Kids Funeral.

The late Isaac o. Barnes has been the
subject of many good stories, one OF
which has not yet found its way into
print. He had been invited to attend
the funeral of a particular friend and
crOny, and, as the deceased had at their
last interview especially invited his be-
ing present, he felt in duty bound TO re-
spond. Arriving Rt the house of mourn
ing, he found the family assembled in a
very small and uncomfortable room, in
the middle of which stood the coffin,
that all might take a last look at the
face of the departed. The service was
conducted by two clerqymeB, friends of
the family, who, with their long prayers
and extended " remarks, consumed
fully two hours, during which Mr..
Barnes suffered untold agony Of sus-
pense and impatience. Hardly had the
second minister pronounced the ''amen''
when Barnes, in his well-known squeaky
voice, turning to the person nearest
him, said
"Did you know Kid ?"
Yes, sir, said the man addressed,
in a low voice.
'Good fellow, wasn't he p continued
Barnes.
Yes, sir, ;" still in a suppressed voice.
And he was q mighty smart one,
too, squeaked Barnes.
90 Very smart, =" almost whispered the
other, as the company present began to
look in that direction.
"Yes, he was, piped Barnes, still
louder, with one of his expletives, /" and
II he'd had the running of this funeral
he'd have been under ground an hour
and a half ago =

A Social Torture.


Almost every person must at some
time or other have experienced the ut
ter misery of waiting in a bleak, DESC
late room for the appearance of the host
or hostess. The stiff. uniform angular
ity of everything the room contains re-
duces in a few moments the most gay
and sanguine disposition to a state of
abject dullness. The mind begins to
work ont mathematical problems with
the picture cords, or exhausts itself in
vain endeavors to discover if one of the
pictures is hung not quite parallel with
the pattern of the wall paper. The
whatnot does not offer any relief. There
are the same little parian images, aud
shells, and china of antique fashion,
that you have been accustomed to see
in other houses ever since you can re-
member anything. The specimens of
wool work and embroidery displayed
with agonizing regularity over the
backs of the chairs, or on the lounge,
an exact fac simile of those in the par
lors of at least a dozen of your ac-
quainiances. The little table, with the
absurdly crooked legs and marble top,
and the basket of wax-work-fruit under
the glass case, have long ago ceased to
charm. The lounge is one of double
ended pattern, and the least motion
sends you coasting down off the seat,
while the rigid rectangular chairs pre-
clude all ideas of comfort. Everything
Is so distressingly orderly that a speck
of dust would be positive relief, and
a remnant of last months newspaper q
treasure of untold value. People who
have no desire TO subject their friends
TO this ordeal, viii note what Scribner's
Magazine has to say on the subject
While you are arranging the parlor,
just have thought for the visitors who
must sometimes wait to see you, and
carefully refrain from putting every
object of interest beyond their reach.
OF course, as q careful hostess, you
never mean to keep callers waiting but
if they come when the baby is on the
eve of dropping TO sleep, or you are IN
the midst of planning a dinner with
the cook, you must delay a little, while
they are reduced to staring out the win
dow, or to an involuntary effort TO pen
citrate some insignificant household
secret. The family photograph album
IS usually regarded as q sufficient re
source in moments like these but is
there not something akin to indelicacy
in allowing strangers and ordinary ac-
quaintences to turn over the likenesses
Of our nearest and dearest; perhaps to
eriticise them with the freedom of unfa-
miliarity, or the unsympathy natural to
a lack OF personal appreciation The
lat magazines, q book of good engTav-
ings, @ household volume of poetry, a
stereoscope and views, photographs Of
foreign scenes, and a dozen other
things, are ali good aids TO the occupa-
ton Of stray minutes. Moreover, they
often suggest to the visitor and hest
topics of conversation more profitable
and interesting than the state of the
weather or the hist ~ of the kitchen.

Mild Winters.

The mildness of the present season,
both here and in Europe, has induced
some of the book worms to look up
precedents. The result is that, so far,
at least, as Europe is concerned, for we
have not the samO records here to fall
back upon, the present bears no COM
parison to some of the winters long
gone by. In 1172 the temperature was
so high in England that leaves came out
on the trees in January, and birds
hatched their broods in February. In
1899 the win er was equally mild, and
the maidens of Cologne wore wreaths
of violets and corn flowers at Christmas
and on twelfth da.. In 1921 the trees
lowered in the month of March, and
the vines in the month of April. Cher
ries ripened in the same month, aud
grapes appeared in May. In 1872 the
trees were covered with leaves in Janu-
arv. and the birds Matched their Young
in February, as in 1172 in 1885 the
Same thing was repeated, and 1t Is ad-
ded that the corn was in the ear at
Easter. There was IN France neither
snow no frost throughout the winters of
1888, 1907, 1909, 1917, and 1853; final
lv. in 1862. even in the north of Ger
many. the stoves were not lighted, and
trees lowered in February. Coming to
later dates, the winter of 1867, when
it thundered at Paris on the 2S4h OF
January, and that of 1866, the year OF
the great inundntion of the Seine, may
be mentioned as exceptionally mild.

10 THE sOUTn WIND.

Over the mountains and snow-decked trees
That sunlit cbeerily glisteu,
Fou carol your mystical symphonies,
While pause and, spel-bOund, listen;
And seem but to hear a melodious rhyme
Which your tuneful zephyrs are weaving
Aud It tells Of a cline in the olden time
1hat knew naught Of bitter greving.
H.
As kindly free as the hearts You have left,
Yon tondle the plushy mosses,
And enfold each shrub in the shadowy cleft
Which the sunlight seldom crosses.
The genitans look up when your coming they hear,
And their tributes Of perfume render,
As you rustic the dew-spangled ferns anear'
Aud the leaves in their russet splendOr.
Then come over the leas, Oh {! thou gentle breeze,
With the odor Of far-Of flowers;
Ally spirit enchsnt with your adsome glees,
Az II mnrmi.r Of evergreen bowers
Come on through the trees il their garb Of death,
And sing Of the spring TO the leaves tnat are
Eneir6le my brow with your baIrny breath.
And tell me Of skies that are ever shining.
sv.
The tapering willows tremDle TO thee
Through each Of their pensile tresses,
The poplar and oas, in their tremulous glee,
Wave to your tender caresses;
SO ardently WOO them with houeyed mouth
In kisses so thrilling and tender.
Come, amorous wind, from the sunny south,
And deepen the blushing woods splendor.
For your coming our naples piaintively sigh
Through the mOOnlight's frosty gleamingi
Then euwrap them as visions OF days gone BY
Oft gladden. old age in its dreaming,
Come, whisper of hope TO some lone little bird
That crOuches in Withering grasses,
Aud shsk kes when the icicled branches are stirred,
By the northern gale as 1t passes.
VI.
%, tell of the cline where Inagnolias wave,
As they bend to your sweet embraces,
And name the dear land Of the true and the brave,
Where afhiction has worn its traces.
Oh bring to me oft the scent Of the pine,
Which Of old You we're wont to borrow
Twill still send thrill through this heart Of mine,
Though it comes with the southlands sorrOw.
