''And nobody didn't steal the best

ONE YEAR IN HEAVEN.
By EBEN E. RExFoRD.


One wear in Heaven. o, blue-eyed little darling,
One year an angel by the throne of God;
a flower of earth transplanted to the garden,
Where never yet grave has marred the SOD.
o, child, SO dear we often feel you near us,
Here, as of old, beside each loving heart
We call your name, and love to think you hear
us;
Here, yet in Heaven-so near, yet far apart
So far apart2 No. It's not far to Heaven.
Gods world and ours touch in the grave s
green sod
And what we lose on earth in pain and sorrow
We find in gladness in the world OF God.
o, happy voice, that drove away all sorrow
From those who loved you in this lower land,
How sweet the songs are that you join In sing
ing
Too sweet as yet, for us to understand.
How sweet the thought. In Heaven fair,
pure angel
Is ali our own, our own forevermore.
Though we are poor in all of earth's posses sions,
In God s dear world what treasure is in store
o. joy above all other joys, to see thee,
TO clasp thee, kiss thee, have thee of old,
And know in Heaven there is no loss or parting,
But always joy and happiness untold.
Watch for us, darling Watch and wait our
coming.
Be at the golden gate to let us through,
And may the sight that greets us first In
Heaven
Be one, we pray, dear little one, of you

Mexican senorIlas.

The stranger in Mexico, especially i
he be young and good-looking, is liable
to be surprised, at his first ball here,
when some pretty senorita, whom he
has never seen before. trips up to him
with an engaging smile on her face and
something that looks like an egg in he;
hand, and suddenly smashes the lattg
over his Uranium.
To one not acquainted with the cas-
carone custom it is startling, to sayths
least. Luckily, however, the egg has
been robbed of its usual interior, the
contents having been emptied through
a small hole at one end. The shell Is
then refilled with finely chopped tinssl
and colored paper, with the addition
OF sachet powder or some dainty tim
kets, after which the opening is neatly
closed by bit Of paper pasted over it.
In the good old days of the Spanish
aristocracy the egg shells to be used
by the proud grandees at swell fan
dangos were filled with gold and dia-
mond dust. Similar extravagances are
sometimes INDUCED in nowadays, but!
rarely. Capetolpp ArGuS.
