SHIRLEY'S VACATION.
" MWlat amuses yon, BhhlfT?" asked

from his big ledger And saw sniila oa
the bor'i fa opposite,
"I I jut laadd a fiTe-ponnd ban,"

Urn ah 1 Did it pull rery hard f
Fearfal !" auid Shirler.
All tUrough the Yar Shirley Holmes
Lad beeu Tiug the money for hi trip.
He wan ahtast bookkeeper for Brown
Uroa. k Bridges' wholesale house, on
West Pearl street, wher ha had bea
sine graduating from the commercial
eollege, two years before.
Shirley was an orphan. The small
means left him by his parents had been
exhausted before his education had bees
completed, so that his first year's tar
ing had Ken used to repay money ad
vanced him by an uncle to complete hia
course.
His savings this year ha was investing
in building-stock with the exception of
SI weekly which he put asida for bo
other purpesa than a trip to the baas
streams of the Allegha&iea. He was
very fond of fishing, and had been reck
oned an expert as a boy. He had not
taken a day off ?inio he left school, asd
ho felt that a holiday was his due. j
All through tha dark winter days, as
he pondered over tha long rows of fig
ures, he paused now aad then to bum
for a moment of green mountains, bin
.-kiea, clear, rushing water, and to fesl
ia imagination the tug and swish of tha
trout line and the rapid click of the ran
nisg reel Then hia eyaa would sparkla
for a moment and ha was no longer ia
tha dim and dusty little office.
But only for a moment, for tha long ;
iolmnms of figures were waiting, and j
. Hurley had a feeling of friendliness for j
them, knowing that it was tareng b their !
mute assistance that hit dream would b
realized. j
All through the Spring and early !
Summer he pondered over the big book j
and thought of tha cool mountains. Ha j
had asked for his vacation in August, j
and hia request had been granted. He j
had calculated that tha 152 would pay j
hia expenses. He had figured it oat
over and over, and he knew the items
by heart. j
There were excursion rates to tha
mountains, and hit round-trip ticket
womld cost him SIX Then there was
hit board at a farmhouse, which he cal
culated at f 20. He could get a good j
rod, reel and line for $10, and for gen
eral items ha allowed aa much mora
" I think that will cover everything "
he said to himself. ' I shall begin to
;et my things together to-morrow, and
a week I will be oa tha way."
That night, at they closed tha books
ha head bookkeeper said t aim:
" Shirlev, have vou been to see Ever
tt Harris" lately r
"No," said Shirlev, guiltily. "Bat I
will go to-night How ia ha f
"Not very well, poor fellow. Ha
doeaa't improve vary much, Taa afraid.
The city now is to h ;t, yon know, aad
the doctor aeys the dust aad smoke are
bad for aim, Ha coughs a good deal,
and yon know what that leads to."
"Yes," said Shirley, feeling as if a
pressure was on aia lungs. I should
think so."
Everett Harris hal been their ship
ping clerk. He was a tender hearted,
good natured fellow, whom Shirley had
always liked for bis outspoken, friendly
way. He was not Tory strong, however,
and one day during tha winter had con
tracted a severs cold, terminating in
pneumonia. This attack ho had over
come, but it had left hist vary weak, and
with a disagreeable cough
Hi mother, a widow with a small
pension, had found it a hard matter to
live without her son's assistance,
although Everett's employers had gea
erously assumed his drug and doctor
bills, while employees, from time to
time, ffut or c.vriel such books and
V.K.ieies as he could eajoy.
Shii-'.ey had visited Everett Tery reg
t.!w1v nail the latt few weeks, during
" Lich time the prospects and prepara
for LIj oatiag had occupied his
a'-noit to tha exclusion of
vcriius- el-o, and what with reading
oa the dilforent streams and fishing
i ""pai-itus ho had forjrotten poor Ev

Tor Everett," ha thought, "sick
cooned up in tha city, while I am
.n; a for a taonta in the mountains,
.. hero I forest all about him. How
v.iSih pepla are, anywayl
Y-y and by, he rlimbed three flights
rf stairs to a clo.o little flat where Mrs,
li.-.viis and her son livfld. Yes, it was
l"nl there for a sick man, Shirley
thought bad enough for a well one this
hot weather, there was no doubt of it
nnd on po More he thought of the cool
mountains and the dashing river where
he was going.
Everett was overjoyed to see him, aud
the tender-hearted follow choked a lit
tlo as he thanked him for the fruit
M.irley sat down by him and felt re
inorieful. Thev talked of matters at
ttia htore, and the spirits of both rose as
Shirley told some amusing things that
had happened latoly.
"Youkuow young Bridges is doing
-oar work," he aid, laughing.
Yes, you told rce," replied Everett,
T.itlt a little figh.
Well, he doesn't like it very well,
but hia fit her wouldn't get anybody in
yonr plane. He said Charlie could just
as woll do it till yon came back. He
had lot of trouble at first, but gets
sloir pn-tty wil now. He's not a bad
f 'liow, either, but an awfnl dandy
venr a silk ha and patent leathers "
"Ye, I kn w ; and I recollect ne
!-e fell down in the mud and came into
thu oSice nearly crying."
Ym we'.l and y oa know big Roger,
th dray ut a ?"
h, y ; F. ,r has been to see mo
t'. i.n. The lait time he brought mo a
aanaars over a foot long. His wife
mad it, aud thought it would do me
good."
b.iirley laughe.t t' t":e idea or sau'a'!!
f it a si -a di tt till tiia Uai-a oauie.
" I suppose yoa tlie sar.aages ?" Ls
paid at la"t.
Xo, I'm keejia2 it for next winter."
" tout I was goiu to tell you about
Ciarlie Bridges," said Shirley. "The
other evening lloer was waiting for
him to make out some shipping re
etU, and went over in the corner
where it's rather dark, you know, to sit
dow on the stool there. Well, just as
lie plumped himself down, he felt some
thing pop up and squash under him,
uud jumped up like he was shot
It was Charlie's silk hat Everybody
1 visaed except Eogtr and Charlie,
llojnr was awfully sorry and offered to
pay for it while Charlie shed tears but
refused the money. The beys liked
hiai the better for that and he and
Koger are as good friends as ever.
Everett lau;,hed so heartily that he
began coughing in a way that cut Shir
ley to the heart Hia mother brought
him some water, aad, when his cough
was quieted, Shirley had gTown grave
and silent
-What is the doctor doing for yonT"
he aiked, after a long pause.
" Not much, now," said Everett a lit
tle sadly. -He aays I need freaa air
moat, and that if I could get streigta
my cough would stop. "
Shirley eoatinued to look grave, and
ofiered no reply.
"I must try and get back to work by
September," continued Everett "Just
think I kava lost eight whole months.
It ia terrible r And tears stood in the
poor fellow's eyes.
Where would you go for an outing,
old man V asked Shirley after a pause.
" Oa, I don't know! I haven't consid
ered it Almost any place ia the
country where I could get away from
this amoke and have freak air. Yes,
there is a place," he added. "It's where
we used to live before we cams to the
city," nnd h glanced quickly at bis
mother, who bent low over her sewing
and did not seem to be listening. ' I
should like to go there," he continued.
" It is about fifty miles north of here,
and there are nice woods aad a little
stream where I used to catch perch and
chub. I should like to go there again
and fish. I know people there, too,
and dont believe it would cost mors
than SIS a month for board." And the
sick man's eyes shone at the thought of
Lis old village and the stream with its
perch aad chub.
An hour before SI irley weald have
laughed scornfully at such sport, but
he did not laugh aow. Pretty soon he
said good-night to Everett and his
mother aad walked home under the
street lamps, thinking.
That night when he got to his room
Le made a new calculation. It ran as
follows:

Shirley Holmes never spent a hap
pior month in hia life than that which
he spent with Everett aad hia mother at
Pokeville. Everett seemed to get bet
ter from tha first day, and before the
niAnta was over was thoroughly himself
again.

frioada, while the young men spent
vhols days in the woods, sometimes

At one exriuity of the Ion.; crejeeut in
which Honolulu nestles timid her groves
of cocoanut palms aud banana, riaes
precipitously the yellow and rd steep of
Diamond Head, and on the other ranges
into far distance a lofty line of xak,
lifted from the bottom of the sea by somo
ancient and stupendous telltirio spasm.
The golden Siei ra fades n way into a ri.lgo
of rose aud violet auitM the horizon,
where the sapphire of the Pacific bleuJs
with the tu:quoie of the sky. The
uortheust tra.le wind which was Mowing
in a lively way outni le i quite shut off
from our ni:cluRige by tin se lofty moun
tains, rising to 4,0ot feet of elevation and
upward, mo tltat the good ship Belyic
rides quietly outside the reef to a single
cnhle. The rhnnnel is narrow by which
the quiet inner liarlior ia reached and we
bIimII uot enter, but there ia pleuty of
water there, as is evidenced by the
United States steamer Charleston, an
iron-clad of the second-class, which is
moored itbiti uuder the very plumes of
the cocoanut grove.
Honolulu, from the sea, looks like a
smaller town than she really is, being so
much buried in swvrs and gardens; nor,
indeed, st biggest does she number mors
than 33,000 citizens, the entire Und con
taining no more than 81, 1M inhabitants
and the w hole group about 89.000. Of
tlies about 33.000 are natives. 15,000
Chinese, 13,000 Japauese and 8,670 Portu

1,938 and the English l,84t There are,
betide, over 1,000 Germans scattered

men a mixed population, amid which
Uie indigenous Kauaka race, which welt

sadly and steadily decreasing. That
this paradise of the Pacific) is not with- j
out its drawback the voyager is griev- i
ously reminded as he approaches Dia- ;
moud Head round into the auchorage
of Honolulu. Broad on the port siJe of j

Said an Englishman, "I will give a
price of one hundred dollars to any one
w ho can prove that tlie expression 'don't
you know or, ss it is often rendered,
doncherknnw,' was ever used in Eng
land by an Englishman ; the phrase had
ita origin in Philadelphia, where it is
much hi vogue, because certain dudes
there believe it ia English. No English
man ever says 'Don't you know.' The
expression he does use is 'You know,'
such sj 'I'm going up to London, you
know, to get me new trousers, you know.'
This may l a startler for certain young
men w ho, by dint of great practice, are
able to interject 'doncherknow at about
every ten words in their conversation,
I'm very sorry to hurt their feelings. "

Green rose have been known in tha
vicinity of Philadelphia for probably a
century. There is no difference theoret
ically la tweeu the petals of a rose and a
rose I ht, aud the transformation of one
to the other is very easily accomplished.
A green rose, therefore, is nothing more
than a rose iu which, in forming the
flou er, the roae has persistently r fused
ti ullow ita leaves to be transformed to
petal. they still continue a leaves. Tlie
petals of the gTeen rose sre, therefore,
notl.ing more than green leave. O tit
aide of its interest assUowingthe relation
between leaves und flowers, there is no
inteie-t in the greeu roe. Certainly tt
has no beauty.
