Rusainn EnterprIae.


Late yesterday evening a young
Russian peddler rushed into
the stationhouse and exclaimed
to the officer, Coon nit me |
Coon nit mel Ker wick Fellar
shooting me NIT two big bistOls in all
hands" The officer went with him
to the ferryboat John OvcrtOn, where
another Russian. who had so much
beard on bis face and wore such shaggy
clothes that he resembled hair trunk,
was found lounging about on the
guards. He was searched for pistols
but none were found He voluntarily
opened his valise when the officer told
him the nature Of the complaint
against him, and displayed a little
pistol Of the toy variety, which he
declared wss the only weapon he
possessed. He said that he had been
annoyed more than once by the boy,
who was a rival peddler. and who has
crossed Arkansaw just in advance
of him, warning the people that he
had smallpox and it would be danger
GUS to trade with him. As Oonse-
quenoe men, women, children and dogs
cleared the way when he approached
aud he was nearly starved to death
aud almost pennileSs.
1t is astonishing how quickly tn,

takes hold of foreigners and imbueI

CHAPTER V.
Mr.. Littleton Coke, in the land of dreams
Where an ideal glory ever beams,
Had seated himself meath a shady tree
And his eyes were fixed on a buzZing bee
While his heart went back to the happy hours
When he, like the bee among the flowers
Went sporting around with the girls so gay,
In days that forever had passed away
He thought, and wept as he wiped tear,
Some " fairy-like music" sounded near:
And, looking up with glad surprise
vision of beauty bleSt his eyes,
A maiden fair was standing there,
with brow OF snow meath her raven hair
The matchleSS bloom of her rounded cheek
The blushing rose would be vain to seek;
More fragrant far was her tempting mouth
Than perfumed airs of the sunny South.
AS he gazed entranced on the lovely maid
she advanced TO him with a shining blade:
With smile of grace she babe him take
The truSty sword for n maiden'S sake,
For with the gift she made him her knight,
holy war OF reform to fight.
Mr.. LittetOn Coke, like a prudent man,
Asked the maiden fair to unfold her plan;
He wished to see if it met his taste
The ground on which the reform was based
AS he asked her this on his ravished ear,
From an unseen minstrel lowering near,
Came witching strain that rose and fell
Like the whispered tones of an ocean shell,
With curtSey low, and an earnest glance
The maid moved round in a may dance.
Then did the wondering Littleton spy
A sight that k1ndled his heart and eye;
He said to himself, This angelic maid
She wore hat, and beneath its shade
Her raven curls with the zephyrs pladed:
And no wantOn sunbeam came to sip
The honey dew of her rosy lip
A " BlOomer" frock was buttoned tight
Around her neck Of pearly white
Just to the length prescribed by taste;
And then in unSullied folds to swing
As pure as is a birds bright wing
Beneath her frock. with ample flow
Her Petitions, * like driven snow,
Came down in gathers pure and neat
Above her tripping tiny feet.
Our hero gaZed, then on his knee
Bent to the fair divinity.
And thus exclaimed II car but bless
maiden fair in such dress
Name then the cause in which to fight,
Henceforth am your trusty knight,
And here swear by this good blade!
BY hopes that in my heart treasured
If must meet host arrayed,
And every foeman's steel to measure
Each thought of thee on battle field
A warrior mailed i'll proof will be:
Thy name engravened on my shield
A tailSmen of victory"
Then on the lips of that fair Miss
He sealed his oath with one sweet kiss.
Thus spoke the maid: Rise up, Sir Knight!
In dreams no longer tarry!
Awake Construe your dream arightl
Select wife-and marry"

In the old times those beamy buttercups
We're purest gold. the coinage of the sun
Their mother cOuHtry-and 1 knew of them
Legends more sweet than poet ever spun.
In the old times, like mimic meteors
The sunbeam-shuttles, through the leafy looms
OF beach and MAPLE wove most wondrous

In figures fashioned out of lights and giooms;
Wove glory-blazoned banners, Haunting far.
Aud Melted hangings for the misty doors
Leading to Elfland fabricated then
Strange phantom carpets, for strange fairy
floors.
OF the old woods the music echoes still,
Deep in my heart. and not one tone has died;
The red-bird's carol and the robins song,
The crckePs chirp. along the streamlet side,
hear them yeti hear the breezes too,
Murmur and murmur endless melody
About the farOff stars, and other lands,
Aud streams unmeasured running to che sea.
Over that lovely seeEe the loving SKY
Bends. as of yOre, and blossom odUrs go,
Gu vewless wings, abroad, and fair ferns

Where dusky, shadOw-sheltered MOSES grow.
Forever green, forever beautiful,
Among the mist-wreathed mountains, far

The old wood lies, and seems like holy ground
To one who dreams OF 1t by mig ht aud day.

What Wives Are For.

Philadelphia Record.
1t is not to sweep the house and make the
beds and darn the socks and cook the meals
chiefly that a man wants wife. Ii this is all
he wants, hired servants can do it cheaper
than wife. If this is all, when young man
calls to see a young lady. send him into the
pantry to taste the bread and cakes she has
made; send him to see the needlework and
bedmaking, or put a broom into her hands
and send him TO witness its use. Such things
are important and the wise young man will
quietly look after them. But what the true
man most wants of a wife is her mpanion-
ship, sympathy and love. The way of life
has many dreary places in it, and man needs
a companion with him A man is some-
times overtaken with misfortune; he meets
with failure and defeat; trials and tempta-
tons beset him, and lie needs one to stand
by and sympathize. He has some stern bat
ties to fight with poverty, with enemies and
with sin, and he needs woman that, as he
puts an arm around her, feels that he has
something to fight for. will help him fight;
who will put her lips to his ear and whisper
words OF counsel, and her hand to his heart
and impart new inspiration. All through
life-through storm and sunshine, conflict
and victory; through adverse and favorable
winds-man needs woman's love. TIE

No weakling girl, who would surrender will
Aud life and reason. with her loving heart,
TO her possessor: soft, olingiug thing
W no would find breath alone within the arms

Wait on his whims in slavish carefulness:
Ne fawning, bringing spaniel to attend
His roy al pleasure, and account herself
Rewarded by his pats and pretty words,
But q sound woman, who, with insight keen.
Had wrought scheme of life, and measured
well
Her womanhood; had spread before her feet
