So With the World.

/ saw young babe in its cradle. 1t
smiled in It's sleep, and the mother knelt
and kissed its soft cheek and prayed
God that her baby boy might live to
good old age. 1t opened its eyes and
smiled, and the children softly whis-
pered to each other: ssSee! The angels
have been talking to him, and he is
glad!"
saw youth as he looked longingly
up the path leading to fame and glory.
There was proud fash in the faith
er's eye as he saw the boy come and
90, and the mother looked after HIM
with swelling heart and whispered a
prayer to Heaven to keep her boys
footsteps from wicked paths.
saw young man as he stepped over
the threshold and met the grim world
with a smile of sef-reliance.
The father was now wrinkled and
gray, but there was fonder fash to
his eye as he listened to the applause of
the multitude. The mother was aged
and feeble, and tears came to her eyes
as she murmured: "He is moving the
hearts of thousands by his eloquence,
but pray thee, D, Heaven, to keep him
pure of heart and free from stint" The
children who had whispered before
were no longer children. They had
also grown to mans estate. Some
joined in the applause some felt
malice and envy commanding them to
silence.
I saw strong man in his prime. He
had fame and wealth, a loving wife,
happy children, beautiful home. Men
bowed before him. Men fattered him
His voice echoed over the land and stir
red the pulses in city and hamlet.
The father and mother we're dead,
and their last prayers had been for
him. He stood alone, but he had the
support of nation and the homage of
a world. So it seemed to him, but
down in their hearts men feared and
envied and hated him.
I saw an old man as winters night
settled gloomily down over the DESC
late land.
He was cid and weak and hungry
and poor. He was thinly clad, and he
shivered in the raw air. He stood al
the corner, his trembling hand held
out in mute appeal to the passers-by,
but no one gave him aims. Some had
their vision blinded by the falling
flakes-others Knocked at and cursed
him. For a long hour he hungered
and shivered and asked only for what
would buy crust of bread, and then
he bowed his head still lower and
dragged himself further away into the
bitter darkness. And men called after
him in heartless tones: ssThe county
house is the place for beggars!"
1 saw stiff, frozen corpse at the
morgue.
1t was that of an old man. There
were snow and frost in the gray locks
the thin fingers were Glen ched-the
tears had frozen as they welled up to
the poor old eyes. They had found
him dead on the street-dead and
frozen. A shadow stood beside the
marble slab-it bent over and kissed
the cold cheek-it sobbed and grieved
as only a mother grieves, and we
seemed to hear the words:
'sThis was the babe in its cradle
the youth painting for renown-the
young man winning his first crown
! the strong man at whose feet the ma
ton bowed like slaves-this was my
son!"
And men handled the poor old body
as if 1t were faggot, and they MOCK
lngly cried to each other:

feld-and tomorrow we forget that he

of people were talking and laughing
the hour of afternoon had brought
them to the honse. In the midst of a
small crowd of gentlemen stood the
little lady; evidently she was a favor
lite. Herbert quietly passed the group,
looking the other way the while. He
entered the hall, and finding a waiter,
asked for the Princess Droguca. He
was shown into drawing room.
Two minutes later the little lady
came in and looked at him with some
surprise. s'You have asked for meP''
she said ssyou know my name."
The awful truth flashed upon him.
For one wild moment he thought of
sinking his identity-of escaping with
out telling her who he was. But he had
not time to think it out--he was con-
fused ,stammered something and then,
in despair, handed her his mothers
note. She opened it deliberately, read
it at q glance, and threw it carelessly
on the table. He fancied his doom was
sealed took up his hat and prepared to
go. But he felt he ewed it to himself
to apologize; he did so, profusely.
She interrupted him with her slight
shrlll voice, looking straight at hill
with those plaintive blue eyes, which
were 80 full of candid hunger for adj
miration.
"What are you apologizing so much
forP" she said. cit is the first compli-
ment your family has ever paid me!
Come into the other room l must have
some tea. - @
She put her hand on his arm and led
him away. For the first time in his life
Herbert was at loss what to say or what
to do. But at last he succeeded in tax

The pay.train stopped at Willow Bend to pay the railroad hands, and to liqui- date claims for cattle on the track in that section. A gaunt, hungry looking granger stepped up to the smart young man who was dispensing the cash in the rear end of the car.
 "Got my name on your books, mister P
 "How should know unless you tell me your name2"
 "Kerrect yon are. You have got the edge on me there. We'll, my name is Rufus McConkey."
 "Yes," said the young man, referring to his books; "Mr. McConkey, have got you down for hog"
 "Have me down for hog, have you ? Well, I'll have you down for half an hour, and I'll be on top of you, maxim it sorter excitin' to you, if you don't revise that expression. Now, say after me ::
