ONLT AsOXO,
It wai only a simple baJiaJ,
Sun to crel throng ;
There were none that knew the singer.
And fee thai beetled tbe song;
Yet the singer's voice 3as tender
An l sweet, as with lore untold ;
Sarvlv thiK hearts were hardened,
Ti-at it left so hard and cold.
She sang of the wondrous glory
Tnat touches th woods in spring.
Of tLestrar.ga soul stirriug yoices
Wten tbe hi. Is break forth and sins ;
Of the bapry birds' low warbling
Ttie reqiieiu of the day.
And the quiet hush of the Talley,
In the (iiiat of th) gluaruiiig gray. ,
And one in a distant comer
A woman worn with strife
Heard in that ui:g a message
From the !-priug-Urue of her life ;
Fair forms roue up before her,
From the midst of vanished years ;
S!je sat in a happy blindness.
Her eyes were tilled With trars.
Then when the song was ended.
And bushed the last sweet tone.
The listener rose up softly
Alio went on ber way alone.
Ouc more to her life of labor
the passed, but her heart was-sCrrwrp;
And aue prayed, God bless tbe singer!
And, oh. thank God for the sung !"
RALPH S MOTHER
He was a cabinet-maker, ho
worked ail day in beautiful sheets of
roeeoid and black walnut. Sne
s a book f.ildcr. They had be
come acquainted on that stormy au
tumn night when the wind turned
her umbrella inside out and she had
ui run a hail a block after her fiyicg
'iiniier-yarket. Arid then they met
01.ee or twice at church and at the
Liule-cUt of a suuday afternoon,
and old Mr. Tyson, the oiiuiater s
,!e, aked them both to tea. She
tiitd beenyoui.g herself, aud she un
derstood '.he eigne ar.d symptoms.
5o tliey were married and hired a
ueut little t, furnishing it as best
U.ey could.
'Isu t it nice ? ' s tid Emmy, "Oh!
Ralfih, don't you wish we had some
uiie to visit us ?''
i it would be company for you,
dear.7' caid Ralph Cryetal smiling.
'"But there's no one that I know
I of." said Euitnv. -Except some far
away cousins in Dakota. And I
never knew much about them. Oh !
Ralph, haveu'tyou any relations?"
His lace clouded over.
"Idou'lkuow whether I have or
not,'' iranl he. ' Oh, Emmy, God
litlp bib! I've left my past tiehind
me.-'
He had sunk into a chair, with
Lis head in his hands. She went ei
ienly behind him and laid her
theei aait.st hisfirehead.
"Tell me, Ralph," said she, "What
is ii? Why have you never spoken
to me about it before?'
" Recause,' he answered, "I didn't
want to appear like a savage. Al
though 1 don't think I have a claim
to be culled anything else."
'W hat is it, Ralph?" she repeat
ed. "I ran away from home when I
was 10, Emmy, he replied moodily.
"Father wai strict and crots with
o.e I don't say he was rieht, but
iiow, as I look back to it, I know
that I also was wrong.
"I ran away Trom home and I
came to the city to fihtmy way for
111 sell. And when I had earned
ruough to make a little home I 'vent
oack to get my mother out of theat
mouhere that wasn't natural to ber
any more than it was to me.
"1 was a fool to suppite that time
was going to stand still for my con
venience. VLen I got back to
Hickory Falls lather was dead and
the to.ts had moved away no one
si.ew where. Emm, i can't tell
ou how I fe It when I heard it."1
"But, Ralph," soothed the young
wile, "ou will find her. No one
touid ever be lit."
"I've tried, Emrr.y I've tried my
t et. and it's of no ue," he sighed.
Kxmy was s ilctit for a second or
two.
"I ve always wanted a mother,"
he murmured half to her-eif, "and
Ralph's mother would be all the
ion1 a my own."
After that she scarcely devoted
her-elf to thetak of restoring to her
husband the dear old mother whom
lit- had loved and Ioet
One day this little Mi. Crystal,
beii.g economically dtepofed, was
marching through a second hundes-tiiti'i-hn-ent
for a coal scuttle and
Ere-aruiS.
"Lin net goicj to pay outrageous
prices wLen I can get a bargain only
a little Jed," said she, thrutily.
"Could;. t I sell you something
ele, ma'am ? ' said the dealer, with
ifjAt ii:;nuating smile which is pe
culiar to proprietors of second-hand
.-nop!. ' I've a set if red dauuask
cunairs
Eitmy shook her head.
"No," taid she, "I need no cur
tains." "Half a dozen diLirc rrci chair?,
then?" sugbled the in.ir. "Or a
pHir of rel old-fashioned girandolts
with cut-i'a?s drop-?''
But Etnnny Crvstal did cot bear
what he was saying; her eyes were

under the draw-handles, and curious
claw-legs. Just such a one, in troth,
as Ralph was making in the odds
and ends of his time at the shop,
because, as he said, his mother had
a bureau like that.
-Wheie did you get that bureau?
she a-led. quickly.
"Ma'an. ?" gusped the dealer.
"I mean who sold it to yoa?T"

A Chinaman.

who seems to be the confidante of

My story is simply this. I under-

and did what I could to tta-.h him

nothing would do but I must get

went next time determined o get it j
or have the wretch arrested. It was
too bad. He was getting along so
well ; could read a primer, and had
renounctd the worship of idols.
But I would have my garment, and
I told htm so. We were alone in
the back of the shop and suddenly
it was invaded br at least two doz-!
en Chinamen, half the number with!
musical instruments, and tbe reH'
with grotesque food. A Chinese feast '
was opened, and much mnsic o a
diabolical kind indulged in. I
could see I was somehow the heroine
of tbe occasion. Alas ! I was soon
to nndVr-tand it. An alderman was i
shown in and introduced to, me.!
