"PEE-WEE."
When the morning long was filled with SODE That burst from every tree, I heard a foolish littlo bird
That only sang "Pee-wee!"
And I spoke out clear, so the bird oould hear. It really seems to mo If I couldn't sing a different song
Than just 'Pec-wee! Pee-weol' "I'd hide away from the songsters gar In tho thickest greenwood tree. And I wouldn't sing the foolish thing
To show iny low degree." But the littlo bird, when he had heard My wiso speech, looked at me With his bright eyes wide and his h«*d one side.
And said again, "Pee-wee!"
And I understood t*-e lesson good The little bird ha', for me. God gives one song, and we should sins,
If it only be "Pee-wee!" —Albert Annett in Youth's Companion.
A CAPTAIN'S DREAM.
"But, sir," Baid the orderly in respectful remonstrance, "you are annihilated." "Annihilated!" echoed the captain in indignation. "Yes, sir the umpire sent word as you and all your company was swep' away by the last discharge of the milishy." "By the militia, too!" exclaimed the captain. "Well, I'm d. Here, give me my flask and sandwiches and take the horse."
The captain sat watching the fight as It rolled over to the opposite hill and oonsuming his sandwiches. He waa of course annoyed at being annihilated but after all he was saved some marching in the sun, and the day was hot. He wondered where he should be likely to find his wife, who had expressed her intention of trying to see something of the maneuvers. By the time, however, that he had finished his lunch and lit his cigar he decided that he did not muoh: want to find his wife, and he lay back and smoked in luxurious ease. "Talk about meeting death with resignation!" mused he "why, it's splendid. Fm sorry it was the militia, though. I suppose our charge was rather rash—a Balaklava sort of
He nodded off, and his cigar fell from his lips. Hardly had this happened when he was roused by a sweet voice. Opening his eyes, he saw before him a lovely girl. "I beg your pardon, sir," she said, "but could you tell me where to find mamma?"
The captain looked at the lady. "I am dead," he said "dead men oan't find mammas." "You don't look very dead," she answered, smiling. "An Englishman never knows when he is dead," said the captain in hazy reminiscence "but I have it on the authority of the umpire, if that will do." "I left mamma just about here," remarked the lady. "Then she's undoubtedly annihilated also. Nothing bigger than a mouse could have lived through that fire." "Mamma is much larger than a mouse," said the lady, smiling. "Won't you sit down?' asked the captain.
The lady, smiling again, sat down. She wore a simple dress of white, and the blue ribbon round her waist was rivaled by the blue of her eyes. "I mustn't stay long," she said. "At a moment like this," remarked the eaptain, "a man's memory wanders free through the delightful labyrinths of youth and love" "Love! Are you married?" "I was married," answered the captain. "And you were thinking of your wife?" "whilehis fancy," pursued the captain, "pictures joys yet in the future— perhaps the near future."
The lady was picking a daisy to pieces. She raised her eyes for a moment and looked at the captain. "But if you are dead"— she suggested. "Now you," the captain continued, raising himself on his elbow, "are tuo young even to have thought of a kiss!" "I have certainly never thought uiuch of a kiss," said the lady. "The thought does not fill you with delicious trepidation?" "Oh, no." "I thought not," said the captain in a gratified toue. "It does me, you know." "Ah!" saiC the lady. "You can't know what it's like." "I've often kissed mamma." "It's not quite the same tung still, show ne how you kiss macula." "Well, supposing my hand was mamma, I should go like thu,t." "I sec. And what would mammado?" "Oh, I cai.'t show you that. Mj hp.nd can't kiss me, you know."

"That's nonsense, isn't it? J. couldn't suppose that." "Well, then, supposing 'I were mamma" "But you're not a bit like mamma." "I have it. Suppose you were mamma, and I were you" "That would do capitally but we need not trouble. I see inamma coming now."
She pointed, and at tho foot of the hill the captain also saw mamma. "Has she good sight?' asked the captain. "No, she is nearsighted. I'm afraid she'll not see us." "Ah!" said the captain, and he kissed the lady. With a little cry and a little laugh she sprang up and ran down the hill.
The captain closed his eyes, but in a moment a well known voice made him open them again. His wife stood before him. She was looking very handsome, the captain thought. By her Bide stood young Jocelyn—Beauty Jocelyn,as they called him—the last joined cornet. The captain's wife and Beauty Jocelyn stood just in front of the captain, some six feet from him. "I don't see why not," said the captain's wife to Beauty Jocelyn, and to the captain's horror Beauty Jocelyn kissed his wife. "Another?" asked Beauty Jocelyn. "I should like it," said the captain's wife. "This is a hideous nightmare," thought the captain. "Just one more!" pleaded Beauty Jocelyn. "Well, if you"— began the captain's wife.
But the captain leaped to his feet. "The devil!" he cried. "Oh, you are awake now, dear, are you?" said his .wife. "How imprudent to sleep in the sun! I met Mr. Jocelyn, and he kindly helped me to find you." "I was delighted," murmured Beauty Jocelyn. "Delighted, you scoundrel!" exclaimed tly captain. "You dare to kiss my wife before my very eyes! And she—she permits it!" and the captain groaned. "My dear captain, I kiss your wife!" expostulated Beauty Jocelyn with raised eyebrows. "Charles! How dare you!" said the captain's wife. "You deny it? You have tho audacity to deny it? Just now, this very moment, you kissed her twice." "You must have been dreaming, Charles." "At first I thought I was," said the captain bitterly "but I am awake now." ''Ah, but you were dreaming!" in

sisted his wife, and her eyfis wandered from his face and looked down the hillside.
Near the foot of the hill, side by sid« with a stout woman in black, the captain saw a white muslin dress and a bine sash. The eyes of the captain's wife rested an instant on the white and blue then they traveled back and dwelt ujxa the captain's face. "Yon were certainly dreaming," #ii the captain's wife, and Beanty Jocelya smiled.
A pause followed/ The captais thought he heard a light laugh wafted by tho breeze from the foot of the hi! He looked again at his wife. Eifl wife smiled. "I must have been dreaming," the captain.
