THE RAJAHS. JEST.

The slave who kept the Rajah's gate,
BY some old freak of chance or fate,
In face and form was i'm accord
Almost exactly with his lord:
The hue of eye and tone OF speech
Were absolutely like in each.
The Raiah loved a jest to play.
And took into his head, one day,
To fool his court; and so arranged
That he and slave their garbS exchanged
The slave was decked with costly gem,
Silk robes and royal diadem;
The Ra iah dOnned the slaves attire,
Ragged and rent, and stained with mire.
In each mans case, from head to feet,
The transformation WAS complete.
The court assembled. wise and grave,
And naughty mobiles homage gave
To the false Rajah on the throne,
And the real Rajah passed unknown,
1t pleased the monarch nightly
Those rich and naughty men to see
Bowling before q slave: and proud
OF his good jest he laughed aloud.
Then the false Rajah's eye flashed fire,
And. in voice that shook with ire,
Who is this noisy man." he said.
"This instant sever OF his head!'
Ere the poor Raiah could protest,
a slave Obeye 1 the stern beheSt,
And the false Raiah after ruled,
The court ne er knew it had been fooled;
He ne cr cnnfes sed, nor for an hour
Gave to another man his power.
He'd learned a lesson from his rise,
Dare. when you may. to seize your prize,
And. fearing slip twixt cup and lip,
Once fastened ne er relax your grip.

AN EVENING CALL.

We lived in the far, far West, in a
little settlement called Siam Town.

church, he generally received that title.
l was called the deacon's little Becky.
had been born in Maine, but when my
parents died my grandfather crossed
the continent, and brought me back
with him. He carried me all the way
in a flat basket, filled with cotton bat
ting, which he held on his knees. He
often told me how he walked into the
hotels or taverns where he stopped with
me for luggage, and how much interest
excited. l was only three months
old, and [ found mother at every
resting place. Since then he had been
all to me, and as l remembered nothing
else, | was perfectly happy. At six
teen had had my schooling, and had
settled down to be his housekeeper,
under the tuition of orr one servant,
Sally Wells.
1t was still night, following a beau
tiful day. AS l sat at my window I
could hear all the insect voices hard at
cricket, katydid and locust. and
the queer little tree-toad. Away in the
heart of the old woods a screech-owl
was hooting. Down in the town the
bells were ringing for evening meeting,
which they held on Wednesday,.
Grandfather was gone to chur h. He
had taken old Widow Glenn ng and her
daughter with him, and the buggy
would hold no more. So staid at
home. Sally had gone to get some

alone. didn't mind it. had never

decorated by a design representing three
little kittens eating pound cake, stood

The chairs had rush-bottoms. with the
exception Of two Boston rocking chairs
with chintz cushions; an engraving of
the battle of Bunker Hill. portrait of
Washington. and some family photo
graphs hung on the wall, which was
covered with a pale-gray paper with a
pink flower upon it. A clock and two
vases stood on the mantel piece. a RAG
carpet was on the floor, and a secretary
and bookcase combined filled one re-

busted every Saturday, but we never
thought of using it.
