Of !young* volunteers there was more than

To fill up the renles of his service.
But, time, passing by, made (neer to the man

So he offered to Love his jewels and coin:
Forgetting his age, he thought he would.join
The throng who pressed to Love's Service.
But Love answered lightly, "The day has gone

A sere antumn leaf if too old and too dry
For a garland worn in my Service.

.Ali ARTIST'S LOVE.
p AUL Morton, the artist, gazed
long and lovingly at the picture
before him. It was almost finished

a painter's art. A young girl
smiled forth at him from the
a bewitching hat, with many
plumes. She was indeed a regal princess,
and this poor fellow worshipped at her
shrine.
Many a bitter cold night he had stood be-
fore her home waiting to catch a glimpse of
her fair face and forin, only to see her hur-
riedly enter her carriage and drive away to
some opera, or ball. Then he would go back
to his attic home and work again, but her
lovely face came before him continually,
and as he could not Wallah it . from his
thoughts he decided to paint her as he had
seen her going to the bell. "You are but a
voiceless shadow," he said to himself. "It
was idle to try and retain your image.
What paintercould portray your expression,
your bine eyes and lovely golden hair ? Yet
your Melees lips cannot tell me I have been
too bold. Alt! 'tie well you do nob know
the care and grief 1 have to bear—'tis well
you cannot suffer and feel as I do now." He
• bent his head ia sorrow, and still the heart-
• less face spilled. on. The next morning as
Elba Lea sat in her room the maid came in
and announced there was a box below ad-
dressed to her mistress.
"It looks like a picture, Miss Lea."
"Hurry and bring it up, for I am so anx-
ious to see it."
The maid soon came back with it, and to-
gether they tmpacked the picture. As the
last paper came off they both started back
in surprise.
"Sure, it's youreelf," said the astonished
maid.
" Why, so it is, Mary. Do I look like
that 7" answered her mistress, as she gazed
in rapture at the beautiful face before her.
" Inhed you do, and it's done wall, too.
It's just the picture of you, Miss Lea."
" Why, yes, of course it is," laughed the
original.
"Place it there on the easel, Mary, and
order the carriage. I must go right down
town and thenk father."
Mise Lea put on her hat and, with one
last glance at the picture, wenb down stairs.
When the carriage was announced, she
noticed the horses looked strange.
Are they the new teara, jamas?" she
— t
asked.
He touched his hat and answered : "Yes,
ma'am."
They were almost down town, when a
newspaper blew up in front of the horses,
and they plunged forward, throwing the
coachman from his seat, and leaving Ellen
Lea to gaze frantically about in despair.
Suddenly a young man dashed from one of
the doorways and stopped the horses. He
held them until Miss Lea had got out ; then
the animals kicked him aside and continued
their mad career. Over and over in the
street he rolled, with blood streaming from
his forehead. A crowd gathered. Someone
proposed the hospital, but the coachman,
coming up, informed them that he was to
be taken to Col. Leee house, and so it hap-
pened, when Paul Morton opened his eyes,
after many days of delirium, he saw the
lovely faCe of Ellen Lea bending over him.
" Now " she said, in a modulated voice,
"the dot:tor told me I could tell you all
about your illness, but you must not utter
one word, for you know you have been very

almost burn you up. You talked about

• expression of the sick man. His face turned
deathly pale and he sunk back upon the pil-
low in a faint.
"Oh! what have I done ?" she cried and
hastily ran for some wine, which he held
tremblingly to hie lips. She raised hie

There was a wealthy man who had a
favorite nephew, but this little fellow was
very fond ef painting trees ancl birds, and
would not Study his books, which displeased
his uncle exceedingly. When thie boy had
grown up to manhood the fellow announced
one morning to his uncle that he Was going
to be an artist and he was speedily dis-
owned ; so he packed his belongings and left
home. I will not tell you the struggles
he had, bat suffice it to say that they
were very hard, and with all this he
fell in love. He had seen this face but
onoe, aud yet he °odd not get it out of his
heart: or mind. Night after night he waited
in the cold before her home to catch one
glimpse of her lovely face. He painted her

taken such m liberby, lissent it to his loved

"Eamegh 1" she cried. "Do not go on;

He took leer face bobween his hands and

Deadening Nature of Debt.; "s""fli
The deadening nature of debt has -beeu
ehowa time and again in the coal regions of
Eastern Panneylvania, where a miner some-
times works for ten years without receiving
any cash payment, because some disaster
has brought him in debb to the company
store. Mine owner and miner share alike
the finaucial rieks of mining, and it some-
times happens that an accident will place
beyond the miner's reach thoimands of tons
of coal whioh he has out with mouths of
labor, but for which he could not dra.w full
pay until it had been delivered at the
breaker. While he was thus busied he
lived upon credit at the company's store'
and the disaster left him deeply in debit.
The effect upon many men has been to
make them ubterly indifferent to their
future, and at least one mine owner, recog-
nizing the evil results of such conditions,
makes it a rule to discharge a miner who is
hopelessly in debt. The discharge clears
his score, and many men thus relieved of
their burdens deparb from the cool regions
with thole little belongings to begin anew
elsewhere, armed with the courage that
hope alone can give.

I saw a street oar run down a boy arid
transform him from a mocking urchin into
a mystery greater than the marvel of the
eters, within the space of one long -drawn,
flattering bree.bh. I saw a patrol waggon
dash up to the curbstone to bear away an
evil women, who cursed God and defiled the
fair name of purity in the delirium of her
whiskey -fed wrath. I saw • a policeman
leading a little golden -headed waif, who
sobbed for his lost mamma as a forsaken
lamb bleats for the fold. I saw a sboop-
shouldered, haggard man, with death in the
gleam of hie sunken eye and in the orkason
fold of his tightly -drawn lip, enter a popular
resbauranb and whieper a prayer for food. I
saw tlae robund proprietor push hien outside
of the doorway, while nobody said a word
for sweeb charity's salce nor lifted a hand in
protest. I saw an old man with hair as
white as the froth of a billow laugh at an
obscene word an abandoned womsati:fiting
out upon the startled air. I saw a woman
gowned like a tulip and jeweled like a rose
at dawn moll out her hand to help a weary
wayfarer over a oroesing. I saw a candy
shop, rich with modern, confections. I saw
creamy bon -bans that held the diaorders of
many ailmenta, and luscious drops filled to
the brim with honeyed poison. I saw
stimulating drinks of charged waters more
unwholesome than suds and so corroding to
the stommoh that a few drops spilled upon
the tissues will eat them like fire. I saw
all these, bub I looked be vain for the old-
fashioned taffy of my childhood and the
highly -flavored " bun -eyes "we used to
roll beneath our joyful tongues in those
happy days before French oonfecbions
usurped the sway of old-fashioned sugar-
plums. I saw a man beating &patient horse
unbil I fairly prayed with all my soul that
heaven might snuff out his cruel, worthless
life, as housemaids extinguish a smoky hemp.
I saw a losb dog overcome at last with the
sense of his sudden desolation. I saw the,
look in hie faithful eye that musb appeal to
any heart nob made of stone. and I saw him
vanieh in the erowd at last, like one over-
whelmed by a flood he could no longer m-
oist. I saw a shabbily -dressed man with
Italy in his homesick eyes pick up a mag-
nolia flower from off the street and hide it
in hie ragged breast. I saw a father (7) shrike
his little boy in the face for crying because
he was tired. I saw a pickpocket ran with
hie booty, and I also saw the policemanwho
overtook him and handed him over to jus-
tice. I saav a lot of overfed men eating their
dinner, and I wondered where was theroom
for any growbh for brain or soul when the
etomaoh took ib all. I saw a little newsboy
resist the tempbretion to steal, and I felt a
mad desire to adopt him on the spot. I saw a
man who has lived long enough to know
that fire will bum and thorns rend
sneak into a seloon and kindle a conflagra-
tion inside of • him with the deviPs
kindling -wood. I saw a man whose gray
hairs should entitle him to respect follow a
eloped through the streets and seek to
intrude himself upon her notice with kers
and wiles that would have made Mephisto-
pheles blush. I saw a runaway team of
horses, and I saw the idiotic manner by
which the crowd accelerated their speed
and drove them mad with terror. I saw a
policeman fling himself into a perilotte place
te uave a hulking scamp of a man who never
thanked him for the service. I Flaw &crowd
of people constantly "coming and going,"
like the old svoraan's vision in the dreadful
days of the Commune. I saw a picture of
Psyche hanging in a store window so dainty
and sweet that I longed to buy ib for corn -
forth' sake to hang upon my shabby wall. I
saw a window full of roses and pansies that
set me thinking of times to come when
perhaps I shall wander into heaven and find
all the flowers I long for "without) money
and without price." I saw a bunch of wild
wood violets laeld out to me by a ohild'i
somewhat grimy hand, which I would not
barter for all you could give me of silver
and gold, provided the transaction did nob
include the love that prompted the violets.
I saw a robin alight on a plum tree that WAS
draped in the lace of its firet bloom, and
there was something about the robin and
the silver radiance of the opening dowers
together, that made me quite content to
wear my last yeaes hat and patched show.
I saw a woman elbow her way through a
crowd, and methought I would, simmer trust
to the courtesy of a steer than smile as she.
I oaw a sunset that would have made the
soul of Titian glad, and I saw a meteor flash
across the midnight eke, like a feather of
gold dropped from an Ethiopian's hand. I
saw more, but I am too tired to tell about
it. Some day goon we will talk in earned
abed what I saw at the World's big fair.

Tine Smallest Living Thing Illan's Greatest
Enemy.
The smallest liviug organism, and those
most to lm feared by man in his battle for
existence with the reeb of nature, are bombe -
ria, or mierobes, They have an average
dleineter of but one twenty-five thousandth
of an inoh, And a length from one to ten
times as great. The melted of them are,
however, =oh more minute than this ;
large numbers are only just vieible under
the highest powers of our best mieroecopes,
and there is no doubt that still more power-
ful instruments would reveal inulbitudes of
new forms. Two thousand iniorohes could
swim side by side througb the eye of a
needle, and. one could hold fifty millions of
millions in the hollow of one's hand.
It is largely due to their extreme minute-
ness that these organisms are so dangerous,
as they are able by reason of this to repro-
duce and multiply with an almost incredible
rapidity. Reproduction is a epeoies of
growth. In the lowest forms of life an
organistn growe till it has attained the nor-
tuai of its kind, then divides and be-
comes two individuals. Each of these
repeats the prowls, and this pee on ad
infird'
eum or as long as the food supply is
unexhausted ; for withoat food there oan
be no growth, and consequently no repro-
duction. The rapidity of reproduotion'or
the fertility is directly determined by the
amount of food present, and also by the
amount the or.ganiem is capable of
absorbing and earemilating. The greater
relative amount of nutriment ill can
take in, the greater will be its re-
produotive powers. A miorobe now
has, because of its extreme inbantenees, per-
haps the largest absorbing surface in pro.
porion to its mass of any organism. It is
enabled, consequently, to take in relatively
very large quantities of nutriment, anti can
grow and reproduoe with the most extra-
ordinary rapidiLy. An ordinare, microbe
will divide and beaome two every hour, or
in even less time, and if it and Ina descend -
ante were given an unlimited food supply so
that they could continue their divisions
without interruptions, in a day they would
number forty million individuals. Some
kinds have the properby of producing poison-
ous secretions which cause disease. When
a person becomes infected with some of
thine miorobes, it may be only a small num-
ber, their great fertility will soon clause
their number to be so increased that illness
and perhaps death may result.
Thanks to His Wife.

many in the June Ladies' Home Journal,
He is moab punctilious as to the details ef
his attire, but muele of the credit that he
rocelves for this is, in reality, due to his
wife, who looks after her husband's clothing
with an assiduiby that no valeb could equal.
She takes upon herself the sole charge of
her husband's linen, and she prefers to re-
place his buttotte and darn his soeke.

How Young GirLs Wear Their Hair.
Young girls are wearing their hair in one
Wavy braid down the back. Fortunate is
the young mademokelle whose hair will
reach to her waist, Itt the front it may be
parted in the middle and waved back to
the braid or capped in the old way, the
small braid from the front hair being
brought' down and woven in with the larger
braid.
The braid of hair is seen at its prettiest
when worn with the hats that have
clusters of flowers drooping at the back,
rod roses resting on a black braid, or a
handful of green oats falling off a
white • leoe hat upon a thiok braid of
blonde hair.
