Her Answer.

(FrOm the Boston Courier.)
Come let us wander through the grove,
The golden day has flown,
And will tell YOU of nv love.
My beautiful, my own,
The slivery moon in beauty beams,
UnclOuded in the sky,
The stars are mlrrored in the streams,
And zephyrs softy sigh
Among the trees the firetlies fit,
With intermittent CLEAN;
Upon messy knoll well sit,
And there dream" Loves young dream
Then thus replied the maiden sweet;
I'd rather go with you
To Mulligan's saloon down street
And have an oyster stew.

BY Il. H. STODDARD.

We knew it would rain. for all the morn
A spirit on slender ropes of mist
Was lowering its golden buckets down
Into the vapOry amethyst.
VI marshes and swamps and dismal fans;
Scooping the dew that lay in the flowers
Dipping the Jewels out of the sea
To sprinkle them over the land In showers
We knew it would rain, for the poplars
showed
The whites of their leaves, the ambC r
grain
Shrunk in the wind and the lightning now
Is tangled in tremulous skeins of rain!

A Sober Truth.
Cupid's Kiss,

Cupid's Kiss,
BY WALTER LEARNED.
Twas as she slept that Cupid came,
His bow and arrow stalking,
That she might feel his power in dreams
Who scorned his weapons waking.
As DER her sleeping form he poised
The staff that oft had missed her.
Her beauty touched his rOguish heart
He only stopped and kissed her.
Since when upon her fair, soft cheek,
Loves amorOus imprint keeping,
A charming dimple marks the spot
Where Cupid kissed her, sleeping.

If the scientists continue their inves-
LEGATIONS it will soon be dangerous to
eat or drink anything, and humanity
will have to starve or die of thirst. All
kinds of liquors are adulterated, and
death turks in we'll and reservoir.
Even so simple thing as milk is poi
sOnOus. A university doctor out west
mas discovered in a highly poisonous
ptOmaine, which is called tyrotOxicon
or cheese poison. 1t is now found that
this tyrOtOxicOn may be developed in
milk, and it is claimed that this poison
is the probable cause of the deadly
cholera infantum, so fatal among chill
dren, and to the same may be very
likely attributed the many cases of poi
soning by ice cream. The professor
has found that this poison is developed
in milk after standing in tightly closed
bottles and he considers it due to the
growth of some micrO-organism. From
these experiments it would seem that
milk should not be allowed to remain
in tightly closed bottles, but should be
poured into vessels open to good fresh
air. When will this Cinvestiga-
tiOn end, and what will be the result ?
Eating and drinking will be like unto
trading insight unseen"

The Knights of Labor.

The Knights of Labor who convened
last week at Richmond expect to pro-
long their convention probably two
weeks, so important is the legislation
which is proposed to be brought before
the convention. This is indeed to be
the most important convention of
knights of Labor ever held. 1t repre-
sents about million of labOrers, who
by its behests and legislation can be
turned against capital, or who can be
controlled in the more natural and
peaceful channels of industry and be
made work hand in hand with capital
for the good of both. The events of
the last year have shown the knights
of Labor that there are many things in
the constitution which need revision,
In many of the disastrous strikes that
have occurred they have had numbers
on their side, but the mere force of
numbers has been found to be an insult
ticient remedy. Severe blows have
been given to the organization by the
failure of the great Northwest Railroad
strike on the Gould combination and
the street car strikes of New York.
Many other strikes in the country have
been unsuccessful, amongst them the
morocco strike in Wilmington. These
strikes are something which should re-
quire the earnest attention of the rep
resentative body in session at Rich
mond. A strike is an arbitrary meas
ure at any time and is not calculated
to increase respect and good feeling be-
tween capital and labor, no matter
whether successful or unsuccessful, and
yet it seems to be the only potent rem
edy left in extreme cases. 1t is said
that the question whether strikes and
boycOtts are to be regarded as legiti-
mate means of conflict is to be seriously
considered in the convention, and it is
also said that measures will be taken
to weed the Anarchists, Socialists and
Communists out of the order. We may
confidently expect however that even
if strikes and bOycOtts are to be used
when permitted by the highest func-
tiOuaries of the order.

" Killing Three Birds With One
Stone"
MRS. W. B. AUSTIN.

Twas bird from the woodland 50 bonny and
That had rested to sing In the clear morning
light
And never did robin sing out in June
A wilder or sweeter or merrer tune.
For love, was the theme that thrilled through
each note
That 50 jOyously welled from the gay warbler's
throat.
And she sang Of secret you'd never have
Twas the sweetest, the tiniest coolest nest,
Leaty-hid on long, dIOoping branch that was
To and frO by the wind in the sunshine and
shade.
And she sang of her nestlings the wee cunning
Of their soft, silky feathers and down covered
wings;
Oftheir bright little eyes and their breasts fair to
While her heart was as proud as mothers could
be.
She sang loud and clear her sweet anthem of
praise
For all the bright blessings that gladdened her
days.
When, 10, on its merciless mission there sped
swift tieeting arrow-and robin was dead
Her song Of glad praise and thanksgiving was
DER;
Her carol would echo in woodland no more.
The hours sped onward, the sun sought the
west;
And the two little baby birds hid in the nest
Grew weary with watching and waiting in vain
And calling the mother who came not again
Till at last, faint with famine and by night
shadows chilled
Two bright heads lay dropping. two voices were
stilled.
The arrow that entered the mother birds breast
Had slain just as surely the birds in the nest.
Oh you, from whose hands speeds the death.

THE DESERTED TEMPLE.
BY F. FREEMAN CARPENTER.

The golden sunset fingered
Upon the western hill;
The brooklet danced in the mellow gleam
Ofthe evening calm and still.
Within the Autumn forest
Stood a temple gray and old
It had Weathered many Winter,
With its north winds bleak and cold.
It's walls DER hung with ivy,
Are now falling to decay;
And the marks of solemn grandeur
Are passing swift away.
l stood in the arched doorway,
With the belfry overhead,
And thought of the hour Of worship
There announced to those long dead.
It was in this ancient structure
That our fathers heard the Word,
As read from the sacred volume:
As taught by the man Of God.
There it stands mid the spreading oak trees,
Undefed by Vulger tread
For the world has left it sacred,
To the memory of the dead.

Last year a clergyman of Norfolk, in
England, missed his pet dog, and there
was much grief in the family; for
Rough, the lost collie, was favOrite
with the grown folks as well as with
the children. Some nine months later,
the clergyman, happening to go to
Cattle Hill," where the Norfolk dro-
vers were, saw Rough, and joyously
laid claim to him. But ROugh's new
master, a drOver, refused to give the dog
up; and there was a dispute. OF
course the drOvers were in sympathy
with their fellow; and the clergyman
found the odds against him. The dro-
yer said he had owned Rough for years
the minister held to it that Rough was
the very Rough he had raised. Two
policemen came running up and the
case was stated. "But how can YOU
prove ownership ?" asked one of the
officers. That put the minister in
mind of something. He thrust his
hand into a pocket, pulled out a penny
and gave it to the dog, with the COM
mand, Rough, fetch aloaf?" Rough,
with the penny in his mouth, went to
the nearest bakery, made it clear that
he wanted some bread, and soon came
trOtting back to the crowd. The cler-
gyman broke off morsel, gave it to
Rough, and stood by while the dog
munched it. Suddenly the Clergyman
exclaimed: Trough, / believe that
bread is poisonedw Out the dog spat
the piece of bread and the crowd
cried, Bravoi" There was no longer
doubt as to the true ownership; and to
the shame of the drover, the dog
trotted off at the minister's heels.

Three Dog Stories.

l think most children love to hear
stories about dogs. So 1 am going to
tell the readers of the young folks cor
ner what my little boy calls a "real,
true story" by which the little fellow
means story which has come within
the range of my own experience or
that of some intimate friend.
SiXty-five years ago, when my little
boys grandfather was about ten years
of age, a farmer gave him a little col
lie pup for a pet. Johnnie was q very
delicate lad, and not able to play with
the rough, strong boys Of the village
where he lived. He was very fond of
all animals, but especially of dogs. He
trained his little pet to be a servant as
well as playmate. When he was out
in the field looking after his mothers
COW, he sometimes felt hungry; and
then doggie was sent home for a scone,
which he brought back wrapped up in
lowell or perhaps in a basket. But,
sometimes, dOggie would appear be-
fore his master with piece of bread in
his mouth and with pleading look in
his eyes, as much as to say: Master,
you are forgetting yourself. | am sure
you must be hungry. What would
you do without me to look after YOU p"
On these occasions, dOggie and the
hens shared the bread between them,
Johnnie had him about two years,
when his cousin, who was a cattle
dealer, saw him and asked to get him.
Johnnie, pressed by his mother, parted
with him, but very reluctantly. AS he
grew older, he grew stronger, and some
few years afterward went to Glasgow
College. One day,-while walking
along Argyle street, l think it was
he was surprised by a dog rushing
across the street, and jumping about
him as if it were in a delirium of Joy.
He could not understand it until he
saw his cousin crossing the street to
speak to him. He then knew that it
was his old pet and playmate that had
greeted him SO efiusively. But dOggie
was to show still another proof of his
affection for, while the cousins were
talking, he rushed into a bakers shoL
and made off with roll, which he laid
with an air of triumph at his old mas
ter's feet. For once, doggie had not
mistaken his masters condition; fol
the poor student felt far more hungry
than ever he had felt while tending
his mothers COW in his far
away Highland home. But il
would not do to eat stolen bread. So
matters were explained to the baker
who gave doggie the roll as a reward
When the friends parted, was ever dos
so distressed or so divided between
duty and inclination? He first raj
after one master and then after thu
other, until he was likely to get lost be
tween them. At last, the cattle-deale
settled the matter by taking him up il
his arms and carrying him.
And, now, will tell those of m!
young friends who happen to live il
Glasgow secret. If they 90 alonj

Sandy was a shepherd dog, one of
which any master might be prOud-sO
quick and bright and cunning in get
ting off the tricks that were taught him.
Sandy and the Maltese cat were great
friends. One day, Tabby brought into
the house three young kittens whose
eyes were just opened. Sandy enjoyed
taking them up by the neck in his
mouth, and shaking them gently, and
playing with them as the mother cat
did; and he was laughed at and en-
cOuraged by the members of the
family.
After little, Sandy's master went
away and was gone about three weeks.
When he returned, Sandy met him at
the gate with sundry canine manifesto.
tiOns of joy.
What about the kittens, Sandy ?"
asked his master.
Immediately the dogs happy look
changed to one of shame and sorrow.
He dropped his head and went Sinking
of, with his tail between his legs. His
master saw no more of him that day,
and at night, inquiring for him, was
told that he was out by the wOodpile,
lying Ill.
1t came out that Sandy had killed all
the kittens. 1t seems, as they grew
older, they did not like his familiar
ways, and they would scratch him
and one after another, as they did this
he bit them and despatched them, and
they were buried in the garden under
one of the apple trees. When Sandy
found that he was not to be punished
for his wrOng-dOing, he recovered, and
was soon his old frOlicsome self again
If little boy had acted something a.

was suffering the pangs of a troubled
