THE SINGERS AIMS.

In LYONS, in the mart of that French town,
Years since, woman leading fair child,
Craved a small aims of one who, walking
Thethoroughfare, caught the child's glance
and smiled
To SEQ behind its eyes noble soul.
He paused. but found he had no coin to
dole.
His guardian angel warned him not to lose
This chance Of pearl to do another good;
So. as he waited, sorry to refuse
The asked-for penny, there aside he stood
And with his hat held as by limb the nest,
he covered his kind face and sang his
best.
The sky was blue above, and all tho lane
OF commerce, where the singer stood, was
filed,
And many paused, and, listening, paused
again
To hear the voice that through and through
them thrilled
think the guardian angel helped along
That cry for pity woven in song.
The singer stood between the beggars there,
Before a church, and overhead the spire
A slim, perpetual finger in ths air
Held toward heaven, land of the hearts
desire
As if an angel, pointing up, had said:
"Yonder crown awaits this singers
head"
The hat of its stamped brood was emptied
Into the woman's lap, who drenched with
Her Kiss upon the hand of help; twas noon
And noon in her glad heart drove forth her
fears.
The singer, pleased, passed on and softly
thought:
MEN will not know by whom this deed
was wrought"
But when at night be came upon the stage
Cheer after cheer went up from that wide
throng,
And flowers rained on him. nought could as
suage
The tumult Of the welcome save the song
That he had sweetly sung, with covered
face,
For the two beggars in the market-place.

The Climate Of Alaska.

Current notions as to the severity of the
climate of Alaska require to be somewhat
modified. There is strong ocean cur
rent which sweeps sonthward and break
ing upon the Alaskan shores produces
along the coast an effect similar to that
produced by the Gulf stream. A CORE
spondent of the Chicago Adoance, writ
ing from Puget sound, gives an en-
trancing account of the climate there in
January:
This morning January 81 I counted
ten different varieties Of flowers in full
bloom out of doors, among which were
roses, pansies, red and white daisies, blue
bells and chrysanthemums. The grass of
the hillside and meadow is as fresh and
green as in spring time, with here and
there a red clover blossom lifting it's
blushing face as if to apologize for its uA-
seasonable appearance. Strawberry vines,
too, scorning the figures of the calendar,
persistently refuse to take their winters
nap, and with large, luxuriant leaves
continue to shield the tender blossoms
which nestle beneath their shade. Tho
diligent, irrepressible Chinaman still
makes his accustomed morning call with
baskets of "celery, turnip-pe, beet-e and
cabbage-ge," " fresh from the garden, while
the festive 'sslwash" and his beloved
'eklooockman" roam the streets bare
headed and barefooted in til their native
pride and dignity. The mean tempera-
ture for December was forty y-three and q
half degrees. At 2 P. NJ it ranged from
thirty-fo to sixty degrees for the month.
There were only five frosts, and no snow
until December 81, and then only enough
to cover the ground. To-day the sun is
warmly shining, flowers are blooming,
and ali is merry as May. And this in the
middle of winter at forty-eight degrees
north latitude.

No One Waited on Her.

She was young, she was green, she was
very new in Washington. At recent
swell affair she had gone with the crowd
into the refreshment room. Presently
an elegantly looking waiter, for all the
world like foreign Ambassador, bowed
politely before her and murmured:
"Isthere any one waiting on you, miss?'
"Sir? sir2" she stammered in startled
embarrassment.
"Pardonnez moi. Is there any one
waiting on you?"
"Oh!" she said, bInshing brightly.
stNo, sir; not in Washington. But when
I'm at home I've got more beaus than
any other girl in town. Washington

less he, stood on his fcet. While MS
wound was severe one, he determined to
remain "dead" until the time came to get
even.
The outlaws held another consultation
after the shooting, and again the fires
were started under the boiler. All the
wood aboard was consumed by noon, and
the fellows went at it and gathered more.
By 2 o'clock, however, they gave up
all hopes of raising steam, and we heard
them quarreling in angry tones. They
had caught a Tartar, and seemed anx
ious to let 90. About o'clock it seemed
to strike them that, if they could not get
away with the steamer, they ought at
least to rob us, and we saw the whole
crowd moving down on the house boat
While all had knives and revolvers, ther.
was not rife among them. The two
they had captured from US were Henry's.
When the crowd reached our prison the
men formed on the bank and the captain
opened the door about an inch and called
out:
Come, now, pass out your purses and
watches"
"You show your nose inside and we'll
kill you," replied our captain.
We had found couple of stout clubs
in the house, and these were in the hands
of men on each side of the door. While
their positions were sheltered any one
attempting to enter would find himself
in peril of his life. We were determined
neither to leave the shelter of the place
nor to allow any OF the outlaws to come in
on US. They soon discovered that we
held the key of the situation, and their
passions were aroused to the highest
