Ave minutes we had located the spot. /
sent my ard up to Mr.. Terry, and fol-
lowed it to inform him of my discovery,
but he sat down on me with:
Dem it, man, if you are tired of my
ways and wages, you a quit! | told
you at the outset that l should run this
thing myselfT"
And to prove that he meant to, he
planned n route which did not permit
us to reach Cincinnati for nearly four
months. He ave me to understand, on
arriving there, that we should remain
thirty-one days; and, although l could
have found 'B" street in an hour, /
knew Mr.. Terry too well to object to his
plans. On the second day / went over
the street. 1t was ancient and rather
queer, but no more SO han many 9TH
ers. 1t was tenanted by a poor but re-
spectacle class of people.
Naturally enough, | had always had a
great curiosity to know why my queer
employer wanted to find this street, and
so, day in and day out, l pursued my in
vestigations. l asked every resident for
information of Terry, but no one had
ever heard of him. The last house on
the left hand side vas chock up against
the bluff. One standing on the high hill,
of which Cincinnati has SO many, could
have dropped a stone down upon the
roof of this house, which was old and I'M
tenanted. / inspected it outside and in,
and saw from its condition that it had
been ~unoccupied for years. 1t was a
frame, and the floors were about gone,
the plastering all off, and the doors and
much of the partitions had been carried
away for fuel. 1t struck me that this
old house held the key to the mystery,
but though l searched high and low l
could find nothing.
On the morning of the thirty-frst day
Mr.. Terry sen for me and inquired if 1
had found the street. This was the only
time he had spoken to me since our ar
rival. l replied that l had, and he then
said:
you will go to your room, lock your
self in, and remain until l send for you"
l did nothing of the kind. l skipped
out, reached "B" street, posted myself
in the hallway of a tenement, and an
hour later saw Mr.. Terry appear. He
went straight to the old house, was in
side for half an hour, and then came out
with a package in his hand. i took it to
be a package of papers wrapped in oil
skin. He walked off without a glance
to the right or left, and l took a short
cut and reached the hotel first. After
dinner he sent for me and said:
"Our search is ended. You have been
faithful and sensible. Here is the bal
ance of your salary for the second year,
and here is $1,000 extra. Good-by, sir"
But won't you enlighten"-
Dem it, sir, good-by," he interrupted,
and l picked up my money and went,
and to this day have never got at the
bottom facts.-New York Sun.

THROUGH Darkness TO DAWN.

A day viii span the life of man,
The sunrise Is his birth,
And soon, oh soon the sunset comeS
And he returns to earth
His little day flows swiftly by
And evening comes at last
The day Is sinking lower yet
His day Of strength Is past
And in the eventide OF life,
Before the sun has set,
II golden clouds OF glory come
Before the night Of death.
The tide OF life is ebbing fast,
The crimson clouds are gone
But on the other side OF death
There breaks another dawn.
The brilliAnce Of his noontide life
The glory OF his day.
The brightly flaming golden clouds
OF sunset fade away
But beyond the veil of death,
Beyond the mystic night,
That brighter sunrise waits him
Yet In melody and light
When man has entered on his night,
His sun Of glory set
Then swiftly rends the mystic mantle
In the halls Of death,
The soul has burst the chrysalls,
The night forever gone
The sunburst Of eternity breaks
In the golden dawn!

A Quick Way to Decorate China After
the style of Hand Painting.
A new metAod of decorating china after
the style of hand painting, but by process
which requires no knowledge Of drawing
or sketching from nature, is what may be
called leaf printing" Procure some
leaves of pretty shape and Of several sizes
those rather small will usually look best
Select two or three that are perfectly fresh
and free from dust and moisture. Squeeze
a little of the tube paint upon a tile or
china plate and rub it down well with the
palette knife Do not add anything 70
thin the paint. When perfectly smooth
dip small pad into it, rubbing &c little
till the paint covers the fat part of it
smoothly.
Apply the paint to the under side OF the
leaves by pressing with the pad till they
are covered with the paint. Then place
the leaf painted side down upon your
china. cover carefully with bit OF paper,
and rub gently with your finger until You
think an impression of the entire leaf has
been secured Remove the paper and lift
the leaf up very carefully. Print the other
leaves in the same way. Put in stems and
branches when desired with the brush.
BY using different colors or two shades Of
one color, very pretty effects are secured.
Beautiful conventional designs may be
made by arranging the leaves in some
geometrical form This style Of decora-
ton is effective, and requires much less
time than in painting the same design. As
soon as the paint is dry the china viii be
ready for firing in the usual way.

family who has not found favor in the
eyes of her young pupils. One of these
is an s-year-old boy. with considerable
mischief and no end of daring in his
composition, and this youngster, who
handles his paint brush very neatly, was
recently called upon by his governess to
paint her name in small white letters in
side her handsome new silk umbrella.
So Master John set his brushes and boxes
out and squared himself to his task
"But how shall l mark it, Miss Jones?"
he asked. Shall l paint Miss Jones'
or Miss Ellen Jones or Miss E. Jones,
or what"
"Oh," drawls Miss Jones carelessly
from her novel, II don't care-simple
Ellen Jones would be best, l fancy"
And with this idea put into the head
of the mischievous boy, what could be
expected except just what did happen?
For when the umbrella, duly marked,
was handed to Miss Jones she opened it
to read in letters white and clear and
unmistakable the words "Simple Ellen
