IN SOLITUDE.

1 miss you, my darling, my darling;
The embers burn low on the hearth;
And stilled is the stir of the household,
And hushed is the voice of its mirth
The rain FLASHES fast on the terrace,
The winds past the lattices moan;
The midnight chimes out from the minister
And am alone.
I want you, my darling, my darling;
I am tired with care and with fret;
I would nestle in silence beside you,
And all but your presence forget,
In the hush of the happiness given,
To those, who through trusting have grow
To the fullness of love in contentment,
But l am alone
I call you, my darling, my darling,
My voice echoes back on my heart.
stretch my arms to you in longing,
And 10 they fall empty, apart.
I wisper the sweet words you taught me,
The words that we only have known,
Till the blank of the dumb air is bitter,
For am alone.
I need you, my darling, my darling,
With its yearning my very heart aches:
The load that divides us weighs harder;
shrink from the jar that it makes.
Old sorrows rise up to beset me;
Old doubts make their spirit their own.
Oh, come through the darkness and save me
For I am alone

THE EMIGRANT AT SEA.
What an English Sailor has TO Say AbouI
Them.

Sailors are not very sympathetic
race when ahoat, but, during my three
years of shore-life, good deal of the
brutal Indifference that is given to one
by calling made up of kicks, hard
weather and bad food had leaked away,
and, as l stood looking on to the main
deck from the break of the poop, I saw
deal to excite my pity in some of the
poorly clad folks, who, with their chins
on the rail, seemed to be yielding up
the ghost, and in others staggering,
with yellow faces, along the deck, with
outstretched hands, and In the women
who sat here and there on coils of rope,
on the hatch-combings or under the
bulwarks, with their gowns over their
heads, forced by the motion below into
the fresh air, and now trembling from
the cold, raw September sea-wind, with
out any other refuge than the gloom and
grooming 'tween-decks from which they
had been expelled by nausea. Sailor
men know bad times and endure great
hardships, but, on my soul, I think
that, of all the people who go to sea,
whether for living or merely to get
across the ocean, the emigrant or third
class passenger suffers the most.
Look at his bill of fare-the greasy pea
soup, the green salt-pork, the horrible
pudding of boiled slush and flour, the
cheap preserved meat, which, whether
putrid or not, is quite as likely to be
dog or cat as beef or mutton; look at his
accommodation, the darksome interior
into which he is crowded, as though he
and his fellows were beasts of the field.

heard shipmasters revile and curse them

gloomy uncertainties which fill the

stooD-shouldered chap, who looked as

tightly grasped the neck of a suspicious

quickly asked
LIS there anybody in here who comes
from Oshkosh?"
For moment no one answered. and
then a clerical looking Young man
looked up and nodded his head Tho
tall young man, with his hands still be-
hind him, shuffied slowly down the aisle
and stopped suddenly by the side of the
modest man who had muteIy replied to
his query and said:
"Be you from Oshkosh?"
'I live there" was the quiet answer
STOPPING down and placing his mouth
to the young fellows ear, the old man
hoarsely whispered
"Say, stranger, just lend us you1

OF course the entire audience roared
and the Oshkosh man went silently into

HOW TO COOK.
A Lecture by Miss ParlOa-Showing Her
Pupils the Way it Should be Done.

A lesson on breakfast dishes was given
at Miss Parloa's School of Cookery. The
dishes cooked before the class were ::
meat hash, fish hash, fish balls, pop
overs, buckwheat cakes and muffins.
Fish balls was the first subject taken up.
One pint of raw, shredded Goldfish was
measured out, and two heaped bowls of
raw potatoes were carefully pared. The
potatoes, with the Goldfish on top of them,
were placed in saucepan, and enough
boiling water was poured over them to
cover the whole. The lecturer stated
that the Goldfish and potatoes should boil
half an hour.
While they were boiling the subject
of mullins were taken up. Raised mullins
were exhibited, which were made with
pint of warm milk, half cake of COM
pressed yeast, one tablespoonful of
butter, and two well beaten eggs. Miss
ParlOa explained that the eggs, salt,
butter and yeast should be added to
the milk, and the whole stirred gradually
into the flour. These mullins, she said,
should be baked in deep tins, which
should be filed, when the batter is light,
two-thirds full and left to stand covered
in warm place till they rise to the top
of the tin, when they are placed in a
quick oven to bake half an hour. The
lecturer referred in praise to the excel
lent flour now made of the whole grain
of wheat, ground fine. A recipe was
given in which whole-wheat flour, or
granulated wheat, could be used: To
one and a half cups of granulated meal,
or whole-wheat flour, add two teaspoon
fuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of cream
of-tartar and half a teaspoonful of soda.
Mix these ingredients together, with half
teaspoonful of salt. and, if you wish,
leave over night, or any length of time
till you are ready to make the mullins.
The lecturer said that she was accustomed
to keep boxes filed with Indian, rye
and wheat flour prepared ready to add
the liquid and eggs at any time. To
complete the mullins an egg was beaten
lightly and added to cupful of milk
and third of cupfuI of cold water.
and this mixture was turned gradually
ON the dry ingredients. These mullins
were then baked twenty-five minutes
and were delicious in flavor. Indian
mullins, pop-ove and buckwheat cakes
were then baked successfully before the
class.
The lecturer then took up fish balls.
The fish and potatoes having been
cooked sufficiently, the saucepan was
removed from the stove and any surplus
of water was drained off, and the whole
vigorously beaten with potato masher,
Miss Parloa added butter of the size of
an egg, pepper and two eggs welI-beaten.
These were thoroughly mixed and the
mass was rolled into balls, cakes or long
croqastte shapss. ar$s-- immersed in a
pot of hot fat, which was smoking in
the centre as well as at the sides. In
three minutes the fish balls which were
put in the fat were lifted out brown and
ready to be served.

ing occupied something more than three
months. The stone was found in South
Africa and was imported by New York
firm. Its weight in the rough was nearly
125 carats. The gem, as perfected, is
brilliant and beautiful, but has a marked
yellowish tinge. As cut it weighs seven
ty-seven carats. It is cut in a rounded
cushion-shape, with fifty-six facets, its
size being nearly a full inch across and a
little more than five-eighths of an inch
in depth.

The Way They Do 1t.

A "nice old gentleman" came along
from the next town ostensibly after
"sheep," but really in wolfish pursuit Of
the agricultural autograph. :" Dropping
into conversation in a friendly way about
extravaganza in high places, he finally
drew from his pocket what purported to
be a petition to the Legislature for re-
duction of salaries of officers. Putting
the name to this apparently harmless
document proved in the end equivalent
TO signing a note for 800 or so, which
was discounted by neighboring banker.

having heard of several victims of this

A Modest Outfit.

Every woman, when about to marry,
seems filled with an ambition for fine
trousseau, says city dressmaker. 1t is
perhaps natural that this should be the
case, and even that they should undergo
all sorts of privations to carry out their
plans for that occasion. Some women
even go so far as to spend all their sub
stance on their bridal outfits.
This was notably the case with a
young lady who reigned as belle in Phil
adelphia. On the death of her father she
succeeded to a modest fortune of $1O,-
600. When she was to be married she
sent all of this money to a friend in
Paris, and who arranged for trousseau
which caused no little admiration.
