She turned her wandering gaze to-

seemed scarcely to recognize me.

And then she tainted in my arms.
The long, long brain fever that fol.

time when they told me she would
never know me again, bnt thank God,
she did. She recovered at last. And
since that night have never tasted a
drop Of liquor, and, please heaven, l
never will again. The baby, bless its
dear little heart, wasn't harmed at all.

MY LADY.
Thus do | dream

Thus do | dream
Sometimes of q summer day
When the wind blows fresh from the hill
| Cleansing our souls from thoughts of i'll,
And our limbs are washed by the mountain
stream)
What my lsve should be-
| If God would fashion her form for me
Gracious and stately, yet withal
Most gentle minded, slow to please
And not profuse of word
fnll of tranquil Kindness for all,
Lest to the super.sense
Ut humble minds chance speech give offense.
Not quickly stirred
10 tears or laughter, love or strife
Right nobly simple in her way of life
Yet joying healthy in all this world can give,
Sincehoy minds in healthy bodies live,
And beauty cannot harbor with disease,
But above all most true,
And rather over.trustful than inclined
10 see the evil sooner than the good
In each mans mind,
oe'uhS IhuS should l. higher than u would -
Nor ever restless for things now.
And TOR her bearing, would have her tall
And iissom as young shoots in May
That rise and fall
Marking the cadence of the breeze
Rather than bending TO the sway,
With eyes like summer seas
Mocking the blue above,
within those infinite azure deeps
A golden secret sleeps
Whose holy calm hath never yet revealed
To day or night
The worlds Of treasure that do lie concealed
Beneath their crystal sheen,
But wait the coming of the light
The coming of the light of love-
50 would have my queen
Her voice should be silver sweet.
Pure as the chime of a holy bell;
And my heart should beat
And answer its sound again,
A'twin lutes throb to single strain.
Therein should dwell
| he music of my life, now and to be:
The noblest thoughts God ever gave TO me
'honJd be set 10 its exquisite melody.
This is my dream of a midsummer bonr
BegOt
BY the fairy power
II few fond rhymes that my heart holds dear;
And turn and trcmble her step to hear
Yet she cometh not.

We hadn't been married long, Polly and
me, when it happened Polly was as trim
and brlght-eyed a slip of a girl as ever
you'd wish to see. She was one of the
mattresses in the Albany lunch room;
and the first time | ever set my eyes on
her | made up my mind to make that
girl my wife. So, when they raised nv
wages, took heart and asked her if she
would have them with me, with web
ding ring thrown into the bargain.
"Do you really mean it, Jake ?" said
she, looking me fully in the face, with
those dark, blue eyes of hers, that are
like skies in the night.
~ do really mean it, Polly" said l.
"Then, said she, putting both hands
into mine" Fll trust you. Fve no living
relative to advise, so l can only take
counsel with my own heart.
SO we were married. rented a If

NO" he replied, "to tell you the
truth, don't" and as it was the first
time he had seen her since she got back,
the suggestion uttered struck him with
some alarm.

Miraculous Recovery 81 Sight--one
Eye . Telescope, the other
Microscope.

I HARTFORD, COM, August 5.--Last
Winter gentleman living near Itch
held took his daughter, l6 years Of ago,
on q sleigh ride. Tho day was cold.
but very sunny. On their return tho
girl complained Of her eyes. The trouble
grew worse, and finally the girl was
kept in dark room and there remained
with no ray Of light until few days
ago, when she experienced . peculiar
sensation which she describes as follows.
ut seemed as ifmy eyes were running
out, or part Of them. Putting nay hand
tony eyes could feel something coming
out over my lower eyelids which I took
hold Of and pulled ont. It gave me
some pain to do so, but almost lmmedi-
ately my eyes felt better. Instead Of q
smartlng sensation when l winked.
they felt cool and natural, and IL was 8
pleasure to wink them. Then came the
thought, why, my eyes are better, and
! believe could bear the light which
thought was SO impressed upon my
mind that was determined to try.
Hesitatingly / opened the door, when to
my great joy found that was able to
bear the light as well as ever could.
The feeling that came over me at the
moment that / found out that could
once more leave the dark, dismal room
and see the glorious sunlight again was
SO oyerpowering that ! gave one scream
for joy and tainted away
Now comes the strangest part Of the
story. Six months ago the girls eyes
were straight and natural; now she is
cross-eyed, but she pays no attention to
that. She sees things just the same as
she always aid, but let her close
her right eye, and she can see a
distance of eight or ten miles, and dis
hngulsh things as an ordinary person
only 6O rods away. She is able to look
clear to the lake, distance of three
and a-half miles, and identify any one
describing their dress even. The dis
5ant hills are brought close to her. and
she can see the farmers getting in their
nay, even counting the number Of heaps
which in an air line, are seven miles
rom her. TO test her, field glass was
Used, and her sight would far outreach
my object that conld be seen will, the
glass. If she closes her left eye and
ooks out Of the right, then she cannot
ZEE anything except close to her, but
hat eye is a perfect microscope. She is
bile to distinguish things that the nat
ral eye cannot see. The point of q
eedle looks as blunt as a crowbar and
is wonderful to hear her describe the
eautifnl colOrs of flies and other in
ects. TO her the hairs on persons
cad look as large as darning-needles,
nd in the finest piece of linen she
cunts the threads as easily as any one
an count bean-poles. The moment
he opens both eyes they assume the
ross-eyed expression or shape, and then
'e sees again as any other person. It
