    AN ANTIDOTE TO CARE.
Think that the grass upon thy grave is green;
Think that thon seest thine own empty chair;
The empty garments thou wast wont to
wear,
The empty room where long thy haunt hath
bh en.
Think that the lawne, the meadow, and the
woud,
And mountain summit fael thy fest no mora,
Nur the loud thoroughfare, nor sounding
shore;
All mere blank space where thou thysalfhath
stood.
Amid this thonghbt-created silence say
To thy stripped soul, what am I now, and
where?
Then turn and face the petly, narrowing care
Which has been gnawing thee for many a
day,
And it will d'e as diosa wailing breeze
Lost in the solomn roar of bounding seas.
[James Sm«tham.
THE TOSIGIAN'S STORY.
Yes, I don't know but what the col-
onel is right; we see some very curious
things in this profession of ours. [am
often tempted to think that it would
count of a single day's experiences and
tell all he sees without adding even a
tinge of romance. First of all the very
variety of the life has a certain charm
for the uninitiated, who have an idea
that it must be delightful to be behind
the scenes in everything, as they like to
put it. As though it was always pleas-
ant to sec things stripped of all romance,
Now, it is right there that I take issue
with what the colonel has just said. It
is not well to have everything laid bare.
I would rather have some of the gilt left
on my gingerbread. I want a little ro-
mance in mine. I would like to go all
through life and have some of the illu-
sions of youth left when I get through;
and here I am not yet thirty, not by
several years, and the few ideals that |
managed to bring with me through col-
lege have been escaping ever since so
fast that I have haraly been able to see
them go. That's why I am tempted to
quit journalism—thanks, I mean the
newspaper business, of course. Now |
have a story to tell that illustrates the
point I am making. Talking is not much
in my line, however, and I have often
thought I ought to write what I have to
say. Still, if somebody will stand a mug
of ale, I'll tell it anyway. Thanks,
Judge, here's to you, and here goes,
Well, to begin with, I suppose you
boys all remember that feliow Harrington
who died a couple of weeks ago and had
such a big fuweral. The papers gave
a good deal of space to it at the time,
for his family amount to a good deal,
even if he didn't, peace to his ashes, He
was a pretty lively youth, and they do
say that the way he made the paternal
ducats fly was a caution to fathers, and
I've no doubt he has furnished the text
for many a sermon to wayward youth
since he left us. He seta fast pace and
every one knew he couldn't keep it up
long, but he had a good time while it
lasted. The wayl came to get onto his
story was a very natural one,
The day after he died our editor called
me into his room and told me he
wanted me to do the funeral and to give
it a good write up, you know.
‘‘He never did anything particular,”
remarked the man of the shears and paste
pot, ‘*but his father was a friend of the
governor's so | guess we can stand about
half a column if you can get it in early
enough. The ceremory is at 2 o'clock.
You ean write your stuff up 1n the organ
loft, and if you have one of the boys
come up there after your copy you
ought to be able to get a goud story
down in time for the second edition.
There's nothing on the book for you
this evening, so you needn't come back
to the office.” ;
It was a great show, and I flatter
mysell that we had a fairly good account
of it that afternoon. Pretty much all of
the West End was there, and I could
have filled a half column with the names
of prominent people in the congregation
if 1 had wanted to. ;
I was through my work and had my
work on its way to the office long before
the ceremony was over, but I stayed on
because [ wanted to see just how far the
minister would go in his remarks about
the departed brother. De mortuis and
the rest of it is all well enough, but I
think they carry it too far sometimes.
Then, you know, up at that church they
have an organist who can fairly make
that big organ of his talk, and ery, too,
when he feels that way; and I like noth-
ing better than to sit up there in the
loft when he is playing away so that he
fair]y forgets that there is anyone else in
the church. After the congregation is
all gone he sits there by the hour and
plays to himself as though it was his
only pleasure and solace in life,
He's a queer old chap. 1 don't supe
pose he ever had mueh fum out of life,
ut somehow I like him, and every time
I am sent up there 10 report the Bishop's
sermons, I make it a point to stay awhile
afterward with my old friend, I could
stay there for hours and hear him talk
to me with his music. There is hardly
ever anything lively or hopeful about
it, but it touches me in some sensitive
place, and makes me feel sure that there
some story in his life. If only one
could get at it. It would make a good
special, [ know, and I am going to try
to get it, sometime. He has no family,
of that 1 am certain, but somehow he
seems to take the greatest interest in
young people, and I've noticed that hs
always played b% best at weddings, He
does not often talk much, but that day,
after every one had I him start-
ed by mking him if he known uny-
thing about the young man who was

to
in the scene to me. By the time he had
finished the church was almost dark, and
all the light there was came through the
stained glass windows and gave a melan-
choly tinge to it all. One ray from the
setting sun as it broke through the clouds
fell fair upon the old man’s head and
gilded his soow-white hair until he
looked almost young again. The lines
in his face seemed to fade away as he
talked along in his low, sweet voice,
For a time I almost forgot the reality of
| the world outside and was lost in the
enthusiasm and fervor of the old musi
cian’s story. [I can give you a pretty
good idea of what the old man said, for
time; I thought then that I would write
it up some time. But I haven't, It
would seem almost a sacrilege to treat his
ideal any less earnestly than he did, 1
couldn't write that sort of a story, any-
he told it to me.

that she was weeping and that she knew
it was not all,
I remember so well the first time that
I saw her. She was but a girl then, just
growing into womanhood, and | was one
of the musicians who played at the ball
given in honor of her first appearance in
society. Yes, she was what they call a
society girl, but she locked to me like
one who was able to lead aud not to fol
low others. Well born, rich and beaut
ful, life must have looked very fair to
her. 1 remember she was spoken of as
the most successful debutante of the sea
son. She was beautiful, of that there
was no doubt, with dark hair and eyes
that would start a man to improvising
wild and noble music, with passionate
{and tender strains, but with here and
there a jarring note, for there was some-
thing about her eyes that seemed out of
pisce—a proud, ambitious look that did
not become a young girl and that made
her look older than she really was, She
i was that sort of woman that might in

receptions and balls in the great world
ever give a thought to the musicians
sitting off by themselves and playing
for their pleasure. Do they ever realize
for a moment that we see all that goes on
about us and are the unseen audience of
many a farce and comedy and tragedy.
Many a ball room is the soene of events
that may make or mar a life, and we
musicians, left out of
screened, perhaps, behind flowers and
folinge, are often the closest and most
| interested spectators, A queer life is
| this of ours, going from house to house,
from reception to ballroom, playing our
{ no part. Yet we are always there. Dur
{ ing the gay season we may see the same
faces aguin and agwin, day after day,
| night after night, until we get to know
| them well. New faces come, familiar
| faces disappear from our view, yet many's
i the dne we follow with interest. We see
people meeting for the first time. They
talk idly for a while, dance together
and, perhaps, never see one another
iagain,. Or the following winter

well we will see the other not far away.
| Uoe can tell a great deal if one only sees
ia person's eye light up as if it sees a

all, or the friendship may ripen into
more. So the world wags, and so it
will continue to wag on long after my

time they were out of the house they came

M I hearer, when you have fought your last
battle with sin and death and hell, and they
have been routed in the conflict, it will be a
Joy worthy of celebration. You will fly to
the city and ery “Vietory!” and drop at the
feet of the Great King. Then the palm

become the outreaching tree of everlasting
rejoicing,
When shall these yes Th

Thy tailwearks with ssivation strong
And strevis of shining gold!
