"Fiend! monster!" shouted George Bryson,

The upshot was that the wedding didn't
come off, and George Bryson received full
and free pardon of the crime which he had
not committed, while its real author was sent
to serve out-not the unexpired part of
Georges imprisonment, but full term of his
own.

WHEN ALL Is DONE.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down
And the day ant. the night are the same as
one;
The year grows green and the year grows
brown,
And what is it all when all is done?
Grains of somber or shining sand
Sliding into and out OF the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas,
And a hundred ships are the same as one;
And backward and forward blows the breeze,
And what is it all when all is done?
A tide with never a shore in sight
Setting steadily on toward night
The fisherman droppeth his net in the stream
And hundred streams are the same as one
The maiden dreameth her love lit dream,
And what is it all when all is done?
The fishers net the burden breaks,
And after the dreaming the dreamer

Shineth the bill Of the circus;
Dolefully counting his scanty pence,
Less than quarter by nineteen cents,
The small boy drank in the pictured fence,
And said: 81 must take in the circus"
Speeding away with lightsomc feet
Hurrying down the alley,
Into the back lots over the street,
Skulkng and lounging, slow and fleet,
Boys and yet boys in cOnclave meet,
What do they seek in the alley?
What does he want with the great tin PAM
Hiding it under the wOod-shed;)
No one knows how many blocks he ran,
Scudding as only the bad boys can,
As though he were under some awful ban,
Some daring crime Of blood-shed,
What could he do with that great tin Pan,
Now he had gone and got It?
Will he unfold his dcep-laid plan?
Never; his secret you may not scan;
He even lies to the old junk man,
And tells him, pon honor, he bought it.
Something is wrong with the kitchen pump;
What has got into the sucker?
Jerk till the arms ache, thum (, ,thump, ,thump
Eight feet of pipe in single lump
Gone to the junk-shop, hardly stump
Left to amuse the sucker.

''This is the secret OF which men pray,
This is the art of the alchemist, yea, :

Parlsian Millinery,

Galiqaunts Messenger, in its review of
fashions for the first fortnight in April,
says: The Javotte, Niniche, Juanita and
Ingenue are the successful bonnet and hat
shapes of the present moment. The first
named is made of Leghorn, and is kind
of campeline with large full blown roses
wreathing round the crown, and very
thin silk in the moss shades. The Mini
che is too we'll known to need any de-
scription; and the only alteration that
this popular shape has undergone is that
the crown is somewhat higher and
adorned in front with thick cluster of
of roscbuds, or other compact nosegay.
faconne ribbon is used for large bows.
The Juanita is the cavalierahat with brim
lined and generally this lining is gold
braid, while handsome bird rises on one
side, and plain rich crimson ribbon
turns down the front. The Ingenue
requires to be worn on youthful head.
1t is First Empire shape, of not very
graceful proportions when in the hand,
and its chief ornament is only dang ling
rose on long rubber tube, somewhat
over the left ear. An old fashioned look
ing ribbon crosses it above the crown,
and the strings, when tied, throw this
shape back, in order to reveal fiat hair
bandeaux under the front brim. Garden
hats are mostly Tuscan or chip.
When of Italian straw they are not
trimmed with ribbon but worked
round the crown, and on one side of
the crown with floral designs executed ia
colored Berlin woods or crewel. Coarse
| ~ hats
nearly all Niniche shape. A large variety
of colored chips are seen, and straws in
the fashionable shades. In the millinery
department are several novelties, first
soft twilled satin employed for trimming
it is cut en- biais, and used for the facing
of round hats. Pekin gauze is the newest
soft and transparent tissue. 1t is much
used for soft crowned capotes, and has 9
rich glow. In the tan, beige, claret
bronze, and tete- de-negre colors it is
light and teathery. Flowers will be worn
large, and ribbons much wider. Blue
and red are conspicuous in the lattel
department; but there are cashmere rib
bons of great beauty, also streaked in two
contrasting hues; and open-worked witt
brocade floral designs. A rich ribbon il
faille or cord on one side and twilled satir
on the other. All the new mixed materials
half wool and half silk, half wool and
half cotton, show ill defined squares
checks, shaded streaks, sable grounds
bird's-eye dots, and other minute designs
which are scarcely perceptible. They ar,
intended to make up with PLAIN cashmere
twilled foulard, crepon de l'Inac, ant
other fabrics. Pekins are the grea
feature; MORE pekins are stripes o
watered silk with satin or velvet alternat
ing. Pekin de laine are bright woolel
stripes on mousseline-de laine ground
Pompadour are alternate stripes Of broch
or chine flowers with satin between, AM

SIT seems odd that you have taken

young lady's mother from the seat by the

HOME.

'Tis whispered in the ear of God,
'Tis murmured through our tears;
IT'S linked with happy childhood days,
And blessed in ripper years.
That hallowed word is ne'er forgot,
No matter where we roam,
The purest feelings of the heart
Still cluster round our home.
Dear resting place, where weary thought
May dream away it's care,
Loves gentle star unvails her light,
And shines in beauty there.

The Plague.

The outbreak ofthe plague in Russia seems
TO have caused not little alarm through
out Europe. While the pestilence is not a
visitor to be treated lightly, there is, new
ertheless, nothing as yet to cause panic.
1t is true Europe has not been infected with
the plague for nearly half a century, and
the temperance Of such fatal disease
is always to be dreaded. But, on the
other hand, the place where it now exists
is barely on this side of the Asiatic border,
and for many years past it has appeared
in Asia and Persia. 1t must also be remem-
bered that the plague is filth disease"
and that there is scarcely another place in
Europe where it could, even if unchecked,
make SO great havoc as in Russia. The
district to which it is now confined is the
low-lying lands along the lower Volga, in
the government of Saratoff,-a country
not in close commercial relations with the
rest of the world. 1t broke out first
among the soldiers returned from the ar
mics in Turkey, and was at first treated
as typhus. But the dreadful mortality
caused by it and the virulence of its spread
have led to a re-examination of the cases,
and to the recognition Of it as the plague
The failure to identify the malady at the
outset is circumstance not now observed
for the first time. One of the. peculiar
symptoms of the disease is an eruption,
which does not appear for some days after
the fever shows itself The severest out
breaks of the disease as an epidemic have
been most fatal at the start, and many pa
tients die, sometimes in twelve hours, be-
