LQVE AND VISION.
A. MArRV K. ROBINSON.
My" love is more than life to me
And you look on ami wonder-.
Jn what can that enchantment lie
Vou think I labor under.
Yet you, too, hare you never goue,
Some wet nnJ yellow even,
Where russet moors reach on and oh
Beneath a windy heaven?
Brown moors which at the western edge
A watery sunset brushes
With misty rays yon sullen ledge
Of clouds casts down on the rushes?
You see no more but shade your eye.-',
Forget the showery weather;
Forget the wet, tempestuous skies,
And look upon the heather.
Oh, fairyland, oh. fairyland !
It sparkle, lives, and dances:
By every gust swayed and fanned,
And every raindrop glances.
Nevex in jewel or wina the light
Burned like the purple heather:
And some in palest pink, some white,
Swaying and dancing together.
Every stem is sharp and clear,
Every bell is ringing;
No doubt some tunn we do not hoar
Nor the thrushes' sleepy singing. ,
Over all, lake the bleom on a grape.
The lilac seeding grasses
Have made a haze, vague, without shape,
For the wind to change as it passes.
Under all is the budding ling,
Gray-green with scarlet notche.-",
Bossed with many a mossy thing
And gold with lichen blotches.
Here and there slim rushes stand
Aslant like carried lances;
I saw it and called it fairylaud;
You never saw it, the chance is.
Brown moors and stormy skies that kiss
At eve in rainy weather
Pronounce on that. What the heather ia
I know for I saw the heather.
The Apothecary's ViUemine.
It was a lonely bousa for a obilJ to
live in only papa, who bad bean ill for
many months, little Iila herself, the ten-year-ohl
mistress of the establishment,
anfl Mrs. Libby, the housekeeper.
Across the street the postman bad been
ringing all day. Ida, watching at the
window, "with a piece of red tlaunel
around her throat, bad seen little lads
and lasses slipping envelopes under the
doors; then little girls, and sometimes
big girls, came out on the steps, looked
up and down the street, and smiled as if
they were very much pleased.
"Why do they get so many letters to
dav?" asked Ida, timidly.
Mrs. Libby wa3 cleaning the nursery
closet, and was answered shortly, "Those
are valentines; come away from the
window. You'll get cold."
"Valentines," said Ida, thoughtfully
to herself "I wonder what that is?"
She slipped down to the library and
dragged the V volume of the encyclo
pedia beside the register. Ida had long
since adopted the plan of looking up
Airs. Li buy s replies in papa s library
Tho child's head bent over the paqre
alentines A declaration of affection
between two people, sent on St. Valen
tine's day, the 14th of Februarv.
"A valentine must be something very
'nice," thought Iila, "the children over
the way were so happy. I wish I eoul
send one, but I only know Mrs. Libby.
And with a sigh, she put the heavy book
. back. Airs. Libby came down stairs
with her bonnet and shawl on, and Ida,
taking a small purse from her pocket.
asked, "Will vou please buy a valen
tine?"
" What for?"
"For me to give to you."
"Nonsense! Little girls don't send
valentin es to old women like me. Keep
your ten cents and put it in the box,
when youget well enough to go to
church."
Ida sat still a long time after this.
She wanted to be like other little girls,
but all the little girls she had ever known
intimately, were in books, and it so bap-
- peneu inai none oi tnese Had ever
spoken of Valentine's dr.y. The tele
phone bell rang; Ida heard the house
maid order "five pounds of coffee-
crushed sugar, to be sent up immedi
ately," and then an idea came into the
child's mind: "I can't go out to buy a
valentine, but l can telephone one.
She. repeated again, "A valentine is a
declaration of aneciion; yes! I can tele
phone a declaration of affection. Mrs
Libby is out. Fapa can't hear in his
room, and I'll get Mary to go down and
look at the furnace." Thus Ida made
Ler plans.
The next question was, to whom
should she send her valentine?
"I'd better look on the telephone list.
Seth Bennet, M. D. That's the Sector
who comes to see papa and me; he
wouldn't be in he is always out. John
Dixon, grocer; Thomas Irving, baker;
oh, here is K. H. Whitney! That's the
nice apothecary man who brings the
medicines. I'd like to send him a valen
tine."
Richard Whitney's clerk stood at the
telephone. Messages were coming in
very fast that February afternoon. Sam
Jones, the under clerk, was putting up
the packages: "One porous plaster for
Mrs. Lewis. Two ounces pulverized
slippery elm bark sent immediately to
19 Spruce street. Some one ants to
speak to Mr. Whitney."
"All right," he shouted back through
the telephone. "He's in the back shop:
I'll call him."
There was a smell of chloroform in the
lack shop. Mr. Whitney, on the top of
a step-iauaer, was
tion.
"Lady wants to
said the clerk.
preparing a presenp-
epeak to you, sir,"
9"
"Couldn't she give the message
UBJU nuc i;uuiuu I..
Mr. Whitney went to the telephone
and (jailed "What'a wanted?"
To his astonished ears came back: "I
send you a declaration of affection."
"I do not understand." said the apoth
ecary, not quite sure of his hearing.
The message was repeated, each word
very distinct.
"Who is it?"
"Your Valentine."
Sam Jones, judging from the expres
sion of Mr. Whitney's face that it was a
case of strangling, convulsions or pois
oning, had taken down his hat ready to
run. "No matter, Sam," said bis em
ployer, returning to the chloform atmos
phere of the back shop. It could not be
a joke; the voice was too sweet and true.
A child's voice a little girl's, he thought
but he did not know any little girls.
It might be one of the orphans at the
asylum probably j was. Every Christ
mas llichard Whitney had been in the
habit of sendingj a number of small
bottles of cologne to the large brick
house over the way. He did it from
principle, not from any acquaintance
with the children. i
Valentince's evening there was an ex
hibition given at the asylum. Richard
Whitney went. "Such a kind gentle
man," said tho matron; "he spoke to
every child." I
Then the public school examinations
took place. Richard Whitney attended
them all.
He became a Sunday school superin
tendent; next, he got his sister to give a
little girl's party.
"Mr. Whitney has grown awful fond
of children all of a sudden," said the
head clerk to the second clerk. Ah, but
no one knew he was listening for the
voice of bis Valentino. The apothecary
and Ida's papa were old friends; of late
years they had seldom met, but'hese
last months of Mr. Hammond's illness
had brought them together again. Ida
was a sly child and kept out of the way
of visitors. Tho apothecary was not
aware that he had ever seen her.
One April afternoon he met a womnly
little giri coming down stairs with a tray
in her hand. "Miss Ida, I suppose," he
said, passing her. I Ida nodded gravely,
and as Richard Whitney looked over the
balustrade he thought, "What a lonely
life for a child! I wonder if she gets out
much. I will give her a drive to-morrow."
Mr. Hammond was very weak that
night, and when Richard Whitney, bend
ing over him, asked: "John, will you
trust your little gill to me?" the only
reply was a tighter clasp of the hand.
Early next morning Sam Jones lef t a
parcel of gum-drops aud a note for Miss
Ida Hammond. Presently the telephone
bell rang, and the head clerk said again:
"A lady wishes to speak to you."
The message was simply this: "Thank
you very much; I oaunot go papa is
worse."
Richard Whitney started. It was tho
voice he had waited so long to hear.
"Why, it's Hammond's little girl," he
said, hurrving down the street. "Poor
child!" I
Papa died a few hours later, leaving
his little daughter in tho care of his old
friend: and now, every day, a child in a
black dress comes iuto the shop, to walk
home with uncle Richard.
"Wonder why he calls her Valentine;
thought her name was Ida," said the
head clerk.
"Perhaps Valentino is her middle
name," suggested Sam Jones.
"That must be ii," said the head clerk;
"yes; that certainlyj must be the reason."

A Practical Minister.
The pastor of St. Chrysostom's church,
Philadelphia, has hit upon a plan for de
tecting unworthy persons soliciting alms
at his door, and for the nearly two years
it has been in operation but one in
dividual has circumvented him. The
pastor accepted the request of the So
ciety for Organizing Charity to make in
quiry into the needs of applicants for
"alms, and he set about his work in this
manner: He obtained a freshly-coined
silver dollar, and to all persons who ap
plied to him for assistance he held the
shining coin before them and said it
would be theirs if they would remove a
cartload of gravel that had been dumped
in the ministerial back yard. An hour
would have suiliced to perform the work,
but the applicants were unable to find a
spare hour in which to remove the ob
struction. The first case was a man on
his way to Baltimore, who wanted ouly
a b'ttle more to aid him. The minister
produced his dollar; and the traveler's
eye brightened as he spied the shining
silver. , i
"Here, sir, is a 'dollar;" but holding
on to it, he added: j
"You are a- strong man, and honor- j
able, and you would rather work for it, !
would you not?" !
"Indeed I would,'' was the response. J
"I have a load of gravel which I would
like to have removed; it will take vou au
hour. I will give you this."
The traveler left to change his clothe.,
and, not finding them, he never returned.
The next was a man; who had nothing to
eatfor two days. He had a dinner given
.to him, and then wanted a little money
for his sick wife. The bright dollar-was
produced, and many blessings were in
voked as it met the gaze of the poor man.
The gravel heap was delicately hinted at
and the man started immediately for his
tools; but a spade was offered on the
spot. Then he suddenly remembered
his sick wife, who needed his attention,
and that man f failed: to reappear. This
course was continued for nearly twenty
months, and in that time 113 persons
were relieved in the manner described.
The one hundred and fourteenth custo
mer was a match for tho minister, and
put a stop to that system of outdoor re
lief. The mrn had noticed that the dirt
heap had been nearly leveled with the
ground in the course of time; so, on ac
cepting tho offer, j bo merely kicked
about the heap for a fotv minutes, and
the obstruction was removed to the satis
faction of the minister, who paid the
dollar to the witty knave.

A Model Report! of a Hanging.
"Ivison Slade, colored, was hahged at
noon to-day tor the murder of Dora
White, his sister in-law, last June, for
creating trouble between him and his
wife. Last night he made an unsuccess
ful attempt to kill his death watch. He
was firm on the scaffold. lie dropped
five feet. The gallows was in a valley
near town. An immense crowd was
present, many coming from South Caro
lina and Virgina. Some came fifty miles.
They camped all night. The piocessiou
to the gallows was a solemn scene.
Slade confessed his crime. He died
witli a few convulsions." For a report
of the hanging there is some business
like etylo about the above. No blubber
ing, no monkeying, no dull thud. All
neat and sweet and prompt, and tho
2Iatform cleared for the next candidate.
