A song from the top of a Budding tree,
A song of the sweet ness yet to be!
Scarcely Is leaf or blossom seen,
Knrth has only a hint of groan;
Yet the heaven taught, sparrow can soar and
sing
The coming of ovory precious thing.
.Soon will tho wind-blown seeds tnko root,
Bare boughs blush into bloom nnd fruit,
Wedded joy in n sheltering nest.,
Brooding love in a mother’s breast.
Life's full of gladness doth wake and sing,
Through the song-bird’s note, in tho early
spring.

IN THE WRONG HANDS
Mis9 Orinthia Brown sot down her tea.
cup with nr. emphasis that made all
tho china rattle. And little Mrs.
Meeker jumped nervously at tho
sound.
“I never heard anything so ridiculous
in all my life,’’’ said Miss Hrown, deri
sively. “Gilbert Mott in lovo with
Georgia Arlington! Why, she is a mere
doll with big Blue eyes and pink checks
nnd yellow curls.”
“She’s very fascinating in her man
ners,” Mrs. Meeker ventured to re
mark.
“Oh, pshaw!" was Miss Orinthia’s
contemptuous comment. “And you
really think bo’s in love with her?”
“Yes, I must, say that I think so.”
“Ah-h-h," said Orinth.ia, meaningly.
“If I only dared tell you all!”
“Dear me!” said Mrs. Meeker, eagerly;
"what do you mean?”
“Nothing,” said Miss Brown with a
Cod of her head. “lie walked homo
from church last night with me—didn't
ho?”
“Yes, but—”
“He stayed on my side of the room
nil tho time wo wore decorating the
fair rooms with evergreens, didn’t
lie?”
“Yes; hut that was because—”
“And—but never mind, never mind 1\
said Miss Orinthia, mysteriously. “Timo
will show! Georgia Arlington, indeed
—why, she’s nothing but a child—a
mere school girl! 1 ftfio'w better!"
“Do tell mo, Miss Orinthia,” pleaded
Mrs. Meeker. “Is he really engaged to
you?”
Miss Orinthia pursed up her lips,drop
ped her oyeliils with a manner that was
wonderfully eloquent, but she would
commit licisclf no further.
“Let’s go up stairs and finish dressing
those China dolls for tho lucky bag,”
said Miss Brown. “We shall get moro
money out of the lucky Bag than any
thing else, and we must be sure and
have it well furnished."
While the tea-drinking ceremonial
had Been going on in the lower part of
the mansion of Mrs Meeker, quite a dif
ferent chain of circumstances was trans
piring above stairs. Air. Gilbert Mott,
who had Been inveighed into the snares
of the ladies’ fair, nolens volens, had
come early to help in the last prepara
tions, and walking up to the work-room
had surprised a lovely blue-eved lassie
in the occupation of filling sundry |
cones of bright-lined paper with sugar
plums and French bon-bons.
Georgia Arlington shook Back her
sunny curls and Blushed like a Juno rose
bud, as she started up.
“Don’t go, Miss Arlington, please!”
pleaded Gilbert, himself not unembar
rassed. But Georgia muttered some
thing about a roll of ribbon which she
had forgotten, and fluttered past him ere
he could remonstrate further.
Gilbert looked after her, with a whim
sical expression of dispniron his counte
nance.
“Now, why does she run away from
me like that!” he said to himself.
“Probably because she knows it tanta
lizes me. But I’ll he even with her yet;
if she won’t let me tell her how dearly I
love her, I’ll write it to her!”
And heedless of the neglected piles of
cedar sprigs and princess pine yet wait
ing to be wrought into garlands, ho sat
down to the table, aud seizing pen and
ink Began a passionate Billet-doux after
the following fashion:
Mv Own Precious Darling: Why are
you so cold nnd cruel to mo? Why will you
net let me tell you in words what you must
have read in my eyes—the story of my heart’s
devotion? For I lovo you, and have loved
you, and shall love you to the world’s end;
nnd you must have seen it for yourself dur
ing the last few days that we have been
working together for the church fair! Yet
you will not give me a word or a glance of
encouragement. Is this right, my ruthless
queen of hearts? But I am determined that
you shall toll me when wo meet again
whether I may hope or not! Until then,
sweet one, I arn half in dispair, half hopeful.
Yours, ever and unalterably,
G. M.
He had just scribbled ofl this unstudi
ed effusion when the sound of footsteps
on the stairs chased away the soft shad
ows of his love dream, aDd he had just
timo to slip tho paper under a leaf of
Norwny spruce twigs, when Mrs Meeker
and Miss Orinthia Brown entered.
“At work so soon!” cried tho latter,
archly. “Isn't ho industrious, Mrs.
! Meeker?”
“Yes," said Gilbert, hypocritically, “I
am at work already.”
So ho was, but not exactly for the
fair.
llo watched nervously for nn oppor.
tunity to possess himself of tho precious
shoot of paper without observation, but
Miss Orinthia, doubtless promptod there
to By some baleful evil spirit, hovered
around the spruce Boughs like a middle-
aged turtledove, and effectually warded
off his designs. And presently he was
borne down stairs in tho popular current
to open Romo boxes of donations which
had just arrived by parcel delivery.
“I can easily come Back to get it
when they are busy cackling over tho
new things,” bethought.
llut—lit illustration this of the futility
of nil human plans—when lie came re
joicing back some twenty minutes or so
Inter the sheet was gone. Gone, leaving
no trace of vestigobehind—gone, utterly
nnd entirely!
“I believe there has Been somo super
human agency at work,” thought our
Bewildered hero, us lie tumbled ovor tlio
chaotic contents on tho table in vnin.
But Mr. Mott was wrong. Tho agency
lmd Boon exceedingly human—no other,
in fact, than mischievous little Billie
Arlington, \\ho enmo in search of stray
prises for tho famous lucky bag which
had been temporarily delivered into his
hnnds. Cornucopias, pin cushions, Him-
mel’s scent-bags, needlc-bookB, he
pounced on alike, and perceiving a sheet
of pink paper written on, he crumpled it
into an old envelope directed “Miss
Orinthia A. Brown,” which lny beyond,
“What larks it will be! " thought the
incorrigible Billy. “Some of the girls
’ll think they’ve got a love-letter and how
mad they’ll be when they find it ain't
nothing but ono of Rintlcy’a receipts or
crochet patterns."
And away rushed Master Billy, llttlo
recking of tho mischief be was unwit
tingly working to ills e.ast ol tiuo Uvc.
The evening of the fair came, and tho
pretty rooms made still prettier by paper
roses nnd evergreen gnrlnnds, were
crowded with the Brave, tho fair, and
some that were neither one nor tho otlior.
Georgia Arlington, presiding at ono of
tho tables, looked lovely enough to drive
half u dozen young men distracted, in
stead of one; nnd Miss Orinthia, in a
rustling slntc colored silk dross, wont
about like au autumn leaf in a high wind.
The lueky'-bag circulated from hand to
hand, carrying, as is the wont of these J
institutions, a little current of merriment
and laughter in its wake. Georgia drew
a cigar-caso, Mr. Mott became tbe pro
prietor of a rag doll, and Miss Orinthia
Brown drew—a letter, addressed to her
self.
Gilbert Mott, leaning against the
doorway, saw Miss Brown hurrying
up to Georgia and displaying her prize
with malicious glee, while Georgia
colored and bit her lip, and looked ready
to cry, and feigned a merry little ripple
of laughter, all in one and the same
breath.
“Why don’t that horrid old maid keep
away from Georgia Arlington?” thought
our discontented hero. “She looks like
a dried-up bunch of rosins beside a clus
ter of blooming Isabella grapes.”
And, watching his opportunity, he
slipped through the crowd and edged up
to the table where Georgia was selling
pincushions and tape at an exorbitant
price.
“Georgia!” he whispered softly
“Georgia!” But she turned her head
haughtily away.
“i‘lease to execuso me, Mr. Mott,” she
said, coolly.
While Gilbert was stairing at her in
amazement, a hand was slipped through
his arm, and Miss Orinthia Brown drew
him gently away.
“Where are you going?” ho demanded
rather unwillingly.
“Just outside the door, one minute,”
whispered Miss Orinthia, falteringly.
“It is not [in the tumult of a common
crowd that such words should bespoken.”
“ What words? I haven't an idea of
what you mean!” cried the young man.
Orinthia drew him into the hall, her
head drooped on his shoulder.
“Yes,” she falters, “yes. IIow could
you for a moment doubt it?”
“Doubt what? Excuse me, Miss
Brown, but I think your wits are forsak
ing you,” said Gilbert Mott, striving to
free himself from tho datnsel’s grasp.
“Gilbert, would you then be false to
me?” sobbed Orinthia with the dawning
symptoms of hysteria.
“I! False to you!” echoed our hero, j
“Miss Brown, will yosi be so kind as to j
tell ine at once, and/ plainly, what you
are talking about?” '
Orinthia Brown’s sallow cheeks red
dened—her eyes sparkled ominously, as
she drew from her pocket the precious
missive.
“Do you mean to say, sir, that you
didn't write this letter?” she demanded.
Gilbert took the letter and scrutinized
it closely.
“Yes, of course, l wrotn tho letter.”
“Then, denrost ”
“Stop, though,” ho interrupted, frnn-
ticclly. “It wasn’t to you.”
“Not to me?”
“No. Do you suppose l want to
I tunny you?”
Miss Orinthia uttered a shrill shriek—
I but the next moment she was alone. Gil
Bert Mott had vanished. For the mat
ter was growing serious now. If Geor
gia were to bn won, she must he won at
once, before Fate conspired with un-
i other old maid to deprive him of her
1 coveted love.
“ Georgia," ho said, planting himsoll
j resolutely besido her. “ I.have something
! I wish to say to you."
“ You had a great deal better say it to
! your beloved Miss Orinthia,” said Geor
gia, tossing her flaxen curls.
"But she isn’t my beloved Miss Grin-
I thia," cried Gilbert.
1 “ I suppose you will bo denying your
' own handwriting next," said Georgia,
i Indignantly. “ But it’s of no uso; I saw
the letter myself."
“ But, Georgia, tho letter was written
to you."
“Then,” said Georgia, brightening up
a little, “how did she get it?”
“That’s just what I can’t compre
hend myself,” said Gilbert; “but one
1 thing I am very certain of—I love you,
1 and you alone, nnd I won’t leave you un-
I til you tell me whether iny love is re.
| turned.”
And ho did not; neither was it neces
sary for him to stay tlioro very long.
But to this day nobody save Billy, tho
I irrepressible, knows exactly how Geor
gia's letter came into Miss Orinthia

Stanley on the Congo.
II. Johnson, in a recent book on
the Congro region, givosAho following
j doicription of his meeting with Htnnlcy
! at Yivi,in a station crowded with Xiin/i-
j baris: “Here he was, seated, on his
j camp-chair, his pipe in his mouth, and a
1 scmi-circlo of grinning kinglets squatting
in front of hiir, some of thorn smoking
long-stemmed little-bowled pipes in
complacent silence, and others putting
many questions to ‘Hula Matade' as to
his recent journey to Europo—to
‘Mputo,’ tho land beyond the sea as
they call it—and receiving his replies
with expressions of incredulous wonder,
tapping their open mouths with their
hands. I paused involuntarily to look
at this group, for Stanley hud not vet
seen me approaching and was uncon
scious of observation. Perhaps ho never
posed better for his picture than at that,
moment, ns he sat benignly chatting and
smoking with the native chiefs, his face
lighting up with amusement at their na
tive remarks, while the bearing of his
head still retained that somewhat proud I
carriage that inspired these African l
chieftains with a real respect for lus
wishes and a desire to retain his friend- ]
ship. Any ono observing Stanley at this j
moment could comprehend the great in
fluence he possesses over the native mind
on the Congo, and could realize how i
that influence must tend toward peace •
wherever Stanley’s fame has reached, for I
to attack a friend of Stanley’s seems to |
the natives scarcely less futile than at
tacking Stnuley himself. Stanley turned
suddenly as the chief of the station in
troduced me, and welcomed me in a
thoroughly cordial manner; then, dis j
missing the natives who had examined j
me curiously under the belief that I was j
‘Bula MatadcV son, he sent Dualla for !
some ten. Dualla was a handsome j
Somali lad, son of the chief of police at !
Aden, and versed in many European and !
African languages. lie had been Stan- j
ley’s body-servant on tho Congo since j
1879.”
A Bad Place for Christians.
Formerly when a Persian Mahometan
killed a Christian he was fined $15.
Now he has to pay $00 for the same priv
ilege. If a Mahometan can capture a
Christian girl and convert her to his re
ligion, when her father dies he inherits
his property to the exclusion ol all other
heirs. 'This causes a great run after the
daughters of rich Christians, even when
they are not pretty. If a Mahometan,
when out walking, meets a Christian on
horseback, the latter has to surrender his
steed and allow the follower of tho Pro
phet to ride to his destination.

a paper of tobacco and another pinch
of the hrown powder vanished up
another charming little nose. Both girls
sneezed once, very mildly, anil got off

might call a ‘notion.’ I can’t say whether
anything is put in the boxes, but I do
know that young people buy them and

A druggist said: “Oh, no; It wasn’t
snuff. The girls have an idea that it is
fashionable to carry those boxes, and
naturally enough they want something to
put in them. Genuine fermented to
bacco snuff would make them sick. AVe
