Of course the appreciator and the
appreciated should be of different
sexes. l read about Damon and
Pythias, and all that sort of thing;
but women we're made for men and
men were made for women, and each
sex will sacrifice more for the other
than for its own. Getting thoroughly
sound ideas of one another and being
sympathetic. it would follow as nat
urally as the multiplication table,
that every pair of appreciators would
become lovers, but until they had
done all the courting necessary to
establish their regulations in the eyes
of purblind public that discovers
nothing even when genius begs at
the door. There would be no quar-
reling, as there could be no mlsun-
derstanding. Sympathy includes
profound knowledge of the art of let
ting alone, hence there could be no
boring. The children of such par
ents would be harmonies in black
and white. They would be beautiful
and clever, because their parents
would be compliments; consequent
ly, human monstrosity and stupidity
would disappear from off the face of
the eaith. Such fine types of hu-
manity would produce less posterity
and better specimens, which is what
the world needs.
The question arises, how is every
body to find an appreciator where
there happens to be an excess of one
sex? First, l should abolish war,
which murders men en- gros. The
quarrels of nations should be settled
by arbitration. Then I'd put stop
to railroad and steamboat accidents.
Whenever an accident occurred by
rail or by water, I'd hang a director,
taking the official body alphabetical
ly. In all probability one hanging
would suffice. These reforms would
greatly lessen the disparity between
the number of women in the older
States. Still there would be dis
parity, while in Western America
there is surplus of men. It is an
axiom as true as Euclid, that every
Jack has Jill. How to bring them
together? Electricity that puts q
girdls around the earth in forty min
utes, only needs development to put

SPECULATION CONCERNING. THE AUTHOR.
SHIP OLA NOVEL.

A curious story comes from Cleve-
land in regard to the anonymous
novel, 1.-THE Bread Winners" began
in the August Century, The MS. Of
the story is said to have been found
in the desk of the late Leonard Case,
of that city, the bachelor, million
aire and munificent founder of the
Case School Of Applied Science. He
was a man of amiable character, of
fine culture, and of remarkable nat
ueal abilities, but his life was 80
clouded by constant ill-health, and
by singular constitutional shyness,
that his talents were unknown even
to his own townspeople, and hardly
appreciated by his few intimate
friends. He wrote poems, sketches
and tales for his own amusement,
rarely publishing anything but an
occasional mathematical paper in the
Smithsonian Institution. The MS.
of ''The Bread Winners" was found
shortly after his death, several years
ago, in mass of other documents,
and only recently examined by his
friends and executors. It was put
into the hands of a competent editor
and prepared fer the press. and then
submitted to Mr. Glider, of the Gen.
tory, who at once accepted it for
publication in his magazine, declar-
ing one of the strongest stories
Which have ever come into his hands.
The personages are rather thiply
veiled portraits Of MIR. Cases friends

as Col. William H. Harris, retired
army officer, whose house and
grounds are accurately described in
the first chapter of the novel.

THE STORY OF MoREToN HALL,

In the suburbs of G., in the
State of Missouri, stands Moreton
Hall. The large lawns in front OF
the mansion are still we'll kept, and
the house still shows traces of its ar
istocratic grandeur. There is an air
of quiet beauty about the place, that
suggests to the passers-by home for
the homeless as we'll as a haven OF
rest for the weary.
This home is now owned by, and
the residence of Myra Moreton. The
marble slabs in the churchyard near
show the resting places of all the
members but one of the large, aristo
cratic family. The small figure that
is Seen passing to and fro, dressed in
sombre mourning, is Myra.
Five years ago, there was assembled
at the Hall large number of gay
young men and beautiful young girls.
We were schoolmates and friends,
and were there to witness the wed
ding of our friend Myra. The halls
echoed with happy footballs, and the
sound of merry laughter rang ont
upon the warm spring morning air,
and here and there we assembled to
discuss the coming event. Out on
the front veranda sat the father and
mother, both sad and silent, SO 10th
were they to part with their only
child.
Myra had always been wilful
child; she had ruled both parents, as
she had her teachers and classmates,
by her winning smile and pleading
ways. So, in this affair, she had over
ruled their objections, while they,
with saddened hearts, were forced to
smile in appreciation.
The evening came. We were all
busy in our preparations. The whole
mansion was brilliantly lighted, and
the grounds were brightly lighted by
the Chinese lantern that hung in
large numbers from every tree The
parlors were thrown open, and soon
filled with.guests. We never looked
upon a lovelier bride. The groom
was young and handsome. He re-
sided in different State, and report
said he was the only son of wealthy
lawyer. He was noble looking, tall,
manly, and of fine physique, with
black eyes and hair. No clouded
thoughts filled our minds, for their
future seemed happy and bright.
Strange rumors were afoat, now and
then. that the son was reckless and
that dissipation kept him banished
from home; but to all these whispers
Myra and her schoolmates turned a
deaf ear.
"For marriage is all a lottery, girls,
and I am willing to trust Leslie
Forbes, for I love him."
That was the reason we turned our
heads aside, and would not listen to
the rumOrs.
The wedding festivities were con-
tinued several days, and the young
bride left her parents, home, and
young friends, to 60 among strangers.
to share the fortunes of her chosen
one. We all returned to our homes
and duties, and the days passed as
they had for months, save that we
were less one companion, one friend.
The old home seemed lonely without
Myra. No childish steps sounded
through the halls, and no merry
laughter sounded from lawn or ter
race We occasionally visited Mr.
and Mrs. Moreton, but our visits

Myra forget her queenly station
and crown, and, with a cry, raised
the bleeding head and gazed into
the face of Leslie Forbes, her hus-
band.
They were both restored to health,
and strength, and the fallen man
vowed to be a man once more-a man
freed from the coils of intemper-
ance.
AS l sit in my doorway, l see hus-
band and wife standing side by side.
He looks down upon her tenderly,
and the old light has come again to
those beautiful eyes; while behind
them, with her spectacles and snowy
curls, stands dear Aunt Linda.

SONG.

Stay, sweet day, for theu art fair,
Fair, and full, and calm;
Crowned, through all thy golden hours,
With loves brightest, richest flowers,
Strong in faiths mistaken powers,
Blest in hopes pure balm.
Stay, what chance and change may waite
AS you glide away;
Now is all so glad and bright;
Now we breathe in sure delight;
Now we laugh in fate's despite;
Stay with us, sweet day.
All, she can not, may not stop;
All things must decay;
Then with heart, and head, and will,
Take the Joy that fingers still,
Prize the pause in wrong ana ill,
Prize the passing day.

COUNsELs FROM THE FRENCH.

Nothing good is ever effected with
out perseverance.
A gracious word, opportunely ut.
tered, is no trifle in the matter OF
happiness; nor a kindly smile added
to suggestion, a slight uneasiness
spared another, nor even an extra
act of politeness.
We are never so good as when we
possess joyful heart.
Those who are at peace with their
conscience are often led to an exces
sive rigor. To overlook nothing in
others is often a proof that we over
look great deal in ourselves.
Circumstances change, temptations
diminish, positions improve, mis-
fortune becomes endurable by habit,
but persons who are disagreeable to
us always irritate us more and more.

A woman was arrested in Kansas
City for appearing on the street in a
Mother Hubbard dress, which the
chief of police decided was to short.
As we understand it Mother Hub
bard dress is one of these things that
gather at the neck and go where
they darn please. It will be re-
membered that this Mrs. Hubbard is
the one who went to the cupboard to
get her poor dog bone, but failed to
find any bone there. If the madame
would go to one of these dresses that
are named after her, she could find
bones enough for her dog.
