Lamm's Bank Account.

Among the most curious examines of
the unreasonable Anglomaniac is a
young man about town of the name of
Lamfn. At least, if his name i NOT
Lamm, il may as we'll be fov an ,,resens
purposes. He is wealthy. ! college
graduate and fellow of rare inteili-
gence. If his mind had not been
wrecked by this unhappy mania. he
would be an agreeable companion So
clallytands perhaps useful in an honor
able profession. But he is comnletelv
given over TO Anglicisms. He does not
often 60 abroad. but he keeps chnmbers
all the while in London. He knows
nothing about American horses or race
courses. but he is perfectly informed
about every stable in the United King-
dom, and bets on the Derby and the St
Ledger with singular astuteness. If his
glib recital of heraldie Specifications
and of Lord So-and-sos family tree
from the main trunk to the remotest
twig is any sign of his familiarity with
the peerage. he must have forgotten
more than Edmund Lodge ever knew.
Lamm is something unique in his
Anglo-maniacs. To his acquaintance.
no matter how dull be their sense of
humor, he is Il constant source of finn.
His pose, which represents more labor
and study than does his college degree.
is one of his most striking acquisitions
The letter 5 has not more curves and a
lizard standing on its tail would not
make more obvious effort. Among the
stories told OF Lamm is this, which oc-
cured last summer:
An acquaintance who happened 20
have left his money at home, met him
one night, and asked him for the loan
of 800.
Certainly. deah boy," answered
Lamm. Pm parfectly delighted to be
of sarvice to you. But viii twenty
pound be enough?"
Loads" answered bis friend, with q
broad grin on his face at the reference
TO twenty pound"
Lamm counted out the .twenty
pound" in ten good American $40 bills.
and handed them over.
I've plenty OF money in bank. said
the gentleman. "and if YOU like. I'll lust
draw you check for this" He pulled
little check book from his pocket such
as young swells carry about with them
from which they pay their bets and pro-
eeeded to fill it out
Lamm lazily lifted his eyeglasses and
regarded the operation with an air of
dainty disdain.
.'Deah boy" he said. "whatth deuce
y'know. is that?'

Another new year, While its moments fly
Be it our aim to live each passing day
Upright and pure, thrustng all evil by,
And walking firmly in the holy way

That so, in all we're called to do no fear
May rise to turn our thrusting hearts astray
From that bright cline, whose splendors

Another new year comes to all this day,

Another new year comes to all this day
And every bosom with emotion swells
And on the face the smile that like ray
OF sunlight beams, or quiet gladness, tells
OF that rare peace which in the pure heart
dwells,
And crowns its being with bliss supreme.
Oh. JOY. how full thy yet unfathomed wells!
How sweet the draught! how bright thy
waters gleam
How like heavens living springs they to

CALLING THE fNGELS IN.

We mean to do it. Some day, some day,
We mean to slacken this feYered rush
That is wearing our very souls away;
And grant to our loaded hearts hush
That is only enough to let them hear
The footsteps of angels drawing near.
We mean to do it. Oh, never doubt,
When the burden of daytime broil IS o'e-,
Wen sit and muse while the stars come out,
As the patriarchs sat at the open door
Of their tents with q heavenward- gazing
eye,
To watch for the angels passing by.
We've seen them afar at high noontide,
When fiercely the worlds hot flashing beat;
Yet never have hidden them turn aside,
And tarry awhile in converse sweet,
Nor prayed them to hallOw the cheer we
spread,
To drink of our wine and break our bread.
We promise our hearts that when the stress
OF the life-work reaches the lOnged-fOr
close,
When the weight that we groan with, binders
less,
Well loosen our thoughts to such repose
As banisheS cares disturbing din,
And then-we'll call the angels in.
The day that we dreamed of comes at length,
When, tired of every hooking quest,
And broken in spirit and shOrn of strength,
We drop, indeed, at the door Of rest,
And wait and watch as the day wanes on
But the angels we meant to call are gonel
