NOT GLA?, NUrt SAID. You sang a little song to-day It was not sad, it was nofrgay? The very theme was nigh outworn. Two lovers met, as lovera may; They had not ruet?since yesterday; They must not meet again?till morn! And did they meet again, my dear? Did morning come and find them here ' To see each other's eyes again? Alas! on that you are not clear; For hearts will shift as winds will veer, And love can veer like any vane. ?Ah! no, i think some suddon?craze, Some bitter spite befel their days; What was that plaintive minor for? No more together lie their ways; Remote, perhaps, the lover strays? Perhaps the lady comes no more. So strange the numbers sob and swell; No; there's no guessing what befell. It is the sweetest song you sing; Net sad, and yet?I cannot tell; Not glad, and yet?'tis very well Like love, like life, like anything. ?Macmill-n's Magazine. A Prirst Who Wo* With Ney. "Were you with Ney's army wheu he turned it over to Napoleon?"' "I was, and I well remember the day ? that Ney's act of treachery took place. Ney's and the straggling army of Napo leon met at Oloe bridge, better known at the time as the bridge of the Holy Ghost. Napolecn's army was encamped a few miles from the bridge, opposite our lines. The morning after the cucampinent we saw some dags of traru in advance of Na poleon's army and it was then that the men began to suspect Ney's plans, but the suspicions wore not even whispered. Soon the ?ugs disappeared and Ney gave ord ers to prepare for an attack and marched on to the bridge. When we reached the opposite side of the bridge we noticed ?'. about a dozen men advancing from Na poleon's army on horseback, bearing Ilau's of truce. Our army, which, all told, did not exceed 20,0-00 men, came to a halt. The men on horseback advanced and the cen ter one of the group proved to be Napole on himself. At sight of him Ney ahd his stair dismounted. Napoleon also dis mounted and was warmly embraced by Ney and his officers. Gt course a shout in honor of Napoleon went up from our ranks. Well, history has recorded the rest. We were forced to combine with Napoieeu's army of hoys between the ages of 10 and 20 years and go on to Waterloo and defeat."?Father Neyrou in Chicago Tribune. How to Use Pianos in Summer Time. In the-hot weather a piano should not be placed in a damp room or left open in a draft of air, for damp'icss is the most dangerous enemy. It causes the strings and tuning-pins to rust and the cloth used in the construction of the keys of action to swell, whereby the mechanism will move sluggishly or often stick together. Continued dampness will also injuriously affect the varnish and raise the soft fibers of the sounding-board, thus forming ridges. Extreme heat is scarcely less in jurious. A piano should be closed when not in uso, iu order to prevent the ac cumulation of dust, pins, etc., on tho sounding- board, and yet it should be opened occasionally and daylight allowed to strike the keys; otherwise the ivory may turn yellow. An India rubber or cloth cover should protect the instrument from bruises or scratches. Moths may be kept out of a piano by a lump of cam phor-wrapped In soft paper placed in the inside covor. A new piano should be tuned at least once every two or three months during the liest year, and at lojiger internals. thereafter..- -New York Mail and Express. Profits of the Book Trade. The public being level-headed in busi ness affairs, it is not surprising that out of five millions of readers only five thou sand at the utmost are williug to pay $1.50 for what should not cost over 50 cent. The trado are well satisfied with such small sales, since the ,lget up" of a $1.50 novel does not cost moro than 20 cents a copy, or 81,000 for 5,000 copies; for these the pub lic pays $7,500 or a clear profit of $0,500 on tho $1,000 invested. Of this profit the au thor receives only $750, the remaining 85,750 are what the trado make out of his brains, time and labor. To get the same amount of profit out of a 50-cent edition the trade would be obliged to handle nearly 30,000 copies; but then tho author's royalty, if only ten ?ants a copy, would be nearly $3,000; a fact of no concern to the trade, so long as they can make as much out of 5,000 cop ies at $1.50, as out of S.),000 nt so cents.? Cor. Philadelphia Times. Immature Meat is I'n wholesome. Immature meat is unhealthy for two reasons; first, it contains no nourishing elements, and consequent!} only relieves the symptom of hunger without actually recuperating the system; second, it is ex tremely indigestible, rolling up into raassses in the stomach, and not disente grating, like the fibrous flesh from older animals. A child's stomach is quite un able to cope, with a piece of bob veal; iu Its violent efforts to remove tho offending substance nature not Infrequently re moves the little sufferer. Lob veal is the meat of a calf under four weeks old; the great bulk, of that seized hi New York, however, is from a few hours to three days old.?Dr. Cyrus Edsou in the Foi urn.

Joaqatn Miller Talles About tho Llttls j Celestials?All'octlonate Creatures. To one who hns seen all the world, there is not so much that is picturesque in the Chinese colony here: and I could not truthfully indorse nearly all that enthui astic tourists say of either their shrewd ness or interest-In any way. For example, as a lack of common sense, they have I marble and stone seats in one of their big j stores here, io accommodate customers, j The best and biggest of these stone seats have marble backs. Enough to paralyse the spine of a white man?even a China : mau, I should think?in live minutes. And I could go through tho colony here all day, and picT; out dozens oT like exhibi tions of a low order nf common sense. Some color is to be found hero, and that ft a relief to the eye which has tu put up with the mournful dress of the average American, alter a residence in Mexico. But it is not very picturesque. The pig tall is simply repulsive. Ar.fi a Christian i Chinaman who had ids hair cut is hardly I more attractive. His coarse, thick Tartar hair is perhaps at its best when closely shaven and tied up in a cue, after all. As for the rolling, lolling, lazy and hideously helpless Chinese women, I know of no ob ject to which you can safely apply that much used and much abused word, dis gusting, as to one of these pitiful and to tally inane creatures. The one real aud uninterrupted delight hero is the Chinese children. They are not very numerous; but they are bright, won derfully full of fuu, and very beautifuBy dressed. There is a confusion of sex, how ever. Did I ever tell you tn&6 a Mexican boy ba'iy puts ou his little pantaloons tho day ho is born and wears them right along? Well, the babies of both sexes here seem to do that, so far as I can find out. It is worth while any<lay to climb the hill into the heart of San Francisco, and half way to the top, to see these children run aud tumble and laugh and play in their peculiar and highly colored clothes, just like other children. They have not much room, but they arc chock full of heart and light spirits, and make the most of what iittie room they have iu their nar | row streets. Like a Iittie donkey or a lit tle darky, the Chinaman is at his best, so far as personal levity goes, when he Is very small No trouble seems to come this way for these kittenish little heathen* these curi ous littie citizens, tumbling around under the legs of their sedate ^ireg up here on the pleasant hill overlooking-$kc glorious bay and all the battle ships. The boycott and the Chinese question are terms which I reckon they have never heard. Aud whatever maybe tied up for them in their uncertain future, let them shout out the spirit#of play that is in them now to the full. Care will come soon enough to our colored citizens of Asiatic descent. The Chinese parent is the most affection ate fever saw among all the nations of the earth. And this may be in part be cause the children are not numerous here; but it is no guess work to say that it i? largely because the child reveres tha parent. .To see a little fellojpr quit his play suddenly and run and lay his little red or yellow silk head tip against his adoring father, as lie stands on tho sidewalk watching him, is funny, if not affecting. ?Joatjuin Miller in Chicago Times. The Little Girl of To-Day. A handsome, well-formed girl of 12 years who Is elaborately dressed three or tour times a day, whoso only chaperon seems to be her maid, who walks the ver anda of a large hotel with the savoir fairo of the woman of the world, who sees her bed usually at 12 o'clock, who donates Jier stocking us a souvenir to her boy lov ers?"amS^FhA with more self-possession than sweetness," is qttf& capable of asking for the best place in the dance tu-s? t|ie table, can not, will not grow into the sort of woman that one would want boys to marry; and yet this is the typical small girl. I quite believe that sh? comes usu ally of the nouveau riche, for people who ure really good form do not cast their chil dren upon the dangerous waters of public parlors in large hotels. Good, strong, hearty, healthful children in picturesque clothes?for they do not need to be ugly to be proper?give pleasure to everybody; but "Frou-Frou" in miniature, like an im itation of a puppet, is to be frowned upon derided, and eventually driven from posi tion, because she is neither good for the present nor does she pr oiHlse better for the future.?New York Star. The " Itus Doctor" <;f Uerlin. The Berliners are greatly exercised over the person of an American whom they contemptuously nickname "the Hag Doc tor," but whom they envy most cordially. According to Berlin reports, (his Individ ual is neither more nor less than an Amer iran physician to whom the government at Washington has intrusted the import ant charge of overseeing tiio disinfection of all the rags exported from Europe Co to the United States. His stamp alone will allow them to land ou American soil. According to the some rumor, he is be lieved to receive the round Salttry of $20,000 from his government, besides a fee of OS pfennigs from the exporter of every bale of rags he inspects, the daily number of which is computed at about 400! This mid the salary together would give the "rag doctor" an annual income almost equal to that of the president, it seems remarkable that thus far lltvle or no-.hhu has been heard of anxious competitors for j so snug a berth.?Foreign Letter Saved by tin- "r'rmtl n??l."
