A PORTRAIT.

Who is that young and gentle dame who stands
in yonder gilded frame,

Clad in a simple muslin gown where ‘broidered
frills hang llmply down,

Blue ribbons in her yellow curls, around her neck
a string of pearls—

Her eyes, blue stars in ancient gloom, a—seeking

. you all o‘er the room,

As if to call sweet memories to her?—

My grandmother before I knew her.
—St. Nicholas.

. THE CRAVE BIGGER.

A rattle of musketry came from the direc-
tion of the village. The old grave digger,
Boloski, wakened by the noise, sat up on his
miserable pallet, listened a moment to the
sharp, quick reports, then called aloud:
“Milena! Milena!”

“Coming, father, coming!” she answered,
and already the little naked feet showed
themselves upon the rounds of the ladder
which led from the loft.

“Did you hear them, Milena?” he cried;
“the sounds of the gun shots? They are
fighting in the village”——a violent fit of
coughing interrupted his words, and another
rattling volley.

Milena had descended just asshe quitted
her couch of straw—a young girl, tall, vig-
orous and scantily draped in a brief chemise.
She had thrown about her shoulders a short
pelisse of sheepskin, but her Amazon hips
showed themselves firm and beautiful under
their light covering, and her virginal breasts
appeared an instant, white as polished mar-
ble, against the black fur.

“It is true, then!” said she, leaping the last

~ steps; “it has come at last!”

“What, my child?” demanded the sick one.

“The revolution has broken out to-night,
which has been expected so long.”

“Yes, and agreat misfortune it is, too,”
mumbled Boloski, and he crouched again
upon his couch. Milena, meanwhile, hur-
riedly arrayed herself in a wadded petticoat

' and her father’s long boots. Binding a scar-
let handkerchief about her abundant locks,
she went out to learn what was passing.

The cemetery was situated upon a hill, sur-

rounded by a low earthen wall, with the but
of the grave digger standing at its gate. It
was an excellent post of observation, yet
Milena did not stop there, but passed on into
the darkness, beneath the bare branches of
the willows, upon which the ravens were
ah'eady croaking, and with a single, careless
glance upon the files of tombs, with their
leaning crosses. Everything was mournful
and desolate, everything covered by the mel-
ancholy shroud of winter. She herself
walked in snow so deep and thick that it
mounted almost to her knees. The cold was
terrible; the frozen breath of the night
whipped and stung the skin like red hot nee-
dks, but Milena only rubbed her face with a
handful of snow and buttoned her pelisse
closer.
Below, in the heart of the valley, the vil-
age had delivered itself to strife and blood-
hed, yet here upon this sacred ground all
vas peace. A large cross rose in the middle
.f the inclosure, to which was attached the
gure of the dying Saviour; shining icicles
.endant from the thorns which crowned his
row and from the nails which pierced his
ands and feet.

Milena listened intently; not a murmur for
he moment broke the stillness. She stopped
nd gazed up at the heavens, the vast blue
vault which seemed to her a satin canopy, re-
ained in place by golden nails, which sparkled
.d scintillated above her, While beyond
here, on the other side of the forest, rode the
ed disk of the rising moon.

All at once, a gliding. crouching form passed
or like afiash, a pair of glowing eyeballs
lured into her own.

“A wolf!” she murmured, and, with an
.ergetic movement, wherein shone all the
vage strength of this child of nature, she
ized a stone from a neighboring wall, and
v 'ew herself forward. A low howlresponded
v the stroke of her arm, and the hungry
- , st was gone as it had coma—a shadow——
rough those files of tombs and spectral
osses.

A fresh crash of musketry sounded in the
stance; another, and still another. Milena
versed at a run the slope of the road which
. to the village, and, at the beginning of
e first houses, met a neighbor and a.
.unded man, the wife, whom she knew well,
"porting the husband, whose blood dyed
- snow at every step.
‘What is the matter?” demanded Milena. .
‘The peasants of our village,” replied the
n, “and of Mikouloif are struggling wit-h
- insurgents down by the cafe and the little
od. All goes well, however; the scythes
-. sharp and do their bloody mowing; the
ds of the rebels fall like grain!”
‘S0!” said Milena; and she aided the pens
to place her husband in his bed andto
(1 his wounds; then retraced her steps to
nquillize her father.
11 hour later a loud knocking sounded
DI]. the gate of the cemetery.
See what it is, Milena,” said the grave
ger again; and Milena, obeying the com-
. d, opened the wicket obstructed by frost,
1nd before it a row of sledges encompassed
horsemen, the barrels of their muskets
the blades of their sickles sparkling in
rays of the moon.

ice from the crowd; open the gate, and

; I dare not go out on a night like this.”

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 28 1889.

great swallow of brandy commenced to dig
the first trench, crooning as she worked the
words of an ancient gravedigger’s song.

The sad melody, monotonous and slow as
befitted the song of the dead, was accompa-
nied by the dull ringing of the iron upon the
frozen ground, the distant howling of the
hungry wolves.

Another swallow of brandy, another swing
of her muscular arms, and so it went till the
trench was done, and Milena, waiting a mo-
ment to regain her breath, gazed on the
corpses.

“ ’Twas doubtless you,” said she to an old
man with long white curls, clad in a rich
cloak trimmed with zibeline, and in whose
girdle sparkled a superb yataghan, “ ’twas
doubtless you who led the band. W’ell, this
time, too, you shall go before!”

And she took him in her arms like a little
child, descended into the trench herself and
gently laid him upon the ground. With the
others she was not so ceremonious; an arm, a
leg, a shoulder, anything, in short, that
helped to lift and toss them to their bed in
the ditch, served her purpose.

“But God help me!” she cried out sudden-
ly, as before her in the snow lay stretched a
bleeding trunk, “God help me, if it isn’t the

.lord of Kamiez, that cursed Turk and 0p-
pressor of the poor I”

And she struck the face of the head that
lay beside the trunk a blow which sent it roll-
ing like a ball to the depths below.

Another swallow of brandy, a new body in
the hole, then, the tomb securely closed, Mi-
lena was ready to begin a second.

In the mean time, the moon rising higher
and higher in the heavens, wrapped in its
wan light the silent graves, the crucifix, the
thatched roofs of the now sleeping village
and the vast and soundless plain.

And again, the second trench ready, Mi-
lena approached another group of dead; the

face of the first one was covered with blood”

which had run from a. cut in the head. At
the same instant she heard a sigh—a long,
shuddering breath, that came from this body.
Milena drew back hastily; courageous as she
was, she felt her hair rise upon her head;
and soon she saw that rigid body begin to
stir.

He still lived, then. There was no longer
adoubt of it! She caught him in her arms
in order to succor him, rubbing with snow
that face begrimed with blood and powder,
and chafing his frozen hands.
his eyes unclosed.

“Valerian 2” his name upon Milena’s lips
was half a scream and half acry of menacing
anger.

She shook her head brusquely, thrust him
from her, and rose to her feet.

“Save you i” said she, with a calm more
terrible than either rage or the joy of a glut-
ted vengeance; “when it is God that has de-
livered you into my hands! You betrayed
me; you now belong to me! Pray to your
God, Valerian, perhaps he will be merciful,
but from me expect no pardon i”

“You have forgotten, then, Milena, for-
gotten how I loved you I”

“N o, I have forgotten nothing; but you,
what have you done with all those vows?
You, who ruined me, who then, in spite Of
everything, left me for another! I shall not
spare you, be sure of that!”

“You will not kill me ?” murmured the un-
happy one. ‘

“Kill you? No I” She smiled with aglacial
irony which made him shudder. “I shall
only do my duty—I shall bury you, as I have
received the order I”

“Bury me?” cried Valerian; “bury me—
living?”

“W'hy not?” responded Milena, with a
burst of cruel laughter; “I must. earn the
sheepskin for my back, which the mayor
promised me!”

“Have pity, Milena, for God’s sake, have
pity!”

“Did you have pity‘ upon me?” she an-
swered, sternly; “you, who have vowed me
to sorrow and to shame! This for your beau-
tiful love, behold it!”

And she seized him by the shoulders and
sought to thrust him in; but he, with that
frightful death before him, had risen to his
feet, and a furious struggle began between
them; a hopeless struggle, too, for soon Va-
lerian renounced all thought of wresting him-
self from the embrace of this savage creature;
from loss of blood his strength was gone from
him—he was but a child in her cruel hands!

“Mercy, Milena, I beseech you, mercy!”

She responded with a disdainful foot thrust
which sent him rolling into the gaping hole.
A last time he struggled to his feet, his arms
outstretched and clasping her knees with sup
plicating gesture.

But his prayers only rendered her more
ferocious still. She caught up her spade and
struck his hands; their grasp relaxed; she
struck again, a second, a third blow—lie fell!

And Milena?

Milena, with one hand clenched upon her
spade, the other doubled upon her hip, stood
there and heard him groaning; stood there
and contemplated him with cold, fierce eyes
and voluptuous pleasure.

“Now,” said she, at last, “now, Valerian,
are you mine?”

Then she began to crumble the earth be-
tween her fingers and to fill in the ditch, to
fill it in and stamp it down, as she had filled
and stamped the first, her voice, firm and
clear as ever, rising always in the chorus of
her sinister song, and always accompanied by
the sound of the clods falling one upon the
other, by the ring of the spade, by the cam-
ing of the crows circling hungrily above the
heap of yet unburied dead!

And, in the east, the first gray lights of the
coming morning slowly spread themselves
across the heavens, pale and cold as the smile
upon the faces of the frozen clay I—Trans-
lated for The Argonaut from the Russian of
Sacher-Masoch by E. C. Waggener.

 

The Keen Eyed Lineman.

The other day I was watching some men
removing telegraph poles from the streets,
and I remarked to a bystander, concerning a
man who was on top of a tall, swaying pole:
“That’s a brave man,” “Yes,” he replied.

“They are plucky fellows, all the linemen,

but the most remarkable thing about them is
their vision. A bee hunter has no better eye

than a. competent lineman. The city poles ;
are high and the wires are far from the pave- ’

ment, yet a lineman can walk at fair speed
along the curb and follow with his eye a wire
that he has been sent to repair, never con-
fusing it with others, and detect the place
where it has been crossed. Now, I suppose,
the subways will develop a man with an
organism so sensitive that by touch hecan
tell between which man holes the circuit is
broken.”—The Epoch.

The King's Little Joke.

A Swedish smman recently inveighed
most eloquently in parliament against oletr
margarine. Next evening he was invited to
dine with the loving, who loves a joke. There
was only obomargu'ine on the royal table,
and the statemnan literally putaok thereof.
Atthecloeootthomealtheldng asked him:
“Well, air, how do you like our butter!"
“It is excellent,” Exiled thesbteemano “the
contrast between “and artificial butter is
very marked.” ‘iBut,” said the king, “that
I. artificial butter!” The other guests roofed

In a moment

 

 

Great Rejolcing.

In times past many remarkable events must
have escaped general attention; but in these
days the newspaper reporter is everywhere
at once, as it were. One of these busy and
useful public servants, connected with The
New York Dispatch, recently rescued from
oblivion a scene, “a thrilling incident,” he
calls it, of which, but for his timely appear-
ance, the world might never have heard.

A brawny man, clad in a blue shirt and
overalls, and with a. dinner pail in his hand,
walked slowly down an east side street one
evening last week. He seemed to be thinking
of something pleasant, for, as he walked, he
smiled and muttered to himself.

Near the middle of the block he paused, for
right before him was a group of children
standing in front of a tenement house. The
children were evidently waiting for him, for
they broke out at once, “Here he comes!” and
began to dance and caper like mad.

A broad grin broke over the face of the
workman, but when he tried to move on the
children flocked around him so that he was
compelled to stop. The door of the house
opened, and a young woman came out, lead-
ing a. little boy by the hand. The children
with one voice exclaimed, “Ah 1” and the
boy ran to the man and was quickly seized in
his arms and repeatedly kissed.

The crowd had by this time grown very
large, and women and children, in a babel of
voices, shouted themselves hoarse.

Finally the man and the boy went into the
house and the crowd began to scatter. Still
lingering the scribe essayed again to learn
what the matter was. Seeing a little girl
come out of the door, he went to her and in-
quired:

“Sissy, what is the matter here!"

“Oh,” she said, “don’t you know Johnny
Green has just got on his first pair of pants?”

Superstitions Remedies.

For sore eyes a. touch from an old gold wed—
ding ring is a popular remedy, and many an
old woman’s ring has earned for itself a great
name as an eye healer. Apparently reliable
people can be found who assert that they
have been cured by a touch of this descrip-
tion. Borlase asserts as a fact that a. halter
with which any one has been hanged will
cure headache instantly if tied around the
head, and he adds: “Moss growing upona
human skull, if dried and powdered and
taken as snuff, is no less efficacious. ”

Brand tells of several superstitious rem-
edies or charms: “Hollow stones are hung
up in stables at night to prevent nightmare
or ephialtes. They are usually called in the
north of England ‘holy stones.’ The chips
of gallows and places of execution are used
as umulets against agues. I saw lately some
sawdust in which blood was absorbed taken
for some such purpose from oif the scaffold
on the beheading of one of the rebel lords,
1746. For warts we rub our hands before the
moon, and commit any maculated part to the
touch of the dead. The Rev. Mr. Shaw, in
his history of the ‘Province of Moray,’
says that in hectic or ccnsumptive diseases
they pare the nails of the fingers and toes of
the patients, put these parings into a rag
cut from his clothes, then wave the hand
with the rag thrice round the hand, crying
‘Deas Soil.’ After this they bury the rag in
some unknown place. He tells us he has
seen this done, and Pliny, in his ‘Natural
History,’ mentions it as practiced by the
magicians or Druids of his time. ”—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. ‘

Toe Joint.

I fear I have lost my credit as aman of
science among my Acadian neighbors for-
ever. I spent the day, not long since, at the
house of one of them, and, during the fore-
noon, one of the tribe‘of small boys killed a
jOint snake in front of the veranda on which
we were sitting. This led, of course, to the
remark from one of the company that the
pieces would reunite before sundown and the
snake be whole again. I ought to have held
my tongue, but no; I must needs demur to
the statement, and the controversy was final-
ly settled by both parties agreeing to the cru-
cial test of letting the remains lie undisturbed
and allowing facts to decide. The subject
was forgotten by all of us until we broke up
to go home after supper, when some one re-
membered it, and we all went to see which
disputant was right. Alas for me! every
joint but one had disappeared, and there, but
a few feet from where they had been, lay
coiled—a jointed snake! On my attempting
feebly to hold my own by evidence of the one
joint that was left, arguing that this was
consequently another snake, and not the
“original Jacobs” at all, I was met with the
triumphant statement that this snake was
just that one joint shorter, and that, in the
hurry and agitation of his reconstruction
movement, he had overlooked this one mem-
ber, and thus failed to incorporate it into the
new body politic. “Logic is logic,” and I re-
tired defeated from the field—Forest and
Stream.

 

A Few Things to Remember.

Here are a few miscellaneous hints, rules
and facts worth remembering:

A cord of stone, three bushels of lime and
a cubic yard of sand will lay 100 cubic feet of
wall.

One thousand shingles, laid four inches to
the weather, will cover 100 square feet of sur-
face, and five pounds of shingle nails will
fasten them on.

A box 16 inches square and 8 2-5 inches
deep will contain one bushel.

One cent saved each day and put out at 6
per cent. interest will accumulate to $950 in
fifty years.

Eight bushels of good lime, sixteen bushels
of sand and one bushel of hair will make
enough good mortar to plaster 100 square
yards.

A stone, used by grocers, is equal to four-
teen pounds.

It takes from 1% to 2
sow one acre of ground.

To find the amount of hay in a mow allow
512 cubic feet for a ton.

A thousand laths will cover seventy yards
of surface, and eleven pounds of lath nails
will nail them on. — New York Evening
World.

A Fabulous Price.

Wide as the public opened their eyes at the
astonishing sum of £500 at which Seymour’s
“six original drawings for ‘Pickwick’ " were
knocked down to Mr. Quaritch, they would
open them wider still could they see what it
was for which the amount was paid. The
scrap book in which they were pasted was a
child’s ordinary exercise book, which was dis-
figured by coarsely colored scraps,’,~“painted”
doubtless, by one of the unhappy artist’s chil-
dren. The sketches themselves were so small
that four of them were stuck on to one o
undthreeof them are said to be torn. A -
don expert valued the “lot” at £70, and yet
so eager was Am can competition and so
dong ty was Britis opposition—in the per-
son of Mr. Quaritch—that it was only the
champion dealer’s final £5 advance on £495
that saved the little Pickwlckian relim to the
old country—London latter.
