lThis Life is What we Make It.
_—
Let’s oftener talk of noble deeds,
And rarer of the bad'ones.
And sing about our happy days,
And not sbout the sad ones.
We were not made to hot and sigh.
And when grief sleeps to wake it.
Bright happiness is standing by— .
This life is what we make it.
Let’s find the sunny side of men.
Or be believers in it t
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win it.
Obi there's a slumberiug good in all.
And we perchancc may make it;
Our hands contain the magic wand ;
This life is what we make it.
Then here's to those whose loving hearts
Shed light and joy about them!
Thanks be to them for countless gems
We ne’er had known without them.
oh. i this iihould be a happy world
To nil who mny [bl-take it ,
The fault' 11 our own if it is not-—

Death or Dishonor.
When Grandfather Ackland died. I
stood by his bedside. Cousin Rudolph
was on the other. We were quite alone,
for the nurse had been sent away,‘ nud'wo
. were very sail, for we loved our grand-
father dearly. We were waiting _to hear
so:1~.etl1ing that he had desired to say "to
us ; and at last he spoke.
“ Rudolph," he said, “ you ha've not
formed any matrimonial engagements
without my knowledge, I suppose?”
‘ ‘ No, sir,”nuswered Rudolph.
“ Nor you; Felicia '3’? asked my' grand~
father. '
“ Oh, 110," said I.
“ I am glad of that,” said he.' “ Now,
'Rudolpli, I 11 now you admire your cousin,
and that she respects you. It would re-
joice me greatly if you would both think
over a proposition which I am about to
make to you, I should like to see you
engaged to each other before I die. ]
have lefttheprdpertybetween you, and
that would reunite it. Still, I would not
make that my motive. I believe you
well suited‘ to each other ; well contrasted
in physical appearanée, with the qualities
to satisfy each other; I should know that
Felicia had a protector 011 whom I could
rely, and you a wife to make you happy.
Think it over, and answer me to-morrow.’
Neither of us said anything. Soon 11 e
were sent away , but that evening Ru-
dolph came to me.
“ Felicia," he said,“ do you think you
could put up with me. 9"
“ Rudolph," I answered, “ even to
pléase grandpa’, I can’t marry ahusband
who doesn’t love me. "
"‘But I do,” said Rudolph— “ dearly.
Nobody could help it, ” »
“ And I suppose romance is chiefly
fouud' 1n plays and novels, " said I. ‘ ‘ Real
love and friendship are what people act-
ually have in happy married life.”
“Oh, as to that, let us' be romantic,
too, ” said Rudolph. “ You see, being
cousins. we' ve never thought of it; but I
should be very glad if you could make up
your mind, my dear. ”
So the next-morning—I was sixteen
,and Rudolph eighteen, remember—we
promised our grandfather to do as he
wished. We were not to marry until I
was twenty and Rudolph twenty-two.
Meanwhile, I was to be under the pro-
tection of an old friend, since I had no
living relatives; and we were both to
take a tour through Europe, and to pro-
ceed with our education. We made our
grandfather very happy, and wept in each
other’s arms when he died. However,
my feelings did not alter to Rudolph. I
had always loved him dearly, and no spo-
cinl romance connected itself with him;
only I thinks woman always feels pleased
to know' that a handsome, admirable
young man is her very own for life.‘
Thus matters were arranged when we
started for Paris in the same steamer-
under proper chaperonage. We did the
cities. We saw nature as', seen by other.
tourists. We looked at the pictures.
heard the music, visited the libraiics.
' We were by no means always together,
and it chanced that in Rome I was intro-
duced'to 11,-gentleman, a young friend of
my chaperou’s, who was very courteous
to me, and offered us his escort whenever
it was needed.
He was a young sculptor, rich, an Ital-
ian by birth, by name Giovanni Monal- '
dini, but very, very handsome.
When I had known him a little while,
Rome begun to have a wondrous charm
for me. Places I cared nothing for at
first wereinvested with'a glamon of ro-
mance. I spent days in the galleries with
him, my chaperon asleep in a chair hard
b.-Y
Rudolph declared himself sick of high
art. He spent most of his time at the
house of the fathei of a school-friend of
his, whom he had met by chance—a fel~
low who always had a. gopd_ cigar and
plenty of music. Music was Rudolpli’ s
fancy just then.
H1111 —asin we slip into places we would
never enter willingly! One morning I
awoke in my little Roman bed, under a
painted ceiling, and with the light falling
upon me [through a stained glass win-
dow, and suddenly recognized the truth.
The romance that had not come to me
with my engagement to my cousin had
come with my acquaintance with Giov-
anni. Iloved my cousin, but I was in
love with the sculptor, and he with me.
Oh, the bitter shat'ne I felt—the deep
contrition! Icouldg. only say' to myself,
“I could not help i ;" and then cry,
“Weak, wickedcrcaturc! 116w dare you
say that?” And then I knelt down and
prayed 1‘01 1112111,».1111 it seemed to me
that i might play better 1n the (Om old
cathedral so near us; and dressing my-
self hastily, I glided out at the door, tell-
big no one where I was go‘mg.
There were few in the church at that -
,early hour; but even as I caressed my
own gri'ef, I notiwd another more and
than I——a young, English-looking girl, a
very violetofacreuure, dressed in mourn-
ing, and with a tear-stained face.
She started up. There was a strange
look in her eyas. Ifelt that I read its
meaning. She intended to destroy her-
self. .
“The victim of some wicked deceiver,”
I thought; to myself. “But she shall not
——she shall not! I will follow her and
save her. "
And when, in a moment or two, she
slipped out of the church, I was at her
heels.
She turned, as 1 expected, into‘ the
Strada di Ripetta, which leads straight
to the banks of the Tiber, and at last she .
stood close to its edge, in the shelter of
an old wall, making up her mind, as I
'saw, tothc awful plunge she had con-
templated.
Then I went close to her, and caught
her by her dress, and said, softly. “ Stop!
I know what you are going to do. You
are wrong, whatever troubles you havo.
I have followed you to keep you from the
river.”
The girl turned sharply, and looked at
me.
_ “What do you know' about me?” she
asked.
“Only what Isaw in the church, " said I.
"Is it so plamly written in my face
that a stranger can see it ?” she cried.
“Then, indeed, the water is the place

shame, perhaps.”
“Shame. "’ she said. “ Oh, how dare
you? Do you think Iam a young person
who has had no respect for herself 2’?
“People always think that of girls who
diown themselves,” I answered.
“Don’t think it of me, " she said; “ I
am only foolish. Perhaps you came there
to the cathedral to 'pray because you
were sad?”
“ Yes,” I said.
“ You knew about me 'because your
own heart told you,” she said. “You’ve
been good and? kind to 1011611 me; 5 I
think I’ll tell you—all but the names.
“I’m 11 poor governess. I came here
with a rich family, and a friend of the
son’s. He visited me. He is a splendid
creaturér-good, true, perfect, beautiful;
but he liked me. And I used to sing to
him—I am quite one of the family—and
#1 grew to love him; and yesterday, at
tivilight, he walked on the hills with me.
Suddenly he told ‘me how he loved me,
and how he should never be happy, for he
was engaged to a girl whom he mung

“ ‘Little Violet, he said: ‘ I ask noth-
ing of life but the right to love you and
protect;you, and that I cannot have for

good she was, and handsome; and noth-
ing—nothing to him beside little me. '

“I sieves told you," said she. -
“No, " said I; “I am a fortune-teller.

My cbaperon and Cousin Rudolph
were breakfasting together. Rudolph
was pale ; he said nothing. My chaperon
scolded me. But when she left us for a
moment, I said to him, “Cousin, cheer-
up. Let us thank Heaven we were only

EATING 3111's.
Why do we not more frequently follow
the snakes’ example, and eat the rodents
that so despitefully use us? I don’t eup-
pose that many people would care about
adding the denizens of our city sewers
to their menu, but what rational objec-
tion can'there be to good, wholesome,
barn-fed rah? They know what is good
for themselves, depend upbn it, and do'
not feed 611 02111 and nastiness when bet-
ter things are to be bad. ' We eat- ducks

the flesh was as white as that of a chicken
—and the flavor—well, I am afraid the
highest praiseIcan award is that they
had no flavor and was therefore unob-

them myself; no servant would touch'

nary art did not even include at that
period those rough details with which
my subsequent wanderings have perfume

The first European banners unfurled
upon the shores of the New World, of
_; biotic account,
'a're those of Columbus, who landed on
the small island of San Salvador, Oct. 12.
1492. Doubtless his ides of a new world
came from Iceland, which hevisitedearly
111 1477. His son writes that Columbus,
dressed in scarlet, stepped ashore and
planted the royal standard of Spain, em-
blazoned with the arms of Castile and
Leon. Awhitefiagwitb a green cross
was its companion. In 1499 the eastern
_1éoast of South America was explored, and
eight years later the discovery was an-
nounced to the world by a Florentine,
Americas Vespuhius, who gave his name
‘tc the Western Continent. About this
time the Cabots planted on the shores of
North America the banners of England
and of St. Marks of Venice. The only
voyagcrs. found that the Indians of North
America carried as a stande a pole cov-
ered with the wing feathers of eagles.
The 1ed cross of St. George floated from
i‘fli‘c most of the Mayflower, 1620, when
he pilgrims landed on the Plymouth
rock. For a century and a half, during
._lhe colonial and provincial periods the
use of the English flag continued in
North America, with the addition of many
devices and mottoesi; Some flags were
all red, with white horizontal stripes, or
red and blue stripes. Others were red,
blue, white or yellow. Upon these were
the pine or ‘ ‘ Liberty tree, ” and the words,
“ An appeal to Heaven ;" also stars, the
crescent, anchor, beaver and serpent.
Under the latter,‘ 'Don't tread on me. "
A flag at the battle of White Plains bore
the words “ Liberty or dent. " On J an-
only 2, 1776, at Cambridge, Mass. ., was
' 511m hoisted the “Grand Union" flag of
the crosses of St. George andSt. Andrew,
and the thirteep alternate red and white
stripes; 9111ch cf the union of the
thirteen col '; against the oppressive
acts of British tyranny. This was the
flag in use when the Declaration of In-
dependence was read by the Committee
of Safety,,at Philadelphia, in the prcsp
once of Washington in; New :York, land
from the balconyof the "State Home in
Boston. On the 14th of August, 1777,
Congress resolved “that the flag of the
United Statesbc thirteen stripes, alter-
nately red and white, and that the union
be thirteen stars, white, in a blue field,
representing a new constellation." Once\
the stripes were increased to fifteen,
but in 1818 they were changed back
permanently to thirteen, perpetuating
Ellie original thirteen States of the Union,
and itwas decreed that for every new
State coming into the Unions star should
be added. The stars have five points;
those on our coins six. They were first
arranged in a circle, afterward in the
form 0711 large star, and now in parallel
lines. '
W
THE 31510111: or COKE.
The history of the discovery of coke
and the development of the trufiic has
never been written. Authentic informa-
tidn of the first use of coke in this coun-
try places it in1817, when it was em-
ployed by 081.111.1110 Manson, one of the
earliest founders of Western Pennsylva-
nia, in refining iron at the Plumsock, or
Upper Middleton mill, a few miles from
the Youghiogheny river. In 1818 the
use of coke was attempted by blast fur-
naces, but it had to be abandoned be‘
cause the blast was too light, being only
five pounds to the square inch. Even
when the value of coke as a furnace fuel
was fully appreciated, the enjoyment of
its advantages was prevented by inabil-
ity to increase the blast. In 1835 Wil-
liam Friinstone manufactured good gray-
; forge iron at the Mary Ann furnace, in
Huntington county with coke produced
from Broad Top cash In the same year
F. H. Olipbant, Faircbance furnace, near
Uniontown, exhibited at the Franklin
Institute, Philadelphia, samples of iron
made-from blue lump ore smeltod with
coke. In1840'tbe Great Western Iron
Works, at Brady's Bend, built four coke
furnaces. In 1841-2, coke was made on
the banks of the Youghiogheny river and
shipped in fiat-boards to Cincinnati. A
gentleman who is well informed in all the
details of the coke business says that
Dudley, an English iron manufacturer
in the sixteentll century, is entitled to
the discovery of coke. He used it for
the same purpose to which it is applied
now, smelting. The manufacture of coke
,in Connellsville region did not riseto the
dignity of a business until toward the
close of the decade of 1858, when it was
carried on principally at Dawsonfls Sta-
tion, on the .Youghiogheny river, six
miles below Connellsville, by the Coch-
raus, who are still in the business, and
tomost of whom it has brought great
riches.
At present we depend for cork upon
the countries bordering the Mediterran-
can. __In- these countries the actual mar-
iket value of cork is ten times what it was
at the beginning of the century, and it' 15
likely to go still higher. In Sardinia,
Sicily and Naples, extensive cork planta-
tions are being destroyed for the purpose
of obtaining the tannin of superior qual-
ity yielded by the bark and' carbonate
of soda from the ashes of the wood. This
destructiOn has been going on for years,
while planting has not even replaced the
trees destroyed, except in France and its
African dependency. As long ago as
1822 the French Government appropri.
ated forty-five hundred francs, which
were to- be divided among those who,
planting in 1823, should possess at the
expiration of ton years plantations of ten
thousand vigorous saplings. In. 1834
only flireepersons had been entitled to
the fewer iBt't't France Ins. now over
five hundred thousand acres of k plan-
tations in Algiers, yielding a derable
revenue to the State. About fifty years
ago the Spanish began to encourage the
planting of the cork oak, and the number
oftrees in that country has increased.
This increase would have been greater
but for the fact tbat, while' in some pry!
incés 601‘): has become the chief source of
wealth, in others, many proprietors de-
stroycd their trees in order to clear their
ground for more valuable productions.
The cork oak grows to the height of
about fifty feet. In Algeria and in the
Spanish province of Esfi'emadura the de-
er. The tree reaches a great age. It con-
tinues to grow for one bipared and fifty
or two hundred years, andiftbr its growth

LETTER CARRIERS? SECRETS.
“Thereisnot a letter carrigr in the
city but whole the custodian of the secrets
of someone on his route,” said a well-
known postal ofilcial recently. “ What a
sensation they would create if what they
knew could be revealed at one time ! The
divorce courts would be overcrowded,
and rivals for maidens” affections would
be parading the streets, armed‘to the
teeth, looking for the other fellow. But
there is a barrier to these revelations.
The Postal laws strictly'provide that a
carrier must never tell of what he sees,
repeat what he hears nor make public in
any manner the address upon a letter.
When notified to deliver letters only to
joined upon him to remember this rule,
especially as regardsmembers of the same
family. We'll do I remember when I was
:1 carrier 11 certain maiden 011 Broad street
was receiving letters from a. father and
son. Whether one knew that the other
11 as writing to the girl 01 'not I do not
know, but this I saw several times: When
she received a note from the old gentle-
mau she was very deliberate' 1n her move-
ments, but when I handed her one from
the can she was out ofthehouse in a fifty.
One of the most annoying thingsto the
carriers is the imprudence of " mashers. ’
I have had these fellows intercept me and
ofi'er $5 or $10 if I would tell who such a
lady was, and whether she were married
or not. I remember one lady 1n particu-
lar, who came here from a neighboring
city and stopped at the residence of a
millionaire. She was a magnificent wom-
an. A man would hardly pass her with-
out turning around to take a second look.
The mashers nearly went crazy over her,
and one met' me at nearly every street
corner on my route with some question
regarding her. I came near getting into
half-a-dozen fights over her, and wasglad
when she went home. But the devices
, of married 'men and women who are bold-
ing clandestine correspondence are ingen- ’
ions. All such people stand upon a vol-
cano, not knowing the minute it will
begin to send forth fire and a. ruined
reputation. One man used to_ beg me
every day ‘ for God’s sake don’t let my
wife get hold of my letters. The woman
was assmart as her husband. She was
also holding a secret correspondence, and
I was in that, too. . She did not want hei
husband to know of it. I took good care
(if both, and they enjoyed cheating each
other. At one time I have known on my
route half a dozen ladies who were rest-
ing under the‘belief that their husbands
were holding a correspondence which
should not be carried . on. Each one
would give me minute directions that if I
received a letter. from such and such a
place to be sure and hand it to her, as it
was important and interested both. No
doubt it did, but thenI didn’t think three
should take a hand in the business ; only
the husbands received the dainty epistles.
But the increased facilitiés of the new
office ofi'er the most extended opportuni-
tim for sly work. Boxes are chehp and
the latest trick now is for husbands to
have their tender epistles sent to these
boxes. They have the key and no one
else can get into it. If the wife happens
to find the key, why, she is easily sati's.
fied by being told it belongs to a door at
the store or the safe, or something of that
sort. You see, only one clerk or so knows
anything of your letters. N 0 one has an
idea where you live or anything else.
But then, postal clerks and letter carriers
learn quickly. Traveling salesmen are
becoming heavy patronizers of the boxes
since they have become cheap. The ex-
cuse for these gentry is that they receive
letters they do' not wish to be sent home.
So the envelopes are dropped into their
boxes, and when they return from their
tours they find bundlea of letters and no
one to ask questions that might bother
them to answer.
