Sometime, tihen nil life's lessons liavc been
learned.
And sun and stars for evermore have set,
The things which our weak Judgments crc
hnve spurned,
Tho things o'er which wo grieved with
lashes wet,
Will flash before ns, nut of life's dark night.
As htrtrs shine most in deeper tints of blue ;
And wo ilmll sec how all God's plans arc
rigid,
And how what seemed reproof was lovo
most true.
And wo shall see how, while wc frown and
sigh.
God's plans go on ns best for you and me j
How, when wo called He heeded not our cry,
D .'cause His wisdom to the end could sec.
And even as wlso parents disallow
Too much of sweet to craving babuiood,
Ko God, perhaps, Is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things, because It seemeth
good.
And If, sometimes, commingled with life's
wine,
Wc find tho wormwood, and rebel and
blirink.
Re sure a w iser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this potion for our lips to drink.
nd if some It lend we oe Is lltig low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his
face,
Oh, do unt blame the loving Father so,
Rut wear j our sorrow with obedient Krace I
And j ou shall shortly know that lengthened
breath
Is not tho sweetest gift God sends His
friend,
And that, sometimes, the sable pall of death
Conceals tho fairest boon His love car,
tend.
If wo could push ajar tho gates of life,
And stand withlu aud all God's workings
see.
Wo could Interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find a key, .
Dut not today. Then be content, pocr
heart!
God'i plans like lilies pure and while un
fold, Wo must not tear the close-shut lcatcs
apart.
Tlmu will reveal tho calyxes of gold.
And If, through patient lull, wo reach the
laud
Where, tired feet, with sandals looscd.may
rest,
When wo shall clearly seo and understand j
I think that wo will say, "Goil knew the
best!"
LITTLE NAM FORTUNE.
"Come. In," called JIlss Morrln Inlicr
pleasant voice.
6o tho door opcncJ and Little Nan,
song-and-daucn artiste, appeared on tlio
threshold.
Her thick red hair was twisted in a
tight knot on tho top of her head, a row
of curl-papers fringed lier forehead,
little dabs of powder wcro left on her
chci-ks, her calico Mother Hubbard was
faded, and there was a long rent in the
skirt. She came timidly into tho room
and laid a largo white envelope down on
tho tabic.
"It's fur you," she said, quickly turn
ing away. "X heard yon telllu' Mrr.
Spratt 'twas your birthday."
Then the door closed upon Little
Nan.
Jdtss Morrln laid down Emerson and
took up the attractive whlto envelope.
I contained a birthday card, a very pret
ty card. On one side were a landscape
and a solitary bird on tho branch of a
tree, and on the other were printed tho
following verses:
There's gloom without, but there's cheer
wlllllii
Uolllckitig shout mid rattling din.
They kiss, good luck! with a rare good will I
r..uii iuijt iiaa a uutliug Jin,
It's a trifle hard, (as 1 Hi Ink jou'll see).
On a lonely. tearr'U old bud like nie.
"A lonely, scarrM old bird like me!"
repeated Miss Morrln to herself. "Yes,
I am getting to be an old bird. 1 am 85
to-day ami James is 3S. We aro both
growing old and aro no nearer being
married than wo were ten years ago.
Twenty-five is rather lato in life to enter
upon a long engagement. But I would
rather wait for James than marry a
millionaire. Dear James! lie thinks it
is his duty to stay In Maine and preach
to those poor, uneducated people when
he might be pastor of a rlcu church
with a salary largo enough to support us
all. Of course it is his first duty to caro
for his mother and sister, Unfortunate
ly I am poor too. I wish I had a few
hundred dollars to buy a claim or grub
stake some poor prosjcctor. If I was a
man I would take a pick and go up on
the mountains and dig; but being a wo
man all I can do is to wait. I wonder
what made that child give mo this card.
I never spoke to her until this morning.
They say she dances at tho theatre,"
and with II shudder at the thought Miss
Morrln went on reading Emerson,
I Down stairs in the office of tbe Grand
Hotel old Blllv was smoking bis p pe.
ne wore long boots tht ram' W'
knees, corduroy pants, aud a flannel
.shirt. His broad-brimmed felt hat was
tipped over his eyes. Ho bad tilted bis
arm-chair against the "wall and thrust
bis bands Into his pockets,
"It's her birthday, and t give ber a
card," l.lttta Kan was saying,. "She
said goodmornln' when" I met her on the
stairs. Hain't she Bweet? Bet yourlifel
It was astunnlu' card, Tbcro was ab'lrd
on ff trco and the blnl was sayin' po'try.J
It said Bometbln' 'bout ucln' a scarr'd
old bird."
"By ginger 1" exclaimed old Billy,
"you've went and done It this tlmp,"
Then he chuckled, "Didn't you ;kn'pw
she was an old maid a regular Yankee
schoolma'am? Why didn't you pick out
a nice piece 'bout young love and for-gct-nie-don't,
and all that kind of
thing?"
"It was a mighty pretty card and
dirt cheap," answered Little Nandls
consolatcly. "Sho wouldn't think I was
pokln' fun at bcr, would she?" looking
up anxiously,
"Beckon not," said old Eilly, "yoti
wouldn't find It out If sho did. She's
an up and down lady, This 'cro camp's
no place for her. There baln't another
one of her kind to keep bcr company,
Ought to send for her sUter, or cousin,
or soraethln'. Don't seo what brung
ber way out here to keep school,"
Little Nan gazed in tbe fire with bcr
largo bluo eyes.
"She hain't like us," she said slowly,
"She hain't a bit like us."
The school children were troublesome
tho next day. Miss Morrln tried coax
in;, then scolding, and finally was
strongly tempted to resort to corporal
punishment. But she was slight and
frail, and there were some largo boys In
the school. On her way home at noon
sho decided she was still far from being
fit for a minister's wife. Thero we're
letters from Maine on her table. Old
Mrs, Jones had died at last she was D3
and there had been a church sociable.
Sister Mary had saved enough egg-money
to buy herself a black cashmere dress.
Sho thought of having It made with a
kilted skirt and a polonaise, It was a
long lime slnco Mary had bought a new
dress, Miss Morrin remembered. Just
then a woman clad in velvet and seal
skin passed tho Grand. Six months be
fore, this same robust female had been
glad to wash flannel shirts for tho min
ers. Her "old man" had just struck it
rich. And down in Maine Sister Mary
was selling eggs and boarding up every.
nlcklo in order to buy herself a plain
cashmere dress. i
"Please, ma'am," Interrupted LIttro
Nan,- having knocked again at Miss
Morrln's door, "Will you come and
look at old Billy? He'a talkln' to himself
and his face is red as tho deuce."
"Tbo what?'' said Miss Morrln.somc
what shocked.
"I said his face was red," repeated
L'.ttle Nan lnuocently,
MIsj Morrin silently followed Nan
across tho hall to a small room plainly
furnished. Old Billy lay quietly on tho
bed, a patchwork quilt over hhnf and
his head on a dirty pillow. He looked
up as they entered.
"Good mornin'," be said with an ef
fort. "It's so dark I can't see."
"I'll raise tbe blind," said Miss Mor.
rln,
"Then I pass," murmured old Billy.
"Ho thinks he's playln poker," ex.
plained Llttlo Nan, In a whisper. "He
don't know what he's sayin'. Would
you mind slttln' with him whllo I git
tho doctor?"
As she left the room old Billy put bis
hand on Miss Morrln arm. For a mc
ment ho was quite himself,
"Please git mo a pencil and bit of pt-
pcr," ho said eagerly. "Quickl
Silently Miss Morrin rose and crossed
the hall to her room. When she re
turned she banded a sheet of tinted
note-paper and along Faber pencil to
the sick man,
With an effort old Billy raised his
head anil Miss Morrln. piled up tbe dirty
pillows behind him. He wrote a few
lines feebly; then the pencil dropped
from his band. He thrust the bit of
paper under tho pile of pillows and drew
tho patchwork quilt well around bis
shoulders. Still bo shivered slightly.
"I'm so cold and tired," ho murmured,
Then a sweet peace seemed to stral
over bis face. His eyes closed and be
fell gently asleep. But bo never woke
again In this world,
Tbo day of tho funeral Llttlo Nan
came to Miss Morrln's room with a bas
ket of bright flowers on her arm.
"Will you plcaso help me to fix the
flowers?" sho asked whllo tho tears
camo to bcr eyes. "I want to make a
wreath for old Billy."
"Sit down," said Miss Morrin kindly,
and drow a rocking-chair toward the
lire. Then she turned to her trunk,
and, after some search, cams back to
her visitor with a roll of fine wire In
her hand. Tenderly sho lifted the flow.
crs. Thero were red roses, and pink
and scarlet geraniums, and a few sprigs
of green.
"Old Billy liked bright flowers," said
Llttlo Nan. "no used to throw 'em to
mo often. '
"What doyoudo at tbo theatre?"
asked Miss Morrin hesltatively.
"I'm a song and daneo artiste," an
swered Kan proudly. "I sing songs
and dance. '
"Do do ladies attend?"
"No, ma'am; only men."
Miss Morrln shuddered.
"And you liko to sing and dance be.
fore them?" sho said severely.
"Not much, ma'am; I git awful tired
sometimes."
"Then, my child, why not earn your
living some other way? It would bo bet
ter to scrub floors all day long."
"But they wouldn't pay me nothln'."
"What matter?" began Miss Morrln
virtuously,

Morrln spoke again.1- - - - ' -

.suddenly, " " ' '

It, Ho never sold njuch ' ore, anyhow.

would think It was stunning, -Ho always

When the- funeral was 6v'or arid they
bad all returnod to tho Grand. Hotel,
Little Nan threw herself on her bod and
cried pltoously. Miss Motrin heard
ber sobbing, and entering her room,
tried to comfort her. Presently Nan
sat up,
'I must dross,' she said, wearily. 'It
must bo late;' " Her long hair fell
around her and silently Miss Morrln
took a brush and began to smooth its
bright etsands, Then Nan' put on her
hawl and hood.-
'I'll git them to let mo sing 'Under tho
Daisies,' ' sho said, suddenly. 'Old
Billy always liked it. He used to clap,
until I'd come, ont and sing It fur him.
Maybe ho will hear it to-night.'
'Maybo ho will,' answered Miss Mor-
Tln with tcare In her eyes. 'I am suro
ho Willi"
Spring came. Tho snow that had
lain for months on tho mountains began
to melt slowly and prospectors talked
of grub-stakes. Old Billy's claims had
not been disturbed since ho died. No
one supposed thorn of any value. It
was known that ho was without wife or
children.
Ono day tho chambermaid of tho
Grand found a sheet of tinted paper be
hind the bed In the room that had onco
been old Billy's, She was a lazy, care
less girl, and tho paper had lain undis
turbed for more than three months. As
She could not read writing she carried it
to Little Nan.
, But Llttlo Nan hcrsolf could not read
writing readily, Sho glanced at the few
lines on the paper and spelled out the
narao William Struthersat the bottom
of the page.
'Maybe its something about bis claims.
I'll tako It to Mr. Nlekleson. Ho can
read It right off,'
So on her wav to rehearsal Nan
handed him the little sheet of plnk-tlnt'
od paper.
It took the smart lawyer from Boston
but a moment to discover that he held
old Billy's last will and testament in his
band.
'Did you read It?' ho asked, glancing
keenly at Little Nan.
'I didn't have timo to spell It out,'
answered 'Nan. "Thero's nothing 'bout
mo in it, is there?'
'He's left his claims to you,' said tho
lawyer. 'They may not be worth much,
but they aro yours. I will find out about
them and let you know.
'Don't hurry yonrself,' called out Nan
as she shut tho door. 'Dear old BUlyl'
she thought, 'no did all ho could for
me when ho was living and then ho
went and left ma them boles in tbe
ground. Bet your llfo they halnt worth
a cent. Ho never sold no oro from
them.'
A week later when Llttlo Nan called
again at Mr. Nickleson's office tbo law.
ycr made her his very best bow.
'Tako a chair, ho said nervously
Then he cleared his throat. 'My dear
Miss Malony,' ho began. 'I havo some
I may say, . Ho darted into tho
adjoining room and returned with a
glass of water.
'Drink this and then I have something
to tell you.
'Firoaway,' answered Nan. 'I halnt
thursty.'
'Can you bear good news?' asked tho
lawyer solemnly.
'Never had none,' said Little Nan.
'I have discovered,' went on tho law
yer, 'that Old Billy's claims are quite
valuable; In fact bo must have made a
big strike some timo ago, but for some
reason of his own he took out very llttlo
ore. Still he uncovered n very fine
body of mineral. I nave Just had a good
offer for lu
'How mnch?' asked Nan shortly.
'Three hundred thousand dollars In
cash,' replied the lawyer slowly.
'That Is a heap of money,' said Nan
coolly., 'Think .1 could git any more
fur it?'
'Weil, yon will be getting a fair stun,'
answered tho lawyer dryly. 'It would
take you several years to earn as much.
I think you bad better accept tho offer.'
'I don't have to divide with yon, do
I?' said Nan shrewdly. 'See here.
Give me $300,000 and I'll sell. You'll
make a lot out of it, some way, bet
your life. But mind, I want it all In
money. I won't havo any checks. They

COUBTIHO BY THE FIRELIGHT.
TJnclo Davy was giving tho boys somo
auvico In their love making affairs, and
one of them asked him how the young
people did when he was sparking, 'Them
was great times, boys,' bo said in reply,
great times. Wo didn't havo any gas,
no kerosene, nor no newfangled notions.
and wo doneour sparking by a plain tal
low dip, but most frequently Just by tho
firelight. Firelight is warming, boys.
and flickers Just enough to mako a girl's
oyes shine and the peach blossom glow
on her checks. It is mighty toft and
purty too, and kinder reaches out and

sometimes tho urc turned up a uttlo too
powerful In places, and tho young man
would get up without saying anything
and put a shovelful of ashes on it. Then
ho would cuddle up to tho girl In tho
shadows and she would cuddle somo tco.
and It really didn't seem like there wa3
anything olso in tho whole big round
earth to bo wished for. Party soon tho
flro woulc git obstreperous again, and
the llttlo flames would twinkle in nn
out, as if they wanted to sec what was
going on, or had seen and was laughing
and winking about It and having some
fun, too, and the young fellow would
reach for tho shovel and the ashes and
cover tho bright blazes all up. And
sometimes remember, now, eomctlmcs
tbo girl would get up and put ashes
on, and then well, boys, when the bluo
birds como In the sprlng.and the fishing
worms crawled out of tho ground, and
tho boys set on the green banks of the
little creek waiting for a bite, and the
Johnny-jurap-ups nestled In tbe sunny
places, there was,a wedding in tbo old
house, and tho purty bride wore applo
blossoms in her hair, and the awkward
young fellow blushed in his store clothes
and tight boots; and when tbo winter

THE DOCrOR'S BUCK TRAP.
Several years ago Dr. Gimp fell a vie.
Mm to second advcntlsm. Not far from
tho back of his kitchen he built n plat
form some twenty feet high and capable
of holding his entire family. Ilcre thoy
wcro to gather and prepare to ascend
when Gabriel blew his horn. But Gabriel
didn't come, and Mrs. Gimp dried apples
on tbe platform all summer. In the fall
Gimp, thinking to help things along,
made a big bom about ten feet long and
four feet across tbo big end. He polished
tbo Inside of it till It was bright, painted
tho outsldo grcon, and bung it in a big
treo over tbo platform. Gabriel didn't
blow however, and In tho spring, when
tho wild ducks commenced to fly
north, Gimp rlgjed up a tallow dip,
and,pointing tho big end of the horn duo
south, set tbo lighted dip in tbo little
end. Then ho sighted tho durn thing
till it pointed straight at his back kitchen
window. The streak of light that shot
out of the big end of that born looked
like an aurora borcalls. First thing
Gimp knew a dnck flew into bis horn
and went like a shot through the kitchen
window, Tho duck was flying so fast
that he didn't bum himself or put out
the light clthcr.but be fell Inside with n
dull thud. One hundred and thirty
seven ducks went through that bora'
nineteen of them canvas-backs. Every
time a canvas-back would go through"
tho horn would give a loud toot, aud
Gimp would wake up and seroech:
Gabriel, by gurjri' Then he'd go Into
the kitchen and tin J it was only another
duck. Yoti seo what made tho horn
blow was tbe sranlni of the canvas on
tho duck's backs.
