An Unfortunate Screnadc.

Trambles and pinned it Qhe mantle)

sentiment as Poe's, | 'spOse? The
worthy couple had retired, and no
sound broke the stiffness but an oc-

But presently another sound was

who had become enamorcd of Il young

Trambles, had had in the darkness

stand beneath their window, intent
upon a sercnade. He opened up
with
"Bc-utiiul dreamer, cnoimy song" etc.
Mr.. TIamblcs jerked himself up on

mcnt. Presently he said:
"ITarriet, who is that fellow down

"You or mel" snecrcd Mrs. Tram

The Land OF the Missing.

In ono of William Blacks novels.
saNsi the indianapolis Henatd, shp
makes one of his people vaguely de-
scribe land which lay across the
sea, to which had fled all who were
numbered among the missing who
there lived, untrammcled by the fol-
lies or misfortuncs of the past. But
the land of the living does not al
ways care for its children. Sad
wrecks go down in surging seas
which surround it. One case, sad
dcst of all in the compass of memo
ry presents itself A boy, an only
child, the idol of wealthy and cultu-
red parentst started for school one
morning with his mothers goodbye
kiss warm upon his lips and his
books in his hands, and never retur-
ned. He was only eight years old,
was as handsome as a cherub, and
was known everywhere among his
as good boy He
was tffeminate in nature and never,
ordinarily, entered upon boyish es-
capades He was to have a rabbit
for his dinner, and he asked as a ia
vor, that it might be Slowed with a
heap of gravy" The dinner was
prepared, but he never came to eat
it. There had been nothing to make
him dissatisfied with his surround.
ings and encourage the idea that hO

away. Sixteen years later his faith

drunken, profane, brutal gambler
Death would have kept him a beau

Home Influence.

If the father chiefly talks "moncy,
money" at home, he generally rears
a family in the worship of the cal
mighty dollar" If he talks mainly
of horses, games and races, he breeds
Il batch of sportsmcn. If fashion is
the family altar, then the children
are offered pas victims to that altar.
If a man makes his own fircsidc at
trdctive, he may reasonably hope to
anchor his own children around it.
My neighbor Q. makes himself the
constant evening companion of his
boys. The result is that his boys
are never found in bad places. But
If a father hears clock strike eleven
in a club house, or the play house he
need not be surprised ifhis boys hear
it strike twelve in the gambling
room or the driuking-saloon. II he
puts the bottle on his own table, he
need not be surprised if drunken
son stagger in, by and by, at his
front door. When the best friend
that childhood and youth ought to
have, becomes their foe, their home
becomes the starting point for moral
ruin.
