Is Night. unto mortals unwrapp'dln its gloom:
And all the long hours are as speedy as minutes.
a While, through the deep shadows. bright
scenarios loom.
When slumber and solitude bear on the senses. ‘
The mind may repair to some region of bloom,
Where no sluggish matter can hide the bright

splendors
The hearts of the calm, happy natives illume;
Where hate, fear, and sorrow find no sort of

But where lucent spectacles constantly loom.
Like some wretched captive releas'd from his
dungeon,
With joy does it fly from its marrowy room.
Away. to such lucid and beautiful visions.
At night—for at night the most beautiful loom.
And when the dim curtain of Death drops around

Undaunted, the mind. may be. may meet its

For if holy Truth. Love, and Justice are with it,
Through night sempiternal, bright visions may

A Second Thought. }
' "I 'must have it, George," said Mr.
Whitman's handsome little wife. "So
don’t put on that sober face.“ Q
“Did I put on a'sober fMe ?" asked
the husband, with an attempt to smile.
that was anything but a success.
“Yes. sober as a man on trial for his
life," she replied. “There, dear. clear
it up, and look as if you had one friend
in the world. What money-lovers you
men are 1"
"How much will it cost 1’" inquired
_ Mr. Whitman.
There was another efi‘ort to look
cheerful and acquiescent.
"About six pounds." was answered,
with just a little faltering in the lady’s
voice. for she knew the sum would be
extravagant. ‘
"Six pounds! Why. Mary, do you
think I am made of money 1'"
And Mr. Whitman's countenance
underwent a remarkable change of ex-
pression.
"I declare. George." said his wife, 9.
~ little impatiently, “you look at me as
if Iwere anobject of fear instead of_
affection. I don't think this is'kind of
you. I’ve only had three silk dresses
since we were married, while Amy
Bright has had six or seven during the
same time, and every one of hers cost
more than mine. I know you think me
extravagant, but I wish youhad a wife
like some women I could name. I
rather think you would find out the
difference before long. "
“There. there, pet, don’t talk to me
after this fashion ! I’ll bring you the
money this evening, that is if——"
” No ifs nor buts. if you please. The
sentence is complete without them.
Thank you. dear! I'll go this afternoon
and buy the silk. Sodon't fail to bring
the money. I was in —— street yester-
day, and saw one of the sweetest pat-
terns I ever beheld. Just suits my style
and complexion. I shall be inconscl-
able if it's gone. You won't disappoint
me ?"
And Mrs. Whitman laid her soft,
white hand on the arm of her husband
and smiled with swoet persuasion in his
face.
"Oh, no. You shall have the money,‘
said Mr. Whitman, turning off from his
wife, as she thought, a little abruptly,
and hurrying from herpresence.
In this precipitation he had forgotten
the usual parting kiss. ' '
“That's the way it is always!" said
Mrs. Whitman, her whole manner chang-
ing. as the sound of the closing street
door came jarring upon her ears. " Just
say ‘mcney"to George, and at once
there is a cloud in the sky."
She sat down, pouti'ngand half angry.
“ Six pounds for a new dress!" men-
tally ejaculated the. husband of the
vain, pretty and thoughtless Mrs. Whit-
man, as be shut the door after him. “I
promised to settle the coal merchant's
bill tc-day, but I don't know where the
money is to come from. The coal is
nearly out, and more must be'ordered.
Oh. dear! I'm discouraged. Every year
Ifall behindhand. This winter I’did
hope to get a little in advance; but if
silk dresses are to be the order of the
day. there's an end to that devoutly-
to-be-wished-for circumstance. Debt—
debtl how Ihave always shrunk from
it! But steadily. now. it is overpower-
ing me.‘ Oh, if I could but disentangle
myself now, while I have the strength
of early manhood; but the bonds that
hold meareweak. If Mary could see
as I see—if I could only make her,
understand rightly my position i Alas,
that is hopelm I fear."
And Mr. Whitman quickened his
steps. because his heart beat quicker,
and his mind was unduly excited.
Not long after Mr. Whitman had left
home, the postman delivered a letter to
his address. His wife examined the
writing on the envelope. which wasin
a bold hand, and said to herself as she
did so. "I wonder who this can be
from i"
Something more than curiosity moved
her. There intruded on her mind a
vague feeling of disquiet. as if the mis-
sive bore unpleasant news for her hue-
band. The stamp showed it to bee
city letter. Several times of late such
letters had come to his address. and she
noticed that he read them hurriedly.
thrust them. without remark. into his
pocket, and became suddenly silent and
gloomy.
Mrs. Whitman turned the letter over

thoughtful way. and as she did “so. the ,,
image of her husband. sober-faced and

unusual vividnees- Sympathy stole into
her heart- ‘
“Poor George!” she said. as the
feeling increased: “I‘m “raid 80m-

lay upon her heart-a sense of impend-

of her usual inward selfosatisfaction. s.
I‘the thought of Mrs. Whitman re-
curred. as was natural. to the elegant
silk dress of which she was tobecome
the owner on that day. 'she did not feel
the proud satisfaction her. vain heart
experienced a little while before. Some-
thing of its beauty had faded. .

tained i" she said. half an hour If“! it

sue *went to the mantelpieoe. took up
the letter. and examined the superscrip—
tion. It did not enlighten her. Stoadily
she became more assured that its con-
tents were of anature to trouble her
husband. '
"He's been alittle mysterious of late,”
she saidtoherself. The idea afl‘ecfed
her very unpleasantly. "He grows

. “'3 th'pfigh, undone kind of feverish
excitement. became active in a new
direction. 3M0}? memiéfirs- 3‘ u
were, and less interested Til What; goes
on around him. His coldness chills me
at times, and his irritation pains me."
She drew a long. deep sigh. Then.
with an almost startling vividnsss, came
before her mind in contrast, her tender,
loving, cheerful husband of three years»
before, and her quiet. silent, sober-faced
husband of to-day.
“ Something has gone wrong with him
this year!" she said aloud, as feeling
grow stronger. “What can it be i" The
letter was still in her hand. “ This may
enlighten me." ‘
With careful fingers she opened the
envelope. not breaking the paper, so
that she could seal it again if she desired
to do so. There wasa bill for fifteen
pounds. and a communication from the
person sending the bill. He was a
jewaler.
“If this is not settled at once,"lle
wrote, “I shall take proceedings. It
has been standing for nearly a year, and
I am tired of getting excuses instead of
my money."
The bill was for a lady's watch. which
Mrs. Whitman had almost compeiled
her husband to purchase. '
' “Not paid for 1 Is it possible?"
exclaimed the little woman. in great
astonishment, while the blood mounted
to her forehead.
Then she sat down to think. Light
began to come into her mind. As she
sat thus thinking, a second letter, for
her husband came iu., She opened it
without hesitation. Another bill! and
another duuning letter! _
“Not paid! Is it possible i" she
repeated.
It was a bill of four pounds for boots
and slippers. which had been standing
for three or four months.
“This will never do!" said the aston-
ished wife—“never—no. never!" She
thrust the two letters into her pocket
in a resolute way, and from that hour
until the return of her husband she did
an unusual amount of thinking for her
little brain. She saw. the moment he
entered. that the morning cloud had not
passed from his brow.
“Here is the money for that new
dress," he said, taking it from his vest
pocket and handing it to her as he came
in.
He did not kiss her. nor smile in the
old. bright way. But his voice was
mlm. if not cheerful. Akissanda
smile just then would have been more
precious to the young wife than a bun-
dred silk dresses. She took the money,
saying. “Thank you. dear! Itis kind
of you to comply with my wishes. "
Something in her voice and manor
caused Mr. Whitman to lift his eyes to
her faoewith a look of inquiry. But she
turned aside. so that he could not read
its expression. _
He was graver and more silent than
usual. and ate with scarcely unappea-
ance of appetite. '
"Come home early. dear," said Mrs;
Whitman. as she walked to the door
» with her husband.
“Are you impatient to have me
admire your new silk dress i" he asked.
with a faint efl‘ort to smile. ’
“Yes. Itwillbesomething splendid."
she replied.
He turned ofl' from her quickly, and
left the house. A few moments she
stood, with a thoughtful countenance,
and her whole manner completely
changed. Then she went to her room,
and commenced dressing to go out.
Two hours later, and we find her in the
ieweler's shop.
"May I speak a word to you?" she
mid. addressing the owner. who knew
her very well.
"Certainly." he replied. and they
moved to the lower end of one of the
long glass cases.

"I cannot afford toweerfithie watch:
my husband's circumstances are too
limited. I tell you so frankly. It
should never have been purchased; but
a too indulgent husband yielded to the
importunities of a foolish young wife.
I say this to take the blame from him.
Now. sir, meet the case, if you can L' )
coin fairness to yourself. Take back
the watch, and say how much I shall
pay you beside."
The jeweler paused elittle to think.
‘ The case took him a little by surprise.
He stood for nearly a minute; then tak-
ing the bill and watch. he said. “Wait

“ Will that do 7"
He had come forward again, and now
presented her with the receipted bill.
His face wore a pleased expression.

asked Mrs. Whitman. taking out her
pocket-book.
“Nothing," he replied.

"You have done a kind act, sir."
said Mrs. Whitman, with u tremulous
voice. "I hope you will not think un-
favorably of my husband. It's no fault
of his that the bill has not been paid.
Good-morning. sir.”
Mrs. Whitman drew her veil over
her face, and went with light steps and
a light heart from the shop. The
pleasure she had experienced on receiv-
ing her watchwss not to be compared
with that she now felt in parting with
it. From the jeweler's she went to the
bootmaker's and paid his bill; from
thence to her milliner's. and set ed for
herlast bonnet. "
“ I know you're dying to see my new
dress." said Mrs. Whitman, gayly, as
she drew her armwithin that of her
husband on his appearance that even-
ing. “Come up stairs and let me show
it. Gems along! Don't hang back,
George, as if you were afraid."
George Whitman went with his wife
passively. looking more like a man on
his way to receive a dreadful sentence
than in expectation of a pleasant sight.
His thoughts were bitter. -
“Shall my wife become lostto me,"
he said in his heart—“lost to me in a
world of folly, fashion and extrava-

Too often the gay young wife wears
them as the sign of these unhappy con~

homes are precious things; too precious
to be burdened and clouded by weak
vanity and love of show. Keep this in
mind. oh, yo fair ones who have hus-
bands in moderate circumstances. Do
not let your pride and pleasure oppress
them. Rich clothing. costly laces, and

SANDAL WOOD OF JAPAN.
Passing by a shop you see cords of
wood cut into small blocks about six
inches long. This, you learn. is noth-
ing short of shoe timber. These cords
of wood will speedily be converted into
shoes of various sizes, at prices ranging
all. the way from four to twenty
cents. One feels quite exaltered in a
pair of twenty-cent shoes. The wood is
called kiri, and is very light. The clogs
are still further lightenedby bellowing
out the. centre. So, in faint of fact.
there is little, truth in (filling the shoes
heavy. although they appear so to the
inexperienced observer. It must be
admitted, though, that they are un-
reasonably clumsy. Sometimes the
shoes worn by the ladies are lacquered,
and are fastened by a velvet band pass-
ing from either side over the lower
part of the instep, and between the
first and second toes. With this same
kind of wood is made bureaus'provided

A LUCK! ACCIDENT.
A Secret Service detective tells the
following story: It was one thing to
catch a counterfeiter and another to get
hold of his plates. To arrest and im-
prisona shover of the queer was getting
rid of a dangerous man, to be sure, but
yet the gang could replace him within
twenty-four hours.
The engravers were the real criminals.
It was better tocapture one of themthan
to run in shall-dozen of the fellows who
simply put the stud into circulation.
In 1804 there appeared a counterfeit
$10 Treasury note so well executed as
to deceive several bank cashiers in St.
Louis. The notes, according to the in-
formation we got. were printed in that
city. and I was one of the three detect-
ives detailed to proceed to that city and
leave no stone unturned to bring
the offendersto justice. We had pointers
from two or three chaps who had been
run down and placed behind the bars,
and while we did not succeed in laying
hands on the men we wanted, the trail
got so hot that we decided to leave St.
Louis for Chicago.
I was at the depot one morning on a
little errand of my own, when a finely-
dressed woman about thirty years old
drove up alone in a hack. Istood at
her elbow when she purchased a ticket
for Chicago. but it was more from acci-
dent than design. She carrieda reticule
in her hand, and so far as anyone could
judge she was calm and collected. and
knew just what to do without askinga
question. She was leaving the ticket-
window when a. man who was carrying
a caneunder his arm whirled around and
the point of the stick struck her in the ,
eye. She screamed out with pain, and .
after a'lnoment fainted away. Two or '
threeof us carried her into the ladiés'
sittiugéroOm, and it happened that I
picked up the reticule, which had fallen ‘
from her hand as she went down. Its
weight aroused my suspicious, and while
the others were surrounding this lady
I got a peep into the bag. whichwas
not locked. It contained the two plates
on which that dangerous counterfeit
was printed.
A stranger, who seemed to be greatly
excited over the accident, and who ad-
vised the lady in a whisper to gel aboard
the train as” quickly as possible, was
taken into custody, and turned out to
be her husband. He was the engraver
of the plates, and she was the one who
was to get themtoChicago. They were
taken to police headquarters in a hack,
and within two hours three other arrests
had been made and the gang broken up.

PRAYING *m "A ‘noamcsnu. '
Avery amusing story istold in con-
nection with the recent hurricane in the
west. A gentleman quite well known
inKansasCity was hurrying along to,
reach his home, when the atom burst
upon the city in all its fury. He sought
refuge in a house where there werea
number of ladies congregated, all of
whom were frantic with terror. After
a little the storm increased in fury. the
house rocked and swayed before the
furious winds. several windows were
blown in,_and it looked as though the
whole building would be destroyed.
The women rushed around wringing
their hands. crying and bemoaning
their fate, when suddenly one rushed
up to the gentleman and frantically
besought him to offer up a prayer. In
amoment he was surrounded by the
other women, who clung to him and
begged him to pray. .He was not by
any means collected himself, and
besides was not up at all in prayers.
but there was no escape for him. so be
He knelt down, but owing to the ex-
cited conditionof his mind and to the
fact that he had not prayed for a long
time, he found himself utterly unequal
tothe occasion. He couldn't think of
anything. He was dumb. ‘Soon he
became desperate, and withoutathought
as to its appropriateness he pronounced
the following brief excrtation. which he
remembered to have formed a part of
the grace his father used to say many
years ago: ."Oh Lord, make us thank-
ful for that which we are about to re-
ceive." Just then three or four windows
blow in, a' couple of chimneys blew over
and the prayer meeting broke up in
confusion. .

BATIIING IN I‘Alvlovs WATERS.
The Jordan is about the color of a new
slate—a slate with the greenish-grey cloud
still covering its surface. Its waters are
opaque, thickened with clay, but doli-
cious in temperature, and very refreshing
to a pilgrim’s palate. Is it a wonder that
the river rushes like a mill race? From
its source to its month, 136 miles in a bee
line, it descends 3,000 feet. Its very
name “Yarden,” in Hebrew signifies de-
scent. It twists and turns until it has
trebled the natural course from fountain to
sea. It rises in its might and covers the
plains, and drives back the flocks and herds
that feed along its banks. You cannot
bridge it; often you cannot ford it.
We got out of our clothes, and with the
fresh air of the morning blowing upon us
we passed into the cleansing flood. There
was life-in every drop of it. There can be
no doubt about it; as a tonic the Jordanis
unrivalled. While we waded cautiously
near the shore, sitting down in the clay
bottom to get as much of the water, with
as little of the current as possible. we were
startled by a crashing of nnderbrnsh and a
thunder of feet. Out of the bush emerged
the Russian pilgrims in the wildest excite-
ment. Each strove to be the first to plunge
into the stream. Many of them were al-
ready half-naked, and they speedily stripu
ped,pnt on a lon'g.whit'c garment—a kind of
shroud in which it is their wish' to be bur-
ied—and having immersed themselves in
the Jordan, they took off the shroud,
rolled it carefully up, and having placed
it in their luggage, returned quite naked
to pass a half hour in the river.
CE for the Dead Sea! A rapid run in
the fresh morning air, over the parched
plains. Much of the way we followed the
- Jordan bank and were sheltered somewhat
by the foliage that frin'cs it. All this
the stream with a hop, skip, and ajump,
we caught only occasional glimpses of the
river as it rushed like a mill race between
its steep clay walls, buried out of sight in
luxurious groves of willow. Until we
were actually upon the shore of the sea,
ploughing through pebbles and soft send,
we strained our eyes in vain toward the
valley of death, eager to catch a glimpse
of its bitter waters.
Our trail wound through adense growth
of cans, oleanders, cactus, end tamarisk.
We trotted over the baked soil in Indian
file, thinking of the wild boars, wolves,
jackais, and leopards that prowl in the
vale of Gilgal-«the vale that was of old
compared to the “Garden of the Lord.”
We saw nothing,not even a vulture ,though
no panorama of the Dead Sea is complete
without a shadow of his wings darkening
the canvas.
Out of the splendid distance, over the
Salt Sea, the Sea of Asphalt, the Lake of
Lot—call it by what name you will, for it
hours all these—over the Eastern Sea of the
old prophets, stole the withering breath of
a furnace. Our horses sweltcred in the
heat. There was no possible shelter near
the shore, for our camp trappings had al-
ready gone up into the wilderness. A dip
into the gummy ‘d elastic water was all
we asked now, and in ten minutes we
stood upon the sand half-blinded with the
heat and glare that nearly overcame us be-
fore wo were safely out of. it.
The sea near the plain of the Jordan is
shallow. looking toward the south, the
eye is lost in the profound mists that en-
velop it. Six and forty miles of sky blue
crystal, thirteen hundred feet in depth,the
topmost wave of which is thirteen hundred
feet below the level of the Mediterranean.
Neither fish, shells, nor coral are found
here. There are fish bones on the shore,
the wrecks of the Jordan. The bitter oil-—
it is hardly worthy the name of water—
strangles everything to death, and then
spits it out into the sun. Six million tons
of sweet water fall into the Dead Sea
daily; six million tons rise out of it, spirit-
ualised, and float over it.
When we passed into the water we felt
the weight of it before we had got knee
deep. Scan we grew buoyant, and kept
our balance with some difficulty; It was
like trying to swim on corks that won't
keep their places. A few steps further and
over we went, heels up. and, to our sur-
prise, heads up, likewise. The bath was
certainlymost refreshing, and the novelty
of it not unlike a good-natured practical
joke. When least suspicious, over we went
on all fours,bbbbing like bladders. and
finding it extremely dificult to make much
headway through the almost solid waters.
The Dead Sea does for a change of medi-
cine; it is as bitter as gall; but I would as
soon think of swimming in a strong solu-
lloli‘ of feather beds. .
When we had once more got into our
clothes and struck out for the wilderness,
our skin burnt like fire, and we shed flakes
of salt in such profusion you might have
easily mistaken as for members of the In.
family.-—Cor. San Francisco Chronicle,
.Ixmax CATTLE DANCE.
A reporter of an Omaha paper. who
not long since visited the Pine Ridge
Indian Agency, thus speaks of the per-
formances cf the Indians when they
receive their rations of cattle. A regu-
larlist of names of those entitled to
draw beef rations is kept. although
these names are such that decency
compels the substitution of something
equivalent in meaning. Previous to
the issue, the cattle are kept twelve
hours without food or water. When
the list, and the brave appears on horse-
back fully armed. A steer is turned
loose and run out of the gate, and the
Indian at once gives chase, runs it as
far as he cheeses and kills it. Then
' the next is called until the list is ex-
hausted. After the animal is killed,
the squaws come up with sacks. and in
fifteen minutes every particle is picked
up and toted ofl'. even to the entrails
and horns. .
It took place within an enclosure
where a fire was built. and the core-
monies opened with the monotonous
music of a gong whose rather doubtful
melody was supplenuinted by a gutteral
:hant. until the savage nature was
worked up to the requisite pitch of
enthusiasm. The “buck" dance is a

Can any fate, asks the London Echo. be
more melancholy than that which has be-
clouded forever the life of one of her
msjwty's cousins? Some twenty years
ago society in London was charmed for a
short time by‘the presence of one of the
loveliest creatures that ever breathed.
The only daughter of e_ wise and honored
king, she had accompanied 'her father to
see that Incomparableasscmblage of works
of art with which Manchester astonished
the world in 1857. A month or two later
the Princess Charlotte became the bride.
at the age of seventeen, of an accomplished
prince,brotherofen emperor, the Arch-
duke Ferdinand Meximilian of Austria,
and their prospect was that of amost kep-
py, honorable, autumnal life. Such it was
for soveu short years; when the tempter
came,lnthe person of fools Napoleon.
Then followed the anxieties of the mono
archy of Mexico, and the wretched death.
In' June, 1807, of Napoleon‘s dupe». It
is no news that the unhappy widowed
princes hesbeen insane ever since; but
now we learn that one of the most ex-
perienced physicians in such cases on the
Continent, pronounces the Empress Chan
lotto iilcureble. Her health is good. and.
her mind being in a state of perfect tren-
quility, she expects the early return of her
husband; it b said that her already great
beauty has increased. She lives in an
imaginary world,'talks with imaginary
visitors and friends, and finds solace in
this harmless delusion, while she ignores
the people around her as if they were not.
Sofaristhis latter notion carried, that
she disdalus the services of a maid, and,
performs for on toilet. To maintain. the
opinion that ebb is still carpi-es. upon
which her life seems to depend,oue
copy is printed for her of the AIM do
Gallic. that unquestionable witness of
high birth. in which the Court act Mexico
holds its place as in 1807. -
