THE 'WEIOHT OF A WOBDu
Hare yoa ever thought of the weight of a
word
That falla in the heart Like the aong of a
bird.
That glaJ'len the apriogume of memory
and youth.
And garland with cedar the banner of
Truth,
That moiatf n the harreating apot of the
brain
Like dewdropa that fall on a meadow of
grain.
Or that ihrivelt the germ lad dettroyt the
fruit
And lie like a worm at the liialeaa root?
I saw a farmer at break of day
H -iag his corn in a careful way;
An eurniy camo with a drouth in hi eye,
l'mcouraged the worker and hurried by.
The keen-edged blade of the faithful hoe
1 lulled on the earth iu the long corn row ;
The wveds aprung up and their leather
tossed
Orer the field, and the crop was lost.
A aailor launched" on an angry bay
When thv heaven entombed the face of the
day ;
The wind arose like a beaat in pain,
Au J ahook on the Lillowa hi yellow mane ;
The storm beat down an if curat-J the cloud.
And the wavca held up a dripping shroud
But, hark ! o'ur the watnr that wildly rave J
Came a word of cheer, and he waa-aAvcd.
A poet passed with a song of God
Hid in his heart like a gum in a clod;
Ilia .lipa were framed to pronounce the
thought.
And the niuaic of rhythm it magic wrought ;
i'eublo at first was thu happy trill.
Low wa tlu$ echo that auawerod the hill.
But a jealous lrieuj apoko near hi side.
And on hia lips the sweet aong died.
A woman pansed where a chandelier
Threw in the darkness its poisoned spear ;
Weary and fooluore from journeying long,
' hhe had strayed unawares from the right tJ
the wrong.
Angels were bvek'ning her back from the
d.n.
Hell and it demons were beck'ning her in ;
The tone of an urchin, like one w ho forgives.
Drew her back, and in heaven that sweet
word lives.
Words ! Words 1 They are little, yet
mighty and brave ;
They rescue a nation, au empire save
They close up tho gaps iu a fresh bleeding
heart
That sickness and sorrow have sevened
apart.
They fall on the path, like a ray of the sun.
Whore the shadows of death lay eo heavy
upon ;
They l;ght--n the earth ever our blessed dead,
A word that will comfort, oh 1 loavo not un
euid. MARY'S "DOUBLE.
It was a pleasant Juno morning In
Bailen-lladuii.
Ri-turiiiiii; to her hotel at precisely
eiLiht o'clock, after her niorninir " con
stitutional," Ml.-.H Mariana Robinson
caUinJ at room thirty-two to see Miss
Niitss for a moment, and then she would
pi out ami rout tho lazy girls Miss
Rhodes and Miss Thurston and make
tin-in no to breakfast w ith her.
The threo pirls were spending a year
In (rtiiaiiy. btii'lvint; and traveling
iimler the rare of their friend and former
teacher. Miss Ni.ass. They had lxen
ahroHd since October. For a month they
hut! been staying at tho Hotel Vic
toria in Batleii-Iiailen. and for a week
Mis-t NiHss had been quite ill, and con
liie to her room.
As Mariana onteretl MissXiass's room,
tho latter looked at her with evident
anxiety, and said :
' I was wishing very much to eoe you.
Ilere Is a cable dispatch, which 1 have
Just received from your father."
It was directed to Miss Mary Robin
Son. Hotel Victoria, Baden-Baden,' and
was as follows :
'Come home Immediately. ITavo
secured state-room fur you on the Abys
binia, leaving Liverpool the 10th.
J. Robixsox."
"What can It mean?" said Mariana.
"I cannot understand It. If any of
them arn sick, or anything, it would
have been so much U-tter to have told
me plainly than to put me in tujense."
One thing was clear: her passuge was
engaged on th Abyssinia fur the P'th.
and on the Aiy.-sinia she mui-t go. This
was the t'.th. and no time was to bo lost.
"You will have to take the ten o'clock
train to t'arlsruho. Mary," said Miss
Niass, "ami there you ean connect
through to A 'ologne to-night- You hare
nt houraii'l three-quarters to get ready."
After sending Mariana to Iter breakfast.
Miss Nia s called the landlord.
" You ap sure," asked MKs Niass. a
mi ldvii thoturht striking her. that there
is no other Miss Robiusou in the hotel?"
" Yes. madam, there Is no other per
son by that name. The letters to Miss
Robinson nro sometimes addressed to
Miss Mary and at other times to Miss
Mariana Robinson. This I have ob
served. I suppose It Is all ono name."
" Yes." replied the lady, and remem
bered as she spoke that Mr. Robiusou
alwavs walled his daughter Mary.
With a heavy heart Mariana traveled
all the long day. She reached Cologne
after dark. The next day's journey
brought her to Antwerp. Her cab stop
ped at, a stone curbing which extended
the length of the street; beyond it was
a confusion of shipping, horses, drays,
freight, and the like; on tho other tide
blank warehouses.
Mariana looked out anxiously. She
alighted and gave the driver two
or three coins. At this he seemed
to become very angry, put the money
back In ber hand, and blarted to get
!ack on the box, as if he Intended
driving off with her trunk.
Mademoiselle, can I be of any assist
ance to you ?" said a voice In French.
Mariana turned and saw a gentleman
6tanding at her side.
She explained to the stranger that ehe
wanted to find the steamer that was to
start for Harwich in half an hour, and
that she could not understand a word
tho driver said, and that he would not
take the money she offered him.
The gentleman called the driver, who
came up, looking sheepba and mortified.
He talked with him a moment, and then,
turning to Mariana, said :
"The fellow says It was Rhenish
money. He can get it exchanged. I am
going to the same steamer, and will show
you the war."
Mariana followed him. and the driver
brought up the rear with her trunk.
Under the careof hcrnew friend. Marl
ana passed through the ordeal of the
Harwich custom-house quickly, and
inade the trip to London without anxk'tr.
After seeing her safe in a cab, and di
recting the driver to take her to the
Langham Hotel, he bowed his most
oousteous adieu, and Mariana drove
away with a little feeling of regret that
she had seen tho last of him.
The morning of the 10th she went to
Liverpool, and In the afternoon 6he went
on lioard the steamer.
They weighed anchor at aunset. Mart
ana wa standing at the vessel's stein.
Turning, her attention was arrested by a
glimpse of a gentleman pacing the quarter-deck
alone.
It was the French gentleman who had
showu her politeness on her Journey.
She started toward the hatchway and
met him. Recognizing her. hU face
lighted up with unaffected pleasure.
From that moment the two were
"good eoiurados."
On the fifth day out from Liverpool.
Count de Rochefor.tln that was the gen
Ueuiwu'o name and title came to ber &
she sat on deck, and remarking In Eug
llsh :
I have something to show you. Mees
Robinson." he handed her a photograph
of a girl of her own age.
Mariana looked long and steadily at
the picture, half fascinated by it. the
count meanwhile standing at Iter side
scanning her face with pride ami eager
ness In his own. Finally he exclaittie.1 :
A' A fuel..' And what is it t .at you
will say iu regard to that portrait?"
"It "l-i exquisitely lovely." said Marl
ana, still looking at the portrait.
.VY.tf-cr ;7" ho cried, forgetting his
English, and theu with a truly French
gesture be added : " Ah, mademoiselle,
it is the lady of my heart."
Mariana had an ofeu heart for a love
fctorv. ami in a few words ot cordial In
terest drew out that of L litH.ii . foiiiin.
The young lady who. tt range u say,
was, like herself, named Mary Robinson,
had lieen for a year in Taris. The Count
had a few mouths ago offered his baud
to her in marriage.
Mr willing to give it. but on writ
ing t j h r parents in America they made
strong oi jections apparently for the
bole reason that he was a foreigner.
Seveial haters had passed back and
forth with no satisfactory result, and he
had finally determined to go to America
and plead" his owu cause.
He had been obliged to go to his cha
teau in Normandy for several weeks lie
fore embarking, and Misa Robiusou had
joined friends with whom the was to
travel.
It seemed to be a great affliction to
him that he could not know her exact
whereabouts. The plans of the people
with whom she was to travel were not
fullv made, and all his letters had to be
addressed to her Paris bankers and for
warded by them.
Mariana asked lf the young lady's
father knew that te waa coinlnt; to
America.
Ah. no, mademoiselle, it Is a secret
most profound. I am Informed that he
Is a gentleman of slightly eccentric tem
per, and it would not be best tj excite
him beforehand. More than that, he
might see fit to be away from home. lie
resides ia New York."
Seeing the man as she did every day
and all day long. Mariana had a flue op
portunity of studying his character. He
seemed to her a high-bred, cultivated
gentleman, of singular simplicity and
honesty of eharactcr, and that he was
thoroughly In love was beyond question.
Having formed this opinion of the
man, and being strongly Interested in hia
mission to America, Mariana determined
to do all in her ower to favor It.
When tb Abyssinia anchored in New
York harlior. Count de Rochefontin pro
posed that she should wait on the steam
er while tiie tugUiat made its fir.-t trip
to the dock, and he would go and find
her father, and bring him back with him
to the steamer. In that way she would
have a chance for a little quiet talk alono
on first seeing him. instead of meeting
him in all the noise and confusion of the
dock and Custom House.
Count de Rochefontin, on landing from
the tug. stationed himself near the lino
of waiting friends, watching them nar
rowly for Mr. Robinson.
His eye soon fell upon a stout elderly
gentleman in light gray clothes. He
wore a heavy gray mustache, and had an
Important, business-like air.
He was evidently on the alert to see a
friend among the passengers, ami begin
ning to knit his heavy eyebrows and
grow very red when, the tug having
landed all her passengers, the person ho
exjiected did not apjiear.
The second officer of the Abyssinia had
landed, ami Oo Rochefontin heard the
old gentleman say to him :
Young lady by the name of Robinson
on the Imat, sir?
This was enough. De Rochefontin
advanced ; and, as Mariana had told him
that her father did not understand
French, said, in the best English ho
couM command, bowing very low as bo
spoke:
"Allow me, monsieur. Mademoiselle,
your daughter, remains upon ze ship."
"Heh?" The old gentleman glared
rather fiercely at Ie Rochefontin, who
bowed courteously and remarked :
"Miss Robinson waits lor you on the
ship, luotii-ieur. She is slightly discom
jxised at the prospect of seeing you."
" Oh, she is," interrupted the other.
Well. I should thing she ought to be;"
ami he laughed with a deep and nut Very
mirthful "haw, haw, haw."
The tug was now ready to return to
the steamer, and the two gentlemoa
stepped aboard.
Who are you. anyhow, sir?" asked
Mr. Robinson, facing about abruptly
upon his companion.
Ie Rochefontin handed him his card.
The old gentleman grew veiy red and
exclaimed :
Theodore de Rochefontin ! What,
you are the man who wants to marry my
daughter?"
"Ah no. monsieur, pardon me, I haf
not that honor. Mademoiselle, your
daughter. Is a young lady very amiable.
I admire, oh. very well; but my heart,
monsieur, he belongs to another," and
De Rochefontin bowed again.
" It does? Then what In tho namo
of wonder are you traveling around with
my daughter for, sir? I demand an ex
planation !"
" I make the journey with mademoi
selle simply as a coniptignnn de voyage."
" Now. see hero, young man, your name
is Theodore de Rochefontin, and you
belong to the Bourbon nnUette, what
ever that Is, and own a chateau In Nor
mandy, don't you? and you're the soul
of honor and chivalry, aren't you? Hold
on ! I believe I've got the inventory of
your attractions right here;" and ho
began taking a handful of lettexs out ot
bis pocket.
Mais, nvmsiewt that affair becomes
now hopeless ; let us, de bonne grace, I
pray you, advise mademoiselle your
daughter with it."
They now stepped on board tho Abys
sinia. Mariana was waiting for them "on
deck, pale and ai.i:ous.
Void, mnnsirur! mademoiselle, your
daughter, will make right all that affair."
" My daughter!" exclaimed the old
gentleman, staring at Mariana. "Never
saw the young lady in my life !"
This is not my father," said Mariana.
My name is Robinson," declared tho
old gentleman. "James Robinson, of
the firm of Robinson and Sliarpe, wool
brokers. New York City."
And mine Is Mariana Robinson, ot
Mamaroneck," exclaimed the girl. "My
father's name Is Joseph Robinson; he is
a lawyer."
Know him well know h'm well,"
said Mr. Robinson cheerfully, but X
didn't see him on the dock."
" I received a telegram from him two
weeks ago telling me to come home by
this steamer. I cannot understand his
not meeting me."
You received that telegram ! Flow
In the world did that happen? I sent it
to Drexels, In Paris, to be forwarded to
Mary. She was to keep them informed
of her movements."
" They must have expected her to be
at the Hotel Victoria, in Baden, the f.th
of June." said Maiiana half sorrowfully;
" for they sent the dispatch there, and
as I was the only Mary Robinson at tho
hotel, and as the dispatch was dated New
York father would of course go to New
York to telegraph to me I never dreamed
of Its being for any one but me. So I
have taken this Journey all for nothing !"
Well, well." said Mr. Robinson, 1 11
take you out to Mamaroneck this after
noon. I ordered my daughter to come
borne because in her last letter 6he got
pretty Independent about &onie French
adventurer she'd taken It In ber bead tc
marry fellow'6 name same as this."
iid is tie gentleman to whoa jour
daughter is engaged, and he has crossed
the oceau simply to bog you to recon
sider your difisii'n."
" Thea he e&u cross back again double
quick." suid the old gentleman.
Mariana eaw that she now held the
matter In ber own bands to a great
extent.
At a word from her De Rochefontin
walked away, leaving her alone with Mr.

The tobacco habit bas many curious
phases, and the conllict between e erts
and authorities as to its effects bas cre
ate 1 considerable conf uslou in the pub

Some physicians dec'are that the wee I
is a poison, while others, equally as
worthy of belief, declare that it is a med

excessive us s is calculated to injuie

by the following trout the Athens Carou

the use ot tobacc j at fourteen years of

CHEERFUL IN UTTEB DARKNESS.
Some Note Taken at a Tarty of lilind
1'eople.
I may be wrong, but It appeared to me
that the most cheerful of our b.ind party
were those who were born so, or bad
lost their sight at an sge too early to
have any remembrance of seeing.
I came on one sucli, a middle-aged
man. who, being a widower, had brought
Ins young son. about 10 years old, with
him. io act as his guide.
He was silting on a gate, with his face
toward the fields, and the boy was squat
ting on the grass. The blind man was
bincing.
No doubt on account of Its aiproprl
ateness to the occ-s:ou. tho song of his
choice was tho " Warbling Wagoner,"
and dangling his legs in the lightness of
his spirits ho sang it loud and hearty,
iiis sou not joining in except to help with
the chorus.
He was singing tho last verse as I
came near, and at its conclusion I ap
plauded the iierformance, wlieieon ho
laughed, and, slapping his thigh, called
to his son for the chotu over again for
the last time, and tuls being accom
plished he put out his band to give mino
tbe grasp of friendship.
Goodness knows how he discovered It,
but at first touch with his fingers ho
found out that I was not blind.
"I beg pardon, sir," said he; I
thought it was one of our own people I
was singing and laughing with. But It
is a poor heart that never rejoices, and
you. having your precious oyeslgat,
won't be offended wltn us, I know."
" I am only too glad," I leplied, that
you find yourself to-day with a rich
heart in piace ot a poor one, and that
you can rejoice."
" Well, 1 should be a pretty ungrateful
eort of a ctiap if I didn't. It's fairly
beautiful. That's how I reckon it up,
master, and 1 can't say more than that."
And ho raied himself a bit higher on
the gate, and slowly turned his head
this way and that, loudly sniffing the
while, and finishing up with a bounding
biuaCk. of ..is lip6.
"Its de dcious!" 6aid he.
" But you can't see it," 1 remarked.
" But I can smell it," he responded
cheerily and with ano h-r prolonged
sniff, "and 1 can taste it- I can't see ; I
never could. But, thank the Lord, I've
got my sense of smelling aud tasting
and rearing ; and I'll make out with
them It you'll bring me in o the country
to enjoy myself a bit. And. as for eyes,
hain't my boy Ben here got two ot 'em.
and sharp ones, too. And, in a mauner
of speaking, I can borrow them whenever
I want to ; so I hain't got much to grum
ble about."
I don't know bow it is, but it would
seem that when a person lose his ycs

Remarkable Interest attaches to the
discovery. In Kings. on, N. Y.. of a bun
dle of letters addressed by Aaron Burr
to Peter Van Gaastieek, of tnat city.
One of the let.ers throws light upon the
notable contest lor the Presidency be
tween Burr and Jefferson In ImJI. when
the matter of choice was thrown iu the
House of Representatives.
It was claimed by Burr, after Jeffer
son had been chosen President, t . at i. ho
bad had au equal number of votes Willi
Jefferson he would have uiteily dis
claimed all competition, as he ha 1 i.o
desire to be instrumental In counteract
ing the wishes and expectations of the
people of the United Statos. T: e-e
bentiments were f. r the pul l c.
The other bide appears from a lett r.
upon the back of which was wr.tten,
Private Instructions," which 6hows
thut, secretly, he had other uesigns.
Peter Van Gaa.-b.-ek was a pol.ticinn
of cousi .eraliie influence. He was a
member of Congre s. Tho "Pi irate
Instructions " In Burr's handwriting,
read as follows :
From the returns In Pennsylvania It
is certaiu ti.at Adams cannot be elected.
The President, and Vice-President must
therefore be takeu fiom Jefferson, l'.uuk
ney, and Burr. Six or seveu votes tor
Burr in tli.s State w.ll make him Presi
dent, whether intended tor him as Pres
ident or Vice-President.
" You know, I suppose, that no dis
tinction Can bd made by the Electors.
They tote for two men without declar
ing the offices for which they intend
them.
" You see how important and critical
the thing is, and must therefore spare
no pains. It will be surprising, indeed,
lf you, Addison Vivier, an 1 others can
not influence Miller and Cantiue bo far
as to induce them to do what isrigh..
Burr must be spoken of, however, only
as Vice-President tor the present,
' ThU caution must not bo neglected
for cogent reasons, which will iu due
time be coiumunicate'd. Somebody must
Confer with Miller and Cantino i erson
ally and without delay."
With tho "Private Instructions" was
found a paper containing a sort of
cipher, by which letters of the alphabet
were to be used to Indicate certain
names. It reads as follows :

Burr then adds :

when you wisti it to be concealed that
you are the Person in Question, W A X,

The paper also has evidence of having
been written with invisible ink," which
could only be made legible by being
brought out by heat. The writing can
not now bo read easily after the lapse of
so many years. It is all in the hand
writing of Burr.
Major Van Gaasbeek Is mentioned in
one of the letters written by Mrs. Burr
to her husband from New York, in 17K1,
in this way :
"Neither the package you left at
Kingston nor the money and great coat
by Colonel Gausbeck have yet reached
me."
Burr. In his letters to his wife, during
those days when he traveled on the cir
cuit of the courts at Poughkeepsie,
Albany, Cats kill, and Kingston, speaks
ot Kingston often.
In one of his letters, written at Pough
keepsie in 17bb, to Mrs. Burr, he said :
I go, this evening, to Rhinebeck.
Y'ou can write lue by Monday's stage,
ttirected to b-j forwarded to me from
Kniuelietk. I shall be then at Kingston.
Much love to the smiling liitle girl."
The little girl " wa his daughter,
Theodosia.
Burr's correspondence with Van Gaas
beek was mostly regarding money mat
ters. In nearly all his letters he SeakB
of pecuniary embarrai-smente. In one
letter, in 17y3, he wrote to Peter Van
Oaasbeek, that he 'Burr) must decline
the nomination, that ho (Van Gaasbeek)
must inform the committee, and that
" 1 shall bear a lasting remembrance of
this instance ot their confidence and
attachment."
In this connection, as a matter of in
terest In the history ot Kingston, it
might be said Burr refers, in one ot bis
letters to hie wife, to Vauderlyn.
John Vanderiyn, who became cele
brated as a painter, was a protege of
Burr. Vanderiyn was a resident of
Kingston, ami Burr having seen several
of his sketches, became interested la
him, whieh resulted In Vanderlyn's
going to Europe to study painting.
In a letter, written iu New York, 1801.
to Thomos Morris, Burr said :
"Mr. Vanderiyn, the young painter
from Esopus, Ulster County, who went
about six years ago to Paris, has re
cently returned, having improved bis
time and talent in a manner that does
very great honor to himself, his friends,
and his country.
Proposing to return to France in the
ring, he wishes to take with him some
American views, and lor this purpose he
Is now on his way through your country
to Niagara, I beg your advice and pro
tection. lie is a perfect stranger to the roads,
the country, and the customs of the
people, and. In short, knows nothing but
what immediately concerns painting.
From some samples which he has left
here he is pronounced to be the firtt
painter that now is or ever has been in
America.

A quotation, not much known, from
tbe works of Robert Hooke, published
In 1CC4, would seem to show that the tel

as is generally thought. Hooke says :

A. tVessoa for Mudi Kodnrli.f Heads of
Household.
Only recently I was obliged to have a
change of administration In tbe culinary
department.
It had long been a question in my
mind who was running the house, my
self or the cook.
I couldn't exactly satisfy myself, but
Concluded, that as I paid the rent, I had
a right, to al least a voice In the matter.
So I went down stairs, and consulted
the cook herself on the subject.
She seemed greatly offended at what I
could not help considering my lmpertl
tence. So 1 discharged her on the spot,
fearing that if I did not, ehe mi'ht dis
miss me. She would, no doubt, feel sore
and die ipiointed, though, lf she knew
that the silver on the spoons she took
with her is only skin deep.
But It Is not with the ex-steak de
stroyer that this has to do. It is with
her successor, who arrived a day or two
later.
She was one of the most high-toned
women I ever saw. I felt small and
mean when obliged to ask her to perform
a menial M-rvice. She see me 1 like one
born to govern a kitchen a mile long,
and to ride up and .down the same on
horseback, and give orders with a large
waving soon.
bho seemed so superior In every way,
that I feit it necessary tor my general
h.ippine-s to ascertain her limitations.
So I said to her, on the day ehe ar
rived: Can you make soup?"
"Oh. yes," she replied.
What kind?"
' Every kind," ehe replied.
"Can you make mulligatawny?
Never h-ard ot it," she said.
Can you make a bisque ot crab 71
What's that?"
Without replying, I asked :
Can you make lobster croquettes a
la Kalamazoo?"
She seemed dazed.
" How are you ontailr6ruauzrtam
jiignrmt She replied not, but looked as though
she had been hit with the tall of a cy
clone. She seemed overcome with
grief, and every moment I exjected to
see her wilt like a paper shirt-trout In a
thunder-shower.
" S .p; ose I should ask you to get me

although animals ot the larger types are
present, there is no great variety of form

chiefly a red clay niUed with fragments

To Capture Pralrt Dogs.
A prairie dog trap is ingenious. Flace
a headless barrel over the prairie dog's
hole and half rill It with fine 6and. The
little borrower w 111 soon scratch his way
to the top of the sau.e. But the tine
sand falls Into the hole and tills it up
and it cannot dig another through the
half fluid particles, neither can he climb
up the slues of the barrel. All be can
do is to reverse the familiar lines of
Virgil and exclaim :
The ascent to the upper air Is easy,
but to recall one's steps and ro-enter
