A Sabbath Morn in the Country.

How still the morn Of the hallowed day?
Mute is the voice OF rural labor, hushed
The plowboy's whistle and the milkmaid's
song,
And the wish is general that they might stay
hushed.
The scytne lies glittering in the dewy wreath
OF tedded grass, with faded flowers,
That yestermorn doomed waving in the
breeze;
And when the old man comes along
And finds it there he will startle the quiet
OF the hallowed day with shouts and roars
And takings on of one kind and another
That will make hired man sink into his
boots.
Sounds Of the most faint attract the ear-the
Of early bee looking for some one to sting,
The trickling of the (mountain) dew, glug,
glug,
Glug, gluggerty, gluggerty, glug, glug!
The distant bleating, midway up the HILL
OF the heartbroken goat Wien he first dis
covers
That he can not climb tree!
To him that wanders DER the upland leas,
With his shot.gu on his shoulder,
The black birds note comes mellower from
the dale,
And sweeter from the sky the gladstone lark
Marbles his heay' n-tuned song; the lulling
brook
Murmurs more gently down the deep-worn
glen,
While from yon roof whose curling smoke
Oermounts the mist, is heard, at intervals,
The voice of psalms, the simple song of
And the hired girl swearing at the cook stove!

Says correspondent of the Albany

he expects pay for; even as low as half
cent is gratefully received larger sums in
proportion. You pay for everything you
get; your coffee, sugar, milk, all separate.
Every item is spread out with the most
minute care, and when it is time to pay
your bill you wonder at the string, but as
figures camille, of course you must hand
over; Order lemonade, wine, or any
drink-the French drink everything hot;
an American can't. Well. you order ice.
In your bill will be three items: First.
your glass; second, your drink: third,
your ice. Wonder that they don't charge

Royal Courage.

A story Of the attempt on the Life of
King George III. is worthy to be remem-
bered. On May 18th, 1900, the English
Ministers received notice that an attempt
would be made to assassinate the king,
and advised him not to go to Drury Lane
George III. replied that he feared moth
ing. On arriving, he too6 care to enter
his box, and as he did SO a pistol-shot
was heard, and a bullet lodged in the
c2i)ing. He turned and said to the queen,
who was behind him:
"Stand back for moment they are
burning some cartridges.
He then advanced to the front of the
box, and folding his arms, called out:
'Now you may fire if you like"
An appeal to the sentiment and admi-
ration Of a crowd always produces it's effect.
The audience rose to their feet like sin
gle man, and raised loud acclamations.
After this he allowed his family to enter
the box, saying:
CHOW there is no DANGER
Three times sGod Save the King. was
sung, and Sheriden, who was present,
added two new verses. When the king
was complimented on his courage, he re.
piled:
"The life of a king is at the mercy of
any one who is willing to expose his own.

Speak Gently.

A loud boisterous tone shows want
of good breeding. The first principle of
politeness is to make those about you feel
pleasant, and rude coarse manner of
speaking is annoying to most persons. A
good ancedote is related of man, who
went by the name of "Whispering john .
which was given to him in ridicule.
People said he talked as though he were
brought up in a mill. One cold morning
he walked into public house, and called
out in his laundering voice:
"Good morning, landlord, how are
you?"
VERY well, how are yous'
"Oh, 1 am we'll, but Pm so cold, I can
hardly talk"
Just then nervous traveller who was
present, ran up to the landlord, exclaim-
ing: "Please have my horse brought as
soon as possible"
"Why, what is the matterg" asked the
landlord.
Nothing replied the traveller, 'sonly
| want to get away before that man
th0aps."

Just as advanced I heard two shots
fired almost simultaneously, and bullet
shaved past my head I clappcd nv
hand to my left ear. Heaven, the lobe
was shot away. Another inch, and I
should have been killed.
Rather narrow shave. that said
one OF the troopers, coming forward. Il
just saw the fellow drawing a bead on
you when dropped him.
81 went forward, and found the victory
had been ours. Three of the rangers had
been shot down, one of them Wrapping
Bill. Two were wounded. and lay on the
ground, whilst one had escaped. Judge
Lynch soon settled the two prisoners.
I'VE recovered all our gold, and made
preparations for our return. We gave
the dead a hasty burial, easing them, of
course, of all valuables, etc. I found
pocket-book on the body Of my would be
slayer, and from it I CLEANED full ac-
count of the gang. From information
therein contained, Sandy and I, some
weeks later, made little expedition of
Our own to place in the brush, where
we found quite collection of nuggets
aad dust-the result Of many months of
a bush-ranger's life. As it was impossible
to restore the treasure to its lawful own
ers, we were obliged to keep it. We re-
turned to the camp; and, in consideration
OF our successful efforts, we received
share of the gold. Some months later
left the diggings, and returned home,
married Mary, and settled down here. |
ought to add that gave the trooper who
SO bravelyssayed my life an old silver ring
to wear for my sake. I have never seen
him since; but if ever do, he shall be
welcomed as king. Such, gentlemen, is
the story of the Lucky Shot"
The hearty thanks of the company were
voted to Mr.. White for his story, and the
company drank the troopers health.
'You never saw him after?' I asked
Mr.. White.
"Never, sir.''
could you recognize him if you were
to see him?" asked.
Cant say; he may have altered consid-
erably: but I should recognize the ring
Immediately"
Then is that it?" said I, putting out
my right hand, on the little finger OF
which was the identical ring.

Fashions for Feminine Feet !.

Paris Correspondence San Francisco Bulletin,
The low and sandal slipper is much
worn by ladies here, and the display of
ankles is one of the most attractive fea-
lures OF the Exposition. Heels are still
high and often glittering with brass tips.
There is great variety of design in foot
wear. 1t varies from mere sole with
barely two inches of toe-covering to the
delicate boot, buttoning far up in the
clouds-of lace. Colors are also variega-
TED as form. There are black, bronze,
lavender, white and pale yellow. Can
vass slippers banded with leather are
much worn. Stockings no longer hide
their light under bushels. But we see also
the striped stocking anaza barber-pole;
the perpendicular striped stocking, black
and white; the stocking with a brilliant
boquet interviewer above the ankle; the
acknowledged stocking. As fashion
prevails at present, the female foot has
become the rival of her head, and male
dilema is whether to look down or up.
With this development of style, all form
er sensisiveness as to the display of the
walking anatomy seems to have deserted
the female heart, and now as they recline
on chairs and benches about the grounds
young women who wear costly stockings
and slippers do not waste their
sweetness under dimity. The sand
and gravel Of the walks on the grounds
is of most aggravating and troublesome
character for low shoes, and it is not I'M
common to see ladies retiring into cor
ners, where hasty removal of delicate
triumph of the shoe-makers art shows
that some little ''grabbel stones" have in
truded themselves in tender quarters, as
the Dutchman remarked when he
poured the shutters out of his boot, after
working in the field all day.
