THE TIME MAY BE.
IV JENNIS JOS 13 CONSlNOITiM.
Tlio time may come when t shall fmlo
From out Uiy life, a loaf decayed,
That drops from off tho lld-wood tree,
Nor leaves a trace tho eye may sec.
Whcro It had hung In summer's pride,
Ileforo it withered, drooped and died,
And whcro nnother budding spring
To tako Its pl.ito a leaf w 111 bring.
The tlmo may bo when I shall glldo
A noonday's shadow from thy side,
.lust llko the ones tho heavens cast
On stream, where lleoey cloudi havopati
Ono moment seen, and thon they arc sot
Their lender outlines all forgot i
And so thy memory, llko n dream,
May pass from of thy life's fair stream.
The tlmo may como when I shall pass
From out thy heart, as o'er this glass,
Before mo now, my hand or faco
I may withdraw, nor leave n trace,
To tell that onco I lingered there,
Where others como to smllo inoro fair,
To charm tho heart, that now to nc
Is moro than heaven o'er cm bo.
The time may In) when I shall go,
A melted flake of fallen snow
A morning's mist a meteor driven
Arros the vv Inter's midnight heaven
In darkness lost, vv here still may Rhino
Tho brighter star o'er paths of thino -That,
vyhen my eyes aro, closed In dust,
Will light again to tryst and trust.
Tho time may be when I shall fade
From out thy thoughts all things aro mado
The creatures of an hour and death
Tho end of all. Ah I vain tho breath
That pleads for aught to stay or savo
One human hope from out tho grave
W here I must go and be forgot
To sleep In some neglected suoL
SELECT STORY.
GOOD TOE NOTHING.
Crash went the bunuttful cut-glass
vase on the stonu slepc, and down nt
the (eet of thu culprit lay the crushed
roses amid the glittering ruin.
"Oh, Maud !'' cried a low, griuved
Voice.
A while robe, dainty and perfumed,
Unshed through the open door in angry
haste, and pained beside the gingham
drss of thu culprit.
"I knew it!" retorted a high-pitched
voice in calm despair. ''Eacli (lay sees
my opinion of you verified, Kathleen.
You are not to be trusted !''
"Surely, Maud, you do not think I
purposely broke your vase V asked tho
gill in gingham looking halt-proudly
at tnc angry lace ot her elegantly-clad
companion.
iUainl bevcin sluuggetl lierslioulilers
shu had learned how from her French
master; and with her head on ono side,
the action gave her quite a foreign air,
she thought.
"What matters it whether you dill it
purposely or not 1" fcho retorted con
temptuously. "Those great, awkward
hands ot yours are torever doing mis-
ni'f they ate truly good for nothing!
Kalhlceii looked down at her brown
hands, and smiled sadly.
"True," shu said, as aim bent down
and gathered up the lovely rosei, that
seemed to cling trndcily to the lithe,
brown lingers "true, good for nothing
as things count in your world, Maud ;
but we aro not at the rmt ot timu vet,
and my record mav read differently,
then."
"What nonsense ! You will never bo
ladylike or graceful, m do your best
with your own virtues! cried iUaiul,
angrily, as tho proud, quiet manner of
the other betravid a natural dignitv
she could not imitate. "Put the loses
n another vase, and clear awav that
iibbish."
Kathleen was lookinj; at the broken
glass with n glad relief in her face.
"1 can mt'iid tins, Uoiism Jlauil, she
quietly said ; "and it can bo used with
safety."
"It will take gentler lingers than
yours, laughed .Maud, coolly, "lint do
as you mease. Unly, Kathleen' siio
paused at the door, looking back over
icr shoulder "you neeiln t thuiK it
worth wlnlo to appear to night. Mam
ma think three unmarried daughters
snllicient to enteitain the guests with
out"
"A noitionless niece of her dead hus
band's'' quietly interrupted tho young
girl, with a far-away smile. "I under
stand, Maud. Don't think I shall regret
it. I do not like good for nothings
any moro than you do.
Maud slumped her loot angrily.
"At least the new doctor is good for
something !" she cried, eagerly, betray
ing her own tactics lor the evening.
"an he should oe, to till the position
lie assumes. 1 trust he has more ambi
tion than vanity, or the poor of Ciilford
will suiter.'
Kathleen carried the vase within
doors, and though she was quick at
rc):.rtee, there were lu.us nono tho less
in her gray eyes, and a wistful pain in
her heart.
Hut hhc quickly completed her task
of nriaiiging tho table anil llovveni, be
sides nu nierons little touches ol fruits
and ices, without which tho effect
would have been marred, if lift to the
one clumsy servant, or the indolent
daughters of the house.
When nil was done, shu felt fieo to
seek her own pleasure on that lovely
In mi evening. And a strange, pleasure
it was for one so young!
She took down a broad brimmed hat
from ils familiar liaiigiug-plaoo behind
thu kitchen door it was needed too
often in her dally duties-. to rest idly
beside her cousins'" on id hall rack
nud in her simple gingham dress, with
its neat, white collar, hast"iied quickly
through thu back gaiden out on to (he
highway, and took tho road lo the vil
lage. "Tho now doctor I" sho pondered.
"And how ho has disappointed me. I
did hope that a clever, earnest physi.
ci fin would come to Gilford, and help
tho poor folks, and instead wo havu a
fashionable, gay young man, who fro
quenls lawn parties nnd flirts with silly
girls. Oh, if 1 who only a man,"
Kathleen was mossing n muddy
patch in thu road ns sho arrived at this
wish, and making a quick spring to the
dry sldo of tho load, tiiriud her nuklu
with a sickening pain and fell prostrnlo
upon the grassy bank,
"Oh, dear! Maud is right, after all,"
sho moaned, m despair, half comical
and yet painful withal, "Two miles
from thu village or home, on a by luno
. t r .
very iew iieqiit nt, nud unauio to iuovo
with a sprained ankle,
And after summing up her position
Kathleen Hist laughed, then cited.
"Poor old granny!" sho sobbed,
"Shu will think I havo deserted her.
and sho is so poor and ill, with no ono
to care for her but mo, nnd now I can
not go to her."
"Perhaps I can help yon," said a
pleasant voico from tho bank above
her.
"I don't know " sho began dubious-
"Well, there's nothing liko trying,"
laughed tho man on tho bank, nnd
down ho catuo with a flying leap to her
side. "What is it! Ilroko anything,
ch 7"
Kathleen had to laugh, ho was bo
pleasant and breezy.
"Oh' no i only twisted my ankle,"
sho said, shyly.
"Only! Humph! You aro used to
making light of great matters, I seo."
And to Kathleen's horror down ho
dropped on his knees, nnd coolly took
possession of her foot.
"So much for wearing a low shoe,"
he said, half angrily, as ho looked at
the active little foot, clad in an Oxford
tie, and then deftly untied it and drew
it off.
Kathleen grow indignant and red.
"You need not trouble yourself M
sho began.
"He still! I am a doctor, young lady,
and know what sprains mean," he
coolly retorted, moving tho foot so
gently, though her lips quivered with
tho pain.
A doctor! Kathleen looked full at
him in astonishment. Not tho now
doctor, surely!
"You arc going to spoil two engage
ments for mo this evening, with this
foot, young lady, so you must repay
mo with obedience. At ono place,
music, laughter and bright smiles await
me, to welcome mo to my now home ;
and the other, a poor old woman is
waiting to thank mo for looking up my
poor, the first thing after I take posses
sion of my practice."
His frauk eyes met the conscious
gray ones looking so eagerly at him.
"You speak of my homo and my
poor old Woman 1" she cried out, glad
ly. "Oh, I am so rejoiced you aro good
for something!"
IIo laughed heartily.
"Which you doubted. And so you
were going to seo the old woman when
this happened f Then you are
"Kathleen Severn," said thu
fjiri,
quietly.
"Doctor Odcar Ware, at your service,"
retorted the cheery voice, nud its owner
doffed his hat. "Now, Miss Kathleen,
I know all about you, for Granny Duff
is uarrulous, and as vou are used to
obedience I expect you to mind mo
now. My horse is at the blacksmith's
across the field, where I left him to bo
shod, while I came over hero to gather
wiui roses ior a sick lau in uio village,
and while I go aftor him, you must sit
still and wait for me."
Kathleen started, Would hu drivo
home.
"Oil, but you must not!" sho pro
tested, in terror.
"Very well. Then I'll leave you ait-
tiny in thu mud, waiting for a deliverer
moro to your taste," said the doctor,
coolly, rising from his knees.
Kathleen felt her eyes droop with
sudden pain.
"Thank you!1' she said gently, with
a sadness in her voice that mado him
look at her.
"I will accept your help since I must."
"I am used lo helping myself, hu: at
last I am useless.''
'I am glad to bo tho first tooffei'jou
holy in your weakness," said the frank
voice, gently and then away he sped
acioss tho field, leaving Kathleen dazed
with sudden ideas and emotions, yet
Inughiui; low and shyly.
In a slioit while tho doctor appeared
on the road, driving n light wagon be
hind a strong brown horse, which ho
drew up before the mud puddle, nnd
sprang down lightly beside the young
girl.
He raised her by her hand on to ono
foot i shu put tho other down carefully,
winced, turned pale, and. before she
knew what next would happen, she
was caught up in a stioug pair of arms
nud lifted high above the mud into thu
wagon.
"There!" said tho cheery voicv, as
the self-reliant young man took up the
reins. "Your foot is all right, Miss
Kathleen. It is only strained a little;
and by tho day after to-monow you
may try another jump.
Kathleen listened shyly; sho was
feeluift emotions so now and strange
that silence sei'ined to protect her from
herself, and tliinuuhuut the drive home
sho could only listen and rejoice at the
bravo natlue ol the new doctor.
Oneo only she spoke, to ask him to
drive in thu back gate and through the
bain yard, so that lier entrance might
not be seen from the house. Then, as
ho left her at the kitchen porch, and
gave her a little glass buttle, with the
direction lo apply it to her foot until
tlu pain ceased, shu raised her eyes and
said:
"I am glad you have come hero Doo
tor Y niv. ho many sad hearts need
you."
"Hut not bravo ones like yours i lie
isked, sharply.
"Even I," sho softly said, as she
tinned away.
Kathleen uruw moio cheerful as the
mouths went by, for her earnest, help-
lul nature lvioiced that there was now
another to caro for and assist thu poor
and sad hearted in the village,
A great pndu grew in her as she
heard her cousins condemn the new
doctor as loo deuiocraliu and hard
working to suit their idlo tastes: and
her eves nud lips grew biiuliter each
day as souiu new talu of his cheery
kindness came to her through village
gossiu,
Thov met but seldom, and then only
r i i.... ir...i
iv iew vvuiiis were niieriii ; nut iviiiu-li-en
felt tho need of oven those few
words, and knew thoy helped her.
Ono day n letter came. Sho was not
surprised , it seemed to her as if tho
timu must como when his nature would
claim hers, and alio was tremulous
with proud jov,
Ho spoko oi their first meeting.
"Of that task were enamored my fingers, I ween
For they llngeied full long u'ir tho fetteis of
thoen."
"Sko smiled me her thanks, and turned from the
spot
With a look In her cjcsl no ir forgot;
For It betmed to bay, In langUkgu too true,
'Thou'st fettered thy hcuil lu tho string of my
Bhool'"
"Good for sonicthinir nt last 1" said
Kathleen, softly, as ehu told her talu to
her aunt and cousins; and in the grtftt
light that beamed iroui tho grey eyes
they ftlt their Hellish natures shrink
ami giow pitifully small.

small caves and cabins in tho wooded

by stealing, hunting and fishing with
nets in forbidden streams. Somo fow

The Conklings are of Indian de

and they bear all tho facial marks of
their ancestors, while, their habits
aro even more indecent and less cleanly
than those of their savaixe ancestors.
They inter-marry exclusively and no
divorco is necessary to separate man
and wife if either party desires such a
separation. The results of this defi
ance of tho laws of physiology aro
evident in the forms of their children.
Many of them aro idiots, somn aro
born without ears, some without limbs,
and there is one singular being, now
living, it is said, in a lonely hut near a
lnko on the western edco of Sullivan
county, that would bo moro of an ac
quisition to Itanium's show than "Jum

eyes nor cars, and only two teeth can
be toiuid in its head, while its feet aro
clubbed and its hands resemble the fins
of a big fish more than human mem
bers. Yet this singular creature lives
and seems to enioy life. A Monticello
hunter, David Iloyle, who often goes
to that part of tho county fishinir, has
seen this "what-is it" eat raw fish, raw
potatoes and even raw skunk meat
with evident relish. 1 ho mother of

The Pension Swindle.
The following from a correspondent
of tho New lork Sim serves to show
., . , .,,
wiiai enormous sums uio pension bins
Aro reaching
lho amount proposed to bo appro
iriatcd for pensions in tho ponding bill
is siuu.uuu.uuiJ. Tins will mako a
grand total in four years of $310,2.59,
UUU,
Under the representation that it
would coBt $20,000,000, Congress
passed tho arrears act. To show how
traudulcnt were the representations, it
is only necessary to snv that tho act
will cost tho country, hrst and last,
S750.000.000. Of this sum by far thu
larger part will bo a dishonest pay
ment. Tho swindle is going on and
growing. The pension system is a
stupendous swindle, systenuzed and
worked with perfect thoroughness.
In 1879 tho sum was 833,121,000.
which has grown with exact regulari
ty till it has reached $100,000,000.
what it will yet como to bo there is no
telling, only that so long as the present
policy lasts it will continue to grow,
notwithstanding tho vague promises
that alter a whilo there will be a dun
inution
It is at this point that the Treasury
is unguarded, and no one seems moved
with a resolute determination to guard
it. To oppose pensioning tho soldier
is to commit the unpardonable sin.
lint it is not to pension the soldier tho
money is paid for. It largely goes to
thoso whom it was never intended
should be paid pensions. Tens of
thousands of persons all over the conn
try aio drawing pensions obtained on
essentially fraudulent grounds. Go
almost where you will, sound, able-
bodied men arc regularly drawing
pensions tho legitimate result ot the
system tinner winch mu uumiics is
conducted. A very considerable part
oi the vast amount annually appropri
sued must be sheer iraiul besides
largo amounts to those who aro not
justly entitled to it unless it be said
that whoever served in the war should
have a pension. Bad as the principle
:.. i.!..t. - .i.... .
is uu vviiiuii uic appropriations arc
mane, it is vastly worse to havo u
aggravated by incompetency, or worse,
iu tho execution. The late Couintiss-
ioner llentlv maintained that a large
part of thu pensions allowed were
triudulpilt. The frightful increase of
itself suggests such a probability. No
real attempt is proposed to be mado to
remedy tho frightful evil. Thu idea
seems to bo that "lho boys" aro en
lined to navo a cnanco at the over
flowing treasury, and the Commission
er appears to bo disposed to nitertero
as little as possible with them. The
sentiment of generosity toward tho
soldier has been and is still being gross
ly abused.

Tho Tough BiU of Beef.
Thcro is an old saying to tho effect
thnl a French family will live on whatan
American family will throw away.
Whether or not this bo accurately true,
thcro is at least a foundation of truth
in it. Whilo there is a great deal of
good housekeeping in this country,
there is a great deal thnt is wasteful,"
and consequently unsatisfactory. It is
in tho matter of not getting tho full
worth of their money out of tho meats
they buy that many of our housekeepers
como short of their privileges. This
has much to do with lho present high
prices of meat, and especially ofb6i!f.'
An ox appears to havo considerable
meat on his bones. Hut if any body
unaccustomed to marketing will stand
near tho butcher for an hour or two ho
will be astonished to seo how few very
desirablo cuts there aro and what a
largo proportion there is of meat whicli
nobody wants, except at a great redtio-,
tion from regular prices. Tho chief
tronblo is thnt most people have not
learned how to cook tougher parts so'
as to mako them tender. In fact thcro
are many so-called cooks who have
hardly any other idea of cooking ment
than to subject it to a process of slow
tortute, which makes it tougher every
minute it is near tho lire. Persons who
thus cook in vain might as well buy
the tough parts as the tender ones.
Many of these pcoplu know as little
about marketing as they do of cook
ery. A professional cook lecturing recently
on the subjectof meat for the bousuhold
told her women bearers that thoy mado
a mistako in not using tho tougher
pieco of meat, as theso pieces when
rightly cooked contain moro nouiish
ment than thoso which aro more gen
erally in demand. Thcro isa little
secret in this connection which is not
generally known by Americans, or if
known is not as widely practiced as it
might be. Steam will do much which
broiling, toasting or oven boiling are '
poweilcss to do for meats. It penc- 1
trates tho fibre where nothing clso can'
tako effect and reduces to tenderness
pieces on which other mothods of cook- '
ing have little or no effect. Steam is ns
easily applied as hot water or fire.
There aro all manner of appliances for
steaming every description of food. "If
a housekeeper will learn to make dainty
aud appali.ing dishes out of theso bits
and parts of meat whicli aro despised
and thrown away it will have its effect
on the comfoits of home and on tho
price of meat as well. l'hlla Times.
A Dinner Excuse.
Apologies for poor dinners aro gen
erally out of place. Hut when a lady
has a forgetful husband, who, without"'
warning, brings homo a dozen guests to
sit down to a plain family dinner for
threo or four, it is not in human nature
to keep absolute silence. What to say,
and how to say it, forms the problem.
Mrs. Tucker, tho wife of Judge Tucker
of Williamsburgh, Ya., solved this
problem years ago. She was tho
daughter or niece (I am not certain
which) of Sir Peyton Skipwith, and
celebrated for her beauty, wit, easo and
grace of maimer. Her temper and tact
were put to tho proof ono court day,
when tho judge brought with him the
accustomed half-scoro or moro of law
yers, for whom not tho slightest prop
arntion had been make, thu judge hav
ing quite forgotten to remind his wife
that it was court day, and she, herself,
btrangu to tell, having over-looked the
fact. "
Thu dinner was served with elegance,
and Mis. T. made herself very charm
ing. Upon lising to leave the guests to
their wine, she said: "6011110111011, you
have dined to-day with Judge Tuoker ;
promise mo now that you will all dine
' to morrow with me."
This was all her apology, whereupon
iu gentlemen swore that such a wife
as beyond price. Tho judge then ox-
aiucd thu situation, and thu next day
lero was a noblo banquet.
Moral : Never worry a guest with
tologies.
