There's a world not far from this world of ours, Hut we know not its paths nor ways, For its pathways are strewn with thorns and flowers. And dark are the brightest days. And little few think of the want and woe, And the misery reienincj there, Where the lamp of Hope forever burns low Anil poverty taints the air. There's a world not far from this world of ours, Where hunger's voice is crying, Where the lands are the gardens, the attics the bowers, Where the squalid poor are dying; And little few think in their homes of ease, With light and comfort round, Of the biting cold and the bitter breeze And the horridly humid ground. There's a world not far from this world'of our4;, 'Tis the home of the poor and lowly, Where the cloud of misery ever lowers, And the sun of love shines coldlv. Where the lightly clad and the badly fed Can see no brighter morrow, Where misery meekly bows her head IJeside unpitied sorrow. There's a world not far from this world of ours, , 'Tis the home of the buried dead. Where the wealthy stript of all borrowed powers, With the lowly lay their head ; Where t lie poor and the proud sleep side bv side. To wait the judgment call. And Misery dwells with pomp and pride And Mercy smiles on ail. ; THE NT0RY OF A GRANTED WISH. i IX-.I 1 r,cr' her. KVKKYWHUKJE. M s ; i .us. l-'.s PROMPT:,' ATTKXDF.D TO.

Dullerton was justly named, for it was tl.e quietost, cleanest, drenriest cotii.ti'v in Tngland. I sjX'iit three years there rvi'h old aimi, and liope I may never visit luc ,t.;nn. l I There was nothinjf to hear, nothing to sec. nothing to do, nothing to tliink 1 about. I was too thoroughly a cockney to care for country pursuits, and, ljesides I we lived in a country town. not. village. J . Hern I lived or vegetated for three ! years. And all that time I was .sighing j l for an adventure somethingto happen, j ! something to break the monotony of ex j istence. The reader shall hear how I I gained my wish at last and learned to indorse the truth of Pone's words, "To , know the misery of a granted prayer." 1 We had a tine old church at Duller ton, almost as lar-je as a small cathedral i (excuse the Irishism). It was rich in brasses and fine tombs; indeed, I really believe there were more male effigies on ' the tombstone s than young men in the town. The church though very fine was , sadly out of repair ; but one good thing it possessed an excellent organ, which had leen left the place by a native of Dullerton. I was passionately fond of musk, and when our good easy vicar , e;ive me arte btoiichc to use this organ, 1 found life at Dullerton more endurable. ; As an artist's daughter I could not le ' insensible to the beauty of the church itself; and between practicing on the ; organ, sketching the interior of the 'church, and making -myself intimately ! acquainted w ith the tombs and brasses, I spent a great part of the day in the sa- cred edilice. One col.l, winter afternoon I remem- ; ber having a peculiarly dismal fit, hav- j ing leen in doors for two or three days : in consequence of a heavy fail of snow ; and when, late in the afternoon, it be- j gan to clear, I felt I must go out, it on- ly for an hour. Spite of Aunt Annie's '. mi Idly-expressed astonishment, I went : and felt I must try just one chant upon that dear old organ. Calling at the vicarage for the key of the church, I : went on my wilful way, little thinking how soon my longing for an "adventure" ; was to lie satisfied. It was growing dusk as 1 unlocked the heavy door and . stepped inside the church; so dusk, in . fact, that I missed my footing at the step inside, and slipped, falling against ; the door in my efforts to save myself. ; The door slammed to, leaving the key on the outside. So here I was a prisoner, i The door, like everything else, was out of repair, and dcended on the key for opening it: there was no latch with- ; in. L tried to turn the key through the ; keyhole, but only succeeded in breaking my nails. Then I remembered reading j , how some one similarly situated had j rung the lx 11. Hut alas, our belfry was ; ; approached by a flight of turret stairs, ; terminated bv a door, which I found 1 locked. " : The church was about five minutes , , walk from any habitation and no one ; was likely to pass it, so I might have ! shouted forever without attracting at-, I tent ion. even could my voice have pene- ; : t rated throuo;h the stout oaken door. I j once thought of escaping by the win- j ; dov.s. but they were all too high from tht ground, and even in this emergency ! . I should have hesitated at breaking a ' pane of the rare old glass. My only hope was that Aunt Anne would be ' come alarmed and miss me. I had prom ! ised to return the key at the vicarage as I went home, b-it it was doubtful if my ; non-appearance that evening would ex cite surprise, -dr. S?ott, our old bach : elor vicar, was one of the most absent i minded of men, and if he was immersed . in his books, had probably forgotten the kev and myself by this time. My only hoie to rescue lay in Aunt Anne. As I rose from the step where I had been sitting reflecting on the situation, I began to feel that adventures, after all, were not. without alloy. I thought so sstill more some hours later. Spite of PonnTooi ! my wrappings I was cold so I Rathercd r. corns, wiiioh arc tim ! stray pieces ef carpet and rugs lroratiic m.i-ii ! temper, j SOats and built mvself a warm nest ny the chance1, where I could command a recumbent effigy, the figure was now wanting. Yet, as I looked across now, I distinctly saw a figure lying on the slab. "Mr. Scott has actually filled up that blank tomb at last," I thought, and I strained my eyes to distinguish what kind of a figure he had selected. Its legs were crossed, I was sure ; there fore it must be a crusader. The only distinct part alwut it was the crossed legs, for a rillar hid the upjer part of the body from my view. Looking steadily at it I fancied (was it only a fancy V) that the legs moved ! As this pleasant idea occurred to me, the moon again disappeared ; another few seconds and it shone out again and I ventured to look across once more to reassure myself. There was no movement in the rigid form ; but the legs were crossed no lon ger. Could f have been mistaken in thinking they were so? Impossible! Yet they were most certainly uncrossed now. Again the light waned, and again apjieared. This time I lay looking wit h all my power, unable to move or stir. Was 1 going mad or did my eyes play me false ? Slowly, but unmistakably, tlid the figure begin to stir ; it moved restlessly ujon its stony couch, and final ly sat bolt upright, clear and distinct in the moonlight. I can not attempt to describe the terror that seized on me at this fearful sight, .Never have I expe rienced moments of such mental agony as when I lay cowering among my wrai pings with straining eyeballs fixed on that fearful thing ghost, demon, what? moving eipposite. Prese-ntly it arose and stood upright in the aisle, looking around as if in search of something. I tried to draw one of the carpets over my head, for I could not bear the sight lon ger ; but as I moved a yell rang through the stilluoss, and the figure rushed at me. How I found power to rise I know j not, but I have a remembiance of a mad i flight down the nave and round the i aisles, with that fearful pursuer behind i i on, on, like a vision in a dreadful' fdrearu ; and then another fiendish yell, j a clutch of cold lingers at mv throat. ! and darkness and vacancy ! i . "My dear madam, I assure you it is ' only a fainting lit ; our dear young pa- j tient xv ill be quite herself again in a few j moments," were the first wordsthat fell upon my ear as I opened my eyes to con- ', sciousness. I knew the bland tones of ! little Dr. (iray, our local Escnlapius, and their friendly and familiar sound was so reassuring that I struggled feebly in to a sitting post nre. and looked round to find myself still in the church, but the centre of an excited group tif all the magnates of Dullerton. together with Aunt Anne and Mr. Scott. It was some days before I was suffic iently composed to hear the explanation of my "adventure."1 It apiears that after I had gone out, Aunt Anne's next iloor neighlK.r sent a request that she would take-tea with her as she was not well and wanted cheering up. When she returned at half-past nine, she was greatly alarmed to find I was not in; and hurried off to Mr. Scott : to give an alarm, while Molly, the ser vant, went for Jim I kites, our local o '. liceman. House d from his studies. Mr. Scott remembered I had borrowed the key for the purpose e,f going to the ; church some hours previously, and LOST IX THE DESERT. A KANSAS BOY'S THRILLING TURE. ADVEN- One winter's day a lad named John Wilson, with his father and two neigh bors, all living at Mosquito bottom, Kansas, started for the plains em the Upjer Arkansas to hunt buffalo. Game was nbundant, and the excitement of the chase completely fascinated the boy. It was his first experience in buffalo hunting, and he thought he would like to follow the wild spent all the rest of his days. When the men had killed meat enough to load their wagons they prepared to return, ut John did not want to go home. The hunter's camp was in the shelter 'skirt of timber ' on the river's of a bank. Southward stretched the vast rolling prairie, and therein the distance, while his companions were busy cooking ami packing their rations, John could see buffaloes and antelopes feetling. He begged his father to let him go out and have "one more shot.'" His father finally yielded to his im portunities, and seizing his gun and am munition he was soon out of sight on the prairie stealing within reach of his game. The, wild creatures discovered him and galloped away, but John would not give it up. Away went buffaloes and boy, the latter too much exciteel to think how fruitless such a race must be. Hefore long the herd had left him far behind. Stopping to take breath and look about him, he found that he had utterly lost his direction. He did not know whore he was, nor which way to go. When night drew near the men in camp be gan to wonder what had become of John. His father grew worried, and his worry soon increased to terrible anx ietv. Dv dark the three were on horse back roaming the prairie, shouting the boy's name, whooping like Indiaus and firing guns. Hut they did not find him that night, nor the next day, nor the next, nor the next. Then Mr. Wilson sent home as swiftly as jKissible and called all his old neighliors to come and help him hunt through Western Kansas for his miss ing son. They joined him, and kept up the search till more than a week was gone, but all in vain. Poor John alone on the Great Amct : ican Desert ! The darkness overtook hini while lie was trying to guess his : way back to camp. He walked on bravely, hoping to retrace the ground ! he had run eiver ; but instead of aj- proaching the river every step onl- took ; him further awav. A cold wind rose ami blew in his face, i Jet him lie there , ana oy-anu-oy a sieei siorm came on, and the wet froze upon his clothes till ! they were stiff with ice. Alout mid i night he stumbled against a clump e.f i bushes, and, curling down under their . shelter, he fell aaleep from sheer ex ! haustion. In the morning he got up ; and strained his eyes over the prairie, but all looked dreary and strange. lie balanced a stick on end, and determined to go the way it fell. l!ut there was no luck in the sign, 1 and he started off in the wrong direc ' tion, as lefore. He walked all that : day, going he knew not whither, to sink l down at night in another weary sleep A Story of f be Remarkable Experience Mrs. Alonro Dai Is. The drunkard in question, Mr. Alonzo B. Davis, has been in the active exercise of his profession for nearly ten years, and is universally regarded as the most energetic ard accomplished drunkard in Potts county, Indiana. He has been in the constant habit of returning to his house, at about midnight, In an advan ced stage of drunkenness for several years, and during the seventeen months preoeeding the 4th of January, IS-ho, "0t never lost a single night by sobriety, y Mrs. Davis is a most estimable and ami- v able woman, and in spite of her huslian's disgraceful conduct has steadily clung to him. Night after night she sat np for the elegraele-el man in order to help him up stairs and to take off his hoots. With the self resject of a true woman she never allowed him to treat her with violence, but promptly knccked him down w ith a baseball club whenever he showed symptoms of muscular brutality. A more tender, long suffering, and de voted wife a man never had, and yet Mr. Davis requited her kindness by con tinuing to live where there were a river a railroad, three buzz-saws, and any quantity of kerosene in the town, with the aid of which he might at any mo ment have had a fatal arid ieneficent ac cident. On the night of the 4th ef January Mrs. Davis was as usual, sitting up in her bedroom and waiting for her wretch ed husband. It was nearly 11 o'clock. The night was cold, and the candle was almost burned out. In the corner stod the base-ball club ready to le used in case of necessity, and on the mantel piece the eight day clock drowsily ticked away the waning hours. Tired Mrs. Davis herself crew drowsy, and when a loud ring at the front-door bell aroused her, she found that she had fallen asleep anel that the candle w as out. Without waiting to light another can dle, the faithful wife felt her way down stairs, opened the door and admitted the drunkard. He was even more drunk tluin usual, for he could not articulate a single word. Mrs. Davis had immense difficulty in assisting him down Ptairs for he insisted on sitting down en every separate step and falling asleep. There were twenty-two steps in all, and it took three quarters of an hour to get him to the top of the stairs, down which he promptly fell again. Xc.thing, how ' ever, can exhaust the patiriifeof a good j woman, and aliont 12:30 Mrs. succeeded in bringing her charge iuto the bedroom and placing him on the sofa, where he j instantly and in'rmancntly went to sleep, f In the circumstance's, she lesolved to and thus avoid the trouble of lighting a candle. So site loosed his collar, drew off his boots, placed a stick of wood under bis head, arjd inserted a piece of soap in his mouth asa hint to him to stop snoring. Hav ing: thus made him comfortable for the night, she went about to prepare herself for l'd, when the front door was opened witb a latch-key, and a man sprang hast'ly up stairs and rushed into the room. Mrs. Davis, leing a woman of much presence of fmind, screamed fire'.v hastily lit the candle, so that tr.Uher ne ami .imu -ime mn rieu. : 0u tliP sc.Co!:d dav he crept near enough Moiiy, on her part, encountcrc-l .1 i:n : ro a i,er.l of buffaloes, to fire one shot, , . i. . i , . . i.

This, in fact, proved to be the case. The lunatic must have been lurking in fhe church when I entered it. With the restlessness or an. infirm brain, he had wandered alxut. miiricking the attitudes of the quiit eiligics around, ami it was while thus posing for a cru s.uler that he first attracted my atten tion.

I have little doubt I owe my lift to the providential entry of the party without, who heard my screams and the lunatic's yell, and rushed in just as he , clutched me.

In a verv short time the tire was replenished and i some venison roasted, and John made a hearty meal, i The kind Indian 'ex.k him to his camp and kepi him till he was strong -The signing the pledge?"' Mrs. Davis felt that her cup was full. In the darkness of the night, and trusting implicitly lo to the habitual drunkenness of her hus band, she had innocently taken the wrong drunkard to h.'-r nom. and now her cruel husband had betraved her con fidence by actually venturing to come home soler at the most inopjvrtune mo ment xssible. The probability is that Hie !oor tvo in,in will be sert home in disgrace te her mother. Mr. Davis assumes to regard himself in tin-. light of a betrayed and wronged husb..nd, and refuses lo accept Mrs. Davis's explanation. She now feels that the vrwnins cruelty of his constant elrrmkerjns, he should sud denly and 'without any warning come home sober, was indeed a refinement of cruelty of w hich oitly the most hardened man could be guilty.

We have tried clay and ordinary dirt, l.ut they did not prove satis factory.

Sand and even sawdust have been recommended, but a they were clearly not liesiniblo, we never tried either. We began with plank-flooring, were dissuad ed from using it. but have returned to it and found it preferable to the others. Wc prefer ! hemlock toanvthing we have ever used, take ' a louo!e two-jnch plank, with the front part ! kept well covered with straw at all times for ' the forefeet, and at nights to be weH'oodded . with straight rve-straw.

Hut wh;-re these arrangements have not been made, a cover ing of sifted coal ashes on the floeir will pre vent slipping.
