We wurked ia silence, but, alas !
Among the cards a mighty spill,
And then tit. little ape exelainml,

1 gave a start and dropped my boa-kit

A sympathetic current thrilled,
Like lightning, through my heart and bead.
1 eyed with curious awe the child,
Th. unconscious Sibyl, when she sat,
Whose thoughtless tongue ouuld bable Uvth
Strange parables or life and fate.
Yea, such Is life a Babel bouse.
A common doom hath tumbled all.
King, Queen, and Knave, and plain, and trump,
A motley crew in motley fall !
We rearour hopes, no Pharoah's tomb.
Nor brass could build so sure a name ;
But, soon or late, a aad roUapa,
And great th. ruin of the same.
Ah, such is life ! Oh, aad and strange
That Lot. and Wisdom so ordain !
Some en th. Builder's hand hare yet
On. card against another lain ;
Some when the house Is tiny still ;
Some when you've built a Uttl. more ;
And some when patlenc.hathaehi.red
A second, third, or higher floor.
Or should you win th. topmost stag..
Yet ia th. st rent gh but Ml and pain

"What will become of ua. Aunt
Sarab, if they should take a noti on to
par as a visit ? Unprotected as we
are, we could not offer the slightest
defense, for James is such a coward."
James swelled in majestic dignity,
and looked as severely brave as anr
oral black face can, and deposited the
dish of ham and eggs upon the table
as if trying the strength of the dish,
when the young lady bv tbe Ore look
ed up from ber paper agaia to cay :
"why aunt Sarab, these burglaries
are quite alarming. There was ooo
last night witb'n only half a block ot
us."
The temptation to overpower this
piece of news quite overcame James'
wounded dignity, and be opened sun
wider his lips, and said :
"And one. Miss Annie, down at
Mrs. Parker's. Tbey took pretty
aear everything worth taking, and
Chief Burke is on their track, bnt be
has nuffin' to catch bold of 'eon with."
"Dear me." said Mrs. Sanborn :
"I hope poor Miss Jones and Mrs.
l'arker came to no barm, and toa!
Arethisa did not have hysterics. "
"De family, ma'am, as I said be
fore, has not been molested ; but eve
erything the villains could git bolt on
was carried off, and no traces of them
barn't been discovered up to the pres

"Aunt baran, tbi is serious ; we
are two lone women as well as Mrs.
Parker and her sister. Suppose they
come after our things, too."
"I don't know, I suppose the dan

to the Presidio for a guard of soldiers

"I know tbat you are as brave as
a lion. Aunt Sarah ; but I don't think
this a laughing matter at all. You
know you have a large amoont of
money in the house, besides all our
jewelry ; and what could you do, or
I. or James :"
"I am nu coward. Miss Annie, for
all you said so; but always the very
first thing these raskils do is to take
the man servants into the dish-closet,
so that tou see "
'Well. James, that would be of
little consequence, for if they did not
lock you in there, you woold do so
yourself," said Mrs. Sanborn, with a
sly smile tbat merged into a laugh as
James retreated. "There, Annie,"
she went on, "don't look so serious.
I will pack up all the plate to-day and
send it with all our jewelry and mon
ey ostentatiously to the bank ; and
we will live bere peaceiuiiv, ana eai
out of tin dishes, aud wear blue rib
bons all the time instead of our jew
els, if it will eontnbote to your peace
of mind."
Annie ate her breakfast in bait-
satisfied silence, looking decidedly
out of temper, which Mrs. Sanborn
observing, said :
And I'll tell von wbat 1 can uo;
I've just thought of it, and that will
be still better, l on recollect Nelson
Mowrr. don't you? He has just
come back from Arizona, has a leave
of abseiice indefinite and 111 write
a line to him at headquarters, and
ask him to come bere for a while and
mount guard over two unprotected
females. It will be quite in bis line.

said Annie, looking very earnestly
into her coffee-cup the while; "hasn't

"Then .Jane Jierger naa oeiier

Give a dog a bad name and ptag

Annie's eyes grew luminous, as she
went forward impulsively and kissed
ber aunt several times on her flushed
cheeks.

Childless herelf, she bad placed a
great amoont of affectioa on ber
handsome nephew, and bad fought
many pitched battles with bis prim
mother and austere step-father, and it
must be owned that Xelson 'was one
of those who give their friends
enough to do in this respect, ;.
After breakfast Annie went to her
own room and locking the door, went j
to ber bureau and took from ooe of
the drawers a photograph of a hand
some cavalry officer ir Union blue,
which after looking at it a long while
with drooping lids. Quivering chin
and mi6ty eyes, she suddenly kissed
passionately, and then, witS blushing
face, hid it with a rapidity (quite re
markable, considering bow f long fcbe
had stood looking at it Then she
went to the window aud looked long,
with her white forehead, pressed
against the glass in the direction of
the head-quarters of the United States
Cavalry, althoogh tbe actual view
presented t. her eyes consisted of
long lines of houses oa each side of
Mission street. The thought of el-
boq Mowry aa last sbe eat? bim,
mounted on his splendid blmk mus
tang which was no less fiery and
impatient of restraint than himself
of his large black eyes which Sashed
on ter a look that thrilled ber through
and through even now, of the lithe,
slender figure, of tbe curling brown
hair, that looked so glossy acd tossed
so free, aa he lifted bis plumed caval
ry bat, and tbe handsome picture
grew in her imagination to almost re
ality. She would have liked to be
lieve tbat Xels Mowry was no worse
than Aunt Sarah thought him ;
and I am afraid she found
aa many excuses for him
as did bis partial aunt though
she had a pertect right to like him
was he not her second cousin ? and
as for Jane Berger, with J her long
white hair and fisby blur eyes, she
never liked her anyway! She al
ways bung around him in masner
decidedly unladylike, tq say the
least" '1
So one can see that thd rmsccief-
maker in this instance, at! least, re
ceived her deserts. Yet fthers had
said that Xels was wild ; (hat he was
scattering his wild oats with a very
liberal hand; and others still said
tbat be "iouzbt tbe usrer.T and was
always "bard up." These last quali
fications seemed in her eyes the most
terrible of the cateo-ory.inasmuch as so
obscure and so seldom used by ladies,
and at such times with dolorous looks,
while the other fvo were spoken of in
a smiling way, or with a shake of the
head merely, over his wildness.
Still Annie sighed. Sbe would
rather not have had ber ort'y cousio.the
only scion of Mowry stock, so repro
bated, and so and so she only
sighed. i
It was very hard to believe him so
wicked, lookiug at bis frapk, honest,
darkly beautiful face, under
tbe light of the tbe bright
black eyes, or to be frigid under tbe
smile of tbe rich red lips tbat so often
parted ia a boyish laugh, disclosing
rows of white, even teeth very bard,
and o Annie thought it tbe next day,
as sba aR. demurely silent near
one of the windows, and listened to
tbe mciTy singing voice that was chat
tering solively with her aunt.
Nels bad seemed mightily amused
at hearing the capacity in wbich he
was invited to serve, ami on the
whole, impressed Annie with tbe
conviction tbat he would be badly
disappointed if no burglar afforded
him any means of exercising his
predilection for "battle, murder and
sudden death."
With these thoughts uppermost,
and withal, the fear tbat sbe after all
liked bim too well down in the bot
tom of ber beart, Annie wa3 shy and
constrained before ZVels to tbe lust de
gree. Haughty or dignified sbe
could not be, as nature bad not be
stowed on ber those unlovely attri
butes, but only an impulsive, passion
ate beart that fain would bold loving
and kind thoughts of all tbe world,
and believe tbe best of every man,
woman and child she met, particular
ly of ber handsome cousin.
Ia theory, you see, Annie had
shaken ber bead over tbe iniquity of
the world at large ; but in practice,
it was tbe feminine fashion to take
those with whom sbe came into actu
al contact much as tbey appeared or
professed themselves to be, and thus
after bestowing on tnem virtues, or
tbe semblance of them, which, I fear,
tbey had no claim to, except in Ler
innocent mind.
And all tbe shyness, and all tbe re
straint, did not deter Aels in the least
from setting himself to restore, at tbe
very first opportunity, something of
tbe old, familiar relations which bad
existed between them before bis Ari
zona exodus. He tbougbt over it
considerably, and smoked many ci
gars, seeing through tbe clouds of
smoke tbe pretty girl, scarce more
than a child whom he had left three
years ago and remembered tbe fact
that tbat separation bad given bim
a realheart-acbe at tbe time, and be
smiled to himself complacently at the
thought that neither of them had
grown any less handsome during that
lapse ot time, and be thought, too,
that Annie had tbe largest, softest.
brownest, and yet finest eyes he had
ever seen, and tbat sbe bad tne love
liest wild rose complexion tbat ever
was, and that sbe also bad the finest
figure of any woman be bad ever
met, and be admired her accordingly.
The sweet picture framed all this
while in curling rings of blue smoke.
fashionable girls, handsome girls,
gay girls, Indian girls, fast girls,
flirting girls, timid girls, and savage
girls Xels knew by scores, and bad
doubtless trade love to them several
ly and collectively, and talked non
sense to tbem by tbe hour, and waltz
ed with tbem by tbe mile, bnt some-
bow none charmed him as did this
tender, impulsive, passionate girl,!
who shook ber head at operas, balls.
and cigar-smoking, and who cried
real, heartfelt tears over tbe recital
of the capture of the brave, bnt ras
cally Apache and bis family, and
their summary execution mother,
babe, and all, scalped together
struck a new chord in his heart, and
be mentally wished he could take tbe
brown curly bead on his breast and
kiss tbe tears away.
Of course this being piquant and
new in his experience, he en
deavored to establish more amiable
relations with Annie, and in that en

MARCH 7, 1877,
deavor literally bhaduwed ber the
whole of the time, and in tbe hope
of impressing ber favorably, related
all tbe battles with the Indians, and
his own share in tbem, and all tbe
other scrapes into which he ever got,
and which, instead of causing her to
admire bis qualities as a fighter,
frightened her with his wickedness ;
and as. withal, bis bright eyes were
surely burning their way into her
warm heart, she felt greater need o'
guarding tbat particular portion of
her aDatomy, and sbe grew more dis
tant and reserved every day as her
only safety.
It astonished eood Mrs. Sanborn !
to see the curious stato of affairs be-!
tween these two ; but she wisely
concluded to let matters take their
own course, certain tbat in the end
they would take the tarn she hoped for,
as sbe thought no girl could help lov
ing Xelson Mowry, and no man help
being charmed with Annie Anstin.
Meanwhile bnrglaries seemed lo
become more frequent, and Chief
I'urke was doing the beat he could
to find out the culprits, but so far, it
was impossible to Uiseover even a
trace.
Annie and Mrs. Sanborn felt per
fectly safe now with the protector
they' had, and did not send tbe plate,
jewels or money to tho bank, as they
had intended.
Oae day tbe business agent of Mrs.
Sanborn came to her and placed in
her bands money and notes to the
value of fifty thousand dollars, wbich
she, with a smile of conscious safety,
put iu a small Japanese cabinet and
placed it in an unoccupied bedroom.
When Xelson came in be was in
formed of the reception of the money,
and be, with a boyish laugh and flour
ish of bis heels, asked to see it, as he
said he had never seen so much
money at once, and the sight would
do him "a beao of good." and to be
let bold it in his hands would
lift him 'to the "seventh heaven."
His aunt then led the way and call
ed Annie to follow, which she did
with reluctance, for she felt herself
in danger whenever under the fire of
the dark eyes. Xels playfully shook
bandfiils of gold and chattered away
a while, regardless of sense, and then
closing the cabinet and banding the
key to bis aunt, said :
"Aunty, I think you bad best place
tbet money in tbe bankat once
it is too great a temptation for mortal,
and if you leave it here there is no
certainty but tbat it may be stolen."
"I am not afraid, Xelson, not at all;
and I tbink with yon in the bouse,
no one would dare enter, and 1 will
tako the risk I am not cowardly at
all." '
I do not think yon are, aunty ; but
there is no necessity for your keeping
so much money ir. the house, and I
wish you would put it there."
"Yes, and the bank may break. I
never have deposited money in the
bank ; I have always kept it in tbe
bouse, and I am not afraid to keep it
bere now ; nor would I have given
it a second tbougbt but for Anne."
Tbat closed the appeal, and they
all left the room and went back down
stairs, where tbey found visitors
awaiting tbem, and among them
Jane Berger, with ber hair got op in
a way very surprising.
She engineered so skillfully that
soon she bad XeU away off in tbe
embrasure of a bow-window, and
talking to her in a very confidential
way. All tbe arts and graces of
wbich she was possessed she played
off tor his special benefit, and finally
was led to tbe piano, of which she
was perfect mistress.
All this was gall and wormwood
to Annie, who, though apparently
engaged in conversation with a
young gentleman and bis two sisters,
saw every motion and look that pass
ed between tbem.
Jane bad an air with her always
(wbenjwishing to be irresistibly cap
tivating) of tender interest in tbe
conversation of her company, and it
brought many captives to her feet.
Annie did not know this and nat
urally inferred tbat some tender con
fidence was passing and tbat proudly
guarded little beart of hers ached
very hard.
Jane Berger was a splendid Binger,
and her rich, sweet voice filled the
room as sbe sang a tender old love
soog, tbat vibrated with an apparent
depth of real feeling, as she raised
ber eyes to the dark ones bent just
then on Annie's luckless young friend
with a look that was very malig
nant Jane felt aggrieved, but grand
ly kept on, and sang another little
ballad, wbich Xels, with a triumph
ant giance at Annie, requested ber
to repeat She did, and he still look
ed at Annie as these words were
sung :
"Wert thou, my love, th. wild nigh-wind
That blows o' cr stormy sea,
And I th. rich, sweet breath of Spring.
I'd follow where It listed thee.
No storm so tierce, nor wind so cold.
Could tear me rruat thy tender breast.
For I would mingle with with thy life
Vntll we sank to silent rest.
Xels then went to Annie and asked
ber to sing, out sne refused, and, as
Jane was still at tbe piano, he went
back to ber and there remained dur
ing the entire time she stayed, and
accompanied ber home when she
went
Annie, after her friends bad de
parted, went up to ber room in no
enviable frame of mind, and ber l't-
tle heels clicked viciously as sbe
walked through tbe ball,' and when
at last the solitude of her room was
reached, she gave way to ber anger,
and stamped her feet and bit ber lips
to a considerable extent. Then she
opened ber bureau with a flourish
and took out the picture before men
tioned spitefully, as if sbe intended
the immediate destruction of it But
when it was in ber hand sbe seemed
to relent, and broke down inconti
nently and cried, I am ashamed to
say like any other heroine, and final
ly wound up by putting tbe offendiog
picture under ber pillow.
The next evening Annie was seat
ed alone in tbe parlor, in the moon
light, when Xels sauntered in and
seated himself by her side. She rose
op burridely to leave, but be begged
ber to stay, or he wonld tbink ber
jealons, he said. At tbat ste elevat
ed ber nose to tbe highest attitude
possible, and sat down again in a hur
ry and begao to laagh and chat in a
way quite surprising, considering
her osoal silence. Sbe made up
era
ber mind that be obould not
think sbe cared anything for him or
any other man who was fast, aad wild,
and fought the tiger, and made love
to half the girls in San Francisco, and
killed no end of poor, inoffensive In
dians not she indeed though I am
bound to say tbat she came very
near breaking down again as she
thought of ail this, but fortunately,
Xels asked her how she liked Jane
Berger's singing.
"Oh, very wel! indeed,'' a little
frigidly.
Don't you like her passionate, fer
vid way of giving her own nature in
her fongs, said be.
"Yes, sho biogs well.'

A bygone generation considered it
a vulgarity to be dyspeptic. Brum
mel once thought be bad eaten a pea.
Heroes of romance were pale, preco
cious yonths, and tbe principal charm
of their heroines was hereditary con
sumption or a spinal complaint It
was vulgar to wear thick shoes or
warm raiment, but you might laugh.
The fashionable defects were all
physical. These were the days of
the witts, tbe tellers or good stories,
tbe sayers of good things; of tbe men
and women whose sparkling titt'o tat
tle has become a lost art, and whose
recollections form a literature of their
own. It was not a better age than
this. The veneering bore a high pol
ish, but it was very thin. I am re
calling it simply to show what it con
sidered vulgar, and thus demonstrate
the instability of vulgarity. They
were allowed to be mentally natu
ral we to be so physically. We
may have tbe moscles of a prize fight
er, the appetite of Comoran, 'wear
two-inch soles to our brogues, and
ulsters under which our grandfath
ers would have fainted; but we may
not laugh. If a new Sydney Smith
were to come amongts us he would
bold tbe position assigned to tbe jes
ter of the Middle Ages. We sneer at
the reconteur of a party now and
call him its "funny man." "Fellow
stood or his bead at dinner time, by
Jove!" second Macaulay by our gol
den youth. It is vulgar to be amu
sing, "bad form"' to be amused.
Physical force prevails. In poetry,
faction, and on the stage a sensualism
reigns paramount To be interest
ing, the heroine of tbe period must
bave a splendid physique soiled by
physical lovemaking, and her soul
trembling on the 'Tagged edge" of
impurity. I suppose tbat spirits
bave "rushed together at tbe touch
ing of lips" time out of mind; only
it has not always been considered de
cent to put all the details into print
Kissing was all rigbt,consule planco,
but talking about it was vulgar.

Mocxd Builder's relics of singu
lar interest and importance bave
been unearthed on tbe Cook farm,
three miles south of Davenport, Ia.,
nothing quite so rich as Scbliemann's
Mycea:e find, but as notable for tbis
country. They are two small slabs
said to" be of "coal," whicb probably
should be written "shale," one about
one foot square, tbe other about six
inches, and both covered on both
sides with inscriptions. On the lar
ger, a religious ceremony, apparently
the worship of fire, though possibly
the preparation for a sacri lice. There
are fourteen human figures, sur
rounding a fire, with joined hands,
while near tbe (ire on one side is a
dead body lying in a circle, and on
the other side two such bodies. Two
little circles to the right and left
above tbe figures are supposed to rep
resent the sun aud moon. Surround
ing the worshippers are small figures
of birds and animals crowded thick
ly in the space, and among tbem one
suggesting the mastodon. On the
smaller slab are three circles, one
within the other. Between tbe inner
circle and tbe middle one is a char
acter at each of four equidistant
points, and between the middle and
outer circles are twelve characters ar
ranged like tbe hour figures on a di
al. Outside tSese circles, as all over
the reverse sides of both slabs, are
figures and signs which the learned
men of the Davenport Academy of
Science bope to be able to make
some sense out of. Tbe only account
we yet have of tbis discovery is a
meager and not very clearly writ
ten newspaper paragraph, but it is
stated tbat a full "scientific descrip
tion' is shortly to be published by
some of the aforesaid learned men.
At present, we only say that there
may seem to be some intimations
of kiDdred with tbe worship of the
Aztecs, with whom theory generally
tries to condoct tbe mound builders.

tbe merchants in question do busi

palaoquines as tbey are also called,
are about thirty feet in circumfer

rich variegated damask silk, fringed
round tbe edges, ornamented with a

Of course every one has heard of
the Xew England farmer who signed
the pledge, with the reservation that
he might drink all he wanted to
while he washed sheep; and bow he
kept tbe pledge three or four months,
and then got drunk in tbe middle of
January. A b-otber taxed bim
with breaking the pledge, whereup
on the farmer led him to the barn,
aud pointing to a shivering, dripping
old ram, remarked:
"I've (hie) washed the old (bic)
feller eight times (hie) already tbis
mornia', and I aint (bic) done a

A jour printer ia Pittsburgh is
equally as ingenious in keeping tbe
letter of bis pledge. Tbe great Mur
phy excitement there has been gath

he was "scooped" along with others.
Tbe "pledges" are printed on neat
cards, so tbat the signers can put
them in their wallet after attaching
their signatures. j

was a crowded one, and pen and

a half barrel of beer to the foreman
to treat the "coops." It was duly
tapped as soon as tbe last telegram

tbe exhilirating beverage, with tbe
exception of Hanley, who looked on.
At length be asked if it was good
beer, and was informed that it was a

pledge and looked at it fixedly. An
idea struck him, and he whistled a

Yesterday a young woman was
promenading np Frie street There
wasn't much that was remarkable
about her and sbe was homely. But
she was "so stylish." She was laced
and tied back till she looked like a
hoe handle, and she took steps four in
ches long. Sbe wore a patent tip-up
baton tbe southeast corner of ber
bead, and ber bair descended into
her eyes with "idiotically studied
confasion." Xear Prospect street
she dropped a little red bow with a
gold pin attached, and it fluttered to
tbe edge of tbe sidewalk. Sbe stop
ped and looked at it It might as
well bave fluttered to the edge of the
universe and dropped over for any
thing sbe could do to get it. She
walked aronnd it two or tbree times,
gazed sadly at it, and then walked a
block to Bolivar street, got a small
boy and paid him ten cents to come
back and pick np the bow. as the
boy rejoiued his companions, he re
marked: "Darned if 1 ever seen a wo

But it wasn't pride.

Gov. Kemper, of Virginia, in bis
recent message advised tax on oys
ters, and to give an idea of tbe fisher
ies be says :
Tbe estimate heretofore placed
upon the annual value of tbe oyster
fisheries cannot be successfully as
sailed. It has been ascertained that
in tbe rear lSG'J six thousand five
hundred and two vessels, of all kinds
and sizes, with aa aggregate carry
ing capacity of eighteen thousand
eight hundred and seventy-six tons,
wore engaged ia taking and transport
ing tbe oysters of Virginia to mar
ket In IsTj tbe facts were derived
from local observations, and publish
ed, tbat five hundred thousand bush
els of oysters were annually sent to
market from Chincoteagne tsiaaa
alone ; that tbey were sold at from
sixty-five to ninety cents per bushel ;
and lhat the cost of planting, gather
ing and marketing each busbel did
not exceed an average of thirty cents.
It would be a needless consumption
of time to cite other facta going to
show that tbe annual value of all tbe
oyster fiaheries of the State ia not less
than twenty millions of d Jlars.

quick as a flash took out a revolver,
and springing back several paces,
leveled it at tbe bead of the villain.
Tbe fellow was so astonished tbat he
in turn sprang back, and throwing
up bis hands cried : "Dont shoot,"
