We were quiet and sober set.
Little accustometl to noise and fret,
Decent and modest as work or play,
And oh: 20 quia m every way,
Before we vent e the circus.
Nobody had ever seen Us go
At all too fast, or At all too slow;
No matter how gaily We talked or sang.
We never had used = word Of slang
Before We went to the circus.
We vent to church, or We went to school
By the very most orthodox kind of rule
For we were . people Of Dutch descent
And rather phiematic Of temperament
Until We went to the circus,
Alas and alas. It's a woeful sight,
The way We are changed at the time
write,
Father i swaying against the breeze,
Hung BY the toes from high trapeze,
Trying te copy the circus.
The bows on their heads, with feet in air,
Are riding Wild horses on each high chair;
Or down on their backs on the sidewalk
brick
Are balancing tubs for juggling trick;
The girls have painted their hands and
face,
And got themselves up for an Indian race,
As they saw them do at the circus'
Mother high up on the table stands.
Swinging the baby with both her hands,
Swinging the baby with many rub,
And brandishing him like an Indian club,
While baby himself. in terrible fright.
Howls like Zulu from morn till night.
Since we went TO the circus,
Alas and alas. can only say.
wish in the night, / wish in the day,
wish with my heart, Iwish with my head,
/ wish with my ears, which are nearly dead,
wish with sort of mute despair,
wish with a shrek that would rcnd the
air

was pinching them, and would not

by mentioning it.
"Only for what, Tom?" asked

Jenny, and the winter is nearly

"But if anything should happen
you?" she questioned with a heavy
sigh"
"Do you think there is much dam

he thought how desperate would be
their situation-of the rent due, the
scanty store of provisions, the little
fuel remaining, the more than
month of hard winter yet before
them, the needs of a family that
poor man learns by the most bitter
experience.
"But there is, dear Tom. No one

There are so many chances for an

"Do not fear will take care of

risks, and as l have nothing to do

He stepped to the bedside, drew
the cover more closely about his

English Servants.

Two old classmates meeting in New
York, one inquired of the otherabou,
a mutual friend. "What has be.
come of Y? / heard he had mar.
ried a.rich wife" "Yes, and the
last time ] saw him he was keeping
a negro boarding house on Fifth
Avenue" This was a pleasant sar.
casm at KS extravaganza in
having five or six celored servants.
In England the intended irony would
have no force. Mr.. Richard Grant
White tells US that in the great
houses" which he visited, and he did
not see the greatest establishments,
there are between twenty-five and
thirty servants These are employ
ed inside the house, while outside, that
is in the stables, the garden andithe
grounds, there are nearly as many
more.
One carse for boarding and lodg-
ing such servile corps, is that the
rule in those houses is: "A place
for every serva Mt and every servant
in his place" So well defined is
each servants duty, that he knows
just what pertains to his place, and
lis very punctilious about doing moth
ing that does not belong to it. This
rule, has, however, its inconven-
fences which have introduce a
new functionary called the ''old
man." His duty is to do whatever
it is no other servants duty to do;
that is, everything any thing order.
ed.
The service. judging frome Mr..
Whites experience, is simply perfect.
When invited to a great house he
was told that carriage would meet
him at the station on the arrival of
a certain train. He hardly left the
train when a very respectable-look-
ing person, not footman, stepped
up and said:
I.ord-'s carriage is waiting for
you, SIR"
On arriving at the house he was
met at the door by a digni6ed person
in black, and asked if he would go
up to Lady-'sroom. She received
him warmly, and offered him tea
from tiny table at her side.
Mr.. White was shown to his room
by the host. As soon as he had
left, very fine-mannered person, in
q dresscoat and a white tie, appear
ed and asked him for the keys ofhis
trunk. He did everything for the
guest, except to wash his lace and
hands and put on his clothes. He
laid out everything in a row, opened
and laid out his dressing case, and
actually turned his stockings. When
Mr.. White returned to his room fol-
the night, he found his trunk un-
packed and his clothes put into the
wardrobe and drawers. Everything
was arranged as if be we're going to
stay a month, Instead of two days.
His morning-dress had ben taken
away to be carefully brushed, and
if found necessary, put in order 9TH
erwise. In the morning the same
servant came, opened the window
drew the bac-curtains, prepared the
bath. laid up the things, turned thu
stockings and did everything bu1
bathe and dress him.
Large as was the retinue Of ser
wants in this house, they kept out o
the way, except when their services
were needed. Mr.. White says he rare
