Conquered BY Kindness.

About 6 o'clock one evening recently
the driver of q Third avenue street car,
bound uptown with heavy load Of
passengers, stopped his horses just be-
fore reaching Grand street, hitched the
lines tight and ran over to a fruit stand
on the curb and bought couple of
rosy apples, says the New York Sun.
Returning to his horses he gave each
of them an apple, which the animals
munched with great apparent relish.
Then jumping on the platform he
shook the lines loose and the horses
started off in way that made tho
standing passengers grip the straps
convulsively.
To passenger on the front platform
the driver said that as a matter of fact
and not sentiment one apple was worth
more than all the whips in New York
in getting satisfactory work from the
horses. 81 never use whip on any
horse" he said. 81 drive six horses n
day and give each one an apple. and
they seem to look forward to the treat.
The scheme cures balky and obstinate
horses, and enlivens lazy or tired
horses wonderfully" And the way tho
horses covered the ground and did
their work generally seemed to bear
out his theory. They made up for the
time lost by the stop in less than three
blocks, and kept on up like a fresh
team.

THE BIRTH OF SPRING.

Glove, love - cooeth the dove,
Down in the new green wheat.
Flecking the dew from the shimmering
blades
With each trip of his little pink feet.
Glove. love - answereth dove
Up on the sunny hill.
Where she hovers around-till the new nest
be found
The shell of the old nest still.
Peep. peep; gentle as sleep
Creepeth the meadow grass,
Emerald-green. with a silvery sheen
Where the glamouring sunbeams pass.
Bright, bright, to the amOrous light,
Leapeth the tender leaves,
While silent below. to the rivulet's flow
The water-rush wakes and weaves.
When 10 . cometh rain on the lattice-pane,
And falleth all night and day;
Then flasheth the sun on the woodlands
dun.
And driveth the mists away.
And high in the boughs where the south
wind soughs.
The mocking-birds whirl and sing;
The new earth is born. 'Tis Creations
morn;
The pledge Of Gods love is spring.

why? Be it recorded to his shame
that he had eaten too late and too
much at a stag-party the evening pre-

wakened with a headache and the

He should have got to the Office
earlier that morning, since Hartman
was to be away that day on business,
and the fact that il was after nine
o'clock made him grumpier still.
He whirled around in his swivel
chair and ierked dozen papers out Of
a drawer in his desk, having thrown
the merest glance at the young lady
who was seated at the typewriter in an
opposite corner, busily working it.
He remembered that a new type
writer was to begin her engagement
