If I Were You.
If I were you, I often say
_II those who seemed to need advice,
I'd always look before I leaped;
Fd always think it over twice.
And then Fd heave a troubled sigh—
For, after all, Fin only 1.
I'd ne"er discuss, if I were you,
The failings of my fellow -men;
Fd think of all their virtues first,
And seen my own shortcomings then,
But:though all this is good and true,
I am but I ; 1 s.m not you.
If I were you and half so vain,
Amidst my folly I would pause
Te see how dull and light a fool
I was myself. I don't, because—
(And here I heave a pitying sigh)
I am not you ; I'm only L
If I were you, no selfish care
Should chase m3 cheery smile away;
I'd scatter round me love and hope;
I'd do a kindness every day,
But here again I find it true
That I am I, and you are you, s
I wonld not be so very quick
To take offence, if I were you;.
I would respect myself, at least,
Whatever others say or do.
Alas ean no one tell me why
1 am not you, instead. of 1?
In short, if I were only you
And could forget that I was 1;
think that little cherub wings
Would sprout upon me by and by.

—A green one, who had crossed the
Atlantic, told a story of a storm, when
the rain poured down in such torrents

cannot afford to read trashy literatute,
even -for recreation. Spend all surplus
moments in the study of noted authors,
and not alone to cultivate style. The
society of cultivated people will also
prove beneficial.
To enlarge your vocabulary, look up
the definition of every unfamiliar wOrd
you may change upon in your reading.
Avoid exuberance in writing. Re-
member to be natural.
Have an object in your essay. Give
the reader fun, or information, or help
in some way ; especially something that
is alive.
Do not attempt too much in one arti-
cle. Never appear to preach. Be
practical, even commonplace. There is
very little demand for alltract or
flowery literature.
Finally, be brief. Condense, cut out
every superfluous word or sentence.—
Mona Farghar Purdy in The Writer.
Old Advice to New Writers,
Take for your motto: "Whoever can
think and speak well can also write
Make crisp, concise sentences. "Sim-
plicity.is the first charm of good style."
In rewriting cut out all the "fine"or
"flowery passages.
Use ahort, every -day words, if they
will clearly express your meaning. Do
not say: "She attempted to attract
the attention of an assembly of juven-
iles by the recital of a small collection of
anecdotes," when you mean that "She
tried to amuse the children by tell-
ing them stories."
Be careful of the arranging of your
sentences and the words in them, and
thus avoid ridiculous, and often serious,
mistakes. Do not say, for instance,
"Wanted, an experienced nurse to take
care of a child thirty or forty years of
age."
Cultivate the habit of writing as you
would talk. Call red "red," not
"ruby ;" speak of "the green fields,"
not the emerald fields."
How a Girl Outdid a Pawn -
Broker.
"1 feel awfully ashamed of it now,"
said a demure little brown -eyed woman
because the pasenman was real good to
me. It was this way:
"My friend Ada showed me a pend-
ant, a cirele of beautiful small white
diamonds about a ruby that glowed like
a flaming red heart. It had fire enough
to melt a rock. Ada said it was a shame
that the ruby was not genuine, because
it made the pendant of no value to her,
"'1 don't care,' said 1; it looks- so
much like a real stone that I do not be-
lieve any one could tell that it is bogus.
Why, see, there is even a little flaw in
it, just as you often find in rubies.' But
Ada said as it was not genuine the pend-
ant was of no value to her, unless she
had the diamonds set over.
"'Why not pawn it?" said I.
I couldn't,' said she. I'd be;
frightened to death. Besides, how do
you do it ?'
" Oh, just go in and ask him ho*
much he'll give on it,' said I, though I
had never been near a pawn shop. I was
in too deeply to expose my ignorance
now.
"'Would you dare do it?' said she.
‘" Certainly 1' I replied bravely.
"'Will you do it for me'dear?'
"'Now, that took my breath away.
To put my friend up to mischief was
one thing, but to be put up to it myself
was another. However, I could not ad-
mit I was afraid now.
" Ye -es,' I said, half-heartedly.
"'She made me start at once. We
went down town, and while she waited
in a store I climbed the stairs to the
office of a fashionable broker with my
heart beating until I was nearly suffo-
cated. I sat down in the private office,
and with a face as long as the statue of
misery, I handed out that pendant.
"'How much?' said the man,,
" don't know,' I replied.
"He disappeared, then came back
and said' $150.'
"-Then I knew he thought the ruby
real, as I had expected him to do, and
the pendant therefore worth about $600;
but the sum offered was about double
the real value of the pendant, so I looked
sorrowfully at the gem for a moment
and then said:
"'Can you do no better for mc?'
"'None,' said he.
"One more long look at that memen-
to of better days, and then I said, in a
voile suffused with tears:
"4 I'll take it.'
"The broker had_ been watching me
closely, and I think he was moved by
my apparent, distress, which my fright
helped me to assume, for whale he
brought me the ticket and the money he
said in the gentlest way:
"'My dear lady, if you wish to re-
deem this at anytime, send us word and
we'll send it to you and spare you the
pain of coming here.' He was so kind
that I'm sorry I cheated him, even if he
did want a $600 pendant for $150."
The reporter related this story to a
reputable Maiden lane jewelry manu-
facturer. He said that the secret of the
girl's success lay partly in the fact that
the bogus jewel had a flaw in it, and
that it was set with superior, if small,
diamonds, but chiefly in the bearing of
the girl. She showed to his eye that she
was not accustomed to the air of a pawn
shop, and so he was more easily deceiv-
ed.—Jewelers' Weekly.
-
Avoi tautology. Do not write:
1
"The t aveler, tired and weary with his
journey lay down to rest."
Avoid redundancy. Do not say:
" Another old veteran has departed."
Avoid the unnecessary use of connec-
tives. Only a bad Writer would say:
"I went to see her and spend the after-
noon, and stay to tea and spend the
evening, and have her go home with me
and stay all night."
In regard to subjects, write of - some-
thing with which you are familiar, or
with which you can become familiar by
careful study. For instance, you may
tell of your success with pansies, or read
up the subject "Sponges," to make an
interesting account for children. It is
said; " A man's best things lie nearest
him." You are apt to imagine that noth-
ing less than a trip to the Pacific coast
will furnish suitable material for a good
article. The four-leaved clover grows
at you dooratep. Make the most of
your small opportunities while you are
oh the lookout for larger openings.
After selection, plunge at once into
your subject; be sure you strike a key-
note at the outset to which you may
return at the close, and thus secure a
complete, harmonious whole.
Be interested in your topic if you ex-
pect to interest others. Become thor-
oughly saturated with your subject be-
fore putting pen to paper. Fully half
of the work may be done in the mind
before producing visible results. With
the subject held in mind, even desultory
reading will disclose similar ideas that
would otherwise be unnoted.
Throughout your article show a re-
serve strength indicating that you could
gay more if you would. A study - of
good literature will shove how this can
be done.
An earnest writer anxious to succeed
stead of the lining. It took a quart of
benzine to bring back peace to our
household.
One day I came home and found her
seated behind her sewing table, which
was covered with cards. As soon as
she saw me she sprang to her feet with
her countenanee full of hysteria. She
pointed her finger at me with a gesture
of diaper(' and vexation.
"Howard, you have been followed by
a dark woman. Who is she?. Don't at-
tempt to deceive me."
"My dear, I can conceal nothing
from you," I replied. "She is the col-
ored women who attends to our laun-
dry. She met me at the door with a de-
mand for $4, and I told her to Call again
in the spring."
I never saw any one so relieved as
Maudie was.
"I knew the cards couldn't be wrong,"
she said, "I've just got a book that
tells all about them. Now I'm going to
tel your fortune."
She made me cut the pack, and then
she began to lay off the cards.
A black knave; that's you,"
saml.
"Thanks, awfully," said 1.
"That only means a young man who
is of dark complexionn she explained.
" There's a light queen following him.
That's I, of course. Isn't it nice? The
ace of spades wrong side up ! Oh,
.Howard! that means that I'm going to
die," and she begen to cry.
"Turn over tbe next one and let's see
about the inquest," I said, trying to pass
the thing off as a joke.
".rhe ten of hearts," she sobbed.
" That means a laugh and a merry time.
Ob, Howard 1 to think that you would
go off and enjoy yourself after I'm dead.
You horrid, horrid thing !"
".Bat, my dear, I should crY my eyes
out. There must be a mistake here
somewhere."
"No," she moaned, and the very next
card is the nine of clubs, which means
that whatever you have told is sure to
come true. I am as good as dead, and
you will be happy."
"Light of my existence—"
"Don't speak tome. Would you de-
ceive a woman who has only a few days
to live ?"
It desperation I turned the next card.
It was the deuce of Diamonds. Maude
was looking over the top of her hand-
kerchief. F saw her face brighten sud-
denly.
"That's the best money card in the
pack," she said. "Were going to be
rich before I die."
"Then cheer up, my dear, and give up
telling foutunes.'
"1 wilt," she said, "and I'll begin
to -day. Goodness. no • I can't begin
to -day. It's Friday. no;
to-morrow is
the thirteenth of the month. Oh, dear!
I'll have to wait. But the first good,
lucky day,when the sun doesn't rise in a
cloud, and I get out of bed with my -
right foot first, I will renounce supersti-
tion forever—if I haven't a bad -luck
dream during the night."—New York

A Superstitious Wife.
Before Maude and I were married her
penchantfor horseshoes and four-leaved
clovers did not impress me as an indica-
tion of anything more serious than the
harmless romanticism of innocent maid-
enhood. 1 did not then realize what it
is to have superstition in the family.
Even later, when she implored me to
wear my left sock wrong side out for
luck, I regarded it only as the sign of
affectionate solicitude for my welfare,
which would evaporate after the honey-
moon. I noticed that she was very par-
tieular about these things. She thought
that it was flying in the face of Provi-
dence to leave a room by a different
door from that by which she had enter-
ed. This was a very uncomfortablesuper-
stition in our flat, because the rooms
were strung along in a line, so tint it
was partically impossible to pass from
our parlor to the dining rootn without
going through a couple of bedrooms.
Maude was in a fearful dilemma about
this at first. I suggested that she should
let herself out of the front window by a
rope, walk around the block and climb
into the back window by the fire escape.
She seemedto be pained by the levity
of this advice, and I left her in tears.
When I returned she Was radiant with
hope.
"If.you go out of the second door
backward it reverses the charm and
gives you good luck," she said, and she
stuck to it even after she had fallen
over a doormat and driven a hair pin in-
to the back of her head in her efforts to
propitiate the fates. I could't see much
luck in that, but she called my attention
to the fact that if she had gone out the
usual way she mighthave driven the hair-
pin into her nose,which would have been
much worse.
-At first she was the only victim of
her vagaries, but later they began to get
in their work on me. She sewed a
horseshoe that weighed six pounds on
my chest protector, and I. had to leave
the whole outfit at a neighboring bath
house every morning and call for it at
night, because it was so heavy that it
made me round shouldered. In this
way I caught a cold that nearly carried
me off the face of the earth. She sat up
late one night to put a genuine handi
painted, four-leaved clover, about two
feet in diameter, on the back of mor
coat, and she mitt No nervous about it

A Story_ of Artemus Ward's
That Has -(Probably) Never
Been Printed.
It is a gentleman who tells it thus
"Artemus Ward lectured in our town
one night, and after it was over, some
of pa boys who had attended it thought
we'would make te call on him. We
went to the hotel where he was stay-
ing, were shown up to his room and
repped at the door. He opened it, and
called out. Come in, boys, and have a
seats'
" The gaunt, tall, homely, awkward,
good-natured humorist made us .perfect-
ly at home, kept us there till after mid-
night, and told us funny things till we
nearly killed ourselves with laughter.
Be wound up with : Now, boys, I will
tell a story that I believe has never got
into print. I was once travelling
through the State of Michigan on horse-
back. I was tired and worn out, and I
drove up before a log cabin and inquired
for the nearest tavern. The woman
told me it was about ten or twelve
,miles off. I .and the old mare were com-
pletely used up, and I thought we could
not go that distance. I asked if she
could accommodate me for the night,
and she said I should have to Wait until
John came in. When John got round,
he said he was not in the habit of put-
ing up travellers but he would accom-
modate me if 1 would sleep up in the
loft—it was the only place there was. I
was glad enough to do this, and we went
up the ladder, and he gave me a bed,
wItich consisted of a blanket and two
buffals robes spread on the floor, and a
bag of oats for a pillow. -Before inorn-
ing I had the nightmare, and ate half
that bag of oats. And when I came- to
settle my bill, John would not take any
pay for my breakfast, but charge4 me
for the half bushel of oats I had eaten."

had business with one of the clerks
in a large retail ready-made clothing
house the other day, and waited nearly
an hour until he finished with his
customer. He told me he had been
with her for an hour before I came in,
and that it was almost impossible to
fit her boys, "they stood up so
straight."
While I was waiting for him I was
seated in the children's department, and
had an excellent opportunity to study
the boy. First he came in fat and smil-
ing, with a fat and smiling mother. He
laughed heartily, as did. she, when he
buttoned a coat too small for him, and
which fitted him like a glove. Smiling,
he tried 011 others till he found one he
liked, and went by me to the street aa
light-hearted as he came,in.
Next, the boy came in fretfully pul-
ling at his overcoat, followed by a
-woman's sharp voice, "Don't do that,
Freddy. , I don't want you to take your
overcoat off yet. What makes you act
so ?"
I was struck at once by the marked
resemblance in appearance and action
between the boy and his mother—both
restless, both constantly worrying.
Once more the "boy" came in—this
time alone—quiet, neat, with a manly
air, and a face that said plainly he had
to plan for himself a good deal, possibly
for others as well. He was the young-
est of the three—not more than ten
years old. The duty of selecting well
was plainly painful to him, but he did
not hesitate a moment. How his ex-
pression had changed when he came
out with his new coat under his arm!
