Praying Against Time.

Harper's Drawer for September.
Talking against time is common in Con-
gress, but praying against time is the device
of a clever Brooklyn child, who will know
how to get her rights when she comes in sight
of them.
The fire burned low in the Franklin stove
the cat was asleep on the rug, and not a
mouse stirred behind the wainscot as the
mother wrote by shaded lamp with a noise
less pen. All the house put on slippers of
velvet when little Rose went to bed, for sleep
and she were enemies, and she fought him
to the last eyelash. Her voice came from the
bedroom now with no sound of surrender in
it. 1t was better to be at prayer than to be
asleep, and of course no one could reproye
her for praying
let me go in the omnibus to see Aunt Marga-
ret and all the aunts and nieces and mothers
Keep me safe, for L want to go and see Aunt
Margaret, and see what can see Don't let
1t hail, or snow, or rain, for | want to go in
the omnibus to see Aunt Margaret very
much, indeed, and all the aunts and nieces
and mothers, Make me we'll SO that 1 can
go in the omnibus; please do. Bless grand
pa and grandma, Aunt Kate and Aunt So
phia and Mr.. Charles Swan. Bless papa and
mamma, and make us all good, SO that we
can go to heaven at last, for Jesus sake.
Amen"
There was a short pause, and then the
wide-awake. defiant voice went on:
Keep grandma from dying before she gets
here. Don't let anything happen to her.
Don't let any bears or wild beasts eat me up.
Bless grandpa and grandma and Mr.. Charles
Swan and Aunt Kate and Aunt Sophia"
Another pause, little longer than the
first, and the unconquered began again:
Il long for apples. Ilong for milk. long
for pie. | long to be good. | wish had not
that cold. long for some water. / long for
some wine. 1 long for some brown bread. l
long for some molasses. l long for some
white bread. long to be woman. thank
Thee that it did not ram or snow. Give me
a clean spirit. Let me be good when papa is
here, for it grieves him to have me naughty,
and he buys me things-playthings l have
prayed that should go to sleep. That makes
three prayers"
A yawn, a longdrawn breath, and then
silence presently announced that the last
prayer was answered, and sleep reigned.

The Loves of the Corn.

). T. D. Smythe's Travels in America-l775-s0.
There is also another beautiful blossom at
the very top of the whole, which is in reality
the male flowers or farina, as the elegant,
shining, silky tassels are the female, for the
plant is both male and female in itself
These tassels are as soft as silk and of all
different colors appearing very bright,
glossy, and delightful to the eye.
This state of it is deuominated the corn be-
ing in silk.
1t has been discovered that the fine farina
from the male flowers, being carried by the
wind and agitation of the air upon the ie-
male silky tassels, impregnate them and
fill the grain in the ears, for there is a tassel
or silk proceeds from every single grain, and
experiments have evinced that one male Will
impregnate 500 plants when all the rest of
the tops, which contain the male blossoms,
are cut off and only the female, or ear in
silk, are left.
1t has been experienced, also, that if there
be field of corn within mile or two of one
where all the tops or male blossoms are cut
off entirely, yet still the ears will be impreg-
mated and filled by the male farina brought
by the agitation of the air and winds; but
the ears will not be all full
But it has likewise been discovered by ex-
periments, that if all the tops or male bios
SONS are cut off in a field of corn, and there
be not another field within six or seven miles,
the whole field will be useless; there will be
no grain on the ears, which will not fill, be-
cause the female part of the plant has not
been impregnated by the male.

FASHIONS FANCIES.

Every style of plaid and check will be
worn.
Suits of terra-cotta color are fast losing
their popularity.
suggestion of silver throughout an entire
black suit is popular for second mourning.
The latest fashion in guimpe dresses for
misses is to form the shoulder strap of two
strips of the dress goods tied in bow and
ends Immediately over the arm.
Paris modistes are making dress waists
very high in the neck, and when the square
neck is worn a chemisette is employed that
comes close up about the throat.
Two apron overskirts-one long and square
and caught up on the left side the other full,
short rounded, and much looped over the
hips-are seen upon the latest import stions
from Paris.
Nothing in the fashions of the season is
more striking than the combination of thick
and thin materials. Velvet dresses, for ex-
ample, have sleeves and square plastrons of
lace net, and heavy silks are trimmed in the
same manner.
One unique toilet reported from Saratoga
is serpent dress-the bodice in glittering
iridescent scales, like coat of mail, and the
tunlc to match, after the model first de-
scribed, only the skirt over which it is worn
is very narrow, and the plush train in SER
pent green is long and pointed, trailing after
the wearer like the tail of a SNAKE
Bonnets to match the costume are also to
be the rule, and the fashionable woman will
have a bonnet for every street dress and
theater. toilet. There is to be a decided eff
fort to revive large bonnets, but the small
capote and the becoming Langtry turban are
prominent among the shapes prepared for
the fall opening, and will surely bold their
own.

Suddenly her back was arched like bow

The voice frightened pussy out of her wits.

All her ideas were overthrown. Her eyes

at her master, ieaped down in sheer terror
and hid under the bed, from whence no
threat and no caress could bring her out for
the day.

Couldn't Slap Him.

On railway train, just behind plainly

panied by noisy boy, sat two fashionably-
dressed ladies. The boy was given to asking
all kinds of foolish questions. and occasion

while walking along a lonely street, saw a
little boy-a very small boy-standing among
some tall weeds. 1 asked him where he
lived, and he plucked a blossom and held it
out to me. l asked him where were his
mother and father, and with curious intelli-
gence he replied that some big men took
them away in boxes. 7 knew, then, that he
was waif and took him home with me.

was light that shone into my whitening

may slap him, but can't"

The Grandmother Styles.

Since coming fashions cast their shadows
before, it may safely be predicted that
tucked dresses, in what is known as the
grandmother style, will be much worn
during next fall and winter The skirts are
half yards wide, according to the height of
the wearer and tucked either to the knee
or to the waist, as may be preferred. If the
tucks reach only to the knee, a short
wrinkled apron is draped across the front
with wide sash ends tied at the back. The
waist is gathered into yoke and again at
the belt, and is worn with belt of the ma
terial, or, if the dress is tucked to the waist
with wide sash tied in huge bow at the
back. This style has been very popular this
summer for white dresses and ginghams,
and is already being made up in silks and
cashmeres for early fall wear. 1t is espe-
cially pretty for misses and young ladies'
and will undoubtedly be among the coming
fashions.

A Climbing Horse,


Trenton, N. j., Letter.
A dark bay mare belonging to DR.. Thomas
S. Stevens, the Green-street dentist whose
stable is on Cooper street, near Market, &C.
complished a wonderful feat this morning,
She had been driven to the stable, unhitched
from the buggy and left standing inside un-
tied while the coored hoStler ascended to
the hay NOW. His surprise may be imagined,
on having his attention drawn toward that
quarter by peculiar noise, to see the head
and shoulders of the spacious animal ap-
peariug up the stairway, which she climbed
in safety and which is quite steep and con-
tains twenty-five steps.
The bostler had doubtless been tardy in
putting down the hay for the mares dinner,
and she had become tired of waiting. DIR.
Stevens said he had little doubt that she
would follow him down again without dan.
ger, but as she is valuable animal and quite
a pet he hardly cared to take the risk. In.
stead she was allowed to walk right into the
hay NOW. At noon carpenters built an in
clined plane from the hay NOW door to the
opposite side of the street, upon which the
adventurous animal descended with perfect
security.

A Mere Outline.


All, help me! but her face and brow
We're lovelier than lilies are
Beneath the light of moon and star
mat smile as they are smiling now
White lilies in pallid swoon
OF sweetest white beneath the moon
White lilies in food of bright,
Pure lueidness of liquid light
That overfows some night of Jul
When all the azure overhead
Blooms like a dazzling dalsy-bed.
SO marvellous her face and brow,
Their beauty blinds my fancy nov.
Aud there-the oval chin below,
Carved, like a cunning cameo,
with one exquisite dimple, swrled
With swimming light and shade, and whirled
The daintiest vortex poets know
The sweetest whirpo ever twirled
BY Cupid's tinger-tip-and so
The deadliest maelstrom in the world
And O!-be wilderment gone mad
And riotOus!-what eyes she had!
Let any dew-drOp soak the hue
or any violet through and through,
And then be JOlOress aud dull
Compared with eyes so beautiful!
tell you that her eyes were bright
AS MONDAY and as dark as night
AS bright as are the FURNISHED bars
OF ralnbows set in sunny skies,
And yet as deep and dark-her eyes
And lustrous-black as blown out stars.

TailOr-Made Dresses.
New York Evening Post.

NOW IOfk Evening FO5t.
The tailor-made dresses are to be more than
ever the fashion the coming season. Ladies
possessing good figures know that their per-
feet fit shows the form to the finest advan-
tage, and those less favored by nature are
also aware that there is nothing like slightly
rough-surfaced fabric to give an increased
look to the size of their slender arms and
shoulders. Some OF these suits are made up
in the severest style, while Others are re-
markably jaunty and picturesque, with cut
away jackets and crimson serge waistcoats in
old Continental style, large pocket flaps
adorned with bright buttons in old medal
designs, and deep panelled skirts, over which
are draped the smartest and nattiest of short
TUNES, piped with crimson.

doing mood, The trap will be so arranged
that it may be sprung from inside the coun.

has to say, he will be politely requested to
leave, and if he does not do so after two or
three very urgent requests. Budget man
will spring the trap, and down will go the
bully into a strong net suspended half way
between the Office floor and that underneath.
The moment he strikes the network it will

rest the bully until he is set at liberty by a
police officer, who will be duly notified Of
the circumstances of the affair.

Naturalist in Brooklyn Union.
1 was acquainted with jackass once who

for he was quite sure-footed, and no matter
what kind of load you put on him ne d
never get mad or complain. He always
wore a kind of smile on his face kept his
ears well forward, and was never known to
bite or kick. He had some sort of a theory
on the subject of walking that used to bother
great deal 1t was his firm conviction
that running was bad for mules, therefore
he'd never run. If we beat him, we'll and

and if not why, all right; it was
all the same to him. One day when our
party were camped among the mountains
the Indians swept down on us suddenly.

from the wagons and made for Jack, who
was grazing near; he stood for me to mount
and then set off at his usual walk though
the Indians were coming toward us like a
thunder cloud. | dug my spurs into him,
yelled at him, I kicked him, 1 beat him,
and Pm afraid / even cursed at him. but it
was all no use. Jack smiled as peacefully
as ever, and had to get off and run myself
He had considered the thing evidently, and
thought there was no use in his getting ex-
cited, as if the Indians killed us they's want
him to pack baggage on, and if we killed
them things would be in the same condition
as before, so that his life was safe either
way.

The Requisites of Emcacious Prayer

Central Christian Advocate.
Prayer to be effectual needs to be fervent
engaging the most earnest desires of the soul
There is scarcely anything in the world that
has so little value as a mere mechanical
heartless prayer. How can one expect to
secure the divine cooperation for that which
only begets feeble interest in ones own
soul. And as mere acts of devotion without
the expectation of specific answers they are
valueless also, unless our emotions are ex-
cited to the degree that for the time they
fully absorb thought and desire For what
God asks of us above all things is ourselves,
our souls and bodies fully surrendered to
him and ordered for his service And this
is as different from the cold, orderly service
of the lips without the heart responding to
or prom pting their utterances as ANYTHING
one can imagine.
