THE WINDOW.
As a Qiao's house by night to the pas-Ber-by,
so id his life to his fellows.
Dull seeming and darkened, with only
a gleam by chance escaping, to bint at
the golden chambers, within which he
dwells illumined. Vet how good to
the way-farer is the open window.
I came to such a bouse last night.
Within the small room, on a table was
a little candUbruni with three burning
candles. Two were large and on, the
middle one, was small, oh tiny. But
the little one burned brightest.
Near the open tire there was a great
leather chair and a man's smoking
jacket and slippers.
A baby slept on a low couch. The
door opened and a woman entered. She
knelt by the couch where the slumber
ing child lay. When it wakened and
smiled tne earliest three cornered smile
of early baby-hood, she worshipped and
took its rose tinted feet into her hand
and kiesed them. A man brushed past
me and ran up the'steps.
When I looked again at the window
the blind was drawn.
I went down the long street. It was
quite deserted and the long autumn
rain was falling.
I once had a wife and child.
THE EMIGRANT.
The dajs grow short, and tidings of
winter are in the air. The summer has
gone from you too. You who live iu
the wee white bouse at the foot of thn
watching mountain, where the blue sky
is mirrored in the calm pool and the
deer come unafraid to eat from the
bands of the children; where the glad,
strong stream shouts and calls under
the tall trees.
The stream shouts to me across a
thousand miles of hill and plain, and I
see the green trees beckon. Are they

A FEW SMALL DETAILS.
It was a cool June morning. I sat in
the porch of my tiny cottage sewing,
glancing up now and then to mark the
progress of our good old postman tot
tering up the wide, sbade-dappled
street. When he stopped at my gate I
went down the path between the beds
of phlox and pinkp, took my letter, and
stood to gossip a bit with the garrulous
kindly creature.
"The letter ie from Miss Jeau, I make
no doubt, Miss Mary.''
"My faith! but she's grown a fine
handsome young lady Ye miss her I
tako it. You're more a mother to 'er
than a sister. Seems like yesterday
you come home from your mother's
grave leadin the little tot by the hand,
lookin' tall and black by the side of 'er.
Don't seem more'n la6t week she was
makin' mud pies by the gate there with
little John Vandergraft to carry the
mud for 'er. D'ye say she's visitin'
John's wife? He's a fine lawyer they
say. Likely to be our next candidate
Tor governor. Wal, I must be movia
on. Good mornin'. Miss Mary."
I went slowly back to the shade of my
morning glory vines, content, warming
my old heart as the June sunshine
warmed the gray old world, to sit in
the cool porch and read my letter from
ay good Jean.

1 can easily arrange things for the night
if you'll just tell me what you wish done.
I have cleared the dining table.
Mrs. Sylvajco't How nice of you!
Did you put the butter on ice?
Mr. Sylvancott I did.
Mrs. Sylvancott Well, bring up a
pitcher of ice water and some matches.
Mrs. Sylvancott All right.
Mrs. Sylvancott And set out the lit
tle china jar for the condensed milk and
the covered can for the other milk.
Mr. Sylvancott Yes.
Mrs. Sylvancott And don't forget to
double-lock the back door.
Mr. Sylvancott No, I won't.
Mrs. Sylvancott Close the front
shutters and you must be careful about
that side window clasp it is apt to
spring back. You'd belter wedge lha
screw-driver in at the side of the sash
for safety.
Mr. Sylvancott- Very well.
Mrs. Sylvancott Empty the water
tin that slides under the refrigerator,
and be sure to shut the door into tae
cellar.
Mr. Sylvancott I'll attend to it.
Mrs. Sylvancott And 1 think you
would better fill my small ale ihol lamp.
Mr. Sylvancott Is that all?
Mrs. Sylvancott (considering) Ye es.
That's all. You might bring up a lem
on, and an extra glass, and my black
and white breakfast shawl.
Mr. Sylvancott (going) I'll do so.
Mrs. Sylvancott A moment, dear!
Please hang the bird cage on that high
est hook and open the middle window
JJ5r.re&SAbQut a handbreadth.
Mr. Sylvancott Well?
Mrs. Sylvancott Oh! and do give
those poor cats some milk. Put the big
cat into the back yard and let the kit
ten stay in. Pull out two dampers in
the range and take one lid off. And it
you'll just lock the closet and slip the
key under the yellow rug
Mr. Sylvancott The yellow rug?
Yts.
Mrs. Sylvancott Don't neglect to
shut the front gate and dear! I'm so
glad I thought of it! The rubber-plants
on the front stoop. You can roll them
into the hall.
Mr. Sylvancott That's what I'll do.
Mrs. Sylvancott Remember to turn
all the gas off, and don't forget 'to wind
the clock.
Mr. Sylvancott (with the calmness of
desperation) Is there anything else?
Mrs. Sylvancott (sweetly) Nothing
else down stairz. Thank you so much.
When you come up I shall ask you
