sAp-EYED SUFFERERS IN A Chill
pRENs HOSPITAL.

The Pine and the BIaple-"Of That Fair
Kingdom None Can Enter In, without
Becoming First n Little Child"-Chn-
radS-'Incurable."
In the large cities the hospitals for sick poor
have wards set apart for children alone.
Some of the little ones have never had kind
word, clean bed or taste OF nice 1000 In
their wretched lives until they got them In
the hospital Therefore the hospital, cruel as
the treatment must sometimes be, Is Ike
glimpse of paradise to them Mrs NJ. l.
Rayne writes of q child's hospital that she
visited:
II YOU have never been in the childrens
ward of great hospital GO there and learn
from these little ones how to suffer and be
strong"
All day long they lie there, weeks, nay
months, at time, suffering from painful dis
ease or fractured limbs, yet they will greet
YOU with smile, though no wave OF color
will suffuse the deadly whiteneSs Of cheek and
brow, and the tiny form quiyers in the grasp
of cruel pain. They lie there in the cool,
clean ward on sweet white cots, with no yes
terdays to remember and no to-morrows 70
welcome. They live only day by day, and
their happiest hour is that in which lie
giveth His beloved sleep"
There can be no more pathetic sight in the
world than this Here is the insignia OF SUI
fering in the pulleys which straighten the
deformed limbs. This little boy with the
white face and pale, transparent hands Is
wound with the surgeons bandages and sup
ported by these appliances of medical skill.
But the doctors know that he is incurable.
There are toys near him, but he has no heart

A Gallon of Molasses for . Pin

One fine day Scrigglesyille man came 10
town with pailful OF clans, which he sold.
Then washing out tho pail carefully, he had
gallon Of molasses poured into it and started
for home Feeling the weight Of his burden,
hc put stick through the pail and hung the
pail over his shoulder. Presently, jogging
along in an distracted fashion, the Scrigeles-
vile man espied pin in the road, and being
Of frugal turn he stopped over to pick it
up. This seemed to the molasses to Be Us
good chance as it could find, and II promptly
stepped out of the pail and walked all over the
back OF the Scrigglesville mans neck. GOOD

THE SICK GIRLS DOLLS.

Some one has sent a lovely bunch OF au'
tumn flowers TO sick lad Next to the hos
pital dolls, they delight the ward, and make
it light, and remind the visitor Of the poet
laureate's words:
They that can wander at will where the works OF
the Lord are revealed,
Little guess what joy can be got by n cowslip out
OF the field.
Flowers 10 those spirits in prison." are all they
can know Of the spring;
They freshen and sweeten the ward like the watt
Of an angels wing.
The youngest child in the children's hos
pital, and the most precious invalid Of them
all, is wee morsel of a baby that has found
there temporary home. 1t is only q little
forlorn waif that just drifted in with the other
flotSam and jetSam from the sea of humanity,
but the children love it, and there will be sor-
row in the ward when it is adopted into either
life or death.
The good citizens Of the world who estab-
lished the children's hospital "builded better
than they knew" 1t was happy thought to
care for the least Of one Of these poor and
helpless ones, and such monument of heav-
enly compassion reaches nearer the shining
lights than the proudest personal memorial Of
carved marble that was ever designed
Surely these will be heirs
or that fair kingdom none can enter in,
Without becoming first n little child.

FASHIONlETS.

Snowshoe clubs are organizing in northern
Michigan, and 1880 worth of flannel uni
forms have been ordered from one tailor
alone. A tOboggan slide will also be built at
Marquette.
Monkey skin muffs will be fashionable.
Silver and blue fox are popular furs for
trimming.
The bridegroom at morning wedding
wears black cloth frock coat, vest to match,
gray trousers and white silk cravat, either
plsin, lepped or figured.
Music boxes, which come under the head Of
mxuries, are akin to jewelry and silverware,
uni therefore ought 10 be in stock, not only
in city stores, but in towns and villages.

IL not for two reasons-viz: First, because
do not wish to advertise house that does
not deserve it, and second, because there Is
nothing to prevent the landlords coming
down here to see about it. There Is really
nothing about operating hotel like his which

This hotel has the old style Of annunciator,
consisting OF large, dropsical green card with

The chambermad at this hotel was a tall
colored man named Isaac, who had formerly
| been tho concierge Of livery stable on the
| Rue de Butternut at Nashville.
He was emancpated during the war, and
received the freedom which properly be-
| longed to a whole plantation. Instead OF di-
viding it up and giving the other slaves their
proportion, he had retained, and, as it were,
| embezzled the freedom Of twenty seven other
people.
AS a result of this, he had more freedom
| than 1 had. Ho came into my room fire.

through the base OF the garment gradually,

Isaac never raped on the door before enter

| with the blessed boon of freedom that he
roamed around through the hotel, entering
any room where he thought there would be
nothing for him TO do but to get right out
| again.
So, while | was working my way up
through heavily starched shirt one day and
could not see anything, while was wildly
clutching at the empty air, there was a
soft football on the threshold and the door
