NY WOODLAND PATH.

How we'll know my woodland path.
Its greetings and its aftermath,
Its windings and it's vistas dim,
That stretch beyond the forests rim;
It's fragrance in the wild rose tine,
Its mingled scent of fern and thyme,
Ihat rise like Incense where I tread,
At purple dawn or sunset red.
! know its leafy coverts where
The brown thrush and the cat-birds are;
And where in spring with JOY are heard
The first notes of the hooking bird,
And all the blithe bards of the wood,
IN roundle, rune and interlude.
l know where emerald MOSES edge
It's ribboned course through briar and
sedge;
Where partridge berries shine between
The clustered leaves Of the wintergreen;
And where the morning sun breaks
through
The cedar boughs to drink the dew.
AND there at noon, on languid wing,
Inc Wanton breeze goes wandering.
l know its cradle hollows deep,
where winter long the violets sleep,
Quiescent till the gales Of spring
Blow off their leafy covering
I know its restful shady spots.
Its turnings where it runs cross lots,
Meath fringe of wild flowers in the
hedge
SO well know its time-worn mark,
My feet will trace it in the dark;
And, from its source to where it ends,
l love 1T as 1 love my friends

ORIGIN OF BEAN FEAST.
1t II Explained by an Old English
man-HOvv u Workman COmmem-
Grated u WOOdman's Charity.

Why is a feast without beans called
bean feast? An old resident at
Woodford explained it to me the
other day, writes correspondent to
the London Leader. Years ago a
workman lost his way in a part of
Epping Forest. After wandering
about for some considerable time, he
at length heard the sound of a wood
mans AK, and directing his footsteps
towards the noise came across a
woodcutter in the act of delivering
Il final blow to a tree. Fair lOp,"
calculated the woodman, as the tree
fell, then turning to the workman,
asked what he required. The man
told him that he had lost his way in
the forest and was hungry and tired.
''Sit down friend,' said the woodman,
land share my meal" at the same
time bringing out some beans and
bacon. Not long after the workman
was fortunate enough to become a
master blockmaker, and to commem-
crate the charity of the woodman he
used to take the workmen once a
year to the Fair Lop Tree and give
them a feast of beans and bacon. The
beans have been dropped, but the
feasts still remain,

BOW NAPOLEON WAS SPANKED
Story of How the Famous French
man Was Punished by His
Mother.

Just as man is no hero to his
valet, so he is likely not to be hero
to his mother, or rather not the sort
of hero that the world knows, but a
hero quite of her own conception. AS
boys, the great men who are to be
get about the same treatment as the
lesser favorites of fortune. When
Napoleon was in exile at Elba he told
a story of how his mother spanked
him, relates the Youths Companion.
Ore day his mothers mother was hob
bling along the street in Ajaccio, and
Napoleon and his sister, Pauline, fol-
lowed the old lady and mimicked her.
Their grandm other turned and caught
them in the act.
She complained to Madame Letitia
Bonaparte. Pauline was at once
spanked and disposed of. Napo-
leon, who was out in his regimentals,
could not be handled, for uniform is
as sacred as the flag.
His mother bided her time.
The next day, when her son was
off his guard, she cried, "Quick, Ma
poleon! You are invited to dine with
the governor"
He ran up to his room to change
his clothes. She quietly followed, and
when she judged that the proper time
had come, rushed into the room,
siezed her undressed hero before he
guessed her purpose, laid him across
the maternal knee. and belabOred him
earnestly with the fiat Of her hand.

WHEN THE HERRING RUN.
Yarmouth, che Center of the Indus
try, Receives 5O,OOO,OOO Fish in
a Days Catch.

One of the most interesting seaports
of England is Yarmouth, perhaps the
chief fishing town of the kingdom, and
certainly the great herring center. On
November II the high water mark for
arrivals was registered, when 5o,000,-
900 of these fishes were landed on the
wharves of the port. This one day S
catch sold for $125 1000, SO it can be seen
that the fisher folk have an abundance
of shillings-at least, in the fishing sea-
son. On this day the fleet spread for
three miles along the harbor, says the
Philadelphia Press.
It is said that the herring season this
year has never been equaled. Certain
it il that the twin towns of Yarmouth
ard Lowestoft present busy and ami
mated scene. The port at this time is
as much Scotch as English, for scores
of the boats come from north OF the
Tweed. The streets are full OF broad
shoulderd, ruddy-faced girls who ap-
peared with the fleet. They are not
the least of the picturesque sights, as,
stripped of superduous clothing, bare
headed and bare-armed, they dress and
cure the fish.
These girls are mostly Scotch, and
have a peculiar dialect of the Tweed
fisher folk. They are CHEEKY and sing
at their work, and are always ready for
fun when work is over. They are the
heroines or the objects of many stories
that never get into print. There are
probably 5000 of these lassies in town,
and they are experts, for they follow
the feet in it's migratory quest Like
gulls follow school of fish.
When the fleet looms up in the har-
Dor the girls repair to the warehouses
and get ready for work. The girls
work in crews of three, two quitting
the fish with small knife, which they
use with wonderful deftness, and the
third packing the fish in barrels of
salt. These girls receive their railway
fares and guarantee of $3.50 week,
and a bonus of IL cents for every bar
rel filled.
The work is hard, and when once
the fish are in hand it has to be car
ried on to finish, however late the
hour, for the herring is a very perish
able article, and any delay in the proc
ess of cutting and sailing would be
ruinous. The girls often cut their
hands badly, and the salt with which
they have to work makes the wounds
exceedingly painful. But a brighter,
healthier set of workers will not cas-
lily be found anywhere than in these
curing yards, where they may be heard
singing to one another, and where even
in their spare time they are not idle,
for you never see a fisher girl with
out her knitting needles.
Herrings are cured in several other
ways, the work in most cases being
done by women. A kipper, than which
there are few greater delicacies. is

"You are the one to look out for
what YOU saw" repl:ed Uncle Fuiano.

"You are the one to look out for
what you say" replied Uncle Fuiano,
having recovered his composure. III
you do not prove your denuRciation,
and you can't prove it, | SHAH send
you to Jail as a slanderer! These
| pumpkins were mine, for l raised
them in my garden of Egiddo, and
| no one can prove otherwise!"
Snow you shall see!" said Uncle
Buscobeatas, untyiag the handker-
chief and tossing it's contents to the
ground.
Scattered about the ground they
beheld a multitude of fragments of
pumpkin vines, still green and drip
ping with sap; the old gardener, seat
ed upon his heels and shaking with
laughter, addressed the councillor and
the crowd as follows:
Gentlemen, have you ever paid
taxes? And have you ever seen that
big green book which the tax-col-
lector carries, from which he cuts of
receipts, leaving there stub by
means of which he can tell whether
such and such a receipt is false?'
"You are speaking about what is
called a stub-book," gravely observed
the councillor.
''That is precisely what have here
the stub-book Of my garden; that
is, the ends to which these pumpkins
were joined before I was robbed of
them. Now, if you don't believe it,
look! This stub belongs to that
pumpkin yonder; no one can deny it.
This one belongs to that pumpkin;
this to that one. Exactly! Now, this
belongs over here"
While speaking, he had been fitting
q peduncle, or stub, into the excava-
ton of each pumpkin, and the specta-
tors saw with establishment that the
irregular bases of the stubs fitted
exactly into the whitish cavity Of the
pumpkins.
The bystanders all squatted down,
including the policeman and the coun-
cilor himself, and assisted Uncle Bus
cobeatas in his singular verifcation,
calling out to each other in boyish
Joy, 'There's no doubt about it!
See? This one goes here! No, that
belongs to this one!''
Their bursts of laughter and the
shouts of the grandees mingled with
the whistling of the small boys and
the imprecations Of the women and
the tears of the old gardener. The
policemen were already impatient to
take the convicted thief to Jail.
1t is unnecessary to state that they
had this pleasure; that Uncle
Fulano saw himself obliged then and
there to return to the retailer the
SIS he had collected from him; that
the retailer delivered the sum over to
Uncle Buscobeatas, and that the lat
ter returned to Rota supremely hap
