WHAT THE MOTHER SAYS.

Yes. know there are stains on my carpct,
The traces of small muddy boots
And see your fair tapestry glowing,
And spotless with blossoms and fruits
And know that my walls are disfgurcd
With prints Of small fingers and hands;
And that your own household most truly
In Immaculate purity stands.
And know that my parlor is Uttered
With many old treasures and toys;
While your own Is In daintiest order,
Unframed by the presence Of boysl
And know that my room is invaded
Quite boldly all hours of the day;
While you sit in yours unmolested,
. And dream the soft quiet away
Yes, know there are four little bedsides
Where l must stand wa chful each night
While you 90 out In your carriage,
And fash I'm your dresses SO bright.

Then there is the incessant din of
street cries, while deep bass to these
comes the grunting chorus of the
coolies, who in the middle road are
urging on their heavily laden carts,
and the lighter rattle of a never-ceas-
ing stream of the terrible springless
carts which take the place of cabs and
carriages for the greatest mandarins

along to the music of their own bells.
Clearer and most melodious is the
tingling of the square bell which hangs
from the neck of the last camel in the
long files which now and again move
slowly up the street with soft, silent
tread and gliding movement. Some
are laden with tea, others being fuel
for the city-a compound of clay and
coal dust made up into balls, which
being burnt in common portable stoves
made of clay, iron, or brass, give out
much heat and no smoke. Strange 10
say, though there are vast seams of
Goals in the mountains within fifty
miles of Peking, it is so expensive here

THE STORM In THE VALLEY.
"To wait for one who comes not,
To serve well, and please not,
To lie In bed and sleep not,
Are three things to die Off

II. Prov
The day was glorious. Soft white
clouds foated over the clear expanse
of blue, and the golden sunshine
seemed 70 drift through the warm at
mosphere, and sift and flicker through
the green trees. The huge yellow dill
gence with its five horses, and noisy
driver and position, offered no sort of
inducement to us, in its crowded con-
ditiOn, and we were fortunate to Sc
cure an open carriage, for our ride
through the mOuntain-circled valley.
Our party, three in number, were re-
infOrced by two others, gentlemen.
The scenery was enchanting, and l
had little care at first to notice our
new companions; but after time
when l had filled my eyes with the
rare beauties of the landscape, leaned
lazily hack, and took survey of my
opposite neighbors. One of them at
tracted me at once; there was a name
less something about him, which told
that he had suffered, and that suffering
had purified HIM. He sat now with
his head thrown back against the
cushion, his hat in his hand, and the
wind blowing the fair hair back from
his forehead. His face was bright
with animation, and yet noticed that
as his eyes turned from his fellow
travellers, and looked outward over
the mountains, l caught glimses of
sadness, that seemed almost fathom-
less. l forgot myself, in making a
study of him,-when he turned sud-
denly and looked me in the face,
while an amused smile played over
his fea lures, and blushed guiltily-
feeling that in one glance, he had read
me like the open pages of a book. kept
my eyes from wandering in his direc-
tiOn again, but found myself wonder
ing, as l listened to his low, pleasant
voice, how any one, young, handsome.
and wealthy as he looked to be, could
have had sorrow deep enough to leave
It's indelible trace so plainly, that she
who ran might read" despite the
brave cheerfulness that seemed habit
ual to him.
AS the afternoon began to wear
away we were startled by the sudden
darkening of the sky and the low
rumbling of thunder. There were
still some miles to be gotten over be-
fore we reached our destination, and
the storm soon broke with fearful in
tensity over us. 1t swept onward like
an avalanche: the wind roared and
the rain decended in torrents, whilo
the thunder echoed and re-echoed
from mountain to mountain, and the
air was alive with quivering lightning
Our hearts quailed, and the horses
could not make headway in the blind
ing rain.
just as we were about to despair of
finding shelter, the horses came to a
stop before house we had not seen
before in the darkness of the storm.
''We will have to stay here for the
night" the driver said. There is no
sort of use in our trying to reach
l., for it can't be done"
MY heart rose in thankfulness, as l
saw that we had found retreat from
the storm. 1t proved to be large,
comfortable farmhouse; but that trav.
elers were occasionally accommodated,
we knew by the sign at the door.
We were all eager to be out, except

Hours for Sleep.

The latest authority on the vexed
question OF sleep. DR.. Mains, says
that the proper amount of sleep TO be
taken by man, is eight hours. So
far as regards city life the estimate is
probably correct. Proverbial wisdom
does not apply to modern conditions
IF social existence. Five (hours) for
a man, seven for woman. and nine
for pig. says one proverb; and a
second quoted by Mr. Hazlitt in his
English proverbs, declares that Ma
ture requires five; custom gives q al
lows) seven laziness takes nine, and
wickedness eleven" These conclus-
ions were, however. drawn from OBJ
servation of country life Physical
fatigue is more easily overcome than
intellectual. Men, however. who fol-
low any intellectual pursuit are ex-
ceptionally fortunate il the processes
Of restoration occupy less than seven
hours. More frequently they extend
to eight or nine hours. Kant. | see it
stated, took never less than seven
hours. Goethe owned to requiring
nine. Soldiers and sailors, on the
other hand, like laborers, do with a
much less quantity. -NeU York COM

The Greek Idea Of Death

A writer in Macmilian's Magazine
says a Greek peasant looks upon death
quite differently from what a peasant
Of the Western world is taught to be-
lieve. To him it is the end Of all joy
and gladness; the songs over his body
(myriologues) speak of the black
earth. the end of light and brilliancy.
A popular Klephtic song on the death
of Zedros. when read by the side of
Sophocles' description of the death of
Ajax, shows how curiously alike are
the ideas OF death as painted in the
two poems. Charon is still believed
to be white haired old man with long
and fearful nails, and in myriologues
or lamentations, which are still of
everyday occurrence in the islands,
YOU actually hear of Charon's caique.
He IL now spoken OF as Charos. In
some parts OF Greece they still, il is
said, put money in the mouth of de-
ceased person to pay the passage. Al
the funeral Of child in "A mountain
village Of Naxos "A wax cross was put
in the child's mouth by the priest, and
on inquiry the writer was told that it
was the freight money, SO completely
has the Eastern church incorporated
into itself the ancient idea.
