A pilgrim onco (so runs an ancient tale),
Old, worn, and spent, cropt down a shadowed vale:
on either hand ro3o mountains bloak nnd high;
Chtll was tho gusty air, and dark tho sky;
The path was rugged, and hU feet were bare;
Ills faded cheek was seamed by pain and care;
HU heavy oyes upon tho ground wero oast,
And every step seemed feebler than tho last.
Tho valley ended hero a naked rock
Hoso sheer from earth to heaven, as it to mock
The pilgrim who had crept that toilsome way;
But while his dim and weary eyes essay
To find an outlet, In the mountain sldo
A ponderous sculptured brazen door ho spied,
And tottering toward It with fast-falling breaUi,
Above the portal read, "The (Utk of Burnt."
lie could not stay his feet, that led thereto:
It yielded to his toich, nnd passing thiough,
He came Into a world all bright and fa'r;
Blue were tho heavens, nnd balmy wns the air;
And, lo ! tho bloodjof youth was In his veins,
And ho was clad In robes that held no stains
Of his long pilgrimage. Amazed, bo turned:
Behold 1 a golden door bjhlnd him burned
In that fair sunlight, nnd his wondering ej es,
Now lustrcful aud clear as thoso now skies,
Free from the mists of age, of care, and strife,
Above tin-portal read, "Tug (Ura or Lira."

For ho would not disguise it now. not
even from tho true-eyed who gave him

nil tli.it. nlin lmrl di-nmned siime be bado
her good-bye,fivo months before ; so that
without a word, two Hearts were nappy
in tho mountain ranch that night.
Two hearts, aud perhaps three; for old
Tom had somo fresh tobacco, and, more-
over, ho admired the "citv chap" as ono
among a thousand, being capable and
willing to enduro n frontiersman's life
without a murmur but not tlio lourtli.
For there was a fourth.
Carl Desmond, old Tom's assistant, was
not happy.
Carl was a newcomer, a man some for-
ty vears of age, whoso past was utterly
unknown to the ranchers about tho park,
but who had proven himself a good
huntsman and herdsman, and who had
found u home m tho cabin of loin
Larkin three months before.
Since his advent littlo had been learn
ed of him exeeot that ho had come from
"the river," nnd whether an out-law or u
murderer no one knew. It was enouch
to these roimh hewed diamonds that tho
man was a goon snot, nrave nun civu ;
i , i i ?
they careil for littlo else, and so.iilthough
a comparative stranger, ho had already
made himself a place m tho park.
And he had done more. Ho had lad
en deeply in lovo with Bessio Larkin.
The girl knew it, hut even uoioro
Bresford's second advent the thought of
any lover but one was distasteful to her,
and little wonder is it that she had looked
with moro and moro coldness upon tho
gathering passion of this half German,
halt-ripauish suitor, until ho had grown
almost desperate at tho girl's resistance.
And now that isrestord had appeared
-now that tho lovo light which ho had
striven in vain to awaken burned in
Bessio s eyes now that tho lovers
T t
other's affection Carl Desmond saw that
his suit was doomed to certain failure,
And as tho night grew over old Tom's
noli this man's heart was far from hap.

Hut even as this took lorm tho native

came, liresiord louud JJesmond an a

yet ever at his side, with suggestion or

From the first the newcomer was
leased, but Bessie, knowing moro than

of Desmond's acts and so it happened,

The days passed, and autumn looked
toward winter. The pines upon the
mountain side grew more nnd more som
bre, and seemed daily to wrap their
mantles of feathered branches more close
ly about them, ns if preparing for the
coming ot the
snow.
The mountains themselves wero tipped
with white, nnd the park grew dun-col-
ored and brown. Night becamo chill,
and tho open lire in the yawning ciiitn-
ney a necessity ; tlio sun looked lar
away, and a thin sheet of ice often
covered the shallows in tho river nt the
break of dav. All nature was at rest,
her vcars worn done, waiting hour by
hour the coming ot winter.
Bresford hunted, fished and rode, and
with him almost constantly was his prom
ised wife. 1' or old Tom had been in
terviewed, and his consent to the union
gained.
At tJhiistmas tune a wedding was to
take place nt the mountain ranch, and
then tho young people wero to depart
for Denver, whither the old man was to
follow them in tho spring.
The neighbors knew about the en-
gagement, and it pleased them ; for Bros-
ford's friendly, unassuming ways had
won him a place in the rough lieaits ot
the ranchers, and tho coming wedding
was looked forward to with anticipations
of pleasure by all tho inhabitants of that
portion ot the park.
Tho first snow had come, when one

If you will kick or pound on a telegraph
pole or place your ear against ono on a
windy day, what will the noiso remind
you off A hive of becsT Precisely. So
it does tho bears in Norwny. Hears nro
passionately fond of honey, and when
in ono of tho wild districts Bruin hears
tho humming of tho wires he folio ws
tho sound to the post where it is loudest
nud begins to tear away the Rtones
heaped round tho poles in rocky soil to
steady llieni, in order to get nt tho hive
which ho imagines to be there. Iu his
disappointment and disgust lie usually
leaves savage marks of his claws in the
wood. Nor is ho tho only victim of the
wires. In tho Kleotrie" Exhibition nt
ParU they show tlio top of a thick pine
telegraph pole through which a wood
pecker has drilled a hole several inches
in diameter. The bird had apparently
pciehed on the pole and taken the hum
ming of tho wires for the buzzing of a
nest of insects in the wood, and had set
himself manfully or birdfitlly to dig
them out. Wolves will not stay in Nor
way where telegraph lines nro built.
It was formerly the custom to protect
farms by pla'nting poles round them
strung with cards, something like rabbit
snares, and gradually the wolves came
to respect tlieso precautions, so that a
lino stretched across the neck of a penin
sula would protect the whole district.
The wolves lake the telegraph for anew
and improved snare, and promptly leave
the country when a lino is built. On our
own treeless plains the buffalo hails the
telegraph pole us an ingenious contri
vance forliHovvnbonolit.JLikc all cattle,
ho delights in scratchiiighimself, anil,
he goes through the performance so en
ergetically that he knocks doivn tho
post. An early builder of telegraph
lines undertook to protect the posts
by inserting brad-awls into the wood,
but the thick-skinned buffalo found the
brad-awl an improvement, as affording
him a iiewsensation, and scratched down
moro poles than ever. In Sumatra the
elephants are systematically opposed to
telegraph linen, and at least twenty times
a year make raids on them. In May,
1870, the elephants tore down the poles
for a distance of several furlongs and hid
the wires and insulators in the cane j'un
gle, and for three nights in succession
they lepeated tho performance as regu
larly as the repairers rebuilt the lino du
ring tho day. The monkeys and apes
are about as formidable enemies, as they
use the wires for swings and trapezes
and carry off the glas insulators as val
uable prizes; then, when the repairer
goes to correct the mischief, he may be
pounced upon by a tiger or driven up
the post by a mad buffalo. In .Tapau
the special enemies of the telegraph are
the spiders, which grow to an immense
size and avail themselves of the wires as
an excellent framework for their webs.
So thick are the cords the Japanese spi
deis spin that often, especially when
they arc covered with dew, they serve to
connect tho wires with each other or the
ground, and so stop them from work
ing. In the sea the wires arc not any
safer, as a small worm has developed it
self since cables came into fashion which
bores through iron and gutta-percha,
and so destroys a wire worth millions of
dollars. When a great storm comes on
in the centre of the ocean and the cable
breaks while it is being laid or threatens
to break, no one is alarmed. They fast
en the cable to a buoy and come back
afterwards and pick it up, or if it is at
the bottom of the sea they drop a dredge
with a liiilc or so of rope, and fish out
the precious thread, as large as one of
your lingers, almost as easily as you
would fish iii a penny from the bottom
of a tub of water with the tongs. But
the little worm no bigger than a needle
is more foiniidablo than the elephant on
snore or the hurricane at sea.
the Migration of lllnls.
It is a popular belief that birds, espec
ially certain northern species, which in
winter suddenly appear in temperate lat
itudes with or just before heavy storms,
as well as various kinds of wild fowl,
have the ability to discern approaching
changes of the .veather. While this idea
lias often been treated by scientific writers
as faiu'ifiil,accuiiiulativo evidence shows
that it has a basis in fact. Among such
evidence may be mentioned the monthly
weatherreports ot tho I nited Mates sig
nal service bureau, in which, under the
head of miscellaneous phenomena, refer
ence is often made lo tho movements of
birds. From these reports it appears
that the southward migration of geese
and other water fowl usually pieeedes,
often only a few hours, the approach of
heavy stouns and a sudden and very
great reduction of temperature, which
tliev often wholly avoid by keeping in
ulvaiiec of tho change. Instances oi this
aro too frequent to lead to any other
conclusion than that birds have the pow
er ot recognizing approaching changes
of weather. It is also well known that
many birdslisplay great restlessness just
before the occurrence of severe storms,
and that some species move southward
in large nights to regions of less severity.
The general laets and conclusions pre
sented in the foregoing remarks nay be
thus bricllv summarized: First, That the
habit of migration resulted from changes
of climato occurring at a not very remote
geological period. Second, That every
gradation exists between species the
most widely roving and thoc which aro
strictly sedentary; and that even repre-
sentatives of the sanio species may In
either migratory or sedentary, according
io wneiner inoy occupy as breeding sta
tions tho northern or southern portions
of the common habitat. Third, That
failure of food induces a movement to
which arc their only true homes,

The Art of Dressing.
So important did tho Sybarites con
sider tho dress of women, th.it when they
invited them to a banquet they did fo
a year ahead, that they might have am
ple time to preparo their toilet. lTnliko
tho Sybarites wo are apt to regard
woman's dress ns among tho minor con
siderations of life, and think thnt
all timo given to its study is wasted
time. Dress, which may bo regarded as
an element of nit, is worthy of respect
and attention. It is a study worth pur
suing, for the mind that regards dress
from an artistic point of view is natu
rally led to the contemplation of nrt in
its more extended teachings. ( When
dress becomes nn art study, it is no
longer viewed ns the means of ostenta
tious display, or of shallow vanity, but
is a teacher who loads tho pupil into the
domains of the graceful, tho attractive
and the beautiful. Dress being a legit
imato source of charming, it should not
bo regarded as of less importance than
beauty of faco or figure. It is one of
the chief elements of pleasing a very
important element ns all realize when
contemplating a well dressed woman, or
one otherwise. To dress well is not, nee
essarily, to dress showily or expensively.
