The wheat is flowing ankle deep
Across the field, from side to side;
And. dipping in the emerald waves,
The swallows flew i'll circles wide.
The sun, a moment flaring red,
Shot level rays ath wart the world,
Then quenched his fire behIud the mills,
With rosy vapors DER him curled.
A sweet insinuating calm
A calm just one remove from sleep,
Such as a tranquil watcher feels,
Seeing mild stars at midnight sweep
Through splendid purple deeps, and swing
Their old ripe clusters down the West
To where, on undiscovered hills,
The gods have gathered them to rest
A calm like that hung over all
The dusky groves, and filtered through
The thOrny hedges, touched the wheat
Till every blade was bright with dew.
Was it dream2 We call things dreams
When we must needs do so, or own
Belief in old exploded myths,
Whose very smoke has long since flown.
Was it dream? Mine own eyes saw,
And Ceres came across the wheat,
That, like bright water, dimpled round
The golden sandals of her feet.

A Dream.

Was it dream or did you come last night,
And kiss my palm, IN some sweet spirit outset
How fain would believe the glad surprise
Was vouchsafed unto me from the strong might,
And sorcery of q love that could requte
My hearts eternal wish, in this strange wise
If 1t were so, this one bliss would suffice
To bridge life's future turbulent sea with light,
Even if 'twere but phosphorescent CLEAN,
Powerless my SOULS utter desire to safe,
If but the potent rapture that did seem
Were augured mine in the to be, I'd wait
Patient, in life's lone by-ways, till my dream
Was voted mine by arbitrary fate,

THE FEMALE FORM.
The Figure of the Young .Iirl and How 1t As
sumes a Mature Look.

Clafa Belle.
Given a small, straight, fiat figure, with
face delicate in its features, and the problem
of making the girl look like fifteen until she
is altogether past her teens is not exceedingly
difficult. 1t can be very simply worked by
refusing to let her petticoats grow to ma
ture length, eschewing all devices of bodice
that produce artificial undulation, and en-
joining an innocent simplicity of carriage
and manner. That was what had been done
with the bride whom l have mentioned.
There was in her family the usual incentive
for thus retarding her apparent growth from
childhood to womanhood. Two Older sisters
wished to matrimonially place themselves be-
fore their ages were emphasized by the young
est daughter becoming an adult Why, l re-
member that one evening at a reception the
dear girl came down to the parlor in lovely
costume of white tulle as simple and infan-
tile as a christening robe, and with hem no
lower than the tops of her high bootes; but
she had presumed to give slight roundness
to her corsage. That was an amendment to
the family resolution which was instantly
voted down, though she prllc:;,,a. nGr q,
carry it.
I'm a Woman, and want to look like
1ne;" she pleaded.
You may be woman, but you've got to
look like a child as long as nature will let

So she had to go back to her room and fiat

swelling.
"PI develop all OF a sudden, the first thing

OH that OCCASION. 49,
And she did it on her wedding day. for
certain. The digniied little creature who
dragged train up the center aisle of fash
ionable church was no longer childish. Her
babyish braids of hair had become an elabo-
rate couture; he ankles were out of sight,
and instead of their StOckiuppd diSDlaV
there was a charming disclosure of bare
arms that were far more plumb and tapering
than anybody had expected, and as fair as
eighteen years of seclusion could make them;

The Rat and the Cheese.

Toledo Blade.
There was once a sleek old Rat who had
worn himself Gray by Long and Hard work,
gnawing Hole into the Pantry, where all
the Food was Kept. When he got the Hole
done he would Sit in it all Day long and
shrek:
1.-THE cats are eating all the Cheese in the
Pantryl The Cats must 60"
The Supplemented Man of the House
could never Find any Marks of the Cats
Teeth and Claws on the Cheese, but he
thought that what was Said so Often must be
True, so he drove all the Cats away.
When the Man of the House came into the
Pantry the next Day, he found that the Bad
old Rat had eaten a Hole clear through the
Cheese, and destroyed more in a Night than
all the Cats in the County would in year.

Atalanta.

When spring grows old, and sleepy winds
Set from the south with odOrs sweet,
see my love, in green, cool groves
Speed down dark aisles on shining feet,
She throws kiss and bids me run,
In whispers sweet as roses breath;
know cannot win the race,
And at the end, 1 know, is death;
But jOyfully bare my limbs,
Anoint me with the tropic breeze
And feel through every sineW thrill
The vigor of Hippomenes
o race of love! we all have run
Thy happy course through groves Of spring
And cared not, when at last we lost
For life, or death, or anything

kissed her snowwhite snow-cool hand,
And left her side at deaths command,
But o, such pain her death had wrought,
Her memory claimed my every thought.
For years, at labor or at rest,
The pain still grew within my breast.
Then. to my grief sorrowing slave,
went TO see her fiower-strewn grave;
But there found my love instead
She had arisen from the dead.
