t hate to aee the world go wrong—
I mean the people in it—
I wish they would ait down and think,
If only for a minute.
And try to act like honest men
And faithful, loving women:
Oh, what a blessing it would bo
To all in our dominion.
I hate to see a churchman,
With face so long and grave,
With tears a rolling down his cheeks,
Pray God my soul to save.
If I ank him for a dollar
To buy my babes some bread,
He’ll very soon dry up his tears,
And shake Ids saintly head.
I hate to see a man that looks
With longing eyes the while
Up in the hose's face, In hopes
From him to draw a smile;
And if perchance the boss should laugh,
And that way turn his eye,
This miserable, crawling thing
With Joy would nearly die]
I hate to see a checkweighman,
That is paid two dollars per day
By his humble fellow workmen.
Turning from them away,
And weighing for the operator, v
At the very same machine,
For a dollar and fifty cents a day.
Docs he think the men are green?
I hate to look upon a man
Taking'himself a wife,
And bringing lie* M UU B3tB»r I BOW,
To make her sad for life.
Saying, “My darling, yon murt do * '
All that my mother may say,
Because yon took a solemn vow

Tis enough to make one swear;
But it takes all sorts to make a world:

ball I told you about was held ahe was
the most beautiful there, and that was
saying a good deal, because two of the
Indies of the county were there—Miss
Adelina Plymplon, a great, showy crea
ture, dark and rich as a Spanish lady,
( ;uid pretty pink-and-white Dora David

“And, my, bow grand they wer<
dressed 1 Miss Adelina in ruby velvet
md Miss Dora in blue satin and lovely
'stiut-lacet Mbs Ethel wore a plain,
white silk, with ropes of pearls around
'bf neck, and a wreath of holly-green
leaves and red berries twined in her
diiniug, brown hair; but I can’t descnl>c
how perfectly lovely she looked; there
was something just dazzling about her,
uid young Master Anoel was bewitched
from the very first.
“Did his mother like thia ? Bless you,
to! She looked as black as a thunder
cloud every time they danced together—
which was so often as to attract atton
ion, I can tell you.
“You see, she had planned for him to
•nurry either Miss Adelina or Miss Dora
—for lx Ah were great heiresses—and she
had never dreamed that the little brown-
eyed lassie, the dependent, would over
turn hCr plan. - .

ally, when Master Ancel was off in Scot

which ended in the young lady packing
her trunk and leaving the house.
“And that wasn’t the worst of it!
The next morning, early, I was called
into madame’s rpom by a sharp ring of
her bell I knew the minute I got in

They were kept in a big silver box^airpM^
fancy-work on the outside, and white
satin on the inside. And yon don’t know
how lovely they looked against the pure
lining—those great, purple stones, even
shining drop like a bit of summer even
ing sky with a star set in it. A whole
set, sure—ueckjaoe, ear-rings and brace
lets, to say nothing, of ornaments for the
hair, And madame did look for all the
world like a queen when she wore them
“Let me see, the last time she had
them on was at the grand ball giVen in
honor of Master Anoel’s twenty-first
birthday. He was her only child, you
know, and heir to the big property. He
was the very apple of her eye, you cap
better believe, and had been watched
over like a prince of the Mood. He had
been educated at Eton or Oxford, or
some other of those places, and a finer
young man it would be hard to find—al
ways pleasant spoken to everybody, in
spite of his pride and dignity.
“He was very fond of Miss Ethel I
haven’t told you about her, have I? She
was a distant relative of the family. Her
father, Guy Seyne, had been an artist
and had gone away to France, and had
there married a girl who had nothin
but- a pretty face and an aristocrati
name, for her ancestors—the most oi
them—had lost everything, even their
lives, in that awful fuss they had over
there in France—I mean when they cat
off the heads of the king and the poor,
pretty qneem,, . ... v
“Gny and his wife managed to get
along somehow; but, as ill-luck would
have it, both were taken siok and dii d,
and when on hia death-bed he sent ^
letter to madame, who was his favorite
cousin, begging her to take care of his
daughter.
“It seems he had put the child in a
school ealled a pension in France, and
she could stay there until her education
was finished; then lie wanted her
brought to Cedarcroft And madame,
who was, I most say, as generous as sun
shine, was perfectly willing to do as her
poor cousin asked.
“Miss Ethel was only seventeen when
she,came to us, but such a mere slip of
a girl that you would have thought her
younger. Childish in her manners, too,
but very graceful and a perfect lady,
from the crown of her shining, chestnut
hair to the tip of her dainty feet
“Handsome? Weu, one wouldn’t be
likely to say #0 at first, lot her face was
so small and brown; but when she began
talking, or got interested in anything,
my! a color as rich ss a damask rose
crept into her cheeks, her pretty, white
teeth peeped out fiom between her red
lips, and bar big brown eyes sparkled
“Not a solitary sapphire sparkled
its white-satin lining.
“ ‘Oh, ma’am I’ I screamed out, for I
was dreadfully- startled; ‘however J3d
you b’pose the thieves got in? There
wasn’t a door nor a window left unfas
tened last night—I saw to them myself !
And all the silver is untouched—not a
upoongone! . ; * „ .
“ ‘Don’t be an idiot, Martha!’
dame snapped out ‘It wasn’t
ma-
a 00m-
ItV
that viper I’ve been wa7miirgTtff*i3jii2l
worn—it’s Ethel—Ethel Seyne ! I’m sure
she’s taken the sapphires 1’ ,
“And in spite of what everybody said,
she still stuck to this belief, and before»
Master Anoel came back to hinder her,
she had sent for detectives to find Mis<-
Ethel. who had gone, nobody knew
where.
“But, my stars ! I never saw a mad
der man than young Master Anoel when
ho returned and found out what had
happened! 7—
“He was just as fiery-tempered n>
l) s mother, only his was burned t<
white-heat instead of being only piping
red I ' •
“He told madame that if she didn’t
dismiss the detectives he would leav.
Cedarcroft and she should never look
ttpen his face again, und he fairly scared -
';er into quietness.
“Of course, his next business was to
find out the real thief. He questioned
and cross-questioned every one of the
servants, but ho couldn’t find out any
thing that pointed to the guilty party.
“ ‘There’s some mystery aboth t‘.
Martha,’ he said to me, one day, ‘and 1
mean to find it out, even if it takes all
my life 1 Poor Ethel I I wonder where
she is? I’d stake my soul on her iuno-
cence!’
“And he brooded over the matter s«
much that he grew pale and haggard
and his mother got real wonftd about
him. To tell the truth madamq herself
was half-sick about it, and had begun
to repent that she had been so hasty.
“And now that Miss Ethel, who, with
her bright smile and merry laugh, was
gone, Cedarcroft was anything but a
pleasant place.. It was so dismal day
times and had such strange noises nights,
that the servants really began to think
tho house wss haunted.
“One night, as I lay awake listening to
tho rain-drops pattering on the ro jf,
there came a gentle tap at the door.
“Thinking that it wjjf Mary Jane,
the house-maid, who had be&h pestered
of late witti an awful tooth, and who
had now, perhaps, come for some cre
osote, I hurried out of bed and opened
the door.
“There stood Master Anoel, his face
pale and excited.
“‘Hash, MarthaT he whispered:
‘don’t make any noise. Slip on your
dress quickly and follow me. I think I
have found the thief who dtole the sap
phires!’
“Hardly knowing whether I was awake
or dreaming, I did as he bad* me, and
then followed him down the long hall to
the end where tha door to the garret
“ ‘We must go up the stain,’ he whis
pered. 'They creak a littlp, but be as
careful as you can, and don’t make any
more noise than you can help.’.
“It was quite dark, but'when we had
got nearly half-way up I saw a dim light,
and when We reached the top he pointed
to the farther end of the garret and there
Crouching among old dusty spinning-
wheels and trunks, boxes and barrels of

trailihg night-gown.
“I knew by the short, gray curls strag
gling from out the lace-trimmed night
cap, that it was Madame Seyne t Bat
what was she doing Up there at that late
hoar of tho night ?
“It was a great mystery, and I stood
there staring first at her and then at
.Master Anoel.
“ ‘Do you see what she haa in her
hand, Martha?’ he whispered.
“I looked, aiid by tho dim light of the
night lump she carried, tin her hand I saw
something sparkling. It was a diamond
l >racelet! . ' - - • ■ 4
v “ ‘She’s going to hide that away,
young master whispered. ‘See, she i*
opening that old trunk I Now, look
and nee if she has anything else in the
trunk.’
“And, peering from behind the hngt
chimney in the middle of the garret, w.
hulh watched, breathlessly, as slowly
and carefully madame unlocked the
trunk.
“And what do you suppose we saw?
Bits of lace and ribbons, and odds and

The Ceutlnentoia In
A Poormarter’s Joke.
Borne days ago a well-dressed man, ap
parently in. the prime of life, entered the
office of the poormaster and said he was
siok and deaired, if possible, to obtain a
ticket to the genera] hospital Clerk
Arnold, seeing that he wm a stranger
and apparently in better circnmstances
than the alas* of individuals who usually
make such applications, expressed regret
at not being able to grant the request, ss
all parties receiving snob assistance
must be residents of the city and oome
recommended by a ratepayer. The
stranger admitted that he wm not a resi
dent having only reached Buffalo that
morning from Rochester. He wished it
understood, however, that he had seen
letter days and that he made the appli
cation in good faith. After some
farther conversation Clerk Arnold took
him to the PoonoMter’s room and intro
duced him to Mr. Kraft, who qnestioned
him closely, as he does all applicants for
ussistanoe. With his nsual good-heart-
edneas, Mr. Kraft hated to refuse a re
spectable person driven by the force of
circumstances to seek public charity, bnt
he did not know how he wm to get over
the role which requires all applicants for
admission to the general hospital to be
residents of the city. After puzzling
over the matter for several ruinates he
again began to question the stranger
and finally asked him what hia name
was. The stranger then replied, laugh
ingly:
“My name is Thompson. 1 arrived
this morning from Rochester. When at
home I am Poonnastsr of that city, and
being on business in Baffal >, I thought
I would call and see you.”
A hearty laugh greeted the redial, and
cur worthy Poormaster, relieved from an
.‘tnbarrassing situation, enjoyed the joke
imazingly. Mr. Thompson was then in-
r id need to the offldalaand after a pleae-
