)l was so perfurUy natural that Trevor

Dotliing was too good, too expensive for lo r,
and to see her ryes light up St sight of him,
to watch her resolute efforts to hide from him
the lovu for him that was growing Willi every
day was the keenest pleasure that had couje to
liim fur many tear.
1'or she loved hliu.
IJuw could It have been ollierwito J
lie was i be man above all olhets to com
mand her, rb.ips the only master hey heart
would cvur Lave known.
So i much was crowded into thi)l little ten
days' lime, and altljougli 7'revnr Clyde had by
some unaccountable powr quite uslgnlsliingly
strange to himself refrained from a dlrict
srowil of his iiasslon for her, yet they bulb
understood It as well as though the must ex

doub'ed him.
Nor did 7'rcvor Clyde doubt himself that he
would return.
M,ss le Breton hod telegraphed him that bo
must come, or one of her entertainments
would fall flat.
And Just a littlo ashamed of having buried

All bis life the way bad boen made smooth

llut now he realized there must be a decis

other woman ever hail, or ever would, and the
city lady who would do such royal honor to
his ii one, his taste, w ho would queen it In so

to do.
Uul which.
Amid nil tin) rapturous welcomes that
greeted ills return, that niinstlou, stern,

And so Hie days went on, and still iim.'e

asked him if he wouldn't sit down,
and he said he couldn't very well, as
his bark wan lame. He seemed dis-

him what was the matter.
"Well," k.iid he, ''there is no encouiw

Hullo, pa, what ate you doing

I went down tttrcct, and pretty soon I
went up on the coiner, ami he waa

four corners. I asked him it he hadn't

ONE OF THOSE AWFUL CHILDREN.
Boston Oazetto.
One day I sat in a car seat on the
Paugns branch of tho eastern road be
hind a pale, oare-worn lady who was
taking a ijttlo boy from lloston to
Maiden. As the littlo boy was of a
very inqnirinir mind, and everything
seemed to attract his attention, I could
not help Imteuing to some of his ques
linns,
W hat is that, auntie ? the littlo boy
cointnciiced, pointing lo a slack of hay
on the marsh.
t h, that's hay, dear, answered the
care worn lady.
hat is liny, auntie 7
Why, hay is hay, dear.
I Jut what is hay made of ?
Why, hay is made out of dirt and
water and air.
Who nmkes it?
God makes it, dear.
Does he make it in tho day titnp or in
the night ?
I u built, dear.
And Sundays?
Yes, all the time.
Ain't it wicked to make hay on Sun
day, auntie?
O, I don t know. I'd keep still.
Willie, that's a dear. Auntie is tired.
Viid after remaining quiet a moment
little Willie broke out :
Where do stars come from, auntie?
I don't know; nobody knows,
l'id ihti moon lay 'cm?
Yes, I ucm so, replied the wicked
lady.
Can tho moon lay oggs, too?
1 suppose so. Don't bother tne !
A short silence, when Willio broKe
out ugatn:
Pienny says osiiis is a owl, auntie;
is they?
Oh, perhaps so 1
I thins a whale could lay eggs
don't you, tiuulie ?
Oil, yes; I guess so, said the shame
less woman.
J)id you ever upp a whale on his
nest?
Oh, I tie.s so.

WIPE MY TEARS,
She was nothing but a bahy, a little, quaint
1 l-fasbloned thing, with tumbled locks of
sunny hair and Jeep, i ultu! blue eyes tht
were always full ot clouds or sunshine, oi e
following the oilier In rapid succession. Duly a
baby, toddling about after her weaiy mo liei,
falling down and hurting hcrsalf a dozen times
a dsv, and going jast as often to held up a
s cct Dower face all wet and dewy, with the
lisped icqiiest: "I'lessn, miiiouia, wipe my
trais," or to oiber members of the family In a
more dictatorial and peremptory voiee,"1Vipo

not attempt In brush awny the tears heitolf,
Slid sometimes we laughed to see the shut
eyes and tightly drawn features, bathed In s
liquid shower; sometimes there wss a pitiful
accent In that little household wail that made
our heai Is ache, but o. lener va talked non
sense as wo w iped away the pretty drops fiom
Ihe lonif cuiled lashes, Ihe dainty cheeks, tho
small, quivering chin, and wo drew Kay pic
tures of the baby going about with teai-bot
ties huii sroung her neck, and crooned her tu
sleep with an Idle repetition of Tennyson;
Tears, idle tears, I know not what they iiieaii,
And we wondered among1 ourselves what she
would do as alio Riew older and learned to
know real sorrow, and it Ihere would always
be somo diar one m-ar lo wipe away the ready

And (iod himself hhatl wipe away all tears.
We had never thought of Him, olid aliens
still only a baby, a sweet, winsome little thing
that we thought we had safe in eur hearts
under lock and key, with love for the keeper,
when all at once her tears were dried and ours
began to flow, fur ve all sluol beside her, and
she knew us, uor wna Insensible to her
inoibei's voice, to tears and prayers. V'bere
was a short, sharp struggle with the destroyer,
hours of ins inability ever) to pain, and then for
A moment the baby woke and knew us, and as
she fell llio l.,st pantjs of dissolution, her dear
little face kuottud and seamed with llio deadly
p il ii, she put one liny, trembling band up tu
her mother and said in a whisper, 11, s old,
quaint words: " W-l p e-m y-t-c-a-r s." Then
a sweet, clad smile followed, and she was 'oiie
where there shall bo uo more death, neither
sorrow nor ciyii');, and (iod shall wipe away
nil tears fiom their vyet.lktrvU Fretl.cat.
