A. JOLLT WIZARD.
Oh, a wizard dwelt in a cave by the sea.
And a dreamer of dreams was he.
The wild waves roared as they broke on the
shore.
Gave him mirth and Jolity,
For he'd people the rocks and the sounding
deep
With fantasies weird as the products of sleep.
Ob, he dreamed of a maiden fair as a star.
Who came o'er the rolling sea
On the snowy crest of the billow's breast;
With airy head walked she ;
And her face was as white a* the driven snow,
And her voloe was line music sad and low.
Oh, she sang of love, and of lover's pain.
And she sang of a dream so sweet
That had urged her soul to a desperate goal,
For the sake of a wild heart-beat.
For the lover she loved In her fondest dream,
Was false as the glitter of brook and stream.
Oh, the wizard dwelt iv the cave by the sea,
And a dreamer of dreams was he.
Through phantasies sad and phantasies glad.
He kept his jolity ;
"For a dream Is a dream, and not life," quoth
he,
"But love which Is Ufa ne'er a dream oan be."

How to be a Hostess.
SOMK SABE ITJSG ESTIOKS WHICH MAT BE OB
SERVED WITH ADTAHTAOE.
Mrs. Sherwood In the Ladles' Home Journal.
A hostess baa go very charming a posi
tion, if she is amiable, one wonders she
should ever peril it. by being unamiable.
She is, in ber hour of hostess ship, perhaps
at tbe acme of a woman's ambition It is
her place to see tbat a number of people ate
well fed and happy. She is the person of
all others to whom every gentle, sweet
emotion, every grateful feeling turns. A
Hostess at a pretty country house is very
much to be envied, and she oan, without,
much effort, mike everybody bappy. A.
hostess io the city can become an enoimous
sooial power, if she has tact and a certain
intelligence. She becomes tbe envied of
women and the admired of men. Tbat sbe
should ever ÜBe this power to make herself
disagreeable is most amazing. If we had
not seen it done, we could hardly believe it
possible.
A hostess should never reprove ber ser
vauta in the presence of ber guests. AH
that worties bei mast, be carefully oouoeal
ed from tbem. It is ber pi >co to oil the
wheels of tbe domestic anciicery so that
nothing shall jar. It is quite impossible in
A'neric* that such a Sbt ot trained servants
could be obtained who sboad make tbe
domestic wheels move without jarring. But
the hostess must not appear to notice it. If
she is disturbed, or fluttered, or miserable,
who can enjoy anything?
This necessity for calmness on the part
of a hostess is well satirized in an old-fash
ioned novel called "Ooil," where the hero
writes to his sister, ' Learn to be perfectly
unmoved at your own t >bie. even if your
cook sends up stewed puppy." And an old
post eulogizes the calm hostess, who is—
"Mistress of herself, though China fall.,'
There is no such utter mistake as to lose
one's temper, one's nerve, one's oomposnre,
in company. Society may be a false condi
tion of things, but, whatever its faults, it
demands of a woman the very high virtues
of self-command, gentleness and composure,
politeness, coolness and serenity. Good
manners are said to be the shadows of vir
tues.
But they are virtues. To be polite is a
virtue of tbe very highest order.
Arrested a Thief in Uhtn-ch-
Ha Was Engaged in the Sukday School
When the Police Caught
Him.
St. Louis, Feb. 24 —An artest was made
shortly before 11 o'clock yesterday morning
iv the Rev. Dr. Brank's Central Presbyte
rian church during the Snnday school ser
vice. It created all the more hubbub fir
the reason that tbe person arrested was an
active and zealous member of the congre
gation and tbe Treasurer of the Sooiety of
Christian Endeavor of that c mgregation.
Tbe arrest was made by detectives, and
their prisoner was Mr. Burke Brocehus, a
young man of education and prominence.
They walked into the church just as the
Sunday school classes were about to be dis
missed, and found the young man they bad
been seeking deeply absorbed in the exer
nises. They stepped up to him quietly ami
rapping him on the ehoulder, asked if he
•'as not Mr. Brocehus. He replied iv the
t.Cirroative and immediately changed color,
lealizing that something was wrong.
''We are polic officers," whii-pered Hir
rington, "and you must accompany us to
the station/
The prisoner became very nervous, and
looking at the officers appealingly, said: "I
iloii't understand you," He bad been wrap
ping a piece of paper aroond one of his
linger*, aud just as he started out with the
fficers he threw the paper on tne floor.
Brocehus stole a diamond ring valued at
$800 and a gold watch from a guest of a
fashionable hoarding house. The ring was
found in the piece of paper he threw on the
flour. Hv confessed his orime.
