Her Revenge.
Detroit Free Press.

As the car stopped at the opera-house cross
ing several men got in. lady was seated at
the front end. She had on a light wrap. bon
net which covered only four inches of her head,
kid gloves, and only bit of lace at her neck
The car windows were iced over and every
breath spun out half way across the car
Hanged if l amt nigh frozen said one of
the men in a big beaver overcOrt and fur-lined
overshoeS.
''Never felt the cold so in my life" added
another, whose clothing must have weighed
thirty pounds.
Bet you ten to one I've frozen my ears, said
a third, as he lifted OFF his sealskn cap and re
moved a heavy muller from his neck.
There were two other men, each having a
heavy overcoat mufier, overshoes, and warm
gloves, and yet they stamped their feet and
blew on their fingers, and declared that they
were freezing.
The lady sat there as calm and serene and as
warm rs toast She saw the men glaring at her
and wondered why on earth the marrow in her
bones didn't turn TO iccles, but she was not dis
turbed AS the last one settled back with Il
SILVER and a groan she pleasantly asked:
''Will one of you gentlemen please open the
door, It's hot enough in l'""e to fry fish"

Yes was wrong about the phoebebird
Two songs it has, and both of them I've heard:
did not know those strains of joy and sorrow
Came from throat that each note could borrow
Strength from the other, making one more brave
And one sad as raindrops grave
But thus it is. Two songs have men and maidens
One is for heyday. is sorrows cadence.
Our voices vary with the changing seasons
OF lfe's long year, for deep and natural reasons
Therefore despair not Think not you have altered
If at some time, the gayer note has faltered.
We God has made us. Gladness, pain,
Delight and death, and moods of bliss bane,
With love, and hate good and evil-all,
At separate times in separate accents call;
Yet It's the same heart-throb within the breast
That gives impulse to worst and best
doubt not when earthly cries ended,
The Listener finds them in one music blended

The West Winds Blowing.

A little bird few, and the wind blew west,
Tossing the handful of feathers down.
All! little one, pray, when you left the nest,
What did you seek in the dull old town9
The happy bird sang, the song guessed
81 spread my wings, and the wind knew best"
Gay buttercup lassies, curtseying low,
Daisy lips kissing your sunburnt check
So stately your lovers l fain would know
What sped the wooing-hoyden hearts, speak.
The buttercups nod, l know the rest
1--WE grew together, the wind blew west"
The wind is a truant blowing at will
Love is a rover, oft iourneying
But brave songs are thrilling 'er mead and hill,
Golden and sweet is loves Offering.
Two hearts lean over, the wind blows west-
Ali sweet one, say, does the wind know best9

One of the Trials of women in cities.
New York Letter in Boston Herald.


A venerable relative of nine almost seventy
years of age, accompanied bya girl of seventeen,
found herself Broadway after dark few
nights ago without cent. She had lost her
pocketbook, and neither she nor the young com
panion had money or acquaintance in that part
of the city. They entered one of our largest
to send note by district messenger to the
waiter approached. and the elderly lady was
about to ask him to furnish her with paper and
pencil and TO call messenger when he very POI
Itey said to her that she could not remain in
the saloon. why notr 1T is against our
rules, madame to allow ladies here
after dark" In vain she protested; in
vain she sent her card to the desk; in vain
she explained the circumstances under
which she was Unexpectedly there; his
orders, and those Of the woman at the desk
were Imperative, and they were turned upon the
street. If they had accOsted any one of the
hundreds of men passing up the street, and had
turned with perfect stranger, with the worst
possible intent back to that restaurant, they
would have been welcomed guests. Whyi Be
cause they would have had man with them.
What burlesque on civilization is this; what
an outrage on decency il is; what a world Of in
fanny it suggests, and yet | learned that that is
the rule not only in This restaurant which is
one of the best known in the country, but in all
the chief restaurants in the city. No mans
wife, daughter, or sister can obtain assistance
refreshment, or rest in public house in the city
of New York after dark unless she be attended
by an escort of the masculine persuasion. 1t is
very difficult for ladies to obtain accommodation
in amy of our hotels.

Said Christ our Lord II will go and see
How the men, my brethren, believe in me-"
He passed not again through the gate of birth,
But made himself known to the children of earth
Then said the chief priests, and rulers and kings,
"Behold now, the Oliver of all good things;
Go to, let us welcome with pomp and state
Him who alone is mighty and great
With carpets Of gold the ground they spread,
Wherever the Son of man should tread,
And in palace chambers lofty and rare
They lodged him, and served him with kingly fare.
Great organs surged through arches dim
Their iubilant floods in praise of him.
And in church and palace and judgment hall
He saw his image high over ALL
But STILL wherever his steps they led
The Lord in sorrow bent down his head
And from under the heavy foundation stones
The Son of Mary heard bitter groans.
And in church and palace and Judgment hall
He marked great assures that rent the wall,
And opened wider and yet more wide
As the living foundation heaved and sighed.
Have We founded your thrones and affairs, then,
On the bodies and souls of living menl
And think We that building shall endure
Which shelters the rich and brushes the poorf
with gates of silver and bars of gold
Ye have fenced my sheep from their fathers foldi
have heard the droppings of their tears
In heaven these eighteen hundred years"
30 Lord and Master. not ours the guilt,
We build but as our fathers built;
Behold thine images how they stand,
Sovereign and SOLE through all our land.
"Our task is hard-with sword and fame
To hold thy earth for ever the same,
And with sharp crooks of steel to keep
Still, as thou leftest them, thy sheep"
Then Christ sought out an artisan,
A low-browed stunted, haggard man,
And a motheress girl whose fingers thin
Pushed from her family want and sin.
These set he in the midst of them,
And as they drew back their garment-hem
For fear of defement, "Lo, here, said he

Lucy Hooper Tells Wherein the New PIaF
Differs from Real Life.


Differs from Real Life.
Letter in Phi adelphia Telegraph
l was pleased to learn of the success of Judge
Barretts play, AN American Wife" as it
touches upon a theme that cannot be brought
too wildly before the public, namely, the dan
gers attendant upon the marriages of American
girls with foreign nOblemen. But, so far as |
can learn from the newspaper criticisms the
Judge has made a singular error in the incident
which brings about the denouement of his play
If ] understand Alright the published synopsis Of
it, the American Wife" is released from her
matrimonial bonds by the discovery that her
French husband had previously been secretly
married to another woman. Now. such thing
as secret marriage Is not possible in France A
couple intending matrimony must be united
without the omission of a single detail in very
complicated formula, and must be married be-
fore the mayor if III France or before the nearest
French consul or ambassador if in a foreign
land, else the marriage is null and void. Too
many painful cases have come to my knowledge
wherein American girls have married French
men according to all the ceremOnials of
the Catholic Church and have come to
France only to be deserted so soon as their
fortunes were spent and their beauty
faded They had no redress; the laws of France
declared the marriage illegal and their children
bastards wish that some American dramatist
would write "A play upon the theme, which would
not only furnish opportunities for a striking
catastrophe, but would teach American women
a much-needed lesson to the formalities to be
observed when going through the ceremony of
marriage with a Frenchman. 1t is the same
with English girls-the laws of France acknowl-
according to their own DEGREES. SO Judge Bar
rett has let slip an opportunity for unraveling
the intricacieS of his plot in very realistic and
beneficial, as well as sensational, manner

Boston Lettor to tho American Qnoom.
A Boston girl of unusually ingenious manner
and frank nature has, we learn from the otEer

natural possessions and graccs. strong evidence
of diplomacy. A party of tourists, our sweet
Portia among them, entered morning the
private grounds of Mr. Gladstone, craving, of

statesman. Fortune smiled their wishes;
the coaehman spied the gentleman approaching
and so ebligin2ly and ostentatiously stopped
his horses that there was no alternative had he
indeed'wshed any, to the host advancing and
greeting his visitors
