TMo Visions.


Where close The curving mountains drew
To clasp the stream in their embrace,
With every outline, curve, and hue
Rejected in its placid face,
The plowman stopped his team to watch
The train, as swiftit thundercd by;
Some distant glimpse oflife to catch,
lie strains his eager, wistful eye.
The morning freshness lies on him,
Just wakencd from his balmy dreams;
The travellers, begrimed and dim,
Think longingly Of mountain streams.
Oh, for the joyous mountain air,
The fresh, delightful autumn DAY
Among the hills Tho plowman there
Must have perpetual holiday
And he, as all day long he guides
His steady plow, with patient hand,
Thinks Of the flying train that glides
Into some new, enchanted land.
Who're, day by day, no plodding round
woaries the frame and dulls the mind
Where life thrills keen to sight and sound,
With plows and furfogs left behind.
Even SO, to each, tho n'rol ways
ofiie are touched by fancy's glow,
That ever sheds it's brightest rays
Upon the path we do not know
--Agacs M Mqfhm, III Norctba' Centu!

The EyesIght Of Readers.

A writer calls attention TO the danger
which readers run Of injuring their eye
sight by the use of q bad light He
remarks that engravers, watchmakers
and others, who use the eyes constantly
ia their work, take extra care to pre-
serve them by getting the best possible
lieit by day, and using the best artif-
cial light at night. The great army Of
readers are careless, and have, sooner
or later, to pay the penalty Of their
carelessness by giving up night work
entirely, and sometimes reading, OK.
cept OF short intervals, and under the
best conditions. All departures from
common type, making the matter more
difficult to take In, increase the danger.
The magnitude Of the physical labor Of
reading is not appreciated. A book Of
800 pages, forty lines to the page, and
fifty letters TO the line, contains 1,000,-
600 letters, all Of which the eye has TO
take in, identify and combine each with
It's neighbor Yet many q reader viii
go through such q book in day. The
task is one he would shrink from il h.
should stop to measure beforehand,
The best positions and the best lights
clear type, plain inks, with the best
paper OF yellowish tlnLs, and abundant
space between the lines, afford the best
safeguards against harm.

Polishing A End, y Finger TIps.

A Clara Belle Boyd in a New York let
ter, describes a visit to "manicure,"
as follows
When my time came sat in row
with five other ladies, all in the easiest
of arm chairs, and with damask napkins
in our laps, Finger-bowls of stained
glass on plates Of painted French china,
filled with tepid water perfumed and
containing an acid to soften the skin,
were given us, and solemnly we sat and
aked our fingers for fifteen minutes
at the en- of that time an Operator"
on a low stool seated herself before me,
dried one hand, posed it on pink satin
cushion, and with fine steel inslru-
ment quickly scraped away all the soft
skin around the nail, then she fled
it into point at tho top and clipped
the sides with sharp scissors, then she
rubbed a red salye over it ; wiped it off
and proceeded topolish with the diamond
powder, using the palm of her hand,
until the nail fairly glittered, and finally
warm water, CASTLE soap,and soft brush
left it clean, smooth and shining. The
process was repeated on every finger
and in half an hour, for the sum of
$3.50, was finished and the result was
ten pink and brilliant weapons of de-

Until the ladies of our day resumed
the ant.quated fashion of high heels
bunions were shown up only in bur-
lesque, aud there is more than their
ridiculous absurdity to be condemned
in wearing them. The weight of the
body Is thrown upon the toes, which are
thus unduly bmdened, AMI thrown for
ward against the front Of the shoe.
But worse than this, the ankle has many
o twist or wrick, the step is not firm or
secure, and the further tendency of all
this is to give to the spine more curva-
ture than even fashion ordains in the
"Grecian bend" Add to these un-
lovely results the clabter of the heel
blocks, and we have total, not less
disagreeable than that Of the patterns
of our grandmothers, which had at least
the strong recommendation Of utility.
II is true that high heels make the in.
step seem higher; but surely no proper
minded person would be guilty of a
sham. And further, as the heel of the
foot is kept up above It's proper level
the muscles whose duty is to raise it
are enfeebled by he loss of that exer-
else. These muscles are the calf OF the
eg, which will thus dwindle away to
the leanness Of decrepit age, and be-,
come O "shrunk shank" il this un-s
seemly distortion be long persisted in.
"The animal machinery" says Sir
Charles Bell, "can be seen in perfection
only when it is kept in full activity.
Exercise unfolds the muscular system,
producing a full, bold outline of the
limbs, at the same time that the joints
are knit small and clean Look at the
legs Of poor Irishman travelling to the
harvest with bare feet; the thickness
and roundness of the.c calf show that the
foot and toes are free to permit the
exercise OF the muscles OF the legs
Look, now at the legs of an English
peasant whose foot and ankleare tightly
laced in boot with an inhexible sole /;
and ycu will perceive, from The manner
Ia which he li;.s his legs, that the play
Of the ankle, foot and, toes is lost %
much as il he went on stiitsVsnd there
fore ore his legs small and shapeless.
In short, the natural exercise Of the
parts, whether they be active or passive,
Is the stimulus to the circulation
through thom exercise being as neces-
sory to the perfect constitution Of a
bone as il is to the perfection Of the
muscular power."-- Chambe's Journal.

was 10 note Of explanation, bnt he
knew who had sent them.
Ennged ard astonished, he immedi-
ately sought Lillian for an explanation;
but the servant who answered his i'm
patient ring said that she was "not at
home"
A week later, Frank Carleton started
for the West; and so these two lives,
that have been all in all to each other,
drifted farther and farther apart.
Five years later. 1t was the evening
OF Mrs. Roderick Forests ball, and
the best society of Melville was there.
Lillian Whitney leaned back in the en-
brasure OF one of the windows, and
hidden by the flowing draperies of the
curtains, watched with dreamy half
closed eyes the bright, merry throsg in
the ball room. Her beauty was more
spiIitueUe than it had been five years
ago, and the proud look on her face had
softened into more tender, more wo-
manly curves. She was decidedly the
belle of the evening, and it was only
hy much skillful maneuyering that she
had been able to gain this quiet retreat
for few moments.
All at once she caught her breath
with sudden gasp of pain, and placing
her hand on her heart to stop its Wild
beating, leaned forward and peered
out.
Yes, it was surely Frank Carleton
she saw, though he was very much
changed. Tall and straight and bronzed,
with heavy mustacbe and beard, he
looked at least ten years older, and GER
tainly a great deal more handsome and
manly than he had looked five years
ago.
Chow noble he looksl" Lillian
thought, with sudden thrill. "Oh,
how could misiudge him so by my
dalk suspicionsY And now / have lost
him foreverl" And the hot tears Of
bitter anguish and remorse iIickled be-
tween her daintily gloved fingers.
The curtains parted, and Mrs. Roder.
iek Forrest and Frank Carleton stood
before her.
"Lillie, love, you thought you would
outwit us this time, but you see You
have failed, for l knew where you were
all the time. Allow me to present
why, child, are you ILL"
For, white and trembling, our hero
inc had sunk down, looking like a
broken lily. She had thought she
could bear the meeting firmly and
calmly, but her strength failed her at
the last moment,
When, few minutes later, she
opened her eyes, she found
Frank Carletons arms were ABOUT
her, and that he was showering kisses
on her face. For q moment she felt as
il she could die for very happiness,
"Frank," she whispered, "oh, Frank !
Can J ou forgive me after | have wrongcd
you SO deeply?'
"Hush, he said "hush, my darling
/ have nothing to forgiyeI' u
"She has told me oil" !" she went on,
''your sister Maud how you have loved
her, and how much you have helped
her, while her miserable drunken hus-
band was alive. And oh, Frank I mis-
judged you so cruellyl / did not know
she was your sister !"
"of course you did not, he said, ten
derly. "Has not your mistake made us
miserable for five long years? Do not
mention it again, my darling" and he
stopped her lips with kiss.

The Beauties OF POfysgssl1y.

Some Of the beauties Of polygamy are
brought out by the..Salt Lake T,tSbune through
| q published interview held with q Mrs. Raj
eigh, wife Of one of the lights of the Nor
mon church, from whom she is endeavoring
| to obtain a divorce. The plaintiff is de-
| scribed as az intelligent, fne-looking lady,
whose hair is but just tinged with gray, the
combined result Of years of life and welded
bliss. Her story is like that Of a great many
| Of the women who have married into the
| church. She first went into Mr.. Raleigh's
| family as a nurse to his former wife, who
! was upon q bed Of sickness, from which she
never rose. She declined to accept lthe pro-
posal Of marriage when first made, but in
| obedience to the mandate of Heber G. Kim
ball, then one of President Young's counsel
lors, and to whom disobedience was worse
than contempt Of court, she at last acceded.
Her honeymoon was not q particularly
bright one. but she took upon herself the
care Of her husbands children by his first
wife, and was a mother to them during many
years that followed. She was allowed to
work all she pleased, and sometimes more,
from the beginning, and, as stated In the
complaint, aided in every way to build up
the fortunes Of her lord and master. AS a
specimen Of what was expected Of her, one
instance may be related alone. Shortly after
their marriage one of the COWS died down In
q pasture-lot at the edge of the town, it was
supposed from having in some way become
poisoned. She was sent with a Danish boy
to skin the dead body, which they did, and
Mrs. Raleigh carried the hide over her
shoulders to the house, her husband mean
time standing with a linen buster on and a
w~alking-cane in his hand, experimenting
the work.
In the course ofstime new wives were add
ed TO the household, the number eventually
reaching eight, and at one time six Of them
occupying one house and working and eating
together in one small room, which served as
kitchen, dining-room, sitting-room and par
lor. Each had a seperate sleeping apart
ment. They were all expected to earn a liy-
ing, and if they wanted anything special in
the way Of clothing, etc, they bought II
themselves from money made at washing or
otherwise. The head of the household
bought his supplies by the quantity, and
kept them under lock and key, dealing them
out with a sparing hand. He was suspicious
slWays that his wives were trying to rob him
and on one occasion, when he thought he
missed q dress pattern off of a bolt of com
mon heavy goods, he searched the apartments
of his wives, examining the bedticks, looking
in small drawers that would not have con-
tanned the bulk Of the dress, and when
urged sarcastically by the plaintiff, even
peering into a pair Of stockings which were
hung up in the room.

a. Funny e.

A capital joke, says the New Jersey Pat
riot, and all the more palatable because it is
true, and can be vouched for, took place q
few Sundays since at one Of the prominent
Fourth street churches. It seems that q
worthy deacon had been very Industrious in
selling q new church book, costing seventy
five cents. Atahe service in question the
minister, just before dismissing the congre-
CATION, arose and said:
SAL you who have children to baptise will
please present them next Sabbath
The deacon, who, by the way, is a little
deaf, having an eye to selling books, and
supposing his pastor was referring to them,
Immediately jumped up and shouted:
Cali you who haven't any can get as many
as you want by calling on me-, at se%venty-iye
cents each"
The preacher looked cr%oss-eyed at the
brethren, the brethren looked at the clergy
man, the audience punched the audience in
the side, the bubble grew larger until it burst
into a l~oudlguffaw. Ladies colored up, Grim
soned, and thanked the Lord for the low
price Of peopling the earth. There was no
benediction that morning worth speaking Of.
