A MARINE PICTURE.

A broad bay stretching to the distance
With curying sweep in heightened reacn,
Framed in with sands of golden richness,
Inlaid with rocks along the beach;
Just back of these the slopes and passes
glorious background for the scene
With nodding flowers and waving grasses
Like velvet cushions placed between.
Near by the lar Of muffied pillows
Uplifting heav onward mighty hands,
And waste their strength In restless tosslngs
Or whisper secrets to the sands
OF tempe-ts dread and shattered vessels,
OF corpes rocked on distant waves,
OF tropic palms and iceberg masses
Which mark the sailors simple graves.
OF coral grots and caves of ocean
Where hide the secrets OF the seas,
OF island lovers lettering slowly
Mid flowers which scent the tropc breeze,
of waves which mirror smiles and bllSSeS-
Which twine together DER and Ger
And even mock their sighs and kisses
In gentle lisps against the shore.
We see the forms of grotesque creatures,
The gunbeams fash on silvere0 scales,
The seaweeds trail like mermaid tresses:
And sounds subdued of distant gales
Come soft and low in gentle murmurs,
Or organ voices, deep and stl ong,
Which distant echoes soothe and soften
To notes which memory treasures long.
All these and more no words can utter
Come to me from the beauteous sea;
It's voice. which sings Gods noblest anthems
Revealing hidden things to me:
Glad things or sad. which ever linger
And in my hearts deep chambers dwell,
As sounds of waves hide long and whisper
Within some pink-ined ocean shell;
Or echoes of some sweet-toned bell,
Or voices loved and treasured well.

The American Standard.

Eu opeans say that we Americans value
every thing by dollar and cent standard.
We Americans refute this as SANDER. Yet
is it not significant that at Gettysburg, of all
places in the land, the visitor is told first of
all that the battlefield monuments cost such
and such sum! This is not wholly the fault
of the particular guide or driver whom you
may engage to take you to the scene Of the
momentous action. Experience has taught
your pilot that the average visitor wishes to
be told at once the exact cost Of everything
he sees, as if that were the chief element in its
value, or as if it were any element Of absolute
value Thus, when we drove to the National
cemetery and stopped before the national
column which Lincoln dedicated in immortal
phrase, our driver began: ''This monument
cost $4,000" A murmur of appreciation ran
instantly through the human freightage of
our coach. One individual however, ex-
claimed: "Humph! Didn't cost within So, 600
as much as our monument at -, Massa-

Servants of an English Household.


At family prayers the servants come in in
regular order according to their position,
housekeeper and ladies' maids first-the men
lin their ORDER following the maids. The
servants dinners, too, are conducted with
much ceremony. The under servants wait
on the upper ones, etc. Indeed, the servants
are great sticklers for and observers of rules
of precedence, and conservers of social dig
nifty and etiquette among themselves. And
they expect, and require, nay demand it, to
an intensified degree among their masters and
mistresses A gentleman or lady who neglected
to observe or follow any of the trivial niceties
or ceremonies of high life would lose caste at
once in the eyes of their servants, and forfeit,
with their respect, all influence with them.
l can fancy the effect on the groom of the
chambers or the butler, if any gentleman ap-
peared at a home dinner except in full even
ing dress. Why, not only would these men
consider themselves degraded in the house,
but scandalized throughout the neighbor-
hood, through which the tidings would soon
spread The only excuse to be made for q
gentleman SO wanting in dignity as to dine
III suit of dittoes would be that he was &C.
centric, and no one cares to be thought that.
The ladies' maids, too, could never brook q
failure to dress for dinner on the part of
their mist1esses. And 50, for fear of the
resentful eye of the house steward or butler,
smoking is confined to the smoking room;
soup is never INDUCED in twice; beer not
drunk at dinner save in one draught from a

Apropos Of "Horse Whispering" CORE
spondent points out that the mystery is very
simply explained by Borrow. Here are his
words in the "Romany Rye" 81 knew a cob
in Ireland that could be driven to a state of
kicking madness by particular word used by
particular person in a particular tone: but
that word was connected with very painful
operation which had been performed upon
him by that individual, who had frequently
employed it at certain period while the ami
NAL had been under his treatment. The same
cob could be soothed in q moment by another
word used by the same individual in very
different kind of tone-the word 'deagh-
blasda,' or sweet tasted. Some time after the
operation, while the cob was yet under his
hands, the fellow-who was what the Irish
call a fairy smith-had done all he could to
soothe the creature, and had at last succeeded
by giving it gingerbread buttons, Of which
the cob became passionately fond. Invari-
ably. however, before giving it button he
said sDeaghblasda,' with which word the cob
by degrees associated an idea of unmixed en-
joyment. So, if he could rouse the cob to
madness by the word which recalled the tor
ture to its remembrance, he could easily
soothe it by the other word, which the cob
knew would be instantly followed by the
button. which the smith never failed to give
him after using the word 'deaghblasda. '"-St
James Gazette.

The Half Price Boy.

That fall Mr.. Wilkins sold his house and
tried boarding for the winter. And it would
have been very funny, if it had not been very
sad, to hear Mrs. Wilkins bargaining for
room and board for two, with little child
thrown in.
He was very small eater she said, and
could easily be fed from her plate, and he
would wait and not require an extra seat at
table, and sleep on a sofa in her room, SO he
would be no trouble to any one.
So he was included, like cat or parrot,
with their belongings, and he said not word,
though he held his mothers hand, and read
her face with his great blue eyes while she
haggled about him. And she told his father
that Harley had outgrown his foolish baby
fashion of asking questions.
But he thought Oh, deep in his little
heart he thought, and thought over the COM
plex mysteries of life.
One night he lay awake on the sofa bed
and could not sleep. His head was hot and
felt twice its natural size. Pretty soon he
began to talk His mother and father heard
him and said:
HE is dreaming"
But it was they who were dreaming. The
child was waking-waking in the morning
that has never noon or night.
His mother heard his last few words with
an agony of remorse that came too late.
"Please, dear God, let me in. Haven't
any ticket nor money and am 8 years old
and half price. Nobody wants me. There
isn't any place for a little boy without
money. If you'll just take me up there
won't be in anybody's way-aud rm-so-
tired-so tired"
His head dropped. The flush on his cheek
faded-the tired little heart was at rest for
ever.-Detroit Free Press.
