THREE MINSTRELS.
Phe minstrels sing ;it dawn and dark.
Atvl through ti*.j slumbrous, golden
noon.
The dove, the robin, and the lark,
Here at the threshold of th ' .luua.
At dawn the robin's matin song
Is first to wake the dreaming notes.
And while its changes still prolong
The Augelus rinys clear and strong.
Prom out a myriad yellow throats
Then, as the daylight waxes dim.
The wood dove coos its vesper hvmn,
The robin at the early dawn—
The lark at noon—at dark the dove—
Three minstrels—but the thenm is love.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Col. Augustus Chopleigh. Into of
her majesty's Indian army, lived in
stately r> iremeut upon lib anus little
-state in one of the pleasantest of the
home counties. 1 rom an outsider a
point of view, tho colonel seemed to
possess most things which are gen-
orally considered to constitute mun-
dane happiness. His liver had sur-
vived pawnees, curries and a tropical
sun intact; his income was ample; he
belonged to two or three good London
slubs: ho had an excellent collar of
wine; ho was respected by h:s neigh-
bors and worshiped by his tenants,
and lie rode to cover on the best of
cattle. Yet w'th all this tho colonel
had two eternally grinning skeletons
in his cupboard.
The first was the possession of a
ne'er-do-well son anil t«)o second was
the noil-possession of a wife.
•^'Augustus (Topleigh, jr.. although a
no'or-do-well in the .eyes of a parent
who was more rigid and precise than
jiemoatgent'omen who have breathed
Ihu atmosphere of barracks canton-
ments during the best part of their
lives, was after all but an ordinaiy.
■'•every-day young man." lie bet a
little, it is true; ho belonged to a club
where play was sometimes high o an
avening; he could drink his claret like
a mac; he' was a connoisseur in
o gars; ho possessed two or three long
tailors' bills, and he was given to
staying in town sometimes for a weeK
at a time.
Still after all. what could be ex-
pested of a high-spirited young fellow
who had received a first-rate educa-
tion and was therefore unfitted for
any serious walk in lire; who was
good-looking, who dressed well who
found life at stately Dum Hum hall a
tittle monoto.ious at times and who
bad a handsome allowance at his dis-
but in tho eyos of the colonel all
these little peculiarities were heinous
crimes, and the poor old gentleman,
Why can't we love each other openly
There's nothing to be ashamed of in
tt."
■For more than one reason, my
darling. I've a bad reputation down
here; all fellows in country places
have wlio go up to town, belong to a
•lull, dk'ivo down to Ascot, taice me-
dlcinal B and S's and soon. If the
old man were to know that I was
spooning you he'd rush oil to >out
father and warn him- If your father
were to know he'd rush otT to mine
and tell him that I wasn't a tit aspir-
ant for the hand of his daughter.
••Is your father such a terrible old
gentleman, then'.' \\ hat is he like:
have neve • seen him."
••No. I don't suppose you have. He
fights shy of anything with a petticoat
on it. l'vo known him to cut a good
run short because there were ladies
alone with him in the same field, and
ho was afraid that in case of accident
he'd have to assist them, lie s a tall
old fellow, with a fresh comploxion
and a grav mustache, and always
wears shepherd's plaid trousers, sum-
mer and winter. Why, what s t ie
matter?"
•Oh, dear! Oh. dear! Don't go on.
Gus. plea<o don't or I shall die of
laughter!"
•Why. what is thereto laugh at,
Mlllicent? By Jove, if you saw him
in a temped you would not laugh.
• Why my dear Gus—he's—lio s
love wiih me!"
••The old boy—my father—In love
with you! Nonsense, my dear, non-
sense. 1 say! Why. lie's more afraid
of a girl than of an earthquake or a
boa constrictor, or anything. W hat
upon earth makes you imagine that
ho is in lovo with you. Millie.'
• Why. every day when I como
along hero ho is walking in the gar-
den. I've always supposed him to be
the steward or some ono. And lie
makes such eyes at me! Oh. you d

ROM ANCE
Ills Debt Which Wu Canc«l*U. and How

xv l.ondon medical man relates
riecidedly romantic experience which
happened to him recently. A
patient wlio owed him £o0 failed in
business, and the debt had long been
canceled and forgotten, when on the
evening referred to, two strangers, a
lady and gentleman, presented them-
selves in tlio medical man s consulta-
tion room.

speaking with an American accent,

talked so much about it that boforo 1
got off that sofa 1 sa'.u to myself,
"'That doctor shall bo paid.' "
Thereupon tho visitor presented a
malacca cane, the handlo of which
was enclosed in a morocco case. On
opening this the recipient of tho gift
found the cane had a beautifully
carved ivory handle, which was stud-
led with jewels, consisting of small
rose diamonds, eighty or ninety in
number, worked into fanciful shapes
representing small birds, fish, and
other ob ects. and hero and there a
ruby, emerald and amethyst. I he
writer expresses the pleasure it will
afford him to show the editor tho jew-
eled cane. This, however, was not
all; for tho American visitor insisted
on'supplementing his present with a
plot of land in America, with the re-
mark, "It is worth a hundred now,
and If you stick to it, it will soon be
worth double.
The Twill-lied-
The twin-bed seems to have
come to
Stay, and will, no doubt, in time, suc-
ceed the doubl
bed in all rooms occu-
pied by two persons. As a matter of
economy and space it is not practicable
in every family that each member
should have a separate room. Hut it
is exceedingly desirable that each
member should sleep in a separate bed.
So high an authority as the- liOndon
Lancet, in a recent article* condemned
the double bed as unwholesome. It
said in efi'oet that no two persons could
sleep in this way regularly for a period
of any length without one or the. otlier
feeling evil effects from it. The
more lymphatic, robust person is
sure to draw nervous force
from the more delicate and
more nervous person, and it is not un-
common for both to rise up
morning jaded and dull, whereai
would have risen refreshed and Invig-
orated had they slept in separate beds.
The twin-beds offer a complete remedy
for tl.ese evils, while tlicy occupy but a
trifle more space than the double bed.
This twin arrangement consists of two
beds, which are Intended to be placed
side by side, and the design of which
is usually incomplete unless they arc
so placed. A separate spring mattress
and bod clothing are provided for each
bed, and the sleeper enjoys the perfect
restfulness of a separate bed. A
voung person may sleep beside an aged
one in such an arrangement without
danger of the injurious effects which
are the result of their occupying the
same bed. This arrangement is recom-
mended by health and fashion at pres-
ent.
