A SONG OF SATISFACTION.
I wfll aot chUs bacMsw the ay

For yoe the clouds of deepeniaf pay,
I know are strunlins abaft and ray
Of sunshine's (old.
That for rm tireless warfare keep.
Aad, peradt enture, should I weep.
Just when ay eyes were filled with tears
So full I could not see.
Victoriously Blight gleam their spears.
A victory gained for me
Who bUnded by a childish woe.
The conquest hoar might never know.
I ill not doubt because iny heart
Waits lore delayed:
But hold in check the words that start
With promise false to ease the smart.
Their intent to upbraid;
For but to harbor in my mind
A faithless thought, a word Batiad,
A fear a dread of impish birth
That time might make aw rue.
Would so detract from say poor worth.
And brand my heart untrue.
That all my life would leavened Le
liy this one hour's inconstancy.
Lnl I'm not false that I should fear
My Ufa's reward,
Nor doubtful that I crave to peer
Beyond the view assigned me here
To stray abroad.
What care I, who am heir to all.
For whom the lights and shadows fall.
Tor whom the servant reason turn
For one brief hour's suspense?
I u ill not fear, if I mibt yearn.
But smile n ith joy prepensf.
That my small life is of such cost.
No heart beat will be vainly lost.
Anna K. Kelledy in Times-Democrat.
HOW I WAS DECEIVED.
Blanche Graliain was a beautiful wo
man, with languid, dreamy eyes, yet site
seemed neither indolent nor passionate,
and one would say that even in her re
po6 she was keenly alert. Her lips,
though thin and drawn tightly over her
long but exquisitely white and even
teeth, "yet had in their arches a slight
fullness, which, to the experienced phys
iognomist, is indicative either of un
yielding will or of sensuousness not
sensuality. Her nose was almost Gre
cian in its strength, contour and rigid
nostrils, but there was nothing in her de
meanor to indicate either Grecian haut
eur or Grecian force.
She was beautiful; but was she good,
true and trusty? That question I asked
myself over and over again in the soli
tude of my room, .when, away from the
witchery of her eyes, the 6pell of
her presence, I was drawn to her by a
nameless art. She excited my sympa
thies by a confidence that, to the honor
able mind, is sure to challenge a like re
turn. But, with singular inconsistency,
when I reached each interview, I read in
that artlessness an artifice too deep for
proof, yet apparent to uiy unlimited vi
sion. Over and over again I said, "1 will be
on my guard, and not be led like a bird
to the snare:" and confident of my
strength, I sought her alluring presence
nightly, not seeing, silly boy that I was,
that I was drifting away from the
ground of my reason, and floating on a
tide of passion that might tako me out
iton a troublesome sea.
Tiiat Blanche loved me appeared to me
certain, judging from her confidence and
demeanor; but that she coveted me I saw
juat as cleatly.
Her advances against the citadel of
uiy reserve were indeed cautious, but
they were just as steady as the pressing
of the water against the kink which it is
to overflow; audi, seeing this clearly, yet
made feeble and les feeble efforts to
shake off the inlluer.ee that held me a
prisoner, until one evening found her in
my arms my betrothed!
I had yielded she had won.
When I went home that night I shook
an if with an ague.
With the excess of my passion and
happiness? Ah, no! With unhappiuess.
I saw before me shapes of evil which
would not away.
What a fool I had been! How could I
face my fate? I could not face it, and
so determined to play the coward's part
and run away.
Proceeding to my room in the dormi
tory of the college, I carefully gathered
and packed all my books and superfluous
clothes in ray large, black leather trunk,
which I laleled with a card, "Jolin
Campliell to be called for," and directed
to the care of one of the tutors whose
friendship I knew I could trust. Then,
tilling a carpetbag with my linen and
necessary articles, I stole away unno
ticed, reaching the railway station just
as the midnight express train came thun
dering along.
Next morning I stood in the dining
room of my town residence, to the amaze
ment of my father and mother, and the
unmistakable delight of Alice Edwards.
'What in the world?"' cried mother.
"Is it you. John? What has happened?"
Father said not a word, but awaited in
silence my answer.
Alice'6 eyes beamed gladness. She
could receive me without questions.
I had thought all this over, and, loving
both father and mother, had resolved to
make a "clean breast of it" to them.
This made the answer easy. But Alice!
Did I care to have her know all? Alice,
whom I had fondly loved from her first
advent, a waif, eight years before. That
plain, homely face, not a line of beauty
in it, and yet as full of sweetness as a
rosej would bear the truth indeed,
would be all the happier for the truth, I
thought. I hesitated no longer when
she came up.
'What is it, dear Johnny?"
I kissed her first, then my mother;
shook hands with father, and while the
coffee cooled in the pot told my story,
keeping nothing back.
"Well, my boy, better this than some
thing -worse, but I confess I like not this
midnight flight; it savors of cowardice;
it is not the course of honor."
"I know it father; still I am so per
suaded that this Blanche Graham is all
art and hypocrisy that I cannot give her
the right to the consideration which an
honorable person would claim."
Mother was silent. Alice sighed audi
bly. Why did they neither approve nor
condemn? A woman's heart is a battery
easily charged, yet there are atmospheres
to which it is as dead as if the currents
of feelings and passion were wanting.
Bat he is a dull student of. woman's
natratewho does not see in tins quiescence
the roost positive of all conditions.
I knew that mother saw me as I was;
I felt it in my Boul that she had fathomed
a truth,, up to that moment unconfessed
even to myself, that, despite my flight
and repudiation of the betrothal, I yet
was m the toils of lover sent Unaaeat; I
was neither free nor safe in mysalt,
A pang as keen as a kaife tans shot

alfk wcapstwa her bcdlryprsststsce;
t was im the heart. sot a deadened ot
benumbed sease, bvt a vital, o
ing power. I skivered and sickeaed.
And Alice? She sat staring at me with
those sweet Mae eyes, speaking teader-
pess and pity in their mute
but around the month were lines of
so marked that I started. She arose sad
denly, glided to my aide, bent over and
kissed my forehead and then hurriedly
left the room.
"What aiU Alice, wifeyT '
No reply, save a sad smile.
"I see nothing for it, John, but for
you to go down' to Manchester until this
affair blows over. You can stay there
with my partner, Mr. Custer, Til write
all the explanation necessary. You may
start by the afternoon train."
So it was arranged. I saw nothing of
Alice all that day; but just before I left
the house for the station she caata down
from her room to say good-by. She evi
dently had been weeping, and her pale
face looked thla and pinched, as if she
had suddenly grown to thirty twice her
years.
"What. is it. Alice, darling?" -I ex
claimed, drawing her to my bosom.
"Nothing nothing, Johnny; only
only I am so sorry for what has hap
pened, and that you are going away.
Good-by, Johnny!" and she gave me her
lips to kiss.
Before 1 could recover from surprise
at her unwonted forwardness she had
gone ltack to her room again, and I saw
lier no more.
The next day I sat in Mr. Custer's
office a sober, earnest, thoughtful per
son for one whose years were not yet
twenty-one.
How eagerly I plunged into business!
Full of vigor and youthful elasticity, 1
could not well overwork myself, and yet,
had I been only half as strong, I must
have worked all the same to keep at bay
a misery that at times was almost unen
durable. The shadow of Blanche Graham
never left my side. I grew fairly to
loathe it; but it was there all the same;
and in my dreams we met again, always
as lovers. Do what I could, there was
no forgctfulness for me; and, as the
months whirled away, I became a mys
tery even to myself, so clianged was I
from my old, joyous self. I, too, was
grown old suddenly; twice my real years
seemed to weigh me down.
Mr. and Mrs. Custer naving known
nothing of me before my entrance to
their family circle, of course, detected
no change; but I could Bee by their at
tention and kindness towards me that
they were anxious in my behalf. 3Ir.
Cubter would try to force me away from
work; Mrs. Custer would seek to woo
me into society, would invite the most
charming people to "spend an evening."
But I cannot say I enjoyed any diver
sion; work, action, the assertion of my
self alone appeased my tormenting
shade.
All this time 1 wrote freely and can
didly to fatlier and mother, as ah o did
Mr. Custer, judging from the tone of
letters from home, which warned me
against overwork, and finally threatened
me with removal "if I would persist in
lighting fire with my bare hands," as
father expressed it.
But never a line came from Alice.
She "sends love," mother almost uni
formly added at the end of her long,
confiding communications, but that was
all. and I grew to believe the little,
homely faced creature had really but
slight "interest in me. At which I eighed
more from mortified pride than from
regret, I fear.
Taking the position of traveler, I took
the northern route, and extended the
trade of the house considerably. I be
came browned by exposure, grew a full
beard and became otherwise so changed
that my own parents would hardly have
recognized me. All thoughts of return
ing home were abandoned.
I heard nothing of Blanche Graham
knew not if she were living or dead, and
her memory, after three years' struggle,
became a dead sorrow, but not a forgot
ten one. Little Alice Edwards I remem
bered only as a child whom my good
mother had rescued from want and
brought up a her own a homely hut
thoroughly good creature, whom I hoped
some day to see married to some equally
homely and good man.
One evening I met at dinner a young
woman whom the excellent Mrs. Custer
introduced as her niece Miss Elsie Bates.
She was a fair, sweet faced girl, with a
wealth of liair and a voice of exquisite
richness; and her eyes were those of a
gazelle in their tenderness and luster.
I looked upon her with undisguised
admiration, I suppose, for Iter face was
richly suffused with a flush as I stared
and stammered, "How do you do, Bates?"
at the same moment familiarly grasping
her hand. I could only add, "Excuse
me, Miss Bates; I have been sq much,
among tradespeople of late that I have
become somewhat rude in my manners."
Mr. Custer and his wife laughed heart
ily, and Miss Bates, with great good nat
ure, put me at my ease.
I laughed, and forthwith felt "at home"
with Miss Bates. Nor for a moment did
I put on my armor of defense against a
pretty face, as I had grown to do through
my years of unhappiness.
I did not talk business that night. I
did not go to my club the next night,
but went with Miss Bates to the theatre
and, to make a long story short, I offered
the niece of Mrs. Custer my hand and
heart.
"Are you wholly heart free, John?"
she asked.
The question stung me, not with the
old sense of a dagger thrust, but rather
with that of nettles, for my whole body
grew hot
It was but a passing sense, a little
shock;, and I answered: "Heart whole,
dear Elsie."
''Are you surer" her lips said. But
her eyes, so loving and glowing, an
swered her lips.
In some surprise I said: "I once loved
a woman unworthy of me, and fled from
her. I have for three years fought
against that first passion, and I can say,
in all truth, that I have conque 3d it.
Were she to appear to-night befo.-e me,
I could receive her with indifference."
"Blanche Graham was that woman,"
added Misa Bates.
I sprang to my feet. How did she
know? Who had betrayed my secret?
"How about Alice Edwards did you
not love her?" she persisted, with pro
voking, but happy, inqmeitiveness
happy, if her now radiant face told the
truth.
"Alice Edwards darling littto Alice?
Why I I really never thought of it!
loveher? Yes, I do love her, I believe
the poor, hosaely, sweet tempered
child! She ia a child to ae my foster
sister, aadif asother wnl giva her to as,
bow happy we shall btr
Before. I had finished. Miss Bates arose,
aad stood at my side not in anger, but
ia confidence and trust.
Placing her hand upon my shoulder,
she said, "Alice has grown to be a wo
man, John a not unbeautiful person, 1
am. told. And your mother's letter to
HnvCuster, received today, informs her
thatSthe entire family your father,
motheWndtAJjce will be here in a few
days. NowVJoi.whilejHln not doubt
your love for me, 1 carmaQsfccept your
hand until you have seen Alice, and she
consents that you may take me for your
wife. Nay. do not try to change this
purpose," she added.seeing my disquiet.
"I love you too well to have you make a
further error in your own love life.
Therefore good night, and sweet dreams
to you r And she was gone.
Mrs. Custer came in at the moment.
"Who is Miss Bates, Mrs. Custer?" 1
demanded, somewliat peremptorily.
"Well, sir, she is Miss Bates. I sup
pose. She is, too, I may say, a friend of
your mother's and of Alice Edwards.
She is a very dear girl, and if youcH
win her for a" wife, Mr. Campbell, you
will indeed be a happy man."
And the Jady drew herself up some
wliat proudly, as if to resent anything
I might say to the contrary.
"Humph!" That was not a very ex
pressive rejoinder, but it was all I gave
as I turned alwut sharply, bolted from
the room, and soon was in bed, still won
dering, "Who is Miss Bates?"
I returned late the following evening,
having seen nothing of Miss Bates in the
morning before leaving.
1 was, in fact, in a temper; 1 didn't
care to see her at leat 1 said so to my
self. The first person I confronted in
the hall as 1 entered, ere I had doffed
my hat, was my mother my own dear
mother.
"My boy, is it you?" she sobbed, look
ing wistfully into my face. "Oh, how
clianged, yet my own boy!"
"Your boy, mother, just as ever."
Then fatlier came forward, and happy
was the greeting.
With one upon each arm I entered the
parlor, my eyes wandering searchiuglv
around.
"Where is she--Alice?"
"Alice, darling, come!" cried mother.
The library door opened, and there
fctood Miss Bates!
"Johnny, dear, forgive me!" she cried
as she flew to my arms. "I am Alice
Edwards."
"Alice, darling, is it you?" was all I
could say, as I strained her to my heart.
"There, boy, you've got the right girl
this time!" exclaimed father, slapping
me on the back. "No running away
now, sir, d'ye hear?"
"Dear, dear Johnny!" my beloved
whispered, her lips on my own.
"Dinner," called out Mr. Custer; and
drawing mother away the happiest
mother in all that city father led the
way to the dining room.
What a sight! Had the elves been at
work to transform the house into a
bower of roses? I had read of the
"aroma of dreams." as a poetic fancy:
here was its reality.
The room was festooned with flowers,
the table was loaded with them, and. be
tween two plates lay two magnificent
camellias, tied by a white and blue rib
bon. At these plates wero we ;Alice
and I seated.
The old folks confessed to having
hatched the conspiracy to pass Alice off
as Miss Bates, seeing that she was so
changed in form and feature as to be
unrecognizable by their son, whose in
tense woi k life they so earnestly desired
to break tip. And the result, I was
caught. Alice did feel a trifle guilty
at that "angling for a husband," as Mr.
Custer called U, but she was so supreme
ly happy that she forgot to sigh over her
share in the little game.
Alice became my wife that autumn,
when our dear old home iu the suburbs
of the metropolis witnessed a burst and
blaze of nuptial glory that was a nine
days' wonder. I traced out, as far as
possible, my old college chums, and in
vited.them to the wedding.
To my astonishment not my dismay
there came my class fellow, Charley
Pelton, and on his arm a very beautiful
woman, his wife, in whom I recognized
Blanche Graliam. She had captured a
brave, good soul, but ere tiie evening
had passed I knew that in that soul
rankled a wound too deep for healing,
lie turned from his wife with loathing,
as I saw with eyes that were not to lie
deceived.
Did he know what had been my rela
tion to Blanche? Probably not.
It only needed that ordeal to prove
how dead she was to me, and thus to
consummate a happiness which few men
are permitted to enjoy. Philadelphia

The Snow Flower.
Count AntboskofTs curious discovery
of the snow flower is likely to interest
floriculturists for some time to come, as,
from the accounts given of it, it appears
to be not only a remarkable but a singu
larly beautiful plant It was discovered
on the perpetually frozen ground of Si
beria, but Count Anthoskoff has succeed
ed in raising plants from seed placed in
a pot of snow at St. Petersburg. The
bloom lasts pnly for a single day, and
comes once in two years. A French
contemporary thus describes it: The
leaves are three in number, and each
about three inches in diameter. They
are developed only on that 6ide of the
stem toward the north, and each seems
covered with microscopic crystals of
snow. The flower when it opens is star
shaped, its petals are of the same length
as the leaves, and about half an inch in
width. London Globe.
The History of Batter.
Butter, which is almost indispensable
nowadays, was almost unknown to the
ancients. Herodotus is the earliest writ
er to mention it The Spartans used
butter, but as an ointment, and Plutarch
tells how the wife of Deiotorous once re
ceived a visit from a Spartan lady whose
presence was intolerable because she was
smeared with butter. The Greeks learn
ed of butter from the Scythians and the
Germans showed the Romans how it was
made. The Romans, however, did not
use it for food, but for anointing their
bodies. Exchange.

NEW BRAZIL FUG
Fails of Recognition by British
Forts and Vessels.
FURTHER NEWS FROM STANLEY.
The Ksplorar Not Kxpected to Reach I.oa
rfeei far Two Month Flva Hundred Mb
ImminmIm PllgriMs Co Down la the
.fftaaSca.
Londo.v, Nov. 20. The fjagof thesjew
Brazilian republic was hoisted for the
first time in English waters with a re
sult that must have been discouraging
to the over-zealous officer who made
haste to display his colors in advance of
formal recognition of the government
whase emblem was thas flaunted. The
occasion of the display was the arrival
at Plymouth of the Brazilian warship, to
receive which the usual preparations
were made by (lie British war vessels
and forts, and the customary signal to
salute was awaited from the flagship of
Admiral Sir William Montague Dowell,
when the flag of the "United States
of Brazil" was displayed instead
of the expected imperial ensign.
The admiral sent a request to the
Brazilian commander to hoist the
recognized flag of Brazil, or at
ieat not to run up any other. The Bra
zilian captain declined to comply with
the request, and the British forts and
warships lemaiueU silent. It is proba
ble that the captain of the Brazilian
ship will make such representation of
the affair as will call forth an intima
tion of England's attitude with regard
to the new South American government
from the foreign office.
Another letter froaa Stanley.
London, Nov. iO. Sir William Mc
Kinnon has received another letter from
Henry M. Staidey, written by the ex
plorer from his camp at Kizinga Uzanja
on Aug. 17, wherein he said Emin, with
Selim Bey. seven officers and sixty
five people, arrived at Stanley's
camp on Feb. 17. Lieut Stairs
arrived on Feb. 18 with his
column. Stanley goes on to say that he
explained the object of his visit and of
fered to wait a reasonable time for
Emin. The letter shows that there was
much delay on the part of Emin, who
appeared to have an obstinate belief in
his forces. "On April 5," Stanley con
tinues, "Emin informed me that but few
of his servants would go. Here was a
disappointment. Out of 1,000 only a few
were wiling to accompany me." So on
April 10. after gathering all the pasha's
people possible, and forcing them ;o
abandon their rebellious conduct, he
started. On the 1-th he camped at Ma
zambonia, whf re Stanley was overcome
with an illness which nearly proved
fatal.
Stanley gives a graphic description of
the Semliki country and river, which Is
a powerful stream from 80 to 100 yards
wide. In tins region he had a fight
with the Warasma- tribes, but suffered
no fatalities. The march was resumed
on May 8, the party skirting the Balogga
mountaiusTorty miles from the Victoria
Nyanza. Arriving at the south end of
the mountain he hail a successful en
counter with King Unjoro, which cleared
the route to the Semliki river.
Stanley is not likely to return to L n
don before the end of January. He will
probably remain some time at Monk
bassi to give the benefit of his exeri
2iice to Mr. George McKenzie. who Ls

Washington, Nov. 3. The ost pub
lishes a table giving the streugth of five
prominent Republican candidates for the
'lieakeivhip of the house. It gives to
Mr. Heed SO voUs, to Mr. McKinley 47.
Mr. Cannon 34, Mr Henderson IS, and
Mr. Burrows 12. Seventeen votes are
recorded as doubtful and likely to lie
scattered among the various candidates.
Many of these scattering votes, i U
thought, will go to the man who lias the
best chance of winning. If this is not
elear by the time the caucus asnembles
(hey will be cast on the early ballots for
those candidates who are lowest iu the
order of prolmbilities, which will afford
the opportunity of holding a reserve
vote lor a critical period. In thU
table Mr. Henderson is credited
with 13 votes, though he only claims 1G
those of the Iowa delegation. At the
headquarters pf the other candidates,
iliweer 13 votes are conceded to him
t the outset, so that he perhaps presents
the rare spectacle of a candidate under
estimating his own strength. Mr. Mc
Kinley 's friends 1 elieve that all he now
needs to win is to hold solidly his present
strength, because he is the Bjrqngrst -

The Cost X Sport la Scotland.
No one but a millionaire, or at all
events, a. capitalist, will think of hiring a.
deer forest. And yet there are deer for
ests with fishing which are not highly
rented for men of modest mean-; and a
quiet mode of life. The lodge -ty, the
champagne luncheons, the racket and
fashion of the West end transported to
Glen Sneeshin these are what render
deer stalking expensive. Still it is com
puted that each deer that s shot costs :'s
slayer fifty guineas. There are pver a
hundred deer forests in Scotland, some
(like the forest of Mar, Bi::-kmount or
GIenstrathfarrar)of immense extent, the
first of those named comprising SOOQ
acres. They occupy about 3,000.000. acres
on the whole.
Estimating their rental at 2s Cd per
acre, this alone amounts to 150,000.
The, cost of living and various other
modes of outlay will certainly add 50.
000 to these figures. Ample is the har
vest of gold which the Pactolus pf d.eer
stalking rolls through soiqs of the most
barren districts of the Highlands.
Turning, however, by an easy transi
tion to a grouse moor (we have seen a
forest and a moor separated in ""Scotland
by a few strands of wire), here rents are
much easier, yet each brace of grouse
shot is supposed to cost the sportsman L
Moors stand at from lOd to 2s or 2s 6d.
per acre, with lodges upon them. Taking
a case, for instance, where . the rental
would be 2s per aero, a shooting of 1,000
acres would cost the lessee 100, and the
area of heather ought to hold a hundred
brace of grousel while fifty brace would
be left as breeding dock.
There are not les than 2,400 shootings
in Scotland (in addition to the deer for
eats) which hold grouse as well as other
birds of sport, la Perthshire aloae
are about 400 distinct estates. Ia gooa
season it ia estimated that 00O.WO brace
of grouse will be shot ia Scotland, which
represent the same number of pounds ia
rent Traveling and living mast, of
course, be included in the costliness of
these moors.
Taking on an average ten sportamea
annually as visiting each of tliese forests
and moors. 25,000 persons, besides ladies,
children and servants, have to be trans
ported to and fro. and if 20 each be al
lowed for this purpose, the modest sura
of 500.000 must be added to the amount
of rental In this way it is tent at a
glance what an estimable vulne sport ia
to the economical condition of Scotland.

There is quite a demand for old shoes.
It comes, of course, from the poorer and
poorest classes, but I am sometimes sur
prised at the respectable appearance of
applicants for cast-off shoes. Recently
a gentleman ia, reduced circumstances,
but' whose clothes were so neat that one
had to look twice to see that they were
threadbare and much mended, came in
the storo aud asked to see me privately.
He then adopted a confidential tone, told
me how much cash he had, aud asked
mo if 1 couldn't oblige him with a decern
looking pair of cast-off shoes. He was
an old customer, and had been a prompt
payer, so for once 1 let a feeling of
charity overcome strict business princi
ples, and made him a present of a new
pair. 1 never sell old shoes, and very
few first class dealers do so. When a
customer wears his new purchase and
leaves his eld shoes behind I give the lat
ter to the colored man h ho cleaus out
the store, and what he does u ith his per
quisites 1 neither know uor care. Gen
erally 1 hey are too much worn to be
worth a quarter, but sometimes a little
mending woultl make an old pair of
shoes very serviceable. Interview in St
Louis Globe-Democrat
Livy ob a Ilacquet llat.
Iii an interesting article on the romance
of literary discovery u writer iu an Eng
lish periodical uamesunumlerof notable
book recoveries in ancient times. Among
tliese is Homer's "Odyssey," 300 lines of
which were found grasped in the hands
of amummy at Monfaiont: one of Cicero's
most interesting treatises, which was
found amid a heap of refuse near Milan
by a bishop of Lodi early in the Fifteenth
century, and the well known instance of
the recovery of the original manuscript
of Magua Cliarla from the hands of a
tailor who was cutting it up for patterns.
An equally singular recovery was that
of a small poition of what was supposed
to be one of the lost books of Livy. The
tutor of a French nobleman in the Fif
teenth century was playing tennis, when
he chanced to notice that his racquet bat
was made of parchment covered with
writing. As he was a good scholar he
succeeded in deciphering it, and found
that it was a piece of historical Latin
prose, in very much the style of Livy.
He instantly hurried to tho racquet
maker, but in vain. The man could
only tell him tliat ho had fallen in with
a mass of pnrchuicut. and that it had
long since been used up in the making
of racquet bats. Chicago Herald.
Young- Men la Pnbllc Life.
It is no easy matter, if, indeed, it is
possible, to fix the time at which it is
proper for a man to enter upon public
life, supposing that he can enter upon it
atalL The question is quite prominent
just now. Pitt was a very young man
but a little past 20 when he took the
reins of the British government into his
inexperienced hands. Burke was So
when he entered parliament, though he
had previously been attache of "Single
Speech" Hamilton, secretary of Lord
Halifax in Ireland, and afterward pri
vate secietary of Lord Rockingham while
the latter s one year ministry lasted. And
so a crowd of less notable illustrr.'.ions
might be cited.
But no average of circumstauce? will
suffice to establish a rule in the case. It
must ever bo a matter of perpetual
chance and discovery. One man does
his liest work in a. very short time and
early in life, when another doe.; not
fairly come to it till he is at middle life,
and even later. Aud what a young man
Ls specially good for, and for that reason
specially inclined to an, older one would
regard as wholly out of the reach of his
desires. The fully matured" public man
is a different being fron o beginner.
Aud if he has htinbnded his powers he
generally possesses as good a stock of
the energy of youth as any situation in
which is he placed may require. Boston
Herald.
A Pretty Pletare.
I was at one of the fashionable thoat res
uptown, and theie I noticed fashion in
the application instead of the abstract,
aud it really is far nicer to see pretty
dresses on moving models, and hats and
bonnets over real faces. I saw one
superb woman sweep in that's a. good
word, "sweep in" wfth. a. dress of sil
very satin, cut square in the neck and
with a inassaof white and pink brocaded
silk with gray fur borderings hanging
loosely from her shoulders, while her
golden hair was surmounted by a white
bonnet with pink and gray tips. No end
of diamonds glittered on her arms and iq
her ears, and I asked who she was and
nobody seemed to know, and yet she
acted as if t.h& whole place belonged to
Uer..
Beside her nestled a little body with
big eyes and a sweet young face, and she
wore a quiet little drab suit, and I was told
that she was Annie Russell, the sweetest
little woman jn, the world. So you see
it is t.h& fashion to wear what you please
at church, on the street or in the theatre,
but don't let what pleases you be out of
fashion. Olive Harper.

Everything in the country of tho River

briel Bouvaloi as covered with salt It
is seen in the walls of the houses and on
the banks of the rivers, and the water
one drinks is very salt Traveling salt
peter makers go in summer from place to
place wherever they can find material to
work upon. Their mode of operation is
a rough-and-ready one. Holes in the
earth serve as vats and boilers, and below
these are placed ovens. Abundance of
brushwood supplies material for the
fires. The workers collect from the sur
face of the earth heaps of compost of
salt and animal manure. This is soaked
for twenty-four hours In water, then fil
tered, and then boiled for twenty-four
hours, cleansed and placed in the taa.ao
