A Mystery Explained.

Parlor scene Mrs. Brown, who has
spent the summer among the White
Mountains in search of health, and
who seems to have searched the
whole mountain side without being
able to find a pair CT blooming cheeks
or an inch of healthful skin: Mrs.
White, who has remained at hom be-
cause her husband could not afford to
60, but whose fresh complexion and
bright eyes seem to have caught their
bloom and brightness from mountain
breezes.
Mrs. B.-Dear me Mrs. White how
well you are looking! If you will
not think me impertinent, let me
ask how you can keep SO healthy in
this dreadful city? l have been to
the White Mountains, go there every
summer, in fact, and I can't keep off
the Doctors list at that.
Mrs. W. (smiling.)-Tll tell you
the whole secret, Mrs. Brown. You
remember how poor | was last spring,
some days even being confined to my
bed. Dr.-told Mr.. White to send
me to the mountains, but I knew he
couldn't afford it, and l tried DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its
effects were so marvellous that | also
tried his Golden Medical Discovery,
to cleanse my system. In my opin-
ion, one bottle Of the Prescription
and the discovery is better than SIX
weeks of the White Mountains for
sick woman. l have only been out
of the city week during the whole
summer; then my husband and I went
to Buffalo and stopped at DR.. Pierce's
Invalids' and Tourists Hotel. The
Baths and mechanical apparatus for
treating patients were alone worth
going to see. Besides, our acoommo-
dations were better than we had at
Long Branch last year and the drives
and scenery are superb. Let me adj
wise you to use Dir. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription and try the invalids and
Tourists Hotel next summer instead
of the White Mountains.

A True Helpmeet.

The "judicious Hooker, the greatest of English divines, committed a fatal blunder in choosing wife. She was an ignorant and selfish woman, and an iuveterate scold, like Xantippe, the wife of Socrates. She delighted to call him from the study, or from visitors, to rock the cradle.
 The late Prof. Agassiz was more for t1nate. Much of his brilliant success in life may be fairly ascribed to the rare helper of his home. He was naturally, in his enthusiasm for study, little de- f,ient in order and business habits.
 She supplied the deficiency by her own exactness of method, and relieved him in many business details by assum- ing the entire responsibility. She was wise counsellor, and suggested many of the publications by which he inter- preted science to the popular mind. He was ready lecturer, but used no man. uscript, and disliked the drudgery of writing.
 Mrs. Agassiz attended him when lec- turing near home, and from her copious notes his volumes were subsequently, prepared. She wrote much from his dictation, prepared his manuscripts fol the press, and was of invaluable service in reading and correcting proofs.

AS a Hay Market.

Hay is so expensive in the new Colo rado mining centre entitled Leadville, that collateral security is demanded by Iivery-stable keepers whenever horse is left in their charge even for short period. One night man drove up to one of the corrais with a span of rather lean horses which he had just driven over the range. He called out to the corral keeper: "Say, Captain, I'd like to leave my outfit here." "All right, sir, drive in." The clerk called to the boss as soon as the owner of the team had left the stable "Say, that man is going to Ten Mile in the morning, to be gone week." The stranger was called back. "Going to leave this team here a weekp "Yes, sir; about @ week, | reckon" "Well, my friend, you wiit have to leave messome security for the care and feed of this team" Heavens, man," replied the stranger, "ain't the team security enougha" No, sir hay is worth $150 ton, and if you should leave that team in my cure for week, and anything should happen to prevent your coming back for it, the horses and wagon wouldn't bring enough to cover the livery bill. I'd rather you'd take lem somewhere else"

THE BEST VA '.

walked with the beautiful Marcelline
 At eve in the scented clover; The nightingale sang to the rose and moon
 One sweet song over and over. The nightingale sang, and he sang, know, Tell herl Tell her you love her! I'd tell
 her SO!
 Tell her you love her; it's easy to say
 Just here in the scented clover" So I told her the sweetest story there
 I told it over and over; But at moonlight, music, and what said, My beautiful Marcelline shook her head. Next day walked with the exquisite girl
 In the streets of the crowded city; She was daintily clad in silk and lace,
 She was gracious, wise, and witty; I spoke of jewels, of houses, and gold, Of lands to be bought aud bonds to be sold showed her my bank-book there and then ; And she whispered, Really, Harry!" And Marcelline, darling, all shall be yours
 Whenever you choose to marry; So on, and accordingly, things were said, And the beautiful Marcelline bowed her.head. Moonlight and music and that sort of thing Are rated as foolish or funny; If you're in earnest your wooing to speed,
 Talk to g girl of your money. Tell her, I'm worth so and SO; , then kiss Bet you the wedding ring she'll say Yes"

Colorado Miners.

The small mines of Colorado are worked by miners who live alone or in couples" pardners," they call them selves. Each couple occupies @ cabin, and cook, wash and keep house for themselves. A correspondent of the Boston Journal describes one of these cabins, built on the steep side of Pros pect Mountain
 The house consists of stone cabin, generally built into the hill, or under the lee of some huge rock. The roof is made of timber cut near by, and mostly covered with layer of gravel or clay.
 The mountain-side is so steep that the few feet of ground about the doors of the cabins have to be walled up and leveled to make room for threshhold step.
 The whole arrangement looks as if good wind or slight jar of the ground might send it sliding off and down a half mile into the ravine below.
 A cabin has but one room sometimes a window and door, but mostly the window is in the door two benches at one side, and a large stone fireplace op- posite, few shelves for dishes and for storing goods, rude pine table, and one or two chairs or stools.
 | A little shelf in one corner, screened from dust and smoke by hanging cur tain, usually contains few books and papers. The books are mostly novels, tales of love and romance, with some times a scientific work on mineralogy or geology.
 You never find them without a pen and ink-bottle, and often the men in spare hours are engaged in writing. You are not to suppose by their rough exterior and surroundings that these men are illiterate, that they are mere machines of bone and muscle, calculated to do so much work for so much money.
 The miners of this county, as class, are men of good, vigorous mind they have brains, and have to use them in their daily occupation, great deal oi calculation and thoughtful planning is required in all their operations.
 To misiudge the weight of hanging rock, or the consistency of a bank ( loose clay, might bring death and disas ter as a consequence.

Horrors of a Prairie Fire.

Another terrible prairie fire is reported from Bittle Creek, Lincoln county, Kansas, which destroyed everything in its path, and resulted in the death of three persons. It appears that about four o'clock in the afternoon MT. Mont gomery, one of the well-to-do farmers of that county, and his son, boy of about twelve, were in the field at work, when they discovered fire coming from the West. They stopped their work to keep the fire from the hedge, when the wind suddenly changed to the north, blowing very hard and cold. and bearing before it second fire, which came with the fleetness of horse. There were two fields near on either side, and seeing their danger, the boy started to one field and the father to the other. The boy was caught in the flames and fell to the ground instantly. A neighbor, Isaac Pfaff, who was passing near on a mule, galloped up to MT. Montgomery and induced him to mount the mule behind him and ride to the field. MT. Montgomery mounted, but seeing his boy fall, lost all presence of mind and threw his arms around MT. Pfaf, catching the bridle-reins and holding the mule still while they were enveloped in the flames. Both men dropped to the ground and the fire passed over them. The mule ran 8 short distance and fell dead.
 The two men arose to their feet, and the wind and fire took their clothing from them as they walked to the nearest field, about one hundred yards distant. MT. Pfaff's feet were so badly burned that his boots fell from him as he walked. A MT. Manning came to them from the nearest house with couple of quilts, which he wrapped about the two men, and carried them to the house. He then carried in the dead boy. BotL men were perfectly rational, and con versed freely with those around then up to within few hours of their death Mir. Montgomery lived about two hours and MT. Pfaff lived until about elev o'clock that night. MT. Montgomery leaves Q wife and seven children, mos of whom are gro VII. MT. Pfaff leaves { wife and one chlld. --S. Louis Democrat

Club.HOuse Gambling.

Not few of the city clubs, says New York paper, have had deal of trouble inpreventing the establishment of ''draw- poker" in their club houses, as certain members who turn the game to profit always insist that it's interdiction is an infringement upon the rights and privi- leges of such social organizations. In other words, they are opposed to the wholesome restraint because some of them have lived by playing the game "merely in 8 friendly way" and want to continue to live by the same means. Any clnb which tolerates draw-poker is not, to put it mildly, wise for It's own reputation or interest. Such tol ration is invariably and dinevitable mischievous. Many men have been made gamblers by playing at clubs who would never have formed the habit otherwise. Ex-County Auditor Heath, of St. Louis, now serv. ing term of imprisonment in the Peni tentiary for embedding the public funds has publicly avowed the cause of his ruin to be draw-poker, played in club. house of that city. Black-legs pretend. ing to be merchants drew him into the game, and feeced him again and again and in hope of winning back his losses he " borrowed " money from the County Treasury, intending to make it gooc when fortune should favor him. Ol course, Fortune did not favor him. He could not compete with professiona sharpers. He soon became hopelessl. involved, exposure followed, and he wa socially, politically and morally de stroyed. Heath's experience has beel l often repeated.

A Noble Son.

There was buried from St. Rose Church, in Cincinnati, says local paper, young man named Peter Rapp, a street-car driver. He was the only support of an aged father and mother, and the privation and suffering which he endured that they might have a home, with such necessaries of life as his scanty wages would provide, were doubtless the cause of his death. The family, consisting of the two old people and Peter, who was twenty-six years of age, lived in Washington street, near Front. The father is crippled and in- firm. The mother was only able to per form such light labor as was necessary in the care of their little household. All the money that came into their home was provided by th @ son from his small earnings. He paid their house rent, supplied them with food, clothing, fuel everything. During the past winter, and up to short time ago, when he was prostrated by the disease-quick con- sumption-which terminated his life, he was in the employ of the Eighth street car line in tEe capacity of a driver. Those who know him speak of him as a hero who died that his father and mother might live. His wages were not suf- fcient to provide all with the necessa- ries of life, and he chose that he himself should be the one to suffer most. During some of the severest weather of the past winter he wore neither overcoat nor underclothing, and thus contracted the cold that soon resulted in his death. It is rule of the company that driver must be ready to go out with his car at twenty minutes before o'clock each morning or receive no car that day. AL though young Rapp had to walk from his home in Fulton to Prices Hill, a sixty consecutive mornings during the cold weather of last winter, he never missed car. It is another rule of the company that, when not on duty, a driver shall not ride on car without paying regular fare. This rule and his poverty necessitated young Rapp walk ing home every night after leaving his car. This made him daily walk of nine miles, and this in addition to the fifteen hours that car drivers are required to work each day. Standing on Q car platform for fifteen hours day, scantily clothed, perhaps hungry, walking to and from his work through the bitter weather, the suffering of this young man must have been intense. Through it all the comfort of his father and mother was uppermost in his mind, and for two months he never spent single cent of his wages for himself. Car drivers receive their pay every evening, and every night he carried his little pit tance home and gave it to his mother, even to the last cent. From St. Rose Church his remains were borne to the grave, followed by little band of friends and neighbors. The lamentations of his aged mother touched every heart, and surely mother never wept for 8 noble1 son.
