A Point to Employers.

employer that his sister was going to

of forty-eight hours to attend the we'd

the country somewhere. The merchant

young man for that length OF time, but
finally consented to let him g,, on con-

'As so n as my forty-eight hours are
up I'll be back" said the young man,
hurrying off to catch the train, and that
was the last his employer saw of him
for six solid days, when he walked in,
gripsack in hand, and beaming smile
on his face, remarking:

O"Back on time!' roared the exas-
perated employer DO you call six

She Did Not Receive an Invitation.

1t IS the part of wisdom to avoid dis
cussion of ones private affairs in pub
lie places. A London journal relate:
that recently the wife of cabinet
minister went out of town for day OF
two, the week before she was to hold
a big official reception. She got into a
railway carriage in which were a
young lady and, apparently, her aunt,
her intrusion being much resented by
the young lady, who did net scruple to
express her annoyance at the invasion
of her privacy, and altogether tried to
make things as awkward and uncom-
Portable as possible for the newcomer
The latter, however, settled down be-
hind her own paper till she was
aroused by the sound of her own name

tion?" the young lady was asking her
aunt. Yes, the aunt was going.

misunderstanding and How 1t Caused
Great Disappointment.
A lady who was great admirer Of
Horace Greeley went one evening tc
hear him lecture. She had never seen
her hero, but was constant reader Of
his paper, and had her own ideas as to
how he would look and act.
The chairman of the meeting desired
to air his Latin, and introduced the
speaker in the following rather vague
and indefinite manner:
Ladies' and gentlemen, you came

"As know that you are all anxious
for the lecture to begin, will only
detain you to say that have the pleas
ure and honor of introducing to you the
facile princeps of journalism"
The lady waited to hear no more, but
went home in disgust.
"Well, my DEAR" asked the husband,
who was taking care of the baby during
his wife's absence, show did you like

ply. "Greeley was sick, and they go1

"Who was the man."
Il don't know" she answered, still
indignant at her disappointment.
''Somebody l never heard of before.
His name was Facily Princes"
The lady was still more disappoint

in the paper long account of Gree

REM, when the following romantic
circumstance took place: Amongst

pany was a young female lion tanner
named Irma Delavante. Irma at all
times was quiet and lady-like young
woman, much the superior of the
majority of the girls who figure as
riders or acrobats in circuses and
variety shows. She was a remarkab bly,
handsome and graceful artistic, and had
maintained her self-respect in a public

ALL GONE.

Yes, they are gone dear, the children all,
Who used to gather round our hearth;
The past has echoes but we hear
No more the unchecked flow Of mirth.
Our yard is sweet with scent OF rose,
That bushes meath the sunbeam'S kiss;
And in the vale the violet
Bends meath the south winds soft caress.
But where's the little hand to pluck
The buds expanding in the lights
And where the cheeks that used to flush
With ecstacy at such sightH
saw no forms within the dell,
heard no voices on the air,
Though all day long sat beside
The window in my rocking chair
So when nights curtains round me fell
rose and closed the shutters al,
For shadows with their dusky wings
Enwrapped and chilled me like q pail.
Now here beside my CRATE sit
And watch the burning embers glow,
And look upon the irelit wall
For shadows fitting to and fro.
The rays are bright and in their gleam
TRY my heart to cheat and cheer
With memories sweet, until feel
AS if our lost must reappear.
Sweet sweet child faces only seen
Through mists Of tears grow dearer far.
No present pain, NJ loneliness,
The beauty Of the past can mar.
But now sit like one bereaved.
Whose tears make damp the funeral pail
And all my days wear yellow leaf
And snowtiakes on my temples fall.
The palms we used to clasp have dropped
Our own, to guide still weaker hands,
And feet we led so carefully
Have wandered into distant lands.
All me. Perhaps it's just as we'll
Our paths in later life diverge,
Since yours and mine draw near the sands
Where the dividing waters surge.
For as the f1eeting years roll on.
Each dearer to the other grown
While both are spared, not utterly
Can we be desolate and lone.
Then let us rise in early morn,
The roses pluck from blossomed tree,
And, with a loving trusting heart,
Wait happier eternity.

made light of it, and assured me there
was no danger, as Orlof was too great
coward to face a resolute man. For
Irma's safety neither nor Henri had
any misgivings. Strange that it never
