that worn by little Miss Oracle Mead.
She looked like a fairy butterfly and

Tippiag Club WAIVERS.

"wno tips club wniters?" is the ques.
tion put forth by writer in the London
Sketch, who continues: Il have been
making some inquiries lately on this vexett
question CT members of certain clubs and
have heard strange stories. The prevalence
of the tip is beyond dispute, despite the
penalties that must needs accompany the
discovery of the procedure, although it
may not be found, of course, in the very
best clubs. l dined the other evening at
big political club, and my host apologized
Tor the inordinnte length Of the intervals
Truth to tell, lie said. Il would rather
endure any interval than tip the walters,
md many of my fellow members, who are
less scrupulous, get better service.
"A member of another club, nonpoliti-
chi, told mo that after trying the two
methods he found that prompt service
followed tip and indifferent service was
melted out to members who gave the
walters only trouble and Christmas box
Beyond doubt the man who makes him
self objectionable to the club walters must
endure many a small annoyance, and in
the desire to lead a quiet life the system
of tipping has entered many club of re-
pute and will take hard work TO uproot
1t is very unpleasant system, and yet,
seeing how deeply rooted It is in the med
crn order of things, can one wonder If II

THREE MEETINGS.

Zoe was one of the prcttiest and most
graceful Greek girls that ever tripped
lightly through the streets of CONSTANT
| nople For several weeks past Zee had
had to sell the service of her clever little
hands to lady in one of the foreign EN-
bassies, as fortune, in her mind synony-
nous with u good match, had not come to
her as quickly as she had hoped when she
left the little island where she had always
lived until then. Now she was the favor

clothes whenever she could without get

comb to do her hair at her lady's dressing
table, and in spite of all this she consid
cred herself the most faithful and trust
worthy of ladies' maids
But one day Zoe was not to be found,
neither in her mistress boudoir, her study
rcr in the bazaar, where she was always
SO fond of making purchases for my lady.
Zoe had gone where all the "beau monde"

What prisoned Ariel within thee broodsf
Marvel of human skill and human thought,
Light as dry leaf in the winter woodsl
Thou mystic thing, all beautiful, what mind
Conceived thee, what intelligence began
And out of chaos thy rare shape designed,
Thou delicate and perfect work of manf
Across my hands thou lest mute and still;
Thou wilt not breathe to ne thy secret fine
Thy matchless tones the eager air shall thrill
To no cntreaty or command CT mine.
But comes thy master! Lo, thou yieldest all
Passion and pathos, rapture and despairl
To the souls need thy searching voice doth
call,
In language exquisite beyond compare
Till into speech articulate at last
Thou seemst to break, and thy charmed lis

Thee waking echoes of the vanished past,
Touching the source of Gladness and Of tears
And with bowed head he lets the sweet wave
roll
Across him, swayed by that weird power Of
thine,
And reverence and wonder fill his soul
That man 8 creation should be SO divine.

THE SWORD.

The sword is sharp-the sword is truth,
That makes the crooked places plain
And teaches roughly, without ruth,
Great verities pressed home through
pain;
That CRrves through falsehood's living flesh
To cut the cords that drew her mesh.
The sword is merciless-as love,
That lances deep to heal wound;
That holds the unblcmi$hed soul above
Sleek safety, with dishonor crowned.
"Say, hast thou stopped 10 count the cost?''
"Nay! nations did so and were lost!"
Tie sword costs dear-the sword this day
Is honor, worth all worlds to him
Who hears the futures patriots pray,
Leave not this stain our shield TO diln!'
The sword deals death: Then wait for life
To do the deed with dullcr knifei
The sword is tcrrible-the sword
Is God, the God of Hosts, the Lord,
Who yet leads forth n chosen band
To lift the curse that loads II land.
Through tears of women, blood of men,
His peace ON earth must come again.
The rusting sheath when right is wronged-
The fainting fear-feet leadcn shod,
Or eyes in shameless sleep prolonged
Nay, these are terrible as God,
As sharp as truth, as dread as death,

THE PORTRAIT.

When lonely, late and far from love -
restless through my chamber move
Or brood with sad surmiSe,
One gaze yet claims me as its thrauS =
My lady's picture from the wall
Looks down in silence, noting all,
And follows with her eyes.
Dear eyes, so tender, frank Gnd sweet
Aye, smiling when our glances meet
As though to bring me cheer,
Forgive the thankless humors black,
Which sometimes drive your comforts back
Vexed that herself l still should lack
Whose portrait bides SO nearl
Forgive me that from you turn
To where, like Jewels in their urn,
Her letters lie concealed;
That slow con them, line by line,
Till from each treasured page doth shine
A flame that leaps to mate with mine,
Her very soul revealed
o haunting, pictured eyes, know
How constant is the debt owe
Your witchery Of arti
Yet you're her counterfeit at best,
While here her absolute self expressed.
Tells me from farthest east to west
She follows with her heart.

A SEA SONG.

Oh, east by north the strong breeze blows,
The sen drives west by south!
Far out the thickening cloud rack flows
Across the harbor's mouth.
Aloft the ripping bunting; plays,
The ratlincs whistle shrill,
And down tho sky the gray gulls fly
Beyond the darkening hill.
Then loose the sail to greet the gale
That crisps the scurrying wave,
And bless the breeze that lifts the seas
The ships stout sides to lave.
Let breakers roll or fog bells toll,
Or decks be dashed with foam,
Through cloud and spray she'll cleave hel
way
And bear the seamen home.

THE GOLDEN AGE.

There are no days like bygone days,
So thinks the smile heart,
No ways there are like ancient ways,
None now such bliss impart;
For when the vision back is cast
1t sees Il golden age.
That heart then signs for all the past
And deems the action sage.
The brightest days are coming days,
Atfirms the youth i'll gl@c,
And on the future is his gaze
While present moments flee.
The golden age is yet to beam
Before his eager mind,
And thus lis thoughts with luster CLEAN
As they their views iInbind.
But 10 the sensual cTicure
The olden age Is now.
With plenty near his joy is sure,
And pleasure crowns his brow.
Within the present days he tries
To taste the choicest good,
Asserting that the rich and wise
Are those supplied with food.
The true philosophy is found
In looking up and on
Away from sordid, earthly ground
Toward everlasting dawn.
The better life beyond us lies,
Declares the sacred page,
And those who look with faith lit eyes
Discern the golden age.

CORYDON'S COMPLAINT.

The garlands on my crook are faded,
That every morn 1 once renewed,
To gather which in streams I waded
Or searched the woodlands solitude,
Whose blooms in dewy wreaths braided
Gold, watchet, white and rosy hued.
Now fle on love and all his follyI
My goodly mien is quito foregone;
My locks, that were so plump and jolly,
Are changed TO meager, lean and wan;
In mournful slough Of melancholy
Right begged and mired is Corydon.
Sweet, dainty maid, for whose disdaining
1 do in scath and sorrow fare,
Beauty once lost nor skill nor .feigning
Its lovely aspect may repair.
Behold these wretched blossoms waningi
As you are now, SO once they were.

Low leaning from Iii" grassy water side,

Like lady fingers trailed in cooling tide.
Within the bower is never seen the sun,
Though fiCrccst Ia:s ;iS.al is leafy screen,
And, save for lowing CT the distant herd,
And tapping waves, the silence is serene.
Herein sit within my little boat,
Soft cushioned rs in dreams of weary men.
And little rCcli that the world without
Is full of care and strife of sword and pen.
With eyelids closed and pillowed cheek Oh

Till twilight come; and gees and night ha

And then leave my bower, fain to stay.
