THE DREAHII.AND SHEEP: a
CHARM.

When, tossing on your restless bed,
You cannot fall asleep,
Just rcsolutely close your eyes,
See field path before you rise,
And call the dreamland sheep.
They come, they come hurrying crowd,
Swift-bounding, one by one;
They reach the wall in eager chase
The leader finds the lowest place;
They cross, and ON they run.
Oh many times on sleepless nights
/ watch the endless throng
Their pretty heads, their wooley backs,
As crowding in each others tracks
They press the race along.
At the wall-gap, each plants its feet
On one stone standing still;
Makes its small leap like those before,
Then with its mates score after score,
Goes scampering down hill.
/ try to count them, but, each time,
Lose reckoning at the wall.
They come from where the gray mists
Blend
In mists they vanish at the end,
With far, faint bleat and call.
OFF drop the daytime cares. Away
The nervous fancies fall
And peacefully | fall asleep,
Watching the pretty dreamland sheep
Crowd through the dreamland wall,
Mary l.. b. Branch, in 81. Nicholas fo

Some NicknamCs.

OF sarcastic nickname there are
scores Of instances in history and
biography. The eminent Doctor
Aberncthy, Of London, wrote a book
called Surgical Observations" and
f:om his invariable habit of advis-
ing his patient to read it, Admiral
Vernon, because of his custom of
wearing "Grogram" cloak in bad
weather, was called cold Grog." 1t
was this same Admiral Vernon, by
the way, who instituted the custom
of serving out mixture of spirits
and water to the seamen of the
royal navy, beverage which they
called "grog," in memory of its
originator. Talleyrand, the French
statesman, who was famed alike for
his wit and sarcasm, was at one
time Bishop Of Autun, and his
many enemies jocularly spoke
him as ellis Irreverent Reverence. .
Lindley Murray, by a similar play
on words, was facetiou2ly called the
"Ungrammatical Grammarian."
In 1879, a few students in the old
English university Of Oxford form
ed themselves into club, pledged
themselves to closer observance of
college discipline than had prevailed
before that fine, and aferward uni
ted in works of practical piety and
| bcnevolcnce.
They were the objects of the un-
sparing ridiculc of both students
and tutors, and were dubbed in de-
rision "The Holy Club" "Bible
Moths" and "Biblc Bigots." But
what incensed their lawlcss fellow
students most was their strict attcn-
ton to the rules laid down by the
university authorities and so, to
express their hatred and contempt
they called them "Mcthodists." This
name stuck, and the "club proved
TO be the germ of one Of the great
est modern religious denominations.

How 10 Address the President.

1t was not at all strange that,
after their sad experience under
monarchical rule, the early Amcri-
cans should have dislilcd every
thing that savored of royalty. Not
only was this spirit shown in attacks
made upon peculiar courtliness of
fashion affected by u portion of
society. but it found expression in
Constitution itself. 1t was distinctly
provided that
No title Of nobility shall be granted by
the United States:
and an instance of the popular feel
ing on this subject and the peculiar
tiles of the two Houses, is presented
by the proceedings of the First
American Congress.
Thcquestion was raised as to what
titles it will be proper to annex
to the offices of President and Nice-Pres-
iient of the United States if any other
than those given in the Constitution?
and this matter was deemed of
su M io;o,,t ir,,,ortoroo 20 ,oo,;,.o 40
attention of Joint committee Of both
Houses. This committee reported
that the President should be address
ed as Ills EXcellency." The sena-

MY SECRETARY.

My uncle and ! had been co-work
crs of a weekly journal, Of which he
ruled the roost in town, and | more
humbly undertook the country
branch, and obeyed his bchests
down in Liverpool. had only
seen him very occasionally, for
though he was reported to be as
kind as he was eccentric, we did
not pull very well together. Hence
my grief at his deccasc was deep
enough to be respectable, and having
installed our chief clerk at Liver
pool, | chccrIully came up TO the
London office as my unclc's sole
heir This identical morning, on
which | was rolling downward in Il
Fulham bus, was the first on which
! was going regularly to work.
There were eleven Of us inside,
and when the conductor gave us Il
hasty survey, and then opened the
door, am sure there was not one
among us who did not sincerely
hope that the new conner might
prove Il tolcrably slim man. In
stead of Il man it was Il girl.
She slipped into the vacant place
and then we We're off again. Sht
was particularly nice girl. He
hair was yellow, her lips were red
and her eyes were blue, and such (
vivid little bit Of coloring was quit
Il relief after the stolid monotony O
the bearded faces round her. He
ulster was thin and worn, and he
gloves were a miraculous proof q
how much darning one pair coul,
stand; but it was neither her prett
face nor her shabby clothes that al
tracted me. No; it was her ow
! exceeding happiness. She wa
childishly happy almost idiotica
ly so, l thought at last, for ther
she was, with her big eyes sparl
ling with fun, and the dimplt
playing at hide-and-seek round he
mouth. What on earth was sh
thinking about? She could ..c
have been more than nineteen or s.
and carried with her roll of mani
script in business-like sort of wa
as if the document were her own.
When | was put down in Fiji
street, | noticed that she, too, le
the omnibus, but was not prcpa
ed to see her precede me into &
office and vanish up the stairca,
All my life | had nourishcd a spt
ial detcstation for writing womel
so it was with II considrral
amount of anger that | turn
e, round on old Jones, who had Il SC
a. a.. in the lower room, and asked hi
NJ who was the lady who had il
passed me.
:. Old Jones was my unclc's fo
! man-an ancient highly-rcspec
y bic, not ot.to-hc-got-rd-of sort of
man, who had come into the off
at such remote date that it W
lost in the midst Of the Mid,
:. Ages.
Lady !" echoed the foreman.
oh yes, to be sure. | beg p
don sir, but for the moment
thought you meant someone W
letters or manuscript, and they
ways come in here. If she W.
straight upstairs it was Miss Cha

"What does she want and whC
she ?" | asked 4: and if old 10,
had thrown Il thunderbolt by "
of answer, | could not have b,
more astounded than | was by
reply.
"She is your secretary" he sal
., "My secretary~ l exclain
:, "Good Heavens! l won't have
,,,o girl for a secretary"
"You must" said old Jones,
then he proceeded TO explain.
