Will yo'u be good ough to hand me that work aket?' John Carlyle sat looking at the retty creature, around whom the ve of his strong nature had been awined with fervor rare enough ithese matter-of-fact days. In istful perplexity. Shining au rn hair, parted away from a w, pearl-pure brow ; deep blue es, like the velvety petal of a ansy, and a month whose intense rimson reminded you of the in de leaves of a Lord Raglan rose, ho was by no means disagreeable look at, and Mr. Carlyle was uite sensible of the fact.

The clear January sky was jew ,led with frosty st,ars, and the sol mn old church clock bad just ~himed nine from its dim belfry, when he entered the bright room, vith it's mossy blue carpet and ngngs of azure Bilk, and Parian itatuettes, hidden by vases of vivid ~rimon roses. It was not, however, empty, as e had hoped and expected. Lieu. LOntJJ Armour stood in the mid die of the apartment, decided conscious of his fine new should< straps, and patronizing half dozen pretty girls. He nodd laughingly to Carlyle, and we on with the sentence which t new arrival had interrupted. 'Leap year, to be sure it And I may as well state at on that I'm ready to receive ai propositions you ladies may ha to make." 'Nonsense, Gilbert,' said Ma: Elphinstone, his cousin. 'Nonsense, eh? Well, I'm gli you consider it in that light don't. I think it's a great shar the girls don't avail themselves their privilege, when we men a ready with our blushes and tim glances.' He looked at Harriet Dean he spoke, half in earnest, hi jestingly. John Cailyle's eye fb lowed the direction of his,as by sort of fascination and saw ti rose tint mounting to Harriet cheek, and the purple blue ey bidden by their white iids. Ho long he stood there with a gidd pain surging through his brai and a chill at his heart, as if cold hand was grasping at i fibers, he did uot know; it migi have been five minutes or it mig] have been five hours; but he w, aroused by the breaking up , the little party, the sound of me ry voices and playful adieux.

Where's the ether ?' 'You want no ether ; he is total insensible.' Thie words fell like mneanlingle jangles of sound on Johnx Carlyl ear as he lay, one in a multitu of dying men, in a weather-beat old shed. The busy doctor a the kindshearted young cac made no impression on his fadi mind ; he heard what they said if they had -been talking of so1 one else. Ther~e was no volition, intellect. Life seemed ebbing aw from him as the sparkling ti goes creeping, creeping from i Ade. t ha stranded boat. ly All at once there came a sudden ,r- sharp, pain, as the surgeon's keer a instrument cleft the arm, and thei ad followed insensibility. nt *Ten to one he will die,' saic be the surgeon, indifferently, as b replaced the glittering tools is.

But the young cadei knelt down to fasteu the wrap re I pings, wondering in his secre heart if the time would ever com ry when he, two, would speak sc carelessly of a fellow-creature'f id life, God-given. -1 John Carlyle did not die, the ie grim old surgeon to the contrary of notwithstanding. re There had bean a glorious thun. id der-shower. Along the west hung heavy draperies of violet-black clouds, edged with dazzling fringei if of gold, while the blue zenith, smi I ling through its brief tears, seemed a literally to swim in liquid light. ie And from far-off apple orchards, 's pink with billows of tossing blos 3s som, and sunny slopes all enpur w pled with wild violets, came ud den sweeps of fragrance on the n, city winds, carrying the Wall a street jobbers and shriveled mon ts ey-makers back to the time when t they were boys, looking for the It first strawberry blossom under the is rosy canopy of the old apple trees, )f The fresh breeze, eddying into r. the wide open hotel windows, lifted the damp masses of hair on John Carlyle's wasted forehead, id as he sat in the easy chair beside a the casement, and passed its cool - fingers softly over his burning k temples, as if it fain would whisper. e 'Don't repine any longer! Look out on the glad blue sky, and feel - heaven's healing sunshine on your 3 cheeks.' As if man ever heeded nature's silent monitions! John Carlyle id was no exception to the general ? rule. 'A common private! Those were her very words,' he muttered to Y himself, with a faint crimson spot burning on his wan cheek-'and 11 crippled now for life! Ah it was r- well that I drew back into the hr shadow of the curtains when I heard her step in the corridor. L Why did they bring me here, of all places in the world? Must I drink the bitter cup of humiliation to the very dregs? They should have let me die that dismal night ie 'in the hospital when the ligature . slipped off and the red life-stream . drained slowly from the vital Ssources-that night when fever throbb~ed in all my veine, and I .; madly fancied I could feel her r tears dropping on my cheek. If I d had died-never waking from the delusion! But now a common private with only one arm!' t, He laughed bitterly as the perpet ir ally-recurring conviction pressed it itself upon his mind-a laugh that was almost a sob.

His forehead fell on her shoul. der; he was sick and dizzy with the flood tide of happiness.

'If it hadn't been leap year?' THE HOUSE THAT RUM BUILT. The Almshouse: This is the house that rum built. The Drunkard: This is the beast that lives in the house that rum built. Intoxicating Drink: This is the serpent in flowery guise, with art ful tongue and dazzling eyes, that welds the chain that binds the beast that lives in the house that rum built. The Grogshop: This is the mon ster who holds the rein over the serpent who welds the chain that binds the beast in cruel pain that lives in the house that rum built. The Beer Saloons: These are the demons of the land, who hold the monster at- their command, and to the serpent they do say, together we will take .our way, and weld the chain., so strongly now, that every beast to us shall bow, and dwell in the house that '-um built. Temperance: This is the star of promise bright, to stop the de mons in their delight, to scare the monster in his career, and to- the serpent lend a fear, that he no more may weld the chain that binds the beast in his artful train, who lives in the house that rum built. Reformers: These are the sol diers who take the field with the star of promise for their shield; they go together hand in hand, to hunt the demons who haunt the land ; they'll break in two the welded chain, and set the captive free again, who lives in the house that rum built. "Would you mind standing here till I go in and get a cigar ?" he asked. "Of course not," she re plied; "but don't you think, Hen ry, that smoking is offensive, and that it will be easier practicing economy after marriage if it is practiced during courtship ?'' "You-re right," he said ; "1 shan't smoke any more, sweet," and she looked unut.terablg love at him as they resumed their stroll. Just then they came to an ice cream saloon, and he said : "There, now, - I meant to treat you to ice cream, but- as you say, it irg best to prac tice economy during courtship. >Ten cents for a cigar, thirty cents [for two creams-forty cents saved in a single night. Let's go over to the fountain and take a drink Sof water." They went; but she Swas mad enough to bite her owr ,head off. ! Some of the rural pastors are r setting their faces against picnics. -Arc the pastors old?7 FOOL FRIENDS. Nothing hurts a man, nothing hurts a party, so terribly as fool friends. A fool friend is the sower of bad news, of slander, and all base and unpleasant things. A fool friend always knows every mean tbing that has beet: said against you and against the party. He always know where your party is losing, and the other is making large gains. He alwayR tell you of the good luck your enemy- has had. He implicitly believes every story against you, and kindly sus pects your defence. A fool friend is always full of a kind of stupid candor. He is so candid that he always believes the statement of an ene my. He never suspects anything on your side. . Nothing pleases him like being shocked by horrible news concern ing some good man. He never denies a lie unless it is in your favor. He is always finding fault with his party and is continually beg ging pardon for not belonging to the other side. He is frightfully anxious that all candidates should stand well with the opposition. He is forever seeing the faults of his party and the virtues of the other. He generally shows his candor by scratching his ticket. He always searches every nook and corner of his conscience to find a reason for de%ertitg a friend or a principle. In the moment of victory he is magnanimously on the other side. In defeat he consoles you by re peating prophecies made after the event. The fool friend regards your re putation as common property, and common prey for all the vultures, as hyenas and jackals. He takes a sad pleasure in your misfortunes. He forgets his principles to grat ify your enemies. He forgives your maligner and slanderer with all his heart. He is so friendly that you can not kick him. He generally talks for you, but always bets the other way. FEEAKS OF FASHION. Polka-dotted hose will be worn on polka-dotted shins. "Coral des Indes" is the new name of a fabric. It is of a brick color. Linen collars and cuffs are nei ther stylish nor neat-when they are dirty. Shaded spots are seen on some of the new goods-especially on t-he editor's suit.' The new and expensive "peas ant gowns"' cause a great rage when the bills come in. Sulphur-cGlored satin is very popular for evening wear. Match making is in progress if the lap is sat in. Putty-colored lady's cloth is much used for walking costumes ; but it is more appropriate for gla ziers' girls. Monks' hoods are seen on many of the fashionable street dresses. They should be worn only '. the lady who affects scowls. Sweet sandal slippers are made of light shades of kid for little ones ; but they are not so effect ive as the old-fashioned shingle. A pair of white crows frequent a wood near Greencastle, Pa. Un successful attempts have been made to capture them alive. - Good temper is like asunny day ; it sheds i brightness over every thing ; it is the sweetner of toil and the soother of disquietude. Coins with holes in them are becoming such a nuisance that some people refuse to receive them at their face value. It is surprising sometimes to see how much can be done even with an in'.elligent man by flattering him a little. THE "SEPARATED" MAN. About eight o'clock yesterday forenoon a man whose form was full of wrinkles and- kinks -and twists crawled out of a coal-shed on the wharf and began yawning and rubbing hi- eyes like-vne who had put in a heavy night. - A po liceman lounged that way, gave the man a looking over and ask ed: 'Sleep in there last night?' 'Yaas, kinder,' was the reply. 'Looking for work?' 'N-n-o, not exactly-. - 'You'll be run in if you hang around in this way,'remarked the officer. The man _put his hands on top of a snubbing post, laid his chin on his hands, and after a long look at Canada he turned and said: 'I danno exactly what I'm go ing to do. I did live out here about eight miles, but I've sepa rated from the old woman. Yes. separated last night.' 'What's the trouble ?' 'Waal, she was my secopd and I was her second, and we never got along any too sweet. We both of us think we know it all, and neither feels like giving in. We came in to see the circus.' 'Ah! you did?' 'And that's wher'e the separa tion took place-right in front of the sacred hyenas from Japan. Ycu know they advertised an electric light there ?' 'Yes.' 'Well,we'd never seen one. When we got into the menagerie there stood the elephant. Then came the camels. Then we came to an old -bear. Further on were the lions and tigers and monkeys, but no electric light. We walked three times around that old tent without coming to his cage, and I got mad. Says I to one of the chaps over the rope: 'Whar' is the cage with the eTectrid light in ? We want to see him or have our money back!' The feller he grinned all over, and lots of folks laffed, right out, and my w-ife she flew up and said I'd made a fool of myself. 'How ?' says I. 'Why, the electric ligh t'is not an animal at all,' says she, 'but it has something to do with the clown.' We had a big jaw right there. She caved my hat in, and I broke her para sol, and then I separated. 'And you won't make up ?' 'Make up ! Never!i She can take the electric light and bake and eat him but I'm a man who -never crawis' !lcrc# 'And you didn't see the eeti light after all ?' 'No! I don't believe they had any ! May be they thought they could work that 'ere rhinoceros off on the public by another name, but I tumbled in a minit. I'm an old rhinos myself, and my wife is another, and when I think of how I stood there and let her call me a fool afore all the people IPm mad 'nuff to walk clear home and pizen her half of the yoke of oxen !'-Pree Press. Life is divided into three terms, that which is, which was, which will be. Let~us learn from the past to profit by the present, 'and from the present to live for'the fa ture. The great secret of avoiding disappointment, is not to expect too much. Despair follows' im moderate hope, as things fall hard est to the ground that have been nearest to the sky. As they who, for every slight sickness take physic to. repair - their health, do rather impair it, so they who for eveg ytriflev are eager to vindicate their iharaoter, do rather weaken it. The selfish man's heart like .a, man's coffin, is jaa his own meas- - ure-long enough and broad enough to hold himself, wis.hroom. for no one else. Many a property owner is poor in purse but rich in deed. The civil engineer would like t o be monarch of alt he surveys. -To make a goodnmonkey wren& fled him on grdeiiandes.
