WILT .uRS. GILES DID.
BY MRS. s. A. UNDERWOOD.

Mrs. Giles stood in the front yard, hang
ing up her Mondays wash. The last piece
had found its place upon the line.
"Done at last said Mrs. Giles, speaking
to herself, habit in which she frequently
INDUCED. snow, if dinner was out of the
way, might find time to finish Leonard's
suit, this afternoon I've had it around so
long. If l only had sewing machine,
how much could accomplish" and pick
ing up her basket she went into the house.
The prospect within was not very cheering,
the washtub to clear away, and dinner to
place upon the table. Just as she had be-
gun to lay the table, Mr.. Giles appeared at
the door, and said:
"Put on an extra plate that man will
take dinner with u.s."
Dinner was soon ready and as soon des-
patched, for ceremony was one of Il e un-
known things in the Giles family. Mr..
Giles and the stranger retired to the sitting
room, to discuss the merits of a new reaper
and mower while Mrs. Giles remained
and cleared away the dinner table. When
she had finished, and made herself ready
for the afternoon, she went into the sitting
room. The stranger was about taking ms
leave. Mr. Giles was saying:
"If you have anything new and better;
anything that will make work easier, and
do more OF it, l am your mani | am in fa-
vor of all machinery that will tighten work
for man," emphasizing the word man.
"Why, bless you, just look around my
farm, It's run mostly by machinery"
profitable? certainly" replied he to an
interrogation from tho stranger. "More
than pays expenses. Money in the bank"
he added, never emitting an occasion of
mentioning a small deposit he had in the
city bank. The stranger was gone at last,
and Mrs. Giles sat down, with weary limbs
and aching shoulders, to finish suit of
clothes she was making for her oldest son,
a lad of fifteen. Slowly and wearily the
needle went in aud out stitch after stitch
was taken, but to little purpose it did
seem as If she never would come TO the

PROFITS OF LEADING NEwsPAPERs.-
"Carlfried writing to the Springfield Re
publican, gives the following facts and fig
uros "The New York Tribune has been
and is, one of the most lucrative newspa-
per establishments in the world Though
begun in 1871, with only a capital of $1,000,
and that borrowed money, its profits in
1850 were 100000, while of late years they
have exceeded 100000 per annum. The
Herald which was begun with even less re-
sources, and, as Parton said, struggled
along, 'one man in a cellar against the
whole world now yields an income of
over $1,000 900 to the Bennetts, and is valued
at several millions. The Times sank $780,
900 before it became profitable, but though
not now twenty years old, its shares have
advanced $50 per cent, and million dol
lars has been refused for its good will and
real estate. The Evening Post, begun in
1926 was Improbable at first, but 1t began
to pick up under John Bigelow's manage
ment, so that the latter sold his one-third
interest in 1868 for Sll5 200. It's profits for
the last ten years average Sl50,000 year,
and in 1868 were $4,000. The Express
SiN'N' "'N'N N"'i''N iVA gSat
al Of Commerce $4,000. The Star began
with $500 capital, now earns many times
that sum annually, while the Mail, which
is not yet five years old, is worth $3.50, 900, an
advance of fully one hundred per cent. on
its capital stock. The Sun, which should
have been named before, is a mine of
wealth to its present owners, and made a
fortune for Moses Beach, its protector. Not
to contne these statements to New York, I
may refer to the well-known vast proceeds
gained by the owners of the Chicago Trib-
une, and the Cincinnati Commercial, not TO
mention other western papers. In New
England, the Boston Post is worth $50, 900
ayear, the Journal slOO, 900, Advertiser S6O,-
900, Traveller $4,000, and Transcript $50
600. Forney's papers and the Public Ledg-
er in Philadelphia also pay large annual
returns"

smiling upon him a row of bright and
shining tin ware was neatly arranged on
the shelf behind it. Turning around, his
eyes fell upon washing machine with
wringer attached taking hold of the crank,
and giving tuin or two, he said
IA sewing machine, by thunder but
how in the name of common sense they
sew on IL is more'n I can tell"
Placing the candle on the table, he came
in contact with patent churn. "What!
another blasted concern Polly, Polly~ he
screamed, seizing the candle, and hurry
ing back into the sleeping room. In his
haste, his foot caught in the frame work of
sewing machine and he fell full length,
in the middle of the floor, while the candle
found resting place on the opposite side
of the room.
Mrs. Giles suddenly aroused from a
sound sleep, started up in bewildered
way, saying:
"What is it, Philip What's the matter?"
"Matter enough" growled he, picking
himself up, and rescuing the candle from
its proximity to the bedclothes-"who has
been filling up the house with all that
trumpery, and who do you think is going
to payufor it7 If you think am, YOU are
very much mistaken ~
Mrs. Giles sprang from the bed and as
sumed an air of dignity. "Philip Giles"
said she, 81 have always faithfully endeav-
ored to do my duty as wife and mother.
I have patiently borne my privations,
thinking them necessary TO husband our
means, while you have used money with
out stint, to purchase machinery to tighten
your work. Now have resolved upon
change. What modern improvements
there are to facilitate woman's work, in
tend to have. Nay, do not interrupt me-"
she continued, as Mr.. Giles made an effort
to speak. "Those things are paid for with
the money dear old grandfather left me by
his will. You loaned it TO Mr.. Harris,
doing me neither the honor nor justice to
hive the notes drawn in my name. Yes
terday he paid it. I went to the city and
made these purchases they cost less than
the mower you have just bought. The rest
Of the money placed in the savings bank
an your name, l suppose?' said Mr..
Giles.
"Yes, in my name" continued Mrs.
Giles, "that | might have the use oft when
l wished. This farm was purchased with
part of that legacy, and hereafter intend
TO see that my rights are respected, and my
legal claims rightly adjusted"
And so she did, Western Rural

AN ICTCLE Two THOUSAND MILES LoNG.
According to letter from st. Johns, n.
F., in the New York Post, the Arctic re-
gions have this year thrown off an ice spur
of an unprecedented magnitude, which is
drifting down into the Gulf Stream and
chilling its tropical temperature. The wri-
ter says that since early January enormous
fields Office, sometimes 200 miles in breadth,
have been passing the shores of Newfound-
land in almost continuous stream. The
thick kness of this field ice is from twenty to
thirty feet. The distance between Baflin's
Bay, where the ice fields are formed, and
the waters of the Gulf stream, where the
masses are dissolved, is from 1900 to 1000
miles. 1t may be affirmed, without any
exaggeration, that river of ice, varying
from so to 200 miles in breadth and 2000
miles in length, has been for three months
pouring incessantly its contents into the
tepid waters of the Gulf Stream. The win
ter has been fearfully severe, and the guam
tity and thickness of the ice unprecedent
ed. The irruption OF this immense mass
of ice into our latitude may account for the
cold and back ward season we are expert
/ encing.

Poetyy.
NY CL1I.U.


I claim not to stand by the regal throne,
Or to sit at the rayal board,
And sing Of the men as heroes known,
while the sparkling wine is poured.
Let others chant Of their lofty deeds
Brave actions, bravely done
OF the battles shock and the rush of steeds,
And the glory lost and won.
But give me to speak for the dear dumb things
That have no voice TO cry,
For the lowest stone where the high arch springs
And the river whose bed is dry.
For the daisy down in the tangle below,
With the thick boughs overhead;
For the myriad seeds that never grow,
But die on the earth instead;
For the bnrnacles high on the granite edge,
When the salt sea tide is out;
For the diamond held in the caverned ledge,
And the sunlight all about;
For the icebcrgs that harder and nrmer freeze,
And colder day by day,
While the heat pours down on the tropic seas,
So many league Rway
For the desert sands that stretch bare and wide
Under the scorchiug sky,
While down in the canon at their side
The rivers go wasted by.
Their minstrel !, though no chain of gold
win, for their wealth is small;
But their secret and pain in my song hold,
And know and love them all.

at is hard on the Colonel" remarked
John Mason, as he laid down the newspa-
per from which he had Just been reading
the election returns. "If we'd only given
him any kind of a vote here in b he'd
have been elected by small majority, to
be sure, but really elected. "But thetruth
is" and he laughed at the remembrance,
"that affair of the beans ruined his pros
poets here, and made every one suspicious
of him. Even men that don't care for lack
of principle in candidate, won't vote for
n man who had made himself laughing
sock for the community"

thetically, but there was a touch of sarcasm
in her tones, as she added with a signii-
cant smile:
ale ought TO be firmer believer than
ever, III the power and influence of calico
in the political world, considering it was
that calico bag that lost him his election"
Both laughed at the idea, and Mason
turned again TO his paper, while his wife,
as she threaded her needle with the scarlet
yarn that was to fill big gapin little Jem's
5 ock, sighed softly to herself, with the un-
spoken thought;
"He said so many pleasant things, why
couldn't he have meant themY'

end of the room, pursued and scorched by the
flames. 81 va
There could be no more favorable circum-
stances for a fire. There was not breath of
wind, and the smoke and flames arose perpen-
dicularly and spread over the horizon. Had
there been breath of southern air Mr. Bailey S
whole works, freight house, etc, must have
been burned. The fire kindled on two-thirds
of the gable of the store house, but was arrest
ed by snowballs.
Had the buildings burned it would have
greatly endangered the remainder of the works.
There were no facilities for arresting fire, no
ladders, and no water. A crew were despatch
! ed a quarter of a mile for ladders Nine were
found chained and locked together The chain
was readily broken. Where are the ladders

The Massachusetts, legislators propose to
be relieved of the suspicion that they can be
bribed by railroads, by demanding of such
corporations free passes or denying to any
members the right to receive them. That
must be the cheapest kind of a ''critter,"
who, for the sake of saving few dollars in
railroad fares, sells his manhood, violates his
oatn and trades away the votes of his constit-
uents. Henry Ward Beecher was right when
he said that such man had struck bottom in
depravity. If he sells his vote for large sum,
one can respect him as scoundrel of gener-
Gus proportions; but when he becomes so con-
temptable as to barter himself away for rail-
