until nhn Haw, with dismay, that It was like

'Can't It be HlepHid ?" she exclaimed.
"It can," Mild n xilce nt her side. The next

Hhe could net nt llrst rememlier where hIie

Ofcourhe, It was Jack, who had been wait

Then thorn was silence, extept the noise
or the little beat rushing through the water.

" Yeu seem te find it very funny," he said

Suddenly he brought the lieit around very

Hailed rapidly towards heinu.
Jack Hunter was en the pier when they

As no summer Is asuciess without a pic

Therno. but he had begged ihat she might
be of the party, .mil Mrs. lleutly who saw
in him an excellent husband ler her grand

At nine e clock n merry party assembled at

a dismal party landed nt the deck, In de

iieiorinineu 10 nave 111s way and win uer ny
fair means or Inul, he at Inst thought of a
plan that would prove most elloctlve lu
making her listen te him. Approaching her
ene morning, he said :
" I have inade n discovery which I wish
te share with you."
Yes ?" she said, with but Might show or
interest.
" I have round hosts of water lilies."
" Where 7"
Hhe was oager enough new, for they were

" 1 will show them te you, but net te any

" Well, thou, come 1" she exclaimed, ris
Ing hastily ; and Jack, who sal near, appa

his teeth.
"Net new. lle ready about (iu this niter niter

said Therno.
" Won't that lie tee lale 7 It's a long sail

" Ne, no, MIhh Klsle," said Therno before
Jack could speak. "Yeu rerget ; the bar
gain was for you te ceme alone."
Hhe said nothing, but followed him te the
Isiat, with a curious feeling et uneasiness.
"Aioyeu net going te sail the beat j-our-seir?"
she asked, with seme surprise, as a
Ixiy took the place nt the helm.
"Some ene must leek alter the beat v. hlle

"We shall have the wind with us going

short walk brought them te a pond almost
covered with water lilies lu lull bloom Tlie

"Oh, Mr. Theme ! hew geed It was in j-eu

Hut the dowers wero out of liand's reach, and

Theu he loekod her full In tlie face. His

the desperate move that he had made; and,

"It his gene and will net be hick until to

which he had sweetened aud enlightened for

"Hut of all the crazes and 'fads' orthe

Murder Charged te suiiitiurne's l'uetry.
Uessle Iliauibleln l'ltl Imu Dispatch.
It aeeins Irem latest ui-ceuuts, that Kwln Kwln
hurne'B poetry Is te Im held responsible for
thomurderof (ionevieve K aliter bj' her hus
band, Wiu. Thompson, and his own suicide.
He had read Swinburne, sajs a garrulous
Irlend, and was imbued bv his sentimental,
poetic views of death and love, and leve and
death le such an extent that deith became te
him a beautiful thing, a pisslouate thing;
that death was the end of leve, the (reed 0111
from lev e, and j-et the nev or ending thrall of
leve. New, II this Isn't twaddle, what Is it ?
Aud if respectable, intelligent, talented
young men are te be inspired te murder aud
sudden death by such romantic gush, il is
voryevidont that Swinburne should be la
belled dangerous, and enlj- be issued from
libraries nud Beld Irem book stores ou pre.
scriptien of a competent pbjsiciau. If a
J'euug man of geed education and tine talents
who has reached the nge et 2., has iiotgump iietgump iiotgump
lien enough te go te work ami earu a living
ler the woman he loves, bul prefers leve iu
death and death in love, and all that sort of
Mull through having soaked his mind in
Swinburne's sensuous poetry, then it must
be evident that Swinburne is a dangerous
poet te hav 0 around. A geed dese el Samuel
bmlles' "Solfllelp" would have been much
mere te the iielnt,
lr he had net had such "a wealth or Kotic
feeling," and if he hadn't written svvlu svvlu
burueau verses, and it he had net wanted
"te leve and be lev oil ami then have death
wrap us both ui together miduirrj' us whero
thore is 110 forgetting," nnd 11 he had had
that much mere desirable 1 oiuuieu sense, he
would have bravely battled with the world
for his leve rather than huve murdered her.
A wealth bf ieetlc leellngs is all verj' well,
but it doesn't furnish hre.ul and butter, uer
pay house rent and taxes. It It had net been
ler the Hwlnhiiriunu ieetry the supioiltlen
is that as all thebeautliul stories end up, this
loving j'eung couple would have geno te
housekeeping lu everj-day style, mid llved a

jears hav e geno te .1 Miuday school piculoeu
Fourth of July lugging a huge hosket of

crackers nud lomeuudo te the small try.
This would net have been "a llle of passion
ami beauty and drllt, drift with the repe
cut," hut lioneviovo would probably rather
have chosen It than te be murdered by the
uiuusue 10 veu incoiuuieou, te an such
romantic young men it should be said thatif
they read Swinburne, if they must leso thelr
minds through leve and financial embarrass,
meut, if they must uie rather than de their
duty, they should iu all fairness sheet thorn thorn

of Klk and adjoining counties. Thej" had a
Fourth of J uly colebratlou iu Hidgvvay ou

and Tiega the New Yerk capitalists, espec
ially", huve located their tanneries lu the
midst of -their purchases and possessions of
Ions of thousands of acres el the hemlock
lands which have been gradually jieoled for
the great tanneries of that region. The prox
imity of tlie bark, ample supplies et clear
fresh spring water mid geed drainage, are
the advantages et location hore, und thej"
have been improved by entorprlse mid on en

nearly six month elapse between the raw
material ami the manufactured product,
seme Idea cm bu hud orthe capital roqulied
ler the pi mt horn. The spent tan supplies
luel. I would net have believed the wet
stutl would burn se well and mikestichn
het lire, until shown that dried tan was no
geed at nil for fuel. I was equally surprised
at the economy et u tannery. The liquor is
heated aud used ever und ever until overj"
bit et the hemlock extract has doue its ser ser
vite. I p at Daguscaheudu, Hve miles from
ltidgwav, theru is uu extract works, lu
which Jacksen H Sliullz, the well-known
New erk capitalist, has large Investment
There thej" simply extract the Juices rf the

abiiud te foreign tauners. At Wilcox, Shel
held and ethor points iu the county there ure
big tanneries, which, with the Tiegi con
cerns, make this the great hoIe leather tan
ning region of the world, well worth 11 week's
visit. ou sie the sole leuther process is
something altogether dillerent Irem that et
the niauiilacture et leather for belting, up
pers, harness, Ac, where " the strength is hi
the stietch." 'I hey saj" that In Knglaud mid
ether foreign markets the tanners vveight
their leather shamelessly, putting lu as
much us hltceu per cent et adulteration,
which would ruin tlie standing et uu Ameri

may have no stretch qualitj' ; its libre is iu
the " 1111 and down " wear.
Hidgwiij is a brisk town of probably nut
as iiiauj" as 2,000 population. It presents
signs et wealth, entorprlse and relinement.

this comity. The hills around ltidgwuy are
full or geed springs, aud everj" citizen can
have his own water supply, a bath room en

They bring tlie natural gas irein near by and
it dares in the street lamps that burn like
great plne knot torches ; they burrow the
