THE CHILDREN.
r[hey are such tiny feet!
They have gone so short way to meet
The years which are required to break
Their steps to evenness, and make ’
‘ Them go
More sure and Shaw.
They um such little handsl
Be 1mm; things are so new, and life but salads
A stop my un-I the doorway. All around
New (lily bus round _
Such lulllpliliz,’ things to shine’upon; and so
The hands are tempted oft, you know.
They are such had, clear eyes,
That which to surprise
At every turn: They are so Often held
To sun or showers; showers soon dispelled
By lOoking in our face.
Love asks, for such, much grace.
They are such fair, frail giftsl
Uncertain as the rifts .
or light that lie along the sky:
They may not be here by and by.
Give them not love, but more, above
And harder, patience with the love.

A FAN -CIFUL SKETCH.
She took a great fancy to me, and no doubt
I was very useful whenever she Wanted to
raise a breeze. On these occasions I would
spread myself and do my best to make her
keep cool; and though she often shut me up,
still I was always ready to screen her faults.
But-I never liked him. He cast a slur on
my bright reputation the first time we met
by saying I was a fraud—an impostor~that
I had never seen Japan. On revenge I was
determined, even if I had to create a cyclone.
They were passing Vantin’s window, when
my colors caught her artistic e‘ye; she imme-
diately entered the store, determined to buy
me. At first the clerk refused to remove me
from my show place; but, as she would be sat-
isfied with nothing else, they finally handed
me out, and than it was that he—her com-
panion—began his unseemly jests in regard
to my genuineness.
She took me home-and such a homel It
was one of those palatial houses on the ave-
nue; and though I missed my Japanese sur-
roundings, still it was a great relief to be
free from the incongruous crowd with whom
I had recently associated in the store.
An opportunity soon came for me to re-
taliate for his reflections on my character. I
had beenJeft on one of the sofas one evening
when he called, and not seeing me in the dim
light of the modern drawing room, he inno-
cently attempted to sit down on me; but I
was on my guard, and received him on the
little wire rivet which is prominent in all
our family.
I made my point, and he—with a familiar
quotation—bounded from the seat in a real
impetuous, unaffected, earnest manner, and
was about to vent his anger on me when she
swept into the room clothed in a blue, mod-
ernized directoire costume and a conventional
smile. During this call I continued to vent
my spite upon him by continually sliding
out of her hand upon the floor, thus affording
him much unwelcome exercise.
' However, notwithstanding my rejudice,
his Calls at the house were frequegt; and it
was a relief when she tacked me to the wall
in her own charming chamber, a room
swarming with graceful and artistic orna-
ments,_glowing in colors and Japanese bric-
a-brac.
Months passed. Spring, with its flowers
and sunshine, its house cleaning and mil-
linery bills, was upon us. One morning she
rushed into the room with a look of , childish
glee on her face, and a boating dress on her
slender form, snatched me from the wall, and
we were soon on our way to St. George in his
company. I renewed hostilities with him at
once by pretending to blow overboard. Of
course he was obliged to chase me, and I
made it warm for him.
Our excursion was to a lacrosse tour-
nament, and I waved myself tired cheer-
ing on the successful players; Then we went
to a boat house, and after the usual amount
of hustling a double canoe was launched, and
we three, with one or two well developed
screams, cautiously crept in.
I don’t kndw that I was really nervous-
but—still I felt that I would gladly have
adopted any form of religion for the time be-
ing. In the excitement I was dropped.
Spreading myself, however, I sailed lightly
on the surface of the water. She saw me
and impulsively reached out.
Canoes are not constructed so as to toler-
ate any sudden emotion of this kind. Some
shrill shrieks spread themselves over the
water, and-—the water spreads itself over
them both! I had a fine view of it all,
though somewhat sputtered
She was rescued by the captain of the boat
club, who had been carefully watching us all
the time; and to his credit, be it said, I, too,
was adroitly taken out by him, and carefully
spread out to dry—much to the disgust of my
old enemy, who laid the whole blame of the
upset on me.
After her rescue by the alert' and athletic
captain, I expected to see her fall on his neck
in the conventional style described in novels,
but I was disappointed; phe simply gave him
a. look of intense wetness—and the next day
wrote him a letter.
The captain looked out for me, and when I
was thoroughly dry, he took me in his pocket,
and, availing himself of her invitation, he
called; and once more I was installed in her
boudoir. But, alasl my style was cramped;
lines of care—and water—had fmado their in-
delible impression. I was no longer the
bright, gay, sparkling thing of yore; in fact,
I was so warped that I could hardly be made
to spread out on the wall which I had for-
merly so decorated.
One morning the maid brOught two letters
for her, and placed them on the little stand
right under me. I saw one was from him.
My old feeling of antagonism rose strong
within me, and, assisted by a strong draught,
I wrenched myself from the wall, and fell so
as to conceal his letter. The other missivc, I
noted with pleasure, was from the captain.
This she soon read with evident enjoyment,
while for forty-eight hours I continued to
conceal from her the other letter, which, it
afterwards transpired, contained an impor-
tant request; and be receiving . no reply,
quietly withdrew from the whirl of civiliza-
tion, going suddenly west-so report said.
After this I rapidly fell into disfavor, and
one day, when sending a box of old fashioned
garments and new fashioned novels to a rela-
tive in Dakota, I, too, was thrown in with
the discarded mass.
After a. series of adventures and delays by
rail, boat and mules, I was finally unpacked ,
ina frontier home by a lovely girl, whose
admiration for me, wreck as I was, seemed
unbounded: and from that moment, during
the hot months which followed, Vita and!
were almost inseparable. I hung at her side
on many a ride over the prairie among her
Indian neighbors, and great was their inter-
estln me—“the little piece of paper which
folds,” as they called' me. I never could re-
press a creeping sensation in regard to these
Home Missionary pets, particularly when]
saw them dressed-or undressed—for their
dances; but my artistic eye appreciated
their tepees, patched and smoke stained,
with their long poles sticking out of the
blackopeniug up into the sky. And their
poetical domestic life, it was charming to ob
serve; the noble Hiawathas doing the work
of pipe smoking, while the aged Minnehahal
nausea themselves toying With the hoe
among the waving corn, or. wrestling with
the fire wood. .
Our rides‘ were generally confined to the
Indian reservation, as this included the only
attractive scenery, the land in the other
direction being simply level, monotonous
prairie; and Vita. had no fear of the half
civilized Sioux, she being a good shot, a.
bold rider and a liberal dispenser of tobacco
and candy. .
One day as we approached the home of
“The Seven Brothers” there seemed to be
somewhat unusual excitement. Squaw ladies,
Indian gentlemen, artistically bare babies,
dime museum dogs, all seemed interested
over something. We soon learned that a
young traveler, a white man, while trying to
ride a pony which he was trading for, had
been thrown and kicked by the unbroken
, colt, and was lying in a state of unconscious~
ness. His arm was evidently broken, and
from the condition of his clothing he had
evidently been roughly handled by the pony’s
feet. Vita’s warm sympathies were touched
by his pallid, sufl’ering face, and she immedi-
ately arranged to have him conveyed to her
home. ’
Weeks passed These weeks were the busi-
est ever experienced in my checkered career.
From morning till night, and, in fact, often
through the entire night, I was in constant
motion. Some one had to watch the sick
man continually, and I was generally rc-
fuired to fan his fevered brow, and usually
was in Vitals hand; but of all this he was
unconscious, not having been in his right
mind one moment since his accident.
One morning he quietly opened his eyes,
and it almost made me rattle to see the
change it made in his face, and in that sec-
ond there was a mutual recognition. With-
outaword be grasped at me—ah, what a
flood of tender recollections I brought back
to himl—and great was Vita’s astonishment
ashe premed me to his lips, and his first
words were to ask how I came there. Then
she, in amazement at his demonstrations,
explained that I had been sent to her by a
cod'sininNew York. He, with that charac-
teristic thoughtfulness so prominent in man-
kind, without stopping to express a. word of
gratitude to tile patient, worn face that for
Weeks had tended himsofaithfully—he, weak
who was, attempted to dictate a letter—and
such aletter, fairly glowing with love'and un-
dying.afi’ection——to her, my former owner;
and poor Vita hadtowrite it all while he was
clasping'me to his heart. Yes, me! whom
fgrmerly he had so despised. Well, I too,
relented Itisso delightful to meet an old
acquaintance who has been as unfortunate
as one’s self.
By his dictation I learned that the note
from him which I had concealed for forty-
eight hours was d‘f such a tendencharacter
that-he, receiving 110 reply, took silence fora
dismissalpand suddenly, as we had. learned,
buried himself in the whirlpool of front-lei)
excitement.
After this letter was mailed he began
counting the days that must pass before he
could hope for a reply, and as he grew
stronger he‘d sit up in bed and talk for hours
of her to poor Vita. Finally, as his health
returned, they took long rides together
through the romantic paths on the reserva-
tion; they attended Indian dances, collected
bead Work and carved pipes; at other times
whole days were passed on the lake, under
the impression that they were fishing.
And thus weeks flew by and the letter
never came. Yes, they still talked of it; it
was impossible to drop the subject entirely,
he had said so much the first few days, but to
me it was almost amusing to .notice that
whenever the expected letter was now men-
tioned, what a, far away sound their voices
had, and then their voices would fall upon
them with a. great, heavy thud.
I soon saw as time went on that he dreaded
mail day, and what a look of relief would
mount his features when the mail arrived
without bringing the expected and now
dreaded letterl And Vita—well, it was evi-
dent she took care not to be present on the
arrival of the stage.
No matter how animated a conversation
they might be engaged in, just let any one
casually refer to the postoflice, and how the
light seemed to fade—how dark and gloomy
everything suddenly appeared. Even I
felt it. ‘
It was sunset—such a sunset as you can see
in Dakota only. They were seated on the
rugged edge of a home made hammock, their
hands were rather mixed and their eyes—
well, their eyes were not on the sunset, nor
on the road, where a neighbor was rapidly
approaching with a letter in his hand. The
first notice they had of his presence was
when the letter was tossed to him. It was
too late for Vita to escape this time;.she had
to sit there and see his trembling hands tear
the envelope—a worn, redirected, much post-
marked envelope. Evidently it had followed
him from place to place for Weeks.
How unconsciously she crushed me in her
hand, as her frightened eyes watched the
letter as it gradually appearch I think I
read it first, or at least realized its full mean-
ing before they did. It was simply the wed-
ding card of my former owner. She had
married her gallautxrescucr, the captain.
When I had recovered from my surprise
sufficiently to look at my companions, they
-—well—to an unprejudiced observer it looked
as if Vita’s arms were around his neck, and
to a. well trained car it soundedasif he had
kissed somebody—Demorwt's Monthly.
DEATH OF MAXIMILIAN.
Tho “Demands of Mexiéo"—Herolo‘ Con:
(l aft—A Tragic Scene.
From the day of his surrender until the
morning of his execution, Maximilian re-
mained in his convent cell. He pleaded three
excuses for not; attending his trial. Sickness
(his nervous system had given way immedi-
atel y after the surrender), the demands Of
his private affairs in anticipation of death—
for he was resigned to what he knew would
be the result—and the inferiority in rank of
the court selected to try him. The imperial
prisoner attracted the attention of all Mexico,
and the president at San Luis Potosi was be-
sieged with petitions from every part of the
country and from all classes of people, Re-
publican as well as Imperialists and him-par-
tisans, begging that the life of the emperor
might be spared. But he was deaf to all up-
peals, basing his refusals to grant mercy in-
variably upou the “demands Of Mexico.”
The conduct of the emperor during his last
ten days was so heroic as to win the admira-
tion of all. His letters, written in anticipa-
tion of death, to his family, to his counsel
and to his friends in Mexico are noble and
touching. He would be a heartless man who
could read them unmoved. Among his last
letters was one to President Juarez, pleading,
not for his own life, but that the lives of his
two brave generals might be spared. In" his
last hours he was comforted by the false re-
port brought to him that Carlota was dead.
He ever after spoke with assurance of soon
meeting his beloved wife beyond the grave.
At sunrise on the morning Of J line 19, 1867,
the emperor and his generals, Miramon and
Mejia. were led out to the Cerro do las Cam-
panas for excution. Maximilian yielded the
central place, the place of honor, to Mir-amon
as a testimonial to his bravery, and took his
place at the left of the line marked out. He
gave gold coins to the soldiers detailed to
fire the fatal volley, and begged them to aim
directly at his heart and avoid mutilating his
face. He had directed that his body he sent
to Europe, and he wished his mother to see his
face without any marks of the fearful death
he was to die. He took pains to wrap a
handkerchief around his long blondc beard
dressing the soldiers of the Republican army
and the immense crowd standing in sorrow-
ful silence on thchill side, he said, “Mexi-
cans, I (lie for a just cause—the indo-
pendcuce of Mexico. God grant that my
blood may bring happiness to my
new country. Viva Mexico!” Mira-
mou echoed his “Viva Mexico!” and the loud
report of muskets rang out over- thc hills and
valleys of Qucrctaro. The three men fell
heavily. Maximilian was not instantly
killed, and sprang to his feet at once, uttering
the most agonizing cries. A soldier advanced
and gave what is called the golpe do gracia
(the blow of mercy)——a well aimed shot which
pierced the heart of the emperor and
stretched his lifeless body beside those of his
companions in arms.
“He who knew not how to govern,”
said one of his republican critics, “at
least knew how to die." All over Mexico
there were mourning and tears of pity
for the attractive prince, whose career had
been so sadly ended in his 35th year; and, as
soon as the news of his untimely death went
abroad, expressions of sorrow and sympathy

an Independent Telegraph Systcr...
There has grown up among the farmers of
a county in Michigan a telegraph system,
which might generally be extended through-
out the rural districts everywhere. The sys~
tem began by two farmers connecting their
houses by a wire for their own convenience,
and operating their line with the ordinary
Morse instruments. 'Gradually other farmers
extended the line to their houses, and after a
time the wire was run into n. neighboring
village.
Seven years ago the combined farmers and
a. few village merchants organized them-
selves into a company, and it has since been
extended, until now it has sixty-five miles of
wire and ninety offices, two-thirds of the
latter being in farmhouses, and nearly all
the rest being in stores, where these farmers
do all their trading. One or two newspaper
offices, as many more railroad frieght offices,
the county telephone exchange and the
larger postoflices are all connected. Every
farmer is his own operator, battery marl and
line repairer. Of course, any quantity of
private communication is kept up between
the stockholders of this independent system.
There are two or three indepenpent systems
of these lines in operation in the county, ar-
ranged so that they can be connected with
each other at intersecting points, and the
whole scheme is being worked very cheaply
and successfully—Baltimore Sun.

INCREA YOUR PENSION;
Many pensioner orne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of peuslon than they now
receive. Inagreat majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner ls
entitledjo an increase of rate, and in most cases
'where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and It often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaratlon. The pension, laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims, and if you Will
present me with a brief statement of your case,
stating by whom 11. was presented, I will obtain a
rehearing of your case, and, if it has merit, will
procure a. favorable settlement. Many clalms
stand rejected before the department, when it
only requires n competent attorney to make them
good cases. Soldiers swim-ing with disabilities
contracted in service, who have not appliedfur a
pension, should do so as it is their RIGHT.

3 SOME EXPENSIVE LUXU RI ES.
I Costliest Artliles In America—Furniture,
Jewelry, Books and Pictures.
I have come across a curious paper com-
piled by some of those cranks with a passion
for figures and utatistits and is meant to show
how tremendous is the luxury of this city.
He begins by saying that Mr. H. G. Mar-
quand has the costliest piano in the world.
Steinway made the works and the case——
painted by Alma Tadema—was done in Lon-
don, tho whole costing $46,000. This stands
in Mr. Marquand’s famous music room, one
of the most luxurious and beautiful cham-
bers in this country. He also has the cost-
liest billiard table in this country, having
'paid for it in round numbers 826,000, and
everything in the house is on a scale to bar-
monize with these expensive bits of furniture.
The costliest dinner service ever made was
done in this city by Tiffany. Mr. Mackoy
brought with him from his mines $75,000
worth of bullion, and this the jewelers made
up into a service, asking $120,000 for the
work, making the cost of it in all $195,000,
and no sovereign in Europe cats from such a
gorgeous plate. Yet, strange to say, Mackey
isassimpleaspossible in his manner. The
costliest string of pearls in this country be-
lougs to Mrs. Louis Hamersley, and was the
one she wore on her neck one night last
winter when a thief put his hand in the can
riage window and tried to snatch them, suc-
ceeding only in breaking the string and scat-
tering the pearls, which were all recovered
with the exception of one. He had heard of
their price, doubtless—$51,000—and made a
sudden grasp at fortune. Mrs. Willie Vau-
derbilt wears a solitaire diamond ring which
cost $48,000, while Mrs. Cornelius has just
purchased for $125,000 the fittings of one
room. The late Mrs. Mary Morgan paid
$250,000 for a diamond necklace, and Mrs.
Hicks-Lord has one equally as valuable.
. The most expensive picture in this country
is Meissonier’s “1807,” which hangs in the
Metropolitan museum, presented by Henry
Hilton, who paid‘ $00,500 for it. It has been
estimated that this sum would more than
cover the entire canvas with 820 gold pieces.
The most expensive book Of its size in New
York is the 1609 edition of “Shakspeare’s
Sonnets,” of which but two copies exist, one
intho British museum, and the other owned
by the publishers Dodd & Mead. They paid
$5,000 for it, which in weight is about 6480
an ounce. In the Lenox library is a perfect
copy of tho Mazarinc or Guttenbcrg Bible,
the first book printed with movable types.
It is worth $25,000, and nothing better has
been done since. Crayton Ives has an imper-
fect copy for which he paid $15,000. J. IV.
Bouton, the book dealer, sold a Bible the
other day for $10,000. It was originally in
three volumes, but by “Gl'ayerisnI”—the ill-
scrtion of wood cuts, manuscript, engrav-
ings and etchings—it has expanded to sixty
imperial folio volumes—Brooklyn Eagle.
Experience of n. Vegetarian.
2 Mr. McCi-one has always been a. very hard
worker, and in the field would outwork any
of his numerous laborers, who were animal
food eaters and troubled with a frequent dc-
sil'e for drink, to gratify which not only rc-
tardcd them in their work, but was a source
of relaxation as well. He never feels the
need of water or other liquids as a. beverage,
but uses a generous'supply‘of ‘milk‘ in his
dict. His general diet consists of oatmeal
and milk, Graham bread crackers, vegetable
soups, potatoes, corn and other common
vegetables, and also considerable fruit of
various kinds. His use of drinking water,
he thinks, will not average over a quart a
year, fruit supplying a great deal of the
moisture necessary for the body.
As regards the relish of food it is a well
known fact that a more discriminating taste
is acquired by entire abstinence from meat,
and if this be doubted, a trial of a few weeks,
even two weeks, will convince the most
skeptical that it is not owing to n. keeuer
appetite consequent upon the stoppage of the
habitual hearty diet, but that meal: really
does blunt the taste—and such a. trial will
injure no one. Mr. McCrono thinks three
weeks a fair trial, and believes that any one
at the end of that time will admit thzit he
feels better and derives more enjoyment from
the food he cats, and if continued, will be
better in every way for it. He cites the
healthier condition of the lower classes in
foreign countries, who are unable from their
small wages to Obtain meat; while those of
better means, in the cities principally, livc
upon animal food and areas a rule of more
feeble constitution and in no way so well
equipped for life’s battle. Consequently the
recruiting supply of the armies of those
countries is drawn largely from the poorer
classes, who have more endurance and are
better fighters than their City cousins. They
transmit stronger constitutions to their of!-
spring, and are longer lived, and practically
free from the pains and ills which humanity
is commonly afflicted with. The history of
various ancient nations furnishes strong ar-
guments in favor of his doctrine in their rise,
strength, progress and decadence—Spring-
field Republican. e
The Captive Prairie Dogs.
“When I was a little boy my father moved
from Hoosierdom over upon a broad and
blooming prairie in Illinois,” said a man to a.
reporter. “One ti y father trapped four
or five prairie dogs. I don’t know‘ how he
managed it; I’ve forgotten that. I think
they must have been young and foolish, like
baby rats, which ventured where their pa
and ma would ncver go. My father brought
them home, and we children hugged our-
selves in delight as we fancied them as pretty
pets, like squirrels or white rabbits. A cage
was quickly fitted up, the captives were
placed in it and surrounded by all the dain-
ties which we fancied could tempt them to
forget their captivity. Our parents kept us
away from the cage, as the little strangers re-
garded us with a terror which they did not
attempt to conceal. But we went to place
more food before them the next morning.
The food previously provided had not been
touched. The little prisoners sat wcarily on
their haunches in the dark extremity Of their
' cell. Childish curiosity was repressed till the
second morning, when the cage was again
visited. The captives sat in the same posi-
tion, and no morsel of the varied bill of fare
