SOMERSET,
noTiiEsvsicnT.
t'nder the apple bough she sits,
Ths sunshine in ber flying hair,
liinif ling and laughing through the snow,
OI rosy flakes about ber there.
And as I gaze I picture me,
Beside this darling of our souls,
Two Innocents with softer locks.
Half ringlets and half aureoles.
They frolic with her In ths grass;
They listen to the bird, tbe bee;
They catch the petals as they fall;
They babble music In thelrglee.
They teach tbe little eartbllng bow
The cherubs play ia heaven's courts.
With some great gracious angc! near.
And smiling on tbemat their sports.
Oh, do I really look upon
Those delights of Tanished years.
Or do I only dream them there
llcetiuso 1 see her through my tears?
VOX BY PRO-YY.
BY A. S. T. M.
"No, sir, I cannot consent to jour
marryinir my daughter."
"Uut why not, Mr. Merrill, why
not? Have you aDy reasonable ob-
lection to mv person ruv charac
ter?"
"Vour person ? O no excepting
that you are too confounded good
looking. If tt had been otherwise,
Eva might bo a little docile now."
"But my character, Mr. Merrill,
bare you any fault to find with
that?"
' No, you seem honest enough ; I
do not suppose that you would steal
that if, anything beside my daugh
ter, and I shall take pretty good care
that you do not steal Ler."
"Then what is it sir, may I ask ?"
"Eva, Mr. Deldon, has been spoil
ed and pampered and petted. She
docs not know how to do a useful
thing. What kind of a wife would
she make a poor ruaa ?''
"But I am not poor ; I have a large
salary. I could not, of course, give
her a carriage quite yet, nor a bx at
tho opera, but she would not bo oblig
ed to exert herself at all. I shall be
perfectly well able to keep servants
and dress her handsomely, even
richly."
"But you may lose your Gne salary
at any moment."
"I have tie confidence of my em
ployers Mr. Merrill, and they are ex
ceedingly kind."
"Well, don't say anything more. I
am very decided about this, and I
beg that you will drop tbe subject.
I wish you to discontinue your visits
to my daughter at once. I shall be
very glad to hear that you aro pros
pering iu this world, but I caunot
give you Eva. The comfort and
happiness of my daughters, are ray
first and last considerations."
"But she loves me, sir."
"She will gei over that ; y-ung
girls are not reliab'e. Uood morn-iog-,
Mr. llcldoD, I have tola jrou my
wifih pray do not oppose it."
1 be young man seized his hat ana
quiciiiy withdrew; but as be was
passing the parlor door, a little white
hand was laid upon his arm and be
was drawn into ihe room and ei
ly questioned by tbe lovely owner of
the aloresaid hand.
"What did he sav, llecrr. what
did he say ?"
"lie forbade me coming to th
house at ill, Eva."
hbe laid Ler band ou his arm arid
burst into tears. Drawing her close
ly to him, Lc talked in low soothing
toces, until suddenlr raising her
eyes to Lis, the said, "I cannot give
you up, Henry, I in7 not give you
up. li you cannot come to see me,
shall go to se tou."
i.r i tt. ...
j, my uaning mat will never
do."
"Then yon are willing to relinquish
me so easily ?" she asked, drawing
oerseii awav irora him.
"No, dearest, never, never, but we
shad bo obliged to resort to strataeem
and I have a friend who will assist
me. I must go now. for if roar fa-
toer should bud me with you, be
would be very angry," and after
pressing Lis lips to hers, Le tore him
self awav.
William Curtis was seated in hi
office, bat on, feet resting upon tbe
niautle-piece in regular bachelor
fashion, when Henry Beldon entered,
looking eager and excited.
"Glad to see you old fellow," ex
claimed tbo former : "but see here,
what's tbe matter? You look & little
down ia the mcctb, it sppears to
me.
"Will, I want your assistance."
"How, where and when ?"
"I want you to woo and win a lad
lor me."
"What's that?"
"Just what I 6aid, exactly."
"But supposing sLe should be like
the fair maiden of olden times, and
say, "bv dost tbou not speak for
tbvsclf:" lou know. Harry. Iam
not such a bad looking fellow."
"O, it a the fair Eva, is it 7 hy,
what's the matter there, that you do
not woo and win ber Tourself : '
Her father has forbidden me tbe
house because I Laven't money
enough, but be will never object to
vou, as vou are one of fortune's fa
vorites, you know. So I want you
to devote yourself, to Eva, and give
me a chance to meet ber when ber fa
ther thinks she is with you."
"Well, 1 don t know ilenry.it is
putting me in a very dangerous
place. Miss Eva is a very fascina
ting vounz ladv. However, if vonr
heart is set upon it, I'll run the risk.
What shall 1 do first?"
"Go and invite ber to ride, thea
when you get to Meridan's lane, I'll
relieve you
for
a w
bile of rour
charge."
" bv. IlarrT, van are better at
maneuvering than 1 imagined; when
shall it be ?"
"Call cpon ber to-night and invite
ber to ride with you to-morrow af
ternoon, then I will me?t you at tbe
place mentioned "
"All right, but what am 1 to ex
pect for this friendly service?"
"There's a younger sister coming
on. Will.
"Well, that is according to your
taste, you knviw. Maude is a very
pretty'girl, nnd will soon make ber
debut in society, so yoa had better
have your eyes wide open."
That evening tbe gentleman called
aa requested, upon Miss Merrill, Md
invited ber to ride tbe following day.
At breakfast the belt morning kr
father said to ber, "Eva, I am qoile
willing that yoa should tneoarage
Mr. Curtis' attentions ; be ia a very
promising man."
ESTABLISHED, 1837.
PA., WEDNESDAYJUNE 23. 1875.
"And has plenty of money," she
added dryly : "parents are always
willing to encourage tbe attention of
yount; men that bare a fortune, or
the expectations of one. Money re
deems a multitude of sins. They
may drink, cheat or steal, if they are
only rich. Bat if a man ia relying
upon bis own exertions to maks his
way in tbe world, no matter bow
good and honorable be may be, be
is treated like a vagrant or felon,
bate such injustice.'
"Don't grow ill-natured, Eva, it
would Swon spo" Jut beauty,"
"I bad ratber be Ill-natured than
mercenary," she retorted.
"I suppose you think your father a
tern; le old bear, because be won't
let you plar at lore in a cottage
scrubbing floors, washing dishes,
cooking salt pork, c."
"I think you are very cruel," she
said, and bursting into tears, she
rose from ber seat and left the room.
Her mother's eyes followed ber, full
of tenderness and sympathy, bat Mr.
Merrill only laughed, sayiug :
"She will be in love with Cur'.is in
a week, you see if she isn't"
"O, no," 6aid tbe mother, "Eva is
very constant ia love and friend
ships, she will not change, I know."
"Mr. Curtis is not in love with Eva,
nor she with him," exclaimed Maude,
a beautiful girl of seventeen years.
Indeed, Miss, and what do you
know about it?"
Tbe young girl blushed very red,
and then laughing a little answer
ed.
I can see, papa, as well as other
people."
"Vou bad better attend to your
books and not trouble yourself about
your sister's anairs."
I shall soon ue through witu my
tiresome old books, and have some
affairs of my own," she retorted sau
cily. I beg, "danae, that you would
wait until Eva is settled before yoa
begin your flirtations. I shall cer
tainly grow crazy if I have two to
look after." ,
I am going to parties this winter,
-as. a a
papa, and or course i snau toot my
prettiest, and then and then. "
"It is time to go to school, so no
more nonsense, out come ana kiss
me good-by ;" and the young lady
did as requested.
.That afternoon Mr. Curtis called
with a dashmg little turnout, and
took Eva off in triumph, the young
girl looking bright and happy enough
to warrant her father's predictions ;
but at Meridan's lane another young
gentleman took his place by ber side
and indulged in certain demonstra
tions that bis predecessor had not
dreamed of. They passed one j de
lightful hour together, the horses al
lowed to take their own pace, mean
while, and apwa rewralog to tfa place
Dointed Henry sprang out and
young Curtis again sprang inland
drove tbe lady home.
This programme was repeated
week after week, Eva, of coarse los
ing neither health nor spirits under
such a regime. At length, one day
when Harry Beldon was with her,
who should tbey see coming but Mr.
Merrill himself.
"What shall we do ? What shall
we do ? asked the frightened girl
"Haven't yoa a thick reil, dar
ling?"
"Yes, yea," and immediately tbe
article in question was drawn closely
over ber face, and shivering with ap
prehension ther met tbe severe par
ent, who gave them both a searching
glance as be passed by.
"O. Harry, do yoa think he knew
me
"Not unless he recognized your
dress.
"Then I'm safo eaougb, for papa
never knows whether l am clothed
in purple, green or yellow. Forta
nately I bad this veil ; I shall regard
it in tbe future as my kindest friend.
Wasn't it funny ?" and she went off
into a fit of joyous laughter, so con
tagious that ber companion soon join
ed in her merriment.
That evening Mr. Merrill turned
to his daughter saying, "Eva, I do
not think yoa need wear the willow
any longer for Mr. Beldon, he seems
to be consoling himself."
"What do yoa mean, father 7" she
inquired very demurely, but almost
choked with suppressed laughter.
"I met lum riding with a lady to
day so closely veiled that I could not
see her face ; they seemed to be en
joying themselves yery much."
"I do sot suppose Mr. Beldon wul
be silly enough to make a hermit of
himself, and renounce the societv of
all etber ladies, because he has been
dismissed from tbe house of the girl
he loves. 1 nope that be wul bad
consolation somewhere."
I think, Eva, that yoa bad better
find consolation in the society of the
gentleman yoa were with to-day."
"lbe gentleman 1 was riding with,
papa ?"
" 1 es, dear."'
"Why, wouldn't you object to my
marrying bim : '
"1 should be most happy to see yoa
his wife."
"Well, 111 tell him then," and
aughing mischievously, she ran out
of the room.
"So much for a girl's love ! What
did 1 tell you, mother! I knew, she
would be fascinating with tbe next
good looking lellew that came along!"
exclaimed tbe gentleman.
I have not changed my opinions
yet of Eva," she replied.
"Have not changed your opinions?
Yoa do not believe that she is still ia
love with Beldon, do yoa V
V aa and see."
Why I have just riven mr con
sent to her marrying William Cur
tis and he went off happy as a
bird."
Tbe mother smiled incredulously, ,
but aaid nothing more.
The next day Mr. Jdernu was sit
ting ia his office, when suddealy the
door opened, and Eva catered, lean
ing on Mr. Beldoa's arm, looking
very happy, bat a little nervous.
My buaband, lather," aaid the au
dacious little lady.
"What's that 7" he inquired, posn-
ng back bis chair.
"Don't scold now, papa," she cot
tinned, "yoa said 1 might marry tha
gentleman I rede with yesterday
and this is he. I was the veiled lady
yon saw coaeeliag him.
Mr. Merrill locked Terr grave for
a mcmeaV asyd thea said : : 1
"Well, children, your two young
beads were more than a match for
my old one ; go and see your moth
er." And the happy couple were very
sure that they heard a sound strongly
resembling laughter, as tbey left the
room.
"Papa," said a sweet voice, a few
moments afterward, yoa were anx
ious, yoa know, to have Will Curtis
in the family, and he is willing."
"What do you mean, Maude. You
havent commenced your affairs in
good earnest, have you ?"
"Eva is settled and Mr. Curtis
wants me to marry him.
"Not for two years yet."
"He is willing to wait." And

Tha Kaa-Estllag; Tree of Haul acaaear.
If you can imagine a pine apple,
eight feet high and tbiak in propor
tion, resting upon its base, and de
nuded of leaves, you will have a
good idea or the trunk of the tree,
which, however, was not tbe color of
an bnana, but was a dark dingy
brown, and apparently as hard as
iron, i rom tbe apex of this fastica
ted cone (at least two feet in diame
ter) eight huge leaves sheer to the
ground, like doors swinging back on
their hinge3. These- leaves, which
are j lined at tbe top of the trees at
regular intervals, were about eleven
or twelve feet long, and shaped very
much like the leaves of an American
agave or century plaut. Tbey are
two feet through in their thickest
part, and three feet wide, tapering
to a sharp point that looked very
much like a cow's horn, very convex
on the outer but now under surface)
aid on tbe under (now upper) sur
face slightly concave. 1 bis concave
surface was tbiekly set with strong
thorny books like those upon the
head of a teazle. These leaves,
hanging thus limp and lifeless, dead
green in color, had in appearance tbe
massive strength of oak fiber. The
apex of the cone was a round white
concave figure like a smaller plate set
witinn a larger one. 1 his was not a
flower, but a receptacle, and there
exaded into it a clear treacly liquid
honey, sweet, and possessed of vio
lent intoxicating and soporific prop
erties rrorn underneath the rim,
so to speak, of the undermost plate,
a seriei of long, hairy, green tendrils
stretched out in every direction to
ward the h orizon. These were seven
or eight feet long, and tapered from
four inches to half an inch in diame
ter, yet tbey stretched oat stiffly as
iron rods. Above these (from be
tween the upper and under cop) aiz
white almost transparent palpi rear
ing themselves toward the sky, twirl
ing and twisting with a marveloas
incessant motion, yet constant!?
reaching npward. Thin as reeds and
frail as quills, apparently, they were
yet five or six feet tall, and were so
constantly and vigorously in motion
with such a subtle, sinuous, silent
throbbing against the air, thrt they
suggested of serpents flayed, yet
dancing on their tai's. My observa
tions on this occasion were suddenly
interrupted by the natives who had
beea shrieking around the tree with
their shrill voices, and chanting what
Headrick told me were propitiatory
hymns to the great tree devil With
still wilder shrieks and chants they
now surrounded one of the women,
and urged her with the points of their
javilins, until slowly, and with de
spairing face, she climbed up tbe
stalk of the tree, and stood on the
summit of tbe cose, the palpi swirl
ing all about her. "Tisk I Tisk!
(Drink ! drink !) cried the men. Stoop
ing, she drank of tbe viscid fluid in
the cup, rising instantly again, with
wild frenzy in her face and convul
sive cords in ber limbs. But she
did not jump down as she seemed to
intend to do. Oh, no ! Tbe atrocious
canibal tree, that had been so inert
and dead, came to sudden savage
life. Tbe slender, delicate palpi, with
the fury of starved serpen:s, quiver
ed a moment over her head, then as
if instinct with demoniae intelligence,
fastened upon her in sudden coils
round and round Ler neck and arms,
and while ber awful screams and
yei more awful laughter rose wildly
to be instantly strangled down again
into a gurgling moan, the tendrils
one after another, like great green
serpents, with brutal energy and in
fernal rapidity, rose, protracted them
selves, and wrapped her about in
fold after fold, ever tightning with
the cruel swiftness and savage te
nacity of anacondas fas-toning rjpon
their prey. It was tbe barbarity of
the Laocoon without its beauty- this
strange, herrible murder. And now
the great leaves rose slowly and stiff
ly like the arms of a derrick, erected
themselves in the air, approached
one another, and closed about tbe
dead and hampered victim with tbe
silent force of a hydraulic press and
the ruthless purpose of a thumb screw.
A moment more, and while I could
see the basis of these great levers
pressing more tightly toword each
other from their interstices, there
trickled down the stalk of tbe tree
great streams of the viscid honey-like
fluid, mingled horribly with the blood
and oozing viscera of tbe vietim. At
sight of . this the savage hordes
around me, yelling madly, bound
ed forward, crowded to the tree,
clasped it, and, with cups, leaves,
bands and tongues, each one obtain
ed enough of the liquid to ma! him
mad and frantic.

Genius is not aristocratic. She
docs not seek marble palaces or
turreted castles to dwell with king or
noble; but loves rather to linger ia
the humble heme of the peasant,
among tbe poor and lowlv. Of
course there are exceptions to this, as
to every other rule, and many of tbe
rich and titled have become fa
mous, but generally the favorites of
genius are those who bavo no long
line of ancestors to look back upon
with pride, no coffer whose golden
contents are never exhausted.
One of the trials, coming band in
hand with the fame and success
which ever attend men and women
of genius ia the curiosity of tbe world.
Their private life must be fully un
folded to the public gaze and they,
patiently or not, mnst submit to the
rude scrutiny. This curiosity, to
some extent belongs te every one;
we all have a desire to know what
Shakespeare did when a boy, what
ho said and how he acted; if Milton
was happy in Lij home life; if Mozart
every quarrelled; if Michael Angelo
ate and drank like other men; and a
thousand other similar questions
present themselves to everv mind
, while thinking of the lives "of the
great and famous.
We should not seek to raise tho
veil which shields a homo from envi
ous out-siders; but since it has been
already uplifted, there surely can be
no impropriety in taking a peep be
neath. In an old-fa3hioned country vil
lage among tbe hills of Yorkshire
stands a quiet parsonage, where
dwelt the author of "Jane Eyre."
The house is of gray stone, strongly
roofed with flags, in order to resist
the winds which sweep fiercely
across the mooriand.. The church
is on one side, the school-bouse on
tbe other, while the purple moor3
stretch faraway beyond. Under the
windows of the parsonage grew a few
plants, hardy one3, for such only
could endure the cold and rigorous
climate.
In this dreary and desolate place
lived, wrote, and died that woman of
true genius, Charlotte Bronte. 'The
bad roads cut off all the communica
tion with the surrounding country
and all the intelligent and education
of the Bronte family were far superi
or to their neighbors; their lives one
might say, were bounded by tho
home circle. Their father spending
all of his time ia bis study, the moth
er an invalid confined to here, room,
the brother and Bisters early learned
to depend upon tbemselve?. After
the dath of her mother and two el
der hildren, Charlotte supplied their
place to ber younger sisters, and the
cares iociaVeot upon such a position
caused her to become old and
thoughtful berood ber vears. Such
were the home and circumMances of

some of their own vigor and strength
into ber writings, the purple -Loath
sorae of iu fragradce and beauty;
ber isolated position, so unusual for
a yoang girl, gave ber aa originality
and freedom of thought that has made
her famous. Yet when we think of
ber small circle of acquaintances, ber
uninteresting and desolate surround
ing?, it seems truly wonderful that
one tbns situated could Lave given
to the world works of such thrilling
interest and power as "Jane Eyre,"
"Villette," and "Shirley."
Tbe home of Mrs Browning, one of
the world's favorkc poets was in

A clay-built eabin in Ayrshire was
the birth place of Scotland's greatest
poet, Robert Barns. He was a sim

The Torparfe Chicken.
No city in the country has suffered
more from the class of vagabond
chicken thieves than Memphis, but
thanks to French ingenuity.a panacea
for the growing evil has been discov
ered and its name is the 'Torpedo
Chickea." This little machine is as
near a chicken as human skill can
make it. It is covered with feathers,
with perfect bead, legs and wings.
It is Boft to the touch, and the Ieg9
and wing3 are flexible, and can be
moved and placed in positions simi
lar to those of a genuine chicken,
and when set upon a perch the de
ception can not be discovered even
by an expert. Like other chickens,
too, if a burning match is placed near
its nose it topples off the perch, and
when it des it falls with the weight
and destructiveness of a bombshell.
Inside of tbe automation is placed a
torpedo which explodes if it is taken
by tbe legs or struck with any force.
Hearing of this ingenious machine,
a Front street merchant recently
ordered a number of ther i with which
to experiment Some Lalf dozen of
them were secretly dif.ribatcd Fri
day to persons who cornplained from
aanovance from chicken thieves, and
about tbe time other chickens seek
their roosts they were placed con
spicuously in the bea homes, and the
persons setting them retired to await
the results.
A widow lady named Mrs. I.
Simmons, living near Fort Bickering,
who has been much annoyed, and
whose watch dog was poisoned only
a few nights since, was so anxious
to know the result of tbe experiment
that she sat up to await tbe coming
of the visitors. About one o'clock
she beard some subdued voices out
aide the fence which surrounds her
bouse, and soon after the scrambling
noise made by a person climbing
over the fence. Sooa there was a
flutering in the hen Louse, a subdued
cackle, and then a noise like the dis
charge of a heavily loaded gun. An
agonized shriek of pain and retreat
ing footsteps told of the success of
the machine.
The lady who before was filled
with anger and thought only of ven
geance on the thieves who had so fre
quently taken her chickens, was now
filled with alarm, and half way re
gretted Laving used the torpedo chick
en. She did not have the courage to
go out doors alone, but called to a
neighbor who had been aroused by
tbe report. He accompanied her to
the hen bouse, where a great noise
was being made by the surviving
chickens. Several Lad beea killed
and some maimed by the explosion,
A search was made for tho torpedo
chicken, which was finally found
among the wreck of poultry. The
body of the machine wa3 Llowa

intact, tifrhtlv rrasped by a huge

I W. W. W.
There are such a number of reci
pes for killing lice on Lens that it is
di.licult to determine which is best.
We U3e only one thing, and that is
sulphur, and in the following manner:
Whenever a Lea takes a nest for set
ting, fresh, clean hay is put under the
eggs, and one tablespoonful of sul
phur scattered over it. Tui will
sift in among the hay, and the
warmth of the hen will be just suffi
cient to cause slight fumes to arise
and kill all vermin which may be oa
the hen or in the nest We Lave
practiced this plan for the past twelve
years, and neither a lou?y chicken or
mother has ever been seen ia our
yard during the time named.
This is our preventive for lice oa
young chickens. Every spring we
have our poultry house and roosts
thoroughly cleaned and whitewashed
inside, and then scatter flour of sul
phur ia every crack and corner, and
liberally over the floor. Do this and
repeat it in the autnmn, aad we wiiil
venture to say that you will have no
vermin on your fowe's. To kill the
lice od tbe old fowels immediately,
