Baby's birth,luy, a year age.
Chasing tliebutterfles o'er the clever

For she was ijueeu the whole world

A.II was happy for baby’s sake.
Ibd tile sunshine passed and the dark

Fell a shadow our lives between.
And baby's sweet little face was
lifted,
Wondeilug what could that shadow
mean.
■Father, kiss mother," baby faltered;
Oil! we wept till our hearts must
break,
As the old, old love came back un
altered.
All forgiven—for bully’s soke.
Baby is gone to the golden weather,
Over the shining mountain’s brow;
Through the dark mists wo walk to
gel her,
We have only each other now.
But your hands into mine and pray,
dear:
Fray tlint soon the morn will break;
That God will hear u» and show the
way, dear.
Safe into lieaveu—for baby's sake
A Real Romance.
The wild wm is of March were
rag ng outside as tuough io a last
strong effort to assert the supre
macy of winter—waning and dy
ing winter—over the world and
year. Within, the thick curtains
shut out to poverty and storm of
existence, and shut in its luxury
aud calm If the two touug men
who sto >d by the cheerful fire
move 1 a Hit e closer toil as the
wind sang its wild song in a Id tie
louder tone than a moment before
it was not for added warmth.
There w, s already all tha differ
ence between within and without
that there i between us aud the
antipodes. The feet moved near
er the hearth, and the hands were
stretched out to the grateful blaze
iu a sjrt of natural and instinct
ive horn ige tr the po.ver of uu-.
tamed nature which was doing un
jiva>iing battle with shutters and
windows
Charlie Oswald and John Fane
looked contenied. A strong con
trast of comfort with the impossi
ble to-us but near at-hind for
sotne-one-else discomfort is apt to
m she us happy, and being happy
us a habit leaves content written
on a man’s face. It lurks in nis
young ‘inile, ami will grow deep
down info his o'd wrinkles as the
y. ars go on—And Charlie Oswald
and John F«ue, contented and
happy by habit, had a good bisto
• y written in the young smiles on
their faces; the youny smiles that
had not furrowed the muscles, yet
with the lines tha? tell of fleeting
time.
These two men had reason to be
happy. Money is a good thing,
when well used, and each had
enough of it, and had the wisdom
to use it well. Good looks, fair
talents, liberal culture, good hab
its, good reputations, war in friends
they hud all these. What fortnue
and education bad done for them
had made them strong men.
What they had to do for them
selves they did as strong men do
things. Neither was an egotist
yet each had a deep-rooted and
fir reaching belief in his powers.
The shallow mind broods on what
it can do; the deep ot.o remembers
what it has done. Neither of
th( se men coulil be called shal
low. They would have wondered
at failure. Neither bad ever fail
ed.
But neither Charlie Oswald nor
John Fane could be thought of as
u great man. Ttiey were only
evenly balanc'd men, full of bodi
O and mental vigor, types of the
best American manhood. They
were workers. Charlie Oswald
pamted more pictures than he
soid, if truth must be told; and
John Fane read law—a great deal
more tnan he practiced it.
But hey were not working to
night. There would be for them
to night no weightier arguments
than those o be gleaned from the
pages of the daily newspapers, and
no more lasting pictures than
those done in one neutral 'int
which tue imaginative min 1 can
form from cigar smoke.
In fact, these two somewhat re
marked young men were about

papers.

John Fane and Charlie Oswild
had their parlor in common. Their
sleeping rooms above stairs were
next each other, and half the
time the (wo friends spent their
nights together. Their rooms
were no more common than their

secrets. John Fane, engaged to
Viola Courtenay, hoped with die
whole earnestness of his nuture
that her sis er Blanche might be

A history of the crimitial prac

be a volume of bloody tragedy,
but would contribute lurgely to
humorous literature. Years ago,
when Colonel W. P. Grace was
prosecurt.g attorney of a south
ern circuit, he wns determined, in
view of the inexcusable leniency
which prevu’led, to effeci a reform
by enforcing on minds of grand
jurors the necessity of punishing

the man.

New seed is as requisite as ma
nure at interva's for meadow aud
pasture lands. In fact, it .s well
lo sow seed with snob dressing of
compost as repea'ed cutting and
pasturage weakens tin grass and
preveu'.a the retention of a thick,
hea thy sod.
It is sue! that although pears
g lifted ou apple stocks will grow
and bear, yet ttiey sve short lived.
The better plan is to graft on
pear stocks fir standards and on
angus quince for dwarfs.
When an t rcb&rd has come
surly iuto bearing it is a good
plan to sow clover and turn it
nto a hog pasture. The pigs and
the-oil will both derive benefir.
