The Girls and Weddings.

so, some of the thir gs that amused them,

lovingly over the details OF wedding.

and they tell each other thousand times

up again, and how the travelling dress be-
came her. Not otherwise than when. a

with her. The cynical father opposed
marriage and was furious at the interlop-
ing gallant, but as the latter could not
be bullied or driven off she was to be his
wife, and the two went to the main land
and lived there. The lady IS now known
to the literary world as Mrs. Celia Thax-
ter, the poet, favorjte contributor to the
Atlantic. She is very fond of Appledore,
doubtless through its early romantic asso-
Citations, and spends most other summers
in cottage near the Appledorc House,
kept by her brothers, who were born on
the island and have grown to be inn keep

Irresistible. Persons began to go to the
house of their father many years ago, as

Only Mrs. Hancock.
From the Boston Herald,

Fifty years ago the leading dailies were
the Courier, Sentinel and Boston Atlas,
edited respectively by Joseph Tinker
Buckinham, Maj. Ben Russell and Richard
Houghtcn, all men of mark. The week
lies were the 1ra0eller and Gqz tie, the
latter edited by w. W. Clapp, father Of
Col. Clapp of the Journal. Of Maj.
Ben," as he was familiary called, many
amusing anecdotes are told, one of which,
that long antedates the period of which
we are speaking, may be worth relating:
His relations with Gov. Hancock were
intimate, and, having an appointment
with the governor late in the evening,
was received by the executive in his
chamber. After long session, the Lusi-
ness being concluded, the governor drew
back and said, "Now, Ben, tell us good
story" This was exactly in the majors
line and he gave him tolerably ttspiicy'
one. Just at the climax Mai. Ben was.
Mortified by the sound of stifled feminine
laughter and, jumping up, saw from the
movement ola high-curtained beastead
standing in the corner that it had an &C.
cupant. "Good heaven! who can that
bet" ne exclaimed. ssSit down, Ben" re-
piled the governor, with a twinkle in HE
eye; Ut is only Mrs. Hancock"

A BROKEN STRING.

Sing, and to you? No-no-with one note
Jared,
The harmony of life's long chord is broken:
Your words were light and by light lips were
And yet the music that : GU loved is marred.
One string, my friend, is dumb beneath your
Strike and it throbs and vibrates at your
will,
Falters upon the verge of sound, and still :
Falls back as sea waves shattered on the
strand.
Touch it no more for you shall not regain
The sweet, lost tone. Take what is left, or.
Lies music sleep to death. Let us forget
The perfect melody we seek in vain
And yet, per chance, some day before we die
As half in dreams we hear the night-wind
Around our windows when we fain would
sleep,
Laden with one long, sobbing, moaning cry,
One faint. far tone will waken and will rise
Above the great wave voice Of mortal pain !;
Hand will touch hand and lips touch lips
As n the darkness it recedes and dies
0 lingering in the summers evening glow.
Then when the passion of the crimson West,
Burning like some great heart that cannot
rest,
Stains as with blood the waters as they flow,
Some old, forgotten tones may rise and wake
Our dying youth and set our hearts alame
With their old swcetness-tO our lips the
name
OF love steal softly for the old loves sake

Romance ofthe Isles of Shoals.

an interesting account of the original oc-
cupation of Appledore Island, one of the
group, on which there has long been q
summer inn much freauented by New
Englanders, New Workers and Western
people. Itseems to have been purchased
by Mr.. Leighton, lawyer and a prom

on it permanently on account IF his dis
satisfaction with his party. He took his
wife and child-a daughter-there, built
a rude house, and expressed his detcrmi

THE WIND-sWEPT WHEAT.

Faint, faint and clear
Faint as the music that in dreams we hear
Shaking the curtaiH-fold of sleep
That shuts away t. .'Nf'
The worlds hOarse voice-the sights and
sounds of day, ~
Her sorry joys, her phantoms false and fleet,
So softly, softly stirs
The winds low murmur in the rippled
wheat.
The warm breath blows, the slender heads
drop low,
AS if in prayer.
Again, more lightly tossed in merry play,
They bend and bow and sway,
With measured beat
But never rest. Throug Oh shade v and through
sun
Goes on the tender rustic of the wheat.
Dreams, more than sleep,
Fall on the listening heart, and lull it's care
Dead years send back
Some treasured, half forgotten time.
All, long ago.,
When sun and sky were sweet,
In happy noon,
We stood, breast-high, mid waves of ripened
And heard the wind make music is the
wheat!

Not for this hour alone-the melody,
So soft and ceaseless, thrills the dreamers

Ok all that was and is, Of all that yet shall

Love, sorrow, longing, pain;
The restlessness that yearns;
The thirst that burns;
The bliss that, like fountain, overfows;
The deep repose;
Good that we might have known, but shall

The hope God took, the joy lie made CON-

Hunting for a Word.

An anecdote Of Moore, the irish poet.
shows how much pains writer will take,
who does good work, to put the right
word in the right place. Moore was on
visit to literary friend in France, and
while there wrote short poem.
One day while the guest was engaged
IN his literary labor the two took stroll
into an adj acent wood, and the host soon
perceived that his companion was given
up to his own thoughts; he was silent
and distracted, noticing neither his friend
and entertainer nor the beauties of the
surrounding landscape.
By-and-bye he began to gnaw the fng-
er-tips of his gloves; pulling and twitch-
ing spasmodically, when this had gone on
for long time his friend ventured to
ask him what was the trouble.
"I'll tell you," said Moore. "I have
left at home upon my table poem in
which is word I do not like The line
is perfect save that one word, and that
word is perfect save its infection. Thus
1t is, and he repeated the line and asked
his friend if he could help him
It was delicate point. The friend
saw the need, saw where and how the
present word Jared just the slightest
possible bit upon the exquisite harm ny
of the cadence: but he could not supply
the want.
The twain cudgeled their brains until
they reached the house On their return,
without avail.
The rest of the day was spent as usual,
as was the evening, save that ever and
anon Moore would sink into silent fits in
pursuit of the absent word. And so came
on the night, and the poet went to bed in
a deep study.
The following morning was bright and
beautiful, and Moore came down from his
chamber v it'll a bounding step, with a.
scrap OF paper IN his hand and glorious
light in his genial countenance.
The word had come to him He had
awoke during the night, and the kind ge-
MUS of inspiration had visited his pillow.
and he had got up and torn a scrap from
bis notebook, and at the window, by
the light of the moon, had made the
thought secure.
There" he said, when he had incorpo-
rated it into the text; ''there it is only
q simple single word, word as common
as a, b, c, and yet it cost me twelve hours
of undagging labor to find it and put it
where it is. Who could believe itf''

Th0reau's Thoughts.

Woe to him who wants companion,
for he is not fit to be the companion of
even himself.
That virtue we appreciate is as much
ours as another's. We see 50 much only
as we possess. .....
The blue sky is distant reflection of
the azure serenity that looks out from
under human brow.
What does education often do? It
makes straight cut ditch out Of free
meanderng brook.
Do you know on what bushes little
peace, faith and contentment grow? Go
a-berrying carly and late after them.
There is nowhere any apology for de-
spondency. Always there is lite while

Cheap persons will stand upon cere-
mony, because there is no other ground ;
but to the great of the earth we need no
introduction, nor do they need any to US.
What is peculiar in the life of a man
consists not in his obedience, but his op-
position to his instincts; in one direction
or another he strives to live supernatu-
raj life.
When we cease to sympathize with,
and to be personally related to men, and
begin to be universally related, then we
are capable Of inspiring others with the
sentiment of love for US.
No fields are so barren to me as the
men from whom expect everything but
get nothing. In their neighborhood I
experience painful yearning for society
which cannot be satisfied, for the hate is
greater than the love-

Whether passed on bed of sickness or

Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver

During long life I have learned that
people who have the happiest and health
lest minds take an active part in eyerv-
thing which concerns their community,
their State, or the country at large.
A proper interest and sympathy for
others gives men vigorous minds and
broad view, while selfish views tend to
contract even great intellects.
A thoroughly selfish man must, In the
end, be thoroughly unhappy one.
The study of men has taught me, still
another great truth, 1t is that, while
their conditions as to wealth, the charac-
ter of their homes and surroundings are
very different, the variety of worlds they
live IN are still more varied.
Money may fix the character of mans
house, but only intelligence and culture
can give beauty and interest to the sphere
or world in which be passes his life.
Every single object on this earth is of
value to those who know its character, its
history and its use, while those who are
ignorant of these things take no interest
even in the choicest productions of ma
ture. 2@
To one man the heavens arc filled with
great system of mighty worlds. To an
other skies are simply so much blue
space dotted with bright, but to them
meaningless points Of light. To one the
earth is an exhaustless museum, giving
endless subjects for study, thought and
happiness; to another it is simply clod
in which to grow potatoes and cabbages.
Approaching and acting on these IA
maliar truths, I decided at an early age
to take an active interest in everything
that concerned the general welfare, and,
above all, to keep my mind vigorous and
sympathetic.

"LAID ASIDE"

We say them very oft, the two small words:

May watch the rcapers at their work,
May only wait to know their fathers will.
But, by what right do we in Judgment stand
And, looking DER the harvest field so wide.

know,
These hath the Fathers wisdom laid aside?
They % s};fyy not toll, their waiting hands lie
And cannot CLEAN the sheaves so wide and
But shall we say that they are 'laid aside"
when Gods own hand hath touched and
placed them there!
Because their feet no longer come and go
among the sheaves that ripen meath the
Because their hands can neither SOW nor
CLEAN,
Is this the sign that work for them is doney
An, no, God does not count them laid aside
Because his voice has babe them to be still;
For, though they only wait with folded hands,
1t is enough that so they do His will.
How shall we judge what task on earth is
theirs?
=, God does not measure by our human sight;

May some day shine in radience Of light.

Keep Freights Low.

In relation to the advance Of freights
East previously reported as to take place
on September Is, the only effect will be
to cause Western farmers, who can, to
hold their surplus grain. They will not
pay out all their profits in treights. 1t is
a significant fact in this connection that
Notwithstanding the general failure of
crops in Europe, and especially in Eng
land, prices do not materially advance,
and this tor reasons started last week. If
freights advance materially between Chi
bago and the East, farmers will hold their
grain. The Prairie Farmer will advise
them to do 50, and from the simple fact
If from no other, that to rush grain tor
ward in great masses this tall will surely
depress the market below living rate to
the producer, from the glut that natural
ly ensues, by throwing OH the markets
more produce than they can legitimately
bear. This, spectators will not be slow
to take advantage of. Last season in
view of the great crop of wheat, we ad-
vised farmers not to be in a hurry to force
the market. That all the wheat would
be wanted. This advice seems generally
to have been taken, and the result was
the wheat came forward as wanted, pri-
ces were maintained, and our surplus
grain was all taken at fair prices. So it
will be this season. All the gain the
United States have to spare is wanted in
Europe. If it is flung on the market as
fast as trains and shipping fleets can car
ry it, the market must be temporarily
broken. If it is sent forward, regularly,
however generously, to meet the legiti-
mate demand, the producer and not the
Spectator will be the grainer. Our ad-
vie therefore, is to watch the market;
when the price suits and leaves fair
margin of profit. In this connection it
may not be out of place to reiterate what
we have heretofore stated that there is a
failure of the wheat crop in Europe with
the exception of Southern France; there
the crops are good but this is only a trac-
ton, and small one in the production OF
the world. What we said last week as to
facilities for transportation is pretty we'll
understood. If a commodity is wanted
there is some portion of the eartn that
can produce it: Last year and this, so
far as wheat is concerned, it is the United
States. The tarmars Of the West will be
wise If they can so time the marketing,
that they may be able to reach the top Of
the market III their sales.
