IN THE LAST PEW.

She sits, bent DER, with wrfnkled face,
Poor and forlornly old; no grace
SmoOthS the sharp angles of her form,
Long buffeted by lifes slow storm.
All else around is fine and fair;
The stained light falls IA golden glare,
In seeming mockery on her loose, gray hair.
The preacher, faultlessly arrayed,
Tells how our hearts afar have Straycd,
And how all souls should be content
With those good blessings God has sent,
Hangs on his words, nor deems them long,
And humbly thinks only her heart is wrong.
She meekly mumbles DER the hymn,
Her eyes with age and tear drops dim;
What can their gay world hold for her
This worn and weary worshiper?
Now, rustling down the aisleS in pride,
They toss bright smiles on every side,
Nor does she know the hurts such fair looks
hide.
And still she sits, with tear wet face,
As loath to leave that sacred place;
The organ, with quick thunders riven,
Lifts her sad, trembling soul to heaven;
She feels sense of blissful rest,
Her bony hands across her breast
She clasps and slowly signs; "God knoweth
best"
One day, within some grander gate
Where kings and ministers must wait,
While she hopes humbly for low place
Far from the dear Lords shining face,
Above the chant of heavenly choir
Those words may sound, with gracious fire !:
well done, good, faithful servant, come up
higherr

The Philosophy Of Blowing Out a
.SgS0 Candle.

If we blow a fire it burns more fiercely.
but if We blow candle it goes out.
These two facts taken together are a
familiar illustration of the influence of
temperature upon chemical affinity. In
both cases, that of the fire and that of
the candle, the burning is the combining
OF carbon and hydrogen with oxygen.
Now cold carbon or hydrogen may lie
In contact with oxygen for any length of
time without combining with either, but
If the substances are made red-hot they
instantly enter into chemical combina-
ton. When a candle is burning, the
heat generated by the combustion con-
stantly raises new quantities of the ma
terlal to the temperature at which COM
bination with oxygen will take place,
and thus the, combustion is kept up.
But if current of air of temperature
far below the combustion point is thrown
against the flame, the hot vapors are
swept away, and others which are rising
In their place are so cooled that COM
bination with oxygen no longer con-
tinues; in other words, the candle ceases
TO burn. On the other hand, when we
blow large fire, the mass of burning
combustion is so great, that instead of
the carbon, and hydrogen being cooled.
the oxygen is heated, and the connbina-s
ton is made more active; in other
words, the fire burns more fiercely,-

hand An unfinished letter of her own

band. An unfinished letter of her own
to some friend in the East, and dated
few DAYS previous to her death, showed
that to this poor, lost creature, with the
grasp of death upon her, there had come
back to her the glory of her first and
only pure love, and the unconquerable
desire to die at his feet, freed from the
burden of his curse. Strangely enough,
another letter gave information of Bill
Armstrong, and stated that he was iv-
ing near Boise City, in Idaho. These
two I read to the desperate man who sat
before me, his burning eyes cleaning
with pain and his lips mute with anguish.
When l ceased, he grasped my hand
with, "Thank yer, stranger" and left
the room. l watched him mount his
horse and ride out into the black night.
The Wolf was again on the trail.
The circumstances l have related were
wildly recalled to my mind during my
present visit to Battle Mountain by casu-
ally overhearing an account of a fatal
shooting affair between Bill Armstrong,
mining speculator, and Joe the Wolf,
at Boise City, in 1878. The details of
the rencounter | give in the words of
the narrator, who was an eyewitness:
"Joe met Armstrong on the street,
and with the single exclamation, I'm
Aggie's husband!' pulled and fired.
From some unaccountable reason he
missed. Armstrong returned the fire,
shooting Joe plump through the heart.
He fell on one knee, and for a second
swayed like reed before the storm.
Grand in his physical strength, in the
power of his hate, he recovered himself.
As from his ashen lips rang the old cry,
'It's IA inches between my eyes, and l
smell like wolff he fired, killing Arm
strong instantly, and fell upon his face
dead
Thoughtfully, to-day, l sought the
pauper's field, and stood before the
rude pine headboard which bore the
name of her whose weakness had de-
stroyed three lives. 1t was almost hid
den by clumps of sage-brush, which,
unsightly and pallid green, were fitting
growths of unhallowed ground.
The old story of shame and sorrow,
common in all the epochs of the world
as the grains of sand that drifted over
her lonely, uncared-for grave. Yet
rarely is the recompense for sin so ter
ribly melted out us in the tragic end and
hayward, bitter lives of Joe and Aggie

Advice to a Whistler.

: SomeStlmes, my son, you will want to
whistle. Do not entirely repress this
desire to aspirate your feelings in sibbi-
liant strains of wheezy music; merely
modulate and regulate it. Go off into
the woods five or six miles from any
habitation, if the desire comes upon you
during business hours, and whistle there
until the birds make you ashamed of
your poor accomplishment. Do not
yield to the temptation too readily, lest
you become addicted to the habit and
become slave to it, and go whistling
around even as a man who has lost
dog. There are men, my son, who can
whistle unsteady; once in awhile you
find men whose whistle is pleasant to
the ear and soothing to the soul, but you
only find one of these men every three
or four thousand years, and they die
young, son; they die very young. You
will observe that the best whistler is he
who whistles least, and practices in soil
tude. The poor whistler, who flats on
the high notes and gasps on the lower
ones, and wheezes in the middle regis
ter, is the man who whistles at all
times and in all places. Whistle
all you will in solitary places,
son, if it pleases you, whistle in
the night as you go home, if you will,
for CHEEKY whistle in the dark is
pleasant sound unto the listening soul of
the belated passenger, but when you
come into the assemblages and the bust
ness haunts of men, unpucker your mu-
steal lips and shut up your whistle in
your heart. And if ever the temptation
comes to you to whistle against the edge
of a card, crush it out, Of the effort kills
you. Whistling is not lofty nor yet
useful, although it is universal, ac-
complishment. Though you practice
hundred years, and though you whistle
never so whistley, my son, yet the COM
monest switch-engine that ever scared
human being deaf, can beat you at it.
The great and good were never great
whistlers, son. George Washington
never sat in a friends office, with his
feet on the window sill, whistling
Grandfather's Clock" against the edge
of a card. Strive to emulate George
Washington, and although you may new
er be first in war, first in peace, and first
in the hearts of your countrymen, yet
fame will not forget you if they can
write upon your tombstone that you
never whistled your countrymen into
commissions of Incorporate but fruitless
profanity Burdette, in the Haa0Eeye. n

AUTUMN.

The rich autunal shadows fall;
The first brown leaf wheels slowly GOWN,
And all along the orchard wall
The MOSES gather deeper brown.
Through all the rounded golden hours
No sound steals in from village street,
Alone the chimes from distant towers
Float hourly through my still retreat.
Across the vale, the rugged hills
Are starting from their summer gloom,
And bursting heather glows and fills
Their skyward curves with purple bloom
Again with Autumn comes the time
When you and would cross the vale,
And reach the mountain foot and cl1inD
Till stars renewed the evening tale.
/ wander still where Nature haunts
Her secret places seldom sought;
But even Nature something wants
A subtle something, deeply wrought.
And here alone sit, and now
Thy voice is hushed; but those dear eyes
That flashed beneath thy brave boy brow,
Are haunting me as daylight dies.
The sun slopes slowly to his rest,
This soft September afternoon,
Till all the color leaves the West,
And sleeps the world in twilight gloom.

Results Of the Mississippi Jetties.

Mr.. E. L. Corthell, the resident en-
gineer at Port Eads, in an Illustrated pa
per in the November Scribner, writes as
follows concerning the practical benefits
OF Capt. Eads's work at South Pass:
1t is not too broad an assertion to
make that every theory advanced by
Capt. Eads, every statement made by
him in reference to the channel which
he should secure, and in reference to
the bar in front of his works, has been
fully verified by actual results. These
results are all that the most sanguine
anticipated, but the objects for which
the jetties were built are of far greater
Importance, for they affect the welfare
of millions and are destined finally to
exert an influence on the whole country.
These objects will be realized in de-
velopment and in an increasing pros
perity of the Mississippi Valley. The
work which has been accomplished will
stretch its relieving and assisting hand
to the remotest frOntiersman, who,
knowing that an open riyer-mouth will.
make it profitable for him to raise ce-
reals, will cut down new forests and cul-
tivate larger farm. 1t will induce
greater production everywhere in the
Mississippi Valley, and with it an in
creasing immigration.
Already the grain export of the Valley
is turning into this, its natural channel.
The following table, compiled from Of
fetal sources, win show the tendency to
increasing shipments of cereals by way
of the jetties: 5gesatts -

WHEAT IN BULK.

It is estimated that the jetties, by par
tally improving the channel at the
mouth of the river, saved the country
$780, 900 during the year ending Sept.

It must be borne in, mind that the

UNKNOWN DIsEAsEs.-A new disease
has broken out among the children at
Berlin, of a very fatal nature. 1t be-
gins with a sort of stupefaction, the
change in the blood being remarkable.
DIR. Wiackel made missions in some
eases, and only after pressure could
squeeze out few drops, the blood hav-
ing become thick, brown-black fluid
of a sirupy consistency. At London an
other new disease has broken out, due.
many think, to impure water. 1t is a
form of cypress fever, and termed
" detephobia, and, though it is seldom
fatal, the sufferer remains but a shadow
of his former self. hs ssfsssi
