DHE BROWN EYES
FBOJI THE GE23IA?? BT T. L. SCHICK.
A youth Ihere was of modest air
Whom love held in its power;
He languished o'er a lace most fo!f
In lady's leafy bower.
But when of love he sought to speak
She turned away her ear.
And methla protestations meek,
With outright scoff and sneer.
'Why do you look so tender, down
On me with eyes of blue?
Go change those eyes to color brown
Then I will marry yon.'
The youth the painful smart repressed.
And left the lady's bower, '
And, sorely ix his mind distressed,
Invoked a sorceress" power.
"Come.let me in, tho' late It be,
And in my need give aid ;
The boon I ask is life to me.
Coma help me win mymuld;
"3he hates me. and for this alono,
Because my eyes are blue.
Then change the hue to hazel brown
And I shall win her, true."
The hag then raked the blackened hearth
And incantations said,
While dimmer grew the sense of earth,
Till he to .sense XTus dead.
"But soon the powers of magic pass
And sense to him restore
Himself he sees in mirrored glass
Brown eyed, as ne'er Defore.
And now behold all nature smiles
Iu.mornlug's golden ray.
His love 1"? seated on the stile
Across the beaten way.
"Ah ! ah L my dear how changed I see,
I scarce can think it truo,
I wonder where my eyes could be
When I admired you.
"Dispelled is now that maddened dream,
Its powers enthrall uo more,
My heart Is free, and It does 6eem
To scorn the love it bore."
Thus love is an Illusion, vain.
By which our hearts are bound
But, 6een with other eyes, disdain
Usurps the vacant ground.
S3?. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL..
Measures for lt Completion A Glance
at Its History.
The London JSeios of the last mall
contains an editorial account of the
origin, progress and present condition
of the movement to finish St. Paul's
Cathedral, from whioh tho following
paragraphs are quoted :
"3t. Paul's Cathedral ha3 gone
throughjnsanj- vicissitudes. Mr. Wil
liam Longman, of the Finance Com
mittee for its completion, has just
published a very admirable illustra
ted history of the threo successive ca
thedrRlsdedicated to St. Paul which
have stood on the present site. A sin
gular fatality seems to have attended
the building. During the twelve cen
turies in which London has had a St.
Paul's, the church has been five
times destroyed or nearly destroyed
b fire. Of theiirst cathedra! noth
ing is known. In the r-eventh cen
tury a catiiedral was built on the old
site of a Pagan temple, which, hav
ing stood for some five centuries, was
destroyed by the fire which devasta
ted Loudon in the- reign of William
the Conqueror. The second St.
Paul's was begun within a few years
of the destruction of the first, but 200
years nilerwnrria it was still incom
plete. In the first year of Stephen's
reign (11SG) a fire swept over London,
and the rising cathedrui was nearly
destroyed. In 1444 the Rteepie, which
was of wood covered with lead, was
fired by lightning in a great storm on
the 1st" of February, and such dam
age was done that it wa3 not com
pletely repaired for eighteen years. In
the year Iobl tne steeple was again
set on fire by lightning, and burned
down, with the whole roof. The
roof was restored, but the steeple was
never rebuilt. Fitful efforts at res
toration were made, like those of later
times, and Iting James, taking com
passion on the decaying fabric, ap
pointed a royal commission to con
sider what could be done to restore it,
and Inigo Jones designed his cele
brated Italian portico. The effort of
that'perioil was a noble one, and puts
to the btush the zeal of these more
prosperous times. In a few j'ears
nearly $90,000 were raised, and but
for the troubles the building would
have been completed as perhaps tho
most curious mixture of styles that
London could hhow.
"Mr. Longman thinks it fortunnte
that Tnieo Jones was prevented by
the civil war from carrying out his
schemes. After the restoration of
Charles IT. the work was again taken
in hand, aud Sir Christopher Wren
was preparing plans for completing
the building when the great fire
swept it away, and the present build
ing was efeoted on the anoient site.
The first stona was laid in 1G75, and
the lat in 1710, but the last w s nev
er finished. Dean Milman said that
the windows, in liia day, were tho
temporary ones which Wren had put
In "till others more suited to the dig
nity of the building could take their
place." The effort at huilding seem
ed to have exhausted the zeal of the
public, and for 150 years scarcely any
thing has been done. The great tem
ple was almost useless. It seemed
absolutely neglected and forgotten.
except as a place of burial for great
soldiers aud sailors, or as a place of
national thanksgiving. Even the res
toration of Sir James Thornhill's
paintings in the dome was only un
dertaken because the plaster was fall
ing iu Makes or hanging loose on the
walls; and Dean ililman Bays that
the bolder thought of attempting to
ornament the interior rose afterwards
with the determination to use the
space under the dome for public serv
ice. It was the thought of u?e Vhich
inspired the thought of beauty.
"The uses to whioh this cathedral
has been put are among the most cu
rious points to its history. "An odd
glimpse of ancient customs is given
by Dugdnle. In 1275 Sir Williams le
Baud gave a yearly buck and doe for
twenty-two acres cf land, and from
that time till the days of Q,ueen
Elizabeth the gift was received by
the canons, clad in their sacred vest
ments, and was borne in procession
round the building. There are some
hints in literature on the customs of
nhl St. i'nul'K. lien Johnson de
scribes Boabdii as Paul's mac ; and
when Flagstaff asks "Where's Bar
dolph?" and the page replies that he
is gone to buy a horse in Smithfield,
Flagstaff answers, "I bought him in
St. Paul's." The middle aisle was
called Paul's Walk, and was thecom
mon meeting place of the citizens,
the place where wits and gallants and
news-mongers assembled. Bishop
Earle in his Microcosmography, de
scribes it as the "land's epitome, the
leaser isle of Great Britain, the noise
in which is like thai of bees, estrange
humming or buzz mixed of walking,
tongues, and feet. The general mint

to meet in St. Paul's Cathedral by 11
and walk in the middle aisle till 12,
and after dinner from 3 to 6, during
which time some discoursed of busi
ness, others of news. Outside, the
cloisters were let to trunkmakers,
houses were built against the walla,
and in one place a baker had excava
ted an oven in one of tho buttresses,
where he baked his bread and pies.
Rope-dancing feats from the battle
ments were common, and there is a
legend of a horse named Marocco, the
property of a yintner, which wan said
to have climbed the steeple.
"These desecrations were perhaps
the natural cansequence of the cathe
dral being thrown open to the people
in undevout times. The reaction
from those times brought general ex
clusion. The nly wall and huge rail
ing which liava'so long given the
west fronE"its desolate appearauce
will, in the coming improvements,
be removed. The front will once
more be open to the public, just as ltd l
services have been thrown open by j
holding them beneath the dome."
ECCEXTRIC.
There is "some fun" aud not a lit
tle eccentricity in the following from
the Paxton, III., Gimlet, a new, and
probably irregular, "monthly:"
"Salutatory. Owing to the fact
that Christopher Columbus discover
ed America, and to the additional
fact that it lias rained every day that
it has not snowed for the past thirteen
mouths, and consequently there is
not much "bloom upon the rye" to
speak of, and the "corn is not waving
Annie dear," we have decided to is
sue monthly, a paper for the benefit
of this corn-atrioken community, so
that the people who have found by
bitter experience that farming is an
honest way to get a hard living, can
store their mind with useful and orn
amental knowledge, while bewailing
their unfortunate condition. The
ends we aim at are our "countries',
our God's," and greenbacks. This
edition is gracefully contributed to
this confiding community, like sal
vation, without money, without price,
and,we will add, without passing a
contribution box. It is free for all,
children half price. "While we do not
intend to mar the columns of this
beautiful magazine with uninviting
advertisements as the other disreput
able orguns of this county are doing,
still we shall be pleased to insert no
tices of marriages, plain, one dollar;
with our blessing, seven dollars. We
recommend the latter style to new
beginners. It is worth it. Obituary
notices of promiscuous parties thirty
cents. If we can select them, gratis,
with pleasure. We shall not identi
fy ourselves with auj political party
or organization, nor take any part
whatever in the Modoc war. We
don't consider it healthy. We intend
to supply every person in this vicini
ty with a oopy of this paper, and if
any should be omitted In the distri
bution they will please make it mani
fest by riting. Corn taken on sub

dor, are driven down to it from the
hotels, and when it is pointed out to
them by the driver their face3 percep
tibly lengthen. "You don't mean to
tell me that is the place ?" one hears
them saying. Probably the- may be
there when great Cffisar himself is
driving out in his chariot, drawn by
fiery steeds. Then tho astonishment
of the visitor is increased. The char
iot Ltirns out to bo a common bu
the fiery stoeds a young colt,
aud
Ciesar himself has not a single min
ion of power by his side. The news
paper correspondents waylay him day
and night one of the privileges of a
President. The Tribune man is ver3'
teldom here, but that makes no dif
ference, for it is easier to invent
"news" about General Grant than to
collect it.
Thus the Tri&ime'sstory last week,
given with great circumstance and
detail, that the President had gone to
Washington "with Tom Murphy,"
and that Secretary Richardson aud
Minister Jay were to be removed, had
not a word of truth In it. It is bad
enough to send Bohemians here to
dog the footsteps cf the President aud
listen at the keyholes of his doors
perhaps it ib even worse to concoct all
kinds of stories designed to excite un
founded prejudices. 13 there any
reason why the President should not
be allowed to spend a few days here
without the lowest class of newspa
per hacks being set upon him ?
Mr. Murphv is looked upon as fair
game by all the "Liberal" gang. He
has been a pretty bad thorn in their
sides, and if they can destroy him
they will do it. But people herea
bouts know pretty well the origin and
cause of the abuso heaped upon Mr.
Murphy. His only fault here -eems
to be unlimited hospitality his door
Jb never closed to friends. No doubt
it is a great orime, but his friends for
give him.
IX THE WB.OSG ROOM.
A Sensitive "Wrong m BasHfcil Young
2Ian aud 11U Trouble.
From the Leavenworth Commercial.
A young and susceptible gentleman,
whose dedigree and name shall be
"nameless here for evermore,,' be
thought him that he wquld beguile
the woary hours of Sunday by calling
nnnii n fpi.-nH rf hia wlin rnnms ill
one of our public buildings. Passing
a partly opened door, he went to his
friend's room aud knocked, receiving,
however, no nnswer, but heard an
uutnistakable lady's voice from the
next room, exclaiming, "Come right
in ; I'm in bed, but you don't mind
us old married folks." Our young
gentleman, who is of arrd invsatiga
tiug turn of mind, at once marched
boldly luto the room from whence the
the voice proceeded and advanced in
to middle of the apartment before be
ing observed by toe lady, who. attir
ed in her robe de nuit, was busily
gathering up her every day raiment,
preparing to go into an adjoining
room and dress. One glance at the
deeply embarrassed young man was
enough. "At once there rose so- wild
a yell." "as all the fiends from heav
en that fell" had broken loose
Spasms and hysterica were next in or

ROaiAJtTIC STORY.
An Abnormal Romance A Gashing
Love Story trlth a new Style of End
ing From "WUicn an Ine-rllable
Sloral 1 to be Drawn.
.The Montreal Witness is, like ita
New York namesake, a journal so
rigorously scrupulous in veracity and
morals that the following very curi
on3 little international love story from
one of its latest issues should hsve the
guarantee of all supposnble truth to
commend it. According to the facts
given by this authority there arrived
iu Montreal, from New York, about a
year ago, a wealthy young widow,
whose noticeable independence of
character Had not fully maintained
itself under the first local associations
of memory following hor husbaiid's
death. In other words, the city in
whioh she had known the greatest
happiuess and bitterest Korrovr of her
brief married life was unendurable to
neji earlier months of widowhood,
and. wishing for as great a change of
scene as was practicable to her with
out oros3iug the ocean, she repaired
to Canada, as above related, on a vis
it to a matronly friend their residing.
Like herself, thi3 friend was a widow,
but had a son whose youthful nature
was more calculated to excite sympa
thy for himself In his sentiment to
ward such a guest than to offer the
same disinterestedly. An ingenious,
simple hearted mere 003 of barely
twenty 3'earaT verdant growth in life,
the feminine beauty that might have
been perilous enough for him in
smiles, was instantaneously fatal to
him in tears, and before either his
mother or their visitor were awareuof
his passion, the poor lad wa3 ready to
die of it.
. Of course this climax waB ridicu
lous, not to speak of its indecorum ;
and as it had been previously under
stood that the offender shduid gd to
one of the Western States, where a
merchant friend of the family had of
fered him a business situation, he was
now hurried off from home lest his
follj should become ton conspicuous.
This happened before he had sum
moned tho daring to make any verb
al revelation of his very obvious in
fatuation, and the fair object of the
latter had so much excuse for feign
ing unconsciousness of the cause of
his sudden departure. It was but a
poor feigning, for the lady, however,
and If the whole truth must be told
at once, the lovesick exile was no
sooner gone than she began rebelling
at the conventionalities which had
compelled hi3 departure. She was
scarcely out of the fir&t year of her
widowhood, and he several years her
junior; yet such fresh, impetuous de
votion as his did not deserve contempt
and she could not help dwelling upon
it spm pathetically. Under these cir
cumstances her earlier "independ
ence" of character catne back to her,
and not only did she remain with her
widowed friend in Montreal, but also
wrote boldly to her departed lover
telling hini, in effect, that the un
spoken cause of his abrupt alienation
from houie involved nothing that
prevented his speedy return ! The
mother knew nothing of this same
extraordinary writing until the over
joyed 3oung man was once more at
the door, aud then the meeting be
tween him and the visitor left noth
ing to be explained. What the ma
ternal feeling was thereat is not tola;
possibl' the prospect of having a rich
daughter-in-law quieted the older Ia
d3'a first protesting inclination.
In the pecuniar element of the af
fair, however, there wa an uuforseen
wreck for the whole romance. The
events described aud the ensuing
form of courtship occupied nearly a
year ; and when, not man days ago,
the young widow wrote to her friends
and the executors of her husband's
will in this city that she was about
to marry again, she received the ap
palliug responsive information that,
by the term's of the will aforesaid, her
resumption of wedlock must cause
tho reversion of her late husband's
whole fortune, excepting a compara
tively small annuity, to his blood re
lations. In her first distracting grief
and succeding distracting new love,
she had never thought of th"i3 posthu
mous provision, aud upon being re
minded of that fact now, her feelings
underwent what some fine writers
are wont to call a "great revulsion."
Having been unwomanly in her man
ner of bringing her eecond suitor to
her side, it was not, perhaps, illogi
cal in nature thatgho should, at the
very altar's edge, discard him for
money. At any rate that was what
she did, according to the creditable
witness of the catastrophe, and re
turned sordidly to New York; and
now respectable pocial circles in the
two cities are questioning whether a
Custom allowing women to take the
initiative in matrimonial proposals
would be likely to secure noliler and
more genuine affiliations in love than
are generallv attained in the old-fashioned
way. " Such an illustration cer
tainly favors the negative, and is
worth some study in the interest of
the immemorial habit of honorable
men and womanlj women in all the
chivalrous and gentle relations.

At 6 o'clock in morning ten strokes
upon one of the electric bells inform
the pupils that day has begun for them.
At quarter pa3t 7 (formerly a quarter

cupying her seat at one of the numer
ous tables which the dining-room
abounds. Conversation is permitted
during meals, and half an hour is de
voted to breakfast. During any time
vtlln that half hour a student may
withdraw on being excused by the la-

might be mentioned in passing that
a great deal of difficulty was experi
enced in procuring a thorouifhl effi

meals are provided in much the same
wav as those of a hotel, and the firat
impression a blindfolded visitor might
have, whose eyes were unbaudaged
in the dining-room or kitchen, would
probably be that bi? was in a new,

read, visit, work, or play, or, in short
do what they choose restrained only
by the genet al rules of the college.
Sunday, of course, is devoted to reli

ries are so arranged that their sleep
rooms are in connection with one par

Some of these dormitories contain sin

AS OTOEEIOUS SIXA3IE.
A Scaudolous Per-rerslon of q Quaker
Gift to a. Rand ofKebruka Squarr.
A Nebraska letter to an Eastern ex
change says; '"Spending some days
lately among the Otoe Indians on
their reservation on the Big Blue, in
South Nebraska, I saw quite a new
phase of life. The Otoes are still
"blanket"' Indiana wearing breach-
olout and legcius but neither
coat
nor breeches. Their lodges, dauees, i
games, dresB and general habi ts, and
especially their burial rites, interest
ed me exceedingly. But I am now
unable to describe my experience in
regard to these matters. For years
the Quakers have had the Otoes in
hand, and have labored to elevate
them with a zeal worthy of better
success than hu3orowned their efforts.
"Last year uetfa cameto Philadel
phia Quakers from their mlasiouary
among the Otoes, that the squaws
were all destitute of bonnets. This
destitution horrified the Quakeresses.
A subscription was started; a hun
dred bonnets were bought aud imme
diately started by express to the Otoe
Superintendent. Next day after the
bonnets arrived, the squaws were all
congregated, and a bouuet was uieel
fitted on the head of each by the wife
of the nlissionary. But this head
gear was speedily taken off to be look
ed at, and then no Indian belle knew
how to replace her bonnet the right
side before ; nor was this the worst cf
it.
"But the sequel of the story is not
to be understood without a reference
to a singular Otoe idea regarding the
point ol honor, which was first dis
covered by Major Long on his expe
dition and councils among this pecul
iar people in 1319. No Otoe brave can
sit down between sunrise and sunset
without disgrace. He may lie, or
lean, or kneel, but he must not sit,
any more than a Moslem may eat be
tween aan and sun in Bamadan. To
guard ligainst a warrior unwittingly
ttausgressing this anti-sitting law,
the-dress of the Otoe brave is provid
ed with a "crow cushion" so contriv
ed as to prick him in the seat of hon
or as soon as he begins to sit down.
In consequence of this custom, no
sooner did the squaws bring home
the bonnets than the braves, regard
ing those articles as crow cushions,
seized them as suitable costume for
themselves, though superfluous for
Indian women. The next day the
squaws appeared bareheaded, but each
warrior was tricked out with a bon
net, not on his head, but as a pauier.
Nor could any disinterested spectator
fail to confess that the fashionable
American bonnet, though unfit for a
head covering, when worn as a "crow
cushion," was enshrined iu the uiche
it was ordained to fill."

FilRTXriG AS A FIZZ: ART.
The science of society amounts to
little true art unless a curtain genius
goes with the knowledge ; aud who
will deny that there is a certain nat
ural gift "for social influence, as there
is for all beautiful arts ? Some per
sons have a rare social witchery who
have not any other form of genius,
and some women of very moderate
abilities in other respects, have an art
of pleasing that amounts to fascina
tion. One woman iu famous attire
will gather a great crowd of notables
In a grand hoa?e and give them a
great supper, arid all shall be fiat and
dull; while some winsome little body,
without any flash costume or parade,
and even without rare beauty, will
entertain her circle of guests in a
charming way of her own, and make
them all at home with her and each
other. She plays upon their various
tempers and traits aud associations as
a master hand plays upon the harp or
piano. I have sometimes thought
that womanly charm, aud perhaps
even what is the best sense is called
flirting, could be made one of the fine j
arts, aud consecrated to charity, and
even to religion. That bright girl
takes that half dozen striplings in
hand, aud touches each in turn with
playful grace, until they are willing
captives to her spell, and ready to buy
her pincushions or watch chains at
the fair, or go to her church and wor
ship bv her nraver book. There is a
line, indeed, bevond which this flirt-
ing ceases to be a fine art, and be-

Yet, as the world goes, a great deal of i

These men mostly shy with their
letteis aud their tales of love. That
was sacred ground, upon which no
strange, rudo feet could pass. No
gold-hunter thore, perhaps but had
his love his one only love, without a
chance or poeeibllitj of changing the
object.of his devotion, even if he had
desired it. Men must lave as well as
women. It is the most natural and
consequently, tho most propor thing
on earth. Imagine how intensified
and how tender n mau'a devotion
would became under circumstances
like these. The one imsge in his
heart, the one hope her. So nmch
time to think, bending to'tho work iu
the running water under the trees.on
the narrow trail beneath the shadows
of the forest, by the camp and cabin
lire, her face and hers duly, with no
nevi- face rising up, crossing his path,
confronting him for days, for months
for years see how holy" a thing would
grow to be. This, you observe, is a
new inan, a nevf manlier of lover.
Love. I say, Is a requirement, a neces
sity. It is as necessary for a complete
man to love as it is for him to breathe
pure air. Aud it is as natural.
These men, being so far removed
from any personal contract with the
objects of their affections, and ouhr
I now and then at a long intervals re-
ceiving letters, all marked add re
marked across the baoks from tho re-
mailings from camp to camp.of course,
knew of uo interruptions in the our-'
rent cf their devotion and loved in a
singular earnest and Blhtere way. I
doubt If there be anything lik It in"
history.
When men go to war they have the"
glory and excitement of battle to al
lure them r then the eyes of man
women are upon them ; they are not!
locked up like these men of the Sier
ras, with only their work and the one
thing to think of. When they go to
sea, the sailors find new faces in every
port ; but these men, from the time
they crossed the Missouri or left the
Atlantic coast, have-known nostrauge
gods, hardly heard a womatf's voice
till they returned.
It wa3 the confidence oi one young
feiiow here,.vary young aud very ver
dant not 07 the graud type at all : iu
fact, ho was of Pacific growth as fat
he had et developed, and not a rep
resentative man at all. But he is the
only one who took me wholly in his
confidence, and of whom I can truth
fullv sneak bv the card, as they say.
He'lnid three letters, stained and
worn and torn. They looked as old
as some of the sacred relics you see
under the glass cases In the British
Museum. These letters were hi-
treasures. True, be had a bug or fewc
of gold, a bowie knife, a pistol, a pair
of blankets, and, what wae rsslly a
marvel and a ffisrk of extravagance,
an extra red flannel shirt ; but these
were trifles. Those three letters were
the boy's chief pride. Every Sunday,
up ou the hillside, where a little surr
broke through the cedar tops and split
itself iu shifting pools and. billowu
aloug the leaves, we two would sit
and read aud re-resd these letters and
talk aud think aud plan and prophe
sy in a way that was as earnest as it
vras absurd.
I remember but one of thes letterr
entirely the tamest and shortest one.
But that one, no doubt, is quttt
enough. It had no dnte or postmark,
and was signed Merinda only, with a
small initial letter. The name was
as followed by many stars, the signif
icance of which hi too well known tr
repeat. "ml deer love I want to ae you so

There was a hollow tree tbat stood
at the edge of a grove that lay parti
between the parental fsnehea, which.
was flttad up for a Post-offieo. These
were imaginative young lovers, it
seems to me, with a disposition U
make the most of their limited raeour
ces for innocent amusement. There
was an old buiby-tailed gray squirre
in the branches, adorned with side
whiskers like an Englieh military
