81. ANDREWS LINKS.

As came over st. Andrews Links
So sweet face saw,
Ithought-"Could that maiden win,
I'd make her mine by law"
The sw Get face turned with rosy blush,
The sweet mouth smiled on me;
And sweet voice said, 10 Cousin Fred,
Can so forgotten be ?"
My heart leapt up with sudden throb;
My pulse beat hard and wild,
TWAS Cousin Jean whom had not sech
Since she was slender child.
And since we met, the sister loved,
In her blooming youth had died;
And Jean had wept for a fathers loss,
By her widowed mothers side.
So we turned ana spoke Of the dear old home
And the tranquil days gone by,
And the friendly folk We both had known
Ere we learned to weep or sigh.
And SO We walked-and 30 we talked
Till we plighted o1r hearts and hands;
While the slow white waves, like bridal veil,
Crept over the cleaning sands.
But small was the fortune could boast,
And Cousin Jean had none,
So it Was agreed should toll awhile
Where gold might yet be won.
One light kiss on her tender check
To bar her gentle tears;
One long clasp of the fast-locked hands,
Which might sunder, perhaps, for years;
One glad smile on the careworn face
or her mother weak and lone;
One warm thought in my eager breast,
While JEANNE was vowed my own.
And away sailed from st. Andrews Bay
To many distant shore.
In the North, where the giittering icebergs rise,
And the South where the tempests roar.
Aud in all the lands have known and seen,
Far over lbe restless main,
ihave never yet met with sosweet face
As that OF my Cousin Jean.
So still plcd on, through the yearning days.
Formy haven ofpcacs and rest;
Till the ships white sail. like sea gulps wing, !,
Shall point to my rock. bound nest.
But hey ond that patience which les both hearts,
No bitter thought can come,
For she knows am true in the far.of lands,
And know she is true at home.
And oft, in the comfort of happy dreams,
see meath a summer sky,
The long green stretch Of St. Andrews Links,
And the sweet face passing byi

The Rarity Of Railroad Accidents.

Charles Francis Adams in his
lectures on railroad accidents, says:
fla person travelled as Il passen-
ger on Massachusetts, railroads eight
hundred miles a day every day OF
his life, he would, by a doctrine of
chances, be seventy years old before
he would receive an injury in a rail
road accident. French statistics
show stage-coach travelling was at
least fifty times as dangerous as
travelling by railroad. The danger
of being murdered in Massachusetts,
was greater by far than that of being
killed in a railroad accident.
In 1873 the railroads carried forty
two million passengers, without kill
ing one; in the same year, in Boston
alone, five persons were killed by
tumbling down stairs, and seven by
falling out of windows. With seven
ty thousand miles of track full of
curves, culverts and bridges, with
safety depending on everything, from
the state of the atmosphere to the
strength of the rail--with trains
moving in every direction, at al
accidents must happen, since
the managers of railroads are human.
That they should happen so rarely
is the true cause for wonder. There
is no more wonderful human achieve
ment than the combination of speed
and safety with which the movement
of modern civilization is maintained
through the unceasing exercise of hui
man care, human skill and human
foresight.

Cardinal McCloskey's Sadness


Boston Transcript.
Close observers among the multi
tude that went out to see the Cardi-
nal on his recent visit to this city
could not have failed to be impressed
with the mild, sad, and almost pathet-
ic expression seated on the filrrowed
face of the wearer OF the scarlet robe
of Il prince Of the church. With all
due respect it was remarked that the
venerable prelate looked little
scared, and good deal bored by his
new dignity 1t seemed plain that
he was not the stuff that cardinals
are made of, such cardinals at least,
rs those with whom the popular
mind connects the title. The i'm
preston was borne out by the gentle
but marked rebuke that the Cardinal
gave the too ardent address-maker,
who seemed to be in hurry for the
church to join issue with the State in
this country, and for the Cardinal to
lay his head on the block. 1t is also
supported 10y the Cardinals reply at
the reception given him and the pa
pal legation in New York at Delmon-
ico's, Monday evening. II am deep
ly conscious" said Cardinal McClosk-
ey, "of the very great and even sub.
lime dignity conferred upon me, and
| am only Inundated at the thought
that am so little worthy OF it, and
that it has not fallen upon stronger
and ADLER shoulders than mine"
Further on he said, "The office or
dignity of cardinal is not now what
it once was; it no longer brings with
it wealth or powers, or great infu-
cnce in the world. 1t has no longer
anything in it that can justly excite
the jealousy or the envy of kings, or
princes, or people. 1t is an office Of
dignity, which in these days, l may
say, is a post Of danger" The
thought Of the burdens, the duties Of
the post, and the possible day of
trial or day of danger, when the car
dinal "must show himself in the van
guard" had been the reason of his
accepting the dignity conferred upon
him. SO much, of course, was due to
the occasion, but it is safe to believe
that no ''day Of trial OF day of dan
ger" will be fastened on by any act
of this large-minded and patriotic,
truly American prelate.

Girlish Ways
New York Commercial Advertiser

New York COmmefclhl Advertiser.
The supercillious state of society
at the present time induces thought
full parents to wish for a family Of
boys rather than girls. The affected
and ridiculously superficial manners
of the fcmaninc sex from the little
school miss to the young lady who
has slipped over her teens into matu-
rity, is painfully apparent just nov,
when the conduct of the women q
century ago is wildly recalled, and
their common sense and fine charac-
teristics shine out in contrast. Amer
lean society is undoubtedly under
going fermentation. The scum and
the spccks and impurities which arise
from the great cosmopolitan mixture
have to settle and become classified
before we can have substantial and
aristocratic circle, above the tollles
that now beittle it. Since the intro
duction of the "Grecian Bend" by q
fashionable belle of this city, a series
of contortions have followed which
have surpassed it in absrdity. The
bending of the body as if cramped
by sciatica, or stomach-ache, became
so fashionable that it 1t ceased to oc-
casion remark. The hanging of the
hands, In crocodile, was next the
rage, and was well caricaturcd by
.servantgalisln, when horny-knuckled
hands in cheap gloves swung loosely
about in public conveyances on "days
out" The salute has been the last
to suffer outlandish manipulation, un-
til now the graceful inclination of the
head is seen no more. A wriggle of
the chin upward and outward, with a
spasm of the mouth at the same in
slant, as if some hidden pulley, like
the jumping,jack's, were suddenly
twitched, is now the only mode of
recognition endurable in high-toned
circles. One can witness these alb
surd contortions, if in good humor,
and laugh behind his sleeve; but at
times these exhibitions are exaspera-
ting. We expect righteousness, the
deepening blush, shyness-even to
awkwardness-at q certain age. Oc-
casionally we do encounter these de-
lightful attributes by the way-side or
in horsc-cars, when a miss with
school books in arms will rise and
give her seat to gray hairs, wan
face and threadworn wedding ring,
and will then blush crimson and look
as if she had committed crime
Our boys may be grimmy-handed
and wear holes in their knees-they
may lisp and drawl aud go slowly
through the age of puppyism. We
can bear that. But the girls, the lit
tie school girls, the misses with
crimped hair and ribbons, the young
ladies and the women, indeed, let
them be natural and unaffected, for
'What are little girls made OF!
Sugar and spice and all that is nice.
That's what little girls are made OF.
But what are little boys made OF?
