FOOTSTEPS OF AXGKI-S.
BY UJNUKkLLOW.
When tlie hours of day are numberwt
And the voices or the night
Wake the bitter soul that .luniherel
To a holy, calm kalight.
Ere the evening lainjie are lighted,
And, like phantom" grim and tall.
Shadows from the fitful fire light
Dance upon the parlor null.
Then the forms of the departed
Kilter at the oren door.
The beloved ones, the true hearted,
Come to viit me once more.
He. Ihe young andMrung, who rherii!iI
Noble longing'" for the strife,
By the roadside Ml and jristied,
Weary with the march of life.
They, the holy ones and weakly.
Who the cm of surl'ering bore.
Folded their ia!e hamU an meekly,
Spake with lis on eurth no more.
And with them the being beauteous
Who unto my youth was given.
More than all things el-e to love im-.
And is now a saint in Heaven.
With a slow and noiseless fuot.-trp
Comes that messenger divine.
Takes the vacant rhair In-side me.
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And he sits nnd gazes nl me
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars, so still and saint-like.
Looking downward from the skie.
I'ttered not, yet comprehended,
Is the spirit's voiceless prayer.
Soft rebukes, in blessings ended.
Breathing from her lips of air.
, though oft depressed and lonelv
All my ftars are laid aside.
If I but renumber only
Such as these have lived and died.

He was iitt so very little eitln-r.
was fourteen years old Hril as
tiill a most Imv3 of his nge.
Lut he whs a bhy and ht-nsitive
child, with features alniot is deli
cate as those of a pirl. And com
pared with hin big brother, heneem
ed fitted well etioush by the nick
nanie they had riven him.
They were great, roujrh fellows,
the youngest of whom, though only
seventeen, appeared a full frrown
man. That was Luff a word into
which hid real name, Kliphaz, had
been appropriately boiled down.
.Somehow Luff Keeler exactly de
scribed the fat. stout, chubby cheek
ed, jovial, rude, reckless sort of boy
he was.
Then there were Walt, aped nine
teen, and Kuss, twenty-one: tall.
bony, muscular youns; men, loud
voiced, full of course fun and bray-.
How Milton (that was the name of
Little lirother, could have been one
of the same family, and vet so whol
ly unlike these three, was a subject
of wondering remark to everybody
who knew them.
The nickname had not been be
stowed upon him out of tenderness.
I am rorrv to sav. but rather out of
contempt They eould not under
stand how anybody should lie so
fond of books and pictures, fireside
quiet and his mother's society.
The truth was, Milton loved fun
as well as they, but a very ditferent
sort of fun; and it was his dread of
their rude ways which drove him to
the chimney corner and the shelter
of his mother's affection. She was
a gentle, fpiiet woman, to be the
mother of three such .boisterous
young men; and the youngest boy
was naturally Ler pet
Many a time she had to take his
part against the tyranny he suffered ;
r a!. ( !
! not to mind it if he does." With
I which mildly consoling words Mr.
! Keeler drove off to town.
! It was some time before Milton
j went to the yard where the work was
; going on. That gave Lnff a chance
j to forget his father's parting charge
to him and to prepare another trick
for Little Brother.
Milt! Milt!" he called. "They're
waiting for you."
As Milt knew that he was expect
ed to help Luff draw Walt and Kuss
up out of the well, he reluctantly
left the kitchen corner and his book
and went out in answer to the call.
Lull' stood amid the rubbish at
the edge of the well leaning on the
windlass and looking down. Mil
ton, as he drew nigh, could hear the
steady click, click of the sledge and
drill below.
He walked carefully around to the
opposite side of the well from Luff.
jand looking in, sw Ituss and Walt
j still at work, with no appearance of
Slopping.
"You told me they were waiting,"
he said. "Thev are not half ready
vet."
j "Yes, they are," replied Luff, with
a sober look on his red. chubby
! face. "They are going to tamp now.
jand thev want the fuse. Run and
f.tch it."
' "Where is it, Milton asked. :
j "Why, under that board there;
idnntvou know. Hurrv:
Little l'rother did not ask why
Luff could not have got the fuse, in
stead of calling him from the house
before even the tamping was begun;
nor did he expect a trick. He ran
to the board, lifted it with one hand,
hastily put the other on something
coiled up there, and started back
with a shriek of horror.
Luff roared with laughter, leaning
on the windlass, which fairly shook
with his weight.
"Why don't you bring the fue.
Milt?" hecried. chocking with mirth.
"What's the matter with the fuse?"
"It's a snake! You knew it was a
snake!" gasped poor Little Brother,
still shuddering from the hoek.
"The iuseain'ta snake," said Luff.
"The fuse is there, too. I did'nt
mean for you to get the snake."
"But you knew I would see it, and
it's a mean disgusting trick," Milton
protested, indignantly.
"Of coins? I knew you would see
it," said I. "But it won't hurt you.
It's dead."
"I know it won't hurt me. It
wouldn't hurt uieit it wasn't dead,"
cried Little Brotlier, his eyes flash
ing as his mother's could sometimes
flash. "But I dread the sight of a
snake, dead or alive; you know it
and that's what you sent me to the
board for."
"I sent you there to cure vou of
being such a coward," said Luff",
still lauuhing, but not so heartily as
at first.
"N, you didn't," Milton declared.
"You wanted to have some low,
silly, hateful sport; that's what you
did it for. Yru did'nt think any
thing about curing me of being a
coward. You know, though. I don't
like some tilings you do, and which
I'm glad I don't like, fun with dead
snakes, for instance you know I'm
no more a coward than vou are."
The boy's color had come back
into his cheeks, his voice rang out
with spirit, and his bine eyes spar
kled as he told his brother this
truth.
"You're careful to keep out of my
reach when you say that," said Luff.
"That shows you're a coAanl."
"it shows that I don't like vou
and vour wavs:' that's what it
shows," replied the boy. "If I
don't iike a certain thing I can t
help it; whether it's a dead snake or
nip nroiner.

at tne oottom. une came Irons a
fiool of water in a hollow of the
edgej reflecting the summer 6ky.
The other was the blaze of a match
Russ had just struck.
Having touched the end of the
fuse and seen it catch and sparkle,
Russ stepped quickly into the buck
et, laid hold of the rope, and. call
ing out, "Haul away," was drawn
up by Luff ami Milt as Walt had
been before.
Walt,meanwhile, had carried away
from the well the powder which
came up in tne bucket with him;
and, having lighted his pipe, he was
now walking leisurely
the windlass.

"How could you do such a thing?
my precious, noble boy !' sobbed
his mother.
"I saw that somebody must do it
or Russ would be killed, and I
thought I had time if I did it at
once, Milton said, witn a teeDie
smile; ceding modestly, "Walt and
Luff help!."
"Mighty little we helped," Walt
exclaimed, with an outburst of hon
est feeling. -Russ might have been
blown to flinders, for anything we
would dared to do. "There's more
true courage in Little Brother than
back to the there is in both our great lubberly
hulks."

respect even of the lawless Luff. He i
would turn laughingly away at such j
times, with a careless, "Oh, well, I
won't bother Little Brother any I
more!" and perhaps play another!
trick upon him within an hour. j
Mr. Keeler, a kind hearted but
not a very refined man, also took the
part of the youngest when the oth
ers were too rough w ith him; more
to satisfy his wife, however, than be
cause he thought Milton ought to
mind their jokes.
"Now, boys," he said one day, as
he was about leaving home, "don't
you go to plaguing Milton while

once, if only to please your mother."
They were digging a well in the
cattle yard; they had reached a ledge
which they had to blast, and Mr.
Keeler was driving to town to get ;
some drills sharpened.

Milton did, however, walk reso-
; lutely up to the lioard. tike the in
s nocent little reptile on a stick, and
j fling it away out of the yard.
Lun did not otten see him show
"Take my place here, won't you,
Walt?" Milton said, when the buck
et was about half way up.
It is uncertain w hether he sus
pected Luffs intentions towards him
or whether he simply wished to get
as far away as possible from the
sound of the blast. Luff made no
objections, and Walt, pipe in mouth,
laid hold of the spokes of the wind
lass. Probably Milt did not think that
even the reckless Luff could neglect
his important trust for a little cruel
sjiort at a time like that He drew
aside from the windless, as Walt
took his place, passing almost within
Luffs reach.
"Hold on, Walt," cried Lull', the
moment he Eaw the spokes in his
brother's powerful grip. And let
ting go his own hold with one hand,
he made a swonp with it at unsus
pecting Little Brother, and caught
him by the arm.
"Oh. qut your fooling now," said
Walt with his pipe in his lips;
while Little Brother struggled togt t
away.
Walt was well able alone to draw
the bucket up. but Luff was still
trying to help him, while holding on
to Milton with one hand.
"Don't kick ! don't squeal!" he
said, laughingly. "No use; you've
got to stay here till that blast goes
off, if it blows us both into the mid
dle of next week."
Terrified at this threat, Milton
gave so violent a jerk that he nearly
got free. To save and balance him
self, LulF put back one foot, which
struck a loose stone and sent it tum
bling over the mound of rubbish
into the well.
The rattling sound was followed
by a Ftrange scuffling movement be
low, then a haw plunging thud, and
the bucket was empty. The stone
had struck Russ on tne head, and he
had fallen to the bottom.
This frightful accident brought
Luff to his senses. He let Milton
go, and, at a exclamation of wrth
tnd lnght from alt. hastened to
look down into the well.
The gliniering pool was no longer
visible; but m its place lay a darK
heap, perfectly motionless, at the
bottom of the pit
I hat was Kuss, halt concealed by
the bucket hanging over him. Be
side him a little spark was to be
seen. That was the fuse, the fire in
which was steadily eatingsts way to
thetpowder of the blast.
"He groans! he is alive! said Luff.
"But he'll be blown to thunder in
a minute!" said Walt. And, still
holding the windlass to keep the
bucket from falling, his pipe broken
at his feet he looked about lor help,
exclaiming desperately, "what in the
world can we do?"
Little Brother, after escaping from
Luffs grasp, had not run far, when
this frightful catastrophe brought
him back to the well. Forgetting, j
or overcoming, for the moment his
terror of .the blast he too looked!
down at the motionless but groan
He was not the only one who at
that moment felt that to see a great
danger, and gieatly to dres.d it. and
yet to have the heart and resolution
to brave it for another's sake, is the
very higest courage.
"iIoav did it all happen? how did
it begin?" Russ inquired, hardly yet
recovered from hi stupor.
"I legan it. I'm ashamed to say,"'
Luff confessed, following Walt's ex
ample, and siieaking from the deep
est feeling of which he was capable.
"I was fooling with Little Brother,
when I knocked a stone down on to
your head."
"Fooling with him again, Luff?"
said his father reproachfully.
"Yes, sir, Luff replied, with lrank
self-condemnation. "I was going to
hold him while the blast went off,
because he always showed that he
dreaded it so, and I thought he was
such a coward."
"A coward, my son!" exclaimed
their mother, clasping Milton to her
heart.
"I've been a mean, cowardly ruf
fian myself, and that's a fact,'' said
Luff. "As Walt says, Little Brnth
er has more courage than both of
us. 1 hope you'll all remind me of
it if I ever lay rough hands on hint
again."
"Oh, but I am sure you never
will," said Little Brother, hopefully
and forgivingly.
And Luff never did.
The Bloody Shirt
Washington, Aug. 19, 1SS2.
People away from Washington
are apt to think this a very dull
season with us, but the National
capital is never dull, and if we who
really live here did not have a
breathing spell after the wisdom
that dropped around us by the
solons of our Nation, and the fili
bustering and parliamentary tactics
endured for over eicht months, there
is no knowing what the consequen
ces might be.
Secretaries Lincoln and Teller
have made it lively here by their
action excluding women from ob
taining appointments in their de
partments in the eight hundred
appointments to be made. Conse-
The time has again arrived for the
hardhearted Republican to wave the
bloody-shirt They know that noth
ing so displeases a sensitive Demo
crat aud yet in spite of prayer? and
threats the' continue to wave it ;
for what is a bug-bear and bitter
memory to them is the banner of
God's salvation to every honest lov
al Republican. And why should
the Republican party cease to wave
the bloody-shirt ! Because it is told
to do so by the Democrats? No!
When the children of Israel were
bidden to sprinkle blood upon the
door-post and lintels that the De
stroying Angel might see it and pass
by, and when that bitter wail went
up from Egyptian homes bereft of
the first-born, and only those were
saved where blood appeared, do you
think the Jews would be in a hurry
to erase this evidence of their obedi
ence, this sign of their salvation at
the bidding of those who had so
greviously oppressed them ? They
would leave it there and point it out
to their children and tell them to
render God implicit obedience andj
faithful service. So this bloody- j
shirt of ours is an emblem of the
nation's salvation, a thing too sacred
to be buried, too holv to le forgotten.
It has in

luently the women have donned
their war paint and organized a
Woman's National Labor League,
forthe purpose of concentrating the
workingwoman's influence through
out the country, and Members and
Senators are threatened with the
exposure of the r.ames and charac
ters of some of their special favorites
appointed here.
The Star Route trial still drags its
winding way, and it is apt to be very
confusing to the average brain when
the thermometer is fooling among
the nineties to read one paper and
have it conclusively prove that the
other side are all liars, thieves, rob
bers and other cheerful members of
society, and then read another one
and become impressed that it was
the other side again that deserved
tlie chromo in the above characters.
There are still a few members of
the House and Senate that walk
around the deserted halls of the
Capitol.

Mrs. Garfield has presented the
Ohio State Association with a hun-i
dred year lease of the house owned
by the late President and in which
he lived until taking possession of
the White Heuse, to be known as
the Garfield House. The house in
question iin one of the best and most
valuable portions of the city a
plain but substantial double house
with a pretty yard at the side. Since
his death it has had a sad look, as if
the grief of the country was felt
even by the inanimate walls where
the happy family so long resided,
not allowing the turmoil of public
life to break into the sanctity of
home. Col. A. F. Rockwell, Com
missioner of Public Grounds, who
was the warm, loving friend of the
late President, is often seen strolling
by the deserted house "in the gloam
ing," and leaning sadly over the lit
tle fence-railing.
The comedy and tragedy of life is
more forcibly illustrated here in
Washington than, perhaps, in any
other city. The house formerly oc
cupied by Belknap, when Secretary
of War, where his lovely, fascinating
wife reigned queen and gave some
of the most brilliant receptions ever
given, to which the leading people
of the country fought for invititions,
is now to fall into the ranks of
boarding houses, and the dining
room, filled with the recollections of
superb lunches, asinetic dinners,
with hosts of brave men and beauti
ful womr.n, will now resound with
the cries of the hungry boarder for
more hash and more
his soup. It is the common fate of
rncst of the houses, celebrated in
times past, to tnd up in the inevita
ble boarding-house. The handsome
house of Chief Justice Chase, where
Kate Chase Sprague so graceful)'
presided, is now the refuge of any
one who can pay a monthly room '

comfort of all concerned. Even
now there will be no undue haste :
and whenever a regiment is sent off
everything will be spick and span
and in perfect order, from the more
elaborate needs and requirements of
the colonel to the buttons on the
tunic of the smallest drummer-boy.
Now-a-davs we provide our armies
and we "fight by the card." Assur
edly if all the arrangementa of the
proposed Egyptian campaign work
as smoothly as Mr. Childers hopes
and expects, the English array will
march to victory gaily and gladly,
well clothed and well fed, along a
level plain to glory, and by roads
strewn with creature comforts.
Yesterday morning the Queen
paid a special visit to Portsmouth
for the purpose of taking farewell of
the officers and men who are pro
ceeding in the "Catalouia" for Egypt
The visit was semi-private, as, in
deed, most of Her Majesty's visits to
Portsmouth are ; for ever since the
death of the Prince Concert the
Queen has dispensed with the firing
of royal salutes at the naval ports.
Her stay lasted half an hour, during
which time the officers ot the regi
ment were presented, and Her Maj
esty inspected not only the saloon
and officers' quarters, but also the
accommodation on the middle and
lower decks.
A Short Chapter on Ituil.
What is a boil ?
A boil is a painful globular
excresence appearing on the human
body without respect of person, na
tionality or previous condition oj
servitude.
Has a boil any particular hygen
ic value?
Yes! It draws from the system
much impure matter which would
otherwise cause nausia and general
physical debility, and the result is
that persons recovering from boils
are peculiarly bright and active
both mentally and physically, ami
remain so a long time. Does the
appearance of boils on a person
denote that said person i9 diseased,
or in a weak ailing condition? No !
They are oftenest found on persons
of extremely healthy habits and ro
bust constitution, and may be re
garded as natural vents for slight
impurities that must sooner or later
creep into all healthy bodies despite
redundant vitality nnd unimpaired
force. The Republican party is a
healthy, vigorous body. It possess
es redundant vitality, and exhaust
less force there is not about it the
slightest suspicion of diseae it is
undoubtedly brainy and large mind
ed, and by honest labor and careful
forethought it does not sit in sack
cloth and luxuriate on pretzels and
weis beer, but can occasionally, even
in these high priced times, afford a
tenderloin steak and does not growl
because butter is forty cents a
pound. But the Republican party
is troubled with a boil, and the
trouble with this boil is that it im
agines itself the Republican party,
and insists on poulticing itself.
Now, as every healthy body must
have some slight taint about it, we
are philosophical enough to be
grateful for that boil. The fact is
we feel better already for it It has
drawn from us a little useless mat
ter that might have made us un
comfortable. It is not a large boil
but it Is the nature of even small
boils to grow red and angry and
make a fuss entirely disproportion-
ied to their size and importance.
