GOODNIGHT AND GO0D-NoRNTNG. |

A FAIR little girl sat under d tree.
Sewing as long as her eyes could see:
Then Smoothed her work and folded it
right,
And said: Dear work, goodnight! good
night"
Such number of rocks came over her head,
Crying Cav! caw!" on their way to bed,
She said, as she watched their curious flight:
Little black things, goodnight good
night!'
The horses neighed and the oxen lowed;
The sleeps "bleat, bleat' came over the
road;
All seeming to say, with quiet delight:
Good little girl, goodnight, good-nightr'
She did not say to the sun: g ood-night,"
Though she saw him there, like a ball of
light;
For she knew he had Gods own time to keep
All over the world, and never could sleep.
The tall pink foXgloye bowed his head
The Yiolets courtesied and went to bed;
And good little Lucy tied up her hair
And said on her knees her favorite prayer.
And while on her pillow she softly Law,
She knew nothing more till again it was day.
And all things said to the beautiful sun:
" Good-morning! good-morning! our work is
begun"

my own wlne-merchant-at least as good
| as can be got for money or love. Well,
| when l got near the door, I saw an
! old gentleman walking up and down,
little disturbed, apparently, in his
mind at finding himself in such
queer locality, and as if looking for
something or somebody. A short, rosy
faced person he was, clean shaved as a
pin, and very neat and old-fashioned IN
his dress; and with that sort of an air
about him which marks an English coun-
try gentleman wherever he may be-

little of the young couple. 4
"And you do not think, sir, that my
that Mr.. Vincent is dangerously ill?" said
the old baronet; and there was a sob in
his voice as he spoke, and his hand trem-
bled as he laid it upon mine.
"Here is the house, sir" l said; land
you will be able to Judge for Yourself"
He went in. AT least the baronet went
into the room, trembling in every limb
with the excitement of seeing his son.
But when he set eyes on him the poor
old man was so startled that he could
scarcely speak. His son saw him and
tried to rise, but fell back feebly into his
chair. Dear father" he murmured
weakly, stretching out thin, trembling
hand, forgive"
But the father was on his knees, by the
chair, IN a moment, clasping his sons
head IN his arms, and fondling him as
he had done when the man was baby.
" What have to forgive? You must
forgive me for being so hard, my dear
boy, and get better soon, Wilfred, my
son, my s0n!

The young wife saw it too, and gave

knife had been thrust into her side.
Mr.. Broadman saw it; and, quietly
kneellng down, commended to God-as
we'll as he could, for sobbing-the soul
of His servant departing this life.
And well, why should be ashamed
to confess it'll knelt down too, and
cried like child; for the young man

How AdOlph Dietz Lost and Found
His Wife.

A MERCHANT tailor, named AdOlph
Dietz, whose establishment is at No. 2OO7
Broadway, will probably remember as
long as he lives the sweat he cot himself
into on Saturday night Himself and
wife have been living together for twenty
years without the lars which are too
usually Incidental to double cussedness.
hence it would come very awkward for
him to be without her. On Saturday
evening Mrs. Dietz went to see a neighb0r
who was having bad time with the ague.
or something, and she found the case such
troublesome one that she determined 70
watch it all night, for sweet friendships
sake. So she told the neighbours bow TO
go to AdOlph and tell him that the pro-
gramme was such that it would be nee
essary to sing himself to sleep at once.
The boy had all the faculty for making
things go wrong that boys usually have,
and he got up sensation by sort of neg
alive course. He didn't see the sense of
telling AdOlph that his wife wouldn't be
at home, for Adolph would find it out
anyhow; so when he found the tailor-sbOp
closed he dismissed the subject from his
mind as a good radiance, and attended TO
other business.
Adolph wondered at first where his wife
was; then he began to think it was about
time she was home; then he began to get
nervous, and toward midnight he rushed
into the Fourth District Station and
wanted his wife. He knew something
must have happened to her, and the police
must ind out what it was. Capt. O'NeilI
is one OF the most agreeable fellows in the
world, SO he telegraphed to everywhere
that the lines reached, and asked them if
they had found Adolphs straying wife.
Accordingly as a cherries negative an
sWer was received from some far-of sta
ton, Adolph would grow wilder and rush
of and rouse up another neighbor or two
to tell them his distress and ask them what
they thought of it.
Somebody saw yellow dog which was
IN the habit of following Mrs. Dietz
sometimes coming up from toward the
river, and Adolph was informed of It.
Then he knew that his lost half was float
ing down the Mississippi, and he rushed
OF to tell the police about it and get them
to try the Lightning once more. He did
not know why she should drown herself
OF why anyone else should drown her. or
how it could happen that she should walk
down to the river and accidentally fall in.
out there was the yellow dog, and how
were you going to get around it? That's
all ne wanted to know He was brooding
over the catastrophe and drawing fancy
pictures in his Kinds eye of how the
taklng-of was accomplished, when about
Tour o'clock yesterday morning the ague
above mentioned began to let up little,
and Mrs. Dietz concluded to 90 home and
see about her hubby's breakfast. The di-
alogue which succeeded the meeting is a
matter for exercise of the Imagination;
but they say that that neighbor's boy may
thank his lucky star that he wasn't around
the Dfetz mansion while Adolph's fever
was on, and before he got too limp and
exhausted from reaction to use himself

FEW sins of omission are more mis-
chlevous than the habit of lazy good in
