The Man Who Most Needs Pity.

Last night a wretched man, on train
between Allegheny and Pittsburgh, lost
his hat. The hat was probably worth
two dollars, but if that man had Just
had $4,000 swept from his possession he
could not have appeared more supreme
ly wretched. He evidently would have
taken his chance in an Ashtabula horror
with JOY, rather than sit there hatless
and suffering the pitiless mirth of fellow
passengers, and, when the reader comes
to think of it, is there any position more
humiliating than the one occupied by
the hatless man? Ones dearest friends
may surround him, and the man he loves
better than brother share his seat.
Were it paltry dollar or two, or even a
coat, eager hands might make good his
loss, but is there friend so near or dear
from whom the uncovered wretch could
borrow hat? For the man who has
lost wife or child or parents there is I'M
mixed sympathy, and for the man whose
little all has been skillfully distracted
from his pocket there is the same balm
in lesser degree. But to the man who
has lost his hat words of coincidence
seem horrid mockery, and in his inmost
soul he feels poignantly that he is being
laughed at. There is no man in exist
ence on this rotund sphere who needs
more sympathy, and gets less, than the
man who has lost his hat in a crowd. -

Be What You Are.

Many years ago, when luc;fer matches
were yet unknown, and the Undertook
with its flint and steel, formed the only
domestic intrument for obtaining a
light, little old man used to walk
about in one of the suburbs of London
holding in his hand fan-shaped bunch
of matches, made, as usual in those
days, of sDlinters of resinous pine wood
tipped with birthstone. He never Of
fered his goods, except by silent ges-
ture, nor did he make them an excuse
for asking charity, as many others were
in the habit of doing. The good-na-
tured servantgirls who saw him pass
their windows would run up from the
area with smile and half-penny, and
call out, Master, some timber; but
they never spoke of matches climber,
madam" the old man would say; Eyes,
madam and with grave face and a
courteous bow would take their money
and supply their want. 1t was reported
that the old man had seen better days
perhaps he had at some former time
dealt in pine logs, and carried on bust
ness on IA large scale; now he called him
self " small timber merchant" and il
anyone addressed him as the "match
man, or asked him for half pennywortl
of brimstones, he would take no notice
of the speaker, but turn away in disgust

. WAITING FOR SPRING.

Haste. gentle Spring! We waiting for thee,
Waiting the CLEAN of thy garments to see;
Waiting and watching to welcome thee here:
larry no longer, sweet pet of the year.
Surly-faced March has no right to thy name;
Year after year he il ever the same;
Frost. snow and ice, and wild winds in his train.
Filter companions for stern Winters reign.
Come crowned with garlands OF leaves and flowers,
send thy soft breath through forests and bowers;
Bring all the singing birds back once again,
Scatter sweet odors on hillside and plain. =
Quicken our frames with thy life-gvng clasp,
Chilled into torpor by Winters cold grasp;
Wake fond memories. our spirit to thrill,
Hopes that, though slumbering, have life in them
still.
Thoughts that shall grow meath the spell of thy
power;
Dreams like thy days, mingled sunshine and
shower.
Fancies from which thy soft odors have birth,
Longings that seem to be scarcely of earth.
Haste thee, oh. haste theel why longer delay?
Thou wilt be welcomed by grave and by gay;
Hearts have grown weary in waiting for thee,
But in thy loved presence all sadness shall flee.

Color Significance in Dress.

Without noticing the particular and
purely local Specifications that different
nations have attached to them, colors
have human affinities, and harmonic
with our ideas, but especially with our
feelings and our passions. This is why
women, who are led by sentiment, at
tach more importance to color than men
do. Red is favorite color with all the
nations of the world. AS distant from
yellow and white as it is from blue and
black, it occupies central position
among the primary colors, and in it the
morning and the evening meet and are
united. The expression of blue is one of
purity. 1t may be suitable in its light
shade for the dress of an innocent
maiden, and in its dark for romantic af-
fections and evening thoughts. 1t seems
in this latter case to indicate a mind
which is beginning to withdraw itself
from the realities of life and to incline
to solitude, mystery and silence. There
is something slightly acid in orange
color, just as there is in the fruit from
which it derives its name. Green can
only awaken amiabe and gentle
thoughts, remembrances gracious as
those of spring and other promises of
nature; green gives repose to the mind,
as it does to the sight. 1t is only when
combined with black that green becomes
symbolical of Sadness Btanc's art and
Ornament in Dress.
