OLD LETTERS.

OLD LETTERS.
The house was silent, and the ngnt
Was fading from the western glow;
1 read till tears had dimmed my sight,
Some letters written long ago.
The voices that have passed away,
The faces that have turned TO Houlo'
Were round me in the room To-Day
And laughed and chatted as OF OLD.
The thoughts that youth was wont TO thlnK'
The hopes dead forevermore,
Came from the lines Of faded ink
AS sweet and earnest as or yore
l laid the letters by and dreamed
The dear dead past to life again.;
The present and its purpose seemed
A fading vision full of pain.
Then with sudden shout of glee,
The children burst into the room;
Their little faces were to me
AS sunrise in the cloud of gloom.
The world was full of meaning still,
For love will live though loved ones die!
I turned upon life's darkened hill
And glorled in the morning sky.

ADVICE TO GIRLS ABOUT DRINKING.

ADVICE TO GIRLS ABOUT DRINKING.
Whether girls ought to drink any stmulant when
they are out is question that Is often discussed
OF course some of them do take a milk punch or
something of that sort and then, but 1t Is
generally considered much better form for young
women to abstain from taking anything at all
''It is best to be the safe side, says MIS-
c4rundy with the wisdom that sometimes charac-
tertzes her utterances. Champagne and puncn
are insidious and youthful spirits are easily ex-
cited If a girl In the exuberance OF her youthful
gayety is too much Of romp, 1t does not particu-
Iarly signify If she has taken nothing, but many
disagreeable and altogether untrue things nave
been said of the perfectly harmless high spirits OF
young women in society who may have taken
small amount of champagne. For this reason II
for no other it is far better that they should ao-
stain altogether" -. a..
It sometimes happens, too. more's the pity, tnat
the criticism is not altogether undeserVeo Glrls
do in their ignorance sometimes take too mucn
and show the effects quite decidedly. 1t is difficult
member the amount Of wine that has been taken
when warm and thirsty from dancing, and as Mrs
Cirundy advises, it is much wiser to be known as
IT have seen girls IN what might be called a dry
lag" remarked a cubman, speaking on this SUP
feet. "They have been excited at bail by the
dancing the light and the talking that they nave
not an idea what they are doing and are perfectly
silly If girls this state had been taking stimu.
iants, they certainly would have the reputation Of
drinking, and l really would advise debutantes TO
leave alone"
