ONLY A BABY'S GKAVC.
"Only a baby'n grttvel'
Some foot or (wo at the most
Of star dulslrd od ; yet I think tbat God
Knows what that 11 ttlo cost.
"Only a baby's gravo!''
To children even so small,
That they sit there and sing, so small a thing
Scums scarcely a grave at all t
rt
"Only a baby's gravel"
Stranpcl how we moan and fret
For a liltlo fuce thnt was hero a space
Ob I more strango could we forget 1
'Only a baby's grave!"
Did wo measure grief,
Few tears were shed on our baby dead
I know bow they full on this.
'Only a baby's grave!''
"Will the littlu lire be much
Too pinall a gem of Bis diadem,
Whose kingdom is made of such!
"Only, a baby's grave!"
Yet often wo come nnd sit
By the little stone, and thank God to own .
Wo tiro nearer to Una for it.
EMMA'S KXPCKIEACE.
Emma sat dreaming on tbe lower step of
the. brond, low rooted porch, with her cliiu
resting- ou one. brown little band, and a mis
ty depth of liffht iu her 'clour gruy eyes
dreaming us girls of eighteeu will dream, or
a future far olf nnd radiant that somehow
ucver rot'olviM itself iuto tbu present u to
morrow t hut never beomes to-duy.
The old clock ou the kitchen shelf hud just
struck lour the ufteruoon fcuuoliiuo whs
showering dowu, in u short of gulden spray,
through the low boughs of the. great old
cherry tree, wlii-re the 'red ox-hearts' hung
like jeweled peniluut, and the busy brown
robins fluttered iu and out, uud oiunge-bi'lt-eii
lieos keept np alow, murmurous Luin, like
breaker!!, far out on tiie tsc-u of the tuuny uir
Slio wus a rosy little lass, this herojne of
ours, jound cheeks wliere the rriuiHoii of per
fect heal; It glowed through u veil of Biuiburn,
mid u dimpled mouth red and fragrant us u
clovo pink a genuine country girl, us un
coesc ously gruei-ful in ull her moveineuts as
the silvergreeti wheat now npp'ing iu tlio
suiiimer bret-zc. Xot nu orliimlox beauty,
but u very lovely, lovuble little personage us
shti sat there in her bioivn gingham dress uud
ruffled while apron, witli her buu-bouuet ou
the porch, lioor beside her.
Of what wtis she musing? The old, old
subject of reverie tin) old reiruiu'to every
song iiim! For Kinina Jloydon wus iu lovo
or, ut till events she fauciec! slip was aud it
is wonderful ho1 completely fancy will some
times asMimo the throui; t)f realiiy.
As blip sal there smiling to herself, with
drooping lushes uud fleeting rose-shadows on
Imr cheek, u linn tpiick footstep sounded ou
thu garden path, where long eprays of spicy
sweet-brier trailed, uml double rows of cur
rant bushes hung full of ruby-spurkling
fringes iu level suu-bcums Thuruo Milling
ton's step.
'Kiiiiiiu,' he said pleadingly, 'will you walk
up Craig Uiil with me this ufteruoon? The
young people of the vilagu are ull going, uud
you seu how delightful the weather is. Come,
titiiua, it is so long siuce you walked with
me.
No Emma wouldn't. Thorno Milliugton
looketl hurt.
'Why not?'
'I don't know that I nm obliged to render
u reason for every action of my 1 i lu. It it too
w. rin; besides I am tired '
Thvriio lonked ut her with a mournful, in
credulous gravity in hjs dark eyes.
'You would not have ans,vered me so once,
Emma.
Emma tossed li'T pretty little satin-f niooth
head uutil thohuir- ius trembled among its
braids.
'I Mippose I nm free to select my owu
mode ol speech, Thorno Milliug:ou.'
Free? Yes, F.imua, since you w:su to be
free. '
Eminii was silent Apparently sli3 was in
tently comparing thu stripes on two blades
of ribbon grass that hung' over tho wooden
btep ut lie side, but Milliugton wus uot so
easily repulsed. We cling with wouderons
tenacity to life, and to Thorne tho love thut
had grown up in his heart for pretty, wilful
Emma Hoy. Ion wusomethiu stronger uud
better than life.
'Why don't you sny at once that you nre
expecting your lino city lover?' ho question
ed, somewhat bitterly. Emma In ted her
bead, blushing nnd imligiiaiit.
'Thome, you tiie goiug too far. Yon have
uo right to catechise urn so.'
, 'Have 1 uot Emmu?' he questioned in
tones where the sharp pain seemed to pierce
through the words.
'Certainly you have uot.'
'Well I will iutmdo uo longer. I see
tbat your thoughts uud miud ure ulsewhero.'
Uo paused u moment, perhaps hoping tbat
Emma might speak u word to detain biin.
But she did not; uud the next momeut she
was alone in tbeyullow glow of the ufteruoou
sunshine.
It might have beeu five minutes it might
huvo beeu ten thut she tut there counting
ribbou-grass blades, uud listening to- thu
drowsy hum of insects; uud then there
was another click of tho little wicket gate
uuother footstep riugiug clearly on tbe grav
eled path.
(Ah, if Thome Milliugton could have seen
the up-uushiug crimson of ber cheek, tho
brightening sparkle of bor eyes now, be
would have fallen more hopelessly into the
clutches of the 'green-eyed monster' thun he
already was uud tbut was, to say tbe loasl
of it, quite unnecessary.)
'Emma! My littlo wild tosel All alone?'
lie was handsome, with his black, flashing
eyes, and his white, shapely hands, us be
cume up to ber with a curessiug familiarity
of voice uud manner that bespoke uo uuce
taiuty us to bis reception.
Oh, Sydney, 1 uui so glad you happened
to camo this afternoon! Uncle und uuut are
gone out'
Uime, tbut'iluck,' said Mr. Syduey Fair
fax, establishing himself ou the lower step
at her feet, und possessing himself of on? of
her bands with a sort of easy gallantry thut
'told' fearfully against tbe respectful rever
ence in which 'J home Milliugton wus wont
to told ttM wayward beauty.
'They nre so cross!' pouted Emma.
'The old Vandals!' interjected Mr. Fair
fax. 'Becanseyon know,' went on Emma, 'they
like Thorne Millington '
'SpeakH very badly for their taste,' said
Fuirftix, Emma laughed and colored.
'Cut, Sydney, it makes iu very bad for me.
1 am very miserable, and wheu you are
gone'
'Don't fret, mia cara; I shall come back to
claim you soon, and then they may scold the
end of their tongues oil"! '1 here; smile again
my little queen of hearts. I dont lik to see
tlm least shadow eclipsiugtbe light of those
eyes!'
And Emmu did 'smile nirain. ' Somehow
in tho glamour of his presence she forgot all
the questious she hud meant to ask expla
nations that should biive beeu demuuded.
At length be rose to depart
'I have lingered too long ulrendy, Emma;
but I could not bear to tell you that I nm
going back to New York lo-mouow morning.
, 'To-morrow moruing.'
Sidney Fairfax would have been more than
mortal bud he not beeu gratified with the vn
conscious flattery conveyed in Emma's puling
cheek nud diluted eyes! And, striving to
sooth her, he almost forgot, fo the timo be
11)2, that he wus playing a part.
It was nearly u week ul'terwurd, when Annt
Tbyrza Itoydon the kindest soul in the
world, but a little prejudiced and opiinona
ted withal, as kind souls often ure brought
her knitting work iuto tho porch where Em
ma sat, idly pulling tho houcy-sucklo cups
apurt.
'Child, what are you dreaming about?'
'Xotbing!' auswered the girl, a littlo petu
lautly. '
'You've grown so shiftless of late! Do go
up stairs and bring yoni new calico; you
might just as well run up tho breadths ns to
be doiug nothing!'
'I uni not in a hurry for the dress, aunt!,
'Theu finish altering my brown foulard.'
'I don't feel like it, mini.'
Mrs. Itoydon eyed her niece keculy through
her silver-rimmed spectacles.
Emma! what on earth ails you?'
,'Nclhing, aunt!'
Vnd what's thu reason Thoruo Milliugton
don.t coma bero any more?'
'1 urn not Thome Miliingtou's keeper,
Aunt Tbyrza,' uuswered Emma, with spirit.
Mrs. Uoydou wus about to require uu ex
plantation in full from ber capricious uiece,
when her impending torrent of words was
checked by the appearance ot UdcIo Muthew
coming np the wuik.
'I've beeu to tho post oflico.' quoth Undo
Muthew, fanning himself wilb tho wide brim
of his straw hut; 'und here's a letter for Em
ma, with the New York post-murk. Who's
it from, my girl?' us Emma caught it from
bis hut!,, ruddcuing uud paling alternately.
'It's it's from Mr. Fairfax.'
'From Mr. Fairfax, ehT' Uncle Mathow's
brows contracted gloomily. 'Audit's from
that good-fordiothiUg puppy you've thrown
Thome Miilingtou over, eh? tjive me buck
the U tter. Emma; let ni" return it io him.
1 don't like my girl to be corresponding with
such us he !'
Hut Emma held tightly on to the precious
missive.
'It's my letter, Uncle Muthew! nnd you
must uot speak so slightingly of Mr. Fuii fax.
I am engaged to him!'
Aunt Tliyiza dropped her kuittiug-work.
Uncle Muthew stared.
'This won't do Kmma; you must givo him
up! Why, what do you know of Lint? A
mere city udveuturer; while Thorne Milliug
ton '
I'm tired of hearing of Thorno Milling
ton 1' interrupted Eniinu, trying desperately
to keep buck thu iudijuant tears, 'I will uot
give Sydney up!'
'Emma!'
'Xo! I will never givo him up!'
'Then you must givo us np, child,' said
the old man, gravely; 'I will bo obeyed.'
Emma run up to her owu room, flushed
and sobbing to read ber precious letter.
Oil, if Sydney could but knew how sho was
tyrannized over! uud iu ber secret soul Em
ma resolved to break these bonds.
Presently she cume down stairs ngain,
with red eyes uud resolutely compressed lips
Uncle Muthew uud Aunt Thtrzu looked up
us she entered; they bud evideutly been talk
ing about her iu her absence.
You urn not going to unswer tbe letter,
Emma?' said her uncle. 'Milo Fieldiug tells
me that your Mr. Fairfax'
1 will not listeu to a word against him,
undo Muthew,' interposed Emma, bifiug ber
lip to keep buck oven move rebellious words.
1 shall certuiuly unswer that letter.'
'Then you ure no nieco of uiiue, Emma.'
'Emmu child listeu to rt'iison,' urged
Auut't'byrz.1, nuxiously. But Emma would
listeu to nothing. She went out iu tbe gar
den, and so ibrougb the rustling corn-fields
to thu roud that led to tho village post-office.
And the next morning, wheu Aunt Thyrza
went up stairs to cull Euiinu down to break
fast, her littlo wbite-druped room was teu
uutless tba bird had taken wing!
'My goodness gracious!' ejaculated Aunt
Tbyrza, with uplifted bauds, 'Muthew!
Muthew! Come up stairs quick! Shu's beeu
uud gone and eloped!"
At the same moment Emma Boydon, io
a cozy corner seut iu thu expies.i train wutch
ed thu flyiug landscape, and wondered with
throbbing heart, what tiiduey Fairfax would
say to her how he would receive her! Wus
it uot just possible tbut she had iloue an un
wise thing in thus highly reseutiug a harsh
word or two from tho kiud old uncle who hud
sheltered uud guarded her all her life? But
tbo irrecoverable step wus taken; it was now
too lute to return uutil she returned as Syd
ney Fairfax's wife! As Sydney Fairfax's
wife! Emma gruw rosy beneath her browu
veil as she thought of the possibility.
New York! What a veiy Dublu nf sound
ing uprour, of dusty tumult it seemed to our
little couutry bred damsel, as tiha emerged
from the covered depot into the uoisy, bril
liant street.
"Carriage, m'm! carriage!"
"Yea," said Emma., timidly. "I want to
go to No. 815 Muyduke street"
"All right ni'inl ' cried the backmau, bang
ing the door of bis vehicle upon bis half-ter-riliud
"lair," and driving recklessly down
tbo street Emmu drew a long breath,
partly of relief. Yes it was too Iuto to go
back now.
"Here you are, m'm!"
Emma started from ber reverie as tbe Jehu
sprung from his seut and opened the door.
'Is Tuts Muyduke street?" -
"Yes, rn'm No ei5.'
It was uo balconied mansion of brown
stone, draped with wisteria, as Mr. Fairfax
hod so often described bis homo no wide
street, glittering with stately equipages, as
she hud been led to suppose, but a tull red
brick, house, with wide opeu door, through
which you caught u glimps of bare floors
and cai pelle?s stuirs, in a narrow, foul-smelling
street, wliere children pluyed in the gut
ters, and fifth rate grocery stores displayed
their wares!
She paid tbo hnckmnn nn-exorbitant price
of course and dismissed him, eutering the
bouse with a sinkiug heart and hesitating
footstep.
"Does Mr. Fuirfux live here?" asked
Emma.
"Mr. Fuirfux? Are you one of his friends?"
demuuded ikt) woman.
Emma colored in spite of herself, but be
fore she could frame uu appropriuto answer
in her confusion, tbe woman weut nu.
"Sidney Fairfax Algernor Ryder Fitz
Albyn Clare, Cull him any uume you please,
they all belong to him; nnd a preeioni scoun
drel be is; took up lor counterfeiting' only
lust night, and his poor wife "
."His wifk!
"Yes. If she hadn't been down sick
through his neglect and brutulity I'd have
turned hep out o' doors; for my bouse has nl
wuvs been a respectable one, nnd not a red
cent of bis board huve I ever seen! I knew
he wus a scamp, mind you, because bo "
"Stop! There must surely bo souio mis

"No," she said abruptly. "My business

will go "back!"
The afternoon express was just starting
when Emma, pule and jaded, entered one of
thu rearcurs. She glanced hesitatingly along
the rows of seats; there wus but oue empty,
aud the other half nearest tbe window was
occupied by a gentleman. There was uo help
for it. however, und sho udvunced, timidly.
"Is this w;nt engaged, sir?"

"I beg your pardon, Miss. Itoydon," he
said, cremoniousiy, lilting his hut "I will

He was turningawny when Emma laid her
hand tremulously ou his arm.
"Please, Throne, dou't go away from mo,"
she faltered. "I'm lonly, and and "
Her voico died away into a laiut fluttering
sort of a sob. Throne Milington turned

tumult ut bis heart. Somehow, the words
seemed to boar u sweet significance far oeyoud
their ordinary import.
"Emilia, you know I never should have

Emma toid him. All pride, all resentmeut
all stubborn secret iveuess, bud died out of
her poor wounded littlo heart; mid the
strength nnd shelter of Thorne Milington's
manly presence seemed to be the sweetest of

We copy the following from the April num

The head thut shook at the Easy Chair
said, after prolonged wagging: 'Of courte
one who wutches tho signs ot the times close
ly, like an Eusy Chair, has already come to
tbe inevitable conclusion?'
This was spoken interrogatively, and the
Easy Cuair assumed an air or profound at
tention. 'I mean,' said the Wagger, 'that you have
seen that we are all played out.'
This assertion was followed by a most em
phatic and significant shake.
'All played out?' asked tho Eusy Chair,
doubtfully.
'I mean,' continued the shaking head, 'that
wo Yaukccs are run out, uud the origiuul
Yuukce untino has virtually come to nn end.
I am ustonisued that a Chuir of intelligence
and observation has never remarked what is
so very evident."
The Easy Chair naturally felt very much
mortified by its dullness, and peuiteutially
smiled as if it craved forgiveness.
'Very well,' said tho Wagger, ns if gra
ciously pardoning tbe olfeusc, 'do you kiiow
how'many married women thero 4.10 iu the
State of Now York?'
This is the kiud of question to which it
is useless to attempt nn answer. It presup
poses your ignornuce. It is a question de
fiantly brandished at you by consciously su
perior kuowledge, for whoever does know
these statistical details except those who
huve carefully crammed them fur the purpose
of crushiug you? 'You are familiar, of
course, Sir,' says your neighbor at table,
'with tho fact of the war in New Zealand.
Are you aware of tho number of the Maori
population?' Certuii.ly you aro not, and your
neighbor knows it. He merely uses you as
a spring board to facilitate thu bound with

'Do you kuow bow many married women

tho question uskod by tho good muu who
knew perfectly well.
Of courso tho abject ignorance of the
Easy Chair could not bo couceulud, and it
smiled the usual apologetic smile ns if thu
treuchery of its meinoty wus really extraor

answered bis owu question.
'There are eight hundred thousand married
women ip the State of New York.'

ttiechuuicully that A was A; but wheu the
toucher coutiuued, 'and tbat is B,' auswered
warmly, 'Why is that B?' as if he recoguu

IUIRTT-SIX PKRSONS BURNKD TO DEATH EIQII
TEKN BODIES TAKEN ROM THE MINES.
San Francisco, April 7. A fire broke out
this morning, in the Yellow Jacket Mine,
at Gold Hill, Nevada, which soon communi
cated with the Kentuck and Crown Point
Mines. Thus far (I p. m.) eleven bodies
bnvo been taken from tbe shafts of three
mines. Other bodies can be seeu at the bot
tom of the Kentuck shaft, but it is impos
sible to remove them on account of the beat.
It is uucertain how many persons there werri
iu the mines. The excitement und confusion
were so great tbut it was impossible to call
the roll of those nt work. Sixty men wore
nt work in the two levels of the Crown Point
mine. It is not known bow many escaped.
The distress is fearful The wives and chidl
ren of the miners have, congregated at the
entrance of tho mines, and are calling for
their missing husbands aud fathers.
Eight O'clock, Evening. Tho latest re

known to be dead is 3G five in tbe Yellow
Jacket, eight in the Kentuck, und 23 in the
Crown Point Mioo. The fire originuted in
the Kentuck Mine, and is reported now to
be spreading toward the Yellow Jecket shaft.
The firemen huve succeeded in getting hose
down the Yellow Jacket shaft to the level
of thu fire, and hopes ure entertaiued that
the flames will' soon be subdued. If uot,
when all expectations of saving more lives
are abandoned, the mouth of the shaft will
bo closed aud ventilation - stopped, uud the
fire thereby smothered. The ellow Jacket,
Crown Point, mid Kentuck Mines aro uncon
nected with other mines uuder-trround; hence
thero is no piobubility of the tires extending
beyond them.
Virginia City is almost deserted, the
people having gono to tbe scene of the dis
