XII i: CI.I31C I LOVE.
O, giro me the South, with Its orange blooms,
And Its shade of tender bine.
With Its waving trees and beautiful birds,
That warble tlio wholo day through.
Tho Ice-clad hills of tho breesy North,
And the sleigh-bells' merry chime,
Will do for a day when tho sun is bright,
At tho dawn of Ch rlstmas time.
But beautiful buds that bloom for aye,
On tho banks of a summer sen,
Is the clime for me, when the waves roll on
With their ceaseless melody.
And maidens with eyos oi dusky brown,
That melt like a liquid flame,
To stir my pulse, with their hearts so shy
They tremble at lore's sweet name.
POUR L0VE LETTERS.
"Little Juanlto, you, of all others in tho
world, are tho one that ought to laugh I
Now, I Insist on knowing what It is that
makes you cry j"
Gerald Knighton bent, with a kind, ca
ressing touch, over Juanita Vano s soft
brown curls nnd Juanita, always inclined
to play the part of clinging Ivy to soma one
else's oak, caught instantaneously at his
proffered sympathy.
Sho was a glittering-eyed creature, with
a sweet, scarlet mouth, hiding dimples in
each check, and a rich bloom like tho side
of a nectario ono of those wild, tropic
beauties, that remind one of the moonlight
plazas of Havana, or the solemn Alham-
brai of the East. And Gerald Knighton
loved and petted her as If sho hod been a
pretty child.
"I wouldn't think of marrying, her," he
was wont to say to his sister Genevieve,
"any moro than I should think of marry
ing a sunbeam, or caging a humming bird t
But she is a sort of a 'sixteenth cousin of
ours, you know, bo that I can pot her as
much as 1 please."
Upon this particular occasion sho lifted
her dusky, silk-lashed oyes to Gerald's faco,
full ol pleading light.
"Oh, Gerald, I wish I dared tell you."
"Dared t That's a curious word to uso to
mc. Out with it, little one."
"You know about Charles ?"
"I know you oro going to be married to
Charles Martiland, in six weeks, if you
don't quarrel with him beforehand, which
is moro than likely."
"And, perhaps," hesitated Juanita, "you
remember n little, fi-ny llirtation I once
had with Harry Franltficld "
Knighton nodded coolly.
"But wo differed, nnd Harry sent mo
back my letters, by Natalia Wynfordj but
Natalie made ono excuse and another, and
never restored them. And now, even after
all these tbrco years," added Juanita, with
an hysterical catch in her voice, "sho has
turned against me, and threatened to show
them to Mr. Martiland and break of our
engagement. And Charley Martiland is
so jealous, and '
"Is there anything in these letters that
you have any causa to fear t" Gerald asked
gravely.
'No, of course, not j but I was a silly
school girl of fifteen, and wrote all sorts of
gushing nonsense, that I would blush at
now, and I tfiii fancy myself desperately in
love with Harry's blonde moustache and
greenish blue eyes. And Charley might
not stop to take into consideration what a
child I was, and1
"Does Mis3 Wynford refuse to return the
letters?"
"Yes."
Gerald knit his brows thoughtfully.
"Can't you send a lawyer after them t"
"Oh, I dare not I That would givo alto
gather too much publicity to the affair."
"Would you like tne to get them for you,
NitaJ"
Sho clasped her hands together with
low, quivering cry.
"Oh, Gerald, but you can't."
"Do you think so, little one t Well, we
will at least make a try for it,'
And Gerald Knighton resumed his cigar,
looking contemplatlvo away into distance,
while Juanita went back to her rose cur
tained boudoir, with a heart as light as any
feather.
"Because," she said, to herself, "Gerald
can always do anything he chooses."
Miss Natalie Wynford sat in her own
room, before a desk strewn with papers of
various sorts a plumplock sort of woman
after the leopardess pattern, with sleepy
greenish eyes, hair thick and soft as black
velvet, and full scarlet li)s. She wore
crimson silk dressing-wrapper bordered with
gorgeous Persian palm leaves, and her
plump lingers sparkled with rings.
"Why are you disturbing mo.J" she de
manded, looking sharply around, as a light
step hesitated upon the threshold. "Didn'
I tell you I wanted to be left to myself for
tbe next hour I"
"Please, Miss Natalie, there's a foreign
looking woman down stairs," began th
maid.
"I don't care If there were forty foreign
woman. Do go offand leave me to myself."
Mlgart hesitated. The supple joints off
her tongue had been oiled with a little o
the elixir of gold, and she was loth to aban
don tho pursuit,
"But, Miss Natalie, if you'd just see her
one minute) She's got a lot of lo rely real
lace at a bargain, as she's telling to real
ladies, as the knows she may depend on not
to get her iuto trouble. She's got a brother
in the ooastlrfg business between here and
France, and it's really worth your while to
look at the laces. ' Real Melchin, miss, and
Valenciennes as soft and yellow as cream
and one piece of round point, miss, fit for
duchess."
Natalio's strong vissgo relaxed. What
woman ever yet was able to resist the at
traction of real lace at a bargain 7
"Well," ahe hesitated, "send her up here,
I'll look at her wares, at all events. That
won't cost anything."
And Mlgart hurried down stairs, with
the pleasing consciousness that she bod
earned her douceur.
" You're to walk up," the said to the tall
awkward foreign woman, who sat on the
hall chair, resting her chin on the handle
of her basket, "Miss will look at what
you've got to sell."
"What a strange looking creature 1'
thought Natalie Wycfonl, as tbe figure
I strode in, with a careless, swinging motion,
with tbe face all tlod up and a complexion
as dark as a gypsy's. "Well, I supjioso

"Laces, my lady, at a bargain," answered
the woman, In a curious, drawling accent.
Sho opened tbe flat leather case that sho
carried, revealing a closely-packed mass of
lace, such as might gladden the heart of
an old connoisseur.
Natalie Wynford was only a woman, and
for the tlma being she forgot all else as she
knelt on tho floor, amid tho filmy, creamy
folds, with Mlgart bending over her, clasp
ing her hands, nnd uttering Utile monosyl
labic exclamations at every new pattern ol
Valenciennes or olgo of Honitonj tho
dark, furtive eyes of tha foreigner were si
lently nnd swiftly scanning everything in
the room, until at last they fell on a small,
embroidered wall-packet, hanging close to
tho window, out of which peeped a little
roso-colorcd packet, tied with a faded pink
ribbon a packet whose outside sheet boro
tho straggling handwriting of Juanita Vane.
"I beg your pardon," tho woman sudden-
uttered, in a coarse, repressed voico,
hut I leel faint. May I ask for a glass of
water? May I venture to open tho win
dow ?"
Mlgart rushed for the water. Natalie
turned sharply around.
"Where's my cologno-boltlo ?" said she.
I hate scenes."
In the meantime tho tall, foreign woman
had opened tho window, and leaned, one
moment heavily against tho wall.
"It's all over now," she said. 'Tardon I
is only a vertigo. I am sorry to hnyo
alarmed you. Will you please make a se
lection, and I promise you tho prico will
suit,"
Natalie Wynford smiled complacently as
tho door closed behind the traveling yonder.
"I don't think she had any Idea at all of
tho valuo of her wares," said she. "And do
you know, Migart, I half suspected, onco
or twice, it was a man in disguise."
"Oh, miss."
"It isn't so very unlikoly. You know
they run a great deal of risk by this sort of
business ; but it's noting to me, one way or
the other, so long as I get superb lace at ono
quartecit's value."
And Miss Natalie Wynford returned lo
tho making up of her account, well pleased
with herself and tho rest of tho world.
And it was not until nearly a week after
ward, when incensed at Juanita Vano'a de
liberate defiance; she went to her wall
packet to take out the four love-letters, that
she discovered they were gone gone, utter
and Irrevocably gone without the shadow
of a doubt. And Miss Wynford could only
lay it to magic.
From the Wynford door-stone tho foreign
woman went straight to tho residence of
Mr. Gerald Knighton, where the presently
issued, changed into a tall, six-footed speci
men of masculinity, and proceeded, leisure
ly smoking a cigar, to Juanita.
Hero are your letters, Nita. Four of
them, I bolieve."
Juanita clutched eagerly at them, with
crimsoned cheeks and sparkling eyes.
"Oh, Gerald, how did you ever get
them,?"
"I havo more ways and means than you
dream of, little one. Now, what aro you
going to pay for them a kiss?"
Twenty thousand, if you want, dear,
dear Gerald."
And the impulsive little fairy clung about
him, sprinkling his brow and cheeks with a
tender dew of kisses.
'Ob," sho cried, when at last she was
forced to desist to take breath. "How I
shall enjoy defying that dragon of a Na
talie."
"Do you want a sword to pierce her
through V
"I don't understand you, Gerald."
"Ask her, tho next opportunity, how she
likes lior last bargainjln laces."
Juanita, didn't quite comprehend; but
she had the lesson to heart, and smilingly
put tho question to Miss Wynford, When
next they met, in a full dress ball.
Natalie started, turned very red, and bit
her lip. Sho was quick at putting two and
two together, and sho saw it all now.
"Was was it Gerald Knighton?" the
asked hoarsely.
"Really, I don't understand your mean
ing," said Juanita saucily.
She did't care for Natalie s black looks,
now that she was out of her power ; and
taking Charles Martiland's arm, sho floated
away with a gtanco of triumphant defiance,
that entered like a barbed arrow into1 Na
talie's soul.
"Between them, they have outwitted
me 1" Natalie Wynford muttered between
her set teeth.

Tho other night about ten o'clock, a con
stable, who was walking up Maple street on
business, was halted by a weak looking man
who was a bit agitated. The officer sus
pected a family row, but it didn't turn out
that way.
Tbe little man asked him to step around
the corner and takealookatacertaln house
and the officer stepped. It was an unocu
pied house, and as they halted before it the
citizen said t
"It is my humble opinion that there is no
family In here, and that a water pipe has
bursted. I dislike very much to see any
one's property damaged,!! I can prevent it,
Sure enough, there was two feet of water
In the cellar, and more rushing in
"It is my humble opinion," remarked the
little man, as the two looked through the
cellar window, "that tome thief has cut off
the pipe and tho drain is stopped up. Per
haps you don't wan't to sea this property
damaged ?"
Tho constable didn't. In his philanthro
py he decided to open tbe drain, and the
little roan having procured a candle; the
officer waded In water up to his knees!
poked around for ten minutes with a elicit,
and finally opened the drain
"Now then, it is my humble opinion that
we ought to plug up the pipe," observed the
little man
And the officer drove a plug Into It at the
exjicnse of a shower bath which wet him all
over
"A good Job a good Job I" chuckled tbe
citizen; "but, seeiug that you aro certain to
be down in the morning; it Is my humble
opinion that you had better call at the wa

Sax FitANCisoo's New Joss House.
Al No. S12 Pine street there Is near com
pletion a two story building tho architecture
of which causes considerable comment from
observers, ll is a new Cliincso Joss house.
It Is built of brick, is 40 feet high, 40 feet
deep and IT feet in width. Tho lop is sur
mounted with heavy Iron castings. The
front wall for eight feet abovo the sidewalk
is of iron, stuccoed. Thocnrnico is of heavy
Roman galvanized iron. There is but ono
entrance to the building on r'ne street. Tho
casings of tho door and tho two windows
each Bide of It are of solid iron two feet six
inches in thickness. The door, as tho shut
ters of tho windows, are also of thick Iron.
Tho upper story is divided into rooms, and
will bo used as reception rooms for visitors
of social and official importance. There is
but ono window on this floor, which also has
heavy iron casing and shutters. Over tho
front door is a marble slab, upon which Is
Inscribed in gilt a number of Chinese charac
ters, underneath which is engraved in Eng
lish "Kong Chow Asylum." The slab is of
whito Italian marble, 3 J by 71 feet, and said
to be the largest iu the City, its cost being
$160. Tho lot upon which tho building is
erected was tho first piece of real estate pur
chased by Chinese in Ban Francisco. The
building was to bo complctcd'by thelGth
inst, but not being finished all labor will bn
suspended until after tho conclusion of tho
festivities, which will begin therin to-morrow
evening, and partake of a nature similar
to our National Thanksgiving. . This festival
is of ancient origin among tho Mongolians,
there being from eight to ten days set opart
every three years in which, with fasting,
they return thanks to their Joss for prolon
gation of life and prosperity. Tho Informa
tion was furnished lo a reporter of the
Chronicle yesterday by a Chinaman who
spoke very good English, and who said fur
ther that the building was erected by China
men from the Kong Chow District, and
would be tho boss Joss house on tho coast.
When asked what was meant by the word
asylum he said it would bo a safe place to
deposit the bodies of the dead until they
were shipped to China. Also that the lead
ing men of the Kong Chow district would
meet there to subscribe for their indigent
poor and sick. Tho cost of tho building,
when completed, will bo $3,500. The China
man described an incident which occurred
yesterday morning on tho premises. Ho
said : "This place is not quite Icady yet, but
we must havo big time, so I tink I put can
vas over to keep lain out. Then woman
who live in next house complain to police,
an officer ho command say, 'you put tin roof
over all, or you bo 'rested. No allow you to
have canvas roof.' That cause very much
trouble, and lots time and money, and this
woman put her head out of the window and
clapped her hands, and sho fall out and got
hurt pretty bad. You understand why she
L fall out? I tell you ma have a good time
here, all the same American Thanksgiving
for 16 year. Nobody make any complaint,
God came down, push her out window,
Maybe break her neck. Ought to,any how.'"
Upon soeing the reporter smile at his inter
pretation of the accident, he continued :
" You no believe God do that ? I tell you.
One limo in China Chinaman knock Joss
head off. That Chinaman die in three days,
Sho got no right to say Chinaman shan't
havo his church. Chinaman might as well
go and knock down Christian church. All
a-samo." San Franscico Chronicle, Dec 19.
THE TEUIlintiE; SENSATION OF
RtnVNING AMUCK.
During a recent Mohammedan festival at
Kandahar, a capital of Southern Afghanis
tan, a number of mounted Chazis, as they
are named, ran amuck through the British
camp. General Taylor and several British
soldiers were wounded, and four of tho
Chazis were killed. Running amuck is one
of the terrors of tho East, but Is far less
common than it formerly was. Originally
a Malay custom, it has extended to other
customs in which the Mohammedan creed is
prevalent. Tho word amuck is acorruptlon
of the word amoak, Japanese, to kill, and
the thing is simply a miscellaneous, Indis
criminate killing. The natives of thos?i
Eastern lands become, from long continued
excessive use of opium, ferociously frantic.
auu lueir irouzy is uiicn inicnsuieu Dy re
ligious franticism. Then, absolutely mad'
they rushed into the streets frequently
nudo cursing, biting and stabbing, with
knives which they always carry, whomso
ever they encounter. They are dreadful to
see and slill mora dreadful to meet. Thsy
look animated very animated corpses,
their features being pinched and sharpened,
their skin drawn like parchtnent,their eyes
glittering with fierce Insanity, and their en
ergy bent on slaughter. As many as forty
persons have been killed by them before
they could be overcome. Their appearance
is tho signal for general alarm. Everybody
seises the first weapon be can reach, and
sallies forth to hunt down and exterminate
the common foe. Of course there is no reas
oning with them, no way of intimidating
them. They must be killed for the
general safety, and tbey are killed as soon
as possible. Long spears used to be em
ployed altogether as weapons against them
and theyare still employed being thrown
at or thrust into them until they expire.
Fire-arms are now the offensive weapons
when these are safe ; but in the narrow,
crowded streets of tbe East this is not often
the case. Nothing is so formidable as an
amuck-runner, and it it not strange that he
Is mercileisly slain. The Malays, owing to
their ferocity, treachery and daring, are tho
most dreaded of all, especially when thoy
are armed with tbe dagger or creese, tbeir
native weapon, with which they have
deadly tkill,and which makes a terrible and
very dangerous wound. A European or
American who has seen an amuck it very
apt to remember It.

HOW A LOME STAR I.nVKR MANAGED TO FRO
roSE TO HIS (JIM,.
They manage Ihcso things differently In
Texas. This is how a fond couple came to
an understanding, according to one who
pretends to know. He sits on ono side of
tho room in a big whito rocking chair; she
on tho other sido in a little white oak rock
ing chair. A long-cared deer hound is by
his side, a basket of sewing by hers. Bntli
the young peoplo rock incessantly. Ho
sighs heavily nnd looks out of tho west win
dow nt a myrtlo troo; she sighs lightly nnd
gazes out of tho cast window nttho turnip
patch. At last he remarks:
"This Is mighty good weather for cotton
picking."
"Tis that," tho lady responds, "If wo on
ly had somo to pick."
Tho rocking continues.
"What's your dog's name?" asks she.
"Coony." Another sigh-broken stillness.
"What's he good for?"
" W hat's ho good for ?" says he, abstracted
"Your dog, Coony."
"For kctching 'possums."
Silcnco for half an hour.
"Ho looks liko a deer hound ?"
"Who looks like a deer hound."
"Coony."
"He is, ho's sort o' bellowsod, an' gcttin'
old an' slow, au' he ain't no 'count on a cole
trail."
In tho quiet ten minutes that ensues sho
takes two stitches in her quilt, a gorgeous
affair made after tho pattern called "Rosa
of Sharon."
"Your ma raising many chickens?"
"Forty odd."
Then moro rocking, nnd somehow the
big rocking chair and the little rocking chair
are jammed sido by side, and rocking is Im
possible.
"Makin' quilts?" ho observes.
"Yes," she replies, brightenlng"iip, for sho
is great on quilts. "I've just finished a
gorgeous 'Eagle of Brazil,' a 'Setting Sun,'
and a 'Nation's rride.' Have you ever saw
tho 'Yellow Roso of tho Prairie ?' "
"No."
Moro silence. Then ho says:
"Do you love cabbage ?"
"I d that."
Presently his hand is accidentally placed
on hers, of which sho does not seem to bo
at all aware. Then he suddenly says:
"I'se a great mind to bite you."
"What havo you a great mind lo bite mo
for?"
"Kaso you won't havo me."
"Kaso you ain't axed mo."
"Well, now, I ax you."
"Then now I has you."
Coony dreams ho hears a sound of kissing,
and next day tho young man goes after a
marriago license.

"Elizabeth Almira," he said, leaning back"
In his chair with both hands pressing tho
place where ho felt bad "Elizabeth Almira,
with your 10 children and your rheumatics,
do you wish to prod me on to getting a di
vorce ? Do you want to exasperate tomad
ness the husband of your tender youth? Do
you, woman, fairly hanker after bloodshed
and the gall of bitterness and such like?
Then, Elizabeth Almira, why do you sit
there coolly telling that you didn't ask ma
to eat that second piece of minoe pie? I
know you didn't, and that's just tho tender
point; that's where tbe blister is located.
A woman with the gentlo sentiments en
gendered by years of unruffled matrimonial
felicity should know better. If you only
had coaxed me to do it, I'd a felt better.

He was a nico young man with cane,
high hat and patent leather boots. Ho
strolled leisurely down Fourth avenue, puf
fing daintily upon a cigarette, and occasion
ally twirling the waxed ends ofhls mos-
tache. Uo was accosted by a stout woman
with a florid complexion. "Top of tha

'Good morning, Mrs. McGuinness," said
the nico young man. "Mo darllnt boy,

that it was leap year rushed upon him. Ho
answered: "Madam -really I can't I

affections have already been bestowed upon
another aud madam I can't I can't

a dollar, and walked sadly away.
Keep tho Ilody Erect.
An erect bodily attitude is of vastly mora
importance to health than most people im
agine. Crooked bodily positions, if main
tained any length of time, are always In
jurious, whether in the sitting, standing or
lying posture, whether sleeping or waking.
To ait with tbe body leaning forward on
the stomach, or to one sido, with the heela
elevated on a level with tbe head, It not
only in bad taste, but very detrimental to
health. It cramps the stomach, presses Iho
vital organs, interrupts the free motions of
the chest, and enfeebles tho functions of tha
abdominal and thoracic organs, and, in-
fact, unbalances the whole muscular system
Many children become slightly hump
backed, or severely round shouldered by
sleeping with the head raised on a high pil
low. When any person finds It is easier to
sit or stand or walk or tleep iu a crooked,
position than a straight one, such a person
may b sure bis muscular system is badly
deranged, and tbe more careful he is to pre
serve a straight or upright position again,
the better.
