And they did. Whatever annoyances

OF her household, or to Mr.. Merwin in the
conduct of bis business during the day,
was not permitted TO mar the cheerlulness
of their evening reunions. When he came
home, exhausted by unusual labors. the
quick eye of his wife read in his face and
manner the need of his spirit, and by rea-
son OF her perfect sympathy with him, she
knew Just how to soothe aud restore him.
or, If he found her depressed and weary
on his return, he, too extended the hand OF
ready sympathy, gentle forbearance and
CHEEKY words. The club was forgotten for
the fireside The crochet and embroidery
needle were forgotten, and yet the children
grew as fast, were as rosy and gay as when
their loving mother arrayed them In gar
lnents covered with choice needlework.
Though silver began TO mingle with Mrs.
Merwin's chestnut tresscs, and crow-feet
traced themselves on face no longer
young, MIR. Merwin declared that every
year but added TO her personal charms, and
made her n thousand fold more dear to him

THE DELIGHTS OF CAMEL RIDING
Mounting the camel is not difficult, but it
has some sweet surprises for the novice.
The camel lies upon The ground with all
his legs shut up under him like jack
knife. You seat yourself in the broal sad
die, and cross your legs in ront Of the
pommel. Before you are ready, something
like private earthquake begins under
you. The camel raises his headquarters
suddenly, and throws you over his neck
and before you recover from that, he
straightens up his knees, and gives you
jerk over his tail F.; and while you are not at
all certain what has happened, he begins to
move off with that dislocated walk which
sets you into a see-saw motion, a weaving
backwards and forwards in the eapacious
saddle. Not having hinged back fit for
this movement, you lash the beast with
your koorbash TO make him change his
gait. He is nothing 10th TO do ii, and at
once starts into a high trot, which sends
you foot into the air at every step, bobs
you from side TO side, drives your back
bone into your brain, aud makes castanets
of your teeth. Capital exercise. When
you have enough Of it you pull up, and
humbly inquire what is the heathen meth
cd of riding a dromedary.-ChGrles DHd-
len Warner.

A very cosy sitting room IL was that
Frank Merwin entered as he returned from
a long and wearisome day in the law office.
A soft glow was df'used from fire OF sea
coal in the CRATE the cat lay doing OH the
rug, and the fitful gleam of the freight
flashed on a bookcase well filled with ee-
gantly bound volumes, on blooming ca
meia partially veiled by the heavy lace
window curtains, ON choice pictures sus-
pended from the walls, on handsome stuffed
easy chairs, and every now and then dis
closed, resting in shadow, Il cbild's shoe
that lay in one corner on the Brussels car
pet. Near the crate was drawn up the
lounge, with Frank dressing gown thrown
over it and his embroidered slippers just
peeping from beneath.
"This looks like comfort" said Frank as
he put on the gown, thrust his feet into the
slippers, and threw himself on the lounge
ry is?"
At this moment Mrs. MeTwin entered,
with the lamp in her hand, and found Frank
enjoying the quiet freight.
"Why, Frank" she exclaimed, "when
did you come in3 didn't hear you" and
placing the lamp on the table she sat down
beside him.
"Only a moment ago." he said, "but It's
so pleasant to get home and rest. Is din
ner readyS Tn very hungry"
Just then tie tinkling bell announced
dinner, and they were presently seated at
the table. Minnie, the little two years old,
was already in her high chair, and no soon
er did her mother appear than she began,
"Tato, tato, bread, milk, butter"
A shade passed over Franks face, but he
said nothing as he helped Mrs. Merwin,
roast before him. For minute or two at a
lime Minnie was still, but as soon as her
eye rested OH any dish she had not seen be-
fore she began, "Cake, cake, raisins, sug-
ar" and nothing else could be heard. Mrs.
Merwin, intent on stopping her clamor,
gave no attention 10 any one else at the Ia
BILE. Frank drew long breath, and said,
in an undertone, as If to himself;
81 do wish she could eat before we do,
and be asleep when | come home"
In response TO this, Mrs. Merwin said, in
a pettlng tone to Minnie, "Ittle darling
doesn't want TO cat all alone, and go TO bed
fore papa comes, does Shef"
The other children were al over four
years old, and had been trained in table
manners by their father so well that their
presence was no annoyance; but this little
Minnie he couldn't manage, and cunning
and pretty though she was, was real tor
worn and tired with the business of the
day.
At last dinner was over, aud the baby
put TO bed to Franks great relief. "Now 1
eau talk with Mary" said he 10 himself.

A WOMAN WHO LIVED So DAYS WITH
OUT EATING OR DRINKING has just died at
Mexico, N. Y. She was about SO years old,
and, for 10 years, had been bed-ridden, as
the result of a nervous disease. One day
in February, she was taken with a severe
toothache, and having had her teeth
drawn, the pain went TO her throat and
chest, making it very difficult for her to
swallow. She tried little cream for
while, but it threw her into convulsions,
and finally the sight or odor of food would
produce the same effect. From time to
time, too, she became deaf, dumb and
blind. Medications were introduced into
her arms, and she was bathed in milk, but
when efforts were made to induce her to
eat pieces of food placed in her hands, she
refused, even after all trouble with her
throat and chest had passed away. Yet
when asked why she would not eat, she
could give no reason. The most striking
fact of all was that, after death, no evil
dence of disease could be found in her
body.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CENrENN1

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CENTENNIAL
p RosPEcTs.-A correspondent of New
York paper condenses "A good deal OF fact
and common sense in the following:
"On the course of recent trips North and
West took pains TO inquire of hotel keep
ers, railroad agents and others how many
people were going TO the CentennialH' AL
most invariably the answer was something
like this: well, it depends good deal on
how much il costs. People can't afford 10
use much money just now outside OF their
own family expenses. If the railroads put
down their fares low enough, and folks are
sure of not being swindled at Philadelphia,
good many will go. If not, they'll stay
at Lome.'"

PUTNAM AND THE WoLF.-Among arti-
cles to be exhibited from Connecticut at
Philadelphia, is the gun which General
Putnam used when he shot the wolf in
Pomfret on a historic occasion. 1t is an
old "Queen's arm," and comes directly
down from the Sharpe family. Briefly, its
history is that the Sharpes were neighbors
of Putnam and were notorious hunters.
When the wolf was tracked TO the cave a
request for gun was sent to the Sharpe
house, and this arm was lent 10 Putnam,
who crept into the den with it and shot the
WOLF 1t has ever since been carefully
treasured and is relic Of absolutely un-
questionable authenticity.

CHATTER II.

A year or Two AFTER the opening of our
story, Mrs. Merwin, worn with constant
confinement, accepted .he invitation of an
old schoolmate, and taking Mimic went TO
Vermont to pass the warm days of sum
mer. The other children remained at home
with a tried housekeepor, who would be
sure TO look after them carefully. Frank
had his club, and would occasionally come
to Vermont and pass the Sabbath during
Mrs. Merwins stay. He had known Mr..
Banks, the husband Of his wife's friend in
former days, and had professional inter-
changes of courtesy aud business with him
as they were both lawyers, but hitherto
there had been no visiting between the
families.
On her arrival al her friends house, Mrs.
Merwin was most cordially received, and
made to feel quite at homo. The years that
had separated them since they left school
dwindled into nothing, and they soon were
interchanlng thought aud feeling as long
years before, when they walked arm in arm
about the playground of the old academy,
or rambled in the park adjoining it. Both
had children whom they Iloved and were
proud of; both had indulgent and intellect
ual husbands both had beautiful homes.
But Mrs. Merwin was not slow TO per-
celve, as they sat together sewing, in the
cool mornings, that her friend was far
above her In sweep Of thought and grasp Of
intellect. She was mortified that OF many

The Dreamer.

Inc Drehmers
All day the white-hAired woman sits
Beside the open doer, and knits;
No living thing her dim eye sees,
As, busy with old memories,
She dreams her dreams Of what has been,
And knits her old-time fancies in.
She thinks Of those who long ago
Went out across the threshold low.
How many times her listening ear
Has thought familiar footsteps near,
And she has started up to find
A dead leaf rustliDg in the wind.
But nsver as Of these who lie
Beneath the wide and tender sky.
with folded hands on quiet breast,
All wrapped about with peace and rest,
She thinks Of them. For her they tread
The green earth with her. None are dead.
Though years have fallen like the leaVes
Above the graves where Summer veaves
Her grass-fringtd coverlet, to keep
Safe hid from us the ones asleep,
She sees them ALL Not grass nor mold
Can hide the ones she loved Of old.
She talks with them. When brown.wiDged bees
Make merry in the locust trees,
She thinks he comes and sits with her
Whose voice was loves interpreter.
o dreamer! young again to-day,
What matter II your hair is gray7
Sometimes she thinks that round her knee
Her children play in happy glee,
And when they tired and sleepy grow
She sings some song Of long ago,
Aud on her loving mother-breAst
She rocks her little ones to rest.
o dreamer, knitting ali the day
Your dreams in with your stitches gray,
Yours is happy, happy heart,-
4 haunted world from ours apart.
The years that turned your tresses gray
Have given you back your youth to-day.

PORTLAND AND oaDENsBURG RAILROAD.
-One day last week a town meeting was
held at Concord to see what action would
be taken in regard to instructing the Sc
lectmen in relation TO making provisions
for paying the March interest due on the
Sl0O, 900 bonds issued to the Portland and
ogdensburg Railroad. After a somewhat
lengthy and exciting debate upon the ques-
tion, it was voted "not to pay" the inter-
est so the town by this action virtually
votes to repudlate her Indebtedness for not
only interest but principal. BY those who
took this decided position it is claimed that
the law under which the town was bonded
is unconstitutional, and therefore the bonds
are worthless and also that tax II made
up TO meet the interest could not be collect
cd without litigation, AZ parties stand
ready 10 contest the same.

ENEMIES OF Mn. CoxKLrNG, like Mr. Curtis,
insist that he must be defeated in order to
propitiate their support. But what is to be
done for the friends of Mr.. Conkling? 1t
should be remembered that Mr.. Conkling
has claim upon the party which no other
candidate possesses. He was offered the
Chief Justiceship of the Supreme Court
twice, and each time he declined it. He
felt that his place was with the rank and
file of the party and he would not abandon
it even for the splendid seclusion Of the SUI
preme Bench If there is any discipline in
the republican party, any consideration for
party services, this fact should be remem-
bered to the honor of Mr.. Conkling now.
when it is proposed to give him the COM
nand Of the party of which he is the most
brilliant leader.
