FAIRY TALES.
Pleasant Memories of the Charming StO-

Pleasant Memories OF the Charming Sto-
ries of Childhood.
The charm of fairy tales survives the
age for which they are written. Set
ting aside the scientific explanation of
certain facts-such as the concealment
Of the name in stories of the Rumpel-
stilzllin class; proving this to be mere
survival of the old savage superstition
which forbids a wife to utter her
husbands name: which indeed hides
the true name as part of the self that
sorcery could hurt all the same as it
could hurt the person by means of the
hair, nails, etc.-Setting aside, too, the
still more reconcile explanations which
would lift these stories out of the re-
gion of fancy and affiliate them to the
graver parentage of sun myths and the
ike-the delight of the mere thing it
self is as great as it was when we were
children, and more than half believed
such things have been if even they were
not then. Fairy tales have every requi-
site that goes to make good
story. Simple in outline, they
are vivid in description. Full
Of adventure, they are neither

and have not SO much as a glowworm s

It made quite an impressive sight, for
Mosley had arranged them at long in

The exercises did credit to the taste

complete, and he was hero indeed.
The next year Memorial day was OBJ

there were four graves this time to be

Mosley had received his honorable dis

While he had been i'll. he had taken
much interest in the plans for the next

With dim eyes Miss Mason promised
that they would be married on that
day, and the old man was content.
And so it came that after the memo
rial services had been held the little
school-teacher and the young minister
were married by visiting clergyman,
at the house of a friend; and as the
happy couple took ''the six o'clock" to
go to their new home, six men gravely

wished them long life and happiness.

A POLICY OF GREED.
Financial BIunders OF Republican Surplu
Spender1,

To the mind of the average repub-

perfect as the financial policy Of his
party. 1t is to this the orator turns
when needing rounded period to ex-
cite applause that shall afford him rest
for his next flight It Is to this the
great editor looks when he would en-
tirely demolish his democratic contem-
porary. But the time has come to
check these voluble ranters- They
have as little knowledge of financial
questions al the woodchuck of Arabic
They have seen their party straddle
every financial debate and cheered al
ways for the wise craftsmanship of
their partisans- If it were asked that
the crowd should shout over the plat
form of 1858 then did the welkin ring
in behalf of a policy that was disowned
before it had been telegraphed across
the country. Was there rejoicing be-
cause of the issuance of the trade dol
lar? 1t was equaled when the party
had succeeded In foisting over thirty
million dollars on the small dealers
and plain people of the country for the
direct benefit of patriotic firm of tea
exporters in New York, and then re-
duced their value while in the hands of
the poorer classes Let these shouters

The regular train went through, as
have said, twice each day-at four a.
m. and at six p. m.-and although these
men made no pretense of meeting the
morning train. they began to gather
shortly after dinner so as to be in time
for 1.-The six o'clock"
Then they sat like so many black
birds roosting on a clothesline-six of
the LATEST, most shiftless men you
could find in q days search. Old
Mosley made the seventh; but he had
no family and he drew a pension from
the government, SO he had better
right to get along without work. but
the others took such fare as their wives
provided for them and emulated Mos
ley's example in loafing and talking
politics.
The weather had been unsettled for
several days, and although it was the
middle of May it had been too raw and
cold to be comfortable out of doors.
Mosley had been in with the rheuma-
tism for a week. and the little knot OF
depot loafers had been somewha,
broken up, when one morning the sun
came out gloriously, and at one p. m.
she looked down and saw the old crowd
