Time’s Up.
Time’s up for life and laughter 5
We’ve drained the bauquet cup;
But now the dark comes after.
And lights are out. Time’s up.
O lovers in sweet places,
With lips of song and sigh;
Come forth with pallid faces
And kiss your last goodby!
O sweet bride at the marriage,
Impatient at your gates,
Beside a sable carriage,
The ghostly footman waits.
0 statesman, crowned and splendid,
The laurel leaves your brow—
The long debate is ended,
The halls are voiceless now.
Time’s up for wooing, winning,
For doubt and ream and strife,
For sighing and for sining—
For love, for hate, for life!
Time’s up! The dial mark is
On the hist hour—complete;
Lie down there where the dark is
And dream tljpt time was sweet!
A CUR’S CONSTANCY.
Bobo was a poor old dog, and Max
Wilber was a poor young artist.
Everybody had kicked the dog out,
and so Max took him in.
Max was shabby. One could guess
that he had no money in his pockets,
but Bobo had not the keen apprecia¬
tion of such a fault
“Have they all shut their doors
against you, Bobo?” said Max, “Como
home then and share my sausage.”
Bobo comprehended the invitation,
and without more ado followed Wilber
up the staircase of his lodgings, and
stretched himself before the empty
stove, with as evident an intention of
never more departing as that mani¬
fested by Poe’s Raven.
A little room with a north light and
an easel, with a screen which fancied
that it hid a bid, with furniture worth
iu the bulk five dollars; with traces of
a Bohemian supper—a pound of sau¬
sages and a loaf of rye bread.
He had an opera-glass, and a meer¬
schaum which was the pride of his
soul; but he had no place to put them
but the mantlepiece. He had an in¬
come, and he painted pictures. When
the income came due, aud no picture
was sold, he lived on sausage, aud
grew shabby.
When the sausage was cooked, he
gave a scrupulous half of that and of
his bread to Bobo, and the two ate
heartily.
But supper over, Max sat down and
thought rather bitterly that that day
Flora had driven past, not seeing him
at all, and in the carriage with her,
beside her mamma, was a young gen¬
tleman, handsome, dashing, elegantly
dressed, and Flora was looking at him,
and—
“It must come sometime,” he said,
“All the love in the world is worth¬
less without money.”
Then he started to his feet and
looked at his pictures, and hope came
into his heart—he might make his for¬
tune some day, to be sure. In three
weeks the quarter’s income came in.
He would try to wait and buy a new
suit and call again on Flora.
He would tell her of his love, and
they would wait together for fame and
fortune.
From that hour Max and Bobo were
inseparable. Max grew fond of the
ungainly beast, and Bobo worshipped
Max. Under the Bohemian changes
of living at the studio he partook of
everything, from pate de fois gras to
dry rack, but he fared as well as his
master in every case; and what more
can a dog ask?
Meanwhile Max still adored Miss
Alibi; he was her shadow u?> long as
his new gloves lasted ; and he vanished
from her sight when mid-quarterly
shabbiness overcame him. At last his
emotions overcame his comgion-sense,
and being all alone in the drawing¬
room with his angel, he told her he
adored her; and she gave a little sob,
and turned her face fro&i him ; and he

caught her hand and kissed it, and ia
% moment more had kissed her lips,
and it was done. Whatever happened
afterward. Max never could forget
that blissful moment She promised
to “wait for him” forever, and was so
sure of hjs coming fame that he grew
sure of it also; and but one thing
more remained—the speaking to Mr.
Alibi. That Max dreaded. When he
did speak, that worthy gentleman lis¬
tened ill amazement, and proceeded
forthwith to browbeat him, as though
he had been in the witness-box. In
the end he proved to him that ho was
too poor to marry, and ended by as¬
suring him that the idea was out of
the question.
Poor Max, into whoso ideas of ma¬
trimony the “leaving” of his wife, with
or without money, did not enter,
found no answer, and was politely
bowed out.
The climax came in an interview
with Flora, in which she wept, but de¬
clared that she must obey her father.
That evening Bobo waited in vain
for a word or a whistle, and the next,
and the next, and the next also. Max
stayed at home and painted nothing
and smoked and drank instead. In a
week the state of his mind was some¬
thing terrible; he was more than
ready for any desperate deed, and he
decided that, since he could not share
his life with Flora, he would get rid
of it altogether. To this end, he went
out in his slippers to a neighboring
shop and bought a hook and a piece of
clothes line.
He returned and locked the door
and drew the table to the middle of
the room and drove the hook into the
centre beam carefully. Then he made
a slip-knot in the rope, and arranged
it to fit his throat. Then he jumped
down and found pen, ink and paper,
and wrote a farewell note to Flora and
climbed to the table again,
Bobo by this time considered it his
duty to ascertain exactly what was go¬
ing on. His master’s face wore an ex¬
pression of despair, and dogs can un¬
derstand expression. Moreover, there
was something very wrong about the
whole complication. Bobo put both
paws upon the table, turned his nose
upward, opened his great yellow eyes
to their full width and gave vent to a
prolonged and woeful howl. Max was
just about to kick away the chair when
it struck hie ear. Ho looked down.
“Farewell, "old dog,” he said; “my
only friend, farewell. You are con¬
stant ; you are true. You love me, I
know Tou will mourn me. ”
And then it came into his mind that
Bobo would , , have to
cause mourn.
That once more , he would ,, , be , homeless,
’
friendless, , . kicked . , from every door,
J ’
abused by children, barked at by J well
fed „ dogs, , scratched by cats, and
f angry
carried . at last perhaps , to the pound.
rn To this ... , he . left his . faithful . .... . dog, , his
last , friend. .

° ^ *eorge, won t c o it,
said Max still on his perch 1 with the
about , , his . neok. , “You’ve been
rope
true to m c, Bobo, and I'll bear „
misery rather than leave you to suffer.
Bobo, old dog, it'. « great thing to
die for any one. Im going to do
more for you; I’m going ° to live for
you.”
And Max unknotted the rope,
jumped off the table, and flung himself
down upon the floor beside Bobo, who
licked his face, and danced in ecstacy.
That night Bobo slept with his mas
ter before the fire. Sometimes Max
fnom the fe.eri.h hn,f..,eep in
which he lost himself, and felt the
rough paws on hie breast, and patted
them.
By dawn he fell .ound asleep, and
never awakened until a quick, light
rapping at his door startled him to
the consciousness that it was high
noon. He started to his feet and
opened the door. Without was Flora,
“Great Heavens!” cried Max. “You
here!” And he drew her in, forgetful
of his rumpled Lair and disordered
cravat.
“Oh Max 1 ’ she cried, “it is so
strange for mo to oome, I know—but
1 have such good news. Of courso,
I’m sorry Undo William is dead; but
I never saw him in my life, and ho has
left mo a fortune, and I am of ago to
day ; and, Max, darling, I may do as I
please, and papa says so. And, oh,
Max--”
And Max took her iu his arms and
kissed her.
Whereupon Bobo, quite sure that
matters had reached a hapjiy climax,
leaped about iu ecstacy.
Whether Max ever told Flora how
ho came to bo alivo on her arrival, in¬
stead of hanging from the hook iu tho
coiling, it is impossible for us to bo
quite certain; but one thing wo do
know, and that is, that, to the end of
his days, 110 pet poodle, or glossy
King Charles or graceful greyhound
was ever more tenderly cherished by
master and mistress than was grim,
ill-favored, ill-bred, faithful Bobo by
Max and his little wife.— New Ifork

The Tongues of Birds.
Although the form of the tongue of
birds usually corresponds to the Bhape
of the bill, there aro exceptions to
this rule, as, for example, in tho
waders, kingfisher aud hoopoe, which,
in spite of their long hills, only pos¬
sess small cartilaginous tongues. In
the polican, indeed, tho tongue is al¬
together rudimentary. In most birds
whose food consists of seeds, tho
tongue is dart or awl shaped ; in others
spatulate ;rarely vermiform or tubular.
In some birds, such as the owl, which
swallow their prey entire, tho tongue
is broad and serves a.^jj)fniere shovel.
In the hedge sparrow, nuthatch, wood¬
cock and others the tongue if bifid or
trifid at its apex, while in the hum¬
ming birds the tongue is split into
two branches almost to its base, and
is used for actually gripping the small
insects on which these resplendent lit¬
tle creatures subsist. In a family of
parrots tho tonguo is provided at its
ajiex with a brush of some 250 to 300
hair-like processes. In the parrots,
the tonguo is thick and fleshy, devoid
of horny barbs or papillm, and is even
suspected to possess sense organs of
taste. It is interesting to note that
the parrots,tho form of whose tongues
most closely resembles that of man, are
able to imitate his language more
clearly thau any other birds.

A Vino for Every Homo.
A lady lately asked for the name of
tlie “host all round vine.” It 1 h im
possible to say which is tho best with
out knowing what is expected of the
vine; whether it is intended to trnin
over a slender frame or to cover a
J high fence; whether it is wanted for
its flowers or simply for its foliage;
whethor an annual or an evergreen is
preferred.
For all gcnoral purposes I know of
nothing superior to tho white passion
vine, Constance Elliott, It will lend
itself to all uses, meekly trailing over
11 low frame or quickly mounting ft
wall if given anything in the way of
support. If neglected it will crawl
over the ground and bloom in appar¬
ent contentment. If cared for it will
soon shade a large veranda, Sovcral
years ago my first viuo, a tiny scrap
of a plant, small enough to bo covered
with a pint can, was bought and
planted out in tho spring, Within a
few months it covered a frame twelvo
feet high and fifteen wide, making a
| dense shade for a south porch, This
I vino is hardy everywhere and an evor
! green except in very cold climates. It
has one peculiarity appeciated by all
housewives, and which makes it vtilua
ble as a climber for tho porch—it is
never attacked by insects of any kind.
The greatest objection to most vines
around tho houso is that they harbor
spiders, caterpillas and other insects.
I have often been obligod to remove
pretty vines on this account. But on
a white passion flower shading our
long southern “gallery” for several
years none of these troublesome pests
ever appeared.
^ho flowers are largo, creamy white
of beautiful form and delicate frag¬
rance, appearing in profusion during
the spring and summer.
Like all robust growers it should
have a largo space by itself. No rose,
no shrub of moderate growth can
thrive in close proximity to any strong
growing plant, which drinks the mois¬
ture arid absorbs all the richness from
the soil. But for a place where there
is plenty of “foot room” nothing in
the ola hardy , 1 flowering 1 , climber , 1
way
surpasses this passion vine.—Detroit |

Rubber Ball in Fire Nozzle.
Charles V. Pollock, a resident of
Des Moines, Iowa, made a discovery
about three years ago, while experi¬
menting with a garden hose. Ho
found that a rubber ball, if placed
loosely in a bell-shaped nozzle, would
divert a stream of water into an auto
matically moving wave of spray. He
found a practical use for tho discovery,
and has applied it to the ordinary lire j
nozzle.
The device is an exceedingly simple
one. It consists of tho attachment of
a bell-shaped funnel inclosing a rub¬
ber ball to tho ordinary nozzles which
are used in extinguishing fires. A cock
which is fitted to the nozzle can be
made . to , switch the stream of , water
from the funnel or from the norule at
the pleasure of the operator. It is
