Thoj c irgtowj splendid on tlio mountnln Bleep,
Now lingers long thowirm nud gorgeous light,
Dylug by slow degrees lulo the deep
Delicious night,
The filial triumph of tho perfect year.
Rises tho woods' magnificent nrrny j
lleyond tho purple mountnln bights appear
And slope away,
Tho elm, with muslcnl, slow motion, leaves
His long, lllho branches on tho tender air ',
Whllofrom his topof gray, eordclo waves
IlWrcarlel hair.
Where Spring first hi 1 her violets 'neath tho
fern,
Whero Bummer's fingers opened, fold on fold,
The odorous, wild, rod rose'd head, no,v burn
Tho leaves of gold.
Tho loftlost hlll-tho lowliest flowering hcrb-
TI10 fairest fruit of season and of cllmo
Atl wear nllko tho mood of tho superb
Autumnal time.
Now natuto rour her l.tst and noblest wlno ;
Like somo Ilnrebiiile., beside tlio shining
btrenms
Reclines enchanted day, wrapped In divine,
Impasslonod dreams.
Rut whero tlio ji tinted leaves aro falling fast,
Among tho vnluj, beyond Iho r-irthest hill,
Thpvo slls a Bhadow illm, nnd sad, aud vnst,
And lingers still.
And still wo hoar a volco among tho hlll.s
A volco that moans nmouj the lmuutod
woratt,

a 3ni)i)i.i:-AGi:i) i.on: stouy.
Thoy bad come, ft llttlo group of
friendly faces, to watch mo off, with
waving handkerchiefs and kindly good
bys, and I stood on tlio stern, nodding
and waving back, till tho steamcrswept
down tho river out of sight.
I know I should havo their prayers
that tho great sea might bo gentlo with
mo; I know they would watch tho
weather and look for the telegram of tho
arrival of our ship; yet I know I was
taking nothing from their lives, and
that they would each go homo hardly
missing mo; so it was with no great
wrench of heart that I saw tho pilot put
off from us, and took tho last look at
my nativo shores.
During most of tho passago 1 wasju3t
comfortably seasick, so I sot all tho day
long in a reclining chair on dcck.watch
ing tho whito caps on tlio purplo and
green and bltto waves that mounted and
fell down and up, up nud down, away
out to tho far horizon. I saw tho shin
ing nautiluses float by, now and then a
whale, or a shoal of porpoises, or a sail,
speeding whito and full across tho wa
ter. I axw also a good many other things
nearer by, for I didn't put my eyes in
my pocket along with my short-sighted
glas-e.s, and nobody was much likely to
mind a middlonged woman in hood and
water-proof.
Tho first thing I saw was nyoungigirl
with dark oyes and brown hair that
rippled itself into a tanglo of rough
curls whenever sho took off her not.
SIio v.w not so very pretty nor so very
brilliant; but thero was n piquant
charm about her that attracted half tho
passengers before tho first day was over.
By tho end of thosecond day ovorybody,
from tho captain to tlio ship's surgeon,
and from tho surgoon to tho cabin boy,
was eager to show her attention ; and
everybody was mot by tho samo gonial
smilo and lively retort.
Sho won hor way at onco into my
heart by tho kindly thought that led her
to bring iittlo rclishC3 from tho tablo to
tempt my sickly nppotltn, and tosootho
my forehead with bay-water, and gentlo
touches of her shapely brown hands,
where a great emerald glittered, encir
cled by diamonds, Very soon sho got
in tho habit of drawing her rug beside
my chair, nnd sitting on tho deck lean
ing ngainst mo, so that I might "pot
her," as sho said.
This was how it happened that my
quiet out-of-tlio-way corner camo lo bo
tho center of tho life and gaycty and
romauco of tho wholo shipboard.
It seemed that this young girl, Ko3n
Armour, was an only child, nud nn
orphan, going to nil ttitclo In Germany,
her nearest of kin.
"Dear heart 1 1 hopu her undo will bo
wiso as well as loving,"saitl I to myself
very often, for sho scorned too fragllo n
bubblo of humanity to drift on through
llfo alone.
Tho tips of tlio brown curls wero
lighter than Iho rc3t ; and hero and
thero wero llttlo bright touches nil over
her hair, ns though tho sun was shining
in spots on it. Ono morning I sat coll
Ing these gleams of stinshino around
my fingers, nnd watching n llock of
Mother Caroy's chickens skim restlossly
over tho restless water, thinking theso
thoughts nbout Rosa, and having her
soft presenco alono to myself for a few
moments. Not many, howover; soon
camo up n Now Zenlander; of courso
thero wn3 a Now Zealander or an Aus
tralian on our boat
You aro very lowly, Miss Armour,'
said lie. "Let mo bring you a chair."
'Thank you; I prefer to sit hero on
my rug and havo Mi33 Wells pot mo,
replied Rosa, turning up her eyes lan
giihlly. "Tho deck Is my favorito scut
if I can only havo an excuso to sit on
It."
"But you need something over you,'
persisted tho Now Zcalaniler, going
away, nnd coming back directly with
his own heavy gray wrap. Then ho
scaled himself on u low enmp stool
besldo her, folding tho wrnp over tho
two. "I never eaw to rough u sea ns
this till tho way from Honolulu to San
Francisco," snid ho, looking out upon
tlio gentlo swell of tho lazily-mounting
waves.
"Rough 1" crlul Miss Armour. "I
am stiro tho ocean is ns smooth nsn mill'

"Oh I but not ns compnred to tho Pn

Wo linvo nover such gnles on Hint us

nnilcr shivered na lio Bpoko, niul drow

Zealand," lio went ouj "wo nro nover

think of tho weather. And tho
novor
Eoll is tho most fortllo in Iho world."
"Pity it is In such tin out of tho way
part of tho earth that nobody can llvo
there," snld Miss Armour.
c
"Beg your pardon, juis ; inoro nro
sovcral English lown3 of 30,000 inhabit
ants each ; aud wo nover think of our
selves ns being out of tho way,bul rath
er feel sorry forthoso who livoso.'far
off," returned tho othor,bondlng his lull
ilguro earnestly forward.
Roso leaned iter pretty head toward
him in a confiding attltudo of interest,
and laughed: "Oh, so you aro tho peo
ple, nnd wisdom Is going to dlo with
ou," said sho. "But what do you do
out thero In tho heart of tho univorso ?"
"Wo dig gold for ono thing, nnd rnlso
shocp for another millions of llicmj
from thirty lo forty vessels aro constant
ly plying to England with tho tallow
nnd pressed wool."
"What do you do with nil that mut
ton?" asked Rosa, looking Idly nt tlio
light In her ring, nnd then as idly nt
tho light in tho speaker's eyes.
Wo uso what wo can," was tho re
ply ;"nnd somctlmcs,I nm sorry to say,
wo bury tho flesh not usually; but
sometimes an order will como lo ono
farmer for a thousand sheep, If you
ploaso, and all ho can do is to clip off
tho wool, got out tho fat, and bury tho
carcasses."
"What nplty tho meat can't bo sent
to tho hungry poor at homo 1 Why don't
somebody condenso It as they do tho
beef in Texas ?" I said in my practical
way.
"In good timo, I daro say, somebody
ill; but wo can't do ovcrythlngat
once," replied tho Now Zealander,look-
ing with sudden interest at tho gamo of
shufiloboard being played beside us.
Just then along camo tho ship's sur
geon, a blondo youth In uniform, with
his hair parted in tho middle.
'Mis3 Armour," said ho, "tho gun is
lo bo fired at tho bow ; will you como
and sco it done'.'"
Miss Armour started up at onco,turn-
Ing tho samo half confiding glanco and
ready smilo upon him sho had boon giv
ing us.
"I am going to lcavo my rug with
ou ; I shall como bacK," said sho,
beaming over her shoulder upon mo as
sho took tho surgeon's arm aud went
nway.
Tho Now Zealander looking after her,
tried to consolo himsolf by drawing his
wrap in another fold across his knees,
did not succeed, and finally got up and
cut away. Of courso it was not worth
his whilo to makolilinself agreeablo to
middlo nged womanlu hood and wnter
proof. So I sat, and looked ut tho llko
rtcs3 of a lako among thosunsot clouds,
nnd tried to decido whether I had better
tako oatmeal gruel or biscuit tea for my
supper; wondering tho while, half un
consciously, about tho old chord in my
memory that was always boing struck
by a certain musical ring in tho Now
JSealander's voice.
After an hour or so tho gun was fir
ed, and presently Miss Armour camo
back, and with tho disorder of tho
strong sea wind in her hnir, nnd its
freshness in her protty pink checks.
"I'vo como ns I said," sho murmur
ed, dropping at my feet again, and
railing up, as though sho bad got
whero sho best loved to bo just such a
smilo ns sho would havo given to tho
stokers down in tho cngino room,or tho
ship's cat. But it was lovely lo look
upon whilo It lasted ; and wo mlddlo
aged pcoplo havo learned to warm our
solves lu nny chanco ray of sunlight,
without stopping to consider whether It
Is likely to bo perpetual.
This timo tho bit of sunsliino did not
stay long; for thero camo up an nrtist
with his sketch book ; nnd when Miss
Armour had sufficiently admired his
graphic pencilings of tho captain nnd
tlio quartermaster, and tlio sea sick oc
cupants of an upper berth, it was time
to throw tho log ; and so ho boro hor
off, to find out by her own eyes wheth
er wo wero actually going at tho rate
of thirteen knots, or only twelvo nnd n
half.
That was how tho dayj wont. Tho
passongors read aud paced tho deck,
playod 'games aud guessed riddles, and
wero always hungry ; Iho pilot stood
steady and firm at the wheel ; tho sail
ora ran up and down about tho rigging
llko overgrown spiders, and wero for
over scouring nnd scrubbing, tying and
untying, drawing up aud lotting down
Thus, at last, wo had como safely al
most to our desired haven. With fair
sailing, wo wero only ono day out from
port : fond ns wo had grown to bo
of each other, wo woro getting impa
ticnt to part.
Miss Armour, during all tho voyngo,
had kept on as sho begun, beguiling
overy ono with her trick of lip and
eye. They ran niter nor hko ooys nt
tho string of a klto. Well, they nnd
nothliirr better to do just then ; nnd
when sho had fadod out as n rainbow
fades, I mado no doubt sho would bo ns
easily forgotten, or only remembered
as a midsummer's day dream, by all,
unless It might bo a solitary, warm
hearted man llko tho Now Zealander,
To toll tho truth, I was n llttlo sorry
forhlm. Evidently.lllohad not brought
lilm nil it might ; nnd ho was hungry
for the lovo nnd confidence that hnd
nover been his. So I was afraid ho
would miss this llttlo sparklo of girl-
hood and wnrra youth, nnu una tiio
void deeper when It had gono out.
To tho very last dny, Rosa kept her
place by my chair , nnd to the very last
tho Now .elander kept his placo by her,
when no ono younger stopped in lo ear-
ry her off, which wna pretty often, to
bo sure. Then, ho nlwnys quietly went
nwny himself, with n kind of grnvq ro

Mlt-s Armour had Just left us, along

tho f&co of Duncan Ashley. Wo pnrted
ono day expecting to meet on tho noxt,
but that ovonlug ho was called away,
and wrote Instead of coming. Iu that

"You did I Youwrolor' ho cried,
sinking back to his chair again, nnd
looking at mo eagerly. "What did

"inero was oniy one tning i couiu

blushing as though I had Just written

A raiddlo ugL'd woman in hood nnd

my faco that was mlddlo aged, after
all; my heart was as young nnd silly
as over. And ns far as Duncan's faco,
tho marks of care, and thought, and
timo, fell off, leaving In it only tho
eternal youth of love.
It was tho only story of n lost letter,
and tho older story of a proud man be
lieving himsolf rejected and humiliat
ed, and fleeing to tho ends of tho earth
with his pain.
"Twenty precious years wero wast

There was a flurry of good-byes, a hoist

Tho following passago in tho llfo of
Oustavus Vasa, whon that distinguish
ed monarch took rcfugo from tho Dan
ish usurper in Dclccarlln, to maturo his
noblo plan for tho dellvcranco of his
country, lb' truly dramatic.'

In tlmca of old hnd boon tho nbodo of
nobility.
It consisted of n long farm-llko struc
ture, formed of flr, covered In n strango
fashion with scales and odd ornamented
twlstlngs In carved wood.
But tho spot was hallowed by tho vir
tues of Us heroic mistress, who saved,
by her presenco of mind, tho llfo of tho
ftituro deliverer of her country.
Guslavus, having, by an ovil accident
boon discovered iu tho mines, bent his
courso towards this bouso, then inhab
ited by a gentleman by tho namo of
Pearson, whom ho Iliad known In tho
armies of tho lato administrator.
Hero, he hoped, from the obligation
ho had formerly laid on tho officer, thnt
ho should, nt least, find a safo rotreat.
Pearson, recelvod him with every
mark of friendship; nay, treated him
with respect and submission which no
blo minds nro proud to pay to tho truly
great, when robbed of their external
honors.
Ho exclaimed with such vchomenco
against tho Danes, thnt Instead of await
ing a proposal to tako up nrms, offered,
unasked, to try tho spirit of tho moun-
talnoors, and dcclnrod that himself and
his vassals would bo tho first to sot an
oxamplo, and turn out under tho com
mand of his beloved General.
Gustavus rolled on his word, nnd
promising not to namo himself to nny
whilo ho was absent, somo days after
wards saw, .Pearson leavo tho bouso to
put his design into execution.
It was indeed a design, and a black
one.
Under tho specious cloak of a zealous
affection -for Gustavus, tho traitor was
contriving his ruin.
Tho hopo of making his court to tho
Danish tyrant,- and tho expectation of a
largo toward, induced him to sacrifice
his honor to his ambition, and for tho
sake of a few ducats, violate tho most
sacred laws of hospitality, by tho be
trayal of his guest
In pursuance of that base resolution,
ho proceeded to ono of Christiern'a offi
cers commanding in tho province, and
informed him that Gustavus was his
prisoner.
Havine committed this treachery, ho
had not tho courago to faco his victim, I
but telling tho Dano how to surprise 1
tho prince, who, ho said, believed him-
solf under tho protection of a friend, ho
proposed taking a wider circuit homo,
whilo they, apparently unknown to
him, rifled it of its treasure.
"It will be an easy matter," said ho,
'for not oven my wlfo knows that it is
Gustavus.''
Tho officer, at tho head of a party of
well-armed soldiers, marched directly
to tho lake, the men Invested the houso,
whilo tho leader, abruptly entering,
found Pearson's wife, according to the
fashion of th030 days, employed in cul
inary preparations.
And somo distance from her, sat a
young man In a rustic garb, lopping off
the knots from tho broken branch of a
tree
Tho officer told her ho camo in King
Chribllcrn's namo to demand tho rebel
Gustavus, who ho know was concealed
under her roof.
Tho dauntless woman nover changed
color; sho immediately guessed tho
man whom her husband had introduc
ed as a miner's son to bo tho Swedish
hero.
Tho door was blocked up by soldlors
In nn instant sho replied, without
onco glancing at Gustavus, who sat mo
tlonless with surpriso
If you mean tho melancholy gontlo-
man my husband lias hnd hero theso
two days, ho has just walked out Into
tho wood, on tho other side of tho hill.
Somo of these soldiors mny readily seleo
him, as ho has no arms with him."
Thoofllcor, not suspecting tho oasy
simplicity of her manner, orderod part
of his men to go in quest of him,
At that moment, suddenly turning
her oyes on Gustavus, sho flow up to
him, and catching tho stick out of his
hand exclaimed in an angry volco
"Unraanuerly wretch I What, sit bo -
foro your betters ? Don't you seo tho
king's officers In tho room ? Get out of
my sight, or somo of them shall give
you n drubbing I"
As she spoko, sho struck him a blow
on tho back, with all her strength; and,
opening a sido door, "There, get into
tho scullery," cried she, "it Is tho flttost attracted Mr. E's atlontion and inuuc u
placo for such company I" and giving I him to exnmlno the foot held lnvltlmr
him nnother knock, sho flung tho stick I Iy ur for Inspection. Tho result of Ihut
after him, and shut tho door.
"Sure," added sho, In a groat heat,
"nover woman was plagued with such
a lout of a slnvo t"
Tho officer begged bIio would not dis
turb horsclf on his account, but she, af
fecting great roverenco for tho king,
and respect for his representative,
prayed him to enter her parlor, whllo
sho brought him somo refreshments
Tho Dane civilly compiled ; perhaps
glad enough to got from tho side of a
slirow, and sho immediately flew to
Gustavus, whom sho had bolted ln,and
by means of a back passage, conducted
him in a moment to tho banlc of tho
lako, whero tho fishers' boats lay, and,
giving hi in a direction to an honest
cunt to across tho lake, committed him
to Providence,

In his adversities. Thoy nro fools. They
belong to tho long-enrcd fraternity.
Anybody, with loss wit, might como
out bluntly nnd call them nsscs. But Job
puts It moro dcflly (xxx. 7): "Among
tho bushes thoy brayed ; undor tho net
ties they woro gnlhorcd together." If
thnt is not wit, thero Is no such thing
as wit. And yot tho commentators don't
sco it, or won't sco It. Thoy aro perfect
ly wooden when thoy como to any such
gleam of humor.
Tako another lnstanco Elijah's rldl
culo of tho prophets of Baal. Thoy aro
clamoring to their God, to help thorn
ont of a very awkward predicament.
And, whilo thoy aro at It, tho prophet
Bhows thom up in a way that must havo
mado tho tho poopleroar with laughter.
Tho stiff, antiquatod stylo of our Eng
lish Blblo tames down his sallios. Tako
thom in modorn phrase. Theso quack
prophets havo worked thomsolvos Into
a perfect desperation, and are capering
about on the altar as if thoy had tho St.
Vitus' dance. Tho sccno (I Klngs.xvlll.
2G, 27) wakes upall Elijah'ssonsoof tho
ridiculous. "Shout louder I Ho is a
god, you know. Mnko him hear I Per
haps ho is chatting with somobody, or
ho Is off on a hunt, or gono travelling.
Or maybo ho Is taking a nap. Shout
away t Wake him up 1" Imagino tho
priests going through their antics on
tho altar, whilo Elijah bombards them
In this stylo, at his leisure. If Mr.
Beochor over said anything that con
vulsed his audlenco moro thoroughly
than the prophet must havo dono the
Jews around him, I should llko to hoar
it.
Paul shows n dry humor moro than
onco, 03 In II. Cor. xli. 13: "Why
haven't you fared as well as tlio other
churches? Ah I there la ouo grievance
that you haven't had tnetotupport
Pray do not lay it up against mo 1"
Those instances might bo multiplied
from tho Old and New Testament both.
What do thoy show ? That tho Blblo Is,
on tho wholo, a humorous book? Far
from it. That religion is a humorous
subject that wo aro to throw all tho
wit wo can Into tho treatment of it?
No. But thoy show that the senso of
tho ludicrous is put into a man by his
Maker ; that it has its uses ; and that
wo aro not to bo ashamed of it, or to roll
up our eyos in a holy horror of It.
Sarcastic People
Whon tho sarcastic man uses his gift

who aro weak and blundering, who aro

sarcasm is an inestimable ble3sing,a shel
ter to the weak, and a certain destruc
tion to the oppressor. But theso kindly
disposed individuals aro rarely mot
with. Genorally speaking, tho sarcastic
man or woman thinks it tuo most uo
lightful thing In tho world to hurt other
people with tho poisoned arrows of 111
naturod speech, What such people call
conversation is death to their vlotlms.
Indeed, their pleasures aro Identical
with thoreflned Joys of a party of urchins
pelting a pond of frogs to death. Tho
frogs cannot help themselves, and it is
such fun to kill them I Thero aro occa
sions when sarcasm is an excellent wea
pon ; but it should never bo used except
In Belf defence. Advancing civilization,
which has abolished tho thumb screw
and rack, which has put away tho pis
tol and bowie-knife, will somo day
abolish tho, finer savagery of sarcasm.
And let us hopo that in tho good-breeding
of tho latter-day, wit will bo no
cover for mcaunoss,sraartncss no excuso
for malignity ; that tho man who airs
his smartness by saylngan unkind thing
will bo socially abolished, unless ho can
show that ho spoko in self-defence or
to uso tho cant of tho day In amoment
of "temporary insanity."
House Sense. Thomas Drummond,
a teamster lu our city, owns a norse,
which has been afflicted with lameness
for two or threo weeks past. One morn
ing Mr. Drummond turned hlin
lout upon tho common.hoplng that fresh
j air and exorcise, would benefit tho ui i-
1 mal. Upon gaining his liberty thocrip-
pled horso hobbled alone on threo legs
direct to tho blacksmith bhop of Win.
Eager, entered the shoeing department
and stood there holding up the injured
foot, with his head turned and ins oyes
intelligently fixed upon Mr. Eager.
This peculiar net on tho part of a unite
examination was tho discovery of a long
nail driven into tho frog, which was tho
causo of tho lameness. Of course Mr.
JZacor removed tho nail. Thero was
something moro than instinct In thN
I act. It was good horso Benso. Mr.
Drummond gonorally has his horsiu
shod at Eager's shop, and tho suffering
l bruto undoubtedly reasoned that this
was tho placo for him to go for relief.
