TO A SEA MEW.

 

Our dreams have wings that falter;
Our hearts bear hopes that die;
For thee no dream cougd better
A life no fears may fett'er,
A pride no care can alter,
That wots not whence or why;
Our dreams have wings that falter,
Our hearts bear hopes that die.

With joy more fierce and sweeter
Than joys we deem divine,
Their lives, by time untarnishcd,
Art girt about and garnished,
Who match the wave‘s full meter
And drink the wind‘s wild wine
With joy more fierce and sweeter
Than joys we deem divine.

Ah, well were I forever,
Wonldst thou change lives with me,
And take my soul‘s wild honey,
And give me back thy sunny
Wide eyes that weary never,
And wings that search the sea?
Ah, well were I forever,
Wouldst thou change lives with me?
—Algcrnon Charles Swinburne.

ONE WOMAN’S WAY.

 

“It’s no use; I’ve worn all the cast 01?
:lothes I’m going to.”

There was no sign of irritation or ill na-
ture in the girl‘s bright face as she made this
assertion. She sat in the center of a heap of
discarded finery. There were frayed and
spotted velvet skirts, satin and silk waists,
strained out and threadbare in almost every
seam, flounced and bedraggled gros grains
and nun’s veiliigs, crumpled ribbons and
torn laces.

' “TVhat do you propose to wear?”

Florence Annable’s only companion on this
occasion was her married sister, Mrs. Paul
Grenman, in whose pretty ears sparkled val
uable solitaires, and whose fingers were
crowded with costly jewels. Mrs. Gren-
man’s tone was cold, and the smile on her
faultless lips was almost a sneer.

“I don’t mean anything unkind, Julia,”
Miss Annable replied, “but the truth is, I am
not comfortable in second hand clothing.”

“Blanche would be edified at your remarks,
Florence,” said Mrs. Grenman; “it was no
easy task to get these things together,” she

added, with increased hauteur. “You know
very well that my maid expects every gar-
ment I discard, and so does Blanche’s.”

Notwithstanding her protest, the young
lady had selected the least injured of the vel-
vet skirts and had begun to rip off the braid.
But she threw down her scissors now and
stepped out of the debris.

“That settles it, Julia,” she said, with shin-
ing eyes, but with no other indication of ex-
citement. “I will sort those ‘rags and jags
and velvet gowns’ into bundles, and you and

lanche need not disappoint your maids.”

“‘What stupidity, Florence I” Mrs. Gren-
man hastened to say. “You know that we
want you to have our things. You have
made lovely costumes many times out Of
poorer material than that is there.”

The lady’s tone was a little more concilia-
tory. She evidently had some reason for not
wishing her sister to carry out her threat.

"These things are much more suitable for
your maid than for your sister, Julia,” Miss
Annable replied, as she set about her task.

“Perhaps, you think that your sisters should
keep you supplied with new clothes?” said
Mrs. Grenman.

“No, I do not; but I will tell you what I

. 0 'think,” Miss Annable responded, with
I.eightened color, but in firm, cool tones. “I
hink that you and Blanche ought to be will-
ng that I should earn my wardrobe.”
“Earn it?” said Mrs. Grenman, disdainful—
y. “What new and abominable crotchet
ave you got into your head now? Some-
hing to disgrace us all, I suppose.”

“If you and Blanche would pay me in hard
ash, as you would be compelled to paya pro-
-.. 'onal, for playing the piano at your lunch-
on parties and your kettledrums, your re-
-ptions and your informal evening gather-
gs, I could buy my own clothes, and be
uch better satisfied.”

Mrs. Grenman’s astonishment and indigna-
-n were overwhelming.

“Who ever thought that one of our family
uld be so coarse and mercenary? Pay one’s
- . sister for playing a few sonatas and quad—
? es once in a while! Why don’t you ask us
‘I pay you for condescending to attend our
" tledrums and receptions? Indeed, Florence,
I, I must say it, I think you have been gen-
usly compensated for anything you have
r done for either of us;” and Mrs. Grenman
’ ved a. jeweled hand toward the bundles in
' center of the room.

Julia, I will find out what a professional
.: ist will charge for playing the piano the
u e number of hours that I do,” Miss Anna—
? began again, calmly. “Then, not being
, ofessional, I will play for you and Blanche
‘ , just half that amount.”

NORWALK‘GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 4 l889.

' I Mrs. Grenman’s handwas on the knob of

the door as she asked this question. ,

“I wish you toundersland that I do not re-
gard your old velve!.'and silk gowns as a fair
equivalent for my servicesas chief musician,”
said Miss Annable. “And also, that I not
only believe with the Bible that ‘the laborer
is worthy of his hire,’ but that labor is emi-
nently respectable.”

The departing guest’s twist of the door
knob was nothing less than vicious. Flor-
ence, who knew her sister perfectly, under‘
stood that the breach between them now
would be a hard one to bridge. Work was a
degradation, in the opinion of her own near
relatives. But it was not so for her. There
were two ways in which she knew she could
earn a generous support. One was by her
musical talent, and the other by her taste
and ability in designing costumes.

“It is wicked to keep you at the piano, Miss
Annable, when we al know you are so fond
of dancing, but no one plays as you do,” her
friends were constantly saying.

Now why, she asked herself, with this
available talent in her possession, should she
not earn some money, and in a businesslike
and “open and above board” manner, as men
termed it? MiSS Annable was unable to see
why she should be idle and wear her sister’s
Cast oll‘ clothes any more than the man who
had a room across the corridor should be
idle and wear his rich brother’s “rags and
jags.”

This question of the utilization of talent
had been logically met and settled a good
while before, but the hinderances in the way
of putting her theories into practice had
been hard to overcome. Her sisters had
aimed high and brought down their game.
It was no more than fair that she should 210
the same, her relatives had frequently told
her, instead of occupying the fourth story
back in a crowded boarding house, and mak-
ing them a world of trouble in explaining
and excusing her anomalous position. Their
frequent assertions that sister Florence was
exceedingly peculiar, and could not be in-
duced to make a home with either of her
relatives, were in the main true. Miss An-
nable could have made herself useful in
either of these establishments, but her liberty
was far too precious to jeopardize by any
such arrangement. Here in the sky parlor
certain hours of each day were her own, her
very own.

A few hours later Miss Annable was driv-
ing in the park with some friends. She
passed both of her sisters, and their recogni-
tion, though calculated to deceive her com—
panions, was well understood by her. J ulia
had communicated with Blanche, and they
had both shown their displeasure in as
marked a manner as the circumstances would
permit. This recalcitrant member of their
aristocratic family was to be brought to
terms. Florence Annable smiled as she
thought of it

Clarke Durivage rode along by the side of
the landau, and chatted with the young la-
dies. For the first time since Florence had
decided not to wear any more “cast ofl’s” her
courage failed her. She felt it to be a humil—
iating truth that she cared more for this
man’s good opinion than for anything else in
the world; to think that she was quite inde-
pendent of remark or criticism from- any
other quarter, but not from him, filled her
with confusion and alarm. Mr. Durivage
had been the only man she had met in society
who had talked to her as if she were possessed
of an equal intelligence.

Miss Annable canvassed the subject very
thoroughly in these few minutes. Her scorn
of her own weakness, as shown by the pres-
ence of this man, acted like a spur to her con-
science.

"The die is cast,” she told herself, as Mr.
Durivage bade her good evening. “I will
not wear jags, and so must play jigs.”

The young lady did not estimate her mu-
sical talent at its true value. It was almost a
case of genius. She could play the works of
the most favored composers. and with a power
and expression which delighted the most crit-
ical. And so it came to pass that Miss Flor-
ence Annablo was engaged at regular pro-
fessional prices to play for a party at the
house of the wealthy and distinguished Mrs.
Van Cortland. Her sisters were both pres-
ent, but neither of them came near her during
the evening, and in this way the world found
out there had been a quarrel.

“Good evening, Miss Florence.”

“Good evening, Mr. Duvivage.”

“It is rather singular there is no one here
to play but you,” the gentleman remarked.
“I have been waiting a half hour to invite
you to dance.”

“It is not in the least singular, Mr. Duri-
vage,” said the musician, smiling heroically,
“for I am regularly employed to play for
Mrs. ‘Van Cortlaud’s guests this evening.”

The plunge was made, the worst was over,
and Florence felt that she could look herself
squarely in the face when the evening was
over.

“And you— on have struck out in this
way for yourself?”

There was a strange quality in the gentle-
man’s voice that his companion did not un-
derstand.

”Struck out?” Miss Annable laughingly
answered. “That’s a good phrase. It requires
muscle, I assure you.”

“But your sisters, Miss Florence?”

“They are here. You must have seen them.
The next piece is a quadrille, Mr. Durivage.
Please listen to it critically. It is my own
composition.”

The music was a success. The applause and
excitement that followed
amounted to an ovation. Mr. Durivage drew
near the piano and read the title.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” he said, in loud,
clear tones, “the name of the original quad-
rille which has so delighted us is ‘Rags and
Jags and Velvet Gowns.’ ”

There came a time when Florence Annable
could tell her friend, Mr. Durivage, the
whole story, and the following is the sulr
stance of his reply: '

“I determined,” he said, “to woo and win
you that night at Mrs. Van Cortland’s. I
had cared for you from the first day of our
acquaintance, but how could I help feeling
that you might be like your sisters—ultra
fashionable, purse proud, regardful only of
appearances. \Vhat kind of helpmeets would
your sisters make if misfortune should over-
take their husbands? And then, Florence, I
have always maintained that it was just as
reprehensible for a woman to be idle and de-
pendent as for a man. As my wife, there
will be no need for you to continue your pro-
fessional career, but your talent must never
be neglected, and for two reasons: First, be-
cause it will always be our greatest source of
enjoyment, and. next, became every woman
should always hold in her hands the means of
support. ”—True Flag. -

The Stuarts.

The royal house of Stuart were an exceed-
ingly disreputable set of people, but in their
lives and their persons they were, with all
their crimes and their vices, essentially sym-
pathetic. The life and death of Mary Queen
of Scots is one long poem, overbrimming
with the deepest pathos. Romance of the
mournfulest but of the most fascinating
kind environs the careers of Charles I and
of the old and young Pretenders. Charles
II, rascal as he was, has not lost his senti—
mental hold on the affections of the English
people. To them he is still the “merry mon-
arch,” who on his deathbed murmured to his
brother, “Let not poor Nelly starve.” Pity
and sympathy can even be felt for James II
himself, dethroned and banished, and lan-
guishing into extinction at St. Germains.
These feelings of sentiment went very far in-
deed toward making the triumph of the
Stuart exhibition.

There are still—in a sentimental sense, of
course—ardent partisans of Mary Queen of
Scots, and of the young Chevalier. Jacobites
abound in the very best societiy; but it is
questionable whether there yet linger any
political adherents of Henry VIII or Queen
Elizabeth. The materials for a Tudor exhi-
bition are amazingly copious and rich, but
the display itself must vindicate its claims to
public recognition less as an abstract and
brief chronicle of the Tudor monarchs than
as the reproduction of a splendidly pictur-
esque and artistic epoch. One most import-
ant step toward the latter consummation will
be made, as the committee have hastened to
announce, by a special endeavor to bring to-
gether as complete a. series as possible of the
works of the illustrious artist Hans Holbein,
court painter to Henry VIII, who, at least,
knew how to estimate the genius of the great
master. “Look you here,” said the Tudor
kingto the haughty noble who complained
that the painter had been rude to him: “Out
of seven plowmen I can make seven lords, but
out of seven lords I cannot make one Hol-
bein. ”—London Telegraph.

Lion and Hippopotamus as Food.

The lion is eaten by some African races,
but its flesh is held in small esteem. The
Zulus find carrion so much to their liking
that, according to the late Bishop Colenso,
they apply to food peopled by large colonies
of larvze the expressive word “uborni,” sig-
nifying in their uncouth jargon “great hap-
piness.” David Livingstone, that keen and
accurate observer, reminds us that the abo-
riginal Australians and Hottentots preferred
the intestines of animals. “It is curious,”
he says, “that this is the part which animals
begin with, and it is the first choice of our
men.” On this point I may remind the civil-
ized reader that the woodcock and the red
mullet or sea woodcock are both eaten and
relished without undergoing all the cleansing
processes which most animals used for food
among us generally experience to fit them for
the table, so that our aversion to the entrails
of animals is not absolute, but only one of
degree.

The hippopotamus is a. favorite dish with
some Africans when they can get this un-
wieldy and formidable river monster, and
when young its flesh is good and palatable,
but with advancing years it becomes coarse
and unpleasant. The Abyssinians, the
amiable people to whom, according to the
Italian prime minister, his countrymen pro-
pose to teach wisdom and humanity, find the
rhinoceros to their taste; so they do the ele-
phant, which is also eaten in Sumatra.

Dr. Livingstone describes the elephant’s
foot as delicious, and his praises will be
echoed by many travelers in lands where that
sagacious monster still lingers in rapidly de-
creasing numbers. “We had the foot,” wrote
the great doctor, “cooked for breakfast next
morning and found it delicious. It is a
whitish mass, slightly gelatinous, and sweet
like marrow. A long march to prevent bil-
iousness is a wise precaution after a meal of
elephant’s foot. Elephant’s tongue and trunk
are also good, and after long simmering
much resemble the hump of a buffalo and
the tongue of an ox, but all the other meat
is tough, and from its peculiar flavor only to
be eaten by a hungry man.”—Cornhill Magar
zme.

When He Was a Clerk.

The Man About Town numbers among his
friends a gentleman now well up in the
world, but who a few years ago, when still a
youth, was employed as an under clerk in
the office of a. prosperous merchant. Among
his friends was a prominent church dignitary,
who was unacquainted with his whereabouts
and chanced one day to call upon his em-
ployer. Recognizing in the clerk an old ac-
quaintance, he gave him a most cordial
greeting. After his departure the merchant,
turning to the clerk, remarked: “It seems to
me that your social aspirations are alittle
lofty.”

The clerk rejoined: “And it seems to me
that my employer is impertinent." The
argument grew heated and ended in blows,
the merchant getting decidedly the wors. of
it. To render the matter worse, the stove
was overturned, setting fire to the store, and
the merchant called lustily for the police.

Badly frightened, and with visions of jails
and juries in his mind, the clerk fled breath—
less from the store and ran blindly away from
the.scene of the disturbance, pursued by the
guardians of the peace. Espying a hospital,
he turned in at the gate, and fell at the door
in a heap. One of the sisters came and had
him assisted to bed, where he lay for two

weeks, undergoing medical treatment and.

quaking inwardly for fear of detection. In
the meantime the newspapers discussed his
strange disappearance, and the police ran-
sacked the town for him in vain. He suc-

ceeded in deceiving the attendants, who i'e- '

garded his condition with alarm, but at the
end of two weeks they pronounced him suffi-
ciently recovered to leave the hospital. He
paid his bill, slipped quietly out of town, and
his old employer still wonders what manner
of fate befell him.—St. Louis Republic.

The Advantages of “Forty \Vinks.”
Sleep is closely connected with the question
of diet; “good sleeping” was n noticeable fea-
ture in the large majority of Dr. Humphrey’s
cases. Sound, refreshing sleep is of the ut-

most consequence to the health of the body,

and no substitute can be found for it as a re-
storer of vital energy. Sleeplessness is, haw-
ever, often aSOurce of great trouble toelderly
people, and one which is not easily relieved.
Narcotic remedies are generally mischievous;
their first effects may be pleasant, but the
habit of depending upon them rapidly grows
until they become indispensable. When this
stage has been reached the sufferer is in a far
worse plight than before. In all cases the
endeavor should be made todiscover whether
the sleeplessness be due to any removable
cause, such as indigestion, cold, want of exer-
cise, and the like. In regard to sleeping in
the daytime, there is something to be said
both for and against the practice. A nap of
“forty winks” in the afternoon enables many
aged people to get th'rough the rest of the day
in comfort. whereas they feel ' ed and weak
when deprived of this refreshm at. If they
rest well at night there can be no objection
to the afternoon nap, but if sleeplessness he
complained of, the latter should be discon-
tinued for a time. Most old people find that
a reclining posture, with the feet and legs
raised,i_s better'than the horizontal position

bent—Fortnightly Review.
