YOU.
If I could have my dearest wish futsUed,
AM' take my choice of all earth's treasures,
too.
Or choose from Heaven whatsoe'er I willed,
I'd ask for you.
No man I'd envy, neither low nor sigh.
Nor Kin In castle old or palace new,
I'd hold Uolconda's mines less rich than I;
.. I had you.
Toil and privation, poverty and care.
Undaunted I'd defy, nor fortune woo.
Having my wife, no jewel else I'd wear.
If aho were you.
Little I'd care how lovely she might bo.
How graced with every charm, how fond, bow
true;
E'en though perfection, she'd be naught to me,
Were she not you.
There Is more charm for my true loving heart.
In everything you think, or say, or do.
Than all the Joys that Heaven could e'er im
part. Because it's you.

AN UNPLEASANT SURPRISE.
"Louise," said Miss Harrison, paus
ing at the foot of the stairs on her way
through the hall from the kitchen to the
sitting-room. "Are vou ready? I think
I hear the sleigh-bells."
"Oh, aunty!" called back a girlish
voice from a bedroom at the head of the
stairs. "I haven't even begun to dress.
Do come up and help me, please."
"My dear child! Why, I supposed
you were ready long ago," said Miss
Harrison, as she entered her niece's
room. "What has been the matter?"
"I became so interested in that book,"
replied Louise, indicating with a nod a
volume lying on the floor by the table,
"that I forgot all about the sleighing
party," and as she spoke she caught a
dress from one of the hooks in the
closet, and threw it over he head.
"Stop, stop," said her aunt, "don't
put on your dress until you change your
skirt, Louise. I see that the ruffle has
been torn almost all the way around."
"But I pinned it on again," said the
girl.
"Why did you not sew it?"
"Oh, I hadn't time. Never mind, it
won't show. I can't stop to find another
skirt now."
"But surely you are going to arrange
your hair, Louise," said Miss Harrison.
"It is in a most untidy condition."
"I mussed it lying down on the sofa.
But it will have to do as it is. I haven't
time to fix it now," and Louise hastily
buttoned her dress and tied a scarf
about her neck. "I'll put my veil on
and it won't show. Where's my ulster?
Oh, there's the sleigh stopping at the
door now," and she seized her hat and
caught up a pair of gloves lying on the
window sill.
"Louise, stop, my dear. "Don't run
off half-dressed. Your shoes are not
even buttoned, and the lingers of those
gloves are all out. Where can I look
for another pair?"
"I don't know, I'm sure," hurriedly
answered the girl. "Never mini.
I'll keep my hands in mv muff," and
tying her veil about her hat, she ran
down stairs and out of the front doorl
before her aunt could utter another
word.
By the curbstone a large sleigh,
drawn by four powerful horses, stood
waiting. It was filled with happy
faced young people, and as Louise ran
down the steps, a young man pushed
aside the buffalo robes and sprang out
to meet her, a general smile going
round as he did so; for Harry Valiant's
attentions to Miss Harrison's niece had
been too marked during the past few
weeks to escape notice, and had caused
a good deal of gossip in Briartown.
Harry was a general favorite by vir
tue of his wealth, good looks and pleas
ant manners, and he had already ac
quired considerable reputation as a
lawyer. So there was a large number
of young ladies in Briartown who would
willingly have exchanged places with
Louise in his regard, and who thought
it rather hard that his choice should
have fallen upon one who was compar
atively a stranger to them all. For
Louise's home was in a large city sev
eral hundred miles distant, and she was
visiting her aunt for the first time.
The sleighing party had been ar
ranged by the young lawyer in Louise's
honor, and it proved a very important
event in her life; for, coming home in
the moonlight, Harry asked and ob
tained her consent to become his wife,
subject to the approval of her parents.
Miss Harrison was sitting up for her
nie.ee when at ten o'clock she came in,
her eyes sparkling and her cheeks
Hushed with excitement.
"Aunt Margaret," she said, throw
ing herself on a hassock at the laity's
feet. " I am just the happiest girl in
the world. Can't you guess why?"
"I think lean, Louise," said Miss
Harrison, in a low voice. "My dear
child, you are to be congratulated.
Harry Valiant is one of the finest young
men "I have ever met."
" And you don't think father will ob
ject?" " Why should he? I think he will be
very much pleased that you have done
so well. And you must try to make
Harrv happy, Louise."
"(3h, I shall, of course," said the
girl, with a little laugh. "I will begin
at once to copy after you, Aunt Mar
garet. You are as nearly perfect as any
woman I know."
Her aunt smiled.
" I do not think Harry will find you
unamiable or exacting," she said. " I
only fear. "
"That I will shock him by my care
less habits," interrupted Louise. "Now,
you know that was what j-ou were go
ing to say. Aunt Margaret."
" Something like that, my dear. Of
course, when you marry you will live at
home with Mrs. Valiant. Harry would
never desert his widowed mother. And
there is not a neater housekeeper in
Briartown than she is. I don't think
you could get a teaspoonful of dust if
you poked in every crack and chink of
her house."
"I shan't ask her to let me try,"
laughed Louise. "But, really. Auntie,
1 think you are inclined to exaggerate
my untidiness a little Surely it is not
a crime to have one's shoes unbuttoned
or a collar loose? The horrid pins never
will stay."
"They would stay if you put them in
properly, Louise," said" Miss Harrison,
firentlv. "But vou don't seem to think
neatness or order of the slightest ini-;
nnrt,npi "
" I haven't been brought up to give
them much thought," that's a fact," said
Louise. "At home everything js at
sixes and sevens. Yet we all get on
well enough. As mother savs: 'What
is the use of worrying about little things
when we have minds to improve and
cultivate?' "
Miss Harrison sighed.
"One need not neglect self-improvement
while looking carefully after the
ways of the household," she said. "But
I must not keep you up any longer, my
dear. It is time you were asleep. Go
to bed now, and perhaps to-morrow I
may be able to conrinoe you that it will
be veil for you to have a little more re
tard for Heavea's first law when you
(boobm Harry Valiant's wife."
"I tear you. will find me incorrigible,
Aunt Margaret," said Louise, as she
left the room. " 'What is bred in the
bone will come out in the flesh,' you
know."
A troubled look came upon Miss Har
rison's face as the door closed upon the
graceful figure of her niece.
"So pretty, so talented, so accom
plished and so amiable," she murmured,
"and yet I fear her one fault will bring
her manv a heartache in the future."
Miss Harrison accompanied her niece
to Mrs. Valiant's to make a formal call,
and Louise thanks to her aunt's care
was so beautifully and neatly dressed
that Mrs. Valiant, sharp as 'were her
eyes to detect a flaw, had no fault to
find, and was completely won by the
voung girl's charming manners and
lovely face.
"I can congratulate you, Harry, with
all my heart, she said" to her son that
evening. "I liko Miss Louise so well
that I hope you will soon bring her
home to me."
"And you will like her still more
when you know her better, mother,"
said the young man, much pleased by
this praise of his betrothed. "She is
wonderfully clever. Young as she is
only twenty, you know she has already
written several essays for scientific mag
azines, and helps her father continually
in his law work."
" I think you have every reason for
believing she will make you happy,"
said Mrs. Valiant as she bent over her
son and kissed him tenderly. " But
Harry vou know my hobby is she
neat? That is a virtue of great im
portance in my eyes, sinco you are to
make your home with me."
"And in my eyes, too,'' said Harry,
smiling. " The necessity of order and
cleanliness has been so impressed upon
me from my youth up, that a slovenly
woman is my especial aversion. But I
have never seen Louise otherwise than
well and neatly dressed, mother."
" MLs Harrison Is a model house
keeper, I know," said Mrs. Valiant,
" and very probably Louise's home is
as well kept.
"I will take notes for your special
benefit when I pay her my first visit,"
said Harrv, laughing.
Three tfays after her call upon Mrs.
Valiant Louise was summoned home by
the illness of her mother. Harry ac
companied her some distance on her
journey, and promised to visit her as
soon as his business would permit him
to do so. Meanwhile they were to cor
respond. Mr. Harrison having given
by letter his free consent to their en
gagement. It was a cold, rainy day in March. A
very dismal, uncomfortable day, Louise
Harrison thought as she sat in her bed
room and looked out on the muddy, wet
street. Before her was a small table lit
tered with writing materials, fancy
work, patterns, and various odds and
ends. But she was not working, for
she had just received a letter from
Harry m which he announced the
tileasant news that he would be with
ter on to-morrow, and she could think
of nothing else.
" I wonder what time he will call,"
she murmured, as she opened' the letter
for about the tenth time and scanned
the closely-written pages. "I must have
the parlor fixed up and tell Susan to
build a fire in the grate."
At this moment the door opened and
her father, a tall, handsome, but rather
careworn-looking man, entered.
" Why, father, I supposed you had
gone to your office long ago," said
Louise, looking up in surprise.
"No; as usual breakfast was late,
and I've been looking for the last hour
for that bundle of newspapers I put on
the shelf of the library closet a week
ago. Some one has meddled with them,
of course, and they are not to be found.
Can't you make a search for them,
Louise?"
" Certainly," answered Louise, with
cheerful alacrity, "and if I find them I
will bring them down to vour oflico this
afternoon. A walk will do me good,
and I don't mind the rain at all."
" I want them as soon as possible.'
said Mr. Harrison. "They are of im-
fortance as reference in a case that I
ave coming up soon. Is that a letter
from Mr. aliant? and when are we to
have the pleasure of seeing him?"
"To-morrow, " answered Louise, blush
ing, "and I am sure you will like him,
father."
" I hope so, my dear, for your sake.
But will he like you if you appear before
him in that wrapper? It strikes me that
your toilette is calculated to shock any
well-regulated young man out of all
sentiment."
" How you love to tease, father,"
said Louise, laughing merrily. "You
know very well that nothing would in
duce me to appear before Harry in such
a state as this, and she glanced down
at her dress, an old woollen wrapper,
faded, worn, soiled, and bearing the
marks of various ink stains. "I have a
new blue dress to wear. Blue is his
favorite color."
Mr. Harrison smiled and left the
room, and Louise, only waiting to put
Harry's letter safely away in the top
drawer of her bureau, ran" down stairs
and into the library to search for the
papers.
Never had her appearance been lets
attractive. It amply justified her father's
remark, and would have given her
aunt, could she have seen it, the heart
ache for a week. The soiled wrapper
was minus a belt, and hung loosely
about her; her hair, gathered in an un
tidy knot at the batik of her head, was
held in place by a broken comb, and a
dilapidated ruche surrounded her
slender neck. She wore no cuffs, no
pin at her throat, and the braid which
should have bound her dark petticoat
trailed on the floor for nearly a yard
behind her. A pair of black slippers,
worn at the toes, and run down at the
heels, completed her costume.
While searching in the library closet
for the papers, she came across a book
on a subject which had interested her
deeply, and forgetting everything else,
she threw herself into a chair which
stood before the open grate tire and be
gan to read. '
So completely absorbed did she be
come that she did not mark how time
was flying. Her slippers fell off, and
her feet, clothed in dark stockings, sad
ly in need of darning, rested conspicu
ously on the fender. But she heeded
nothing, had thought for nothing but
the book which so fascinated her. She
was unaware that the library door had
opened, and that a young man stood
upon the threshold, regarding her with
eyes in which astonishment and disgust
could be plainly read.
Nothing was lost "to his view. The
soiled, ink-stained wrapper, the untidy
hair, the dilapidated ruche, the slipshod
slippers and tattered hose made up the
details of a costume such as he had
never seen before, and which he fer
vently hoped he might never see again.
"Louise!" -e
" Harry!"
With a face suffused with blushes.
Louise sprang to her feet, lettiag the
book fall with a crash to the floor.
"I found that I could get off a day
sooner than I supposed when I wrote
you two days .ago," said the young
man, in a voice so stern that the girl
scarcely recognized it as that of her
lover, " and I aid not 'telegraph, think
ing to give you a surprise. I- fear, how
ever, that it is an unpleasant one for us
both," and without another word, and
unmindful of the look of entreaty in the
eyes of his betrothed, he turned on his
heel and left the house.
Louise cried herself to sleep that
night. She saw that there was but one
course open to her to pursue. The next
day she wrote to Harry, releasing him
from his engagement.
His answer was to return to her all
the letters she had written him.
She never saw him again, for her
Krjde would not permit her to revisit
riartown, and run the risk of meeting
him there, and she steadfastly declined
the urgent invitations of her aunt, who
would gladly have been instrumental
in bringing the young couple together
again. " 7
Years-have passed, and Louise Har
rison is well known in the literary cir
cles of her nativo city, and has. many
friends who both love and admire her.
But she has never married,' and the one
hitter enemy of her life is that dark
March day when her young lover gave
her an unpleasant surprise. 7orenc
B. Ilallowdl, in Chicago Standard.
FoUlagthToid Folks.
An interesting elopement, not in point
of romantic novelty, but for the ob
stacles that were woven around tho
primrose path of the youthful lovers,
came to light yesterday morning. Late
Wednesday night duriu'g the heavy
thunderstorm, a light biggy; drawn by
a speedy bay horse, drew up in front of
the Farmers' Ifome. A rustic lad, with
a shrewd, determined look, alighted. J
Throwing a silver dollar to the porter
that stopped up to take charge of his
baggage, he ordered night lodging for'
his horse, with strict injunctions to
scrape him well and have everything in
good trim, by tho next morning. It was
plain from the froth that covered him
that he had done some good traveling.
The young man then registered in the
office as Joseph Shield, of Fairfield, and
ordering a light supper retired, but be

called for a long rope that would be
found in the buggy, 'giving as his ex
cuse for this strange action that he was
morbidly afraid of fires ia large hotels.
He was given a room in the rear of the
building. Just before daybreak an
other buggy with a frothing horse
checkecLup before tho .hotel. Twoiero-cious-looktng
fellows stumped into the
hotel, and seizing the register ordered to
be shownto that "scoundrel's room,"
pointing to Mr. Shield's- name in the
book. They refused tp give any reason
for such a demand,, except ;tbat ' they
wanted that fellow "and must have'him.
One held a -"buggy-wKip0 threateningly
in his hand while tho.other made some
secret inquiries as to, the person who ac
companied.the youngman, and whether
"anygifrhad been seen with Mm. ' As
the proprietor held out persistently in
refusing to allow them to seize the young
man unless they were vested with such
authority" they let out the socret of
their visit. They hung around the
house till it was bright daylight.
About six o'clock- a man was sent up
to the room of young Shield to awake
him, as ordered. When the door waa
opened it was found thatrthe bird had
already llown. The window was raised,
and a rope that swung from the case
ment of the window explained the mys
tery. The two strangers soon afterward,
made a second visit to the hotel and
were much enraged at the way in which
they had been foiled by their supposed
prey. Later in the morning a messen
ger called with a note, asking that the
horse and buggy be sent as secretly as
possible to Wenzel anil Market streets,
where the owner would meet it. Soon
afterward the happy couple were speed
ing on their way to" Jeffersonville, where
they were united as Miss Annie. Meyers
and Mr. Joseph Shield, of Fairfield.
When the tw -strangers Teamed the
successful way in which they had been
beaten they gave up the chaseiand told
the whole story. The bride ls,a beauti
ful country girl about seventeen years
of age and daughter of a wealthy farmer
near Fairfield. Her parents' objected tp
the marriage of their daughter on ac
count of her age and advised her to
wait. Finding this would not do they
made threats which only brought mat
ters to a hastier close. The young man
secured his father's best horse and bug
gy, stole his bride from the house, and
getting a fair start was fully an hour on
the road before the elopement was dis
covered. The two brothers, as soon as
they found the course love had taken,
followed the chariot of the young bride
and groom. Several tiraetsthe buggies
were in sight of each other. Toll-gates
were passed unheeded, antl the whole
course to town was one protracted race.
The lovers had the advantage of tho
fastest horse and the lightest rig. They
entered town several hours before their
pursuers, and the bride was left at tho
liou.se of a relative near the head of Mar
ket street who had been let into the
scheme. Louisville Commercial.
Slang Words and Phrases.
Just listen for a moment to our fast
young man, or the ape of a fast young
man, who thinks that to be a man he
must speak in the dark phraseology
of slang. If he does anything on his
own responsibility, he does it on his
own "hook." If he sees anything re
markbly good lie calls it a "stunner;"
the superlative of which- Is a "regular
stunner." If a man is requested to pay
a tavern bill, he is asked if he will
"stand Sam," If he meets a savage
looking dog he calls him an "ugly cus
tomer." If he meets an eccentric man
he calls him a "rummy old cove." A
sensible man is a "chap that is up to

but "blows up; never pays, but
"stumps up;" never finds it difficult to

The Great Mississippi Torsade.
Apart from the great fatality and
destructiveness of Sunday's torna
do in Mississippi the phenomenon
is of special interest as a type
of the Mississippi Valley whirl
winds. The. tornado struck the town
of Beauregard at Jfour o'clock in the af
ternoon, which is the mean hour at
which such tempests are experienced.
Extended observation indicates that
these, storms generally form in or near
the southwestern quadrant of deep ba
rometric depressions, where the warm,
moist Gulf currents are brought in con
tact with relatively cold, dry currents
from the northwest. In this respect
the formation of the Beauregard tor
nado was normal, the deep depression
which on Saturday was central in Col
orado having moved on Sunday over
the Southern States. The usual local
Eremonitions high southerly winds,
eavy thunder and the deep "rumbling
sounds occurred for some miuutes bo
fore the tornado wind proper struck the
town. In a still more important par
ticular this tornado conformed to the
apparent rule, that in the opening of
the season the grand tornadoes descend
on the Gulf States and then extend
their geographical range northward
with the sun's movement in declina
tion. These facts, are of the utmost impor
tance as exhibiting the manner in which
tornadoes are generated and borne
along, and as showing that they may
bo prevised and predicted a few hours
at least by local observers. The "ter
rific gale" from the northwest" which
struck West Point, Miss., at twenty min
utes past twelve p. m. on Sunday was ac
companied by torrents of rain and "the
largest hail ever seen" there-. This cold
gale was the signal that the only factor
requisite for creating tornadoes (tho
warm current from the Gulf haviug
been previously set up) was supplied.
The West Point gale which must also have
been felt at places lying north and west
of that town, took place over three and
a half hours before the Beauregard tor
nado did its most fatal work. It is ob
vious, therefore, that, with the baro
metric conditions known to be- thru ex
isting in the. South, telegraphic warn
ings might have been .cut.by local ob
servers at any points where the uorth
west gale was felt in time to put ex
posed towns on their guard against the
desolating meteor. In such cases. a.
we recently pointed out, local weather
telegrams "may often he the means of
forewarning imperiled districts, and ou
the approach of a tornado a single half
hour's forewarning may often Imj the
saving of many valuable lives. It is to
be hoped that the States lying in aud
north of the Ohio and Lower Missouri
valleys, especially those which have
already State weather services, will luae
no time in arranging a system of tor
nado telegraphic warnings in anticipa
tion of the dangers to which they may
be. increasingly exposed from these
frightful tempests. -Ar. Y. Herald.
Curious Use of Eggs.
Comparatively few persons are prob
ably aware of the fact that eggs are
used to any extent except as an article
of food. Yet such is the case, and there
Is an establishment in this city one of
three in the United States which
utilizes large numbers daily. A curi
ous reporter for the I'ttion recently paid
a visit to the Albumen Paper Com
pany's works on Water street. The lirst
sight which met his 'vx was an im
mense basket of eggs. The reporter
made known his wishes to a represen
tative of the company, who kindly, in
answer to numerous questions, gave all
the information in his power. As above
stated, there are only two other albu
men paper factories in the country, one
being located in Camden. N. .1.. and
one at Philadelphia. These three firms
supply the 7,000 photographers in the
United States with the peculiar kind of
paper necessary for their business. The
manufacturing season begins in tho lat
ter part of February and continues until
near the lirst of the following Decem
ber. During the season the Rochester
company Uses on an average about 200
dozen eggs (2,400) per day, which
makes a total of about .00,000 (600,000
eggs) per year. Grocers in the sur
rounding towns furnwh the greater part
of the eggs, which must be perfectly
fresh. Some idea of the extent ef the
business may i obtained from the fact
that paper "sutlicieiit to print 200,000
photographs has been prepared in one
day. The paper used is of the finest
quality and is imported from France.
The reporter was shown into a room
where a young lady was busily engaged
in breaking eggs and separating the
whites from the yelks. The whites a.re
prepared by a chemical process and
then spread "over the surface of the pa
per, leaving it glossy as seen in the pho
tograph. Noticing that the yelks were
also carefully preserved, the reporter
inquired if it was possible to utilie
them, and was answered in the affirma
tive. They are nearly all sent to.Iohns
town and Glovcrsville, where the glovers
Use them for dressing kid. The skin
antl velks aru placed together in a
trough and tramped upon with the feet.
A finish Is thus imparted to the skins
which is obtaiuablo in no other way.
Information was volunteered to the ef
fect that a large number of the dogskin
gloves and kid shoes worn so extens
ively arc nothing more than sheep or
calfskin dressed and finished with the
yelks of eggs. Colonel S. S. Kddy's
morocco factory is the only establish
ment in this city using yelks in dress
ing leather. Mr. Kddy said he also
used the whites to .some extent, but only
in the finishing of the roan leather.
