July Is. 1S97.-Life is a perfect
dream. How sweet to have little wo-
man whom you love and who loves you!
Oh, bliss, bliss! The love l.
July 16.-The whole world must
envy me- How sweet, how sweet! She
delights me every hour. This morning
She said something about her mother
coming to visit us some time. What a
little tease she is! Oh, peace, peace,
thou Ah.s
July l7.-say, that thing about her
mother coming is no joke. Let her
come. | will be respectable.
July 1S.-The old woman will be
here at 8. Oh, we'll, 1 shall treat her
well for Mary's sake
July l9.-She isn't so bad after all
Been acting very decently all day. The
motherinlaw joke
July 2O.-Have seen Mary but very
little today. Wonder what the deuce
the old lady talks about to her so much?
July 21.-Mrs. Smith must remember
that am 21 years old and know few
eAlHSo. IL sIc lIlHhS-
July 22.-I'd like to know whose
house this is. I'd like to know who is
boss. Mary, too, can be so confoundedly
contrary. If that old woman can't keep
her beak ont of my affairs, she can go
home. She's got to let me alone
July 23.-Oh. it's awful!
July 24.-I am going stark mad
How am going to get rid of the old
July 25.-I will kill her if it is the
last

Whoop-
July 29.-Ten falls! My life is one
continual round of wild pleasure.
July 30.-Sprained ankle! Whee!
July 31.-Able to mount. The pain
she feels gives me exquisite pleasure.
Aug. 1.-Mother-in-la law went out
alone this morning and was killed at
11:20 by a cable car. They brought her
homo all afternoon. How sad! How sad
to be cut down in the bloom of-in
maturity of old age. How we shall miss
her, particularly me. She took such an
interest in me. How often l used to
think about her when she was away
from us and hope she was happy in her
little home. All, me
Aug. 2.-Remains shipped today. l
had to stay at home with Mary. Ah-h-h!
Aug. 3.-Confound her old meddle-
some soul! Instead of taking her own
wheel that morning she had my brand

from a railroad wreck!-New York

back to the old place in the mountains
and see if l could do anything for the
girl who had been kind to me. No act
of mine ever pleased him more, and
when I left him it was with unlimited
credit authorized by one of the greatest
banking institutions of the west l did
not find the girl, but learned that she
had first been employed and then adopt
ed by widow whose husband had fallen
in the war. left money with a lawyer,
telling him to find the girl and have her
educated. A year later this money was
returned to me with notice that he could
do nothing for me. I wrote for further
information, but could get no reply.
''Before my benefactor died he told
me of the rich gold find he had worked
without sharing his secret with any
one. You know how it proved a verita-
BILE mine of wealth, built up thriving
city and won me the title of a bonanza
king. He also told me how heartless
woman had wrecked his life and asked
me to never abandon the search for the
little mountain girl until knew what
within my power to help her. You have
no idea how man and boy, thrown to-
gether as we were, could build ro-
nance upon a foundation so slender" "
81 think understand. And you have
found no trace?''
"None that I could follow. After
that fight when the strikers tried to de-
stroy the machinery at the mine my
wounds threw me into fever, and
through all the delirium talked in the
dialect of my boyhood with the little
maid [ had never seen but once. That
shows you the hold she bad upon me,
and even yet | have all ideal that must
either be shattered or confirmed before
l can be content. Now for your advice,
Should [ marry before 1 have seen this

old story.

Within month Trevor received a

Trevor shuddered. His romance had
died a cruel death. But gratitude was
his strong point. Reluctantly he went.
When at length he rode to the front of
the old cabin there was woman in a
linsey dress, her back to him, while
she threw food to the noisy chickens.
Just as he reached her side she turned

Too Often 1t Is Made the Repository of
the Filth of the Community.
How to do thing may not always be
easy to learn. How not to do some
things may most easily be learned by
any one who has ordinary gifts of obser,
vation-the making of public roads, for
example. The arts of Telford and Mac
adam may remain sealed volumes to
the multitude, says the New York Trib-
une. But on almost every mile of coun-
try and suburban road are written in
characters all men may read the most
impressive instructions how not to make
and see all that is done and then go
away and carefully avoid repeating it
and do anything else his ingenuity may
devise, his efforts would inevitably be
in the direction of Improvement
Here, for example, is an important
suburban village, enjoying every adj
vantage of soil and climate and general
situation and suffering from probably
the worst roads in the county. Its roads
are too narrow, scarcely more than mere
lanes. Yet they are encroached upon by
every manner of device until in many
places they are no wider than a single
wagon track. They are composed, of
course, of nothing better than native
earth, but also of much that is worse,
for they are made the catch all of every
sort of rubbish. On the main street of
the village, in front of handsome resi-
dences, you may find the roadway COW
cred with the refuse rakings of gardens,
the prunings of orchards and vineyards,
cast off boots and shoes, broken bottles
and empty tin cans aud decaying offal
that fills the air with stenches unspeak-
able. In some places for very shame a
sprinkling of fresh earth has been scat
tered over these denominations, but every
rain converts it into mud, through which
the offal and the rubbish are mixed and
mingled like plums in batter pud-
ding. Such is the roadway which hun
dreds must traverse daily.
And the villagers speak now and then
with bated breath of the dirty streets
and evil smells and bad air of the city,
when by their own deliberate making
their own chief thoroughfare is as foul
as an unfinished sewer. A road of simple
earth, unworked and uncared for, is bad
enough, but when it is, by the NAL
adroit ingenuity of slOvenly and selfish
men, made also rubbish heap and re-
pository for filth it affords an object
lesson of what should not be which the
world can scarcely elsewhere equal.

Natures Windows.

Nothing hitherto was ever stranded,
cast aside; ut all, We're it only with
cred leaf, orks together with all, is
borne forward on the bottomless, shore
less flood Of action and lives through
perpetual mutamorphoses. The withered
leaf is not dead and lost; there are forces
i'll it and around it, though working in
inverse order, else how could it rot
Despise not the rag from which man
makes paper or the litter from which
the earth makes corn. Rightly viewed,
no meanest object is insignificant; all
objects are as windows, through which
the philosophic eye looks into intinitude
itself. Thomas Carlyle.

African Blood Brotherhood,

The method of making blood brother
hood among the Gala and Somali has
its peculiarities. 1t is described by Will

Lokomagul, Oh behalf of his people,
and l, on behalf of my own, each seized
in our right hands a round stone. Upon
the stones we literally expectorated.
Each then passed his stone to his fol-
lowing, who did likewise. We then ex-
changed stones, and each, holding the
stone i'll his right hand, with his left
dug a small hole in the soil, meanwhile
uttering words of supposed magic i'm
port. In these holes we finally placed
the stones and covered them with sand.
We then Prasped hands and assured
each other that we were the best friends
possible.
