a SWEET LITTLE SINGER.

Brushing and sweeping and busting,
little Swedish girl was busily clean
ing a big schoolroom in Stockholm.
She warbled and sang as she worked,
like bird in springtime. A lady
riding past in her carriage heard the
song, and stopped to listen to the
sweet voice then entered the build
ing and hunted about till she found
the little singer. The child was shy,
and not at all pretty; but her manner
was so courteous that the lady was
charmed.
II must take your daughter to
Cralius, the famous music master, :"
she said to the mother, who was the
janitressof the school building. "She
has voice that will make her for
tune"
So the lady took the little girl
away with her to see the music mas
ter. The great man was delighted
with her voice. IT must take her
to Count Puche," he said che is a
great judge of music"
But Count Puche looked coldly at
the young singer, and gruf1y asked
the music master what he expected
him to do with such child.
"Only to hear her sing" answered
Crelius.
This the Count consented to do,
and when she had finished, he cried
out in delight: "She shall have the
advantages of the Stockholm acad-
emy."
At the academy the child sang and
studied, and studied and sang. She
was not yet twelve, and with all the
praise and attention showered upon
her she was almost in danger of being
spoiled.
One evening at an entertainment
she was to sing higher part than
she had ever tried before. The house
was filled and everybody was looking
for the little favorite. She took her
place before the audience, but when
she tried to sing there was no sound.
She tried again, but all her silvery
notes were gone. The master was
very angry. Her friends were sur
prised and grieved, and the poor little
songstress dropped with sorrow.
Her voice did not come back next
day, nor the next. Slowly the beau-
tiful dream of fame and fortune faded
away yet she bore her disappoint-
ment bravely, and said: 81 will
study"
Four years passed, and the people
had quite forgotten the little singer,
till one day someone was wanted for
an unimportant partin chorus which
none of the regular singers was will
ing to take, and the master thought
again of his poor little pupil. Would
she take it? Pleased to be useful
and oblige her kind master, she con-
sented to sing.
While practicing her part, to the
surprise and Joy of both pupil and
teacher, the long-lost voice suddenly y
returned with all its beauty and rich
ness. All who remembered the lit
tie nightingale received her back
with a hearty welcome, and she af-
terward became one of the most won
derful singers the world has ever
known.
Have you guessed the little Swed-
ish girls name? 1t was Jenny Lind.

THE SONG OF THE KArYD1Ds.

If there are some mosquitoes at my
tipped-up farm, there are more katy
dds. There is always some recon-
pense if we but have eyes to see or
ears to hear. If there had been no
George Ill, there would have been
no Washington.
The katydid is the most industri-
Gus optimist in the world. He sings
the same song of Joy all night, but
does it so cheerfully and heartily that
it never grows old. have listened
to katydids now nearly forty years,
and they have the same charm for me
as at the beginning. They sing in
the locusts here as they did in the
locusts at home when was boy. l
have not stopped to analyze what con-
stitutes the enchaEtment in their re-
iterations, but so strong hold have
they on the average man that if there
are no katydids in heaven he will feel
that something is lacking.
Some fanciful writers assert that
these hearted insect folk are
constantly disputing, one saying that
"Katy did" and the other as con-
stantly asserting that Katy didn't" )"
This has been repeated till it is thread
bare and monotonous. 1t has been
said in songs, essays and bromide
poetry. Those who have not enough
originality to get up some fresh con-
ceit retail it in print or in converse
ton as though it were new discov-
cry. I have no doubt that the anti
quarians will find on the tablets on
the second city under Babylon some
thing about "Katy did and Katy
didn't"
AS a matter of fact, nothing of the
sort occurs. The katydids carry on
no dispute. After listening to them
very carefully / am ready to take my
oath that they are unanimous. Every
mothers son of them and daughter
likewise says "Katy did," 1t is a
chorus of affirmations. There is not
a discord of negation in it. That is
what gives the charm to the song. 1t
is only man who argues or disputes
in words. If animals have any mis-
understandings, there is but little
talk on the subject, but fight or a
foot race at once. Man, however,
lifts up his voice and contends by the
day, the year and the century. And
it was in the effort to find some other
living thing that INDUCED in the same
futile and discordant habit that caused
him to fasten this libel on the inofen-
sive katydid.

THE GIRL WHO sNUBs.

Says the Atchison Globe. "There
is a girl of "a in Atchison who snubs
her whole family. There may be
more like her, but she is the only one
we know of. She snubs her mother
because she thinks she knows more
than her mother. She snubs her ia
ther because he does not wear dress
suit and go to parties, though proba-
bly if her clothes cost him less he
might afford to. She snubs her
Younger brothers and sisters. They
do not dress we'll. She forgets that
their share of the good things has
always been given to her because she
is the oldest. We wish some one
would tell her that instead Of snub-
bing her family her family should
really snub her. She is good
hearted girl and we believe it would
do her good"

STORM KING.

The Highlands are not as high as
some mountains, and yet they are
tall enough to bump their heads
against the clouds. Storm King does
this SO often that he has become a
local barometer. Whenever he is
clear the weather will be the same,
but when the clouds gather like a
frown on the brow of the old noun
tain look for trouble. This very hu-
man quality is what gave his royal
majesty the name of Storm King.
Prior to that rechristening he was
called Butter Hill. Irving tells how
he came by that label SO much better
than any of the rest of us can hope to
do that it is idle to repeat the tale.
In brief, it is that certain man, car
rying firkin of butter, was chased
by Indians. Painting g'his way through
the stones and underbrush TO the top
of the mountain and finding his foes
constantly gaining on him, be delib-
erately sat down on his butter frkin
and slid down the almost perpendicu-
lar side of the mountain to the rivers
edge. This was not making blazed
trail, but creased trail. When he
reached the bottom there was nothing
of the frkin except one or two nails
in the tub, but the man escaped.
In the same way Bull Hill, now
made more fashionable and dignifed
as Mount Taurus, got its name from the
fact that bull jumped over the noun
tain and broke its neck. Anthony's
Nose was so called from a man whose
nasal protuberance was the wonder of
the region. Naturally enormous, this
organ had been increased by thirst
like that of Rip Van Winkle and by
a choice assortment of carbuncles.
Storm King stands by the side of
Gro nest and is the last of the High
lands on the west shore. At its foot
nestles the village of Cornwall, where
N. P. Willis and E. P. Roe wrote in
the old days and where Amelia Barr
and Julian Hawthorn still sojourn
when the mood strikes them. But
the old mountain offers no such brave
front to the people in Cornwall as he
does to US across the river. Here we
look always on his rocky face as it
runs sheer to the waters edge. He
is imposing in all moods, but is most
so when crowned with clouds. Yet
he has his softer moments, and when
the sun sets over him, as it does each
night from my little platform, he be-
comes thing of glory.

WINTER CHEER.

The winter season is pre-eminently
the period of the supremacy of the
good cheer and enjoyment of the life
of the family circle; hence anything
that can be done to make it brighter
or more wholesome through the pur-
chase of games, good books and mag
azines and music in various forms is
justi6able and praiseworthy from the
very highest standard of essential. It
is of infinitely more importance-this
making of the freside helpful and
happy for the growing boys and girls
than the breeding of this or that
strain of blooded stock or the mixing
of balanced rations for milk and beef
production. A fine home, with all
its uplifting and molding influence,
is the greatest and most vital asset
which this country possesses today,
and for this reason everything posi-
Bile should be done by all members of
the home circle to make this as effec-
tive an influence as it is possible for
it to be.

A NEGLECTED INTEREST.

Because OF many duties indoors and
out which take up the parents time
there is tendency with the vast ma
jority to pay slight heed to another
interestofequal or greater Importance,
the district school. Of course it is
taken for granted by school patrons,
and is in most cases true, that COM
petent teacher has been hired who
will conduct the work in satisfactory
manner, but Notwithstanding this it
is better from the standpoint of teach
er, pupils and patron if the latter get
into the habit when opportunity Of
fers of visiting the schools in a help
full, friendly spirit with view to en-
couraging the teacher and getting a
first hand knowledge of conditions
which prevail there. Were this done
more generally by parents many seri-
ous misunderstanding might be
avoided between themselves d
teachers and a spirit of CO operation
developed which would be beneficial
from eVary point OF view. Parents
would understand better than they do
the trials and vexations which the
average teacher has to put up with,
teachers would come to know their
pupils better by being acquainted
with the parents, while pupils would
realize that an understanding existed
between teacher and parents and would
make it impossible for them were
they so inclined to distort or misrep-
resent incidents or conditions existing
in the school. In the event that the
teacher was seriously at fault in her
methods of government or really in
capable the knowledge that patrons
would get from visiting the school
frequently would enable them to take
such action as would be just and fair
to all concerned.

DooRMEE AT THE BANKS.

q good deal more than sign post.
From 9 A. M. until after banking
hours he stands there apparently for
the sole purpose of directing strangers
to the proper windows. But there is
good deal more that he does.
That is why at the larger banks
there are few among the doormen who
have not been policemen. Many of
them were sergeants or captains.
The chief duty of these men is to
watch faces and warn the tellers of
men they suspect. Most of them are
familiar with the faces of the old
crooks and are able to pick out the
new crooks almost instantly.
The knowledge of faces that some
of these doormen possess is remarka-
BILE. A story is told of George H.
Hewitt, who for thirty one years has
been the doorman of the First Ma
tional Bank, New York, which is
typical of all these men.
A man came in who fifteen years
before had been a depositor at the
bank. He had gone to Europe and
after that lapse of time had come back
with beard and fifteen years more
of life on his shoulders. AS soon as
he entered the bank Hewitt was there
with his greeting, Good morning
Mr.. Farr," as though the man had
been away but a week. There are
probably ten thousand men who in
the course Of a decade deal with the
First National. Hewitt knows every
one of them.
There is another duty that these
doormen perform. Often during the
course of the day one of the clerks is
sent out with large sum of money
to another bank. The doorman al
ways accompanies him to see that his
progress through the crowded streets
is not interrupted by some crook who
knows the value of the roll the clerk
carries with him.
The oldest bank doorman in New
York is George H. Hewitt of the
First National Bank. In the old days
the police force stationed men at many
of the larger banks. Hewitt was one
of these men. He has been there ever
since, now more than thirty one years.
His partner, John Budd, has been in
the employ of the bank for six years
and before that was on the police
force for many years.
The only police captain in this busi-
ness is Francis J. Kear. ofthe Central
Trust Company. Kear retired on his
pension, but instead of living in idle.
ness is to be seen every day watching
the faces that enter the trust COM
pany, looking for old acquaintance
in the crooked world.
Another old timer is Christopher
Smith, ofthe Merchants Bank. Smith
had the post at Broadway and Cham
bers street for eighteen years. There
was not prominent New Yorker in
the old days that he did not know.
One day President Grant was cross
ing the street there when truck
came tearing around the corner.
Smith grabbed the President just in
time and saved him from injury. The
General turned to him with humor-
Gus expression on his face and said :
sYou are the first man who ever
jerked me around like that"
After that whenever Grant passed
that way he had cigar for the Off
Ger on the post. Smith has tales to
tell of all the men of that day, Arthur,
Tilden, Tweed, Roscoe Conkling.
There is not a judge that he did not
know, nor mayor.

For "THE UNION"
SYMPATHY.
BY E. MAY CROSS


The greatest grief that haunts the human breast.
In my belief,
Is when loved one we have oft caressed,
A form which to our own we oft have pressed,
Is bowed in grief.
Deep in those clear blue eyes the trouble lies
Too deep for tears,
Our soul. in deepest yearning, loudly cries
For some swift healing balm; our spirit sighs
To calm those fears,
But If the trouble is beyond the power
OF human aid,
Can we do nought for them in this sad hour
But press the trembling hand that is in ours,
In silence laid ?
Yes. Our Father above sent to mankind
A precious gift;
And by 1t souls such sweet communion find
That trouble. worry, grief, vanish from the wind,
AS shadows lift.
1t is taste of Heaven here on earth,
Blest sympathy,
While it abounds, Father there'll be no dearth
OF loving hearts, which constantly give birth
To thanks to Thee.
