THE CUP OF JOY.
The thlnl day was tbo. marriage feast
(Chimo on, chime on, swett bells'.)
Where first of gifts, our perfect Priest
(The straugo old story tells),
Before ho took the cup of grief
■He drained that we might And relief.
Blessed for all time from sin's alloy.
And blessing, gave, thfcup of Joy.
At Cana was the marvel done
(Chime on, chime on, sweet bells!);
But every feast beneath the sun
The same old story tells.
How, ns the earth joy mounts most high,
“They have no wine” is still the cry;
And still the last becomes the best
Whene'er the Christ power stands confessed
“Whatso Heanith unto you, do,”
Chime on. chime on, swegtbellsl
Till every wedded life anew
The old glad story tells
How keeps that, world Its power divine
To turn the water into wine,
'And day by day, though thirst destrfly,
Renew the falling cup of joy!

CONCERNING LUNCHES.
t
■4
Places Where the Character Is Brought
Out.—The Gregarinns Luncher*.
In vino veritaa is an ol«l Baying that
has much of truth in it; but it was said
by somebody when the drinking of wine
was universal. A free translation of the
proverb, for present purposes, might l*i
made thus: “At lunch one’s real charac
ter is revealed.” The character comes
out, wine or no wine. There is the
luncher who is always thinking what
tlach dish coats and whether he can
afford it. He carefully studies the hill
of faro, and selects from it the cheapest
dish that his stomach can digest. He
never takes the extras—-feels that he can
not afford pie or wine or the after dinner
coffee that is indispensable to the true
epicure. Ho eats because he has to live,
and gets very little enjoyment out of it.
Ho grudges the quarter that he spends
daily, and goes into elaborate mental cal-
- culations as to how much he could save
in the course of a year if he only could
go without any lunch at all. “Three
hundred (Lavs at twenty-five cents a day
makes ^>75 a year, which would buy five
suits of clothes or pay rent for two
montlis.” Alas, that man was mad#
with a stomach that requires filling so
t oftertl
Then there is the luncher who has
plenty of money, hut no appetite; wlic is
blase in the matter of food, who sjiends
$2 a day for his midday refection, and
yet gets little satisfaction out of it.
These two are, perhaps, equally un
happy. Blessed is the man who has a
good appetite! If he cannot afford more,
his five Cent sandwich and piece of pie,
washed down with a five cent glass of
milk, affords him more real enjoyment
than Dehnonico’s choicest dainties afford
the sated millionaire. If, by chance, he
makes a lucky strike, and can command
half a dollar, how ho revels in the cut of
roast beef, the glass of ale and the pie
and French coffee that make up what
sterns to him a princely banquet!
See the good natured man! How the
humor in him, developed by the process
of eating and drinking, shines out
every word and look and gesture! At
lunch, the loquacious become more talk
ative; the reserved more silent; the eco
nomical more sparing of money; the
imaginative, bolder and sometimes more
unveracious; the witty, quicker and hap
pier in their turns of thought and phrase.
It is the gregarious lunchers who get
the most pleasure out of their “nooning "
There aro dozens of places, high and
low, where day after day the same com
pany of two -or four, or half a dozen,
meet at lunch time. These are not of
the hurried sort, who must get througt
as quickly as possible, and be back at the
office iu half an hour from the timo of
leaving. They take three-quarters of an
hour at- table. They tell stories, talk per-
onal gossip, discourse on politics, horse
racing, baseball, or whatever topic comes
uppermost.
This is all carried on in a good natured
way that ought to, and probably does,
aid digestion wonderfully.
A word should be said about the rest -
less luncher, who is never satisfied to go
two days consecutively to the same place;
who is always looking up new restau
rants and who, in consequence, is badly
served more than half the time. Some
men are constructed in this scattering
kind of way, and cannot be happy with
out constant change; hut they have the
worst of.it in the long run.—J. A. Stew
art in The Epoch.
Soldiers »rd Newspapers.
“We have grown so accustomed to
newspapers,” said an oW soldier, “that
those of us living in cities fail to appre
ciate how necessary they are to our com
fort and contentment of mind. Now, I
was in the Confederate army, and during
our long campaigns in the south we rarely
heard from home. A newspaper—and
we saw few of them—was as welcome as
a square meal to a starving man. At the
battle of Chicamauga a detachment of
Federals were posted liehind Lee & Gor
don's mills, on the bafcks of the Chick-
amauga river, opposite us. Our division
was ordered to charge them. We plunged
into the water and started for the enemy.
' ‘‘The Yankees, however, caught us in
a shrewd trap. They cut down the dam
just as we were in the middle of the
stream, and a torrent of water came
down upon us. It came up to our waists
and nearly swept us off our feet. W e
hail to hold our guns above our heads in
order to keep them dry, and you know
that wading through deep water is slow
work. The enemy, in the meantime,
were firing upon us. hut we managed to
plunge through the water and reach the
bank. Just as I climbed up I saw lying
iq>on the ground a copy of a Kentucky
paj)er. It was only two days old and
entirely unsoiled. I stooped down in the
middle of the charge, under the hottest
kind of a lire, and finding up that paper
put in my pocket. Vi e drove the
Yankees out of the mills, and after the
battle was over. I sat down and read the
paper, advertisements and all, with the
most intense pleasure. It passed from
one soldier to another, and they read it
until it was so badly worn that the letters
could no longer be deciphered. ’ ’—Chicago

ProvlHlotilng a Ualloon.
Expecting a long trip, we had taken
food and water for three days. We had
chicken, corned beef, beans, bread, crack
ers, hard tack, salmon, lobsters, pickles,
alt, vinegar, mixed nuta, oranges and
bananas. So you seo that we were not
likely to starve, had we gone, as we
thought we might, into the deep wilds of
Michigan or Canada. We also had hooks
and lines for fish, and a keen ax, to aid
us in the woods, or wherewith to chop
our way out of the wreck had we bc-en
ast away on one of the great lakes. And
we had an electric light for use at night.
Our plans had been well laid; and had
not Moore been hurt, or had not the bal
loon been tom at the start, our voyage
would perhaps have been more to our
liking.
A few final details may interest you.
The hist and first sound to reach us,
while we were above a mile high, was
the sharp shriek of a locomotive. I
saw one express train as we soared above
its tiny track; and it looked like a mere
toy train a few inches long which did not
seem to move faster than a snail. Yet
we knew that it was on its way with all
its usual speed, thirty miles an hour, at
least.
During our voyage we ate and drank
just as we might have done at a picnic.
Truly, we lived “high. ” A luncheon
above the clouds was to me a very novel
affair. I threw over the peel of an or
ange. Down, straight down it shot, a
Hash of gold in the sun, 100 feet, 1,000
eet, a mile. Long before it struck the
earth it had gone out of sight. But be
fore it disappeared it came to a point
where it seemed to stand still in midair.

The Broker’s Victim.
“Does anybody ever get rich dealing on
i margin?” Mr. Dunn was asked.
“1 have never yet seen such an indi
vidual; they all go broke.”
“Then I* should think the business
would die out.”
“Business is not as it used to be. but
'.here tire always pigeons to be plucked.
Watch any prominent broker's office for
i year and you will see a complete change
n the people who frequent it. One crowd
gets cleaned out and another crowd takes
ts place. ’ ’
“Who are the victims?”
“They come from every walk of life,
mt the broker’s best customers are mer
chants and business men who begin by
-i-king a little money that they can spare
without hurting them. A few stop when
hey have lost their little surplus, but
Most of them stick to the game until they
ire cleaned out and in the hands of tbo
-heriff or assignees. Those who escape
-uin are those whose first loss is tln-ir
last; who stop before the passion beef'—vs

Tlie Alligator's Meal.
An observer clown south says an alliga
tor's throat is an animated sewer. Every
thing which lodges in his open mouth
goes down. He is a lazy dog, and in
stead of hunting for 6ometliing to eat., he
lets his victuals hunt for him. That is, hu
lies with his great mouth oi>en. appar
ently dead, like the ’possum. Soon a
bug crawls into it, then a ily, then sev
eral gnats and a colony of mosquitoes.
The alligator doesn't close his mouth yet.
He is waiting for a whole drove of things.
He does his eating bv wholesale. A little
later a lizard will cool himself under the
Ishafte of the upper jaw. Then a few
frGgs will hop up to catch the mosquitoes.
Chen more mosquitoes and gnats will
jht on the frogs. Finally a whole vil-
of Bisects and reptiles settle down
yr an afternoon picnic. Then all at
ice there is an earthquake. The big
aw falls, the alligator blinks one eye.
