The air is clear and cool and glowing ;
The waters dimplcd, dancing, flowmg;
Tho reeds along the river growing
Strong and fair.
The sun above tho hill-tops shining,
Dimplod waves with gold is lining;
Of the waters none are pining
Full of care,
But are dancing glad and free,
On with me !'
In the morning all is gladncss-g
Morn ne’er waited yet for sadness,
Pining o’er the sin and badncss
Of" the world.
So we go with glow and quiver
Down the dancing, happy river,
While our flags in breezes shiver,
All unfurled ;
All the wavelets dancing free,
Out to sea I
Perfumed breezes kiss our tacos,
Full of fair and glowing graces,
Sending waves in merry races
Swift and strong;
And we sing in happy measure,
As we glide on at our leisure
Over ocean’s pearly treasure,
Sw otest song ,
And the gurgling waters play
On their way l
What Can I Do ‘2
“I wish I were dead.” Is there a heart
but at some time in its life’s experience
when borne down by sorrow or weight of
care, but has uttered this prayer, and how
well it is that “He doctll all things well,”
does not in His pity for clay, grant this
wish to lay down that which he gave us,
for some wise purpose, before our work is
done, else how many homes would have
been made desolate all too soon, and many
a heroic act would have been left unper-
formcd ? '
“I wish I were dead.” These words
now came from the lips of a woman still
young, but with marks of care drawn
deeply on her pale face, as sob after sob
came from her breast. Her surroundings
all seemed pleasant, everything was neat
and even tasteful, but a‘ prison life is hard
to bear even though the bars‘ are gilded,
and her life was made up of the monotony
of housekeeping, with nothing for u
change, and tonight it seemed as though
life were a dreary desert, even though
three beautiful children slept quietly on
the carpet at her feet.
It is not always the great troubles that
dash over a soul that destroys and poisons
it. but it is the drop after drop that con-
tinues through the long years]
Any one might observe the difference
between her carcworn face and the bright,
lively one of her husband. plainly show-
ing that he had pleasures that she had
never participated in.
“Why. Mollie, suppose I should come
home half drunk at some uncertain hour
of the night, then you might complain;
. but I never stay out after 10 o'clock, and
you know I moot have a little recreation
after my day’s work is done.” ‘
“And does it never occur to you, Charles,
that I need a little recreation? You have
your friends dropping in every few min—.
utes chatting for awhile, and constantly,
in your business, being thrown in contact
with different persons, while I have noth-
ing but the same ceaseless round of duties
month in and month out.”
“I know, my dear, that your work has
a great deal of sameness, but in the after-
noon you are free to go out and promo-
nade, shop, see your female friends and
have a good time generally."
“Oh, yes, it may do to talk so to those
whose husbands are able to keep a servant
or even a nurse, but when one pair of
hands has to be cock, seamstress, laundross
or nurse, there is not much time left. for
sociability, and if you would but take the
price of the three fine cigars that you
smoke daily, it would more than pay the
wages of a servant.”
“What, givp up my cigars for the trifle
of thirty cents a day; why, they are one
of my principal cnjoymonts; give up my
cigars ?” and with a shade of vexation
passing over his handsome face he picked
up his hat, gloves and cane and passed out
:at the street door.
These conversations were becoming
more and more frequent, and always cod-
ing with a little more bitterness. The
pair were above the ordinary in refine—
ment, and fond of art and literature.
This was announced as “positively the
last night” for a celebrated reader. She.
as well as he, felt most anxious to hear
him once, at least. All day long she had
felt happy and glad, and she flew rather
then walked from kitchen to dinning-
room, and from thence to chamber, with
the thought .in her heart of spending the
evening pleasantly. So at tea time, with
80 Inc forebodings, she introduced the sub-
ject, but only to find an engagement had
be so made to accompany some bachelor
friends. Her heart failed her, she lost
her self-control, and the scene ensued
» which we have just described. Some one
has said: “I like my heroes and heroines
to ’be better, braver, purer, nobler,‘more
to [hearing than real flesh and blood ;’I
hi it, reader, we have t) do with the real:
[if lt the ideal, in the common walks of life,
in of so thought Mary, after her husband’s
d. manure, and the words of the past camc
il so her mind: “The fault is not in our
s are, but in ourselves if we are under.
lings;” and a new spirit seemed to take
possession of her. I will meet the matter
squarely—I will end this life of drudgery;
and thus she reasoned: A women may
a] lead her life in work, nay. even toil, but
when it becomes so incessant as to deprive
her of all social enjoyment, she becomes
a more drudgc, which no woman of any
ambition will be; but what to do '.’.nye,‘
that was the question. ,
“I cannot teach, for my children must
not. be cntruste to the care of a stranger;
music is not my forte." As all these
coursed through her mind her hands were
busy, too, in deftly fashioning little gar-
munts for the dear ones beside her; and
she took no note of time, until the little
tin lc~piocc on the mantle chimed out the
hour of 10, and she heard her husband’s
steps in the hall, for he was truly correct
in his morals, and had too much fear of
what the “world would say” to even keep
late hours, and withal loved his wife as
dearly as he could anything outside of
himself, but self always came in first, and
self was omnipotenh Oh, will man as a
class never learn that woman has capabil-
ities to appreciate many things from which
they are so often debarred, because the
household duties are imperious, and as
Charles often said: “Money did not grow
on bushes i” Let me tell you, my dear
Miss Anthon‘y, woman has many rights
which could not be inferred from any of
the amendments. The invitation to a
pleasant walk after the toils of the day
are ended, the sympathetic word, the kind
caress, the last new book, even in acheap
binding, and the hundred little attentions
which cost nothing, and yet bring so much
joy to the tired wife and mother.
Remember, I do not speak of the crea-
ture of fashion who flutters from flower
to flower, of enjoyment enlisted, but not
satisfied—but of the true woman to whom
“life in roll .” ’
_ l
Mr. Melton looked somewhat surprised, ;
as he entered the room, to see the unima—
tcd expression on hisrw'lfc’s face, for, to
tell the truth he had'cxpeclcd a shower of

’ tears, mingled with a great many reproach-
ca, but instead—
“And how did you enjothhc evening ?”
was the greeting.
“Very much, indeed; but Idid wish for
you to share it, but knew you couldn’t go
on account of the children.”
Mary made no reply, but thought, "It
is a wonder that you couldn’t realize that
perhaps you might have taken the care of
them for a single evening at least.”
Day after day rolled on, and as yet no
plan was hit upon by Mary, until one day
she thought, “Why can’t I Write and thus
better my situation but would anything I
might—write be accepted, let alone bring
any, remuneration? No name, no ,influ-
ence, no position, no friends, can I do
anything ?” But the thought haunted her
and grew stronger and stronger. until after
all the rest were sleeping, she would take
her pen and write all the burning thoughts
that were in her heart, all the beautiful
dreams of her girlhood. when she had
loved the birds, and trees and flowers as
familiar friends, until finally she wove all
her thoughts into rhyme without thinking
or caring whether she found a publisher
or not. '
One morning, a few months after the.
commencement of our story, Mr. Melton
remarked at breakfast: “ll‘lary,-I met an
old friend of yours yesterday, Mr. BroWn-
ing of New York. He inquired very par-
ticularly about you. I invited him to
dine with us to-day."
“I shall be very glad to see him,” she
responded, “for I have not even heard
from him for Several years. Will he stop
some time in town i’”
“I believe not; he is making some ar-
rangements about starting a periodical in
Chicago.”
The forcnoon seemed long to Mary, for
Mr, Browning had been a favorite teacher
of hers. audio him she- was indebted for
her thoroughness as a scholar and she fell.
particularly anxious to see him.
After the dinner was over, as they sat
chatting in the little back parlor, many
very pleasairt reminiscences were brought
up of days spent as teacher and scholar,
when Mr. Browning said: “Mary, you
gave great promise of being a writer ill
your girlhood; ‘have‘ you over cultivated
the talent?” “I fear I have let the cares
of life crowd out self-improvement," she
answered, “but,” and a conscious blush
suffused her cheeks, “latterly I turned
my attention, during my spare moments,
that way, and as you have often criticised
the productions of my girlhood. if you
will be so kind you can read the produc-
lions Of my maturer years,” and rising,
she handed him a portfolio filled with
sketches.
He drew out a couple, glanced his eye
over the pages. An expression of pleas-
ure and surprise passed over his face.
“I fear, Mary, you have been burying
your talent in a napkin through these long
years if these two pocms‘aarc a specimen
of your ability, and if you will allow me
to take this portfolio and examine your
pieces, I think we can be of benefit to
each other if you will consent to write for
publication.”
“I should be glad," replied Mary, "to
do anything in life beside this dull round
of housekeeping,” and before she scarcely
knew it the whole story other tired life
was told. .
“Well, we will see what can be done,“
said her friend cheerfully, and shortly af-
ter took his leave. '
A few days lifter her portfolio was re-
turned acompanied by a note, stating that
if she would contribute one article each
month to the new periodical, a handsome
salary would be paid her.
“Charles, you will be kind enough to
give me money to furnish the room in the
attic, as I am expecting a girl in a few
days to act as help.” .
“Whew.” and Charles gave a prolonged
whistle; and how do think a girl is to be
paid? It takes all I can get to pay my
hands and keep up stock."
“Never mind how the wages will be
‘paid; so long as I do not run in debt you
surely can not object."
“I wonder why Mary is never down
stairs any more when I come in, and how
she get all these nice books and pictures P
and certainly she does look nicer and pret-
tier than when she used to wear a soiled
dress and stay half the time in the kitch-
en, but I wish she would stay down stairs
a little more, for it is awfully lonesome
for a fellow.” But one morning Charles
awoke and found his wife famous, and he
made the discovery that after all a woman
may do something. '
The Peculiarilies of a Second-Hand (loaf as dis-
cribed by the Seller Thereof.
A party 70f three young men from the
agricultural districts entered a second-
hand store, and one of them finally bought
a second-hand cost. He was solemnly

creased his beauty 200 per cent, and he
went away perfectly satisfied. In about
an hour he returned and said:

NOTES BY THE WAYSIDE.
H. M. Paowrrr.
[Continued from last week.]
v1. -
Clear Creek Canon is well named “The
Switzerland of America," its whole length
is 60 miles, and it is the wonder and ad-
miration of all. Clear Creek (likes its risé
among the suov'v-clad peaks of the moun-
tliin range, running through the richest
and oldestmining sections of Colorado.
Hanging Rock under which this line of
railroad finds its way, appears formida-
ble, overhanging without lapparcnt sup-
port the whole track. Mother Grundy
and Inspiration Point are objects of in-
terest, and the‘closc observer can detect
peculiarities which aided by fancy, gives
the names above mentioned. But we are
stopping at a station. called Beaver
Brook. High up on the rocks is perched
a pretty pavilion capable of holding some
ten to twenty persons, and which is
reached by a flight, of stairs, while a
smooth little brook, spanned by a small
bridge seems as if all that was wanted to
complete this romantic picture was some
child with little book and line to just drop
a line to the little fish that inhabit this
gentle streumlct. This is a great place
for picnics. Stopping only for a moment
and with lime scarce sufficient for memory
to carry. away with it a correct photo-
graphic impression of this scene, the train
again, passes on between its ,lofty walls,
broken at times, by an occasional moun-
tain which fills up the gap. whose sides
are as steep as the roof of a Gothic house.
On its steep sides trails ;may be noticed
winding up towards the summit, and hole
are seen some cows with barely stami-
ing room, reaching up to the extent of
their necks and grazing from the upward
side of thishill, while a would seem am
a single misslcp would send them down
its precipitous sides quite hastily.
A few miles above Beaver Brook the
road forks. The one to- the right loading
to Central City, while the left crosses a
strongly braced iron bridge and conducts
to the popular resoi'ls Idaho and George-
town. The road forking off in this way,
gives to this place the name, “The,
Forks.” At this place the road may be
seen for some distance in either direction
and here is. the grand meeting places for
trains where they may pass each other on
this single track road. Three trains are
standing at this point at the time of which
we are writing.
Eleven o'clock brings us to Black
Hawk. This is a great mining centre.
Most of the passengers leave the cars.
We are but little more than a mile from
Central City by carriage ride, but the
steam cars cannot rise a bill as easy as
Central City is some 500 feet higher than
Block Hawk, a circuitous route must be
taken of four miles. Here comes in the
farmers from Switch Back. Wild as has
been the scenery hitherto, while making
the constant ascent of 100 feet to the
mile, yet the most exciting is to come.
Removing from the train the observation
car and one of the passenger coaches, it
would have been well if the train had
been permitted to climb the hills. thus
lightened of its weight; but orders had
been given to the conductor to carry up
two heavy freight cars which, in the very
start seemed too much for the engine to
draw. Leaving Black Hawk, the track
runs up the right side Of the gulch among
the mills and past the open mouths of
mining tunnels. Slowly we progress, the ‘
driving wheels frequently slipping over
she track. Houses and trees rccede as we
arrive at some purl: of the grade where we
look down upon them., After a while
the headway movement of the train is
stopped and the Switch Back is com-
commcnced. Here leaving the track so
lately traversed, the train by a retrograde
movement mounts higher, and leaping
the two principal streets ,on iron bridges,
some 200 or more feet above the houses
and churches, progresses by heavy
grades, from thence resuming its head-
way movement, it is soon 500 feet above
the streets and busy mills, pushing stead-
ily across rich mineral fields for Central.
As the train crosses these bridges with
nothing under them but the streets, far
below, it. takes strong nerves to look down
upon these busy streets and feel a perfect
safety, while the bridge over which we
are traveling is too narrow to be seen by
the passenger. Central City is at last
reached. and a feeling of relief comes
over the tourist. The nervous system
has been strained to a high tension while
passing over the Switch 'Back, yet to see
a town or city large as this among the
mountains, having its churches, school
houses, stores, livery stables and fancy
drives, well repays any trouble taken.
We climb a high hill to notice the mines,
one of which we enter. It is crossed over
with a rough shantyand here and there is
the steam engine , the largoyyiudlass with
its long .coil of smooth and’strong rope.
The opening to the mine is about the size
of a wcll’s mouth. A signal :bcll notifies
the engineer to set his machine in motion
and the coil is being wound up on the
large Windlass. 'At last the iron bucket
makes its appearance, bringing up a mass
of broken ore, which is poured upon the
hard earth floor, from thence to bc
shovcllcd down a slide, to the place
where it can be loaded into the cars.
Soon a miner wishes to descend. Putting
into this bucket, which is a little larger
thunabarrcl, his pick and shovel, and
placing a .lightcd candle in his hat with
another candle in his hand, ready for use
when wanted, he jumps into, the bucket
and allows himself to be lowered down
some 400 feet into this living tomb where
not a ray of light can reach him except
from the candlelin' his hat. Dousing his
of the bucket, we wait for some minutes
to notichfhc seemingly endless coil no-
wind, but at last the little bell notified
the engineer that he is safely landed.
Other places are visited, and a survey
taken of this mountain scenery. Although
this city is 8,200 feet above sea-level and
prospect is limited, even on. the summit
of this bill, and this appears but as it were
a large basin surrounded by higher peaks,
yet towering above, and the snow-clad
ridges though near, yet appear quite
distant. rA summit does not necessarily
imply its being the base of another rise.
on the contrary this whole mountain
range is like one taller hill planted be-
tween others, so that the ascent of one
must first be descended before making
the ascent of another.
Central City has its fashionable drives,
six miles directly across, bringing the
celebrated town of Idaho Springs, which
village contains about 1,000 inhabitants.
It may be interesting to some to learn that
the celebrated singer Mr. Miller, who is
with Rev. Mr. Pratt the evangelist hails
from Central City. .
Leaving this place some two hours 111-
‘idvance of the train we take the stage to
Black Hawk, and-after inspecting some
of ltho mines will await the train on its
return trip. _ ‘
About fifteen minutes stage ride 11
the steep hills brings us to Black Ha k.
This is also quite a large place with its
stores, churches, etc. But the mines are
now. the subject of attraction, and here
horses can climb with a carriage, and as 5
his head and hands below the upper rim_
3,000 feet higher than Denver, yet the .
our party is increased by the additicn of
two gentlemen, and after a somewhat
lengthy walk through the sandy soil the
Bonanza Mine is reached. Furnished with
lanterns and candles and matches by the
manager, we are conducted into this fun-
nel which extended some 1,200 feet- in
length. The manager taking special care
to point out the veins rich with gold and
silver ore. The height of this funnel is
between sixond seven feet, and in width
some six feet: As the time approaches
for the train we leave this place and to
trace our steps to the depot. Here a fine
viéw is obtained of the train descending
the mountain sides, and which appears
more like a child’s toy graduallyocomiug
down. At times it seems behind some
cliff and is out of sight, but soon emerges
‘closcr by. But soon all are aboard for
Denver which place is reached about seven
p.'m. ' '
We have seen the giddy heights which
have been overcome, have passed over the
bridged chusms, have noticed the preci-
piccs which havo been been made sure
foundations, and the solid wall of granite
for miles made to yield a roadway, which
for smoothness, beauty and durability,
have few equals. We have seen walls rise
perpendicularly some 1,800 to 2,000 feet
above the track, and ourselves shut in
among these hills which once were the
great resorts of wild animals, while the
foaming stream has been dashing along
by our side. On approaching the Denver
dcpot the electric lights pour forth a
brilliant blaze illuminating the whole rail-
way. .
. Tho transit-r coaches with their four
horse teams are soon gall y dashing through
the streets conveying us to our destination
Though fatigued with the journey of
the day, yet it has been a deligllful trip,
and well worthy of repetition.

Barnum’s Great Tent
Burned.
CmOAoo, J une 5.—A fire broke out to—
day in‘ Barnum’s Circus, consuming the
main tent, dresses and paraphernalia.
The flames caught from one of - the lamps,
and the canvas was rapidly consumed:
Before engines were brought into action
the destruction of the main tent was com
plete. Several streams were played on
the,» blaze, and the firemen succeeded in
preventing a spread of the fire to the ada
joining canvas, under which were the
cages of the wild beasts.
The flames ran up the canvass to the
center poles in a twinkling,and a gorgeous
sceuo- was presented on the Lake front
for a few moments, Michigan Avenue for
blocksbcinglight asday, while the ship—
ping lying in the harbor was clearlyout-
lined. The tugs in the harbor added to
the uproar by an incessant screaming of
their whistles. The canvas and guy ropes
being destroyed the center poles were pro-:-
cipilated to the ground, crushing the pri.
vate boxes and carrying the fire in among
the reserved seats, causing their complete
destruction.
The night. watchman in charge of the
stable tents was apprised in time to en-
able the hostlers to lead out the noises
quietly. The wild animals had all been
locked up for the night, and as they could
not see the flames were in no sense panic-
strickcn, although the smell of smoke ap-
peared to excite some of them.
' The actual loss to property is estimated
at from $15,000 to $16,000, with no insu-
mnce,but the interruption of the perform-
ances may increase the loss very consider-
ably. The canvass destroyed covered six
acres of ground and is claimed to have
been the largest tent in the world.
A Farmington Outrage.
A Colored Burglar Ravishes A Young Lady.
NEW HAVEN, ‘June 5.-—A most brutal
assault and outrage was committed within
the limits of Far'mington at about two
o’clock on Sunday morning. Al. that
hour the house of William Meeker, loca-
ted just north of the depot, which is about
a mile west of the centrezof the town, was
entered by two burglars. Entrance was
effected into a room on the second floor of
the house by means of a ladder. In the
room Mr. Meeker’s two daughters—Eliza,
aged twenty-one, and her sister, a girl of
fifteen years—were sleeping. The girls
were aroused by the noise and the eldest,
Eliza,was taken from the bed by one of the
marauders and was compelled by threats
of personal violence to. lead the thieves
through the house and bring food to them.
The terrified girl set before them a large
quantity of food, including an entire cake,
a loaf of gingerbread, two pies and other
eat-ables. Miss Meeker was also com-
pelled to give the man $12 in money, all
that she had. ;1n the meantime the
younger sister remained in bed, too ter-
rified to give an alarm. After the rascals
had eaten their fill, Eliza was carried into
a corn crib about three yards from the
house by one of them. There she was
violently outraged and left by her assail-
ant. After this the villiau ran away.
The girl after laying helpless for a while,
at last managed to crawl to the house and
aroused her father. He procured a shot-
gun and started after his daughter’s as-
sailant, but was unable to find him. He
notified the authorities. , Constable Hill,
with two other officers. searched the
woods and roads near Farminglon all day
yesterday, cudcavoring to discover the
negro, a description of her assailant being
furnished by Miss Meeker. Just about
dusk that evening Mr. Hills came up with
a negro on the Farmiugton road to Hart-
fo‘rd, near West Hartford Center. The
man was taken to Hartford by the con-
stable and locked up overnight. He is a
stout, burly fellow, aged about twenty.
five, years. He gave his name as Voltinc
Welser, and said that he came from Stam-
ford, looking for work. No traces were
found of any man answering, the descrip-
tion of Miss Meckcr’s other assailant.
Yesterday morning Welser was taken to
Farmington and was confronted by Miss
Meeker. She positively identified him as
the man who had outraged her. '
His Papa’s Name,
There was a bright little boy between 2
and 3 years old picked up as he was wan-
dering on the, street and carried to the
Four Courts, where he took a seat on the
riiling in front of the Central Station,
stuck out his chubby legs and stared at
everyone who came in,without being the
least abashed. As is customary in such
cases, an endeavor was made to elicit in-
formation from him that might lead to
all he know.
"What’s your name, young man i" they

_—
Sunrise from the River—2d. Sketch.
BY MINNIE K. LUDLUM.
“Come, Kate 1” says Harrie, turning
from the open window through which
numberless twitter-lugs and soft bird notes
are heard. “The cast is flushing and pal
ing, and the breeze is springing up from
the south! It is time to start."
So, leaving the witidow open for the
swat scents t) be wafled in by the aim]
airs laden with creamy apple-blossoms,
we hurry down attire and out into the
fragrant morning.
The long grass lies almost flat under its-
wcight of dew, and the hay in the far-off
meadows, is heavy with sm-etness and
shining drops of crystal. - The delicate
white cherry blossoms are scattered thick
on the ground, and lie like flecks of snow-
on the warm heart of the summer; the
golden heads of wheat liukle in the fieldh-
near by. " 4,
Directly before us ripples the river, its
waves just beginning to mirror athe
heightening glory of the cast; our bou
rocks idly in by the rushes, inviting us to
try it. .
“Shall we go, Harrie ?" I ask eagerly.
. “q course 1” she answers. ,
So, presently, we are drifting smoothly
down with the tide ; the oars making little
eddies, as they trail at the sides,-for we
are too much occupied with the beautiful
sunrise, to take much note of what is
passing beside us.
For out in the buy the soft mist trem-
blc9,—breaks,—drifts over the harbor-bar
and is lost beyond. The sails of outward
,bound vessels, glimmering brightly as the
first clear s‘un rays touch them. The buy
is a trembling mass of purple and gold,
.the waves beginning to flash in the light
from the ca'stcrn skies. The rose-color
spreads and widens; the blue sky turns
to silver for the lime ; the glittering rays
shoot up and out, unddccpcn to burnished
gold.
And now we close our eyes to shut out
the dazzling glory that is come! But
even through Ollr closed lids the rays dart
and glitter, until we are forced to shield
them with our hands. Then We take a
sweeping glance of the radiance that is
come. -
On every side is perfume and beauty.
The rushes sway low down to the wa-
ters, their slender blades making tiny
ripples tipped with foam-flecks; the
houses nestling among green trees on the
banks, begin to send up delicate wreaths
of smoke ; the snowy gulls swccp'along
above the river, withlow cries ; theglossy
swallow darts hither and thither, now for
up toward the blue above, now dipping
his wings in the dimplcd bluc beneath,thc
sunlight glancing across his black coat,
touching it to silver ; among the tall reeds
the unseen sand-piper calls. to its male.
The cool waters gurglc against the bow of
our boat, and run out behind in miniature
billows with bubbles for fairy-foam, full
of a changing rainbow glory. Out across
the river fills a golden butterfly, straight
towards us, the brown dots on its gauzy
wings, showing clearly against the bean-
tiful gold. '
The sun is clear from the horizon, and
shines square in our face, making us
squint in a decidedly unbecoming manner.
“Do turn back, Kate," replies Harrie; .
“or we’ll be blind in one eye and can’t
see out of the other i What a beautiful day
this will be if it keeps true toils dawning.
What is that butterfly following us for, do
you suppose f" . '
“Not knowing, I cannol, with any de-
gree of ceitaiuty, presume to affirm!” I
answer laughing. “Unless it has mistaken
us for butterfly girls l"
“Puns: are vulgar, Kate 1" replies
Harrie, trying to look severe. But the
dimples and merry eyes spoil the other-
wise good efiect, and We laugh gaily.
“Come, let's not quarrel. Harrie l” I
say after a pause.
"What sunrise-thought came to you,
this morning ?"
“Do you know,” she . says gravely,
"when the sun rose in such perfect beauty
I could not help likening it to the morn-
log of life; and wondering if we have, so
fir, fulfilled the promise of our morning!
But it is impossible for after life to be so
perfect as infancy !” .
“Oh, Harrie, no I" I cry, watching the
fluttering bit of beauty that still follow
us. “In babyhood our views are so small 2
we think no farther than the present mo-
ment! As we grow older we may not be
so free from responsibility, but we grow
wise. and sympathetic through suffering.
“Some people talk about the advan-
tages of dying'young." ~
' “Why, they loose all the best of life!
The crown that is won through crossing
the roughest mountain path_is surely more
precious than the one gained in the valley
at the foot of the mountain l"
“Goodness! don‘t talk about dying,
such a beautiful morning as this 1” ex-
cluims Harrie, in pretended alarm.
“Don’t be afraid l” I answer laughing.
“My sunrise thought was what will the
sunset be, that is all. Shall we go in
now ?" 1
“Yes,” she answers with a sigh.
So with a gurglo and rush of waves, we
glide up to the bank, the butterflies still
following us; a wonderful bird-melody
around and over us.
"Another day begun,” says IIarric,.
looking back to the cast. “We ought to
work well, today, Kate, after this
beauty."
“ch," I answer, as we go up the
meadows toward the house. “Let us
watch the sunset some evening?"
“Are you growing sentimental 2" she in-
quires anxiously, with lifted brows.
“Not a bit of it l‘f
And we go into the house.
“Tho dow is ad, and the bees abroad,
The sun stands around in the gates of' God.”
The Only'Fault with a
Palace Car.
“0, I don’t kick on the accommodations
in a sleeping car, and it is cheap enough,"
said the traveling“ man with a bad cold.
“I have heard jokes a million times about
sleeping car pillows getting lost in a man’s
ear, but I always found the pillows big
enough. I have heard people complain
about blankets being too short at both
ends, but the;blankets are all right, and
you can get an extra one or a dozen by
asking for them. .

HOW ‘NATCHES ARE MADE.
In a SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion cf metal is
needed only to stifl‘en and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James 3083’ Patent Gold Watch Cases this
WASTE is saved, and somm and
STRENGTH increhsed by a simplexprocess,
at onehalf the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldered on each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, etc., are cutoand shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This is
. the only case made under this process. Each
case is accompanied with a ralicl guarantee
simwd by the mnlgfactm‘ers warranting it to
wear 20 years. 150,000 of these Cases

To-Morrow a Long Way of when
Help Is wanted 10-day.
Comfort is never in ahurry. Pain and dis-
tress are in hot haste. It is to the “friend in
need”— the friend who does something now—
that the old adage pays the compliment of
being “a friend indeed.” That they do not
keep the sufferer in suspense is the salient ex-
cellence of BENSON’S UAI’CINE POROUS
PLASTERS. The plastcr’s ‘of‘ other da 3—
whether porous or otherwrsc-said—“ alt
until to morrow: we can romiso nothlng on
the spur of the moment. ’ But pain unre-
lieved, like hope dcfbrred. maketh the heart
sick. Benson’s plasters act on application..
They permeate, soothe, warm and heal, con-
tainingas the do, chemical and medlclnal
agents of the lghest efficiency. Their motto
is now, and the genuine have the word CAP-
CINE cut in the middle ofcach plaster. Price

with considerable loss of memory, accompanied‘
Reminiscences of my
Brother John.
Let me tell a little story
Of my father’s eldest son, .
Who arrived five years before me,
And they called the stranger “J elm.”
In the land of wooden nutmogs
First he saw the light of day,
And, like our good sire before us,
When he came, he came to stay.
Oft’ our childish dorelictions
To our father’s cars would come,
For our mother would acquaint him
With the facts when he came home.
And if father then should “lick” him,
I would bellow like a calf,
But if I got castigation
He would shakehis sides and laugh.
Time sped on, and we grow older,
And when Winter’s mighty sway
Bound the streams in icy fetters,
And built snow-drifts in the way,
Then we sought the Podgun school house,
And on the oakon benches there
Labored hard for education,
And “built castles in the air.”_
» 0, those olden days of school-life ;
Photographed upon my brain
Are the faces I then know well,
But I no’cr shall soc again,
All are scattered, hero and thither,
Only one or two remain
Near old “Podgun District school house,”
At the entrhnce of “Dark Lane.” '
Now when sixteen balmy summers
O’er my brother’s head had flown,
And from infancy, through childhood,
Near to manhood ho had grown,
More than ordinary genius,
Skill and gumption be displayed,
So, to good old “Father Pony,”
He was sent to learn a trade.
If within an ancient building,
With a gambrel-roof atop,
Near the green at Norwich-Town
You had then porchanco to stop,
You’d have seen him with his hammer,
_ Lupstone, pcgging-awl and last,
And with pcrscvcring effort
Making solo to body fast.
Thus as elements of knowledge
Day by day he laid in store,
When “the boss,” old“Fathor Perry,”
Could instruct the lad no more,
110 packed up his “kit” and started,
And adopted “Grecicy’s” plan,
(Now become so universal,)
Namely, to “go West, young man.”
'Now the village of New Britain
Had attractions, rich and rare,
So he ceased his Westward travel
“And unpacked his dunnago there;
Went to work for Sammie Curtiss,
With our father’s approbation,
And there made another effort
To complete his education.
There he labored for a season,
But on nearing his majority,
Ho presumed to be rebellious
0! “boss Curtis’s” authority;
And at last his chafing spirit
Could no longer bear the strain,
So ho, gathering up his baggage,
Back to Norwich came again ;
Got a job with Deacon Bromley
And to business settled down—
Flirtod with the Misses Hempstead,
And with other girls in town 2
Was industrious, steady, temperate,
Circumspect his daily mien ;
But I sometimes thought he had a
Slight excess of self-esteem.
Shall I toll the old, old story,
How one day on mischief bent,
“Cupid” met him unprotected.
And into his bosom sent,
Silently, hissilvery arrow,
Piercing even to his heart:
How he felt its rankling daily,
How for weeks he felt the smart?
’Till a maiden, pure and lovely
As a blushing, beautcous rose,
Placed her heart within his keeping, .
And the twain found sweet repose.
How along life’s rugged pathway
Hand in hand they journeyed on
How sweet children came to bless them,
And their hearts’ affections won. '
And how darling little “Mattie”
Sickened, aye, from day to day,
How the “silver cord.” was losenod
Till at last it broke away.
How the angels claimed the dear one,
Took hér up among the blest,
Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest.
fl
How in after years sweet “Sarah,”
Like a rose in loveliest bloom,
Drooped so suddenly and sadly—
How our hearts were filled with gloom
As we laid away the casket
Where the weeping willows wave,
And our tears from eyes o’erflowing
Fell like rain-drops on her grave.
Years sped out-the wife and mother,
Onco so lovely, young and fair,
Had grown old, her checks were faded—
Silvered was her dark brown hair;
Eyes were dim, her hands were feeble,
Tottering footsteps told the tale
That the faithful wife and mother
Gently, gently neared the vale,
Through which flowed a. shining river,
And upon the further shore, '
Lo ! the hands of shining angels
Beckoning the deer one o’er.
Father, mother, sisters, children,
Arms extended o’er the tide,
Call her “Daughter! Sister! Mother l
Join us on tho hither shore l”
Does she. falter? Nay ! a boatman
Speeds his craft with golden oar,
Takes her by the hand; she enters——
Soon she lands upon the shore.
Loving arms are thrown around her,
Loving hearts to her’s are pressed;
Faithful soul, thy cares are ended,
Enter now thy Heavenly rest.
Shall I tell of days of sadness,
Life’s sun clouded from John’s sight,
Lonely nights of gloomy sorrow,
Broken by no rays of light?
How, like somo vast panorama,
Slowly o’er his vision passed
All the years of wedded home-life '.’
But an end had como at last!

As all human hearts are dual,
Is it strange he sought a mate ?
Do you blame his horse from stopping
One day at an open gate,
Where there lived a charming widow?
Did silo wrong to take a ride
With him to tho Parson’s homestead
And become his willing bride?
No! I hear your soul responding;
As life’s journey we pursue,
One can never bear the burden
Quito so easily as two. '
May each hour the otllor’s burden ;
Heaven’s blessings be upon
Each—and thus my story closes
Of my older “Brother J ohn.”
