ON THE EVE OF THE WED
DING.
Oh, love, before we part to night,
Before the last “I will” is spoken—•
Before the ring has touched my hand,
Os pure, true, endless loVe the token—
Before the church with holy rite,
Her blessing on our love is given,
Look straight into my eyes with yours,
And aft-swer me in the sight of Ileuven,
Is there within your heart es hearts
One lingering shadotv cf regret—
One thought that you have chosen ill?
Oh! speak—’tis not too late .jet.
Is there in all this world of outs,
One you have ever known or seen,
Whom, if you had earlier seen or knovrti,
You would have crowmd your chosen
queen?
Is there? I pray you tell me now,
And I will hold you bound no more,
I will not flinch to hear the truth-,
It could not be so 6ad, so sore,
to know it now, as it would be
It by and by a shadow fell
Upon the sunshine of our home;
So, if you ever loved me--tell.
I’ll hold you pure from blame, niy loVe;
And I would leave you free as air,
To woo and win that Imppiei' one.
All this feu your sake I would bear,
I will not say how I would pray
That God might have you in his care,
That would be easy—when i think
Os you, my heart is all one prayer.
But could I join her name with yours,
And call down blessings from.p'iove
■ On hei who’d rob me of my all—
My life, my light—my only love?
Yts! cyen that I’d try to do;
Although my lonely heart should break,
I’d try to say ‘‘God bless her” too,
Through blinding tears, for your sweet
sake.
I’m looking up into yoUr eyes;
But though my own witli tears are dim,
I read that in their true, clear depths,
Which telle rtie, “You may trustin him.”
I will—l will—it needs no words,
Though yours are flowing warm and fast
And eloquent with truth and love,
Forgive m\ doubts—they arc the last!
Pretty Shop Girls’ Ways*
There was a lull in business yesterday af
ternoon in the dry goods stores while the
rain was falling. A merchant on Brough
ton street was leaning with one arm on a
pile of goods when a News reporter stopped
at the same counter for a moment. The
proprietor < mploys quite a number of Mis
ses’ to wait on his customers, and the male
clerks are a smal l minority. The girls were
busy arranging goods, and the subject of
conversation between the head of the firm
and the News man drifted to the workers.
“Why don’t they rest now that there are
few customers coming in?” the merchant
said, repeating the question addressed to
him. “There is a great deal of work at
tached to a clerk’s position that one who has
never been through the mill knows nothing
about,” lie continued. "These shelves and
showcases must he kept in a certain tidy
condition that only a professional eye exact
ly understands. Every time anything is ta
ken out of a case, unless it is done with cure,
the things have to be fixed over again. The
work the clerks are doing now will enable
them to get off earlier to-night, after the
doors ere closed, for everything must he put
away right, before they go home.”
“Do you insist that your saleswomen shull
not sit down during business hours?” the
merchant was asked.
He replied that lie docs not; for not only
is it exceedingly tiresome to the clerks, but j
several year’s experience had taught him 1
that the more attention lie pays to the com
fort ot his employes the better his customers
are treated.
“Seen on the streets those girls would nev- j
er bo taken for shop girls,” remarked the |
gentleman, slightly changing the subject. j
“I believe it, for I would almost swear ;
that I saw that brimetts by the hosiery,
counter this morning cojCving a music roll
in her hand,” responded the reporter.
“No doubt. Many of the girls bring a ,
lunch, and yon don’t suppose they carry it
in a tin bucket? If that music’ roll had \
been opened it is more than likely one or I
two buttered rolls would have been found, j
besides an apple, and a sweet cake or two.
You were deceived, you see, end that is the
intention of the girls. There is no reason
why they should let anyone suspect their oc
cupation, though it is as honest and honora
ble ns any. Outside of a small circle of
friends no one knows whut the salesladies
do. They have petty annoyances without
end, and often, I have aq doubt, more exas- -

A Celestial Plienotrt,
The planet Venus, lias been Vi„,.
•Winter just after sunset. It attained"* its
grentest brilliancy week before last. It will
'Continue to approach the sun, and set earli
er ahd earlier every evening, uhtil abotlt the
18th of February, when it will disappear to
reappear in the east in March as a brilliant
morning star. Occasionally it comes exact
ly between the earth and the sun, and then
it is seen slowly moving across the face of
the sun in the form of a round black spot.
It was thus seen in December, 1882, but it
will riot be seen again in that position until
the year 2004.
Astronomers have learned many interest
ing tilings about the planet Venus. It ie
very nearly of the same size as tho earth;
its year is 224 days long; its day is of about
the same length as ours; it lias an atmos
phere resembling the earth’--, and the pres
cnee of Clouds has been detected in its at
mosphere. It receives considerably more
light, and beat from the sun than the earth
because it is some twenty-six million miles
nearer the great luminary. Though really
n great planet, appears to os only as a
sparkling point of light. It we could get as
far away from tho earth as we are from

Be Honorable, Boys.
Boys and youtig men sometimes start tint
in life with the idea that one’s success de
pends on sharpness and chicanery. They
imagine if a man is always able to ‘get the
best of a bargain,’ no matter by what deceit
and meanneis he carries his point, that his
prosperity is assured. That is a great mis
take. Enduring prosperity cannot be found
ed on cunning and dishonesty. Tricky and
deceitful man is sure to fall a victim sooner
or later, to the influences, which tire work*
ing against him. Ilis house is built upon
the sand, ahd its foundation is sure to giye
way. Young people cannot give truths too
much weight. The future of that young
man is safe who eschews every shape of
double’dealihg, and layS the foundatioh of
his career in the induring principles of truth.

There is hardly a street in town devoted
to trado that hasn’t somewhere on it a store
with tho sigu “Milk by the Glass.’’ Ihero
are a half dozen places on Broadway, be
tween Union square and Bryant Park, that
display such a sign, and all of them are
Well pntronized. In barrooms the samo
sign is frequently to be Seen, and the sala
ot milk in restaurants and its use at hotel
tables has been more than doubled within
the past three years. Every proprietor of
such places has noticed the increased de
mand and has wondered. A prominent
physician whose practice is largely among
actors said be could explain in part the rea
son for this increased consumption of milk.
Actors find in its use a stimulant which pre
vents nervous exhaustion and a better reviv
er geuerally than liquors, because it has nh
evil niter-effects. 11c had prescribed its use
largely for nervous troubles of all kinds
with excellent results, lie knew, too, of
very many physicians who were pursuing
the sumo course. As a natural result of
this cust >m of regular phvsiciars, the drug
stored have now on sale numerous “patent
medicines” with high sounding names which
are nothing hut simple compounds of milk
with some other tonic. Milk can be had by
the glass at most of the drug stores that
have soda-water fountains, and muny hun l
dred quarts are daily sold in that way in
this city and Brooklyn. A mixture of
crenm nnd milk, known in restaurant no
menclature as half and half, is quite popu
lar nowadays. At lunch rooms, this same
combination is largely used to serve oatmeal,
clacked wheat and other grains in. It is
this mixture of half cream and halt milk
that is given Considerably to people suffer
ing from lung troubles who find difficulty in
retaining on their stomachs cod liver oil in
any of its emulsions or other prepared
forms.
Wall street has the milk fever to a very
Considerable extent, and brokers, their
clerks and messenger hoys alike, drink from
one to a half dozen glasses daily. Every
little sidewalk stand where applet!, cakes
and pies are sold, at from 10 o’clock in the
morning until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, has
also its can of milk. Mixed with more or
less water —usually more—-it is sold at l, 2)
3, or 5 cents a glass. Nearly every down
town bar has it on sale at either 5 or 10
cents a glass, and many hundreds Os bowls
or goblets ol the lacteal fluid are daily dis
posed of at the Broad and Nassau street
dairies. One enterprising sidewalk mer
chant has had a wagon converted into it
traveling dairy, and every day* when tho
weather is not too cold, he drives down to
the corner of Exchange Place and Broad
: street, and there dispenses to thirsty patrons
his couple of hundred quarts ot milk and
ct-eatn by the glass. II is business is a very
profitable one when milk can be bought at
wholesale at less than 8 cents a quart, re
turning him a profit of from 100 to 300 per
cent, on his investmei t. In the three or
; four mouths of the summer when milk is a
: drug in the market, uud when the demand
|of cooling drinks is greatest his profits
mount tip to ahuut 500 percent. Ilis profits

merchants nnd ho lias now- 14 competitors
