A Pitiful and Strange Romance.

1t has been developed in the City
Hospital at indianapolis, some years
ago, that the widow of soldier placed
her daughter at an orphans'home, where

gentleman withwhom she lived, ,andsome
time after found herself seeking shell
ter and aid at the Indianapolis hospital,
where she gave birth to child. One
day the friend of her orphanhood at the
home, the superintendent's daughter,
now happily married, visited the ward,
and, recognizing her in her distress,
bocame the instrument of bringing the
poor girls mother to her bedside, and
then wrote to the young man, the father
of the child, who came to the hospital
and was married to her. The second
day after, with one hand clasping hei

Newspapers as Feet Wraps.

Complaining Of the misery of long

without any foot-warmers in the car
riage, and the consequent pain of cold
feet, she told me that she had practi-

matter.-They were making long jour

get no hot water tins put into their car

the deficiency, for his newspaper would
more than compensate for it. So he
took off her boots, and tearing his paper
in halves, wrapped each foot carefully
up In it. In few minutes circulation
seemed to return to her benumbed feet,
and she assured me that she arrived at
the end of her journey in perfect COM

was not to be lost, and my friend told

Daisies and Clover.

Little girl upon the street,
Laughing eyes and tripping feet,
With your hands all running over
Daisy blossoms and flowers of clover
You to me picture bring
OF long-lost, sunny spring;
Waving woods and sunset skies
Come like dreams of paradise.
Little girl, when coming days
Hold for you their memories,
When in womanhood's white land
You shall happily one day stand,
Keep your childish faiths as sweet
AS the blossoms at your feet,
Tho your hands no more run over
With the daisies and the clover.
Some day, little maiden fair,
With the wind-tossed, sunny hair,
Shall you flush at loves sweet praises,
That are sweeter than the daisies:
Woman's hopes and woman's love-
Sweetness sent from heaven above
With these shall your hands run over,
Dropping daisy blossoms and clover.

A Perpetual Ice-GOrge.

Within an hours drive from Phila-
delphia may be Witnessed one of the
strangest sights in this country-a per-
petual ice-gorge. This gorge exists at
the foot of the Blue Mountains, back of
Swattswood Lake and Vaudeville, and
is but few miles west Of Newton. 1t
is several hundred yards in extent, from
ten to thirty feet deep, with numerous
caves and clefts in the rock where the
ice lies. The main gorge is located but
a short distance from the mountain, and
the shade at that spot is very dense, the
sun apparently never penetrating it.
The entire bottom of the gorge is GOV
cred with thick, clear ice, and the crew.
ices and caves are filed with it. That
it is natural ice- house, there can be no
doubt. Hundreds of tons might be
taken out without appreciably decreas-
ing the quantity. Much of this great
mass has doubtless lain there for years,
the ice gradually melting on top and
being added to each year. The ther-
mometer, which during shot spell''
registered one hundred and three de-
grees in Newton, marked just thirty
eight degrees at the same time at the
bottom of the gorge-too cold for 8
person to remain there any length oi
time. A few feet from one end of the
gorge spring of the most delicious,
sparkling water bubbles up through the
ice. 1t tastes slightly of iron, and is
very satisfying to thirst. This water
stands at thirty-four degrees-about as
could as one could comfortablydri it

The Valentine.

At a counter richly laden
With st. Valentines choice sonnets
Stands very charming maiden
In the shaggiest of bonnets;
Her love-locks and her tresses
Appear halo golden.
While the style in which she dresses
Is extremely quaint and olden.
She inspects the glowing treasures,
Silken, fringed, and satin banners,
And scans their ardent measures
In the gracefulest of manners.
Now and then saucy Cupid
Pleases this bewitching critic,
But the verses are too stupid
For taste so analytic.
Ger forget-me-nots and roses
Like butterfly she wavers,
Till the honey one discloses
Proves the daintiest of favors,
With this nectar Love insnares her,
And he holds her in possession,
And he tempts her and he dares her
To the following confession:
eff I had the brush of Watteau,
And the wisdom of the sages,
could paint worthy motto
On this loveliest of. pages
But no truer heart is beating
Than the heart which beats for you, love
So send simple greeting,
And sign myself your True-love."
Satisfied with her selection,
As the clerk she reAimburses,
For the missive of affection,
From the prettiest of purses,
While she fastens furs and plushes,
Unaware of admiration,
In conscious way she bushes,
Thinking of its destination.
Will certain hero wonder,
Ere the trusty seal is broken,
If his fate is hidden under
Shelter of this tender token?
Will he, when his heart discovers
Who has sent this timely warning,
Be the happiest of lovers
On st. Valentines own morning

AGAY DECEIvER.

Jacques Bruhiere is an artist whose
NEUROLOGICAL pictures have most de-
+! lightful modern air. His Grecian god
desess look like Parisiepnes; their
wind-blown hair, their high-heeled san
dals, and peculiar twirl given to their
drapery have captivated the Partisan
ladies. So they crowed Jacques studio
and implore him to let them sit for
Dianas and Andromedas. But he is a
most unromantic fellow, and is swayed
by no consideration other than those of
gain. Although he is but thirty, he has
gained fame and some fortune; and he
is SO industrious that he flies from use-
less words and time -consumers-thati is
to say, women and bores.
A year ago, just after the art exhibit
closed, Jacques determined to go on a
sketching tour. So he packed his trunk,
assisted by his friend, Eugene de Lassi,
and was bidding adieu to his studio,
when the servant entered with a note.
1t was nice little note, daintily per-
fumed, and the address was written in
the most delicate hand imaginable. He
read it, frowned, and crumpling it up,
threw it on the floor.
"Confound the women ! " he said.
"What's the matterp" asked his
friend.
"Why, I'm such an unlucky fellow, u
said jacques. "There's always some
woman or other bothering me, writing
about how much she admires my paint
ings, and how she'd like to see me, and
all that sort of thing. Just as if man
would say he would like to see my
paintings because he liked the cut Of
my beard. Look" said he, picking up
the letter, "address Nine. Leonie, such
street and number"

"Why, what will you do with it?" sale

starry eyes frightened him.
"a lackey!" she hissed; Ga base

With sudden impulse of fury she
snatched up pretty toy, silver pom
lard, which lay upon the table. and
sprang at Eugene. Quick as a flash
the artist dashed between them. But
quick as he was, he was too late. The
poniard struck Eugene in the side, in
Aicting deep wound. As she did so,
Leonie uttered shrek and tainted
away.
Eugene's comedy had become a
tragedy.
"Truly, pretty sight for the studio
of an honest, hard-working painter"
groaned Jacques Bruhiere, as he gazed
upon the two prostrate forms. "This
comes of obliging your friends. Catch
me doing it again"
**** *xx* **#* xx*x
Three years had passed. Leonie was
in the brilliant salon of the Countess de
Sagone, whose house was always filled
with the literary men of the day, and
she invariably secured the literary lion.
She was making her way through the
brilliant throng toward Leonie.
"My DEAR" said she, when she
reached her, shave you read that novel
of which all Paris is talking-'Les Deux

"Do you know its author?'

"Yes, and l want to present him to
you. All, there he is. Monsieur de
Lassi !" and in another moment there
stood before Leonie-the false painter.
For moment she hesitated, but the
old spell reasserted itself, and she
found herself listening, almost against
her will, to his pleas for pardon. And
he pleaded his cause most eloquently.
81 am half inclined not to forgive
you," she said, at length. "You acted
abominably, you know you did,"
II acted like fool and knave,"
said Eugene, "and you ought never to
pardon me, but you will, won't you?"

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
A Boston Girls Whim.

bOstOn tslris w n1ms
For the past seven months there has
been living with the Omahas, thirty
miles below this city, an educated
young lady-a Boston lady, too-who
is for the time member of the tribe,
because she hopes in this way to learn
something of the inner life Of this, the
Oldest tribe, excepting the Pawnees, in
this part of the West. This lady, Miss
A. G. Fletcher, was in the city, on Tues.
day, with DR.. Wilkinson, agent of the
Omahas and Winnebagos. The agent
says that on taking charge of the Oma-
has few weeks ago, he found this lady
with them and nearly starved. Miss
Fletcher is brunette, soIidly built,
about 25 years old, rather good
looking, and with directness of speech
and way of standing silent while irrel-
evant conversation is going on that
probably comes of her present mode of
life. Miss Fletcher intimated to DR..
Wilkinson that before coming to the
Omahas she had been with some of the
warlike northern tribes, and from her
present place of study she would go to
the New Mexico Pueblos. thence to the
Flatheads of Washington Territory, and
return East by way of the Sioux country.
