IM wen wraoc or root
It grleTM me so
To think I can you pela
That I my gift must ruo
And taka It book again.
I do not know
If yon or I wan right:
Toni tears have eaoeed me wee,
And If yon weep again
I shall grow mom contrite
And covet all your pain.
I do not know
Nor can which one waa right.
Tor whan your dear ayes flow
I cannot apeak for pain.
And tear mists blind my sight
Until yon smile again.
Bo let It go—
We may have both been wrong,
Or partly so,
But sin Is purged by pain.
And royal eouls are strong
To wound and heal again.

ABOUT STRAWBERRIES.
The Maes Which They Occupy I
Lettree.
The ancients did not know anything
about the strawberry. It was not cul
tivated until the fifteenth oentury, says
the Pittsburgh Times, and perhaps first
in England. Shakespeare was fond of
it, as he was of all good things. So
muoh Is to be Inferred from what he
makes Gloster say to the bishop of Ely
in the third scene of the third sot of
“Blehard III:"
"My Lord of Ely, when I was last tq
Holborn I saw good strawberries in
your garden there. I do beseech you
to send for some of them.”
And the bishop, undoubtedly pleased
st the compliment to his garden, re
plied:
"Marry, and I will, my lord, with all
my hesrt.”
In "Henry V.P there Is an interest
ing suggestion as to how they were
cultivated in the early day, as he makes
the bishop say:
"The strawberry grows underneath
the nettle; and wholesome berries
thrive and ripen best neighbored by
fruit of baser quality.”
Old Izaak Walton, most genial of
spirits, author of the “Complete Angleri
or,the Contemplative Man’s Recreation,"
who, when he retired from buslnsaa
with a competency, "lived mostly In
the families of eminent clergymen of
England, of whom he was much be
loved"—he, too, was fond of the glo
rious berry, for did he not preserve ths
saying of Dr. Boteler, that “doubtless
God could have made a better berry,
but doubtless God never did?”
What did Horace Walpole do with
the twenty thousand pounds a year he
derived from the sinecure offices which
his affectionate father bestowed on
him? He spent it in building the
Gothic mansion which he called Straw
berry Hill.

tality Greater Than Black.
Many queer incidents are to be met
with at the pnbltc Institutions in this
city, says the Philadelphia Record.
The one that has attracted the most at
tention from a scientific standpoint for
some time past was a race for life or
death between a wee black atom of hu
manity and a white one just as small.
At one of the foundling hospitals up
town the other day a colored male child
and a white male child, exactly the
same age, and weighing the same to
the fraction of an ounce, were received
at the same time. They were both suf- I
fertng from ths same ailment, which
appeared to be rpther lack of strength
than disease. The pulse and tempera
ture were the same, and they were
placed In the Incubators at the same
time. Here was a capital chance to
make a teat of the stamina in the two
races, and the doctors entered Into the
affair as heartily as if the little ones
were their own. It was a close call for
either pne at first, but finally the pick
aninny seemed to grow stronger. Then
the white baby forged ahead, but
finally gave way to the colored one.
The white youngster never seemed to
give up heart. He even looked hope,
nil, while the black one appeared to
view a continuation of the contest as
useless. One day the colored baby gave
up the struggle and died, but the white
youngster took a turn for the better,
and now looks as if he would live out
man’s Biblical allotment of years.
| A DAINTY STRIPED BASS.
The fish Was Too nifnllUk to Soroasbls
for Its Food.
liPlsh In captivity," said a man of
long acquaintance with fishes, "often
become very tame, and sometimes they
develop peculiarities In an aquarium
that I waa connected with once, some
years ago, we had in a table tank si.c
striped baas, varying from six to thir
teen inches in length. Five of these
bass used to feed ravenously, but the
sixth one, the biggest of all, would wait.
The five would rush up and hustle for
the food when It was put In the water;
the big one would lie down In one cor
ner and not come up at all. I thought
he must be off bis feed, and I thought
I'd have to get some delicacy for him.
“But one day when I had fed the
others, the big one still lying on the
bottom, I tapped on the side of the
tank and held out a live killie. He
came np and took the killie sharply;
there wasn't anything the matter with
him; he was lively and all right, and I
couldn't account for his holding back,
except that he considered It beneath
his dignity to dome up then and scram
ble with the reqt for the food thrown
in the tank, and that be preferred to
wall
“After that regularly I fed the big
bass separately: after I had pqt the
food for the rest in the tank 1 would
hold out his and he would come up and
take it out of my hands I fed him In
this way every day for four months,
until we lost him and all the rest of
the fish in this tank by an aocldenL"

'* ‘No,* said the rustic; 'can't you fix
me up a bit?’
“ ‘Certainly,’ replied the clerk. ’Our
charge for "In memoriam” notices is

A TeU of Two Brothois,
Talking about the uasociaMUty of

my own knowledge that is, I think,
without a parallel, rays a writer in a
Cincinnati paper. I have a friend liv
ing in New York who roomed ter five
years in the same house with a young
man, and in that time never made hie
acquaintance or even learned his name.
He went on a hunt one summer In
the Adirondacks, and there met the

ouse with him. A conversation

then learned that they were of the

asked my friend. "I don’t know.
