Robbing it of the gold that it might win.
Staining it with the tears that selfish sin

Ihose souls which hope-not bitterness

Thou foul and loathsome serpent, in whose

Turks that too subtle poison which brings
To more than half the worlds true hopes
and love
And wounds the wing that seeks pure
truth above,
Why dost thy dreadful presence so de-
The hearts wild joy of living; and annoy
With mists of painful fears the longing
OF them who yearn for clear and cloudless
light?
Art thou the spawn of evil Eden bore?
And there got power to soak with human
gore
This fair and wond'rous world from age to

Filling with misery each mystic page,
Her history writes and turns from year

Whilst heavenly harmonies enchant the

Thee also thriving at it's shadow'd foot.
Oh! that we could like honest-hearted

An oath, alas. not now the taliSman

Which. as a slime, oerspreads the gold

Whereon the characters of Faith once

Like Poverty Chat knows thee but too

Suspicion, must thou ever with us dwell?
Is it not possible to kill thy seed
And thus stamp out thy cold and noxious

Or must the world forever roll along,
Hearing thy damned hiss instead of song,
Knowing thy glossy coils conceal within,
The secret source of concentrated sin?
Who of us all can tell? The Futures veil
Hides from our view its own mysterious

One hope alone lies in each human heart.

A VICTIM OF APRIL 1ST.
He Will Never Again Try to Play a
Fool Joke on His Wife.

I've cooled off enough now" said the
head of a wealthy firm, ''to tell you
about a First t-of-April joke that
played on my wife.
After going down to the office 1 put
my watch in one of the drawers Of my
desk, called the janitor. and told him
to go up to the house and ask my wife
il hadn't left the ticker on the bureau
in my room. In half an hour he was
back to say that she would pay no at
tention to him unless he had a note
from me- I was pleased with this, for
it showed that she was not to be caught
by any swindler. So wrote her note
saying that 1 did not have my watch on
me, and urging her to send it if she
could find it.
I'VE wanted the janitor a dozen times
and there was some pretty strong Ian
guage used because of his absence. but
it was nearly o'clock before he re-
turned Carefully done up in cotton
and in a neat box he had a watch,
chain and charm that 1 would have
sworn were mine. He smiled mysteri-
ously when l scolded him for staying
so long, but did not seem at all troub-
led. He doubtless had my wife's back
ing.
I'm a puzzled frame of mind I looked
into the desk drawer. There was my
jewelry. 1 took it out, and the contents
Of my two hands were apparently
Identical. 1 broke out in a cold sweat
and hurried to the jewelers.. Yes, he
had sold my wife a watch, chain and
charm such as 1 had bought two years
before. Mine had been stolen, she said
and she was anxious to replace them
without my knowledge. The jeweler
would not take them back, for sales of
that kind were few and far between
in these times. What could l do? My
wife looks innocent and has asked no
questions. Neither have 1. But 1 have
$500 worth of stuff you can buy cheap.

Mr.. Belts did not heed him, for. look
ing from window of the car just op-
posite he beheld the face which he had
longed to see.
There's Amanda, SIR" he cried, "let
me get TO her, quick
Certainly, my dear Mr.. Belts" quoth
the Director, but take this with you.
She may be interested in it,
The much-tried suitor glanced at the
slip as he dashed from the magnate's
presence. He gave a shout of joy as he
read:

Il beg your pardon said a voice be-
hind the hero of the day.
Belts turned to face an elderly gen
tleman, who, standing hat in hand,
forced a card upon him.
Il am a Director of this railroad, sir"
the newcomer went ON. s'These ruff
hans here held me prisoner for ten
hours, sir; captured my car, ran off
with my engine, and forced me to eat
with their leaders, sir In defeating
them you have done great service to
me personally, as well as to our COM
pany. Will you come with me to my
car, sir? / shall be most happy to en-
tertain YOU
Mr.. Belts was developing fast Again
he evolved an idea. Here was a friend
who was evidently a man of influence.
Thirty minutes later the Director was
in possession of such Iacts in his deliv-
erer's story as the narrator cared to re-
veal.
Let me think this over for a few
minutes, Mr.. Belts" he said His guest
remembered Amanda's letter. and i'm
proved the opportunity to read it. Like
most of the lady's communications, it
was brief.
PA has been here to see me and
aunt" she wrote. He is just as set as
ever about the money, but he says if
you can show it when get back he will
say yes to us right off. And he has as
good as promised to take you into his
grocery, for 1 tell him he is getting old.
and he knows it. will be home on the
Friday morning train, even if it makes
me leave here in the middle of the
night. I hate travelling like an owl,
but your Amanda wants to see her Ally
just as quick as she can''
Now, SIR" said the Director, coming
out Of his meditation, II will pledge
myself that your doctors will pursue
you no further. I feel delicacy about
offering you pecuniary reward"
IF had $424," volunteered Mr. Belts
II should be the happiest man in the
world

book from travelling desk. A rumble

that's twenty-four, and 4OO-that's $424
altogether If he can show me any
time this year that he's got $424 of his
own, and got it honest, I'll say, Go
ahead and get married as quick as you

Roberts stalked out of the room, and
out of the house. Amanda left the
task of clearing the table to her moth
er and led the young man to the porch.
Belts seemed dazed by the ultimatum
served upon him.
''What'd he mean?" he asked, feebly.
"'Twas plain enough" answered
Amanda. Somehow I felt he was 60
ing to have one of his tantrums. Oh,
Ally, if he wasn't my father and I
wasn't his daughter, I'd have made
him sick, 1 would"
But he said you were going away?"
$50 1 am-for two or three weeks.
I'm going to see my aunt I've told you
about SO often.''
Then what am I going to do?"
Come, come, Ally" said the girl
briskly. IF you really care for me
you won't give up SO easily. While
I'm away you'll think and think and
think up ways to get that money. You
have some in bank, and I'll try and bor-
row some of my aunt. Well make it
up somehow-I'm sure we will"
But I've got less than 5000" Ally
objected. 'Oh, Mandy, 1 wish your
father was dead''
Il don't" said Amanda, decisively
He's pretty good father, and you'll
like him when you get to know him
better. But he is so set when he once
says a thing! Ally, some way or 9TH
er we must raise that money. Let's
try TO find out how to do 1t. Well beat

great sum, but the mirror did its work.
The bargain was struck, and it was ar
ranged that the following evening the
outfit should be sent to his lodgings
where the money would be paid to the
messenger.
Messrs Banning and Smith agreed
the next morning that something must
have happened to Betsy. His melan-
choly mood had given place to one OF
ecstasy. He strutted around the store
expanded his chest, strove to twist the
ends of his mustache, and laughed
Historically at every jest attempted by
his mates.
'Just listen to that cackle," growleG
Banning to his ally. Never heard him
goin' on like that before. It's worse
than that dead-dog look he's had for
| the last two weeks. I'll bet you, old
man, Betsy's gone looney."
Cracked, sure responded Smith.
Better tell the Old Man.
The "Old Man." otherwise the pro-
prietor of THE Metropolitan" having
returned from a long vacation a few
days before, had had an opportunity
to behold his third clerk in the depths
of despair, and now he marked the
sudden change in Belts demeanor with
little less wonder than that felt by
Banning and Smith He was a kindly
man, and he had felt a good deal of
pity for the young fellow Therefore
the tale told him by his two older en-
ployes, in the little den he called his
private office fell upon ears prepared
to believe it,
Where's Belts now?" he asked
Down in the store room," said Ban
ming. That gave us the chance to talk
with you without his thinking anything
was up. Mighty suspicious those
cranks are, you know
Step into the back yard and look
through the grating" Smith suggest
ed. See what he's doing down there. u
The three followed the plan, the
clerks permitting their employer to get
the best view Of the basement All
of them saw wen enough, however.
Belts, his back to them and without a
suspicion that he was observed, was in
dulging in war dance In his right
hand he erasped a piece of barrel
hoop, with which substitute for a
sword he was cutting energetically at a
heap of empty boxes.
Boys, this is indeed serious" said
the "Old Man." when he was again in
his office. Poor Belts is clearly un-
balanced. Have you, either of you, any
idea what caused this?'
We'll, SIR" Banning answered re-
luctantly, "our company rejected him
when he wanted to join and I'm
afraid he took it to heart He talks
about other troubles, but that's the
only one 1 know anything about"
1T explains his condition." said the
proprietor. Now, Banning, you must
find pretexts to keep Belts down stairs
and out of sight of customers. I'll
see my physician this afternoon, and
arrange to have him visit the poor boy
| tonight. He has no relatives, so far as
l know, and we shall have to act on
our own responsibility"
