WHEN MY SHIP COMES IN.

Bummer and winter are one to me, Aud the day

bright, be it storm or shine

For far away o'er the sunny sea. Bails a treasnre-vessel, and all is mine. I see the ripples that fall away,

As she cleaves the azure waves before And nearer, nearer, day by day, Draws the happy hour when she comes to shore. "Bat what If she never comes?" you say. if you never the honor.the treasure, gain?" It has made me happier »y by day,

It has eased full many an aching prin It has kept the spirit from envy free. Has dulled the ear to the world's rude din. Oh! best of blessings lfto been to me,

To look for the hour when my ship comes in -{Edward B, Rand.

A Cage of Crickets.

Mrs. "M. H. Catherwood, in Harper's Bazar. Usually the passengers on tbe Peru trains considered Malott Park an oasis in the desert of common railroad stations. Its windows overflowed with flowers the platform was as clean as milk-white sand even tbe flag- for it -was a flag and not a telegraph htation— spread a scarlet square enriched with needle-work and no one could be really surprised to see a pretty girl in eyeglasses step out to receive express packages and the mall bags. The Indiana woods grew quite up to the walls of her castle. Behind it rose a bill, and behind tbe hill's shoulder rose a church, and tbe tops of wbite slabs just picked themselves out between grass and sky. Whatever might be below the bill—village or nested farm-houses— tbe traveller could only conjecture.

But the facts of a sonny summer landscape are not tbe facts of tbe same landscape storm-ridden and overcast by s^ark November night.

On such a night the platform looked like a bubbling lake, and the lighted station suggested a little Mississippi steamer wedged in among foliage. There was no lightning, but there was a mighty trampling of the rain's feet through woods, and sheets of water flapped against tbe north-bound train tbe one Instant it stopped to hiss and glare.

Tbe station-keeper came out covered to her eyes in a rubber cloak: but she need not have damped the sole of her shoe, for her born knights and pages manned tbe train. From express messenger to newsboy tbey willfully did her work while the bell rang and seized on slippery railings as the train began to gild'

storm, and leaving oiily two glow-worm Bir

eyes of red in their wake. She saw there was a woman entering ber door, and followed the walking bundle with some anxlet "There isn't any lire room," she exclaimed. ''I dou't keep up till this time in the evening unless there are passengers. ^Come in here, please."

tv. in the waiting

The station-keeper threw open to the charge such a scene as should have melted any woman's heart, and made it gush approvingly througbjihe thickest wrappings?. This.was a girl's parlor, lighted through porcelain, bordered on every nide by blooming plant*, the floor covered with a fleece of warm carpet which the passenger noticed looked thoroughly well dusted. Curtains shut out the night a piano stood open. There was a cushioned arm-chair by the stove, and a small sofa drawn to the table. Upon the table supper

WAS

partly spread

some rolls and butter a white jar of marmalade the bowl of sugar-lumps cream in a silver-shell pitcher. The desk of the station-keeper was at one side of tbe room under a window here lay some reports she had been writing out, and one leaf hung down, showing her name, square and large, Camilla Morgan.

She left ber own wet water-proof spread to try in the waiting room, and hospitably offered to take her guest's a "I suppoa®you were exporting friends to meet you," sho salu, receiving a camel's-halr shawl and a furred dolman upon her arm, and waiting in vain for tbe bonnet and ancient lace veil.

The passenger, who stood there, a stout lady In black silk and hem-stitched linen, ricu and sombre, instead of replying. took some tablets and a pencil which hung at her watch-guard and wrote. She had a dark red skin. There was oue upright groove between her eyebrows, which depended as she wrote. She then handed her tablets to th« station-keeper, who read, "Please repeat what you said In writing." "Mercy exclaimed Camilla Morgan. "Js she deaf ami dumb?' And compassionately she wrote, "I suppose you are expecting friends to meet you here.!' "My son,'' said the passenger, upon tbe tablets, "will come for me in about a "Well, then," responded the stationkeeper, In tbe same silent way, "you pat) have supper with me before he comoe. I al wavs wait until eight o'clock lor my supper,*' she began to say aloud, but hastened to translate Into visible language, "because this Is the last train except a local freight, and that I do not have to trouble myself about. I eat ahall be alone so much I glad of company.

Her passenger received tbe tablets, and wrote sedately,

shall be happy to

accept your invitation." She then sat down with ber bonnet on and her veil cast back, removing her

tapping the bowl with her sugar-tongs, and holding up three fingers as a sag gestion.

In reply tbe passenger held up two fingers, instating by gestures that three lumps were more sweetening than sbe could beer. Sbe waa therefore helped to two, her hostess murmuring aloud, in unconscious soliloquy, "She looks as it she'd never used enough.'*

Boughs slashed against tbe windows, and the atom rattled and roared down the rafters. Within, atlenee must have blank bad not sounds broken out at intervals in several keys, now quavering, now shrill, and now full-vrjloed. "Yes, yes," responded Camilla to each

B^MSxamined **r guest with speculative eye-glasses, and turned ber bead toward a corner of tbe room. Finally abe made a sodden msb. and came back to the table with bashful undulation* to

set beside her plate a minute wire cage containing three black field crickets. "I hope yeu'll excuse me," she petitioned to the passenger. "I always feed tbem when I eat. They'd miss it."

If tbe passenger had made use of common speech, some explosive would have accompanied tbe expression 01 imc countenance. She looked asif she longed to shont: "A cage of crickets! Who ever saw audi a ridiculous thing! "She doesn't like it/ siiild Camilla, aloud. "Well, abe's not sucb very lively company herself tbst she need grudge me my crickets. Caeep, Jasper! Cur-r-rt, ,• Tommy! Here, Dink urn, your mnv.ft will give you the first crumb—you're the baby. Bess um old lives of'em I Needn't be 'cared at old cross lady it's only your g'an'muvver come to visit you. Sing for your suppers, children. Che-e-ep!'*

But, instead of singing, tbe children grabbed their suppers, and in the manner peculiar to them began to stow

glack

ortions of it within their glittering cases. The time had been when they refused to eat beneath her eye, lugging their crumbs out of^sight, or refusing morsels altogether. She felt it a great privilege, therefore, to hang over the cage and bring her glasses to bear upon their movements, and to regulate their manners by inserting a tea-spoon 'L. iMMA (O handle between tbe wires of the cage rap Jasper on tbe back. He was a lai enterprising cricket, and wished to take all tbe supplies behind his own legs, and .....L an Ka probably to issue such rations as he saw tit to his companions. He sprung from tbe spoon handle, and came down in a corner of tbe cage, lifting his long antenna like two interrogation points, acid making his three tail bristle express petrified astonishment.

The passenger, drinking tea and eating with the relish of a healthy appetite, kept a penetrating gaze upon Camilla. ••She doesn't like to see me feeding the beasts raw meat with my naked hands," ruminated Camilla aloud, "and some folks consider that tbe finest part of my circus. Dinkum, it's a bad night outdoors. If you live there now, you'd have to wedge under a stone, and your poor knees would just clatter together with the cold. Tommy, have you torn the ruffle of your brown petticoat? Your muvver wouldn't mind it or scold you if she could sew you up another. But these suits have to last you all winter, and I don't want to see you frayed round the edges and out at the elbows. Oh, now that you turn, I see that it isn't torn a bit. Beg Tommy's pardon. Ob, I beg your pardon too 1" she exclaimed to ber passenger, as that lady presented ber with the tablets. Upon these was written, "You must be very lonely here."

Camilla took ber own pencil from ber pocket and indited, for reply, "Because play with crickets

The passenger took the tablets, sbood her head, and set down, "Because you are to© young and pretty to live by yourself."

Cheep," piped up Jasper while his :vver read this statement, shading her face with her band.

She then wrote back "I have only lived by myself a few months. The crickets are lots of company. I found them over in the grave-yard. They lived by a certain head-board, and when the weather became frosty I brought them home. Maybe you noticed me talking to them and myself. I always talked out. loud, and it is an idiotic habit, whioh please excuse."

The passenger nodded her grave head over time, but still insisted, with a rapid hand: "It is not a fit thing for a young girl to be keeping a railroad station, and living alone in the building." "Queek!" piped Tommy, giving himself a flirt to meet Camila's fixed gaze, while he worked his knobbed horns backward and forward as if the situation had long been one of deep concern to him.

Camilla's pencil replied with dash, "There may be two opinions about that." "Certainly," was granted by the gold pencil.

Soothed by this admission, Camilla's pencil then placidly enough continued: "1 don't have to apologize to anybody, and tbe neighbors about here all know me. But you are a stranger, and it seems strange to you. Mother is buried just tbe other side of the hill. She had to be taken care of when we lost our home, and the president of this road was so kind to us! He was papa's friend. He gave me this position, and always takes an Interest in my having my reports right,and I can keep it as long as I please. We brought what furniture we had left to this place, and he built more rooms. That's my room where I

fiutwas

your things. The other was mother's the best chance I had, and she never suffered want, as she might have done if I had tried something else."

Delivering up tbe tablets at this point, she laid ber head down beside her plate, secretly passed her flst beneath bo) eyes, and looked up quite self controlled. While her guest was reading and replying she Inquired, on tbe back of an envelope, "Wont you have some more tea?'

The passenger waved her thanks and refusal. "Or cake, or anything?" bulletined Camilla.

The passenger repeated her signals, and handed back the tablets, whereon was expressed her opinion: "You ought to nave a good husband."

The following ailentconversation then took place, while tree limbs creaked outside, and the eaves overflowed in cataracts.

Camilla began it, flushing hotly. "Perhaps you area traveling agent for good husbands?" "Cheep I" spoke out Jasper, In atone like shrill astonishment. "Then perhaps I can buy one of yon by sample. That's practical and business like. But I don't want one who is ruled by his pother. "Why do you object to tbe mothert He would make a very poor husband If be had never been ruled by bis mother. You have bad a sweetheart and quarreled with him." "Creak 1" uttered Tommy, making a galvanic spring toward tbe mind-rwul-ing guest/* "Oh no be quarrelled with me—sad everything concerning me. He wasn't in harmony with my environments. He was rich and high minded." "Don't you think girls are very foolish and headstrong about their independence in these days "No. ma'am. I dort

"So, ma'am, I don't." "Isnt it a waste tor you to be sweeping out this railroad station when you might be making his bome happy ?'f py." "M set on you —. avails nothing

wrote rapidly in retort: "And a good name it is. You will find it in every honorable position. So you don't want him at all?" "No you may keep him." "Cheep!" uttered the three crickets in concert, as if they bad actually read evsry stroke of tbe pencils. "Mush, children 1" exclaimed Camilla "what do you know about lovers and trouble She'll let me alone now: and unless yon blab all I've told you here by ourselves she'll never guess what a dreadful thinking I keep up." "So you are determined not to have Mr. Smith?" the tablet conversation went on. "Positively." As Camilla wrote she felt a shiver running between hersboulders. All tbe leaves of her familiar woods must bo weighted with water, and the hoary mess-cups and reaching roots lost in frozen rain. If it were always late spring, budding, promising, stimulating one's own blood, life would not look so melancholy and long. "Perhaps the objectionable mother who rules Mr. Smith may drop off some day." "I don't think she will. She looks so healthy." "Have you ever seen her?" "I have seen her picture." "What was she like "She looked very much like you." "Surely not like me! Remember I am only the the crickets' gran'muvver, who has come to visit them, and now such very lively company that I can count on not being called cross." "I knew it all the time!" exclaimed Camilla, aloud. "And you only did it to overhear what I said to myself J" "Confessed," said the elder lady, making her voice heard for tbe first time: and a low, solid, pleasant voice it was, evidently trained through many years to control and make tbe most of itself. "And you said he was coming here in an hour. It can't be to see me. I haven't anything different to say." "He sent me ahead to make peace," continued the elder lady, "because it appears to you that I began the war. dear child, you have no son. When you have you may be exacting in the matter of his marriage. I have my odd impulses, as the way in which I came here proves but usually sober conviction rules me. My sober conviction in this case is that my son is determined to have you, and you and I will have to make the best of it. Don't you»think you can take me as a mother-in law

Camilla extended her bands ar6und the cage of crickcts, drew her fingers across the wires, but said nothing. "I did not know what a nice little wonpan you were," said the elder lady, looking at her watch, "nor what a poor substitute you have for a family in that cage of crickets." "They are perfectly tame and loviug," burst out Camilla. "So is my son. Poor lonely little girl! My heart ached the moment I came in here. I was a lonely womap myself once."

Camilla pressed her palm and fingers against her eyes. "You sba'n't make me cry," sbe uttered, defiantly. "I'm not a crying woman, if I only keep tbe flocd-gates shut." "I ant a crying woman," said the elder woman, taking out her handkerchief, and turning dark about the eyes. "And I came here to have a good sob over your beroavement- and my own old folly."

Sne rose from her chair, came over and knelt by Camilla, and the two clasped each other in an embrace, and made the room resonant with soundtt the crickets might have been amazed to bear, had not several solos of the same kind been delivered in that room before.

There! that's enough," exclaimed Camilla, rubbing her wet eyeglasses. "If I don't shut up now, I shall be hysterical for a week.' 'And you'll just let the past go, my dear, and accept his offer—and his mother?" "Your nose is real red," said Camilla. "How does mine look "Pink," replied the passenger getting up and smiling.

While she shook clown her dress folds, and while Camilla carefully rubbed her own cheeks, and laughed at the microscopic concern which she saw expressed by the faces of the crickets, a locomotive's scream came through the woods, and tbe pounding of a heavy train made the rails beside the platform tingle. "There he is now,' said the older lady,* complacently. •'Not on this train "This must be the train he was to follow on. Isn't it from the south "Of course it is. Thero goes the headlight flashing past the window. Mercy Why did vou let him come?" "Haven't

Camilla remained clutching her teapot handle and glaring through her glasses while the tiain thundered past, each set of wheels playing tbe same tune upon the joints of tbe rails, car after car. "Oh, it's gone by!" she breathed, setting the tea-pot down with a dispirited gesture. She saw the last red lights showing like dim rubies through her curtains.

Both women listened. The practiced ear of the station-keeper knew that the train was making a siding, that it stopped while the switch was turned, that the thunder which followed was bumper crashing against bumper as the train tack. Its hisnn: snd grinding, and tbe extra for which it must be mak-

high Miss auas rwym»r«. u«u

As to Northwick's personality—well

Miss Raymart felt at first that she would die rather than do such a thing, but she afterward reasoned that the streets would be dark before the business day ended, and—and—was he not the brother of good Mrs. Easterly So she kept the appointment, and aid not have to wait an instant, for no sooner was she half way between two street lamps than Northwick crossed the street, raised his hat, took Miss Raymart's hand aud placed it in his arm. Then there was much low talk, all by the gentleman, for it sounded so delightful that the young woman could not oring herself to interrupt it. Her heart danced so tumultuouBly that she was sure her companion must hear it her face burned so hotly that she could not be too grateful that had taken the precaution to double the veil. The interview was short, but when the couple separated Miss Raymart had heard

nightlong,

Miss Raymart made no secret of her desire that all this might come to pass. Was she not talking with the msn who loved her—could she not freely open ber heart to him The more she confessed ber fondness the stronger became Northwick's passion and the more ardent bis words and manner. Whether he had seriously contemplated marriage at all may be question open to doubt, but that Raymart would ever become wholly bis own by sny other method be felt satisfied was impossible and so, his infatuation having completely overpowered him, be was willing to do anything but be publicly known as tbe husband of a saleswoman. The girl was quite willing, on ber part, to be married sectetly and lead a double life. She would wait patiently for years, if necessary, for the social differenoo between tbem to be changed for were not bis family to be bers, snd should sb® do anything to offend tbe pride of those to whom her husband was dear? But tbe marriage sbe insisted^ on arranging for herself, even to tbe ex test of selecting the Minister, snd she insisted upon being married in the church.

The day for the ceremony found Miss Raymart at ber work In tbe establishment were sbe was now manager, for she daied not do anything that would arouse tbe suspicions of bear own family. It was a busy day, for Baster was approaching. and Miss Raymart bad to employ additional assistants and Instruct tbsm rapidly In tbsirdutier. Sbe found time, however, to read tbe letter whieb never failed to come from ber lover. As she tamed bar eyes from it, however,

_for a moment, to answer a question by a girl she had just engaged, she was almost paralyzed by having tbe precious missive snatched from her hand by her new astistant, who exclaimed

He was utterly unlike the young men clerks, mechanics and nobodies gener al—whom she met in the humble social circle in which she lived, He was always cleanly shaved his clothes fitted him and were never old, while his manner—oh! she never had seen anything like it, even on the stage.

From thinking only occasionally of Mr. Northwick to thinking about him a great deal was a change that did not take much time, but she explained to herself that she could not help it, for did not the sightly fellow come to the store with Mrs. Easterly two or three times a week—did they not always visit the counter where she sold children's play things, which thby bought in large quantities for the inmates of an orphan asylum in which Mrs. Easterly was interested, and did he not frequently look at her, always respectfully, never offensively, but always adoringly, and with such expressive eyes, too

There could not be but one result of a girl like Miss Raymart looking at a man like Norman Northwick, aqd it came all at once to tbe seller of playthings, she loved Northwick—first she suspected as much, and very soon after she was so sure of it that she did not question herself at all. Then she had tormenting doubts as to whether the mutual regard would ever come to anything for although she bad read dozens of stories in the Shop-girl's Own, of rich and fashionable men marrying poor but beautiful women, she could not recall any experience of the kind as having befallen any of her acquaintances.

But her doubts were soon allayed, for one day, when Mrs. Easterly had turned away from the counter a moment, Northwick slipped a note under a Noah's ark on which Miss Raymart's shapely hand rested. She saw it, blushed prettily, and lost no time, as soon as the couple had turned away, in stealthily devouring its contents, which were respectful in the extreme. They contained a declaration of intense regard would the lady do Mr. Northwick tbe hdnor speak a few words to her in private If be might not be formally introduced, owing to their lack of common acquaintance, would she not do him the honor to meet bim after the store closed, in front of a reputable row of residences which he specified, and allow him to say what hecould not write? He begged to assure her that his intentions were entirely honorable.

As to Northwick's personality—well, had driven him from me,

coolly: "Come with me, please." The two entered the little cage called by courtesy an office. Miss Raymart helped—almost threw—her new assistant into a chair, and whispered: "What do you know of Norman Northwick? Don't be afraid to tell me."

The girl burst into tears and answered: "He is the father of my little girl—he is my husband—that is, in the sight of God. He promised to marry me, and 1 had driven him from

OC __

—my little da'rling who

neversaw her father, yet every day asks where he is and why he doesn't come home. Give me my letter—please do?"

Miss Raymart sank into ber own chair and dropped her head upon her hand. Her assitant tried again to get the letter but Miss Raymart held it tight. Finally the manager said: "You must marry him to-night." "God grant!" said the girl, fervently. Then there was long whispering and many tears.

That night, according to arrangement Norman Northwick approached a modest church from one direction, and from the other came a figure that he recognized, from the dress, the cloak, the hat, even the veil, were those which Miss Raymart wore that evening when first Northwick told the handsome saleswoman that he loved her. The couple locked arms, entered the church, passed up the aisle of the dimly-lighted buildiug, and stood at the rail behind which was Miss Raymart's own pastor. Behind the couple walked a figure unseen by either of the couple. Tbe ceremony was short, for the clergyman was of a denomination which has no iormal retual of marriage. "Norman," said he,'"do you take this woman, Ellen, to be your wedded wife, to love and cherish her, and her only, while you both do live." "Yes," responded Norman, manfully. "Ellen, do you take this man', Norman, to be your wedded husband, to love and cherish him, and him only, while you both do live?" "Yes," was feebly whispered by the bride. "Then I pronounce you man and wife what God has put together let no man put asunder. Let us pray."

The prayer was long and earnest, so the groom fidgetted—he was not accustomed to listen to prayers. As the petition continued, however, he became calm and attentive. Every man has a conscience, and the old clergyman found Northwick's to that young man's great discomfort. Nevertheless, at the word "Amen,'"Northwick embraced his bride and raised her veil to kiss her. As he did so he started violently and exclaimed

Northwick looked from one woman to the other and stood irresolute sbe who bas suffered longest stood down-cast and trembling, tbe other stood erect and whispered: "Must 1 desise you?'' "No!" exclaimed the bride, raising ber face quickly. "No one shall dare despise my daughter's father."

Then Northwick caught his wife in his arms and seemed unable to let her go. When be finally had succeeded, Miss Raymart was gone, and Northwick neversaw heragain. All tracoofher was lost except that next morning ber employers received a note sajlngshe was mi 9 lhA nniv
