CHAPTER VIII,

Three weeks passed, and Dorothy, white
and wan, was well enough to sit up in bed
and speak to people.
She fretted a good deal about little Ally,
for there was still no trace of the child.
A long loving letter from Mr.. Penfold
came to say he might be expected home at
any moment.
''Do you think I can get up, Mrs. Steel? 1
should like to be able to see Mr.. Penfold
when he comes home"
IF you feel strong enough, dear, L don't
see why you should not. We must ask the
doctors leave first. Hark, l hear his foot
step on the stairs"
Mrs. Steel, who was comely little wo-
man, with soft brown eyes and hair, Of a
cheerful, bright disposition, rose and opened
the door to admit her husband, who took
her rosy face between his hands and kissed
it affectionately. Then, with a nod and a
smile, he went to warm his hands before the
blazing fire before shaking hands with his
patient.
Rubbing his hands together, he sat down
beside the bed, saying:
well, you are looking quite bonnie, how
do you feel?"
Very much better, doctor. l want you to
let me get up
DO you think you could bear it?'
Yes, | am sure l could, l am tired of the
bed"
Then you shall get up; but you must not
leave your room. You are so delicate now,
and it is intensely cold; there is a hard
I frost"
Dorothy looked towards the window
/ where she could see the outside world bright
/ and clear with frosty sunshine.
| You must see this young lady is we'll
wrapped up, Bessie, my dear, and donot let
/ her tire herself"
Penfold has sent beautiful warm dress
ing-gown for her."
The little woman opened box and drew
out white cashmere dressing-gown, lined
| with white satin, and bordered everywhere
with wide white swansdown.
1t was long, full, and had a Vatican pleat
behind.
Dear me, what grand arrangement! I
understand now why the young lady is so
eager to get up-she wants to get into that
dream of dress. Oh, vanity, thy name IS
woman. l shall run in to see Miss Snow IN
her robe of state; remember you are to Keep
cup of tea for me.

wHIsKEY GOOD IN z1,s PLACE


The following verses were written upon
the occasion of hear~g a poor old man
make the remark that whiskev was good In
its place;
Good in its place. Where is that place ?
Thou hend that cursed the human race.
Where Is that place? o, let tell.
t'or have learned thy secrets-Sell.
Show me the place where have you been,
And there's the place where crime is seen,
Show me the place your presence blight=,
And there's the place for brawls and fights.
Go see the graves that you have filed,
Go see the blood that you have spilled,
Then tell me that there is place
Where you should show your demon face.
Go ask the druukard's wretched vile,
What's been the terror Of her life,
Whet turned her raven lock 70 snow.
Aud laid her crring husband low
See how she looks by God forsaken,
See her by want and sorrow shaken,
See her hide in deep disgrace,
Then say no more about your place.
Go hear the orphans cry fer bread,
Go hear the widow mourn her dead,
Go see the drnnkard's haggard face.
And ask Of them where is tiny place?
Ask the pauper at the poor-house door
What makes his heavy heart so sore?
He'll say while tears run down his face,
Because he had for you place.
Go see the place where demons lurk
Go watch them at their devilish work,
AS they with knives each other chase,
And there, vile whiskey, is thy place.
There's where the gallows find its food.
There's where the prison gets its brood,
There's where crime and poverty embrace,
While rushing on their beadlong race.
Whiskey, thy vile and sitting breath,
Has laid many a lofty form in death;
Your fiery tongues like scorpions sting,
And misery, death and sorrow bring.
Tell not to me that hateful lie,
Nor seek thy havoc to deny !
For you the human soul debase,
Thou art death and shame in any place

Although greatly crippled by the
freight gorge, having twelve or fifteen
cars still out, Mississippi is placing in
position fine exhibit, covering the va
rious productions of the State. In the
timber department we notice a great
cypress, six feet three inches in diam
eter, and the commissioner expects to
have a poplar to beat this. Every tim
Der in the State is to be found in the col
lection, including q cutaof black wal
nut ten feet long and three feet in diam
eter.
The State will make a point on hay,
wool and wine, showing tel or twelve
varieties of the first, wool from every
county, and hundreds of bottles of wine
of twenty or more varieties.
The geological collection made by
Prof. SpiIlman is very complete, and
fills six large cases. The skeleton of a
zugladon, supposed to have been sew
enty-iye feet long, is shown in this de-
partment and was discovered by Prof.

States geological survey, near Pachuta,
The silk display is fine and will open
the eyes of many as to this industry,
and give an impetus 20 the production.
The silk in every shape from the co.
