LEISURELY LANE.
Is there no road now to Leisurely lane—we
traveled it long ago—
A place for the lagging of leisurely steps,
sweet and shady and slow ?
There were rims of restful hills beyond and
fields of dreamful wheat.
With shadows of clouds across them blown,
and poppies asleep at our feet.
There lads and maids on a Sunday met and
strolled them, two and two.
The leaves they laced in a roof o’erhead, and
only the sun peered through,
And there was time to gather a rose and time
for the woodbird’s cal),
And plenty of time to sit by a stream and
hearken its ripple and fall.
Is there no road now to Leisurely lane ? (God
knows we have hurried afar.)
There was once a lamp through the brooding
dusk and over the tree a star.
There was once a breath of the clover bloom
(sweet heaven, we have hurried so long),
And there was a gate by a white rose clasped,
and out of the dusk a song.
That song—the echo is strange and sweet, the
voice is weak and old.
It hath no part with this fierce, wild rush and
this hard, mad fight for gold.
It hath no part with the clamor and din and
the jarring of wheel and stone.
Oh, listen, my heart, and forget—forget that
we reap the bread we have sown!
Is there no road now to Leisurely lane, where,
lingering, one by one,
The summoning bells of twilight time over the
meadows blown
May find us strolling our homeward way, glad
of the evening star ?
Is there no road now to Leisurely lane (God
knows we have hurried afar.)

Journal.
ENGLISH ETIQUETTE.
In the Matter of Card Leaving It Is Quite
Like Our Own.
As so many of our customs are
borrowed from across the water, it
may be of interest to learn the Eng
lish etiquette of card leaving, which
in point of fact differs almost not at
all from the etiquette prevailing in
our large cities.
When a lady who calls without
her husband finds the mistress of
the house at home, she should, after
the call is made, leave one of her
husband’s cards for the hostess and
one for the hostess’ husband if she
is married. These cards must be
left on the hall table or handed to
the servant who opens the door for
the caller’s exit. If her husband
calls with her and has seen his host
and hostess, no card is left. If the
host has not been seen, the gentle
man who has called with his wife
leaves a card for him. Where nei
ther host nor hostess is at home, one
of the lady’s cards must be left and
two of her husband’s. Exactly the
same rule must be observed when
the caller lives with an unmarried
brother or with a father who is a
widower. His cards must always be
left in exactly the same fashion.
When a friend is staying in the
neighborhood and a call is made on
her, if the caller is acquainted with
the people of the house, she leaves
her card upon her first visit to them.
It is not correct to do so, however,
if there is no acquaintance, unless,
indeed, the fact of the mutual
friendship induces both sides to wish
that an acquaintance may be begun.
Girls with invalid or elderly
mothers have frequently to make
calls for them. When this is done,
it is usual to say to the hostess, “I
must leave my mother’s card for
you, as she is unable to do her own
calling.” In the same way, when
there are no grown up daughters, a
husband is frequently obliged to call
for his wife. He should never omit
to leave her card for the hostess and
to make some little remark of the
same sort to explain the reason of
her absence.
A gentleman’s visiting card should
be like that of his wife in style and
engraving, but smaller. His name
should appear in the middle—“ Mr.
Blank, ” if he is the head of the fam
ily; “Mr. John Blank,” if he has a
father or elder brother living. The
prefix should not be omitted, wheth
er that of rank, of civil or profes
sional life. The address chould be
engraved in the left hand corner of
the card at the bottom and the club
address in the right hand corner. It
is without excuse if they do not
leave cards after an entertainment.
A gentleman may leave cards with
out asking if his acquaintances are
at home, but if he finds the mistress
of the house in and not her husband
he leaves one of his cards in the hall
after calling. If both have been
seen, he leaves no card, but if nei
ther was at home two must be left.

“If I had not been well born, I
might live on stew and be happy as
a saleswoman or a clerk,” com
plained one of the girls who work
behind the counter of a New York
dry goods emporium. “But when I
remember my ancestry and what
our family might have been if it
had not been for a dissipated father
it is enough to make me want to
throw my shears at the upstarts
who order me around here. ”
“What’s the matter with stew?”
questioned another saleswoman, in
surprise. “I always believed that
we ate because we wanted to live—
not for the pleasure of it.”
“Ah, you do not understand,” re
plied the haughty maid.
“Don’t I, though? I think ’tis you
who don’t. Now, if you were crip
pled or sick or in hard luck, I
wouldn’t blame you for kicking.
But, say—well, it makes me tired
when girls have to go to a grave
yard to find something decent in
themselves yes’m, these pocket
books are reduced from $1.50.”

THE MIDDLE AGED MAN.
On Different Brands of Care and What
We Should Do When Cares Assail.
“When I was a boy,” said the
middle aged man, “we used to have
a song about driving ‘dull care
away.’ I dare say that children are
singing the same song today. It was
a good, cheerful, lively song, and we
used to sing it in school, but, as I
remember things, this song must
have been sung more as a preventive
than as a cure because we didn’t
have any care in those days. Wo
used to sing the song without any
adequate notion of what care was.
We used to gallop through it in the
cheeriest sort of way possible.
“So ‘dull’ care is a brand that nev
er disturbed me in the least. It is
associated in my mind with youth,
with a period of life when I actually
didn’t know what care was and
when I laughed at it, as I did at ev
erything else, and I can laugh at
‘dull’ care now, or smile at it any
way.
“The first kind of carethat I ever
struck that did disturb me was of
the brand known as ‘carking care.’
This is a pretty sandpapery sort,
very different from ‘dull care,’ and
when a man finds ‘carking care’ com
ing his way he wants to shunt it off
at any cost.
“And the same may be said of the
various other brands of care that
one may encounter as he goes
through life, which may be well
known, staple brands, such as can
be found anywhere if a man is look
ing for care or which may be cares
peculiar to the man or his situation,
but, of whatever brand they may
be, common or special, shunt ’em
off.
“Care never helped any man. A
sense of responsibility is one thing
that’s just enough good ballast to
hold a man steady, but oppressive
care is quite another thing and one
that never did anybody any good. It
overloads and hampers him.
“Throw it overboard! You can do
twice as well without it, do twice as
much work and earn twice as much
money, to say nothing of being
blessed with a far keener enjoyment
of life.”—New York Sun.
Oldest Wooden Building In the World.
In St. Nicholas Miss Ida Tigner
Hodnett writes of “The Little Jap
anese at Home.” Miss Hodnett
says:
The old castles which were the
homes of the daimio princes were
built of stone, but these, too, were
constructed so as to offer as little
resistance as possible to earthquake
shocks. The walls slant from the
base to the roof and are supported
within by immense timbers, the in
ward slope itself being a safeguard
against danger from earthquakes.
Buildings erected according to i the
Japanese idea of what is necessary
to give security against earthquakes
have stood for centuries. Some wood
en pagodas of great height are
known to have been in existence for
700 years, and th® old wooden mu
seum at Nara, in which are pre
served the mikado’s rare treasures
of ages, is fully 1,200 years old.
This is a large, oblong building
made of logs of keaki (kee-ah-kee),
a reddish brown wood, put together
in the log cabin style, and it is sup
ported merely on wooden legs rest
ing upon loose stones, as in the case
of the ordinary house described
above. No part of the building has
been renewed except tho roof, and
this has been put on only three
times. The present roof is made of
tiles and is about 150 years old. This
is in all probability the oldest wood
en building in the world, and it is
certainly a notable example of the
almost imperishable nature of some
Japanese woods.
“Willars” Was Willing.
A correspondent of the London
Spectator tells this story to illus
trate the biting humor of the late
Charles Pelham Villiers: “The anec
dote,” he says, “must be reproduced
with unorthograpbic exactness.
Half its point would be lost if it
were translated into the queen’s
English. Mr. Villiers had been ask
ing a Radical elector to support him.
‘Yes, I’ll support you, but, Willars,
we must have a diwision of proper
ty!’ ‘Certainly,’replied the diplo
matic candidate. ‘I should be quite
in favor of such a measure, but I
am afraid that if property is divided
there will not be enough for you and
me and the rest of us.’ After a mo
mentary embarrassment the cheer
ful and resourceful Socialist hit on
a remedy, ‘Why, then, Willars, we
must diwide again!’ ”

NUMBER 33.
MARK TWAIN'S ADVICE.
When Taken. It Always Landed a Man
In a Comfortable Berth.
Mark Twain has found situations
for many a man in a unique way.
When any one asked him for help
along that line, he would write the
delighted applicant a cordial affirm
ative, asking him to pick out any
position he preferred and to aim
high. The desired position being
selected, Mark would simply fire
back at the applicant the following
instructions. In every case, where
they were carried out in good faith,
they landed the worker at the top of
the ladder. Here they are:
Formula:
First.—By a beneficent law of our
human nature every man is ready
and willing to employ any young
fellow who is honestly anxious to
work—for nothing.
Second.—A man once wonted to
an employee and satisfied with him
is loath to part with him and give
himself the trouble of breaking in a
new man.
Let us practice upon these foibles.
Instructions:
First.—You are to apply for work
at the office of your choice.
Second.—You are to go without
recommendations. You are not to
mention my name, nor any one’s
but your own.
Third.—You are to say that you
want no pay; that all you want is
work—any kind of work. You make
no stipulation. You are ready to
sweep out, point the pencils, replen
ish the inkstands, hold copy, tidy
up, keep the place in order, run
errands—anything and everything.
You are not particular. You are so
tired of being idle that life is a bur
den to you. All you want is work
and plenty of it. You do not wajat
a pennyworth of remuneration. N.
B.—You will get the place, whether
the man be a generous one or a sel
fish one.
Fourth.—You must not sit around
and wait for the staff to find work
for you to do. You must keep
watch and find it for yourself.
When you can’t find it, invent it.
You will be popular there pretty
soon, and the boys will do you a
good turn whenever they can.
When you are on the street and see
a thing that is worth reporting, go
to the office and tell about it. tey
and by you will be allowed to put
such things on paper yourself. In
the morning you will notice that
they have been edited and a good
many of your words left out—the
very strongest and best ones too.
That will teach you to modify your
self. In due course you will drift
by natural and sure degrees into
daily and regular reporting and will
find yourself on the city editor’s
staff without any one’s quite know
ing how or when you got there.
Fifth.—By this time you have be
come necessary, possibly even in
dispensable. Still you are never to
mention wages. That is a matter
which will take care of itself. You
must wait. By and by there will
be a vacancy on a neighboring pa
per. You will know all the report
ers in town by this time, and one or
another- of them will speak of you,
and you will be offered the place at
current wages. You will report this
good fortune to your city editor,
and he will offer you the same
wages, and you will stay where you
are.
Sixth. Subsequently, whenever
higher pay is offered you on another
paper, you are not to take the place
if your original employer is willing
to keep you at a like price.—Mc-
Clure’s Magazine.
His French.
“You know,” said the man in the
elevated train, “that I am studying
French, and I believed, at my last
lesson, that I had thought up a good
way of remembering it. I was to
have, among other things, the nu
meral adjectives. It is hard to re
member them when they haven’t
the slightest resemblance to the
other English numerals, so I tried
to keep them in mind by compar
ison. For instance, five I was sure
of —‘Cinq, Sank, Sankey.’ You see
how simple that is?”
“Y-es,” said the second man hes
itatingly.
“Quite simple,” the first went on.
“So I set myself to remember San
key. ”
“And did you do it?”
“No,” answered the French stu
dent disgustedly; “of course when
I came to five I said ‘Moody.’ ”
And the woman sitting near who
had overheard the conversation so
far forgot herself as to laugh aloud.
—New York Times.
Power of Imagination.
A Kansas paper says that a young
doctor recently took his best girl to
the theater. The curtain was late
in rising, and the young woman
complained of feeling faint. The
doctor smiled sweetly upon her,
took something out of his vest pock
et and whispered to her to keep
the “tablet” in her mouth, but not
to swallow it She shyly placed it
on her tongue and rolled it over and
over, but it would not dissolve; she
felt better, however. So when the
show was over she slipped the tab
let in her glove, being curious to
examine at home this tasteless, in
dissoluble little substance which
had given her such relief in the
opera house. When alone in her
room, she pulled off her glove and
out came a button.
