When you owe It fellow money,
It is always kind of funny
How you'd just a little rather that you
didn't chance to meet.
0f course you mean to pay it,
And you know he wouldn't say it
If he even got to thinking yon a trifle
indiscreet.
You know he wouldn't bone you
For the temporary loan you,
Unthinkingly asserted you would very
rom tl •
But,promptly
hough cordially you greet him,
It is true you never meet him,
But you wonder if he's thinking of the
things be doesn't say.
Then you grasp his hand with ardor,
Though you grip it bard and harder,
You'll still be sadly conscious of a some-
thing in between,
Of n something intervening,
Of the whish you geese the meaning,
For you know it's but the spirit of the
cash ho hasn't soon.
WHO'S AFRAID IN THE DARK ?
"Not I I" said the owl,
And be gave a great soowl,
And he wiped his eye,
And fluffed bis jowl.
"Tu whoo 1"
•Said the dog, "I bark
Out loud in the dark,
01300.00 1"
Said the oat, "Mi.iew !
I'll soratoll any who
Dare say that I do
Feel afraid, "mi-iew 1"
"Afraid," said the mouse,
"Of the dark in a house ?
Here me spatter
Whatever's the matter,
"Squeak I"
Then the toad in his hole,
And the bug an the ground,
They both @book their heads
And passed the word round.
And the bird in the tree,
The fish and the bee, •
They declared all three,
That you never did see
one of "them" afraid
In the dark 1
But the little boy who had gond to bed
Just raised the bedclothes and ooverecl

VIII OLD GROCER'S STORY.

I was ready to wait on 'em when I'd
tinkered up the light,
Old, bent and gray—thie couple, was thie
good old man all' wife,
I reolcon they had tried the joys and
bitter sweets of life.
A tattered shawl of faded stripe was on
her shoulders oast,
One wrinkled hand did grip its folde to
hold 'em 01000 an' feet.
A rooby bonneb kissed the snow upon her
deer old head.
"We're ammo to buy a heap of things --
the best you've got," she said,
Her face was flail of wrinkles, and her
voice was kind of broke,
An' hien seemed to wrinkle when he
turned to her an' spoke :
'Now, mother, you just go ahead, an' get

A meseago boy came bountiful in a

An' wants to know why us two has rat

EASTER. 18 .18 OLD Fi;.15T.
Few people have any iclea that the
originals of the many -colored "eggs"
which are uow being distributed as East-
er gifts have probably descended to ns
from the greatest of the "Chinese Spring
Festivals," and can boast of an antiquity
of more than 700 years before the Chriet-
inn era.
So there appears to be no new thing
under the sun ; and, although the magic
eggs of to -clay are merely receptacles for
a nondssoript medley of bonbons and
bijoaterio, they are a survival of 005 of
the painted of Old World customs.
This praotioal method of disposing of
Easter eggs suggests that much of the
oeremooy connected with them is due to
the celebration of the Easter tenet, whish
su000eds the Lenten Past.
That an egg at Easter" is a very old
proverb in this ooeebry is sufGsiehtly
shown by the fact that the Pope sent
Henry VIOL an Easter egg in a silver
case ; while an exact schedule of the
personal expenses of Edward I. contains,
against Easter Sunday, the suggestive
item :—"Four hundred and a half eggs,
le. 3d." The pries is as noteworthy as
the number.
But the most remarkable feature of
the usage is its international character.
Thus in Russia it is oustomary to ex.
obauge visits and eggs on Easter day, and
"to drink a deaf of brandy."
Again, in Italy, dishes of eggs are sent
to the priests to be blessed, after which
they are carried home and platted in the
oentre of the table. It is the correct
thing for all the guests to est oneof them.
The ouetom also exists in Spain and
Germany and generally among the
Hebrews, Greeks and Persians in some
form or another.

Pekin, Nov. 20, 1800.
Dear Miss Josephine :

Remember the Sabbath Day.
A young lad, the only child of a widow,
came from a home of beauty and wealth
in the city to the rural towu in which I
lived, to spend the Summer, that he
might roam at pleasure over the green
flelde and hills, and receive health from
the fresh, invigorating air.
He was a sprightly, clever boy, and
won the heart of everyone that saw him.
lie was always in motion, running, hop-
ping, shouting and singing, mud hie power
of imitation was so rare that he could
mimic surprisingly the birds. lambs,
salves, and even lbs platter of the mill.
Indeed, every sound that he beard was
re echoed by him, and thus he passed the
time merrilyaway,
way.
I sane a year older, and of a graver turn
than ho, but I loved bim so well, though,
that I would have spent all my time with
him if I could.
One Sabbath morning—I shall never
forget Dane morning—I started out alone
for church, my mother being ill and my
father abroad. I walked briskly along
at first, for the bells were chiming and
the organ was pealing out solemnly on
the air ; but by and by I stopped to listen
to the birds that were singtng cheerily
among the trees. While I was listening
the cool west wind fanned my cheeks,
and I oast my eyes wistfully over the
green fields toward the river, and the
beautiful hills, and although a still, email
voice whispered, "Remember the Sab-
bath day," I yielded to temptation and
went astray.
But I did not go astray alone ; no, 1
mot with Fed Darley, the boy from the
pity, who was on his way to obureh, and
I persuaded him to go with me over the
green Gelds down to the river to spend
the hours of snored rest in quest of di•
version and pleasure,
Ned loved the river, so did I ; loved to
wander beside it, to skip stones over lb,
to watch the frogs, to oaten the fish, to
Wade and to swim in it. But we had not
come prepared to fish, and we soon grew
tired of skipping stones and watching the
frogs, so we went into the water. At first
we only waded hither and thither, plash-
ing the water gayly about, and singing
and shouting in the joy of our hearts.
But by and by Ned took to diving and
swimming and performing little fantastic
evolutions.
He moved about with such ease and
grace that it seemed as if the water must
be his native element ; but suddenly he
shrieked wildly, put his hand to his head
end sank beneath the wave. I was wild
with terror, and I cried out despairingly.
It was 411.1 could do, Alas, I mulct not
save him.
Many years have passed by aiuos then,
bot the boy drowned in the river haunts
me like a specter. Elis cry rings ever in
my ear, and I think ever with sorrow
that if I had remembered the Sabbath
day, poor Ned barley would be living
now, and bis mother would not have died
brokenhearted.
Oh, friends, when you are tempted to
withdraw your foot from bbe house of
worship and wander o11 in pursuit of
diversion and pleasure, think of my life-
long anguish and remorse, and remember
g the Sabbath day.
