THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS.

I Travelled wide for happiness
l climbed lofty hill;
Below me spread a wilderness,
forest dark and still.
"Here find cried one, Sin solitude
The cure for thy DISTRESS
The crowd neer seek yon quiet wood,
IT'S for the wise, the pure, the good
AnG far from Lifes wild press.
Stay cried the voice, lend here thy QlesA
In yon dun shades find peace and rest
The sil,snce filled my soul with fear
Still cried the voice: IT'S here! tbs here!"
I fed and sought the busy mart
l heard the city's roar;
The dreadful discord smote my heart,
Which shuddered to the core.
Again, as erst upon the hill,
The voice | heard before,
Cried loud, in vibrant tones and shrill:
Here drink of happiness thy fill,
Nor ever wander more"
But many tear-tilled eyes were there,
And fun owed brows, cheeks shrunk with
care;
Through the vast crowd stalked staring
Fear
4. Nor rest nor happiness were near.
With weary feet sought a home
And here | found my quest;
For love forbade to farther roam
And promised Joy and rest.
Health filed the jocunG buXom breeze,
And Beauty stood contest.
Laughed loud the fields, and all the trees
And songs Of birds did never cease
Above the happy nest.
Sweet flowers with fragrance filled the air,
And pure and full content was there
Here" cried my heart, lis Loves fair
shrine"
And rest and happiness were mine.

vance.

window, to the neglect of his business.
lie seemed to forget all-shoes strings,
newspapers, pencils and matches. At
last he was awakened from his dream
by the sweet voice of a very pretty girl
who stood in the doorway.
Don't you get tired looking at those
things" she asked.
Felix looked confused and STAN
mered: "There are so many things
here to-day, mademoisel
(Which do you like best of alp" she
asked.
Felix made another survey of the
fairy world. Finally his eyes were held
by fine bagatelle table with sticks and
balls. One of his chums, the autocrat
of the newsboys' home, had one just
like it. He looked up into the girls
face and, pointing with his dirty fin
ger to the toy, simply said: That"
THAT costs two francs" she said.
Then, seeing the look of despair on
the boys face, she added: wait
minute till come back"
Felix had hardly time to reflect on
the strange interview when the girl
returned with a package in her hand.
"Take this" she said. at is my
Christmas present to you. Think of
me when you play with it,"
Felix could hardly believe his eyes.
His fairy ran back to her counter in
the store without waiting for his
thanks. 1t was an inclement day and
he had not taken in enough to pay
for his lodging. An old gentleman
with large gold spectacles and a be-
nevolent fac had witnessed the scene.
He patted F. tx on the shoulder.
why don't you open the package? ?"
he asked.
II have no time now; I must make
few sous first" was the reply.

jepot.
1t wasn't the Kenwood bedroom that
inclosed him in the morning, and it
really wasn't the best sleeping car he
had ever seen. He was inclined to com
plain of the inattention of the porter,
and the lack of travelling comforts in
general, when he noticed a very fair
young woman in a proper gray dress,
trying to put parcel in the rack above
the window.
"Why don't You have the porter do
that?" sked Raymond.
"Why don't you do it?" asked the
woman, in return.
SO he bent over and helped her.
"If you don't keep after them they
won't do anything" said Raymond.
What you need is your breakfast"
said the young woman.
He thought over that for a moment.
and then asked her if she had eaten.
"Certainly," she replied. "An hour
ago"
His eyebrows lifted. This was new
style-to him. She was simply natural
and unaffected-not bold. He had no
thought of presuming. He respected
her from the very beginning.
Better come in with me, and eat

At noon over the coffee he asked her:

"Of course you are not. People have
not understood you. That is all. No,

T'ROM his seventh year Felix Mar
teau had been forced TO make his
own living in the streets of Paris.
His stock of merchandise consisted
of matches, shoestrings, dailynewspa-
pers pencils and nerye-killing voice.
His education was also forced on him.
When Felix was four years old he
was given the privilege of accompany
ing his mother TO the workhouse. She
had been committed for habitual in
toXica ton. The benevolent matron of
the institution took deep interest in
him. She taught him to read and write
and the elements of arithmetic. He
needed no more in his business, which
presented few arithmetical problems.
The transactions hardly ever exceed
ed 80 SOUS per day, the profits of which,
would give him a comfortable lodging
When business was duh the ragged,
bare-footed urchin was compelled to
make his bed of papers under stair
ways.
When his father and mother were
finally sentenced to a long term of
imprisonment for robbery, Felix was
left alone in the world. For ten years
he led the same aimless life with lit
tie variation in his fortune. Then
love came even to this forsaken nomad.
Near the crossing where Felix car
ried on his trade was a large toy
store. 1t had a beautiful display win
dow and the endless variety Of play
things always had a magnetic attrac-
ton for him. For hours he would

and looked at the prairies in the after
noon sun. And She told him about her
school, and tried to find out what he
had been doing with his opportunities.
And so, for the first time since the
property came to him, he too began
10 wonder what he had done.
And he wasn't pleased with what he
found. There was a little hole in the
fortune; but it wasn't enough to war
rant any man in breaking his nerves
down trying TO burn money.
They were good deal together on
the train-naturally. He had been over
the road four times, but he didn't know
anything about it, or the country, and
she told him some things.
At Cheyenne he wanted to hold her
hand At Rawlins he proposed to her.
At Ogden he wanted to quit the train,
and drown himself at the Great Salt
lake. At San Francisco he remembered
that he had been entirely sober for
three days.
Maybe that was the reason he didn't
get out of the way of the Clay street
cable car. Anyway, they brought him
to the hotel considerably battered,
and the doctors said he better not go
down to the Yosemite with the rest Of
the excursion. So he had them tele-
graph to Kenwood stating that he
would be at home when he got better.
Next day he noticed bunch Of pam

"HElMWEH."
What a tender feeling

"Heimwehr What a tender feeling :
Surges in the wanderers heart
At this world Long vanished pictures
From sweet @memory's casket' start!
Home, that little low-eaved dwelling,
Mother sitting In her chair,
Father brothers, sisters, playmates,
And the happy welcome there.
"Heimweh!" oh, the world is dreary.
Cold and selfish so 1t seems
Hours of ease and fame and fortune
Are but childhood's golden dreams,
Dreams, that like the Sodom apples,
Turn to ashes cold and gray
Leaving but a weary pilgrim
Longing for his Cnildhood's day.
"Heimweh!" He may yearn forever!
Broken is the little band
Gathered once around the fireside,
In his own 'lieb Heimathland;
Some are out upon life's ocean,
Battling fiercely on the deep,
Some within the quiet churchyard
Silent lie in that last sleep.
"Heimwehr Is there then no comfort?
Is his happiness all past?
Weary, lonely, heart-sick wanderer,
Peace and joy shall come at last!
Here shall change to blest hereafter,
Rest reward all those who roam;

We shall find perfect home.

French proyerbs

Among the French are some apt
proverbs that go directly to the point.
The following, translated by Mar
garet Harrison, seem to have Lost
none of their wit by being put into
English:
The first and worst of all frauds is
TO cheat ones self.
To be happy one must have nothing
to forget.
A good intention makes but short
ladder,
Happy is he who is not obliged 10
sacrifice anyone to duty.
For all misfortunes there are two
remedies-time and silence.
Indifference is the heart sleeping,
The greatest, the strongest, above
all the cleverest man, is he who
knows how to wait.
The sorrows of to-day make the
happiness of tomorrow.
