BELLOWS FALLS TIMES, AUGUST %, 1894.

He turned the same blank gaze upon
her, then once more with an impatient
gesture disengaged his arm from her
clinging hands and moved away.
he doan't know ee missis," the old
pauper repeated persuasively, as if it
would her good to be sure of the fact.
Her face became distorted as with
acute physical pain, she raised her
clasped hands high above her head and
dropped down on her knees, cursing
-cursing those who were responsible,
then sank a huddled heap, all in the
dust.
The rectory grounds abutted on the
road at this point and the genial rector
who was out with his wife enjoying the
Sabbath calm and the fresh air after an
ample meal between the services, came
up to the low hedge and looked over,
Just as this scandalous scene occurred.
they had begun by discussing their
daughters diamonds, given to her on
her marriage, which naturally brought
them to consider how very much they
had to be thankful for, especially in
that they had been SO long spared to
each other, drifting on imperceptibly in
perfect companionship into an old age
solaced by the happiest memories.
This was what they were speaking of
when they were startled and shocked
by the coarse cursing of the pauper wO-
man.
"How very unseemly!" the rector eX-
claimed. ~ must inquire into this.

Bricks Made of Cast Iron.
+ From The St. Louis Globe Democrat.

"While 1 was in Germany last year, !"
said w. l.. Burgess of New Haven, ~
came across several walls surrounding
some of the public institutions that
were constructed out of cast-iron bricks.
These bricks certainly have made adj
vantages over the old fashioned clay
bricks, though they may not prove to be
superior in all respects. In form and
size these bricks resemble our ordinary
bricks, but they are composed of cast
iron and hollow. The shell is so thin
that the brick weighs less than one
made of clay. A wall is built of such
material without the use of mortar,
and no skilled labor is required in lay
ing them. The upper and lower sides
of the bricks are provided with grooves
and projecting ribs, which fit into each
other easily and perfectly and form a
wall of great strength. There are also
two large circular openings in the up
per side of each brick, arranged SO as to
receive projections on the lower side of
the brick that is to be placed above it.
One of the projections is hOOk-shaped,
which secures a solid hold. A wall of
these bricks is put together very quick
ly. After the wall is built it is covered
with paint. This closes all the cracks,
rendering the wall alright, and pre-
vents the bricks from rusting. The
bricks are very durable and building
constructed of them would be practical
ly fire proof"

Wounded and Weary Wilson, from

Where There are No odors.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.]

"In that country once known as the
Great American Desert embracing a
portion of Texas and Arizona, there are
no odors, said II. p. Senter, of Dallas.
"There luscious grapes and many other
fruits grow, especially near the cross
timber country, but there's no perfume;
wild flowers have no smell, and car
cases of dead animals, which in dry
seasons are very plentiful, emit no
odors. 1t was always supposed to be a
treeless plain, upon which no plant
could grow or breathing thing could
live, but large part of it is now sue
cessfully cultivated, and but for the
rarity of the atmosphere, causing the
popularity | have named, and the
mirages, which are even more perfect
than in the Desert of Sahara, no one
would look upon it as barren country
now. Another singular feature COM
mon to the desert land is that objects
at distance appear greatly magnified.
A few scraggy mesquite bushes will
look like noble forest ;stakes driven
into the ground will seem like tele-
graph poles"

LOVE IN MASQUERADE.
Edgar Fawcett in The Century. ]

Edgar Fawcett in The Century.l
l dreamed that love came knocking
At your door one winter night
While the specter trees were rocking
In blast of savage blight,
sob, perish!' poor Love pleaded;
"Ope the door, for loves dear sake"
But although you heard and needed,
Still no answer would you make!
Not one word of sweet replying
Would your naughty lips have said,
Even If love had lain there dying.
Even If Love had lain there dead!
Then dreamed that Love o'er-ruled you !;
For in tenderest voice he cried,
"Nay, dear lady, sadly fooled you,
Since l am not Love. but PRIDE"
And you straightway oped your portals,
With merry and welcome nod,
To that widest of immortals,
To that masquerading god.
All, you oped your portals lightly,
Not for Loves, but Pride's dear sake;
Yet, q lady, If l dreamed rightly,
Love soon taught you your mistake!
