A WISH.
From din and strife of town afar,
.J in summer I would find a homo
Set in tho green fields like a star,
That bums in heaven's snpphlro dome;
And like the placid sweep of sky
Around that Jewel ot tho night,
I'd bavo the clover meadows lie,
Wbcrin the bees should find delight)
A winding silver brook to play
Tbo pebbly music of its mlrtli.
To mirror bcarcu's milky way,
And bo Its echo on the earth.
For clouds bo mine the fringed trees.
In whoso leaf arches birds might bide.
And hang their cradles in tho brcezo
And rock their young upon Its tide.
My paths, paved by the sun and shade.
Swept by tho wind and washed by dew.
Should be mosaics deftly laid,
.Forever fresh, forever new.
Such be ray Bummer home, where tlrao
t So softly, unrecorded, goes.
That life seems like melodious rhyme
Set In tin world's majestic prose.
And as tho star-otght overpast
Dies In the dawn's dew Bcented breath
Lord, be it mine, to find at last
' Day on the morning side of death.
Frank Dempster Sherman la Youth's Com
panion.
LOWLAND FOLKS.
Tho "nines Place," as It waB called,
was a snuattor's tarm." Tliat is, Tom
Hinca had dumped his wagon load of
household goods down by tho highway
at a certain spot, built a brush shanty to
shelter his family for a fow days, and
eventually erected a rudo log cabin, and
thcro ho had stuck for tho last flfteon
years Ho had "brushed" over two or
thrco acres of land around tho house and
raised a little corn and a fow bushels of
potatoes, and I found him sitting on his
doorstop as good natured and contont as
a houso cat after a full meal.
"Powerful glad to soo ycr powerful
glad,V ho said as wo shook hands. "Tho
6tago,drivor was n-saying you'd bonlong
touayi anu i was sorter on mo watcn.
You lhar, Jenny?"
A woman appeared in answer to tho
call, and tho man said:
"Jenny, this is he 'un. Stranger, Jen's
my Olo woman. Wo vo got a boy named
Hoses, but he's oil arter roots. Now
como right in and feel homo made."
Tho cabin consisted of ono room about
sixteen feet square. Thero was a tiro
place, tvto beds made of poles, a .rude
shelf on which wero a few dishes, an old
clock which did not go, a riflo renting
on deer Horns, a fow garments hanging
to pegs and a photograph of Cleveland
tacked to tho logs, iho cash inventory,
outside of tho rille, would not havo been
So. I expected to hear tho woman begin
tho usual "nagging" after a bit, and tho
man to start off with "excuses, but noth
ing of tho sort took place. On tho con
trary, as soon as I had been furnished
with a'bitoof cold bacon and corn bread.
and washed it down with a summer
tonio mado of roots, we went out for a
smoko, and Ulnus inquired;
"Howus yo flndin' tho pcoplo along
tbo JoddH -
"Much discouraged."
"Over what?"
"Oh, tho weather and so on
"That's its' liko 'em, tho onery, fault
finders! When it isn't ono thing'it'o an
other. Stranger, kin yo oxpect to find
bettor weather than this outsido of
heaven?"
Hardly."
"That's what I say. Yo found iuo3t
of 'em lazy and shuckless, I reckon?1
"Yes."
Well, it's nobody's f:-.ult but thar'
own. Things uon't looir very peart
around yero, do they?
"Well, no."
"Thar's reasons fur it. In tho fust
nlaco I'm a sriuatter. Can't tell whei
I'll hev to pull up nnd git. Tharforo, yo
can't expect mo to rush things. In tho
next placo wo hov 'null to" eat and w'ar,
and that's all wo want. Wo Is pora folks,
and wo is satisfied t6 be."
"Thero aro very few that way."
" 'Zactly, stranger, and that's what
nils this nashun, Thar' hain't 'nuiT phil
osophy about common folks. Now, then,
sposin tho president should pint mo
postmaster down at Itcd Bridge? I Can't
read nor write, an' I can't tallr grammar,
an- I'djist feel onery mean all tho time.
S'posen that Jay Gould should send mo
down a kerridgo an' bosses as a froo gift
IIov I got ary placo to stable them bosses
an' put that kcrridgc? How would 1
look ridm' 'round theso yoro parts in a
thousand dollar rigl"
"Then you don t want to bo rich?
"Yes, I do, but 'tain't fur mo. When
I got growed up to 21, an' found myself
pizen poro, an homely, an' long shanked,
an' ignerent, I knowed figures an' riches
wasn't fur me. I cut my sticks acordin'.
That's jist tho way with Jen, too. Jen,
como out yoro an talk.
Tho woman camo ont, lighted her pipe
and sat down, and her husband eon'
tinued:
'Jen, ho'un thinks it mighty nuaro
that wo don t yarn fur bizness an riches.
Tell he un how you feel about It.
'You was pizen poro an Ignerent,
sho said as she looked over to him, "an'
I was all that bilcd down an' mo , too. I
knowed right oft that riches wasn't fur
us, an so I dtdn t yarn fur em."
"And you aro content to Hvo as you dot
"Pooty nigh, stranger pooty nigh. If
I had a hull pound of sixty cent tea an'
flvo pounds of brown sugar in tho cabin
all to once I wouldn't trade places with
any woman in tho 6tate.
"Yo seo, it's llko this," said Uw hus
band as 1 10 dug up tho sou with a stick.
"If wo was wantin we u hoy to hov
flno house Then wo'd hov to furnish it
an' git hired help. Then we'd hov to hev
watches an' diamonds nn' slch, an' good
clothes, an' go to tho Aheatre, an' travel
runu. on' keep dressed up, an' talk
8WCCtim. bo whar" would tho comfort
como in? It's too much to put on a pus-
son's shoulders.
"Ho 'un is jist right," added tho wife.
'Wo's poro an' can't git uo bettor on.
What woa cot wos got. What wo
hoven't cot don't hurt nor help us."
A couplo of men, going tti mm witn a
fow bushels of corn in a cart, came along
just then and 6topped to get a drink of
water nid "clutter" with us,

Conquest nf tho Smoker.
Tho following littlo incident is worth
noting as arising out of a great change
in national custom.
Scenrj A railway carriage, occupied
by an enormous man smoking a cigar,
with which ho makes tho atmosphcro ro-
somblo tho Strand in a November fog,
and a thin, nervous person, with a bag
of sandwiches. Says tho latter: "I beg
your pardon, sir, but will It incommodo
you if I venturo to catr Tho former,
with a gracious wavoof tho cloud giving
weed: "Not at all."
Twenty or thirty years ago this would
havo looked liko burlesque. Then tho
smoker had only a baro toleration afford
ed him. Ho was not allowed to iudulgo
lus favorito propensity oven on tho plat
form of a railway station, but was
warned oil by placards, which may still
bo seen at somo stations. Tho accom
modation provided lor him was poor
and scanty, and woo bctido him if he
ventured to tako any liberties in prohib
ited places. Now ho has things all his
own way-. To his supremo will and
pleasure tho misguided persons who do
not smoko must conform, and wherever
friends meet arrangements aro mado for
his convenience, wliilo oven thoso strong
minded ladles who assert their- rights
to attend public dinners and other
functions heroically enduro rather than
protest against tho onco detested fumes.
Tills is nico for tho smoker, who wotdd
go to fow dinners if deprived .of what

"My friend," ho said, as ho entered a
shoemaker shop on Oratiot avenue. "1
should liko to sing you a song." -"How
much you charge?"
"Not a red cent."
"Vhas it a nico song?"
"Very nico. I am sure you will bo
pleased with it.".
"Vhell, go uhead.-
Tho man drew a long breath and start
ed oil. It was un awful noise. It was
intended to lift tho shoemaker right oil
his bench. It did so, and after tho first
verso ho said:
"Maypo you haf somo object?"
"I have, my dear sir. While I don't
chargo anything for singing, I do cliargo
twenty-uvo cents to stop.
I seoj vhell, I vhas going down to
Sprmgwolls for dis afternoon. While I
doan shargo you to como in, 1 mako you
pay feefty cent to get out.'
And ho stopped out and locked tlio
door, and for two hours tho itinerant

knowledged that thero wero better

Tho young professor of magic stood
beforo his audience outwardly calm, but
his heart was beating' wildly. Ho was
about to perform his greatest, most be
wildering, most mystifying feat of le
gerdemain.
In a dull red brick building that stood
in tho middle of a row of other dull red
brick buildings in an old dull red brick
town on tho Mississippi river, a short dis
tance below Alton, was the hall in which
tho performance was taking place. On
tho outsido tlio sluggish footfall of an oc
casional pedestrian making his way
drearily homoward through the grass
grown street could bo heard. And in
tho stillness' that now reigned in tho
room, superadded to tlio almost sepul
chral silenco that brooded liko a pall
over tho 'decaying villago, tho"ear could
catch tho faint swish of tho grand old
highway of rafts nnd mud cats whoso
waters, on their way to tho distant gulf,
smeared tho piers of tlio East St. Louis
and Cnhokia bridge.
Tho excitement of tho prestidigitator
had communicated itself to his auditors.
In breathless expectation they awaited
his next movement. Uo stood with ono
hand resting lightly on tho cover of n
mysterious joylinder, and tho other ex
tended toward Iho audience.
"Will somo person in tho room pleaso

Half an hour later a crestfallen pro

Uoeau't See Why Ho Was Insulted,
A Norwich boy who had been out into
tho wilds of Preston on a frog lmnting
expedition was met by a farmer, who
asked him if ho had met a boy driving
two or thrco cows on tho road.
"I haven't," replied tho boy.
"Ho was a queer looking, half witted
boy in a bluo jumper," tho farmer went
on to say.
Tho frog hunting boy then asked
"Was ho your son?"
"No, you fool," replied tho fanner se
verely,
"no looked more liko your
brotherl"

mako out what tho farmer insulted him
