that the alcohol does not intlame, as
it will, if the mixture is too hot.
Stir until the liquid is lost in the
mixture, when it should be of the
consistency Of honey. Keep in u
closed bottle and apply with a
brush. If after a month or two it
becomes hard, remelt, add few

changed, except that it grows har-

4 THOUGHT
BY FATHER RYAN .

The Summer Rose the sun has flushed
With crimson glory, may be sweet
'Tis sweeter when it's leaves are crushed
Beneath the winds and teDlpcsts' feet.
The Rose, that waves upon its tree
In life sheds perfume all around
More sweet the perfume floats to me
OF roses trampled on the ground,
The waving Rose with every breath
Scents, carelessly, the summer air
The wounded Rose bleeds forth in death
A sweetness far more rich and rare.
1t is truth beyond our ken
And yet truth that all may read-
1t is with roses as with men
The sweetest hearts are those tha
bleed.
The flower which Bethlehem saw bloom
Out of Heart all full of grace
Gave never forth its full perfume
Until the Cross became its Vase.

Cincinnati Commercial.
OF the many crimes committed
on the sacred soil of Kentucky
there never has been one for rO-
nance of incident, chiyalry of mo-

that Of the Beauchamp affair.
Though transpiring many years
ago, its details have lost none of
their freshness, and the high stand,
ing of the families and their per-
siStont efforts to suppress every
thing relating to it, have tended to
perpetuate its remembrance, and
render it a romance that even at
this late day all KentuCkians love
to talk of and wonder over. The
murderer, or infatuated avcnger of
anothcr's wrongs, was j. o. Beau
champ, the son of a respectable
farmer near Bowling Green. He
was Il young law student of unusual
promise, whose talents and address
had attracted the favorable notice
of the afterward murdered Solo
mon =. Sharpe, at that time
attorney. general of the State.
Young Beauchamp was of ardent
temperament, entertained exalted
ideas OF woman's purity, and once
upon his vacation chanced to meet
Miss Ann Cooke, a beautiful young
lady, who, during his absence in
the pursuit of his studies had, with
a widowed mother, taken up her
residence near his fathers farm.
1t was n case of love at first
sight. Miss Cooke was as rnelan-
choly as a lovers lutte, lived in
great privacy, and her mysterious
movements and Intentional with.
drawal from society threw around
her a halo of mystiticatiOn that
fired the ardor of the law student
and made him a willing slave at her
feet. He called upon, actually
forced himself into her presence,
and borrowed books of her, simply
to afford him an excuse to callagain.
She repelled his advances in man
ner that only lured him on. He
proposed; was rejected she would
never marry. He persisted with
an excess of passion and ardOr that
induced her to tell him her story,
and wrung from him promise of
revenge.
She had been betrayed, she said,
by Col. Sharpe. Her case was a
peculiarly sad one. Col. Sharpe
had been raised in her fathers fam
lily. The sacred rites of hospitality
he had repaid by flching the
daughters virtue. And she, like
many another, became a mother
ere she was a wife. She had been
famed for her beauty, yet her dis
grace had withered its charms and
crippled its powers. Her family
had been wealthy, but adversely
had overtaken them. Her father
and male relatives were all dead.
There was no one to avenge her
wrongs. Beauchamp, tied to her
by the silken cords of desperate
love, as well as by the romantic no.

that urged him to wash ont by as

ed bis intention of calling him ''he

GOOD II TE.

Goodbye! All me The words are weird
As bells that toll for spirits fled.
Goodbye forewarns the goal is neared,
And yet goodbyes are lightly said.
The farewell falls from laughing lips
On ears that idly catch the sound,
As though our lives were buoyant ships,
And years were seas sailed swiftly
round.
Goodbye! All me The words are fraught
With vanished hopes and broken ties,
With lessons all too rudcly taught,
And angry clouds in summer skies.
From heart to heart the words should pass
When friendly hands clasped closely lie;
For swiftly runs the fatal glass,
And surely comes the last goodbye.

From the Washington Post.
The startling rumor of Justice ATiller's
dangerous condition yesterday caused
much excitement and an almost constant
stream of callers at his residence. The
truth is that the gentleman has under
gone an operation, known among sur
geons as a capital one, but was, at a late
hour last evening, doing better even than
could be hoped or expected. He had
been suffering for a considerable time
with stones in the bladder, and though
the family physician DR.. j. G. Riley, had
done all for the case that lay in the ply
sician's power, it lately became evident
that radical means would have to be
adopted to effect cure.
After much consultation and CORE
spOndence the Justice determined to sub

one time contemplated going to England
to place himself under the care of Sir

found that while DR.. Thompson lost

Dr.. Smith had made fifty three entirely
successful operations without losing a

How to succeed,

Before departing for his foreign home,
Bayard Taylor male the following re-
marks respecting the rules Of success,
that are worth their weight in gold to
any and every young mar, as the expert
ence of one whom all delight to honor:
81 have always reverently accepted
them; fir t, labor; nothing can be had for
nothing; whatever man achieves, he
must pay for it; and no favor of fortune
can absolve him from his duty. Secondly,
patience and torbearance; which is SIM
ply dependent on the slow justice of time.
Thirdly, and most important, faith. IN
less man believes in something far
higher than himself, something infinitely
purer and grander than he can ever be-
come-unless he has an instinct of an or
der beyond his dreams. of laws beyond
his comprehension, of beauty, and good,
and justice. beside which his own ideals
are dark, he will fail in every loftier form
OF ambition, and ought to fail.

Portuguese COurtship.

The young men of Portugal have one
Occupation more important than wearing
tight boots, and which amoss, in fact,
goes with it-that OF making the very
mlldest form of love known among men.
The young gentlemen pay their address
es by simply standing in front OF the
house occupied by the object Of their af-
fections, while the young person in
question looks down approvingly from
an upper window, and there the matter
ends. They are not within speaking dis
lance, and have to content themselves
with expressive glances and dumb show,
for it would be thought highly unbe-
coming for the young lady to allow a
6allet-doug to f1utter down into the street,
while the laws of gravitations stand in
the way of the upward flight Of such
document, unweighted, at least, with
stone. and this, of course, might risk
giving the young lady black eye, or
breaking her fathers window panes. So
the lovers there remain, often for
hours, feeling no doubt very happy, but
looking unutterably foolish. These silent
courtships sometimes continue for very
long periods before the lover can ask the
fatal question, or the lazy return the
nal answer.

OF piece of human flesh freshly taken

and intelligence In the spring Of last

At the end of six months the old gentle
man became much worse, whereupon the
young lady cut piece of flesh from her

This remedy proved fatal to the patient;
and his daughter, who had vowed to
sacrifice her life fer his, poisoned herself

dire.

intry sky,
See the spark
Upward fly;
See it grow
In its frame
See 1t glow
tt3. Into flame!
See it burning and blazing;
See it spring into life
With vigor amazing
How it longs for the strife.
Hear the noise and the rattle
How it sWells how it grows,
Like the crash of battle,
Like the clash of the foes!
See it rushing and rising and roaring,
See it trying to touch tall star;
1t seems in the sky to be soaring
Like flag of fierce flame from afar,
See it turning and burning and Drawing
See it streaming and cleaning and re-" I!
All! the smoke in the airnow is waving
Like winding sheet Of dull lead.
Hear it laugh with wild glee at each futile
endeavor
To quench Or to quell its exuberant force;
Ii is flaming and free and fantastic forever;
It delights and cxults with no pang OF re-
morse,
With no pain, with but passion-mad pass
ion it quivers
With it's pennon of scarlet, the bloodlest
hue,
With It's cleaning streams and its rearing
rivers
It dares to do all things that flame dares
do.
How it darts, how it dances and dashes,
AS though it had taken for aim
To reduce all the world into ashes
And to fling all the stars into flame!
1t is showing its wonderful daring
1t is turning the sky into hell!
How it lazily fingers
With its swell and its fall;
With its fiery fingers
Weirdly Weavinfi PAIL
With it's blistering kisses
On face and ON form!
OF it's flashes
Bercft,
Only ashes
Are left;
Till it's cries
Tell its doom
And it dies
In the gloom.
/ have told you the tale of the terrible fire;
It has sung its last song to ITS luminous Tyre,
1t has sung its last song, it has breathed its
last breath,
1t has lived without life, it has died without
death. Appletnn Journal for July.
