Prairie Dogs.
Tho ureal prairie city is situated on
both sides oi llio railroud, three miles
went of Poller BUition, and i'M miles
wcbtof Omuha. Thia city issonamed
from a succoKsion of sand hills, a foot
in hcigiit by two feet in diameter, laid
out in regular rows, at equal distance
apart, huving main and cross streets
interviewing blocks, covering a space
ol ground one milu wide by two miles
long, mid so arranged and bu'll by
those curious and remarkable animals
of the pluins, known as prairie dogs.
Kach of those hills or bounes bus an
opening at the ton, leading into a sub

other chiiuncls from neighboring
houses and it is natural to infer that

When they are attacked, they descend
suddenly down tho ojicning in the rool
f their bouses, and in an excited and

Now, the lively littlo gray-haired
woman who was tbe recipient of the
above missive, pur.rlcd over it a long
time to know what to think of the
writer ; and at lusl bor conclusion on
this point was mado very evident by
the hearty, good-natured laugh she in
dulged in.
lion t be shocked, my sensitive read
ers, into supposing that this little
woman who liau years enough to
know better waa lauging through
sheer hetirllessness at tho imagined
grief of the young Mrs. Mabel Atlicr-
lon, winch tounu expression in her
letter, with its doep fringe, of mourn
ing.
Ay, that was it "imagined grief: ,
for the lively little gray-haired woman
of filty Mrs. Sitno Fleming hud seen
enough of the world in all ita phases,
and had within her own life cnouirh
of ita experiences, to know that tne
grief of a girl (the old lady's words,
my dear mends) ot twenty-one or
two, when of more than three or four
months , or well, say at the utmost, a
ear a duration, are but the pervert
foibles of a silly brain or monoma
nia of a disordered intellect.
Remember, this wise little woman
hsd reference Only to those griefs
which seek outward manifestation and
outward sympnthy. To be Bare, there
are griefs whiuh lay their lender touch
over all the elemenlB of the heart and
hoad, breathing a gentler hush over
tho spirit, and tinging with a golden
glow of quiet, peaceful submission ev
ery lineament of lite ; these aie too
holy for utterance too pure for con
tact with the outer world too gentle
and sincere to find sympathy in aught
but tho quiol whispering of their own
memory, and too full of heaven's mer
cies to iiervert a life from ita heaven-
,t an mutiny. ,
She had such a gnei, niuaen ironi
the world s iew, ana it was cover
perceived in her face by those who
were curious aooul lu Alter a nappy
union of fiva vears. her husband.whom
she had loved with all the devotion of
a true and faithful heart, was taken
from her. That was twenty years ago.
and alio, too, might have aat berwlf
down in idleness, and lritterca ner
years away in oeltlinh repining, but
lor the needs that lorceti ner to lorgci
bcr griefs in severe struggles with the
world i but even now, wnen suo sat
in the trvilitilit, with a peaceful calm
in her faoo, bcr eyes were looking
through tltcshndov.-s.snd her thoughts
were wanderinp; down cobweuuea ana
dust- begrimed vitas, to that golden
period of her existence w ben be wan-
dered with her.
She bud never married since." She
bolieved, too, in l.er good, generons
heart, that Mabel Atherlnn had such
a quirt, sense of loss in bor heart as
we have described above, and it was
not at il sho was laughing ; but at the
tnUegriof, tbe imagined duty lo mourn
loudly, and to wear bor sorrow "on
her sleeve for daws to peck at.
Al any rate, the young widow re
ceived the desired assurance of seclu
sion, and duly found herself, on her
arrival at Mrs. rieming s, cuspra in
the Isdv's amis, and creeled with a
warm kiss, which made her recipro
cato these friendly advances with more
animation than she hnd expressed in
any act for a long tuno previous.
These two hnd nevor met before,
but tho Widow Fleming had been the
dearest friend of Matiel Atherton's
mother. This bond al once made
them fust friends, and Mabel waa made
to feel thnt she was sincerely welcome
at this country home.
During the first days of licr Blay at

leiuini; s, the sweet, nu-m-ru
little form, wnippeu in sublo balili-j
ments or mourning, witlJ nol a vcsiige
of whito to roliuve it, gavo herself
over a prey to herchronio melancholy,
and utt during tho long days and
evenings in a lethargy of hopelessness,
looking with expressionless) eyes and
face into the future, or, if speaking,
sending a grave-like chill with every
word, and wardering off as soon as
possible into her panegyrics over
the dead, or tuking joyless views ol
the futnro, with much the same resl
that one indulges in a good dinner
with indigestion lurking behind it.
You have aeon such people, my
friends, and no doubt have thought
as I do, that it is the most extreme
selfishness to humanity and thankless-
noss to heaven thus lo wrap one's self
in the shroud of one s own griebt and
expect all tho world to abandon their
duties and mourn also.
Mabel Athertnndid not realize this;
but somehow, Mrs. Kleminghsd a way
of dropping in at the moments when
sho felt the most deapairing.and exor
cising these sable spirits, by drawing
her thouirhts away to plcasantcrclinn
ncls, and making her forget herself in
tho cares, hones and iovs of others.

"Mabel," Mrs. Fleming said to the
yonng widow, one. d:iy, "you must
find the constant company of an old
woman like tne very tiresome. A
nu irt ber cf my young friends are anx
ious to manifest their sympathy for
you, and 'o lend boido little enjoy
mont to your stay among ua; and I
have almost decided to have a social
gathering of them hero, soma after
noon." "O, auntie!" (for she hsd learned to
call tha old lady thus) "the bare men
tion ol such a purpose is perfectly
shocking, and for mv to consent to it
would be sacrilege to the dear memory
of my lost treasure."
'But you roust have some enjoy.

Enjoyment ! the word is dreadful
to my eur. There is no enjoyment
lor mo in this world, for my file is
buried In the grave with my suintod
James, and I beg the world lo forget
me, as all in it but me have forgotten
biiu. I want no consolation but bis

during thesa three years."
"The more need that yon should
change at onoe," dryly responded the
old lady.
"Your words terrify me. I can
novcr forget my lost one."
"Neither should yoa. But while
wo grieve tenderly over the departed
we should remember that our lives
are not urns in which their ashoa
should bo deposited. We have our
duties in life as well as they had, and
their removal does not absolve ns
from them, but rather raises op new
obligationa to thoir fulfillment. No
one can live within bimselt or herself
and do their duty to mankind and
heaven. Neither is it best that we
should ever force upon all who come
in contact with na tbe aenso ol oar

Bethink you, how long we would sub

wound, should tear it ojien to all, that

"And 1 will wear deepest mourning
for him all my life, to prove that there
ia one who can cling to one object
through life and never aeck another."
Tbe subject waa dropped, and the
young people were not invited to come
to "Aunt Fleming's."
The young widow had found a quiet,
sober retreat down by a wooded
stream, and here she wandered overy
day, and in the solitude indulged in
her pet melancholy.
Oue day Mrs. Fleming was surprised
and alarmed to sco her return from
one of those visiu to her retreat, lean
ing heavily on the arm of young
man. It was evidont that aomeihing
had be.tillen her; for sho was very
pale and almost speechless, a id the old
lady hastened to relieve the young man
of bis burden and lead her to the couch.
The young man was already known
to Mrs Fleming as Et nee t McClelland,
tho physician, and in reply to her
look of inquiiy ho oxplalntd the cause
of Mabel's helplessness. It seemed
that while passing along -the road be
had been attracted by her screams,
and going to her assistance, had found
tliut nor alarm was occasioned by a
harmless snake, which had mado its
appearance from some dead loaves
near which alio was seated. After
dispatching the Brake, he saw that
sha was rendered so powerless by her
alarm that she needed bis assistance
to reach the house.
Mabel had, by the time this recitsl
was made, recovered from her fright
sufficiently to mako an effort to con
vince Mra. Fleminir that Dr. McClol-
htnd had not dono himself justice for
all iho bravery he hsd displnyed, in
saving her from what she believed
must otherwise havo terminated in a
dreadful doalh. Her expressions of
irralilude to him were warm and sin

"She felt that be was tho savior of

"And," the old lady remarked, "do

"Yes, her eternal gratitude."
"Sho knew hi in," the old lady said,
to be a good young man."
"A noble man." Mabel thonirht.
"He was worthy to be received as
a friend," Mrs. Fleming continued."
"He was a genuine hero," Mabel
was convinced.

old lady, with a very sanctimonious
fuoe. "Have you forgotten that there
is no enjoyment for you in this world.
and that your life is buried in the
grave of your lost treasure V
iow. anntie, your insinuation ia
very cruel," murmured the widow, in
a hurt tone and with tears in her eyes.
"I have never ceased to mourn for my
great bereavement. Dr. McClelland
is different from any one else, and I
am sure that poor Jamea, if be were
alive, would extend to him big warm
est friendship for bia kind attentions
to me "
"Then he would be very generons.
The young man's visits are very fre
quent." "That is because our residence is
on his way borne from visiting bia
patients in tbo neighborhood."
"Ah ! disease must bave become
very prevalent without my knowl
edge. I remember that bafore that
snake adventure of j ours bis profes
sional duties did not call hi in this way
more than once iu every two or three
weeks."
"It is very compassionate in him to
call ao frequently to learn if we are all

cious "
"That be can devote tbe half of
everyday loour humble selves," dryly
put in the old lady.
-Sow, auntio, I am sure 1 should

fright, but for bis care and kindness."
"I agree, darling, that his couree of

"Of course"
And Mabel went awsy satisfied that
the dear old auntie did rcalico bow '
good, noblo, and disinterested the
young doctor waa, tnongn, lor the
moment, alio imagined there was a
slight tinge of sarcaotn In that last ut
terance of hers. She bad been afraid
that the old lady might think aho was
too much in company with the young
man, and that ab was forgetting the
one whom she mourned for; indeed,
unwelcome thoughts, to the effect that
she really was forgetting him, some
times intrudod themselves, but not so
often now as formerly. She was
silencing them, for she knew that
Ernest JHcUlcliuuu would never,
never presume to be more to her than
ber dearest living friend, and that bor
good, buried James was more precious
lo her than ever oeiore.
And thus having aatlsried the old
ladr and quieted her own conscience.
she thought it was only right lo make
amends lor her miserable doubt) ab )ot
the doctor bv leaning more heavily
on bis arm and looking np more con-
fidingly into his eyes, that shone down
on her with such a warm light. It
was natural that he should pass his
arm around her to help ber over the
marshy places, and as natural tbat bo
should retain it there, only with I
closer pressure lest she might take
cold If it wore removed, I suppose.
Strange to sav, tho buried James was
so satisfied with this bold proceeding
on the part of the daring doctor that
he did not ariso from ibe grave to for
bid it ; and, of Course, after this proof
of her dead idol's acquiescence, Mabel
oobld not find heart lo ohiect.
Tbo following morning, Mabel mani
fested a good deal of trepidation about
something, tho natureof which Mrs.
Fleming could not aivmc lor a mo
ment. "Auntie:"
"1 ara listening, darling."
"Do too think there wonld he sny
barro in bit wearing white cuffs aiii
collar?"
"None In tbe least, my c'jild j nor
if you went further and discarded1
mourning altogether."
"Gracious! auntie, yon shock me'
fearfully."
"As 1 did a number of ecks ago,
when I proposed thai yon should pot
on while collar. But, Mabel, I am
dying with curiosity to know what
good influenco has been at work to
occasion this quory of yours.'
"1 I look so fearfully horrid id
deep mourning, with nothing to re
lievo it-"
"And it haa taken yoa three yoars
to find that out?" .
"And and Ernest thinks I ought
to wear mourning all the timo."
During tbe cross oxsmination of A
witness lie was asked where his tut her
was, to which question, with A liiclaii
cholv air, he responded :
"Dead, sir, dropped off very snddert
ly.sir." "Ho a; come- ho lo drop off so sud
denly," was the noxl question.
"foul play; the sheriff imposed on
