Faithful Carlo.

Little Mary and her great black New
foundland dog, Carlo, were a very
familiar picture to me.
l often stopped to look at them as
they ran about the yard. If it is .
warm afternoon, they lay asleep under
the large evergreen trees. Mary light
curls made a lovely contrast to Carlos
shaggy black sides. His loving gentle
ness made him seem as good as he was
handsome.
Little Mary had naughty habit Of
running away from home. Carlo
would not leave her for a moment.
de seemed to try to get her home again.
He ran before her, keeping her from
getting oft the walks, and trying to coax
her to turn about. Sometimes he would
succeed, and then | heard his joyful
bark when he saw her once more safely
in the yard. Ii he could not get her
home, he would never desert her.
When she was tired out she laid her
curly head against his neck, ready to-
go wherever he led. Then you may be
sure he led her home Just as straight as
he could go.
One day, when 1 came out of the
gate, Carlo met me, barking and Jump
ing about in most anxious manner.
He ran little way and then came back
to me, as if coaxing me to follow him.
| thought him too wise dog to be mis-
taken, so l followed him, though little
slowly. He seemed to notice this and
to beg me to hasten. In a moment
more l saw dear little Mary toddling
along the railroad track.
l felt sure that the dogs quick ears
must have heard the train, which was
coming around the curve. | hurried
fast enough, | can tell you. Carlo had
never before allowed me to pick herup
even for a moment. Now he seemed
fairly wild with JOY when caught her
in my arms. He led me home in q
perfect dance of delight.
After that was privileged frieuds
for Carlo never forgot that morning
To the day of his death he thanked me
in his mute, loving way every time he
saw me.-Nrs. Frances Snasth, IN Oar

fashionable in black, seal brown, gold

"A lady who has remarkable success
in raising house-plants reveals the
secret of her method in a note to the
New York Post. The soil, she writes,
is about two-thirds good garden soil and
the rest is sand. 1t is kept light and
loose about the roots, and the plants
are watered only as they appear to need
it. But the chief reason for their won
derful growth and bloom is that when
any of the leaves wither and fall, in
stead of throwing them away she makes
little rolls Of them and tucks them down
In the earth, where they decay. This
is the only fertilizer she uses.
-Twenty-four years ago, says John
J. Thomas, we had three or four inches
of sand carried on part of garden, the
soil of which was too clayey for the sue
cessful or convenient raising of garden
vegetables. When this sand was well
worked in, the whole became an excel
lent sandy loan, just the soil for agree
able working. The labor of drawing on
the sand was considerable; but it was
done in winter, when there was little
else for the man and team to do; and
the fine condition of the soil remains as
good as at first, and probably will for a
century to come. IN Y. Tribune.

Marian, look, Madge, here's my purse,
too, with the half-dollar still in it!
What can it mean?"
No one could tell. But wonders will
never cease. Another knock sounded
on the door. Theo opened it, her lips
and cheeks scarlet with excitement.
Before her stood man in slouched
hat and seedy overcoar, muffied up to
his chin. Theo recognized him.
"Come in, she commanded, I'M
periously, s'and tell rs the meaning OF
this" And she pointed to the open
box, where figs and raisins lay scattered
about, oranges and suet lay in close
proximity to pineapples and beef, and
the turkey had fallen helpless on his
back among the rosy pearmains that
lined the bottom of the box, where he
held up one plump drum stick, as if be-
seeching the sympathy Of the spectators.
The tramp walked obligingly IN. He
pulled off the seedy overcoat; he threw
down his slouched hat; and there stood
handsome, broad-shouldered young
man, with gray eyes and crisp chestnut
hair.

"Why, Cousin Toni" echoed Madge.
But Theo stood silent, with dropping
eyes and blushing cheeks.
"And have you no greeting for me,
Theo?" asked Tom who, by-the-way,
was only third or fourth cousin, after

Although-ah, yes-he caused me many a

And taught me to look upward to Hope s

And see the rainbow cleaning through the

As thou dost come, just twelve short months

And now, because he has grown old at last,
Shall we forget the faithful life? All, mol
Thou art a stranger: what know men of thee?
Thy promises may all be fair and bright;
But many morning dawning cloudlessly
Has brought weary day and stormy night.

Will ask a blessing on thy reign, o king,
