Oflentimes when Even's scarlet Hajr
Floats from the crest of distant woods.
And over moorland wate and crag
A weary, voiceless sorrow broods ;
Around me hover to and fro
The ghosts of songs heard long ago.
And often midst the rush cf wheeN,
Of pausing and repassing feet.
When half a headlong city reels
Triumphant down the noontide street.
Above the tumult of the throngs
I hear again the same old songs.
Kest and unrest 'tis strange that ye,
Who lie apart as pole from pole,
Should sway with onestrongsov'reignty
The secret issues of the soul ;
Strange that f e both should hold the keys
Of prisoned tender memories.
It muy be when the landscape's rim
Is red and slumberous round the west
The spirit too rows still and dim,
And turns in half-unconscious que.t
To those forgotten lullabies
That whilom closed the infant's eye.
And maybe, when the city mart
Roars with its fullest, loudest tide
The spirit loses helm and chart,
And on an instant, terrified.
Has fled across the space of years
To notes that banished childhood's fears.
We know not but 'tis sweet to know
Dead hours still haunt the living day.
And sweet to hope that, when the slow
Sure message beckons us away,
The past may send some tuneful breath
To echo round the bed of death.

A PRIZE VENTURE.
When one is newly married, and
has commenced life in small rooms
on a second floor, there are no long
hulls and high stairways to traverse
between the cooking and sleeping
apartments. Therefore, when I
heard Mary fill the kettle and stir
the fire and the next instant saw her
beside my bed, I took her sudden
advent as a matter ol course. But
it is confessed that her opening sal
utation came weighted with an atom
of surprise.
"You know that vacant bedroom,
dear? Wei', we can furnish it now."
"Can we ?" I asked meekly. 'Have
you been taking a risk in stocks?"
"Here it is,'' she said, with a sad
den tremor in her voice, and a flut
ter in her hands. "A thousand dol
lars for forty-three stories. A hun
dred dollars for one, fifty for anoth
er, and so on down. And newspaper
men are especially invited to try.
You must take a day off, and when
we get the $100 we can fit up the
spare room. Let me see $40 for a
chamber set, $20 for a carpet, 810
for pictures and then we will send
$10 more to father and mother to
pay their fare here and pay us that
long premised visit. Onlv $100,
Jack, and see what happiness it
brings!" And the dear girl threw
her arms about my neck, and gave
me a rousing kiss.
Wei!, when she settled down to
colli facts, produced a copy of the
p:ner, and showed me the tempting
oiler in plain black and white, 1
grew interested. I knew that news
paper men, and especially young re
porters, had little time fur true liter
ary work, but imagined that with an
incentive to spur me on I cu!il
gain an odd half day or so in the
next two weeks, and write out some
of the fragmentary ideas that had
floated through my mind fcr several
ytars, in patient waiting for clothing
and a habitation. We had no diffi
culty in agreeing that the attempt
should be made, and noue whatever
as to the use to which the prize
money should he put. Mary hud
di-pose-d of that without aid from
me. The only question that con
fronted us was the character of the
story, its location, tone and treat
ment. We gave the whole noon
hour to its discussion.
"You must be careful," said Mary,
with the air of one who" for years
had filled a professorship in a col
lege for the education of fiction
writers, "to give it a conversational
form. Long paragraphs don't look
well, and readers are tempted to
skip. Put in a little love-making.''
"That's trite," I said.
"Is it? Well, people never grow
tired of it. Make it end happily,
whatever you do. Bret Harte's
school may" suit the Bret Harte,
hut one doesn'tlike to be sent away
from a story with a suicide or hang
ing as the finale ; and above all
things, Jack, choose a subject about
which you know something. Don't
flounder around in a mystic or a far
away region on which you have
never set eyes."
'How would Alaska do ?" I asked
solemnly.
"What do you know about Alas
ka? Or the Desert of Sahara? Or
Patagonia? Keep inside of Ohio.
Make it 6hort, terse, and put into it
not only what might easily happen,
but something that has happened."
1 left her clearing off the table,
and singing softly to herself. I was
due at the office of the Dailg Xejitune
at 2 p. m., to receive my assignment
of local work. I had left a hope
blossoming at home that the dv
might be light of work, and that I
might return soon and give a few
hours to the opening of my. prize
story. The plot formed itself bn my
walk to the strtet cars, and the
scenes unfolded and fitted into each
other as the slow steeds covered th
three miles between my house and
the office. I would be back by 4.
three hours of good work would
help me along, I could close it up
on Sunday, Mary could cpy it at
her leisure, the $100 would really ba
a godsend.
"You must get a rig immediately,"
said the city editor, "and drive out
to the Five Mil Lock. There has
been a powder mill explosion, and
several men killed. Throw yourself,
Smithy, on this, as it has the mak
ing of a sensation."
The newspaper instinct was alive
and at work. I forgot all about the
story, the prize money, and had
time for only one tender regret fori
the disappointed little wife at home,
The day was cold, the rain changed
to snow, the distance was Jang, the
road heavy, and the pursuit of in-! allowed General Snodgers and the w men spares no one irom us wita
formation difficult amid the chaos tariff question to rest in the dim ra- enng mtluence.
that reigned all about the Lock
But my note boak was eventually
loaded, and I decided to stop at
home for a hurried lunch on my
way to tne omce.

ESTABLISHED, 1827.
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. MAY 21, 1884.
I wife was cordial and kind, but a
trace ol tears on ner cneeus siiowea
the disappointment she was too good
10 voice, in our coy smmg room
stood iny table, drawn close to the
frrnlu n tr ulioi. onil til TinPTJ ViOC l A il
it, and pens and paper in place.
1 have looked tor you since 4,"
! ail she said. "But, I know, dear,
was
that business kent you away."
"But we won't give up the story,"
I said, decidedly. "We may not get
the hundred dollars on account of a
hurry about our work, but we will
make sure of one of the fifties."
"Fifty dollars," said Mary, "would
buy the chamber set and a cheap
pretty ingrain, and we could put off
the pictures until your saliry is
raised." (We were always postpon
ing thinizs to that golden Utopia.
We had in imagination spent and
resnent a dozen "raises." It cost
little and was better than running
in debt.)
I kissed her good-bye, and started
to the office. When I reached tha
street she raised the window to call
alter me :
"Be sure and decide upon your
subject, Jack, as we must commence
it to-morrow."
My uual hour of reaching honaa
was o a. m. This time it was after
4. A second edition had kept us. I
walked the three miles too tired in
body and mind to think of my story
or anything else. 1 was just thn
more interested in the character of
powder mill explosions, as related to
newspaper reports, than in litera
ture ; and the fact that an expected
promotion of the city editor to the
"intellectual department" of the
Xeptunc, with a bestowal of his long
and honorably worn shoes on some
one ele, might had to the bettering
of my position, kept me close to the
practical side of life. 1 went to
eleep almofct before 1 was undressed,
and forgot to give even a dream to
the subject that had grown very
close to the dear little heart at my
side.
All day and evening sessions of
the National Society for the organiz
ing of South African and East Indi
an Missions, held me close for the
next week, and the mere mechanical
labor of following long drawn
speeches, and copying voluminous
reports, and resolutions with many
"whereases" so used up liy mental
and vital energy, that I had heart
and thought .for nothing else. I lot
some of the brst points in my pro
jected story, and was compelled to
explain the plot in lull to my wile,
lest I should lose it altogether be
fore the lung deferred time of plac
ing it upon paper, should dawn up
on us.
"Perhaps we can get a few hours'
rest 00 Sunday." 1 said, "and then
we will take oil our coats and go at
it. Of course I can't expect to strike
the 8-jO class, with the lime at my
disp sal, hut we will be satisfied to
go ir, at $ 10, eh, little one ?''
"Of course we will, my dear," she
saiil, brightly. "One can get a fair
chamber set but I guess we'll have
to let that go until your salary is a
little more, and we will put the S40
into the hook case you have wanted
so long. Is it a bargain ?"
It was signed, sealed, and deliver
ed with a kiss.
Sunday cante, and with it a scat
tering oi' the reverend gentlemen
who had participated in the mission
d liberations and dtbatts, to the va
rious pulpits ot the city and subur
ban churches. "Follow them
around." said the city editor on ."Sat
urday night, "and get something of
the services held by a dozen of the
best of them. Whei that is out of
the wav, drop over and get old Gen.
Snodgv-r's opinion of this confounded

When Mary called me on Sunday
morning, I dressed slowly, and put
off a soiiiire look into her face as
loiiL' as I Dossiblv could. 1 knew she-
had been out on Saturday looking
at book-cases, and had set her heart
on siting that story dashed into
with vigor and energy before 3 p. m.,
and perhaps whipped into shape by
evening.
When I drew up to the table she
moved the sugar-bowl and milk
pitcher to one side, gave me a half
hopeful and half-pleading look, and
simply said, "Well?"
I temporized.
"Marv. we ought to have a new
i set of curtains for our sitting-room."
j "Yes, but they can wait."
j "Twenty-five "dollars wonld buy
I them and hang them."
"I know it, but the twenty-hve
dollars?"
"Oh, that's all right. I tell you
the plot is too deep to work up in
the time we have. Suppose we lay
aside the story we have on hand and
reel off a little sketch that will strike
the Si'") grade ? You know that I can
do that at any time. Shall we do
it?"
"Whatever yoi. think best, of
course. We do need the book-case,
but the curtains would add greatly
to the appearance of the room
When will vour sketch get itself
commenced ?"
"That's easy enough. I'll give it
a send-olf to-night, after my other
work is out of the way, and will
show it to you in the morning. It
will hinge on an old farmer who
thought he had seen a ghost in the
ravine into which the Ashtabula
railroad bridge went tumbling on
that awful winter's night"
"I don't like ghost stories," Baid
Mary ; "but, then, I am not on the
committee of award. Suppose you
run into Stein's to-marrow and price
the curtains."

I just come home from a triD to the
! South, and being afraid that hia el-
; ficient managing editor was getting
too much credit for the prosperity of
the paper, decided ta show the re
porters that he was still master of
the situation. An hour after the

reporters were beginning to drop
with their fragments of news to
dove-tail into a graphic account, the
old geutleman hustled into the
room.
"Where's Jones?" '
"He is nff for the night."
"What! How dare he, the city
editor, go off when the biggest block
in the city is on fire!"
It was suggested that the city ed
itor hardly knew that the fire was
coming when he made his plans.
Then old Anthracite turned on
ai other track.
"Who's filling his place?"
"Mr. Smith."
"Oh! Well, Smith, do you know
that there's a big fire up street?"
"Yes, sir. We are covering it."
"Do it well. Don't let 'he Jupiter
scoop us. If the Jupiter has two
columns, I want four. If the Jupiter
has four columns, I want eight.
Now. sir, go ahead and do your
best." And he stalked out of the
room without suggesting how the
information touching the Jupiter'
purpose was to be obtained in ad
vance of publication. (This is the
Anthracite idea of news by the
foot. He belongs to a newspaper
not yet extinct, but happily rapidly
becoming so.)
It was a night of vexation in ways
needless to describe here, but affairs
had shaped themselves into success:
by press time. But the Ashubula
farmer and his ghost were still in the
wierd land of imagination when I
crept quietly into uy house at day
break. I had given neither a
thought, and instead of reaching out
for new worlds to conquer, was
thankful that I had steered safely
through the fire. Anthracite and
other dangers of the night. My wife
opened her eyes as I entered, and
murmured, "and how about the
ghost?"
The whole matter f that unwrit
ten story rolled over me like a flood.
Knowing that even the justification
which my conscience could clearly
allow would create only disappoint
ment, I foolishly sought refuge in
anger, and crossly answered, "con
found the ghost, and the story toY."
She made no answer in word?,
but the arm that lay around my
neck when I fell asleep on other
mornings was not lifted to its accus

Before leaving iiome on Monday
noon I said :
"We will get thst sketch out of the
way soon, my dear."
"Never mind it now," she said.
"You have work enough and worry
enougli without it."
"It will go all the si.me," I said,
and meant it too.
Five days later I was given a
half-holiday, work running light

rushed for a car, was soon home,
and hurrying into the house caught
Mary in my arms and shouted: "I

immediately "'
"Go at"
"The story, of course. Hurrah for
the curtains !"'
She placed her arms about my
neck, looked up with a half smile
on her lips and a tear in her eye,
and said in a whisper :
"Never mind the story now, Jack.

Dr. Gattlinj; Talks) Abent II is Gbds.
"In 1SC1 I was living at Indian
apolis. The war had broken out
and the country was all excitement
My house was within a few blocks
of the depot and I was often present
there when volunteers were depart
ing for the field, and alo when their
dead bodies were at times shipped
back home in boxes for burial. One
surprise to me was that the
number of men killed by sickness
and diseases was more than' those
killed by ball or actual battle. One
day I remember nineteen corpses
were landed at the depot; three had
been killed in battle. The thought
then struck me if a gun could ba
invented that would do the work of
a hundred men, and would require
but a few men to operate it, that
the horrors of war would be ereatly
diminished, and an end would coma
much sooner of every struggle.
Mor men could stay at home, and
lives would be saved. The thought
took such hold of me that I com
menced to work on it at ne. The
result was the Gatling gun
"My first guns were made in Cin
cinnati, and they would fire from
1-tO to 2o0 shots per roinuts. I bad
six of them manufactured in 18G2,
when the foundry was burned by
incendiaries I suppose rebel sym
pathizers and the guns were de
stroyed. Next I had thirteen guns
made at what is now the type foun
dry in Cincinnati, and those I sent
on by my partner, a wealthy mer
chant of Cincinnati, to Washington
to persuade the Governnent to in
troduce them. He took them to
Baltimore, where he left twelve, aad
went with the other to Washington.
The chief of the ordinance depart
ment at the time was an old fogy.
He received him coldly, told him he
had no faith in his gun, and that he
believd flintlock muskets were, on
the whole, the best weapons for war
fore. In short he would have noth
ing to do with him. My partner
then left Washington, and returned
to Baltimore. Ben. Butler was there
with his troops. He had heard of
the guns, and he asked to see them
work. As saon as he had done so
he said he would buy them on hia
own responsibility and did so, giv
ing his vouchers for $12,000 for
them. My partner had this cashed,
but at this time there was a great
fall in pork, and 50,000 hogs which
he had packed in Chicago with the
expectation of a rise had to be sold.
In a word, the break in the market
ruined him, and my money went
with him. So, for the first twenty
guns I had made t a great cost to
mvseif I received nothing. Ben
Butler took the guns he had brought
with him to the battle of Petersburg
and fired them himself upon the
rebels. They created great conster
nation and slaughter, and the news
of them went all over the world.
Now they are used by all the lead
ing governments of Europe and also
in Asia and Africa. They enabled
the Prussians to conquer Austria in
1870, though the ustrians had the
larger forces, and they shortened the
war by Germany and France so
that it practically lasted a few days.
"The Gatling guns are now made
in Hartford, this country, and in
Europe at Newcastle-on-the-Tyne.
1 sell only to governments and the
United States uses many of my guns.
They now take part in all wars and
you have seen the reports of the
work they have done in Egypt."
"How far will the Gatling gun send
a ball ?"
"From two to three miles. The
new improvements which will ena
ble it to be fired into the air are
such that the ball, when it falls to
the earth, acquires from the force of
gravity Euch a velocity that when it
reaches the ground it will pass
through a plank two inches thick.
This is at a distance of 3,000 yards
from the place of firing."
"Will it shoot accurately ?"
"Yes. We can aim the gun at a
plank nailed to a support several
thousand yards away, and by mov
ing the gun rapidly along while fir
ing we can cut line through the
board as though it were sawed.
Bullets of different sizes are used
in different guns. No two bullets
leave the guns at the same time, but
when you consider that 1,200 shots
can be fired in a minute you will
see how rapidly and regularly it
works."

Vienna Rolls.
Says the Hotel Mail: The Vienna
bread is made in various ways, some
of which require the machinery of a
large bake-house and are not raana
geable in an ordinary kitchen. The
eo-called "Vienna rolls" can be made
in any household by the following
receipt: Finest wheat Hour, eight
pounds; milk, three and oue-haif
quarts; water, thre and one-half
quarts ; compressed yeast, three and
one-third onces; salt one ounce.
After all the materials have acquired
the temperature of the rootti the
tlaur is poured in a loose heap ii
the middle of the baking trough and
a small quantity of the heap, on one
side, mixed to a thin dough with the
milk and water previously poured
together, and mixed with the yeast
and salt. The dough is allowed to
stand three-quarters of au hour, well
covered. Alter this time, or as soou
as fermentation has begun, the dough
is mixed intimately with the remain
der of the tlour and the rest of the
liquid, and left to rise for two hours
and a half. It is then cut in pieces
weighing each one pound, each of
which ia divided into twelve square
pieces of equal weight. The corners
of each of these squares having beeu
turned over to the center, the cakes
are put into the oven and baked for
fifteen minutes. The heating must
be uniform. If the oven is hotter in
one place thau another the cakes
must be shifted about. To impart
a gloss to the cakes they are brush
ed over with a sponge dipped into

How The Money in Caret! For.
A reporter in conversation with
Mr. Pinkerton learned the following
facts :
"1 suppose there are stored in the
banks and safe deposit vaults in
Wall street and vicinity not far
from 81,IWO,000,0JO," said Mr: Rob
ert Pinkerton, as he sat in a com
fortable easy chair in hi? office in
Exchange place. "I may be a little
out of the way in my estimate, but
not much. The protection of all
this wealth requires the services of a
large number of men in addition to
the usual mechanical and electric
devices employed for that purpose.
The bulk of this large sum of money
is stored in the vault3 of the safede
riosit companies. The vaults are
built of the fire-proof and
and burglar proof material and
are made as secure as modern inven
tion will allow. They are connected
by electric wires with the nearest
district telegraph office. Armed
watchmen pace to and fro in the
rooms upon which the vaults opes.
These men are required to give a
signal over the wire at stated inter
vals during the night, in ordr
to prove to the proper authorities i

men there are other watchmen who
patrol the street in front of the buil
ding in which the vaults are placed.
Private watchmen and detectives are
also on the lookout for suspicious
persons."
"Are there as many professional

Concerning Health.
One of the causes of dyspepsia at
tha present day consists in the hob
bies which so many people ride in
regard to food. One person gets the
impression that one article of diet
is a cure-all, and another that some
thing else will prevent all the evils
that flesh is heir to, and he makes a
hobby of this one thing, and not
only rides himself to death on it but
insists that all the persons whom ho
knows, or over whom he has any
influence, shall ride it too.
Oatmeal is good in its way, if one
likes it, and grits and Graham bread
and many other things, but they
will create dyspepsia if they are not
properly cooked or used too contin
ually, and to the exclusion of other
varieties of feed.
Dyspepsia is mora often cured by
an absolute meat diet than by a veg
etarian diet, and the reason why
good effects often follow the first
trials of vegetarianism -is because
the subjects have been in the habit
of eating heartily of meat, and the
change benefits them. On the same
principle it is beneficsal for those
who have been in the habit of mak
iug their breakfast of oatmeal to
take a new departure occasionally
and make a breakfast of meat fish
or fruit
There are many small observances
in eating which arc essential to
health and to which the mast ardent
formers pay no sort of attention.
One of these is to ba sure that bread
is perfectly sweet, and one day old.
Another is the abstaining from hot
toast, hot biscui., hat bread ot any
kind, not only because it forms
hard, soggy pellets in the stomach,
but melts the butter and reader it
indigestible.
Tea drank coustantly and in such
quantities as one good-sized cup
three times a day, as many people
drink it, is responsible, say some of
our leading physicians, for the terri
ble kidney diseases which have de
veloped themselves with such alarm
ing rapidity of late years. Temper
ance in all things, and as much as
possible of good, wholesome food, is
wisdom.
Give thought, care and pains to
your housekeeping, so that it shall
be clean and healthful, and create
an atmosphere in which it shall be
good to live. Cooking is not all
there is of life, even in the kitchen,
and ifyou find yourself, even against
your will, obliged to give most of.
your tiaie to it, put into it your in

if you wrote a successful book.
A Mule'a stagacity.
A writer in the Youth' Companion
relates the following instance of a
mule's sagacity :
While stationed at Fort Webster,
in what is now Arizona, he started
down the canyon on a very fine and
larg mule. The mule stopped ab
ruptly, aad signified that he would
not budge another step. Spurs were
dug into his f!ank3 to no purppse.
Thtro he stood, as firm as a rock,
Hammond pulled him round, and
galloped back to the fort The next
morning it was ascertained that at a
point scarcely one hundred yards in
advance of where the mule gained
his victory some Apache Indians
had ambushed the road, and but for
the brute's keen nose and ears, and
firmness in resisting an ofistinate
man, short work would have been
made of both.
While journeying across the
plains thirty or more years ago there
were hundreds of instances equally
remarkable. The writer stood guard
every other night over tha stock
that was out to graze, and depended
entirely for warning of danger from
two large American mules. They
would scent an Indian or a grizzly
a much longer distance than a dog,
and at once stop eating and point
unerringly with their long ears to
th direction of the danger.
Have Juries t.o Much Power.
In dircussing the jury system in
the light of the Cincinnati riot, it is
well to distinguish between the sys
tem itself and the abuses to which
it is subjected. The laws will gen
erally be found Ies3 objectionable
that the manner of their enforcement
hence the best way to reform the
jury system would be to correct the
abuses which inhere in it by reason
of the lax administration of the laws
under which it was organized.
There is a strong disposition, how
ever, to question tha soundness of
the laws m relation to jurors. The
provisions under which intelligence
is excluded and ignorance invited
into the jury box; the fact that ju
ries are made judges of the law as
well as of the facts: the require
ment that they must be unanimous
in order to fine a verdict; that they
are permitted to acquit if they enter
tain a reasonable doubt as to guilt,
they themselves being the judges as
to what constitutes such a doubt
these, and kindred provisions are re
garded by many writers as confer
ring too much power npon juries,
especially when so little care is exer
cised in getting the right kind of
men to serve as jurors.
In some States, notably Illinois,
vigorous efforts have been made 'to
have the criminal code and practice
so amended as to compel juries to
take the law from the courts, but as
yet they have proved unavailing.
The same law prevails in this State,
in New York, and throughout the
country generally. It is of little
avail forjudges to instruct juries in
the law, when th law has already
vested them with power to determ
ine the law for themselves so far as
the particular case before them is
concerned. It is under this author
ity that they are able to find of the
first degtee manslaughter, er to ac
quit a defendant when there i3 indu
bitable proof of his guilt This pow
er is all the more dangerous since
there is no remedy against those
who abuse it, and no power in the
court to set aside verdicts which are
palpable perversions of both'law and
jus t ice. Jittib ury Com-Gozette.
