Away from the Crowd.
From the crowd and the crush of the ball-room
I wandered with Winifred where,
In the dimness and dusk of a. small room
That oped at the foot of the stair,
Apart from the quibble and quarrel
0f the throng with its smile and its frown,
The lords of the lyre and the laurel
Looked placldly down.
We talked in a lull ’twixt the dances,
That frolicsome holiday time,
or parties, and plays, and romances,
Till we drifted at last into "rhyme."
And I heard her—supremest of pleasures.
With clear modulation repeat
From Aldrich. my favorite measures,
Surprisingly sweet.
A murmurous ripple of laughter
Broke in when I called them divine;
She paused for a moment, and after,
She quoted a ditty of mice—-
A love song, which, though I concealed it.
Set all my pulses astir,
And which, though I ne’er had revealed it,;
Was written to her.
What was itt—the hour with its glamour,
The perfume, the lights burning low,
The violins’ rhythmical clamor,
The mellow and musical flow
or her voice with its depth of expression,
That led me to boldly confess?—
Ah! that, and what followed confession,
I leave you to guess!
Two of The m.
Katie Goldie and I were great friends,
in spite of the difference in our positions-
she being Farmer Goldie’s only daugh-
ter, and I the only child of the rector of
the some little sea-bounded village.
We had grown up from babyhood, knit
together by the similiarity of our cir-
cumstances—both the same age, both
mother-lessboth only daughters of doting
fathers, to whom we were equally devoted.
“What is the matter?” I cried, as I’
approached her one day. .
"Nothing is the matter;I was but
thinking, and I want your advice. Miss
Florence. You see," she began, “they
both wants to marry me, and I don’t
know which to take. I was thinking
about it when you came up. ”
“ But who are ‘they’ ?" Iasked; “ are
‘they’ Jim Taylor and Walter Butler?
for if so—”
“ N o," sadly, “not Walter Butler; it’s
Jim Taylor and David Wardour."
“I was not speaking of myself, but
of them. Jim Taylor and David War-
dour; which shall it be, Miss Florence f”
I withdrew my arm from hers in a
transport of righteous indignation.
“I don't understand you,"vI cried;
“why should it be either, when you
care for Walter ?"
It was her turn to be indignant now;
she turned round on me fiercely.
“ alter, Walter," she said ; “ why
do you keep on talking of him ? “ Ah !"
with something that sounded like a
sob, “ how very stupid you are I"
Then you had better not ask my ad-
vice," I answered, highly offended. But
she heeded me not, and continued,-
“ Miss Florence, what I wants to know
is this: “ Which is the richest of the
two, and which is the kindest hearted ?
Mr. Bowles has known them both over
so long; have you heard him say ?"
But I was too thoroughly indignant
to answer her question.
“ Kate, " I said loftily, “ I amashemed
of you! I never .thought you would
look at matrimony in this spirit ; it’s
quite shocking. Which is the richest,
indeed! Oh! it is horrible! It ought
to be no question of money ; only of
which you —you—love the best. I never
thought you would be so worldly and
frivolous. "
“Miss Florence, you are a goose !"
was Kate’s unmannerly rejoinder, as
she walked away from me towards home,
leaving me still with an expression of
conscious virtue depicted on my noble
countenance.
During the days that ensued I saw
nothing of Kate, and by degrees it
dawned on me that we two old friends
were indulging in the folly of a quarrel.
I was, however, sincerely disgusted with
her, and my disgust increased when a
few days after I met her in the corn-
field, my father announced to me that
he had heard in the village that phe
was engaged to be married to Jim
Taylor.
“ You must go this afternoon to con-
gratulate her, Flo," he concluded, quite
unaware that Kate and Iwere not on
speaking terms.
But this state of things could not con-
tinue, so Itook his advice and went
down to Hawthorn Farm, in the after-
noon to offer my congratulations. I
found Kate looking ill, with dark rings
around her eyes, and by no means the
blushing bride-elect. She received my
congratulations very calmly.
“He is here," she said; “I will call
him. Jim, come here and speak to Miss
Florence. He is shelling peas for me,"
she continued. "I always make him
useful-I can't abide idle fellows.
I began to feel rather sorry for Jim.
He came in, however, anything but sorry
for himself, radiant and blushing as any
girl ; but as he was eminently uncom-
fortable in my presence, Kate dismissed
him to the peas again and resumed her
conversation. She was far more talk-
ative than usual, being as a rule rather
silent.
“Yes? she continued, “we shall
marry very soon, so as to be well settled
down before harvest time;y.ou know,
Miss Florence, we are going to live here
and manage the farm. Father is get-
ting old, and he worries himself todeath
about things; so now Jim and Iwill do
it all, and Jim has plenty of capital 1"
defiantly.
"Oh, yes, it's all very nice, ”I answered
somewhat sarcastieally, " and I am sure
Jim is a good fellow,” I added more
warmly, “ he looks it."
"Oh, he is very well;” then, more
brightly, “I'll tell you what he is, Miss
Florence; he is a right down good
farmer, and that is what we want here. "
“ I am very glad to hear it, " I answered,
and very shortly after took my leave.
There was arestraint about us both
that made the interview anything but
satisfactory, and I was pleased—almost
for the first time in my life—to leave
sweet Hawthorn Farm, where I had
always been so happy.
As I walked through the village street
/ toward home, who should I encounter
but Walter Butler? He was countering
along with his hands in his pockets.
whistling loudly and looking anything
but the lovesick swain. For the first
time, good-looking as he was, his coun-
tenance repelled me, and involuntarily
Icontrasted it with Jim’s straightfor-
ward, ingenuous face. How idle he
looked, too! Surely he could not again
have left his place. When last I had
seen him he had been keeper to Mr.
Groves, about three miles inland.
“ Good-evening, Walter," I said.
“Good-evening, miss."
“ Are you home for a holiday ?"
“I’ve left Mr. Groves," he answered,
somewhat defiantly.
“I’m sorry for that," Ireplied. “I
am afraid you are rather arolling stone."
‘ “I am not a-going to stay in a place
where I am not trusted,” he responded,
almost impertinently. Then: "So Kate
Goldie is going to be married? I won-
der how Jim Taylor will like keeping
that old| father of hers?‘ Ireckon he
won’t make much out of that place, as
he has had nothing put into it for these
many years past. "
“That is his affair, " I answered.
“Good-evening, Walter," and I passed
on.
Six weeks later Katie Goldie and Jim
Taylor were made man and wife in the
little village church. To my mind,
Kate looked beautiful. Her simple
white dress and bonnet became her
better than her ordinarily rather smart
attire, and her unusual pallor was an
improvement to her. The happy pair
went straight home to Hawthorn Farm,
and began the business of life at once.
The whole affair seemed sadly lacking
in romance. -
All this ‘ time Walter remained idling
about the village, picking up a few
shillings at hiiyLmaking, harvesting,
etc., and haunting Hawthorn Farm as
soon as ever Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were
settled there. He would stroll up to
the house and present his handsome
face at the kitchen window, where Kate
would be busy with her cooking or her
baking, or he would walk boldly in and
offer to help her with anything in which
she was employed. On some pretext
or other he was long absent, and soon
my father began to look grave about it
and say he feared that Walter Butler
was not up to much good, 'and that the
village people were beginning to talk.
In those days I often used to go and
see Kate, and always found her busy
and industrious, but with a haggard,
worried look in her eyes that ought not
to have been there, for her afi'airs were
looking up—the harvest was a good one,
Jim worked like two men, fences were
repaired, more hands were taken on,
new machinery bought, and altogether
Hawthorn Farm began to wear a faint
resemblance to its former self. on Mr.
Goldie, too, was perfectly happy; Jim
was an attentive and respectful son-in-
law, and it seemed to me that, except
that her husband was too soft, as she
once said to me, Kate had nothing to
complain of. . _
One afternoon when I strolled up
there, Ifound. to my annoyance, Walter
Butler, with a pipe in his mouth. sitting
in the best parlor, while Kate set in the
window mending. I at once evinced
my displeasure by saying, with marked '
coldness——
“I will not stay, Kate, as I see you
are occupied," and I was about to with
draw, when she flung down her work
and came after me.
“Oh, Miss Florence, do stay—do
stay!”
There was a ring of entreaty in her
voice that struck me, and I turned
round again. '
“I can't stay, ” I answered, “if Walter
Butler is sitting there smoking."
" He sha'n’t sit there—he shall go. "
“I thought you could not abide lazy
fellows, Kate?” I continued, somewhat
maliciously.
“No more I can,” she answered,
flushing. “I hate them! Oh, I hate
them!" '
There was a passion, a fire about her
as she ejaculated these words, that puz-
zled me and made me at once go back
with her. We found Walter still
lounging on the pretty chintz-covered
sofa, but my presence seemed to make
Kate brave, and she said to him:
“Now, just you go about your busi-
ness, Walter, and take your nasty pipe
out of this reom when Miss Florence is
coming into i "
He rose sulkily enough.
“Good-by, Kate," he said patroniz-
ingly, made me a surly salute, and was
about to leave the room, when Jim came
iii—fair, red-faced, happy as usual.
Not so happy, though, that he could
not shoot a glance of anger and con-
tempt at Walter. -
"What are you a-doing here 1'” he
asked, and then turned, after greeting
me, to Kate. "My dear.” he said,
gently, “I would like my tea early
to-day, if you please."
I stayed and had tea with them, and
was more than ever struck by Jim's
gentleness and goodness to his wife,
and his innate good-breeding. I began
to think that Kate had married well,
after all.
Her manner toward him was singu-
larly variable. One minute it was cold,
the next it was warm; it was contemptu-
ous, yet at times respectful—altogether
a riddle. ‘
“What a good husband you have,
Kate!” as he left the room to return
again to his work.
“Yes," she answered, “he is 'well
enough; he is very good to father and
me, that I can't deny, but he’s not
much of a man," she added, with some
contempt. “ When you marry, Miss
Florence, marry a man as will look after
you.”
“ Why, Kate, Jim is always thinking
of you. I should not have thought that
you, who are so' very independent, cared
to be looked after so muc ”
“You are not married, Miss Florence.
You don’t understand," and with this
rather humiliating remark the conver-
sation ceased.
It was a few weeks after this that Jim
proved himself the man in the sense I
could not understand, in so satisfactory
a manner that he and Kate have been
the happiest of couples ever since.
Kate told me all about it in a moment
of expansion, following immediately
after the event.
It seems that one day when Walter
was lounging about her while she was
busy in her kitchen garden, Jim came
. in very quietly—he was always quiet——
at an hour when he was usually out in
the fields, with a heavy carter’s whip in
hand. He walked up to Walter.
“New," said he, quite calmly, “I
want to know what business you have
here, prowling about my wife ? If ever
I catch you in this here garden or house
again I will lay this "—holding upthe
whip—“ about your shoulders; so now
you had better be gone.”
Walter stored in amazement at the
quiet, fair-haired man.
” You cut, you!” he said.
“An oaf, am I?" said 'Jim. “Then
take this,” and he gave him a smart cut
with the whip.
With a cry of rage Walter tried to
spring on him, but Jim kept his head
and warded him off.
“Don’t try that," he said, "or you
will get the worst of it," and he raised
the whip again menacingly. “Kate,
go in,” he went on with a ring of au-
thority in his voice she had never heard
there before.
But she did not stir. How could she,
when love and admiration for her hus-
band were surging in her veins, and
her heart was beating so that she could
not move ? .
For one minute the two men stood
cying each other, and then lithe and
active Jim had seized Walteraround the
waist- and thrown him to the ground.
There was a cry of ,joy, of pride, and
Kate ran up to her husband.
“ Oh. Jim, I am so glad!"
He looked at her wonderingly, but
he did not answer, for Walter, with an
evil, white face, had risen to hisfeet,
and finding his despised antagonist too
much for him, was prepared to beat a
hasty retreat. The sight of Kate cling-
ing to her husband’s arm seemed too-
much for him. He shook his fist,
speechless with fury, then slowly with-
drew, turning round from time to time
to repeat the gesture. But Kate and
her husband had entered the house—he
quite calm and quiet again, a fact which
impressed his wife with his strength
of both body and mind.
“ Did you say you were glad, Kitty ?"
he asked incredulously.
“Oh, so glad! Jim, I have been so
miserable. He would come here day
after day, and reproach me with behav-
ing badly to him, and say thatIhad
promised to marry him. So I had; but
after I had said yes, he cooled oh", and
never came near me. Then I grew
sore and angry, and when he went away
without a word to me, I vowed I would
have nothing more to say to him. It
was just about that time that poor father
lost so much money, and when'you
came and asked me to marry you, I
thought as how you were rich and——”
“Yes, yes, I know all about that,
Kitty; you did not hide from me why
you married me. But why did you
never tell me how Walter persecuted
you? I would soon have sent him
about his business. I thought," sadly
and hesitatingly, “that you liked him
to come. "
“AndI thought," with downcast eyes,
“that you were not—not man enough,
Jim, and I was angry that you did not
. but his heart is not adamant.

show more spirit, and 1‘ said to myself
you were but a poor thing. But now,"
with a glow of pride, “ I know different-
ly; and oh, I am so glad he is gone! He
is a bad man."
Jim drew her to him and kissed her.
“Hols a bad ’uu, Kate; and do you
know why he became so cool and dis-
tant to you after asking you to marry
him? Because he found out that afi'airs
here were in a bad way, and that you
would have uncommonly little money
instead of a great deal, as he fancied.
Don't you think you are well rid of him
fora husband ?”
“I do, Jim; indeed I do. And Jim, I
have always been a good wife to you,
although I did marry you because
you were rich and would let father live
with us; but now—" in a whisper—“you
know-yes, you know—"
" What Kitty? Say it out loud."
“Why, you know that I love you."
That is word for word as Kate told the
story to me. She is a comely matron
now, with half a dozen children about
her. I am still Miss Florence, not
having yet found the man equal to look-
ing after me.

ALI. ABOUT MOLASSES.
Even molasses is no longer pure,
grocers confess; although not one
retailer in ten will purchase mixed
molasses, knowing it to be such; nine-
tenths of the mixed molasses sold has,
as a matter of fact, been sold by decep-
tion—that is, palmed off as pure goods.
The mixed goods, of course, make a
much brighter, more stylish line of
mollnssos than the pure; but this fancied
superiority lies only in the appearance
of the goods. How as to quality? Well,
the mixed stuff has so disgusted consu-
mers that there has actually been dan-
ger of the molasses trade being driven
out of this part of the country. The
mixture of molasses, glucose, acids,
waters, etc, has been highly dissatis-
factory to housekeepers, is driving
molasses out of request, and compelling
more and more the use of sugar. In
the city of New York, the consumer can
hardly find a quart of pure New Orleans
molasses. He may go into the very
best grocery stores—places where he
expects to find pure goods—and though
the clerks will swear that they have the
pure unadulterated article, and under-
take to prove it by asking such a price
as the pure should be sold at, he cannot
get it. It looks good, is a little thin, of
course, but you are told that it is all on
account of the unusually warm weather;
it is sent home. and the lover of the
good old standard New Orleans finds. to
his disgust, when about to use it, that
he has been sold. The country mer-
chant has better luck, because New
Orleans is more used in the country
than in the cities, and the merchants
very seldom get stuck with the adulter-
ated article; and never a second time.
The finest grades of Porto Rico resemble
New Orleans, and we are told that some
of the Porto Rico manufacturers pur-
chase barrels at New Orleans to pack
their stock in, so that the buyer in this
country will take it for the genuine: It
is not the genuine article, however, but
far superior to the vile mixtures thal
contain glucose, acids and water.

THREE GREAT COMPOSERS.
Auber was sometimes surprised at the
grandeur of his fame. He was modesty
itself, and it is rather amusing to com-
pare him to another composer, acou-
temporary of his, Spontini, who at a
dress rehearsal of one of his operas (I
believe it was “Olympia ") appeared at
the desk in grand costume, covered with
all the decorations he was favored with.
Approaching the desk slowly and majes-
tically, he elevated the baton, fixed his
eagle eyes on the orchestra and chorus,
and spoke as follows: “ Gentlemen, the
work which we are going to have the
honor of performing is a masterpiece.
Now then!" Auber seemed to be always
providing for a rainy day. He perpetu-
ally noted down motives. Then, when
he had an opera to write, he took his
sketch books and there chose among
the thousands of notes what he wanted.
He used to say that the difficulty for
him was not to get millions, but to know
how properly to spend them or use
them. So long as there is a question of
musical notes that may be so, but if
there should be a. question of bank
notes, it seems to me the case is the
reverse—a much greater difficulty how
to accumulate millions than to spend
them. It is clear that, with so many
operas pouring from his ever-ready pen,
he occupied a greater number of singers,
and he had a1Ways something soothing
to say, even when he was not particularly
pleased; for instance, of Bicquier, who
used to sing with a downright intona-
tion, he said: “Ricquier sings between
the keys of the piano. " Berlioz did not
use such kid gloves when he had some-
thing to say against a singer. He wrote
about Duprez, whose perpetual eclats dc
coir broke at last even his steel organ,
although he had for thirteen years tyran-
nized over the opera without anybody
daring to say what everybody was hint-
ing: “Duprez shouts so that it hurts
the chest of the audience."

With the astrologers a large nose was
always a sign of much character of some
kind, but what," was determined by
other characteristic marks. A Roman
nose was a sign of a courageous temper
and a disposition to face and overcome
difficulties, while a more strongly aqui-
line nose was an indication of mpacity;
the idea being evidently borrowed from
the similarity of this description of beak
to that of the eagle, the most rapacious
of birds. The snub-nose showed little
character but much temper, while the
Greek nose, even, straight and regular,
wasasign of the temperament of the
owner. Large nostrils indicated good
lungs, health and long life, while swell-
ing nostrils showed a warlike spirit and
fire. A very sharp nose was considered
an indication of a busy-body, while a
bluntness at the end of this member
was an outward sign of the possessor-'1:
mental lack of acuteness. Large ears
were always had, the similarity between
their owner and the donkey being sup-
posed to extend further than the care,
while small cars ' were always good.
The lobe of the ear passing insensibly
into the check was a sure sign of a thief
and liar, while an exceedingly sharp
division between the two indicated
honesty and candor. Thick ears meant
.thick‘brains, while thin, delicate ears
declared their possessor to be a man of

GOOD WIVES.
A good wife is to a man wisdom, strength
and courage ; a bad one is confusion, weak
ness and despair. There is no outward pro.
priety which can counteract indolence, ex.
travagance and folly at home. No spirit can
long endure bad influence. Man is strong,
He needs a
tranquil mind, and especially if he is an in.
telligent man with a. whole head, he needs a
moral force in the conflict of life. To recov.
or his composure, home must be a place of
peace and of comfort. There hissoul renown
its strength, and goes forth with renewed
vigor to encountervthe labors and troubles of
life. But if at home he finds no rest, and
there is met with bad temper, jealousy and
gloom, assailed with complaints and cen-
sures, hope vanishes and he sinks into des
pair. ‘

FRUIT.
The Lancet regards the increased use
of fruit in‘ ordinary diet as one of the
most salutary tendencies of domestic
management in our day. The starchy
and. saccharine components of fruit,
while they are not equal in accumulated
force to the more solid ingredients of
. meat and future similarly useful in
their own degree and have tiie'advaui

lution up oinfing James S. Cole, of Bridge-
port, 8n Joseph E. Fields, of Easton,
commissioners of the Weston turnpike.
Senator-Chapman called up the bill provid.
mg fOr spark arrearages. The bill has
been amended so as to make the penalty
for the latter offense $50 in place of
$1.000. After short discussion it was
tabled. .
Harem—The house railroad committee
reported adversely on bill introduced by
Mr. Hart, of Stamford, providing for a
regulation of freighls by board of railroad
commissioners. The committee on con-
stitutional amendments reported favorable
the proposed amendment relating to the
term of office of senators, making terms
quadrenniai,beginniug (in the odd dis-
tricts) on the first Monday of November,
' 1888, and in‘he even districts a yearlater.
WEDNESDAY .
Snunrs.-——Mr. Golden, from the military
committee, reported in favor of bill 71 .for
headstones of honorably discharged sol-
diers and sailors at an expense of $5.00;
calendar. Mr. Brewster, from the temper.
ance committee, reported adversely on
bill 67. It prohibits employment in places
where liquor is sold of any person who,
within a year, has had his license revoked.
On Mr. Brewster’s motion it was rejected.
The Memorial day appropriation bill was
passed. Resolution that a joint committee
of two senators and three representatives
be appointed to prepare, during the recess,
a bill to be presented to the next General
Assembly, providing for such changes in
the laws as are made necessary by the
constitutional amendment relating to bi-
cnnial sessions; passed.
Houss.—-Thc bill was achrsely report-
ed and rejected prohibiting licensing of
saloons near the boundaries of no license
towns. Also bill against club houses.
Also bill reducing fees of prosecuting
agents. Alsojbill validating designations
of oyster grounds heretofore made by the
majority of any town oyster committee.
Also bill exempting from taxation $3,000
of the estate of veteran soldiers. Bill rc-
straining the running of Sunday trains re-
rtcd adversely. Mr. Graham,of Orange,
said the bill legalized the running of cer-
tain trains. Tile committee did not think
this advisable. The trains are run illegal.
ly, and it is better to let the matter be.
Mr. Hubbard, of Middletown, favored
having a definite law. ' Mr. Graham again
argued against legalizing Sunday traffic.
Mr. Dewlluret, of Voluutowu, would have
been better satisfied if the committee had
reported a prohibitory bill. Mr. Graham
said the committee contemplated report-
ing a bill prohibiting railroad and steam-
boat excursions on Sunday. Mr. Good-
win, of East Hartford, said he opposed
the bill. If it was wicked to run trains
on Sunday, it was wicked to run them to
camp meetings, or to run through ex-
presses, although clcrgymen did not ob-
jeot to these. He believed nine-tenths _of
the ministers would go after their mails
Sunday if they could get it. Mr. Brew-
ster, of Brooklyn, rdortcd that he knew a
denomination that would promptly throw
overboard the nine-tenths of its ministers
who did sucha thing. The bill was re-
jected.

The Hartford Times of Friday contained
this pungent paragraph : .
The arena of the Fairfield county con-
test is in Bridgeport to-day, and will be in
Norwalk tomorrow, the committee on
new counties and county seats having de-
cided to visit both places. First Select-
man Strong, of Bridgeport. suggested in
the hectic yesterday that if the com-
mitteo wou d do so he would like to have
them “stay in Bridgeport over night and
play poker until morning." ' From the re-
cogmzed ability of Bridgeport poker play
crs, it is probable that. the committee
would come back from their trip poorer
if not wiser, and with the fixed impression
that Bridgeport does not need a court
house half as much as it needs a bigger
jail.
Mr. A. B. Davenport,hat manufacturer,
engaged Mr. Charles E. Doty as a book-
keeper. As soou as this fact became
known in the factory, the people employed
in it sent a committee to Mr. Davenport
remonstrating against the employment of
a person who had proved himself during
the lock-out and on other numerous 060.8-
sions, their bitter and unrelenting enemy.
They were very determined not to work
in the same factory with him, and as a
consequence Mr. Doty is not employed
by Mr. Davenport in any capacity.—

Why everyone necdsf and should take
Hood’s Sarsaparilla in the spring :—-
1st: Because the system is now in its
greatest need. Hood’s Sal'saparilla gives

. 2nd: Because the blood is sluggish and
impure. Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies.
3d: Because, from the above facts,
Hood’s Sarsapariila will do a greater
amount of good now than at any other
timc. Take it now.

for the disease of women, and perhaps
nothing is more effectual than the testi-

Sucn an one is the wife of General Bar-

from the General’s letter as follows: “Dear
Mrs. Pinkhnm: Please allow me to add
my testimony to the most superb medi-
cinal qualities of your Vegetable Com-
pound. Mrs. Barriuger was treated for
several years for what the physicians called
Leucorrhea and Prolapsus combined. I

permanent benefit She was induced to
try your medicine and after reasonable
time commenced to improve and is now
able to attend to her business and consid-
ers herself fully relieved.” [General Bar-

“ W hat scared you, my dear l’:"
I “I was in the kitchen just now when, .
