My Sheaves.

The time for toll is past, and night has come
The last and saddest of the harvest ewes;
Worn out with labor, long and wearisome,
Dropping and faint the reapers hasten home
Each laden with his sheaves
Last OF the laborers, Thy feet l gain,
Lord OF the harvest! and my spirit grieves
That am burdened not so much with grain
As with the heaviness of heart and brain:
Master, behold my sheaves"
Full well know have more tares than wheat,
Brambles and flowers, dry stalks, and with
cred leaves;
Wherefore blush and weep, as at Thy feet
1 kneel down reverently and repeat:
Master, behold my sheaves"
Few, light and worthless, yet their trifiing
weight
Through all my frame weary aching
leaves;
For long struggled with my helpless fate,
And stayed and toiled till it was dark and late !;
Yet these are all my sheaves.
And yet gathered strength and hope anew !;
For well know Thy patient love perceives
Not what did, but what strove to do:
And though the full, ripe ears be sadly few,
Thou wilt accept my sheaves.

There he stood-Sarchedon
He had been abroad the greater por-
ton of the year. 1t was like him to
come upon me unheralded. l had
thought of him three thousand miles
away, and now he stood before me a
little grayer than when I saw him last,
but erect, sturdy, strong of limb and
with his eyes suffused with softening
light that think was reflected from his
glad heart at sight of his friend-the
only one, SO far as know, to whom he
ever quite uDbends.
There was just the faintest shade of
banter in his tone, but did not fail to
catch the truth. l conld see under his
airy manner the old gravity that lave
always found inseparable from him in

have never observed it in other men,
and it was that which first attracted me
to him long ago when he had been to
the opera one night with Dawdler and
came upon me over a lunch of deviled
crab. Then it was only the fancy of a
moment, heightened, it may be, by the
cynical emphasis of his speech and the
unconscious superiority of his attitude
toward the empty-headed little prig
whom ne had, oddly enough, chosen to
be his companion for the time. Since
then l have learned that it is the most
striking outward symbol of unique
character; the italicised manifestation
of a singularly rugged nature of an in
dividuality wholly his own. 1t is unlike
the gravity of other men in that it never
chills me. I have never tried to analyze
it, but now l am conscious that when 1

of sad humiliation, she adroitly changed
the subject. l saw her at church once
or twice after that, but it was all over
between us. The next time l left the
village it was forever, and about year
later 1 received newspaper containing
the announcement of her marriage to
the handsome son of the village mer-
chant, whom I remembered as a lad
chiefly by the circumstance that he al
ways had his hair elegantly dressed
with Lyons Kathairon, stock of which,
l also remember, was kept'in those days
at 'the store.'"
"And have you never seen her since ?"
l asked; this time with genuine sympa-
thy.
Yes, once, and only once" he an
swered. "She CHANGED to be passing
through the city in which 1 was living
about ten years ago and stopped to
spend Sunday with one of her old-time
schoolmates, girl, now dead. She
was then a fine, matronly -looking wom-
an, and her four sturdy boys hung over
her with a fondness that brought tears
to my eyes. 1t was such a picture as
remember Miss Mulock drew of Edna
kenderdine and her manly sons, all
proud of their mother and as careful of
her as if they had been her lovers. 1
loved those lads, and told them so,
much to their wonderment.'
'But the mother; you surely
81 merely exchanged a few COM
monplaces with her, but there was no
allusion to the old romance. 1 never
saw her again. Good night.''
He was gone. That was month ago,
and as [ have not seen him since that
night, OF heard from him, I suppose he
must have gone on another journey. 1 |

while l often feel strong desire to |
spend an evening with him, l content !
myself with knowing that he will one !

Household Perils.

Under this head the Boston Journal
Of Chemistry names several dangerous
substances which find their way into
households. There are two or three
volatile liquids used in families which
are particularly dangerous, and must be
employed, if at all, with special care.
Benzine, ether, and strong ammonia
constitute this class of agents. The two
first named liquids are employed in
cleansing gloves and other wearing APP
parel, and in removing oil stains from
carpets, curtains, etc. The liquids are
highly volatile, and flash into vapor so
soon as the cork of the vial containing
them is removed. Their vapors are very
combustible, and will infame at long
distances from ignited candles or gas
flames, and consequently they should
never be used in the evening when the
house is lighted. Explosions 'of very
dangerous nature will occur if the vapor
of these liquids is permitted to escape
into the room in considerable quantity.
In view of the great hazard of handling
these liquids, cautious housekeepers will
not allow them to be brought into their
dwellings, and this course is commend
able.
AS regards ammonia, or water of am
monia, it is a very powerful agent, es-
pecially the stronger kinds sold by drug
gists. An accident in its use has re-
Gently come under our notice, in which
a young lady lost her life from taking
few drops through mistake. Breathing
the gas under certain circumstances
causes serious harm to the lungs and
membranes of the mouth and nose. 1t
is an agent much used at the present
time for cleansing purposes, and it is
unobjectionable if proper care is used in
its employment. The walls holding it
should be kept apart from others con-
tanning medicines, etc., and rubber
shoppers to the walls should be used.
Oxalic acid is considerably employed
in families for cleansing brass and cop
per utensils. This substance is highly |
poisonous, and must be kept and used
with great caution. In crystalline |
structure it closely resembles sulphate
of manesia or EPSON salts, and there
fore, frequent mistakes are made and |
lives lost. Every agent which goes into |
families among inexperienced persons
should be kept in safe place, and la
belled properly and used with care.

About Precious Stones.

Mr.. WATHERsTON, an eminent Lon
don jeweler, gave an interesting lecture
lately on gems and precious stones. He
said that, with the exception of the
diamond in the glass-cutter hand, they
are intrinsically worthless, their high
estimation in Olden times having been
due to their use as magical charms.
against evil, while in later times thew
have been priced as concentrated ex-
pressions of wealth and splendor. He
said that the Braganza, belonging to-
the crown of Portugal, and still in the
rough, is the largest diamond. It
weighs 1,68O, and the Koh-i-noor, be-
fore being cut, weighed 787 carats.
There are cruel allegations against the.
Braganza, to the effect that it is only a
white topaz. In this case diamond
belonging to the Rajah of Matan comes
to the top. A Governor of Batavia

Sights in Havana.

The people here appear listless; they
move slowly, lazily I may say. There
is manifest little of the vim and push
seen in our Northern cities. The ma
tives are small Of stature, sharp-eyed
aud voluble in speech; in communica-
ting simple statement, as. for instance,
directing the coachman where to drive
you, they will talk and talk, and there
seems no end to the iabber. "Walking
Spanish means very slow; talking
Spanish, fast and long. The victoria
carriages, French style, are the popular
vehicles in Havana; the streets are full
of them. A course drive which may be
extended three or four miles costs only
eighteen cents, or sixty-five cents the
first hour and forty-ive cents each SUBJ
sequent hour; two persons may be COM
fortably seated in victoria, and Three
light bodies can squeeze in. So it will
be seen that driving out is very cheap
luxury here, and it is largely availed of
by almost everybody except the labor
irg poor. The horses are small, gener-
ally in poor condition, but tough as a
knot; their endurance under the broil-
ing sun of this climate is remarkable;
they trOt off at fair gait and never
seem to tire. The cruelty practiced
upon dumb beasts is shocking; the
horses are most numerically whipped
at their work, and oxen, which are al
most exclusively used in draying service
moving immense loads with clumsy,
heavy carts-are cruelty goaded with
pole steeltipped to sharp point. The
oxen are so harnessed that they draw
from their heads, and rope-reins are
attached to rings in their noses to di-
rect their course. Dumb beasts are
oyerworked, poorly fed and tortured to
death. Possessed as they are of WON
derful endurance, they break down and
are used up in three or four years at
longest under such cruel usage.-Letter
