BoYHooD HOURS.

Ore night as by the fire sat I thought of this and thought of that, Back many years my mind did fly And l saw it plain with memory's eye That little log house old and gray Where little boy I used to play. I seemed to feel myself once more, Happy and gay, as in days of yore. I have tasted pleasures laughing cup, I've drank the sparkling draught all up; I've been in love. I've felt the bliss When love responds with kiss for kiss. I've often been to the festal den With wine and women and sportiye men, Where testing talk and ribald song Rang loud and deep the whole night long. But all the pleasures rare and fine, Enjoyed when in our manhood's prime, Are nothing more than shams in truth Compared with pleasures of our youth, When We as care-free, happy boys, Played in the house-lot with our toys, Or in the meadow at the brook We sat for hours with a tiny hook, And. oh. our hearts would thrill and
 bound
 When a wriggling fish lay on the ground, I would give what the world can't hold To be boy as in days of old, To sit once more in the meadow grass, And fish for the catfish and the bass. But alas, alas, for me, alack, The earth on its axis don't turn back, And the happy hours the sweet, wild thrill Of our boyhood days we long for still Have gone from our life to come no more And gladden. hearts as in days of yore. Cincinnati Inquirer.

Of More mportance.

A considerable number of years ago a young man went to Marshall Fields great dry goods store to apply for a position, and was fortunate enough to be shown into the office of Mir. Field himself, to whom he stated the object of his call.
 The merchant was fayorably im- pressed with his appearance and ad- dress, and after asking him a few ques- tions relative to his business experi- ence, promised him place in his en- ploy. But the caller, who evidently had expected to be more vigorously catechized, thought it best to volunteer some more information.
 If you wish" he began, 'to know something of my antecedents-"
 "I don't care to know anything about your antecedents, young man." inter- rupted Mr. Field, with a smile. "If your subsequents are all right, you'll do. You may report to Mir. Hitchcock next Monday"

A Vast Difference.

There was never any haste at Aunt Euphemia's table, consequently Dor othy, the youngest of all the nieces and nephews who gathered at Poplar Hill in the summer, had learned what to expect Everything was served by Aunt Euphemia, and age had strict precedence.
 There came a day, however, when Dorothy, returning to the family din lng-room after a season spent In her room with a sore throat, found at her place a little delectable apple pie, so small that 1t seemed as if 1t must be meant for her alone. Nevertheless she determined to be cautious.
 Am I'-she looked anxiously to- ward the head of the table, where sat her awe-inspiring relative-"am I t be aunty for this pie, or Is 1t all mine, Aunt Euphemia?'

 What did that appointment have reference to?"
 Not to this matter in any way"
 Then that wouldn't help us?''
 "No; It was merely to close up pur- chase of some shares and debentures. It was too late to deposit the certifi cates in a safer place, so I put them in my own safe till I came back from the North"
 "Who has an Interest in abstractlng or destroying this assignment of the lease;"
 Nobody but the pople who have brought the action for trespass."
 Well. MT. Cheeseman, here we are at the offices We shall soon know If MT. Brlnstalr has been heard of"
 An amount of hustle unusual In the quiet building was apparent as they approached the stairway leading to Mir Brlnstair's offices.
 A police inspector was leaving the room as they drew near. Are you on this job?" he asked Mir. Tarrant.
 "A side issue only,' replied Tarrant Have you any clue to the mystery?"
 Nothing conclusive. Mir Rriustalr's hat, identified by his card inside the lining, has been found in the river. That may mean something or nothing a clue or ruse :"
 Exactly. We can go in?"
 Certainly. Come in. There Is no one here but constable and MT. Brln- stairs confidential clerk. Nothing has been disturbed. It Is evident that Mir. Brinstair was induced to leave his of flee by somebody or for some purpose during the evening. and never came back as he intended when he left"
 Well I am not interested profes- sonally In his disappearance, other wise than as It might bear on a missing document belonging to this gentleman, Mir. Cheeseman. I only want the box, in which the papers were kept. and the portmanteau examined" Tarra~' turn ed to the confidential clerk, and added Perhaps you will oblige me by going through them while am here"
 Ut Is no good" interposed Mr. Cheeseman, irritably, doing that again. We have gone through the lot"
 "po you really want me to find this papsS for you?" asked Tarrant. with

2 art of the Terriyale coal mines. An action of trespass has been brought against me, and the plaintiffs in that suit have also applied for an injune- tion to prevent my working the mines till the trespass case is tried Unless I can produce this assignment they will get their injunction, and my loss will be enormous if I am stopped"
 But surely you can compel them to pay any loss you may suffer If you win eventually"
 "Oh, they are men of straw, not worth penny. 1 tell you, Mir. Tar rant" pleaded Cheeseman, fairly jump ing with nervous excitement; moth ing can exaggerate the importance of that lease to me at this moment"
 Well, well, MT. Cheeseman we will take a cab down to the Temple, and look at the situation. We can talk further as we go, but let me add that, unless you can calm yourself. you will increase my difficulties considerably :" to which MT. Cheeseman replied that now that Tarrant had taken the affair In hand he felt easier.
 On their way, Tarrant put few pertinent questions. Where" he asked. did you last see this document, Mir. Cheeseman?"
 At Brinstair's office. We locked 1t up again in the box reserved for my papers,
 When was that?"
 "On Friday last"
 And this Is Wednesday. And you haven't seen 1t since then?"
 "No. was going north on Saturday. and arranged to meet Brlnstair at Mansfield yesterday"
 Could Brinstalr have put It In the wrong box by mistake"
 Impossible! He had the box brought in, stood It on a table beside his desk, opened 1t and took out the lease. When we had finished with 1t, he put It back distinctly remember seeing him re- lock the box.:'
 And did he put the box back in It's placer"
 That I don't remember-I'm not sure-I don't think he did, though, while I stayed"
 Where did you go then?'

English Schools,

About corporal punishment In Eng land two curious facts lie beyond dis pute. One Is that while the working class and the lower middle class dis like and resent 1t and will not In gen. eral allow their children to undergo 1t, the aristocracy tolerate 1t without con- plalnt. The time is coming, one might assert paradoxlcally, when 1t will be impossible to fog anybody but the son of a peer. And the other fact Is that public school boys have often felt a special affection for the masters who have punished them most
 In Westminster abbey stand side by side the tombs of master and his pupil. The master was Dr. Busby, who was head master of Westminster school for so long a time as fifty eight years. Nobody ever logged So many boys as he. The pupil was the theo- loglan, pr. South. It is told-I am sure the story Is true-that when South came as small boy to Vest minister Busby greeted him with the ominous words: 'I see great talents In that sulky little boy, and my rod shall bring them out" If so, he was no doubt as good as his word. But when South lay upon his deathbed 1t was his last prayer to be buried at his old masters feet, and the master and the pupil now rest side by slde.-Nine- teerth Century.
