Penny Coffee Stands.


An intelligent and well-directed effort is being
made in Brooklyn to relieve the of the
very poor. Coffee stands have been started in
different parts of the city, where half pint Of
coffee with milk and sugar and slice of bread
can be bought for a cent The coffee is of the
best quality. also the sugar and milk and
the bread is prepared especially for the purpose.
Four of these stands have been established and
have been in operation since Oct. /, 1887
The experiment. is under thu charge of as
ISOLATION of women, one Of whom studied tho
cheap coffee system in London before starting
the enterprise in Brooklyn. Thus far the num-
Der of people fed has been about 1000 day
and the cost of the food supplied has been about
1921 month. The sales it will thus be seen,
meet the cost of the food supplies and leave a
small surplus which is applied towards the pay
ment of the rent In addition to this alsds is
tho cost for service, which has averaged about
$50 week at the four stands. The deficit of
81 month for the whole enterprise has been
met by voluntary contributions of those inter-
ested in the experiment.
Brooklyn is the first city in this country to
give trial to this method of supplying work
ingmen and workingwomen with wholesome
food at cost prices In every great city there is
a large amount of destitution, especially during
the cold months of the year. How much of it
could be avoided if the working classes exer-
cised economy and foresight this is not the
place TO discuss. The fact that this want exists
must be recognized, and the method of relieving
it which partakes the least of charity and en-
courages the least dependency in the recipient
deserves the largest degree of support.

The Year Of Grace

Last year the roses doomed red,
AS red as fire, as blood dear
So red it never could be right
The boding heart within me said
'They red they must be white
Next year!"
Last year there was such waste of gold.
The yellow flowers grew near
The meadows green could scarcely show,
You gathered more than you could hold;
But spring came silver white with snow
This year!
Now you may watch the pale moon rise,
And may see the sunsets drear.
All green's look grayer than before.
Or do we see with other eyesa
And not together any more
This year!

How could one live through day like this,
Sweet! were one not with his books or in lovea
1 am both; am happy; with that dear bliss
Of lovers who have faith to prove
OF readers who have no task for needing,
But read from the sheer, sweet love of reading.
The sun is dead, and the clouds hang low,
And the winds are weeping dirge. What though?
My life is full; in my heart know
IT is only distance keepeth the kiss
On thy lips from mine
On nv lips from thine;
No task to learn, faith to prove
Oh, how could one live through day like this
Sweet! were one not with his books or in lovea

The Dialect Craze.
o Robert Louis Stevenson,
The fashion toward you now doth run,
And poets small and poets great
Must scratch line to celebrate
The virtues that your genius earns,
In words that smack of Bobby Burns.
Whose blythe and Draw, and taen" and "twa's'
Are intertwined with much of praise.
You must not think it strange if thus
Their verses look like some rebus:
With wis" and INA s" forced in thick
There's scarcely room for ''frae" and s'sic"
For though they may not know the land
Where you were born, they understand
That quite the proper thing to do
Is to pretend though they do.
Since now with you do abide,
1t may be you'll be Yankeefied,
And in your cottage by the lake
world reputation make,
With tales and legends of the land
You have adopted second hand
Alas, r. S., you not
That this must never, never BET
No sooner will your tales BY home
Than backward DER will
A thousand lines from Scottish friends
OF praise in verbal odds and ends;
As ''wal' and ''haint.. and 'hev' and thru
And fer and ''wuz," and EFF and ''du'-

Loves WAYS.

Two paths hath love for entering lovers feet
And one is broad and fair and very sweet,
And every grace of song and flower hath;
The other is a straight and narrow path
Where stones and brambles choke the bitter way,
And songs it hath. but never one is gay;
md some who enter with roses bound.
And some with thorns but may go uncrowned;
And yet both ways are thronged with eager feet,
And voices, gay and sad, chart-Love is sweet.

My Good Angel.
AS I drifted by night
With the wild tempest blowing,
Came ship into sight
With loves signal light glowing.
She appeared on the deck
As being God-gifted
And she saved me from wreck,
And my soul she uplifted.
In her presence stand
One TO whom love has granted
To be borne by her wand
Into gardens enchanted.
Like the shadows in flame
Are her eyes darkly beaming;
First in wonder came,
But linger in dreaming.
And her voice, with the charm
Of its cadence so tender,
Seems magical arm
That enfolds me in splendor.
For the speech-giving sign
On her head has descended,
And the powers divine
With the woman are blended.
So my heart sweetly sings,
And the ages may hear il,
For it clings to the wings
OF her beautiful spirit.

February.

Sometimes DER winter frozen dead
The sudden sun, unheralded,
Through clouds of ashes, flashes red,
AS from the valley of gray hairs
Fair Fortune sought till Hope despairs,
Sometimes o'ertakes US nnawares.
A wrinkled dame, grewsome waith,
She binds in haste the frosted swath
OF ife's ungarnered aftermath;
While through the fringe of crimson riffs
The sun, his clouded spendor Sits
Across the church-y Yards feeces drifts.
The souls, our souls, most sadly weep.
Await in their dreamless sleep.
While on the affairs of the frost,
Among the cold, white marbles lost,
CLOVIS winters solemn holocaust.
Roll on. sad earth, too prone we are
To dwell among the tombs, and swear
A dumb allegiance to despair
For all the prophets of the sky,
Foretell, when scarlet sunsets die,
A golden sunrise by and by.
Ard from the graves that hold our dead
With Gods sweet sunshine overhead,
We turn to living deeds instead.
0. earth. roll on, roll on, and swing
Past midnight into morning, bring
Our souls from win ter into spring.
