Baby in Church.

Aunt Nellie had fashioned a dainty thing,
OF Hamburg and ribbon and lace,
And mamma had said, as she settled it round
Our beautiful baby's face,
Where the dimples play and the laughter lies
Like sunshine bid in her violet eyes
III the day is pleasant and baby is good,
She may go to church and wear her new hood"
Then Den, aged 6, began to tell,
In elderly -brotherly way,
How very, very good she must be
If she went to church next day.
He told of the church, the choir and the crowd.
And the man in front, who talked so loud;
But she must not talk. nor laugh, nor sing,
But just sit as quiet as anything.
And SO, on beautiful Sabbath in May,
When the fruit-buds burst into flowers,
(There wasn't flower on bush or tree
So fair as this blossom of ours;
All in her white dress dainty and new
Our baby sat n the family pew
The grand, sweet music, the reverent air,
The solemn hush and the voice of prayer.
Filled all her baby soul with awe,
AS she sat in her little place;
And the holy look that the angels wear
Seemed pictured upon her face.
And the sweet words uttered so long ago
Came into my mind with a rythmic flow:
"Of such is the kingdom of Heaven" said He,
And know be spoke of such as she.
The sweet-voiced organ pealed forth again,
The collection boxes came round,
And baby dropped her penny in,
And smiled at the clinking sound.
Alone in the choir Aunt Nellie stood,
Waiting the close of the soft prelude
To begin her solo. High and strong
She struck the first note clear and long.
She held it. and all were charmed but one
Who, with all the might she had,
Sprang to her little feet and cried:
Aunt Nellie, you Sc being badp'
The audience smiled, the minister coughed.
The little boys in the corner laughed,
The tenor shook like an aspen leaf
And hid his face in his handkerchief.
And poor Aunt Nellie never could tell
How she finished that terrible strain,
But says nothing on earth would tempt
Her TO go through the scene again.
So, we have decided perhaps it's best,
For her sake, ours, and all the rest,
That we wait, maybe, for year or two,
Ere our Laby re-enterS the family pew,
New York independent.

Bill Arp Talks of Bows and Trades.

| believe in these schools where bows
can learn trades. Peter the Great quit
his throne and went off to learn how to
build ship, and he learned from stem
to stern, from hull to mast, and that
was the beginning of his greatness. |
know young man who was poor and
smart and friend sent him to one of
these schools up North and he stayed
two years and came back as a mining
engineer and a bridge builder and last
tory and is getting large salary. How
many college boys are there in Georgia
who can tell what kind of native timber
will bear the heaviest burdens or why
you take white oak for one part of a
wagon and ash for another, or what
timber will last longest under water and
what out of the water How many
know sand stone from lime stone or iron
from manganese How many know
how to cut q rafter or brace without
a pattern? How many know which
turns the fastest the top of the wheel or
the bottom as the wagon moves along
the ground? How many know how
steel is made, and how a snake can
climb tree?
How many know that horse gets up
before and a COW gets up behind, and
the COW eats grass from her and the
horse eats to him? How many know
that a surveyors mark upon a tree nev-
er gets any higher from the ground,
or what tree bears fruit without bloom?
There is power of comfort in knowl-
edge, but a boy is not going to get it
1oce hn &c. a M ha1 nd
that is the trouble with most college
boys, they don't want it. They are too
busy and haven't got time. There is
more hope of dull boy who wants
knowledge, than of a genius, for gen.
ius generally knowsi it all without study.
These close observers are the world s
benefactors. Blu Arp IN atlanta Con-

Out of Sight of Land on Lake Huron


We finally run away from all signs of
the shore, and are at last alone with the
Wtf scatered WRte coads hefe aeounad ahd
there, that seem like varied designs in
glass-work blown white upon the trans
parent sky, and the only darkness to be
seen is the long, lazy ropes of smoke that
sluggishly pay themselves out from our
stacks and carelessly coil themselves
down in oddly convulted shapes along
the horizon. A mirage, having nothing
else to elongate, seems to lift the water
itself, until, as you look carelessly sea-
ward in any direction, you cannot tell
sea from sky.
We seem to be at the bottom of an
immense liquid basin, trying to sail up
hill, and the impression that the i'm
mense wheel is going to screw us right
through the wall of this weird magic
doesn' cease its delusions. Away ahead
of US, the sun, getting ready for bed,
seems to be raking out her fires, for
directly beneath her, it appears to be,
on some unseen shore, there is CLEAN
on the water that grows and grows un-
til it rounds upward into huge mound
that glows red like the glare of molten
iron; and as it grows higher and higher
there stretches out toward the ship a
lengthening conc of light, as if to burn
our course upon the waters through the
darkness that is soon to fall. Presently
it touches our prov and the flying spray
sparkles in the golden gleam. The sun
sinks lower and lower; the fires have
been raked, the mound of glowing Goals
has disappeared, the cone itself, has
dwindled to line of burning wire along
which there now sweeps a bright expir-
ing flash, as if in pulling down the
blinds the dear old sun were wiring us
''good night" and the day is gone, and
we are alone with the night. She, too,
pulls her diamond dotted curtains down
around us, and we are alone with the In
finite. Correspondence Boston Trans

Husbands are so stupid! The story
of man who went to town with his
wife to do errands, and was sorely per-
picked at missing something on his re-
turn, until he reached home and found
he had forgotten his wife. reminds some
body of woman in Philadelphia who
gave her husband six commissions to
execute in New York. He telegraphed
back that he had executed five and for
gotten the last. It was an order for an
Illuminated sentence for Sunday
school room. He was good deal as
tonished when he received the reply:
Unto this day child is born-two
feet wide and nine feet long. ."--Har-
Der's MQ1azi,ze.

Honesty,

An old negro met an Arkansas col
onel on the street and proposed to ex
change a very good silver watch for one
comparatively worthless. The exchange
was made, and several days afterwards,
when the colonel met the negro, he
asked:
''Gabe, why did you want to trade
watches with mep The one got from
you is an excellent time-keeper, while
the one you got from me is of very little
account
''Wal, boss, yer see stole dat watch
what / let yeres'f hab, but shortly after
wards iined de church an 'cluded tel
trade aroun' till | got one by homes
ness. "-Arkdnsdw Irdoeler.

The density of ice differs very much
with the longitude. Now. ten pounds
of ice in Burlington, Iowa, is about
three feet square; in Cincinnati it is
about the size of soap-box; in Pitts
burg it is as big as stove-pipe hat; in
Philadelphia it has to be put in the ice
chest directly from the wagon, or it
will melt away before you can run into
the house with it, and in New York, if
you ask dealer for ten pounds of ice,
he laughs in hollow manner and says
he never heard of such thing. You
take fifty pounds or nothing. and then
he weighs it on letser-scale. Bur-
