Land of My Dreams.
There’s sand that to ms is fair and bright.
Where my spirit oft dwells in a sweet delight,
Where life ii love and where love is truth.
And age is more beautiful far than youth;
Where the turmoil and strife of the mad world

cease.
And are buried deep month the waves of peace.
There all around me is what it seems,
this the neonatal laid at my golden dreams.
“are no cloud is so dark but the sun shines

through. _
And hepe’s earth-crushed flowers their ' bloom
renew:-

' there the heart forgets it can ache with pain,
And our faith in the world comes back again.
There sin can not come with its hideous blight,
But is washed away in the waves of light—

- The fair light of purity ever that gleams
In the beautiful land of my cherished dreams.
There are friends that I love in that far-off laud,
Whose hearts are brave and whose lives are

I have crownedthem there with a glery of llgh

Ify own soul by error is there never strained,
Butreaches the-heights of the unattained;

And fair asthedewdrop in morning’s first beams
Is my own better life in the land of my dreams.

A Life for a Life.

closed the door behind him. He did
not trouble to lock it. What was the

cover what they chose. ’As for that, the
discovery was already made. But again,
what matter? He would be beyond
the reach of it all in another minute of
time.

' He opened his desk and balanced the
cold steel of the weaponin his hand.

‘ Even at that instant his subjective
metaphysical temperament, too com-
pletely wrought, asserted itself _and he
had a fleeting feeling, looking at the
polished barrel as though it were a
sentient thing; and in the grip of its
smely,,deatll-like quiescence supreme,
conscious potentialities seem to lurk,
crouching and ready to spring.

Then heroines hishand slowly. He
paused an imperceptible interval of
time with the cold, circular pressure
against his temple.
eyes. ’

A blow like that of a hammer hurled
back the uplifted hand. The detona-
tion filled the room with sharp, deafen-
ing reverberation and the density of
slowly clearing smoke. Through the
cloud between them, Arthur Ives met
Penfield's eye with a steady gaze.

Then, as the realization of what he
had been wrenched back to face rushed
km the latter, he raised his clenched
fist: .

“How dare you! How dare you!
What had you to do here P" _

_ The other never—lost his calmness.

“ Take care. Don'tbeabusive. I’ve
saved you from being 'o‘coward—th'at’s
all.”

“And what have you saved me for?

"Stop! I've saved you togive you
the chance of redeeming yourself. I
believe you' are an honest man in spite
of—these accounts. No one knows of
them but myself yet. . And no one shall
know. I give you a fair start. You can
begin over again. You have ability
enough. You can commence anywhere
afresh and make your mar ." ' '

Ives hadspokeu in a level, unmoved
voice. He leaned slightlv Qainst the
desk and raised one hand to his upper
lip. Penfield stood opposite him. The
one was fair, of superb physical
strength, lightly carried; homogeneous,
at one with himself, bearing the stamp
of success in his clear eyes, in the un-
conscious, perfect ease of every motion.
The other, tempest-tossed, driven by
temptations, by clashing instincts of
good and evil, looking older. though in
reality the younger, his dark eyes rest-
less with inner conflicts, his hair
streaked here and there with gray with-
in‘ the last few months. An instant
Penfield looked steadily at his bene-
factor‘s face. Justice in the world's
abysses would scarcely indicate the
distance between these two!

“Why do you do this for me i‘" he
then said slowly. “I have done noth-
ing for you but defraud you to the ex-
tent of several thousands."

“I have told you why I did it. Be-
cause I believe you to be an honest man
notwithstanding. As to the deficit, I
will make it up now. , If ever you can
pay me back, very well. "

That same night Penfield, his pli'st
wiped out behind him, left New York.

‘ I O 0 ti

-1 When we say that a man‘s past has
been wiped out behind him, we use a
figure of speech. The words, the acts,
the attitudes we have spoken, 'done,
taken, which we have thrown to the four
winds of heaven, hoping for their anni-
hilation, return, upon us in a cloud of
cohesive atoms, “accompanying us by
day and by night, forming an impalp—
able part of our personality. There are
times when we forget the dogging
shadow. To some natures it is rarely a
perceptible load. Penfield’s was not of
that type. His past had become a
functional part of his consciousness.
It was a crouching presence he had
buried deep, but every now and then it
stirred with a sluggish, creeping mo
tion that turned him cold and seemed
ready to leap.

Of late, a more healthy tone, though,
had taken possession of his mind. These
intervening years had been morally
rehabilitating.» He had prospered; he
held'llis head with a firmer poise. Work
had purified life. There were moments
when he felt that strenuous atonement

' might truly pass an obliterating sponge
over the stigma of past degradation.
He perhaps did not know himself how
much oftener these glimpses of a blessed
mirage had come to him since he had
met Bertha Ellworth. She seemed to
make all things possible. In the pure
light of her radiant eyes the base alloy
of one's nature slipped away asadis-
flguring garment. The soul stood
opposite her on fair heights of the ideal
to which it would attain. If she would
but give her unspotted life as the
sanctification of his. But his breath
came short. and'his eyes grew blind at
the thought. He dared not frame one
word of what lay back of his lips, and
yet she had never seemed so gently,
softly approachable as to-day.

As he rose to leave, something 'of the

hunger within him leapt, rebellious,
with his face turned up to the stars.

into expression.

“ Will you give me the flower you
wear?" he said at the door of the pretty
feminine room, “I am going away to-
morrow for a brief trip. ' Did I not tell
you ? It is on business. 1—"

He stopped short. A faint color came
into her face. It seemed to him a vague
shadow of something unfathomable had
passed through. her eyes. '

“ We shall miss you," she said.

" Shall you miss me i’" he repeated,

the driving passion rising at last, full _

armed. “Shall you--" ,

“Good-bye,” came in her soft voice,
and she held the flower toward him.
The next moment he was out in the
night with the flower against his heart.

Little to build a dream-castle upon,
you will say. Yes, but it kept Penfield in
a fever of unrest, a ceaseless alternation
of dazzling hope and sickening fear,
for months. For the business trip had
been unavailably prolonged. He had
left in the budding promise ofa leafy
June; he returned in the passionate
August.

He had not intended to seek her out
the very first day. but his impatience
overcame him. ‘ - ~ ‘ -' ‘

There was a subtle ’ intoxication
tingling through all his veins as he
walked to her house through the blaz-
ing noon. He remembered that undo-

fined look in her eyes,‘ that deepening

color on her cheek. Nature, in his

luxuriant, white-heat mood, seemed

suddenly to show him the promise of
rich, free bounteously lavish gifts. At
last! at‘last-i She had starved him

hitherto; goaded. him, pressed him
hard; allowed him to-slip into depths
from which the better half of his soul
recoiled; cursed him with atcmpera-
ment in which blinding follies could,

’under circumstances, rise like a blood-
red cloud before the vision. But if now
she turned toward him. in her rich cap-
rice, if she gave him this been! . . ‘

The transition from the glaze of th

street to the cool darkness of the little
drawing-room was dazzling for a mo-
ment. He saw Bertha, a wealth in
white garments, 'rise, and he felt the
fugitive touch of her hand. There was
some one else in the room. A 'man.
Miss Ellworth turned to offer an intro-
duction. Penfield's pupils had adjusted
themselves by this time. He saw dis-
tinctly who the man was. An almost
imperceptible suspension of expression
showed him that the other gave him a
chance to ignore former acquaintance

' if he chose. Penfield did not avail him-

self of the chance. ,

“Mr.'Ives and I have met
said.

He understood the whole situation,
intuitively, at once. There is a look in
a woman's face when she is surprised to
the presence of the man she loves which
no man, the more if he loves her him-
self, mistakes. That dual consciousness,
always so prominent in Penfield, made
him wonder, fleetingly, at his own
calmness. ‘

l “'I did not expect to meet you here,"
he said. _

“ I have been here two months,” Ives
replied.

Penfield remained every moment of
the time that a conventional call _ re-

before, " he

- quired, and he and Ives. talked during

the interval. Bertha Ellworth. as he
finally got up, put out a ‘tremulous
hand. She had nothing to blame her-
self for. If her inexperience had mis-
taken for one brief moment—a fleeting
emotion for the coming of the king—
other women have gone through that
bone episode as many times without
pangs of conscience. But Bertha Ell-
worth’s soul was of finer fibre. Penfield
walked straight through the broad
sleeping streets of the moonlit town out
into the burning country. Over the
hot fields one reached the cliffs; from
the clefts of the white rocks one saw‘the
sea: There Penfield stood some little
time with unseeing eyes that fixed the
' rippled cobalt blue, against which the
sunlight struck .iu diamond sparks.
then suddenly threw up both arms and
dashed himself face downward on the
ground. .

From such mad frenzies of rebellion
against fate it is our wont to‘turn with
all the disapproval of a sanctified re-
spectability. If a man has any strength
of character he accepts the inevitable—
‘like a man. This is our verdict followed
bya shutting of the lips with an ex-
pression which one may designate as
the “personally-saved” one. But its
man has not your strength of mind and
character, oh, my brother, what then?

'Penfield, torn, rent asunder, cheated,

by that luxuriant noon which had
seemed to promise all things, ‘and now
glared on with a herrible nieretricious
indifference to his despair, raiSed his
clinched hands to heaven, like Lucifer,
the fallen star. Life had been against
him from the first! He had stumbled.
he had sinned, he had tried to redeem
himself, he had done what he could, he
had prayed, hoped, bad faith; a golden
vision had flashed across his .sight to
lure him on, he had loved, und‘now she
had been snatched from him—fascinated,
drawn away, by the man to whose
magnanimity he owed everything—the
very breath he was now able to breathe
free under the vault of the sky! And
that man had everything already. In»
tegrity, purity of life, success, all-com-
pelling charm. Do you think that
thought made the cross easier? Nay, a
thousand times harder ! You turn with
horror from the man I draw? I make
him no better than he was.

The flush noon were itself, through
softening gradations of palpitating
light, into slumberous afternoon. The
sun went down, a reddish globe; the
dew formed, the stars came out, the sea
lapped the rocks with a regular, break-
ing motion. -

When the daylight was nearly gone
Penfield got up and walked back over
the refreshed fields. He stumbled
slightly at times, as one may who is
dazed. '

He had to cross the railroad track as
he ,got back to the town. As he ap-
proached the slightly depressed em-
bankment a horse and buggy appeared,
nearing it- at the same time. Though
it was now almost dark, Penfield recog-
nized the silhouette of Arthur Ives in
the driver. Ives, he knew from what
he had told him that afternoon, had his
temporary quarters at the other side of
the town. Some one passing evidently
spoke to him, for the horse was sud-
denly reined in.

A second later a sharp, shrieking
whistle rang through the gloom. The
evening express was coming. Ives‘
horse plunged, reared, dashed forward.
Taken on his guard, with his rein hand
relaxed and his head turned to his inter-
locutor, Ives made an ineffectual effort
to check the animal. At that very mo-
ment the headlight of the locomotive
loomed up the track like abull’s eye
and the night was filled with‘n thunder-
ing rumble. The horse now completely
wild, careered down the embarkment.

Who shall say what passed through,
Penfield's brain in that immeasurable
flush of time? Was it simply the in-
sliuet of aman to savor. man? Was
there, as drowning people are said io
see all the past in the twinkle of an eye,
a perception of the past debt, a heroic
desiye to pay it, a sense of the power of
voluntary martyrdom to wipe out the
sins of an erring soul? ‘

way. With'a superhuman strength he
caught his head. The horse got frantic,
reared again, pawed the air, and, with
his' descending hoof,_ struck Penfield
full in the temple. Ives, by a desperate
sawing, had held back one second. The
train, hissing and rearing, passed on.
The horse dashed wildly across the open
country, carrying away buggy and
driver, and Penfleld lay on the grass,

Fate, brush in life, had been kind to'
himin death. There was no sign of
mangling on the body, and the features,
while against the dew-wet grass-wore a
curiously pepceful look, not often met
in those who die a violent, sudden
death. The restless tempests of a mixed
nature, in which an inherent weakness
had stood a failing agent, were stilled in
a sublime repose, touched by the majesty
and the strength of a final solution—s.
harmony after long discord.

Bertha Ellsworth and Arthur Ives
were married not long after. Their's is a
perfect union. But Ives ' had never
broken the seal of ' loyalty to the‘deud
by disclosing the, link that .hod'bound
Penficld and hTmself together in'the
past, and in this he knows that he does
as his wife—who has akeen sense of
in
woman—would wish him. " -

AN economical dish may be made of
the breast of veal. Wash the breast and

water tocover half of it, adding a finely
minced parsley root, a handful of mush-
rooms, or a cupful of salsify cut in
pieces. Let this cook for an hour and a
half, adding a little powdered mace and
several slices of lemon during the last
quarter of an hour. Should the sauce
not be thick enough, a little brown flour
may be added.

"Dav enocnnms," so called, should
be kept in tight. packages. Oat meal,
cracked wheat, rice, flour, buckwheat,
grit, barley and corn meal, while not
prone to mold or spoil, are subjectto
attacks from ants, maggots and other
forms of insect life. Canned goods,
when opened, should be immediatly
transferred to glass of earthenware re-
ceptacles. ‘Recent researches show
that cases of poisoning. from eating
canned goods arose sometimes from the

SINGING SANDS OF CALIFORNIA.

An examination of the musical sands
of California, which have excited so
much interest on the part of geologists

and others, shows .that they possess a ~

peculiar microscopical structure. .The

' grains are feuud to be chiefly composed
. of small portions of coral and apparent-

ly calcareous sponges; they are all
more :or less perforated with small holes,
'in some instance forming tubes, but
mostly terminating in blind cavities,
which are frequently enlarged in the
interior 'of the grains..communicnting
with the surface by asmall opening.
There were also in the sand small black
particles, formed principallyOf crystals .--
of-augite, nepheline and magnetic oxide
of iron, imbedded ”in 'a glossy matrix.
The structure of these grains explain, it

‘ is thought, why sound is emitted when

set in motion; that is,” the friction
against each causes vibrationsin their
substance and consequently-in the sides

of the cavities they contain—and these ’
vibrations being communicated to the

air in the cavities under the most favor-
able conditions of producing sound,
the result is the loud noise occasioned
when any large mass of. sand is set in
motion, there being, in fact, millions

upon millions of resonant cavities, emh

giving forth sound.

The otter destroys but few fish, using
the word in its popular acceptation.
What it destroys are for food and not
out of love of killing. The greater part
of its diet consists of fresh-water cray-
fish, thousands of which it destroys, and
it is for these that long journeys are
so frequently made. Many miles fun
night are traveled for these crustaceans,
the beds of mountain and moorland
streams being tracked to their-source,
almost every stone on the way being
carefully examined.

There is said to be a tradition that the

Pawnbrokers have a superstition that if

luck all week. And this has become a
rule with people who patronize pawn-
sllops. A man got a $40 overcoat last
winter for $6, because he went into a
pawnbroker‘s the first on Monday and
asked to look at some overcoats.

Steenstrup,. in. his third voyage to
Greenland, 1876-80, found the native
iron, however, in a basaltic rock in
grains varying from a fraction of a-
millimeter to 18 millimeters. It also
occurs on the western and northern
sides of Disco Island and in other
places. This‘settles beyond a doubtl

Ata meeting of the Academy of Sci-

formations of Wyoming. These huge
pachydrems, which seem most to resem.
his the European coryphodon des-
cribed by M. Hebert, are especially
remarkable for the characteristic horny"
protuberances “on the frontal regions,
whence their name. The skull is also

Engineering, as defined in the char-
ter of the Institution of Civil- Engi-
neers, London, is " the art of directing
the’great sources of power in nature for
the use and convenience of man," and
therefore an engineer may be described
as one whose. business is to modify and
adapt the'forces and materials of nature
to the end specified. It is the Versatility
of the engineer, says Prof. Ryan, of
Bristol, that distinguishes him profes.
sicnally, and though he may be en-
gaged in routine work, it is by virtue of

difficulties that he is an engineer.

 

The comparatively inexhaustible char-
acter of the gold deposits of Australia
is shown by the fact that in one part of
the Ophir district in New South Wales
the principal quartz reef or blow.
known as the Bluff, is at or near the
identical, spot where Hargraves found
the first gold, the discovery» of which
has been the principal cause of Aus-
tralia's rapid advancement. Here a
solid mass of quartz, several yards in
thickness and fully a hundred feet in
height meets the eye. The quartz has
a decidedly auriferous appearance, con-
taining gelena, iron, arsenical pyrites,
and probably a good percentage of oil-
ver. There is. a very excellent site for
quartz crushing machinery near the
blufi‘, and the quartz can be obtained in
almost unlimited quantities. The couno
try between Ophir and Orange has
marked. signs of' the. prevalence of gold-
deposits, especially within a few miles
of Orange.

About the year 185o-one Sabine Small.
arespectable and well-to—do yeoman oi
Harwieh, in Barnstable county, con-
oeived the idea of cultivating crun-
berries, and thus uninstructed—savo by
the natural instincts peculiar to the
sons of Cape Cod—he set to work and
tu'rfed, drained and reclaimed a small
piece of then wOrthless swamp land. _
After he had prepared the bog he set.
out the best-known variety of cranberry
vines. Indue time he found. himself
fabulously rewarded . with a crop of
cranberries that was coollyvlooked upon
as a marvel, or chance freak, never
again to be realized. He set to work,_
however, and increased his area, which
soon stimulated the Yankee genius in
every’town in the county of Barnstable
to’ take a ticket over (the short route to
wealth. Bogs'weretbought at ::marvel-
