One of the strangest couples ever
seen in this city were buying toys
and Christmas things at the stores.
The popularity was the great differ

inches in height, and weighed only
100 pounds. HE wife's height was 4
feet 2 inches, while her weight was ex-
actly that of her husband. They were
buying presents for eight boys and
eleven girls. They lived near the

A little while after, Mr.. Hollster
declared that he had found clerk

to housekeeping in small way.
Society generally did not find their
humble residence easily, but few
friends were still fond and true, and
in little while Vance Albright
made his way there.
He showed his liking for Lilly
more pointedly than he had ever
done before, and in this quiet life it
was much easier to learn to know
him truly.
"Mr. HOLSTER, will you let me
have your Lilly for my ownG" Vance
said, one morning. when he had found
the former alone. "She promises
her consent if l can get yours, and |
shall be a very happy man if | have
it,"

Mr.. HOLSTER. II like you Vance !;

The young man took Mr.. Hollis
ter's offered hand.
"When we are married" he said,
81 can give my wife pretty home,
though not a splendid one. Will
you honor me by sharing it? When
people love each other as Lilly and
you do, they should not be parted"
Mr. Hollister smiled.
"Thank you, my boy" he said.
"You must let me pay my way, as
long as can, and under these con-
ditions | will come"
And so the wedding took place,
simple wedding, but very merry
one, and the young couple went off
upon honeymoon trip.
They did not return weary of its
sweetness they felt assured that life
had more to give them of happiness
than they had yet experienced
1t was a union of hearts, as well as
of hands.
Vance had mere competence, but
Lilly did not sigh for the splendor
which had been hers for 80 brief
period.
In their little cottage thew found
Mr.. Hollister, looking particularly
well and happy.
He embraced his daughter, shook
hands with Vance, and burst into
merry laugh.

"and | cannot keep mine any longer.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE YELLOW ELMS.

She lay within her chamber, pale and i'll,
Bound TO her bed by cruel bonds OF pain;
Outside the leaves were falling-al was still
save for the dripping OF the dull, sad rain.
The elms that year were yellow all the way
From tops to those low boughs that fringe and
grace
Their tall, straight trunks, like little curls that
stray
And cling, careSsing, DER a womans face.
And through the leaves, as though yellow pane,
The light shone in all golden. on her bed,
And every morn, unwilling of the rain,
"Another sunny day." she, smiling, said
She never knew how gloomy, dark, and gray
Those long days were. In time we came to
bless
The slms, that gave her sunshine every day,
And robbed the rain of all its dreariness.
