chains, bracelets and watches that the
grateful passengers pressed her to ac-
cept as tokens of their gratitude for
saving their lives.
At last Polly grew tired of so much
praise and spoke out:
"Really, l don't deserve your thanks,
for ! never once thought of any one but
papa and mamma. So keep your pres
ents for your own little girls. Thank
you all the same"
Those that heard her laughed, seeing
they could do nothing better for her than
to let her remain unnoticed for the short
distance she had to 90.
When Polly was lifted out of the car
and stood upon the steps Of the station
while her father looked after the lug
gage, the passengers threw kisses and
waived their handkerchiefs to her until
they were out of sight
A few days afterward Polly was aston
ished at receiving a beautiful ivory box,
containing an exquisitely enameled
medal, with these words engraved upon
it:
presented to Polly Gardner, whose
courage and presence of mind saved q
hundred lives. y Kahkss Biadl.

CONTENT.

Why should we mourn DER a sorrowfIll past
And crave for peace that will come at lastl
Each life hath woes that are keen to bear
It's pains and its heartaches and its despair,
1t is better tO laugh than TO sigh and grieve;
To sorrow in tears is not to live
From pain win gain and be content
Why should we fear in a halting-place
To peer beyond with an eager facet
Each life hath gloom and bewildering waste
Where fruits grow fair that are bitter to
taste.
1t is better TO haste through thorny way
Than to halt in its path to wait new day
Make fair each care and be content
Why should we sigh for dear love- dead,
That was lost to our life by faith miseadi
Each life hath joy, that wins and Stays
With its promise of hope and sad delays.
1t is better to watch by a fading CLEAN
Than to waken TO gloom from vanished
dream
Endure and thou'rt sure to find content
Why should we fail or falter in strife
'Twixt good and the i'll that prevail in lifel
In reaching for heights, unblest or blest,
Each soul of us hath some war with rest;
Crowned or uncrowned at the end of the
fight,
Tis better to battle than flee inf alright,
Better to lose than to lament
He hath enough who hath contentl

P0Ongyee Pets.

Not far from Maudalay, Burmah, about
seventy-five miles up the river IRA

an ancient poougyee kioung. The
priests belonging to this kioung have
made pets of the large fish that inhabit
the river at that place. These fish are a
species of channel cat, or blue fsh-ugly
brutes without scales, having wide
mouths and stiff, sharp-pointed spines
on their heads aud backs. They attain
to great size and are from four to five
feet in length. When any of the saffron
colored clothed fraternity go to the
waters edge and call out: "Tee.tee'

and, opening wide their capacious Jaws,

O them. 1t is most amusing to see
their ugly heads pro jecting out of the
water as each tries to get the coveted
norsels. They push, wrangle and fight
until all the food is devoured. They
will follow any of the Poongyees who
may be walking beside the river on the

Boil three thoroughly fresh eggs for
twenty minutes, then let them cool.
Take six anchovies, wash them, wipe
them in a cloth, cut of the heads and
fins aud scrape away the skins. With
the fingers and thumb split them open
down the back and take the tillcts or
sides from the backbone. Prepare some
lettuce by tearing it up into tiny bits
and dressing it with mayonuaise. Then

salad and the tillets of two auchovies
Press the slices together, with sharp
knife divide them into small squares,
and arrange them on a dish covered
with a napkin. The loaves of bread
must, of course, be large to make the
sandwiches of proper size.-Brooklyn

THEoLDLEATHER LATCH-sTR1No.

THE OLD LEATHER LATCH-STRING.
How dear to my heart is the home of my
childhood,
A clap board rooted cabin half hidden from
view
Where grew like a weed springing up in the
wildwood,
And clung TO the home which had sprung
up there too;
The old lean 10 kitchen, the smoke-hous9 be-
side IL,
The straw stack with shelter Of thatch
covered DER
The ash hopper near, where the wood-shed
could hide il,
And o'en the rude latch-string which hung
on the door;
The old.fashioned latch-string,
The brown-faded latch string,
The long leather latch-string
Which hung on the door,
Tho latch-string! how often when hungry and
jadod
l graspcd it quite carefully lest it should
catch:
For l knew it was rotten as well as quite
So pulled it down gently, to lift up the
latch
The noon meal was ready--how quickly l
seized it
A bowl full of mush with sweet milk brim-
ming DER.
Not full-blu hing goblet could tempt me TO
leave it,
When l pulled the old latch string which
hung on the door;
The o!d-fashione1 latch-string,
The brown faded latch-string,
The long leather latch-string
Which hung on the doorl
The shotpouch carried methinks still see
And the same frisky Squirrel that pestered
my soul,
AS | shouldered my flint lock and hastened to
tree it,
But alas, it fed from me and hid in hole
The old weedy cowyard still fondly view it,
And the path, with tall horse -nettles thick
ly grown DER,
How scratched my bare feet every time l
ran through it..
To reach the old latch. string which hung
on the door;
The old-fashioned latch. string,
The brown faded latch string,
The long leather latch-string
Which hung on the door!
And when far away strayed from that
dwelling
Returning, l hailed it with many shout,
for knew at glance-'twas a signal un-
falling
That the folks were at home when the latch
string was out
But the dreams have all faded which
fondly cherished,
When barefoot l romped on the old
puncheon floor;
And the clep,board rooted cabin itself has
nigh pershed,
As well as the latch string which hung on
the door:
The old-fashoned latch-string,
The brown faded latch string,
The long leather latch-string
Which hung on the door!
Inc spring branch still runs at the foot of
the meadow
Where we cut the tall clover AMI pasturel
our ilocks,
But the harvest time held DER my life darl,
shadow
For l hated to "cradle,' and pile up the
shocks;
And now, when removed from that loved
situation,
The tears OF regret will iutrusvely pour
As fancy revert' to the old habitqtion,
And signs for the latch-string which HING
on the door;
The o!d-fashione latch-string,
The brown faded latch-string,
The long leather latch string
Which hung on the door!
