If I had clinging cut-In of biirnlsh'd hrownl
If I hail ilrrrHiiy eyes aglow wltli smiles.
And girlish IIiiiIm. and pretty girlish wiles
If I were fair, Love would not turn aside.
Life's pnth. so narrow, would bo broad and

If I were fair t
If I were fair,
Perhaps lllcr other maidens I might hold
A true heart's store of tried ami tested gold.
Love waits on beauty, though sweet lov

The niyath! witchery of her shy wjys.
If I were fnlr my ers would seem o fewi
Life would unfold sweet pictures to' tv view,
If I wi re fair!

To clasp tuy lin k would throw an ay ita

A MORNING GLORY.
Onco upon n lime, somewhere, in
Sntiiuliiiili 'a giti'tlen, there grew n
Morning (ilory vino. Nobody know
how It canto there, for no one I mil
planted it, but it win n pretty 1 it ( to
llilng, wlilt green Iicnrln for leaves
anil cituniiitf lltllo piilo-rcon curia
lioro ami thorn, upon ilt fiu.y atom.
Sho wuntoil to got oil' tho ground
where alio liml Icon nil of her short
life, to alio erupt slowly uloiiji to liml
somothlng to tnko liolit of tluit al e
might climb hlj-li up inlo tho bl ight
sunlight. Sim put out her temlor-tcn.
ilrilli nml full curofully along, for alio
wus bllitil, poor lit lie thing, ami could
not toe whore ilie una going.
At alio rciichoil out alio fo'.t souir
thliig hard. "Ah, perhaps this is
something high," 1 1totijr lit tho Morning
Ulory, to alio crawled up t lie slilo
qullo to tlie lop, but she win not high
at till not much higher tlmii tlio
ground for it wits only n mull stone;
Hint klio imil fouml; to alio sadly crept
back down tho other alilo, uuil alio lay
tboro qttito dltcourngoil.
Thero win nn old limit who mod to
(ako enro of Somebody's gulden, and
bo saw this plant growing thero and
groping about lor it support, to lie
fiistoncd o string from a peg stuck
into tho ground up to Somebody's
window bIII, anil thou bo quite forgot
all nbout it.
Tho next morning tho Morning
Glory folt moro cheerful, mid sho
tnrted upon her search agtiiu. Sho
had not fur to go this ti mo, becnttto
the kind old mini hitd fustoiiod tho peg
rery near to where sho lay; so the
reached about Willi caution to avoid
another stone, and took bold of I ho
iriug.
The poor, sightless llulo thing did
not know that tho old man bad put it
thero for her, but somehow sho felt
that it would lend her whero she
wished logo up toward iho beauti
ful bluo sky mid tho great golden
sun.
So sho cllinbod along (ho string
slowly at first, then faster cacti day ns
the began to know tho way, until,
liko Jack's Lean slatk, sho bud reachois
Ihu window sill.
Now, Somebody, tho portou who
owned tho garden was ill; so that ho
hud to slay always In Ids room with an
ugly black bandage over Ills eyes, and
the doctors feared that bo might ncvor
lee' again.
Ho was vory null ppy, and was
ofteu oh, so very! cross and the
ervants qulio feared him when he
spoke to iboia in a barsli and ait
tboritativo voico.
He bad no relatives, and ho lived
quite alone in bis great home, with
many pooplo to wait upon blin and
with ever so much money to buy
things to make him happy. But tho
thing that one buys do ot ulways
make one happy, aud be was terribly
wretched lu his big flue house.
One morning he groped bis way to
the open window aud put hi band out
upon the aide of the frame, and be
felt a little, abarp nail. Now, If he
bad been gentle the nail would not
have hurt him, for It was a harmless
little thing; but he mad a rough, Inv
patient movement, aud It caught hi
Infer tad bruited it a little.
Tble mad Somebody very angrr.
COstv-.
and bo said some very nnpieaann
things 'about the person who dared lo
put a nail outside bis window, ami be
felt about very cautiously this timn, to
II nil the nail uuee more, that he might
tear It out.
Ho be moved bis hand slowly along
ttpott the sill, mid the Morning (ilory
was rnachltig her lltllo band about
thero at tho anmo time, utid their two
hands met.
Uno did not look at nil like n lintnl,
hut it was ono Jmt tho sumo, and tho
lltllo green liu.nl grasped lho great
while ono and thoy seeni"il In know
and to uutlei stand cnrli other nt once,
for tho lltllo grrcn liaml aald to the
largo while one very tenderly, ''Oil!
an you uro blind, loo! 1 uttl so
sorry !"
'l ho great hand did net try to find
lho uuil after that ; it just tonchcil tho
Morning (ilory with n suit care nml
two g-eat drops fell upon her leaves
They fell strangely nml not at all liko
lho cool i.-i n diopa which tomoiimos
watered the Mnriiiiig(i!ory, nml some
thing told her that Iheso drops wcro
ten i s.
Now, after (hla, thosn Iwo Some
body and lho Morning ( ilory grew to
loVi) each other Very dearly, and each
day they would feel about fur ono
another, and tint ilaiuiy Morning
(lory would nesllo tiguliiRl Ills beuriletl
cheek, and Soim-boily would pot her
uuil stroko her leaves very gently.
And the cheerful hopefulness of the
little green plant helped Somebody lo
he a little bit Impel ill, too. You n o It
was luirih-r for him. for he had not
always been blind, while she had never
seen and was so used to it that now
she hardly miuiliid it at nil.
One morning tho Morning (ilory
brought her friend a aitrpii-e. She
I in I kept it a secret all tho while, mid
now sho proudly put it great beautiful
pink blossom Into bis liiitid. Ho could
not eeo that it was pink, but lie felt
that it was lovely, ami bo kissed lho
pretty flower nnd murmured, "Von
llillo beauty," and that mado tho
Morning (ilory very happy, for nil
mothers dearly love to have their
babies admired, you know.
And (ho next morning Somebody
hail a surpriao for the Morning (ilory.
That was a scrrol, too. No ono knew
it yet but the doctor, ami Somebody
drew tho littln Morning (ilory closo lo
his lips mid whispered it into her rur.
Then lho littlo groan hand twined
about the groat whilo one and this Is
what it said: -I urn so glad that you
are not going to bo blind any inorj."
Ami Somebody umlorstood It, mid (lie
Morning (ilory again folt two great,
warm drops, which sho knew to bo
tears; but they wuro n it hitlor, like
lho II rat onos; they wcro very aweot,
becnuto they wore tears of Joy.
After this somebody went away
mid wns gono a long time. Tho
weeks pasted and ho did not i ol urn,
mid lho little Morning (ilory was vory
sad ; she fell hurt that ho had loft hot
so suddenly, and wltli no word of
ndleu.
I! very thing- wai in a slnto of great
bustloaud preparation all over tho
place. Little. Morning (ilory could
bear llirui limtimering nnd running
about, and sho felt lluit soiueihlng
was going to happen. Ouco sho
caught tho word "bride," mid sonic
thing told her what it all meaiil, and
a littlo jouluii pain went through her
heart, for sho had ouco overboard lho
housemaid lolling tho cook lluit all.
nion were tlcklo, and that whon they
were awuy from ono they navur
thought of ono nt all, and wcro tnkon
up with whoever wcro nonrost llioin,
mid tho cook bad agreed fully with
all that tlie hoiuomuld had suhl, mid
lho nook know moil if anyone did,
shu suld.
So llttlo Morning (ilory bung her
loaves in sudness and qttito forget to
feel proud of her pretty pink babies
ft.r tboro wcro a grout inuny of them
now.
Once sho folt something tug nt I. or
roots and a rough band grasped her;
tho n n kind voice said: Don't touch
tUut; master loved the littlo vino uud
! must bo loft as it 1." Oh I how re
lieved little Morning (ilory felt ut
tho to words. Sho reached out ami
tried to touch lho spoakor, but lho
maid hurried away mid never saw lho
little groeu hands at all.
Soou tho iilghls began to bo ' chilly
and one by one her babies left bur aud
fluttered to tlie ground, and sho her.
solf grow pale and folt very weak and
ill, and the feared Hint sho was going
to die. How she wlsbod tint Sumo,
body would come buck ; she f oared he
would be too late.
One morulng sho hoard tlie window
open, and Somebody again stood
thero j there was some one wl ill him
now, a beautiful lady, and he held her
In his arm and called ber "Sweet,
heart." In hi new happiness he bad
quite forgotten hi little friend; and
Morning Glory' heart ached as h
roniembercd wnat the maid had toii
tho rook.
Jttat thou Somebody looked out and
saw poor littlo Morning (ilory wltli
hor leaves nil faded nnd brown, and
he reproached hluisolf becauso be bad
not thought of Iter bofore.
"Here, deniesl," be said to Hie lady,
"Hit Is lho little friend I (old you
of," nml be laid (bo withered littlo
stein In tho lady's delicate bund.
A glad thrill ran through the Morn
lug (ilory nnd alio dropped sixty tiny
seeds into tho soft open palm; then .ns
tho wind swept around lho corner a
sudden shudder aei.i-d her, and lltllo
Morning (ilory was dead.
"See, my pel," said Somebody,
pointing lo lho lit tic black so-iU,
"that means good I ink t it is her gift
to tho bride."
Ami tho beautiful lady smiled, nnd
be put the seeds in a littln box, say
ing, "Next year wo will have another
Morning (ilory vino thero just liko tho
old one."
No, safd Somebody, "never ono
quite liko that, for that ono was liko a
littlo friend; il really atenied lo under
stand mr. Hut, then, 1 don't need
any one lo understand :no now, for I
have yon," mid again tho lady wus
folded in a loving embrace nnd Some
body klaiud her softly. C'hlcugo

history of tho milo-cmuuclpatioii ilaya.
The story is llmt of the elopement of
two daughters of ( 'ol. I!. M. Johnson,

and planned mi o'opuinettl. They es
caped to Cincinnati, and from there
they iiiudo their wuy lo Columbus by
it rapid couch.
John Kerr, nu old roaldeiit, remem
bers tho details distinctly. I lo snys
that when lho party urrivod In Cincin
nati they stopped nt lho old National
llolol, standing whero the Neil IIouso
is now locutoil. After a short stop
horo the eloping party continued their
journey east. They hud not been gono
moro tlmii two hour, however, before
somo of Colonel Johnson's men came
riding fast from Cincinnati in pursuit
of tliein. Securing frcsli horses bore,
tho pursuers pressed on mid overtook
the eloping party near St. Clairsvllle,
whero tho Indium escaped, but tho
men succeeded in bringing the John

Ono of lho girls, I'urihonu Johnson,

northca-t of the town, and pliicod for
temporary safekeeping In the old (lay
street jail. Sho was finally takon back
to Kentucky, C.itio was never cnp.
