Ibd tile sunshine passed and the dark clouds drifted, 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 10 smoke and read the evoi iDg papers. ‘■What a tremendously over grown thing a newspaper is get ting to be!” said Oswald ‘ One OUK OWN SECTION W'' liABiH!
