Though he was Industrious, nothing

The little girl for whom he had taken

handsome woman and looked with favor
upon the tall, bronzed young fellow,
who in turn wore her image in his heart
like one of the medals of saints and ma

She gained her fathers consent to

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
PATS PARADISE.

For years the rebellion dragged wearily on.
Each day saw the passing of men,
And souls that the reveille wakened at
dawn
1t never could waken again.
So dragged all the sorry misfortunes of
war,
So long was the carnage and strife.
The things that at first men were wont to
abhor
became the vocatlons of life.
And 80 at the last when the fighting was
done
And the battle-scarred banners were
furled,
The men who had lived by the sword and
the gun
Must find a new task in the world.
1t happened one morn, as they waited
around,
To get their discharges, a few
or the peace-released soldiers began to

Some thought it were best to do this or do

And each gave a voice to his views.
Till some one. half joking, inquired of
Pat"
What sphere he intended to choose
Now be it remembered that all through the
war
Pat never found half enough sleep,
And the reveille call he had learned to alb
hor
With hate that was lasting and deep.
And Pat studied awhile, ere he answered,
and said:
Faith, there's wan thing know mighty
well,
If only had ten thousand dollars ahead
I'd build me place for to dwell.
AN I'd have me a bed, an a good wan, you

Trifing Expense.

IriiinS Expense.
There need be no ugly, uncomfort-
able corner in any room when such
a cozy seat as the one illustrated can
be constructed. A few boards and some
pretty denim is all that is necessary.
Why not construct such a corner when
the house is cleaned? ~ broad seat

more than Ii inches from the floor. 1t

carved or decorated board painted to
harmonic with the other woodwork,
or curtain or valance may be shirred

tacks and will look equally as pretty.
The seat, as can he seen, does not
reach back into the corner and the
board forming the back extends about
two feet or more above the seat. The
top makes an excellent place for the
display of a handsome vase or orna-

will flee to one of the further islands,
he continued, and there we will be
married. Only 1 fear the evil which
hangs over the boat
$50 much the prying neighbors tell.
This was last night. This morning be-
fore setting sail we met the evil one at
the beach,"
"How he glared, father; was afraid"
whispered the boy.
Anyone fears the jettatura."
"Did you hear what he was muttering,
father?"
II was too busy with our boat"
"He would look out over the water
and say: There was a storm last night
"a storm-the boat is gone-gone for
good And then he laughed and shook
his fist over the water"
"a terrible man! Did he say any
thing about them"
mo; only: The boat is lost-it
won't come back-it's gone for good +"
81 fear it is So" remarked the old
man.
81 think they are happy" returned
the boy.
"It cannot be. But here we are. Some
day you will work as am"
"And bring up pretty shells?"
Bring up the fruit of the waters for
the market. What have we here?
Something very heavy. 1t must be a
bit of wreckage."
"Then some boat may have gone down
here"
Perhaps; it was terrible storm"
But now it is so bright"
"A treacherous sea, as you will find
when you have followed it as long as
/ have-Santa MGria!"
He gave cry of awe. The boy went
over and gazed with wonder at the pale,
beautiful face of a young woman, whose
dark hair floated on the waves which
rocked the figure to and fro, tenderly,
caressingly; the same waves had whis-
pered so softly at her feet the night
before, as she stood listening to her
lovers commands, and had invited
them, like Palinurus, to sly with
winged sails" The pallor of her coun-
tenance was like marble that was flaw
less, and she seemed sleeping, so peace
full was the expression; the cnlmness
of her features were the more marked
because the dark hair that stirred rest
lessly around her. r
"The 'sirena'-a lovely siren," he
whispered.
"a SIREN" said the man. "It is she
who fed last night. Upon your knees,
boy, and pray"
The boy dropped upon his knees and
seemed the beautiful island, as a mist
arose from the sea, partly obscuring the
outlines, until they seemed vague and un-
real. Unreached the earthly isle, but the
soul had fled to one of Pindar's Islands
of the blessed dead, by ocean breezes
blown, where flowers of gold burn, some
on the land from radiant trees, and some
fed by the glancing waves, with which
the good may twine their brows with
necklaces."-Detroit Free Press.

LINCOLN AND THE POLICEMAN
Tho President Gave the Omcer a Word
of Advice.

Tho President Gave the omcer Word
of Advice.
One night during the civil war, while
the loyal part of the city of Washington
was greatly excited by rumors, there
was free fight near the old National
theater. An officer, seeing what was
going on, raised his voice and com
manded peace. The fighting stopped for
a moment; then one of the leaders, a
notorious bully, pushed back the Off
Ger and ordered him to begone, or he
would whip him. The officer advanced
upon the bully, and said: Il arrest
you" At the word the man struck a
fearful blow at the officers face.
The officer parried the blow, and the
next instant struck the fellow under the
chin and knocked him senseless. His
neck seemed to be broken, and a surgeon
who was hastily called, pronounced the
case critical one, and ordered the man
taken to hospital. There the physi-
clans said that there was conclusion OF
the brain, and that the man would die.
The policeman was in great distress
of mind, and after seeing that every
thing possible had been done for the in
jured man, he betooll himself 20 the
white house. He was on terms of in

How to Make Charming SILK Case and

A convenient contrivance to hold em-
broidery scissors at ones side is made
like the accompanying illustration. One
yard and half of ribbon, somewhat
less than an inch wide, about two dozen
of the brass rings, safety pin and a
patent hook are all the necessary ma
terials. Finish the top with a bow,
under which is sewed the pin as indi-
Gated by the stitch, for fastening to
the belt, run the ribbon through the
rings, crossing them and putting the
ribbon in the space between; sew tho
hook on the lower end, slip through the
handles of the scissors, bring it back and
fasten it to the next lowest ring on the
under side. If desired the rings may be
crocheted with silk to match the rib
bon, and the more rings used the firmer
will be the holder. Some scissors are
always disappearing, but with this at
tachment they are always at hand.
These two cuts show simple and
pretty gift for handy fingers to make,

One Occasion In HIS Lie When the CAL

Personal bravery was one of the most
conspicuous attributes of the character
of Gen. Sheridan, but when it was said
of him in a newspaper eulogium that
"he knew no fear" Little Phil" is said
to have laughed and taken exception
to the statement, complimentary though
it might be. When asked to give some
experience to show that he had felt
fear at some time in his life, the gen.
eral told story. He had been enjoying
many an evening with the lady of his
choice, but one particular evening he
made up his mind he must know his
fate before his call drew to close. It
was n warm summer evening, and they
sat and talked long of moonlight, music,
love and all the subjects that lovers
talk about. 1t grew late. Pater-

pears, and though it was by this time
two o'clock in the morning, he woke the
president and requested him to come
into his Office.
Mr.. Lincoln listened to the officers
story with great interest. Then he
asked few questions, and finally said:

but these are times of war, and great
many men deserve killing. The man, ac-
cording to your story, is one of them; so

was affected, and answered him accord

while he spoke.

Sleep" he said. But let me give you n
piece of advice: hereafter, when you
have occasion to strike man, don't hit
him with your fist. Strike him with a
club, or a crowbar, or something that
won't kill him."
The officer went home, but not to
sleep, says Mr.. Lamon, from whose
"Recollections" we have extracted the
story. The tragedy had produced too
great an effect upon him. But he never
forgot Mr.. Lincoln's kindness, kind
ness of which he must have had many
previous experiences, or he would hardly
have called the president of the United
States out of bed in the middle OF the
night to make him "a confidant and
