UNANSWERED PRAYERS.

Like some schoolmaster, kind in being
 stern, Who hears the children crying OCT their
 slates And calling "HeIp me, master" yet helps
 not, Since in his silence and refusal lies Their self-deE>lopment, so God abides Unheeding many prayers. He is not deaf To any cry sent up from earnest hearts; He hears and strengthens when He must
 deny. He sees us weeping over life's hard sums, But, should He dry our tears and give the
 key, What would it profit us when school were
 done And not one lesson mastered!
 What a world Were this if ali our prayers were granted! Not in famed Pandora's box were such vast ills As lie in human hearts. Should our de-
 sires, Voiced one by one, in prayer ascend to AUQ COue DdCk dB GNcnl5 oA0RSN " NN~
 wish, What chaos would result!
 In my fierce youth I sighed out breath enough to move fleet yoicing wild prayers 10 heaven for fam cied boOns, Which were denied, and that denial bends My knee to prayers of gratitude each day Of my maturer life. Yet from those
 prayers I rose alway regirded for the strife And conscious of new strength. Pray on,
 sad hearts That which thou pleadest for may not be
 given, But in the lofty altitude where souls Who supplicate Gods grace are lifted,
 there Thou shalt find help to bear thy future
 lot Which is not elsewhere found. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in the Cosmo- pOlitan.

trousers, gazing up vacantly at the bronze statue of the martyr Nathan Hale
 What soft snap that feller's got, anyhow" he presently remarked, 'standin' there all day long, wid the trees a shadin' him, nothin' to do, no cop to make him move on, nothin' to eat, nothin' to drink'-there the chain of thought suddenly 'nothin' to drink! I'd be a statue myself if it wasn't for that. What a snap it would be-"
 And then speculation ripened into ac- ton, John proceeded over to the base of the pedestal. "I'll try it" he said. My other engagements can wait" A fat broker mopping the precipitation from his chubby cheeks hurried along up Broadway. He glanced from right to left and his eyes rested complacently on the leafy greenery of the park. Sud- denly he halted.
 Shades or Ape Lincoln" he gasped, awe-stricken. On the bronze pedestal whence Hale, the martyr, had looked down over the passing show was perch ed f1gure-a figure grotesQue in its simplicity. Nothing more strange, in- deed, than poor, addle-headed John Doe, his arms folded heroically across his red undershirt. And yet, he was attracting the rapt attention of a throng. So he played the statue faith fully, until a park policeman yanked him down by the foot and took him off to the station.

A Question of Chintz.

Sims Reeves, the English tenor. has
 just been recalled to the public mind in
 singular fashion; for, at the age of "A,
 he has emerged from his retirement, and gone again upon the stage.
 In the entire history of musical art there Is no other case of so long and so successful a career as his. Neverthe- less the kindliest critics agree that he should not have invited comparison of the voice he has with the voice he had.
 Reeves was always the most eccen- tric and perverse of singers. Innumera- ble stories are told of his audacity in breaking enga gements. In 1863 Col. MapleS0n had announced him to sing in London, and on the first day of the | engagement received a telegram from Reeves, who was on his way to town, expressing his surprise that he had been advertised for that evening when the engagement was for the following one.
 The manager at once hurried to Reeves house, and learned that dinner had been ordered for half-past z. He told the butler that the time had been changed, and that the meal must be served at midnight instead. He then went to meet the tenor, who was ac- companied by his wife, at the Huston railway station.
 While Mrs. Reeves. busted herself about the luggage Col Mapleson got thes tenor to himself, and explained his difficulty. But 1t is quite impossi- ble for me to sing this evening"" was the answer. T have ordered my dinner at home"
 Col. Mapleson explained that he had postponed dinner for few hours, and that light meal was being prepared for him In the dressing-room of the theater. The suddenness of the propo- sition seemed to amuse the tenor He laughed, and actually gave half prom ise that if his wife consented, he would sing. At thlt moment his wife ap- peared, and the matter was explained ! to her.
 Its all nonsense" she exclaimed; | "MaplesOn Is willing to ruin you by forcing yet to sing"
 She thea went on to ask how any one could possibly think of such a thing. l when tb.e chintz and crumb cloth of his dresSin groom had not been arranged.
 It Mld always been her custom to hang the walls with new chintz, and place fresh damask cloth on the floor, on the nights when her husband sang, and on this occasion the sacred hang lngs. had gone to the wash. That set ae6l the matter, and Reeves did not sing thAt night.
