AUGUST 4, Unlocked at Last. I take tt flown this evening, in the golden twi light's kIow, As the gables cast their shadows on the garden beds below. And, with something of a sadness thnt-.te less tliHii gnef, I ralso The cover of the ouken box I- closed In other days. .. So long ago I locked it that the key turns stiff ly now. And the withered hand that trembles, and the furrows on tho brow. And the failing vision clouded, and the snows upon my head. Tell, with unrelenting certainty, of Time's re morseless tread. So long ago I locked them upl Ah, me, but hero they lie While, all unknown, a lingering hopo within me surely lay, . , . . Elso why should I but hide the things 1 might ,buve cast away? Some heated words were said. No more; but wonts iu wrath that fall May banish what our blinding tears and break ing hearts recall As visions only of the past; tho briiigcloss gull between But shows us. to augment our grief, the Joys "that might bnvo been." no died upon a foreign shore; and I ah. well, my years Have not been wholly wasted, neither passed in useless tears. My light went early out, but still its warmth ia with mo here It seems to be rekindling as tho end Is drawing ti ear! And now, ns In the box I look, again my eyes grow dim; I find a lock ot chestnut hair that once belong ed to him. A glove ho dropped it as he left a littlo gold en pin, A locket with a boyish face his own portray ed within. The ring he placed upon my hand when, stand ing by mv side. He simply told tho olden talc, and, faltering, I replied. No picture hero at nil of mine, no kept it, and I know Ho shared my secret trust that clouds like these would fade and go. A pile of letters! One, his last forlorn farewell still mocks My heart. I turn tho key, to look no more up on tho box! But surely I shull be forgiven if, in tho land of rest. Among the treasures stored for mc I hold my love the best. WOMAN'S WEAPONS. "How do voii like my aunt's new guest, Bruce?" 'Saw nothing wonderful in her. She's not bad to look at, I believe. Has a reputation as a flirt, if Itdon't mistake. Tni never taken by such girls, Cecil" Cecil Harrison laughed a little in his indolent, easy waj and his laugh was very good to hear. "You're never 'token' by any sort of girl," he said cheerfully; "but tltcrc's no uso in saying a man is happier with out being "in love, for he's not I tell you, a good houest attack of love will make a man of any fellow. I'd like to see you hard hit, old fellow." "You may livo to see it; but if vou do, the object of my affection will not bo a society belle, a flirt, or the fashion, as Miss Aubrey told me our new arrival is.' "Flirt or no flirt, she's certainly the stylo of girl that is sure to play havoc with some poor fellow's heart' Bruce Carleton made a wry face. "And no doubt she is at this moment doniug her war-paint, with the laudable intention of making a tablet of yours or mine," he remarked carelessly. "I wonder if prudence would be the better part of valor in this instance? Would you join me in a trip of a few weeks?" "I would tell my aunt why you went, and give Miss Vernon a new triumph," was the lazy answer, given with a smile. "All right Hero 1 stay, and face fate as bravely as I can. I am prepared to be dazzled by splendor surpassing that of Cleopatra, when our belle andiKjauty comes down. By the way. can it be long before dinner? I'm fairly famish ing, after that long tramp, by which I lost luncheon." "Half an hour or so," Cecil an swered. "Have a cigar? They're cap ital. Why, what was that?" "The door of the library swung to. Are you growing nervous?" "No, but I'm growing uncomfortable. Some person was in there, and may have heard all we said. It was un manly of us to criticise an absent lady, and one who is young and lovely." "Oh, she'll get old and ugly soon enough, if that makes the matter any better," answered Bruce carelessly. But as he left his scat and went in through tho window, there was an un usual color on his face, for he had caught the sound of light footfalls, as well as the closing of the door, and was sure some cars had caught his unkind and uncourtly remarks, despito his seeming indifference. And he was right. A girl had stepped lightly over the threshold of the library in the very beginning of the conversa tion. " She went hurriedly across the room, placed a book among its fellows, and was reading the titles of the others near it, when the first remark I have chron icled reached her. "Ah, they do think of us when wo'rc not by!" sho whispered, dimpling smiles on her face. "1 have always thought that men could gossip, and here I am listening to two of them gossiping about one of us. No, I'm not listcuing; I'm looking for a book." But sho did not make a selection from the volumes until after Bruce had expressed himself as being prepared to be dazzled by the splendor of Miss Ver non's attire when she appeared at din ner. Then, with a saucy light in her grey eyes, the girl took down her book, crossed the room, and allowing the door to close behind her noisily, ran swiftly up the stairs, not pausing until she stood beforo a door, 'at which she tapped lightly. "May iconic in Bella?" she called. And immediately the bolt was drawn, and a slender girl stood in tho door way, clothed like a young queen, in a rich robe of amber silk, which fell far behind her on the floor. "Oh, shut the door, and let mc tell you something!" cried the grey-eyed girl, eagerly. "And, oh, Bella, do take off that lovely dress, and put on some thing plain and prim! He said you were putting on your war-paint, and would .try to dazzle like a Cleopatra. But I must tell you!" "Yes, I think you must, unless you wish to confuse me hopelessly," said Miss Vernon, with a smile in her dark eves, as she drew her visitor in and shut the door. "Now who said all this about mc?" In five minutes Kate Aubrey had told all about the conversation which she had heard; and her listener's delicately cut face had colored with haughty anger for a moment; then mingling with the anger a touch of amusement ahone in her dark eves. "Help me, Kate," she said laughing ly. . "I am my own maid to-day. Wo will disappoint that critical and chari table gentleman, who expects such splendor. I wonder whether or not I will ever forgive him tor his remarks? He is most unkind!" Within half an hour the two girls stood before Miss Bella's mirror, langhing at tke . slight maiden it re flected, dad in simple white cashmero, with no ornament about her. "You look like a lily!" cried Kate; "or like a Puritan maiden on her wed-Aing-dav!' If vou had a few flowers vou would o; but you are looking your very best, Bella dear; plain attiro be comes you." " i'li'get a flowcr'or two downstairs; tho vases aro full oi fresh ones," Miss Vernon said, smiling at herself in tho mirror, then turning from it Kate went to lier room for a forgot ten trifle, and Isabel Vernon went down to tho drawing-room alone. Nobody had come down, save Bruce Carleton, who turned fronr'a window as sho en tered. She did not scorn to see him, hut went straight to tho mantle, on which masses of bloom were gathered in vases, and began selecting a few flowers. lie followed Tier immediately. "The vases are high for you,'' ho said. "May I lift one down, or get you the flowers you want?" She looked at him calmly, arrang ing tho blossoms in her lingers without heed. Her dark eyes met his own so clearly, so indiflercntly, that somehow he was piqued: "Thank you; I have all I want," she said quietly. "You are very vklnd,- Mr. Carletohf 'b'nt-let me assure you that -a woman never prizes any act of gallant ry so highly a she does a charitable word or thought given her in absence." A hot color burned- in his face. Had she heard herself reviled by him? But before he had found words to an swer, she had fastened the blossoms at her throat and gone forward to meet Kate, who was entering. He watched her, and as he watched, a desire to stand well in her c'es grew. Surely rumor had belied her. when it said sho was cold and cared only for conquest What an idiot he had been to say what he had of her scarcely an hour before! Now she would never bo his friend; and surely there were depths in those dark eyes of hers, curves in her red lips, power in her white brow. He had seen no beauty in her the night before, but suddenly, with tho knowledge that she must despise him, came the conviction that this girl, in her simple robe of white, with only a few roses by way of ornament, was vcrv, very beautiful. lie could not help watching her dur ing the whole evening, and as ho watched he felt more and more con vinced that the rumor had wronged her that she was no coquette, seeking approval, but a true woman, winning homage unconsciously. Kate Aubrey, who seemed to bo on von' confidential terms with Cecil, whispered to him, as they were partiug for tho night: "Mr. Carleton may call Bella a flirt, or anything he may like, but as true as fate he is falling in love with her." "I hope so," Cecil laughed, easily. "He was too sure he was invulnerable." On the morrow the pleasant party would break up, anil each one go a diucrent way. Autumn w'as reddening the world; yet, under the moonbeams, it looked like a world of shadows to Bella Ver non, as she stood at her window, look ing abroad. A long letter, which she had read again and again, was in her hands; a smile of exquisite sweetness was on her lips; her dark eyes wore dim, but very soft aud tender, through the tears that made the outside world suddenly a con fused darkness to her. Then, after a low little knock, Kate Aubrey put her head in at the door. "May 1 come in?" "Come, Kate; I have something to tell you." The girl came and stood beside her friend. "I think I know what it is," she said softlv. "Do you care for hiin, Bella? I told Cecil 1 didn't think you did." "And what did Mr. Harrison say?" "That there wasn't a liner fellow in the world, and ho didn't sec how you could help loving Bruce Carleton. But I knuw you had not forgiven him for calling you a flirt, and saying he wasn't taken with such girls. I'm sure ho would givo his right hand to have that speech unsaid now, and I do pity the poor fellow. Cecil says he hasn't even a hope." "lie wrote me, owning his . unchari table remarks, and pleading for forgive ness," said Isabel softly. "He does not seem to greatly hope, for after telling mc of his love, he bids mc pardon that too, and says that after to-morrow we may never meet" 'Poor fellow! You will say a few kind words to him, will vou not, Bella? It is so sad to love one wlio doesu't re turn it! If Cecil didn't care for me, how miserable I should bo! "But you wear Cecil's rinr, dear. You are very happy instead." "Yes, 1 am very happy. But poor Mr. Carleton I pity him so!" Miss Vernon smiled. "Because I am going down to tell him that he is forgiven, and his love is dear to me? Little Kate, I am as hap py as yourself!" "You do not mean " . (. "I mean that, in trying to punish Bruce for his unkind sayings concern ing mc, I lost my heart to him. Yes, Kate. Is it foolish? I do not think so, for I know he will never say a rude thing of my sex again Now I must go down and give ,niy answer to his letter. Congratulate me, for I am ver-" happy. Fate conquers us all, little friend!" In explaining his attitude toward the doctrine of tho Trinity, the Rov. VL Hcber Newton says in the Christian Register: "Thero are some of our mod ern dogmas that it is simply inconceiv able to mc that Jesus could have held, or could hold to-da3 were He upon earth. Thero are 'Others which I may think it questionable whether He would hold were He back among us, but which present to my mind no moral inconceiv ability. The question of tho Trinity is one of these. In the form in which it is held by tho conventional Christian I am quite sure Jesus would not accent it In the form in which it is held in philosophic minds to-day I do not see why He might not accept it Each of us is obliged to look at such a question from his own standpoint From my standpoint it seems to mc entirely possi ble that He should hold such a thought of the Divine Being. If I did not think so I should not be wbcro I am." One of tho forest curiosities of the Isthmus of Darien and lower Central America is the tree killer (matapalo). This starts in life as a climber upon the trunks of largo forest trees, and, owing to its marvelously rapid growth, soon reaches tho lower branches. It then begins to throw out many shoots, which entwine themselves all around the trunk and branchcsv.and also aerial tendrils, which, as soon as they reach the ground take root In.a few years this gigantic parasite" will completely cntelop the trunk of the tree which has upheld it, and kill it The whole of the inner dead tree will then rot away, leaving the hollow matapalo standing alone and atarisbjog.

A story about the capture or any ex ploit of an eagle will go the entire rounds of the press at any season. Why? The eagle is not a very remarkable bird in any way not even remarkably scarce.

Buffalo Ex press. According to the London Lancet the reason people who have had a foot am putated still imagine that it pains them is simply owing to "irritation of the sen sory fibres of a divided nerve being re ferred to the terminal distribution of those fibres."

I chanced to rldo in Back Bay car yesterday besido two ladies who were from Chicago, as their very audible con versation informed everybody.

"But; after all;" the other added to her assent to the praiso of tho avenue, "after all. tho most rcmarkablo thing about Boston is the way the weather crawls down your back-bone."

"I never go much on ghost stories, " begun Contractor Van Dyke at the Clinton Uouso the other evening. The old gentleman had been listening with more or less attention to a series of fables being told by the guests of the hoteL "You don't believe in spooks, then?" suggested one of the gathering. "Well. I don't know," the old con tractor replied. "My experience in that direction has been somewhat remark able. 1 don't suppose you will believe me. but the story I will tell you Is true. I can produce a living witness to it, and 1 will at any timo make affidavit to its accuracy. Two years ago I was build ing a piece of railroad down in the eastern part of this state Among the peoplo who furnished mc with tics waa an old trader in whom I had little or no confidence. As the bills for the ties came in I paid them promptly and took receipts from every man. I knew to tho tic tho number "used. After my con tract was completed the old trader sued me for the price of fifty ties. Tho case was tried and I was compelled to pay tho money. The old man had sworn tp Ills bill, and little or no defenso could be made. When I paid the money I warned tho old fellow. I told him ho had perjured himself. I predicted for him an unhappy ending. About six months ago I was awakened at I o'clock in the morning by this same old trader. It was dark iu my room. Just as plainly as I see you now he was thero in life. He wakened mo by calling mo by name. My partner was in bed in the samo room just a few feet from me. 1 called him and told him of tho visit or's presence. He said ho could not 6ec him, and laughed at me. He told me I was dreaming, and suggested that I go to sleep. While we were talking the old trader called mc by name. Ho said he had been mistaken about tho ties, and offered to return mo the money. The vision then vanished. My partner talked with me of the matter before wo went to sleep again. The next morning he tohl the story on me as a joke, but while we were at breakfast the news reached us of tho old trader's death He had died within ten minutes of tho timo of his visit to mc. I have no idea how many more calls of the samo character he had to make, but I am satisfied his visit to me was the last one. That story is true as holy writ," the old man concluded. A distressing silence followed its telling and the party broke up before all recovered. Union town News. Early Uso of Artillery. When Romulus was marking out the limits of his new city, gunpowder was already known, and 2,000 yean before the birth of Schawrtz, pieces of ord nance had been enst in China. Tho Moors used guns in Spain, in the begin ning of 1200, if not 1100. The claims of the Chinese having now been gen erally admitted, it is supposed that ord nance reached Euroe through tho Moors of Spain or the Venetians. Nei ther, however, had any connection with China. It is unaccountable that it should not have been perceived by the Turks, who conquered the northern por tion of China in the early part of tho thirteenth century, and were established all around tho Black sea with the ex ception of a strip between Vcrua and the Bosphorus. It is now doubted whether, indeed, tho Black Prince did uso guns at the battle of Cressy; but there is no doubt that Murad L had before then employ ed them at the battle of Cossova. On both bides they were used, the Turks having already instructed the popula tion with whom they were at war. Em ploying artillery in the field, it was easy (reversing the process in Euroio) to ap ply it in fortresses; the peculiar nature of the Straits of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles invited its use. To tho batteries placed above Constantinople is attributed the fall of that city, the supplies from the Black sea being cut oft National Republican. Old-Time Dance Music.
