tiny sprite Of a thing, with tender
innocent eyes, which looked, in hel
pretty, baby face, radiant with al
pure thoughts-was
THE INCARNATION OF MISCHIEF,
Whilst her companion, little older
a little graver, fairly reveled in the
abandon Of the time and place. Some
thing was finally said that upset the
brown-eyed gentleman, and he and
the older Of his companions INDUCED
in war Of words, which judging by
the curl of her lip and the flash of
her gray eyes, was very personal.
The fairy with the great, soft orbs,
looked as demure and as dangerous as
a little tigress. One could fancy the
sharp claws under the delicate gloves.
THEIR FACES GROW FLUSHED
With something besides wine, and
two policemen quietly drew near and
watched the proceedings. Something.
especially aggressive on the part Of
the brown-eyed, red-lipped gentleman
gray-eyed little demon at his side
with one sweep Of her hand sent her
wine onto the floor. The policemen
thoughtfully drew step nearer, and
a party Of men at a neighboring
table, put down their glasses and
curiously watched the scene. By and
by the gentleman arose, and after a
few moments earnest talk at his
comrades, while the officers drew
quietly nearer and began looking
ominously businesslike, the whole
party left the hall. Those were
RESPECTABLE PEOPLE,
Society people in certain and reput-
able sense, and would have been COW
cred with shame to have seen another
as drunkenly oblivious to surround
ings as were they. At another table
respectable-looking working girl
was half lying in the lap of a simper-
ing. foolish lout, who was too drunk
to tell the lighted end Of his cigar,
save by burning his ha'ting tongue.
Across the way dapper, eye-glassed
clerk twined his arm round the waist
Of a buxom fraulein, and looked up
into her face with the licentious long
ing of fool in his cups The police
put out party Of roisterers who
were amusing themselves by upsetting
beer over each other, and to the strains

Prophesies.

Sometime you will look back to these bright days
With fearful eyes,
And think of all our quiet, happy ways
With sobs and sighs.
You will remember how we read orstalked
In this dear room;
Or, summer evenings how rode or walked
Thro' fragrant gloom.
Sometimes alone, or In a busy throng
Again will ring
Soft, clear and sweet, an echo Of some song
We used tn sing;
And Oft, awake or sleeping, You'll recall
This coy room
Books, music, cen the pictures on the wall
And flowers In bloom.
You will remember every tender word
You've said TO me.
The knowledge that you've spoken no harsh word
VIII comfort thee.
Somtime you'll weep and pray, but all in vain
As far you roam,
For one short hour TO rest from grief and pain
In this sweet home.
Dear heart, grieve that must leave thee here
To walk alone;
But sometime we shall find each other there
Around the throne,

PREFERS BAYARD 10 CLEVELAED.

From The York sun THd)
Between Thomas +. Bayard and Grover Cleveland
we say emphacay that Bayard ought TO be preferred
whether we are seeking candidate for the Presidency
or q man to discharge any other great and moment0us
trust, public private serious attempt appears To
have been made of late TO deery Mr. Bayard account
of certain Old speeches Of his delivered fifteen or
twenty years ago There Is nothing in these speeches
that has any reference 10 the affairs of the present day
All that people of the present time need desire To no"
about them Is that they tearesSy set forth the Ideas
and Wishes of their authort that period and that they
evnce that moral courage which Is one Of the highest
qualities of public man. Ii seems very absurd AZ
time when the most eminent Conederates IRE holding
Offices of immense power and Importance under the
Government when they figuring with such distlnc-
ton and Of them with such patriotic usefulness ss
Senators and Representatives, that an able and ex
perienced statesman like Mr Bayard should be ruled
out Of the Democratic National Convention, not Dy any
allegation that he Confederate HIMSELF or that
he sympahzed with the purposes Of the Contederates
in the civil war; but solely by the circumstance that IN
public speeches twenty years ago he said things
which Horace Greeley and Abraham Lincoln also said
at the same time but which, il Is thought, might
be empoved by Mr. Blaine and his followers points
of attack against Mr. Bayard If he at the head Of
the Democratic ticket
We would also record here our earnest conviction
that Mr. Bayard would be far stronger candidate
than Governor Cleveland in the State Of New-York
well as elsewhere. Cleveland is deservedly weak
candidate among Democrats, because he has followed
h own selfish purpose by undertaking to rule without
