One of These Days.

One of These Days.
Mabel stood up in the window seat;
Dear little Mabel, dimpled and sweet.
Down the rain battered in the dark street,
People were hurrying thro' the sleet;
Sunlight and music and flowers were dead.-
Oh, for the country to which they have He'd
Mabel looked up with unquestioning gaze.
"ROses will bloom again, one of these days"
Dear little Mabel, the winter has gone,
Birds carol blithely all the glad morn,
Sunlight and music are flooding the air,
Flowers bold and beautiful everywhere.
Sweet little prophecies now thou art dead,
Grateful they Chamber above thy bright head,
So thou has taught me the difficult phrase,
"Roses will bloom again one of these days.
Once for a season in darkness and gloom,
Slumbered the Son of the world i'm tomb
Till the bright morning an angel came down,
Holding His sceptre and bearing His crown.
Wide are we severed, Love, only in dreams,
We may cross mountains or swim the swift
streams,
Yet we repeat with our hearts strong and
brave,
"Faith hath sepulchre, Love hath no grave"
Long is the winter and cold my sweetheart,
Oft to my eyeids the burning drops start,
Oft i'm the copses the Dightingales sing,
Deep in the hollow the crOcuses spring,
NiOets purple the untrOdden ways,
We shall be happy, Love, one of these days.
MANY rumOrs have been IN circulation about
the National capitol touching the alleged
mminence of hostile meeting between Rep
reSentativeS Haskell, OF Kansas, and Town
send, of Illinois, resulting from certain sharp
words which passed between those gentlemen
during the debate on the Tariff bill "Wednesday.
The friends of Townshend intimate that they
cannot permit the matter to rest with the i'm
putatiOn of falsehOOd against him, and there is
reason to believe a demand will be made upon
Haskell of a peremptory character.

THE HAT Boys FACULTY.
Never Forgetting which Hat Of a Hundred
Goes with which Face of Five Score.


There is special line of work required
from hotel employees, which needs the ex.
ercise of extraordinary powers of memory
| The " hat boy " who succeeds in the metro
politan hotel in filling his place acceptably
is sure of berth for life. In all large hotels
of the city the hats Of the guests are likely
to be left before any meal in room adjoin-
ing the dining-room, and they are left in
charge of the hat boy.
Perhaps the most remarkable of all hat
boys in New York is an attenuated little
man who has charge of the hats Of the guests
Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He is small and
wiry, and seldom seems to take his eyes
from the racks which line the ante-room on
either side. When he takes visitors hat
he chances at his face carelessly, and puts
the hat on one Of the several racks. When
the man comes out of the dining-room, an
hour or two later, the boy picks out his hat,
without a moments hesitation, and hands it
to him. Often he has from three to four
hundred hats in his racks at one time, and
in the course of six years he has never been
! known to make mistake. The hats look
very much alike, and it is q mystery to the
majority of diners how he remembers their
faces and their hats at the same time.
The attendant was asked a night or two
igo how it was his memory served him in
80 many cases, and he said;
~ don't know. 1t seems to come nat
ural"
+" Do you pick out any particular feature
IF the wearer's face by which you fix him in
your memorys'
Oh, no; that would never do. re-
member the face itself. look along the
rack and / seem to see the face TINT fits
every hat, and when a man comes out / 90
10 the hat that is associated with his face
naturally. 1t doesn't make any difference
whether the man has his hat on when he
comes in or not. He hands it to me and
look at his face, and somehow l cannot for
get it. The gentlemen of the house often
try to fool me, but they have never succeed
en in catching me in a blunder. For in
stance, sometimes two of them will come in
looking somewhat alike and wearing hats
that are exactly the same pattern. One Of
them hands me the two hats. When they
come out I give each his hat separately. l
never give the wrong hat to the wrong man,
although had no positive proof which man
OWNS the particular hat.

many coarse points that had not been visi-

number OF these in his complaint, and as a

But one specification was that she had
naturally considerable of mustache, which

STAGE FRIGHT.
How Old aud Experienced Actors are some-
times Affected.


am not bit surprised" said one of
the actors in Money ut the Fifth Avenue
Theatre, g at the quasi fixture of the piece
ON the first night There appeared to be an
epidemic of nervousness in the whole COM
pany, all the more singular that We all
of us tried veterans i.nd most of us had fre-
quently appeared before New York audi
ences. II is one Of those things which can
not be accounted for on any theory. Mr..
Coghlan even was not himself. He trembled
in every limb and almost had stage fright.
He says that his throat was so dry he could
hardly aitculate, snd that his voice seemed
to have deserted him, so that he had to
make herculean efforts TO be heard. And
yet Alfred Evelyn is part as familiar to
him as any he ever played.
This was nothing to the pitiable condi-
ton of Mr.. Walden Ramsey. He was 80
bad that every time he went off the stage
he grew sick, and he would hardly be him
self before he had to go on the stage again.
This so distressed Coghlan, and Ramsey
looked such picture of woe, that on tho
second night he told Ramsey that he
(Coghlan) would be all broken up If he did
not mend. Ramsey could not account for
it. He played his part very well in spite of
his suffering, but to those on the stage who
played it had most depressing effect.
Miss Florence Gerard, Of course, had e
good deal Of reason to be nervous. 1t was
her first appearance in new country and
before an audience whom she knew nothing
about. She was the picture Of misery from
The start This happened to suit the char
octer in which she played, for Clara Doug
lass is rather lachrymose sort of part any
way. She was so much affected that when
the part called for her TO cry she cried in
real earnest and the tears fell in profusion
on her dress. When off the stage she paced
the green-room and would not allow any
BODY to address word to her She was
beside herself with nervousness and said II
any body talked TO her she would go mad.
All the others were affected in the same
way. Mr. Clinton Stuart was very much
frightened right through, and Miss Gerard
kept up the fright also so long that even in
the fifth act she said He told me TO call
him sister, which of course brought laugh
at the poor girls expense, and only unset
tied her the more. An old actor like John
Jack even caught the infection and was
frightened"
An actor who sat in front, speaking Of
the same performance, said
AS rule nervousness on the first night
Is beneficial to play. The actors are
strained up to the highest tension and pro-
duce results which are lacking ON other
nights, but in this case they were too highly
wrought. could see that there was danger
of the whole performance going TO pieces at
one time. could not but feel in sympathy
with them, for it became plain to me that il
would not be a good show right from the
start. Their voices, their gestures, their
movements were all out Of gear, and they
didn't seem to have a notion what they were
going to do next.--N. Y. Journal

But Crocus heart sank piteously, as ne

''He is thinking how he shall break it to
