Across the thropg OF faces that be had

met in the abolished years two mem
cries haunted him implacably-that Of
heaven, and a1so-how strange indeed !!
that of Marie, the poor child whom
he had met on that first evening, and
who now, doubtless, had long been dead.
And it was the women who resembled
Marie that he preferred above the others.
Thus, amid noise and commotion,
Cyriam existed for century after CEN
tnry. Then, one day, weary of every
thing, envying mankind, whose ineyita-
BILE escape is death (Which yet may be
advanced by self killing, he drew apart
from the abodes of civilized men, walk
ing for long time in the solitude of
the fields.
At twilight, as on the evening of long
ago, he sat him down at the foot of a
hill, in corner of deserted road.
Suddenly be saw poor, barefoot
child coming toward him, leading
rich flock through the deepening gloom.
With painting breath he watched her as
she drew nigh, and he murmured:
ooh, earth Oh, earth accursed Yet
will I pardon thee if this poor child be
by miracle the child of long ago, the
first one met, whose memory-why, I
know not-dwells ever in my dream.
For thee have I suffered, oh, earth! I
judged Of men too hardly, though I
knew them not Now, more guilty my
self than all mankind together, absolve
them. Have mercy upon them But the
child comes near. Who art thou, little
one?"
GA poor, kinless child, who have ever
been very unhappy. And you, OH.
prince Of heaven, beautiful angel-for-
such by your wings know you to bel
come to supplicate you to take me with
you-up yonder, whittier you go.''
Cyriam started. Behind him, in very
truth, he felt the quivering Of his wings
divine God, because he was penitent,
recalled him to the light. Yet he spake
again:
$50 it is thou, Marie, the first whom
met-here find thee again, MY sister,
after a thousand yearsr'
"No," said the child, guileless Of
heart. ST know not what you mean.
Yet hapless little girls are of all time in
this world. Misery is their name, and
am one Of them"
And Cyriam, the pardoned, Cyriam,
the charitable, opening his wide wings,
quivering with rapture, took the child
up in his arms and bore her aloft into,
the eternal glory reconquered. From.

SKIRTS AND WRAPS.

Velvet Jackets Trimmed With 4Jet-Fur
and Dotted Taffeta.
The tendency toward trimmed skirts Is
becoming more and moro pronounced.
Sometimes the trimming is only double
fold at the sides; sometimes it is panels;
sometimes lengthwise applications of pas
sementerie or embroidery. Double rows of
buttons are often placed down the side, or
scarfs of silk or ribbon are fastened in at
the belt with loops, rosettes and large
bows set on at intervals. Occasionally the

HORACE AND HIS GARDEN.
The Poet Loved the Country, Yet Nope
When He Was There.

The Poet Loved the Country, Yet MOped
When He Was There.
All his life Horace had wished for
a stream and coppice, and in the Sa
bine valley he found all three. To take
a nap after his brief meal on the grass
by the stream was to him that exquisite
combination Of mental and physical ease
which man is foolish to despise because
it is an enjoyment within the reach
of every other animal as we'll as Of him
self. Horace clearly considered both his
Sabine farm and his villa at Iibur
healthier than the capital, especially in
the autumn, "when all fathers and
mothers turn pale with fear for their
children" It may be doubted if Rome
was so exempt from malarial fever at
that time as it is generally thought to
have been. Once, when he had promised
M@cenas to be away only five days, he
remained at Thur through all the month
of August, and he begs his "dear
friend" if he would have him keep
we'll, to let him stay yet longer, and
even pass the winter out of Rome by the
seaside Che was probably thinking of
Tarentum).
Yet was not there a spice Of truth in
the taunt which his servant Davus adj
dressed to the poet, that when he had
been too long in the country he moped
to death? We are almost invited to sus
pect that there Was; the town was, after
all, the life of his life. One may be sure,
by the bye, that the worthy Davus HIM
self hated seclusion as much as any Ital-
ian savant does today. Thur he may
have endured; there he could gossip
with the servants of other villas, but at
the Sabine farm with whom could he
have due chiacchiere except with the
steward-anotherm martyr? By immortal
izing the amusing criticism of Davus,
Horace shows that he was the first to OBJ
serve that "no man was hero to his
valet. Contemporary Review.

But the Passengers Discovered That Fact
In Roundabout Way.
Unjust be about ten years since was
returning to this country from New
York on board one of the Anchor line
boats. We left quite early in the morn
ing, and we're steaming down the bay
in high hopes of pleasant trip. We
soon got into a thick fog, and after
passing Sandy Hook at about quarter
speed the ship ran aground. The ma
jority Of the passengers, however, knew
nothing of our plight, for the propeller
kept on churning up the water in fran
tic efforts to get the vessel off the mud,
and the fog was SO dense that very few
people noticed we were not making
Roadway.
The captain dispatched his first officer.
to Sandy Hook to telegraph the position
of affairs to the agents, but as the en-
gines were still kept going no one SUES
pected that anything unusual had oc-
cured.
Presently the boat returned, but no
questions were asked, and no one see1n-
ed to have the idea that there was any
need to ask them
Two Or three hours passed, and an
ocean tug came alongside out Of the fog.
Newsboys came Oh board to- sell their
papers, and did good business. ''Ex-
trar! Eztrar!'' was their cry, and these
"extrars'' contained en- the front page
full and graphic account of the strand
ing of the very liner on which thsy

"Great Scott!' exclaimed one man
who had invested i'll paper. "Adon't
these papers know how to lie?, Here's
one saying now that our ship has run
aground!'
$50 we are, and likely te,reraain, -
answered an officer, upon which the
passenger ran to the side of the vessel
and looked over in order to- convince
himself.

SLEEP, BABY, SLEEP.

Over the sea lady came,
Sleep. sleep, sweetly sleep. 7.
Night was the beautiful lady's name,
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
Her eyes like two stars shone soft and bright,
Her voice like the breeze's murmur light,
Kind and gentle and lovely night;
Sleep, baby sleep.
How tender her love for each little one,
Sleep, sleep, sweetly sleep.
She softly called when the day was done,
sSleep, sleep, sleep.
"Dear little children" heard her say,
ssYou must be tired now. Stop your play
And come with me to dreamland away.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
"Shut your eyes if you want to go,
Sleep, Sleep sweetly sleep.
Safe in my arms I'll carry you SO,
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
Over the ocean flying fast
Earth with its cloud and storm is past.
Here is the beautiful land at last;
Sleep, baby, sleep. !,
"Such wonderful, happy land,
Sleep, sleep, sweetly sleep.
Children laughing on every hand,
Sleep, sleep, sleep.
Flowers more gay than our beauties of spring:
Music more full than our birds can sing,
Sunshine and fairies and-every bright thing.

A NOVEL INDUSTRY.
How Ono Man Makes Living by Buying
Canadian Money.

oGsAAoAAAAAA
All through that part of the country
(northern Ohio) there is discount of 20
cents on every Canadian dollar. Of
course Canadian money is not as much
in circulation as is the legal tender Of
the United States, but there was enough
for his purpose. A man advertised in all
surrounding country towns that he
would redeem Canadian money for 90
cents on the dollar. 1t was some time,
before he had any results from this ad-,
vertising. 1t was like the man who,
stood on London bridge at midnight and
offered to give away sovereigns. People
laughed at him. The farmers were shy
They thought it was swindling game
Of some kind and left him severely
alone. One day man came i'll with SO
Canadian money. It was Of all shapes
and sizes from the cent piece that
looks like dime to dollar bill drawn
on the Bank Of Montreal. If he had
spent it, he could have secured $S worth
Of goods for it, My man gave him nine
big silver dollars in United States mon
ey for it. Before the week was out he
had exchanged United States dollars for
$3.50 worth of Canadian money. This
would give him profit Of $50 wherever
Canada money is as good as our own.
From that time On the business grad
ually increased, until today he averages
about $3.50 week. Instead of having
the farmers come to him he goes to
them and buys their accumulated saw
ings Of Canada coin. They are all his
customers and know him well in the five
years they have done business together.

your business in case it becomes gener-
ally known:" I asked. "No," said he,
''you see, it requires comparatively
large amount Of money as starting
capital. Then have to have men in the
frontier cities who will give me United
States money for my Canada currency.
I generally take a trip twice year to
Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and Buffalo,
where make these exchanges. All this
requires years Of preparation, and no
outsider could step in and make ex-
changes with my patrons, as they have
all the money they can handle now.

A VOICE OF BYGoNE DAYS.

Could but hear the voice once more
That thrilled my heart in days of yore,
Its sweet, pathetic, tender power
Would soothe my spirits darkest hour.
Before those notes of joy or pain,
The warbling bird would cease it's strain ;
And hov'ring lightly on the wing,
Enraptured, hear it's rival sing.
Oh, wondrous power. sweet gift divinei
For which my wearied soul doth pine;
Oh, may hear it's sounds on high,
Mid angels voices in the sky.

An immense amount of ribbon is now

This is particularly pretty trimming for

fashionable, the ribbon ruffles being chosen

Napoleon Assumes the Iron Crown.

Napoleon Assumes the Iron Crown.
Late in March, with suit compris-
ing the chief courtiers, Napoleon, began
his progress toward Milan. The emperor
of Austria-for to this title Francis was
reduced by the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of Ger
many-was told in gracious personal
letter that with Russian troops at Corfu
aud English soldiers at Malta the two
crowns of France and Italy could not be
kept apart, except nominally, but that
"this situation would cease the moment
both these islands were evacuated. !"
The attention Of all Europe was mo-
mentarily diverted from Boulogne to
the spectacle at Milan. On May 26 the
emperor of the French was crowned
king Of Italy in the cathedral by his
own hand, and with the iron crown of
Lombardy, a diadem considered the
most precious on earth, for it was said
to be made from the nails which pierced
the Saviour's feet and hands. It was
with perceptible defiance that as he set
the emblem on his head he uttered the
traditional words, "God hath given 1t
to me; let him beware who touches it. -

splendor anything yet seen in Napoleon's
career. Professor W. M. Sloane's 'Life

morning while coupling cars at Get

on freight No. IS, and was making
his trip from Harrisburg. 1t is not
known how he was killed, but the
supposition is that he was caught be-
tween the dead heads as his chest on
left side was crushed just over his
heart, and his head was badly cut,
which was probably done by the fall.

mains without an inquest. The
