MR.. BEvEL's HOBBY.

1t was in quaint, old-fashioned quar-.
ter Of London that old Mr.. Bevel lived
He had been Young Mr.. Bevel in his
time, when the quarter was not so quaint
nor the street SO shabby, though even
then the irresistible rcflux of fashion had
begun to set in another direction. But
genfility fingered after fashion was past,
and when Mr.. Bevel installed his bride
IN her new home, the region was sti!l
spoken of as eminently respectable. y
Alas, nobody called it respectable now.
The very fact of residence there implied
certain ignominy--a fact understood
and resented by all the Bowel family ex-
cept its head. Even Mrs. Bevel, who,
when first transplanted thither from her
country surroundings, had looked upon
the London residence as iinspeakable
promotion, regarded it now with con-
temptuous disfavor, which was instigat-
tiers.

Well, when the moon and stars were new,

Into o rather precious emp t.

stake this" that richest king began
To ten his prettiest page, my boy,
And lind the owner as you can.
Follow the wind. wish you toy"
The inscription read: The Happiest Man.
The prettiest page went here and there.
His silken suits did fade with rain,
Sea- uncurled his lovely hair;
He questioned tOrrid stars In vain;
The Cup grew heavier in his care.
At last a dim, weird hut he found;
The ice flashed sharp on every thorn;
Grim shadows crouched in rocks f0riorn;
No blossom breathed for miles around.
Through one low window one low light
Showed two poor graves a step apart;
One pr1soncd safely, out of sight,
boy who broke his mothers heart;
One sheltered her from snow and night.
A man not old, but gray and thin.
Half starved, half frozen, dying slow,
In whose deep eyes the tears had been
Too often-and too long ago
Moaned him welcome from within.
This world that, somehow, seems to be
A wretched place, holds none, know,
50 wretched ON the whole AS he;
Therefore I'll leave my cup and go;''
SO thought the prettiest page, you see.
The stranger sighed: why leave it here?
Go take II to the Happiest Man,
I" Oh, you are he. I'll make it clear"
The prettiest page replied: can,
FOR you are-the most wretched, sir.
Hunger and cold and loneliness,
And something In, x-,,tr l<><xlS

These things Gas have read In books).
Make people happy, sir, guess"
They have not made me happy.
Am made of dust and not OF ink.
Youth, love, and gold enough to buy
Him Dread, the man must have, think,
Whose wine shall flush your Cup. Good bye /"
Back to the richest king, say,
The prcttiest page went sad with doubt
II was the royal wedding day;
soldiers and priests came giittering out.
He stood and watched the fountains play
he He dreamed awake, while many a band
With bridal marches charmed the air;
And still the Cup was in his hand.
The young. sweet queen, who saw It there,
Wondered thereat. l understand.
The prettiest page here hung his head
Aiack, what was my travel worth?

GOODNIGHT, GOODBYE.

Say not good bye, Dear friend, from thee
a word too sad that word wonId be.
Say not good byei Say but good night.
And say It with thy tender, light,
Caressing voice, that links the bliss
of yet another day with this.
Say but good night
Say not good bye Say but good night:
A word that blesses In its flight,
In leaving hope of many kind,
Sweet day like this we leave behind.
say but good night. Oh, never say
A word that taketh thee away!
Say but good might!
Good might!
