RESIGNATION.

Beneath the sheltering fern full long ago
! The violet lay faded,
And by the brook-marge now the asters GLOW
BY hame-eafed naples shaded;
Withered the grass and flowers. fruit fallen
| branches bare
But who will care?
From these dark clouds, this dreary woodland
scene,
With needless haste receding,
Toward skies that ever smile, bowers ever green.
The birds their fight are speeding;
Only the rocks harsh cry sounds on the shiv-
ering air
But who will care?
and aye
Some high ambition cherished,
There lie but sadness and despair to-day,
And hopes forever perished;
Fires now within the heart leave only ashes
there
But who will care?
Friends fail-a tickle throng-and plume their
flight
Toward fortunes happier greeting:
Their fiattering tones are still, a gruesome
sprite
Alone is aye repeating
Despair, despair, despair and yet again de-
spair
But who will care?
Who care? Not I, forsoothI Beside the brook
A snowy shroud is falling;
Upon the leafess bough tn uncanny rock
Ceaseth his dreary calling;
And weary hearts oblivions peace and rest
shall share;
Then who will care?

Story of a Song.
The Southern World tells this little

The Southern World tells this little
story
John Howard Payne, author of ''Home,
Sweet Home" was a warm personal
friend of John Ross, who will be remem-
bered as the celebrated Chief of the
Cherokees. At the time the Cherokees
were removed from their homes in
Georgia to their present possessions
west OF the Mississippi River, Payne was
spending a few weeks in Georgia with
hoss, who was occupying a miserable
cabin, having been forcibly elected from
his former home. A number of tba
prominent Cherokees were in prison. and
that portion of Georgia in which the
tribe was located was secured by armed
squads of the Georgia militia, who had
orders to arrest all who refused to leave
the country.
While Ross and Payne were seated be-
fore the fire in the hut, the door was
suddenly burst open and six or eight
militiamen sprang into the room. The
soldiers lost no time in taking their pris-
oners away. Ross was permitted to ride
his own horse, while Payne was mounted
on one led by a. soldier.
As the little party left the hovel rain
began falling and continued until every
man was drenched thoroughly. The
journey lasted all night. Toward mid
night Payne's escort, in order to keep
himself awake, began humming, "Home,
home, sweet, sweet home" when Payne
remarked:
Little did expect to hear that song
under such circumstances and at such a
time. Do you know the author ?"
''No," said the soldier. ''Do you?"
eyes" answered Payne. 81 composed
it.
''The deuce you did. You can tell
that to some fellows, but not to me.
Look here. You made that song, you
say. If you did-and [ know you didn't |
you can say it all without stopping. |
1t has something in it about pleasures
and palaces. Now pitch in and reel it
off, and if you can't I'll bounce you from
JOuI hOIoC anu lCttOl SOu luStSdl VI IL.
The threat was answered by Payne,
who repeated the song in a slow, sub
dued tone, and then sang it, making the
old woods ring with the tender melody
and pathos of the words. 1t touched the
heart of the rough soldier, who was not
only captivated but convinced, and who
said that the composer of such song
should never go to prison if he could
help it. And when the party reached
they were, after prelimin-
ary examination, discharged, much to
their surprise. Payne insisted that it was
because the leader of the squad had been
under the magnetic influence of Ross's
and Ross insisted that they
had been saved from insult and impris-
by the power of ''Home, Sweet
Home, sung as only those who feel can
ing it. The friendship existing between
Ross and Payne endured until the grave
,losed over the mortal remains of the
after.

Some Controversies.

In matters of controversy, the woman
usually has the best of it. A witty old
author advises men to avoid arguments
with ladies, because III spinning yarns
among silks aud satins man is sure to
be worsted and twisted, and when man
is worsted and twisted he may consider
himself wound up.
The above retort might be matched by
dozen others culled from domestic con-
troversy, in which the woman has come
off triumphant. "Really, my dear, "
said friend of ours to his better half,
"you have sadly disappointed me. L
once considered you jewel of woman;
but you've turned out only bit OF mat
rimonial paste.
''Then, my love, was the reply, Soon
sole yourself with the idea that paste IL
very adhesive, and in this case will stick
to you as long as you lve." "See here, "
said a fault-finding husband, 1--WE must
have things arranged in this house SD
that we shall know where everything Is
kept"
s'With all my heart, sweetly answered
his wife "and let us begin with your
late hours, my love. should dearly
love to know where they are kept. Hs
lets things run ON as usual. 1t is not
often, however, that one comes across
such crushing retort as that which
Sheffield husband received from his wlie
the other day, through the medium u
the public press.
He advertised in one OF the local Jour-
nails that he, Thomas A, would no lon
ger be answerable for the debts incurred
bv his wife. who seems to have been a
truly amiable creature, if one may judge
from the advertisement which she pub
lished next day in reply " This is to no.

ali my own debts, now that / have got

The End of a Duelist.

The Comte de Larilliere, one of the
well-born among the bretteo~S, met one
day In the street business man named
Castera walking with his young and pret-
ty wife. He advanced to him and said,
with polite bow, 81 beg your pardon,
but have made bet with my friend
here, whom beg to introduce to you,
that 1 would kiss your wife while she
was walking with you here the other
man turned livid-" after having given
you slap in the face"
Castera fought him next day with
pistols. The Counts first shot hit
Castera on the right ear, his second on
the left. Before the third he said,
Cette .fois je .terai naouch, and with the
third he shot Castera through the eye
Castera was avenged in a manner
dramatic enough. One night, as Laril-
here sat in his favorite seat in cafe,
while masked ball was going on hard
by, stranger in a domino and mask
came up to him, overturned his glass of
punch, and ordered a glass of orgeat in
stead Larilliere, for the first time in
his life, turned pale, and cried |: "You
scoundrel; you don't know who am.
"Oh, yes," the stranger replied, &c
know who you are quite well, and with
the words forced him down into the
chair from which he had risen. The
orgeat was brought, and the stranger,
holding pistol to Larilliere's head,
said /:
'Unless you drink this off I shall blow
your brains out on the spot; if you do
drink it off I will do you the honor of
fighting you Tomorrow" "With the
sabre, cried Lariliere, who had lately
been practicing with that arm. ''How
you like" said the stranger Then as
Larilliere drank off the orgeat, he added:
81 have humbled you enough tonight
[ put off killing you till tomorrow. The
morrow came the adversaries met, and
Larilliere found that he had met his match.
The stranger left him not a moments
breathing space; but never followed up
his attacks until at last Larilliere cried in
solently: "When are you going to kill
me ?'' 'Now," said the stranger, for the
first time using his sabre like dueling
sword, and lunging straight through Lar
illiere's heart. Masses were said in the
churches of Bordeaux for this man. who
kept his name secret, and who had rid
the town of its scourge. The Saturday

DOMESTIC RECIPES.

MINcE MEAT. Thoroughly cleanse
four pounds of cUrrants and remove the
stones from four pounds of raisins cut
up two pounds of candied citron, one
orange peel, into shreds or very small
dice; remove the skin and then chop up
four pounds of fresh beef suet, and place
this with the currants and candied peel
in an earthern pan; next chop the raisins
with four pounds of peeled apples, and
add them to the other ingredients; trim
away all the sinewy parts from eight
pounds of roasted sirloin of beef, and
chop all the lean of the meat quite fine;
this will produce about four pounds,
which must also be placed in the pan; to
the foregoing must now be added four
pounds of moist sugar, four ounces of
ground spice-consisting of nutmegs,
cloves, and cinnamon in equal proper
tions, with the grated rinds of twelve
oranges, and of the same number of
lemons; the whole must be thoroughly
mixed together, and pressed down to a
level in the pan; put the lid on the pan,
place cloth over it and tie it down close,
SO as to exclude the air as much as pos
sible; the mince meat should be kept in
cool place, and will be fit for use in a
fortnight after it is made

Spread all this in a large napkin, well
buttered, fold up the corners of the nap
kin, and tie to the level of the pudding,
so as to make it round then plunge the
pudding into saucepan of boiling wa

constant boiling. Take it out and let
it drain in sieve cut it from the top so
as to keep on a level, and then turn it
out on dish, removing the napkin care
fully, so as not to disturb the fine part
of the pudding. Sprinkle with little
sauce. Serve a little sauce separate.

TOBACCO AMONG SCHOOL BOYS.
Some Surprising Information Obtained by
Reporters in Boston.

The Boston Journal has completed al
investigation concerning the use 0
tobacco by the school boys of that city
with result which is so astonishing tina
doubtless the attention of parents every
where will be drawn to the figures. The
best detailed inquiry, iudiciously made
In schools of all grades, leads to the
conclusion that the age at which the non
users OF tobacco come to be in the
minority is but few months over ter
years.
Worse yet, it was incidentally learned
that among girls the smoking of mild
cigarettes is not by any means unknown
On first inquiry among the teachers ot
boys, the estimates given about the ex-
tent Of tobacco using ranged from 80 tc
10 per cent, according to the class and
age of the pupils and the masters knowl-
edge of the subject. When induced to
make a detailed investigation, the in
structors were astounded at the revela-
ton.
narcotic upon the boys, and the method
of dealing with the practice by some of
che masters, is full of suggestive points.
The head master of the Latin School
had no doubt that half his boys, the ages
ranging from IA to Is years, used tobacco
to some extent; but he did not believe
that the habit affected the intellectual
standing of the school as whole.
In some cases he had traced falling
off in health and scholarship directly to
the inordinate use of tobacco. Most of
the boys did their smoking surrepti-
tiously, though a few said they used
tobacco openly at home, with their par
ents' consent. The use of tobacco in or
near the school premises is prohibited.
The head master of the English High
School, wherein are about 500 boys,
didn't believe many of his boys smoked
an opinion which greatly amused the
lads when questioned out of his hearing.
In making individual remonstrances
with the smokers, the master of this
school had often learned that the boys
were encouraged to smoke by their
parents.
''It's difficult matter to deal with, F."
he continued. ''Many parents reason as
does much-esteemed Judge whom [
know. He was afraid his boy would
smoke whether forbidden or not; so he
prohibited the use of cigarettes, but
furnished him with money to buy good
cigars, and told the boy to smoke, if at
all, openly and at home, and not to skulk
behind somebody's back fence or at the
bottom of some alley. Other fathers do
the same thing because they prefer the
smoking to the bad company it leads to
if forbidden at home"
Among the grammar schoolmasters
there was n great difference of opinion
as to the extent of the evil, and there was
found a corresponding difference among
the boys, according to the place where
the schools are situated. Information
from tobacco dealers showed an immense
trade among school boys.
{" But do you know" said Washing
ton street dealer, " that nearly half my
trade in cigarettes is directly or Indirectly
among women and girls? Girls, some of
them in the high and normal schools, I
know are in the habit of taking an
occasional Whit, for the sake of their
nerves, as they say"

tine in it, that caused the animals un-
