THE BOYS.
"The bovs aro coming homo to-morrow,"
Thus our rural hosleu said I
While Lou and I exchanged quick glances,
Full of mingled fear and dread.
Hail wo hither come for quiet,
Hither lied tho city's noise,
But to change It or the riot
Of thosoT horrid country boys?
Waking one with loud hallooing
Early every summer's day,
Shooting robins, teasing kittens,
Frighioniug the wrens away,
I wrold thesa lines ono happy summer;
To-day, I smile to read them o'er,
Remembering bow with anxious faces.
We watched ull day tho opening door,
The came, "the boys," six feet in stature,
Graceful, easy, polished men :
I vowed to Lou, behind my knitting,
To trust no mother's word again.
For boyhood Is a thing Immortal,
As each fond muthcr will agree ;
And sons nre "boys" to her forever,
Change as they may to you und me.
Now hy lho window, still and sunny,
Warmed by the rich October glow,
The dear old lady waits and watches
Just as she Waited years ago.
For Lou and I are now her daughters,
We married " those two country boys'
In spite of all our sad forbojings
About their awkward ways and noise.
Lou springs up to meet a footfall,
I list no moro fur coming feet;
Mother and I are ua'tiug longer,
Fur steps on Bculah's golden street.
But when she blesses Lou's beloved,
And seals it with a tender kiss,
I know that loving words go upward,
Words to another world than this.
Always sho speaks in gentle fashion
About "my boys," she always will :
Though one is gray, and one has vanished
Beyond the reach of tiuio or ill.
A COUNTRY PARSON.
BY nELSN roltHEST GRAVES.
If JIibs Jlutly ll'.ce had yawned once
sincu breakfast, sho had yawned a score
of times; and even pretty Eveleen was
growing drowsy over her embroidery by
the window. For it was a hopelessly
rainy day in mid-October, with tho sky
veiled in durk gray mist, tbe tinted
leaves floating dowu into matted layers
of dim color around Iho columns of tho
piazza, nnd tho tn'U dahlias nearly pros
trated by tho steady down-pour. No
"walks, ' no gntheriug of ferns, mosses,
berries, in the still, delicious woods; no
Idreauiyfatublwto tho moautain-tops
unci, worst aud saddest of all, nothing to'
road.
"And I won't be deluded into working
worsteds," said Matty, "nor yet into
crowds nod Kensington btituh. Eveleeu
wOf re is that delightful littlo book that
papa wa3 reading aloud out of lust
night?"
Do yon mean the 'Itecreatlons of a
O mntry I'tirsouV'" baid Eveleon, com
paring two shades of rose-colored wool.
"If that's the name of It yes."
"He took it to the city with him,"
said Eveleen. "I saw it sticking out of
Uh coat-pocket, when he( was running
lor tne train.
"How provokingl" sighed Jlatty.clasp
ing hf-r dimpled hauds nbove her head;
when it's the book of nil books that I
should liko to read on a day like this."
"Air. Winton 1irr a copy of it,' said
Eveleen, threading a worsted-needle
with the very darkest shade of earner.
But what good will that do me?'1 said
Matty, disconsolately.
"Borrow it," suggested Eveleen. "Ev.
erybody borrows everything in a place
like this; and I'm sum Mr. Winton
would be glad to oblige you."
"But bow?" urged Matty. "The hb
tel is at least half a tnilo away.'
"Send Nora."
"Nora, iudeed! I don't suppose Nora
ever did on ernud In her life," said
Matty,
"Then it's high time she began,"
laughingly suggested Eveleen. "Write
a note, nnd "
"I'd rutber send a verbal message,"
Haid Matty, "And I wouldn't seud at all,
if I wasn't dying to rend the end of that
eiaay that papa began last night,"
Nora, deep in tbe euergetlo occupation
of blacking tin kltiheu stove, was sum
moned up stairs.
"Nora," said Matty, impressively, "I
want you to go to the hotel, You know
where the hotel is'"
"Sure an' I do, mis V said Nora, with
wide-open mouth, uud eyes of intense ut
toution. "Aud ask for Mr. Winton, and tell him
that Mias Matty Woo seUds her coincli
uients, and would like to borrow the
'Itecreatlons of a Country Poisou.''
"Yes'in," said Nora.
"You'rosure 3 on understun ?"
"Yta'in, an' why wouldn't I?" prompt
ly retorted Nora, rather nettled by this
implied asersiou on her powers of com
prehension, "And cotai.bick as quick as you can."
"Sura au' it's me that w ill," said Nora.
And presently the two sisters caught a
glimse of her stont Milesian fime. be
neath the folds of a rusty water-proof
cloak, with a mamuinth cotton umbrella
held over her head, disappearing bthiiiJ
the huge leaves of the rhododendron
hedge.
"I hope sho won't be long," said
Matty.
"Why should she?" said serene Eve
leen. And she went on composedly with tbe
pomegranate blossom that she was em
broidering, while Matty sat down to tbe
little cubluet-piano, and tried to pick out
the notes of some dreamy little refrain,
which had haunted ber ever slnoo she
beard it at tbe opera lost winter, with
Pulti smilini? on tho starve, and the full
' ofchtklr thundering Out its stialns.
1.00
liko anythlug but it wood-nymph, plasbcd
her way to tho hotel, golug a quarter of
a mile out of her road ou account of a
spotted snake, and stopping for a good
chat with a fellow-Hibernian who was on
his way to the post-olSce.
"There,' tnirt Nor.i.ns she turned away
from Teddy O'linra, "au" sure I've for
gotten the name us clauenslf I nlver had
heard It."
"Whoso name was it, nlnunn?" cousol
iugly dem.iuded Colonel Itoss' coaubm.in.
whoso suit nothings bad put tbe inosscgu
so completely out of Nora's head.
"There was something iu it about tho
'llectory of a Country Parson,' " said
Nora, twisting herself iuto thu letttrS,
with the violent attempt ut recollection
to which sho forced herself.
"There aiu't no rectory hereabouts,"
said Teddy. "Sure it ain't built yetl But
the parson he's up ou the hotel steps,
seen him there as I came bejntiL A Ull
young. giutleman, with a bight vest for
all the wurreld like Father Itockwell
au' spectacles as giutnlo as vo plaze. Is
it a message you've got for him, Nora,
mavournecn?'
"I'm to borrow hiuil" said Nora,fixing
her dull, glassy stare on Teddy O'Hara's
astonished fuca.
" borrow him?" repeated Teddy.
"Yis, 6urei" Nora answered, doggedly.
Teddy uttered a whistlo.
"It's the qnarest loan as iver I heard
of," said be. "Au if it's a fair question,
who is it wants him?"
"Miss Matty Bice's compliments," re
peated Xora, with parrot-like prompti
tude, "and sho wants to borrow thu par
son.
Teddy exploded into a laugh.
"Sure, an' if it was leap year," said be,
"I should think it meant something. I
nover heard such a message in all me born
days before. But I must make haste, or
the post will.bo too late fur me." .
Away trudged Teddy, stopping ever
and anon to laugh in dripping autumn
woods, wbile Nora kept on the hotel, all
unconsoious of the curious transforma
tion that had befallen her luckless mes
sage.
Is the parsou here?" demanded she,
shaking her umbrella until it Bent forth
a miniature, water-spout of flying drops,
and stamping tho mud off her feet ou the
steps of the mountain hotel, which was
still well-filled with guests who had ling
ered to see the splendora of the October
frosts among tho woods. "
The hotel clerk, who had just come
out to glance at tho barometer, stared at
ber; the young ladies on the wide vtran
dahgigglcd; tho stout old gentlemen,
who 'were walking up and down the
boards to gain their daily two miles of
exercise, stopped short ; and a spectacled,
grave-looking young nian, who was talk
ing with a lady just beyond, gluuced
around, as if he fancied that be were per
sonally iutercsted.
"Do you want the clergyman?" said
the hotel clerk, doubtful, yet polite.
Is it a stone-mason or a chimney-
swapo I'd be maniii', d'ye think?" retort
ed Nora, begiuning to imagine that sho
was being made game of.
"I am the clergyman," said tbe spec
tncled gentleman, stepping courteously
forward at this juncture. "Is there any
thing I can do for you?"
"Miss Matty IMce's compliments," said
Nora, without in the least abating the
shrillness of ber voice, "an' sho wants to
borrow you."
"I beg your pardpn," said Mr, Fon
taine, "but I'm not quite sure that I
understand you, my good woman?"
"I'm spakiu' tho English language,
sure," said Nora, somewhat affronted,
"She wants to borrow you."
"But what for?" said tha parson.ignor
ing the titters of the group which was
now fast gathering ou tho verandah.
"To amuse herself wid this rainy day,
said Nora. "You're to come buck wid
me, plase. I was to bring you.. Miss
Matty itice's compliments, and "
"lteally," said Mr. Fontaine, "this is
very strange."
"The Bices live in the little Swiss cot
tage by Haidino Falls," suggested the
hotel clerk. "Gentleman goes up nnd
down to tho city every day. Keeps a lit
tie pony carriage, with"

saiJ Nora. " 'The llectory,' or 'Tho

Mr. Foutaiue, hurriedly surveying the
situation in bis mind's eyu, decided that
it was better to obey this strange behest

and arming himself with a light silk nm

'mid the greut buzzing and uhiaperiug of

Miss Rice was listlessly watching Eve-
lt en's embroidery, as tbe door bouncid
open and Nnra rushed iu. exclaiming:
"Here he is! I've brongbt bi n!"
"Brought whom?" mid Matty, iu stir
prise.
"The country pardon," said Nora.
"Tbtro wasu'tuo rectory. I inquired
for it, but it wasu't built."
"What on earth is the girl talking
about?" said Matty, In amazement.
And then Mr. Fontaine walked iu,
holding his bat in his baud.
"I am the clergyman," said he. "Can
I be of any use?"
Matty colored a deep cherry-piuk,
"Ob, dear, I nm so sorry I' .he faltered,
but there is some dreadful mistake
here, I sent Nora to tho hotel to borrow
a book, aud she has brought mo back u
man!'"
"A book?" said Mr. Foutaiue.
"Yes," said Matty, trying harder and
bnider to keep back her linghter as the
oomio side of the circumstance forced
itself upon her. ' 'The Recreations of
a Conntry l'arson.' Mr. Paul Winton
has It."
Mr. Foutaine began to laugh. So did

Mr. F. O. Whitohouso contends that
tho cavern of tho Island ol StatTa, includ
ing the famous Fingal's Cave, are crtific
ial, and creatod by the baud of man at
some very early period. lie bases his
theory on the Gothio shape of tho roofs,
the sheltered location of tbe caves, tho
lack of evidence of erosion of the rocks
by water, aud the insufficient niochanical
power of thu sea-waves at that island to
excavate such caves.
According to Prof. Loomls, about
cue-fifth of tbe entire lund surface of the
globe has au annual rainfall of less than
ten inches, and a btlll larger part has a
rainfall so small as to make It valueless
for purposes of agriculture exoept in the
limited districts where irrigation is prac
ticable. Iu North America an almost
rainless region Is fouud, iu Southern Cal
ifornia aud Arizona, and iu a large dis
trict about Slave Lake the yearly precip
itation uf water is ouly about ten inches.
During a recent discussion at the
Philadelphia Academy of Natural Scien
ces it wus doubted that tho odors of in
sects are emitted as a protection from tho
attacks of euemies, as is generally be
lieved. At least some of tho odors ure
very agreeable to mau, and it is by uo
means certain that scents repulsive to us
are not delightful to the most common
euemies of tho insects emitting them.

Prof, Young, in tho light of Meyer's

basis of a theory us to its identity, llo
is quite certain, however, that the comets
of 1880 and 1882 are not tbesame.as they
have periods too great lo be consistent
with such a view. lie thinks it u.oio
likely that they nre twins tnoviug iu near

An Interesting experiment has been
madd lu Paris by Mous. Margiu. A
Swan iucaud.bcet.t electrio lamp was at
tached to the insi lo of a paper hulloou
about eight feet iu diameter. The bal
loon wus tbou filled with hydrogen gas
and allowed to ascend, being htld cap-
tlvo by a rope containing two copper
wires. On lighting the lamp by passing
nu electrio current through tbe wires,
tbe whole balloon appeared like a globe
of tiro. By systematic interruptions ot
the curreut it was showu that the dots
and d.ialus of tho Morse code could be
imiUted, and thu value of such a method
ofsignalmg in military operations will
be seen when tho distance to which il
luminated ballotua could be made visi
ble is considered.
A report by Mous. Glrard, dirrctor
of the Paru Municipal Laboratory, gives
some interesting information concerning
the adulterations by which the French
people are victimized. The most exten

the adulteratiou ol flour, which isuiixod
with various mineral substances olteu
of a poisonous nature. It has been cer-
taiuly ascertained that artificial flours ure

Mr. Grant Allen has drawn this im
aginary picture of mau as evolutionists,
suppooj him to have existed iu mioceue

or less erect, but with a slouching gait,
black-faced and wkUksred, with protrud
ing jaws, aud large, pointed canine teeth
those of each jaw fitted with an inter
space in tbe opposite row. These teeth,
as Mr. Darwin BUggests, were used iu tho
combats of tho malts. His forehead was
no doubt low and retreating, with bony
bosses underlying the shaggy eyebrows,
which gave him a fierce expression tome
