and Ethel was encouraged about him. With
his usual unselfshness he strove to bear his
burden as much in secret as might be, and
not let the weight of it fall too heavily on
others. He did not suspect how fully his kind
nurse and gentle comforter shared it with him.
Since Brooke had gone, there was vacancy
in her heart that nothing could fill; yet she
constrained herself to be always equable and
cheerful in manner, and none who witnessed
her TRANQUIL movements, and marked the un-

step would raise his head and gaze in wisttul
expectation toward the door, only to crouch
down again in disappointment at finding his
hopes unrealized. Poor fellow, he could not
understand the first deception ever practiced
on him by the master he loved and trusted so
thoroughly. He was the only recipient of
Ethel's secret-a secret until lately unconfess'
ed even to herself. She would fondle him and
stroke his shagy hair, and whisper to him,
when no one else was present, the confession
that made her cheeks burn and her lashes
droop with shame and selfcondemnation. For
she did not know that this hidden love of
hers, which had sprung up in her modest
breast, was ofall things the boon which Brooke
would most have priced and cherished, or that
the knowledge of it would have inexpressibly
cheered and consoled him on his lonely way.

and soothed his grief and lightened his heavy
burden, how happy and grateful I would have

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES on Wo-
MEN.-A woman, notwithstanding she
Is the best of fasteners, knows her busi-
ness, and it is a woman's business to
please. | don't say that it is not her
business to vote, but do say that the
woman who does not please is a false
note in the harmonies of nature. She
may not have youth, or beauty, or even
manner, but she must have something
IN her voice or expression, or both,
which it makes you feel better dispos-
ed toward your race to look at or lis
ten to. She knows that as we'll as we
do and her first question after you
have been talking your soul into her
consciousness is, Did Iplease? A wo-
man never forgets her sex. She would
rather talk with man than an angel,
any day. Womanly women are very
kindly critics, except to themselves,
and now and then to their own sex.
The less there is of sex about woman,
the more she is to be dreaded. But
take real woman at her best moment,
well dressed enough to be pleased with
herself, not so resplendent as to be a
show and q sensation, with the varied
outside influences that set vibrating
the harmonic notes of her nature stir
ring in the air about her-and what
has social life to compare with one of
those vital interchanges Of thought and
feeling with her that makes an hour
memorable? What can equal her tact,
her dellcacy, subtlety of apprehension,
ner quickness to feel the changes of
temperature as the warm and cool cur
rents of thought blow by turns: At
one moment she is microscopically in
tellectual, critical, scrupulous in judg-
ment as an analysts balance, and the
next as sympathetic as the open rose
that sweetens the wind from whatever
quarter it finds its way TO her bosom.
1t is in the hospitable soul of a woman
that a man forgets he is q stranger, and
50 becomes natural and truthful, at the
same time that he is mesmerized by
all those divine differences which make
her mystery and bewilderment.-

Steamship and Packet company met at the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday. Presi-
dent Burr made a most gratifying report OF
the affairs OF, the company. The line has
been in operation about eighteen months,
and the people of Richmond had become
conscious of the fact that it had afforded
them great advantages. AS an evidence Of
this fact he read comparative statement
OF rates of freights charged now on some OF
the principal articles shipped, and those
charged before the line went into
operation, showing an actual saving to
the merchants and people of Richmond Of
$125,000. The stock in the company has
besides paid handsome dividends to the
holders. Mr.. Burr gave satisfactory ac-
count of the progress made in the construc-
ton Of the new iron steamship at Rockets,
and it was resolved that the next meeting
of the stockholders be held on board the
new ship next month, on such day and at
such hour as the president and board of

spirit of Swift. The following is the
conclusion.


When nature first produced the fair,
'Mong other thins, it was her care
As fair the form in beauty grew
To shape the back both straight and

Except. indeed. when in whim,
Some uncouth dwarf or monster gain,
She fayors with a swelling sack,
Perched high i'll honor on her back
But in these DAYS Of wondrous light
Taste rises in her power and might,
And disappearing natures plan,
She forms a bag of wool or bran,
And where she thinks hump should


be.


Straight in that place, hump yonll


see;


The names with which the humps


abound


Are full Of sense OF well as sound
Nothing more dignifed, I'm sure,
Than Bishop, Bustle, or Tourneurl
And some sour, old-tashioned dame
Should tartly ask, What's in name!
Wed answer, That cannot answer
But, ANA, the thing is full OF bran.
Now listen to me, lady dear.
\ word I'd whisper in Your ear;
Why be SO partiel to one spot
Why hump one place and Others not;
If in the hump such beauty lies,
As true friend, I'd YOU advise
TO raise the hump on every place,
And then you'd be Al over grace.
Then. if we beauties wish 10 find,
We need not always look behind

OF INTEREST TO TRAVELLERS
There seems to be some probability OF
railroad companies prest ntly learning
that passengers have some rights
which they are bound to respect.
Quite recently twenty-three men,
among them = leading lawyer, found
thems elves on board an outward


bound New York train, where all the
seats were taken. Under the lawyers
advice they peremptorily refused to
give up their tickets or pay their
fares until seats had been furnished
them, which, after considerable trouble
and delay, was done. 1t would be
well for passengers to bear in mind
that The courts will hold them justi-
fed in declining to pay railroad fare
until proper accommodations are pro-
vided. for them. Another question,
of considerable interest to the travel
ing public, has lust been decided by


the courts in favor of passenger
namely, that a ticket sold for given


distance on any line, is good for that
distance for at least six years. The
railroad company sell tickets stamped
with the date of sale, and good for
this day only" The courts hold that
these tickets are good for any day,
with the exception of excursion
tickets, which are sold at reduced
rates, and are in the nature of a
special contract. So, too, it has been
jUdicially decided that a ticket issued
from one givep point to another is
good eli her way. All that is needed
to induce railroad companies 10 pay
proper attention to the comfort and
of the travelling public,
Ia for the passengers themselves to
insist eivilly but inflexibly upon
their rights on all occasions.

As missionary Rev. Joseph Bad
ger preached here as early as 1904,


but it was some years afterward that
on a Sunday morning at the opening
of the service, he told US his expert
ence of the night before. He said /:
"I had started to come through from
Ashtabula, but as there was no path


1 came on but slowly, and could not
tell the distance had come, or how
far I was from any house, when
darkness overlook me. 1 was be-
nighted. AS 1 could make no head
way through pathless woods, tied


my horse so that it could feed about
some end then I lay down on the
ground to rest. Before long 1 was
startled by the howl of a wolf. This
cry was taken up by score of others
and soon il seemed that a hundred
wolves were ravening for their prey.
I quickly rose, tied my horse then
closely and firmly to tree, and feel
ing about in the dark found limb
which I cut for a cudgel, and pre-
pared for hand to hand conflict with
the enemy. The wolves swept around
till they formed a circle about me. 1
took up my beat around my horse
The wolves narrowed their circle till
they came so near / could hear the
swapping Of their jars. I walked
constantly around my horse, beating
against the trees with my stick, and
shouting all through the long night.
My trembling horse, trusting in my
protection, did not struggle TO get
sway. In the first gray light of the
morning the wolves began slowly to
creep away, and their cries grew
faint and more faint In the distance
till / found they had at last left me.
Soon as could see mounted again
and pushed on through the deep
shade of the woods. Blessing God
for preserving ME amid this, as
through countless other dangers and
perils, suddenly L was again startled
by the barking of wolves. There was
little chance for fastening amid BUSH
es and briars and limbs of trees; they
were coming quite near and their
bowling rent the air, when suddenly
there was a crashing through the
bushes behind me, and like flash of
light a fine, full grown deer Ieaped
out, bubbles of white foam falling
down from his mouth, and painting
for breath he thrust his head along |
side my faithful horse, and so it came |
