MAUD MULLER.

Maud Muller, on a summers day,
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
Beneath her blue cap glowed a wealth
Or large red freckles and first-rate health.
Singing, she rode, and her merry glee
Frightened the sparrow from his tree.
But when she was several miles from town,
Upon the hilI-slope, coasting down,
The sweet song died, and a vague unrest
And a sort of terror filled her breast
A fear that she hardly dared to own,
For what If her wheel should strike a stone!
The Judge scorched swiftly down the road
Just then she heard his tire explode!
He carried his wheel into the shade
OF the apple trees. to await the maid,
And asked her If she would kindly loan
Her pump to him, as he'd lost his own.
She left her wheel with a sprightly jump,
And in less than n jiffy produced her pump.
And she blushed as she gave it, looking down
AT her feet, once hid by a trailing gown.
Then said the Judge, as he pumped away,
"'Tis very fine weather we're having to-
day"
He spoke of the grass and flowers and trees
OF t~wenty-mile runs and centuries;
And Maud forgot that no trailing gown
Was over her boomers hanging down.
But the tire was fixed, alack-a-dayi
The Judge and rode away.
Mau Muller looked and sighed, "Ah me!
That 1 the Judges bride might bel
OF the cOstliest make and the finest steel.
"And ia give one to ma of the same design,
So that she'd cease to borrow mine"
The Judge ook back, as he climbed the
hill.
And saw Maud Muller standing still.
"A prettier face and n form more fair
I've seldom gazed at. l declare!
"Would she were mine, and 1 to-day
Could make her put those boomers awayr'
But he thought of his sisters, proud ana
cold,
And he shuddered to think how they would
scold
IL ne SnOulu, one OF THESE afternoons,
Come home with q bride in pantaloons!
He married a wife of richest DOVER,
Who had never succumbed to the boomers
power;
Yet, oft while watching the smoke wreaths
curl,
He thought of hat freckled bIoomer girl;
or the way she stood there, p~igeon-toed,
While he was pumping beside the road.
She married q man who clerked in q store,
And many children played round the door.
And then her bloomers brought her joy!
She cut them Town for her Oldest boy.
But still of the Judge she often thought,
And sighed DER the loss that her boomers
wrought.
Or wondered If wearing them was a sind
And then confesse5: ut might nave been.'
Alas for the Judge! Alas for maid.
Dreams were their only stock in trade.
For OF all wise words of tongue or pen
The wtsest are these: "Leave pants for menr'
All, Well! For us all hope stin remains
For the bloomer girl and the man of brains,
And in the hereafter bloomers may
Be not allowed TO block the way.

A Noted Corn Trade.

-
Ex-Governor Morgan, of New York,
now a man of millions, was once a poor
working boy like many of you. But he
was a boy who kept his eyes sharp, open,
and looked out well for his employers
interest, no less than his own. The little
incident l will relate of him can be
relied upon as quite authentic. as a friend
of mine lately asked him about it when
in his Office IN New York, and he
acknowledged the fact.
1t was a great day with him when his
uncle, in whose store he worked, sent
him down to New York to buy a fpw
goods and have a little holiday. If he
had not been a trnsty boy in small things
you may be sure he would never have
received such a commission. He was,
among other things, to buy some corn,
which was his most important purchase.
In due time the old stage-coach came
numbering in, and Edwin was warmly
greeted by his employer, who, despite his
confidence in the youth, could not but
feel thai it was a rather important and
p~erilous journey. Now it would be made
with as little concern as one would feel in
stepping on one end of a ferry. boat and
stepping off at the other.
How about the corn, Edwin p, was
the next question.
Tit price was extremely low and the
old gentleman was afraid it could not be
good, but samples pulled out of one
pocket and then out of another quite
pleased and satisfied him.
"How much did you getP ?"
1.-TWO oargoes."
The old merchant was completely ''set
back" Two or three hundred bushels
had always been a large purchase before
and he could not help exclaiming:
1.-TWO cargoesl Why, Edwin, where
can we store them, or where can we ever
sell them ?"
II have already sold all that you don't
want at an advance. l showed samples
to A and B as l came down and thew
want two hundred bushels, and G and d
will take three hundred, and l could have
sold three cargoes If l had them. l
, stepped into stores as l came along and
made sales"
Such a bold stroke in trade was a new
thing in that small estab lishment. But
when the thing was figured out and the
fine profits realized it was very satisfy ing,
if a little out of the beaten track.
The next morning Edwin came down
to sweep as usual, but his uncle remarked
that somebody else could do that bust
ness: "a young man 80 good at the corn
trade might be more profitably employed.
l think he could be made of use as a
partner In the firm"
SO the youth, still under age, became a
partner and started on an honorable
career of success, which could hardly be
possible In any but our favored land.
His noble geBerOsity has kept pace with
his great wealth, aud made his name as
beloved and respected as it is famous.

Wise Words.

Whatever may be said of a sweetheart
she can't be too good to be true.
1t never does any good to talk religion
with a snap like that of a steel trap.
1t is easy to discourage a man who
realizes that he is not entitled to any,
thing.
The woman who marries a man to
reform hin is a noble example of wasted
effort.
When yon call a fellow a gentleman
and he gets his back up it's a sign that
you are lying.
When you need a friend don't pick ont
a man whose dog won't follow him.
The man who never told a lie hadn't
better spoil his record by saying 80.
