A Dream and a COnundrum.

The following story from the Ma
chias (Maine) Union, we give as we find
1t. Put in pinch of salt
& On the night Of April significant
date, Thomas Warren Beal, of Beal 3
Island, Jonesport, Maine; aged seven
teen, and sailor, dreamed that at q
certain spot on the island he could find
brass kettle; that he must 60 next
day and get it, and that thirty DAYS
after he must go to the same place aid
he would find 81, 600 in gold. The first
part of the dream was literally fulfilled;
he found the kettle buried III the earth,
with one edge just visible He removed
it from the ground readily, and carried
1T home. In the kettle were five knives.
all of antique English make, bad
ly corroded, and piece of huhian rib
The kettle had been covered with a
heavy wooden blanket, which was so
decayed that it was handled with diff
Guilty in the smallest pieces. Thomas,
beng somewhat superstitious and fear
full OF the hOrrid tate that always ever
takes money dlggers, ran away to sea,
and could not be prevailed on to re-
main until the expiration of the thirty
days and verify the entire fulfillment
of the dream. Other parties dug for
money and found another kettle, but it
vas empty OF course there are ru-
mors that money was discovered, but
not much credence IS given to the re-
ports. How came the kettles where
they were found by whom were they
buried and when, is a conundrum for
the historical society"

The Chimney Swallows Idyl.
BY MRS. r. 81. sTODDARD


From where built the nest for my first young
In the high chimney of this ancient house
/ saw the household fires burn and go down,
And know what and is forever gone
My dusky, swift-winged fedgelings, flying Tar
To seek their mates in clustered caves and towers,
Would hnger not to learn what have learned,
Soaring through air or steering over scar.
These single, solitary walls must fade,
But / return iphabiting my nest
A little simple bird. which still survives
The noble souls now banished from this hearth
And nope are here besides but she who shares
NV life, and pensive vigil holds with me.
No longer does she mourn she hives serene:
1 see her mothers beauty in her face,
see her fathers quiet pride and power,
The linked traits and traces of her race;
Her brothers dying like strong sapl1ng trees
Gewn down by violent blows prone in dense woods
Covered with aged boughs, decaying slow.
She muses. thus: Beauty once more abldes;
The rude alarm of death, its wild amaze
Is over now. The chance OF change mas passed.
No doubtful hopes are mine, restless dread,
No last word to be spoken, kiss to give
And take in passions agony and end.
They can not come to me, but in good time
/ shall rejoin my silent company,
And melt among them, as the sunset clouds
Melt in gray spaces of the coming night
So she holds dear as 1 this tranquil spot,
And all the flowers that blow, and maze OF green,
The meadows dasy-full, or brown and scar;
The shore which bounds the waves love to skim,
And dash my purple wings against the breeze.
When breaks the day twitter loud and long,
To make her rise and watch the vigorous sun
Come from his sea-bed in the weltering deep,
And smell the dewy grass, still rank with sleep
] hover through the twilight round her caves,
And dart above, before her, in her path,
TILL with smile, she gives me all her mind;
And in the deep of night, lest she be sad
In sleepless thought, stir me in my nest,
And murmur as murmur to my young;
She makes no answer, but 1 know she hears;
And all the cherished pictures in her thoughts
Grow bright because of me, her swallow friend!

The Life Rate.

Mr.. Alexander Delmar's paper on the
insurance of women's lives reveals some
interesting facts not generally known.
1t appears from trustworthy statistics
that women are not subject to greater
risk OF death than men; in New York
city, for example, the mortuary record
shows that the percentage of deaths of
males IN 1870 was 81 5; of females 26. 3.
In the previous year the per centage of
females was 25.5 against 3O6 of males.
The number of deaths of males over
40 years of age, in the period from 1866
to 1870, was 1902; and of females.
IL, 267-a difference in favor of females
amounting to l, 755 for five wears. oran
average of 351 per year The tables of
causes OF death also show a considera-
ole per centage in favor of women
Ihese are interesting results, especial
y. IN connection with the subject of
lie lnsurance-many of the insurance
companies discriminating against wo-
men I'D the issue of policies on the
ground of increased risk Mr.. Delmar's
paper opens field for discussion.

MICROSCOPIC WONDERS.

A Living World In the Cup of Car.
Scene.
1t is we'll known that the examination
of flowers and vegetables of every de
scription by the microscope opens
new and interesting field of wonders to
the inuuiring naturalist Sir John
Hill has given the following curious
account of what appeared on his ex-
aiming carnation: "The principal
flower in an elegant boquet was car
nation: the fragrance of this led me to
enjoy it frequently and near. The
sense of smelling was not the only one
affected on these occasions. While
that was satisfied with the powerful
sweet, the ear was constantly attacked
by an extremely soft, but agreeable
murmuring sound. 1t was easy to know
that some animal within the covert
must be the musician, and that the lit
tie noise must come from some little
creature suited to produce 1T. l IN
stantly distended the lower part of the
flower, and placing it in full light,
could discover troops of little in
sects frisking with wild iollity
among the narrow pedestals that sup
ported its leaves, and the little threads
| that occupied its centre. What fra
grant world for their habitatiOn! What
| perfect security from all annoyance
IN the dusky husk that surrounded the
scene of action! Adapting a micro
scope to take in at one view the whole
base of the flower, l gave myself an OPP
portunlty of contemplating what they
! @1,c co.. TO
gether. without giving them the least
disturbance. Thus l could discover
their economy, their passions and their
enjoyments. The microscope, on this
occasion, had given what nature seemed
to have denied to the objects of con
temptation. The base of the flower ex-
tended itself under its influence to a
vast plain the slender stem of the
leaves became trunks of so many stately
cedars; the threads in the middle
seemed columns of MASSEY struc-
ture, supporting at the top
of their several ornaments; and
the narrow spaces between were
enlarged in walks, parterres and
terraces. On the polished bottom of
these, brighter than Parian marble,
walked in pairs, alone, or in larger
companies, the winged inhabitants :;
these, from little dusky flies, for such
only the naked eye would have shown
them, were raised to glorious, glittering
animals, stained with living purple, and
with glossy gold that would have
made all the labors of the loom
contemplate in the comparison. l
could, at leisure, as they walked to-
gether admire their elegant limbs, their
velvet shoulders and their sllken wings
their backs vieing with the empyrean
in its blue; and their eyes, each formed
of thousand others, outSlittered the
little plains on a brilliant, above de
scription, and almost too great for ed
miration."

\ Lost Life. By Emily H Moore. Carlton
Il Co., New York.
Mgnonette, the author of this interesting
novel, has been resident of this city for some
years, and is well known to the reading public
as the writer of many excellent poems Indeed
she Is SO well and favorably recognized as q
poet OF fine taste and a high order of merit
that the public would be much better prepared
TO hear OF her success in that department of
literature, than IN the more crowded field of
fiction. But III our judgment the work before
us Is her best and greatest effort, and must
give her rank among the most accomplished
female writer's of the day. The leading char
acter her book Is the wife of a village doc
tor IN quiet New England village2where
everybody knows all about evervbody's busi-
ness-where poverty IL almost unknown and
industry and thrift common to all-where the
doctor, the parson, the lawyer, the school
teacher and their small circle of select friends
the only representatives of the So
called higher classes From this uninvitinp
held, Mrs Moore has cleaned the material for
a most fascinating story, and she has told it in
that easy, graceful manner which is character
lstlc OF her best productions. She has drawn
a picture of contented home life and affection
ate devotion to life's duties which cannot he
read without profit by any, and it will not fail
TO prove most entertaining to ALL The book is
handsomely printed by Carlton & Co., and for
sale by the Wisconsin News COMPANY. To
those who are familiar with Mrs. Moores writ
nSs, no recommendation is necessary We
predict large sale for it in Wisconsin.

The New Cotton from

The statement we recently published.
showing the probability that the new
crop of cotton would be the largest
since the great crop of 1860, is already
IN the course of fulfillment. A south
ern table gives the receipts at the ports
mp TO the latest mail accounts at 8, 292.
Soi bales, against 2,3S7, 1876 bales for
the same period last year; from which
the writer infers that the crop will
reach between ,, $50, 900 and 1 900. 900
bales. Om own impression remains
trm that the crop will exceed
the highest of these figures, AS
long experience has satisfied lis that
the estimates from the south are cener-
ally below the mark. The Geographic
advlees OF the receipts of cotton at the
ports are to April Z, when the total for
the season was 1888, 0S1 bales, against
:, l15, $50 bates for the corresponding
period last season: SO that the receipts
are already nearly Il million bales in adj
vance OF last year, or in exact figures,
939, 0Sl bales. For the corresponding
period ending April ), 1860, the receipts
were 4,049, SIT bales. 1t is believed
that the planters have in many places
withheld their cotton from market on
account of the low prices ruling.
The cotton trade of Texas has in
creased considerably inimportance, and
seems to command direct export chiefly
ifom Galveston, which port is fast ris-
ing IN consequence in the commerce of
the Southwest 1t is already entitled

ABOUT PEARLS.-It IS curious that
the nearest cognate substance to the
pearl, is bezoar, a ccncretion of deem
green color found in the stomachs of
goats, dogs, cows, and especially of
camels. The bezoar used to be a
valued talisman. The Chinese have
for centuries carried on well organized
system of manufacturing pearls. The
invention was made early in the thir-
teenth century, and they still honor the
inventor with a temple and acts of
ceremonial worship. The French
pearls, which excel all others in the
beauty of their imitation, are manufac-
tured, In the first instance, out of the
scales of tiny white fish, which abound
IN the small tributaries of the Seine
and Marine. 1t takes from 1900 to
Is, 600 fish to make one pound of the
famous essence dorfe1at.
