The Red JJog?
Urns quoth the quaint old Muslim
a Keep tbr tongue in chains
What time the fire of righteous Ire
nint:
makes
boll in thy reins;
Let not thy wit be lost in it, like salt lost in a
stream:
Though speaking Soft beeeetneth ort but lav
Ins; coals in cream.
When in thy tent dark brows are bent, and
mocking mouth deride.
And every claim of Love's sweet name is gain
said and denied,
O, keep the red dog tied.
When thou dost take, for others' sake, the in-
grate's black abuae.
Then in the hour to show thy power let not
this wild bea6f loose.
Calmly abate thy soul and mate thy lips to
Allah's law;
When scandals brood with clamor rude in clots
about thee caw.
Learn but to wait, and. soon or late, joy from
afar will ride
With swiftest pace to seek thy face, as bride1
groom to a bride.
But keep the red dog tied.
The porcelain cup thy hand holds up will
from its jewelled rim
Strong nectar drip, and thou 8 halt sip the
bubbles at its brim.
Fountains across shall lightly toss cool opals
thro' the heat:
Lute's low tones, linked in their zones, mak

True friends snail be a wall 'round thee, like
palms by a wcllside.
And o'er thy home shall bend the dome of
skies with iris dyed.
So keep the red dog tied.
Bose-scented air will whisper where, in nests
above tby thatch,
'Mid almond leaves that chare the eaves the
ringed-dove wives hatch.
Bright gems shall be the broidery or all thy
chastened speech.
Where proverbs fair as rubies rare, their
ripest wisdom teach,
To thee 6ba!I grief fly for relief wherever thou
dost hide. '
And misery more hapless be the day that tbou

Who kept the red dog tied.

A TRUE HELPMATE.
"Ding-dong, dlngdong, ding dong. cay ateed
bio on,
For It is my wedding morning;
And the brido so gay. in fine array.
For the day will now be adorning.
So, with a ring of exultant anticipa
tion in his voice, sang Evan Davies, as
he was borne by his brave spirited
horse at a rattling pace along the high
road beneath the shadow of Plinliin
inon, bound on an errand sufficient in
itself to make the soberest minded of
mankind burst into some outward
manifestation of high spirits. For had
he not, only the day before been an
swered a certain question in such wise
as made the result of thi afternoon's
journey a foregone conclusion, since
the maiden had answered 'yes," and
nought remained but to gain the con
hent of a father who had never denied
her aught.
It was a ten-mile ride from the
Rectory of Llanfcraut to Evan Davies's
pleasant farm; but a lover does not
mind distance, and beside., the stal
wart young fanner's black horse was
as fleet as any in all the principality,
and bore his mater swiftly along dus
ty or snow-besprinkled roads, in the
two years of his wooing of the rector's
daughter.
Very sure of foot, and lithe as a
greyhound was the bonuie black,
which Evan himself had raided ami
trained; and pretty Ellen Morgan's
grey eyt" would light with loving
pride when she watched steed and
ritler come towards l.lanfi-rutit as the
miu u- M-ttiii",, and turn in at the
drive which led t the Rectory door.
Two years of woning entitled Evan
to tin privilege of speaking to Mr.
Morgan, which he did, after fust hav
ing Ellen's eoiiM'iJt: and the good old
man blessed the oiing people, and
prayed Heaven to .-mile upon their
love.
1 .-.hall be very lonely without my
child." he -.aid. wistfully: "but we
who have the great a of a true and
tender love given to our youth. inut
not -.hadow b our .-ellihne the same
sunlight for others. I shali mis my
child: but -he love you. and you will
make her happy. From my empty
nest I will watch the heart of my
daughter, and while I know it holds
uo care. 1 will thank Heaven that a
good man's love i- about her: for I
am old, and the hour i not far dis
tant when I -hall become a part of
death's reaping. When .-ummer i
past, you may come fur Ellen. ( tu
her and tell her that I -end my bless
ing with you. .She is in the garden."
And the strong young lover .-ought
Ellen, while the frail old father, to
whom ;die a- eye and hand-, and
needed aid. bowed hi- white head mi
his de-k, and remembered hi- own day
of youth, and love, and high-beating
heart, and tried not to think of the
seeming ingratitude of youth to which
it is akin.
It was ten o'clock when Evan
mounted for hi- homeward ride, and
the -tars had vanished under dark,
pall-like cloud: there va no moon,
the air was full of electricity, and a
low rumble in the distance warned him
that a torm would presently break up
the calm of the world about him.
Mr. Morgan stood at the Rectory
door, his kind old face aud white hair
thrown out by the light within.
There will be a Morm," he said.
"Do not go to the farm. Evan! Remain
with us until morning."
Evan gathered up the reins atri
laughed.
"My sister would be worried," he
said. "I must go home, and Eric
know.s every foot of the way. Xo
matter how dark it may be. he will
not go wrong. Good-night, Mr. Mor
gan good-night, Ellen, my love!"
Very tenderly he aid the words, his
eyes resting n. moment on the alight
ligure of the girl, who -tood outlined
in the light that flowed from the open
door.
Then the black horse sprang for
ward with a snort of impatience, there
was a ring of hoofbeats. ami the dark
ness had taken steed and rider.
Ellen turned harply towards her
father, and caught his arm with her
two little hands as a. keen, jagged
lance of lightning darted through the
eastern sky. and a crash of thunder
followed on its play.
"I fear I fear some harm will lie
fall him." she faltered. "And if then'
should oh, father, father!"
"Heaven will guard your lover,
child!" the old man said reverentlv.
And as he spoke, a sharp wind.sud
denly arisen, and fraught with rain
drops, smote on his kindly face.
Meanwhile. Evan, with his every
pulse beating with joy, was dashing on
and on. not heeding the rain, not ivor
ryiug about the way. but leaving the
rein loose on Erie's neck, and trusting
to tho:e fleet hoofs to bear him safely
through the darkue-.
On they went, until, by the frequent
flashes of lightning, Evan knew that
he was within a mile of his home.
And then
The .springing, spurning hoofs struck
riugingly on the bridge. There was a
crash of breaking plank a struggle,
brief as a breath, a dull thud, and
Steed and rider were flung forward
and lay where they fell, the horse
plunging and struggling madly to free
himself, for one hoof had gone through,
and he was held a captive.
But Evan Davies lay motionless,
with the darkness around him torn
and rent by vivid flashes of weird, blue
light, and his white face turned up
wards to the falling rain.
Were his'love aud his life to end
so, in the love which followed his be
trothal? Crippled for life? Is that what
You mean, dpctor? I as aavac '
timaBsaamssmim
walk again?"
"Yon will have to use a crutch, my
boy," the old physician said pityingly".
"Bear it with a man's patience; you
will never step on that right foot
again."
And Evan turned his face towards
the wall, bearing it with all a strong
man's burning, bitter impatience against
such a decree.
They had found him in the grey of
dawn, all crushed and senseless had
found the horse still a prisoner, ex
hausted and quiet, with gashes on his
wet sides, and a piteous look in his
usually fiery eyes; and it was discov
ered that neither man nor beast would
ever be the same after that night of
storm.
"I will free Ellen I will free her!"
the young man whispered when he
was left alone: and Heaven only knew
what it cost him to whisper the
words which brought such a heavy
perspiration out on his forehead. "I
will not keep her to her promise now
I will not! And yet how can I live
without her, my sweet little love?
Crippled for life aye, crippled iu heart
and body! losing love and hope, as
well as strength of limb! Would to
Heaven my bonnie Eric had trampled
all life out of me. since he could not,
bear me safelv. But Ellen! my sweet
Ellen!"
He flung up his arms on the pillows
and crushed his face against them.
Short, strong sobs shook him like a
reed.
As he lay so, a slight figure stole up
to his couch; a pair of loving hands
lifted his head: and Ellen's tcnder.tear
wet eyes looked into his.
"My darling!" .-he said softly, "is it
so hard to bear? Can love ot make it
lighter lor you?"
"Ellen! my lost, lost darling!"
"Nay, sweetheart; not lo.-t, but here
beside you, to stay always, now that
you need me."
And the soft little hands drew hi
hot, aching head to her bosom, aud
held it there as fondly as a mother holds
the head of her weary child.
"Ellen, do you know that I can never
walk again? Oh, my love, it is hard to
give you up, but "
"Evan, what do you mean?" The
sweet face of the girl was blanched and
tremulous. "I know what the doctor
says, and, ah. my dearest, it is very,
very sad! But you are not going to
send me away from you now, when
your doing so would kill me?"
"Oh. dearest, do not tempt me to be
sellish! You gave me your promise
when I was strong and well; now tha
I am crippled thus. I give it back I
free you."
"But vou love me, Evan?"
-Oh. Ellen!"
There was no mistaking that heart
hungry cry: and as it left his lips, Ellen
laid hers upon them.
"Then nothing shall come between
us." she said firmly. "1 did not love
you for your strength: I loved you be
cause you were Evan. Dear, remem
ber what I was to promise you in the
autumn that sickness, misfortune, any
evil that might come, should find me
beside you. Nay. not a word, unless
you love me less than you did before
this befell you: you do not, Evan?"
"My darling, 1 never loved you as I
love you now; but "
"Papa wants to say something to
you," she broke in, laying his head
gently back on the pillows, and put
ting back the damp hair from his fore
head. "Remember, papa is an old
man, aud wiser than you or I: and he
knows his daughter's heart, my dear
est: heed what he suggest."
Without any of the shy timidity
which had characterized her, she bent
over him, laid her cheek to his for an
instant, aud then glided away: and poor
Evan lay as she left him. wondering at
the thrills of joy that shot through his
being for all the gloomy prospect before
him.
He was lyingthere with the white
ness of physical pain on hi- face, but a
glow of lo elighl in his eye.-,
faint smile on hi- colorle lip
Mr. Morgan entered and went
his couch.
and a
when
up to
"Heaven has -rcn tit to deprive you
of one blc-sing. but a- its law is one of
compeii-ation, it has given you the
treasure of a pure, young love, of
which no mi-fortune can deprive you.
You asked for Ellen, and I promised
her to von: then vou could have done
without her; now you cannot. So, my
son, I am going to leae her with you
as your wife."
The rector's voice wa- not quite ev
en as he saiii the word-, hut on hi- kind
old face there was a -mile. And when
Lvan rcmon-tr.ilcd vowed he loved
Ellen too well to sacriliee her, reminded
Mr. Morgan that he would be a useless
cripple for his whole future the good
man convinced him thai all Ellen's hap
piness lay in her nearness to him, her
power to soothe his pain, the privilege
of ministering to his weakness. And
when he had finished, the young man's
eye-, so lately haggard with misery,
were dim with tears that welled up
ironi a heart over-flowing with
tude and jov.
grati-
He had lost his perfection of manly
grace and strength, would never again
walk the earth with firm, springing
tread: but love, was left him. and what
would upright form and strength of
limb have been to him if love had leen
taken away?
So. a couple of days afterward, by
special license, a quiet ceremony wan
jwrfomicd iu that quaint, old-fashioned
room, and Ellen remained with her hus
band. - There were long week of tender
care on her part, and pain borne with
new and gentle patience on his; then
slowly, slowly stole back strength and
hope to the two loving hearts; for a
physician, young, and with his whole
soul in his profession, ltecause he had
but recently launched his bark of hope,
with its freight of knowledge, ujon the
rough tide of thewurld told them that
he could give back all power to the in
jured foot, if Evan would permit an oj
e mt ion to be performed upon it by him
self and an older surgeon.
Evan consented, and for long weeks
again he dared not move, le-t the skill
of the men should be put at naught.
Heaven alone knows what Ellen's
love and5 watchful care did for him dur
ing this weary time of suffering!
And then, at Christmas-tide, the
crutch was laid aside forever.
Evan Davies could walk the earth
like other men, save for a slight halt in
his step: and who. iu this great world,
was happier than he. a- he drew his
wife to his bosom and kissed her with
more than a lover's tenderness?
"It was not the skill of my physi
cians, dear ope." he said softly. "It
was your love that wrought my cure."
"It was that God loved vou and me,"
she answered, with a touch of rever
ence on the sweet face, that had lost its
color in her months of anxiety.
And Evan answered
"He loved me well when he gave me
so sweet a wife, dear."
Was it uot true?
GRADY AT HOME.
Ths Georgian's GorgMat Piwactte Oiwi
Powers a Tlmlt Newspaper Xaau
In May last a Memphis reporter, who
Iwas swinging around the Southern cir-
cuit in search of a newspaper that could
not exist wiliiout hi- .services, chanced
to visit Atlanta, and called upon Mr.
Grady, -"
He says: "It was not- exactly a
friendly call, as Mr. Grady had not the
honor of my acquaintance. My mis
sion was one of business exclusively,
and the social amenities of journalism
were Io-t sight of iu the hope of getting
a job at almost anything a week. In
front of the Coiutihition Building I
saw three reporters standing and gaz
ing reverentially up at the third floor
corner window. I knew them to be
reporters by their fashionable attire
and -intellectual foreheads. I asked
them iu what part of the building Mr.
Grady might be found. They simply
pointed with jeweled forefingers iu the
direction they were looking, and re
sumed their orisons. The elevator boy
was startled when told that I wished
to be set down on Mr. Grady's floor.
He evidently considered me rash.. At
the second floor we took on several
compositor-. I knew they were com
positors, because they were eareless in
raiment' and boi- themselves as men
who cany the earth in a type-stick.
I remarked to one of them that I
u-iklied tn see Ml, t.rnilv.
" 'Rather it was' you -than .me,' he
replied, with a sympathy that was a
little puzzling to me then. It didn't
puzzle me ten minutes later.
"On reaching the third jloor the
elevator boy pointed me silently down
a spacious hall lined with rare plants,
aud adorned here aud there with cost
ly works of art -in bronze and marble.
At the further end was a massive door
of carved oak. Iu the center of the mid
dle panel was a round .hole about the
size of a half-dollar, and just below
this a silver bell-pull. I gave the
knob a twist, and iu a moment a mel
low tenor voice was heard through the
opening, asking who was there. I told
my name and business.
'Beg pardon for standing you off,'
said the owner of the voice, opening
the door. 'I thought you were a Con
gressman; we're so pestered with 'em
here.'
" entered a luxuriously appointed
ante-room, and confronted a handsome
young man wearitig a priceless dia
moud pin ami a delicate, bang.
" 'Wait here uutil I seek the Pres
ence,' he said solemnly, and disappear
ed through an inner door.
"By this time nerve was as scarce
about my person as the price of board.
"Presently the handsome young man
returned, aud said: 'He will see you.'
"I followed him and found myself iu
Mr. Grady's audience chamber. It was
furnished with oriental splendor. There
were four persons iu the room the
Governor of the State, a United Slate
Senator, a stenographer, and the mau
I was seeking. The great journalist
was seated on a rich divan.dictating to
the stenographer, while the others
hung breathlessly upon his words. 1
took him to be about 40 yean old. He
is thick-set aud has the appearance of
a mau whose stomach never gets left,
if he knows it. His head is round aud
covered with a short growth of black
hair, his face shallow, smooth-shaven,
aud lighted by a pair of cold, piercing
black eyes. His voice is well modu
lated, but penetrating. It went through
me like a knitting-needle, and stuck in
the wall beyond.
" 'Tell him,' he said to the short
hand man, 'I have my eye upon yon.
and if Gordon does not get a majority
of the delegation from your country'
'Well, sir,' suddenly discovering me,
'what do you want ?'
" '1 thought Uncle Remu- was here,'
I stammered out. Nothing eUo occur
red to me. I was paralyzed.
" 'You'll find him down at -Miss
Sally's," replied Mr. Grady, and some
how in about a minute I found myself
oa the pavement outside.
"Everybody in Atlanta seem to re
gard Mr. Grady as the greatest product
of Georgia, aud the awful reverence
with which he is treated is not confined
to the employes of the Constitution. He
is the king bee in that jug town, and.
beyond all compare, .is the most over
powering journalistic magnate I ever
encountered." Memphis Avalanche.

The Distribution of the Diamond.
The diamond has been found in
widely separated parts of the world.
Among these. Central India, Sumatra,
Borneo, the Ural Mountains, Califor
nia, Brazil, the Cape of Good Hope,
aud China have been named, in their
several times, as principal localities,
while it might be hard to enumerate
all the minor sites. The Greeks said
it was found in Ethiopia. The Indian
mines are certainly of very high anti
quity, for the stones are mentioned in
the "Mahabaratta," and the. Romans
obtained their supplies chiefly from the
mines of Jumalpoor, in Bengal. The
Indian mines are scattered along the
center of the peninsula, through KP
of latitude, from near the southern
bank of the Gauges iu latitude 25
to latitude 15 in the Madras Presi
dency. The most famous ones were
those of Golconda, in the Nizam's ter
ritory, which were called after the city
and fort of that name, where was the
market to which they were brought,
although none of them were found
there or in the near neighborhood.
Nothing
of the eitv is left, and the
mines have fallen into neglect: but
when Tavernier visited the district, in
163G, he found twenty-three mines in
operation, employing sixty thousand
men and women, girls aud boys, and
producing some wonderfully large and
fine stones.
The mining district between the
Godavery and the Mahanadi the
Adamas River of the ancients, where it
was said, "They find diamonds in
quantities" was also visited by Taver
nier in 1655. The whole population
were then accu-toiued to explore the
river-bed in the late winter, when the
water wa low, aud there was no work
iu the fields, and wash the diamonds
from the sand. Popular Science Month'

Lard and grease have, a is well
known, a corrosive, action on brass or
copper, and this is a drawback to their
use as lubricants for these materials!
It has been pointed out that, while both
melted India rubber and vaseline are
without corrosive action ou brass, each
alone has a disadvantage. Thus melt
ed India rubber is too glutinous, and in
course of time hardens. Vaseline nev
er hardens, but is deficient in tenacity
and adhesiveness. A mixture of both
substances is therefore recommeuded, '
consisting of one part by weight of
nielted India-rubber and two parts of
vaseline. The rubber should be pure,
not vulcanized, and cut iuto .shreds,
then melted at the lowest possible tem
perature in an iron cup while being
pressed down against the hot cup aud
stirred into a uniform glutinous mass.
The vaseline, of a common thick brown
sort should l)e added to the India-rubber,
aud the whole thoroughly stirred
and blended together.

to pay her own car-fare, buy her own
gloves and collars and "notions" gen
erally, do her own "treating," and be
in fact her own financier. In uo other
wav can she be so successfully tamdit
the proper value of money.
A girl who never has any money of
her own, who must a-k papa every time
she wants 10 cents for car-fare -or
money for a new niching, is a poor,
spiritless creature, robbed of consider
able individuality aud deserving of
pity. Unless she marries a man-angel
she will probably be that most humili
ated of all women, a beggar-wife, who
has to coax, cajole, beg money from
her husband, explain piteonsly what
she docs with it. and made to feel all
the misery of unjust dependence. A
girl should be taught the responsibility
of possessing things. She should real
ize the full import of that old familiar
saying. "What's mine is my own."
The loss of self-preservation makes a
man most careful of things that are his
own. A girl's hooks, pets, flowers.
toys, ornaments should be her own to
do with as she wills for which she
will be responsible to her own con
science. She should be made as early
as po.-siblc a responsible agent: and
taught to rely ou herself: lo do for her
self; to buy for herself. If her taste in
drev i- bad. improve it by kindly
criticism aud loving advice. Do not
foster helplessness by as-imiing for her
her responsibilities.
There was a time when sickly or
delicate young women, who fainted
easily, and could not get a whole
strawberry into their dear little mouths
were all the fashion iu womanhood. Iu
those days it was vulgar for a young
woman to say she was hungry or to
eat with a whoh-ome relish aud a
good sensibh- appetite if gentlemen
were present. Girls aimed to look
languid, and were vain that they could
not walk, and were not strong enough
for any greater physical exertion than
standing at the front gate for three or
four hours at a time talking to a young
man. Those days are gone by forever.
Healthy, wholesome energetic, agile,
strong young women are the fashion.
Faiutiug is a- much out of dale us s.

The girl of lo-day i- not afraid to let
her best young man see her eat a dozen
fried oyter-. She will Walk with him
from ("anal street to Carrolltou and
back and be less "blown" than he at
the end of the trip. In fact, helpless
women are ont of style: they no longer
exist, even in the novels. The wisest
mother is she who to-day is helping
her beautiful, sweet, and modest young
girls to become brave ami self-reliant
women, not bold nor forwardly self
assertive, but surely not afraid to face
any of the duties and dangers and re
sponsibilities of a woman's lot. Neio

Among the Gas-Wella.
-
A group of burning wells north of
Washington, Pa., has presented many
nand aud beautiful uiht-scenes.
Though many miles apart, they appear,
at a distance, to be close together, and
their light intermingles. Ou a dark
night, with all of them burning, t hoy
make a great show. These wells in
full blast with tho.-e Hanking them on
the right aud ou the left, with the
broad glare of those at Wellsburg, W.
Va.. showing twenty miles to the north
west, and with those at Murraysville,
Pa., thirty miles to the northeast
make a scene that would terrify a
stranger, if he should come upon it un
aware of the existence of such things
as burning gas-wells. It would only
need columns of fiery lava to convince
him that the whole region was full of
volcanoes. And his terror would
doubtless be complete when he saw a
great lierv column shoot skwvard,
unless he was made aware of the real
cause of the phenomenon, when he
would remain to admire what a moment
before had tilled him with alarm. The
explanation of the sudden burst of
name is that it is necessary often to
"blow out" the wells and the pipes
leading to the regulator, to keep them
from being clogged by the salt which
gathers in the pipes from the salt-water
thrown up by the gas. The How of
the gas is stopped for a moment; and
when again released, the gas drives
everything before it into the open air.
This escaping gas is burned at the
regulator. The effect of the suddenly
increased pressure is to shoot a tongue
of flame, hissing and roaring, high iu
air. On a misty night, when the light
is broken up and diffused. the siiow
covcred hills sometimes adding their
redection, the whole sky is brilliantly
illuminated, and the scene N grand and
itcaiitiful. -r- Samuel II'. Hall, in St.
Nicholas.
