and poverty clutched with iron grip his whole existence, as if they would throttle even the faint ray of hoje that sometimes sprang up in his heart, and looked long and lovingly into the pale but beautiful face of the girl who had given up parents, home, and everything that had made life happy, to become hia wife. As she stood there, Ler soft white arms twined lovingly around his neck, and her deep hazel eyes upraised to iris, he saw that she had been weoping, and around the wan, drooping lips that in the happy bygone days were so often raised, .pouting merrily the while, to bo Mssed by his own, there were traces of P16-' Eichard Irwin shuddered as he drew line nine, yiejtung lorm more cioseiy 10 him, and, as her head nestled confidingly on his claviele, his face was bent forward, and he wept bitter, scalding tears of pain to think that his wife, Clytie Stiggins, Boston bom and bred a girl who habitually read Emerson, and whose essay on the theory of horizontal cleavage in red sandstone was only excelled by her paper on tie fauna of the pliocene period should be reduced to eating pie in the morning. And while he was wrapped in these painful memories Clytic raised her head from his bosom. One glance told her ail. "You are suffering, my darling," she said. "Can you not tell me, your wife, of your 6orow?" "It is nothing," Eichard replied, kissing her tenderly. "Lemon pie, too," he murmured, in hoarse, agonized tones, as his lips left hers. "My Ood! This is terrible." But, mastering his emotions in ah instant, he turned again to Clytie. "It'a of no upe, sweetheart," lie said. "I have walked the streets for weeks vainly searching for work. Winter is coming on, and what is to become of us is more than I know." "It is always darkest before" the dawn, my precious," she murmured, "and, no matter what betide, I have you," and drawing his face to hers she kissed him in a wild, passionate, grab-the-ehair-if-you-want-to-stay-there manner, that reminded him of early days on the North Side. "But you can't eat me," be began, and then stopped suddenly, saying softly to himself : "I don't know; it might come to that. Lemon pie in the morning!" and he sank into a chair. Just then a noise as of some one dragging himself slowly and wearily up the stairs was heard. Presently it caased, and a messenger-boy kicked open the door, and, walking to where Eichard Irwin sat, handed him a telegram. He tore open the envelope with trembling hands and read the message, the boy looking over his shoulder to see that everything was all right. "We are saved, Clytie," ha said in low, broken tones. "Your father is dead, and all his mackerel fishery is yours." "Yes," murmured the givl, kneeling beside the chair on which her husband sat. "We are saved by acaathopterygian fish of the scomberoid family. Its body is fusiform, its first ordal fin continuous, and its branchiostegal rays are seven in number" and then, looking up suddenly, she saw that the man she loved so well, and for whom she would have sacrificed her Ufa, was lying cold and pulseless across the chair. She had talked him to death. ii 1 -a.i n-i i . OLDEST SETTLEMENTS XY THE TmiTED STATES. The oldest permanent European settlement within the present' limits of the United States was made at Saint Augustine, Pla., in 1565. Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, Capt. Francisco de Coronado and Don Antonio de Espejo, explorers of New Mexico, occupied, temporarily, various points in that region between the years 1540 and 1583.

The plats worked like a charm, and the editor, frbm comparative poverty, has soared up to positive affluence. Texas Sift-inga.

THE BAD BOY.

"See here, you coon, you get out of here," said the grocery man to theJbad boy,- tis he came il the store with-his facefttilaelr. ard shying, n't want White boys break me up bid enough. "0, philopene," said the bad boy, as he put his hands on his knees and laughed so the candy jars rattled on the shelves. "You didr.'t know me. lam the same boy that omes here and talks your arm off," and the boy opened the cheese box and cut off a piece of cheese so natural that the grocery man had no difficulty in recogniiang him. "What in the name of the seven sleeping sisters havo you got on. your hands and face ?" said the grocery man, as he took the boy by the ear and turned him around. "You would pass in a ool ored prayer meeting, and no one would j think you were galvanized. What you ! eot nn snoh outlandish rte for?" 1 v ' "Wall, I'U tell you, if you, will keep watch at th door. If you see a baldi headed colored man coming along the street with a club, you whistle, and I will fall down cellar. The bald-headed colored man will bd pa. You see, we moved yesterday. Pa told me to get a vacation from the livery stable, and we would have fun. mo'idng. But I don't want any more fun. I know when I j have got enough fua. Pa carried all the light things, and widen it come to lifting, he had a crick in the back. Gosh, I never was so tirec. as I was last night, and I hope we have got settled, only some of the goods haven't "turned up yet. A drayman took one load over on the West Side, and delivered them to a house that seemed to be expecting; a load of household furniture. He thought it was all right, if everybody that was moving got a load cf goods. Well, after we got moved pa said we must make garden, and he said we would go out and spade up the ground and sow peas, and radishes, and beets. There was some neighbors lived in the next house to our new one, that was all wimmin, and pa didn't like to have them think he had to work, sc he said it would be a good joke to dhguise ourselves as tramps, and the neighbors would tliink we had hired, some tramps to dig in the garden. I told pa of a boss scheme to fool them. I suggested that we take eome of this shoe-Macking that is put on with a sponge, end black our faces, aud the neighbors would think we had hired an old colored man and his boy to work in the garden. Pa said it was immense, and ha told me to go and black up, and if it worked he would black hisself. So I weat and put this burnt cork on my face, 'causjit would wash .off, and pa looked at me aud said it was a whack, aid for me to fix him up too. So I .got the bottle of shoeblackins: and painted pa so he looked like a colored coal heaver. Actually, when ma saw him she ordered liim ff the premises, and when he laffed at her and acted sassy, she was going to throw biling water on pa, but I told her the scheme, and she lei; up on pa. O, you'd a dide to see us out in the garden. Pa looked like Uncle Tom, and I looked like Topsy, only I aint that kind of a colored person. We worked till a boy throwed some tomato cans over the alley fence and hit me, and I piled over the fence after him, and left pa. It was my chum, and when I had caught him we put up a job to get pa to chase us. We throwed some more cans, and pa come out and my chum started and I after him. and pa a'ter both of us. He chased us two blocks and then wo got behind a policeman, and my ohum told the policeman it was a crazy old colored man that wanted to kidnap us, and the policeman took pa by the neck and was goiag to club him, but pa said he would o-n "hfvmfi and behave. He was offul mad, and he went home and we looked through the alley fence and saw pa trying to wash off the blacking. You see that blackiner won't wash off. You have to wear it off. Pa would' wash his f ace with soap suds, and then look in the glaas, and he was blacker every time he washed, and when ma laffed at him he said the ofinlest words, something like 'sweet spirit hear my prayer,' then he washed himself again. I am going to leave my burnt cork on, 'cause if I washed it off pa would know there had been somo smougiag somewhere. I asked the shoe-stor-a man how long it would take the blacking to wear off, and he said it ought to wear off in a week. I guess pa won't go out doors much, unless it is in. the night. I am going to get him to let me go off in the country fishing till mine wefixs off, and when I get out of town I will wash up. Say, you don't tliink a little ; blacking hurts a man's complexion, do you,' and you don't think a man ought to get mad because it won't wash off, do you?" '0, probably it don't hurt the complexion," said the grocery man, as he sprinkled some fresh water: on the wilted lettuce so it would look fresh while the hired girl was buying some, "and yet it is mighty unpleasant, where a man has got au engagement go to a carol party, as I know your p& has to night. As to getting mad &bqpt it, if I was your pa I would take a brel stave and shatter your astle scaft(lalously. i
