POSSESSIONS.

A post loved a star,
And to it whispered nightly,
"Being so fair, why art thou, love, so far?
Or why so coldly shine, who shinest so brightly?
0 beauty wooed and unpossessed,
O_might I to this beating heart
”clasp thee once and then die blest!"
That star her poet’s love,
Sowildly warm, made human,
And leaving for his sake her heaven above ‘
His star stooped earthward and became a woman.

“Thou who hast wooed and hast possessed.
My lover. answer: Which was best,

The star‘s beam or the woman‘s heart!“
“I miss from heaven,” the man replied,

“A light that drew my spirit to it.“
And to the man the woman sighed,

“I miss from earth a poet.”

—Edward Bulwer Lytton.

 

Her Choice.

A lady of Warsaw advertised in the pa-
pers that she was willing to accept propos-
als for marriage, and giving a description
of herself she also enumerated the qualifi—
cations she required in hersuitor. Among
those qualifications she mentioned that he
must be the owner of real estate. She re—
ceived many letters in reply, but one of
these was strikingly original. The writer
said that he possessed all that which the
lady desired in her future husband. He
was good looking, he held a respectable
position, he had many friends and was re-
ceived in good society, and could support
a family comfortably. As to real estate he
had that, too; he was the owner of a plot of
ground in the cemetery which was large
enough to accommodate him, a wife and
six children. The lady selected the writer
of this letter from the whole number of
suitors. She opined that a young man of
his position who had thought of acquiring
graves for himself and a large family be-
fore he was married was surely worthy of
the endowment of her hand and heart.—
New York Sun.

 

The Cabbage Tree.

One of the most peculiar andlmost valu-
able trees in Florida is the cabbage tree.
The tree, in fact, belongs to the palmetto
family. It growsto a height varying from
twenty to forty feet, and there is scarcely
an inch difference in the diameter from the
roots up to the leaves. The leaves or bay-
onets all grow in a cluster at the top. The
wood is very porous and extremely light;
it resembles cork. Its value lies in the
fact that it is utterly impervious to the
ravages of salt water and barnacles, which
quickly destroy all other natural woods.
Hence the cabbage tree is much sought
after for posts and piles for building
bridges and wharves in salt water. Pine
piles that are used in building through salt
water have to be creosoted in order to pre-
serve them any length of time, and the
process is a very expensive one, but the
cabbage wood needs no application of any
sort—Exchange.

Air for the Brakes.

On the Central Pacific railroad the cylin-
ders of the locomotive have been utilized
to increase the supply of air to the brake.
This is accomplished by reversing the loco-
motive when it is going ahead, thus caus-
ing the cylinders to act as air compressors,
driving large volumes of air into the train
pipes and reservoirs. To accomplish this a
pipe is taken from the top of the steam
chest to a safety valve, and thence to the
airdrum on the locomotive. The reverse
lever is hooked about one notch back of
the center for ordinary occasions. When
a larger amount of air is required it is
hooked still further back. , This arrange-
ment has been in use about one year, and
since that time there has been no difi‘iculty
from lack of air on grades, even with trains
of considerable length—New Orleans Pica-

yune.

The History of Pepper.

The value of pepper in cooking seems to
have been known long ago. Its use as a
medicine was common in the days of Hip-
pocrates, who applied it. moistened with
alcohol, to his patients. Just as sugar and
tea have been in past times so dear as only
to be within the reach of the wealthy so
pepper was in the Middle Ages a very cost-
ly condiment. So much was it valued that
a small packet was at that time deemed a.
suitable present to offer a great person.
Common or black pepper ‘is now grown in
many tropical countries. It is a climbing
plant some tv’Velve feet high, bearing fruit
of a bright red color the size Of a pea,which
when dried turns black—Exchange.

 

He Should Have Nine Lives.

George W. Keene, of South Boston, de-
serves to live until he is 99 years old,in
order to complete his regard of nines. His
father died in 1859, at the age of 69, and
was buried on Jan. 29. Mr. Keene him-
self” was married May 29, enlisted in the
civil war July 19, 1863, was mustered out
June 29. 1865, and was discharged July 9.
His son was married Oct. 29. On the 9th
of August he received an injury which
necessitated his removal to the city hos-
pital, but he was discharged on the 19th.
He is 59 years old—Exchange.

 

A Combination of Fiddles.

A new invention in musical instruments
has been brought out by a German which
is causing a good deal of interest. This is
called a bowed piano, but is really a case
resembling a pianoforte frame, and con-
taining six violins, two violas and two
violincellos, the strings of which are tuned
to different notes. The instruments are
confi'ected by circular bands, which are
brought into contact with the strings by
means of the keyboard, the hammers of
which bear upon the bands with varying
pressure—New York Journal.

Old Trees in Blaine.

John Plummer, who drives the stage
from Scarboro station to Higgins beach,
says that the other day he carried a man
'over the route who said that he couldn’t
see as those big elm trees, which stand be-
tween the station and the beach, had grown
any for sixty years. It is thought that
their age mustbe nearly 200 years. There
are six of them in a line by the roadside,
and they are fine specimens of the elm.—
L‘éwiston Journal.

LL agree that no
man of this era
m o r e fitly repre-
sented th e spirit
that carved out
highways to th e
west and made the
b a r r e n wi l d s
bloom with the
flowers of civiliza-
tion than the fa-
mous border hero
“Kit” Carson, the
companionand
1‘! guide of the Path‘
/ finder. Before the
' c o m i n g of Fre-
, I mont Carson had
spent his days in
t r a p p in g a n d
hunting in New
Mexico, on the Yellowstone and in Sacra-
mento valley. It was not from vagabond
instinct, however, that he led this life, but
asa means of support for his family. His
experience was attended with all the dan-
ger and excitement that falls to the lot of
a pioneer in a savage wilderness, and in
this way the latent boldness and prowess
of a naturally modest nature were highly
developed. 3 '

It is hardly to be expected that a man
whose . modesty is extolled on all sides
would have a history filled with the most
daring exploits. Yet such is the case with
Carson, and the deeds he was capable of
may be illustrated by one of his best early
ones. While trapping on the Laramie
river with a party they were much an-
noyed by Indians, and adopted the tactics
of opening battle on sight. Once “Kit”
and three companions were exploring for
beavers, when they were confronted by
four red men in war paint splendidly
mounted. The trappers dashed ahead, but
the Indians wheeled and sped away like
lightning, leading their rash pursuers into
a cleverly arranged ambush. Carson was
at the head of his party, and when he saw
the trap, and some fifty warriors drawn
up along the pathway, he rushed at them
as boldly as though he had a regiment at
his back instead of but three men. The
others followed his lead. and the Indians
were so dumfounded that they did not
fire a shot until the riders were well
abreast of them. Then “Kit” and his men
sheered Off, breaking the force Of the vol-
ley, only two shots of which took efiect,
and the trappers were soon beyond rifle
range. It turned out that the ambush was
only a. part of a campaign arranged to
destroy Carson’s party and another band
of trappers before they could unite, and
thus the boldness of “Kit” had saved the
whole trappers’ camp from annihilation.

On another occasion Carson displayed
his great readiness and courage in saving
the life of one man at the peril of his own.
His party was trapping in the Yellowstone,
and were given much trouble by the In-
dians. One day, finding themselves in
some strength in the vicinity of a village.
they decided to attack, and with “Kit” at
the head dashed into the midst of the

 

' warriors,killing several at the first charge.

The Indians,.however, recovered from their
surprise and made a stubborn fight, coming
to such close quarters that the trappers
were driven to the use of their pistols. Even
then they were outfought, and began the
retreat at a gallop. In the mad flight
11 horse was shot, and its rider was caught
beneath it as it fell. Immediately a
dozen painted fiends rushed forward in a
race for the trapper’s scalp. “Kit” was
some distance away, his horse tearing along
at a breakneck pace. Seeing the straits of
his comrade, struggling under a mountain
weight, with his savage foes howling close
at hand, he flung himself from his saddle,
wheeled and ran back, emptying his rifle
at the foremost Indian and bringing him
to earth. Others were shot, the remaining
warriors recoiled, and the imprisoned trap-
per was set free. 3 '-

After his trapping experiences Carson
spent eight years as the hunter at Fort
Bent. He was on his way to visit his old
home in New Mexico when he met the
Pathfinder, bound on his first expedition
in 1842. He was at once engaged as guide.
Fremont says of him in his memoirs, de-
scribing this first meeting, that he was of
“medium height, broad shouldered and
deep chested, with a clear, steady blue eye
and frank speech and address.”

He remained with Fremont through the

 

first expedition, and at the express request
of the explorer joined the second one.
This was through Utah andtothe Great
Salt Lake.

On the return toward the states they
took the Spanish trail, and one day a
Mem‘can. accompanied by a lad, cameto
the explorers’ camp with a touching tale
of wrong at the hands of the Indians.
They Were Mexican traders, and had been
attacked with their friends and had es-
caped with their lives, leaving the wife of
the man and the father and mother of the
boy, together with a. band of horses and
valuable goods, at the mercy of the
savages. Touched by their grief “Kit”
volunteered to go and help rescue their
friends. Another mountaineer, Richard
Godey, accompanied him, and in a
short time they struck the trail leading
through adesert. The boy was sent back
to camp, and soon the elder Mexican’s
horse gave out and he turned back, leav-
ing Carson and Godey to pursue their
chivalrous adventure alone. _ They sur~
prised the Indian village, consisting of

four lodges, at night, and charged up

round the bodies of "sixmastinghOrses.
Two Indians were shotdead, and the rest,
panic stricken by the sudden blow,tand'"be-

live horses with, .
cred. and the bodies of .~

 

 

 

Godey traveled 150 miles in thirty-four
hours, and performed the daring and mag-

'nanimous service without other reward

than the thanks of the distressed Mexicans.
When Fremont reached the California
coast on his 1am expedition, and with
Commodore Stockton captured Los An-
geles, Carson was sent overland toward the
states as bearer of dispatches to the gov-
ernment at Washington. He took the
route through New Mexico, along the old
Spanish trail, and was here met by Gen. S.
W. Kearny, of the United States army,
who with an escort of 100 men was on the
way to California. Carson’s dispatches
were sent to Washinan by other bands,
and he turned about to guide Kearny to
the Pacific coast. When the party reached
the frontier of California, Stockton and
Fremont, who were at San Diego, learned
of Kearny’s situation, and sent out a relief
of forty men to open communications.
With the united command of about 140
the general pushed on toward San Diego,
and at SanBernardino attempted to surprise
the Californians who were in arms against
the United States. He was defeated, and
he established his men on a hill of rocks,
intending to make a stand until relief came
from Stockton. The Californians were in
great strength, and were led by Gen. Don
Andros Pico, brother of the governor of
California. A party of messengers sent
out by Kearny reached Stockton’s camp
with the news of his situation, but on at-
tempting to return and reassure Kearny

of hope of succor they fell into Pico’s-

hands. Stockton, acting on his infome-
tion, sent out a column to meet Kearny,
but had it not been for Carson, with his
indomitable spirit, the junction of forces
might never have taken place, and
the establishment of United States au-
thority on the coast must have been
indefinitely delayed. All the cattle
in Kearny’s camp had been lost in the
fight, and his men were reduced to mule
meat. PiCO had alarge force completely
surrounding the American position. At
the end of four days’ siege matters were
desperate for Kearny, and he determined
to try issue with his enemies, desperate as
the undertaking seemed. Everything was
put in readiness, the baggage was destroy-
ed, the wounded and sick placed on stretch-
ers and the little caravan stretched itself
out in shape to show which route they
aimed to go. Suddenly there appeared in
view a heavy corps of Pico’s Mexican lanc-
ers, which moved into line along the road
selected by Kearny and stolidly awaited
his coming. ’

To go forward would surrender or
annihilation. A counc was called and
the grave situation was discussed. Shout];
it be surrender or a fight to the deat _
Many, even the suffering sick and wound-
ed, preferred the latter, for Mexicans,
when their fierce ions are aroused, can
be as savage an cruel as Indians. The
only alternative was relief from Stockton,
and there were believed to be insurmountr
able obstacles in the way of that. But at
length the spirit of devoted heroism arose
as a silver lining to the cloud that hung
like a pail over that beleaguered. starving
band. A young midshipman, a mere boy,
who had come out from Stockton’s camp
in the first party, offered to point out the
way to San Diego if “Kit” Carson would
go with him as a. bearer of tidings.

Kearny at once demurred, and said that
Carson could not be spared from the coun-

oils of the camp in the crisis of that hour.
Then the boy, Midshipman Beale, an.-
swered that no other could aid him, and
Carson himself pleaded to be allowed to
accompany the brave fellow. Kearny
yielded, and they set out at dark, with dif-
ficulty passing Gen. Pico’s double rows of
pickets on the hillside and a patrol of
mounted lancers on the plain. These pre-
cautions of the enemy had been taken es-
pecially to prevent just such a movement
as this communication with Stockton.
The California general’s orders on posting
his guards had been, “Be alert, Carson is
there.” pointing to the American camp on
the hill. He had learned from the first
messengers from the camp whom he had
captured, that the redoubtable scent and
guide was with Kearny.

In order to move with werecy Carson
and Beale removed their shoes, and in pass-
ing Pico’s wary sentincls they crawled but
an inch at a time. The task was so diffi-
cult that at once Beale urged Carson
to 've it up. “Let us jump out on them
an fight, for itis all over with us,” he
said. CarsOn answered, “No; Ihave been in
worse places and Providence served me.”

At last they passed the standing pickets,
and then crawled over the two miles of
plain, which was guarded by mounted
patrol. This they passed, and then day
came on. During the day they hid in a
mountain gorge, and on the following night
struck Pico’s pickets around Stockto'n’s
camp. They now separated and eluded
the new danger successfully. Beale, how-
ever, was so exhausted that Stockton’s
men had to carry him from the outposts
to the camp. Stockton at once sent
out a strong party to meet' Kearny, and
the delicate mission, thanks to Carson’s
coolness and pluck, was accomplished.

In the civil war Carson commanded the
First New Mexico volunteers, and the same
characteristics distinguished him in the
army that he displayed in the exploring
and hunting camps. At the battle of Val-
verde, in New Mexico, he crossed the Rio
Grande with his regiment, and attacking
boldly was gaining the day when sudden
orders came to retreat acrossthe river. In
his report Carson offered no protest, but
simply said that his regiment was sweeping
everything before it,when it was called 01!.

modest man. He made nothing of him-

COUNTRY CHURCH.

There is aplace in this church for the
choir. People can see the members of the
choir without turning around. The organ
chamber adds a decorative quality to the
bu'lding. No one likes to have the music
behind him, and it more properly belongs
to the service when it is near the rostrum.

There is no better material with w -'ch
to finish the inside of a church bull ' g
than thin lumber. Rooms which we, d
otherwise have very poor acoustic qualit _
are rendered highly satisfactory throng

thin boards rather than the exposed sur-
face of plastering.

out best in shingles; that is, the walls
would look best if covered with shingles.

.In the case of a building like this it
would cost as much as the house itself to
get a first class artist to undertake to. dec-
orate the walls, so the best-thing is either
to finish with wood or tint the plastering
with simple neutral colors.

This building would seat about 300 peo-
ple, and cost about $4,500. It could be made
smaller and cost los'smoney.
