but she has undertaken the task Of
maintaining by her labors an able
bodied husband IN idleness The re-
suit has been that Schmidt, notwith-
standing the fact that he has captured
every cent OF his wife's earnings and
the pension of his mother.in-law, has
still been sadly pinchcd for tho full
quantity of beer which is considered
the perqusite OF every wel.kept wash
erwoman's husband. The women have
worked early and lato, have pinched
themselves in their victuals and have
worn shabby clothes, but all to no pur-
pose. The proud soul of Schmidt has
been repeatedly bumiliated by impe.
curiosity and enforced thirst, and this
creature of luxury and ease, whose
natural element is the sunshine Of
prosperity and enjoyment, has been
obliged TO recoil from moro than one
saloon amid the jeers OF his compan-
ions. His sensitive spirit cbaied under
such trials until gradually feeling Of
settled resentment against the woman
who betrayed him into matrimony
took possession of his mind. He en-.
deavored to satisfy bis vengeance by
beating her occasionally, but finally
when she so far forgot herself as to
conceal her paltry earnings from him

she should look upon herself with that
pity which she would bestow upon any
other neglected and ill.used wife. The

SUNSET IN THE HARTz MOUNTAINS
Standing on the cliff, eight hundred
feet above the valley, We looked down
into its quiet shadows, whore tiny cas-.
cades went lcaping over the stones TO
swell the stream, and across TO Hexen-
tanzplatz-a broad open plateau still
higher than the Rosstrappe-and far
away we saw the weird form Of the
Brocken. dimly visible behind its misty
veil Meadows and green pastures lay
now in sunshine, now in shade from
the light clouds floating above; level
plains studded with cities aud villages
stretched away, and were lost in vapor.
We were hemmed in by mountains,
some OF which were so gaunt and stony
that no smallest plant could grow
thereon, while others were gay with
blossoms and rich with foliage, Sud-
denly one peak after another was lost
in rain; showers were falling oil about
us, the drops glistening like gems in
the sunshine The valley lay in dark
est gloom. and wo were in the midst OF
clear rays from the setting sun. Soon
the tops of the trces-the pale birch,
and dark green frs, pine, oak, and
bcech-were brightly defined against
the sky, where the clouds burst into o
sudden glory of red and gold rain
bow rested on the mountain tops, span
ned the valley, crept down the sides,
and was lost in night far far below.
Elsewhere in tho world there are
loiticr heights, softer landscapes, grand
er waterfalls I; but in variety of tint
and depth Of color, none Of them can
surpass a sunset on the Rossirappe.- =
