time saying that ere long she would be
home, yet she came not. Could she
suspect the disloyalty of her lover?
1t was late in the fall when the woods
had put on their pomp of glory, and
the chill winds sent the fallen leaves
throug b the valleys near B ,nnybrook,
whea DR.. Padding rode up to the
house and asked for Constance. She
had only received him twice before
since the summer evening, ana had
then contrived by womanly tact not to
be alone with him-although she no
longer doubted her strength. Con-
stance, on this occasion, received her
guest alone there seemed strange
embarrassment in his manner. After
the first greetings we're over, he said :
Constance, have much to say to
you to-day. Do YOU think you can lis

subject on which you should speak, and

Both,' he said. ''When first saw
Edith Ormond 1 was captivated by her
beauty and girlish graces thought
loved her."
Constance would have stopped him
by gesture, but he Begged her to
listen" for you can do SO now," he
said, :" in all honor aud reason"
He continued
II had never had my heart stirred

breadth of your sympathies and the
womanliness of your character.

was trembling with emotion. Read

He handed a folded paper to Con-

"From Edith?" she said.

The portion she read ran thus:
So, you see, dear DR.. Paulding, it
is better l should tell you now that I

anybody else in the world. 1 have
promised to be his wife and 1 am sure

An Indian Turkish Bath.

If cleanliness is next to godli
ness, the fulness of the Indian
is his greatest sin. A pecu-
liar and disagreeable odor pervades
everything that belongs to them, al
though much of it Is due to other
causes than personal filth. The
tanning, drying of beef or buffalo,
cooking, etc., simultaneously in pro-
gress in and about the lodge, produce
a variety Of unpleasant scents, which
permeate their clothing and impres-
nate the atmosphere. The infreouent
change of the former is also fruitful
source of physical impurity. The
Turco-Russian bath is, however, of
very common application among them.
1t is their panacea.
The manner of its preparation is
necessarily primitive. Willow wauds
are sharpened and thrust into the
ground, and their smaller ends are in
terlaced SO as to form bower little
more than yard in height, and eight
or ten in circumference. Over this is
stretched and secured q piece of canvas
or skin, under which, after several
large stones have been brought to a
red heat and rolled to its center, a
dozen or more Arrapahoes crowd and
crouch. Water is slowly poured upon
the stones, from which arises hot air
ard vapor. After prefuse perspiration,
the inmates leap into an adjoining
stream, or wallow naked in the snow.
This bath establishment is called a
" wicky-up," and they dot the banks of
watering-courses in all Indian coun-
tries.-LIEUT. H. r. LEM1Y, U. S. A.,

Longing.
BY JAMRs RUSSELL LOWELL.

OF all the myriad moods of mind
That through the soul come thronging,
Which one was ser so:dear, so Kind,
So beautiful as longing?
The thing we ling for, that we are,
For one transcendent moment,
Before the present. poor and bare,
Can make its snc erirg comment.
Still, through our paltry stir and strife,
CLOVIS down the wishtd d ideal,
And longing molds in clay what life
Carves in the marble real.
To let the nsw life in We know
Desire must ope the portal;
Perhaps the longing to be so 1e
Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing is e DIS fresh, heavenward will
With our poor earthward striving;
We quench it that We may be still
Content with merely living;
But would we learn that hearts full scope,
Which we are hourly wronging.
Our lives must climb from hope to hopes
Ana realize our longing.
All ! let us hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons
Tie moments that we tread His ways,
But when tn spirit beckons;
That scme slight good is also wrought.
Beyond self satisfaction,
When We sre simply good in thought,
How er we fail in action.

A Serious Thought.

And yet, though serious, it may b,
profitable. Nigh on to quarter of 6
century ago-it was during the sum
mer of 1861 occasionally attended
weekday sevening religious meetings :
conference meetings" we called
them-in q small church on Wes,
Thirty sixth street, New York. The
lesson of one of those evenings, with
subsequent events, left an impression
on my mind that can never be dimmed
while life and sense are left me.
A pale-cheeked, hollow-faced man
arose III his place and offered few
thoughts on the subject of the value of
q faith. firm and abiding, in future
life. He had but short time to live
he felt it keenly-but he felt, also, that
he was willing to go when the time
should come. He closed by saying
that it would add to his peace and
comfort if he could believe that he
had the prayers of his friends there
present in his behalf.
Next after him arose a man whose
presence was a "thing of beauty -
a man not yet at middle age; healthful
and robust; with eyes bright and clear;
skin like child's; cheeks plump and
rosy; standing full six feet in height,
and turning the scales at very near two
hundred. He was by trade a builder;
and never used tobacco nor ardent
spirits; and, he was happy to declare,
had never known an hour of sickness
in his life. His grip was like iron, and
his step as firm as the broad based
mountain. l can never forget his
opening words. Said he, with glance
towards the invalid who had Just re-
resumed his seat:
"The words of the brother should
be needed by all of US. He is weak
and ailing; l am strong and well; yet,
who shall say which of US may be
called first to pass the shadowy vale |"
And then he went on, in plain and
homely language, to give the lesson he
would impress upon the minds of those
who heard him. And the lesson was
this: Be ye therefore ready, also;
for the Son of Man cometh at an hour
when ye think not"
On the evening of the very next day
our good pastor called upon me, and
informed me that brother s. was
dead. During tue early part of the
day. while giving directions to his
workmen, aud assisting in laying the
upper floor timbers of a building he
was erecting, he missed his footing and
fell to the cellar bottom, killing him
instantly.
And he had been the strong, yigor-
Gus, healthful man of the preceding
evening-the man who, though he had
never known an hour of sickness, yet
thought of having his house in readi-
ness !! And the pale-faced, hollow
checked man, waiting so patiently the
summons, met, still clothed in the
flesh, tens years later.
No-the lesson of that evening, en-
forced by the event of the following
day, is not to be forgotten. Nor would
l be willing to forget it. Amid the
chargeful scenes of ife-in Joy and in
success and in adversity--
at all times, and always, it must be
gratifying sense to be able to feel that
our house is in order, and the spirit
willing" for the great transition.

Appenzel1.

Near to Sarganz the Rhine becomes
the dividing line between the Austrian
Tyrol and East Sw1tzerlana. The
Swiss Canton OF Appenzell-'the little
land of Appsnzell''-with its pastoral
people and its queer customs, runs in
here to get peep at the passing river
These Appenzellers are very democrat
ic people, even for democratic Swift
zerland. 1t is not only that every man
has voice in the law making that it is
democratic, but it is also in the primi~
tive way in which that will is expressed.
There was time when people chose
their kings by meeting en- masse on a
field, and giving the tallest man the
crown. Something very similar is
practiced even now In little Appenzell.
Every May-day the whole voting
population of the canton meet, and
"a med with swords and umbrel Has, and
les, by band of music. march out to a
me dow, where the affair of the state and
the election Of officers are settled in short
time by the sovereign people. The wo-
men of Appenzell occasionally join in
officials, rugged in the uniform of state
galiaaltry give to the ladies the best
stand ng room on tie green. A little
platform for the town grandees IS ele-
waited, around which the procession
halts and listens to q prayer. Then
follow the affairs of state, decided SIM
ply by show OF hands. Taxes are
voted, fines laid, and officers chosen
for the next year. In a few hours Ap-
penzell's outdoor parliment is finished,
and the people go to their homes, and
lay their swords and flags away to rest
for another year. This has been Appen-
zell's parliment for five hundred years.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, In leading editorial
article, virtually rules Senator Thurman OF the
presidential track. 1t insists that the Cincin-
natl convention must not nominate an Ohio
man to head its ticket; that Ohio is republican;
that for the democrats to take candidate from
that state would be to make test contest at
the october election, which would give the re-
publicans great advantage; and, finally, that
the democrats must shape their ticket with the
view OF carrying New York first. The Enquirer.
pays Senator Thurman high compliment, and
says If the democratic convention chooses to
accept the issue Of an october contest in Ohio
he Is the man to lead the fight The democratic
leaders all realize and freely admit that their
convention must turn its chief attention to New
York, but there difficulty presents ITSELF
Tilden controls the delegation from that state
and it Is likely to obey his orders, whatever they
may be. The convention Will, from present In
dica.ions. be opposed to Tilden; but any move
against him Will be antagonized by that delega-
ton.

Are we entering upon wave Of steamer COL
nsioDs? The crashing together of the Anchoria
and Queen. in the open sea on Sunday last, fol-
lowing so soon upon the awful disaster on Tong
Island Sound, would seem to furnish grounds
for an apprehension of that sort. Accounts of
the affair vary somewhat In Diet ais, but the
fact that such a collision should occur In open
sea, near midday, and In good weather, even in
fog. argues gross carelessneSS somewhere
This theory seems to be fully borne out. further
more, by the statement Of some OF the passen-
gers, which are to the elect that the Anchoria
was going at fast rate Of speed, with sails
set. Fortunately In this case neither vessel was
lost, nor was there any loss OF ltfe but these
circumstances appear to be more the result Of
good luck than good management The crew OF
the Anchor1a was badly demoralized. some OF
the men being the first to jump into her boats
and pull away when lowered, and others refus-
Ing or falling to do any duty whatever.

The democratic congressman are very unwill-
ing to abandon Seymour as their presidential
candidate, but the repeated evidences OF his IN
willingness to accept have convinced many of
the party leaders that Ii is useless to give his
name further consideration. Among the gen.
tlemen mentioned for the nomination since it
became plain that Seymour Is out OF the ques-
ton, Senator Mcdonald, OF Indiana, seems to be
considered promising dark horse He has al
ways been firm and uny1elding bard-money
nan, and his record on this question It Is urged,
would render him acceptable to New York He
'pported the bills to restrict Chinese immigra-
on. and that would make him rayorite In the
P,.cif1c states. He Is as popular as Hendricks,
and can certainly carry Indiana These are the
points that are being presented in behalf of Mr..
Mcdonald. and IL dark horse Is to make the
race, his chance is second to none. The subject
OF his candidacy was discussed among demo-
cratic Congressman yesterday, and to sugges-
ton that he should run for Vice President an
intimate friend OF Mr.. Mcdonald declared. In
most emphatic terms, that the Senator s'would
not have the second place." that he would
rather return to the Senate, especially as he
will become chairman OF the judiciary commit
tee upon the retirement Of Senator Thurman
Hendricks refuses to take the second place, too,
and English does not want 1t; so the democrats
will probably have to either take their candi-
date for President from Indiana or leave that
state unrepresented on the ticket.

Gladstone enters upon the administration OF
the British government with necessity for In
creased revenue staring him In the face. He Is
compelled to increase taxation. because of the
extravaganza Of Beaconsfeld's government
The proposed new commercial treaty with
France VIII reduce the revenue considerably,
and the abolition Of the malt tax also cuts 1t
down more than million pounds sterling an
nually. To meet this loss In the revenue, In
part at least, Mr.. Gladstone proposes to increase
the income tax from five pence to six pence
By this plan the burden OF increased taxation
Will fall mainly upon the rich classes, which is
probably wise political move, as the extern
sions OF the franchise enable the poor, In very
many boroughs, to outvote the rich.
