Hazel Blossoms.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.


The summer warmth has left the sky.
The summer songs have died away:
And, withered, in the footpaths lie
The fallen leaves-but yesterday
With ruby and with topaz CAV.
The grass is browning on the hills
No pale, belated flowers recall +.
The astral fringes Of the rills,
And drearily the dead vines fall. +.
Frest-blackened from the roadside wall
Yet, through the gray and sombre wood,
Against the dusk of fir and pine,
Last OF their floral sisterhood,
The ilazel's yellow blossoms shine
The tawny gold Of Africs mine.
Small beauty hath my unsung flower.
For Spring to own or Summer hail
But in the seasons saddest hour, --tfftsi1
To,skies that weep and winds that wall,
Its glad surprisals never fail.
o, days grown cold. 0, life grown Old!
No rose Of June may bloom again;
But like the hazefs twisted gold,
Through early trosts aud latter rain,
Shall hints of summer time remain.
And as within the hazepb bough
A gift of mystic virtue dWells,
That points to golden ores below,
And in dry, desert places tells
Where flow unseen the cool, sweet wells.
SO. in the wise OWNERS hand,
Be mine the hazel's grateful part
To feel, Beneath ; thirsty land,
The living waters thrill and start,
The beating OF the riyulet's heart
Suficeth me the gift to light
With latest bloom the dark, cold days;
To call some hidden spring to sight,
That III these dry and dusty ways
Shall sing its pleasant song Of praise.
O love- the hazel wand may fail:
But thou canst lend 3 surer spell,
That. passing over Barca's vale,
Repeats the old-tinle miracle.
And makes the desert lend we'll.

Sharp Struggle with q Mad Wolf.

In the Charente, in France, little
girl was engaged IN picking up chest
nuts, when she was attacked by a wolf,
which flew at her throat and killed her
before man named Texier, who was
three hundred yards off, could come
to her assistance. When Texier arrived
the wolf left Marie Favraud and dashed
at him; he was unarmed, but he man
aged to give the Infatuated beast vio-
lent kick and to seize it by the throat.
Wolf and man rolled to earth together.
but the man was on top, and he held
the animal firmly pinned, though the
wolf had got hold Of his arm. This
struggle lasted for twenty minutes,
when man called Frontroubade came
to the rescue, and with Texier at last
succeeded in kicking and beating their
antagonist to death. Texier received no
fewer than twenty-five severe wounds
in this combat, and Fontroubade had
one OF his fingers lacerated.

PRAYER VS.. yvHIsKEY.
SChicdgo = Standard.

The praying and antl-whiskey women
are sure of long and hard struggle
when they begin operations in the city
of New York. The latest official report
shows that the licensed liquor shops
there number 1922. About one-Quarter
are Irish whiskey shops; another quar-
ter German lager beer saloons; another
quarter are the regular American bars,
where all kinds of drinks, plain, mixed
and fancy, are dealt out. and the other
quarter are miscellaneous foreign. The
Irish dealers are believed to be the most
hardened; the Germans the most obsti-
nate. and the Americans the most reck-
less. The Irish dealers are mostly Cath
olics; the Germans unbelievers, and the
Americans nothingarians; and We men,
ton this because IL has a bearing on the
matter of PRAYING for them. There
have been several meetings of the pray
ing women of New York held lately,
with the view of preparing TO begin OPP
erations against the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
shops; but they seem to be appalled, ut
the prospect. The tens OF thousands of
roughs and scotfers who can at any
time be gathered In any quarter there,
would be sure, whenever the praying
women appeared, to create obstructions
in the streets which would compel the
police to put a stop TO the public mani
festations of the ladies. Not one In u
hundred Of liquor dealers there would
ever allow any woman who proposed in
reference with his business to enter his
shor. When every other place In all
the States Is regenerated, the women of
the whole country viii have to concen-
trate their energies against the 1892
liquor shops Of New York City.

TREMENDOUS COST OF IGNO.
RANCE.

President A. d. White, in an address
at Ann Arbor, Mich, says: seThe mate
rial progress of our nation demands that
the State make provisions for the higher
education. See on every hand the mil
lions of dollars squandered by unscien-
tific engineers. l have seen the traffic
of whole city stopped for days together
because nobody could be found able to
construct screw-arch bridge.
''Some years ago l had occasion to
visit on public business one of the West
India islands. The national ship which
carried us out had been newly furnished
with engines and machinery at an ex-
pense of nearly 81 .000,0 900, and yet we
were so long making five days. voyage
that on landing we found our honored
obituaries in most of the newspapers.
On our return the eugiues and machin-
cry were condemned as faulty in con-
struction, and were sold for $50, ,OOO-a
loss on that single transaction sufficient

education of civil engineers than the

"A few years ago some spectators
professed to have discovered a valuable
gold mine in California, and commenced
selling stock at an assumed value of ST.
0OO, 900. Mr.. Clarence King, an expert
mineraIoglst, Dy easy but sure tests,
found there was no gold there save what
had been purposely put there, and the
rich harvest of the swindlers was at
an end. How many millions of dollars
he has saved to innocent parties by his
dXpose OF the Nevada diamond hoax is
impossible to compute.
"An eastern capitalist was on the
point of investing in an iron mine in

fell into the hands of professor in the

In the darkness Of my blindness.
| see not the loving hand
That would lead me to pleasant pastures,
In that far-off. beauteous land.
j do not choose to follow
In the path he has planned for me;
It seems so rough anu thorny,
The wisdom cannot see.
My joys are all turned to SORROWS,
My cup is with bitterness filed;
cannot think Fathers love
Such trial ever willed.
This discipline is needed
For thy sinful unbelief;
And the threshing is to prove
The fineneSs of the sheaf.
The furnace il must purify;
Before ever thou canst stand
Among those bright and shining ones.
That form the heavenly band.
Out of great tribulation
Those faithful yictors came,
Their robes all washed and whitened,
And yours must be cleansed the same.
Oh precious Lord and Master.
My sinfulness l feel;
i have trusted an arm of flesh,
When thou alone canst heal.
Thy blood it has the power
TO wash my guilt away.
And to that fount of healing

A voice then sweetiy whispered
Take up thy cross for me,
And I'll help thee carry thy burden.
Until thou my joys shalt see.
A peace so pure and sacred,
Now fills my throbbing breast,

If dear Jesus thinks it best.

One morning, it was in the mild Sep

Rodolpho's car was hailed by lady

Can it be?' he thought, 'ha! no! all

AS Rodolpho's coat-tails disappeared

hired man to go around to the nearest

Ernestine Montressor and Rodolpho

it is probable they would have known
each other before that time. As chill

they had not INDUCED in in the summer
months ;-they had gone to the same
school together because the school would
not come to them; and they had grown
up, in fact, to love each other, and the
good people of Swineville had looked
on them as a couple which would some
day get married and have number of
children, though they could not tell at
that time exactly how many.
At the date of the opening of our sto-

eighteen and twenty-one, the aggregate
of which makes exactly thirty-seven, as
