ROMANCE.


She didn't like me when We met
But turned away and pouted;
Twas very cool. 4 own. to get
At first a snub so final. yet
chung to hope, and doubted.
Strange a. II seems, few short weeks
Confirmed my sanguine guesses:
i came to understand her freaks,
And even dared TO kiss her checks
And stroke her golden tresses.
So time went on, and as we grew
To know each other better,
She bravely learned TO kiss me. too;
And when she strangely tried to WOO,
Somehow 1 used TO let her.
The privilege stIll yet Is mine -%
With kiss her lips to smother:
Still round my neck she likes to twine
Her soft, white arms. I'll drop a line,
guess. and ask her mother.
This rhyme produces envy-strifc,
Within your reason, may be.
So let me take a leaf from life:
Her mother is my darling wife.
And she my blessed baby.

How Mcpherson Died.

Ramsdells Letter: Ihave still something to
cay about Gresham. He was, as you know,
himself in the army-an officer of some rank.
He was with Gen. Mcpherson at Atlanta, in JULY
1864. He was wounded, and Mcpherson or
dered him to the rear. and ordered some Of his
lMcP - staff to accompany him for safety.
They took circuitous route to avoid the
enemy, Mcpherson telling the way and saw
ing he had no use for his staff officers. When
Gresham arrived at the railway station he
was lying on stretcher, when there was q good
deal Of hustle and big pine box was brought
in and placed beside Gresham. He recognized
it as an army coffin and asked who it contained.
he was shocked and almost paralyzed with the
answer, "Gen. McPherson." Poor MCPHERSON.
on that unhappy 22d of July, was shot from
ambuscade. take the following paragraph
from q lately published letter of Gen. Sher-
mans to the adjutant general, referring to Nc
Pherson's death:
At the time of this fatal shot he was on horse
back placing his troops in position near the city Of
Atlanta. and was passing by cross road from a
moving column toward the flank of troops that had
already been established on the line. he Quilted
me few moments before and as on his way to see
In person to the execution of my orders About the
time OF this sad event the enemy had sailed from
his intrenchments around Atlanta aud had by cir
cult got to the left and rear Of this very line aud
had begun an attack which resulted in serious bat
tie. so that Gen. Mcpherson fell in battle, booted
and spurred, as the gallant knight and gentleman
should wish.

New York Star: Midsummer politics have

account of the controversy which has been
raised by the charges of Judge Daniel G. Bird

the New York Sun, accusing the latter Of turn

presidential campaign. Judge Birdsall's
charges were first published in the Hart

SIN what form was the payment made?"
"By q check, which was presented and cashed
at the Third National bank Of this city. The
check was signed by Mr.. Tilden and made paw

or two days before the Sun turned against Gen.

"Did you see the cneck?"

National bank, through whose hands it passed,
told me all about it"
"And you place implicit confidence in his

II do; and am just as certain of the exist

"What is his name?"
"That must refuse to disclose at present
In the first place, if l we're to give his name it

Waiting the postman's shrill,

A Den of Sea Lions.
From the Santa Barbara Press. !

In among the ragged rocks, over
which the waters laziIy dashed them
selves into froth and foam, LARGO rowed
us. We looked up N awe and wonder
at the dark black rocks, upon whose
highest points could be distinctly seen
the nests and the maternal portion of
the eagle families who reside there.
Through narrow pass between these
rocks and we are now in a rOck-enclosed
basin almost beneath the precipitous
cliff of the main island. A pile of
smoOthy-washed stone afforded a land
ing place and we were at the mouth of a
cavern and near tunnel worn by the
waters through mass of rock. A rail-
road train could pass through this tun-
mel at low tide; at high tide 1t is sacred
to the wild waves and breakers. To the
right there is a den, and such den, too.
Here were seen 200 little sea lion pups
or cubs rolling or tumbiing over the
rocks, wholly unconscious Of our pres
ence. Il was not until shot had been
fred and rocks thrown at them that the
large sea lions became alarmed, They
we're not brave and made DO attempt to
protect their young. On the contrary,
as soon as they saw US looking in their
nursery they gave loud barks, enorts or
1oars and veddeep into the water. which
rose and fell in foamy breakers at the
mouth of the cave. A hundred
could have been caught with ease, so stu
pid did they appear to be.
A second visit TO the den by other
members of the party resulted in the
capture of two of the young sea lions or
seals. A little boy, 10 years of age,
named Ernest Whitehead, ambitious to
own sea lion cub, followed NJ. Seely,
of Goleta, into the 'den. He at once
threw himself, upon young cub, almost
as large as himself, wrestled with it in
an att nped to force it into a sack and,
as he 10 Vi into the water with his fnny
antagonist, he cried Justify for help and
larger sack. With the assistance Of
Mr.. Seely the fellow secured a captive
cub and brought it to the sloop, where
he shed his vet clothes and lay basking
on the sunny deck until his clothes
dried. He had got his sea lion pup.

him - said Sukey. And her looking
so pretty with her eyes all afre. It was
lucky for him he did not have to go out
again. He couldn't have done thing.
l never did see a man so overcome"
When Uncle Jack was again in Hell
delberg Margery told him the story of
the circus man and the rose.
81 couldn't keep it," said Margery.
{" I knew Frau Morgenstern would have
scOlded, but just then / wanted to give
that clown everything I had in the
world. What made me feel so, Uncle
Jack [ didn't know him. You are
not angry?" asked Margery; for Uncle
Jack had turned away his head; but
probably that was only to look at the
yellow kitten playing in the grass.
Then came more happy school days,
the happy six months in the house with
the balcony looking toward the castle,
and the happy wedding with the spring
blossoms and the pansy-decked brides
maids at the church of the Holy Three
Kings.
Robert Brown lives sometimes in one
European city, sometimes in another,
working in the hospitals and advancing
in his profession. When Margery ' fin

ished with his business" as he had
promised himself that Easter afternoon
at ST. Pauls. Neither Margery, nor
Frau Zip, nor Sophia, nor even Robert
Brown ever knew that John Sherman,
professor Of gymnastics in one of the
English colleges, was once Timothy
Twycrass, world-renowned clown and
tumbler of the Royal London Circus.
