Sunday Union.
WHAT HAPPENED ONE MORNING.
She goesi She goes!
And no one hears.
And no one knows;
But she fears-she fears.
Her father sleeps; if she only knew.
Her mother weeps lest a dream come true;
And the morning wears.
She goes! She goesi
Down the eehoing STAIR
And the white light grows
And is everywhere.
Soon the birds will chirp, and the busy mill
Hum, and the cows come up the hill
And she not there!
She goes She goes!
The doors unbarred.
How the cock crows
In the neighbor's yard
She shrinks when she hears the ripe pear fall
On the dew-sodden earth by the garden wall
Alfs heard AIS heard
No, for she goes,
With secret smile:
For she knows, she knows
That all the while
Her lover stands where the roads divide,
With a song on his lips and his sword at his
side,
And his foot on the stile.
IT WON'T BE LONG.
If you have ever studied the faces in a
gallery of family portraits, or in an old
album, you have probably noticed the per-
sistence of a type through successive gen
erations. Sometimes it is very family ap-
parent; then it crops out again as distinct
as ever in the next generation. The type
endures, the individual perishes; nothing
lasts, yet nothing is lost.
Here is happy freside group; but
grim death, that supreme mastery of irony,
stands without, peering through the win
dow upon them. He knows that he has
not long to wait. Just so surely as the fire
shall burn low and smolder upon that
hearthstone, shall the family circle be
broken and shattered, link by link. That
curly-haired boy may be buried in a
sailors grave; that prattling babe may die
with the shout of battle on his lips that
girl will bear another name in another
house, and the old folks will sink at last
beneath the burden of the years. Even
while the freight leaps the shadows dance
upon the wall. And it won't be long till
the end.
! LAUGH AND LIVE.
In his problem of Health" DR.. Greene
says there is not the remotest corner or
little inlet of the minute blood-vessels of
the human body that does not feel some
wavelet from the commissions occasioned
by good, hearty laughter. The life-prin-
| ciple, or the central man, is shaken to its
innermost depths, sending new tides of
life and strength to the surface, thus ma
terially tending to insure good health to
the persons who indulge therein. The
/ blood moves more rapidly, and CONVEYS a
| different impression to all the organs of
the body, as it visits them on that particu-
lar mystic journey when the man is laugh
ing, from what it does at other times. For
this reason, every good, hearty laugh in
which person indulges tends to lengthen
his life, conveying, as it does, new and dis
tinct stimulus to the vital forces.
Then the phrase, Laugh and grow fat"
are not mere empty words. Possibly you
may not gain avoirdupois by it, but you
certainly will not grow thinner. You will
| find that "a real good time"-a downright
jolly time, innocently enjoyed, is better
elixir of life and blood tonic than any new
tangled medical craze can prepare.
AT STATE BALLS
In England they don't dance by card,
there are no programmes, and SO far as
royalty is concerned, no introductions are
needed. Before each dance the Princes
and Princesses confer together within the
royal circle just in front of the dias. They
| are choosing their partners. When their
| selections are made-and be sure many
joke and laugh among themselves accom-
pany the labor of making a choice-the
Lord Chamberlain Immediately bears the
message thereof to the distinguished per-
sons. Ehe chosen partners, breaking all
other engagements, file up together to the
royal circle (if not already within it), and.
| if men, approach the Princesses and wait,
like so many mutes, until the august
ladies see fit to come forward and claim
them; if ladies, the Princes are apt to be
more prompt about coming down and tax
| ing possession Of them. The royalties
dance good deal with one another, and
In the square dances, which, in the state
balls are very considerably shortened. The
I Princes Of Wales never walks backward
The future Queen has an undoubted right
to turn her back upon whom she pleases.
Speaking Of the family, her majestic
mother-in-law wrote of Kaiser William of
Germany, years ago when he was only
twenty months old, as follows: "He is such
a little love. He came walking in with
his nurse, in little white dress, with black
bows, and was so good. He Is a fine, fat
! child, with a beautiful white, soft skin,
very fine shoulders and limbs, and a very
dear face-like Nickev, and Fritz, and
Louise of Baden. He has Fritz's eyes and
Nickey's mouth, and very fair curling hair.
| We felt so happy to see him at last"
woMAN's WAYS
Have you ever watched the warfare,
OF two women over car-fsre?
ESch afame with generous feeling
Depths of heart and purse revealing;
Each inspired with gentle horror
Lest the other should pay for her
But-take note-the more iusistent
OF the combatantS persistent
She whose hand most promptly snatehes
AZ her pocket books stiff latehes-
! she who murmurs, Don't be strange, dear
It's all right, got the change, dear
she-though am sad to saw it
, Always LET'S the other pay it

may have to be repeated two or three
times, but is sure.
