From Longfellow's aftermath.
The Haunted Chamber.

Each heart has its haunted chamber,
Where the silent moonlight falls
On the floor arc mysterious footsteps,
There are whispers along the walls
And mine at times s haunted
BY phantoms of the Past,
AS motionless as shadows
BY the silent moonlight cast.
A form sits by the window,
That is not seen by day,
For as soon as the dawn approaches
1t vanishes away.
1t sits there in the moonlight,
Itself as pale and still,
And points with its airy finger
Across the window sill.
Without, before the window,
There stands gloomy pine,
Whose boughs wave upward and downward
AS wave these thoughts of mire.
And underneath its branches
Is the grave of a little child,
Who died upon life's threshold,
And never wept nor smiled.
What are ye! o. pallid phantoms
That haunt my troubled brain ?.
That vanish when day approaches.
And at night return again
What arc ye 0. pallid phantoms
But the statutes without BREATH
That stand on the bridge overarching
The silent river of death !?

A LITTLE SToRY.-William Allen,
the Governor elect of Ohio, went to
that State from Virginia about 1926,
a poor boy with scarcely q dollar in
money. About 1880 he fell in love
with the daughter of a wealthy old
Federallst. The daughter was devo-
ted to young Allen, but the father
didn't like the young Jackson man,
and bitterly opposed the marriage.
In 1882 the old gentleman was nom
mated for congress by the Federalists.
The district was strongly Federal and
no doubt was entained of his election.
Young Allen who was then 25, just OF
the constitutional age to be a Repre-
sentative in Congress, sought the
Democratic nomination and received
it. The boy took the stump and
went for the old man and his federal
principles. The fight was desperate.
ly hot, but Allen was elected by just
one majority. This, however, did not
have effect to mollity the old man
who constrained his daughter to mar
rv another man. The husband, how.
ever, died within two years, and Allen
returning from Congress full of honors
and full of fame, married the widow.
She is now the partner Of his old age.

MAI. PAULINE CUSHMAN.

The Scout Of the Army of the
Cumberland" to the "Front" again.
In late number of the San Francisco
Chronicle we find the following:
All persons who have travelled over
the delightful stage road that con-
meets Redwood City and Pescadero
will remember lovely locality named
La Honda Junction, and popularity
known as "Sausman's." 1t is situated
in deep canyon, which is thickly tim
bered with monster redwoods. 1t is
at the junction of the San Gregorio
and La Honda creeks, two splendid
trout streams, which are much fire.
quented during the fishing season.
The coast range of mountain through
which these creeks flow are well filled
with quail, doves, deer and other
game, so that La Honda is favorite
resort for camping out parties. For
the last four monnts from one to four
camping parties have been there al
most constantly. The surrounding
country is well peopled by thriving
farmers. Two lines of stages pass
each way daily, so that, taken alto
gether, the locality has considerable of a
busy hum. A country store is kept
there by A. r. Sausman and Will
Sayres Thus much for the scene Of
our plot Let us now consider the
prominent actors in the comedy. Saus-
man is rough, warm-h hearted old
customer, who has been through the
Mexican war and is we'll known by
many of the Mexican veterans in this
city. He is one Of of the class of men
who prefer back-woods life, general,
whole. .souled, making no pretension
to the possession of a classical educa
ton, but endowed with an ample fund
of good sense. His partner, Sayres
is young man, perhaps about twenty
five He is respectfully connected
his father being John Sayres, wei
known in San Matco county as the
first settler in the town known a!
"Sayresville." Wills father and moth
er are both noted for their we'll -ballan
ced characters, but somehow thei
wisdom has not descended to the son
Upon the question whether the gen
eral verdict upon the latter point is
Just one or not, perhaps this narration
will throw some light.
The Chronicle proceeds to quot,
the following advertisement published
in San Francisco journal =
A young widow lady, refined anc
educated, will take charge of a gentle
mans house in the city or country
and desires home. Address Ell;
Chatillier, San Francisco Post office

The Great In: P.Oceanic ship Canal
Project.


The plans of Commander Selfridge con-
template no Utopian scheme; on the con-
trary, his project of canal, approved by
some of the ablest engineers of the United
States, is merely direct cut of twenty
eight miles from the head Of ship navi ga
ton on the Atralo river to the Pacific ocean.
twenty-five miles through fiat plain, and
the remaining six over broken country,
which requires three miles of deep cutting
aud three miles of tunnel. His plan does
include system of eight locks up of ten
in all; but so far from being over mountain
ridges, they are situated on the level part
of the work; and so far from being filled by
uncertain mountain streams, the whole
canal and locks are fed from the Napipi
river, which has an average volume through
the year Of 100000 cubic feet an hour. a
supply ample for five times the amount Of
commerce that is calculated would st'pres-
ent. use the canal.
SO far from involving large expense and
continuous repairs. the construction Of this
canal will be through its whole extent in
rock, and, once completed, will remain as
enduring as the hills, while the running e1-
penses will be but little more that the pay
and subsistence Of the necessary employees.
But it is not the intention Of this article to
any more than correct. if possible. any
erroneous impression in regard to the plans
of Commander Selfridge. The President,
with great good sense, has ordered COM
mission OF distinguished officers, who will
probably this fall examine all the surveys
and plans that may come before them. and
their report will not only give us the best
route. but, no doubt, such an opinion upon
it's feasibility as to set at rest any uncer-
:ainty that may remain with persons who
have but an indefinite knowledge upon the
subiect.-St Louis Globe.

A Cool Conversations.

They treat perfect strangers in very IA
miliar style in Detroit. The landlord of q
boardin ghouse interviewed one pleasantly
the other night. One of the landlords s
Ooarders was out late attending his lodge,
perhaps, and the landlord was in bed with
his room door open into the hals He had
been asleep, and was turning over to get
the other side asleep. as steak Is turned
on griddle. when ne saw a man standing g
near his bureau. He supposed it was the
boarder returned, and this is what followed
in the way of an interview:
Landlord-"Hello. Joe. do you want
matches -
Boarder-"Never mind; you needn't get
up"
Lanalord-"Have you heard Frank say
when he was gOlng'
Boarder-"I think he'll 90 next week."
The intruder retreated toward the door.
LandlOrd-''Be sure you put me in mind
of that quarter when you settle.'
BOarder, well retreated That's all
right and he disappeared into the parlor.
which was the next room.
The landlord addressed himself again to
sleep. He was awakened by some one
opening the front door, coming in, striking
match and going into the parlor. He saw
it was his boarder with whom he thought
he had been conversing. He got up. re-
lated his experience, and upon examination
they discovered that the house had been
gone through by burglar, who had en-
tered by one window, made his exit by an.
other. and cleverly gone off without carry
lng much of anything away. He then re-
membered that the intruder had spoken all
his words in a low voice calculated to lull
the suspicious of drowsy man. 1t was a
very rare sort of interview, and shows how
interviewers may sometimes be mistaken
IN their men. 1t 10 always safe not to be
too positiye.-S. Louis Republican.

Woman,s Sufe rings from Liquor.

The appetite for strong drink in man has
spoiled the lives OF more wOmen-ruined
more hopes for them, scattered more for
tunes for them. brought them to more sor-
row. shame and hardship-than any other
evil that lives. The country numbers tens
nay. hundreds OF thousands-of women
who are widows today. and sit in hopeless
weeds, because their husbands have been
slain By strong drink. There are hundreds
of thousands of homes scattered all over
the land. in which women live lives OF tor
ture. going through al. the changes OF suf-
ferinc that lie between the extremes of fear
AMI disrair, because those whom they love.
love wine better than they do the women
they have sworn TO love. There are women
by the thousands who dread to hear at the
door the step that once thrilled
them with pleasure. because that step
has learned to reel under the infu-
ence OF the seductive poison. There are
women groaning with pain. while we write
these words. from bruises and brutalities
inflicted by husbands made mad by drink.
There can be no eXaggeratlOn in any state
ment made in regard to this matter. because
no human imagination can create anything
worse than the truth. and no pen is capable
of portraying the truth. The sorrows and
horrors of wife with drunken husband
or mother with drunken son. are as
near the realization of hell as can be reached
in this world at least. The shame. the in
dignation, the sorrow and the sense of dis
grace for herself and her children, the pow
erty-and not unfrequently the beggary-
the fear and the fact OF violence. the linger
ing. life long struggle and despair of count
less women with drunken husbands are
enough to make all women curse wine, and
engage unitedly to oppose it everywhere as
the wors. enemy of their sex.-Dr. Holland.
