XHK t,lTTI,E WOMAN.
Ion't talk to me of Olympus' maids,
" Divinely tall and fair,"
Of Cleopatra's imperial form,
Of Juno's stately air.
Those mighty dame?, with redoubted names
Mayerst have hold theirsway.
"Tis the little woman bless her heart
Who rules the world to.day.
With her wilful, winsome ways,
Her artful, artless siui'es
Her airy grace and her fairy face
Her wisdom, wit ana wiles.
She mocks the pride aud sways hcstiengtb,
She bends the will of man,
As only such a despotic elf
A little woman can.
Though her pathway may lead thro' darkest
ways,
She always finds a light ;
Though her eyes bcdnzzled by fortune's rays
She's sureto see aright ;
Though her wisdom be of no special school,
Her logic, "just because,"
The first has settled a kingdom's fate,
The liu-t has made its laws.
"l is the little woman that goes ahead
Whi n men would lag behind ;
The little woman who sees her chance,
And always knows her mind
Who can slyly smile as she takes the oath
To honor, love, obey,
And mentally add the saving clause
In a little woman's way '.
Would thedianiond seem such a perfect gem:
If it measured one foot round?
Would the rose-leaf yield such a sweet
perfume
If it covered yards of ground ?
Would the dew-drops seem so clear and pure
If dew like raiu should fall?
Or the little woman be half so great
If she were six (Vet tall ?
'Tis the hand as soft as the nestling bint
That grips the grip of steel ;
'Tis the voice as low as the summer wind
That rules without apjK-al :
And the warrior, scholar, the saint and sage
May tiht, and plan, and pray.
The world will wag to the end of time
In the little woman's way.

IN XHK WINDOW.
''111 keef the light in the window,
Saudy, till you come tack."
, "Nver mmd, motlier. said the
! hoy, stuhdii.g at the door in an un
I certain, slouching kind of way, "I I
misrht he late."
! "It's dark tdong the line," eaid the
mother, "and a hit of candle light
would be illsparc J if you got a tutn
: h!e hy it. I'll keep the candle burn
ing till ye conn Uack.
Slie was a hard-featured Scotch
woman, healthy and active, though
no longer youug, and as she talked,
ehe woiked on, ironing the linen the
had washed and starched, and heap
ing it, like a snow-drift, in a great
basket beside her. Four other chil
dren were in the room, girla and
"joys, too young to do much for
themselves, but .Sandy was eighteen,
a tall, handsome fellow, with ripe
lips and cheeks, and dancing eyea.
"it Sandy only would have been a
little steadier." the mother often
sishej ; but to he steady" wa not
Sandy's forte. Off, ever and always
to the river side, where other loung
ing boy9 watched the boat come in
at the ferry, or plnnged stones into
the water tor a village pet, the great
Newfoundland, "Whiskers" by name,
to "fetch,"' No harm in that, the
mother thought, if the boys had all
been good ; but, evenings, at the
stores, they were worse; and the de
cent washer-wovvan shivered as she
listened to her hoy's home-coming
step at nights, le?t some day lie
should cpy Squire Peelor's ways,
and lrink too much. Squire Pfel
or's btys were her terror, though
they were thesons of the richest man
in the neighborhood. But now, as
Sandy stood in the door, so tall, and
faiir, ami bonnv, the mother's heart
crew litiht. "He'd be sure to 'settle
down' and help her with the bairns j
some day, she said. No doubt ol
that ; he but a bit boy now ; and she
ironed on until her work was done,
and then put the candle in the win
dow to light the boy along the lonely
lane at his home-coming. The can
dle burut itself away and sunk into
the socket, and the very wick smol
dered out, laaving only smell and
smiake behind it, ami still lit no
Sandy across the threshold of his
humble- home, for that night Sandy
had ran away.
The life at home was to hard for
him. The restraints of his mother's
watchful eye irke him. To do his
own will, to have his wn way,
Sandy left his home behind him,
but lie had grace enough to re
member, with a pang, those words:
"I'll keep the light burning till ye
come back, Sandy."
Some vague 'nope of being rich
and doing grfat things for those at
huine. was in hi mind, or he believ
ed so; hut a selfish desire
to escape the drugerv and the le
straint, gave the actual impulse to
his steps. He ehipped as a sailor
the next day, and began in earnest a
wild and reckless tailor's life.
It suited him. Now and then,
when the storm was at its height,
and far in tha distance the lamns of
some tall lighthouse shone like a
great red eye, the tir.y flicker of that
window sheltered candle would
dawn upon his memory, and he
would hear his mother's voice, say
ing, "111 keep it burning until ye
come tack, Sandy." Now and then,
amid the yarns and songs of the
fore castle merry-making, he heard
the crooning of the tunes she used
to sing over her work old Scottish
ballads, or perhaps some hymns
handed down from the time when
old Covenanters worshipped God
and defied man ameng th purple
heather. Tby never lured him
home to help her, thouch.
The vears rolled on, and even this
sting of conscience loet its paining.
In those days there were no such
things as sober sailors, nor captains
of temperance principles. Hard
drinkers were roost old salts, and
most young ones. Sandy drank
with the rest. He grew broad and
stout His cheek was bronzed, his
hair changed its tint, his voice grew
deep and coarse. He was in no way
a cood man, but he was a good eail-

SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. APRIL 50, ISS4.
boisterous life that drives the
thought of "mother" from men's
very souls. He had friends, at least
he thought so, men who knew him
when his pay "jingled" in nis pock
ets. He was not niggardly nay,
once he had emptied his remaining
dollars into a beggar's hand. Sandy
was bravest of tbe brave; but he had
never been generous enough nor
brave enough to go buck to his east
ward seaport, where his mother had
left the candle burning for him in
the window never, never.
Five years were gone aud ten, and
fifteen and twenty. A man nearly
forty years of age stood in Sandy
Cameron's shoes a man who led
the wildest life under the moon
ahore ; a man to whom fiery bran
dy was as v ater to a child ; a man
who remembered God only in bis
oaths when the Agamemnon came
after a long and stormy voyage just
within 8ighiaof the coast within
sight of its light-house, at least, for
in the darkness fa stormy night
nothing else was visible. Pattered
with storms already, bruised by the
waves, wounded by rocks, still the
Agamemnon fought her way home
ward : by the morrow eve 6ound
earth would be beneath the feet of
the wave-weary mariners for once,
at least, all longed for it, even wild
Sand v Cameron. He was glad. He
j watched the towering lamps with
joy and swore that they were pleas
ant sights. Before he slept he stood
a long time leaning over the taff
rail, smoking, and thinking, if he
ever thought. It was an evil linger
ing for the Agamemnon. A spark
from the cigar held in an unsteady
hand, regarded by eyes not brighter
from recent draughts of brandy,
made its way somenow, wind-borne
or demon-borae, into the place
where the cargo of the vessel had
been stored awaw, and at the dead
of nignt they of the mid watch saw
stealing through the planks beneath
theai red and yellow tongues of
tlames. I he vessel was on fire.
fire! hre! lire: the word rang
its way to heaven, shouted by every
tfinrrueon board.
The scenes that followed beggars
description. None who lived tore
member ever could forget it. There
Wks no hope from the first ; none
save in the boats. They were filled
at once. Who could forget it ! Oh,
who cotd-1 forget it! The old man
pointing to the lights on shore and
crying:
" 1 wanted to see the children once
before I died."
The captain, deathly pale, showing
that strange bravery which sailors
only possess at such a time.
Changing from a dictatorial old
hard drinker to a very hero; cling
ing in romantic fondness to his ship;
and while he did his best for every,
other soul on board, forgetting him
self, and vowing to sink with her.
The young passenger and his
bride she clung to him ; the poor
mother with her babe bound to her
breast praying on her knees amid
the tumult. The orphan child go
ing home to its grandparents, wonder-stricken,
and yet scarcely con
scious of its danger. The sailors
changed like the captain, into heroes.
Vho could forget all this? Amid
them all, gisantic in his strength,
sobered at last by the awful scene
around him, toiled Sandy Canif ron.
They remembered him well, whose
lives he saved. The bronzed man
with light hair, and the grip of Her
cules. To the boats and rafts
some to live, some to die were all
afloat. All going into the darkness,
and struggling foims had vanished
from the wares, and alone together,
the flames approaching them like
dancing demons, stood old Captain
Oaks and his first mate, Sandy
Cameron.
" Ca ptain," said Sandy, u it's most
over."
" Aye, aye, lad," said the captain.
" Give me your fiet. We've sailed
together a good while, now. We
eeem bound for the long voyage
now. Lord help us, Sandy."
"There's a chance yet, maybe,"
said the first mate "Try for it,
captain."
" No," said the sailor, " I go down
with her."
That was the last that Sandy
Cameron saw or heard of the cap
tain. A ruih and a roar from below,
where spirits were stored, ended the
words. Then came blinane-s and
silence, and time paused for
him.
At last there was sound again.
The 60und of waters. Sifht. the
red lamps of the lighthouse. Feel
ing, that of the wet sand against his
face. Some strange providenc had
saved Sandy's life. Bruised and
weak, he lay motionless for a long
time. Bruised and weak still, he

Above him his sailor eye ued
to remember such things towered
well-known rcks kissed by a strug
gling moonlight. The sea had flung
him into the arms of his native sea
port ; and up above, a man wander
ing along the shore, watching the
light-house signals, perhaps, was
singing a hymn :
"There'i a light in tbe window for tbee, brother
There' a light In the window for thae
And then the tears rolled down the
sailor's cheeks, and his softened heart
yearned for the mother who had
said : u I'll keep a light till ye come
back, Sandy."
Twenty years ago, and she was
nearly fifty then. Probably she was
dead ; but some one might be in the
old home yet who could tell him of
her. And so. in the midnight dark
ness, the sailor staggered up the
riyer path, through the changed
streets, and, led by the compass of
his heart, to the lane where his boy
hood home had been so long be
fore. The lane was no more a street of
houses now ; but at its end. or he
dreamt, Sandy saw a candle gleam.
He drew nearer. No fancy misled
him. Yes, between the curtains
stood a candle, in very truth and in
the window of his own old home.
He staggered on, his heart beating
wildly. He struck tho door with
his hand. He waited, trembling,
"What's this?" said she, in
her Scottish acccent:. and 'he an
swered :
" A poor sailor, shipwrecked and
needing shelter."
" Come in," said she, " come in
and warm ye. It's a bitter night
The candle led ye Bere.na doot. It's
burned these twenty years. Ye
wonder at that? I'd a boy once.
He left me. The candle burns for
him. I've a fancy it will wile him
back yet, and keep it burnin'. The
others are all dead ; but I'll not be
lieve he's gone ; and I said I'll keep
a light till vou come btck, Sand;
and I will."
And then, as he flung himself on

He never again forsook her. A

A Hole in the Sky.
A tall bronze-faced man, with the
easy, off hand manners and the ex-
!ectorating ability of a citizen of the
ar West, sat in the smoking car of an
outgoing train on the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy railroad as i'
whirled throngh tho outskirts of the
city. His satchel on the seat beside
him bore the legend, " T. Z. Wil
liams, Small Hopes, Arizona." He
was returning home after a week's
investigation of the ways of a big
city. While seeing the sights he
had met with one adventure which
puzzled him exceedingly. He told
of it in a free, careless manner. One
morning he had started out to do a
little prospecting," as he called it.
Having served in the war, the pano
rama of the battle of Gettysburg nat
urally excited his attention. He
bought a ticket, then he hired an
opera glass, leaving a deposit of $.".
While enjoying a prolonged squint
through the glasses he was startled
by hearing a sweet voice at his
eioow.
" Isn't it lovely ?" said the fair
one. "How I wish I had brought
my opera glasses. Mav I use yours a
minute?"'
With the gallantry of the true son
of the boundless West. Mr.
Williams offered his glasses.
" Oh, thanks ; how kind you are,"
she said, and a pair of big brown
eyes met his ardent glance.
ror a moment the lady gazed
through the glasses, and Mr. Wil
liams stood by in silent rapture.
" Great Scot ! look at that," sud
denly exclaimed a young man at his
elbow.
Mr. Williams turned quickly and
gazed intently at a spet in the paint
ed sky, which the young man was
pointing out. After fully satisfying
himself that there was nothing re
markable about a spot on a piece of
canvas, tie turned back iully pre
pared to address the fair borrower
of his opera glasses. She was gone.
This surprised him a little, but he
waited tor her return, ihe voung
man who had discovered the inter
esting spot on the sky qad al9 dis
appeared. After waiting half an
hour, Mr. Williams decided to go to
his hotel. He concluded he would
not say anything about the glasses
at the box-office. He remained in
the city several days,and a!thouh he
kept a sharp lookout, he failed to
meet his fair acquaintance.
rears to me '..hicago wimen is
purty nice," he remarked, reflective
ly, as he hoisted his feet onto the
hack of the seat just in front of him,
" but, blast me. if they ain't darn
forgetful." '
It has since transpired that the
gentleman from small hopes is not
the only one who has met the forget
ful w oman at the panorama.
ITn leavened Bread.
In Cincinnati is the only matzes
steam bakery in that part of the
country, and the latest and most
improved machinery is used. The
main feature is the rapidity with
which the dough is handled and
with this improved machinery it is
scarcely touched by the hands of
the workmen. The process is very
simple. Exact proportions of flour
and water are weighed out and im
mediately put into the kneading ma
chine, which consists of a heavy
iron trough and a huge, fluted iron
cylinder, weighing 700 pounds. The
cylinder moves forward and baak
ward over the dough, thoroughly
kneading it in less than five min-
I utes. I he dough is then transferred
to the first rolling machine, which
rolls it out into a smooth sheet
about half an inch thick. It is then
passed through a second machine
and rolled to a proper thickness for
the "cutter." This last machine cuts
the dough into uniform sheets CxS
inches, and stamps the holes into it.
From the cutter it is passed direct
ly into the oven, where it is baked
and finished in one minute and a
quarter. The time required to make
the matzos, from the time the flour
is taten from the barrel until it is
taken from the even is less than fif
teen minutes, so that the dough has
not time to became sour. The ma
chinery and ovens are used for this
purpose only, and consequently are
idle for nine months in the year.
The firm will make 200.0(J0 pounds
of matzos this year. They sflip it
to Nebraska, Colorado, and all over
the South.

There is no novelist now using

such wide felt and honest sorrow as
the tidings brought last Saturday
that Charles Keade will write no
more. Other authors of prose fic

the few, but there is not one of the

had actual service as a common sea

medicine and law. His life has been
quiet and uneventful. An Oxferd
msn taking his right rank for clas
sical attainments, he was trained for
the law, but was self-apprenticed as
play wright and novelist. His nov
els do not contain autobiography in
disguise. Yet they reveal unerringly
the manliness of his character, the
passionate earnestness of his nature.
His detestation of hypocrisy and
cant, his hatred of injustice ami
wrong, his sp'endid courage and tre
mendous energy in working out
practical reforms, in pleading the
cause of the oppressed and in fight
ing the battle of the poor prisoner,
the plundered author, and the victim
of trades union or mad-house, gave
him a proud preeminence as a nov
elist who was not writing either for
money or reputation, but with posi
tive ends and distinct moral purpos
es always before his eyes, in the
literary loom which he so industri
ously plied, the strong fibre of his
own pure, generous and resolute
manhood was never once broken
off.
Charles Read was a very method
ical worker, and neglected no helps.
It was his habit to form scrap-beoks
containing whatever strange, or star
ting events or stories appeared in
the daily press, and of these books,
which he called his "brains," he had
accumulated a formidable number.
Believing as he did that an author is
entitled to appropriate matterwhere
eever he finds it, provided that
he adapts it. it is not remarkable that
he snould several times have been
charged with plagiarism, nor that in
some of these instances his defence
should have been rather adroit than
satisfactory. He posessed a fertility
of invention which made him inde
pendent of extraneous assistance,
however, and his original work will
bear comparison with the strongest
in English fiction, either past or
nresent.
He has been charged with
inordinate vanity. The truth doubt- eu for p'anting out, remove the tu
less is that he w"as aware of his own i bers as carefully as possible, in order
ability, and did not hypocritically j not to injure the roots, and plant in
depreciate it. That he pose.sed a I well-prepared soil. Remove any ex-
depreciate it. inat he po;
most sterling character is certain.
Ht. was ever ready to defend the op
pressed careless of the dtls. and with
a fire and energy which nothing
could restrain. His hand was id
ways open to a pitiful tale, and the
many authentic stories of his benev
olence show him to have had a
knightly and tender heart. Irrita
table and fiery he was, and impa
tient of bores and fribbles, to whom
he could not always behave with
conventional courtesy. But he was
a faithful friend, a defender of the
lowly, a fierce and implacable foe to
cruelty, fraud and oppression in all
their forms. And when in those
books of his which will become
classic he is in the full tide of passion
ate denunciation of wrongs, he car
ries his reader away upon
Ki cur- i
rent of his enthusiasm, and impres
ses the deepest conviction of the
truth of his positions. The char
ming, sweet and delightful women
of his tales are said to have had for
their models his own mother and
sister, and the man may well be es
teemed fortunate whose estimate
of womanhood is plaeed so high,
throngh the permanent boon of such
relationships.

WHOLE NO. 1711,
F'ear an an Ally of Disease.
While the plaguo was raging in
Buenos Ayres the grave dickers bore
charmed lives. Of the 300 men f
employed not one died of the disease.
It ha3 often been noticed that during
the prevalence of pestilental diseases,
physicians, undertakeis, nurses and
grave diggers, whose business com
pelled constant liability to infection,
have usually escaped in a far greater
ratio than their numbers would war
rant. Tbe "charm" of this immuni
ty from the prevailing scourge is
very simple. They are not scared.
They are positive as to the dieease,
and repel its attacks. Fear is a
great ally of death. Whoever is
afraid of disease is in a negative po
sition, ana really invites its ap
proach. And thus it is the world
over, l ne brave die but once, wniie
i cowards die manv times.

as can be found, on dry, warm

with care, not too much at once, and
as often as four or five times a day.
The fir.-t feed in the morning should
j be given early, before sum .se, if pes

the morning. The sed may be
scalded and slightly warm, but not

crumbly consistence is about right ;
give no more at once than will be
eaten up clean. Have good, roomy
coops ; keep them clean and sweet,
and confine the hens in them for
the first two or three weeks, and
don't let the dams eat too much of
the feed. The chickens are worth
attending to, therefore look after
them.
How to Get Karly Potatoes.
The best plan we have ever tried
to get "r.o potatoes" a few days in
advance of the main crop, and to be
first in the race which is one of the
many pleasures in gardening is to
select mediuni-sizetl potatoes', and
put them in a box of Sphagnum
Moss, or, if that cannot be obtained,
saw-dust or common garden soil will
answer; place the potato seed end
up, and fill between them and under
them with the moss, leaving only
the tip of the potato exposed. This
will caure the leading eye to sprout,
which takes most of the nourishment
from the tuber, and consequently Is

the other eyes produced plants.
Iliese should oe started about a
month earlier than the usual plant
ing time. The boxes of tubers may
lie placed in a hot-bed, or in any
warm room, giving them all tha light
possible. When the time has arriv-
cept the main shoot, should any ap
pear.
By this method potatoes may be
had from one to two weeks earlier
than by the ordinary method of
planting.
Look Out for Your Head.
No matter what part it may final

know how it is by sad experience.

A Popular Beret aee
As I sat talking with Penman
Thompson the other evening, tho
gerial impersonator of Uncle Josh
remarked tLat he was greatly annoy
ed by rheumatism. An acquain
tance walked to his room in the ho
tel and returned with a bottle of
lime water, which he hfnded Mr.
Thompson, saying :
"There, if you drink that your
rlu umatism will disappear."
Mr. Thompson held 'the bottle in
hi hand a few minutes and looked
at it and t?.en, shaking his head
he said in a very lunny tone.
"I'm sorry, but you're really too
late, I can't do it. There are thirty
five ahead of you and my mantel
looks like a shelf in a drug store."
The gentleman took back his lime
juice and substituted a more popu
lar beverage.
