Mr.. Holman's Kind Heart.
Washington Critic.

Washington Critic.
For three years past there has been little
crippled fellow named Wilson about the Capitol.
Heiseonly fourteen fifteen years old He
tried for two years unsuccessfullyto geta, posi-
ton as page in the House. He could get moth
ing. At the opening Of the last session Mr..
Holman, of Indiana, took the case up. And Mr..
Holman, on account of his economic character,
has not much influence with the powers that ap-
point to places in the House. He could not get
the boy place But he put 'in a resolution di-
recting the Docrkeeperto employ young Wilson
as a page
The resolution went through and the boy was
employed. But he was not allowed to go on the
floor. Mr.. Holman put him to work as
ssistant door-keeper, the House, committee on
appropriations There he staid during the last
session But this session Willie Wilson found
his occupation gone. Mr.. Holmauis resolution
to give the boy employment did not, technically,
cover both sessions, Willie Wilson was left
out.
To-day Mr.. Holman, by unanimous consent,
introduced resolution providing that the boy
shall be employed during the remainder of this
Congress. The resolution was referred to the
committee on accounts. Mr.. Holman is a pref
ty good fighter and he will. in all probability,
be successful in this .laudable endeavor.

able girls with a dowry, from that and neighbor-

in rows. Naturally enough all of them are
anxious to win a sutton; they therefore vie with

out from under her dress; third 'bares

the footway of the bridge and examine the eligi-
bic girls. They, too, are at great pains to make
the best possible impression-this one curling an
incipient mustaehe, that one throwing back his
thick locks, and others, again, walking to show
off their upright bearing When one of them
fancies one of the girls he steps up to her and
offers his hand to help her to aight from the
parapet If he is to her taste she takes the
proffered hand, jumps down, and negotiations at
once begin with the parents standing by. Should

The Well-Dressed Man.


The golden rule in dress is to keep clear Of
extremes. The well-dressed man never wears
anything striking or peculiar. and his garments
areyalways of the best material, one suit that
cost $50 being preferable to two suits that cost
S25 each-and the tailor's risk, it will be OBJ
served, lis justlthe same in both cases. We are
bound to add, however that the gentleman who
has but one suit instead of two, cannot escape
embarrassment when it comes to sending his
trousers to the shop for the purpose Of having
the wrinkles pressed out of them. The proper
cut for coat and vest is that which makes them
fit snug around the waist and loose over the

every turn that he will net only look better but

If there was ever a boy in danger of being
spoiled" IT was the youngest son Of President
Lincoln. He was foolishly caressed and petted
by people who wanted favors of his father and
who took this way of making a friend in the
family, and he was living in the midst of most
exciting epoch in the eountrys history, when a
boy in the White House was in a strange and
somewhat unnatural atmosphere. But / am
bound to say that Tad, although he doubtless
had his wits sharpened by being in such strange
surroundings, was never anything else, while
knew him, but boisterous, rolicking, and alb
solutey real boy.
Great was Tad's curiosity, in 1864, 70 know
what was meant by the Presidents proclama-
ton for a day Of fasting and prayer. His in
quiries were not satisfactorily answered, but
from the servants he learned, to his great dis
may, that there would be nothing eaten in the
White House from sunrise to sunset on fast
day. The boy, who was blessed with a vigorous
appetite, took measures to escape from the rig
ors of the day 1t happened that, Just before fast
day came, the family carriage was brought
ont of its house TO be cleaned and put in order
Tad stood by, with feelings of alarm, while a
general overhauling of the vehicle went on, the
coachman busting, rubbing and pulling things
about, quite unconscious of Tad's anxious watch
on the proceedings Pretty soon, drawing out a
queer-lookng bundle from of the boxes
under the seat, the man brought to light the
part of loaf of bread some bits of cold meat
and various other fragments of food from the
larder. Tad, now ready to burst with anger and
Disappointment cried, 20, OF give that up, 1

from dread of going hungry, had cautiously hid
den from day today, a portion OF food against
the day of fasting, and had stood by while his
hoard was in danger, hoping that it might es-
cape the eyes of the servants.
He was sconsoled by promise1from his mother,
to whom he ran with his tale of woe. that he
should not suffer hunger on Fast Day, even
though his father, the President, had proclaimed
a day of fasting humiliation and prayer for all
the people.

THO Lark.
Vanity Fair.

The lark voice dies when fall the leaves,
And where were heaped the harvest sheaves
The criekets chirp the whole night long
The morning of the chilly day.
Through boding clouds breaks dim and gray
And wakes no burst of matin song
But in myriad lowly nests
Beneath a myriad pulsing breasts,
Through noontide heat and twilight dew
Life out of shapeless void took form,
That voices still through shine and storm
Might sing the mother song anew.
What matter if we hear them not
But lie in some still place forgot,
Dust erHnbling into older dust,
The song shall still make glad the earth
Life triumph over death through birth,
And doubt be satisfied in trust
