Day by Day.

A little older every day
A little nearer to the close;
Nearer to the ending of the fray.
Nearer the long repose.
Nearer the time when Ger our head
Shall spring the blossoms and the grass,
And friends win murIaur: He Is dead"
AS by our tomb they pass
Nearer the time when we shall cast
An anchor by the mystic shore;
And see, and feel, and know at last,
What we could not before.
All! how the years go rolling on!
How short the step to manhood's prime,
How soon the gold of life is gone
Into the vaults of time.

Hard Lines.

Each lover has some one defect,
Some lack of God-like grace,
That makes him not the one elect
To share her heart and place;
Though for her hand the noblest sue,
-. She coldly shakes her head:
Until one perfect comes to WOO,
She vows she will not wed.
When wrinkles creep upon her brow
And art adorns her cheek
There comes into her presence now
The one her soul doth seek;
Full manhood in his form and eye;
A voice that thrills her through;
And yet she weds him not; the why
He seeks perfection, too.

Should any of my readers ever find themselves

that they are in the midst of cluster of the
most interesting shows in the metropolis. A

GHOSTS OF OLD SHOWS.
When / was boy there We're many strange
and barbarous shows in London the ghost of
which visiting the gimpses Of the moon remind
one that are living in an age of progress.
"Cremorne Garden" better sort of Partisan
Mabille, was in full swing, open all night,
gaudy with colored lamps, garish with tinsel,
noisy with drunken swes and screeching
women. At night the THE inventories" is
Cremorne without its vice, and drink and vul-
garity. The gardens are illuminated, bands are
playing, there are lovely flowers, and anybody
can be admitted who is decently dressed and
well conducted. In those days our music halls
were akin to the worst form of the American
variety show, and even in the first year of the
Alhambra there was wine room under the
stage where men were admitted to 'stapG drinks"
to the ballet. Then the might houses" of certain
low taverns were sights to see" for men who
were doing the town" They never rivaled
the horrors of Paris nor the dens of Chicago and
New York. If the American cities keep their
streets clear of Circe and her subjects, that
shocking goddess is allowed to keep her filthy
state at home on a fierce and dreadful scale not
dreamed of in London. The worst of the En-
glish metropolis is seen in the streets. The
social evil" nowhere in the world makes SO
shameless an outside show in any capital of the
world as in London. But the dreadful private
sights of the Tom and Jerry days of Egan are
dirty shadows that have long since departed
We are getting on, and if settle our trouble
with Russia In an arbitration that has spark
of honor in it we may indeed consider that the
world at large is advancing. The Five Points in
New York is no longer a terror aud sink of
iniquity; and 1.-The seven dialsa of London, once
the home of MURDER and filth, and vice even
more dreadful than murder, is now compare
lively clean and decent locality. The tenement
houses erected under the will of your great Pea
body have done wonders in lifting the masses
out of their cutters. They were the forerunners
of hundreds Of working mems fats and subur-
ban homes. AND light and fresh air are the best
of moral forces, JOSEPH HATToN.

 As Wardlaw said this, there was a knock at the door, and a messenger en- tered with letter for him.
 His face turned pale as he opened it, though the sinister smile was fixed on his mouth as he read the missiye twice through.
 " Read it yourself" said Wardlaw, passing the letter across the table. ssI shall want your help. Beside -leok at me-iisten to what say-I, who believe nothing-trust nothing-you loved the daughter, whom you saw but for an hour, as she lay dying-as loved the mother as Wythe and her husband loved her" Wardlaw covered his face with his hands, read the letter, written in a clear, beau tiful hand. It was as follows, emitting the aristocratic locality at which it was dated, only the signature was ncf Annie Van Wyck':

 The evening papers announced that Edith sailed that day for Europe, where she would make an extended stay for the purpose of completing her musical studies.
 How odd" said Miss Belle Livings- ton, who was one of Edith's acquaipt. apces. "I did not see Edith at the steamer, you know was down to see Fred off-but Edith was always queer in her ways. suppose she waDted to avoid the 'mob,' which to her means almost every one in the world"
 The return of Edith Van Wyck from Europe has not been announced. The tomb where she lies in Greenwood is dressed every day with the most costly floral remembrances-so the greenhouse man at the elaborately sculptured stone entrance to that field of final solace and eternal rest informs me which have been ordered of him this season.-Lncten ArnoM fn HariEarR Zi,aes

A WOman's Wit.
lExchange.I

Many of the first settlers of Illinois were rude in speech and rough in man. ner. Money was scarce with them, and service was paid for in produce. Gov ernor B. illustrated these incidents of frontier life by the following anecdote
 One day there came to his office a young man accompanied by a young wo- man.
 Be you the squire2" asked the manly youth.
 "Yes, sir"
 "Can you tie the knot for us right away"
 "Yes, sir"
 "How much do you charge ?"
 "One dollar is the legal fee, sir"
 "Will you take your fee in beeswsx ?"
 "Yes, if you can't pay the cash"
 Well, go ahead and tie the knot, and I'll fetch in the wax"
 "No," said the squire. thinking there was a good chance for a little fun {: bring in the beeswax fint, and then I'll marry yeu."
 Reluctantly the youth went out to where was hitched the horse upon which, Darby and Joan fashion, they had ridden, and brought the wax in a sack. On being weighed its value was found to be only sixty cents.
 "Wal," said the anxious groom, {" tie the knot and I'll fetch more wax next week"
 "No, sir, don't trust; that is against the rsles of this office"
 Slowly the disappointed youth turned to 20 out saving Come Sal 1st'S oo O
 :" say, mister," answered Sal, with weman's wit, "can't you marry us as far the wax will go?" "Yes, l can and will," replied the squire, laughing and he did.
