I am looking tip and down.
Up and down, through the town,
Korallttlohouso to dwell In,
A shelter and a iif;t:
Hut though the bud arc swelling.
And tbo springs from earth aro wolllii.
-cannot flud a place for my rrat.
Them aro no wall to hold u.
Not a homo to enfold nx.
Not a hearth for a fir".
Not a chamlMsr for our alcrv:
In vain my iuost I keep
None answer my deslrr.
Up and down.
Through tlio town.
Then middeiily I hear
A v. hlMper In my car
"Turn aslilu from thy Bt-ekliij:.
I.lHtnn to my upc-uklng:
Tliero Is a lioiiso for then!
Tliero aro trocs to aliadu tbo aiimmor.
Thero Is room for every comer.
And broad tbo Rate way bu
To this home that waits for tlieo.
"up and down.
Through the town.
Thou nondost not to wander;
Thy houBo 13 ready jonder;
The roof Is smooth and grcei.
And tbo chamber In no still
And thy house shall no man borrow
To-day nor to-morrow.
Nor vexed with Joy or sorrow.
Is that dwelling place serene.
Thero Is no price to pay.
No need to move away.
No ctII eye can harm then.
Nor man nor beast alai iu thee;
Thy flowers grow very fair
In summer scented air.
And the snow lies still and soft.
Up aloft.
Thy Iioiiho Is ready hern,

Kcok no more:
For the door
Is opening to thy feet.
And the wide and silent street
Is ready for thy tread
In the city or the dead.
ouk no longer! here Is rest for heart aud head.
Come In hero."
A PRACTICAL JOKK.
I did Ioyo her. Oh, how I did lovo
thutK'rl- And they say all is fair in
lovo and war, and perhaps that is some
excuse for me.
I had liked her a long while, and I
knew that she liked me.
I was as big a fellow as she could see
any where about I had a farm of my
own, and, when I was married, father
had promised to build mo a lirst-rate
house and block the place for mo.
And when I went to church on Sun
day, or to town, I had good clothas, and
was never told I looked ill in them.
On the whole, I felt myself a good,
fair match for Fanny Martin, though
she was so nice a girl. And her father
and mother thought so to, andshe never
refused my attentions.
I had settled in the slow, quiet sort of
way in which countrymen do settle
these tilings, that we'd make a match
of it
The other young fellows knew il, and
if wo were not fashionable wo were so
far gentlemen that we had our code- of
honor. Xone of them ever interfered
or tried to cut mo out
But then "he" came, you see dapper
and pretty, and dressed like a tailor's
fashion plate, and he talked of things I
knew very little about, and his hands
were white, and he had graceful, gallant
ways that 1 had never learnt
Mr. "Williams, that was his name.
And in that summer holiday of his,
while we were working hard over the hay
ami were tanned, dirty and worn, and
ho tired that sleep was about all we
wanted wlieu work was over, why then
he, soft, sweet and smiling, made him
self agreeable to the girls, and crept into
Fanny Martin's heart my Fanny.
She scarcely looked at me. She did
not caro whether she met me or not;
and on Sunday there he was making mo
feel somehow so coarse, rough :uul vul
gar, and when I wanted her to go with
me into the woods where we used to sit
in the great green shadow and listen to
the birds sing, she had some excuse for
staying at homo; and when on the road
from church I took her hand in mine,
she snatched it away, and said quite
crossly:
"Don't, lien; don't do such silly rustic
things while the London folks aro here.
They never do it themselves, and they
laugh so."
"Mr. "Williams laughs, you mean, I
suppose "said I. "That's gentlemanly,
too."
And then Bho blushed and curled her
little lip and said:
"You are criticising Mr. "Williams'
manners, are you?"
After that there was a coolness be
tween us; but though it made my heart
ache I could not think that it mattered
much to her.
I stayed away from her father's house
and did not walk home with her from
church on Sunday; indeed I did not go
to church at all. And I knew thd young
folks ajo, and the old folks too were
saying that we had fallen out with each
other, and I suppose every one guessed
why; but I would never answer any
questions not even when my own
mother asked me not I.
So the summer came and tho autumn
passed on, and the town people stayed
and stayed.
I saw that fellow's silk hat and twill
umbrella and exquisitely-fitting gar
ments wherever I went Farther than
I could see other people I used to see
him and her Mr. "Williams and Fanny.
They had never made Fanny work
much at home, and she had plenty of
time to-enjoy herself an only daughter,
you see, I mean, and her people were
what is ealled forehanded.
I never intended that she should
drudge after we were married. When I
had hoped for that I did not mind work
myself, but I'd never have made a slave
of my wifa
Tins Mr. Williams could not make of
her a more precious treasure than I
would ; I knew that
I was thinking this all over one even
ing in the meadow, when suddenly I
heard some one say :
"Ah Mr. Mr. Burling."
I looked up, and there was Mr. WI11
ianis nattier than ever, with a cigar in
Lis mouth.
If he had known Just howl felt to him
Tin not sure that he'd have come to
find mo alone in the great meadow, and
I thought of that just as I jumted up
from the grass and looked at him. J5ut
he was smiling as iolitely as possible,
and there Is something in a man's heart
that makes it hard to do the first rude
tiling to one who is cIvIL
Still I was not polite to him.
"That's my name," Raid I to him. "Do
you wiuit moV
"I want something of you," said he.
There's a little excursion to-night from
our house. We're going to take a lady.
Have you any little light trap, and a
horse, of course, that you could let me
hire for tho evening? I'd rather go
alone with her than in the big wagon
ette. You know, I'm sure, how it is
that a fellow had rather ride alone with
a pretty girl, and if you will helpmeout
I will bo ever so much obliged to .you."
So he had come to wk me to help him
to have a nice time with my girl he
who had cut mo out!
I looked at him, just holding my hands
still by maiu force, and I thought of him
riding along the moonlit nwwl with Fan
ny close by him.
I asked myself whether his arms
would not be around her waist, and
whether in the shadow, as they fell a
littly behind the others, he would not
kiss her.
"And you want mo to help youV I
wild out" loud. "Me!"
"Yes," he saiiL "Please,"
"Come along," I said. "I'll show you
what I have got"
On the farm that was mine there was
one building, a little cow-shed. We put
the tools in there sometimes, and I had
a padlock for tho door; tho key was in
my pocket
It came Into my head that I could
spoil this evening for him, and spite
Fanny, too, by locking him in the shed.
And if he hud spirit enough to fight me
for it Afterwards so much the better.
I led tho way down into tho meadow
where it stood, and unlocked the door.
"Just look in," said I, "and see if that
will suit you."
"Can't see anything," said he. "It's
pitch dark. Wait, I have a match."
He took one from his pocket, and
stooped to strike it on tho sole of his
boot, and then I gave him a push aud
over ho went fiat on the fioor, and I had
tho key in my pocket
"You'll not make any ono hear very
soon, my lad," said I, "and you'll not
kiss Fanny Martin going over the
bridge this evening."
Then I went away and laid myself
fiat upon tho porch iu front of our house
and felt happier than 1 had felt before
for a long time.
Itevengo is sweet now aud then.
I do not pretend to have none of the
old Adam iu me.
I'd been there about half an hour, and
the chirp, chirp, chirp of the crickets
was lulling mo off to skvp, when sud
denly I heard a little light step close by
me and saw a woman's white dress llut
leiing, and, jumping up, stood before
Fanny Martin.
Tho first througlil that came into my
mind was that she was looking for her
beau, and it made mo Ifeudisli.
"Is that you, Miss Martin?" said I.
"Yes, Mr. Burling," said sho and,
though 1 had said Miss Martin, how it
hurt me not to bo called Hun. "T :.mn
over to see your mother. I
"Xo," said I.
"Then I'd better go limno," satd'fttui.
But sho lingered.
'Not looking for any one else?" said I.
"No," she said very sadly, "(jood
night"
Butl could not let hex go without u
cut
"1 thought you'd bo on this wonderful
moonlight drive," said I.
"Thero you wore mistaken," said she.
"Did ho forget to come for you ?" said I.
"Mr. Williams, you know."
"I haven't been asked to drive," said
sho. "I don't know why you speak so.
Mr. Williams, I suppose, is with the
lady he's engaged to. She camo down
last week with her mother."
"Oh," said I, and I began to wish I'd
asked a few more questions before I
locked young Williams up in the cow
house. Wo stood stilt apart from each other.
I saw her lip quiver. Was it for him?
Had ho jilted hex-? That was tit for Uit
anyhow.
But sho was so pretty, and so s;id, and
so winning that I felt my heart giveone
great throb. I took a step nearer she
took another.
"Oh, Ben," cried she, "I can't stand it
if you keep angry with me. I always
have liked you best but you've been so
awfully cross."
And then sho was crying on my
shoulder.
Did you ever make up with some one
you'd quarreled with, loving her all the
time?
Did you ever feel, holding the dear
face between your two palms pressing
sweet kisses on the dear, soft mouth,
that it had all come back, all the old
love, and trust, and sweetness, and hope
that you thought dead? If you have,
you must know what I felt that minute.
I found myself again. I was Ben Bur
ling once more. How strange it was.
Out of all my life I'd like to have that
one moment back; it was tho sweetest
I over lived through.
Up in tho midst of the far meadow
rose a column of fiamo.
The cowhouse was on fire, and I had
locked poor innocent young Williams
up in it there to be roasted alive.
"Oh, Fanny," I cried, glaring at the
horrible sight, "I'm a murderer a mur
dererdon't touch me."
And away I flew to undo my mischief,
if there was time. Thero might be
perhaps.
Never was such a run as I took across
that long meadow.
When I reached the door, plunging
my hand into my pocket for the key, I
could not find it I had dropped it
somewhere. It was nt about me.
"Williams!" I cried; "Williams! are
you there? I am on the outside. Cour
age!" There was no answer.
"For Heaven's sake, if you can speak,
do," I shrieked, but silence answered me.
Doubtless the smoke had already
smothered tho ioor fellow, but I set
to work and tore away the burning
lx;ards. I .was scorched. My hair, my,
face, my eyebrows. Twice my clothes
were on fire, but I rolled on the dew
wet gnus, and was up at tho llauius
again. Oh, it was horrible!
If he lutd lieea my rival it would have
been bail enough, but an innocent young
fellow; his sweetheart waiting for him
somewhere!
What a monster I was!
"Heaven have mercy on me!" cried I.
"I't me save him, don't punish me
by making me a murderer!" and I tore
and wrenched the boards with my burnt
hands. And in a moment more well
it was the roof that fell, I think I
don't know.
"He'll do very nicely now," said some
one very nicely; plenty of nourishing
food, and the wash as directed. No
danger, though his escape is wonderful."
It was the family doctor, and I was
on the spare bed in the bedroom, with
bandages about my hands.
Mother sat thero; so did Fanny.
Fatiier looked over the bed foot Phelim
and Jane Maria, Uie servant, were :Uso
visible.
"And why ho was so set on saving
that old shell I can't tell," said mother.
"lie must have hid something precious
there."
They did not know then. I sat up
and looked at them alL
"It wasn't the shed," said I. "Mother,
father, Fanny, it was Mr. Williams. I
had locked him up there. I've mur
dered him."
"No you havn't" said another voice,
and some one came around the bed.
'Tin alive you see. You didn't think
I'd stay locked up in a cownhcd when 1
had an engagement with a lady, did
you? 1 just burned the lock off with
my cigar, and came away. I intended
to give you a fright in return for your
trick. I suppose it's what you call a
practical joke in the country but 1
didn't think of anything serious. I'm
really sorry."
1 don't know what I said. I know 1
felt very foolish; but that was not half
as bail ;is feeling like a murderer.
I had a pretty pair of hands for the
next four weeks, but I didn't mind it
as much ;w if Fanny had not fed me
with hers.
Sho petted mo as if I were a hero in
stead of an idiot. I believe she thought
I had done something noble and grand.
And she's been my wife now how
long, Fanny?
Not so long as to havo forgotten to
bo lovers, though my boy's head is on
a level with his mother's shoulders and
my own is turning gray.
What an English Explorer Says of the
Anthropology of Coutral Africa.
At a meeting of the members of the
Anthropological Institute of (.Jreat Brit
ain and Ireland, Colonel Lane Fox,
President, in the chair, held hist even
ing in the theatre of the Society of
Miues, Jeriuyn street St Jamea, Lieu
tenant Cameron, C. B., Hoyal Navy,
read a paper on tho subject of the an
thropology of Central Africa.
Tho distinguished traveler said that,
owing to ages of Mohammedan immi
gration, tho pure typo of the negro did
not at present exist on the East Coast
of Africa, from whioh they had been
driven inland. In Madagascar there
wero many tribes of Malay origin.
Among those tribes were some who
wore their hair down their backs to
their waist, some who had strong bark
woven through their wool, and others
again who sported wigs. Ho then pro
ceeded to give a rapid description of the
characteristics and manners of the va
rious tribes along his route, by many of
which he was warmly welcomed, and
by others very coldly indeed. In de
scribing tho dress of the ladies in vari
ous of these nations tho lecturer caused
considerable amusement among his
audience. There were ladies, he said,
in the interior somewhat scantily, albeit
picturesquely, clothed, who wore their
hair divided by four partings, each
woven into a plait and all wound round
the head, tho ends being adorned with
beads and polished steel extinguishers,
so as to form a coronet; others who
wore tattooing knives iu their hair, and
adorned or disfigured their faces with
paint and again, those among the lower
classes who perforated tho upper lip and
inserted a stone, which made the lip
protrude like a duck's bill. Besides
these, thero wero ladies who sported
leather headdresses tho most hideous
ever invented, tho likeness to which
when he left England were, he believed,
called chignons. Laughter. In de
scribing tho industries and manufac
tures of the great continent he stated
that the natives, in some places, ground
their corn with the trunks of trees ; and
the pottery ware manufactured strongly
reminded him of specimens dug up in
the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
In his travels ho came to a country
where the iron trade was in a flourish
ing condition, there being many found
ries about 50 feet long by SO feet wide
where they frequently got 150 pounds
to 200 pounds of metal in a single
smelting. Ifere ho had seen pieces of
iron worked simply by the hammer and
molded into various shapes, including
the human form, as completely finished
as if manipulated by the most skilled
English artisan. Among the fetish
men whom he met tho priests were for
the most part clever ventriloquists, an
art which they put to Yery profitable
purpose, as was shown by tho answers
of their idols, which were favorable or
otherwise according to the value of tho
offering. London Standard, May 24.
