Yellow with dust il stretches far away
On the messed wall the chipmunks frisk and
play.
Where golden daisies broider all the air
Now nature seems to dream mid fragrance
rare,
For summer silence holds unbroken sway,
Till round the bend a creaking vain of hay
Comes numbering down the drowsy thorough

Then all is still again. The orchard trees
Are motionless as the distant purple hills
On which the shadows OF the white clouds

When suddenly the white hecked clover seas
All Joyous tremble, while the bobolink

when saw woman complete her pur-
chase, pay her money and stand waiting

Not until am through she replied
coldly, without even turning her head.

longer before parcels and coins we're
handed to her."

"She was a very disobliging woman,

scowled.

John, "when this woman walked up and
along the line aud calmly thrust herself

"Well, isn't that what you call WON.

"It was one woman's progress" retort-
ed Mrs. John, "and everybody hated her
for it."
Then she dropped her vehemence and
became discoursive.

as said, set me to thinking. | began to
wonder when we are ladies' if at all.

either OF these selfish and unjust things, nor
pushing and scrambling around bargain
counter, nor spreading our skirts over two
seats in filling street car. We are not
when in church or elsewhere we are over

dressed than our neighbors, nor when we
are devouring a bit of gossip, repeating
and enlarging upon !; ; nor, indeed, when
we are scolding the children, quarreling
with the servants or regarding, If We are
boarders, our landlady as natural enemy"
Nor when," helped Mrs. John, "as
last summer in the mountains that healthy
young woman refused to give up her big
room over Sunday to accommodate four
persons with no other shelter, while per-
fectly comfortable single room was at her
disposal. and it had been in the bond
of her contract at low rates that she should
occasionally, if required"
"No, indeed" echoed Mrs. John, who
was ono of the unhappy four, ~ shall never
forgive that girl"
Then she caught my eye, and we both
laughed.
"It's no laughing matter" she finished
defantly, "then or now. II is pity rather
that there should be so many women who
would scorn not to be called ladies who
have only thin parlor veneer Of manners"

When Postmaster General Bissell is not

bar of Buffalo was made up Of every vari-
ETY., as we'll as abundance, Of men Of wit
and humor. Judge Stryker, who was on
the Common Pleas Bench, was an accom-
plished jurist with high sense Of the Dig
nifty of his position.

known Elihu Root practiced occasionally
in the court. He was msn Of genius aud
a good lawyer. but occasionally he got lit
tie jag in the practice Of his profession as
well as when engaged in other pursuits
One day he was especially obIivious Of pro-
prieties and kept constantly interrupting
the Judge with irrelevant remarks.

with frown Of judicial severity.

In spite of the privacy which Tennyson
maintained many are the anecdotes Of him
or of his household.
It is told that once certain famous
prince of the house of Hanover, familiar
with the poets shirking habits, yet anxious
to pay his respects to him, found himself
near Tennyson's home in the Isle of Wight.
The Prince called unaccompanied and
strictly incognito. A page came to the
door.
"Whom shall | sayg"
"The Prince of Wales" was the reply.
Whereupon the page, performing ges-
ture somewhat similar 10 the one described
by Teunyson as performed by Lynette-in
other words, putting his dexter thumb to a
nose "tiptilted like the petal Of flower
playfully observed:
"Ha, yes Prince of Wales; we know 8
trick worth two of that" and he slammed
the door in the face Of his royal highness.

Policy of Selling Bonds.

In their last circular Messrs. HAMILTON
a Co., of Baltimore, say:
"In our opinion policy Of selling bonds Tor
tho purpose Of raising gold-in other WORDS,
using ones credit TO sustain ones credit-would
be very injudicious and the remedy would be
worse thnn the disease. As temporary ex-
pedient such policy might DO tolerated, but It
is indefensible and we may depend upon II no
thing short Of a repeal Of the silver act OF 1S9O
will cure the evil"
These gentlemen are right, and we trust
that Mr. CARLISLE will think twice before
he does anything that will injure the
credit of the nation. Austria speaks Tor
all Europe when she says that If the
United States Government desires to effect
new loan she will cease her efforts to Sc
cure one for herself until the great west
ern power shall have been accommodated
with as much money as it needs. Such Is
the high standing of UNCLE SAN IN the
financial world. But this high standing
10 based upon what we have done in the
past, not upon any such scheme as that Of
borrowing money to keep up a reserve
fund, or, as the circular above quoted
phrases IT. using ones credit to sustain
ones credit"
