B1THERS.

-
A kiss and kiss like the ocean,
Like the passionate fling Of its spray,
A kiss with its sweeping emotion,
And embrace in its masteIfnl way,
A love that leaps mp with the breakers,
With stretch of THEN tremulous arms
Obeying no law but the Makers,
That is reckless Of safety and harm
Then bend on bluff of biilow
10 the pulse of a feeling divine,
AS you slip from its glisteping pillow
With kiss that is Eucharist wine
Now ding me a kiss from your finger,
Like frail aad Gtntastical shell
Grown purple with Venus a-liDger
When she rose with the sea in a shell
A kiss from The ocean Of azure,
That is glowing with purple and pearl,
A toy that was carved for The pleasure!
Ola gay little angel girl.
Now hile in some closet OF waters,
With Plunge like white albatross,
As secret as oceans own daughters
That value possession by loss
Then back, as the billow unhnges,
To my mouth while cal you my own,
Lest parting and sorrowIus 5inge us,
Or the daylight be decked with moan

"Six things" says Hamilton,
care requisite TO make a home.
Integrity must be the architect,
and tidiness the upholsterer. 1t
must be warmed by affection. and
light with cheerfulness, and in
dustry must be the ventilaior,
renewing the atmosphere, and
bringing in fresh salubrity day by
day; while over all, as a protecting
glory and canopy, nothing will
suffice except The blessing of God"

1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you u bit OF headache
At the setting of the sun.
Tho tender words forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flowers you might have sent, dear
Are you hunting ghost tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out Of II brothers way,
The BIT of heartsome counsel
You were buried TOO much to say;
The loving touch of che hand, dear,
he gentle and Winsome tone,
1ha you had no time nor thought for,
With troubles enough ofyour own;
The little acts of kindness,
SO easily out Of mind;
I aose chances to be angels
Which every one may fUd
1ley come in night and silence,
E5cL child, reproachful wrath,
Waeo hope is faint and fagging,
Aud blight has dropped ON faith.
For life IS all too short, DEAR
And sorrow is al too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
It's The thing you leave uIdoae,
Which gives you the bit Of heartache
At the setting Of The sun.

A DECOY LETTER.

Pretty Girls Stocking.
Philadelphia News.

Philadelphia News.
Mr.. Q. b. Barrett, ex chief in
spector OF the United States secret
service, and now superintendent of
Spittall's detective agency, had a
queer experience some time ago in
a beautiful little town way down
in Maryland. 1t occurred before
his resignation last winter from The
secret service, aud was, as you may
guess, encOunl cred in the line Of
official duty. United States postal
inspectors are often called upon to
take hold of queer cases, to follow
slight clubs, to unravel tangled
stories, and to do it so thoroughly
that the heads of The department
shall be satisfied, and 10 secure the
results they seek. But it is not
every day that a secret service olli-
cial finds himself developing a case
SO remarkable, pathetic, and full
OF unanticipated perpleXities that
he himself is amazed, and yet that |
is what happened TO Mr.. Barrett |
not SO very long since, when he |
got faIrlyinto the case | mentioned, |
in that old-fashioned Maryland |
village.
There was a little postofiice there
where letters containing small
sums Of money had been LOST, and
Dne far morning in leafy June

prelented TO be going toward The
! gate 10 let him in. AS he paced
back and forth he noticed the
swinging feet Of the pOslmaster's
daughter, that one Of her stockings
had sagged down and that under
that stocking was the shape OF an
envelope.
Your stocking has dropped"
SAID Mr. Barrett.
The girl turned scarlet and white
and stopped rocking. She caught
her breath as il about to faint.
Now will you give me my let
ler!' asked Mr.. Barrett
She took it from its hiding-place,
handed il to him, and burst into a
lood Of passionate tears.
The 'decoy letter, as is usual in
cases Of this sort, had been fixed
so that it would be apparent to any
one that money was enclosed. 1t
had done It's work.
Where is your father? 2" asked
Mr.. Barrett,
''ln The garden, " sobbed the girl
Mr.. Barrett went out into The
garden, found the old man hoeing
and brought him in, and when he
was told all, he bowed his white
head and sobbed with his child.
The inspector learned that the girl
had admirers, as was natural; that
her father was very miserly, not |
giving her even the money needed |
for albright bit OF ribbon, new hat |
or a new dress; that she had been |
tempted to take money from the
mails for her wished-lor bits ofI
linery, and had done so. Mr.. Bar
rett bitterly accused the old man
Of being the one to blame, and he
acknowledged it.

Inspector Barrett left after force
NC the old man TO promise his

lijted his full report TO the head

is course was fully approved

THE POPE AND HOME RULE.

-
Lovers of liberty and of human rights
cannot help the conviction which forces
itself upon the mind that the pope has
done a grievous wrong TO the people of
Ireland in condemning the movement in
that unhappy country for the political
and social betterment Of the people. Why
the head of the great Catholic church
should have taken side with the cruel
and merciless oppressors Of a people
struggling for the attainment of tn,
the rights which inherc in the mankind
degradation and slavery, is Incompetent
sible to those who have lived in an at
nosphere of liberty. 1t has been charged
that this action was brought about by til,
Tory government agreeing to establish
diplomatic relations with the Vatican
pdth1s, perhaps, the first step would be
aken toward the restoration of the tenn
oIalpower Of His Holiness. Bat would
the Quirinal consent?
Civilization revolts at the treatment oi
he Irish people by the landlords. Jus
ice cries GU against the rack rents thai
rind the people and rob them OF q faiI
eward for their labor. The land com
mission finds that landlords exact from
100 to 100 per cent. more rental han is
just.
The moral sanction of Tory misrule by
the highest authority in the Catholic
church, which embraces within its sacred
fold more than t%wo-thirds of the victims
of Tory persecution, is one of the sur
prises of the situation. 1t has every
where been deplored except by the Brit
ish aristoeracy,
Michael Davitt once said hat the Cath
olics OF Ireland were willing to take their
religion from Rome, but not their poll
ties. 1t is hardly probable that the Irish
will heed the pope's pronunciad. The
time is past when political policies are
dictated with effect from an ecclesiastical
throne. An enlightened public senti.
ment has taken possession of the public
mind in all civilized lands. and it is i'm
patient of priestly domination.
The Irish leaders know they are
right; they are fighting for "A
a principle implanted in the human soul
by God himself and it vii! prevail despite
the fulminations of priests or of mon
archs.
The pope has made an unfortunate
alliance. The power of the Tory govern
ment is waning. The Liberals nave male
important gains in recent bye elections,
and if the percentage of increase con
tinues, the tenure of the Salisbury min
istry will be short. Liberalism is of slow
growth, but it is of steady growth. Jus
tice to Ireland will at last prevail. and
neither politicians nor ecclcsiasts can
obstruct its course. The revolution can
not go back.

odicals of all kinds issued in the United
States and Canada, now number 16, 80,
showing gain of $50 during the last

The publishers of the directory assert
that the impression that when the propri-
etor of newspaper undertakes to state
what has been his exact circulation, he
does not generally tell the truth is an
erroneous one: and they conspicuously
offer q reward of 500 for every instance
in their book of this year, where it can
