1t therefore became d matter OF sheer
necessity to go forward. When she or.
rived at her house, as might have been
expected, she was in very exhausted
condition bnt Ellie did not seem to be
much the worse for thc accident, ave
her wet clothing. The first th ng Mrs
! Walker did was to attend to the child
and 1t was NOT until her step-daughter
had her clothing changed, that Ruth
pulled off her drenched garments.
The following morning Ruth was 50
| i'll that she could not leave her bed, and
her husband Immediately summoned a
! physician. Two or three days more
and Ruth lay PROSTATE in bed with ty.
phoid fever.
Days and nights Caleb Walker sat by
the bedside of his wife, who lay uncon-
scious, her mind wandering, and a rag
ing fever racking her frame. He woald
not be satisfied with the attentions of
her nurses, but watched every move
ment she made. For a long time it was
doubtful whether she would recover.
Bnt at last the disease took favorable
turn, and she gradually began to mend.
Eut what wreck she presented, when
contrasted with her former self Her
first inquiries we're for Enie, and when
the child was brought to her she hugged
her passionately to her emaciated form.
During the progress of her recovery,
she was one day lying on a couch be-
side her husband, who had been read
ing to amuse her. Efie was seat d near
and prattling great deal. Mr.. Walker
laid down his book and gazed at his
wife. Efie began to talk again.
Mamma" she said, "you love me
very much, don't yon?"
Certainly, replied Ruth "why do
you ask p
81 don't KNOW" answered the child,
" except that it makes me very happy
to know that you love me SO dearly"
Ruth pressed the little one nearer to
her heart.
"You love me b tier than any one in
the world p continued the child.
Ruth did not reply; the color faded
and came to her cheeks as she looked
inquiriugly into the child's face.
as it not SO, mamma % continued
Efie. "You love me better than you
do papa, don't you o. and she took her
step.mother's hand and looked into her
eyes.
Caleb Walker sat by breatbless and
motionless.
Ruth hesitated for a moment only,
and then she answered in a low but dis
tinct tone
"No, Ehie, I do not"
The next instant Caleb was on his
knees beside his wife.
MY own, my darling :" he exclaim-
ed, "now l feel that you are mine own
indeed = and lie fervently kissed her
pale brow"
And 30. in truth she was. His cease.
less tenderness and unwearied atten-
tions had won her heart, unknown even
to herself. From that time forward a
new Joy entered the hearts o.. Ruth and

Cause of the Mississippi Overflow.

At recent meeting of the Chicago
/ Academy Of Science, Ex-Governor Bross
of that city read an elaborate paper on
the subject of the Mississippi inunda.
tions. in which he argued that the over
flows which are now devastating so
large portion of the finest cotton dis,
tricts Of Mississippi, Arkansas and Lou
isiana, and nearly all the choice sugar
region of the latter state, find their
explanation not in larger volume Of
water than usual poured into the lower
Mississippi from its tributaries, but in
the fact that the bed of the river is
gradually rising, thus lifting up its wa
ters to higher level, and causing them
to flow over the banks and levees which
once confined them. In support Of this
view he declared that he had conversed
with many intelligent and observant
boatmen in st. Louis, who confidently
averred that the bed of the river is
gradually rising fromthe deposit of sei-
iment, Just as the river Po, in Italy,
whose overhows are more frequent and
destructive than formerly, is lifting its
bed from the same cause. This view of
very interesting subject is strength
ened By circumstances attending the re-
cent overflow. 1t is noteworthy fact
that this recent overflow-wasnot- caused
nor accompanied by au unusual rise
either in the Missouri or upper Mis-.
sissippi; the floods came into the lower
river at and below Cairo, chiefly
from the Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee,
White, Arkansas and Red rivers and
the flood in the Ohio lacked several feet
of being as high as former years have
witnessed. Had the great streams above
Cairo, the Missouri and its tributaries,
aud the upper Mississippi, with its af-
Auents, participated in the rise. the
lower river would have been raised sew
eral feet higher than it was-a height
that would have carried it probably,
over nearly all the levees, aud caused
the inundation of all the lowlands Dor
dering on it. That so great aud de-
structive an overflow as that which took
place should come from the compsra-
lively limited volumes of water poured
into the river at aud below Cairo, seems
to suggest decreased capacity of the
river channel to contain its waters, ow-
lug to the elevation of the bed. Ii this
theory be correct, some very interesting
questions present themselves How
long is the process to go on? If the
levees on its bank are to be built higher
as its bed is raised, to secure the coun-
try from inundation, there will come a
time when the mighty river will flow to
the sea like an nqueduct, through chan
nels Ii ted up above the plain. But
there is limit 20 the work of raising
the levees the higher they are built
the weaker they become, and in great
flood, in which all the upper rivers shall
participate, the levees would be carried
away, and the released water would
submerge the loS regions in far more
destructive deluge than any VIC have
vet witnessed

Obedience in Children.

Unquestioning obedience we must
demand from tie child for her own
safety. It may often be a question of
life and death whether the little girl
runs when she is called, or throws
away something which she has in her
hand instead of putting it into her
mouth. But has not this habit of obe-
dience a higher Office than this 1t is
the first yielding of the unframed will
to rightful authority, and as such has
an immense significance. The mother
who cannot train her daughters and
sons TO obedience were better childless,
for she is but giving to her country ele-
ments OF weakness, not elements of
strength. She is furnishing future in-
mates for iails, penitCntiaries, and pris-
ons, and putting aims into the hands OF
the enemies of law and order. Miss

An English writer says in the Pail
Mall Gazette Many political phenom-
ma of the modern democratic world have
shown that blunders and injustices be-
loug to no particular era or state of So
ciety and here we have the congress of
United States repeating that particular
fraud of feudal princes which even in
the middle ages had fallen into the low
est discredit. There is absolutely no
difference in principle between adulter-
ating tue metallic coinage and "inAa-
ting" the paper circulation. The sole
distinction consists in the greater liabil-
ity of the older piece of cheating to be
found out A medieval gold coin had
its proper intrinsic value in the market.
and the money-changer who melted
down a coin of some particular issue
and discovered that it was half made up
of copper, at once knew that the sover-
eign had been swindling his subjects.
But the effects of adulterating a paper
currency have to be detected, not by
the scales or the tests, but by some
slight labor of the brain. As bank
note is, to begin with, piece of paper
which is absolutely without appreciable
value, very superficial person may
conclude that any number Of pieces Of
valueless paper may be made valuable
by printing on them the same wor Is
which appear on the face Of 0 redeem
able note. The difficulty, such as it is,
of seeing through this fallaoy gives the
modern corrupter Of money his sole adj
vantage over his execrated predecessor,
but both the act and its consequences
are identical in the Two cases. The im-
age and superscription of the monarch
lied in the older example the assertion
that "the United States promises to
pay is lying assertion in the modern
instance

A PhiIOSOphic View Of the Grange
Movement.

At the session of the social science
association at New York, lengthy pa
per, by lWilliam G. Flagg, of Illinois,
was read, on the farmers movement in
the west. After giving the history Of
the movement and its effect upon po-
litical parties, it concludes THE
farmers movement meant primarily an
advancement in the intelligence and
ability of the tillers Of the soil; second
", an unusual feeling of oppression and
distress, resulting from the mischievous
legislation of the country, and finally,
an effort to reform abuses and carry to a
more logical conclusion the principles
of our republican-democratic system.
1t was part of the universal upward
tendency of the manual workers of the
world, and was as irrepressible as the
progress of democracy on earth. 1t
foreshadowed the time when the cum
ming of the hand would be displaced
by the brain of the worker, equal and
exact justice to all men,; all men are
created equal : government derives its
lust powers from the consent OF the
governed : whatsoever ye would that
men should do unto you, do ye even so
unto them These were all accepted
principles and must work out their logi-
cal results"
