There waa an old man who need to take ear of Somebody ' garden, aod bp aaw tlii plaut growing there aad grop ing about lur eupport, ao he faaUiuid a elrtag ftotn a ptg aturk into the gruimil op to Hoiui boily'a wluiluw gill, ami then he qniU- furgot all about IL The next morning the Morning Olorj felt more rbenrfol, aud abe ttarteil upon hrt aran-h again. Hhe had not far to go the) ttuia, unraoae the kind uld man had faatonvd Ue peg vury noar to wliere the lay; au abe tvarbivl about with OAiition to si J another atoue, and took hold of the atrtug. The poor, atghUeM little thing did not knew that the old luu had pat it thnre for her, bat eutuebow ahe felt that It would lead bra to where ahe wiahed to goup toward the beautiful blue eky and the great golden tun. 8u ahe climlied along the atring, tlowly at trat, then faater each day aa abe be gan to knew Ibe way, until, like Jack 'a bean atalk, ahe had reached the window 11. Now Somebody, the pnraoa who owned the gardea. waa ill; ao III that he bad to eta y el way in hi room with aa ngly hlark bandage over hut eyea, and the doctor feared that he might arer tee again. He waa very onhappy, and waa often oh, ao very I cruea, and the aarranU qnii feared him when he tpoke to thooi la a hania and antltoritatife voice. Ua had no reUUrea, aad be tired quitn alone in hia great booaa, with many peo ple to wait upon him, and with erer ao mush money to boy thing to make him happy, hot the thing that one buy do not alwaya make one happy, and he waa terribly wretched in hia big, fine honae. One morning he groped hia way to the pea window and put hia hand ont 0n Urn aide of the frame, and he felt a iiltle, iharp nail. - Now if he had been gpntle the nail would not hare hurt him, for it waa a harmlraa little thing, but he made a rough, impatient moremrnt, and it caught his finger and brniaad it a little. Thia aiade Somebody very angry, and he said ansae very napieaaant thing shout the peraun who dared to pot a ail ontaide hia window, and he felt about, rery caalionaly thia time, to find the nail once mora, that be might tear it out. - Ho he moved hi hand slowly along upon the aill. and the Morning Olory waa reaching her little hand a boat there at the eatue time, aad their two hands met. One did not look at all like a hand, but it waa one joat the aaina, and the little green hand graaped the great white one and they aeouied to know and under stand each otlrar at onoo, for the little green hand aaid to the Urge white one very tenderly: "Oh! ao yoa are blind, tool I am to aorry!" The great hivnd did not try to find the nail afUtthat; It just touched the Morn ing Qlory with a aoft curoHt and two great drop fell upon the ltwvss. They feltatrangoly aud not at all like the cool rain drop which aoinutiine watered the Morning Glory, and tomnthiug told her that thwe drops were ttr. . Now, aftor thia these two-Somehody and the Morning U lorygrew to love each other very doarly, aud each dity they would fxd about for ono another, aud the dainty Morning Glory would nestle aguluut his heardtid cheek and Somebody would pet ber aud stroke her leaves very gently. And the cuoerful hopefulnuxa of the little groen plant helped Somebody to be a little bit hopeful, too. You soe it was harder for hiui, for be had not always bveu bliutl, while she had never seen, and was so need to it that now she hard ly niiitdod It at all. One morning the Morning Olory brought her frtand a surprise. She had kept it a secret all tike while, and now she proudly pat a great, beautiful pink bloaaotn into hia hand. He oould not see that it was pl.ik, but ha felt that it wits lovely, and he kissed the pretty flower and murmured, "You little i beanty;" and that made the Morning Glory very happy, for all mothflrs dearly love to have their babies admired, you know. And the next morning Somebody had surprise for the Morning Glory. That waa a secret, too, No one knew it yet but the doctor, and Somebody drew the little Morning Glory close to hia lips and whispered it into her ear. Then te little green hand twined abontthe great white one, and thia -is what it said, "I am so glad that you are not going to be blind anr mora." And Somebody, understood It, sou ui Morning tatory agaia tell two great warm drop which aha kuew to be tears; but they were not bitter like the first ones; tliey were very aweai, becauee they ware tear of Joy. After this Hoiui'boily went away aud Wiia gone a loug time. Tin week pass ed and be did not return, and the Utile Morning Glory waa very aad; ahe felt hurt that he had left her so suddenly and wltb no word of adieu. Everything waa in a state of great btwlle and pri'tmrarion all over the plane. Little Morniug Glory could bear thetn barameiing and running about, and ahe ft-lt that something wa going to happen. Once all ranght tUe word bride," aad ometlilng told her what It all meant, and a little Ji-alou pain went through her heart, for aha had oru overheard the houat'Ouiiil telling the cook that all men were fickle, and that' when they were away from one tliey nave thought of one at all, and were Ukeu op with whoever wa neat-eat them, and the onok had agreed fully with all that the hi man maid had aaid, and the cook knew men if any one did, ahe aaid. So little Morning Glory hung ber leaves in endue and quite forgot to feel proud of beg- pretty pink babie for there were a great many of them now, Onoe ahe felt something tug at hrr roots and a rough hand graaped ber, then a kind voice said, "Duot touch that; master loved the little vine, and it most be left aa it la." uii, how relieved little Momiug Glory fnlt at three wordal Bbe reached out aod tried to touch the speaker, but Die maid hurried away aad nt'ver aaw the little green band at all. Boon the nights began to be chilly, and one by one ber iiauiee left her and flut tered to the ground, and aha heranlf grew pal and felt very weak and Ul, and abe feared that ahe wa going to die. How she wiahed that Somebody would come hack: she was afraid that he would be too late. One morning she heard the window otieu, and Homebody again stood there there was some one with him now a bvaotirul lady and he held ber In his Brum and called ber "Sweetheart." In hia new happiness he had quite forgotten his little friend, and Morning Glory's h. art ached as abe nrmembered what the maid had told the cook. J rut then Somebody looked out and aaw poor little Morning Glory with her leaves all faded and brown, and he re proached himself because he had not thought of ber before. 'Here, dearest," be said to the lady. "thia k the little friend I told you of, and he laid the withered little stem to the lady's delicate hand. A glad thrill ran through the Morning Glory, and she dropped sixty tiny seeds into the nit open palio; then as the wind wept around the oortwir a sadden shud der seised her, aad littla Morning Glory aa dead. "Seel my pet T aaid Somebody, pointing to the little bUck arras, "that good luck; it Is ber gift to the bride. Aad the beautiful lady muled and ah put the seeds in a htUa box, saying. Next year we will have another Morn ing Glory viue there just like the old one.' 'No, said Somebody, "never one quite like that, fur that one was Uke a little friend; it rvally seemed to on demand me. But thou I don't Med any one to WderaUnd me now, for I have you," and again the lady waa folded in a loving embrace and Somebody kiaaed her softly. .-Marie Moure Morse iu Chicago Tunes. The facte of Ireland. No critio ha yet given us a scientific analysis of Irish genius, but there are certain features of It whioh all recog nise as distinctive as peculiarly Irish. The moat marked of these, perhaps, is the delicate subtlety of the language used in exptremiur the emotions. Through all Uieaes this hat been noted. No matter whether the poet or orator waa Kcllii: or Norman, Dan or Saxon, if only his family had been fn Ireland long enough, his effusions showed the tame exijuisite perception of the delicate eh silca of meaning in sll words expreasive of sorrow or love, anjeer, humor or hutriHl, devotion or patriotism. , Is it In the air or tlie scenery? 1 The verses of Tom Moore, Oliver Gold smith, Dr. Magtnn, Charles Lover and many others might be oited in this con nection. i These are but specimens of the most cultured Irish poets, but the great point of iuUrtt in tins connection is the mor mons mass of poetry and song floating among the common people. And this has distinguished Ireland from the ear liest times. The Druids and the bards, the early Christian misaionariM and later heroes, eveu the transplanted Danes, Normans, Scotchmen, Saxons, all were pootic after their kinds, and in many sec tions of Ireland the trained ear often de tects a sort of rhythm in the common speech of Hie peasantry. To sketch ever so briefly the writvrt of popular Irish tongs in recent times would simply be to write a book. And the supply is ap parently without limit, the music . as sweet, the language at tender, at delk cately shaded as ever. No popular move ment i without its poets; no corner of Ireland but enjoy many local ballads. Yet, it must be ta the air. -. Sara-leal Inatraaaawaa. A thing the general public does not know is that there are few, if any, pat ents on surgical instrument. When a physician gets np some new device to meet the needs of the progression of surgery and medicine he doss not get a patont on it, but any one it free to make it, and the profession gets the benefit of that fact. -Cincinnati Enquirer. , Jaat Stop Dadgtag. .

Hat mother was out no chance for detection from that quarter. She rarairsbered that the occupants of the other room were also away for Christmas ao on to diacover bar there. . Surely the coast waa clear. Yea, she saw it, and with a rapid step walked boldly Into his room. Ah! bow abe flushed at her own pretty face in the mirror a dainty, hand painted thing doubtless the gift of that other. But what other?

Stair Tele- ' Every reader has at some penWl of his or her life beard of the nine of diamonds referred to as "the curse of Scotland;' but why, perhaps, you have never taken the time or trouble to ascertain. - In my "Repository of the Rare aad the Wonderful" I find no leas than seven teen xpianatiooa of the origin of the expres sion, while Southwkk's "Quixxiam and Its Key" gives eleven, eevon ot which are wholly different from the answers given in the work above referred to, making in all twenty-four different accounts of the origin of the ejweasion in the two works. Bouthwiuk traces it back to 1745, men tioning a caricature of that date which Kpreeeats "the ' young ' chevalier" at tempting to lead a herd of bulls laden with papal curses across the Tweed river with the nine of diamonds lying before them. Perhaps the most satisfactory explana tion of the enigma is that which refers it to the massacre of Glencoe. The or der for that cruel deed was signed by the Karl ot Stair, John Dairymple, sec retary of state for Scotland. The coat af arms of the Dairymple family bears nine loswngen, reaomblins; diamonds, on its shield. Thus it appears to bare been with referenco to them that the nine pot of diamonds was called "the curse of Scotlacd." The best and moat likely of the other reasons for the origin of the expression are given below. " During the reign of Mary a thief at tempted to steal the crown from Elisa beth castle, and succeeded in abstract ing nine valuable diamonds from it To replace these a heavy tax was laid on the people ef Scotland, which impover ished them to such au extant that nine dianaonds, whether on cloth, card or real jewels, were spoken 6f at "Albion's euros." . In the ganw of Pope Joan the nine of diamonds is the pope, whom th Scotch Presbyterians consider a curse. It is also said that the Duke of Cum berland wrote his inhuman 'orders at Culloden on the back of a card, the front of which was marked with nine dia monds. : The "Oracle, or lieaol ver of Questions," printed in 1770, sayi that the crown of Scotland had but nine diamonds, and that the Scotch people were too poor to add to the collection.
