MAKE YOUR MARK.
In tfce quarries should you toil.
Hake your mark;
Do you delve upon the soil.
Hake your mark;
In whatever path you go,
In whateve place you stand.
Moving swift or moving slow.
With a Arm and honest hand.
Make your mark.
Should opponents hedge your way.
Hake your mark;
Work by night, or work by day.
Hake your mark;
Struggle manfully and well.
Let no obstacles oppose;
None, right shielded, ever fell
By the weapons of his foes,
Make your mark.
What though born a peasant's son.
Make your mark;
Good by poor men can be done;
Make your mark;
Peasants' garbs may warm the cold,
Peasants' words may calm a fear:
Better far than hoarding gold
Is the drying of a tear;
Make your mark.
Life is fleeting as a shade;
Make your mark;
Marks of some kind must be made;
Make your mark;
Make it while the arm is strong,
In the golden hours of youth;
Sever, never make it wrong;
Make it with the stamp of truth;
Make your mark.
—David Barker.
THE OLD CHIFFONIER.
My Louis XV chiffonier is a very hand
some and graceful piece of furniture. It
Is inlaid and polished, with locks of bur
nished copper, and always seems to be
smiling, as if its red and white mosaics
were merry rosy lips.
It was given to me by my grandmoth
er, who inherited it from her grandfa
ther, and 1 verily believe that it once
stood in a boudoir of the palace of Marly.
Never was au innocent little piece of
furniture abased and rated so merciless
ly as my chiffonier was when I chanced
to think of it one day during my sojourn
.at the Perseus in Greece. You will no
<loubt ask why I thrust my trembling
hand through my hair and cried out,
"‘Miserable idiot,” without stating
'Whether the epithet was applied to my
self or to my chiffonier. Good heavens,
the only wonder was that I left a single
hair on my head! Judge for yourself.
I had been so fortunate some time
before as to be loved by the most charm
ing of women. I shall not attempt to
■describe her, not even by the color of her
hair; it is sufficient to say that for two
years I called her “my angel” and
“bright image of my dreams.” At the
•end of that period 1 allowed one of my
friends to say to me in speaking of her,
“How could yon be such a fool?” She
sent me back my letters, and I neglected
to retain hers, but put the whole lot
into a drawer of my old chiffonier,
without thinking to turn the key.
That chiffonier was in my room: my
room was in my mother’s chateau; my
mother's chateau was eight hundred
leagues away, in the middle of Pro
vence. In setting off unexpectedly on
a diplomatic mission I had completely
forgotten to destroy those remains of an
attachment which had been delightful—
as long as it lasted.
When I accidentally called out the
memory of those letters from some ob
scure corner of my brain, I started up
in surprise and shame, for I knew that
my thoughtlessness might seriously com
promise a woman who had done noth
ing to deserve such treatment at my
hands. I felt that my conduct had been
unworthy of a gentleman, and in a fine
frenzy I rushed out of the house, in
quired for the first steamship bound for
Marseilles, took passage, and listening
to nothing but the voice of my con
science returned to France.
A week later 1 arrived at the maternal
abode, and 1 will spare you a recital of
the ejaculations, the “What! You 0
George! Why! So soon?” which greeted
me as soon as 1 appeared. My mother
nearly stifled me with her embrace, and
was sure that something dreadful had
happened to me, and I had great diffi
culty to reassnre her. When she had
grown calm 1 said in as indifferent a
tone as possible:
“Will yon have my valise sent to my
room, mother dear?”
“Certainly, my son; you must be tired
out,” she answered. Then summoning
a servant, she said, “Take my son's bag
gage to the blue room, Pierre.”
“You mean the green room,” I added.
“No. the blue room,” persisted my
mother.
“But the green room is my room.”
“It was yours once, George,” she said
smilingly.
“And whose is it now?” I asked in sur
prise, and my mother pointed to the
■door, saying merrily:
“Here comes the present occupant.”
- “Gabrielle!” I cried, going to meet my
cousin, the loveliest and most charming
of girls, with abundant blonde hair, eyes
as blue as heaven, a smile of childish
innocence and teeth like pearls. It was
she, of all persons, who was occupying
the green room, and who no doubt had
ransacked the drawers and cupboards.
Unfortunate, thrice unfortunate man
that I was!
Gabrielle, gay, artless and confiding,
though a trifle sliy, gave me her hand,
looking delicious as she said:
“How do you do, Cousin George?”
My face must have betrayed my con
fusion as I took her hand, and looked
searchingly for some sign of dissimula
tion in her soft eyes. Had she found the
letters; had she read them? To tell the
truth Mrs. had loved me ardently,
and had been so imprudent as to express
lier sentiments in writing, running the
gamut of ohs and ahs with plentiful ex
clamation points attached thereto. And
suppose little Gabrielle had read them?
I blushed at the thought.
But quite calmly she said, “How do
you do, Cousin George?’ That was all,
and in my great palm lay a soft, cool,
maidenly little hand.
Ah, but what abyss is deeper than a
woman’s heart? as the psalmist says;
suppose she had read the letters! The
only way to make sure was to go into
the room and look for them. Gabrielle’s
room! What sweet melody in the words,
yet I felt that I dared not enter that
sanctuary, although X had known my
cousin since she was a child.
“Come, George, and see how prettily
I have arranged your room,” die said
suddenly.
Joy, bliss, ecstasy filled me as she
spoke; I was saved. Innocence had come
to the rescue of depravity!
Lightly and gracefully she ran np the
staircase; what a pretty figure she had!
I followed her like a culprit, feeling al
most afraid to go, but yet I must at all
hazards get my letters.
My former room was perfectly charm
ing, decked out in blue and white, and
with no odor of cigars anywhere. The
little bed was modestly draped with
snowy curtains which looked like the
wings of guardian angels. I looked
round anxiously for the old chiffonier;
there it stood as usual.
“May I have some water, Cousin Ga
brielle? I am dying of thirst,” I said.
She took up the caraffe, but I, artful
demon, had already observed that it was
empty.
“Wait a minute. I will get yon some
water,” she said, and left the room.
I rushed to the chiffonier and opened
the drawer. Horror! It was empty.
The next instant my cousin returned,
gave me a glass of water, then showed
me her album, and then we talked mer
rily, just a3 we used to when we were
playfellows.
But where were my letters? Had she
found them, and hidden them away, or
had she burned them? My head seemed
to swim as I wondered.
As soon as I could think of a pretext I
left Gabrielle, and in the hallway I met
my aunt, her mother. She greeted me
joyfully, then shook her finger at me in
a mysterious way, and with a very know
ing air whispered:
“Come with me, yon naughty, careless
boy.” I followed her into her own room,
where she opened a drawer, saying mean
while:
“When we first arrived here it for
tunately occurred to me that before put
ting a young lady into a bachelor’s room
it would be well for me to look about it
a little. I have had some experience of
young men and their ways.”
Here she put a package into my hands.
Heavens and earth, mj’ letters!
I threw my arms around my aunt’s
neck, kissed her rapturously and con
fessed everything. Oh, how happy I
was! My dear little cousin Gabrielle—
how happy I was!
A week passed. One morning when I
got up I found a tiny piece of paper ly
ing on the floor, as if it had been slipped
under my door. I picked it np. It was
a letter.
“What does this mean?” I thought,
and then 1 unfolded it and read:
“Dear Cousin—Why do you not tell
mamma all about it?’
“All about it!” What does she mean?
•‘Dear cousin.” It is from Gabrielle.
I did not understand it at all, and
waited anxiously for the breakfast hour.
When I heard my cousin go down stairs
I darted out and was going to speak to
her, but she blushed, turned her face
away, and putting a piece of paper into
my hand said hurriedly:
“Take back your letter and speak to
mamma.”
My letter! I rushed out into the gar
den and read the missive. Thunder and
lightning! it was my writing, my style,
my name.
“Yon are adorable, therefore I adore
you. Will you listen to me? Will you
let me devote my life to yon? A word
from yon and I throw myself at your
feet George.”
It was indeed my letter—it was num
ber one of my effusions to the ex-queen
of my heart. It had slipped out of the
package of letters, and Gabrielle, find
ing it in the chiffonier, thought that I
had placed it there for her, and her an
swer was, “Speak to mamma.” The
result of the accident was I spoke to
“mamma,” and I married Gabrielle. I
adore her and am the happiest husband
in the world.
The christening will take place next
month. Thanks, thanks, old chiffonier!

A Skeleton Behind the Pulpit.
The First Baptist church, situated at
the corner of Third avenue and Sixteenth
street, West Troy, was the scene of a
shameful and sacrilegious disturbance
during the services Sunday evening. The
pastor, the Rev. A. M. Prentice, was in
the pulpit preaching his Sunday even
ing discourse, when suddenly a noise
was heard in the vicinity of his large
chair, immediately behind the pulpit.
Then, with a jump, a skeleton appeared,
with dangling arms and legs, directly
over the chair, having come from below
instead of above, as would be imagined
of one appearing in a house of worship.
The congregation were dumfounded,
some screaming and others laughing.
The Rev. Mr. Prentice continued his
discourse without further interruption.
Investigation showed the skeleton to
be of paper, neatly and correctly ar
ranged, and was evidently the work of
boys. They could enter the basement by
a side door, and having the skeleton ar
ranged with a cord fastened to the chair
the latter was thrown down stairs, and
at the same time the skeleton appeared.

One of Onr Rural Friends.
Some amusement was caused in a car
on the Sixth Avenue elevated road Fri
day by the unsophisticated pomposity
of a young man from some rural retreat
not known to the interested observers in
the car. The young man was apparently
escorting two country lassies about
town, and he felt- that the task was one
of great importance to the public as
well as of pleasure to himself. He talked
in a very loud tone of voice and essayed
to explain everything that passed in
view to liis companions. After he had
succeeded in attracting the attention of
all of the other passengers to his own
party he unconsciously furnished an in
centive to general merriment by rising
pompously just after the train had left
Eighteenth street on its down town trip
and drawling In an affected tone: “I
say, conductor, stop at Fourteenth
street, please."—New York Times.
