Its mountain pines toss in the air ;
Its lakes gleam like some mirror fair;
Its soft winds breathe their priceless wealth,
Till pale cheeks wear the glow of health.
But oftener still they vainly blow _
O'cr some wan cheek and brow of so ow ;
No roseate tints of health they bring,
And sad hope sits with drooping wing.
There fading. fading day by day,
His young life ebbing slow away,
The staff and prop of future years
Drills out beyond these hopes and fears.
Still bitter are the tears that flow,
The anguished cry, 0 must he go?
Relentless death as stern as fate,
lIecds not those cruel words—too latcl
Too late—how like some spirit call, .
The solemn words come home to all.
Their deepest import is not fate,

One Way of Love.
She was a_ clerk in the treasury at
Washington on a salary of $000 a year ; he
was ill the post oilicc, enjoying the privileges
afforded by an income of $1,200 Once in a
while there was a holiday when they would
take the boat down to Mount Vernon, if it
was warm, and spread their luncheon in the
shade of its historic trees and patronize na-
ture sneecsrsfully as if they were nabobs.
Sometimes they had tickets given them for
a comedy or tragedy, when they laughed or
cried with the discernment of millionaires
and the old families. On Sunday morning
they sung in a choir and walked out to the
Long Bridge later in the day, or strolled in
the Capitol grounds and surprised the first
violet in its hiding place. Helen’s landlady
told every new boarder that Mr. Van Vleck
“was going with” Miss Hildreth, but Miss
lIelcn always protested that he was merely
a friend, that they were neighbors at home,
and had gone to school together when they
were in pinaforcs; and the landlady _always
sniffed when she remarked : “If ,,~he‘s
nothing but a friend I should think there'd-
be a cessation of. his, love making sooner or
later.” - '
One day when they were rambling about
Mount Vernon together Helen fell into a
romancing vein. “Suppose this is, my coun-
try seat,” said she, f‘and I have furnished it
in the Queen Anne style, and I am entertain-
ing the creme de, la creme, just. as they do in
novels—” .1 _
“A sort 1of Lady Geraldine—and I am the
poor poet, eh i" .
All but the poetry," mocked Helen.
“Now, supposethis is my manor house,"
suggested Theodore, “furnished in the rc- '
naissauce, let us say—I’m making great
demands on your imagination—and I’m on-
tertaining all the swell. I’vc lured you here
on the pretext of looking for a four leaf
clever, but really to ask if you will share
my insignificencc with me; what should you
say ?”
"I should put my lessons in gymnastics into
use and jump at the chance.” '
“And if I should ask instead, ‘Come share
my cottage, gentle maid ?’ ”
“Don‘t i” cried Helen. .
He looked at her a little blankly.
“You don‘t mean that you care so little
for me i”
“I don’t mean anything. Don’t let us talk
about marrying and giving in marriage; we
are happy enough as we are."
“But if I don’t marry you some other fel-
low will!" 1
. “Nonsense, penniless girls are a drug in
the market. I’ve seen misery enough from
marrying on a small salary; I’ve seen marry-
ple living in two rooms, on ‘water and a
crust,’ so as to speak, doing their own work,
and no pleasure and no society, and no hope
of amendment, people who thought love
would tide them over all the quicksands—
and presently the hallucination were off, but
the quicksands remained, repranhcs set in,
she grew bitter and unlovcly, and‘ he morosc
and neglectful+”
“Then you think love an hallucination ?”
“I think marriage is a mistake on twelve
hundred a year. If I became dowdy and
hadn’t time to cultivate a taste for csthetics
or whatever was the fashionable craze, and
grew jaded and spiritless with the uncon-
genial task of washing pots and kettles and
stewing over a range, and. if nobody turned
to look after me as I passed; one day you
would find yourself disenchanted. Then,
supposing the new administration should
push you out of office, even for a month, or
you shOuld fell ill? No, we are happy enough
just as we are; don‘t let us discuss marriage,
let us wait, like Mr. Micawber, till something
turns up.” .
And so Van Vleck waited. Perhaps he
was-disappointed in Helen’s views, but he ’
refused to confess it even to himself; all
women felt so, he supposed—cared more for
shadow than substamcc, or mistook one for
the other; it was their poetic temperament
which made poverty hateful to'them, and
splendor their natural atmosphere, and he
applied himself more diligently than ever to
his idea, working far into the night at times.
“You were not at the president’s last cv-
ening,” one of his fellow clerks said [to
him later. 1 ' ‘ '
“1 inc, I should think not." .
“But Miss Hildreth was there; .she and
Mr. Sterling, M. C., were hand and glove. lI
heard him ask her to go and hear Lehengrin,
tomorrow night.”
“Mr. Sterling was in luck,” was alIVun
Vleck ventured to say: he did not choose
to carry his heart in his sleeve for every clerk
to peek at. "If Mr. Sterling was fascinated
by Helen, it surely was no fault of hers;
many a man had been bcwitchcd by her be-
fore this elderly congressman,only Theodore
forgot that they had all been needy suitors
and as for Helen, he felt as sure of her as of
seed time and harvest. '
But on one occasion he left his work early
and hastened to see her; a cloud of ugly
rutnbrs had assailed him and interfered with
his task; she should brush all the cobwcbs
out of his heaven. He met her coming down
the staircase in a white evening dress, with
flowers in her hand—costly exotics, such as
wealthy lovers send their sweethearts, such
as he had never dared to buy.
“Where did they come from i" he dc-
manded. 1
“They grew, I ’spccts~like Topsy," an-
swered Helen, laughing uneasily.
“Where did you get them, Helen Pf’
“You are inquisitive Mr. Van Vleck.”
They were sent to me.
“By Mr. Sterling ?" _
"You do credit to your nationality ;'»you’rc
a capital Yankee. Yes, 1 Mr. Sterling, of
course.”
“Helen," he cried beneath his breath—
“flclcn are you going to, marryldr. Ster-
ling ?" .
“I—I believe I am,"isbe said drapping her
eyes.
Theodore never knew exactly how he
found his way out ‘of the house; he was
vaguely aware of brushing against a Slow:
gentleman in a fur trimmed ulster, as he shot
into the street; of a stately carriage and pair
standing at the door,- and a dark brewed lady
leaning out to look after him. ,
The next day he resigned his position in
the post-office, drew his savings from the
bank and left Washington. It were well,
perhaps, if he could put deserts and seas and
mountain ranges between Helen and himself.
It_secmed to 11 in as if the, earth had reeled
from its orbit, 'and .it required time for him
to readjust himself to the situation. His idea
was all that was left to him. He put into it
all his earnings—he devoted heart and soul
to its development, and he finally forgot him-
self and Helen Hildreth in his work and its
success. 1
“Wealth and splendor have not proved
all her fancy painted them,” he thought as
their eyes met. “Mr. Van Vlcck," she cried,
“who would have dreamed of meeting you
here i” Was the pleasure which brightened
her eyes and deepened her somewhat exag-
gerated dimples a reminiscence of her pow-
er, or was Mrs. Sterling a married flirt, he
wondered. “We have heard of you often,
to be sure,” she purred. “The newspapers
have not been silent concerning you and
your great invention. I’ve always felt an
ownership in that. invention, do you know 1’
I felt as if I were behind the scenes, let into
the secret before the rest of the outside World
when it was only a dream. l’vc resented ev-
ery infringement—”-
“I am flattered that you remember my
small affairs," said Theodore, humbly.
“Remember." she repeated, witha linger-
ing accent, “I have nothing else to do.”
“I come down here sometimes,” she pur-
sued, aftcr a brief pause, “when we have a
llOliday, for the sake of auld lang~sync, and
try to believe I am seven years younger and
the world before \me where to choose. I
like to come when the peach trees are in
bloom as they‘were that day when we built
our castles in the air mine having crumbled
into dust.”
“Mrs. Sterling, I am sorry to hear you
speak so.”
,She stared at him an instant, blushed and
dropped her eyes in the old effective way.1
“Haven’t you heard," she said, “I didn’t
marry Mr. Sterling.” .
Perhaps she elipected Theodore to beam
with sudden happiness and rehearse the
old story she had refused to hear once be-
fore. _
“You left no address, you know," de-
fending herself from the reproaehes she an-
ticipatcd.
“Mr. Stirling died before the wedding day
was set. I thought you would see it. in the
newspapers. I’m a treasury girlyetfl‘hcodoc.
Do you know that I sometimes wish I had
never seen Mr. Sterling." .
Only the fates know what Van Vleck
would have answered, but just at that mo-
ment a bit of origin lease floated into their
neighborhood, and a voice like a summer
brook cried: “Oh, my veil, Theodore!”
Theodore put out a hand, but it eluded him.
Helen made a quick movement and caught it
on the wing.
“Let me introduce you to Mrs. Van Vlcck,
Miss Hildrcth,” he said, “she would like to
thank you.”—0m' Continent. ,
Accidental Discoveries.
Valuable discoveries have been made and
valuable inventions suggested by the veriest
accidents. An alchemist, while seeking to
discover a mixture of earths that would
make the most durable crucibles, one day
found that he had made percclain.
The power of lenses, as applied to the
telescope, was discovered by , a watch-
maker’s apprentice. While holding spec-
tacle glasses between his thumb and finger,
he was startled at the suddenly enlarged ap-
pearance of a neighboring church spire.
The art. of etching upon glass was discov-
ered by a Nuremberg glass-cutter. By
accident a few drops of aqua fortis fell upon
his spectacles. He noticed that the glass
corroded and. softened where the acid had
touched it. .That was hint enough. He
drew figures upon glass with varnish, ap-
plied thc corroding fluid, then cut away the
glass around the drawing. When the var-
nish was removed the figure appeared
raised upon a dark ground.
Mezzotinto owed his invention to theisim-
pic accident of a gun barrel of a sentry be-
coming rusty with dew. The swaying of a
chandelier in a cathedral suggested toiGali-
leo the application of a pendulum. The art
of lithographing was perfected through a
suggestion made by accident.
A poor musician was curious to know
whether music could not be etched upon
stone as well as upon copper. After he had
prepared his slab his mother askcd‘him to
make a memorandum of such clothes as he
proposed to be sent away to be washed. Not
having pen, ink and paper convenient he
wrote the list on the stone, intending to.
make a cbpy of it at his leisure. Afew
days later, when about to clean the stoncbc
wondered what effect aqua fortis would
have upon it. He applied the acid, and in a
few minutes saw the writing standing out in
full relief. The next step was simply to ink
the stone and take off an impression. The
composition of which printing rollers are
made was discovered by a Salopian printer. ‘1

A True Story of a, Turtle.
The following story is vouched for by the
Boston Trdnscrl'pt: “One of the clerks in
the pension office at Washington, D. 0.,
was walking in his garden stFalls Church,
Va, a few evenings ago, when hisattention
was attracted by a turtle crawling ,near him.
On picking the turtle up, the gentleman (a
one-armed Union soldier) discovered that
there was an- inscription upon the under shell
which read .1 .
1 U. s.
J one 20, 1861.
D. C. Rhodes.
and then some illegible letters, followed by
‘soidicr.’ Master Turtle was carried to the
pension office the next day and passed
around "among the clerks there, one of
whom remembered that Connecticut'troops
were near Falls Church at the time, and
suggested that possibly, D. C. Rhodes’was a
Connecticut pensioner. A brief search of
the books in the office showcd.Bhodes to
have been in one of the Connecticut regi-
ments and that he is now an applicant for a
pension on account of a gunshot wound in
one of his feet. A letter to Rhodes elicited
the fact. that at the date specified he was on
picket duty at Falls Church and cut the
quoted inscription on a turtle; the illegible
letters he states to be the name of one of his
comrades named Dickenson. It has taken
Master Turtle twenty-one years to bring him-
self into notice, though slow he has been sure.
It‘ Rhodes ever gets. his pension he ought to
buy an acre of land especially for this leisur-
ely claim-agent." _ 1

LIEUTENANT writsLow's nxrnamnxrs IN an-
TIFICIAL mementos.
Although the artificial propagation of
oysters in deep sea beds is comparatively a‘
new industry in the United States, and is
principally confined to the waters of New
England and the middle states, it is destined
to revolutionize the oyster trade of the
world. To Connecticut must be accorded
the honor of first making deep sea planting
asuccess; thousands of acres of beds are
cultivated under the "artificial" system, and
the area is increasing from year to year.
Although experiments in hatching oysters
have been made from time to time in differ-
ent countries, the recent improved methods
of cultivation in this country have been an
element in inducing the United States gov-
ernment to make exhaustive experiments in
oyster hatching. This work has been under
the direction of the United States fish com-
mission, and Lieutenant Francis Winslow,
U. S. N., now detached, is making experi-
ments at Fair Haven under authority of the
commission.’
During the month of Junc‘ Lieutenant
W inslow'conductcd a series of experiments
at Beaufort, N. 0., remaining until the
spawning season hnd‘passed. He fertilized;
the eggs in a receptacle and attempted to at-
tach the young to the sea bottom, .but the
experiment wss not a success. Professor
Rider is attempting somewhat similar ex-
periments at St. Jerome’s Creek, Md. To
Dr. William K. Brook's of the geological
laboratory connected with 'John Hopkins
university, Baltimore, Md" is due the credit
of doing more in this special field of science
than any other individual in this country, if '
not in the world ; for he first conceived the
idea of fertilizing the egg of the oyster.
Lieutenant Winslow was the first to conduct
a series of successful experiments inEurope.
In Cadiz, Spain, when attached to the Sara-
toga, training ship, he performed a task
which the incredulous Spaniards said could
not be done, artificially propagating the
Portuguese oyster with perfect case. In
1878—9 when commanding the United States
schooner Polinarous .on coast survey— duty
in Chesapeake Bay, Lieutenant Winslow
made many interesting experiments in the
same line.
Lieutenant Winslow is at present con-
ducting his experiments at the oyster house
of H. .C, Rowe '85 Co.. in Fair Haven. He
says that most of the weather of last week
was bad for experiments, but he was able to
obtain better results Saturday and Sunday.
Removing a well developed female oyster, in
spawn from its shell, he selects the parts
containing the eggs—about one-half of the
oyster-and places them in a glass jar with
an equal amount of spermatozoa carefully
selected from the parent crustucca. At first
the lieutenant pulverized the parts in a cof-
fee mill; he has discovered, however, that
he can perform the work better by patient
manipulation with a pair of scissors. Re-
moving as much of tissue as possible, he
places the selected material in an aquarium,
jar nearly filled with brackish sea water. In
the course, of a few hours, under favorable
circumstances, the eggs having been at-
tacked by the spermatozoa particles of life
are evolved. In a.jar containing about a
pint of water the writer was shown yester-
day nearly 1,000,000 oysters forty-eight
hours old. Looking into the receptacle all
that could be seen was a mass of solid
water :with little atomic substances sus-
pended, Peering through the lens of a mi-
croscope of 800 diameters at; several drops
of the water on a watch crystal, in—
numerablc embryonic oysters flit be-
fore the cye. The atoms are possessed
of legs with which they propel themselves
about. Through the glass _the minute oys-
ters appear-nearly round in form with an
enlarged diameter of one-eighth of an inch
ormore. Some were motionless and dead,
and the lieutenant says there is a great mor-
tality among them at this stage of existence.
After arriving at the right stage of growth
the experimenter places the suspended oys-
ters in a tin can and lowers them to the sea
bottom. The can is left onthe bottom, the
desire being to see if-thc oysters willremain
on a given bed and thrive as in natural
spawning. Under natural conditions the
spawn will attach itself to catch on the bot-
tom unless forced away by currents and
storms.
.The process of a successful removal of the
oysters to beds is not so much a matter of -
time as of development. The? time required
for the proper developments varies from
twenty-four hours to six days. The water
here is not so strong as at the south. To
remedy this defect Lieutenant Winslow uses
carbonate of lime‘ which assists in the pro-
duction of shell. The number of ovsters
suspended in a given jar is approximated by
the number in a single drop of water. The'
number of oysters recently planted in a tin
can was estimated at 10,000.000. Lieuten-
ant Winslow is also trying to make
his oysters attach themselves to oyster
shells as in a state of nature. .A number of
shells are placed at the bottom of a glass jar
containing some of the atomized water, and
a miniature hose slowly supplies blackish
water which contains the little organisms
upon which oysters feed. Oysters forty-
cight houis old have ‘no stomach, but after
two or three days they partake of food.
Lieutenant Winslow has plates representing
the young oyster in forty-three different
stages of growth. He has a report on these
special studies, ready to be printed by the
United States fish commission, which will
make several hundred pages.- Anoystcr one

beds are seldom found except in .the vicinity.

some 50,000,000 ‘to 75,000,000 oysters this
season. He’ is very particular in recording
the circumstances attending each experiment
andOthe results will be watched with much
interest. ~ , .
Lieutenant Winslow, who is perhaps thir-
ty-five years - old, possesses a scientific and
inquiring mind, and is well adapted for the
work to which he has devoted so much time-
IIc has written considerably on, the habits
and characteristics of the oyster, a series of
his contributions recently appearing in the

States naval training service. He is much
interested- in the United States surveying

,A Farmers’ Candidate.
RESULT or vorirxo 'rrrn orr HORSE ON THE
NIGH Isms. '
A good story is told the Post at the ex.
pense of Col. Robie, the"farmers' candidate"
for Governor of Maine. Some ten years ago
at the time when thcepizootic was generally
prevalent, a certain York county man was
engaged in hauling goods to and from the
freight depots at Portland, ‘using oxen
instead of horses. All of his own stock was .
in use, and he was obliged to buy several
more yokes in order to keep up with the
demands of his customers. One day he
chanced to meet Col.7Robie in a railroad
car, the Colonel being on route to Gorhum.
where _ he resides upon I large and highly
cultivated ancestral farm; The Colonel and
York county man enuged in conversation,
and during its progress the former said:
“William, what are you paying for oxen
now '1’" , . .
“That depends,’.’ replied William.
“Well," said the Colonel, “get ofi with me
at Gorham and come over to my place and
look at a yoke of mine; handsome aspic-
turee; splendid pullers, and you, may have
,cm at a bargain."
The invitation was accepted, and soon our
York county friend found himself in front
of the Robie mansion, moat beautifully sit-
uated in the midst of fields of waving grass,
surrounded by grandold clms, and itself an
old-fashioned but sumptuously furnished
house, beneath whose roof its present owner
had passed many happy hours, andlcntcr-
tained,’ with genuine -_hospitality, hosts of
friends. . .
t“Jim,’-' shouted the farmers’ candidate,
as he drew near the, barn, “fetch out-that
yoke of dark reds ,’ Now Jim had been
enjoying himself that day and it was not
surprising that he made an occasional mis-
take. ,
“All right sir,” remarked the hired man,
andsoon a handsome pair of . cattle were in
the yard. (But'they didn’t show off well;
they didn’t pull well; they, acted in fact, as
though the devil were in them. _‘
The genial colonel was puzzled. “Jim,”
he called out in tones of mingled disgust and
anger, “Jim, what in thunder have. you been
doing to ’em l” “Nothing to-day but
feeding them, sir," replied Jim respectfully.
"But don’t tell me that," responded the col-
oncl, “because you ‘have been licking ’em,”
Jim indignantly denied that such was the
fact, whereupon the “farmers’ candidate
said _: “Jim give me that ,goud,” and with a
“back up," “'sh. ’31)," “a gee star, " etc., the
Colonel ,endeavored to have the animals
show off to advantage. But to the intense
delight of ourlfriend William and Jim also
the yoke of dark reds '_acted worscthan be-
fore. “1 donfit'sec for the life of me what’s
got into the critters.” chipped in the Colonel
in evident disgust at their .contrariness.
“I never knew ’em to act this .way be-
fore): . . . ' .
“Well, Colonel,” said the York country ..
mun, "I’ve-reen!your oxen, now what's your ‘
price ?” 1 1 1 .
“Well, being’s you,” ,said .the Colonel,
deliberately, and with a. squint of one of
his laughing eyes, “I’ll let’em go for an even
$250.” . ,
“Too much, colonel, too much for a pair
that don't pull better’n they do,” responded
the York county farmer.
“Well, William, piped in the farmers’
eandidate,“what would you be willing to
givegfor ’em 1’"
“I’ll give you just $225, and drive ’cm
home this uffernoon.'_’
For a few seconds the colonel was appar-
ently buried in profound meditation. Sud-
denly he broke out with :1 “Well, William,
being’s you, you may havc.’cm at your own
price. Honestly, William, I never saw the
critters act this way before.”
William completed the trade and started
for home with his purchase. When he had
got the animals out ofsight of the Colonel's
house he just changed 'em around, putting
the ofl! ox on the of! sidc’and the nigh ox on
the,nigh side, and thereafter, as the story
goes, “they. went along beautifull'y."-Boston

The Ruined City.
A SKETCH 0N ALEXANDRIA—ITS ANCIENT RE:
NOWN AND MODERN IMPORTANCE. ,
Alexander the Great sought'to found a city
after the destruction of Tyre, and in 332 ‘.B.
C. selected the site of Alexandria because of
its excellent position for trade. It is'twelve
miles west of the western Nile and between
the Mediterranean Sea and Lake Mareotis.
The city grew rapidly, and soon became the
great center of eastern commerce. The
Ptolemies succeeded Alexander, and under
them the city contained 300,000 free inhab-
itants, and as many slaves. 'It became the
centér of learning, and schools of Grecian
philosophy flourished there. Magnificent
monuments were erected, among them the
Pharos, the Museum and the Temple of Ser-
apis, and there were many gorgeous palaces
andpublic buildings. .
Julius CMAI‘ besieged and took the city in
48 B. 0., and 18 years later Augustus made
it an imperial city. It now began a new
seasbn of prosperity continuing till the es-
tablishment of the seat of empire: at Constan-
tinople. The catacombs, public baths, and
Pompey’s pillar, with the Roman city wall
were erected during this period. In the year-
215 the Roman Emperor Carmella visited the
city and ordered a general massacre, and
under the rule of Gallienus 1a famine swept
of half of the population. In 278 an insur-
rebtiou resulted in the' destruction of the—
great library ofxtbc museum. '-In 290 another
revolt endcd in a general slaughter, and in
365 an earthquake destroyed 50,000 persons.
The Persians captured the city in 016, and
yielded it to thc'Arabs in 641. Itithen con-
tained 400 palaces..400 theaters, 4,000 public
baths, and 12,000-gardeus. 1
From this time on it rapidly decayed, and
its population-and trade diminished. Cairo.
took its place as the chief city of Egypt. It
finally (tank so low-that in 1777 its population
was only 6,000. Since then the city has
been rebuilt and raised to importance
again. It resembled an Italian city, and had
large streets, wcll paved, lighted with guru-
and abounding with fine residences. The
great promenade of the Mehefnet All or
Franks square, where the massacrc‘of June
11 bcg'an, was the central palataof --'the city.

Occasionally Judges find themselves in
conflict ,with members Of the but who
are under no professional privilege or res-
traint. Some maintain their dignity by
fining and committing for contempt of
court. This course in, some cases may be
necessary, but a delicate -* ridicule is gener-
ally much more effective. A troublesome
attorney, who was pleading his own cause,
and raising untenable points before .Lord
he was invariably overruled, and exclaimed:
“ My lord, my lord, although your lordship
is so great a man now, I remember the time
when I could have got your opinion for five
shillings.” Such impertinence would, with
many judges, have led to the committal of
the offender ; but Lord EllenborOugh merely
observed, with an amuscd‘~'sliiilc: ‘“ Sir, I
dare say it was not worth the money." The
same judge was on onc'occuion sitting at
the Guildhall,when Henry Hunt, the famous
printed list, and quietly mild, ‘Mr. Hunt. I
see no name of any bby Dogood in the paper
of causes,' and turned toward the door of
his room. ‘ My Lord; vocifcrated the orator,
.‘a‘m Ito‘have no redress for an unfortunate
youth? I thought your lordshipwas sitting
for the redress of injuries in a court of jus-
tice.’ ‘ Oh, no, Mr. Hunt,’ still calmly re-
plied the judge, ‘ I am sitting at Nisi Prius,
and I haveno right toredress anyin‘jurie's'
except those which may be brought before.
the jury and main the causes appointed for
trial!” ‘ My lord,’ then said Mr. Hunt,
somewhat subdued by the unexpected amen-
ity of, the judge, ‘I only desire to protest.’
‘Qh, is that all? said Lord Elleuborougb,
‘by all means protest, and go about-1 your
business.’ So Mr. Hunt protested and went
about his business; and my lord went un-
rufiled to his dinner, and both parties were
conten .” ' '
Great judges have always been the objects
of intense respect and veneration to the Eng-
lish people, and few ordinarymersons would
venture to dispute, without difi‘ldence, the
law which they lay down. There is per-
haps no more amusing drilligrant abuse of
this confidence in' judiciallacquirements than
the proceedings of Sir Edward Coke when
he went in search of his daughter. He had
lived for years. on veryfba‘d terms with his
wife, who, when he; propOsed to marry their
only daughter to Sir John Villiers, carried
her off and concealed her in a house at Oat-
recciving information of this, collected a
body of armed men and put himself at their
head. . Encased in _,a .breastfplate, with a
sword at his side and pistols at his saddle.
how, he arrived at the outer gate of the
house, when he repeatedly demanded his-
dauahte'r i‘n‘thc King’s'name, laying it down
for law that'if death should-ensue it would
to those who opposed him. Such an opinion
coming from so inspired flource was enough
to cause the most resolutg garrison to trem-
ble, and the result was that Coke recovered
his daughter without much difficulty.

How Mamma Put a Stop to It.
Oconomowoc, the fashionable resort in
Wisconsin, had among' its guests a few
weeks ago a little Milwaukee beauty of sev-
eatcen years and a young Apollo in the per-
son of a Texan youth. The maid and man
met for the first time during a pic-nic of
archers, and it is averted that within three
hours after their presentation to each other
they were engaged to be married. The
ranchero, an extremely haudsbme. youth,
bought a pair of poniesfor his sweetheart
that afternoon,,and in order to secure a boat
to suit him purchased one outright that the
girl might enjoy a moonlight sail on the lake.
Though they waltzed upon the piazza until
midnight they were up with the lurk to carry
on what the. guests thought to be the fastest
love making on record. But Psyych’s wings
were to be singed ere midday and Cupid was
to tread upon a thorn at exactly 11:23 a, m.
At that minute the train from Milwaukee
brought ,an excited matron, whourriveu just
in' time to prevent the marriage of the lovers. _
The unsuspecting doves were getting into a
barouche to drive to the parson’s whenithe
girl's mother came down upon them like an
Iowa cyclone. A friend had telegraphed to
lmamma on the previous evening of the dash-
ing courtship and she had hurried to Ocono-
rnOWoc by the firstztrain. That afternoon a
firm mother and sobbing daughter boarded a
car for home, while the ranchero stood upon
the platform and blew a kiss and a cloud of,
cigarette smoke in their wake; ' ‘

How J apanesc Babies are Wel-
comed. '1
One curious custom in vogue is the exhi-
bition of a fish on every house where a boy
has been born. to the family during the year.
This showing is made during the month of
May, and on the 5th of that month thcrcis a
high festival held; the relatives and friends
of the, family make it the occasioneof. pre-
well as giving clothing fitting for the little
chap. .All sorts of child's geur‘is to be seen.
on exhibition at this time, and no, boy is neg-
lected. The boy is the pride of the house-
hold,the parents testifying their joy in feast-i.
ing: all-comers . whohonor ;them by their
remembrances. The girl babies are not for.
gotten, but they are accorded another day.
and a separate festival time, this being the’
third day of the third month—the third of
March. Then, instead of the fish flouting as
a symbol,the doll is to be seen in abundance,
and all the toys known tothc girl world are
lavishly displayed. There is very much of
pride exhibited on both of these child festi-
‘vals', as the gifts presented are ostentatiounly
displayed by'tbc fond parents for the admire:
tion of their friends. Diminutivc suits of
armor, tiny swords and arrows, toy horses,

tent to 'awalt'the full‘a‘dvent of thctime for
the display of the fish emblem, so that dur-

mistaken for consumptiOn: the patient complains
'of wearincss and dcbilitypnervous, easily startled;
feet cold or burning, sometimes a prickl sensation
of. the skin exists; spirits are low and cspondcm,
and, although satisfied that. exercise would be benc-
ficial, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude to
tryit—in fact, distrusts every remedy. Several
o the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred when but few of them existed, ye:
examination after death has shown the Liver to
have been extensively deranged. .
It should. be used by all persons, old and
young, whenever- uny' of the above
symptoms appear.

The Helping Prayer.- - .
The monk was preaching; strong his’camcst
word. ,
From the abundance of his heart he spoke;
And the flame spread—in every soul that
heard
Sorrow and love and good resolve awoke—
Thc poor lay brother, ignorant and old,
Thanked God that he had heard such words
of gold.
“Still let the glmy, Lord, be Thine alone"—
So prayedthcfimonk, his heart absorbed ill
praise;
' “Thine be the glory : if my hands have sown
Thc harvest ripened in Thy mercy’s rays,
' It was Thy blessing, Lord, that made my
word
'Bling light and love to every soul that
heard. .
3‘0, Lord, Ithank thee that my feeble strength
Has been so blest; that sinful hearts and
cold
Were melted'ut my pleading—knew at length
How sweet Thy service and how safe Thy
fold ;
While souls that loved 'l‘hcc saw before them
rise '
Still holler flights of‘loving'sacrifice.".
1 So prayed illenionkl when suddenly he
heard: , .
‘An angelspeakingdhus': “Know, 0-, my
son, ,
Thy words had all been‘vain, but hearts were
stirred,
And saints were edified, and sinners won,
By his, the peer llty brother's humble aid,
Who sat upon the pulpit stair and prayed.”
A. A. Proctor.
The Time is Short..
I sOmetimes feel the thread of life is slender,
And soon with me the labor will be wrought;
Then grow my heart to other hearts more
‘ tender——
The time is short,
Up, up, my soul, the long-spent time re-
deeming:
Sow thou the seeds of better deed and
thought':
Light other lamps, while yet thy light is
beaming— 1 1 -
The time is. short.
Think of the good then migh’st have done
when brightly 1
The suns to thee life's choicest seasons
rought; 1 .
Hours lost'to God in pleasure passing light-

1 To every heart that needs thy help in apght;
So'on thou may’st need the sympathy Of oth-
ers—
The time is short.
If thou hast friends, give them thy best en-
deavor,
Thy warmest impulse and thy purest thought
Keeping in mind, in word and action ever,
The tilne is short;
'Wllere summer winds, aroma-laden, hover,
Companions fist-their work forever wrought
Soon other grains the mess and fern will
cover—
Tllc time is short.
Up. up, my sold, me yet. the shallow l'alhtb:

By all the lessons prayer to thee hath taught,
To others teach the sympathies of heaven——
The time is short.
