    It Will All ne Right in the Morning.
When the hounding boat of the heart of love
And the springing step grows slow t
When the form of ft cloud In the blue above
Lift dark on the path below,
The song that he sings Is lout In ft sigh,
And he turns where a star Is dawning,
And he thinks, ns It gladdens his henrt and
his eye :
"It will all Im right in tho morning."
When "the strong mnn armed," in the middle
watch,
From life's dim deek Is gnzing,
And strives, through the wreck of the tcm
lest, to cftteh
A gleam of the dayheam'a blazing.
Amid the wild storms, there hard by the
helm,
He heeds not the dnrk ocenn yawning i
Tor this song In his soul not a sorrow can
whelm :
"It will all be right In tho morning."
When the battle Is done, the hrp unstrung,
Its music trembling dying:
vVhcn his woes are unwept and his deeds
unsung,
And he longs In the grave to bo lying,
Then a Voice shall charm, as it charmed be
foro He had wept or wnited the dawning!
"They do love there for aye, I'll bo thine as
of yore.
It will be all right In the morning."
Thus nil through tho world, by ship and by
shore.
Where tho mother liends over
Tho cradle, whose fnruit "has gono on be
fore i"
When- the eyes of the lover
liook aloft for the loved, whatever the word,
A welcome, a wall or a warning.
This Is everywhere cherished this every
where heard :
"It will be all right in the morning.

THE ALL-FLOWER,
I wieh I was tloatl;
I am 28 years old. 1 never really
noticed it till now. I can't find a
wrinkle or a crow's-foot on my face, if
I look ever so h-ird ; I could dance all
night without stopping but no mat
ter 1 I have had my day and the sooner
I realize tho fact the better.
I suppose I oughtn't to complain;
I've had a good time on the whole. I
came out and was made a fuss about,
ami lota of people fell in lovo with m e
and that'll ahvaya supposed to be
jileBHant. Not for them, poor things!
but, then, no woman ever thinks of
that.
I've danced, and flirted, and gos
siped, and amnsed myself generally,
and made a business of pleasure. If
theMauciug shoes I've worn out were
collected what a heap there would bo !
And all tho frocks I'vo worn, and torn
nnd put my foot through and tho
boncjnets I've ruined nnd the compli
ments I've had and the oilers I'vo re
fused! Oh, yes, I was a success not
a doubt of it !
And now, what's tho good of it all?
I've made n certain number of people
quite miserable ; but I've never beeu
in love myself not really except
perhaps
I wag very heartless. I've been told
times out of number that I had "no
heart." Men always say that when a
girl refuses them, to save their own
vanity ; but in my case I dare say it
was true.
Well, nobody cares now if I have a
heart or not. It's all different. I have
got a certain number 'if friends, whose
step suits mine, who ask me for dances,
but without enthusiasm, and talk to
me of this or that "dear little thing
over there, who is enjoying horself so 1"
They say I'm a "good . sort" and a
"real" friend! A friend! What has
friendship to do in a ball-room?
1 I can see the ball-room reflected in
tho mirror hero. How nice and eool
the glass is to my hot chock ! What a
fool I must look only there is no
body can see mo and if they did
they wouldn't caro. Nobody misses
me. There's Laura Gray? She tries i
to bo tho good Samaritan of the ball
room. Don't lot me catch her eye, or
she will come and throw me a cast-off
partner of her own, She's a kind
girl, Laura, but I don't want charity
dances. I should say I was engaged.
I will not dance with veterans or boys.
I had rather sit out.
How decidedly melancholy dunce
music is ! I never uotioed it so much
before. I oould lie down on the floor
this very minute and howl, if I were
to let myself go.
Suppose I were to cross the room
and talk to Mrs, Fleming? Anything
to seem ocoupied ! No, I see she is
asleep, and if she were not, she would
only tell me of Violet's perfections,
I see them everybody sees them Oh,
dear !
There is Violet with John Forrest.
He is looking at her exactly as he used
to look ut me eight years ago. Why
did we quarrel? My fault, I begin to
think. I suppose it was, but I know I
felt very much in the right at the time.
I am not sure now if And he has
'not said more than three words to me
since I Its rather awkward! We
have to go on meeting, as we move in
jthe same sets, and both he and I hate
, fuss. Ob the world, , ths world 1
Anything not to have people talk.
But he has never forgiven me. If he
were to ask me ,for a dance, now, I
should think thcVnd of the world had
come! I needn't be afraid, .though, I
was much too horrid. s
Sometimes, lntely I have thought
that ho would be glad to oh, its
just my fancy I And I don't want him
to either !
I wonder if ho really cares for
Violet Fleming? She's ' delightfully
young and naive and enthusiastic.
I know ho thinks so but she has
tho reddest arms I ever saw !
Oh, don't let mo be spiteful !
I know that cadence. The vnlse Is
nearly over. They will all come by.
That's tho most awful moment of all t
I wish I was talking to Mrs. Fleming.
It is so hateful to have to try and look
unconcerned, and as if I were sitting
here because I preferred it.
Oh, I can't bear it. I'll marry. I'll
marry Mr. Brown. He adores me
he is only waiting, as Herbert's poem
says :
"Thnt weariness may toss me to his breast.
1 shall condescend to let him see
that I don't absolutely dislike him. 1
shall marry hi in and live in the conn
try ! It's the only way out of it for
me !
Yes, for me, but for him!' I don't
lovo him. How could I? I should
have to tell him, and even a Mr.
Brown is not so abject as to marry i
woman who tells him point-blank that
sho can only promise to tolerate him !
And if I don't tell him, it would bo
mean.
Here thev all come 1 I must try and
look unconcerned! I know every
stick of my fan by heart, but I will
pretend it interests me deeply. I enn
see over the top of it.
Here's the first couple ! Billy Dan
vers nnd Miss Forrest ! 1 was his first
love, and he's trying hard to make
Grace Forrest think she is. Let him !
Mrs. Jcnkvn and onr host ! She's
a widow. I wish somo ono would
make me a widow. W hat am 1 say
ing? But she's ten years older than I
am, and she laughs like a child. Thut's
the good of being a widow.
Here's Mr. HiiHtings. He really
was iu love with mo once, so now he
detests me. "A man scorned" is
much worso than a woman scorned.
Ho wou't even look at me. Xo

"Aren't Yon Going to Pop!"
A young lady was desirous of buy
ing a parrot, so she went to a bird
fancier's, and, after examining a good
many birds, asked the price of one
that took her fancy. "I suppose you
would like a bird thnt talks, miss?"
asked tho fancier. "Well, yes, I
should," replied tho young lady.
"Then, miss, I cannot honestly recom
mend tho bird that you have picked
out, as it only seems to know one sen
tence, which, by the way, it is con
stantly repeating." "What does it
say?" inquired tho young lady.
"Well, I will begin at the beginning,
miss. You must know that that parrot

so poor that the mother was constantly
running to the pawnbroker's. When
the cupboard was empty and the chil
dren were hungry they always used to
ask their mother : 'Aren't you going
to pop?' Through hearing the phrase
so repeatedly the parrot picked it up,
aud that, apparently, is all it has
picked np. Now, that is'nt a nice
phrase, is it, miss?" asked the fancier.
The young lady reflected a moment,
blushed slightly, and then said archly :
' 'But there is more than one meaning
to the word 'pop,' isn't there?" "Cer
tuiuly, miss," replied the fancier, with
a quiet smile. "Well, I think I'll
have the bird, please ; I rather like its
appearance," decided the young lady.
The next afternoon, when George
that wsa his name called on the
young lady, and they were alone iu
the snug little parlor, the parrot eyed
him gravely aud asked : "Aren't you
going to pop?" George gave a slight
start, and glanced at Miss Ethel, who
was busy looking out of the window
and then remarked that it looked like
rain. Miss Ethel made no reply, but
that parrot repeated the query, look
ing straight at George, who was seized
with a violent fit of coughing. Then
there was a dead silence until the par
rot, clinging to the brass of its cage,
head downwards, again asked the ino
meutous question, with almost I
shriek, George could stand it uo
louger Miss Ethel was blushing most
becomingly and her eyes were down
cftBtflie : lovo that had been bottled
np in his broad bosom for three years,
and perhaps but for that parrot would
never have been uncorked, was now
poured forth ; and half an hour after,
wards, when he left the house an ac
cepted lover, he was not quite certain
whether ho would like to ring that
parrot's neck or buy it on annuity
for life. Marriage will settle the
question. What puzzles George is
how the1 parrot got hold of such a
phrase. Ferhaps Miss Ethel will en
lighten him some day. Cardiff Mail-
Where There Is No Aftrrnoon.
Strangers to Washington often re
mark the custom of addressing one at
all times of the doy by the uniform
saluation, "good morning." It
sounds odd to a westerner to hear one
address him with "good morning" at
5 o'clock in tho afternoon. This cus
tom is as old ns the congress of the
United States and the hours of execu
tive departments. It is said to be di
rectly due to tho morning hour in
congress. Tho standing rnlea of the
two houses of congress provide for a
"morning hour," which extends from
12 to 2 o'clock, and thnt provision has
mndo it common to refer to morning
business " in congress, which occurs
before the "regular order." Fre
quently tho regular order is not
resumed, aud the morning hour is ex
tended until four or 5 o'clock, espe
cially in the latter daysof congressand
whon there is a great jam of business.
In tho executive department referenco
ismado to the "morning's work" dur
ing the entire day.
This is all, of course,ofltcial parlance.
The custom has grow n so that it ex
tends throughout social life aud in nil
sorts of private business, until it is
riming until all government business
is at an end iu Washington. When
tho sun goes down and twilight sets in,
it is "good evening." It is never af

THE TRADE OF A YEAR.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THB CHIEF
Of the Bureau of Statistics. Imports

The annual report of Ih Chief of the
Bureau of Rtatiitlcs, Worthlngton G Ford,
which has J mt been Issued, comprises 15?
printed qnarto pages of statist jet ot ,the
foreign commerce of the United States for
Iheyear ended June 30, 1893, and discusses
t considerablelength the cauiet ot the gold
movement. The report tayi:
The noticeable features of these figures
are: The values of imports or merchandise
attained the highest msrk In the commer
cial history of the eountrv; the exports of
gold reached a higher figure than ever before
attained in a single year since toe ijynas-

paper. An outward movement of gold of
nearly the same amount, occurring In a
time of peace and apparently In defiance of
commercial laws, will make the year 1893
noiaoie lor mis tingle item in us nuanciai
and commercial experience. It is true the
country in 1803 wst better sble to lose (87,
600,000 in gold then than it was in 1884. An
import nnd export trade of (1,714,086,000
is good evidence of nn economic stsndlng
snd capacity, immeasurably superior to the
situation that prevailed In 1804, when the
trade of the country was only one fourth as
great as in 18H3. vit: H75.2HJ.OOO,
"A-nuraber of circumstances combine to
make the trade of the year of 1893 an inter
esting study In the general laws governing
internal commerce, i nt previous two years
were noteworthy tbroueh the enormous
grain and cotton crops gathered In 1891 hi
the United States and a partial failure of the
grain crops In European countries, thus
giving this country a natural command
over Kuropenn markets. Kxnorts were
largely increased with the result that the
export trade figures for 1892 were larger
than have ever before been attained In the
commercial experience ot the country.
I ne influence ot such an exceptional year
wst not confined to the twelve months of
thnt year, and made itself felt In the suc
ceeding year, but with constantly decreas
ing effect."
The report then discusses the causes
of the outward movement of gold, and
avs:
"With the exception of two months nam
ed It is an unbroken record from January
1, 18112, until July, 1893, when there was a
turn in the other direction. The tales or
purchases of American securities by for
eigners, the investment or withdrawal of
foreign capital from undertaking! in the
United Stales, the money transferred In
payment of interests and dividends and re
mittances to Americans abroad no one of
these factors it a subject of official record.
That foreign capital It required for the de
velopment of our resources It shown by the
heavy investments known to have been
irmde in almost every kind of security and
adventure, snd these investment! were in
creasing yearly.
"The decrease shown In 1892 Is an expres
sion of what has been the general belief of
those in a position to be well informed and
was continued, even aggravated, in 1893.
This points to the withdrawal of large turns
of foreign capital invested Iu this country
and have sought to obtain from leading
bankers, who buy and tell American
securities on foreign account, some figures
which may Illustrate, even if they may not
measure this movement. Ily their courtesy
1 am ableto make the following estimate,
intended to show the direction of the sales
and purchases since January, 1893:
"It it estimattd that between (75,000,000
and (100,000.000 In thnres of different de
scriptions have been toldon foreign account
In the United Slates from January 1 to tire
beginning of August. To this turn must be
added from (15,000,000 to (25.000,000 in
various klndt of bonds, chiefly currency
bonds, that have been told on Europe an
orders, coming from Kngland, Germany,
Holland and Belgium. I think It is a safe
estimate to place the extent of ths entire
inward movement from June, 1892,
o june intu at upward or zuu.ooo.ooo, as
there is every evidence thst the movement
was continuous for ths twelve m ontts of
ine ntcai year.
"Against thli return of American secur
ities mutt be set the amounts purchased on
foreign account, whether for speculation
or actual Investments. I should
place the purchases fur the entire
year at between 00,000,000 and (100,000,000
a ins purcnaaes must nave oeen larger In
the lsataix montnt of 1892 than In the first
six months of 1893. Thus ths balance of
tun movement was upwards or a hundred
