A WISH.
From din and ttrifo of town afar,
In summer I would find a borne
Bet In the green fields like a atar.
That burns in heaven's tapphiro (turns;
And like the placid sweep of sky
Around that Jewel of the night,
I'd have the clover meadows lift
Wbeiin the bcea should find delight;
A winding surer brook to play
The pebbly muala ot its mirth.
To mirror heaven's tnUky way,
And be Its echo on the earth.
Tor clouds tie mine the fringed trees.
In whose loaf arches birds might bide.
And hang their cradles In the bnto
And rock their young upon Its tid&
My paths, pared by the sun and shatte.
Swept by tho wind and washed by dew,
Should be mosaics deftly laid.
Forever fresh, forever sew.
Such be my summer home, where time
So softly, unrecorded, gcxw.
That life seems like melodious rhymo
Bet in tho world's majeetlc proao.
And as the star night overpast , ,
Dies lu thedaan's dew scented breath
Lord, bo It mine, to rind at last "
Day on the taoming side of death.

LOWLAND FOLKS.
Tho "Hltioa Placo," aa it was culled,
was a sciuattcr'a furm. That is, Tom
nines had dumped his wagon load of
household goods down by tho highway
at n certain 8)ot, built n brusii ulinutj to
shelter his family for a few days, and
eventually erected a rudo log cabin, and
there ho had stuck for tho last fifteen
years. Ho had "brushed" over two or
three- acres of land around tho liouso mid
raised a little corn and a few bushels of
potatoes, and I found him sitting on his
doorstep as goodnturcd and content as
a liouso cat after a full meal.
"Powerful glad to neo ycr powerful
glad," ho said as weshook hands. ''Tho
stage driver was a-saylng you'd bo along
today, and I was sorter on tho watch.
You tliar, Jcnnyr"
A woman appeared in answer to the
call, and tho man Baid:
"Jenny, this is ho 'un. Stranger, Jen's
my olo woman. We'vo got a boy named
Uoses, but lies oil artcr roots. Now
como right in and feci homo made."
The cabin consisted of ono room about
sixteen foct square. Thero'was n Uro
plocc, two beds mado of poles, n rudo
slielf on which wero n few dishes, an old
clock which did not go, a rlilo resting
on deer horns, a few gurments hanging
to pegs and a photograph of Cleveland
tacked to tho logs. Tho cash inventory,
outside of tho rifle, would not havo been
$5. I expected to bear tho woman begin
tho usual "nagging" after a bit, aud tho
man to start off with excuses, but noth
ing of tho sort took place On tho con
trary, as soon as I had been furnished
with a bltoof cold bacon and corn bread,
and washed it down with a summer
tonio mado of roots, we went out for n
amoko, and lllnes Inquired:
"How ar-yo linuin tho peoplo along
tho road?"
"Much discouraged."
"Over what?'
"Oh, tho weather and so on."
"That's jls' liko 'cm, tho onery, fault
finders! When it isn't ono thing It's an
other. Stranger, kin yo expect to find
better weather than this outsido of
heaven?"
"Hardly."
"That's what I say. Yo found most
of 'cm lazy and shuckloss, I reckon?"
Yes."
Well, it's nobody's fiult but thar'
own. I lungs dou t looli very peart
around yere, do they?"
"Well, no."
"Thar's reasons fur it. In tho fubt
placo I'm a tquattcr. Can't tell when
I'll hcv to pull up aud git. Tharfore, ye
can't expect me to rush things. In the
next placo wo hcv null to cat and w ar,
and that's nil wo want. Wo is poro folks,
and wo is satisfied to be."
"There nro very few that way."
" 'Zactly, stronger, and that's what
alls this nashun. Thar' hain't 'null phil
osophy about common folks. Now, then,
s'posln' tho president should 'pint me

"Then you 'don't want to bo rich?"
"Yes, I do, but 'taln't fur me. When
I got growed tip to 21, nn' found myself
plzen pore, un' homely, an' longbhanked,
an' ignerent, I knowed figures nn' riches
wasn't fur mo. I cut my sticks ncordin'.
That's jist tho way witli Jen, too. Jen,
como out yero an' talk."
Tho woman cumo out, .lighted her pipe
and sat down, and her husband con
tinued:
"Jen, ho'un thinks it mighty quare
that wo don t yarn I ur uiznuss an riches.
Tell he'un how you feel about it."
"You was plzen poro an Ignerent,
ho said as she looked over id him, "an
I was ull that bilcd down nn' mo', too. I
knowed right off that riches wasn't fur
us, on so I diuu t yarn fur cm.
"And you are content to livons you do?"
"Pooty nigh, stranger pooty nigh. If
I had u hull iiound of sixty cent tea an'
five (Mjunds of brown sugar in tho cabin
all to onco I wouldn't trade places with
any womun In tho state.
"Ye sec, it's liko this," said tho hus
band as ho dug up tho'soll' with a stick.
"If wo was wontin 'wod Hev to nov a

an' git hired belt). Then we'd hev to hev

"He 'un is jlst right," added tho wife.
"Wo'g poro an' can't git no better oft,

Conquest nf the Smoker.
Tho following llttlo incident is wortli
noting as arising out of n great chango
in national custom.
' b:ent A railway carriage, occupied
by an enormous man smoking n cigar,
witliwlvich ho makes tho ntmosphero re
semble tho Strand in n November fog,
and 'it thin, nervous person, with a bag
of sandwiches. Says tho latter: "I beg
your pardon, sir, but will it incommodo
you If I venturo to eat?" Tho former,
with a gratlous wavo of tho cloud giving
weed: "Not at all."
Twenty or thirty years ago this would
havo looked liko burlesquo. Then tho
smoker had only abaro toleration ailord
ed hint. IIo was not allowed to indulgo
his favor! to propensity oven on tho plat
form of a railway station, but was
warned off by placards, which may still
bo 'seen at some stations. Tho accom
modation provided for him was poor
and scanty, and woo bctido bun if ho
ventured to take nny liberties in prohib
ited places. Now ho has things all his
own way. To ids Bupremo will und
'pleasure tho misguided persons who do
not smoku must conform, nnd wherever
friends meet arrangements aro mado for
liis convenience, whilo oven thoso strong
minded lodiej who assert their rights
to attend public dinners nnd other
functions heroically endure rather than
protest against tho onco detested fumes.
This is nico for tho smoker, who would
go to few dinners If deprived of what
l'rinco UiHinarck has called tho delicious
seventh course. London Globo,
Ha.l un Object.
'My friend," ho said, as he entered a
shoemaker shop on Gratiot avenue, "I
should liko to sing you a song."
'How much you charger'
'Not n red cent."
"Vlias it a nice song?"
"Very nice. I am suro you will bo
pleased witli it."
'Vliell, go nhcad.'
The man drew n long breath nnd start
ed oft. It was an awful noise. It was
intended to lift tho shoemaker right off
ills bench. It did so, and after tho first
verso ho said:
"Maypo you haf somo object?"
'I have, my dear bir. while I uon t
chargo anything for singing, I do chargo
twenty-nvo cents to btop.
'I bee; vhcll, I vlias going down to
Springwells for dls afternoon. Whilo I
doan blunge you to como in, I mako you
pay f ecfty cent to get out."
And ho' btepped out and locked tho
door, and fur two hours the itinerant
talked with an inquiring public through
a broken patio of glass, ami freely ac
knowledged that thcro wero belter
games than his. Detroit Freo Press.

Imliutrles lu Ancient Ireland.
Poets nnd rhetoricians havo in their usual
freo and easy way exaggerated the material
prosperity of ancient Ireland. Much of the
splendor attributed to Keltic- kings and bish
ops and bards fades under tho cold light of
historical research. Uut this very research
has put beyond all doubt that beneath tho
exaggerations of rhetoric- and bong there lay
a solid substratum of truth. Thus tho publi
cation by a parliamentary commission of tho
immense and previously almost unexplored
mats of legal institutes known as the, "Brohou
Law s" has verified tho fact that at a tlmo
when Britons wero almost naked 6avnges tho
IriJj Kelts wero clad in woolens and linens of
their own raauufacturo.
Tho Urohon laws abound with references
not only to woolen aud linen goods, but to
carding, woavlug, dyeing und the other pro
cesses of their manufacture. Agilu, in tho
remarkable metrical account of tho rights of
tho mnnarchs of Ireland and of tho provin
cial kings, attributed to a contemporary of
St. Patrick, and known as tho "Book ot
Rights," wo find that tribute was pnld to a
largo extent tu clonics, tunics, inautlos aud
other articles of woolen and liucu manufac
ture, somo white, somo brown, somo trimmed
with purple, somo with fur and some with
gold. Wo can soo for ourselves somothiug of
what was dco in tho more durablo muto

kind, perh-h in far less tlmo than 1200 years.

In material, good hi design, and exquisitely

probably they were dropped in flight, and got

quantities of tho gold work wero consignod to
the crucible. Borne goldsmiths ostlmato that
they purchased and melted down as much as
10,000 worth of ancient Keltic gold work

fortunately, much also hat boon preserved.

Tllio 'Spring Fever.
I havo had many peoplo ask mo for, a
remedy for tho ills which usually visit
tbo human body In tho spring, causing
tho well known complaint of "spring
fever." My cxpcrlcnco has been that tho
best euro for this malady is plenty of
healthful and Invigorating outdoor oxer-
else. Tho most pleasant of these is horse
back riding. When ono is on n trotting
horso, which I prefer, every muscle is
brought into play and exercised. Thero
aro other outdoor amusements which aro
equally benolicial. I hero is ono pro-
Yalcnt form of pastimo which I consider
injurious, and that is bicycling. When
ono is astrido a wheel ho is bent forward,
and, I am convinced, is placed in a posi
tion which has n tendency to contract
tho chest. This Is, of course, exactly tho
opposito effect to bo desired or expected
