the tears had come at last. They
rained through the soft fingers, they
slid down the white arms. A storm
of weeping overmastered the girl. The
sound of her conyulsive sobs filed the
room.
sMy poor childl Won't you open
the door to me? want to tell you
something"
There was no force, not even the
turning of the knob, no command, no
passionate entreaty. Only that tender,
pleading request.
Slowly Marion rose, to her feet,
blinded by tears, and groped her way
to the door. She could not have gone
astray even in the darkness. Something
drew her thither-something stronger
than will, something surer than sight
Her hand found the key It was but
the turning of wrist, and
But still the door opened not. He
would not enter until she opened to
him. Marion's heart stood still.
Should she? Should she Her hand
was on the knob. She listened intent
ly. It was SO still outside. Had he
moved from the door? Was he going
away? Had he gone?
ooh, Leslie!'' with little longing
cry Marion threw the door open. And
then
Dives, Love is your beggar now?
Will you dare throw him your crur bs?

Gem Peddlers OF Ceylon.

] was sitting one afternoon on the
beautiful wide veranda of the Gale
Face Hotel, Colombo, in Ceylon, says
a writer in Donahue's s Magazine. The
roar of the breakers pounding upon
the beach made pleasant music,
and in the translucent emerald brine
some laughing natives were splash
ing merrily. A light hand
touched my shoulder, and bare
footed Cingalese stood before me.
q Would you like to buy some
stones?" he asked, in his pleasant
voice.
These peddlers Of gems are very
numerous in Ceylon and threaten to
become nuisance to the traveller.
They are not allowed to enter the
hotels, and once saw one of them
actually beaten out of the Oriental in
Colombo. Hence it was that before
addressing me my Cingalese friend
glanced furtively up and down the long
yeranda to see that he was unobseryed
by the minions Of the hotel.
He took from beneath his blouse
bundle of white cloth, which he
opened displaying about o pint
Of rubies, carbuncles, noon
stones and cat's-eyes. AS had
nothing to do I looked through
them. after explaining to- the sable
merchant that I had no intention Of
buying. The collection mnst have
been worth many thousands OF dollars,
Judging by individual specimens, but
apart from his merchandise the bare
footed vendor. costume and oil. might
have been. assessed at about five
shillings.

The Wayside Pump.

ssShake hands says the wayside pump
Best Of friends on a summer day,
And sweetest talker you ever knew.
Although, no doubt, It's true
He speaks through his nose in careless way
That would make precisian jump
ssShake handsl" How his arm Of oak
Stretches out, as you draw a-nigh!
All he asks is an easy stroke,
To pour you oat, as smooth as smoke,
A sweeter nectar than you could buy.
What do you doubt it?-only try!
Take that cup from the rusty nail,
Hold it under the gurgling spout.
Well, how goes it, this Adams ale?-
Pump away; you can't pump him out!
Hearts like his weren't made TO fail.
Three full cups? All you need not tell
Whether you like him i'll or well.
SO he stands by the dusty way
Gods own landlord and seems to say:
-sDrink your I'LL there is naught to pay!
Thirsty horses, with nostrils wide,
Plunge their head in his messy trough,
Drink, and crop from the cool well-side
A bunch of grassland then amble OF.
And now the deep-chested oxen come,
And drain the trough at single draught.
Their great eyes glisten, though they are
dumb
And thank the pump for the nectar quaf1ed.
The smoking team meath the load OF hay
Lovingly turn their eyes that way
They too shall drink, for the axle swings,
And the outstretched noses kiss the cool,
Sweet stream from the spout that springs
Like mountain brook in messy pool.
The farmers dog with his lolling tongue
Laps and pants, till be laps his fill.
Then the creaking wheels from the rut are
swung,
And the fragrant load sways UP the hill.
Dear old wayside friend,
Doing good in thy time and place.
Full of cheer as a good mans face.
Overlooking with simple grace
OF giving whateer thou hast to spend,
Would that were as true man
As thou art pump, on thy humber plan!
Out of my hands kind deeds would go;
Out of my heart sweet love would flow;
Round me all nourished life would grow;
And ev'ry pilgrim with thirst opprest,
Would stop to bless me and to be blest.

her like an inferior. s.They fling me
their favors as Dives flung crumbs to

wounded. She had almost made up
her mind to return home, whether
asked to remain or not, at the close of
her months probation-when some
thing happened. Something frequent
iy does happen at critical points in
ones life.
The elm-shaded streets of the city of
New Haven looked forlornly deserted,
for it was vacation time at Yale, and
the boys had nearly all scattered to
their homes. 81 am coming on the

Chicago Wome en-.

After all is said that can be said
in favor of Chicago, it is not dcsir-
able place to live in. The mad gate
at which the people travel, the rush
and whirl and ccasclcSs struggle i'll
which they live, and frantic chase
for dimes and dollars all have left
their impress upon the peoplc-the
women as well as the men, and
speaking of the women, it may be
said that there are more positively
ugly females in Chicago than in any
other city in America. The Chicago
women have not only abnormally
large feet and undandsomc forms but
they are positively ugly in the face
and featurcs-many of them hitleous-
" so. There is something about the
features of the average Chicago wo-
man one does not expect to see or
want to see in the face of women,
and which is not seen in the face of
Southern women There is mark
cd absence of that womanIv mod
csty, that indcscribable feminine
charm of manner and expression of
features so characteristic of South
ern women. Instead there is sort
of astonv. mannish, sclf-assertive,
coarse, unblushing Hook that seems
peculiar to Chicago wonlan-even
among the best class of them. Lit
tie distinction is made between them
and the men, and indeed there seems
to be little real distinction except the
mere physical difference of sex. They
crowd their way on the cars and
among crowds Just as men do, and
they are accorded the same privileges
and courtesieS as the men receive,
scant enough in any ease, and no
more. Men smoks, and drink
and swear III their presence
without rcprimana or rebuke
and it seems to DC taken as matter

The Senate's Delay.

The delay of the Senate in passing
the Repeal Bill is thoroughly nausc-
atny. The Richmond Times, whose
editor is one ofthc most forcibc writer's
in the South, hits the nail on the head
when he says that the Senate is no
longer composed Of Giants, but in
their stead we have set of imbccicS
and dwarGs Shades of the Great
Calhoun. What would he think ii
he could see scnilc old onc-sided
man like Stewart, of Nevada, con-
trolling the dcStinics of a great
nation. He would be restless in his
grave. The Senate OF the United
States is lcgeneratin:, and has for
it's members a set of fossllitic remains
of rotten boroughs and delapltatcd
constituencies
They present disgusting Specta-
Gle to the American public, and pub
lie sentiment is mastering its strength,
and if the delay in passing the Re-
peal Bill is postponed much longer
then good bye to tho Democratic
party. Its representatives in the |.
s. Senate will merit the just con-
tempt of all Democrats, and they
should be buried so deep politically
that they would never rise again.
What is the matter with the Dem
ocratic Senators? DO they think
that because they are Senators, and
members of the most august body i'll
our federal composition that they
can shut themselves up, and be ut
tcrly deaf to the wishes of the public?
Ii they Ito they will find too soon
that they are reckoning without their
host.
The spectacle presented to the
American people is the most dis
gushing that has ever been brought
to their notice. They are weary
of waiting and if the Democratic
party fails to fulfill the pledges, for
which it WAS placed in power,
then a long farewell to all its great
ness.
What do the American people care
for the courtesy Of a set of money
bags, Representatives of ''rotten bor-
oughs" and prematurely dccaycd old
men. They want relief they want
the Sherman Law uncond itionally
repealed, and will take no excuse for
the failure to repeal it.
