A SPRAY OF APPLE BLOSSOMS.
They lay on the broad, low window ledge,
Where the hand of a little child
Had placed them—dewy, and fresh,
sweet—
And the grandmother had smiled,
And softly stroked with her wrinkled hand
The curly, tumbled head;
And then the needles bright were still;
Unrolled the snowy thread.
For, borne on the breath of the apple
bloom,
She lived in the golden past;
She saw an orchard where blossom snows
Were falling thick and fast—
Falling upon the fair, bent head
Of a maiden in girlhood’s prime,
Heading a letter, worn and creased
From folding many a time.
“When the apple blossoms are here once
more,
I shall come back, Allaire—
Shall come for my answer.” The scented
wind,
Which ruffled the maiden’s hair,
Brought to her ears a well-known voice,
She turned in a startled way—
“I have come for my answer; what is it,
dear?”
What could she do but la;,
Her hands in the eager, outstretched ones?
Ah! life is sweet in June,
When hearts keep time to the liquid flow
Of life, and light, and tune;
And when, in her snowy, floating veil,
She stood on her bridal morn,
She would have but the tinted applebloom
Her white robe to adorn.
Through the open window the western wind
Blew soft on the wrinkled face,
When a smile shone, sweet as that could be
Which had lit her girlhood grace.
A little voice called her tr>’°nt thoughts:
“Grandpapa sent me fe see
If you knew that the clock has been striking

And he wants you to pour his tea!”

A POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.
How the Thieves Managed to Get
Into the Safe.
A into post-office Minnesota inspector investigate says:— I went rob¬
up to a
bery. German The postmaster was a well-to-do
tion merchant, whose greatest ambi¬
is to be postmaster. He has a son,
‘Kick,’ a round-faced little boy, who was
all smiles and smartness. When the
postmaster received hik commission he
called Nick to one side confidentially:
‘Nick, I am der bostmaster; you are der
assistant bostmaster. Der government
trust ns with broberty, und I don’d feel
righd aboud it. I must go down to St.
Baul und puy a safe.’ So the old man
went and bought a new safe that cost
$425. They and got it in place, put all the
stamps into other government property
it, and two weeks later burglars en¬
tered the building and the safe was
opened and robbed. When I got on the
ground the postmaster first wanted to
read his political speeches in the last
campaign and tell me how much he
thought of Ihe administration, but we
got how to the business burglars finally. gdt into He the showed building—- me
quite an easy tijick—and then showed
the safe. ‘Und dese doors was open just
the as dey are it now!’ he said. I looked over
safe; was brand new—not a mark
of violence on it anywhere, nor locks dis¬
turbed. I told the postmaster Nick
must of the have burglary. forgotten This to lock it the Nick night
his feet in brought to
a paroxysm. All at once
something caught my eye on the wall.
It was: ‘Turn to the right three times,
stop at 37; to the left twice, stopping at
91; to ‘What the right is once to 84—open.’
“ that?’ I asked.
“‘Oh! dot is der gombination. You
see, when I get this new safe in they
sent a card up from St. Paul with that
on, but I forget him, and Nick he lose
him, so I just write dot up on der wall
where we can see him.’
“ ‘And yon can’t imagine how the
thieves got into your safe ?’
“ ‘I liaf buzzled my brain over it for
two months!’
t: ( Don’t you think the thieves might
have found the combination on the
wall?’
“A great light seemed to break in
upon, the honest German ‘bostmaster.’
He opened his eyes wide, looked again
at the safe and the combination on the
wall, and then, with a big sigh, remark¬
ed; ‘Well, now, maybe dot was so. » j>

When anything siands a test of fifty years
among a discriminating peop’e, it is pretty
good evidence that there is merit somewhere.
Few, if any, medicines have met with such
continued success and popu arity as lias
marked the progress of Bkaxdreth’s Pills,
which, after a trial of over fifty years, are con¬
ceded to he the safest and most effectual blood
purifier, tonic and alternative ever introau ed
to the pubi c.
That this is the result of merit, and that
Bn akdreth’s Pills perform all that is claimed
for them, is conclusively proved by the fict
that those who regard them with the greatest
favor are those who have u ed them the
longest.
Brandreth’s Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.
