ASLEEP.

An hour before, she spoke of things
That Memory TO the dying brings,
And kissed me all the while:
Then after some sweet parting words,
She seemed among her flowers and birds,
Until she fell asleep.
Twas summer then. tits autumn now;
The crimson leaves fall OF the bough,
And strew the gravel sweep.
! wander down the garden walk,
And muse on all the happy talk
We had beneath the lines:
And, resting on the garden seat
Her old Newfoundland at my feet,
i think OF other times:
or golden ewes, when she and
sat watching here the flushing sky,
The sunset and the sea:
Or hear the children in the lanes,
Following home the harvest wains,
And shouting in their glee.
But when the daylight dies away,
And ships grow dusky in the bay,
These recollections cease;
And, in the stiffness OF the night,
Bright thoughts that end in dreams as bright
Communicate their peace.
j wake and see the morning star,
And hear the breakers on the bar,
The voices on ths shore;
And then. with tears. long TO be
Across dim, unsounded sea.
With her forevermore.

THE OLD-TIME NEWSPAPER.
Editors who Fired shots THAI

The systematic collection Of news is
thing of late date, says the American
BOOk-Maker. ! know well the first man
who made a local column in a Rochester
newspaper. and l have talked with the first
regular reporter on New York daily.
Before 1885 there was no attempt at gath
ering and narratihg each day or week the
events which had happened Visitors oc-
casiOnly brought i'm something and societies
frequently instructed their secretaries Ia
see to the publication of their doings. 4
very remarkable affair called out n brief
account from the editor. Country news
papers were then mainly filled up with
scisSOrings from Albany, New York. or
Boston dalies, Little else was inserted.
except some political writing when an cleo
ton was about to take place.
1t was, however in such places, and on
journals no better conducted, that Simon
Cameron and ThurlOw Weed gained their
Unequaled knowledge of men; that Horace
Greeley became an encyclopedia of political
and contemporary historical facts. and that
Lewis ID. Campbell learned the trade of
politics SO that he became the best political
debateT, not orator. that Ohio has seen.
The printing Office in the days before the
war were recruited by the best young men
in the neighborhoOd. The doctors son. the
lawyers nephew, the clergyman's ward

chances of bettering themselves afterward.
There still was an apprenticeship system.
and the boys lived with their EMPLOYERS. a
custom fast going into disfavor. There
were accomplished women and amiabie
girls in these houses, and not infreouentIy
guests of distinction. can recollect seeing
at these kindly abOdes men whose names
are known all over the world. II was as a
printers boy that Garrison first began that
crusade against slavery which shook off the
shackles from the 5000, 600 of slaves of
this country, and it was in humble offices
that William ID. HOwellS and Bret Harta
learned that command of language and that
knowledge of human motives and actions
that place them foremost among the
writers of the present day.
Little was said about writing, for it was
taken for granted that any man with
sound head, sufficient knowledge, and ac-
cuStomed to hear the English language
spoken with accuracy could write sufficient

become necessary to touch. This was true.

LOVES YOUNG DREAM.

They were sitting on the doorstep
Just as any lovers might;
He roguish little school boy,
She a little maiden bright.
He was certain that he loved her
Though his love he dare not tell:
She was certain that She liked him
That she-liked him-awful well.
His right arm her waist encircled,
just as any lovers might;
She was nesting close beside him,
With a look of shy delight.
For the charming little maiden,
Though as happy as could be-
Wondered just what mama'd think if
She were only there to see.
Don't you think this dreadful naughtyY''
Said the little maiden bright.

And he hugged her awful tight.
Thus they sat upon the doorstep,
Just as any lovers might.
TIL the hour OF midnight warned them
''Spooning" could not last all night.
Then the wicked little school boy.
Thanking TO complete their bliss
since welve been so naughty, shall we
End our badness with kissY'
Iremhlingly he asked the question,
Glancing at her lips so red;
talntly came the answer: ''Shall weY''
THIS was all the maiden said.

All. yesterday found a glove
Grown shabby, full OF tiny rips,
But dear 10 me because my love
Once through il thrust her her finger tips
A glove one would not care 20 see
Upon his arm in public street;
Yet here j own there is for me
No relic in the world more sweet
faint, far scent of lavender
Steals from il, as the clover slnelt
When through the fields walked with her
And plucked the blossoms for her belt.
Faithi but Iloved the little hand
That used TO wear the time-stained thing,
Its slightest gesture OF command
Would set my glad heart huttering.
Or IL il touched my finger so,
Or smoOthed NV har-why should I speal
OF those old days? IL makes, you know,
The tears briin over on my cheek.
Poor. stained, worn-out. long-wristed glove
think it almost understands
That reverently and with love
hold il in my trembling hands.
And that il Is so dear TO me-
With its old fragrance, far and faint,
Because my mother wore il, she
ON earth my love, in heaven my saint.

Girls Turning Aside From Dudes 40
Fail In Love With Each Other.
Washington Letter in Boston Traveller.
If there is any new kink or wrinkle in
the line of fashionable hobbies which has
not reached Washington, the society yOung
ladies would like To have it passed this
way. This year it IS the proper thing for
one young lady TO be desperately in love
with another. She may have young man,
and most of them do, but unless she Is des-
perately in love with one of her own sex
she can rest assured she that she is not en-
regle. This craze is being carried 10 a ridc-
ulOus extent here. Those of US who have
been watching its rapid growth have been
intensely amused at the extremely practical
manner in which some of the young ladies 20
about. 1t must not be supposed that because
fashions whim commands young lady to
rave about some other young lady's beauty,
and TO drip all manner Of literary treacle
over the object of her alleged desires. that
it is at all necessary that her ''mash' should
be one Of her own circle of friends. The
shTewd girl will never permit herself to be
caught In such flimSy trap as that. She
must admire something feminine, and so
she looks about her and usually settles
down upon some actress. Rhea, Jennie
Winston and Verona JaTbeau are the three
favOriteS. All three of them are deluged
with flowers and perfumed notes every
time they come TO town. Not long ago
Miss Winston stopped for about two hours
in Washington on her way North. A dele
CATION of young ladies met her at the depot
and entertained this feminine BunthOme
during her stay. Quite recently Jarbeau
played in the "MikadO" at one of our
theaters. Two Young ladies at once
became desperately smitten. They called
and were cordially received. Jarbeau told
them all manner of pretty things about her
self, her origin and her history. They were
enraptured. but when the clever little ac-
treSs innOcently told them that she was
barely past 20. and that she felt just like a
school girl. the young ladies looked at each
other Il trifle incredulously. Before they
left Jarbeau managed TO tell them
that in case they hired a box at the
matinee she would fiirt with them from the
stage. The girls hired the box and Jarbeau
did as she promised. All of this talk may
be sickening TO those who have never
moved i'm society at the capital, but il must
be confessed that when one looks at the
average brainleSs dude who is supposed
To entertain the young lady he does not
wonder at the fact that the girls are falling
in love one with another.

To dismiss despair forever
Chase the sorrow from her eyes.

All the unspoken love of years.

Bring the priceless gift of tears.

In mothers love secure;
Love that needs no fires refining
Ever wstchful, ever sure!
