Cissy’s lever. -
It was an ordinary picture-a pretty,
slender young girl seated under an ivy-
w1-eathed porch, darning stockings; but :
Philip Staunten's eyes brightened as ’
they rested upon it. and a strange thrill
stirred his unusually unsusceptiblc
heart.
“Have I traversed the wide world
over and gene unscathedall these years."
he asked himself, f‘euly to fall inJove',
at first sight, with artistic divinity out
in the wilds of Yorkshire 7"
At the sound of his footetcps the girl
looked up, with n startled air, the lovely ‘_
peach-bloom color deepening and 1
brighteniug' 1n her velvety- checks.
What Cissy Moreland _saw was a tall,
dark young man, of cight-and-twenty,
i with a somewhat listlcm expression
upon his fine, handsome face. He wore
a tonrist's dress of gray tweed, and car-
ricd a Ismail knapsack slung across his -'
b1oad shoulders.
"May I trouble you for a drink of
water ?" he asked, in a low. musical
voice, that made the young girl stale.
its refined woents were so different
from the rough speech to which she'was
accustomed.
Before Cissy could comply with the
request, the kitchen doorswung sud-I
denly open, and a hard, strong-featured
face, with beetling black brews and
fiery eyes, peered out.
Mrs. Merclaud, Cissy’s stepmother.
“Don't come in here!" she cried, in a
shrill. acrid voice, glowering angrily at
the astonished young man. “You have
nothing I want in that thing. I never
deal with tramps."
“ Oh, mother!" cried Cissy, 1n dismay.
“I am sure this man is no pcdler. "
“He's something worse, then. and
had better go about his business. "
Mrs. Moreland was about to slam the
door, when, by an amusing coincidence,
a pcdlcr's cart drove into the yard.
She was one of those women who
make "distinctions." Though unable
to abide one who carried his pack on
his own back, she had a weakness for
pedlers who had arrived at the dist-111m
tion of driving a cart.
The angry look instantly vanished
from her course face, leaving it bland
and smiling. She decided that Philip
must be the event courier. '
"I'm sure I'beg your pardon," she
said humbly. “I took you for one of
the sort that goes about with smuggled
goods made at home, and cheap laces
they try to palm upon one as genuine '
thread. I'm disgusted with the whole
tribe. And Cissy there has put me all
out of temper with her trifling and
idling. Just like her dead mother, they
say. It's a dreadful trial to have
another woman's child to bring up. I

Cissy “accustomed More traders?!
but they always brought tears to her
eyes. She might have retorted that
her stepmother had seized upon the bit
of property that was left. and usedit
for her own progeny. and kept her clay.-

“Wilit a minute." _ Mrs. Morclaud
resumed gerrnleusly. ' "I've got a lot
of rags stowed away in the gsrret that
I've been keeping until the right person
comes along. Ifyoudon'tI mind being ‘2

A rognish twinkle showed itself in
Plilip Shunton’s eyes. as the good
woman disappeared in the direction of
the upper regions.
“My 'pack' onlycbntalus the kite!

but she caught up her straw hat. and
bringing a tumbler from the pantry
shelf led thewcy to the wellin the
shadow of some lilac bushes at the rem
of the house.
Philip drank the cool water she prof-
fered. as though it had been ambrosia.

A HORSE'S INTELLIGENCE
A horse which had been in possession
of, the Peters family. in" Bushkill. P...
for twenty-years. and which was famous
for" the almost huhran intelligence he
bequently displayed. died recently.
' During the last few years of the horse's
life licked been permitted to run at

SIGNALLING AT SEA.
The vocabulary section of the code
is frequentlynscd for messages which
do not strictly refer to matters mari-
time. The valedictory "farewell" or
the cheerful “welcome" may be transs
mitted with quite as much ease as the
purely. nautical "square your main-
ya " Even in departments of human
activity so far removed from art or
politics, the signal code may find some
application. During the summercruise
of the: British fleet in theModitcrrsnesu

ing through the Straitsof Mcssina. a
steamer flying ' the Turkish flag was
sighted steering toward the harbor.

The case of Flanders is always cited
asan illustration of the benefit of the
peasant proprietorskip, and there. it is
stated, the small farms own more cattle,
yield more produce. and are more care-
fully cultivated than the large farms.
“I have seen in Belgium," says Mr.
Arnold, “women scratching with their
2 fingers fair crops of potatoes from
nearly white sand—a miracle of agri-
cultural industry, of thrift and of pro-
serverauce, such as belongs only to
peasant proprietorship."
In France, again. it is said that eg-
ricultural land fetches a higher price
than in England, and that the largest
clear produce and the best cultivation
are. on the whole, that of the peasant
proprietors. M'steleye asserts posi-
tively that the richest and most pro-
ductive provinccsin France are those
in which the small landowners are in a
majority. and Mr. Clifi‘e Leslie, in the ‘
chapter he contributes to the volume on
the “ Systems of Land Tenure of Vari-
ous Countries." published by the Ooh
den Club. has much to say in the same
direction. The reply to all this. fairly
cnougk. is. that France 1s not England,
and that in France there are special
circumstances of soil and climate—as- .
1100111101! with vinc'growing. fruit culture
and the like—which renders the country
appropriate to a '31:) petite culture."
A peasant proprietor in France can, on
'tcnacresof land, make ends meet. and,
' put a little info the family "stocking"
cvcryycar. but it does not follow that a
peasant proprietor of ten acres in Eng-
!audcoulddo the same. It is silvery
well to urge market gardening; but
the demand for garden produce is not
limitless. and is already abundantly
'3supplicd; partly at home, but mostly

qualified by nature for the purpose.

An old fellow who had served during
several weeks on an Arkansas jury
created a sensation in court by arising
during a trial and addressing the judge.
‘I‘Squir," said he, “jes listen to me a
minit. if you please. I reconnizc- the
fact that I have made a big mistake. I
come here an’ hung round tryin' to git
on the Jury. an' at last I got that.”
" Well. what re the matter with you?"
the judge demanded.
“I’m cemih’ to that. I got there, as
I told you. an' we lit into bus’n'é‘ss. I
thought that I would hear all about
how fellers got killed an’ how somebody
was murdered. an‘ I thout that we'd
say some feller was guilty an” would see
him hung, but I was disappointed.

The three oldest consulting libraries
in the United States are those of Har-
vard, Yale and the New York society.
Harvard College began its career with a
library which was part of the bequest
from John Harvard. but in 1764 a fire
totally destroyed its accumulations of
120 years. Yale college began its 001-
lections in 1700, and was aided thirty- .
three years later by the bequest of 1,000
volumes from Bishop Berkeley; yet in
1764 it amounted to only 4,000 volumes. _
The New York society’s library,2now
containing 80,000 volumes, was founded
in 1700, but did not take this name until
1754.
The fourth oldest library is thatin
Philadelphia. founded by Benjamin
Franklin and his friends in 1781. The
library has now over 130,000 volumes,
and in some respects is unsurpassed by
any other collection of books in the
country. Its mcome is about $26, 000 a
year, of which a third only‘ 13 available

attempts, with much success. to do the

library, whose incomc is $125, 000.
am! RIVERS or m Ewonm
The combined length of the M1ssrs-' '
sippi and Mmo’ uri rivers is 4,506 miles;
that of the Amazon and its longest
tributary is about 4,000 miles. The
Huang-Ho, in China, is estimated at
8,000 miles; the Murray river in Austral.
lie at 3,000; the Nile at 3,300; the Obi
in Asiatic Siberia at 3,000; the Yangtse-
Klang in China at 3.000. The Amazon
is entitled to be called the greatest river
in the world. It drains, with its tribut-
aries an "area of 2,330,000 square miles
and is navigable 3,360 miles. The vol-
‘nmc of water it carries is the greatest
of any river on the globe, with the ex-
ception of the St. Lawrence, which
comprises the chain of lakes. At its
mouth the Amazon is 150 miles wide;
its average width is 2 miles. The aver-
age width of the Mississippi is 3,000
feet; that of the Missouri 800 feet. The
Murray, Nile and Obi respectively 500.
500 and 350fect wide, while the Yangtse-
King is 1,000 feet in width. The
Mlsslssr' ' 'ppi and Missouri combined are
navigable 3,950 miles; the Mississippi
alone, 2,200 miles. The depth of the
Mississippi is from 75 to 120 feet. No
accurate measurement of the other
rivers named has been recorded.

SUCCESS OF THE REPUBLIC.
The United States have justly been
called the home of the disinherited of
the earth ; but if those vanquished
under one sky in the struggle for ex-
istence had not continued under another "
the same battle in which they have
been once worsted, there would have
been no such exploit performed as the
cultivation of the vast American ten-i-
tory from end to end and from side to
side. There could be no grosscr dc-
lusioh than suppose this result to have
been attained by democratic legislation.
The government of the United States
now rests on universal suffrage, but
then it is only a political government.
It is a government under which coercive
restraint, except in politics. is reduced
to a minimum. There has hardly ever
before been a community in which the
weakhave been packed so pitilessly to .
the wall, in which those who have suc-
ceeded have so uniformly been the
strong, and in which, in so short a
time, there has arisen so great an in-‘
equality of private fortune and domestic
luxury. And, at the same time, there .
has never been a conulay in which. on
the whole, the persons distanced in the
race haveeufi‘cred so little from their
ill-success. All this beneficcnt pres-
pcrity is the fruit of recognizing the
principle of population. and the one
remedy for its excess in perpetual emi-
gration.
In the Pittsburg 01! region a well has
been burning with a flame so feet high;
It gtarts from apipe that is 75 feet high". 2 -
