Daisies AND EUTTERC UPS.

Y, Z. kRAS.
One summer day, when Ia nothing to do
And the winds were asleep, and the clouds
The great white clouds in the great blue sky
| thought 10 go out in the meadow, and lie
Down with the daisies and buttercuDS sweet
Close so could hear their little hearts beat.
And talked to the flowers, and they talked TO
me,
tFor no one was there but the big sun to see)
And ! said little flowers wish that knew
How it is that you live on the sun and the dew;
And where do you come frOm-tcll me now;
And how do you get here-telI me just how.
And the tiniCSt, liSplng, whispering sound
That ever you heard came u from the ground.
And they said, tucked up snugly, and nestled
Our covcrId warm of wind woven snow,
We peep and listen, all winter long,
For the first spring day and the blue birds
song.
Then, while apple blooms whiten, and peach
blooms fall.
And the roses grow gay on the garden wall,
We hell the grass cover the dear brown earth,
And our work Is our worship-our meaning,
our mirth.'
But just why do you come little flowers p l
said.
And then buttercup hung her head
That's what l wanted to know one day
Long ago she said, ''One early May.
And fretted and wished till grew almost
white;
Then God cent me word, on a sunbeam bright,
That my cup was too little to hold his thought
But to be content with knowing
That he had wished for buttercup
just where was growing
And daisies, tell me story, too,
Why you come each veal, 80 fresh and new,
As ii God had finished you just today"
Long ago they said, land far away,
Before we were born on the earth ut all,
The winterd grown selfish and strong since
fall,
And the wind, that knows all rs it passes by,
Saw the tree tops We're writing ali over the sky,
And told the tale in the rain clouds ear,
And il paled and whitened to snow in fear.
For winter was cruel, and jealous, you see
When he heard that spring soon in his place
would be
So he sprinked the meadows, thick, with the
snow,
To kill all the buds and blossoms below
But the sun was sorry-hc loved the spring
And love, you know, can do anything.
So he put little warm heart of gold
In the center of each little snow flake cold,
And the meadow of daisies was iull-for the
spring
For love, you know. can do anything.
So when Gods new thought comes each year,
and thrills
The sunset tringeS and the hills,
He lets us tell over this dear truth again
That loves ever the realest thing here among
men"

TAKING NICKELs OUT OF FER.

y well-meaning young woman was
covered with confusion in a Boston
trolley car the other day.
She had heard of a pretty little trick
that gentleman, whom she knows,
loves to practice upon poor children
that of taking Il nickel out Of the
child'S hair and presenting it to the
amazed youpgster-aud she thought
she saw an excellent opportunity.
A shabbily-dressed dirty little girl
sat next to her, holding the hand OF
her mother, who was even shabbier
and dirtier than the child.
The lady took q nickel from her
purse, 'palmedo it, and she said, as
she seized one of the little girls strag-
Cling locks
Mercy me. what have you got in
your hairI''
The child burst out crying, aud the
mother jerked her liercely away.
There amt nothing the matter
with her hair snapped the woman
angrily. Her hairs all right; you
mind your own business
The philanthropist paled.
You don't understand me-" she
gasped.
lit was trick of mine"
I'VE don want none o yer tricks. ;
TO take this co out of her hair
and give it to her. Here, little girl
The child reached for the nickel but
the mother pushed it away.
I'VE amt beggars," she said, as her
eyes glowered with rage. MY man
makes ten dollars a week, and she's
got better clothes than these at home.
You go away
The well-meaning young woman
stopped the car and got out, with the
eyes of every other passenger burning
her through and through.

unconciously still clutching- and the
drawing which was found in the
carriage.
The maniac WAS secured for the
night, and /, 700 upset 10 continue
my journey at once, sent II telegram
TO Mr.. Macdonald. and gratefully &c
cepted the shelter offered me by the
station-master' ; wifi.
Il heard afterwards that the maniac
from whose terrible designs had been
so mercifuliy preserved had escaped
from an asylum III London, and had
been in the train from Euston, but in
a different carriage. He had been
hopelessIY insane for many years. bat
had latterly been so much less violent
that his keepers had relaxed their
watchfulress of him, and SO he had
escaped.
at was known that the poor fellow
(who was by birth and education Il
gentleman had lost his reason through
some tragedy in connection with Il
sister who had been very beautiful,
and, singularlv enough, had had hair
exactly the color of mine, but | was
never able to learn any Of the particu-
lars.
THE story of my adventure, Of
course, became publicly known, and
through it L was introduced to Mr.. G.
s., then oue Of the first English
artists. With the generosity cfa true
genius and great man he procured
for me advantages of Instruction, etc,
such as | could never otherwise have
obtained, and opened up to me the
way to the career Of au artist. So
you see, owe great deal indirectly
to my terrible adventure in the scotch
