If ever the sympathy of q crowd Of
guests at a hotel was excited in behalf
Of a poor oppressed maB, says the Tole-
do, Ohio, Blade. it was night or two
ago at the Burnett House. A gentle
man and lady from Adrian entered the
office. The man was small. slight,
smooth -tongued and harmless. The wo-
man was large, stern and quick spoken
while her voice fell upon the ear like
the rasping notes of hoarse buck-saw
The man opened his mouth and said:

pushed him one side sharply, and said
To the clerk:

The clerk immersed the pen in ink.

will you please register"
The husband seemed grateful to be
allowed to exercise his rights as free
born male. American citizen. and step.
ped gladly forward, wrote the word Mr..
and had entered on the somewhat labo-
rious contract Of forming the letter ~"
as the forerunner of the cognomen
James" when the wife again stepped
forward. took the pen which her little
husband was wrestling with out of his
hand, remarking as she did so, Here,
I'll do that" and adding An IS" to her
husbands Mr." wrote in a bold hit-or-

underneath it. in small letters, the
words, land husband"
The clerk then assigned them their
quarters, and as the bell-boy led the
way up stairs. the better half jerksd
the family csrpst-sack off the counter,
and snapped out at her husband in .
tone that made him jump 80 as to dis
locate his collar button, Come along

and AS the bell boy came down stair he
could hear her giving orders in refer
ence to unpacking the baggage in .
tone Of voice that made the harsh notes
of ship captain seem in comparison
like the gentle cooling Of . dove. The
next morning the patient little man fol-
lowed his wife down to breakfast, ate

and afterward; when they came to de.

The Play Ground of the Dead

Late l sat and lonely wanderei,
BY my melancholy led.
Till entered stately Greenwood
Marble city of the dead -
When q strangely geutle feeling,
Stole upon my troubled mind,
And bestowed sense of quiet
That could not elsewhere find.
In the thought that even infants
Sleeping on their mothers breast,
Might have found - upon ear.h's
bosom,
Here still more perfect rest;
Aud l yielded to the dreaming
Of my trouble tortured brain,
That had snstched q momsnt's respite
From its overweight Of pain,
Till it seemed as in the stiffness
There arose q spirit-mirth
From the melancholy hillock
In the monumental earth.
And fancied-as the flowers
Swayed and tossed in pleasant
waves
That the dead had turned to children
And were playing 'mong the graves!
Man returned again to childhood
To its innocence and truth
To the confidence. the courage,
That belongs alone to youth.
While the music Of their laughter
Rose above the summer sod.
Like grateful. joyous power
To the one and holy God;
l returned my footsteps homeward-
That the hard. unlsllowed tread
Might not disturb the echoes
In that play ground of the dead.
Still. my ~ea.ied soul is anxious,
And my burdenc' spirit Graves
To be numbered wi. those happy
Children playing among the graves.

The proper exhibition of parental

most eXhuulted trait OF human character

stages OF progressive development, that
the gray hairs of age will never be
brought down to the grave with sorrow.
What is the choicest gift of the Creator

parental, and tillial love oltshine all
