COMFORT.
BY D. F. RANDOLPH.
One autumn eve, before the mellow day
Had met the night and faded thence away,
And in the western sky there lingered still
Soft tints of,purp1e, gold and daffodil, ,
And while the mountain-peaks was tipped
with light,
Once more, ere shadows stole it from my
sight,
I strolled in a sequestered burial-ground,
And on a crumbling tablet there, 1 found
This quaint inscription, marking all alone
A little grave with weeds and grass o'ergrown:
“Who plucked that flower ?” the angry gard-
ener cried.
“The Master,” hastily his mate replied.
“Thereat the gardener paused and held his
peace.” '
Ah! you, who from your sorrow seek re—
lease, _
And you, whose hearts with grief are crush—
ed to—day
Because ydur darling God has called away,
Are not the angels whispering unto you
These simple words : “It was the Master too?”

ING STEAMER—YEARS arranwaans m: wuss
mm Lovn wiruonr RECOGNIZING HER.
A Rochester correspondent of the New
York Times tells a romantic story which has
just ended in a happy marriage. In October,
1869, James Fry, the traveling agent of a
New Orleans business hodse, started from St.
Louis for that city on the steamer Stonewall.
The buy on board took fire and burned, and
a fearful panic ensued. A few} only. of the
passengers clung to the steamer, in hope that
aid would reach them before the fire forced
them to take their last chance in the river.
Among these were a family of three persons .
evidently father, mother and daughter, the
latter apparently about 15—young Fry, and a
young lady, apparently 17 or 18 years old.
Of all who had .jumped into the river, the
light of the burning vessel showed only one
here and -there, struggling in the water or
swimming away,the river having closed over
the others. _Those who remained on the
deck hastily rolled Overboard several bales of 1
hay which the fire had not yet reached to be
seized, if possible, if they were com elled
to take to the water. The main spar ‘was
burned down and fell‘into the river before
the fire drove the last person from the steam-
er. The flames at last wrapped the entire
vessel about, and the passengers, who were
huddled together about the guards were
forced to jump. 'The family mentioned
above sprang into the water, clasping each
other’s hands. Fry and the other young lady
followed them. Fry was a good swimmer,
and reached the spar. As be grasped it, the
young lady who had jumped with him came
to the surface near him. He seized her and
helped her to the floating timber. The girl
who had disappeared with her father and
mother also came up within a short distance,
and Fry at once went to her aid. He suc-
ceeded in assisting her to the spar. She
never saw her father and mother again.
Fry moved the spar with comparative ease
by swimming behind it and pushing it. This
gave him the idea of attempting to reach the
shore with it and save the girls, the youngest
of whom was rapidly becoming exhausted.
He told them what he intended to do and
begged the girl to summon all her courage,
as he would surely save her. This was the
moment when the three men were driven
from the bale of hay by the burning oil. The
men at once attempted to reach another bale
a few feet from them, to which four others
were already clinging and which was barely
sufficient to sustain their weight. Two of the
men sank before their 'objcct was gained.
The other swam to the second bale and tried
to seize hold upon it. The four who were
supporting themselves with this bale fought
against having the added weight of the fifth,
as it would swamp them all. Three times
they pushed him away. The pale, terror-
strickeu faces of the struggling men were
plainly visible in the glare of the flames.
Each time the fifth man was repulsed he re-
turned to the bale, begging for a place to
hold. The fourth time he succeeded in
seizing hold of one corner of the bale. The
hay began to sink. One of the four who had
possession of the precious bale was an Ital-
ian. He drew a knife as the bale was going
down and plunged it in the breast of the man
whose weight was taking their only hope
away. He fell back and disappeared beneath
the water.
This terrible scene was enacted within five
feet of those on the spar. It was more than
the girl could bear, and she fainted away.
Fry supported her in his arms, and hastily
telling the other young lady to cling to the
spar until he returned, he started for the
shore with his burden. He reached it in
safety, and giving the girl in charge of peo-
ple who were helpless witnesses of the fear-
ful scene in the river, returned to render aid
to the young lady he had left. He was gone
only a few minutes, but during his absence
the four men on the bale of hay had been, in
turn, driven off by fire, and were all drown—
ed. A boat had also reached the scene from
Neely’s Landing. Out of the 200 passengers
and the crew of twenty, only thirty-five were
saved. The girl rescued by young Fry was
sent to Toledo, Ohio, where she said she had
friends.
A year ago last month Fry was in Cincin-
nati, transacting some business for a house
in St. Louis,in whose employ he has been'for
several years. An acquaintance of his insist-
ed on taking him to call at the residence of a
friend one evening. He met there and was
introduced to a Mrs. Richmond, a widow of.
great personal attractions. She had been a
widow for three years, and was then only 24.
She was visiting at the house where Fry met
her, her home being in Chicago. Fry fell in
love with like. Richmond. They correspond-
ed for several months, when the traveling
agent made the young widow an offer of
marriage, and she accepted it. A day 'early
in the present month was selected for the
wedding. Fry went to Chicago the last of
November. A few days before the wedding
he and his betrothed were laying out a route
for the wedding tour. She told him to select
any route that pleased him, the traveling of
which did not oblige them to travel any dis—
tance whatever by water. She manifested
such horror of traveling by water that Fry
was curious to know the cause of it. His as-
tonishment may be imagined when she re-
lated to him the terrible experience of the
night of October, 27,1869, on the Mississippi,
during the burning of the steamer Stonewall,
on which she was a passenger, and at which
time her father and mother were drowned.
Mrs. Richmond was none other than the girl
of fifteen whom Fry had rescued on that
‘memorablc night. By the sad death of her
parents she had been left with a few thou-
sand dollars, but no near relatives. At the
age of nineteen she married Frank Richmond
of Chicago, a dealer in wheat. He became
bankrupt, and died in 1875, since which time
she had made her home among his and her
friends.

A Loaf from the Record of John
Sherman. '
The results accomplished by John Sherman,
going back even to the beginning of his pub-
lic life, have been all child and substantial,
and always on the side of the people, either
to extend and perpetuate human liberty, to
save the Nation’s treasure by preventing its
wasteful expenditure, or to" build up,
strengthen and preserve the Nation’s credit.
The ever-watchful, careful and fostering
management of the finances of thecountry
by Mr. Sherman, in the United States Senate
and in the office of Secretary of the Treasu—
ry, have done more to augment the growth of
the Nation, and the prosperity and happiness
of the people, probably, than the efforts of
any other man.
He has carried his country safely through
a most trying financial crisis and placed her
credit at the head of nations.
On questions of finance it is not to be
doubted that Mr. Sherman stands highest in
the estimation of financiers and business men
of the United States, and on those questions
they consider him the foremost man in the
‘Nation. '
Before his financial record became so per—
fected and conspicuous, he was considered,
and was, while a member of the National
House of Representatives, the foremost man
in advocating the principles of the Republi—
can party.
Mr. Sherman is a progressive statesman,
and respects the rights of all citizens, with-
out inquiring into their nationality, religion
or race.
zes the fact that the American Nation is still
growing; that its borders arp wide; its re-
sources immense and inexhaustible; that
newcomers should be made welcome; that
their coming and staying will aid in develop-
ing those resources, and that they will con-
tribute to the growth and wealth of the Na-
tion. '
Mr. Sherman presents the highest type of
an American Statesman; his views are broad
and liberal; he believes this Republic is
destined to live a long life ; to develop 11 mar-
velous growth; to become the molder of
Republican sentiment for the people of all
nations, and eventually to stand protector of
human rights _and liberties throughout the
world.
John Sherman is not great in financial
concerns alone. He. is great in his business
methods—in his grasp of details as well as
wholes—and in the results he obtains. He is
a close, hard, worker, and his great blows,
and constant, ceaseless blows are struck al-
ways on behalf of the Government. in aid of
the country’s honor, glory and ECONOMY, or
in support of the weak, the Oppressed, the
unfortunate and the poor.
John Sherman’s agency In fitting each
plank and fastening it to the Republican
platform, and in shaping the policy of the
Republican party, has been powerful and
leading. He led in opposing the extension
of slavery from his advent into public life,
and he battled manfully against the disunion
sentiments just prior to the war of the re—
bellion of 1861. During the continuance of
that rebellion he was a wise and safe coun—
selor in all measures for its suppression, and
few men exerted a more potent influence in
behalf of the Union than he.
Being himself industrious, with perfect
consistency, few have donc‘so much to re-
ward and encourage industry, to provide
employment for laboring men, and to insure
them honest money for their labor.
The New York Tribune thus cruelly
holds the Edmunds movement up to ridi-
cule:
“It is fortunate for Senator Edmunds that
he has no presidential longings. If he had
they would be “doomed”. The indefatiga—
ble destroyers who made Charles Francis
Adams an impossible presidential candidate
by making him ridiculous, and who sent
Mr. Bristow at a rattling pace into political
retirement by supporting him for president,
have now seized upon Mr. Edmunds.
decline to pay any attention to his own dec-
laration ,that their support annoys him,
since he is not a candidate. “We knew that
all the time,” they cry; “that’s the reason
we support’him. We know well enough he
doesn’t want the ofilce. Nobody who is fit
for it ever did want it.” Mr. Edmunds has
the sympathy of the country. His long and
valuable public service ought to exempt him
from a fate at once so remorseless and so
ridiculous.”

A man. now a prOmincnt merchant of Vir-

won at poker an undeveloped gravel claim

and asked him what proportion of the taxes
he would pay in-case they accepted the prop-
erty as a gift. He finally got mad at their
incessant guying, and told them they would

for before he got through with that mine.
that he had a claim worth a fabulous sum
which he would Sell for $2,000, being hard
pressed financially. The bank was next vis—

AT 6 CENTS PER QUART,
House Cleaning.
-In ordinary seasons it is possible to disturb
only one of two rooms at a time, but these
are times when it is economy to give paint-
ers and kalsominers full swing and rush the
process of renovation through without delay
possessing one’s soul in sweet patience
meantime and rejoicing in the joys to come.
Dismissing all philosophy but the purely
Baconian let us discuss the subject in its
most practical form. Where hard finished
walls have already been kalsomined, the
soiled coats should be washed or scraped off
before a new one is put on. This is the most
disagreeable part of the process. The furn-
iture should be covered, as lime makes spots
that are removed with difficulty, especially
upon black walnut. Those who have tried
paint on walls of rooms speak very strongly
in its favor. It closes up the pores of the
plaster so that it cannot absorb ill odors, it
can be easily cleaned with soda and water,
(soap and water makes its spotty) and it
can be made of any desired tint. Perhaps
some of our readers do not knOw what ac-
tive};absorbents paper and plaster are and,
how, when they become thoroughly saturat-
ed with various efi‘luvia, nothing but entire
renewal will‘clcanse them. The Chinese
understand this so well that they will re-
plaster a room, furnishing labor and mater-
ial for the old plaster which is removed and
used for fertilizing purposes. Insects find
no harbor in painted walls as they do in‘
papered walls, and when onbe the paint is
dry there is no question about the poisons
used in producing desirable tints. Before
paint or kalsomine is applied to walls every
crack and crevice should be filled with plas-
ter or a cement made of one part water to
one part of silicate of potas mixed with com-
mon whiting. For the kalsomine put a
quarter of a pound of white glue in cold
water. over night and heat gradually in'thc
morning until. dissolved. Mix eight pounds
of whiting with hot water, add the dissolved
glue and stir together, adding warm water
until about the consistency of thick cream.
Use a kalsomine brush and finish as you go
along. If skim milk is used instead of wa-
ter, the glue'm'ay be omitted. In washing
painted walls it is a good plan to-remove
from the room everything that can be injur-
ed by steam and then hang sheets wrung
from hot water in the room. The vapor
condensing on the walls- softens the dirt and
it may be wipedoff with woollen cloths
wrung from soda water. Ceilings that have
been smoked by a kerosene lamp should be
washed off with soda water. It the walls
about the stove has been smoked by the stove
cover the black patches with gum» shellac
and they will not strike through either paint
or kalsomine.
Furniture needs cleaning as much as other
wood-work. It may be washed with warm
soap suds quick,ly wiped dry and then rub-
bed with an oily cloth. To polish it, rub it
with rotten-stone and sweet 051. Clean of!
the oil, and polish with Chamois skin. For
ordinary wood-work use whiting to rub the
dirt off and ammonia. Mortar _and paint
may be removed from window glass with‘
Grained wood should
be washed with cold tea. Carpets should be
thoroughly beaten on the wrong side first
and then on the right, after which spots may
be removed by the use of ox gall or ammonia
and water. If paper has been laid under
the Carpet all dust may be easily removed
with it without raising any. The warmth
of floors is greatly increased by having car-
pet lining or layers of paper under it. Drain
pure may be cleansed with lime water, cop~
peras of water or carbolic acid. Copperas
mixed with the whitewash put upon the
cellar walls to keep vermin away. Strong
brine may be used to advantage in washing
bedsteads, hot alum water is also good for
this purpose. Oil of lavender will drive
away fleas. Hellebore sprinkled on the floor
at night destroys cockroaches; they eat‘it
and are poisoned. Cayenne pepper blown
into the cracks where ants congregate will
drive them away. The same remedy is good
also for mice. If gilt frames when how are
covered with a coat of white varnish all
specks can be washed off with water without

Three Cents Worth.
I. D. C.
There was three of them in the party, and
three raggeder specimens _of the New York
street gamin it would have been difficultto
find.
They stood in front of the largest and4
finest Broadway drug-store windows looking
enviously at a huge jar of rock candy placed
therein. ' - '
There was evidently a discussion of some
sort going on among them which could only
be definitely settled by going inside; which
they finally did in single file, the oldest and
brightest a lad of perhaps eight summers in
As they entered a, well dressed clerk came
forward and asked rather; impatiently what
“Now mister, do you make. new a penny's
wor't o’ rock-candy" inquired the boy.
“No! we don’t make no penny’s worth of
rock-candy. ' Get out !" replied the clerk.
A disappointed look overspread the dirty .
faces of thethree as they flied out of the
building, and: once more took their stand

Another long consultation was had before
they once more invaded the store.
Iulsingle'file _as before, they marched in.‘
There was .an anxious look on their face this
time as the same ..clerk came forward and
asked, “Well, what-do you want, now.”
“Now mister. Do you make, now, t’ree
cents wor’t 0'. rock candy ?"
‘ The clerk was not an ill natured man, and
as he looked at the trio of. anxious faces he
thought poor little devils, it would be a treat
to them, and patronizingly remarked, “Yes,'
I’ll make you three cents worth.”
Instantly the anxious look changed to one
of sad regret, as the spoksman remarked :
“Well, we ain’t got dc tree’ cents," and
with a sigh the three marched out into the
busy street again, and were soon lost in the
crowd, leaving the clerk lost in wonderment
at the ways of the street Arab of New York-

ans.
The new hotelon Rockaway Beach is to be
huge in all its details. One thousand work—
men and one hundred teams are engaged in
its construction, and, with the aid of elec—
tric lights, the works is continued day and
night. The framework of the top story is
being put in place. The contractors who
will provide the furniture and carpets must
deliver the goods in May, and by the first of
June the hotel will be ready for business.
The building is to be four stories high, 400
feet deep in some places and 1,130 feet, or
nearly a quarter of a mile, in length. This
is five times as long as the Windsor Hotel or
either one of A. T. Stewart's stores. Its
front porch, extending all along the front
of the house, is to be '70 feet wide. Another
porch, on'the bay side of the house, will be-
30 feet wide. Above the ofiice floor there
are to be between 1,000 and,1,100 rooms
to accommodate.I.500 .permanent, gusts.
The dining room for these guests is to be in
the second story, and will be 200 feet long
by 75 feet wide. The owners assert that
they have ordered furniture that will make
this as elegant and comfortable as any din-
ing room in New York. This dining room
and the great parlors on the same floor are
so arranged that they can all be thrown open
to form the gigantic saloon. The whole of
the ground floor, porches and all except the
space occupied by the office and the cigar
stands and bars, will belone immense dining
or refreshment hall, but it' will be divided
into several rooms. This .is for the tran-
sient~custom. The bars will be a feature
peculiar to the place. There are to be at
least two of these, 100 feet long, one on
each end of the building. There will prob-
ably be another bar in the middle. It will
require the services of 40 bar-tenders to do the
expected business of thesebars.
Alreadya pier 500 feet long by 185 feet
wide has been built into the bay, and lead—
ing to it and to the new railroad depot there
isa covered promenade 100 feet in width.
The proprietors are new building gas works
and there are to be water works whichwill
supply 400 rooms with running water. In
' connection :with the water works, there will
be a means of suppling steam to the build—
ing. There are fire-places in many of the
rooms, for, like the Atlantic House at Cape
May, this hotel is to be open all the year.
It is built so that two—thirds of it can be
closed, leaving only an ordinary large hotel
for the accommodation of the cool weather
guests.
The investors in this scheme have purchas-
ed a tract of land 700-feet below the Neptune
House, the first landing for Cornel White's
summer boats. The hotel is being built on
the surf side of this tract. The same persons,
under another organization, are also building
the ,new railroad from Hunter’s tPoint, by
means of which the journey to the beach
will be performed in twenty-five minutes.
This will be completed within the next sixty
days.
The hotel is shaped like the letter E, the
central structure having the appearance of
dividing the building into three parts. This
will be surmounted by a tower, witha great
balcbny around it. It will take 35,000 yards
of carpet to cover the flooring of the upper
rooms, and the parlors will require nearly
1,000 yards. The general plan of the new
company comprises extensive drives and
grounds arranged by landscape gardeners.

The PICSIdéntlal Outlook.
The New York Times, which is doing its
utmost to defeat the nOmination of Mr. Sher-
man, has not discovered, with its sharp, pry-
ing eyes, a single flaw in his long public
career showing that he was ever dishonest,
untrue to his country or his more immediate
constituency, or even shrank from .or failed
to do his whole duty in every position
which he has filled. Surely it must be ac—
knowledged that he is the most successful
man who has held the ofilce of Secretary of
the Treasury since the days of Alexander
Hamilton. The Times says he is ambitious
to become President. Very likely, but are
not Grant and Blaine equally so ? Is Sher—
man sulfering from the indiscretion of some
of his friends and admires? So are, Grant and
Blaine. On several sides we hear of efforts
put forth in behalf of all three which come
as unwelcome news to us, but are the men
themselves to be blamed for the questionable
methods of their supporters? If so, then
Grant and Blaine are te be blamed quite as
much as Mr. Sherman.
The question recurs, after all, who of the
three is‘the most deserving of the nomination
and the ofiice; and whose record is the least
faultless to lay before the country? These
are the questions which should be asked and
answered. and no one should delnde himself.

Chanson A. Mange.
BY R. H. STODDARD.
Respectfully dedicated to the Norwalk
Cooking Club. .
When a man who long has tan-led.
Thinks at last of getting married,
He must first catch his hare,
As Mrs. Glass recommends;
That is, among his female friends,
He must select a Fair!
Fair, of course, and also young,
With a most distingue air;
Up in all the ’ologies—
Theologies, elhnologies,
Outologies, doxologies;
But able, too, to hold her tongue,
Having learned the lesson olden—
“Speech is silver, silence golden."
He for many things will look,—
Beauty, as I said before,
Manners pleasant, temper sunny,
(All the better, if there’s money).
But he’ll look for onething more—
Namely, "can the lady cook P”
Does she know the mysteries
Of roaSts and boils, and broils and fries ?
Can she beef and mutton roast?
And potatoes boil and mash?
And—out of nothing—make good Hash?
Can she nfake bread that he can eat—
Not heavy and sour, but light and sweet?
Pics and cakes—among her many makes,
Can she make him Buckwheat Cakes?
If she can’t do this at all,
His chance of happiness is small;
For, grant that he loves Music—Art.
And feels that she is most bewitchlng;
If she means to keep his heart,
She must keep it through the kitchen 1
For man’s song is now—d’ ye see ?—-
“What care I how fair she be,
If she cannot cook for me ?”
Listen, ladies, if you please,
I'll tell you how to win with use
Any—every—man you like,
Sure every time of a Ten-Strike!
Theway to win a man, 0,
Is not by the piano;
Nor, and of all your teaching,
By operatic screeching;
Nor by painting pictures,
On which Cook passes strictures;
No' :'~but deeper-looking,—
By doing Well what he does ill-—
I mean superior Cooking-ll .
For better than 1'.- pianist,
Although. in" Art a scientist;
And better than a singist,
.Whose "voice the heavens wingest ;
And better than a playist, '
Or any other thingist,
(Choose what thouwilt, thou mayest)—
Better than the best lookout,
Better than the best booklet——
Is she whom man adores so—
The happy, happy Cookist!

First Time at Church.
Just three years old i and without a thought
of all the rites and creeds ;
Just three years old! and unconscious quite
of the soul’s unbounded needs;
Qy from
Content it should draw what life it
the food on which it feeds.
Just three yefis oldl and brought to church
to sit in the‘narrow pew,
And wonder at all the mysteries that rise
before her view—
The noiseless movement down the aisle; the
crowd, and the faces new;
The organ that peals out magic strains,though
hidden from the sight;
The arches, and windows of pictured glass
that tow’r to such a height;
The eagle that bears the Bible up; the choir
in their robes of white.
To wonder and watch with childish awe that
is more than mere surprise,
That seems to catch in the tones of earth
some echo of the skies,
And reflect itself in the tender face, in the
solemn, wide gray eyes:
Out of whose cloudlcss, dewy depths glim—
mers the earliest ray
0f the awak’ning love,whose dawn heralds a
fuller day,
When, though the shadows may darker lie
the mists will melt away;
When the types shall find their antitypes,
and the mysteries be made clear,
"Though the deeper mysteries beyond will
gather yet more near,
Awaiting a new and brighter dawn e'er they
shall disappear.
Just three years old I and brought to church,
though she can take no share
In the praises rising to God’s high throne, in
confession or earnest pray'r;
Brought but to learn the reverence due to the
awful presence there.
Just three years old i with folded hands, she
kneels when the others kneel;
And surely the blessing which falls on them
may also gently steal
Over the innocent baby head, bent down in
mute appeal.
From the Argosy.
, LOVE’S SECRET.
_ Read by Boyle O'Reilly at the ladies’ meet-
ing of the Papyrus club, Boston.
Love found them sitting in a woodland place
His amorous hand amid her golden tresses;
And Love looked smiling on her glowing
face
And moistened eyes upturned to his cares-
see.
“0 sweet,” she murmured, “life is utter
bliss;"
“Dear heart," he said, “our golden cup
runs over ;”
"Then drink," she cried, “and thank the
gods for this!”
He drained the precious lips of cup and
lover.
Love blessed the kiss; but, ere he wandered
thence.
The muted bosoms heard this benediction :
“Love lives within the brimming bowl of sense :
Who keeps this full has joy—«aha drains,
afllfctz‘ou.”
They heaid the rustle as he smiling fled;
She reached her hand to pull the roses
blowing;
He rose to take the purpled grapes o’erhcad ;
Love Whispered back: “Nay, keep their
beauties growing.”
They paused, and undeistood; one flower
alone
They took and kept, and Love flew smiling
over.
Their roses bloomed, their cup want brim—
ming on.—
She looked-for Love within, and found her
love.
