1 One balmy morn 1 wander'd forth, with spirit
. bill he and gay.
' To list each worb ling- chorister, attune bis
matin lay;
To see upon the fragrant mend, the rose and
lily fair.
And Flora's smiling sisterhood, that had as
sembled there.
The harebell with the violet, in sweet profu
sion grew.
And with them bloom'd the buttercup, that
quaff'd bis fill of dew;
Inclose commune, the tiollyock the hedge

Sccm'd to tho poppy whtsp'rlner love, that
I languished at bis side.
Tdoi

And ev'ry flower that caught a ray, held on
, its leaves a star;
His dancing beams shone bright upon the
l winding stream and lawn, -And
kiss'd the reverend trees which sccm'd
to welcome iu the morn.
The variegated lilac the hawthorn, and the
yew.
Bach strove to catch his kindly glance, and
render homage due;
The crocus and the marigold, that spangled
o'er the glade.
And, too, tho scented mignonette,- its meek
obeisance paid.
Uniting with sweet songs were heard, the
melody of rills.
And startled echoes from the groves, re
sounded from the bills;
Diffusing odors on the air, zephyrs gently
blow.
And slumb'rlng mists that linger'd there,
with one accord withdrew.
The browsing lambs were seen to brisk, de
lighted on the green.
And mazy nugs which fairies form'd, revealed
where they had been;
All pranks hi Nature's varied hues, tho land
scape and tho sward,
Unto tho yearning cyo uppear'd, as if just

S. S. Dawes, In Arkansaw Traveler,
A FORGOTTEN PICTURE.
Rummaging through a dusty closet
of my studio the other day a closet
where .1 had tucked away unfinished
pictures for years I came upon a little
sketch in oils which sent the blood
tingling through my vcius as I had sup
posed it never could do again. I put it
on the easel and sat before it for hours,
living over again an episode in my life
so filled with pleasure and pain that it
may interest others to rend it. Let me
describe the picture. In the distance a
low cottage standing, in dim outline
against the sky, in which one streak of
red at the horizon left by the setting
suu just lends light enough to make the
cold blue above it visible; dim sugges
tions of low shrubs with patches of the
last tints of autumn. A shadowy path
leading down the slope to a gleam of
water in the right-hand corner, the
turn of a brook one would suspect. A
leatless tree near it. On the other side
two figures moving away from the
brook and the tree, one form shorter
and lighter than the other, with the out
line of an arm about tho waist, the
heads bent toward eaeh other lovers,
of course! Aye. aud thereby hangs the
tale. The knoll on which the house
stands hides the scene in the valley
from that point, but anyone from the
other side of the brook could plainly
see it all. 1 saw it and made the sketch
from memory.
Now let me describe another scene,
not from canvas, but from a corner of
my heart where the dust never comes.
A glorious sunset in June, a young
man myself, iu fact, for I was j-oung
once walking along a country road.
I had walked out from town to my
home in order to enjoy that beauty of
nature which comes but once a year in
New England. The green of grass and
trees was still in its spring freshness;
the air, laden with the sweetness of
flowers aud fruit blossoms, soft and
balmy; the sk glowing with the light
which lingers after sunset at that season
of tho year. As I came to a turn in-the
road I saw a little fellow leaning
ag&inst a rail fence, his hat in his hand
and the curls on his forehead damp
with perspiration. I stopped in front
of him, and, looking up with a sweet,
frank smile, he said, "Ain't it awful
hot. sir?"
"You seem to be very warm," I said;
have you been running?"
"O, no, sir; I couldn't run with that
iug," pointing to a brown stone ju" at
his fcet;i!it!s mighty heavy and makes
me pmI can tell you."
"What's in the jug?" I asked, lifting
it from the ground and finding it un
expectedly heavy.
"Maple sirup, sir. I was taking it up
to Farmer Granger's to Katie, she likes
it so much; and you know maple sirup's
the heaviest thing in tbe world except
lead."
"And who is Katie, that you should
-work so hard for her?"
"Why, Katie Granger's my sweetheart
always has been and I promised her
I'd get her some sirup way back in
ApriX but I couldn't get enough sap
'from our trees to make a teacup full, so
I just .earned some money helping fath
er in the spring work and went to town
to-day and bought four quarts, that's a
gallon, you know; it came from Ver
mont, and it's awful good. I guess she'll
like it"
( "Are you fond of Katie?" I asked.
"Fond of her! Well I should think so;
she's my sweetheart, I tell you, and al
ways has been."
The boy was about 12 years old, and
had it not been for the serious expres
sion in his bright young eyes, I should
have laughed at that "always" uttered
in that connection. As it was, I felt a
suspicious twinge at my-' heart that
might have been 7cause"d by envy I
don't really know what it was.
"You arc a devoted knight, my lad,"
I said, "and Til help you carry the jug
the rest of the way, if you'll tell me
your name."
"Tom Horton,-8ir, but I guess I can
cany it now., I'm all rested, and I
want to toll Katie I brought it myself."
"All right, Tom, I honor your senti
ment, but if Lpiit my cane through the
handle you can ' take one end and I the
other, so you see I won't' touch, the jug
myself, but in that way can relieve you
of some of the weight"
I think Tom in his heart felt the so
phistry of my argument without know
ing it, for he consented to the plan
rather reluctantly, although after we
fairly started on our iourney Jbe chat
tered on quite cheerfully, and "we soon
reached the cottage of Farmer Granger.
Tom gave a shrill whistle as he "drew
near the gate, and immediately the cot
tage door opened and a little girl flew
down the path and flew into Tom's out
stretched arms like a little squirrel. I
x moved away unnoticed, for something
.'came to my throat which made me feel
.that if I tried to speak I should, cry.1
:Wli . ln ra.M nitk nAJT' It.
'w tiriaVltr -"" - a tint Ar izrhnt T
would, I could'' think of nothinsr. see
, nothing but that 'picture: the devoted
little knight and his little lady-love,
with the homely brown jug of sirup at
their feet Wby.in'the world should the
vmenrrcrfjt bring the team? jmt my
eyes? Could it bean intuitive prevision
of after years?
Another picture from the same corner
of my heart:
A bright sunny day in early summer,
a sparkling brook, a beautiful elm-treo
on the bank, in the shado of its
branches two figures a girl of 16 or 17
years with knittingin her hands, her
face shaded by a broad-brimmed hat,
her graceful little figure dressed in a
quiet, cool-looking gown. In the dis
tance some men raking hay, toward
whom tho littlo head turns'very often,
although the figure under the tree is
talking to her all the time. She laughs
a merry laugh now and then, and some
times, nicks up bits of grass or clover
and pelts the speaker with them. Of
conrse-you-know it-is-Katie and myself.
Wc arc both older than when I saw her
leap into Tom's arms that evening, but
are wo wiser?
The haymakers are Fanner Granger
and Tom Ilorton, with tho "hired
-helpi.' '
iLet.sftB eeo it I Am. wiser, with my ad
vanced years. There has been a pause
in conversation, tho needles have been
very busy. The air, so sweet with dry
ing hay and full of the soothing buzz of
summer, might have put a man of my
years to sleep, had I been wiser.
"Katie?"
"Yes, Nonno."
Now, what made me writhe at that
answer? The tone was sweet enough,
the name. Nonno, I h ad-taught her to
call me years ago, when I felt so much
older than she. 1 had said: "Call me
Grandpa," but she had laughed so
heartily nt that, and said a grandpa
must havo white hair; so I made a com
promise aud taught her the Italian
equivalent, which did not convey tho
same idea to her mind. But since then
she had been growing up to me and I
did not feel that I had advanced in tbe
same ratio, aud to-day my thoughts had
been running riot with my reason, so
that when Katie said, "Yes, Nonno,"
in that calm way, I felt irritated and
was silent
"What were you going to say. Non
no?" I moved nearer kf her, and look
ed under the broad hat iuto the merry
eyes.
"Do you love me. Katie dear?"
"O, yes, very, very much, Nonno,"
and the eyes grew tender. Still I felt
irritated. I took her hands, aud stop
ped the clinking needles; she looked at
mo in a surprised way.
"Why, Nonno, you know Tom and I
both lovo you dearly."
Just then a shrill whistlo in the dis
tance made her start up. She waved
her hand to the haymakers who were
coming toward us, and turned to open
the basket of luncheon which was wait
ing in a cool corner for them. I turn
ed away impatiently, aud was moving
toward the road when she caught 1110
by the arm.
"Ah, now pleaso don't go. There's
plenty of luncheon for you, and Tom
iid be Mire and make Nonno stay with
us for nooning."
"No, Katie, I can't stay to-day. Good
by, clear child! God bless you!"
I took the pretty face in my bauds,
kissed the sweet mouth, and turned
quickly away lest she should see tho
tears which would come to the surface
this time.
I never saw Katie after that except in
the shadowy light in which my sketch
is made. That picture I saw a few
mouths after the summer day, when 1
had grown wiser, though so little older.
I was going to Paris to devote my life
to tho study of art, which was all in all
to me now. Yes, that was the one wise
action of my life. I have never re
gretted it, and after all these years,
with my hair grown white, 1 can sit and
fuse calmly on the little sketch which
made with aching heart so long ago
a sketch from memory. The first
glimpse of it made my heart beat faster
for a few moments only. I am a wiser,
man now and a happier one. (?) My
life has been uneventful. I can love my
art, and find iu it peace and content
ment. I am nearing my journey's end,
and Katie is on the other side. I turn
the sketch to the wall, and lo! on the
back of tho canvas the brown jug! I
smile remembering the time when I
painted that from memory too. Ah, old
jug, you arc fearfully out of drawing;
you hold no sirup, but sweet and grace
ful memories cling to you, and I lovo
you well! I light my pipe, and let the
thoughts of other days wreathe them
selves into the soft blue smoke and
slowly vanish, Home Journal.

"Four pounds of lead!" An expres

son and back again to the lather.- Tho
latter hastened to explain:
"Why, doctor," he began, "the boy's
been wearing that on his foot ever since
ho could get about, and it hasn't ever
done him one bit of good. That leg
ain't a quarter of an inch longer thaji
it wa3 a year two years ago. And
Dick's getting weaker all tho time,

"I should say so weaker yes. Won

"The lead?"
"Yes, the lead."
"Why, don't they all wear it?"
"They? It? What do you mean?
"The cripples people with white
swelling don't they carry lead weights
in their thick-soled shoes to stretch the
leg back to its right length?" -
The surgeon was too angry to make

HOW CUSTER FELL.
Graphic Description or the Fight by Chief
Gall, Sitting Ball' Lieutenant.
The great Sioux chief Gall, nt the cele
bration of the tenth anniversary of the
battle where Custer fell went over the
field and described the manner in which
Custer's command was destroyed. Gall
is a fine-looking Indian, 46 years old,
weighing over 200. He was reticent at
first but finally told his story with dig
nity and animation. He said:
"We saw soldiers early in the morn
ing crossing tho divide. When Reno
and Custer separated we watched them
until they came down into the valley.
The cry was raised that the white sol
diers were coming and orders were
given for the village to movo immediate
ly. Reno swept down so rapidly upon
tho upper end that tho Indians were
forced to fight Sitting Bull and I were
at tho point where Reno attacked. Sit
ting Bull was big medicine man. Wo.
men and children wcro hastily moved
.'down- stream, where the Choyennes
were encamped. Tho Sioux attacked
"Reno, and the Cheyennes Custer, and
then all became mixed up. Women and
children caught horses for bucks to
mount; then bucks mounted aud charg
ed back on Reno, checked him. and
drove him into the timber. Tho soldiers
tied their horses to trees, and came out
and fought on foot As soon as Reno
was beaten and driven back across the
river, the whole force turned on Custer
and fought him until they destroyed
him.
"Custer did not reach the river, but
was met about half a milo up the ra
vine, now called Reno's Creek. They
fought the soldiers, and beat them back
step by step until all were killed. One
of Rono's officers conlirnis this saying:
It was probably during this interval ol
quiet on Reno's part that the Indians
massed on Custer and annihilated
him.' The Indians ran out of ammuni
tion and then used arrows. They fired
from behind their horses. The soldiers
got shells stuck in their guns and had
to throw them away. They then fought
with little guns (pistols). The Indians
were in couples behind and in front of
Custer as be moved up the ridge to take
his position, and were just as many as
the grass. First two companies, Keogh's
and Calhoun's, dismounted and fought
on foot They never broke, but retired
step by step until forced back to the ridge
upon which all finally perished. They
were shot down in line where they
stood. Keogh's company rallied by
company and were all killed in a bunch.
(This statement seems borne out by
facts, as thirty-eight bodies of Keogh's
troops were found piled in a heap.)
"The warriors directed special fire
against a trooper who held tho horses
while the others fought As soon as the
holder was killed, by waving blankets
and great shooting the horses were
stampeded, which made it impossible
for ttio soldiers to escape afterward.
The soldiers fought desperately, and
hard, and never surrendered. They
fought standing; they fought in line
along the ridge. As fast as men fell,
horses were herded anil driven toward
squaws and old men. who gathered
them up. When Reno attempted to find
Custer by throwing out a skirmish line,
Custer and all with him were dead. When
the skirmishers reached a high point
overlooking Custer's field, the Indians
were galloping around and over the
wounded, dying, and dead, popping
bullots and arrows iuto them. When
Reuo made his attack at the upper
end he killed my two squaws and three
children, which made my heart bad. I
then fought with a hatchet (which
means, ot course, mutilating tho sol
diers). The soldiers ran out of ammu
nition early in the day. Their supplies
of cartridges were in the saddle pockets
of their stampeded horses. The Indians
then ran to the soldiers and butchered
them with hatchets. A lot of the horses
ran away and jumped into the river,
but were caught by the squaws.
"Only forty-three Indians were killed
altogether, but a great many of the
wounded ones came across the river
and died in the bushes. We iiad Ogal
lallas. Mineconjous, Brule, Teton, and
Uncapapa Sioux, Cheyennes, Arrapa
hocs, and Grosventres. When the big
dust came in the air down the river
(meaning Terry and Gibbon) we struck
our lodges, and went up a creek toward
the White-rail Mountains. The Big
Horn ranges were covered with snow.
Wo waiteif there four days, and then
went over to the Woj Mountains."
It has been popularly supposed that
Custer entered the river, but such was
not the case.
A Plea for tho Education of tbe
Body.
Many old theories of education are
being mercilessly discussed. Many new
theories claim the plaees of the old.
The classical scholar .still claims for the
ancient languages the greatest educa
tional power. The advocate of modern
languages says life is too short to study
dead things, and that modern languages
furnish enough discipline, and are, be
sides, useful. To the scientist, science
is god of all, even of education. To
him no man is properly educated un
less his mind is stored with scientific
methods of the nineteenth century.
Languages, ancient and modern, ma
thematics, science, philosophy, all ad
vance their claims to be the best educa
tors of the coming man. Meanwhile
the coming man is nothing but a child,
and must submit himself to his elders
to be experimented upon according to
the theories of teachers and parents.
For men, women, and children alike,
I wish to enter a plea for a part of them
much neglected in most discussions on
education, and too much left out of
sight in most theories of education
tho body. In fact, for centuries past,
many educators havo seemed to regard
the body as a rival of the brain, if not
an enemy of it " They have apparently
been filled with the idea that strength
and time given to tho body are strength
and time taken from the mind. Un
fortunately for the cause of good educa
tion, this erroneous idea is not held by
teachers alone, but is a very prevalent
one generally, the current dictum being
that, representing by unity a person's
force, whatever part of this unit is taken
from the body leaves necessarily just that
much less for the mind.
To combat this idea, and to replace
it by a much mora reasonable idea, I
had almost said by the very opposite
idea, shall be the chief though not the
only aim of these pages. Prof. E. L.
Richards, in Popular Science Monthly.

Backwoods "Visiting Day."
A teacher in the backwoods region
thus describes the arrival of visitors one
Sunday morning at his board in jr house:
They came about nine o'clock ia the
mornuWin a Iare wagon, father, moth
er and eight children, all seated on
straight-backed wooden chairs, painted
green, with shecp-bkin or rope seats.
The wagon was a rickety, unpainted
vehicle, and the horses were real "bags-of-bones."
"Well, good land o' massy! Is this
reely yeow?" cried my landlady, rush
ing out to meet the visitors.
"Looks like us. don't it?" gurgled the
mother of the visitors. "Taint our
speerits nohow."
"How do yeow do? Get out, and
come right in. All well?"
"Weirs common: how's all your
folks?"
"Oh, so's to be 'round, but pap aint
feel in' sight pert I'm tickled to death
to see you. Here's Loocindy."
"Loocindy" Grinned.
"And hero's Alciny."
"Alciny" grinned,
"And Alary Eiuuieline."
Mary Ennueline also grinned.

"How tlo you come on, Mister Jen

"Aint seen any of you for a coon's
age. Didn't know but you'd all dried

Everybody giggled or roared over
this.
"Well, all of yon walk right in and
sit down and take of your things, and
make yourselves right to home, I must

Jack, go out and kill four chickens; and

How to T.-ll Counterfeits.
The United State Treasury Depart
ment has of late years adopted for bonds
and currency a peculiar pnjier described
below, and which is deemed a stronger
protection against counterfeiters than
that used by the llankot England, which
has recently been dangeroltalv counter
feited in .')0, 100 and Jkr00 notes.
As the lirst issuo of greenbacks,, which
were not printed on liber paper, were
most dangerously counterfeited, but
have almost wholly disappeared from
circulation, therefore receive them with
great caution, or refuse them if in doubt
about their genuineness.
All other genuine greenbacks, gold
and silver certificates and later issues of
National bank notes are printed on the
Government paper, the lirst kind with
the liber distributed in short pieces,
localized with a blue tint, detected by
picking it with a pen; the other with tho
liber in two parallel threads, red and
blue silk, running lengthwise through
the note, seen by holding the note up to
tho light. The public are cautioned uot
to draw these threads out of the paper.
If in doubt about the genuineness of
any bank note in the report, refuse it
unless printed on Government fiber
paper. All national bank notes not in
this report are genuine, whether printed
on Government paper or not.
The counterfeit $10 and $20 silver cer
tificates are not on Government paper.
Some of the counterfeit $5. $10 and
$20 greenbacks (.series of 1875) and $.0
and $500 (-Mirics of ISG'J) are an imita
tion distributed liber paper. Very dan
gerous. The.sc are all the counterfeits
on the new greenbacks worth noticing.
Better refuse all twenties, fifties and
one hundreds on the banks iu this re
port uuless printed on Government
paper.
All genuine bank notes having brown
back and seal, have both kinds of the
fiber paper combined; while tho counter
feit $10, on the Third National Bank of
Cincinnati, Ohio, aud the photographic
counterfeit $0 on the First National
Bauk of Milwaukee, Wis., have no fiber.
These two are the only counterfeits on
the brownbacks.
Better refuse all pieced notes. All
United States currency having a brown
seal has the parallel threads or cables.
All United States currency printed since
18C9 is on Government liber paper.
There are in circulation very danger
ous counterfeit $10 greenbacks dated
1875. All the genuine of that date are
on distributed fiber paper. Detroit Free

ANalsance for a Girl to Be Pretty.
A vastly pretty girl told mo quite
confidentially, you understand, and
without a grain of vanity, says a New
York letter writer, that it is a positive
nuisance for a girl to be bewitching
when she travels. "An ugly girl can go
anywhere or do anything," she said,
"and no notico is taken of her; but a
pretty girl Is watched every instant,
and admiration from strangers does get
to bo such a bore. Of course, it's non
sense, but that doesn't alter tho fact.
Take a buiall illustration. An ugly girl
holds out her ticket for the conductor to
take. In doing so his hand nlightlv
Eresses her own. She knows she isnft
ewildering on sight and she can rea
sonably regard tho touch as accidental.
Not so with the pretty girl. She is bound
to construe such a thing as a flirtatious
advance. And so she is compelled to
repel it While in Paris I saw a char
acteristic example of the fact that usage
makes all the difference in the matter
of letting a man touch one's hand. A
charming young woman was employed
in a department of one of those big
stores that are among the sights of Paris.
One day I saw her instantly repulse a
man who had barely touched her hand.
He did it in a way that left her no doubt
that be meant sentiment But within
an hour I saw her selling gloves to a
much younger bean: and, in accord
ance with custom there, she was putting
them on his hands. She bandied his
hands deftly, softly and thoroughly, and
I have no doubt he liked it; but she was
merely doing a business duty, and fait
no harm.
