SING A SONG.
Lt you'll sing a song as you go along ,
In the face o the real or the fancied
wrong ;
In spite of the doubt if you'll fight it out ,
And'show a heart that is brave and stout ;
If you'll laugh at the jeers and refuse
the tears ,
You'll force the ever-reluctant cheers
That the world denies when a coward
cries ,
To give to the man who bravely tries ;
And you'll win success with a. little
song
If you'll sing the song as 3'ou'go along !
If you'll sing a song as you plod along ,
You'll find that the busy , rushing throng
Will catch the strain of the 'glad refrain ;
That the sun will follow the blinding
rain ;
That the clouds will fly from the black
ened sky ; (
That the starawill come out by and by ;
And you'll make new friends , till hope
descends
From where the placid rainbow bends ;
And all because of a little song
If you'll sing the song as you plod along !
If you'll sing a song as you trudge along ,
You'll see that the singing will make you
strong ;
And-the heavy load and the rugged road ,
And "the sting and the stripe of the tor
tuous goad
Will soar with the note that you set
afloat ;
And the beam will change to a trifling
mote ;
That the world is bad when you are sad ,
And bright and beautiful when glad ,
That all you need is a little song
If you'll sing the song as you trudge
along !

"Well , I never ! What a wonderfuf
thing ! How truly kind and consider
ate ! I take it as a direct answer to
prayer. "
Miss Joan Lawrence dropped a let
ter on the table , and covered two slight
ly : wrinkled cheeks with her thin
hands.
he "What are you talking about ? Is
anything the matter ? " inquired Miss
Caroline , looking up , her small , eager
face expressing Irritability and curi
osity. She was bending over an old-
fashioned embroidery frame , and was
in the act of counting , "three greens ,
one ! white , a purple , then a pearl , " when
her sister's voice sent all the colors out
of : her head.
"A most unaccountable thing has
happened , " answered Miss "
ha Joan. "Such

"It is all our minister's doing , " said
Margaret , softly. "It was Mr. Forbes
who wrote to Mr. Sloane on our be
half. "
.Both sisters turned to her in sur
prise. '
"We. don't .understand you , Mar

"No. " she answered , plaintively. "If bi

ind and , upon my own responsibility , al
called upon Mr. Forbes , told him
mr difficulties , and asked if he could
lelp us in any way. Apparently it was lo
good thing I did so. "
"Yes , " admitted Miss Joan , looking w
enderly into .the soft , shy eyes of her cl
roungest sister , "it was a happy cldi

Miss Joan broke down
quite unex-
iy
ectedly , and sobbed. "I can't help it , "
ihe said ; "I am crying for thankful-
" dc
icss.
The sisters drew round the fire and
at there for an hour discussing their ,
T
jood fortune.
'I shouldn't be one bit surprised , "
Caroline , "if after Mr. Skxme has ;
seen < our work he gives -us more orders

the past the- hundreds of pounds we [
lave paid over his counters. " ?
It was Tuesday morning when Miss ui
loan received Mr. Sloane's letter , and lii
luring the next two days the sisters
talked of nothing but how they should h
neet him , and what they should say. crh
Ehe memory of the past , when they h
ranked with his best customers , gave
them courage , while the .fact that they in
nrere about to meet -himion different ci
term * was not without ItFsting.
When Thursday morning came , how , a
sver , Miss Joan and her sister Margaret tc
tcw
garet put on their best bonnets and w
bravely went to town , taking with
them a tell-tale , large brown-pa'per par h (
. The pavements were wet and slip e : <
pery , and a drizzling rain was falling. y
Now , although they kept assuring each di
other that their business was entirely dib
honorable , and not unpleasant , still b > <
they went on their way a little timor si
ously , feeling anxious nnd ill at ease.
they approached their destination a ;
their spirits sank still lower , and they d
wished their interview with Mr. Sloane
wnll over.
The well-known , flourishing establish
ment of "Sloane & Co. " was a series of
large shops occupying the length of one
street , and part of another.
"We will go in at tte door where
we are least likely to be recognized ,
dearie , " said Miss Joan , nervously.
"Dear me , child , you look soaked
through ! "
' 'Never mind me ; I shall soon dry , "
said Margaret , with a laugh that was
half tears. "I wish we wore at home
again , don't you ? "
Miss Joan did not answer , but
swung open a heavy glass door and
made her way to the counter , Margaret
following.
A tall , bustling , well-dressed girl' pre
sented herself , and bestowed a reveren
tial smile upon the ladles. Alas ! they
recognized her at once. She 'had been
the head of the glove department for
years.
"What Is your pleasure , madam ?
Glores ? " She hesitated to eye with
amazement the large parcel. The
wealthy Miss Lawrence with a parcel.
What did it mean ? Her obsequious
manner at once degenerated into femi
nine curiosity.
"Thank you , not gloves to-day. I
wish to see Mr. Sloane/ind Miss Joan
presented her card. '
"Mr. Sloane ? He is in the next shop.
Perhaps you would like to go to him ? "
"No , we prefer to wait here , " Miss
Joan's voice faltered , , - . . . . . -y * . .
"He is terribly busy , " volunteered
the girl , curling the edge of the card
in her fingers as she went on her er
rand. Presently she returned. Mr.
Sloane would see them directly , and in
a few minutes he appeared bald of
head , flabby of feature , and smooth of
tongue , a loosely built man with stoop
ing shoulders. He came forward , rub
bing his hands. The ladies bowed. Then
he glanced at their faces , and grew
confused. Evidently he had not
thought of associating these well-re
membered stately gentlewomen with
the' Jetter ofappeal _ received from the
Rev. Mr. Forbes ! * - -
"Excuse me , " he stammered , gatherIng -
Ing himself together ; "for a moment I
am engaged with a gentleman. I will
return to you immediately. " Again the
ladies bowed.

private room , Joan , " whispered Mar-

"Of course he will. " ClCl
John had scarcely repeated her sis- Cl

When Joam and Margaret returned
ionic their manner betrayed suppress-
d excitement. Indeed , Joan had hard-
ple
entered the house before she broke

"Oh , Caroline ! " she cried ; "we have si
cen so humiliated. " And she told her
sister all that had happened.
"Hush , hush. Joan ! " Margaret said , Ci

learl Don't talk about It now. Let w
me take off your bonnet There , there ;
you are our brave Joan again. "
At that moment something happen
ed. The wheels of a carriage rattled
down the narrow street A knock came
to the front door , and presently the
little maid-of-all-work announced "Mrs.
Spencer. "
She stood onthe threshold almost
enveloped in costly furs , and with a
startled cry Margaret rose to her feet ,
for she recognized her at once as an
interested observer of their trying half-
hour at Sloane's.
In another moment she had settled
herself cosily in an armchair , and the
dark , mournful room seemed full of
sunshine and brightness.
"You must excuse me for calling In
this unconventional way , " said Mrs.
Spencer ; "but I saw you , as you know ,
at Sloane's this morning , and I was
interested , for your beautiful work at
tracted me , though , of course , I could
not approach you there. One thing es
pecially took my fancy a cushion of
rare beauty. I would be so glad If you
would sell it to me , and my carriage
being here , I can take it with me. "
Seeing at a glance that the sisters
were not "bargainers , " the kind-hearted
lady named a sum far beyond all their
expectations , and insisted on its ac
ceptance in a way which touched them
deeply.
"Now this brings Ese to the real ob
ject of my visit , " she continued. "I
am furnishing a boudoir in the antique.
know , I am asking a great favor but
will you undertake to renovate and re
place all the needlework covers of
chairs , cushions , mantle-borders , and
so forth ? I do hope you will say

'Yes.
The sisters could hardly recognize
their own voices as they attempted to
speak. They felt dazed , bewildered , the
relief was so great , the lady's kindness
so overwhelming.
"We cannot find words in which to
express to you , madam , our sincere
thanks. " Miss Joan's lips quivered pit

She waved her hand out of the car
riage window , and , as she went her
way , It may be that a still small voice
whispered In her ear the words of the
Master whom she so faithfully served :

Jllr. Harmon's Jfevr Gardener.
"Old Man Harmon , " as he was generally -
orally , if not very respectfully known ,
Was one of the leading citizens of a
thriving Western State. His flowers
were his hobby and the pride of his
heart Mike , his head gardener , hon
est and hard-headed to the last degree ;
was a very skillful florist , but he and
the old gentleman were seldom in agree
ment. Mike would do what he thought
best for his beloved plants , regardless
of ; orders , and consequently had been
discharged two or three times every
week during the" many years'of his en-
cumbency.
At last a really serious rupture oc
curred , and the old gentleman and Mike
parted company in good earnest , each
expressing in unmeasured terms his Joy
at being rid of the other.
The flowers Immediately began to
languish as if grieving for the rough
but tender hand that had cared for
them so long. Mr. Harmon advertised
far and near for a gardener.
Selecting from , the numerous replies
the one that most struck his fancy , he t
wrote and appointed an immediate in
terview. o
The od gentleman hastened out on r
the lawn when the applicant was an b
nounced , only to be confronted by Mike , n
dressed in his Sunday best , bowing and t
smiling with the best grace in the i
world , and holding in his hand Mr. iE
iT
Harmon's letter appointing the meet T
ing ! S
"An' is it a gardener you're wantin' , S
sir ; ? " queried Mike , innocently.
"I am badly in need of one , " respond
Mr. Harmon , gravely. "I had a fair '
good man , but he was so pig-headed f
that I had to let him go. He never t
seemed to understand that I wanted a
some little personal enjoyment out of P
my plants , even if I did lose a few oc e o
casionally by experimenting with them. V
But I must say that he was a good
man. "
"The spalpeen ! " Interrupted Mike.
"To be after not wanting you to enjoy
your own blossoms , an' yourself bear a

"I had a good place me elf , but I
bad to leave onaccount of the boss
thinking he knowed so much more than
did , an' wanting me to transplant
some of our best plants on a day that
wuz cold enough to freeze the nose off
yer face , to say nothing of thim tender E
shoots. : But I'm not saying that he
wuzn't a gentleman an' the best man
ever worked for. "
The Interview proceeded with great
solemnity , as between two strangers ,
and in a half-hour Mike had his coat
, busily going over his tulips and
hyacinths , and grumbling comfortably
about the moles and the cutworms.

Handwriting : Tells Age.
Youngish mothers of well-grown
daughters are waking to the fact that
what was held to be a proper hand
writing for a woman twenty years ago
is no longer taught in the schools. The
queer angular hand that women still
affected ten years ago has given place
to a handwriting with curves , and the
vertical writing of a dozen years ago
Is disappearing before a moderate
slant
The woman whose handwriting is
marked by the extreme form of the
angular style is as easily recognized
for a person no longer young as the
woman who persists in the fashions of
1892. Some unmarried women who like
11t
to < think their state not Immutable
would be glad to get rid of their telK
tale handwriting.
The younger grandmothers who did
not wake to tie angular hand In time
to change now retain the essentials of
the old copperplate style that waa
taught in the Ws and ' 70's. It Is as
tonishingly neat and clear , but as man
ifestly of an earlier generation as the
hoopskirt or the bustle.
, The girls of to-day are reverting to
the handwriting of the generation be
fore the copperplate was invented.
The women who were still young In
1840 used this rather unconventional
style.
The wasp has been observed to waylay
and rob bees the latter , laden with
honey , were returning to the hive.
FEET OUT.
j
She Had Curious Habits.
When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of the-
heat and prickly sensation , it is time
that coffee , which causes the trouble ,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous 6on-
aitiong that coffee will produce. It ;
shows In one way in one person andj.
in another way in another. In this *
ease the lady lived in S. Dak. Sher
says :
"I have had to lie awake half the.
night with my feet and limbs out of-
the : bed on the coldest nights , and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold. I had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the low
er limbs , and for most of the time I
have been unable to go to church or to-
lectures because of that awful feeling :
that I must keep on the move.
"When it was brought to my atten
tion that coffee
caused so many nern
vous diseases , I concluded to drop cof-j
fee and take Postum Food Coffee to-
see if my trouble was caused by coffee
drinking.
"I only drank one cup of coffee forj
breakfast but that was enough to dor
the business for me. When I quit ib
my troubles disappeared in an almost ?
miraculous way. Now I have no more ?
the jerking and twitching and can *
sleep with any amount of bedding oven
me and sleep all night In sound , peace
ful rest
"Postum Food Coffee Is absolutely
worth its weight in gold to me. "
