OUR BACK DOOR.

duss back Of the house. right under a tree,
Is a box that is full OF silver SAND
vi sand that was washed by i ~saltleSs sea
TIL it rivals the white OF a woman's hand;
And out OF that box OF sand arise
such wonderful sights as never before
We're spoken Of lip or seen OF eyes.
And all within sight OF our back door.
Lhere's an old pie-t;n, with numOerlcss holes,
a shovel, a rake, and an old tin can.
A block OF wood, and oh. dear souls.
In the midst of these is u nottingham;
lie Is bus!ly making pies and cakes.
And digging and sitting and playing store,
The which 4 hole in his stomach makes.
Which he brings TO Ill at our back door.
And all Of the little folk living near
Have heard OF this wonderful box OF sand.
so full OF treasures their hearts hold dear;
and IN come trooping the busy bInd.
TIL the SandS have forgotten the cruel sea
And the waves that dashed the sounding
shore.
Tor the food OF LAUGHTER. the bubblinC glee,
ripple and break by our back door.

was Cissie on the top of n silver-plated
machine, with the very newest and
most natty cut of an advanced woman's
bicycle costume, clipping Owe the dis
tance at a tremendous rate of speed.
She passed him with a whirr. giving
him 4 saucy nod and a salutation as
she went by. Jack gasped and said I'M
der his breath, well he would be some
thinged-a phrase that would not look
pretty on these pages, but it must not
be taken as typical OF Jacks converse
ton. He was knocked all in a heap by
the astonishing sight of Cissie in the
very latest lady's bicycle costume. The
next instant he put his muscle to the
wheel and sped after her, shouting:
stop a minute, Cissie. I want to
tell You something"
But the young woman never paid
the slightest attention. She bent over
the handle bars and raced down that
lane in a way to make pedestrians
heads swim. Jack shouted Intellectual

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Father Richard Henebry, an Irish
man, and a Maynooth graduate. has
been appointed professor of Kettle in
Bishop Keane's Catholic university at
Washington.
The Life and Advent union, a re-
ligious denomination, has twenty
eight societies and a membership of
LOIS. They worship in seven churches,
valued at SIC. 30.
The United Presbyterian church
proposes to reduce the membership of
its general assembly from 275 TO 2O4.
They want 4 less expensive and ore
manageable body.
Bishop Newman finds hat religion
has been greatly benefited by the hard
times, the Methodist church alone gain
ing over one hundred thousand mem
bers since the beginning of the finan-
cial depression.
There are seventeen different
branches of Methodism in this country,
zach having a distinctive name, its own
church property, its own organization,
its own places of worship and its own
body Of membership.
France proposes to dscentralize its
university. NJ. Poincarre. minister of
education, presents Il scheme to par
lament by which the academies" in
the principal towns will take the
name of universities, each to have its
separate revenues, while the state re-
ceives the fees for examinations and
degrees.
Cardinal Ruffo Scilla, who died
the other day, was head of the prince
ly family of Rufo di Calabria. His
death leaves only three Cardinals who
are lay princes in the sacred college.
Cardinal Hohenlohe, brother of the
German chancellor; Cardinal Bona
parte. grandson of Lucien, and senior
Bonaparte, and Cardinal Schonborn,
archbishop of Prague.
The annual statement of the Amer
lean Baptist Missionary union shows
that the total receipts for the year

was S203, 596; the appropriations We're
S5G4, 200. making n total of S767, 796.
The debt thus is $3.50, 95i, of which
amount S9,374 is from the Gordon Me-
mortal fund Of the total amount re-
ceived 1881, Os6 was from donations,
S77,O43 from legacies, and Sl09, 65S from

"A strong movement has developed
in the Scandinavian Lutheran church
in Minnesota for the adoption of En-
glish as the official language of the
nh,roh Arran fipn on6 for 4hn tnfol
abandonment of the use of the old
tongue. Many prominent members are
convinced that only by the adoption Of
the English language in the church
can the younger generation, which was
either born or brought up in this coun-
try, be kept within the Lutheran fold.
An organization has been formed by
the progressive ministers and elders to
secure the change.

fury all the books belonging to the
emperor were hidden on an island in
Lake Zuai, in southern Shoa. In De-
cember last Menelik sent a fleet of
RATS to the island, where the hidden
books were actually found. The ma
tives could not read them, but kept
them as religious objects. The manu-
scripts were left with them, but copies
were ordered for the new library.

quickly a thing is fixed when the time
is not wasted in foolish conversation.

going any farther. Cissie? If yOu are,

Mo- said Cissie, with a deep, quiv-
ering sigh, II am going home as quick
ly as 1 can. and then l will burn this
awful costume. I did not really want
to put it on, but all the girls in our
club have one"
"Tissie," said the young man, slip
ping his arm around the natty, tailor
made coat. The costume is all right,
and don't you be bluffed. 1t looks as
pretty as a picture and suits you down
to the ground. When a girl talks
kindly it's simply one of the nattiest
costumes that ever was constructed by
a tailor. but l say, Cissie, don't you
think we have misunderstood each
other for a long time now, and don't
you think hat a bicycle made for two
would require less exertion than a
couple OF single machiaes?"
Il don't know but it would" said
Cissie, looking up with a smile that
was all the sweeter because there was
just the slightest suspicion of a culver
at the of her pretty lips.
And then Jack, with 4 villainy that
surprised himself, taking advantage of
he lonely situation, stopped down
and kissed her, and Cissie. realizing
the futility of resistance, did not re-

The Crow a MOuser.

The bird was an old one, just knocked
down with a charge of shot and handed
over in a dazed condition to my infor-
mant. He recovered from his wounds,
but was always a very sedate bird. He
had the run of a large house and was
one day observed in a crOuching att
tude pressed tightly into the angle
formed by the wall and floor. He had
discovered hal the place was infested
by mice and was watching a c~revice.
The instant hat a mouse showed his
head the crow had him in his beak and
would kill him by striking him with
lightning rapidity two or three times
on the floor and then swallow him.
From that time mouse-catching was
the birds sole occupation and amuse-
ment, and he went about the house in
absolute silence and in the stealthy
manner OF 4 cat.-Fo-tnightly Review.
