From TIE outskirts OF the town,
Where the old milestone stood,
Now a stranger, looking down,
l behold The shadowy crown
OF the dark and haunted wood.
Is it changed, or am 1 changed:
All. the oaks are fresh and green,
But the friends with whom ranged
Through those thickets are cstrangcd
BY the years that intervene.
Bright as ever flows the sea,
Bright as ever shines the sun
But, alas! they seem to me
Not the sun that used 70 be,
Nor the tides that used TO run.

"Cutting q Dido"

This is a phase older than most
people imagine, Doyou call to mind
the story of Dido, Princes of Tyre?-
Her husband, Acerbas, priest of Her
cules, was murdered for his wealth
by the King of Pygmalion, brother
to Dido. The widowed princess was
enabled to escape from Tyre, bearing
with her the wealth Of her husband
and accompanied by a.number Sf
disafected mobiles.
After variety of adventures they
landed upon the coast OF Africa,
where Dido bargained with natives
for as much land as she could inclose
in a bulls hide. Selecting a large
tough hide, she caused it to be cut
into the smallest possible threads,
with which she inclosed a large track
of country, on which the city of. Car,
thage soon began to rise.
The natives were bound by the
letter of their bargain, and allowed
the cunning queen to have her was;;
and after that, when any one had
played of q sharp trick, they said he
had "cut a Dido" That was almost
three thousand years ago, and the
saving has come down to our day.

HATTIE IryDE.

lam Hattie Hyde, an old maid, at
least not a young one, and I intcnC
to remain so.
But came very near getting mar
ricd last Spring, and.I will tell you
how it happened.
lam tlirty=Gye apd;not absolutely
ugly-at Least, when I look in tho
glass, l see reflected there a good
fresh complexion, sparkling hazel
eyes, and IN abundance of brown
hair.
Imight have married two or three
times only ] wasn't really in lorc.
But when Clarence Raymond came
down to spend the vacation with his
aunt-Mrs. Richford-I must confess
to a little womanly hutter around the
heart, for he was tall ard handsome.
and in short, just the hero OF TO
nance that I had always dreamed
about.
Hattie" said Mrs. RichSord-we
were quite confidential friends, and
called one another Hattie and Pane.
La, and borrowed each others books,
and all sorts of things-"Hattic J
think Clarence rather fancies YOU"
"Do you?7 said l, feeling the tell,
tale bushes coming into my face:
and my heart began to thump be-
meath the. pretty lace fuckers of Val
encienncs and pink ribbon that ]
had taken to wearing that day.
Il am certain Of it." said Mrs.
Richford; @and how nice it will be tc
have you for a cousin"
"Yes.'
1t was very nice to be engaged.
He gave a lovely cameo ring,
choiccr and more antique than any
diamond could have been.
It had been his mothers ring, he
said, and he repeated the most delic'
ious poetry. and he vowed-that it ex.
pressed the very sentiments Of his
heart.
And We had wanderings in the
cool, fernSccnted woods, and l began
to wonder as to whether l should be
be married in white satin Or a dove
eolored travelling dress, and pink rib
bons on my hat.
One evening, just after Clarence
had returned to his unavoidable en-
gagement in the city, old Uncle El'
nathan came to visit me.
Uncle Elnathan was one OF those
persons ofwhom we are apt to ask
"why were they ever created?"
He was 4 very venerable old gen.
tleman, with long silver hair, that
fell over'the collar of his bottle-green
coat, and cloth CATERS that irresisti,
bly, reminded one Of a black pussy
cat, and he took snuff and talked
through his pug nose.
Harriet" said Uncle Elnathan,
SIS this truc?"
&Is what true, Uncle?"
"All this fol-de-rol about your be-
ing engaged to q man ten year;
younger than yourself. Harriet
Harriet! l thought you had better
sense"

I leaned the least bit'in the world
forward to:see the yeung man,
: Good heavenss
; IT was Carences
ss4s Isat staring, completely con
eealed from his view by the golden
hair and the lilac willow plume,
could hear his light, peculiar laugh.
ssYou wouldn't have me. yourself,
Kate, said he, eyou have only your.
self to blame for it.
aThat'sn no reason yoa should throw
yourself away .pouteaS the young

sod eaoM. s.1se; would yod IKE
to see her photograph"
And then the two heads were close
together for an instant, and the
young lady's ripping laugh mingled
with Clarence's more mellow tones.
aThe idea ofcarrying such thing
next to your heart!m she said.
'It does seem a little outrageous,
don't it?" said he. 'But when We
are married all that sort of thing
will be over. FL see that she finds
'her. leyel!'
Yes, when! thought I, now
thoroughly disenchanted.
And l got up and hurried out Of
the restaurant, nearly stumbling on
a tray, a dish Of oysters, and a cup OF
coffee.
Olive changed my mind" said
], finging a sovereign toward him.
'Neyer mind those oysters"
1 took the next train to B, and
wrote catching note to Clarence the
same evening.
Do you want to know what was in
it?
OF course, like all women's letters,
the best part of it was in the post
script:
aour engagement is at an end.
II. H.
P.s. The next time you examine
ladies' photographs in crowded res
taurant, it may be well to examine
your ncighbors."
Clarence had some sense after all.
Hencyer came near me with useless
apologies.
I gave the wedding dress to little
Dorothy Miller, who was to be mar
''ried in October, and could not afford
a trouseau. l suppose l shall wear
out the blue and the peach color and
the maroon in time.
Oh, forgot to say that Mrs. Rich
ford was exceedingly angry. 1t
seems that Clarence had promised to
pay her hundred pounds that he
had borrowed of her, when he got
hold of my money.
And l am thankful, from the bot
tom of my heart, that l still remain
