The on Home. I
It stands upon the hillside, with the tail elm:
bending o‘er it,
The homestead with the lilacs by the door.
And the quaint, old-fashioned «garden, gently
sloping down before it,
I see it just as in the days of yore.
I remember how the sunshine fell across the
golden meadows, '
Beyond the wooden doorstep. old and worn:
And how the summer cloudlots cast their quickly
fleeting shadows
0n distant fields or rustling, ripening corn.
:[n the pleasant. roomy kitchen I see my father
sitting,
With leather-covered Bible open wide;
While my sweet-faced mother listens, as she
lays away her knitting,
And rocks the old red cradle by her side.
'i‘hrce brown-eyed little children, with tangled
golden tresses,
When evening prayer in simple words is said,
Come clinging round her neck with loving. soit
caresses,
'l‘hcn merrily go tripping oil to bed.
0 happy years of childhood, with thoughts so
true and loving.
And sweet and gnilcless days so full of rest!
Our old henrtslove tolingcr, after all our years
of roving,
And clasp fond mcm’ry's pictures to our breast.
Shall we ever in that country, the bright and
glorious heaven,
Win back the simple innocence and bliss
We knew when. in our childhood.'in the dear
old home at even.
We received our angel mother's good-night
kiss?
.o-Ow—ev——'—
Before the Dawn.
I had been so long accustomed to
poverty that I had in apassive way
become attached to the barren mono-
tony which cnvironed me. '
I certainly had a real fondness for
my homely little wooden house and
atom of inclosurel—thc place was my
own, too—and had been acquired by'
unaided exertions, by sacrifices, econo-
mic privations, and by the inventions
conceived of néccsSity. The traces of
my conflict for existence and the im-
prints of my puny victories, were every-
where—on the carpet I had sewed with
aching lingers; on the low walls I had
painted with my own weary hands; on
the barrels and boxes I had sawed and
cushioned and dropped into easy chairs
and ottomans and a nondescript some-
thing which served me as a dressing
bureau; on the bit of garden I had my-
self spaded and planted; on the fantas-
tic fence where I had nail-3d every avail-
able fragment remaining aft’er my
interior carpentry, and where I had
trained many a strange, wild vine and
shrub delved from the woody hollows
just beyond my own suburban locality.
Everything had been created by my
own thought or toil, was permeated
with my own individuality, and so per-
haps was endeared to me by prestige of
egotistic suggestion!
I 'had, too, a magnificent view of
wood and hill and water—a poetic and
picturesque view, which was as much
my possession as the air I breathed,
although what I viewed was vested in
the titles of mortals whom Heaven and
the world had favored more than me.
“ And yet I do not know as I should
be quite willing to exchange places with.
any of them,” I had sometimes averted
to myself as I had gazed from my one
humble sitting-room window, festooned
with gold and ruby roses and ivy of a
perpetual emerald green. "
The pretty lake yonder, with its banks
of sloping lawn, its fanciful boat-house
and gayly painted boats, belonged to
the Hon. Pumpernickel, who was
alllicted with the gout and an unman-
ageable son! And I was certain I did
not envy him for his lot in his gorgeous
villa, where he resided wifeless, and
alone only for the bacchanalian assem-
blies his wayward heir brought there
occasionally. , ,
The hljoui'palace' .beyo'nd‘was 'the
home of Mrs.Clarence St. Clare—T—a soci-
ety belle who had made a religiously
society marriage. .' She had carriages
and fine raiment and servants to attond
her; but "I”should not have“ cared to
exchange my identity with hers. I at
least had health and independence, and
I wore no gelling yoke of a loveless
wedlock!
The substantial yellowish stone mane
sion yet more remote, was the dwelling
of Miss Isabella Wolroth—a wealthy
spinster of elegant mien and exclusive
tastes; I coveted none of her preroga-
tives, but yet whenever I chanced to
contemplate the serene elegance of her
unobtrusively luxurious abode, I always
rather more acutely realized how irre-
mediably I'- had been -' snubbed? and
slighted by fortune- .
“With her influence and resou‘rces,’I
should sometimes try tok'enliven the
lonely and‘cn'courage the? struggling ;‘ I'
should net limit my beneficence to them~
who .are already abundantly blessed,"
I mentally‘complainédi One afternoon
as I gazed wistfully toward the quaintly
peaked yellow tower just perceptible
through a dismal mist and the tossing
greenery of a noble oak grove.
Never before hadIfelt so desolate
of heart, so neglected and isolated, as
upon that especial day. Perhaps the
weather had depressed me—fora slug-
gish drizzle had chilled the Summer
air, drenched my blooming bit of gar-
den, and quite distorted my gratifying
view—or perhaps after all, some uncon-
fcssed jealous pain had for once dis:
turbcd my: passive composure of spirit!
“ Are you not. going, Aunt Marianna ‘?
Did not MissJVoh-oth invite youfjover,
too ?” queried my stately young niece,
:oming from the one tolerable pretty
room which I had reserved for an
occasional guest, and looking quite
astonished as she perceivedI was not
. lunkrtl and bonneted. _ _.
“ Certainly not, Llhas,” said I, trying
to speak cheerfully although there was
a big lump, each second becoming big-
ger, in my throat, “I have no acquain-
tance whatever with Miss Walroth;
she was not bound to extend her invi-
tation to me, just because you happen
to be stopping with me, dear. ’ , . . .
Lilias was the daughter ‘- of my only
brother. She: was something ~- of Ten
heiress, however-,having inherited quite
a snug foftune from"? her mother, who
had belonged to an aristocratic family,
and who chanced to have been alsoa
school intimate of MissWolroth. She
had only infrequently visited me;
indeed she had never done so before
since the VVolroths had become the
occupants of the yellow stone house
among the oaks.
“I think she was uncivil in not ask-
ing you; she might have remembered
that you are my aunt, I should thmk,"
Lilias said, in a doubtful and displeased
voice, as she fastened the clasps of her
silvery gray gossamer. “ But, perhaps
she did include you; perhaps Cyril for-
get her exact message, or perhaps he
took it for granted you were to come
with me. You seem somehow to have
become acquainted with him, ’Auni
Mariannal”
“ Mr. Wolroth condesceudcd to admire
my garden,” I explained'in u‘voice so
bitter I could not blame the girl for
staring as she did. “He came here
once or twice for seeds and cuttings of
the old-fashioned herbs and flowers he
could not obtain elsewhere. He has
been here time several times for in-
struction regarding thelproper cultiva-
tion of some rose slips I gave him.”
2“
shall’like his elegant sister half as m -'.i,"
said Lilias, deftly making an invisible
knot in the ends of the rosy gauze which
..ilvery gray turban and over her fair l
face.
Lilias was very handsome; she was
tall and straight and slim; her profile
was singularly pure and refined; he] .
dark eyes were calm and serious; her !
skin as smooth as satin and white as
milk; and she had an indescribably
impressive look of being set apart from
human emotions and mundane impcr
factions.
“She is delighted with Cyril Wolroth.
and he is pleased with her. It is easy
to predict how the mutual attraction
will terminate. With her youth, hcl
fortune, and such a lover, she is to be
envied,” I meditated as I watched her—
so dainty and stately and 'gladsome—
tripping away beneath her silken blur
umbrella.
Never before had I felt really discon-
tented with my lot; never before had i
so poignantly reflected how desolate
and meagre and lowly my existence
was! All at once I seemed to feel my-
self aged and plain and unlovable!
“And yet if I could wear rich laces
and delicate silks and pretty jcwcls,l
should be passably attractive, perhaps,"
I said to myself as I went into my one-
gucst chamber, where Lilias had left
her dainty costumes and girlish orna-
ments scattered about in charming dis-
order. “ The novelty of having nothing
to do but to amuse myself would make
one young again, and such a dress as
this, I am sure, would make even ugli-
ness enchanting.”
The particular dress was for evening
wear. It was of some silky fabric in
changing tints of pink and lazuli blue,
with a cloudy drapery oftulle’looped
here and there with clusters of velvet
peach blossoms.
' ‘he dress fascinated me. I fancied 1'
should like to behold myself arrayed in
the exquisite garment with those lovely
pink pearls gleaming 011 my neck and
wrists. j
For once my interminable stitching
was ignored! the housekeeper over at
l’umpcrnickel villa might wait for the
hemming of her table linen; and if the
handkerchief monograms were not em:
broidered, the mistress of the St. Clare
palace might grumble if she liked! for
once I proposed to enjoy a moment of
leisure, to have a little masquerade with
myself for spectator!
And so I dotted my worn serge gown
and cloth slippers, and donned the even-
ing costume, the peach blossoms and
pink pearls, and, even the dainty kid
boots.
As I turned to the long, narrow,
swing-mirror of my sitting-room, I
started involuntarily. Was it really
myself—Marianna Carew—who a mo-
ment before had envied fair Lilias her
youth, her dainty bloom, her stately
loveliness? . '
“ We are surprisingly alike ;' and after
all, I am but a very few years older than
she," was my mental comment made
with a keen thrill of satisfaction, end-
ing the next instant in a yet keener
pang that for me, even, the gift of
beauty was for naught!
> Beauty, in pomp and beauty in rags
are two'- very different things‘the
world bows in homage before the one ;
the other is seemed, or piticd, or un-
heeded! Could the simple knowledge
that I, too, was fair satisfy me when
all my soul was thirsting and hunger-
ing but for a drop and morsel of the
good lavished on Lilias, and of which I
was denied?
I turned from the mirror with a sigh
and with a movement so abruptthat
somethingea small box of ‘ parlor
matches—:was-dislodged and fell to the
floor. _ ,_ . "

' somebody had:;1)nsbod back the Open

‘Asii looked up Icould feel the be;
blood crimsoning my checks, for there
stood Cyril Wolroth, smiling—amused-

rowed plumage.
With some mortified and inarticulate
exclamation I' stepped hastily back.

down upon the fallen box of treacher-

magazine of torpedoes had exploded
beneath my feet, and the next instant

Itlall happened so suddenly that I
scarcely realized .my danger. I only
knew? that Cyril'was springing toward
me ; that his face had become as pale
as marble, that the smile had vanished
beneath his golden mustache, and that
his blue eyes had darkened with an
awful fear. And then I was enveloped,
smothered, gasping, within a blanket
he had snatched from the bed of the
inner room, and so I knew no more.
When I regained my senses I was
on a mass of rugs and cushions among
the dripping flowers of my little gar-
den. I was faint and weak, but I felt
myself almost unscorched and quite
unhurt. Shawls and blankets sheltered
.me from the thick drizzle, and Cyril was
bending anxiouslyover me. 'I Was con-
scious of curiously crackling noises in
the air; and a. strange red glare about.

“What is it?”I said, struggling to
uplift my throbbing head.
But the question was superfluous. I
instantly understood what was happen-
ing. My little house, stored with the
meagre fruits of my years of toil and
sacrifice, was burning—crumbling into
ashes before my sight.
Cyril put his am about me. His
blue eyes were tender, his face was
grave.
“I did what I could,” he said gently.

“ Let my love comfort you,Marlanna.

him. “Let me build a bonnierhouse—
a’home of whichiyou shall be mistress—
a wife ever loved.”
And soil; was not Lillas: it was I,
lowly I, who was to be blessed with the
love of Cyril Wolroth.

tude and infinite ,contentrl was only
capable of some sobbing incoherency;
but he understood, and his grave face
brightened as he bent his head and

“I *‘ha’di’expected you" with "Lilies.

really providential,” Miss Isabella said,
with sympathy and sincere kindliness.

Lilias would never know how bitter-
ly I had envied her in that one dark
lionr just “ before the dawn.”

voking egotism, “to have envied any-

“Fitz John I’orior‘s Balloon Ride,”
'said an old army ollicer, “was one of
the most romantic events in the life of
that gallant soldier. lie was with
McClellan in the Peninsular campaign,
and was distinguished for his intelligent
activity. Porter conceived the idea
that balloons Could be made very useful
in reconnoitcring, and at his request
Gen. McClellan obtained the necessary
equipment for this service. The
balloons and the apparatus for the
manufacture of the gas were procured
without much dillicnlty,bnt an acronaut
was not so easy to obtain. Some of the
officers of the Engineer Corps agreed to
make the first trip in the balloon which
was to afford a view of the Confederate
operations. Porter watched their pre-
parations with keen interest. Just as
they had everything ready he stepped
into the basket of the clums? gas bag
to see that everything had been properly
prepared. While he was examining the
machine it slipped from the grip of the
men who held it and shot like an arrow
up into the air, carrying Porter as its
lone passenger. He had never been in
a balloon before, and knew nothing
about managing one.
“ A stiff breeze was blowing, and the
great bulb flow like a bird away from
the astonished camp, until it became a
mere speck in the sky and then faded
completely from sight. N ot a man who
watched it, disappear expected that he
would ever see Porter alive again. He
started on his wild flight at 7 o'clock in
the morning. The day were away with
the camp in a great state of commotion
over the probable death of its favorite
ollicer. When night came and nothing
had been seen of the balloon, it was the
general conviction that POI-tor had
either been killed by a fall from the
balloon, or had been captured by the
Confederates. About daybreak next
morning a picket challenged a man
coming toward the Federal line, and a
moment later recognized Gen. Porter.
Ills balloon had carried him clean over
the Confederate army. He was fired at
a dozen times by the Confederate artil-
lery. At night the wind changed and
brought him back, and when he saw
that he was over his own army he let
out the gun gradually and safely
descended, after being twenty-four
hours in the air with the vision ofa
horrible death before him. After this

Facts About.th.;s.t:3ohn River.
Tradition has it that \the deep and
narrow chasm through which the
waters of the St. John (north) find their
way to the sea was formed by- some
mighty convulsion of nature many
centuries ago, and there is sufficient
confirmatory evidence that the state-
ment rests upon more than mere tradi-
tion. The level of the waters of the
St. John is fifty feet above that of the
bay, yet so mighty are the tides of the
latter that steamers and sailing vessels
of six,hundrcd tons burden are borne
from the One to the other‘at their in-
comingf and outgoing. The rapids or
falls‘ are principally just above the
chasm referred --to, over“ which,“ many
years ago, an airy suspension bridge was
thrown for carriage and foot travel,
and recently the cantilever which con-
nects the railway systems of the Strait
of Canso with those of the Pacific
coast. Directly above its month, which
is spanned by the suspension and can-
tilever bridges, the river expands into a
basin of such extent that it affords
room for the storage of vast rafts of
timber, which are towed down by small
steamers from its upper waters and its
tributaries, as well as anchorage for a
great number of steam and sailing ves-
sels. In the same basin lie three small
islands, two Of which have precipitous-
sides. and are very picturesque.

. Mind Your Own Business.
Nine-tenths of all that goes wrung in
this-world its-because sOme one does'inot; L
mind his business. When a terrible
accident occurs, the first cry is that the
means of prevention were not sufficient.
Everybody declares we must have a new
patent fire escape, an automatic engine
switch, or a high proof non-combustible
sort of lamp oil. But a little investiga-
tion will usually show that all the con
trivances were on hand, and in good
order; the real trouble was somebody
didn't mind his business.
The engineer of the mill, at Roches-
ter, N. Y., thought the engine would
stand a higher pressure than the safety
valvé indicated, so he tied a few bricks
to the valve to hold it down; result:
four- werkingmen killed, a number
wounded, and the mill blown to pieces.
The best ventilated mine in Califor-
nia was turned into a death-trap for
half a hundred miners, because one of
the number entered with alighted lamp
the gallery he had been warned against.
Nobody survives ‘ to explain the
explosion of the dynamite cartridge
factory in Pennsylvania, but as~ that
type of disaster is almost always due to
hcedlessness, it is probable that this
instance is not an exception to the
rule. ,

the hurried notes one receives nowadays
in lieu of the long, friendly letter of
olden times. The art of correspond-
ence, which used to be one of ithe

THE ROYAL PALACE 01" RIADIIID.
The royal palace of Madrid is one of
the most colossal and one of the most
magnificent royal residences in the world.
The site which it occupies is said to be
that of the original outpost Alcnzar of
the Moors. where Enrique IV. resided.
On the destruction of this by fire on
Christmas eve, 1734, Philip V. set on
foot the construction of a residence which
' he intended to make into a rival of Ver-
sailles. The first design, by Felipe do
Jubarn, n ,Siciliau, was even of more
ambitious dimensions than that actually
carried out afterward by another archi-
tect, Giovanni Succhetti, of Turin. This
plan, though smaller and less costly than
the original one, embraced the formation
of a block of buildings 470 feet square
and 100 feet in height, though the wings
of the stupendous edifice have never been
completed. 80 vast. indeed. are its di-

Why Cowboys Hate Mormons.
The Climate of Montana is not par-
ticularly healthy for Mormon-’3, princi-
pally because the soil contains so many
wide-awake bachelor cowboys who are
badly in need of wives themselves. The
royal cow-punchcrs of Montana hate a
Mormon male as they do asnake. Being
unable to get a single helpmeet them-
selves, although able to support a dozen
where a Mormon cannot support one,
it riles them to have some long-haired,
rascally elder come along with four,
five, and possibly six wives, and settle
down with the utmost gal! and check
on a Government claim. There are
about twenty-five thousand more
bachelors in Montana than there are
women altogether. Nearly {all of these
twenty-live thousand have. splendid
ranches, and need only a wife to com-
plete their happiness. The little town
of Maiden contains not a singlc'unmar-
ricd lady. The small village only ten
miles west (if-Maiden is'simply" a: com-
munity of bachelors. These thousands

Everyone Knows the Child.
Says Eli Perkins in the Washington
Post: On the New Yerk Central train
bound for the “States," at Saratoga,
was a beautiful but carcworn woman
with a spoiled child. The lovely mother
had spoiled the child herself. It caused
the misery of the nurse, the careworn
look of its mother and the profanity of
the passengers. It was“ truly an entant
terrible. After using up the nurse, the
fashionable but careworn mother put
down her Skye-terrier and took the
child in her lap. Then the following
dialogue ensued:
" Ma, put up ’is window l”
“ N o, dear; it's too cold."
“ Ma, I want ’is window up."
“N ow, lovey, ’00 don't want it up.”
“Yes, me doo too ! Put it up, Isa!"
“ N ow, mamma’s pretty little darling
don’t want to catch cold.”
“ Me don’t tare for told,me wn t‘is up !‘
Then‘the child Seemed to go all to
pieces, like a' biting parrot.
looked as if it were occupied by a. buzz-
aa'w or a. fanning-mill. A-is‘the noise
'- wore down a little, I hem! ythefmothcr
ieooing and saying. soothm’giy in she
raised the window: . _
“ There, m'am'ma's darling,itt;~ -.-. eety,
it sat have the window up-so it sal—
there-there—"
“Me don't want it up i” cried the
child, after it had taken in the situation.
"Me want it down i"
“ N o, sweety, mamma’s pet said it
wanted it up, and—” . .
“ N 0, me wants it down. Me—”
“0, you sweet sugar sou ,” said the
her‘breast, while the tears rolled down
' lief cheeks.
“ N 0, me ain't !"
“ Yes, precious one.” ' -
“N aw i” and then the boy-objector,
the infant Holman, resolved itself into
a buzz-saw and wind-mill again, while
it stamped its feet till clouds of dust
rolled out of: the cushions.”
"‘ N ow, darling, don’t do so.”
“ Es me will !”
Then all the passengers could hear
was the mother saying :
f‘ N ow mammals sweet pet shouldn’t
do :0; Dear little dumpling, just wait
till it gets to Saratoga and it shall have
all. the window’s down in the hotel."
The baby didn't finally stop at the
f‘ States,” but became the general mana-
ger of a cottage a mile from Sara'toga.
A Judge Who Loved "A Joke.
The following reminiscence is told of
Parsons of .. Boston. When Judge Par-
sons was on the bench, a case was called
before the noon recess, {and the court
adjourned till 2 p. m. ' At the appointed
hour the court came in, and the fore-
man of the, jury informed“ His Honor"
{that only eleven :jurors were present.
”Parsons was the most punctual of men
himself, fhadr little charity for delin-
quents, and he lidgeted around, dipping
his pen into the inkstand and catching
flies. About fifteen minutes past 2 the
tardy. twelfth man arrived. Parsons,
who was a firm but mild-mannered man,
told the juror to stand up. “ What
excuse have you to offer, sir, for being
late—for keeping the court, clerk and
attorneys waiting ‘1’” “‘ ‘-
. “ 1 ay it please your Honor,” said the
delinquent, “I went home, ate my din-
ner, and then sat down in the rocking
chair and fell asleep. I did not awake
until fifteen minutes ago, and I ran all
thew’ay to the court house. I am very.
sorry, sir, I assure you." ,
' “ Sir,” said Judge Parsons, “ I cannot
accept your excuse. I shall line you ten
dollars.” “I did not dream of that,"
said the juror, with an expression of
loss in‘his countenance. “ Mr. Clerk,”
said the judge,“ you will remit the fine,”
and then. with a merry twinkle ‘in'hls
eye, he ordered counsel to proceed with
the case. Parsons dearly loved a joke.

There are all kinds of women in the
Northwest. From the cultured demos
of oursbesticitiés' tbe'grade runs all the
way dewn "to the female road agent.
But, as afrule, the girls of Montana
are made of. the very best material to
be had on"the continent,-says the San
Francisco Chronicle. Scattered all over
the broad prairies of Montana are re:
fined and culturedwomen, bred in amu-
’ once and ease, proud-young and hopeful,
culled by’tho’misfortunes of their hus-
binds or l'é‘d .by‘}.their,_ desires to enter
and'a‘chieve-innew fields the mission of
life} to surrender toelety, the home and
fglends'aud‘socnes of atheir youth and
nigrch‘liomlyto‘a far-Off wilderness and
endure privatiom - toll, labor and suf-
fering. . . " '
But these women have grown brave;
industrious, self-reliant; full of pluck
and energy, and perfect horsewomcn,
healthy, hearty, active and independent,
and in many cases about as pretty and
as plump as the very best of climates
can make them. Now, the typical Mon-
tana girl, if left alone, will succeed
where an ordinary man would fail.
With-no vices, thcystick clOsely to bust:
ness,and if bentontree claiming, home'-
steading, or pro-erupting a quarter, half,
or whole section of land, they generally
stay by the claim to the end and prove
up on time. .
Mahyof these enterprising damscls ‘
wouldn’t have a husband at any price.
Again, many after laying the founda-
tion of a comfortable fortune-are taken
in by some lazy bachelor who comes
looting salons, sees"the chance,- marries
the maiden, and settles down into a. nice
ready-made home. These girls embrm
winners, and no mistake. They are up
to all kinds of. schemes, such. asranch-
lug, herding of sheep or cattle, school
superintendents, and even politics.
