PAPA's LETTER.

ssPiesse. dear mamma, Mary told me
Mamma mustn't be lsturbed:
aBut Use tired of the kitty
Want some Ozzer ing 10 do.
Writing letters, is 'ou, mammal
Tan't write a letter tOO?n
'sNot now. darling; mammals busy;
Run and play with kitty now.n
NO, no, mamma; me write letter
Tan IL you will show me how"
I would paint my darling's portrait
As his sweet eyes search my face;
Hair OF gold and eyes OF azure,
Form OF childish, winning grace.
But the eager face was clouded
As ] slowly shook my head,
TIL | said, "I'll make letter
Ofyou, darling boy, instead"
So parted back the iresses
From his forehead high and white,
And a stamp in sport pasted
Mid the waves Of golden light.
Then I said, "Now. little letter,
Go away and bear good news"
And ! smiled as down the staircase
Clattered loud the little shoes
Leaving me, the darling hurried
Down % Mary in his glee;
"Mamma's writing lots OF letters
Use letter, Mary, see"
No one heard the little prattler
As once more he climbed the starr,
Reached his little cap and tippet,
Standing on the entry stair.
No one heard the front door open,
No one saw the golden hair,
A. 10 doated O'er mis- shoulders
In the crisp October air.
Down the street the baby hastened
Till he reached the Office door:
"Ise a letter, Mr.. Postman;
Is dere room for any more
s'Tause this letter doin' 20 papa;
Papa lives wiz bod, 'ou know
Mamma sent me for letter
Does 'ou fink 'at can 60 :
But the clerk in wonder answered,
Not to-day. my little man."
"Den I'll nud an Ozzer Office,
Tause I must do II TAM"
Fain the clerk would have detained him
But the pleading face was gone,
Aud the little feet were Fastening
BY the busy crowd swift on.
suddenly the crowd was parted;
People fed TO len and right,
As pair Of maddened horses
AT the moment dashed in sight
No one saw the baby figure,
No one saw the golden hair,
TIL voice Of frightened sweetness
Rang out in the open air.
Twas too late; moment only
Stood the beauteOus vision there;
Then The little face lay liieless,
Covered DER with golden hair.
Reverently they raised my darling,
Brushed away the curls OF gold,
Saw the stamp upon the forehead,
Growing now so icy cold.
Not a mark the face dishgured,
showing where the hoof had trOd;
But the liule life VS. ended

LIFE IN SAN FRANCIsCo.-Mrs.- Ada
c. Bowles, writing of San Francisco,
her new home, says:
l have called San Francisco the "City
Of Rooms" as compared to Philadel
phia, the City Of Homes; a term you
would think justified could you but see
the large proportion OF houses with bills
in the windows Of FURNISHED Rooms to
Let" Many causes exist no doubt for
this state Of things, such as high rents,
high wages of servants, and a change

her Of unmarried men and women, away
/ from distant homes in search Of fortunes
or health. But above all the other
causes I believe risks in stock-gambliDg
the indulgence IN which costs many a
man his home, or the savings which
would give him one. Houses can be
built here so cheaply, demanding no
cellar, no buryiDg Of water aud drain
pipes below frost lines; no thick walls
and strong roofs to bear heavy SHOWS,
that industry and economy would soon
give every man his own home and fire.

A LIE STICKs.-A little newsboy, to
sell his paper, told a lie. The matter
came up in Sunday achOol.
"Would you tell a lie for penny ?'
asked the teacher Of one OF her boys.
"No, ma am, ,nanswered Dick very de-
cidedly.
"For sixpence ?''
"NO, ma'am."
"For a shilling ?"
"NO, ma'am."
'tFOr a thousand shillings ?n
Dick was staggered. a thousand
shillings looked big. Oh, would it not
buy lots Of things2 While he was think
ing another boy called out behind him,
"No, ma'am."
"Why not ?" asked the teacher.
"Because, when the thousand shil-
lings are all gone. and all the things
they've got with them are gone too, the
lie is there all the same" answered the
boy.
Il is so. A lie sticks. Everything

OF the times, thanks TO the enterprise of the
publishers and the tact and wisdom of its edi-

in the literature OF travel, discovery, and fic-

"Harper's Magazine" just as eXpectanty as
did the reader Of a quarter or century ago;

From the recent able speech of ,Senator

Every department of our government.
every representative of the sovereignty of
the people, is in the hands of a party:
every element of power is 10 the hands of
party; ever office and honor and emolu-
ment is the price of party success. 1t is
madness, 1t is crime, to oonfde to party
the power OF bringing troops to the polls
where its fate is to be decided"
This is clear and convincing setting
forth OF the Democratic position in regard
to the employment Of the army at cleo.

ballot-box, under popular form of gov

desperate and INSCRIPTIONS party deter.

majority in the new parliament by such

would not endure a day.
This Is not party question, bnt a ma

really the case in this country; if, as Re-

the republic has virtually ceased to exist
and we may as we'll be looking about for a
