IF I HAD THH TIME.
' It I had the tisno to find a place
And sit me down full tieo to face
With my better seif, that stands no show
In my daily life that rushes so,
It might bo then I would seo my soul
Was stambling still toward tlio shining goal;
I might las nerved by the thought sublime,
, If I had the time!
\
If I had the time to lot my heart
Speak out and take in my lifts a part,
To look about and to stretch a hand ,
To a comrade quartered in no luck land;
Ah,.God! If I might hut just sit still
•And hear the note of the whippoorwill,
I think that my wish with God's would
rhyme,
If I had the time! " s -
If I had the time to learn Xrtjm yon
How much for comfort my word could do,
And I told you then of my sudden will
To kis3 your fqet when I did-you ill—
If tlio tears aback of the bravado
Could force their way and let you know—
Brothers, the souls of ua all would chime
If we had the time!

I don’t know exactly why Jock called
me governor, but I suppose it was be
cause I was some years older than lie
was and because, when he was a weo
toddler, 1 bad made him kites and
showed him how to Epin tops, and per
haps because I used to help him out of
scrapes, either with his teacher or some
playmate too large for him to “lick. ”
At all events, I got the name, and it has
stack to me. What surprised me most,
however, was to hear it a few weeks
ago, when 1 supposed Jack was thou
sands of miles away. I was strolling
leisurely down an old street in Dublin,
looking about for some old landmark of
the “stamping ground” of my child
hood, How things had changed I Yonder
where the little frame church had been
was a stately stone edifice. Over the old
golf links had been built long rows of
stores and houses, but there—yes, it
must be—there was a honsotliat had not
been chnnged.
“Governor,” said a voioe behind me,
“isn’t that tho house where Alico
lived?”
I never should have known the speak
er had it not been for the epithet. It
was Jack, careworn and gray and look
ing 85 instead of 87.
“Jack, old boy, What brings you hero?
I thought you were in America. ”
“I have been in New Orleans for a
good many years. Helen used to lilrotho
climate, but the company’s agent here
has. gone, and I must needs como and
take care of the business uufil another
man is appointed. Besides the president
knew that I once lived here and thought
it would be both aphaugofrom my sur
roundings and a pleasure to see tho old
place. But isn’t that Alice’s old home?”
“Yes,’’said I, “I am quitesuro of it,
but yon ougl’it to know best. Wasn’t she
once a sweetheart of yours?”
' “Oh, don’t speak of that! Yon pain
me I It brings back such a flood of sad
recollections even to loolc-upon tho old
scenes.. I don It know that you have
heard, but I am a widower. ’ ’
“My poor fellow.! I extend you my
most lieartfolt sympathies. But I didn’t
know you had evor married. However,
we have kept such poor track of each
other that I don’t wonder at my igno
rance. But can’t yon tell mo something
of yourself? Como, I’m your‘govern
or.’ ”
“Well, ‘governor,’ ” said ho, with a
faint shadow of his old smile, "I left
America nine years ago. I went straight
to Quebeo and lived there three years.
It was there I met hor who became my
wife. Wo were married just six years
ago last month. Her health failed and
we went south. Sho-grew worse, gavo
birth to our first child and died. That
was a little over two yeurs ago, and as
. the child is in good hands (my sister-
in-law’s) I consented to como hero. ”
“Bat, Jack, what made yon go to
America? Why didn’t you stay hero?”
“Well, it was the same old tale of
the young workingman not being fit to
many his idol. As yon said, Alico was
my sweetheart. Sho said so hersolf, dear
girl, but her brother Tom—there was
tho difficulty. I called on Alice very
often and had asked her to bo my wife,
though I was but 19. Sho said’Yes,’
hut Tom wouldn’t hear of it. I tried
to bring him around by all manner of
means, but he was resolute. Ho had
nevor liked me, and ho nover hesitated
to toll mo so. .In fact, he took great
pleasure in rating mo before as well as
behind my buck.
“ Ouo night—I think i t was Halloween
—a crowd of young fellows got out on
a lark, and in their sport took Tom’s
small donkey ont^of its shed, and push
ing it upon tho roof of a wagon house,
which sloped almost to-tbo ground, tied
it there. Tom tliqnght I was the prime
mover in the trick, though I knew noth
ing of it, nml accordingly tho next
night, when I called, promptly showed
mo tho door, with {he injunction nover
to set foot inside it again.
“I saw Alice at times, but she seemed
somewhat ebunged. So after I had tried
all in my power to straighten things I
got angry about it, and when I was of
fered a position in Canada I was glad to
leave. My marriage was not spite work.
I loved Alico and always shall, but I
knew I could bo happy with Helen and
then she said she loved mo."
Just then wo passed the house. It was
the name old place we both remembered.
The some trees and bushes spread their
branches about the lawn. In one comer
of the yard stood a large, old fashioned
:et pnmp and on. one of the boards
the side fence was tho rude, weather
stained carviua, "Jack Himrius mid
Alico Neal. ”, <
Jack turned red, then white, as he
looked at the names and then glanced
at mo. , 1
“Do you suppose the lives there
dow?” ho asked. i
“I’m sure I don’t know,” I replied,'
“but let’s ask sobie one. ” •
Several persons passed, but all seemed ‘
in a lnury, so wo wont into a store"
across tho street and inquired. Yes, Tom
Neal and his sister lived there. 1 Did we
know them? Indeed! No, his sister was
not married. Some fellow off in Amer
ica jilted her, so they said.
‘‘Well, Jack,” said I, after we came
out; “I'm not a matohmAkctr, but if, as
you say, ydn always have had a warm
affection for ^.lice, why don’t you begin
again? It isn’t too Into.”
Jack blushed to the roots of his hair
and said be should nover go there after
having been shown the door. I tried to
coax him, but it would not do, yet all
the time I could S8e ho wished to meet
his old “flame” once more.
Jack and I lived together at the same
hotel and daily I spoke to him of going
to call as a friend. At last tho day be
fore he was to return to J7cw Orleans I
got him dowu near Neal’s home. Wo
passed it six or eight times, and I began
to feel fdolish at promenading up nud
down the street. Once he stopped in
front of tho gate nnd ho put forth his
hand to open it, but drew baok like a
young schoolboy. Then I told him that
I had had enough of such fooliug nnd
that when we approached again wo
would have to go in. We came up. I
opened the gate and pushod him forward
np tho steps.
“Heavens, ‘governor!’” he gasped,
“Ring tho boll for me I”
Tom Neal came to the door and greet
ed ns warmly.
“Jack,” said he, “I owo you au
apology—lwtfe owed you one for years.
I found out who did that work with tbs
donkey and I’m sorry I ever treated you
as I did."
We began to chat of old times, and
shortly Alice came down stairs. She was
the same girl we had known, only ma
tured. I felt sure that she bad seen us
before wo entered, for sbo was dressed
in her loveliost. She met Jack not quite
like a sweetheart, but very tenderly.
It did me good to tell them of Jack’s
diffidence and what a hard timo I had
to got him to come. They were a little
displeased that he did not come before,
and when wo said something about sail
ing Alico oxclaimod:
“Sailing! What! Are you going
back?”
“Yes,” returned Jack domurely, “I
start tomorrow. ”
Alice hummqd to herself a moment,
then going over to him nud taking his
hands in her own, said:
“Well, I don’t propose that you shall
go without mo. I havo lovod you, nud
yorr me. You ouco asked mo to he your
wifo, but we wero separated. I know
you aro too bashful to ask me again, so
I ask you to bo my husband. ”
To say that we wero surprised is put
ting it mildly, but Jack turned to mo
and said, “‘Governor,’ you aro a
mntclimaker, after all. ”—Chicago Nows.

MET A REAL INJUN.
Future of tho Mlcrosoopo.
As thopliysiciuu’s assistant and guide
in diagnosis, tho microscopo looming
rapidly to the front. It is now the cus
tom with some advanced physicians
whenever there is a case with obscure
symptoms, or where consultations are
thought necessary, to draw a few drops
of the patient’s blood and examine it
under the microscope. This almost in
variably decides tho condition and is,
in many diseases, an iufnlliblo guide,
us tho blood is the great sowerago sys
tem of humanity. It takos up and car
ries to the lungs whatever impurities
may exist. There they aro consumed or
exhaled. It thoreforo stands to roasou
that tho blood is tho index to tho state
of tho system.
Another test adopted by all np to date
doctors is the examination -of tho per
spiration after a great degree of heat
has been applied to tho body. Tho suf
ferer is put into a steam box, and ufter
some moments of profuse perspiration
the surface of the body is scraped with
a sharp steel instrument, by means of
which whatever impuritios aro thrown
out may be taken from the pores. This,
; with the blood examination, is thought
by some practitioners to afford all of
| tho assistance necessary in determining
tfio nuturo of tho most obscure diseases,
j Of course, there are what may be called
| new diseases, aud this method will en
able tho skilled microscopist to detect
| them and study their genesis and treat
ment'.—New York Ledgor.

“Lonesome, wasn’t it?”
"Kind o’, but I wont on. I had mo

Tho redheaded boy looked apprehen

Fare to a Qtar.
| Besides being a great astronomer, Sir
Robert Ball is u man of figures. He tells
j us what it would cost to reach ouo of
' tho most distant stars, supposing a rail-
i way wero constructed to it from London
| and that the low rato of 1 penny per 100
miles prevailed. If tho intending pas-
; songer could present to tho booking olork
: tho wholo of tho national debt- of tho
| United Kingdom—a sum exceeding
i £070,000,000—he would require 5,000
huge carrs to convey it in sovereigns to
' tho ticket office. Even when tho poor
clerk had accomplished the lengthy task
of counting the “fare,” lie would want,
another £103,000,000 before ho would

Spraying Plants.
Among the important points brought
out at the last meeting of the Society
For the Promotion of Agricultural Sci- i
euco wore the following:
Spraying plants prevents, or at least'
cheeks; tho attacks of fungi aud insects,
nud this is the reason it is so generally
practiced. Li addition spraying with i
certain preparations, likobordoaux mix- j
tore, stimulates growth and causes an j
increased productiveness" in certain
plants. It is nor kuowu just how these
results aro brought about, for uono of
tho compounds in bordeanxmixture can
bo regarded as, plant food. Tho results
appear to be produced by the effect of
tho sprays on tho soil, modifying its ca
pacity for absorbing and retaining beat,
moisture and air.
