New Enriand,s Mountain Child.

 Where foams the fall-a tameless storm Through Natures wild and rich s.rcade, Which forest trees, entwining, form. There trips the mountain maid. Sine binds not her luxuriant hair With dazzling gem or costly plume, But gayly wreathes a rosebud there, To match her maiden bloom. She clasps no golden zone of pride Her fair and simple robe around; By flowing riband, lightly tied, Its graceful folds are bound. And thus attired-a sportive thing, Pure, loving, guileless, bright and wild. z Proud Fashion, match me in your ring, New Englands mountain child! She scorns to sell her rich, warm heart For paltry gold or naughty rank, But gives her love, untaught by art, Confding, free and frank. And, once bestowed, no fortune change That Ugh and generous faith can alter: Through grief and pain, too pure to
 range,
 She will not fly or falter. Her foot will bound as light and free In lowly hut as palace hall; Her sunny smile as warm will be, For love to her is all. Hast seen where in our woodland gloom The rich magnolia proudly smiled?- So brightly doth she bud and blooms New Englands s mountain child!

Reading il. Red.

Reading iii bed used to be objected to in the old days on the score of danger, and one of the first injunctions of hostess to her guest was in refer ence to that prevalent but disquieting practice But in these days, when electric light has removed the risk of fire, the question is one solely of it's benefit or harm to the prospective sleeper. The Medical Press and Cir cular is of the opinion that a short course of some standard author may act as composing sedative, but works which contain extremes of wit. melo- drama, comedy, tragedy or philosophy should be avoided. Like a good sup per, the reading should be neither too heavy nor too stimulating. On the other haa1, most physicians are of the opinion that bed should be kept as much as possible for sleep. A habit of reading before putting out the light and closing ones eyes is apt to grow and become tyranny, and, like drugs the more you indulge in it the longer has the reading to be to have the de. sired effect. It must be admitted however, that the habit, to all but those fortunate beings who are asleep the moment their head touches the pillow, is very seductive, and that 9 good many peoples most serious read ing is done at that time.-London Tele- graph.

THE FUTURE OF SAMOA.
Effect of Policy to Be Adopted by the
 Three Powers.

Three Powers.
 The questions now come up, says the Independent: Will the three govern ments interested be able to work in harmony and will the general effect be edueative on the people, tending to- ward the development of the power Of self-g government? As to tEa former. much will depend on the ultimate pur- pose of the governments. If the islands are to be exploited for the prime advantage of Germany, England and the United States, then we can scarcely expect anything else than 9 renewal of the criminations and re- crimfnations of the past years and harmony may as well be thrown 70 the winds. If, on the other hand, it is made evident that in the conduct of the government of the islands the first bought is what will be hest for them, even if IL involves some sacrifice of other interests, then there is no req son why there should not be q happy and prosperous future for the commit nity. Upon the same thing depends the answer to the second question That the Samoan can rise to self gov ernment few. if any, will deny. Whether he will attain to it, however. is very different question. If he is made to feel that he is simply an agent 10 further English-Amerieap trade interests, his keenness may be developed, but not his character. That will only come by recognizing his man. hood, trusting while at the same time guiding his judgment: stirring his am bitioD by opening to him new oppor- tunities.

AT HYMEN's ALTAR.

Tn some parts of Switzerland a GUS tom obtains for the friends of a bride to present ar elaborate cheese to her on her wedding day. It is then used as a family register and heirloom the births. deaths and marriages of the various members of the family be- ing recorded upon it. Some of thesa old cheeses date back as far as 1860. A country squire exhibited one at Ges- senay, at an agricultural show, which was from TO to 180 years old. It had been an heirloom in a family residing in the canton of Vaud, after which it became the property of it's present pos sessor, who resides in the Canton Berne.

Some like solitude amid fine scenery; others prefer to be alone In a crowd. or else desire a complete change from their accustomed surroundings. like sailor who stipulated that his bride should take him well out of sight of the sea. But the most ideally perfect honeymoon, according to a sentimen- talist, is when two lovers have been parted, and after long grief and pain" they meet once more. not to be digii- lusioned, as sometimes happens, but to find the love of former days more than rene"'1 Their wef 7g follows swiftly on the happy meeting, and they go off with the glamor of it still in their hearts, to some place of sunny weather and perfect beauty. Such an experience of happiness as that is rare. but for those who are fortunate enough to win 1t the remembrance must re- main lifelong joy.

A new fashion in wedding presents appears to be about to supersede the hackneyed one of jewelry. It takes the form of prayer books for brides and bridesmaids, covered in specially designed artistic bindings, with the in- itials of each recipient, and the date of the event in gold on the side. A leaf of vellum, with gold border, is also in- serted in each book for the signatures of those present at the ceremony. The idea is excellent as a prayerbook is a serviceable article for daily use, and is also a memento of filling the office of bridesmaid. Apropos of honeymoons it is curious to see the many different ways in which people consider it hap piest oispend that period.
