She was slight and eirlish-lookiug, with a
comical affectation of motherllness which made
her dart after her blue-eyed three-year -old girl
whenever the little thing came within even ten
feet of the edge of the deck. He was evidently
not far past his majority, and divided his time
between tightly twisting slight mustache and
proudly watching the frelics of his child and his
girl-wife
They were on the upper forward deck of one
of the iron steamboats, going down the bay to
Coney Island in the afternoon, and the other
passengers near them forgot to read the after
noon papers or the latest tips on the races while
they listened TO the prattie of the child.
AS the boat was passing Robbins Reef. the
little girl, who hadgbeen dancing around on one
foot and calling to the gulls that were float
ing overhead, suddenly uttered piercing scream
that made her mothers face grow pale. Then
she turned, buried her head in the maternal lap,
and began to weep as if her heart was already
broken. All the ladies on the deck gathered
around her and helped the frightened mother try
to find the wicked pin that must have buried
itself to the head somewhere in the child's body,
while the father forgot to twist his mustache
and looked on helplessly.
But not pin was to be found
Not for several minutes could the little one be
induced to raise her head but finally she showed
her flushed and tear-streaked countenance.
All the ladies asked at once what was the
matter.

its career with library which was part of the
bequest from John Harvard, but in 1764 fire

Yale College began its collections in 170G and

Benjamin Franklin and his friends in 1871.
This library has now over 100, 900 volumes, and
in some respects is unsurpassed by any other
collection of books in the country. Its income
is about $26, 900 year, of which a third only is

after he had wearied the dozen more gentle
men sitting around with his loud and incessant
gable. He had hauled his chair about the room,
delivering his ideas at the closest obtainable
range. and was just closing the list upon
demure-looking gentleman buried studously in
a newspaper. The quiet man had lost his right
arm, and wore a false, goved hand The
nuisance planted his chair Immediately in front

harangues. The annoyance was tolerated for a
few minutes, when, with stealthy movement,
the quiet man unfastened the attachments of the
false arm, and it dropped to the floor. The gar

with feigned horror, his victim started to his
feet, exclaiming: MAN, You have ruined me-

The blue, blue sky above,
The blue blue water under,
Two eyes more blue, and heart that's true
And a boat to bear me with my love
To lands of light and wonder
The sunny fields around,
The river riprling by us,
smile more bright than MONDAY light
Our brows with meadow garlands crowned,
And never care to try us.
Adrift with the tide
A Wind that whispers greeting
An isle of rest in the faded west
With only the waves on the shore beside
And two hearts fondy beating
