you OR II
BY MAMIE 8. PADER.

A gap in the crowd, and . moment we stand
Face to face and hand clasped in hand,
While your eyes, that are light with a soul
full beam,
Awaken in mine own an answering CLEAN
But a moment-then not knowing whittier
we're bound,
As the human tide that is surging around
Rolls between, we rush on with the hurrying
throng,
And our friendship is but forgotten song,
Sweet while 1t lasted, but soon forgot
A flower that has faded-a dream that is not.
A firmer hold, and a stronger clasp,
A kindlier smile, and heartier grasp,
And the crowd might have swept unheeded
by,
But who was to give it-you orI?
So sweetness is gone from our lives, and
the flower
Whose beauty has gladdened us many an
hour
Lies dead, and the dream that we might have
made true
Like shade has fled. Who is TO blame-I
you?
ALI the world is so wide, and, day by day,
We drift from each other still farther away
SO many around us with smiling applause
That seemingly safes US, we never pause
To think of friendship that might have
been,
Till world wide existence lies between,
And the tide has turned, and stranded alone
On the bare, bleak shore, we wearily moan
For the love we let pass " unheeded by;
Then who is the sadder-you orI?

1t Is not always an envisble thing to be
the hostess who "entertained distinguished
company last night and figures perennially
In the papers. The Twostars are parvsnus,
who have made great fortune, and set up
grand establishment-in Greenland, say
and this done, madame sat down before the
fortress, Society, determined TO hang her
banners on the outer wall, and fly her flag
over the citadel. She was, IL not lady, .
cleverly veneered imitation Of one; she had
ambition and tact and brains, but, alas! q
hos temper. Toward the close of her second
season, during which che had entertained
like . fairy princess, she determined to give
. grand ball. Hundreds of invitations were
sent out and accepted. An orchestra Of
eighty picked men was secured. A supper
worthy Of soysr or Vatel was ordered. An
army of fuukies, tons of flowers, bunting,
Chinese lanterns, etc., floors that were waIed
to perfection, electric lights, gas, wax lights,
produced brilliant ensemble, and mad2tIe,
In her Worth dress and all her diamonds,
was . chandelier.
Guests poured in, aud the rooms we're soon
filed; but, In spite of all her precautions,
the women somewhat outnumbered the men,
who grouped themselves about the door, and
looked blandly on at the rows Of girls In
pink and girls in blue that lined the walls
and the dancing which was going on In .
feeble way. Madame saw this would not
do. She approached the gentlemen.
"Let me introduce you TO Miss Blank,
that pretty girl in green over there. She
dances beautifully" she said to one of them.
"Thanks, but am not by way of dancing
tonight" he replied. at is so awfully
hot"
A second declined her proposal to 90 and
have an ice, on the ground that it was $50
awfully cold" A third was "not making
any acquaintsnces," and would not be pre-
sented to any Of the ladies. A fourth had
to bulge. A fifth "never ate anything after
dinner" "They all began with one accord
to make excuse" like the guests of the Bibli-
cal feast, but madame, instead of taking the
same revenge, grew furiously angry, and
stamping her foot, cried, "Then what the
devil did you come here for?"
This effected more than all her entreaties.
The men burst into q hearty laugh, and pro.
tested their entire willingness to do what
ever she pleased, were introduced, talked,
supped, danced, made themselves agreeable,
and the ball success. But the story was
an open secret; in twelve hours everybc iy
was talking Of 1t, Society was shocked be-
yond expression, and madame went abroad.

An Awful Scene.

An eyewitness to the great disaster on tho
Bradford, Bordell e. Kenzua Railrosd says,
at was the grandest and yet the most awful
scene that human eyes ever witnessed. For
q distance Of nearly half mile the roadbed
was covered with oil and paints. 1t was
over the rails, and the moment the gas came
In contact with the fre-box 1t exploded and
fred the oil. In less than one minute the
engine and cars were enveloped In flames,
great black pillars Of smoke ascended heaven
ward; the driving wheels Of the engine went
dashing along at the rate of forty miles IN
hour, scattered the oil over everything with
q rush and roar which might have been heard
for mile. The flames leaped fully $50 feet
ahead Of the locomotive, which wss thus
compelled TO run through veritsble sea OF
fire. II was terrible race, and the only
parallel / can remember 10 the oil train
which burned up nesr Brocktou, n. ", .

An Anscdote OF General sherman.



Many good anecdotes of Sherman were
current during the war. Some of them, he
once said, when they were brought to his
notice, had been told Of every General since
Hannibal. Here is one of unquestiouable
authenticity, which shows his sagacity In
dealing with the population of conquered
towns After be occupied Memphis the peo-
pie kept The churches, schools and places Of
business closed, SO that, save for the move
ments Of the soldiers, the place looked like
q city of the dead. He issued an order d.
recting that the stores and shops should be
opened during business hours, the schools
resume their courses, and the churches bold
their customary services. Among the peo-
pie who called st his headquarters TO protest
against this order, or 10 ask for explanations,
was the clergyman of an Episcopal church,
who said that the ritual of bis denomination
contained prayer for the President, which,
under the circumstances, embarrassed him.
"Whom do you regard As your Presiden.?'
asked Sherman, bluntly. "We look upon
Mr.. Davis rs our President" replied the
minister. "very we'll; pray for JEFF Davis,
IL you wish. He needs your prayers badly.
It will take great deal of praying to save
him." "Then I will not be compelled TO
pray for Mr.. Lincoln ?" "Oh, no; he's q
good man, and don't need your prayers. You
may pray for him II you feel like 1t, but
there's no compulsion," replied. Sherman,
instantly divining that the worthy clergy.
man wanted to pose IS q martyr before his
parishioners, and had hoped that he would
be ordered to use the prayer for the Presi.
dent of the United States. The next Sunday
the prescribed prayer was SO modified by the
preacher as TO leave out all mention Of the
President and refer only 70 call In author.

Leap Year Hints.
Idaho EnterDrise.

Girls only know one quarter as much about
courting As boys, because they have only one
year in four In which to practice.
As . matter nf course, leap year finds
them poorly prepared to "step in and win,"
and we will give few hints As to how 1t
should be done.
First fix up In style, black your boots
carefully, heels and all, and If the "shine"
don't come in hurry, sling the brush across
the floor into the corner, quoting what scrip
ture you happen to know.
Twill be big job to put on your collar
and necktie, and the chances are that there
will be more looking in the glass than in the
case Of fellow coming to see you.
Stroll down to the barber shop and get
shaved, and have the barber "oil up" freely,
otherwise all efforts to grease the wall paper
will be futile.
On the way to "his" house speak to all the
fellows you know this Is good way to pay
him back for flirting with the girls for three
years.
As you near the house, cross the street and
pass by 1t. 1t will give you chance to see
II the parlor Is lighted and to see II any other
girl Is calling.
II, when you step up and pull the door
bell, your heart Is not In your mouth, you've
struck the wrong house.
Inquire II the young gentlemen are in,
and don't forget to wear your hat, hang 1t up
on the floor or the piano, or some other
place.
Chew cloves assiduously during your call
otherwise "he' may think you hav, been
drinking.
If he Is . little blushing thing, talk about
the weather, his ma, his pa, and other dis.
tant subjects.
Ifhe plays and sings, stand up like little
man and turn the music-we don't refer to
an organette.
He'll probably yawn and cover up an i'm
msnse cape with his jeweled hand, but dom,
take the hint.
Playfully turn the gas down; be will prob.
ably say, "oh, you shouldn't" but rscolleot
how he "doused the glim" last year.
You don't need TO say much at this point.
Conversation Is apt to be nuisance at crit
ical juncture.
Previous experience will doubtless suggest
the course Of events for the rest of the even
ing.
When the old lady calls out, "It's ter
o'clock, don't mind it-wait till II or IL
In fact stay till you hear the milkman rat
tling his cans, .
Ask for match to light your cigar, lings
at the door half an hour longer, make hin
think that be 10 your own and only-and &C
to see another fellow next evening.

NO, THANK YOU, TOM.

They met, when they were girl and boy,
Going to school one day,
And won't you take my pegtop, dear"
Was all that he could say.
She bit her little pinafore,
Close to his side she came,
She whispered, "No! no, thank you Tom,"
But took 1t all the same.
They met one day, the selfsame way,
When ten swift years had flown;
He said, "I've nothing but my heart,
But that is yours alone.
And won't you take my heart ?" he said,
And called her by her name;
She blushed and said, "No, thank you Tom, =
But took it all the same.
And twenty, thirty, forty years
Have brought them care and joy,
She has the little peg-top still
He gave her when boy.
"I've had no wealth, sweet wife, says he;
"Pve never brought you fame"
She whispers, mo, no, thank you, Tom,
You've loved me all the same"
