BALLAD.

"Whither away2 Shall we sail or stay?
whittier away" ! said,
"Into the sunsets glory Of gold and
passion Of rose red?
over the water changed to wine and In.
to the sky we slip,
But never u fairer shore than this shall
find our buoyant ship
Not though by shadowy Already we drop
the anchor At last,
And in the dusk our weary sails come
rafting down the mast.
Into the dark steals off the bark: let us
stay In our bridal June:
WHITTIER away should lovers stray from
the Island of HoneymoonY
80 far away in the dying day, and far
theT away" she cried,
Gre the glory of gold has faded yet or
the passion of rose-red died,
O far away from the happy present Wis
ii the happy past,
Though never shall our ghostly sails
die down the shadOwy mast:
For we will hit by the twilight land and
name the places fair,
But set no foot on the Shore she cried
"nor drop the anchor there:
But under the night with so swift a
flight that the keel is singing in
tune,
Back, haste back on the starry track to

styles for Mourning.

Oflate years it has been consid cred
correct TO wear white during the
summer tor light mourning. 1t is Il
pretty fashion, a becoming, and
dainty one. 1t Is not correct style
for first or very deep mourning, but
after six or eight months 1t is gener-
ally accepted as possible. When all
white is worn as mourning there
must be no color at all used with il,
and there must always be black
gloves and black parasol. A white
hat even is permitted, but there
must be some touch like the gloves
aud parasol to mark the fact that it
is not simply a dainty, attractive
summer costume. Another point
that is made is that there shall be no
elaborate trimming of lace or en-
broldery, Ii must needs be all white
and exceedingly simple. White
pique and white linen gowns, for
instance, are worn with white silk
shirt-waists. Wherever any trim.
ming must show, there must be black
in it, as for example, in any beading
there must be black ribbon run
through il.
All-black shoes and stockings are
an essential point of mourning. Even
for golting tan shoes cannot be used.
There is fad much in favor among
certain set of people who go in for
out door sport, aud that is to wear,

gracefully must needs be an accom-.

full conditions OF their declining
years were forced upon them. Yet,
all over this great land of ours there
are found men who know no poetry,
who have had no great political or

into their eighties with the cherry

A Sensible Woman.

A certain fashionable doctor had
a horror of feminine loquacIty, and

woman he ever met came to him
with bad finger. She held out her
hand for examination without a
word. He dressed the injured
finger, aud she withdrew silently
In four days she came again. Bet

Then one day she held out her hand
free from bandages. "Well?" asked
the physician. WELL" was the re,

Stands the old fashioned country seat.
Across its antique portico
Tall poplar trees their shadows throw,
And there. throughout the livelong day
Jemima plays the pi-a-na,
Do, re, mi,

In the front parlor, there it stands,
And there Jemima phys her hands
While her papa, beneath his cloak,
Mutters and groans: "This is no Joke!
And swears to himself and signs, alas
With sorrowful voice to all who pass.

And plunks away with main and might

Free hearted hospitality;
But that was many years before

When she began her daily PUNK,
Into their graves the neighborS sunk

All thankful that they're safely dead

Until Jemima rose at five,
And then they laid their burden down
And one and all they skipped the town

Harlem Life.

Sometimes as old age comes to
people there is sloughing away of
the small cOurtesies or charms of
manner. Yet when I hear young
people criticise such lapses l won
der if they are not, many of them,
even now, forming habits that age
will confirm, aud which will prove
more objectionable than those they
to-day critizise. The way" OF
youth becomes second nature with
age.
So, after all, are not the habits OF
others who are older than we eX
cellent object lessons TO us who are
daily growing older? They may
teach US to avoid the small lapses
from good breeding, the little heed
less tricks in which we are some
times tempted to indulge. One wo.
man on the shady side of fifty has 6

shapely foot beats light tap, tap
/ tap on the floor of her pew-a seem
ingly harmless habit, but one thar
threatens to drive to nervous despair

AS one advances in years it il
only too easy to acquire nervous
| tricks, which, after while, bec0m,
almost incurable habits. When on
is no longer young she is too old t,
be schooled, and young peopl,
should be too respectful to attemp
it. With each of us rests the re
sponsibility of keeping our manner
up to the mark of perfect breeding
None of us has right To form
habit that can possibly cause dis
comfort or annoyance to those wit
whom we come in contact Mar
