A Reading Lesson.
They sat in dusky corner.
Turning the leaves of book,
Ger each picture fair,
Or legend there,
Bending with eager look.
She was modest maiden,
And he was timid youth:
And the volume they view
TOgether-those two
Is a bit of fiction, forsooth.
And there wasn't as pretty picture
In all the book, I'll engage,
As the one that leaned
By the twilight screened
Well over the printed page.
His tresses with hers so blending
They turned to lighter shade;
While the cheek Of the youth
Was in very truth
As red as the cheek of the maid.
The shadows began to deepen,
The printed page was blur;
Yet he did not close
The book, nor propose
A change of employment to her.!
But as in their eager reading
Their hands together had met,
In the same warm clasp.
More than friendly grasp,
They fingered and fingered yet.
Nor needed they for moment
In each other face to look;
For the secret guessed
Was at once confessed,
And each heart was an open book!

was loudly cheered by the mob. Another

police have found the metal cover of the
box in which the dynamite used to blow
MP the dining hall floor was originally con-
tanned.

LONDON, Feb. 2l.-A little solicitude and
much amusement wass created after the
close of last nights session of the House
by a challenge from an Irish to an English
member to fight duel during debate in
the House on the Irish question. The latter
uttered words at which the former took
offense and when the parties subsequently
met in the Library of the House, high
words passed between them, resulting in a
formal challenge, which has been duly &C.
cepted. 1t is rumored that the meeting
will take place at Bologne but in political
circles the emeute is laughed at, and
wagers are offered without takers that the
affair will never come of.
