BY-AND-BY.-There is music enough
in those three little words for the bur
den Of song. They are full of hope
hope for the future--hope felt BY
many a human heart-hope bright
and glowing in anticipation Of the
joys of happy days.
By-and-by." Familiar words |
We heard them long ago, when but a
child ourself, as to baby brother,
just commencing brief journeys from
chair to chair, mother said, "By-and-
by" "By-and-by" lisl ed the little
boy a. he looks forward to the time
OF exchanging his frocks and panta-
lets for trousers and jacket, BY
and-by thinks the youth. as the last
term of his school-days is ending.
"By-and-by" pOnders the young man
while at his trade, or in his clerkship.
"By-and-by" again is heard as his
plans of life are forming. And by
and-by" whispers the maiden. "By-
and-Ly aud the locks are silve ed
Ger.
Sometimes these words sound like
a song, something like a sigh or a sob;
but "By-and-by" has more sweetness
than sorrow. The burden ofits theme
is anticipation; and though thrice and
oft the reality eludes the grasp, fresh
hopes succeed. aud phantom-like and
fitting. they lure onward. Many
times have these little words beguiIed
Us, and still the memory of that sill
very 'By-and-by," like the sunrise of
Ossion, is pleasant but mournful to
the soul.

THE LIFE WAS IN HIM."-Daniel
O'Connell knew the Irish peasantry
thoroughly. He could make them
tell the truth, even when they were
,lispOseh to conceal it. His wonder
FIT power over them was once seen
when he was engaged in breaking a
will on the ground that it was for
gerry. The evidence was strong in
favor of the will, as all the subscrib-
ing witnesses swore that the deceased
signed it while life was in him."
Q'Connell, however. was struck by
the persistency Of one of tn witness
eT who repeated, again and again,
the words, The life was in him. Sc
Knowing the tricks and evasions to

The Reward Of Selfishness.

/ know two little sisters whose names
are Ida and Jennie. Ida is seven years
old, and is a very kind, good girl. Jen-
ME is five years old. She is cross and
selfish, and always doing something to
tease some one. Everybody loves Ida.
and all OF her playmates like to have
her 90 to see them.
But wneu JENNIE visits any of her
playmates she is always getting into
trouble, and they are glad when she
goes home
Whenever presents are sent to these
little girls, Jennie is afraid chat her sis
ter will get something better than she
receives. A visitor once gave her a
silver dime and Ida nickle fiVe-cent
piece.
AS soon as Jennie saw that her sis
ter's piece of money was larger than
hers, she was sulky and began to pout.
So her sister exchanged with her, and
they went to the store to spend their
money. Then she was. cross again be-
cause the storekeeper gave her sister
more for the small piece of money than
he gave her for the larger piece.
One day these little girls father
brought them two fine-looking peaches.
One of them was rather smaller than
the other, and had little speck on it.
"Perhaps l ought to give Ida her
choice said the father, ''since she is
older than her sister"
''No, want my CHOICE cried Jen-
ME. Il want the larger one" And
she eagerly snatched it from her faith
er's hand. He then gave the other one
to Ida.
When they sat down to eat their
peaches, Ida found hers sweet and juicy;
but Jennie's was so sour and bitter that
she had to throw it away.
When Ida saw that Jennie's peach
was not fit to eat, she was about to Of
fer her half of her own but her father
said: ''No; Jennie must 90 without, as
a reward for being so selfish"

Jamie's Old Witch.

On Brush Street, near Jefferson Az
enue, for an hour the other day q
bruised and battered old dumb watch
and chain lay in the gutter, where some
foot had kicked it from the walk. If
anyone gave the toy second glance it
was to realize that some child had lost
or flung it away. The case was bat
tered, the face scratched and SCARED,
and no boy would turn aside to pick it
up. ..t .
BY and by curious procession came
up from the Brush Street depot 1t was
composed OF man and his wife, both
past fifty years of age, and four chill
dren, the youngest of whom seemed to
be about twelve. They were spread
out on walk and street, heads down
and moving slowly, and there was a
look Of anxiety on every face. Some
one asked the man if he had lost his
wallet, and he replied ...,
mo, not that. Somewhere as we
came along we lost our Jamie swatch"

The entire family made q rush for the
spot, and the watch had no sooner been
lifted than the mother kissed it and the
children shouted their exultation.

explained the husband, as he slyly
wiped at something like tear in the

without him. Her father refused his
consent unless Sheridan could settle
fifteen thousand pounds upon her;
and, in his usual miraculous way, he
found the money.
Those who have read George Eliot's
"Fehx Holt will remember how Felix,
though himself rough, unpublished
workman. gained the love o: a refined
and delicately reared young lady, not
by flattering, or even attempting to
please and CRAFTY her, but by Gliding,
depreciating and almost despising her
because she read Byron and knew moth
ing of the heavy mental pabulum on
which he was wont to feed. She at first
was dreadfully veXed and offended; but
by-and-by she came to believe that Felix
her own was frivolous and insignificant;
and striving to emulate his exalted
motives and views of life she made him
her beau ideal, with, of course, the usual
result. In theory, or in novel, this
is no doubt all very fine; but in every
day life the mode of procedure adopted
by Felix Holt would be, to say the least,
decidedly risky, and would very prob
ably end disastrously. 1t is always
safer to risk little tlattery.
"Happy is the wooing
That is not long doing"
says the old couplet but a modern
counselor thinks it necessary to qualify
the adage by the advice; ''Never
marry girl unless you have known her
! three days, and at a picnic In this,
as in other matters, it is always desira-
BILE to hit the happy medium. Marry
ing in haste is certainly worse than a
too protracted .courtship; though the
latter has its dangers, too, for some
thing may occur at any time to break
off the affair altogether, and prevent
what might have been happy union.
1t may always be concluded there is a
screw loose somewhere if Matilda is
overheard to say to her Theodore, as
they steam up the river with the eX-
cursion: Don't sit SO far away from
me, dear, and turn your back on me so;
people will think we're married"
A friend of Robert Hall, the famous
English preacher, once asked him re-
garding a lady of their acquaintance:
"Will she make good wife for me?'
"Well," replied Mr.. Hall, II can
hardly say never lived with hertz
Here Mr.. Hall touched the real test of
happiness in married life 1t is one
thing to see ladies on ''dress'' occa-
sions and when every effort is being
made to please them; it is quite an
other thing to see them amidst the
varied and often conflicting circum-
stances of household life. Chambers

A Wonderful Street.

Ex Secretary of the Treasury Window
is now in London trying to raise money
for building an arcade under the whole
length of Broadway, New York. If he
succeeds, that will be the most ex-
traordinary thoroughfare known to the
history of ciies. The scheme is to
make new street under the present
surface of Broadway, extending to the
houses on each side, and lit by electric
lights at night and glass reilectors in
the daytime The middle of the street
would hold railway tracks, not only for
city travel, but to accommodate in-com-
ing trains from every part OF the coun-
try. The traveller in San Francisco or
st. Paul would not only buy his ticket
in New York, but the hotel on Broad
way where he intended to stop. Freight
and baggage would be conveyed direct
ly to the warehouse or be received by
the express car which was to convey it
to any part of the country. Then traffic
of all kinds could be carried on on each
side of the arcade. There would thus
be q double tier of stores. Provision
could be made for sewers, water mains,
gas pipes and heating tubes. In short,
it would become double street, and
the value of the property quadrupled
along the route. Engineers say the
scheme is entirely practicable. There
is business enough now on Broadway
for two thoroughfares. - DemOreSfs

BOmbarding an Old Lady With Crack.

During the past summer handsome
young man and mischieyous young
lady were among the guests at White
Mountain hotel. The young man was
leased by his friends on account of his
habit of lunching just before going to
bed. One evening he found large
paper bag of crackers on his table.
Rashly jumping to the conclusion that
the mischievous young lady had made
him the gift, he went on tiptoe to the
door of her room, and tossed a cracker
through the open transom. The room
was dark, but the crackers fall was
followed by slight scufling. He
paused moment, and then threw q
second and a third. Each time a rust
ling was heard, but no one spoke.
Having tossed the entire contents of the
bag into the room, the young man stole
away, and as he left the corridor met
the young lady coming to her room.
Troubled in his mind, he made in
quirles the next morning as to the eff
feet of his bombardment, and learned.
to his horror, that the first cracker
thrown had landed on the head of the
young ladys grandmother, an infirm
old lady of nearly eighty, who was at
the moment kneeling by her bedside
engaged in her devotions. Much
alarmed, she had risen to her feet only
to receive a second shot. She had then
retreated to a corner, but, being further
assailed, and not being able to form any
idea of the origin of the mysterious
missiles she had finally crent under tho
bed, where she was discovered in for
lorn condition by her astonished grand
child. Boston advertiser. u.s. ~

j. w. Davis and Robert Bagby, of
Russelville. Ore, while hunting in the
mountains towards the headwaters of
the Clacamas, came across d small
boiling spring. They cooked some
eggs and boiled their coffee IN it by
partially fmmersing the pot. On eX-
amining the bottom of the spring they
saw a whitish looking snake with pink
eyes, which they thought was dead.
One of them took stick and threw it
out on the grass, and both were amazed
to see it glide swiftly back into the
boiling water. Hardly believing their
own eyes, they repeated the expert
ment several times with like result. -
