CPNSUMPTIO
A SONG OF
"Homething old sad something new,
Something borrow?.I and something bine,
Aad a silver slxr n : in her shoe."
Eft bridal attire had
been modified by the
superstitious mandates
ot thu quaint old
rhyme, her gown, of
coarse, was' new ; her
veil had decended from
her grandmother ; her
younger b r o t h e r
rendered unusually tender-hearted by
the thought of losing her-had so m red
the town in Eearch of an English six
pence, and there had been several
maidens benighted enough to vie for
the privilege of supplying the bor
rowed hankerchief, and the blue
ribbon she had tied about her arm.
The ribbon was cut into bits and di
vided among eager friends when the
bride changed her gown, and the
lucky lender of the handkerchief re
ceived back the talismanic article with
reverent joy. Gertrude stood ty,
smiling indulgently during the flurry
but making no attempt to share in it..
The last moment had come, and the
bridegroom was waiting at the foot of
the stairs, when the bride-standing
ready inher traveling dress, her white
attire strewn about the rpom-sudden
ly remembered something, an 1 snatch
ing up a white satin slipper from the
hearth rug, rescued from the toe a
round and shining article and pressed
it, laughing, into Gertrude's han 1..
"Here's the luckiest thing of all,
Gertie," she said, affectionately.
"0 Leila i Mowgood of you, dear !
I will never part with it," cried
Gertrude warmly, and slipped the
lucky sixpence into the palm of her
glove.
And then the good-byes were said;
the bride went off in a shower of rice ;
the guests began to fade awiy. Ger
trude, who had been a bridesmaid,
was urged to linger and discuss the
event with the ianiily, and she had
almost humored her own reluctance
to leave the flower decked house, with
its excite 1 and festive atmosphere, for
the dreariness of the December day
outside, wheo she discovered that Bob
Norman bad been atke.l to linger, too.
That altered the matter.
"In?leer*, I mustn't steal another
minute," she assured Mrs. Vierhng
awkwardly.
She sighed as she took a last glauco
at the mirror -which refieoted brown
and wistful eyes in a piquant face
aglow with color, and a dainty pins
gown and an old white cloak-but she j
was unnecessarily stifl with Mr. Nor
man when he handed her into the car
riage. She relier ted with a little
shiver, as the door wai closed upon
her, how long that carriage had been
waitingaud what a bill she would ka*0"
to pay for it. But she had dSVer mined
that that day should ?he 'nije tjie ci?j
times, be timeswhe-? oarriagcs ^
?- TJLVto and pretty pink
i gowns ranked as necessities instead of j
nnwarrautable luxuries. And she bad
had ber wish. It had been the cul
mination of all the delightful week's
[ during which her position as one of
Leila Vierling's bridesmaids had
i brought her many unaccustomed
pleasures. Amiable friends and rela
i ti ves had entertained the bridal party
with breakfasts and dinners, dances
and theatre boxes, one following fast
upon another until life was just a
whirl of gayety with only a single
thing to remind her of this work-a-day
world. That drawback had been
Mrs. Vierling's manifest intention of
indulging her kindly propensi'y 'or
match-making, with Gertrude and Mr.
Robert Norman for her victims. Ger
trude had been quite innocent at ?rst,
though she had won iered somewhat
that Mr. Norman so frequently ap
reared on the evenings that Leila had
begged her tb oome up aud talk over
wedding arrangements. And at last
the truth forced itself upon her. For
the same thing happened at all the
festivities-that he sat next her at ta
ble, that he was left to hold her cloak
at the theatre, that be was given a
thousand opportunities of devotiog
himself to her, and no ohance of de
voting himself to anybody else. Thp
knowledge had caused her agonies of
shame and embarrassment ; end fear
that Bob Norman might think her a
willing party to these maneuvres made
her so stiff, so awkward and so whim
sical in her treatment of him that she
secretly wondered at the good humor
with which he continued to carry out
Mrs.Vierling's arrangements. She, for
her part, did everything to upset
them. She spent fewer eveniags at
the Vierling's; she insisted on hurry
ing away if Mr. Norman appeared
there ; and when it came to wadding
rehearsals-whioh. tho suspected had
been multiplied solely to give that
eligible young man more opportuni
ties of escorting home herself-she'
sored a point by seizing upon Leila's
brother and, by skillful flattery, in
ducing that unsuspicious youth to be
her companion to and from the
ohurcb. She strove all the harder for
these small victories because she was
miserably conscious of the faot that if
matters had been different, if Mr. Nor
man sought her oat, of his own
accord, it would-well, it would havo
been very pleaaan' There had been
a time when suoh attentions from him
had filled her with other feelings.
That was in her first season "out,"
when she was nineteen, and, as people
said, so pretty, and he was a promis
ing college lad, with a delightfully in
fectious laugh, and high ideals and a
perfect grasp of the waltz step-an
ensemble which Gertrude then consid
ered satisfactory. They had danced a
good deal together at that time, bu?
since, until that present fall, had seen
little of each other. For the loss of
her mother had caused ber retirement
from society next year, and after th?t
came the crash of her lather's busi
ness and his death, which left hu
daughter with no resource but their
own powers; abd Gertrude had
dropped out of the gay, delightful
world she bad scarcely learned to
know, and bad been for five years only
a struggling, patient, neivous little
mutic-teacher, meekly thankful now,
at twenty-sir, that i-he could earn
enough for two, and keep Kitty in
school until the child was MI ?lie ie n t ly
learned to impart thc m varies of
grammar aud geography to younger
.atudeuts. Bo' ert Norman, meantime,
had liuished college, and spent two
S SIXPENCE.
yean abroad, and had lately come
home, eager and confident, to fulfill
his duties as a prosperous citizen. It
was only through Mrs. Vierling's
planning that he and Gertrude had
met again. Their days of meeting
were over now, Gertrude thought,
stifling another sigh. Her brief play
time-and she permitted herself to
sigh at this-waa over too. The wed
ding was a thing of the post ; she had
bad her little hour of happiness ; she
had looked so yonugand pretty in her
bridesmaid's dress, that Bob Norman
might almost have been glad to como
and talk to her even if Mrs. Vierliog
hadn't managed it-but henceforth she
must think of her pupils and of her
practicing and of showing a cheerful
face to Kitty, who ?ras nodding eagerly
from the window of their flat as the
carriage drew np at the door. Ger
trude hurried upstairs and Kitty
helped her off with her things in the
modest parlor, where the fading fur
niture formed a giariDg contrast to the
aggressively new wall paper. Ger
trade reproached herself for noticing
this dismal fact ; it wonld never do to
let Kitty guess her state of mind.
Therefore, she shook herself mentally
and plunged into a lively account of
the morning's festivities. Kitty list
ened, revolving abont her sister, and
deriving mach amusement from an
account of Leila's charms. Gertrude
pat tho luoky sixpence into a E&fe
cor Der of her shabby little purse, and
set about getting sapper-for the
afternoon had flown. She and Kitty
hud wedding cake for dessert, and she
assented to Kitty's suggestion that
they should sleep with some ander
their pillows, lt was unreasonable of
Gertie, after tempting fate in that
manner, to be vexed at dreaming of
the wedding and of Robert Norman's
face, so downcast as he said goodbye.
She threw away her cake next morn
ing, resolved to have no more of that
nonsense. The episode was indeed
finished, but she was not as glad as
she mi ;ht have been, to remember,
that after the distant way she had
parted from him, there was no danger
of Mr. Norman's venturing to seek
her company thereafter. Unfortun
ately, though she didn't see him,
there were oircumstinoes which kept
the thought of him before her; for
he had gained prominence in certain
attempts at improving the oity politics,
and a speech of his at a reform club
iiauquet wasbeing vigorously discussed
iu the newcpapers. It was, perhaps,
not so much a sign that the speech was
good, as that times-from thju^oui-"
nahstio point of view-y?&r?uM' but
Gertrude did notj^aifs?that fact and
assured her^alp'that few men were so
It was three weeks after the wed
ding, and Gertrade was harrying
across the centre of the city on the
way home fr sm her last lesson. Snow
was falling and melting as it fell, and
the exertion of carrying two big roi13
of music and of holding ap her skirts
from contact with the muddy pave
meats bad ad dod to the fatigues
engendered by the musical vagaries of
an unusually stupid pupil. She was
exasperated at herselt for stopping at
a news stand because she caught a
glimpse of Bob Norman's name on a
front column headline, bat she hadn't J
strength of mind enough just then to
'resist the impulse. Her weakness was
punished, for as she tried to And a
penny, her chilled fingers fumbled the
purse,which tipped sideways, allowing
a bright bit of silver to escape and
roll across the pavement. Gertrude
started after it, with a little cry of
distress, but someone ehe started too,
and in a second Mr. Normau came
forward, lifting his hat, and holding
Leila's gift in his other hand.
"Ol thank you so much," said Ger
tiude breathlessly, trying to arrange
her burdens. "It's my lucky six
pence. I wouldn't have lost it for
anything."
"Awfully glad to see you. Never
thought of meeting you here," said
he, his face beaming.
"I've just gotten through my les
sons," said Gertrude-very primly,
because she felt O? rtaia he knew why
she'.! bought that paper. She shook
hands because he so plainly expected
it, but when he essayed to talk a little
farther, and would nave commenced
by asking nows of the bride, her em
barrassment increased with the
thought of that wedding day, and she
abruptly cut him short, remarking
coldly that she must harry, and, hav
ing bowed stiffly, hastened on. straight
through a mud-puddle which com
pleted the rain of her poor little
shoe?. She had not gone half a block
before she asked herself why she had
done it ; he was talking to her then of
his own accord and she need not have
been so disagreeable. Well, all was
certainly over now. He wonld never
try to speak to her again, and she was
very tired, and her feet were wet, and
it was absurd to pretend to herself
that this was snow melting on her eye
l&siics
"Miss Wilbur 1 Miss Gertrude I"
sounded suddenly behind her and she
turned, winking away the snow flakes,
to behold Mr. Norman, Hushed from
fast walking, holding ont that lucky
sixpence in a well-gloved hand. "I
forgot to give you this alter all; it's
very stupid in me," bo began, rather
formally, and then, as she tried to
ehilt her music rolls, he took them
geutly from her.
"Let me carry them for you-I'm
going this way," he said in quite an
other tone; for he hal eeen those tell -
tnle lashes and it occurred to him that
she had been abrupt only because she
was troubled cr tired.
He took possession of her news
paper, too, in tbe most matter-of
course way in the world, and pro
ceeded to ask her questions about the
coin, he held. And Gertie, in the vigor
of her penitence, expia nod in the
friendliest manner, and they laughed
together over the superstition. And
then they talke I and laughed about
other tbinsrs. He remtuded her of
thu first dance they had had and sho
let him persuade her to remember it,
and they walked away past the pl nc J
where she sho dd have taken the oar,
before either of them noticed.
He even dared, after a bit, to touch
on Leila's prenuptial festivities, and
to hint that' he lelt grateful to Mrs.
Vierling for the frequent aid she had
lent his wishes, and having received
this aseuranoe, Gertruds allowed bin
to start what subjects he pleased
They walked on and on, as the i airy
tiles say, and feeling quite as thi
fairly tale prince and princess used
until it was needless to take a ea
at all, on discovering which foo
they wondered greatly over thei:
absence of mind. Soon after
absorbed in a discussion of mn
no and of Gertrude's pupils, the]
f trolled some two blocks past her homi
and retraced their steps in mud
confusion. Mr. Norman could no
possibly accept her invitation to enter
but he so far forgot good form as t<
stay seme time talking on the entra?e?
steps. Gertrude should have beer
very tired and hungry, but she wasn't,
when at last he said goodbye. Ever
after that he lingered.
"I haye your luck yet," he sud,
looking down with a strange shyness
at the sixpence in his hana, and then,
with a sudden desperate "plunge ;
"Gertrude, won't yon trust your luck
to me for always? Won't jon-"
No one has ever learned what else
he said, though Kitty tried hard lc
make Gertrude tell.
However, another bride wore thal
sixpence in her shoe a few months
later, when Mrs. Vier ling insisted on
giving the quiet wedding breakfest.
And Gertrude, sad to be recorded,was
much less magnanimous than ?tila
had been, for she made quite a favor

the head with a rope and let over thc
cliff inte the den, when all at once the
bear seized the dog by the throat
killing him instantly. Then anotbel
dog was lowered in the den, and as th
bear made a rush for tho dog Stevi
shot the bear between the eyes, slight

he ran a long pole into the den, ant
as the bear made a rush for the monti

this shot being fatal. About this tim?.
Dehart felt that he did not want anj

Tie First Snow.

That drop from God's hand in the lives of
men;
Far off the rumblings down the brooding
glen
Ot the last loaded wagon reaches the ears;
blurr'd as a pictured scene we see through
tears.
The bleak hills loom-beyond the cheerless
fen
The hermit owl's hoot eohoing; and thea

Beneath the snow the mountains' rugged
heads,
As the low bosom of the valley, rise
As smooth and soft as moon-blea^hei daisy

That baro thelr.bosoms to the summer skies;
Becallieg the white peace of death that
spreads
And shuts all troubles from the wearied

Whose Ills are slight compared
enemy reveals.
So wa shun the melancholy whu
less boughs disclose,
And we hail the days of autumn, when tn*
flies
get
froze.
Tis std to see the flowers fade as thev ars
wont to do
We'd bk* to keep them working night and
day the whole year through;
We miss the artless songsters who made
merry in the tree,
We long for the companionship of butterfly
and ben.
But, in spite of all our losses, there's a brac
ing sense of joy
In our knowledge of our triumph over crea
tures that anncj;
And we vow that there is nothing, as we set
tle for n d<iz*>,
Like tho good old days of autumn, when the
flies
get
froze.

So long it has knocked, now loud, now low;
Hast thou thought what lt means by knock

No. ohlld, 'Us a Hve'y little beF..
The dear God's girt, who lovos thee well.
On the door of the soul by Him 'tis hung,
And by His haud it still is rung,
And He stands without and waits to 3ee
Whether within He will welcome be.
And still keeps knocking, lu hop-'s to win
The weloome answer: "Come in! come In!"
Bo knocks thy heart now, day by day,
And when its strokes have tiled away,
And all Its knockings on earth are o'er,
It will knock itseir at heaven's door:
And stand without, aud walt and seo
Whether within it will welcome be;
And hear Him say: "Come, denrest guest!
I found in thy bosom a holy rest.
As thou bast done, be it done to thee;
Come into the joys of eternity!"

A Remarkable Will.
LaPorte, Ind., has several citizens
tvbo are beneficiaries of a very re
markable will made in Germany over
100 years ago. A wealthy man named
Federman died, and by will left all
bis property in trust with the Gcvern
? ment, the interest to be distributed
i among his descendants by a soit of a
i lottery Boheme. AU the descendants
to the remotest generation are re
quested to send in their names with
. proof of their heirship. These names
are put into a box duly sealed and
i guarded, and in July of each year
twelve names aro drawn. Barney
Kramer's wife ia one of the descen
dants, and two of his children have
drawn over $100 each in this novel in
heritance. Mrs. Isaac Kramer is one
of the heirs, as Federman was au unole
of her mother, but she has never
drawn anything. There are several
other descendants of Federman in La*
Porte, but none but the Kramer chil
dren have been fortunate enough to
get their names on the liet. The first
intimation the Kramer children had
of their good fortune was a letter 'J?
faining a draft for the money.-In
