OLD-MAID'S MUSIC.
All down the long narrow street
The windows wore wide all day;
The musks and the pinks smell sweet
In the hoxe; over the way.
The night is a iii'ht of June.
When the summer Howe's are born
And, above a sickle moon
Hangs over the coming corn.
No sigh of the past is there,
And the silence spellful feels;
When out on the dreamy air
The Old-Maid's music steals.
-IfciieeihVTtilfr -
lhat must fill the eye with teal's
So sweet, so wistful, so old,
That ility of fifty years!
Even as I listen and hear,
Those years roll hack between,
And the long ago draws near,
Till 1 look on what has been.
And a sound of footsteps rings,
And the shadows move below
While she lifts her voice and
sings
That ditv of loni; a!0.
And I see two figures pace
Together with lingering feet;
And now 'tis a girl's white face
That looks down the empty street.
And I see her lean and gaze,
And the crowd is black below-
But the Old Maid sits and plays
That dity of long ago!
,,p. ,. . , . , .
lis hht m the narrow street,
lo-di
lay is the longest day;
The musks and the pinks smell sweet
In the boxes over the way.

Mary Ann's Mother Afraid.
"An' have ye heard any more
from Mary Ann, neighbor
O'Raherryr
''Divil the wurrid, Airs.
O'FIaherty, only that the Erinch
count got to jilons av siveral
gintlemon at Chitaquaky that
he 1 ill take her away and aff to
New York.'
"An' phwy didn't he bring
the choild home to her mother,
inshtirl av takin' her away aff to
New York?''
"An' shure it was to home he
did want to bring her, but Alary
Ann, bavin' niver pcen in New
York, an' wantin' to see the
stoile, ye know, an' to learn
more av the wurruld afore she
do go on the stage, she mod the
count take her there for a few
days."
"An'
how does she loikc it
there?"
"Loike it? Eaith an' she sex
it even bates Chitaquaky for
great gintlciiien. She was no
sooner sailed at the table at Dil
monico's, 1 belaves it is, she
calls it, than the eyes av all the
gintlemon in the room were up
on her. They fairly shtopped
aitin,' they did. An' the nixt
niorniir at the hotel she do be
sthoppin at, she resai.xed cards
av the most illegant flavor, so
noicc that she sez she could ate
thini, from the most fashiona
blest gintlcmen in the city. But
I tell ye, the Frinch count is a
daisy- divil the wan stv the
whole gang did he allow to iti
ter Mary Ann s room, so much
loike a father to her is he, ye
know.''
"I.oike a father!"
"Indude' an' sonietoiines I'm
afraid, so I am, there'll be great
trouble betwixt the count and
some other gintlenien, owin,' ye
know, to Mary Ann's great
figure an takin' ways. Espic
ially I'm afraid av that Gib
hard t. fell. They say he's a
very divil after beauty. "Well,
me washin' is waitin' on me.
I must go in. I'laise excuse
me." Kentucky State Journal.
Tho old ehestnut of nredict
ing that the national banks will
b' flns-i'd four months after the
inauguration of Harrison is go
ing the rounds, and some bets
have been offered and taken on
it. Four months after Harri
son's inauguration is July a

Kentucky Coroner: "Yes, the
papers found upon the deceased
prove that he was Colonel Blood."
Witness: "There was also a
quart bottle found in one of bis
pockets." Corinor: "Was the
bottle empty?" Witness: "No,
sir, it was full hadn't been
touched." Coroner: "Poor fel
low, be must have died without
a moment's warning."
An English View.
The following editorial pub
lished in the London Times the
day after our election, shows the
interest manifested by the En
glish in the success of the dem
ocratic and President Cleveland :
Our advices this morning
would seem to indicate that Mr.
Cleveland has been re-elected
to the presidency of the United
States. Missouri and Arkansas
two of the strongest republican
Utatqs, have xptqrned- democrat
ic congressmen, while Maryland
and Florida are overwhelmingly
democratic. It will require
several weeks perhaps to hear
from Illinois, lying as it does
west of the Kocky mountains,
but Nevada, New Jersey, and
other of the so-called gulf states
would doubtless give the admin
istration their support. Mr.
Carter Harrison, the republican
candidate for the presidency, is
now in Europe. Apparently he
has takent but little interest in
the contest. England has been
brought into the American po
litical fight by men who know
nothing of this country, its peo
pie, or even its geography. It
is surprising how densly ignor
ant of English affairs the Amer
icans are. A later dispatch
says that Ex-Governor Hill of
Georgia has been defeated for
the mayoralty in New York."
Obeying the Scriptures.
Cook (appearing in a great
hurry at the dining room door)
"1 'lease ma'am, will you
come and make Johnny let go
of the plum pudding? "We
can't get a mouthful; he's got
his arms around it, oud "
Ma "Arms around the pud
ding! You must be mistaken
cook! Did you give him a
plate of iff"
Cook "Yes, ma'am, I did,
but he wont leave hold of the
dish."
. Ala "I will come and see
about it. Johnny put your
arms down this instant. Thi6
is very nice behavior, truly!"
Johnny "Wiry, ma, didn't
you embroider that motto there
over the mantleshclf V1
Ala "Yes, Johnny, you saw
me work it. It is, "Obey lhe
Scriptures," and I hope you al
ways will."
Johnny "Yes, ma, I am do
ing so now! I read to-day in
the Bible class, 'Hold fast to
that which is good,' and this
pudding is so gcod that I want
to hold fast and eat it up."
Sensation.
He Knew What it Was.
A teacher in the High street
school, during the progress of a
lesson in physiology the other
day, used herself as a subject in
illustrating the different parts
of the body. No difficulty was
experienced in eliciting correct
answers as to the position of the
head, arms and lim!.s. "When,
however, the teacher described
something that was invisible the
scholars were mystified. She
asked about the location of the
backbone, and, indicating its
position in her own body, she
asked what it was. Nobody
could answer at first. Sudden

you wrong me. Some " yeari

was there, but I had no idea of
the stupendous, never-failing

How to Cook Husbands.
J " - a
Miss Carson said in the Bal
timore cooking-school that a
Baltimore lady had written a
receipt for cooking husbands,
so as to make them tender and
good. It is as follows: "Make
a clear, steady fire out of love,
neatness and cheerfulness. Set
him as near this as seems to
agree with him. If he sputters
and fizzes, do not be anxious;
some husbands do this until
they are quite done. Add a
little sugar in the form of what
confectioners call kisses, but no
vinegar or pepper on auy ac
count. Do not stick any sharp
instrument into him to see if he
is becoming tender. Stir him
gently; watch the vhile,lest he
lie too flat and close to the ket
tle and become useless. You
cannot fail to know when he is
done. If thus treated, you will
find him digestible, agreeing
nicely with you and the children,
and he will keep as long as you
want, unless 'on become care
less and set him in too cold a
place."
