A fair child's face, like a glimpse of dawn,
Tossed me a smile and a dimple gay,
With a cluster of daisies and theE was gone
To join her friends in innocent play.
Once and again she came my way
And a floral tribute laid at my feet,
Fitted and yearned to be away,
Chasing the minutes with pleasures fleet
My dear one, in thee are flowers rare!
EMBODIED with every radiant hue,
Whose sweet perfume no soul can spare,
They're longing to blossom, my dear, in you.
Bring lily fair from purity't throne,
A real rose and u violet blue,
And Irvine garland fecked and flown
With obesance sweet and humility true.
Compare thy tone to the nightingale's song,
Unclosc thine eyes with the same soft light,
That makes the gaZelle 10 love belong
Compare thine aim to the eagles flight,
Moving onward and upward in free domain,
answering and true in thy silent life,
Till thy heart unfolds on bOundless plain
OF devotional love that knows no strife, .

quarreling:
"You are all colo, to say the lest of

"And you are all seeds and rinds -
retorted the Cucumber.
"That's all right, coming from a
little fellow like YOU"
Little! what's your size, when a
man has had to plug you to see if you
were ripe? I'd rather be a ripe Gu
cumoer than an overgrown green

"Come, now, what's all this row
about?" queried the stand keeper, as he
finished selling quart of strawber-
ries.

A TROUBLESOME BEE.
1t CauseS a Commotion in a Barber
Shop.

A little yellow busy bee, which had
been loafng the greater portion of the
day around the strip bottles in neigh
boring soda shop, CHANGED to stroll
into shaving-saloon on Common
street, and in a very short time proved
that g. small thing can cause d great
deal of trouble.
While the German proprietor of the
barber shop was shaving a fat man,
and saying, ut vas a warm day, and
if it don't get co~ler We melts," the
bee came and buzzed around the ear
of the fat man. who became nervous
and slapped at ii furiously. Then the
bee scared around in a short Gil Gle,
and endeavored to make landing
and rest on the German BARRIERS nose,
who in turn wiped the air with both
hands in a foolish attempt to kill the
annoying insect, bu. the bee darted
at him and he lodged behind the chair
and yelled to the shop boy. Hans,
come here right away and make de
bee go away" Hans obeyed instruc-
tons, and seeing the bee humming
lazily around, he opened on it with a
wet towel and the first swash he made
knocked a couple of globes off the
gas fixtures, and the bee retaliated by
singing him on the lip. This excited
Hans, who charged around the shop
after the bee, and worked his towel
SO vigorously that he succeeded III
whacking every customer that occupi
ed chairs, and caused an irate French
man to exclaim: ''Sacre! what for
yoe beet me when you knock at ze
lcetle bug. Aha by gar. don't do Eat
some more"
About this time the bee, who should
have been employing his time sucking
flowers, saw that he had stirred up the
shop. SO he few along the line of

THE FUNNY MANS BABY.

The funny man went to his desk to write,
He had watched all day. he would write all
night
And finish his work, so he trimmed the light.
Ii.
In the room adjoining his baby lay,
And they said she was slowly passing away,
And would die ere the light of another day.
Ill
So he wrote with his heart in the other room,
And thought of the babe going out in the gloom
To the shadowy land beyond the tomb.
".
Tt was hard to write with death so nigh,
But he ground out jokes as the hours went by,
And closed each page with grief born sigh.
V.
1t was hard to write, but the world must laugh,
So he penned the rhyme and the paragraph
And even a humorous epitaph!
VI
His pen flew fast and the hours went on
Till the night Of toll was almost gone,
And the east showed the first faint streak of
dawn.
Then he dropped his pen and raised his head;
Now the column is finished the funny man
said
And the nurse, coming in, said THE baby is
dead.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
A VeraciOus History eff the Phf1oss-
pher--His Greatest Discovery.

Bill Nye in Boston Globe
Benjamin Franklin, formerly Of
Boston, came very near being an
only child. If seventeen children
had not come to bless the home of
BenjamiS Franklin's parents they
would have been childless. Think of
getting up in the morning and picking
your shoes and stocking from seven
teen pairs of them Imagine your
self a child, gentle reader. in family
where you would be called upon
every morning to select your own cud
of spruce gum from collection of
seventeen similar cuds stuck on the
window sill And yet B. Franklin
never murmured Or repined. He de-
sired to go to sea, and to avoid this he
was apprenticed to his brother James,
who was a printer. It is said that
Franklin at once took hold of the
great Archimedean lever and jerked
it. early and late in the interest of
freedom. It IS claimed that Franklin
at this time invented the deadly
weapon known as the printers towel.
He found that 2 common crash towel
could be saturated with glue, molasses,
an1imony, concentrated I've, and
roller composition, and that after
few years Of time, and perspiration 1t
could harden so that the Constant
Reader" or ''Veritas" could be stabbed
with it and die soon.
Many believe that Franklin's other
scientific experiments were productive
Of more lasting benefit TO mankind
than this, but I do not agree with
them.

fell from his place in the rigging.
There was not q breath of wind, moth,

long could we hold out? Where were
we? How long would the ship last be,
fore she broke upf Would it be by
drowning or by freezing? We asked
ourselves these questions again and
again, but there was no answer.
Death stared us in the face; we seems
ed 10 live ages of agony in every
nainute-and yet, will you believe me,
that all seemed little in comparison
to the thought that after all the strug-
giles and the sorrows, after all those
ten long weary years, held my girl
IN my arms at last!
She had pulled one corner of the
cloak around my neck Il stood on a
level just below herr, and her hand
lay there With lit was the hand that
warmed me more than the cloak-and
her cheek rested against my own.
Often I thought it's coldness was the
GOODNESS of death, and almost exulted

murmur Of the prayers she was utter>
ing for us both, and know that life
was there still, and hope lived too.
Well, we'll! Why should I dwell
on such horrors, except to thank the
mercy that brought us through them

that Winny was the first to recover,

Upon my word. now you ask. [ can't
remember that [ ever did. That
seemed utterly unnecessary, some
how. Caste distinctions look small
enough when you have been staring
death in the face for few hours; and
words were not much needed after we

largest builders turned out 1,346
locomotives, while the same builders

building shops in this country, and in
these shops, as near as can be learned,
the total number of locomotives built
in 1884 was 1921, about 100 of which
were for expectation. The most trust.
