Henry Ward Iieeclier's Love Poem.
During the days of Henry Ward
Beecher's courtship it is related by his
wife that l-.e once dropped into poetry.
and wrote a few lines of verse teeming
with alTectiou for his sweetheart. But
the verses were always kept sacred by
Mrs. Beeeher, as they are at the pres
ent day, and nothing can wiu them
from her.
One day Mr. and Mrs. Beeeher were
in the office of Robert Bonner, who
was then conducting the N. Y. Ledger.
"Why don t you write a poem,
Beeeher?" said the acute publisher.
"l win give you more tor sucn a poem
tnan 1 nave for 'JNorwoou. "
He did once," admitted Mrs Beeeh
er, and at once Jlr. lioaners eyes
sparkled. "Recite it for me, won't
you. Mrs. Beeeher?" ho asked.
But the eyes of the great preacher
were riveted on his wife, and she kuew
that meant silence.
"Come." said the persistent pub
lisher, "in give vo.uuu 11 you vm re
cite that poeru for me, addressing Mrs.
Beeeher.
"Why, it ran ," began the preach
ers Will.
Eunice." simply said Mr. Beeeher.
And, although Robert. Bonner offer
ed to double: ti.e Mini first offered, he
never got the poem from Mr-., li-echer.
and no one has been a wail more suc
cessful.
Mike's Mistake.
A couple of Erin's sons were taking
their noondav rest, and I heard one of
them ask his companion:
"How 13 it, Mike, that 'yez don t
spend the money that yez used t'?"
Mike elected about a quart 01 to
bacco iuice from between his lips and
replied:
"Well, Lenny. I'll tell yez. la sees.
I get me $16 ivery week, an' I used to
tell the old lady that I was only get-
tin tin dollars. I usty put tin
dollars in wan pocket for the old
lady an' the other six in me other
pocket for meseii. ay seer well.
about three weeks ago. sure, I forgot
to separate the money, an' when I got
home I handed the old lady the whole
16. A little whoile after she sez t'
me:
"How much did yez make this week.
Moike?"
"Tin dollars,' sez Ot.
TV $6.' sez she.
"An' thin it kern' t' me in a minute.
an 1 sez: Un. he must na mea a

money. Oive it nere t me, an 11 teK it

penny would she gimme, an' the Tery
next day she kim down t see tu Doss.
Of course she found out that i was
makin' me $16 a week, and now I have
to give her ivery cent."
And then the boss came along and
ordered them to work before Denny
had a chance to convey bis sympathy.

I ere was a window open, and if she
eould feel a draft she believed she wait
gelling liesh air, no matter what color
it might be given by soot or other for
eign mi ht auce. She was l idiur oil a
railroad car and. of course, si.e had to
have the window open. It was a cold
ilav. The wind blew a gale. The
chilly air which came into the car wit
laden with smoke from the loi-oniot i vo
till you could have cut it into block
with a meal-ax. The olner pas.-en-L'crs
coughed, changed their seals and
made savage remarks, but the liend
was happy. If she overheard any of
the mean things w hicii were said about
her she didn't mind them, because she
thought she was doing humanity a.
service by teaching a degenerate por
tion of it the delights of oxygen.
Of course she had no means of
knowing that the black soot which
drifted in was settling on her face anil
changing it to a color which would
deceive her best friend as to the race
she belonged to. Finally, when the
passengers were becoming desperate, a
young man entered the car with a
swagger which proclaimed him to be a
mild variety of tough. He took the
exposed seat just behind the liend,
which had been deserted by everyone
else. The cold draft struck him when
the train started. He glared at the
open wuiilow. then at the person wno
had opened it. 1 hen he reached over
anil shut it with a bang, saing:
"Let's have that winder closed.
Sallv."
'Sir!" she finally gasped.
"1 say y'knoiv, we. goito have that
winder shut," repealed the loud young
man.
This seat. sir. belongs to me. and
I shall do as I please vil!i the window
beside it. You will have the kindness
to raiM! th.1L sash again."
"Well. 1 guess not. I ain't goin' to
sit here an1 freeze orc'ioke for no nig
ger girl."
"No what?" fairly shrieked the
young woman, and. burying her face
in her handkerchief, she began to weep
ami complain that sin; was never so in
sulted in her life, and that if there
was a gentleman on the car he would
surely protect her. When she raised
her head l e discovered that her hand
kerchief had changed to a surprising
color. A horrible suspicion came up
on her. Hastily opening her ha ml bag
she produced a small mirror. One:
glance was enough. She began rub
bing her face with her handkerchief,
which was already too black to help
matters any. Then she tried her
glove, ami that only made her com
plexion streaky. At last she drew a
thick veil over her face, and thus dis
guised left the ear at the next station
and took a closed carriage for Ihm
nearest hotel. 'The passengers all

Julia Ward Howe's Children.
Flossy invented many queer amuse
ments, then. J here was the school
loan system. We had school in the
parlor at that time, and our desks h ad
lids that lifted up. In her desk Flossy
kept a number of precious things. -
which she lent to the younger children.
for so many pins an hour. The most
valuable thiug was a set of thrpe color
ed worsted balls, red. green and blue.
You could set them twirling, and they
would keep going for ever so long. It
was n oeughtiui sport, nut they were
very expensive, costing, I tin k. twenty
pins an hour. It look a long lime ta
collect twenty pins, for of course it
was not fair to take them out of the
pin-cushions.
i hen tnere was a giasseye-euo with
out a base; that cost ten pins, and was
a great, favorite with us. You stuck it
in your eve, and tried to hold it there
while von winked wiih the other. Ot
course ail this was none l;ehni'l the
raided desk-lid, and I have sometimes
wondered what ti.e teacher was doing,
that she did not find us out sooner.
She was not very observant, and I am
quite sure she was afraid of Flossy.
One sad day, however, site caught
Laura with the precious glass iu her
eye, and it was taken away forever. It
was a bitter thing to tbe child (1 know
all about it, for 1 was Laura) to be told
that she could never have it again.
even after school. She bad paid her
ten pins,
and she could not see what
right the teacher had to take the
away. But after that the school
glass
loan system was forbidden, and I have never
known what became of the three
worsted balls, Laurie E. liicliards, in
