KN OWING.
BY JULIA -C. R. DOBR-
an summer day, to a young child I said,
“Write to thy mother, boy." With earn-
est face,
And laboring fingers all unused to trace
The mystic characters, be bent his head
(That should have danced amid the flowers
instead)
Over the blurred ,‘pagc for a half-hour’s
space;
Then with a sigh that burned all the place
Cried, “Mainma knows l” and out to sun-
shine sped. .
0 soul of mine, when tasks are hard and
long, .
And life so crowds thee with its stress and
strain _
That thou, half fainting, art too tired to pray,
Drink thou this wine of blessing and'be
strong!
God knows! What though the lips be
dumb with pain,
Or the pen drops? He knows what thou
wouldst say.
Rather too Outspoken.
“Now, Leslie, you must be sure and come
around to-morrow evening, for I want to pre-
sent you to my old school friend, Ethel-
Glenn,” said Mrs. Fanny Alvord to her
brother, Leslie Wingate. “She is so accom-
plished and so lovely no one can help liking
her.”
“Blonde or brunette ?",laconically inquired
Leslie.
“Blonde of j course—golden-haircd, blue-
cyed,‘a queenly form, sings like an angel and
speaks several languages fluently.” ,
Leslie shrugged his shapely shoulders dcp<
recatingly,and said perhaps he’d come—could
not promise positively though as a girlof that
sort was likely to prove rather tiresome to a
man of his vivacious temperament, and he
hardly thought it possible for him ever to
really like so superlatively learned and beau-
tifu! a person as Miss Ethel Glenn was said to
be. .
And with this somewhat equivocal reply,
Mr. Leslie Wingate took leave of his sister,
and set out for a stroll down town.
But he had scarcely gone half a square be-
fore he met an artist friend, Owen Southard,
who invited him‘to his studio to see a picture
which he had just finished.
Leslie complied,and they entered a passing
street car together. The sole passenger be-
sides themselves was a tall, fine-looking lady,
who sat in a corner furthest from the door,
and appeared to fake not the slightest notice
of their entrance.
She was strikingly fair, with sea-blue eyes,
and hair more flaxen than golden, which'shc
wore in a profusion of carelessly arranged
curls and crimps. »
Leslie turned to his companion, and said,
in indifferent French : ‘
“Handsome and stylish ; but bleached hair,
to a certainty."
“It is wonderful what art can do in these
times,” laughed Owen. “But how the deuce
is it done ? That peculiar pale amber tint is
not easy to paint, I assurcyou, however it be
in regard to the more common—place process
of bleaching."
“Oh, that’s a secret known only to a favored
few,”-rcjoined Leslie; “and I, for one, never
hope to fathom the mysteries that go toward
making up the outward attractions of what is
called-a beautiful woman.”
“Nor do I," replied Owen, “for it’s a sub-
ject, I am free to confess, quite beyond my .
humble ability to solve.”
The lady continued to gaze out of the win-'
dow in adreamy, pro-occupied manner, as if
in nowisc conscious that she was the object of
their critical remarks, or was at all conversant
with the French language.
' Presently she rose to leave the car. Mr.
Wingate’s cane, held loosely in his hands,
rather hindered her exit, and he hastened to
apologize for his thoughtfulness.
“I beg your pardon, madam.”
“Il n’y a pas de quot, monsieur,” she
sweetly replied in the purest Parisian
French.
Wihgate’s face grew crimson, and Owen
looked as if he wished the .earth might open
and swallow them up, right there and then.
“A thousand pardons!” stammered both in
a breath. It was very stupid and thoughtless
of us.”
“N importe 1” she smiled. “Que meets
stupid people everywhere! ” and with this final
and unanswerablc rejoinder uttered in a tone
of the utmost sweetness, the lady alighted
and the car went on.
“What a precious pair of idiots she must
think us i” gasped Leslie. “Her French was
faultless, and what a countenance she kept
while we_were criticisingjherihair and eyes in
such a beastly, ill-bred manner.”
“A confoundedly unpleasant contrctemps! ”
vexatiously admitted Owen; “and it is to be
earnestly hoped that we may never see her
again.”
“Oh, we are not likely to do that, for light-
ning, they say,never strikes twice in the same
place; but it will be some time, I give you my
my word for it, before I again venture to my
opinion of women and their charms~borrowed
or otherwise—in sopublic a conveyance as a
street car.”
The following evening,notwitbstanding his
half-hearted promise to do so, Leslie went to
see his sister, with the determined resolve
underlying his well-assumed indifference of
making himself as agreeable as he possibly
could to her friend, Miss Glenn.
“Oh, I am so glad you came 1” cried Mrs.
Fanny, running to meet him ; “Ethel is here,
and I want you to behave your very best, for
I have been telling her what a good and hand-
some fellow you are, and I do not wish her to
think that I have knowingly overestimated
your enviable qualities.”
“No fear of_that," conceitedly assured Les-
lie, “for when I choose to be agreeable you
know I can be,thongh your friend be the
most exacting of”—
“Shl" cautioned Mrs. Alvord, unceremoni-
ously cutting short the gentleman’s self laud-
atory remarks. “She is coming. Miss Glenn,
let me present to you my brother, Leslie
Wingate."
A lady, in..a dress of pale blue silk, and
with amber-tinted hair and large, intelligent
eyes,as blue as meadow violets, swept through
the open doorway.
Leslies expressive countenance,from a self-
satisfied flush of pleasure, grew as red as a
boiled lobster, and he looked confusedly at
the floor, unable tospesk a Word The lady
smiled demurely.
“I am very glad to make the acquaintance
of Mr. Wingate, although I had not thought
so soon to meet the gentleman who was so
good as to point out publicly the consummate
art with which I presume to' counterfeit na~
tare.” ’ '
“For heaven’s sake, be merciful! " exclaim-
ed Leslie. "I could shoot myself for having
the audacity to speak as I did, though it were
in French,” . .
“And such atrociously :bad French as it
was, tool” pitcously reminded Miss Glenn,
with just the faintest shadow of contempt
perceptible in her voice.
Mrs. Alvord looked heri'amazement.
“Who, what in the world are you two pco-
pic talking about, I’d like to know, for I can
make nothing out of it!” she asked in great
bewilderment. -
"Perhaps not; but I think your brother
can," said Ethel, with a half-laughing glance
over her shoulder, as she turned to months
room. ‘ ,
Aslsoon as she was-out of hearing, Leslie
:ruefully explained "the deuced awkward
scrape" he had got himself into by Speaking
out at a time when common sense should have
warned him that the better part of wisdom
was to remain silent. ‘
“Oh, was there ever anything‘so vexing ?”
bewailed Mrs. Alvord, when she came to
fully comprehend the situation. “I had set
' my heart on your liking each other, and now
my. plans are spoiled. Ethel is worth a quar—
ter of a milliOn, and is so good, and amiable,
and beautiful, besides being so rich; and you
with your horrid French, to-ruin everything,
and she the best linguist in the city ! Oh, it
is too bad—upon my word it is l”‘
“It is, indeed,” glnmly acknowledged Les-
lie. “I don’t blame Miss Glenn for despising
me, or writing me down, as she certainly
must have done, an egregious prig.”
“And served you right, too! Bleached
hair. indeed! Who would think you capable
of uttering such a slander, under any circum-
stances, much less to a lady’s very face, and
that lady Ethel Glenn ?” sharply rejoined the
justly angry Mrs. Fanny. “She will never
forgive you, Leslie, never!” -
Leslie, however, being a hanndsome, engag-
ing, good-natured young fellow—in his own
opinion, at any rate—did not despair of ulti-
mately establishing himself in the good graces
of the heiress, and laid siege to her affections
with 'so much energy and determination that
his effort might have resulted in success had
it not been for that unfortunate conversation
of his with Owen Southard, the day he first
saw her in the street car.
Ethel» did not again allude to the unpleasant
' subject, and Mrs. Alvord. as well as her
brother, hoped she had forgotten all about
it, or remembered it only as a more thought-
less bit of harmless pleasantry, but when
Leslie, offered her his heart, hand and for-
tune, she, gently but firmly, declined the
honor.
His fortune did notamount to much. Mr.
Wingate was well aware of his shortcomings
in that respect, buttherc was no end of his
love and devotion, and he felt quite sure that
nowhere on the earth could Ethel find a bet-
ter husband than himself if she would but
accept of his name and the prior inducement
therewith :tendered, and insuring both his
own and her happiness. _ .
' But Ethel was not to be persuaded by any
of Leslie’s pretty speeches. “Because” as she
afterward told a friend, "‘I want my husband
at all times and places to be a gentleman, and
that, I knew, Leslie Wingate was not.”
Long Island Bluefishing.
New York Herald.
Trolling for bluefish is ancient sport to
Long Islanders, but most of the fish are
taken in nets. and the details of thebusincss
are little understood by the general public.
The “catch” this year is unusually good
and the fish have brought large prices. The
season opens about the middle of June for
hay fishing and for outside or ocean fishing
from the middle to the last of August, and
it closes in the last of October, and then the ,
codfishing season begins. One reason why'
the fishcrmen have done better this year-
than formerly is because they have only re-
cently become familial with the habits of
the fish and learned how to find them in
deep water. Most of the fishing boats now
carry fish pilots, who are stationed at the
masthead. These men are sharp-eyed and
often discover fish unnoticed .by amateur
sportsmen in five fathoms of water. When
the fish lie in bunches they are asleep and
. the fishermen row up to them with muffled
cars and rowing‘around them throw the net.
As soon as disturbed thé fish arise, scatter
and run into the net. ‘In this way from two
to three tons of fish are frequently taken at
one haul. W here large catches are made the
fish are disembowled as soon as caught,
packed in ice and sent to market the same
day. Old fishermen say that they often see
immense numbers of bluefish in the water,
packed in a space no larger than an ordinary
dwelling house, and so closely together that
it would seem as if a knife were brought
down on the heads of the top row would
sever the heads of the whole school to a
depth of twenty or thirty feet, the entire
mass of fish being like the walls of a build-
ing. Boats trolling for fish pass over a dozen
such schools and never get a bite. For many
years it was the general belief that bluefish
spawned in the bays. Long Island fishermen
say it is an error, that they spawn in the
deep water of the ocean. They lie close to
the bottom and when the eggs hatch then
the young fish ascend to the bays. If they
are about to make a journey, they will
gather in schools and start for the beach as
if they intended to get ashore. When the
first school reaches the beach they turn and
put back to sea, or perhaps swim many
miles down the coast, followed by other
schools. When they are moving in this way
many are taken by throwing squids from the
beach.
Oftentimes several days elapse before any
more are seen in these parts. Many fish are
taken by the process known to fishermen as
“chumming.” A large quantity of “moss
bunker" (menhaden) are cut into smal
pieces and thrown abroad. If there are any
fish in the vicinity they are attracted by the
oily bait and caught with a drop line and
squid. One of the advantages of bluefishing
is that it requires no “book baiting.” One
of the most successful bluefish trollers is
Henry Irens of the eastern;cnd of the island.
During the season he may be seen ofif Mon-
tauk alone in a small boat, with five lines
out, and the waves running high. He has
but one arm, but he handles his five lines
skillfully and keeps his boat right side
up with remarkable case. When a fish
is hooked he holds the tiller between his
:knees and hauls ' in the fish by winding the
line around the stump of his arm. So long
as the fish bite he" continues fishing, while
amateurs are obliged to rim 'in for the shore.
Early in the season many whales are seen off
the Long Island coast. It is said that they
are attracted by the blue fish, upon which
they feed. They seem to know the habits of
bluelfish, and will follow them for a long
distance while they are following the men-
liaden. When whales are arcund the fisher-
men can do little with their acts, as the fish
get badly scattered, and they then use their
trolls. Blue fishing is often attended with
great danger. Most of the fishing crews are
the best surfmcn on the coast, and at the
close of the season they are employed in many
of the life saving stations.
Mother.
Who can be compared to a mother? The
Bible gives the first place to a mother’s joy
and to a mother's grief; and the Bible is as
true in this as .in everything. “I don’t see
how any one can live without smother!”
says a young daughter who, while herself
a mother, has a daughter’s sense of depend-
ence on her mother. And life is always
darker, and this world is always lonelier,
when onc’s mother is dead. - If your mother
is still living, love her, and show your love
for her, as for one whom you never saw the
like ,of, and never will'find equaled in her
place—E. 0. Trumbull .
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, who is at the Clar-
endon hotel, New York, is too sick to see
callers. During the greater part of the day
she lies in bed. Her face shows the marks
of age and sickness, and she is no longer the
picture that she seemed to be when presiding
at the White House. Her physician. Dr.
Sayre, says she is in better health than she
was last spring. She will remain in New
York for a few days only.

Discoveries inleeland.
William Lee Howard has just returned
from Iceland where he waszsent early in the
summer by the American Geographical So-
ciety in order to settle some disputed points
in the topography of that island, Monday
evening he was visited by 9. Tribune report-
er to whom he gave an account of his sum-
mer's travel. '
“I left New York.” said he, “in March
last, and went to Leith, Scotland, where a
ship was fitted out for me, and then I went
directly to Iceland. Last year I skirted the
island with a boat. going into every fiord
around it, and left some ponies there for my
use the past summer, but they had all died
in consequence of the scarcity of food. One
of the most important discoveries that I
made was in determining whether Herdubried
was a volcano or simply a mountain.
That now is sett‘ed satisfactorily to my
mind; is is a volcano. I climbed to the top
of it—6,740 feet above the sea level. The
only way to ascend for 1,500 feet was to fly
a large kite, with an anchor attached, and a
rope fastened to the anchor. After securing
the anchor to the rocks above my head I
wouldfpull myself up byimcans of the rope.
By repeating the operation many times I
made the ascent in thirty-eight hours. The
volcano is composed of three parts; the
lowest is palgonitc, the middle, and steepest
part is a basaltic cliff, while the top is lava.
This shows completely that it is a volcano,
and not a mountain. On the summit it was
blowing and snowing so hard that Iconld
not see fifty feet from me. All topogra-
phers have agreed that this was not 8 vol-
cano. _
“This was only a part of my task. No
one had ever traversed the island, but I
crossed it in four directions, The standard
map of Iceland was constructed after twenty
years’ labor by Skjolfnderfjlot,but he placed
many lakes on it and traced several rivers
that he had never seen. Of course he left
out many that I have located. During the
four months I was on the island, my :party
of fifty-six men traveled 1,754 miles, 600 of
them on foot. We worked on an average,
nineteen hours a day. During all our stay
there, it was constant daylight. Several.
times when hurried, we worked seventy-five
hours without obaining an hour’s sleep. I
laid a base line and triangulated ninety
miles along a river, traversed for the first
time by a white man; also taking many pho-
, to'graphs.
“From Hunafjordin I started for Green-
land to see if I could hear anything concern-
ing the Jeannette. On the way I met some
fishermen, who satisfied mc concerning it.
Last winter was the severest ever known in
Greenland and Iceland, and the ice did not
melt during the summer sufficiently to allow
it to come down as it usually does. This
had some advantages, for a ship could go
much farther North than ever before; but
if the Jeannette was frozen in the ice last
fall it is doubtless there now. Satisfied that
I could hear nothing more definite concern-
ing that ship we returned to Iceland, and
continued our travels there. Here, too. the
game, dogs, ponies and sheep have died in
great quantities from lack of verdure. The
population of Iceland is being constantly
crowded out toward the coast. You cannot
find a hut thirty miles from the coast in
any direction. It is safe to say from present
appearances that within fifty years the en-
tire island will be depopulatcd. They are
starving out. A curious feature of the dc-
population is-tbe taking of the Icelandic
girls to Utah. I convinced many of them
that they would soon regret their coming to
America to _become Mormons. The bishop;
of that sect are using great influence to bear
upon the Iwomen, and succeed in getting
many to immigrate.
“My reports to the Geographical Society
will be given in a lecture during the coming
winter after 1 have made a map of Iceland,
based upon personal observations, especially
concerning Herdubried and Sprecgisunde,
literally ‘bursting _sauds' a desert extending
across the island from north to south, which
is full of boulders, evidently of glacial origin
andI made many observations concerning
the movement of glaciers, which will appear
at a later time.
“I also attended the‘ Geographical Congress
at Venice on my way home.”
How to Treat a. Child’s Tears.
New York, ev cning Po st .
“Momma,” called out a little boy the other
night, after he had been snugly tucked up
in bed, and was supposed to be far on the
way toward sleep—“mamma, I’m afraid my
blouse hangs by the window and it puts
things in my mind that frightens me i"
“You are not afraid when you know‘ it is
your blouse that puts the fears in your
mind?” .
“Yes; and I Can’t help it, mamma.”
There were two ladies sitting in the room
below who heard the boy’s words. One
said: “How perfectly absurd! What wont
a child do to get his mother to come up
stairs to him ! I really think he ought to be
punished for making up such a story as
that." The other, happily was the boy’s
mother, and she said—but without going to
him: “If you are afraid of the things in
your mind you may get out of bed, light
your candle, and take the blouse down; you
can look after you put the light out and see.
that there is nothing at the window to fright.
en a good boy.”
She remembered, as if it were but yester-
day, a night, a great many years ago, when
she lay a trembling, horrified child, whose
mother Was dead, and there was not one in
the wide world to whom she dared to say
that the lights and shadows made by the
moonlight coming through a broken slat in
the blind were so frightful to her that she
could not sleep, but lay holding her breath
and almost smothering beneath the clothes.
She felt sure that her own little six-years old
boy was suffering from this same unreasona-
ble terror, at which he would laugh in the
morning when he would awake and see his
blue blouse waiting for him. The child,
taking his mother’s advice and lighting the
candle, which a kindly freak of fashion al-
lowed him to have, removed the cause of his
terror, put out the light and went back to
his bed. and in a very few minutes a pro-
found silence indicated that he was fast
asleep.
One can easily feel sympathy for what
may seem like an absurd whim in a child if
he or she has paid any attention to the liter-
ature o’f nervousness, and knows anything
of the many ways in which strong minded
men have been afflicted by hallucinations, or
have been annoyed as was the old carpenter
who, when sick, called his son to his bed-
side, and asked him to make a shelf that
was in his room perfectly true, and when
the son remonstratcd, he said, with an ex.
pression not to be denied: “Trouble’s
trouble; that shelf must be changed.” It is
to be deplored that mothers, and all those
who have the care of children, do not possess
their complete confidence, and so can encour-
age entire outspokenness, and be enabled by
the knowledge thus gained to prevent a mor-
bid condition of the mind, which it may take
years to outgrow. ._

The Origln‘ of Diptheria.
Professor Horatio C. Wood, who has been
engaged with Dr. Henry Formed in re-
searches as to the origin of diptheria, dc-
livered a lecture upon the subject before the
Academy of Natural Sciences at Philadel-
phia on Tuesday evening, 11th inst. He
stated that the disease is propagated by a
microscopic plant, or fungus, existing in . all
human beings, especially in the mouth and
throat, but lacking the power of reproduc-
tion until given increased vitality by those
disordered conditions of the mucous mem-
brane which attend sore throat when caused
by cold. This infinitesimal plant fastens
upon the white corpusclcs of the blood, and
multiplies its cells, altering their character,
until with the interior destroyed they burst,
and the plants, set loose in an irregular mass,
separate and go-off individually to continue
the destructive work on other corpuscles.
Thus increased, they poison the blood, choke
the vessels, and are found in myriad num-
bers in the spleen and bone marrow where
the blood is manufactured. Professor.
Wood’s investigations show that the false
membrane supposed to invariably indicate
the presence of diptheria may be caused by
various irritants, and is not an infallible in-
dication of the existence of the disease.
But in any crise the false membrane .is built
up by this parasitical plant which grows and
multiplies upon its inflammed surroundings
whatever may be the cause of inflammation.
It is when the plants grow strong enough to
extend to the blood, either poisoningAit
themselves, or carrying the poison with them
that diptheria sets in. This little plant is
exactly the same as found upon donated
tongue. When Professor Woogpu.
ilized matter they failed to grow, ’
plants from the throat or blood of a "
affected by diptheria multiplied rapidly.
The practical result of the investigation
pointed out was the possibility. that dipthe-
ria, if existing theories hold good, may be
prevented by artificial inocculation. In the
case of splenic fever, caught from animals,
which has been proved to originate from a
somewhat similar plant, Pasteur has found.
that the plant when exposed a sufficient time
to the air loses its poisonous character
through the action of oxygen. and when that
is introduced into the system makes the ani-
mal sick, but is no longer fatal. The deduc-
tion is that this diptheric plant, scientifi-.
cally known as “ mierococi,” may in time be
cultivated sothat when inoculated with it
the system will be no longer subject to the
diseasein its fatal form.
The Oldest City in the World.
Damascus is the oldest city in the world.
Tyre and Sidon have crumbled on the shore;
Baalb'ec is a ruin; Palmyra is buried in a
desert: Nineveh and Babylon have disap-
peared from the Tigris and the Euphrates.
Damascus remains what it was before the
days of Abraham—A centre of trade and
travel—an isle of verdure in the desert; “a
presidential capital,” with martial and sacred
associations extending through thirty-centu-
ries. It was near Damascus that Saul of
Tarsus saw the light above the brightness. of
the sun ; the street which is called Strait, in
which it was said “he prayed,” still runs
through the city. The caravan comes and
goes as it did one thousand years ago; there
is still the shiekhthe ass and the water
wheel; the merchants of the Euphrates and
the Mediterranean still occupy the streets
“with the multitude of their wares.” The
city which Mohammed surveyed from a
neighboring height, and was afraid to enter
“because it was given to man to have but
one paradise, and for his part he was resolved
not to have it in this world," is to-day what
Sylian called the “Eye of the East,” as it
was in the time of Isaiah, ,“the head of
Syria," From Damascus came the damsonl
our blue plums, and the delicious apricot of
Portugal called Damasco; damask, our beau-
tiful fabric of cotton and silk, with vines
and flowers raised upon a smooth, bright
ground; the damask rose introduced into
England in the time ,of Henry VIII; the
Damascus blade, so famous the world over
for its keen edge and wonderful elasticity,
the secret of whose manufacture was lost
when Tamerlane carried the artist into Per-
sis: and that beautiful art of inlaying wood
and steel with gold and silver, a kind of mo-
saic, engraving and sculpture united—called
damaskeening—with which boxes, bureaus
and swords are ornamented. It is still a city
of flowers and brigh wastes; the streams of
Lebanon and the “silk of gold” murmur
and sparkle in the wilderness of the Syrian
gardens.
I had some snipe on toast in Harrisburg.
I saw on a bill of Fare: “Snipe on toast,
sixty cents. Snipe on toast would be almost
too healthy food to feed people who had been
floating on a raft three weeks, feeding on
bootlegs. Says I to the waiter:
“Give me some snipe on toast.”
By and by he came in and put down some
toast, and I kept on reading. I sat there an
hour. Then I rang the gong. The waiter
entered, and says I':
“Where the deuce is my meat ?” a
Says he: “They’ve been on the table an
hour.” a .
Says I: “I didn't order plain toast ; I
wanted snipe on it.”-
Says be: “There’s a snipe on it.”
Then I drew close up to the table and I
saw a black speck on the toast,and I says:
“You’ll swear that’s a snipe P”
Says be: “Yes."
Says I: “You would make a good linen
buyer, you would.”
Says be: “It’s a snipe on toast, anyhow.”
. Says I: “How did it get on it?"
Says be: “That snipe’s all right; it’s a
full sized one, too)!
Says I: “I’m glad you told me that’s a
full-sized snipe; for, do you know, you man
when I sat out there reading, I saw a black
speck on that toast, but I took it for a fly, and
'I’m glad to be informed it’s a snipe. Now
you may take that snipe away and bring me
a turkey on toast; and I want a full-sized
turkey, too.” I ain’t hankering after a snipe
since that episode. I could have blown that’
snipe through a putty blower and not hurt
the snipe or the putty blower either. Snipe
on toast may be game, but it's a mean game,

famous scholar of the sixteenth century, was
appointed professor of Greek at twenty-one,
and Hensius of Leyden, at eighteen. At the
age of twenty-eight, Linnaeus, the botanist,
wrote his great work. At twenty-six, Cul-
ver was appointed professor at Paris. Kent,
the commentator on the American law, was

TEMBER 19, 1881.
Silence were best, if hand in hand,
Like friends, sca-sundered Peoples met:
But words must wing from land to land
The utterance of the hearts regret.
Though harsh on cars that Sorrow thralls
E’en Sympathy’s low accent falls.
Salt leagues that part us check no whit,
What knows not bounds of time or space.
The homestead feeling that must knit
World-scattered kinin speech and race.
None like ourselves may well bemoan
Columbia’s sorrow; ’tis our own.
A sorrow of the nobler sort,
Which love and pride make pure and fair;
A grief that is not misery’s sport,
A pain that bows not todespair:
Beginning not in courtly woe,
To end in pageantry and show.
The great republic’s foremost son,
Struck foully, falls; but they who mourn
Brave life'cut short, good work half done,
Yet trust that from beyond death’s bourne
That blameless memory’s gifts may be
Peace, concord, civic purity. ' ' '
Scarce known of us till struck for death,
He stirred us by his valiant fight
With mortal pain. With bated breath
We waited tidings morn and night.
The hope that’s nursed by strong desire,
Though shaken often, will not tire.
And now our sables type, in truth.
A more than ceremonial pain.
We send, Court, Cottage, Age and Youth,
From open hearts, across the main,
Our sympathy—it never swerved-—
To Wife he loved, to Land he served!

OUR. LITTLE GIRL.
“0h, mamms. momma, its half-past eight!
Where are my rubbers ? I shall be late;
' And where is my pencil? I know just
‘ where
I laid it down, but it is not there.
Oh, here is my bag, with my books all
right—
I’m glad that my lessons were learned last
night. .
And now I’m off—here’s a kiss—good by,"
And out'of the.door I see her fly.
I stand at the window and watch her go,
Swinging her school bag to and fro,
And I think of a little girl I knew
A long way back, |when my years were
few ;
And the oldvred house beneath the hill
Where she went to school—I see it still.
And 1 make for the child 9 little moan.
For her face, through the mist, is like my
own.
The hours go by—it is half past two.
And here comes Nell with‘her schoolmate
Sue;
They had their lessons; they both were
“five.”
There are no happicr girls alive. g
They laugh and shout, and to and fro
Through every room in the house they go.
The music teacher will come at four,
But they can play for;au hour or more.
It is evening now, and, with look sedate.
Our little maid, with her book and slate'
We chatter andrc'ad.
But she to be perfect must work indeed.
No need to be talking in days like'these
Of the early birds and busy bees,
There’s work enough, and (don’t you tell 1)
There’s quite too much for girls like Nell.
WHAT MY LOVER SAID. .
By the merestchance in the twilight gloom -
In the orchard path he met me—
In the tall, wet grass, with its faint perfume,
And I tried to pass, but he made no room;
Oh, I tried, but he would not let me;
So I stood and blushed till the grass grew
red,
With my face bent down above it,
While he took my hand, as he whispering
said— .
How the clover lifted its pink, sweet head,
To listen to all that my lover said!
Oh, the clover in bloom! I love it.
In the high, wet grass went the path to hide,
And the low, wet‘leaves hung over,
But I could not pass on either side,
For I found myself, when I vainly tried,
In the arms of my steadfast lover.
And he held me there andLhe raisedm
head, . .
While he closed the path before me; .
And he looked down in my eyes and said-
How the leaves bent down from the bougbs
o'erhead, 7
. To listen to all that my lover said.
Oh, the leaves hanging lowly o’er mo.
Iain sure that he knew, when he held me
fast, ’ ‘ i
That I must be all unwilling;
For I tried to go, and Iwould have passed
As the night was come with its dews at
last, '
The sky with its stars was filling:
But he clasped me close when I would have
fled, -' '
And he bade me hear his story,
And his soul came out from his lips and
said— ' ’ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
How the stars crept out from the White
moon led, ‘
To listen to all that my lover said,
Oh, the moon and the stars in glory!
I know that the grass and the leaves won’t
tell,
And I’m sure that the wind, precious rover
Will carry his secret so safely and well,
That no being shall ever discover.
One word of the many that rapidly fell
From the eager lips of my lover.
Shall never reveal what a fairy-:Iikc spell
They wove round about us that night in the
dell, .
In the path through the dew-laden clover:
Nor echo the whispers that made my heart
swcil
, As they fell from the lips of my lover.
Topnoody made up his mind that he was
not going to be bossed any longer by his wife,-
so when he went home at noon he called out
imperiously : “Mrs. Topnoody, Mrs. Top-
noody 1” Mrs. T. come out of the kitchen
a dishing tied around her head, and a rolling
pin in her hand. “Well, sir,” she said,
“ what'll y on have i” Topnoody staggered,but
braced up. “Mrs. Topnoody, I want you to
understand, madam”—-and be tapped his
breast dramatically—“I am the engineer of
this establishment. ” “Oh, you are, are you 2,
Well, Topnoody, I want you to understand
that l"——and she looked dangerous—“am the
boiler that will blow up and ~-ling the engineer

the steam escaping, Topnoody f” Topnoorly
heard it, and he meckly inquired if there was
any assistance he could render in the house-
