THE TEAR-KERCHIEE.

II is only a trifing thing to show
Just a kerchief. white IS the driven srow.
Yet many . tender and loving thought

For the scother wove II from fax that grew
And smiled in the field with its blossom blue:
She spun The thread whereof IL was made.
And WATCHED il carefully where twas laid.
That days war Il kisses and nights soft dew
Might bleach the web 10 its whitest hue;
And then IL was lovingly laid away
For the daughter 8 hand on her bridal DAY.
Oh few are the tears by the maiden she'd
On the day that her bridal lows are said.
They may fall as she meets her fathers kisa
Yet her heart is glad with her nuptial olisa.
She may fondiy cling 70 her mothers ssue.
Yet her lover claims her. his happy bride
She fears no. to give up her fair young lie
To the sacred duties and name OF wife;
And there is no gre: in the tears that noS
Ger the soft round cheek with its bluShing
glow,
And she smiles as she wipes them AL away
With the kerchief white on her bridal dag.
Daintily folded with tenderest care.
The young wife takefh the kerchief fair,
With scented rose-Ieaves and lavender spray.
Scarce dried from her tears i. is laid away.
There IN its fragrant and perfumed nest.
For many long years may the kerchief rest.
They will bring n their train both JOY and woe
As Time goes on in his ceaseless now.
But Love still maketh each burden light. -
And the home where he dwells is ever bright.
And the wife still smiles as she smird the Gay
She laid her kerchief with smiles away.
But Tine will pass and the years go on.
And each day fnce;h some duty done,
And the kerchief lies in its scented fold.
But snow has sprinkled the lair Of gold;
For the fair young bride is . matron Cow,
And wrinkles f2rrow the once smooth brow,
And her step is NO longer free and light,
And the hair IS . crown OF silvry white,
But her children arise and call her best.
And her husbands heart in her doth rest;
And the kerchie! lies rs twas laid away
BY the maideats hands on the bridal day.
But there comes . day when in peaceful rest
Those hands lie crossed on = quiet breast.
When the tender eyes are forever shut.
And the loving lips are forever mute.

FRENCH

They Are Not Up tn the STANDARD q o.
Pullman or Wagner Coaches.
Tie charge for q bed in the sleeping
cars from Basic to Calais. is about 19
francs, and from Basic to Paris. fer
some occult reason. Z francs more. BY
one Of those extraordinary arrange
mems that can exist only in countries
where nobody trusts any body. and
every body is suspected by every body
else. even the unfortunate traveller who
has hired a bed at 9:l5 is not allowed
to turn into it until 11:SO. the reason
assigned being that at the French
frontier the ''small baggage" must be
examined. and il people were allowed
to turn in" before the examination
took place there is no saying what
amount of tobacco and laces and the
rest of it might not be secreted in or
under the bed by the tourist Or by the
servants of the sleeping-car company.
When. however. the conventional cer-
emonial Of affirming that you have
''nothing to declare" has been gone
through and your dressing-bag has
been defaced by hieroglyphics in white
chalk. then the operation Of bed-mak-
ing in the wagon-lits commences. Any
one who has watched it will be disposed
to exclaim. with Macbeth: ''Sleep no
more" In a small and sometimes
filthy den barrow cushions and hard
pillows Of hoar antiquity are prefunc-
torily covered with a shabby rug and
a sheet, and under a covering OF a SIM
liar character the traveller who has
paid more than FL fer this extraor-
binary indulgence is invited to betake
himself to slumbcr. If he happens to
have . travelling companion they can
procure the luxury. such as it il, of
privacy. though one of them. on the
DOgberry principle, must needs sleep
OF the upper shelf, which is an exper-
fence several degrees more painful
than lying On the lower one. If the
number OF passengers be not equal to
the number Of beds they will be able,
by bribipg the person in charge, to get
q four-bed compartment. and thus both
will avoid the torture Of being sus-
pended from the ceiling.
As q rule these vacant compartments
are to be had by tipping the dirty Of
fetal In charge Of them and thus. per-
haps. for 25 shillings apiece two people
can secure the mitigation of misery We
have described. One of the main in
ducement- to many people to have re-
course to . wagon-lit is the belief that
at any rate in the morning they will be
able to have - good wash" and will
thus emerge from the train the simula-
ton of . civilized being instead Of an
Inwashed. unkempt unshaven savage.
Morning throws a fuller light on this
pleasing anticipation. As some of our
correspondents point out, the ''lavato-
~" arrangements in the sleeping cars
between Basic and Calais and between
Basic and Paris are abominable beyond
description. and can not be turned to
the slightest account by any one of the
most ordinary fastidiousness .-London

An Initiative Canary.

A week or two since ''Billy's" cage
stood upon its stand at the open win
dow. and a robin alighting upon q tree
near the house, belched forth one oil
those mournful ':yaps' which r al
ways distressing to hear. It was the
first time that the canary had heard. to
u knowledge. the call Of any bird
since he came last fall into the house.
At once he took up the mournful tone.
making sad work Of it at first. His
mistress could not divine what the
little fellow was attempting to initiate;
az he improved We at once took the
idea and told her it was the call of the
robin, and now in spite of all that can
be done to arrest his limitations. he il
constantly in~terpolating that call into
his own beautiful song. A sad illus
tration that evil communications cor
rupt good manners. While the bird
still experimenting upon that dis
NAL call We turned his attention from
it by repeating the name of his mis-
tress. in which exercise for the time
being he Joined heartily. All attempts
brighten him were vain, as he would
after the car was over sit upon his
perch and sing and whistle as If he
were enjoying the contest with his
master. We do not say that he was.
but canaries are no fools, as q will
become convinced If he handles them.

As a matter of fact electricity when
it shall become thoroughly subjugated
to mans will. will render possible the
accomplishment of things that are
now but mere fanciful dreams. When
jules Verne. that inimitable creator Of
fantastic things. wrote his Forty
Thousand Leagues Under the Sea-"
and described q vessel that travelled
beneath the waves by the aid Of cleo
tricsl machinery and was illuminated
by electric lights. he little imagined
that the time would so soon come when
his purely fauciful romance. concocted
merely to please the lovers Of fiction,
would become a possibility. The in
vention Of the storage battery and the
~perfecting of the electric light seem to
indicate that the submerged ship Of
Verne Is now no more an impOssi-
bility.
Modern invention has opened up the
possibility Of electric motors to do the
work Of the cannon ball" trains that
are 10 the wonder of the time. That
the competition of electricity in run
ming railway trains is looked for in
the e future is proven by the actual
existence Of companies controlling
patents that are expected to put cleo
tricity in service on railroads. Steam
seems now to have almost reached the
limit Of its power in increasing the
speed Of trains aud engines have
grown in consequence of proportions
that in reason permit Of but little
further increase; but electricity. set
ting at naught as it does all questions
OF bulk and weight, promises to do in
an unknown degree what steam seems
incapable Of doing. The powerful
agent that annihilates space and car
ries our thoughts to the end. of the
earth ir an instant may well be capable
OF transporting freight and even pas
sengers long distances in an incredibly
short time.-N. U. Picsyun

AT Castle Garden there are many
theories of the great decline in Eu-
ropean immigration to this country
during the first half Of the current
year. 1t is said to be owing to the
reduction Of the surplus population CT
several countries Of Europe by the i'm
migration of past years. to the Difficult
ties encountered by many immigrants
in finding employment here. to the new
inducements offered to settlers by sew
eral South American governments, to
the action Of our consuls abroad in
preventing undesirable persons from
leaving for New York. and to the strict
enforcement here of the contract labor
law. The falling Of in the arrivals at
Castle Garden during the fist half Of

 The postponement, in the new light shed upon 1t, can only be regarded by judicious and sincere friends of the American board, whether ''liberal" or ''conservative,n with regret 50 deep as to involve no small fore- bodings. The danger is that the extraordi- nary "minuts" will be regarded by those who do not know the circumstances as distinct Encouragement of MT. Covell against hoping for appointment, except on condition of change of views, and as warning to other young men in colleges and seminaries, that the only opsn door to mission work un- der the board is that of dogmatic acceptance of creed which the churches sustaining the board have never sanctioned.
 It ia said that, for the two months follow ing the New York meeting, the receipts into the treasury of the board were about $2S, coo larger than during the corresponding period of last year. Certain it is that many signs were showing return of the tide of Chris tian confidence in the board, as N result of the broader ground taken at New York. Financial facts tell their story. The coming of men like Hr. Covell tells it's story. Is the tide to be turned the other way againa If nOb, tnof0 buoulQ Do uo moto ucoutobh uoiayb and no more indications of purpose to keep the word of promise to the ear and break 1t to the hope.
 The known facts in the Covell case are that MT. Covell applied for appointment mis- sionary under tho board; that after two per sonal interviews and some correspondence, the Rev. Dr.. E. K. Allen, home secretary, notified the applicant that the prudential committee had decided to defer action upon this application until the completion of his theological duties at Andover; and that the decision was postponed because Mir. Covell declared himself unable to subscribe to what Is known as "Dr. Alden's Creed, though &C., cepting "fully and heartily" the apostles' creed, the Nicsne creed and the Congrega- tional creed of 1884, and "those doctrines made tests of ordination by Congregational councils" In other words, bscauae he wouldn't say that the hypothesis of possi- ble probation after death-a chance to re- pent and believe and be saved-for souls who have not had such chance in this life was unscriptural and incredible.
 It is alleged, correctly or incorrectly, that the applicant protested in advance against this postponsment of a decision in his case during the rest of his seminary course as ex- posing him to Ca constant temptation to in telleotual dishonesty" that both President and voted against it; and that the minute" sent by Dr. Alden to Mir. Covell was not submitted to those gentlemen, and in it's phraseology does not commend their ap- proval.
