WHO IS SHe7

o. face, are you only fancy,
Enshrined in q gilded frame.
Or the spell of some necrumancy
That lives here-without manner
Your eyes meet my own up-glancing
Through width of a splendid room,
And hold me with wondrous trancing,
And tire me with hopeless doom.
For fear that the face before me
Has never q sister soul;
And the love that would fain adore thee
Paints from % far off goal,
That it never can reach with longing,
And never may touch by prayer,
If listen to thoughts, swift thronging
From depths that are half despair.
have gazed, and am mad with gazing,
At the beautiful lips SO dumb;
On the eyes, with their light amazing,
That dalzles me like sun;
On a mouth like blood-red blossom,
And cheek with roses glow,
And fleece Of half tossen
l'ro5 brow to shoulders snow.
o splrndor of perfect beauty,
Enshrined in . golden frame
Were il anything more than duty
To ask for n fair name,
And turn to the crowd around Inc,
As it hcaves like IA tossing sea,
| But one and all who surround me
Are murmuring, "Who is she'
| o love, with those soft close lashcs
Sweeping thar pictured cheek,
And a splendor of light that flashes
From eyes that my own eyes seek
Who are you' burst pray yon
To feed me with future bliss,
Wherever your frame array you,
Wherever your lips may kiss.
In the world of art have met You,
Where myriad voices praise;
In another world--to forget You
pray through the weary days.
For though you he dead or living.
Your beauty alone ! see,
A heart and its worship giving,
While Others ask, "Who is She

this in spite Of the fact that tho bal.

Afghan Towers and Huts.

These towers are structures about
thirty feet high, and the same in di-
ameter. The first ten feet are of solid
stone structure, the upper hollow, and
capable of holding fifteen or twenty
men, the whole loopholed and rooted
in; above the roofis lookout balcony.
The only entrance is a small doorway
above the stone substructure, ap-
preached either by ladder or a single
piece OF rope, which, when the tower
is occupied, Is drawn up. The huts,
surrounded generally by low earthen
walls, resemble those all over upper
India-earthen walls and fiat, mud
covered roofs some twenty feet long,
ten or twelve broad, and six high.
Sometimes they are longer and divided
INTO apartments, in one of which the
cows and buffaloes are housed, though
quite as often they occupy The same
apartment as their owners. Their por-
tionis generally anything but clean
the portion occupied by the famili is
swept out daily by the women, who, as
rule, do not only all domestic work,
but good portion of outside duty also.
The only furniture consists of two OF
three small bedsteads covered with
string, on which lie tumbled some
dirty quilts and blankets; in one cor
ner some seed-cases, covered with a
coating of mud, containing the grain fer
daily use and for the next sowing sea-
son; a small stool or two, and some
spinningwheels, at which the women
sit when at leisure, which is seldom; q
few ghurrds, earthen vessels, holding
water or buttermilk, and used as cook.
ing-pots. In one corner, or in the cen
tire of the room, lies heap of ashes OF
wood fire, on which the cooking i:
done, the smoke of which, having nc
outlets, blackens walls and rafters, Oh
which hang the warlike implements Of
the lords of the mansion.

Anecdotes of Wife-Beaters-

Ny Uncle Ned, which has been in
Injy and everywhere, he says one
time there was IA feller which was a
lickin his white, and evry time he hit
her there was dog and it hollered, the
dog did, like loky motif. Then the
feller he said to his white: "Can't
you do your own hOllerin'l" Then he
tho't vile, and then he went in his
house and brot out other white and
licked thatn, too, and wotched the dog,
and the dog it howld agin. Then the
feller he sed: "Whose white is this,
lde like to know, mine or yOurn? 2"
Then he got other white and licked
her, and it wos the same way. Then
he thOt vile agin, and then he was
goin for other, but the dog it shuke
it's head and walked away, much as to
say: "A feller can't devote his hole life
to one emotion and fore go the chase;
the jackus rabit is forth and beekons

secure the serfices of fresh dog
Master Jonrice, which has got the

A New Book.

The publishing house of J. c. Nc
Curdy IL Co. have just issued new
work entitled ''The Complete Home"
which deserves more than a passing
notice. 1t is not book of dry direc-
tions-it is full of anecdotes, Wit, Char
acters, Conversations, Scenes and Incl
dents. The entire aim of the author
has been to convey this valuable in
formation in way in which it will be
read and remembered. It is the pro-
duct of practical experience. Here are
not mere theories or mere facts; but
fundamental principles are woven with
general and special directions. This
book exalts the origin, aim and sphere
of home. The home is the foundation
of the State; the germ of the Church !;
the cornerstone of national prosperity.
The success or ruin of the whole world
must begin in the home. Here is a
book wrought with intense care-cre-
ated by long study, observation and
experience book showing how the
home can be made happy, healthful,
honest, active, selt-supporting, edu-
Gated, wealthy. Although but recently
issued it is already having that extern
sive sale which its merits deserve. A
rare chance is offered by the publish
ers to those i'm search of pleasant and
profitable employment during the sum-
mer and fall. See advertisement in
another column.

Ho,c .Sedentdry Life Affects Women.
The Popular Science Monthly remarks
that all of the ills and diseases prevalent
among women in our day, are no doubt
traceable TO the sedentary mode OF life
so common among them. The progress
of the industrial arts has done away
with much of the household drudgery TO
which women were formerly subjected,
and the result is in TOO many cases,
want of sufficient occupation for
needed bodily exercise. 1t says, the
fruits of this state of things are strik-
ing exhibited in certain observations
made by the late DIR. Robertson, a
Manchester surgeon, who IN his prac-
tice as a specialist for women's diseases
found that in women VINO themselves
performed all their household work,
there was no trace of certain COM
plants; that these complaints begin TO
make their appearance in women VINO
have one servant, become more pro-
nounced in women who have two SER
wants. or still worse with those who
have three servants, and so on. lie
statistically showed that the deaths
from child birth were four times As
great in cases of women with four SER
wants, as those with none. On the
other hand we observed statement the
other day, that since suspension of la
Dor in the mills of New England on
account of the panic many of the female
operatives have sought employment as
domestics, and as a consequence there
is much more sickness among them
