A Norse Legend.
A Norse king mt in his hall one nighl,
And tho tempest was racing without;
The sou roared and dashe<l on the rocks near
by,
And the lights of her van were out.
A great fire blared with a dariling light
On tho hearth ot solid rock;
Hie brighter it glonined tor the hl.irkne.-n ol
storm
And the sound of the ocean's shock.
While he sat and talked, a bird tlew in,
And over the monarch's head;
llionout through the open casement again.
To the wilil, dark night it sped.
''Such is lite," said the king, "from ilarkncss .
to light,
From sunshine to storm, without rest;"
'•Yes, sire," a courtier replied, "yet the bird -
Has somewhere in safety, a uost."

THAT GOLDEN CURL.
Perry Dayton sat in Ida stuffy little
office, busily glancing over a heap of
letters which that morning's post had
brought for the establishment of
Messrs. Park A: Ilaily. He came to
one addressed in a peculiarly daintv
feminine hand, and opened it with a
little more curiosity than he had de
signed to bestow upon the others.
"Inclosed please tind invisible
hair net color of hair sent. Ad
dress Miss Ella Terrell, t )akha\ en. vt
cetera."
"Miss Ella Terrell has very lovely
hair," thought the young man. ex
amining the long curl attentively. It
.was golden-brown, and shone radiantly
in the beams of sunlight which at that
particular moment came pouring in at
the little window.
"Perhaps, though, it is n >t !cr own
nair."
However, he laid the letter and soft
coil aside, resolving to match that in
visible net himself.
It was very strange, but a vision <>f
a young lady with golden-brown hair
would keep intruding itself between
his eyes and the remaining letter-.
{Sometimes brown eyes a<■■ -ompanicd
the hair, sometimes blue. Now it was
a petite figure again, "divinely tall
and most divinely fair."
Having skimmed over flieni all. lc
iietoolc himself to that compartment of
the establishment devoted to such
articles as the on- re<piircd. Ho\ after
Ihix he examined, and turivd away
dissatisfied. He be iron to despair
Here was the identii at one at last. !!••
carried it in triumph to the office and
Is-gan to write:
"I have, toy dear Miss Ella, at last
found one to match your beautiful curl.
•I hope—"
"What li>h I am writing! Why,
•Perry, nM Ih>v, you're cb'on gone!" to
'exclaimed, tossing the offending mis
sive into the waste basket.
Inclosing the article in a wrapper,
rie addressed it. and 1 lid if with simi
lar parcels on a shelf, at the same time
consigning the etirl to his vc-t pocket.
"Of course you are aware, Mr. Day
ton, that some one must go north
shortly to attend to that business in
Liverpodl; and as we have found you
faithful in the discharge of yourduties,
and place the utmost confidence in
your judgment, Mr. Ilaily and myself
have decided that you are the one
to go."
Thus spoke the senior partner, com
ing into the office where Perry was
sitting. This happened a few months
later. Perry's beaming face fully ex
pressed his appreciation of this mark
of esteem. •
He was to start in two ,U; s. This
was Thursday. The next Wednesday
morning found our friend taking
breakfast at the Adelplu hotel, Liver
pool. The business would probably
keep liiin there a month or so. He
had plenty of leisure time, ami devoted
it to viewing the sights.
One evening he enter-sl the office of
a young fellow connected with the
business house of Park \ Ilaily, and
1 found him making an clalHirate toilet.
"Why this unusual and unnatural
regard for thy appearance, o Treve
lyn?" he exclaimed, advancing into the
room w here liis friend stood.
J "I am going to a party. Don't you
vvant to come?"
"Yes. Where is it
"At Old Swan, four miles away.
We will take the cab at eight pre
cisely.**
Trevelyn was well-known and liked
1 at Old Hwan. He had livtsl there
several years, and so it was that Perry
was presented to some of the nicest
' people in the place.
He was talking with Mrs. Langdon
when lie discovered that Trevelyn was
dancing with a very pretty young lady.
Bhe had dark eyes, a small oval face,
and was dremieri in some airy, floating
material. Hut Iter hair attracted his
attention particularly. It reminded
)iilit of a curly lock which lie hail car
ried ulmiit for several months. And
then slie wore an invisilijc net, which
was probably what caused him to
mm on Ist that other lock.
"Don't, you agree with me, Mr. Day
ton ?"
"Oli, yes, indeed!" he said, having
not the slightest idea of what Mrs.
Langdon was talking about.
The waltz came to an end at last,
and the two found their way to where
our friends were seated.
"Won't you introduce me to the fair
dancer?" Dayton asked at the earliest
opportunity.
"Was Miss Terrell engaged for the
next dance?" A glance at a dainty
programme proved the contrary.
"Might he have the pleasure?"
"M."
"What a delightful turn that was!
Dayton had never enjoyed anything so
much. He had some thought of tell
ing Miss Terrell that a lock of that
mass iif wavy hair was at that moment
lodged in Lis pocket. A propitious
fate permitted him to dance again
with Iter during the evening, strut even
to accompany tlu-ir party to supper.
The text day Trevelyn and Dayton
called to pay their respects at the
Terrell mansion. This was not the
la-t time. And then Perry I<dl Into
the habit of going without Trevelyn.
The weeks slipped awav ipiietly, and
at length Perry discovered that lie was
madly, wilillv, hopelessly in love with
the lair owner of the fateful net.
One day there was to lie a picnic.
Nature extended herself to the utmost
on till- particular occasion. No one
had ever expericncisl a more delight,
fully pure atmosphere. How fresh
everything looked' how sweetly the
birds > mg' A uncling road through
the trees lisl them at length to just the
place they were looking for. Then
came the bustle of alighting and col.
lecting the baskets, and all sat down
for a general i hat before going off in
exploring parties.
The ddights of pienies were being
warmly discussed, when a find
gentleman on horseback was seen
appr • a hmg through the tree- at one
side.
He -seined in no wise disconcerted
by numerous pair- of eyes bent Upon
ti i in.
"Why. I'eggy. where did y>>u i rune
from ?" cried Mis- Ella, prettily, while
the pater et mater shook him warmlv
by the hand.
"I found my-elf able to In- with yoit
earlier than I expected. They told me
you were all booki-d for tin- day -o I
determined to follow -siut."
"It is s i nice that you happened to
rone-,n this part c olor ilay' We are
going to have such a nice day!" -aid
Mrs. Terrell.
"I'm let - i sure of that." soldo
<pii/ed Dayton, gloomily, remarking
11 o w plea si-1 Kiln seemed at the advent
of this stranger.
"Mr. Dayton Mr. lir ydon."i auie at
last, and our friend found the keen
gray eyes giving him a searching look
during the process of a graceful low.
"I think Princess would thank me
for a drink of water."
And tirevdon pr.xeisl.sl to lead the
handsome animal to the stream a few
steps off.
Ella, excusing hi'self, gracefully
accompanied Mr. Lreydon. Already
daggers of jealousy seemed piercing
Dayton's heart.
"When is tlm wedding to come off?"
lie heard some one ask Mrs. Terrell.
"It is not (Jlllte deeded Vet; not
lief ore August."
"Then they are engaged! Why
didn't soliie one tell lite liefore I made
siuli an utter fool of myself?" Day
ton groarc-l
Everyone thought this precise
moment a suitable time for exploring
tours, and separated into groups.
The p'ir fellow* wamlerisl off by
himself, he did ret care whither. His
brain seemed on tire. lie was desper
ately in love. Why had -lie always
seemed so p|e.l-s| fo see hiIII ? lie
had thouglit s*i differently of lier!
What an idiot he was to go on loving
the girl' t Hie who could act so falsely
was not worthy of Ids affection.
These were .some of bis cxcitisl
thoughts.
. He would go back. He would show
Iter that the stranger's presence made
not the slightest difference to him.
He turned hastily, and discovered
that he had wandered some distance-
Arrived at the spot, he found Miss
Ella, evidently much fatigued, alone.
He approached, ami made a remark
atmut the weather. O, common place
young man!
"I was just wishing for some one to
come, and had a vague idea that the
nymph of the stream might venture
to show* herself if no one else ap
peared." she said, languidly, fanning
Iter (laming cheeks.
"I will retire in favor of the
nymph."
"No; I would rather see you now,
having no energy left for the con
templation of naiads."
Dayton's face lighbsl up for an in
stant, and then resumed its gloomy
expression
I
"Mr. (Jreydon has gone, and I stip
|Kwe every one else is off enjoying
; themselves," continued KUa.
"I thought Mr. (Jreydon was a tlx
; tare; had eoine on purpose to see you
—that is "
'"Dear nil', no!' laughed Kiln, "lie
Is on his way to my Aunt lluttie's.who
Uses at Liverpool. He is to marry my
cousin in August, and only stopped
here tocoasult papa about something."
"Miss Terrell Klla dear Klla! I
have been such a fool!"
Of course no right-minded person
would like to intrude on the con versa,
tion which followed; suffice it to say
that two weddings came off in August
instead of one, and one happy pair
! consisted of Klla Terrell and Mr. Kerry
Dayton.

A Forgotten Duel.
The tearing down of an antiquated
house at St. Augustine, Fla., brought
to light a rusty sword. To it U
I attached a story. Eighty years ago, at
a grand ball given by the Spanish g< n
( tleinan wlio lived in the house, two
officers came to high words over tho
attention paid by them to a beautiful
lady j.resent. They repaired to the
street and fought a duel with swords.
( One man fell dead. The other threw*
, away his weajmn and tied. A little
, ' ehild who had leen aw itness of the
encounter. |iieked uj> the sword and
, carried it into the house. It was hid

bloody dees I might be concealed. Long

Hi HI KIM# CENSUS RETURNS.
Slnllillra of lnaa.ui>-, Idiocy, Bllndnaai,
I'auparlaiii, t rim* anil llcoth.
Tho compendium of the "Tenth
Census," a volume of 17<JD jiagen, con
tains, among other things, a summary
of tlio rejxirt of Mr. Frederick 11. j
Wines upon the defective, dej.cndcnt,
and ilelinquent classes. The most
striking result of the work was the aj>- |
jiarently great increase in the niiml.cr
of those included in the three classes j
named. The number of insane persons
idiots, blind jtersons, and deaf-mutes, '
as shown by the several censuses, was
50,'J94 in iH.Mt; r.H,4.M in ISM; DH.SS4 I
in IH7<, and 'Jol.'i'JH in IHH<. In other
words, although the population has a |
little more than doublisl in thirty
years, the number of defective jieraons
rcturm-d is apparently nearly live tim*s
as great as it was thirty years ago.
The increase of pojmlution between
1 h7o and IHHi was only thirty j.er
cent., while the apparent increase of j
these defective classes was l.V'i per j
cent. While there wi-re only 2.V.4 d--
fis-tive jiersotis in each million in IH7",
there were r"18 in each million in
I**o. Mr. Wines says that it is iin- j
jH.ssjble to believe that there lias, in ]
I.let, l.een sogreatati increase. Kitlier
tin* enumeration in lis*o was excessive
or the enumeration iti l*7'i wimlncom* j
p|etThe bureau was assist.-.! in the I
work by *",(** i physicians, and Mr.
Wines Im lieves that a much more jier
fcet enumeration of the defective
.lasses, csjns i.iUv of the insane and
idiotic, has l.een secured than was ever
M-forc )ir.~-efit.sl in tli- fci-dnry .f this
or any othi-r nation, Of the in

Schools established for tin 111. I'f the
deaf p.r->.us, one-half were M-twcen
the ages of tive and twenty-one, but
j not more than one sixth of th<* lilitei

It appears that insanity atta- ks
women more fr.spieutlv than it d.s-s
1 men, but men <>n the other hand are
more lial.le to Im- idiot j. . blind or deaf.
■ The negro imputation is mudi in-.r.-
j liable to Idiocy than insanity. Ih-th
the m-gr-. and tto* foreign |*pii!atmn
are singularly more liabb t-. blindness
than to deafin-ss. The tendency of the
foreign |M>pu|ati.>n to insanity is
especially w-.rthy of atti'tiion. "It

toDir I arfttl Hints to Housekeepers
About WMhlnv and trotilng.
First have the clothes well sorted.
Let the table-cloths anil najikins be
washed by themselves, and ea h jdece
looked over carefully in order to see if
there are any fruit or coffee stains on
I the jiieces; if so, pour boiling water
I over the fruit-stains, several times if
necessary, until they are removed, and
' soak coffee stains for a little in cold
water, which w ill generally take them
J out.
Let the sheets, pillow-cases and cot*
j ton underwear bo washed and boiled
| together; then the towels and white
j cotton stockings; white shirts, gar
ments to be starchisl and handkerchiefs
could lie J.llt together, then tea towels,
and Jast of ail the flannels. That
••lotlies may be waslu-d clean, use a
good soaji and ati abundance of warm

j wash.si in a little water in the bottom
] of a tub, and a cheajt soap is not econ

Have the water merely warm in

\ in, and rub a little soa|> on <■ a-h j-i-s-e
before boiling. Do not Isiil <>v er hit.-en

The Minister's Coat.
In the days of early Methodism in
Northern Ohio, a preacher had M*cn
ajipointed to a new circuit, and wore
<>n his first round a fashionable broad
cloth frock-coat, which his tailor had
innocently j.rox idisl for him. This le
--came a source of great grievance to
i the hnmc-aptin laity, and it was finally
resolved to make it a matter of disci*
j.line. Si nt the lir*t quarterly confer
ence charges were prepared in due
form, and the offending minister noti
ttixl to M* present and make answer.
Entering the r.sun w here the presiding
elder and lesser magnates w ere assem
bled, the preacher strijqusl off his coat,
hung it on the back of a chair, and
(minting to it, said; "Sinn* it is the
coat that offends, try it. Could I preach
any sounder gosjicl in relies or cassock ?
It seems to me that it is not the man
ner of the coat, but the manner of
- the man in the coat, t hat should lie
considered." And there the trial
ended.
