IN THE GARDEN.

The birds and bees and butterflies
Are visiting together.
Among the pinks and mignonette.
This blessed summer weather.
The busy b.es-they ask no leave
Are gathering their honey.
And all of them are working hard,
As people work for money.
The butterflies do nothing more
The happy little things
Than fly about the fiOwer-beds.
To show their brilliant wings
The rubin and the humming-bird
Are happy with each other.
And round about the garden go,
As brother goes with brother
The robin has voice that Hills
Our weary souls with song:
The humming-bir,i. he does his best
In humming all Jay long.
u bees and birds and butterflies
In gardens you'll find room
As long Us this green earth shall stand.
And long as flowers shall bloom.

CATHIE'S STORY.

Oatnle brOWnS Aunt Satnle, LOT
whom she was named, used often to
tell her that once. at least. in every
body's life, something happened "just
like story"
Cathie ike to believe this, but one
day she said. quite cheerily: ''Why,
Auntie, l don't know; everything has
been commonplace so long that it seems
good to me, like the Old faces and
places"
..Ah, nv dear" said Aunt Cathie,
"that contented heart of yours is a
blessing; but something will happen to
YOU one of these days"
Cathie lived on lonely country road.
Her father was a farmer, whom hard
fortune had followed for many a year.
Three sons, older than Cathie. were
buried in the country burying- ground
beyond the hill. Farmer Brown and
his wife were getting on in years; and,
although they had begun at last to
make head slowly against the current
of adversely that had set SO long against
them. the habits of hard labor and the
strictest economy chung to them still.
They owned their farm, and Cathie was
their only child; but, beyond sending
her to school in summer and winter,
and allowing her the open space from
the front door to the road for a flower
garden, they felt that they could afford
her no privileges.
Her dresses were of the cheapest ma
terial, her hair was always braided down
her back in the same simple fashion.
her shoes were coarse and thick, and
she had no ribbons, no jewelry, no
trinkets of any kind But Cathie did
not care muck for such things The
desire of her heart was to give. Oh.
the dreams she used to dream of the
blessedness of giving! Anime of mon
ey would not have satisfied her long
ings to give and give. She might not
have been in every instance a wise
giver. if her dreams had come true;
but she used to lie awake O. nights,
and plan by the hour. how. and where,
and to whom she would give, if for
tune should fall TO her. And nobody
should ever know where the good gifts
would come from. That would be half
the JOY OF it: to have her bounty de-
scend. shower-like, upon the poor and
needy. as if it came direct from heav-
emily places.
Her father and mother gave to the
minister, they visited the sick in the
neighbOrhOod, and fed the tramps; but
Cathie had never had a cent of money
to give away-never in her whole life
nothing but flowers and berries, and
willing little services, and these seemed
pitifully small in her eyes. Oh, to give
freely. royalty. unreservedly! how hap
Ply she would be, if she could do that!
Aunt Catharine was great comfort
to her namesake. She was poor. like
all Of Cathie's people, but she loved
flowers and birds. and all beautiful
things. as warmly as did little Cathie
herself; and she brought rare bulbs. and
roots, and seeds, and slips. and much
homely cheer. to the child.
Cathie's flower garden was sweet the
summer through. Indeed. from March
to December, from crocuses to FROST
flowers. something bright and beautiful
beamed up at Cathie from the ground
There was nothing like her flowers for
miles around. They were the pride
and wonder of the neighborhood. And
among them Cathie toiled. when she

''Give 1t away? Well, it's your own
money, Cathie. l am sure your father
will be willing for you to do what you
choose with the first money you ever
had. And you have worked hard for
your flowers. Cathie: We all know

.'And. mother kept on,

cheeks were bright, her eyes glowing.
She had forgotten her flowers.

II will tell YOU this very minute,
motherr' And she did.
So much toward the realization of
her dream! And now new difficulties
arose. She dared not buy the books.
for Oscar knew that she alone was
aware of his need. She could think OF
no way of sending the money to him
that would not cause him to think she
had begged for him. or made his wants
known. He might burn it in pride and
shame if he could not lind the giver.
She thought OF catching one OF his tame
doves and tying the money under its
wing; but he would know then that it

was looking ut the matter
The boy grew eraver and grayer as

"Oh. mother. he will keep it per.
haps until he dies, il he doesn't find the
owner. What shall we doT' cried
Cathie And the mother could not
think OF ANYTHING to do that seemed
likely to set matters straight.
A whole long month had passed away
it had seemed year to Cathie-- and
still Oscar was pushing his efforts 20
find the owner OF the lost money. He
had become convinced that no one in
the village, nor in the neighbOrhood
where he lived, had lost it.
At last, he said one day to Cathie:
e 1t might have been that cattle
buyer. Cathie; who knows? He handles
pile of money in q year. shall ask
him when he goes up again."
Cathie's cheek blanched. and she
caught her breath to keep from speak
ing wrong; for she saw by this time
how it would have seemed to her to
find ten dollars and use II without
searching for the loser. The tears
came into her eyes. and her courage
sank.

asked. her voice trembling.
"Oh, Cathie. said Oscar, almost
breaking down. "Dont care so much
ABOUT IT, You are so ANXIOUS for me to

Cathie went home with breaking
heart.

Both Lapham and Miller being members
of Congress, now that they are chosen to
the Senate, there are four districts in New
York, to fill which special elections viii
have to be held Milier's district is UNI
deubtedly Republican, while Laphams S,
being near Conkling's home, where his in
f1uence will be felt, can fairly be said to be
in doubt. Fernando Woods old district is
Democratic without the shadow of a Re
publican chance, while Levi P. Morton's
is in some doubt; the district is more Dem
ocratic than Republican, but Morton car
ried it through his personal popularity. As
things stand now the Democrats are sure
Of holding their own; have an almost
certain prospect of gaining one congress
man, with good chance of gaining two.
The complications growing out Of the
Conkling fight will have chance to show
themselves in Lapham's district, and even
if Republican is elected there, it is safe
to assert that he will fall heavily behind
Lapham's last majority of 3,410.

The effect of free railroad passes on the
Legislative, min. is subject which has
been often discussed bat in view of the
late Albany disclosures is beginning to as
sumo greater prominence. When a member
from the rural districts buttons up free
pass over the New York Central, safe down
in his Representative pantaloons his heart is
apt to grow warm toward that railroad
and he is disposed to regard VIM. Wander
bilt and the Central railroad as benefactors
to the human race for whom too much can
not be done. Railroads issue passes under
no circumstances except for some return
favors; for instance when they grant them
to other railroad men they expect passes in
return, when they give them to shippers
they do it on account of freight and ex-
pect shippers to favor them in return, so
when they give them to members OF leg
islature there is no doubt that they expect
substantials returns.
Mr.. Frederic Conkling in speech the
other day made the following statement
relative to free passes to legislators:
custom of some railroad lobbyist to go
about among the members of the legisla-
ture and distribute these tickets. The

nonsense. The ticket is part, at least, of
the purchase money of the man who &C
cepts it, and in most cases the corporations
can show as clear title to their purchases
as planter could to his negro slave. In
this connection wish to refer to the very
strange report made by my old friend Eras-
tus Brooks in the late bribery investigation.
Mr.. Brooks is said to carry in his pocket
not only free passes over the railroads of
the state, but in the Wagner drawing room
cars as well, and Mr.. Brooks reports that
he considers Mr.. Bradley's testimony good
so far as it eliminates himself only, while
the benefit of the doubt is given to the self
acknowledged lobbyist whose money Mr..

wears and ten, and In all those years he has
scarcely shown himself capable of being a

his profession. When past thirty years of
age he studied law and has not succeeded
in that profession. As an inoffensive pol

speech June II, 1890 upon the bill re
ating 10 deputy marshals at elections
and, as reported at that date in the Con-
qressfo1aE Record. his speech was not only
of the crudest and most sophomore kind.

credited either his intelligence or his hon
