but only once-a sparrow-hawk. The
crows, too, were to be heard every little
while, uttering their loud 'caw." A
hardy typical bird is tho crow.
Emerging Mt last from q clump Of
woods we came upon u clearing with a
settlement and u road beyond. Tho
stream, now dwindled to n more ditch,
led lis to the road and across into hol-
low, marshy and overgrown with thick.
cts. Had We at last reached the end Of
our search? The answer would have
been easy had not ditch or tho bed of
stream, leading further back into the
country, awakened some doubts. In
our uncertainty VIC appealed to a native,
u thrifty farmer with the air of q retired
veteran. Yes, in the hollow by the
roadside was the head of Oxen Run.
Holly spring, so-callcd because the
man who once owned it was named
Holly; and the settlement was called
Pumpkintown; so that the end of Oxen
Run was the beginning of Pumpkin
town. The old man was garrulous and
kind. Not content with guiding us to
the spring, now filled with leaves and
fallen into disusc, he must needs tell lis
all the ancient lore of the country and
his personal experiences. The fact that
his great grandfather was a kings sur
veyor and was one of the very earliest
settlers in Maryland seemed to give him
a proprietary interest in the land. He
was one of the farmers who donated
land for the Marlboro pike and the road
was now, he told us with frank pleas
urc, paving eight per cent.
But the little collection of houses had
for me an interest for me of which the
old man could know nothing. Often
had read in John Burroughs "Wintcr
Sunshine of walk wherein Pumpkin
town largely figured. Often had I in
quired for it, but never before now had
| found it. The neat, white-washed
houses, with suggestion of prosperity
about them; the little tavern, where q
sign of crooked letters informed the
passing public that 1--WE will dance the

were indelibly photographed upon my
memory. Thus had found more than
l searched for; the gods had filled my
cup to Overlooking. What more was
there to ask? Absolutely nothing, and

of the capitol was soon in sight.-Henry

What Mars Wants.

They say the planet Mars,
The slyest Of the stars,
Is fairly filled with beings who have cut their
optic teeth;
And colnet-catchcrs swear
That far above the air
They're trying to communicate with worlds
which roll beneath.
What can the creatures wantl
We wonder if they're gaunt
And furnishing for fodder, or are suf'ring
from drought!
Perhaps deprived of drink,
They're giving lis the wink,
In hopes We, IL shoot some spirits thro' the sky
into each mouth.
All, no! they are too fly
For earthly things to sigh.
The reason they are signaling they have an
end in view;
The frigid sky they scan,
For they would find the man
Who never asked the question, SIS It cold
enough for yous

Evidence That It Moves.

Surely the world moves. To-day
there are $4,000 women in Massachu-
seetts alone who are self-supporting.
Two generations ago no preparation
was made for women's education, lit
tie reading, little writing and arith-
metic, little music and dancing. Not
one college for women and not one CO.
educational college in the world. In
the United States to-day there are 1859
co-educational institutions. In 1841
women were permitted to engage in but
seven occupations, to-day 289 distinct
trades and professions are open to
them. Let it be said to the credit OF
women that it is largely through their
own efforts that these changes have
been brought about.-Worcester (Mass.)

The Price of Safety.

What fatalities underlie the fairest
paths of life-what mysterious forever
hang about them. Pleasures come 50
often when the zest for enjoyment is
gone. when one is too ole in heart, too
deeply saddened by contact with the
world. TO care for things that would
have made his pulses thrill when life
was young.
A sentence from one of Burdette's So
liloquies says a good deal more than
the words at first imply: '.Ah me,
every time 1 look at the lamb am
maddened by the thought that he will
never be safe until he is too tough for
chops, and wears his horns in q spiral
bang that makes him too callous to be a
fit playmate for children and too un-
sympathetic to be enjoyed of the
dogs"
And so it is with human creatures, as
well as lambs. Safe from temptation
only when our feet cease dancing, safe
from the allurcmcnts of VANITY FAIR
only when time has dimmed our eyes,,

Bright the e1lvery star rays kltsten

And the pines, that lean and listen
To the rivers rythmic flow,
How our glad hearts leap and tighten
When the why air We feel,

To our feet the cleaning steel!
Then, while song, In thrilling chorus,
Wakes the forest arches gray,
Down the shimmering stretch before US
We're away!
Clinging beech leaves, growing crisper
With each clcar-skicd frosty night,
Gossip now, In laughing whisper,
Glory in our sudden flight.
Do they dream III trust how tightly
As VIC speed our hands entwinc!
Do they note in love how brightly
When our eyes meet, hers Outshinc!
Do they see the bushes stealing
Der the softly rounded check!
Can they sound the depths Of feeling
When speak!
Backward blow her tiny tippet's
Tasscls as we dash along,
And her happy heart lets slip its
Joy in cadence Of song
How my longing breast is smittcn
By her eyes that beam with Will
Is 1t strange want the mittcn
When her hand is in the NIT!
Lo! the drowsy night wind, telling
Secrets with its lovers art.
Sets the tide of passion swelling
In my heart.
With look that makes me holder,
Up she glances in my eyes
Sesties nearer to my shoulder
With the sweetest Of replies.

Since Endymion smiled on herb
And she, looking through the boughs with

Artificial Quinine.

A London paper conveys the infor-
nation that DR.. Cresswell Hewett, of
Lincoln fields, had discovered the
synthetical or artificial mode of MAX
ing quinine, by which the price of that
drug will be reduced to something like
Sd per ounce. The Importance of this
discovery (which was made through
the accidental breaking of medicine
bottle,) is rendered greater by the fact
that while hitherto we have been de-
pending for our quinine on the cultiva-
ton of the cinchona tree, from whose
bark only about per cent. of good
quinine can be extracted, SO per cent.
being valueless, the drug can now be
manufactured without limit by q very
simple process from an article which
can always begot in abundance in any
part of the world. A few days ago DR..
Hewett submitted a sample ofhi prep
aration to Messrs. Howard & Sons,
quinine manufacturers, Stratford, who
have expressed surprise at the result
of their analysis, the sample being
equal to the best quinine in the mar
ket. The discoverer is about to COM
municate with the government, who
annually spend in India alone about
100000 in the cultivation Of the Gin
chona tree.
