RECEIVE THE WANDERERS BACK.

Receive the wanderer back, love,
For life is in its wane,
Let us as in the days of y0re,
Enjoy loves dream again.
For they indeed were pleasant times,
Those happy, happy hours.
When love lay pure in our young hearts
As dew in folded flowers.
Though wavering fancy caused my heart
On other scenes 10 dwell,
Yet have | kept thy image locked
In memory's deepest cell.
Like him who tossed upon the waves
OF a tempestuoIs sea,
My every thought is that may
A refuge find in thee.

With feelings of regret,
And pray that o mn waywardness
From this time may forget.

My misdeeds can erase.

Whilst time proceeds apace.
For, dearest love, forgiveness is
a truly blessed thing:
II causes oft within the heart
A gushing fount to spring;
A tount whose waters are as pure
AS those of HEAVIER above,
And they who quaff forever sing
The glorious theme of love.
Then, O receive the wanderer back,
Give him thy love again,
For sweet 1t is when years have fled
To dream loves dream again.
Give me thy love, ere beauty is
Within llfe's lowest things,
And hours Will fly like angel troops
With glory on their wings.

Dried Pumpkin and Pies.

I have been drying pumpkins this
week. When visiting a cousin out
west two years ago last spring she was
using dried pumpkins for pies. 1t was
so nice / could not have told that it
was not fresh pumpkin if l had not
known it. She selected and pared
good ripe pumpkins, removed the
seeds and cut in pieces as if for pies.
Then after steaming soft, put them
through q colander and spread about
an inch thick on plates, and set in the
oven until dry. She rolled the dry
pumpkin up as she took it off the
plates, cut it in pieces and put away
in jars, glass bottles or paper sacks as
most convenient. To use it for pies
she soaked it over night in milk, and
then proceeded as If with fresh pump
kins, excepting using the milk it had
been soaking in to stew it in. I fol-
low her plan and find it real conven-
lent to have the pumpkin late in the
spring. Sometimes pumpkins keep
well and sometimes not, but the dried
is always good. Elk.

Character in Walking.
From the Altn Californla.


III is we'll to be aware of the man
who carries his left foot in toward
bis right in walking, giving the i'm
preston that his right foot turns out
and is left foot turns in. This man
is natural petty larcenist He may,
perhaps, have never stolen IN his
life, but that was because of fear or
lack of opportunity, but all the same
he is liable at any time TO sequester
unconsidered tribes for pure wanton-
ness. He is of kleptomaniac ma
ture, but he is not nearly so danger
Gus as the man who deliberately lifts
his leg up from the thigh as though
he was going upstairs. That man is
a natural and an educated villain. In
England, where the tread mill is used
in prisons, many conyicts acquire
that peculiar step; but it is the nat
ural, careful, cat-like tread of the
criminal. The girl who walks with a
fat foot planted squarely on the
ground as though she wanted to
grow there, may not be as attractive
as the girl with the arched instep, bat
she is a good deal better natured.
She is sure t, be a good nurse, kind
hearted, sympathetic, anxious to
bear the burden of others; while the
girl with the arched foot is nearly
sure to be selfish, and certain to be a
coquette if she walks on her toes.
The man of short, nervous steps is
always a business man of energy, but
if the stride is from the knee only he
is cold and selfish, caring for no one
but himself. The man whose stride
is long and, at the same time ener-
getic, is generally bright, always
erratic, often conceited, always care
less, fond of admiration, and, while
often a good fellow, generally unre.
liable. The diplomat and the fnan-
cier have smooth, gliding walk,
hard to describe but easy to recog-
nize. Great statesmen and great
philanthropists always have loose,
shabbllng gait, which comes from
thinking about others more than
about themselves. The strut of the
vain man, the lettering trip of the
dude" the lounging gait of the I'M
employ ed club man, are all too famil-
lar to call for description To say
that person walks like lady or
like a gentleman is high praise.
The gait can never be picked up in
after life it must be born in man or
woman and cultivated in early youth.
1t is lost to a man when he falls into
ba3 ways, for so surely as he loses his
consciousness of rectitude and pride
of honor so surely will he pick up the
gait of the loafer. An honest man,
gentle or simple, never walks like a
thief, and a thief can never counter.
felt the gait of an honest man, but in
attempting to apply these rules to men
one knows it must be remembered
that all thieves are not caught and all
suspected persons are not bad.

Chicago Times.
Mr.. L. O. Lake, a gentleman inter
terested in mining at Deadwood, D.
T.. was met at the Grand Prcific the
other day oy reporter for the Times,
who in conversation learned that the
recently much-heralded tin discover
les in that region were matters of fact
and likely to prove of great value.
The locality is about forty miles from
Deadwood, near Rapid City. Speci-
mems of the ore from the vein were
taken to Boston and assayed, and
proved to contain so large a percent
age of tin that company was formed
to develop the mine. Up to the present
time they have expended about $40, 900
in the enterprise, and are very well
satisfied with their investment. The
lode has proven TO be richer IN the
percentage of ore that it carries as
further depth has been reached, and
as soon as the separating and reduc-
ton works now being constructed are
completed, the owners will commence
to realize on their investment. Other
ground in the vicinity has been taken
up, upon which the indications are
equally good, but the owners are
waiting for results from the Boston
company's work before opening their
claims. If these tin deposits should
prove profitable, it would be of i'm
mense benefit 10 the country, making
it independent of Great Britain, from
which place we import the greater
part of the metal now used. Some
float tin ore has been found in Moa-
tana Territory, and there is also
mine in San Bernardino county, Cal,
that has yielded a small quantity, but
not enough to make it OF any impor-
lance. There is a popular delusion
existing in the public mind, more os-
pecially among the miners, that the
government has had a standing re
ward OF from sos, 900 to 800, 600 for
the discovery of tin ore in paying
quantities. How it obtained currency
is a mystery, but it is among the be
liefs that the prosBector and miner
cherishes and gravely circulates. NJ.
Lake thinks that the writer's opera
tons in the Black Hills will deter.

are as valuable as now believed.
