mostly Uttered up with flowers and birds
and her own sketches, and at first she sung
from morning till night, and she did have
real lovely voice, I'll allow that, but after
awhile she didn't sing and didn't talk much,
and then John began taking her meals up
to her. The first time | saw him getting
tray ready, said
ats good thing you were ready brought
up to be handy, John, seeing you've got an
invalid WIFE"
He didn't say anything then, but few
days after he came to me and said
"Janet, get girl as soon as you can, and
let Aunt Betsey come over and stay with
Myra she is nervous and low-spirited, and
needs company"
Well, | suppose you've guessed the up
shot of it all little daughter was born to
John and it seemed to me that miracle

never really loved Johns wife--she was so
different in her ways from me-but when l
heard that baby cry felt thrilled to my very
soul, and | Just threw my work apron over
my head and cried for the first time in many
years.
Myra didn't get strong, and the days went
on and still she didn't get up, and felt as
if it was my duty to go and tell her that she

strong till she got out, but | made up my
mind to speak in gentler sort of way.
had been thinking it over, and about
concluded to let Myra live her own way and
not try to make her over, especially since
John seemed so well satisfied with her. and
went up stairs and opened the door softly
and stepped inside. John was standing at
one window looking out at the sunset-it
was all red and gold, and the room was in a
flame; he turned as / came in, and the
tears were rolling down his cheeks. | never
saw John cry before since he was grown
man.
"Wbat is ?" l whispered, going up
close to him.
He made motion with the back of his
head towards the bed. | went over there.
Aunt Betsey was in rocker by the side Of
it reading the Bible. Myra was looking at
the sunset, then at her baby's sleeping face.
Pm not dull to see things, aud | saw there
what made my heart turn cold-it was the
valley of the shadow of death
That all happened three years ago. There
is simple rustic cross up in the graveyard
with "Myra" carved on it, and little Myra
and go up there every Sunday and carry
flowers to decorate it, and the dear child sits
in my lap and puts her blessed little arms
about my neck and whispers "Auntie, talk
about mamma in heaven" and tell how
patient and gentle she was, and how she
sang and played, and how she shall do the
very same thing some day-for know, now,
that flowers are as necessary to Gods crea-
ton as the wood and grain, and the least
little thing that makes sunshine in the
world is of greatest value in the dark places,
and, feel sure when l look up to the hills
she loved, that Myra has reached far-off
heaven before me. Perhaps--perhaps, she
will intercede for me there.

What a Glass OF Wine Did.

The Duke of Orleans was the eldest son
of King Louis Philippe. lie was very
noble young man-physically noble His
generous qualities had made him universally
popular. One morning he invited few OF
his friends to breakfast, as he was about to
depart from Paris to join his regiment. In
the conviviality of the hour he drank little
too much wine. lie did not become intoxi-
Gated; he was not in any respect a dissi-
pated man. His character was lofty and
noble. But in that Joyous hour he drank
Just one glass too much. In taking the part
ing glass he slightly lost the balance OF his
body and mind. Bidding adieu to his COM
panions he entered the carriage but for
that one glass of wine he would have kept
his seat. Remembering something, he leaped
from his carriage; but for that glass of wine
he would have alighted on his feet. His
head struck the pavement. Senseless and
bleeding he was taken into beer-shop near
10y and died. That extra glass of wine over
threw the Orleans dynasty, confiscated their
property, and sent the whole family into
exile.

FoR Your Own Coon, BoYs.-Don't dis
believe what your elders and those who
know the facts say. Don't acquire the
habit of smoking; il you have begun it,
give it up. Don't use cigarettes. The use
of cigarettes, especially by young boys, is
constantly increasing, and the results are
not such as to Justify the encouragement of
the practice. In Philadelphia several boys
have become blind from smoking them.
The physicians say that the poisonous in
gradients used in the paper wrappers and in
the adulterated tobacco cause, when smoked,
an incurable catarrh, which first destroys
the sense of smelling and tasting, and then
attacks the eyes. Parents who do not wish
these evils to befall their children would do
well 10 see that they do not contract the bad
habit of smoking.

TelephOning Heaven.

A mother living not very far from the
post-oflice in this city, tired with watching
over her sick baby, came down stairs for a
few seconds rest. She hears the voice Of
her little four-year-old girl in the hall by her
self and, curious to know to whom she was
talking, stopped moment at the half-open
door; she saw that the little thing had
pulled a chair up in front of the telephone
and stood upon II with the ear piece pressed
against the side of her head. The earnest
ness of the child showed that she was in no
playful mood, and this was the conversation
the mother heard while the tears stood thick
in her eyes, the little one carrying ON both
sides as if she were repeating the answers
lIellol" "Well, who's there 2" ais God
there?" ." Yes" "Tell Jesus / want to
speak to him." "Well." ais that you,
Jesus 2" Yes. What is it 2" "Our baby
is sick, and we want you to let it get we'll
Won't you, now 2" No answer, and state
ment and question again reported, finally
answered by a" Yes" The little one put
the ear piece back on the hook, clambered
down from her chair, and with radiant
face went for her MOTHER who caught hei
arms" The baby whose life has been de
SPARED OF, began to mend that day and gol
well.-Elmira Free Press.

THE RUMsELLER,s DREAM.


The rumseller lay on his sleepless bed
Darkness and silence around him SPREAD
Andhe dreamed, as he shook with horrid fear,
Weird shades Of his victims lowered near
They crowded around him one by one,
Mother and daughter, father and son;
Cloae by bis pillow they Allied his room.
And peered and ieered through the midnight gloom.
There stood a woman all haggard and pale,
And thus she recounted her dismal tales
20 murderer look on thy victims shade;
BEHOLD the ruin thy trafic made
All THAT'S dear earth was mine
TIL thou seduced my home with wine
Ruined the husband heaven gave
And hurled him down to adrunkards grave,
Forced Us from welded life TO part.
Aud Inc to die Of broken heart
But never shall thy sonl be free
From the murderer's pangs Of agony~
sweet young child drew trembling nigh
with disheveled locks and a tearfai eye.
And she told how drunken mother's hand
Had hurried her soul to the splrit-land
The rumseer shrank as the child bent low
With her silent glance Of unuttered woe,
And groaned with grim and inward wall
A he thought Of that nnocents pitifu tale.
Troops of spirits came sweeping past.
Like Birnain wood in speoter blast,
In skeleton inurderons wounds attired,
Eyes with flaming sulphur nredi
with manged arms and fingers thrust
All over his bed, through sheets Of dust;
Specters Of want and nakedness,
Hunger and shame and all distress;
From Deaths dark stream ghostly wave
Gods panorama Of the grave
on, on it rolled from hea deep springs
with unified rush n hldeoua

CHICAGO, October 1S.-The rainfall over
the northwest continues and the trouble
caused by high water seems to be increas-
ing at Quincy. 1t is feared that the break
ing of the levec is again imminent, the wa
ter being as high as last June. At Keokuk
the Mississippi continues to rise, this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock the stage of water being
two inches above the great rise of last
spring, which caused such great damage. At
Alexandria, five miles below here, water
is backing up over the prairie and there
are prospects that the town will be COM
pletely Inundated. The railroad shops and
lumber yards in the lower part of the city
are completely submerged, and operations
have been suspended. It is feared that the
river will rise at least another foot and that
a very disastrous flood will be the result.
