Dancing Nutmegs.

A gentleman. recently returned from
Mexico brought with him curious OBJ
ject which would be of great interest to
lovers Of natural history. He produced
a segment of a Mexican nut, which was
not unlike nutmeg in texture. and
placed it in the palm Of his hand, clos
ing his fingers closely around it, After
a moments imprisonment the hand was
opened and the little section of the nut
rested on its round side upon which it
rocked convulsively. The hand was
closed again for few seconds When
it was opened again mysterious piece
of wood appeared full Of animation and
leapcd as gayly as toad Then the
gentlemen explained the principle and
cause Of the movements There is, !"
said he, "a small worm 10 that nut,
WHICH is dormant until its temperature
is raised to that Of the human body
about niucty-eight degrees. When this
is reached the little insect, which is not
more than sixteenth of an inch ia
length, is revived from its torpid state
and causes tho spasmodic motion. The

How Beautiful the Figures

Whether the notion of the author as
to the origin Of our belief in inmrtali-
ty be the correct one or not, the follow
ing passage from the writings Of very
noted man is extremely beautiful and
at least n fitting tribute to the depth,
the tenderness, the ardor, the undying
constancy Of human affection { q
"The idea of immortality, that like
a seq, has ebbed and flowed in the human
heart. with its countless waves of hope
and fear beating against tho shores and
rocks of time and fate. was not born of
any book, nor Of any creed, nor Of any
religion. II was born of human affec-
ton, and it will continue to ebb and
flow beneath the mists and clouds Of
doubts and darkness as long US love
kisses the cold lips of death. 9
Believing rs we do that the present
is emphatically a state of probation, to
have left man destitute of the idea of
immortality would have been to deny
him ono of the strongest incentives to
right living.
And yet we think there may be
higher motive for doing right than the
expectation of gaining blissful i'm
mortality thereby. which, after ALL con-
tains an element Of selishness.
We mean that doing good for ts own
sake, for the sake of others, and because
we love to do it, is We think the highest
incentive that can prompt to noble God
like action.
If we are correct in this, then our
aim should be to cultivate in ourselves
aud in others a love for the good, and
to do the good, not for our sake, not AS
means of appeasins an offended Deity
so much as for the sake Of the good and
for tho good of others.

A Southern Diana.

Bot must tell you Of something that
lives and moves and has its being,
writes Philadelphia Times correspond
ent from Alabama In short, it is a
girl, not u girl of the period, not n
typical girl Of the South, but our own
Diana who can drive like Jehu, ride
and shoot like cowboy, run as profess
sionaI and swim like duck. She will
go rowing will, no company but her dog
and gun, and she can drop her oars,
spring to her feet with her gun, and
shoot a marsh hen or grossbcck without
rocking the boat or misplacing the oars
She sleeps on pillows Of doyu from birds
and ducks killed by her own hand, and
expects by next spring to have enough
feathers of tho same kind TO make u
feather bed
neglected to mention what per-
haps, is more remarkable than her other
accom- Iishments, she can drive "a nail
without mashing hor fingers. Once, in
deed she drove mil to good purpose
While studying for prize at school she
was taken with violent toothache
Her mother forbade her going to school
in such violent pain. and their was no
dentist nearer than Mobile. So with u
sudden resolve she got nail, and, hold
ing it against the tooth, she drove it out
Cor more like in) with one blow of the
hammer, then went to school and won
the prize. She has kindly taught me
how to row with good stroke and how
to swim with an inflated pillow case.
Now she would teach inc how to shoot.
| can make ready and take aim, but
when the time comes to fire my fingers
are so occupied with stopping my ears
that cannot pull the trigger.
Diana knows every cattle mark in the
community. She owns quite number
Of sheep and COWS, and can tell at
glance if ono is missing. At present
Diana's most devoted admirer is man
who can neither ride, drive, row nor

suspect it is fate nevertheless. for she

that is usually one Of the shadows cast

Flowers for Winter.

plant that pays much better than the

together are beautiful. They do not

THE COAST GUARD.

Do you wonder what am seeing
In the heart Of the fire aglow,
Like cliffs in golden sunset,
With summer sea below?
| see away TO the eastward
The line of storm beat coast,
And hear the tread of the hurrying waves
Like the tramp of mailed host.
And up and down in the darkness,
And over the frozen sand,
see the men OF the coast guard
Pacing along the strand,
Beaten by storm and tempest,
And drenched by the pelting rain.
From the shores Of Carolina,
To the wind swept bays of Maine
No matter what storms are raging,
No matter how wild the night,
The CLEAN OF their swinging lanterns
Shines out with IL friendly light
And many Il shipwrecked sailor
Thanks God, with his gasping breath,
For the sturdy arms OF the oast.guard,
That drew him away from death.
And so when the wind is waiting,
And the air grows dim with sleei.

Pacing along their beat.
think OF a wreck fast breaking
In the surf of rocky shore,
And the life boat leaping onward
To the stroke of the bending oar.
| hear the shouts of the sailors,
The boom of the frozen sail,
And the creak of the icy halyaris
Straining against the gale.
"Courage" the captain trumpets,
"lhey are sending help from land y

And hold their lives in his hand

Thore was time when you dandlet
 Roger Darrell upon your knee: will you

Thore was time when you dandlet Roger Darrell upon your knee: will you now refuse to evon clasp his hand3"
 Friends r almost shouted the old mar in his ungovernable rage, for he possessed fearful temper. ''I tell you I hate youf name; hate your face; I hate even the sight of your presence. Go from here, aud never let my daughter see your hate ful countenance again. Touch your hand? Sooner would I clasp a vipor whose fangs wero laden with poison. Oncc for all, Roger Darrell, let me tell you we can never be friends; we shall be enemies to tho death; am Q man of iron will as perhaps you know. Carol, look your last on this man who would have caused you to weep tears of blood then come with me-"
 For one minute they stood looking into each others face; then the savage old man wheeled, and, still retaining his hold of Carols wrist, walked away with q vigor that was surprising, considering his age, and yet which stamped his words true :; he was man of iron will.
 Slowly Roger made his way home, but the broad domain over which he had. so lately gloated as the home to which he would bring his bonny bride had lost all its charms for him.
 Hardly had he passed from Carols sight down the forest aisle, before the bushes rustled not far away, and female form thrust itself into view, a girls face, with the largest black eyes imaginable, which were flashing with mingled fires. Her path lay directly across the one Roger " ,s so sadly pursuing. Her sudden and weird appearance startled Roger, and caused him to spring back out of her way.
 She passed swiftly on, muttering ve- hemcntly to herself, but Roger was so deeply absorbed in his own sad love affair, that, having recovered from his surprise, he paid no further attention to her.
 He did not see the girl suddenly turn. cast upon him the intensest firelight of those flashing eyes, nor hear hor awful threat.
 '.The blow Is falling, Roger Darrol, and it shall be tho hand of the despised gipsy that sends the poisoned dart to your heart. Pain and trouble-thcy shall come to you through Barbara Merriles :"

be seen that his iron constitution had re> sisted the ravages of time, and that. 90 far as physical strength Is concerned, he was as halo and hearty as most men at forty.
 In his hands he carried 6 stout cane.
 His countenance would have been . remarkable one at any time, but seen just then, contorted with the feeling of anger that seemed to possess his soul, 1t was face that Roger would never forget to his dying day.
 Roger Darrel had not seen him for more than fifteen years, but some intui- tive power seemed to tell him shat he was now face to face with the man who had refused to forgive his father, even on his death-bed-Lawrence Richmond.
 The tableau remained unbroken for moro than full minute, and then it was the old gentleman who made tho first move

"A LIGHT BREAKS IN UPON ME-"

"A LIGHT BREAKS IN UPON ME.
 "Aha" he exclaimed, almost hissing the words through his ,clenched teeth, while his hand frightened it's grasp upon the cane, "a light breaks in upon me. It Is easy to understand now why your afternoons have been so we'll taken up that you have had no time to spare with me. And you, Richmond, betray the trust put in you! For shame, Carol, for shame!'
 The young girl tried to stammer out some excuse, but he would not listen to her.
 Hush! do not make the matter worse by attempting to explain. You have de- ceived me, and nothing can undo that. Still, 1t might have been worse, and may yet forgive this lover, who Is too much of a craven to seek you in your fathers home. Turn around, young man, and let me see your face. My eyes arc not what they used to be, and you have held your head low, as if your soul recognized the wrong you have been do- Ing my daughters fair name in these l clandestine meetings. If you be man, raise your head, sir, and look mo in the eyes"
 There were several reasons why the blood should leap into the face of Roger Darrell
 l In the first place, the words of Law renee Richmond had fallen upon his ears like thunder-clap, and staggered him. Carol, his daughter! 1 Like an inspiration it came to him, and he realized that she was tho little three year-old Carrie, who had been toddling around at the time of the dispute which made his father and Lawrence Richmond such deadly foes.
 l How strange that the idea had never entered his head before. He saw now just where he had deceived himself, as Carol had done with regard to his own identity.
 1 That was one reason why he should blush another good one lay in the words of the old man.
 ] His tone was insulting, too, considering the fact that he was addressing proud man, and the wealthiest landowner fol many miles around. Roger knew that ar explosion was at hand, but he was now | nerved to meet 1t.
 Even while the flush still stained his cheeks, Roger removed his hat and with manly dignity stood before the old gen. | tleman. There was no reason why he should be ashamed because he loved tho daughter of his deadly enemy, and yet ( cold chill seemed to pass over his heart as he saw the look that appeared upor Lawrence Richmond's face.
 The sheer that had accompanied his words gave away to a look of implacable hate and savage fury.
 "You are other than I believed" he finally gasped, rather than spoke.
 II am Roger Darrell" replied th' young man simply.
 "Then you are my bitterest foe. Yo, thought to strike a blow at my heart, by stealing my pet daughter, but heaven has thwarted you, you villain" grated he, a lone hand grasped Carols wrist and drev her to him, while with the other he shool his heavy cane in Rogers face.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-06-29

calmly, saying as he did SO:
 'sBelieve me, Mir. Richmond, declare to you on my honor as gentleman"
 "Honor! A Darrel speak of honor Como now, that Is too good, young man" 7"
 Again the blood leaped& into Rogers face at this insult. A younger man would have paid the penalty of his rashness on the spot. Lawrence Richmond's age and the fact that he wGs her father caused the young man to hold his impulse in check.
 "Mr. Richmond, you and my father were enemies, but at hls death ho would have had you with him so that he might have asked your pardon for his share of the difference existing batween you two. Whether you over received his message, ,or not, do not know, but you gave no sign. He is in his grave now, and l, his only son, havc givon you no reason to hate me. Then, why should wo not be friends:
