"Horrid horn!
How itsdre.viful dissonance affrights the
soul of mom!
How its direful tontine pours a
Flood of most unseemly sound
In the ears if sweet Aurora,
As she rises with a bound,
Driven by « nightmare’s urging.
On the wreck of reason verging,
Wildly gazing all around
At the tmvs who wake the horrors that

In the chambers of the horn,
Horn, horn, horn—
In the dark and dismal caverns of the

Hear the hooting of the horn,
Wretched horn!
How its harsii, discordant note awakes
our hate and scorn!
How its dreary monotone
Tit-ns tno Hottest "heart u> stone—
Worse than anv parrot's shriek,
Worse than any Chinese gong.
Drawing curses from the strong.
Drawing prayers from the we ut
As they listen, all amaz- il,
Nearly crazed,

By the hooting and the tin,ting of the

M« auwhile Harry sped on, past
the church and sehoolhouse, and all
the business part of the town, till
ho came to a pretly white cottage a
little hack of the street, the garden
and front yard enclosed by a neat
picket-feme. Harry, discarding
the sensible but stupid gate,swung
himself lightly over the fence, and
look a short cut to the side door.

derly and reverently was “this aged

fervent thanks rendered for all his

When the carriage was brought

A Bors EEABT
It was a perfect June day, the
hi.t of the month. Mary Clifton
stood on the piuzz.i of her father’s
house, and looked down over the
imerveningsp ice, slnuling her eyes
with her hand, till they rested upon
a straw hat bibbing liilher and
thither in the shrubbery, and al
most hidden by the rich-foliage and
clustering blossoms of the acacia
trees. She ran lightly down . the
stops and toward the wearer there-,
of.
“Oh, Harry, here .^pu are! I have
culled and hunted for you live min
utes at least, and oh, what a lovely
bouquet you have made! You
made it for the minister’s wife, of
course; please give it to' me quick;
it is just what I want for her own
room, and it will save me so much
time and labor,” and the fair young
girl reached out her hand for the
treasures; not yet so plenty as not
to be very precious.
“Sorry, sis,” said the young gen
tleman of twelve, holding the bou
quet high above his head; “They
are not for your minister’s wife, but
for mine.”
“Well, well, all the same, twist
this bit of paper around it. and
leave it yourself in her room. Come,
we must lyirry: the train is due in
twenty minutes.”
“Can’t help it if it’s due in ten.
These are not to go into the new
minister’s house, but the old- one.
Tell you, 1 don’t forget, if some oth
er folks do. Your new minister’s
got about all the flowers and
things in town now, and I’m just
going to give these to Mrs. Brown,
before school, too; so good-bye, sis;
guess you can find a few stragglers
yet, if you look chary,” and off ran
the nimble feet, leaving his sister
looking after him, not for tin flow
ers. \
“The dear boy,” she murt \ured,
a hot flush coming into her cl Ws;
‘he has taught me a lesson,*1 ^nd
then she turned and went hastily
buck to the house.
As she entered the family sitting-
room, she met her mother with a
fat basket of good things on her
arm, coming out to put it in the
carriage at *he door, to be trans
ferred to the new parsonage, wnlle
her father, a mild, silver-haired
deacon, was just counting over
stepping softly in the door which
stood »j«r, he peei»ed in. True
enough, there was an elderly wo
man down on her knees carefully
nailing a carpet. She was humming
a tainiliar hymn,
“K’cn from youth took! age,”
and did not hear Ihe new step till
a lies ish hand laid a firm hold oil
th>- i.aiiinn r, and a boyish voice ex-
dai.uen:
“Now, Mrs. Brown, this is wlmt
I ca.I hit aking \our word. Didn’t
you j.iomi-e Waller that you would
lit me Help yon jnsi . s lie did?
And lie re you’re breaking your
back down hereon Ihe Hoot :I think
it's just menu!"
Mrs. Brown rose hastily, and
though some tears, which she had
been bravely keiq inghack, did take
the opportunity to drop upon the
lieauiiiul flowers which lie placed
in her hands in place of the ham
mer, she laughed gaily as she in
haled, their delicious fragrance, say
ing:-'
••Wi.d, llarrv, my hoy-, you have
eeitainly made a fair exchange. 1
fear you have robbed your garden
to cm ich me."
“Oil, my, no; though I did bring
you the best I could find. I want
ed to, you are best you know; and
how is Mr. Brown this morning?”
“Not very smart, 1 fear. You go
right in to see him; he needs some
body to cheer him.”
“I have got something for him,
too,” said Harry, shyly running his
hand in his pockets and producing
an orange from one, and a “daily”
from another. “I thought perhaps
he’d like to see the news."
“To be sure; just the -same, my
boy. Go and give them to him
whilel put these beauties into wa
ter.”
Three minutes later the boy was
ou his way to school, whistling a
merry tune, now chasing a flying
kitten, or giving chase to a yelping
little cur, whose chief end of life
was to let people know how he de
spised them; and who of all the
people he met flocking to I lie new
pastor’s house, or wending to their
several places ol business, had the
idea that he alone, of all the large
congregation that the old pastor
had gather! d, had this day tried to
cheer his loneliness, or help him
biar the heavy burden which old
age .and failing health had ■ laid up
on him?
But the little seed was sown, and
already was bringing forth fruit.
An hour later the little gate of tin
parsonage was soheriy opi ned am

the good man sitting sad, ami. in

trimmings. Overlooking the area
is an atlas-shaped skylight made of
cathedral stained glass'in delicate
tints all blended together in the
most perfect harmony. The most
extravagantly finished apartment
is the ball-room adjoining the east

the walls, except the lower portion

which are carved characters of the
medieval age. Tiie one in the
