VIOLA JACKSON. ••Yes. I sm tired just a little hit, bnt not too tired for a talk with you. So come to me right now, you brown-eyed, laughing Rttie one See, here ore ever so msnv flow ers. I picked 'kPUJ on the rond side, just down the lane a little war. Yioleta and daisies and wild verbena, and one wee hit of a wild rose; they are yooia, every one of them. Certainly they are I can get plenty more—a whole hnndfol of wild flowers. ••Why. I feel to-day that all the flower* bloom for me, and that the birds sing lor me too as well as for other people There 1 you’re paoght the rose in yonr little fat dimp’ed hand “What do you know ahont roses, yon wee angel? Whv yon haven’t been in this great big beautiful world one short year yet. 1 remember it well. They told me that yon had come, and were a tiny little ugly thing that bod to be curried about on a pillow lest yonr soft little bones might be broken. Po yon know what I snid ? Now, don’t look so saner at me out of those great brown eyes I ssid, ‘I don’t want to *ee the little ngly thing,' and I didn’t. I waited eyer so long, and when I came over one bright, cool October day, yon were a very respectable looking baby, and hud been named Mary, (the sweetest name on earth, and then 1 protested against any one ever being permitted to call you Mollie.) “Aid all this was hmdly a year ago. and now just look at you 1 O, my I You’ve left off your long robes—r.o longer a baby, eh?

At any rote, you know woman-like, that I love you, and am saying sweet things to von. (How quick the wo man-nature shows itself I) “Making step* too 1 Little paltering feet —I did not expect to bear their music so *oon. “Now you've caught the whole bunch of wild lower* and ran away, looking back so cunningly. You want to romp, do yon? There! I’ve esnght you. and mpsn to run right into thep rlor with yon. That’s what yon like. Don’t gaze so wendronsly at that picture of Beatrice on the wall. She’s beau tifol, but so sad 1 don’t want your pretty, lsugbing brown eyes to see anything sad. No, no! tears will come eoon enough, my little one, and you will be colled on to shed yoar share in this great and ofter tearful world—o. my collar! I’ll just kiss that little hand until it lets loose. “0. this little bl«ck Ik ad! I wouldn't take a hundred dollars for this black, silky btir of years. And it’s trying to curl, tool "And ‘mamma’ want* to go to the pic nic, down on the lake, where the green grass grows, aud the long gray moss bang* in beautiful and giaceful festoons from the trees. How do you kDow that I'm goiDg to keep you and play nursery-maid ? 41 ‘What do I know about babie*?' The idea ! Why, I’ve been in a boose with a baby all my life—l know that you think I belong to you—you tell me so by your laugh and co*. “My ! yon coo like a dove—a real little dove—only there isn’t a dove in all the wild wood that can eoo so sweetly. ‘Mamma’ should call her home tbe ‘dove-cote.’ “I'm t* keep you. am I? Won’t you have a nice time upsetting my work basket and ink-bottle, ai d tearing my books and pulling my flowers ; for, of course, you are to do as you please on that day. 1 wonder how we will like each other after spending a whole long summer’s day together ? I won der if I won’t ft el a little more sympathy for poor, tired, care worn mothers, who seldom get a peep at tbe green woods? I wonder, too, if my heart wod'l expand a little , aDd if I won’t think o tenei to keep the babies while mammas’ go to church, and pic-nics, and elsewhere to find a little recreation and cheer? I wonder if I will ? “ Most big enough to go to school,’ you say with your eyes. Well, your papa and I went to school just down that little path that lends over the creek, but the old school house is gone now ; yet tbe trees are there atiU, aod tbe cieek runs on jest as it did when we used to wade io and wash our bare little feet. 1 can almost see it dow. though tbe vioes are s* thick. This was when I was a real baby child, with my First Header. 0, It seems so long, so loßg, since I k-ft it to go to a great eollege, with its many stories aod massive walls, sed some* times I wish that all my childhood had been •pent in the little old log scbool-bouse. • A tear I—cruel thing to come welling dp at tbe thought of the hallowed put. * . - to » And yet I do not pine to he a child again, although these reminiscences make me so weak sometimes. But what do yoo know ef all this ? Now don’t look so at me aod then at tbe piano. There’s no mosic in my fingers.

Etna —Bnt if we failrd to see Stromboll, we had the fall benefit of Mt. Etna, and this made up for ranch that might have bopn lost in the night The snow-clad summit of this magnificent mast was in plain view and apparently close at hand long before we came abreast of its mighty buttresses reach ing down to the shores of the »ea. Spring ing from tide level, with no intervening foot hilia to break the effect of height, and tow ering upward until an altitude of eleven thousand feet is reached, this mountain pre sent* one of the finest spectacles of the kind to be found anywhere in tbe world. To give an idea ol her vastness let me say that her base covers an area of gome seventy miles in circumference, yet so symmetrical is her shape and so great the elevation that the crater, which is said to be a mile in diameter, seems but like the natural slmrp point of a perfect cone Not only by her size and height, however, does Etna impress one, but equally also by her fine form and tbe picturesque effect presented hy tbe graceful wreath of smoke which floats away like a feathery plume from her glittering helmet of snow. Altogether, tbe picture unfolded to view that calm, beautiful Sunday morning was one opon which memory may dwell with emotion* of pleasure for a lifetime. Behind us lay tbe narrow straits famous in fable and poetry ; on our right rose this majestic pile; on the left ran tbe low reaches of the Culahrian coast, flanked by barren ruin covered heights, with snow-clad mountains beyond, and before ns stretched the dark blue waters of the Mediterranean dotted here and there with odd-looking and odd colored sails, some close at hand and others far away toward the horizon line.—Cor respondence Washington Star. A Storv or a Trail—She was u fall, stoat individual, and sprang out of tbe wagon as lightly aa a jaybird after a gra s bopper. He was a little withered, dried-up weasel, and followed slowly, bringing a basket of eggs with him They entered one of our stores and she asked : “ W hat are ye givin’ for eggs ?’’ “Eight cents,” was the reply of the counter-jumper. “Well, here are three dozen.” said the fat party, “and I’ll take it in calico.” ‘ But I want some yarn to mend my socks,” said the old man. “The weather is warm," replied the fat purty, “and you can go without socks.” “But my boots hurt my feet," aaid the old man. ‘ G* barefooted," said she, rather sharply. Then turning to the clerk, she changed her tone and remarked : “Young man, please count out the eggs and give ine four yards ol calico to match this ’ere dress ’’ “But ” the old man was going to con tinue, when she raised her huge index finger and said; “Henry W. D. Spriggin*, them ’ere eggs are mine ; the hens what laid ’em was mine ; the corn wbat fed ’em was mine, and I’se going to have a trail on this ’ere dress as long os Betsy Gowen’s if every toe on your lett turn to gum-biles. Now. shut up. And you. young man, yank ofl four yards of (bat 'ere calico, or I’ll go for you like a streak av lightnin’.” The old man shut up and the clerk yanked off the calico. Thu Chinks* (^ukstion. —II the people of California adopt tbe new constitution, wuich is to be submitted t* them for ap proval er rejection in May next, no further legislation will be needed to secure them against the incursions of Chinese immigrants. It provides that no corporation now existing or hereafter formed under the laws of Cali fornia shall employ, directly or indirectly in any capacity, any Chinese or Mongolian; that no Chinese shall be employed on any State, county, municipal or other pnblic work, except in punishment for crime. It declares that the presence of foreigners ineligible to become citizens of the United States is dangerous to the well-being of the State, and that tbe Legislature shall dis courage their immigratiou by all means withio its power. Asiatic coolieism is for ever prohibited in the State, and all con tracts f*r coolie labor are declared null and void. The Legislature is directed to provide the necessary legislation to prohibit tbe io troduetion of Chinese into. Californit after the adoption of the constitution. It may possibly be determined that the clauses in reference to the employment of the Chinese by corporations will stand sgainst a contest in tbe courts of tbe United States, but it is at least doubtful But, right or wrong, the poor Chinamen cannot stand up against the tide of popular disfavor, which ruus so strong against them. Wowkn KrasiNO—Did you oversee two women kiss each other? It’s very fnnny, They sidle up toward each other and smile a dty sort of a smile, then they both job for ward and their lips come together with an unctuous dryness that has no suction, or warmth, or life about it. How different when there is a young man with a mustache in tbe business! Then they draw down to each other gently, but firmly, get a good solid bold with tbeir feet aod bands, the eyes fondly, tenderly, meltiogly gaze into each other, the lip* meet first with a gentle pres sure, and more, until you think tbeir teeth will give way, and all tbe time the snetion would discount a force-pump. Oh. there’s a wouderlul difference! Whrn the flower of tbe family is out on an evening racket it’s a bad case of the night blooming serious. Tbx man who sighed for tbe wings *f a dove probably did not know that the leg* were much better eating. One of the problem* which puzz'es a magi cian is how to strike a bee flat without get ting stung by its demisemiquaver.
