'PHANTOM ARMIES.
The heavens weep. the nation‘s dead
Sleep silent ’neath the springy sod;

But in our hearts their cadenced tread
Sounds marching on to God

The bugles, fife and rolling drum
Arc idle as the sleepers’ hands;
But on the spirits‘ stage and dumb

A mighty army stands.

Again the hand that swayed the sword,
Clutch firm its handle as of yore,
And dcar dead eyes so long adored
Take light and life once more.
Flash lightning in the battles brunt,
Flirror the rays from Heaven that fell,
And pressing boldly to the front
Court Death from Shot and shell.

The valorous eyes from Death set free
Again seem vict'ry to proclaim,

Then sinking down, grim Death, to thee,
Go silent as they came.

A mighty army—in the brain
Of each who knew and loved them here;

Unchanged by Time and free from strain
The legions grand appear.

Deathlcss. for death's relentless laws
The mcumry never can attain,
And those who died in honor‘s cause
Shall live their lives again.
In many a. mind, in many a clinic,
lly grands-ire unto grandson told,
Their LE. ls shall tread the halls of time
In sandal—short) of gold.
——X‘-ufl‘alo News.

THE OUTLANDISH LADIES

A mile beyond the fishing village, as you
follow the road that climbs inland up the
coomb, the two tall hills to right and left
di'Vergc to make room for a third, set like
awedge in the throat of the vale. Here
the road branches into two, with a. sign
post at the angle; and between the sign
post and the gray scarp of the hill there
lies an acre of waste ground that the
streams have turned into a marsh. This
is Loose heels. Long before I learned the
name’s meaning, in the days when I trod
the lower road with slate and satchel to
and from the village school, this spot was
a. favorite of mine—but chiefly in July,
when the monkey flower was out and the
marsh aflaine with it.

There was a spell in that yellow blossom
with the wicked blood red spots that held
me its mere slave. Also the finest grew in
desperate places. So that, day after day,
when July came round, my mother would
cry shame on my small clothes, and my
father take exercise upon them, and all
the month I went tingling. They were
pledged to “break me of it;” but they
never did. Now they are dead, and the
flowers—the flowers last always, as Victor
Hugo says. \Vhen after many years I re-
visited the valley, the stream had carried
the seeds half a mile below Loose heels,
and painted its banks with monkey blos-
soms all the way. But the finest, I was
glad to see, still inhabited the marsh.

Now it is rare to find this plant growing
wild, for in fact it is a garden flower.
And its history here is connected with a
bit of mud wall, ruined. and covered with
mosses and ragwort, that still pushed up
from the swamp ground when I knew it,
and had once been part of a cottage. How
a cottage came here, and how its inhabi-
tants entered and went out, are questions
past guessing; for the marsh hemmed it in
on three sides, and the fourth is slope of
hill fit to break your back. But there was
the wall, and here is the story.

One morning, near the close of the last
century, a small child came running down
to the village with news that the cottage,
which for ten years had stood empty, \ 'I
let; there was smoke coming out at the
chimney and an outlandish lady walking
in the garden. Being catechised he added
that the lady wore bassomy bows in her
cap, and had accosted him in a heathen
tongue that caused him to flee inconti—
nently, fearing worse things. This being
told, two women, rulers of their homes,
sent their husbands up the valley to spy,
who found the boy had spoken truth.

Smoke was curling from the chimney
and in the garden the lady was still mov-
ing about—a small, yellow creature, with
awrinkled but pleasant face, white curls
and piercing black eyes. She wore a black
gown, cut low in the neck, a white ker-
chief, and bassomy (or purplish) bows in
liter cap, as the child had stated. Just at
present she was busy with a spade, and
showed an ankle passing neat for her age
as she turned up the neglected mold.
\Vhen the men plucked up gallantry
enough to offer their services she smiled
and thanked them in broken English, but
said that her small forces would serve.

So they went back to their wives; and
their wives, recollecting that the cottage
formed part of the globe, went off to in-
quire of Parson Morth, “than whom,” as
the tablet to his memory relates, “none
was better to castigate the manners of the
age.” He was a burly, hard riding ruffian,
and the tale of his great fight with Gypsy
Ben in Launccston streets is yet told on the
country side.

Parson Morth wanted to know if he
couldn’t let his cottage to an invalid lady
and her sister without consulting every
waslimouth in the parish.

“Aw, so there’s two!” said one of them,
nodding her head. “But tell us, parson
dear, cf ’tes fitty for two unmatcd women
to come trapesing down in a po’shay at
dead 0’ night, when all modest flesh be in
their bed gowns.”

Upon this the person’s language became
not merely violent, but grossly indelicate,
after the fashion of those days. He closed
his peroration by slamming the front door
on his visitors, and they went down the
hill “blushing (as they said) all over at his
intimate words.”

So nothing more was known of the
strangers. But it was noticed that Parson
Morth, when he passed the cottage on his~
way to meet or market, would pull up his
mare, and if the outlandish lady were
working in the garden would doff his hat
respectfully.

“Bon jour, Mamzclle Henriette”—this
was all the French the parson know. And
the lady would smile back and answer in
English:

“Good morning, Parson Morth.”

“And Mamzelle Lucille?”

“All. just the same, my God! All the (lay
stare—stare. If you had known her before
—so beautiful, so gifted, Si bicn clcvccl It
is an affliction, but Ithink she loves the
flowc.:<." ‘

And the parson rode on with a lump in
his timbiii.

So Izvo years passed, during which
Mademoiselle Henriette tilled her garden
and turned it into a paradise. There were
white roses on the south wall, and in the
beds 2: guonctte and boy’s love, pansics,
carnations, gilly flowers, sweet Williams,
and flaming great hollyhocks; above all,
the monkey blossoms that throve so well
in the marshy soil. And all that while no
one had caught so much as a glimpse of
her Sister ucillc. Also how they lived
was a marvel. The outlandish lady bought
"neither fish, nor butcher’s meat, nor bread.
To be sure, the pat-son sent down a pint of

ilk every morning from his dairy; the
can was left at the garden gate and fetched

 

 

 

 

I at noon, when it was always found neatly

scrubbed, with the price of the milk in-
side. Besides, there was a. plenty of vege-
tablesin the garden.

But this was not enough to avert the
whisper of witchcraft. And one day,
when Parson Morth had ridden off to the
wrestling matches at Exeter, the blow fell.

Farmer Anthony of Carne— eat-grand-
father of the present farmeI had been
losing sheep. Now not a. man in the neigh-
borhood would own to having stolen them,
so what so. easy to suspect as witchcraft?
Who so fatally open to suspicion as the
two outlandish sisters? Men, wives and
children formed a procession.

The month Was July; and Mlle. Henriette
was out in the garden, a. bunch of monkey
flowers in her hand, ~when they arrived.
She turned all white and began to tremble
like a leaf. But when the spokesman stated
the charge there was another tale.

“It was an infamy. Steal? She would
have them know that she and her sister
were of good West Indian family—tres
bicn clevccs.” Then followed a torrent of
epithets. Theywere laches—poltrons. Why
were they not fighting Bonaparte instead
of sending their wives up to the cliffs
dressed in red cloaks to scare him away,
while they bullied weak women?

They pushed past. her. The cottage
held two rooms on the ground floor. In
the kitchen, which they searched first, they
found only some garden stuff and a few
snails salted in a pan. There was a door

leading to the inner room, and the fore-
most had his hand on it when Mlle. Hen-
riette rushed before him and flung himself
at his feet. The yellow monkey blossoms
Were scattered and trampled on the floor.

“Ah—non, non, messieursl J c vous prie!
Elle est si—si horrible!”

They flung her down and pushed on.

The invalid sister lay in an arm chair
with her back to the doorway, a bunch of
monkey flowers beside her. As they burst
in she started, laid both bands on the arms
of her chair and turned her face slowly
upon them.

She was a leper.

They gave one look at the featureless
face, with the White scales shining upon it,
and ran back with their arms lifted before
their eyes. One woman screamed. Then
a dead stillness fell on the place and the
cottage was empty.

On the following Saturday Parson Morth
walked down to the inn, just ten minutes
after stalling his mare. He strode into the
tap room in his muddy boots, took two
,men by the neck, knocked their skulls to-
gether, and then demanded to hear the
truth.

“Very well,” he said, on hearing the
tale; “to-morrow I march every man Jack
of you up to the valley, if it’s by the scruff
of your necks, and in the presence of both
of those ladies—of both, mark you—you
shall kneel down and ask them to come to
church. I don’t care if I empty the build-
ing. Your fathers (who were men, not
curs) built the south transept for those
same poor souls, and cut a slice in the
chancel arch through which they might
see the host lifted. That’s where you sit,
Jim Trestrail, church warden; and by the
Lord Harry they shall have your pew.”

He m'arched them up the very next morn-
ing. He knocked at the door, but no one
answered. After waiting a. while he put
his shoulder against the door and forced
it in.

There was no one in the kitchen. In the
inner room one sister sat in the arm chair.
It was Mlle. Henriette, cold and stiff. Her
dead hands were stained with earth.

At the back of the cottage they came
upon a freshly formed mound, and stuck
on the top of it a piece of slate, such as
children erect over a thrush’s grave. On it
was scratched:

A Suggestion.

I don’t see why a smart and strong wo-
man, or better still, two of them, could not
make a good living by upholstering,” said
a worried housewife in the city the other
day. “Here I have a lot of furniture that
has seen its best days; the coverings are
worn and faded, but the springs and frame-
work are yet good and sound. If I send it
out to a regular upholsterer the cost of
new material and his workmanship will
be more than I can well afford. If I sell
them to a second hand dealer that will be
little better than giving them away.

I could re-covcr them myself at little
cost and with good effect if I had the time
and a little more strength. N ow, if I only
knew where to send for a strong, handy
woman to come to the house and make the
most of the material I have, cutting it out
under my eye and working according to
my directions, I would send for her at
once. The result would be that the work
would be finished much more quickly than
if I send the. furniture away. I would have
the use of it all the time, my material
would be economically cut, and I could af-
ford to pay her good wages and yet spend
less than in any other way—New York
Tribune.

Title of the Czar.

The czar of all the Russias has a title
that ,would make him uncomfortable were
there no visions of Nihilists, dynamite and
other scary things to disturb his slumber-s.
In a recent legal document he appears as:
“Alexander III, by the grace of God, em-
peror and autocrat Panrussian, Moscovite,
Kievian, Vladvinirian, Novgorodian. Czar
of Kazan, czar of Astrachan, Polish czar,
Siberian czar, czar of Chersonesus, Geor-
gian czar. Gosudar of Pskoff and grand
prince of Smolensk, Lithuania, Vollhynia,
Peodolia and Finland. Prince of Esthonia,
Leivonia and Courtlaudt. Grand com-
mander of the whole Northern Country.
Gosudar of Iberia, Kartalinia, Armenian
territory and Kabardianvland. Hereditary
gosudar of Carcassia. and the Hilangida
provinces. Norwegian heir apparent.
Duke of Schleswig—Holstein and Olden-
berg, etc.”—St. Louis Republic.

\Vilkes Booth’s Daughter.

With the Boston Comic Opera company
is an actress whose name and family con-
nection impart a great degree of interest
in her to the general public. Her maiden
name was Rita Booth, but she is now the

wife of Mr. .Henderson, the director of the '

company. Mrs. Booth-Henderson says She
is the daughter of J. Wilkes Booth, the
assassin of Lincoln. She remembers her
father distinctly, although but 8 years old
at the time of his death. She was asked
concerning the truth or falsity of the state-
ment of some woman living in the south,
to the effect that herjat-her' was not dead,
but that another man had been shot on
that eventful morning more than twenty-
five years ago. She emphatically affirmed
that her father is dead, that he was shot
at that time, and that she saw his body a
number of times before the burial.—-Cor.
Pitts-burg Past.

 

 

Caught in a Snake’s Coil.

William Hill, a young man who lives
with Mr. Ransom, at Arant, Union county,
N. 0., had an experience which he will be
likely to remember for some time. \Vhile
walking through an old field Mr. Hill was.
confronted by a large snake of the coach
whip variety. The snake-was within afew
feet of Mr. Hill, with head erect three or
four feet from the ground. '

Giving vent to a keen whistle, it sprang
at thc young man, and before Mr. Hill
could resist it entwined itself around his
body {Lilii arms. l-lill could not get his
knife; but Inznnrring to get one hand par-
tially loose he ;; :spcd theiznzikc and began
tugging; away fir dear life. Fortunately,

 

 
 

his dog was with him, and seeing the peril

of his ma ' c‘t' (4:12:10 to his relief. Hill. with
the Zlfie'is‘intn'v of the dog, managed to free
himself fro 2. the too affectionate embrace
of his Sllilixusllili, which then ran up a cedar
tree a short. distance away.

Hill {511 tin-red some stones, and, going up
to within ten fcct of the tree, was preparing
to dislodge the snake with the arguments
used by a certain old gentleman on the
small boy in his apple tree, but the snake
did not wait for Mr. Hill to renew the
battle. Springing from the tree, it made
a. second attack upon him, but as it came
Mr. Hill threw up his arm and warded it
off. Before it recovered itself the dog
again attacked it, and this time succeeded
in breaking the back of the snake. Mr.
Hill then dispatched it, and measuring it
found the snake to be between sevenand

.

eight feet long—Richmond Times. ‘

'Efl‘ect of Bad Positions.

An erect bodily attitude is of vastly more
importance to health than most people gen-
erally imagine. Crooked bodily positions,
maintained for any length of time, are al-
ways injurious, whether in the sitting,
standing or lying posture,whether sleeping
or waking. To sit with the body leaning
forward on the stomach or to one side,
with the heels elevated on a level with the
hands, is not only in bad taste, but exceed-
ingly detrimental to health; it cramps the
stomach, presses the vital organs, inter-
rupts the free motion of the chest, and en-
feebles the functions of the abdominal and
thoracic organs, and in fact unbalances
the whole muscular system. Many chil-
dren become slightly hump—backed or se-
verely round shouldered by sleeping with
the head raised on a high pillow. \Vhen
any person finds it easier to sit or stand or
walk or slccp in a crooked position than a
straight one, he may be sure his muscular
system is deranged, and the more careful
he should be to preserve an upright posi-
tion—New York Ledger.

IMAGINATION.

Call Cassat- back and bid the world stand still!

Thou Brutus, pluck the laurel from thy brow!

Mark Antony, forsake thine amorous love!

And Cleopatra, all unvirtuous pride;

But thou, Imagination, art a king.

The universe thine empire—time thy throne!

Aurora's beams do fashion thee a crown

And Luna‘s crescent is thy Signet ring.

A tiara bright of jewel stars are thine—

Endymion, Venus, Jupiter and Mars!

Thy palace is the rainbow‘s glorious arc.

Thy fount—thc crystal of a thousand rills.

Thou art an artist; in thy grand design.

With infinite touch. the modest colors blend;

Bold Phoebus lends thee ample light and shade,

And lo! the gorgeous East is richly drest—

Not less the daisy. in her modest garb;

The lily in the vale, with rarest grace.

Then poesy comes—and thou hast taught her
We.

Like that of Orpheus, in the days of old,

To sing of love, of virtue and of fate—

Alasl that fate should consecrate thy name—

And well she leads in animated choirs

The songs of birds, the humming of the bee,

The liquid music of the waterfall.

And joins them all in one harmonious chant.

Why’ffle Held' O‘n.

VVorkmen were hoisting stone next (1001
to Frankie’s house, where a new building
was going up, the motive power being a
donkey engine. The signal for hoisting
was given by the sound of a whistle, and
the man to whom fell the duty of blowing
this stood out of sight of the engineer.

One day Frankie and a small friend were.
standing as close to the rope as they were
allowed to come when the whistler was
called away for a moment. The man who
made the stone fast went for a drink, and
the two boys crept up to the tackle. .

Unluckily the other boy spied the whistle
lying on a timber, and just as Frankie had
seized the rope his friend gave a shrill
blast.

The engine inside its shed began to puff,
and, with a squeal, u p went Frank into the
air. The workmen came running, shout
ing to the cngincer to reverse the machine
and to the boy not to let go. The lad was
up to the second story before he could be
stopped, but here a carpenter managed tc
seize him and draw him unhurt into a
window.

“You did Will to hold on, little fellow,’
he said, as he got the boy into safety.

“Oh, I had to,” Frankie answered,
“mother told me not to fall into the mud
with my new clothes.”—-Youth’s Compan

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, Hay Fever.
A New Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrancc of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research
however, has proved this to be a fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
catarrli, catarrhal deafness and hay fever
are permanently cured in from one to
three simple applications made at home
by the patient once in two weeks.

N. B.-—Tlus treatment is not a snuff or
an ointment; both have been discarded

by reputable physicians as injurious. A

pamphlet explaining this new treatment is
sent on receipt of three cents in stamps to
pay postage by A. H. Dixon &. Son, 337
and 339 West King street, Toronto, Can-
ada—Christian. Advocate

Sufferers from (Intarrhal troubles should

Pliolograpfi'iug it Bullet.
Nothing is too difficult for the experi-

-menter to attempt—witness the photo-

graphs cf rifle bullets in motion, obtained
recently by two Austrian officers. Scien—
tific journals of high standing considered
this feat so difficult that at least one of
them (La Nature, of Paris) refused to be-
lieve that it had been done, even after the
publication of the pictures, and discredited
the conclusions drawn from them by the
oflicers. Yet on examining the original
photographs (which were not as large as
onc’slittlc finger nail, and so had to be pho-
tographed on a larger scale when pub«
lished) the editors had to confess that they
were not only genuine, but the results of
wonderful knowledge of photography and
skill in manipulation. The condensed
wave of air in front of the bullet could
plainly be seen, and from its shape inter-
esting deductions can be made as to the

roper shape of rifle bullets—New York
