A Blind Car Horse.

Daniel is jet black gelding, years old
and he is as blind as bat, but he makes
four night runs on the Broadway railroad
every alternate night. 1t is doubtful if
any equine on the line knows every turn
in the road and every switch along the
route any better than Daniel. From Fiji
ty-ninth street to the Battery Daniel never
makes mistake His driver says he is
the easiest horse to handle in the stahleg
and that he can tell when he is approach
ing any of the little iron platforms which
act as levers to move the switches on the
road as well as if blessed with the keenest
eyesight. He is the off horse of the team,
and as the off horse has to step on the
switch platforms when necessary to shove
them over, the value Of Daniels sagacity
can be seen at once.
Night or day is all the same to Daniel
He could travel the route as we'll if the
city was in DARKNESS as in broad daylight.
Moreover, he knows his own stall, and he
will walk down the line of horses occupy
ing other stalls till he comes to his own,
and he was never known to enter the wrong
stall,
Daniel has been on the road five years,
and he has been blind all that time. He
can make as good time as any horse on the
line, and he always travels slightly in adj
vance of his mate.-New York Herald.

1t Is curious that IN all our long telephone
I talks never remembered to tell you that

1earest little girl imaginable. was going

much, to take her out for short drive in

Poor Charles heart, which had almost
resumed its normal condition, fell rapidly
at this suggestion. 1t was certainly a case
OF out of the frying pan," etc. He had
only escaped the horror of being obliged to
| squire Mrs. Mellerby through the city to
find himself confronted with the even more
obnoxious alternative Of playing dry nurse
to that lady's 'sdear little girl" eff you
are not afraid Of my mare" he said, with a
painful effort at looking unconcerned, II
shall be most happy. But fear the brute
is decidedly restive''-
You are an excellent driver, Pm sure"
replied Mrs. Mellerby sweetly eyes.
think can trust my Gertie to your care.
Excuse me for moment and / will call
her."
When Mrs Mellerby left the room Char
lie Dennison covered his face with his
hands. This, then, was the punishment of
his indiscretion. He could yet escape, but
escape would be cowardly; and besides,
Mrs. Mellerby might tell the story to the
other fellows over the telephone. On the
whole, it was better to remain and see the
thing out
His thoughts were interrupted by the
mellifuous voice OF Mrs. Mellerby. "Char-
lie" murmured that lady, permit me to
introduce you to my daughter, Gertie"
Charlie Dennison almost shouted when
he beheld the ''dear little grip who stood
in the door. For the ''dear little girl" was
as fair specimen of eighteen-year-old
beauty as ever his eyes had rested on. She
was not SO very little" either, being quite
as tall as her mother, and looking, with
her wavy brown hair and great gray eyes,
like vivified portrait of that comely per-
sonage taken many years before.
Charles system felt by this time as if it
had undergone a succession of electric
shocks, SO that Miss Gertie's first impress
sions of him were hardly favorable 1t is
needless to say that Charlie at once fore
swore any idea of flight. He took 'his
Laura's'' daughter out driving with the
ightest heart in the world and drove twice
beneath the windows of Lastwill & Tes-
lament, to the unspeakable chagrin of both
Gubbins and Simpkinson Potter.
Mrs Mellerby no longer occupied her
seat in the central telephone office; yet
when she wishes to send word to the boys
in Lastwill & Testament's she tells her
son-in-law, Charlie Dennison, about it at
the breakfast table.-Joh ohm Gerald Brennan

A Hard Hearted PeonIa.

Filial piety finds no place in Thibettian
character. It is no uncommon thing for a
son to turn his father, when too old for
work, out of doors and to leave him TIC
perish in the cold. The superstition that
the souls of the dead can, if they will,
haunt the living drives their hardened
natures to gain by the exercise Of cruelty
the promise of the dying that they will not
return to earth.
AS death approaches the dying person is
asked, "Will you come back or will you
pot?" If he replies that he will, they pull
q leather bag over his head and smother
him; if he says he will not, he is allowed to
die in peace.-Edinburgh Review.

DREAMLAND.

In the dim realm wandered through
The shadow land of sleep, -
Came many souls of lovers true,
A tryst unknown to keep.
There came the God of Dreams to rule
His phantom kingdom DER,
And roses white and wonderful,
And ghostly lilies bore.
And as wandered, loneliest
The spirits free among,
Unto all those whose love was blest
The fairest flowers he flung.
Then caught his garments floating hem,
Murmuring bitterly,
skiing, all the daylight is for them
And hast thou naught for me?"
An instant as staid him there
He looked upon my face.
Before his garments fold of air
Melted from my embrace.
Then, swifter than shadow flies,
He passed, and no flower fell
But his eyes were as my lost loves eyes,
Looking last farewell.
