"Whoa, Carl Schurz!"

cold, cynical smile lowered like last weeks
pie around his finely chiselsd lips, and In the
azure depth of his eyes there was q baleful
light that told all too plainly of some terri
BILE resolve-perhaps to 60 to work. A hen
futtered through the back yard Of the Castle
Mulcahey, and dead horse threw all the
surrounding harmonies into minor key.
Still the horse-car moved not, and Pizarro
was equally motionless. From over the
dashboard the Duke of Galway cast fierce,
contemptuous glance a. the young man, but
he needed 1t not. Carl Schurz champed the
bit impstiently, and ever and anon struck
viciously At the earth with his iron.shod
hoof. Brought up on all the luxuries of the
season, including Kentucky pedigree, the
noble animal would Ill brook restraint, and
once aroused, his passion was terrible to be-
hold.
At last the sound of clear, girlish voice
broke the silence, and an instant later the
Lady Constance Clsncarty, daughter Of the
proud Duke, emerged from the castle.
Shooing with one wave of her hand large
flock geese from the front yard she walked
in stately fashion to the gate beside which
Pizsrro was standing. Then, for the first
time, she saw her fathers street.car, and IS
her glance fell for an instant on that
piratical craft shudder passed over her lis
some form, and into her eyes there came q
startled, fear-haunted look, like that with
which the fawn regards the hunter or the
dry-goods CLERK . wash-bill.
But 1t was too late to retreat, nor, indeed,
had any such idea entered the lady's head.
Walking up to Pizarro she looked at him
with look that spoke only Of love, and be.
fore he could tell which foot his corn was on
was walking with him in the direction Of the
street-car.
"Father," said she, stopping directly in
front Of the Duke, 81 love Pizarro McGin-
ness, and God willing, will one Gay be his
bride. Have you aught TO say why this
should not be?"
"Divil an aught," was the reply, "except
that he Is wan av thin joods.''
In an instant the blood had left the face Of
Lady Constance, and she stood there as palid
as q marble statue. "Pizarro Is not dude,
father" she said In low, hsggard tones.
"And why not ?" queried the Duke in .
sneering manner.
"Because," she answered, bursting into .
storm of sobs, che has inherited the family

MILLIONAIRE AND BAREFOOT BOY.

IT'S evening, and the round red sun sinks
slowly in the west,
The flowers fold their petals up, the birds fly
to their nest,
The crickets chirrup in the grass, the bats fit
to and fro,
And tinkle-tinkle up the lane the lowing cat
tie go;
And the rich man from his carriage looks out
on them as they come
On them and on the Barefoot Boy that drives
the cattle home.
"I wish" the boy says to himself-"I wish
that were he;
And yet, upon maturer thought, do not-no
street
Not for all the gold his Golfers hold would 1
be that duffer there,
With liver-pad, and gouty toe, and scarce
asIngle hair;
To have q wife with Roman nose, and fear
lest panic come
Far better to be the Barefoot Boy that drives
the cattle home"
And the rich man murmurs to himself:
"Would I give all my pelf
To change my lot with yonder boy? Not If /
know myself
Over the grass that's full of ants and chill
with dew to 60,
With a stone-bruise upon either heel and
splinter in my toe!
Oh, I'd rather sail my yacht year across the
oceans foam
Than be one day the Barefoot Boy that
drives the cattle home"

THE RIPENING FROST.

Willow, and elm, and all,
Are stirred at heart by the coming
OF the day their leaves must fall?
Do they think of the yellow whirlwind,
Or know Of the crimson spray
That shall be when chill November
Bears all the leaves away?

Sca~1 one by one to say,

Until we pass away.
No eye shall see US falter,
And before we lay ii down r-=-
Well wear, in the sight Of all the earth,
The years most kingly crown"
So trees of the stately forest,
And trees by the trodden way,
You are kindling into glory
This soft autumnal day;
And we who gaze remember
That more than all they lost,
To hearts and trees together,
May come through the ripening frost.

EVE-ANGELICAL.

In Eden's green retreats
A water-brook there played;
Between two mossy seats,
Beneath plana-tree's shade,
Whose rustling leaves
Danced DER the brink;
Twas Adams drink,
And also Ewes.
There, by the parent spring
or that young brook, the pair
Their morning chant would sing,
And Eve would dress her hair,
Kneel on the grass
That fringed Its side,
And make Its tide
Her looking. glass.

The Impauience ofMothers.

New York Ledger.
There arc two extraordinary things
about mothers. One is their patience,
and the other is their impatience.
He who sees a mother care for q
child through long and dangerous
sickness, tending it by day and by
night, saving its life, not once merely,
but many times, hoping on when all
others despair, and keeping up when
all others give out, and at last coaXing
and loving the little creature back to
convaleScence, sees one of the Sublim-
est things in nature. The same mother,
when the child is we'll again, will some
times exhibit an impatience with it
that borders on the ridiculous. 1t is
noisy, boisterous, inquisitivc, careless,
as all healthy children are apt to be,
and the mother wears out her soul in
scolding it.
This is often n case of cause and
effect The child has recovered its
nervous force, but the mother has not.
During the ten weeks illness of Il child
its mother may expend her entire re-
serve of vital energy, and contract
large debt in that line besides, which
she may be years in liquidating. She
may never liquidate il, but live on fret
full and irritable to the end, for n
mother seldom passes whole year
without incurring some new drain up
on her resources.
1t is for this reason that, in all the
of home, the ease and
comfort of the mother should be con-

Hands are divided into three differ
ent kinds-those with round-pointed
fingers, those with square tips, and
those that are spade-shaped, with pods
OF flesh on each side of the nail. The
first type, with round pointed fingers,
belongs to characters with perceptions
extra sensitive, to very pious people
to contemplativo minds, to the impul-
sive, and to all poets and artists who
have ideality as II prominent trait. The
second type-thOse that are square
shaped-belong to scientific people, TO
sensible, self contained characters, and
to the class Of professional men who
are neither visionary nor altogether
sordid. The third type-those that are

the middle division represents mind,

EurIpIis Facts.

In n recently delivered lecture on The
Pyramids an English lecturer stated
that the length of base side of the
Great Pyramid divided hy the sacred
cubit, gives exactly the number of days,
hours and minutes in the solar year,
and by measuring the four sides il gives

Many of the haciendas of Mexico are
said to exceed in magnitude anything
in the way of private estates to be
found in any other country. A million
or million and half of acres often
constitute single estate in the hands
of one owner. There are many estates
in Mexico large enough to hide away
some European principalities. They
are found in the central and northern
section of the country. The famous
SaladO ranch, lying in Nuevo Leon and
adjacent states, comprises over 600
square miles of land, and it contains
chains of mountains rich in mineral
wealth. It's boundaries extend more
than 100 miles from north to south.
The chapel in the salt mines of Cra-
cow, Poland, consists of beautiful
Gothic temple, dedicated to ST. Antho-
ny, and contains many statues and
obelisks, all formed of rock salt, and
also an altar, pulpit, etc. The grand
reception chamber is a gigantic hall,
the height from the floor to the ceiling
being within fifty feet rs great as that
of the monument. In this hall the
members of the Imperial family are
received when they visit the mines;
and this, together with the principal
passages and other chambers, is then
brilliantly illuminated, the crystals of
rock salt sparkling exquisitely in the
blaze of torches. There is room for at
least 1000 persons to dine in this cham
Der without inconvenience, and its di-
mensions are so vast, that, despite the
number and the brillancy of the torches,
and notwithstanding that the glittering
walls and roofs tend to reflect the blaze,
the eye in vain attempts to fathom its

Common Sense at Home.

Examiner.
The Rev. Dr. Naylor, of Baltimore,
makes n strong plea for the better
II aiming of girls. He declares that as
soon rs they are born everything with
which they come in contact seems to
desire to impress them with an idea of
their helplessness and consequent de-
pendence. In amuSements the brothers
can enjoy themselves with their toys,
but not the sisters. This conspiracy to
render the girls helpless extends be-
yond the home roof. The shoemaker
delights to cripple the dear little crea-
ture's feet; the dressmaker adds her
influence in the work of ruin, making
the young girl even at the tenderest
periods of her life the bearer of burdens
such aS would break down the most
robust lad of the same age. That our
girls live to be women, and such grand
and noble women, is indeed an eXhi-
bition of remarkable success under
remarkable difficulties. 1t has been
said "a nations true wealth is in her
sons" yet no nation has ever arisen
permanently above her women, or been
great or happy while her women were

or the character of the women capa-

much may TO said. She must have q
large share of common sense. She is
then not ashamed of fathers sunburned
face; she would rather have two rough
hands than two useless ones; she would
rather have hOmely form than con
gested liver; she would rather have
large feet than be crippled; she would
prefer appearing little out of fashion
than appear deformed; she prefers hav-
ing mind stored with rich thoughts
rather than a body decked with cheap
Jewelry. This common sense gives its
possessor true independence of charac-
ter.
Neither is the true woman ashamed
of being useful. There is no more
pitiable object in life than women
who has a fear of being judged as liv-
ing life Of usefulness, unless it be a
man cursed with the same idea. But
this common sense woman is not liv-
ing for Ornamentation; she NAV adorn
her station, but it is with useful and
beneficent life. Good health is also
necessary for true woman, though u
grand womanly sou. is often seen shin
ing through poor, sickly body. How
sad to see so many of our American
girls, physically at their best at seven
teen, wrinkled, withered, gray at
thirty, dead at forty. Mothers of but
little common sense rear daughters in
almost total ignorance of themselves
or of the laws by which they are gov
erned, unit, weakness and disease are
