ing, saying: "Well, guess it's worth
dollar to set Teller on her track, II
that's what you are after; wonder if IA
ever own such a spanking beast as
that" and picking up his bucket,
strobe into the school-room, with the
air of millionaire.
That evening Cecil Delaney felt
weary, and concluded that rest of a
day or two would do himself and horse
good, and so "put up" at the village
tavern.
Taking stroll, after tea, he CHANGED
to meet Miss Rutherford, and-it was
''such pleasant surprise, and might
he walk home with herp
Both had so much to say, she of her
school, he of his travels, that they
reached Mrs. Kendall's before they
were half talked out" He was in
vited in, introduced to Cousin Ruth,
spent a delightful evening and ac-
cepted an invitation to tea the next
evening.
1t was long time before Cecil De-
lancy and his horse were sufficiently
rested to proceed, but at last,
Like one who for delay,
Seeks vain excuse, he rode away"
At the close of the summer term,
Miss Rutherford announced that she
would be unable to take the school an
other year. The disappointment OF
the children was very great, and honest
tears were shed when she babe them
goodbye. She had won both their
respect and their affection, and many,
through her instrumentality, had found
that ''wisdom, the price of which is
above rubies.
Bob Mason's grief was largely min
gled with yexation for not having had
wit enough to put that city chap on
''the wrong scent when he asked the
way to the station. He was consoled,
however, when, the next spring, Mr..
and Mrs. Cecil Delaney came to live in
Mapleton.
The former, though lawyer by pro
fession, was a farmer by inclination,
and having plenty of "the sinners" as
Bob said, purchased farm near Cousin
Ruth's, put tasteful, convenient
house upon it, and felt that he had all
man needs to make him happy
fine farm and the best wife in the
world.
Mrs. Rutherford visited them occa'
sionally, but found it "dreadfully dull
in the country she did not see how
Helen could stand it and hoped thai
Evelyn would not grow up so very &c.

Who, in taking passage in great trans
Atlantic steamer, does not feel thrill of
exultation over her magnificent power.
Against her the Storm King may hurl his
elemental forces, nor pierce her armor, nor
stop her onward course.
But let me describe a scene when, one
morning in mid -ocean, there came an
alarm from the pilot house followed by a
cry: 1.-THE ships rudder is lostn From
the confident expression, CONSERVATION
came to every face. The wheelman being
helpless to direct her course, the vessel
was at the mercy of wind and wave.
The captain had been negligent-the
hangings of the rudder were allowed to
wear weak, and suddenly it had dropped
deep into the seal
Strong in intellect, in physical vigor, in
energy and in ambition, man confronts,
undaunted, gigantic tasks and commands
applause for his magnificent achievements.
But, all unexpectedly, an alarm comes
the rudder of his constitution is gone. He
has been careless of it's preservation; mem
tai strain, nervous excitement, irregular
habits, over work, have destroyed the ac-
ton of his kidneys and liver. This would
not occur were Warmers safe cure used to
maintain vigor. And even now it may re-
store vitality to those organs and give
back to the man that which will lead him
to the haven of his atfnbition.-The Traveller.

Pigeons at a Fire.

The Sacramento Record Union re-
Gently said: "a great number OF pig
ons had made their home at the
Phenix Mills, and little house was
constructed for their accommodation.
The conduct of the birds when the ire
occurred yesterday morning attracted
the attention Of hundreds of spectators
They few around wildly when the
small building at the corner was purn-
ing, frequently returning to their house
apparently to see how their little ones
were faring. AS the blaze extended
numbers Of them appeared to be ire
sistibly attracted by it, and lowered
over the burning structure, as II unable
to fiv away. Now and again one would
be scorched and fall into the flames
Presently their house got on lire, and
it was noticed that while half OF the in-
terror was in blaze, the parent birds,
completely bewidered, would alight
upon the little shelf on the outside OF
the remainder, pass through the holes
to the interior, and fall into the
dames."

An Eccentric Monarch.

The King of Bavaria, it is well known
often uses the Royal Theater at Munich
for week or two at time for private
performances in which all the royal
singers, etc, appear. but at which he
is sole spectator. The other evening,
at one of these private soirees. His Ma
iesty fell asleep. This placed the stage
manager in disagreeable dilemma Ii
he undertook to awake the King, he
risked nearing his displeasure; if not,
ditto. TO go on with the music seemed
useless; but stopping it like stopping a
sleeping car would have probably
aroused the monarch and called for a
continual on. He finally decided to re
gard the performance as rehearsal
and let the King sleep.-London Paper.

LEGAL VERBOSlTY.
A Count of the Indictments Drawn Against
Louis RieI.

A Count of the Indictments Drawn against
Louis RieI.
Riel's offense is treason il waging
war against the Government. 1t may
be specified in less than TWEEN y words,
Here it is as partly set forth in one
count of the Indictment just drawn up
against him:
'Louis Riel, being subject of our
lady Queen, not regarding the duty of
his allegiance, nor having the fear of
God in his heart, but being moved and
seduced by the instigation of the devil
as false traitor against our said lady
Queen, and wholly withdrawing the al
legiance, fidelity and obedience which
every true and faithful subject of our
said lady Queen ought to bear toward
our said lady Queen, the Goth day of
March, in the year aforesaid, together
with other false traitors to the said
Stewart unknown, armed and arrayed
in warlike manner-that is to say, with
guns pistols, bayonets and other weap-
ons-being then unlawfully, malicious
" and traitorously assembled and
gathered together against our said lady
Queen, most wickedly, maliciously,
traitorously did levy and make war
against the said lady Queen at a local
ity known as Duck Lake, in the said
Northwest Territories of Canada, and
within this realm; and did then ma
liciously and traitorously attempt and
endeavor by force and arms to subvert
and destroy the constitution and Gov
eminent of this realm, as by law estab-
lished, and deprive and depose the said
lady Queen from the style, honor, and
kindly name of the Imperial Crown of
this realm, in contempt of the said
lady Queen and her laws, to the evil
example of all others, in the like case
offending, contrary to the duty and al
legiance of him, the said Louis Riel,
against the form of the statute in such
case made and provided, and against
the peace of the said lady Queen, her
crown and dignity"
As a specimen of the time honored
legal verbosity this is hard to beat
And yet some of our own criminal
forms, borrowed from the same sources
are not far behind tn. Y. HerdLd.

TO A NEW BRIDE.

You little guess the lonesomeness that's
coming DER my life,
When YOU have left the farm and me to be
Will Johnsons wife;
But suppose my mother felC just 50, Wncn,
Your father came one summers day to carry
home his bride.
All, mel how happy had been If Providence
had spared
Ny good old man to see this day, who all my.
feelings shared;
But then. / would not bring him back, not
even II | might,
Nor change one ofooksthats IN my lot, LOT
what God does is right
But as 1 sit alone and think, see some
things I'd changes;
might have made him happier; then do not
think it strange
If 1 should speak some warning words to
save you, ii / may,
From making thoughtless, sad mistakes, to
bring clouds DER your way.
So just remember, Hannah, dear, that,
though you're pretty bright,
II may be vel.y possible you'll not be always
right;
Perhaps when you are fretting DER some
other bodys sin,
You1l find the fault was all your own if you
would look within.
As when we washed the window panes to-
gether face to face,
So that the smallest spot or stain Would nhu
no rest ng place.
You would insist, however hard to make you
see tried
That every spot was my fault when twas
really on your side.
And, Hannah, oh be patient If you find viii
sometimes slow;
Your wits flash out like lightning streaks, as
swift to come and go;
Now, lightning is n handy thing in stormy
nights It's true,
But after all steady shine is kind o useful
too.
And If there's any difference comes 'twixt
M your good man and you, !.
Don't stop to ask whose fault 1t is; the only
way to do
Is lust to take the thing in hand and try with
all your might,
Before IL grows too big to change, to FIX 1t ur
all right.
You know the dough, when first it's set, IL
moulded as we will,
But when lis baked, we can not change Its
shape for good or i'll;
So now. when you are starting out in your
new home, is just
The time to see what ways you'll SET tt
harden into crust.
But dear, you'll not succeed alone, no mat
ter how you try;
You'll have to go down on your knees ant
~ ask help from on high.
We SOAP and rub, and boil and rinse, bu
after ALL we know.

The Failing Connecticut.

The Connecticut River, given over
to the timber-drivers, has become a
canal. Reefs are blasted out. Bulk
heads are built to turn the current
into the central channels. The melt
ing SHOWS, no longer held back in the
spongy MOSES of the forests, and the
spring rains, are hurried swiftly down
in the freshets which destroy property
in the lower country. The freshets
are utilized to bring down every spring
the timber from thousands of acres,
where no pine wood will ever grow
again. The summer comes, hot and
dry, with low water in the rivers,
which were formerly full all the sum
mer from the slow drain out of the
dark shades in the upper country. The
natural reservoirs, which thus gave
out slowly their reservoirs of water,
are gone, and all the water comes
down with a rush after every rain.
Manufacturing companies everywhere
have found it necessary to make arti-
fetal reservoirs to take the place of
the lost natural reservoirs. Hills that
were once foreSt-covered are bleak
masses of rock, growing drier year by
year. If there was ever an instance of
killing the goose that laid the golden
eggs, it is this method of treating our
Northern forests. In hundreds of val
leys, where water was abundant in
former wears, the water line in the
ground is now below the reach of or
binary wells The tendency is toward
that condition which in n century or
two will compel resort to irrigation
for ordinary agricultural purposes. r
