THE VALLEY OF SILENCE. Out far on the deep there are billows That never shall break on the beach, And I have heard songs in the silence. That never shall float Into speech, And I have had dreams In the Valley Too lofty for language to reach. And I have seen thoughts in the Val ley Ah, me! how my spirit was stirred They wear holy veils on their faces, Their footsteps can scarcely be heard; They pass down the Valley like vir gins Too pure for the touch of a word. Do you ask me the place of this Val ley, To hearts that are harrowed with care? It lieth afar between mountains, And God and His angels are there; And one is the dark mount of Sorrow, And one the bright mountain of Prayer. Father Ryan. LOBEIR'HUKTER. 0 2S iJLJ.2s. JLJkTk Long years ago when the fairies still used their power there lived a young man named Lohier. lie was good looking and not without wit, but the poor fellow had one misfor tune. He never succeeded when he went out hunting and yet he obsti nately persisted in hunting all the same. What a rare thing among com- ; mon people at that time, Lohier had a j pretty home of his own the gift of a generous lord whose life he had saved, i It was made up ox a cottage oesiue a little pool of tish. a few acres of land, and a moor, where doubtless, there was plentv of game under the broom and the briars. The moorland was the torment of the poor man's life. It was in vain that he set out at the break of day, his rifle on his arm, and his dog, Pataud, at his heels, to beat the bushes until evening. Rabbits and hares slipped away betweeen his feet, while the partridges and the lit tle birds flew up before him without hurrying as if they knew his ill luck. There is no need to say that the peo ple of the of the village laughed loud ly when they met Lohier with his emrty game sack and Pataud lowering his ears. Rut when he came home the unfortunate hunter had the same re ception. His wif?, Paulette, over whelmed him with reproaches. Usually Lohier bore it with good grace and was only bent the more on going hunting. However, one evening he came back in a bad humor, after having spent In vain his whole provision of pow der. He found at the cottage his j cousin William, who was waiting for him with all his mates to ask him to his wedding. After the first compli ments, Paulette brought out a jug of cider which put every one in a good tumor. "See here, William," cried Lohier, while they were drinking each other's healths. "What present do you wish me to make you for your marriage?" His cousin ansvered, jokingly: "Oh, I'm not hard to please. Just bring me a few fine pieces of game for the wedding breakfast. That will be easy for a hunter like you. This displeased Lohier, who became i quite angry as ue saw iue uuier smu- . ing. So, striking the table a heavy I Mow with tis fist, he said: "Don't you ! believe that if I wished to take the Trouoie i snoum ue a& gwu iiuuiei x any of you?' "Prove it then," answered tha young men. who were much amused at his anger. "That's easy enough," retorted the imprudent Lohier carried away by self love. If after two days 1 do not , bring you six rabbits ard twelve par- j tridges shot with my own hand, I will' give you my house and property, without any conditions." ! "Agreed!" they all cried. And the , young men came, one after another, ; to take the open hand of Iiohier as a j sign of the agreement. Then they all j went away. j Paulette laughed no longer. And the as William and his companions had ; disappeared she filled the house with : her lamentations rxd ove-whelraed her husband with her reproaches. ; "Do you wish to have us ruined?" he said, weeping. "After two days we shall be Iwggars without a roof to our heads, for you ar too clumsy to win this wretched bet. Lohier answered, sharply, though at heart he trembled, asking himself how he should get out of this evil ; plight. With the morning he set forth, ac- unnamed by his faithful Fataud. ; who 1 nlainlv in the laUm -e of wno said piainiy in ine iauuae ui dogs, "Here we go again to miss our "fiie" j The first day's results showed that the wise Pataud was right. Not an animal with fur or feathers liad been touched by the shots Oj! Lohier. He did rot dare ,ro back to the house, where nothing awaited him but the complaints and reproaches of Pau lette. "Mv poor comrade," he said to his dog, as he shared with him the re- mainder of his bread, I think we shall have to get used to poverty. To-morrow I shall certainly have lost the prosperity which I risked so foolish ly." When he had finished his frugal meal, the fresh water spring bubbling op from a gray rock allowed, him to refresh himself. Then he stretched himself out sadly on the briars, where sleep did not delay finding him. It was near midnight when the hun ter awakened with a start. He was stupefied at the sight before him. In the midst of deep darkness, for the moon did not shine that night, the gray rock had grown luminous, while the water of the spring, sometimes blue and sometimes rose color, seemed to sparkle with sapphires and rubies. Lohier remembered that the old men of the country called this "the fairies' rock," because, they said, those mys terious beings held council these. An idea suddenly entered his mind, and he cried out with a loud voice: "Fairy of the briars, have pity on a wretched man! Help me to kill to morrow the six hares and the twelve partridges which will permit me to keep my home." It seemed to him that a voice of crystal mingling with the murmur of the spring, and repeated softly: "Six hares and twelve partridges?" "Yes, yes; nothing but that," he an swered. "I shall own you more than life itself!" A beautiful flame, brilliant as a dia mond, escaped from the summit of the rock, which became dark and gray once more. "It is the fairy who has gone away," thought Lohier, full of hope, and he turned over and slept again. The next day when the sun had arisen, he was afraid he had simply dreamed. But scarcely had he loaded his rifle to. begin the hunt when from every point of the moorland there came toward him in crowds rabbits, partridges, pheasants, quail and snipe. Soon the little open space, In the midst of which the gray rock rose, was so filled that Lohier had scarcely room to stand. Crazy with joy, he began firing into this crowd of animals. Every one of his shots brought down five or six pieces of game. But Lohier, who had never seen such luck, shot without tiring himself until Pataud was the only living being near him. He left the brave dog to guard his treasure and ran home out of breath. "We are saved !" he cried to Taulette. "Give me our donkey, with our big gest panniers." The morning was hardly long enough for him to carry away his booty, al though the poor donkey went back and forth each time with a heavier load. When William and his friends came into the yard, Lohier was finishing the unloading of the last pannier. At the sight of this great heap of game, the mischievous smiles which had been on ; their lips changed to open-mouthed as j tonishment. They stood there, their arms hanging down, looking at eacn other, and not knowing what to say. Lohier, beside himself with joy, rub bed his hands and laughed with all his heart. He felt himself happier than a king, when his friends, recovering from their astonishment, gave him their wannest compliments. The hares were so fine! partridges so fat! The pheasants and small game in such state! They all began feeling of the game with their hands. Oh. what a surprise! The little dwellers of the moorland all jumped to their feet at once. The hares began to run, the partridges and the other birds to fly in every direction and in such confussion that the witnesses of the scene knew not what had become of them. At last the game had all dis appeared, and' the voice of crystal, which Lohier had already heard, pro nounced these words: "Friend Lohier, remember that by the gray rock you asked me only for six hares and twelve partridges. You have killed without mercy all these poor guests of my moorland. I gave them back their life and leave you a counsel you must not abuse your op portunities." A light, rosy cloud, fol- lowed by a bright flame, showed the departure of the fairy. It was now the turn of William and his companions to laugh long and loud. But finally, seeing the pitiful air of poor Lohier, Will came forward with outstretched hand. "Cousin." he said, "we give you back your word. Our bet was only a joke. None of us would take his property away from a brave fellow like you. But let me add counsel to the one you have already received: You must never promise to do what is above your strength." "Thanks, William, to yourself and rrt nii of vn mv f r5nnri; anrnmi Lohier. "I have been imnrudent and a vain man. I shall probably be all my life long the clumsiest hunter of the countrv. But I now k now a way : of getting good from it. From to-day ! you may hunt freely on my ground. I j shall be as pleased with your luck as if it were my own." i Strange to say, from the day when ! Lohier showed himself so generous and simple in acknowledging where ! he was wrong, he had good luck In : hunting. He seldom went through the moorland in the company of his ( friends without bringing back a well filled gamebag. Philadelphia Tress. The Marriage of a. BorKhroe. The marriage of Don Scipio Borg hese, second son of Prince Borghese, with the only daughter of the late Duke Ferrari excited much interest In Rome, where the historic name and social position of the bridegroom's family, joined to their recent reverses of fortune, invested the event with much Interest. The wedding took place at one of the residences of the bride's mother near Genoa, but Rome took a certain part in the fete, for at ! a flower show which wras held in the deng of the vUa Bornese a ... . rtition was ot P- with Prizes of 200 f n . m ipor minis for the best francs aua es7r l arrangement of flowers for a bride, and the winning bouquet, etc., was forwarded to the young duchessina. Among the wedding gifts offered to the bride by the Borghese family are a gold ring, set with a splendid em erald, which formerly lxelonged to Pope Paul V. (Borghese), and a ring set with rubies, exquisitely chiselled bv no less a hand than that of Ben- venuto Cellini. Letter from Rome in London Queen. A Complete Sequence. "You sit on your horse like a butch er," said a pert young officer, who happened to be of royal blood, to a veteran general, who was somewhat bent from age. "It is highly probable," responded the old warrior, with a grim smile; "it is because all my life I've been lead ing calves to the slaughter." House hold words. Too Hneh Reform.

Ills Closing Words In the Great Debate Will Pass Into History to Be Classed Even with Those of Patrick Ilenrr of Revolutionary Fame. I am about to close this debate. I want, in the words that I shall utter, to extend an encouraging message to the distressed people of the United States. I want to say to them that relief is coming, to pick up courage, and to those who are suffering until their hopes are crushed and who con template abandonment of all hope in their business, I say do not do so. Hope, comfort, and relief are coming. Man hood in this country is again going to be revived. We are going to force this country by the shere influence of in telligence to cease its worship of prop erty and money as of greater value than humanity. (Applause.) Some Scottish troops were once sur rounded by the enemy, and after con stant fighting, with provisions cut off the Scottish soldiers were dying of hunger. They were still brave, and could repel the enemy, but the wast ing away of life from starvation brought them to the consideration of the question of surrendering. They had waited In vain for reinforcements. When about to send forth the flag of truce to announce that fact, after wait ing many days and weeks for reinforce ments to relieve them, the soldier who started with the message had but mounted the parapets when he heard in the distance the Scotch bagpipes of the Scottish soldiers playing "The Campbells are Coming." There was no surrender and there was victory. Let me say to the people of the United States that if you will but listen, you will hear the music upon the air, "The Campbells are Coming" the spirits of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln are coming. (Ap plause.) The same oppression that exists in this country by the fraudulent money measurement that is confiscating your property, exists throughout the world. It first entrenches itself in the power of the officers who obey its com mands. As your property falls in value the salaries of these officers are in creased. Where 17,000 bushels of wheat would have paid the president's salary of $25,000 in 1873, it will take 80,000 bushels to pay the salary of Mr. Cleve land of $50,000 now. With the encouragement of the money power comes increased salaries and official corruption; hence official despotism. To-day liberty Is appealing to us from all over the wrold. Cuba is to day striking for liberty against the op pressor, Spain. I have stood in the harbor of Havana and looked upon that old fortress at its mouth and had told mo by a citizen of Havana that beneath its walls underground were subter ranean channels, passages, and cells; that citizens of Cuba for political crimes only, had been in these cells for years, and had never seen daylight. It is to liberate those people, it is to end their oppression that comes with your money power, that the liberty loving people of Cuba are to-day strik ing for liberty. There is a rising in this country with your money power, a tendency to in trench and protect oppression the world over where it gets the oppor tunity. The president of the United States, the willing implement of the money power and tyranny and oppression, has given every assistance to Spain, has sent our war vessels to guard the coast of Cuba, the Spaniards living in Florida, from going to their succor. We are fighting the battle of liberty for the world. (Applause.) The result of your verdict upon this momentous question will be world-wide. It will convey words of cheer and stimulate the nerves of free men in every land. Never was civilization so dependent upon the action of any one people in the world as it is to-day upon the peo ple of the United States. The money power has crushed human liberty the world over. Civi lization arose on the Tigris and the Euphrates. At its birth the selfish in fluence through the money power that arrogated to the few the property of the country drove the people seeking liberty away, and they crossed the Mediterranean into Greece and Rome. In turn the same selfish interest there absorbed the property of the peo ple and sent freedom to modern Eu rope. Again pursued by the same sel fish spirit, those freemen of Europe fled across the Atlantic to America. There Is no other place you can go. The islands of the Pacific ocean will not sustain the population. We stand to day with our backs to the Pacific ocean and our faces to that enemy that has eaten out civilization in all countries to-day. The tail of that serpent rests in Egypt and India, its body in Europe, and its head Is raised in this country. Will you fight it? (Applause.) Thomas Jefferson when In Paris was asked: What, in your Judgment, is your greatest protection in the United States from tyranny? His reply was: In every log cabin in the United States there is a rifle, and tyranny does not dare to raise its head. The men who owned those rifles have passed away, hut they have left you the ballot, and as you guard and protect that ballot so will you answer to history for the charge that they gave to you. (Ap plause.) We need a second declaration of independence in the united States. (Applause.) I want to take your minds back to a scene that was enacted upon our soil in Philadelphia when congress was in ses sion and about to pass the declaration. The old bell man went Into the tower at the hour that congress convened. I There were ten or fifteen thousand peo- pie in the streets. He had posted & lit tle boy at the door to give him the signal if the declaration was adopted. Hour after hour went by and the old man shook his head and said, "They will never do it; they will never do it." Suddenly there was a shout in the streets and the little bue-eyd oy came into sight clapping his hands and shouting, "Ring, grandfather, ring." The old man, seizing the tongue of the bell, threw it back and a hundred times sounded that tocsin that has echoed and re-echoed over this land ever since that memorable day when we declared our first independence from E gland. What we need to have to-day is a lib erty bell ten thousand liberty bells to ring out in this country, speaking the intelligence of this people, that they can understand the war made upon Its resources whether it may be made by a destructive influence or by shot and shell. (Applause.) Teach the people from the little blue-eyed boy to the young and old to live again for the country and to understand that when its liberties are about to be destroyed they should act as their revolutionary forefathers acted, and declare that we should by right be Independent of the financial laws of England or of any other land that strikes at our liberty. (Continued applause.) What Do You Think of This? Several prominent officials of the League of democratic clubs are in Washington at the present time, and from one of them it is learned that tha league is to be used for all it is worth, to advance the theories of the admin istration. Work will begin at once and will be pushed vigorously. Wrherever a democratic convention reads aright the handwriting on the wall, a helping hand will be extended. The endorse ment of the administration will secure the support of the league. Wrhile the leaders of the organization are desirous that every democratic gathering shall uphold Mr. Cleveland in his tariff policy as well as upon the currency and coinage questions, they are deter mined to control the silver utterances of the conventions above all else. An, expression in a state convention plat form favorable to silver will bring down upon the convention the an tagonism of the league. On the other hand, the endorsement of the adminis tration means moral and financial sup port. While the league will assist materially in the efforts to elect the state tickets in Maryland, Iowa, Ken tucky and Pennsylvania, and such other states as may endorse the admin istration, the supreme effort will be made to insure the election of anti-silver delegates to the national conven tion of 1896. The whole power of the president and the cabinet will be brought to the support of the league in its efforts for sound money, and no means will be neglected which might aid the election of "sound money" dele gates, even in instances where nine tenths of the people openly favor sil ver coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1. Silver Sentiment in Illinois. J. K. Rordin, editor of the Charles ton (111.) Daily News, prints a card say ing that Senator Hill and Comptroller Eckels are talking at random when they declare that Illinois will be for "sound" money when the democratic state convention meets next year. He alleges that there are not enough gold democrats In the state to fill all the federal offices, as most of the postmas ters are free silver men, but are keep ing quiet. Editor Rordin then challenges Hill and Eckels as follows: "If these gen tlemen have any 'sound money to bet that the silver movement is dying out in Illinois, or that the Illinois demo crats will not declare for free silver in 1S96, let them come out to any county in Illinois and their money will get ac tion at once. For any man to say that the Illinois democrats are not for free sliver 16 to 1 simply shows that he is talking through his hat." Manufacturing in India. As for the manufacturing industry oi India its progress, though rapid of late, has not been diverse enough, either in kind or locality, to make much impres sion on the country at large. It has hitherto won only a . comparatively small portion of the community away from the agriculture, to which the lat ter is traditionally devoted. For one thing, India is at present at a disadvan tage In comparison with many of its compeers as regards a sufficient native supply of good coal and iron. Its labor is plentiful enough; whether it is cheap or not depends on its quality relatively to that of the more highly paid wage receiving class elsewhere. Some branches of industry, it Is true, have taken root to an extent that seems to open out the way for the transfer of capital to India from countries where, for various reasons not yet prevalent in the east, profits are, to put it mildly, uncertain. Among these are, of course, cotton and jute works, to which may now be added paper-making and ar ticles of leather. The wider extension of any of these operates toward the dis persion of the population from the land, and so far tends to lighten the. bur den as it becomes heavier in the ccurse of years."

Gov't Report OWN. Wise Old Kinff Cerrops. Did I say that the people who lived there (Athens) at that time were simple-minded? Rather childlike they I were in some ways, and not so worldly . wise as they might have been had they lived some thousand years later; but they were neither simpletons nor altogether savages. They were the foremost people in Greece. It was all owing to their king, wise old Cecrops, that they bad risen to a condition supe rior to that of the half barbarous tribes around them, lie had shown them how to sow barley and wheat and plant vineyards; and he had taught them to depend upon these and their flocks and herds for food, rather than the wild beasts of the chase, tie had persuaded them to lay aside many of their old cruel customs, had set them in families with each its own home, and had in structed them in the worship of the gods. On the top of the Acropolis they had built a little city, and protected it with walls and fortifications against any attact from their warlike neigh bors; and from this point as a center they had, little by little, extended their influence to the sea on one side and to the mountains on the other. But, strange to say, they had not yet given a name to their city, nor had they de cided which of the gods should be its protector. Fisos Cure is the medic ine to break up children's Coughs and Colds.

If there is no new dress under the sun, Aaron's linen coat being worn to day by women and pantaloons having been found from the stone epoch, there are at least designs that reappear like comets at such long intervals that they are new to some consecutive genera tions. Thus it is with a certain Marie Antoinette cloak, that has appeared and seems destined to a career. Not so very old in its design it is so ex tremely odd and its career was so short in its day that it comes with all ' the effect of surprise. This hood is ex ceedingly wide and is hooped round the opening, and when on the head stands out like an inflated half balloon some what flattened on top and leaving a wide space on each side of the face, that may be filled with hair or shad ows. The width of this hood reaches out to that of the widest sleeves ever made. Attached to a long cloak it is bound to figure in evening wraps next winter, but forstalling the time, they are occasionally seen on hotel piazzas at night, and made of taffeta beruched or of satin lined with cloth; one or two travelers have worn them coming from Paris to the beech. The effect is truly marvelous. The Nickel Plate road has authorized its agents to 6ell tickets at greatly re duced rates to Albany, N.

Stock in Ohio. The auditor of the state of Ohio has completed his annual tabulation of the returns of animals made by the various counties. It shows a notab'.e decrease in the number of sheep in the state, there be ing only 3,005,403 this year, against 3,555,182 in 1894. A decided reduction in the number of horses is also shown. In 1894 there were S24,S40, and this year there are but 795,S1'5, a decrease of 28, 945. There are 1,252,901 cattle in the state, a decrease of 43.204 from last year. An increase is shown in the number of hogs, there being 1,437,393 this year, against 1,331,109 in 1894, an increase of 100,224. "Hanson's Magib Corn Salve.' Warranted to cure or money refunded.

There is a Greek legend tellling how Athens came by its name, and there is a noble horse who plays a prominent part in the legend. If we are to be lieve the story, he was the first real flesh-and-blood horse of which we have any account. Some men say that he was the first animal of the kind that ever lived, but this is doubtful. Snowy white, without spot or blemish from the tips of his ears to the tips of his amber hoofs, how he must have astonished the simple-minded folk of Cecropin when he leaped right out of the earth at their feet! If you should evergoto Athens and climb to the top of that wonderful hill called the Acropolis look around you. You may see the very spot where it all is said to have hap pened.
