DISAPPOINTED.

The true artist has an instinct for
perfection, and as a necessary conse-
quence is never fully satisfied with his
own work. Sometimes, however, he
comes nearer to satisfying himself
than to meeting the taste of his pa
irons, especially if he is a painter of
portraits.
A New York artist, who was in
Charleston on a pleasure trip, painted
the portrait of a little darby. She
was encouraged to sit patiently by
having seen beautiful picture which
the same artist had made of the fair
haired daughter of one of the proud
est houses in Charleston, in whose SER
vice the young darky's mother was
laundress.
Patiently she posed, and when the
portrait was completed the artist
brought it round to show it to it's
original. Here you are, Janey," he
said.
Janey looked at her counterfeit
presentment and burst intoshrieks and
howls. She ran from the room to
pour her sorrows into sympathizing
ears.

ly and then blew a cloud of smoke in
to the air.
Are you trying to get a corner in
bosh, Jenny?n
She disliked having her name abbre-
waited and remained silent. Her heart
was very heavy. She decided, after a
time, to try another tack. Looking
at him meekly, she asked:
"Adolphe, my darling, what does it
mean when it says that stock has
been watered too much -
II don't know what it is, my dear,
but almost any stock is glad to get in
out of the wet at present"
This was not especially lucid, but
Genevieve felt that her husband was
thawing a little.
And what is a gilt-edged security,
darling?" she continued.
He smiled-ay, actually smiled.
You are, my dear"
This was delightful. He had not
paid her compliment in many days.
What do you mean - she asked, at
a venture.
''Well, my dear, you've improved
greatly since l took you from par"
His smile came again and his eyes
rested on her kindly.
She blushed like school girl
Could it be that she had really broken
the ice that had surrounded him so
long? But no; again he was lost in
thought and seemed to watch an I'M
steady market through clouds of
smoke. If she spoke again she might
lose in a moment the advantage she
had seemed to gain. She sat silent for
a while. Finally she said, almost in a
whisper:
''Adolphe, isn't this a good time to
buy stocks -
He flushed and exclaimed:
1.-The best | ever knew But, con-
found it nobody's got any ready
a little cash, but might just as well
sigh for the moon as for a few thous
and dollars
He lit fresh cigar and his face
seemed to grow paler and more hag
gard as the castles that he could not
build on credit floated away in smoke.
She went over to him and, seating
herself on his lap, put her arms around
his neck
I've got a little money saved up
from what you've given me in the last
few years, Adolphe. It's only few
thousands, but perhaps it will help
you out
He laid down his cigar, and took her
face in his hands.
"How did you do it, dear? A few
thousands Why, we've only been
married ten years. How could you
save all that out of the allowance ]
gave you ~
Il don't know, darling. Perhaps
perhaps know more about meat mar
kets than stock markets, more about
beefsteaks than bulls and bears. You
will forgive me for it, won't you,
dear?'
Forgive you, Genevieve? Here,
let lie kiss you again. You've saved
us from ruin, dear. You are the most
wonderful woman in the world"
And you aren't going to the club

arm in arm into the library.

BE CAREFUL WITH COLT

1t is singular fact that the more
the horse is hurt by the pressure of
any part of his tackling the greater
will be his resistance to it. A horse
with "a sore mouth will pull hard
er on the bit. If a young horse
is tied with a broad leather strao
around his neck, so that when he pulls
violently back it will restrain him eff
fectually without hurting him, he will
then not pull a second time but if
he is tied with a chain that cuts into
his neck he will generally pull at it
again and again, and not infreuuently
until he kills himself. A horse will
stand in stall and batter his legs all
to pieces with kicking and the more
it hurts the more he will kick.
If horse takes to kicking in the
shafts and cuts his legs at each kick
with the splinters or iron of the car
riage, he will kick ON as long as there
is a splinter. He will not however.
kick long with bundle of straw
swinging behind him. If bride is
taken off a young horse quietly, SO
that the bit comes out of his mouth
easily, it will not be long before he
will assist in taking it off; but if he is
hurt by the operation he will throw
his head to one side or jerk back every
time the bride is removed. There
should not be the slightest hitch about
taking the bit from the mouth of a
colt. By the process many a colt has
been ruined.

WHAT HE LIKED.

since | visited Matilda in Boston, I've
had my doubts about it. / hadn't

saws to he, Now, farther, we're goin'
to have a musical, land | do hope you'll

"'Of course l SHALL says l. You

old Scotch songs you used to sing, and
how I'm always ready to jine in when

"'Weil, this will be the best music

my mouth watered to hear it.

ups and downs in it. She was master
smart; anybody could see that, but
somehow | didn't fancy that kind of
singin'. 1t made ME uneasy. When
she was climbin' up to her high notes
| wondered if she'd ever get there;
and when she dropped down again, |
wanted to say: Now you've got

again!
well, pretty soon Matilda came
round to me and whispered, Father,
how d'you like it?''

It's a little too much like frosted cake

She laughed, and in a minute L
heard her sayin' to one of the per-
formers, My fathers little old fash
toned, you see, and would you mind?
What do you suppose happened
then? Why that woman that sung
the trills and MARBLES stood up, and,
without any piano playin' at all,sung
'Ye Banks and Braes' and John An

songs I've loved since was boy, and
when she got through the tears were
streamin' down my cheeks.

CONVENIENT FISHING.

In Yellowstone lake an expert an
gler can catch trout and boil it with
out taking the fish off of his hook
Wild as the statement seems, it is
absolutely correct, and have done it
myself more than once. There are in
the lake several small basins cohtain-
ing boiling springs, although the
water in the lake itself is almost icy
cold. Trout abound in every part of
the lake, and a man can by standing
on the rocky ledge around one of the
hot springs catch trout with line
and transfer the fish, hook in mouth,
to the hot spring behind him. 1t will
die in few seconds and be fairly we'll
boiled in half hour. The number of
anglers who have actually caught and
boiled fish in this almost miraculous
manner may not be very large, but
there are at least 100 reliable citizens
with whom am acquainted who are
prepared to make affidavit that they
have done so.

THE Mosrs4CRED sPorINCHINA

Mount Omei is to a Chinese the
most sacred and exalted spot in the
Empire, the center around which
clusters his veneration and beliefs, the
Mecca of the pious Buddhist. The
road to the summit is thronged with
affairs and shrines, and the extreme
top of the peak possesses the most re-
markable temples in China, and has
been for ages the goal of millions of
pilgrims, who, vending up those steep
mountain pathways, have sought
among the clouds nearer way to the
Nirvana or eternal calm.
Mount Omei is center of natural
and artificial wonders, the like of
which may not be found elsewhere
upon the globe. The world is large,
and in regions like Switzerland and
Alaska nature has been taxed to the
uttermoSt to produce Il combination OF
natural objects of surprising beauty
and grandeur Here, however, near
the borders of Chinese civilization, we
find a region of unequaled sublimity
"a combination of lofty mountains, of
swift rivers, of valleys of wondrous
fertility Then, also, of the works of
man there are many-Such as thouS-
ands of brine wells, great silk cul-
ture (of which it is the center), a white

LIGHT.

BY WILLIAM PITT PALMER.
From the quickened womb of the primal gloom
The sun rolled bleak and bare,
Till wove for him q vest for his Ethlop breast
OF the threads of my golden hair:
And when the broad tent OF the armament
Arose on its airy bars,
pencilled the hue of the matchless blue
And Spangled it around the stars.
painted the flowers of Eden bowers,
And their leaves of living green,
And mine were the dyes on the siness eyes
OF Edens virgin queen;
And when the tiend's art on the trustful heart
Had fastened its mortal spell,
In the silvery sphere of the first-born tear,
To the trembling earth l fell.
When the waves that burst DER a world accurs-
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the ark's lone few, the tried and true,
Came forth amongst the dead.
With the wondrous CLEANS OF my bridal beams
bade their terrors cease,
As l wrote on the roll of the storms dark scroll
Gods covenant of Peace.
Like pail at rest on senseless breast,
Nights funeral shadow slept
When shepherd SWANS on Bethlehem's plains
Their lowly vigils kept
Then | flashed on their sight the heralds bright
Of Heavens redeeming plan,
As they chanted the morn of a Saviour born
Joy, joy, to the outcast man!
Equal favor I show to the lofty and low,
On the just and unjust descend;
Fen the blind, whose vain spheres roll In dark
ness and tears,
Feel my smile, the best smile of friend;
Nay, the flower of the waste by my love is EN-
braced
As the rose in the garden OF kings,
At the crystals bier of the worm l appear,
And 10 the gay butterfly wings.
The desolate morn, like mourner forlorn,
Conceals all the pride of her charms,
Till bid the bright hours chase the night from
her bowers
And lead the young day to her arms
And when the gay rover seeks Eve for his lover
And sinks to her balmy repoSe.
| wrap the soft rest by the Zephyr-fanned est,
In curtains of amber and rose!
From my sentinel sleep by the night-dread deep
gaze with unSlumbering eyes.
When the cynoSure star of the mariner
Is blotted from out the sky.
And guided by me through the merciless sea.
Though sped by the hurricanes wings,

To the haven home safely he brings.

The birds in their chambers of green,
And mountain and plain glow with beauty

THE LARK,S SURPRISING SONG.

Rev. J. g. Wood, in an article on 1.-THE
Wonders of the Spring." says that the
volume of sound produced by the sky
lark is most wonderful. The lark
ascends until it looks no larger than a
nudge, and can with difficulty be seen
by the unaided eye, and yet every
note will be clearly audible to persons
who are fully half mile from the
nest over which the bird utters its
song. Moreover, it never ceases to
sing for u moment, a feat which seems
wonderful to us human beings, who
find that a song of six or seven min
utes in length, though interspersed
with rests and pauses, is more than
trying. Even practiced speaker,
though he can pause at the end of
each sentence, finds the applause of
the audience a very welcome relief
Moreover, the singer and speaker need
to use no eXertion save exercising their
voices. Yet the bird will pour out
continuous song of nearly twenty
minutes in length, and all the time has
to support itself ON the air by a con-
slant use of its WINGS
