IN THE RAIN.


The black clouds roll across the sun,
Their shadows darken all the grass;
The songs the sweet birds sang are done,
And on wide wings the MINISTRIES pass.
There comes sudden sheet of rain
That beats the tender field-fiowers down.
And in the narrow, fragrant lane
The white road turns muddy brown.
And then the clouds roll slowly back,
The sun again shines fierce and hot,
The cows come down the sodden track
And MUNICH the wet grass in the lot
The flowers their moistened faces raise,
The wet leaves in the sunbeams CLEAN,
The birds, refreshed, resume their lays,
The children paddle in the stream.
How like to life such days as thisl
The brightness and the storm Of tears;
So much to gain, so much to miss,
The sudden overflow of fears.
Yet, though the song is hushed while,
We know twill break forth by and by,
We know behind the clouds the smile
or radiant glory still doth lie.
Oh, let the sudden storm beat low t
Our tenderest blossoms as IL may!
And let our sweetest song-birds go,
They will return some other day.
We shall forget the sheeted rain
And all that looks so dark and drear,
Just as we have forgot the pain
That seemed so hard to us last year.

they sprang out, Little John catching
hold of his staff and Scathelock holding
drawn dagger before his breast.
'Give up your staff, or I'll slay you On
the spot!" cried Scathelock.
The beggar let 60 his staff, which Lit
tie John stuck in the ground hard by.
'.Don't kill me!' cried the beggar, in
a whining voice. II never did you

"You have nearly killed our master,

claimed Little John. ''Come along

Now" said the beggar, assuming a
different tone, II know you are honest
fellows, and do not wish to harm me
for acting in self-defense. If you will
let me 60, l will give you hundred
pounds in good money which 1 have in
my bag"
To this proposition Little John and
Scathelock agreed. 1t was wicked

money and then take him all the same.

unslung his meal-bag and put it in the
middle of the cloak. Little John and
Scathelock drew close, to see him count
out the good money. AS they did so,
the beggar thrust his two hands into the
bag, and taking up lot of meal in each
he dashed it into the eyes of Little John
and Scathelock. They were blinded so
that they could do nothing but dance
about and rub their faces. The beggar
quickly seized his staff and began
thrashing them terribly. He raped
them over the head, he basted their
backs, he belabored their broad shout
ders till the woods resounded with the
heavy blows.
AS soon as they could escape, Little
John and Scathelock took to their heels
and ran.
1t was with great shame that they re-
turned to Robin and reported the result
of their adventure. The chief laughed
at them, and they all three felt in their
hearts that they had got no more than
they had deserved. They had broken
their rules in attacking poor man, and
had been soundly punished in turn

An Inventors Story.

The other day great inventor, who
has recently sold engines of war to
Eastern nations to- fabulous sum and
who resides in pretty little villa in the
suburbs of London, found it necessary
to engage an additional servant. There
were many applicants for the place, but
among them was young woman whose
application was successful and whose
history cannot tell better than in her
employers own words: "Mrs. L. had
received good many applications, she
told me, and had been unable to make
selection, as we wanted servant who
would go in the yacht with us this
summer and fulfill the duties of maid
and general assistant. Just at that
moment another applicant entered.
She was dressed very well; had ON gold
trimmed spectacles and looked like a
Boston school teacher. l supposed
she was a visitor and addressed her rs
such, but she soon told me that she
wanted servants place. She could do
everything from fine needlework TO
plain cooking, and she was willing to
do it, too. Besides that she had been
much at sea, and, in short, she was
servant in my employ-faithful quiet,
quick and watchful; it did seem as if we
had found a treasure. You know my

to get it. Imagine my surprise to find

to be very faithful rough drawing of

Wonderful Mountain railroad.

A marvel in the way Of n mountain
railway has just been completed in
SNitzcrland. 1t starts about y quarter
of mile on the Vevay side OF the
Castle of ChillOn and runs to point
called Glion. 1t is 100 meters (2,275
feeD in length, and has a gradient of
81 per cent, which makes it the
steepest railway in the world, 1t goes
apparently straight up the side of the
mountain. The descent inspires terror
rs the cars seem to rush tumultuously
down the mountain side, while the
ascent seems to be tedious and slow,
yet this is all apparent, aS the pace in
both cases is the same. The lOcOmO-
tion is brought about entirely by water
power, and it's constructor Is Mr..
Riggenbach, the inventor of the Righi
railway system, which has always been
curiosity since it was built. This
mountain railway is almost as long as
