Anna Elizabeth Leavitt Lowne Made her a bonnet of elve brown Made it herself, for this maiden knew There was mrbne could make it with taste as true, Trimmed it with russet to match her gown And her gloves were as neat as the best in town. Proud of her handiwork, frank and free, Anna Elizabeth called to see Ada Louisa, her friend so true, Who had purchased the beautiful Peacock Blue. Ah I you have come for a walk with me And to envy my elegant drew,'' eaid she. jAnna Elizabeth felt no more ^roud of the pretty dress she wore Said toherself, There is nothing mine Of so brilliant a color or half so fine." ,But the neat little thrush, with its notes so clear, "Need have naught from the peacock so proud to fear. Wide Awake. Pat's Bath. It "was a cheerless day, and rainy. The children were anxious for something to do, because their mother was away, and so were getting both nervous and quar relsome. & Just then the door opened and in came rDick. He was the tease and torment I of the family, but he happened just now to be in good humor. The girls flocked round him. Where had he been? Who had he seen Was it ever going to be pleasant and sunshiny again? "I've been ever to Pat's," said Dick and he's fixed up nicely, I can tell you." How is his leg Is it getting well asked Pansy. "He's up, but he can't walk yet. I tell you he's a funny fellow, and just as ready to laugh when he's in pain as to cry. Before he came to this country, he was at service with an Irish Earl," and it's fun to hear his stories about the great house and the great people." "Let's go over there," suggested Pansy, and every face brightened. They turned to Aunt Ellen. She did not ob ject, so off the little group started. Pat's room was over the stable. Being a very ingenious man, he had filled it with various little ornamonts that gave it a great interest in the eyes of the young people. Pat's curtains, Pat's pictures and Pat's stove were all admired duly, and then iell silence. Pat himself, with his shock of red hair, bristling beard and mustache, was interesting because he was an invalid, and had his light leg in a cast of plaster. He had fallen from a ladder a month bofore, and, as he had few relations able to help him, Mr. Wood, whose coachman he was, had consented to his remaining there. The poor fellow dread ed a hospital above all things, so his two sisters between them nursed him, till now he was nearly well. Dick broached the subject of "ould Ireland," and Pat's eyes sparkled. Com ing out ot a smiling reverie, he said Did I iver tell ye how 1 took a gin teol bath for the first time "Oh, Pat! is it a story?" cried Pansy. "Sure and it isa story of the ould castle where I was in sarvice before I came over to America. "You see it was hot I was, afther a hard day's work, and many's the time I'd seen the Arrl in the cool of the aven ing come out of the little bath-house down by the river as frish and bright as a red herring. Ses he to me, ses he, one time: Pat, would you be liking to take a cowld bath in the bath-house "'Bath-house, is it?' ses I, 'sure ye've been fincing the river in.' Not quite,' says the Arrl, laughing, 'it's better than the river, though, and 4 I thought ye might like to refrish your- self.' 'Thanks,' said I, 'if ye'd be plazed to tell me how.' With that he laughed harder, show ing all his white, handsome teeth, and he walked with me to the door, took the kay out of his pocket and unlocked it. Do ye see that pig up there he asked. Not a sign of a pig,' says I. He meant a wooden handle, and he showed me. That's to hang your clothes on,' says he. 'Clothes, indade,' says I to mesilf I'd rayther kape 'em on.' 'Them little plugs down there,' said the Arrl, you must pull out for the wa ther to come in.' Och, indade,' says An' if it's showering ye wants, take hold of the string yondher.' "'Showering?' said I, not letting on that I didn't understand, showering it is, to be sure.' I'll lock the door and take the kay,' said he, wid a twinkle in his eye that you'll not be disturbed." But how'll I git out says Oh, I'll be back in ten minutes or so.' *i Very well,' says I, and oft'he wint. So I takes off me shoes and stock ing, and for the rest, says I, you didn't ketch this chap taking could for the want of clothes. So I jest stoops, an' I pulls out the plug, an' laid it on the ground. "Well, the wather came pouring in, and it filt mighty nice on me feet, but it wasn't slow a comin', at all. Faix, by the time I'd got ready to wash me hands, if it wasn't half way up to me knees, and there I was in me clothes. "An it kept pounn' an' pourin', and like a fool I'd left the plug on the flure and when I wint to find it, faix, it wasn't there. Och, and wasn't I in a nice fix, an* the wather pourin' over the tub and on the floor of the little room, growing higher and higher, till it got above me knees. "Pretty soon I sees a handle that screwed on, an' faix, I turned it. Och,by by the powers, the wather come splash in' an' roarin' higher and fasther, till there I was floundering nearly up to me middle, an' no help fur it. "All'of a suddihl I sees a rope hang ing down nearly over me head, and I minds me of the Arrl's showerin'. Thinks I to mesilf, that mebbe lifts up some thing to let the wather down, so I just pulls it, an' would ye believe it, the river got on top of the ruff and comes pouring through till I thought I'd be choked and strangled intirely. Didn't I pray to the vargin and all the howly saints, but niver a bit would they hear poor Pat, and the wather drowning me entirely. I could nather fell Il1#^^gi:Tk*\&? open me eyes nor me mouth, an' the wather running into them both, as fast as it could pour. "Jest thin somebody hollers out "'Well, Pat, are ye most through?' '"Through, is it? cried I, widout opening me lips through! It's through I'm soaked, besides bein' choked to death. If you don't git me Out of this, it's dead I'll be intirely.' Why, what's the matter, Pat said the Arrl. and it's choked he was wid laughing, I could till that, and it made me mad. 'Matter!' says I Here's the whole river down upon me, an' it's smodtherin' I am intirely. Faix, it ain't fair!' 'Pull the string,' says he. Och says I, and didn't I pull the sthring, and git kilt for me pains Sure it'll be murder, and niver a chance for a prosecution Let me out I' "At this, the Arrl laughed till the blood b'iled in me body, but all to once I noticed that the blessed wather was lowerin' an' prisintly it went fasther and fasther, till I was free Pat once more. Then the masther let me out, as wet as a drowndedrat,andtoldmetheah, but I'll not call the good Arrl names that I was welkim to take a bath as often as I liked. So always afther that when the folks wanted to taze me, they'd ask me did I want to take a bath How I should like to see an Earl! said Pansy, sighing. "Sure, an' ye'd see nothing so very grand," said Pat. He wasn't half the man Misther Wood, yer father, is, for he was one-sided and crooked, and he'd,POTATOES a squint in his eye but, for all that, he was a kind masther." "But he lived in a castle," said Pansy, reluctant to give up her visions. Och, an auld stone ruin wid scarcely a dacent room in it. Ye'd freeze to death, Miss Pansy, in the great rooms, wid a small fire behint the screen. An' all the stairs was stone, and some places the wather ran down the walls almost as fast as it did in the bath." Couldn't he repair it?" asked Pansy, Pat shook his head. "Aye, it took the money to do that, Miss Pansy, and sometimes we'd not see a penny among us for many a week. We raised the pigs an' the stock wid what we growed, and my lady, Miss Cathy, had the chicken money to buy her anew dress once a year or so. I ixpict the father of ye's could buy him out, castle and all, and niver feel it at aK." "And was Lady Cathy very beauti- ful?" asked Pansy, clinging to a straw as her illusions vanished, one by one. Beautiful, do ye say? Ah, she'd the squint in the eyes of the ould Arrl, only twicet as bad, an' she couldn't hold a candle to you, Mi&s Pansy, or any of yer sisters. Beautiful! and Pat leaned back in his chair and laughed, while Pansy went home more thoughtful than usual, because her idea of an Earl and an Earl's daughter had not been real ized.Youth's Companion. Sensations of Freezing to Death. A Western woman, recently restored to consciousness, describes the sensa tions attending freezing to death, as fol lows: 'Thousands of colored lights danced before her eyes the roar of a thousand cannons was resounding in her ears, and her feet tingled as if a million needle points were sticking into them as she walked. Then a feeling of drowsiness came over her. A delightful feeling of lassitude ensueda freedom from all earthly care and woe. Her babe was warm and light as a feather in her arms. The ah- was redolent with the breath of spring. A delightful melody resounded in her ears. She sank to rest on downy pillows, with the many cold red lights dancing before her in resplendent beauty, and knew nothing more until she was brought to her senses." We have accounts of how it feels to be drowned and hanged, but to freeze we think is preferable. Those who contem plate suicide might do well to pay some attention to the freezing method. Rescued from Death. "William J. Coujrulin, of Somerville, Mass., i says: "In the fall of 1876 I was taken wittta VIOLENT BLEEDING OF THE L.UNGS followed by a severe cough. I soou began to lose my ap petite and flesh. Was so weak I could not leave my bed. In the summer of 1877 was admitted to the Hospital. The doctors I said I had a hole in my lung as big as a half dollar. I was so far gone a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of DR. WM. HALL'S BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS. I laughed, thinking my case was incurable, but I got a bottle iO satisfy them, when to my surprise I commenced to feel better. My hope, once dead, bsgan to re vive. I write that those afflicted with Dis eased Luags will be induced to take DR. WM. HALL'S BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS, ad be convinced that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. I have taken two bottles and can positively say it has done more good than all other medicines I have taken since my sickness. Sold by druggists. THE last words of a dying photogra pher, Now keep very still." Those of a dying ferryman, "I'm going over the river." Those of a dying barber, "I'm going to curl up and dye.

This is furnished by Mr. Wm. Will, 1613 Frankford Ave., Philadelphia, Pa.: Some time since I received a se vere injury to my back, by falling against the sharp edge of a marble step, the stone penetrating it at least a half-inch, and leaving a very painful wound. After suffering for a time, I concluded to apply St. Jacob's Oil, and am pleased to say that the results exceeded my expectations. I speed ily allayed all pain and swelling and continued use, made a perfect cure. I really think it the most efficacious liniment I ever used.
