THE SILVER LINING.

High in the distant sapphire way
A cloud and u sunbeam met one day;
Met MS. indeed. might you and !,
BY chance, II We rode through the azure sky.
The cloud wore II saddened, II gloomy face.
Quoth the sunbeam. all In "a CULVER Of grace,
why frown you on y0ur daily wayI
Why look so sad when life's SO gayt"
The somber cloud to this quest replied,
ats easy for you to be satisfied;
I'm born Of rain, you're born OF the sun,
needs must weep till the world Is done"
''Tis true" said the sunbeam" that you
must cry
While | must smile through the boundless
sky,
But there's never II sorrow that won't undo
Through the smile OF friend, and I'll smll'
for you"
| And, 10. as the sunbeam spoke, the frown
| On the face Of the cloud was softening down
Twas years ago, but each cloud you see
Wears u silver lining for you and me.

A MEMORY OF THE CRIMEA

Mlr. C. M. Courtenay writes a letter which will interest survivors of our soldiers and sailors who were taken prisoners in the Crimean war and marched to Kharkoff, who will regret to learn that the bright, kindly little EnGlishWoman, Mime. Braillard, nee ChillinGworth by whom they were met on arrival and accosted in their native tongue, has just died at Schloss Sayn, near Coblentz, at the age of eighty two. Her husband, Swiss, was at the time of the war professor at the Col iege of kharkoff, and being acquainted with the governor of the jail, she was allowed to go down there twice week to meet the prisoners on arrival, and to visit them afterwards. Besides talk ing to them, and being the means of communicating to their friends in Eng land the news of their safety, she took them all the comforts she could clothes, tea, tobacco, books, writing material, etc.-collecting money for the purpose from her sister and veal thy friends at St. Petersbug. The of ficers on parole" dined daily at her house. Her unselfish kindness met with no public recognition, but in old age it was nc small pleasure to her etc re- fleet that though so much of her life had ben spent abroad, still that when the oportunity was given her she had shown herself true-hearted English man.-NWestminster Gazette.

HE HAD THE PosTHoLEs.

A short time since quite a discussion arose among the officials of one of our prominent Southern railroads as to the reason for the many vexatious' delays and troubles in the transmission of local freight. It was claimed by some of the parties interested that 1t was caused almost entirely by the stupid ity or inefficiency of the local agents, and as there was some difference or opinion on this point, it was decided that the matter, should be tested. To this end a tracer was prepared in due and formal shape, calling for the whereabouts of "OneN Box Postholes," ," which it was alleged was missing from the prior shipment. This was sent out in the regular order of business, with nothing except it's "internal nothing ness to draw attention to it's usual character, and passed agent after agent without eliciting any comment or lm- formation, saved the stereotyped in dorsement Not here
 Some fifteen or eighteen local agents were actually passed in this way, until the tracer fell into the hands of a bright young fellow who was accustomed to looking into the business passing through his hands, and who speedily came to the conclusion that the tracer had gone far enough. At any rate the document went speedily back to the general office with the following in dorsement:
 Box of postholes, as per enclosed, held at this station for the local charges to amount of S2.50. Will be forwarded on receipt of same" Under this in dorsement was written: IN. B.-The price of beer at this station is s2.5O per keg." It is said that the charges went forward.-Harper's Magazine.
