The gnn makes glorious the window-pane, And falls across the floor in bars of gold; The young blood dances in my veins again— It was a dream that I was tired and old! It was a dream. I see a form of grace, No vaguely-outlined creature of the air; I see you, darling, with your girlish face, I see your brown eyesand you: - wind-tossed hair. I see the tiger lilies in the field, In mottled glory o’er a bed of green; I see them wave their heads and lightly yield To the west wind; they scarcely deign to lean, For they are queenly flowers, fit for your brow. Do you remember how we wandered through The fields to gather them? They’re waving now, The tiger lilies that I sought with you. I see the bobolinks, in leafy June, Sing fluttering above the clover bed; What bubbling joy was in their merry tune! I’ve wondered if all bobolinks were dead ? They swayed upon the alders by the stream, Ah, how they sang as we two listed near— I hear them now! It cannot be a dream, For, as I hear them, I can see you, dear. Let us go back! Oh, sweetheart, let us go, To be again the birds and flowers among! Let us live o’er the life of long ago, When hope was highest and hearts were young. I see your face before me—ah! I wake!— I see a grave with grasses th ck above; You cannot come—not even for my sake— But I can come to you, and will, my love! —Stanley Waterloo. KATE’S EERO. The sun shone pleasantly in the sit ting room of Dr. Kirkdale’s residence, where his daughter Kate and a young lady friend were practising a new duet on the piano. Somehow Nisi Kate, who was very proficient in music, and played readily at sight, made a great many mistakes this morning, and growing impatient, rood abruptly from the instrument and declared she wouldn’t play another note. Mollie Emerson laughed. “Just try this last page over,” she said. “There’s no use,” replied Kate; “music won’t drop from my fingers this morning. I don’t know what is the matter with me.” “You must have fallen in love,” laughed Molli?, idly ruining her fingers up and down the keys. “In love,” echoed Kate. “I would like to see the man who could make me fall in love with him.” “I guess a certain young gentleman would like to see him, too, if he could do it by looking in the glass,” respond ed Mollie archly. But Kate didn’t blush, as she ex pected, nor seem at all confused, show ing that the thrust didn’t reach her heart. She stood looking at the plants in the window. “What a lovely tea rose!” exclaimed Mollie, catching sight of it and run ning to inhale its delicious fragrance. *‘Y< u have the best looking plants of any I know, Kate. lbw do you man age them?” “Oh, no differently from any one ehe, I presume ; it is warm and light here all the time, and the windows opening to the floor give them plenty of fresh air every morning.” “That beautiful tea rose Fred gave mt just before he went away is almost devoured with rose bugs, and I have tried everything to get clear of them. .--Can you tell me what is good? Mercy! here is one in your own bush—there! I have dropped it!” And Mollie went down on the carpet to hunt for it. “There he is!” exc'aimel Kate. Mollie raised her head and looked in quiringly. Kate was gazing out into the ttreet, with heightened color and a smiling face. “Where?" asked Mollie in surprise. Kate started and turned confusedly. “Oh, arc you lookhig for that bug yet?” she asked. “What? ’ cried Mollie, wondering if Kate bad lost her wits, and looking »o SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY. JULY 28, 1888. puzzled, as she opened her eyes wide, that the latter burst out laughing. “Who did you mean?” demanded Mol lie. Kate turned decidedly red now. “I was referring to a young gentle man passing,” was her answer. “And, pray, who was he?” asked Mollie, rising from the floor and looking out. “You can’t see him now, and—in fact, I don’t know - who he is; but ho passes here several times a day, or has lately; and one day, when I was watering the flowers, my handkerchief, which I had thrown carelessly around my neck, was blown through the open window, and he sprang over tho fence and caught it for me.” “Lucky event! But tell mo why he didn’t open the gate and walk in, in stead of leaping over the railing?” “You goose!” cried Kate. And then they both laughed, and waltzed to the piano, where tho new music lay fresh and attractive. They sat down, and rattled it off this timo as if they knew it by heart. Molli 3 kept her bright eyes on tho window, in hopes of seeing the charm ing young man; but ho didn’t pass again w’hile she was there. It had only been for the last few weeks that Kato had noticed him at all, and then she was struck by his being a stranger. Since that time he had passed the house regularly every day, but no one seemed to know who he was. The very next day after Mollie’s visit Kate sat sewing near the window. It was an unusually warm day, and she had thrown open tho French casement in front of the house, which opened di rectly on the pretty dooryard. Her father’s office was in a wing which led out of tho sitting-room, and Kate could hear tho talk and laughter of Mingo, tho irrepressible colored youth who had charge of it, and his little sis ter, who he ped her mother preside in the kitchen. Kate was just led to thinking what a happy raco-the colored people were, and how Mingo, in particular, was a good natured, frolicsome fellow, never so happy as when in mischief, when sud denly she heard a sharp, strange noise, and with wild shrieks the door from the office was burst open, and Mingo’s little sister rushed in enveloped in flames. She rushed through the open window, and Kate, terrified beyond measure, was about to follow her, when her unknown friend, as if by magic, was by the poor girl’s side, and, throwing her on the grass, had his coat off and around her m a moment. Kate snatched the piano cover and rushed to bis assistance. By this time the poor child’s cries had drawn every body in the neighborbool to the spot, and when the flames were entirely sub dued they carried her in. Fortunately, the doctor’s buggy hove in sight down the street and he was soon at home. The child was frightfully burned about her face and neck, and all were busy m fulfilling the doctor’s orders trying to find out how - it happened. All had forgotten about the hero who had saved her life—even Kate—until, enter ing the room with a roll of lint, she saw him searching for something. Going up to him, she noticed how pale and suffering he seemed, and putting out her hand was about to say how grateful they were when he interrupted her: “My hat—can you tell me where it is, please?” llj spoke with difficulty, and leaned on a chair as if faint. Kite called her father quickly. He turned and camo over to him. “Why, Abercrombie, is it you? ’ was rhe doctor’s exclamation; but as he put cut his hand to grasp the young man’s he saw they were both dreadfully burned and blistered. “Ah, my dear boy, this must be attended to!’ said tho doctor, and leading tho young man to tho office he dressed the burns. Kato waited outside with a beating heart. The burned girl hi 1 been carried to her mother’s room and the kind neigh bors bad departed after learning how Mingo had caused tho explosion by some experiment among the doctor’s bottles. Presently Dr. Kirkdalo camo out ot the office. e “Kate,” he said, “can you spare » room upstairs for Mr. Abercrombie? He is hurt pretty severely, and I fear has inhaled some of the flames; and I don’t want to send him to his boarding house, where there is no one to take c<?e of him. I want to watch him mysc.i.” “Oh, yes, papal” cried Kate, her cheeks and heart aglow for her hero, while the tears rai led down her face a? she flew about to prepare the very best room for his reception. Young Mr. Abercrombie did not re gret the pain ho had endured when ho was brought under the roof of such a charming girl as Dr. Kirkdale’s daugh ter, and though ho saw nothing of her at first, yet ehe gradually came to visit him once or twice a day with a bou quet of her own lovely fl >wers, which lay, after she was gone, next his heart. Then it was queer at first but after wards very delightful, to have her feed him on the dainties her own hands pre pared. And it is not surprising that ho kissed those fair fingers one day so lovingly that they blushed clear to their tips and not many weeks after proudly wore the engagement ring of Kate’s hero.--[At lanta Journal.

Erskine was al ways extremely sensitive to alack of in. teres tby his audience. “Who can get on with that wet blanket of a face of yours before him?” he said once to Gar row, who was engaged with him in a cause. His first speech in the House of Lords was a humiliating failure, owing to the action of Chatham, who, as a speaker began, took up a pen and made a few notes as if with tho intention of replying; but after listening a few moments, he dashed pen and paper upon the floor with a con temptuous smile. This indifference, real or pretendel, completely upset Erskine, whose “voice faltered; he struggled through the remainder of his speech, and sank into his seat dis pirited, and shorn of his fame.” Burke was also extremely sensitive. Sclwyn relates that he rose of one occasion to speak, holding a bundle of papers in his hand, when a rough-hewn country mem ber started up anß said: “Mr. Speaker, I hope the honorable gentleman does not mean to read that large bundle of papers, and to bore us with a long speech into the bargain.” Burke was so suffocated with rage as to be incapa ble of speech, and rushed out of the house. “Never before,’’ says Selwyn, “did I see the faLle realized of a lion put to flight by the braying of an ass.” - [Gentleman’s Magazine.

There are few banks in Now York that regard their clerks as above suspi cion. In those days, when old and trusted employes are making hasty trips to Canada, tho banks think if they are not able to lock tho stable door, the next best thing is to roll a big stone against it. The stone in this case is the detec tive. Most of the banks employ detec tives to shadow their clerks and study their habits. It is the rule to keep a detective on the trail of a clerk for about two weeks every six months. Where a clerk has been but a short time in the employ of a bank ho is watched even more closely than this. An old employe, whose habits are known to bo steady, is shadowed maybe only once a year. Then a clerk may bo shadowed two nights in succession, and not again for some time. Besides, the clerk may come within range of tho detective’s eye when tho sleuth-hound is engaged in shadowing some other clerk. So a bank clerk cannot bo too par ticular where ho goes and with whom he associates, for he never knows when the eye of the detective is upon him. Just a little too much conviviality with one’s friends may cost him his job or prevent what was almost certain pro motion. There is practically no chanco for him to explain or excuse his con duct, for there is probably not a bank President in tho city who will admit that he employs detectives to watch his clerks. While tho system is an offensive one, aside from tho banks being justified in adopting it, it results in some good to clerks. On account of it there are any number of bank clerks who could not be even induced to enter a saloon or a place of questionable reputation. Natur ally, a person feels, to say the least, un comfortable when ho thinks that his steps are being dogged. Particularly is this so if he is going to call upon his sweetheart, and he reflects that tho de tective will prol ably not be contented until he finds out all about the young lady, and in consequence imagines that his courtship may become common gos- I sip about the bank. —[New York World. Painting Baby’s Face. A letter from Paris informs us that the doctors are again at war with silly ’ mothers. belonging to the fashionable ! circles. The latest fanaticism of La Mode is to app'y the horrors of face painting to little children.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT. A well covered head may be poorly I filled. Wit cuts quickly, but sense cuts pru-| dcntly. Take care of truth, and tho errors | will take care of themselves. You should forgive many things la' others, but nothing in yourself. Tho average common sense of human ity is safer to trust than the fine spun ideas of theorists. To act naturally is considered green, but to be trained to act, even like a fool will win admiration. Y'ou know yourself better than any one can teach you, but do you know yourself as you ought? If you must work with others, give ■ more than you take, and you will bn more independent than if you do the re verse. Goodness and virtue should be recog nized, not because it springs from a particular source, but because of its im perishable goodness. Wit is brushwood; judgment is tim ber. Tho one gives tho greatest flame; the other yields the most durable heat; and both together make tho best fire. > Philosophers have noticed that when a man makes up his mind that he has got to practice economy ho generally tries to begin with his wife's expenses. What maintains one vice would bring up two children. Remember many a d little makes a iniklo; and further, bo ware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship. The Qunint Diinknnla. At Manchester, Ind., a quaint and ; most peculiar religious body has been io conference assembled, who are well within the third quarter of their second century of religious activity on this con tinent. Tho Indiana conference represents the western Dunkards, a Baptist sect of Ger man de cent. Tho principal portion of « this peculiar people is found located in Pennsylvania and Indiana, though there is a considerable number in Kansas, and smaller congregations in tho farming sections of other western states. Tho German Baptists or Dunknrds number over 00,000, have 350 churches or con gregationl', and 1578 ministers. They are governed by bishops. The Pennsyl vania Dunkard is of stolidest “Dutch” order. Their traditional headquarters are at Germantown, but they have scattered wi lely therefrom. They aro always farmers and rural mechanics, and are always well-to-do. The Dunk ard wears clothes of a coarse gray cloth cut in the Quakerish fashion; the women are not permitted jewelry, lace or “dress improvers,” and wear poke bonnets of the homeliest while the men wear for headgear a stiff, broad-brimmed felt hut. not wholly un becoming to them. They are very sim ple and formal in manners, each sex saluting their own members with u kiss on meeting. The men aro alw.iy; clean shaven. Out in Indiana the question of permitting younger males to grow moustaches his been under consider- | ation. It has been decided against them. Alexander Mick founded this strange sect in Germany in 1708. Rigid ad herence to tho forms instituted by Christ himself and urged upon His fol lowers by tho Apostle Paul, and plain ness and manners, were the two funda mental principles in tin creed. It was a creed that prove 1 so attractive that it was accepted by hundreds within a year or two, and tho earlier experiences of the Friends were repeated. As a result of this Pastor Mack or ganize! an emigration to the colony founded by Mr. Penn. The entire church migrated.
