BOB FLETCHER.

BY TOWNSEND HAISEs.
once knew ploughman,
Bob Fletcher his name,
Who was old and was ugly,
And SO was his dame;
Yet they lived quite contented,
And free from all strife,
Bob Fletcher the ploughman,
And Judy his wife.
As the morn streaked the east,
And the night fed away.
They would rise up for labor,
Refreshed for the day;
And the song of the lark,
As 1t rose on the gale.
Found Bob at his plough
And his wife at the pail.
A neat little cottage,
In front Of q grove,
Where in youth they first gave
Their young hearts up to love,
Was the solace OF age,
And to them doubly dear,
As it called up the past,
With q smile or tear.
Each tree haO It's CnOuSnt,
Ind the vow could impart,
That mingled in youth
The warm wish of the heart;
The thorn was still there,
And the blossoms it bore,
And the song from the top,
Seemed the same as before.
When the curtain of night
Over nature was spread,
And Bob had returned
From the plough to his shed,
Like the dove on her nest,
He reposed from all care.
If his wife and his youngsters
Contented were there.
1 have passed by his door,
When the evening was gray,
And the hill and the landscape
Were fading away,
And have heard from the cottage,
With grateful surprise,
The voice Of thanksgiving
Like incense arise.
have thought on the proud,
Who would look down with scorn
On the neat little cottage,
The grove and the thorn;
And felt that the riches
And tinsels of life
Were drOss to cOntentment
With Bob and his wife.

Chicago Grain Elevators.

Their aggregate capacity is 16, $40, 900
bushels; individual capacity from 5000
to 100000 bushels. They are in diff
ferent parts of the city, but those at the
disposal of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad give nearly one-third OF
the whole capacity One of the newest

cd" may 6e taken as what it is the
fashion to call representative" ele-
vator. 1t certainly is very fine one,
and should be seen by all inquiring Wis
itors. 1t was begun In 1875, Is $50 feet
long, 100 feet wide, and 145 feet high,
required 5000, 900 feet of lumber In its
construction, and cost $3.50, 600. One
can easily obtain permission to inspect
it, and the superintendent will enlghten
his Ignorance, or increase and qualify
his knowledge, as the case may be. He
is conducted to a little "elevator" (here
is this confusion of names again; it Is
what our English friends call a Gift },
and hoisted to the topfoor. Atone end
he sees, swiftly passing over q shaft, the
largest belt in the United States, $50
feet in length and eighty inches in width.
Below him are great scales, and bins
sixty feet deep. A fine and suggestive
dust gradually covers his clothes as he
listens to the polite cicerone, who is tell
ing him that there are twenty-six stand
ard Fairbanks scales In the building, and
that they weigh so accurately that IN
an aggregate of six carloads there was
only shortage of thirty pounds be-
tween est. Joe" and Chicago. But
"look out for the engine when the bell
rings" A train has come in below full
of grain in bulk. Into car goes a
great Shatte or nozzle; somebody pulls
lever, and, presto away has gone that
grain up into o weighing bin, then
down into another receptacle of pro-
funtlity and security. 1t dawns on the
observers mind that one mans property
is by no means kept separate from an
by State inspector; it is weighed in"
and weighed out, and all that is need
full is that the contents of each bin
should be homogeneous. But here
comes another train-empty cars to be
filed for the East. Men wanted, with
shovels, to laboriously handle the.
grain? Not at all Down comes that
shute again; boards are put across the
| doorways OF the cars, and In one of them
! after another the grain runs up foot by
foot. In less time than any one would
think possible few minutes to each
car-the train is entirely loaded, its
doors are closed, and the engine Is
drawing it out again, to be delivered to
one of the Eastern trunk ines.-A. Il.

"And so Kate Owen is coming here -
said Absalom Burr to himself, as he
paced to and fro in his small, dingy
apartment. 'Why don't she get married
and go about her business2 A plague

chose to marry jim Owen, and then die,
and leave this girl behind, L must take

Incidents of Cape Cod Life.

A walk on the shore in the early morn
ing brings you in company with the fish
ermen launching their boats, and sailing
over the bay to draw their nets, which
often are filed with blue fish or macker-
ell. The water is alive with many a
whitened sail, and in the morning sun
light the sight is an extremely pretty one.
As the fishermen reach the shore the
first question asked them is, show many
fish this morning9"
But the great excitement is when
school of black fish appear off the shore
Then the enthusiasm knows no
bounds. The cry ''Blackfsh!" will star
tie the whole village like the cry of
"Firel' although 1t will not awaken the
same emotions. The alarm is sounded
and rc-echoed through the streets, men.
women and children rushing over the
hills to the bay in hot pursuit; and there
is reason for this excitement, as there is
money in it, Every boat that can be
obtained is filled with an eager and anx-
ious crew; for every one who Joins IN the
race gets his share In the profits no matter
who he or she may be. The fish are dri-
ven In to the shore and killed for the
blubber and the excellent quality of oil
which is taken from the jaw-bones and
and used for oiling the works of watch
es. A great deal of money is made in
this way and oftentimes a single "share"
will amount to fifty or seventy-five dol
lars, while ten or fifteen dollars is almost
always received.
There are many amusing stories told
about the appearance of black-ish, and
they are not "yarns," either. On
one occasion, when services were being
held in the village church here, the min
lister being engaged in his seIno;, some
one in the street cried out "Blackfshr'
Many in the congregation heard 1t, and
a rush was made for the door, when the
minister cried out "Stopl" Some turn
ed about, expecting to be reproved, but
the minister in his excitement only said,
"Now all take fair startI' and Joined
the crowd himself, and when pursuing
the fish shouted out "Hallelujahl Hall
eluiah" He got his share which
amounted TO twenty five dollars.
At another time one man, who had
failed to put In an appearance until the
fish were driven in, claimed his share, as
he had not heard the alarm as soon as
the others. A town-meeting had to DO
called to settle the matter, and though it
was unanimous vote that his share was
forfeited, yet he plead his case so do-
quently that "half share" was voted
him.

pered, "God bless youl 1 will never own
a home where you may not 60"
When the warm breath of summer
came, the old man moved into a good
house, and ere long after wards Kate
gave her hand to an honest, industrious
mechanic carpenter by trade. And
then came the business. Absalom found
money, and Kate's husband found the
skill, and new houses went up in the
thriving village. The old man was busy
now, and as his simple, abstemious life
had LETT him with noble constitution,
he was spry and strong.
And Absalom Burr and his niece were
not the only ones who were blessed by
the opening of that hardened heart. No
far from it. Hundreds there were who
basked in the warm sunlight of the no
BILE charity that flowed from the ample
source which Hates gentle wand had

The Kind of Rest Literary Men Need.

Mr.. James Payn, the novelist, does
not believe in too much rest for literary
men. He says that. "although good
amount of sleep is absolutely necessary
for imaginative brain work, long holidays
are not so. I have noticed that those
who let their brains lie fallow,' as it is
termed, for any considerable time. are
by no means the better for it; but, ON
the other hand, some daily recreation,
by which genuine interest is excited
and maintained, is almost indispensable.
= r What is needed is an altogether
new object for the intellectual energies,
by which, though they are stimulated,
they shall not be strained" There Is a
great deal of sense in this advice.

Another home appears; upon the snow
The lingering twilight shed its parting glow
And gave that dreamy landscape with the
hue
Of earth and heaven, all blended, to the view,
Till shade by shade it slowly crept away,
Like some weird ghost of the departing day,
And darkness wrapped the outer world from
sight
And brought the stiffness of the winter night.
In the room when night advancing
Set the fire light CLEAN to dancing
With the wild, fantastic shadows on the wall,
And the husbands days work ended
Left him with his legs extended
On the huge, olG fashioned settle, broad and
tall.
There | see the mother sitting,
AS she gently takes her knitting
Work from out the curious baskel that the
Indians wove-
Sitting in her old position,
On patchwork, feather cushion,
In her own low rocking chair beside the stove.
Then her nimble-handed daughter
Started up and swiftly brought her
Cherry light-stand from the corner where it
stood by day
Spread the linen cloth in order,
With tied fringe around the border
Brought the candles with the shutters and the
tray.
Like miser with his riches,
Counting one by one the stitches,
So she "widdened" and she narrowed" DER
and DER,
While the dog, of sleepy habits,
Lay and dreamed of cha sing rabbits,
And the kitten chased the ball upon the floor.
So she sa. there slowly rocking.
AS she knit the little stocking,
Looking up with many nod and tender
smile
At her children's faces rudy,
As she saw them at their study,
Softly humming some low ditty all the while
And each note, perchance, was bringing
To her, as she sat there singing,
Its own story of the shadowy long ago;
Then moment seemed to blend her
Voice with memories yet more tender,
And a lullaby came from her soft and low.
Knitting still, and never speaking,
Naught was heard except the creaking
OF her chairs unceasing motion to and fro
Till her ball of yarn diminished,
And the baby's sock was finished,
With little tip of wilderness at the toe.
And then came her boys distractions,
Puzzlmg DER his Vulgar Fractions,
But she said, My son, tonight l would not

Came to the children's ever listening ear;
And quick they crowded round the frosty

To watch their father coming home again.
And then the youngest climbed upon chair,

Even Kate was surprised Dy this; but

When they rose to depart, at the end

Martha took the money with fearful
eyes, and Mr. Burr heard more blessings
as he turned away. Widow Wildredge's
