She Saw.

A tacky sort Of boy stood in front OF
q house on Sproat street for a full quar-
ter of an hour. gently rubbing his sore
heel against the fence -pickets and think
ing deeply, but there was a well-counter-
feited look of alarm on his face as his
vigorous pull at the bell got the woman
of the house to the door.
"What is it ?" she asked as he looked
this way and that and danced around.
"Put down yer winders-bolt yer
doors-yard all full of lions /" he re-
piled as he skipped for the gate.
She uttered little scream and disap'
peared, and for half an hour that house
was as tightly closed as post-office box
on the upper tier. Then the won an
cautiously put her head out, gazed
around, grew bolder, and finally appear
en- in the front yard. She looked about
her, her chin trembling little, but by
degrees q peculiar look stole over hei
face.
"Yes-um-I see |" she snapped ai
she turned to go in. "The boy saw
those tiger-lilies and played q game OF
me. UNI see !"
She never thought Of dandelions.-

Left Behind.

We started in the morning. morning full Of
glee,
All in the early morning, goodly company,
And some were full Of merimeut and all we're
kind and dear ..'....
But the others have pursued their way, and
left me sitting here. ..t..
My feet were not 50 feet as theirs, my courage
soon was gone,
And 80 Jagged and fell behind, although they
cried, Come ON p ...
They cheered me and they pihed me, but one
by one went by, p
For the stronger must Outstrip the weak there
is no remeky.
Some never looked behind, but smiled, and
swiftly, hand in hand,
Departed with strange sweet Joy could not
understand
l know not by what silver streams their roses
bud and blow,
But l am gIad-oh /! very glad-they should be
happy SO.
And some they went companionless, yet not
alone, it seemed,
For there were sounds of rustling wings, and
songs-or else we dreamed;
And glow from lights invisible to us lit up
the place,
And tinged as il with glory each dear and part
ing face.
SO happy, happy, did they look, as one by one
they went,
That we, who missed them sorely, were fain to
be content
And I, who sit the last of all, left far behind,
alone,
Can not be sorry for their sakeO, but only for
my own.
Ny eyes seek out the different paths by which
they went away,
And oft wish to follow, but oftener wish to
stayj
For fair as may the new things be, the farther
things they know,
This is pleasant resting place, pleasant
place also.
There are flowers for the gathering which grow
my path anear,
The skies are fair, and every where the sun is
warm and clear;
1 may have missed the wine of life, the strong
wine and the new,
But have my wells of water, my sips Of honey
dew.
So when turn my thoughts from those who
shared my dawn Of day,
Ny fresh and Joyous morning prime, and now
are passed away,
can see just how sweet all is, how good, and
be resigned
To sit thus in the afternoon, alone and left
behind

A Diplomatic Retreat.

About ten o'clock this morning chap
went into @ street saloon, and devoted
ten minutes in very jealous manner to
the lunch table. By the time he had
masticated abont pound of corned beef
the barkeeper stepped up and remarked:
"This table is for drinkers. y"
"Then why don't you bring on your
drinks? I've been here ten minutes,
and haven't got drop of anything. If
it's drinkin' table, where's the fluid ?"
81 mean it's for the patrons OF the
bar" said the barkeeper.
"Then why amt they here? I s'pose
you mean that man must spend money
at the bar before he eatsa"
Exactly" ......,
"That takes me in. I took drink
here last summer and didn't eat mouth
full, and if I amt entitled to lunch on
that drink then this system must be a
failure all round"
"But the place has changed hands
since then" said the barkeeper, picking
up bung-starter. .-..as.
"Ah, indeed !" replied the urbane
hummer " that fact, as your gesture
would imply, raises new and embar-
RAISING complication in our diplomatic
relations. I will, therefore, recede, as
it were, from my original position, and
await the assembling of the Peace Con-
gress.

A Dream Fulfilled.

That dreams are often fulfilled in a
remarkable manner is exemplified in a
case which has just come to our knowl-
edge in this city. A young man who
occupies responsible position in a cor
poration having an Office at the North
End not long since found that his cash
account was short to the amount of
twenty dollars. AS he is careful and
orderly, the circumstances troubled him,
and his mind dwelt upon the occurrence
frequently. The other night he retired,
and probably thought Of the affair be-
fore sleeping, for he had dream, clear
and distinct, that the lost money wa
under his desk in the office. In ths
morning his dream came vivIpiy to him,
and upon going to his placesdf business
he secured the aid OF another man in the
Office, the desk was removed, and lol
there was the long lost money, at least
eight cents of it. The young man feels
quite encouraged, and thinks that If
such dreams occur frequently enough he
will eventually recover the whole amount
lost.-Ne,o Bedford Standard.

A Gold Hunters Fate

A miner in the Black Hills says the
Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise, writing to
q friend in this city says that recently,
while he and two others were crossing
the country, they came upon the skeleton
of horse within which was the skeleton
of q man, with the grinning skull look
ing out at them from between the ribs
of the animal, like prisoner peering
through the bars of his cell. The two
skeletons told the whole story. The man
had killed his horse, cut him open and
crawled inside of him, thinking TO thus
escape perishing of cold, but the flesh
of the animal froze solid, and the man
was as much a prisoner as if he had been
shut in by walls Of iron. The wolves
and carrion birds had stripped the
greater part OF the flesh from both skele-
tons. The miner concludes his descrip-
tion by saying: at was sight shall
never forget. I can see it now whenever
/ close my eyes.

LOVER THE WIRES"

First, 1 must tell you who 1 am, and
how | came to be in the Baysville Bank
in the "wee sma' hours" one dreary
December night, some three years ago.
My name was then Olive Hudson, and
was seventeen years old that same
December night, and so small that Mrs.
Knights Dolly, who was not twelve
years old, was half q head taller than
myself.
We were rich folks once, but father
lied and left us very poor. Mother
struggled along in weary hand-to, hand
fight with poverty till I was sixteen,
and then died. She had rented two
rooms of Mrs. Knight, widow, also, with
two stalwart sons, au aged father, and
two daughters. After mother died 1
was adopted by the Knights, and, al
though was earning support as music
teacher in the Baysville Academy, I
was like one of the family when I was
in my good landlady's home.
They were all in good positions, but
by no means an aristocrstic family.
John, the eldest son, was in New York
wholesale sugar house Tom was
the night watchman of the Baysville
Bank building, and grandpa--we all
call him grandpa-was telegraph ope-
rator of the town, while Mary was a
milliner, and Dolly stayed at the office,
sending and receiving messages.
Baysville Bank building was a large
granite structure, containing the post
Office and the bank on the first floor,
the telegraph Office and a number of
private law Offices on the second floor,
and other private Offices on the third
floor. In the basement were post-office
rooms for sorting the mail, and also the
large bank vault. .a ilrL t-
knew the building well, for / was
fond of telegraphing, and spent half my
leisure time perched up beside grandpa,
while he slept peacefully or read the
newspapers. gs N 1e
And that was the beginning of my
amusement at Dryden, the next station.
The operator at Dryden was wit, and
flashed nonsense at our Office when bust
ness was dull. 1t fell flat when grandpa
was in the Office, but if ! were there !
sent back jest for jest, and sometimes an
hour slipped by like minute as we
talked over the wires of every topic un-
der the sun. He called himself "Lion,"
aud I, for nonsense, signed myself
elephant" laughing as | did so at the
reflection OF my tiny fingers in the Office
mirror. ...
Beyond Dryden, and only five miles
from Baysville, was G., large com
mercial town, the nearest railway station,
and where an office was always open fol
the accommodation OF travellers.
As I have said, Tom Knight was The
night watchman of Baysville Bank
building, and lonely time he had OF it.
The last mail came by stage at four Q
clock in the afternoon, and the post
office was vacated at six. The banl
closed at three, and by six o'clock ever,
office was deserted for the night.
AT seven Tom was on duty, and grand
pa who was restless at night, was IL

Chillicothe Gazette:
We have in the past had something to
say, and that in plain language, about the
management of the affairs of the Dayton
& Southeastern Railroad. In doing so,
we have acted, as we thought, for the best
interests of the road. We want the road,
and welcome any proposition looking to
its early completion to this city, and to the
coal-felds.
A proposition to complete the road from
Musselman's to this city has been made
by some of the bondholders, and it is
this: If the subscribers to the stock IN
this county who have, as yet, not paid up,
will sign an agreement to pay an amount
sufficient to complete the grading from
Musselman's to this city; nothing to be
paid, however, until the cars are runningi
certain parties stand ready to furnish the
funds necessary to pay for right Of way,
ballasting and ironing of the road.
This is fair proposition, and should
be accepted by our people in the spirit in
which it is offered. DR.. Lair has been in
duced to circulate the book, although it is
not any part of his duty as agent of the
Company, but in his anxiety to see the
road completed he has consented. He has
already secured over one-half of the nee
essary amount, and if some friends of the
road will lend him helping hand, the
whole amount required will be easily OBJ
tanned, and parties are waiting to go to
work, willing to take these promises-to-
nav tor the work when completed.
Now then, very little exertlon Will
secure the money, and the road can be
completed to this city before Christmas.

Madison NIIlls, Ohio.

EDS. HERALD:
The members of Madison Grange, to-
gether with quite number of visitors,
assembled at the Grange Hall, Wednes-
day evening, Aug. 14th, to celebrate the
59th anniversary of the birth of our wor-
thy Gate-keeper, VIM. McCafferty.
After an address of welcome to the Wis
itors, by our worthy Chaplain, brother
Noble, we were regaled sumptuousIy on
the most luxurious viands of the season.
When the feast was over and the dishes
cleared away, we were again assembled
in the Hall, for one of those grand social,
good times, which only grangers know
anything about; and thus half an. hour
was whiled away pleasantly and profta-
bly, to all.
Worthy Master F. L. Smith then called
the meeting to order; and, after few re-
marks relating to the life of brother Nc
Cafferty, proceeded to talk of the beauty
and ability of the Grange. He remarked
that Madison Grange was organized in
1873, with membership of 2S, and that,
with the exception of one sister, who has
since departed this life, all of the Char
ter members are living workers in the
Grange. Since 1878 our membership has
constantly increased, and we now num-
Der nearly one hundred.
Brother Smith was followed by brother
Kellough, of Madison county, in brief
address.
Sister McCafferty then came forward,
with neatly tied up bundle in her hand,
and said: "WOrthy Master, the brothers
and sisters of this order feel that they
owe to you debt of gratitude, for your
energy and constancy in the Grange, and
/ have been commissioned by them to
present to you new suit of clothes. Will
you accept them?"
Brother Smith replied in neat little
speech, expressing his surprise and graf
itude.
Among the visitors present, were Bo-
man Hess and lady and Mr.. Gillespie and
lady, of Washington; Chas. McCatferty
and family, of New Holland; c. A. Mace
and lady, Mrs. NJ. b. Mace, II. Richart

Forty minutes after that he emerged

tish-pole, bound up the river. In the

and he was just lighting a twenty cent

''Mary, have ever deceived yOu?'' he
plaintively asked. ''I never have. As
proof of my sincerity you can take this
basket to the asylum yOurself!''
"And I'll do IT," she promptly replied
as she relieved him of it.
"Mary, hadn't you-?"
''No, sir, hadn't. You'd better hurry
up with that fish-pole, as the man may
want it, and be careful how you stand
around in the hot sun!''
She left him there. He watched her
take the car for home, and then he re-
turned the fish-pole and crossed the street
and said to an acquaintance:
''TOm, Pm suffering with neuralgia and
the excursion is off till next week. Too
bad, but we can never tell what day may
bring forth.''
There was chicken and pickles and 9TH
er good things on the table at dinner, but
he never smiled. Even when his wife
wished she was an orphan, if that was the
way they were fed, he never betrayed the
gloom in his heart. 1t was only when she
handed him the bottle he had SO carefully
tucked into the basket and he saw it Ia
beled, 'FGood for Little Children" that
he said:
"Mary, it is an awful thing for wife
to get the impression that her husband is
a cold-blooded liar.'
"It must be,' she replied, as she took
the other chicken leg.
