THE NEW BIRTH.
IT HSItMiN UHKIVAI.K.
Ooil spako In a volco of thunder,
Of old from Mind's hill j
And tho mystic words of wonder
Thrill tho belle rr still!
He sees In tho vault nbuxo him,
With tho eyo of f.ilth tilone.
Ocmmal round by tho souls that love Him,
Tho great Creators throne.
Ho sees In the day of danger
The column of cloud that led
From the land of the alien strnuger
Ills Israel, whom ho fed i
And knows-tho' his footsteps w onder
Astray In tho twilight land
That his homo Is building jomlcr,
Dy tho one unerring hand.
He sees, In the night of peril,
Tho pillar of lire that shone
From the hills of tho pearl and bcrj 1 ,
To light Cod's children on ;
And feels that straight from heaven,
When tho eyo of bonso grows dim,
Hhall a grander sight be ghen
To all who trust In him.
On tho page of the mighty ocean
Ho reads the mightier still
Who cuiu-i Its restless motion
Dy the law of Ills royal will s
And while In lis courso diurnal
It murmurs or sings or raves,
He lists to tho voice eternal,
In Iho language of the warts.
He marks In the plants around him
The throbs of n llfo their own,
While tho worldless world that bouud him
Whlipcr their undertone.
From tho hawk and the hound yet clearer
He hears the secret fall.
Which nearer to him and rearer
Drlnga the great Ood of all.
In leaves that Wow and perish
In the spaco of a slnglo hour,
As tho lorothat most wo cheilsh
Die like tho.fralleat flower,
In the lit lng thing whoso ltv lng
Whllhers or e'er they bloom,
Ho rends of tho great thanksgiving
Which breathes from tle ojicn tomb.
The bright spring leaves leturnlng
To the stem whence nutumn's fell,
And the heart of summer burning
To chango at tho winter's spell,
Tho year that again repasses,
The grain that ngntn revives,
Are tlgns on tho darkened glasses
That bar and bound our lives.
I know how the glass must darken
To rny visions more and more,
When tho weak ear strains to barken,
When tho fulnt eyo gazes o'er,
But tho glass shall melt and shiver,
Once kissed by the lighting breath,
And tho light tiehlnd the river
Shlno full In the faco of death.
Strong set In a strong affection,
We look at tho golden prime,
When a mightier resurrection
Shall burst on the doubts of time :
And the thoughts of all tho sages,
Like the waves of the fretful main.
At tho base of tho ltock of Ages,
Shall foam and fume In rain.
SELECT STORY.
A REAL SWEET STORY.
It was far the worrit quarrel thoy ever
lind, ami they had had many, for she
had a temper, and he had u temper, and
they were both of them impulsive
young people with very little Helf-eon-trol.
"You aro a false, selfish, untruthful,
unnianliko man,'' said she.
'And you n suspicious, unreasonable,
unwomanly woman," said he.
"Take back yotu- letters," she cried,
Hinging a parcel tied with hyacinth
blue ribbon on tho lloor at his feet.
"I will," he muttered between his
clenched teeth, picking up a parcel and
throwing it into tho lire, where it hlaz
ed brightly for a moment or two and
then Hew away in uncanny black frag
mcnts up tho chimney. As tho last
fragment disappeared Hick turned
again to I.etty, with frowning brow,
and asked, as ho asked before, "Do you
still persist in accusing mo of deceit
and falsehood T
"I do," sho replied, "unless you show
me tho charm."
"I will not show it to vou," ho de
clared, with violent emphasis. "If my
word be not sullieieiit, I refuse to give
you further proof. I wonder that you
dare insult ino by asking it. And I also
wonder how you, believing mo to be
false and untruthful, can bu willing to
trust your future to me. And, to speak
frankly, I begin to think wc have mado
a great mistake in supposing that we
could spend the future happily together,
for I am fully convinced that wo avo
anything but
"Two souls with but a single thought,
Tno hearts that bent ns one."'
(These lines were quoted with the most
sarcastiu inlleetion). "And furthermore,
1 also begin to think that perhaps it
would have been better if wo had never
inailo this mistake if we had nover
met, in fact."
"Oh, indeed, sir! with great as-
sumption of dignity. "Ilavo you just
arrived at the conclusion f I have long
been suro of it. Hut theib is nothing
easier than to part. Your letters aro
already disposed of. To morrow I will
send back your ring and picture. And
then, when I am free oneo more, I can
try to please my mother (our acquaint
ance, as you aro well aware, has never
pleased her), and in pleasing her 1 may
lind I am doing a pleasant a well as 'a
wise thing for myself."
"Are you relerring to iwoughain
Ilrown t"
"I am reforriiigtollmtighaiu llrown."
"15y heavens I" exclaimed Hick, seiz-
iiiK his hat, "this is too much, l.otty,
good by forover I"
iiut JjClty began humming nil air
from "Patience," drumming au accom
paniment on tho window pane, and
vouchsafed no answer. Hick lushed
from tho room. Tho humming and
drumming ceased instantly, anil tho
whilom poiloriiier listened intently.
Fivo minutes passed, and still tho street
door did not slain. "lie is waiting for
mo to come out in the hall ami beg his
pardon, I supposo," sho said, with u do
limit grimace, but I won't; and sliu
turned again to tho window as tho door
shut with a bang.
And then she Hung hersclt on the
lounge, kicked off her slippers, and cried
like a summer shower. Hick gone, mid
gone-"forever P Hick, whom sho had
loved so dearly, and who had loved her
so dearly, lor two long years. And wh t
T... l. !. 1! T
Mist iiui'iiuBU iimi Miiy, giggling J.eillt
Vanan, with her palo bliio eyes ami
straw colored hair had chosed to tell
fibs about linn. And, shaking the tears
from her lashes, sho began scoldliiL' her
self as she had scolded poor Hick. "Tito
idea, Letty Lousberry, of you believing
that gm uoioro iiimi what possess ji
youP
"IIo did Hirt u little with her, that is
true; but all men flirt a lilllo with girls
wiiu persist in luiiiiinug ineiu aim iiat

iiii: iiuii; gum pig your juiibmiiiib gm
lo him never I How sho got it I can t
iinnghio, but ho would havo explained
It you had given him a chance.'' And
then (ho absent mother, who had gono
to Aunt Emory's for a two day's visit,
camo in for a share of reproach. "If
bIio had only let our engagement bo
Kiimvii, iiiHieaii ui waning until iviok
was twenty one, and I had been obliged
lo carry mv engagement ring in mv
back hair, tho only place where it is
saiu Irom Isabys goodness gracious!
Habyl" "And Letty suddenly romcm
bcrcd that ever sinco" Hick came in to
make a morning call, knowing Mrs.
Lousberry was absent poor fellow 1
hu'd havo stayed away if he could havo
forseen his reception Haby had been
sitting alone in tho dining room in the
middle of the big dining tablo surround
cd by all the picklo und marmalade jam
and fruit cans and catsup bottles and
lrtiil jars out of tho store-room. For it
was the monthly house-cleaning day,
and tho store room fell to Letty's share,
tho foreign help being gifted with too
great a talent for mashing and break
ing, to say nothing of an equally great
talent for abstracting an d devouring
both sweets and sours.
Letty sprang from tho lounge, thrust
her feet into her slippers, and hastened
where duty had been calling her for
some time Haby sat, as good as gold,
nursing a bottlo of tomato sauce, snug
ly wrapped in a dish-towel, in tho very
spot where sho had been when Rick's
ring summoned her sister to the door.
Only one small llask lay broken on tho
lloor, tilling tho air with the subtle fra.
granec of garlic. ''That won't be miss
ed," said Lettie. "Thank fortune, there
is no worso mischief "done." Hut the
"thank" was scarcely uttered when her
eyes fell upon the last jar of tho famous
peach marmalade, tho secret of tho
making which died with grandmamma,
and which was being carefully kept for
Aunt Emory's (Aunt Emorv was an old
maid worth $30,000) birthday. There
it stood directly in front of Baby, with
more than half of its thick naner hat
torn off, and a yawning cavity made in
!la ...... . 1... !!..! .
IW5 M t-tiiUlia UlMlltJIItS U' IHUU DUUUpiIlg
lingers.
"Oh, Baby, why couldn't vou have
taken any iar but that ?" asked Letty,
reproachfully and dramatically.
But Baby evidently had no excuse
to offer for not doing so, for sho keut
on crowing to her bottle doll, while her
sister hastily fashioned another paper
hat and tied it securely over what re
mained of the original covering.
1 hen said baby: "Uiek tisa I nice
Hick 1"
"Oh, that is what ho was doing when
she foolishly imagined ho Iwas waiting
for her to como and implore her for
giveness giving good-bv to Babv. Sho
might have known it, for he had always
loved Baby dearly.
"Yes, Baby, nice Rick, good Rick,
dear Hick; but for all Unit tho ring ho
gave me goes back to-morrow unless I
hear from him to ight. How daro he
wish that wc had never met !"
But she did not hear from him that
night, and the next day tho littlo baud
of gold was released from its hiding
place in her thick brown hair, and a
too-faithful messenger placed it in Hick's
hands ns he left his place of business.
But, ah! what a silent, sorrowful maid
en wandered about tho Lousberry dwell
ing thereafter! what a listless, weary
voice repeated tho nursery rhymes that
Baby demanded fifty times a day I
"No nice no more," said Baby, wiss
ing tho merry tones and the happy
laugh.
But Mrs. Lousberry was not at all
displeased with tho turn affairs had
taken. Brougham .Brown suited her
much better as a prospective son in-law
than Hichard Creightou. One was a
wealthy young brewer, tho other a noor
clerk in a counting house.
"Letty will soon get over it,'' she said
to Letty's father, whoso heart ached at
sight of his daughter's sad face. "A
first Jove disappointment is tlways hard
to bear for a while. I thought I should
have died when Stephen Ford married
my cousin; but I didn't; I lived to mar
ry you, and I have a seal skin cloak,
mil -Mrs. I'ord hasnt even a jacket.
And Brougham Brown, who was
really a manly, generous, good-hearted
fellow in spite of his beer and wealth,
encouraged by tho maternal head of the
house began devoting himself in the
most ardent fashion to Letty; and she,
(.eeing her mother's pleasure thereat,
and hearing no word from Hick, re
ceived his attentions in a passive, unre
sponsive way.
Threo months went bv, and it was
Aunt Emory's birthday, and that ec
centric old lady had decided to divide
it among tho family, lunching with oho
portion, dining with another, nnd sup
ping with a third. Tho lunch party was
tven at her sister Lettia s (Mrs. Lous
berry), and bomo half a dozen old
friends and some dozen relatives were
bidden to the feast. Letty in a seagreen
gown (Hick's favorito gown), with a
spray of pink hyacinths (Hick's favorito
spring flower) in her hair, went quietly
about welcoming the guests, JJroughaiu
Brown following her like a shadow,
until lunch was announced Then tak
ing her place at the table, the young
man still near her, she raised tho cover
from and dinned a snoon into ilin l.t.t.

to be able to hide the mischief Baby
had done), when somebody said, ad
dressing her mother: "Have you heard
that Hichard Ureighton is going abroad
for his health J IIo has given up his
situation, and sails in n day or two.
They say ho has failed lately.
And tho very next moment Aunt
Emory fixed her spectacled eyes upon
her niece's poor, plo face, and asked,
sharply: "What is tho matter, child t
Do you seo anything dreadful in the
sweo'.s T"
"No, ma'am," answered Letty. with
a pitiful attempt at a smile, when tho
spoon struck something harder than
preserved peaches should be.

to servo it. When tho ono wniter wns

also, was called for, not that I wanted
it, or could eat it when it came, but
because butter is a conventional thing

Pennsylvanh Forests.
Wc are glad to perceive that somo
interest is at last beginning to be taken
in the subject of preserving tho Penn-
sylvania forests, which aro threatened
with complete destruction. The Pitts
burg Post, informs us that the Stato
Board of Agriculture, which recently
met at llarrisburg, took steps to ascer
tain what proportion tho timber land of
the state bears to the entire acreage.
Since then statistics which havo been
obtained indicato that about ono fourth
of the ascerago is woodland, and that
its tendency is toward n marked de
crease in quantity. Tho chairman of

The opinion seems to bo that tho
forthcoming peach crop will not be so
largo us recent reports would lead ono
to suppose, but all tho packers unite in
predicting a crop largo enough to meet
all responsible demands. Peaches will
bo cheap and plentiful and of good
quality, but no "gluts" aro cither anti
cipated or desired. This stato of af
fairs will bo even moro profitable to tho
growers than if thoy secured full crops
and then had tobnng tho fruit to over
stocked markets. Judging in tho light
of past seasons, tho number of peaches
to bo packed this summer in Baltimore
will bo about (100,000 cases, or 1-1,100,-000
cans, weighing 18,200,000 pounds.
This enormous amount, which by somo
is considered much too low an estimate,

consequent rapid increase of facilities.
