incidentally, that Il baby had been
found on stone at the crossroads,
that 1t had been taken to the town
hall, and that all the gentry about
were going to look at 1t because II
was such u sweet child. 80, fol-
lowing The example of her neigh
bors, she went, too. Looking up
into the sweet, sympathetic face of
the famed authoress, the little baby
smiled aud put out It's wee hands.
Dinah Muloch Craik could not re-
sist this, and so she determined to
take the child for her very own.
Quickly 1t was wrapped up and II
became her baby. Devoted to II,
she was yet determined as 1t grew
older 1t should never have its heart
hurt by being told the story Of Its
birth and adoption; so, as soon as
the little girl was able to under
stand, 1t was lovingly whispered to
her that she had been found on the
large stone which stood In the center
of the hall, and which always was
decorated with flowers, and that
God had put her there that her
mother might find her. AS soon as
she grew old enough, it became her
daily duty to cut the flowers and ar
range them to make beautiful this
great rock that had been dug up
from the crossroads and brought
there.
To her 1t represented the place
where the hands of the angels had
rested when they laid her down.
Curiously enough, the child became
very proud Of the way In which she
had reached the dear mother who
cared for her as lovingly and ten
| derly as If she were really of her own
flesh and blood. Her birthday was
the day on which she was found
and when the 10th one came
around and a child's party was
given her, she was heard asking one
little girl: Chow old are you?"
The other one answered III was
born nine years ago" Oh ~ an
swered the baby, you were born
like other children, but l am better
than that WAS found just where
God had placed me-" The childish
pride was as amusing as 1t was pa
thetic.
The years have gone by, the eyes
of the good mother are closed forever
to the sights of this world; but the
child she cared for lives in the great
town of London, and remembers;
and when the mother of John Hal
flax, Gentleman and of this girl
stands before Almighty God, don't
you think that He will say: "As sc
have done 1t unto the least of these,
so will / unto YOU"

Tho Famou. Sonnet Of Arvers.

Translated by Mrs. Il. w. Latimer.
IArvers was young litterateur, who
died by his own hand about 1916. This
sonnet was found among his private
papers. Itis known in French litera-
ture as "Le Fameux Sonnet d Aryers.
My soul has its own secret life its care;
A hopeless love, that in one moment
drew
The breath OF life. Silent its pain l
bear,
Which she who caused it knows not
never knew.
Alas! by her unmarked, my passion
grew
As by her side I walked-most lonely
there.
And long rs life may last am aware
shall win nothing-for l dare not
sne;
While she whom God has made so kind
and sweet
Goes needless on her way with steadfast
feet.
Unconscious of loves whispers mnr-
mered low.
To duty faithful as u saint, some day
Reading these lines, all filled with her,
shell II say,
"Who was this woman" and will
never know.

Whom Others Envy.

Rose Hartwick Thorpe.
Through years OF patient toll and sacri-
flee
He climbed fames ladder round by
round,
Nor rested till his hands had grasped
the prize
For which he toied. Self-made, self
crowned,
He stood among his lofty dreams, and
weighed
Their worth, together with the price he
paid.
A millionaire bartered love for
this
Love binds the wings of him who
would arise.
He rose unIettered. Now with fam.
ished eyes
He gazes on anothers paradise,
While memory taunts him with shy,
sweet kiss,
A frightened, huttering thing, the first,
the last.
No childish voice echo through his past,
He wears his laurels, but lie paid their
price.

A Paris searcher for interesting
"reminiscences of the Empress Eu-
genie. when she was Mile. Montijo,
learns that before her engagement
was officially announced she and
some of her many friends vowed to
each other that whoever among
them made a good match should
help her other friends In life. A
few days after they had made this
promise, Mile. Montijo went to the
. Hotel du Rue Bac and informed
her friends that she was about to
become empress. After she had
left them the Saxon minister saw
her, and turning to the young girl
said: "Laugh to-day with your
friend, your ladies, for after to-
morrow you will have to maintain
a grave and respectful and demeanor
in her presence. for" continued the
diplomatist, "she is about to become
empress"
After her marriage, howe yer, the
empress called her young com
panions to her and begged them to
treat her as before, "for" she said,
II shall be much alone at the pal
ace, and shall weary of all the ETH
quette which surrounds me-" Many
Of the ladies of the court were any

choice of Mile. de Montiio, and
treated her with much disdain when
in her company, leaving her en-
tirely neglected. Indeed, 80 great
was their hatred and hostility that
Mile. Montijo complained to the
emperor. The affair took place in
the park, and not far from the en-
perOr were the ladies who had be-
haved so unkindly, watching the
scene with interest. The emperor
listened quietly, and smiled at the
beautiful plaintiff. When she
had finished speaking he broke off
u few green branches from a
tree near and made IA crown, which
he placed smilingly upon her head,
saying loud enough to he heard,
"While waiting the other" CEN

time Empress Eugene enjoyed per-
feet peace. and the ladies, formerly
so vlndictive and disdainful, be-

There was much opposition on all

he was determined to have his way,

Come, Sweetheart, put your hand in
mine,
And stroll with me down woodland
ways,
Where scattered sunoeams show and
shine
Like beams of golden yesterdays,
And sing to me some happy rhyme
or life and love and nutting time.
Twas nutting time when first we met
In nutting tlmo told my love;
The dropping leaves an amulet
Wove round us--and the sky above
Smiled on--ali nature seemed to chime
OF lie and love and nutting time.
So, Sweetheart, when ask the day,
We two shall join our lives In one
When shall claim you IN Inc for aye,
And all my wooing shall be done
Make answer by some sweet old rhyme,
OF life and love ana nuiting time.

Original Effects Devised for Grand
Dinners.
II you intend to give swell din
ner this autumn you must devise
original effects. For instance you
must issue invitations for dinner
d'automne and trim your dining
room with autumn leaves of the
brightest hues obtainable. Then In
the center OF your table you must
place a huge epergne. which you
must load down with fruit set off
with leaves, and at each of the four
corners of the tables you must place
u large silver or china candelabrum,
about the arms Of which trail white,
black and purple grapes. Festoons
of these grapes must reach to the
cloth and end at the base of the
epergne. No flowers must be Wis
IDLE; all leaves and vines in
the rich tints so plentiful In
October and early November.
Your sorbets and ices must all simu-
late fruit OF various kinds. For
boutonnieres make use of colored
leaves, and for favors distribute
pins of enameled leaves to the la
dies and grains of yellow corn set
in guise of scarfpins to the gentle
men.
Dinner cards should have u spray
of autumn leaves with some kind of
fruit painted in the corner, and
your guests should be requested to
use vines and leaves in their dinner
toilets. A figure OF the goddess
Ceres should be prominent Oh the
mantel, and be appropriately hung
with vines and festoons Of tiny
apples and nuts.

Carven woods of rare design,
Bronzes, marbles, fair to see,
Slken couches soft and fine,
Hangings rich with 'broiderie,
All the treasures wealth may win,
And beauty's lover glory in.
Inanimate as these things are,
One sees them rs he roams afar,
As dreams of dear ones heart enthrall,
And knows nameless charm in all.
II,
A log hut set within a wood,
The floor OF flags made fair and clean,
All common things for human good,
Tho ruder fittings ne'er were seen.
A sav'ry dish within gives cheer
A thrushs song without swcils clear.
All this. thro years, with homesick k
thrill,
A wanderer remembers still,
While dreams of dear ones heart en-
thrall
And knows a nameless charm in oil.

A SHOCKING AFFAIR.
a Young sehoolboy's skull Most Mys-
trriously Iraeturea.


A terrible affair, whether 10 be called
an accident or a murderous assault has
not yet been sscertaned, occurred yes
terdav at the Bridge and North Divi-
slon-st. school. Anciel y. Merritt, a
pupil Of the school, ten years old, now
lies with fractured skull.
Yesterday afternoon. about 3 o'clock
the boy wassentOut OF the building by hls
teacher on an errand, and was shortly
afterwards found on the sidewalk IN
conscious. When picked up his skull
was found TO be fractured. He was
treated by DR.. DeCanp, who removed
about an inch and half of the right
frontal bone. The doctor says his
chances are good for recovery.
Mrs. Merritt, the mother of the in
lured boy, resides at 90 Canal-st., and
has seen much trouble. She is widow
with three small children. She came TO
this city about SIX months ago, aud
while on the way here had her pocket
picked of several hundred dollars, and
was left therebO utterly destitute. She
has since supported herself and family
by her labOTs.
As Vet there q no certain clue to the
manner IN which little Anciel was ~
jured. The sister of the boy insists that
she saw her brother tripped up and hit
by boy while he was passing out of
the building. If this be true, there is
no doubt but that the identity of the
asSailant will be discovered To-Day.
