Christmas Song.
CONSTANTINA E. BROOKS.
O’er the hills night shadows iteal;
scares a light breeze stirs;
See the Virgin mild
Clasps her new-born Child!
Round the manger shepherds kneel—
Humble worshippers.
Hark! angels sing
Round their heavenly King!
’Tis for man, and not for them,
Slesps the Babe of Bethlehem.
Thou whose head to earth is lowly
Bowed in woe and shame,
When no help seems nigh
To thy piteous cry. ,
Think I it was not for the holy
The Redeemer came.
llark! angels sing
Round their heavenly King !
For earth’s sinful and defiled
Collies tonight the Saviour Child.
He who to the cradle brings
One pure, generous thought,
To the infant there
Brings a gift more rare
Than the gold and myrrh the kings
Of the Orient brought.
Hark! angels sing
Round their heavenly King!
’Tis for man, and not for them,
Sleeps the Babe in Bethlehem.

The Talisman.
A pout upon the red lips of Gerald Sin-
clair’s young wife—unmistakably a pout—for
though a wife of almost two years, the fond,
indulgent husband had for the first time said
nay to an openly expressed wish.
The fancy ball of the season, a grand and
fashionable assemblage, was to take place
during his absence, and he had said that he
should prefer she did not attend.
She was only twenty. Let this much he
said in extenuation of the two great tears
that rose to the brown eyes and slowly trick-
eled down the pretty face, splashing on the
dainty morning dress, which, clinging to the
dainty form, revealed so perfectly its grace-
ful outlines.
Certainly, Niobe had no reason to feel
ashamed of this one of her children. But
Gerald Sinclair had only stooped to kiss
away the glistening drops, in a half hurried
manner, perhaps to hide his awakening re-
morse.
“Never mind, little wife,l’ll make it up to
you another time.”
Then he was gone ; but she sat still turning
and turning her wedding ring, with eyes bent
upon it. It was a curious ring—a solid band,
set with five large diamonds.
It had been her charm, her talisman, not to
be taken from her finger until soul and body
had parted; but this morning it had lost its
charm. If it failed to scatter the clouds, it
failed to bring back the sunshine.
Even when the hour came around for Ger-
ald‘s home-comic g be missed his usual warm
welcome; but he thought that he might trust
his wife’s heart, and said nothing. The next
day he started on his journey.
“You’re not going, my dear?” exclaimed
Mrs. Martin, bursting in upon her friend on
the morning of the ball. “And why not '1’”
“Gerald is away,” replied Mrs. Sinclair,
with some little show of wifely dignity, as
though the fact were in itself sufiicient ex-
planation.
“And why need that make any difference?"
pursued Mrs. Martin, a bewitching little
widow some few years her friend‘s senior.
“I will share my escort with you—Count
Belonzi !”
Sophie Sinclair looked amazed. She knew
that the man mentioned had but lately gained
entree into society, and knew, also, that her
husband disliked and distrusted him.
Once or twice she had seen his eyes fixed
admiring upon herself, and had felt some-
what as the bird might feel beneath the has-
ilisk glare of the serpent.
“Well, why don‘t you answer 1’” continued
Mrs. Martin. “Will you go ?’
“No, no," she replied, trying to speak with
firm decision. “Besides I do not think that
Gerald admires the count.”
“I’rejudiees. The count is onezof the most
charming and agreeable men I know. In-
deed, I think I should bejcanonized for my
willingness to share his attentions especially
as I have heard him say all manner of pretty
things about you.”
“Nonsense, Ellen l” retorted Mrs. Sinclair.
But she felt the ground slipping beneath
her feet as she spoke.
After all, Gerald had not said positively
no! Had he thought it necessary, after he
had openly expressed his disapprobation of
her going P
He had not known that she would be sore-
ly tempted. Besides she would wearza mask.
No one would know her and when she told
Gerald he would forgive her. A sudden
thought came tozher.
“I will go,” she said;at last, after contin-
ued urging, and looking at the picture in all
its brightest lights, “on one condition, and
that is, no one is to know me—not even the
count. Say that you have persuaded a friend
to accompany you who wishes to remain un-
known. I will come to your house, where he
will find'me, and thus gain no clue.”
So it was decided; but in spite of her ex-
quisite costume of a fairy as she concealed
it and herself beneath a large domino, as the
clock of her manule chimed 10, it seemed to
Sophie every stroke said, “stay l stay 1”
She was almost tempted to obey it,bnt she
had promised Ellen, and, after all, she had
heard that it was well for young wives to as-
sert themselves.
And hourfilater, and, on the Count Belonzi’s
arm, she entered upon the brilliant scene. So
far, he had not even seemed curious to ascer-
tain her identity. She experienced at this a
singular sense of,rclief.
The ball was at its height as the clock rang
out theihour of midnight; but, for the first
time {in her life, light and gayety were dis-
tasteful. A hundred times she wished her-
self at home.
“I will tell Gerald. I have already been
punished,” she whispered to herself, as she
stood for a moment alone in a corner
“You look more like a nun than a fairy—
rather like one who had foresworn the vani-
ties of the world than asiren to tempt men to
their destruction,” said a voice close to her,
"though to the latter I know no one more fit-
ted,”
“Si
her elbow.
“Ah, you thought I did not know you. 1
should penetrate any disguise you wore.
Besides, you have forgotten to remove a
badge of recognition." _
She followed with her eyes his down
glance, and saw that it rested on her hand,
ungloved, as in better acccord with the ex-
igencies of her costume.
Involuntarily she drew it away, with the
ring which had betrayed her.
Denial was useless.
"Since you know me, then,” she said, “ we
will no further play a part. To others we are
masks; to ourselves we are ourselves.”
"Ah, madame," he whispered, “let as
rather say to the world we are ourselves to
each other we are a mask. Can men, think
you, look coldly on such beauty as you pos-
sess? Can—”
Indignant and alarmed, she checked his
r! she exclaimed, indignantly, recog-
nizing as she Spoke, the count standing at
ward
“Call a carriage for me,” she directed.
Ten minutes later she was within her own
house. Her first impulse was to tear off the
hated costume which had caused hef such
trouble; her next to throw herself on the bed
and sob out her excitement and Icontrition.
The morning sun, streaming in her window
awoke her.
With a shudder she remembered the events
of the past night. She looked down at her
hand—the hand which had been polluted by
another's touch—as though in some way she
expected to find the contamination branded
on the soft, white surface. It was all im-
marred; bnt— She looked again—she look.
ed away and back—she rubbed her eyes and
looked—the color meanwhile fluttering out
of her cheeks and her pale lips quivering, as
if her heart seemed to stand still in a sudden
agony of fear, for from the third fingerwas
missing the talismanic ring.
When and where had she lost it, and how
could she now find the courage to confess all
to Gerald 1’ She arose and dressed, revolving
and re-volving this problem in her mind.
At any hour her husband might return.
For the first time she dreaded to meet him—-
dreaded to look into the kindly, handsome
eyes, and red there all his incredulous re-
proach, mingled, perhaps, with scorn and an-
ger.
The day wore on. Her friend, Mrs. Martin,.
ran in to scold her for her dcsertion ; but her
pale face and trembling tones made good her
plea for sudden illness.
At nightfall Gerald arrived. She threw
herself in his arms, in a burst of nervous
weeping; but when he wonderingly asked its
cause, her courage failed her.
Why was it she never imagined ;thal he
might look stern until to-day P
A week passed, when one evening, sitting
in the twilight, a step sounded close beside.
She looked up to discover the count.
“Pardon 1” he begins, in‘answcr to her in~
dignant questioning look; “why must you be
so cruel? May I now see you P"
“Sir, I command you to leave me. I am
now under the protection of my own roof,”
He was about to answer, when a latch-key
was heard inserted in the outside door.
In an instant he had sprung into some
placepf concealment, but the fact that he was
near lent to the young wife a sudden courage
born of the moment’s desperation. Her hus-
band, entering, approached her, but she mo-
tioned him back.
“Gerald,” she said, “I have a bitter confes-
sion to make. It is fitting you should hear it
now.”
He listened with arms folded across his
breast, while she told him all the story of that
fated night.
“And this is all?” he questioned, bitterly,
when she had paused.
“No, not at all,” she continued, raising her
voice.
“My confession has another witness who
has forced his hated presence again upon
me. The Count Belonzi is here again, Ger-
rald.” _
As she spoke she drew aside the curtain“;
but the form she expected to disclose was
gone, the open window attesting to its flight.
Silently the husband drew a paper from his
pocket and showed her a paragraph offering a
reward for the arrest of a thief and swindler
known as the Count Beloazi.
“My darling," he said, “my little wife has
learned a good lesson she will never forget.
I have known this story all the time,but have
waited until you came to tell it to me. I re-
turned the night of the ball to take you with
~we ,when I found you had gone. Imagine
what I sufiiered and my added suffering when
arriving at the scene of enjoyment, where I
followed you, I discovered who was your
companion. I stood near you and heard the
words he addressed to you and heard with
joyful heart your answer; saw you wrench
your hand from his hold, and also saw what
you did not, the sparkle of the ring he drew
from your finger. Poor little girll I watched
you hasten through the crowd,and knew that
you had already met your bitterest punish-
ment. It has been through my efforts that
the count has been traced and exposed. Only
this morning I recovered your ring from the
man with whom he pledged it as a security.
Once more I place it on your finger. But re-
member,darling,it is only the outward charm.
A wife’s true talisman is her husband’shonor,
which no thief may steal, unless he acids as-
sassination to the crime and buys it with her
heart’s blood.”

Postal Regulations.
RECENT DECISIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT.
From the recent rulings of the post office
department the following facts are gathered:
The postmaster general is authorized to in-
troduce and furnish for public use “double
postal cards.” He has not yet taken action
under such authority, and until he adopts
some device no cards purporting to be double
postal cards can be sent in the mails, except
at letter rates. There is no law prohibiting
other writing than the address and return
request on the envelopes of letters prepaid
with one full letter rate, provided such other
writing is not of the character prohibited by
section 225, and is done by the writers there
of. Nothing but an address may be put upon
the address side of a postal card. There is
nothing in the law prohibiting a “ dun,”
or threat of prosecution being sent in the
mail by postal card. Further than enforcing
sections 225 and 220 the post office depart-
ment takes no cognizance of the character of
the language of such cards. The court, and
of protection against libel. Postal cards
that have been split, written upon the inside
and then pasted together, are unmailable.
It is the duty of a postmaster to examine
postal cards to see that they contain no im-
proper matters, but he must not disclose the
contents. It is also the duty of a postmaster
to examine all matter other than such as may
be scaled against inspection, to see that it
contains no improper matter or such as may
be subject to a higher rate of postage, but
he should under no circumstances break the
seal of a package in order to examine it. It
is not the duty of postmasters to open pack-
ages of third or fourth class matter in the
presence of the person addressed. If a
package reaches ,a post ofiice sealed with a
stamp so that it cannot be, opened {without
breaking the stamp, the poatmaster should
not open it, but should rate it up with letter
postage and deliver it upon payment of the
same, unless the party addressed desires that
it should be held by the postmaster unopened,
until a request can be forwarded to the post-
master general for permission to remit the
extra charge upon the package being opened
by the person addressed and found not to
contain any matter rendering it subject‘to a
higher rate of postage than already paid.
There is no authority for withdrawing letters
from the mails at any other request than that
of the writer, or the legal guardian of the
writer when the latter is a' minor, or for any
cause, such as insanity, unless the writer is
under guardianship by order of a court of
competent jurisdiction. It is the postmaster
general who is authorized by law to deter-
mine the quality, form and size of postal
cards, and prescribe the rules and regulations
under which they may be sent in the] mails,
and it is not within the discretion of others
to change the card so adopted. Such change
of form or face will render the card unmail-
able. Only publishers and newsdealers have
the right to send publications at pound rates.
A sheriff cannot claim a. right to seize mat-
not the department is the proper source.
Tim Sheridan’s Game.
' (All the Year Round.)
One of . om’s droll adventures is retailed
by Theodore Hook in his own mannér in Gil-
bert Gurney:
“ He was staying at Lord Craven's at Ben-
ham or, rather Hamstead, and one day pro-
ceeded on a shooting excursion, like Haw-
thorne, with only his ‘ dog and his gun,” on
foot, and unattended by companion or keeper;
the sport was bad, the birds few and Ihy,and
he walked and walked in search of game,nn-
til, unconsciously he entered the domain of
some neighboring squire. A very short time
after be perceived advancing toward him at
the top of his speed,a jolly, comfortable gen-
tleman, followed by a servant, armed, as it
appeared, for conflict. Tom took up a posi-
tion, and waited the approach cf the enemy.
“ Hallo 1 you sir ” cried the squire, when
within half earshot; “ what are you doing
here, sir, eh i‘ "
“I’m shooting, sir," said Tom,
“ Do you know where you are, sir 1’ " said
the squire.
" I'm here, sir,” said Tom.
“ Here, sir?” said the squire growing
angry; “and do you know where ,here is,
sir l—these sir, are my manors; what d’ye
think of that, sir, ch? ”
" Why, air, as to your manners.” said Tom,
“I can’t say they seem over-agreeable."
"I don’t want any jokes, sir,” said the
squire; “ I hate jokes. Who are you, sir?
-—what are you?”
“ Why, sir,” said Tom, “ my name is
Sheridan—I am staying at Lord Craven’s—
I have come out for some sport—J have not
had any, and I am not aware that I am tres-
passing.”
“ Sheridan 1 ” said the squire, cooling a lit-
tle; “ oh! from Lord Craven’s eh? Well,sir,
I could not know that, sir—I—"
“ No, sir,” said Tom, “ but you need not
have been in a passion.”
“Not in a passion, Mr. Sheridan 1 ” said
the squire; “ you don’t know, sir, what these
preserves ,have cost me, and the pains and
trouble I have been at with them; its all
very well for you to talk, but if you were in
my place, I should like to know what you
would say on such an occasion.”
“ Why, sir,” said Tom. “if I were in your
place, under the circumstances, I should say,
‘ I am convinced, Mr. Sheridan, you did not
mean to annoy me, and as you look a good
deal tired, perhaps you’ll come up to my
house and take some refreshment.’ ”
The squire was hit by this nonchalance,
and, it is needless to add, acted upon Sheri-
dan’s suggestion.
So far,” said poor Tom, “ the story tells
for me, now you shall bear the sequel."
After having regaled himself at the squire’s
house, and having said five hundred more
good things than be swallowed, delighted his
host, and having half won the hearts of his
wife and daughters, the sportsman proceeded
on his return homew‘ard. In the course of
his walk he passed through a farm yard; in
the front of the farm house was a green, in
the center of which was a pond. On the
pond were ducks innumerable swimming and
diving; on its verdant banks a motley group
of gallant cocks and pert partlets, picking
and feeding—the farmer was leaning over
the hatch of the barn, which stood near two
cottages _on the side of the green. Tom
hated to go back with an empty bag; and,
having failed in his attempts at. higher game,
it struck him as a good joke to ridicule the
exploits of the day himself, in order to pre-
vent anyone else from doing it for him ; and
he thought to carry home a certain number
of the domestic inhabitants of the pond and
its vicinity, would serve the purpose admir-
ably. Accordingly,up he goes to the farmer,
and accosts him very civilly. “ My good
friend,” said Tom, “I make you an offer.”
“ Offer sur ? ” says the farmer.
“ Why,” replied Tom, “ I’ve been out all
day fogging after birds, and havn’t had a
shot. Now, both my barrels are loaded—I
should like to take home something; what
shall I give you to let me have a shot with
each barrel at those ducks and fowls—I
standing here-and to have whatever I kill?”
“ What-sort of a shot are you?” said the
farmer. °
“ Fairieh! ” said Tom, “ fairish ! ”
“And to have all you kill ?" said the
farmer, “eh ? ’I
“ Exactly so,” said Tom.
“Half a guinea,” said the farmer.
“ That’s too much,” said Tom. “ I’ll tell
you what I’ll do—I’ll give you a seven shil-
ling piece, which happens to be all the money
I have in my pocket.”
“ Well,” said the man, “ hand it over. ,’
The payment was made. Tom, true to his
bargain, took his post by the barn door, and
let fly with one barrel, and then with the
other, and such quacking and splashing, and
screaming and fluttering, had never been seen
in that place before.
Away ran Tom, and, delighted at his suc-
cess, picked up first a hen, then a chicken,
then fished out a dying duck or two, and so
on, until he numbered eight head of domes-
tic game, with which his bag was nobly dis-
tended.
“ Those were right good shots, sur,” said
the farmer.
“ Yes,” said Tom, “ eight ducks and fowls
were more than you bargained for, old fel-
low—worth rather more, I suspect, than
seven shillings—eh? ”
‘- Why, yes," said the man, scratching his
head, “ I think they be ; but what do I care
for that? they are none of them mine 1”
“ Here,” said Tom, “ I was for once in my
nre beaten, and made off as fast as I could,
for fear the right owner of my game might
make his appearance—not but that I could
have given the fellow that took me in seven
times as much as 1 did, for his cunning and
coolness.” .

The Village stone Crusher.
Rutland News.
The stone crusher has begun its work and
our people will soon have an opportunity to
judge from practical experience as to the
expediency of its purchase. That it does its ,
work effectively there is no doubt; and that
its work can be applied profitably to the per-
manent improvement of our streets there
can hardly be less certainty.
Tire crusher, with Water motor that furn-
ishes the power, is housed in a building erect
ed for the purpose near the corner of Wash-
ington and Wales streets, near the Town
hall. The stone crusher is Blake’s improved
manufactured at Ansonia, Conn. The water
motor is Turck’s. The entire cost of crusher,
motor and building was about $1,300. A
motor of another make was tried but it prov-
ed inadequate in power and had to be taken
out. _
The crusher is a small and common-place
affair when at rest, but small as it is no stone
smaller at will.

Sunday in Washington.
A Washington Sabbath now is more quiet
and orderly than even in the largest New Eng-
land towns. All public buildings are closed,
and the public business is wholly suspended.
Stores, barber shops and drinking saloons are
closed. Cigar and periodical stands are only
open to a limited extent. Hotel bars, as well
as all others, are closed, though a few of all
classes are accessible. A crowd about the
front of any one, or any signs of disorder
near one, would result in preventing even in-
direct access. Hacks do » not stand in the
streets. A theatrical performance would be
an impossibility, to say nything of tolerating
variety shows or dance houses. In short, so
far as possible, there is complete outward re-
spect to the Sabbath in the administration of
the national and the municipal governments,
and this occasions no complaints. It is re-
spected, and the condition of affairs and re-
straints are accepted without opposition by
all classes of citizens. A very small police
force answers every purpose of enforcing
the Sunday laws. In fact, so small is this
force that it may almost be said that these
laws are enforced without municipal over-
sight. They are not denounced as irksome
by any class of citizens, and no contest over
them would stand the slightest show of suc-
cess against the united healthful sentiment
of the majority of all classes, without re-
spect to party or nationality, and in speaking
of this outward respect for the Sabbath let
no one conclude that it is all surface show.
There is no city in the land where there is
more general attendance upon religious wor-
ship. lt is a respectable thing to attend
church on the Sabbath in Washington. The
congregations are large, and the churches
well sustained. Public men attend in large
numbers. The most prominent of govern-
ment and of Congress, without regard to
party, are to be found in the churches on
Sunday morning. The idea that a nation
owes allegiance to God seems to have always
had aresting place in the minds of public
men here, and the large proportion of them
have always paid at least the outward respect
to religion to which such sentiment of neces-
sity gives rise. ,
The Sabbath order can not mainly be attri-
buted to the absence of a foreign population.
This element is over 17,000, or one in nine of
the population. But this foreign population
is as orderly and as respectful to Sabbath re-
strictions as the native citizens—Washington

Favorite Wigs.
The favorite wig of John Wilkes Booth,
President Lincoln’s'asassin, was made of the}
hair of his sweetheart, a ,Miss Becket, of
Richmond, V.. She died of typhoid fever,
but her head wes shorn before death and
her lover had the beautiful light brown hair
woven into a wig. Clara Morris has a black
wig that cost $120, and Rose Coghlan is
happy in the possession of a light blonded
and an auburn wig, each of which cost over
$100. When Ben De Bar died he left over
160 wigs, of all kinds. Edwin Forrest had a
splendid stock of wigs and, scores of pages
of the old books of Buch’s‘ business are cov-
ered with orders of the great tragedian. His
last order was for a $35 dark Roman wig in
1805, a few months before he made his first
visit to San Francisco. W. E. Sheridan has
over $1,000 invested ' in wigs, and John
Gilbert has more than double that amount
invested in the same way. Charles Fechter
was a great admirer of beautiful, wigs and
the gray he wore at the “Count of Monte
Ohristo” will be remembered by all who ever
saw it. This wig {cost $140 and was pro-
nounced the most perfect of work of the
kind ever done in this country—Philadelphia

Not unto every heart is God’s good gift
Of simple tenderness allowed ; we meet
With love in many fashions when we lift
First to our lip’s waters, bittersweet.
Love comes upon us with resistless power
Of curbless passion, and with headstrong
Will;
It plays around like April’s breeze and show-
or,
Or calmly flows, 9. rapid stream, and still
It comes Willi blessedness unto the heart
That Welcomes it aright, or—bitter fate !—
It wrings the bosom with so fierce a smart.
That love, we cry, is crueler than hate.
And then, ah me! when love has ceased to
bless,
Our broken hearts cry out of tenderness!
C
We long for tenderness like that which hung
About us, lying on our mother’s breast ;
A selfless feeling, that no pen or tongue
Can praise aright, since silence sings it
IJCSI’. ;
A love, as far removed from passion’s
heat I
As from the chillness of its dying fire :
A love to lean on when the failing feet
Begin to letter, and the eyes to tire.
In youth’s brief hey-day hottest love we seek
The rcddert rose we grasp,—but when it
dies,
God grant that later blossoms, violets meek
May spring for us beneath life’s autumn,
skies!
God grant some loving one be near to bless
Our weary way with simple tenderness!

Poor Llsettc.
CELIA TITAXTER.
Sadly the quails in the cornland pipe,
The yellow harvest is bending ripe;
Gayl y the children each other greet,
Wandering down through the village street.
By the garden gate leans poor Lisette;
“Her lover," they whisper “comes not yet ”
She looks afar to the edge of the sky,
Where blue and misty the mountains lie.
What sudden echoes of fife and drum
Down the long, dim, winding valley come?
0 bring they news for poor Lisette—
Rapture at last or a life‘s regret?
High ring the bugle notes, so sweet;
Nearer the rhythmic tramp of feet;
What tempest rushes to clasp Lisette.
With lips so warm and with eyes so wet ?
She is safe in her lover’s arms at last;
Like a dreary dream is the empty past;
The music of joy in her glad heart play
And morning glows in her radiant face.
While clearly the quails in the cornfield pipe,
And silent the harvest is heading ripe,
And the children shout to the fife and drum,
That pain is over and peace has come.
A Grim Advertisement.
Last week there appeared on the bulletin
of the Union-Argus a sign reading “Boy
wanted to feed a cylinder press.” This un-
blushing indication of a dismal demand ex-
cited anything but enthusiasm in the mind of
the urchins who infest the publication locali-
ty of Brooklyn, and the hocdlums regarded
the banner- with feelings close aiken to a
mournful suspicion.
“I s’posc dey trow dc boy in one end and
dc paper comes out de other, suggested a
rising Democrat, as be spelled out the leg-
end.
“You bet!” asserted another disseminator
of intellig ”And when dey double deir
circulation dey’ll want another boy.”
This prophesy was received with manifes-
tations of grief by the assembled artisans of
literature.
“I ;don’t see why dey don’t take girls,”
objected a third. “Dey got more rags, and
deir bones isn’t liable fer ter break‘ de press,
’cause dey are softer," an anatomical sugges-
tion to which the attention of proprietors of
presses with carnivorous instincts is respect-
fully solicited. “Besides dat, girls come
cheaper, ’cause dere's more of ’em.”
“I guess I’d only be good for one supple-
ment urged a one-legged boy.
"I’d take the place,” said a pale youngster,
evidently out of luck, "but I‘d be sure to
come out in the tax list which nobody reads.
Everything goes against me.”
“Wouldn’t it be funny to see Denny
Murphy coming out as one of Talmage’s
sermons ?” asked a red-haired boy. “He is a
Cat'olic.” ‘
This conceit had a tendency to lighten the
gloom which deepened again as one solemn-
ly declared that there was no money in the
situation.
“Why not P” inquired a sore-eyed boy.
“ ’Cause yer don’t git payed off till do end
of the week and then where are yer '1’” '
The financial problem was a damper.
“What became of the last boy they had?”
asked an anxious inquirer, distinguished
from the rest by the possession of two sus-
penders.
“I ,tink I seen him in the editorial about
some kind 0’ politics,” replied another.
“Leastways itllooked like him and sounded
like his uoice. He stuttered didn’t he.”
The fate of the “last boy" was very de-
pressing and the youngsters moved away still
eyeing the sign over their shoulders as though
it possessed some fatal fascination.
Now, the fact is, gentler reader, our es-
teemed contemporary only wanted a boy to
feed in the sheets, and not fall in himself
and be ground up into grim locals or thunder
breeding editorials. He was in demand as a
skillful workman, and not as material for
moving the intellectual world.

The True Wife.
Oftcntimes I have seen a tall ship glide by
against the tide as if drawn by some invisible
bow-line, with a hundred strong arms pull-
ing it. Her sails unfilled, her streamers were
drooping, she had neither side-wheel nor
stern-wheel; still she moved on stately, in
serene triumph, as with her own life. But
I knew that on the other side of the ship,
hidden beneath the great bulk that swam so
rnajestically.there was a little toilso'ne steam
tug, with heart of fire and arms of iron, that
was tugging it bravely on ; and I knew if the
little steam-tug untwined her arm, and left
the ship, it would wallow and roll about and
drift hither and thither, and go off with the
refiuent tide, no man knows whither. And
so I have known more than one genius, high-
deckcd, full-freighted, idle-sailed, gay-pen-
noned, but that for the bare, toiling arms and
brave, warm-beating heart of the faithful lit-
tle wife that nestles close to’him, so that no
wind or wave. could part them, he would
have gone down with the stream, and been
heard of no more—Oliver Wendell Holmes.
