THE BRIDAL VAIL.
A STORY OF LOVE coNQuEE1Na.

A pretty, dark-eyed girl began to
work it, whose lover was over the sea.
She was French girl, and came of =
family of lacemakers., sgsf.; ...s.44
"IlI work my own bridal vail, In my
leisure time" she said. $50, when
Walter comes to marry me shall be q
gay bride." But she never finished the
vail. Walter came too soon. She mar
ried her English lover-as poor as her.
self-and went with him to London;
and the half finished bridal vail went
along, carefully folded away at the
bottom of q trunk, and for the time
being quite forgotten. j. assl III ..of. !.
1t may have been forgotten in earnest
during twelve years, for aught I know
certainly it lay that long unnoticed.
A lovely little ten-year old girl was the
fairy that broke its long sleep at last.
She had dark eyes, like the little peasent
Of twelve years ago, but Walters goldon
hair.
osOb, the charming lacelv she cried,
clapping her hands and dancing delight

"Dear mamma, what is it? And who
made it? And why is it but half done?
Can have it fora dress for my doll.

The pretty dark.eyed matroD laughed
and shook her head and half sighedas
she pressed the delicate fabric to her lips.
Then she told her child the history OF

from the light again. !" she said tenderiy.
will finish it, and when the time comes
for my little Adele to be a bride, she
will have vail to be proud Of"
Again the little taper fingers toiled
merrily and busiiy over the delicate lace,
and fairy like ferns and masses of grace
ful flowers grew steadily under them.
Adele watched the progress of the WORK
with keenest interest.
Mamma, teach me to work it" she
said one day. "My fingers are much H.
ner and timer than yours"
After that she would bring her little
work basket to her mothers side ana
work at vail for her doll. The facili.
ty with which she learned the graceful
art was astonishing. AT the age Of hf,
teen, SO expert was she that Elise dld
not fear to lst her take part in the crea-

worked at it now, and then as the fancy

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

Virtue is the safest helmet-the most
secure defense. risr.s 81 qlalsf
No bank can shield US from the i'm
partially of death.
The power of eloquence is sometimes
superior to military force.
1t is the power of the meanest to tri
umph over fallen greatness.
He who refuses justice to the defense
less will make every concession to the
powerful. fe
Preserve the privacy of your house,
marriage state. and heart, from relatives
and all the world. sf
There is only one thing that is more
terrible than to say a mean thing, and
that is to do one.
It is all very we'll to be a promising
youth, but the hard part is to keep your
promise in after life. III
Don't confide your secrets to a person
OF noble lineage, because the old adage
says that Blood will tell.'' -
You may safely commit the child's
clothes to the servant, but the rest of the
little one you had better take care of
yourself Ai'-" va #it
We, take lessons in art, literature-a
thousand things; but that high sense of
honor, mans obligation to man, is for

stays, and by aud by he will co ne to

When you can say of man that his
religion has got hold Of his pocket book,
you may be reasonably sure that his re.
ligiOn is the right kind.
Two little Brooklyn girls mistook q
sneak thief for Santa Claus. Their
mother put them to bed early Christmas
eve, and went out to buy, the things,
leaving the hall door open in a hurry.
Sneaky came in, tipped about the house
IN the dark, stealing whatever was
handy, and took the children's stockings
down from where they were hanging,
carrying off these and several other ar
ticles of their clothing. Thinking, OF
course, that it was Santa Claus, the
wide awake children held their breAths
with delight, and pretended. to be
asleep, thinking that he wouldn't give
them anything If he saw them watch

There came to the beach poor exile Of Erin,
The dew on his thin robe was heavy and
chill; a - %tAa fi5e i45
For his country he sighed, when at twilight re-
To wander alone by the wind-beasen hill, ]
But the day star attracted his eyes sad devo-
tion, as4ia ts4Sii..5A iti II 2
For IT rose o,erhis own native isle of the ocean.
Where once, in the fire of his youthful emotion,
He sang the bold anthem of Erin Go Bragh.
Sad is my fate! said the heart broken stranger;
The wild deer and wolf to her covert can nee,
But have no refuge from famine and danger,
A home and country remain not to me.
Never again in the green sunny bowers
Where my forefathers lived, shall I spend the
sweet hours, foJaeI s.ir4-s
Or cover my harp with the wild woven flowers,
| And strike to the numbers OF Erin Go Bragh.
Erin. my country though sad and forsaken,
In dreams revisit thy sea-beaten shore;
But. alas! in far foreign land I awaken,
And sigh for the friends who can meet me 10
Oh cruel fate wilt thou never replace me
In u mansion of peace, where no perils can
chase me?
Never again shall my brothers embrace me7
They died to defend me, or live to deplore!
Where is my cabin door, fast by the wild wood
Sisters and sire did ye weep for its fall?
Where Is the mother that looked on my child
hood?
And where is the bosom friend dearer than
all? & iL = leo-5l +-iJ i
Oh. my sad heart! long abandoned by pleasure,
Why did it dote on fast-fading treasure?
Tears, like the rain drop, may fall without

| But rapture and beauty they cannot recall.
Yet, all Its sad recollections suppressing, II.
| One dying wish my lone bosom can draw.
Erin, an exile bequeaths thee his blessing!
| Land Of my forefathers, Erin Go Bragh!
Buried and cold, when my heart stills her mo-

And thy harp-striking bards sing aloud with

II is interesting and to many people j,
may be profitable, TO know the comparative
value Of different kinds Of wood for fuel.
Shellbark hickory is regarded as the highes,
standard Of our fores, trees. and. calling
that 100. other trees viii compare with it
for real value as fuel for house purposes. as
follows: Shellbark hickory, 100; pignu
hickory. s2 whits oak, 81; white ash. - 4:
dogwood, 10; scrub oak. 73; white hazel.
y; appletree. 20; red oak, 81; white beech

Wild cherry, IS yellow pine. 81; chesnu,,
So; yellow poplar. so; bu,ternut and white
birch, 49,; white pine, 40. II is worth
bearing in mind that in wood Of the same
species there is a great difference. according
to the soil in which they grow. A
tree that grows on a wet, low, rich ground
will be less solid and less durable for fuel.
and therefore Of less value than a tree of the
same kind that grows on a dry and poor
soil. To the ordinary purchaser, oak is
oak and pine is pine, but for house use the
tree grown on dry upland, and standing
apart from all others, is worth great deal
more.
