BERTHA AND RUDOLPH.
One eveuiiif young musician'
Rudolph Orubeim, and Bertha, the
prwttiest girl of Mayeuce, were alone.
They were bethothed, and yet the fol
lowing day would iiud them separated,
fiudolph was going to a distant prov
ince. Fur two years he would follow
the It-awjus of a ciever master; then, on
his return, Bertha's father would give
him his diitighter and surrender his
pusition as choir-master in his favor.
"Bertha," said Rudolph, "fct us play
together once more this air you love so
welL When we shall be separated, at
the end of each day, at the hour of
grave thoughts, we both shall play our
parts and it u ill bring us closer, oue to
the other."
ibirtha took her harp, liudolph ac
companied her upon his flute, and they
played several times Bertha's favorite
tune. At last they began to cry, and
kissed one another. Budolph departed.
Both were true to their words. Each
evening, at the hour when they had
met for the last time, Bertha went to
her harp, liudolph to his flute, and each
one played their part Tlis eveuing
hour is solemn and mysterious; it pre
disposes to musing; in i eddish vapors
which arise upon the horizon it seems
that oue sees all the events appear in a
vivid picture. That one can live all
over his lust days, some gay and
crowned with roses, others sad and
draped in mounting.
At that hour the last breath of the
wind among the leaves seemed to
modulate tunes to which we affix sweet
and sad remembrances; music is the
soul's vok-e.
Budolph sometimes stopped playing
he thought he heard the vibrations of
Bertha's harp mingling with the sounds
of his tlute. Two years passed thus.
One evening Bertha and her father
were under the arbor in their little gar
den. This garden was formed by live
acacias, which spread over their heads
a wreath of foliage, strewn with whitts
dowers, the dark wreaths of lilacs
closed the distance between their
trunks, while three or four climbing
honeysuckles made the spot a perfect
bower.
Through the narrow entrance the
purple line produced by the setting sun
was visible. It was the Hour sacred
to remembrance. Bertha played the
favorite tune upon the harp, but sud
denly she stopped to listen.
Everything was silent: the breezes
even had ceased to move the leaves.
Bertha again played the tune, 'again
she heard lludolph's flute.
It was Rudolph come back.
Two years later Rudolph and Bertha
had a beautiful little daughter, off
spring of a union blessed by Berthas
father before he died. Budolph was a
choirmaster, and the income from liu
situation was ample for the young
people.
Rudolph had bought a pretty little
house. At the back of the house was a
thick growth of lindens; in front a
large green meadow, upon which the
child played. Large Bengal rose bushes
crept all over the white walls and every
thing was so cozy and bright- There
was not a crack through which one
could peep from the outside; happy
people love retirement
Then the child passed away, ana one
month later Bertha died of grief.
When she felt the end drawing near
she said to Rudolph:
"In vain do I seek to cling to lite
through my prayers; I must rejoin our
child, abandon you, await you in a bet
ter world. If the dead have the power
to reappear upon this earth you shall
see me asain: mv shadow shall hover
around you, for my heaven is the place
where vou are. When the day has
come when we can be united again
haii come to seek vou. and our two
souls concentrated in one shall rise for
ever from this earth, where nothing
more will bind them. Each year on my
birthday, whether you shall be happy
or unhappy, loved or abandoned, sad or
a-ay. at the hour when the sun is set
ting, when prayers mount to heaven
umirt rim sound of the evening bells
and the perfume of the flowers, play
this tune, which for so long a time has
goothed the pains of absence; this will
be the only consolation I shall have in
this long separation. This muilc snail
hA mam to mv soul than all Um con-
cegts of the church."
Then she kissed him and died.
iinrfoinh iMtcame crazv. They made
Kim (.aval for ometlme. On his re
turn his head was more calm but
teen melancholy took possession of him
and left him no more. Ha left Bertha's
, .amain as it was at the time of
waaa va-
i. jiaath- thn bed still unmade, the
ajVl OVwa-t

Once more his wife birthday came;
one more' be Ailed to room with
flowers, and toward ranlng locked
Umaslf in. dressed at tor marriage;
then ht played Ue same tune upon his
flute.
Again the next day found him un
conscious upon the floor.
But wheu liter wished to lead him
away he coelly announced that if they
did not allow him to remain in the
house where his wife died Le would
kill himself. As his reason did not ap
pear to be shaken by this accident they
yielded.
This is what happened:
On tiie first anniversary, as soon as
he had prayed, the cords of the harp
vibra ed and of their own accord had
accompanied the flute.
When be stopped the sound of the
harp died away.
On the second anniversary, thinking
that he had been the victim of an illu
sion, he played again; again the harp
played its part; be ceased playing and
the harp ceased playing; he placed his -hand
upon the cords and could feel
their hist vibration.
On both occasions he had fallen,
stricken with terror, and had passed
the night in a deep swoon.
But he ended by becoming accustom
ed to this violent emotion, in which he
found an acute pleasure.
All his evenings and the greater part
of his nights were passed thus. His
cheeks became hollow; his eyes alone,
sunken in their sockets, appeared alive
and shone with a supernatural brill
iancy; just enough life to feel and to.
suffer was retained in his body.
A friend, whom through chance or
fate he had retained, became alarmed
and wished to know what Rudolph did
iu the room. He replied that he played
the tlute and that Bertha's shadow
played the harp; that in reality death
was hut the beginning of another life;
that while he felt, himself dying he also
felt his intimacy with his wife he had
loved so well grow steadily, and that
during this mysterious harmony it
seemed to him that he saw Bertha at
her harp: that ho was happy, desired
nothing more, and requested nothing,
either from heaven or from men.
It was the third anniversary, oi
Bertha's birthday. Rudolph ouce more
flllei tlie rooms with flowers, and wore
a boquet in his buttonhole. He had
covered the bed with roses.
Then at sunset he took bis flute and
played Bertha's tune.
The friend w s hidden behind a cur
tain; he trembled when he heard the
sounds of the harp mixing with those
of the tlute. Rudolph kneeled and
prayed.
Then the harp played alone; the
cords could be seen vibrating without
any hand touching them. It played
celestial music, such as no one heard
before nor will ever hear again. Then
it played again Bertha's tune, and
when it was ended all the cords broke
at once and Rudolph fell upon the
floor.
For some moments the friend re
mained as motionless as Rudolph;

Ancient Irrigation.
As the suhject of irrigation is at the
present time being so extensively agi
tat d throughout the state a little his
tory as to its efficiency Is maintaining
large population, in what would
otherwise forever remain a desert may
not be out of place. It will also show
that the people of the orient, in past
ages, driven, no doubt, by density of
population, to devise means to reclaim
their arid lands, for the production of
crops as a means of sustenace. The
Egyptians in the early ages, among
other things, attained a high position
in engineering.
There is one great undertaking con
ceived and executed by an engineer
which during the space of 4,000 years
has never ceased its office, on which the
life of a fertile province depends. This
is the Bahr Joussuf the canal of
Joseph built, according to tradition, by
the son of Jacob, and which consti
tute not the least of the many bless
ings conferred on Egypt during the
years of his prosperous rule. This
canal took its rise from the Nile at
Asint and ran almost parallel with it
1for nearly 250 miles, crossing along un
der the west cliffs of the Nile valley
with many a bend and winding, uutil
at length it gained an eminence, as
compared with the river bed, which en
abled it to turn westward through a
narrow pass and eater a district which
was otherwise shut off from the fertil
izing floods on which all vegetation de
pends. The northern ead stoxl seven
teen feet above low Nile, while at the
southern end it was at an equal, eleva
tion with the river. Through this cut
ran a perennial stream vwhich watered
a province named the Fayoum, endow
ing it with fertility, and supporting a
large population. In the time of the
annual Rood a great part of the canal
was under water, and then the river's
currant would rush in a more direct
course hito the pass, carrying with it
the rich tilt which takes the place of
manure, and keeps the soil in a state of
constant productiveness. All this,
with the aiceptian of tha tradition
tuat Joseph built it, can ba verified to.
