Winter is Coming.
BY s. r. NJ.

"Winter is coming" says the city belle,
As by the merry fire she sits to hear
The wind, that such story seems to tell
Of woe and sadness with its meanings drear
But little recks she; winters only bring
To her new pleasures balls, and parties gay,
Velvets and furs and other pretty things;
On her his chilly hand cannot lay.
"Winter is coming" says the business man,
But buttons up his OvercOat so warm;
Then, as he walks lays many fertile plan
About his prosperous counting house or farm.
To make more money keen, although his gains
Are large already, still he wishes more,
And of the hardness of the times complains
Whilst adding to his ample store.
"Winter is coming" shouts the rosy child,
As through the fallen leaves he runs with glee,
His bright eyes sparkling and his locks blown
wild,
He comes up laughing to his mothers knee,
10 speak of sedging down the snowy hill,
OF snow ball battles they will have at school,
To plead for skates with which to show his skill
Amongst his playmates on the frozen pool.
"Winter is coming" in the attic room
The white faced seamstress quick her needle
plies;
With anxious looks she notes the gathering gloom,
And choking back sob she sadly sighs,
at is so hard this toiling on for bread
That L can scarcely eat when it is won;
AL me SOmeIlineS C0lnk snail DC uedu
Before the dreary winter time is DONE"
'Wnter is coming" is the fathers moan,
He turns upon the couch where he is laid,
Looks ON his loved ones with stiffied groan,
Then swiftly turns to hide his head.
He has been i'll, he knows that work is scant;
The children they are many, food is dear;
He can't but pray, "May God keep us from want"
All, winter is king of terror here.
"Winter's coming" and the shivering form
Upon the door step up yon dismal street
Gathers the rags that shield it from the storm
About its frost nipped hands and number feet;
A city arab, rude. untaught, and wild;
A thief, perhaps, who turks in haunts of crime,
All how he breads the cold, bleak winter time.
"Winter is coming" says the great and small,
But, oh, with what difference in the tone;
Welcomed to the cosy cottage, home and hall
In poorer dwellings greeted with moan
Oh, may the King who rides upon the wind
Temper the blasts to those who dread it so;
May he upraise true hearts and hands so kind
To feed his little ones among the snow.

Not s'Smarf.''
Youths Companion.

Of all forms of bad breeding, the
pert, smart manner affected by boys and
girls of certain age is the most often
sive and impertiment. One of those SO
called smart boys was once employed
in the office of the treasurer of West
ern railroad. He was usually left alone
in the office between the hours of eight
and nine in the morning, and it was his
duty to answer the questions of all call
ers as clearly and politely as possible.
One morning plainly dressed old
gentleman walked quietly in, and asked
for the cashier.
'He's out, said the boy, without look
ing up from the paper he was reading.
do you know where he is7'
mo-
when will he be in?'
"Bout nine o'clock
1T nearly that now, isn't it? l
haven't Western time
There's the clock, said the boy
smartly, pointing to clock on the wall.
'Oh, yes; thank you,' said the gen.
tleman. Ten minutes until nine. Can
l wait here for him?'
Il s'pose so, though this isn't pub
lie hotel
The boy thought this smart, and he
chuckled aloud over it. He did not
offer the gentleman chair, or lay down
the paper he held.
Il would like to write note while l
watt said the caller. will you please
get me piece paper and an envelope.
The boy did SO, and as he handed
them to the old gentleman, he coolly
said.
Anything else?'
YES was the reply. Il would like
to know the name of such smart boy
as you are
The boy felt fattered by the word
Smart, and wishing to show the full
extent of his smartness, replied:
T'm one of John Thompson's kids,
William by name, and answer to tue
call of Billy But here comes the boss !
The boss came in, and, seeing the
stranger, cried out:
'Why, Mr.. Smith, how do you do?
Pm delighted to see you. We
But John Thompson's 'kid' heard no
more. He was looking around for his
hat. Mr.. Smith was president of the
road, and Billy heard from him later,
to his sorrow. Any one needing boy
of Master Billy's peculiar 'smartness
might secure him, as he is still out of
employment.

Lying as a Fine Art.

He sat in the smoker of the Northern

quite evident that he was from the rural
districts of Dakota. There were wreat
sprouts in his hair and sort of real es-

pulled contentedly at short-Stemmed

n9-A newly married couple who
started from Portland on wedding trip
the other day were having hard time
at last accounts. 1t seems that while
the bridegroom was looking after the
baggage at the station his best man, who
was trife nervous, hurried the bride
into the wrong car and started her for
Boston one train too soon. The dis
consolate husband took the next train,
but got to Berwick only to find that his
bride had returned to Portland. She,
against the advice of friends, did not
stop there, but started west again and
got to Boston at the same time he again
reached the starting place. At last ac-
counts the two were hurrying backward
and forward as fast as steam could take
them, each frantically trying to over
take the other.-Angusta Me. Journal.

There were three of us walking over the

We passed along and about ten minutes
later the two old musketS began to pop. The

hour and then there was deep silence. When
he circled around and struck the highway
we saw one man logging it up the ROAD and
the other down, while white man nodded
