in gold. Ny thoughts wandered back
/ to that day in June. and the words OF

such glorious dream. 1 was dream

that the world was ringing with your

Il Interrupted her.

See, my story has been accepted, and
the editor begs that l will send him

She did not speak, but the proud
look in her eyes told me what her
thoughts were. Then she saw the lilies
and she kissed me for them
Robin covered his face with his
hands. and a sob shook his fra me. He
rose from his chair and walked round
the room. Then he stopped, and, with
his face averted, he fms he'd his story
In less than a week she was dead
She died in my arms. l thought she
was better, but 1t was not to be- She
was too good to live. We were too
happy for this world Heaven would
have had no meaning could we have
lived together longer. And when her
asst breath was gone l laid her back
gently ON the bed and covered her ia ce

and cursed-cursed my fate and every

Now, perhaps, you understand my
fall. Why work. 1 thought, when

eyes and the blood which ran from HIS

What has become of the old Virginia
fiddler. whose services used to be in in
cessant demand at this season Of the
year, and who was known and greeted
by all the young people for miles
around?
OF old. there could be no Christmas
in the country without him. He was as
indispensable as the children's stock
ings, the eggnogg bowl. the roasted
shoat, the mince pie or the stuffed tur-
key. He was the important function
ary at every dance, and called out the
figures in an Interchangeable voice,
which grew fiercer and fiercer as he
warmed UP to his work. Has our old
friend disappeared? Is his fiddle era ck-
ed and his bow unstrung? Has he been
unable to withstand the invasion of his
territory by the piano and the piano
agent? We fear so. We hear OF him
very seldom now; whereas in the times
agone. at Christmas his name was on
every tongue, and his bow was a scep-
ter welded over many willing subjects.
Happily for him that he found suitabl
eulogists before his type was extinct.
DIR. George W. Ragby, that great hu-
morist and player upon the heart strings
of men, in numerous sketches. and the
founder Of this paper. in his delightful,
realistic "reminiscences, have both de-
scribed and immortalized the old Vlr-
ginia fiddler And well they did; for
he is becoming as rare as the buffalo
upon the Western prairies. But well
he served his day and generation be-
fore he laid down de fiddle and de

Important Pane1A,

Queen Victoria has given SO many
proofs of the possession of sterling vir-
tues that no one ever expects her to
swerve from the path approved by her
Judgment and her conscience. When
she first became queen. however the
world had yet to learn how determined
the young girl ruler could be.
Lord Melbourne, her prime minister.
is said to have declared that he would
rather have ten kings to manage than
one queen.
On one occasion he arrived at Wind
sor late on Saturday night, and inform
ed his youthful sovereign that he had
brought for her inspection some papers
Of Importance. But" said he, " as
they must be gone into at length. 1 will
not trouble your Majesty with them to-
night. but will request your attention
TO them tomorrow morning"
Tomorrow morning." replied the
Queen. Tomorrow Is Sunday, my
lord
But business Of state, please your
Majesty"
Must be attended to. I know re
piled the Queen, ''and as. of course
you could not get down earlier tonight.
l will, if these papers are of such vital
Importance, attend to them after we
come from church tomorrow"
In the morning the royal party wert
to church. and the noble statesman was
not absent. Much To his surprise, the
sermon was on the duties of the Sab
bath.
How did your lordship like the ser
mony" asked the Queen.
Very much, your Majesty" he re-
piled.
Il will not conceal from you" said
the Queen, "that last night I sent the
clergyman the text from which to
preach. l hope We shall all be the bet
ter for his words"
1t Is presumable that they were bet
ter, for the day passed, and NO word
was heard Of the papers. At night.
when her Majesty was about to with
draw. she said: Tomorrow morning,
my lord, at any hour you please, we
will go into those papers-at O'Clock
If you like"
But the papers had suddenly grown
less pressing. for the Prime Minister
found that 8 o'clock would be quite
early enough to attend to them.

Queer California Soil.

The oil resources Of California are be-
Ing carefully investigated by the State
Mining Bureau, which looks for q great
development some day Of the oil indus
try along the slopes of the coast range
from San Francisco southwark almost
to the Mexican border line. The recent
extensive explorations made in the
southern part Of the State by W. l..
Watts Of the Mining Bureau formed
the subject Of an interesting popular
lecture given recently before the Acad-
emy Of Science
The discourse was made additionally
entertaining by a stereOpticon display
Of views Of the Oil wells, bituminous
deposits and petroleum-bearing regions
visited by the lecturer.
One Of the views showed an asphalt
um flow In which were sticks and
stones and bones of animals. Some
times. the lecturer explained, cattle
lie down in the asphaltum when it Is
warm; they never get up again. At 9TH
er times, on warm days. cows attempt
to walk through the soft black stuff,
but they stay in it until they are res
cued or until they die.-San Francisco

How many prayers by each little white
bed,
How many tears for her babes has she
shed,
How many kisses for each curly head?
Nobody knows but mother.
MARY Morrison, in Housekeeper.
