THUItSDAY.
.MAY 1, 1S78.
PAPA'S lETTKu.
I am silting in my study, -
WrlUncluenwb11 ' hard.
.ptesseTdear mamma, Mary told me
Mamma mustn't b Isturbed:
"But I'm tind of tbe kitty
Want some omr fins to do.
Writing letters, is vhi, mamma ?
Taut I write a letter too ?"
"Not bow, darling; mammal busy ;
Run and play tmb kilty now."
"No, no, ratunraa; me write letter
Tan II 7a will Hhow me bow."
I would pafnUay darling's portrait
As bis sweet eyes search my race;
Hair ot gold and eyes of azure.
Form of ebthllsh, winning grace.
Itat the eager face was olouded
As I slowly shook my !p-ad.
Till IaaM.'q'll make a letter
Of TOU.emrllng boy. Instead."
Bo I parted hack the tresses
From Ms forehead high and while.
And n stamp In sport I pasted
Hid the waves or golden light.
1 I Kttd. "Now. little letter.
Go awajr and bear good news;"
Audi smiled as down tbe staircase
Clattered tend tbe little shoes.
Leaving tne, the darling hurried
Down to Mary in his glee:
"Mamma's writing lots or letters
lfeeu latter, Mary, see."
U one beard the little prattler
Aaeuee more be climbed tbe stair,
. ReMbed Ms little eap and tippet,
( Standing on the entry stair.
. Neo beani the front door open,
N6 one saw the golden hair.
Ai It floated o'er bis shoulders
In the crisp October air.
Down the street the baby hastened
Till be reached the office door:
"1'se a letter, Mr. Postman;
Is dere room lor any more ?
"Tause this letter dotn' to papa ;
Pfcpa lives wlz I tod, 'on know;
Mamtna sent ae tor a tetter
Doe 'ou Ant at I can go T "
But tbe clerk In wonder answered,
-Not to-day. my little man."
"Den I'll flud an oaser office,
Tause I must do If I tan."
Kaln the clerk would hare detained him.
But the pleading face was gone.
And the little feet were hastening
By the busy crowd swift on.
Sadden ly the crowd was parted;
People fled to left uad right,
A a pair of maddened horses
At the moment dashed In sight.
No one saw the baby Ague,
No one saw the golden hair.
Till a voice of frightened sweetness
Bang out in the open air.
Twas too late; a moment only
stood the beauteous vision there;
Then the little faee lay lifeless.
Covered o'er with golden hair.
Reverently they raised my darling.
Brushed away the curls of gold,
Saw the stamp upon tbe forehead,
Growing now so Icy cold.
Not a mark tbe faee disfigured,
Knowing where the hoor had trod;
But the little lire wsx ended
"Papa's letter" was with God.
Accommodating.
Mr. Burdette, tbe humorist of the
Burlington JIawkeye, in describing his
adventures while traveling on railroads,
thus sets forth tbe unreasonableness of
certain passengers:
A woman with three bird-cages and a
little girl has just got on tbe train. She
arranges the three bird-cages on a seat,
and then she and the little girl stand up
in tbe aisle, and she glares around upon
the uncallant men who remain clued
iu their seats and look dreamily out of
Hie window.
I bend my face down to the tablet and
write furiously, fori feel her eyes fast
ened upon me. Somehow or other, I
am always the victim in cases of this
delicate nature. Just as I expected.
She speaks, fastening her commanding
gaze upon me:
"Sir, would It be asking too much if I
begged you to let me and my little girl
have that seat? A gentleman cau al
ways find a seat so much more easily
than a lady."
And she smiled. Xot tbe charming
est kind of a smile. It was too trl
umphantto be very pleasing. Of course
I surrendered. I said:
"Ob, certainly, certainly. I could
find another seat with scarcely any
trouble."
Bite thanked me, and I crawled out of
my comfortable seat, and gathered up
overcoat, my manuscript, my sbawl
strap package, my valise and my over
shoes, and she ami the little girl weut
Into the vaoaut premises as suou as the'
writ or ejectment Had been served, and
they looked happy and comfortabte.
Then I stepped across the aisle: I took
up those bird-cages and set tbem along
on top of the coal-box, and sat down on
tbe seat thus vacated.
I apologetically remarked to the
woman, who was cazinc at me with an
expression that boiled trouble, that "It
was mueh warmer for the canaries up
by the stove."
She didn't soy anything, but she gave
me a look that made it much warmer
for me, for about five minutes, than the
stove can make it for the canaries. I
don't believe she likes me. and I am
uncomfortably confident that she disap
proves oi my conduct.
Poetry and Married Life.
The Philadelphia Ledger has tbe fol
lowing under the above head:
There are those who contend that the
romance oi me ends with marriage. All
the blissful illuMons of vounir lovp.
they say, are gradually dispelled by the
bard and flat routine of prosalo and
practical life. Certainly, If love he an
illusion, marriage will destroy it. Those
who imagine that lire nerearter Is to be
a paradise of bliss, where self-denial
and self-control are needless, where
trouble and pain cannot enter, and
where the only duty of life Is to enjoy
what has not been earned, will certainly
become disenchanted by marriage, as
by any other actual experience. All
tout is really Illusory will be dispelled.
But that marriage Is to take away aa
iration, hope, delicacy, or anything
that helps to form the poetry of life
that is to diminish or degrade the love
that bailed to it, and put into its place
a prosaic respectability, station in life,
! wT2,aWnB and 'ashion-ls an Idea
?" i,D toJeraUon- If this were
. thw ' indee31 would wedded life be
oetrvK 7 ?"" and "rtld for high
but u the mockery of marriage thai
brings such disaster to the pu.eU aj
best parts or our nature. The truest el
ements of romance exist wherever ren
erous devotion, brave endeavor and
steadfast love inspire tbe heart, and no
situation in life is better calculated to
develop mese qualities than that of
marriage.
One of the editors of the Beading
Hmee has translated "Baby Mine" into
Pennsylvania Dutch. Xow, if he could
only translate the author, and the boys
who whistle tbe air. Into some far-away
lands, this country would' feel grateful
enough to start a monument to him
and never flulsh It. KorrMoton Herald.
r
AstenisHng Feats in Jugglery.
In Delhi, India, we saw tbe celebrated
basket trick, which Is sometimes poorly
imitated by professional maRlcIaus in
this country.' A native produced a
basketand blanket, and alter permitting
us iu oee mat, ttiey contained uolulug,
inverted tbe basket on the ground and
covered it with a blanket. We paid no
atteution to bis incantations, but kept
our eyes fixed ou the basket and tbe
siiaco around it, resolved that no boy
bhould be smuggled into it or out of it
wiiuoui seeing uim. What made tbe
feat still more wonderful was tbe fact
that tbe performer stood in a clearspace
and we could look down upon him as lie
proceeded. He went through the cus
tomary act of tbrustinca sword tbroucb
the Interstices of the basket, when the
cries of a boy were beard, as if in mortal
pain, Issuing from the basket. Turning
it over there was a boy within, appar
ently unhurt and seemingly enjoying
the run. Restoring me basket wltli tlie
blanket over It, to its former position.
with the boy underneath It, the juggler
went through some incantations, and
then runnlug his sword under tbo
blanket, tossed itaway from him. Turn'
over tbe basket no boy was to be seen
So far as anything could be observed,
there was no possible place in which
the little fellow could be concealed.
Another feat quite as astonishing we
saw performed lu me streets or (jonstan
tluonle. An Itinerant musician showed
us a cane, which had the appearance of
being wood ana very Knotty. Tnls tie
tossed in tbe air as bleu as ho could, and
when It struck the ground it took tbe
form of a live serpent, with blazing eyes
nud rapid movements. It looked like a
dangerous specimen, and one which no
man in his senses would like to ap
proach. Catching up this monster, tbe
fellow coiled it around his neck and
fondled it, while It writhed and ex
hibited the most venomous qualities.
Throwing it high up In tbe air, it fell to
tbe ground the same cane wuicu we
had handled at our ease. It was tbe
trick which Aaron performed In Egypt
when he turned bis rod Into a serpent,
and tbe Egyptian musician did the same
thing In imitation.
The World's Amanuensis.
The essayist Is a poet in prose; letting
the world llow past him, and from tbe
wuimslcal, tne grave and meiancuoiy,
lie extracts bia mirth and moralities,
His maiu gift is an eye to discover tbe
suggestiveness of common things; to
find sermons in me most unpromising
texts.
This writer has no lack, of subject
matter. There are essays everywhere
and one only needs to be the world's
amanuensis. The collln or a pauper
carried carelessly along, Is as good a
theme as tbe funeral procession of an
emperor. Craped drum and banner add
nothing to death; penury and disre
spect take nothing away. Two rustic
lovers whisnerinc between the darkened
hedges, is as good an essay as II one tiau
feeu Borneo toueh the cheek of Juliet in
the mooulit garden. A curly-headed
child asleep iu the sunshine before a
cottage door Is sufficient Inspiration for
a dlscoure.
If a thing is useful to an essayist, he
is not squeamish as to where he picks it
up. Ho Is shy of friendship, and fears
love, lor'ie knows mat uotn are uauger
ous. He believes that life Is full of bit
ters, and he holds it wisdom that a man
should console himself as far as possible
with Its sweetB, and finally is the last
man to relinquish the shabbiest sub
stance, to grasp at the faintest shadow,
Kural Jlome.
Life in Sax Francisco. MrsAda
C. Bowles, writiug of Sau Francisco,
her new home, says:
I have called San Francisco the "City
of Booms," as compared, to rbiladel
DUla. me City of Homes; a term you
would think justified could you but see
tbe large proportion of houses with bills
in the windows of "Furnished Booms to
Let." Man) causes exist no doubt for
this state of things, such as high rents,
high wages or servants, aud a change'
lul population, containing a largo num
her of unmarried men and women, away
from distant homes in search of fortunes
or health. But above all tbe other
causes I believe risks in 6tock-gambliug,
tbe indulgence In which costs many u
man his home, or the Ravings which
would give him one. Houses can be
built here so cheaply, demanding no
cellar, no burying ol water and drain
pipes below frost lines; no thick walls
and strong roots to bear ueavy snows,
that Industry and economy would soon
give every mau his own home aud lire-
side.
A Lik Sticks. A little newsboy, to
sell his paper, told a lie. The matter
came un in Sunday achool,
"Would you tell a He for a penny?"
asked the teacher of oue of her boys.
"Xo, ma'am, "answered TJick very de
cidedly.
"For sixpence?"
"Xo, ma'am."
"For a shilling ?"
"Xo, ma'am."
"Forathousaud shillings?"
Diek was atasrgnred. A thousand
shillings looked big. Oh, would it not
buy lots of things? While he was think'
Ins another boy called out behind him,
"2so, ma'am."
"Why not?" asked the teacher.
"Because, when tbe thousand shll
lines are all gone, aud all the things
they've got with tbem are gone too, the
lie Is there all me same," auswereu me
hnv.
It is so. A He sticks. Everything
else may be gone but that Is lert; and
vou will have to carry it with- you.
whether you will or not. A hard, heavy
load it Is.
Life Isbutaspan; marriage isadouble
team; and youth wedded to old age Is a
tandem.
