BUTTERCUPS AND CLOVER. Down on the desk she laid her head, Tho starting tears concealing, Down in her heart the ache was there, The dreary homesick feeling. Tho little mistress, all alone, Felt friendless and forsaken. The daily drudgery of lifo Had all her courage taken. "Nobody cares," she whispered low. She certainly was crying. She listened to the plaintive breeze That through the pines came sighing. She heard a noise, and somo one now Was through the entry walking And then was standing by her chair, Just at her elbow, talking. ."Please, teacher," said a childish voice, (What was it Jack was saying?) . *!You looked as though your mother would Not let yon go out playing. ?"I thought that you was feeling bad And that you'd like some candy, - But when I hunted in my bank There wa'n't a penny handy, ?"And so I went and brought you these, Just buttercups and clover." Her tears were falling on the flowers, But soon the shower was over. He pointed to the buttercups. "You see, I play they're money;" .Then showed her in the clover blooms How she might And the hooey. "Dear little Jack!" Some une did care. She kissed him three times over The whole room seemed to be in bloom With, buttercups and clover. -Arthur Ward in Youth's Companion. WIGGLESBY'S LOVE. When a man has lived to the ma ture age of 40 outside the pale of matrimony and during the last half dozen years of that period* has scarcely looked at a woman, there is very little hope for him. Such, at least, was the case with Hezekiah Wigglesby. Whenever Wigglesby saw himself in his mir ror, which happened once a day, when he shaved himself (not being vain or a woman, Wigglesby had no occasion to consult it oftener), he had a deplorable habit of addressing congratulatory remarks to his re flection in^the glass on the fact that they-he and the shadow-were "able to get along without the silly sex," as Wigglesby alliteratively expressed it. . I use the term deplorable, and it certainly is, deeply so, when an oth erwise sensible man is addicted to talking to himself in the glass and trying to deceive himself into the belief that he is a perfectly happy and contented old bachelor, when such a thing is an utter anomaly and impossibility. Wigglesby knew at the bottom of his heart that the life he was lead ing was unsatisfactory and incom plete, that his daily self congratula tions were a hollow mockery and a faroe, *and one thing more than all else that caused him to realize this was an occasional glimpse which was vouchsafed him of a plump young widow who had recently moved into the roomy old farm house across the way. For years the place opposite had been what ie known as "an aban doned farm," but it had lately come into the possession of Mrs. Wiltsey, a substantial and pleasant looking widow, who, in company with a younger sister, had moved there from the city to engage in the fas cinating and (sometimes) profitable pursuit of chicken raising. Until they came Wigglesby's daily vision had been undisturbed l" the sight of a woman, save when one happened to drive by, and in that case there was no law compelling Wigglesby to look at her, and he usually didn't. Wigglesby attended to himself aft er a fashion of his own which was certainly original, though it prob ably would bother him some to se cure a patent on it. He had a way of making a bed, for instance, so that nobody on earth except Wigglesby himself could tell which end was intended for the head and which the foot, and sometime!: he couldn't. And when it came to baking flapjacks, a dish of which he was very fond, Wigglesby usually distributed the dough impartially over the top of the stove, the grid dle and the floor, so that when he got through preparing the meal the kitchen looked as if the battle ot Bunker Hill had been fought over again on the spot, with dough for ammunition. It was one of those interesting oc casions - when Wigglesby was struggling with a refractory batob of flapjacks, I mean-that he re ceived his first call from Mrs. Wilt sey, the plump widow aoross thc way. He had a griddle full of flap jacks baked on one side, and he was making a heroic effort to turn them over, using a table knife for that pur pose, so they could bake on the oth er, when a pleasant face suddenly appeared in the half opened door- i way and a musical voice said : "Excuse me! This is Mr. Wiggles- j by, I presume?" The flapjack which Wigglesby was in the act of turning dropped with a thud to the floor, and poor Wiggles by turned all the colors of the rain bow at once and incoherently stam- | mered : "N-n-no -I m-mean yes, I'm ^I-Mr. Wiggs-I should say Wig- ! glesby, and-and" "And I'm Mrs. Wiltsey, your new i neighbor, and I can't find my tack hammer, and T would like to bor- j row yours a little while if you don't j mind lending it. But I see I'm inter- j rupting your work, and-pardon me, but your flapjacks uro burning. j Allow me to turn them for you. won't you; There, now they ure all right, but you really need a" "Oh, no! N-no, 3 don't!*'inter rupted Wigglesby hastily. "Really, I" ?'Why, yes, you do, Mr. Wiggles ?by," calmly went on the plump widow. "You need a resillar nan cake turner! They only cost a ? cents, and you would hud it ever much handier than a knife for si work." "Gosh, that was a narrow escai I thought she was going to say a wife," muttered Wigglesby to hi self as he dashed out of the room search of the tack hammer. "Thank you very much!" BI Mrs. Wiltsey, with a grateful smi when Wigglesby returned with t required article. "It is real kind you to lend your hammer, and will be sure to bring it back t minute I'm through using it." "You're welcome, I-I'm sure, a: -and there's no hurry about brin ing it back," Wigglesby managed stammer as his fair caller took h departure with the hammer. After she was gone Wigglesl was unaccountably nervous and cl jected. His bachelor bosom had su denly become filled with a vagi unrest, a new, strange longin Could it be that, after all, there w something lacking in the life he w. leading? He wandered restless! about from room to room, and som how the big house had never seem< to him so empty as it did then. "Next day there came a timid knoc at the door. Wigglesby's bea jumped up into his throat, and 1 straightway forgot every word < the gracious speech he had planne so carofully. "Just my luck!" he groaned, ar then, hastily pulling himself togetl er, he started for the door, gropin blindly around in his mind in th meanwhile for his mislaid speed Before he reached the doorway h had found it once more, and a might yet have been well were : not for the fact that instead c bringing back the hammer herse! Mrs. Wiltsey had sent it by he younger sister. When Wigglesby opened the doc and saw a girl standing there wit something in her hand extended tc ward him, the smile on his face sue denly vanished, and he waved he away with: "Don't want anythin today, miss. I never buy from" "But I don't want you to buy it, she laughed. "This is your tac! hammer, and my sister said to tel you she was ever and ever so mud obliged for the use of it." "Er-excuse me, miss!" stammer ed Wigglesby. "I-I-took you fo a-one of the confounded-er should say, female agents, and I fact is, I-er-oh, Lord, why didn' your sister come with it herself Then this wouldn't have happened.5 And with this somewhat lame ant incoherent conclusion to his at tempted apology Wigglesby seize< tho tack hammer and fled, leav?hj. his astonished caller ?till standing at the door. When Maud Maxwell (for such wah the young woman's name), upon hei return, laughingly related to hei sister the particulars of her inter view with Mr. Wigglesby,she wound up by saying, "Don't you think he must be just a trifle cracked, Kit tie?" And, with a smile of superior in telligence, the astute Kittie, other wise , known as Mrs. Kate Wiltsey, dryly observed: "I guess not-that is, no more cracked than any old bachelor is." From which it is evident that the plump widow did not have a very exalted opinion of a man who pre ferred to "flock by himself." But to return to Wigglesby. For several days after the hammer epi sode he spent the most of his time drifting uneasily about his house and grounds and casting furtive and frequent glances across the way to see if perchance his fair neighbor might be coming to borrow some thing elso. A woman, he reasoned, is always losing things, and of course Mrs. Wiltsey would come over to borrow again, for where else could she go except to her nearest neighbor? So Wigglesby kept on the qui vive, with his entire collec tion of farming and household equip ments in readiness for lending at a second's notice. But, alas, the plump widow came neither to bor row nor to lend, and finally Wig glesby was in despair. He even be gan to think seriously of sneaking across ;he way some dark night and stealing some of Mrs. Wiltsey's tools, so she would be compelled to gome the next day and borrow of him. Somehow he felt that he must se cure another interview and get bet ter acquainted with her in some way either by hook or crook, and at the same time he kept wondering why it was that he was suddenly taking such an interest in woman, or at least in one woman. The reader has probably guessed the truth. Wigglesby was in love, but, being a new experience to him, ho did not fully recognize the fact. Ho knew that something ailed him, but wasn't exactly certain what it was. He had a general sort of idea, however, that the society of* the plump arid pleasing widow across thu way would be good for his com plaint, and when au old bacholor reaches that stage there is some hope fur bim yet. For a fortnight Wigglesby waited in vain for a secoud call from bis new neighbor, and then it occurred to him that perhaps she was waiting fo' him to return her call, or maybo she didn't consider her borrowing expedition a call at all ami was wait ing for him to make; the initial < all on her. Wigglesby wasn't very well up in the etiquette governing such matters, but lie finally decided that in any case il would bo only neigh borly to call and let her know that his services and the resources of his establishment were at her disposai at any time she sboulci uarjpen need them. So, shaving and dressing himsi with unusual care, ho betook Iii: self across the way and was iu t act of ringing Mrs. Wiltsey's do( bell when the plump widow hers? came around the corner of t wood shed in her working cloth and with a clucking and protests pullet under her arm. "Why, good afternoon, Mr. Wi glesby!" began she smilingly a] without tho slightest trace of ei barrassmont. "I'm so glad you ha pened to call as you did. Perba you can tell me how to make th hen stay on the eggs until they a hatched. She has been sitting tv weeks, and now she has taken a n tion to quit.' This makes tho thii time I have caught her off the ne in the past two hours." "Why-why don't you fasten h< on?" suggested Wigglesby, with sudden burst of inspiration. "Oh, thank you!" exclaimed Mr Wiltsey. "I thought of doing s but wasn't sure whether it was rigl or not. Just hold her a minute, wi you, while I hunt up a rope to t her down with." And the next thing Wiggles!) knew he was standing there alon looking very foolish, but happ] with that balky hen tightly claspe in both hands, while his hustlin neighbor had vanished in search c the requisite cord to secure the fov to the nest. She presently returned with : and offered to relieve Wigglesb}* c his charge, but Wigglesby sait "No, it will take at least two pe] sons to properly anchor that pulle on the nest, and, seeing that you sister isn't on hand to render th necessary assistance, I would just a soon go along and help as not." From this it wonk! seem that Wig glesby was improving very rapidly "It is very kind cf you, I'm sure,' said the plunrp widow, favorin Wigglesby with a grateful smile which upset him so he came nea dropir'ng the lien he was holding He quickly recovered himself, how ever, and meekly followed his neigh bor as she led the way to the nest. "There they are, " exclaimed Mrs Wiltsey when they reached tho spct "13 cs fine eggs as were ever laid and-I just happened to think of i -I woneler if the number has any thing to do with her acting as she dees.' You don't suppose the hei has counted the eggs and found oui that there are 13 of them and that is why she refuses to sit any moro, do you?" "Shouldn't wonder," said Wig glesby. "All females are so plaguy -I mean all hens aro so supersti tious, you know." "Are they? I didn't know it." "Yes," hastily responded Wig glesby, congratulating himself on the fact that Mrs. Wiltsey hadn't noticed the bad break he came near making; "but this hen might as well make up her mind to sit, 13 or no 13. If you will take her a minute, I think I can fix the nest so she will have to stay on it." Mrs. Wiltsey relieved Wigglesby of his burden, and then he looked wiso and went on : "I suppose the surest way would be to bore two holes in the bottom of the nest, then stick her legs down through and tie them fast under thu nest, but-er" "Are you sure the eggs wouldn't fall through;" anxiously inquired the owner of the hen at this point. "Er-I was just wondering about tha? myself. I don't think tying hel en 1 ht nest is going to work very well. Wait, and 111 see if I can lind a box to turn upside down over her. If 1 can get ono small enough and then put a weight on it to hold it down, she's got to sit whether she lilies to or not." "Eut I'm afraid I am putting you to an awful lot of trouble Mr. Wig glesby ?" "Not at all-just as soon come over and-and help you sit a hon every elay if you want me to; just as soon as not." Oh, yes, Mr. Wigglesby was pro gressing ! He finally found the right sort of box.; and he and the plump widow between them got the hen under it and the box properly anchored down, and then Wigglesby said he guessed it was time he was going. "But," he added thoughtfully, "I'll-er--come over again tomor row to help get this hen out and feed her and put her back on the nest again. She'll have to bo taken out and fed once a day, and of course you can't do it alone." "But my sister will be home to morrow. She has only gone away for the day, and when she gets back she can help mu if I need any as sistance." "Oh, well," said Wigglesby in an injured tone of voice, "if you prefer her assistance to mine" The widow broke in with a gay little laugh and then suddenly grew sober. "All right, you may come again tomorrow if you wish," shu said demurely. A week lalor tho lion (which had boen foil and wittered daily and en couraged to stiele to her post by hor two faithful attendants) hatched (jut a dozen downy chicks, and win n Wigglesby took them from tho nest and placed them in Mrs. Wiltsey's j apron vie' glanced flown al thom in mot burly i:islii'in and cooed. "What tiny, helpless little things they are! Ono cannot help loving them !" "I supli?se not," said Wigglesby gloomily. "I wish I'd been hatched instead of born, and then maybe somebody'll love mc. " "Wily, you great goose; iou ar perfectly eligi?lo on that score, bu I hadn't heard that you had aske< anybody yet." "I haven't, but I'll do so at one if you've got timo to listen, Mrs I Wi 1-1 mean Kittie." "Plenty of time, seeing it's you,' whispered Kittie, and during thi next few minutes that apron o chickens narrowly escaped smother ing, while the old hen clucked anx iously about and nearly expire?; from nervous prostration before he: offspring were finally restored t< her safe and sound.-Chicago Rec ord.

The Baby Got lt. Somebody who spent some time at a certain resort last stimmei vouches for the following, which, ii not strictly new, is at least a ver* creditable development of an ole story. A mother, a baby and a nurse were seated together on the verandc one morning with a number of othei guests. The mother was deeply en grossed in a book. The nurse was occupied by trying to keep the baby out of mischief. "No, no; th? baby mustn't have it," was her staple re mark, repeated over and over agair and invariably followed by wails from the thwarted infant. Present ly the mother, without lifting hei eyes from the book, said: "Do lei him have it, nurse, and at once. Anything to keep the peace." "But, ma'am"- bogan the nurse. "Do as I say," interrupted the mother. "The baby is to have whatever he wants." For an instant there was silence, then shrieks so piercing that the preceding wails were as nothing beside them. In accordance with his mother's orders the baby had just grasped a bumblebee.-Phila delphia Times. Wished to Bo Sure.

In Austria and Germany the army laws against gaming were and still are very strict. When the duchy of Baden was occupied by Prussian troops after their suppressing the insurrection of 1849, the officers quartered at Rastadt wero warned against playing at Baden Baelen. One summer evening King (then Prince) Wilhelm strolled into the gaming rooms and noticed an officer in civilian's clothes sitting at play. He had won twice on the red and was about to pick up his money when ho caught sight of the pi ince watching him. Terror stricken, he sat quiet, not daring to reach out for his winnings. Tho red turned up a third and then a fourth time. As thc maximum was quickly reach ed tho prince touched the officer on the shoulder and said gently, "Tako up your money and go, lest one of your chiefs should lind you here." Of course!lie soldier did not re quire to bo told twice. He got out immediately. Two days later there was a roview at Rastadt, during which Prince Wilhelm sighted tho culprit and sent for him. '"Lieuten ant -," he s;iid, "after you went away tho red turned up four times more. 1 prevented you from win ning four times thu maximum, which you would certainly have staked.

I Morse to the editor of the New Yor Observer, dated Paris, March S e 1830: "You have perhaps heard of th daguerreotype, so called, from th discoverer, M. Daguerre. It is on of the most beautiful discoveries c 1 the age. I don't know if you rc member some experiments of min in New Haven many years agc when I had my painting room nes to Professor Sillirnan's - exper: ! ments to ascertain if it were poss: ] ble to fix the image of the earner ] obscura. I was able to produce diJ ferent degrees of shade on pape dipped into a solution of nitrate c c I silver by means of different degree of light, but, finding that light prc duced dark and dark light, I pre 3 sumed the production of a true ire 1 age to be impractica ole and gave u the attompt. M. Daguerre has rea! t ized in the most exquisite manne 1 this idea. "A few days ago I addressed note to him requesting, as stranger, tho favor to sec his result and inviting him in return to se t my telegraph. I was politely invite [ to see them under these circum stances, for he had determined no to show them again until tho chan] hers had passed definitely on th proposition for the government t purchase tho secret of the discover; I and make it public. The day befor yesterday, the Tth, I called on J\J Daguerre, at his rooms in tho Die rama, to see these admirable results "Thoy are produced on a metalli surface, the principal pieces abou ? inches by 5, and they resembl aqua tint engraving, for they are i] simple chiara oscuro and not in col ors. But the exquisite min?tenos of the delineation cannot be con ceived. No painting or engravinj ever approached it. For example in a view up the street a distan sign would bo perceived, and th eye could just discern that ther were lines of letters upon it, but si minute as not to be read with th naked eye. By the assistance of ? powerful lens, which magnified 5 times, applied to the delineation every letter was clearly and dis tinctly legible, and so also were th minutest breaks and lines in th walls of the building and the pave ments of the street. The effect o the lens upon tho picture was in ? great degree like that of the tele scope in nature. "Objects moving are not impress ed. The boulevard, so constantly filled with xi moving throng of pe destrians and carriages, was perfect ly solitary, except an individua who was having his boots brushed His feet were compelled, of course to be stationary for some time, on being on the box of the bootblac] and the other on the ground. Con sequently his boots and legs ar well defined, but he is without body or head, because these were in mo tion. "The impressions of interior view are Rembrandt perfected. One o the plates is an impression of ; spider. The spider was not bigge: than the head of a large pin, but tin image, magnified by the solar micro scope to the sizo of the palm of th< hand, having been impressed on tin plato and examined through a lens was further magnified and showec a minuteness of organization hither to noi seen to exist. "You perceive how this discovery is therefore about to open a new field of research in tho depths o: microscopic nature. We are soon tc see if tho miuute has discovered lim its. The naturalist is to have a nev> kingdom to explore as much be youd tho microscope as the micro scope is beyond the naked eye. "But I am near the end of my pa per, and I have unhappily to give i melancholy close to my account 01 this ingenious discoveiy. M. Da guerre appointed yesterday at nooi to see my telegraph. He came anc passed more than an hour with me expressing himself highly gratifi?e at its operation, but while he was thus employed the great building ol the Diorama, with his own house, all his beautiful works, his valuable notes and papers, the labors oJ years of experiment, wore, unknowr to him, at that moment becoming tho prey of the flames. His secret, indeed, is still safe with him, bul the steps of his progress in the dis duvery and his valuable researchoi in science are lost to tho scientific world. I learn that tho Dioramt was insured, but to what oxtenl know not. I am sure all friends of science and improvement will mite in expressing the deepest sym pathy in M. Daguerre's loss and thc sincere hope that such a liberal sum will bo awarded him by his govern ment as shall onable him, in some degree at least, to recover from his loss.' '-Boston Transcript.
