The ~YellOw Day."

Sept. 6, 1851, is well remembered
in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont
and parts of New York and Pennsyl-
vania as the yellow day." Canada
also took on some of the characters,
tics noted in the states above men
toned, only that the yellow was of
a dull, greenish cast, which accounts
for the fact that the Canucks refer
to it as the "green day" In the
morning the sky had the appearance
of being clouded, but as the sun arose
it was plainly visible and Of the color
of tarnished brass. About midday
the intense yellow was most appar-
ent-everything except leaves and
grass was of a well tinted dark vel
low color. The cause of the phenom-
enon has never been satisfactorily
explained. Philadelphia Press.

the ''Old Kings Head" which is, in
some sort, of historic literary interest,
for in "Pretcrita" Mr.. Ruskin writes:

than that my maternal grandmother
was the landiady Of the Old Kings
Head in Market street, Croydon; and |

quarter now given over to sleeping

on Saturdays a street market Of tho

Of the I3lithesonac Youth.

Despair and Ruin Were Leff Ii the Track
Of the Bilthesome Youth.
A free and joyous youth, whose wide
eyes looked frankly upon the world,
and who also wore a sash and a pink
tie. What secret guilt was on his soul,
that he quailed before the elderly man
who overlook MIN? Why did his cane.
that he had been dragging harmlessly
behind him. handle down, slide into the
gutter? Why did his breath come in
quick. short gasps, his teeth chatter
and his knees knock together? The
elder was, in appearance, a person OF
wealth. for the quality Of his garb be-
spoke it, yet, his attire was recklessly
dlisordered; it was rent and stained; his
hat, though it bore traces Of former
care, was dashed with the filth of the
streets. and the look of grief and pain
showed that he was a man who had
suffered. With firm and impressive
port he bespoke the youths attention.
"Young man." he said, II have
watched your course when you have
not needed me. BE warned! 1t may
be the careless gaiety of your years
rather than wilful crime that yOu need

that. although you have net yet fallen.
your acts are hurling others to despair
and ruin. 1t is your way ever to look
forward. You do not hear their groans,
their cries, their curses. o, reform in
time and cease this evil. or some victim,
less lenient than I. may come upon you
and revenge himself for his catastro-
phies by cutting you of in the flower
Of your youth. Another rcpeti-
ton of your offensc may bring
calamity on you and woe upon
your household. To you the con-
sequence of a misstep seems small, but,
All! think what il means TO those above

families dependent on them, who stand

The young man looked back, for the
other had got through shaking him
then. He discovered that eight people
had slipped on the banana skins which
he had blithesomely strcwn over the
sidewalk in his march. He fled when
he saw the ambulance coming.-C. 5.
