A poet, TO have a successful sale for
book Of verse, should bear in mind one
potent fact-that the poetry for which
there is the greatest general demand to.
day is that which appeals to the heart,
rather than to the mind. That Is the So
cret Of the greater sale of Longfellow's
books over those Of Walt Whitman; that
is why Whittier outsells Browning, why
a thousand copies of Dr. Holmes poetical
works are sold 20 one Of Swinburue; why
Will Carleton outsells Thomas Bailey
Aldrich; why James Whitcomb Riley's
poems sell rs fast rs they are put on the
shelves, while those Of Andrew Lang and
Austin Dobson stand year after year
looking at each other from the same rel
ative position on the same shelves.
The cynical literary critic may sneer
at VIII Carleton, he may pick flaws in
James Whitcemb Riley's verse, he may
tell you that Eugene Field Ia only news
paper poet, but does the public listen to
the all knowing critic and buy the works
Of the long ago buried poets whom he
chooses to call immortal2 Ask the book
sellers; ask the publishers. To defy the
readers easy conception of a thought in a
poem may be to have your name included
in the intense literary set, but it will moi
sell your poems.-Edward W. Box in

THg APOLOGY.

Cbido not n here you haply md
The rough romance OF country Loves
I sing as we'll the brook and wind
The green below, the blue above.
Here shar you read Of spreading oresL
The velvet Of the Bparrow's neck
Sometimes shall glance the glowing trees
And Laura's snow without speck.
The crab that sets the mouth awry,
The chestnut with its domes Of pink,
The splendid palace Of the sky,
The pool whero drowsy cattle drink,
The stack where Colin hides TO catch
The mllkmaid with her beaded load;
Tho singing lark, q poets match,
That travels upthe great blue roadi
Tho cherry whence the blackbird bold
Bteals ruby mouthfuls athis ease,
Tho glory Of laburnurn gold,
The valiant piping Of the breeze
An, all are here. The rustic Muse
Shah sing the pansY and the thrush.
All, chide not n she sometimes choose
The country love, the country bluahl

The laughter and song in the adobe
casita stopped at a knock on the outer
door, and Ned Warren's pretty Acapul- |
can answered the summons. A neat |
parcel was handed her by the messenger, |
which she eagerly unfolded. with the |
compliments of -," it said, but she |
knew the handwriting
"How funny at this hourr she thought, |
but her swapping black eyes danced with
glee as she undid the parcel and found It
to contain an immense black pearl set
In beaten yellow metal Of quaint work
manship At her exclamation Of delight
the others grouped about, and the object
Of their admiring glances was laid upon
the table for inspection.
Aninstinctive shudder passed through
Sanford as Muriella laid 1t under the
candle light. Il seemed to emit pecu-
liar light, and a queer, pricking sensa-
ton went through his veins as he viewed
the iewel-the largest Of its kind he had
ever seen. As he looked a feeling of ex-
hilaration came over him, such as he
had not felt during the evening.
"That last drink of tequila was too
much" he thought, but the others, too,
were beginning to evince signs Of lveli-
ness even greater than all the hilarity OF
the night had brought forth. A faint
blue haze seemed to cover every object
in the room The figures of the girls at
intervals looked far away and then near
bv. while n feeling of utter reclklessness
pervaded his whole being All the phan-
tasins of the opium eater could not be
more weird than those which came into
sanford's brain as his gaze was riveted
on the jewel lying among the candles
grouped around it on the table. In their
/ dim light it seemed to grow and grow,
emitting a demoniacal glow that, but for
the spirit Of recllessness which possessed
him, would have filed his soul with
| dread
"The fandango," ," cried one Of the girls,
with a wild burst of laughter. LET us
dance once more, for 1 feel as though my
feet were on fire." and when the guitar
sounded the notes of the dance the dane
ers seemed to enter into 1t with fiendish
delight and boisterious enthusiasm. Back
and forth they crossed, swaying like will
lows in the wind, with hands on hips and
heads we'll back their feet pattering and
stamping to the twanging of the guitar
Faster and faster their movements be-
came, as the music seemed to fill every
fiber with its wild action.
Five bodies were found in the adobe
casita next morning, but with no marks
Of violence or other signs to show the
cause of death.
The gossips of that quaint Mexican
seaport tell a weird tale Of black pearl,
taken from the gulf, that acts upon be-
holders as does the loco weed upon all
who taste that evil plant, and they tell,
too, of a mad dance of death years ago
when two foreigners and three beauties
Of the place fell exhausted about the
jewel, whose demoniacal fire kept them
treading the fandango till every energy
was gone and life went from them

The nitro metals" are new class of
compounds discovered by Sabatier and
senderens. They have found that re-
duced copper absorbs, in the cold, the
vapors of nitrogen peroxide, heat being
disengaged during the process. The
product is maroon colored compound,
the composition Of which is represented
by the formula Cu2NO2. This is nitro
copper. A similar compound has been
obtained with cobalt.-New York Jour

A few hints in that notebook, recon-
mended by Mrs. Jenness Miller, in regard
to careless wastefnlness, are well worth
considering. Waste in the kitchen is
often very great from apparently trivial
sources.

become wormy.
Vinegar and sauce are left standing in
tin.
Apples are left to decay for want Of
Sorting over.
The tea canister is left open.
Victuals are left exposed, to be eaten BY
the mice
Bones of meat and carcasses of turkeys
are thrown away, when they could be used
in making good soups.
Sugar, tea, coffee and rice are carelessly
spilled in the handling.
Soap is left to dissolve and waste in the
water.
Dish towels ars used for dish cloths.
Napkins are used for dish towels.
Towels are used for holders.
Brooms and mops are not hung up.
More coal is burned than necessary By
not arranging hampers when not using
the FIRE. .
Lights are left burning when not in use.
Tin dishes are not properly cleansed and
dried.
Good new brooms are used in scrubbing
kitchen floors.
Silver spoons are used in scraping kei-
tells.
Using carving or bread knives instead of
the regular kitchen knife.
Cream is left to mould and spoil,
Mustand is left to spoil in the cruise, etc.
Pickles become spoiled by the leaking
out or evaporation Of the vinegar.
Pork spoils for want Of salt, and beef
because the brine wants sealding.
Hams become tainted or filed with
vermin for want of care.
Cheese moulds and is eaten by mice and
yermin.
Tea and coffee pots are injured on the
stove.
Woodenware is unscalded and left TO

Come, genial spring, with all yonr charms
And clasp Aurora in your armsl
And clothe again the barren trees.
And chase the torpor from the bees
For songsters ofthe woods declare
That spring has come and she is fair
First, Easter lilies, waxen pale,
Bring from the far sequestered vale
And arbutus, from Southern cline,
And daisy buds and jessamine
Whose breath is sweet, and doth declare
That spring has come and she is fair.
And then bring rosy blossoms red,
And round the May Queens golden head
A sweet. delightful garland twine,
With pansy bloom and eglantinel
thousand blossoms rich and rare
For spring has come and she is fair
