THAT FLY.PAPER.

Now is the season when the
druggist hangs dozen sheets of
sticky fy-paper in the windows to
show the folly Of investing in
mosquito-bars. The said sheets
are covered with flies, dead and dy-
ing, sometimes artistically ar
ranged, and sometimes dropped
on in reckless though captiva-
ting manner. There is no sham
about this paper. It will catch
any fly who takes a sheet OF it
for skating park, and it will hold
him long enough for you to run
to the wood-pile and bring the
axe and knock him in the head.
The only trouble is to work up
the fly. He sometimes knows his
business, and you can't beat it in
to his noddle that a sheet Of this
paper represents cool and grassy
valley into which he is privileged
to meander in search Of Jumps Of
white sugar. He will sit on the
edge Of the window-sill and won
der and think, and kick out his
legs in the sunshine, and if you
think be has got so hard up that
he must come down to molasses
and pulp, you keep right on try
ing. Visions Of the thousands Of
flies captured at the drug store
"since Monday noon" will rise up
before you, but only to make you
gmore down-hearted. Ifyou spread
out ten sheets on the chairs and
table and floor, you run more
chances Of catching a fly than
with one. Any arithmetic will
tell you this. It may be an hour
or two before some reckless old
reprobate of a fly will start out to
see what you have been doing.
Back into a corner and don't
breathe while be is making for
the table. He may light down.
Flies have their tired moments
the same as three-year-old steers.
He will slide to the east-then
north by east-tben wheel to the
west and look around to see if
anybody has q broom trained on
him. Give him time. II the mo-
lasses is up to his grade he will
find it sooner or later. When be
finally slides up to the paper you
can bet you've got him. Taking
hold of the table with his legs he
will reach his head out, nibble a
little, smack his lips, and then
make dive for the center Of the
sheet, calculating to fly off with it
to his knot-hole in the ceiling 1t
you have tackled the sheet down,
you've got a fly. Ifyou haven't,
away goes cent. You may catch
a second fly before the summer is
gone, but if you are impatient and
want to make q show, you must
order your dead flies by the box
from New York, spread out your
paper in quiet place, and put
'em on with the machine used by
all respectable druggists.

THE FOND FATHER.

A tender Chicago father had
with much soIcitude observed the
falling health Of his only daughter.
All through the summer she had
received, with his full approvaland
with apparently warm recipro-
cal feeling, the visits of a young
man of most estimable character
and of fair prospects. Him she
accompanied nightly to the front
door, and even to the gate-a pro-
ceeding which her fond father re.
garded with some anxiety as the
raw evenings Of autumnscame on, :
and he noticed his dear daughters
shortened breath and hectic color.
The other evening be called her
into the parlor-she had been
absent for three days upon visit
to her Aunt Samantha = and,
throwing wide the folding doors,
clasped her TO his heart in fond
emotion, as be said: "See, Su-
sanna Julietta; see, and never
think that your poor old father
doesn't think about you and care
for your comfort" There the as
tonished girl beheld, swinging in
the recess, between the two rooms,
a perfect model of their front gate,
with several long pickets and six
short ones, and nickel plated
latch. The artist, in his devotion
to nature, had even retained the
thumb marks near the handle m
the original, and the Impressions
on the lower bar worn by the
cherished daughters dear little
boots. Art, too, had improved
upon nature, for tie gate, which
swung upon noiseless hinges, had
at the top a shelf, just one Kiss
broad, furnished with Students
lamp and a box of caramels ; for
the feet the lower bar vas softly
padded and warmed by hot air
pipe connecting with the furnace,
and two spring chairs were fast
ened, one on either side. "Thar," :"
said the fond father, while his
eyes filled with happy tears.
"Thar, ye can swing and kiss all
night long, and never catch a
breath of cold" The good old
man had had the gate surrounded
with evergreens, and had laid a
plank walk on the young mans
side, to increase the naturalness
of the scene, while at considerable
expense be had had a street lamp
hung in the alcove above, which
was--rare thoughtfulness-
lighted. "Now, Susanna Julietta,
said he, "that ERE ought to be as
good as life. But if you don't
think so-for your poor old father
won't begrudge you nothin'-lll
come round every quarter'n hour
or so and yell out, Susanna Ju-
lietta, come inter the house afore
you get your death O. cold;;' and I
know your little brother thinks
nuff O. ye to play he's a street
Arab, and cry 'Ain't them sweet
nesses p" 20 father! father pa
cried the girl, as she flung herself
into his arms, 20 father. you are
so good and it is all so nice; and,
yet, o father! it isn't like the
original article at ALL"

I'D like to know if that mans

Susan to the old brindle COW that
night, as she drove her up from
pasture. i should s'pose he'd
feel it his duty to visit other
folks. Std O. that he's a-seltin'
round here, an Aunt Hester an
he's a-talkin' the whole endurin'
time, an he aiut said a word
about any Of them things all the
other ministers used to, as I've
heard.'
But old brindle didn't seem to
be able to enlighten Susan on any
point, and that young person
went to bed feeling that ministers
weren't what they used to be.
The minister and Miss Payne
sat and talked quietly in the still
twilight. He told all about his
lite since she had known him 10
years ago, and how the change
had come into it which transform
ed him into a minister. And then
there fell a little silence about
them which neither broke for
long time. By and by he spoke.
I don't know why l came here
first, Hester. | suppose l ought
to have gone to sawyer's, but 1
couldn't get by here. From the
time l knew I was going to be
stationed over this part I've been
thinking of you and longing to
talk over old times with you
as | have done to-day. And
some way it seemed to me as
if God had plan to carry out in
stationing me over here. l don't
know what you think about it,
Hester, but l believe [ could do
better work in the world if you
would help me. We've been
parted for a good many years, but
I've never loved any one else and
l never shall and it seemed to
me to-day that I took up life just
where we left it Is years ago-in
this old kitchen. I've always
blamed myself for what happened
afterwards, and I want to confess
it to you now whether you
think as I do about what | have
told you or whether you don't
NO, John, l was the one to

myself that this morning, not half
an hour before you came. saw

asked, tenderly. We're old enough
to know ourselves better than we
did then. Can you help me in my
l1fe-work without regret for what
you must give up?'
L will help you p she cried, her
whole face aglow. 4 shall give
up nothing but loneliness, and l
shall gain-youP
What speech to make to a
minister!
If Susan could have heard it
she would have become an imme-
diate convert to the theory of to-
tai depravity. And 10 come from

EsE "A WOMAN.
Oft I've heard a gentle mother,
AS the twilight hours began,
Pleading with son on duty,
Urging him to be man;
But unto her blue-eyel daughter,
Though with loves words quito as ready
Points she out the other duty
"Striye, my dear, to be a lady,
What's lady? Is it something
Made Of hoops and silks and airs,
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rings and chairs?
Is it one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human?
If Ills this to be lady,
IT'S not this to be woman.
Mother, then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far
THAI to be mere fashions lady
"Woman" is the brightest star.
If you, in your strong affection,
Urge your son to be true man,
Urge your daughter no less strongly
To arise and be woman.
Yes, woman! brightest model
Of that high and perfect beauty,
Where the mind and soul and body
Blend to work out life's great duty,
Be woman! Naught is higher
On the gilded crest Of time;
On the catalogue Of virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
