From Cloud to Ocean.

20 dear, I'm Just discouraged ~

gloomy as she threw herself into a
chair

Why, / can't get but Just a few
pennies for the mission-boX. THEY'LL
not count any, and I don't know
how to earn any more. It rains,
and I don't know what to do.
"4ou are having a dull time.

When Bessie was comfortably
settled in her fathers lap, he began
cone day some little clouds were
getting tired of simply looking
pretty, and, as friendly wind came
along to help them, they joined
other clouds and came to the earth
as rain-drops. This company of
rain-drops fell in a wood, where the
ferns nodded their thanks for the
refreshing drink. Down through
the moss they sank, till it became
dark, and the rain-drops thought
their journey was ended.
"But by and by more rain-drops

The brook which busily rippled over

tiny roots, so all the green things

Cows came TO drink, birds to battle,

little ships ON its waters. This brook

and by the rain-drops reached a
deep, silently-Aowing river Towns
were built ON its banks and big
boats took the place of The little
ones. The rain-drops were sadly
frightened when they reached the
first rushing, laundering waterfall.
But they soon learned to enjoy the
swift journey over the rocks, and
gladly helped turn the big mill
wheels

Sabine soldiers; wouldn't she like
to have one just to feel its soft
touch
The Dukes eye caught the still
waving-banner, and with a power he
reined his steed in, and cried, "Who
Will tear down that hated emblem
of Austrian power, that painted
falsehood?"
The men glanced at the lettering
belfry and none answered, but each
thought, and l think it was a sem
sible thought, zone good cannon
shot would snap that flagstaff. and
it would be fool-hardy to risk a
mans life in that way" As the
silence grew oppressive, Bettina, with
flaming cheeks, stood before the
captain and stammered the request
that she might be permitted to try.
He said, "You, you have come to
teach these veterans bravery, have
you? And what shall your reward
be?"
Bettina's eyes glistened. "Those
feathers on your casque," and shot
off into the church, up the stairs,
out on the leads to the narrow dor
mer ledge, which almost trembled
even under her light step.
She grasped the staff and pulled
the cord, till the folds of the flag
hung at her hand.
Her scissors, which in her braid
ing must always be at her side, are
quickly used, and down dropped the
banner on the square; but there is
no cheer, for every soldier holds his
breath till the brave maiden herself
has safely clambered down. But
then the shouts were loud and long.
and the Duke himself bound the
plumes on her curly head, and, al
most before she knew it, had lifted
her on a horse, and made her ride
through the town by his side.
Yet all this glory was not to Bet
tina the best part; her home-spun
apron was filed with gold crowns
(their money!, and her prayer was
thus answered; for she was able to
do even more than she had asked.
The famous physician heard her
story, and would not take a cent
from such patriotic little maiden.
So she had money enough to buy
back THEN old mountain home, and
gather together their family; the
mother with her eyes healed and
PietrO with his limbs Strengthened.
And when Bettina tells the story
to listening children, she always
ends with tEese words: "You see
the good priest said true He who
gets nearest God and heaven will
get his prayers answered earliest,
but it is the trusting heart of a lit
tie child that always gets the near

down from the sky sometime, and
we call them snow-fakes?"
Il think so, answered her father.
81 guess my pennies will do a
little good, and perhaps a great

said Bessie.

girl went out for a run in the fresh

The great storehouse of the worlds
water is the ocean,, which covers four
fifths of the globes surface. In some
places the ocean has never been sound
ed, even by a line more than five miles
in length. 1t is supposed these great
depths are without plants, because all
plants require some light and though
light is said TO penetrate sea water
farther than fresh, yet we can scarcely
imagine there is a ray of light at the
depth of five miles. Some of the sea
plants have stems at least 300 feet il
length. In some parts Of the sea we
are told that the eye can discern the
bottom at four or five hundred feet.
1t is a very pretty sight TO look down
and view a forest beneath the waves.
1t is sometimes a blaze of gold, scarlet
and green. In one part Of the Atlantic
is a space which the Spaniards call the
Sargasso sea, because its surface is COW
cred there for miles and miles with a
great mass Of seaweed, which Columbus
spoke Of as floating meadows. -

MOB HILLS USELESS PALACES.


Five Enormors Buildings Intended for
Private Residences, but Uuht.
4 morning contemporary announces
as a matter of news that Mrs. Hopkins
Searles offers her residence on Califor-
mia street for sale. 1t might have add
ed, as a companion item, that the Pill
grim Fathers had landed on Plymouth
Rock. There has been no time for
many years that the Hopkins mansion
on California street has not been for
sale, though, if public umo be be
lieved, the owner has not been distract
ed by many offers TO purchase. 1t is,
in fact, difficult TO conceive who could
want to become its possessor at any
price.
The spectacle Of Mob Hill, with pala-
tial piles browning its ridge, fills the
stranger who visits California with mild
amazement. There are five big build
ings there which were built as private
residences, and are as unfit for that use
as could be conceived. They were ap-
parently modelled on the plan of the
palaces of the Old World, which were
erected TO be the homes of feudal
barons and all their retainers. In the
middle ages every nobleman supported
a swarm of dependents. He had 10
find quarters for them, and of course
his lodgings had TO be large. In our
day rich men do not maintain much
larger households than their neighbors.
Individually they cannot occupy
more than a dozen rooms. and as many
will lodge all the servants they can en-
ploy. More rooms than this are of no
possible use. Conceived in ostentation,
their destiny is TO become lumber clos
cts. In the old feudal castles of Europe
the modern possessor is lost; it gives
him a nightmare to wander through a
maze of rooms which are never occu-
pied save by mice and spiders, and he
fees 10 take refuge in a bedroom and
parlor at club or hotel. 1t must be
much the same in the mansions of Mob
Hill.
If they have any destiny it must be
TO become some day public buildings
museums OF hospitals. Even for that
use they would have to be donated by
their owners, for the city could build
suitable ediices for less money than
they would cost if they were bought,
1t seems odd that men with the sa-
-acity required TO build a t|ransconti-
mental railroad and TO acquire vast
fortunes should not have understood
that a house that is too big may be as
inconvenient as a house that is too
small. \ very small quantity of shell
ter is all hat the richest and greatest
of US can want. \ bedroom, a dress
ing room, a reception room, a parlor, a
dining room, a library, and perhaps a
billiard room-what more than this can
CrRsus occupy, though he counts his
riches by the hundreds of millions.
Yet rich men 60 on piling stone upon
stone and bricks upon mortar until
they have exchanged what might have
been a snug home for a barrack; and
in the doing Of it they generate a mass
of envy and grudging which follows
them to their grave.-San Francisco
Call.

Years ago, said a news editor, Il
used 10 have on my list a correspondent
at Valparaiso. He would send reports
Of church socials by wire, and We
couldn't shut him of. One day a store
down in his place burned. The loss
proved to be about s., 900. He began
sending bulletins as soo as the fire
broke out, and kept it up every ten
minutes till the last spark of the con
~fiagration was out. We tried to choke
him of, but he couldn't be suppressed.
There are two persons on earth whom

am feeling real well and strong. They
are that correspondent and the mar

WITH few throes and very little
labor the Peorle's Party of the United
States was born at Cincinnati on We'd
nesday last. Whit among the i'm
mense throng of d,l-gstee who were
assembled in the convention, there
were many VINO dOub'ed the advisa-
bility of formin Z n third party, those
who favored the move were strong
enough to carry il through without
any show of opposition, and the in
FAINT was born. The fact that Igna-
titus Donnelly was chief among the
dccuchuers and figures as n Of the
good fathers Of the baby, will not tend
to give the pew party strength with
those who know the gentleman.
Though Of undoubtsd sbi'ity and pos
sessing an intellect far above the COM
mou, Mr.. Donnelly i sn ! always was
a politician for revenu only. Ever
since be fl unced out Of The republican
party Of Minnesota in the late sixties,
he has pertistently and ~assidulOusiy
bestrode every tissue OF crank move
ment that came up, i the hope thatit
would carry him baC6 into public life
again. OF late year, aided by the al
lance movement b. has been partially
successful, but he las not per United
that success to reflect any glory pm
aught save Ignatius DOnnelly. Tho
posing now as a man OF the people, a
more pronounced autccrat than he
never lived, and should the peoples
party elevate him into power, as Is not
improbable, this will be painfully APP
parent. The platform of the lew
party il, to tell the truth, a fiat-footed
one. No figures OF speech OF airy
hyperbole are INDUCED in. The de
msnds of 'the people" are made per-
fectly plain. National banks are TO be
knocked out, and the government
printing presses set 20 grinding out fiat
money which when demanded by I he
people, shall be loaned to them at a
nominal two per cent interest, on such
property s they may have to offer.
Free coinage Of silver is demanded,
alien ownership of lands prohibited,
railroad grants of land are to be re-
claimed by the government, an in
come tax enforced, and the electoral
college abolished. A universal suffrage
plank aid a prohibition plank that
were no made a part Of the platform
but submitted separately, were each
defeated overwhelmingly and with
much de%rision, which was scarcely TO
be expected from a truly reform party.
A banner which hung on the wall and
was repeatedly referred to with much
elOquence bore the legend, Mine
Million Mortgaged Homes" Should
the party succeed IN carrying out its
financial policy it is safe to say that
the number will be treb,ed, with the
national treasury turned into a loan
office exscting only a nominal rate Of
interes', and nominal security, The
peoples party evidently has Lot come
to stay.

Many persons will recall the famous
paradox of Zeno, by which he sought
to prove that all motion is impossible.
"a body" he argued, must move
either in a place where it is or in a
place where it is not. Now, a body in
the place where it is is stationary and
cannot be in motion, nor, obviously,
can it be in motion in the place where
it is not. Therefore it cannot move at
all"
Bodies do move, however, and that
is a sufficient answer to the ingenious
philosopher.-New York Tribune.
