/ NiNELESS G0VERNESS.

A sunset on the sea, the blue
waves tinged with the last fare
we'll glow, lying bathed in golden
radiance, and a girl standing
watching the white-capped break
ers that rolled almost to her. feet.
a tall, slender girl ofseyenteen,
with amber eyes and bronzo-b brown
hair, with low, white brow, and
tender, smiling lips-a girl scarce
ly more than a child in her per-
feet faith and trust.
And while.she stood there, Den
zil Orme came to her, dark eyed,
handsome youth, who loved this
brown.eyed girl better, far better,
than ever his life.
Who she was, this lovely, am
ber-eyed girl, was never known !;
all that could be gathered was
that seventeen years before a wo-
man, young and fair, had come to
the cottage Of 'Denzil Orme's
father, and had asked shelter for
herself and her dark. eyed baby-a
shelter that was freely given-and
the poor young mother had died
there, leaving her child to stran-
gers.
You will keep my little Eve 2
she said to Mrs. Orme, and kind
heartcd Mrs. Orme promised.
She died, and the little stranger
took the place, as far as possible,
of Mrs. Orme's own baby girl,
who lay sleeping beneath the
flowers.
And now she was going away
among strangers. It was her own
wish she should; but Eve knew
that money troubles had come to
Farmer Orme, and it was the time
she should cease to be a burden to
them.
Eve Denzll said, gravely, do
YOU know how we shall miss you

'Only for a little while, Denzil ;
for I will come back to sec you so
often that you will barely miss me
at all. Mother will miss me most,

And then remember, SOP, that
the world is older than you are,
by several years that for thou
sands Of years it has been sofull
Of smarter and better young men
than yourself that their feet stuck
out of the dormer windows; that
when they died the old globe went
whirling on, and not one man in
ten million went to the funeral or
even heard Of the death. Be as
smart as you can, ofcourse. Know
as much as you can, without
blowing the packing out Of your
cylinder heads; shed the light Of
your wisdom abroad in the world,
not don't dazzle people with it.
Aud don't imagine a thing is so
simple because you say it is. Don't
be too sorry for your father be-
cause he knows so much less than
you do; remember the reply Of
DR.. Wayland to the student of
Brown University, who said it
was an easy enough thing to make
proverbs such as Solomon wrote.
"Make few" tcrsely replied the
old man. And we. never heard
that the young man made any.
Not more than two or three any
how. The world has great need
of young men, but no greater need
than the young men have Of it.
Your clothes fit you better than
your fathers fit him !; they cost
more money, they are more sty-

ES0Vg a PAPER Is MADE.

E5ovg = PAPER Is MADE.
"Pray, how is a paper made"
The question is easy to ask,
But to answer it fully, my dear,
Were rather difficult task;
And yet in bsntering way,
AS the whip -poor-will sings in the glade,
I'll venture bit Of lay
To tell how paper is made.
An editor sits at his desk,
And ponderS the things that appear
To be claiming the thoughts of the world
Things solemn, and comic, and queer
And when he has hit on theme
lie judges it we'll to parade,
He writes, and he writes, and he writes,
And that's how paper is made.
An editor sits at his desk,
And puzzles his brain to make out
Photographic" so squabbled and mixed,
1t is hard to tell what it's about.
Exchanges are living around,
While waiting dispatches delayed,
He clips, and he clips, and he clips,
And that's how a paper is made.
An editor out in the town,
In search Of the things chat are new
The things that tie people have done,
The things they're intending to do
Goes peering and prying about,
For items Of many q grade;
He tramps, and he tramps, and he tramps,
And that's how paper is made.
And all that those workers prepare,
Ofevery conceivable stripe,
Il sent to the printer, and he
Proceedeth to stick it in type.
His lines, all respecting his will,
In slow-moving columns parade
He sticks, and he sticks, and he sticks,
And that's how paper is made.
In short, when the type is all set,
Ard errors cleared up more or less,
'Tis "locked in form," asthey say,
And hurried away to the press.
The pressman arranges his sheets,
His ink gives the requisite shade,
Then he prints, and he prints, and he prints,
And that's how paper is made.

and this fair, proud heiress of
the Wcstcrton wealth are one and
the same.
It had been sudden-the change
in her life. A lonely governess
for six weary months, and then
her adoption by Mr.. Westertou
for her strange likeness to some
friend he had loved in his youth,
lie took her abroad for her
health, he said, but in reality to
give her the polish Of foreign man
ners.
And when she came back she
learned that the old folks at the
farm were dead, and that Denzll
had gone abroad.
Two years after, Mr.. Westerton
died, leaving all his vast wealth
to the child Of his adoption.
And the years passed on till
girlish Eve was a woman Of TWEEN
! ty-six, so rarely, sweetly fair,
that men tell in love with her
even though knowing it hopeless,
and women envied the beautiful
face, that won all hearts so easily.
In the reception parlo" she re-
ceived her guests among fair wo-
men, the fairost, haugbtiest, queen
licst of all, by right of her royal
beauty.
In tie shadow Of one of the
-draped windows stood Philip
Fenton, talking to a dark, noble
looking man. gentleman who
had como with some friends of
Miss Westerton.
He would scarcely be called a
handsome man, yet there was
some rare attraction in his grave,
dark eyes and thoughtful smile.
Neither of the gentlemen no.

gray, that stood quietly watching
the dancers, in the shade of the

1t is q good thing to see you

free p
'Free-yes,' the other answered.

was not your wife, Philip, I would
have returned years ago.
4 laugh broke from Fenton S
lips.
No, thank goodness! To tell
the truth, Orme, I thought little
Eve very winning. Lick
cuse me; what l meant to say
was, never till within this year
have I known what it was to love
q woman, and now

so pure and true, could ever loyo

She was very fond Of purple

Philip laughed again.

A sweet clear voice interrupted
them, and a graceful woman, in
silken tissue, with gold and
amethyst bands oncircling her
rounded throat aud arms, and
violets in ber waving hair, stood
before them.
'Dcnzil, l am here! Heaven has
taken care Of me all these years.

Philip grew deadly pale.

She turned quickly.
Miss Westerton to you, but al
ways Eve to you, Denzil, turning
to Denzil again.
Six months later, when Miss
Westerton had changed her name
to Orme, her husband showed her
a bunch Of faded purple violets.

back again.

them until we meet again p
Without u word she untastencd
the dainty cluster, then, raising
them to her lips, she kissed them,
and laid them iu his hand.
x little later Philip Fenton
came down to the sea-shore-
handsome, naughty Philip Fen
ton, whom this girl first idealized,
then learned TO idolize with all
the fervor of her heart.

Philip she said.

down on his shoulder and kissed
the rosy mouth.

Some purple violets still clus-
tered at her. breast.

All was light and splcndor in
the stately home of Miss Westcr-
ton, and that lady herself stood
dressed in her bouQoir for the
grand reception that would soon
begin.
A tall, graceful woman of twen-
ty-six, with a face Of almost per-
feet beauty, from the low; white
brow to the daintily rounded chin
with great amber eyes, and bronze
bright hair, and crimson, curving
lips.
She went over to a desk aad
took from it two letters and 3
bunch Of faded flowers.
She opened one Of tbs letters

She smiled--a quiet little smile,
and then she opened the other,
and it was tho same elegant hand,
but the ink was faded, the paper
yellow with age.
The smile on her lips deepened
to one of scorn as she read, for
perhaps the thlrtieth time in her
life, the few short lines

How to Act in Case OF Fire.

First, do not be alarmed on account OF
smoke. Frequently there is great deal
of smoke before the fire has made much
progress. Remember that one can pass
through smoke by keeping his head near
the floor, or by enveloping it in wet
wooden cloth. On entering room to
fight down fire single-handed, keep the
door closed behind if possible. A pail
of water and tin dipper, in the hands
of resolute person, can be made to
work a miracle at the beginning.
If the fire has progressed too far
to admit of this course, and it is
necessary to depend on outside help,
then see to it that every door
and window is closed. By so doing
where there is a fre-engine in the neigh
borhood, it will often be possible to
confne the fire to one room. Every
person who stops at hotel should take
special pains before retiring to note the
location of the stairways, SO that in case
of an alarm he can find his way out,
even though the halls are filed with
smoke. Never leave room where there
is an alarm of fire without first securing
wet towel, or, if possible, wet sponge
OF piece of woollen cloth, through which
to breathe. If escape by the stairs is
cut of, seek an outside window and stay
there till help comes. ~1.....

AmbideXtrOus.

There is something more significant
than most persons think in the cleft"
hand. We give all our nice work to
one hand, and thus train it to strength,
celebrity and skill, and leave the other to
feebleness and awkwardness. Indeed,
children are generally trained to one
handedness almost from infancy. II
both hands were trained alike, they
would be alike. Even the toes can be
trained to the dexterity of the fingers.
In musical education both hands are
equally trained for the keys of the piano
and organ. ,- :" a"4-e
Now in many employments much
would be gained by being able to use
either hand with equal facility, and
often both at the same time. Brown
Sequard, one of the most eminent of
modern writer's on physiology, urges
that children be educated on both sides
of the body equally; and Agassiz adj
vised his pupils to train both sides
alike, Notwithstanding they had been
brought up to the special use Of one
side. Most adults would find it difficult
to change the old habit, but with the
young it would only be matter of care
and attention for comparatively short
! time.

Russia as an Oil.Producing Country.

Russia promises to become formid-
able rival to the United States in the
European oil market. Oil wells near
the Caspian sea are reported to equal in
their yield the greatest wells in Pennsyl-
vania. In the oil-producing region in
Russia, large number of wells have
been sunk, and great many more are
under wau. Reports from there say that
there is as much excitement over the
discoveries as existed in Pennsylvania
when tho Ill fever was at its height.
The wells are SKILLED and pumped in the
most primitive manner, and a large
amount of oil is wasted through the
want of proper means of saving it. At
present the only way of getting the oil
to market is by way of the Volga and
the Russian canals to st. Petersburg.
If railroad should be constructed from
the Caspian to the Black sea, a distance
of 400 miles, Russia, it is thought, could
supply the European market at such
rates as to drive out the American
trade.-Sa,a Francisco Commercial

as Told by an Old Soldier.
from an English paper.l
It appears, however, from Forest and
Stream, that the New York shot manu-
facturers, Messrs. latham Bros, occa-
sionally found bullets welded together
in the scrap-lead brought from the bat
tie fields of the American civil war, and
Lieut.. Col. John A. Mclaughlin recent
~ forwarded two bullets to the Scie7s-
tJic american 80 impacted in each
other, which were also picked up on the
same fields. He says that at the time of
the retreat of the Federal Gen. N. P.
Banks, after his defeat in attempting to
capture Shreveport, La, in the summer
Of 1864, he Nieut. Col. Mclaughlin
was in command of one of the retreat
ing regiments. A portion of his regi-
ment was thrown forward on the flank
of the main body, in skirmishing
order. These two bullets, he
says, we're impacted in the air
between his skirmishers and the Skin
mishers of the, enemy and fell like a
spent ball near the head of the column
Of the main body. A Drum Major, see-
ing the missile fall near him, picked it
up, thinking it to be spent bullet, but
found the two bullets welded together.
He afterward presented it to, Lieut..
| Col. Mclaughlin. One Of the bullets
belonged to a larger-bore rife than the
other, and the larger on. is stated to
have belonged to the Confederates, as it
was Of a caliber then known to be much
used by Their, and somewhat larger in
bore than the rifles used by the North
erners. It is supposed that the larger
bullet had travelled shorter distance
than the smaller at the instant of i'm.
pact, and possibly had been propelled
by a superior quality or quantity Of
powder. This, together with it's weight
is thought to have had the effect o.
driving the smaller bullet back beyond
| the line from which it was fred.
