day learn, for the first time since our mar
riage that Mark Dillon lives
'Oh, God, can this be true.
The words seemed wruug from the very
depth of Melville Austiu's agonized soul.
Staring first at his wife, and then at the
moody, creastiallen man beside her, his face
expressed the keenest intensity of mental
suffering. And now the icy calmness with
which Dora had spoken melted to a passion
of bs.
Stealing towards her husbands side, she
murmured, brokenly Before we part,
Melville, say that you forgiye me for being
the cause of 50 much future wretchedness
for having brought to your noble heart
sorrow it has 50 little deserved,
Part, Dora We must nct-we shall not

He had drawn her to his breast, with a
wild, impulsive movement. At the same
in, tant, the door of the studio was suddenly
unclosed, and a woman's voice cried out in
clear, ringing tones Mark Dillon lies,

| A low cry of rage escaped Dillon's lips,
as he sprang towards the woman who had
spoken. But with a blow of iron Melville
Austin's hand hurled him backward. For
moment the william stared at his wiie's
protector with tigerish tierceness in his
dark, dangerous eyes, and then, like the
coward he really was, SUNK from the apart

And from the house, too, never entering
it again. An hour afterwards his wife, EI-

entreaty Of Melville and Dora.

HELEN OF TYRE.


" hat phantom is this that appears
Through the purple mists OF the years,
Itself but amist ike these?
\ woman OF cloud and Of fire;
1t is she; it is Helen Of lyrc,
The town in the midst Of the seas
o Tyre in thy crowded streets
The phantom appears and retreats,
And the Israclltes, that sell
Thy lilies and lions Of brass,
Look up as they see her pass
And murmur "Jelc5el -
Then another phantom is seen
AT her side, In gray gabardinc,
With beard that floats to his waist;
1t is simon Magus, the seer;
lie speaks, and she pauses to hear
The words he utters In haste.
He says "From the evil tame,
From rhis life Of sorrow and shame,
| win lift thee and make thee mine
Thou hast been queen Canace,
And Helen Of Troy, and shalt be
The Intelligence Divine :"
OH sweet as the breath Of morn,
To the fallen and torlorn
Are whispered words Of praise,
For the famiShed heart believes
The falsehood that tempts and deCelves,
And the promise that betrays
So she follows from land to land
The wizards beckoning hand,
As u leaf is blown by the gust,
Til she yanishes into night!
Oreader, stOOp down and write
with thy finger in the dust.
o town In the midst OF the seas
With thy RATS OF ceder trees,
Thy merchandise and thy ships,
Thou, too, art become as uaught,
A phantom, a shadow, a thought,

WHY PEOPLE ARE POOR.

1t is stated on excellent authority, that
poor have ye with you always The remark
was true when uttered, and it has been true
ever SINCE and from appearance, ever will be.
There are those who have no disposition to
save who take no thought of to morrow.
Having enough for the present hour, they
content, and leave the future to take care of
itself If property were to be equally divid.
ed Monday morning, before Saturday night
the majority would be in destitute circum
stances, dead broke, while the prudent and
saving would be on the road to pecvniary in
dependence, One class of people spend what
ever money they can get hold of, and as fast
as they can get it, while with the others same
means that come into their hands, judcious-
ly invest the same, and become rich. There
are those who not only do not know how to
save, but they do not know how to spend.
If they get anything it goes for what they
do not need for articles that could be dis
pensed with, Those who are destitute of the
comforts Of life, as a rule, may blame them
selves therefore. If they have anything
they do not take care of it. They buy arti-
cles that people in better circumstances
would think they could not afford, So they
are always poor Relieve their wants to-
day aud they are no better off Tomorrow.
They are bound not to save-to have nothing
and are generally bound to be in debt if they
can find anybody that will trust them. OF
course We understand that people are some
times unfortunate, They get sick, Or those
dependent on them become so, We know
that people are sometimes overtaken by mis-
fortune but where there is one case of thi,
kind there are fifty in which the entire trOub'
lie may be found in the disposition to save,

Jean Ingelow's Home.

The popular poet and novelist lives
at Kensington, near London. Her
home. her appearance and manner OF
entertaining her guests are thus de-
scrlbed:
Entering the house the guests were
shown into a large, cheerful room on
tie LETT of the hall, where, in broad
window, was spread the usual afternoon
tea-table.
Two rosy checked maids, in white
caps and aprons, served the incoming
friends. who, having taken their cup OF
tea standing, repaired at once to the
drawing-room on the opposite side OF
the hall
A long, pretty room it was, filled
with dainty womanish belongings.
In smaller room at the end, which
looked into o conservatory at 6ne side
and the garden in the rear, beside an
Oriental divan, stood Miss Ingelow,
email, slight woman, of, perhaps, forty
years, with pleasant manner and
quiet, somewhat timid smile.
Her eyes were bright and expressive;
her hair, tinged with gray, was drawn
smoothly from her forehead, under
head dress of muslin ard lace.
Her dress was of black silk trimmed
with Grape. Altogether, she looked
model of quiet English lady in
pleasant English home.
AS the rooms slowly filled, numbers
OF the guests passed out through the
open doors on to the balcony in the
rear.
A broad carpet of the greenest lawn
was bordered by narrow side paths,
one of which led into a right-angled
continuation of the garden beyond.
Flowering trees, with benches be-
meath their shade, were stationed along
these paths.
People were walking up and down,
or seated under the trees, their light,
bright dresses or somber masculine at
tire contrasting with the vivid green of
foliage and grass. eating pink ices
the offering of q neat-handed Phyllis
and gossiping in friendly way.
Every face wore a smile, and the spir-
it of the day and of june seemed to an
innate every guest. Re-entering the
house, the hostess was found still at
her post, a touch of weariness visible in
her attitude and smile.
| But the tone and manner in which
she had made her guests welcome were
no more Hospitality cordial than those
with which she bade them "come
again"
, 1880-04-26

With the same punctilio the coffee
was removed, and the comp]i nents re-
commenced.
When, after a visit of over two hours
for to devote less time to q call
would be grave infraction of thu laws
of etiquette = the ladies rose to take
leave, Zenib Hanoum asked them to
wait an instant.
No sooner had they reseated them
selves than the door opened again to
give admittance to another flock of
women, bringing one crystal beaker
of delicious sherbes, beside which our
boasted cocktails would sour with
envy.
Another swarm brought soft towels
for the ladies to dry their lips on.
In accordance with Oriental ideas
the lady of the house asked Mrs. Heap
if there was any ornament she wore
that Mrs. Heap would he pleased to ac-
cept as souvenir, and looked quite
hurt when her guest excused herself
from accepting any gift.
Her jewels were magnificent, notice
ably large emerald. surrounded by
diamonds, worn in the shape of a
brooch

Horse Notes.

Three hundred and seventeen horses
have records Of 2:25 or better.
Overfeeding, irregular feeding, i'm
proper watering, and Indifferent groom
ing, arc all bad.
Very many of the diseases and all
ments with which horses are afflicted
are brought on by in different care.
Horses have been known to 60 1lind
from standing in dark stables. Tho
stables should be so lighted that tho
light will not fall directly on the
horses eyes. The windows should be
at the rear of the stalls.
WARTS ON HoRsEs.-Anoint the wart
several times with clean, fresh hogs
lard, about two days between times.
Fresh lard, by the way, is good for
cuts, bruises, gals. etc. A stock-koep-
or reports to us that he has cured
warts by applying tar.
To PREVENT CALLED SHoULDERs.-
Rub the collars inside every few days
with little neatsfoot oil. aud when any
dirt is found sticking like wax to the
collar. wash it off with warm sospsuds,
and then oil it; also oil any chafed
spot on the shoulder OF the horse as
soon as discovered. The same remarks
may be applied to the use of saddles, or
any part of the harness which happens
to gall.
SwHENY.--In young horses sweeny,
or wasting of the muscles of the shoul-
der. is often consequence of unsteady
pulling with an ill-fitting collar. Cup
ping the shoulder will not do. Apply
for some time once day potion Of
equal parts of oil of turpentine ana
tincture of cantharides. Shake the
bottle while applying the contents.
Liberty outdoors every day in suitable
weather.

The Use of Lemons.

The lemon tree is native of Asia,
although it is cultivated in Italy, Por-
tugal, and in the south of France. In
Europe, however, it seldom exceeds the
dimensions of the smallest tree, while
in its native State it grows to over sixty
feet in height. Every part of this tree
is valuable in medicine, though we
rarely employ any Of it but its fruit,
that is the lemon itself. And every
ono knows how to employ this, as in
lemonade: To squeeze the juice into
cold water-this is the shortest way
or to cut it in slices and let it coax in
cold water or to cut it in slices and
then boil it. Either way is good.
Lemonade is one OF the best and safest
drinks for any person, whether in
health or not. It is suitable to all
stomach diseases, is excellent in sick
ness-in cases of jaundice, gravel. liver
complaints, Inflammation OF the bowels,
and fevers. 1t is specific against
worms and skin complaints. The pip
pins, crushed, may also be used with
water and sugar, and taken as drink.
Lemon Juice is the best anti scorbutic
remedy known. 1t not only cures this
uISedse, Uut pIeNcutS II. IodllOIS udhc
a daily use of it for this purpose. 1
advise every one to rub their gums
daily with lemon juice, to keep them in
health. The hands and nails are also
kept clean, white, soft and supple. by
the daily use of lemon instead of soap.
It also prevents chilblains. Lemon is
used in intermittent fevers, mixed with
strong, hot, black coffee, without sugar.
Neuralgia may be cured by rubbing
the part affected with cut lemon. 1t
is valuable also to cure warts, and to
destroy dandruff on the head by rub
bing the roots of the hair with it. In
fact, its uses are manifold, and the more
we employ it externally and internally,
the better we shall find ourselves.
Natural remedies are the best, and ma
ture is the best doctor, if we would
only listen to it. Decidedly rub your
hands, head and gums with lemon, and
drink lemonade in preference to all
other liquids. This is an ola doctors
advice. Follow it.

Take Not Your Life.
BY MRS. II. A. KIDDER.

By MRS. N. A. KIDDER.
You LOOK at tie shining river
You gaze at the deep, deep sea-
And bt cause of your many troubles,
And because of your misery,
While the beautiful sun Is shining,
Or the moonbeams softly fall,
You say, perhaps, in your anguish
This hour will end it aU
Oh, tarry, world-weary mortal,
And question before you leap:
"Is it honest to end the being
That never was mine to keep?'
SIS it manly to leave ths dear ones
To battle with care alone?"
Is it safe with no heavenly summons,
To rush to the great unknown p
Remember, if you have courage
To LOOK at the matter right,
That no trouble will last forever,
And the bravo will win the fight.
That, oh friend, il we live for others,
Though drinking at sorrows fount,
When compared with the joy we give them
Our pain is of small account.
Then grid on the soldiers armor
And march to thc front to-day,j
Making war on the morbid fancies
That, ghost-like, intest your way;
Laying by all your selfish motives.
Contented to kiss the rod
Living out Ills appointed season
A man, with your trust in God.
