A FEARFUI NIGHT. - -
I was invited to a lunch party in
one of the inland cities of fennsyl
Vania not long ago, and was much
impressed by the appearance or one
of the vouneer ladies present. She
was not beautiful, but united tbe
striking characteristics of a brilliant,
fresh complexion, ana a prolusion
of hair, white as snow, which was
wound on the top of her head after
the fashion of iIadrozo'BaMarquise,"
belonging to Mrs. A: T. etewart
She was very merry, a good talker,
and. I must confess. I contrived to
accupy the larger part of her atten
tion with the tendency towara mo
nonolizing the best which the mo
ment affords that I am told is often
observed bv mv familiars. "
After bidding adien to the ladies.
I turned to tbe obliging friend who
had been my Bponser at these inci
dental cavities of .and casually
remarked, after talking somewhat of
my new acquaintance : .
"Uy Jove wiiat hair I it accents
her whole aruearance. Wasnt she
lucky to achieve it young ?''
wy lnena removea nis cigar.
"That depends upon how you
look at it " I am inclined to think,
taking things by and large, that she
was. I doubt, : however, u she
wouldn't say to-day that the price
was rather laree. And it was a Dret-
ly Dig price, uo you. use suuies i
I'm minded to tell one, if you ' like,
about the white hair you admire so
a N-a " . - ! - a. - . A
much." . " . ,
We". went overto the hotel and
something- like this my. friend told
ne : . .
"You have no idea, you city peo
ple, the interest we country , people
take in the ' courtships , ol young
folks. rom the time Harry wells
began to sadle op to Mamie Clausen
at church socials until their mar
riage in the First- Presbyterian
church the entire community gave
minute consideration to their al-
taira. Mamie's father, John Clausen,
was and is now a prominent . com-
mission merchant, generally consid
ered wealthy, and has always, lived
at least like a man of means. Ma
mie was pretty and dashing, a local
belle ana a sreat favorite. Harrv's
peepl lived a few miles from town,
and they, too, were peopleof reputa
tion io the county;: Ola Jack Wells
represented us a lew times in the
Legislature and has accumulated in
one way and another a Handsome
property. s; -
The marriare was m everv way
a suitable one. - Harry was educat
ed at Princeton, and although be
had at one time the reputation of
being wild, he has sobered down,
and was at any rate such a frank,
manly- voting fellow that he was
generally forgiven any discretion.
As 1 say, the marriage was the oc
casion of general rejoicing. Mamie's
father gave her an unusually good
send off, and the details were sent
far and wide through the State.
Harry had studied law, although he
didn t have much natural inclina
tion for it, the old man thinking his
Eolitical experience might serve
any in that way, and had settled
down into a country notary, drawing
op deeds and doing up hack-work of
that sort They lived about four
miles out' of town, and two miles
from old Jack's.' He had built them
a pretty modern erttage on a detach
ed! portion of his form. Harry had
his office, an ornamental little struc
ture, a few rods from the house, and
there they lived -as happy as two
birds.
Gradnajlr Harrr nicked tin buai.
ness, and finally through bis father
be became 1x118108 tor me minor
heirs. They were an odd lot of chil
dren; with a half-crazy mother and
no end to coal mines and mining
investments. " It was s good thing
for Harry, although-it gave a natu
rally lazy man some additional work.
The worst thing was that it obliged
him to go to Scran ton now and then
and leave Mamie.'' You may imag
ine that there was a rood deal of vis
iting at the bouse of two such pop
ular young people,' and that four-
mile stretcn 01 oaa was generally
kept pretty warm.- When Hatty had
to go away Mamie would get m her
nhavetia aad "driver To town, and
there was always some of the young
people to go out and keep her com
pany. ' Harry always insisted that
she mustn't stay alone. - For a law
abiding State we have a pretty rough
lemAnt' in it and. althouzh we
haven't had much to complain of
here, there is a general sense of nn-
esaness.' ; - 'r '
OneAcust afternoon Harry had
an unexcected summons to go to
Scran ton about a suit connected with
the minor lieiri ; He had recently
gold some cf their property and had I
EST, A BISKD, 10S7.
PiU ' AHimi2; 1832:
been making various ccilecana,
which left in his hABds about (MXO.
When he round be bad to ro c J at
a few momenta notice he wrarped
up a bunaie ot papers ana bis mon
ey and took them into the house.
Mamie was making preparation for
a picnic they were to go to the next
day, and begged bim to wait until
the day after. 5
"But, my; dear child, I haven't
time even to go to town and put
these in the bank, so you U nave to
take care of them. " I'D try and get
back in two days at the furthest,
meanwhile nobody will know that
the money is here." .'" ' I.
Then he explained lb her the
value of the papers and handed her
. 1 i
a canvass oag, in wmcn was me
$4,500 belonging to the minor heirs.
"Where ' will I keep it, Harry?
Between the mattressee?" . t - "
"Just like a woman! ; No. but I
declare I dont know where to tell
you. The most insecure place ap
parently . is often . the most secure.
Any place, dear, but between tbe
mattresses. I leave that ' to you.
But you must guard it, if necessary,
with your life, for remember the
money is not ours, and at all has
zards I am responsible.,1; I dont
really suppose there is the least dan
ger, for no one knows I have it But
one ought to take proper precautions,
and I beg of you not to admit any
tramps while I. am gone. i Tell Sa
rah not even to allow them tojrtop
long enought to eat a biscuit" j -
"All right dear, we Wont let the
tramps have a drink even, and 111
take care of tbe money you may be
sure."., , . ' a -!.. ;
Harry ; bade . his wife good-bye
and Mamie gave up the picnic. ' At
the end of two days she received a
telegram from him, saying he had
been detained, and tellimr her to cet
some one . to stay with her for two
days. ' when he would be at borne.
She drove into town and one of her
old friends went out with her. At
the end of two days she had anoth
er telegram, saying he had been de
tained until the .next; day. Her
friend went home, and in place of
Harry came a third telegram, and so
every day lor ten aays ne was ex
pected home, and every day came a
disappointing telegram. ' By this
time she had become accustomed to
her charge. Which she had set like a
bag of seed beans in a corner of a
dark closet opening from her room.
Ibe .afternoon ol the tenth, day
was a hot murkey afternoon.. ;. Ma
mie had gone up stairs to take a nap
and refresh before dressing to meet
Harry, who was expected home af
ter the longest - absence he had ever
made from her. J ' ;- A
After a time Sarah came op and
told her there was a tramp down
stairs who wanted something to eat,
and who would not be driven off.
"You oughtn't to leave him a mi
nute alone,' Sarah. ! Go down and
watch him, and I. will come down
and send him of?. "' : ''
She dressed herself quickly and
went down stairs, surprised to find
how late it had crown. . When she
reached the kitchen she found also
messenger with another telegram
which' announced ' another , disap
pointment but the next day, with
out fail,' Harry . wrote, he would be
home.' As Mamie' turned into the
kitchen she heard the .tramp and
Sarah in evident dispute. -T '. .. ."
Yes " said the fellow, when that
time comes your mistress wul have
another ironing table, helpiag you,
instead of wearing .' her Sunday
clothes every day." ; "
"An' 8poilm' everything for me to
do over. I think 1 see her I've
work enough to do," answered hon
est Sarah, not indisposed to have a
chat, over her work. . " ". j ' '. '. 1 s
Mamie found a graceless-looking
fellow, unshaven and 'ill-dressed
who, with a certain gentlemanly in
stinct, rose up as she came in. .' :
1, suppose my girl told yoa we
had nothing for you, and that it will
be a great kindness if you will leave
as soon s possible.". "
Yes, she did just that, madame,
but I took it upon myself to belitve
it wasnt so urgent The truth is,
I'm very hungry and dead tired, and
I didn't believe but that yoa would
five me something to eat; at . least
've waited to ask yoa in person." '
Women are soft-hearted creatures.
Mamie went and got him something
to eat, herself.,. The darkness that
had been . increasing for some time
came down rapidly and there burst
one of those terrifuc thunder-storms
that gather so suddenly and with
such force in this country. After
its strength was spent and I re
member that it was the most violent
of the . season there, fell stead v
sheets of rain that brought Rock
Creek over the bridges before morn
ing.- ' i'.: ; ! : . . ' :T I '
"Madam, it's no use in talking.
Yoa cant mean to send a fellow out
in such a storm," said the tramp, as
the three stood on the porch watch
ing the storm. : 1 '.-...'.;
I'm sorry, butl vejio place - jor
you." : i ,
i "What, in a bouse lik this. . It's
a pity there isn't a cranny for a stow
away. I was . walking around it,
waiting for the girl; and it seems to
be able to hold three people." . ,
Yoa are very ; impertinent ; l
have no place for you, and the storm
is already breaking away." .
As she spoke even tbe . rain came
down in blinding , sheets, and light
ning streaked the heavens. -"..'..
Wtll,hetsidcaT,lely,"wedont
o much on manners on the' road,
ut I know I wouldnt send a dog

t Since General. Grant's appearance
in Washington, rumors about cabi
net changes have filled the air. He
may have nothing to do with the
proposed changes, but every body
seems to think that he has. : It was
thought. .that . the father-in-law of
General Grant's 'son, ex-Senator
Chaffee, would be made Secretary of
tbe Interior, but it seema that sena
tor, Teller, of Colorado, is to have the
place.- If the Indians read the pa
pers, they are now trembling in their
boots, if they have any boots, 'with
the announcement that Teller will
be over the-head of the Indian ' Bu
reau. Ua baa no sentimental' ten
derness for these unlovely wards of
the nation.. If the truth were known ,
he believes with : General Sheridan
that tile best Indian is a dead ' Indi
an,' and that they have no more right
to the splendid western domain than
the panther an cay otes while they
help to make it a. howling wilder
ness. " .We see too much efthe Indi
an here at Washington. There ; is
nearly: always a. delegation i from
sonie tribe, here ostensibly lor. the
purpose of having a talk with' their
"Great Father," President: Arthur.
Their talks amount to nothing, and
are good for nothing, and it is strange
that the President .does not stop
such: empty . hambuggery,' ..These
talks are gotten up by , the Indian
agents who become tired of the dull
ness and nothing-to-do-ness of fron
tier post life, and. desirous of having
a picnic, they bring half-a-dozen
filthy chiefs to Washington to talk
over some imaginary grievance
which if it were a real grievance
could be much . better adjusted on
the ground, at that end of the line.
To return from the frontier to the
Cabinet it is rumored - that General
Beale who was Minister, to Austria
under Grant's, first term, will be
made Secretary of the Navy m place
of Judee Hunt W'mi E. Chandler
is also talked of for the place, and it
is quite probable that one , of them
will get n r Judge ( Hunt can , well

uresqe Chinese embassador with his
large and 'picturesque suit will leave

him- the trade and the good will of

When a horse, cow, sheep or hog
dies the question arises as to where
they shall be placed. The location
being selected, it is there left as a
prey to carrion birds, dogs and in
sects, Sometimes tbe hide is taken
off and the remainder of the carcass
is thrown away. ' It is a serious mis
take to .waste the carcasses in such
a manner, as the flesh is rich for fer
tilizing matter of the most valuable
kind, and the bones are useful also.
There are several . methods of dis
posing of them without trouble, the
quickest being the immediate de
composing of the animal in the ma
nure heap, which is simply chopping
it up in pieces' and placing the
nieces in the centre oftbe compost
Or. if preferred, the carcass can be
taken to some selected. point and
covered with a thick . covering of
earth, there to remain until it de
cays, in which case the earth absorbs
the gasses to a trreat degree, and the
carcass is thus disposed of. It-should
be protected against dogs by a cov
ering of rails or boards, to prevent
the earth beincr scratched away from
it ' In the course of time the bones
can be ground or pulverized at lei
sure and dissolved with sulphuric
acid; which renders them' available
for plant food at ' once. Dead an
imals are som times more valuable
than when living. The French buy
dilapidated horses, kill them and use
them for fertilizing purposes. The
English are very careful to use
every' portion of them en
tral8, meat 'and bones. The
Dutch' have 'large pots filled with
boilingr water and ire. into which
they throw flesh and bones, letting
it boil for a few hours and afterwards
pour, when cooled, into barrels.
In a few weeks they find the bones
partly dissolved. .The liquid is
poured over the manure, the undis
solved bones first pounded and mix
ed 'with manure. This is a good
method of preparation, but the mass
should be comnoeed with earth, as
the lye is detrimental to the manure
heap on account of its propensity to
liberate nitrogen. ' The ' matter of
of the disposal of "carcasses is . not a
difficult one, as any farmer cau easily
summon sufficient ingenuity for bis
purpose, but .the ' fault . is that the
farmer does not preserve them for
use at all, thus deprivinj himself of
valuable enriching matter. . A dead
hone or cow is worth a ton of the
best farmyard man ore, and probably
more.- valuable than, two or three
tons of unprotected manure. Phila

It cann ot be that earth is
only ' abiding place. i It cannot be
that our life is a bubble cast up by
the ocean of Eternity to float a mo
ment upon its waves, and sink into
nothingness. . Else, why these hih
and glorious aspirations which leap
like ancels from the temnle of our
heartsbrever wandering unsatisfied?
Why is it that the rainbow and
clouds came over us with a beauty
that is not of earth, .and then pass
off to leave us to muse on their love
liness?: Why is it that the stars
which- hold their festival around
the midnight throne, are Bet above
the . grasp .of our limited facul
ties, forever mocking us with their
uoanrjToachable eiorv? And final
ly, why is it that the ' bright forms
of human beauty, are presented to
our view, and taken from us, leaving
the thousand streams of our affections
to flow back in Alpine torrents upon
our hearts 7 ; We were born for a
higher destiny than earth. ' There
is a realm where the rainbow never
fades, where tbe stars will be spread
out before us like islands that slum

pass before us like shadows, will stay
forever in our presence. G.D.Pren-

The other day a csrioo old wom
an, having a bundle in her hand and
walking with a painful eTort, sat
down on astep to rest- - Sh) was cu
rious becacse her garmc-J were
neat and clean, though threadbare,
and curious because a smile crossed
her wriokled face as children paased
her. It might have been this smile
that attracted a group of three L 'le
ones, the oldest about nine. They
all stood in a row in front of the old
woman, saying never a word, but
watching her ace. Tbe smile brigt
ened, lingered, and then faded a
way, and a corner of the old calico
apron went up to wipe away a tear.
Then the eldest child stepped for
ward and asked :
"Are yoa sorry becaasa yoa
haven t got any children?''
"I I had children once, but
they are all dead 1" whisper
ed the woman, a sob in her throat
"I'm awfully sorry'' said the little
girl, as ber own chin quivered. "I'd
give yoa one of my little brothers
here, but yoa see I haven t got but
two, andf don't believe I'd like to
spare one." '- :
"God bless you, child bless you
forever !" sobbed the old woman, and
for a full minute her face was buried
in her apron.
But 111 tell you what 111 do,
seriously continued tbe child.
"Yoa may kiss as all once, and if
little Ben iant afraid yoa may him
four times, for he's just as sweet as
cahdv. .
' Pedestrians who saw the three
well dressed children put their arms
around that old woman's neck and
kiss her werejgreatly puzzled. They
didnt hear the woman's words as
she rose to go.
"O ! children, I'm only a poor old
woman, believing I'd nothing to
live for, but you've give me a light
er heart than I've had for ten years."
Wolves !jChiircli.
While th inhabitants of the Span
ish village -Unarre were attending
the celebration of the midnight mass
in their parish church on Christmas
eve last, a terrible surprise was await
ing them outside the sacred edifice.
During the service a pack of hungry
wolves had gathered around the
church doors, and when these were
thrown open to let the congregation
out the ferocious brutes, stimulated
by famine to an unusual display of
audacity, made a desperate on
slaught upon tbe crowd. According
to an eye witness an indescribable
panic ensued. Men and women
alike, screaming for aid, strove to
escape from their savage assailants;
several, while struggling frantically
to reach the doorway, fell down and
found themselves at the mercy of
the famished wolves. The only man
who displayed any presence of mind
was the sacristan, who contrived to
clamber into the pulpit, and thence
imitated the bark of a dog so effect
ively that tbe invaders took fright
and fled, but not before they . had
killed three of their victims and man
gled five' others so horribly that
they were not expected to recover
at the time when this tragical affair
was published in the Spanish papers.
Measures have been taken some
what late in the day, as is generally
the case in the peninsula by the lo

What a strange thought t All the
world is seeking rest Those who
drag their weary bodies home night
after night and fall down on their
restless beds worried with the anxie
ties and cares of business, and yet
seeking rest It is found in pover
ty ; perhaps it lurks under the rich
man, all the while that he lies groan
ing upon hia couch or stands with
wrinkled brow perplexed with care.
Where is rest? What is rest? It
is the divine principle of peace that
comes from God. As well seek
roses on the pallid cheek, of death
as rest out . of . God. The needle
rests not till it turns to the pole.
If a little child is frightened at play,
be comes running into the house af
ter his mother. She takes him into
her bosom, presses kisses upon his
brow, and while she sings some lul
aby of love, all fear fades from his
face and he sleeps in peace. God
wants to fill a mother's place to all
the world. If it be misfortune or
poverty, or gloomy, foreboding that
makes one unhappy, God can give
him rest and ' breathe a lullaby of
love about his tempest tossed soul
will still its ringing. Rest peace, is
a principle that lies within us, not
without Some not possessing it,
have a crowned head uneasy. . O,
that every anxious, longing heart
would look to him who walketh
among tne golden lamps of heaven.
"Take mv yoke upon you, and ye
shall find rest unto vour souls."

The Ledger, of Easton. Md., says
that a valentine sent by a youth in
Washington to a girl in Easton, re
calls a story of a name of note in
American history. The name of
the sender of the missive ia Bcturn
J. Meigs, and tho same christiin
name has been in the Meigs fam
ily for : several generations. Many
years ago, . in ianu:revoiutionary
days, Jonathan - Meigs couyj
a young lady who rejected VjiTad
dresses. Meigs continued to love
the girl, though too proud to try a
second time to win her, he determin
ed never to marry anyone else, and
to live and diea bachelor unless,
she of her own volition relented.
After a few years the lady did re
lent, or perhaps ' got to know her
own heart better, and sent a letter
to her former suitor. . Meigs got the
letter and found in it only two
words: "Return Jonathan." It
was enough. Jonathan did return
and made her his wife. The first
child was baptized, "Return Jona
than," to commemorate tbe brief
letter that saved the Meigs family
from extinction, and from that day
to this there have been a Return J.
Meigs in every generation. The
r-nder of the valentine referred to is
the grandson M. C Meigs, late
Quartermaster General.
