The Death Rose.

Two lovers, Willie and Hattie, scarce
past the days of girl and boybood
stlolled hand-n-hand from their native
village, one evening in the month o
roses, aud paused before ticket grow
ing wild by the roadside, and covered
over with fragrant flowers.
"See !" said the young man, as he
drew the fair girl nearer to his side
{. hess flowers blossom in our path for
us, and for us alone. Hattie" he added,
seriously, "we have known each other
in all our lives, and have been fond OF
each ot her in a childish way till now.
Now it means more-on my side, at
least. Do you love me best of all,
my Hattie, as love you? And when
| come home from sea shall come to
my own dear little promised wife ?"
With rosy blush she fes his arm
steal about her waist, and laid her
head down on his shoulder, as she
whispered and then he gathered two
roses from bush which he chose for
their own. One he gave to her, the
other he kept himself.
The ro.ebush is enchanted now, my
Hattie, fol- you and for me, he said
with tender smile, =" and you must
come here and see how its flowers bloom
when am away.
Then he led her away toward her own
home, to ask The blessing of their par
ents upon the betrothal.
He joined his ship the next day, and
sailed tor the southern main. He was on
board man-otwar. Six months, a
year, went by, and all was we'll. A let
Ter came one day from Willie. saying
that after al late engagement he had
been promoted for gallantry ; that he
was soon to have turlough, and return
home, with any quantity of prize money
in his purse.
"And the day after | land must be our
wedding day, my Hattie" SO the letter
closed. 81 can support a wife now as
| could wish to do, and we will spend
my leave of absence iogeatber in hon
eymoon trip to France. Go and tell the
roses that say so, nay dearest, and may
God bless and protect you now and for
evermore.
With this letter resting on her happy
heart, Hattie set off to s'tell the roses :"
AMI to dream about her lover beneath
the perfumed shade.
AS she entered the glade where the
thicket of roses grew, she herad heavy
sigh, and the next inst ant the fall of wa
ter was in her ears, and over all the
loud voices OF men. the clash of SWORDS,
and the crash vi guns, pistols and cans
uons. Only an instant The terrific noise
lasted. Then came another sigh.
"Oh my Hattie" said voice beside
her.
1t was Willie's voice, and withered
rose dropped at her feet. She had one
treasured up at home; but VIXEN she
stopped to lift the faded token from the
ground, There was nothing to be sean.
Pale and rea,hless, she ran toward
rose hicket. 1t was early in season, and
this was her first visit to the place. The
twin roses had not blossomsd, but hung
dying on their stalks.
How she arrived home the poor girl
never knew. But sailor stood at the
gate as she entered, and her mother came
out to meet her, and took her in, with a
plying, tender air. They had bad hews
from sea, brought by one of the returned
sailors of the .'Flying Cloud"
Willie was dead. "Killed at the post
Of duty" said the officers report. And
this was what she had to tell the rosss,"
As they bloomed aud blossomed above
the sailors grave.

A San Francisco School-Boy Who Turns
Out to be a Girl OF Twenty.


One morning about three weeks ago an
ordinary looking boy, apparently sixteen
Years OF age, entered the office OF Profess
Sor Wilson. principal Of the Lincoln BOYS

orphan and had come from st. Louis

papers in the morning before school ana
in the evening after school to pay for
lodging and food, and if Professor Wilson
would let him attend the school he would
be "Oh, so glad" The professor became
Interested. gave the boy a blank for
books ana ushered him into the fourth
grade, where Mrs. James presides. Mrs
James received the yOungster kindly and
reported from day to day that he was
getting along nicely Edwin Stanton was
the name that he had given. II was no
ticed that Edwin kept aloof from the
other bows, but Mrs James thought that
bis backWardness doubtless grew from a
Jealous application to his books And
Edwin did study studied hard. Never
theless, Mrs. James could not get rid Of
the idea that there was something wrong.
Nor could Professor Wilson. Last Mon
day some of the lady teachers in the other
departments were requested to watch
Edwin. They did 50 and every one gave
it as their opinion that Edwin was girl
in disguise. Professor Wilson called the
strange pupil to him on Monday afternoon,

tried to reason her case with her, but she
soon became stolid, admitting two things
only-that She was twenty years of age,
and that she had nearly died from stary
alton because she was born girl instead
OF Il boy and could not get an honorable
living as boys could. She said that she
meant to keep her male attire and wear
it always, and so saying bid them good
bye and rushed out into the street.
