Young Mr.. Hale is one of the people
who think it must be the easiest thing in
the world to write book. or at least
poem.
"You have your desk, your paper and
pens" said he, hopefully, in discussing
the subject of literature with more ex.
perienced friend, land there you arel"
Eyes" said the friend. dryly. "but
you've omitted one implement of the
trade which ought to be in the hands of
beginners-an eraser, to rub out what
they have written. Now take this petit
tion you have just drawn up for the
Widows Mite Society. Look over the
paper with me. You haven't explained
your object with clearness, and you've
repeated the word charity nine times in
thirteen lines"
For a moment the ambitious young
man looked disturbed; then suddenly his
composure returned.

that repetition mistake. You can't have

aunt who is poor like myself; my home is
not happy one" She wondered at herself
that she could give these particulars so
freely to one whom she had never seen be
fore, but there was something in this mans
face that was kind and reassuring, and,
without being able to explain why, She felt
as if there was no strangeness in his re-
quest,
He looked at her kindly and searchingly.
"You are heart-whole?" he said, inquir-
ingly.
Perfectly so,' she replied; II have had
no time for love-making. l will not deny
l have had my dreams of Il home, and my
ideals of what that home should be; but,

worse, indeed, than herpresent ills.

She raised her eyes and looked in his face
long and searchingly; she, too, had a fac

her; she sawin this case an honest manh-
ness in the face before her which inspired
her with confidence, and going to him she
stretched out her hands, saying, with a
fearful smile: "Mr. Falconer, if you are will

"Never, since my darlin G Matte died, have
seen woman who seemed like her, to be
part Of myself, and as | looked at you, and
felt this mysterious drawing towards you, I
resolved that, however strange and uncon-
ventioual the proceeding might be, would
ask for this interview and make your ac-
Quaintance."
Isabel smiled little skeptically: "Your

humble worbwoman. If l were in the
higher walks of life, such as l imagine you

you a noble woman, if you can have the op-
portunity for the development of these bet
ter qualities"
''But, sir, granted that this supposition
is correct, how can it be helped?"
This view of her case was an inspiring g
one, in spite OF the fact that it came from
one so entirely Il stranger; she had
groaned in spirit under the knowledge that
she was growing every day more un'
amiable and fretful.
How much of this was due to mere
physical disability she did not realize, but,
at times, it seemed rs if she could not bear
another particle of strain upon her over
strung nerves.
The time had been when she could bear
Nine Arnot's almost intolerable AFRO
gance with gool nature, could endure
John Harmon's coarseness with patience,
and help her aunt bear her heavy burdens
with tender sympathy, but that time had
passed by, and she little realized how near
she was to a complete breaking down, both

The poverty is still an insuperable bar

and more tangible and unalterable, and my

spoke bitterly now; the remembrance of
her aunt's letter loomed up before her, and
all the trials of her lot seemed doubly un-
bearable in the light of this glimpse of
better things, and she dropped her head
upon her hands in detection.

HEIGHTS.

With sunEissed slope the mountains rise
The plain is yelled in shadows gray;
To high hewn paths lift my eyes.
Who only know the iowland way
Men say the rocks are steep and straight,
That dangers lurk on either hand;
But oh, the Joy to him. elate
Who from their summit views the landi
The valley. too, they say, is safe,
The roads lie broad and smooth before;
Yet happier the homeless waif
Than the chained mastiff by the doorI
Far off they stand and mock at me,
My heavenly hills, serene and good;
Why should they show what may not be.
Why tempt me with unlikelihood'
But would have not breaks nor change

The Rat Plague in Lincolnshire.

The rat plague in the fen district OF
Lincolnshire still continues to cause much
uneasiness among the farmers. A press
representative was recently conducted
over one of the affected stackyards, and
was astonished at the enormous destruc-
ton wrought in all directions. The "runs"
in the stacks were as large as rabbit bur
rows, and in many instances half the
produce of some crops has been destroyed.
The woodwork of the buildings has been
gnawed through, while the holes in the
drain banks are SO numerous as to form
kind of vast honeycomb. The rats ap-
pear almost as numerous as ever.-Pall

The Night is come-the Day is sped
The Night of Woe profound, for. ohl
My little golden son is dead!
The pretty rose that bloomed anon
Upon my mother breast, they stole;
They let the dove nursed with love
Fly far away-so sped my soul
That falcon Death swooped down upon
My sweet voiced turtle as he sung;
Tis hushed and dark where scared the laeis-s
And so, and SO my heart is wrungl
Before my eyes they sent the hail
Upon my green pomegranate tree
Upon the bough where but just now
A rosy apple bent to mel
They shook my beauteous almond tree,
Beating its glorious bloom TO death
They strewed it round upon the ground
And Knocked its fragrant dying breath.
Twas a mother, and weep;

No more is heard the singing bird

So fall the shadows over me-

Reach down in love, o God above,
And fold my darling to thy oreast!

SPOKANE LOOKS LIKE A PICTURE.
From the Courier-Journal.I |


Spokane stands In Noah Armsti ong's
stable and looks like picture. He does
not take kindly TO strangers and II one
is not careful the winner of the Derby
will hsye a piece taken out OF his arm.
Trainer Elmore says that Spokane is
rapidly picking mp and that he is sound
and solid. His weight is now 1,l00
pounds OF hard fesh. Spokane is she'd
ding, and those who knew him ss
sorrel would scarcely recognize hun
now. He 10 losing the old coat aud a
beautiful color Is developing. It 10 what
might be termed q strawberry, and
gray hairs are scattered about his sides.
The gray his trainer says, comes from
his mother. Everyone seens interested
In Spokane's leg, and yet his. trainer
can not positively say whether 1t will
he all right this season or not. Spokane's
trouble with his ley dates back to when
he was 2-year-old. In race run that
year his lett fore leg became bowed in
the tendons between the knee and the
ankle joints. When he made his great
winnings last year his leg was appar-
emily as strong as ever, but In jumping
across ditch last fall, while quartered
at Sheepshead bay, his hind limb was
again bowed. Spokane's first race will
be in the Merchants handicap here.
