embracing with that heartiness
that belong to the sons of the
Vaterland although they never
met before this morning. The
stiff old maid in the corner has
shaken my hands in both her
own so many times that I feel
they are quite sore.
All the inhabitants Of the little
village come running around the
train: "What is it? Where is be?
is it the Kaiser himself, or is it the
Kronprinz?" they ask in bewilder-
ed excitement at the sight of ours.
But all the Kaisers and Kron-
primes in Europe put together
could not have aroused the food
of feeling that surged through
that train. 1t was sympathy with
a sentiment far older tban 10y
alty-older than the King to
whom loyalty is duo which was
stirring every heart; it was sympa-
thy with a mothers love!

How They WILL SoUEAK.-A
man who draws the prize of
squeaking boots from shoe store
always gets them on Saturday,
and by the next day the full pow
er Of the squeak is developed.
He arrives at church at the open
ing of the long prayer, and is ad-
mitted by the sexton with admon-
itory gestures Of silence. The
first step inside the door is follow
ed by a sound like that Of ripping
a clapboard from the side of a
barn, while all the ladies on the
right side Of the aisle tip their
topknots on one side and squint
from their left eyes, those on the
other side reversing the order.
Balancing painfully on his corn, be
makes more gradual effort, and
is rewarded by hearing the same
harmonic reverberance like linked
sweetness, long drawn out. Then
be tries to navigate on the balls
Of his feet, and wabbles along on
his heels. BE clutches convulsive-
ly at the sides Of the pews to light
en- his weight, knocks down a wo-
mans parasol, and gets all the dea-
cons to raising their bald heads
and the skin across their foreheads,
and scowling as they do the rest
of the week. So be determines to
mind the matter no more, and
trots along fast, jerking out spas
modic shrieks with a regularity
that he never could attain at any
thing else, and reaches his pew
with all his under garments turn
ed to porous plasters, and his face
of a color to match the saint done
in red glass in the principal win
dow.

"Johnny, don't you think you
have got as much as you can car
ry ?" said Frank to his brother,
who was standing with open arms
receiving the bundles his father
placed upon them. "You'Ve got
more than you can carry now. "
"xNever mind" said Johnny, in a
sweet, happy voice, Tiny father
knows how much I can carry"
How long it takes many Of us to
learn the lesson little Johnny had
by heart. "Father knows how
much can carry" No grumbling,
no discomfort, but a sweet trust in
our fathers love and care that we
will not be overburdened. Our
Heavenly Father never lays a bur-
den upon Us we cannot bear. So
we will trust Him, as little john
nv did his father.

LO, THE POOR INDIAN.

"Got an Injun for you!" whis-
pered Bijah, as q prison came out
in the Detroit police court.
He was a deck-hand on apropel-
ler. Some one had injured hisleft
eye, his proud spirit was down to
zero,and his outfit would have sold
for twenty-five cents at second
hand clothing store. Still he was
an Indian, and as good-looking an
Indian as can be found on the
plains.
"Is your name Okemos?' asked
the court.
"No, sir-named Sam,'' was
the reply. .
"Where is your lodge?"
"Down here ten rods"
"Where is your squaw?"
"Him run away two year ago."
"Where is your tribe?"
"Eh?"
"Where, sir, are the dignifed,
stoical and gallant red men of the
forest who used to camp on the
very spot where this station house
now stands ?"
"Him in Toledo, I guess"
responded Sam.
"Child Of the forest-native of
the prairies, I feel sad for you,"
said the court, as he leaned back
and shucked a peanut. "No lodge
no tribe-no chief-no war
horse-no scalps. Where you play
ed when child you will now find
oyster cans and old boots. White
men are raising cabbages and such
base truck On the hills where You
used to hunt the wild roebuck.
Where you once halted to listen
to the whispers of the streamlet,
you will now hear the sound of a
John Chinaman chasinga woolen
undershirt up and do~na wash
board. l don't want to strike an
Injun after he is down. Goaway,
restless, broken spirit-get out Of
doors and try and be better red
mani"
"Heap glad-old man heap good
feller!" whispered the delighted
Sam, as he bent his back and shot
under the rope.

a DREADFUL .REsULT.-There
are two persons on the lawn. 1t
is pa and ma. They are playing

See how she smiles. There, be

smile now. She only hammers
the ground. How be keeps going
through the arches. 1t il, s,not her
turn yet. But how hard she hits
her ball. Did you hear some glass
jingle? It was the cellar window.
There is her mallet, two. It is
flung toward the man. See how
be lodges it. 1t has landed over
the fence. The woman has got
through. She is going into the
house. How furiously she
twitches along. Now the man is
left alone. He is playing croquet
all by himself.

their wounded feelings, and from
being almost enemies they became
| firm friends.
At the expiration Of a week
Snaggles' store was opened again,
and customers throng;ng in found
everything the same save a new
though in some way familiar face
at the desk, a handsome k.hair-
ed and blue-eyed man, introduced
pompuously to them as "My SON.
n.law, sir, Mr.. Kregs," by Snag-
giles himself. Gregory and Gibbs
couldn't stand it at first, but they
have become accustomed to the
idea now. Snaggles has rest and
comfort in mis- old age, and his ac'
counts were never in so prosper
Gus a condition.
We passed tho old store the
other day, and, CHANGING 70 gaze
at the signboard, saw that a new
and stylish one replaced the famil-
lar sign of "Claudius Snaggles."
Indeed, we read'in the guilt let-
ters, fashioned so artistically, the
names:
"Snaggles & Kregs, booksellers
and stationers," from which we
infer that Leonora's father was
not after all, so very much dis.
pleased with her strange choice.

Polished manners have often
made scoundrels successful, while
the best of men, by their hardness
and GOODNESS, have done themselves
incalculable injury-the she'll be-
ing so rough that the world could
not believe that there was pre-
cious kernel within it. Had
Raleigh never flung down his cloak
in the mud for proud Elizabeth to
walk on, his career in life would
have hardly been worth recording.
Scores of men have been success
full in life by pleasing manners
alone.

Two chnms, desiring to make
themselves comfortable, had a
stove put up in their chamber.
One bought the stove and the
other paid a mason to have a hole
cut in the chimney. They broke
up housekeeping the other day
and divided the effects. One
took the stove and the other the
hole.

Some of the New York papers
are beginning to cry against the
lavish expenditure of money for
church music in Gotham. The to-
tai cost of all the choirs is said to
be not less than s5OO,oOO. The
highest price paid an organist is
$4,000, and a singer $500, the
latter sum being paid to Miss I'm

MISS gNAGGLEg GH0IGE.

In Mr.. Snaggles' stationery and
book store there was strange COM
motion. The clerks, with their
polite manners and air of style,
smiled st one another beamingly.
Mr.. Snaggles' daughter, Leonora,
was coming home from boarding
school, and being an accomplished
scholar and mathematician, was
to be. elevated to the post of book
keeper in the store in place Of her
father, retired, and Miss Snagg!es,
it was reported, was rare little
beauty, with the rosiest Of cheeks,
darkest Of eyes, and most bewitch-
ing manners. Indeed, she was a
thoroughly captivating little witch,
and her presence at the desk
would make the store of Claudius
,Snaggles a very attractive spot.
Thus reasoned the gentlemanly
clerks upon the morning, blythe
bye, to welcome so charming q
creature, being full of sunshine,
spring morning bright in the
extreme. A bevy of clerks stood
by the door talking eagerly togeth-
er concerning the fair stranger.
Let US listen to their conversa-
ton.
81 tell you what" said James
Gregory, a most important per-
sonage in Snaggles' store, as he
stood twisting his light mustache
jauntily-quite a handsome fellow
to behold 81 tell you what, Miss
Snaggles will find that she must
decide pretty soon between US all,
for we're in love with her every
one of US, you know, even before
we've seen her." James. Gregory
smiled conceitedly. It was very
evident upon whom Miss Snagg!es'
choice must fall!
"Pshawl'' replied another gen.
tlemanly clerk, by name Thomas
Gibbs, as be starched his collar
higher in the neck, iingled his
watch-guard, and cursorily glanced
at the array Of rings he wore, as

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.
A THRILLING RAILWAY INCIDENT IN
GERMANY,

A European correspondent of
the Boston Advertiser tells this
touching story in a pleasant
way:
It was a third-class carriage. She
was apleasant-faced young woman,
going, I think, for the first time
after her marriage, to visit her
parents in her old home, to show
them their two fine grandcbil-
dren. At least this was the little
history I built up for her in my
own brain from a word or two
that I heard between her and her
young husband at the station as he
put her into the carriage with an
afectionate farewell. I always
watch with great interest the fare
we'll and greetings of my fellow
travellers, and have a fashion OF
thinking out for myself the whole
story Of their previous lives from
the little hints that l getin this
way. It is to me as if I were per-
mitted to open the second volume
Of an interesting romance, and al
lowed to read only one short scene
in this, and asked to gress as near.
ly as possible from this one scene
the previous course Of the story
and the characters of the actors in
it.
The youngest child was an in
fant of about three or four months
old-very quiet and good; the
other was a pretty, restless little
girl Of three, who could not be
still a single moment, and kept
the careful mother busy by her
questions and wants ard childish
prattle. She was not at all bash
full, and soon talked to US also in
such a natural, coquettish, conde.
scending way that we were quite
in love with the charming little
lassie, and begged her mother not
to check her innocent advances to
US.
When we had been travelling
together for two or three hours,
and began to feel quite like old &C.
quaintances, while the train was
going at full speed, the mother
half rose from her seat to place
the little girl, who had left her
place again, on the opposite seat.
How it happened I havc never un.
derstood, it was one Of those acci-
dents which seem impossible, and,
in fact only happen once in a hun
dred thousand times but just as
she stood half erect, holding her
sleeping babe upon one arm and
her little frolicsome maiden some
what awkwardly on the other,
the little girl made one of her sud
den, quick movements, and in an
instant she was gone from our
eyes.
What a moment! The poor mo-
ther stood fixed and rigid in ex-
actly the same attitude, her arms
still bent as though arouL' her
child, gazing with wide open, fix
ed eyes at the place whence she
vanished. She seemed literally,
suddenly turned to stone; with
the rest of US the case was almost
the same. How long this lasted l

A CHARMING WOMAN.

A charming woman, I've heard it said
By other women as light as she;
But all in vain puzzle my head
To find wherein the charm may be.
Her face, indeed, is pretty enough,
And her form is quite as good as the best,
Where nature has given the bony stuff,
And clever milfiner all the rest.
Intelligent? Yes-in certain way,
With the feminine gift Of ready speech,
And knows very we'll what not TO say
When the theme :rauscends her reach;
But turn the topic on things to wear
From an opera cloak to robe de mutt
BATS, h:saues or bonnets-'twill make you
ssare
To see how fluent the lady can be.
Her laugh is hardly thing to please;
For an honest laugh must always start
From gleesome mood, like sudden breeze,
And hers is purely matter Of art
A muscular motion made to show
What lature designed to lie beneath
The finer mouth; bat VIII at can she DO,
If that is ruined to show the teeth?
To her seat in church-a good half mile
When the day is fine she is sure to go,
Arrayed, of, course, in the latest style
La mode de Paris has got to show,
And she puts her hands on the velvet pew
9(Can hands so white have ta!nt Of sin ,
And thinks how her prayer books tint Of
blue
Must harmonic with her milky skin!
Ah! what shall we say Of one who walks
In fields of flowers to choose the weeds?
Reads authors Of whom she never talks,
And talks of authors she never reads?
She's charming woman, I've heard it said
By other women as light as she;
But all IN vain puzzle my head
To find wherein the charm may be.
