A LEGEND FROM THE TAL
MUD. nv uiiAnLorru m, rACKAnu.
Tho patriarch Ahrnm sat in his lent door
Waiting tho guest whom God perclinnco
would send
To ask nn nlms from his abundant store,
Or timely shelter, given m to n friend,
Tho cool wind lifting carclonly his hair,
Stirred to new thanlifulnei's his soul serene,
When looking up, ouo waiting halted there.
Whoso shadow trembled on tho earth, I
ween.
An old, old pilgrim, leaning on his statT,
With viion dim returned his asking gaze,
His story in his aspect written half,
And half rehearsed in slow,uncertnin ihrao.
Tho Father of the Faithful welcomed him.
Rallied the tired feet nnd proffered wine nnd
bread,
Looking to trace, e'en in that visogo grim,
A grateful soul bent to tho Hand thnt fed.
Yet blessing nono escaped tho famished lips j
This heathen beggar hncw no God but
Firo j
Bo Charity was lost in swift eclipso,
And Abram cried in his exceeding ire !
"I cast thee out, ungrateful, to partnko
Of tho grent ilcctt's shelter, that the night
Darkening around, thy graceless soul may
."hike ;
Since Ho is in tho dusk as in the light 1"
Hut tho Lord called to Abrnm in his sleep ;
"How petty thy impatient soul appears,
Unwilling for a single night to keep
Whom God hath suffered, lo I theso hundred
years I"
BABY HAS GONE TO SCHOOL.
The baby has gono to school ; nh me I
What will the mother do,
With never n call to button or pin,
Or tio a little shoe ?
How can she keep herself busy all day,
With the little "hindering thing" away?
Another basket to fill with lunch,
Another "good-hy" to sny,
And the mother stands at the door to see
Her baby inarch awny ;
And turns with a sigh that is half relief,
And half a something nkin to grief.
She thinks of a possiblo future mom,
When the children, one by one,
Will go from their homo out into the world,
To battle with life alone,
And noteven tho baby bo left to cheer
The desolate homo of that future year.
Sho picks up garmcnta here nnd there,
Thrown down in careless haste,
And tries to think how it would seem
It nothing were displaced ;
If tho hou.-e were alwnys as still as this.
How could she bear the loneliness ?
Select Story.
LULU.
I hale her! The tattling little upstart,
tho beggar's brat (' exclaimed Hortense Lee,
as nho stood in the miiUt of her schoolmates.
'It is had enough to havo a washerwoman's
daughter, who has to do chores fur her tu
ition, in tchnol, at any rate, but when she
begins to tattle about n, it is time to teach
her r, lesson. Jliss Ojnlen has matlo too
nuicli of tier. Sho forgels her-el fund ia really
beginning to feel on an equality with us. I,
for one, will show 3INs Rag Rag her place.'
Just then the door opened and a fragile.
lelic.ito girl of Homo 11 summers stepped
ID,
'Good-morning,' said the, plcnsautly, to
the group of girls.
There was no reply. All loukod timidly
at Hortcnso, for she was all-powerful there,
:uiil her flashing eye deterred any of tho
more venturesome who would have addres'ied
Lulu Allen.
'tiood morning, girls,' repeated Lulu.
Hortense drew herself up haughtily. 'At
tend to your dusting,' said bhe. 'You do
not pay your tuition by entertaining us, nt.J
no do not caro to hear any of your hypocri
tical remarks. The society of a tattler is
any tulip but agreeable.'
'Oh 1 Hortense, I did not tattle,' exclaim
ed poor Lulu, while tears rushed to her
eye".
'Tattlers are always liars,' scornfully re
plied Hortense, as sho turned away, while
I.ulu sank sobbing into her seat. A few of
the girls looked pityingly upon her, but no
one ventured to approach her.
'I don't believe sho did tell, Tensia ,'
whispered 3Iartha 3Iajer.
'1 oil are at perfect liberty to think what
you plea'e,' replied Horteuse. 'Go if you
cboni-e, take the tho part of a mean inlor-
mtr nnd spy, Hut I thought you had more
spirit than to be turned roued by a few
crocodile tears.'
JIartha shrank back abashed, and the rest
of the girls were eaiily persuaded that
Uortene was right. The bell soon rang,
and all entered upon theirschool duties.
Hortense Lee was at this time about 15
years of age, and certainly very handsomo
She was at once the idol and terror of tho
whole school. No one could be more agree
able thau ebo .when her will was obeyed j
no one understood better thau sho how to
visit any opposition to Ron the heads of thu
offenders. Sho was a fljo scholar and had
always been treated by her teachers with
marked distinction. Her father was wealthy
and delighted to deck iu rich attire his child
tho pride of his heart. Ho either did not
see her aristocratic and haughty notions or
found au echo to Ihem in his heart for his
child resembled him much iu character j
at any rate he uever checked them. Her
mother, ono of tho mo6t gentle and humble
of women, indeed often reasoned with her
on the folly and wickedness of her pride,
and imagined that the respectful attentions
which her daughter paid her betokened a
disposition to correct her faults. Could sho
have glanced into her child's mind, she
would havo been astonished to fee what
thoughts were passing there. Hortense loved
her mother, but sho nns well aware that In
intellect she herself was far her superior,
and It was with u kind of pitying atl'ectioa
that Bhe llsteued to her parent's admonitions.
Her father she reverenced. Sho acknowl-

of sarcastic rcproyal, for that wn, his usual
way of expressing his disapprobation of her
conduct, were all powerful with lien hut he
never reiterated what her mother said to her
on this subjact, anil sho pursued her own
course, becoming a leader in school, as ho
was in society. I hits it happened that when
Lulu Allen first entered tho school sho had
Incurred her dlspleasnro f first, because she
was poor an ofien.o which might possibly
havo been ovetlooked had she not proved
ncrelt to be n fine scholar, nnd by her gen
tlcnoo bid fair to become a formidable rival
i.'so In tho affections of both teacher and
scholars. For all of theso reasons Hortense
hated her, and now.when 11 school freak had
been dicovertd by their teacher, as Lulu
had been tho only one not engaged In it,
suspicion naturally rested upon her as hav
ing been the informer, and Hortense cludlv
availed herself of this to thrust down the
usurper into what she considered her prop
er place. And from this time poor Lulu
was subjected to all the petty annoyances
which a haughty girl could devlso nnd n
sensitive mind could feel.
The girl grew thinner and paler than ever
fbrsho was aloving child, and to feel her
self looked upon with suspicion and hatred
whero sho had before experienced only kind
ness, was indeed a sad blow to her. At home
sho had never met with anything but indif-
lerence, for her mother was dead, her fath
er, a poor, spiritless drone, and her step
mother, a coarso woman, who meant well,
but understood nothing of tho sensitive
child's nature, had mado no secret of Jtlie
fact that sho considered Lulu a dead weight
on her hands.
When 3Iiss Chandler had offered to take
her into school and leach her for somo slight
services, Lulu's heart leaped for joy. Hor
teacher told her that in time she, too, might
obtain her livelihood by teaching, and this
had stimulated tho child to almost superhu
man exertions, which had soon, by making
her a rival, gained her an enemy in Hortense.
The kindness and affection of her school
mates had made her young life full of sun
shine, and now the sudden change plunged
her into tenfold deeper gloom than before.
The light of happiness faded from her blue
eyes; sho drooped visibly, and ono could
hardly havo recognized tho gentle, smiling
Lulu Allen in the now pale and thoughtful
child.
She brooded over her troubles in secret,
but her teacher noted nothing of the change.
It is needless to say that sho was guiltless of
tho charge, and had 3Iiss Chandlor been
nwaro of it sho would have cleared her at
once. Hut she was not an observant woman
and saw none of the mental troubles of her
pupil ; nnd Lulu, who longed sometimes to
speak to her teacher on the subject, shrank
nervously from doing so, from n dread of de
serving in reality that dreadful appellation,
tattler," that seemed ever sounding in her
ears, a character so abhorred by school chil
dren. She would have been utterly wretch
ed had it not been for the little 3IauJ. a
fairy-like child, and sister of Hortense, who
now came to school, and who had at once
taken a great fancy to Lulu, and on whom,
In return, Lulu lavished all the repressed
atl'ection of her loving heart. Hortense
looked upon this with the deepest annoy
ance. JInud was her datlinir. and she could
not bear to have any rival iu tho child's
heart least of all was it to bo borue when
that rival was a washerwoman's daugh
ter. Hortenso had gained her point in making
I.ulu shunned by her schoolmates, but all
this was nothing so long as her darling sis
ter loved her, and too proud to appear to
notice that sho had a rival, sho could not
deprive Lulu of this. It was agony tn her
to havo tho child spring from her side as
-.ho did in tho morning, to meet Lulu, to
seo her white arms t vinod round tho girl's
neck nnd her sweet lips prcsiel to heis, hut
there wits no remedy for it
Thank God thcieareno aiistocrata among
children.
So time passed on, and finally Lulu was
missing from school. She had been absent
lor a day or two. When little .Maud, too,
stayed at home she begged her mother to
let her go to see her favorite, and 3Irs. Leo
consented. Tho servant took her to tho
washerwoman's house, whero Lulu lay sick.
Tho child clung to her, ami, alas, boro home
with her the s';ds of the contagious disease,
tho scarlet fever, which Lulu was herself un
conscious of having, for sho had not bjen
attended by any physician.
Poor 3Iaud was stricken down, and, after
a short and severe illness, died, while Lulu
recovered to mourn over tho sad loss of her
child friend, and to look hopelessly forward
to hor own future.
It was the morning after the funeral of
Maud that Lulu, a mere shadow, entered tho
school room. Hortense was there, pale and
haughty in her mourning drtss. None of
the girls dared address her, as she sat there
tearless aud still, though some whispered
that they "thought she showed very little
grief, since she seemed to love Maud so ;"
and me little girl said that "she never cried
u bit at the funeral, when her mother sobbed
as if her heart would break."
Lulu heard all these whispers, but she
knew better thau they what was tearless
agony. Her heart bled tor Hortense, and
she drew closer to her side ond passing her
arm around her waist, whispered, "I know
how to pity you, dear Hortense. She loved
me dearly, too."
Hortense started as If an adder had stung
her ; she flung off Lulu's encircling arm as
she exclaimed bitterly, "Sho did love you
and how did you repay lur ? You kissed
her with poison on your Hps you killed
her 1"
Poor Lulu was shocked. She tottered
fee'ily lo her seat, laid her head cn her desk
and wept silently. The next day she did
not come to echool. Sho was worse again,
the scholars said, She. had come out too
soon, tho doctor said, aud a relapse was the
consequence.
Hortense cared not. She felt iu her heart
that Lulu had murdered her sister, aud haled
her worsa than ever.
It was twilight, and Hortense had been
out gathering wild flowers, and digging up
up violets to plant on her sister's grave. It
was growing late, and the graveyard was n
dreary place ; but what cared she for that f
She was no coward, and she walked In among
tho white tombstones, gleaming In the
moonlight, without a shudder. Hut as sho
drew nearer to 3Iaud'a grave, sho Btarted.
Surely she saw something move. She hesi
taled, but she resolved to go forward, and
there, lying on tho ground waa Lulu Allen.

A DEAD IIEKOIXE.

the grent age of 94 years.
IIEtt lllSTOItY,
I The history of this woman is not nnlv
sad, but it uiso has a romantic aspect. In
1WM Jerome IJonaparte who was nineteen,
visited Haltlmore. He was tlm vmitiT,..t

perience in uaval matters, and had reached

, . o
lady of wealth and beauty, whom he mirriod

consul. The bride was a vear vounwr than
her husband, whom she accompanied to Eu
rope, but the imprudent couple found to
their surprise that they were not allowed to
enter France. Jerome left his wife at Lis

brother, tho Emperor. The latter not only
refused to recognize the marriage, but worse
than this, ho persuaded .Temmn tn nlimitnn

among tho sorrows of her latter days was
the death of her only son, which occurred

THE NEW FASHIONS IN CAIUIS.
Some days ago the adjournment of Con
gress, as the story goes, good-natured and
ponderous Senator 3IcCreery, of Kenluckey,
was waddling down Pennsylvania avenue,
when a dapper young gentleman, one of that
class which delights 'Society girls' by ex
claiming at intervals during n fashionable
reception: 'Have you becu very gay this
season ?' approached him with the ones-
tion : 'Ah, Senator, how de do ? I called
on you this morning. Did you get my
card ?'
'Yes,1 said the Senator dryly, 'I cot the
card ; hut what did you mean by writing
E. l in the corner of it ?
'Oh that,' said the young gentleman evi
dently delighted at being ablo to give infor
mation, 'that means 'en personue' in other
words, left in person.'
' ex, yes,' said the Senator meditatively,
I see.'
The next day Jfr. 3IcCreery again met
the young man, and this time going up to
him, said, 'Ah, by the way, I called on you
this morniug ; did you get my card?1
'ies Blr; yes, was the reply.I got it: but.
I say, Senator, what did you mean by writ
ing 'S. 11. A X.' In the corner of it ?'
'What,' cried tho old gentleman laughing
all over his big face, didu'tyou understand
that? I'm surprised. What should I
mean but 'sent by a uigger ?' iV. '. 7Vim.

A lad named Casablanca stood on the
burning deck of the Orient after everybody
had played the great act nnd deserted her,
while tho flames that lit the battle's wreck
shone round him o'er the dead. It was an
uncomfortable position for the young fellow
to be placed In, yet beautiful nnd bright ho
stood, as born to rule tho storm or burst a
fluo. You will doubtless bo surprised to
hear It, but tho flames rolled on, some of
them scooting up tho mainmast as a repair
er would scoot up a telegraph pole, somo
performing tnonkeyshincs on the yardarm,
others licking the name off tho sides of the
vessel, etc. Notwithstanding all this busi
ness, the boy would not go without his fa-
ther's word, for the very good reason that
his back was still ringed, streaked from the
last lambasting ho received for disobeying
the old man.
He called aloud : 'Say, father, say If yet
my task is done, for If I don't get out of
this pretty quick I'll be done myself, nnd
done brown, too ; and don't you forget It.'
lou see he was ignoraut of tho fact that
the chieftain lay unconscious of his son.
'apeak, father I' once again he yelled, 'if
I may yet be gone ?' and just theu tho ene
my's vessel sent a broadside into the burn
ing wreck, an 1 faft the flames rolled on. He
felt their breath on his brow.aud he thought
to hinself that it was getting almost ns hot
as a ward caucus. The boy continued to
look from that lone post of death, while he
rattled the marbles, spoils, top., brass but
tons, dog -rfnlves and a few other things in
his iMket, with more or less despair depict
ed on his countenance.
He shouted but once more aloud : 'Fa
ther, what's the use nf me standin' hero ?'
hile o'er him fast.throiigh sail and shroud.
tho wreathing flames made way, with not a
pump in working order, and nobody to
work it. In order to make this thing very
graphic, it is necessary to state that the
fire-fiend wrapped the ship in splendor wild,
painting it in grander colors than the baud
wagon of a circus ; he also caught the flic
on high, swallowed it and blew more rib
bons than a street peddler. After this he
stood on top of the jackstag nnd made an in
cendiary Fourth-of-July speech to the sea
gull. Hut In the midst of life we aro in
death. There camo a burst of thunder sound;
the boy, oh ? where
To tell the great American truth.there was
no boy in the case. Captain Casablanca
had no son, and, even if he had, it is not
likely ho would have taken him along when
ho was expecting this battle on the Nile, to
say nothing of the nbsurdity of supposing a
father would expose his little son on tho
deck of a vessel during an engagement.
MAKK TW A'.? AS A CANDIDATE.
I hav pretty much made my mind to
ti for President. What the people want
is a man who cannot be injured by investi
gation of his past history, so that enemies
of the party will not be able to rake up
against him things that nobody ever heard
of before. If you know the worst about a
candidate, to begin with, every attempt to
spring things on him will be checkmated.
Now I am going to enter upon the field
with an open record. I nm going to own
up in advance to all the wickedness I have
done, and if any Congressional committee is
disposed to prowl around my biography, in
the hope of finding any daring and deadly
deed which I have secreted, whv let it
prowl .
In the first place, I admit that I did
freeze a rheumatic grandfather of mine, iu
the winter of 1859. Ho was old and in
expert at climbing trees. But with a heart
less brutality that is characteristic of me, I
ran him out of the front door in his night
shirt, at the poiut of r shot-gun, and caused
him to bowl up a maple tree, where he re
mained all night, while I emptied shot iu
ids legs. I did this because he snored. I
will do it again if I havo another grandfa
ther. I am as inhuman now as I was in '59
No rheumatic perton shall snore in my
house.
I candidly acknowledge that I ran away
at tho battle of Gettysburg. 3Iy friends
havo tried to smooth this fact by the asser
tion that I merely got behind a tree, that I
did so for the purpose of imitating Wash
ington, who went into the woods at Vallev
Forge to say his prayers. It was a miser
able subterfuge. 1 btruck out iu a strait
lino for the Tropic of Cancer, simply be
cause I was scared. I wanted my country
saved, but I peiferred some oue elso'to save
her. I entertain that idea yet. If the
bubble of reputation can be obtained only
at the cannon's mouth, I am willing to go
there provided the cannon is empty. If it
is loaded, my immortal and inflexible pur
pose is to got over the fence and go home.
3Iy invariable purpose in tho war has been
to bring out two-thirds more men than I
took in, This seems to me to be Napoleo
nic In its grandeur.
3Iy financial views are of the most decid
ed character, but they are not likely, per
haps, to increase my popularity with the ad.
vocates of iuflation or contraction. I do not
insist upon special supremacy of rag-money
The great fundamental principle of my life
is to take any kind I can get.
The rumor that I buried a dead aunt undera
grape vino Is founded upon fact. The vine
needed fertilizing, my auut had to be bur-
led, and I dedicated her 10 that purpose,
Does that unfit me for tho Presidency ? The
constitution of our country does not say so.
No other citizen was considered unworthy
of oflice because he enriched his grape lae
with his relations, Why should I be c
lected as the first victim of an absurd pre
judicc?
I admit, also, that I am not a friend of
the poor man. I regard the poor
man in his present condition, as so
so much wasted raw material. Cut up and
properly canned, he might ;be mado useful
to fatten the natives of Canibal Islands, and
Improve our exports in that region. I shall
reccommend legislation upon the subject in
ray first message. 3Iy campaign cry w'll be
to deasicate the poor workiugman, Stuff
him into sausages 1
These are about the worst parts of my re
cord, On them I come before the country,
rr ..... 1 .1 t. . ...
11 iiij vuuiury uuesu i want me, 1 will go
back again. Hut I recommend myself as a
safe man a man who starts from the Imsis
o total depravity, and proposes to be fund-
ish to the last.

I'UNISIII.SG AN ELEPHANT.
Emperor Is the most vicious, as he is the
finest animal In the country. During the
wintor months ho nnd hin six companions
aro chained by their hind legs In nn out
building lu Ceutral Park N, Y. Boat
swain, uutll tho orrlval of Emperor, was the
pride of all female elephants, and Gypsy es
pecially loved to caress him with her gentle
trunk. But Boatswain once cried out under
punishment and from that hour he lost his
place In tho respect of his associates, and
Gypsy transferred her blandishments to the
last comer.
The device of circus men for punishing
nn elephant is cruel. To legs of the animal
are fastened strong pulleys, which are at
tached to levers. At a signal the legs are
drawn asunder, and tho animal sinks down
a mass of helpless, tortured flesh. Then
the keepers, nrmed with long clubs, ap
proach and beat him ou the legs and bot
toms of the feet, Tho elephant during nun-
Ishmcnt curls his trunk beneath him, and
closes his eyes. Hour after hour goes by
sometimes, but the keepers only relax when
the elephant either becomes insensible 'or
cries out, which latter is a token of submiss
ion nnd a conquered spirit. Boatswain
cried out, and was never ngaln guilty of of
fense. Emperor, however, has stood this
terrible punishment several times and with
such extraordinary nerve that his ker en
are afraid of him. He is vicious, and When
ever a missile comes within his reach hejdis
charges it nt the nearest keener straightway.
On .Monday uighUEmperor watched one
nf the attendants whom he particularly dis
likes. It was bedtime, and the man was
making everything snug when Emperor
turned upon him and kuocked him down
The keeper screamed, as Emperor, with a
shrill cry of rage, was on the poiut of drag
ging him beneath his feet and stamping him
to death. Help came, nnd tho keeper was
saved, and then it was determined that Em
peror should suffer for what he had done.
The attendants took the long iron poker
witli which tho fires are stirred, and this
hey heated red hot. Emperor was bound
in the fashion that has been described, and
while one of tho keepers held his trunk, the
other ran tho red hot poker up into it. The
savage puuishmeut nearly blinded Emperor,
but ho did not squeal. He looked sullenly
all the time at his keepers. Since then the
elephant has been uuable to cat, and Btands
alone and sullen, slapping his horribly mu
tilated trunk wherever there is a coot spot
in the shed. The mon call this extreme
punishment, and said that it has never been
applied before in this country. It was not
strong enough to subdue Emperor. iSiii,
HE HAD THE liOSS STOVE.
Coming down on tbo street car the other
morning they got to talking about their
tJ.il stoves, und one man said :
'Well, i d'vi't want to brag, but I think:
I've gut the boss stove. So far this winter
I havn't burued but three ton? of coal, and
the htove has kept three rooms warm,'
1 ou must have a poor stove remattjd
the second. I havn't burned but two ton
of coal yet, and my stovo heats parlor, dia
log' room, two bed-rooms and a hall.'
Well when you come to stoves,1 quietly
remarked tho third, 'I claim to have the
best coal stove in Detroit. I have burned
but a ton and a half of coal, so far, and we
havo to keep all the dampers shut, and a
back door open all the time.'
Some men looked out of the window and
some down at the straw, and no one seemed
to doubt any of the assertions. At length a
heavy sigh was heard frcm the rear end of
the car, and a clerical looking man arose
and said :
'Gentlemen, there goes a fire-alarm. It
strikes the box in front of my homo. I have
no doubt that my residence is at this hour
in flames and tho lives of my family are in
peril. It is all owing to my coal stove. I
set up the stove last November and put on
one peck of coal, livery room has been eo
hot ever since that tho base-boards have
warped off, and wo finally had to move
down into the baement. This morning the
water in all the pipes in the house was boil
ing, tho shingles on the roof red hot, and I
have just hired four men to form a snow
bank around the stove. Too late alas I
too late 1 That stove has accomplice its
fiendish purpose, nnd I no longer have n
home. It may not, however, bo too late to
save the baby. Good-by, gentlemen ?'
lie opeued the door and got off the car,
and not a pas.-enger spoke again for four
blocks. Detroit Free Press.
BEET SUGAR IN MAINE.
The 3Iaino Beet Sugar Co., located iu
Portland, has proved a grand success. The
Company are highly gratified with the re
sults of last year. It being their first lyear,
they paid but H per ton for beets. This
year they advertise to pay the farmers $5
per ton for beets landed at a depot on the
line of any railroad leading into Portland.
Last year our farmers raised from 18 to
42 tous per acre. The amount raised de
pended almost entirely on the richness of
the soil.
Where the crop is 20 tons, the farmer re
ceives $100 for every acre of beets raised.
Ono tou of beets will produce 400 pounds
of pressed pulp, which is sold to the farm
ers for $1 per ton ; and every 800 pound of
pressed pulp is worth 400 of bay for stock.
This year the Beet Sugar Co., have ad
ded $40,000 to their capital stock, and havo
asked tne farmers lo cultivate 1500 acres pf
b?ets, as it will require 30,000 tons of beets
to supply their demands the present year.
Many of our farmers will make the beet
raising a speciality, for the very reason that
it will pay.
It has been proved by actual experiment
that the farmers in Maine can raise as many
tons of hosts per acre as are being raised lu
Franco or Germany, where the sugar beet is
cultivated upon a large scale,
Ono acre of beets will produce about 300
pounds of sugar.
The sugar mads In Portland last year was
of a superior quality. iVorWrnre Journal,
