1t is night, and the moon shines
down upon silent city, touching
dome and SpiTe and turrent with its
silyery splendor. The busy wharves
are deserted, and the huge ships and
steamers lie motionless and appar-
emily tenantless at the docks. In
what was the business part of the
city during the day is now the ut
most quiet /; long lines Of lofty
warehouses and stores loom duskily
upward, dark and tena1tless, and
entire streets are deserted save by
the watchman pacing his lonely beat,
while the lights in the dwelling
houses have long since gone out.
Night is brooding over the city, and
it's wearied toilers are taking their
needed rest.
Truly rest is sweet, and how of
ten when weary with earth's toll
and worn with its vexations, and
sad with its sorrows, we fell the
need of moro enduring rest than
we have ever known, and we think
of the blessed promise of our Say
iour, Come unto me, al We that
labor, and are heavy laden, and /
will give you rest. Tile Cottage

She Couldn't Do Ii.

Yesterday morning when the
mistress Of an Edmund street resi-
dence proposed that one of the hired
help polish the front windows Sarah
replied that she couldn't: possibly
think Of it. The lady demanded
an explanation, and the girl said:
"I'd have been willing enough a
month ago. but you see my Johnny
is now driving q car on this line and
he'd see me-"
Suppose he should ?" queried
the lady.
II wouldn't have him for all the
world, ma'am, for he's been here
two or three times a nd he thinks I
am you and you are me. If he saw
me rubbing the glass he'd know l
didn't own the house, and there'd
be an end to our match. Please,
ma'am, you 60 out, or else let me

Only little word of one syllable,
and yet iJ is one of the sweetest
words in our language. and the very
sound of it calls up thoughts of
comfort, peace and quietness. AS
we think Of 1t pleasant visions of
rest from toll come to us. Now it
is stately group of palrn-trees on
the deserts verge, while resting in
the grateful shadow of them, are
swarthy Arabs and sunbrowned
travellers, and tired, patient camels !;
while the burning sun shimmers
dazzlingly down upon the red sands
OF the desert stretching over an
arid waste leagues and leagues away.
Again we see harvest field with
standing ripened grain, and gather
er sheayes and grain, just cut down
by the reaper'S hand, while in the
shadow of group Of naples the
tired and heated reapers are taking
their noon tide rest. Again the
scene changes and we see pleas
ant country village, with its white
church half hidden in the trees.
The stiffness of a summer Sabbath
il over all, and speaks to us of peace
aud rest. The blacksmith ham
Ber lies idle upon his anvil the
mill wheel has ceased its revolutions,
and the silence broken only by the
twitter of birds, the hum Of bees,
and the quiet talking Of the villagers
on their way toehureh. How mon
otonous life would be with it's unend-
ing round of toll were il not for
this divinely appointed day of rest
for man and beast, and how many
pleasant associations are connected
with that day, which, as Lengfel-
ow has beautifully expressed it,
'is the golden clasp which binds

From the Virginia CITY tNev., cronical.

Last night, just after Blinkus and
his wife were snagly slowed away
in bed, Mrs. B. thought she heard
the front door slam.
"Hubbie, dear, do you hear that
front door slammin ?"
"No, dearie, l locked il just be-
fore l wound up the clock"
81 didn't see you go out in the
Hall :"
"But I did, loYe."
81 think you must be mistaken. y
"Well, know when I iecS the
door, Dammit ~
"Now you shant swear at me.
That door is open, and you know it.
S'posin' the burglars get in and car
~ off all the silver. We'd be in a
nice fix"
"They'd be worse off with the
old plated stuff. Besides, who ever
hears of burglary above A street. !"
IF you don't get upand lock that
door I'll rush out and scream for
the police, I'll rouse the neighbor-
hood, fits the last act of my life. :"
Blinkus, some what alarmed at
the threat, rose up and began to
tumble around for a match.
''The matches are at the end of
the washstand, love-"
Blinkus paused at the place desig-
mated, and broke a soap-dish.
II never saw such an awkard man
since | was born," quoth Mrs. b.
from the bed, just US he stumbled
back over spittoon and sat down
in it so forcibly that it was smashed
into forty pieces.

Blinkus next struck his toe against
a towl-rack, and an oath dissolved
itself in the darkness. Then he
stepped on the baby's rattle, and ran
one of the points into his foot half
an inch. Jumping aside he upset
the centre-table, and began to floun-
der out toward the hall. His young
hopeful's carriage was there, and he
fell over it six different ways before
he reached the door.
"Was it open ?' queried a voice
from the bed.
"No'--!'

''It takes cash to travel around and

of about fifteen feet. He was sense

The disadvantages OF wearing false
hair were painfully illustrated at
Millersyille, Pa, the other day. A
boat, in which two young ladies and
two young men we're passengers,
capsized suddenly, and one OF the
ladies sank out of sight. AS she re-
appeared one of the men grasped her
hat, which came off. The lady
sank, and en- her second appearance
Jared no better, for. this time the
frightened youth caught her by her
hair, which, being false, came of in
his hands, and down she went
again. At last however, she was
caught by her real hair and dragged
aboard the boat, after having had
what may properly be called hair
