A Winter without a Snow plov.

1t is fact probably without precedent
that there has been no use for snow
plows on Vermont railroads during the
winter just closed. 1t is true that the
narrow gauge plow was run over the
road once or twice-not to open the
track, however, but to provide for the
possible contingency Of heavy snow
storm. The Central Vermont plows were
not called out at all. -Brattleboro Phoa.

Berlin newspaper correspondents were
not allowed to send out the news of Bis
marck's resignation on the night when
it first became public. They rewrote
their dispatches so as to make them say
that it was rumored that Bismarck had
resigned, and the authorities let them
go in that shape. Then the correspond
ents filed a second dispatch saying,
"The rumor is fact" and the authori-
ties could find no excuse for refusing to
send it.

The cross Of Christ was discovered in
A D. s2G by the Empress Helena and
Maearius, patriarch of Jerusalem-an
event which convulsed Christendom,
and which is still commemorated by the
Christian church on May 8, the feast OF
1.-THE Invention of the Cross, as it is
called in the calendar Of our "Book of
Common Prayer"
The Holy Rood remained entire until
A. ID. 696, when, TO provide against the
possible calamity Of its total destruction
by the infidels, it was decided to divide it
into nineteen portions This was done,
and the parts were distributed in the fol-
lowing proportions;
Constantinople ........8 Jerusalem m........a
Cyprus us................2 Georgia.
Antioch ...............3 Alexandria ...........I
Crete te.-......-..-......l Ascalon.
Edessa- ................i Damascus s.............1
Rohault de Fleury calculates that the
total volume of the wood of the cross
was somewhere about 17s, ,0O0, 900 cubic
millimeters. he has made a careful list
Of all the relics of the true cross known
to exist in Christendom at the present
day, with their measurements, and finds
the volume to be about 3,942, 900 cubic
millimeters, so that, as might have been
expected, the greater part Of the holy
rood has disappeared. He also had the
opportunity Of making a microscopical
examination of different relics, and
comes to the conclusion that the wood
was either pine or something closely al
lied to it.
OF places where relics of the holy cross
have accumulated, Mount Athos stands
pre-eminent, with total volume of S7S,-
$50 cubic millimeters; then Rome, with
537 ,5S7; Brussels, 10000; Venice, 49,

once. And he went AS he dropped out
of the window she kissed his forehead
twice, and he walked home wondering.
A week, and then three weeks, passed
without a sign from Bisesa Trejago,
thinking that the rupture had lasted
quite long enough, went down to Amir
Mathis gully for the fifth time in the
three weeks, hoping that his wrap nc the
sill of the shifting grating would be
answered He was not disappointed.
There was a young moon. aud one
stream of light fell down into Amir
th'sgully and struck the grating which
was drawn away as he knocked. From
the black dark Bisesa held out her arms
into the moonlight Both hands had
been cut off at the wrists. and the
stumps were nearly healed.
Then, as Bisesa bowed her head be-
tween her arms and sobbed, some one in
the room grunted like wild beast, and
something sharp-knife. sword, or spear
thrust at Trejago in his boorka. The
stroke missed his body, but cut into one
of the muscles of his groin, and he
limped slightly from the wound for the
rest of his days.
The grating went into its place. There
was no sign whatever from inside the
house-nothing but the moonlight strip
on the high wall and the blackness Of
Amir Maths gully behind.
The next thing Trejago remembers,
after raging and shouting like a mad
man between those pitiless walls, is that
he found himself near the river as the
dawn was breaking, threw away his
boorlxa. and went home bareheaded.
What the tragedy was---whetner Bisesa
had, in a fit of causeless despair, told
everything, or the intrigue had been dis
covered and she tortured to tell; whether
Durga Charan knew his name and what
became of Bisesa--Trejaso does not
know to this day. Something horrible
had happened, and the thought of what
1t must have been comes upon Treiago
in the night now and again and keeps
him company till the morning. One
special feature of the case is that he does
not know where lies the front of Durga
Charans house. 1t may open on to a
courtyard common to two or more houses,
Or it may lie behind any one Of the gates
Of Jitha Megjfs bustee. Trejago can not

The city, where each mans house is as
guarded and as unknowable as the grave,
and the grating that opens into Amir

But Trejago pays his calls regularly,
and is reckoned very decent sort Of q

There is nothing peculiar about him
except a slight stiffness, caused by a
riding strain, in the right leg. [Rudyard

HorsemanshIp OF Indian Riders.

Fifty fine looking young men, mounted
upon ponies, drew up before the tents.
At signal from the chiefs they began
their evolutions with loud yell. In
moment they disappeared over a neigh
boring hill Then there suddenly rose
mighty tramping of horses feet, and
they swept past again, so compact that
! only saw a ball made of horses and men.
Splitting in two, one body swept to the
right and another to the left, and again
they disappeared. Presently they
charged each other in solid lines, and
while the spectators waited breathlessly
for the shock Of collision the files skill
fully opened to the right and left and the
lines passed through the invervaIs with
out touching.
Now came the moment for displaying
individual horsemanship. Some of the
riders approached, each lying so close to
his ponys back that nothing but the
horse could be seen. Others stood erect
upon their animals backs. Some hung
to the horse by one hand, so that their
bodies were completely protected by
those of the ponies. These young warri-
ors also threw objects upon the ground,
and picked them up at full gallop, and
drew bows and shot arrows from beneath
the horses necks Some of the men ex-
changed horses while riding. Again q.
man would fall from his horse, as il
wounded, and two others, riding up be-
side him, would take him by an arm and
a leg, swing him between their horses
and carry him off. This exhibition
lasted nearly two hours, and at it's close
men and horses were completely ex-
hausted. All that evening the human
performers lay in their lodges, while the
Indian woman brought them food and
bathed them.

me message must come from the person
behind the grating, she being a widow.
So the message ran then: "a widow in
the gully in which IS the heap of bhusa
desires you to come at IL o'clock.
Trejago threw all the rubbish into the
fireplace and laughed He knew that
men in the East do not make love under
windows at II in the forenoon, nor do
women fix appointments week in ad-
vance. So he went. that very night at
IL. into Amir Mathis gully, clad in q
boorka, which cloaks man as well as a
woman. Directly the gongs in the city
made the hour the little voice behind the
grating took up The Love Song of Har
Dyal at the verse where the Panthan
girl calls upon Har Dyal to return. The
song is really pretty in the yernacular.
In English wa miss the wall of it. IL
runs sem athng like this:
Alone uIoa the housetops, to the North
turn and watch the lightning in the sky
The giamor OF thy footsteps IN the North,
Come back to me. Beloved. or diel
Below my feet the still bazaar is laid.
Far, far below the weary camels lie
The camels and the captives of thy raid.
Come back to me, Beloved, or die!
My fathers wife is old and harsh with years,
And drudge of all my fathers house am l.
My bread is sorrow and my drink is tears,
Come back to me, Beloved, or die.
As the song stopped Trejago stepped
up under the grating and whipered, II
am here.

Next morning, as he was driving to
Office, an old woman threw apacket into
his dog cart. In the packet was the half
of broken glass bangle, one flower. Of
the blood red dhak, pinch of bhusa or
cattlefood, and eleven cardamoms That
packet was letter-not clumsy COM
promising letter, but an innocent unin-
telIigible lovers epistle.
Trejago knew far too much about
these things, as / have said. No Eng
lishman should be able to translate
object letters. But Trejago spread all
the trifies on the lid of his Office box,
and began. to puzzle them out.
A broken glass bangle stands for a
Hindu widow all India over, because
when her husband dies the woman's
bracelets are broken on her wrists.
Treiago saw the meaning of the little
bit of glass. The flower of the dhak
means diversely desire, come, {"
write, or danger, according to the
other things with it. One cardamom
means jealousy, but when any article
is duplicated in an object letter it loses
Its symbolic meaning. and stands merely

BEYOND THE PALE.
A STRANGE STORY OF INDIA.

"Love beeds not caste nor sleep broken
bed. went I'm search of love and lost myself" Z"
-IHindu Proverb.
A man should, whatever happens,
keep to his own caste, race, and breed.
Let the white go to the white and the
black to the black. Then, whatever
trouble falls is in the ordinary course of
things-neither sudden, alien, nor unex-
pected.
This is the story of a man who will
fully stepped beyond the safe limits of
decent every day society and paid for it
heavily.
He knew too muchin the first instance,
and he saw too much in the second. He
took too deep an interest in native life;
but he will never do SO again.
Deep away in the heart of the city,
behind Jitha Megji's bustee, lies Amir
Mathis gully, which ends in dead wall
pierced by one grated window. At the
head of the gully is big cowbyre and
the walls on either side of the gully are
without windows. Neither Suchet Singh
nor Gaur Chand ap roves of his women
H.
Charan had been of their opinion he
would have been happier man to-day
and little Bisesa would have been able
TO knead her own bread. Her room looked
out through the grated window into the
narrow dark gully where the sun never
came and where the buffaloes wallowed
in the blue slime.

and she prayed the gods day and night
to send her lover; for she did not APP
prove of living alone
One day the man-Treiago his name
was-came into Amir Mathis gully on an
aimless wandering; and, after he had
passed the buffaloes, stumbled over big
heap of cattle food.
Then he saw that the gully ended in a
trap. and heard Ii lie laugh from be-
hind the grated wi dow. 1t was pretty
little laugh, and ii jago, knowing that,
for all practical pur oses, the old Arab
ian Nights" are good guides, went for
ward to the window and whispered that
verse of ~The Love Song of Har Dyal, !"
which begins:
Tan q man sLanu upright IN the race OF the
naked sun, or lover in the presence of his
beloved
If my feet fail me, Oh heart of my heart,
am to blame, being blinded by the glimpse
of your beauty2
There came the faint tchinks of a
woman's bracelets from behind the graf
ing, and little voice went on with the
song at the fifth verse.
Alas! alas Can the moon tell the lotus Of
her love when the gate of heaven is shut, and
the clouds gather for the rainse
They have taken my beloved, and driven her
with the pack horses to the North.
There are iron chains on the feet that were
set on my heart
Call to the bowmen TO make ready
The voice stopped suddenly, and Tre-
iago walked out of Amir Mathis gully,
wondering who in the world could have
capped "The Love Song of Har Dyal" SO
neatly.
