Altoona, Kas
A Parndr-Anon.

Tell me. We winged winds. that through my
dwelling blow;
Do We not know some spot where smokers
do not go?
Some quiet pleasant dell. some valley in
the West,
Where. freed from pipes and smoke,
soul may find a rest?
The loud winds dwindled to a whisper low.
And sighed for pity as they answered
NO"
Tell me. thou ocean deep. whose pillows oft
1 see,
Knoweth thou some island home to which
our sex may flee,
Safe from tobacco guilds. and streams of
filthy juice.
Elected from mans mouth; oh! what vile
abuse!
The wild waves rolling in perpetual flow.
Stopped for while, and sighed to answer
mo"
mighty round,
Thou lookest down on earth, hast thou not
found
A spot yet undefled by those that use the
weed,
And where mankind the rules of neatness
ever heed,
Behind a cloud the moon withdrew her
face,
A voice in sadness answered mot a place"
Tell me. We spirits bright, that now are
lowering Ger,
Must we endure this curse forever, ever
more?
Oh. search beyond the earth, search re-
gfons of the best
Can We not find some place, where we, un-
smoked.
May find rest-Faith. Hope and Trust, best
boons 10 mortaIs given,
Waved their bright wings and whispered,
''Yes. in heaven"

Apple blossoms.

Oh, brown boughs. lovely boughs,
Which but the other day,
Pelted with sleet and scourged by snow,
Wind-tossed and beaten to and fro,
Huns in the orchard way.
And bent and creaked in dreary row,
Did any voice then whisper We
The beauteous thing that was to be?
Oh. bare boughs. patient boughs,
Bravely We bore. and well,
While April sobbed with dreary vail,
And Mays reluctant smile was pale,
And spring rehearsed her spell,
In vain. and found it's potence fail.
And birds and bee and flowers were fain
To turn to winters sleep again.
Oh. brave boughs. rewarded boughs,
Ye waited not in vain!
Today. I'm all the orchard rows
With white of snow and flush, of rose,
Laugh all your lengths again.
And borne on every breeze that blows
Such fragrant breaths stir overhead
As only happy hearts can shed.
oh. sweet boughs. happy boughs.
This is your carnival;
Fruit-time is good. but blossom-days
Are time of hope and time of praise;
And when the blossoms fall,
And. blown along the orchard ways,
Are lost and trodden in at last,
The sweetest of the year is past.
So dear boughs helpful boughs,
Clasp tight each petal fair,
Hold it on high till all snail see,
And sad hearts passing heavily
Read traced in scented air.
The lesson bravely learned by thee
That all good things soon or late,
Shall come to those who dare. to wait.

FAIRIES OF THE TENEMENTs.
Pretty Sidewalk Dancers Who Swing
to the Music of Hand Organs.

On Frankfort-st. the other day where
the big bridge is on one side of the
street and tenements face il two little
children We're dancing TO the tunes that
a hand organ man ground out. They
danced so beautifully that passersby
the tenements and saloons and shops,
and a crowd collected. What the little
girls danced was very like the caprice"
that is being taught in the dancing -acad-
emies this winter. They tripped forward
and kicked out the right leg, turned right
about face. tripped the other way and
flung out the left leg. Then they en-
braced and waltzed around and around
This formula they repeated again and
again. They were poor little girls and
perhaps a dozen years old, in shabby
short dresses, with hair that foated-
none too well combed-in the air as they
danced. The most intelligent men ap-
plauded them, and the most hardened
bummers from the saloons grinned with
pleasure. So ingenious and pretty was
the step, so light and fairylike were the
dancers, that the sight Of them in such
a place was to be remembered longer
than men would remember a dance at
splendid theater.
One of the spectators happened later
in the afternoon to be passing along
Nassau-st. when he heard a hand organ
and saw the same two little girls dane
luk dllu TIE SAINT SHiiAlCu anu al ISL
ically graceful fashion. Again he stopped
to watch and admire them, and this time
he noticed queerer thing than he had
observed before. AS was the case in
Frankfort-st., the children were dancing
to the merry tune of Daisy" but pres
emily the organ grinder clicked a stop.
or lever, on the side of his organ and
began to play The Marseillaise," which,
as everyone knows, is a rather slow,
heroic, martial tune. the very last one
to which 10 dance a gaVotte. Neverthe-
less the little girls kept on with their
pretty Waiting and marching and coun-
ter marching, their dainty kicking and
their whirla bouts. The spectator walked
away wondering.
Later still, at supper time, this same
spectator, now on Broadway, saw an or
gan grinder and two little girls dancing
to his music in the same way in front
of old St Pauls church. The spectator
now had a companion with him.
Come said he. II want you to see
these children dance. 1 saw two this
afternoon. and it was wonderful how
prettily they danced"
Come along" said the companion.
Here's our car. Hop aboard. Where
have you been all winter? Those girls
were pretty and interesting when they
began. but now it's getting tiresome.
That organ grinder hires them TO go
around with him and dance in that way.
It's a beggar's trick, and, moreover, it's
shame that some one does not see
that those little girls are kept at home
at SchOOl.-N. Y. Sun.

DisIikcs of Authors.

It is a curious thing how those who
write famous books or create well known
mons de plume develop an aversion TO
them as time goes on. Edward Bellamy,
for example, absolutely shudders when
one talks of Looking Backward in his
presence. There is no Surer way to Of
fend Bret Harte than TO refer to him
as the author of THE Heather Chinee.'
VIII Carleton cannot imagine why people
should associate lover the Hills TO the
Poor House so prominently with his
name.
Mrs. Burnett dislikes too much mention
of Little Lord Fauntleroy" in her pres
ence, but courts any praise Of her story
of "Vagabondia' with which so few, in
comparison with those who know her
famous Juvenile story, have any knOwl-
edge. Charles Herbe Clarke has a strong
aversion to any association of his once
famous nom de plume of Max Adler
with his name.
Charles G.. Leland's ire is aroused when
one speaks of Hans Breitmann" as his
best piece of work. z. p. Roe never
could understand why people bought
Opening of a Chestnut Burr in prefer
ence to his later and what he deemed
his better books. Eugene Field feels that
he has written fifty poems that are su-
perior to Little Boy Blue" John Hays
feelings are hurt when one introduces
him at a dinner, as did chairman at
a literary supper recently, as the author
of Little Brooches. London T1t-BltS.

The rich Mendicants of France.

Mendicancy would appear to be almost
as profitable in the outlying suburbs of
Paris as in the city itself, where beggars
sometimes die leaving substantial legacies
behind them for their next Of kin. Victor
Hayet, aged forty-nine, was supposed 70
be one Of the most destitute and aim
worthy inhabitants of Joinville-le-Pont,
where he dwelt in a howell by night and
begged on the roads by day. For the
past week he had disappeared from sight,
and the police, having been communi-
Gated with. went TO the hut, burst open
the door, as there was no answer to their
knocks, and found Hayet dead on the
floor inside. His body showed no marks
