tfnued her fruitless search, growing
more and more excited with every min
ute. When Mr.. Fromer came home he
found his wife SO nearly frantic that he
could hardly learn from her what had
happened.
1t was terrible thing when he did
learn and realize it. There was no
knowing how long the child had been
gone, but with darkness coming swiftly
on he would have time before he could
be found to get hopelessly lost in the
forest that was not SO very far away.
He might be wandering there even now;
and 1t was no safe place for little child
to wander. To say nothing of the dan
gers OF starvation or exhaustion, wild
beasts were not unknown there. More
than once or twice mountain lions had
been seen or heard not very far from
the little scattered settlement.
Very quickly Mr.. Fromer satisfied
himself that his child was indeed gone,
and he was about starting away to sum-
mon the neighbors to help him in the
search, when Pete Pelter appeared.
There was trouble in his face and anx-
lety in his voice.

He stopped speaking with that break
n his voice which it is always so hard

'rouble Pete Pelter felt keen sympathy
With this other bereaved man, and was
loout to say so, but an exclamation from
Mrs Fromer checked him.

PROGRESS VS.. LOVE.

N mo! the march of Progress
Is driving Love from hence,
FOR how can parting lovers talk
Across barb-wire fencef
No swinging gate to lean on,
No high fence with its bars,
Which seemed to shut out Eden,
Where two eyes cleaned bright az starA
An me the march of Progress
Exiles the grest log fire,
The stove severe and blaclxly grim
Can NO fair thoughts inspire.
The tallow dip is fated-
Gas tn its place burns bright;
Tho candle had an end some time,
But the gas win burn all nigh
An me, the march of Progress
Made sail give way to steam,
AID now an ocean passage
Isshort-lfved as dream.
No time IL left for counting
Upon the steamers fast
You meet maid-scarce know her.
When, behold! the journeys past.
All me the march OF Progress
Has brought me railroad car;
More enchanting was the stage-coach
With its rumble and its Jar.
A. the train speeds swiftly onward
IT suggests unrost and strife
Hou have no time left for loving,
You have scarcely time for life.
And now the march Of Progress
An idol has o'erthrown,
Which this age iconoclastic
Had left to me alone.
Through the streets Of ev'ry village
Blaze the great electric lights
And the porch has lost its romance
Through the baimy Summer nights.

Making Unpleasant Remarks.

Never tell any body an unpalatable
truth when it can answer no good pur-
pose. This sort of unnecessary candor
is sometimes prompted by malice, some
times by mere looseness of tongue, like
that which Iago imputes to Cassie when
asleep. Sydney Smith says, and very
justly, that friendship is frequently
made an excuse for unpunishable imper-
tinence by people who pride themselves
on speaking their minds freely. The
truth, maliciously spoken, may be
hbelous; and when volunteered in rela-
tion to matters with which the utterer
has no concern, it Is very often unman-
nerly. AS surely as pleasant truths,
kindly meant and said, are passports to
friendship and affection, so surely do
bitter ones provoke the enmity and
hatred of those to whom they are ad-
dressed. If you have taste for sharp
repartee, restrain it 1t is better to lose
q jest than friend-to miss an oppor-
tunity OF saying good thing" than to
make an enemy.-N. Y. Ledger.
