Wouldn't Stand II.

Sometime ago q man from Park
City came into the Cliff House con.
siderably excited, and inquired if a
certain person was stopping there
He explained that the man had "done
him dirt" and he wasanxious to lick
him Finding that the man had
just left the house, he rushed out af,
ter him, and finding him on Tribune
avenue, walked up and announed
that he had come all the way from
Park City to lick him, and accord
ingly he started in. In a few min,
utes he had blacked both the mans
eyes, walked al! over him and reduc.
ed him to general wreck. When
he had finished the job, he stood the
man up against the wall of Walkers
Bank, and remarked:
a want you to understand that l
consider you the most infamous
whelp ever saw. You dirty little
cur, l."
"Hold on" said the man who had
just been licked, taking off his coat.
II think after thrashing q man you
have no right to abuse him. l can
stand licking, but l won't stand
abuse from any living man, no mat
ter how much he weighs. Now I'm
going to lick you"
lie was as good as his word, and
started in with the most business
like air imaginable and knocked his
late victor in the gutter. Every time
he gotup'he knocked him down with,
"Blast me, l can't stand abuse."-
When he got all through with the
Park City man the crowd thought it
was pile Of rags and mud.
"Now, look here, my friend" said
the last victor, "next time you lick a
man let well enough alone. Don't
abuse him. You handled yourself
well enough while you were licking
me, but you overdid the abuse"

Don't be afraid, little one, we

were hunting all over the place she
drew near them, watched them with
wide open curious eyes, and soon be-
gan to touch their sabers and kick
her sabots against their rattling
spurs One of the Prussians turned
and patted her on the head, and then
picking her up in his arms he said:
"Will you give me kiss2'

"Are you wicked2" The soldier, who
was being more and more touched by
her childish talk, sat down, placed
her on his knee, and began to talk to
her, translating what she said to his
comrade, who remained standing. and
who was also deeply interested in
the scene.

got little girl?"
The Prussian turned pale and his
face grew sad. "Yes, l have q dear

ed.
"Ah, then you may kiss me-" He
kissed her, pressed her close to his
heart, and the tears fell down on his
thick fair beard; and then they both
mounted their horses and rode away
When they we're gone the lad came
out of his hiding-place and ran into
the forest. 1t was this same young
fellow, saved by the intelligence, the
coolness and the childish grace of lit

The Nighi Before Che Moving.

Oh, the night before the moving.
When the warm south wind was blowing,
1t wins pleasant and sweet 20 pass
Ankle-deep through flowers and grass
Grass and flowers so proudly blowing
On the night before the moving.
But when next my feet went slrayinr,
Men were busy with the haying;
! saw the sharp scythe swiftly pass
Through nodding HoYers and blowing
grass,
Till blowing glass and flowers were living
Underneath the hot sun--dying.
But twas not long ere sweet content
Filled the meadow with wbndfous scent;
And flowers and grass, as bleaching hay,
Had learned the meaning Of the May
And why they were 50 prcidly blowing
On the night before the moving.
Maiden, unto woman growing,
Maiden, with the loose haR flowing,
With eyes blue as the sizes above,
Face as lair as the iosepfioye,
Crowned with youth and isy and beauty,
Thou shalt learn diyiner daty.a
Oft when life has balpsg ssiap

Lay the blade to tht Young life,
Do not lear; on some sweetm morrow
Thou shalt learn the Why Of sorrow.

words of wisdom.

In the battle of life no man can
win by firing blank cartridges.
The most brilliant qualities be.
come useless when they are not sus-
tainod by force Of character,
The idle man travels SO slowly that
even poverty easily overtakcs him at
the first turn of the road.
We cannot conquer fate and ne:
cessity, but we can yield to them in
such way as to be greater than if
we could.
The mind profits by the wreck of
every passion, and we may measure
our road to wisdom by the sorrows
we have undergone.
As selfish and ill.bred as the mass
Of mankind are, prefer to live with
them rather than go into solitude
and try to live with myself
This old German provcrb is worth
practicing; "Honor the old, instruct
the young, consult tho wise, and
bear with the foolish"
InquiSitive people are the tunnels
of conversation; they do mot take in
anything for their own use, but
merely to pass i! TO another,

progressive meditation is talent. In.

They were married very soon after

of rage, and he pcrploxod aud aston
ishcd at hur sudden passion, but en-
joying his happiness without seek

society tho marriage was much talk
cd about. Tho Baroness Ancolin,
remembering similar phrases in her
romanccs, has ready charming lit
tic speech upon the subject: "Do

Six months elapsed The newly.

having her eyes open only to the
prosout moment, suddenly said TO
them ut was | who made you SO

The Princess gave a sudden start.
"What do you say? What false

not so black as l painted him. Those
famous letters were dated five years
back You were not married. then"
"ls this what you have done?"
said the Princess, looking at her hus.
band and her friend with an express
ion of madness in her eyes. Tho
dead, forgotten Prince, whose namo
she no longer bore, wholly resumed
his former place in her affections, as
her husband plainly saw by n shrink
ing motion as she drew back from
him.
All was over between them with.
out word Of explanation. Tho
Princess shut herself up at home and
in an agony that lasted long sho gave
way to all the remorso that tortured
her. The unhappy woman had mar
ried again, not for love, but out Of
revenge, and finding that the Prince
was not unfaithful she felt guilty
towards him and ashamed Of herself.
With what pity andsorrow she recall

rudcly banishcd, and now returned

Tho poor lover. held himself aloof,
knowing we'll that he was nothing
TO her; her former passion returning
with such strength had killed what
she felt for him as by ono blow.
At the last moment, as Mmo. Ance!
lin was weeping near her, being over
come with romorso, although hardly
understanding her fault, tho Princess
leaned over towards the thoughtlosy
creature, who had Auttered like u
butter fly across her straight and &C.
rious path, and said in voice too
feeble for the complaint to resemble
a reproach. "You see | am not COO

And it was true.

GOLDEN DAYs.-Thi5 admirable
paper for boys and girls commenced
a new story in the last issue entitled
Roy Barton's Adventures on the
Mexican Border" which promises
to be full of interest to the thousands
of boy and girl readers of the paper.
Golden Days is by all odds the best
paper of the kind ever published in
this country, and its great success is
richly merited. 1t is a large sixteen
page paper, contains no advertise
ments and is published at the small
sum of SO per annum. This is very
cheap, considering the size of the
paper and the numerous illustrations
in each number. Every boy and girl
should subscribe for Golden Dogs.
APPARENT cannot make his children
a more acceptable or profitable gift.
