Tale of an Esquimaux.

An Esquimaux sat on a chunk Of ice
In the land of the northern pole
He cracked his heels and he whistled
twice
At sight that alarmed his soul.
For a stranger came DER the folds Of
snow
At a speed that was fearful quiete;
His cheeks were pallid and thin with woe
Aud the frost on his beard was white
ooh, prithee, pause" cried the Esqui-
maux
From whence do you come so fsstp
81 come from land weary leagues below
This realm with its storm and blast.
81 came from a land IN the far off south
And I've travelled ten Thousand miles
Since last the sun like a besming mouth
Tlrned loose on the earth his smiles.
'I'ye clambered the mountains, on raging
streams
Full oft I've been heaved and tossed
I umpired a game for two baseball teams,
Alas And the home club lostw

PROMISE.

The April day in gloon. was dying
The low clouds driited black with ram
The sobblng wind moaned sullen crying
Past me and returned again.
Through all that day of brooding sadness
And mourning wind and sodden sky
/ sought for some return Of gladness
To glow and CLEAN aud glorify'
The splashing ram held not its falling,
The raging wind ceased not its noan'
There was no sound Of sweet enthralling
AsI watched weary and alone
Yet ere the night came, slow and tender
A sudden sunritt in the gray
Had flooded all the land with splendor
Rapturous as a summer day.
A rainbow in the west low bended
Against the black clouds fleeing by
As the molding winds had swiftly blended
The rainmist with the sunlit sky
And so by each sore woe and signing

Unto the souls sad inner crying
Will come an afterward OF good
Day after day 20 each heart sorrow
Some comfort, wrested from its strife,
Will give promise Of the morrow

At the attaci. on Waitzen a To-
man, carrying the Hungaria ban
ner, led one of the infantry hattal-
ions. 1t was Egla, the valiant
Jewess of Naga.Nemethy. When
the Poles of the Mazuchelli Regi-
ment carried the Komorn hill at
the point of the bayonet it was
Egla who encouraged them. Al
ready struck with two balls she
fell, pierced by a bayonet stroke,

Egla returned to her room and
locked the door. When she felt
sure that her hu usband was asleep
she threw a shawl over her head
and left the house.
The day had scarcely dawned
when a number of cavalrymen ap-
peared before Sonnenfeld's abode.
The door was soon broken in and
some Hungarian hussars, guided
by Egla, went up to the ch amber
where her husband was calmly
sleeping.
"There is the spy !" she cried,
haughtily; 81 want TO see him
hanged !" Sonnenfeld still beg.
ged her to be merciful, bat she re-
NAMED inexUrable. The hussars
bound his hands behiud his back
and led him out. With an imper-
turbable calm his wife saw him
hanged to a branch o: the linden
tree in front of bis house. As soon
as the execution was finished she
mounted a horse that the hussars
gave her and started of with them
on the gallOp.

While the imperial troops, and
her husband with them, retired to-
ward the East, Egla mufled by her
children and hastened to her
parents house. Having placed
her children in security on the
third day she returned home. Her
husband was still absent. During
the following night he crept into
his house like thief. He was
greatly agitated when he saw his
wife come ont of her chamber with
a light in her hand. She placed
the light upon the table, and be-
gan to question her husband as
coldly and severely as a Judge on
the bench.
"Where have you been Z"

"You have furnished him with

Jewess, red with anger. "You

Sonnenfeld, turning pale.

"Well, and what then 7" be said,

DOOMED BY HIS Wife.

Close to the village of Mayhem
ethy, Hungary, is a ruined house
surrounded by an uncultivsted gar
den. Owls and bats have estab.
lished their abode in it, aud when
the sun spreads its warm rays up
on the rotten flooring lizards and
snakes crawl out from the crevices
in the walls to sun themselves. In
summer, aocks of birds make their
nests in the garden, where no one
thinks of disturbing them. In
winter, wolves, gaunt and sinister.
eyed, glide slyly among the leafess
trees and bushes.
In front of this gloomy house Is a
linden tree, its large branches bare
IN summer as in winter. MistletOe
still grows upon its trunk, which
is almost dead; but no one ever
touches the tree or the mistletoe.
Everybody hastens by, the Chris.

and the Hebrews softly murmuring

Nearly 40 years ago, when the
people awakened on all sides and
began to shake of their chains,
this house was inhabited by a
young Jewish family, Adolph Son
nenfeld, a grain dealer, and his
wife, Sarah. Her second name
was Byzantine, and she was usually
called Egla.
While SOnnenfeld recalled no
biblical hero by his appearance or
manners, being blonde, rosy aud
thin like any German, Egla was

ued to advance from all sides. At
sunrise the Imperialists had disap.
peared. An aide-de- camp had
brought TO the general orders to
abandon this position and move
toward the South with his brigade.
Throughout this winter cam
paign In Hungary each day brought
contradictory news. Egla was agi.
tated and sorrowtuI. She could
not sleep at night, and when MORN
ing came, she fell asleep from fa'
tigue, and only awakened after
terrible dreams when the sun was
far above the horizon.
Business was at a standstill.
SonneDfeld alone showed any ac'
tivity, a fact which greatly worried
his wife. He furnished provisions
I
of all kinds for the imperial troops.
Suspicious looking men came to
see him, and after each visit Son.
nenfeld went away from the house
for some time. Egla, with heavy
heart. watched him with increas-
ing mistrust.
One winters day some hussars,
with their carbines loaded, sudden.
ly appeared IN the village. They
were loudly acclaimed and the Joy
increased when they we're followed
by battalion of infantry. The
Hungarians halted, threw out
pickets and began to prepare their
dinner. The inhabitants generous
ly gave up all they possessed to
recompense the brave Hungarian
soldiers for their fatigues and sui
ferings. Egla, not being able to
follow this example without her
husbands consent, began TO look
for him, as he had suddenly disap-
peared. After she had searched in
vain about the house and the neigh.
borhood, an evil suspicion began
to force itself upon her.
At night, when all the inhabi.
tants of Nagy-Nenethy were asleep
Egla remained awake. Seated
upon her bed, she listened TO the
slightest noise. 1t seemed to her
that something terrible was going
to happen something which she
had felt coming for a long time.
She renamed thus for an hour or
two; then, worn ont, she fell
asleep.
Suddenly she was awakened by
musketry shots and a confused
roar Horses thundered by at a
galIop, drains beat, and officers
cried out their orders. The shots
sounded closer /; she opened her
window and a ball struck the wall
beside her. She drew back quick
ly aud extinguished the light.
The struggle went on in the
streets. The imperial troops had
returned, and in the darkness
had surprised and attacked the
Hungarian infantry with superior
forces. A very small number of
Hungarians succeeded IN escaping
with the flag. The rest were kill
ed or made prisoners.
Egla, her ideas all confused, re-
NAMED seated in her chamber. An
hour passed +; then she heard
voices in the neigboring room. One
was that of her husband the
other, clear, vibrating, and foreign,
evidently accustomed to command,
thanked Sonnenfeld and promised
him handsome reward.

Getting Even with Him.

In small garrison town in Prussia
the officers of a cavalry company all
messed together. A newly appointed
second lieutenant had just arrived, and
was eating his first dinner at the mess
table. That day the principal dish was
stewed kidneys. When this dish was
passed around one officer after another
declined to take any, as they knew
the captain was passionately addicted
to stewed kidneys. When the dish
came to the new lieutenant, he, not
knowing any better, helped himself
very literally.
Next day on parade, the captain
asked another officer:
''Who is that wretched creature on
the left2"
That's the new lieutenant"

Great Troubles and Small.

''Man is bundle of contradictions.
He breasts calamity with smile, and
flies into rage at some annoyance.
When the foolish conduct of Lander,
the scholar, had made it necessary for
him to sell his personal property,
transfer his real estate to his eldest
son, and hurry off to the Continent,
he arrived suddenly at Mr.. Forster's
house in London while Dickens and
other guests were at dinner.
Dickens fastened to greet his friend,
expecting to find him cast down; but
the old man illustrated one of his no.
table sayings:
Most things are real to me except
realities.
He sat upon his bed, and talked in
his most genial vein about Latin
poetry.
He went to Florence, and lived in
rooms above those occupied by his
friends, the Brownings, who used to
send his dinner up to hin every day.
Dinner was to him an important
event. He would stand watch in
hand as the hour drew nigh, and if
the dinner was a moment late, he
would seize the dish and throw its
contents out of the window. Mr..
Browning's son says that when young

Beef for Hot Blood.

The idea is beginning to gain vogue
with others who have never considered
the subject in the light that the vegeta-
rians do, that our diet is altogether too
strong in the matter of the more heat
ing meats; so much is this the case
that it is maintained that mild wines
do really less harm to the general sys-
tenn than flesh that is loaded with red
blood. This strong meat, such, for in
stance, as beef, the eating of which, it
is said, frequently generates too hot
blood, gives us our reckless activity.
our intensity and many of our new
diseases. White meats, vegetables, oils
and fruits, in long tried use among the
ancients, are in this view a safer and
wholesomer diet than that which we
have SO long considered the best to be
had.--Harpers Bazaar.

A Rats Careiessness.

A firm of manufacturers in Milwau
kee had an odd experience with rat
lately. Noticing that the bills for
water delivered through meter were
unusually large an investigation was
made, when it was found that the
lead supply pipe in one place ran in
contact with waste pipe, also of lead.
A rat, who frequented the waste pipe,
happening to be thirsty, and divining
by the curious instinct peculiar to
such animals the proximity of sup
ply of water, had gnawed a hole
through the walls of both pipes in
order to get drink. He succeeded in
getting his drink, but omitted to close
the hole again, and the water con-
tinued to flow through the meter and
out again through the waste pipe.
