Ard as sickness came among us

Ard as sickness came among us
1t was the safest thing to do
To get Aunt Jake's opinion,
Her hops and herb bag, too.
No matter what the trouble,
Whether cut, bruise or faint,
Her services she gave freely
With never q word of plant.
In after years we saw her,
From morning till late at night,
Knitting nets in winter
By the Pickering candle light.
The woodbox in the corner
On which we used to sit
And watch in calm contentment
This good old woman knit.
Her poor old fingers so crooked
Would ply the shuttle through,
And as fast as one was emptied
We would wind it full anew
Her face so scanned and wrinked,
Her hair both scant and gray,
Her form bent over from working
AS she toied on day by day.
And yet this good old soul
From her meagre, scaDty store
Never withheld bite of food,
Or turned the needy from her door.
To be kind to Gods creatures,
To aid the suffering poor,
To share her portion with others
But gladdened her her heart the more.
No better eptaph could we write,
No kinder word and true
Could we say of her than this
.'She did the best she knew
May God bless you, 'Aunt Jake"
Your journey of life is DER
We don't believeNthere's soul more we
come,
Whose feet have touched the shinin
shore.

establishment is fastened firmly among
the heads Of few wheat strnws--
q apleasant, airy home for these mites
In the summer.
These pretty creatures don't look
like the little brown mice which live
in our houses. They have reddish
back and soft, white breast. And
they have very, very long, curly
tail which helps them ip climbing
around among the wheat quite as
much as one of their legs.
Perhaps the farmer does not think
this little mouse 80 pretty, for it eats
the farmers wheat, and although a
meal for such small creature takes
very little food, still when the mouse
families are numerous the farmer dis
covers that many Titles make a good
deal, and that his wheat crop is the
smaller for the number of these little
red atoms that live among il.
In the fall, when the wheat is all
harvested and the angry farmer has
killed as many of these rogues as he
can get hold Of, there are still many
left. What does Mr.. Harvest Mouse
do thenP Well he and his grown up
children dig snug little house under
the ground. II is spacious mansion
for the little fellows. 1t has one large
parlor, with long passages leading to
it, and cozy little corners all about,
where the entire family can go to sleep
in warm beds of the hay or straw
which they have stolen from the long
suffering farmer. There they lie, with
their eyes shut tight, until the warm
sun shines again and the spring comes
around And on some balmy, sun
shiny day, pretty soon now, we can
fancy Mr.. Harvest Mouse taking n
peep out of his front door and squeak
ing to his pretty little wife.
'My dear, just open your eyes and
look out 1t seems 70 me that old Mr..
Brown is over in that field plowing.
1t is such o short distance; let us hope
he is going to plant wheat. Brook

An Indoor Game.

A very jolly game is the royal en-
one of them having been chosen as
leader. The leader, having prepared
some little "horns" of paper that can
be attached to the heads of the players,
like waving plumes, begins by address
ing to the boy or girl seated on his
left in the circle n speech, which all
the players must nepeat after him, word
for word, on pain of receiving tue
name of horned ambassador instead of
that of royal ambassador, which all
hold in right of the game. The speech
is as follows:
Good morning, royal ambassador
always royal. 1.-the royal embsssa-
dor-always royal al-come from his
royal majesty-always royal (indicat-
ing his right hand neighbor)-to tell
you that his eagle has golden beak.
The second and following players
repeat this formula, and when any one
fails paper horn is pinned on his
head for each blunder, and in the fol-
lowing round, instead of saying, "I.
the royal embassador-always royal, )"
he says, 81, the one two or three, ac-
cording to the number of horns he has
received) horned ambassador
horned" etc.
BY the same rule, when speaking to
the wearer of any horn or horns, in
stead of saying, "Good day, royal EN-
bassador-always royal" it is neces-
sary to say, "Good day, one Tor more)
horned embassador-always horned"
At each following round the leader
adds and the others repeat after him n
new quality, to that mentioned rs
possessed by the kings eagle-such
as, for instance, brazen claws, dia-
mond eyes, silver plumes, etc. The
last act of this game is the paying of
forfeits in proportion to the number
of horns that have been distributed.

Nobody went to the door. Rat-tat-

Dorrit heard it. She began to feel
the "fdgets" creeping up the spine
of her back, she told Tortoise. But
what did Tortoise care? The fidgets
might creep up little Dorrit's back and
clear down again, and Tortoise would
only lie on the soft, fur rug and purr
smoothly.

Famous and SPLENDID Corps-Ths

Rogimentai Spirit
Before 1895 our frontier post was
"Mardan, where the Guides
are" Here, ever since its foundation,
that famous and splendid corps has
been quartered In the intervals Of
campaigns which have consistently
added to the luster OF its record, says
@. w. Stevens in the London Mail.
The only corps in India, except the
Gurkha battalion, which has pexma-
nent quarters, the Guides have made
Mardan less Of a station than a regi-
mental home. Here are its family
heirlooms-the mess-walls covered
with heads Of buffalo and ibex, ante
lope and mountain sheep with ban
ners taken from the enemy, and queer
Greco Buddhist statuary excavated
out of the neighboring hills. Here is
the regimental cemetery-full now
and overfiowing into a new one-and
an arch and little garden tardily
created by government to the MEM
ory of the handful of the corps who

a native officer of forty-two years
service-straight away to before the
mutiny-a smiling. little old gentle
man, whose dyed beard only Just
matches the mahogany OF his skin.
He regrets, politely. that the Guides
were not able to appear at Omdurman,
and remarks. as an incentive to my
future efforts, that he himself saw
