You've leen a friend so tried and true, It is so lont? since you were new. That scarce a tear I can suppress To say good-by, my old brown dress. Poor old brown dress, poor old brown dress. You've many wrongs, but no redress; You've learned (like many mure, no doul.ti To always wear your "host side out." Hut now, alas! 'tis all In vain; You'll b;ii(u.' in sunshine ne'er again; You're trimmed with fringe that's uot enough, I'll give you still this parting puff. A varied life you've had, old d For many timet you've gone to press. leen memled, turned and ripped apart. Have known th skilled ilrc-.-f maker's art. And once you dyed, but looked so new That no one near me knew 't was you. While doubtless you ' laughed in your sleeve " To see how color could deceive. Dear old brown dress, dear old brown d ress. I smooth your folds with tenderness, So much ha.s happened since the time I worn you in your lustrous prime. The treasured friends who knew me then Have passed beyond "our mortal ken." I call them, but they do not coma ; Their hearts are cold, their lips are dumb. And now good-by, old threadbare, dress, How long I've worn you none can guoss. You'll now be laid upon the shelf, J ust as I isoon must be myself. I'm but a speck upon the tide The human stream is deep and wide And yet I know whate'er befall A watchful Father tees it all. I New York Star. TWO KISSES. " Madam, will you give me something to cat?" " Something to eat?" repented th lady, a kind-looking matron of about thirty five, who had come to the door on teeing a stranger approach, and east a (,'iicit comprehensive glance over his jcion and attire. " ( h. yes," she added. ' Conic in." "Who i it. mamma?" asked p ptiia eager voice, as a pretty child r f six Milli liters came from an Inner room. Only a poor man. dear, who Trciu'.i something to ent," replied the lady. There :.' ".v!" she continued, placing a wi-'J-i'ill. ! tray upon the table. "Sit down and help yourself." .' The stranger obeyed. A few w. ids would have told his story. The only child of wealthy parents, Halph NVentworth had livi.nl to tha age of twenty in ease and luxury. Ho had graduated with a fair record from college, but with no marked pro clivities for any art or calling, savo the very agreeable and congenial one of en Joying the good things of life. Within a week after the brilliant festiv ities that had celebrated his majority, his father had fallen dead In the street from a paralytic btroke, leaving the family penniless. In a week mora his mother had sunk to the grave; and tho petted indulged boy was left to face the world alone, with no resources save tho few pounds that remained of his father's birthday gift. With the first shock of bereavement over, friends clustentl around him, ready to advise and eager to assist in th spending of his little patrimony. '1 hat once gone, his friends went also. Ralph made a few ineffectual efforts to obtain some employment. Hut w here the heir of prospective thou sands had been met with smiles and affa bility, the impecunious young man now encountered supercilious looks and in credulous shrugs. Finally, tilled with misanthropic dis gust aeain.-t these summer friends, he had resolved to quit England, and go he cared not where. On the morning after coming to this decision, while glancing aimlessly over a paper, his eye fell upon an item tlesorili iijij the licovery of gold in California. In an instant his resolve was formed, lie would go there. If his strength gave out before the goal was reached, so much the t etter; no one would euro, no one would miss him. It was in this mood that ho had made his l!r.-t request for a meal, for the last few pennies of his slender funds had bought him a meagre dinner the day be fore. And as he now sat eating, a sudden rush of emotion came over him, and forced a sigh from his lips. " What mnkos you feel so bad?" The little earnest voice, breaking In upon his painful reverie, aroused hiru w ith a start. Seated in a little rocker, which she was gently swaying to and fro, with her hands folded in her lap, and her sweet wistful eves fixed with a searching yet sympathetic gao upon him, was the child whoso presence he had entirely for gotten. Her mother had left the room tempo rarily, and ho had thought himself alone. " Why do you think I feel bad, little one?" " Because your face looks so sad, and you don't eat anything hardly; ami you almost cried just, now," replied the little creature; "don't you feel happy?" ""ot very happy, child that Is a fact." And another elgh finished the sen tence. "Are you a bad man?" was the next question. A half smile parted Ralph's paid lips. " Why do you ask m that?" be) res ponded. " Because mamma says that people ral good people, I mean are always happy, and that they only feel Bad when thoy do something wrong." "I suppose mamma is right," said Ralph, nighing. " And yet I am not a bad man, little one; only a foolish one." "I am foolish sometimes, and a little bad, too," said the little? creature, shak ing her head with a serious air. "And then mamma tells me to sit down In my chair and think about It; and by-and-by I feel rcry sorry, ami look sad like you do now. I inu't you feel 6orry you was so foolish?" " Indeod I do, my child," said th young man with involuntary earnest ness. " But toll me," he added. In terested by her artless prattle, "what do you do then?" " I tell mamma how sorry I am; and then she kisses me, and I feel better. " Haven't you got any mamma or any friends to kiss you?" "No, little one. My mother ia dead, and my friend are all gone." The child pondered for a moment. "That Is too bad !" she exclaimed. Then 6he added : " Will it make you feel better if I kiss you?" Yes, I think so. I am Bure it will." "Well, I will kiss you." And, rising from her chair, the child stepped to his side and kissed him. " Now you won't be foolish any more, will you?" she asked. " Indeed I will try not to Iwj !" was the earnest answer. "God bless you, little one I That Is tho sweetest kiss I have had since my mother died ! How I wish I had a dear little friend like you." " I will be your Irlend," said the child. " And wait a moment, I will get you something." Darting away from his side, she felt the room, returning in a few minutes with a small parcel in her hand. " See here," she said, opening It upon his knee. "Papa had my picture taken on some cards the other day, and he gave me this one to do just what I pleased with. He wrote my name on it : 'Maude Evelyn Granger.' "I will give it to you, and when you look at it you can 'think of your little friend, and that she wants you to be good." "But will your mamma letyouglvo this to mo?" asked Ralph with some misgiving. "Oh yes! I asked her just now. I told her I wanted to give you something to make you feel happy, and she said, ' Very well, dear.' Now you'll have ono friend, won't you?" "Yes," said the young man, taking her eoft little hand in his. "And if I should come back again some of these days, and tell you that I have been ri al good, and not foolish any more, w ill you kiss me again?" "To be sure I will!" At that moment the returning foot steps of the lady were heard and Ralph arose, hat in hand. "I thank you kindly, madam, for your hospitality," ho said. He pressed "little Mamie's hand In a close, lingering clasp, raised his hat to his benefactress, and left the house. . . Five years had passed, finding Ralph Wentworth still working as a common laborer at the mines. Every evening when his work wt ended, he would wanderoff to som- - eluded spot, then drawing a littl- pack age front his pocket, gaze long tnd earnest I v at the pictured face it con tained. Frti-nl, rdstoTrdoti,, and Be'.f-derying as a hermit, Ms life appeared to have in it littlo f e'lvy. But he had a g.-.U f ire hU mental ision of which l.i-ey I; n.-,v li jl'i'.ii.-- a r.f-al to the atiaifii "i.t if v.hi-i. .-i ,-i-y dollar of his hard -earned n aires, ivcry energy of his !ife, were devote, 1. Although apparently lost to the world Without. Ralph was not forgi '.ten. One day a letter came for him; a thick cumbrous-looking envelope, dir ected in a lar:'e spraw ling hand. In tho solitude of his lit lie cell-like room, lie opened It, and his pale cheek flushed with a look that was ecstasy. Then passed tea years more. t;-'" . The brilliantly lighted parlors of Mrs. Remington's handsome mansion were tilling fat with guests, when theho-.tess came forward to welcome a new comer a lovely girl of twenty years, who was entering, accompanied by a gentleman, evidently her father. "Oood evening, my dear Maude!" she exclaimed, with a rapturous little squeeze of her hand. "I have delight ful news for you and all the idl er marriageable young ladies who will be here to-night !'" with a gay laugh. "I am to have among my guests to night no less a person than Mr. Went worth, that elegant young man 1 call bitn voting, for he is only thirty-five . w ho has been winning so mnny !miu1s. "He's splendid-looking man, thev say. and immensely rich owns minim? property. Ho is home for a -diort vi.-it. and I"j secured him for tei-night. I will be sure to sectwa you an introduc tion to him." I'o," replied Mrwde. smiling. Thn she passed oa to another part of tho room. Half an hour later there was a slight bustle at the door, and a ripple of ex pectancy among the guests. Maude, w ho happened to bo standing where she had a view of the entrance, perceived a tall elegant gentleman bend ing over the hand of Mrs. Remington. At tho next moment he raised his head to glaneo over the company, and their eves met. Was it laiiey, or did a fleeting emotion cros his face a look of surprise, almost gladnes.-, light up his fine eyes? Maude was sure she had never met him before, and yet. as she returned his gaze for a moment, a feeli' g' as of half-forgotten memory cnmo oyer her. Twenty minutes later, a-, Ni.tiide stood conversing v,i; h her partner. Mr.. Rem ington's vi lice greeted her ear: Maud my love.

He did call, many time ; and atlencrth, ono evening, hesaid in the course of a long and earnest conversation : "Miss Granger, ever since our ac quaintance began, I have been wanting to tell you a story. Let mc tell it now.'7 Drawing his chair closer to wdiere she sat, Ralph Wentworth began a tale with most of which the reader Is familiar. Then, continuing, he said : " One day there came to that young man a letter containing the notice of ia bequest of four thousand pounds from a distant relative, lately de-eased. "The money, w ith w hat he had saved in those five years, completed the pur chase of a claim that was the beginning of his fortune. Step by step he mounted the ladder of life once more, until he gained commanding wealth, influence, friends, and, better than all, a clear and honorable record. " 'men he came back to his native city, to find her who had been his good angel all those years. "Perhapsshe had forgotten theman to whom her swoot childish sympathy had been a talisman and a blessing, for he had not even t-old her his name; but something whispered to him that ho would find her again and find her heart-free. "Maude." ho continued, taking the hand that trembled in his clasp, 'through all those years that Innocent kiss of a warm affwtionato heart has lain pure upon my lips, the solace of my lonely life. Temptations I had many, but that littlo face was present with me always. I could not look into those pure eyes and sin ! " On the day when her little hand pointed out the way to a better life, she promised that if I came back acaln, and could say to her that I had tried to fLo my duty, to be a good and useful man, she would kiss me again. I have kept my faith; have earnestly striven to re trieve youthful folly that had not yet become rice. " And now will the woman redeem the promise of the child r Will she. raise her lips to mine In another kiss a kiss that shall tell me she will be mv life's angel my cherished and hon ored, wife?" For a moment Maude's roice failed her. Baek over the years memory swept, bringing up every detail of that memorable Interview, and she now knew the secret of the subtle sympathy which had seemed from the first to bind them together. A tew voice seemed speaking to her now, one to which her heart responded w Uh a great and solemn joy; and read iin, his answer in her face upraisml to his in one fleeting glance, Ralph Went worth drew her to him and kissed her, . .

What with my usual military duties nnd the fatigue of moving and placing things to rights. I was pretty well tired out when night came, and slept like a log. "Mv wife) was worn out, too, but did not sleep so sound as not to bo di -iit-bed eery night by what ihe Ci.'ied ' the funniest noises that sound ed just like thunder," but I paid but little attention to her thinking it was oniv tho noise of passing steamboat or "the wash of tho waters on the shore. " It might have been two weeks nf bor I had .settled down that o;.e night I awoke r:;d b.idv from a so, ml sleep with l hal peculiar feeling of ilf-ml or unea-incss upon me which ari-e im,n an unknown cause and Las been ; periene. 1 by nearly all of us. ".b.hti. do you hear It n ev!" asked !:iv wife when She discovered I was awake; "it sounds like somo persons at work below.' " Listening for a short time. I rec ogniyeil familiar sounds, and had I not been, positive that the doors were locked, with the keys hanging on a nail in my room, I would have sworn that the batteries were manned by ex poricn.red gunners. The qui' k tread of the men as they dragged the gun? In, the ring of the rammer, the handling of the shot that lay piled in readiness for Use. the return of the iron wheels over I he rails as it was run out of tho port, were perfect in every detail, only lack ing the words of command and the report of the pieco to complete the illusion. - " As I listened tho uproar increased In volume until it wa- impossible for us hear each other's voices without raising t h-vn to a high pitch. 'l iie guns were served with what seemed incredible rapidity, aid the verv walls, massive as thev were. tr. ibcd under the heavy artilierv in continual motion, while the bads were I'odmg from one end of the oaKomnts to the other, striking the sides with hgavv thuds. ' I'uahlr- to stand this stale of af fairs any longer, I arose, and. lighting my lantern, took the keys along with a loid.il revolver, and, descending the stairs as lightly as possible, reached tlio door. Th noise at this point was. If anything, more deafening than when I left my room. ' Gautiouilv in.ierting the key Into the lock, I cocked my six-shooter, and throw jug the door open smid vrilv, with rai e l lantern and weapon present,. 1, entered the nearest casement to find it unoccupied savo by the grim oil gun and the shot stacked in their usti.iI daces. ' It was tho same In every battery I entered. Not a footprint disturbed the thick dust upon the floor, nor was tiiero a finger mark upon either the. gnu or the shot. The totnplnns were in, p!ac., and no carriage had traveled over ii,,. rusty rails. Confounded even still more than I whs bcf iro. I returned to my room, and to disturbed no more that night. The raekot. however, was commenced again the following nisht, and was kept up, with slight. Intermission, for a mouth. " My account of this singular dis turbance was met with jests and laugh ter from ray fellow soldiers, which thoy modified. It is true, when I cor roborated It by my wife, but then onlv so far as to declare that it was a scheme on our part to get removed from uncomfortable quarters to ono of the new quarters then about com pleted. "Nettled at their taunts, I rowed that if ever the noises commenced again I would have other witnesses to them, and I did not have long to wait, for about one month after I wa awakened by tho phantom gunners. " This time I passed out over the drawbridge, and, going to the men's quarters, awakened a sergeant bv the name of Smith, and much against his will made him accompany me to the scene. " Afier standing listening to tho racket until Smith's face was as whit- as a sheet and he was treuiblinor from head to foot. I thr.j-v open tlio door. " Smith always declared that for a moment he saw the ghostly crew ut their placAs, but could detect nothing, nor could I ever discover any cause for thj disturbance, although "I often was awakened by the nightly drill of my invisible artillerymen. " Some months after leaving the Isl and I learned that during the Mexican war an artillery company drilled with thesr. guns some time before thev left for Mexico, and that they were nearly all killed in battle. I suppose It must have been a freak of theirs to havo their reunions in thoso casements and practice with their old friends, the guns." Minneapolis Tribune. None Of Ills KiiHineee.

Not a pleasant place to die In, and per haps it was just as well that poor Phcpbe Wells. In her restless delirium, fancied herself back in the sweet-scented orchard at home. Meanwhile a child of four years old, with his round face besmeared with dirt, and his flaxen curls tightly matted to gether with neglect, sat coiled up in a window-seat, playing with a headless wooden-horse and "tinging softly to him self. What did little Charlie "know of death? -Sere, it's wanderin' she is," said one of the womivi who were sitting in the room ; " and enough to tire the patience of 1 he blessed saints themselves, sitting here.

But still she cried, "Charlb Charlie!" and tho younger woman lifted the lit' le creature, still clinging to his wooden horse, on to the bed. Charlie opened his blue eyes and began to cry. "Mamma, what makes you look eo strange?" She drew him so close down to her with a shuddering sigh, his cheeks against hers, his tangled curls ming ling with her dishevelled blank tresses. "Oh. my baby, I cannot go and leave J-ou I cannot ! I " The death-rattle in her throat Inter rupted all further attempts at speech. There were cue or two Incoherent mur muring sounds that wa.s ail and so poor l'hu-be Wells died. They took little Charlie away bewil dered and terrified, and dispatched someone for the "pauper's cof.in," which was to enfold the poor creature's last remains.

" Yez wouldn't belav it, an' him so young," said Mrs. I 'oi.nis triumphant !y, "but he's the be-st lifter in uil tho children! See there, Mike Dooley, two haudkechers an' a snuff-box, let alone the two apples from tho peddler's stand, an' an ash-box half full of iihgai t paper-rags, (iive hint a drop o yer beer. Mike, an' ye shall have baked polatics an' pigs'-tiollers for your supper, larliut !" This was one of Charlie's lucky days. Sometimes he came homo, blue with cold, pennyless, and without booty of any kind ; and then Mrs. Dennig'wu-s as liberal In the use of the strap, and what is called "tho rough sido of her tongue," as she was in her rewards. " I'll run away when I'm big enough !" resolved the little six-year-old hero, many a night as ho lay on his ttraw p:illet. with half-a-dozen other puny wretctios as miserable as himself, watching the peaceful stars binning through tho rafters overhead. " Mrs. Dennis says my mamma's name was Bridget "Lanigan. but it wasn't; It was I ho-be! She tol l mo so oneo; and 1 had a wooden-horse to f'lay with, and I used to say my prayers at night. I can't remember 'em now; and I'at Reelan says tlny'ro all trash and and and " So little Charlie dropp-d off to sleen. a forlorn a little wretch as night brooded over with her peaceful pro tecting wings of starry darkness. B:;t Charb?y did not run away. In the first plm there was rowhre to run to, and Chailie was sufficient of a conservative to r'-iuaia quktly when ho was sure of shelter and daily bread to eat; not alwaj's that, however, unless Mrs. Dennis was-in good humor. Then, child as be wasj Lo felt himself to be a sort of pariah in th outer world, his tiny hand against every man's, and every man's ngnlnst him. Such was the state of affairs, ons De cember night, wh.-n our littlo hero came wailing home wilii purple cheeks and chilled fingers and toes, coiicious that he had nothing to plead w hy he should not be sent supperless to bed. But, to his astonishment, Mrs. Dennis was all motherly affability, and Mike Dooley himself took him between Ids knees In front of the blazing fire, and helped to chafe his hands. Mike, in general, being as brutal a ruffian as ever came in contact with tho law, Charlie could not Imagine what it all meant. "It's two old maids of 'em livin all alone," said Mrs. Dennis, resuming the conversation where it had been bn ken off at Charlie's entrance ; "and there's a closet full of old plate, an' Norah says Norah cleaned them, yez knows the staircase windy, open In' on the back street, would lot a good-sized cat In between the bars, and where a cat can go our Charlie can. Wouldn't yez like that, Charlie dear, to help crack a crib?" Charlie stared vacantly into the f re, and munched his crust of sta'e trend. "Allye'll have to do will be to creep in ntween daylight an' dark, honey, and hide away like a mouse. Norah sav.s there's an illigant place under tlm turn o' the back stairs, just where you get in a'most, and you can lie there as still as a kitten until they've gone to bed, and then, sure, it'll be atsy to steal ut and unbolt the hose-metit-d.tor, and Mike and me' I be waitin'; an' if we get what we ant. you shall have a brand-new si it of clothes, like Mickey Warren's, wid ,;ould button on I very same." Charlie's eyes brightened somewhat. "There! you see he's all right. " said Mrs. Dennis, nodding her head triumph antly at her coadjutor. "Sure it's a pleasure to dale w id the likes of him always cheerful and willln'." "Oh, stow you blarney!" contemptu ously ejaculated the less rhetorical Michael. " What's the use o' words? If he'll go, h"' go, and that's the end on't. To-morrow eight at eleven." Mrs. Dennis acquiesced. " To-morrow night, at elevnn. I'll h waiting at the comer of the street wid a cloak and a big market-basket, an' I'll seo that Charlie's there afore us." The next afternoon, jujt as tho wintry twilight was fading Into the black, ip" distiiiguisn'abln dusk, Mrs. Dennis skill fully propellwi the .".:, der. i mdiko figure f little Charlie through th nar row iron tiers of the i-tain-rase-window. She was just In time, for as she stooped again to jtoke in the depths of an old ash-Parrel with her well-worn iron hook, a 'policeman lounged round the corner of the house. "Hallo, old woman I What are you doing here?" "An' Is It the cinders ye'd grudge me?" whined Mrs. Dennis, "an' the tire going out on the hearth-stone, wid the six littleone bluewith the cold? Arrah. an its hard lines for poor folks, so it is, and Mickev McGargan, me husband, thut is " " Weil, woll, you needn't make such a noise about It," deprecated the police man striding on. And Mrs." Dennis smiled stealthily lin.i.-r her ragged red hood. Meanwhile, Charlie, obedient to orders, curled himself tip under the stairway, amid a lot of tin bath-tubs, disused furniture, and invalided sauce pans, and went composedly to sleep. How long he had slept be did not know, but the narrow stairway was lighted up by the glare of a candle when he woke, nnd a hand was ou the rugged lapels of his coat. "Why, bless me. its a child !" "Nonsense. Nancy; it s only the cat!" "I tell you it'sachild, and he's asleep." Another figure advanced Into the yellow circle of flickering light thrown by the t andlo that id a pleasant-looking woman, with a something in her fae that made Charlie's heart stand still, and brought the long disused word " mamma" involuntarily to his lips. "How on earth came you here, little boy?" she asked, little less a.-tonished than her companion bad been. Charlie glanced furtively about the room. In vain sean-h for a loophole of escape; but there was none, and Charlie had no idea of sacrificing bims.-lf for the sakes of Mother l nnis and Mike. "Mrs. Dennis pur me through the window," he whispered, "and she and Mike are coming at eleven o'clock to steal the spoons and things, and I'm to unbolt the fror.t door for 'em ; and pin t-.' inn'iiM, 1 never did such a thing before, and I'm so c.
