WOULD SHE SUIT YOU?
There's Just one thing a man can have
In all this World of woe and strife,
That makes the business not too bad,
And that one thing's an easy wife.
Dost fancy that I love my girl
For rosy cheeks or raven hair 1
Ehe holds my heart because she laughs
Because the laughs, and doesn't care.
I put my boots Just where it suits,
And find them where I put them too
That Is a thing, you must allow,
A chap can very seldom do.
I leave my papers on my desk t
Bhe never dusts them In a heap,
Or takes to light the kitchen stove
The very one I want to keep.
On winter nights my cosy dame
Will warm her toes before the fire i
Bhe never scolds about the lamp,
Or wants the wick a trifle higher.
On Sundays the Is not so fine
But what her ruffles I can hug
I light my pipe Just where I please,
And spill tho ashes on the rug.
The bed Is never filled with " shams"
A thing some women vilely plan
To worry servants half to death
And spoil the temper of a man.
Bhe lets me sloop to any hour,
Nor raises any horild din
If It juBt happens, cow aud then,
To be quite late when I come In.
I toll yon, Jack, If you would wed,
Just such a girl who lets things run
She'll keep her temper like a lamb,
And helps yon on to lots of fun.
Don't look for money, ttyle or show,
Or blushing beauty, ripe and rare i
Just take the one who laughs at fate
Who laughs,and thows the doesn't care.
You think perhaps, our household ways
Are just perchance a little mixed
Oh, when they get too horrid bad,
We etlr about and get things fixed.
What compensation hat a man
Who earns his broad by sweat of brow,
If home la made a battle-ground,
And life one long, eternal row ?
THE DELAYED LETTER.
WHEN Harry Hunt and Hetty Hope
had been engaged three months,
the time came for him to leave I .
He had been only a Bummer boarder
at Grandfather Hope'B farm house, and
he had fallen In love with hU nelce, and
had won her heart. Bhe wore his ring,
and in a year they were to be married,
But, alas 1 that year was to be spent
apart. Harry was going to China, in
the interests of the firm of which he at
present was only an employee. On his
return he would be made a junior part
ner, and would be able to marry com
fortably. In her secret heart Hetty wished that,
poor as he was, Harry would ask her to
marry him then and there, and go on
the voyage with him. But a girl must
keep her thoughts to herself. And now
she had driven with him to the depot, to
see him off; and the train bad come and
he stood beside the light wagon holding
her hand, and whispering these words ;
" Ifp so hard that I cannot kiss you
at the last. Good-bye, darling I good
by 1"
Hetty was trying not to cry there at
the depot, before all those strangers.
Bhe almost wished she had not driven
down to see Harry off, though if she had
not come she would never have forgiven
herself.
" Good by," she whispered faintly.
Then Harry Jumped upon the train,
not an Instant too soon, and in a mo
ment more Hetty only saw a handker
chief fluttering from the window as the
engine puffed its way out of tho depot,
and flew around the curve of the road.
" Drive, home, Peter," she said to the
boy who held the reins ; and happily she
had power to keep the tears from her
lashes until the people who had stared
at her at the depot could stare at her no
more.
On the platform shade hats and sun
bonnets were gathered in a group dis
cussing the fact that Hetty Hope had
been down to see her beau off, and that
there was no longer any doubt that they
were engaged ; but Hetty did not know
or care for that. Bhe was crying softly
in the back of the little light wagon,
while Peter drove on, whistling the Star
Spangled Banner all outof tune.and now
and then stopping to break off a branch
full of wild cherries. It seemed so hard
that Harry should be going away for a
year a whole, long year. It was al
most as dreadful as though he were dead
for what might happen In a year V No
one could ever tell ; and the tears fell
again.
The only comfort Hetty could think
of was ber first letter, and it would be
three day before that could come,
However it came. Grandpa brought
it In his pocket and gave It to her with a
slow nod and a slower laugh, and aunt
Maria Inquired with her usual down
rightness whether that " was from her
beau '("' and cousin Tilly, by and by, in
privacy In their own room, asked If she
would let her see it, and was otTended
that she did not. These relatives of bers
were not alway delightful to poor Hetty
but her father was a busy man, who
traveled the world over, making a for
tune for the daughter he saw scarcely
twice a year, and her mother died in her
babyhood, and Hetty had no other home
than Grandfather's." They were very
good to her, that old man and his wid
owed daughter, Aunt Maria. And
cousin Tilly wa soft and pretty, and as
silly as a little white kitten. It might
have been very much worse, yet who
can blame Hetty for looking forward to
the time when she should have a home
of her own a home that suited her y
Papa sent her plenty of money now.
Bhe could do what she pleased with ' It,
and she bought smart caps for Aunt
Maria, and gay ribbons for Tilly and
slippers for Grandpa but the home was
not under her control. The prim parlor
waB not to be touched by her hand. The
blue shades, and red and green carpet,
the wax fruit under a glass and the por
trait of Washington over the mantle
piece, remained as she had first seen
them, when as a child she regarded that
parlor as a sort of a sacred place not to
be pluyed in. Bhe filled her own tiny
sleeping room with what Aunt Maria
denominated Jim-cracks ; but the fami
ly disapproved of vines about the house
and there was not a tree within the
small, prim garden palings, and good as
they all were, the people who lived in
the house were exactly like it. They
had no sense of the beautiful and no
yearning for it.
So Hetty dwelt Inwardly alone and
built her air-castles, and lived on one
letter until she had another, and the
time of her lover's absence wore on
wearily until six months were gone, and
then came a letter which made Hetty
hold her breath while she read it, and
burst into tears as soon as she had fin
ished it. ,
" Dear Hetty," it said, " an unfore
seen thing has happened. My employ
ers desire me to remain in China for
for some years. If I do so they will
make me a partner, and I shall be able
to live well and comfortably, and to
grow rich In time; but will you be will
ing to live here with me V Will you
come out to me under safe protection
and spend years of your young life In
this strange land t Think it over, dar
ling. The case stands just thus ; If you
refuse, I will return, but I shall then
have no prospects ; no means whatever
A penniless man who must take any po
sition that offers will be your husband
in that case. The choice is In your
hands ; or, perhaps It would be honora
ble in me to set you free. The thought
almost breaks my heart. Dear Hetty,
what shall I say ' I think I could make
you happy even here. If you are will
ing to come, write to me. If you desire
that I should return, and seek my for-
in your native land, write that frankly ;
but if you feel that neither alternative
pleases you and desire your freedom do
not write at all ; let silence be my an
swer. I confess that I have hope that
even under my altered circumstances you
will still be true."
More followed lover's tulk with
which we have nothing to do ; and Het
ty cried over the letter and was sorry,
but she wrote at once.and the last words
of her letter were these :
" I will come to China whenever you
send for me."
The mail bag was nearly ready at the
post office, which was also the grocery
store. Grandfather Hope stopped his
wagon at the door at that moment.
. " Hullo I" cried he, ' here's another
letter for ye. My neice has written to
her beau In Chauy, and you've got to
send that."
The postmaster laugh ed and took the
missive, stamped it properly, and took
the silver coin from Grandfather Hope's
outstretched hand.
' Seems as if there was a resumption
of specie payments," he said, " I got a
five dollar gold piece this morning."
And then the two old men fell to talk
ing politics, while Hetty's letter was
carried toward the post office by the
clerk. Only toward it for the train was
not yet due, and Miss Candor wanted
four pounds of coffee sugar crushed in a
great hurry. The letter was put down
on the counter and the sugar weighed.
The clerk pushed the parcel toward Miss
Candor and the letter with it. There
was a wide crack between the top and
the side of the counter, and Into that the
leUer slipped unseen. Other things had
slipped down the same crevice before
pennies and hairpins, skeins of silk, and
pieces of tape but no one knew it. As
for this letter the clerk never remember
ed it again. The postmaster believed it
to be in the bag, and Grandfather Hope
went home aud told Hetty that be had
seen her beau's letter safe off to Chany,
with no idea that he was not telling her
the honest truth.
Harry waited at the antipodes for his
letter in vain, and Hetty waited to be
sent ior.
Any other two friends, relatlves.stran
gers would have written again, but lov
ers are always ready to be suspicious, to
doubt, to fear they are deserted and for
gotten, aud with the world between
them these two pined for each other
grieved, grew angry, never forgot and
never wrote any more.
'She has broken ,our engagement,"
said he.
1 He wanted to break our engage
ment," said she.
And soon the village began to know
that Hetty Hope was not going to mar
ry Harry Hunt.
Hetty married nobody. Bhe refused
all her offers, and lived on with her
grandfather. Aunt Maria died. Tlllie
married. Hetty kept house for the old
man still. She was not young any long
er. Girls called her an old maid. Bhe
had left off caring much about her dress
though she was now a rich woman, for
the father she was almost a stranger to,
had left her an heiress when he died In
a far-off land.
The farmhouse was prettier and more
tasteful, and she had one or two chosen
friends, but her life was woefully quiet,
and over her heart she always wore a
locket with Harry Hunt's hair In It, and
under the locket lay a regret too deep for
utterance. One saw It sometimes in her
eyes, or guessed It from the tone of her
voice, that was all.
a
It was a bright autumn day, twelve
years from that on which grandfather
Hope had carried the lost letter to the
poet office.
The mail bag was being made up
again, aud the carpenter was at work at
the counter.
"Hullo I" cried he.
"Well?" replied the postmaster.
"You seem to have been hiding things
here," said the carpenter. " I've a
mind to keep all I find. Beo here I"
What's been dropped Into the cracks?
I tell you what you needed a new coun
ter bad."
" Bo we did so we did," said the post
master, putting on his glasses. ' Well,
I want to know V Cake of bees wax,
paper of plus, hair pins, sheet of stick
ing plaster hullo I a letter I Here put
this in the bag it's stamped ; some one
has left it on the counter. Hullo I let's
see what else you've found 1"
He tossed the letter to his little grand
son. This time it went into the post
bag this time after lying in the dark
for twelve years, It was actually on its
way to China.
A man of forty, with his hair already
silvering, stood amongst his employees
in the great Canton warehouse. Silks
and strange rich, gold-threaded stuff,
fans, umbrellas, screens, cabinets were
being packed under his submission.
" Mlsser Hunt," said a small, shrill
Chinese voice at his elbow. " Ship has
come bring letters."
" Very well," said Harry Hunt. "Put
them down, Chi Foo, and see to those
fans. My Yankee boy there don't un-
derstand them."
Chi Foo went to work at the fans.
Harry Hunt turned over the letters.
These were mostly business missives
Instructions from his senior partners
replies to letters he had written con
cerning sales and purchases ; a highly
perfumed note bearing a monogram and
a coat of arms from a cousin who wrote
occasionally to borrow money, a news
paper, a magazine, and, lost but not
least, a dirty, time-yellowed envelope
with a corner bitten off by a hungry
mouse, with the superscription half ob
literated. A thrill ran through Harry's
frame as he looked at the handwriting.
He tore It open ; within lay a letter fresh
as though written an hour before, dated
September 4th, 1800, and ended thus
" I will come to China whenever you
Send for me."
Harry Hunt read It, understood what
had happened, though not bow it had
happened ; and leaving his silks, shawls
and Chlneses brio-a-brao to take care of
themselves, he rushed to his office, and
there Indited a strange incoherent letter
to one who for all he knew might be
dead, or married to another but who
must know the truth If she lived.
And so a little later, Hetty sat in her
little light wagon at the station waiting
for a train, and from that train, when it
arrived, descended a man older and
darker than the Harry from whom she
parted twelve years before ; and this
time they did not care for the combined
stare of all the town, had all the town
been there to see, but kissed each other
with such kisses as those who meet in
Heaven may great each other with for
they had been dead to each other for
twelve long years anu were auve again

HOW TO SAY NO.
Many a promising young man has
been ruined because he did not under
stand how to say no. Hannah Moore,
In her story of ' Parley the Porter,"
illustrates the evil results of dallying
with temptation. The porter parleyed
with the enemy till the house was rob
bed and ruined. There are many people
who say " No," but so faintly, that the
words stick In the throat, and only In
vite further persuasions. Bald one little
boy who was advised to persuade his
mother to reconsider some decision to
which she had come: "When my
mother says ' No,' there is no ' Yes' in
It."
Many a man tempted by. appetite
within, and by associates without, says
No," but feebly and faintly. His
No" has a " Yes" in it, and the "Yes"
finally prevails.
We remember an anecdote of a young
Rhode Island boy, which we put on rec
ord in substance as we heard it related.
He was coming along the street one day
with a young man who was somewhat
exhlllrated with strong drink, and after
walking along awhile his companion
drew a bottle from his pocket and said
to the boy :
"Have some?"
' Well.hand It over here," replied our
friend.
The bottle was passed to him, and
raising it aloft, he hurled it with a crash
against the stone wall, and, turning to
his dazed and astonished companion, ex
claimed :
' There 1 Don't you ever put a bottle
to my Hps again I"
The young man was perhaps a little
inclined to be Irritated, but had sense
sufficient to restrain his anger, and
while his friend had no further occasion
to resist his solicitations to drink,' there
is reason to suppose that the forcible ex
ample set before his companion had. a
restraining influence to hold him from
an evil and ruinous path.
That young man's " No" had no
" Yes" In It, and his parents look with
a Just parental pride upon a son who
has grown up undefiled by alcohol and
kindred abominations, and who is theii
joy and hope for years to come.
There are hosts of young men who
need the decision that this young man
had. Thousands of men are to-day
drifting, wrecked and ruined, down to
the drunkards' grave, who might have
been saved If they had possessed the
courage to smash the bottle and stand
free from Its defilement and its curse.
What we need Is men who can Bay :
" Get thee behind me, Satan 1" and who
would crush a rum bottlo as soon as
they would a serpent's poison head. The
man who does this will never be a
drunkard.
PEACE.
The believer's peace is like a river for
continuance. Look at it, rising as a lit
tle brook among the mosses of a lone
green hill ; by and by it leaps as a rug
ged cataract ; anon it flows along the
fair valley where the red deer wanders
and the child loves to play with hum
of pleasant muslo the brook turns the
village mill. Hearken to its changeful
hum as it ripples o'er its pebbly bed, or
leaps adown the wheel or sports In ed
dies where the tree bends down their
branches to kiss the current. Anon the
streamlet has become a river, and bears
upon its flood full many a craft. Then
its bosom swells, bridges with noble
arches span It, and, grown vaster still, It
becomes a stream broad enough to be an
arm of old father ocean, pouring Us water-floods
into the mighty main. The
river abides the lapes of ages ; it is no
evanescent, moving cloud, or transient
rain flood, but in all Its stages it is per
manent. " Men may come, and men may go,
But I flow on forever."
Evermore, throughout afk generations
the river speedeth to its destined place.
Buch is the peace of the Christian. He
has always reason for comfort. He has
not a consolation like a swollen torrent,
which la dried up under the hot sun of
adversity; but peace la the rightful pos
session at all times. Ever is the river
in its place. And ever thus come night
come day, come sickness, come health,
come what will, the peace of God which
passeth all understanding will keep the
Christian's heart and mind, through
Jesus Christ.
C3F Happy Is he who has learnt not to
Beek for what Is pleasant, not to shrink
from what is painful, but to go on doing
everything that be knows to be good and
kind and right, in utter disregard of self.
How a man might ennoble and invigor
ate bis life If he would work this princi
ple into every grain of his mind and
strenuously act upon it, invariably striv
ing not after what would be pleasantest,
but what would be best 1 In fact it
is the very essence of all that is good
and great in human life ; aud not only
that it is the true road to happiness.
