This Little Hand.

This little hand, whose 6imples pout and plead
For every kiss my rapture can command
Comes coyly up to lips that ever need
This little hand
It utters like bird whose wings expand
For first uncertain flights from reed to reed,
Then nestles my oreast-its louisiana.
The nacreous CLEANS of finger tips exceed
The lights of summer sun on sea-kissed sand,
And dazzle fancy that is fam to lead
This little hand.

A Sad Case.

Late from the lodge the husband came
Late and with staggering step came he;
He found the door which bore his name
But found no keyhole for his key.
He dared not ring the luckless wight

SO he slept upon the Steps all night.
And the chill wind through his whiskers blew.

The Rivals.

Mine
The slender form and the tender face
The blissfur lips and the wistful eyes,
The hearts quick beat in the long embrace:
Oh! perfect and passionate gift of grace,
No rival may seek my prize.
She is mine alone to be casped and kissed,
To be held and loosed, to be loved for aye;
Though the King of Terrors my right resist
will hold him forever at bay.
Thine!
Thou didst accept the challenge, she is thine
Thy arms she faded into, out of mine
Thou hast the fair, sweet form to hold, to kiss,
To fold within thy harsh embrace, and this
For thee forever, nevernore for
Thine, thine, Death! through all ete0ity.
Thine? Mine
Yes, mine, not thine if she loved not thee;
If love be lacking thou canst not own;
Thou hast the flesh, but the soul is free,
And that loved me, and for me alone
Did it light the eyes, did it flush the face,
Flood the lips with kisses at loves decree,
Did it thrill the form in my close embrace,
But never, o Death! for thee.
Then she is not thine, and claim her still
BY the royal right of her sweet WILL
By the memories cinging about me here,
By the hope and the heaven that men hold dear,
BY the promise that. after the toll and the pain,
shall see her, and clasp her, and kiss her again

A Chinese Oath.

In a Mongol murder case in San
Francisco the following oath was
administered to each of the Chinese
witnesses
"This ia to inform the spirits of
the gods, also the evil spirits and
the demons, all to descend here to
hear, over see and examine into the
case of Wong All Foo, charged with
numbering Loi Alb Cow. If l come
here to swear profanely and tell the
untruth, or 10. according to the
facts of the case, l humbly beg the
celestial and terrestrial spirits to re-
dress Loi All Cows grievance and
to punish the false witness i'm
mediately and to arrest his soul.
May he die under sword, OF die
on the halfway OF the sea, al d
have no life to return to China.
This is the true and the solemn de-
claration OF oath sworn by own
mouth and signed by my name by
my own hand. Dated this-day,
second month, in the eleventh year
of Quong Sol"
1t is believed that all who take
this oath will testify truthfully, as
the Celestials belive that il they
should perjure themselves after
passing through the ceremony they
will die an everlasting death, and
that the gates of The Flowery King

Juvenile Immigrants.

up of Martha Koppel, aged T; Hana
Koppel, aged S, and 2-year-old
Katie Koppel. A big, bewhisker-
ed German picked up Katie and
set her upon one of his mighty
shoulders. Katie was delighted,
but Annie looked up in alarm and
cried to the big German
"Be careful, you will let the child
| fall"
"Never fear, little mother" said
the blg German, stopping down and
stroking Annie's hair with his dis
engaged halfd. The broad father
ly smile that shone through the
big Germans whiskers reassured
Annie, add she resumed her place
at the head of the line.
Annie stopped in front of the
receIding clerk and told him her
name and the names of the rest of
the procession. She showed tick
els to st. Louis, and said she was
going there to meet her mother.
How much money have you
got ?" asked the clerk.
"None," replied Annie.
"What are you and the babies
going to live on before you get to
St.Louis p
Annie said she thought st.
Louis was only little way from
Castle Garden and that she
wouldn't need anything until she
got there. Then she calmly asked
how much would be required to
feed "the children and me" until
they reached st. Louis. Somebody
said about 50. Annie corrugated
her white brow, thought mom-
ment and asked the clerk to lend
her 50, saying she would give him
receipt for it and send him the mon
ey when she got to her mothers.
The clerk gave her the money and
made out a receipt, to which she at
tached her signature in a clear,
business-like hand. She put the
money in her pocket, turned around
and smiled on her smaller compan-
ions, and said ''Come on, children"
and the procession moved on.
