And yet I fain would clasp that 'land, Would meet those eyes once more, One moment by thy side would stand, As I have stood of yore. They say the very tones that thrill'd My heart and dimm'd my eyes, Now, by the cold world's blighting chill'd, I scarce might recognize. And yet I long to hear thee speak, Repeat some by-gone strain, Although the charm I there should seek Werp listpn'd for in vain. I would not wish the years roll'd back, Could such a choice be mine, Nor falter in the onward track, Though sever'd far from thine. But pilgrims may from hard-womheights Receding homes survey, And give a sigh to past delights, Yet, sighing-turn away. For Sweet Charity's Sake. -0 BY &9IPN BRENT. -0 Christmas eve in New York. The busy crowds surged to and fro. Happy-faced children, warm ly clad, lingered at shop windows to look at the Cbistmas treasures so temptingly displayed therein. Luxurious carriages with spirited horses and glittering harness stood waiting before jewelry stores and toy shops, soon to roll borne laden with presents for many a pleasant surprise on Christmas morning. All seemed joyous and happy. Sorrow had almost shrunk away, only the few beggars still on the streets looked hungrier and more hollow-eyed than ever. Rex Danforth, artist, walked leiurely along the brilliantly lighted streets. It was dusk and the lamps were all burning, lend ing the enchantment of gaslight to the varied scene. Mr. Danforth syrveyed it all with cool, indifferent eyes. It was no new sight to him, for he had visited some of the fairest cities in the world; had studied all kinds of human faces, and now the sight of this eager, joyous life did not make his pulses throb any quicker than they were..wont to do, and they were very calm as a general thing. He was wesilthy, an artist from a pure love of art. lie was tall and fair, with a noble Saxon face, blonde beard and splendid dark, steel blue eyes, thirty years old, with every day of his age stamped on his proud face. He was a man well worth win ning as lover or friend. Snowflakes began to fail, noise lessly wrapping the world in a man te of the softest ermine ; soon the merry jingle of sleigh bells would fill the crisp air with their music. ir. Danforth ptgsed for an in stant to look at his watch, and a little trembling voice said: "Give me a *penny, for sweet charity's sake," A small figure stood at his side. Two eager black eyes were look ing int~o his; a little shivering beggar girl asking for alms. Rex. Danforth was not c;onsidered a very charitable man, that is he never sought out particular ob jcts of charity, but something in the pitiful, pleading voice touched his heart, and he said kindly : 'Who are you child ?' 'Lee Henslee.' 'Where do you live ?' ' don't live anywhere, now. 1 did live with my aunt but she is dead,' with a sob. A great throb of pity stirred Rex iDanforth's heart and he put out his hand and abruptly said : 'How would you like to come and live with me and be my little 'May 1, really and truly ?' 'Yes, really and truly,' with a smile. A look of joy unspeakable over spread the wan childish face. The pale lips of the child touched his hand in gratitude. Mr. Danforth's household was not very large. His maiden sister' was housekeeper, friend and com panion. Sh was older than him self and had been a most devote< worshipper at his shrine for mani years. In all the world thori was nothing so nearly perfect t< Miss Jane Danforth as her princel brother. Whatever he did or sai( was right with her, so when hi brought the elash-looking littlh biggar girl with him and said h< had adopted her, she made no ob jections but received her kindly It was fairy land to Lee. Th( luxurious rooms, brilliant lights and glowing fires made her rub hei eyes expecting to wake up anc find it all a dream. In the earlj light of Christmas morning Sir Danforth lnd her into his studio Standing.in this room that was sc nearly perfect in its appointments with walls lined with splendid pie tures, works of the greatest ar tist's the world has ever produced and xith rare statuary grouped it the corners and alcoves, the child'i face gre%i radiant and Rex. Dan forth was satisfied with his ward Mr. D a n fo r t h 's fashion'abl( friends assured him that Lc would become a great beauty, and that he was one of the best mer that ever lived. Away from hin they shrugged their shoulders and declared the little thing waf hideous, and wondered what coult have possessed fastidious Rei Danforth to adopt her. Mr. Dan forth! knew what his friendf thought, but smiled 'with serent indifference. When violets began to bloom the Danforth mansion was closed and its master and his sistei sailed for Europe, carrying Let with them. * * * * * * * Six years later, in the dream3 glow of a SepLember day, a shil steamed into New York harbor A tall man, a young girl, and i middle-aged lady stood on th4 dck, watching for the firs glimpse of familiar land marks. 'How good it is to be hom< again,' said Miss Jane Danforth with a smile of satisfaction, al they entered the carriage waiting for them. Mr. .Danforth, laughed. 'M3 dear sister, I did not know tha you were getting homesick.' Save the-few grave lines in hi face, Rex Danforth looked th same at thirty-six as at thirty The years had brought him fai and he stood with the few Amern can artists that could ',laim th< hift of genius. There was not an added threa< of silver in Miss Jane's hair, an< the placid face was unchanged. But see! who would recogniz< in that tall, graceful girl, the lit te waif of' former years ? I sweet face with a lovely scarle mouth, solemn black eyes, an< crown of ebon hair half sbading the broad brow. She was no strictly beautiful, but there was nameless charm in the earnes face that won more than a passing glance. She had never been to school Mr. Danforth and his sister wer< her teachers, and they were fulla repaid for their trouble. No gir could learn more rapidly than shi did, and young as she was, he mind was well stored wif;h usefa knowledge. She was seventeen Old friends were met and heart: hand clasps returned, and the Dan forths were soon as securely set tied in their old p)lace as if the: had never been absent. Lee was soon drawn into th circle of fashionable society. Thbos who iamembered her former lif chose to forget it now, and pai< their court to the ward and geires of Rex IDanforth with grea ardor. She was soon a belle, wit] scores of lovers, all of whom sb refused. There was one, howevei that wouldn't take no for an at swer, and persisted in his attct tions. The months passed rapidly an< Christmas eve came again. Re: Danforth sat facing the possibilit; o losing Lee for all time. H{e had never thought of thi before. Never dreamed of losin, her, till on the new Christmas ev whn Ralph Hawthorne camie t - him, and asked permission to win - Lee for his wife. The young man I was rich and a gentlemar, so: there could be no objection to him, and with a pain in his heart that few can ever feel, he gave his con r sent. l Then for once he laid down brush anl colors, and sat gazing out of the window with eyes full 11 of stern sadness, and lips closely compressed. His love was no light thing. It filled his heart and life. He bad never loved any Ovoman before, I and thought he would rather Lee 2 was dead than the wife of another. t Dusk came on, and Lee Hens- t lee sat in the warm, dimly lighted t Slibrary, thin ing so deeply that she did not hear her guardian's C step nor was she conscious of his f presence till a deep voice said : ,What are you thinking of Lee, f that you shold look so grave?' 'Of the Christmas eve six years ago, when I asked a gentleman for a penny and he gave me P I home." 'Unsuitable 'thoughts for this a evening.' C 'Why ?' 'Why haven't you just sent Ralph Hawthorne away distract edly happy, with the promile of t this little hand?' touching the N slender white fingers toying rest- I lessly with the leaves of a book I lying on the table by her side. 1 'You see I heard him leave just t now, and have come down to offer. my congratulations.' 'It is quite unnecessary.' 'What lyou haven't refused'him?' I 'Yes.' 'What are your reasons? He is a rich and handsome.' 'I didn't love him.' vThat is not necessary in this t progressive age.' 'Do you want me to marry, Mr. t Danforth ?' 'Yes,' smiling. 'Lee, come lere.' The words brought her back to i where he stood leaning against t the mantle piece. Lifting her c face in his baadz Rex said : 'Was that the only reason you t rejected Ralph ? I do want you 1 to marry, Lee, but not him or any I one else, but your guardian, Lee, i Lee, my dear little girl, I thought t this evening that I had lost you( fovever, but I havn't, my darling, have I?' 'Oh, no.' -He folded her close, and with< her head upon his breast told her 1 of his love and how near he had 1 come to losing her, as ho thought. At last he said : 'Do you love me above all the I world ? Remember I am very ex-< acting, and must have all or none.' i She walked to the window. Her heart was throbbing, and a red I glow burned in her cheeks. 'You have all, my guardian. Whom else have I to love but you?' LHe kissed the dear, frank lips and said : 'Thank God for my wife.' Rex Danforth has never re pented his charity. A. T. Stewart, the millionaire, 1 once came to the conclusion that I although advertising was a good thing as a ladder, it was of no great benefit to him, as his name sold the goods. As a t;est, one depart- I mont only of his establishment was advertised. Its business over- I topped that of the others so im mediately .and so largely that Mr. i Stewart concluded that to get the] full power of his name it must ap- I pear in printel's ink. His adver tising managers say 'from that< time he advertised more largely sthan ever in the papers.'-Scientific tAmerican. 3 Wise men are instructed byi a reason; men of less understand ing, by experience; the most ig - norant, by necessity, and beasts by - nature.1 I Trust him little who praises all;i him less who censures all ; and] r least him who is coldly indifferenti to all.1 S - - -- - - r All good thoughts, words and I e actions ar-e from the .celestial ' wrld. isellnwens.

"'You don't look well, Broad Priu,' said my friend Gubbs, as I tood looking at the monkeys in he Jardin d'Acclimatisation, about wo weeks ago ; 'I think a little ravel would do you good.' Gqbbg vas right. Nearly four months of ontinuous work had made me wish or a holiday; besides, everybody iho was anybody was departing rom Paris; so I thought I would ast take a run into Switzerland; lash through the mountains; dive a the Lakes; take a peep at the >ig Strasbpprg glo.c; goat dow he Rhine ; get a sniff at Cologne ; ee Brussels; run over to London; Irop in at Edinburgh and Glasgow; ake a sight at the Highlands and he Lochs; whip across the Chan tel ; take in Giant's Causeway and he Lakes of Killarney; and t4en2 vith a light he4r and a lighter locket, return to my post at the Ex >osition, and stay there contented y till the curtain rang down on he last day of October. My preparations were brief. Gubbs ras not troubled with much bag -age; neither was I. It is true, I Lad started life in Paris, a few hort months befQze, with a respect ble stock of collars, handkerchiefs, ocks, shirts, and such small ear, but the fraudulent returns of he average French blanchisseuse tad gradually sapped the founda ion of my supplies, so that w,hat vas once copsidere4 respeotible tuffing for a moderate sized valise, ras now easily disposed of in the iockets of my overcoat, in addition o a small parcel improvised in the rown of my hat. Shaking the dust of the Exlposi ion fr6m my feet, and commend nig my foreign correspondence to he care of the good angels-that. s, if the good angels ever have mything to do with 'Our Own Jorrespondent'-I jumped Qn the arly train, and started for Switzer and. Fontainebleau lay in my way, 0 Gubbs and I got off. I was lisappointed. The appearance, of his celebrated palace, seen from he outside, is anything but irn ressive. It has a dirty, neglected ~ort of air, like a place that had >een abandoned to the bats and the wls. Once inside, however, every hing is changed. The rooms are urnished with a lavish magnificence hat the eyes ache to look at. Gold, ilks, velvets, 'frescoes, tapestries, ain tings, carvings, statuary,. mo aics, and costly articles of vertu a,d ornament are around you verywhere. They are beautiful, rery beautiful ; and yet these tigs vere gathered together to feed the >stentatis pomp and .vanity of a iingle man, and they were wrung rom the toil, and the sweat, and the ears, and the blood of millions and nillions of men and wome~n and chil Iren, through ages and ages untold. [!he wicked extravagance of the past ;old the cause of the terrible Revo ution ; and it was with a feeling of elief, that the progress of the resent age had made a recurrence >f this thing impossible, that I urned my back on the palace of 'ontainebleau, and proceeded on ny way to the hills. High noon brought us to the fine ld city of Dijon, where a halt was nade for dinner. If I ever heard mything in my life, I distinctly ieard the guard sing out-'Forty ninutes for refreshments.' It is true, t was not in my mother vernaceu ar, but in substance it was plain as pike staff. Now forty minutes is nore than I usually allow myself mder the most favorable circum ;tances, so I sat down to that res ;aurant table and called for my ologna and Schweizer with a feel ng of beatitude rarely experienced y travellers in foreign lands. everal whistles blew, a number of >ells rung, but I quietly consulted ny regulator, and went for mya 3oonaa It was -excellenkt The donkey of which this was com pounded, I reflected, must have perishedin his youth. The Schwei zer, too, was much above the ave rage; and fin4lly pulling a cigar from my pocket, I Ly back in my chair with a feeling of bliss which made me imagine Paradise ,was not far off. For the first time I noticed that there was an air of uneartuly quiet on the inside of the depot. I looked out-every car had depart t ed. I bounced from the table like an india-rubber ball and rushed out, when I was seized by an officer who desired to know whether Monsieur r was going 'To Schweizerkase.' I e shouted, 'No, Switzerland!' strug- a gling to get away, when I dis- r -overed that the train had been gone half-an-hour. My overcoat was oone, one boot, my hat, four collars, e in indefinite number of handker 3hiefs, a travellers' guide, and sev- t 2ral other valuables. The telegraph was called into requisition. There was no other train for twelve hours, so, calmly resigning myself to my fate, Is d to take a look t at Dijon. T e buildings were old Pnd quaint, many of them, along a the principal streets, dating back t hundreds and hundreds of years. 8 It has its triumphal arch, too, t prected long before the oldest tri- Z imphal arch of Paris; and around the town are as lovely drives as can be found in any city in France. Near the outskirts of Dijon is # beautiful monument, eiected to 1 mark the spot where a devoted lit fle band of French soldiers made their last desperate stand against L the advance of the victorious Prus- t sians. It was a grand and heroic sacrifice. No prisoners were taken, y they all fell fighting to the last; t and to this Thermopyle of Dijon y the citizens come on the sweet sum mer evenings, tQ tell the p'roud ptory of her sons to the passing stranger, who, if they could not save their country from the invader, t at least knew how to die for her. Three o'clock in the morning 3 brought anoth:er train ; and just as the shadows of night were fall ing, I found myself entering Gene va. The scenery by the way had been surpassingly grand, some of the mountain gorges being magnifi cent beyond description. The day was stormy, and heavy masses of clouds lay on the summits of the ~ mountains. Occasionally a clap of thunder would seem to shake the very earth, and then it would roll and reverberate away if the distant mountains, $ill the sound was lost in a sort of hollow moan, miles and t miles away. My fellow voyager, besides my friend Gubbe, was a comfortable looking Dutchwoman, who had made some slight profi ciency in foreign tongues, and was determined not to. hide her light under a bushel.. At one point we passed a wild cleft in the moun tains, through which a foaming tor rent roared and seethed, and finally released itself frorm captivity by a desperate leap into the valley 1,elow. As we dashed by it I held my breath; there was something almost awful in the scene and its surroundings. Even Gubbs, whose mouth was seldom shut, was hushed. into momentary silence, when my Dutch friend, whom I had quite forgotten, gave me a poke in the ribs with the end of her blue cot ton umbrella, erxclaiming at the same time, in a voice like a cracked bassoon-'I say, you Misther! don't you dort dot dot vos poody ?' Just at that moment, when I was re fiecting on the probable consequen ces of murdering a Dutchwoman, a terrific clap of thunder came to my relief, and I indulged in the faint hope that some vagrant bolt mightr strike her. By this\ time we had reac'hed a wild pass, where beetlig cliffs towered over us thousands of feet. At one point a huge mass of rock hung almost suspended in the air, and it looked as though the hand of an infant could have launch ed it on the valley below. I was looking up in wonder, and had al most forgotten my late villainous interruption, when she broke in again, giving me another dig in the ribs with the point of that blue cot- C ton umbrella -'I say, Meester ! don't you dort dot dem vos 'poody sthones oop dare?t' I was choking.
