A Path Leads all the Way.
I #it before my door at eve,
And looking westward sivly say,
Should I these garden precincts leave
And cross the meadows sweet with dew,
And climb the hills 80 deeply blue,
And follow still the setting day—
Btill other gardens I should find,
And other meadows dowy sweet,
And still the summer roads would wind,
And still the patient earth would lead
Though I a thousand miles should wend
Herselt unto my patient feet,
The rivers hide "neath many a bridge,
The better pleased they greet the day:
There's guidance o'er She roughest ridge;
Aye, though "tis thousand miles or wore
To where she sits within tone door,
There is a path leads all the way.
Oh, blessed land of the dear earth,
Betwixt us still, though wide we stray,
Thou seem ’st to lessen thy great girth
In dusk and stillness for my feet;
Thy furile hinting yvt is sweet;
There is a path that leads the wayl
And at its end she sits the same,
With evening face serenely bright,
With lips that sweetly speak my nama;
While through her look and smile there
play
Suggestion still of holy ways,
That couguer parting, change and night,

Bignolies,
Orphan and master of a large fortune,
he male a conspicuous figure in the
fashionable world, He had a fine ap

of speech sufficient to gain him the
reputation of a wit, some natural grace,
snd an air of noble reserve, a brave
mustache and soft eyes—just whal

t was known that he was a good
pwordsman aud a better shot,
“When I have to fight,”’ he would

Now, one evening, after having ao.
mpanmed to the opera two young mar-
ried ladies of his soquaintance, with
eir husbands, he invited the whole
rty after the performance to take
me ice-cream at Tortont’s. They had
jou there ouly a few minutes, when he
erved that a gentleman seated at a
ighboring table was staring steadily
one of the ladies in the party. She
wed to feel annoyed, embarrassed,
kept her head down. At last she
said to her husband;
“There is a man over there who keevs
staring at me. I doz't kuow hi at ali;
do you?”
The husband, who had not no‘iced
anvhody; turned to look, and replied:
*No; I don’t know him at all.”
The young woman coutinued, half
smiling, half angry:
**It 18 very annoying; that man spoils

The husband shrugged his shoulders,
“Nonsense; psy no attention to him,

He approached the man, and said to
him:
i “Bir, youn are staring at those ladies

Will yon be good enough to cease this
staring at once!’
¢ I'he other replied:
* You keep your mouth, will you?”
The viscount, setting his teeth, ex
imed:
“Take care, sir; you may compel mu

The suranger uttered only one wora—

There was a great silence, Then 1

Yiscount had slajped his adversary’
face, Everybody jnmped up to inter

After the viscount returned home tha

les, thinking, keeving his eyes still
ized upon the ecard. A race arose
within him aguiost that bit of paper—
a fury of hate mingled with a strange
sense of uneasivess, It was a stupid
mess, all this affaur! He seized an open
penknife lying beside him, and jabbed
it into the mildie of the printed name,
as if he were stabbing somebody,

He exclaimed:
“I must be firm. He will be afraid”
Tne sound of his own vo ¢s made him
start, and he looked around him. He
folt very nervous. Ho drank another
glass of water, and began to undress in
order to go to bed.
As soon as he got into bed, he blew
out the light and ciosed his eyes,
Ho thonght: *1 have the whole day
to-morrow to arrange my affairs, The
best thing I can do is to take a good
sleep to settle my nerves,”
He felt very warm between the sheets;
and still he could not sleep. Ho turned
over and over, and remained for tive
minutes on his back, then for five
minutes on his right side; then he rolled
over on his left side,
He felt thirsty sgain. He got up for
as drink, Then a new anxiety came
upon him:
‘Is it possible that I would be afraid?
Why did his heart start to beating so
wildly at the least little familiar noise
mn his room? When the clock was about
to strike, the click of the little spring
rising up caused him a violent start,
and he felt such a weight at his hears
for several moments that he had to
open his mouth in order te breathe.
He began to reason with himsel! op
the possibility of the thing:
“Am I really afraid?”
No, certainly; how could a man be
afraid since he was firm'y resolved to
carry out the affair to the very end,
since he was fully decided to fight, aud
not to tremble, Dut he feit so pr»
foundly disturbed inwardly that he
kept saking himself:
“Can a man become afraid in spite of
himself,”
And this doubt, this suspicion, this
terror grew npou him; suppose that a
force more powerful than us will, an
irresistible avd mastering foroe stionld
overpower him, what would happen?
O! course he would appear on the
ground, as he had made up his mind to
do so. Yes; but what would happeu?
What if he should be afraid? Waat i
he should faint? And he began to think
of his position, of hus reputation, of kis
usa,
And a strange desire suddenly seiz d
him to get up and look at himself in the
glass, He relit bis candle, When he
saw his visage reflected in the mirror,
he could hardly recogwizs himself; and
it seemed as if he had never seen
himself before His eyes looked enor-
mous and he was pale—ocertainly he
was pale, very pale indeed!
He stood there In front of the mirror
He put out his tongue as il to certfy
the state of his health; and all at once
this thought shot shreugh him like »
bullet:
“The day after to-morrow, at this very
hour, perhaps I shall be deadl”
And his heart began to thump again,
funiously.
“The day after to-morrow I shall,
perhaps, Le dead, This un here
before me; this ‘1’ that I see in this
glass will be mo more, What! here I
am. 1 looked at myself; 1 felt that I
live, and in twenty-four hours I will be
iying in that bed—dead, with eyes
closed-—oold, inanimate, gone from the
world of the living.”
He turved to look at the bed; and be
distinot.y saw himself lying there under
the very same covers he had jast left
His face had the hollowness of a dad
face; his bands had the limpness of
bands that will never move again,
Ther he became afraid of his bed;
and, in order to escape it, he went into
bis smoking room. He took a»
mechanically, lighted it, and to
walk ap snd dowa again. He feit cold,
he started to ring the bell in order to
swaken his valet.-de-chamber; bat stop-
ped suddenly, even while his hand was
raised to grasp the bell-cord,
“That man would see that I am

And he did not riog. He made thy
fire himself, His hands shook a little,
with nervous trembl ng, whenever they
touched anytning His mind wandered,
his thoughts began to fly in eonf
brusque, painfal; a sort of drunkenness
came u him, as if he had been swal-

80 perfect that a ship of some twenty-
five hundred tons may be loaded n a
day. In the engine room are two en-
gines of sixty horse power each, steam
being supplied by three hoilers. The
engines pump water into two sccumu-
be
ground pipes to the elevator, which it
will raise with a load of 120 tons on it
300 pounds per square inch.
In a recent letter on the subject of
continuous car heating, Prof. Lanza
makes the statement that, according to
experiments thus far, only a small per.
centage of the steam generated by a lo-
comotive is required for heating pur.
poses in this line. The pipe supplying
the steam from the engine should not,
he says, be less than one and one-lalf
inches in diameter, while that of the
radiating pipes in the cars should
be two inches; the con.
nections between the cars should be
rubber, as all metal joins will leak in
course of time, however careful the
original workmanship may have been.
Again, direct steam must be used,
all plans for effectively employing the
exhaust in this way having failed.
The principal difficulty met with on
introducing this system, was to get rid
but satisfactory traps are now
plied.
The difference in the vield of leather
characterizing various hides, as stated
by a recent writer on the subject, is
very marked. Upper leather hides
will, it is calculated, yield from 72 to
80 per cent. of leather, foot measure-
ment. Plump hides have little gpread,
but give a good split, spready hides
being the reverse of this. Green
salted sole leather hides from the stock
yards yield at least 70 per cent. dry
salable leather for each 100 pounds of
hide. Texas and native steers,
short-haired, plump, summer ocondi-
tion, give from 75 to 80 per cent. in
acid sole, and about 60 per cent. for
non-acid; but the Colorado hides,
being more spready, do ngt turn out
quite #0 well as the Texas. Dry hides,
if plump and not weighted with lon
trim, should yield 150 per cent. aci
sole leather to each 100 pounds of dry
hide, some tanners reaching 160
pounds.
