steamer in Bluefelds until you arrive at
Boca del Rama, distance of sixty miles,
there is always something pleasing for the
eyes to rest upon. Every element which
goes to make up grand and beautiful nat
ural scenery; mountains, large bodies of
water and variety of trees and flowers, can
be seen on this river. As we entered the
mouth OF the river from the lagoon the
air was, in fact, just simply loaded down
with delicate perfumes, emanating from
Towering vines bushes and trees. Here,
too, are to be seen hundreds of large and
small birds of the most gorgeous plumage,
whistling, singing, screaming and darling
from bOugh to bough, their only object,
seemingly, to make the scene more attrac-
tive. Looking across the river / see very
large alligator, with his mouth wide open,
stretching mis- lazy length on a sand bank.
In moment several breech-loaders are
ready and are fired, but the alligator
sleeps on, Oblivious to our blood-thirsty
intentions.
The country for fifteen or twenty miles
up the river is low and swampy, and not a
house nor human beings face did we see
in this distance. Now the face of the
country puts on a different appearance.
for the land gets higher and dry, and a
few small banana plantations begin to
spring up on either side. 4 few miles
more brings US to where banana planta-
tions begin in earnest, and continues al
most one solid farm to Rama, and from
there up the two rivers, Siquia and Rama.
| These two rivers join at Boca del Rama to
form the Escondida or Bluefelds river.
A banana plantation is about as pretty
sight as one would wish TO see. They
grow from twenty to twenty-five feet in
hight, with leaves from seven to ten feet
long and from two to three feet wide. At
intervals Of every mile or half mile we
would pass small houses with matched
roofs, while perhaps a dozen half nude
women, men and children would run out
''to see the teemer pass, sah' like so many
pigs let out OF stye. The country be-
comes higher and better as you go up the
river; the scenery also puts on grander
appearance. Great, green, steep mount
aims, covered to their SUBMITS with beau
tiful trees put up close to the river banks.
Here and there a perpendicular cliff broke
the smoothness OF the slope, and over the
cliffs leapt tiny cascades-threads Of light
sparkling in the sunshine. The air was
warm and soft; the sloping sunshine lay
on the grove and clearing, mountain side,
forest and banana fields, making every
thing glow with a splendid richness and
prodigality of color, softening outlines and
bringing out new and unexpected curves
on the hillsides
The steamer made frequent landings at
the plantation houses to deliver goods
bought at Bluefelds, and at each landing
the Spaniards aboard would sing out
Amigo to those ashore. Thought that
every Spaniard In Nicaragua was named
amigo, but have since learned that in
the Spanish language it means "mv
friend" As we approached the little town
of Boca del Rama the sun was sinking be-
hind the western hills, mantling with its
last rays the scene with gilt and gold, and
felt that l had passed at least one day OF
unalloyed pleasure. S.

water as a substitute For Grace.

Sister Weymouth was one OF the most notable
women that ever lived in the good old Maine
town of Bsnkmouth, says the Lewiston
Journal She was notable for her powers as an
exhorter, which shOne in the village prayer
meeting as brilliantly as those of any licensed
preacher whom the villagers heard and for her
quick w.t. that found expression in many
quaint aud pithy speeches. some Of which are
treasured to this day although she has long been
gathered to her fathers and mothers.
A worthless young man named Frost fell in
love with Sister Weymouth's daughter. Fail.
ing to melt the stern objections Of the young
woman's mother in any other way. he pretended
10 be converted under her eXhortations, joined
the church and was married TO his hearts
desire.
Very soon the bad blood in Frost's veins
asserted itself and the rascal deserted his wife
after he bad lived with her but five or six
months Not long afterward his child was
born. While the officiating person was giving
the infant bath, Sister Weymouth came in.
Look here" said she, "be sure and hold
that baby under water long enough to get all
the Frost out of itp'

Wanted a Correction.
lArkansaw Traveler.l

tArkansaw Traveller
The editor of the Rornbeafp lN1,d received a
visit from lobe Phillips.
Look here" said 1Ir. Phillips, last week
you spoke of the death Of my grandmother
Mrs. HarSy."
Yes, yes, so 1 did. Anything wrong?'
'You said she was ninety-eight years old and
---n
"Well, wasn't she that old?'
ooh, yes, but you said she never chewed
tobacco and was never drunk in her life"
''Well, is there anything wrong about thats'
But don't you understand, it sorter reflects
on us-on her."
"How So"
''WalI. now III tell you. I don't reckon
there is more respectable lot Of people any
where than we are"
That's all right old fellow. didn't mean
any reflection. You see, when a very old man
dies, the newspapers, particularly the temper
ance publications, say that he never used to-
bacco or liquor; and what / said was merely a
take off,"
Yes" said the visitor, ''your intentions
were all right, but what you say amt the
truth. The old lady usually took chew of
tobacco about the size OF a walnut and / don't
reckon there was a better judge of Ticker in
our neighbOrhoOd. She was sorter proud of
her record in regard to Ticker and if it won't be
too much trouble to you l wish you would
make q sort of correction"

manor to make sure that all was right, and
we found an open window and moving
lights. We were five in number and armed.
The sergeant and two of his men entered
by the same road as the burglars, and at
signal by the officer | aroused the house
hold. One thief was taken in the act OF
selecting the choicest specimens of your
old-iashioned silver, and, TO our Infinite
bewilderment, we discovered later that
clever housekeeper and second confeder-
ate were caught like rats in a trap. That
was the work of Miss Maggie here As
soon as we learned this we applied to the
young lady, got the key and entered. We
were only just in time TO thwart an at
tempt 20 escape by the window. But for
the hight and the awkwardness of the
descent the man at least would have
escaped. But the three are in Siston jail.
"And have to thank YOU" said papa,
''for the protection of my property, Mr..
Lidaw; am sincerely grateful"
"And | am glad 10 have been of serv-
ice, " answered our friend.
Ny story is almost at its close. One
point which was cleared up at the trial at
Siston assizes was that of the choice OF the
occasion for the attempt. It came out
that fictitious letter had been compiled
which would equally have taken papa
from home that stormy February night;
but this part of the scheme was rendered
superfluous by the genial message Of Sir
Hugo Ferris and the resolve towhich papa
subsequently came.
Mrs. Misunderstanding many other
names equally convenient for a month or a
year-was this time punished by a heavy
sentence, her two associates being treated
with the like severity.
Val believes more than ever in graphi-
ology.
We lost a housekeeper but gaineda per
manent friend. Mr.. Lidlaw comes now as
frequently 10 Walsney as to Walsney
cross. And may / not confess that there
is more behind? / have special reasons
to remember with thankfulness the deliv-
erance from that dark peril To these
events owe an introduction to Harry
Lidlaw, Mr.. Lidlaw's nephew. He, too,
is our friend; and I have promised him
that one day ! will let him assume a still
dearer title. It is unnecessary to be more
explicit; any loving girls heart will read
the meaning into the riddle.

The Month of June.

lis June;
The air Is warm, the roses bloom.
This month is summers bridal day,
The world is decked in floral ray.
With sweet, old-fashiened scented pinks,
With garden thyme aud iessamiue
And buttercups, till oft methinks
That tbs the resurrection day,
And flowers are mortals who have cast
From oiTtheir forms the shroud away.
June, thou art dear 10 me;
Thou gavest me birth and robed the earth
In brightest flowers,
That I. in childhood's heeting hours
Might happy be.
Thou brou ut q lover DER the sea
And gave us golden hours together,
As, wandering over the grassy lea
our hearts you taught Unconsciously
The sson that VIC all must learn.
But whether late or whether soon,
lis better learned in thee, sweet jung,
All, gentle month, you could not stay,
For July's heat drove you away.
Then came the winters bOresl blast;
II, too, could not stay, but raised.
The south wind bore you back again.
Your honey cells are dlled with pain.
You saw me clad in snowy white,
They twined in my hair your garlands bright
You saw me standing as his bride,
You him stricken by my side;
And leaf By leaf tender June,
You dropped your roses on his tomb.
SO some Of the memories are sweet TO me,
And some are full Of misery.
But welcome you, dearest Of the year.
I welcome you with smile and tear
There is one boon I would ask of thee,
And It's: When from time 10 eternity
Ny weary feet have trod the way,
Through dawn's darkness TO life's bright day,
That up through azure, starlit skies,
To meet its God let my soul arise,
There scatter thy roses DER our tomb,
And let me die in thee, sweet June.

NYhen Old .Inck Died.

When old Jack died, it seemed human friend
Had suddenly gone from Us; that some face
That we had loved TO fondle and embrace
From babyhood, 10 more would condescend
To smile on Us forever, We might bend
With fearful eyes above him, interlaoe
Our fingers DER him, romP and race,
Plead with him. call snd cosI-sye, we might send
The old halloo up for him, whistle. hist
Of sobs had let U.S., or, wildly vain,
snapped thumbs, called speak" and be had not
replied;
We might have gone down on our knees aud kissed
The toused ears, and yet they must remain
Deaf and mOtionless, we knew-when old Jack died
When old Jack died. it seemed TO US, some way,
That all the other dogs in town were panied
With our bereavement, and some that were
chained
Even slipped their collars on that day,
To visit Jack in state though 10 pay
A last sad tribute there. while neighbors crsned
Their heads above the fence and deigned
To sigh "Poor dog" remembering how they
Had cuffed him, when alive, perchance because
For love Of them he lesped To lick their hands
Now that he could not they were satisfied?
We children thought that, as We crossed his paws,
And DER his grave way down the bottom lands
Wrote, "Our First Love Lies Here" when old Jack
died.
