IRISH IVY. Ivy of Ireland in my garden grows Beside tho foxglove that tho wild bee knows, More dear to rae than lavender or rose. Gray moths about me flit, and gold wasps hum. The l>ees salute it softly as they come. Tho iast wind loiters by it and is dumb Or whispers very lightly of green rings, The hollow raths, the fairy people springs And buried days when Boholaun hud wings And rode amid the unforgotten Shte. Or tho west wind comes laughing from the sea And tells the youngest leaves of days to be, When Erin's grievous wound is healed and she Shall lift her gracious head and, smiling, see Her children coming crowned aboui her knee. Ivy of Ireland, is the promiso clear? You climb toward thc light 'twixt hope and fear, . But wacla to God the day we wait wore here! -From "Under Quicken Boughs," by'Nora Hopper. WITCH AND I. 4- * . Wi tch and I had a quarrel. Who is it that says that it takes two to make a quarrel? Whoever it is makes a mistake. It took only one to make our quarrel, and that was my precious Aum:y Betsy Jane.* Witch has a temper ; so have 1 She wasn't christened Witch. God fa thers and mothers have much to an swer for; still I never heard of theil' giving Witch as a baptismal name to a Christian child. No, her name is Julia Felicia, which, is simply ab surd. Fancy a little, dark eyed, be witching five feet nothing having a name like that ! My name is John, and John I'm always called. Had I been chris tened Eobert or Thomas I should have been called by either of those plain, sensible names. There Is nothing for the imagination to catch hold ol: in my face or figure. I'm not 8 feet in my stockings. I'm only fi feet 10. I haven't "crisp. golden hair "'and a "tawny beard." No, my eyes, bair and beard are brown, and for the rest I haye non descript features arid good teeth. -Moreover, as I said before, I have a temper., a vile one, and in all things, apart from my profession, am a. bom fool. It was over a game of tennis that Annt Beitsy Jane made us quarrel. Witch didn't play up, and I "elated" har. I've "slated" Witch ever since I've known her, and I've known her since she* was 10, so she ought to have got used to it; For the mat ter f that, she wouldn't have both ered her head about it if it hadn't been for my beloved aunt Witch slates me ferociously sometimes, but it never makes any difference. Well, it was at ono of Mrs. Dou gal 's "sit homes" that the row be gan. Witch, Miss White, Dougal and I were playing tennis* Dougal and Mies White were against us. As a rule., Witch lioks tho other girl into fits, but on this occasion, for some rea E on Or the other, she missed nearly. every ball. I was annoyed, and I expressed myself perhaps a little more strongly than I ought to have done, but I'm SHre I said noth ing one whit stronger than I've said scores of times without any offense jj being taken. Be that as it may, Witch refused to play any more and sat down by Aunt Betsy Jane. I am a doctor, and soon after that some one called me away. It was a bad case, and I didn't get home till midnight In the. dining .room some cold meat and beer were wait ing for me; so was a note from Witch. I ate* a mouthf val and drank a glass of beer. Then I opened the note. For a moment I felt as if I had" a knife ia my heart It was such a cruel stab. Witch-my little Witch-would "have nothing more to do with me. My conduct at Mrs. Dougal's-had proved} to her that she' no longer possessed my respect, and without respect, love was not likely to last Icing, etc. She ended by say ing that she would have returned my ring, but could not remove it from her finger, but that she would get the jeweler to cut it off tomor row. I smiled a grim smile at the last sentence. J had no intention of allowing that ring to be cut off. The lovely effusion puzzled me altogether. It wasn't in Witch's usual style. Naturally a note of that kind coming from her would have run in this way: "John, I hate and detest you and hope you'll keep, out of my sight forever, " or some thing like it. Well, I went to bed. I was such an ass that I never slept a wink all night. But I made up my mind what I. would do., I got up early and made a good breakfast. Then I went into the surgery, saw my assistant, talked over the cases and told him I should be away all day. After that I went to town, straight to Witch's father's office. He hadn't arrived, but his people knew me and showed me into his private room. He and I are great friends-always have been. So it was quite natural for me to go to him for advice, or rather to talk over things. When he carno in, he seemed rather* surprised at seeing me, but after we had shaken hands he looked over his letters, gave some directions to his clerk, and then, turning to me, said, "Now, John!" ''Can you spare me half an hour, eir'r' "As far as I know. ? Go ahead. " "Well, Tin making 500 a year, and my practice is inci'en.sing. " "That's good." "Don't you think Witch and 1 might marry on that?" "Certainly." "You have no objection to our marrying ucvr month, if she con sents 5" "Nunc. I have no wish that she should marry at all, but, if she must many, I'd rather she married ' you than any ono else." "Thank you, fir, for saying that! Thank you very much!" said I gratefully, seizing his hand and wringing it hard. "Just so," said he, removing it from my grasp and looking anx iously at it. "But why this fervor i" I put Witch's precious epistle in front of him. He read it tvrice through attentively, put it down and, looking calmly at me, said: ''Very interesting, but scarcely to be regarded as a 'prelude to very speedy matrimony, I should think. " "Ah, hut it is, sir. A girl doesn't write a note like that and have done with it. No, she oontinues to write them. I shall probably get a simi lar note once a month now, anti that will be very tiring. I give you my word that I did not sleep a wink all last night. The practice won't stand that sort of thing long, you know, ". said I earnestly. "You seem to have an accurate knowledg of women and their ways,", he remarked dryly. I-allowed that speech to pass with out comment. Comment seemed superfluous. "If I might ask, I should, like to know whom you consider in fault in this little misunderstanding?" he asked. "I am, sir. It stands to reason. I should not he so anxious if she were in fault." And then I explained the whole matter, finishing up with, "I can't remember exactly what I called her; but, whatever it was, I didn't mean it." "I am not able to refresh your memory as to what you said on that occasion/but I can tell you what I have heard you. call her myself," eaid Mr. Druitt quietly, and then he told me: His tone was a revelation to mo. Not that I'd *oall Witch anything worse than "little fool," but I real ized what it must have sounded like to the hearers and to him, her fa ther. I don't know how I looked, but I felt mean, cheap, worthless utterly so. I began to stumble out apologies. He waved his hand. "All right,"he said, "but you see your, language is at times forcible. " He is a wise mian, so ha said no mora He showed his wisdom therein, for I went at once to eeo Witch in a very contrite frame ol! mind, i was ready to make a mat of myself 'and let my darling tram ple on me if it should so please her, or to do any other extravagant thing, such, was the depth of my humility. Still, asl journeyed Put-: ney ward I pondered as to who could have stirred.up the strife f between us. Suddenly it flashed across my mind that Witch had seated herself beside Aunt Betsy Jane and that Aunt Betsy Jane was her godmoth er, and therefore license- to inter fere I am not going to explain how Aunt Betsy Jane came to be Witch's godmother. ,I am not a lady novelist, and therefore don't think it necessary to explain every thing. v It has nothing to do with this story. Besides I was only 6 years oid when she was christened and wasn't consulted as to her spon sors.. To be^ure, it must have been Auntfcetsy- Jane who suggested the letter. When I arrived at the Cedars, it was about.12 o'elock. If all went "weD, peace would reign between Witch and myself in an hour, and, if-so, I would take her off to Bioh mond, get a boat from Messum's, row up the riy.er, come to aachor in backwater I knew of between Bichmond and Hampton and then make her name the day. But th: ngs did 't go well. They went exceed ingly badly instead. When Amelia (Amelia is the Druitts1 housemaid) opened the door and I inquired for Witch, she said gravely: . "Miss Druitt is not well, sir, but I'll tell her you're here." Then she showed me into the din ing room. This was ominous. In the Druitt's menage it is customary to see people who come on business -dressmakers, laundresses, serv ants seeking places-in the dining room before lunch. Amelia left mo and went up stairs. I rapidly diag nosed the situation. I took out my pocketbook and wrote, "My dar ling, I shall wait in the old boat at the end of the lawn till you can see me, " and then I signed it "John. " Amelia came back. "If you please, sir, Miss Druitt does not leel equal to seeing you today, but will write to you tonight. " "Exactly, " said I quietly. "Can you give me an envelope 5 Thanks I Give that to Miss Druitt, please. " The maid left the room, and I went into the garden. At the bot tom of the garden ran the river, and 'on tho river, chained to a post, was an old boat. It was seldom used, as the spot was not picturesque, but it was secluded, hidden both from the house and from passing boats by thick, drooping willows. It was here that Witch and I had come tc the conclusion that we could not live without each other. I sat down in the boat, feeling very wrathy with Witch and bitter against Aunt Betsy Jane. I would have given much tc know if she was in the houso at that moment. I thought out all I had heard of the days of her youth. I felt mean and spiteful. I bethought me of an old incident in her lifo wherein Aunt Betsy Jane had sailed very near the wind and had a narrow es cape of social wreck. I ought to have forgotten it, but I am not lie roic. Both morally and physically I am commonplace-that is to say, if. I'm struck, I hit back, or try to. Would you believe it, 1 sat in that boat, except when I got up and stretched myself, till S o'clock: It was nearl3T clark, and when I hean the olock strike I swore to mysol that if Witch did not appear befon the chiming of the quarter I wo uh row the old boat down to the bridge give a boy sixpence to bring i t bael again, and-well, whon Witch want ed me she might send for me. Tba was all. t It must have been very near th< quarter when I saw stealing dowi the garden, her head and shoulden wrapped up in a white cloud, mj Witch. A least I thought so ai first, but I soon saw it wasn't. Ii was some one more kin and less kind. Nevertheless, as the form I drew near, peering about in thc dusk, I sprang forward, caught hei in my arms and kissed her. She struggled, but I held her fast. Sh had no breath with which to utter i sound. She could only listen to mv ardent-far more ardent than I evei bestowed on Witch-expressions of affection. "My darling," I went on, "3 know you would never have made such a little fool of yourself if ii hadn't been for that malicious cata maran, Aunt Betsy Jane. " The form within my arms struggled. I wa holding her tightly, or my face might have suffered. "But I'll tell you a tale, dear, about her. I'm the only living soul that knows, now old nurse is dead." You couldn't hear the form breathe, so still wat it. I went on: "Aunt Betsy Jane is 45 now"-the form wriggled. "About 25 years ago"-I could hear her heart beat I relented. "No, Witch, I will not tell you that story. You have come to me, and I can af ford to pity Aunt Betsy Jane. She was badly used when she was young, and she -can't bear to see people happy now she is old." The form muttered. I opened my arms. "Want to fetch something, dear? You shall; only comeback at once, or I shall feel like telling that old tala about Aunt Betsy Jane." She scuttled off to the house,' and in a minute or two Witch came down the garden in a very dignified manner. I let her come right to the edge of the water and peer about. I knew she couldn't see me. Presently she said anxiously: "John!" My heart jumped, but I didn't intend to give myself away, so I simply said, "Weill" But she didn't intend to give herself away either. .She turned. Then I saw that I had my work cut out for ma "Stay, Witch! I'm in the boat," I exclaimed in a tone of deepest en treaty as I scrambled on shore. She paused. I caught hold of her hand. "Witch," I cried reproachfully, "I've been waiting here for nearly eight hours, and I'm so faint I can hardly speak. " . That fetched her. A woman will go cheerfully for hours without a crumb, do yards and yards of shop ping on a halfpenny bun and think nothing of it, but let a man only say that he has missed his lunch, and she makes as much fuss over him as if he had suffered the martyrdom of St. Lawrenoe. "You poor thing!" exclaimed my darling. "Come in at once and have something to eat. " "No, Witch," I said faintly, but firmly. "You must forgive me." "Forgive yo'u? Of course I for give you. I didn't know you had been here all that time. Do come in at once, or you'll die, I know you will." But I stuck to my guns, and I didn't go indoors until I had made Witch promise that we should be married that day month. Then I consented to go in and work a mighty havoc among the eatables. Aunt Betsy Jane came to our wed ding and made us a handsome pres ent. Then she went to live with some friends in the north. I think the poor old soul had had some sus picion that I knew her story, and so tried to part me and. Witch. She took my note from Amelia in the morning and kept it for that reason. My darling did not know I was in the boat until Aunt Betsy Jane came in from the garden and told her. But I have never told my wife a .word. It isn't wise to tell your wife all the little peccadillos of your friends and relatives.-Daughter. Tho Bird. Little more than a drift of the air 'brought into form by plumes. The air in all its quills, it breathes through its whole frame and flesh and glows with air in its flying like blown flame. It rests upon thu air, subdues it, surpasses it, outraces it, and in its throat is the voiee of the air. As we may imagine the wild form of the cloud closed into the perfect form,of the bird's wings, so the wild voice of tho cloud into its voice rippling through, tho clear heaven in its gladness, interpreting passion through tho soft spring nights, bursting into acclaim and rapture at daybreak or twittering and lisping among boughs and hedges through heat of clay like lit tle windsv that ruffle the petals of the wild rose. Also on the plumes of tho bird are put the colors of thc air, the gold of the cloud that can not bo gathered, the vermilion of the cloud bar, the flame of the cloud crest, the snow and the shadow and the melted blue of the deep wells of tho sky. All these woven into plumes, following sind fading aiong brciisl and throat andopened wings.

Every ODe who has to do with the admiralty is familiar with amusing tales of the glorification of red tape. Hore is the very latest Some time ago a workman in one of the dock yards lost a government candle stick, valued at a few pence. This was considered sufficient excuse for a report by the local officials to Whitehall. A long correspondence ol'the approved government office tj'pe ensued, and it is estimated that not less than 5 was spent in the of ficiais' timo, ink and paper. After every aspect of tho case had been weighed the workman was direoted to pay the local officials tho sum of fivepence, being the value set upon this particular candlestick. Of course, if the man had been in pri vate employment, little or no notice would have been taken of such a triviality, or, at most, he would have paid his foreman the value, without any red tapeism.-West minster Gazette. Rank In Prussia. A Prussian master of ceremonies would have a fit if he were asked to mo.rshal the guests in the English way, says the Amsterdam Handels blad,and it proceeds to show how the order of rank was at the reception in Buckingham palace. First came the archbishops, then the dukes and duchesses, marquises and marchion esses, earls and countesses, lords and ladies, bishops, barons, right honorables and honorables, county councilors, the lower clergy, the medical profession and, last, the ad mirals, captains, commanders and naval lieutenants, to be followed by field marshals, generals and other army officers. In Prussia the mili tary men rank first, noblemen with out military rank and without offi cial position "take a baok seat' ' and the clergy are remanded still farther in the rear. - Mudge : "Which is proper to say, 'lend me ten dollars,' or 'loan me ten dollars?'" Wickwire : "It won't do you any good to say either." - "Why, I'd like to know," said a lady to a Judge, "cannot a woman be come a successful lawyer?" "Be cause she's too fond of giving her opinion without pay," answered the Judge. The story is told of a young married wo man, who asked another young married woman how she managed to get along PO amicably with her husband. The answer was, "I feed the brute-his stomach with food'and his mind with flattery." Even a man will have to admit that this young wo man had solved about two-thirds of the art of making the average man happy. The other third consists of keeping his body in such condition that he will enjoy his food and his mind in such condition that he wilP be susceptible to flattery. It isn't much use to put tempting food before a man who hasn't an appetite. It doesn't pay to lavish smiles on a man whose nerves are racked and overworked. <, ~ The average man pays very little attention to his health, and won't take medicine of hisewn accord until he is flat on his back. A shrewd wife will keep an eye on her hus band's welfare in this respect, and when she sees thal: he is bilious or suffering from indigestion, or is generally out of sorts, will see that he resorts to that mosf" wonderful of all invigorators, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
