HAPPY HOURS.
BY MANpA l.. cRocKER.


Oh stay happy hours OF dearest delight
Fold your white wings over me, over me.
Your comrades have flown To the arms OF the
night.
And have gone a-saillns far over the sea.
SO stay golden spans OF the cycle OF linei
The rhythm OF your rhyme is life To the soul
which runs thro' the mathis sweetly sublime,
OF melodies you bring as ye roll
Ahi bide happy hours To Won 1 would cling
And drink from your chalice OF gold,
That makes beggars princes, and servants OF
kings,
And vice Uersa, so often I'm told. am told.
All hover softly until am blest-
No tinklinG cymbals, no fevrsh dreams
Nced YOU bring, happy hours differ mt guest
From the ple..s ares aud measures of glittrng
CLEANS.
No rest rosy moments your pinions OF ligut,
And droop them in love over me, over me;
Help me scatter the seed whose blooming is
bright,
Whose fruit may gather. in JOY. DER the sea.
All stay, happy CLEANS fall brightly. pray,
Till there's nCthin my merry soul grieves;
Steady your glow to the march of my day,
And ripen and garner my poor little sheaves
Exultant, dear hours, l shout in my iov.
The day is q story untold-yes, untold:
Inspire my heart with most happy employ,
To write il in letters of blue and OF gold
Sweet sunbeams a-held come, crowd ye all III,
And We soft, dreamy airs that so by-do'tt go
by;
Come teach my willing soul to begin
A song that may echo on high-yes, on high.
Oh. soft, mellow hours ye drift to'ard the tide,
Toward the low golden gates of the day
I see the dark ofiing, which soon must divide
Your beauty from lines that are gray;
But pause, happy hours, may not DO long;
So fold your white wings over me, over me,
Till finish the rhythm Of my little life-song,
And Ill go a-sailing, too, far over tho sea.

Pet Dogs i'm Paris.

Every dog has his day; for pet dogs
this day is very happy one, at least
in Paris. Every grand lady's dog is
far better known by her friends than
her children, for the latter remain in
the nursery with nurses and govern
esses, drive out and dine alone, are never
seen in the drawing-room, while Nero
and Finette are ever at their fond
mistress side; they have their privi-
legged corner or seat in the reception
rooms; after the mistress, they are the
ones next saluted by callers and guests ;
the best tid-bits of sumptuous table
are given to Gyp or Mopes; in their
best bib and tucker they are driven in
madame's carriage, IN which the best
places are reserved for their dogships.
At the present day the aristocracy of
dogs is as we'll defined as the aris-
tocracy of their masters, and dog brain
is not so dull as to be oblivious to the
great distinction made In their favor;
the noted pet dog of Paris knows its
rank and looks down on plebeian
churls accordingly.
A chic dog has his fashionable tailor,
and he would thing himself degraded
if he did not have his things made at
the renowned dog tailor, Ledouble.
The trousseau of dog varies accord
ing to the race to which he belongs; it
is composed of shirts, vests, coats. ar
tistic collars and the variety of orne-
ments to be put on them, bracelets,
leashes, and flower boutonneires
Their livery corresponds with that of
the house. Their articles of toilet COM
prise q whole collection of combs,
brushes, scissors, and shears; some
whose paws are delicate have rubber
boots. The wife of Gen. Turr had a
hood made for Niniche,a Havana puppy,
whose ears are so delicate that it makes
tho thing nervous TO have rain-drops

A Typical Mormon Settlement.

The poverty of these farmers amid
their wheat fields and cattle ranges
seems inexplicable to one who is ignor-
ant of the animus of the Mormon lead
ers. He does not see that here in the
little borough of Cooksville the vast
scheme of robbery and oppression, of
ignorance and vice, is bearing its legiti-
mate fruit. / have wondered why the
people do not rebel and refuse to pay
tithing, but when / approached one
man, in the very prime of life, who
should have had the spirit of young
man on the subject, he said: 81 don't
know. 1t is the way have always been
taught, and it must be right" There
it goes again-"the way L have always
been taught" Neither mind nor spirit
to think for themselves, poor serfs
Far different was the answer L received
from Mormon girl, whose father is a
well-to-do farmer in one of the most
fertile and prosperous valleys of the
Territory. wish the Mormon sympa-
thizers, from the White House down,
could have heard the words and tone:
yes, we young people in Utah
haven't good schools, and it's the Nor
mons fault The leaders don't want
us to learn for fear we will get our eyes
open and then they would lose their
tithing. / hate religion 1t is big
scheme for robbing the poor. Look at
my father. He ought to be rich man,
but the church has ground him as it
has ground his wheat, and often he has
been called to pay his So, SO or $40 in
tithing, and he has done it while his
daughters were suffering for shoes.
Look at - and his starving family.
He had about twenty bushels of wheat
left in March, and on it he and his fam
lily were to live until harvest.
Along comes the Bishop. Good
morning, brother. / want So from you
to pay Brother - 8 fine, and he takes
ten bushels of the wheat at 80 cents
a bushel; he goes back to his starving,
overworked wife and ragged babies,
and never thinks that he is responsible
for their suffering. The remainder of
his wheat goes to the Zion Co-opera-
tive Mercantile Institution at so cents
per bushel, and is returned to him in
flour at So per barrel. Look at the
Bishops and the Presidents houses.
No matter in what settlement you are,
you can tell them at once-elegant on
the outside, elegantly furnished. When
the Bishops are appointed they have
still their usual method of making
living. The tithing they collect is to
be turned over to the higher authori-
ties. In year or two the Bishop gives
up work and builds himself new
house. If he still turns over enough
to satisfy those above him, he is re-
tained if not, another man is anpoint-
ed, and he makes it a point to get rich
as fast as he can. So the money passes
through hand after hand, and no one
of us knows what ever becomes of it. /

fall on them when caught in storm.
These dogs have their special pro-
fessional men, such as bathers, hair
dressers, shearers, and doctors, who
daily comes to attend to their wants. L
really think it necessary for an English
philologist to coin name for such fine
animals; feel as if / were insulting
them to call them dogs. The poodle
is of the kind which demands the most
care. The Marquise Belheuf, Duke
de Morny's sister, has a passion for
poodles. Not finding shearer to suit
her in France, she induced an artist, a
specialist in the shearing business, to
leave Spain, his native country, to at
tend to her many poodles. To be
specially adored, the dog must BE- gil
gantic or liliputian, it does not matter
so much as to its kind; however. the
favorite ones are the Danish, the black
and white poodles, the griffon, and the
terrier; the bulldog has been taken
into favor since the Princesses of Or
leans have adopted him. Letter from

Waiting for the Train.

Gentle reader, did you ever notice
the man who is waiting for the train
He walks into the depot, and after wan
dering around and gazing at all the
tables, he sits down with a sigh
and begins to read his paper; but be-
fore he has had time to read an item
about man being bitten to death by
New Jersey mosquitoes, he is on his
feet again. He burries up to the win
dow of the ticket Office, and inquiries:
"Is there train for New Haven Mt
IL :30?"
"Yes, sir"
Then he goes back to his seat again,
but suddenly he looks up again at the
clock, and hurries again to the ticket
Office with the inquiry:
as that clock right?"
Eyes, sir"
Thanks"
Here he wanders out on the plat
form, and walks up and down a few
times, but the impulse is too strong,
and he again approaches the peddler
of tickets.
al suppose the train is on time to-
day?"
"Yes, SIR"
"All right. Thank you"
This time he goes to where he left
his gripsack and paper, and moves
them to another seat, and having ar
ranged them to his satisfaction, he
again nears the ticket window.
rs that ice-water in the cooler
there?"
"Yes, sir"
"Much obliged. You say the train
is on time?"
ayes, sir"
And you're sure about the clock be-
ing right?"
"Yes. sir"
"There-is that my train coming in
now?'
yes, SIR"
"All right. Thanks"
And then the patient ticket agent
closes the window and sits down to
wait for the next fiend who wants to
take the train. Argus.

yawn and making an excited dash for
the paper. "Wh-where is it? Wh-what
does it say?"

Keep her to it," shouted the Captain,
holding in the weather rattlins, as he
watched the straining mast above.
Just ahead the breakers ran out into q

" smooth water. III we could weather that
point there might be hope. We were shoot

throwing the foam in cataracts over us;
and when l next looked to leeward, the
breakers were whitening astern, and we
were in comparatively deep water.
We could scarcely credit our escape.
For moment or two the crew gazed silent

laughed the old tar, gruffly.
We soon gained an ofing. Before noon
the gale had subsided; and when night
came down upon the seas, the coast was
far away. Meantime the wind hauled

rays of the setting sun fingered on our
mast heads, like the smile of a departing

"Yes, sah."
Fright; and see that you are both watch

Byrn started down the steps, calling TO
his riend.
and hurried after Byrn to the spot where
their horses were fastened.
An instant later the woman heard the
beat of the hoofs as they galloped down
the road.
Then they glanced at "Sam."
His face was expressionless, and they
understood that pity was not to be expected
from him.
An hour passed when loud knock
sounded at the front door, which the eau
tious negro had taken care to close.
The heart sick mother and daughter, who
sat clasped in each others arms, lifted
their heads in terror, thinking that Byrn
and Morley had returned with the clergy
man.
They instinctively arose and stepped in
to the IL.
Sam was Mt hand, and promptly opened
the door, also expecting to see his master.
Three men crowded in as soon as 1t
| opened.
One laid his hand heavily upon the
blacks shoulder.
"Hillo!" exclaimed one, "here's the
| darby; the master can't be far away"
And ere the astonished culprit could at
! tempt to resist, he was securely hand
cuffed.
where's your master2" demanded the
spokesman of the posse.
Don't know, answered Sam, tremulous-
| ly; "mebbe the Teddy can tell you."
mo, we cannot" said Mrs. Byrn; I'VE
only know that he will return soon"
We'll wait, then" remarked the man;
"and now. my fine fellow, we'll tie you to
a chair. We know Ed Byrn and Andrew
Morley well enough to know that three of
us will be none too many to capture them"
What has happened?" asked Mrs. Byrn,
timidly. "Why do you want Edmund Byrn
and his friend?"
I'm sorry for you, madam, replied the
chief, "as | know you are his wife; but he
is the head of the worst band of criminals
that ever infested this country. We've
been on his track for a month, and we'll
take him tonight or die in the attempt
Thank God!" gasped the poor woman
III Claire's ear, you are saved"
And the rough men looking on little
imagined that the tears which sprang from
their eyes were drops of unutteIable
thankfulness.
1t was long after dark before the ex-
pected culprits returned with the minister.
The officers were growing impatient, and
fearful that their intended captives had
been warned of the threatened danger.
But such was not the case. They came
in merrily, a little the worse for wine, or
sonnet thing of the same spiritual nature,
and quite unsuspicious of what awaited
them.
There was, as the officers anticipated, n
desperate struggle in which the so-called
minister made his escape by ignominious
flight.
Byrn and Morley were both captured,
however. and long before the law released
them Claire was safely and happily mar
ried.
But neither she nor her mother ever for
get that hour of agonized waiting.

To 0uench Thirst.

A North Side physician states that
ice-water does not quench thirst, but
increases it. Il remember little
story" said he, (which 1 think might
do much good, if published during this
hot weather, that L heard from an old
sailor. He said that he and six ship
wrecked companions lived four days on
three pints of water, and were not bit
thirsty. When 1 asked him to explain
be said that instead of gulping the
water down they each took teaspoon
full and gurgled it we'll in their mouths.
If any one will try the experiment, no
matter how thirsty he is, by thoroughly
rinsing his mouth with not over table
spoonful of water he will find it will
quench his thirst as efiectually as
quart of water hastily swallowed, and
will not hurt him any. 1 believe that
fully one-third of the deaths during
the heated season are, if the truth were
known, direc ly or indirectly due to
heay drinking Of ice-water. Pitts
