BY MARY K. BUAULEY.

Ofall the bonny buds that blow- -

in nrigiit or cloudy weather,Ofall the flowers that come and go

The whole twelve mouths together,This little purple pansy bringsThoughts of the sweetest, saddest things,

I had a little lover once.Who used to give me posies;

nis eyes were blue as hyacinths,His lips were red as roses.

And everybody loved to praiseHis pretty looks and winsome ways.

The girls that went to school with meMade little jealous speeches.

Because he brought me loyallyHis biggest plums and peaches,

And always at the door would waitTo carry home my books and slate.

'They couldn't sec' with pout and fling"iue migniy fascination

About that little snuh-nose- d thingTo win such admiration;

As if there weren't a dozen girlsWith nicer eyes and longer curls!"

And this I knew as well as they,And never could see clearly

Why more than Marion or MayI should be loved so dearly."

So once I asked him why was this?He only answered with a kiss.

Until I teased him me why1 want to know the reason;"

When from the garden bed close by(The p.iiisies were in season )

He plucked and gave a flower to me,w iiu sw cli auu simple gra uy.

"The garden is in bloom," he said.With lilies pale and slender,

With roses and verbenas red,And fiisehia's purple splendor,

Rut over and aboe the rest,This little heart's ease suits me best."

"Am I your little heart-eas- e then?''1 asked with blushing pleasure;

He answered yesl and yes againHeart's-eas- e and dearest treasure;

That the round world and all the seaHeld nothing half so sweet as me!

I listened with proud delightToo rare for words to capture,

Nor ever dreamed what sudden blijWould come to chill my rapture.

Could I force the tender'bloouiOf pansies round a little tomb?

ht

Life holds some stern experience,As most of us discover,

And I've had other losses sinceI lost my little lover;

Rut still the purple pansy bringsThoughts of the addct,s"weetest things.

POOSC .3 3.11.11 Y.

One morning I was walking downC street, which At thut hour v;isfull of liiicly-iii'css- m Indies andbright litlie children, when I cameupon so u oful a sight that I sloppedas though 1 was El ruck. A poor,Utile, white-face- d hoy, with a de-formed hack.no taller "than a healthychild of five years old, hut lookingmuch older in his pinched and watiface. He was sitting on the harestones, his thin legs drawn up withcold, and a basket, containing hull adozen miserable apples, beside him.He made not the least clTort to at-tract the attention of the gav passers; but his little white hands weremecklj clasped on his knee, and hiseyes fixed on the crowd with a hope-less, staring look, as though hisbcwildeied mind was strugglingwith the problem why so manywere warm, well-fe- d and happy, andhe was so wretched.

'Poor child!' I said, going up tohim : for I could not help it. thoughI have not much sympathy withcommon street beggars. 'Can 1 doanything for you ?'

'You can buy an apple,' he said,quietly, hardly looking at me, thoughhe took up his basket as he spoke.

'You shouldn't sit on the coldstones,' said I. 'It is bad for von.'

'I can't stand up,' he said, siinplv.'Uut it's a shame that you should

be out this cold day, an) wayaidI, warmly.

'You don't look able to sit up.'lie flushed tip. '1 have to. Jo

can't leave the baby, atrd somebodvmust.'

'But where are your parents?Have vou none to care for you, poorchild?'

His dark, sad eyes looked square-ly at me now, and his poor littlemouth quivered, as he replied:

Mo takes care of me. Father andmother are dead. Mrs. "Wilson usedto take care of us, but she's deadtoo.'

'And where do you live?' I asked,for I could not bear the sight of thatunfortunate child, who ought to bein a hospital, instead of sitting onthe cold stones.

He told me where lie lived, and.after giving him some pennies, Iwent directly there. With sonictrouble I found it a wretchedroom, so poor and uncomfortablethat I shall not describe it to you.And I found Jo, a ragged, pleasantfaced girl, about twelve years old,taking loving care of the mostwrcicucit, puny, iretiui uoy youever saw.

From Jo I learned their story.Their parents were respectable,well-to-d- o people, and they had al-

ways lived in comfort till their par-ents died, about three years ago, andleft them a comfortable home andsome other property. The manwho took Care of their property(their guardian) had given theminto the hands of Mrs. Wilson, akind friend, who had taken goodcare of them ; and every few mouths,ou bhiu; jj.r.. wiison uecci to goand get money from the man whohad the house.

But a year ago their kind frienddied, and left them in the hands ofher husband, an idle, drink-lovin- g

man, who cared only for the monev,and nothing for them. He had sofdmost of the furniture, moved theminto this wretched room, threatenedto do something awful to them ifthey complained, and abandonedthem. What they could pick up audwhat had been given to them bykind-hearte- d, though very poorneighbors, was all they had hadsince, uow these many months.

'But who is our guardian?' Iasked. Jo didn't know. She knewneither his name nor how to findhim ; and besidce, she was afraid of

Mr. Wilson. She (Jo) couldn't leavethe ailing baby, who, though threeor four years old, looked not morethan one, and could not stand yet;60 poor, little, deformed Jjmmyhadto sit on the stones to get a fewcents to keep them from starving.

When the bubv slept, Jo wouldsteal out and pick up a few sticks, ifshe could, for a small fire. And shealso had to carry Jimmy back andtorth, for he could walk but a fewsteps at a time.

Oh I what a tale of misery! Whatdid I do? Well, going down thoserickety stairs, I pondered on whatto do; how to find that careless orwicked guardian, and bring him toan account.

I could think of but one way thenewspapers. So I hurried oil to thooffice of a large daily, told my piti-ful story, enlisted the sympathy ofthe kind-heart- ed editor, and the nextpaper brought out the whole story.

An hour or two after the paperwas out, a red-fac- ed honest lookingworkman walked into the office andasked to see the man who wroteabout tho starving children. He wastaken into the editor's room, wherelie announced himself as the guardian of the three children, and saidhe came in to explain.

'I hope you can explain,' said theeditor; 'for I must say it looksstrange, the poor little ones starvingano owning property enough, as Iunderstand, to take care of them.'

' 'Deed, sir, and that's true. It's atidy bit of properly and brinirs inabout five hundred" dollars a vear.I have been paying four hundred ofit to Mrs. Wilson to lake care ofthem, and the other hundred I putin the haul: for them, against thevwere old enough to need schooling,as was their fathers wish. Mr.Wilson has come regularly for themoney, and of course I thought thevwere all right, as usual.'

'But it was very careless of you !''I know il,' he interrupted. 'But

Mrs. Wilson was a mother to them ;and I'm so busy a carpenter I am

and never get a minute to lookafter them. I never knew Mrs.Wilson was dead. That idle bruteof a man, I suppose, didn't tell me,lest I should take the children away

-- -as, of course, I shall to-da-

'Where shall you put thciii?" ask-ed the editor. 'That baby needs adoctor's care, besides irood food anilnursing, and the boy, too if, indeedit is not too late.

'I in monstrous sorry, Mister,' saidthe honest carpenter, "his face grow-ing even redder, in his excitement.I wouldn't a had John Walker's

babies suffered for anything. It'smy fault, and I know it. I was tooeasy, like. But I'm going noAv totake them to my own house, thoughit's full and running over, till I canfind the right place for them.'

'Don't keep the poor things longin a house full of children,' said theeditor at the door. They're tooweak and miserable.'

-- o, i wont,' said (lie carpenter.'My old woman wouldn't favor thatplan a minute.'

Well, the next day I hunted upthose starving babies again ; andwhere do you suppose I found them ?The conscience-stricke- n guardianhad found a colored woman whohad been a house-servan- t, all herlife, and who was a born nurse, be-sides being a warm-hearte- d woman.The four hundred a year was a for-tune to her. and there in two nle.'is- -ant rooms near the guardian's ownhouse, where he could always see tothem, I found the children comfort-ably established. Jinimv lay smiling happily on a Jit tic bed in thocorner; the hungry baby, well fed.for once, was sleeping quietly in acradle; and Jo, in a new "calicodress, helping the pleasant-face- d oldAunty to spread an abundant,though plain meal.

I wish you could have seen Jim-my's face when I gave him the flow-ers I had brought him, and told himI hoped I should never sen him lifting on tlic bare stones again.

'But I'm right glad vou did thattime for if it hadn't been for vouand thai editor man, I'd a been thereyd. Oliver Thome.

Tlie Origin ol' Sc.Xf:s.

Aristophanes, the funny man ofclassic Greece, gives the followingmyth- - Once upon a time man hadthree sexes and a double nature be-side this, he was perfect I v round.and had four hands and four feet,one head with two faces lookingopposite ways, bet on a single neck.When these creatures pleased, theycould walk as wc do now, but ilthey wanted to go faster they wouldroll over with ull four legs in theair, like a tumbler turning somer-saults; and their pride and strengthwere such that thev made war tinonthe gods. Jupiter resented theirinsolence, but hardly liked to killthem with thunderbolts, as the godswould then lose their sacrifices. Atlast he hit upon a plan. "I will cutthem in two," he said, "so that theywill walk on two legs instead offour. They will then only be halfas insolent, but twice as numerous,and we shall get twice as tinny sac-rifices." This was done, and thetwo halves are continually goingabout looking for one another. Ifwe mortals (says Aristophanes, witha comic air of apprehension) are notobedient to the gods, there is a dan-ger that wc shall be split up again,and shall have to go about in bisso-rcliev-e,

like those figures with onlvhalf a nose, which you may seesculptured on our columns.

The great demand of the timesappears to be a girl who can saw

Among the curiosities of litera-ture, the anachronisms of Slinks- -peat e form an interesting feature.In "Troilus and Ciessida," the sceneof which is laid at thesiegcof Troy,about 118-- 1 B.

Cato was born about-20- 0years after the death of Coriolanus,which occurred about 490 B. C.Menenius Agrippa, in the sameplay, refers to Alexander the Greatand Galen, the former of whom wasborn 35G B.

eusc.The passions which act most se-

verely on physical life are anger,fear, hatred, aud grief. The otherpassions arc comparatively inno-cent. What is called the passionof love is not injurious until itlapses into grief aud anxiety; onthe contrary, it sustains the physicalpower. What is called ambition isof itself blameless; for ambition,when it exists purely, is a nobilitylifting its owner entirely from him-self into the exalted service ofmankind. It is injurious when it isdebased by its meaner all, pride,or when stimulating a man to stren-uous efforts after some great object,it leads him to the performance ofexcessive mental or uhvsical labor.

L aud to the consequences that followsuch effort.

The passion called avarice, ac-cording to general experience, tendsrather to the preservation of Jhebody than to its deterioration. Theavaricious man, who seems to theluxurious world to be debarringhimself of all thfc pleasures of theworld, and to bo exposing himselfto the fangs of poverty, is generallyplacing himself in the piccisu con-ditions favorable to a long andheilthy existence. By his economyhe is saving himself from all theworry incident to neuiirv: bv hiscaution he is screening himself fromall the risks incident to speculationor the attempt to ama?s wealth byhazardous means; by his regularityof hours and perfect appropriationof the sunlight, in preference toartificial illumination, he rests andworks in periods that precisely ac-cord with thepcriodiitcy of nature;by his abslcmiousnes-- i in living, hetakes just enough to live, which isprecisely the thing to do accordingto the natural law. Thus, in ahnostevery particular he goes on his wayfreer than other men Irom the eter-nal causes ofall the induced disease,and better protected than most menfrom the worst consequences ofthose diseases which spring fromuncontrollable causes.

His wife followedhim across at a slow pace, and wit-nessing his devotion to the stranger,she got mad and shook her fist athim. "It's all right it's all right,"he whispered. "Yes, I know it is,"she hotly exclaimed ; "here an un-known woman stubs her toe andyou plough across the street to eather up with kindness.

"The autumn trade is now in fullactivity, and business men are ex-erting every ellbrt to improve thoharvest. One method is tho hand-bill system, by which the hotels aredaily inundated. During tho busi-ness season one boy after anotherwill go tho rounds, and in this wayattempt is mado to obtain trade.Of these, however, tho greater partarc wasted, since the waiter gener-ally picks them up and throws tlicminto the street, and the next dav afresh iiiuudatiuu takes place. Ex-perience has clearly demonstratedthat the most efficient method ofadvertising is found in the judicioususe of the newspaper columns. Thoground on which newspaper advertising, as a system, i9 bused is humanconfidence, since wo cannot avoidbelieving that which wc constantlyread. This confidence is sometimesabused, but still it is evident that agood advertisement will, if suff-iciently repeated, carry popularopinion. Men who advertise withthe greatest persistency eventuallyreach success. There is a militaryprinciple involved in this method",since the article advertised shouldbe piesscd on the publiirby repeat-ed assaults. The cortect view,which experience brings to eachman, is that advertising should beincluded in the geneialtestimate ofexpense, as regularly as store rent,clerk hire and insurance.

The Tramp.The only remedy for the (ramp is

to abolish him utterly and forever;ami this cuu be easily done. Thetramp is a person who roam fromtown to town, Slate to State, beg-ging, stealing, robbing, assaultingwomen and children in Ihe woodsand fields, and on unfrequentedhigh wins. Wc aro informed thatIheie is not a tramp at present inthe State of Xew Hampshire. Alittle more than a year ago the Statewas overrun with them, so that itwas nut safe for a woman to goalone anywhere in the woods orfields. A short and summary lawpnssed last winter by the Legisla-ture effected all lliis change. It isin substance thisr Any tramp whobegs is arrested ; if he is not a nativeof the State, he is sent to the Stateprison for three years; if he is aresident of the State he is sent tothe town where ho holum's? n reward of foO is given fur the arrestand conviction of a tramp. Thishas done the business. Tramping,as a prolcssion, has ceased in XewHampshire. It is an equal and justlaw. W enacted in every Stale,tramping would be at end. Everytown would then be obliged to lookafter its own poor and its ownscoundrels, as it should do.
