The Poems of Fashion.

The poetic diction of the ladies who
condescepd - for consideration - to
write concerning the fashions is some
thing to wonder at. We are told this
year that the summer unierlinen now
being shown in the shop windows is
simply dream of soft, delicate confec-
tons in silk and lace" And it is further
specified that there are accordion plait-
ed nightgowns, falling in creamy rifles
from neck to toes, and accordion plated
petticoats as light as air." 1t is the year
of weddings, and the getting together of
a trousseau of underclothing of this fan
tastic and ethereal sort must have been
keen delight to the feminine SOUL

the streets ran shambling down and
converged upon the wharves, and he
went up one and down another looking
vainly for his father Presently, with a
thrill of horror, he saw the man come
reeling from little grog shop down by
the water side. An aching heAvi-
as he stood dumbly watching him.
What had it all come to, his saving this
man and bringing him back into the
world? With bitter throb he started
toward him. The man saw him COM
ing, as he stood leering about, and
started down the shore toward home.
The boy followed, hoping in some way
to turn him aside that his mother might
be spared this torturing sight. Sudden
ly, as the father zig-zagged forward, he
turned and confronted the boy.
s'Son, you're trump, and want the
money ye got for the washin'," he said,
thicllly
Paul gave cry of horror and sprang
back, but in his lameness he stumbled
and FELL and the father jumped heavily
upon him.
Gimme the money! he yelled wild
ly, as they struggled; but the boy
only gave pitiful cry, and got up
with him. Then they began to strug-
gle as they stood, writhlng, reeling,
striking, and suddenly they plunged
headlong down towards the water.
There a cup-like dent in the bank
caught and held them, but the boy fell
beneath and was partly stunned, and the
man got upon him with his knees and
held him while ne tore the money from
his pocket. AS he got up, the boy, like
one in a terrible dream, clutched him
desperately about the knees, but the
rum-crazed father struck him cruel
blow in the face and he fell back sense
less at the waters edge.
1t seemed long time before con-
seriousness returned to him. The saws
sang on at the mills, the clouds blew
over, the tide running outward licked

strangest journey of his life. He swept
her out upon the swells. Thank fortune,
his arms and chest were well-nigh as
thiclSly muscled as mans! His poor,
hating legs would not be needed in
this bitter race! He thought of his
mother and looked up at Beaver head.
Carl was standing upon its verge.
'sTell mother that father has drifted
out to sea, an that I'm goin' after him!'
shouted Paul. ''Oh, Carl, tell her FL
bring him back to her if livc-if l.
live!'' and he laid the boat about on
the water, and sent her out with all his
strength.
sTcH mother let him go Tell her I
couldn't wait to see her! o Carl, be
good to her if me and father never
come eback-no-more!" Then the voice
failed; the boy upon the cliff could hear
it no longer, and turned and ran toward
the house, and Paul went outward on
the swells.
He sat facing the great furrowcd
front of the head as he pulled. Would
he ever see it again? All that he loved
was up there, save the poor father toss
ing toward the sunset. He saw figures
running to and fro upon the height;
his mother was among them! A chok-
ing lump rose into his throat, but he
never once slackened his desperate
stroke. Outward he went, outward,
outward, as if life and hope lay only in
the dangerous central sea. The head
began to sink; slowly it went down,
but his eyes never left it for moment.
Soon it's top alone was visible, a blush
spot with moving specks upon it. Then
slowly that, too, went down, and reap
peared, and sank again, and he was
alone upon the wide, mysterious sea.
He closed his eyes, his breath coming
hard with the struggle, and great
wretchedness fell upon him as the land,
with all it held, was parted utterly
from him. But he did not pause; out
ward, outward he went, crying in his
heart to God for time, for daylight, in
which to save the one he had lost.
Suddenly he leaped up and looked
narrowly across the vast expanse moth
belts Of light and shade as the fleecy
clouds blew over, and with a piteous
cry he sprang to the oars and drove the
heavy boat onward. Oh, if he could
but reach his father ere the sun ceased
to brighten distant objects on the water!
He pulled with every muscle strained
well-nigh to breaking. At last he felt
himself turn sick with labor, and fell
upon his knees and dashed his face and
head with water He was dripping with
sweat and his heart was fluttering from
long and violent action. He thrust his
hot arms in the water to the shoulders
as he hung over the side of the boat, and
his dizziness passed. Then he Ieaped up
again and pulled feverishly forward.
The first great surging sense of crime
and pollution never lifted itself from
his spirit for moment. A deadly ex-
haustion began to creep upon him, but
he could not rest; the boat kept leaping
outward, and over all the face of the
deep there was no sound save the oars
working in the locks, his laboring
breath, and the low slap and gurgle of
the water under the advancing Prov.

RATS.
BY MATTE M'cAsLAND.

In small, meanly furnished room in
the third story of tenement building,
| Professor Carl Schwartz, teacher of Ger
man and French, as his modest sign on
the outside door indicated, sat in de-
jected attitude. One slim hand sup
ported his blonde head; the abundant
yellow curls shaded face that was thin
to attenuation, and everything around
betokened extreme poverty.
"Mein Gott, Gift helb, muttered the
professor, "for l know not what to dol
Pupils can not get; food l must have.
All, America, what has thou here for the
poor German?"
AS though in answer to his question
there was sharp, quick rap at the door.
His handsome face flushed eagerly; he
arose, and with the courtly grace of a
Chesterfield, ushered in his visitors, a
stately old man and two bright boys.
In ten short minutes from the time of
their entrance the happy German found
himself the proud possessor of two pupils,
sons of wealthy banker, with the prom
Use of their fathers influence to secure
him more patrons.
There was one "schmall leetle cloud, /"
as the poor professor mentally declared,
In this sudden burst of sunlit sky.
II will pay at the end of the first
quarter, the banker had said, fixing
what seemed munificent sum, as I
make it rule never to pay for thing
till get it," and Carl could only mur-
mur, Dot ish right"
The father departed, leaving his sons
for their first lesson, and after it was
over the professor fell to conversing about
the dear "faderland, aud his experience
since coming to America. Among other
things he mentioned the rats.
sTis ish goot room for tenn, so many
holes; ven shleep tay run over me like
rabbits; I likes not such bedfellows. Tay

Just like mechanics" interjected one
of the boys.

Are there no rats in Germany?" asked
John, the elder brother.
"Yes;, but tay take not such leeber-
ties"
"America is the land of liberty even
for rats, laughed Henry. "Whew! look
at that big fellow going up the sink
spout" he continued in whisper; for,
sure enough, fine specimen of the
rodent tribe had whisked out into full
view, sooh disappearing again at sight of
the boys,

softly at his hair, but he lay still with
his bleeding Sace turned back in the
sunshine, mute protest against the
ever-cursing evils of the cup.
After time he moaned like one in a
troubled sleep, and turned, himself.
The cooling water touched his face and
he awol1e. Then it all came back to
him-the struggle and the dreadful
hour, and he got upon his feet and stag
gered up the bank. He looked up the
shore to the town, and there his father
was, a hatless sot, reeling from the
grog-shop by the water side. The boys
blne eyes began to blaze; his very
blood seemed to curdle with hatred and
loathing, The man came little way
down the shore where some boats were
rocking and tugging at the chains
which held them. Evidently he pur-
posed gettingninto one of them to sleep
his drunkenness away.
The boy watched him walk waver-
ingly out upon the landing-plank to a
large four-oared boat. The chain hung
loosely over the stake at the end of the
plank, and the mans foot caught under
it, lifting it from the stake, and he fell
forward into the boat, giving it great
lurch outward. The wind had been
blowing steadily from the land all day,
and long crested swells were running
westward as far as the eye could reach.
The man, from being stunned, or in a
stupor, did not rise, and the boat began
drifting outward. The oars had been
removed, and the boy turned about
with noise in his ears like gurgling
water. The sun seemed to get dark to
him; the greatest struggle of his life
had come.
He started to get the boat at the
head and save the man; then he stood
still with his fists clenched and
watched the boat come down the bay.
No one seemed tonotice it, and outward
it drifted, borne on the long, rolling
swells. 1t passed by the boy, and he
wavered and strained in the conflicting
currents of feeling that beset him.
Should he save him? He saved him but
yestermornI Lo, his rewardl But was
not he who MIGHT save a life and WOULD
not, almost as guilty as he who took
one? Something like this passed through
his mind, but. he could not reason; his
thoughts seemed scattered and confused
by his anger,
The boat drifted through the mouth
of the bay; there the unbrolSen wind
quickened the swells, and it passed into
the open deep. Thousands of miles of
water spread away before it, and with
out food or oars the unconscious father
went outward into the glimmering
waste.
AT last the boat dwindled to a speclx
and died in the blue gulf, and great
white cloud shut down upon it, like the
marble covering to a grave. At that o
poignant sense of separation fell upon
the boy, the first sharp throe of anguish,
as the bond that nature had placed be-
tween them parted. He stood appalled,
at the deed he had done. A vision of the
man starving, raving, drowning, rose
before him, and, with cry of terror,
he broke through the hate and rage
that bound him, and ran towards the
head.
The boat was lying there with PROV
upon the yellow sand. He pushed 1t
out and leaped In and spread out the
oars, those trusty water-wings that |
were to move him upon the widest, /

A half hour of terror went by: then
suddenly he burst out of the wreathing
