The Hearts of Trees,
f lie at enee mnitl the uhula
Whore kite my random steps hare strsyed;
Tho branches tenderly are swayed;
Vicissitudes of shine or shade
The plenteous grasses foel.
Yet here in this idyllic place,
Gloomed from the crystal blue of spaco,
No longer does my vision traeo
What outward symmetry and grace
Tho foliage may reveal.
For dearer still tho boon I prize
To pierce with contemplative oyos
Recesses of the trees that rise
Above me, in luxuriant guiso
Of twinkling green arrayed;
To mark the gladsome birds explore
Each growth to its cool central coro,
And note their quick shapes dart and soar
Through many a leafy corridor.
Dim gallery,fcieep arcade.
Oh, feathered favorites, blithe and fleet,
Whom the calm woodlands love to gruot
With hospitality more sweet
Than man. howe'erhe may entreat,
Can make their boughs dispense,
To you the alb-giant tre •< have told,
la fond confession, shy or bold,
In cloisteral music richly rolled,
Rare special secrets they withhold
From man's intelligence!
Ah! human life too often sees
Great realms of thought or dream, like these
Great shadowy hearts of yonder trees,
Fleeting fantasias on the breeze
More eloquent than words!
But we, whose earth-bound spirits tire,
Watch witli regret's long-smoldering lire
Those interdicted bournes aspire,
While fate forbids that our desire
Shall wear wings, like the birds!

JESSIE'S LUCK.
" Girls, its quite too horrible fur tiny
thing! There isn't a bit of white
sugar in the house. I shook tho old
paper sack until I shook it in two
pieces, and nothing appeared but a
crazy black ant. I can't make the cake
1 had set my heart on for to-rnurrow,
nor anything, .and there's the ground
under the Bedstone beach plum trees
just flaming purple with them —plums
I mean—and all gone to waste be
cause there's no sugar to preserve
them in. Ain't it harrowing?"
Daisy Fi-nton, an industrious dot of
a girl, with hor black eyes and a dimji
led chin, twitched herself into the sit
ting-rooin where her sisters were vari
ously occupied, and plumping herself
upon the arm of an easy-chair waved
the rolling-pin and challenged sugges
tions.
" Poor victims of fallen fortunes and
the freaks of fate," sighed sentimental
Hortense, hacking at a cedar pencil
with a dull dinner-knife, for Hortense
was "literary," and wrote lovely
stories and poems that short-sighted
editors always declined—with thanks.
" Wait till I get paid for my novel."
" We'd be somewhere soon, if we de
pended on that," wits the encouraging
observation of .Miss Aurelia, a family
Xantippe whose bark was worse than
her bite. " Victims of fate, indeed?—
victims of a lot of unfeeling relations
that considered it fun to get all our
property away from us, and leave us
with hardly a house to live in."
•"I was left a trampled orphan,'
quoted Hortense, plaintively, 'and a
selfish—'"
" Pity you hadn't been left some
common sense," Aurelia cut Iter snort.
"It makes my blood Itoil to think of
the way we've been treated—and half
that good-for-nothing Ernest Grey's
fault for not succeeding la tter with
the suit. Hut, of course, he don't
care. It's little enough he knows of
what poverty is or cares for those that
do."
ID-re little Jessie Fen ton, who had
Itecn patiently trying to rnend a large
hob- in a small slipper, with a thick
needle, made herself heard:
" It's a pity we couldn't sell part of
the plums and get sugar enough to use
and to preserve the rest. I am sure
Mrs. llopwood would buy them; she
said she couldn't get anything to make
Jelly of."
"But who'd take them?" asked
Daisy. " I've got a lot of bread to
bake this afternoon, so I couldn't."
"I wouldn't!" averred Hortense, "I
am sure it would kill tne to go and ask
people to buy plums."
" I shouldn't," declared Aurelia, in
whose eyes any plan not formed by
herself seldom found favor.
"All right,," announced Jessie, bit
ing off her thread and flinging her
slippers in a corner; " I'll go myself.
Dick will harness Prince for ine, and
the road is good, and I'll take the
quart cup to measure the plums, and
Uncle Tom's' big pocketlsHik to put the
money in, and I'll—"
"Don't be too brisk," interrupted
Aurelia, cheertngly; " you ain't such a
wonderful phenomenon, you know."
" You won't have any luck," sighed
Ilortcnse; "you rfever do."
Hut it was nevertheless a very sunny
face that sparkled under the little
gray rose-crowned straw hat an hour
afterward as Jessie stepped Into the
old trap, with her wares arranged in
open baskets sprinkled over with graftc
leaves, through which the fruit glowed j
like lurid coals of fire ;* and the two
suian I rown-glovjdMiands holding the
reins worn bravo, though thoy trom
bled a little with tho responsibility of
driving oven slow old Putienco down
the broad country road. Hut she was
careful that this should not lie sus
pected by Aurclia and Ilortonse, each
holding hack a corner of the window
curtain to gaze after her ; nor Daisy,
who stood at the gate waving tho roll
ing pin, and shouting :
"He sure you ask eightpence a
quart, they're worth it."
When Jessie reached the great
gloomy residence wherein abode Mrs.
llopwood, the wife of a county court
judge, and herself cousin of a barris
ter, she found it necessary to call up
all her courage to explain her business
to tho majestic lady who swept down
the walk, surveyed the plums with
much dignity and languidly inquired
the price.
" Eightpence," began Jessie, now as
red as the plums herself, and then for
got to finish the sentence as a dark j
gentleman with a piratical black
mustache stepped from a veranda
and raised his hat, and she recognized
i Mr. Ernest Grey, Mrs. I lop wood's
! cousin, and tin- lawyer who had under
-1 taken anil lost the cause for herself
and sisters in their late law cntungle
> incut. Hut let it be understood that
though Aurclia might unjustly blame
him for the failure, Jessie did not, he
cause it was quite against Jessie's code
of reasoning and propriety to blame
Mr. Erm st Grey for anything.
" How much did you say, Miss Pen
ton?" asked Mrs. llopwood, in her
frigidly calm voice, which confused I
the poor girl tho more.
'• she repeated, with a
side glance at Mr. Grey, in whose
gypsy eyes she was sure she detected
a sly gleam of amusement, which made
her wish (with great reason and con- (
sistence) that she could thmw all the
plums at Mrs. Hopwood's head, and
between feeling awkwardly embar
rassed, ami at the same time angry .
with herself for being ashamed of
what she was doing, she nearly lost
her senses.
" Eightpence f<-r how many?" asked
Mrs. llopwood, her chilly tones grow
ing rather impatient. And Jessie lx>
gan again :
" Eightpence—"
<)h, what was it Daisy told her?
Hi" could n d taink t<> save herself ;
presence uf mind was gone ; she must
say something.
" Eightpence a gallon," she fluttered,
turning away, that the tears she knew
were euining could fall unse. a.
"Oh," said Mrs. llopwood, "I'll
take thern all." And she snapped
them up so eagerly it almost looked as
if she was afraid Jessie,would change
her mind a)tout the price.
Hut Jessie was only intent on getting
away as fast as possible, and dropping
the bits of silver Mrs. llopwood handed
her into a peck basket, she set off, and
would not let herself think until she
reached home all in a flutter.
" Did you make your fortune?"
askul Aurelia.
"Or meet your fate?" inquired Hor- j
tense.
" How much sugar did you get?"
asked Daisy eagerly. " I've scoured
up the preserving kettle and gathered
tlu- plums so 1 can go to work pre
serving them."
And then Jessie for the first time
thought of the sugar, and remembered
too well what she was to get for the
plums.
She told the story lnavely and then
ran away.
"Just her luck," murmured Hor
tensc ; "f told you so."
" Luck, inde*d f retorted Aurelia ;
"it's her folly, and. as usual, the fault
of that villainous Ernest Grey."
Jessie was sitting upon the front
step in the shadow, weeping despair
ingly, when no other fersonage than
Ernest Grey himself appeared sudden
ly before her, and captured her little
tear-wet hands -without so much as
asking her consent,
" Jessie," he said. " my sweet, brave
little Jessie, so long and desperately as
I have loved you, I never loved you as
Ido to-day. You quite shattered my
heart down there, at Cousin Emily's
to-day, with your brave though not
successful attempt at business, and I
could not resist the temptation to fol
low and tell you so. M y love, I could
not save your fortune. Will you ac
cept mine?"
" Ah. Ernest," sighed Jessie, "why
don't you ask me to accept you? Do
you suppose 1 think of your fortune?"
" No, I don't," he said, sitting down
lieside her, "but I suppose Aurelia
does. Nhe hates me like a Turk, but
mavis- she won't now. She nnd the
rest shall roine and live with us, and
we'll have lots of fun."
The three sisters were overwhelmed
with astonishment at the turn afTairs
had taken,
" And so," observed Daisy, "Jessie
did make her fortune and incct her
| fate."

Frmlninr llrnkrra la Nrw York Who lo n
l.itrgr lluolni-no—An lnlorlrx t| Ith Our of
Them.
A New York paper says: One of
the best known women in thin country
is n heavy and successful operator in
Wall street. And she is not the only
woman who puts up margins and takes
the risk of their being wiped out in the
I fickle, fluctuating course of the market.
Seized with the mania which has made
and unmade many men, women are
plunging into the vortex of specula
tion. There are more places than one
would imagine in New York where
women can consult the "tape" and
give their "ordTs"—places that were
established for their exclusive accom
modation, and where the sterner sex
are not expected to intrude. There
are "bucket shops," as they are called,
for female dealers, too—places where
! no actual transactions are made, hut
j where money changes hands on
the quotations without making
purchases.
Half a dozen wires run from the net
| work strung on the Western Fnion
j Telegraph company's poles in Sixth
! avenue, over the roof and down into
! the hark parlor of a house iti West
| Thirty-seventh street. The house is
! like the others in the row. It is a
brown-stone front with modestly cur
tained windows. There is an iron bal
j cony in front. Green ivy climbs tip
! the heavy balustrade leading to the
entrance and intwines itself in the
Iron-work of the balcony. The pres
ent occupants have been in the house
only a short time, and it is within the
I past few weeks that the wires have
been put tip. Were it not for the
wires, which are discrectlyjtrained like
honeysuckles up the back of the house,
I no one would take it for anything but
a private residence, and as f--r that
matter thecasiijil observer would even
now take it for nothing else. Hut the
wires have thrown the neighborhood
into a ferment. They have wondered
| what their purpose was, and time has
not only increased their curiosity, but
J excited their suspicions a* well. They
1 have not made bold to go to the house
■ and find out, and have consequently
j lived in a state of perplexity The
■ people in the neighNirhond even went
so far as to seek the owners of the
property, but they, t<o, w re ignorant
on the subject and could throw no
light on the mystery.
A rejsrt r called at the house one
I day lately to solve the mystery. A
j woman answered the and the
j caller was shown nto the front parlor.
The door of the back parlor was partly
j open and through it came the sounds
of a "ticker," such as are sis-n in the
! offices of brokers to register stock
• quotations. There was a telephone
| and a messenger call in sight la-side*,
i There was a de*k mar the "ticker,"
I at which sat a woman, and there was
| something pf an air of business about
' the room. The front parlor was
! handsomely furnished. Fine engrav-
I ings hung on the wall, and a grand
piano stood in one corner. Near the
I front windows was a large desk
with a roiling top, which was
closed. The woman who admitted the
caller was a middle-aged person with
blonde hair. Sh wore glasses and a
light, well-fitting dress, and was brisk
in her airs. She explained that the
"tickler " was put in for her own use.
"1 have dealt in stock* for ten years,"
she said. "If ladies want mo to buy
stocks for them, I will do so. I require
an ndvanrc of ten per cent., and I will
buy no less than 100 shares. I charge
one-eighth to buy and one-eighth to
sell. I defv you to find any lady who
has lost any money in deals with me.
If any one has 1 have yet to know it.
You can see what kind of a busi
ness 1 tin," ami she exhihited re
ceipts for purchases through a
well - known house downtown,
which were made out to Mrs. C. B.
Morse. "As I said, I will take no
orders for less than 100 shares. I
charge ten per cent., so that if the stock
goes down a jtoinf or two or three the
margin w ill not lie wiped out. Here
is an advertisement of what is known
a* a bucket-shop." she went on, point
ing to a notice in a morning paper.
"Do you suppose a legitimate business
Is done on a margin of two to three per
cent.? Noindeed—that is,simply gam
bling. No stock is bought or sold. 1 <lo
no advertising and I want no puff in the
newspapers. If the ncigldturs wanted
to find out altoiit the wires, why didn't
they mine in and ask about them. I
have leased the house for three years
and have a right to put in as many
wires as 1 like,"
The woman asked the person at the
lieker how a certain stock stood, and
the reply in a pronounced French ac
cent came back. " 64|, madaine."
" Hasn't it reached 65 yet?"
- No, madfim."
A <lecline in another stock brought
forth the remark. "Well, I am glad
I am out of that."
A lady In black, evidently an in- j
f vostor, was In the parlor when the re
| porter called.
Inquiry revealed the fact that the
number of female investors wan rap
idly increasing, ami that they risk their
money, many of them, quite as boldly
as the men.

At tin! Worcester Chieago game Mr.
A. G. Spanieling, manager of the Chi
cago club, was seated in the reporters'
stand at the ball park. lie occupied a
chair near the cast entl of the stand
while the first five innings of the game
were being played. The Worcester*
hod gained a run in the fourth inning,
hut the home team had been successful
ly retired for five straight innings.
1 The Chicago* were playing their best,
but "luck was dead against them." At
this stage Dalrymple, the veteran left
I fielder of the Chicago nine, came over
to where Manager Hpaulding sat ami
said: "Mr. Spauhling, will you move
fiver in some other chair? That was
the seat Harry Wright occupied during
the games we had with his club."
Spaulding laughed, but hurried out of
bis place to a chair further down the
line. The home team made throe runs
in that inning, and won—live to one.
"Are ball-players very super
stitious?"
"Somewhat," replied Mr. Spauhling.
and he proceeded to explain some of
the incidents and conditions supposM
to influence the plav.
The players a* surely Isdieve that
ducks or geese on the homo ground
presage defeat for that team as they
do that an umpire can materially add
to the discomfortuf a nine. Daly had
great belief that Spaulding in Harry
Wright's seat would throw all the bad
luck imaginable on the Chicago side.
Captain Irwin alway*- -pits on the coin

a game. Jack Howe pull* the little
linger of hi" right hand for luck, and
all sorts of chance omens are sei/<-d

The time of the great Truy-Buffalo
game, which lasted for fifteen innings,
early in the season, the score
thr*e to four for f<*urt'*-*n innings,
when the Buffaloes, seeing a single
gleam of sunshine which burst through
a ma** of surly clouds to light nji*>n
the ls-m h upon which they sat await
ing their turn ;tf the bat, took heart at
on< e, went vigorously and confidently
to work, ami bv hard hitting and great
luck brought in the run which gave
them the game. So superstitious were
they that it would be hard to convince
them that the rift in the clouds was
not their lucky "streak."
An old legend that formerly prevailed
among the pioneer players was to the
effect that a white horse seen by a
player on the day of the game, followed
by I**ll ringing of any sort, was a sure
omen that the club would suffer in
glorious defeat. It ha* lu en tested too
often, the early birds used to declare,
not to come true. The entire team will
never sit down at one time on a bench,
neither will they allow a dog to cross
the diamond before a ball ha* been
batted if they ran help it.
I.arkin, now of the •• Met*," had an
idea that he would g'-t hurt some
time for playing on Friday, and
sure enough, in a game one year
ago with a college team, he was struck
with a ball in the stomach arid was so
badly injured that his life was disc
paired of for a time.
The Chicago team thought that by
donning their old tri-colored caps again
in their games with the Providence
team they would defeat them, and sure
enough they won tbri-e straight games.
Whether it was owing to the caps or
not,, no one is rash enough to explain-
Daly had an idea that lie must say
nothing until lie bad l*s-n to the bat
(if on the batting side) for the first
time. His golden silence was a

What I)o You Fi.kep On ?—Do you
j sleep upon a feather bed? We hope
not. Years ago a feather bed wassuje
posed to be an important part of a
housekeeping outfit. If you have a
I feather bed put it in the spare room,
lock the door and lose the key. A
curled hair mattress of the best quality
makes one of the most desirable
I couches, but rurlad hair is expensive
and all eannot afford it. The next best
thing, indeed, almost as good, is af
forded by the plant so dear to every
American farmer—lndian corn. Whoev
er grows corn need not lack for the most
comfortable of bed#. We are aware
that ticksare sold filled with husks with
the stem part left on. A l#*d of this
kind is not the kind of liu-.k bed we
have in mind. To make the very best
possible husk bed save the husks from
the greiNi corn as it is daily used. The
husks are coarse and should lie slit.
An old-fitshiori'sl b.i<- le I, where there
is such an implement, answers well,
but a substitute can be made by <lr vitig
a f< w large nails through a board and
liling them sharp. Drawing the husks
a< r<s these will slit them into shreds
an inch or le-* wide. An old carving
fork may be used to slit the husks.
Then put them to dry in a garret or

The Indian chiefs were arrayed gen
erally in buckskin legging* of their
own manufacture. They were fringed
at the sides and at the bottom met
their liedel moccasins of the same
material; they were generally supplied
with a waistcoat or other garment
which they had not disdained to ac-
I eept fmm Uncle Samnel, over which
was thrown a scarlet blanket. Their
] heads were arrayed in a shock of
feathers and plumes of the wild turkey,
from which extended a tail of the same
material that fell down their liack,
• reaching nearly to the ground; their
necks and wrists were ornamented
with beads, the claws, bills and lucky
hones of birds and animals. Queer
rings of pij>e stone or of metil were
in their ears, noses and upon their
ringers, arid their cheeks, arms and
hands were decorated in l>olly Varden
fashion. The point is of their own
production, obtaiued by the steeping
and mixing of certain roots and herbs
with which they are familiar. Others
of the male Indians were often simi
larly dreaned, but the chiefs excelled in
' so-called splendor all the rent. The
men were of stalwart, athletic form*,
erect in Waring, reserved, not alto

were haggard in appearance and pre
maturely old, caused by the burdens of
work and exposure which their proud
