"Going to the seaside? In November!'
Emily had stopped to pick up her
truant thimble, but now. like the good
Eneas, she stood amazed, with eyes
fixed on her companion as ii she were
an unexpected omen.
"Yes-it is odd," said Clara, gazing
out of her window over the smooth
western stretch of the lake; 'but we
must leave Chicago; and Uncle David
has given mother and me the use OF
the town house in summer and the
seaside cottage in winter. It's exceed
incly good of him, but it is funny"
..Dear! and Massachusetts! You'll
be just lost to our crowd. Well. that
rose is finished; how does it strike you?"
Clara felt chilled. Emily had been
mo end sorry" that she and her
mother had lost every dollar; had wept
real tears when the timo OF separation
had begun to seem near; and now she
was smilingiy asking her opinion OF an
embroidered rose.
With girls quick pride, however
she flung back two rising tears, ant
smiled responsively. 1T is dear

have guessed that she was disappoint

OUR HOME.

In tho deserted cot.
Beneath these elm trees who will stand
And think that home IL sweet.
When We hsve gone into that land
Where parted households meets
Oh! who VII walk beside the stream.
Or sit beneath tho pine.
To dream again lies little dream
When tits not yours, nor mine.
Will some one fell my favorite tree,
Pull down the mossy wall,
Tho things SO dear to you and mo
VIII they destroy them all?
Whose nnme will be on yonder doorf
Whose pictures deck the waIIsf
Whose feet press roughly on the floor
Where your dear footstep fails:
And when the years to centuries swing
Till ali we love are dead.
Will any echo backward bring
The words that We have said:
Ihope the brook down there will miss
An old familiar tune,
When in Q happier home than this
We talk with all our own.
For oh! this little home Is sweet,
Each corner is so dear.
Can Heaven without It be completeI
Iwould that Heaven were here.

TRAIN LEAVING CHICAGO.

"Hulloa! Brown! Wasn't aware you
were aboard! Going east?"
'Good-morning, Mr.. Willis; one
doesn't go to California via the New
York Central"
"Phew! Cynical bacteria in the air.
You'd better come into the smoker and
smoke them out"
There was something so irresistible
in Harry Willis good humor that most
people yielded to it, moro or less con-
sciously. Some amiability is exasperat-
ing and seems to say: 'See how cool
keep. Don't get excited"' But Harry
seemed absolutely unaware that there
was any sting in a spiteful remark. his
mother had once said Of him that he
was like a lightning rod. safe con-
ductor for dangerous currents.
That's all right" Mr.. Brown spoke
less irritably, or, rather as if his irri-
tat:on had not been meant for Harry,
but directed against the world in gen
eral. "But people do say so many
things without any aim whatever-or
with more aim than is apparent" he
added, as if a new idea had struck him.
Did you really want to know if took
! an cast bound train in order to go east,

use of shamming? You're bound for

years of age. Van Slycls is an old

being in 4 bantering mood said:
"Mr. Van Slycl. which of us do you

Van was in a dilemma. Ic did not
like to hurt the feelings of either. He

LEFT FOOT FIRST.
some Interesting Observations Among

some Interesting Observations among
Schooiboys.
Soldiers always start off with the left
foot. AS the right hand is more readily
put into action so it is usually with the
left foot: and so in mounting horses or
BICYCLES it is the left foot which Is
placed in the s;irrup or on the step.
In races bicycles usually circle to the
left, the pre- ba bility being that doing
more work with the left than with the
right leg, the machine more readily and
agreeably bears to the left.
So, in jumping, the most men receive
the greater impetus from the left foot.
In football, opinions differ as to which
of the two feet is brought more fire.
ouently into action. In the water,
however, most men, especially in rae
inc. swim with the right half of the
| body downwards, thus not only main
tanning their equilibrium with the
heavier half lower, but also placing the
chief propelling power-namely the
| left ler-in the most direct line of ac-
| ton.
Some few years ago Mr. {. II. Oar
| win made some observations of the fol-
| lowing nature: He got eight school
! bows from ten to twelve years of age
| and offered a prize to the boy who
| should walk straightesG blindfolded.
Before the contest he scattered some
| sawdust on the ground and after maxi
ing each of the boys walk over it, meas
urcd their strides from right to left ant
from left to right. He states that they
were all right-handed in throwing
stone, but believed that two of then
exhibited some mark of being. rartl.
left-handed.
The six who were totally right-hand
ed took longer strides from left to righ
than from right to left, hoped wit
the left foot, and in jumping rose frol
, that leg. Taking them into field au
making them successfully lool. st
. stick at about forty yards distance, i
then blindfolded them and started the
. to walk, guiding them straight for tt

boys all diverged to the right, the tv
