Only tome morning-Klory seeds
I shut within her bund.

Somehow with hers might rise,
And quicken Into life and bloom

It fteemed so far for her to go
Alone, to that itrange place,
Where every thing waa great and grand,
With no lamlllar face.
But if ahe had tbete bloaaoms there
She'd feel at home I knew.
For mund our door they alwaya hung
Their bells of pink and biun.
She loved them so they were the first
We planted when the earne,
A glrlibh bride, to ah ore my home,
My hearth, my heart, my nutne.
And always when I came she stood
To meet me tn the door,
Where morning-glories twined, and threw
Light shadow 1 on tbe floor.
The angeii through these trumpets brigo

She uned to nay, and held tnem up

A FRIENDLY SCHEME.
The Successful Way In Whioo
Erlde Was Won.
I think It's too bad," anid Charlie
Oxford.
What's too bad ?" nsked liia friend,
Joo Waillolch.
Why, that I um no poor mid lmiiiien
to bo In lovo with a rich girl."
Nothing bad about that."
Hut there in, under the circumHtun-
ces. II citlior I were not poor or Alice
not rich, old Mr. Tlmyof would give his
consent."
Why, tlio obstinate old gentleman!
And you can't persuade him, with all
your logic ?"
I'ersuado him ! He won't listen to
me. Why, he angrily ordered me never
to enter his house ugnin 'darken my
doors' wna the exact expression ; but ho
shall not blight her life and mine by his
heartless obstinni y ? Ho shall not 1 I
defy him ! We'll elope !
Hut, I harlle, anld Joe, "It would
be (ar more desirable to marry Alice
with the consent of lior (uther, and if
you will confidingly place your case In
my hands and do just as I tell you,
without asking any questions, I will en-
gnge to have you married to Alleo
Thayer within three months, If desir
able, with tlio unqualified approval of
her father."
Very good then ; I become your
cliont at once. I know you wouldn't
deceive me. Now what shall I do ?"
Well do nothing. (;o about your
usual business and do not go near Mr.
Thayer's house or try to sou Alice clan
destinely. I.onvo all to me. Hut when
you meet tlio old gcntleinun anywhere
merely greet him with lormal and dig
nified politeness and pass on. Then re
port each meeting to mo."
"I will follow your Instructions."
And the two friends parted.
Charlie Oxford, who was a newspaper
rcHrtor, had only lived a year In tho
little Western city of C ; but that
was quite long enough to allow him to
(all in lovo with Alice Thayer, the pet
tiest and best girl in the place, and tho
laughter of a lending nnd wealthy citi
zen.
Joe Wadletgh was a clerk in Mr.
Thayer's business establishment, and a
very shrewd fellow he was.
A week after his conversation with
his Iriend, Charlie Oxford met Mr.
Thayer in the street
Remembering his instructions, he
bowed coldly, when, much to his aston
ishment, the old gentleman smiled and
said "tiood morning," with unmistak
able cheerfulness.
Charlie would have passed ou, but
Mr. Thayer stopped him with :
"Oh, by the way, a word, Mr. Ox-
lord."
'Certainly," replied Charlie, with dig
nity.
The fact is," said Mr. Thayer, "I
tear you think I huveUi-ninb-ntionully
rude towards you. You see, I am nat
ural) impulsive, and had not given the
matter u thought. 1 was not aware of
that is, I wou'-d say," stammered Mr.
Thayer, with the air i( one who nar
rowly escaes saying something acci
dentally which he would not say for
worlds," the fact is, since I have thought
on tho subject, I cor 'hide there Is no
reason why you should not be consid
ered A Iriend of the family. So, forget
the past, call at my house as often ns
you con make It convenient, and you
sha'l alwaya be welcome 1 know you
and Alice are fond of each other, and I
th ink It would not be right forcibly to
separata you.
And the meeting terminated.
That evening he reported all tn Joe.
"It w orks charmingly," wax the brief
comment.
Why, what ran lie working this
great change f" asked Charlie. "Can
be be mad t"
"No -though he may tome day. He
li perfectly aane, and means all be says.
Avail yourself of his present friendli
ness ; go to bis house ; be agreeuble.
though reticent ; marry Alice as soon
as convenient Then I will explain."
It was a very stylish wedding that
took place just (our weeks later. The
ceremony ns performed at the Thayer
mansion, and the elite were present
Everybody was happy, and none ap
peared more so than the bride'a father.
Mr. Thayer remarked, good humor
edly, that he wasn't going to give
bride away for nothing, and he handed
Charlie his check lor r.V.UW. aud cer
tain deeds making him the owner of
handsome residence and other real
tate.
It wna nearly half a year before Brn
Jaraln Thayer began to entertain a faint
glimmering of the fact that It was just
possible for a certain utter to have been
a fabrication.
It was a letter which, about all weeks
before his daughter's marriage, had In
some inscrutable way got mixed with
his own mail matter, and which, al
though it wsj addressed to "Charles
Oxford," he had opened and rodd per-
baps without noticing that It was not
addressed to himself.
Hut even If he had discerned this fact
ho might only hnve been prompted by
n commendable desire to discover some
thing unfavorable In the antecedents or
connections of ono who aspired to his
daughter's hand, and who might be a
mere adventurer. Stray lettoiB often
make such disclosures.
Hut tho letter happened to read as fol

GLADSTONE TALKING.
H. Is th. Moat Faarluatlna Coaveraatlon
Hat in th. World.
There remains to this generation one
talker who may bo likened to Mucnu
lay. I meijn Mr. Gladstone. To write
about a living celebrity us freely us
about ono who already belongs to his
tory Is impossible; it Is equally Impos
sible to give in a few sentences a com
plete account of Mr. Gladstone's char
acteristics us a talker. 1 nume him
not us u type, but us an anti-typo. His
manner belongs to a period that is
past, II that can bo said to belong to
any petiod which Is in fuct entirely in
dividual. If I liken him to Mucuuluy,
It is because he also has in a degree
that habit ol monulogue which Mucuu
luy had, and with him other less lu
mous personages of his time. His talk
Is u stream; a stream like the Oxus in
Arnold's verse:
'Brimming and bright and large "
Nor does anybody, like Horace's rus
tic, wait lor it to Now out; H 1 ustreum
you would like to flow on forover.
Mucuuluy I never heurd; he hud car
ried his talk elsewhither before I camo
to Knglnnd. Mr. Gladstone I huvu
heard often, and if Mucuuluy was ut
ull like him all tho jealous criticism of
his contemporaries who survived him,
and who say he would now be thought
a bore is sheer nonsense. Hut
there must have been points of
contrast between tho methods of
these two gre:'.t talkers not less sharp
than between the men themselves.
Roughly BpeaUing, Mucuuluy passed
his life among books, Mr. Gladstone
has passed his in ulTairs. Man of the
world in one sense he is not; but pre
eminently a man of utTuirs, ul English
affairs, ull his life long engaged in the
transaction ot tho weightiest public
business. His conversation reflects
the hubit of mind which all this con
tinuing experience has formed. No
ono ever lived who knew the political
history ot his own time so well, and
Knglish statesman ever hud so
many Interests outside of statesman
ship, literary, religious and tho rest.
There is no subject on which he will
not talk. Ills memory is the marvel
ol every body who has been his asso
cinle or ucquuintunce. Searcoatoprc
cun be started on which he has not a
store of foots. He takes little thought
of his uudienco or of what may bo
supposed to interest them. His sub
ject Interests him, and it never occurs
to him that it may not Interest others.
And ho is quite right. In his hands,
whatever It may be, it is interesting.
He has been known to discourse to
his neighlMir through the greuter part
of a long dinner on the ductrine of
copyright mid of international copy
right. His neighbor was a beautiful
woman, who cures no more for copy
right than for the Cberokees. Sho
listened to him throughout with un
failing delight.
There was n critical moment In tho
history of Mr. Gladstone's Government
trom IXMO to 1KH4 when tho fute of his
ministry seemed likely to turn on tho
success or failure of the expedition for
tho rescuo of Gordon. He was stay
ing in u house in Scotland It was the
time of the third Midlothian campaign
and grave news had just come from
the Soudan. Whoever listened to him
at dinner would hnvo said that tho
Prime Minister had never heard of tho
Soudan. The nil sunsets of that sum
mer were being discussed and the
scientific guess that they were caused
by the Java earthquake of the year
before. Off went Mr. Gladstone on
earthquakes. Trte Dutch Government
had sent out a commission of Inquiry;
eighteen months hud passed; the coin-
mission had made no report, and Mr.
Gladstone's impatieneo to be in pos
session of the reitort of the commis
sion of the Dutch Government on tho
Java earthquake was uncontrollttble.
He wanted tho facts; he wanted the
theory of this convulsion ol nature; ho
wanted the statistics of tho loss of life
nnd the destruction ol property. They
hud iH'cn promised; they hud not boon
given. Did any Italy know when they
were likely to be given or from what
other sourse they could be obtained?
The cares of an empire sat so lightly
on these Atluntenn shoulders thut for
hnlf an hour this problem of the Java
earthquake entirely possessed his
mind: that, and fbat only, was of eon-
i'ti to him or to thu human ruce in
general. hut choice tiuve you out
to give yourself up to the influence of
an intellect h ct irn:unding. with this
unia.itig power ot hcing totully ab
sorbed in the one subject on which it
Is fixed for the time being? There is
but one word for such talk, the fascin
ation of it is Irresistible. AonrfoM Cor

The Fun of Dictionaries.
There Is no end to the involuntary
humor of dictionaries. The Hostou
(Kngluml) corporation records of l.r7M
contain the entry: "That it dlctlonaryo
shall be bought for the scollers of the
Free Scoole, and the same Itoko to be
tycd In a cheyne. and set upon u desko
in the M'hoolc, w herinnto nay scoller
may have aeeesse as o.-ussion ehaU

urd Hulote's "Alwceilitrium" which
tells us thut a ". is kutryce" "is a ser
pent called the kvnge ol scrpentes,
whoso nature is to ky 11 with hysslngo
only." But even Italley's famous dic
tionary, which Is the foundation of
Johnson's, tells us that the loriot or
golden nurlole Is "a bird that being
looked upon, by one who has the yel
low jaundice, cures the person, and
dies himself." Kdward Phillips, though
a nephew of John Milton, defines In
his dictionary of lti.M a gallon as "a
measure containing two quarts," nnd
again, B quaver is stated to bo "a
measure of time In musick, being the
half of a crotchet, ns a crotchet tho
half ftf a quaver." And Webster, In
4ils first issue, has some furious mis
takes in cricketing terms. The wick
et-keeper, he says, is "a plnyor in
cricket who stands with a bat to pro
tect the wicket from tho ball," and a
long-stop Is "one sent to stop balls
sent a long distance." An anonymous
lexicographer of 16X9 derives hassock

in the blood; it is also supposed that
it Is possible to got a crop of bolls
from one by what is called uuto-inoeu-lation.
Which means that the dis
charge from one boil if curried by
lingers or dressings to u healthy por
tion of the skia, may plant tho seeds
of another one. To avoid this auto
inoculutiou it is well to use the precau
tion of antisepsis, or in short to disin
fect the emanations from the boil by
frequent applications, both before and
nfter it opens, of a solution of boric
ncid and absolute alcohol. This affords
a pretty short menus of preventing a
reH'tition or increase of boils by auto
inoeulittion, and where there is ten
dene) to recurrence In spite of such
precaution, thorough constitutional
trcatnetit for the bltsid is certainly
advisable. - Vr. f'uuh-'a IkntUi Munlhly.
