ROMANCE.
Before than diest I shall die,
For in my heart I bear,
Bleeding to death, the cruel iteel
Thy hand hath planted there.
Before thou diest I shall die,
But faithful still shall be,
For seated at the gate of death.
My soul will wait for thee.
Day after day, year after year,
Until thy lite be past.
And at that portal thou shall knock
Where all must knock at last I
Then, when the earth Is lying soft
On thee thy lips and eyes,
When plnnged in death's baptismal stream
Washed pure, thou shall rise.
There, where the tumult of mankind
Is heard and and seen no more
Gene, Use the wind that raised the wave,
The tpent ware on the shore.
There, where to live is not to die,
To lore is not to fear
We shall know all; for we shall speak
a ii that wa anaka not here!
Richard Henry Stoddard, in The Manhattan.
HOW THE KIStt CAME.
; "Baby, the king is coming." Over
and over again the mother whispers the
words to the atom of humanity lying
nnnn her breast: iovfully. ffladly, with
lips that have grown fixed, and drawn,
and white with a surcease of joyous
snflech. Not lonsr ago. as men count
veara. thev had known smiles, and gay,
girlish laughter.but it is truly said," We
count time by . heart throbs;" and the
Tath between ' that time and now has
been a steep and thorny one.
Hers was a peculiarly happy girlhood
She was an only child, with every wish
crratifled. and an adoring circle of
friends to whom her word was law.
What wonder that having reigned queen
of hearts so long, the love and home
that Kingsley Hapgood offered her came
but as added loyalty and territory?
She did not think or mean it so. It is
not by arbitrary rule that women
"aueen"it over their little social circles,
here in republican America. As Judge
Allen's daughter, the position was al
ready won : and it was held by winsome
grace, womanly tact, and supreme self-
poise.
I know that according to all time hon
ored trecedents the wedding should be
the grand climax after trials, tribula
tions, and misunderstandings innumera
ble. I sometimes wonder how the aver
age short-story writer dares reveal to us
the denth. length and breadth of fos
tered ill-temper and angularities of dis
position ; alternating from the slough of
despond to the seventh heaven of bliss,
with a celerity fearful to contemplate;
and then leaving us wide eyed and in
credulous at the church door, with the
questionable assurance that from hence
forth they "lived in peace, and died in
Greece." as we used to end the dear old
fairy tales when we were children.
Fairy tales came into my life some time
before my geographical era, and to my
childish imagination this was represent
ed as a large kettle somewhat resembling
the one in which my mother fried the
delectable doughnuts into which all
good and happy fairies went when they
died.
With all due respect for the import
ance and necessity of the engaged period,
the step out from its idyllic dream-life
leads over the threshold into a country
vastly differing from the luxurious land
of Ureece. i5eyond tne portal lies a
wider sphere of action, beset with many
a snare, and often leading directly into
that kettle of boiling "grease my child
ish thought depicted. If my story seems
to be oommenced at the wrong end,!have
natiAnca. kind reader. I niav be able to
show yon only the broken, tangled ends
of the threads, but somewhere from the
beginning, they all lie straight in God's
sight. '

These two of whom I write went out
from under her father's roof, in faith be

exaltation of spirit would endure through
many a year of weal and woe. As she
was queen, so he in very truth was king.
not alone in the attributes of his nature,
bat also bv the name his mother gave
him her own maiden name dropping
the last syllable.
Proud was the wife of the command
ing presence of her "liege," and in mu
tual love and admiration the first few
months passed quickly. Into this Eden
crept by slow degrees tne serpent 01 dis
cord. Trifles light as air some small
neglect a careless word the flash of
overcharged domestic atmosphere.
These were followed by reproaches, and
the keen resentment of royalty against
aught but unquestioned obedience.
What need to rehearse too minutely the
drama we see enacted about us every
day? It is a sad ojd story, common but
never so common as to lose its tragical
pathos for those who watched the glad
some launching of the ship, as it sailed
out of the harbor home, to meet with
storm and shipwreck oa the rocks of
pride and that high spirit which will
never confess a fault, or admit an error
of judgment. It forgets, as we do some
times, that the true height nearest to
heaven is reached by lowliest pathos of
humility and self-sacrifioe.
Scarcely toree years have gone. The
first was flooded with sunshine, but later
on, stormy passions had so shut away the
blessed sun that it was no strange or new
thing for him to leave her in anger.
There were occasional rifts,- bnt nothing
propagates like grievances, and there was

uo Boua iounaauon oi mutual ior clear
ance to rest upon. Each was tearing
away by petty aggravations the sheet
anchor of affection that once and truly
they had deemed sufficient for all
coming time.
Should some young ardent soul, just
plumed for flight into this new world of
union, chance to read these words, do
not mistake me. . Love is indeed the cen
tral figure. Marriage without it is a
desert waste worse, a howling wilder
ness, sure death to all our noblest pow
ers and purposes. "Bear and forbear,"
are two lions that must guard the gate
way. Firm Christian principles and
(altough a woman says it) the power so
few of us possess, of silence. Not the
sullen silence that refuses speech, while
diffusing displeasure and "Yankee
spunk" from every pore. Not the silence
of the wife beaten and abused by a brutal
husband. God only knmr3 the myriads
of these in wretched h uss, where the
fiend of intemperance rideirampant.who
never speak, and who go down to silent
graves in voiceless misery, I donofc
speak to these, but to those who, with
the average man (our brothers, born
too of woman, with the same impulsive
natures as our own) would Keep the
love and early freshness of their homes
unsullied. Dear girls, in your hand 3 are
the homes of the future. Remember
that to bear is better than to repent, but
if the quick, impatient word be uttered,
"Let not the sun go down upon your
wrath."
These frequent domestic quarrels jar-
ing with increasing force against a na
ture like King Hapgood's, could end but
in one way. The loss of self-respect, at
tendant upon the knowledge of growing
irritability, became unendurable. His
business trips became more frequent and
oi longer aurauon. uoe ungui autumn
day comes the news that he has gone'
abroad. Every one goes in these days. It
passes without comment. xnis is u j
ordinary case oi ill-treatment ana deser
tion for the divorce courts. None but
the wife knows of the letter stating that
the house, and a liberal annual allow
ance, are left at her disposal, and closing
with the cruel words: ".fast events, oi
which it is useless to speak further, have
convinced me thajb our marriage was a
mistake, which only time and separation
can make tolerable. There seems to be
no occasion for ostensibly breaking the
tie that binds us in name alone. It will
be virtually broken by my departure for
Europe at an early date."
Not one short syllable of regret or com
fort can she find as in her stunned, half-
crazed condition she reads it again and
again. She has told him often that she
was miserable, and wished herself back
in her father's house.
In a blind fit of rage she wished that
they bad never met, and his cold, sar
castic reply. "Here we meet on mutual
ground, madam," had only lashed the
waves to greater fnry. But in her wild
est, most passionate moment she had
never dreamed of this these hideous
words that mocked her, thrusting the
thing she wished for in her face.
"A gauntlet with a gut in't."
The ample provision was an added bit
terness. Bather would she leave all, and
seek her father's house, or beg her bread
from door to door, than take a penny of
it. but for one thing. The thing he did
not know that she had longed to tell
him, but angry, sharp-edged words had
thrust it back, and bow into the shame
and misery of a divided house was
coming the new life, that should have
crowned and blessed the whole.
Her first wild, woman's impulse was
to follow him. and at his feet pour out
the whole, and beg him to come back.
"Only time and separation can make
tolerable." There was no love in the
words. He would not come, and if he
did, each word and act would be a lordly
concession. That she could not endure,
and it would be but a repetition of the
old grievances.
No echo of ber sorrow reached him
She did not call him back. .Lethean
balm sought in the whirpool of social
gayety would have developed the hard,
defiant side of her nature, capable of
much for good or evil. God did not
mean it so. His arms were round about
her. and in those lonely hours of en
forced quiet that followed, there came a
clear vision of opportunities wronged
and neglected. The love that had been
crowded out and trampled upon came
back in tidal waves, beating down the
barrierB, "crushing the serpent's head,"
in those days of pain and weakness after
the baby came. Then one little message
went across the sea. "Jving, dear, for
give; we want you, Baby and I."
His was a Blow, white anger that burns
long and deep; but he, too, hd found
much time and food for reflection. Men
tally comparing many a famous foreign
beauty with his queenly wife, lie found
none fairer than the woman he had left
so cruelly. Scenes grow clearer viewed
from a distance. Oil paintings and our
lives have that in common. But she had
accepted the situation without a word, no
doubt glad of the release, and he was
not the man to retract. So he quieted
his conscience in its moments oi uneasy-
ness.
There was something lacking in the
beautiful places he visited, however.
Recollections of expeditions glayly
planned in those first halcyon days,when
there was not quite monev enough to
go, but it was "so nice to talk about,"
would intrude upon bis pleasure trips in
a manner quite unforseen when he had
Battel away. The hard crust of pride
and anger became worn a little by the
constant recurrence of such painful
thoughts.
"King, dear, forgive; wo want you,
baby and I."
Not long or learned, but nice with the
wisdom love teaches.
"Forgive 1" what was there to forgive?
Had not the wrong been his all his? A
father! and all these weary months he
who had vowed to cherish and protect
her had left her therein doubt.and pain,
loneliness, to bear alone 1 People gaged,
thinking the man insane who dashed
past them in the streets, 8 a his thoughts,
like winged arrows, urged him on.
Childish, fitful April has just glided
over the threshold to maiden May, and
the baby life, coming with the early
breath of spring freshness, seems like
some shrinking anemone, across which
the breeze from a belated snowbank
blows, with death in its chill touch.
There is a strange, haunting look in her
dark eyes, mirroring dark despairing
moods of the mother's, to those who
read between the lines.
Some babies come into the world to
stay. Dear little red, screaming mites,
doubling up their tiny fists, they assert
their rights at the top of their lungs,
evincing their determination to live and
thrive, in defiance of death and doctors.
This is not one of these. She seems too
frail for mortal touch, and the mother
watches over ber darling's slumbers, half
fearing that the angels who must miss
her so have borne their sister home and
left her desolate.
Who, after a winter of doubt and dis
couragement, has not looked forward to
approaching spring with strange, new
hope? Who has not felt sure some rare
gift waits behind this marvellous unfold
ing of nature's lavish treasures? Bless
ings uncounted during the dark, sealed
days, now show us new faces, and we
find within our grasp, mayhap, the very
key for which we sighed so long through
wintry storms, and knew it not till
Mother Nature, with her magic touch,
threw wide her door, and we beheld in
the transfigured light our own flowers
blooming, and the fountains of our
heat ts unsealed.
"Spring poets" revel, and the editors
alone are sorrowful and heavy laden.
A soiled foreign letter reaches the
quiet room across the ocean.. Dearer a
thousand times its words than ever 'had
been word or thought before, and the
fullness of joy is whisperedjto the baby.
"Baby, baby, sweet, the king is coming!
With June will come all summer bloom.
Hark! hear the soft, low whispers of the
wind, with hints of summer's sultry
breath in their soft touch. The trees
are whispering of the coming glory old,
old as creation, yet ever to be wrought
anew. A thousand ships sail out on
sunny seas, and one will bear the king.
Baby, the king, our king is coming! '
And then the mother-heart is wrung
with apprehension lest the deep, sad eyes
shall close forever before the king can
come.
He comes at last, and with clasped
hands they stand together by the cradle.
Gsntly the mother lifts her in her arms
and softly cries "Baby our king has
eome." Mystic and deep with unfath-
omaoie mystery are tne eyes that open
i thus to greet the father. Slowly the
white Hda are uplifted, and In their
grave and tender depths they read bright
oroDhecies. Serene and sweet are they. I
lit by no gleam of wonder at the coming
in of royalty. Long ago in orient lands
knelt kings to worship
"Ooe who In a manger lay,
let migaliest was of all."
And to each babe is given some living
spark of that divine ruling power to lead
us all, king, court and vassal, t J pure
worship of Christ childness in every
dawning infant soul God sends us.
Bright with the coming glory of the an
gel-land, there shines the first glad look
of earth-life. Gaze long and deep, for
now the lids are slowly, slowly falling.
Angels are beckoning, and with one low
sigh the soul has gone to meet that higher
king and universal Father who hath tru
ly said, "A little child shall lead them."
Holier and purer than love of any liv
ing child is this fond memory that binds
their hearts the closer. I see, years
hence, aroand their hearthstone clus
tered sons and daughters. Trial and loss
have touched and chastened them to
gether. Bad pascions allowed and fostered are
not easily curbed or eradicated, but be
tween them , these two, can come no
breach wider than that little grave. The
little child, whose mission was so great,
will ever live, as Christ himself has
lived crucified by sin, yet living still in
souls purified and uplifted; in ministry
to Him, in sacrifice and abnegation,
which alone can bring us out of troubled
seas to His safe harbor peace and rest
beyond. Boston Woman's Journal.
In a Sleeper.
One of the most difficult things in this
world, nexUto swimming the whirlpool
of Niagara, is to get into the upper berth
of a sleeping car, says the traveling man
of Texas Sif tings. It is a dangerous
feat, as well as embarrassing. The up
per berth of a sleeping car is as unpopu
lar as a green watermelon. The time
worn saying that nothing comes by
chance is a misnomer. In attempting to
storm the battlements of an upper berth
it is a grave chance if you ever succeed
in forcing an entrance. Upper berths
are very good openings for gynasts and
sailors. They afford rare opportunities
lor them to show oil. it is a moving
and Enacting sight to see the fat and
habitually dignified head of a famih
laboriously aoquire possession of an up
per berth. The trouble usually begins
by the old gentleman expostulating with
the conductor for putting him so high
up, and he begs that gilt-edged official
to try and make a trade with some small
sized man who can easily climb up the
side of the car and crawl inside with little
or no .difficulty. The commanding offi
cer oi the quarter decK says he will see
what be can do about it, and then he
wanders off into the blue regions of the
smoking car and shakes dice with the
train boy for a cigar. Meanwhile the fat
man waits and perspires and fumes and
curaes all the officials of the road, from
the president down to the section bosses.
When the conductor saunters leisurely
back, he tells the fat man that nothiog
can be done; no one, he says, will ex
change a lower birth Xor an upper no,
not even if the fat man will give some
thing to not.
That is just the way in this world, as
soon as anybody wants anything it im
mediately becomes valuable. Then the
dignified fat man glares at the other pas
sengers and waits until they have all re
tired before he tries to get up into his
berth.
There are several different ways of
forcing an entrance into an upper berth
You can aire the porter for' two bits to
give yon a leg up, but this method is
naDie to attract attention and excite un
generous and sarcastic remarks. The
dignified fat man has a regular circus.
First, swinging himself by the curtain
bar, he tries to go in feet first, but he
can't let go the rail without tumbling
back again into the aisle. The porter
helps him out of this fix, and the fat man
tries a new deal. This time he steps on
the ear of a sleeping beauty in the lower
berth, and the sleeping beauty knocks
the pins out from under him and the fat
man retires to the wash room to bathe his
nose and abuse monopolies and the ac
commodations of the traveling hotel.
Then he gets the porter to bring a
camp-stool; he gets upon it, catches
hold of the brass rod above, and is about
to spring for the berth, when the camp
stool doubles up, and in his efforts to
save himself from coming down with a
"dull thud" he wildly grabs the bell
cord, and stops the train, and the con
ductor comes in and uses language to
him, and the passengers all wak up and
use more language, and the dignified
passenger even wishes he were dead or
that he had more clothes on. Finally he
manages to crawl into the upper berth;
and h9 boils over . with malicious
thoughts for the bankruptcy of the rial
road company. It is a full hour before
he relapses into slumber and then the
horrible suspicion flashes across him
that the berth may become loosened in
some .way from the catch, and spring up
against the ceiling of the oar and
smother him. He sleeps no more till
daylight and then he has to jump out
and dress hurriedly, for the train is run
ning into the city.
The boy in the sleeping car usually
travels with his mother, a pale, care
worn woman who is going somewhere to
meet her husband. He keeps his mother
in a condition of mental dislress all the
time. Ho tampers with the window
hurts his ringers and howls; he swings
between the seats and falls on the back
of his head. He disappears, and when
his mother is about to faint, believing
that he has fallen off the train, he is dis
covered riding on the brake on the
rear platform. When rescued and
back to his mother he yells Vgain.
The boy in the sleeping car does not
know how to modulate his voice. He
talks in a loud key. This is sometimes
very embarrassing when the train stops
embarrassing to the other passengers
but not to the boy. If you ever trav
eled you have met this boy, havn't you?
and he has asked you what various arti
cles of your wearing apparel cost you,
and he has made disinterested attempts
to entertain you by showing you his
bruised thumb, and you have seen him
in the wash room gorging himself with
ice water and tormenting the porter with
questions regarding the distance to the
next station, and you have seen him in
the smoking compartmentimparting fam
ily secrets to a drummer. Certainly
you have seen him and you have heard
him, and you have felt him when he
climbed over your feet and dropped
some of his greasy lunch on your trous
, ers, and you have wished that he was
your boy for just three minutes, that
you might teach him manners; and you
have thought you would like to do it
with a shawl strap with a large buckle
at the end Of it, haven't you?
A good - stretch on the longitudinal
cushioned '. seats of the caboose of a
freight train is many points ahead of the
best upper berth ever invented for a pal
ace sleeping car, and we don't care who
knows it, !

Safe Washing of Windows.
Every lady will welcome the new pat
ent window-washer, which Mrs. James
rf Philadelphia has invented and is now
perfecting, and which promises to be
the desired invention for cleaning the
outer sashes of windows without sitting
out on the sill, at imminent risk of
falling backward into the street. It con
sists of a long, slender handle of wood
and metal, hollow, which is so curved as
to bring a square of rubber directly
against an outer pane of glass. A sponge
is fastened by a rubber band to this
square. The curved handle and the
readily attached sponge, which, with the
firm corners of the ru bber are to do the
cleansing, constitute the real merit of
the invention, as they really are only
like the bent and lengthened arm of the
window washer herself. An attachment
is made to the upper section of the holder
of a rubber sryinge tube, an end of
which is to be dipped into a bucket or
basin, and by a touch will supply to the
sponge all the water that is needed for
the window cleaning, so that it need no
be drawn in again to tho room until the
worn is complete, me inventor is, we
understand, about having the entire im
plement made in papier mache, which is
extremely light, and can be made into a
tube as well as into a wash bann. in
her first completed model the handle
was of ash, a hard wood being necessary
to make the tubing required; and for
window washers who like a stout imple
ment tms does very well, livery ounce
that is taken off a brush handle, however.
is of importance to some people, so that
in either form window washing ought to
be safely and quickly accomplished by
this means. A chamois cloth or any
polisher can be fastened upon the rub
ber back m the same way as the sponge
is. The Household takes especial satis
faction in noting this invention, as the
inventor says it was a hint in its col
umns that first directed her to plan the
article. Mrs. James, at least, has given
an answer to the question, "Why do
not women invent?" The contrivances
for saving trouble in household work are
not all perfected. There is plenty of
room for talent yet. j
