COMING HOME AT LAST.
On the proposed removalof the remains
of
John Howard Payne to this country.
.Tfle banishment was o verlbny.
But It will soon be past;
The man who wrote Home's sweetest song
-Is coming' homo at lastl
.- Toryara his poor abode was seen
In foreign lands alone.
And wares have thundered loud between
Thls'sln jrer and his own.
But he will soon be Journeying
To friends acroas the sea:
And grander than of any King
His welcome here shall be! '
He cannot come with cheerful brow,
' And step of conscious pride;
He will not hear the tributes now
That fall opvery side;
And when we tell him how hl3 rich
'Sad strains our hearts hav? sought,
He cannot tell the price at which
-The yearning words were bought!
.' And silently this man-must come i
; Unto the waiting throng
. Who gave a trumpet voice tv Home,
Ana thrilled the world with song!
.- He wandered o'er the dreary earth,
- -Forgotten and alone:
He who could teach Home's matchless worth
Ne'er had one of his own.
'N'eath winter's cloud and summer's snnr
Along thefcilly road.
He bore his great heart, and bod none
To help him with the load;
And wheresoever in his round
He went with weary tread.
His sweet pathetic song he found
Had Hosted on ahead!
He heard the melodies it made
Come pealing o'er and o'er.
From royal music bands that played
Before the palace door;
He heard its gentle tones of love
From many a cottage creep,
When tender crooning mothers strove
To sing their babes to sleep:
-. And wheresoe'er true love had birth
This thrilling sorur had flown:
. But he.who. taught .Home's matchless worth
Had no home of his own!
The banishment was overjongr
Hut it -will soon be past;
The man" who wrote Home's sweetest song
iiball-baVe a-hnme at last!
And he shall rest.where laurels wave.
And fraif rant grasses twine:
His'bwcetly kept and honored grave
Fhall be a sacred shrine.
And pilgrims, with glad eyes grown dim,
Wjll fondly bend above
.The man who sung the triumph hymn
Of earth's divinest love.

THE TIGER TRAP.
Captain
Ilarcourt's Adventure
In the
Teral.
A monstrous .tiger had recently ap
peared in the Terai, and was making
terrible-havoc Srcong the native villages.
t If half the stories told of it were true,
' it iuusJ, 'have "traveled by te.egraj.h, or
. at least have, gone quicker than any
tiger.- ever went before: for it vras de
clared by the peasants to have done
mischief on the same night in two vil
lagB3.fuity:lifty mites apart. The ac
coijrits. giveu of Us appearance and hab
its were so utterly contradictory as to
drive poor Captain Harcourt almost out
of his senses; but all agreed in repre-
senting this mysterious" beast as the
largest, strongest, and most ferocious
'"tiger ever seen in that part of India.
What a chance for the sporting Cap
tain! .
The moment they heard that an En-
glish burra sahib' (great master) -had
come among them, having already
killed p'euty of tigers, and meaninjr to
kill as many more as "he could, the in
habitants of all the ueighboriiigvillages
came trooping in a body to Captain
- Harcourt's camp to ofler him theirterv-

ake an end of it as
soou
. as possible.
This was just what our hero would
have been very glad to do; but howev
er anxiqas the Qaptain might be to see
the tiger, the tiger did not seem at all
eager to sec the Captain. One n igbt
. almost have though: that some one had
warned the le:ist of his coming, and
that it wa-s keeping out of his way on
purpose.
One day passed two days three
days. The Englishman and his Hindoo
guides. scoured the forest in every di
" lection, but not a sign of the beast could
they see. and Captain Harcourt, enraged
by'-liK d'sappointnient, was almost as
savage as the tiger itself.
But on the morning of the fourth day
things took a better turn. An old hunt
er ime into the ramp who had actually
se-n the tiger but a tew hours before,
and was ab t not only to give a pretty
exact account of how it looked, but
even to tell wlierea outs it was likely
to be met with. I'eore the man had

of escape, set his .teeth savagely, and
drew himself together for a struggle to
the death. ,
But just then the crack of a rifle
echoed from the thicket, and the trger.
in the very act of springing, reared up
and fell back dead. In another mo

Dealing in "Futures."
Very 'much is" said nowadays about
dealing in "futures," and severe con
demnation is visited upon the practice,
and upon men wlio engage in it per
haps, in s me cases, by persons who do
not take in all the facts, or fully un
derstand what is meant by the word
Tutu res.".
The phrase "dealing in futures" sig
nifies the act of buying or selling for
future delivery.. 1o illustrate: Suppose
iron is to-day sealing at twenty-five dol
lars s. ton. An irnn-TnflTrhmt op i
J speculator! for some reason that seems
a goou one to aim, comes to tne conclu
sion that the demand for iron is to
increase, and. that the price will be
higher. . ith this .view, he goes to an
other iron merchant and agrees to buy
of him a thousand tons of iron, to be
delivered in April, .and be also agrees
to pay twenty-five and a half dollars a
ton for it
This kind of trade, in its simplest
form, is of the very essence of modern
business mcthodsand can no more be
discontinued than can the running of
railroads. Of course it " involves' the
purchase by one Darty of what he does
not at present need, and the sal by
the other of -that which he does not
possess. " -
But let us look at the matter practi
cally. During the summer mouths,
wholesale boot and shoe dealers from
all over the country come to Boston to
buy their goods. The manufacturers
have made up sets of samp.es. Show
ing these to the visiting merchants,
they take orders to sell boots and shoes
like the samples shown, for future de
livery for the summer buying: is for the
coming winter and spring trade.
In this case the shoe manufacturers
sell goods for which they have not yet
even bought the material. And their
practice which is absolutely necessary,
for they could not a&ord to ho'd g ocu
six months is in the fullest sense dealing-
in futures.
Then take the other case of a pur
chase. The treasurer of a cotton mill
knows that he will need a certain num
ber of ba es .f cotton for use each
ra?Jin- . r'J carenwy lntonuiug him-
month
SBUf a,3 h? 3UPIiOSe3. to the cotton
croP' "e ha3Cora to the conclusion that
co'ton .wlU .be worth in JuQe a
price than the present quoted price for
June del very. Accordingly he buys
five hundred bales to be delivered in
that month. If be is successful in his
forecast, he makes'more money for the
stockholders of his corporation than he
would have made had he waited until
he actually needed the cotton.
In 'fact, knowing when to buy aad
when to sell is of the utmost importance
in our modern commerce. And as it
would be not only unjust, but incon
sistent, to .make a law allowing men to
buv for future delivery what taey wiU
need bv and bv. but forbidding men U
sel1 wat hev have not on hand it will
be seen that it is not possible to stop all
dealing in "futures."
Yet it can not be denied that there
are great evils con reeled with thi
fL - 1 Ine ,saIea ol wae
i ,ChhJC!f ,Were f gW
W-holV .amouMt ,of " which
was rece.ved m the city Millions of
..T were uSnt a.na soul oy men
who never really owned one bushel of
wheat This wa speculation pure and
simple. The speculato s merelv made
bets that wheat would rise or" fall in
: price An enormously large part of
this 'so-called trading was done on
"margns"' the speculators paying
only so much of the price of what they
bought or sold as might be necessary to
cover possible losses.
1 hither speculating on margins can
ever be stopped by law is a question
that can not l.e discussed now. But it
should be seen that it is a question en
tirely separate from that of "futures."
For the speculator mav oneratn on &
maroin wflen there is an actual delivery
? goods by the seller: and he may trade
m mtures without depositing a margin.
Another point to be noticed is that in
S6116. th speculation in mtures does
P1 injuriously affect prices. Where
ere 1S a buyer there is a seller. Mr.
DUJ'S v'beat "options" freely be-
J,e thinks grain is fo advance in
tells wheat futures'1
he thinks the nrim i tn
ucame. ,
That is to say, there are speculators
"on both sides of the "market." If
there arc more buyers than sellers, that
is because the general judgment is that
wheat "s to advance; and the reverse is
true when sellers ae in a majority.

WHAT BLTJSLE TURNED INTO.
Blusle wanted to be bad think of
that! She bated to' be good, and she
despised prims," She told Paulina
so close to -her ear, in a violent :whis
per. It might have broken Paulina's heart
to -hear her say such dreadful' things
only that she hadn't any heart to
break.
Perhaps that is one reason why dollies
never do have .hearts to save them
from suffering mental anguish when
their little mammas fly into a tempest
and say dreadful things to them. And
perhaps the -reason why dollies haven't
any nerves is to save them from suffer
ing physicalianguish when their mam
mas get -into a passion and throw aad
bang them about -
On dollies! never wish to be alive!
You are better off as you are, without
life or feeling or hearts or nerves.
If Blusie's dolly had had a heart and
,the.n,6 course,she'd had some brains to
fi with it well, if she had "had, I think
lusie wouldn't havesa'd all the things
she did say to her. She would have
been ashamed to. for she said many
more-cross, naughty things to Paidina
than I have told you oh! many, many
more.. She said even more than usual
lately, for Blusie was'staying with some
very prim folks. ..She told Paulina they
were "very prim folks," so we'll let ft
go that, they were prim, though I never
particularly noticed it myself.

And
when you are tried, of course you are
apt to feel cross; and if you don't dare
say the cross things you feel to the I ig
folks,' for fear of getting punished, who
else can you say them to but dolly?
That is about the way Blu ie felt on
the su ject though she'd never thought
it al out in words, this way. She only
just felt it
You see, Blusie's mamma was sick;
she had 'gone a long way- off for her
health, and the-e 'prim 'folks' were
taking care of Blusie until her mamma
got well enough to come home again.
This morning Miss Gregory called
Blusie back after she had got clear out
to the barnyard to see the new little
calf fed. She said: "Now, Blusie, come
right back and fold up your napkin.
anu put u in tne nog, uuu pick up
J A. a. Al T m -
your oiD-apron on irom iue noor, anu
! ." . - . ll
fold it and lay it over the back ol your
chair."
That's why Blusie called Miss Grego
ry a prim in dollie' s ear. Just for that
little reason making her pick up and
put away her owu things.
About an hour afterwards the other
'Miss Gregory found Hlusie's 1 est sum
mer hat trimmed with white ribbon and'
white curling feathers, laying right on
the parlor floor. Jt had een there all
night just where Blusie 'bad flung it,
when she came home from the matinee
the afternoon efore.
So the "other Miss Gregory" called
in Blusie. This time ?he was clear
across the street, in Annie Sutherland's
yard sitting under a tree, playing have
a party, with Annie.
Blusie was not used to picking up her
own things at home at all. She always
,left them on the lloor and Janet or the
'mamma picked them up.
But the mamma had privately told
the Misses Gregory, before she went
'away, that if they could, by any man
ner of means, break .Blusie of this habit
of throwing her things around, she
would be very grateful to them. She,
the mamma, had neither the strength
nor patience to do it herself.
Well, Blusie felt very indignant to be
called in a second time that morning
just to pick something off from the
floor.
She flew into a regular passion. She
snatched up that best bat of hers bv
one of the ribtons, rushed to the foot
of the stairs, and just tiung the hat up.
instead of carefully carrying it up stairs
and putting it away in the band-box, as
Miss Gregory had told her to do.
Wasn't that shocking? her best hat!
Miss Gregory was even more shocked
than most people would be, for she was
not very much used to little girls, and
she'd never even heard of one like this.
But she did not sc ld; she just led
Blusie up-stairs. made her pick the hat
up again and put it away in tbe band
box, and then she told Blusie she must
stay up there alone until she felt like
being a better-behaved gin.
Blusie was very angry at first, and
that's how she came to be talking away it is so dark that 1 have to strike by
so hard to Paulina that morning tell- wood-chopper's instinct' He would
inor her how she wanted to be bad, and not let me assist him, for he had at
hated to'be good, and all that sort of tained that age when a Southern gentle
thing. I man takes great pride in accompTshing
But Blusie never staid angry very ' a feat alone. It seemed as though the
long, and pretty soon she began to be " tree would never fall. The old man's
ashamed of all the bad things she'd ' strokes became lighter, for his strength
said to Paulina. She wished she had '
not said them, and she was glad no
bodv but Paulina heard her. So she
whisnerpd in Paulina's ear: "I didn't
mean any of the things I said to you.
Polly; I don't want to be bad; I'd
either. And, of course, it is awful to
throw your best hat up-stairs.''
Then Blusie went and leaned over the
balusters, and shouted: "I feel like
being a better-behaved girl mw. Miss "
Grefory. May 1 come dSwn now?"' I
xf?c-"":T.i i.,Vo.i ,.t the fiirMisj
Grccrorv. and smiled, and then she an
. J ... . .. - I
swered "Yes." and Blusie came down.
Blusie stayed with the -Misses Greg
ory for nearly three months, and every
time she left anything thrown around
one of the Misses Gregory was sore to
discover it and Blusie always had
to come in, no matter' bow busy she
was at her play, and put it away.
She found it was not a bit of use to
get angry she bad it to do.
So. like a sensible girl, tor the first
time in 4er life, she tned to be careful.
And she got oh so well, wben once
he began to try, that she soon became
almost as orderly as the Misses Greg
ory themselves.
And when, at hut she went heme,
shewes
es the most orderly person in the 1

Ajed so, you see, Blusie herself tamed
into "a prim."

What the Prince of -Wales Might - Do.
The outlook -before the Prince of
Wales is-not-particularly briljiant At
forty-two .a man gets" weary of the
eternal rqund of society, and it .may be
belieyedand hoped that the Prince is
sick of the e iipti'-headed "set" of tho
past, and that bear-tights between his
butts aud buffoons, Aylesfords, Cron
mels. t-tc., have ceasedto have charms
for him. But the career open to the
eld -st son of a Dnk is closed to him.
Nothing, as matters stand, 'can change
his nosition save the abdication or death
of the Queen. Indeed, he is even worse
off than his bro hef-in-law in Oermany,
since .he has at least actively and honor
ably partcipated in real life in the

less, must after a' while be apt to pall,

some twenty years more passed in that
fashion may be ridt altogether cheering.

a statesman who has given so
man in his time as Mr. Gladstone.
Suppose, for example, as these two
pace the Sauds at Cannes some after
noon this week, the Prin e were to say:
" I'm sick to death of this playing at
work. 1 want to .have some share in
political life. Can not something: be
found lor me?" -and the Prime Minis
ter replied- "Well. sir. unless we could
make some arrangement by which you
could be permanent Viceroy of Ireland

not do that." and then the Prince were
to rejoin: " Wouldn't I? I'd be de

dynamite and daggers with the rest. If

Even if am kille ? there are the bovs,
Alfred and Arthur." Whv. in this
case, we can imagine tnat manager
Gladstone might produce another of

which the public has learned to expect
from him. Windsor Castle "would

How Western Fanning Pays.
Whether they go West or not Eastern
farmersare inferesied in knowing the
value and yield of Weslern farm prod
ucts. The Wesf ern farmer's life is quite
ditietent and no less laborious than that
of his Eastern brotlu r
In the first place he i mightily stim
ulated to work by the size and needs of
his-larm. hy the " oss bilities of increas
ing 'N pro.luctinu aud value, and by
the rapid actions of h s neighbors.
Work, work, work, an immense amount
of it. Mares him in the face all the year
round. Hs haayy farm work opens
early in March, aud from that fme till
Thanksg.ving. or even till Chrstmas,
his work presses heavily upon him. Its
or er t abed as follows: Sowing wheat
and oats, plowing for corn, rolling the
wheat and o.it hinds, planting the orn.
roli ng. harrowing plow'nsr it, hay "ng.
liar est in the wheat and oats and per
haps arlcy. stacking, threshing, fall
plowing and corn picking. During the
winter he will have nothing to do but
loo'c a'tcr his large herds of cattle and
other stock, prov.de fuel, aud market
his corn and grain. It is during this
period th it the children go to school
and the '.oimg fellow takes his girl
sleigh-rid'ng. and old and young turn
out to attend the"- spelling" school. A
period of partial rest, pleasure and ex
uberance of spirits, for your Western
farmer is full of dry humor, and a lover
of good hone-t jikes. He usually owns
1 sii)-acres (a quarter seet'on) of" land,
keeps about four good horses, and hires
a man to help him, unless he has a boy
ten years old or a little more who is equal
as most boys of that age are to tho
management of a team.
Xo'WVstern farmer ever speaks of
one horse as a tufn. Nor will you see
one man in a hundred driving a s.ngle
hor-e. His usual cotive3:ini e is a sub
sta'itial Tour-wheeled wagon with two
or four "horses attached, while, on Sun
days, hi trots more briskly aioug be
hind his uvll-fed team, in a buggy.
Western horses are well-kept and are.
as a rule, cons'derablv larger and flesh
ier than the farm hoists of .New En
gland. Plenty of oats corn ami goul
hay tell the .story The Western farmer
has less small jobs an! putterings
ai'iiiinit than his Eastern brother; though
the little jobs which he does have t do
vex him sorely and are oft complaiued
of. But most of his work he does in a
large, generous way. He puts in sixty
aeies or wheat- anil as much of corn.
He buys au additional eighty acres and
turns it into a pasture for his colts and
cattle, he gets up earli. foods well, for
almost without exception he is a gen
eruiis provider. .Much goes to waste in
doors ami out. but he would rather have
it this way than be called n:ggardly.
lieef an ! "pork, turkeys and chickens,
butter and eggs, llour an I vegetables,
all these. are products of his nwn farm.
No wonder thai he provides well.
His hired man would leave it not
ted mi a generous diet of I eel good
bread, chicken, eggs. Iteit of butler,
cheese, vegetables mid fruit. lies an
epicure, .? this Western hired man, who
will be a farmer himself in live years
more. And the hired girl has her ideas
jf things, and high and exacting they
often are, the supply doe not equal the
demau I, and she" is well aware of t It
lact Uut despite these drawbacks the
Western farmer gets ahead. The signs
of thi-. are evident in improved fences,
iu l-etter brn-, in a new, larger, and
more onunodious house aud in the ar
raug. ments of crops and machinery,
and iu the iiicrea-ing numbers ot his
stock, lie raises all the way from ten
'o thirty bushels of wheat and" thirty-live
to sixty-live of corn to the acre, aeeord-iii-
to'lhe'varviiij; conditions of soil and
weather. "Jo feeds Ins lam.iiy iiiaini
from what he raises. He has a good
surplus of corn and grain to sell, oitcn
fimes some hay and. if he be a well
managing tanner he h:is a goodly num
ber of hogs and fat steers to put upon
the market, at good price. In theso is
his profit, when he can sell his hogs for
six cents and his steers for live cents a
pound as they stand; ho is making a
tine percentage upon money invested in
them. But his property is steadily rising
in value, lie uotigui lor ten uoi
lars or five dollars, or if he was an
original settler one dollar and twenty
five cents per aero. Now, being well
fenced and well mproved, aud having
good buildings, and being reasonably
near to a large village anil the railroad
it is worth forty or fifty, or possibly
sixty dollars per acre. And the man
who surveys a half section of good land
thus improved, free of debt, and who
has large n. mbers of horses, lattle and
hogs, is an independentman and on the
road to wealth; whose condition is more
enjoyable than that? Such a man. sit
ting'down in his maturer years to enjoy
the fruits of his toil, frugality and fore
sight He has now a pleasant healthy
lite, younger feet run and younger
shoulders bear the burdens, but he plans
and oversees. He is much abroad, he
has money to spare and knows how and
when and" where to turn it to the best
accoiur. He has time to enter the
political field, or to intro luce new ma
chinery, and new and improved breads
of stock. His judgment carries weight.
He fills out a large and honorable man
hood. If now he is the noblest type of
man and the West has not a few such
he becomes .a'grcat blessing to his
family and, tbe community in which ho
dwells and docs what he can in thn in
terests of education and of religion.
He has made himself a large place and
filled it to the best of his ability. Muz-
