THE HOME COMING.
In glad green fields sweet bells
are ringing.
In woodlands dim a Hi rash is
singing.
And thy feet are
springing.
In vine-eiad cots the lights are
shining
Where rise no songs of sad re
pining.
And roses for thy test, are twin
ing.
And one awaits thy kiss—thy
greeting;
I Ter heart thy dear name is re
peating,
And times thy footsteps with
its beating.
Sweet is thy toil—thy strong
endeavor.
And neither life nor death shall
sever
Thy heart from love that lives
forever I
— P. L. Stanton.
LOOKING FOR RICHES.
There was silence between
them. Wilson Shardeloe had
performed the duties of a host.
lie bad given his friend the
best chair and himself had
taken the one whoso wicker had
cracked at- the back so as to
make ii adit tie creaky, a little
dangerous x little uncom
fortable. He had passed the
cigarettes and the whisky ami
bad unwired the soda water.
It was II o’clock. The temple
is very quiet at I hat hour. Even
the rumble of the hurrying han
som in Fleet slreet or the Strand
only e<ones with soft murmur
as of green woods in summer
time.
■ The hour and its stillness,
tin' solitude a deux, all invited
confidences. Vet the men sat
silently smoking. Jack Tyr
wliitt spoke first.
‘‘You’re a poor host, Sharde
loe. You earn for the vile body
with c'gars and things, but you
leave inv intellect unfed . For
goodness sake, man, talk of
something, if it is only the odds
about the Leger ”
Shardeloe heaved a sigh and
came out of bis absorption with
an obvious effort.
“It’s generally I who talk
most,” he said, reproachfully.
“You have grown as silent U 9
an owl, Jack, lately. I don’t
know what’s the matter with
vnu. Have you been commit
ting a murder, or getting mar
ried, or running away with your
neighbor s wife, or what is it?
I’m sure you have some guilty
| secret.”
The other laughed with a lit
tle embarrassment.
“I'm ns iuuocent as the liabe
unborn,’’ he said. “But, se- 1
riouslv, there 'is something 1
should like to tell you, only 1
promised not to mention it to
anyone.”
“Holy Moses! ” cried the host,
with sudden and complete eu
lightonment. “I sec it all now
—yon re engaged.”
“It's true,” said .lack, after
a moment’s hesitation. “There
can’t be any .harm in my telling
you that much. The fact is,
she doesn’t want the engage
ment talked of at present for
amily reasons."
“Y s, 1 know,' 1 said Wilson,
encouragingly; “they, are like
that sometimes. 1 don’t be
lieve it’s really family reasons.
It’s only because they like to
make a tTi l ut nothing. We
must humor them, you know.
Is she pretty ?”
“She’s divine!”
“Any money?”
“Oh, yes, shpuld think so!
Her people are very well off.
But 1 ought not to, bo talking
about her. ”
“So y iu're oui|gl|l ftt last!”
“( wish you woqldn't clqilf
about it,’ suit! his friend. “I

ii.’

He pulh'd himself up short on
the brink of repeating her word
which had been to the effect

she could share h<-r secret with
the hard, unsympathetic world.

“1 knowg’ said bis friend,
with sympathy. “Mine's ju-i
the same. 1 know what you
mean. I’m glad we have told
each other, old man,’ Tyrwhitl
went on after another pause,
“because I was beginning to
wonder-what had come over
you, and now, of course, 1 un
derstand it.’
“I only wish I could tell you
her name. You’ll be best man.
won’t you ?’
“Of course I will, if I am not
put on the shelf before you.’
“Oil, Tyrwhitt, when I think
of that girl you don’t know how
terrible all sorts of things look
that i never saw anv harm be
fore! Hello, we are getting
sentimental! Have another go
of whisky.’
The next day Shardelo went
out of town, and the two men"
did not meet for nearly (line
weeks. Then, ns before, they
sat drinking whisky and soda,
and silence was between them
“You’re looking rather chip
py, old man,’ said the host.
“I dare say 1 do. The fact is.
I don’t know what to do with
myself. 1 daren’t look in at a
ball or take any one out to din
ner or do anything amusing be
cause she—you know who I
mean—is «o dreadfully dow no.

“Oh, yes, come on,’ sai
Shard doe, drawing the type
writer toward him. “But, J
say, if we give a false nann
they’ll look us up in tlm di’ee
tory and find us out.’
“Oh, I’ll write in Dauhehy'
name. His rooms are over in
llarcourt buildings, and I have
got the key.of them. He’sawav

“I’m afraid it’s rather sill*
—like two schoolboys.’
“Oh, well,one must do some
thing, you know,’
Shardeloe went out for a eop\

Ithey selected the most glowing

So they wrote a letter «!<•
scribing the pecuniary and mor
al affluence of the absent Daul -
eny.
“I like the name Ethel,’ said
Jack, drawing the letter from
the typewriter, ‘it's such a
sweet, good, innooent, tender
name.'
“1 think 1 lik" the full nann ,
Ethdreda, better. There’s
something dignified about it.’

cried .lack. "IV shall #av<- to

often wondered what sort of

Shardlelon drew the photo

at it. He dropped it. with a
hurried “D—in !’

“It's Ethel, Ethel—you know,

Already he spoke m the past i

“So she was to me, by Jove I’
cried Wilson incoherently.
‘Jack, that’s my girl too!’
They stood frowning at each
other across the photograph.
Then .Jack began to laugh, and
in a moment Wilson followed

“What a let off, bv heaven!'
lie said. “What shall we do!'
“I was very fond of her,
Shardeloe, old fellow,’ said
Jack.
But his friend said; “Don’t

“Shall we go together?’ said
Wilson, struck by a happy

“No, I don’t want to hit her

A layer of felt is laid between

STRANGE SEA MONSTERS.
The sting ray, a member of
the skate family, is a dangerous
| inhabitant of Florida waters,
file j,largest specimons.of the
kind, weighing from 4UO to SUO
pounds, live at great depths,
and are seldom found in shore,
but rays from thirty to fortv
pounds are often encountered
near the land, and natives eon
'ider tlipni to be fully ns dan
gerous as the octopus or the
; much dreaded blue shark.
The fish is a large, broad,flat
bellied creature, with eyes of a
golden tint, a sharp, spear-like
appendage at the end of the
back, and a long, slender tail i
that reminds one much of a 1
blacksnake whip. This whip
tail serves as a lariat with which i
an enemy mav first be lassoed
and sher, the barbed spine fin-1
ishesthe work by lacerating the
victim in a frightful manner, j
The sting ray i- a villainous I
creature from any point ofj
view, and has no friends in this!
or any other latitude.

CRIMINAL "LINES IN A
MAN’S FACE.
“I used to be a strong believ
er in physiognomy,’ said R.C.
Roller, a visitor in Washington,
“but have lost some of my faith
in it as a science. In fact, a
man's surroundings have very
much to do with she character
shown bv the face.
"I he lan iiinst ration of this
coming to Washington. When
we left Chicago, I noticed a
group of men two or three seats
in front of me, lint paid no at
tention to them particularly,
but after we had gone 50 miles
I saw that one of them was
haudoiifYod. lie was well dress
ed, and at first I thought he
did not look like a criminal,
but soon saw the lines that be
tokened cunning duplicity and
lack of morality generally.
“1 became so interested that
my gaze attracted the attention
of one of the officer* in charge,
who said;
“ ’You seem to be studying
the man I have here. Did you
ever see him before ?’
“1 told him that I had not,
hut 1 was a physiognomist and
was studying the criminal lines
in the saco.
“He prevailed upon me to
make a ro|Mirt ou the man’s
character, which was greeted
with laughter from the prisoner
as well as the officers.
“Then they explained that le
ans an irreproachable character
and in a prank had tried on the
cuffs which belonged to the
officer, and the key ts-ing lost
could not get them off.
