TWO SONNETS.

.EEdwin Arnold, author of Light Of Asia" ,"
ford Revisited Z" j
Mother mild Mother after many years
So many that the head | bow turns gray
Come | once more to thee, thinking to say
In what far lands, through what hard hopes
and fears, ...-ss g. .s.tg.ss.
Mid how much toll and triumph, joys and
tears,
/ taught thy teaching; and, withal, to lay
AT thy kind feet such of MY wreaths as may
Seem the least withered. But what grown
child dares
Offer thee honors, Fair and Queemly One
Tower-crowned, ,and girdled with thy silver
streams,
Mother of-ah so many better son?
Let me but list thy solemn voice, which
seems
Like Christ's, raising my Dead; and let me be
Back for one hour-a boy-beside thy knee
tDr Holmes sent this sonnet TO a recent
dinner of Harvard graduates in New York ::
Yes, home il sweet! and yet we needs mus
sigh,
Restless until our longing souls have found
Some realm beyond the fireside's narrow
bound
Where slippered ease and sleepy comfor
lie
Some fair ideal form That cannot die,
BY age dismantled and by change un
crowned,
Else life creeps circlirg In the self-sam'
round
| And the low ceiling hides the lofty sky.
| All, then to thee our truant heart return,
Dear mother, Alma, Casta-spotless, kind
Thy sacred walls larger home we find,
| And still for thee thy wandering children
yearn,
While with undying fires thine altars burn
Where all our hottest memories rest en-
| shrined.

From those six there are fifty Or more combi-

was shut and you may perhaps realize the
effect of the following, told with little OF
the Scotch burr clinging to the preachers
tongue, and the "plain speech making the
pathos stronger: One of the young girls In
little village was led away into sin, perhaps
by the example of some of her companions,
and leaving her home went away to London.
But one day, while proceeding along the
street, she came by church ana heard the
congregation singing an old tune she knew
well. She paused moment, and while lis
tening sudden vision came to her OF the
home she had left, her father and mother,
the quiet village, and the simple and pure
life that had once been hers. A longing
swept through her heart just to creep over
the threshold of home once more and sit at
her mether's feet, no matter If it were In sin
and IN shame, even though she brought her
disgrace home with her-mether was there
and forgiveness and love were there. So she
travelled the long distance to the little viii
lage, but, feeling that she must not be seen
coming home by the neighbors, weary and
footsore and longing though she was, she hid
In the fields until dark, and then she waited
and waited, fearing she could not make i
right with "feyther," until "feyther sheuld
| be gone to bed and she could find mother
sitting alone. And when she came to the

the lights were out and she remembered the
door was shut at night. Yet at any rate she
must 20 on, and her heart leaped again when
| she found that the door was open. Light as
was her foet when she stepped within, one
ear heard 1t and her mothers voice, low and
trembling with hope, spoke from an inner
room: ssJeanie, is it youa" . Yes, mother

Spake the mother: "Ah, Jeanie, lass, thia
| door has nae been shut since ye left"

What u Surveyor Missed.

A surveyor who was running township
lines In . new county In Texas last fall was
engaged by farmer to survey the line be-
tween his farm aud that of neighbor. They
had line fence, but had engaged In several
disputes as to whether 1t was on the divide.
The surveyor was making preparations when
the owner of the other farm approached and
inquired:
aWhat are you going to do now?"
aFind the exact line," was the reply.
AT this the man wheeled and went off on
the gailop, and he was seen no more until
the line had been run. The surveyor and
first-named farmer had just completed the
work when the other came mp to within
about ten feet Of them and asked;
swell, have yeu got through2n
aYes, all through"
aAnd Is the fence a foot on his farm?"
.No; he has two feet OF yours, and the
fence must be moved 50 that you can have
it.n
The man sprang upen stump, faced .
thicket about five rods away, and cried out :
aYou there-Reuhen and James and Sam

right! You kin shoulder them shotguns snd

A Tree that Yields Soap.
London Globe.


Our artipodean colonies sught certainly
TO act upon the advice rendered to them by
Baron Ferdinand Won Muller by experiment
ing with the cultivation of the quillaja sap
onaria, or soap-yielding tree. II Is affirmed
by the Colonies and India that the tree 10
fast disappearing from the forests OF Chill,
Its chief habitat, owing to the recklessness
with which the natives strip of the bark,
which contains the saponaceous element.
One contemporary asserts that for dressing
silk and wool chemical science has not yet
discovered any equally efficient substitute
for this bark, and Ii has, accordingly, come
into large demand, both In France and En-
gland. But Australia and New Zealand, be-
ng,rreat wool-producing countries, are even
more interested In procuring supply Of
such q powerful aikaloid, and - the climate
In somc parts Of these grand British colonies
,nns, be somewhat similar to that Of Chill
there seems no reason why the qusliajs
should not become acclimaiized out there
This would be grateful return on the par'
of the outside world for the obligation con
fcrred upon II Sby the fransplantaiion q tne

Habit of Untruth.
Examiner and Chronicle.

Examiner ana CArontcte.
Some men seem to have constitutional
inability to tell the simple truth. They may
not mean to lie, or to tell an untruth, but
they are careless--careless In hearing, care
less In underst anding, careless In repeating
what is said to them. These well-meaning
but reckless people do more mischief than
those who Intentionally fement strife by de-
liperate falsehood. There Is no fire. brand
like your well-meaning busy-body, who Is
continually In search of scandal, and by
sheer habit misquotes everybody's state
ments. ...
This carelessness Is a sin of no small mag
nitude. A mans duty to God and his fell
lows requires him to be careful; for what
else were brains and common sense given
him? OF course that other class, the ma
lignant scandal-mongers, who take fiendish
pleasure in prom citing strife, who deliberate
ly garble mems words and twist their senti-
ments, is in the minority, and people have
very decided opinion regarding them. Most
men misrepresent because they don't seem
to think that care In speaking the truth Is q
pre-eminent duty.
The effects of this careless misrepresentine
of others are seen everywhere. Its effect on
the individual is to confirm him in habit Of
loose, distorted, and exaggerated statement
until telling the truth becomes moral i'm
!! possibility. No other thing causes so many
long standing friendships to be broken, sc
many dissensiens in churches, SO much bit
terness in communities, and so much evi
everywhere. II Is an abuse that calls for th'
rebuke of every honorable man--a rebuk'
that should be not only gwen in words wheI
occasion demands, but by example. Th'
Persans were said to teach their youth thre'
things: To ride, to draw the bow, and Il
speak the truth. A little more instruction
on this latter head would do no harm to ou
advanced civilization"

MRS. 4. r. STEWARDS HOUSE.
How the Richest Widow In New York Lives
In Retirement.
Cincinnati Gazette.

Cincinnati Gazette.
A Judgment has been entered up against
Mrs. A. 7. Stewart fsr ST, ,02s.54, in favor Of
Thomas Stringham, q laborer who was In
jured while in her service. This was ocea-
stoned by the fall of an elevator at Garden
City. Mrs. Stewart has passed seven years
In widowhood, and during that time has oc-
cupied the most spacious house ever built In
the Fifth avenue previous to the Vanderpils
palaces. She lives here entirely aiene, with
the sole exception of her hsusekeeper, nan
a dozen servants, and the coachman. Inc
establishment Is kept closed, and in appear
ance at least Is one of the loneiiest places IN
the city. The palatial structure stands BACK
from the street at least thirty feet, for Stew
arts taste required display Of retirement.
Viewed In front, the immense structure ap-
pears like the abode of silence. The curtains
are down, and the broad porch which graces
Tbirty-fourth street is seldom entered until
evening. In fact, the enormous building
now suggests the idea of q mausoleum.
What Is to become of It? This Is very In
teresting question. Its occupant is old ana
can not last long, and hence the place is Pc
culiarly liable to the law Of mutation. Mrs.
Stewart seldom leaves the building, but the
servants can easily step out by the rear gate,
for they never use the grand entrance. Judge
Hilton and Mr.. Libby often make short calls
and DR.. Marcy is occasionally in, but these
exceptions hardly break the long reign oi
silence. The first floor contains the receiv'
ing-room, drawing-room, dining-room, and
picture gallery. The ceilings are eighteen
feet high, except the last mentioned, whicf
| is nearly forty. Ascending marble stair
case, the library is reached. and also th'
Stewart bedroom and the apartments TO
guests, all gorgeously furnished. Think o
so grand an establishment being solely oc
cupied by a widow aud her servants! Thi
| nalace. like most structures of the kind, i
| highly inconvenient. One would think, In
deed. that 1t was built more for appearance
than for comfort. The latter, however, /
rarely considered In the domestic architectur
of a great city. Had Stewart been dispose
to make q spacious and accommodatin
house he could easily have accomplished hi
object; but what would the world say? Tn
determination to excel all that had gone oe
fore him led to the construction of this show
but inconvenient house. Reader, think
that feeble old lady being compelled to max
the ascent of thirty-six steps (each 81
inches) is order to reach her bedroom. N
wonder the poor creature got a severe fai
from which she suffered in serious and prs
tracted manner. Personally speaking, Mr.
Stewart Gas / saw her recently In public)
a small woman and wears brown wig, HI
sole ornaments being diamond earrings of
very snowy character. She is the riches
widow In the city, being worth at least szo
100000.

Moonlight Photography.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 10.-Richard
Jahr, young German photographer and
chemist, has reversed . rule Of science by
accomplishing the feat Of taking the first
photograph by moonlight. The late lament
ed Garfeld's tomb in Lakeview Cemetery
was the subject, which, to Americans, adds .
double interest to the important discovery.
The work was accomplished with new gela-
tine bromide plates, which are very sensitive
end will take picture fifteen times quicker
than with the old process. The plate was
exposed seven hours, and the photograph is
perfect but peculiar. The sky is very white
and the foliage black, while the vault, robed
In the mantle Of moonlight, loons up In per-
feet outline. During the earlier part Of
night the shadows fell T. the westward, and
toward morning to the eastward, lending .
peculiar melancholy but beautiful effect.
The discovery causes considerable excite
nent among artists here.
Mr.. Jahr Is o native Of Berlin, pupil Of
the eminent German photographer, DR.. vo-
gel. He came to America In August, 1851,
and to Cleveland about two months ago.
