IN AN OLD ORCHARD.

Men think of me Away as deaf and voiceless,
Having no memory for time or things,
Unwatchful of the paSsHlg OF the seasons
Unmindful of the futtering oil wings.
And visit not that through all the winter
weather
AS over me the snow its white net weaves,
AS sharp winds whistle down the barren
passes,
My gauut arms hunger for the coming leaves,
And long once more to see the buds run riot
Among my ichened branches bare and gray,
To hear again the nesting birds go wooing
Adown my borders all the livelong day.
My leaves give welcome when the birds wing
homeward
From Southern winter into Northern spring,
And in the late fall days the same leaves inger
To see the last bird southwark turn its wing.
When through the vanished years have foI
gotten
In early spring to set my ways ALLOW,
To fling broad leaves adown the paths -
shelter
The lambs and children in the hot noon glow
When through the vanished years have I for
gotten,
AS sharp frosts touch and scar the garden
ways,
And summers ample vintages are shrunken,
To bring my fruitage in the autumn days?
Then think not am Away deaf and voiceless,
Having no Ilemory for bud and song,
For through my gnarled and barren branches
ever
The thoughts of nesting birds and blossoms
throng.

Mrs. Hornbill, when did the post
men change their uniforn?''
"Wh&t?" sho asked.
'When did the Government of the
United States of America prescribe
swallow-tail coats for postmen?"
"Horatio, it is all mistake, for there
was no one, and l only said that to sat
isfy you. l believed you about Ara
bella"
81 say there was no Arabella!"
And | say there was no man; so we
must believe each other. 1t is now so
late we will let the curtains CO. and, as
| am going upstairs, you can lock up tho
house"
Mr.. Hornbill was not satisfied about
the man, and Mrs. Hornbill was not sat-
isfied about Arabella; and while he was
looking about the room she was listen
ing outside Of the door. Then for a
moment he forgot about the man, as
the play that had to be committed to
memory came to his mind; and he sat
by the candle to read it. Now, Mr..
Hornbill hadn't much Imagination, and
he felt that he could do much better if
he only had Arabella to practice with;
but as that was out of the question, he
did the next best thing to aid his imag-
nation by building a dummy woman
out of an umbrella, shawls, wraps, a
bonnet, and pair of his shoes, and
seating her in chair. Then, with the
manuscript in his hand, he said: Now,
Arabella, W can have a comfortable
time"
Mrs. Hornbill heard the words and
Mr. Hornblll saw the door opening, and
with one breath he extinguished the
light and left the room in darkness as
he hid behind the table.
"Horatio, where are you, and what
does this mean?' she asked, but no an
swer came. Mr.. Hornbill heard his wife
feeling her way toward the table, and
with presence of mind that showed
genius he poured a glass of water into
the matchbox.
Mrs. Hornbill felt about the table
until she had the matchbox, and then
proceeded to scratch each match with
out any of them lighting. She then
thought of her husbands vest, and
while on her way to it lie crept noise
lessly into the hallway; and she, find
ing the vest hanging on chair, tried
to light number of toothpicks that she
found in the pocket before learning of
her mistake; then, trying another
pocket, she found some matches and
lighted the candle.
AS she looked about the room and saw
the dummy she gave a scream and ex.
claimed: Horrors! you impudent
thing, what are you doing here? Speak!
you Arabella!" And as her husband
entered with the dress-coat on his arm
she turned to him and continued:
Now, tell me it is mistake if you
can. Look at that thing-with No. 9
shoes on, as liver
That" said Mr.. Hornbill, as he
knocked the dummy over, sis the Ara
bella that l was rehearsing with, and
now you have spoiled the surprise that
Mary had arranged for you; but this
coat! now tell me that it is mistake"
THAT" answered his wife. "And
now you have spoiled surprise that
John had arranged for you"
Mutual explanations followed, and
the tin-wedding was a happy success,
though the surprises had to be omitted.

A Case of GiObular lightning.

The Caucasus papers relate an inter-
esting case of globular lightning which
was witnessed by party of geodesists
on the summit of the Bohul Mountain,
1000 feet above the sea. About three D.
M, dense clouds of dark-violet color
began to rise fro m the gorges beneath.
At eight p. m. there was rain, which was
soon followed by hail and lightning. An
extremely bright violet ball, surrounded
with rays, which were, the party says,
about two yards long, struck the top of
the peak. A second and third followed,
and the whole summit of the peak was
soon covered with an electric light
which lasted no less than four hours.
The party, with one exception, crawled
down the slope of the hill to a better
sheltered place, situated a few yards
beneath. The one who remained was
Mr.. Tatosoff. He was considered dead,
but proved to have been only injured
by the first stroke of lightning, which
had pierced his sheepskin coat and
shirt, and burned the skin on his chest,
sides and back. At midnight the second
camp was struck by globular lightning
of the same character, and two persons
slightly felt its effects.-N. Y. Ledger.

EeIs stopped the Mill.

Mud Creek, the outlet of Lake Lamo-
ka, on top of the high hills east of
Hammondsport, furnishes water power
to Jesse Munson's saw-mill. Lake La
moka is famous for its GELS. A few
days ago the water being turned on full
head at the mill, which was in opera
ton, the waterwheel suddenly ceased
to go round. The saws all stopped, and
the sawyer went to see what the trouble
was. He saw sight that staggered
him. Every bucket of the wheel, and
wherever there was space between the
paddles, was damned full to overlooking
with writhing mass of cells. The fish
had come down tho stream in such num-
bers that they choked the passage.
They were packed in the wheel so COM
pactly that they had to be chopped out
with axes from the buckets. Nine hun
bred cells were removed from the wheel
before operation at the mill could be re-
sumed. This is the third time in the
history of this mill that it has been
shut down by cells in the same way

Suggestions for Industrious Wage-work-
ers Everywhere.
There is no end of 'plans of lots espe--
cially adapted to the convenience of
workingmen" for sale in and about.
Pittsburgh, and there is a big demand
for such lots. The syndicate of specu-
lators buy 10 acres, say at 81, 600 an acre,
cut each acre up into IL lots and retail
them at from $3.50 to $500 lot This.
gives them about $4,000 for each acre,
and it may cost $500 an acre for expenses,
leaving the enterprising spectators
clear $1,000 or 800 per cent on the ad-
venture. Mayhap the Spectator is.
worthy of his hire, but there is biblical
authority for asserting positively that
the laborer is thus worthy and logically
he is entitled to have this hire economi--
cally expended.
| If instead of 16 workmen BUYING lots,
equal to one acre from specuiStors,
these 16 were to form little syndicate
of their own and put up $4 500, they
could buy two acres for $1,000, thus
giving them double the area in each lot,
that the spectators would sell them,
and expend the balance so as to have
roadways, boardwalk. fencing and other
improvements. Men who have the good
sense to save money to build their own
homes should exercise this sense little
further and do as is suggested in the
foregoing.
Money invested in this way is as we'll
invested as in savings bank, and prom
ises much largest interest in case some
time hereafter one may desire to sell
out. For don't you see each man would
have the advantage of low price for
his real estate. The l6 with whom we
illustrate this plan would have a clean
profit in their two acres of 81, 600 or $475
each as compared with what others pay
real estate spectators. This is pretty
good mar in to start off With, and would
. certainly assure tho individual against
loss if he wished to sell.-National
