An Old Umbrella.
ST e. r. cßAwrs.
An old umbrella in the hah,
Battered and baggy quaint and queer—
By all the rain* of many a year
Bent, stained and faded—that i all.
Warped, broken, twisted by the hlaat
Of twenty winter*. UTI at l**t.
Like some y<*ir eloee-ivefed schooner oast,
All water-lfatged, with half a matt,
Upon the rock*, it tlnd* a nook
Of abetter du an entry hook ;
Old lettered craft, how name yon line ?
Ah ! could it speak, twenld toll of one-
Old Simon Howie*. who mm u gone—
Gone w here tho weary are at rest—
Of one who locked within hi* breast
Hi* private sorrow* o'er hi* lot,
And in hi*.humble work forgot
That he wa* but a toiling bark
Upon the billows in the dark,
While tho hrave newer *hip* swept by,
Sailing beneath a prosperous sky,
And winged with opportunities
Fate had denied to hand* like hi*.
A plain old-fashioned wight w* he
A* these * port-loving day* coiiUl is e
Re in hi* youth tiad loved and lost
Hi* loyal true love. Rver ainoe
Hi* lonely life wa* flecked and crossed
By sorrow 'a aaoteles* shadow tint*
Tet never s murmur from hi* lips
Told of hi* darkened ami's eclipse.
1 often think I sUU ean hear
Hi* voice so blithe, hi* tone* of cheer.
As, dropping in to say " good-day."
He goaeiped in his old man's way.
And yet we laughed when he hsi" pone.
We youngsters conkln t understand—
No matter if it rained or shone.
He held the umbrella in hia hand.
Or if he set it iu the hail.
Where other shedders of the rain
Stood dripping up against the wall.
His wa* too shabby and too plain
To tempt exchange : all passed it by.
Though showers of ram were pouring down.
And all the gutter* of the town
Were torrents m the darkening aky.
He never left it once behind,
Save the last time he crossed our door.
Oblivions shadows o'er hie mind
Presaged hi* failing strength. Before
The mornirg he bad passed away
In peaceful sleep from night to day.
And here the old brown umbrella sUii
In its old corner stays to All
The place, as best it may be, of him
Who, on this wild and wintry night,
I* surety with the saints of light;
For whom my eyes grow moist and dim
While 1 this simple rhyme indite.
Maude's Mistake.
" Marry J nstin St. John ? No!"
" But why *no * so emphatically,
Mande? I know you love him."
The pink on Maude's face flowed to a
guilty crimson, as gentle Lucy Mor
daunt looked up, a quiet, searching in
quiry in her calm, truthful eyes.
" You are accustomed to drawing very
unwarranted conclusions, my dear Lucy,
perhaps this is one of them."
Miss Campbell's voice had a hard,
metallic ring in its clear tones as she
thus lightly answered, and she laughed
loudly, but it was a constrained merri
ment"
"Look at me, Mande, t'ear."
Lucy went from her chair over ' lie
scarlet lonnge, whereon Maude, in aer
floating white dress, looked like a lily
among roses. She took both Miss Camp
bell's hands in her own.
" Listen, mv dear. Six weeks ago
who was yonr lover ?"
A vivid glow leaped suddenly to
Maude's face, end she turned away, as
if annoyed at the query.
" No," you must com ess to me, Maude.
Tell me who, on the last picnic at the
Pine Grove, was to you * fairest among
ten thousand' —who carried yon captive
by his elegance, his refinement, his in
telligence, his chivalry ?"
" Oh, yonallnde, Ipresume, to Justin
St. John, but then "
'Exactly; it was Justin St. John, the
noblest fellow ever saw. True, then
you had not met Mr. Jameson."
"Lucy, you are cross. Haven't I a
r'rfect right to marry John Jameson il
see fit ?"
"Not unless yon love him, Maude.
You know you do not care a straw for
him. You "do not need me to tell yon
how truly you love Justin St. John, for
your own heart whispers it Maude, be
true to your own womanhood. Give np
all thought of the old man, because he
has half a million, and betroth yourself
to the lover who cannot offer you a for
tune but his own priceless love."
Lucy's cheeks glowed as she spoke,
enthusiastically and earnestly.
" It's all very well for yon, Lucy Mor
daunt, with a fortune at your command,
to talk about love in a cottage, and all
that sort of romance. But I—l am
poor."
"Andyon will, then, marry a man
old enough to be your grandfather be
cause you are poor r"
And Maude Campbell's eyes flashed,
as she returned the quick, impulsive
answer, "I wilL"
It was a splendid apartment. The
plate-glass windows were shaded by
orange and white curtains that lay piled
in gleaming golden beauty upon the
carpet, the deep pile of which received
Maude Campbell's light footfall and
gave no returning echo.
With an impatient gesture she threw
herself in the embrace of a capacious
arm chair, and, her eyes lighted with
anger, ber cheeks flushed, her lips dain
tily apart, disclosing the pearls within,
* she gazed at the luxury around.
Flowing laces, rustling satins, droop
ing silks, .clinging velvets, diamonds,
carriages, servants, plate, dinners, ad
miration, envy—all tnese were the pic
tures that crowded through Maude
Campbell's restless brain as she lay,
half in dreams. A sudden spasm of in
tense pain throbbed over her face then
she sprang to her feet, holding her
hands tightly over her heart.
"Lncy is right lam bartering all
that is dear to me—all I hold sacred
all that I love—for money, m jney !"
She went to the mirror—a tall, gold
framed glass, whose apex, surrounded by
a winged serpent, with eye* of aatanie
allurement, reached the ceiling ; whose
base rested on a marble stand, which
two enpids held cm their dimpled shonl
dera. A flush of pardonable pride met
her gaze as sho viewed her reflection,
and a glorious reflection it was. "Peer
less " her lovers called her, and truly it
was truth.
Suddenly a frown, first of thonghtfnl
ness, then of sorrow, afterward of anger,
crept over her brows; and with a ges
ture of impatience, she turned away from
her review of herself.
"I know lam beautiful. People tell
me so, and I can see it myself. And of
what avail is it unless I can make my
fortune by it ? I may be pretty, bnt I
am certainly poor; yes, indebted to a
generous charity for the very shoes on
my feet, the very food I daily "eat!"
Her teeth closed with a very hiss, and
shemnrmnred to herself: "True, Mr.
Mordaunt and little May have been
* 'father and sister to me, yet lam a de
pendent ; they are simply almoners of
their own bounty. I must be rich ; I
should die were I deprived of the luxu
ries, the elegances that have surrounded
me since I was a tiny little girl."
She arose, and from a little invalid
drawer drew forth a miniature portrait,
and her eyes full of that eager, passion
ate light, pressed it to her lips.
" Justin, my darling, my darling, this
is my last caress; it is my farewell!
Oh, Justin, you never will know how
my heart aches with love for yon ; how
I long to have yon fold me to ypnr heart
and tell me how yon love me ! Jnstin,
my darling, I cannot marry yon. You
are poor and I am poor ; and—and Mr.
Jameson is worth half a million !"
With a trembling, icy hand, Mande
dosed the drawer; she paced the floor a
second, clutching her own hands in
agony of that unnatural sacrifice. Her
heart gave many a superhuman struggle
against the bond of slavery she unre
lentingly oast abont it; and the emo
tionless, bewilderingly fair and heartless
Mande Campbell went forth to fight her
way from love and content to riches and
ambition. ' ' J

There the two stood alone with Nature
in Nature's vast-aisled temple.
" Maude," —and Justin St. John's
voice innw in n tenderly-living manner,
while his arm stole around her U|tcritig
waist—" Maude, my darling, the time
hwa come when 1 ean no longer refrain.
I love von : 1 love von, Maude 1"
He Ivwod to kiss her, hia whole fnoe
lighted by hope and joy.
She wheeled aside, then looked tip nt
j him, her wondrous eyes filled with
amazement.
"Why, Mr. St. John !"
That was all she said, but the flush on
her cheek deepened, and the fire in her
eve brightened.
" I may repeat it, then ? Onm* to me,
Maude, and let nie hear you tell mc that
I am as dear to you as you arc to mo.
Oome, Maude."
She gently shook her head.
" Mr. St. John, yoi. must not allow
vouraelf to be mistaken. Forget what
lias passed, and let us finish our walk as
we commenced it—good friends, and
uotliing more."
She extended her hand, and Justin St.
John grn*{>ed it with a might that
brought a crv of |*aiti to her lips.
" Maude Campbell, you dare to set
aside mv offers of love * Yon who have
taught me the sweet lesson—you, mv
teacher? Maude, what does it mean f^'
His voice wan full of quivering an
guish.
Theu, by a mighty effort, Mamie
silenced the loyal cry in heart, and
looked coldly up at him.
"It means this—simply this. Wo
never, an long as yon suu shines, can be
more to each other than we are toilav—
nor even an much, if you annoy me fur
ther. "
Her voice wan cold and calculating, for
she was thinking of John Jauienou and
his half million ; so that she did not see
the contracted look of supreme pain that
came over St. John's handsome face,
and the white, haunting quiver of his
mustached lip, as, for an instant, he
bent beneath the sudden force of the nn
exjwvted blow.
"Then, Miss Campbell, we will return
an we mine, lint may God keep me in
this hour, when the woman I love tells
me that I annoy her by offeriug her as
honest, an true a love an man over poe-
Homeward they went, while the sun
sank lower and lower, while a damp chill
succeeded the genial warmth of the air,
aud, as thev silently, gravelv bowed
adieu at the house door, a sudden gust
of wind, fresh from the dim forest aisles,
came shrieking upon them like a wail of
despair to both their bleeding hearts.
The clorv of the autumn had given
way to the frost king ; and from the win
dow of Lady Mordaunt's palatial home
cheerily streamed broad banners of ruddy
tight over the snow, while within all was
gaiety and revelry.
Maude Campbell was there, queen of
grace and beauty, as usual, surrounded
by her admirers as a sovereign by her
courtiers.
Lucy Mordaunt, gentle and lovelv,
baa her time employed ai hostess, while
Mande entertained a large portion of the
guests.
" Lucy," and Maude's voice came in a
confidential whisper to Miss Mordauut,
" let's run to the library to rest a moment
or so; that last dance has fatigued me
wonderfully."
Arm-in-arm the ladies passed into the
library.
With a weary sigh, Mande threw her
self into an arm-chair.
" Oh, Lucy, I am so tired—not of
; cur partv, bnt the people—almost of
life !
Her face was grieved and bitt.r in its
expression.
" What! not the envied Miss Camp
bell talking in that strain, so melan
cholic and forlorn ?" and Lucy leaned
her sun-bright*head against Maude's
shoulder.
" What nonsense! And vet, Lucy,
dear, when I see you, 60 full of hope,
and joy, and animation, I think to my
self, she has all the things to live for," I
none."
She spoke very bitterly.
" Yon none, beautiful Maude?"
" Yes, I have cast away all that I ever
did—ever will care for. Lucy, you little
think that I rejected Justin St. John
last October ?"
" No, Maude!"
" I did. I repeat it I loved him !
. Oh, Father in heaven, how I loved him!
Bnt, Lucy, I must marry a rich man—l
must barter all I hold dear for the love
of ease that governs me with a power
that I cannot withstand ! Lucy, 1 hate
him ! I loathe him! I despise him,
But I am going to accept John Jameson
when he proffers me his hand, and all
because that haod offers me a fortune,
iHe will die! he must die! and then
who knows what his rich young widow
can do?"
There was a fearful tension in her
voice—a bright glitter in her eyes that
frightened timid Lucy.
"Maude, von must not Ton are
wicked to talk so. If you have spurned
Mr. St John, it was your own fault If
yon marry Mr. Jameson, you must learn
to respect—to love him !"
"Sever! the childish dotard! Is
Maude Campbell, to fall in love with
John Jameson ! It is his fortune, Lucy!"
With the same steely ring in tier
tones, she returned to the saloon.
Hall an hour later Mr. Jameson, with
all the gallantry of a* youth of twenty,
begged her to grant him an interview
the next morning.
She allowed it, and the pleasure seek •
ere retired to their homes.
Arrayed in her tasty morning robe,
Maude prooeeded to the parlor to greet
her lover.
"It has come," she thought, as de
scending the stairs she caught a glimpse
of his bowed form, as he chatted with
Lucy Mordauut, who sat sketching by
the window.
AB Maude entered the door, Lncy
gracefully excused herself, and weut
into the inner parlor.
" Miss Cam be ll—Miss Mnde, if I may
presume to say it," and Mr. Jameson
made his most delightful salaam—" I
need hardly mention the object of my
call this morning. My intention was to
offer yon my heart, my hand, my name
and my fortune."
He paused, and, if Maude noticed the
dubiousness of his words, she only
bowed respectfully.
" Bnt, Miss Mande, so old a dotard as
I, whom yon loathe, hate, despise,
would be very presumptuous to do it.
Therefore, Miss Mande, I announce the
object of my call to be an erraud of
thanks—sincere, grateful thanks to yon
that, when yon disenssed this subject so
freely to Miss Mordaunt last evening in
the library, yon spoke sufficiently loud
for me, in the next room, to get the
benefit of it. 1 rejoice, though my dream
is over"—here his voice trembled, in
spite of himself—"l awoke before it was
too late."
He bowed adieu, and was gone ere
Mande in her speechless surprise and
mortification, was aware of his departure.
With a cry of pain and rage, she ran
to the window to see him descending the
steps.
"My dream, too, is over. Fate seems
determined to deny me wealth, so I'll
make the best of it. I can obtain love,
thongh." And her love came quicker,
as she thought of Jnstin St. John. "He
loves me still, I know be does. Jnstin,
darling, yon shall be mine yet!"
Her face beaming with delightful
hope, Mande stepped to the door of the
adjoining parlor. Voices arrested her at
tention, and she stopped. The door was
ajai; she could listen; she could hear;
she could see; she did see.
" Lncy, I know it had only been a
couple of months since Mande rejected
my suit. Bnt I have learned to be
thankful for my escape from her mer
cenary hands. I have learned to forget
her; and, Lucy, my own true little girl,
I have learmed to love yon as I never
loved Mande Campbell. Darling, may
I place this ring on your finger—may I
call you mine—my very own, for ever?"
" Your very own, for ever, Jnstin St.
John!"
Flo silently placed a sparkling jewe'
over her pltimn little linger.
"They are diamond*, my pet, of the
purest water. I am not Justin St.. John,
the poor man, though a* a poor man 1
harewoumy priaa. lam Justin St. John,
the millionaire, whoso money ean out buy
Mr. Jameson twice over.
Maude Camplvell heard the words.
Her fiuv grew deadly pale, aud, with a
slnver that shook her heartstrings and a
sigh that almost earried sway I er breath,
she tiiriunl sileutlv awav. a lone woman.
A Thrilling Kxporlenee.
The following thrilling sUiry we And
in the San Uenardiuo (IJul.) AWni
/Vopi'e of a reeent issue : laiat week
J. NV. Wilson, better kuown as Quarts
Wilson, was proM|avtmg ou the head
waters of the White Water, some nixty
miles from hem, for grass or tock-feHt.
He discovered a narrow valley, through
which ruu a small stream. The valley
was only practicable of entrance bv one
path, that by which be entered. As he
rxsle along he was delighted with the
ahtiudaoce of rich, nutritions grass,
which stood three feet high, and medi
tated driviug a herd of sts'k then' soon,
when he was rudely called hack to tluuk
of the prest-ut bv a start and a snort
from his " burroor donkey. Issiktug
back, he discovered, t his horror, that
some ooraou had set Uie grass ou tire,
and the dame* were pursuing him with
fearful rapidity, Hastily spurring U
the stream, he dismounted, wtripped the
saddle from the donkey and turned it
loose. As for himself, he sprang into
tho creek, searched out tho deepest place
he could find in the few seconds that
elapsed lefore the flic was upon him, and
lay down. Unfortunately the water was
but a few inches lit depth, not nearly
enough to cover him, but it was the only
chance, and so lie lay, hoping to eaesjie,
but fearing the worst. Iu much less
time than it takes to narrate this the tire
was upon him. First large flake* fell
thick and fast around him, compelling a
lively rolling in tho water to keep both
sides wet. But when the tire was roar
ing and raging above and around him
came the fearful ordeal. From side to
side he turned, striving to allay the
terrible sufferings inflicted by the intense
heat, but with onlv (rnrtial success. The
fire scorched off all his hair anil beard
aud reduced one ear to a cruder, Bums
and blisters all over his IHKIY alt<sted
the tremendous heat to which he was
subjected, but Anally, after what seemed
to be ages of torment, but was really
only a few brief moments, the fire died
away from lack of material to feed upou.
Our score hod, burned and tortured pros
pector emerged frem the stream. The
first object upou which his eyes rested
was the body of his donkey ; further ou,
the Utdica of three deer, also hurued to
a crisp. As he struggled on, other
charred remains met his eyes. Now a
new danger overtook him. His eyes re
ceived such a scorching that they were
rapidly swelling shut He struggled on
and finally reached the ranch of Mr.
Maxwell, at the head of the Santa Auus,
more bv courage than by sight, where
he now lies. He is recovering from his
injuries, but it will lie long before he is
restored to his usual health, or before he
will be able to be about his work, and
much louger before he will forget that
day of peril from the fire-fiend while in
the fastuesaees of grand old Qnybaek.
Words of Wisdom.
A grave, wherever found, oreachea a
short, pithy sermon to the soul.
He who can st all times sacrifice
pleasure to duty approaches sublimity.
He that has no friend and no enemy is
one of the vulgar, aud without talents,
powers, or energy.
If yon pass for more than your value,
say little. It is much easier to look
wise thau to talk wise.
One solitary philosopher may be great,
virtuous, and happy 111 the midst of
poverty, but not a whole people.
Common sense is looked upon as a
vulgar quality, nevertheless it is the
only talisman to conduct us properly
through the world. The man of refined
Reuse has been compared to one who
carries nothing but gold, when he may
be every moment in want of a smaller
change. '
They who are most impetuous in the
pursuit of happiness usually meet with
the severest diappoiutmeuta. Happi
ness enters most freely into the mind
which is the most tranquil in its desires.
Be just and truthful. Let these be
the ruling and predominating principles
of your life, and the reward will be cer
tain either in the happiness they bring
to vour own bosom, or the success which
will attend upon all yonr business opera
tions in life, or both.
An open and generous heart will not
permit a cloud to hang upon the brow
if a friend without inquiring into the
reason of it, in hopes to be able to dis
pel it.
In the pathway of life it is not the
great obstacles but the little hiudrances
which overcome us. It must be a high
wall which we cannot surmount, but it
is the little stone that trips us up.
He who surpasses or subdues man
kind, must look down on the fate of
those below.
The pitying tears and fond smiles of
women are like the showers and sun
shine of spring.
Knowledge is proud that he has learn
ed so much—Wisdom is humble that he
kuows no more.
The epicure, the drunkard, and the
man of loose morals are equally con
temptible ; though the brutes obey in
stinct, they never exceed the IKJUUCIS of
moderation ; and besidee, it is lieneath
the dignity of man to placo felicity in
the service of his senses.
If you wish to keep your enemies
from knowing any harm of you, don't
let your friends know any.
Indian Ferocity.
Three miles from our camp, nud half a
mile from the Deadwood trail, writes a
Black Hills correspondent, we found
what once had been a human being.
Homo miner trying to reach our camp, or
some one going into town from some
camp unknown to us, had here besn
overhauled by perhaps a dozen savages.
There had been no struggle, and there
were no empty shells to show that a shot
had lieen fired. He was, perhaps, over
hauled there after a long chase, or had
suddenly encountered the Indiaus and
been overpowered. As near as weoould
make out that they had first sliced off
bis e&m. These we found pinned to a
tree. They had then held his feet on a
rock, taking each in turn, and deliber
ately mashed them to a pulp with the
heads of their hatchets. The man's
sufferings must have been awful, but the
fiends had only commenced. His fingers
were then broken one by one, his nose
cut off, his front teeth smashed out and
it is mercifnl to hope life had fied by
that time. As we viewed the body, the
scalp was torn from the head, the throat
cut, each arm tinjointed at the shoulder,
the legs unjointed at the knees, the
ttowels ripped open and the eyes dug
out. Even savage cruelty could go no
further.
Osman Pasha.
OK man Pasha, the Turkish commander
at Plevna, is described by a war corre
spondent as a middle-aged looking man
having the appearance of an English
farmer. He speaks a little French, un
derstands a little more, but prefers to
talk Turkish when he can. He looks
after everything himself—after the sup
plies of ammunition, the oommisariat
stores, and the medicines. On the battle
field he received telegrams and messages
from every part of the field continually;
" and while engaged in trying to out
maneuver a wily and active enemy, he
sat on a little stool with a lead pencil
behind his ear sometimes, and sometimes
stuck under the edge of his fez, with his
field-glass in his hand and a cigarette
in his month, as cool and collected as
thongb he had been listening to a lecture
on the Arctic regions. He never for an
instant spoke or acted hastily, maintain
ing his extraordinary coolness through
out the thirteen hours of the battle. He
showed me a revolver case taken from
the body of a dead Russian officer, in
which there was actually a sham wooden
model of a pistol—that was all—with a
ring in the butt-end."

Anecdote of UroraneirN Time.
A aol.lier in Cromwell's army, psMing
with bin oomrailea over Derbr'a St.

holing water from the river. In the
sprite of frolic ami mischief, he threw a
large atone, iutenling it ahonhl startle
her bv making a sudden splash. But it
struck her on the head, aiul made a hide
ous wound. Hhe fell into the river. The
soldier did not w.iit to see that she was
rescued. He galloped on, feeling that
he hail been guilty of a wanton murder.
The unknown oouseijuenoes of his folly
preyed upon his mind. Hi* conscience
waa always upbraiding him. Years after,
when discharged from the Army, he set
tled down in Derby. He took a public
house in Bridge Gate, and after a short
acquaintance with a woman of suitable
nge, got married. Very soon after their
wedding be saw his wife combing her
hair, aud mqiiired how she got that
great war which disfigured one aide of
her head. Hhe replied : " Some wretch
of a soldier had onox> m-orly killed her
with a stone, but if she ever caught that
man she would pay him off for it." It
is not recorded how she punished her
1 nshand wheu he oonfeeaed being her
assailant, or how great was his relief
when the haunting thought of a wanton
murder was removed from his mind.

Russian Wild Horse*.
In the steppea of Rnsaia it is not rare
to see a two-year old colt rush singly to
attack a band of four or five wolves, kill
one or two of them, lame the rent., and
spread the terror of his name thronghout
the country. The wild horse strikes
with hia fore feet, like the stag, and not
with bis hind legs, as is popularly be
lieved. He draws himself np to his fnll
height against his enemy, and ponnds
him beneath his murderons pestles ;
then seises him between the shoulders
with his formidable incisors, and tosses
him to his mares, to make sport for
themselves and their offsprings.

The interior of New York State contain*
many manufacturing establishments that In
alia and quality of wort turned ont are in
ferior to none in any part of the country. One
of the must noteworthy of such manufactories
la the Thion Chair Works of P. A Sinclair, at
Mo tvatle, Onondaga county. New York. This
chair factory is une of the largest in the in
terior of the Slate, and Is devoted to the maiiu
factnrw of a speciality appropriately called
"Common Sense Choir*.' Mr. Siuchur is a
practical chair maker, and has had an expe
rience of thirty year* in the manufacture of
chairs. Having been engaged tu the buaineaa
fur so long a period, it la not perhaps to be
wundcrcd at that be has succeeded in produc
ing a chair of unusual excellence. In the
chair* made by blm bard wood is used—prin
cipally maple and white elm—which is care
fully selected, contain# no defects and Is
thoroughly seasoned. In fact every thing
about tbe ciiair la made of the beat malarial,
by exjenenced workmen, and under Mr. Sin
clair's personal oupwrvuaoo. And such a re
putation for superiority of make have they
obtained that Mr. Hinclar la compelled to cau
tion buyers tu eee thai his name la atamjwd
upon the chair before buying, in order to avoid
purchasing a counterfeited and inferior article.
Yet. with creditable frankness, he dues not
claim that his chain are the cheapest tn the
market, but claims, with emphasis, that they
are the beet made.
A glance at Mr. Sinclair * illustrated jcusa
list shows the substantial character of the
chain and rockers made at bit factory. The
list embraces chain large and small, frum a
child's rockar up to a large, nl>atanUal-look
ing rocker called "Everybody'a Favorites"
which looks as though it would afford "rwst
for the weary' any number of years. Com
fort, convenience and strength sects to be the
I'evailing characteristics of these chain, and
it i* therefore m l t be wondered at that the*
have received strong eiprweatous of approval
from the press and public.
