state campaigns are limited to only few

Foraker for governor, a Republican legisla-

electing Mr.. Sherman to the senate; Mr..
Sherman to decline with thanks, and ex-
Governor Foster to be chosen in his place;
Mr.. Sherman to be supported by both
Foster and Foraker as the states candidate

be Sherman's private opinion that he has
failed twice to secure a presidential nominal

We cross TIE pasture, and thro' the wood
Where the old gray snag of the poplar stood,
Where the hammering red-heads hoped

And the bnzzard raised in the open sky
And lolled and circled as we went by
Out to old Aunt Mary's.
And then in the dust of the road again
And the teams we met and the country men !;
And the long highway with the sunshine
spread
AS thick as butter on country bread,
And our cares behind and our hearts ahead,
Out to old Aunt Mary's

When he re-entered the cozy little

''Can I see Miss Grey?" he said to
plain little lady in Quaker garb who
opened the door.
And with that he handed in his
card, along with aletter of introduc-
ton, from his friend John Graham,
who had earnestly desired him to
make Miss Grey's acquaintance.
He was ushered into pretty little
parlor, which showed the active pres
ence of refined and artistic taste, but
was far from approaching luxury.
Still he looked about him with per-
feet satisfaction.

into a great hollow chair from whence

It was Mrs. Grey who let him in.
She went upstairs to the little sitting
room, where Juliet was darning stock
ings, and put the card and letter into
the girls hand.
Daughter, there is some one wish
es to see thee" she said, and Juliet
glanced in perplexity from the elegant
engraved card to the envelope, which
was addressed to Miss J. E. Grey, in
a queer cramped hand she could not
recognize.
"Oh, it's from Mr.. Graham! !" she
said as she opened the letter, and saw
the great sprawling signature.

It was that very night that Warren
came to take her to the opera. He
found her, not cloaked and bonneted,
as usual, but standing in the middle
of the room with pale face and flash
ing eyes.
She took no notice of his out
stretched hand when he came toward
her, brilliant and smiling.
"Mr. Weir she said, quickly, 'smy

There was nothing for Warren to

Arundel who should be there await

SOME POETS HORSES.

It is a very curious fact that poets Sc
nothing of the natural animal in the
horse. As a beast, a quadruped, they
absolutely ignore it. It is only in its
artificial varieties that they recognize it
at all, and even then so seldom as to
surprise the student of these pages.
About the horse particular, individual
steeds of fame volume might easily
be gathered from our poets. But of the
creature in nature they say nothing
The beast has become so thoroughly
relative that it has lost all individuality.
1t is either the other half of cavalier,
q warrior, n war chariot plow, coach,
or a cart, or somethi e'sa, that it can
not be contemplated apart from its
rider, its accOutrements, or the vehicle
it draws. All other animals have char
acters of t'eir own. The horse has
none. 1t varies only according to the
kind of man ON its back or the kind of
thing behind it. Attach a pillow to it
and it becomes at once heavy" and
"dull ;" set a soldier upon it and it
is frey and proud" When ladies
ride their horses turn to milk-white
palfreys ;" the hero of a poem, whether
knight or highwayman, bestrides, as a
rule, a "courser. There are also
swift-heeled Abrams, and barbs,
and "jennets :" but these are not meant
for real horses. There is, of course
nothing surprising in the fact that poets
have but little sympathy with stable
boys or book makers. When they dc
speak of grooms they rate them as
secOnd-elass horses, and the "hOrsy
gentleman as an inferior amateur
groom. This is probably rs it should
be; but on the other hand, when We
remember that nearly all history has
been made on horseback, and that it il
to the character of that animal that MAJ
is indebted for the mOiety of his achieve
ments, it strikes strangely to find the
poets so consistently disregarding the
strongly marked individually of tn,
horse. Its sympathy with human
beings-as is the case with the poets
dogs also has, doubtless, much to d,
with the dOubling-up of the anima
with its master Whatever nature
may show, it is always in accordanc
with,,that of its rider. Its temper alway
matches its trappings, is strictly in keel
ing with its harness.

EMBARRASSING GENEROSITY.

Not only the houses of the Mexicans,
but whatever you admire is yours. If
you express sentiment of appreciation
for anything the owner at once says /:
''Senor it is yours" but he simply in
tends to say something fattering, and
you are therefore not expected to accept
anything that is offered you, An anus
ing story is told of Sir Spencer st.
John, the English Ambassador, which
illustrates how this national courtesy
often prOvokes embarrassment Sir
Spencer, who is a gallant old bachelor,
was promenading with some ladies in
the park when he met nurse girl with
a bright-eyed baby. The ladies stopped
to admire the little one, and Sir Spen-
Ger asked whose child it was. "Senor,
it is your own, replied the nurse, With
a corutesy. Sir Spencer has never in
quired as to the parentage of pretty
children since.

THE PINE WOOD.

At some of the watering places of Ger
many the very simple prescription of
the physician is that the patient should
spend several hours a day walking or
riding through the pine wood. This
simple treatment is said to be sometimes
supplemented by the taking of pine
baths, and in the cas- o. kidney
diseases, and fOR delicate children this
is claimed to be highly beneficial The
bath is prepared by pouring into the
water about half tumblerful of an ex-
tract made from the fresh need es of the
pine; this extract is dark in co or and
closely resembles treacle in consistency,
and when poured into the bath gives the
water a muddy appearance, with a slight
foam on the surface. As an adjunct to
the daily bath this infusion of pine ex-
tract is said to induce most agreeable
sensation; it gives the skin deliciously
soft and silky feeling, and the effect on
the nerves in quieting.
