"Dear mamma, if you just could be A tiny little girl like me, And I your mamma, you would see How nice I'd be to you. I'd always let you have your way; I'd never frown at you and say; 'You are behaving ill to-day: Such conduct will not do.' 'I'd always give you jelly-cake For breakf.st, and I'd never shake My head, and say :'You must not take So very large a slice.' I'd never say : 'MIy dear, I trust You will not make me say you inust Eat up your oat meal;' or, 'The crust You'll find is very nice.' "I'd buy you candy every day; I'd go down-town with you, and say; 'What would my darling like! You may Have anything you see.' I'd never say : 'My pet you know 'Tis bad for health and teeth, and so I cannot let you have it. No; It would be wrong in me.' "And every day I'd let you we4r Your nicest dress, and never care If it should get agreat big tear; I'd only say to you: 'My precious treasure, never mind, For little clothes will tear, I find.' Now, mamma, wouldn't that be kind? That's just what I should do. 'I'd never say: 'Well, just a few!' I'd let you stop your lesssons, too; I'd say: 'They are too hard for you, Poor child, to understand.' I'd put the books and slates away; You shouldn't do a thing but play. And have a party every day. Ah-h-h, wouldn't that be grand ! "But, mamma dear, you cannot grow Into a little girl, you know, And I can't be your mamma; so The only thing to do Is just for you to try and see How very, very nice 'twould be For you to do all this for me. Now, mamma, co}ldn't you?' [WRITTEN FOR THE NEWBERRY IIERALD.1 AFTER YEARS. O BY CLYDE WAYNE. 'Ten years this very nmght ! A b, ell, the years have left their races on brow -as well as heart.' he speaker,; a tall, slender wo an of some thirty summers, dr'ew adeep sigh as she glanced sadly in the mirror before wbich she as fastening a tiny white rose ud into the luxuriant, dark hair tat was wound low on the white eck. Eyes of deep chestnut, a mall mouth of'exquisite propor ions, aud a row of even, pearly teth that glistened between the ipe, red lips. This is Amy Hart at thirty. ith wealth, and surrounded wvith ll that could make her young life .bappy, we can guess of her resh beaut.y ten year's ago wvhen he stood the acknowledged belle &i Clinton. But the years have lef't sad acings in that young heart. Left n orphan at the early age of two nd twenty, she learned the first ad lesson of, sorrow, and only a ew months later she learned that he ~ was penniless. Sadly she tried from the dear old home tat had so lately sheltered her, nd with two of her true and ried friends she had since found, ound a welcome home. Two proud to accept charity, ven from tbem, she evrn~ed a omfortable support as governess n the neighborhood. T1o Nellie nd Rosa alone she has told the sad story of ber' heart ; of the ong, sad months whben she watch d and waited in vain for tidings hat never came. In the new life she leads she feels a quiet contentment and on y occasionally a -shadow passes ver the fair brow and the datrk yes grow tender with a memory f what might have been. Rosa has lately married a rich anker in N., and has written Any to visit ber in her rnew warne. Anid she is t.o leave on the mor ow, anid busies herselt in prepara. ions for her visit. Chancing across a packet tied with a faded ribbon, a few hot tears course down her cheek, and she pauses as it is taken from its long, close confinement. One by one the letters are Jlaid aside till one tiny pink 'note is reached and then, perlgaps for the r.;tb time, Amy reads it slow ly while the fnashed cheeks paled as she reads. It is written in a boid, clear hand, and dates ten years back. 'AMY, M DARLING . For you alone I live. In a few days I leave for the far West, and if I go with the assurance of your love I shall be happy ; but if not 1. leave never to return ; for, oh !~ Amy, I cannot live to see you the wife of another. To-night we meet at Mrs. Fisher's ball, and if' you can give me any hope wear one of the white rose-buds I send, and you will make me the hap piest man in the whole wide world. Yours, in suspense, FRED MIXEN.' As Amy folded it away her lips assumed a stern curve, as she recalled that night that had brought sacb bitterness to her heart. 'Ali, Lucy,' she thought, 'you have blighted the hopes of two hearts.. But I can forgive you when I see your retribution crushing you down. But,it is bard to think that be does not .know. To think he left me be lieving I had trifled with his love, Ab. Fred, if you only knew! But her voice gave back only the answering ecbo, and she was glad her anticipated visit was so near at hand. All was confusion in the elegant home of Mrs. Meyner, and Amy was locked in her own room hav ing a good cry when that lady knocked at her door. 'Let me in, child,' she cried as the door was opened. 'Dear, dear, been crying ? What on earth is the matter, Amy? Thinking about yuar old lover? By the by, you never told me his name, and I just want you to guess who is down stairs. Quite a surprise, too.' And the lively little lady bad Amy smiling directly.' 'I really cau't guess, unless it be Aunt Hettie. She generally takes people by surprise,' she said laughing. .Not Aunt Hlettie this time, but a cousin of Frank's. He is just handsome too, and I wish you would not sentimentalize so. Dress and come down.' 'Very well. But what's his name. Or did you bear it.' 'I believe Frank introduced him as my cousin, Fred Mixen, not sure, though,' she answered as she reached the door. As Amy stood there in the dim twilight the bud in her hair was not whiter than the wvearer's face. At last she is to hear the voice for which she has so often lis tened ; to look again into the dark blue eyes that have haunted her. dreams for ten long years. She enters the drawing-room a few moments later, and Rosa comes forward to meet and intgo duced her to some. of the guests, and she is soon led out for the firt dance. A brighter glow burns on either chek, and she glances quickly around as she takes her place.. Presently the music stop,s, aend she finds her-self being led...to a. cool s-eat; and shortly after she ears Rosa enquiring for her and feels rather than hears that Fred is being introduted. She gives him one liurried glance and rises as he comes fr ward to meet her. 'I am glad. to meet you again,' he says as Rosa looks from one to the other in mute astonishment. 'We ar' old friends, Rosa,' Amy explained, smiling ; but she felt a cold shiver pass over her as she noted Fred's formal greeting. 'Well, now this is too bad ; why did you not tell me you were old acquaintances, Cousin Fred ?' the hostess asked. I did niot see the necessity. Be sides I did n<>t know but that Miss Hat had forgottenl me,' bitterly. ~Oh, nonsense, you tn.o under stand each other, I see. So I'll leave you to talk up old times,' she answered gaily, waving her hand to them as she turned to go. As she did so Fred turned to A my with the remark: 'Quite a long time since we have met, but I see time has dealt kindly with you. I had such a places that I have deserted my new home for a while. But,' hes itatingly, 'the memories they awaken are sad ones, and I .wiil not make a long stay.' She gave him a quick glance as she replies: You say time has dealt kindly with me, but the scars left are too deep to be seen with the eye.' He gave her a searching look, and noting the flushed face pro posed to go out on the piazza. As they stood there in the moonlight she felt that he was reading her heart., .and when he spoke she did not look 4t him. 'Amy, you say there are scars that the eye does not see. Will you tell me wbat has caused them ? But, no, I will not seek to gain your confidence. Yet once I did think my heart held a respon sive chord in your own. I.e came nearer, and she felt that she must move. 'Fred, do you know why I wear this bud ?' she asked, taking it from her hair. 'Once I might have known, but now I do not. Will you tell me ?' be asked eagerly. '1 wear it because it is a sad reminder of a mistake that has shadowed my life.' 'What do you mean, Amy ?' he asked leaning forward while his face paled as he w-ttched her eagerly. 'It is a long time ago, Fred, but the niemory is fresh as on that night ten years ago when I learned you bad left for the WVest.' 'And you sent me away. Oh, Amy, ho x can you so calmly recall the past that brings to me only a shadow of departed hope. I see now that you pity me. But go on, I am anxious to learn the secret of your little rosebud.' If the apparent sarcasm was felt she did not betray her feel ings but calmly went on, first choking down a'rising sigh. 'I did not intend to wear a red bud that night, Fred.' 'Amy !' 'No, I had received two boquets for the occasion, one red the other white. Laura, you remember, ivas with me. I requested her to fas ten a white bud in my hair, and she oit in the other. She had seen your note and was jealous, and, yielding to an evil impulse, took that way of punishing us both. She told me this afterward.' 'Oh, Amy ! and I ha.ve been ig norant of this all these long years! While thinking you had trifled with my love I cared never to see you again.' 'I, too, have suffered, Fred. But I have hoped and prayed, and not in vain,' she said as be come closer to her side and clasped the slender form in a passionate embrace. 'Yes,- mine for always now, Amy,' he said ten.derly. 'Yes, Fred, I can even forgive Laura the sorrow she has caused. Her lite is a sad one. Poverty and a drunken husband have brought sufficient punishment for her past life.' 'Yes, darling, we can forgive her now, and t.hrough the coming years we will blot out the mem ory of that sad past.' He drew her gently to him and lft a kiss on the pure white brow. And Amy Hart feels not the change of years, but feels only that Fred is near and her sad waiting is over. She turned to him presently, saying: 'Bus, Fred, you do not find mec the fresh young girl you left so long ago. I am getting quite aged.' 'The same to me, always, dar. ling. The years have left no trace on our hearts.' Rosa's voice was heard enquir ing. for them, and as she came up Fred said: -Se cousin) ; your. game is not spoiled af ter all, Amy and I havec beeni 'making up.'' 'Like dear good' ebildren.' she said, giving Amy a kiss and a tap on the cheek. In the far Western home tc n bich Fred has taken her, Amy's happiness is complete, and the memory of the months and years of parting live only to add bright er dreams to their now joyout !*iscelzntons. HOW A MAN 4 OES TO BED. Speaking of how a man goes to bed, an exchange say..: 'There's where a man has the advantage. He can uudr.ss in a cool room and have his bed warm before a woman has her hairpins out and her shoes untied.' That is how it looks in print, and this is how it looks in reality: 'I am g,ing to bed,my dear. It is 10.30.' No reply, I 'Now, John, you are always late in the, morning. Do go to bed.' 'Yes, in a minute,' he replies, as he turns the paper wrong side out and begins a lengthy article headed 'The Louisiana Muddle.' Fifteen minutes later she calls from the bedroom 'John, come to bed and don't keep the gas burn ing hore all nigbt,' and murmuring something about 'the bill being big enough now,' she creeps be tween the cold sheets, while John sits placidly on, his feet across the piano stool and a cigar in his mouth. 43y and by he rises yawns, stretches himself, throws the paper on the floor and pro ceeds to that vigorous exercise shaking the coal stove-. Just at this stage a not altogether pleas ant voice inquires 'For pity't sake ! aint't you ready for bed yet?' 'Yes, yes, I'm coming Why don't you go to sleep and let a fellow alone ?' Then he dis covers that there. is coal needed. When that is supplied and rattled into the stove be sits down tc warm his feet. Next he slowly begins to undress, and as h( stands scratching himself, anc absently gazing on the last gar ment dangling over the back o the chair, ho remembers that the clock is not wound yet. Wher this is attended to he wants e drink of water, and away he pro menades to the kitchen. 0 course when he returns his ski resembles that of a picked chicken and once more he seats himsel before the fire for the last warm up. As the clock strikes 12 hi turns out tbe gas and with a floi of the bed-clothes and a few spas modic shivers he subsides-no niot yet; he forgot to see if tbi front door was locked, and anothet flop from the bed-clothes bring~ forth th e re mark : 'Good gra cious! if tha.t man ain't enough t( try the patience of Job!' Setiting her teeth aard, she awaits th< tinal flop, with the accomnpanying blast of cold air, and then quietly inquires if he is settled for the right, to which he replies by mut tering : 'if you ain't the pro vokingest woman.'-Bostonz Post. FOLLOWING THEIR MASTER.-Il is well known that geese and gan ders become attached to person who habitually feed them an< treat them kindly. But the at tachment is seldom so gleat a: that manifasted toward- an En gish miller who keeps a flock The faithful creatut-es had re peatedly follow ed him a mile t< the village on week days when b< went to attend to business. I did not ccour to him that possibl3 some day they might want to fol low him to church. But on a re cnt Sunday they seemed to be ir a devotional frame of mind an< marched behind him as he wen to the sanctuary. Arriving a the door, they wanted to follov him in, and probably would hay occupied his pew had he eonsente< to let them do so. Hie undertool to make them understand that h< wanted them to go home. but thi innocent and awkward creature failed to grasp the idea. Finding it impossible to make them rec turn without committing violene on them, the miller was cornpelle to abandon his religious privilege for the (lay and p)roceed bomc ward at the head of the file of hi feathe~red j,ets. 1t is as imp)ortant that w should have good books as 'hha we should keep good company as the one will make the other. Music is the only sensual gral iation~ which men may iniduig in to excess without injury t their moral or religious feelings. A Milwaukee bald-headed man told a doctor that his hair was fal!in~ out, and asked him if he l didn't know of something that I wou!d stop it. The doctor said It he would ffx him, so he wrote a t prescription, which was as fol lows: Chloride or sodium - - - 1 oz. Aqua pura -- ---- --8 oz. Shake well and rub on aie scalp every morn ing. The bald went to the druggist 1 and had the prescrip)tion puit up. paying $1 17 for it. He asked the druggist if it wasn't a little high, but felt ashamed s hen the drug gist asked him if he knew how much aqua pura cost a gallon. He said he didn't. but supposed it . come high. The druggist told him that aqua pura was one of the most penetrating drugs in the store, and as for chloride of sodium, there was nothing like it. and the war in Peru had sent it up L iting. The bald man used the medicine, and felt as though it was doing him good. His wife noticed little new hairs coming out, and he felt good, so when the stuff was gone he took the bottle to the store and had it filled again. The chap who filled it this time was another chap, and when the bald-headed man threw down a dollar the drugger said : '0, never mind. We won't charge you any thing for that.' The bald man asked how that was, when the drugger said : 'Why, it is only salt and water, anyway. The salt is only 2 cents a pound, and the water is pretty cheap this year.' The bald man gave one gasp, and said: 'Well, by the great bald-beaded Elijah. I paid F $1 for filling that bottle before, and I want my money back. It is a bald-headed swindle. I tbought that Peruvian story 'didn't look plausible.' The drug gist gave the man a box of cigars to keep still about it, but he w?on't speak to the other drugger who charged him a dollar. * ( Peck' s Sun. A PLEAsANT PICTURE.-'There is a man,' said a village carpenter-, 'who has done more good. I really believe, in this community, than any man that ever lived in it. He cannot Lalk well in prayer meeting, and he doesn't often try. He isn't wor-th $2,000, and it's very little he can put down on a subscription paper for any pur pose. But a new family never moves into the village that he does not find time to give a neigh borly welcome and offer any little service he can render. He is usually on the lookout to givye strangers a seat in his pew at ch'u-ch. He is always ready to watch with a sick neighbor, and look after his affairs for- him, and II've sometimes thought he and b is wife kept houseplants in win ter- just for the sake of being able to send little bouquets to invalids.
