you are determined to throw away your
money in this manner, you will have to re-

your letters to the officers of the Company

were a couple of frolicsome youths,
ready for any sort of mischief. Bed
time came, and all hands retired. But
the husband could not sleep. Whether
it was because the motion of the cars,
the noise, or the novelty of the situa-
tiOn, he could not tell, but, try as he
would, he could not sleep. At length
it occurred to him that he was thirsty.
The more he thought of it, the more
thirsty he got. So he called the porter,
who brought the ladder, and helped
him down. Now, while he was gone
for the water, one of the "boys" step
ped out of bed and shifted the ladder
so that it rested against the berth in
which the ancient maiden was sleeping,
and then returned to his bed to note
the result. In moment or two the
husband returned, and crept quietly up
the steps, anxious to make as little noise
as possible SO as not to waken his wife.
The occupant of the berth, thus rudely
intruded upon, awoke with start, and
screamed. The husband, suppesing it
to be his easily frightened wife, tried to
reassure her, and said, ''It is only me-"
"Only you, you old scoundrel," said the
venerable maiden, ''Tll teach you a

for help. Then he howled with pain.
Then his wife, awakened by the noise,
discovered where her husband was, and
raised her voice in lamentation, heap
ing reproaches upon her faithless
spouse. Then the passengers all got
up, and demanded an explanation of
the cOmmOtion, and foremost among

Then the husband, covered with con-
fusion, and utterly unable to account
for what he had done, climbed down
from his perch, and skunk away to bed,
where he was soundly lectured for his
faithlessness. Altogether it was most
uncomfortable though ludicrous stu
alton, and the glances of defiance that
were exchanged between the wife and
the old maid all through the next day
were a study. The cause of all the
trouble leaked out, but it never reached
the ears of those chiefly affected by it.

We are too forgetful, as well as too

The big clumsy lad, who upsets his

and caressing, far more than he needed
it when he was a babe. Then, he re-
ceived kisses without stint, and was the
sovereign of the circle. The fondness
which hallOwed the cradle, the soft
compassion which was so ready in those
days, is still in the soul of the mother,
but she is often afraid to give it ex-
preston. The reserve which grad

wall, between parents and children,
is always to be deplOred. 1t is fire.

Baby ways are beautiful. The baby

want the baby to stay in this world,
without growth or development. What
sort of man or woman shall this little
one be in the future? Strong or weak,
full or empty, large and liberal, or
small and churlish, a friend or an alien ?
Under God, the answer to this, rests
mainly with fathers and mothers. There
cannot be too much love and patience,
blent with authority, in the training of
the elder children.-COngregationai8t.

just few words, but they blinded
The brightness all out of day;
just few words, but they lifted
The shadows and cast them away
Oh the pain of the wounds,
Of the harden'd words sting;
Oh the balm and the brightness
That kind ones will bring.
Only frown, but it dampen'd
The cheer of dear little heart;
Only a smile, but its sweetness
Check'd tears that were ready to start,
Sullen frowns-how they chill,
Happy smiles-how they lure
One to smile, one to raise,


One to kill, one to cure.
Oh that the rules of our living
More like to the golden would be
Much oh ! so much more of sunshine
Would go out from you and me.
Less profession, more truth


In our everyday life,
More Justice, then surely,


Lighter hearts and less strife.
For better and kinder we all mean to be,
But there's lack in the thinking of both you an

greenback, the man who receives it must
have delivered to the government for the

therefore, represents the value deposited
with the government by the holder, and as
this value deposited with the government
was for the benefit of all the people, every
person in society becomes debtor to the
holder, and by unanimous agreement ex-
pressed and recorded in the legal tender
act, every member of society is bound to
redeem it in anything he may have to
spare, or that the holder may desire in

fectly assured that Rowell was really coming over

Offering $4,000 for that week. also agreeing to pay
the help, gas and heating, which amounts to about
500. making in all about $500 Tne offer
was refused and the price fixed at s7,5OO
The matter rested for day two. and, finding that
there was little or no prospect of coming to an

obtain the American Institute. That building is at
present leased to Mr.. Plimpton. who offered to let
them have it for a fair rent provided they removed
his fixtures and put them back in good condition
after the walk was over Before closing for the In
stitute Mr. Kelly thought he would make final offer

Vanderbilt replied that $4,000 the lowest figure
he would accept Consequently the walk will in all
probability take place in the American Institute.

So a few hours afterward
there was Il very bitter par
ting under the Oaks in Bruce
Park. Lloise WAS almost
shocked when it was over
In her heart she had only in
tended to frighten Harry but
her lover had taken the pro~
posals too seriously, and
things had been Said that she
could not unsay. At first, in
deed, Harry had laughed at
Miss Ethel's doubts Of him,
and his laughter had pro-
voked Eloise. She did not
like the thing treated as a
joke. 1t WAS a very serious
matter, and she did not see
how Harry conld laugh at the
idea Of not seeing ber for
eleven mOnths.'


For eleven lnnaths was the
time she had fixed upon as
the limit Of her lovers pro-
bation. In eleven months
she would be of age, and cold
claim her small fortune. If
Harry were true to her, she
would then be willing to be-
gin life with him on four
thousand dollars. Besides,
she had IL sllrcwd idea that if
she huuiortd her aunt thus
far, Miss Ethel would not
withdraw her favor.


Marry was indignent at
all such prudential considers
ations. He spoke very dis
respectfully of Bruce Park,
and declared lie would not
say 'Ibank YOU for every
acre of it, and the cid wood>
ell mansion thrown in, and
that the eleven months was
an eternity; they might just
as we'll say good bye forever.
Then Eloise argued that it
WAS very we'll for "a man to
talk OF living or two thous~
and dollars IL year and each
othor's love. Men could get
society, ,and have pcoplespeak

they could afford one new

u wolnans friends depended
upon the condition uf her
wardrobe, and she wondered
if even Harry's love could

dress and one~button kid

Harry was sure she would
make any dress look elegant;
and Eloise SAID, angrily, He
Easyery absurd, and thought
so too. So the end of all was
that Harry bade her farewell
till the fifth Of the following
June, and that with many
tears and protestations, they
finally began their self-im-
posed trial Of each others f.
deity.


The next mornings paper
announced the sudden depart
ure of Mr.. Harry Torrens, for
New York, on business like
ly to detain him some months
and Eloise was angry enough
at the information. She had
hoped Harry would try again
to convince her of the folly
of the parting, and she was
determined at this interview
to be convinced.
