Fun With the Old Man.

He was meek-looking old gentleman
at the dining-room table the drummers
looked at him over their soup-spoons.
They noted his weather beaten face, his
wet hair carefully parted and brushed
around over his ears, and his air of diff
dence as he nervously fingered his fork;
and when the waiter girl stood at his side
and winked at the boot -and-shoe man they
were all attention
Soups" she asked
The old man seemed a bit surprised at
the brevity of the bill of fare, and filgeted
about as though waiting for her to say
something more.
Would you like some soupf said the
girl, with a side glance at the coffee and
spice man.

like rapidity.
The old man looked kind of helpless, and
the boys felt a little sorry for him as he
kept his eyes fastened on the fork, which
he showed from side to side with his fin
gers.
II guess I'll take-I guess you'll have to
say that again, he said, looking up, and
the girl ratified the whole thing off in ex-
actly the same time as before.
The old man looked around the table and
caught sight of drummer winking at the
girl Then he jerked his head around, and
looking her straight in the face, he said:
''You may gimme SIN bile cornbeef N

The girl hestated, turned red, and then
made break for the kitchen, while the
drummers laughed and the old man gazed
out of the window at the gathering cloud.

Learn a Trade, Boys!
Harrisburg Telegraph.

Harrisburg Telegraph.
Boys! Let Gossip give you a little adj
vice. Don't be clerks. Don't imagine that
if you can only get chance TO stand be
hind counter that you are quite sure to
become merchant princes, and when you
die die a Stewart or Wanamaker. The
chances are a million to one against you;
million to one that you will continue to be
clerks until the coffin lid closes in upon
you Learn trade. Learn to make some
thing; to be useful, fruitful, adding TO the
worlds wealth and to the happiness Of
your fellow man. Anybody can sell tape
and measure calico, and there is vast
army of men, whom misfortune or physical
infirmity takes behind the counter and
keeps there, many of whom would gladly
leave il if they were able to do anything
else. Don't crowd them ont. You are
strong and able bodied. Be brave and
manly as well as strong Don't impose
upon yourself life long drudgery, a. You
certainly viii do if you enter the army Of
clerks.
And boys Don't be silly and afraid of
being called a mechanic" Very great
men have been mechanics. Those who
were intimate with General Cameron know
that he oftener referred to the early days
when he was numbered among the me
chanjcs than to those later days when he
represented the country at a foreign court
or in the Congress of the nation, and he
was proud. too, of those early days Of hard
work. Mechanic is noble title. 1t in
dicatcs industry, and thrift, and independ-
ence. and above all else it indicates use
fulncss; that you are not a drone but pro
duccr, useful to your day and generation.
The remark is often made that the me
chanical department of this great nation Is
rapidly going into the hands of foreigners,
of men trained abroad. in distant lands.
This is to our discredit. We ought to be
Of every nation on carth-in-
dependent in skill. knowledge and useful
ness. Therefore, boys, let Gossip urge you
in al earncstucss to learn trade; the one
you fancy the best; and learn it well. and
when you have learned it you will be meas
lrably independents while the man with
out a trade is always the slave Of circum-
stances"

The Lessons OF the Street.

on the corners we may fnd them.
or in cluster, here and there.
In the daytime or the nighttime
All along the thoroughfare.
Standing idly and forgetting
They should earn the bread they eat,
Are the many who are learning
All the lessons Of the street.
In their homes is naught inviting:
Poverty and want are there:
Wasting demons-thirstine ever
Serve to keep the cupboard bare;
And the little babies wander
Out of doors on toddling feet.
Quick to learn the lessons taught them
Every hour upon the street.
Shame and Crime, thier ready pupils,
Here of every age may find:
Sons of wealth and rank. to evil
And to idleness inclined
In the school of vile progressing.
They with base born rogues compete.
Who have won high distinction
From their training in the street.
Maidens fresh in youthful beauty.
Cherished in the heart and home;
Dearly loved ones-vain and thoughtless-
iFrom the firc,ide choose TO roam;
knowing not the many dangers
And disasters they may meet,
BY their every day attendance
ON the lessons Of the street.
Many a life that started bravely,
Full of promise pride and zeal
Stirred within by holy passion,
That the knavish never felt
He has been overthrown in battle,
Led to sure and swift defeat.
BY the poison and pollution
OF the lessons of the street.
oh, ye mothers, train your darlings
So to love their homes, that they
With the idle and the vicious
viii not ever go astray.
With a chain of strong affection
Bind them to the safe retreat.
That their minds may not be tainted
BY the lessons of the street.

The COnvict's Daughter.
\ TRUE STORY
1t was early morning.

1t was early morning.
rs this the way, sir, to Sing Singl'
Yes" roughly replied a broadfaced
comtryman and passed on.
1t was afternoon. The child was some
what fragile in her appearance. Her bon
net was of broken straw, her shoes were
much torn; the sun played hotly on her
forehead She walked on and on an hour
longer
''Is this the way to Sing Sing SIR"
''Yes, little girl, but what are You going
there forl'
The child trudged on, her lips quivering,
but not deigning to answer the pleasant
faced old man who had stopped the jog
ging of his horse to note her hurried man
ner, and who liked that little face, anxious
and sad as its expression was.
The dew was fallen. Katie had fallen
too, almost A rough stone by the way,
imbedded in moss, received her tired little
frame She looked so worn and tired, sit
ting there, her tangled hair failing on her
hands that were clasped over her face. By
the shaking of her frame the tears were
coming too, and she was bravely trying to
hold them back.
''Why, what is the dear little girl doing
herel" The exclamation came from pair
of young lips.
"A curiosity, | declare," exclaimed a
harsher voice, and Katie, looking up sud
denly, cowed away from the sight of the
young lady and her agreeable looking com
panion.
whatever are you doing here, little
girl!" asked Nell haywood, moving little
nearer towards the frightened child
"Going, Miss, to Sing Sing said Katie
''Why George! this child is going to Sing
Sing-ten miles off. Child, did you know
it was so far OFF,
Katie shook her head, and wiped away
the hot tears, one by one.
''Why, you little goose, what arc going
to Sing Sing for? Have you had your sup
peri"
Katie shook her head.
Have you had any dinner"
Again the child shook her head.
''No breakfast. Why, George, the poor
thing must be almost starved"
II should think so, mechanically replied
her brother, just recovering from a
yawn, and showing signs of sympathy.
Look here, what's your name! We'll
girl, you must come up to the house and
get something to eat. Follow me, and we
will take care of you tonight somehow,
and see about your going to Sing Sing to-
morrow"
Katie followed. What a glorious vision
burst upon her view The palatial house
the rocks reddening in the low western
sun; the shining river the signs of luxury
on every hand.
"Susan, give this child a good supper;
she is hungry and tired, too, | imagine.
After that will see what can be done for
her"
Susan wore mild face. She looked
pleasantly down at the poor, tired little
one, and taking her hand, which trembled
now, led her into the kitchen.
Meanwhile her story, or that brief part
of it which We know, was being told in the
drawing-room. The sylph-ike figure in
white, lounging gracefully in the midst OF
delicate cushions, accompanied her nara
ton with expressive gestures, and now and
then little laugh.

A CHILD'S QUESTION.
BY MAY F. NlcKEAN.

In a mansion grand and stately,
On "a wide and handsome street.
Lived man of vast possessions.
With his little daughter sweet.
He had lots in many city,
He had houses by the score.
He had broad aud rolling acres,
And dwelling by the shore
And he oft would tell his daughter.
As she sat with wondering eyes,
of their worth and of their beauty.
Till before her thoughts did rise
Visions of their wondrous beauty.
And of all their wondrous worth;
Till the child mind almost fancied
That there was as yet on earth
Not state and not a country
Where her father did not own
Lands and Farms, and stately mansions
Fruits of labor he had sown.
But into this home of comfort
Came sorrow as a cloud;
Death VIII neither stay nor tarry
At the mandate of the proud
Rich and poor, the high and lowly,
Each must answer to his call,
Enters he the meanest hovel.
As he does the stateliest hall;
And this man of vast possessions
In his costly chamber lay,
Resting on bed luxuriant.
Wasting by disease away.
Skilled physicians waited on him,
Loving lips pressed check and brow,
But the utmost skill and learning
Could not change the verdict now.
Then one day, the learn'd physician
Called aside the little child,
Tenderly he stroked her tresses,
Spoke in accents low and mild:
''Do you know, my little darling,
That your father soon must go
To faroff, far-off country
Little darling, do you know
Opened then the eyes in wonder,
With a sudden, strange surprise;
Then with tears and fears and trem-
bling,
To her fathers side she flies
Climbs upon the bed beside him,
Lays her head close to his cheek,
In a sudden, dreadful anguish
That will scarcely let her speak.
Then she thinks of all his mansions
OF the lands so broad and fair.
OF the homes that must await him,
And their beauty rich and rare.
Slowly now her head she raises,
Gone the sorrow and the fear
Once again she smiles, then, laughing,
Dashes from her eyes a tear,
As she asks in accents tender:
Papa, tell me- | would know.
Do you own a lovely mansion
In the land where you mus st go!
Doctor told me all about it
How that you must go awav
To faro off, far-of country;
Have you there a mansions sayl
For the going will be pleasant
And you need not have a care.
If it is to your own mansion,
In that far off land so fair"
Then that stricken father faltered,
For although he'd built with care
Many fine and stately dwelling,
He had yet no mansion there.
What to him were now the acres
With their wealth of golden grain!
What to him were farms and houses9
What to him was earthly gain7
Wha- to him, now he lay dying,
Were the many mansions herep
He must leave them all forever
Ind he had no mansion Heret

What's in a Name.

| have a girl-a gay coquette-
Whose name to me is Margaret.
A Frenchman, whom she calls her sweet,
Most always calls her Marguerite.
A Spaniard, evidently, 'sweeter,'
Addresses her as Margarita.
4 Portuguese, and quite leader
In drawing rooms, says Margarida.
A chap from sunny Italy
Prefers to call her Marghery.
An awkward swain from Germany
Proneunces it ''neia Ieib Mdrgie.'
\ dude, with trousers wide and baggy,
Seems to enjoy the pet name Maggy
Another impecunious wag
Diminutively calls her Mag.
A park policeman, with badge,
has christened her by name of Madge
He took her once to witness "Nadgy"
And, tween the acts addressed her Madgy.
Some call her Meg, some call her Meggy;
Some call her Peg, some call her Peggy.
And some, more yulgarly than witty,
Contemptuously call her Gritty.
But when she's hired as Dienst -mddcheH,
Her German mistress calls her gretchen.
