MY SWEETHEART'S FACE.

There's beautiful garden know,
10 fair that twill dazzle the sight,
And the brightest ray Of n summers day
Would pale by the side OF It's light.
TT, not Garden Of Dreams"
That comes with the shadows Of night
And the silvery sheen Of the moons ue'er
seen
In this land Of perpetual light.
The countless flowers that bloom
In this beautiful garden Of mine,
Can never be matched in beauty,
by the flowers that bloom In thine.
Your garden il visible only
When the mellow sunlight dies;
And its beauties 80 bright are lost so

With the birth Of the morning skies
Ny garden with It's matehless gems,
Always remains with me:
In the dead If night or the morning light
'Tis the face nj my sweetheart see.
If she should walk through the Garden
Of Dreams
The reddest of roses 10 seek,
No matter how red, II would hang its
head
Al sight Of the rose In her check,
And the poor little violets, though ever -
blue.
When my sweetheart passes them by;

The Prosessor and tbe con,urer

Many years ago "the Wizard of the North" gave some performance in Edin- burgh, and Professor Blackie was one of the crowd who went to see them. As he was making his way in he felt something at his coat-tail, and, putting his hand into his pocket he found an egg. This he took out, and most adroit- ly transferred 1t to the pocket of a young man just in front of him-a per son as unlike himself as can well be imagined. Arrived In the hall he re- marked where the young man placed himself, and chose his own seat in a corner as remote as possible. When the time came for Wizard" Anderson to trouble" him for the egg, he arose, and explained that he had nothing of the sort in his pocket, but that he believed that gentleman" could produce it, pointing to the astonished young man, whose surprise, however, by no means equalled that of the wizard" ."-M.

Anecdote of Hawthorne.

A very good story relating to Ma thaniel Hawthorne is being told. At one time the famous author was the United stat6s consul at Liverpool. Dur ing this period there walked into his office one day a young man who de- sired assistance. He was Yankee, he said, and had left home to make a for tune in foreign fields, but had failed, and now, tired of the struggle in a strange land, and heartily homesick as we'll, he wanted the consul to provide him with money enough to pay his way back to America.
 The chief clerk regarding the lad with suspicion, and feeling that his story was him that Mr Hawthorne could not be seen, but the boy was persistent, and finally carried his point. The clerk yielded to his solicitation, and went in to MT. Hawthorne's private office.
 "There's boy out there who insists upon seeing you" he said, "IIe says he's an American. but I don't believe it."
 'T'n see him" said the consul, and walking out into the main office, he said, Well, my lad, what do you want?'
 The boy told his story.
 What part of America do you come from 7'
 United States"
 What state?"
 New Hampshire, sir"
 "What town?"
 Exeter"
 Hawthorne looked at the boy steadily for moment Then he said, Exeter, eh?"
 Yes, sir" replied the boy.
 "Who sold the best apples In your town?" asked Hawthorne.
 "Sl5lm- milk Folsom, sir, returned the boy
 He's all right" said Hawthorne, with smile to the clerk. Give him his passage. ."-Harper's Young People.

.ruSr ONE LITTLE ONE.

We supposed that Harvard hat
 "sworn off'' for good; that she would
 never again participate in the spor
 that had nothing in it for her but dis appointment, repentance and aches oi all kinds. But no and alasl Here she is, for all the world like a reformed
 man who yields to the temptation tc
 allow himself just one spree more
 Harvard will have another football
 spree but, with her former sad ex-
 perience in mind, she declares that 1t
 must be little one, and if it hurts
 her it will be the last.
 The programme appears to be: First, no game with Yale, that is, unless Yale will agree to break Harvard's bones, | backs and spirits in accordance with the latest book on Etiquette for Gen. | tIemen." Second no game except on college grounds, where there will be reminders of the Arts and Sciences. Third, no publicity. Good idea. The less publicity Harvard football-playing has the better, The publicity of her playing has been one of the most dis couraging and reprehensible features of it. Fourth, tickets at a reduced price. Another good idea. The reduced price will be all they will be worth
 Fifth, tickets sold only to undergrad uates and alumni. No passes to news paper reporters. So newspapers will have to depend for their reports on un- dergraduates and alumni. As many of them have long done that the evil will not be greatly increased. Sixth, gen eraI curtailment of sources of revenue in order to make extravaganza impos- sible. This is superf1uous. Sources of the preceding numbers. Seventh, two umpires, with all officials given power to remove a player at the first evil dence of foul tactics. Good again. With more officials fully equipped with power to remove there will of course be more removals. Eighth, changes in the rules that mean, in effect, very nearly a return to the style of play of two years ago. There is nothing that Harvard football needs more than re- turn, if it is to be played at all. Ninth, general conduct of all players and coaches with the fact firm in mind that this is the crucial test for football at Cambridge. Crucial test! Well, we'll, well! Hasn't Harvard football had crucial tests enough? No? We'll, it will have had when it has been played according to the above programme.
 Why does a man want to take to drink again when everybody thinks he has reformed? And why does Har- yard want to undertake another experi- ment In football when she has fully that football isn't good for her9

snmn ra1nons Puns.

The puns of sacred history are famil-
 far to every one. The fact that the foundation of the greatest institution of the world was accompanied by an un r.;stakable play upon words is in itself sufficiently remarkable; and remember ing this, it is interesting to bear in mind that the introduction of Christian ity to these islands was heralded by a perfect volley of puns. Possibly, in deed, Pope Gregory had in his mind the memorable passage about Peter and the rock when he revelled in his playful parallel between the Angles and the Angels, or when he likened Deira the native place of the English slaVes) 70 their deliverance fom wrath (de ira) which he was about to undertake; or when, gain, he Wittily observed that the name of their king Aelle was sug- gestive of Alleluia as song of praise. Here, in each instance, the pun was no mere frivolous jingle of words-it had distinct meaning, and opened up a llew and profounder train of thought.
 Among the Hebrews the pun was by no means considered as thing to be des pissed, and it is constantly to be met with in their literature. More than ore example might be drawn from the old test9ment itself Among our own writ CTS, too, it was once held in very high reEute. ShakspaEe's comedy positively bristlcs with it, and never, truly, was it handled with quainter delieacy 2f touch. When once the immortal bard started upon freak of this descrip-

sition that villains always have sweet smiles. The present writer has not
 known villains enough, out of novels,
 to be able to decide this question.
 According to It's proper nature it is
 as much the character of smile to be
 a pleasant thing as 1t is of sunshine to
 beautify all that it touches, and it Is
 only when some low temper of mind in
 fuses It's own nature into it, and gives
 it. as it were. an ugly twist, as in a
 sheer or malicious leer, that 1t can ever become unpleasing. It is beau
 tlful and beautifying thing, whether 1t fall on a handsome or a plain face. There is some ground for the theory
 that it is even more admirable in the latter than in the former case, since plain features may act as a foil to en- bance the more spiritual beauty As truth lies at the root of all excellence, a smile must be genuine to have any merit at all, and that is why con ventional one is so unattractive. When in company, some persons extend their lips in a horizontal line every time they speak, with mo more of the genuine smile than if the movement were made by mechanism The action of their lips is exactly like that of those card board figures with loose limbs, made to amuse children, which, as you pull a string, promptly shoot out their arms and legs. The lips smile by machinery; the more truth-telling eyes remain grave. When the conventional smile is frequent, it Is wearisome; if continu- ous, it well-nigh bores you to extinc- ton. There are smile which, though more or less continuous, are pleasing, but then they are the natural ones. We have seen faces which, from some un- fortunate mixture of ingredients in the resulting in a sense of hap piness, seem set in smiles, and remind us of the saying of the old chronicler about St. Columbia, "his face made all who saw him glad" This kind wearies you no more than the dancing sunshine among the trees on a crisp May morn ing. When seen on girls face, com bined with a twinkle in the eye and dimple in the cheek, it would conquer decentralization Spectator.

The Composer RespopsibIe.

The Kleine zeitung tells a tale oi Liszt, in which the master certainly go his quid pro quo. The Saint Eliza beth" was to be performed at Elsenach and the great man himself went to con. duct it at it's rehearsal. The orchestra was composed of members of the town band (Stadtpfeifer), and their playing did not correspond to the high demands of Liszt. After a few bars, Liszt tapp- ed angrily with his baton, and said Gentlemen, gentlemen, this is pure scarecrow music?' The Stadtpfeifer- Kapellmeister jumped up in a rage as hot as the masters and retorted, Herr Doctor, you cannot blame us for that we did not compose the musicw

Xarieties in Smiles

It would seem at first sight as if a smile were a smile, one and indivisible, and there was no more to say about it; but, as in the case of a few notes of a scale or the twenty-six letters of the alphabet, the varieties that can be pro- duced out of a limited agency are aston ishing. A score of them occur to the mind directly we begin to think of the subject, the same facial muscles being able to express a great number of men tai states and emotions, perhaps not with the same accuracy as spoken words, yet with adequate distinctness. Even in the smile which tries to ex- press a meaning which is the opposite to that in the mind of the smiler, it is generally pretty clear what the mean ing is; and we are as sharp as detec- tives in reading the hypocritical smile. the one of which Shakespeare speaks when he says man may smile and smile and be a villain." A friend of the writer we may remark in passing, even went beyond Shakespeare in maln- taining the connection between vilIainy and smiling, laying it down as propo-

carefully to the material upon which they are to be used Brocades are shown by the yard besprinkled with hand applied spangles and are delight to the eye till the price is learned, when they too often prove unattainable.
 Dressy bodices are still blllowy with chiffon, and the skirts are often left plain. Draperies of tulle, too, cling to their popularity and are still in great favor. A charming example of its use was an afternoon gown furnished with yoke that extended over the round of the shoulder of three times doubled tulle, through the flesh and outlines showed only faintly. Great puffs of velvet were put just below the shoul- ders and a wide bertha of tulle fell over these puffs, emphasizing the sloping eff feet of the sleeve This was a very handsome combination, and another equally dressy is shown in this picture, wherein the material is graylsh blue satin draped with flshnet tulle and trimmed with gilt and jet spangle pas sementerie. In covering the godet skirt with tulle, care is necessary to get the pleats of both in the same place. Two bands of embroidery on each side is the only other skirt ornamentation. The bodice has a. point in front and back and crossed over fronts. Two satin rosettes are placed on the shoulders and form the finishing touch for the short but wide sleeve puffs

It is quite the thing when a skirt is made of mar row goods to have all the seams follow ed by narrow gllttering application of gimps Many of these are made with the most exquisite delicacy, their Toun- dation not showing when the gimp is in place, the general effect being that of embroidery direct upon the material.

s1RA ARrslrus TN rHn pnrprr.

One of the conferences of the Metho-
 dist Episcopal Church has just discour-
 aged a candidate for orders from con
 tinuing his ministerial career because
 he is cross-eyed. This is an interesting
 piece of work. Of course it was not
 and will not be claimed that a cross
 eyed preacher of the gospel cannot be good man. He can be and the chances
 are that he will be. His eye of faith
 need not be out of line because his phy-
 sical eyes are. He may be able to look
 at things invisible as straight as any
 man. But 1t is true that cross-eyed
 man is not perfect man, and that his defect is of a rather exasperating kind.
 Therefore those whose duty and privi- lege 1t Is to pick out men to lead the
 way toward eternal life are not without some Justification in rejecting cross eyed man. It adds much to the im- presslveness of a preacher to be able
 to look straight at his congregation WiSH Pt SeiSHihS edI lI etiiu StR alB AI AiSe1F- enward when appealing to Heaven.
 And there are people who would be
 moved to ungodly mirth by the sight of a cross-eyed preacher trying to look earnestly at his congregation, or ap- pealingly heavenward. Then, too, there are people whose attention would be much detracted from the preaching by
 their efforts to guess what the cross eyed minister might be looking at. Min isters of the gospel should be as perfect as possible, physically, mentally and morally. And it is probably true that physical cross-eyedness would be more noticed in the pulpit than even mental or moral strabismus. So the conference was not without reason in it's action. Of course in pushing a cross-eyed man out of the path to the Methodist minis try it assumes quite a responsibility, for his ''call" may be just as genuine as the call of some candidates whose st1abismus is not visible. But the cross- eyed man need not despair, although he doubtless feels just now as if he were crushed by cruel fate in the shape of cruel conference. If it is laid upon him to preach, and if he knows that he can see straight with the eye of faith, he can get a chance to preach. We don't think the Congregationalists would exclude him from their ministry on account of his cross-eyedness, and we know the Salvation Army wouldn't. If he is cross-eyed enough to be real and drawing curiosity the Salvation 1 Army might make his welcome to one l of it's pulpits especially warm on account of the defect which has prevented him | from becoming a Methodist minister. He can preach if he feels that he must, |
