Who sehlorn;was much inclined
To think of her many comforts
Or bring hv.blessings to mind,
And never ereiet and cheery
Did the on her errands go,
But always as if her shoulders
Were burned with weight of woe.
Her path to the other country
Was over a bridge of sighs;
There was ever a. tear=drop ready
To fakfrom her weeping eyes,
And not for the woes of others
Was grief or sympathy shown,
But overtake tribulations

It may be an ancient grievance,
A crook that came in her lot -
Long years ago, and by others
Than Peggy had been forgot;
But she at the recollection
Will give to her grief its way,
Till, moistened by dews of feeling,
Her troubles revive each day.
And if shod Welt in a dungeon, _
Built far away undeiground,
She couldn't be wrapped in darkness
More dismal or more protbund.
Mir though the" sun may be 'hitting,

There are somelin the worldyho'd rather

And Piggy's losses and crosses,
The grief and gloom of the put,
That, warmed by a cheerful temper, .
Like snowdrift had melted fast,
Loomed up like a wall before her,
And her brow was with farrows crossed,
And a network of wrinkles covered
Her face—si a smile was lost.
One day the parson to Peggy,
The mourner, zeproathfulli said,
"Why should you with tears be spoiling
The taste of your daily bread ?" .
And Peggy, with look indignajd;
Replied and:elosed the debate,

'No one n help loving Naomi,' said
lbs. Da 'dge, as she kissed her
'daughter -by. ,
But in three weeks Naomi came back,
half frightened ont of her wits.
'He scolds so dreadfully,' said Naomi.
'And he looks at me as the wolf must
have looked at Little Bed Biding Hood.
Oh, mamma, I could not stay there, not

Magdalen Darkridge went next; but
Magdalen, although a fine, tall girl,
with a spirit of her own; was cowed by

said she, 'than to " be Uncle Black's .

And she came homo without loss of

Rhoda Darkaidge, in no wise abash

also summered before the terrible'
cscourge of Uncle Black's tongue.
*lt is scold, snarl, snarl, scold.. from

three dips' time she tearfully related
her experience to her parents. 'Oh,
you don't know-r-nobody can know—
what a dreadful man Uncle Black is!'
'Oh, hang the old scamp!'- said Mr.
Darkridge, who was of a free-and-easy
nature and thought his girls , a great

by any rich old miser. - 'Let him alone.
My daughters need not go begging for
any man's money.'

'We might as well be , in the tropics

Uncle Black gave her the keys that
night, last as he had, three times before
given them to her Wee listen.
'I shall expect you to take charge of
the whole establishment,' said he. 'The
pm-rants are miserable—' -
'No more than one might expect,'

Uncle Black ate the rest of his break
fast with Wit v little appetite. Sylvia,
the housemaid , , was finishing dusting ,
his library as he entered it. 'Not

fretwork of wrfukles once more coming
into his brow. • -
'Sylvia,' said Miss Darkridge, severe

'Dear Uncle,' interrupted Joscelind,

matters. Yon have ruled' your house

altogether too long. I shall now insti

And poor Sylvia bad never moved
about so briskly as she did that day. -
Old John, the gardner, was not ex

bear her uncle reproaching the old- man
for, some - Andel neglect in the flower
beds, whose 'diemonds, ovals and cres
cents of brilliant colors were the pride
of his horticultural heart, and she came
promptly,to hie aid. • •
'Gardening, indeed! Do you call this
gardening.' she said. - 'Uncle Black, I
am astonished that you keep such a man

And !the torrent of taunts and re
proaches which she showered upon the
luckless head of poor 'old John was
enough, as that individual observed,
'to make one's flesh creep.'

charm!
It has in• good truth. Uncle Black
was a changedman: And Josoelind had
relapsed into the original sunshine of
ber temper—and all the domestic wheels
of Black Grange seemed to revolve on
velvet'. ,
But Uncle Black took all the credit to
himself. He never knew that dosoelind
had taught him a lesson. '
'We get along . 'very nicely,' said he,
'nom, that my niece has subdued those
little tempers of hers.'
And doseelind was his heiress and
darling after:all—for he will always be

A Truing Situation.
'Bay, mister are we on this side of
the bridge or the other ?' asked a placid
old lady of a gentleman on a Court
street car yesterday morning. • .
'We are on this side,' responded the
gentleman gravely.
'Laws me 1 Then we arn't anywhere
near Greenwood Cemetery yet ?'
'Yes, madame, we are within slew
squares of it.'
'Bakes a-massy 1 I thought Green

bridge.!'
'No, madame; it is on this side.' •
'Well, that pesky conductor told me
it was the other aide, when we started.'
'lt was, madame, on the other aide
then, but we have crossed the' bridge.'
`Then we are on the other side 1'
'No, madame, we are on this side o
the bridge, We've passed it.' '
'And is Greenwood on the other
side ?' she asked, starting up - in some
alarm.
'No, it is on this side.'
'Don't try to fool me Kith your non
sense I' exclaimed the old lady indig-
nantly. 'Don't try to make me think
that Greenwood is oti this side of the
bridge when I know better, and don't
try to make me believe I'm on this side

The Pit Dog of the Politicians

the late John A. Smug, and a cherished
favorite of W. P. Small, died this morn

21 years. Pim the past year Dolly has

cared for by, her master, who had a
large feather pillow prepared, on - which
she'lay on the feet of his bed. Yester
