THE VOYAGE TO SLUMBER LAN El. - She awa ^ on the sea of dreams, This skipper with eyes of brown, As th " fcrch iQ twilight gleams, And 4 toe garnish sun goes down; Her bark floats over the grimy town To Slumberland and its silver sea; The spotless folds of her slumber gown Are no whit fairer than she. There are angel birds in the warm, still air, And the skipper laughs with her eyes of brown, As they sing to her old songs, sweet and rare, While her liark billows up and down. They sing of a prince of high renown. And a princess ever so young and fair; But where '^he princess liad ever a crown Like the crown of her soft brown hair? Comet h a storm over the silvery sea, That ebbs on the dreamer’s land, And the angel birds fade out to the lee Of this singular slumber strand; Is there a harbor by angels planned, From all storms, whatever they be, From the wicked faries of Slumberland And the waves in its silvery sea? Up, like a flash, comes the little brown head, And the brown eyes only see A billowy blanket of silk outspread On an ocean of dimity; But it’s fearlessly the skipper will flee, With a soft little barefoot tread, By the chart she learned on her bended knee, To the haven of mother’s bed. —J. P. Bocock,in Boston Globe. MRS. GREY’S METHODS. BY MRS. M. A. DENNISON. You don't believe Mrs Grey is aChris- tian. I am sorry to hear you speak in that manner of so estimable a woman.” decidedly, “Perhaps I should net have spoken so but I think I have good reasons for what I said.” “But you certainly overlook tlie fact of her usefulness in the church. Nobody gives more liberally than she does. Only last Sabbath, remember, slie subscribed fifty dollars toward our minister’s salary and in times of conference nobody en¬ tertains more liberally than she. I think she’s a perfect prodigy of benevolence.” “I dare say in such matters her lib¬ erality is unstinted; but, I was not think¬ ing of that. She is rich, I suppose—I know she has kept that large store on Marshall street for a great many years. Suppose we call there—it is on our way. ” The two friends, a Mrs. Abdy and Mrs. Brown, walked on together until they side came to an imposing store, where on oue every conceivable kind of fancy work was for sale, and on the other chil¬ dren’s garments, chiefly for boys—coats, pants and caps—a large and costly va¬ riety. Mrs. Abdy and Mrs. Brown qui¬ etly stood on one side, for there were several women at the latter counter—not customers, it was evident, for they were pale faced and shabbily dressed. A showy looking girl with red ribbons in her hair stood behind the counter, pick¬ ing out sorted bundles and passing them over to these women. “Mrs. Grey says you must take the last batch home and make the button¬ holes over—she won’t have such work,” said the girl approaching a tidy-looking woman who turned a shade pale at the asperity and supercilious manner of the girl. “I thought they w r ere done as good as usual, said the woman with a tremulous lip, “but perhaps not. Mary was very sick, you see, and she always makes the button-holes—she’s sick now. Wouldn’t they possibly do?” Mrs. Brow r n stepped forward and caught a sight of the button-holes. They were good, as neatly made as she would have wished, w r ere the suit made for her boy. “No, they Avon’t do,” said the girl sharply, pushing the articles toAvard her, “You can leave them—but. you know 7 Mrs. Grey's rule—not one cent Unless the Avhole is done to suit her,” “And I only get fifteen cents for the whole,” murmured the woman Avith a despairing look.” the “I’m sure button-holes are very neatly done,’ said Mrs. BroAvn, hoping that a word from her Avould have the desired effect, “they would suit me, and I am quite particular.” “They wouldn’t suit a majority of Mrs. Grey's customers,” said the girl with an insolent side look at the impertinent stranger as she considered her, “and this woman is none too particular at anytime. She often has to carry her Avork back, and I’d adA'ise her to get a new pair of spectacles if she can’t see better.” “Dear Lord!” groaned the Avoman, turning away, a heart-broken expression darkening her pale, pinched features— shrinking almost from sight in her morti¬ fication and despair; she Avho had sih’er threads shining amidst the dark gleam of her locks—she with all the rich exper¬ ience of maternity—with all the heavy care of the world's neglect and poverty— Avith all the scars of a hard, long fight with temptation, privation, disease and sorrow upon her, flippantly shamed by a pert, mindless, brazen girl of seventeen, Mrs. Brown’s check Avas scarlet—but the poor woman had' croAvded out and others had croAvded in. A good-looking, coarse woman threw down a bundle; it was examined and passed. The girl took from a small box one piece of money and handed it to her. The woman stared at it, rubbed her eyes —looked Avith a puzzled face at the girl, and then exclaimed: “Why don't you give me the rest of the money?’’ “That’s all that's due,’’ said the girl, “make room.” “But I tell you there were five shirts at twenty-five cents apiece.” “And I tell you they A\ere only five cents apiece,” Avas the frowning reply, “pretty profit we should make to give twenty-five cents for those little things.” “You deceived me, then,” cried the woman, her anger rising, “for I distinctly asked you if they were twenty-five cents apiece, aud you said yes. Why there are four rows of stitching in the bosom.” “Won’t you ple-ase to make room?’’ asked the girl, impatiently. “Not till I tell you Avhat I think of you, cried the woman, “for you are a liar and a cheat. Thank God, I'm not de- pendent upon your work for my living, and I pity them that are, that’s all. You may cheat the poor widow and the orphan, but you Avon t cheat me again.” The girl only curled her lips, for a pale, pinched woman who had been waiting some time now eagerly crowded up to the counter. “Oh, please put me in her place, I'll be glad to work for anything if only I can get it to do. She choked doAvn the tears and absolutely trembled in her eagerness (and her hunger I have no doubt) from head to foot. “Oh ves. you can have it—we can get plenty to take them at that price and thank us in the bargain,” said the girl, heartlessly, pulling down another bundle. Mrs. Abdy now inquired for Mrs. Grey, and was ushered into the show-room, where a portly woman stepped forward much surprised and pleased—and learn¬ ing that they had come for a call she im¬ mediately ushered them by means of a stairway into her private parlor, a splendid room furnished with every luxui^ the heart could desire. “And how are you, Mrs. Abdy—and you 3Irs. Brown? It’s'4 great while since I have seen you in a church, isn’t it?” “My children have all been ill,” re¬ plied Mrs. Brown, quietly. “Oh! I thought something must be the matter. If you are anything like me—I never let trifles interfere with my church duties. I believe I have been when oth¬ ers would have wrapped themselves in flannels and gone to bed—I have that much affection for the courts of the Lord’s house. And what a heavenly ser¬ mon we had last Sabbath, Mrs. Abdv. I have thought of it all the week. I do think we ought to be thankful to the Lord for sending us Brother Drewson. His -words are indeed sharp as a two- edged sword.” During a confidential tete-a-tete, Mrs. Brown managed to give a hint at what she thought the wholesale impertinence of the girl in the shop toward the work people. “Oh, Delia’s sharp,” said Mrs. Grey, with a gratified little laugh, “that’s why I keep her. Do you know I pay her ex¬ tra for that very quality? I assure you it's the most terrible thing to deal with these shop women. They shirk and sham, and tell all manner of lies to get excused, and do their work abominably at the best. \ oit’ve no idea what a trying business it is on that account. If it didn’t pay me pretty well,” she added, complacently, “I'd give it up to-morrow. But Delia, dear me, she's a perfect treasure—knows just how to deal with that sort of people. Y"ou see there’s no getting along with them I assure you, unless you’re right up and down with them.” Mrs. Brown’s heart ached as she thought of the neat,grave-looking woman with her quivering lip and silvery liair, stabbed to the very quick by that coarse, unfeeling creature behind the counter. asked ‘ ‘Is this girl—a—professor of religion ?” Mrs. Brown, with some hesitation. “Why, no,” replied Mrs. Grey, turn¬ ing red; that’s all I have to try me. Delia is honest and all that, but I don’t think she has found a hope. She is with me now, however, altogether, and I trust that I may be the means of her salvation. Do you believe Brother Drew wull get well?” she queried, shrewdly changing the subject. “Now what do you think of Mrs. Grey?” asked Mrs. Brown, as the two friends gained the street.. 1 ‘I’m afraid she is sacrificing he rreligion on the shrine of Mammon,” was the re¬ ply. “I have always thought so very highly of her, I can’t bear to change my opinion. Still I have seen with my ow T n eyes and heard with my ears what I would not have believed as hearsay.” “One of our church poor lives here,” said Mrs. Brown, as they turned into a lonesome street lined with poor houses that were filled with poor tenants—“shall we call upon her?” Mrs. Abdy signified that it would be pleasing to her, and they entered the creaking door of one of the tallest houses, where, after toiling up three pair of wretched stairs they came to a room in which a thin, pallid Avoman sat, making caps at the rate of sixpence. She arose with r smile, extended her thin hand, chocked dow*n a hard, dry cough its she asked them to be seated, and to excuse her as she must go on -with her work, “for you see, I promised them at five this afternoon, aud 1 work for Mrs. Grey, of our church, She’s a good woman, I’ve no doubt—only she don’t knoAV by experience AVhat the poor have to suffer, and that, perhapsj makes her hard on us. But she pays me a little more than she does the others.” “That’s a sad case in the other room,” she w 7 ent on, “a dreadful sad case. It’s a Mrs. Acton, a widow woman, as good a soul as ever I knew, and she’s a poor consumptive girl to support, Maria sfie works in spite of her weakness all can; but this week she couldn’t seem to get up strength. So Mrs. Acton she had some nice work and had to make the button-holes herself. She’s been longer than usual about it too, and I daresay ac¬ tually wants the money to buy bread. I Avent in to stay with Maria while she avrs gone and the poor soul came back com¬ pletely crushed. She threw the Avork down and burst into tears. Maria was frightened, the and button-holes when her would mother all told her that have to bo picked out, it threw her into such a fit of trembling and coughing that she burst a blood vessel and now I suppose the poor thing is barely alye. Mrs, Grey’s a very hard woman sometimes, but I don't know* as she w ould be if she knew the circumstances—I hope not.” Mrs. Abdy and Mrs. Brown exchanged glances. “If I was only able to do them button¬ holes,” said the poor spinster, hurrying her own Avork, “but by the time I’ve done with these, my eyes'll just be good for nothing.” “Suppose w r e call upon this poor wid¬ ow,” said Mrs. Brown, Aviping the tears from her eyes. “She’d take it kindly, I’m sure,” re- plied the poor sister, into whose hand Mrs. Abdy slipped something as they parted, A\-ell rewarded by the quick look of gratitude that flushed the woman’s attenuated features. Knocking at a crazy door, the two were admitted into a darkened room, destitute of carpet, almost of any kind of furniture saA'e a large bedstead, on whose thin mattress laid a form that seemed al¬ ready prepared for the grave. “My poor child,” whispered the grieved mother, as they went forward to look at the sleeping girl, “the doctor says she can’t last long.” “I saw you in Mrs. Grey’s shop,” whis¬ pered Mrs. Bioavu. The woman started —a red shame painted her cheeks for a moment. “O! did you, ma’am?” she cried, bit- ing her lips; “did you hear how that girl spoke to me? and I have been in bet- ter circumstances. While my husband lived I had plenty—while my bitter!” parents lived I had everything. O! it is she struggled against the tears, but they would come; she hid her face in her hands. “Give me your work,” said Mrs. Brown gently, as soon as she could speak. “I will pay you now—take it home and make the button-holes myself, and then see Mrs. Grey about it. I am well acquainted with her.and when she under¬ stands the ease I think it will be less hard for you. Here is my card—send somebody to my house to-night—I have some little delicacies which ! sick.” “God lfless you, madam—God bless— you—and I know He will,” cried the grateful woman. “I said a dreadful things in my heart when I left Mrs. Grey's, but indeed I don't want to feel so even toward my oppressors. I trust He will forgive me and own her eves and touch * j her worldlv heart ” 1 Mrs. Brown called upon Mrs. Grcv c ruing rr fn 1M promise. .

A Monarch of the Air. The king bird is a monarch of the air. Small of form and swift of flight, he ruffles up his feathers and attacks the mighty hawk with as little fear as he would a harmless robin. He sounds his warning rattle as he swoops toward some feathered rival, and twists and turns, driving his strong bill into some vulnera¬ ble part, and keeping up the warfare until he tires of it. Near Spruce cabin a big speckled hen is busy with a chirp¬ ing brood of little chickens. The mother has a vagrant spirit, and persists in roam¬ ing out of the barnyard and wandering in the outlaying fields with her fluttering family. A few days ago a hawk came down from the peak of Goose Pond Moun¬ tain, and swooping upon one of the little chicks rose into the air with it, leaving the old hen in a state of squawking ter- ror . The hawk, to show its fearlessness, flew with great deliberation toward a big oak, with the evident intention of de¬ vouring its prey upon the stalwart branches. A dark speck came out of the tree, and with many a dart and curve rose high in the air. The hawk recognized it as the king bird, about the only bird that is capable of filling him with fear, and making him swerve from his course and halt in his masterful flight. He showed his fear by increasing his speed and turning about as though to retreat. The king bird pursued his upward flight until he could look down upon the broad back of the hawk, and then, like an arrow from its bow, he shot down and lit upon it—a fluttering bit of concentrated rage. The hawk darted, poised and swooped, but that mite upon him clung, jabbing its bill again and again into the tender flesh near its wings. The pain was too great to bear, and so he folded his powerful wings and dropped like a shot toward the earth. But the king bird was not yet weary, and he swiftly followed, fighting all the time like a demon. The old lien had been an interested spectator of the fight, and when she saw the hawk de¬ scend she spread out her wings and flew heavily toward him to tight him away from her young. But the hawk was too wary to permit her to reach him, ami be¬ fore he had dropped within the range of her power of flight lie spread out his wings again and shot upward. The chicken which he still held in his claws, small as it was, hampered him a trifle, and he dropped it when near the earth and devoted all his attention to ridding himself of the little tormentor that was still fighting him with claws and beak. He sped away to his moun¬ tain home, and was nearly there before the king bird ceased his attack. The old hen ran with many an encouraging cackle to its injured little one that was lying, a downy ball, upon the spot where the hawk had-dropped it. It was still alive, but it died the next day from the wounds in its back made by the hawk’s claws.'— Neib York Sun. Stories of the Shall. The Shah of Persia, when he visited. Europe in 1873, tvas said to be forty-five years of age, whence the humblest stu¬ dent of Cocker will conclude that he is now sixty-one. When he was only forty- five he was slim, had bright eyes,and was a good rider. He has notv taken to spec¬ tacles, and is said to be comparatively obese, though, according to the latest re¬ ports from Berlin, he preserves “most of the characteristics of youth.” A roman¬ tic story used to be told in reference to his first marriage, which recalled the in¬ cidents of King Cophetua and the beggar girl. bright He was riding in the country when his eyes were attracted by the smiling beauty of she a peasant girl, laboring, and as labored in the corn field. Her he made his wife, or, at least, one of them; and he regarded her until her pre¬ mature death with exceptional affection. A grandfather of Nasr-EddDin,when heir apparent to a throne he never lived to as¬ cend, had British officers of rank attached to his army in war time, and his father was placed on the throne by similar agency; His great grandfather Fath Ali Shah was, during a reign of thirty-nine years, constantly in personal communica¬ tion with Europeans, and especially with Englishmen. Nasr-Ed-Din may be sup¬ posed, therefore, to have inherited to¬ ward us a friendly disposition; and when once it is understood that he is to keep elear of Herat and not in any other direc¬ tion to yield too much to Russia, there is no reason why the best understanding should not exist between this country and Persia .—London Life. Merchant Princes Who Eat Candy. “You would be surprised,” said the man behind the counter of a Chestnut street confectionery store, “at the num¬ ber of wealthy men who buy candies of various kinds to nibble during office hours. One banker, who is worth al¬ most a million, buys five cents’ worth of peppermint almost every morning. That is his usual limit. A prominent editor invests the same in cocoanut candy and eats it with as much relish as any school girl. There is a drygoods merchant near Eighth and Chestnut streets who invests the enormous sum of one cent in a plain mint stick, wrapping it up carefully in a piece of paper and carrying it carefully in his vest poeket .—Philadelphia In¬ quirer.

Homer, intl.e "Mm 1 ' describes Laertes, the farmer-king, the lather of I’lys cs, in liis retirement: •jWhiie gloves secured his hands to shield them irom tile thorns. Xeno- plum jeers at the Persians for wearing gloves as a protection have from tlie cold; not only did they umbrellas being borne over them in surnmer, not content with the shade of tho trees and rocks, blit in the winter it is not sufficient for tliem to clothe tlieir heads, and their bodies, and their feet, but they have coverings made of hair for their hands and their lingers. In their earlier days the Greeks and the Homans scorned such effeminacy, but at a later day, in the time of Pliny, described the uncle of that lively historian is as traveling with an amanuensis “ who wore gloves upon his hands in winter lest the sever¬ ity of the weather should make him lose any time ” in writing. from time immemorial the glove has had a legal significance in oriental countries in tho transfer of property, just used as the “bind “God’s-penny” bargain” in was the formerly to a west. A disputed passage in the Old Testament —Until iv. 7 and 8—reads: “Now this was the manner in former time in Israel, concerning redeeming and concerning changing, pluckod for off to lfs confirm and all things; a man s/we, give to his neighbor; Israel.” nnd this was a testimony agreed in It is now commonly by scholars that tho word dme should be rendered glove, for in the Chaldaic para- phrase the word is rendered “tlie ease or fc./Vering of tho right hand;” ami ae- eepting this view, it appears that among the Israelites tho passing 1 of a glove was the method ,, i of . transferring , , • property Later the glove, as a pledge or emblem of conveyance, came into use among tlie Romans, whose ancient law held prop- erty to have passed with its literal transfer, or of part of it, into the hand of the purchaser; and the glove, doubt¬ less ns a matter of convenience, took the p’aco of and symbolized this actual transfer.—[ The Haberdasher.
