LOVE'S PLEASURE HOUSE.
Love built for himsel! a Pleasure House —
A Pleasure House fair to see—
Ihe roof was gold, and the walls thereof
Were delicate wvory.
Violet crystal the windows were,
Allgleaming and fa'r to see—
Pillars of rose-stained marble uphore
The house where men longed to be.
Violet, go'd and white and rose,
The Pleasure House fair to see
Did show to all, and they gave Love tuanks
For work of such mastery.
Bove turned away from his Pleasure House
And stood by the salt, deep sen —
He looked therein, and he flung therein
Of his treasure the only key.
Now never a man till time be done
That Pleasu e Houve fair to se

Or praise it on bended knee.

the less formidable Parker was a
shrewd Maine Yankee, with a total dis
belief in the ability of womankind to use
reason, and a record of some sixty years
of devotion to an earnest hustle for the
fascinating but elusive American dollar.
Nettie was the only daughter and the
youngest child in a family of seven, and
the old man, close-fisted as he was, had
spared no expense in educa'ing her
liberally. It was only natural, there

He called on Jack one afternoon, not
casually, as he nsually called, on his way
to or from town, but with a direct pur-
pose. Jack was under the weather, and
ay on the sofa. I was reading t» him
when Parker walked in.
“Howdy, Flemin'; laid up, air ye?
Howdy, Faber; purty warm, ain't it?
Thanks, I will seta spell.”” And he sat
down on the edge of a chair and began
tracing figures on the floor with his big
spur. He seemed nervous, and I rose to
leave the room, but he waved his hand
and said: *“‘Setdaown. Faber. Set still
Guess I ain't got nothin’ t’ say but what

Here the old man stiffened up in his
soat and stated the object of his mission,
in a good natured but thoroughly decided
way, closing with: :
““Naow, Fleming’, I ain't no 'bjection

Young men, with whom one is on good

Fleming sat up and ran his fingers
through his hair gravely. Then: “I
quite agree with you, Mr. Parker. 1don't
know what to say to Percy, but I will
try a little strategy and see if he can't
be kept at home more. If that don't do
I can talk to him.”
And here began my connection with
Shorty's love affair, That evening I was
writing busily when some one opened
the door of mv and walked in. It
was shorty. He sat down quietly and
took up a paper, which he looked at for
several minutes, while I seratchod away
at my work. Then he threw down the
paper suddenly, and turned to mo with:

said he, “I reckon you think I'm a
sucker. Now, honestly, what was he
horn for?”
Finally I told him about the conversa
tion between his brother and Parker.
Ho sat silent for a fow minutes. 1 could
soo his face twitch. Then he turned his
eyes to my face and said, slowly: ‘Faber,
Iknow I'm young and all that, but-I
know my own mind. Jack's a good
brother and foels in duty bound to take
care of me, but 1 guess I can "tend to

world can't stop me.” And Mr. Percival
Fleming sot his mouth hard and walked
out. He ealled at Parker's the next
evening, despite Jack's ‘‘strategy.”
There was another caller at Parker's
that evening, in the person of Morris
Cottrell, a wealthy rancher from up tho
“Five-Mi'e.” Shorty, when he got home,
mentioned this fact to me, with somo
feeling in his tones. Cottrell was no old
duffer. Ho was a man of thirty, and
well-read, and a geatieman, and the
rospect of having him for a rival would
ave sent despair to the heart of any
penniless young man less determined
than Shorty Floming.
For two or three months Shorty con.
tinued his calls at Parker's, growing
more and more gloomy and savage as the
days went by, for old Sam Parker was
something of a strategist, and managed
to keep the poor lad from getting a
single private interview with Nettie,
thereby giving Cottrell a clear field,

The old man started. “By gorry,

And they rode off, but not very rapidly.
“I told the old gentleman,” remarked
Cottrell to me, us we turned toward the

How Judges Treat Children.
There is one time when the Judge loses
all his apparent severity. It
little chiid is brought before him on
habeas corpus proceedings. Although
there is a great fondness for following
the course of the old English law, it ia
not followed in a case like this.
According to the English law a father
has the right to the custody of his chil.
without regard to their welfare,
Here, on the contrary, careful inquiry is
made to decide where the child would be
better off —with its father or with its
mother. Therefore it happens that when
there is a dispute between parents as to
the custody of a child, and one of them
gets out a writ of habeas, the lawyers
are secondary personages.
The Judge talks with the child if it is
old enough to be talked to, and finds out
as he can with which parent it
would prefer to stay. Then I talks
with the parents, and finally makes ap
his mind as to which is the proper per
son to have the charge of a little ¢hild.
It frequently occurs that in making
his decision awarding the custody of the
child, he advises the parents that it would
be much better if they could make up

mounted upon n magnificent
horse. It was the custom of war not to
hold surgeons as prisoners, and Dr. De.

meantime had taken his horse from him,
and an excited sergeant was riding it
back and forth within plain view of the
two men, about a mile away, The &ni-
mal wus clearly being abused, and when
General Baraum greeted the surgeon
with courtesy, and inquired what he
might do for him, Dr. Deshay replied,
as he pointed to the animal he had just
been riding: “That white horse, which
