A TRUSTY SERVANT.

In these days, when the air is filled
with complaints about servants, it is
pleasant and wholesome to read the
testimony which a grateful mistress
gives in the New York Tribune. There
are other homekeepers, doubtless, who
could give similar delightful evidence
OF faithfulness on the one side and
appreciation on the other. Such col
lected revelation would make cheer
full and profitable reading.
The ideal servant docs exist, writes
the lady, for l have known and loved
her. We had been for nearly three
months without a servant, and were
almost in despair, when one night
there came ring at the door bell.
Another girl" thought, ito ask how
many children 1 haye! opened the
door and there stood Lena Larsen.
She was nearly six feet tall, big and
strong, and with such an honest face
that | liked her from the first.
DO you want grip she asked.
Indeed 1 do" l said. ''Come ill.,"
We struck bargain then and there,
although four of the children were in
the room. When J. look back on those
happy days with my little ones /
realize how much Of that pleasure I
owe to her. The two older boys grew
to be college men while she was with
us; the one girl became college girl,
and from a nursery the home was
transformed into a sort Of fraternity
house.
During those years of entertaining
1t was Lena who took pains that every
thing, dining-room, table and service,
should be perfect. She may have had
her faults, but l do not remember
them. If we ever thought she had too
much company we recollected how
glad she was when we had guests;
how she made birthday cakes and got
up club suppers for the boys, and how
gently she handled the pretty china.
1 Of course, Lena had to have her
holidays; but when she came back
from vacation there was always a
jubilee. Jack gave a welcoming bark;
the head of the house said, "Now don't
run out and make a time over her;
you know you'll spoil" but no one
ever heard the rest Of the sentence
for tho mistress, the littlest child, the
one girl, the third boy and the two
older boys, one and all rushed out
into the kitchen
Even when the shadow Of death
darkened the household her work was
just as faithfully done, although we
knew how heavy her heart was, for
was not he the fayorite Of all the
children? Had he not always been
kind to her, as he had to every one
in his short life? Somehow, after she
had shared our one sorrow she seemed
even more the friend and less the serv-
ant.
Lena is married now. / hope that
she has some pretty china Of her own
i'll far-off Sweden, and that her hus-
band thinks her a jewel, and we know
she has little children to love her.
We have her photograph and a china
angel, her parting gift to the littlest
child, and when we look at them they
bring back hosts of memories Of the
precious life with my children, made
possible by her years of honest service
and faithful friendship May all good
angels bless her, wherever she may be,
the dear Lena!

Superior Depot Burns TO Ground.

The Union depot used by the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and South
Shore roads in Superior was burned to
the ground. 1t was a frame building,
built in 1885, at cost Of $4,000, and
was insured for $4,000. For years there
has been talk of fine Union depot
there, and people are hoping that the
fire will bring the talk to head. The
cause of the blaze is not known.

That Gentle Emerson.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once adj
dressed literary society. during com
mencement at Middlebury, Vt, and
when he ended, the president called
upon a clergyman to conclude the SER
vice with prayer. Then arose a Mass
achusetts minister, who stepped into
the pulpit Mr.. Emerson had just left
and uttered a remarkable prayer. of
which this was one sentence: I'VE
beseech thee, O Lord, to deliver us
from ever hearing any more such
transcendental nonsense as we have
Just listened to from this sacred desk
After the benediction, Mr.. Emerson
asked his next neighbor the name of
the officiating clergyman, and, when
falteringly answered. with gentle SIM
plicity remarked, He seemed very
conscientious, plain-sDollen man." and
went on his peaceful way.

THE HEARTS COUNTRY.

Hill people turn to their hills;
Sea folk are sick for their sea;
Thou art my land and my country
And my heart calls out for thee.
The bird beats his wings for the open,
The captive burns to be free;
But IL cry in the darkness
For thou art my liberty.
Florence Wilkinson, in McClure's.

When parents do more for one
child than for another, the other
children never find their memories so
poor that they forget it.
