There's glory in the sereaming blast,
A beauty in the frosted tree;
A mystery in the lake that's glassed
With kw, and awe upon the sea;
Knohantmrnt on the far-off hilla,
A music in the suowflake gale,
Beneath the toe, the ringing rills.
Sing many a song, tell many a tale.
I always knew—l scarce know why—
But knew that superhuman power
Wan in the snow drill neaLh the sky,
As well as in the little flower,
knew it when first I sew the snow
Lie like s shrood upon the earth;
\fhen I felt the gentle south winds blow,
And newborn roses sprang to birth.
And 1 hare learned to love the time
When nature wears its frosty crown;
The sleighlells with thair merry chime.
O'er hills and valley*, up and down.
1 like to hear the schoolboy's shout,
The sparkle of the lass' eye;
And mark their footsteps on the mule
That leads beyond the winter's sky.
A GREAT, TALL FELLOW.
I had known my sistcr-iu-law Adeline
Eliza in a desultory way ever since my
fourteenth birthday—June 15, 1878—
when I was brought home from board
ing-school to be present at her marriage
to my eldest brother; but never until
that dreadful Fourth of July. 1877, had
I had the slightest idea of her extra
ordinary capability and endurance as a
story-teller. Nor do I suppose I should
•ver have known of them—our ways in
life lying far apart—had not Adeline
E'isa's annual visit to New York hap
pened at the very time I had my first
serious quarrel with Gabriel Haviland.
That occurred th evening before the
above-mentioned anniversary of the
declaration of American independence,
and was about—dear me!—the silliest
thing. Looking back, it seems almost
impossible to believe that we could have
been so extremely foolish as to quarrel
as we actually did— But I'll tell you
all about it, and you can judge for your
self. Gabriel had been reading aloud
from some English paper or other—the
Saturday Review, if I remember aright
—an article entitled "Mothers-in-Law,"
and as he laid down the paper he said:
" I fully agree with the writer that the
jokes—many of them very stupid ones—
at the expense of mothers-in-law have
been carried quite far enough, and I
also agree with her—"
" Or him." I suggested.
"—or him, that there are lots of
splendid women among them, but at
the same time I must confess that I'd
prefer a home without a mother-in
law."
Now I lind been &n orphan ever since
I waa five year* of age, and what pos
aesaed me to feel 10 angry at (Jabriel'a
remark I cannot imagine; but angry I
waa, and with flushed cheeks and flash
eyes I raised my head from hi
ahonlder—<>f coarse we were engaged
and aaked, indignantly, " \*f you mean
to aay you wonld not have liked my
mother P"
" Nothing of the sort," said be, with a
smile. " 1 know I should have liked
her. She most have been charming, to
have bad so charming a daughter."
Bat I refused to return his smile, and
with head very erect, went on: "But
you would not have shared your home
with herP"
"No,darling, frankly, I would not."
" Tben;i would never have lived with
you if you refused to allow my mother
to be one of the household," cried I.
" Ah, your affection for me must be
deep indeed," said he, with provoking
coolness. " But in spite of your touch
ing declaration, my dear, I still repeat,
no mother-in-law in my house. I've
seen too much of that arrangement in my
own family. A man may be a good fel
low, and bis wife's mother may be a
good fellow, while apart, but bring them
ogetber under |tbe same roof, and in
•inety-nine eases out of a hundred fire
an gunpowder would be amiable com
panions in comparison."
"Othv • families might be better
tempere. 'ban yours," said I. with sn
attempt t sarcasm. " Mine might
b$. n
"No n.otber-in-law, my love," was
Gabriel a sole reply.
" Then no Caroline Brower," said I,
in a perfect rage. " And what's more!
you needn't wait any longer. I won't
go to vour sister's. 8o there, now!"
"Very well* (why do people say
"Very weil" when they mean quite the
contraryP). And at last, really pro
voked, my Icfver seised bis hat, and was
gone in a flash.
Did you ever hear of a sillier quar
rel, taking into consideration, as I said
before, that I had no mother, nnd, as I
didnt say before, Gabriel was also
motherless P
The beils sere ringing merrily when
I awoke the next morning (I had shut
oat the moon, nnd cried myself to sleep
the night before), and when I drew up
my shade the sunshine came in as glo
riously brig lit as though Gabriel and I
bad not quarreled. But its brightness
could not niake uie forget that we bad.
I was thinking of it ali the time I was
dressing, and wondering what I was to
do with myself ail the long, hot, noisy
day.
It bad been arranged a month before
that Gabriel and I should spend the
Fourth with hia only sinter, who lived
in a charming o untry house in a pretty
Connecticut village, and Gabriel bad
called to escort me thither on the morn
inc of the third, when, unfortunately,
having a little time to spare, be regaled
me with the artiolo on " Mothers-in
law " That reading, a* I have already
narrated, resulted in my staying at
home. "I suppose," 1 said, bitterly,
to myself, "that Gabriel has (tone, and
that that Price (tlrl, with eyebrows like
interrogation points, will lie hovering
about him all day. as she always does *
and I gave my wrapper such a pull that
two of the buttons came off, when Ade
line Eliza came in.
"Why, Car'lino," said she—every
body else called me^Carrie—" ain't you
gone?"
" No," replied I, shortly, resisting an
inclination to make some sarcastic re
mark on that most obvi >us fact.
"Why notP"
"Because I didn't want to"—pet
tishly and ungrammatically.
"Had a tiff with Gabof" (Every
body else called him Gabriel.) And
then seeing I would not answer, she
continued, good-naturedly—to do her
justice, she was the soul of good nature
-"Well, don't stay mopin' here. Take
a cup of codec, put on your things, and
come with Gus and me. My folks are
all a-goin' to meet at Hillside nnd have
a good old-fashioned picnic. You know
grandfather and mother and hcap9 ol
my relations live there. Hurry up and
come along."
And I hurried up and went along,
for, as I quickly reasoned, spending the
day with daisy-dotted fields, fine old
trees, green hills, and an old-fashioned
picnic would be much better than being
nearly driven craxy by cannons, fire
works, smoke and boys.
Hillside looked cool and inviting as
we stopped at the depot, but my heart
sank within me as I steppe} the
train. I seemed to be so far from Ga
briel, and the thought that the Price
girl was no doubt so near afforded me
anything but consolation.
And now while we are walking single
file along the narrow sidewalk,shaded by
round old apple trees, I'll go back a lit
tle in my story to tell you that a wee
before this Fourth of July la burglar
had been caught in grandmamma's
house. Adeline Ejixa caught him, hut
unfortunately had been obliged to let
him go before assistance had arrived.
Since the eventful night I had heard
her tell how she " woke up, about
twelve o'clock"—Gus being away—
"feclin'aa though somethin' was goin'
to happen, and there stood a great, tall
fellow, with big black whiskers, at the
burer;" and how she "sprung for him,
and hung around his neck till he begun
to choke, screamin' 'Murder!' all the
time;" and how he "got away, and
jumped out of the back winder on to the
grape arbor, just as the policeman came
in the doorand how " he had a p'sto),
and if he could have got it out ol his
-pocket, he would 'a shot me" (before
that dreadful day was over I almost
wished he had)—so many times that 1
was as awearitd as " Mariana in the
moated grange." And when I heard
Adeline Eliza begin, to a relation who
had met us at the station, and in whose
footsteps she followed, " A great, tall
fellow," I groaned in spirit. Not that
I had any idea bow that burglar would
pnrsue me all day. If I baa bad, I
should have silently turned and fled,
and taken the next train back to the
city.
After a quarter of an hour's walk we
arrived at the house of the particular
aunt who was to be our particular host
ess, and found her and her whole family
awaiting us on the smnle porch, while
before the gate stood a large and com
fortable- looking carry-all. Into this,
after numberless hearty welcomes, we
were helped, and in a few moments were
upon the grounds selected for the pic*
nic. Pleasant, grass-covered, undulat
ing, tree-shaded grounds, with a little
brook running aiong at the back of them,
glittering, splashing, and chattering in
a most delightful manner.
Beneath a gTand old hickory which
partly overhung this brook I sat me
down, and Adeline Eliza and several of
her brothers, and a few of her sisters,
and two or three of her cousins, and her
aunt, and her bright-eyed old mother,
grouped themselves before me.
" Isn't this lovely F" exclaimed one of
the cousins.
" Beautiful 1" said Adeline Elisa. "But
I must tell you about the burglar; never
came so near being killed in all my life."
( gently swung my feet over the hank
on Which I was sitting. " I went to
sleep tb.it night awful tired "—I dropped
almost into the brook below—"but some
thin' made me wake up "—I stole away
on tip-toe—"and there stood agreat.Uill
iellow " reaching my ears as I descended
nlo a Lilliputian valley with my spark
ing little companion.
1 walked with the happy brook a mile
or more, and then turned hack as the
dinner-born aounded. And such a din
ner! or, more properly speaking, such a
breakfast, lunch and dinner all mingled
into one huge meal, as met my as ton -
shed vision when I again Joined the
party!
Giant loaves of home-made bread;
biscuits, buns, crackers; pork and beans
together; beans without the pork; pork
without the beans; chickens roasted,
broiled, and in salads; beef boiled and
baked; peas, corn, and more beans skill
fully combined, or in separate dishes;
young beets, cucumbers, lettuces; cakes
—a legion of cakes; pies—a boat of pics;
berries— bushels of berries; coffee, tea.
and lemonade—gallons of them all! If
ever table did groan hen slh the weigh*
offer d. those tables should have groaned
with a groan more appalling than ever
was heard from the ghost of Hamlet's
father. Never saw Iso bountiful are
past before, and, truth to tell, it waa a
welcome sight, for, notwithstanding my
grief at being separated from my Gabriel,
youth and country air asserted them
selves, and 1 was decidedly hungry.
" Set rifttit down here, Car'linc,"
callod my sistcr-in-lnw, the moment I
camo in sight, pointing to a vacant seat
on her right. I obeyed, unfolded my
napkin, took a cup of coffee somebody
handed me, said, " Yes, thank you," to
an offer of roast chicken, when Adciinc
Eliza, with her mouth full of succotash,
turning to her neighbor on the left, re
sumed the story widely my arrival ap
parently had interrupted for a moment:
" A grsat, tall fellow with big—" I
jumped up hnatily. There was an un
occupied chair at the children's table.
" I'll help take (rare of the little ones,"
said I, and fled once more.
Dinner lasted about two hours, and
shortly after a stalwart, brown-faced
young farmer bashfully proposed a
swing, or a " seup," as he called it. 1
eagcily accepted his invitation. Any
thing, anything, I thought, to getaway
rom those "big black whiskers," and
keep Gabriel and that forward Price
girl out of my mind. Besides which, I
was very fond of swinging. Bo in a few
moments I was merrily flying up among
the tree-tops, and in another few mo
ments a shrill, too well known voice
followed me. I glanced down. Adeline
Eliza stood beneath an adjacent tree,
talking to her deaf old grandfafher.
" No, no, I didn't say black sisters,"
the screamed; "black whiskers—big
black whiskers."
And thereafter, no matter how high I
soared, that wretched story soared with
me."
" I gave him a choke," yelled Adeline
Elixa.
"No, no, not 'joke.' It wasn't no
'joke,' but a real burglar."
"Let the cat die," murmured I to my
farmer friend, and bciore it was fairly
dead I sprang from the swing, and pre
cipitately joined a noisy party who were
playing "Follow my leader" with
shouts of laughter that could have cer
tainly been heard a mile away.
Supper. Another heavily-loaded table,
and people eating as though they had had
no dinner. Adeline Eiixa sat opposite
tome. An elder sister, who had just
arrived on the scene of aetion—her car
riage having broken down and tumbled
herself and children Into the dust five
milts up thp road, from whence they
had all trudged, while "pa " went to
look for a blacksmith—took her place at
my side.
" I declare, when that wagon went to
pieces," said she, " I was almost scared
to death."
" Scared to death 1" repeated my sister
in-law, with an accent ol scorn.
" Guess it you'd 'a waked up and seen a
burglar in your room, as I did tYtber
night-"
" No!" exclaimed her sister.
"No'no'about it," replied Adeline
Ellxa, gulping down her ice-cream in
such a hurry that her nose turned blue,
and I shivered. "A great, Uil fel
low—"
I started to m? Ifft, anopm
cjrA, open-mouthed urchin into my
place, Landed him my cake and Ice
cream, and rushed out into the old
fashioned garden. Even there my evil
spirit seemed to pursue me. and I fancied
the cricketa chirped over and over
again, " A great, tall fellow," and the
tree toads and katydids joined in with
"Big black whiskerm, big black
whiskers."
"Oh. Gabrielt Gabriel!" said I, "if
you but knew what I have suffered, you
wouldn't even speak to that Price girl,
let alone pi ay croquet with her, as I
suppose you have been doing all after
noon!"
And I wandered about among the
sleeping flowers'until the crickets and
tree-toads and katydids had resumed
their usual song, and then I returned to
the house, hoping to And the old arm

party, as I saw when I peeped through

oenter of the room, one of her children
asieep in her lap. " And I woke up,"
she was saying, " and there stood—"
" Where, oh. where shall I fly f" ex

A nilt Town In New Mexico.
James Btephenson, of tbt United
States geological survey, district of
Mezioo, brings news of an important
discovery he has made recently in the
course or his labors. While near Banta
Fe, New Mexico, he was informed by
Indians that there were within a few
miles somo ancient caves that he would
lind interesting. Guided by ttirni he
found, forty miles from Santa Fe, ten
miles from the Rio Grande river, a cliff
town composed of caves in the rocky
side of a canon thirty miles long, never
before visited by a white man. He was
so much impressed with th* greatness
of his discovery that, for a moment, he
could scarcely speak. When he did it
was in terms of wonder and admiration.
This town, or succession of excavations
in the solid rock for thirty miles, is one
of the largest, if not the largrst, ever
discovered. The houses are dug out of
the rock side to a depth of from fifteen
to twenty feet. Apparently they were
excavated with stone implements. They
are almost inaccessible from the plains.
Mr. Btephenson, however, managed to
clamber up tbe rocky precipice and en
tered and examined several of tbe houses.
He found in them a number of articles
that he thought remains of their first
possessors. He will probably prepare a
report upon tbe clifl town, as he calls it.
A scientist who lias traveled in that
region and visited other caves and exca
vations of a similiar kind says he Is dis
posed to believe that they have been
tenanted witbin modern times by
Indians at war with other tribes, seek
ing safety and advantage over their
enemies. He thinks the remains found
there arc the remnants of the things
these belligerents have used, eaten or
worn, and not the relics of the first
owners of the rock houses.
I'olar l.ordo.
Like all aborigines the men of the
Arctic regions are laxy, ah<l compel the
women todo all the manual labor. I saw
two women, each with a child on her
bark, drawing a thirty foot net lor sa.-
mon, while the men stood by smoking
without offering to assist, although it
was evident that the task was much
too difflcu.t for the women. These peo
ple are rrmarkahiy good-natured, laugh
ng heartily at every trifle, and always
smiling when spoken to. They arc very
susceptible to ridicule, and to avoid it
will do many things that thry could not
otherwise be indoced to do. They have
no marriage ceremony; when an Inuit
brave desires a wile he makes her an
efferof a present, generally an "ab-to
ghs," to the maiden of his choice; il it
is accepted she becomes bis wi e and is
taken to his "tupeck." This brief form
ol marriage seems to be quite as effec
tive as the more elaborate form of civ
ilisation. They seem to live happily
together, and separations are very un
usual. especially if children have been
born to them. In caws where there are
no children by the first wife it is not
unusual lor a second to be taken. Tbe
two wives a-e said to occupy the same
"tupeck" without enyy or jealousy.—

Some years ago the French ministry
addressed s circular to ah the prefects,
desiring them to institute inquiries as
to the conditions which appear pe
culiarly to favor longevity in their sev
eral districts, and the replies are said to
have almost unanimously indicated as
the leading elements or infloen -es great
sobriety, regular labor and usually in
the open air, daily exercise short of
fatigue, early hours, a comparatively
well-to-do life, calmness 01 mind in
meeting trouble, moderate intellectual
powers, and a family life The bene
ficial influence of marriage on the dura
tion of life is universally admitted, and
remarriage does not seem to be unfavor
able. The prefects also indicate hered
ity as a frequent cause, and the influ
ence of o.imate is likewise admitted;
Ibis latter, however, is separable with
difficulty from other causes which may
be operating simultaneously; but. if all
tilings were otherwise equel, it would
seem that southern are leas favorable to
longevity than northern climates.

Unas la la Christmas Time.
When the leaves fall, the Kussian
winter seta in ay once, imprisoning the
•©rf in tlielr cabins for seven dreary
months. Tliis is their period of domes
tic life. Home has to be made the most
of. Deep canon-like cuts lead from
house to house, and there are frequent
atlierings of young and old.
When Christmas comes the father of
marriageable children arrange with
their neighbors, and tbe girls are all
taken to one bouse with their parents.
A Christmas tree is set up on the tabled
where brandy isdeaitout to each comer
with piroge-a meat biscuit. Then the
marriageable girls an; placed in a row
on a long bench, each one vailed. The
young! men, who have been kept in an
adjacent room, are let in one by one by
the master of the house.
With throbbing heart each girl awaits
he entrance of the youth to whom she
has already given her heart. Will he
be sure to recognize her in her disguise?
We do not know whether the heart of
the true lover is preternaturally keen,
or whether in these cases there is sorn"
preconcerted signal, but it rarely hap
pens that when a young man bows low
before n maiden she does not raise a vaii
to meet his glance with blushing ooks
of love.
Yet it sometime occur* that a blunder
ing dolt hits upon a girl whom he doe*
not love, or who eyes him with scorn
The uniortun rte fellow is then the hut
of ridicule from Hll sides, and can escape
only by a considerable present in the
way ol damages.
When the couples have all been Fatia
factorily off, each bride and groom
proceed to their parents' cabin, where
they enter vailed. The oldest of th
family then exchanges rings between
them three times, a holy picture is given
to them to kiss, they embrace one an
other, and are recognised as betrothed.
As the Kussian government always
gives a young married couple farmland
and wood for a house the marriage fol
lows soon niter the engagement. On
the wedding day the friends of the bride
dress her up, taking off her maiden at
tire to invest her with that of a married
woman, on which they lead her to tier
groom. The wedding a,ways ends in
copious iibationsol brandy.
The next day the parents enter the
house of the new-married couple to wish
tijpm happiness, and ofler them brtad
and sail. Thus peace and happiness
enter the new home, the best of Christ
mas gifts.
An Appeal Is Honor.
Several weeks since a prisoner was re
ceived at the Detroit house of correc
tion who seemed determined to have his
own way at every oost. In twenty-four
hours he was in disgrace for obstreper
ous conduct, and he was no sooner out
of one scrape than he got bimseil into
another. He was locked up, tied up
and punished in diflerent ways, and the
other day when he committed some new
breach of discipline the deputy called
him into the oifitse in despair and be
gan :
"John, how long have you been
beref"
"Two months."
" How many times have you been
punished P"
" About a dozen times, I guess."
" And still you are lazy and impudent
and quarrelsomeP"
" It Isn't for me to dispute you, sir.'
" I've been thinking over your case,"
continued the deputy, "and I have con
eluded to put you in charge of the
smailpoi hospital. You are too laay to
catch the disease, and too mean to let
anybody else have what you can't.
(Jet your Uaps together."
"Say. deputy." replied the man, as
his eyes began to bulge. " this is the

have appealed directly to my honor.
When I was ordered and commanded
and compelled, I felt aggravated and
obtinate. Now that you appeal
directly to my sense of honor and duty,
I shall cbeerfuily obey. I think I can

A Chare* Metu.
The building committee of a church
recently finished in New Jersey wanted
a stone slab orer the door, with the
name of the church and a scriptural
motto. It occurred to them that noth
ing could be neater than "My house
shall be called the house ol prayer." So
one ol the committeemen, who was in a
great hurry, told the stonecutter to
chisel on the slab the thirteenth Terse
of the twenty-first chapter of Mattrww.
He thought the Terse ended with the
words he wanted to use. The stone
cutter took the whole Terse from the
Bible, and faithftill? copied it to the
end. imagine the horror of the com
mitteemen when ibe stone was de
.iTered! It read: "Mr house shad be
called the house of prayer; hut ye bare
made it s den of tbleTes." The stone
cutter insisted that he bad obeyed
fCfde r*. But the committeemen insisted
that the motto he had iascri tvd wi s
not what liiey wanted, and that it won id
be of no particular use to tbsm. That
slab is now in the stonecutter's yard,
and any body who wants it for a tomb
stone can probably bay it cheap.
