manciured her nails at the marble wash

'No. Come here, Perky" said the
audacious girl, stand I'll show you the
corner of that picturesque old black
smiths shop told you of-the one I'm
going to sketch this afternoon.
ats past eight, Miss Elwood, and you
know your grandfather attaches great
importance to punctuality," began the
governess.
"Right there, over the top of those
mountain pines, Perky" composedly
continued Elma, extending her slim
forefinger in due northerly direction
along the valley of the river, ''you can

BILE peeping out through the trees"
"And there's the bell, now," ex-
claimed Mrs. Perkins, with little ner-

Hummed Elma, beginning to tie back her
curls with fillet of blue ribbon. 'But

Mrs. Perkins Strengthened Emma's
sash, gave her curls several twitches this
way and that, and dragged her into the
breakfast-Ioom just in time to avert the
usual morning lecture from old Major
Elmwood on the evils of late rising.
But that afternoon, in the purple soft
ness of twilight, Elma managed to evade
her precise guardian, and slip of into
the woods with her sketch-book.
And she was sitting on moss -cush
ioned rock, working with all her might,
when Louis Dalzell strobe toward the
spring Cor a pail of water.
The sleeves of his red flannel blouse
were rolled high up on the forearm.
He still wore his stained leathern apron,
and his short, chestnut curls plainly re-
vealed themselves through the riffs in
his tattered straw hat.
Had he but known it, he never had
looked better in his life; yet deep flush
of modification rose to his brow as he
encountered the pretty twelve year old
damsel in white, with the shady, rose
garlanded hat, aud the soft Roman sash
tied loosely around her waist.
"Good afternoon !"said Emma, calmly.
"Please step little to one side, Louis,

she, sis the stump of the old tree.

Four Noted People Who Have Crossed
the Dark River.
But few days ago the reading world
was shocked By learning of the almost
simultaneous de.sths of Cardinals Man
ming and Sineoni and the Oldest son of the
Prince of Wales. After brief interval
the papers told of the demise Of Justice
Bradley: Rogers, the artist; g. A. White
Che poet, and several others only little
less eminent. Deaths in groups are but
natural in such a peculiar season as
This, when la grippe is literally staying
it's thousands.
Justice Joseph P Bradley was within
a few weeks of seventy-eight years old,
and might therefore have been retired
seven years ago, but he preferred to re-
main in service as long as he was able. His
career was curiously varied. He began
life as a Democrat, but on locating in
Newark, where manufacturing was the
leading industry, he became Wing. He
was rather severe on the abolitionists
and did not act with the Republicans tall
the civil war began. And finally,
though much criticised for his action on
the famous electoral commission of 1877,
he sustained his views by extreme state
rights principles, and in the New Orleans
slaughter house cases and other decisions
his opinions as Judge were those of an
old Jeffersonian. He was twice can
didate before the people and was de-
feated both times, so his entire active
career of ifty-two years was as lawyer
and judge.

A Snake in Church.

The services at Grace Methodist Church
were rather unpleasantly interrupted last
Sunday evening by the appearance Of a
snake in one of the aisles. The reptile,
the species of which cannot be agreed
upon by members of the congregation,
was about two feet long, and as it crawled
along the passage with a wicked look in
its eyes made things mighty uncomfort-
able for those in the immediate vicinity.
One or two ladies were especially loud in
their ordinations, and would probably
be still standing in the pew in their at
tempts to get as far as possible from his
snakeship had not courageous young
man picked up the serpent and carried it
out The ladies then regained their
seats, also their breath, and the pro-
gramme continued. The reptile was
probably harmless gopher snake, but
some have been so bold as to say that it
belonged to a more dangerous type

COME !!
THE last Poem She Wrote.l


My sweetheart my loveling! you darkened all
the day,
When from my silent dwelling your footsteps
turned away;
The morn was dark as midnight the MONDAY
sad as dawn,
The milk-white daisies dropped their heads
along the dewy lawn.
Ny darling my dearest! I sought the garden
round,
But never in blossom your precious face I
found
No rose was red beside your lips, no lily like
your throat,
No Sound or thrilling of your voice to any
thrush's note.
All! what is like your eyes, dear? gray sparkles
of the sea,
So clear and crystal shining their beryl
glaEces be;
And where is any flower of all that may COM
pare
With the softly dancing glitter of the sunshine
in your hair.
Alone through lingering daytime listen for
yeur feet,
Those springing steps no longer along the
pathway beat;
I hear the dewdrops rustic In the branches
overhead,
But home and you together for many q day
have fed.
My life is sad and weary, too dark with want
and pain,
But your dear eyes would bring its light and
gladness back again.
My soul is tired Of desert sands, bereft Of
cheer and balm,
For you were like the diamond spring beneath
its lonely palm.
Come back, come back, my darling! Across
the spaces hear!
Come light this night of grief and gloom, my
Hesper shining clear;
Not long have to linger, not long to call Or
cry;
Come back, my treasure! come, my heart,
and bless me e'er 1 die

Spanish LaZiness.

tremendous trees in California is the
averseness of the Spaniards to telling
trees or cutting live timber of any Sort"

exertion when timber in abundance sur
rounds them out of which they could
