A FOREST HYMN.
The flowing sua is riding- high
Amid the arches of the say.
Dreamy air Ilea still.
Xo soma disturbs the leafy glade
Bare that by busy wood bill made
Upon some ancient trunk, decayed
Calm brood o'er vale and hill.
In each an hoar I love to stray
From haunts of toiling: men away,
' 'Mid forest depths profound;
There, ip a bliss of solitude.
Where no dull cares of earth intrude.
And Nature breathes sweet quietude
The grand old trees around
The heart by daily care oppressed.
The wearied spirit flndeth rest,
As, pillowed on the sod.
With nought above but leaf and sky,
Ab4 loving look of Heavenly Eye.
Perchance with angels hovering nigh,
I dream or Nature's God.

"STAR-SPANGLED BANNER."
The Thrilling; Event Which In
spired This Patriotic Song.
A piece of news was borne acrosa the
Atlantic Ocean in May, 1814, which
chilled with apprehension every Ameri
can heart: Napoleon Bonaparte had
been overcome by the- allied armies of
Europe, and was safely imprisoned on
the island of Elba! This intelligence
notitied the American people that the
fleets and armies of Great Britain,
which for twelve years had been waging
war with France, were now disengaged,
and would have little to do, and would
be free to overwhelm and crush 'the
Republic of the United States. We
were then in the second year of that
contest with Great Britain which we
Htill call the War of 1812. It was a
summer of alarm, and the whole coast
was alive with the bustle of defensive
preparation. "
The invasion came. The enemy's
ships entered Chesapeake Bay about the
first of June, a fleet of frigates and
lighter vessels. In August Admiral
Cochrane entered the bay in a great
ship of eighty guns, bringing with him
a fleet and three or four thousand sol
diers, which increased the British force
in those waters to twenty-three men-of-war
and an army of ten thousand troops
and mannes.
Every one knows what followed. The
country was invaded, Washington was
sacked and pillaged and its public build
ings burned. The enemy retired with
considerable loss, it is true, but triumph
ant and exulting. It was a dearly
bought victory, for it silenced opposition
to the war, kindled the national feeling
and enlisted every heart in the country's
defense.
A few davs after, the British forces
made their second attempt upon that
coast. Baltimore, then a city of forty
thousand inhabitants, enriched by the
prosperous commerce of the last quarter
of a century, would have been a valua
ble prize; and would have given the foe
a bold of the shores of the Chesapeake,
from which they would have been dis
lodged with difficult. Washington was
but a straggling village, without milita
ry value. Baltimore was a command
ing position, capable of being defended.
Two miles below the city, on a point of
land jutting into the water, stood then,
and now stands. Fort McHenry, so
named after one of the early .statesmen
of Maryland. Sturdy arms and williner
hearts had been laboring there for many I
weeks to strengthen its fortifications !
and get additional guns into position,
under the direction of Lieutenant
Colonel George Armistead. The time
had been well employed, and the gal
lant commander had a modest confi
dence in his ability to repel the imposing
fleet of Cockburn, which now consisted
of more than forty vessels, and carried
seven thousand troops. The fate of
Baltimore depended absolutely upon his
holding this position.
The star-spangled banner which
floated over the fort had been made by
a lady of Baltimore, Sirs. Mary Pickers-
fill, aided by her daughter. These
adies, full of the patriotic feeling of
the hour, made a flag worthy of the im
portance of the occasion, ft contained
four hundred yards of bunting. It was
so large that the ladies were obliged to
spread it out in the malt-house of a
neighboring brevverv.
When Mrs. Kickersgill's daughter
was an old lady of seventy-six years,
she used to describe the scene.
"I remember," she wrote, "seeing
my mother down on the floor placing
the stars. After the completion of the
flag she suerintended the topping of it.
having it fastened in the mot secure
manner to prevent its being torn awav
by ball-;. Ihe wisdom of her precaution
was shown during the engagement,
many shots piercing it. but it still re
mained firm to the staff. . .My mother
worked many nights until twelve o'clock
t to complete it in a given time."
The reader will see in a moment tiie
significance of this statement. But for
the firm and faithful stitching of these
two patriotic ladies, we should probablv
have had no song of the Star-Spangled
Banner.
September the Cth the great British
fleet left its anchorage -iu Chesapeake
Bay and sailed for Baltimore'; and en
tered, the Patapsco Rieer. upon which
the city stands, live days after. Twelve
miles below Baltimore, thev landed
seven thousand men. Happilv, the
brave Marylanders and Pennsvlvanians
were ready for them. Three 'thousand
militiamen, voluuteers from Maryland
and Pennsylvania, commanded bv Gen
eral' John Strieker, well-posted and
well-intrenched, withstood this great
force, killed their commander. General
Ross, and forced tb'iu finally to aban
don the attack: "
wane inee events were occurring
the great ve-el in the Brith fleet
moved up the river, .auehored before
Fort McHenry, and began to pour upon
it that tempest of shot, shell and rockets,
which the author of our song lias com
memorated. Every gun was heard in
Baltimore. Wc cau well imagine the
feelings of its inhabitants during the
twenty-four hours of its continuance.
, The author of the song, Francis Scott
Key, was not a combatant in the battle,
although he witnessed it from beginning
to nd. During the first operations on
that coast Admiral Cockburn and sev
eral officers of the British army occu
pied as their headquarter a house at
Marlborough, belonging to an aed
physician of the place. Dr. Beancs,
whom they detained as a prisoner, lest
he should &end the news of their land
ing to Baltimore. He was a particular
friend of Mr. Key and of his family.
Hearing that the doctor was about to be
carried oft" by the enemy. Key obtained
permission from the commanding Gen
eral of the American forces to' go to the
British fleet under a flag of truce, and
make an attempt to procure the old
gentleman's release In a letter to his
mother, written just as he jras about to
start upon this errand of friendship, he
wrote:
"I hope to return in about eirht or
tea days, though it is uncertain, as I do
not know where to find the fleet"
He set sail from. Baltimore about the
third of September, and found the Brit
ish fleet atjthc mouth of the Patuxent
boud for the attack on Fort McHenry.
He weat o board the vessel of 'Admiral
Cochrane, to whom he stated his et
nasi, aad asked for the release of Dr.
! Tie Ad-nyral received hi
Wilfctfcertacwt civility, but inform
him that he could not comply at pres
ent with his request, and was obliged
even to detain Key himself and his ves
sel .until the operation' upon Fort Mc
Henry was concluded.
The Admiral's vessel being over
crowded, he sent the American gentle
men on board of the frigate Surprise,
commanded by his son, Sir Thomas
Cochrane, where they spent the night,
and thus moved on to the. attack.
During the bombardment of the fort.
Sir. Key and his friends, including Dr.
Beanes, were sent on board their own
little vessel, nnder a guard of marines,
and thus they were afforded an oppor
tunity to witness the 'action.
Of all the thousands of human beings
within hearing of that bombardment,
there was-probably not one so fitted by
nature and education to be moved by it.
Francis S. Key, then thirty-five years of
age, a lawyer in good standing at the
distinguished bar of his native State,
was a son of John Ros Key. an officer
m the -army of the Revolution. He had
been noted from his youth up for the
ardor of his patriotism, and he had at
tempted more than once to celebrate in
verse the gallant deeds of his country
men. He had a habit of dashing down
lines and stanzas that occurred to him
on any old scrap of paper that came
first to his hand, and several of his
poems were gathered up by his friends
from the litter of his office.'
AH day the bombardment continued
without 'ceasing. During the whole
night they remained on deck, following
with their eyes the continuous arcs ol
lire from the enemy's ships to the fort.
The anxiety of the' poet, and the littla
company of Americans about him, grew
only more intense when darkness cov
ered the scene, and they could form no
conception of the progress or the probable-issue
of the strife.
Snddenly, about three in the morn
ing, the firing ceased. As they were
anchored at some distance from the
British vessels, they were utterly at e
loss to interpret this mysterious silence.
Had the fort surrendered?
As thevwalked up and down thedeek
of their vessel in the darkness and si
lence of the night, they kept going to
the binnacle to look at their watchVs to
see how many minutes more must elapse
before they could discern whether the
flag over Fort MeHcery was the star
spangled banner, or the union jack of
England.
The daylight dawned at length. With
a thrill of triumph and gratitude, they
saw that "our Hag was st-Il there."
They soon perceived from many other
signs that the attack, both -by land and
sea. had failed, and that Baltimore was
safe. Tliev could see with their glasses
the wounded troops carried on boar
the ships, and at last the whole Br'.tist
army re embarking.
A few minutes after the dawn of that
glorious day, when Ihe poet first felt
sure of the issue of the battle, the im
pulse to express his feelings in verse
rushed upon him. He found in his
pocket a letter, and he wrote upon the
back of it the first lines of the song. In
the excitement of the hour he could not
go on with his task, but he wrote some
further brief notes and lines upon the
letter. Some lines he retained in his
memory without making any record of
them. When his guard of marines left
him free to hoist anchor, and sail foi
the city, he wrote out the song on the
way, very nearly as it now reads, and
on reaching his hotel in Baltimore he
made a cleau copy of it. The next
morning he showed it to his brother-in-law.
Judge Nicholson. Chief Justice of
Maryland, who, Judge as he was, had
commanded a company of volunteers in
Fort McHenry during the bombard
ment. We may be sure that suck a Judge
read the song with no critical eye. So
delighted was he with it, that he sent it
round to a printer, Benjamin Edcs, who
had also commanded a comnanv of
troops in the late ojierations. Au" ap
prentice. Samuel Sands, who was living
in Baltimore in 1878. instantly set it in
type, an in less than, an hour it was dis
tributed all over the city of Baltimore,
received by every one with enthusiasm.
But what is a song without music?
An old Baltimore soldier told in after
years how the words came to be so
happily wedded to the music to which
it has ever since been sung. A group
of volunteers lay scattered over oue of
the green hilLs near Baltimore a day or
two after the bombardment.
"Have you heard Francis Key's
poem?" said a member of the company,
who had just come in from the town."
He took a copy of it from his pocket
and read it aloud to them as thev lav
upon the grass. It was called for
again. He read it a second time, and a
third, more soldiers gathering aliout to
hear it, until the ' whole regiment
seemed to be present

rushed into a tent, 'seized his brother's
music book, used by both of them for
their (lutes, examined piece after piece,
and at length cried out:
"Boys. I have' hit it!"
He had selected the air of a favorite
old English song, called "To Anaereon
in Heaven," written by John Stafford
Smith, about the year 1772. It wa
composed for a musical club which met
a? the (Urown and Anchor Tavern in
London, frequented by Dr. Johnson and
Sir Joshua Reynolds. As soon as Fer
dinand Durang had selected the music,
he mounted a stool aud sung it to his
assembled comrades with all the fire
and apirit of which he was capable. Au
eye-witness says:
"How the men shouted and clapped!
for never was there a wedding ot poetry
to music made under such inspiring in
fluences. Getting a brief furlourhrthe
Brothers Durang sang it in public soon
after. It was caught up in the camps,
and sung around the bivouac fires, and
whistled in the streets; and when peacs
was declared, and we scattered to our
homes, it was carried to thousands of
firesides as the most precious relic o?
the War of 1812."

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
4 S7.MH lledcliamber that lias Caused
a Xawaait iu yew York.
A' remarkably lawsuit, In Which John
A. Morris, a millionaire of this city, and
M. N. Cutter, local architect, have fig
ured prominently, has been decided by
JiidroDnnolmeiniavorof thn former,
Thesuit involves perhaps the most ex-
pensive bed-rogni ever constructed. Mr.
Morris has a large country establish
ment at Throgg's Neck, Westchester
County. In October, 1882, he decided
to have a private bed-room built for his
cwa use, and called in Mr. Cutter, who
wsis to formulate plans. It was said at
the trial that the reason the addition
ws mad.: was b?eause when -Mr. Mor
ris slept, he snored so loudly that the
noise disturbed the other sleepers in the
house. Mr. Morris' specifications called
for a total expenditure of .$.5,500. The
bed room was to be located over the
carriageway, and access thereto had
through a private bathroom which con
nected with Mrs. Morris' sleeping
apartment, ue room was to he twenty-four
feet square, and, except that it
should contain an English fireplace, was
to be in keeping with the main house
externally and internally.
After "giving these "directions Mr.
Morris and family went south for the
winter. Although the main house was
built entirely of wood, the architect
provided that the western side of the
addition should be an arch of brown
stone and brick supporting a chimney
forty-five feet high, shaped like a cham
pagne bottle perforated by a bull's eye
window. On the eastern end he ordered
an elliptical bay window, although that
of the main house was semi-polygonal.
Thus the exterior, as Mr. Morris claims,
was made to represent a blast furnace
or fai-tHry. It was iu the interior, how
ever, that the architect seems to have
given full play to aestheticism. The
English fireplace was to have behind it
a concealed heating chamber resting
upon a block of stone weighing seven
thousand pounds. As this mass of rock
rested on three slender floor pieces it
naturally settled and pitched the fire
place forward, somewhat after the
manner of the leaning tower" of Pisa.
The ceiling of the bedroom was to con
verge into a dome lighted with opales
cent antique Venetian stained glass with
brilliaut glass jewels, the forms vari
ously symbolizing months of the year,
e. g.", holly for December, mistletoe for
January, " and "Morning." "Night,"
"Music." "Architecture," etc. The
room was to be finished in fancy cabinet
style, with fine carvings, arabesque
work, carved friezes, cornices, panels
of l"aves aud flowers carved and cut
through a ground of embossed and
pa;nted leather. The eeiliugs and dome
were to be trimmed aud hung'with em
bossed leather aud wood carvings. The
gas-fixtures wqre to be of antique brass,
Cyprus copper, oxidized silver and man
ufactured to order after the architect's
special designs. Iu one corner of the
room a plate of metal was to be sunk,
upon which a brass bedstead should
stand. Other concomitants specified
by the architect to the carpenter were
equally elaborate, imposing and expen
sive. By the pleadings in the suit it
appears that the brick and brown stone
masonry was to cost over $5,000. tho
carpeutery, exclusirc of the interior,
over 3,000, the ironwork over $1,300.
the interior finish over $12,000, furni
ture over $2,000, one pair of iron and
irons $105, a grate fender $150, and a
coal-hod, lire-set stand, brush and bel
lows, $111. The total for these and
other luxuries, exclusive of furiiituie,
was over $27,080, or $21,500 more than
the contract with Mr. Morris called for.
The only cntrauce to this palatial bed
room was through a private bath and
closet
The carpenter had expended some
$9,000 when, becoming alarmed, he
wired Mr. Morris, in Florida, that he
had received- an estimate for ) art of the
interior finish of $5,971. Mr. Morris at
once wrote Mr. Cutter that he had re
ceived a telegram from the carpenter
that absolutely appalled him, and de
sired to know "what the whistle might
cost if he went on." At the same time
he wired the builder for full details,
and asked what was meant by "interior
finish." When'he learned what was go
ing on he wrote the following letter to
Mr. Cutter:
"I gave you authority to draw de
signs for a room to co'st no more than
5s-,wu. i on sent me a month since
same designs which were perfectly ab
surd on account of the expense which
they involved, and I wrote you a letter
which it struck me any one" would un
derstand. Now you amuse yourself by
forwarding another lot of designs for
furniture for a room which will not be
built with my consent. Can I say any
thing to you which will make you un
derstand that I shall never do any of
the extravagant things you propose,
and in fact there is nothing you can
propose in the future that there is any
chance of my doing?"
At thcpanie time the builder was di
rected to complete the addition, disre
garding the architect's plans of the in
terior. Mr. Morris then sued Mr. Cut
ter for damages amounting to $16,775.
The latter retaliated with a suit against
Mrs. Morris, who owned the cottage,
for $1,262.08. his commission as an
architect in planning this addition to her
premises. The former suit has not yet
bees tried. The latter was begun last
Thursday !efore .Fudge Donohuc and a
jury in the Supreme Court. On Mon
day morning the complaint of Mr. Cut
ter was dismissed upon the merit, the
plaintiff having fa'led to establish his
case. There was a large attendance of
architects and builders. In this cele
brated eae, which has been running
some two year.-,, ihe architect was rep
resented by Mr. John Henry Hull and
Mrs. Morris by Mr. Charles E. Codding
lon. Ex-Judges Fullerton and Cardoa
were also counsel for defendant on the
trial. .V. 1". Oraihir.

ary. Ths jtume of woman, from a hy
gienic point of view, is mueh discussed
at present and the vexed question of
tight lacing and of skirts too numerous
and heavy for the forms which sustain
them is considered with patient thought
fulness by medical peaple and female
reformers. However, all this great ex
penditure of time and attention will
doubtless result, as it has hitherto done,
in no possible change :u dress save that

The evils of lacing are in general ex

possible that if men wore a species of
corset they would enjoy an immunity
from the effect of violent cold and main'
disorders from which thev now suffer.
The ancient beau of an age more foppish
than our own was not unfamiliar with
the art of lacing, and there is no record
of his being injured by it.
The exposure to cold in wearing low
Beck dresses is certainly one which
affects the health of women more im
mediately than the wearing of corsets,
and the thin-soled slippers and high
heels of the day are also causes of cold
and consequent disturbance of the sys

TIGHT LACING.
Mate of the Kvlls Brought ea by Et
Compression.
xjgu mcing nas oeen conaemneaior
many centuries by writers dating as
far back as the reign of William Unfits:
and in France a moralist of the fifteenth
century says mat dresses were "so
century says tnat dresses were
trSut Q the waist that they can hardly
respire in them, and often suffer much
pain by it." Here, be it observed,
however, that corsets, although the
most convenient, are not the only
means of tightening in the waist.
Dresses worn without corsets may be
laced so tightly that the unfortunate
wearer can hardly breathe, and bands
fastened firmly round the waist so as
to serve the same purpose.
Perhaps that inner striving after
higher life, which is thought to be the
especial prerogative of men, is the
cause of the notable fact that univer
sally human beings are dissatisfied
with their own natural characteristics.
Thev wish to make nature hurrv nn tn
their ideal of what ought to be, and
they therefore trv to improve upon her.
More than one nation compresses the
skulls of its infants to make them long,
broad or flat, as it chances to think
best. Some tribes consider it vulgar
to have white even teeth like those of a
dog, so thev file them down, color them
and subject them to various other kinds
of treatment with a view to fitting
them for their dignified position in the
mouth of a man. Other nations, with
much pain, tattoo themselves in ele
gant patterns, raise knobs of flesh on
their faces, and stick large bones and
shells through the lobes of their ears
and the cartilages of their noe$. It is
not so very long since all Europe con
sidered it impossible for children :'to
grow straight without being swaddled.
How could nature be expected to do
her work unaided?
If we were to take a girl the natural
size of whose waist was twenty-four
inches, put ou her a small pair of slays
and draw those stays in till the waist
measured sixteen inches only, that girl
would faint almost immediately, and,
unless the stays were opened," would
probably die frbm failure of the heart's
action owing to mechanical pressure
on the heart one of the evils brought
about by the external compression.
But if we were to take a girl of the
same age and height, whose shoulders
and hips measured the same, but who
from childhood had been gradually
accustomed to tight lacieg, we should
find that, with a waist of only sixteen
inches, the vital functions were still
being performed, although, aa might
be expected, health was feeble, for not
one organ of her body on which the
pressure had been exerted would be in
its right place.
The deformity caused by tight stays
is unfortunately generally effected so
gradually during the years of growth
that the sufferer is unconcious of any
harm. Moreover, just as the Chinook
infant will cry when its head bandages
are removed, so the woman whose body
has been crtfthed out of all semblance
to its natural form by the gradual ap
plication of pressure by stays, each
successive pair of which is tighter than
the last, will exclaim if her corsets are
takcu away: "I could not exist with
out their support. My back aches
without them, and I feel as if I were
falling to pieces." X. Y. Herald.
THEORY VS. PRACTICE.
Well Ktablished Theories in the Hand of
Unskilled lractitloner.
How often the failure of well-established
theories, in the hands of un
skilled practitioners, bring disgrace
upon both! The difference betweei
theory and practice is frequently sup
posed to reflect discredit upon, or to
prove the worthlessness of theory,
which is a mis-take. A theory that' is
true can not lose its value, because in
bad hands it does not seem to accord
with practice, and while mere theory
is more helpless than mere practice,
the advantage of theory and practice
over practice only has" been demon
strated over and over again iu live
stock as well as every other business.
A most striking illustration of theory
vs. practice was only recently fur
nished, quite accidentally to the
writer. A young lad, having under
taken to assist in some work involving
the sawing of a number of pieces of
board into exactly equal lengths, un
took that part of the job and exercised
the greatest care in measuring his
boards one with the other, yet when
his job was done, be was puzzled and
mortified to find in some of his pieces
nearly halt an men difference in length,
and in many of them an eighth or a
quarter. To the blunt declaration of
his senior, that he had measured the
pieces indiscriminately with each other,
instead of measuring all from the orig
inal one. he faintly expostulated that
that ought not to have been nece-saiy,
inasmuch as it was a well understood
principle that two things, equal to a
third, must be equal to one another;
nevertheless, he admits now that he
understands the difference between
theory and practice. Perhaps the il
lustration may be suggestive to some
of our young theorists who have not
yet tried to put their theories in prac
tice. Lice Stork Journal.
Glucose Meal.
Glucose meal, or as it is now called
gluten meal, is the waste of the manu
facture of glucose or syrup from corn.
Acids aud alkalies were aud are used
iu the process, and not all of these cor
rosive substances are removed from the
waste residue which is dried and offered
by the manufacturer, as cows feed at
a price more than the original value of
the corn. A ton of corn in Chicago is
worth about sixteen dollars, but a ton
of gluten meal is held by the manufac
turers at twenty-two dollar's aud Wty
cents. This must be a profitable price
for a wa.te product, and the exorbitant
value is fixed by the scientific process
of estimating the protein contained in
it at exactly the same value as that con
tained in good oats or wheat bran.
This is the same delusive process by
which roasted leather, utterly useless
a a fertilizer, is valued for its nitrogen
on a par with guano. In truth,. farmers
have little to thank "scioiice" for when
it is made the instrument for defraud

THE RETRIEVER.
U3 WIiim ServiriM in the Field
Coiisiilei-eii liiliien-tallt-.
Ara
The term retriever is in itself suffi
ciently indicative of the duties which
this breed of dog is called upon to carry
out. and these duties can, it is univer
sally admitted, be successfully per
formed by many arieties besides the
one in question. In fact, the very crea
tion of the retriever proper, as he now
exists, is, comparatively speaking, of
but recent date. Up to the time of the
introduction of this class of dog, sports
men were compelled by force of circum
stances to rely upon the serviees ol
their other sporting dogs, and the ma
jority of the pointers and setters and
spaniels were broken to retrieve as well
as to point the game. There are cer
tainly many object '011s to this practice,
as there is considerable difficulty in
keepiug pointers and setters who have
been broken to retrieve their irainu
steady in the field. The presence,
therefore, of a well-broken retriever
is considered indispensable to a shooting
party under most circumstances, and
invariably so when beaters" are em
ployed. In consequence, probably, of
the recent introduction of the retriever
as a distinct variety into the dog family,
there are numbers of very inditlereiit
and unworthy .specimens, to use a mild
j- expression, of the breed to be found in
all directions. Jhe-e may. we think,
reasonably be considered to ba the re
sults of some of the many experiments
that no doubt have lieeri made from
time to time in breeding this sort of
dog. which experiments in many cases
have turned out disastrously for those
whoso fertile brains conceived the cross.
At any rate, the almost countloss num
ber of black dogs which are seen in all
parts of the country, and which are in
variably styled retrievers by those most
interested in them, 'would cause it to
be supposed that their owners, for the
most part, are honestly under the
belief that in doing m they are
describing the animals correctly." It is
not, however, only to sporting Hoga
alone that the art of retrieving game on
land or in water is confined, for many
breeds of dogs which are by no means
identified with sports in popular estima
tion can be taught to do so easily by
any one with patience eaough to under
take their education. As a matter of
fact, we have ourselves owned bull ter
riers which would do this retrieving
business well enough; but still they
always failed in one essential, mputh.
The tenderness of a good retriever's
mouth has more than a great deal to do
with his value as a workman; it is
simply essential that be is not hard
mouthed, and does not injure fur or
feather in carrying it in his jaws. In
this respect a vast number of what
would otherwise be very good retrievers
' ail, and become worthless in the field,"
for a dog that mangle's his game before
he brings it in would be certain to gain
but slender thanks for the assistance he
leuds a modern sportsman- Book of th'
Dog.
