LIFE AXD NEATH.
"It is not all of life to live,
Xor all of death to die! '
To drink the dratiglit the world can give,
Then perish with a sigh.
No! Life is more than meat and drink,
Or fame or worldly Rear;
While souls are hovering: on the brink
And heaven and hell ap)ear.'
Trie life on earth is faith and lnie
And love to God and man:
A living power that heeds the scope
Of heaven's appointed plan.
A spark from out the jasper throne,
A diuniond from out the bky;
That strikes the "earth, then ei-Us its own,
Anions the saint 011 liifdi.
Dealh is the shallow of the soul,
That dims iu setting ray;
The mists that rise to hide its Koal,
In heaven's eternal day.
A breath upon Ihe glass a Mreen
'Twixt time and endlts life;
A shadu now past of yester e'en,
A sigh for what we miyht have been,
A truce to earthly strife;
A writhe, a groan, a gasp for breath.
Then earnest hope and this is death.
Who then should fi-ar the cares of life.
While heart and pulse are beating high?
How can they fear the damp of death,
Whose hopes up yonder lie,
O give us then that mighty iaiili,
That lives through life, and conquers
death.
MABKI.'S liOVKIl.
Under the shadow of a preat fig
tree ix younsr pirl nut in a deep rev
erie. Suih a tender lifiht was in her
eyef, such a sweet 6mile' of full Hittis
iaction on her fice, that a stranger
would certainly have said:
''She is thinking of her lover."
But no lover hud Mabel Kae. Her
pleasure sprang from a far leps dan
gerous source from the handful of
tuberoses m her lap. Their spiritual,
dreamy be tuty and rare, rich per
fume always held her s in atpell ot
measureless content, and the lovely
waxen tlowern, pale, pure, and white
aj moonshine. hauntetl her heartand
imagination, and reiriyed ffni her
a perjtetual love and worship.
There she gut until the heat and
etillntss of the tropic noon drove her
to the house, a tirand old home, hid
among giant live oaks ray with the
solemn waving Southern mo.-s. She
went to the large dim p:irlor, intend
ing to put her favorites amt ng the
damp mots of the hanging bar-kets,
but the dreamy languor of the room
overcome everv desire but mat 01
a . 1 i
sleep, and the lay down on the near
est couch, holding hee Honxrs ji her
hand.
Half an hour later Mr. Kae open
ed the door, and ushered in a gen
tleman who had accompanied him
from New Orleans.
"Sit down, Allan," he said, "I will
soon aiou.se the house. You see it
is the hour for siesta, and I believe
all take it at the whim I am
away."
For a few minutes the young man
believed himself., alone. A Ftiblte,
powerful perfume was hid first sen
sation. Then, as his eyes became accus
tomed to the dim liulit of the cure
fully closed httices, he saw a picture
that he never nmre forgot, a most
lovelv cirl, in the first bloom of
maidenhood, fast asleep on the silk
en cushions piled on a low divan.
Her white roles made n kind of elo
ry in the darkened corner, one hand
had falit n down, and the flowers
gemmed the carpet at her side; the
other lay across her breast, as if em
bracing the tube roses which it had
scattered there.
Never in ail his native mountains,
never in any dream of love or fancy,
had Allan Monteith seen a woman
half so fair. He stood gazing on
Mabel as if he hail seen a vision.
There lay his destiny asleep, he
knew it, and opened ids whole soul
to welcome "J,ove's young dream."
But when Mr. Kae, followed by a
negro valet, returned, and Mabel
languidly opened her great pensive
eyes and stretched out her amis for
her father s embrace. Allan almost
thought he should faint from excess
of emotion, and it was with difficul
ty he controlled himself to receive
the introduction and apologies nec
essarv.
Allan Monteith was a young
Scotchman, the only .on of a gun
tleman with whom in early life Mr.
Kae had formed a most ardent
friendship.
He was rich, and by nature and
birth equally noble; nor was hedes
titute ot the traditional business ca
pacity of his house, as some late
transactions in cotton and sugar in
New Orleans had proved to Mr. Kae.
And partly because he liked the
young man, and part)jr as a matter
of interest, he had invited him to
hie home among the woods and la
goons of the evergreen bayou. Ma
bel, in this transaction, had scarcely
been properly considered ; but to
her father she was yet a child.
True, he recognized her beauty,
and wag very proud of it, and she
possessed an exquisite voice and
great skill in music, and the passing
idea of showing his pearl of price to
the foreigner rather flattered his van
ity than alarmed his fears. He did
not dream that he was introducing a
new claimant for its possession.
Allan linE2red as if in an enchant
ed castle, till he had no life, no will,
no hopes, but those which centered
in Mabel Kae.
And she soon returned his passion
with a love even ni'ore absorbing and
far less selfish than her lover's.
Oh, the sweet, warm, love laden
days in those solemnly shaded
woods! ' :
ph, the blissful hours in the cool j
ev enings, when the perfume of tube
roses and jasmine filled the ajr,
when the soft, calm moonlight glo
rified every lovely and everv com-
jnion thine! .
I It was like a dream of those dars
when the old rustic gods reigned,:
to h vt was to love, and to love j
was to be happv.
With tbe failhowever, there came 1
letters from Scotland, and Allan
could not longer delay,

pie's attachment as binding on eith
er side.
"In less thon two years I will be
here again, Mabel, darling," were
Allan's last whispered words, as he
held her in his arms, and kissed
again again the face dearer than all
the world to him.
And Mabel smiled through her
tears, ond held the last tube rose of
the summer to bis lips for a parting
pledge. . . '
But the two years brought many
changes.
The war cloud gathered, and lung
before Allan could redeem his prom
ise the little inland plantation was
desolate and deserted ; Mabel was
an orphan, and cruelly embarrassed
in money affairs ; claimants without
number appeared against the Rae
estate, and creditors forced the plan
t ition into the market at the most
unfavorable time.
Siie was driven from her home in
strict accitrdaiice with the letter of
the law, but she felt and knew, tlio'
powerless to prevent it, that she had
been wronged.
For the first time in all her life
Mabel thought for herself, and dared
to look the future in the face. She
tiad promised her father never to
write to Allan without his permis
sion, but she considered that death
annuls all contracts, and surely now
if ever it was Allan's duty to befriend
and care for her.
So she sent him word, in a few,
shy, timid sentences, of her sorrow
and loneliness. But it was doubtful
if even the letter would reach him;
mails in those days were not certain
ties ; and even if it did reach Allan,
it was st'II more uncertain whether
he rnuld reach Mabel.
And in the meantime she must
work, and though Mubel could com
mand no higher position than that
of a nursery governess, yet she found
in it a higher life than ever the
dreamy luxurious selfishness of her
fatiiers home had given tier.
Her employers were of the ordi
nary class. I can weave no romance
out of them.
They felt no iecial interest in Ma
bell, neither did they ill-use her. She
was useful and unobtrusive, and
asked for neither sympathy nor at
tention. No letter came from Allau, though
uhe waited and . huptd with failing
Uearl and paling cheek for more
than a year.
She had not the courage to write
again, and her anxiety and distress
began to tell very perceptibly on a
naturally frail constitution.
Then a physician advised her to
try at once a more invigorating c'i
niate, and she not unwillingly
agreed to uccompany the invalid
wife of an oflicer returning to her
home in New York.
This was the dawn of a brighter
day for Mabel ; by the advice of her
friends she established herself in a
fashionable locality and commenced
tpuL'hiiijr music.
I think few women could "iave
been more successful ; so jn che sec
ond winter of Mabel's residence in
New York it became "the thing" to
invite Miss Rae to preside over se
lect 6cial and musical entertain
ments. I have a friend who met her dur
ing that season frequently, and who
describes her tact and influence as
something extraordinary and mag
rietic.
Jler rare beauty was untienjinish
ed, though niore thoughtful; her
dress was uniformly the same a
pale, pink, lustreless silk, with tube
roses in her hair and at her breast,
for her passion for these flowers was
stronger than ever.
She had many lovers, but she ig
nored or else decidedly refused all.
Her heart was still with the tall, fair,
mountaineer who had won it amid
the warmth and perfume of tropic
noons and moonlight nights; and
though twice two years tiad passed,
she refused to believe him false.
And she was right. Allan deserv
ed her fullest faith. Her letters had
never reached him, and yet he had
with incredible difficulty made his
way to New Orleans, only to find
the plantation in the hands of stran
gers, and Mabel gone.
After a long and dispiriting search
he left Mabel's discovery in the
hands of well paid agents, and re
turned to JScotJand almost .broken
hearted.
But he still loved her passionately
and often on stormy nights when the
winds tossed the tall pines like
straws, and mountain snows beat at
the barred doors and windows, he
thought of the happy pece and sol
emn silences in which he and his
love had walked, listening only to
the beating of their own hearts, or
the passionate undertones of the
mocking-birds.
Thus the two walked apart who
should have walked hand in hand,
and it seemed as if the years only
w idened that breach over which two
souls looked longingly and called
vainly.
But if we will wait, the harvest of
the heart uitt come; and so one day
Mabei got a note from a friend an
nouncing her return from abroad,
and beeging her to be present at a
small intormal reunion at her house
that evening. She went early in
the day, and spent the afteruoop in
that pleasant gossip which young
and happy women enjoy. Her
friend rallied her a good deal upon
her growing years, and laughingly

Scotchman with whom they had
had a pleasant acquaintance in their
travels, and who was now in New
York, and going to spend the even

Did fate knock softly at Mabel's
soul then? for she blushed, and in
stantly, as f by magic, there sprang
up in her heart a happy refrain,
which she could not control, and
which kept on singing, " He comes,
he comes, my lover comes J " j
She dressed with more than or
dinary care, and was so impatient;

mat ner louei was compieieu oeiore
the others had begun. So she sat
down in the sun-lighted parlor, say
ing to herself: "I must e still ; I
will be calm ; for how should I bear
a disappointment, and what ground
of hope have I; Absolutely none,
but that he comes from the same
country. No, ther is no hope."
But "still above the doubt and fear
ihe could hear the same chiming
undertone:
"He comes! he comes! my lover
comes ! "
She became nervous and supersti
tious, and when the silence wa3 bro
ken by a quick ring and a rapid
footstep, she ross involuntarily from
her chair, and stood trembling and
flushing with excitement in the mid
dle of the room. Ah, Mabel! Ma

"Ah, my darling! my darling! I
have found you atlast!" was all that
Mabel heard as Allan clasped her to
his bosom.

soothed or uncomforted for she was
loved.
The Bad man of Nankin.
Some eitiht or ten years ago a sil
ver tongued chap who chimed to be
a fruit tree agent swindled the farm
ers of this county in a shameful
manner, and one resident of Nankin
was so mad about it that he came to
Detroit, searched the rascal out and
gave him a pounding on the street.
After he got through he told the fel
low that he would lick him twice as
bad if heever put eyes on him again,
and it was a threat io be remember
ed anil nursed. About three weeks
ago the Nankin man was traveling
in Washington county, and as he
journeyed along the highway he met
a traveler who so closely resembled
the fruit tree swindler that he halted
and called out:
"Here you are again, you bold
faced rascal!"
"Yes, I'm here," was the calm re
ply. "'Well, so am I, and I'm going to
li k oii that you can't holler !I said
I'd do it, and I always keep my
word. Climb down here!"
The stranger"c!utnb" without pro
test, shedding his coat as he struck
the ground, and a fight began. In
about two minutes he had used up
the farmer and was coolly replacing
his coat.
''See here," said the man from
Nankin, as he wiped his nose with
a burdock, "you fight better than
you did eight years aao."
Well. I amino. Ihis is my first

A Generon Buy.
A good many vears ago a cashier
took a little boy from a neighboring
poorhouse, and when the boy had
become a youth he was giyen a re
sponsible position in the bank of
which his patron was practically the
head. Later the cashier stole more
than $15,tJ0 from thi bank. Ex
posure was threatened every day,
ami the guilty officer, in a period of
depression, confessed to the youth
that he proposed to kill himself.
Young K.ty, the protege, wss smit
ten with horror, as he thought of the
terrible turn of affairs, but having
weighed the matter, the next day he
threw himself into the breach. He
suggested, and the cashier eagerly
accepted the suggestion, that he
should fasten the guilt upon himself
and abscond, thus leaving his patron
honest in the world's eyes, though
blackened ia his own. What the
public heard of the Westport rob
bery was that a bank clerk named
Kay had stolen $13,000. Detectives
found several clues, but not until
years afterwards was the secret dis
closed. One of the detectives who
had been employed in the case came
up with Kay under still more ro
mantic circumstances. The detec
tive, according to his reminiscences
published last week in a San Fran
cisco paper, was called recently to a
Western city to ferret out the person
who robbed a private house of two
hundred gold eagles. The only
man under aarest was one Henry
Martin. As soon as the detective
saw Martin the former said : "You
are Dallas Kay, who robbed the
Westport bank ?" Ray then told
the, true story of the robbery, and
the story has been verified since.
Kay claimed that he was innocent
of the gold eagle burglary, and ask
ed the detective to take a note to his
sweetheart, a Miss Morse. When
the latter heard of her lover's pre
dicament she threw her whole sou!
into obtaining proof of his innocence.
She went to the house where the
robbery had been committed. Hav
ing asked if the burglar had left
anything in his flight, she was giv
en a handkerchief that had been
dropped bv the intruder. She put
the handkerchief to her nose and
exclaimed ; " Find the thief -who
uses this perfume (naming the pe
culiar brand) and vou will find your
eagles." It was fiound that only
one drug store sold that kind of
perfumery in the city and that one
bottle only had been bought within
the preceding month. Need it be
added that the purchaser was traced,
the eagles regained, the lovers mar
ried ?
Palntinjr with Petroleum.
The following paragraph is quoted
in an agricultural contemporary, ami
comment made as given in the suc
ceeding paragraph :
" Petroleum is found to be of ben
efit to shingles to preserve them, as
it enters the pores of the wood at
once, and as it hardens, makes it
more compact In texture, and also
less liable to take fire, although when
once burning they will of course
make more flames than the wood
without it ; but a coat of petroleum
applied to a shingle roof will make
it last several years longer than it
otherwise would Petroleum is also
an excellent article to apply to the
iron and steel work or farm imple
ments to prevent their rusting when
not in use. When any outbuilding,

Tbe Model Woman.
The best natnred woman in the
United States lives in Austin. She
has been married a number of years
to a man named Ferguson, but she
and Rer husband have never had a
quarrel yet and he has frequently
boasted that it is utterly impossible
to make her angry. Ferguson made
several desperate attempts to see if
he could not exasperate her to look
cross or scowl at him, merely to
gratify his cure-sity, but the more
affable and lovable she behaved.
Last week he was talking to a
friend about what a hard time he had
trying to find out if his wife had a
temper. . The friend offered to bet
him $.50 that if Ferguson were to go
home drunk, raise a row and pull
the table-cloth full of dishes off the
table she would show signs of an
noyance. Ferguson said he didn't
want to rob a friend of his money,
for he was sure to win ; but they at
last made the bet of SoO, the frend
.to hide in the front yard to watch the
proceedingof the convention through
the window.
Ferguson came home late and ap
parently fighting drunk. She met
him at the gate, kissed him and as
sisted his tottering steps to the house.
He sat down hard in the middle of
the floor and howled out:
"Confound your ugly pictures,
what did you mean by pulling that
chair from under me?"
"Oh, I hope you didn't hurt your
self. It is my awkwardness, but I'll
try and not do it again ;" and she
then helped him to his feet, although
she had nothing in the world to do
with his falling.
He then sat down on the sofa, ami
sliding off' on the floor, abvsed her
for not lilting up the other end of the
sofa, all of which she took good na
turedly, and finally she led him to
the supper table. He threw a plate
at her: but she acted as if she had
not noticed it and asked him if he
would take tea or coffee. Then the
brute seized the table cloth and sat
down on the floor, pulling the dishes
and everything else over him in one
grand crash.

The other evening as a muscular
citizen was passing a house on Mont
calm street a lady, who stood at the
gate, called out him :
'Sir, I appeal to you for protec

What's the trouble?" he asked, as
he stopped short.
"There's a man in the house, and
he wouldn't go out doors when I or
dered him to ?"
''He wouldn't, eh ? We'll see about
that!"
Thereupon the man gave the wo
man his coat to hold and sailed into
the house, spitting on his hands.
He found a man down at the supper
table, and he caught him by the
neck and remarked :
"Nice style of brute you are, eh ?
Come out o' this, or I'll break every
bone in your hotly !"
The man fought back and it was
not until a chair had been broken
and the table upset that he vas haul

Kemarkable Adventure.
On Friday morning, June .'I, "C',
four little children living at Allouez
, mine, Keweenaw county, Michigan,
; started out with pails and ba-kets to
! pick berries. They wandered nl,,r,
the highway for about a quar'.-r
a mile, and then tun,trl n s r.ts
iroad, which leads through the thick
i woods to the new mine called the
; Wolverine. All went well until the
jwuiiesv, a mue oi a girl, and very
small for her age, being but sev?n
years old, complained of being tired
and wanted to go home. Then, for
the first time, in their efforts to re
trace their steps, they diseoered that
they had strayed from the path and
were lost in the thick woods, where
the trees in many places are but a
a foot apart, and the underbrush
grows as high as five feet. Vainly
they sought the rihtpath till night
fall chwe.l around them then,
bruised and scratched by the bu.sl.es.
with head, face and limbs bitten and
badly swollen by the r.ip of t!.e
wicket black fly, the two older chil
dren, belonging to the Finn settle
ment beyoud the Allouez proper,
tired and fiightened. lay down and
cried themselves to sleep, and were
found by anxious searchers the next
day in a woeful condition. When
these children were asked for their
little companions, they replied :
"We begged them to stay with us,
hut the boy said he would go and
find the way to the road, and then
come back for u. but his little sister
would not stay without him,' and
they pointed the way they had goue.
In that direction a party of men
searched all day, aided by' the lutii
crazed Norweigian father and Finn
mother of the lost little ones, and all
dav the whistles of Alloii.z nrid
Wolverine mines blew at intervals
oi ten minutes to guide them to the
settlements.
Saturday night came and no chil
dren found. The weary mother must
return to her babe, but the father
with a few men spent the night in
fruitless search. Sunday we found
the road full of Sweeds. Norwegians
and Finns, while large parties v tro
in the woods, and the whistles blew
all day. Monday came and tho Cal
umet and Heela joined in the search,
sending about l.ur hundred men.
Toward night a little foot print w.is
discovered, and a piece of the little
girl's dress Tuesday 'more men
went out and success was thought to
be certain, but alas ! no children
were found. At evening the skv was
full of dense black clouds." The
thunder was awful never before do
I remember such a rainfall and
tempest as raged for a few hour,
while the night and succeeding day
was sultry with drizzling rainj and
Wednesday night another tempest
Still the searcli was continued. Kv
ery day the shouts of six l.ur..lr.d
men or more were making the woods
alive. Friday morning one week
from the children's disappearance
came, and tiie Calumet and Htda
mines were closed anil the whole
force together with the .Mloiie. m n
were stationed along the road fr oflt,
five feet apart, with orders to break
through the woods in that line as
best they could, to search every hol
low stump, to remove underbrush,
to examine holes and to make sure
of leaving no spit unexplored, and
yet night brought nearly every man
back with no traces of the children.
Some stayed all nightat theiralou-t
hopeless task, and some, a partv of
four Sweeties, were themselves l'ost.
and here is their wonderful story :
"At three o'clock. Friday afternoon,
we sat down by a brook to rest We
were tired and bewildered and shout
ed for our companions to cometo us,
when from a heap of bushes came a
boy saying: 'Where are you? Whs
is it?' We, thinking he belonged to
some party of searchers. asked: 'Who
are you with?' His answer came:
"My sister.' Up we sprang to our
feet, and knew, even in our aniaze
nifnt, that the lost children were
found, and alive, anil in their right
senses, although they had been alone
in the wood, amid lightning and
tempest for eight days, with nothing
to eat but lurries. And the boy of
but nine years had built huts of
brush to cover them at night, and
gathered and loaded both himself
and sister with great branches of
bluej-berries where they were to he
found, and were trying to follow the
tortuous course of the brook, which,

as we walked in or by the sides of
the streams us best we could with
our joyful burden, or lay oown for a
little needed rest, each two men with
a chihl between them to give warmth
to the little chilled frame."
Saturday morning some one in the
street shouted to me: "They are
found !" I threw up the s i-h. and a
party of men were right in front of
the house. They had the cnildren
with them. They refused food and
drink, saying they hail just fed them
and did not dare to give them any
more. Both children's eyes looked
