Well, dear little mortal,
S;t down on life' portal.
With never a mieMioii ol choice or of will;
Small pilgrim, set out
On u journey of doubt.
With your hhrine at the top of a troublesome
hill
Look about with those eyn,
Full of grave, fweet mirpriHO,
And nay what you think of the world, now
you're In it.
If it best worth your while
To meet life with a hinlle?
Or a frown, that you ever were forced to be
gin it?
Ah, "lif!" in the name
Of a curiouw game!
And whether we sinlltj, child, or whether we
frown.
We must each play In turn.
Though we bcarculy may learn
TherulcHoi the game till the curds are thrown
down;
'Tis queer burry-skurry.
"Full of bother and worry,
For each player couick in with ubme trick of
Ills own ;
Hut the M-cret of winning
J.icH all in beginning.
So be sure you aie right, child, then "I'lay it
alone."
HAS X All.
Great broken masses of black clouds
were lying in the west; and through
them, turning their ragged edges into
gold, and laj mg long bars of light across
the wind-tossed waves, streamed the
setting sun.
Here, with the shawl drawn closely
about her (for the October wind was
chill, after the galo), stood Drusilla
"Ward. Her face was bright with the
reflected glory of sky and sea, which
made her almost beautiful. But the
tplendor of the scene was too familiar
to her eyes to long detain her.
She watched for a moment the soli
tary sail in tight a little boat, beating
againsL the wind and turned to leave
the rock. She had come down the
beach, and one could trace her foot
prints all along in the smooth sand, to
the point yonder.
JustbeyoHd rose the chimneys of John
Merrick's old stone house, whence she
came.
As she turned she saw her father,
making his way slowly over the slippery
rocks, and waited for him. Capt. Me
lancthon Ward or Captain 'Lank as
the lirayford people called him, was
neither so young, nor so active, as in
the days when he went, master of the
schooner Nancy Jane, "coasting down
cast," in the fishing season, for "freight
and a market."
i"The rheumatics" had given the
old man many a twinge before he was
ready to leave his active sea-life, to
"make port and cast anchor" in Bray
ford Harbor.
He quickened his pace a little, when
he saw Drusilla waiting for him. "Glad
you're here, Zillie, to help me up the
bank," he said.
She took one side of the basket of
dripping bivalves, and they left the
beach, taking a steep, stonj path which
led to the level above. Here, a few rods
back, nestling in its own grove of twist
ed apple-trees, stood their cozy home.
Half way up
and Capt.
of the sail
from 4 the
the path they paused,
'Lank caught sight
Drusilla had seen
Knuckles.' " That
boat's makin' for Little Cove, Zillie, and
somebody steerin' her knows the way."
"Jim Merrick, maj'be they sent him
word that Hannah was failing," said
Drusilla. " When did she go, Zillie?"
and the old man's voice took a solemn
tone, at the question. " A little after
2,"' she answered. "Just as the tide
fell I thought likely." " Was she sen
sible?" he asked as they reached the top
of the path. " Yes, and seemed happy."
44 I'm glad 1 lorgavc her" she added,
presently, more to herself than to her
father. Capt. 'Lank looked at her in
dignantly " Forgive her! What you
talkin' about, Zillie? Why, Hannah

nobody else, as I ever hearn tell

morc store by
I reckon the
Lord's forgiveness was all she ever
needed."
44 Yes, father," said Drusilla, "Han
nah and I always got along well
enough."
Capt. 'Lank limped into the house
with his clams, and Drusilla stopping
a moment to tell her mother how she
had left their neighbors in their bereave
ment went to her own room.
She sat down by the window, which
over-looked the wide, beautiful bay, but
jr thoughts were not of the world
about her. She wanted to recall all
that Hannah had said to her the night
before, and to dwell joyfully on the
thought that Burton Allen was not false
and nckle, as he had seemed.
This time last night, when it was
growing dark, and the storm coming
on, Uncle John Merrick came in.
44 Hannah's very poorly to-night," he
said, after tho usual remarks on the
weather, to Capt. 'Lank " her mother
thinks she won't last the night out.
.She's got a notion to seeyou, Zillie, and
ue doubt I must come over after ye.

44 Oh, she'll go, of course," said Mrs.
"Ward and Drusilla made herself ready,
and went through, the storm and dark
ness to lier vigiPby her dying school
mate. She found Hannah, as her father had
-Baid, 4very poorly," but anxious
strangely 50, she thought (for they had
ver been intimate friends) to see her.
Satisfied with Drusilla's presence, Han
nah fell asleep, and the household soon
retired. Drusilla, left alone, wondered
why Hannah wanted her to-night instead
of Susan.
It was lonely sitting there, in the dim
ligktjwith .only her own thoughts, and
not cheerful ones, for company and to
listen to the surf, thundering on the
beach, and the wind whistling and beat-
ing so furiously against the house; and

the sick girl, but when she had recov-

not bear to think " and she cowered
down in the pillow. Drusilla knelt
beside the bed, striving in vain to quiet
her own agitation, anxious now to
hear Hannah's story, and 3 et afraid to
have her talk. " I bent Burt that letter,
Zillie," Hannah continued, faintly
44 What letter do you mean, Han
nah?" " The letter that made him go
away. Didn't you know? What did
you think it was?" Zillie only shook
her head and hid her faee on the bod.
44 1 liked him so much, Zillie, I didn't
thiuk how wicked it was. I wanted to
get him away from you, and I thought
I hoped, that then "he would care for
me, but it made no difference to me, for
he went awa, and I never saw him
at all. I'm glad now I didn't may be
I wouldn't be so sorry for doing wrong,
and be forgiven, if it had turned out as
I wanted it. Don't cry so, Zillie. You
will forgive me, won't you?" Drusilla
was weeping silently. It was harder
for her thau she had thought to forgive
the girl who had made such trouble for
her even now she scarcely Knew now
but Hannah was so sorry, and so sick ;
she struggled with her own heart and
said sofUj "1 will forgive you, Han
nah, as God forgives me my own sins."
After a little pause, Hannah asked for
some cordial, which Drusilla gave her,
saying as she carefully laid her back,
44 1 hope you will get well, Hannah."
The sick girl sinilwd sadly and said,
44 do not wish it, but I want to tell
you all about it now. Do you know
what made me sick first, Zillie? It was
just about a year ago now, that father
wanted me to go on an errand, one
night, to your house for him. 1 went
beach way, for the moon was bright,
and it didn't seem so lonesome as the
road, and just as I got against Knuckle
Kock, I heard you coming down the
path, laughing and talking with some
one. I don't know what made me, but
1 went close under the rock, and in a
minute you and Burt went up and sat
down there, almost over my head. I
might have jumped up then, and laugh
ed it off, but 1 didn't, and alter that
when you were talking, I couldn't, you
know, and so I heard every word. Do
you remember, Zillie?" Drusilla bent
her head. Would she ever forget it?
the moonlight on the waves ; their low
plashing on the beach, as the tide rose;
and above all, the words Burt Allen had
spoken which had made her so happy
then so wretched since.
44 While you sat there so happy to
gether," Hannah continued, " 1 could
have killed you both I hated you, and
loved him "so. It Ecemcd as if you
would never go away, and the tide kept
rising, till it came up close to me, and
wet my feet, and my dress."
44 1 "heard you say, 'Mothcr'll scold
you, Burt, for keeping me out so long,'
and he said, I'll tell her thru, that Pll
keep 3'ou always.' 'Don'tsay any thing
to-night, Burt,"' you FMd, and then you
went up the path again. 1 ran all the
way home. Father said to me,
4 You've had yur w:ilk for nothing.
Capt. 'Lank's 1h n hero,' so they never
knew I didn't go up to your house. I
was shaking with cld. bat I didn'tstay
to get warm. 1 couldn't sleep all night,
and in the morning 1 was sick some

Bnrt a note. I remember every word
in it. I've said it over a thousand times.
This is it. 4l've thought over what you
said last nignt, and decided that it is
best for us both to forget it. Please say
no more on the subject, but consider me
always your friend.' I didn't sign any
name, but I knew he'd think it was
from you.
44 When I went down stairs, Capt.
'Lank was there wailing for father to go
to town-meeting, and I gave it to hiai to
give to Burt. I haven't been happy
since, Zille, and I never got well of the
cold I took then. Burt went away on
he schooner with brother Jim, thenext
day.
44 When Jim came home without him,
last summer, he said he guessed Buit
didn't seem to want to come to Bray
ford. 44 Last week, mother wrote Jim how
sick I was, and how I wanted to see
him, and I sent a line to him to tell
Burt you didn't write that letter.
44 After the letter went, we had word
from Jim that he and Burt had shipped
for a long voyage, but they'll be sure to
get the word before they sailed and I
hope it will be all right, now Burt
knows."
She closed her eyes, exhausted by the
effort it had required to make her sad
confession then spoke quickly " You
forgive me, Zillie?" 4Yes, Hannah."
44 And you'll ask Burt to?" "Yes."
44 Then I'm sure God will," and a with
sigh of relief she fell asleep.
Drusilla had been so amazed at this
unexpected avowal, that she could not
realize its truth.
Now, in her own quiet room, she
could recall it all, and think of it calm
ly. How could Hannah have sent Burt
that note no.she must not think of that
she had forgiven her. And if the last
week's letter reached
Jim

recent visit to the capital gave a lecture
on some of the natural curiosities of thc
region ovi-r which he presides and is
cmiaced in exploring. Amonc these
may be mentioned as the most novel a '
mountain of obsidian or volcanic glass, '
and a road made from this material. .
Near the foot of Beaver Lake the ex
plorers discovered this mountain of
glass, which there rises in basalt-like I
columns and countless huge masses j
many hundreds of feet high from a hiss
ing hot spring forming the margin of ;
the lake, thus forming a narrier where
it was very desirable that a wagon
road should be, s the glass barricade ,
sloped for some 3U0 feet high at an an-
gle of 45 deg. to the lake, and its glis- 1
tening surface was therefore impassa- j
blc, there being neither Indian nor game ;
track over it. To make the road, huge '
fires were made asainst the glass to
thoroughly heat and expand it, and then
by dashing cold water from the lake
against the heated glass suddenly cool
the latter, causing large fragments to
break from the mass, which were after
ward broken up by sledges and pick?,
but not without severe lacerations of the
hands and faces of the party, into small
er fragments, with which a wagon-road
one-quarter of a mile long was construct
ed, about midway along the slope, thus
making, it is believed, the only road of
native glass upon the continent.
On reaching the Grand Canyon of the
Gibbon River the explorers found the
eastern palisade, for about two miles in
length, to consist of vertical pillars,
hundreds of feet high, of glistening
black, yellow, mott ed, or banded ob
sidian or volcanic glass.
This obsidian has been and is still
used by the Indians for making arrow I
heads and other weapons and tools, and
the mountain has formed a vast quarry '
for the making of such instruments-or
weapons of a quality and quantity une-
qualed elsewhere.
The lecturer gave a graphic descrip- J
tion of 4 Old Faithful," and other gey- i
sers of Firehole Basin, and of the Lib-1
erty Cap and other geyser cones, re-
sembling in their grotesque forms the
monuments of an extinct race. He also
exhibited a number of specimens of '
minerals found in the park, including
chalcedony, amethysts, opals, petrified
wood, lava, etc. " I

In France and Germany very many
more gentlemen affect corsets than in
England. Here at homo it is impossi
ble the custom will ever become what
our English friends call 44 usual." We
haven't the time for the intricacies of
the corset. Even the suspender is get
ting beond the control of the American
man, and a fellow-sufferer wrote to the
New York Graphic not long ago asking
it to request suspender-makers to have
pity on poor male humanity and cease
adding novel machinery to this necessa
ry part of our attire. No. A people
who are frightened at so simple a thing
as a pair of suspenders will never un
dertake the management of corsets,
hedged about, as they are rumored to
1
be, with whalebones innumerable,
stnngs
rS by thevard and holes by the
i. It has not been the purpose, in
dozen, it has not been the purpose
this paper, to do more than mention
as has been done about the whipping
and the spurs. These are themes at
which the pen, that did not falter at cor
sets for gentlemen, wisely stops.

and the analyses of excretions show
that every three hours of hard study

facts should be accepted as proof that
children who are studying hard ought,

adequate food to the end that the

more liberal supply of food and richer

hand work.
There is no way of cooking an apple
that develops its full flavor like baking.
By baking I do not mean putting them
into an old tin or iron pan, and thrust
ing them into a hot oven for half an
hour or so; though even such treat
ment cannot quite spoil them. But
having selected fair skinned, sound
apples and wiped them clean, place
them in an earthen baking-dish with a
little sugar, fill half fufl of boiling
water, and bake rather slowly for one)
two, three, or even four hours! Mrs.

A Diphtheritic Worm.
The five-vear-old daughter of Mrs.
Jennie Marsh, of Waverly, who i3 visit- overhearing a childish conversation be
ing friends in Elmira, was taken with tween the two little ones, in which the
diphtheria shortlv after her arrival vouncest aaid to the other that she felt
here last week, and is yet prostrate,
but doing well. Yesterday morning
the mother,looking in the child's threat,
saw a micrococcus moving. She tooic it
and another out. They are now at
Flood's drug store, and can be seen by
whoever desires. They are easily seen
by the naked eye, though a glass helps
one to the 44 true inwardness" of the ,
critters. The largest one i3 fully one
quarter of an inch long, covered with
hair, with a head something like a cat
erpillar, taperinir body, and long hairy
tail. Its body is formed in rings. Its
color is about that of one of those dark
yellow 44 thousand legged" worm3 found
under old hoards and stones. The
smaller one is about one-sixteenth of an
inch long, bsinsr whitish in color, and
requiring the glass to briag out its
44 beauty" of conformation. It U not a
pleasant thought to imagine such things

are vegetable parasites and exist in large

A Little fJhost Story.
Mrs. G , with her two little girls.
of tho respective ages of 8 and 9 year.
had been stavinrr in the country on a
visit to her sistcr-in law; but having
taken a house near Iondon, she wml
tho two children with their nurse off by
an early train, following herself by one
a few hours later. Toward the evening
of the same day, one of thc little gtrln
walked into a room of the house which
they had quitted in the morning, where
a cousin, to whom she was much attach-
ed, was sitting at his studies, and said to
him : 44 1 have come to say good by.
Walter; I shall never see yon again."
Then kissing him she vanished from the
room. The young man wa greatly
startled and astonished, as he hail him
self seen both the little girls and their
nure off bv the raorninjr train. At this
: very time of the evening both the chii-
day after she was buned, the poor rwv
reaved mother was anxiously waiting
. me iasi ouurs 01 toe uuc u jci., i
j whom she well knew no chance of life
; remained. Suddenly the sick child
woke up from a kind of stupor, and cx-
claimed, "U, loot, mamma: iooc ai
' the beautiful angels!" pointing to the
, foot of the bed. Mrs. G saw notb-
, ing, but heard soft, sweet music, wb!ch
1 stemea to noai in me air. Again toe
cfaUd exclaimed, "U, dear mamma,
there i3 Minnie!" She smiled, and ap
peared greatly pleased. At this moment
M"- G distinctly heard a voice say
) 4I Come, dear Ada; I am waiting for
ou!" The sictc child smiled once
1 again, and died without & utrnggle.
' Lone did the poor mother remember
sure she should die first, and would be
certain to come and fetch her. Mlnnlic
