Care and pain Fare but ill in summer's reign. When the hills are wrapped in sheets, When the snow whirls on the leas, And the icy-fingered trees Sparkle in the moon's cold light When the clouds in the long night Weave a pall for the dead year. And the keen wind hurls its spear Right at every one it meets, Then my heart is never sad, For I think of breezy spring, And the joys that it will bring Of the robins on the lawns Piping in the dewy dawns. -W. F. Smyth, in Scribner. {etlee_tV an. Saved by. a Child. 0 It was commencement at G - College. The peolc were pour ing into church as I entered it, rather tardy. Finding the choice seats in the center of the audience room already taken, I pressed forward, looking to the right and to the left for a vacancy. On the very front row of seats I found one. Here a little girl moved along to make room for me, looking into my face with large gray eyes, whose brightness was softened by very long lashes. Her face was open and fresh as a newly-blown rose before sunrise. Again and again I found my eyes turned to the rose-like face, and each time the gray eyes moved, half' smiling ito mReet mine. Evidently the cbild was ready to 'make up' with me. And wvhen, with a bright smile, she returned my dropped andkerchief and I said 'Thank you !' we seemed fairly introduced. Other persons., now coming into the seat, crow ded me quite close up) against the little girl, so that we soon felt very well acquainted. 'Tfher.e's going to be a great crowd,' she said to me. 'Yes,' I replied ; 'people always like to see how schoolboys are made into men.' He&r facee beamed with pleasure and pride as she said: 'My brother's going to gradu ate ; he's going to speak ; l've brought these flowers to throw to him.' Thoy were not gleenhouse f'av oites ;julst old-fatshioned domestic fbwer's. such as we associate with the dear' granud-mothers ; 'but' I thought, 'they will seem sweet and beautiful to him for little sister's sak e.' 'That~ is my brother,' she went on, pointing with her nosegay. 'The one with the light hair ?' I asked. -Oh, no,' she said, smiling and shaking her head in innocent re proof ; 'not that homely one,- with red hair ; that bandsome one with brown wavy hair. His eyes look brown, too ; but they are not they are dark-blue. There! be's ot his hand up to his head now. You see him, don't you ?' in an eager way she looked from me to him, and from him to me, as if some important fate depended upon my identifying her brother. '1 see him,' 1 said. 'He's a very good-looking brother.' 'Yes, he is beautiful.' she said, with artless delight ; 'and he's so ood, and he studies so hard. He has taken care of' mc ever since mamma died. Hero is his name on the programme. He is not the vaditorian, but he has an hon or, for all that.' I saw in the little creature's fa miliarity with these technical col lege terms that she had closely idntified herself' with her broth c' s studies, hopes and successes. 'He thought, at first,' she con. iIIu, 'tha~t he would write On nIthe 'Romance of Monastic Life.' Whbat a strange sound these long words had, whispered from her childish lips! 11er interest in he. bhern's work had stamped them on the child's t nemorya -d to her they were ordinary things. 'But then'Tshe went on, 'he de cided that i c would rather write oni 'Historical Parallels,' and he's ,t a real good oration, and he -avs it beautifully. He has said it to me a grreat many times. I 'nist know it by heart. Oh ! it begins so pretty and so graud. This is the way it begins,' she added, encouraged by the interest she must have seen in my face: 'Amid the permutations and con binations of the actors and the forces which make up the great kaleidoscope of history, we often find that a turn of Destiny's hand' 'Why, bless the baby!' I thought, looking down into her bright, Droud face. I can't describe how very odd and selfish it did seem to have those sonorous words roiling out of the smilling infantile mouth. Thu band, striking up, put an end to the quotation and to tbe confidences. As the exercises progressed, and approaclied nearer the effort on which ali her interest was con centrated, my little friend became excited and restless. Her eyes grew larger and brighter, two deep-red spots glowed on her cheeks. She touched up the flow ors, manifestly making the offer, hig ready for the shrine. 'Now, it's his turn,' she said, turning to me a face in which pride and delight and anxiety seemed about equally mingled. But when the overture was played through, and his name was called, the child seemed, in her eager, ness, to forget me and all the earth beside him. She rose to her feet and leaned forward for a better view of her beloved, as Le mounted the speaker's stand. I knew by her'deep breathirig that her heart was throbbing in her throat. I knew too, by the way her brother. came up the steps and to the front, that he was trembling. The hands hung limp; his face was pallid, and the lips blue as with cold. 1 felt anxious. The child, too, seemed to disce.ro that things were not well with him. Something like fear showed in her face. He made an automatic bow. Then a bewildered, struggling look came into his faice, then a helpless .look, and then he stood staring vacantly, like a som nambulist, at the waiting au dience. The nioment of painful suspense went by, arid still he stood as if struck dumb. I saw how it was ; he had been seized with a stage-fright. Alas ! little sister ! She turned her large, dismayed eyes upon me. 'le's forgotten it,' she saidI. Then a swift chauge camne into her face; a strong determined look ; and on the funeral-like silence of the room broke the sweet, brave, child voice: 'Amid the permutations and combinations of the actors and Ithe forces which make up the great kaleidoscope of history, we often find that a turn of Destiny's hand' Ever-ybody about us turned and looked. T he breathless silence; the sweet, childish voice ; the childish face ; the long, unchild like words, p)roduced a weird effect. But the help had come too late; the uniihappy brother was already staggering in humiliation from the stage. The band quickly struck up. aud waves of lively Imusic were rolled out to cover the dfat. I gave the little sister a glanc( in which I meant to showv the in tense sympathy I felt; but she di not see me. Her eyes, swim ming with tears, were on her brother's face. I put my arme around her. She was too ab. sorbed to heed the caress, and before I could app)reciate her pur pose, she was on her way t( the shame-stricken young mar sitting with a face like a statue's, When he saw her by his side te set faice relaxed, and a quick mist "amne into his eyes, Tbc' young men got closer together, tc make room for hier. She sat don besid him, haid her flowerf on h:s knee, and spliped her hand in 1hi. I could not keep my eyes fromrl her sweet, pitying face. I Saw her whisper to him, he bending a little to catch her words. Later I fbnnd out that she was asking him if he new his 'piece' now, anc that he answered yes. When the young man next or the list had spoken, and while thc band was playing, the child, t< tho brother's great surprise, mad< her way up the stage steps, anc pressed through the throng o protessors and trustees and dis tiagnished visitors, up to the col lege president. 'If you please, sir,' she said witl a little courtesy, 'will you and thi trustees iet my brother try again lie knows his piece now.' For a moment, the presider stared at her through his gold-bow ed spectacles, and then, apprecia ting the child's petition, he smile( on her, and went down and spok to the young man who had failed So it happened that when th band had again ceased playing, i was briefly announced that Mi would now deliver hi6 orn tion-'Historical Parallels.' 'Amid the permutations an combinations of the actors and th forces which make up the grea kaleidoscope of history.' Thi the little sister whispered to hit as he rose to answer the summorn A ripple of heightened and es pectant interest passed over th audience, and then all sat stonc still, as though fearing to breath lest the speaker might again tak fright. No'dangcr! The hero i the youth was aroused. He wen at his 'piece' with a set purpose t conquer, to redeem himself, an to bring the smile back inte th child's tear-stained face. I watel ed the face during the speakinc The wide eyes, the parted lip( the whole rapt being said tba the breathless audience was fo: gotten, that her spirit was moi ing with his. And when the address was ent ed with the ardent abandon c one who catches enthusiasm i the realization that her fightin down a wrong judgment and cor quering a sympathy, the effe< was really thrilling. That dign fed audieuce broke into rapti rours applause ; bouquets intende for the valedictorian rained like tempest. And the child who ha helped to save the day-that on beaming little facee, in its prid and gladness, is something to b forever remembered. (ISt. Nicholas for June. A young man who had long an dearly loved a beautiful girl a Warren avenue besought her r cently to name the happy da: which she did with such fond, r luctanit, amorous delay that would hardly have been thougl that she had made up her min what the date was to be mnoi than two months before, so Soc as she saw that he really meat biz.

Tb; very night the young man canr with a rope-ladder an ample cloal and a double-barreled marriag license. and stole his bride awa: and they were m-lide one at ti. West Side church. The youn w xife~ then said to her husbanc "Algernon, my father behav< towna von as mean as all ge 11t ; sil lie was my mother's husband, and we ought to have some defurence f0r im. so let us go to him and tell him we are wedded, and ask his blessing.

I suffered his previous indigni ties because he was the hoary h.aded author of your being, but now he is only my baid headed (ld father-in-law, and I won't stand it, if he is three tiMCS as old as 1 am." Accord inrly they went home, and when they got there and were excitedly feelingr for the bell-pull, the olc. man opened the door and said "Come in, come ii).-how is th< b!ushing bride, oh ? Bless you my children.- Now, by the tim< we have partaken of a bottle o: champagne which is in the ice-bo: the back will be here to conve) t you down-ton n, or to any railroat depot you may be pleased to in dicate." They followed the ol< man into the parlor, like peopi in a dream. "I was afraid once, he said cheerfully, "when I say t Matilda coming down that ladde: that the durn thing would break -for she's full sixteen ounces t< the pound, Matilda is,-and drivi all my new rosebushes and tulip into the ground. Why on eartd didn't you, when you were com e pelled to fee from my wrath elope out of the front door, lik Christians ? I left Matilda's dur t geon cell unlocked and I left th 0 front door ajar, and I went to tb d foot of the stairs and snored a e the top of my voice so as to giv j. you every flacility." "Do yo mean to say, venerable and rc spected sir," said his new mad son-in-law, "that you have ani have had [no objections to my pay in my addresses to youdag ter ?" "Never the least in th world," replied the old man, bean ing blandly on them ; "you at the son-in-law I should hav picked out of' millions, if 1 ha< been permitted to choose, an< even had I1 not been satisfied c your worth and sobriety I couli Dot have found it in my heart t drefuse to do what Matilda desire, ame to do." "Then, sir," exclaime the young husband, thinking th~ e perhaps he had married .into Sfamily having the hereditary tain of' insanity in the blood; "then sir, what did you give mec tb grand bounce for in such an ener getie .and inconsistent manner ? S"Because, my dear boy," said tb good old man, "1 saw that if I di you would instantaneously tak out a licnse and elope with th girl, and get married at an es pense of $6.50 borne exclusivel, by you, whereas if the marring took place in the ordinary cours of events I would have been stuc for a trousseau, anid dresses, an foes, and a dejeuner, and pr< sents and so on to the extent< a ~t least $2,500.

This morning a couple of miniers were seated oi. a bowlder aiong, side the road to Sutro, discussin;g the kicking powers of the mue. One bad just returned from Sutro and the other was on the way there. and having met near the rock they sat down for a talk. ;Have you quit over there ?' said the one who was east.ward bound. 'Yes.' 'Why?' 'Mules.' 'Fraid of 'ei ?' 'You bet. I saw one yesterday alongside an old boiler kicken' off the rivet-heads one by one. Never missed one, I was just goin' ol, shift, and when I saw the mule and heard there was more of"'em inside, I weakened and threw up my job. i've got a wile and three children dependin' on me, and 1 donl take no chances.' I 'The worst mule I ever saw,' said the other, 'was in Pioche some years ago. It was one I owned. One day it rubbed against some naiis sticking out of a post, and it turned square round and drove those nails in one by one, I using a single blow of the hoof with the iron shoe on for each nail. It never missed its lick and always drove 'em just into the head. Then he saw a few tacks on the pos', a little lower down, which were only half driven in, and ho drove them in, too, wjth light taps of the hoof, just as gen tie and easy as could be. One day a a man came along and set out a t can of nitro glycerine and giant powder. lie wanted to get the i mule to kick it and then get killed. I saw him about the corral with e the can aid knew what was up. , At first I was going to stop him, but then I thought if my mule was any kind of a mule at all he could take care of himself. So 1 just watched. Well, the mule saw the can and walking up smelt of it, and then squared himself for the kick. T' be man was sneaking l off, and just as the mule was going f to kick the can he caught sight of the feler and changed his posi tion so that his tail was toward the man. ie lifted his tail just Ilike he was takin' aim and let fly his right hoof. The can went fly in' through the air and hit the man square in the rear just as he was gettin' over a fence about a hun dred feet away. The thing ex ploded, and I never saw the man again. But next morning Pat eHolland came out in the Record iand said that the town had been evisited by a s;o wer of blood.' e'Mules are immense when they git rouse'd.' - 'You bet.'

A man on Centre avenue under took the other day to give his wife a healthy scare, so as to make her more ol:dient and agreeable in future ; so he put up a quarrel with her. and bonding up stairs, di,)POd IJS azur in some brick dust ard iat.r, w hich he had pre pared f t !b! oeeIsion, spilled some n:r o that awe insiingo coil'.piion ovOr thu floor, anl flung himself down with a crash, the briekint and water stained razor inl his hand. He waited eagerly to hear a frightful shriek ring through Ihe house, and to see a woman with an awful white face and great lainbent self-accus ing eyes totter up the stairs, gasp "Ily husband!" and go off into a set of hysterics in seven acts and tan tableaux. He was how ever, doomed to disappointment. His wife meandered slowly up stairs, remarking: "You pesky fool, you'll break your neck yet some of these days if you will in sist on putting both.legs into your trousers simultaneously," and when she opened the door and saw the horrible sight she said: "Well, 1 didn't think he had the courage and sense of decency to do it. However, I look well in black, a-nd it is a mercy I took up the bedJ-room carpets to-day and sent them to be cleaned." Then she called to the servant-girl, "Mi'ria, come here; your master has killed himself!" And when the girl came and said, "Hadn't I better run for the Doctor?-I think I see his left leg wiggle a little," the Spartan matron re plied: "No ; there's no use throwing good money after bad. I want you to see that I didn't kill him, and then run down to the Tribune office and tell them to send a reporter up here for a scoop on the other papers, and if you breathe a word of this to any one before the other papers have gone to press, I'll tell you, young woman, that you'll buy your raven tresses." Then she went down stairs, locking the door after her, after wondering whether the corpse would keep; and, after about twenty minutes of impatient waiting for her flinty heart to melt, the corpse had to give it up, and go pound on the door to be let out.-Chicago Tribune. ABOUT EDITos-Every editor. loves to have his friends, and pur ticularly his readers, call on him. They belong to the same family, as it were. But when you call to see the editor, don't stay too long. Editors are generally very busy in business hours. If you have a suggestion to make, or news to comnmunicate state it in the fewv est words possible. Don't offer any excuses, or indulge in a long preface to whbat you have to say. Blurt it right out ; tell the editor you wish him well, and bid him good-day. Editors dote on such men as that; they love to receive . calls from them. Don't argue with them-don't try to do it. They have no time for argument while at work. When you write to an editor for publication, make it short -boil it down. Pitch right into the middle of your subject, and be sure to stop when you are through. Editors a.lways like something fresh and original in the way of communications, arnd are especially fond of news. But the editor must always be the judge of what is worthy of publi cation. Of course, every writer thinks his own publication the best just as every mother thinks ber. baby the prettiest that was ever born. But the editor may be so stupid as to have a differ ent oninion. If so, it can't be heid Don't try to argue him
