'midi° my wife on her bridal morn: .1-ege're walking now, 'mid the roses; -But eferes never a rose without a thorn, Though hid 'math the sweeW it reposes ; WS may sometime walk where so flowery blow— We may see, dark clouds with their grief o'er - now. "Not always will sunshine illumine our way, For life is not made up of pleaeures ; In the darkness and damprioes deep down from the day Lie buried the choicest et tresteures ; We must strive, we must dig, through tke sun- shine or rain, If to greatness or honor we wish to attain. We are sipping the sweets of the nectar of life, Rut there's bitterness hid in the chalice; Each heart has its sorrow, its envy, its strife, In the hovel, the cottage, the palace; Each day brings its labors; let each setting sun Rear witness our duties are faithfully done. Sor I said to my wife on our bridal morn, ‘'We'll walk while we may mid the roses, Norseek to discover the poieonous then n Which 'neath al' the swoets now reposes; But by -knowledge fore -earned we will strive to be armed For the conflict of life, so we may not be harmed."

Then walk to a certain distance, plucking the bird as you go. Your walk finished return to me. ' The woman did as directed and re- turned, anxious to know the meaniag of so singular an injunction. You have been very faithful to the first part of my orders," said Philip. "New do the second part, and you- will be cured: Retrace your stepe, pass throngh all the places you neve tra- eersed, and gather up, one by. one, all the feathers you have scattered." s"But," said the woman, "I scattered the feathers cardeesly away, and the wind curled them in all directions." Well, my child," replied Philip, so it is with your words of slander, like the 'feathers which the wind has scattered, they have been wafted in many directions. Call them back now if you can. Go and sin no more:" • "Mendacious Duplicity." “This is my wife, sergeant," said a citizen, as he entered the Woodbridge street station the other day, with- a elm man on his arm. Sergeant Rendal, not haviug his hat on, gave her the military salute, and she slightly inclined her head in re- sponse. "Sergeant," continued the man, was arrested, last night The _papers say I was in the company of a female on the street. end that wh were both drunk and euareeang. I have told my wife just how it was, but she won't be- lieve me. 1 new want you to tell her the exact facts." The husband drew down his right eye to the efficial. The sergeant coughed and hitched about for a moment._ and then said: Madam, it is a terrible thing to sus - pest your husband of mendacious du- plicity and contumacious deception." "I don't care if it is i" she replied. "I'm bound to know just how this affair Occurred." " Very well, madam. As the court understood the case your husband was on his way home. he sees the patrol - wagon drive up to a saloon. He pro- tests against the way the officers handle a prisoner, and is pulled in as an ob- structionist. He was tried at the same time as the man who quarreled with the woman. All the reporters here that Morning were drunk, and so it comes about that the names were mixed. Go home, madam, and be happy." "Are you sure that was the way ?" "Dead sure, madame. Further than that, All the printers were on a spree that day, too, and can you wonder that they got John Green mixed with John White?" " Now does that satisfy you ?" asked the husband. " Y -e -s ; but, seargeant, what became of the woman in the ease ?" "Taken home, madam—taken back to the bosom of her family by tender official hands. She was a somnambu- list, you see, and had escaped frank the house in her sleep." "Well, that convinces me, and I'll kiss and make up," she said as she gave her husband a smack, "but if you cody told me that you. and the judge were also drunk my mind would be entirely easy."—Detroit Free Press. 1 ing, and we'll lower him away in good shape and. kiver him in. Mind, now— no monkey -work on us !" The divine looked a little Vintle around the gills, but he seemed to • tall in with .the idea, aad was on hand at the ap- pointed hour. It was a half -holiday with our shift, and we were there to a man. The general bossing of the fu- neral was it to Big Pete, and things went like clockwork. He soothed tlie widder, arranged the mourners, packed the audience, and had the coffin shored up in the safest manner. I never saw an opening performances pass off more smoothly, At the proper time the divine took hold. Pete had forgot to coach him about the hymns, and he gave out one about a beautiful other shpre or some- thing. He started to sing but .he was all alone in it. We'd never heard tune or words. He wobbled along to the end of the first verse and then his steam gin out. Pete, he steps to the front and says: " Boys, we'll have to hook on to 'The Miner's Sad Fate,' and pull her thrOugh. Now,•then, all sing " : "A miner was away down below, And was working so busy—heigho ho! When the fire -damp accumulated, And there was an explosion, And the poor miner was out. Rageously killed—heigh ho !" There were seven or eight other verses, and we hadn't got half through befor the widder looked up and gave us a nod, which showed that her heart was with us. Uncle George. HE WAS PLANTED IN SHIP-SHAPE AND PROPER MANNER. 'didn't know nothing about any ac- cident until a miner named Big Pete comes into my drift and calls out to "Ili, there hat Uncle George has been killed by a lump 1 We must take the body to the shaft, and go up with it Sure enough, the old man was dead. _ Something like a to of coal had hroke out of the roof and fallen upon; him. Death wasn't a rare thing with us down there, but the sudden taking off of Ua- ele George brought sadness to our hearts. We knew him for a big-seuled, good-natured naan, and we knew his wife as a woman who ever spoke , kindly of all, and was ever ready at the bed - aide of the sick or dying. It was a hlow to crush her heart. Wen, we got the body above greund and sent it home, and by-and-by, when the funeral business began to be talked up, a lot of us yeamg fellows dethrmin- ed that Uncle George should be laid aira.y Iike a white man and a Chrietian. thsr ordinary funerals meant nolthing more than a prayer, and a liymn, nd a quick trip to the graveyard. _ We sent into Scranton -and goi a di- 1- hie- They called him a divine, b it he was inthing but a preacher. Ile keem- v(j dapper and triffine to ste a ) Big Pete thought beet to take him aeide and say "Now, parson, no tomfoolery im this business, you know Uncle Gorge wa,s a pod man, and you want to ay it en thick. We want some singing then a eulogy or something about that size ; then shnore singing: then we'll all take a lock at the kind old face; then carry the coffin out and start for the graveyard. When we git there we want s'more singing, a little more pray - Well, the eulogy was to come on-, but the divine he seemed sort o' rattled. He began talking about the King of Terrors, uncertainty of 'life, and the value of being prepared beforehand, when Big Pete went over end stopped him, and whispered in his ear. The divine seemed to object, and he went on about how Adam :Anna, And the harps of heaven, and angels coming down to carry babies off from this sinful world. By and by Pete stops him, pushes him into a chair, and says: " Boys, Uncle George is lying right here in this 'ere twenty dollar coffin. He never wronged man, woman' or child. The Lord has took him, andif he isn't playin' a harp in heaven at this very mita, then I can lick any man who dis- putes it." "Here's the widder," he went on; "she'. got a heart as tbig as a dinner pail, and nobody kin- say a word against her. She can't go to- heaven and play on a harp till the Lord directs. Mean- while she's got to live and wear oat lothes. I'm with her for five dollars down !" " Sohn I 1," " Sohn I !" . And the words went around and the money came until the purse run up to nigh a hundred dollars. Then we sung "The WI lder's Dream," gazed for the last ante on the face of Uncle George, and got him in a waggon out -doors in good shape. When we started for the graveyard the divine skipped for the depot, seeminrth be all flattened out, but it was no loss to us. ; At the grave we j'ined in singin' "The Father's Underground," and as the coffin was lowered away, Big Pete sprinkles some earth upon it and eays "The airth gin himi- to us, and the airth takes her own. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, mad if I ketch anybody slurrin' his memory there'll be an explo- sion on -the fourth level which wilhbust heads and break ribs !" And that's the way we took that job out of the hands of a regular -built di- vine and planted Uncle George in ship shape and proper manner. We wasn't goinh to have any highfalutin' Elam - doodle business over him. He wouldn't have laid quiet in hie grave.—New York Sun. The Sewing Circle's Noble Work. Hobbse-I do envy you ladies the pleasure of the sewing circle. Just think, too, of the vast good accom- plished by your nimble fingers for the poor. Mrs. Fogg—Yes, we are all so in- terested in the work. I don't believe you could keep any of us away from the meetings: Hobbs—What is the result of the ses- sions of the winter, so far ? Mrs. Fogg—Well, we've decided that the, minister's wife is a lazy, good-for- nothing woman; that unless young Springs proposes to Miss Brown soon, old Brown will be justified in using stern measures; that Mrs. Bangle is a deceitful woman in -telling around that her bonnet cost $25 when it didn't cost any such money, for Mrs. Ham bought one almost as good for $5 ; that Miss Barnes is the homeliest woman in town; and a few other things of minor import- ance, Then, -besides this, we've about resolved to devote two weeks of next winter to sewing for the poor of the vil- lage.—Tiel-Bine • Characteristics of People Who Daily Send or Receive Wired Messages. One of the busiest places in this city, says the Denver Tribune -Republican, is the office of the Western Union Tele- graph company. Its visitors during the day are many, and from morning until midnight the throng continues to come and go, and the street door opens and closes with a lively clatter • every few minutes. They come in all styles, the old, the young,- and middle aged. They come in garments of wealth, in the rags of poverty, and hi the seediness of hard luck, which soon may change. Faces Pale with sadness, furrowed with care, bright with anticipation, or facliant with happiness ; all go through the not overwide portal, and all upon the same sort of errand, either to get or send away -messages. Hope and despair jostle with careless- ness and selfish joy, and each seldom notes the other. Often tlie face which Comes smiling goes away dark with trouble, and many times the dull look begotten of hope deferred, becomes transformed, and. the owner goes away with buoyant step and a peace which. has not been experienced for a -long time, A glance around the office will give the student of human nature a good chance to guess at what is being written by those who prepare , their messages right on the spot, and. the manner of the writers will often :show something of the character and business habits of them. A commercial drummer will run into a telegraph office, slamming the door and making the papers flutter all over 1 the place. He will push his way to the desk, seize a blank, dive a pen into the ink, and write a message In just thirty seconds. Before he begins he will,push his hat high on hie 'brow, and turn his head to one side. Then he will stride up to the desk and looking familarly at the clerk, will push the dispatch and a big -silver dollar to-. ward that functionary, remarking: "Send that away d quick !" A man who, has not been accustomed to sending telegrams will 'take wore time about it, sometimetaking as much time about it as it Would take a book-keeper to balance a cash account. He will care- fully count the Avoids, and study' and re -study the message in order to decide that he hasn't got too many words, and to be sure that the message will be clear- ly understood. Ladies generally write their messages at home and then take them carefully folded to the office, where they will ask many questions. They will want -to know how much the dispatch is going to cost, and then if the address and sig nature is to be included in the cost of the transmission. Then they will ,want to know how soon it will reach its iiesti- nation. Then they will carefully lay down their parasols or satchels and count out thesprice for the message, and when the cash is about half coi!inted they will stop to look 'around and smile at whoever is standing b hind them the waiting for a chance th t lk wit clerk. 1 Finally, when the money is pal the clerk has been carefully ma promise to send the message im ately, they will then gather up property and depart. After the out upon the sidewalk they will quently return to ask the clerk if read the dispatch, as they wrote it hurriedly. When a lady happe write the message in the office, tin cess is doubled, as a similar style o formance is carried_ on at the where they will want lots of room. Of those who enter or send aw announcement of a death to rel far away, their manner is always. and a new father coming in to le grandparents know that a baby h rived, will go in Smiling all ove face. Not unfrequently the send go to the extra expense of a dim to add a sentence which is inten a joke. People sending for remittances ener- ally look anxious, and not infreq ently write with a rush, and spread the ink on thick and black, as though to thus express the exigency which comPelled the sending of a telegraphic message for funds. And so they go. Unconscious panto- minaists, all of them making, -without knowing it, a mimic, sketchy picture of - the lights and shadows, the fleeting joys or the sudden and more lasting :griefs which go to make up the dream called. life. ' and e to edi- their get - f re - e can quite s to pro- per - desk, lbow y the fives, u iet, the s ar- h is ✓ will Or 80 ed as Gladstone as Seen in tile House. London Letter to Boston Herald. Even physically, Mr. Gladstone is the most striking personagain the Honse of Commons; and fixes at once the atten- tion of the most careless observler. I need not describe a man whose physical features are so widely known, not pnly in England, but doubtless also in Ameri- ca. But I may briefly say that, with his deeply -lined face, his still keen and . piercing eyes and his habitual dress, which is now, in the House of Commcins, not- only quaint, but peculiar ----black frock coat, a vest that opens low.down and displays an ample expanse of shirt front, a high standing collar with a black cravat carelessly knotted—no One could take him for an ordinary member of Parliament, even if he sat in the most obscure part of the chamber. Mr.,Glad- stone customarily sits in the centre of the Ministerial front bench, to which he betakes himself, • generally spooling, after the other Ministers (who are all bound to be at hand agt 4.30 p. m. to answer questions) have arrived, and when he does come on the scene of his many triumphs and numberless conflicts, it is no exaggeration to say that he con- centrates osa himself the eyes of the whole assembly, both on the floor and in the galleries. The old man looks at times as if he had not many months to live. Nay, Sometimes he looks as if he were actually dead. When he lays his head on the back of his seat and cleses his eyes'as he not seldom does, the color of his face is that of a corpse, and his eyelids seem fixed forever. But his appearance at such a moment is extreme- ly deceptive. At such times there is not another man -in the house, old or young, who is so absolutely wicleawake as this old gentleman of 75 years of age. Let but the speaker, to whom he seems to pay no attention, but whose every word he in reality takes in, make a sin- gle statement which interests him, or which calla for audible or visible assent or contradiction, and at once the appar- ently dead person wakes up with a bound, leans forward and put his 'hand to his ear, or nods or shakes his head, or starts to his feet with a correction, or a retort which overwhelms and crushes the assailant. Another curious thing about Mr. Gladstone I have noticed within the last few days. If there is a serious man in the world it is he, and his face has not a trace of humor in it; yet he not only makes the House -laugh at will—generally to confu se an oppon- ent—but he himself laughs heartily, and almost like a child, when, for instance, after a vietorieus division he has put the enemy to rout; • Ready Excuse. A gentleman, accompanied by a favor- ite dog, visited. the studio of a rising artist, There Was a picture on the easel, and the dog began to bark furi- ously at it. 1" Nature may be relied upon, after all," said the gentleman. "The best evidence Of the faithfulness with ivhich you have painted that dog in the , background is the earnestness with which my dog barks at him." " But that isn't a dog," said the artist; "it's a cow.- The. gentleman was non- plussed for a moment, hilt he quickly replied ; " Weli, the dog's eyes are better than mitn-2 ; he never did like cows." —The Reporter Says : On 'Friday night last a valuable stock train, des- tined for Calgary, Northwest Territory, passed through Galt on the Canadian Pacific Railway, and was valued at up- wards of $12,000.

The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers and pedltirs giving assumed and fancy names to ordinary glass, speaks for the ignorance of the public generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two articles from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., Pebble and Glass: Call glass by anyother name it still remains glen. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, fouTid generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stone, cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately over the centre of the grain found in all pebble. It will give to the spectacle wearer a coolness, freshness and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart. All Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped B. L.
