happy as two mortals can ever expect to
be. Tom is something more than
book-keeper, now, In the Bolton hard
ware business, and he and John are
talking Of buying two handsome pro-
perties in the suburbs of thscity. Mrs.
Dlollie declares she would rather remain
in the little house on Lake street, but
what woman was ever proof against a
handsome establishment in an alisto-
cratic neighborhood5 Not our ambitious
little MolIie, am sure.

MOLLlE'S MATCHMAKING.

A dainty parlor, with numerous easy
chairs.-a glowing fire in the nickel
trimmed heater-a pretty little woman
listening for the footsteps of the lord
and master. This charming picture OF
domestic bliss JacE Ackerman fully
appreciated as he stepped into the room
a few minutes later.
"Well, Mollie, what's the news?"
"Oh, nothing, only supper has been
waiting half an hour. Come, let us
hurry and eat; I want to talk with
you."
81 thought there was something on
your mind. Didn't know but l was
going to get a lecture for being late.'
'You deserve one, for this is the last
evening shall spend with you for two
whole weeks" Mrs. John Ackerman
tried to frown, but failed completely
In another half hour they were back in
the parlor, and Mollie began:
81 think Tom is a fine fellow, and
there were never two brothers more
alike than you and he."
"Thank you, my dear, I honor your
Judgment"
Sand, John, have the most brilliant
plan concerning him."
"Do telli' said John, with a move
ment toward his coat pocket, where the
evening paper lay in uncut solitude.
Mollie observed the motion, and
promptly informed him that he should
not read word until she was through
talking.
81 am going away tomorrow, and
then yon may read the paper from the
time YOU enter the house until mid
night, with no one to bother you," she
said.
Somehow, the vision of the little par
lar, without Mollie's lively chatter, did
not seem to strike favorably. Perhaps
this was why he tossed the paper to tie
other side of the room, and promised
to listen. Mollie perched herself on
one arm of his chair, and began:
"You know my sister Amy is coming
home with me for long visit, and don't
you think it would be splendid if she
and Tom wound fall in love with each
other? They could get married and sci
up housekeeping in cottage like this
one across the street. 1t would make
me so happy, Jeckl"
John laughed long and heartily.
'Match- making, by Jove" ne said,
at last. Miserable yourself, and want
everybody else to be; is that it, Mollie?
'eDon't laugh, John, for am in earn.
est. know they will like each other,
and l have set my heart on the match.
Just think how nice it would be to have
Amy here: and Tom is such o darlingl'
John was laughing again by this time,
and it took considerable management to
reduce him to order.
81 tell you what it is, Mollie, you
don't want me to say word of this to
Tom or Amy, or they will take q dis
like to each other.
II know it," replied Mollie. "When
1 told Tom / was going to visit Aunt
Hetty I did not mention Amy's name,
and don't think he knows Of her ex-
istence; as for Amy, ! have been with
her so little since I was married that ]

Living and Loving.

"Live but to love p is the baby's confession
As fondly it leaps to it's mothers embrace,
And all the deep rapturous joy of possession
Is seen in the glow that illumines its face
81 live but to love T' with carresses and kisses
1t heals all the blows and the bruises of srtife
And all through the day not chance ever
misses
Of fproving that love is the sweet'ner of life.
The sky may with ominous clouds be oer-
laden,
And out of the darkness no blue banner filings,
But love, like bird, in the heart of the
maiden
OF courage and hope still contentedly sings
There's always some honey to gather from
flowers
That bloom in our path; always comfort to
give
To those who are wounded with thorns. That
life's hours
May yield us more bliss, let us love while
we live.
With love by the hearth, though the fuel be
scanty,
There's warmth and much happiness, spite
OF all ills;
For affection will often thrive well in shanty,
And in sumptuous quarters die oft with the
chills,
Too cautious in loving, too stingy in giving,
The miserely cynics good angels repel,
And daily declaring life not worth the living,
In sadness and solitude evermore dwell.
Though trouble and sorrow have grievously
tried us,
Leaving scars on the heart time can never
efface,
If only a friend or two linger beside us,
Earth is not a dreary and desolate place.
Eternally blest the affectionate mortal
Who gives of the grace he is nourished upon
He says as he enters the glory-girt portal.
81 have lived I have loved !" and he lives
and loves on.

The st. Louis post dispatch.

Mr.. Cockerill editor, commenting on
the action of the grand Jury in failing
to find an indictment for the killing Of
A. W. Slayback, says:
"a more complete vindicatioD, under
the circumstances, could hardly he
done. This grand jury heard ana
weighed for the first time testimony in
the case. 1t decided that the act of Mr..
Cockerill was justihable. Complaint
is made in some malignant quarters
that this grand jury conducted it's in
vestigations with too much liberality;
permitting Witnesses to appear before
them who, in & very common langu-
age of people not versed in law, were
not the States witnesses. The fact, SO
far as the grand jury is concerned, is
that there are no witnesses for the PROS
ecution or the defense. All persons
having knowledge being competent u
t3stlty. ii the jury 20 eject, may serve
to allay the apprehension in some direc-
ious that the interests of society have
been neglected, in not forcing a case TO
trial which could only have one result,
tie aCQuittal Of the accused"
