her fathers invitation she was told sne
could do so without meeting him, Tor he is
bound to Mexico. Though she received
the letter from her stepmutbeT's hands the
girl made no promise Of replying to it IN
any way.
The letter begins "My Dear Maud, +" and
begs the young lady t. give up her pres
emf life. Every moment OF your life" it
says, is a sin and crime. You are no
longer "A child. No decent manager will
give you an engagement in this trouble

Light and Shadow.

The tilted moon OF summers long ago,
Where have they drifted to away from me?
Could but follow, and forget to know,
And know but what must forget, and so
Drift on, and on throughout eternity!
There is voice that comes when we are old,
From out the blind eclipse Of days gone by
Strange whispers through the heart when it is cold
When nearly all the story has been told
And the poor eyes weary, worn and dry.
The yellow light of waning eventide
Plays DER the uplands they greet the dawn,
And in the heart still must there somewhere hide
Old memories that will not be denied
Sweet, o most bitter sweet, that they are gone.
Strange silence of the soul. What can say?
can no longer weep, o skies above;
have no heart to die, nor live, nor pray.
o meadow moon and stars, so far away
And thy dear face still farther my love.
Clara L. Bottsford

Louisville Post.
in all the departments there are employees
who hold their positions, not on the strength of
their political influence, bus upon the strength
Of their peculiar abilities. Among these is Pat
rick ByTnes of the division of loans in the Treas
ury Department. For dozen years not an in
terest check has left the department that has not
passed through his hands The interest on the
bond is paid quarterly, and, to insure absolute
certainty that of the checks 60 astray, it is
absolutely necessary that they should all be
sealed by one individual. AS the holders Of
bonds are represented in number by many thou
sands, it would take three ordinary clerks to do
the work, but Byrnes does the mailing single
handed. The checks are brought down from the
loan division. and piled on his desk in stacks like
cord wood Each one must get in its right en-
velope, which has been previously addressed
and then Byrnes begins.
With &c mechanical esss:iic assistance except wet
Sponge ssts:s.ss in &c Dc the se11aas Those who
have seen Blitz or Hermann handle pack of
playing cards before wonder-stricken audience
might have some idea of the way that Byrnes
rifles the checks into the envelopes. Fifty a
minute. How he does it knows 1t is
sleight-of hand. but so rapidls performed that
the eye cannot follow the LovemeEt. Thump,
thump, thump, all day long, and at the close OF
the department day he has fllIed three store
boxes with sealed envelopes Does he ever make
mstakeY Well. no. The checks vaSv from
~e.' TO so.O QUO, and single mistake on his cart
might cost him years salary 1t is safe to say
that he never makes one OF the thousands Of
people who quarterly receive these interest
checks, few know of the wizard through whose
hands they have passed.

Not Heaven.

What though passed the gates of pearly cleaning
Hung the walls of dazzling jasper shine
Into a land with heavenly sweetness teeming
And she not there it were no heaven Of mine?
If in the choir whose songs my were greeting
More grand than earthly diapasons roll,
saw not eyes of hers my own look meeting,
Their music would be discord to my soul.
No sound could unto soul Of mine bring cheering
If but missed from out the chanting throng
One earhsweet voice. that to my souls tense hearing
Could far out-voice cen Sanadalphon's song.
And should gladly go from out the shining
Down where the coud-world glooms the golden stair
Unheld by any ghost of sad repining,
To search, till found, for her who was not there

Mrs d. s. Lathrop. of Albany Next after
Mime. de Barrios Mrs. A. 7. Stewart is probably
the richest unmarried woman at Saratoga, but
Mrs D. s. Lathrop of Albany, sister of Sena
tor Sanfords wife. probably has her large fortune
in better shape and more Immediately under her
own CONTROL and so, in one sense might be
called the second wealthiest widow at Saratoga.
She has ten horses here and one pair, which are
driven to the victoria she uses herself and in
which she often takes some one of her lady
friends to drive with her, are fleet as the wind, !"
and are said to be the fastest horses driven for
pleasure by anyone in Saratoga. Mrs. Lathrop's
new barn is one of the show places at Saratoga
this year, it is so large and so elegant in all
respects. 1t was built for her, and has not been
long completed One of her feet steeds is an
own niece Of Maud S.. the Queen of the Turf.
She is living in a rented brick cottage this year,
but is building mammoth dwelling, which will
have front of 100 feet and be eighty feet in
depth. It's interior will be all finished in hard
woods, and will be very elegant in every detail

The Convent Gates.


Swinging in and out, and now held fast,
The convent gates as | ride past,
Peer up the winding avenue.
Mid arching branches, rifting thro',
Like amber wine, the sunlight spills
It's molten gold to drench the hills;
In rillets lost adown the glade.
Mid knock-kneed silhouettes of shade,
Past porch and court follow far
To where the terraced roses are
Where cool, dark angles jut aud where
The cushat doves COO IN mid-air-
And hear the shadows singing low
In woody depths / used to know
Where high upon the wind-swept hill,
Black crosses slant their shadows still
Across low mounds of surging grass, =
Where sable crickets mourning pass,
And hear the pines when winds ablow,
The de profundus chanting low.
AS when the cross and tapers led
To twilight burial of the dead.
Then winding down the woodland way,
Out where the fountain lifts to-day,
Where white syringas bloom, aud where
The cushat doves COO In mid-air,
I hear the laugh of children ring
AS sweet as bird notes of the spring,
And see the white-veiled novice stand,
Her dark hair hid meath linen band,
In coarse serge gown, and dangling there
The beads that number half her prayer.
She losses crumbs as go by
TO shy young doves that round her fly.
Tho worldly grown, as I ride past
cannot help but sigh at last
To leave behind the peace that waits
For those within the convent gates.
