Heart. Sad Heart.

Heart, sad heart for what are you pleadingl
The sun has set and the night is cold;
TO go on hoping over bold
Dead is the fire for want of feeding
Tears are keeping your eyes from reading
The old. old story, so often told.
Heart, sad heart, for what are you pleading!
The sun has set, and the night is cold.
The wind and the rain in the dark are breeding
Storms to sweep over valley and void,
Love, the outcast, with longing bold
Clamors and prays to power unheeding-
Heart, sad heart, for what are you pleadingl

Kissed and Robbed.

London Letter in Baltimore American.
A Frenchwoman, while walking in the streets
Of Paris the other day. found herself suddenly
seized in the arms of a man and vigorously
kissed. Highly indignant at the proceeding she
promptly gave the offender in charge, but by the
time they reached the police station she found
that the man had stolen something more hlan
kiss--her purse was gone. Shs is not the only
case of this kiEd that has occurred lately in the
French capital In London the rough VINO goes
for woman's purse, as rule takes the preim-
mary step of knocking her down. The more
gallant son of Gaul has hit upon better way:
he combines business with pleasure.

My daughter, when you note that the man
who wants to marry you is Just too awfully
anxious to learn whether you can bake a loaf Of
bread or wash a shirt with Chinese dexterity,
before you close the negotiations do you just fly
around and ascertain whether that man is either
willing or able to earn enough -four to make a.
biscuit and if he has paid for the shirt he wants
you to wash Nine times out of ten daughter,
the man who,only wants to marry a housckeeper
can be kept more economically in the workhouse
than he can in your fathers house.

A Severe Test.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
A Salvation Army officer in Delaware has an
original way of proving the wickedness of this
world. Towards the end of his address he always
says: If there is any Christian in this assem-
blage let him hold up his hand and will 60 home
with him and spend the night" Strange to say,
no Christian has yet been known to hold up his
hand.

that crisis) she led him to the window and made
him sit beside her on the divan. 1t appeared to
her as if she were rehearsing in fearful dream
and with a kind of CHASTITY mockery the events
of that fatal hour in which the tragedy of their
lives began. He had wooed her then, and now
it was her turn to WOO. He had wooed her to
love; she must WOO him from who could tell
what nameleSs insane violence He had won his
suit-for an hour at least; she would win hers
for as long.
What she talked to him about, she never knew
Probably her speech was rambling and inco-
herent that of madness itself. Knowing that
his brain would not apprehend what his ear
heard she may have spoken aloud things which
she would not have whispered to her own refiec-
ton in mirror. He sat staring at her, some
times pattIng her hand, sometimes raising his
arms over his head and clutching vaguely at the
air. sometimes pressing his clenched fists against
his breast, as if he felt pain there. But if she
paused in her flow of words or if her eyes wan
6ered from his, he would move restlessly,
and mutter in rapid, inward tone,
though nothing that he uttered
if she released her hold upon him, such as it
was, he would pass out of her control entirely
Yet every fresh moment told upon her strength
it seemed as if life itself was ebbing away from
her. and she began to fear that the strain would
end by her falling back dead in her seat But
the worst was yet to come.
A cry came from the next room; so faint
cry that it might easily have passed unheard
by another; but it penetrated the mothers heart
like a knife Her baby had awaked, and all
her labor and agony were in van The cry was
repeated. and now the mailman heard it also.
His expression changed from vacancy to
threatening suspicion. For a minute the
wretched woman strove to drown the feeble
waing by raising her own voice. she broke into
song and understanding to hold his atten-
ton. But it was useless. He started up and
began to prowl about the room, sometimes erect,
sometimes creeping on all fours; ever and anon
pausing to toss back the hair from his face and

the left of the second room was third smaller

eyes to look across the two rooms, and so out of
the bow window of the further one into the
depths of the moonit park. The moon was
nearly full, and its rays fell through the bow
