PlCKlNG APPLES.

Apples to pick! Apples to pick!

Come with a basket and come with a. stick.
Rustle the trees and shake them down,
And let every boy take care of his crown.

Thump! plump! down they come raining!
Shake awayl shake till not one is remaining.
Hopping off here and popping oif there.
Apples and apples are everywhere

 

Golden russets with sunburnt cheek,

Fat, ruddy Baldwins, juicy and sleek;
Pippins, not much when they meet your eyes,
But wait till you see them in tarts and pies!

Beautiful Bellefleurs, yellow as gold,

Think not we‘re leaving you out in the cold:
And dear fat Greenings, so prime to bake,
I’ll eat one of you now for true love‘s sake.

It‘s plenty of work and plenty of play.

And plenty of apples the livelong day.

Oh, the time and the place for boys, I maintain,

Is the month of October. the good state of Maine.
—Youth‘s Companion.

A PRESENTIMENT.

Some one was playing soft, grave music in
the silence of the great vaulted chamber—a
chamber with deep, wide windows looking on
tothe Bospiglion gardens of Rome.

A beautiful chamber, the studio of a woman
artist, whose name was well known to the
world of art. It was sighted by shaded
lamps, and out of shadowy corners gleamed
rich, artistic draperies and stands of palms
and flowers and odd, quaint cabinets laden
with china and bronze and bric-a-brac.

A group of people were seated near the
open fireplace; there was a fragrance of tea
and delicate comestibles, and now and then
the chink of cups and spoons and soft hum of
voices. It was the day on which Mme. Mon-
criefl’e received, the one day of the week on
which her friends and admirers were privil-
edged to intrude on her solitude; for, as a
rule, she lived a very solitary life, and never
had been known to accept any of the invita-
tions showered upon her by the English and
foreign society who wintered at Rome.

She sat now on alow chair by the fire. A
woman no longer young, and with a face
whose pale and chiseled beauty was marred
by an expression of intense sadness—the face
of;a woman for whom life had held tragedy
of no common kind. Her eyes were gazing
dreamily into the clear, bright flames; her
hand, hanging loosely by her side, was
clasped in that of a young and very lovely
girl, who was kneeling on the soft rug at her
feet.

Music has many advantages. In society it
readily lends itself to use as well as enter-
tainment—it is an incentive to confidence and
conversation. The voices rose and fell in
rhythmical cadence, subdued in deference to
an occasional chord; but her companion, as
if emboldened by the murmurs around, nestled
closer and whispered an entreaty.

“I have come today,” she said, “just to
plead my cause once more. Do say you will
come. It will be the one thing necessary to
complete my happiness. Surely you won’t
refuse that.”

The woman started, as if aroused from
some deep train of thought. Her eyes turned
to the young, eager face, and something ten-
der and compassionate came into their gaze.

“Dear Estelle,” she said, “I love you too
well to refuse any request that might tend to
your happiness. I would do more for you
than any one I know here in Rome, but I
cannot be present at your bridal to—morrow.
Do not ask it, for I hate to refuse you any-
thing.”

“But I do ask it, dear Mme. Moncriefle,”
pleaded the spoiled beauty, the belle and
heirem of the winter city. “You know I al-
ways get what I want. and I want you—to-
morrow.”

“My dear," said the artist sadly,“if I could
break my rule for any one I would do it for
you; but I cannot. Nothing could induce
me to attend a marriage ceremony—even
yours."

“You always say that, I know. But why?
Is there anything you fear? Or is it that
such a. ceremony recalls”—

, “ch,” the woman interrupted; “it recalls
i -—it awakens—it is full of pain and horror to
me. Estelle, 1 should be only a shadow to
the sunshine of your bridal. Do not press
the matter further.”

v The girl was silent. She knelt there in the
' firefight a picture of bright and beautiful
' youth, to whom the future only showed itself
1 in the golden light of hope. Softly the mu-
ll: sic rose and fell. It had changed now to a
3' plaintive, minor melody. The woman shiv-
§= cred as the mournful notes echoed through
‘ the vast chamber.

E “It was just such a scene as this," she said,
is suddenly, “the eve of another Wedding day,
§ and the music—oh, heavens! Why does he
play that? Why does he play that?”

.1 “Shall I stop him?" cried the girl, terrified
by the agony of the face bent suddenly low
in the light of the leaping flames.

. She half rose to her feet, but a gesture
if from that slender, trembling hand stayed her
‘ impulse. and she resumed her former atti-
ude.

, “Did I frighten you, Estelle! I am weaker
,‘, than I thought. No, don’t move, child; stay
i; there, and while the music lasts I will try to
speak, to tell you the reason of a refusal that
. seems so ungracious a thing. ltis no caprice,
’g' Estelle, for I love you as if you were my own
child, and I have prayed for your happiness
ever since I knew that Prince Giovoli had
3 won your heart.

l “You wish to know why I cannot be a
guest at your wedding? Shall I tell you my
of story, Estelle, or will it frighten you? We
; live in an age of realism—of incredulity.
, No one believes now in dreams or signs, or
' presentiments, and yet I know the truth of
each and all of these so well that I am an old
woman before my time, and I shall carry a
broken heart with me to my grave for the
sake of one.”

The girl trembled and drew closer. “1 al-
ways knew,” she said, “that you had suffered:
-, that some great trouble”—

“You shall bear it if you Will,” said the
woman, in a strange, dull voice. She bent
her head. The girl‘s blue eyes noted won-
ideringly the mingled gray and gold of the
' soft, thick hair, the haggard lines about the
l beautiful pale lips.

. “It is years ago,” She said, quietly, “and
; uch a girl as you are now welcomed even as
{you‘welcome the eve of her bridal day. Not
‘1 .- cloud, not a shadow, not a foreboding!
, " ith the memory of her lover’s kiss she fell
., ; loop that night; but in that sleep there
'j' haped itself a dream—a dream—strange-
rrible—ominous. She saw herself standing
h an old churchyard—a dreary, half ruined
s .lace, melancholy with cypress and yews;
nd old and forgotten graves, moss grown
, ud neglected. As she stood, something im-
riled her to look more closely at the head-
, tone of one by which she stood.
‘ "On it a name was given and a date. The

. 0 day. It turned her cold and faint, even
... d her bridegroom's passionate murmurs.
e, keen sighted, with a husband’s new born
_hts, demanded to know the cause of her
'5 or and her terrified looks. In despair she
.ld him, only naming herself as the subject
this hateful presentiment. He laughed at
r fears, and ere a week had passed she had

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

almost forgotten them amid the joys and the
tenderness showered upon her life. They
wandered from place to place in sunny Italy.
in the loveliest nooks and in the loveliest sea-
son of the year. They took no count of
time. Strong in health, rich in love and
beauty and worldly goods, life was like
a happy dream that lulled them to deep-
est rest. One day they had halted at a
little out of the way village among the moun-
tains. It was close on sunset, and they wan-
dered off, as their habit often was, to explore
the neighborhood or sketch some of its pict-
uresque nooks. Suddenly the girl’s heart
seemed to stand still-a cold and deadly hor»
ror chained her senses. Without heed— with-
out even remarking where their footsteps
tended, they stood in an old, half ruined
graveyard—the scene of her dream. Shud-
dering and pale, she strove to draw her hus-
band away. Her pallor and alarm aroused
his suspicions. He glanced around and he,
too, remembered the dream. There was no
mistaking the spot. Her description has been
accurate in every detail. However, he made
light of her fears; he strove to reassure her
They left the spot and returned to the inn.

 

Only then did he remember the date of the .

day It was exactly three weeks since their
marriage."

The voice of the speaker faltered. The
girl, pale and awestruck, looked up at the
sad eyes and trembling lips Soft and weird

the music rose and fell across the ripple of .

light words, the chime of distant laughter.

“Oh," cried the girl, suddenly. “it is of
yourself you speak. This—this is your rea-
son."

“Yes,” said the woman slowly. "This is
my reason. That night my husband was at-
tacked by cholera. Two hours afterward, he
died. "

There were tears in the young, bright eyes
—eyss to which sorrow was as yet unknown.

“My poor friend," she cried, softly “Oh.
my poor friend. It is terrible.”
“Wait,” said the woman, harshly. “You

have not heard all. Learn how more than
cruel fate can be to those who defy it. You
know how great the dread is of that terrible
scourge. How quickly the pageant of death
is played out to its final issue. Before I had
even realized my loss, before my stricken
heart had recovered from its first stroke of
agony,l heard that my darling had been
taken from me—buried—buried—Estelle, in
that very churchyard my dream had shown
to me. Then a great stupor and horror fell
over me. I was like one dazed and stunned.
I felt nothing—realized nothing but my own
great loss. I prayed only that death might
seize me and bring me to his side in spirit,
since it had so cruelly divorced us. It was
my first grief. No doubt I was impious-
mad. They said I was—the priest, whose
empty words and hollow services brought no
peace to my wrecked soul; the soft voiced sis-
terhood, who came as nurses and friends to
my side in those dark heurs. Mad! Well,
if so, I had to suffer yet more terribly for
my rebellion. My story is not yet ended,
Estelle. It may have been many days or few
I do not know.

“I had no count of time, when once again
the force and reality of a dream held my
senses in thrall. [saw my darling imprisoned,
as it were, by some obstacle, calling me, en-
treating me, beswching for some aid that 1
could not give, and dared not. Trembling
and sick. I awoke.

“Then—oh! how can I speak of it? How
describe that hateful, unresisting certainty
which gradually took possession of me, which
night and day had tried me with a persistence
that would not be gainsaidl Weak woman
as I was—stranger in a strange place—l yet,
by power of woman’s wit and woman’s per-
sistence, gained my end. I had the grave in
the dismal churchyard opened. I stood, a
woman, alone and helpless, amid a shudder-
ing, superstitious crowd, while the cruel earth
gave back its dead. Its dead, said 1. Ah,
dear heaven! it was no dead they had im-
prisoned there; no dead whose helplessness
the ghastly tomb had mocked. They had
buried him alive. Estelle—alive! He had
turned in that fearful coffin; his eyes were
gazing at me wide open, reproachful, despair-
ing”____

The girl shuddered. A low cry broke from
her pale lips.

“Don’t tell me any more,” she whispered.
“Oh, it is horrible—horrible!”

“I have had to live out my life remember-
ing it,” came the despairing answer, “lived to
think he had called, prayed, entreated for me
in that awful place. I who loved him soand
only knew—too late—I might have saved
himl"

Softly, hurriedly, the closing harmonics
of the tragic music closed in that tragic
tale.

Voices and laughter rang out once more
from scattered groups. One or two ap
preached the figures by the fire. A man,
young, tall, of courtly bearing and hand-
some face. bent down to the kneeling girl.

"Have you persuaded madame, Estelle!”

'he asked gently.

She rose. There was a shadow on the
brightness and beauty of her face.

“No,” she said, “her reasons are too good.
Do not trouble her, Paolo. I am content.”

The woman looked up at the two young,
happy faces.

“Some day,” she said sadly, “some day,
prince, you will know my presence is a thing
of ill omen. I can be no one’s wedding guest
since I have learned-the worth of a present-
iment.”—St. Paul Globe.

The Spanish Language.

The Spanish woman is romantic in the
broadest sense of the expression. From the
cradle to the grave her life is one of romantic
intrigues. It must be so or she is intensely
miserable. She lives her inner life in a mad,
passionate way that would utterly eclipse a
heroine of Mrs. Amelia Pdves-Chanler. The
Spanish language is admirably adapted to the
Spanish people. It is a language of music
and sentiment. Any one who has ever heard
Spanish spoken as it should be, with grace and
elegance, cannot fail to have been charmed
with the rich contralto sound of the Spanish
voice and the sonorous vowels, pronounced
strong and clear, with which the Spanish
language abounds Charles V was not far
wrong when he said that the Spanish was the
language with which to talk to the gods. It
has a grandeur and dignity of expression un-
equaled by any modern tongue, and at the
same time it can sound a note from the heart
strings as soft and tender as a summer breeze,
and as fine and strong as a platinum wire.
Many of the ladies in Mexico are learning
English, in view of the closer relations be-
tween tho two republics, and their thick lisp-
ing of the English vowels gives the language
a sonorous burr rather pleasing than other-
wise—Cor. Kansas City times.

 

Canned Codfish Balls. .

A very promising industry is growing up
at New York in the canning of codfish balls.
The persons engaged in it experimented for
several years before they were able to put up
the combination of fish and potatoes so that it
would preserve its freshness and flavor, but
perseverance conquered, and the product has
met a good demand. The fish are carefully
prepared for the canning, and butter is used

instead of pork fat in making the mixture:-

Codfish balls have been held to bedistinct-

ively a New England dish, but thesecanned

ones are shipped to all parts of the United
States, and orders have been received from
abroad—Good Housekeeping. "

 

 

4_‘—a

MAN’S POOR RELATIONS.

THE FROG AND THE MONKEY
OUGHT TO BE SO REGARDED.

 

’ The \Vonderfnl Likeness Between the Ba-

trachian and the Human Being—The
VApe Morauy and Mentally Considered.

The Professor’s Views.

“The most interesting thing about a frog,”
said the professor of anatomy, “is its extraor-
dinary structural resemblance to the human
being. If you had an opportunity of com-
paring the two by dissection, you would not
be astonished at the notion which many phys-
iologists have expressed, that man and the
batrachian were actually cousins, derived
from the same original ancestry. Incidental-
ly, you would observe that Mr. Frog is very
high up in the scale of development that runs
from the bivalvular oyster to the genus homo.
You would find that the arrangement and
formation of his bones and muscles are pretty
much the same as in man.

THE THUMB.

"There is one physical characteristic, how-
ever, which alone entitles the frog to an ele—
vated status in creation; he has a thumb.
For it is not to the possession of a thumb that
man owes his elevation above the brute!
With no more thumb than a monkey, he
would never have been able. to make any-
thing—or, in other words, to construct any
product representing an idea—and he would
have remained, to all intents and purposes, a.
beast. Apropos of the subject we are talking
about, I take it that no reasonable person,
devoid of prejudices, can look upon the mere
skeletons .of a man andachimpanzee, side by
side, without having forced upon him the
conviction that such a likeness of structure
could only be accounted for by unity of
derivation.”

“Which, then, do you claim that your
greatest grandfather was, a monkey or a
frog?”

“Young man, that is a foolish question,
implying strange ignorance. Mr. Darwin
did not teach, as is vulgarly supposed, that
the human kind is descended from the ape:
his theory, which is still held by nearly all
scientific men, was that ape and man came
from the same primary ancestral source.
How else, pray, are you going to account for
the similarity in almost every detail of their
makeup?”

“And the frog?”

“The frog I recognize as a cousin, too. He
is a very agreeable relative — especially
broiled. It is not because we have an amphi-
bious greatest grandfather in common, how-
ever, that I respect him most; but for the
reason that he has contributed so largely to
scientific research. In fact, the likeness he
bears to the human species has been a great
misfortune to him. On account of it, the
experimenter in physiology is continually
trying to find out what he can do without
his brain, or his legs, or his insides. The
demonstrator of anatomy cuts him up to
show the beautiful structure of his muscles,
or the circulation of his blood, while the ex-
pert in toxicology tries the effects of all sorts
of poisons upon him, and, when he has finally
succumbed and given up the ghost, the elec-
trician applies the galvanic battery to his
stiffening limbs, to make him do a corpse
dance. You remember, I dare say, that
Galvani OWed his wonderful discovery to a
frog, whose skinned hind legs, prepared for
soup, lay beside an electrical machine at
which the inventor was working. By acci-
dent, he touched the legs with the end of a
wire along which a powerful current was
passing, and they immediately became franti-
cally convulsed. Hence the development of
galvanism.”

“Can a frog get along at all, then, without
his brain?”

AN AUTOMATIC EXISTENCE.

“Exceedingly well. I saw a frog the other
day that seemed to be in most excellent phys-
ical condition, though its cerebral lobes had
been in alcohol for six months. It hadaflrst-
rate appetite, swallowing minnows that
were given it with the utmost readiness, and,
although it rarely moved, for the obvious
reason that it was not in a condition to think
about moving preliminarily, it could not very
well have any mental anxieties, and appeared
likely to preserve a sort of automatic exist-
ence for an indefinite period.”

“The frog is a cold blooded animal, is he
not?”

“Yes; but on the other hand he is exceed-
ingly aflectionate, and his heart is agitated
by such strong emotions that it continues to
beat for seven or eight minutes after it has
been detached from his body.”

“Is the frog very intelligent?”

“It is difficult to say; if you watch him
you can never tell what he is looking at,
though he always appears to be engaged in
the deepest thought. My opinion is, how-
ever, that his thoughts are chiefly confined to
dress. He is very extravagant about his
clothes; every week or two in summer he has
a new suit—kicks of! his old garments like
the clown in the pantomime—and appears in
a fresh costume, with green coat and white
Waistcoat, Spick and span.

“Then, for economy’s sake, he proceeds to
eat up his rejected habiliments. There are
no second hand clothing dealers among the
batrachians. Mr. Frog’s skin is covered with
water proof varnish, which exudes from the
pores, and the spots on his back serve to
mark the flight of time, increasing. in num-
ber with the years of his existence. He has a
great many enemies, besides man, which is
fortunate, since otherwise he would soon
overrun the earth. In old times there used
to be plagues of frogs now and then, you
know, so that whole tribes of people would
be driven to migrate."

“I presume that you scarcely regard the
frog as so near a relative as the monkey in
figuring up your family tree.” suggested the
newspaper man. .

“By no means,” replied the professor.
“You see, the ape bears not merely a physical
resemblance to the human type, but a very
close mental and even moral likeness. Pro-
fessor Agassiz found a complete resemblance
between the mental faculties of an infant and
those of a young chimpanzee. It is only
through the subsequent development of the
child, he declared, that it becomes human in
the true signification of the term. Man has
been called the tool using animal; but monk-
eys crack nuts by hammering them with
stones, and the employment of clubs and pro-
jectiles for Weapons in battle is familiar to
all the higher quadrumana.

“All monkeys, except the orang outang,
can talk after a fashion, and both laugh and
weep. Apes often keep up fires that have
been deserted by travelers. Gorillas live in
patriarchal communities and hold periodical
reunions. Altogether, a comparison of the
psychic conditions and social instincts of the
lower savages and the higher monkeys ex-
hibits no essential points of difference. So in
future let us not fall back upon social dis-
tinctions, but charitably recognize the ape
and the frog as our poor relations, who have
not been so fortunate about getting up in the
scale of development as oumelves.”—Wash.
