any excess.
A large and heavy cross, of exquisite work

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF
FIRE.

The loose garments worn by
women and children expose them
to special danger from fire. If
the fire starts from the bottom Of
the dress, the ratural upward ten
dency Of the fame soon envelops
the whole person, unless by sell
control and presence Of mind the
necessary care be taken by the
sufferer, or some one near, with
out a moments hesitation. To
obey the first impulse and open
the doors and rush out is sure de-
struction. The only safety is to
fall down Instantly on the floor,
and roll over on to the fire snatch
ing a woolen shawl Or rug, if near,
to wrap round the body. One is
comparatively safe by rolling over
and over, for the flames will not
rise to the face, and the lungs and
breathing will be less likely to be
injured. Those who may be in
the room, or may come in: have
their work plainly before them.
Keep doors and windows closed !;
snatch the first wooden thing to
be tound-a table cover-without
thinking Of the work OF art on it.
Pull it off! Who cares wherc the
brio -brac rolls to? 1t is Il hu-
man life IN danger. Or snatch a
woolen shawl from q chair, q cur
tain or rug anything-that one
human form is more valuable.
Wrap the sufferer instantly into
something that is woo!cn-the
coat from your back, if nothing
else ofers-and thus closely wrap
ped roll her On the floor in the
folds. Scores of lives have been
saved in this way, or lost for want
of such immediate action. In
case the house is on fire there
there should be ons 'captain,' if
possible, who can lead the less
self possessed out Of the burning
building. Every door, and Win
dow or aperture through which
air can find entrance should be
closely shut except during egress.
There are always eight Or ten
inches Of pure air close to the
floor, and if one cannot walk erect
through the smoke be should as
soon as enveloped in some WOODEN
article, drop on the floor on the
hands and knees and crawl out.
A silk handkerchief or piece OF
flannel or woolen stocking, wet
and put over the face, will enable
one 10 breathe in dense smoke.

ONLY A WOMAN.

Only woman, shriveled and Old!
The plav of the winds and the prey Of the
cold!
Checks that are ShruLken,
Eyes that are Sunken,
Lips that were never DER bold.
Only woman forsaken and poor,
Asking an aims at the bronze church door.
Hark to the organ! roll upon roll
The waves of the music go over her soul!
Silks rustic past her
Thicker and faster;
The great bell ceases its toll,
Fain would she enter, but not for the poor
Swingeth wide open the bronze church door.
Only woman-waiIing alone,
lcily cold, on an ice-cold throne,
What do they care for her?
Mumbling prayer for her,
Giving not bread, but stone.
Under old laccs their haugh " hearts beat,
Mocking the woes of their kin in the street.
Only woman! In the old days
Hope caroled to her her happiest lays;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her,
Somebody crowned her with praise;
Somebody faced up the battles of life
Strong for her sake who was mother, or wife.
Somebody lies with tress of her hair
Light on his heart where the death-shadows
are;
Somebody waits for her,
Opening the gates for her,
Giving delight for despair.
Only woman-Derermore poor.

gsIseten Story.
A Controversy With Cupid.

Little wretch! I hate him.
We have never had a moments
peace since be took possession Of
the house, declared Polly Patten,
with q stamp of her foot.
The he referred to was not, as
might be supposed, a tramp or a
sherihf's officer, not even a poor
relation: or an Irish butler, or a
heathen Chinee. Not at all. The
object Of Polly's wrath was a
parsonage lifted up, as it would
seem, by virtue of his position,
above human criticism as above
human rules, a myth, an unknown
entity-no other, in fact, than the
little god cupid himself. He and
his Vaccinations had Of late
wrought cbanges-wofnl ones,
Polly thought-in the constitu-
ton of the Patten family; and to
her imagination represented all
manner of discomfort and dis
comfture, the alteration of plans
the blight Of hopcs-innovations
and cross-purposes without end.
She felt toward him good, hon.
est, hearty hostility, as one may
toward an opponent Of flesh and
blood, as she sat in her bedroom,
inveighing upon the subject to her
sDecial friend Susan Gilmore, who
was percbed beside her on the
broad window-sill.
oh, it's all very we'll to laugh,
she went on; 'but just wait till
you try it yourself. All last year
was given up, you know, to mar
rylng Helen. Her trousseau, and
her presents, and her furnishing
-nothing else was thought OF or
spoken Of for twelve long months.
The house was choked with her
things. We all worked our hn-
gers to the bone. Nobody could
turn ronnd without finding 3 wo-
man and sewing machine at his
back. We never even pretended
. to hear ourselves speak. Well,
Just as it was all over, and Helen
comfortably off our minds, Lizzie
must needs set up lover and a
long engagement. John Shaw, too,
of all persoos! Now I may be
dull, but in the name Of common
sense why John Shaw, Of all men
in the world p
Lizzie knows, I presume.'
We'll, perhaps she does; still, it
is provoking. Every morning of
his life John Shaw looks in for
half an hour on his way down
town. He and Lizzie absorb the
parlor. Of course. That is all
right, DO doubt; but, as it hap
pens, that particular halt hour is
precisely the one which 1 used
always to take to tidy up the now
ers, water and trim, fill the vases,
and make the room nice for the
day. and want Of it puts me out
dreadfully. l sit and twlrl my
thumbs, and scold to mother, ana
she never will agree with me-
Lovers are privileged she says
of course they are. Don't DO
spoil-sport, Polly. It's their
turn now. Yours will come
