Yet barbed with shame and woe. Ah! Might It only perish there. Nor farther go! But. nol A quick and eager ear Caught P the little meaning sound. Another voice has breathed it clear. And so It wandered round From ear to lip, from Up to ear. That throbbed from all the world apart. ! until It reached a gentle heart And that it broke! Frances Sargent Osgood. A Remarkable Baby.

Speaking of thy philosophical temper, there Is no class of meu whose society is more to be desired for this quality than that of plumbers. They are the most agreeable men I know, and the boys in the business begin to be agree able, very early. In the dryest summer days my garden fountain became dis abled. The jiipe was stopped up. A couple of plumbers, with, the imple ments of their craft, came out to view the situation. There was a good deal of difference of opinion about where; the stoppage was. . I found the plum bers perfectly willing to sit down and talk about It talk by the hour. The-; work dragged a little, aa it is apt to do by the hour. Sometimes they- would And upon arrival that they had forgot ten some Indispensable tool, and one would go back to the shop, a mile and, a half, after It, and bis compaL.'oo would await his return with the most exemplary patience and sit down and talk always by the hour. I do not know but It Is a habit to hare some thing wanted at the shop. They seem-, ed to me very good workmen and al ways willing to stop and talk about the Job or anything else when I went near them. Two of them will sometimes wait nearly half a day wnlle a com rade goes for a tool. I think they have very nearly solved the problem of life. It Is to work for other people, never for yourself, and get your pay by the hour. You then have no anxiety and little work. Working by the hour tends to make one moral. I never beard a plumber swear or exhibit the feast Impatience at any small vexation, working by the hour. Nothing can move a man who Is paid by the hour, flow sweet the flight of time seems to bis calm mind! Charles Dudley War tier. . Indignation Unexpressed. A letter dictated by an old gentle- mal thus: "slr mT stenographer. being a may, cannot tane aown wnai i think of you. I, being a gentleman, cannot express It, but you, being nei ther, can readily divine It." Lamb With Mint Sauca. "I was walking down an English lane with nn English girl on an Au gust afternoon," said Richard Le Galll- eiine. "The sun shone through a soft hazo, and In the green fields many white lnnilw played.

A drummer stopped at a hotel In Miuitpellcr, Vt., when the legislature was In session. It was the headquar ters of many legislators. At the supper table they began to call upon each other to pass the food i:i thh wiso: "Will the man from Brad- l't.rd p'.oai o puss tin rolls?" "Will the ! '(:i!!'ti:in fro!!! Ks--ox pass the pie?"
