00 HOME CHEERFUL.
Complain not of your wife, my friend,
If you can't quite agree)
Perhaps you'll find In the end
You're more to blame than she;
And never since those sunny days.
When Kve plucked fruits nnd Doners,
Hnvo her fair daughters' thoughts nnd ways
Timed fully In with ours.
Oh, woman's life, when viewed aright,
Has cares we never know;
Small things. It may be, to our sight,
And light to undergo,
But yet so heavy and so hard
To conquer or defer.
That all our love should haste to guard.
And bless and comfort her I
You have your trials every day;
Hut leave them In tho mart.
The counting-house or by the way,
And take a cheerful heart
To her who alts at homo nnd sighs.
Ami thinks It, oh, l.o,v long
Till you shall lighten Up her eyes
And fill her soul with song t
To women, love nnd sympathy
Are sweet as dew to flowers,
Whllo sho's the dearest Joy that wo
Find In this lllc of ours;
And where her heart Is pure and truo
Whatever be Its care,
these virtues wo should keep In view
AmluU Its trials share!
I WALKING HOME WITH MARY.
ii all the ch inglug scenes of Ilfo
Scenes that so wldch vary
I've never spcht a happier hour
Than walking home with Mary.
How often as a boy. when life
Was young, and glad, and hearty.
By starlight I have seen her homo
From singing school or party.
We knew not then how good they were,
1 ho hours we passed together,
As hand lu hand, with lightsome hearts,
We strolled across the heather.
Though since those days from Mary's side
To distant lands I've wanaered,
The time I've spent away from her
To me seems vainly squandered.
Last nlglit once more I saw her home;
The 9turswero blinking blindly
Through rifted clouds, but Into mine
Her eyes wero beaming kindly.
We talked of all the happy past.
Of pleasures long departed,
And both confessed that oft since then
We had been heavy-hearted.
And ere we reached her father's home
I told her how I'd missed her,
And while we lingered at the gate
I stooped and fondly kissed her.
Before we parted, 'twas agree
Our paths no more should vary;
Js'o more afar from her I'll roam
I'm going to marry Mary.
Through the Gloom.
Br M. E. IIOLAHAN.
Night was falling bleakly oyer the crowd
ed city.
The wind rattled window-panes loose.and
cd around the eaves with a dreary cad-
A leiY straggllnc; snow-flakes mottled the
cold air, but were hardly seen on the frozen
ground and hard pavement below.
I turned fioin tho window, bitterly de
pressed. Surely nothing; could be much
worse than to starve and freeze In the mis
erable sixth story of a New York tenement.
I castono gloomy look over our poor lit
tle suit of rooms. How miserably cold and
destitute of comfort they seemed.
Yet In one lay Alan, asleep now, but sick
unto death. I tip-toed to his side, and laid
my hand gently on his broad, handsome
brow. It was burning up with fever, and
he muttered In his sleep.
. . . . .
l turned away, great bitter tears spiasn-
Ing down my own wan face.
lie was so precious to us, Gwyn and I..
So young, barely fourteen; yet for the bare
necessities of life he must'perUh.
uur last iew precious coais were souuuer-
ly burning In the grate.
For fear they would burn out, I had cov
ered them with ashes and made tbem
smolder dlsnully a fitting accompaniment
to the outer world.
If only Gwjn would cornel What was
keeping her so long? Had she succeeded,
or
I shivered, then took out my purse and
counted Us contents.
Seven shillings 1
A miserly sum to stand between three
people and starvation.
And one of those three people needing
medical care which we, who loved blm to
distraction, could not giye.
I groaned and wrunt; my hands at the
very thought.
Before my mental gaze passed all the
early dreams that had so quickly fallen Into
sear and yellow lines.
We had never been wealthy, but there
had been a time when plenty and comfort
surrounded us.
So might It yet, If
John Leighlon's face came then, and I
turned from that line of bitter, regretful
thought with a dry sob.
I had not loved him then, and perhaps I
had done right.
But It poor, Gwyn and I, were ambitious.
At least we had been, and to this fact
was due our present misery,
I had a talent for literature, and' before
our fathers death had made some slight
success, which caused myself arid friends
to hope for great things In tho future.
QiTjn was passionately fond of painting,
and displayed great talent, needing only
cultivation, many said.
So when our father died, two years ago
we took the proceeds of his Jlfe insurance
all he had to leave us and, leaving the
old friends and life behind, fook np our
abode here, that Alan might haye the ad'
vantages of a good education, and tbat we
two ambitious young fools mleht carve for
ourselves tame and fortune,
Things had gone from bad to worse.
Alan was 111 more than half the time,
Doctor bills, gas, fuel, rent mount up, an
at the end of two years our two thousand
dollars had dwindled down to the miserable
pittance In my purse, while both fame and
fortune seemed further away than ever.
In the school of expedience our early
dreams had been trimmed off and edged
down to dull reality; but too late to b. of
any avail,
A slow, weary step at the door made me
start ana try to oq a smue.
The unwilling muscles proved.lt a ghast
ly failure. They refused to move my pale
lips.
Gwjff came wearUy Id.
It did not need the roll she carried
stamp her errand's frultlesiness.
I taw It Instantly, through tho gloom, tn
the bitter despair of her pretty face.
"My poor Gwyn 1" I exclaimed; "It was
a failure."
"It was a failure 1" In tho bitter echo her
sweet yolce was harshly unmusical. "No
one of tho poor dealers would look at It,
Leonn, and those of the better, more cour
teous ones, shook their heads and said they
could not possibly use It. One of them
called It a mere childish daub. Heavens I
what shall we do?"
"God Is eoodl" even I who uttcfed the
pious platitude, did so mechanically to con
sole her. "He will provldol"
She laughed with reckless bitterness.
My work of a year a mere childish
daub. Bah I I don't think thero Is any
God, Lcona. I think that Is just a beauti
ful myth to make hope before we are hurled
to despalrl"
In dismay and alarm I turned to look at
her. This awful blasphem ywas doubly
awful, coming from my sweet, tender,pure-
minded Gwyn. But she was hardly re
sponsible then.
Like gold-stone under a strong light her
dark eyes were glinting.
Save for a crimson spot' on either cheek.
and tho thin, coral line of her Hps, her face
was Rhastly pale.
A great fear seized me.
Even as I dropped the teapot and sprung
forward to save her, she readied out her
poor little, hands In blind despair and
dropped to the floor.
It was the fevor I knew it.
Somehow I got her to bed, and all night
passed between her bed and Alan's. Both
raved and mumbled unremittingly.
I am sure that night was the longest of
my life. I know that my hair Is prema
turely white, and my eyes prematurely dim;
but I think most of this aging happened ou
that night when I watched over my loved
ones, knowing all the care required to pull
them safely lhrough,and the slender means
had to supply such care.
It took my last cent to purchase the day's
fuel and some quinine" from a druggist
near.
The only eatable thing in the house was
half a loaf of bread, spared by last night's
abstinence.
I knew that my strength must be hoard-
, so sparingly ate from It at nooti, forcing
on my raving patients a bit of buttered
toast.
In my misery, I think some ludicrous
gladness that they did not crave food came
me.
It would have been unbearable to hear
them beg for the unattainable.
Night fell again, bleak, drear, bitterly
cold, and my coal was almost gone.
It required a good fire to keep the raiser-
able apartments warm.
What would I do? What could I do?
I cried out bitterly, and racked my burn
ing brain In despair.
I might write Aunt Pamela; but she had
bitterly quarreled with us long ago. Be
sides; she was tn a distant city. I bad
neither a stamp nor the money to purchase
one.
Our neighbors in the tenement were all
coarse, vulgar people, who Insulted us on
every possible occasion for what tbey called
our "stuck-up gentility."
I think they gloated oyer my misery. I
would sooner die than ask assistance from
them.
But 1' was not a case of my life or death.
Nearer and dearer even than my own were
the liyes dependent on mc now.
The thought lent me a mad recklessness.
They were sleeping quietly now.
An Idea had come to me.
The pawn-shoo!
But what was thero which I could pawn?
Nothing nothing!
In wringing my hands they had grown
woefully thin the inspiration came.
I looked at it mournfully, tenderly, then
gladly. It was a tiny gold band, of curious
workmanship.
On patting, John Lelghton had given It
to me, "in meraorlam," ho said, with a
grave smile, as we shook hands at the
depot.
If he only knew! Yet he was so eood, so
noble, he would have been glad to tblnk it
aided me In a time of dire distress.
I stole from the room and down the end
less stairs.
My head throbbed, my senses reeled.
All the city bells clanged out & joyous
peal, but with bent bead I rushed onward,
bitterly callous of heart.
What mattered Thanksgiving Eve to me?
What had I to be thankful for? Misery,
pilvatlon, sadness more bleak than the
sobbing, wintry winds which pierced my
shabby attire.
At last I passed In under the pawn
broker's sign.
Trembling like a thief, I stated my er
rand to the eagle-faced Jew, and displayed
the beautiful ring to which I had grown so
attached.
lie bit, scratched, scoffed at It couldn't
tale It at all; then at my pitiful entreaty
cave me a few dollars on treasure worth
many.
But my heart bounded joyfully as I se
creted my wealth, and hastening out Into
the street glanced keenly into every face of
the passing crowd.
A man accidentally jostled me. Hooked
up, then fled with a suppressed cry.
I must bo going mad! I had thought so
much of John Lelghton lately, that here, at
the very door of the pawn-shop where I
had bartered his friendly token, my brain
had conceived him looking down upon me
In grave, glad surprise.
Yes, It must haye been some other man
My brain was turning with misery. H'hat
would John Lelghton, happily content In
his plentiful farm-house, be doing fn this
crowded, pestilential city?
I stopped at a drug store. A doctor ac
companled me home with proper medl
clnes.
ne was a good man, with children of his
own; and looking on the misery around
then Into my hollow, haggard eyes, refused
the money I offered, and said he would
come again; he would help me all he
coutd.
Then when he had gone, I fell upon my
knees. In all New York no heart ottered
up more fervent thanksgiving and remorse
for Ingratitude than mne.
Next morning I went out to purchase
some dainties for P3 loved ones, and get
the necessary medicine.
While I stood In the drug-store, a gentle
man tall, handsome, arUtocrstlc Ic, ap
pearance entered and stood looking at me
with keen, gray eyes whllo ho purchasod
soma cigars.
As I turned from the store, he stepped
bcilde me.
"X beg your pardon," he said courteous
ly. "Your name is Miss Kro't, Is It not?
I was In Orll's the other evening. I saw
you thero perhaps you recall? You were
trln, to dispose of your painting. Y0.1
left so hurriedly I had no tlmo to spoai.
then; but if you will let me see the paint
ing again, Miss Frost, I should like to do
so and purchase It. I am myself an artist
Victor Talmaie."
I understood quickly. He look me foi
Gwyn tnls nolcd painter.
The likeness between us was striking, am.
perhaps the pathetic misery of my face ap
pealed to his nobility.
If I could sell Gw n's painting, all would
then bo well. I dared not lose this chance.
"I will show you the painting," . I salu
tremulously. "Gwyn my sister, I mean
the one you. saw at Orll's Is leal fully 111
with typhoid fever."
I thought a shadow crossed his face. He
look the bundles from weak arms, aim
carried them up the long, daik stairway.
1 must bring him iuto the very room
where Gwyn lay tossing and ruYlng; but
what matter?
She would never know, and it mlglii 10
the means of saying her life.
He stood looking down upon her a lonj;
time with grave, reverent pity.
He look her restless little hands In his,
aud counted the throbbing uulscs.
When she begged for water, he held the
cup to her parched Hps.
He stayed half an hour, perhaps, talking
with mc'kmdly; and oven looked lu gently
ou Alan, who was sleeping.
Then, without even looking at the palnt
lug,he gave mo a hundred dollars for it,and
carried it away.
He had hardly gono when a low knock
sounded on the door.
I opened it, thinking he had returned.
.But no I All oyer my paleface leaped a
crimson flame.
There stood John Lelghton, looking at
me with grave, tender eyes.
How, tender,yet strong his arms seemed,
How good a place to rest and sob out all
the pitiful story.
"My darling," he whispered, "why didn't
you let me know. I met you accidentally
on the street last night I had been search
ing for you ages and you fled; .but I saw
where )ou had come from, and traced you
by thlsl" holding up my poor resigned
ring. "Put It on again, Leona, and. dar
ling, you will soon let mo replace it with
another? I haye gone Into business here,
and am wealthy enough to keep you, Gwyn
and Alan In luxury."
But Gwyn did not remain with us long.
How could she when Victor Talmange
swore he could not live without her.
In common gratitude she could do no
more tliau love and marry blm.
JFo are old women now Gwyn and I.
Alan Is a successful lawyer.
Gwyn has painted many pictures, win
ning fame, and adding to fortune.
1 haye written several books, and the
world's caprice has pronounced them suc
cessful; yet we always shudder and wonder
how It would be now If I bad not pawned
that golden circlet.
HEART-HOSQRT.
Ah, the torture of a heart not satisfied I
The desire for the right train of thought
and plane of feeling.
Who has not felt thognawlngs of a heart
unfed? aud who but a sufferer can paint
the misery of a soul thirsting for suitable
nourtshment,and feeding only on the husks
of unappreciated love?
To be rightly understood should be one
of the first laws to govern human nature.
An understanding and knowledgo of self,
to be competent to judge others with char
ity aud discrimination, to bo able to discern
their weakness, and endeavor to make them
strong.
As no two leaves in nature are exactly
alike, no two human beings can be the
same; each has an Individuality of hlsown,
and all require a different treatment.
There would be less coniplalnt,aud hearts
better satisfied. If character were more
carefully stndled.
To us It is a sight most deplorable to
notice so many persops-In life revolving In
soheres unsultod to them; were they lu
their nroner orbits they would shine as
stars of the first magnitude.
Ab, hungry heart, seek for proper food,
and you will be at rest and ease.
Do vou reauire mouev to satisfy Its
ravines? cultivate a contented spirit.
Are you starving for kind words and
tenderness? try to possess them If not
from one source, there may be some other,
Are you craving for intellectual food?
that can be had by a very little effort, as
every Inquiring Is willing to give as well as
to receive,
There is no necessity for so many hungry
hearts if persons would adapt themselves
more to he taste anp comfort of others
One of a refined nature cannot bo happy
with th coarse and rough.
One person can observe a thousand
beauties In a tree, while another has only
the faculty of beholding the tree; one
ideality, the other practical.
Such natures cannot assimilate, and
necessarily tha hearts must hunger.
The characteristics of souio natures are
kindness, thoughtfulneis and .delicacy
while others are reverse, without a thought
lo common, and you might as well expect a
leonard to change his spots" as to nnd
congeniality in such a mixture.
Happiness, of I? n consists In small atten
tlons. Itls not always from, costly sur
roundings, that happiness emanates.
A kind word, a flower given in the light
spirit, . would be wore acceptable than
something of much yalue without, the ac
companiment of kindness.
