THE SINGER.
In the church I stood in silence,
Not a footfall, not a sound
Broke the hushed and dreamy quiet
Of my revery profound
I was thinking of the morrow
When, before the altar grand
In the service of the Master,
All repentant, I would stand.
And I wondered if the people
Gathered there Ilis name to praise
Would not bo, through my endeavor,
Led to purer, better ways.
For I felt within my bosom
All the truo heart of the song,
And I thought some tiny portion
Ought to touch that worldly throng.
Bo I turned unto the organ,
And began to play the air
Of the tender, sacred opera,
"Angels. Ever Bright and Falr. H
Ah, 1 never sang so sweetly,
All my soul seemed upward turned,
All my holiest endeavor
Through those earnest carols burned.
Then the heavenly spell was broken.
For, beside tho great staircase
Stood a little ragged maiden
Gazing wondering in my face.
She was shabby, poor and crippled.
Not a bright and winsome child;
She had spoiled my Inspiration,
And I spoke In anger wild:
'•Child," 1 cried, "what Is your business?"
And 1 paused, with mien sublime.
"Why stand there li) stupid silence?
Come, make haste! I'm wasting time."
But she did not move or answer.
Only gazed with open eyes
Full of disappointed wonder,
And a pained and grieved surprise.
"You were singing "bout the angels; *•
Here her voice was low and sad.
While with cold her slight form trcmblod—
She, poor child, was but half-clad.
"You were singing 'bout the angels,
So I came to look at you,
And I kind o' thought you was onei
Now I know it wasn't true."
Years have passed slnco that brief moment,
Hut sometimes I seem to hear
Through my busy life of duty,
A child's uccents, soft and eloar.
And I always pauso and hearken.
As with silent Hps, alone
1 send not a song of triumph,
But a prayer to Heaven's throne.

J Pennsylvania
twenty-tliree years of age. He was
a farmer, of lurge frame, florid
complexion, tawny hair, and walked
with a swag. He was a plain
homely fellow. There was a pe
culiar brogue in his speech. His
parents, when making periodical visits
to the county seat, talked a poor Eng
lish. At home, they spoke that unique
of tongues, Pennsylvania Dutch—a
pood deal of Dutch, a little German,
and, where an English word suited
best, it hud full sway in the polyglot.
For years, Ad had been doing- tho
greater part of the work on the home
farm, but was about making up his
mind that it was time now for him to
go to farming 1 for himself. To do that,
he must have a wife. There was one
girl he wunted, but as yet he had not
found tho courage to ask her. Ho was
afraid she might say she preferred Jake
Pottorff to him. Elizabeth Pfntz was
a largo rosy-cheeked girl, known to
everyone us "Liz." Ad and Jake were
rivals in their attentions to her, be
sides being a favorite with many other
sons of farmers in the neighborhood.
Ad was in good humor, one October
day. There was to ho a singing down
at the schoolhou He had been over
to see Liz about it that afternoon. He
had come upon her down in the
orchard. After grinning at her for a
few moments, in a hesitating way he
had said:
"Liz, are you going to the singing
next week?"
"I don't know; maybe."
"Anyone going with you?"
"Th'at's none of your put. Can take
myself, if I want to go."
"I just thought, if you hadn't com
pany, you wouldn't mind going with
me."
"Perhaps I mightn't."
"Can I come and take you, then?"
"If you want to, you can."
"Well, I want to; but do you want
to go with me?"
"Yes, if you want to take me."
So it was settled. On the evening in
question, Ad rode to the home of Liz,
prepared to take her to singing. lie
was astride a young work-horse of his
father's. The horse was big of bone
and broad of back. There was a saddle
on the horse; behind it, a blanket was
strapped on the unimal.
He tied his horse along the front
fence, entered the yard, passed around
the house, and knocked at the kitchen
door. It was opened by tho girL Ad
had backed off from the door and stood
there awkwardly as lie said:
"Most ready, Liz?"
"Pretty near, Ad. Come in."
"I'll just stay right out here."
"All right I'll be 'long in a min
ute," she answered, closing the door.
In a moment, she made her appear
ance, ready for the journey. As they
straggled toward the horse, Ad said:
"Get up, here, Liz. on that rail."
"Is your horse quiet?" she asked.
"Yes," he drawled.
"Sure he won't scare or jump?"
After further assurance from Ad, the
girl climbed up on the top rail of a fence.
Taking a hand of the girl, she was
soon seated behind him on the blanket,
with both feet dangling on one side of
the horse, and with no way to balanco
herself except by a grip on Ad in front.
Away tliey went, jogging along, now
on a little pace, again Ad would coax
the horse, into a trots and as Liz and
he bounced up and down, arms flying,
peals of laughter rang out on the even
ing air, with cries of Lix;
"Oh, don't, Atl! I'll fall olT! I'm
falling—indeed, I am!"
Then Ad would bring the horse to a
walk, -declaring ho could not help it,
that the horse started off so.
Once, on a pleasant piece of road, Ad
j tiled the horse into a lope, notwith
standing Liz's pleadings and assertions
chat she would never go with him
| ugiin. He replied:
•oh. this is line, Liz. Hold on
; tight."
I'ho tighter she held him by his coat,
the better pleased he was. It was
i while thus cantering along, Jake Pot
tor If made his appearance from a cross
road. At sight of Liz holding on to
Ad, he was enraged, and, digging his
, feet in his horse's sides, he passed the
I riders on a run without the slightest
I recognition.
j Arriving at the schoolhouse, Liz slid
off the horse. Ad tied his horse and
joined the boys on the outside of the
building, many of whom had brought
their girls on horseback behind them.
| Meanwhile, Liz had gone inside, where
1 the girls were. The singing had be-
I gun before those outside ventured iu.
I The singing was half over when Ad
| noticed Jake slip out of the room. Jake
; had come alono and taken a back seat,
i Uo was in a sullen, disagreeable-mood.
He had made up his mind that Liz
would not hold on to Ad going home.
Ho would spoil Ad's fun.
It was dark when the meeting was
over, with the exception of the dim light
of a small crescent. The boys rushed out
of the schoolhouse and wa tod around
its door for the appearance of the girls.
As euch made her appearance, the boy
that had brought that girl made a rush
for her, and, catching her by arm or
| hand, led her off.
Ad succeeded in catching Liz, and
hurried yhcr off toward his horse.
The animal was restless, and pawed
the ground and stamped around as far
ns the hitching-strap would let him.
Ad, untying the horse, led it out, tell
ing Liz to get up on a rail of a dimly
seon fence he pointed to. She obeyed
him.
Ad first tried to ride up to the fence.
As often as he did so and Liz made any
attempt to mount, the horse shied off
or jumped away, Becoming exnsper
j ntod. Ad dismounted and tried to push
the horse up to the fence. Again and
again ho failed to get the horse near
enough for the girl to mount. At last
Liz aid: "It's uo use, Ad; we'll have
to walk."
There was no other alternative. It
was three miles to her home. So Ad
led the horse, throwing the bridle rein
over one arm. With the other hand,
he took a hand of the girl, and they
started < >ff.
"I tell you what, Liz, the night is
boss. I believe I would like to walk
the rest of my life on a night like this.'*
"Oh, you would get tired."
"No, I wouldn't; not with you."
After another silence', Ad said:
"Liz, I heard tell that old Bosser
man's farm was for rent. What would
you think if I took a notion to rent it?"
"Land's sake, Ad!"
Another pause. Again:
"Liz, how would you like to live OD
old Bossermnn's place?*'
"Land's sake alive!"
There was a smothered sound of
laughing.
"What do you think?*' Ad insisted.
"Oh, you are joking, Ad," she replied.
"No, I'm not, Liz. I'm in dead earn
est. If you will say the word, I'll rent

the farm to-morrow, and we'll begin as
soon us we could got things fixed. We'd
be married, you know. Are you agreed,
Liz?"
Ad gave the hand a tighter squeeze.
At the same time, he somehow jerked
the bridle on his other arm. The horse
reared up, and Ad lost the answer ol
the girl. Itftiust have been satisfactory,
as in the shadow of a willow tree en
tered soon afterward there were sus
picious sounds, and at the home of Liz,
as she stood at tho gate, Ad, lingering,
said:
"The walking couldn't have been bet
ter to-night, could it, Liz?"
And the girl laughed.
As Ad unsaddled his horse, he found
under the blanket, on the back of the
horse, a quantity of prickly burrs—the
cause of the unrest of the animal—and
he continued:
"Well, I'll be switched! if it hadn't
been for Jake, I wouldn't have known
how good the walking was to-night."—

"Oh, yes, papa," said tho older girl,
"there was one case of it"
"What was it?"
"Why, the lion-tamer put his head

"Well, what was cruel about that?"
"Why, you could see just as plainly
as could be that the horrid man had hair

FATHER KINGFISHER.
How Ho nilllcls III* Not and Provide* f ?r
Hi* Family.
"ft is getting towards spring," says
rather Kingfisher. "Time to think of
another nest!"
l ather Kingfisher is a handsome fel
low. He is of (lull blue back and breast
marked with black. His under parts
are white and he has black tail feath
ers with curious white lines across
them. His pretty blue Lead is long
and adorned with a tuft of feathers.
His nest is not a little affair, woven
of sticks and grasses, like the majority
| of birds.
"1 like to lire near a quiet mill pond,"
says Father Kingfisher, "and there I
dig a good tunnel, perhaps six or eight
feet long, in the side of the sandy bank.
At the end of this tunnel I let Mother
Kingfisher arrange the nursery. I
bring her plenty of good, clean tish
: bones to ma Ice the cradles for the lit
! tie ones. They make the most com
fortable beds in the world—for little
Kingfishers."
It is on account of meals that Father
Kingfisher finds the sand bank a good
place for a home. He sits for hours on
a dry limb or a high post overlooking
the water. When his sharp eyes spy a
| tish swimming below him he darts
i down and seldom misses striking his
1 prey. Then, with the fish in his beak,
he mounts again to his perch and beats
| the fish against the tree or post until
j its spine is broken.
Father Kingfisher does not look as
if lie enjoyed his dinner. He swallows
it In great gulps, dislocating his neck
and jerking his body and wings during
the process. Hut he is a good pro- j
vider, although it is to be hoped that j
the little kingfishers do not tire of a
fisli diet, for they get little else.
The kingfishers are large, noisy and
assertive birds. They dash across tlie
water, looking like a long blue streak
in tliclr swift flight. When they spy
the fisli for which they have been
watching they dart down, plunging
into the water with a sudden dash.
The little kingfishers lie warm and
snug in their dry, sandy hole. No
doubt they think it far pleasanter
than the most daintily woven nest in
the top of the tallest tree!—N. Y. j

VERY CLEVER TRICK.
Hour to 801 l Water ivlth the Ileat or
One's Hand.
A very clever trick whereby cold
water may be made to appear to boil
from the heat of the hand is easily
managed by the boy magician.
Take at umbler and fill it three-quar
ters full of water. Show your audience
that is ordinary cold water, or ice
water, if you choose. Cover this with
a coarse linen handkerchief, allowing
its center to fall to the surface of the
water.
Place the palm of the hand tightly
over the top of the tumbler and gently
invert it with the right hand, which
will hold it iu the air after the left

hand is removed. The edges of the
handkerchief are to be firmly held !
around the side of the glass, and when j
the inversion is complete it will be '
found that not a drop of water has
been spilled and that by the pressure
of the outer air the handkerchief re
tains its concave form in the glass.
Now with the left hand slowly and
firmly draw up the handkerchief ends
so as to stretch it tightly over the
mouth of the tumbler, when, of course,
the water will follow it to the lowest
point, leaving a vacuum above it.
This vacuum, being something nl
ways abhorrent to nature, as we are
taught at school, must be filled at
once: hence the outer air will force
itself through the handlcerhief and up j
through the water in a rapid sucees- i
sion of bubbles. So lively will this be !
that the operator will clearly feel the
vibrations in his hand, the audience
will hear the bubbling as of boiling
water, and if the glass be long and tin?
handkerchief properly arranged, so
that the glass is exposed to view he- j
tween the four corners of the hand
kerchief, the violent disturbance may ,
plainly be seen, an exact counterpart
of the steam bubbles in boiling water.
If this trick be introduced ly appro
priate remarks and with the panto- j
mime of rapidly rubbing the hands
together to generate a high degree of
animal heat, it is very effective. Of
course, it is well to practice a few
I times over a basin until proficiency is
attained.—St. Louis Republic.
Peter Made a Mistake.
The schoolmistress was showing off
her pupils to some visiting friends.
She had been over the same ground a
day or two before, and thought she
could trust them to do her credit.
"Who knows what useful article is
furnished to us by the elephant?" she
asked.
"Ivory," was the prompt reply of
three boys at once.
"Very good. And what do you get
from the whale?"
"Whalebone."

seal?"
