Ono bearing tho name Wo gave him Comes home to us to-day, But this Is not tho dear fellow We'klsscd and sent away. Tall as the man ho calls lather, With a man's look In his face, II ho who takes by the hearthstone The lost boy's olden place. Wo miss the laugh that made muslo Wherever tho lost boy went. This man has a smile roost winsome, His eyes have a grave Intent; We know he Is thinking and planning; Ills way in tho world of men, And wo cannot help but lore him, But long for our boy again. We are proud of this manly fellow Who comes to tako his place, With hints of the vanished boyhood In his earnest, thoughtful face; And yet comes back tho longing For the boy wo henceforth must miss, Whom we sent away Irom the hearthstone Forever with A kiss. KITTY'S JPKE JUDICE. Kitly Hoyt was standing by tho gale, swinging her light, summer hat ly one siring, and whistling lightly lo herself. Yes, the truth must be told Kitty wasjusta lit tle hoitlcnish, much to the annoyance of her rery dignified altogether proper relatives. Aunt Prudence was wont to give her half hour lectures by tho dozen, on the sinful ness ol girls who whistled, and Kilty's dis gusted brother Boh would severely hint that "Whistling girl and crowing hen Always come to a bad end.1' Lectures and hints wero all in vain, and and independent llltlo Kitty whisllcd when and where eho pleased, for alio didn't care a mllo for other people's ideas nnd opinions. She looked very graceful and pretty, ns she stood by tho gate in tlie gathering duslt. A low, white forehead, around which the clinging brown curls clustered lovingly; a piquant, klssahle tosebud of a mouth, and a pairol laughing, saucy brown eyes and that Is Kitty Iloyt. "Hello, Kill" Kitty looked up with a little dimpling smile and laugh, as she responded to this salutation. "Hollo, Craig I where aro you going this evening?". Craig Langley, a (all, handsome young fellow of twenty-three, tautitered slowly up, walling n cloud of smoke before hini nsa herald of his approach. Kitty drew back, and elcvatod her dainty nnso in disgust. Craig Langiey," she cried, sharply, "I do bojieve you're the horridest creature that 1 ever Itye.1 1 When will you learn not to smoke in the society of ladies ? You know I can't bear the smell of a cigar, and I know you'ro smoking now Just to lease mo I" Craig laughed easily, watched a cloud of smoke as it soiled around his curly head, and then drawled, tsntallsingly : "Don't excite yourself, Kitly, my child, it isn't good for your health, though II makes you look decidedly pretty. I believe you do il for effect. Kilty slumped hor liny foot passionately. "Craig Langley, you will drive mo crazy I If you don't tako that cigar out of your mo nli this instant, you must leave the premises J so there?" With a comical look of mock repentance nnd terror on his handsome, laughing face, Craig threw the cigar away, saying, gruvly : "Thy will shall bo law, my queen." "Don't be a gooeo; you know I'm not your queen, and never shall be. Comenow, that's a good boy," coaalngly, "lell me the news," "News ?" said Craig. "I did not come to tell you any news; I came lo see you, Kitty." "Nonsensel" s.ild Kitty ; of course you didn't come all Jhis way just to see me. You must surely have somo news for me. Toll It, please." rJhe was very fond of hondsnnie, debonair Craig Langley, in a sisterly sort of a way, but 6he had no idea ofgoiiigany further in to his allVctliins, and when he became too devoted ihe always checked him with wom anly loct, "But I did coma to see you," Craig pro tested j "end 1 haven t any news; unless, indeed, Ihe fact that the new schoolmaster hns come, Is news." "Indeed, It Is," said Killy, looking inter ested, "When did he rnmn, Craig, and what is his name, and w hero's hegolugto stay, and how docs ho look, and " Craig placed both hands over hie esrs and cried : "Oh, Kill do stop and have mercy cm me I One question at a time, if you please. He was on old college chum of mine, and is in truth the best and noblest fellow In the world. Ills name is Percy Smith, ond " "I know I shall hate him," cried Kitty, scornfully, "if he's Ihst pink ol perfection whom ynu were always praising to the skies in'your letters lust year. I can't bear goody goody mon." "He isn't one of ILe goody-goody men,whal erer you mean by that," said Craig, testily. Craig always spoke well of absent friends. He's ono of nature's 'noblemen, though Ir, and he' liked by everybody." "I shan't liko blm I" said Kitly, per versoly. Craig did not deign to notice the last out burst, but went on. "As for his looks, he's tall and very good looking, with golden hair and golden mus tache." "I just despise blonde men," interrupted Kilty, with curling lip. "Why, Kit I" cried Craig, in amsremcnt he was a blonde himself looking. reproach fully at our perverse heroine, "yon told me jonrself only a few days ago that you ad mired tlie blonde style of min very much," Kilty's saury brown eyes flashed. Well, csn't one change her mind If she chooses?"' she asked, shortly. "I don't ad mire that style of beauty, anyway." There was a glorious silence on both sides for several minutes. At last Craig ssid, with an effort toward cheerfulness i "I'm sorry, Kit, that you are so prejudiced against Ttrey, He certainly doesn't de serve ny Ill-will fro'n you I was sure you would be friends; h ly to board at y;ur bout, you know, and I'm afraid it will ho disagreeable for both of you, if you are to be enemies. Can't you bo friendly to him for my sake, Kit?" pleadingly. "No, I can't I" Impatiently. Craig looked hopelessly forlorn and be wildered. He himself was n careless, good natured fellow, everybody's friend, and couldn't understand natures like Kitty's. Consequently be took a philosophical view of the matter and gave It up. "Well, Kit," he said, "you seem to bo In ono of your tantrums this eveuing, and tllere is no uso in trying to do anything with you. I'll drop in to-morrow, to see If you feel any better. Oood-nightl" "Good-night," said Kilty. On tho following day Tcrey Smith ap peared nnd wis duly installed as a mem ber ;. t Iho Hoyt household. Even Kitly could not help admitting to herself that ho was very handsome and noble-looking. His brow was brnadpen and while, and his deep blue eyes were as a tender as n woman's. In his sensitlvo Hps, shaded by a drooping golden mustache, thero was no lack of firmness. As Percy had said ho was liked by every body, and ho soon came to bo regarded as a true friend of every ono in the family ex cept Kitty, of course. She was at alt times cold and distant toward him, merely ten dering him Ihe barest civilities. Tho young man wondered much at her slrango couducl; tho tnoro so as he becamo much Interested in the piquant, pretty lit llo lady from the very first. At tho table sho never looked at him, and when spoken to responded In monosyl lables only, and these were uttered very reluctantly. Percy Smith noticed it all, and a look of wounded dignity and pride would often cross his grave faco. "She evidently does not like me," he thought, with a nameless pain at his heart. He realized that this girl, who was so cold and distant lo him, and so merry and saucy toward others, was very dear to him. "She can never bo anything to me," he said to hlmsolf, "aud I will not let her seo my weakness." Several monotonous months passed away. Beautiful August had drifted Into Sep tember, nnd September had ripened inlo October. Autumn was assuming her gay robes ol scarlet and crimson and gold. One lovely evening Percy Smith was pacing tho garden walk with thoughtful, abstracted countenance. Ho was roused from his rovorio by the sound of voices. Percy was just turning away when ho heard his own name, and Involuntarily stopped. He recognized Craig's voice. "Well, Kit, haven't you and Tcrcy be come friends yet?" Tcrcy strained his'eoi to catch the an swer. "How mocking and cruel it was, ho thought. "What n aueslion. Craltr. You know vousvlf Ibat I seldom become frionds with those fur whom I tako a dislike. I can't bear Percy Smith, and I don't think I ever ahull. Porcy felt faint and dizzy. It was all as he had expeclcd,.then I She despised him, while ho he loved her better then all tho world bosides. He clutched at the railing of Ihe garden walk for support, and reached his room wllh weak and loitering steps. Oh, what a weary, weary night it was I Percy's constitution was not naturally n strong ono. lie had lost father, mother and n fortune the year before. These mis fortunes hod left him so weak that be was ready to succumb to any additional ones. He fell faint and ill all the next day, nnd it was with difficulty that he accomplished his duties. Brain fever set in, ond for weeks Percy hovered over the valley of the shadow of dealh. Kitty, our willful, thoughtless Kilty, nursed him through it all. Somohow, a wonderful change had coma over Kilty. She was merry and gay al limes, but a wo manly seriousness could bo noticed which was as charming as it was new. She began to feel that she did not hate Percy Smith, after all. Indeed, she rather lilted him, she confessed tn heicelf. The crisis of Percy's illness passed, one day, while lying half asleep, ha felt worm tears fall on his face, and n paly of tremu lous Hps touched the pale forohead. The white lids flaw open and 'ho beheld Kitty 1 She cast a frightened, shamed look at him, nnd flow from the room. "Oh, what have I done?" she thought. "He'll think mo immodest and bold, and I can't stand that from him I" And IVrey T "Then sho docs think a Utile of mo after all," ho thought, while his pulses thrilled with happiness. From that doy he Improved ropidly and in the golden Indian summer-time he was able lo go out Into tho fresh Invigorating air. "And you aro going away so soon ?" there was a constrained, pained ring In Kit ty's voice, which sho tried in vain to make steady, aud her face turned pale. They were standing on the veranda Tcrcy and Kitty. "Yes," said Percy, slowly "shall you miss ine just a little bit, Kilty t" Kitty's Hps quivered, but she made no reply. The next minute Perey had drawn the blushing face upon his breast. "Oh, my darling," ho breathed, tenderly, "I wos ofrald yon never could learn to love me I You disliked me once, you know. You do love me a little bit now?" "Not a llltlo bit, but very, very much, Percy," Kitty said, in a low lone. The nest evenbg, when Craig came around as usual, he said ; "Well, Kit, have you any news for mo?" Kilty laughed and blushed as she said i "None, Craig, unless that about the new schoolmaster is news." "Well, what Is thit about him? Have you bad a hand-to-band eosUst with him, or what?" "No, indeed f but tho horrid creature has asked me lo marry him I" Craig opened wide bis blue nrb, pretend. Ing to be much surprised. ''And your answer was no, of course ?" "Of coarse it wasn't," said Kitly, decid edly. Craig gave a low whistle, and said, com passionately : "Poor fellow f his Ufa will be a torment to him," and then hsd to dodgo around to escape a box from Kitty's dimpled fingers.

"And I won't come' here unless your house Is perfectly quiet, now rem em tior that." "Quiet I well you may smile," replied Miss. "That. noise you hear now Is the dentist in the basement, pulling out a tooth, but he'll get It out If it takes him a mouth. How much can you afford to pay ?" 'I think I hear some one upstairs shout ing," said tho old lady. "That's only a young lawyer proctlclng a case. You'll get used to him. Nobody liked it at first, but we've all got used to it, and don't mind it now. Oot any children? We don't take children, because our babies fight 'em so." "No, I haven't.

"Good gracious I Whsl'sthat?" ejacula led tho old lady, as a furious din swept through the lower regions. "I guess the cook is dtiving grandma out of the kitchen with the clolhespole.

"OhLlhatVa literary fellow on the top floor." never he writes anything he squeals like a pig. But he generally writes at night, and you needn tpay any attention to him."

My cousin has got a prairie down cellar whero ho hunts Indians and buffaloes and things. Sometimos he's a road agent, aud then ho rubs us on tho stairs. We always allow for the board, so il evens up. Got any money of your own?" "Never mind whether I have or not,- I don't think I want a room iicre; anyway. Let me out, please." "Couldn't let you have one, anyhow," retorted miss, preparing to slide down tbo balustrade. "Thero's only one empty one, and that's too hlgh-prioed I'or you; besides, you don't wear very good clothes, und we prefer not to htvo you around."

It Is a curious superstition which associ ates wllh each month In tho year its char acteristic gum. It is thought to this day among Eastern nations and the same be lief prevailed among tho old Romans that the fortunes of a human beiug arc influenc ed by tho stone which belongs to his birth month. The fiery garnet is tho stono of January, and it Insures "constancy and fidelity in every sort of engagement. To February belongs the amethyst, and and he who is born in February shou-ld wear tho purple stone as a preservative against "violent passions and drunkenness, lo which fate will tempt him." Stormy March' has, and needs, the blood stone, which gives "courage and wisdom in perilous undertakings aud firmness in af fection." To fickle April, all ttulltJ and tears, be longs tho deep-blue sapphlro, which "frees from enchantment and denotes repentance and kindness of disposition." The emerald belongs to May, and its brilliant green suits tho spring verdure. "It discovers false witnesses and Insures happiness In love and domestic felicity. Tho agate, which belongs to tho flowery month of June, "causes It wearer to be in vincibld in the feats of strength, and insures long life, health and prosperity." To burning July thn glowing ruby be longs, and it is a beueficent stone, for it both "discovers poison, and cures all evils springing from the unkindne$3of friends." The sardonyx lo him who is born In Au gust "liiEures conjugal felicity." Tho chrysolite "preserves from despair" him who Is born in September. To ripe October belongs the pale opal, witli the glint of fire at its heart "stone of misfortune, but also of hope." The pearl, meaning "tears and pity," is assigned to sad November, but let him who is born in December take heart of grace, for the light blue turquoise assures to him "rn-osperity in love."

All day long tho flower of the American navy hal been thundering at the sea-wall of Fort Sumter. Tho massive- masonry had been slowly crumbling, but the shades of even ing had put an end la the furious canonsd ing, and tho gunboats and monitors had retltel out of range and came to anchor for the night. On the bar or Just outside, the frigates nnd heavy sl le-whcelors took up a position. Bcynnd "Rebellion Roads," and extending out to sea, was a double-banked column of gunboats; white almost within range of Sumter and Battery Wagner the New Ironsides and tho monitors wcro rang ed. After It grew dark a thunderstorm began lo work up from the westward. Fitful flashes of lightning and the rumbling of thunder gave promise of a stormy night. About ten o'clock the storm wss raging fu riously, and on tho low nusheltcrcd decks of the Ironclads tho watch wore exposed to the fury of the pelting rain. Near midnight the storm began working back with redoubled violence. Flash fol lowed flash, and peal followed psal, rolling and crashing with terrific concussions. At times tlie tossing waters were lit up with a wierd, ghastly llght, plainly revealing the low-lying islands and tho gaping embra sures of the fort lying hard by. Suddenly the heavy thud of a gun came down on the wings of the wind from sea ward, and following it a crinkling, zlg zag blinding shaft of light streams across the heavens. The momentary light lllumina- tod every portion of the broad expanse. Then thero mu a tremendous crash that shook tho solid monitors to their keels. A's the thunder roared nnd rorerhratcd utid died away in the distance, the deep boom of a heavy Dahlgrcn gun was hoard out on Iho bar. Presently another, nnd another, In rapid succession. Tho watch below came springing out into the storm, every eyo peering Inlo tho darkness. ' While every ear listened to catch tho dis tant sounds came tho stirriug music of tho American navy a dozen drums healing the tumultuous measured roll and tnp-tap, and a dozen fifes screaming in shrill ca dence. Rockets stream aloft and lights flash intelligence that a steamer Is insido the blockade and bound in. Then thero was ft tumult for a second. Tho monitors beat to quarters, steam Is runj( up, end the trained crews go lo their stations. From under the shndow of Fort Sumter I strain through tho Iron embra sures and seo fitful flashes along the line of gunboats. YosI the fugitivo was running tho gauntlet of the fleet I trusting to the darkness to escape. But her people did not know that they must almost rub tho muz zles of our guns lo pass. Tbo plucky fugi tivo was ropidly coming up, and In a few moments more would be blown out of the water. Tho. drums have ceased beating, and from ofar come quick exclamations, the heavy booming of tho monitors and the swift revolutions of a screw. Iron-clad af ter ironclad moke the steamer a target; but It is pitch dark, and her swift way is against them. Aboya tho tumult of the elements come the loud roar of the hugo guus; but still thoss adventurous spirits picked their way through tho inky black ness. A bright liijht is blazing upon the ramparts of Sumter, and broad off uion our port beam, in tho diiectlon of Fort Moul trie. Rockets aro streaming continuously the bearings of the Confederates display to help the fugitive. On she comes. Tho pulsations of the tireless engines aro now heard, together wllh thu swift churning ot the 6crew. Now sho is passing tho monitor ahead, and in an instant will bo alongside. The Montauk delivers both her guns; thero comes a flash of lightning, and Ihe steamer is revealed for the first time. From her low smnka-stsck tho smoko Is rolling in thick masses, and directly in front, perched on tho bridge, is the pilot. He stands upright as an iron bar. In her waist a hand is slung casting the lead. As I looked his arm was sway ing and the lead whirling over his head, then it was dark. As she came abreast, fairly pushing the blackness before ber, the leadman's voice, full and strong, spiced, too, with a flavor of Cockney accent, rung out I "And a 'alftwol" Another flash revealed everything, the man in the whecl-housa whirling the wheel, tho Cockney gathering In the slack lino, as if Intent on having another csst be loro being blown up, and then a bell tinkles, the tunct turns steadily to port, and tho men crouch away from the recoil; then Iho vehement ordei to "fire I" There is a breathless pause, and then a terrible mile diction, for both primers refuse to burn, and tho bold blockade-runner Jiad vanished around the north-cast angle of Sumter.
