ON AN OLD WOMAN SINGING.
Sweet ttro the bc-iiks that I tore heart
From green boughs and the building bird;
n cuiijjren bubbling o'er with tuno
He sleep still held me half la swoon.
nd surly bees hummed everywhere
Their drowsy bass along the air:
From hunters and tho hunting-horn
Ucfore the day star woke the morn;
From boatmen in ambrosial dusk.
Where, richer than a puff of musk.
The blossom breath they drifted through
Fell out of branches drenched with dew.
And sweet the strains that come to nc
When In ureal memories I see
All that full throated quiring throng
Oo streaming on the winds of song;
Her who afar in upper sky '
Sounded the wild Valkyrie's cry.
With golden clash of shield and spear.
Singing for only gods to hear; .
And her who on the trumpets blaro
Scsg "Arg-l-i Ever IJrlght and Fair."
Her voice, her presence, where she stood.
Already part of angelhood.
Itut never have I heard in song
Sweetness and sorrow so prolong
Their being as hushed music rings
Along vibrating silver atrings
As when, xvlth all her eighty years.
With all her fires long quenched in tears,
A little woman, with a look
I.Ike some flower folded In a book,
Lifted a thin and piping tone,
And like tin- sparrow made her moan,
Forgetful that unothcr heard.
And sang till all her soul was stirred.
And listening, oh. what Joy and grief
Trembled there like n trembling 1-af 1
The Mraln where flrst-lovc thrilled the bars
Ileneath the priesthood of the stars;
Tin- murmur or soft lullabies
AlKixe deir miroimcntlng eyes;
Tho hymns win re once her pure soul trod
The heights alxne the hills of Cod
All on the quavering note awoke.
And In a silent passion broke.
And marie that tender tun" and word
The sweetest song I ever heard.

Itlatchford, 1k;-
fore she bail her husband
umlcr her
thumb and held complete sway over
everything and cerlidy uliout the
place.
Itlatchford was her slave from the
fir.st. and with him her word was law.
Whatever she wished she had, and
whatever she commanded to be done
was done without delay. She married
Itlatchford for his money, and she was
determined from the first to have it
A month or so after his marriage
Rlatchfonl liegan to study aliout his
daughter, and the more he thought of
her the more he became convinced that
he had ill treated her. In short, after
so long a time he came to the conclu
sion that he was as much to blame as
Mary, and, knowing that she must be
suffering privations, he decided to ex
tend to her the hand of friendship and
offer to her and .lohn some pecuniary
assistance. Having come to this con
elusion, he hastened to mention the
matter to his wife for her sanction.
Sarah listened until he had unfolded
his plans, then with uplifted hands and
staring eyes exclaimed:
"Well, did I ever hear of such a thing
as that! Hiram Itlatchford. have you
lost all your senses?"
"Why. Sarah," Hiram replied, taken
back, "what's the matter?"
"Matter?" Sarah related. "Well. I'd
a never a believed it. never."
"Never lielieved what?" Hiram asked.
"Why. that you could ever have been
taken with such fool notions. Hiram.
Whoever heard of the like of it?"
"Why, I " Hiram stammered and
stopivd.
"Why, you." Sarah put in, "want

there is of it. The idea of you making

and own that I was in the wrong. Yes,
Fd do all that, and beg her with tears
in my eyes to come back to my arms."
Sarah--"

"J know what yon thought.

and didn't you do. everything for her
that a father could, do?"
"Yes, that's true." Hiram replied
with no little inward satisfaction, and
with a growing feeling that he was a
much abused p: -cnt-
"Thcn you have done your duty, Hi
ram, more than your duty, and if any
body is to bend the knee let it be the
one who has done wrong. T don't be
lieve in a father being made a slave to
the whim and wishes of an ungrateful
child. If 1 had ever had such a father
,'s you, and had ever crossed him in one
jsh eyep, I never would bave forgiven
JVWtV
myself. I couldn't ever looked the
world in the face after being bo heart
less and ungrateful. Oh! Hiram, what
a noble, loving, forgiving nature you
have, and how unfeeling must have
lccn the child who could so ruthlessly
trample upon it."
At this jxnnt the good Sarah, who all
along had shown strong symptoms of
weeping, was so overcomo that she
could restrain her tears no longer, and
broke down and poured forth in a per
fect flood on her husband's shoulder.
Hiram was deeply touched, and he was
forced to exert himself to keep back the
tears of self pity that welled up in his
own eyes. He had never before real
ized how deeply he hud lieen wronged,
and never lcfore had he understood
how much lie had lccn martyred. His
heart went out to himself, and he pitied
himself from the bottom of his soul.
"There, there, Sarah," he said, "don't
let the tenderness of 3'our heart cause
you to grieve too sorely for what I have
been made to suffer. I promise you
that I shall not forget my wrongs again
soon, since the weakness that povsessed
me for a short time is gone. No, I'll
never make any advances to a child
who so far forgot her duty to me and
treated mo with such cruelty, and I am
glad that you recalled mc to myself in
time to save mc from taking the step I
had anticipated."
Sarah cheeked her tears and by de
grees her sobbing ceased. The effort
she had made had lcen a great one, and
her soul was terribly sore from the
effects of it, but she had saved her hus
band from abusing himself and sinking
his dignity, and she was satisfied. Of
course she hnd saved him from all ex
pense on Mary's account and kept that
much more- raoiicv for herself, but that
would not count for anything with such
a noble soul as that of the angelic Sarah.
"Hiram," she said when she had got
her feelings sufiieicntly under control
to be able to cease her tear and sobs,
"I hopo I have not said too much. I
am sorry that your daughter cannot oc
cupy the place in your heart that a child
should occupy In the heart of a parent,
and I know I would lie tho last person
to aid in estranging you from her. Per
haps I have said too much, but I have
your good so deeply at heart that I
couldn't help saying what I did. It was
all for the sake of your loving, generous
self."
"I know that, Sarah. I do not mis
understand you. I know how It pains
you to have to say such things, but you
feel it to lc your duty, and you do It. I
thank you, my dear wife, with all my
heart, for 3'our disinterested mindful
ness of me. Ict us now drop the sul
ject and try to forget it. It is not right
that you should afflict yourself with
thoughts of otic who is so far lieneath
you in point of goodness, and I will try

Sarah, and perhaps in time forget.
There, we willfay no more about it."
The good Kamh was quite willing" to
let the snb4t rest, since she had
gained her sfct. Dinner being at
that moment' Mnounced, she went out

even the food-necessary to stay the
pangs of hunger. And yet he condoled
himself andHmngincd that he had a
wounded hetftrhe, a man who was as
void of hear jas the veriest flint.
A week or o after the incident de

letter from tn adjoining state, in which
letter she wai informed of the death of
a married sinter. Her sister had left

"Hring them right along," Hiram

Ah! old man, where wns your con

not prick you when you thus opened
your home to a horde of strangers, and
admitted them to the place thnt lie
longed to one who needed it more?
Where was your good angel that it did
not whisper to you of tho sorrow and

that moment laid with your own hand.
Hitter, bitter will lie the regrets follow

may follow at a long distance, they will
surely follow, and terrible will be their
weight when at last they come.

CHAPTEtt V.
MOTOEK AND DAUGHTER.
With their dearly secured "accommo
dation" John (Ireen's family mar ged
to get through the winter without suf
fering anything 1 vond severe priva
tions. Their el and fare was, of
course, common . limited, but that
was nothing so Ion j as it kept them
from starving and freezing.
It was a long, dreary winter, especial
ly to Louise, off on the prairie, with no
friends Jar companions, and no books
or papers, and with nothing to do but
to drag idly through the days. The
nearest neighbor lived two miles away,
and. that lcing Mnrkham's, they might
as well have lieen forty miles away for
all the good they were to Green's, for
since that night when Markham talked
so abusively to Louise there had been
no intercourse lictween the two fam
ilies, Louise grew pensive and melancholy,
and it was plain that she longed for a
different life, though she never uttered
a complaining word. Once shortly
after Christmas she and her mother
were alone in the cabin, and after they
had sat a long time silent Louise sud
denly said:
"Mother, I wish 1 could manage some
way to go on with my education."
"So do I. Louise," Mary answered:
"but 1 can't think of any way that it
can Ik? managed. If we had the books
I could help you with your studies, but
we haven't tho money to buy books."
"I know that mother, but I was
thinking that I might borrow some."
"1 don't know who you could borrow
them from. Iouise. I don't suppose any
one about here has them."
"I know who has them," Louise re
plied, "but I don't know whether you
would want me to get them of him.
Paul has lots of books that he brought
from school with him, and he hasoftan
proposed to let me have them."
"Paul Markham?" Mary asked.
"Yes," said Louise; "he has the books
I need, and he has begged mc to take
them."
"Louise," Mary said after awhile,
"you know how old Markham talked to
you that night you went to the store,
and you know we have had nothing to
do with them since, and you know that
we can't accept any favors from laul."
Louise urose and going to the win
dow stood for a minute or so lookiaf
s
oat into the snow-eovered prairie.
Unconsciously site let a sigh escape her,
and, though it was soft and low, the
quick cars of her mother caught it.
"Louise." Mary called, "don't fret
about the books, for we shall try to get
them soon."
"It is not the books, mother," Louise
replied as she came and put her arms
nlwut her mother's neck and laid her
face on her lwsom. "I can wait for
them."
"Then what makes you sad, my
child?" and Mary stroked her daughter's
hair and tried to lift the bowed head.
"What is it you sigh for?"
"I I'm afraid you and pa do not like
Paul," and Louise buried her face
deeper.on her mother's breast. "He is
so good and generous, and is all tho
frierid I have in the world aside from
3-ou two, and I'm afraid you do not like
him."
"Why, I'm sure I have nothing
against him, child. He is a quiet, hon
est, industrious young man, and if it
wasn't that he is a Markham I couldn't
say a word against him."
"He is a Markham. mother, but he is
not like his father. He Is as generous
anil kind as he can Ih, and I do wish
you and pa would be friendly with him."
Mary !vgan to have a suspicion of
something underlying this nncommou
interest felt by Louise in Paul, and for
several minutes she was undecided how
to proceed. Finally she took the girl's
bend in her hands and lifted it up until
the face was opposite her own, and if
she had wanted any further evidence to
confirm the truth of her surmises, she
would have found it in the telltale
blushes that swept over the fair young
cheeks.
"Louise," she said, "don't keep any
secrets from me. but tell mc why you
take such a deep interest in Paul."
"Ik-cause don't think mc sill', moth
er, for I can't help it. I love him."
These last words were spoken in a
faint whisper, but Mary understood
them, and drawing her child, to her,
pressed her close to her bosom, and
thus they remained for a long time.
Mary was the first to break the silence.
"Paul shall never receive anything
but the kindest treatment from me,"
"LOUISE, TOU ARK YOUSO TKT, A JOEBE
CHILD."
she said, "and I know John will treat
him as a gentleman. Paul is a good
man, and if you love him ho shall have
mv love.-0'
i4
rThank you,
would like him, for my
will like him better wlfen vou know
how good and noble ho ii
Then unothcr long silence fouowed,
after which Mary said:
"Has Paul spoken b you of love,
Louise?" j
"No, he never has. That is, not ex
actly." "And arc you sure jjou love him?"
"I know I love himymamma, he is so
good and kind, and k all the friend I
have aside from you md pa."
The mother smifcd faintly at tho
girl's earnestness aad stroking the soft,
brown hair gently .said:
"Louise, you nri young yet, a mere
child, nnd I'm afraid yon do not kuow
your heart as well as you think. You
rhp.vc a-grgflV- ? wa j fmm) s m la
apt to have for a good friend when
friends arc few. Yon admire his kind
ness of heart, for, poor child, you have
known little ctxnigh of such in your
life. You like nnd esteem Paul alove
all others, but perhaps you may not
love him. Iov is a broad and a deep
thing, and you arc too young to under
stand what it rtally is (io on thinking
of him as you do. if yon wish, nnd al
ways treat him with the kindnest con
sideration, but do not go lieyond that.
1 f he speaks to you of love do not en
courage him, and make him no prom
ises. Tell him that you are young and
that I wish you to wait a year or two
longer before you enter into any com
pact affecting your whole future life.
Rut perhaps this is all unnecessary pre
caution, lie has said nothing, and per
haps he may not say anything for a
long time. It may be are you sure he
loves you, Louise?"
"I know he does, mamma. I I can't
tell you how I know it, but I do know
he loves me: nnd some day he means to
ask me to be his wife. I am sixteen
now. nml in a year or two I shall be a
woman, and then he will speak and
you will not object. Will yon?"
"No, not unless I have better rear
sons than I know at present Rut a
year or two is a long time, Louise, and
we need not consider now what we
will do then. It may not be necessary
for me to say aye or nay to Paul, for
you may see him differently then. You
may see some one else that may sup
plant him in your heart"
"Oh. mother, that Is impossible! No
one can be to me what Faul Ls I could
not be so ungrateful as to give him a
second place in my heart, when he has
lieen so good to me."
The mother smiled again. She was
assured from these last words of her
daughter, that Louise had mistaken her
heart, and that what she felt to be love
was only gratitude and friendship.
She understood how easily one of
Louise's age. and one placed as she was,
could deceive herself, and she could not
believe that the child knew her own
heart For a long time she was silent,
and for a time doubts, fears and misgiv
ings possessed her. She realized how
easily one of the girl's age and temper
ament could be deceived. She was in
experienced, and knowing nothing of
human nature, judged all mankind by
her own standard, and reckoned all
hearts like hers, pure, innocent and
honest Whether she reaUy loved Paul
or not he was her idol, and she looked
up to him as a paragon of perfection,
and was that confident and trustful that
she would not, and could not doubt him
in anything.
Such thoughts as these ran through
the mother's mind, and she trembled
for the safety of her child. Then she
recalled all she knew of Paul, lie
was a man of perfect character, and
in all the years she had known him he
had no been guilty of an ungentle
manly act This review of the yoang
man's "'past somewhat reassured her,
and she felt- thankful that it was Paul
who heH such an influence over her
daughter. She was far safer with him
than with most men.

Washinoto?t, Nov. '2.1. At a meeting
of post office inspectors held hero the
subject of money order and register
systems were discussed at length. II
the recommendations mado to the
postmaster-general and tho legislation
asked of congress is granted, it is be
lieved that there will bo some radical
changes in the methods of conducting
postal business in the United States
Some very marked changes arc recom
mended in the working in the money
order system. These contemplate the
issuing of money orders for any amount
upon all first-class offices; a maximum
order of SMJOin second-class oflices, S30C
in third-class offices and S100 in fourth
class oflices. For money orders of &C
or lest. those which the working classes
use a reduction in the fee will be rec
ommended to a figure two or three
cents less than that now charged by
express companies for the same amount
Another important change recom
mended will be to keep money-order
offices open a certain number of nights
a week to an hour later thnn 9:3'J. In
the registry business it is proposed to
change the present method of dispatch
ing registered letters from post oflices
by substituting a linen-lined envelope
with a 12-ccnt stamp upon it for this
special purpose Instructions will be
printed on the envelope and they can
be mailed at any letter box without
necessitating the sender going in per
son to the post office, as is now required
by the postal regulations.

English Cattle l(alra Apprehensive
flur Jarrr.
Loxnox, Nov. 2S. Sinco Secretary
Rusk reported in favor of excluding
Kngllsh llvo stock from tho United
States unless tho restrictions on
the landing of American cattle
at Hritish ports should bo re
moved, Rritish farming societies
have actively discussed tho subject
The balance of opinion among
live stock dealers distinctly supports
the attitudo of Chairman Chaplin, of
the board 'of agriculture, on the subject
"V-Tmers' journals are giving prom
inence to announcements of recent
outbreaks in New Jersey with a view
to enforcing the argument that
before the United Spates govern
ment can legally claim aorihuion
for American cattle it must satisfy We
British government that pleuro
pneumonia is so extirpated that no
cases have occurred in twelvo months
in any part of tho union. It is con
tended that if Secretary Rusk's in
tended prohibition ls effected no
country will suffer so much from the
absence of pure bred Rritish live stock
as the United States.

Paris. Nor. 2H. According to trust
worthy information, by tho terms of
aiiutara maniasr iimt b sa ur
man and Austrian neighbors in the
event of a conflict lietween France and
(Icrmany, Italy -would be compelled
to mobilize 200,000 men without dolay j
in the Alps, to mobilise her fleets to
make a naval demonstration off Corsica
and to bombard the Algerian sea- j
lioard. In case of war breaking out
between Franca nnd Italy, (Jermany '
would mobilizo tho eighth, fourteenth j
and fifteenth nrmy corps of Alsace and
Radcn, nnd hurl them into the Vosgcv '
The engagements binding Austria and I
Italy are less precise and of n wholly
diplomatic nature. Tho Austrian fleet
would only go to the assistance o: Italy
if the status quo were disturbed ia the
Mediterranean.

Hawaiian Lslnndv who was sent to

V aslungton some time ago to secure
modifications of the reciprocity treaty
between Hawaii and thb government

have resulted in the negotiation of an
entirely new treaty which provides
for absolute free trade be-
twecn the two governments
in the prolucts and manufactures of
bjth countries. The treaty has been
signed by Dr. Smith and by the repre
sentative of the I'nitcd States, through
whom the negotiations were carried
on. It has been in the possession of
