THE TREE OF LIFE* In his mother's sacred eyes, Lit from God's own altar place. Earth grows heaven, and gray time dies In this Infant's smiling face. From the shroud of withered years Love and hope come young again. And the heart awakened hears Songs that make the life of men. Children's lightsome laughter rings. Dull, waste pluccs hAr their tread. And the gleam of gracious wings Lights old chambers of the dead. All bright shapes of memory. All glad dreams of youth and love. Meet übout the Christmas tree, Underneath the Mystic Dove. Time and fate are babbling words, Vain vibrations of the tonguß, Since the song God's singing birds O'er the Babe of Bethlehem tung. Child of death that was to bo, Child of love and life with men, Round the holy Christmas tree Make us children, too, again. Eyes that are love's deathless shrino Where our holiest prayers arise, Blest and blessing, dear, divine Little children's happy eyes. In your light the dark years change. From your light all foul things flee. And all sweet hopes soar and range Round the Christ Child's Christmas tree. —New York Sun. PUNISHED. The lake of Kirknitz, or of Lamenta tion, is situated in Carniola, Austria. s There is not much beauty in its scenery, but it has the peculiarity of at one time being a sheet of water and at another a field. The limestone, of which the bed of this curious lake is formed, is perfo ated with fissures, some of them as deep as fifty feet, into which trunks of trees and fishermen's boats have at times been drawn. Many years ago a maiden who lived near Lake Kirknitz, poor as a church mouse, but proud as a cpieen, refused all lovers who sought her hand or com panionship. Lovers, poor, hut honorable, sought her far and near, but she dismissed them with a frown and a toss of the head, bid ding them seek wives elsewhere. She had one day met the lord of a neighboring castle while out hunting, and the young and handsome noble had accosted her while she stood on the bank of the lake, and in a few well chosen words had flattered her beauty and vanity. From that moment she had resolved to become the mistress of the castle and look down with disdain upon her former companions. She soon saw that the first impression she had made upon him was but an eva nescent one, and anger and jealousy now mingled with the love with which his handsome form and gentle speech had imbued her. One day she met him and his servants upon the spot of their first meeting. Hilda, fur such was the name of the girl, fiuug herself in his path, and with a smile on her face and a longing look in her eyes bade liini good morrow. The young lord, who was neither so sober nor in so good a temper as when he had before accosted her, ordered lier out of his path. His words ami tones were enough to crush the hopes of the aspiring peasant girl, but the loud laughter and insulting jeers of the companions and attendants of the young lord infuriated her, and shaking her clinched hand at the noble Bhe cried: "My time will come!" The others laughed in mingled amuse ment and derision. "How say you, Carl?" asked one. "Is the peasant wench mad or have yon given her cause to fancy that one day Bhe might bo the recipient of your favors?" "I was foolish enough onco to notice her, 1 believe, but what is she to me Inore than the rest of the horde who till the fields? 13y my soul. Herbert, it were folly for a noble to look kindly on these low bred hinds, for if you do so they take it for granted that you intend some favor to them, and persistently dog your f footsteps." "Then you liavo met before?" "Many times, but I never spoke to the girl but once. It was a foolish thing to do, but 1 confess that I was so struck witlw her beauty I could not resist the temptation to address a few words to her." "And on this concession she has pre sume*:?" "Yes. Go forth when I will sue throws herself in my path." "She should prove an easy conquest, then," laughed Heifiert. "I never thought of that," said Carl, stroking his mustache. "She flings herself at your feet." "Granted; but" "But what, Carl?" "Such conduct only excites my pity, if not my disgust." His friend laughed. "Herbert," said Carl, "you are" "Your friend," interrupted the other. "Say rather my tempter. You put thoughts into my head that never before entered there." His friend laughed again. "Well, well, if you love the girl" * "Nonsense, Herbert; you know that I am* afiianced to the Lady Gertrude. How then can I love a lowly born maid en?" Herbert shrugged bis shoulders. "Lt tus 011," said Curl shortly. "The midday meal awaits, and we shall be late if we hurry not hack to the castle." They hastened on, and as they did so a • figure rose on the edge of the lake and gazed after them. It was a strange being, half fisherman, half hunter in attire. He was tall of stature and strqpg of limb. "Virtue, villainy and ambition have stood t<> lay on the borders of my realm," he said, "and lrom my cave in the lake's bed I have seen and heard all. "Ho, ho! there are fresh victims for the Cave King to lure to his caverns un der the rolling flood, but one must escape me, for I h ve no power over firmness and honor." And diving into the lake he disaj)- peared. jl • * • * • Night had come. Carl had sunk to sleep on a couch in the hall of his castle and his friend Herbert, heated with wine and troubled with thoughts of the lovely peasant girl, had strolled on to the ramparts, where tho moonlight showed the lake beneath him like a silver mirror. Suddenly a figure stood before him, and the young man, with his hand upon his sword, started hack. "Who are you?" he said. "One who would serve you." "How?" "You are charmed with the beauty of Hilda, the peasant girl, who vainly loves your friend Carl." "How know you that?" "I have the power to read men's thoughts and see the workings of a wom an's heart." "You? Who are you then?" * "The Cave King of the Lake or Kirk nitz." "What would you with me?" asked the youth tremulously. "I come to serve you. A vain, ambi tious girl will await ono whom she hopes to meet on the bank of the lake, but who cares not for her. "What pity for such as she! She seeks her doom. Steal from the castle when the hell booms forth the midnight hour and meet her on the spot where today your friend treated lier with such con tempt." "But of what avail would be that?" "Assume the form of your friend and win the love she is so anxious to bestow on one so far above her." "How can I do that?" "By my aid." "And what do you ask in return?" "Simply that, having impressed tilt girl with the belief that you are him she so madly loves, you will embark witl: her on the lake on a boat you will find moored to the shore." "It is hut a simple request, I admit." ' "Then take the form of your friend which I have the power to bestow upon j you." The Cave King touched the shoulder of the young man, and in an instant he was changed not only in features, but in dress as well. He gazed at himstdf in wonder and then looked up as if about to speak to tho strange visitor. But the latter was gone, and Herbert stood alone upon the ramparts. "Am I dreaming?" he asked himself, j A retainer approached and said re spectfully: "My lord, a messenger has just ar rived at the castle gate, and he bade me give this missive into your hands unseen by any one." The young man opened the letter and by the light of the moon read: "MY LORD—I know that I aspire far beyond my station in presuming to love i one so high and noble as yourself, hut I feel that I cannot live without you. You j can save me from ending my life if you will meet me and speak one word of hope and love to me on the banks of the ! lake tonight at the spot where we met this morning." "Very good," said Herbert. "I will wander forth for a short time; I can re enter the castle by the postern." The man bowed and retired. "Now for this peasant beauty," mut tered tho libertine. "Pride must have its fall, and if her fall is a deep one she will have no one hut herself to blame for it." He left tho castle by the postern and made his way to the spot where he had seen Hilda in the morning. Tho girl stood on the edge of tho lake gazing down on the moonlit waters when his footfall struck upon her ears. She turned and saw him as the boom of the convent hell struck the midnight air. "Hilda!" he cried, and went toward her with outstretched arm's. "Carl —my lord!" she exclaimed. "Thank heaven that you have come! If my love for you is unmaidenly remem ber that the workings of my heart are guided by a higher power than mine. From the first moment I gazed upon you I felt that I could love none other and that I must win your love or die." She threw herself oil the bosom of the man she believed to be the one who had enshrined his image in her heart. "Let us sail out upon the lake," said the supposed Carl. "There in the moon light, and with none to hear us but the waters that dance so merrily in tho sil ver beams we will talk of that love you have for me and that which I have so long felt for you. but never yet acknowl edged." "You do love me, then, dear Carl?" "Can you doubt it?" "I did; but with your arms around mo and your eyes shitiiug into mine 1 can doubt no longer." He unmoored the boat, and seating her in it followed and pushed ont from tho shore. In an instant, without the aid of .an oar or sail, the boat dashed madly across the waters, then turned around and around with l'earfnl rapidity. "What is this?" ho gasped. The girl turned her despairing eyes over the lake. "Mercy!" she cried: "the waters are sinking—the shores are rising around us like mountains. We aro in a whirlpool! Wo are lost—we are lost!" As she spoke the boat rose on its end, was spun around and around like a top for a moment, and then disappeared in the whirlpool in which it had been caught. When the waters of the lake had run out, and the peasants came to plant tlieir wheat upon its bed, they discovered a boat wedged in one of tho funnellike holes with which it is perforated, and in it the two dead bodies, and there arose I many stories as to how they came there, i —Chicago Post.

WHO SHALL HOLD THE PURSE? 4r Not Women More to Blame Than Men In the Blatter of Money? "Talk about Gorman women being oppressed and downtrodden!" said a spirited daughter of that nation, "we may black our husbands' shoes now and then if there is 110 servant to do it, hut in ono thing, if I have been informed rightly, we have greatly the advantage of American w< ?nen. It is taken for granted with us that the wife must liavo the spending of the main part of the in come for all the family needs. That is her part of the work. "This view has been always lioldsofar as I know, and I assure you that tyran nical husbands find some other way of making their power felt than by holding back the money for daily necessaries. "Why, the bills must bo met; the family must live in the style decided on as proportioned to tho income. Why haggle about it? "But I am told that in America wives rarely hold tho family purse, and unlc.33 a woman has money in her own right she must ask, often beg, for every penny she has. Why, a German woman would feel degraded with that sort of treat ment. Besides, how can she wisely plan unless she can know how much money she has to use during the month or the quarter. What ono can afford is all a matter of comparison and proportion. It is the most common tiling in our lower and middle classes for tho wife to draw tho pay, keep tho bankbook and order tho expenditure of every penny of tho income, even to buying tho hus band's clothes." The reason why the married woman in our country does not have as a matter' of course more power over the iucomo seems to be partly her own fault. Does she start, out right in tho very first year? Is she imbued with tho idea that she and her husband are founding a family whoso prosperity and whose standing in the community is their common inter est? Does she feel that in this matter there is no ineum and teum; that all plans and sacrifices must be made to gether? There are plenty of cases where a selfish or thoughtless young man has been brought to this view of things by a clever wife, and thenceforth they were equal partners with equal rights. But let a woman onco begin that childish teasing for a new gown or new furniture, and suspicions are aroußed in the mind of the money earner that it will bo hard to allay. If he is a man of any charac ter he will feel that he must protect his family as to the essentials—a safe sur plus in the bank account and a growing fund for old age or emergencies. He begins to prefer paying bills whose items ho can scan to giving ready money into the hands of his wife. She will make mistakes now and then, but if in stead of owning tliem up and taking counsel as to better ways she decoives and conceals she is sealing her fate. He fools if 110 does not know this conceal ment, and now and then he will know it, and the painful result is well enough known to us. It would be interesting to hear from every woman who finds her self in middle life lacking the confidence of her husband in money matters whether tho fault is entirely his or if she does not in looking back find grave mis takes on her own side.—Mary H. Abel in St. Louis Republic. After Sixteen Yearn of Service. Mrs. Virginia T. Smith, who lias been city missionary at Hartford since 1876, has resigned her position because of a determination of the socioty by which she was employed to restrict the work to local charities. As city missionary and as member of tho statu board of chari ties Mrs. Smith has been instrumental in carrying on various agencies for the relief of the poor and the prevention of pauperism. The rescue of children from degration Mrs. Smith regards as tho most important phase of philanthropic work, and it was largely through her suggestion and effort that tho free kin dergarten hecamo a part of tho public school system of Connecticut, and that tho law was enacted which provides a temporary home for destitute and abused children in every county of tho state.— Woman's Journal.

I Sorrows have accumulated upon tliis administration to an extent greater per il;;]. s than any other in the history of tho country. Tho I'ttle son of 1 resident Pierce was killed in a railway accident | on the trip fro.'i New 1 mipshire to the j inauguration. Mr. Lincoln lost a son ' while ho was president, and was assass inated at the beginning of his second j term, and the same fato befell President Garfield. A number of distinguished people, including ono or more cabinet officers, were killed by an explosion of a cannon on board a ship on the Potomac ; during Mr. Tyler's admin; . ration. No administration, however, has had so many sad surroundings ;:s the present one. It will be recalled that tlie house of Secretary Tracy was destroyed by fire : and his wife aiul daughter were burned to death in the ruins. After a long ill ness the wife of Mr. Hulford, tho presi dent's private secretary, died. While Mr. Blaine was secretary of state, his favorite son, Walker, was stricken down ! and never recovered, and soon after his ; retirement from the cabinet, within a | [ week or two another son, Emmons | [ Blaine, died almost without a moment's I j warning.

These propose to let their houses in Chi cago for the summer months, and take lodgings in this city or occupy cottages at the seaside. When these opportuni ties have been made known such of the New York people as expect to visit the fair have availed themselves of the chance of escaping the crowds at the ho tels and the chances of boarding houses, and engaged these vacated houses. A group of people divide tho time among them, succeeding one another in such in stallments as they may arrange, and with their own servants live as comfort ably as if at home. Many New Yorkers would gladly avail themselves of such opportunities if they could bo made known. If some convenient exchange of properties could be established it would bo mutually beneficial. New York Evening Sun. Pronunciation or Two Names. It may seem like trying to gild refined gold or paint the lily to suggest the pos sibility of an improvement in the pro nunciation of proper names adopted by Mr. Daly's company of players, but I have always imagined that the heroine in "As You Like It" was Ros-alind, with the accent on the first syllable, and that Shakespeare made a humorous point in tlie stretching of the pronunciation in Orlando's love verses. This point is en tirely lost by pronouncing the name Ro salind, with long"i," and equal stress on first and last syllables, all through the play. The first intimation that the mel ancholy Jaequo was a ruralized proto type of the Chatham street chaincter also conies from Mr. Daly. George Clark is addressed in his "As You Like It" role as Jaides. Is there any author ity for either of these novelties?— Cor. New York Advertiser. A Great llald Eagle Killed.

It was perched upon a lofty elm, when Mr. Yates discharged both barrels of liis shotgun at it simul taneously, after which the bird flew a few hundred feet and suddenly fell to the ground dead.

The infant daughter of the emperor and empress was arrayed with surpass ing magnificence on the occasion of her christening. She wore a mantle of the richest pure velvet, profusely trimmed with ermine, under which was a chris tening robe of white satin and lace, em broidered with gold crowns. During the service the princess was placed upon a silver cushion with deep silver fringe. The vessels were a superbly chased basin and a jug of solid gold, which were man ufactured on the occasion of the chris tening of the Emperor Frederick. The ceremony took place in the Jasper gal lery of the palace, a splendid saloon, with walls of marble and jasper and nu merous mirrors inclosed in gold frames. The temporary altar was covered with gold, and the various ornaments were all of pure gold. A picture by Raphael, which usually bangs In the gallery at Sail Souci, had been brought to hang over the altar. The empress was dressed in white satin, with hugo sleeves, and a lace cap, but no jewels whatever.—Ber lin Letter. A Wee Philadelphia Girl. There lives in Philadelphia a tiny little girl named Katie Campbell Bryan. She was a year old last week, and, though perfectly well, and as pretty as the pret tiest French doll you ever saw, she weighs a little less than eleven pounds. When ten days old she weighed only a pound and three-quarters, and the clothes which were selected for her to wear woto some that belonged to her sister's tiny wax doll. Even now slio is not as big as a good sized French doll, and, though she can speak and say distinctly two or three words, and walk so fast that you would have trouble to catch her if she should run away, she could easily be carried on one of your humls. Her feet are only two inches long—no longer than your longest finger—and her hands are very, very tiny.

One day a dog caught tho doll from the basket and ran into the gurdeu with it. Puss came in and missed her baby the first thing. Hhe hunted around, and at last she saw the dog shaking the doll in tho garden. Oh, what a fight they had; hut pussy rescued her doll baby and brought it into the kitchen, and mamma made a new dress fur it while puss washed it clean. Then puss was determined to have it in the bedroom, so that the dog could not get it again, and mamma had to move her basket, for her beforo she was easy about it.—Youth's Companion. Rather It.
