HEARTSEASE.


While DER my life still hung the morning
star,
Dreamy and soft In tender-lighted skies
While care and sorrow held themselves
afar,
And no sad mist Of tears had dimm'd my
eyes:
saw Loves roses blowing
With scent and color glowing,
And so I wished for them with longing
signs.
The brightest hung so high and held aloit
Their crimson faces, passionately bright;
The gay, rich, golden ones escaped me oft.
And hedged with sharpest thorns the
lofty white;
! From all my eager pleading set7
They turned away, unheeding:
Among Loves roses none were mine OF
right.
Yet, Of sweet things, those roses seemed
most sweet
And most desirable until q voice,
Soft as sad music, said "Lol at thy feet
A little flower shall make thy heart re.
joice."
And so, the voice obeying,
Isaw in beauty straying
wealth Of Heartsease, waiting for my
choice.
Great purple pansies, each with snowy
heart,
And golden ones, with eyes OF deepest
blue;
Some "freaked with jet," some pure white
ones apart,
Bnt all so sweet and fresh with morning
dew
could not bear to lose them,
could not help to choose them,
For sweet Content sat singing whore they
grew.
So, now, Loves roses shake their scented
leaves. I..
But tempt mo not to their enchanted
quest;
gather Heartseaso set in dowy leaves
And am content-for me II Is the best.
Be glad II, sweet and glowing,
You find Loves roses blowing
sing through life with Heartsease at my
breast.
Mary A. Barr, in Plttsburs Commercial
Gazette.

II l thought the chances against me,
no matter how innocent were, 1
would decline the honor"
Ihad just dropped in for a friendly
chat and smoke with my friend, Rich
ard Boynton, an old lawyer well
known for an extensive clientele
among staid and quiet old Knicker-
booker families. Turning to him, I
said, as lighted cigar: what say
you, Dick?"
'In theory I agree with our young
friend; in practice with you. I'll
give 'you case in point, if you like.
ut was about ten years ago,
when l was aroused, about 2 o'clock
in the morning by a messenger from a
police court, the bearer Of hastily
scrubbed note from an old client of
mine. He was a childless widower,
much interested in Egyptology, and
consequently spent much of his time
in Egypt. Being rich, he could afford
this expensive hobby.

"Dear Boynton-They have brought

two of side whiskers.
"'Ah, Boynton, get me out of this

"'There is some mistake, I said to
the policeman.
"'How?' asked he.
"'Why, this is not Mr.. Rowley.
This is not the gentleman came to

that some satisfactory bargain has been made
