HUMAN RAvENs.-Those people who
are always croaking out prognostica-
tions of evil are great nuisances. They
are those who see spots in the sun,
blemishes in every one, and to whose
morbid mind the world is always grow
ing worse. Morbid, unsatisfed, slug
gish-livered people, only one degree less
aggravating than those who persist in
crying up the glories of the "old times. "
and in ignoring all the evidence of
modern progress. Now and then one
is tempted to wish that there could be
fair division of people, and all the
grumblers be closeted off into one cor
ner, all the bright-tempered, sun-shiny
people into another. The ranks of the
croakers would soon be thinned,. and
the army of those who believe in "hu-
man possibilities" would grow. "The
sunrise never failed us yet, and up the
east another day shall chase the bitter
dust away" A realization of that fact
would help along more than all the
growing over ignorance and folly and
evil ever has done or ever will do. Hope
and belief in the possible brightness of
the morrow, faith in the capacity of
man, woman and child.to rise. are what
the world needs.

A NIGHT IN THE RED SEA.

The strong hot breath OF the land Is flashing
The wild sea horses, they rear aud race;
Tha plunging bows OF our ships are dashing
Fall In the fiery south winds face.
She rends the water, II foams and follows,
Aud the silver let OF tho towering spray,
And tho phosphor sparks in the deep wave
hollows,
Tighten the line of our midnight way.
The moon above, with Its full-orb'd lustre,
Lifting the veil OF the slumb'rous land,
CLEANS DER des0late island cluster,
And the breakers white on the lonely sand.
And bare hill range an the distance frownlng
PIN wrapt In haze like shrouded ghost,
With its jigged peaks the horizon browning,
Broods Der the dark Arabian coast.
See, on the edge of the waters leaping,
The lamp, far flashing, OF PERKINS, Strait
6litters and grove, M the ship goes sweeping
Fast on its course for the Exile's gate.
And onward still to the broadening ocean
Out OF the narrow and periOus seas,
Til We rock with large and listless motion
In the moist soft air OF the Indian breeze.
And the Southern Gross, like a standard flying,
Hangs IN the front OF the tropic night,
But the Great Bear sinks, like a hero dying,
And the Pole-star lowers its signal light.
And the round earth rushes toward the morn
lug,
And the waves grow paleI and wan the
foam;
Misty ana dim, with glance of warning,
Vanish the stars of my Northern home.
Let the wide waste sea for space divide me
TIL the close coil'd circles OF time unfold
I III the stars rise westward to greet and guide
HE
When the exile ends, and the years are told
The Cor phiU MaqdeiTe.

A PLUCKy WoMAN's REWARD

A PLUCKY WoMAN's REwARD.-The
New York Stats Zeitung is printed in
building occupying the site of what
was once the country residence of one
of New Y ork's earliest governors-Gov.
Tyren. This handsome and stately
structure. built of white granite, is a
monument to the courage, common
sense and indomitable perseverance of
German lady, whose husband died
several years ago, leaving her a little
newspaper and family of six children.
She was offered $500 for the paper, but
would not sell. The editor, who had
been in her husbands employ, agreed
to continue at his post, and as he was
well fitted for his work and was not
interfered with in the editorial depart
ment, the little journal began to make
money. Its circulation among the
Germans increased very rapidly, and
the widow found herself growing very
rich. Fearing size might lose the young
man who had been 50 useful in advanc-
ing her fortunes she married him. At
his suggestion, a few years ago, the
present Staats-Zeiting building was
erected at cost of 100000. The pa
per is now one of the most valuable
properties in the country; and Oswald
Ottendorfer, still its editor-in-chief, is
one of the leaders of the Germans in
New York, in all political movements.
Mrs. Ottendorfer had educated and
settled in life all her children; but has
not yet relinquished the business con-
troll of the Staats-Zeitung. Every
morning at 10 o'clock she is to be seen
in the publication Office attending to
the finances, making contracts for
printing paper or presses and giving
orders as to the employment and dis
charge of help in the mechanical de-
partments. Every year she gives away
large amounts of money in charities
and one of her noblest works in this
direction is "home" for old women,
on which she has already expended
more than $4,000.

Modern Surgery.

The latest triumph of modern sur
gerry is the repair of Boston woman
who had fallen seventy feet and broken
her necks. The neck was broken just
as the necks are of culprits who are
hanged on the gallows-namely by the
dislocation of the vertebr@. Fortu.
nately the spinal marrow was not in.
jured or the repairs could not have
been made. Having chloroformed the
poorlwon.an, the physicians had the
pleasure of hearing the bones and liga-
ments snap as they forced the displac-
ed vertebI8 into proper position. The
woman, on awaking, seemed to think
that her head had come off and that it
had been put on crooked. This oper-
alton suggests new field of experiment
on the bodies of executed criminals.
Attempts have frequently been made,
sometimes with partial success, to re-
store life by means of powerful cleo
trio currents. Let the next surgical
experimenters try setting the dislOcat-
ed neck. 1t can't do the man much
harm and might set him partially or
wholly to rights. There seems to be
hardly any limit to scientific research.

and on re-entering beheld the young
lady kneeling in the middle of the floor,
sobbing aloud.
Approaching, he raised her from the
floor, and applied glass of water to
her lips.
He then asked her the cause OF her
grief.
"Griefp' she replied, sit is for Joy
that weep. But there Is one thing
that do not understand, and that is
why you, stranger, should have
deigned to buy the estate and get the
deeds drawn in my NAME"
"Miss Williams, do you not know
meY" he asked.
She looked at him moment and re-
Piled: "You have the advantage of
knowing me while you are yet a
stranger to myself"
"Then will be no longer. Let me
see the Deeds" She handed them to
him, he withdrew a moment, and soon
returned and handed her them again.
She could hardly keep her footing as
she beheld the change in every place
where the name of the stranger had
appeared as "Charles Ransom" to
"Charles Ransom Perry"
1t was her old friend and lover
Charley. And so she called him the
first time she had occasion To ask a
question.
Charley" said she, "what can ever
do to repay you for the good that you
have done this day?"
by keeping the promise that you
gave me three years ago." he re-
piled, and she answered him by
laying her head ON his breast and look
ing up into his eyes with look of the
fullest confidence.
In short time they were married;
and Charles has been often heard to
say that he was not sorry he gave
$4,000 for the old Williams estate.

good, amiable, and affectionate daugh-
ter, and obedience to her father was the
first law of her nature. Her mother
had been dead score of years, and Ma
bel could not recollect of ever having
seen her, so that she had not had the
advantage of a mothers advice. There
fore, she went to her father for council
in all matters wherein she needed it.
She and Charles formed for one
another an early attachment, albeit one
was ignorant of the others feelings.
Upon one occasion she and Charley
had been for a ride in the carriage, and
were returning home. Charley thought
he had lived in suspense long enough,
and preached the subject next his heart.
He told her how he had learned to love
her by being in her company for the
last three years, and also how he had
striven to gain the confidence of her
father that he might be near her, and
have the pleasure of her company each
day. She in return admitted that he
had won her love, but told him that in
order to become his wife she must Oh
tain her fathers consent. This Charles
was afraid would be no easy task, as it
subsequently proved; but they rode
home in hopes that it might be obtain
ed and that two loving hearts might
be permitted to enjoy the society of the
other. But they were to be disappoint-
ed in this, for when Mable with her
arms around her fathers neck, told
him of their affection for each
other he stormed and swore by turns,
and finally ended by discharging Char
ley forthwith. And poor Charley was
Obliged to depart from the place that
had become paradise to him in the
last degree. But he was undaunted.
He resolved to 60 to California at once,
and told Mable of his resolve. She
could do no more than to wish him
success in his undertaking and bid him
good-by with tears in her eyes, and a
farewell clasp of the hand.
Remember me-" she said, "when
you are far away; and perhaps some
day we may meet again under more
favorable auspices than now; and above
all be true to me. For my part will
be as true to you as the Robin in yon-
der elm to his mate"
Charles gave her his promise, and
pressing on her lips kiss he left her
to seek his fortune.
