WHERE THE WILD THWGS GROW.
O for tho twsky gardens.
Deep In rt'3 green old woods,
Wbe ro the oa'.;s have woven curtains
To shelter thulr sylvan broods:
Where tho fStne-trocs murmur and whlspet
Secrets we long to know
O to rest in the shadow
Where tho wild thlDgs grow!
There by tho brock's clear mirror,
All on a summer's day.
The See, the Mrds and the blossoms
Have It their own sweet way;
There. In tho tender twilight,
Barred by a golden gleam.
Mushed In the deenest silence,
The wood-ferns dream.
There many a grassy pathway
Leads to a fairy scene,
Where the portrldje-berry's coral
Lights the dusk of the wintererrn:
Where the bells o( the precious twin-flower
In the fragrant spaces blow
O to rest In the shadow
Wh re the wild things grow!
Mr. M. V. Hutu, in Outlooli
THE NEW YORK CUKL.
Jnny Did H?r an Injustice, and
Was Sorry for It.
"I almost wish I hndn't been Invited."
a?d Jenny, as she stood bffurc the
drvsuinff-frlass pinning around her neck
the old piece of white laoo Aunt llar
btra had given her.
"O Jenny! 1 only wish I could pol
I wouldn't care what I had to wear,"
cried Madge, who, with red flannel
bandage about her throat and a bottlo
of cough mixture in one hand. s:;t by
the fire watching her sister. "It's just
mv luck to be laid up with thia horrid
cold."
" "And It's just my luck to have to
war this old blue cashmere?," said
Jeuny.
"I do wonder what the girl from Xew
York will have on!" and Madge looked
redectivs.
"Madge! You've said that at leaat
twenty times! Of course she will be
dressed to death. She won't lose such
a chance as this to show off."
"The street dress she had on yester
day was perfectly lovely!" said Madge.
"fMie went by here twice, and I had a
good look at her. I only wish I could
see all her clothes. I might get some
Ideas for my own. Find out how long
she is going to stay with Ella Eastman,
Jenny, and do got well acquainted
with her, so you'll have a lot to tell mo
when you get back."
"Indeed I shan't! I'm not going to
toady to her for anybody. She Is
stuck up enough as it is. If you'd just
been the way she looked at me when
Ella Eastman introduced us yesterday
in Sill's store! Evldontly so surprised
that Ella should know anyone who
would wear an old water-proof cloak
and carry a cotton umbrella. I never
will forgive her that look."
"Now, Jennie! you're so sensitive,
you know. Perhaps Jou only imagined
she looked surprised."
"No imagination about it. I guess I
. i-an mm. I f.nly wish shf weren't going
to be at the party. It will inst spoil it
for me. Now, how (inos tins arrange
ment strike you?" turning for her sis
ter's inspection.
"Well, you look very nice, consider
ing. 1 Uoa't liku that breastpin exact
ly; but cour.si' yi.u'r j ubligod to have
something to hold the lace. I wish
you hud soaie tlowcrt,; they always add,
to muoh t.: a drei,t."
"Flowers! at this time of the year!
and in Wentbridge! You might as well
wteh I had diamonds."
"Jenny, isn't it time you were going,
my dear?" called Aunt Barbara's mild
Tolce from the foot of the back stair
way; and Jenny caught up her water
proof cloak, threw a "fascinator" over
her curly head, and, with a parting
glance in the glass, hurried down into
the sitting-room, Madge following with
tWe lamp.
"You look very well very well. In
deed," said Aunt Barbara.
"Oh! Aunt Barbara! I know Ml be
the worst dressed girl there."
"Try not to think of your clothes, my
dear, and be so pleasant that other peo
ple won't think of them either. You
won't enjoy tho party if you let envy
and discontent into your heart"
"1 know but it isn't always easy to
be pleasant, particularly whan one has
to wear a thick, dark dress to a party.
But It's no use to talk about it We
can't help being poor, and it's no dis
grace. Is Iluldah ready? I might as
well go out the kitchen way."
Old Huldah, who had lived with Aunt
"Barbara for ten years, was waiting by
the kitchen stove, muffled in a big plaid
; shawl and a thick black worsted hood.
Jenny didn't like to take the old wom
an out at night, but her aunt wouldn't
let her go through the streets alone.
"You'd oughter er let me see how you
looked," said Huldah, as they went
along the path leading to the front gate.
"1 ain't nrer seen you dressed out for
A real pany."
f "Oh, I'm net worth looking at, Hul
dah. I haven't any finery, you know,
and you've seen me in this old blue
cashmere fifty times."
"I heara down to the store this
mornin' that that girl that's visltin' to
ijttuire EastoiuuVs Uud flowers smt all
ffce way from Hew York," saM rfifldah,
slowly. "Come by express. I guess
she'll be as fine as a fiddle."
"Oh, of course," replied Jenny, a lit
tle sharply. And then they tramped
on in silence, the hard snow crunching
tinder their fi t. The people in Webt
bridge never cleuntvl off their sidewalks
in winter; the now always 13- on them
until thawed uv the un.
Dr. Wright's house, where the party
was given, was lighted up from tho
ground floor to the attic;; and Jennie
felt quite excited when she saw that
tho steps were covered with carpet, and
that the doctor's buy, with white cot
ton gloves ou his bunds, stood lu the
vestibule waiting to open tho door.
She bade Hulcluli "good night," and ran
lightly up the steps, wondering if, un
der the circumstances, she ought to
speak to Tim. She thought it would
hardly do not to recognize him in some
way, as he was Uuldah's nephewf so
she compromised on a little nod, and
then hurried up the broad flight of
stairs to the second story, In the waits
of three girls who had gonn in just be
fore her.
The doors of the front parlor were
open, and Jennie saw Mrs. Wright and
Bertha standing. Just within, the latter
fwearlng a!' "pale bluer r nuhs'-velling
trimmed with white lace ;' u
I 'U do hope I won't be the only one
In a thlcw drenV'i tnrmght Jenny, sigh
ing involuntarily. v
Ono of the girls In front of her turned
suddenly and looked back, and Jenny
recognized her as Edith Alden, the
girl from ew York, in whose honor
the party was given, She nodded as
Indifferently as she could, and the next
moment they were in the dressing
room. The room was half-full of girls, all
chattering liko magpies; and Jennie's
heart sank like lead as she saw that
nearly all wore light dresses, and tho
few whoso dresses were dark had
turned them In at the neck and filled
In tho spneo with illusion or silk, so as
to give the in a pretty effect, while all
wore little ornaments in the shape of
;hnins, fancy pins, or bracelets. Oh!
If only she could slip out and go home!
But it was too late for that. Half a
.lozen girls had already spoken to her.
She made her way to a far corner,
and began slowly to unbutton her long
.'look, dreading the moment when she
should stand revealed in her plain,
dark dress, with the ancient hair
breastpin as her only ornament, and
just then she heard some one say:
"Lend me your glove-hook, Fannie.
I never can button these gloves with
I uiy fingers."
Olovesl Jennie had never thought of
gloves! The only pair she owned wera
dark brown, and were reserved exclu
sively to wear to church. Oh! what
could she do! It was bad enough to
have on a dark, heavy dress but no
gloves! Tears of wounded pride rose so
thickly to her eyes that she could not
see to unfasten tho "fascinator," which
had caught in the breastpin.
She heard tho girls troop out, eager
to see what was going on below; but
she stood there fumbling with the
breastpin, and wishing oh, how earn
estly! that she hadn't come, and won
dering If she would ever have the cour
age to go downstairs.
"Want to use my glove-hook, Jen
ney?" asked Ella Eastman, on her way
to the door.
"I no I I didn't bring my gloves,"
faltered Jenny.withoutlooklng around,
and dragging desperately at the "fas
cinator." "Well, I came very near forgetting
mine," said Eila, in an indifferent
tone, "Coma on, Edith. Are you
ready?"
"Almost Go on, don't wait for me.
I'll follow you in a minute."
"I'll wait at tho stairs for you. I
want to look down into the hall," Bald
Ella, as she left the room.
An instant of hesitation, then
swiftly the girl from New York crossed
the room to Jenny's side. How sweet
she looked in her white crepe with
pearls on her neck, and a creat bunch
of tea roses ou her breast! And how
carelessly she tossed on a chair her
plumy fan and laee handkerchief.
Then, as in a dream, Jenny saw her
plunge her hand Into a blue plush
"party-bag" and heard her say:
"It is too bad you forgot your gloves.
Can't you usa these? They look as if
they'd fit you. I always bring two
pair, so that if I tear one pair I have
another ready. And I want you to have
these roses, too. See how pretty they
look against your dark dress. They
scarcely show at all on mine."
Then so quickly that Jenny scarcely
knew bow It was done the roses were
pinned on her breast, and with a little
smile and nod, as if well pleased with
the effect, the girl from New York was
gone.
Jenny stood there a moment, dazed,
bewildered with a lump in her throat,
Veers In her eyes, and the pretty
gloves in her hand. Only the arrival
of a fresh bevy of gay young guests
aroused her.
"Why, Jenny Cole, that your' said
one. "How nice you look, Jenny," from
another; and, "Where did you get those
exquisite roses?" cried a third,
"They were a present," answered
Jenny, slowly, as, drawing on the
gloves, she moved so as to see herself in
a long mirror.
She hardly recognized herself, so
muoh did the beautiful flowers add to
her appearance, And, oh! how happy
and gay and well satisfied with every,
thing she felt as she descended the
stairway a few minutes later and
joined the merry crowd in the parlors.
And to think that she owed it all to the
girl from New Yorkl
Madge was sittln up in bed with an
old shawl around her shoulders when
Jenny came in at midnight
"I've just been taking my medicine,"
she said, "Did you have a good time,
Jenny? And, oh! where did you got all
those roses?"
"The sweetest, dearest girl In the
world gave them to me," answered
Jenny; "and she's coming to call on
you tomorrow, Madge. I told her
about your cold, and M
"Who is coming to call? Who is the
sweetest, dearest girl In the world?"
ftsfterwpted Madge. "Do explain who
you mean, Jenny."
"I mean the girl from New York,"
answered Jenny.
"What? That hateful, stnek-np girl
who looked so surprised when Ella in
troduced you? The ono you wished
wouldn't bo at the"'
"Don't say another word," inter
rupted Jenny. '(), Madge! I am so
ashamed of myself."
And then she told her all about it

One of tho many expedients resorted
to by ISritibh farmers in the effort to
save their crops which have suffered bo

CREATURES OF OCEAN DEPTHS.
they Fall trt Pieces When f he rressnr of
Water No Longer Holds fhtm Together.
The new submarine world now ex
plored and mapped out presents a very
different pletnrc from that painted for
us by the poets. But a short time has
elapsed since the bottom of tho ocean
was supposed to be the counterpnrfof
the face of the earth above water with
hills snd valleys, with precipitous
mountains lifting toward the surface
and profound gorges sinking to un
fathomable depths. The ocean flixir in
far less diversified than tho land.
Hero and there, to bo sure, islands
In mid-ocean are tho summits of
enormous mountains, rising more
or less abruptly, from a gener
ally levol surface, r.nd the sea
lying over u narrow, depressed
region in the northwestern Fneiflc
reaches It greatest depth. But
this Is exceptional: in its general char
acter the ocean bottom consists of vast
flat or slightly undulating plains. An
extraordinary circumstance that has
been noticed with Interest, and that
always crtat.-s Mirjir;.c when Hrst
learned, is the entire absence of for
eign matter In the deeper part of the
ocean's floor.
Of all the vessel lost In mldocean;
of all the human leitigsthnt have been
drowned; of all 'be marine animals
that have perished, of all the clay,
sand and gravel let fall by dissolving
Icebergs; of all the various substances
drifted from every shore by shifting
currents, not a traco remains: but in
their place water from one thousand
to twenty-five hundred fathoms in
depth covers the uniform deposit of
thick, bluish, tenacious slime, called
globlgerina oozo. A bit of this under
a powerful lens is a revolution of beau
ty not readily forgotten. The ooze is
composed almost entirely of the dain
tiest, most delicately beautiful shells
imaginable.
At depths grentrr than two thousand
five hundred fathoms the bottom of the
sea consists mainly of products arising
from exposure, for almost incalculable
periods, to the chemical action of sea
water, of pumice and other volcanic
matters. This finally results in the
formation of the red clay deposits that
are considered characteristic of the
profoundest depths of the ocean. Car
bonate of lime, which in tho form of
the shells of foraminlfera, makes up so
large a part of tho globlgerina ooze, is
here almost entirely absent
Sea water is very rtearlr a universal
solvent, and before any shell, larce or
small, reaches the bottom of these tre
mendous abysms it is chemically eaten
up, literally dissolved a result which
the en'ormous pressure of the water
must materially hasten. At ono thou-
