she knew that the bridegroom had in
deed come back, clothed and joyful, to
the bride; the lost spirit to the
strength and beauty of its first estate.
And she kissed the dead lips in that
last act of perfect love and cousecra-
ton, and knelt and thanked God.
A few days after Sans death, Ned
Hemingway, entering Mary's house,
either from curiosity or worthier mo-
tives, with a stammered apology, and
the words, "Of course it amt o. no ac-
count, but thought We might like to
which Sam had devised to her his pen
sion. AS he did this, the mirthful gro
GER cast down his eyes, and blushed to
the roots of his hair. Mary took the
little parchment, read it quietly, and
just the shadow of a smile played
about the beautiful tenderness of her
lips. Then she turned to the grocer,
and unconsciously transfixed him with
her clear, thoughtful, half-inattentive
gaze.
81 think Sam owed you something" :"
she said.
"Oh, no, no." stammered the grocer.
''That's all right. The boys IL see to
that"
81 should prefer to have you give
me the bill, Mary said and still trans
fixed by that cOurteously compelling
gaze, the abashed and reluctant grocer
complied.
Mary keeps the will in which Sam
gave her his pension, with a lock of
hair that was always golden and boy
ish, and the green-cOvered spelling
book. Sometimes in the pauses of her
toll she can smile her tender smile over
these; she can weep blessed tears over
them.
But if any one should say that hers
had been a famished heart-famished
for all the joyful possibilities, the wife
hood, the motherhood, that might have
been-the thought would pale before
the tranquil glory of her eyes. There
has come to the life of this lone watch
er on the mountain fullness such as
few may know. The autumn winds
that speak with their low wall of death
to the dwellers in the valley land be
low brings to her clearer sense sweet

"What naughty boy I" exclaimed

Speaking his Little Piece.

The other evening there was little
company up on Dayton street, and
during the entertainment the hostess
dragged her little boy to the front to
''speak a piece"
"Come, johnny, like good boy, and
speak 'Mary's Little Lamb for the la
dies and gentlemen"
johnny knew there was remunera-
ton in the background, and, the pre-
liminaries having been arranged in an
undertone, she slicked his hair and he
commenced
Mary had little fleece
Its snow was white wool
And every time that Mary lambed
That fleece would go 10 school"
"Now, now, johnny :" said his moth
er, "you know that isn't right. Say il
Just as you did this afternoon and I'll
=" here she broke into a maternal
whisper, and the boy commenced again
Mary had little lamb,
Whose white snow as fleece
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb would go apiece"
Johnny, Johnny ~ chided the
mother, ''that isn't right. Speak il
right this time. The ladies and gen
tlemen never heard it. Now go on :"

Amends.

Storm is not good but when storms pass
And clouds are fed and airs grow mild
And waves plAsh softly one by one,
And weary earth, her conflict DER,
Lies like lovely sleeping child,
We feel joy unknown before
In tree and flower and rain washed grass,
new significance in sun.
Pain is not sweet, but pain is best
His cold hand has the magic keys
Which unlock treasures to our Dyes
Hidden in daily trivial things;
And common comfort, common ease
Respite from common sufferings,
The mornings task, the evenings rest,
Are to us riches past all price.
Life may be hard: but when lite ends,
And all the hard things are gone by,
And every ashe has been relieved,
And every tear is wiped away,
And softly on the ravished eye
Breaks the clear dawn of heavens day,
Joy shall for grief make such amends
That we shall wonder that we grisved.

Der, which 1t must puzzle many to tell.
1t is not, however, any such malforma-
ton, but what it is is much less certain.
Such persons bleed easily from not only
the skin when wounded, but from the
gums and mouth and mucous membranes.
They also bruise easily. and in TIE same
way it is probable that the troubles in
the joints from which they suffer are to
be explained by supposing some slight
injury to the synovial membrane, and
subsequent escape Of fluid to the cavity
of the joint. We do not know what is
the malformation or disease which pre-
dispeses to such an easy escape of the
blood from its proper channels. The
chemical constitution of the blood has
been thought by some to be at fault, the
smaller blood vessels by others; but no
chemical or microscopical Investigations
that have been conducted as yet have
been anything but contradictory, and
therefore have been without result. One
curious fact, however, has been elected
from various observations that have been
made, and this is that it has been heredi-
tary to marked degree, and that it is
transmitted along the male much oftener
than along the female ine.-Br5t58b

Snare Not That Tree

Attention has been lately called in the
columns of LIS Mode (Paris) to the in
furious effects on health that are apt to
follow a residence near the common
shade treee known as the buttonball -
or "plane" tree. The fact has long
been known that day near these trees
is often followed by an irritation of the
air-passages, followed by disagreeable
and sometimes persistent cough. This
is due to the fact, familiar to botanists,
that the young shoots, leaves, and stip-
ules are covered with thick, fine down,
composed of minute branched rigid
hai1s) which falls off as these parts be-
come older, and often floats in the air in
large quantities; it is the inhalation OF
this that causes the throat difficulties in
question. Besides this, it frequently
causes serious annoyance to employees in
nurseries where the tree is raised, un-
less precaution is taken against it.

Facts About Terrapin.
[From the Philadelphia Times.


From the second to its fifth year the
terrapin leads kind of vagrant life and
is let alone because of no market value.
1t finds safety from voracious crabs and
fish because it continually burrows in
the soft mud, never venturing any dis
lance out to sea. Sometimes the little
reptile burrows three feet down in the
soft mud. During this period of youth
full growth it feeds on the refuse of the
clam, oyster and other little shell-like
creations with which salt water so
abundantly abounds; but when permitted
to choose its food it is known to pass by
all it's old sea food and feast on dried
beef. When the reptile is five years old
it measures nearly six inches across its
diamond armor. It is now ready for the
market, though it has not reached
perfect maturity. When it has attained
its seventh year It's romantic flavor as
sumes its highest perfection, and q
ynorsel has been found fit for the palate
of the gods

part of his own brigade, he raised his
gun from the ground and discharged it
full in the face of the corporal, killing
him instantly. At this discharge the
squad fed, the picket went ip, and the
works all along the mountain began to
shell the woods, while the garrison were
called to arms by the long ROLL At
night he lay there bleeding, stiff and
cold, until they came toreplace the pick
cts and found him. He was carried into
Gen. Hoods headquarters, there told
his story, had his wounds dressed, and
the day Kenesaw was evacuated he dined
at his old cabin on the Chattahoochee.

A NIGH IN HE RED SEA.

The strong hot breath of the land is lashing
The wild sea horses they rear and race;
The pfunging bows Of ship dashing
Full in the fiery south winds face.
She rends the water. it foams and follows,
And the silvery jet Of the towering spray,
And the phosphor sparks in the deep wave houoWs
Tighten the line of our midnight way.
The moon above, with its full orb'd ulster,
Lifting the veil of the slumb'rous land,
CLEANS Ger desolate island cluster,
And the breakers white on the lonely sand.
And bare hill-range in the distance browning
Dim wrapt in haze Hike shrouded ghost,
With it's Jagged peaks the horizon crowning,
Rroods Ger the stark Arabian coast
See on the edge Of the waters leaping,
The lamp: far-fashing, of PERKINS, Strait
f2Ettera and grows, as the ship goes sweeping
Fast on its course for the Exjle's gate.
And onward still to the broadening ocean
Out of +he narrow and perilous seas,
Till we rock with large and istess motion
In the moist soft air of the Indian breeze.
And the Southern Cross. like standard flying,
Hangs in the front of the tropic night,
But the great bear sinks, like hero dying,
And the Pole-star lowers its signal light
And the round earth rushes toward the morning.
And the waves grow paler and wan the foam;
Misty and dim, with glance OF warming,
Vanish the stars of my Northern home.
Let the wide waste sea for a space divide me
Till the close-coil'd circles of time unfold
Till the stars rise westward to greet and guide me
When the exile ends, and the years are told

A Drowned PickereI.
From the Ogemaw Herald.l

A pickerel weighing two and ne-half
pounds was found drowned in the lake
above the dam Wednesday. It was
caused by the attempt of the pickerel to
swallow sunfsh four inches in width,
which lodged in the larger fsh's mouth,
and both fish undoubtedly died in few
moments. The jaws of the pickerel
were stretched to their utmost capacity,
and on account of the back fins of the
sun-fish it required no little effort to dis
lodge it. When found, these two fish
had only been dead few hours, and
were lying on the bottom of the lake in
four feet of water, 1t was strange cir
cumstance, the like of which we never
heard of before.

Her Position.

Rev. Edwin Thompson has raised a
roar of laughter probably a thousand
times with the story of the countryman's
wife and children who thought they were
all constables because the husband and
father had been elected to the office OF
constable. A visitor was complimenting
the wife of a prominent public function
airy on the high social position she held.
" Yes, and you are very kind, sir, to say
it." said she, but what little social
distinction L may have acquired is en-
tirely due to my husbands Office. Ii he

A Novel Industry in London.

From the Pail Mall Gazette, of Loudon.l
One of the most picturesque sights in
the squalid back streets which lie be-
tween Leicester Square and Lincoln's
Inn Fields is the goatherd going on his
daily rounds. There is something ex-
ceedingly primitive and even romantic IN
the spectacle. The French peasant who
owns the small flock of goats which sup
ply many families with their mornings
milk saunters slowly behind his doclle
herd. They know the round as well as
their owner, and pick their way across
the network of streets with the utmost
familiarity; nor do they neglect to pick
up any vegetable garbage that may be
lying across their path. When he nears
the house of a customer the goatherd
plays on a pipe, supposed to resemble
tn..t of the NEUROLOGICAL Pan, pleasing
and even poetic substitute for the mel
ancholy howl of the native milkman.
When the order is given the goats halt
before the door, pennyworth OF milk Is
drawn off in tiny measure, nearly
score of which barely fill quart. While
one goat is being MIXED, the others
stand by, nibbling stray cabbage-leaves
or eagerly eating the crusts OF bread
which children bring to them from their
mothers table. The milking over, the
herd moves on to rake another halt
where another pennyworth is required,
when the process is repeated. The pro-
cession is again resumed, and kept up
until the end Of the walk is reached or
the goats are dry. 1t is a curiously
Arcadian custom to exist in the heart of
London, and it may be doubted whether
one Londoner in a hundred has ever
heard of the existence of the wandering
goatherd and his obedient flock.
