Ilehold how patiently tho year
Awaits tho coming ot tho spring I
Through frosty winter, chill and drear,
Wo feel tho days aro drawing near
To set tho trees a blossoming.
And In tho bitter pinch of cold,
Wo know that June, with rosy gleo,
And high carnival will hold,
And scatter wldo the green and gold
Of Nature's lavish charity.
Why should wo then at heart repine,
Though tempests overflow tho sky t
Slnco summer suns again will shlno
And bring tho scarlet columblno
The palace ot tho butterfly J
Life has Its winters, cold as thoso
That drop their mantles on tho plain,
llut through tho falling of tho snows
We live in memory ot tho roso
And trust that It will bloom again.
With time's long patlcnco let us bear
Tho chill ot grief, life's sore distress,
Blnco hopo outlives tho darkest care,
And In tho sprlngtldo wo shall hear
Again tho flower ot happiness.
SELECT STORY.
THE DAUQETEH-IH-LAW.
Are wo nlmost there, Chariest t'
'Do yon see that old moss-grown
roof, with Uio liuce brick chimney,
peeiritig lip among tho apple blossoms?
That in tho housi'.'
Laura's heart gave an involuntary
throb. Would thev welcome her as a
new (lauglitert Would they love herf
Clinrlfu l'age smiled as ho read tho
thought passing through her mind.
JJo not icar, jjttura ; I ao not Know
who could help loving youl'
Laura smiled a little doubtfully : she
could hardly expect tho wholo world to
look at her with her young Iiu9uand b
eyes.
Uld Mrs. l'ago stooa at the larm
lousu door in her best black silk, with
her "company can" and white ribbons,
as the stage coach rolled up a hard
featured old lady, with silver streaked
hair brushed nway from her wrinkled
ioreliead, and nauOu.on wlncn .tho net
work of veins stood up like knotted
cord. Her welcoming kiss ww like
tho peck of a bird of prey so cold and
hard did it seem against Laura's cheek.
Mother I whispered Liaurn, soitiy.
'I am very glad to see you Mrs.
Charles,' said the old lady..
'So you aro Charlies now wile, hoy!
said Farmer Page from tho sitting
room ; 'and a tall, well grown girl, too.
Come in, como in 1 Tea's most readv,
and I dare say you'll be glad of a cup.'
There was something that passed
like the chilled breath of an iceberg
across Laura's heart as sho entered,
leaning on her husband's arm. It was
not tho welcome she had expected and
hoped for; and involuntarily she felt
that her mother-in-law's cold, criticising
eye was upon her, and with no favors-
lie glance.
'1 s'noso you've been brought up to
work ? said Mrs. Page, senior.
No : Laura could not say that sho
had.
'Can you wash and iron your hus
band's shirts V
'No.'
Can you make bread?' J
'I never tried.'
'Cannot cook at all?'
'I am afraid not ma'am.'
'Humph !'
At this Btajre Charles, who had been
watching tho deepening color ou Laura's
cheek with some annoyance, broke in:
'But sho can speak two or three dif
ferent languages, mother, and paint
beautifully, aud I wish you could read
some of the poetry she has written.'
'Humph!' again enunciated the
mother-in-law. 'Languages, painting
nnd poetry stuff won't make the kettle
boil, you'll find, young lady.'
'She has been taught in a seminary,
mother,' the young husband interposed,
'where she has had no opportunity to
learn the useful things you speak of.
11 in good time. Komowasnt lmilt
in a daw'
But Mrs. Page, with her thin lips set
close together, was busying herselt
about tho tea table. Sho need not hnvo
taken tho trouble Lnur.i'B nppetito
was pretty effectually destroyed.
'Come, darling,' said Charles, 'I want
to show you tho path to tho spring in
the woods.'
Old Mrs. Pago looked contemptuous
ly after them.
'That's all she's worth,' she muttered,
'to look at pretty things and liston to
honeyed speeches. 1 wonder where
Hiram Pago would bo now if I had
been cut out after that paternt'
In shoit, it was nu iulinito relief all
around when tho short visit came to mi
end and Chailes took his young wife
back to his home, Lama was depress
ed and nielcancholy, and Charles,
though he would not have confcubcd it
even to himself, was a littlo prejudiced
ny inu strong opinions expressed oy
both father and mother on the subject
of his matrimonial choice.
Scarcely six months had passed over
the horizon of their married life, how
ever, when clouds camo to darken it.
Charles Pngo was only ti clerk in a
bank bm, this humble salury had proved
sullicieiit for hiimelf and Laura. Con.
sequontly, one nigjit returning lato
from business, ho slipped and broko his
right ankle m badly that a severo illness
followed t it brought tho grim phantom
poverty neater to them than it was at
nil pleasant.
'Wo won't let tho old folks at homo
know of it, Laura,' said the young clerk,

Lnum was sitting by her husband's
bedside ono dreary November twillight,
when theio was an unwonted bustle at
tho door below a throwing down of
trunks and shrill articulntlon of voices.
Sho hastened to tho head of tho stairs

Then followed explanations nnd ro
citals, much to tho relief of Farmer
rage, who had instinctively slunk into
tho back ground until tho violence of
his wifo's wrath should have subsided.
'And you'ro no better off than wo be!'
sighed Mrs. Page, glancing sadly
around the room. 'Ah h 1 this is what
comes of ilno ladies for wives 1'
It was not exactly n logical con
clusion, but it seemed to afford wond
rous consolation to the old woman who
immediately untied her bonnet-strings,
nnd prepared to 'mako herself at
home.
'Is this money in tho pockot-book nil
yon'vo got left, Charles?' demanded
his mother, about ten days after their
unexpected arrival.
'Yes, mother.'
'Only fivo dollars; nnd tho rent will
come duo to-morrow, and thero's a bill

how much tho doctor's bill is going to

charge her to-morrow morning. If
your wife can't do tho housework of
theso few rooms, I can.'
Charley Pago closed his eyes wearily,
and pressed his hands upon his throb
bing temples. It was not tho best
course of treatment for n feverish
patient, this enumeration of domestic
troubles ; but old Mrs. Page had nover
been ill herself, and consequently made
littlo allowanco for the weak and worn
out stato of her sou.
'I don't know what Laura's doing up
in her room,' said tho old lady. 'She
had a great deal better buy a wash-tub
and a bar of yellow soap, and do the
family washing instead of putting it
out and spending her timo writing
poetry.'
'Laura has been tho most tender and
devoted of nurses to me, and I will
listen to no aspersions of her conduct,'
interrupted Charles Page, indignantly-
'Mrs. Page screwed her lips tightly
together, as she turned tho solitary
noto over aud over, but she ventured
on no more derogatory remarks down
stairs.
Creepinc like a veritablo pussy-cat
up tho staircase, sho entered her
daughter-in-law's apartment with the
stealthy movement peculiar to that
quadruped.
'Painting, eh, Mrs. Charles? Let me
tell you I think it's your duty to attend
a little more to the housework and less
to your fino amusements up here. Do
you see this noto ? it's all wo'vo got left
in the house, and if you think it's 'going
to support you in idleness you'ro mis
taken. 'Is Charles alone, mother?'
'Yes, ho is alone ; but as I wao say

'1 think we had better join him.
Old Mrs. Patre hobbled down after
Laura's graceful movements, grumbling
as sho went.
'Laura,' said her husband with a
troubled face, 'mother tells mo that our
funds are getting low
'Only a live-dollar bill loft, said tho
old lady clutching at it greedily, as if
fearful that it would tako wings unto
itself and vanish into thin air.
'And,' resumed her son, 'what aro
we to do ?'
Might as well nsk advivo of the
biggist wax doll in tho shop around

'See Charles.'
Laura had opened her littlo portc-

tents on the bed, eloso to Charles's
hand.
'My gracious mo 1' ejaculated tho old
lndy, 'where did nil theso bills como

'One hundred dollars ! My dearest
wife how did you get this!'
Laura's cheek Hushed hiuh with pride
aud gratification.
'My littlo picture of "Spring in tho

A hundred dollars! tor a trumpery

under her breath, yet looking at Laura
now with deference and admiration
drawing in her face. Tho woman who
could earn a hundred dollars by a
week's work was not to bo'despised.
Charles Pago's oyes filled with tears;

How the Fur Seals of the Bearing Sea Are
unven to tho fulling Grounds,
Tho method followed by tho natives
of St. Paul's nnd St. George's Islands,
on tno -imsKu coast, in capturing tho
itir seals, is curious. JJtiring tho sum
mer season tho seals froqlient the shore
of theso islands and gather on the beach
in vast numbers. Tho vouuiier mnlo
or bull seals aro tho only ones that nro
Kiucti, and thoy nro ioutid nsscmblod
by themselves nwny fromjtho brooding
rookeries. Tho natives tro down to
tho beach in early morning and quietly
surround n group ot n Hundred or moro
seals, getting between them and tho
water. Tho peals are then alarmed
with shouts and cries, and, terrified,

killing placo near tho villngo on tho
shores of tho island. Driving them is
n very easy thintr. nlthoUBh it tnkea
them somo timo to accomplish tho dis
tance ; but thev blunder alone, stimu
lated by tho cries of their captors
The old bull seals that may bo in tho
drovo nro apt to show Unlit, but if thev
do tlioy aro nllowed to drop out of tho
crowd, as their skins are worthless.
Tho younger ones aro as e.-wy to drivo
as a llock of sheep.
I ho seals, when finally driven up on
tho Hats between tho east landing nnd
tho village, nnd nlmost under tho
windows of tho dwellings, nro herded
there until cool and rested. Tho drives
aro usually mado very early in the morn
ing, nt the first breaking of day, which is
half-past l or 2 o'clock of Juno and
July ot these latitudes. They arrive
and cool oif on tho slaughtering grounds,
so that by G or 7 o'clock, nfter Jbreak-
last, tho able-bodied tnalo population
turn out from tho village and go down
to engaire in t! o work of Blauchter.
The men nro dressed in their ordinary
working garb of thick flannel shirts,
stout cassimere or canvas pants, over
which the "tatbossa" boots aro drawn ;
if it rains thoy wear their "kamlaikas,"
made of the intestines and throats of
tho sea lion and fur seal. Thus dress
ed, they aro each armed with a club, a
stout oaken or hickory bludgeon, which

purpose nt Now London, Conn., and
imported hero for this especial service
These sealing clubs aro about fivo or
six feet in length, threo inches in diam
eter at tho heads, nnd tho thickness
of a man's forearm whero they aro
grasped by the hands. Each native has
his stabbing knife, his skinning knife,
and his whetstono ; theso arc laid upon
the grass convenient when the work of
braining or knocking tho seals down is
in progress. This is all tho appara
tus which they have for killing and
skinning.
When tho men gather for work they
aro under tho control of their chosen
foreman, or chiefs ; usually on St. Paul,
divided into two working parties at
tho village, and asnb-party at a North
east point, where another salt-houso
nnd slaughtering field is established.
At tho signal of tho chief, tho work of
the day begins by the men stepping
into tho drove, corralled on the flats,
aud driving out 100 or loO seals
at a time, mako what thoy call a pod,
which they surround in a circle, huddle
tho seals one on another as they narrow
it down, until they are directly in reach,
and under their clubs. Then tho chief,
after ho Inn cast his experienced oyo
over the struggling, writhing mass
asses the word that such aud such a
eal is bitten and that such and such a
seal is too old ; the attention of his men
being called to these points, he gives
tho word strike, aud instantly tho heavy
clubs como down all around, and
overy ono that is eligible is stretched
out stunned and motionless in less time
really than I tako to tell it. Thoso
seals spared by tho chief now strugglo
irom under andover the bodies ot their
nsensiblo companions nnd pass, hustled
off by the natives, back to tho sea.
Then the carcasses aro skinned, and the
pells prepared lor shipment.
The common or popular notion in re
gard to seal skins is that they aro worn
oy inosu miliums just as tnoy appear
when offered for (.nlo; that the fur-seals
swim about. exposing tho samo soft
coat with which our ladies of fashion
so delight to cover their tender forms
during inclement winter. This is a
very great mistake ; few skins aro less
attractive than is tho seal skin when it
is taken from tho creature. Tho fur is
not visible ; it is concealed entirely by
a coat of stiff overhair. dull, urrnv-
brown, aud grizzled. It takes three of
them to make a lady s sack and boa.
Fitting them for tho market is a tedi
ous, costly process, requiring great
skill.
As tho summer wanes the seals for-
sako the islands, and old and young

Oaring Consumption by Vaoolnatlon.
Among tho latest surprises that
scicnoo has furnished is tho euro of
consumption by vaccination. Recently
Dr. Wcsloy Miller, a famous physician,
read a paper entitled "Prevention of
Tiibomiilnr Disease in Mnn and Domes
tic Animals," beforo tho. Now York
Acadomv of Science. Tho paper was
called out by the recent researches of
Dr. Koch, Government Adviser in tho
Imperial Health Department of Berlin,
who discovered that consumption could
bo convoyed by inocculation. Dr Mil
ler pointed out thnt a relatrd diseases
might bo transmitted from man to ani
mals by means of inocculation nnd
book from animals to man, thus giving
protection from or lessening the sovcri-
y ot disease, rastctir, no said, iounu
hat his chickens when inoculated with
a miticated virus of chicken cholera
were fortified not against this disease
only, but against anthrax; audit has
also been shown that when animals nro
accinatod with bovinu virus, as in
propogating vaccine to prevent small
pox in man, this operation gives im
munity to tho animal from otlier con
tagious diseases. Though this is not a
princinlo to bo relied upon, no' such
vicarious action in other cases has been
known to exist. Vaccination as elec
tricity, tho essayist said, is a mysteri
ous agency that exists in lifo itself, and
nil wo can do is simply to retider it
harmless, transform it into different
degrees of virulence, and modify its
character, as a preventive. Tho essay
ist referred to a paper written by him
in 1873, in which ho alleged thp possi
bility of preventing consumption of
tho lungs in man by means of vaccina
tion with the modified form of 'tuber
culosis of tho bovine. Expcririicnts of
this sort wero made by him. But this
modified virus was first rendered harm
less by having been carried through a
scries of generations of the bovine
animal. Dr. .Miller expressed, tho bo
lief that at no distant day a proventiyo
for consumption, would bo ,found in
accmation.
Tho Detroit Free Press, referring to
tho strike of tho iron workers, gets off
tho following sarcastic remarks in
showing up the false promises., of tho
iron masters in 1880 when they wero
forcing their men to voto tho Republi
can ticket. Tho workincmen .wero
uped into voting as their employers
'ished on tho plea that tho tariff regu
lated wages and their only hope of re
ceiving living wages was to keep- tho
Republican party in power.. They vot
ed as their employers wished and now
havo tho result in, being denied living
wages and tho iron mills shut down
because they demanded wages propor
tionate to tho immense profits of. their
mployers :
"The striko of tho hundreds of
thousands of iron .workers in this coun
try is absurd and rcdiculous., Their
wngesiaro-"high" "higher, than thoso
of any other country on tho globe."
This is tho "paradise of workingmen."
Protection has made it so. Protection
gives them their high wages ; assures
them employment; feeds them and
clothes them luxuriously ; makes them
contented with their lot; always, "as
surcs them of a liomo market," so that
they not only need not be out of work,
but thoy can always obtain work at
wages which enables them to live like
princes. Two years ago the shops
and manufactures which are now aban
doned by or shut agaiust these work
ingmen were placarded wun tno com
parative prices paid to labor in this
country and in Europe. The men
were told that unless they voted as
their employers wauted them to vote,
either their wages would bo reduced to
tho scale of foreign wages or their em
ployers, would shut up their shops alto
gether. No change has been made in
tho tarilt since then. Tho rato on iron
is still as it was then, nearly the high
est imposed on any protrected article,
and yet theso men want higher wages.
Thoy say they can't earn money
enough to pay for the increased cost of
living. Thereupon their employers
closo their establishments. In other
words, what they predicted as tllo fato
of their warkingmen, in caso of their
. . . ,. .i i i ii
nub vuuiig us inuy wisucu, nus auiuauy
como to pass in case of their voting as
they wished. This, of course, is ab
surd, and tho workincmen oucht to
know better."
The Price of Meat.
The present high prico of meat seems
to bo tho result of cliquo manipulation,
sinco tho government contracts for beef
lurnished to the Indian agencies havo
been mado for tho ensuing year at
prices not greately different from for
mer years, tho rates in somo instances
being oven less. There can, therefore,
bo no scarcity of cattlo on the Western
plains, which aro tho great reservoir of
our beof supplies. American beof sent
to tho English market is supplied to it
at prices lower than thoso charged in
our seaport markets. This evidenco
that tho prices wo aroasked to pay aro
unnatural and thorestilt ol combination
on tho part of tho purveyors of our
markets seems strong. How tho thing
is dono ought not to remain long a se
cret from tho interested efforts of tho
great newspapers of Now York to elu
cidate it. Tho meat inquiry is ono
which thoy can very profitably take up.
It would pay tho ieraWa readers bet
tcf to know why it is thnt thoy aro
charged high prices for beef than to bo
iiiiormea oi tno exact appoareneo ot
things around the North Polo: and tho
information can bo had at a uood deal
less cost and risk.
riio market for boef in Now York
controls that in tho country, becnuso it
is tho chiof distributing point, It is a
surprising fnot that all tho best beef
used on tho Southern Atlnntio sen coast
comes from Now York ; it goes from
tho city to tho country. Ono would
think this would bo nn unnatural meth
od of supply. Tho South ouerht to
raise beef onough for its consumption.
It does raise it in abundance, but tho
qunltity is not good. -Tho cattlo aro
not iaiteuod properly. Poor beof is
choap enough ; the high cost cornea
with tho qunltity. Perhaps this explains
wny inu maiKci lor good oeot is so
readily manipulated. The supply may
bo so limited as toennblo it to bo ensily
