1nfdelity.
BY JAMES C. CHILCoTI

BY JAMES C. CHILCoTT.
Does Intidelity, like killing frost,
The priceless beauty blight OF this fair earth?
Does Degradation take its profered hand,
And with ii gain. like trusted neighbors loved,
Unchallenged entrance to our homes and
So oft affirms the preacher tried and true
In stirring messages to sinful men;
And he the truth proclaims, though but in
part,
For broader, deeper meaning has the word
Than that the theological applies.
A withering infdety there is,
Too common far. before whose turpitude
Fidelity may well lament and fear
'Tis infidelity arrayed against
Our beings laws, the laws our God has made
To dominate the body, mind and heart,
And make them temples fit for His abode
The which TO desecrate is moral death.
Such infdelity but metamorphoses
The genial optimist who erst saw naught
But good in every thing the Lord has made.
Into the leprous-smitten pessimist,
who finds in sorrow, pain and suffering
a theme for bitter words, penalty
Nindictve aye. and ne'cr remedial.
And infdelity TO home. there is.
And family. crime Transforming man
Into a monster hideous and dark.
Mans infidelity to man beneath
Oblvion's waters buries deep the fact
That he in truth. his brothers keeper is,
And owes him aid, encouragement and love;
The fruitOr's intiteiify IN home
The starry flag. 1.-THE flower of liberty"
In whose secure protection he was reared.
Makes his, unholy treason's shameful crime;
The placemans infdety to those
Who gave him power, stamps him dema-
gogue,
legislator swayed by policy.
And not patriot controlled by right
Graded in ntidelity the child
Becomes, alas the father OF the man,
Begets a withered heart, the glutton's woe.
OR seals the drunkard's fate with loss OF will
lis nfdelity TO right which now
[ Cpbolds the vile saloon. the gamblers den.
The brothePs shame and all the bells OF crime;
'Tis nddelity TO golden rule
Which makes Us cynical, suspicious, false.
Dishonest. disingenuous, unkind.
Appalling word is inddeiity,
Though ofttimes lightly used. and misapped |
But noblest word that lips have voiced, or pen
Has formed, is that divine. impressive one
In reverence We speak, .fdeiUy'

The following interesting facts come TO US
from reliable source; After T.. II. Dyer,
formerly Of sullivan, Maine, sold out his il-
terest in the beet sugar tactory 'u AlH4raip,
California, he, with his oldest sou, and the
oldest son OF his deceased brother, Ephraim,
formed syndicate TO establish beet sugar
factories in several other places. They were
sent for from Utah, after some OF their leading
men had visited Alvarado. The Mes,r,. DIVER
found the conditions in tab favorable, and
agreed to build them IA factory to be- ready for
operation on the first day OF last October, au'l
to run the same for " bile TO instruct the
Utah people TO carry on the business without
outside help. They furnished experts in
every department from the agricultural to the
chemical. The machinery was made ia Cieye-.
land, under the supervision of Harold Dyer,
Ephraims son. They proved that with prop
er irrigation, beets could be raised on the arid
desert lands as well as on the cultivated. The
Utah people are justly pleased with what has
been accomplished. The work was complete
ed on the appointed day, but the crops de-
layed them several days. 1t is the boast Of
the Utah people. that theirs i, the only fac
tory in the lnited States built wholly OF
American materials, by American labor, skill
and brains. President Harrison called al the fac
tory and cheered them on with hopeful words.
The factory is fifty miles from Salt Lake City,
Utah papers and picIoras give very glowing
accounts and representations Of the achieve
ments of Messrs. Dyer in Utah. one pictori-
al which has come to us, gives likenesses of
each of the Dyer partners in the syndicate
which we doubt not are good certainly that
of E. II. Dyer is excellent, he retaining much
of his old-time looks. The AMERICAN wishes
the Messrs. Dyer prosperity in all of the en-
terprises in which they may engage

A PHANTOM PORTRAIT.
from the Cornhill Magazlne.

From the Cornhill Magazine.
DEAR MIKE viii you look in at my shop this
evening? Quiller is in town, and is going TO dine
with me at the club. / can't stand an evening of
him alone, but if you and Teddy o Brien will sup
port me, with pipes and potatlOnS, think we
shall he match for him. Come early, and I'm
your friend for life DICK GRAVES"
l had nothing particular to do, so l sent word
round TO Dick that should turn up, having first
made sure that Teddy O'Brien, whose studio was
in the same block, would go also. Quiller we
knew OF old, as all the world knew him-a man
who had seen everything, done everything, been
eyerywhere-and these occasional visits of his
were a perpetual terror to Graves. Why he paid
them we never knew. There was a kind of ira
ditional friendship between the families GER
tainly, out CUTLER was man who scoffed at ira
dition. He was in every way out OF sympathy
with a set Of ardent and impecunious painters
AS Journalist, as traveller, as man Of the world
he had outliVed his enthusiasm. Life con
tanned no new experiences, no surprises for him
II was only monotonous round of the known
and the expected.
Dick Graves, who usually shone as a host
was not at his best that evening. He was ner
yous at first, and rather silent, leaving the bur
den of talk to Teddy and myself, and we ha(
the iIl-luck as the punch circulated to light OF
q vein of humorous stories, at which we laughed
consumedly ourselves without eyoking even
smile from the guest of the evening.
"Will you fellows look over my Cornisl
sketches % said Graves, suddenly jumping uI
in desperation. ~ think there are some yol
have not seen''-and he began to rummag'
about among pile Of old conyases.
Qniller resumed bis seat ana enthusiastically

walking about the country, that his friends
came and took him away. He died some
months after in an asylum"
"Bv Jove ~ said Teddy O'Brien when Quiller
had finished, and then relapsed into silence.
1 looked at Graves, but he was lost in a
wonderment too deep for words.
,., 1.-The portraits very like her" said CUTLER,
Drake succeeded at last"
"You think" said I, and broke off,
Quiller was putting on his coat. He answered
my unspoken question with a solemnity for
which was not prepared.
"For twenty-five years those two poor ghosts
have been waiting their opportunity. Let us
be thankful that in the end they found it.''
He seemed to forget to take leave of us in
any way, and went without another word AS
the door closed each of us drew deep breath
of relief. Dick raised his head with an air of
stupefaction.
"That's rum story" said Teddy O'Brien;
s'why did you never tell it before?'
''The rummest thing about it is the sequel,n
said l.. 'Dick, old man, is your part true?n
81 don't know" said Dick: 81 begin to think
it must be.''
Great Scotland Yard ~ said Teddy o. Bren
'did you make it up?''
"Every word of it-on the spur of the mo-
ment."
'Did you know"
''Not word. Quiller seemed struck by that
picture, and it was the only sign of human in
terest he had shown, SO l thought I'd humor
him. | didn't mean ghost story when / be-
gan, but it somehow developed into that. |
would have given good deal to take a rise out
OF him, but never hoped for anything SO com
plete as this.'
SIT was a curious coincidence that you should
have taken Drake's COTTAGE" said Mr.. O'Brien.
Eyes" said Dick dryly, ''but the most curl
Gus part OF it all is that the cottage was made
up, too.n
"Great Scotland Yard !" said Teddy O'Brien
again.
Sand who painted the head?''
81 painted it myself" said Dick, ''and L be-
gin to think it must be a deuced good picture"

SIR CUPID.

Sir Cupid once, as L have heard,
Determined 10 discover
What kind OF man maid preferred
Selecting for a lover.
So, putting on a soldiers coat,
He talked of martial glory;
And from the way he talked, they say,
She seemed to like-the story!
Then, with smile sedate and grim,
He changed his style and station;
In shovel hat and CATERS trim
He made his visitation.
4 talked of this, discoursed on that,
OF Palestine and Hermon;
And from the way he preached, they say
She seemed to like-the sermon!
Tnen, changed again, he came to her
A roaring, rattling sailor.
i cried, ''Ho, no I. [ love you so ~
And vowed he d never fail her.
IL talked of star and compass true,
The glories of the ocean;
and from the way he sang, they say,
She seemed to like-the notion.
Then Cupid, puzzled in his mind,
Discarded his DISCUSSES;
That you no preference seem to find
Ny fancy much surprises"
why so?" she cried, with roguish smile,
why, prithee, why so stupid?
Go not care what garb you wear,
So long as you are-Cupid! ~

Fees of Pension Attorneys.

1t is probable that the conference on the Pen
sion Appropriation bill will be compelled to
report disagreement. The House conferees
have sent an ultimatum to the Senate conferees
insisting that the reduction of fees of pension
attorneys made by the bill shall apply in all
cases except where special contracts are on file
in the Pension Office The Senate conferees
insist that the reduction shall not apply to any
existing contracts, whether on file in the Pen
sion Office or not, and refuse to go any further.

Aud Some of the Curious Things lie Has
Gathered In 1t.
Stuart Robson's house at Cohassct
Mass. is an unpretcntious but pictur,
esque structure, almost entirely hidden
from the main road by trees, rocks and
shrubbery. HIS inclinations run to
grass. lie has thirteen different lawn
mowers. Every new patent OF this
character finds in him n ready pur-
chaser. ANY bright day except Sunday
he may be found at the tail end OF a
lawn mower. Eleven brown boys arc
in his employ, and TO see each little
urchin in command OF a lawn mower,
following the master in single file and
in solemn procession, is well worth COM
ing miles to sec. Robsons library is
filled with rare old books, pictures,
worm-eaten letters and odd trinkets
which possess much interest to stage
students. y few OF these may be cnum-
Grated:
The rapier with which Quin, the aged
actor, accidentally killed Bowan, the
comedian, in 17l9.
4 letter from Macready to Elliston,
reproving him for his lack OF respect to
his friend Lord Brunton, in which he
says: II love lord and hate player"
A prompt copy OF merry Wives OF
Windsor" date lG25-possibly the very
book from which Shakespeare may have
instructed his Globe Theatre actors in
"the business" OF the play.
A letter from President Buchanan to
John L. Owens, in which he says: II
saw Edmund Kean frequently. 10 my
mind he did not compare iavorably with
Cooper; but as | was quite youngman
at the time, my Judgment may have
been at fault"
a letter IRON John Calvin-Bob In
gersolis friend-on the wickedness OF
stage plays. "Hcll is neither deep nor
hot enough for players" he says, "and
the man who would enter a playhouse
will be burned in fires everlasting"
