THE CLOWS BABY.
It was out on the Western frontier
The miners, rugged and brotvn,
Were gathered around tbe posters)
The clrcui had come to town I
The great tent shone in the darkness,
Lllie a no.mUrPjLpalaceoflfi.ht,
And rough men crowded the entrance
Shows didn't come over; uightl
frol a woman's Jaco amnug them
Many a fare that waa bad,
Ahd some that were only vacant,
And some that Were very lad.
And behirld a canvas curtain,
In a corner ot the place,
Tha clown, with.cbullt and vermllllon,
Was"maki'ng.Up,; Lis face.
X weary-looklhj omsh, ,
Wilh k allllle that etill was sweet,
8ewed on a little garment,
With a era. II" at iter feet.
Pantaloon stood ready und waiting;
It was time lor the going on,
But the clown in vain searched wildlrl
i. - .
The "property. baby" was gone I
lie hiunnured, Impatiently hunting;
'"It's slrarige that I cannot Bnd-t
There I ' I've limited in every corner;
It must have been left behind I"
The miners were stamping'and shoutlag,
They were not patient men.
The clown bent over the cradle '
"I must take you, HlleBenl"
The mother started and shivered,
But trnublo and want.nere ncar,
She lilted her la by gently ; I
"You'll lo vtry careful, dear?''
"Careful? You foolish darling'''
How tenderly it was said I
What a smile shone through the elialk and
paint
"I love each hair of his' head I"
The noise rose .into an uproar,
Misrule for Ibe time was king ;
Tbe clown with a foolish chuckle,
Butted into the ring.
BUt.as, will) a squeak. and flourish,
The fiddles closed their tune,
"You'll hold him aa if be were made of
glass?"
Said the clown to Fabtaluon.
The jovla' fellow nodded ;
"I've a couple myself," he said,
"I know how to handle 'em, bless you 1
Old fellow, go ahead 1" t
The fun grew fast and furious,
And not one of all the crowd
Had guessed that the baby was alive,
When ho s'tddeniy laughed aloud.
Oh, that baby-laugh I It was echoed
From tbo benches with a, ring,
Aud the roughest Ctfstdltier there sprang up
With : "Boys, it's the real thing I"
The ring was jammed in a minute,
Not a man that did not strive
For "a shot at holding tho baby''
The baby that was "alive I" 'i
Ho was thronged bv kindling Buitors
In the midst of thedusly ring,
And be JisLUUiiCOlirtjight royally
The fair little baby king ,
Till one of tbe shouting courtiers,
A man with a bold, .linn", lace,
The talk, for miles, of tbo country,
And the terror of the place,
Raised the little king to his shoulder,
And chuckled t "Lmk at tliatl"
As the chubby fingers clutched his hair,
Then i "Boys, hand round tbe hatl"
There neyer was such a hulful
Of silver, and gold, and uotes)
People are not always penniless
Because they don't wear coats I
And then : "Three cheers for tbe baby 1"
I tell yoUj those cheers were.nieant,
A.tifJ the way iu which (hoy were given
Was enough .to raise tho tent,
And.tltcb;there wns'stidden tilenie,
And.u gruff old-miner saijl,
'"Coine', boys', ennugVof this rumpus I
'It't time; t was.pu to lied.''
So looking a little sheepish,
But with faoes strangely bright,
The audience somewhat lingeringly,
Flocked out into the night.
And the bold faced leader chuckled,
"He wasn't a bit afraid I
He's as game. as. hos go.. looking
Boys, lhat was a show that Davit'

MILDRED'S FAULT.
Mildred Poicy always had a "bosom
Irieud one of that romantic order of be-
ingi to whom she 'told everything; but
Ibe one selected from all others was Ida
Bryant, a sentimental companion ol
boarding-school life, to wlirim Bbe vowed
eternal friendship. Notonly alllier own
but all her family secrets, were1 cnflded
to her bosom friend; and thus a sort of
conhtrulnt was exercised over all Mil-
dred'a actions by her exacting friend.and
such friendship was by no mnaDS a source
of happiness to thayonDglady. For I '
was very.jenlous, and cqnld not tolerate
the idea of any other person comint; near
her dvoled follower, for Mildred P.roy
waa Id Bryont n obscqnious follower.
At school all her complaint were
ponred into Ida'a ear a moat nnwise
connselor for a sensitive yorrtjg girl, for
wnat Ida advised, Mildred obeyed; and
sbe mnst pay the most devoted attention
to her drar friend Ida, who watched Mil
dred's every aotlon with snspieions eyes
So the school dayi pissed od, and the
two returned home to enter npon a life
or gayety; for the p.rents of both were
wealthy, and nothing waa spared to make
tUelr entrance into society brilliant
Mildred Percy Was beautiful, and bad
many lovly trails of character; gentle
aud affectionate, she was one who gave
her whole heart tq the onu she lovtd, bnt
waa lacking iti ktrong principles by wbioh
to steer her bark. And thna-Ida Ilryant
exercised a powerful influenoa over the
young girl.
After two seasons of fashionable life.
Mildred attracted tbe attention of Clar
ence Buskin, a high-minded, noble and
straightforward man, charmed with the
sweetness and feminine graces of Mil.
dred Pvroy.
We meet he two girls in the yonng
Udy's dressing roi an, a stormy evening
confining them to the boose Mildred
posrlag the atorj of her Jotb Into tho ear
of Ida Bryant, for there was an engage
ment between tbe pair, the marriage to
be postponed for a 'year.
'And so you exptct Clnrenoa alwava to
be the same devoted lover, Mildred?" said
the bosom friend; "yon had better get
rid of that faucy, dear, for I'va never
seen it yet in married life."
"loan trust CUrenca," aho replied;
'he ii such n noble oharaoter."
"He is seven years older than you.Mll-
dred I I wonder If you are his first love?"
Mildred's eyes- dropped, and the first
drop. of snptcton was . distilled into the
young lie'art. "
I hayo heard n little romance," Ida
continued, "about him and his conRln.
Lucy Douglass did he nover.Epeak to
you about her?"
'Never particularly,-Ida; I know that
he baa such a cousin, but ho has never
told me how beautiful she is."
I don't liko that, Mildred; she is a
perfect benuly, they say, and tha two
wero.brought up together iu their Arint
Leonard's family. I should think that
he would have toid you all about his
young days."
Just then the bell rang, and the ser
vant announced Mr. Kuskln. '
Go ddwH. Mildred,"' said Ida. "I
know that you prefer his company to.
mine, and I havo a cbarintng bbok that
I wnnt to finish."
Mildred , could scarcely analyze ber
feelings ns she walked slowly down stain
lo meet ber lover.for she had alwaysihur
rinl v.ith bouudiug steps before, i
She did not believe .one word, of what'
Ida had.bliited, bnt she wished she had
uot.heard. the foolish story.
KotwithslaUding.hcr manner was ratb I
er cold; but she did not mean to be so,
and Clarence noticed it.
"What ails you, darling?" he asked.
"I don't know, Clarence; I believe I'm
not very well, that'a all."
Then they chatted a while, bnt not as
formerly, and Clarence, unrolling a piece
of music, asked Mil. rd to try it.
It was a lovely song, and she aang it
sweetly, to please Clarence.
At last the constraint wore oil, and
under tho power of Clarence Ituskin'a fas
cinations, Mildred was herself again.
lie stayod later than usual, and when
she returned to ber bosom friend, Ida re
marked:
"You must have had a delightful eve
ning, Mildred, for it is nenily eleven o'
clock. It was pleasant, Ida) but I wonder if
I bad not better say something to Clar
enco about his cousiu?"
"Nonsense, child!" was the reply, "he
wouldn't, tell you the truth, for I don't
believe that ha has lived to be nearly
thirty without n love affair. Yon had' lie t
Ur be contented, Mildred; perhaps you
wouldn't like to hear more."
The story rankled, howeYer, and she
made the great mistake of conoealing
Irom ber intended husband these foolish
rumcm.
Every now and then Ida dropped her
imprudent words concerning this cousiu,
aud Mildred wished that she knew what
was re; lly tbe truth.
She did not know how soon shp was to
be brought face to face with this imagin
ary rival.
One evening Clarence came with the
Intelligence that Lucy Douglass wax com
ing to pay a visit to a Irieud iu N6w Yprk.
';I wish that you know her, Mildred,"
he 6nld; she is one of the sweetest girls
that I ever kuw, mvo one, nnd I know
that you will learn to love her,"
"You have nevor taid much about her,
Clarence," wtm the reply.
"That is true, dear; I have been so
much engrossed. With my own darling,
tbtt 1 almost forgot my cousiu Lucy.
We were brought up together) and pssed
our young days in the same bouse."
"Is she beautiful, Clarence?"
"Perfectly lovely," was the reply.
"Accomplished, too?''
'Yes; no pains have been spared to
polish the sweet girl."
"And good, too, Clarence?"
"Yes, Mildred truly excellent."
"I v. ouder how you withstood all these
attraction. Clarence, being in the same
hou e, too,"
"Nonsense, Mildredl I don't liko such
hintn.for Lucy to me is a beloved sister."
"Forgive me, Clarence," she said; "I
didn't mean to hurt you,"
Ou the following week tbe young lady
irrived aud Mildred hastened to call.
It was all true for Lucy Douglass
was lovely, aud sbo stw that there was a
strong bond of attachment between the
;o eoiuius.
Clarence wished lo mako her visit
pleasant; aud in all the pulitw mado lor
her by laud aud water, Mildred was ex
pected to bo one.
"Don't you tee how he remembers the
old love?" said Ida; and poor Mildred
was tormented still by jealous thoughts.
bhe saw, too, that there was a secret
bttween the two, for sbe often surprised
tbrm talking coLfidcntly aloue, aud saw
that Lucy waa troubled about something
that sbe did not understand.
Bat Lucy's visit cams to an end, and
Clarence took ber home to .ber aunt's.
staying several days with the family.
Keeping ber thoughts to herself, Mil
drdd was still annoyed, when n few trust
ing words could have set all right; but
Ida was always in tbe way-.snch an un
Wise booom friend.
Tbe wedding-day at length arrived,
aud Mildred Percy took the sacred vows
of wife to Clarence Ilnskin.
Altera short w;ddiug trip, they took
potsesaion of a lovely home.atid Mildred,
witb such a noble huhbanti, might have
beeu one of tbe happiest of women, but
the breath of the bosom friend still pois
oned the atmosphere of wedded love.
One rooming at the breakfast table,
CUrence read a letter jost banded to him
ani laying it down, said : "LncyU com
ing to pay us a visit, Mildred; sba i not
well."
The wife did not ray tsncb, but iron-
dered why Clarence did not band ber the
letter.
At length she said, rathor coldly, "I
will get ber room ready."
The husband looked at her earnestly,
saying :
"I hope that my wife will make my
cousin welcome."
"Yon neod havo no fenrs," alio ml';
"I shall never forget my duty."
Ue arose suddenly, and taking bin hat,
left the bouse without the usual kiss.
This was the fii-xt cloud In the matri
monial sky, and Mildred was miserable
all day.
When her husbftnd returned; alio has
tened to meet him, and throwing btr
arms aroun'd bis neck, she said:
"I hope.thnt you are not offended, Clar
ence.
'1 was a little hurt at your manner
this mornlnfr, Mildred; but it's all pair,
love, aud we won't talk uboutsuch fo'.ly."
The young guest arrived, and Mil-
dred's heart was touched ny tho sight of
tho. sweet palo face, and she resolved to
do all that she oould to cheer tha droop
ing girl.
But Mildred was stiil dlstuibed, for
there was evidently n confidence between
the cousiua that the wife did not share;
and, most unwisely, she confided these
troubles to ber bosom friend.
I have always told you that there was
an attachment between the two, Ida
said; "nnd now I hope you believe me."
But sbo may have somo personal
troubles that cannot be spoken .of to
every, oue; and you know, I Ja, that Clar
ence is just like a brother to Lucy."
"I don't soe much that is brotherly,-
Mildred. You must know that there
should be no concealments from a wife,
Mildredj aud I wouldn't stand it if I were
yon. '
She hid her sorrows in hef own bosom,
but there was a chill creeping- between
tho wedded pair, for the sacreduess of
married lilo bad been invaded.
No pleasant chat now t Ibe, breakfast
table, fof the two were Unconsciously
drilling apart. It is so easy to disturb
the peace Of wedded life; and yet Mil
dred thought that sbe was performing
the duties of a wife, by the most punctil
ious attention to her husband's comforts,
but with snch a cold, averted face.
Lucy received fre-q'tent letters, and
whenever that was the case tho twe cons
ins were closeted together iu the library.
Then there was an icy coldness in the
parlor, and Mildred would retire early to
her room.
And yet tbe slglit of Lney'y palo and
often tearful face touched Mildred's heart,
for she was sure that there was some
heart-rending trouble crushing that deli
cate frame.
Once ahe came suddenly npon tbo
young lady iu the library whera sbo bad
just read a letterj and was pfessing to her
lips a likeness of a gentleman, but Mil
dred could not see tbe features.
Bnt Lucy raised her eyes, to Mildred's
face, and said:
"Jnst wait a littlo while, dear friend,
and you shall know nil my terrible story;
but I can t tell you now."
"Imprudently Mildred told the tale to
ber bosom friend, who asked:
"Did you see the picture?"
"Not plainly, Idaj but Lucy wns great
ly distress d,"
"How do you know that it was not your
hukbnnd's pictutt?''
"Stop, stop, Ida;' I'm sure tbat it can
not be you must not say snch dreadful
things to mo any more."
Iu a few days aftir this a letter arrived
which prostrated poor Lucy, and all that
she could say wns:
"Send for Clarence; I must go immed
iately." "Go wbert?" Mildred asked.
"Clarence will tell yon ; but it will kill
me-it will kill me."
Sending for ber cousin, bs hnrried tn
the side of the sufferer, and nfter readiug
the letter, be said:
"Poor.dear child! has itcome to this?"
After they hnd seen her quietly iu bed,
Clarence calld.l his wife to tha library,
nnd throwing bis nrin around her, bo tuld
Lucy's ad story.
She had formed an unfortunate attach
ment to .Horace Dunbar, much disap
proved of by her friends; but sbe mar
ried him privattly, nnd he bad proved to
be a man of utterly worthless thar.icter,
and having committed a forgery, was
biding'froni tbe law beuco tbe conceal
ment; but the last letter brought the in
telligence that be bad been attested, and
was now iu prison, awaiting bis trltl.
"In her troubles. Mildred, I have fried
to bo a brother," he (.aid; "and now you
mnst sea how unjust and foolish were
your susplcions.for Lujy has always been
to me jnst liko a beloved sister,"
'Forgive roe, Clsrencc." she said;
"how oould I ever harbor a siulo doubt
of one so good nnd trm? But Ida"
"Yes, Mildred, a bosom friend has
made all our trouble."
"I am not worthy of yon Clareuce,
tbe sobbed out, "for how oould I listen
for oue moment to snoh a lalne friend?
Bat It is all done I have learned a ter
rible lesoo; bat it has taught ino wis.
dom.
Folding her in his arms, be said:
"And now, love, we are tinly oue; for
no Ida Bryant can ever come between n
again, Mid we will be happy once more
in our qnlet world of love.
"No othtr bosom friend but my noble
hatband," she sid. "Hou could I ever
be guilty of such a great fault? But let
mo tell yon all, Clareuce how I was led
away by my own weakness "
"I would rather not, love," he said; "it
would only cause jou pain."
"Bat I must, Clarence, make a full
confession, a iu then the subject will be
dropped forever."
Then, with all tba frankness of n child
aud tbe penitent lote of a Iruu womin,
Mildred poured out ber whole heart, and
at the close Clarence pressed ber to bis
bosom, and. with fond khicsoa ber tear
ful cheek, Rid
"We have renewed our mstriago vows,
dear, nnd now our souls will grow to
gether, and we shall bo truly one."
Lucy Inslt-ted on going to ber husband,
for liko a (ma woman she remained faith
ful because alt others had forsaken him.
Next morning Clarence accompanied
the heart-brokou wife to tbe prison tb see
her husbind in a felon's cell, where tbre
wrg n heartrending interview; for with
nil his faults, Horace Dunbar loved bis
nenlle wife.
Bringing ber homo acnin, Mildred re
celved tbe por crushed wife to her warm
young hearf, nnd in the shelter of that
loving home, tbo sufferer found a refngf
from tho stoims of llfo, where, ont of
sight of the noisy world, sbo bore her
sorrow in Rolilude, witb God oaly for her
comforter.
The rupture botween tho married pair
might bat-o been hltlch moro diais'rrins
in the bands of a different man j but
Clarence understood his young wif , and
Was very sure he bad alwajs Rot upon
the throne of h"r heart, and loft it to'thn
developments of time to heal the sorrow
ful breath.
fdatiryaut saw that ber refgn was over,
for nover again did sbe dare to whisper n
suspicious word, nud Mildred bad learn
ed that a husband is tbe only bosom
friend of n trite wife. Labi's UdoX

Jim Manly began to talk '
"I say, Deaoon, Darwlu's theory of
evolution is a little bard on tbo first
chapter of Genesis. Of course we dou't
know yet how it will turn out, but it
looks a little as though they were going
to upset Moses."
Tbe Deacon made no answer. He sure
ly must have heard JiniV remark. Pres
ently he wns observed to ba counting his
Augers slowly, and with pauses between
each enumeration for thought.
After a while Jim Vcutured to nsl;
"Counting up tho saw-logs, Deacon,
aren't you?"
"No," paid the Deacon, "I'll tell you
Yonr remark set me to thinking. I was
just counting up how many times in tbe
course of human history somebody bas.
attempted to upset Moses. First of all,
two old jugglers named Jannes and Jam
bres undertook this, but tboy failed,
Then a Certain king named Pharaoh went
at the work-of upsetting. He must have
found it moro work than be anticipated,
for be lias not reachod homo yet, Then
three leaders of liberal thought Korab,
Dathan ncd Abfram -went nt tho job.
They failed in the upsetting pari ; but
they secured a bit of a rancbe for them
selves, which they and their children
bold quiet possession of until this day.
Later on a king named Nebuchadnezzar
entered upou the npselting busiuc?; be
did nOt succeed either. He spent seven
years chained to a stump and When ho
had served out bis time ho had changed
his mind, ahd was a sadder and a wiser
man. His successor met with still great,
er disaster in a similar attempt. Since
that time there have beeu ni end of per
sons who biWo tried to upset Moses
Some ancient 'heatheD, Ce-lsus and Por

terly these German critics nnd scientists,

ago, when I chanced to be in Boston, I
beard of a meeting of Freetbiukers'at a
place called Chapman Hall. I could not
resist the teniptntion to go jut ence and
hear what they raid. I found about 20
pcrsoi a there; three or four of them wo
men and tbe rest men. And what do
yon tbiuk they were engaged iu? The
old euterpiise of upsetting Moses. Aud
yet Moses has to-day in -the syangogues
of Boston moro persons that preach bi'ui
than bo ever had before. It is astonish
ing bow mueh upsetting it takes to upset
Moses. It is like upsetting a granite
cube turn it on which face you will,
thcro it stands as solid as ever. Tbe cube
Is used to being upset, and docs not mind
it. It always auiusrs me when I hear n
fresh cry from soma now quarter nverriug
that somo mau whom nobody ban ever
before heard of bus found ont a suro way

PEEILS OF PAPER BAO BUSTLES.
There is a woman iu the West-end who
has learned a lesson that will last her n
lifetime. Sbe has for jo.irs been wearing
those paper bags, such as grocers use, toi
bustles. Tha paper fs ttill aud sticks out
splendidly, it makes tbe dress look well.
List Sunday morning, whiU she was
dressing, her young son got into the
room und blew tbe paper bag lull of wind,
tied a string arouud tbe mouth of it and
lolt it ou tbe chair. The gucd lady took
it, and lied it on, and elresed bersell for
church. Sao bribed ber buabaud to go
with her, though he ia a sort of Bob Iu
gersul christian. Aa they went up the
aisle the miuister was readiug a bymu
about "Sounding the Loud Hosauua,"
and the lady went into the pew first and
sat do-o while ber husband was putting
his bat on the floor. Tbero was a report
like distant thunder. You havo heard
how thesj confounded paper bugs ex
plode when tbe boys bljw- them np and
crush them betweeu their hands. Well,
it was worse than tbat, aud everybody
looked at the iuuoof ut hnsbsud who was
standing lb. re a perfect picture of aston

as to say
"Now, this is Ibe last time you will'
ever ratch nw iu a church if you are go
ing to play nuy of your tricks ou me.
You think yon are going to scare me in
to netting religion!"
Tbe minister stopped reading the
bymn and looked over his spectacles at
the newcomers, as though it wonld not

the church up,

she looked the bymn book through for
