Such I8 LIFE.
A little orib beside the bed,
A little face ab ve the spread,
A little frock behind the door,
A little shoe upon the floor,
A little lad with dark browa baiz,
A little blus-eyed face and fair,
A little lane that leads to sch ol,
A little pencil, slate and rule.
A little blithesome, wi some maid,
A little hand within it laid;
A little cottags, acres four,
A lit le old-time hous hold store,
A little family gtherad ronnd!
Ali tle turf-heaped, tear-dowed ground,
A little added to his soil,
A littla re t from bardest toil.
A little silver in his hair,
A little stool and vary chair;
A little night of earth-lit gloom,
A little cortege to the tomb.

“Anyhow,” said he, ‘‘she’s got a very

Mattie Vance had just come home from
a long, wet walk =ver slushy February

leaden sky.
Her room-mate, Leda Hall, was pa- |
icotly mending an old serge gown by |
the light of a kerosene lamp. Gas was
too expensive a luxury for these girls to |
induige in. Every cent counted in their
small household,
“Well,” said Leds, glancing up, *‘did

“They paid me three dollars,” Mattie
answered, in a spiritless way.
“Three dollars? But it ought to have |

“They deducted two for that flaw in |

Mattie.
“Then why did they give us the dam.

hands, despairingly. ‘Oh, the work I |
put on that silk!” :
“But that is’t the worst of it!" added |
Mattie, carefully rolling up her worn
worsted gloves, in order that they might |
present their best appearance on the next |
oocasion. ‘They have cut down their |
hands. The market is dull; there is no |
more work for us!”
Leda looked a moment at her friend.
“And that means"
“Starvation!” said Mattie, with a
mirthless laugh. ‘For we've tried every.
thing, Leda, haven't we? Unless we go
to the variety stage, or report at the

“Nonsense!” said Leda. “Girls are

“It's not a fortune, I grant you,” said
she, “but it'll tide us over shallows un-

dleful of thread with lier strong white
teeth, ‘‘what a you were to decline

Mattie rose up with unconscious dig
