BY Miss Marie Nightingale
MY APRIL LADY,

MY APRIL LADY.
WI en- down the tair at morning
The sunbeams round her float,
Sweet rivulets Of laughter
Are building in her throat;
The gladness of her greeting
Is gold without alloy;
And in the morning sunlight
I think her name is Joy.
When in the evening twilight
The quiet book-room lies,
We read the sid old ballads,
While from her hidden eyes
The tears are falling, falling,
That give her heart relief:
And in the evening twilight.
! think her name is Grief.
A1y little April lady
~ Sunshine and OF sorrows.
She weayes the old Sprin- magic,
And breaks my heart IL flowers.
15lt when her moods are ended,
She nestles like g. dove:
Then, by the pain and rapture,
know her name is Love

 |. ''I wrote that,v interjected Mrs. Von Claussen rising to exhibit a picture hat fully two feet across. In a rap i'd explanation she said the action was against her former husband, William Francis Honan.
 "Who is Mrs. Won Claussen?' broke in Judge Greenbaum She's a very respectable little girl.'' answered the lady herself.
 While seeking to discover exactly what Mrs. Won Claussen wanted, the lady became so insistent that Justice Greenbaum threatened to commit her for contempt Then she declared that she had picked Greenbaum as the proper judge to consider her claim, because he was gentleman and would see that justice was done.'' The court said it would consider the case.
