THE PANSIES.
What do the ponsies think, mamma,
Wbvn they nrst come In the spring?
Do they remembrtne robins.
And the sonjjs tney used to sing?
When the butterflies come again,
I wonder if they will say:
' We are ever so sflad to see you.
And won't you sit down and stay?
WiU the pansies rell the butterflies
How the snow lay white and deep.
And bow beneath It. safe and warm.
They had such a pleasant sleep?
Will the butterflies tell the pansies
How they hid In their cradle bed.
And dreamed away the winter-time.
When people thought they were dead?
And will they talk of the weather.
Just as irrown-up people do?
And wish the sun would always shlna.
And the sUes be always blue?
Bpeak of the lilies dressed In white.
And the daffodils dressed In void,
And say that they think the tulips
Are exceedingly uay and bold?
I fancy the purple pansies arc proudj
I fancy the yellow are gay.
Oh! I wish I could know just what they
think:
I wish I could hear them say:

The kind little girl in pink.

"I'm 30 tired
an' hungry!" sighed
;hetic little sob rising
Marv Jane, a cath
in her poor, parched throat; "an1 I
dadaent go home till I get somethin'.
It's gettin' dark. too. O, what urill
Granny O'Brien saya
She was sitting outaiw. ui a grocery
store, on one of the steps a forlorn,
ragged bunch of humanity, with great,
solemn eyes, that looked like a twin
pair of pansies, and tangled meshes of
yellow hair.
Mary Jane was a little bejrgar-girl,
and 3he lived with Granny O'Brien and
one lama beggar-boy. You may think
that they were brother and sister, but
they were not.
Granny had picked them up on sev
eral occasions, because siie thought
they would be of great use to her in her
profession. Doubtless you have
guessed what that profession was.
She had picked up Alary Jane be
cause of her beautiful, pleading eyes.
Lame Timmy had been the son: of
Widow McGrath, a neighbor of Grannv
O'Brien. Mrs. McGrath's death had
been very sudden. If it had not been,
I am sure she would have tried to get
him into an orphan asylum, or made
some provision against his falling into
Granny O'Brien's clutches.
But Granny O' Brien told the neigh
bors that little Timmy had been Uft to
her care by Mrs. McGrath herself.
Nobody could dispute her statement,
and so Lame Timmy, who had been ac
customed all his life to care and tender
ness, was sent out into the streets to
beg.
Darkness was slowly descanding upon
the streets of the crowded city. A
whistling boy, with a short ladder un
dr his arm, was flitting blithely past,
lighting' the street-lamps on each block.
Mary Jane watched the lights as they
began to shine further and further down
the streets.
It looks like a road leading to Fairy
land," she thought: "an' I do believe
it is!" forgetting that she had walked
down it manr times, and that it termi
nated in the dirtv alley-way in which
Granny 0Brienrs hovel was situated,
down by the muddy river.
Lame Timmy could read, and had
often told Mary Jane the fairy stories he
had read before he came to live with
Granny O'Brien. Granny had taken all
his precious books away from him, de
claring that they made him idle and
lazy. Mary Jane accepted the marvel
ous tales without question, and doubt
ed not that a fairy would some time ap
pear before her and grant three wishes.
She had even decided what those
wishes should be. First, a big marble
house with a door-bell; leconu, a " pi
anny;" third, a white horse for Timmy
to ride on.
She never left Timmy out of any of
her calculations, for she loved him more
than any one else in the wide world
Mary Jane dared not go home to
Granny O'Brien with empty- hands.
She knew too well the strength and
cruelty of Granny's skinny arms. She
was now quite sure, moreover, that this
street would lead her to Fairy-land.
Whv not go now and obtain her three t
wishes? Granny O'Brien Wouldn't citrt;
to touch her if she had a "pianuy" and
a marble house with a door-bell.
bo Mary Jane stretched her cramped.
wearv limbs, ana set out lor rairy-lanu.
The first part of the way wasn't very
pretty only great gloomy ware houses,
and ugly, shabby little shoe-shops and
grocery-stores.
But further on the street began to
grow wider. There were also more
Lamps over the gateways and on the
corners. On either side were just such
freat marble houses as the one- Mary
ane was going to have.
"Why-ee!" said Mary Jane, "this
must be Fairy-land, sure nough!" and
he s opped before one of the big man
sions. A flood of light was streaming from
every open casement, Mary Jane was
quite sure that it all came from the gold
en throne of the queen fairy.
There was music, too clear, sweet,
lively music that, falling on the de
lighted ears of Mary Jane, made her
shabbily-shod feet go up and down in
spite of themselves.
How Mary Jane laughed softly to her
self, and how the little rusty shoes twin
kled on the tesselated marble pavement!
If the fairies had known she was there,
I think they would all have gone oit to
look at Mafv Jane iust then, and Iknow
thew would have enjoyed the dance
quite as much as she.
When tiie music ceased, Mary Jane
sank down on the pavement, with a
laugh and a gasp.
' O, my she said; "wot a dance that
was! I must a-Iooked like a hand-organ
giri. only their clothes is most alwis
nicern mine," looking apologetically
down at her ragged dress.
Virft riifaM ririiitri anif T-vnlnif'it'ti'irr
heart Mary Jane climbed up the stone i
steps. She intended to ring the bell, but !
it was so high up that she couldn't reach i
it. I am ever so glad that this was so, j
for if it hadn't been, Mary Jane might
never have seen Fairy-land, and had her
three wishes, after alL " I
You must know that in this Fairy-
land were several ogres, dressed in ,
black, who would have sent Mary Jane :
out again had they seen her come in.
Sucn ogres are a great help to thefairies
sometimes, though I think they often
display more authority than the fairies j
have evtirsaid thfv mfcrhf:.
The massive oaken door was slightly
ajar. Mary Jane gave it a push, and
crept softly in. She looked around her
in wonder and awe. Such a great, high .
worn, with a hard, shining floor, that re- I
lected Mary Jane's diminutive figure I
and everything around her; with crystal j
lamps shininglike clusters of stars above
her- I
Mary Jane wondered if they were
" di'mon's." Eer idea of how diamonds
looked was very vague indeed. In Tim
my's stories diamonds always figured
conspicuously, and these must of course
be some.
Straight ahead was a wide staircase,
which shone just like the polished floor,
Mary Jane was quite sure that k led up
to an enchanted castle.
As she looked at the marble and
bronze statues scattered about, Marv
Jane's ttnder little heart ached with
pity. They had, doubtless, been poor
unfortunates in search of Fairy-land, and
had fallen into the power of the ogre in
the enchanted castle.
But there was one which Mary Jane
looked at for full five minutes without
the least pity in her heart. It was a
-marble statue" of a boot-black, with his
brush in his hand.
' Ha! ha! I know who you be!" she
said, pulling the statue's nose, and mak
ing horrible faces. " I guess you won't
hit me on the head with yer brush agin
fer nuthin', Jim Smith! I'm awful glad
the ogre got a-holt o' you!"
Just then a step sounded upon the
staircase, and, with a stifled scream and
a wildly-beating heart. Mary Jane ank
down behind the statue of Jim Smith.
It was an ogre in black, who looked ter
ribly stern, and had tierce, bristling
side-whiskers. With a sigh of relief,
Mary Jane watched him disappear in
one of the open doorways. .
As she crept out again she felt very
penitent for having treated Jim Smith
so shamefully.
" It must be awful to be as cold an'
hard as a stun," she said, with a ohud
der. "Poor Jimmv!"
The music had begun again. Peep
ing in at one of the doorways, Mary
Jane beheld a scene that fairly "took her
breath away. There were fairies and
fairies, all "about her size, but oh, so
beautifully dressed! dancing with as
many handsome young princes. There
was "a tall lady fairy there, too. who
watched the other fairies dancing, and
looked at thera. oh. ever so kindly!
Mary Jane decided at once that this
must be the queen of the fairies.
44 O. this is fairy-land, sure enough!"
cried Mary Jane.
She had not meant to say it aloud.
No. indeed; she had intended to only
Uunk it. But the beauty and splendor
of it all had almost taken away her
senses. Her awed voice rose, sweet
and shrill above the music and the rust
ling of the dancers.
The music ceased with a crash; the
fairies and prince stopped dancing and
stared at the frightened little apparition
in the doorway. Then the queen-fairy
carae forward, and. stooping down,
kissed Mary Jane's scared, quivering
mouth.
44 1 came to visit Fairy-land." falt
ered Man Jane, "an to get three wish
es from you."
How the fairies and princes laughed!
But thev were so merry ami good-natured
about it that somehow Mary Jane
didn't feel a bit embarrassed.
4 What are the wishes, dear child?
Perhaps I can grant them." smiled the
queen-fairy.
440, thank you, mem!" cried Mary
Jane, her blue eyes shining; but, -somehow,
the three wishes she hail counted
on her fingers so often in Granny
O'Brien's hut were not so easy to enu
merate wheu she really was in Fairy
land. " Well, then. I should like to live
here forever an' ever," began Mary
Jane, gazing about her in a sort of rapt
ure, "an' have Lame Timmv with me.
That makes two wishes. An then an'
then won't you please a the ogre to
change the stater of Jim Smith, out In
that big room there, back ag'in?"
The boys and rirls I" mean the
princes anil fairies laughed more than
ever at this: but there were tears in the
queen-fairy's eyes. Mary Jane thought
they were ilianionds, and" sgftly touched
oue" which had fallen on her hand.
44 They ain't di'nioirN. arter all!" she
cried, much disappointed.
And at this even the queen-fairy had
to smile brightly through her tears.
I know you are thinking that I am
making this story too long, so I will
hasten to the end.
Mary Jane's wishes all camf true.
The queen-fairy was a rich and kind
lady, who love children very much, but
who had none of her own.
Y.ou may be sure that Granny O'Brien
didn't want to part with Timmy and
Mary Jane. They are both of the opin
ion "that" the fairy threw a spell over
Granny; and o am I a spell of gold.
A boy whose mime is Jim Smith
blacked my boots only the other day. so
I am sure Mary Jane's third wish was
granted. Golden Days.
Texas Cattle.
Westward from Houston the country
becomes drier, though there is still
much low prairie. All along the road
through this region one sees many cat
tle, anl soon learns the meaning of the
accounts, so often repeated, of cattle be
ing able to "live out all winter, without
feed or shelter." They do live so; that
is, some of them do. Many die from
starvation. I saw their bodies every
where, and many of those still alive
were wretchedly emaciated. Hundreds
of them were, to use an expressive

The owners appeared generally to hold
the same cheerful philosophy with a
man with whom I talked at Corinth,
Miss., who thought he did no lose much
when hundreds of his sheep died for
want of food and shelter, because, as
he said, 44 we git the wool." So those
Texas cattle men seemed satisfied with
the hides. " Hundreds and thousands
of the cattle die when the new grass
begins to come;" so I was told every
where. The explanation is that the
cattle, weak from long starvation and
ravenous with hunger, eat excessively
of the fresh grass. They have no "dry
feed" to serve as a corrective, and the
surfeit on green food kills them. The
whole system and plan of cattle-raising
in this State seemed to me to be enor
niously wastefuL yet the industry is a
source of wealth. " It would, however,
be much more profitable with better
methods; and as population becomes
more dense, and the range for cattle is
circumscribed, these wHT of necessity
be adopted. Atlantic Monthly.

We do not contend that a universally

The Maintenance of Solar Temperatures.
An estimate of the amount of heat
poured down annually upon the surface
of our earth may be formed from the I
fact that it exceeds a million times the
heat producible by all the coal raised,
which may be taken at 2!jO,WXiG0O tons .
a year.
If. then, we depend npon solar radia
tion for our very existence from day to
day, it cannot be said that we are only
remotely interested in solar physics, and
the question whether and how solar en
ergy, comprising the rays of heat, of
light, and the actinic rays, is likely to
be maintained, is one in which we have
at least as great a reversionary interest
as we have in landed estate or other
property.
If the amount of heat. or. more cor
rectly speaking, of energy, supplied an
nually to our earth is great as compared
with terrestrial quantities, that scattered
abroad in all directions by the sun
strikes ns as something almost beyond
conception.
The amount of heat radiated from the
tun has been approximately computed
by the aid of the pyrhcliometer of
Pouillet. antl by the actinometers ot
HtrsfhtL ut lS.f000iO hit-nnits from
every it,uare ft of to surface pet
I hour; or expressed popularlv. if coal
were consumed on the surface of the
sun in the most perfect manner, our
total annual production of ?sn.ijO4,.tH.'0
tons, being the estimated produce of all
the coal-mines of the earth, would
suffice to keep up solar radiation for
otilv one forty-millionth part of a sec
ond; or, if the earth were a mass ot
coal, and could be supplied by contract
to the solar furuaceuieu. thL supply
would last them just thirty-six hours.
If the sun were surrounded by a solid
sphere of a radius equal to the meau

The English Relief System.
Moncure D. Conway, in a letter tc
the Cincinnati t'ommeriialj describes
the relief system of Great Britain as fol
lows : '-Not only is poverty pensioned,
but a premium is put upon some of its
causes. Were at this moment to lay
aside my pen and go to the relieving
officer of this parish and tell him I and
my family were in want; he wochi"etth
er have to show it otherwise or support
me. If he iloubts my statement the
bunion of proof ret. with htm. If 'he
riuiLs me in a house, ami L declare the
house and furniture belongs to on
one else, he must either take cp liis
time in ferreting out facts that would
show the imposture or eLe must giye
relief. A a matter of fact, when th
relieving ofiieer L applied to, his inves
tigation is not and an not be extensive.
He gives the applicant half a crown
(2 1-2 cents) per week for himself, a
shilling for his wife per week, a roll of
bread for each of the children and an
onier for meat and gr'M'ene. These
meats and groceries are -nipli,l by con
tract with Targe hou.?s. and are much
better than most people get who, work
for their living. Everybody, therefore,
in this country, hat? a" right to demand
Fhysical support without working foe; it.
t is true that the relieving officer is au
thorize! to make the applicant io some
work, and nominally he often does so;
but it is a mere apology fur worx, such
as assorting papers for a half hour oc
other trifle ; for were it real or produc
tive labor the trades would make a row.
Therefore, the guardians support a vars
number of lazy people. But there are
other singular f:icts. If a poor man and
wife have ten children they may find an
important advantage in deserting them.
They go off to another par: of I.ondoc
or to another town. Fhe guardians of
the poor take the chii'lren to a com
fortable home. They advertise for the
deserting parents. They are probably
found out and arrested. The man-is
given a few weess in prison. When ho
comes out of prison ho may, if he cares
for his chddren, go to the home and de
mand them (though the home would
keep them). Having got thetn-he.may
then go to tho relieving officer arid' say :
'Nobody will employ me Lecauso I havo
been in prison. I have ten children on
my hands.' Then the relieving otneer
must support that big family. Any lit
tle money the man can pick up he may
keep ; he has always an excuse foe de
manding relief in the -tigma of his
crime. "" The more children he has the
more he gets. Instead, therefore, of
placing a tax on every ehrld brought in
to the world, which would be the better
course, this country virtually put a pre
mium on excessive breeding of paupers.
And this it continues to do after the fol
ly has been demonstrated a thousand
times, -imply in dread lest these massed
turn to criminals. Twenty-ionr hours
of absolute hunger would turn them in
to an army of bandits and iurglars. To
deal with an evil radically is not in the
average English nature, consequontly
the evil has gone on until now pauper
ism, decreasing in many districts by
flooding London, has risen beyond the
provisions of the metropolis for it. The
result is an increase of crime. There is
