A Fighting OctOpus.
THE anvnxrunn or some noxs AT NASSAU IN
THE WEST moms. ‘
The octopus is, without doubt, the most
disagreeable creature to be met. with in the
ocean. They are found in nearly all the
waters, from the coast of Maine and in on
the borders of the gulf stream, to the cold
waters of the North 'Pacific Ocean. Imag-
inc 8 bag of flesh,‘ over which the waves of
color are constantly sweeping, and from
which eight arms radiate like the arms of a
gigantic spider, their undersides lined With
sharp suckers, 'and between them, where
they join the body, two parrotllikc bills. On
each side of the lower part of the bag put
two fierce green or yellow eyes, give the
whole mass at tremulous motion, and you
have a general idea of the appearance of the
octopus, a second cousin of the giant squid,
described in a former number. In size, they
range from a foot across, upward.
The largest known was seen by Mr. W. H.
Dall, at Sitka, and when spread out it meas-
ured twenty-eight feet from tip of the tenta-
cle, or arm,:to that of the opposite. Speci-
mens measuring from twelve to fourteen feet
across are very common in the Pacific, and
a re kept for sale in the San Francisco mar-
kets, and considered great dainties by the
‘ Italians and Chinese.
When of this size they are very dangerous,
and have been known to throw their snake-
liks arms about divers and bathcrs and drag
them out into deep wathr.
In 1877 an Indian woman, living at Vic-
toria, Vancouver’s Island, when in bathing
was seized by a monster octppus and was
dragged slowly into dee water and drown-
ed. She was missed some time after, and
boats were put out in search, "find the hap-
less victim was seen iu about twenty feet of
water, still held in the arms of the terrible
creature.
The suckers on the arms are 970 many air
pumps, so that when they are pressed upon
the body, a piston-like arrangement cphausts
the air and the section presses (in many
kinds) a sharp “saw-edged” bony plate, or
ring, into the flesh, making hundreds of fer-
rible wounds.
In the Bahama Islands these animals are
very common and often of great size, and
their capture affords considerable sport to
the winter visitors at these isles of summer.
The largest octopus eyer caught here
was found upon the beach at Nassau, ac-
cording to Prof. B. G. Wilden, by Mr. J.
S. George; Each arm measured five feet
and the entire monster weighed nearly 300
pounds. ~
Several years ago a party from New York
spent the winter at Nassau,and the boys, for
there were four or five had many a lively
encounter with the octopus. ' '-'
They had a fine cedar boat fitted for their
benefit ; and bow and stem were decked over
and formed air-tight compartments, while
a row of air-tight cans extended around un-
der the seats so that their craft would float
when full of water, a fact tested on many an
occasion. I
At every movement of the boat some new
wonder appeared that would have delighted
and astonished boys at the North. Every-
where great bunches of branch- coral extend-
ed thcir branches onward. Now great
mounds or heads of brain-coral appeared ten
or twenty feet across, and among them beau-
tiful yellow, lilac and brown fans and plumes
waved in the tide. . -
Curious animals, called anemones, unfold-I
ed their mouth like flowers, and the whole
none was that of a vast submarine garden,
of the most gorgeous description. Strange
fishes darted aside at their ,ap preach—gray
snappers, great red group'oes, string rays that
flew along like a bird waving their side fins
up and down, and lashing a long, slender tail
after them, and here and there ablack object
would dart away, creating a. great cloudIof
mud, showing that a turtle had been caught
napping. ‘
Sometimes they had to draw her almost
out of water, but finally the head of ‘Y'el-
low Tail Reef’l was reached, and they were
upon unexplored ground. ‘
The reef was about three feet deep under
water, and covered with small heads on
the corals known as Meandrina, interspersed
with the fans and plumes before mention-
ed.
The boat was hauled between two of the
heads, and Tom, Harry and the others were
sitting on her gunwale resting, when they.
were attracted by. a shout from Will who had
waded away over the heads. '
“Here’s a queer-looking something under
the coral l” he shouted. “Come over i"
. The boys shoved off in his direction.
“It looked like a bundle of snakes,”‘.he
continued. “Well, here goes!" and aiming
his grains at the object, Will let drive.
There was a great commotion for a mo
ment. Will clung to his seat, the pole bend-
ing and writhing about.
“I can’t see what it is i” 'he shouted.
“Come quick l” .
The boys pushed hard,,but met twenty or
thirty yards from Will, when he jumped on
a coral head with a scream, and up from the
water clinging to his legs, appeared a slimy,
writhing, clinging mass of flesh that horrified
the boys.
Will had lost his hold on his :spear, but
courageously drew his case knifc,and cut at
the monster, that had now crept up to his
Waist. ' ' '
“It is an octopus i” cried Tom, as the boat
rushedinto the coral, and seizing his spear
overboard he went, and as Harry grasped
Willie’s extended arm, and triezl to drag him
into or towards the boat, he hurled his spear
again and again into "the. creature, and (in.
deavored to push it from Will’s knee, where
it had now settled, under the vigorous blows
'or the knife. -
Two of the arms were severed in this way,
but the others clung like leeches, win ding.
about his legs doubling and twisting all the
while. . ~ ' '
Will was faint and weak. but the rest en-.
couraged him and finally. he struck a deep-
blow into the body of _ the monster and Tom
settling down almost under the water, wit
a tremendous lift tore the ugly creature from
its hold.
At, the same moment the boys in the host,
who had clung to Will, fairly jerked him into
the boat, withsomcof the arms of, the octO-v
p as still clinging to him.
1799.
Tom- was not a moment behind, as the
creature had escaped from him, and he was
likewise hauled aboard.
Will ,was badly cut; his legs, arms and
neck, were covered with round marks as if
he had been cupped, and some of them bled
badly, while other sharp bites were evidently
the marks of parrot like bills.
The water for many feet around them
still showed evidences 'of the struggle, being
as black as ink from the sepia the animal had
ejected in its tear or rage.‘
Will was determined to have the body of
the octopus. So after the water h‘sd cleared
they commenced the search, and finally the
ugly fellow—or what was left of it—was
found under- a clump of branch coral. The
boat was held over the spot, and three spears
were sent into it at once. Even now it
struggled hard, and as they lifted it aboard
the creature dragged at least fifty pounds of
dead coral with it. But ,Once in theboat it
was soon finished with a hatchet and packed
away in half a barrel, which it nearly filled,
and was found to weigh afterward 170
pounds. .
“You wouldn't believe a creature like that
would have so much strength,” said Will, as
they started for home._ “As soon as I hit it
it seemed to run up the spear. and nearly
water became black as inklund the first
thing I knew I felt something like u red-hot
band clasp my leg, and then: another, and
then I made a jump for the ‘herd’ and the
animal tried to climb upon me. I don’t know
whether he was trying to’attack me or to es-
cape; but I’ve learned one lesson—never to
‘strike’ an octOpus unless you arefi a boat."

Little Love Story.
When Nellie Ostrum and Frank Belden,
of Pittsfield, Mass, .were courting they
found time to talk about the love stories in
the magazines,but thcynot thinking that be-
fore another summer they would figure in
a real love story, with lots of broken vows,
scalding tears, revenge and that sort of
thing peppering the romance from beginning
to end. It was young Belden’s fault. The
wedding day having been fixed about six
months ahead. Miss Nellie went with her
parents to.visit relatives in Missouri. Dur-
ing the few weeks succeeding his sweethearts
departure Belden did his whole duty. He
even gave up his cigarettes and the money
he was saving1 astonished the whole bank
into which it found its way. Then, as the
local paper explains, “on the sunshine of his
love’there came a lowering cloud.” In other
words Belden began to pay attention to an-
other girl. Miss Nellie’s friends lost do time
in telling Miss Nellie all about it by post and
in post-haste, and what. Belden mentioned
as a“soorchcr" came in return mail. The
receipt of this scorcher fanned the lover's
spark of" liking for the new girl into such a
flame that he wrote to Miss Nellie, breaking
off the engagement. That was about the
time of the great Mississippi floods, but
whether the jilted girl wept such an inland
ocean the clfiniclc of the affair fails to set
forth. But in due time Miss Nellie returned
to ;Pittsfleld, and to her friends it seemed
that all the wedding cake was betrothal
heels in love 'with Miss Nellie no cue under-
stands; but he did, begged her forgiveness,
sought reconciliation and all once more ap-
parently became serene. The wedding day
w, fixed for last Wednesday. Along that
ngnesday came, and Belden, in his broad-
cloth; appea'red at the bride’s house. Miss
Nellie met the bridegroom at the door. Tak-
ing him into the kitchen, where she was
stemming strawberries, she said : :“Fred, I
am to be married next Monday, not to—day;
my future husband is now on his way from
Missouri’. Belden falls and so does the cur-
tain.

A" Washington inventor has had patented a
new kind of bank check, which he calls the
“security” check, and which. if it will do
what-is claimed for it,‘ will add to the peace
of mind of business men. It is designed not
only to prevent forgery and check raising.
but" also to defeat any attempt to collect
money on it by frequent device. The “se-
curity” check is made in two separable parts,
both .of which bear the signature of, the
drawer of the paper. One of these parts is
known as a “bank notice," and contains the .
name of the banking institution upon which
the check is drawn, together with the amount
of money called for. The other bearsrthe
names of the persons to whom the check is
payable and the amount,but witbou the name.
of the bank. This is called the “ order.”
By means of this simple and ingenious
method all fraud is prevented. The -“pay
order is given to the person entitled to the
money, and he is also furnished with a writ-
ten or verbal memorandum of the bank;to
which to apply for payment. The “bank
notice,” or remainder of the check, is at the
same time§transmitted to the bank, being a
voucher of the correctness of the “pay
order.” The whole “check is, furthermore,
stamped, so that when its parts are separated
they divide and cancel the revenue stamp.
Neither of the parts of .the check are of any
value in themselves, and could not be used
to raise money were they to come into the
possession of parties other than those cu-
titled to them. The “bank notice." slip is
claimed to be complete security in itself
againsfiany forgery or raising of the com-
panion “pay order,” as such tampering would
be instantly detected at the bank. The new.
invention can be applied to bills of_ex_change,
drafts, or any other document for the con-
veyance of money, as well ordinary bank
checks, and it can especially be used to ad-
vantage ineseuding money by mail. In the case
of meney payable on order the indorsement
is pldced on both parts ofthe check for the
information and guidance of the bank cashier
which method,it is claimed,will save, in most
cases, the delay and annoyance of identifying
the payeh- ‘ ' ' '

The democratic party in Connecticut will
continue-in a bad way if men who called
themselves leaders twenty-five or thirty years
ago insist upon holding the same rank until
time shall know them no more. There is an
anxious call, and has been for some years
back, for the young men to be given more
recognition. So far, however, the venergblc,
gra eads of the past haveIkept on dictating.

would take place before the procession of
mourners gets to the front ,gate of the come-

hearses must be employed to cart off several
political corpses, or the animate portion of
the party must insist upon riding in carriages
who haven’t a spark of progression in them
and ,who do not appear to know that they
have long since got past the sweet bye, and
party, if he attempts to run ahead, as if he

republican spectators, but after all the re-
publican party is made up 80 largely 0f
young men that sympathy goes out to

bury their extraordinary genius under the
weight of an ancient bossismm-Hartford

OARIBALDI’S sronv or‘rnn woxnanrur. an-
nunmoa or are mm. «b
At the close of thé campaiguzin the Rio_
Grande, which culminated in the assault of
San Jose of the North, Garibaldi, who had
'married his South American wife, Anita,
settled down at a place named St. Simon.
“It was there,” he said, “my dear Anita
presented mejwith our. first born. Instead
of giving him thenameof a saint I gave him
that of a martyr; he was railed Menotti.
He was born on the‘ 16th of September, 1840.
He coming into world without accident,'was
a real miracle, after the privations and dan-
gers suffered by his mother * * ‘Auita,
as usual, had insisted. on' accompanying me
in the campaign we had just made. It may
be remembered that, united with the Selv-
auians, commanded byCol. Oranah, we best
at Santa Vittoria Brig. Acunch in such a
fashion that the enemy’s division was com-
pletely destroyed. - During this fight Anita
remained on horseback amid the fire, spec;
tatress of our victory and of the defeat of
the Imperialists. *~ * ' But it was not
the same with the fight'at, Caritibani. II
have related howrnotwithstauding the cour-
age of Taxeira, our cavalry was broken, and
how with 63 foot soldiers, I‘was surrounded
by more than 500 of the enemy's cavalry.
Anita, on that day, witnessed some of the
most melancholy incidents of the war. Sub-
mitting, with regret, to the part of simple
spectatrcss of 1the,fight,. shc.urged .ou the
supply of .ammunition,:feanilig the? combat?
ants wOuld .waut cartridges. «Thefi’rc-kept
up indeed, gave_her,reason to fear that, if
‘our ammunition was not speedily recruited
it would be exhausted. With this object
she was approaching the principal place of'
the fight, when a scare of Ithccnemy's horse,
pursuing some of our fugitives,‘fell upon our
soldier of the train. An excellent horse-
woma nd mounted upon a superior horse,
Anita might have-fled and escaped them;
but her woman’s breast (contained the heart
of a hero. Instead of flying she incited the
soldiers to defend themselves, and was
suddenly surrounded by Imperialism. A
man would have surrendered; but she,
clapping spurs to her horse, with a vigorous
spring, passed through the enemy, receiving
only one ball through her hat, which carried
away some of her hair without even grazing
her skull. .She might have saved hersflf if
her horse had notr fallen, struck dead by an-
other ball. She .was obliged to surrender,
and was presented to the enemy’s colonel.
Sublime in courage amid danger, Anita be.-
.came still greater, if possible, in adversity,
so that, in presence of this staff, astonished”
at her courage, but that had. not the good
sense toconceal the triumph of victory be-'
fore a woman, she replied with rough and
disdainful haughtiness. “ * * and-fought
as vigorously with her‘tonguc as she had
with her arms. . Anita believed I was killed.
In this belief she requested and obtained per-
mission to seek my body among the slain on
the field of battle. * * *I As soon as she
felt convinced I still lived, Anita had bfi
one thought, and that was to escape. An
opportunity was not long‘in presenting it-
self. Profiting by the intoxication of the
victorious enemy, she passed into the house
adjoiug that in which she was kept prisoner,
and where, without knowing her, a woman
received and protected her. My cloak, which
I had throwu off to give more freedom to
my motions, had fallen into the hands of an
enemy; she exchanged it for hers, which
was handsomer andof greatervalue. Night
came; Anita darted into the forests and
' disappeared. It required the heart at once
of a lion and the gazelle for this noble crea-
ture to risk herself thus. Only he who be-
held the immense forests which cover the
summit of l’Espcnans with their secular
pines, which seen destined to support the
heavens, " * * and which harbor feroc-
cious animals and reptiles whose sting is
death—only he can form an icfl of the
dangers she had to encounter, of the difll-
culties she had to surmount. {Fortunately,
the daughter of the American steppes knew
not what fear war-1.. It was 20 leagues from
Caritibani to/Lages, and that through im-

rious flood, {clinging to the mane of her

Poultry—Food and- Feeding.
There is some little art, if solwe may
style it, in feeding young chicks to makes
healthful and vigorous growth while young.
Fully nine-tenths of (the mortality amongst
poultry, from sickness or disease, occurs
while the chicks are still in the “downy”
state, and the majority of this loss occurs
from improper food, and carelss or ignorant
feeding. corn-meal, which is far too gener-
ally used, is unfit for young chicks, being too
heating for their tender and immature vdigesw
tive organs. Corn~meal has killed more
young chicks than rats. The best food we
have ever fovud for young birds is stale" bread
either crumbled up and fed dry, scalded and -
fed when cool, or. else merely-moistened in ‘
fresh,milk'. ,Ethre milk is abundhutflt should
always be used, and if the;tyoungIbil-ds get
plenty of'niilk, in Some form, they'will grow
so rapidly as to astonish those who have
never given milk liberally to theii poultry.
We know of one' breeder, ‘a large daigyman
in Chester County, Penneylvauia, who feeds
the principal part of his refuse milk to his
poultry, old and young, and his birds are not
only singularlyfree from disease, but large,
and finely developed in body and feather' g.
:This brellcr gives milk the credit of it ll
but it may be due in part to cxésllent care.—

Sunday Marriage Engagements
Valid. ‘
Beading, Times.
An opinion was filed a few- days ago in
the supreme court in the case of Charles
Markeley, a bachelor of fifty-three years,
against whom Eliza Kessering, amaiden of
thirty-eight, obtained a verdict of $998.75,
in the Lancaster county court, for breach of
promise of marriage. The parties in this
love aflair lived in ‘Maytown, Lancaster
county. An engagement of marriage took
place on Sunday, the 10th day of August,
1879. The courtshiphsd been, very short,
and was minus the warmth of heart usually
displayed in such preliminaries. Indeed,
the engagement was spoken of as a most ex-
traordinary affair. Markley purchased his
lady love a number of presents, and seem:
ingly prepared for the Wedding day. What
fire was in his heart, however, suddenly
cooled, and one cyeuing he told Miss Kisser;
ing, who was a seamstress, that be guessed
he was too old and lame to get married. He
gave as a reason that his father 'was lying at
the point of death, and it would not be
proper to marry under such circumstances.
His sweet heart never spoke to him again,
but straightwsy instituted proceedings to
recover a balm for the affliction of her heart.
The jury before whom the case was tried was
a business-like one, and,by their verdict,tbey .
calculated to the very cent thejnjury Miss
Kessering had sustained. Markley’s appeal
to the supreme court was based upon severel
reasons, the most important of which was
that the alleged contract of marriage had
taken place on Sunday, and was, therefore,
invalid, the same as any other contract, busi-
ness-likeor social. made on that day. The
opinion of the supreme court in sustaining
the verdict of the jury says there was noth-
ing in any _of the assignments of error to
warrant a reversal. The case was properly
submitted to the jury, and the fact that the
contract of marriage was entered into on
Sunday could net avail, in view of the cvi;
deuce which—was overwhelming to the efiect
that the engagement had been subsequently
recognized by Markley.
_ It may not be generally knowuto lauds-
mcn, but sailors are aware that, with ast'rong
and steady favoring wind, it is possible for a
sailing vessel to equal the speed of an Atlan-
tic steamship. Mr. Benjamin, iu'his article
on “The Evolution of the American Yacht"
in the forthcoming July Century, compares
the time made by some sailing ships twenty
and thirty years ago with that of the fastest
steamers of to-day. In one of the recent
“fastest passages ever made” .by the Alaska,
her greatest ,run was419 miles-in twenty-four
hours. Before 1850, the ship Jarn'es Baincs,
built .-by- Donald McKay, run "420 miles‘
in twenty-four hours. .The ship Red

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, ’ TUESDAY,
Tue'Vanacl-bms.
' Cincinnati’GaIzetfc.
It seems but a day since Cornelius J. van.
dcrbilt was prominent before the public as a
contestant of his father’s will. Now, how-
ever, his own is the subject of a similar con-
test. Cornelius and Mrs. Berger were unitec
in the effort to k the above mentioned
will, and now t atter wants to break the
will made by her brother. ,1th a with
breaking family! Scott Lord was Cor-
ueli‘us‘s attorney in fighting William, but
now he is just as ready to fight against his
‘ recent client, and hence appears for Mrs.
Berger. What strange things are thus
crowded together in the incidents of the
day! During the opening of this battle
William 11. Vanderbilt is in Europe. It is
none of his fight, and he does; not inti-ud to
bemixed up in it. ‘Mrs. Berger, indeed.
seems to be the only member ofthe family
that contests her brother’s will,‘but the oth-
ers gave. her .cncouragemcnt,-and hope to
share the benefit. She is evidently of a
combative disposition, and wai' ouelof the
.most bitter antagonists other brother.Wil-
llama Thelold commodore has been dead
six years, and the family has been in litiga-
tion most of the time. The present actiOu
is adjourned in order to give.the parties an
opportunity to prepare their-\testimony.
There is no telling to what extent of litiga-
tionIthe old commodore’s 'esfite may not be
subject. - The death of William, for instance,
would no doubt be'followed by, .1. family
rworth' $75,000,000, and it is“ not probable
that the heirs would be satisfied ‘with any
will that might be found; Hence it is pea-I
sibls Ethat the Vanderbilt litigation may be
be profitable to the legal profession as that
connected with the J umeIl estate. _ "Speaking
cube Vauderbilts, u may tin-added th'at the.
commodore‘s only brother -.(bettcr known in
the family as “Uncle Jake") accompanied
William in his recent voyage to Europe.
‘-chle Jake," being uow~:‘l_cveuty-five, is
rather .old for a tourist, but-he is in good
has been connected with the Stateu'lsland
ferry for a lifetime, and has made a half.
million as a plodder, while his bolder and
more fortunatc'brother made fifty millions
by speculations. Perhaps, however; Undo
:Jake is just as well off, and his children will
have less to quarrel ‘overlwlicn he is'gone.
In early life he made his nephew, William,
(or “Billy,” as he was commonly called).‘a
favorite, and the latter reciprocated by tak-
ing “Uncle Jake .to England. _'William, in-
deed, has seen the time when he needed
friendly aid. Thirty years ago he was farm-
ing on Staten Island, andeas then such a
dull and unpromislng fellow that his father:
lost confidence and would} not give him a
chance in his business. William then wanted
clean of $5,000, which the,,commodor'e re-
fused, and he was obliged to obtain it on
mortgage through a Wall street broker. The.
latter, who is still living, mentioned thif to
me recently, and added. that at the time rc-
fcrred to William was a very inferior man“;
George was then the commode-rs ,favorite‘
son, and had he lived William might have
still been a Staten Island farmer. and still
needed the patronage ,of good old “Uncle
J ake.” On what small things success often
hinges!
A Texas J ournal’s Vindication of
the Yankee.
Tens sittings.
How tempera mutantur. and how. rapidly.
we mutamur in ills! It is not so long ago
that the average .Yau was regarded by
' Texans as little better ‘ inian emissary of
Satan. The Massachusetts Yankee was sup-
posed to be as vile and despicable'as ten or-
dinary Yairees, while a Boston Yankee
waspiously believed to contain 50 per cent.
more total depravity than any other kind of
New Englander. All these old notions have
been tied up in bundles and laid away with-
out any labels on them in the garret,, with
the rest of the rubbish of the war. We
Texans are pretty well satisfied that. the
Massachusetts Yankee is just as much of an
American citizen as any of us,and vice versa.
Some years before the war. the Texas legis-
lature ordered the purchase of machinery for
the penitentiary at Huntsville, and the ap-
propriation was passed with the provision that
none of the machinery purchased was to be
manufactured in the state of Massachusetts.
If any’such bill as that were 'up before the
present legislature, although it is not much
of alegislature, no such nonsense would be
listened to for any length of time. It is
highly robable that three or_ four partially
demo d legislators, like Todd, the gentle-
man from Marion, would improve the op-
portunity-to make the usual fools of them-
selves, but the rest of the members would
certainly impress on them that it is hardly
them tell about their '“pitched battles." It
is true that the Massachusetts boys in blue
were about the first ones to pollu the
sacred soil of Virginia with their pre cc,
and they could also be found without much
difiicnlty, 9n most of the battle fields of the
war, but we have also noticed since the war,
that when there is any great-disaster in the
south by pestilence or flood or fire. that those
Boston people are the cues who‘ go down into
their garments and bring forth large sums of
actual cash for the relief of the sufferers.
That’s the way they get even with us for not
buying any machinery from them previous
to the war. It is a notable fact that when
there is real distress at the south Boston
subscribes more money in less time than half
a dozen of our own southern states, as for
instance at Memphis. Taking it altogether
it hardly pays to poke fun at the Hub.
When it comes to intelligence. morality, and
> public spirit, Boston holds about as good a
hand asctherc is in the deck. Boston comes
just about as near being the hub as any vi!-
lage we know of.
The case of a little red-headed Italian boy
who was brought before a New York police
court Sunday may interest cigarette smokers.
An officer said that he found the boy gather-
ing cigar-stumps from the gutters and streets
and sidewalks, and showed the judge a
basket half filled witii the butts of .old cigars,
covered with mud and- watcrosoaked.
“What do you do with them ?" asked his
Honor. “I sell them to a man for 10 cents
n pound," replied the boy, “but I don’t
know his name, and they arefused for mak.
ing cigarettes, like they sell in all the
stores.” The officer corroborated the child ’3
statement, and said that there were many
boys, and even girls, scouring the city in
search of stumps and half-smoked cigars,
which were dried and then sold to various
persons who used them in making; cigar-
ettes. ._. ..__._. _

Here once my step was quickened,
'IIere beckoned the opening door,
And welcome thrilled from the threshold
To the foot it had known before.
.A glow came forth to meet me
From the flame that laughed in the grate,
And shadows a-dancc on the ceiling,
IDanced hither with mine for a mate.
"I claim you, old friend," yawned the arm-
chair,
“This corner, you know, is your seat ;"
“Rest your slippers on me,” beamed the
fender,
“II brighten at touch of your feet.”
“We know the practiced finger,”
Said the books, “that seems like brain ;"
And the shy page rustled the secret
, It has kept till'I-camc again.
Sang the pillow, “My down once quivcred
On uigbzingalcs’ throats that flew
'iirougll moonlit gardens of llall'l.
To gather quaint dreams for you."
Ah me, where the Past so wed heart’s ease,
The prc~eut plucks ruc for us men !
I come back: that scar annealing
Was not in the churchyard their 1
But, I think, the house is unaltered.
I will go and beg to look
Attire locals that ‘were once familiar
To my iii": as its bed to a brnnlr.
Unaltered ! Alas for the Sumeness
Til’li makes the change but more!
,’l‘is a dead man I see in the mirrors, ' .
’Tis his trcarl that chills the floor!
To learn such a simple lesson
. New I go to Paris and Home.
That the many make the household,
But only one the home? '
,’Twas just a womanly presence,
An influence unexpresr,
.But a rose shehad worn, on my grave-sod,
Were more than long life with the fest!
.‘I‘was a smile, ’twas a garment’s rustle.
’Twas nothing that I can phrase.
But the whole dumb dwelling grew conscious
And puts on her looks and ways.
Were it mine I would close the shutters,
Like lids when the life is tied,
{And the funeral firc should wind it,
This corpse of a home that is dead.
For it died that autumn morning
I When she, its soul, was borne
.To lie all dark on the hillside
That looks over woodland and corn.
