BAGS!
Through the study woods, where
sweet ilowers blossom*! in wild Iwxur
ience, and twisted creepers made an al
most impassible barrier, wont two chil
dren, slowly but surely fighting their
way along.
Now anoWen a ray of sunlight glint
ing througlijhe trees fell across these
pretty lure heads and lovely dusky
ThdjFdreeses of rich cream embroid
ery gathered about tho waist by
delicate pink ribbons; bows of the same
rosy hue held back their thickly-clus
tered cnrls; tiny worked socks and pink
kid shoes completed toilettes fit for anj
yenng princesses.
But Zoe and Fay Marchmont were
not princesses, only two very wilful,
thoughtless little girl*, who. having es
caped from nurse's vigilant eyes whilst
she bushed baby to sleep, had run on
and on, until, once in the woods all re
morse fled in the delight of chasing the
bright-winged butterflies.
•Are you tired ?' Zoe asked presently,
turning to her youuger sister.
•No, not very; but Zoe, will nursie lie
dreadful angry V'
Zoe laughed saucily. She did not
care what anxiety their absence might
be causing to those at home ; a feeling
of reckless joy, ot intense freedom had
taken possession of her.
The pathway became less closely to
gether as they reared the end. "When
at last the children stepped out into the
open road, both paused in silent won
der.
•Do yon know the way ? Shall we
be home soon ?' Fay inquired eagerly ;
for in spito of her former denial, she
did begin to feel a triflo weary.
'Oh yes ; we only have to eo straight
up this road; don't you remember T
Fay did not remember ever having
passed that way before; but she was too
obedient and yielding to say so.
Hand-in-hand, scarcely ever exchang
ing a word, the children wandered n
long, still hoping to shortly reach their
home.
Presently voices fell on their ears
loud, gruff voices such as they rarely
heard before. Momentary terror made
them pause for one instant, then Zoe,
with firm steps, marched on.
'There are some people in that field ;
suppose we go and ask them if we are
going the right way ?
'Very well.' Fay agreed wearily,
though she shrank timidly behind her
sister as they naared the huge tent
standing iu the field.
▲ party of rough-looking women
were washing at a tiny clear spring,
shoqting to each other all the while ;
several sunburnt children lay rolling on
the grass, filling the air with their joy
ous cries.
Zoe dragged poor frightened Fay
close to the big tent, near where a tall
young girl stood, one brown arm flung
around the shaggy neck of a gentle-eyed
donkey.
Iler pretty face attracted Zoe, and
she gazed wonderinply at the long
masses of red-brown hair, which fell
carelessly about the gipsy's shoulders ;
her surprised eyes were full of interest,
as the two childrenapproached her.
•Well,' she exclaimed, sharply, trying
in vain to make her voice less harsh ;
•what do you want *'
•Is this the way to Marchmont
Grange ?' Zoe asked.
Tbe girl laughed scorn full v, and
dashed the clustering hair from her
eyea. 'ry
•I say, mother,' she cried, mockingly,
•here are twe ladies who have lost their
way. Do you know the place they
want ?'
•Wait a moment, Meg, don't frighten
the poor mites,' one of the women an
swered, and wringing tbe linen she was
washing she spread it upon the grass,
and hurried towards them.
With arms akimbo she scanned the
children closely for several seconds.
•What are you doing here ? Why
are you alone ?' she asked.
Zoe smiled, and drew Fay into great
a er prominence by, one swift jerk.
| wanted vjo for a walk by our
sHyfes but now I %on*t know which is
our road; could you show us ?' she said,
gravely.
•Which way did you come ?'
•[Through the woods.'
The gipsy hesitated, and for a mo
ment tier envious glance was riveted
hpin tbe beautiful coral necklaces and
shining gold bracelets worn by the little
sisters. That look soon changed to an
expression of gentle compassion.
•You ought not to have come out a
lone ; you might have been robbed and
murdered in that lonely wood. Hurry
back now, there's dear children, or
yonr mother will break her heart at
your loss.'
•Are we to go again through the
woods ?' Zoe asked, pathetically.
'l'm afraid so ; I don't like your go
ing by yourselves, but there's no help
for it. Run off, dears, it is getting
late.'
They turned to obey her, but Fay
started back with a stifled shriek,cling
ing with all her force to Zoe.
•Oh, Zoe, take him away—he will
bite me!'
The cause of her distress, a hungry,
ragged-looking dog, came nearer and
sniffed their dainty dresses, then gazed
up into 2pt's face with a word of gen
tleness In nis big eyes.
'Dear doggie 1 See, Fay, dearest, he
won't hurt you—he is quite good,' Zoe
said, soothingly, and she laid her hand
caressingly on the dog's big head.
•Rags never hurt a child in bis life,
forget you in a hurry.'
Rag wagged bis tail,and gazed know
ingly from bis mistress to tbe smiling
child. As Zoe dragged rather then led
Fay away, the gipsy looked after them
kindly.
'I hope no harm will come to them,
pcfor pretty creatures ! Their mother
must be grieving even now at their ab
sence. Hallo ! where's Rags ?'
Meg laughed, and pointed to the lane
where two tiny forms were hastening—
after them, near, yet keeping out of
sight, followed a large dog, which the
gipsy recognized as Rags.
'HfV jncire thoughtful than I,' she
muttered as she turned aside. 'No
harm can happen (o them whilst Rags
keeps them company.'
Zoe was glad when she found Kags
had gone with them ; lie guessed so
cleverly which way to go, and the
easiest spot for them to pass, that the
road seemed twice as short.
Once they met a wretched tramp,who
fixed his eyes so greedily upon the chil
dren's rich clothes, that Fay uncon
sciously cried aloud; a savage growl
from Kags, and the flash of his fierce
tangs was enough to send the man on
ward, muttering vengeance against the
faithful boast.
They were very tired and hungry
when l hey at length reached March
mont Grange, but their appearance
caused intense joy in the house.
'You naughty, darling children 1'
Mrs. Marchmont exclaimed, catching
them in her arms and kissing the pretty
pale faces over and over again, 'What
anguish you have given me ! Never,
never go away like that again.'
'We were all right, mamma,' Zoo
said calmly ; 'and dear old Kags knew
the way quite well. May we keep
him V
4 lf you like, darling.'
But to this notion Kags noisily re
belled. After eating a hearty meal,and
having licked the children's hands in
farewell, he whined pitiously to be set
tree.
'lt is no use, we must let him go,'
Mrs. Marchmont said; but before open
ing the door she fastened a handsome
collar around bis shaggy throat, and to
this attached a purse well filled with
gold. On a slip of paper was written :
'With love and gratitude from Zoe
and Fay.'
ou may bo sure the gipsies wero
not displeased when Bags came home,
and Meg's mother could not help feel
ing glad she had resisted her first im
pulse to rob the children instead of
sending them back in safety, as she
eventually did.
SO.MK RAILWAY HUMOR.
A Compilation of Jokes, Good, Had
and ludlflerent-
Our most celebrated living art critic,
Mr. Raskin, has a very strong objec
tion to the railway being carried
through any district where there is ex
ceptionally beautiful senery; and yet a
railway and its stations do not of ne
cessity disfigure the landscape; indeed
there are many pretty railway stations
dotted here and there over the country.
It may be, however that most of the
whole number are anything but pleas
ant places, and it may be concluded
that very few of them are places calcu
lated to giye much amusement. Still,
there is none which may be said to
supply both of these requirements. A
house near to it was advertised as an
eligible summer residence, on both of
the aoove mentioned accouuts. "It
commands," said the advertisement,
"not only a view of the pretty little
railway station, but also of the peoile
who miss the (trains." Thus beauty
and amusement.
Railway plant is uot very suggestive
of humor. Such of the drolltry as one
comos across is almost as heavy and
quite as lumbeisorae as the greater
part of the plaut itself. Surely it must
have a serious travail of the uiind to
bring to light such a conundrum as the
following; "Why is a locomotive en
gine like a comet V Because it Las a
head-light auu carries a long train."
Of course there are worse jokes, even
off the line, but one does not ofteu
meet with them. A New York paper
is guilty of perpetratlug the following:
' A Western iailroad company is seri
ously thinking of calling its main road
"The Primogeniture Route," because
it is the heir line."
A very fair attempt at a joke of the
! lugubrious kind was once committed
by a guard on one of the short midland
lines. The company was very [small
and very poor, and it was just a little
more than they could do to make ends
meet at the yearly day of reckoning.
There were not many conveniences for
the passengers, and indeed they .were
not quite so much cared for as the
goods in the wagons that were fixed up
with the carriages. As for the guard
ats ome of the stations on the line he
was ticket clerk, station-master, pas
senger porter, and goods-porter all in
OD6.
Just before leaving the junction on a
certain day, a fussy passenger called
him to the window. "Look here,
guard," he said ; "why don't you have
foot-warmers in these carriages ? We
shall get our death of cold."
"Well, you see," responded the
guard, "one of the directors is a doc
tor,another is a chemist, and another
is a'.tombstone mason; and you know
in this woild people must live and let
live. So you see,"
"All right, guard; go ahead. You
ought to have had another director a
coffin-maker, and then we could have
got a special catastraphe for the benefit
of the directorate.
"W9 aveh a coffin-maker amongst
them, sir ; but I thought it would be
too suggestive to mention him."
"Ah, well, it is rather suggestive,"
said the passenger. "So what do you
think of au accident, for the express
benefit of your mixed lot of directors ?
"Express, did you say f" asked the
guard. "Ah, you have not been on
this line before; or you would not talk
like that. Why, sir, we dout [go fast
enough to come to any harm, even if
we ran off the lines; and as for a colli
sion, tbat is au impossibility, for our

twisted cylinder mid ft broken wheel.

I'KAIsK.
Perhaps men are more deficient in
this exercise than anythinff thing else
it becomes us to render to God. Pray
er is something we are impelled to by
the very unbearablenesa of our circum
stances at times, and always by our
felt wants. Non praying men ejaculate
a prayer often in their extremity ; it is
rare, however, to hear them say,
"Thank God." How surprised as well
as grieved we should be, if we could
for a little while, from a heavenly
standpoint observe tlio stream of
thought and word that constantly flows
from earth to heaven. Would it not
be a decidedly muddy stream, (colored,
as it would be, by the murmurings, the
cursings, the lusts that till so large a
place in earth's daily life V How small
would bo the proportion of that stieam
which consisted of the pure waters of
love, thankfulness and praise. Vet
who does not perceive, that In greater
volume, a hundred fold, than thesmoke
that rises from the multiplied Urea of
busy earth, should be the blessed cloud
of iucense from praising hearts V
We do not esteem that fiietul very
highly who brings us nothing but a
constant succession of complaints, who
never comes to say, " I enjoyed your
last kind visit." 4 Thank yon for
your gift, it helped me so much," but
repeats the story.of old woes, or dis
courses on some new, real or fancied,
sorrow that I.as come into his life. It
seems right and fitting to us that ac
knowledgment should be made of b'ess
ings we have bestowed, and we place
that nature low down in our estima
tion which can not perceive the obliga
tion. There are such men with whom
the law of life is, "Take all, give back
little or nothing." And sad to say,
tlie Chief Giver of .ihe universe expe
riences just tills treatment at the
hands of yery many men and women.
We arc not deficient [in piayer, after
a certain fashion, but we are woefully
deficient in thegrare of praise. It was
a prominent characteristic of the early
Christians that they "ate their food
with gladnesa and singleness of heart,
praising God." It would be a blessing
of the first magnitude if lids same
spirit was present in every modern
Christian breast. When shall we ar
rive at that point, in a Godly life, that
the most common thought of the heart
shall be, not, "It is too bad," or "It
is a great pity," but "Praise God."
That is what the heavenly mind will
produce, that is what you ought to aim
at.
But, some say. in order to praise we
must haye something to praise for, and
how can a heart that is burdened fail
to utter a groan, rather than a word
that implies pleasure ? Notice that in
their mental exercises men ofteu act
as if they had two eyes with seperate
and distinct functions, the one capable
of seeing only that which is pleasant,
the other adapted to seeing only the
disagreeable. Now in exercising this
power, we are accustomed to close one
eye whenever we use the other, so that
unmingled sadness or unmingled jiy is
the felt emotion filling the soul. This
is the secret of your being unable to
praise God heartily in the worst day
your life has ever brought you. It is
not that you have nothing to praise for,
but your door of happiness you
have closed, while you have opened
wide the opposite door. Have you
never felt rebuked when you have gone
to the bedside of pain and have been
greeted wiih a smile V Perhaps that
very morning the temporary disap
pointment of a shower had driven from
your face its smiles, and from your
heart the thought of praise.
Can the poor rheumatic sing,
"Praise God from whom atl blessings flow,"
while you cau walk, and run, and even
dance, think you are too much afflicted
to sing any song of joy ? Thus do oth
er people's sorrows shame us in our
fancied troubles.
In this department of the Christian
life, as in all other departments, we
ought to be learners. Learn to pmse !
Why that ought to be spontaneous
and absolutely free-hearted. Yes, it
will be when you have planted the
spring of praise deep in your nature
and have learned to keep your heart's
door of blessing always open. Do yon
teach the voice to sing, and can you
not teach the heart the language of
praise ? In vain shall we attempt to
please God perfectly while our devo
tions consist iu a constant repetition,
•Grant, Lord—Grant, Lord,' while we
forget to say, 'Thanks and praise unto
thee for thy many mercies.' The
characteristic of heaven as it is revealed
to us is praise. Let us wake up to the
fact how far we are from heaven, if
this i 9 not the characteristic of our life.
Whither are you going, brother V If
you are nearing a land of spices, you
should be able to catch some of its per
fume on the breezes that eume from its
shores, and should have the heart to
say,' How glad lam for thi9 lefresh
ment I' To sing, 'Nearer to Thee' is
one thing, to have the experience is
quite another thing. Warbling is not
always praising. We have many war
blers, how many of them are praising
hearts ? Count that day a dark one,
and an unworthy one, in which your
thoughts haye not mounted to the
throne of God laden with the sweet in
cense of praise.
A True Picture.
The woids quoted below were written
2450 years ago. Is there anyone who
will read such an accurate description
of man and say that the words are not
inspired ? With all the accumulated
wisdom of modern times we do not be
lieve that such a perfect picture of hu
manity could be drawn.
—"There is none upright among men;
they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt
every man his brother with a net.

•'The best of them is a briar: the
most upright is sharper than a thorn
hedge. * * * *

What ia calloil tho Tombs consists of
tlireo prisons. Tlio oldest one is tlio
plnco where crirailia's of the most burd
ened sort are kept. it is u long, high*
narrow dungeon with four rows of cells,
one above tlio other, and numbering
144 altogether. A box stands at the
main entrance and an armed guard pro
tects It. Inside two other guides are
stationed. A winding staircase leads
to the top of the building, connected
with a platform at every floor which t x
tends all around the tier of cells. The
ilrst floor is used entirely for maniacs
and condemned persons. The right
side has borne for many years the title
of 'Murderers' How.' I'added cells for
persons inflicted with homicidal mani
acs, a hospital cell where sick persons
are treated, and a penitentiary cell for
disciplinary cases occupy tho rest of the
floor. On the second tier criminals
whoso offenses are serious but not of
tho capital grade are kept. These are
felons of all kinds. Above them are
misdemeanants. When the old Toiubs
is full, it will hold 2NS persons. Its
usual census contains about J3O names,
It is doubtful if A i;ity prison could be
conducted on a better or more humane
principle than prevails here. The dis
cipline is necessarily strict but not se
vere. All the work is done by the con
victs who are there for comparatively
light offenses,usually ten-day prisoners.
These are permitted to take the Hi at
'help' at the tables and allowtdtoeat
in comfort. As they could have no
possible desire to run away, their term
b"ing short and the penalty of attempt
ed escapes bting severe, they roam a
bout doing t heir work without much in
terference.
As in almost all prisons, so in the
Tombs, there are persons wearing the
prison garb who are not in actual con
finement. I saw an old woman there
who was arrested 20 years ago. She is
now a confirmed rheumatic, all bent
with age and pain and scarcely able to
get In and out of the invalid chair
where her days and nights were spent.
Her face has drawn tranquil and bene
ficent in its expression. Years ago she
committed a great crime to save her
husband from disgrace. The jury re
fused to convict her and disagreed. She
stayed on iu the Tombs, gradually se
curing the confidence of the keepers un
til she lost sight of her friends—or tliey
lost sight of her. She made herself use
ful to the matrons and declares now
that her last days, albeit three feet of
rock separate her from freedom, are the
happiest she has ever sjient.
An old silver.headed man is there,
too, whose step and bearing have not
lost their dignity despite his suffering
and laborious work. He looks as if he
might be eighty years old, but the keep
er told me that he was scarcely sixty.
No one knows mucli about him now ex
cept good old Matron French, who has
been there thirty-six years, (and they
say the Tombs is not a healthy place),
and Deputy Warden Finley, whose rec
ord is nearly as long. Tliev never an
swer questions noout the old man. for
they would not hurt the old man's feel
ings for the world. I heard, however,
that ho had killed a man at the behest
of n human tigress many years ago.
This old man was tried and convicted.
He got a new trial and was reconvicted
and got a reversal again. He has never
since been tried and there lie remains,
sad, bowed, but still showing traces of
itis former grace and strength, sawing
and cutting and driving nails,while his
heart istieingtorn with the teeth of a
relentless memory.—A*. I*. Tribune.

"Yes, I'm from Dakota," he said
meekly, as he got into conversation
with a man on an Eastern train.
"Ah, is that so ? lum thinking of
going out there myself to invest in
some farming land."
"We have sonio very fine land."
"So I understand, but are not some
of the stories they tell of its fertility
exaggerated V"
"Why, my friend I am sorry to say
some of them aredownrighc untrutns."
"Thai's what I thought. Now what
is the most remarkable instance of the
fertility of Dakota soil which evei
came under your observation ?"
"Well I believe the case of my pump
might go at the head of the list."
"What was it ?."
"I dug a well about forty feet deep
the first season I was there and put
down a wooden pump. It happened it
was made out of a small Cottonwood
log which was a little green and the soil
at the bottom of that well, forty feet
from the surface, was so fertile that the
pump took root, and it also grew up
and branched out, and now while my
children play in a swing attached to
one of the brandies I pump water
through the hole which still remains
in the trunk."
