The Maiden's Choice.

The Maiden's Choice.
Two youths once lived in a country town,
And one was giant fair,
With Saxon vikings golden crown
And blacksmith muscles smooth and brown
When he made his right arm bare.
The other youth was Of dapper size.
So slender and short was he
That he found small favor In maidens' eyes,
And the giant boasted in merry wise,
II could lay him across my knee"
These twain both courted the village belle.
But short was the race they runl
At the giants feet the maiden fell,
And the little mon, though he pleaded well,
Naught more than her pity won.
They marched away to the wars one day,
In haste for the battles van,
And the people cheered when the giant gay
Strobe stoutly past for the distant fray,
And they smiled at the little man.
But the earliest ball by foeman sped
One drop from the war black skies
Passed safely over the pygmy's head,
And the giant, who stood behind, fell dead,
With bullet between his eyes.
Then the little man swore, though his sight was
dim,
And he bounded ahead Of them all,
And the whole great army followed him
Till he leapt like devil, little and slim,
First man DER the battery wall.
And he planted the flag Of his country there
While the routed army ran,
And the legions roared as it floated fair
On the dusky waves Of sulphurous air,
"Three cheers for the little mani"
Oh, don't know, and cannot say
What the giant might have done.
But I'm sure the maiden will weep alway
For her lover shot in the first of the fray
And dead ere his fame was won.
For war is a field Of chance, you know.
Let him dodge the bullets who can.
But love is a lrden where fancies blow,
And the form of giant makes larger show
Than the soul Of a little man!
George Horton.

A Touch of the Heart.
He had nursed the hope tenderly that
some day he might win her, but in these
later days hope had almost retired from &C.

True, she still permitted his attentions,
but there was that in her manner which
told him far more plainly than words that

On this point even he had doubts at times.
Yet in it all there were often CLEANS OF
sunshine through the riffs in the clouds,
and he depended on them to revivify the
fading buds Of his hope.
He knew that nobody knows what wom-
an will do when nobody is expecting it.
She doesn't even know herself.
So it was that one day his utter devotion
to her asserted itself, and he asked her to
be his wife.

manner, II had scarcely expected this at

Don't say that" he interrupted earnest
" and lovingly. Don't say that, dearest.
You cannot be very plain; you are too beau
tiful; say it some other way, dearest"
Her face filled with astonishment, which
faded away as dissolving view, and in its
stead came that look which makes lover
swear he's looking in an angels face come
down from heaven to greet him with a
smile.-Detroit Free Press.
