Alice Cary's Love.

Mary Clemmer Ames publishes the
story of "Alice Cary's Love" as confid-
ed to her by that lady for the purpose of
being made public if false reports con-
corning it continued to circulate. The
beloved object was not, as frequently
stated, Rufus W. Griswold, though there
was an intimacy with him, growing out
of the aid he, as a literary man, render
ed her when she first came to New York
TO live by her pen. She never liked him,
though when he was broken down she
hired a room and nurse for him through
his long and painful illness. Hence the
report that she had nursed him herself.
The real story of her love is family
Swallowed forth as follows =
SIN the profoundest sense, Alice Cary
never loved but once. The man whom
she loved is still alive; yet gossip, with
its keenest scent, has never found or
named him. With all her fulness of
affection, hers wal an electric and soil
tary soul. He who by the very patent
of his being was more to her than any
other mortal could be might pass from
her life, but no other could take his
place. A proud and prosperous family
brought all their pride and power to
bear on a son to prevent his marrying a
girl u~neducated, rustic and poor.
eel waited for one who never came
back she said. "Yet 1 believed he
would come till 1 read in a paper his
marriage to another. Can you think
what life would believing one, waiting
for one who would Recer comet"
"He did come at last. Isaw him. His
wife had-died. Alice was dying. The
grey-haired man sat down beside the
grey-haired woman. Life had dealt
prosperously with him, as is wont with
men. Suffering and death had taken all
from her save the lustre of her won
drous eyes. From her wan and wasted
face they shone upon him full of tender
ness and youth. Thus they met with
life behind them-they who parted
plignted lovers when life was young. He
was the man whom she forgave for her
blighted and weary life, with a smile of
parting as divine as ever Lit the face of

Grace among the Mormons.

Grace Greenwood, who has been among
the Mormons thus speaks of them:
You hear a good deal about that
"cross," from both Mormon husbands
and wives, but you only see the shadow
oft in the faces of the women. / do not
mean to intimate that they all look de-
cidedly unhappy. There israther in their
faces a quiet, battling, negative and alb
negative expression, which certainly is as
far from happy content as it is from des-
perate rebellion. Naturally, they are
more alive to the outside pressure of
public opinion, more sensitive to the
obloquy and ostracism which their posi-
ton provokes, than men. Patient and
passive as they seem, they feel these
keenly-the more intelligent among
them, at least,-and though upheld by a
sincere, devout faith in this strange delu-
sion, they have toward strangers a pecu-
liar air of reticence, of mistrust, almost of
repulsion. l do not wonder at it-their
hospitality and confidence have often
been abused-they have been intruded
upon by impertinent interviewers, and
their reluctant answers to persistent
questioning published abroad, with
startling additions and dramatic embel-
ishment. Those 1 have met appear to
me, 1 must say, like good and gentle
Christian women. They are %singularly
simple in dress, and modest in demeanor.
What saddens me is their air Of extreme
quietude, retirement and repression.
But for the children around them you
would think some of them were women
who had done with this world. I am
told that the wives of even the highest
dignitaries show little pride in their lords.
1t we're perhaps difficult to feel much
pride in the sixteenth part of a man, as
men go. Even the first wife of a wealthy
saint, betrays in her husband and house
hold, they say, no ~exultant JOY of posses
sion. An investment in a Mormon heart
and home must be rather uncertain stock
for a woman. I am assured, though,
that the second wife is seldom taken
without the full consent of the first. Not
only are the poor woman's faith and zeal
appealed to, but her magnanimity toward
her sister-woman out in the cold. 1t
must he through great suffering that
such heights of self-abnegatiOn are
reached. The crucifxion of the divine
weakness of a loving woman's heart must
be a severe process. But there is some
sorry comfort in the thought that for
these poor polygamous wives there is
no wearing uncertainty, no feverish
anxiety-that they are spared the bitter
est pain of jealousy, the vague nightmare
torture of suspicion, the grief and horror
of the final discovery, the fierce sense of
treachery and deception. They know the
worst. Perhaps it is the "dead certain
ty" that gives them the peculiar cold,
still look l have referred to. As to the
Mormon men whom 1 have met, mostly
leaders in the Church, and prominent,
well-to-do-citizens, L must say that they
look remarkably care-free and even jolly
under the ross. Virgil, 1 believe, has
somewhere the expression, go three
times and four times happy P Well,
that is the way they look.

EXPENSE and Profits of Hotels.

The main outlay needed to start a first
class hotel in New York or any large city,
is the cost of the building itself and its
furniture. The actual running capital
need not be large, and the establishment
itself if it is sufficiently imposing will
b. its own advertiser. From SIS, 900 to
$40, 900 cash in hand would be sufficient
for repairs and daily expenses, even in
the largest hotels, as the business is all
cash, and there are rarely any long out
standing accounts. Alarge capital, how
ever, is required in the beginning.
Every one knows the enormous cost of
building lots on leading throughfares,
while the building expenses are not much
less expensive. Any of the leading
hotels, of New York such as the Aston,
Metropolitan, st. Nicholas, and Fifth
Avenue are worth a million dollars, land
and building inclusive as they stand,
while it is reported that $500, 900 was
laid out on furnishing the latter alone.
From these figures some idea may be
gained of the amount needed to open a
6rst-class hotel. The profits upon this
capital when it is well employed are nat
urally very large. The annual earnings
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel have been said
have averaged $500, 900 since it was open
ed, while the income of a number of
other hotels have exceeded 20 per cent,
upon the sum invested. Among our
hotel proprietors will be found not a few
men of great wealth, while the incomes
of the whole body of those engaged in
the business would probably reach a very
high average.

INSURANCE CoIrPANIEs.-A correspon-
H.

INSURANCE ColPANIEs.-A c~orrespon-
dent says of the value of insurance stock:
When surprise is expressed that business
men should have had so much invested
in a single interest, it must be remem-
bered that for years and years our fire
insurance stocks have proved a most re-
numerative investment. In a recent
law suit it became necessary to deter
mine the present value of S265 of stock
in one company, which was alleged to
have been misappropriated in 1851,
twenty years ago. A careful computa-
ton by the value of the stock, with all
the dividends that have been paid to
date at compound interest, showing the
enormous accumulation of S44, 600.
And in the smaller companies equally
astonishing results have been attained.
Another company started in 1850 with a
chartered capital of S20O,000 only ten
per cent paid up. Since then the whole
capital has been made up by stock divi-
dends and the handsome cash dividends
paid Oh the shares, which were quoted
at $40 before the fire.

Morning Drives.

Take a ridein the morning. Say what
you Will of the after part of the day,
there is nothing else like a ride in the
early morning.
In these Autumn days, when the air is
crisp and bracing, a ride in the morning
puts new life into your veins.
OF course it must be behind a lively
horse. We do not suppose a ride with a
yoke of oxen would be very inspiriting.
Who ever gets up and goes out early
for a single morning, without resolving
that he will never lie in bed late again ?
Many persons experience fatigue and
exhaustion from exercise in the early
morning ; but it is because they take it
before breakfast, and on an empty sto-
mach. This consequence is easily avoid
ed by taking a cup of coffee, or m
thing, however light, before going out /;
and the drive gives an excellent appetite
for breakfast after your return.
The early bird catches the worm.
The early drive catches health, strength,
rosy cheeks, and a rosy view of things
in general.

How he Did it.

The Court Journal states that there is
at present in London one of the greatest
81 sensations" of American perseverance
and confidence in self which has ever
been beheld even amongst the persever-
ing and self-confdent people of that
country. This gentleman, now ranking
amongst the highest and most distin-
guished authorities of the United States,
the guest of princes, and the counsellor
of diplomatists, is a barrister of high
standing, who left his humble and re-
tired New England home at the age of
eighteen, with thirty dollars in his pock-
ct and a paper sewn up with thread
made of hemp of his fathers own SOW.
ing, and his mothers own spinning.
Outside the paper was written, ITO lie
opened in 1864, or at my death, should
I die before that time" The paper was
opened on the night mentioned, and
found to contain these words, written in
a large, school-boy hand, This day I
leave my fathers house with thirty dol
lars in my pocket to seek my fortune,
and here do / take a solemn vow before
God, to foreswear all gambling, smok-
ing or drinking, or any self-induIgence
which can stand In the way of my firm
determination to advance. Henceforth
nv motto must be Push y" The VOW
registered in Heaven, and the New
England boy has changed his thirty dol
lars into thirty millions, if report spseak
true, by sheer industry aided by great
talent and spotless reputation.

Cape Cod MAckerel Fishing.

A Cape Cod correspondent of the Bos-
ton Wdtchmdn and Reflector writes of
Mackerel fishing as follows =
The lines, of which each mar manag-
es two, are all thrown from the starboard
side Of the vessel, this being, perhaps,
because the fishermen of Galilee once
met with remarkable success when they
"cast the net on the right side of the
ship" In regard to the time of fishin3
we are at the mercy of the capricious
mackerel themselves. Sometimes they
come promptly alongside and remain
there for several hours, while again we
hear many times in a day the prepare
tory "heave to-" but not followed by
the more quickly spoken "fsh, no !"
and the exciting drumming in the emp
ty barrels of the newly-taken fish. But
when they bite rapidly, the sport is live
ly enough, and each man has to look
well to his lines. We three "greenies"
stood side by side, and sometimes when
the lively mackerel on our hooks would
dart about like a weaver's shuttle, it
would result in all six of our lines being
drawn in by one of the party in a state
of ENHANCEMENT very trying to ones pa
tience. This the old salt very appro-
priately denominates quilting" On e
1 drew in a fish and was about to strike
him off into my barrel when 1 found
that both my neigLbors' lines were
wound securely around the tail of the
fish, which caused a strong tendency
towards the next barrel. Between us
both the poor mackerel had a hard time
of it, for it was not until we cut off his
tail that my friends lines would give up
their hold upon him. Such vexations
the experienced fisherman avoids.

Proclamation by the President.
By the President of the United States:
A PROCLAMATION.

By the President of the United States:
A PROCLAMATION.
The process of the seasons has again
enabled the husbandman to garner the
fruits of successful toll. Industry has
been generally well rewarded. We are
at peace with all nations, and tranquility,
with few exceptions, prevails at home.
Within the past year we have in the
main been free from ills which elsewhere
have affected our kind. If some of us
have had calamities, there would be an
occasion for sympathy with the sufferers /;
of resignation on their part to the will of
the Most High, and of the rejoicing to
the many who have been more favored.
/ therefore recommend that on Thurs
day, the Both day of November next, the
people meet in their respective places of
worship, and there make the usual ac-
acknowledgements to Almighty God for the
blessings he has conferred upon them
for their merciful exemption from evils,
and invoke His protection and kindness
for their less fortunate brethren, whom,
in His wisdom, he has deemed it best to
chastise. In faith whereof, 1 have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed. Done
at the City of Washington, this 18th day
of October, in the year of our Lord,
1871, and of the independence of the
United States the ninety-sixth.

The Agricultural Bureau.

The report of the Department of Ag-
riculture for October says the influence
Of drouth and of the unusually low tenn
perature of September has been unfa-
vorable to the ripening of fruits, and to
the maturing of corn and other crops.
No general or serious damage has re-
suited to corn, a large portion of the
crop being well advanced by the high
temperature of August before frost
appeared. The drouth of Midsummer
has been almost unbroken in the West
up to the time of these returns, inter-
fering greatly with the seeding of grain,
and with the termination and growth of
what the farmers have been able to
plant.
TIE present condition of corn, ex-
pressed as a percentage, 100 represent
ing a good crop, is as follows: About
an average in New Hampshire of Ill
in Massachusetts, of 103 in Rhode
Island of 101 /; in Connecticut of los I;
in New jersey of 102 in Delaware of
1903 in Maryland of 103 in Arkansas of
102 in Missouri of 112 /; in Ohio of LOG 4;
in Wisconsin of 10S; in Minnesota of
1IO I, IL 1OWd VI LII III hdusaS OI lI5 ,
in Nebraska of 112.
The product of wheat, as calculated
from county estimates, appears to be
about seven per cent less than last year.
The product of oats viii be about as
large as the crop of last year. As a
whole, the quality of barley may be said
to be fully medium, and the quantity
very nearly an average. The buckwheat
crop is comparatively a poor one, the
average condition being low in nearly
all the States. The potato crop falls be-
low an average. The number of beeves
reported is greater than usual in most of
the States; Texas reports a reduction of
81 per cent from last year, Kentucky 2,
Illinois 2, Indiana 2, California 5.

PoRK.-Pork has risen 3 cents pei
pound, so the markets say and again
the question comes up favorably before
the farmer of feeding his corn to his
hogs, and calculating how much money
he can make. A Missouri farmer de.
termined to try for himself practically
whether it would pay to buy hogs and
ICED them corn bought in February.
Seven hogs, averaging 133 pounds, on
93l in all-worth 5 cents per pound, or
SAG. 90, other expenses connected with
purchase being S6-cost S52.55 He fed
them corn for " days. At the end
OF that time they weighed LOO pounds,
or a gain of 769 pounds-an average of
10 pounds per day. They sold for S97.-
70, or a profit over cost price of S45 20.
The corr fed during that time was 80
bushels, or 40 cents more than the corn
had pre- V%iously been worth. The corn
crop of the West is now the most album
dant known Ill ten years, and large guam
titles Will be at a price of not over 25
cents per bushel. This is so cheap that
it will tempt farmers everywhere to feed
it to their animals and convert it into
beef or pork. At this price any one can
double their money very easily.

The NEXT GOMEZ. -Enck's comet is
now on its way towards the perihelion,
which it will reach in January next.
The comet has been ~telescopically visible
for some time, but it is not an object of
special interest to those whose vision is
unaided by instruments. 1t has a very
short period-only three years and a
quarter. The least distance from the
sun is 80, 000, 900 of miles, or about the
average distance of Mercury. The
greatest distance is SS7, 0O0, 900 of miles,
or more than four times that of the earth.
This comet is principally of interest be-
cause its period of revolution has di-
minished to the extent of about three
days in the past eighty years, a fact
which is generally accepted as furnish
ing the best proof of the theory that the
regions of space are filed by material
1" ether capable of retarding the mo-
ton of the bodies composing the solar
system. OF course this resisting medium
would produce annual effect upon the
comet Of a few tonsin weight, that would
not be experienced by our earth in the
course of thousands of ages. But the
result, though long deferred, is none the
less inevitable-earth, planets and COM
cts will be eventually precipitated into
the sun.
