A PRAYER FOR REST.

Let me but live my life apart. I ask no more

From thee, 0 world! with thy upheaving breast

O‘erburdened with the woe that finds no rest

Among the wrecks that straw thy storm beat
shore.

Let me live my life apart—there is no gift,

However gracious, thou canst now bestow

Can take this crown of sorrow from my brew,

Or from my burdened soul its weight of sadness
lift.

Let me but live my life apart. I ask not friends

For friendship was a fatal gift to me;

A mirage vision hanging o‘er a sea

Of bitter, restless waters; its enchantmcnt lends

A charm to each delusive hour, and leads

Our trusting lives upon black, hidden rocks:

With cold neglect our desolation mocks

And laughs to scorn the ardent nature‘s longing
needs

Thy fame-a gaudy bubble that in bursting rends

The hands that strive to grasp its shape and hold

The hateful thing—for which they proudly sold

Love. happiness and peace and all that peaceward
tends;

A brazen voice that rings across our lonely ways

Low, sullen dirges—over shattered things,

These hopes destroyed, these hearts with broken
strings—

That taunts with recollections of life‘s happier
days

Let me but live my life apart. Thy choicest gifts

Elusive dreams that fade as dew from gross——

They mock our thirsty livesas on we pass;

Then disappear-as die the golden rifts

0f summer sunshine breaking through beclouded
skies—-

To fade away before our longing eyes can see

Their glowing gleams. Give not such gifts to me:

They glow and burn. but soon their splendor flies

Let me but live my life apart. ‘Tis best. And
when

The hour of death shall onward draw apace,

When with cold eyes you look upon my face

And weep no tears of gentle sorrow—ah! ’tis then

That I will crave these gifts. cold world, thou wilt
allot;

Fdd then my hands upon my pulseless breast:

Lay then my body down in peace to rest,

And let my name and somows be by thee forgot.
—Marguerite de Fleury in Chicago Times

The Mouse and the Soul.

Even more remarkable than the myths
about rats are some of the ancient legends
about mice. Readbrs of classical and medias-
val literature will remember scores of these,
including quite a number in which mice have
been mentioned, as typical of the soul. There
is the story of (the servant maid, who fell
asleep on the couch. While she was asleep a
red mouse ran out of her mouth, and she at
once went into a comatose condition. Her
fellow servants coming in supposed that she
was dead, and had the body removed to an-
other apartment to be prepared for burial.
Shortly afterward they were surprised to see
ared mouse enter the room where the girl
had been lying and run up and down as if in
search of something. Failing in its search,
the little animal disappeared, and the girl
never revived.

Another version of this mouse myth says
that when a man goes to sleep thirsty his
soul, in the form of a mouse, will leave his
body in search of a drink, and that the death
of the sleeper while the mouse is absent is a
very probable event. It is related that three
Bohemians while on a journey lost their way
in a dense forest. They were too thirsty to
sleep, so searched high and low for a spring.
At last one got excessively tired, lay down
and fell asleep. While the other two men
were searching they saw a white mouse rush
through a thicket to a concealed spring.
They followed the mouse, drank with it, and
then saw it return to the sleeper and enter
his open mouth. The men awoke the sleeper
and upbraided him for being so idle as to
send his soul to look for a drink instead of
making the search himself.-—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.

Flirtatlon in Battak Land.

The Battaks are a people of common origin
with the Malays and resembling them in
many respects, who live along the western
coast and in the interior of the island of Sn-
matra. The district chiefs form a confedera-
tion, the strongest one among them residing
near the Toba lake. They have enjoyed the
advantages of civilization, are good agricul.
turists, have an original system of writing,
and take care to have their children instruct-
ed in such arts and knowledge asthey ap-
preciate, and yet they eat enemies who are
taken armed and criminals of a certain class.
As sentimental people in western countries
practice in a “language of flowers,” so the
young people of either sex among the Bat-
taks correspond by means of a. language of
leaves. The leaves themselves have no sig-
nificance, but their names, modified perhaps
within the bounds of poetic license, indicate
or rhyme with the word which the corre-
spondent wishes to suggest—New York Star.

Low Death Rate in London.

It is quite remarkable how low the death
rate for London has been for April, May and
J une of this year. We find it was only 16 per
1,000 persons, 3.3 lower than the average for
the past ten years of the corresponding
months.

Considering that London is the largest city
in the world and contains between four and
five million persons, the inhabitants may con-
gratulate themselves on the great gain
brought about by sanitary science and per-
sonal hygiene. Two hundred years ago the
death rate in London was over 50 per thou~
sand annually.

Although London is a. much larger city
and has a. more unfavorable climate and sur-
roundings than New York, and there is more
poverty there, yet it is a healthier city, for
here the death rate is about 26 per 1,000 annu-
ally, but here sanitary science has only be-
gun to do its work—Herald of Health.

Fifty Thousan" Tons of Ice.

A suggestion of the l erality of American
railway companies for the comfort of passen-
gers may be found in the statement that for
a single station—that of Broad street, Phila-
delphia, on the Pennsylvania railroad—~‘ ‘Fifty
tons of ice are required daily to supply
cold water for travelers in the midsummer
days. During every twenty-four hours 210
trains are moved out of the depot, and in
each car there is a water cooler to be filled.”
To cover the ice bill for the other principal
stations on this and the rest of the great rail—
road lines of the country the above figures
must be multiplied by probably one thousand
at least. —Sanitary Era.

 

Sleeping with the Baby.

“Grindstone,” exclaimed Kiljordan, in a
tone of severe rebuke, as he leaned wearily
over the aisle of the car, “why don’t you get
up and give that lady a seat? I would do it
myself, only I’ve been doing the work of two
men at the office for a. whole wee ”

“My wife has been away from home for
two days,” answered Grindstone feebly, “and
I’ve been sleeping with the baby.”

“Madam,” called out Kiljordan, rising
briskly, “I’m not at all tired. You may have
my seat.”—Chicago Tribune.

NORWALK23AZEP'I‘E, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 2, 1865:.

How Cheap Gloves Are Made.

It may perhaps, interest readers to know
some of the secrets of cheap glove making.
My facts relate to Bohemia, from which coun-
try many cheap gloves are imported. Before
the introduction of the glove sewing machine,
which took place about 1870, a simple appara-
tus was in use consisting of two brass plates,
in which the stitches were incised, holding
tightly together the leather parts of the glove,
while the needle of the sewer followed easily
these incised stitches. It was an easy work,
not at all injurious to body or eye, and an in-
dustrious and quiet girl could, without any
exertion, sew two pairs of gloves 9. day, for
which she received from two and a half pence
to three pence each, equal to about five pence
to six pence a day. Very poor wages. But
the money was earned in a comfortable way.

Let us now compare what progress these
girls made in the golden era of machinery.
The poor sewers are never in a? position to
acquire the requisite sum to be owners of
these machines. The district to which I refer
is a poor, mountainous part, the men mostly
miners of an imperial silver mine with daily
wages of sixteen pence. The requisite ma-
chines are owned by middlemen, called facir
ors, to whom the glove manufacturers from
all parts of Austria send their unfinished
gloves for sewing. These factors are pro
prietors of a certain number of machines—
from twenty upward to a hundred—which
are fitted up in workrooms, most of them
very indifferently suited for the purpose.
The poor girls from the neighboring district
have often to walk a distance of eight miles
to find work in such workrooms. They leave
their miserable cottages at 4 a. m. to be
gin their day’s work at 0 a. m. > After a
hard labor of twelve hours on a most compli-
cated machine, and after having passed an-
other two hours on the way home, their
whole earnings consist of seven pence. In-
cluding the hours she loses on the road, she
works ninety-six hours a week for 3 shil-
lings 6 pence. her body continually bent over
a most complicated machine, her eyes watch—
ing leather, thread and needle incessantly,
her foot moving continually, amid the rattle
of many machines, in a most sickly atmos
phere. This is how cheap gloves are made.—
Pall Mall Gazette.

The Preacher Got Excited.

“Y es,” said an old sport in one of the pool
rooms yesterday, “there is a thrill about a
horse race you cannot get in any other way.
The thrill is intensified in proportion as your
money has gone up on the event. When
Smuggler beat Goldsmith Maid at Cleveland
back thirteen years ago the crowd almost de-
stroyed the grand stand. In illustration of
the excitement which reigned I recall the
actions of a preacher from Elkhart, who was
present with a friend. As the horses were
scoring the person’s friend, whose name was
Tracy, and who knew about as much of
horses as he did of the glacial period, re-
marked a belief that Smuggler might win
over the Maid. This was about as probable
to the experienced turfer as a republic in
Russia, and one of the fraternity overhear-
ing the remark overflowed in a proposition.

“ ‘I’ll bet you $100 to $20 he don’t,’ he said.

“The preacher was interested, but some-
what shocked, and silently protested by
pinching Tracy’s arm.

“The start was made and with the word
go the persistent sport renewed his offer, but
it didn’t take. With the horses on the back
stretch and bunched he came again, but
Tracy wasn’t game. As they turned into the
stretch the astute Doble, who was behind the
Maid, with the assistance of American Girl
had gotten the stallion in a pocket, but his
driver, taking all chances, pulled him com-
pletely up, and taking the center of the track
sent him for the wire like a ghost. No horse
for a furlong ever made such speed before or
since, and as Smuggler came to the front
with the rush of a storm he carried the spec-
tators from their mental feet. Every man
was up yelling, and the Elkhart preacher,
who must have had latent sporting blood in
his veins, forgetful of his pulpit and pasto-
rate, was fiourishing his cushion and shriek-
ing in reference to his proposition, ‘Bet him,
Tracy; thunder and clams, bet him. I’ll
split with you on it.’

“It was too late, though; so Tracy didn’t
bet.”——Kansas City Times.

Another Good Fish Story.

According to The Albany Journal an Al-
banian, noted for his love of sport no less than
for his veracity, tells the following story of a
day’s fishing: “I had had bad luck all day
and was about starting for home. I was a
little absentminded, thinking over the good
sport I usually had, and before I knew what
I was about I had cast oil? from both oars
that I had jabbed in the mud for stakes and
was drifting down Lake Tomoset with a pros-
pect of a five mile walk before me. I madea
cast with my line, in hopes to fasten on the
nearest car and recover it, but the hook fell
short by a yard. Imagine my surprise when
the biggest pickerel I ever saw snapped at my
book and took it. I was working him easy,
for I had only a cheap, stiff pole and was
mightily afraid I’d lose him, when down
camca huge fish hawk as big as an eagle and
grabbed my fish. I kept hold the pole though,
and when the bird got to the end of my line
as he was flying off with his prey he was
fetched up short. Then he put for the head
of the lake, still keeping the fish in his talons,
and pulling me and the boat after him. It
was a mean thing to do, perhaps, but when
he got me to shoal water I pulled out my pis-
tol and shot him. He fell plump into the
water, but he was only winged, and as I
didn’t care to have a fight with him he got
off in the rushes. And the fish, you ask! Oh.
he got away, too; the biggest one I ever saw.
I think he was two feet long.”

A Difference in Girls.

Florida girls are not like their Alabama
sisters, for the former abhor slang. But for
downright emphasis of expression and that
brevity which is the soul cf wit, they yield
the palm to no other state.

Several weeks ago a number of brave
young men and beautiful women from the
interior came in on an excursion. A small
knot of the visitors were walking leisurely
through the park when the following conver-
sation was overheard between two of the
visitors. It is reported verbatim, though it
is impossible to reproduce the drawling, earn-
est tone in which it was delivered.

“Sal,” asked one, displaying the folds of
her new dress and taking a sly hitch at her
bustle; “Sal, how do my dress fit?”

“Fingers and toes couldn’t better it.”

“Do John seem ter notice it!”

“Can’t keep his eyes oifen it.”

“Do my bustle shake about any?”

“Shakes just like jelly,” replied Sal, as they
proceeded on their way with an air of tri-
umph indescribable. — Birmingham (Ala.)

KING LUDWIG’S ROMANCE.

STRANGE STORY TOLD BY ONE OF
THE KING’S BODY GUARD.

He Says Ludwig Was Not Insane, Did
Not Do Any of the Foolish Things
Charged to Him, and, Instead of Sui-
ciding. Was Murdered.

The mysterious circumstances surrounding
the death of King Ludwig II of Bavaria
would be mysterious no longer if the story of
Mr. J Erlanger, of Forbes street, this city,
is accredited. This man was for nearly four
years King Ludwig’s private body guard.
He claims that during all that time he was
never over an hour away from the royal per-
sonage, and he asserts he can make an afli-
davit to all he says. Erlanger was born in
the Bavarian mountains. He entered the
Royal Life Guards as a private soldier, but
one day on a parade Ludwig II was attracted
by the handsome young soldier, and he sin-
gled him out from the regiment to attend
upon him at his castle near the Lake of Staru»
berg. Mr. Erlanger told the following story:

“First of all, let me tell you that Ludwig
II was not mad at all. He was as sane as ever
any man was. He was the soul of goodness.
It is true that he withdrew from the society
of the world and preferred to live by him-
self. But he did not do that because he hated
the world or. the people, but because he had
to hide himself to escape the dagger of some
mysterious assassin or the pistol of a hired
murderer.

rum CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.

“The cause of all this trouble can be traced
back to two points—he was an enemy of Bis-
marck, and he refused to marry a woman
who had been relegated to him by royal rela-
tives. He was in a. constant controversy
with the ministry of war in Berlin. Various
innovations were proposed by Bismarck to
be introduced in the Bavarian army, but
Ludwig II always refused to sanction them.
Politically he was always at variance with
Bismarck, and several of the pet schemes of
the Iron Chancellor had to be abandoned be-
cause King Ludwig refused to be a party to
them. For that reason several conspiracies
were formed to remove the king in some
way. .

“At first the machinery was set to work to
replace the trusty Bavarian servants sur-
rounding the king by Prussians. Then a
physician was obtained to examine the men-
tal condition of the king. Nobody had ever
before thought such a thing necessary, but
his enemies succeeded, and a doctor, I forget
his name, pronounced Ludwig H insane. The
next move was to have him placed in a
lunatic asylum. The plans had been well laid.
The carriage which was to carry him to the
doors of the asylum got within a gate of the
royal castle, when the plot was discovered
and the king refused to go out. I remember
the day well. Several of us were standing
around his majesty when the announcement
was made that the carriage was awaiting to
take him for a drive. But no sooner had the
door closed again than Baron von Zeckingen,
the king’s second physician, came in. He im-
plored Ludwig not to go out, and revealed
the whole plot. The king arose and quietly
walked over to one of us, saying: ‘Command
that carriage to be taken away again, I do
not care to drive today.’

“That settled it. The evil had been avert-
ed that time, but his enemies were not to be
daunted by one failure. Baron von Kudder,
a Prussian, was next placed in the palace, and
soon gained the confidence of the king. The
meshes were silently but cunningly woven
by this man, whom I know to have been in
the pay of Prussia. How he succeeded the
world knows, but nobodyThought the wily
baron meant to drown the king. However,
the facts are these:

“On the morning of the fatal day on which
the body of our beloved king was drawn
from the lake, Baron Kudder gave this order
to the guards: ‘Unless the king makes a spe-
cial request for your attendance, let him
go unaccompanied on his walk through the
grounds.’

“Of course we obeyed. The king went out
never to return alive. I was at the lake
when they dragged his body from the water.
The king’s hand had a strong hold of Dr.
Kudder’s throat. In addition to that the
lapel of the doctor’s coat was torn off and his
face was scratched in several places. All this
pointed to the fact that a severe struggle
had taken place. You must remember that
the king was a very strong man. He meas—
ured six feet and four inches and weighed
275 pounds. No sooner had we seen this sight
than we knew that there had not been a sui-
cide or an accidental death, but a foul assas-
sination.

“The only redeeming feature in the whole
affair was that the murderer had died with
his victim. Preparations were at once made
to have the whole thing kept secret. The at
tendants were immediately discharged. A
few days after the catastrophe a number of
us were sitting in a beer garden, when one of
our number openly stated that the king had
been assassinated. A few minutes later he
was arrested and has never been heard of
since. This was a warning to the rest, and
we escaped. I left the country without a
passport. We had at first intended to make
the whole thing public, but, knowing that
we would all be imprisoned without gaining
our point, we abandoned that plan. ”

“But you have not explained to me why
the king so strenuously refused to marry?”

“Simply for this reason: The king was in
love with a miller’s beautiful daughter, and
he would not give her up to please even his
mother. His family wanted him to marry
the Princess von Darxes, a lady of the royal
house of Bavaria, but he did not want her,
and that settled it.”

1118 LOVE STORY.

“Do you know anything about his rela-
tionship with the miller’s daughter?”

“I know all about it. Often have I gone
to her house with baskets of flowers, wine,
fruit and other delicacies for the young lady.
She was the most beautiful girl I ever saw.
The king became acquainted with herwhile
hunting in the Bavarian Alps. Her father
had a windmill on the top of a hill, about
five miles from the Stamberg castle. He was
lame and walked with a crutch, so we called
him the ‘Crooked Miller.’ The young lady
was born May 24, 1864. She was tall and
dark, with deep, dreamy, black eyes. She
had a remarkable gift for writing poetry,
and I had a whole volume of verses written
by her. The king was passionately fond of
her, and had it not been for the fact that he
would have angered all the crowned heads of
Europe he would have married. Her first
name was Ellapenia. I do not remember her
other name, because we always called her
Fraulein Ellapenia.

“All the stories that have been told about
King Ludwig’s eccentricities are false. He
never ordered the Royal Opera com any of
Munich to play before him alone. 9 never
ordered them to come to his castle in the
middle of the night, and he never asked them
to act before him in a state of nudity.

“I also think that the report of his extrav-
agant habits is unfounded, because when he
died he was rich. ‘

“There are many thin 3 connected with
the life of the dead king t at I might tell
but it is useless. You may rest assured o

the facts, however, that King Ludwig II of
Bavaria was never mad and never drowned
himself, but was killed by the man who died

 

with him.”—Pittsburg D tch.

 

Historical Puns.

The Roman bishop’s famous compliment to
the handsome Anglo-Saxon captives, “Not
Angles, but angels,” had greater results than
its actual brilliancy might seem to merit;
and St. Leo doubtless had no idea when he
prayed to heaven to aid Rome against the
invading Huns, “and hurl back these Tartars
into the fires of Tartarus,” that this punning
prayer was to fix upon the unlucky “Tartars”
(as they were then called) a nickname that
would never die.

Such puns have more than once playeda
formidable part in history. France expiated
by the devastation of an entire province a
coarse and clumsy play upon “corpse” and
“corpulence” made by the French king in
derision of his terrible neighbor, William the
Conqueror. Charles V’s jesting assertion
that he could Paris in his glove (gant),
though meant only to indicate the superior
size of Ghent to the Paris of that day, stung
Francis I into the renewal of a languishing
war. One of Louis XV’s upstart favorites
was driven from the court by the biting pun
that turned his new title of Marquis de Van.
diere into “Marquis d’Avant—hier” (the day
before yesterday).

The epigrammatic brevity of Sir Francis
Drake’s celebrated but probably mythical
dispatch announcing the rout of the Ar-
mada—which consisted of the single word,
“Cantharides,” i. e., the Spanish fly—has
been twice paralleled in our own age. Sir
Charles Napier and Lord Dalhousie respect-
ively announced the annexation of Scinde
and that of Oude in one word apiece,
“Pecoavi.” I have sinned (Scinde), and
“Vovi,” I have vowed (Oude). Equally his-

7torical is the bitter pun that changed the

name of the sluggish Admiral Torrington to
"Admiral Tarry-in-town.”

Napoleon (who was no man for light jest-
ing) is credited with only a single pun, and
that a rather poor one. During his great
Italian campaign of 1796—7 he replied to a
lady, who wondered to find such a famous
man so young, “I am young today, but to-
morrow I shall have Milan” (i. e. “mille ans,”
a thousand years). A much better joke was
that made on the great conqueror himself by
an Italian countess, who, hearing him say,
“All Italians are traitors,” replied, pointedly,
“Not all of them, but a good part” (Buo-na-
parte). Equally neat, and even more grimly
significant, was Bismarck’s answer to a per-
son who was speculating how much the im-
pending wer of 1870 would cost France. “Not
much,” said the Iron Count; “only two Na-
poleonsl”—David Ker in Harper’s Magazine.

 

Why the Leaves Turn.

“Probably not one person in a thousand
knows why leaveschange their color in the
fall,” remarked an eminent botanist the other
day. “The common and old fashioned idea
is that all this red and golden glory we see
now is caused by frosts. A true and scien-
tific explanation of the causes of the coloring
of leaves would necessitate a long and intri-
cate discussion. Stated briefly and in proper
language, those causes are these: The green
matter in the tissue of a leaf is composed of
two colors, red and blue. ‘When the sap
ceases to flow in the fall, and the natural
growth of the tree ceases, oxidation of the
tissue takes place. Under certain conditions
the green of the leaf changes to red; under
different conditions it takes on a yellow or
brown tint. This difference in color is due to
the difference in combination of the original
constituents of the green tissue, and to the
varying conditions of climate, exposure and
soil. A dry, cold climate produces more
brilliant foliage than one that is damp and
warm. This is the reason that our American
autumns are so much more gorgeous than
those of England. There are several things
about leaves that even science cannot explain.
For instance, why one of two trees growing
side by side, of the same age and having the
same exposure, should take on a brilliant red
in the fall and the other should turn yellow; or
why one branch of a tree should be highly
colored and the rest of the tree have only a
yellow tint, are questions that are as im-
possible to answer as why' one member of a
family should be perfectly healthy and an-
other sickly. Maples and oaks have the
brightest colors—Field and Forest.

His Wife Not Satisfied.

President Lincoln had been during our
most stormy weather to visit the camps of
the generals in Virginia, and taken a violent
cold. Mrs. Lincoln was in despair, and one
day said to Secretary Stanton: “1 do wish
you would lock Mr. Lincoln out of the rooms
for a weekl He is ill enough to be inbed
now, and suffers agonies with his arms from
acute rheumatism. I don’t know what to
do. He goes out, and keeps at work every
moment.”

Mr. Lincoln waved his long arm at the
secretary, saying, “Well, Stanton, there
ought to be one comfort for my poor wife,
anyhow—the same that the poor man J effer-
son had, whose only son died. Did you ever
hear the story?

“His friends, family, neighbors, and church
lamented, extolled and grieved over the loss,
at the funeral, when Jefferson himself arose
and said, ‘My dear friends: lVe have the
blessed consolation of knowing that every-
thing was done that could be done. He was
bled no less than twenty-four times in twenty-
four hours! But he had no strength and had
to die.’

“Now, I’ve been wrapped in no less than
twenty—four pieces of red flannel and lini-
ment since yesterday, and still my wife isn’t
satisfied.”—Wide Awake.
