" Don't, Charley"

don't Charley" came to my ears in a
sweet, musical tone, while | was seated in a
railway-car, last summer. | should not
have heard the soft, touching voice, had it
not been very near me. | looked to see
who it was that had spoken, and saw a
sweet, beautiful woman upon the seat in
front Of me. A halfsad look rested upon
the young face that was all aglow with love
and tenderness. A young man was seated
by her side, whose face wore restless, dis.
sipated look, and in a moment | compre.
hended it all. His face was flushed slightly,
and | knew why it was thus. He was talk
ing very fast to some one in advance of
him, and once heard low oath. "Don't,
Charley" she said again, in the same sweet
voice. But Charley did not seem to heed
her words. but went on in half.wld way
to the man. Several more oaths came from
his lips; but the woman remained silent, yet
looking SO pleadingly at the erring one that
| thought, if he had been half human, he
would have needed the mild, loving reprooi
that was so visible in her tear-dimmed eyes.
A friend by my side whispered in my ear,
They have been married just one year"
He is BRUTE" | only said in reply.
At that moment | saw the young hus.
band wink slyly to the man, and then they
both arose aud went into the baggage.car.
| understood the movement when Saw a
bottle protruding from the husbands coat
pocket.
"Dont, Charley; don't CO." the young
wife had pleaded before he had got beyond
her reach; but be tore himself from her
slight grasp, and rushed along. Her eyes
filled with tears, and low moan came from
her pale lips, and then she bowed her head
and wept silently.
He came back In q few moments, his
face flushed still more, and his voice was a
key or two louder than before. lie brushed
rudey past the wife, evidently to got near
the car-window.
4" Let me alone, Mag" he said, as she
laid her white hand upon his arm. "Wo-
men are always in the way" he said, again
turning to the man in front OF him.
The wife turned away, and did not hear
her sweet, reproving voice again.
How | pitied that young, loving wife,
aud how often l wonder If her sensitive
heart must suffer and bleed for many long
years l think not for her tender, loving
soul, and frail, slender body will not bear
such unkindness. Strange how soon liquor
will transform human beings into unfeeling
monsters, and chill the ardent, loving ma.

Indian Pipe.

The Indian Pipe is one Of the few flower.
ing parasites found in northern latitudes.
1t lives in hardwood forests, growing
on the roots, of old trees from which, and
from the air, it derives its nourishment.
It is succulent plant, about six inches
high, of whtish color in all its parts.
The flower appears in June; it is large for
the size Of the plant, scentless, terminal,
sessile, nodding on the rehexed STEM glib.
bous at base, shaped like the bowl Of a clay
pipe, which article, somewhat carelessy
carved, the whole plant resembles in shape
and color. The minute leaves or bracts,
along the heshy stale, are scmi-transparent.
The fruit, when ripe. stands erect, and con-
tains numerous minute seeds. When grow
ing, the Indian Pipe looks like the very
spirit Of flower, and search in the woods,
which most likely will be long one, is
well paid if at last its delicate, white form
is discovered. When picked, the whole
plant generally quickly turns to dark red.
dish purple.
There is legend that years ago, an In.
dian, famous for his skill in the chase and
yalor in fight, besought of an old chief Of q
hostile tribe, his daughter, celebrated, far
and near, both for her wigwam. keeping
skill and her great beauty, for his BRIDE
The two sat under the fresh-leaved, spread
ing branches Of an old beech, and smoked
together a not unfriendly pipe yet the
father resolutely refused that his daughter
should be carried, though by so valiant a
brave, so far away, to SO hostile nation
AT last in impatience, he ended the confer
ence by saying, as he rose from the ground
and threw down his pipe, "My child shall
60 with thee, when pipes shall spring from
these dead leaves" Seven days passed
and as the father CHANGED to sit again un.
der the ancient tree, even on the very spot
where bis pipe was cast, he saw, rising
through the yellow, last years leaves, small
white stems, with delicate bowls at the top
bearing ghost.like resemblance to hi;

token of the Great Spirits will, and SO be
recalled the lover and gave him his daugh.

seven pipes, cut to rudely resemble the lit

Aud from this fanciful legend this singu'
lar parasite has ever since been called, Tht
Indian Pipe. Years afterward, and fsl
away, the great Swedish naturalist gave il
the less suggestive, though more sounding
scientific name, which signifies, A singl,
