Morning on the Hudson.
Kirk Monroe, in Outing.

The morning air was chill, and the
river flowed gray and sullen between
its sombre walls. Night still linger-
ed in the valleys and the deep ravines
that seam the hfllsides; and the bald
heads of the Highlands were still en-
veloped IN misty nightcaps when the
first signs of life began to appear on
the tow. Uakempt men stretched and
yawned at the openings that led down
into the close little cabins, sickly
flames were extinguished in the
bIackened signal lanterns, and uncer-
tain puffs from the valley fires gave
faint promise of breakfast. AS the
''canaller" added his to the group of
frowsy heads appearing from the sew
eral companionways, the canoeist,
still wrapped in his blankets. sat up,
gazed about him and listened. The
regular throbs of the steamer were
nearly drowned by the floods OF mel
ody that came bubbling from the
throats of hundreds of little feathered
highlanders. It was the grand open
ing chorus; an ecStacy of music over
the birth of day. For a moment
the thrills and warblings were hushed
by the thunder-roll of the sunrise gun
at West Point. It was hurled back
and. forth from one mountain giant
to another, until faint and exhausted,
its distant reverberations sank into
silence. Then was echoed the CHEEKY
music Of the bugles, and the noisy
reville of the drums. Then a sun
beam kissed the gloomy brow of Dun
derberg, glanced across the river to
Anthony's Nose, flashed back among
the shadows still lurking about Bear
Hill, and at last slipped down 1uuo tLo
river to give it a morning kiss, and
change its suLen gray into a glory of
blue and gold.

A Dakota Prairie Fire.

An extensive and destructive prairie
fire occurred In the vicinity of For
man, IN Sargent county, d. T. The
Chronicle says: Last sunday even
ing, as the sun was sinking in the
western horizon, a fire was noticed
encircling this place, and at no great
er distance than twenty miles to the
north and west. The scene that i'm
mediately followed was too horrible
to be thought lightly of. The whole
heavens seemed as one mass of seeth-
ing, kissing fire. The roar that ac-
companied the flames as they darted
upward was enough to startle the
pioneer and completely shatter the
bold fearl sss tenderfoot. A cry was
raised, and IN few minutes the citi-
zens had turned out en- masse with
wet bags and coal oil torches, and
going to the north and northwest
limits of the town along the wagon
trail leading west, Immediately Piled
the torches. The grass went off like
powder, burning a back-fre about
twenty feet wide in an instant, reach
ing nearly half mile. Then, to
meet the creeping flames approach
ing from the north, a double back
fire was started by the torch
men, and had just been completed
when the roar of the flames was heard
ascending the hill-only in a moment
to aash in the tall grass and meet the
back-ire with the swish peculiar to
the conclusion following the discharge
of cannon. The fire to the west was
then about two miles distant, but
nearing at the rate of about eighteen
miles an hour, and, when the north
fire mad been safely met, all hands
wens to the southwest trail, running
to about twenty yards north of the
schotl house, and started q back fire
on the north side of the trail, aad
then, bringing the fire over the trail,
it was led to burn arouad the south
side of the school house, being watch
ed by eight or ten to prevent the fire

feet in diameter and 6 or eight feet

Like the tropic bird, too, they fire.
quent the scrubby juugles along the
seashore, where the soil is sandy, but
they have remarkably large and
strong feet and long claws. Where
there is a considerably quantity OF
debris, consisting of sticks, shells, sea-
weeds ann leaves, the megapodius
forms immense mounds, often with
comparative ease, for with their long
feet they can grasp and throw back
ward large quantity of material. In
the center OF this mound, at the depth
of two or three feet, the eggs are de-
posted, and are Matched by the gentle
heat produced by the fermentation Of
the vegetable matter of the mound.

POthetlc St0ry of Love Song.

Upon one of the many hills sur
rounding the old Ohio city is beauti-
full homestead which overlooks the
smoky expanses of the town and the
shining course of the Muskingum
River. Thirty years ago young
preacher walked down the hill from
this home heavy at heart and weary
of the world. Two years ago he had
come to GAINESVILLE fresh from the old
collegiate institution in Columbus as
the Rev. FL. D. L. Webster. He soon
fell in love with Ella Bloxom, the
daughter of Judge Bloxom, who sang
in the choir of his church. He was
privileged as pastor to call upon his
fair chorister at the house of her mar
ried sister, Mrs. Henry BIandy. The
young, penniless preacher proposed
marriage to her and was rejected. The
refusal was given in kind but firm
manner, and the young man persuad
ed himself that his suit was denied
because of his poverty and the pride
of the girls family. He left Zanes-
vile, for he could not be at peace
where the woanan he loved was shin
ing in society.
soon afterward wrote song and gave
it to J. P. Webster the composer.
This song was the once popular
''Loreno." In it Webster wrote the
sentiments OF his heart to the memory
of the woman he had loved. People
who remember the songs Of twenty
years ago will readily recall the open
| ing lines:
The years creep slowly by, Lorena,
! 7'he snow is on the grass again,
| The sunslOw down the sky, Lorena,
! The frost CLEANS where the flowers have been;
/ But the heart throbs on as warmly now
| AS when the summer days were nigh,
/ Oh, the sun never dip so low
| AdoWn affections cloudless sky.
In the days of the war the song
took a firm hold on the popular fancy.
Soldiers in the canaps of both armies
sang the plaintive verses. It was the
| ''Annie Lauri" of America. The
name ''Lorena' was given to all sorts
OF things, and young ladies of today
respond to the same musical name
which sentimental mothers of that
time bestowed upon them.
! When it became known that Web
ster wrote the song many of his ac-
quaintances in Zanesyille remember
ed his love there, and concluded at
ence that Ella Bloxom was the origi-
nal of Lorena Miss Bloxom was
married to William W. johnson, a
young lawyer at Ironton, who had
oeen educated in GAINESVILLE, and is
now the Chief Justice of Ohio, and
the republican candidate for Select
man, Mr.. Webster VINO has drifted
about from pastorate to pastorate,
was recently stationed in Oak Grove
He also is married, having now a
wife and several children.

A Story of the Street.
Chicago Herald.

Poking around in dark alley above
which the great black buildings tow
cred high, a patrolman found boy
asleep in barrel. The night was wet
and chilly, and the child, WAC was not
more than 7, and whose grimy and
bony little limbs could plainly be seen
through the rents in his clothing, had
wrapped an old sack of some kind
about his shoulders. At the further
end of the alley were brilliant lights,
which, rejecting on the sUream of
water trickling over the granite blocks
III the center of the narrow thorough
fare, gave it the appearance # silver
rivulet.
The officers lantern was thrown full
on the lad and brought his wretched-
ness into strong relief. Once the man
stepped aside as If to leave the boy,
but turning again, his rough face full
of kindly sympathy, he bent over the
little form and spoke to tae sleeper
kindly.
''God help the child" said the off
Ger under his breath, his thoughts
wandering off to his own little ones
Come, Johnny, this is no place for
you. Come with NE and Sleep"
The boy made no move and the of
fcer hit the barrel with his CLUB, the
blow echoing up and down the alley
with resounding crash. The child
was on his feet in an instant, with a
brick in each of his bony hands.
Yer amt got no war'nt, Mister
Cop, and yer know it. Don't yer put
yer huke on me, or I'll smash - out
of you"
'Go to bed, Johnny, go to bed, "
observed the officer as he resumed his
measured tread, whistling little as
he went, and then, when out of hear
ing and looking back in the grim
recess where dark little figure could
still be seen, God help the child, all
the same"

lady, now residinga at American Flag,
in the Santa Catalina Mountains, is
perhaps the only woman who, literal
ly speaking, ever cost her husband
her weight in gold. 1t is said that in
the early gold-digging days of Cali
fornia she was a resident of Sonora,
in which state she was born and grew
to Womanhood. When about the age
of seventeen a paternal uncle, but a
few years her senior, returned with
his companions, gold laden, from the
El Dorado Of the west, and became
desperately enamored Of her. He
sought her hand in marriage and was
accepted, but the church refused, be-
cause of the near relationship existing
between them, to solemnize the mar
riage Persuasion being In vain, he
tried the power of gold to win the
church his way, and succeeded only
by the payment Of her weight in gold.
She at that time weighed III pounds,
and against her In the scales the gilt
tering dust was shoveIed, Her aft
anced husband still had sufficient Of
this worlds goods to provide a com
Portable home, and they were married.
The above is fact and not fiction, as
living witnesses can prove.
