The leafing sloo Is draped In snow. And the celnndlno stars gleam bright. Bhe hath sprinkled the meadows with sliver and gold And the cuckoo flower's delicate hue. Bhe hath kindled tbngorse on the wind haant ed wold And hath garnished the woodlands anew. The speodwell's eye, Demure and sby, Bhe hath touched with a heaven born blue.

With Fortune's Favoring Smile Came an Offer of Marriage. Rosa Bonbonr gives an interesting account of her first success as an artist in her article, "The Story of My Life,” In Tbe Ladies’ Home Journal. "To bet ter study nature, so as to impregnate myself with it,” she says, "I passed whole days attbo slaughter house of tho Roulo in Paris. One must be truly de voted to one’s art to live in the midst of snob horrors and in such coarse com pany. Tho men were surprised to see a young woman interested in such things and wefe disposed to make it disa greeable for mo. But providence never abandons those who strivo to do well, and came to my uid. in the person of good old M. Emile, a Hercules in force and physique, who declared that he would tuke it upon himself to adminis ter a good lesson to the first one who behaved rudely toward me. From that timo I worked without further annoy ance. The position that my protector occupied was that of sealder and dresser of calves’ heads. Seeing how frugally I breakfasted, lie often invited me home with him, and there, surrounded by the curious implements that served him in his profession, his wife, as good and honest as himself, made me partake of many a comforting meal. ‘‘At last fortune smiled on me. M. Tedesco, tbe picture dealer, bought one of my canvases. The secretary of fine arts commissioned me to copy a picture —a ‘Flight Into Egypt, ’ I forget • by whom—and I painted another picture, ‘The Shepherd and His Flock Seeking Refuge From the Storm,’ which I sold well, and, lastly, to crown all these hap py successes, I was asked in marriage by a druggist. As tbe drug store had no attraction for me I refused. My father’s position had improved also, but death overtook him very soon after this bright ening op of our prospects. ” An Etching; of a Btujr Town. “Bay-bee, bay-bee?” called tho grimy faced urchin coaxingly. Tbe baby with the white coat and the kid gloves looked sidewise toward the curb. Its mother was one of the crowd in front of the store window and look ing at a perfect love of a bonnet. “Bay-bee, bay-bee?” came the invita tion again. Totteringly the baby approached tbe i curb and smiled trustfully up at the dingy face. Tho urchin dropped down on his ragged knees, laid the papers ha ' was selling on the pavement and patted the little kid glove with his red, dirty — little hand. “Pretty bay-bee!” he said. Just then the mother turned, ran • across the pavement and dragged the baby back. “How dare you touch her, you dirty little good for nothing!” she said. Tho urchin grasped his bundle of pa pers and rose, digging his toe into the dirt of the gutter shamefacedly. “Aw—g’wanl” he said sullnuly.— New York Press. lie Was Sore. “Drummers," sometimes called com mercial travellers, are, like ministers and doctors, fond of chaffing each other. “I’ve a great story to tell you, boys,” said a drummer to u group in the corri dor of the Iroquois last night. “I don't think any of you ever huurd me tell it before. ” “Is it u reully good story?" asked one < of the party doubtingly. “It certainly is. ” I “Tlnn I'm sure you never told it be- j fore. ”—ButTalo Times.
