How coachmen Learn to Love.

"Will You tell me what relations
exist between the coachmaE and his
mistress ~ ventured to ask Of a
Long Branch hotel keeper.
He looked thoughtfully for awhile,
md then said: Very naturally q
slight intimacy, if can so express
it, must exist between them. For
instance, she will say to him, James,
saddle my bay mare at nine in the
morning, and come along yourself
ON Kate, as l wish to go for gal
lop into the country. Promptly at
nine James is at bis mistress cottage
with his orders obeyed to the letter.
Very frequently James is obliged to
help my lady to the saddle. He
catches her tenderly about the waist,
and is Obliged to place her dainty
foot in the stirrup, she in the mean.
time smiling, not, perhaps, because
James touched her tiny foot, but be-
cause her young heart is leaping
with joy at the prospect OF a dash
over the adjoining fields. While
riding, II she sees anything to adj
mire she viii ask James his opinion
OFF James is bound to agree with
her, and, Of course, she is pleased.
And so 1t goes OIL until James has
been in her service for year OF two,
by which time the intimacy between
them is greater in many respects
than my lady and some of her
beaus.n
Sand it is in this way that love
between coachman and keiresses,
which afterward resulted in el0pe-
ments, beganf 7" ! asked.
"Precisely,r he replied and then,
BY the way Of explanation, said:

markablef Are We not of the same
blood and nature as our mattresses ~

A Little West Virginia Girl.

Joaquin Miller, the poet and nov
elist, has been down in the West
Virginia mountains, and lie writes
| to the New York STR:
A little virgiman climbed up the
steps like little pet squirrel; she
was just as risky; her hair as black,
bushy and abundant; her eyes as
bright and many times as large ard
beautiful. All, ME my heart went
to pieces at once. She was only q
dozens years old and yet was wo-
man. But she thdn't know itat all;
she didn't dream of such thing.
And that is what made her so ten
fold formidable. ! gave her my seat
in the crowded car, and she thanked
me with sach promptus aud grace,
such precision Of silent, good taste,
that wanted to stand there before
her and wait all the day of my life
for her to speak. But she never
spoke. Her hair was all tumbled
about, her dress was torn badly, her
small dimpled hands were brown
and brier-torn. Pretty soon she
dived her left hand into her pocket,
threw back her hair with her right
hand, and so began to crack a lot of
chestnnts with the whitestset ofteeth
and the reddest lips you ever looked
at. Dear, lovely little girl. She
was the daintest bit of nature | have
seen this side of Oregon. And al
though never shall see her again
I venture my life that she is OF the
best blood in the land, one of the
ruined families of the war; pitiful
little waif, whose valiant people went
down to battle aud never came back
to her mother and mothers mother
any more. And when contrast
ner wild refinement to the big footed
yulgarity 10 lace aud diamond con.
SANITY encountered in New York, |
again fall to thinking, and thinking
Of the strange mutation in this up

A GOOD CRITIC.

Dennecker, German sculptor,
worked two years upon statue OF
Christ, then he called little girl in
to his studio, and pointing 10 the
figure, asked:
:. Who is THAR
:Some great man." answered the
child.
The artist simply said: 81 have
failed ; / will begin anew
He worked six years, and then
again brought the same maiden to
his studio.
"Who is it now ~ he asked.
She gazed at the statue long and
silently. Then bowling her head and
with tears in her eyes answered:
:. It is He who SAIL Suffer little
children to come unto me-'u
The sculptor laid aside his chisel
He knew his statue was a success

Ha-ha! Be quick, my menln he cries
: The way is rough, the point is long
And yet beyond, the harbor lies,
Push on. though wind and tide b

: Now tack again Her canvas loose,
And give her every inch of sail
The lighthouse past, beyond is home
Alas alas We try-but fail !''
: Once more, away we dash, away!
Now luff-a-lee, huff round, ho-ho
Hard, hard-a-lee. Hurrah Hurrahl
For round the ragged point we go!"
The surging waves around the bow,
The sails above that straining swell,
Each creaking spar and whistling rope.
They seem to cry, Ais we'll. All's
well
O, souls on board, you may not know
What eyes afar are watching you,
Who. seeing all you dare aud dc,
Will boldly push the waters through.
And ye who breast the gales of life,
What hearts you cheer, you never
Fail not Sail on They follow you
As round the ragged point you go.

POETRY.
our BABY.
BY FRANCIS DoRR SWIFT.

Golden hair, blue eyes,
Blue as any summer skies,
Dimpled chin, rosy cheek,
Little tongue that cannot speak.
That's our baby
She sometimes says, "Ah goo. and ''gal'
And soon she Ii learn to say papa;
She is yet far too young to talk,
And it will be long before she IL walk.
That's our baby
Troubled thoughts ne'er cross her brain
She sleeps, then wakes, then sleeps again.
She's just as cunning as she can be,
And SO we love her, don't you see?
She our own darling baby.
