MY ONLY WANT,
If I could have my dearest wish fulfilled,
And take my choice of all earth's treas
ures, $00,
Or choose from heaven whatso’er I willed,
I'd ask for you,
Noman I'd envy, neither low nor high,
Nor king in castle old or palace new;
I'd hold Golconda’'s mines less rich than I,
If 1 had you.
Toil and privation, poverty and care,
Undaunted I'd defy, nor fortune wco;
Having my wife, no jewel else I'd wear,
Little T'Q eare how lovely she might be,
How graced with every char, how fond,
how true.
E'en though perfection, she'd be naught to
me,
Were she not you.
Theres more charm for my true loving
heart,
In everything you think, or say, or do,
Than all the joys that heaven could e'er
impart,
Because it's you.
TERRA ASI
MADE TO MEASURE,
“IIullo. old chappie! you're the very
chappie wanted to see, to ask about the
other chappie,” said the Honorable
Heeston Hawbury, checking himself in
the midst of his evolutions on the out-
side edge, and bringing himself to 2
standstill upon the ice.
“Do you mean Wentworth?"
“Yes, don’t ye know; of course. You
see, we're going to have some private
theatricals at the Hall, and we want a
fellow like what’s-his-name, or some
chappie of the sort, to set usall going.”
“I'm afraid you will have to do with-
out him,”
“Oh!.dooce hang it all! he is the best
fellow to act for miles around, Where
is he? What's become of him?"’
“Hes left us all, and gone abroad to
make his fortune.”
“Haw! What? Never! Wentworlh
set off to walk to London like that
other chappie, with a bundle on a stick
over his shoulder, and half a crown in
his pocket, haw? Naw, by Jove, naw;
I can’t believe 1t.”’
“It's a fact, Hawbury, 1
you."
“‘Yaas, Has he weally, now?’’ re-
plied the Honorable Heeston Hawbury,
slowly, as he stroked ls mustache,
“Then how about Miss Livingston? He
hasn’t taken her with him? She isn’t
the sort of girl to go with a chappie to
physic darkies.” :
“No, not when there are half a dozen
fellows waiting for her at home. See
yonder; she has just come down lo the
jake, and there's that confounded
fellow Newdigate putting on her
skates.”
“Haw! now Wentworth’s away, a
feller who is really a feller has a chance.
Confound the theatricals! I'll go in for
the Livingston girl and back myself at
five to one.”
“Done! In what time?”
“I'll take your five to one in centuries
that in three years from to-day, the
twenty-first of December Lucy Living-
ston will be Mrs. Heeston Hawbury.”’
And the bet was booked,
Two years and three-quarters of the
specified period elapsed, and Lucy Lav-
ingston was Lucy Livingston still,
During that time she had received half
a dozen offers of marriage,
Lucy, as well as being an heiress,
was one of the prettiest, brightest,
freshest, merriest girls that ever said
“no to a suitor.
As one by one her rejected lovers
went forth from her presence to despair
drink or death, another, undeterred by
the fate of his predecessors, willingly
stepped into his place,
But Heeston Hawbury, who was the
first to propose and be rejected, turned
up at stated intervals, to be refused
again and again, filling up the gap, so to
speak, when no other eligible young
man were forthcoming,
“I can’t think why you doa’l marry
Hawbury,”’ said Uncle Toddy pettishly
one September afternoon, on the prome
nade of Guterwurstbad. ;
Unele Toddy was Lucy Livingston's
only relative, and she was presumably
heir to his very considerable property.
Moreover, he was her guardian, and if
ever guardian was more completely
under the control of a ward than he,
history has not recorded the fact.
“My darling old uncle!” she answer-
ed, patting two cheeks with her pretty
hittle peari-gloved hands; “my darling
old uncle! rather than warry Mr. Haw-
bury, I would give myself and my for-
tune to Dr. Wallis.”
“My precious,” said Uncle Toddy,
“why he isas old as I am.”
“That's why I like him, dear,” re
plied the artful little puss,
After peremptorily Refusing her latest
offer, not counting the Honorable
Heeston Hawbury’s, whose proposals
came in like the chorus in a Greek play
Lucey Qagiiised her besieged heart
needed , and her fatigued body
change of scene, Uncle Toddy, living
only to please the pretty capricious girl
whom he loved as the apple of his eve,
left it to her to name a place of retreat,
After much deliberation, Miss Living-
ston decided upon Guterwurstbad, Ac-
cordingly to Guterwurstbad they trav-
.
Guterwurstbad is a small, select,
fashionable German watering-place, not
a thousand miles from the Black Forest,
the Rhine, and the Danube, but as yel
it has escaped the autumnal influx of
Enghsh tourists, aud is the chosen re-
sort of Jong-named h German
and French nobility, with a sprinkling
of the creamiest of London society, It
is a tiny little village, with three hote
a kursaal, a promenade, two bands,
a railway station. 1t is situated as in

variety of rambles jug Excursions, while
a hundred rivulets, rising am the
hills, rush and foam over their rock
beds to swell the river, which boils an

haste to join the Rhine.
In all, Guterwurstbad no man was

and time had blanched his luxutient
hair, His eyes, still dark and flashing,
had so far lost their power as to necessi-
tate the constant use of glasses, and
his figure, which was slim and youthful
for one of his years, would have been
singularly graceful but for an awkward-
ness in one of the shoulders, which
almost amounted to a deformity, Fur-
ther, he.owned a melodious voice and a
pleasant chit-chat conversation, which.
without being absolutely witty, was
yet sufficiently pungent and humorous
to please.
here is little wonder that the entire
English population, and a large per-
centage of the foreign, courted the
society of the English doctor, who,
despite his years, was as active asa
youth, as clever as a professor, and as
handsome as an Apollo,
Lucy Livingston had apparently
been dazzled by the glamor which sur-
reunded this elderly physician, and
after consulting him as an invalid, and
having been promptly told that there
was nothing whatever the matter with
her, seemed in no wise inclined to drop
the acquaintance, while the doctor,
who had hitherto been impervious to
all the arts and wiles of designing femi-
ninity, was seen sufliciently often in
Miss Livingston's company to excite
the envy, hatred, and malice of Her-
mione Heidelberg, a wealthy widow
{rumer said'her deceased husband had
been a money-lender in Mayence), and
of Eulalie de Chatenay, & French lady
who passed for a countess, but was
sometimes accused of having been in
the ballet, who, before the advent of
the young English beauty, had shared
the attention of Dr, Wallis between
them,
As for Lucy Livingston, she gloried
in the jealousy she created, and never
lost an opportunity of being seen in
physician appear to find her company
distasteful, and was even accused of
neglecting his patients for the sake of a
little fresh-colored girl from across the
Channel, young enough to be his
granddaughter.
“My darling,” said uncle Teddy, “do
not forget that Heeston Hawbury will
be here this week; and, my pet, I should
really reflect seriously, if I were in your
position, before 1 refused him for the
fourteenth time-—he may not ask you
again,”
Dr. Wallis had rooms in the inn of
the Three Cranes, He had taken them
on his arrival in Guterworstbad, and
had never thought it worth his while to
risk the discomfort of an establishment
of his own while he could enjoy the
ease of a well-appointed hotel,
Madame Heidelberg and the Countess
de Chatenay were both located beneath
the same roof, but Lucy and Uncle
Toddy lodged two doors off at the
Crown.
A common grievauce created a syin-
pathy between the heretofore deadly
rivals, Hermione Heidelberg and Enlalie
de Chatenay, They united in fierce
condemnation of the *'English minx;"
they met and compared notes; tuey
agreed that since Lucy’s arrival at
Guterworstbad, Dr. Wallis had grown
younger, jauntier, brisker, livelier; and
they united in an ardent desire to save
him from the traps laid for him by that
‘‘designing British hassy.”” The very
morning they made common cause to-
gether, a little forest urchin came
tearing on mule-oack through the
woods in search of the English doctor.
Her Puissant Serenity the Princess
Fitzundstratzenberg lay dangerously ill
at her castle, whither Dr, Wallis was
bidden to haste as fast as his horse
could take him,
The Countess de Chatenay watched
him depart with a smile of triumph,
and hardly had he quitted the hotel
when, with a mysterious gesture, she
beckoned Hermione Heidelberg to
her,
““His secret is ours,’ she whispered in
the vestibule. ‘‘We will be revenged.”’
On tiptoe the women stole up stairs
to the doctor's apartments, In the
hurry of departure, he had neglected to
fasten his door and the conspirators
stole noiselessly into the room.
“See!” eried Eulalie; “do you wonder
now that day by day Lis age grows less,
that his wrinkles fade, that his parched
cheeks resume the bright hue of youth?
See what the man we love, but who
despises us, has stooped to do for the
sake of the English minx!” and she
pointed disdainfully to the dressing-table
ou which stood an array of bottles,
washes, dyes, and unguents, sufficient
to stock a shop.
‘‘He is beneath our notice,” said Ma-
dame Heidelberg, taking up bottle after
bottle and examining them, apparently
now and again recognizing one as an
intimate acquaintance of her own.
“Yes, dear,” rejoined the other, ‘but
that is no reason why we should not
expose him. It is quite sickening—a
man at his time of life resorting to such
practices to ingratiate himself with a
pink and white doll like that! I thought
better ot him.”
“So did I dear,” said Madame Hei-
delberg.
“We will expose him,” continued
Eulalie; **he shall no longer stoop to
these artifices to win the affection of a
girl young enough to be his grand-
daughter. Help me Hermione,"
The river flowed beneath the doctor’s
window, and through the casement the
two women recklessly pitched every
bottle, box and pot, every brush, pin,
and hare’s foot they fonnd upov his
dressing-table,
“Now we shall see what he looks like
in the morning!” said the countess,
gnmly laughing. “Fancy the poor
miserable wizened thing Sresping shame
faced to the breakfast-tablel Upon my
word, I almost pity him.’
“He has brought it on himself; said
Madame Heidel severely; & man
paint! Pah!”
The next morning when Pr. Wallis
entered the salle-a-manger, there was a
hesitation in his step, a troubled look on
his face and he seated himself in the
Remotes corner farthest from the win-
ow.
Madame Heidelberg and the Coun-
tess interchanged glances; then they
bent their gaze upon the physician, He
looked ten Joan younger than usual.
The erow’s feet had vanished from his
eyes, There was a faint glow of color
in his cheeks, and his snow white hair
was streaked with a darker hus,
At dinner another decade had been
taken from his age, and at breakfast
the following day, but for the glasses he
wore, and the semi-venerable aspect of
his locks, he might almost have been a
young man,
“Where did he get a fresh supply?’’
asked Eulalie of Hermione.
Pater in the day came a new arrival
to the Three Cranes——a young English-
man, who inscribed his name in the
visitor’s book as Heeston Hawbury.
He stared hard at the doctor, then
crossed the room and extended his hand
in greeting.
“Wentworth, old chappie,” he said,
“howdee?”’
“My dear fellow,” said the doctor,
throwing aside his glasses, and appear-
ing younger than ever, “I'm delighted
to see you; but you're twenty-four
hours too late, Lucy accepted me yes-
terday.”’
“You see, Uncle Toddy,” said Dr.
Wallis Wentworth, without either
glasses or hump that same evening, as
he sat holding Lucy's unresisting baud
in his, “I have been ‘made to measure.’
You know how I tried and in vain, to
establish myself in practice in England.
I had no money, few friends, and
less interest; so 1 determined to emi-
grate, 1 took London on my way to
some colony—1 neither knew nor cared
which—and while there, an old chum
who bad walkea the hospital with me,
told me there was a capital opening for
a London physician at Guterworstbad.
I put myself in communication with his
friend, a man. in authority here, who
wrote confirming the intelligence, but
adding that it was absolutely necessary
the doctor should be married, or else
have the respectability of years. A
married man or a batchelor over fifty
was what was wanted. Of the two I
chose the least. My taste, and 1 may
say my success in private theatricals,
had given we a certain knowledge of
the art of making up. They shall have
a doctor to measure, said I. So I
bleached my hair and painted my cheeks
and lined my face, and wore double
glasses, and came, and saw, and con-
quered, and here 1 am, Uncle Toddy,
in a good practice, and with money laid
by. Thanks to the spite of certain
friends of mine, I am growing younger
every day; but it is a matter of no imn-
portance, for now that I am no longer
made to gue measure, 1 will be made to
the other. I surrender old age in favor
of matrimony. The Princess of Fitz-
undstratzenberg bas to-day appointed
me her physician in ordinary, and I
only want your consint to my union
with your niece to be the happiest man
in the whole of the Gennan empire,”
**And you knew this all along Lucy?”
asked Uncle Toddy.
“Ye—e—es," faltered the blushing
girl, with a roguish glance from beneath
Lier lashes,
“Huml—hal—very wrong—all this
mumming, acting, mountebank foolery;
but—abem-—well-—the least said the
soonest mended, Bless you, my chil-
dren,”
——
About Leeches,
Something mysterious tied up in a
white jar attracted the attention of
customers at a prominent drug store
and the druggist good-paturedly untied
the cloth and took out some black, |
wriggling worms,
elongated at pleasure, and started off
when touched with a pencil at a rapid
pedestrian gait until headed off and
dropped back into their damp porcelain
“They are leeches,’” explained the
druggists, “and come all the way from
Holland. Twenly years ago, when
bleod-letting was in vogue, they were
in great demand. Now, they are only
occasionally called for.”
“In what class of diseases do they use
them?”
“Disorders of the head; if there isa
numbness or pressure of blood on the
brain, chronic headache, ete,, they put
them on the temples and let them suck
the blood till they are full, when they
fall off. Salt is then thrown on them
and they disgorge and are ready for use
again,’’
“How ofien can they be used?’
“A number of times, There is one
lady in Detroit who keeps a pet leech,
When her head aches, she applies the
reptile to her temple and sits down to
read. When it falls off, she drops it
into a glass of salt and waler, and if her
headache is pot relieved, applies it
again, until sometimes she has used it
three or four times and lost some ounces
of blood.”
A more convenient way of using the
leech is now in vogue. Itisslipped into
a glass bulb with an orifice smaller than
the reptile’s body. Through this it
projects its head and fastens upon the
human flesh in which its banguet is
waiting. Usually the patient is too
ill to care for the repulsiveness of this
remedial agent whom Webster thus de.
scribes:
“A cotyloid worm largely used for
the local abstraction of blood, It is of
a flattened form when elongated, thick-
est at the posterior end, has two suckers
aud ten eyes arranged in a horseshoe
form, and is of an olive-green color,
variously marked, It has a triangular
mouth in the anterior sucker, at each
end of which is placed a lalf-moon
plate set about the free rim with trans.
verse teeth, By the retraction of these
jaws a stellate incision is made, through
which the leech sucks blood till it is
gorged and then drops off.”’
There are plenty of leeches in the
neighborhood of Ecorse aud other river
hamlets, and the boys often collect fifty
or one hundred and trv to d of
them to the drug store, where they are
refused as a general thing: then they
offer them at the Chinese laundries
where they cook them with rice and
macaroni. There are some specialists
who use them for a valuable oil thoy
are said to make, In New York there
are artificial ponds where the imported
leeches are kept. The wholesale drug-
gists buy them in tubs of black earth
packed almost solid, They only require
air and moisture to keep them alive,
call them blood suckers, and have
a ike to their acquaintance when
fishing, as they fasten on their bare feet
with a tenacity that allows no chance
i
of remo them till have filled
of Tumoving. Sb TR,
Hashossh Fanoies,
A wonderful young man with a pale
face and nervous tread was interviewed
by a reporter recently, He confessed
that he was the victim of the hasheesh
habit, and couldn't give it up.
“How does it affect you?”
“I begin to laugh; the most common-
place things seen to be utterly ridicu-
lous, and 1 laugh till the tears come at
things which would ordinarily be un-
noticed, At times I stop suddenly,
and the true condition of things comes
over me, I know what I am doing
and think of what a fool Iam, and
before I can get things perfectly clear,
the fit comes on me again and I am in
convulsions, This lasts an hour or so,
and then I begin to be quiet. I seem
to lose myself and float away into
space. I have the most absurd imagin-
ings, I seem to be transformed into a
bird and fly up, up, up until I am lost
among the clouds, Then I suddenly
have a lucid moment and am as ra-
tional as any man, Sometimes I am a
great general and visit war scenes and
do the commanding for whole armies,
I walk around the room and keep time
to imaginary war drums, Once 1
seemed to be transformed into a ma-
chine, and I moved my arms and legs
like the cranks and levers of an engine,
After a half bour of this I want to keep
perfectly quiet, The slightest move-
ment seems to be an immense labor. 1
close my eyes and see gorgeous pictures
—cities with gleaming towers and gil
ded minarets reaching to the sky, Vast
rivers and oceans roaring and crashing,
painted ships on their troubled waters,
ralnbows arching the entire heavens,
and landscapes beyond the beauties of
the painter’s brush, In all this I take
the greatest pleasure, There seems to
be a sense of resting and a feeling of
absence from all bodily weaknesses,
If left to myself I should fall asleep at
this stage, and sleep till its effects were
over.
“At times 1 talk and am only happy
when I am telling some great story. I
make speeches to imaginary andiences,
I can tell the most absurd lies with all
the dignity and composure of a parson
in the pulpit. So those who are with
me say,"
“Do you lose sensciousness?”’
‘Never.
I am with, and the appearance of a
stranger often drives the whole effect
away. I sometimes try to write poetry
but the ideas ge! mixed, t is impos.
sible to think continuously on any one
subject, Ideas seem to crowd through
one's brain with a terrible rush. In
all this, the time seems to pass immeas-
urably slow. The minutes seem like
hours and an hour like a lifetime.”
“Does it affect all people alike?’
“No. There is a wide difference in
its affects, Some see the most horrible
sights that can be pictured. They labor
under the idea they are dying, they are
sick at their stomachs and have
spasms like men in delirium tremens,
This class don’t usually take a second
dose,”
*“Why don’t you quit it?"
“Ican’t. I say each time will be my
last, but the fascination is too great for
me, It is not an appetite, I don't
hanker after it, but all at once I seem
to have a touch of its effects, and be-
fore I know it I have it down, if there
any to be had.”
“What is the drug, anyway?"’
Its scientific name is cannabis indicus,
It is the juice of an East Indiau plant
much like our hemp. The natives get
the juice which oozes from the stems
by running through felds of it and then
scraping off what has adhered to their
garments. My pulse is up to ninety
pow, from my last night's dose; 1 must
goand get a cigar to stop it. Some-
times my pulse runs up to 140 or more,
I suppose it will kill me some day; but
it is no use to talk. I presume I'll take
another hundred drops within three
days.”
And the young man arose and with a
shambling gait conducted his caller to
the street,
Khartoum, Soudan.
Khartoum, the Capital of Soudan, is
located at the confluence of the Blue
and white Niles, The fortifications are
outside of the town proper and consist’
of a line of earthworks, with the addi-
tional protection of a ditch orf the left
bank of the Blue Nile. The town of
Khartoum, is the chief trade emporium
for the whole country, built on a barren,
stonsless and wide plain, on the west
bank of the Blue Nile, and about a
mile from its junction with the White
Nile, Its river frontage is about one
and a half miles; its depth inward from
the river about a mile. As its site is
somewhat lower than the point reached
fifteen to twenty feet in height has been
made along the banks of the Blue Nile,
another somewhat lower, immediately
at the back of the town, to
aunst the overflow of the White Nile,
hen at their lowest point both streams
are from six hundred to eight hundred
yards in width, and have several islands
which are cultivated. The White Nile
is untordable, except in one or two
places far up the river, but the Blue
can be forded in many above the
town, When in flood the White Nile
increases its width to a vary grout ex-
tent, but not so the Blue Nile, as its
banks are much steeper. Around
Khartoum are several small villages,
Both above and below the town are
small plantations of date palms and
plantains, also a nomber of vegetable

The resident population is generally
estimated at from fifty to fifty-five
thousand souls, of which two thirds are
slaves. There is also a floating popula-
tion estimated from one thousand five
hundred to two thousand souls, and
condisting of Europeans, Copts, Turks,
Albanians and a few Jews. The free
resident population are mostly Makhass
or Aborigines, Dongolawees from Don-
gola, Shaghiyes from a district along
the Nile north of Khartoum, and
Rubatat, a district north of Berber,
The slaves belong mostly to the Nuba,
Dinka, Shulook, Berta and other negro
tribes. Both the free population and
the slaves are all Mohammedans of the
Maliki school of divinity, and are also
followers of either the Rufai, Kadri,
Hamdi or Saadi sect of dervishes, They
are very superstitious. Their political
creed is to side with whichever side is
the strongest,

Lieutenant Colonel! Stewart wrote on

I have been assured that many govern-
ment employes, and nearly all the
native traders, are secret partisans of
the Mahdi, in the hopes that he will re-
establish the slave trade. It is ques-

justified, but perhaps I shall not be far
