A STORY: ET CORWELIA. RATH/3015E.
(Continued. from Last Week.)
"Neither," said Bob, "it was a troubled
mind this time. The fact is, father, Pm go-
ing to be married."
Well, you're frank at least, and certain-
ly there is something refreshingly sudden
about you, Bob. - When is it to be? To -
Morrow?"
"In about twenty-five years, father, I
should think," said Bob, gloomily.
" I'm glad you give one time to get used
to the idea," laughed. Mr. Davis. "You
quite took my breath away. Who is she,
my boy ?"
"It is Elsie Cuyler, father," said Bob.
Mr. Davis sprang to his feet.
° "Look here, in son, haven't you more
pride than to let one of that family play the
fool with you? A girl with no more heart
-no more truth,',
"Don't father, please," interrupted Bob.
"1 can't let even you say a word against
her."
" But, Bob, my boy," stammered. Mr.
Davis, "1 tell you I knew- what they are!
They are all alike, root and branch -they
are all alike -heartless a,nd false; I ought
to knew; I suffered enough at their hands."
t` Not Elsie, father," interrupted Bob
again.
"And prouder than Lucifer."
"But not Elsie," said Bob.
Mr. Davis groaned.
"Now, my dear old father," said Bob,
throwing his arm caressingly over his
father's shoulder; nothing you can say will
shake my faith in her She has the pluck
to stand out against any Cuyler or Van
Droop living. Her cousin was weak as
water, poor thing. .Elsie says it broke her
heart."
"Pooh !" exclaimed Mr. Davis, contempt-
uously. "She had' none to break. Well,"
he went on, with a sigh, "have your own
way, Bob. I won't stop you if you think
you are right. I don't aee how you are going
to get her, though 1"
"I've got a. bit Of a plan in my head,"
said Bob. " I'm going down to -see Buel
about it."
" Broke her heart, did it?" muttered
Davis senior, glancing across at the house
opposite, when Bob had left him.
• The immediate result of Bob's visit to Mr.
Buel was two notes, One addressed to Peter
Cuyler, Esq., City Buildings, Wolvenhook,
was as fellows:
"DEAR CUYLER : Come to my house if
you ca,n some time either to -clay or to -mor-
row; I am forbidden the office.. I want to
see you about the snit. Robert L. Davis, of
Clark, Fraly & Davis, has just been in, and
he struck me as just the man to take it. He
has the whole case at his fingers' ends fol-
lowed it at the trial, and has been studying
it up independently ever since, it seems. I
yerily _believe he has hit on a solution of the
Hatch difficulty -cleverest thing I ever
heard. I don't think you could get any-
body better to carry the case up for you.
He is young, of course, but his law is sound,
and he is wonderfully keen, and a brilliant
speaker. If you think .well of it, I will have
him meet you here at any time you name.
I am off early in May, so the sooner some-
thing is settled the better.
"Yours very truly, J. J. BUHL."
The othet note ran:
"My LITTLE SWEETHEART: Just a line to
ell you that I shall not see your father this
orning, after all. I have a new plan
hich I will explain to you to-pight at the
remnants. Meanthne suppress Mrs. Chu-
n Cone. Until to -night, my darling,
"Hastily, but ever faithfully, BOB."
While Elsie was Still poring over Bob's
ote, she was hastily summoned to her
other's room, where she found Mrs. Cuy-
r in tears, antelegram in her hand.
"Your grandmamma, my deanyour poor,
ar granchnamma," sobbed Mrs. Cuyler.
Your uncle Richard has just telegraphed
e to -come at once -and Pm afraid it is the
d. She is so old; ninety-five her last
rthday."
Whereupon Elsie, although her grand -
amnia had known neither her, nor any one
e, foreten years, was quite conscience;
ricken to fin4 that her keenest feeling was
e of rejoicing in that her mother for a
ne at least would be out of reachof Mrs.
inton-Cone's tongue. •
"You can just catch the twelve -thirty

Immediately all was bustle and- Confusion

postulating, bodily down the (itairs.
"Take the telegram over t your cousin
Susan," Mrs. Cuyler managed to gasp, stop-
ping on the steps, "she is the eldest grand-
child. She might want to go down."
. "Yes, yes, mamma," cried Elsie, "but
indeed you haven't a minute to lose 1"
And just as Mrs. Clinton -Cone reac
the curb -stone, the Carriage rolled - rapi
away.
t' What an escape?" gasped Elsie, sink
exhausted into a chair. "In another in
ute she would have suggested iriving down
with maimna-I am positiv she would.
Poor mamma," she added wit1 a little tardy
compunction, "1 hope she wm 't have very
long to wait at the station."
hat afternoon Elsie obediently carr
the telegram over to Miss Van Dro
whom she found by the drawing -room
knitting a baby jacket, wit i a volume
Mrs. Hemanhs poems propped open bef
her.
.
"1 am disturbing your reading, I
afraid," Said Elsie.
"Oh, I wasn't reading, lily dear," s
Miss Van Droop. "1 was just committi

I repeat aloud it seems quite like compa

"Poor Cousin Susan !" said. Elsie, gent
laying Miss Van Droop's thin , hand care
ingly against her soft, fresh cheek.
The little caress was very grateful to M
Van Droop, for she received so few of the
nowadays. She kept Elaie's hand in he
and smoothed it softly as 'she Spoke.
"I wanted to say something to you, n
dear," she said. Of course you know

And. then Miss Van Droop broke dow
and Elsie drew; her into her strong youn
arms and. comforted her; and by and b
they talked Aciftly and shyly about Elsie
leve story, and Miss Van Droop said
made her very happy to hear about Robert
boy; and she flushed a little as she said th
name.
Bob threw himself heart and soul into th
study of the intricate, puzzling case, whic
had dropped from Mr. Buel's failing hand
into his strong grasp.
The case at the time of its first trial ha
made quite a stir in the legal world. Con
sequently, could he only lay his finger o
the weak spot which he felt existed in
enemy's defences and atteceed in reversin
the decision of the court, his name wa
made. He would then, he felt, be in a pos
tion where he could more confidently urg
upon Mr. Cuyler the request for his daugh
ter's hand.
The case- was put down for the followin
October, and untitthen it was decided t
keep Elsie's parents in ignorance, if possible
of their daughter's revolt against famil
• traditions.
"It isn't exactly like deceiving them, yo
know," said Elsie, somewhat zasuiatically
"It isn't as if we were going to see eacl
other all the time; as long as we aren'
there certainly can be no use in makin
everybody unhappy."
"No use at all," said Bob decidedly. "0
course I would rather fight it out fair ans
square. I hate concealment and all that,bu
when it comes to fighting a lot of ghostly
grandfathers, why, I don't see that there i
anything for it but to meet them on theft
own ground, as it were."
Fate had conspired with these young lov
ers to keep their secret from parental ears.
Mrs. Cuyler, after her mother's death, de
aided not to return to Wolvenhook, but to
have Elsie join her and to go across immedi-
ately to England for a few months rest and
change.
Mrs. Clinton -Cone, therefore, had found
no opportunity,to enlighten Mrs. Cuyler as
to those tell-tale glances and hand -clasps.
This was to be the last meeting before
Elsie sailed. They had strolled away to-
gether in the spring sunshine under the soft,
feathery elm branches, through the sweat,
fresh springtime sounds and odors. Every --
thing about them thrilled and throbbed with
life, and hope, imd gladness; and their
hearts thrilled too, in unison.
Two days later Bob, with. a sudden tight-
ening at his heart, read Elsie's name in the
passenger list of the "Gallia." He wonder-
ed whether she had known his roses by- the
blue ribbon that tied them ; and then in his
strong, true faith, he smiled a little to see
her mother's favorite, Dirck Bogaert's name
among the rest- '
"As if, God bless her,I wouldn't trust her
with a dozen Dirck Begaerts," he said.
In six months, when his case had at last
been reached and heard, Mr. Cuyler follow-
ed to fetch his family home. Pending the
decision of the court, he hurried off, and al-
most before the roll of the sea was out of his
head had started back with them. By the
time they reached home the decision would
be known and the suspense over.
Bob had fought his fight well, and had
made two oe three telling points in his argu-
• ment. One of the wise, silken -robed judges
had leaned toward his neighbor and whisper-
ed laconically-" Brains !"
Little they thought, those learned. men,
sitting -so solemnly behind their carved oak
screens, that romance was masquerading
before them in legal array ; that a bride as
well as a decision was being asked at their
hands.
There was one 'old judge, however, who
knew. He looked down from out the carv-
ed paneling of the court -room wall; for-
miately for his would-be grandson, how-
ever, a hard coat Of varnish sealed his lips.
His son, however, had nothing but smiles
for his young lawyer, and when •he learned
that the great case had been decided in their
favor, his enthusiasm knew no bounds.
• "My dear fellow !" he cried. " What a
triumph !"
" I am glad to have been of service to
you," said Bob, and after a while he named
the price of that service.
"The fee I ask is possibly an unusual
one," he said. "But you have been good
enough to speak of my services as having
been of great value to you."
"Eh r interrupted Mr. Cuyler sharply.
"Your kind appreciation, therefore, em-
boldens me," went on Bob, -undisturbed, "as
does my knowledge of the importance of this
decision to you-"
Mr, Cuyler fidgeted nervously,
"And leads me to hope that you will not
Pitcher's' Castoria.
think my demand unreasonibly great.,"
"Well, well, out With it-! You make as
much preamble as though" you were -asking
for a. coot thousand !" • " -
"A thousand !" said Bob contemptuously.
"That is a good joke 1 That deoieton worth
the great awn of a thousand dollars to you!
Or perhaps you meantpounds, being just
over from England'? That is a good joke 1"
he said pleasantly. "However, -1,11 get to
the point. Mr. Cuyler, I ask as my fee your
daughter's hand !"
" What, sin!" cried Mr. Cuyler, his red
face -aflame, "you -you-"
I have loved her all my life," said Bob-.
"You -you nobody I Do you dare tell
me 1" stammered Mr. Cuyler, fairly speech-
less with indignation.
Bob bent over the peppery old gentlefnan,
• holding him down in his chair with one
strong, young, arm, and looking him full in
the eye's.
"ow, Mr. Cuyler, listen to me," he Said
quietly. Marry 'your daughter I
either with your -consent, or without it, as
you pleas -e. I will take your consent as iny
fee. If you refuse it I must, of course, ex-
press my demand in pounds; shillings and
pence; and I warn you I shall not insult
your daughter by naming a paltry sum as
her equivalent. I shall then, as I said,
marry her withoutathe consent you refuse.
I swear I will. You have your choice.
Don't answer me now -take .till . to -morrow
to decide; talk it over with Elaie. Possibly
you may conclude that to accept irly propo-
sition will be the wisest and pleasantest
arrangement that you ca,n make; as it cer-
tainly is the best from a financial point of
view.
" YoU are a clever young dog. I'll sa,y
that for you," fumed Mr. Cuyler.
"Thank you, sir," said -Bob, pleasantly.
" Think over my suggestion, will you. Good
morning."
That evening the Cuyler's man -servant
actually went up the Davis steps and pulled
the Davis' bell handle. Mrs. Clinton -Cone
saw him do it.
He left a note, which Bob tore open
breathlessly and kissed a dozen times. Mrs.
Clinton -Cone was terribly agitated. She
hungered and thirsted after - the knowledge
of what that note contained.
"Oh Bob, dear Bob." it said, "it's all
right -they have given their consent at last,
and I am so happy! Come over at once;
they are expecting you. Don't look for an
over -cordial welcome, though. I have tried
to impress uppn them that the Lord loveth
a cheerful gisfer'' but it doesn't seem to affect
them. There has been a battle royal, but
we have won the day, and nothing else mat-
ters -and oh, Bobg-I love you -love you -
love you.
"Yours forever, ELSIE."
And so, when spring came, there was a
wedding in High Street over which discus
aion waited fast and furious. All the ma
trona Fihook their heads, and all the maidens
applanded.
• The presents were, of course, superb.
Dirck Bogaert sent a diamond star. Mrs.
Clinton -Cone herself sent a lovely set of dear
• little devotional books, bound in white vel-
lum, with such a sweet note.
The wedding itself was very much like all
weddings, except that perhaps the bride was
prettier than some brides are, and that the
bridegroom looked more radiantly triumph-
ant.
Miss Van Droop came, of • course, looking
almost young and pretty again,in the dainty
little bonnet whose purchase Elsie herself
had superintended. She cried a little when
she kissed the bride.
"This makes me so happy, my dear!" she
said. Good, unselfish, little Miss Van
Droop! And then, with the tears still in
her eyes, she kissed,Bob, too.
Mr. Davis felt lonely that night, after the
wedding was over and the happy pair gone;
there was an empty feeling about the house.
"1 shall miss the boy terribly 1" he said,
wandering restlessly to 'and fro. By and by
he drew up the shade and looked out into
the night. There was a light in the house
opposite. He whistled softly as he stood
there -he whistled the tune very boldly,
but it wt a pretty old tune. By and by he
broke of and sighed-" So it broke her
heart, did it 1" he • said softly. "Poor
Susie !"
And across the way Miss Van Droop in
the darkness, looked out from behind her
curtains and saw him standing there against
the bright background of the room.
"Good night," she said, the tears stream-
ing down over her faded cheeks. "Good
night ; God bless you, my dear.
[THE END.]
Young Poets.
BY REV. JAMES T. DOCKING, PH. D.
Au intelligent, healthy child is almost as
sure to break out into poetry as he is to
break out with the measles. Isaae Watts,
"the inventor of English hymns," was pun-
ished, when a mere boy, for writing verses;
and; while his father was still flogging him,
he cried out,-
" Ob. father! do some pity take,
And I will no more verses make."
Robert Browning, who ha,d published some
of his poems before he was twenty-five, is
said to have made his first attempt at rhyme
at four years of age. When his mother was
about to give him a dose of medicine, he
struck an attitude, and said, -
All people if you wish to see
A boy take physic, look at me."
Here is the closing verse of Will Carleton's
first poetic letter, written to his sister when
he was ten years old, -
"1 must end my letter,
And bring it to a close;
Perhaps it will be better
To. make the next in prose."
These examples -and they might be great-
• ly multiplied -go to show that poets are
early spring plants, and in no branch of
literature are found more telling examples of
precocious youth than in the poetic litera-
ture of any age and of any people. -
"The sun does not rise like a rociet." He
who would. be great must have patience to
grow. Carlyle even thought that young
men should be shut up in barrels until .they
are twenty-five. The better advice is
doubtless the one given to one of the Many
pilgrims coming to the home of the Chelsea
sage, when he said, "The best time to be-
gin is when you are ready."
This opinion is confirmed when we call to
niind Chatterton and Keats, Marlowe and
Henry Kirk White, Burns and Fergusson,
Shelley and Byron,Mozart and Mendelssohn,
who, if they had waited until time had
washed their hair white, or age had furrowed
their foreheads, or even until they were
forty, would have written no poems nor add-
ed any music to cheer the life of mortals..
Many of the early poets have owed their
inspiration to falling passionately in love.
Others besides poets have found inspiration
in the same fall. But, as John Ruskin said,
there are many difficulties in falling in love
with the wrong person. This fact is sadly
illustrated by the unhappy lives of poets
that made ether lives happy, but found no
happiness in their own homes. Upon their
"bridal crown" there was hanging a dew-
drop which proved to be a tear. Milton was
once told that his wife was a rose. "That
may be," said the blind poet, "for I feel the
thorns daily."
Dante, with whom mOdern poetry began,
who exchanged his pen for a painter's pen-
cil, fell•in love with little Beatrice, and be-
came an ardent lover when but nine. Tease,
another great Italian poet, whose life is
most touching and pathetic, wrote .poems at
ten. At eighteen he composed his "Rinal-
do ;" at thirty he completed his greatest
poem, "Jerusalem Delivered."
Shakespeare married at eighteen, and
wrote his Venus and Adonis before he
was thirty; and Spenser issued his first
volume • at the . age of thirty. John
Milton wrote his hymn on - the
"Nativity" before th.e prose of the
world had fixed itself in the habits of life.
He did not publish his "Paradise Lost" un-
til lie -was about sixty, but. this 'masterpiece
of English poetry, theugh dictated by an old
tongue, was conceived bye young head. -
Pope, who Nicame "a sexagenarian" at
sixteen, was sent home from seheol for lam-
pooning the teacher when but twelve years
old, at which age he wrote his ode on Soli-
tude." When -he was about thirty he had
completed a translation of the Iliad.
Sir Walter Scott had shown but little or
no indication pointing toward great fame in
literature until he was about thirty; yet a
few years later he produced his Waverley
novels at a marvellous rate of speed.
At the age of twenty-seven, Burns pub-
lished his first volume, which made him at
once the national poet. Chatterton, of
whom. Campbell said that "no English poet
ever equalled Chatterton at sixteen," took
the fatal draught, and perished in lejs pride,
thus ending his brilliant career inFless than
eighteen years. Henry Kirk 10ite died
waen but twenty-one. Melancholy John
Keats published his first volume at twenty-
one, and died when twenty-five.
Poet Shelley, known in youth as "mad
Shelley," a bright star of the atheistic order,
"a throbbing bundle of nerves;" that never
saw a sane day, was an author at eighteen,
and married at nineteen, deserted his wife
at3 twenty-one, and was drowned at thirty.
'Club -foot" Byron, who had to write to
"empty his brain, or g� mad," fell in love
at eight, and published his first volume at
nineteen. So popular was young Byron at
twenty-four, when he published his " Childe
Harold,' that he said he awoke one morn-
ing and found himself famous.
• Hard-working Southey wrote his "Joan
of Are" at nineteen, and Mrs.Browiiingpub-
lished her first important volume when
twenty-four. Southey had a mind full of
great designs, and was a most voluminous
writer.
That immortal hymn. -
"Jesus, and shall it e'er be,
A mortal man ashamed of thee."
was written by Joseph Grigg when but ten
years old. When our American poet, Bry-
ant, published his early poems, they were so
extraordinary, that it was thought best to
print a certificate declaring that the author
was but a lad. Longfellbw was a youth when
he wrote his "Psalm of Life." Tennyson
published his first volume when bit eighteen,
and Victor Hugo's works were numerous be-
fore he was thirty.• But we mat stop. The
list is already too long. But a, closing word.
These young men did not dreamtheir poems.
Fame comes to no man while he is asleep.
"A man knows ELS much as he works."
Nothing great ever began great.
All historic young men who have passed
through the door of success have found it

Pleasantries.
-Johnnie (in bed for being naughty) :
"Mamma, I wish I was twins, then when
one of me was punished, the otherone could
go out and play."
-" I've been looking for my hinsband for
the -last two hours," said an agitated woman
to a calm one. " Don't be excited,Madam,"
replied the latter. 'I've been looking for a
husband,for the last twenty-five years.
-Husband (triumphantly) : "I've done
it. I've played two games of chess blind-
folded!' Wife: "Well, I'd like to run out
for half an hour. Suppose you mix s the
bread, mind the baby, stir the pudding,
baste the roast, watch the vegetables, and
answer the door bell for awhile. You neecPt
be blindfolded."
I have often noticed," said Josh Bil-
lings, "that the man who would have done
such wonderful things, if he had been there,
never gets there."
-There was a man in Limerick who went
to the undertaker to order a coffin for Pat
Connell'. "Dear me," said the undertaker
"is poor Pat dead ?" "No, he's- not dead
Yet,' answered the other, "but hell die to-
night, for the doctor says he can't live till
morning, and he knows what he gave him."
-Judge Burton who was a very old and
wizened little man, was trying a case, when
another very old man, scarcely able to walk,
came into court to give evidence. Instead
of -going to the witness box he went towards
the passage leading to the bench. McDonagh,
the counsel, called out to him : "Come
back, sir! where are you going? Do you
think you are a judge ?" "Indeed, sir," said
the old. man looking up at Judge Burton -
"indeed, sir, I believe I am fat for little
else."
Professor Mackie Makes Ib.Right.
Professor Blackie was lecturing to a new
class with whose personnel .he was imper-
fectly acquainted. A student rose to read a
paragraph, his book in his left hand.
"Sir 1" thundered Blackie, hold. your
book in your right hand. !"-and as the
student would have spoken-" No words,
sir ! Your right hand, I say."
The student held up his right hand, end-
ing piteously
piteouslat the wrist. " Sir, I hae nae
right hand," he said.
Before Blackie could open kis lips, there
arose a storm. of hisses, and by it his voice
was overborne; kele."--;1=1}1

Then the professor 1ft his place and went
down to the student he had unwittingly
hurt, and put his arm around the lad's
shoulders and drew him Close, and the lad
leaned against his. breast. "My boy," said.
Blackie -he spoke very softly, yet not so
softly but every word was audible on the
hush that had fallen on the class -room -
"my boy, you'll forgive me that I was
over rough 1 I did not know, I did not
know !" He turned to the students, and
with a look and tone that came straight
from his heart he said : "And let inc say
that I am rejoiced to be shown that I am
teaching a class of gentlemen." Scottish
lads can cheer as well as hiss and that
Blackie learned.

' Looking for the White City.
Two waifs stood near one of the main en-
trances to the World's Fainand with startled
eyes and small mouths open wide with won-
der, watched the surging crowds. They
were hand -in -hand -little, slitn, dirty hands
-and every i feature bespoke want and
misery; the bleak autumn winds swept
down the street and seemed to chill the
shivering children as they stood there, all
desolate, among that great, hurrying, happy
throng. A big policeman noticed them, and
asked what they wanted there.. The elder
one raised his large pleading eyes to him,
and. said; "A boy told us this was the
great White City,' and we want to go in."
"You have no money to go in there,
hilcl," the policeman said. "What do you
ant -in there?"
The, four-year-old girl nudgedthe boy and
vhispered : "You tell, Jimmie."
"No, you tell." Then she twisted her
lender fingers over and • over each other
ervously, and looked down and said: '
Ma's dead, and she must be in there. She
aid she was going to the beautiful city, and
hat me and Jimmie mast go there too; and
e thought this must be the place we have
alked so far to find. Oh, please sir, won't
ou let us in ?"
Then, with a pitying heart, the kind po-
ceman told them of that far-off city where
ieir mother had gone ; and as he saw the
ok of hopeless despair spread over the
ttle faces, he turned to brush away a tear
hat stole down his bronzed cheek, and
of tly said, "Yes, children, you may go in."
