a DIFFICULT QUESTION ANSWERED.

"Can any one tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from one Of Adams ribs. a
hired girl wasn't made at the same time to
wait on her?"
\ We can, easys!, Because Adam never
came whining to Eve with a ragged stock
ing TO be darned, a collaristring to, be sewed
on, or a glove to be mended fright AWAY.
quick now!" Because he never read the.
newspaper untiI the sun got down behind
the palhlNtrees, and then stretched himself,
yawning out, Faint supper most ready, my
GEAR! Not Ne. He made the fire and
hung over the. tea-kettle himself, we'll VEN
ture, and pulled the radishes, and peeled the
bananas, and did everything else that he'd
ought to do! lie MIXED the cows, and fed
the chickens, and looked AFTER the pigs him
self. he never brought home half a dozen
friends to dinner. when Eve hadn't any
fresh pomegranates and the mango season
was over. He never stayed out until eleven
O'Clock to a "ward meeting," hnrrahinp for
the o%nt-and-out candidate, and then scolaeda
because poor dear Eve was sitting up and
cryingsinside the gates. TO be sure lie acted
rather cowardly about apple-gathering time,
but then that don't depreciates his general
helpfulness about the garden. He never
played billiards, nor drove fast horses. nor
choked Eve with cigar smoke, He never
loafed around corner groceries while solit,-
~ Eve was rocking little Caip's cradle at
home. In short, he didn't think she was
specially created tor the purpose of waiting
him, and wasn't under the impression
that it disgraceu a man to tighten his wife's
cares a little.
That's the reason that Eve ara not need a \
hired girl, II we wish it was the reason
none of her fair descendants did!

COME UP HIGHER.
BY FRANCES l.. MACE.

O'cr these new Hesperian valleys,
Sought and found 10y treedom's own,
Echoed down the hallowed ages
Came a spirit thrilling tone,
sweet and clear and steadfast lowing
Set not woman here in vain!
Unto us its heavenly meaning-
Come up higher, - the refrain.
Come up higher! By the fountain
Where Rebecca meekly bore
Cool reireshment to the stranger
Resting near her fathers door;
suddenly the message sounded.
And the damsel, speaking low,
Answered, to the wondering ages,
As to Isaac, 81 will go.o
Deborah heard beneath the palm tree,
And her soul in lofty fire
In strong prophecy responded
To the summons, ''come up highcr.,
Miriam heard-the lark red waters
~Shuddering hid the pagan horde,
And with joy of dance and timbrel
Her immortal song was poured.
Not alone to lives heroic
Israel's daughters rose of old;
Fair jeanne, thou shepherd maiden,
BE thy golden story told.
From thy f1ocks divinely summoned.
Ready heart and fearless eye e
Flashed response; the Orleans Lily
For her land could bloom and die.
But I hear q murmur yelling
Up from, depths of patient pain.
Few are strong to wear the laurel,
Few can regal heights maintain;
In the wear and woe of labor
We are many, we are weak,
Ciinging hands and voices hold us
From the good we fain would seek.'r
One who dwelt in white %seclusion
On the fair Judean shore,
Mary answered the evangel
For the lowly evermorc.
- Here am l!' by her exalted
Simple womanhood puts Oh
crown and garland. Shares the honors
by her blcst obedience won.
Give your lips a purer u%tterance!
Give your love u nobler scope!

Up the sunrise hills of hope!
Light, strength, freedom and the gucrdon

beautiful the feet that follow

The Walled Lake In Iowa.

The greatest wonder In the State OF
Iowa, and perhaps any other State. is
what is called the walled Lake." in
Wright county. twelve miles north OF
the Dubuque and Pacific railway. and
l50 miles west OF Dubuque City. The
lake Is from two to three feet higher
than the earth's surface. In some
places the wall is 10 feet high, Is feet
wide at the bottom, and five feet wide
on top. Another fact Is the size OF
the stones used in construction, the
whole OF them varying in weight from
three tons down to 100 pounds. There
is an abundance OF stone in Wright
county, but surrounding the lake to
the extent OF five or ten miles there
arc none. No one can form an idea
as to the means employed to bring
them to the spot or who constructed
1t. Around the entire lake is a belt
OF woodland half mile in length,
composed OF oak. With this excep-
tion the country is a rolling prairie
The trees must have been planted
there at the time OF the building oil
the wall. In the spring OF the year
1856 there was a great storm. and
the ice. on the lake broke the wall in
several places, and the farmers in the
vicinity were obliged to repair the
damages to prevent inundation. The
lake occupies ground surface oi
$500 acres; depth OF water as great
as % feet. The water Is clear and
cold: soil sandy and loamy. 1t IL
singular that no one has been able tc
ascertain where the water goes, YET
1t is always clear and fresh.-Du

A Hint For BOres.

Some time ago there lived gentle
man of indolent habits in Sussex,
who made it q business In the winter
season to visit his friends extensive
ly. After wearing out his welcome in
his immediate vicinity, he thought he
would visit an old Quaker friend
about twenty miles distant. who had
been an old school fellow OF his. On
his arrival he was cordially received
by the Quaker. he thinking his visi-
tor had taken much pains to come SC
far 10 see him. He treated his friend
with great attention and politeness
for several days. and as he did moi
see any sings OF his leaving, he be.
came uneasy but he bore 1t with pa.
tience until the morning OF the eight tf
day, when he said to him:
my friend, | am afraid thee will
never visit me again."
"Ob, yes, SHALL" said the visitor
al have enjoyed my visit very much
l shall certainly come again."
May said the Quaker, 81 think
thee will never visit me again."

CaIeb,s COurtship.

He was in love, was Caleb Gushing,
when people had given him up for a
confirmed old bachelor. The lady
whose attractions razed his objections
matrimonial to the ground was the
very beautiful Miss Virginia Timber
lake, daughter Of the equally beauti-
full Mrs. Eaton. Mr.. Gushing was de-
sperately smitten and paid unfiagging
devotion to his divinity, until one
day the imperious beauty tried on in

same fate. while the third, being more
fortunate, were calmly drawn over
her exquisite hands and fastened
with costly bracelets about her roun-
ded wrists. During the promenade
which ensued, Mr.. Gushing diplomat
ically asked how many pairs ol
gloves a young lady required during
the year. Speaking for myself re.

A most remarkable story comes
from Utica, New York. 1t is set 60
ing by reason Of the death OF Hayes
Hinman, VINO lived two miles from
that city, and died on the Goth, at the
age OF 66 years. Fifty years ago
Hayes heard his father swear at a
member OF the family, and the occur
renee produced such an impression
on the young mans mind that he
made a vow never to speak again.
Seven years later he bruised the fin
gers OF his left hand, and the pain
drew from him the ejaculation "Ohl"
Subsequently, on one occasion, he
saw a snake crawl oyer q sleeping
child, and called out ~Seel" With
these two exceptions he never spoke
q word in fifty years, sorting TO
many ingenious devices to evade the
necessity for talkins. Despite eccen-
tricity he was well liked by all. He
left fortune Of $4,000 to a nephew,
with the Injunction Keep your

A Windy Mau.


The longest speech on record is be-
lieved to have been that made by Mr..
De Cosmos, In the Legislature of Brit
ish Columbia, when a measure was
pending whose passage would take
from great many settlers their
lands. De Cosmos was in a hopeless
minority. The job had been held back
till the eve OF the close OF the session ;
unless the Legislation was taken be-
fore noon OF a given day the act of
confiscation would fail The day be-
fore the expiation OF the Limitation
De Cosmos got the floor about 10
o'clock In the morning, and began a
speech against the bill.
Its friends cared little, for they sup
posed that by or 2 o'clock he would
be through, and the bill could be put
on its passage. One o'clock came,
and De Cosmos was speaking still
had not more than entered upon his
subject. Two o'clock-he was saying
"in the second place." Three o'clock
he produced a fearful bundle of evil
dence, and INSISTED on reading 1t.
The majority began to have a vague
suspicion of the truth-he was going
to speak till next noon, and kill the
bill. For a while they made merry
over it, but as it came on dusk they
began to get alarmed. They tried in
terruptions, but soon abandoned
them, because each one afforded hin
chance to digress and gain time.
They tried to shout him down, but
that gave him breathing space, and
finally they settled down to watch the
combat between strength of will and
weakness OF body. They gave him
no mercy. No adjournment for dinner
no chance to do more than wet hi'
lips with water: no wandering from
his subject; no sitting down. Twi
light darkened; the gas was lignted
members slipped out to dinner in re
lays. and returned to sleep in squads
but De Cosmos went on. The Speak
er, to whom he was addressing him
self, was alternately DOING. snoring
and trying to look wide awake. Da.
dawned. and the majority slipped ou
inssquads to wash and breakfast, ant
the speaker still held on. 1t can't b.
said it wns very logical, eloquent. o
sustained speech. There were digres
sions In 1t, repetlti0ns also. But still
the speaker kept on. At last moo
came to a baffied majority, livid wit
rage and impotence, and single ma

voice had sunk to husky whisper

hours, and saved the settlers thei
