A Brace OF Stories.

Colonel James Baker, in his work
on Turkey, tells the following stories:
He once asked British missionary
to the Turkish Jews IL he had made
any converts. He replied cautiously
that he had. Colonel pushed for a
more precise reply, and asked how
many converts his friend actually
had at that moment. Il cannot say
that have any," was the answer
but Miss W-has one at Cairo.
On another occasion, Colonel Ba-
ker was informed by an American
merchant that he knew place in
Macedonia where gold stuck out Of
the rock, and that he had cut off a
piece OF solid gold three inches long
as thick as his thumb. Il felt in
clined," Colonel Baker goes on to say,
SO address the man as I once heard
one American say to another who
had just been drawing the long bow;
Sir, have no doubt you are speak
ing the truth, and that's fact; but IL
was to meet you in New York,
wa,tzing down Fifth Avenue arm-in-
arm with Ananias and Sapphira,
should take you all to be OF the same
family"

The Human Garden.

Look at your flower garden, lying
yonder before your windows. You
know what care you must give
it il you would have it prosper; how
you must train the tender vines, and
water the young plants, and weed
and loosen the soil. Left to itself,
great weeds will soon choke the
flowers; and though you find it hard
to have as many roses as you want,
it would be difficult to be rid OF the
crop of nettles that would spring up
if you forgot those beds a week.
SO it is with the human garden.
The bad things grow faster than the
good, and without help, too; while
you must not only help the earthly
blossoms-the human herbs of virtue
but fight for them against the
hnman weeds.
1t is romantic and pretty to say
that good always triumphs, and that
the right is always victorious, but it
is not true; aud those who have
power should always remember this
One Of the noblest tasks a great
man can take upon himself is. to
weed the human garden and give the
good, the pure, and the honest plants
a chance to bear flowers and fruit, OF
which those stinging nettles, evil men,
arc always striving to rob them

What .wifey Means.

Says Ruskin: What do you think
the beautiful word "wife" comes
from? 1t is the great word in which
the English and Latin languages
conqured the French and Greek. /
hope the French will someday get a
word for it instead OF that dreadful
word femme. But what do you think
1t comes from? From the great val
ne of the Savon words is that they
mean something. Wife means "wea-
ver." You must either be house,
wives or housemoths; remember that.
In the deep sense, you mnst either
weave mems fortunes anc embroi-
der them, or feed upon and bring
Them to decay. Whenever true
wife comes, home is always around
her. The stars may be over her
head; the glow gorm in the night
cold gross may be the fire at her feet /;
but home is where she is; and for a
noble woman it stretches far around
her, better than houses ceiled with
cedar or painted with vermillion,
shedding its quiet light far from
those who else are homeless This /
believe to be the woman's true place
and power.

Sir Thomas de Traffered, the head of
one of the stanchest Catholic English
houses. He was born in 1884, and
fourteen years ago married Miss
HILBERT, daughter OF Washington
HILBERT, perhaps the most popular
and highly esteemed Catholic gentle
man of his time in England. That
lady died after a short married life Of
two years, and Sir Charles Tempest
was married for the second time in
1874, to Miss Hariette Gordon, a
daughter OF Captain Gordon, Of the
Forty-second Highlanders. The
marriage was supposed to be a
very happy one, and the sudden
elopement OF Lady Tempest has
created therefore an uncommon ex-
element, especially in the best Cath
Ollie circles in England. in which Sir
Charles Tempest is universally es-
teemed. The news OF this disagree
able incident Of English social life
was telegraphed to one OF our cotem-
porories the other day as the elope-
ment OF Lady Ernst Vane Tempest,
who is quite different person.-Nesc

A Lone Sentinel.

AS we wandered west along Fourth
street yesterday on our return from
the dog-show, we met an old friend
in a blue uniform, who asked cor
cerning the prospective success OF
the exhibition. the character OF the
attendance and the merits OF the
dogs. Conversation naturally turned
upon dogs in general, and subse-
quently upon mastiff dogs in partic-
ular. The man in blue listened in a
kind OF dreamy way to our criticisms
and suddenly commenced slowly and
thoughtfully to narrate the following
incident:
Il think 1t was in 80 or '51 when ]
was crossing the plains to reach the
gold fields. There were only three OF
us; and we were all the time on the
look out for Indians. / believe the
Mormons had only settled at Salt
Lake a few years previous; and to
cross the plains in those days was a
risky undertaking. We rode all day,
and at night one stood guard.
There was an awful silence on
those plains; and sometimes the
silence weighted down upon us SO
strangely that we would ride for
hours without speaking; and you
never heard the barking OF a coyote.
The air was rare and transparent,
and the expanse about us level as a
vast sea, with occasianal billowy
heaves which one could see at dis
tance OF twenty miles. 1t was nearly
always the same; except where the
buffalo skulls were very thickly
strewn, or where those queer Indian
graves raised on poles stood out
against the horizon, like odd black
insects with very long legs.
So we came at last to the head OF
the Sweetwater-then nearly one
thousand miles from any settlement;
and the skulls lay very thick there.
thick as the boulders in q torrent
bed sometimes; and there were little
mounds all over the plain; and these
mounds were all graves.
Each grave had a great buffalo or
elk skull-all white, and bleached,
and ghastly-looking--at one end OF
1t. I remember some OF the elk skulls
must have measured five feet be-
tween the tips Of the horns; and the
bone was as white and dry as salt
And on every skull that was placed
On a mound there had been written

Henry Clay,s Debt.

The great Henry Clay was once
placed in a position where he could
not refuse favor, and yet he would
not have credited himself with doing
anything to earn the release he re-
ceived. He owed SIC, 900 at the North
ern Bank OF Kentucky, in the city OF
Lexington, and his note for that
amount had been renewed from time
to time. in spite Of all his efforts to
contrive way 4, meet it-until the
debt became source Of almost
hopeless anxiety to him. Tho thought
OF it intruded upon him everywhere.
and embarrassed his work and wor-
ried his rest. The day for payment
would come again, and find him as
helpless as ever. Demands OF public
duty crowded around him, and Pc
cuniary ENHANCEMENT wore upon
him. He chafed like lion in q net.
Whether or not he ever betrayed his
uneasiness, there were a few who
came to know its secret-and with
results such as he was the Eastman TO
expect. He went into the bank one
morning on the cid errand. :.
Il have called to see about my
debt"
"You don't owe us anything. Mr..
Clay" said the cashier.
"Why-what do you mean?"
Several OF your friends have made
up the money and taken UP your
note. The debt is paid. You don't
owe us anything SIR"
But" Mr.. Clay could say no
more. His eyes filed with tears, and
overcome with emotion he turned and
went out.

the name OF the dead man below,
such as William Rawlins, died sth OF
May; 81 years; Pike County, Mis-
souri,
They were nearly all from Pike
County, Mo-; and so we got tired of
reading SO many Of them. There
were other skulls lying along the
road here and there with little SEN
tences written on them with pencil
stating that So-and-So and So-and.

We used to pick up clean skull our
selves, once in awhile, and write
something Of this kind on it. so that
we might leave a sort OF clue as to
what had become of us, il we should
get killed.
Well, as we were stumbling over
the graves and reading the inscrip-
tions on the skulls, / suddenly saw
great dog rise from a mound at
some distance, and slowly retreat to
another mound still farther off, where
he turned and stared at us. He was
one Of those huge English mastiffs.
ard must have belonged to one OF
the dead men. You could see through
him; no starving wolf could have
been gaunter, and his great protrud-
ing eyes had the widest look YOU
ever saw. He seemed to have lost
his eyes and flesh together, and
looked like the very phantom Of a
dog. We called and whistled to him.
but he never barked-only stared at
us with the same wild look. Then
we went to the grave he had been
lying on, and it was nameless-there
was no skull on it, nothing to mark
1t as a grave except the long coffln-
shape OF the mound.
! We tried for ever so long to coax
the dog even to come and eat some
thing; but he would not come near
us, and would run of In weak, shy
way IL We tried to approach him.
God knows how long he had
been therei We remained a whole
afternoon, just to dig little hole for
water ;or the dog; you could strike
water there at four or five fest, right
among the graves. Then we left some
crackers and dry food for him. and
rode away west.

return to the grave and lie down on
it at full length. as though trying to
guard it. And 1 watched him and

"0nly IN Old Maid"
BY ELIZA NJ. SHERMAN

..Only faded, bent old maid,
Wrinkled, and gray ana old"
A fair one said, as she tossed her head,
With its shining waves of gold.
II might have been fancy,
That mist yeiled all the land,
The blue faded away, and turned TO gray
I'm the Nioets held in my hand.
Those darling blue-cyed violets.
How they prattle all the morn,
OF purple hills, and singing ulls,
OF cool and shadowy corn.
What tales they told of babbling brook,
That in meIodious rhyme
Made love 10 flowers through long bright hours
And stole the vesper's chime.
They brought TO mind dear old face,
With hair like drilted SNOW;
That We laid away one rainy day.
When the brook sobbcd soft and low.
That was the face of my father,
was his only child,
Happy all day, in work or play,
II ON me my father smiled.
There's another face seem to see,
An arm where used to lean.
Brown eyes, bright with tender light,
As he called me darling" ana queen"
Nv hair was like the sunbeams then,
That beautifcd his brow,
Now daises wave above his grave,
Twould almost match them now.
And now am learning slowly,
The lesson of Gods love,
Till the twilight falls, and the Master calls
TO the beautiful home above.
love to think that in that home
VIII come no night or shade,
But Jesus will stand with outStretched hand
TO welcome weary ''old maid"
But see, this Is no fancy,
That over all the land
The mist fadeth away. AID gone il the gray
From the yiolets l hold in my hand.

There are some sixteen whiskey
saloons in town which draw the
greater part of their support, say
some $4,000 per annum. from poor
laboring men. The amount squan-
dered in saloons and for tobacco in
one year, would buy as much land as
all the idle men could cultivate. But
OF course it is preferable fer these
men to spend their earnings for whls-
key and beer and then stand around
grumbling about the hard times.
