PAIRING Apples.

Pairing Apples.
Beside the antique wiudow-sIu
The walnut shadow dapples.
In gingham gown and snowy frilI,
she pares the mellow apples.
The oaken floor, the high backed chairs,
The dark-grained wainscot panels,
Whereon the sun prints golden squares,
Keep ancient household annals.
The Maltese mouser purs asleep,
Curled on the vaanced settle,
And gurgIing IN its throttle deep,
Low huns she copper kettle,
The rosy pippin peeling slips
Around the matden's hnger-tips,
And curves letter, while, in song,
She tells or one who tarries long,
From utmost slope to utmost slope
The eye may range delighted;
Soft bends the cirrus hammered cone
Above the ola 'es suniighted.
Between the woodlands brown and bay,
And ploughlands dun and amber
bronZy river creeps away
To seek the Sunsets chamber.
The hollow of the valley hlleG
And fired with dreamy glory
A pleasant scene it is to gid
Lies young, unWritten story.
But she is full OF sweet unrest,
She gazes east she gsZes west,
And sings the burden of her song;
My love. he stays away SO long"
little wood cut hangs between
The windows wide. embrasured,
A wisttul faced Evangeline,
Whose eyes yearn hope unmeasured.
They look away, far, far away,
Across the lapsing river,
Beyond the utmost slope, and pray
And yearn their hope forever.
The maiden looks, the maiden sighs
Her tender eyes are fearful,
"Ah, poor Evangelile ~ she cries,
"You make my heart so fearful"
She sings the burden of her song,
my love, he stays away so long,
Oh, 1t Is cruel, it is wrong
For him to stay away so long u
She gaZes east, the church-spires fade,
She gaZeS west, a gllmmer
Melts through the pine tree colonnade
The slanting swells grow DINNER.
From utmost slope to utmost slope
Is one vast span of shadows,
And spectral vapors slide and grope
Above the lowland meadows.
The apples all are pared aud yet
Beside the sill she fingers,
Although the table must be set
By those same idle fingers.
All, down the dusky riverside
She sees squirting horseman ride;
She sings no more her wishful song,
my love, he stays away so long"

Deserving the Democracy.

An insight to the tendencies of the
times is afforded by this extract from the
Baltimore Herald, an independent paper
which has heretofore shown very pro-
nounced Democratic proclivities:
THE real fight of the pending Presi-
Dental campaign is to hinge not upon
candidates but upon a principle. On the
one hand we have the Democratic party
planted unequivocally upon a platform
that points directly toward free trade
and the consequent exposure of our
working millions to all the evils that af-
feet the laboring elements of she Old
World. On the other we have the Re
publican party standing out in bold relief
upon platform that pledges protection
to the varied manufacturing interests
of the country, which means the
continued development of our material
resources and the elevation of our laborine
people instead of their degradation to the
European level. This is the view which
voters must take Of the two parties, and
the view which they will be likely to take
in spite OF all efforts to give the canvass
tinge of sectional prejudice or partisan
rancor. For the first time since the war
we are to have a national contest fought
out on a distinct, well-defned and we'll
understood issue. 1t is protection on one
side and free trade on the other.
The one great issue of the campaign
stands out as conspicuous in the universal
view as "Chimborazo rising from the
plain" Political forces are all concen-
!rating around it. That the Democratic
ranks are already breaking is promise
amounting almost to positive assurance

House and in the House of Representa-

Is the Earth Getting Tired |!

Is the motion of the planetary bodies
perpetual? At first everything seems
to show that it is. The earth, which,
with its mass of 5000 trillion tons,
turns with speed which enables stu
dent to go barehesded a good many
miles without catching cold in the act
of saIuting a professor. for long time
defed all attempos to detect in it loss
of speed; but with the friction of the
tides continually at work such loss must
take place, and now it is pretty certain
from calculations of Adams, the astron-
omer, that the earth loses about an
hour in 10000 years, and is coming to
rest, though it must be admitted rather
leisurely. So, also, the hurrying up Of
the comets as they 60 round the sun is
also possibly accounted for by retard-
ing action in space which makes it
necessary for them to try and make up,
as it were, for loss of time; and, in
fact, the general arguments in the
present day are in favor of what Sir
Isaac Newton believed-that the mo-
tons of all bodies in space are suffer
ing retardation, and that their velocity
is becoming less and will ultimately
cease. Nature.

Marriage in This COnntry.

An examination of the few available
marriage statistics in this country show
such variations from year to year, ow-
ing to special causes, as to make it hard
to take the statistics of single year,
and prove by their relations with those
of a given number of years, that there
has been either decline or an increase.
The statistics of Massachusetts,, which
date from 1850, show II marriages to
the thousand in that year. In 1894 the
rate had risen to %, and in 1853, the
year succeeding the panic, it had fallen
to IT'S. In 1860 it had risen again to
Dol, but during the three following
years. it averaged only 17.6. The year
1866 saw the ratio increased again to
% !. and it averaged I'll up to and in
GLIDING 1873. owing to depressed
business conditions the rate fell off very
rapidly after this, the average for 1876
77-7S being only 1916 per thousand.
This was low-water mark, the ratio ris-
ing again to 49, in 1853, and declining
to 17.5 in 1885.
No approximate statistics were avail
able for the United states as a whole
before 1853, and even then generaliza-
ton from the returns of few cities was
all that was possible. The meager
data available ut that time indicated
marriage rate of 1871 per thousand.
During the war this average fell to Is. 2,
but jumped to %. when the army was
disbanded and the boys who survived
the war had an opportunity to get mar
ried. During the next eight years, in
GLIDING 1874. the average remained at
about l9, when it gradually dropped to
1873 in 1879, and rose to 1872 again in
1853. During 1884 it fell to Is, and in
the following year TO Ill.
1t will be seen from the Massachu-
sets figures, as well as from those
covering the entire country, that the
marriage rate il very visibly affected by
special conditions, such as war, business
panics and seasons of general CONNER
cial depression. -Phiiadelphia Times.

They Don't Like Thousand Mile Tickets.

A Railway Official-Do travelling men
save anything by buying 1,000-mile

get chance they tear out an extra ten

these tickets discover that it costs as
much and even more to travel with

way conductors, but good percentage
