THE SAME SAD FEELING.

1t came again tonight, that same sad feeling
That long ago thought had passed away:
That one old wound that resists all healing;
That pain not even time can quite alIay
The mists close in. but family through them
stealing.
Icatch an echo which will never die.
For all the memories of the past unstealing
Come those two fearful words of hers
Good by!''
A touch of hands, few hasty words in part
ing
Isee and hear it all again tonight;
A host OF recolIections now upstarting
Brings the whole scene again before nv
sight.
''Good-by.'' The, low sweet voice thatspoke
it faltered:
The eyes were dimmed that shone so bright
and shy.
The memory of those words has never al
tered,
Those two sad whispered words of hers
'sGood-b yI'
What might have beenl God only knows; we
Can draw the curtains from the dim un.
known:
And yet. and yet, before me rises ever
But fainter since the shadows deeper grown
Have fallen on my heart and brought sad
A VISION OF her face, the one strong tie
That carries with it somewhat of the glad
ness
knew before those words of hers
''Good-byP'
The music in my soul can never brighten;
The minor chords are all that sound to-
day:
And mournful strains, which nothing seems
to tighten,
My life, my soul, my very being sway
The harmony is incomplete;
Cold touch the chords and swell the music
high;
Now in the notes a painful discord fingers;
The sweetest strings were broken by those
words:
..- "Good-by.'

A White Owl.

While Sims Powell was sitting in his
library at his house at Prospect hill,
Parkersburg, one evening, he heard
a noiee as of the rattle of wings
against window. On laying down
his paper and looking up, much to
his astonishEent he saw beautiful
snow white owl perched upon the back
of a chair and blinking at the light.
Mr.. Powell captured the bird and will
keep it as a curiosity. It is snow
white and is beautiful specimen OF
of the strix nivia, and is the only
specimen of the kind ever seen IN this
section of the country Its believed
by some to be member OF a species

Modern Literary Chances.

The aspirant for literary honors
with pecuniary remuneration should
remember that the most famous
names in the literary guild earned
their money for the most part in
other than literary ways. Bryant
was an editor and publisher. Long
fellow and Holmes and Lowell were
Harvard professors. Emerson and
Bayard and Taylor were lecturers
and Taylor was also a Tribune edi-
tor. Curtis and Stoddard depend
upon editorial salaries; Stedman is
a broker, and HaIIeck was John
Jacob Astor's private secretary.
And one might go further with this
list. Whittier began as an editor,
and only in middle life attempted to
lean on literature alone for a support
which his early savings and simple
habits made possible.
1t was always Longfellow's advice
to young men who wished to be lit
erary to have first, and mainly, a
vocation independent of the finer
muse. If a young writer thinks he
possesses genius he may of course
experiment with it, but it will serve
his purse and peace of mind better to
secure some source of labor and in
come that is more philistine and
worldly and ride his Pegasus only at
inspired intervals. For it is fact,
in spite of the occasional big figures
that are given as the result of liter
airy work, pure and simple, that the
men who prosper or have prospered
by that alone are only, at any one
time, a few dozen in number among
our sixty-fVe millions of people,

MARGARET'S PROMISE.

mount aIns seemed like old friends
to the child as she saw them from
day to day, Or went climbing up
their sides after flowers, or to see the
men who watched over her fathers
sheep and cattle in their steep pas
lures. .....
Margaret and her little sister liked
nothing better than to visit old Louis,
the chief herdman, and hear him tell
about the avalanches which he had
known, and of the travellers which he
and his faithful dog had rescued.
AS the stories often had moral
too, they thought they could remem-
Der that better because he did not
look at them with sigh when the
young folks of whom he spoke did
not live as they should.
''Fm SO glad that he didn't even
glance at me today" said Margaret's
sister one afternoon. "That tale he
told me made me think how inquisi-
tive I IN sometimes
But you do not pry into things
as the girl in the story did, said
Margaret cheerily.
you always answer me So" was
replied with a smile," and when IA
Their is so still or cross you tell me
not to askWhy, and thathe will soon
be happy"
And then the sister looked up into
Margaret's face as though she
thought she did not puzzle much
over their fathers strange moods.
She could not see how Margaret
was always wishing that she could
help him out of those hours of gloom
and fretting, for she now said with a
sunny smile:
''And he always does cheer up
And it was this happy nature Of
herswhich made Switzerland seem SO
dear to her, and which would have
frightened up any spot where her lot
might have been cast.
By helping her sister she was also
trying hard to keep d promise which
she had made to her mother lust be-
fore her death.
She had not heard all which that
dear mother had said, for her voice
was quite feeble. But she saw her
glance at the little girl who, not
guessing how near to death the par
ent was was playing in one corner of
the room, and put that with the three
words which she whispered:
Always tay-with-
So she said to herself as she. bent
down to kiss the mothers face:
sShe wants me never to leave little
sister"
Then she spoke so that the dying
one could not fail to hear her.

Hardy Margaret never saw any
CLEAN Of sunshine so bright as the
look which came upon the face before
her as she answered in that way.
And SO the two children were al
ways together when a trip was made
to the great ST. BERNARD or to the
nearer mountain slopes or valleys.
One day, however. as the too were
speaking of their mo ther the smaller
girl was seized with sudden faint
ness. When Margaret found that
she could not lift her from the
ground, or 10 ANYTHING TO help her,.
she flew to the house for her father.
He was SO enraged at being aWak-
ened from a sleep that he did not
seem to understand what the child
vas saying. He took her rudely by
