There was a vein of poetic appreciation
somewhere in the tumble of fun and SEN
timent, good humor and sarcasm that con-
stituted Frank Ashley as he lay lazily on
the sofa and playing with two or three
golden headed children, who were toddling
about the room

his sister, who sat near, you spoil these

AMY'S SITUATION.

A low. narrow room, the single window
Curtained with coarse white muslin, the
floor covered by scanty carpet-somehov
the sunshine brought out every element OF
poverty in the abode of the widow and hen
daughter
Put on a little more coal. Amy said
Mrs. Ardenham shudderingly, drawing q
shawl closer around her frail figure. 1T
IS bitterly coldl'
Amy obeyed silently, yet she could not
help noticing how nearly the little stock
o. fact =as exhausted and her heart sank
a little
Only little, though, for Amy was not
one of the responding kind. She was
sunshiny little creature, full of bright, in
fictitious hOpefulness, and somehow In that
squalid room she seemed like a fresh rose
blOssoming in a sandy desert. She was
very pretty, with brown, tender eyes,
small coral mouth and cheeks delicately
shaded, like the deep incarnadine of the
pomegranate flower, and she took ur
the newspaper you couldn't help noticing
what a white, taper little hand she had,
with pink tipped fingers and dimples al
every joint.
Mamma" she said suddenly, there's
an advertisement for q governess. I"
We'll, what of it?''
why, mamma, - hesitated Amy. 'syou
know we are very, very poor, and-and
should like very much to earn a little
money
Mrs. Ardenham had bowed her face up
on her hands, and in an instant Amy was
kneeling beside her.
Mamma, darling, don't cryl'
I did not mean to be so foolish, love,
but it all came back to me at that moment
the wealth and station we have lost, the
poverty to which we are reduced Oh,
Amy, it is too hardl''
But think, mamma" said Amy cheer
fully, chow delightful it will be for me to
make all my accomplishments help US
along in the world. May / try for this
situatiOng 1 should like it so much"
If you think it best, my child, - ac-
qu1esced Mrs. Ardenham resignedly.
t.Then I must lose no time, - said Amy
as she began to arrange her hair.
How do / look, mammal she laughed
when at length she was ready to depart
And Mrs. Ardenham' s admiring glance
brought the roses to her cheeks as she
tripped away, for she did look very pretty.
Darling Amyi' pondered the mother,
asher ligh sfootstep died away on the stairs
She is a perfect little sunbeam in the
darkness of my daily existence. Her heart
has never ached with the bitter pangs of
lifes sharpest trials
But Mrs. Ardenham was mistaken.
Amy had tasted the bitter cup-nay, she
had drunk it to the very dregsl

Three Views of Hilrs Nomination.


The news has been somewhat after
the order of sensation in political cir
cles, specially, as we'll as among all oh
servant men.
In the lobby last evening there was
not a little hubbub and chit-chat about
this somewhat startling denouement OF
the complicated situation in the Empire
State
Mr.. James H. Pou was free to say that
Mr. Hill no doubt had caught on to the
growing idea that the democrats still
had the hearts of the people and had it
more than ever.
Colonel Tate, standing near by emerged
from his wonted taciturnity long enough
to interject in his subdued but humorous
way that Mr. Hill would not be hasty to
give up his seat in the United States sen
ate until things looked sure for him, and
that if things Gid not look sure for him
he would hold his seat down in the sen
ate.
Mr., w. d Pruden, of Edenton, one of
the two ablest lawyers in the state, prob
ably, said that he did not at the moment
see just how, if this move meant greater
things for HID, North Carolina could
support him for president after both his
fight against the income tax and his vote
against the tariff bill which was one of
the hnl WarkS Of the nartv

gentleman would be elected governor of
