THE EVENING STAR.
Ere the twilight duskier grew,
Lavish <lav o'er the hill summit drew
Her spread snleudor. unspent, to the west:
Slowly, then, in the fathomless deep
Of the luminous sky asleep,
It evanished beyond any quest.
And the purple mountains vast.
When the glorj ot sunset had past.
In stern silence hung over the land,
And toward up in the sky
Like a life's ambition: and lugh
On their flank burned a lire like a brand.
Then the air that had glowed thro' and thro'
With the light, became changed to a blue
Dome of steel at the coming of night,
And the wind which had driven his flocks
To their pasture on loftier rocks
Quickly sank, lalnt and tired of flight.
And the sounds of the day were dead,
And the hush of the twilight spread
Till existence awaited, aware
Of a coming, a new avatar
or Us spirit, aucii oi .r<\r,
A preseuce uukuown that was fair .
Where the mountain's profile throws
A billowy line, there uprose
Through the tremulous ethei a star!
From its nest in tin? loftiest crest.
Where it had hidden unguessed.
Uprose and outshoue the fair star!
CLOUD FANCIES.
Billows of clouds, like foam of the sea.
Surging and drifting in blue expanse;
Mountains of clouds, piled high and free-
Armies of clouus, iu a swiu advance.
Far o'er that distant and lovely space,
I see them parting—l see them meet:
And then 1 think of an eager race,
Of white-sailed ships in a dainty fleet.
And now they form in a bright array,—
Castles of marble all fair and white;
With tower and turret, where shadows gray
Seem ever losing themselves in light.
When sunset falls, and the clouds that wait
Are rosv tinted o'er cloth of gold,
I know that somewhere a pearly gate
Was left ajar when the day grew old.
That Golden Curl.
Perry Dayton sat iu bis stuffy little
office, busilv glaucing oyer a heap of
letters which that morning's post had
brought for the establishment of
Messrs. Park and Haily. He came to
one addressed in a peculiarly d duty
feminine hand, and opened it with a
little more curiosity than he had de
signed to bestow upon the others.
"Enclosed please find invisible
hair net color of hair sent. xVd
dress Miss Ella Terrell, Oakhaven,"
etcetera.
"Miss Ella Terrell has very lovely
hair," thought the young man,examin
ing the long curl attentively. It was
golden brown, and shone radiantly in
the beams of sunlight which at that
particular moment came pouriug in
at the little window. "Perhaps,
though, it is not her own hair."
However he laid the letter and soft
coil aside, resolving to match that in
visible net himself.
It was very strange, but a vision of
a young lady with golden brown hair
would keep intruding itself between
his eyes and the remaining letters.
Sometimes brown eys'accompat.ied the
hair, sometimes blue. Now it was a
petite figure—again "divinely tall and
most divinely fait."
Having skimmed 'over them all he
betook himself to that compartment of
the establishment devoted to such ar
ticles as the one required. Box after
box he examined, and tuf ued away dis
satisfied. He began to dispair. Ilete
was the identical one at last. lie car
ried it in triumph to the office and be
gan to write :
"I have, my dear Miss Ella, at last
found one to match your beautiful curl.
I hope "
"What bosh I am writing 1 Why,
Perry, old boy, you're clean gone !" he
exclaimed, tossing the offending miss
ive in the waste basket.
Enclosing the article in a wrapper,he
addressed it, and laid it with similar
parcels on a shelf, at the same time
consigning the curl to his vest pocket.
"Of course you are aware, Mr. Day
ton, that someone must go north short
ly to attend to that business in Liver
pool ; and as we have found you faitn
ful in the dissharge of your duties, and
place the utmost confidence in your
judgement, Mr. Ilaily and myself have
decided that you are the one to go."
Thus spoke the senior partner, com
ing into the office where Perry was sit
ting. This happened a few months lat
er. Perry's beaming face fully express
ed his appreciation of .this mark of es
teem.
He waS to start in two days. This
was Thursday. The next Wednesday
morning found our friend taking break
fast at the "Adelphia Hotel," Liver
pool. The business would probably
keep him there a month or so. He had
plenty of leisure time, and devoted it
to yiewing the sights.
One eveniug he entered the office of
a young fellow connected with the bus
iness house of Park and llaiiy. and
fouud him making an elaborate toil
ette.
Why this unusual and unnatural re
gard for thy appearance,O Trevelyn ?"
he exclaimed advancing into the room
where his friend stood.
"I am going to a party. Don't you
want to come ?"
"Yes. "Where is it ?"
•'At Old Swan,four miles away. We
will take a cab at eight precisely."
Trevelyn was well known and liked
at Old Swan. He had lived there sev
eral years, and so it was that Perry
was presented to some of the nicest

people in the place.
He was talking rvitli Mrs. Langdon
when he discovered that Trevelyn was
dancing with a pretty young lady. She
had dark eyes, a small oval face, and
was dressed in some airy, floating ma
terial. Rut her hair attracted his at
tention particularly. It reminded him
of a curly lock which ho had carried a
bout for several months. And then
she wore an invisible net, which was
probable what caused him to remember
that other lock.
"Don't you agree with me, Mr. Day
ton ?"
"Oh, yes, indeed !" ho said having
not 'the slightest idea of what Mrs.
Langdon was talking about.
The waltz came to an end at last,and
the two found their way to whore our
friends were seated.
"Won't you introduce me to the fair
dancer ?" Dayton asked at the earliest
opportunity.
"Was Miss Terrell engaged for the
next dance ?" A glance at a dainty
programme proved the contrary.
"Might he hive the pleasure ?"
"Yes."
What a delightful turn that was !
Dayton had never enjoyed anything so
much. 110 had somo thought of tell
ing Miss Terrell that a lock of that
mass of wavy hair was at that moment
lodged in his pocket. A propituous
fate permitted him to dauce again
with her during the evening, and eveu
to accompany their party to supper
The next day Trevelyii and Dayton
called to pay their respects at the Ter
rell mausion. This was not the last
time. And then Perry fell into the
habit of going without Trevelyn. The
weeks slipped quietly, and at length
Perry discovered that he was madlv,
wildly, hopelessly in love with the fair
owner of the fateful net.
One day there was to bo a picnic.
Nature exerted herself to tho utmost
on this particular occasion. No one
had ever experienced a more delightful
ly pure atmosphere. How fresh every
thing looked !—how sweetly the birds
sang ! A winding road through the
trees led them at length to just the sort
of place they were looking for. Then
came the bustle of alighting and col
lecting the baskets, and all sat down
for a general chat before going off in
exploring parties.
The delights of picnics were being
warmly discussed, when a gray-clad
gentleman on horseback seen ap
proaching through the trees at one
side.
He seemed in nowise discomGted by
numerous pairs of eyes bent upon him.
"Why, Reggy, where did you come
from ?" cried Miss Ella, prettily ;
while the pater et mater shook him
warmly ty the hand.
"I found myself able to be with you
earlier than I expected. Thev told me
you were all booked for the day, so I
determined to follow suit."
"It is so nice that you happened to
come on this particular day ! We are
going to Lave such a nice day J" said
Mrs. Terrell.
"I'm not so sure of that," solilo
quized Dayton, gloomily, remarking
how pleased Ella seemed at the advent
of this stranger.
"Mr. Dayton—Mr. Greydon," came
at last ; and our friend found the keen,
gray eyes giving him a searching look
during the process of a graceful bow.
"I think Princess would thank me
for a drink of watei."
And Greydon proceeded to lead the
handsome animal to the stream a few
steps off.
Ella, excusing herself gracefully, ac
companied Mr. Gieydon. Already
daggers of jealously seemed piercing
Dayton's heart.
"When is the wedding to come off?''
he heard someone ask Mrs. Terrell.
"Then they are engaged ! Why
didn't someono tell me before I made
such an utter fool of myself ?" he
gi oaned.
Eyeryone thought this precise mo
ment a suitable time for exploring tours
and seperated into groups.
The poor fellow wandered off by him
self, he did not care whither. His brain
seemed on fire. He was desperately in
love. Why had she always seemed so
pleased to see him ? lie had thought
so differeutly of her ! What an idiot
he was to go on loving the girl I One
who could act so falsely was not
worthy of his affection. These were
some of hia excited thoughts.
He would go back. lie would show
her that this strangr's presence made
not the slightest difference to him.
He turned hastily and discoyered
that he had wandered some distance.
Arrived at the spot, he found Miss
Ella, evidently much fatigued, alone.
He approached, and made a remark
about the weather. O commonplace
young man I
"I was just wishing for someone to
come, and had a vague idea that the
nymph of the stream might venture to
show herself if no one else appeared,"
she said languidly fanning her flaming

cheeks.
"I will retire in favor of the
nymph."
"No ; I would rather see you now,
haying no energy left for the contem
plation of naiads."
Dayton's face lighted up for an in
stant, and then resumed its gloomy
expression.
"Mr. Greydon has gone, and 1 sup
pose everyone else is off enjoying them
selves," continued Ella.
"1 thought Mr. Greydon was a fixt
ure ; had come on purpose to seo you
—that is "
"Dear me. no !" laughed Ella. "lie
is on his way to my Aunt liattie's,
who lives in Liverpool. lie is to mar
ry my cousin in August, and only stop
ped hero to consult papa about some
thing."
"Miss Terrell—Ella—dear Ella ! I
have been such a fool !"
Of course no right-minded person
would like to intrude on tho conversa
tion which followed ; suftice it to say
that two weddings came off in August
' instead of one, and one happy pair con
sisted of Ella Terrell and Mr. Perrv
Dayton.
Four Wealthy Women.
Some of the very rich women of New-
York have many peculiar it its. Mrs.
Stewart, for instance, never opens her
front windows, and she goes out driv
ing so seldom that even the neighbors
on the adjoining block do not know
her. Sho is a sincere Christian, be
lieving more firmly in the English
Church than any other, and yet wor
shiping more to suit her own quiet
taste than according to any set tenets
of faith. She does not care for person
al appearenee and does not dress half
so neatly as her servants. She walks
out of pleasant afternons twice or
thrice a week, and while always accom
panied at a respectful distance by a
strong manservant, she looks so com
monplace that not one of the multitude
are aware that sue is the richest
widow in the world. Mrs. Steward al
ways carries goodly sized coins for
beggars.
Miss Wolfe differs from Mrs. Stew
ard in this respect: When she meets a
beggar she must know his or her ref
erences before doing anything of a sub
stantial nature. It is a very diflicult
matter to fix the age of Miss Wolfe.
She is no longer young and vet she does
not look old. She possesses a face of
the type which never ages. There is a
story about her having loved a brave
fellow some years ago.and that he pass
ed away befoie the day agreed upon for
their wedding, and when he was bur
ied her heart also was put away in the
tomb. It is a pretty rotn nice, all de
votion,nothing but truth and pureness,
and she now devotes her life to charity.
Mrs. Goelet, like her late husband, is
of a retiring disposition. For inter
vals of weeks she will remain closely at
home, out to all callers, and then again
she will be seen at every place of note
in the city. Her jewels are said to be
the finest private collection in the coun
try. The Goelets were always a curi
ous family.
But the most sensible and attractive
of the rich ladies of New York whom
this articlo has culled to mind is Mrs.
Marshall O. Roberts. The widow of
a mining king, intelligent, cultured
and handsome, she. [with $8,000,000 in
her own right, numbers her suiters by
the dozen. Some time ago, it will be
readily recalled, the goesips said that
she proposed to enter the White House
as the wife of Arthur and its mistress.
According to an informant of mine,
Mrs. Roberts, when the story came to
her ears, burst into crying as though
her heart would break, pronounced it
false and supplemented it with the
statement that she would never again
go to the altr a as an expectant bride.
She is the centre of a social circle of
brave men atid women, does a great
deal mi aid of literature and art, and is
well known to the poor of the Five
Points and the east side.
TIIE NEW MORMAN TEMPLE. —The
main walls of the new temple of the
Mormans in Salt Lake, have been
completed within the past week. The
first stone was laid twenty eight years
ago. The material is granite, like
Maine granite, full of shining mica
necks and is hauled from the moun
tains back of Salt Lake with oxen on
enormous wagons with wheels twelve
feet high. The walls are exceedingly
thick—ten feet—and the height is
eighty-five feet. The cost to date,paid
bv tithings, has been $4,500,000,
and six more years of work will be re
cpiired to complete the structure. It
has come to stay, whether Morman ism
has or not, and it has been predicted
that some day the Senate of Utah, re
deemed and purged of polygamy, will
own it aud use it for a capitol.

That B id Boy.
"When pa and I got to Chicago,"
said tho bad boy, " we walked around

and lie\>nt mo to hod in tho tavern and
went out to walk around and get res

bout the hotel. 1 thought pa had gone
to the tlieatie, and that made uia mad,
and 1 thought 1 would pay him for all
1 was worth. Our room was 213 and
the next room was 212, and there was
an old ma'd with a Scotch terrier occu
pied 212. 1 saw her twice as she called
me names, 'cause she thought I wanted
to steal her dug. That made me mad
with her, so 1 took my jack-knife and
drew the tacks out of tin tin thing
that the numbers were painted on, and
put the old maid's number oi our door,
and then I went to bed. I tried to
keen awake so as to help pi if he had
any difficulty, but I rather gtess I got
to sleep, but woke up when the dog
barked. If the dog had net woke me

that had'nt pa would. You see, pa
came home troin tho tlieatri about 12,
and ho had been drinking. lie says
everybody drinks when they go to
Chicago, even the minister. Pa looked
at the number on the doors, all along
the hall till he found 212, and he walk
ed right in and pulled off his coat and
threw it on the lounge, where the dog
was. The old maid was asleep, but
the'dog barked, and pa .-.aid, 'that cus
sed boy has bought a dog!' and the old
maid woke up and said, 'What is the
matter with you, pet?' l\i luffed and
said, I'Nuthm' the mazzer with me,

the yelling. The old maid covered her
head and kicked and yelled, and the
dog snarled and bit pa on the pants,
and pa hart his vest off and his suspen

and took his coat and vest and went
out into the hall, and I opened the
door and told pa he was in the wrong
room and I kttowed it, and lie came in
our room and I locked the door, and
the bell-boy and the clerks airae to see
what ailed the old maid, and she said a
burglar got in her room, and they
found pa's hat on the lounge, and they
took it and told her to be quiet, and
that they would find the burglar.
Pa was no scared thai he sweat like

Matches in Cotton.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa,
asserts that large importers of Ameri
can cotton in that city have found
match-boxes, and even handfuls of
matches, artfully dispersed here and
there inside the bales, with evident in
tention of setting the cottun on lire,
through the action of that development
of heat which is often caused by the
cotton being insufficiently dried before
it is packed.
Locking tho Tower.
The locking up of the Tower of Lon
don at night is one of tho cumbersome
old eermonies still in usp. A few min
utes before the clock strikes eleven,
the porter with an attendant, appears
Imi fore the main guard house, carry ing
a lantern, ami calls on 4 Escort Keys.'
The guard, supplied always from the
Queen's household troops, then turns
out and escorts 'Keys' outer gate, call
ed the' Spur,' each sentry challenging
;ts they pass his post. 'Who goes
there?' 'Keys.' After the gates are
securely locked and barred the process
ion returns, the sentries exacting the
same explanation as before. When
they come in front of the main guard
house the sentry stationed there gives
a loud stamp on the ground with his
foot| and demands 4 Who goes there?'
'Keys.' 'Whose keys?' 'Qtuen Vic
toria's keys.' 'Pass Queen Victorie's
keys and all's well.' The porter then
calls out,' God bless Queen Victoria!,
to which the main guard responded,
'Amen., The guard then present arms,
the officer kisses ttie hilt of his sword
and the keys are deposited in the Lieu
tenant's lodgings. After this all in
gress or egress is impossible. It some
times happens that strangers visiting
the pile do not get out before the time
comes for locking up* In that r vent
they may have to sleep—or keep awake
—on benches in the guard room.
Frost in the Cellar.
While it is true that all kinds of
fruit and vegetables will keep better in
a cellar with the temperature as near
freezing as may be without injury, it is
also desir able that there be proper
protection afforded to prevent the eu
trar.ee of frost when there is a season
of protracted and severe cold. With
out some protection, at such tunes
frost is liable to enter unawares, and do
much mischief to botn fruit and vegi
tables. In olden times it was believed
to be neccessary to 'bank up the house'
with earth, but this practice has given
way to one equally as effective and
much easier, and that is by the use of
leaves. Set boards or planks up on their
edges a little distance from the under
pinning, supported by stakes driven in
the'ground, and then coyer all the in
tervening space ;is compactly as possi
ble with leaves, and all the protection
reccessary will be afforded. If the cel
lar becomes too warm at any time the
temperature can be reduced by ventil
ators when cold weather is approach
ing, rather than to take chances with
out protection. —JV. E. Farmer.
California Rainfall.
Careful records prove that the rain
fall of California about every six or sev
en yars shows a remarkable shrink
age, amounting to nearly half. Tak
ing the cycle of six years, the average
rainfall is quite constant, but there is
some increase. The San Fancisco Bul
letin says : "The number of years
which haye elapsed since the last
drouth is seven, and it will be seen
that drouths have come in either six or
seven years. The evident increase in
the yearly rainfall is attributed to the
influence of the increased cultivation
of the soil, and the large number of
trees which have been planted in dif
ferent parts of the State, and which
are now beginning to exercise the ef
fect which they always have upon the
quantity of rain falling."

Comfort for late Risers.
The ethics <>f good sleep should form
a part of household morality. It is
hardly an extravagant assertion that
comparatively few people, afier child
hood is passed, know by experience
what perfect sleep is, and satisfy them
selves with a poor apology for this most
pel feet refreshment. Rising tired and
weary from a disturbed, imperfect
sleep, they proceed to summon up lost
energies by strong tea or coffee, which
in its turn again interferes with per
fect rest at night, and this process of
life, more than any mental or physical
labor, wears women out and makes
them prematurely old. "I have been
reading myself to sleep after retiring,"
said a woman the other day ; 4 'and
when I have done this for two or three
nights 1 can see that I .look five years
older." It is an experience that any
woman can verify, and, conversely,she
can see that sleeping in a perfectly dark
and well-ventilated room brings back
the contour and the roses of childhood
or early youth.
The most perfect sleep is obtained by
carefully closing the blinds, raising and
lowering (lie windows to admit plenty
of pure air, and drawing down the
heavy sh ides, thus making the room
perfectly dark. Then,on going to bed,
go there to sleep, not to write or read,
or think or plan, but for that most val
uable of all things, the foundation of
all activity and energy—perfect sleep.
A few nights of this experienced will,
work a magic transformation in looks
and feelings.
Above all, let us divest ourselves of
a traditional prejudice that there is
somehow virtue in early rising. When
early sleep is obtained, early rising is
indicated by nature by waking ; but
artificially produced it is pernicious.
Unless there is an exceptional reason,
it is far wiser to sleep till one wakens
naturally, and one hv.ur then will do
the work of three when one comes to it
tired—unfreshed. "Nature's sweet re
storer" is of all things the most invig
orating.
The Result of James Nutt's Trial
foretold by a Dreamer.
Fred Joyce, of Youngs town, Ohio,
who is regarded as the champion
dreamer, claims to have dreamed a
couple nights ago of the Nntt trial,
the vision carrying him clear through
the case. The trial, he says, will last
two weeks, will he full of sensations
and altogether will be one of the most
noteworthy murder trials on record.
The pleas on either side will be the
finest ever delivered by man. The
charge of the Judge will be evenly
balanced and the jury will go out,
while scores of ladies will pray aloud
for the prisoner. In just forty-five
minutes after the jury retires a ver
dict of not guilty will l>e rendered.
There will then be great manifesta
tions of joy in Pittsburg and young
Xutt will be feted, dined and loaded
with presents. lie will remain in
Pittsburg four days after his acquittal
and will then return home.

"Husband, you'll have to go and
call that boy yourself. I can't make
him get up. He sleeps as if ho were
a log." "Oh, well, Maria, the boy
can't help it. It's fate. He was born
to lie a policeman."
"Been down to Tugstrap'a stable.
I tell you he's got some splendid horse
flesh in it." "Has he ? Wonder he

frames lie had out this morning."
At the bank: "I have a note here
that's due to-day. I'd like to get the

ey." "We cannot possibly let it go
over." "That is, I have the money,
but—" " All right, I gness we can ac
commodate you. If you've got the

Among the reasons urged by a Peo
ria, 111. woman for a divorce are :
Drunken ess, swearing, obscenity, ar

They were talking about music and
the drama at the table of their host,
who, as they were already well aware,
owed his fortune to his own unaided
exertions. " You are fond of Rossini V
asked one of the guests. "Passion
ately," replied the host. " Know his

er patronized the man. Have shaved
mvseif for the last forty years.
44 Dont you think, husband, that
you arc apt to believe everything you
hear ?" "No, madam, not when you
tulk.'
4 Have you ever seen a mermaid,
captain V asked a lady on board the
Margate boat. 4 I've seen a good
many fish women, madam, if that's
what you mean, ' was the reply.
EXERCISE.—Said a young doctor to
a lady patient: 4 You must take ex
ercise for your health, my dear. ' 4 All
right, ' she said ; 4 I'll jump at the first
offer.' They were married about six
months afterward.
A CHICAGO PARTINGTON.—An In
diana Avenue lady dropped in on one
of her neighbors for an afternoon call.
44 How is your daughter ?" she inquir
ed. 44 Splendid. She has just got
back from the State Normal School,
where she ciphered clear through from
ambition to chemical fractures, and
then she took up pottery and jobbery,
and says she can speculate the inter

The following curious incident act
ually occured recently: Whilst a clergy
man was in the midst of his sermon a
person entered the church and in the
coolest manner possible sauntered up
the aisle. No sooner had the preach
er's eye lighted on the new-comer than
dropping the thread of his sermon he
said to him, 4 Coine in, my friend,come
in; we are always glad to see those
here late who can't come early.' The
unknown individual stepped forward,
coolly took his seat, and then as coolly
asked the preacher, 4 Would you oblige
me with the text?' 4 Certaiuly.' wasthe
reply, and the request haying been
complied with, the sermon proceeded.
SCHOTT AND NOTT.—A duel was
lately fought in Texas by Alexander
Shott aud John S. Nott. Nott was
not shot, and Shott was not. In this
case it is better to be Shott than Nott.
There was a rumor that Nott was not
shot, and Shott avows that he shot
Nott, which proves either that the shot
Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or
that Nott was shot notwithstanding.
Circumstantial evidence is not always
good. It may be made to appear OD
trial that the shot Shott shot shot
Nott, or, as accideuts with firearms
are frequent, it may possible that the
shot Shott shot shot Shott himself,
when the whole affair would resolve
itself into its original elements, and
Shott would be shot, and Nott would
be not. We think, however, that the
shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but
Nott ; anyway, it is hard to tell who
was shot.
Who will adhere to him that aban
dons himself.
To rule one's anger is well: to pre
vent it is better.
Books,like friends,should be few and
well chosen.
Charity comes too late that cornea
for the asking.
To know how to wait is the great
secret of success.
Chastity, once lost, cannot be re
called ; it goes only once.
We are as liable to be corrupted by
books as by companions.'
