In the spring n thinner shadow
Haunts the young man's pocketbook;
And lie casts tiiou each nickel
A much longer, fonder look,
In the spring a livelier yellow
Comes upon the butterluo;
And the boarder much suspects that
Things arc not Just what theysecui.
In the spring the Jolly fisher
Man doth hlo htm for a worm)
And with Joy doth place the first one
On his book to see it squirm.
In the spring a young girl's fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of cream;
And her tender blue eyes spaikle
With a lovely ten-cent glcaur.
THE MOTHER,
or RlCnADD lky oaVhom',
In my heart a tender song
Has been sounding very long.
For Its tones si wondrous sweet
Were the first my ears lo greet,
And shall be (lie lust to roll
Over my departing soul ;
It was beard In hours of pain
Come In patience for my gain;
It was sung to husb my cries,
It was showA fu luting eyes.
It was taught my lisping. tongus,
And I would 1't might btt sung
H ect as angel's slug nbovo
Thi puj-c song of inothcV's Jove I
Mother's love! 0, who shall mcasuro
All the meanings this may tro.tsu e?
Weary years of toll and sorrow
Hopes the sinking heart would borrow,
Players that rise through seas of tears,
l'mid devolio'n fil'ugcd lth tears,
Self-denial, asking none. ,
Faith w hose course Is never run
Mother's low, It never quails;
1111 at last the irie.it sou! falls,
And tho trembling bands arc dropped,
And the dauntless heart Is stopped I
Then In vain regret we pin'J
For that mo ..i . . love dlvlue.
O my mother, now to you
May my gratltuda be true,
Suirimc r has been full ot storm,
Winter now enfolds your form,
And your head begins to dhow
Traces of the falling snow,
Yet would I each care craso '
From that dear familiar face,
Bring your eyes tho liappy glow' '
Of your UiirdllbSd long ago,
Be olio child who did not wait
To return befoto too law
Mother's love, kiss and caress,
All her latest days tu bless.
Felicia's Sacrifice.
BY OtHNKVEItE;
"Now, Felicia, dear, tell ma all the news
what lias hapucneil nt FenwlLk since 1
went away, anil what have you been dolug
lo while away tlio hours?"
Felicia Fenwlck lifted her deep gray eyes
to her lover's face; as he took her hand be
tween Ills owil tlild siiilled down upon her.
What a handsome, glowing faca was that
of Nell DarforJ, how his glances tin Hied
her heart, yet thero was no trace of her
-motion on her features, as slid said;
'Thero is little lo tell, "Nell remember
yon liavo been nway but four'weebs."
"Fdtir years seemingly." he said gayly.
A quick light gleante'd 111 Felicia's eyes,
cold and calm was her cJililtfchancc, but
t hose gray brbs revealed iiuiclt bf the ueep
iVellng thit sllrrcd her Inneririost being,
ilow she loved Nell liaifordl Vfct she was
i woman whoso pride kept bacU those sim
ple manifestations of affection that are so
welcoth'eHd tile loved and loving ones, and
.vho ill ways seemed reserved and dispas
sionate even while her heart was burning
..ud throbbing with intensity.
"lias It swhied' long to you, Nell?" she
-aid, III 4tilbt tunes: "I Have been very
busy, aild liien Couslh Chricy ts heie,"
"Cousin Carley?" repeated Nell, in per
ulexlty. "Oh. you are surprised I meant you
-Ixmld be. Don't you remember my telling
you of Undo Iittfiis He had Uecn traveling
tlitongh Asia fo'r lifaliy years well, Cnrlej
is his daughter, and when he died a short
hue ago, he Intrusted he'r to my father's
.are, Oh, Nell, she Is lllii fairest' girl 1
have ever seen atld eo companionable,
dho Is lo be the daughter here when I am
-jotle'."
For (lie tli-.it tlmo Felicia's facb wore a
'.ilnt flush, and her sleildcl- Wipers clung
.loser to her lover's hflH'l.
"When yon art gone?" said Nell, "ah.
Felicia, that le soon to be then jou will
bu mine fointer."
lie leaned forward td kiss hcrj but at
hat Instant a silvery pe.il of laughter rang
nit, a quick pattering uf feel sounded In
the hall, and then a sharp yell, and into the
parlor rushed n young girl clasping In her
inns a tiny beribboned pet of the Canine
species."
"Oh!" 6he. cried; with a flush itnd re-
treatment. "I did hot know any one was
here pardon me, Felicia, . dear hut Kale
is such a little rebel."
Shedld notknow w lint. a picture 6liemade
as she stood there her slender, plnk-robcd
foun outlined ugaltist I lie heavy curtains
of dark Oriental hues, her round, while
arliis ba,re to the elbow, clasped over her
pel, and her head daintily upraised with
her sweet, flo'ucr-llke Lien, and laughing,
brown eyes eiricrglhg froti) a disheveled au
burn ruils
"Do hot go,- said Felicia. "Here Is Mr.
Harford Cousin Cailey Fenwlck, Nell."
Site tossed back her shining hair, and
gave hluf olio little hand.
Felicia saw a cljatige on her lover's face
a look of rapt admiration -and Interest; a
jealous pang btifred her heart.
"How he worships beauty I' she. thought.
"Oh, If I had tho facts of t'aileyl but I am
so plain! Does Nfctl ever think of that?"
It was not tho last time that Felicia' ws
tortured by such thoughts.
During tho days that followed, she had
many opportunities for comparing her own
plain countenance wit.li the rare, witching
beauty of her cousin, until tho glint of au
burn hair and flash of brown eyes grew
hateful to her.
It was three weeks after Nell Harford's
arrival, and one week before the time ap
pointed for the wedding that Felicia learned
how the beauty of her cousin had won from
her her greatest prize.
She had entered the prfrlor one day
awhile before dusk, and, ensconcing her
self in a great casy-cha(r that was almost
concealed by tho heavy draperies of a re
cess, fell Into a light slumber, from which
she was roused by a strange, stifled sound
of a human voice.
It was dark lo the aoarlro'cnt, but, as
Felicia raised her head woinlerlngly, she
heard the sound again a woman's sobs
If ?
Live and Let Live."
fcald Nell Harford's voice. "Your tears uu-
hianme. I caMot leave 5 ou like this Oh,
do not make It So hard for rue!"
Felicia slatted and her hands locked to
gether. Was that her lover with the brok
en, agonized voice, her cousin weeping be
fore him?
"Hard for you," repeated Carlfey, trc'mtr-
louslr. "You cannot suffer as I do, Nell
But I will try, for the end Has come. NeJt't
week ycu will wed her"
"Anil love you forever. 'Oh, Cnrley, 1
have loved you fftm the Instant I saw you I
I know tidfr I never loved Felicia. I art
mlrcd.Ti'er womanly qualities, hut now, my
darling, fco'uld it n'ot be better td tell her
the truth "
Atid break her "heart? No, no: that
must1 pol be. , I owe her debt 9 grati
tude, it would J6 unjust. Yon must for
get me."
"You ask hie to fdrgct you., You are
cruel. Twill ndt. I will tell her Oic truth
and then I will be free to win you."
"No,- Nell, it cannot be."
"It shall bel" he cried hoarsely; ''for
your sake, Carley, Why, do you think 1
will give you up ri6w?"
There was the ring of fierce detcrmlna.
tlon In his tones. Felicia crouched there
upon tho cushions, and lUteried with bated
breath for the answer.
"You alarm' nie," said Carle'v. "I I
did not think it would go so far. But you
must not ld that, for I can never be
yours."
"You -jcstl" cried Nell. "What! have
you blit trifled with me? are you but a coquette-,
A'nd Is jour beautiful face the mask
that covers a cruel heart? Carley, toll Itl'e
you are jesting."
But .-ho did not answer hint, and her si
lence seemed to lirAnd lier with guilt.
"1 seo It all," said Nell Harford. "Yon
won my heart because It was pastime for
you. You thought I would wed your cous
in, and you would never he reproached.
Is this true? Speak, or I shall believe jou
guilty-"
"I" began Carley, and thou burst In
to tears; bill Nell had been fully roused,
and he was not Inclined to mercy.
".Speak!" lie demanded. ''Say to me,
'I have deceived you,' aud 1 will leave you
forever."
A silence, and thcu through the room
came these words, i'o faintly tittered that
the woman among the drapciles scarcely
heard them.
"Go, then, I have deceived you."
Thero was a low cry, the sound uf a clos
ing door, and then Carley fell upon her
knees, while" tho tears Went couisiug down
her cheeks.
"Heaven fdrglVe liio for that falsehood;"
she sobbed. "1 love.hiui, I love hi nl, litil
I must uot wreck her happiness. Oh; lny
heart will break, and he he believed me
false."
Felicia crou'clled there and heard it all,
heard th pite'dtts sobs, and knew that the
happiness"' dt two llyes lay itt her power to
make dr mar, yet she never moved, neycr
spoke.
Her first Impulse was to rush forward and
raise tlib weeping girl in her arms, and say
to her:
"Cousin Carley, frctl ikrford's love Is
yours. I release him."
Then all the blttcrucss in her nature
arose, and her gray eyes flashed with fire.
"She shall not take him frdni me; her
beauly has bewitched him; hut in tlmo he
will Idvo trie ills wife. He docs not guess
I know- the truth we will both bo silent."
Bt!t an uonr later Nell Barford, pale and
agitated, came to her and told her the
truth.
"Your cousin does not love me," he said,
and though Fellcl'i's better nature rebelled
at the false part Slid was playing, she did
not contradict his wrifds. "I could not de
ceive you, Felicia. 1 will eudeavor to live,
down a passion whose object Is so tin
worthy, and If, knowing this, you can be
happy, I will bo a true husband lo you."
Shu know ho would prefer relcAse; that,
ihouall lib prdted a true husband, lie would
never be a loving one; she knew, too that
through all the years to Come, the know
ledge the possessed would embitter her life,
jet she would not give hlni up.
I will tench you lb forget her. Nell,"
she said, but fioni that uloiu'ent her peace
of mind was gone, artd lier pride stuiig her
with sharp reproaches that she had been
so weak.
What a week that was for all of them.
Nell did his best to retain the old, eareless
manner. Felicia was more silent, but be
neath the ni.isl; of composure was a tem
pest of fierce emotion, and pretly Carley
wore a sa.ideried look that ceeuicd out of
place on that dliilpled, rose-tinted face.
The wedding was to be a quiet event, to
the disappointment of the people near
tenwlck, no Invitations had been' extended
outside of the Immediate family, rind on
the crenhlg Iri question, thero were less
than A sco're gathered In the prettily decor
ated parlor.
In the room above we're rc'llclrt, her
cousin and Leila, the maid. The wedding.
dress, was spread upon the bed; a stilruuicr-
Inj mass of satin and lace; and Carley
stool Hear the dressing-case admlilng the
iet of pearls that was to coutplete the bridal
toilet.
';t wonder yotf did riot plan to go down
In vour traveling suit, Felicia," she said.
"1 on are tn so away so soon. But per
uana yon havb a grain of vanity In your 11a
lute."
I leave vanity 16 those that have more
beauty than brains." said Felicia, coldly,
"I have always thought that whlto was the
fitting apparel for a brld."
She was standing before the long mirror
in her black silk dressj and now she raised
her eyes and looked at her reflected face
earnestly.
"Come, you will be late," said Carley,
who was feigning a gaye ty she could not
feel. "I want tb see you in your wedding
dress."
Felicia did not move, but a change came
over her face.
"You want to sefe mo In uiy wedding
drcis," she repeated slowly, but she did
not move.
Down stairs were the bidden guests.
The bridegroom waited for her, but she
stood there engrossed In thought with the
gravest faro a bride ever wore.
As though in the mirror she saw tier
true self, a sudden realization came to her
of the seriousness sf the steD she was about
to take. An unloved wifel She shuddered
as the turned away, and a flush ros to ner
It." V II
"Leila," she said, and whispered a com

"Carley, come liorc remove your dress

Almost before the howl'dcrcd girl could
realize what her cousin was doing, she
stood arrayed la the satin garments that
fitted her slender forui. perfectly.
"Felicia, what nro you doing?" sho
asked, ss her cousin throw the tulle vail

string of pearls.
She thought her comnanlon had sudden'

Sho snalcYic.1 Carley's hand, and dashing
aside the heavy curtains that fell from the

where Nell Birrord stood.
"Leila said" he began, and then was

She kissed Carley when tho tlmo for de

THE OLD FOOT.
I am very hluch of an old fofjy. I long
for young men and maidens uf the Puritan
stamp. But, as one of tny perl voting
nephews says, I guess jr. can "take It out In
longing." Often, when I am expatiating
011 boys and girls of tho by-gone days, this
same nephew brings me up short with a
"Whacher glviu' us?" that makes by blood
run cold.
I fancy I hear Miles Standlsh talking
that way to his uncle. I fancy I sec lilies
and Prlscllla seated ou n Boston borsc-car
conducting themselves In the following
pleasing nlanner:
They sat opposlto mo on the car. lie
was a dapper youth; faultless as to linen
and the lit of his clothes'. She was a sweel
faced, innocent looking girl, with a black
and yellow toboggan capon a wildly banged
lipad of hair. He began by saying:
"I made a new mash at tho toboggan last
night."
"Yes, you did In a Horn," was the staid
and demure reply.
"Bet your life I did," ho says.
!'Bet Jou didn't'."
"Well. I did 'that, and, I tell you she's a
lalsy, too."
"Oh, give us a rest."
"Well, it's a faet al! thi same; Who was
that lah-dc-dah Jott wire with?"
" 'Lah-de-dah,' Indeedi He was my very
best young maiij and, I tell ybu, he's a
dandy ch:in:"
"Yaas, he Is."
"Ho Is that, and don't you forget It. Mj
heart's smashed all to flinders."
"Yes, yotl look that way. Next thing
wo know you'll lie we'll, won't you?"
"Not that anybody knows. Tho man
don't walk tho earth that I'd tie to."
'Oh, git out! I've heard that kind of
talk before."
'Git odt yourself, smartyl Oh. sav vou
know that dude of & lianv St. Clair, dou't
you?"
"Well, I should smile."
"Well, Tilly Barton Is said to be dead
gone 011 hint."
"No?"
"Yes."
"Pshaw !"
"Did you ever?"
"No, I never.".
"He's no good."
"He's a dandy, he Is."
'Yaas, lie is,' said this Miles Standlsh of
18S0, with elaborate' coUrlb'syi
'Oh, you' exclaimed Prlscllla:
But I got up and left the cur, longing
more than ever for a return of the grand
old days when nialdens were modest and
men manly-.
Bangs Wanfed to1 Stand a Strain.
It Isn't every girl who will tell on her
self but one did. She came to the store and
returned a fine pair bf bangs she had
bought the day previously. "Can you not
sell me tioino that will not come off?"
"Comoolf! Why, these will stay with
very little care."
"Oh, they are horrid. They catch on
collar-buttons and pull off."
The proprietress fainted, the assistant
fell or the chair ami screamed "What!"
while the young lady departed b'angless and
u itho'tit her cbapge.
A NATURAL LAWYER.
A man dropped In on a Stockton lawyer the
other day and wanted to borrow ten dollars.
"Haven't got It." said the lawyer.
"Well," returned the modest man, "can't you
borrow It for me?"
"I might, but 5011 must pay back that five dol
lars you borrow ed of me a j ear ago, first."
"Ho left. Tlio noxt day li came again and
brought the live dollars.
"Thank you, thank you," smiled the member
of tho bar, pocketlug the piece,
"That ain't the proper thing to say, 'thankyou'
Is too tame.
"Vcs."
"Yes."
"What should' I say, then?"
"Why. you ought to say, 'Come on, old boy,
let's go down and havo somelliln'.' "
"Well, then, come on, old boy,"
"Thy went down and had something, and the
"old boy" called up all his frfends. There was
Just three dollars" aud ten cents left out of the
naif casle.
"That afternoon tho "old boy" dropped lu on
the lawyer again.
"How about that ten dollars?1' lie asked.
"What ten dollars;"
"Why that ten dollars you vlef e going to lend
me If I brought back the Ovc. I've come to get
It."
