Together we shall happy be.
Thou art too good on earth to stay.

A TJnitod Stntoa Signal - Service
Man's Thrilling Talx
I bad boon in tho signal service but
little over a year, says a writer in the
New York Sun, when I was sent to
I'iko's IVak, which is considered by tho
men in tho service as tho most disa
preeable station in the whole country.
In summer it is not so bad, when there
are numerous visitors up every day
from Colorado Springs and the weather
is comparatively pleasant. Hut from
the middle of October until about tho
middlo of April it is very different.
Then it is almost impossible to pet
either up or down the mountains, and
tho only communication with tho out
side world is by wire. Ono man takes
charge of the station in summer and two
in winter. My duties wero to begin
with tho winter season. I reached the
station the first day of October, where I
found my companion for tho winter
awaiting' mo. .His uarao was Harry
Sands. lie was a good -looking-, bright,
jovial fellow from somewhere down in
Maino. He was fully six feet tall, with
a physique that seemed to bid defianco
to fatigue and exposure. If any ono
had told mo then that he would bo tho
first to succumb to tho rigors of that
terrible winter I -should have laughed
at tho idea, for I was at that time by no
moans robust and unaccustomed to hard
ships of any kind.
Tho station is located just a littlo be
low the extreme top of the peak. It is
a low, one-story log building about
twenty feet square. Around it on three
sides is stacked at that season, almost
as high as tho cabin itself, tho supply
of wood for tho winter. To keep tho
roof from being blown off rocks are laid
upon it in different places, and two im
mense chains are strung across and fast
ened to the ground at either side. The
interior is divided into two rooms by a
rough board partition. In the larger
one the men cat, sleep and do their
work. Tho other is used as a store
room. '1 ho weather dil not begin to get very
cold that jear until about IleccmUr I.
It kept getting colder and colder until
ono morning between Christmas and
Xew Year's tho thermometer registered
sixty degrees It low zero a spirit thor
ite meter, of course. It was so cold that
in sr.ito of all wc could do tho water
would freeze an inch or more in the
ctbin every night. So high was the
wind and blinding the snow-storms that
often for a week at a time wo were un
able to go outside to take observations.
One morning the latter part of Janu
ary Harry got up looking very pale. Ho
would not eat any breakfast, and beforo
dinner-time he was back in bed again,
complaining of a terrible headache, liy
evening he was In a raging fever. So
delirious did ho become that at times
it was as much as I could do to hold
him in bed. I gave him such medicine
as I thought ho needed; and many an
hour 1 spent poring over tho book of in
structions accompanying tho chest in
search of a proper remedy. Uttt nothing
I gave him seemed to do him any good.
Ore day early in February 1 went out
side to remove some sticks of wood tho
wind had blown against the door. I left
Harry sleeping soundly, and, I thought,
more naturally than at any time during
his sickness. Returning a few minutes
later, I found him sitting in front of
the telegraph instrument with his hand
upon the key. Hut the effort bad evi
dently been too much for him; his head
lay upon his chest, and he was trembling
all over with weakness. I had hardly
got him back to bed when ho began to
sink rapidly, and in less than half an
hour he was dead. As soon as I had re
covered a little from tho shock I started
to telegraph tho news to Colorado
Springs. I gave the customary signal
upon the key, but received no answer;
I ropeatod it, still no answer. I
thought it very strange. I knew tho
operator at Colorado Springs was al
ways In his ofJico at that hour. Again
and again I tried, but with no better
success. I mado a careful examination
of the Instrument, tho batteries and all
connected with it, but could find noth
ing wrong. Then came tho awful
thought: "The w ire was down or broken
somewhere in tho mountains." It was
not long before I was compelled to ad
mit that such must be tho case. Jury
ing my face in my hands, I wept liko a
child. Tho prospect certainly was a
terrible ono. Tho probability was I
should bo cut off from all communica
tion with tho world for two full months
or more.
The next morning I wrapped up
Harry's body in a couple of blankets
and buried it a few yards from tho
cabin, among tho rocks in a protected
part of the peak. My loneliness then
began in earnest. Such days and nights
as I put in! My only diversion was
reading and taking observations. Kvery
day at tho customary hour I would try
tho telegraph instrument, hoping that
communication migat possibly have
boon ro-establishod. Every day tho
same disappointment. My great fear
was that I should lose my reason.
One night about three weeks after
Harry's death I was wakened up by what
sounded liko tho distant howling of
some wild animals. I'or a moment or
two the sound was lost. Then it re
turned louder than ever. TLe next min-
'HI IS FUSKMAN WHOM TIB THOTH
E BENS BURG, PA.,
uto I remembered one of the men in tho
service telling mo when he heard I was
going to liko's Peak to look out for the
coyotes. Coyotes aro somewhat smaller
than the ordinary wolf, and aro called
by many people barking wolves, owing
to the peculiar nature of their cries. I
bad never heard them before. My
opinion was that tho keen-nosed brutes
had scented Harry's body, and had come
to devour it. Instead of stopping at the
placo where Harry was buried, they
mado a boo-lino for tho cabin. A serie.s
of most diabolical yells announce! their
arrival. Then I heard tiOLuething
thump, thump against tho cabin door.
The door was a strong oak one, and, I
felt confident, would resist any effort
they could make. However, to make it
doubly secure I pushed two great heavy
government chests against it. Suddenly
their howls ceased- Hreathlcssly I
awaited developments. So long did tho
silenco continue that 1 began to think
that they had taken their departure. Uut
I was mistaken, I soon heard them upon
tho roof. Uefore 1 had time to recover
from my astonishment at this change
in their tactics I heard one of the rocks
that held down tho roof roll off to tha
ground. Terror-stricken, I jumped to
my feet, believing pothing now would
keep them out. It they could roll off
ono of those rocks tho boards of tho
roof would be nothing them. I picked
up a gun that hung upon the wall, and
raised it toward tho roof. Soon I saw
ono of tho boards begin to move; but a
littlo at first, then more and more until
tho starlight was plainly visible through
the crack. Then it was suddenly
wrenched from its place, and a dark ob
ject appeared in tho aperture. I fired.
The same moment I was dashed violent
ly to the floor by something heavy com
ing from tho direction of tho roof. The
next thing I remembered was finding
myself lying upon tho bed. To my sur
prise I saw tho cabin door was open, and
the sunlight streaming in. I started to
get up, but fell back exhausted. Won
dering what could bo the matter, I made
another attempt. As I did so ray heart
almost stood still at tho sight of a man
standing in tho doorway. Could I bo.
dreaming? I rubbed my eyes tremb
lingly with my hands. The man, ap
parently divining my thoughts, said:
"Don't bo ufearod; it ain't no ghost,
but it might have been if you'd shot
mo that night, as you tried to."
"Shot you?" I gasped.
"Yes. shot me," repeated the man;
"and if I hadn't thrown you to tho floor
when I did you'd a shot me tho second
time."
"Uut the coyotes?" I asked.
"Coyotes," repeated tho man in
amazement; "what do you mean?"
I told him tny story. He laughed
heartily.
"It warn't no coyotes. or nothin' as
you heard. It war me and the other
follows a-hollerin'. You see, wo busted
both our lamps, and wo wero a-hollerin
for you to make somo light so we could
see whero the cabin war. You see, you
war clean out of your head with tho
fever, and you 'magined all them
things." Ho then told mo that I had
been lying ill with a fever ever since
that night, some three weeks in all,
and that I had been delirious tho whole
time. Whilo ho was still talking two
other men came into the cabin.
"That's a nice way to bo a-treatin
people as is sent to your rescue," spoke
up ono of them. "An! after bein
nearly frozen to death on tho way,"
added the other one.
"My rescue? What do you mean?" I
inquired, not a little puzzled.
"Ain't your name Harry?" asked tho
first speaker.
"No," I said, "it isn't."
They all locked at ono another
strangely. Then tho same man said:
"Why, on tho 5th day of February a tel
egram came from a manupherea-sayin
that the fellow as war a-stayin" with
him had got lost, and Lisielf war
a-dyinV
"February 5," T thought. "It was the
day Harry died." In a moment I saw
through it alL Harry's business at the
telegraph instrument that mornin? was
explained. Getting awake while 1 was
taking away tho wood from tho doir,
and not seeing mo, he had thought in
bis delirium I was lost; henco his mes
sage to Colorado Spring1. It is still a
matter of wonder to tho people out iherc
how tho rescuing party ever grot up the
mountain. It was a feat never attempt
ed, much less accomplished, at that sea
son of tho year.
Some time af.ertvarl I tm'l tho mai
who had told niw about the coyotes. Ho
laughed heartily whon I related my ex
perience, lie said what ho had meant
by coyotes were tho fleas that fairly
swarmed up thero at certain seasons of
the year. They wore so big and bit so
hard that the men in the service nick
named theni "coyotes."

Origin or Bird Song
The origin of bird song is described
by an English writer as follows: "Iiird
song originated in a cry produced by
bodily contortion. This cry was devel
oped by use in times of danger It then
became a warning-noto that was elabor
ated into a call-note. This note was re
peated by males in varied tone and
pitch, and several influences tended to
make it a reproduction of surrounding
persistent sounds. The call-notes were
repeated by the males to tho females,
and in this manner arbitrary phrases
were constructed. Further efforts on
the part of tho males induced greater
variety, which took the form of imita
tion of other sounds."

There Is no (Jew upon the lawn.

The elouds of ere are passed away.
And. all the night's chilling vapors gone.
From ont the pleasant orchard grove
The voice of siiirdnF birds arise;
1 looked, and lo ! bffore my eyes
The whole -wide wurid did blaze with love.
A voice of sweetest music came,
I trow in Heaven it bad Its birth;
It was not as the sounds of earth
And wrapped my spirit as with flame.
Oh soul, methouirht it cried, awake 1
No longer nurse the peevish night
Of blh:d unfiuth ; of secret hate.
SliU trust in providence, not fate;
See. sec, the outward sun shines bright.
Awake, oh soul, tho morn doth break.
Awake to nobler thoughts of life.
Awake to deeper faith in man;
Be rood, be true, bo beautiful.
Be ono with love, and dutifnl
In alL Thy life la but a span?

3IYSTEKY OF A DREA3L
Waa
It a Vision That Brought
Jaspor to Ela Senses?
I am about to write the story of tho
ono great mystery of my life. I have
told tho story to many people, but,
with ono exception, they have all
looked very incredulous. Many shook
their heads, and not a few acted as if
they thought mo a triflo domented.
There is one, however, who is now sit
ting near tho table at which I am writ
ing, that believes my story implicitly.
Indeed, Ediena, my darlingwife, knows
full well that tho story which 1 am
about to write is true.
I can not tell when the knowledge
that I loved Ediena Wyldmero was first
revealed to me. Wo wero children
together, and as wo grow older wo
seemed liko brother and sister. Even
then sho was all the world to mo. r.nd
bow dear I was to her, her own sweet
lips havo told mo more than a hundred
times.- Our joys and sorrows wero
shared together. As happy, thought
less children, we romped and lau.gl.ed.
and many a time we mingled our tears
in childish grief. As tho years rolled
away, our affection for each other grew
steadily stronger and deeper.
At nineteen Ediena was as fair and
puro as the most spotless thing unJor
the sun. I almost worshiped Lor than,
but I was still young and no thoughts
of marriage had entered my h'-zl. So
beautiful amailen could r.ot lon-r avoid
attracting r:dmiring suitors, and among
those who flocked arjur.d her was ono
Cyril Slaythorne, the tall, proud, aristo
cratic master of Staythorno Hall, which
had been left him at the death of Lis
wealthy father.
I do not deny that I soon grew ;oalous
of many of these f.uvning and flatter
ing suitors, and of Cyril Slajttornc in
particular. Most beautiful young ladi?s
are naturally a triflo inclined to bo
flirts, and Ediena Wyldmero was no ex
ception. Not but that sbo loved me as
truly and dearly as ever, but never had
I made a serious declaration of my pas
sion, and for a timo sho enjoyed the at
tention bestowed upon her by those who
had been smitten by her rare charms of
grace and sweetnesss.
1 was poor, a carpenter's son, and this
fact alone in the eyes of her parents
disqualified me as a son-in-law. Our
Saviour was a carpenter's son, but this
fact has not caused the calling to bo
loomed more lofty than it was nir.eteen
hundred years aro. Eliena's parent
were on tho outlook for a "good match"
for their daughter, and they looked with
favor upon Cyril Staythorno. They
were too wiso to come out openly and
request Ediena to have nothing further
to do with tho poor carpenter's son, but
in divers ways they did every thing
they coold to separate us and to install
Staythorno in her favor.
I shall never forget the feeling of
rage and despair that seized mo as one
day I saw Ediena pass, 6eated in Cyril
Staythorne's handsome carriage, with
Staythorno himself by her side. I can
not describe our next meeting, now
much I was to blamo for what followed
I now know, but I then thought I bad
just causo for what I did. Hot words
were uttered, and for tho first time we
parted in anger. ...
Tho next day I left the quiet New
England town where twenty-one years
of my life had been spent. A passenger
train bore me away out into the world.
I was going anywhere that I might pet
away from the hateful spot that I had
always known as home, where so many
happy days had been spent with the
one from whom I thought fate had sep
arated mo forever.
I sought and obtained employment in
a great city, the crowded streets and
hurrying rush of which seemed very
strange and unnatural to me. I
tried to forget my old homo and
Ediena, but I soon found it impossible
to do so. Strive as I might to tear her
imago from my bosom, her fair, sweet,
faco was almost always before me.
Sternly I fought against the power that
seemed to be drawing me back to her.
Many a night did I awaken and sit bolt
upright in tho darkness of my little
room, with her plaintive cry sounding
in my ears:
"Oh, Jasper, come back to me!"
It always seemed very real but I
reasoned myself into thinking that it
was all imagination. I now know that
many, many times sho uttered that very
cry.
One day an accident happened to me.
I was passing along beneath the spot
whero repairs were being made on a
building when a falling board struck
mo senseless. I was pickel up and
carried to a hospital, but when I recov
ered consciousness I did not know
my own name. My mind did not seem
deranged, I could remeniher events and
people, but I could not recall tho namo
cf a single person whom I knew. They
told mo that I bad been severely
injured and that doubtless as I im
proved my memory would serve mo bet-U-r.
For several days 1 lay there, gradual
ly growing better physically, but in n
way improving mentully. Try as I
might, I could not recall names. I re
membered my home, Ediena, Cyril
Staythorno, every thing; but I could
not speak tho name of a single placo or
person, although 6corcs of times I
seemed on the point of doing so.
Finally, I had so far recovered that I
was informed that on the following day
I wis to be discharged from the
Gfc.sCV
:l n 1
01.60 and
IS90.
bospitaL The last night of mystay in
the hospital arrived, and at a very early
hour I sought my couch and was toon
last asleep.
I am not naturally a dreamer, tint am
a very sound sb-epor. It did not s"cm
that I dreamed that night, but suddenly
1 found myself in a familiar spo- Is
was night, c.n-1 a thunder-storm was
rapidly coming on. Tho black Learcns
were seamed with fire, and deep
thunder roared like an enraged monster.
I was standing on the old bri Igo which
spanned a winding stream not far from
my boyhood home. Suddenly a flash of
lightning showed mo Ediena hurrying
along the bridge.
Starled and amazed that she should
be there at such a time, i wv.s spoilt to
make my presence known, when another
flash showed a second person on t!i?
bridge. Plainly I saw Lis dark.,
mustached, evilly-handsomo face, and
plainly 1 heard Ediena's cry of surprise
and fear as ho confronted her midway
on. the trestle. Then through tho dark
ness floated his triumphant exclama
tion: 'Ah-ah! Ediena Wyldmero, I bav
yoa now! Twice I havo asked you to bo
my wife, only to meet with refusal and
scorn. To-night I swear you shall con
sent to marry me, or you moot your
death in tho waters of Crooked river!"
Then came another flash of lig! t that
showed my darling struggling iu his
vilo cl"isp. To my ears came a cry that
stirred every drop of blood in my veins:
"Oh, Jasper! Save me! save me!"
In an instant I leaped forward and
toro her from his arms; at tho same
timo I dealt him a terrific blow that
sent him reeling against the railing of
tho bridge. The rotten gutrd gave way.
and flinging up his arms, w ith the look
of unutterable horror on his faco plain
ly revealed by the vivid glare, he ut
tered ono wild cry and plunged down
ward into the dark water. Eiicna ut
tered ono joyful cry;
"Jasper! Jasper!"
Then she sank unconscious at my
feet. From that moment 1 1 new no
more until I awoko in tho iuon:ing to
find mj-solf in the hospitaL And in the
morning my memory was fully restored
to its natural condition. I found that I
knew my own name and tho names cf
my friends. That day I left tho hos
pital. I remained in the city a week, and
during the entire timo my strange
dream if dream it was worried mo
constantly. Was Ediena in trouble?
Did tho need my protection?
As a final result, one night I boarded
a swift train, ind in tho morning I
stood by my darling's bedside. Sho was
just recovering from a brief but severe
illness. As she clung to my hand and
shed tears of joy, she sobbed reproach
fully: "Oh, Jasper! Why did you leave mo
there on that bridge after rescuing tue
from Cyril Staythorne's hands?"
"What do you mean?" I hoarsely
gasped, scarcely able to credit my ears.
Then she described a scene just as 1
had witnessed and taken part ia in my
dronm. She finally said:
"I was ever to Mabel Gray's, where 1
intended to spend tho night, w hen the
thunder-stcmi cr.me up. I don't know
why I did it, but 1 re.olved to return
Lome, and I started out despite tho
protests of both Mabel and Lc-r tuother.
I met Staythorno on the bridge. Ho
seized me in his vilo grasp and I called
for help. Then you came and snatched
mo from his hands, at tho same timo
hurling him o3 the bridge. I caught
ono glimpso of your faco as it was re
vealed by tho lightning, and then I
fainted. When I recovered conscious
ness it was raining and I was alone on
the bridge."
"And Cyril Staythorno?" I asked.
"Was found the following day Coating
a corpse on Crooked river."
My story ends here. I have already
told yoa that Ediena is my wife. I can
not explain the mystery of my d. earn.
I can only writs tlie question thit 1 have
ashed rjystlf a thonsar.d times:
YV as it a dream? William G. Patten,

YOUNG ITALIAN WOMEN.
Their rernliar Idea r.s to MarrUc and
Their Dutie as Wivca.
In tho middle classes, fine dressing
out of doors has to bo combined with an
ability (real or supposed) for kceping
house. Fond mammas regale young
men with efories of their daughters'
prowess in cco'sting in a manner worthy
of Gollsmith's "Mrs. Primrose," and
have even been known to set the hope
ful young women to sw eeping au l clean
ing as socn as the expected rir.g v.as
beard at the door, in order that th-j hesi
tatitijr aspirant might be brought to a
declaration by the sight of tho girl's
capacity as a menial servant. Under
these circumstances marriage becomes
simply an escape from intolerable
dreariness.
The idea of choosing a husband to
whom she can prove a faithful wife
rarely enters tho Italian girl's head.
She must be married that Sho maybe
free. Some man of her acquaintance
thinks sho makes a good figure in tho
society he frequents, finds that her
dowry is sufScionily largo, and tired of
'living" or desirous of settling do.vu
proposes for her hand. Tho young wife,
if she belongs to tho upper classes, finds
herself suddenly in the possession of
unbounded liberty. Her chivf duty is
to act a-J a sort of clothes peg. that tho
world may praise her husband's liberal
ity. Sho can now go out alone, and
having little to do at home sjs. nds most
of her time calling-, promt nadii.g and
gossipping. St. James' Gazette.
A Sort of Sixth Sense.
A species of sixth sense has been ob
served In some deaf people that of the
appreciation of vibration. In one case
described, a woman who was so deaf
that she could hear slightly w ith only
one ear was atle to perceive a light
blew on a table, or a footstep. She de
scribed tho effect by saying, not that
6be could Lear the blow, but that she
could feci it. In another case of a
woman who was entirely deaf, her at
tention could be arretted instantly ly a
slight blow cn the floor or a table, so
sligb that bystanders would not notice
it. This faculty is explained by the ef
forts of nature to supply a compensation
for a lost faculty
