A SPRAY OF APPLE BLOSSOMS.
They lay on the bi-oad, low window ledge,
Where the hand of a little child
Had placed them—dewy, and fresh, and
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 crease!
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 apple bloom
Her white robe to adorn.
Through the open window tlie 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:

A POST-OFFICE ROBBEBY.
How the Thieves Managed to Get
Into the Safe.
A post-office inspector says:— I went
up into Minnesota to investigate a rob¬
bery. The postmaster was a well-to-do
German merchant, whose greatest ambi¬
tion is to be postmaster. He has a son,
‘Nick,’ n round-faced little boy, who was
all smiles and smartness. When the
postmaster received hitf commission he
called Nick to one side confidentially:
‘Nick, I am der bostmaster; you are der
assistant bostmaster. Der government
trust us with broberty, und I don’d feel
righd aboud it. I must go down to St.
Baul uud puy a safe.’ So the old man
went and They bought it a new safe that all cost the

stamps and other government property
into it, and two weeks later burglars en¬
opened tered the and building robbed. and When the I safe was the

ground the postmaster first wanted last to
read his political speeches in the
campaign and tell me how much he
thought of the administration, but we
got how to business finally. He showed building— me
the burglars got into the
quite an easy trick—and then showed
the safe. ‘Und dese doors was open just
as the dey safe; are now!’ brand he said. I looked mark over
it was new—not a
of violence on it anywhere, nor locks dis¬
turbed. I told the postmaster Nick
must have forgotten to lock it the night
of the burglary. This brought Nick to
his feet in a paroxysm. All at once
something caught my eye on the wall.
It was: ‘Turn to the right three times,
stop at 37; tjo the left twice, stopping at
91; to the right once to 84—open.’
“ ‘What is that?’ I asked.
“ ‘Oh! dot is der gombination. T 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 you cau’t imagine how the
thieves got into your safe ?’
“ ‘I haf buzzled my brain over it for
two months!’
“ ‘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, so.’” remark¬

Tlie Kc.ult of Mori-,
When anything stands a test of fifty years
ameng 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 Bkastjreth’s Pills,
which, after a trial of over fifty years, are con¬
ceded to be tlie safest end most effectual blood
purifier, tonic and alternative ever introdu ed
to the publ'c.
That this is the result of merit, and that
Brandreth’s Pills perform all that is claimed
for them, is conclusively prov, d by the f act
that those who regard them with the greatest
favor are those who have u ed them the
iQngest.
BRANDnETH’s Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.
