Baltimore, Md, June IL, SO.
Whit Sunday being day set a
pant by the b shops of the Meiho-
dist churches, as "l hlldren's day"
was generally observed as such
throughout the city, eand the
churches were given up almost
exclusively to the little folks. They
attested their appreciation of the
compliment by completely burying
the pulpits and affairs meath 'buds
and garlands gay" Special Sc
mons appropriate to the day Of
Pentecost were preached by the
ministers and the day was spent
here in religious circles as one OF
rejoicing.
On Whit Monday, commonly
known as holiday we were visited
by a most terrible rain storm,
which spoiled the fun of many
lawn and picnic parties and park
sociables. Lit was a repetition OF
the Both OF May, much to the re-
gret of the many working people
who had set the occasion apart as
one of refreshment and rest.

The Bridegroom Was Not Posted.


A young man in neighboring city APP
piled recently for marriage license and
the clerk in attendance said in answer to
his request, after he had made some other
inquiries: "What was the name of the
lady's father?" "You've got me there"
was the response. swell, then, what was
her mothers name?" 81 give it up" was
the answer. "You seem to be profoundly
ignorant regarding your intended wife's
family, but perhaps you'll be communica-
tive enough to tell me the age of the lady
you intend to lead to the altar" said the
long suffering registrar. The reply was.
Couldn't, upon my life; never asked
her; she's got red hair" Finally an old
acquaintance of the lady came forward and
and the affair was settled in short space
In a satisfactory manner.

THE NEW LIBRARY.
The Grand Structure to Be Erected Ne
the Capitol Building.

the Capitol Building.
The plan adopted proposes a build,
ing of ample dimensions, to hold ulti-
mately three million books, measuring
four hundred and fifty feet by three
hundred, and covering about two and
nine-tenths acres of ground. The
style of architecture is of the Italian
renaissance order. Its interior ar
rangements are approved by the Libra
rian. The building is designed to be
of stone in the exterior and of iron
and concrete in the interior, entirely
fire-proof in all its parts. 1t is pleas
ing and, it is held, a sufficiently ornate
edifice, without extravaganza, and is
intended to be entirely in harmony
with the Capitol.
This is to be erected in the three
squares lying between B street north
and East Capitol street and First and
Second streets east. or else in the cor
responding squares between B street
and East Capitol street and First and
Second streets east These three
squares on either side embrace about
226, 1877 square feet, to which is to be
added 270, 600 square feet now occupied
by the intersecting streets running
through it, and for which, of course,
the Government would have nothing
to pay. The limitation in the bill Of
$550,00 for the purchase of property
was fixed on the basis of the values OF
property in the three squares on the
north side of East Capitol street.
1t is not designed to fit up the whole
interior at once with iron shelving, but
to introduced gradually, finishing of
the central portions, rotunda and con-
Meeting rooms, and the entire exterior
structure. The chief element of cost is
in the iron alcoves of the interior, and
these may be finished in successive
years, as wanted for the increase of
books. Careful estimates of cost con-
template an expenditure of only $780,
600 the first year, about 81, 100000 the
second and $S00,00 the third, which
will complete the building for occu-
pancy in all its parts, sufficient for
shelving 100000 books, and leaving
space for the gradual introduction OF
additional iron alcoves in the coming
fifty years, the ultimate gross cost Of
which, it is estimated, will not exceed
100000, or an average of less than
$4,000 year.
The area covered by the building oil
the British Museum is five acres; area
of the National Museum of France, al
Paris, four and one-half acres; area Of
Capitol building, three and one-hali
acres; area of the proposed National
Library. two and nine-tenths acres

A SONG AND A PRAYER.

A song for the girl we love-
God love her!
A song for the eyes with their tender vile,
And the fragrant mouth with its melting
smile,
The rich brown tresses uncontrolled,
That clasp her neck with tenderest hoid,
And the blossom lips and the dainty chin,
And the lily hand that we try to win.
The girl we love-
God love her.
A prayer for the girl we loved
God loved herl
A prayer for the eyes of faded light,
And the check whose red rose waned to White,
And the quiet brow with its shadow and
CLEAN,
And the lashes dropped in long deep dream.
And the small hands crossed for the church
yard rest,
And the flowers dead on her sweet dead
breast,
The girl we loved
God loved herl
