Max Adler, who writes for PhiIa-
delphia paper, has a friend named
Summer, who deserves pity. He was
going UP to Reading not long since,
and when reaching the depot he hap
pened to look in the ladies' room.q A
woman sat there with lot of baggage
and three children, aud when she saw
Simmer she rushed toward him, and
before he could defend himself. she
threw her arms about his neck, nes-
tied her head upon his breast, and
burst into tears. Simmer was amazed,
indignant, confounded; and ere he
could find utterance for his feelings,
she exclaimed 5ii lo bkbT- lsasiis - 2

and smiled through her tears. yafYes

go my coat; it excites remarks. .aAca &
Then she buried her bonnet deeper
into his Waistcoat, and began to cry
harder than ever, and said -
20, Henry, how can you treat me
so? How can you pretend that you
are not my husband ?'' $3.50, -

Come. ere the light of the morning shall CLEAN
Beautiful dream come and Iinger. oh linger,
Beautiful. beautiful, beautiful dream.
Spiendors may vanish. and friendships deceive

Hearts that I've trusted be not what they

Let me but know. then. that thou win not leave

Beautiful. beautiful. beautiful dream.
Beautiful dream, in my darkness revealing,
Faces whose smiles were thrillisg to me;
Voices that murmur like sweet music stealing,
Borne with the breeze e'er the tremulous sea.
Lo in the darkness of midnight I'm waiting,
Waiting for those who were wrecked on lies

Wait them, oh watt them again on thy pinions.
