Is II n boy or girl? How often do we
hear this remark and question. Yes, it is
a pretty baby, hat how bad its mother looks.
She looks as if she were going right down.
She is SO thin and yellow, and her face is
covered with wrinkles and blotches. She
seems so nervous and irritable too; but it is
easy TO account for her condition, Child
birth has left her with prolapsus or other
displacements, poisoned blood, and disorder

best thing she can do is to Use at once DIR

Down the narrow woodland path to the
green, shady glen, whore handsome young

slender, white-draped figure with eager.

"Oh. Lee, am late but / couldn't help

"And here you are" finished her lover,
taking her hands and drawing her closer
GLOW radiant you look, Rene"
"But you are just the reyerse-positively
gloomy" she said lightly, then looked
more seriously into his face that wore a
look seldom seen there. "p'hat is it, Lee?
Your lips are stern and there are wrinkles
between your eyes"
Nothing, dear"
"Oh, but your very tone refules that
statement something has gone wrong

"Well, had few words with mother

trife abruptly.
Rene Arnold looked thoughtfully at him
an instant, then laid one hand on his
shoulder.

tones, ''you were speaking of Inc. Oh,

''She does not hate you, Rene; but let lis

soon those words would come TO her like q

AN ARTFUL DoDGER.

A lady came out on the steps of house
on Duilie!d street and called aloud in sweet
persuasive tones:

There was no answer, and she looked
anxlously up and down the street and
again called, but in finer tone:
'Georgier
Not a word. Taking in the entire hori-
zon with one sweeping, comprehensive
glance, she made a trumpet Of her hand
and called shrill and sharp:

Two hands upon the breast,
And labor's done;
Two pale feet crossed in rest
The race is won:
Two eyes with coin-weights shut,
And all tears cease;
Two lips where grief is mute,
Anger at peace"
SO pray we oftentlmes, mourning our lot.
God in his kindness answereth not.
Two hands to work addrest
Aye for his praise;
Two feet that never rest
Walking his ways;
Two eyes thta look above
Through all their tears;
Two lips still breathing love,
Not wrath, nor fears;
SO pray we afterwards, ow on our knees
Pardon those erring prayers! Father, heal

The Storm.

About l 20 O'Clock Monday morning
the inhabitants of Honolulu were awak-
ened from their slumbers by tremen-
dous peal Of thunder. Directly after
ward it commenced to rain, and it
poured down in torrents. 1t is a long
time since it rained SO hard. The storm
was accompanied by the most vivid
lightning. This state OF things contin-
ued until daylight, when the rain some
what abated. On SUNDAY there was
every indication that storm was brew
ing.
During yesterday morning the rain en-
tirely ceased, the sun shone brightly and
it looked as if it was going to clear up.
But about half-past l o'clock in the af-
ternoon the thunder was again heard and
there was another heavy downpour OF
rain, which continued for some time.
AS yet there is no sign of it clearing up.

Another Runaway Couple.

The San Francisco "Call," of January
oath, has the following in it's Oakland
correspondence: John Brevator, a
brakeman, residing in the First Ward,
became smitten with Lena Mitchell,
aged II years, daughter and legatee of a
deceased brakeman. Both were we'll
and favorably known in that section OF
town. Miss Mitchell's dot was 81 800.
The other day both left for Honolulu. 1t
was the common impression that the
departing couple were man and wife.
Now comes the mountaineering intelli-
gence that Brevator has a wife and two
children East, and that the whole family
are en- route to these parts.
