DRIFTING.
Echoes or cathedral music
Hoard It may be long ago,
Linger with us unforgotlen,
Haunt tig still and live and grow ;
The; are drifting, softly drifting
Through the wild unrest ol life,
Golden organ-notes, uplifting
Weary souls above the strife.
Thrsugh the clamor of the city
Round our outer being roll,
Still those sacred notes arc tilling
All the chambers of our touls ;
As If touched by hands Immortal,
Stray cords, tremulous with love,
Drifted through some open portal
Of the wondrous church above I
In the gray nnd silent morning,
Ere the shadows are withdrawn,
When the white mist hides the valley
With a veil of airy lawn ;
Then we listen hearing slowly
Through the stillness deep nnd calm,
Murmurs of that music holy,
Like the cadance of a psalm.
When the summer sunset lingers
Low adown the crimson West,
And the weary hands arc folded
With the blessed sense of rest,
Then. we listen strengthened, soothed
By the magic of that strain,
Till the furrowed brow is smoothed,
And the heart grows young again.
They are drifting, softly drifting,
Through the great world's daily strife,
(J olden organ-notes that tell us
Of a new and better life :
Low, clear music, sweetly bleuding
With the spirit's voiceless cry;
Under tones that have no ending,
Echoes of eternity 1
HOW GCSSIE SIXXED.
" So you've made up your mind to lie
Mrs. Kembrandt, Gussie r"' .
Aunt Rachel 'went placidly ou with
her knitting, and never noticed the red
banner of blushes that suddenly threw
their shade on her niece's pretty, saucy
face.
" Because, if you haven't my dear, I'd
strongly recommend you to look a little
further ; as far as Ashdale, for instance.
Harry Livingston is a splendid fellow,
Gussie worth a hundred Karl Item
brandts." " You are always so opposed to foreign
ers, auntie. I'm sure Sir. Rembrandt is
a perfect gentleman."
Gussie took up her favored suitor's
cause with an indignant enthusiasm that
would have made him think her more
charming than ever.
" Perhaps, so far as the usages of so
ciety are concerned ; but not according
to my old-fashioned ideas."
A contemptuous little sneer curled
Gussie's pretty red lips. " As if Aunt
Rachel had any idea of what gentility
was !" she thought to herself.
Aunt Rachel, all unconscious of her
niece's silent criticisms, ceased her knit
ting, and looked out of the window, far
away over the brown November fields,
to the large white house on the hilltop,
with its bright green shutters, where her
favorite, young Harry Livingston, lived,
with neither wife, mother or sister.
"You haven't compromised yourself,
Gussie, have you r"
" It might as well have been, for I am
pretty certain I shall marry him."
Aunt Rachel sighed, then took up her

minting again.
" Of course you are old enough, and
ought to be fur-seeing enough, to choose
your own husband; but I tell you Gus
sie, think twice before you marry a man
whom no one has known longer than
this summer, when there, over the fields,
waits a home and a man who would lay
down nis ate tor you.
" I am not afraid to trust Mr. Rem
brandt. He is far superior to the other ;
and, Aunt Rachel, you take no surer
course to make me thoroughly hate the
man I now am only indifferent to, than
by continually singing his praises."
" He deserves all I can soy, and more.
I only wish you could see as I see, Gus
sie ; as all the neighbors, and even Mr.
Livingston, see."
A hot, angry red shot up into the girl's
face.
" Of course Mr. Livingston is jealous ;
the neighbors are dying for their own
daughters to get married off, and are
envious that I, a summer visitor, should
carry off the one prize. Besides, I care
not what any one says, if I myself am
satisfied." .
" But, are you satisfied ? Ab, Gussie,
child, how can I send you home to your
father with the news that this strolling
German stranger has won his daugh
ter's affections 1"
"Strolling German stranger! Aunt
Rachel, what do you mean '("
Gussie Averill arose from her seat by
the warm, sunny window, and confront
ed the lady with flashing eyes and low
ering, defiant brow.
"We will not talk on the subject
further, my dear. You are getting angry
with your old auntie; this handsome
stranger has crept in already between
us, and I pray he will not alienate you
from all your friends. Come, Gussie, I
want you to run to the village for more
yarn. Will you '("
So completely had the old lady chang
ed the conversation, that Gussie was
mollified in spite of herself.
"Of course I'll go; and you'll forgivo
me ':"
Very pretty Gussie Averill was, in her
stylish suit of brown sateen cloth, trim
med with its full plai tings, and orna
mented with a voluminous sash. The
little round hat trimmed with the long,
curling, brown ostrich feather, brought
out all the rich tints of her brunette
complexion, and enhanced the saucy
brightness of her brown eyes.
Karl Rembrandt, as he stood at the
door of the post-office, and lifted his hat
so gracefully as she passed, thought how
exoeeding fair she was, and a smile of
gratified trumph crept under his heavy
moustache as he noted the rich color on
her cheek when he saluted her.
He made no secret of his admiration
for her, and openly awaited her return
past the office, knowing there was no
other way for her to go.
It was not long before she came back,
and then he walked on beside her ; his
low, devoted voice causing quick heart
beats. " You knew I was going to leave Ash
ton in the morning :'''
He caught a rapid glance of her suddenly-startled
eyes as they met his a
moment.
" But, you will return i"
" Oh, no. At least, I think not, I
have been idling ever since August, and
now it's not more than a month from
Christmas. I have to regret but one
thing in going."
He lowered his voice, and Gussie
wondered if he heard the rapid pulsa
tions of her heart.
" And that is, the leaving you, Gussie
AverilL You surely know how dear
you are to me? You must have seen
how I love you ? Gussie, do I love in
vain P or have I read aright that elo
quent face y Tell me i "
They were without the outskirts of the
village, with not a single soul in sight,
and the handsome, impulsive German
lover had lifted her blushing face to his,
and deliberately kissed her lips.
" I need no verbal answer when those
eyes meet mine. Gussie, I I now you
love me, and knowing that, I am going
to BHk you to marry me, and go back to
New York to-morrow with me."
She uttered a little cry ; it was so sud
den, so strange.
"Do I terrify you with my precipi
tateness, my timid birdling ? Think of
it ; think of how we love each other.
Remember that I am not a poor man, to
see you struggle along as best you may,
but that I am able to give you all the
good things of this world. We will go
to the parish rector and be married ;
you can return to your aunt's, I to my
hotel, and no one be the wiser. To
morrow I will take you to your father,
and the next day we will start on our
wedding-tour to my loved Germany,
where we will be to happy, my Gussie I"
His fervid tones, his mesmeric eyes,
had a strange, not uncomfortable influ
ence over the girl ; and she began to
wonder if she had not better consent,
rihe loved him, and what matter was it
if she was his wife sooner than she had
anticipated.
And Rembrandt took her hesitancy
for a half-consent, as it indeed was.
" My darling will come with me 'r1 We
still have the time ; let us return, and
go to tho rector's."
Gussie knew her whole heart was
filled with a strange tremor of mingled
terror and love ; a sensation that fasci
nated her, so new, so curious it was.
And with this odd feeling, this soft,
winning voice in her ears, and Karl
Rembrandt's dark eyes looking into her
own, Gussie Averill went deliberately
on to her fate. At the silent hour of
the gloaming, she and her husband
parted at Aunt Rachel's gate.
And when she handed the old lady
the tiny parcel, she said :
" This cool, frosty afternoon's walk has
done you good, Gussie Averill. Your
cheeks are like blush roses, and your
eyes like stars!"
The tea-things were all removed from
the warm, bright dining-room, and Aunt
Rachel came in from the kitchen, with
her big white apion tied about her portly
figure, to hand Gussie a letter.
" It came in one to me from your
father. He tells you, I suppose at
least, he does me that he wants you to
return to-morrow. There has been a
serious burglary at the house ; all the
silver and your poor toother's diamonds.
I suppose he wants you to see to replac
ing them, or else attend to the house
while he goes after the thief."
Gussie tore the letter open, and list
lessly read it through ; then leaned her
head against the old-fashioned chimney
corner. ' I have only one parting favor to
ask, Gussie. Will you grant it '"
She nodded yes, for, somehow, she
felt an unspeakable weariness of spirit,
not the sensation a loving bride should
experience.
" I took the liberty of inviting Harry
Livingston over to spend the evening.
You don't care you'll see him '("
Why should she cure she, Mrs. Karl
Rembrandt 'i and an amused little smile
played over her lips. Would she see
him? Of courso! There was a mali
cious pleasure in knowing he never could
win her now.
So, an hour later, he came, with his
joyous, manly presence, that somehow
never struck Gussie so forcibly as that
night.
Suddenly a rapid knocking disturbed
the little group, and Gussie's father
came in.
He was pale, and a little out of breath,
and took the chair Harry offered him.
" We've tracked hint to Ashton,
Rachel, and the police have him now."
" The burglar ' I am glad. Who is
he?"
Aunt Rachel asked the question, little
thinking what the answer would be.
" I don't know. His last alias is Rem
brandt, Karl Rem "
A loud scream from Gussie, and then
she fainted in her father's arms.
It was when the earliest Bpring flowers
were blooming that Gussie awoke from
the illness that dragged her down to the
River's brink ; and then she learned all
the story. How her husband she
shivered when Harry Livingston's kind
ly voice spoke it had boasted he had
married the daughter of the man he had
robbed ; how, when arrested, he had de
liberately shot himself rather than be a
prisoner. How that Mr. Averill and
Aunt Rachel loved her as ever, and how
he, Harry, leved her more than ever, and
wanted to take her to Ashdale, to be his
bride. And in after years, when Gussie
Livingston counted three daughters of
her own, she used to warn them against
the sin that well-nigh wrecked her
whole life.
Kiss Mr Wife cr Fight.
There are a few married men who are
not averse to seeing their wives kissed,
but a correspondent relates the partic
ulars of a case in which a newly-wedded
Benedict felt himself insulted because
his wife was not kissed. The bride
groom was a stalwart young rustic, who
was known as a formidable operator in
a," free fight." His bride was a beauti
ful and blooming country girl, only six
teen years of age, and the twain were at
a party where a number of youns folks
of both sexes were enjoying themselves
in the good old-fashioned style, ft very
girl in the room was called ont and
kissed, except 11., the beautiful young
bride aforesaid; and, although there
was not a youngster who was not dying
to taste her lips, they were restrained by
the presence of her herculean husband,
who stood regarding the party with a
look of sullen dissatisfaction. They,
however, mistook the cause, for suddenlv
he expressed himself :
lvolhng up his sleeves, he stepped into
the middle of the room, and in a tone of
voice that at once secured marked at
tention, said :
" Gentlemen, I have been noticing
how things have been working here for
some time, and I ain't satisfied. I don't
wan't to raise a fuss, but"
" V hat is the matter. John ?" inauired
half a dozen voices. " Have we done
anything to offend you t
" Yes, you have ; all of you .Ltve hurt
my feelings, and I have got just this to
say about it. Here's every girl in the
room has been kissed nigh a dozen times
apiece, and there's my wife, who I con
sider as likely as any of 'em, has not had
a single one to-night ; and I just tell
you now, if she don't get as many kisses
the rest of the night as any other girl in
the room, the man that slights her has
got me to lick that's all. Now go
ahead with your plays."
Spontaneous Combustion.
A contributor to the Boston Journal of
Chemistry says :
Any light that can be obtained -on
spontaneous combustion adds not a lit
tle to the value of real estate. We be
lieve a large percentage of the fires
charged to incendiarism are really owing
to spontaneous combustion, so called.
We purpose giving three cases, two of
which have come under our own experi
ence. 1. Within a year, twenty-eight rolls
of cotton cloth in one of our large dye
ing establishments were dyed black, and
were delayed a few days before they
could be starched and finished. Two of
these rolls were discovered to be on fire
not in flames, but in a smoldering
condition, or charred into tinder ; a third
roll was so hot that' hands could not
handle the cloth, and the wooden roller
upon which the cloth was wound was
heated almost to the point of ignition.
The rolls of cloth destroyed were the
first dyed, and consequently had been
longer exposed than the others, which
in a measure explains why all the rolls
were not in the same condition.
In the dyeing, the first rolls were dyed
without washing, by an oversight of the
dyer. This is the point of importance,
as the chemical salts were left in the
cloth. Logwood, potash, sulphate of
copper, and sulphate of iron constituted
the dye, and we suggest this explana
tion as the probable cause of the fire.
The potash and sulphate of iron change
to sulphate of potash and hydrate of
iron, by the absorption of oxygen from
the atmosphere or from moisture in the
cloth, and the heat thus developed
reaches the point of ignition. Cloth in
drying is very liable to contain heated
moisture.
2. Within a year a fire was discovered
in a silk-mercer's shop in London. The
fire originated in a lot of black-dyed
silk, and was discovered, as in the first
instance, before flame had burst out.
The conclusion reached was that it was
not safe to have black-dyed silk in large
masses, and that each piece ought to be
so placed as to allow a free circulation
of air. We think it quite probable that
the explanation of the combustion is the
same as in the preoeding case.
3. In trying to get rid of rats in a
dwelling-house, the floors were taken
up, in order to cut off their ingress, if
possible. The box that held the hot
water pipes was found to be a favorite
resort for the vermin, and had actually
been on fire. The sides were charred,
but there had not been sufficient air to
sustain combustion. Upon investiga
tion as to the cause of the incipient fire,
we are not left long in doubt, for a store
ot remnants of greasy cloths used in
washing dishes was found, which had
been brought by the rats from the
kitchen. Some of these were charred,
and the others were well saturated with
grease and oils. This fire was quite a
distance from the kitchen range, forty
feet at the least.
It would be very natural in all these
cases, if the real causes had not been so
apparent, to attribute tho origin of the
fire to incendiarism.
We have a very firm impression that
the introduction of coal oils for lubrica
tion of machinery has very materially
reduced the number of fires from spon
taneous combustion, owing to the fact
that the coal oils do not absorb oxygen ;
and that for this reason, if for no other,
insurance companies can afford to insure
mill property for less rates than they
charge at present. ,
A Telegraph Dispatch Tube.
The necessity of sending telegraphic
dispatches from one part of a town to
another, without the loss of time oc
casioned by going through the busy
parts on foot, has induced the post-office
authorities to sanction the laying down
of an experimental tube in the busiest
parts of the city of London. The tube
is three inches in diameter, and is in di
rect communication with the Fleet
Street branch from the main office. The
messages, as they arrive by the wires
from the provinces or the Continent, are
deciphered in the usual manner by
clerks, and those intended to be deliver
ed, say a mile from the receiving office,
are then inclosed in a light cylinder.
This cylinder is covered with felt, and
when filled, it is inserted into the tube,
and the flap or cover closed, when a
strong current of air, being blown into
the tube and behind the cylinder, forces
it through to the branch office. In a
recent experiment, the carrier occupied
about four minutes of time to travel the
distance, 2,05$ yards. Shunts are pro
vided so that the carrier can be sent in
any direction, as intermediate flaps or
points are closed to allow it to pass, shut
ting aud opening of the points being
first communicated by wire. The carri
ers are capable of being drawn or sent
back either by suction or by a blast at
the opposite end.
The invention is considered of great
value by the authorities, as it will ex
pedite the delivery of the messages in
fact, something of the kind was needed
from the continually increasing use
made of tho telegraph by the public,
since it has been in the hands of the
Post-office Department. We under
stand that that Mr. Siemens, the inven
tor, has been authorized to extend the
tube to the station at Charing Cross,
with branches leading to the post-office
en route, so that if the working be found
successful, of which wo have but little
doubt, there will be a complete system
of tubes all over London iii a very short
space of time.
The plan will, in course of time, be
employed for sending letters to the vari
ous branches after they have boon sorted
at the head office, and this will unable
them to be delivered in about half an
hour after being posted. Ijondon Me

pedition to as near the North Pole as he
can get, is on the ways at the Navy Yard
receiving a complete overhauling, and
when the workmen are done wi(h her
the stout little vessel will be almost as
good as new. Heavy timbers are being
used to strengthen her, aud inside her
sheathing there will be a couting of
cork. She will have in her two boilers,
one of which will use blubber, the only
fuel accessible in some portions of the
Arctio region. To protect her propeller
when she reaches the ice fields she will
carry a propeller well. Constructor De

the former Arctio expeditions have been
fitted out, has the superintendence of
the work, and is giving his personal
supervision to the fitting out of the ves
sel, which is of 387 tons burden, and
will probably take not more than one or
two guns. The expedition will leave
here in May or June.
TARM AXD HOUSEHOLD.
Something About Flowers Re
marks on House Plants. At the last
monthly meeting of the Rhode Island
Horticultural Society, at Providence,
there was some pleasant talk about
"House Plants:"
Mr. Levi Metcalf said ho had boon
quite successful this and previous win
ters in raising varieties of hyacinth, and
other plants, in pots, in a Wardeau case
at a window, where the plants had
the sun about two hours and a half
every day. The case should be kept
open, or they need expect no blooming
plants. The hyacinths would look,
after the sun had shone in on the
closed case, as if they had been dried or
steamed. At night however when he
lit the gas, he would always close the
case. lie would recommend everybody
to have a case of this kind, rather than
to grow plants in or upon a window.
The case had better be laid on a table,
lined with Kino. Fill the case half full
with good clean Band, put the sand in
dry ; the moisture would go through
the pots and the glass would be wet in
the morning, sometimes too much so.
The general trouble in growing house
plants was that people lived in too
warm rooms. Most plants were best
suited by a temperature of about fifty
degrees, while some plants grew better
in a higher temperature. About fifty
degrees was best for japonicas, gerani
ums and carnations, while most peo
ple like to have their rooms at a tem
perature of about seventy degrees.
Where a person had but a few
plants, they could be cleared of insects
at any time they chose, but he thought
it indispensable to take out decayed mat
ter from the case as soon as convenient.
He was was in the habit of rearranging
his plants once a week or so, as a means
of refinement.
The president thought there was very
little difficulty in growing hyacinths in
the house in pots. He begun ten years
ago, and soon arrived at one result, that
for plants to flourish in the house there
must be moisture in the uir. Ho lived
in a large house, heated by a furnace,
the air was very dry, the furniture crack
ed with heat, there were seams in the
doors, and the skins of the people resid
ing in the house appeared parched and
dry. He introduced a system of venti
lation, and found that a great change
followed for the better. The tawituro
no longer cracked, the seams in the doors
closed up, throat and lung ailments
ceased to trouble the inmates of the
house, and the plants began to flourish.
From this experience he drew the in
ference that the air necessary for plants
was also necessary for the good health of
men, women, and children. He had
been led more lately to believe that lack
of ventilation affected plants even more
than lack of moisture. Sulphuric acid
accumulated in rooms kept closed for
some time, and that acid was fatal to
plants. With his rooms properly venti
lated, however, he found that the plants
flourished as well as in the old-fashioned
houses with fire-places. Plants needed
occasional washing and to be kept care
fully clean of insects. He had carried
one hundred plants through winters, on
all sides of the house, north, east, south
and west, without losing any of them,
and having flowers all the time. Another
gentleman aid that epsom salts were ef
fectual in removing insects from plants.
Gardening as Woman's Work.
This has long seemed to me an employ
ment in which women would not only
gain health and strength, but in which
the most modest and retiring might find
a congenial occupation, and the products
of which are never depreciated because
raised by a woman. A peck of peas
has a certain market value, not depend
ent upon the hands which raised them.
A woman who works at making pants
receives fifty cents a day, not on account
of the amount or quality of her work,
but because she is a woman. A man
engaged upon the same garments re
ceives f2 a day, not because of the
amount or quality of his work, but be
cause he is a man. It is doubtless true
that, in very many cases, the man does
his work better than the woman ; but it
is not lees true that, in a majority of
cases, the difference in price grows out
of the difference in sex. So of the
school. A male teacher receives $1,000
a year, not because his moral influence
is better, not because the pupils learn
more, but because be is a man. A woman
teaches a similar school, and receives
$100, not because of the inferiority of
her moral influence in the school, not
because the pupils learn less, but because
she is a woman. Now, happily, all this
is avoided in gardening. A man who
would sell a beet is not obliged to put
on a label, " raised by a man, ten cents,"
and upon another, " raised by a woman,
four cents," but the article brings its
market value. This is a great advan
tage, und one affording a spcciul gratifi
cation to women of spirit. Besides,
gardening is an occupation requiring
very little capital, and, except in the
fancy depnrtnunits, comparatively little
training. Near any of the cities a
woman can earn uioru upon a half acre
of land, with four mouths' work, than
alio can earn by sewing twelve months,
saying nothing of the, health! illness of
gardening, and tho unluMiltlil'iiliU'ss of
sewing. Our (nrlK, by Iho Jjiri.

Salt for tho Throat.
In these davs. when diseases of the
throat are so universally prevalent, and
in so many cases fatal, we feel it our
duty to say a word in behalf of a simple,
and what has been with us a most effect
ual if not a positive cure for sore throat.
For many years past, indeed we may say
during the whole of a life of more than
forty years, we have been subject to sore
throat, and more particularly to a dry,
hacking cough, which was not only dis
tressing to ourselves, but to our friends
and those with whom we were brought
into business contact. Last fall we were
induced to try what virtue there was in
common salt. We commenced by using
it three times a day morning, noon and
night. We dissolved a large tablespoon
ful of pure table salt in about half a
small tumblerful of cold wattr. With
this we gargled' the throat most
thoroughly just before meal-time. The
result has been that during the entire
winter wa have been not only free from
coughs and colds, but the dry, hacking
cough has entirely disappeared. We at
tribute these satisfactory results solely to
the use of the salt gargle, a ad most cor
dially recommend a trial of it to those
who are subject to diseases of the throat.
Many persons who have never tried the
salt gargle have the impression that it is
unpleasant. Such is not the case. On
the contrary, it is pleasant, and after a
few days' use no person who loves a nice,
clean mouth, and a first-rate sharpener
of the appetite, will abandon it. Iklig-
