THE NINE LITTLE COLLINS.

They all climbed MP on q high board fence
Nine little COLLINS with green glass eyes
Nine little COLLINS that had no sense,
And couldn't tell coppers from cold mince
And they all climbed up on the fence and
And asked them what they were staring at.
And the first one said, as he scratched his head
With queer little arm that reached out Of his
And rasped his claws in his hair so red
"Ihis 10 what this little arm is feri''
And ne scratched and stared, and the next
"How on earth do you scratch your head2''
And be laughed like the screech of rusty
Laughed and laughed till his face grew black;
And when he choked with final twinge
OF his sitting laughter, he thumped his back
With q fist that grew at the end of his TAIL
Till the breath came back TO his lips SO pale.
And the third little goblin leered round at me-
And there were no lids on his eyes at all
And he clucksd one eye, and he says, says he,
"What Ii the size OF your socks this fall?''
And he clapped his heels, and sighed to see
That he had hands where bis feet should be.
Then bsid-faced goblin, gray and grim,
Bowed his head, and saw him slip
His eyebrows of, as looked at him,
And paste them over his upper lip;
And then he moaned In remorseful pain
"Would-ah, would I'd me brows again.
Ana then the whole OF the goblin band
Rocked on the fence-top TO and fro,
And chung, in long row, hand in hand,
Singing the songs that they used TO know
Singing the songs that their grandsires sung
In the goo-goo days Of the goblin tongue.
And ever they kept their green gl.s. eyes
Fixed on me with a stony stare
TIL my own grew glazed with dread surprise,
And my hat whooped up my lifted hair,
And felt the heart in my breast snap to,
AS youve heard the lid of a snuf-box do
And they sang you're asleep There is no
board fence,
And never goblin with green glass eyesi-
It's only q vision the mind invents
After a supper OF cold minee pies
And you re doomed TO dream this way" they
said,
"And you sha'n't wake up till you're clean
plum dead!"

Captain Kitty wondered a little as to
who it could be that wanted her in particu-
lar, and not one of the nurses who lived in
the place; but she was too sleepy to feel
much establishment at anything. She did
not delay long over her toilet; just dipued
her head into basin of cold water to dis
pei the drowsiness, and hurried on her
clothes anyhow.

Captain Kitty felt very weary, both in
body and mind, as she toiled up the
greasy, dirty staircase, where the boards
were rotten and crazy, and where the stair
rails had been torn out for frewood. But
the WEAKNESS was all gone when she
entered the wretched room and recognized
that there, upon the bed, lay the form of
Julian Gray-the man for whom she had
been praying so earnestly.
A doctor was bending over him, and
hailed her advent with pleasure.

family of the stormy meeting then pro-
crossing, she held her head high and
never flinched for a moment, though some
of the language used both by orators and
sinners must have been revelation to her.
But Captain Kitty had that enthusiastic,
exalted sort of temperament of which
saints and martyrs are an outcome. al
though there we're both human passion
and feeling in her dark eyes. When she
prayed, as she did now in her turn, it was
not so much prayer as an impassioned
protest against the powers of evil-an
agony, a battering as it were at the gates
of heaven. One could hear the human
heart throbs through the eager words.
Her cultured, exquisitely modulated voice
rang through the great hall like silver
bell, and set the chords of many a long
burisd feeling vibrating.

The expressions of applause that were
echoed about from one enthusiast to
another were perhaps not very choice or
elegant, but they were certainly evoked by
genuine feeling, undeniable emotion.

to spar wildly in the air, as though he
were lighting with some invisible oppon-

THE SECRET SOCIETIES.
MASONRY.

On Monday evening Ohio Lodge held
regular communication with a good
turnout Of brethren who were there to
assist in the work Of the mill to be done
at that time. A noble specimen OF a
fellow who had been brought from the
quarries appeared, and he was taught
how he could assist his Master In the
work of erecting our moral temple, and
he was made an apprentice to the craft.
The next specimen was that OF fellow
who had wrought some good work as a
craftsman, which he proved from his
knowledge and skill in Masonry. He
was made Master and put on an equal
ity with all good master workmen.
Bates Lodge No. 80, held special
meeting on Tuesday evening with fair
attendance of brethren present. Two
aspirants who had been apprenticed 10
the Craft and who had become profit
cient in their work, were judged to be
worthy Of promotion and were Grated
among a higher grade OF workingmen.

HOW TO SET a TABLE.
Delmonico Tells How a Table should BE
set and Arranged.

Z
set and Arranged.
"Learn first" says Delmonico in an
article in the November Ladies Home
| Journal, chow 10 set table. a round
/ table is better than square table, If
/ the dining-room is large enough to per-
NIT il, if not, then the ordinary oblong
extension table must be used. The
round table is much more preferable
and easier TO seat people az, besides it
gives a suggestion of the famous King
Arthur and the knights Of the Round
Table A few prominent society wo-
men still cling to the old-faShiohed long,
narrow table. Mrs. AStor. for example,
still uses that style Of dining table
in order that her famous gold
dinner-set may be placed TO
the best advantage. Mrs. August
Belmont, on the contrary, prefers an OBJ
long table, and the decorations for an
elaborate dinner are carried out TO make
the shape more pronounced. Flowers
should never be absent from the dinner
table. No matter how hOmely, they
add to the pictUreSqueneSs OF the feast.
Let US see how a table is set for
fashionable dinner party. On the table
is first placed a thick flannel cloth, the
thicker it is the better as it prevents
noise OF the dishes as they are placed on
it. Over this is spread snowy white
damcSk table cloth, bearing the family
crest or coat-oi-arms. Sometimes over
this is placed still another, Of elaborate
embroidery and lace, lined with pink or
yellow satin, as taste dictates, or what
ever color is to predominant at the din
ner. The plates are first placed upon
the table. AS these are to remain until
after soup is served, they are always
the handsomest in the gold or china
sets, as the case uay be. Don't crowd.
Each guest should be allowed space
of two feet or twenty-six inches, il the
table will admit of it, and the plates
placed at equal distances apart. Place
two dinner forks to the left or each
plate; also an oyster fork with prongs
resting on the edge Of the plate. On
the right must be dinner knife and
spoon for soup. The glasses are ar
ranged at the right of each guest on
line with the inner edge OF the plate.
The water glass is set next TO the plate.
Then glasses for whatever other oey-
erages are intended TO be served. A
glass, whether OF water or any other
LIQUID should never be filled more than
three-Quarters full.

An Idea for n Boudoir.

Here is an idea for small withdraw
ing room or boudoir; Tint the walls
with soft china pink, and tone them
down with lace hangings. Nottingham
curtain stuff looks exceedingly well and.
as we all know. is not expensive. After
tacking them on the wall finish the top
with q flounce about fifteen or sixteen
inches in length. BY dividing curtain
You will get the finished edge for the
bottom of your flounce. The pink thus
covered becomes very delicate, and
forms beautiful background for water
color drawing. The whole room should
be kept as delicate as possible with
softly tinted china as decoration.
