HAVE COURAGE TO SAY NO.
You're starting to -day on life's journey,
Alone on the highway of life,
You'll meet with thorns and temptations,
'Each city with evil is rife.
This world is a stage of excitement,
There's danger wherever you go,
But if you are tempted in weakness
Have conrage my boy to say no.
▪ The syrerr's sweet voice may allure you,
Beware of her cunning and art;
Whenever you see her approaching
Be guarded and haste to depart.
The bright ruby wine may be offered,
No matter how tempting it be,
From poison that stings like an adder,
My boy have courage.to flee.
In courage alone lies your safety,
When your long journey begins,
And trust in a heavenly father
Will keep you unspotted from sin.
Temptations will go on increasing
As streams from a rivulet flow,
But if you are true to your manhood,
Have courage my br,y to say no.
AJ301'T •1'IIE MAID IEN. '
Oh, the light that lies in the maiden's eyes,
As she meets the fond glance of her lover,
Is brighter by far than the gleam of the stun
That shines in the darkness above her.
But the tuneful clink of a maiden's chink,
And the glean) of her gold so yellow,
More than Cuipicl's dart will tone)) the heart
01 the most unsusceptible fellow,
A ('ONSIDERATE BOY.
My father, he goes down to town
To make my bread for me,
And that is why I never frown
When we're stale bread for ten.
And when the butter is not good,
I sit and don't say "boob I"
Because I've always understood
My father snakes that, too.
And I believe there is no doubt
He works with all his might,
And if he wasn't just worn nut
The things would be all right.

REMEDY.
All the peo le in the house -•a, great bee•
hive of workmen --situated in the Rate Do-
lambre, where Tony Robeo had occupied a
room for six menthe, took him for a widow-
er lately bereaved, for his little son with
whom he lived alone, a small child, dressed
as nicely as though he had a mother, was
hardly (i years old. However, neither the
father nor the son wore any crape either ou
their caps or sleeves.
Every day, early in the morning, Tony
Robeo, who worken as a typesetter in a
printing shop in the Latin quarter,weut off
with his little Adrien, still half asleep, on
his shoulder, and would leave him at a
school in the neighborhood, where, after his
day's work was done,he would call for him,
and leading the little fellow by the hand
would stop at the butcher's and milkman's
and take home in the child's schoolbasket,
just as a woman would have done, what
was necessary for their dinner, and then
would shut himself up in hie room till the
uext day.
The tender-hearted gossips of the house
pitied the poor father, who was a still
tine looking man scarcely 40 years old,
but with ouch a sad, pale face, his beard
already streaked with gray and his earn-
est eyes looking line those of a lion in
repose, and they said as they looked after
hint;
"That man ought to marry again. He
is a good fellow and never drinks. He
could easily find a nice girl to take care of
him and his sou. Have you noticed how
clean he keeps the little boy? Never a
hole or a spot on his clothes. He is an
orderly man. You can see it at once, and
seems he earns 10 franca a day."
They would have liked to have made his
acquaintance. Generally it is not difficult
to slake friends with one's neighbors in
these popular houses, where they live half
the time with their doors open. But Tony
had a reserved air, a polite way of bowing
to them on the stairway which intimidated
them.
Every Sunday the father and son, clean
as two new pennies went for a walk. They
had met them in the museums in the
Jardiu des Plantes. They had also seen
them before dinner time in a little cafe of
the quarter, where Tony treated himself to
his sole luxury in the week,a glass of absin-
the, which he drank slowly, while Adrien,
seated by his side on a leather' covered
bench, looked at the illustrated papers.
"No, mesdames," said the concierge of
the house, who was sentitnental, to her
friends, "that widow will never marry
again. A Sunday or two ago I met him in
one of theaths of the Montparnasse cem-
etery. His wife no doubt is buried there.
It made me sad to see Mtn with his mother-
less child. He Must have adored his lost
one. It is rare, but there are some like
that ; he is inconsolable,"
Alas ! yes. 'Pony Robeo had loved his
wife deeply and could not be consoled for
her loss ; only he was not a widower.
His history was a very simple and not a
happy one. He was a couscientions work•
man, but only moderately clever at his
trade, and it was not before a long tune
that he had succeeded in setting time well
and in earning his livelihood in email way,
and that was the reason why he never had
thought of marrying until he was over 80
years of age. He should have chosen a seri-
ous minded girl, acquainted with poverty,
as lie had been biunself. But love loughs at
reason, and Tony lost his heart to a young
flower girl 19 years old, who, although she
was virtuous, had a very frivolous charac-
ter, thinking only of dress and knowing
how to make herself look like a little prin-
cess with her lovely Lace, a few bits of rib-
bon and some bright colored stuff.
He had put by a small amount of money,
sufficient to furnish a wee apartment quite
well, and besides the usual necessary furni.
ture he bought a wardrobe with a looking
glass in it for 80 francs in the Faubourg
Saint Antoine in order that his sweetheart
could see herself in it full length, and then
he married his Clementine, and at first they
were blissfully happy. How they did love
each other, to be sure !
Tney have two rooms in the fifth story in
a house on the Boulevard Port Royal, with
a small balcony and a view over all Paris.
Ev, ry evening when he left his printing
house, situated on the left bank of the
Seine, Tony Robec, with his overcoat Bid-
ing his workman's blouse, looking quite
like a gentleman, would go the corner of
the bridge of Saint Peres to wait for his
little wife, who would come from the Rue
Saint Honore, •.where her workshop was,
and arm in arm, close together, they would
hurry to their distant home and eat their
merry evening meal.
But their Sundays, above all, were de.
lightful. They were so happy at home they
did not go out. Oh, their breakfasts in
summer, with the windows open looking
out over the great city and the blue sky,
how good they were! While he was sip-
ping his coffee and smoking his cigarette
Clementine would go to watch the flower
pots on the balcony. "She is too clever,"
he would say to himself, and then would
get up from his chair softly and surprise
her by kissing her on the back of her neck.
"Will you never have done, you silly fel-
low?" she would say laughingly.
And then in due time a child was born,
their little Felix, whom they put out to
nurse at Margency, where they would go to
see him every two weeks. But he died
when he was a year old of convulsions.
However, they were soon consoled by
Adrien's birth, whoa) the mother wished to
keep with her, and so she left her workshop
and took in work at home, earning only
about halt as much, but managing all the
same to dress herself prettily, and would
play the lady iu the Luxembourg gardens,
rolling her baby before her in a little straw
carriage.
But, although Tony toiled four times
harder than ever, working besides in a
newspaper office at night, he could not earn
enough for their expenses and fell into
debt. Then, when the child becatne strong
enough to wean and was left during the
day at a children's refuge, the mother, who
was often unoccupied, fell into the danger.
ous habit of gadding about in the streets
alone.
You c n imagine the difference between
the poofman, grown old before his time
with care and worn' out with hard work,
and this frivolous girl, ouly 23 and as pretty
as a picture of Greuze. One evening, on
coming home with hie little boy, for whom
he had stopped as he passed by the refuge.
Tony Robeo found a letter on the mantel•
piece from which, as he opened the envelope,
(,Jletnantine's wedding ring fell out. In this
letter the heartless creature bade him and
her son good bye and asked their forgiveness
at the same time.
The romantic jurymen of the present day,
who always acquit outraged husbands who
kill their wives and their lovers under the
pretext of "passionate crimes," would find
our Tony very ridiculous and even a little
despicable if they knew that he' felt more
sorrow than anger. He wept a great deal,
and when little Adrien said to him :
"Where is mamma? Is marnma not com-
ing home soon Y he kissed the little fel-
low passionately and replied, "I do not
know."
Clementine bad gone away at the begin•
zing of May -ah, me for bow much is the
odor of lilacs responsible sometimes! -tol
Tony, when the July rent day came, sold
nearly all hie furolGttro and _mid his delfts
Ana wont to live du the latae Deiambre,
wishing to be as far away as •possible from
his former home. 404 there he lived
quietly and honorably with his little boy,
and hie neighbors took him for a widower.
Toward the end of Septemb a' he received
a letter from his wife --four incoherent and
despairing pages, whereon the ink was all
blotted with tears, Her lover, a medical
student, had gone away for his vacation to
his family far down in the south, and he
did not write to her or give her any sign
of life. She, the traitress, wee abandoned,
betrayed in her turn, and she repented and
begged and implored to be forgiven. This
made poor 'Toby suffer terribly. But do not
get excited, forouious jurymen, who have,
all of you, u heart like the Moor's of Ven-
ice, mud give back, if you please, your es-
teem to the poor fellow, for he was proud
and did not answer his culpable wife's epis-
tle.
He heard no further news of Clementine
till on Christmas day.
Now, for many years he had had tho
touching custom of going on that day with
his wife to carry au humble bouquet -a
few halt frozen violets, with a little rose-
bud in their midst ---to their firstborn's,
their little Felix's toinb, who had diad
when he was out at nursing, and for
whom, wishing to have his grave . near
to them, they had bought a right of
burial for five years at Montparnasse, the
concessiou of which had been already re-
newed.
For the first time Tony Robeo had to
make this pilgrimage alone with his little
boy Adrien, and as he passed through the
gate to the cemetery under a funereal win-
ter's sky -and uow, cruel Othellos of the
jury, you will again despise this weak -
hearted husband %viten I tell you that he
suffered more than ever as he remembered
his absent wife, the fugitive.
"Where is she now 7" thought he.
"What has become of her 7"
But on reaching Felix's tomb, which he
had had some trouble in finding, he stopped
surprised.
There was laid on his tombstone two or
three playthings, such as the poorest people
buy -a wooden truinpet, a polichinelle and
a wooden dog -which had just been placed
there, for they were quite new and had evi-
dently been bought that very day at some
cheap street stall.
"Olt, playthings," Adrien exclaimed as
..s he saw the poor offerings.
' But his father, having perceived a piece
of paper pinned to one of the toys, stooped
and picked it up and read there these words,
written in a handwriting he well knew,
"For Adrien, from his little brother Felix,
who is now in heaven with the Christ
child:"
Suddenly Tony felt his son press up
against him and heard him murmur in a
frightened voice, "Mamma 1" and 'Tony
saw a few steps off kneeling under a clump
of cypress trees a woman clad in a beggar's
dress and shawl, and, oh ! so pale and with
such sunken eyes, who stretched her clasp-
ed and supplicating hands toward hien.
Between ourselves, sanguinary gentlemen
of the jury, I do not believe that 'Tony
Robec thought then of him. who taught us
both by word and by example to "forgive
offences," for this workman was really re-
ligious. But his plebeian heart was ignor.
ant of self-love and rancor. He trembled
less from anger at the memory of the out-
rage he had suffered than from pity at see-
ing the woman he had so tenderly loved in
such a miserable state, and he pushed his
little son gently toward her.
"Adrien," he said, "go and kiss your
mother."
She seized her child in a passionate em-
brace, covered his face with kisses as site
sobbed with happiness, then turning a be.
seeching look toward her husband :
"How good you are !" she murmured.
But he was already near to her and said,
half choking, almost harshly :
"Do not speak—and—take my arm."
It is not far from the cemetery to the
Rue Dela.nbre, and they walked there
quickly. Tony felt Clemanrtine's arm
trembling on his. The child trotted along
beside thein, thinking aleady only of his
toys.
The concierge of the house Tony inhab-
ited stood at the door.
"Madame," he said, "this is nay wife who
has been for six months in the country with
her mother, who was very ill, and who has
come home again."
And as they went up stairs he was oblig.
ed to support, almost to carry, the wretch-
ed woman, who had buret into sobs and
was nearly fainting from emotion and from
joy.
\Vhen he reached his humble room, Tony
made his wife sit down in the only arm-
chair he possessed and placed her son in her
arms again. Then he went to his bureau,
opened a drawer, from which he took out a
small paper box in which he had kept
Clementine's wedding ring and went and
replaced it on her linger, and then, for tho
first time, without a word of anger or re-
proach about the past, with the great gener-
osity of simple hearts, he kissed her silently,
reverently on the forehead, so that he plight
be sure he had forgiven her. --Francois Cop -

CONFEDERATES.
Ma. JOHN \\'AEDALE, 26.
HON. VALENTIA MANNIXOTON, 18.
Scene: A garden lighted by Chinese
lanterns. Enter from the house, John and
Valentia.
John (throwing himself on a rustic seat)
-I say, tate evening begins well. 'That
was a splendid valse. Perfect floor, per-
fect music, perfect partner, eh, Valentia ?
You will have to dance with me all
night.
Valentia-I shouldn't mind, but what
would mamma say 7
John (suppressing yawn) -Has a
modern mother any control over her
daughters ?
Valentia-Not exactly, but she can say
things, you know. She can snake my life a
burden to me -about people—
John -I don't fancy she dislikes me, at
any rate.
Valentia - No - but she doesn't like
me to waste my time -and (hesitating) she
knows—
John-That I am not a marrying man. I
should thiuk not indeed (laughing).
Valentia - Ha ! ha ! Fancy you be-
ing married I (Laughing). It would bo
too funny.
John -You can't imagine me married,can
you?
Valentin -No, indeed. But -Jack -you
-you alight he engaged.
John -Being engaged is apt to lead to
being married.
Valentia-It needn't.
John -Breach of promise.
Valentia-Ola? in our class? No nice
girl—
John (lazily) -You are the only nice girl
I know, and—
Valentia (desperately)-Well,then, Jack,
would you mind being engaged to mo just
for five hours?
John -Val -my dear girl—
Valentia (speaking very fast) --Jack,
you once taught me a slang word --but I
like it -we always said we were ''`pals,"
didn't. wo?
John -Yes, and always will be.
Valentia-1 want yeti tai be a real "pp;
end help ane.
John -.Yea, of ;gorse, what is it? Want
me to take you to supper aG the Anipititry
on, or get you tickets for--
Vulentia-Oh, none of that nonsense
Listen -I am bothered out of my life by
mamma and Lord Sturley ; you know
him ?
John -Well, he is a very good parti-not
_cod as I am-(laughing)-but—
alontia-But old 1
John -Make you a widow the sooner !
Valentia-Don't say that, Jack. It b
hoorid of you, but -isn't he hideous ?
John-Diemends ! '
Valentin plaintively) -Oh Jack, I didn't
think you would take mamma's part
against oro. I think he is simply hateful
John -Well then, dear, don't marry hire;
it's quite easy. You can afford to wait. Be
sides, the man's sailing for Gibraltar. bin'
he, tomorrow?
Valentia—Yes, that's just it ; and h:
means to propose to me before he goes aim
make the a kind of a widow. Mamma
wishes it, Aunt Margaret wishes it, Frank
wishes it, they all--
John—And they all—mother, aunt and
brother—bully you ? It's u shame ; the
liberty of the subj,,;t out to be respected.
1'11 do anything 1 can fur you—come now !
Valentia—Jack;m are a good "pal."
Well, then, if you really think you can
bear it—it's not for lone—would you mind
being engaged to rue, Jack, till the end ut
this ball, and 1'11 do as much for you an.
other day ? I promise you.
John --No fear. Once engaged, twice
shy. But look here, wait; this must be
properly managed if I am to have a share
in it. I don't think -excuse me -you have
not had much experience—nor have I for
that matter. But we'll pull it through some-
how. And I meant to dance with you all
the evening! Now we shall have to be
rather distant.
Valentia-Distan t?
John -Almost as distant as if we were
married. People might talk—
Valentia-But I want them to! '
John -Ah! but disagreeably. They would
say, "Poor things, they've got it badly 1" or
"They are very far gone." You wouldn't
like that, would you 7
Valentia—But engaged people—
John—Val, my dear, I don't think you
have been properly brought up. This is
your first season. You ought still to be very
cynical--
Valentia (angrily) -It is you, Jack, who
are cynical. But go on.
John -And there's another thing to think
of. \\'hich of us is to bo jilted?
Valentia—Oh, me, of course.
John—Generous girl! I couldn't think
of allowing it, though. No, you shall jilt
me -no one ever did before. It will do me
good.
Valentia-Really and truly -,Jack, I think
you can stand it better thin I can. I am
sure it would do you no harm to be thrown
over by such an eccentric girl as Valentia
Mennington.
John (kissing her hand)-i3y such a
beautiful girl as Valentia Mannington !
All right. Now we must go and telt your
mother; everybody in the room will know
in a quarter of an hour. Are you aware of
that?
Valentia—(laughing)--Of course, includ-
ing -Lord Sturley--
John (admiringly) -You have plenty of
pluck! Corns along,t.hen. (Aside). IIow
the fellows will laugh! I shall be chaffed
unmercifully. (Exeunt.)
It is the last dance of the evening. Enter
John and Valentia to the same seat in
the garden.
John (throwing himself down weaily)-
We►1, I've been patted on the back, and
exhorted to be cheerful, and bidden to
make you a good husband, and chaffed al-
most beyond the brink of endurance.
Valentia-And I've been told you were a
a good sort, and envied by my girl friends
and congratulated to distraction.
., John -Thank goodness it's over. I had
no idea it was like that. I wouldn't go
through it again for worids.
Valentia-So you'll never be married.
John -No, I suppose not -now.
Valentia-Everybody has been very kind.
I confess I rather liked it. And oh, Jack,
what do you think? Lord Sturley has pro.
posed to Ethel Strangeways, and she has
accepted him.
John -So, you've lost that!
Valentia-1)o you think I care?
John -One never kncwe-women are so
funny, when once another girl has ac-
cepted him. And oh, I say, Ottoline Beau -
desert would hardly speak to me all the
evening.
Valentia-I'm sorry for that. But never
mind; you'll meet her again in the autumn.
Where do you go?
John (wearily) -I shall shoot a bit at
Marchmont's, I suppose, and fool about at
one or two of the meetings, but really I'm
pretty indifferent. And you ?
Valentia (drearily)-IloInburg, I sup-
pose, at first, and then Scotland ; but
really .I take no interest.
John -Poor little girl !
Valentia (quickly) -1 pity you just as
much.
John -Why
Valentia-Oh, it's a stupid sort of exist-
ence we lead, isn't it ?
John (gloomily) -There isn't any other.
Valentia-1 don't know about that. At
any rate, there might have been an aboni-
nable kind of existence for me, if it were
not for you, Jack. But now Lord Sturley
is off my hands permanently, and it will
take mamma some time to find a new
match for toe. Even old and fat Pike that.
they are not so common.
John -There will be an awful row.
Valentia-Yes, there will. It's worse for
you. it will give mea certain consequence
to have jilted you which will perhaps com-
pensate in mamma's eyes- --
John-I can't say I quite like being jilt-
ed, Val.
Valentia-I knew you wouldn't. Let me
be -do!
,John -No, no; I know of a better way.
I have been thinking. Look here, Val, I
talk a lot of nonsense, and I lot people
talk a great deal of nonsense about me; it's
partly laziness, I fancy. I pose -Heaven
knows why -us a selfish, vain, heartless,
cynical man about town. I seem to take a
pride in letting people see the worst side
of me. "Smart men" and "society wo-
men" -what hateful rot it all is! $ut I
hope I am not such a bad sort after all. I
can appreciate a sweet, natural, honest
girl like you when I see her, and I think I
could endure -by Jove, I should enjoy -
the thought of domesticity with you!
Don't call me a conceited ass, Valentia,
but listen to what I propose--
Valentia (softly)—Jack, I don't know
you. What do you propose?
John (laughing)—I see 1 am being too
deadly serious. Well, dear, I propose that,
as we aro engaged, we stay engaged
and save trouble. Should you mind very
much?
Valentia—Mind! No, indeed, Jack. But
you know I never pretended to be cynical -
