I hear them tell of far-oil cllmes,
And treasures grand they hold—
Ot mlustcr walla. where stained light falls
0n canvas. rare and old. .
My hands fall down, my breath comes us
But ah. how can I roam?
My task I know. to spin and sew,
And light the fire of home.
Sometimes I hear of noble deeds.
Of words that move mankind;
or willing hallds that to other lands
Bring light to the poor and blind;
I dare not preach, I cannot write,
' I fear to cross the foam;
Who, if I go, will spin and sew,
And light the fire of home?
My husband comes as the shadows fall
From the fields with my girl and boy
His loving kiss brings with it bliss
That hath no base alloy.
From the new-plowed meadow, fresh and brown.
‘ I catch the scent of the loam:
“ Heart do not fret. 'tls something yet
To light the fire of home."

The Bath of Old Crum.
“ Yes, we made up our minds to shoot
’im,’ said Capt. Sterne. “ Ye see ’e’s hen
the cuss o’ the range fur sebeu year, an’
all the cow whips south cf the Sante
Fe River don’t jostle ’im. So we jest
decided to make up . a crowd an’ go
down in Bayroot an’ shoot ole Crum in
’is tracks. Git your boss ready, an’ put
’lebcn blue whis’lers in each bar'l 0‘
your gun, fur ole Crum’s a tough ’un.”
Eager for the sport I was not long in
getting ready, and in the yellow light
of'a languid September morn we rode
out into the pine barrens.
“What about ole Crum ?" I asked.
“Well, I’ll tell ye. Many years ago a
bunch 0' cattle what belonged to the
ole Crum stock tuck toBayroot Swamp
one dry summer, “an’ went as wild as
bucks. Cattle frequently goes wild in
this land 0’ swamps, maiden cane.
ponds, an? scrubs, an’ saw-grass. After"
along-time all 0’ the bunch wus gith-
ere'd an’ shipped off to Cuby' but one
old cow an’abrindled bull cyalf. We
never couldn't catch up with that ole
cow; I’ve seed ’er dash headlong into :1.
cypers swamp where it looked like it ’ud
bog a cat with a shingle tied to its foot,
au' bendin’ down the low saplins as
she went, she’d be lost in two miuils,
with that 'ere cursed bull yearlin’ at ’er
heels. .
“ That 'us ten years ago, an’ fur three
years that ole cow ha'nted Bayroot an‘
the Big Saw-Grass like something be-
witched. She wouldn’t hardly ever
stay ’long with other wild cattle, but of
she heerd the crack uv a cow whip she’d
make a break fur the swamp, an’ it ’us
good-night, Ephrum, when she started.
At last ther’ come a powful wet year,
an’ Bayroot Swamp an’ all the rest 0’
them woods ’us flooded. , Thinkin’ it a
good time to break up them wild cattle
we gathered a crowd, an’ after a week’s
raid we got 'em all hemmed in a big pen
an’ kep' ’em till they wus conquered.
That ole Crum c'owwus among 'em,
an’ when the waters fell so's we thought
we could manage ’em, we started the
drove to'rds Tampa. We got along
splendid ’fur awhile, but suddintly es .
we vials passin’ a deep swamp, that ole
' - cow dashed OR at agallop, follered by
three or four 0’ the boys, at the top
uv the’r speed. We popped our cow
whips, yelled an’ whooped, an’ spurred
our hosses, but the ole cow beat us to
the aidge o’ the swamp where ther’ wus
a deep lagoon 0’ water. The hull year-
lin', now a three-year-old, went neck
an’ neck with ’er, an’ into that black
water they both plunged.
“We wus so astonished at the fool
things, that we set on our bosses and
watched 'em as they fioundered, half
‘ wadin', half swimmin’, till they wus
nearly across, when the ole cow reared
up with a wild beller, an' then com-
menced strugglin’ in the Water. We,
knowed then that the ’gaters had’er I
.an' in afew minits she wus gone.
“The hull kep’ on, clambered out
’mong the bay-bushes and flags, an’ with
u snort he shuck the mud f'om "’is
brindled skin, an’ disappeared in the
swamp.
“We managed to git the others
straight, an’ kep’ on to Tampa. Every-
body thought the bull ’ud go up the
spout. Nobody didn’t have no notion
that he could miss starvin’, drowndin’,
or gitting ketched by the ’gaters, but ’e

‘ Jake Simpson had to run fur’s life to

across the ole devil on the perarrie,
where he was a browsin’ about, an’ ole

Jake ’us right up close to’im when he
diskivered the bull, an’ the bull diSkiv-.

ally sour that,day,,fur stidder him gal-
lopin' off as 'e g’uer’ly does, ’e rushed
at Jake, an’ afore Jake could crack 'is
-'whip, his boss were gittin’ over ground
like the wind, an’ ole Crum 'us close be-
hind. The race didn’t last long, fur
ole ,Crum suddintly concluded to give
it up, an' with a. wild yell he darted fur
lluyroot.
“ Mully's the capers I could tell you
'bout. Sometimes he gits sassy in the
spring, an’ won’t let the cows come
home of an evenin’, mindin’ ’em out
all night. He bosses the whole range,
an’ when some fine young bull comes
home with his hide all ripped open an‘
bloody, we know ole Crum’s been afoul
uv ’im."
Just as the Captain concluded his‘
yarn we heard a halloo away oi!
towards the right, accompanied by the
sharp crack of a whip,'which signals
were joined by Jake Simpson, Dolph
Carter, and four or five other cowboys,
all rigged out in camping style. The
big spur rowels jingled, and the brand~
.,,- irons clankcd, as the horses trotted
. along across the dreary harrcns.
Stretching away on a dead level,
" there was‘ nothing to relieve the dull
monotony of the scenery. The ground,
was covered with saw palmetto and
gallberry bushes, and the everlasting
colonnadcs of pine trees. Now and
then an open glade, covered with coarse
grass, broke in upon the continuity of
pine woods, and at rare intervals an
open pool of water. After a three
hours' ride the scene began to change.
We came to a vast shallow; pond filled
with green maiden cane, with clumps of
buttonwood bushes scatteredf through
it. Beyond and skirting the southern
horizon as far as the eye could reach
was the gloomy swamp {line of Bayroot.
The palmetto grew higher, and the
gray moss hung longer on the trees;-
and the whole scene was one mighty '
embodiment of uninhabitablejdesola-
- ti'o'n. Anxiety lightiféll upon theiwoods-
and abide haze hung above the lan-
guid waters, and the rough saw grass
untied in the slight‘breeze thatcame
up from the southwest, , ...
l.
started from her feeding ground by
the? noise, a frightened Indian hen
llilied from bush to bush, thrusting
her crested head back and forth, with
a “ cl uck, cluc ,” of astonished inquiry.
The snovvy wings of the white gannet
rose and fell asthe shy creature winged
its flight to a safer distance, and a t
blue heron eyed us dubiously its-he
stalked about among the rushes. The
day was pretty far advanced, and the
rays of the September sun began to tell
upon us, and Capt. Sterne proposed ‘a
halt and a council of war. . V _
”We‘re agettin’ close to where ole
{Hum rises now, an' I think we better
decide on some certain an' shore plan
uv operations. My Ides ls furgus to
ride ’bout a quarter uv a mile apart,
un’ let Jake Simpson keep. the dogs
close ‘long by the side of the swamps,
an‘ when any feller sees the bull let ’im
holler three times, an’ we’ll all ‘go for
’im at once. E! any teller kin‘git close
enough, let ’im bang away, an' kill the
beast, but I tell ye now hlt’ll take a
shore shot to fetch 'im down."
With this understanding we ”separ-
atcd, and it fell to my lot to be the out-
side, or furthest man from the swamp,
which threw me out among the pine
levels. I had ridden an hour, perhaps,
and was dreamily gazing across a
maiden-cane pond, watching a flock .of
summer ducks at feed among - the
water-lilies, when I was electrified by a
wild and discordant cry. “Whoop-
cluck-a-luckl” it came, followed bya
shrill and trumpet-like “Cluck-Huck!
ciuck-a-lucki” and turning quickly ‘I
beheld two magnificent " whooping
cranes stalking-along with heads erect,
on the edge of the pond. At the same
time I saw a burly head, with two long,
ivory white horns tipped with jet,
raised above the tall grass, and two
fierce eyes gazed steadily atvmevfrom a
hundred yards distance. With; a low
“mac-co,” the head disappeared, and I
could tell by the crackle of the grass
and the splash of the shallow water
that the animal was making for the
open woods :1 little beyond where I
stood.
“ Boo-oo-oo!” came a guttural bellow,
and at the same time his brindled
majesty stepped out on the dry‘land,
and with a whoop of proud defiance
old Crum, for it was no other, bounded
away towards the south, where a deep
bend in the swamp brought it nearer
to‘ me than the other hunters. I yelled
loudly three times, and put spurs to
my horse and joined chase.
The signal was caught up by the
nearest hunter and passed to the others,
and the pursuit became exciting. In a
few bounds my horse was doing his
best, and I could see thatI was gaining
on the bull, but I could not bring my
gun to bear on him, for on this rough
and uneven ground it took my best to
keep the saddle. We had covered
nearly half the distance, when suddenly
the bull. stopped and gazed for a mo-
ment straight ahead, then facing about
he came' charging down upon me. I
. reigned my horse up short, and when
he was within about thirty yards of
me I aimed direct at his shaggy head
and fired. Ere the smoke had clefirbd '
away, I was "being’bome along ht. a
fearful speed by my fleeing horse, the -'
wild roars of the old savage resounding
in my wake. I could hear the cheers
of the Other hunters as they rode to the
rescue, and the deep haying of the ’old
cow dogs, as Jake Simpson rode.wiih
them to cut off Old Crum's ' retreat,
when he should have grown tired of
Chasing me. _
1 had one barrel remaining but I had
not time to think of using it. Urging
zy horse to the utmost, I hoped togaiu
. le-vi-l sufficient to enable me to wheel
.cl'slloot the enemy in 'the flank, when
"“461”! my homemade a falsestcv.
blundered heavily, and losing my bal-
anc'eI was thrown a somersault into a
bunch of palmetto. The hull passed
by me and made a lunge at my horse,
but the latter had recovered sufficiently
to keep asafe distance between himself
and his maddened antagonist, and just
then the wild clamor of the dogs,- told
that they hadcome up. I jumped to
my feet, and from a high log that lay
near by I watched thcvclosc of the
fight. The cries of the dogs and the
bellowing of the old bull as he sto’od at
bay were fearful, now hanging at one,
now lowering his shaggy head and
chasing another, ‘while the yells of the
approaching hunters added to the
iiveliness of the-scene. , .,
“Don’t shoot .the dogs,” cried "Jake,
as Capt. Sterne levelled-his gun. IThat
caused me to remember my gun, and I
h... to where it fell, picked it up, and
started for my log, when it Bang! bang!"
Went both barrels Of the Captain's gun,
and the bull, sorely wounded, staggered
for a moment, and then came tearing
away towards the place where'I stood.
“Bang! hang! bangl”_went three Other
reports, but‘they failed techeck the
career of the bull, who came right on,
and- seeing that I must do something I
brought my gun to my shoulder, and
taking a careful aim, I waited until he
was within a dozen yards and fired.
A long agonizing roar, a plunge for-
ward and the old monarch of the range
lay dead before me, the bloodthirsty
dogs gnawing at his bleeding throat.
“Hooray! Bully for you,” shouted
Capt. Sterne, as he galloped up. I
thought shore he’d git you, an’ I tell
you I trimbled fur you when I saw 'im
a comin'.” The others gathered around,
and each one had some tale of ferocity
or cunning to relate regarding old
Crum’s past career, but I felt more as
if I had been guilty of murder than
ever before. With our ingenious
methods we had condemned and slaugh-
tered the brave old outlaw, whose prin-
cipal sin was love of freedom, which
caused him to despise the calm and in-
sipid lot of his more tractable com-
panions, victims of the whip-lash and
brand-iron. For years he had lorded
over every living thingthat came to
share the solitudecf his haunts, and a
pang of regret. embittered my tri-,
umphant feelings as I watched his
glazing eye as the‘little rill ofrich,
bushes.

What They Were.
A hostess" who cannot preserve her
serenityupon even the most crucial
=occasions is lacking in one of the most
essential qualities of an entertainer.
The thoughtless spilling of her best
wine, the soiling of her whitest table-
cloth, nay, even the smashing of a
whole trayful of her best old family
china, should not cause one muscle of
her countenance to change.
On the other hand, an affected ignor-
ance respecting the contents of the
day's ' bill of- fare is at times almost as
fatal as the opposite extreme. I was
myself present at a dinner party at
which one of the untutored stable-
hclpers was brought in on an emer-
gency, to assist.
“WVhat are these, John?" inquired
the languied hostess,"as John tremb-
lingly trust forward a dish Of tartlets

whenahe dledwentto hell, but was kicked

were adopted, MADeasy said, the release of

Another speaker-argued that agood land
bill should precede home rule, and created a
we uproar by doing so. He was inter-
mptod by cries of “Home rule!” “Home
rule!” on all sides, and was daily forced to
takehiaaeat. Mr. Decay, by a great effort,
succeeded in restoring order and pacifylng
the audience by repeating his denunciation of

home rule was notfar distant.

stove in a dark room. This is because
it allows artificial light to pass through
it freely, While glass absorbs both
artificial heat and light.

A barrel of kerosene oil buried ten
feet under ground will,.it is said, con-
taminate every well within a quarter
of a mile, and the oil will be apparent
to the taste. The accumulations of
privy vaults will extendttheir perni-
cious influence even a greater distance,
although the water which it affects
may not indicate to taste the presence
of any impurity; Whether privy vaults
are open or plastered with cement they
cannot keep the poisonous gases and
substances from penetrating the sur-
rounding soil.
The eyestone is really the front door
of a sea snail found on the South
American coast. Thousands of people
believe that these bits of shell are alive,
from the fact that they move when
placed in vinegar. The philosophical
explanation of the movement is that
the acid, acting upon the substance of
the shell, generates little bubbles of
gas, which force' it along through the
fluid. When you ‘pick out an eyestonc
be sure to get One with grooves on the
flat side. Those that‘are smooth all
over are taken from the crayfish, but
are no good.
Berlin papers copy from the Ger-
mania an account of an important
discovery in glass manufacture made
by Friencrich Siemens, of Dresden. He
has succeeded? in casting glass in the
same way as metal is cast, and obtain-
ing an article corresponding to cast,
metal. This cast glass is hard, not
dearer in production than cast iron,
and has the advantage of transparency,
so that all flaws can be detected before
it is applied to practicle use. It will be
much less exposed to injury from
atmospheric influence than iron. The
process of production is not diffcult,
the chief feature being rapid cooling.
The hardness and resisting power of
this cast glass are so great that experi-
ments are being just now carried out
at the Siemens Glass Foundry at
Dresden with the purpose of ascertaim
ing whetherthematerial could be em-
ployed for rails on railways.

Bismarck’s First Decoration.
While he was serving in the Uhlan
Cavalry, in 1842, his groom, who was
the son of a forester on his estate, rode
into the lake to give the horse a bath.
Missing his footing, the rider was
thrown, and disappeared in the water.
Bismarck was standing with a group of
officers on the bridge, and saw his sink-
ing groom. In an instant his sword
and uniform were on the ground, and he
leaped into the lake. He found the
struggling man, and seized him. But
in the blindagony of. a. drowning man
he clung so tightly to his master that
Bismarck, helpless, was obliged to dive
with his burden to loosen the hold. It
seemed both were lost. But, soon after,
bubbles rose to the surface, followed by
Bismarck, who in the depths had de-
tached the grip of the man, and now
appeared, dragging his groom with him,

and-swam to the shore. The inanimate
form was restored to life, and the fol-
lowing day to duty.
For this act he afterward received
the Prussian medal for “ Rescue from
Peril,” which was his first decoration;
and he proudly wore it when he had no
other. Nor has he since abandoned it,
for it finds its place still amid the high-
est Orders which European monarchs
have since showered upon his breast.
His friends are fond of telling his
answer to a much decorated diplomatist
who, seeing this lonely medal on his
young colleague’s coat, inquired what
decoration it was. Herr von Bismarck,
who, at that time, had no title and had
earned no courtly decoration, looked
him hard in the eye and said: “I am
in the habit" sometimes of‘saving ‘u
unsung, . . ~ . _.
