70 AN OLD FRIEND.


70 AN OLD FRIEND.
"a place in thy memory.
Is all that can claim;
Wilt pause and list when thou nearest
The sound of my name."-Oid Ballad.
Nellie, dost deign to think of me,
Old friend, sometimes?
would not all forgotten be,
I'd fain hold in thy memory
fond place still-o, vividly
Thine image hsunts me, thoughts of thee
Color my rhymes.
Thy face in winning witchery
see in dreams
With all its old-time trust; to me
Floats back the dead past and see
Thee in thy maiden purity,
Fair as white lilies on a sea
Where starlight CLEANS.
By accident we sometimes meet
Fen as today
Yet none may guess how my pulses beat,
Or how start-what visions sweet
Rise up to mock my incomplete
Life, so sad-ay, my soul doth greet
Thine own alway.
Upon our brows the lines of care
Have left their trace,
In paling cheek and silvered. hair.
But o, thine own is passing fair,
As moonlight on the snow, and eer
heavenly peace seems resting there.
On that sweet face.
No solemn, stern tomorrow dread
o friend be brave
The years shall pass above each head,
And though the days of youth have fed
Be brave! Where farewells are unsaid
Wen meet-where tears never shed
Beyond the grave.
Though Time may furrow DER each brow,
And dim the eye;
Submissiyely to Fate wen bow,
Nor ask the wherefore and the how;
Though friends be few 10 each trow-
Some look on us from Hesvn now.
Others pass by.
Yet o. amid life's darkest ills
yearn for thee.
In dreamy hours thy low voice thrills
Me, fills me, here among the hills.
In dreams alone-the thought that chills
Is that my path destiny wills
Afar from thee.
Let us be bravel Therell come day
When we shall rest;
When all earth's scenes shall pass away,
Its storms all done, and we shall lay
Its labors down-behold the ray
To light us home, no more to stray
That day were best

Newspapers and soap.

Frank Siddalls, the soap manufacturer,
was once asked why he did newspaper ad-
vertising altogether, and did not follow in
the footsteps of other manufactures, putting
up sign boards, etc. He replied that in
his experience he found that the man
that does not read the newspaper never
uses soap.

Home Fed Oysters.

Years ago family lived on farm
in little county town, where ther''
was no railroad, and the nearest city
was a number of miles distant. The
father was very fond of oysters, and
how do you suppose he managed to
have some always lat hand" He
would drive to the nearest city, buy
a bushel of real live" ones and bring
them back home with him. But that
was not all. They were then care
fully placed in rows along the cellar
floor, where it was rather dark and
cool and little damp.
The most interesting part, how
ever, was to keep them alive. Every
little while some one would so down
cellar" and feed them by sprinlSling
them with meal and with water.
One of the little girls in the family,
who is now grown up, says she can
remember how the oysters closed
their shells with a snap after they
were fed but perhaps that was only
in her imagination. Anyway, if they
happened to be forgotten for time
they would be found patiently wait
ing with their shells open ready to
receive their next meal. -Harper's

The rnhabItanta Of Mars.

It seems tous that unless the whole
conception of communicating with
Mars be in the highest degree ex-
travagant. we have some reason to
assume that the possible Martials are
behind not before, us in their stage
of development and civilization. We
know that the tribes upon our earth
which hve under the most unfavor-
able conditions as regards heat-the
Eskimo. for instance, and the Pata-
gonians-are far behind the inhab-
itants of the temperate regions III
civilization, and therefore If we may
draw any inferences at all as to the
Martials from our own condition, the
more probable inference is that If
they exist under circumstances at all
like our own. they are, considering
their great distance from the sun,
centuries behind us rather than at
the same stage Of evolution, or still
less centuries before us.
And if we had no right to draw an
inference then we have still less to
reason with the smallest confidence
from our own circumstances to theirs.
They may of course have senses such
as we have not even dream Of;
they may be perfectly well ae
cuainted with all that happens not
only on our globe, but on all the
other planets, and yet quite unable to
let us know that they are familiar
with our conditions of life and how
they have acquired that knowledge.
But if that were so it would be only
too obvious that our conditions OF
life furnish us with no basis for
forming any conjecture at all as to
theirs, and in that case it would not
only be sanguine but quite irrational
to attempt to open communications
at all. London Spectator.

A Contradiction of Term ..

Young John Green was q very lit

after he had graduated at the high
school and taken a years course in
shorthand, obtained a situation as a
secretary in large mercantile es-
tablishment. One day his employer,
who had q good opinion Of Johns lit
erary abilities, called him and said:
Green, l want yoif to write cir
cular letter to our customers telling
them squarely what we are going to
do for them in the matter of that big

"And didn't you also tell me that
it was to be circular lettera"
"Why, yes"
"Well, sir, how can it be square
and circular at the same time2 That

steadily at John, II forgot the geom

AHeCtatiOn.

We all hate affectation. The truth
is that people use the word in a mar
row sense; they are thinking of a
silly or an offensive habit. But this
is the outward sign assumed by per
sons of i'll balanced judgment Of
some fancy which perhaps is harm
less or even honorable. The term
means something put ont is sim
ply the Latin translation of that Eng
lish phrase, and we keep the original
in our putting on" side. Thus it
implies an ideal-the assumption Of
qualities or conditions an individual
would like to possess. Obviously
this may or may not be discreditable
to him.
On the former case it is not worth
while to dwell; the boy who would
pass for rake is both offensive and
silly, but he that would be mistaken
for sportsmen, a child of poetry,
with insufficient qualifications, a con
noisseur in this or that, a woman
hater, an iesthete, makes himself
only ridiculous. So does the girl
who feigns to despise her own sex OF
the other, to be devoted to mans
sports and occupations, or, contrari
wise, to be TOO ethereal for this un
romantic age.
The point is that in each instance
the affected one is aiming at some
ideal which he or she would like tc
achieve. And, as has been said, what
mortal, granted his share of the di
yiner part, is unconscious of such 8
longingl If he have also his proper
share of common sense he will sup
press the show. But the fancy ant
the impulse are there. National Oh
