HOLMES, When Eve had led her lord away, And Cain had killed his brother. The stars and flowers, the poets say. Agreed with one another To cheat the cunning tempter's art. And teach the race Its daty. By keeping on Its wicked beart Their eyes of light and beauty. A million sleepless lids, they say. Will be at least a warning ; And so the flowers would watch by day. The stars from eve to morning. On hill and prairie, field and lawn. Their dswy eye upturning. The flowers sail watch from reddening dawn Till western skies are burning. Alas! each hour of daylight tells A tale of shame so crushing That some turn hile as sea bleached shells. And some are always blushing. But when the patient stars look down On all their light discovers Tbe traitor's anile, the mn-derer's frown The lips oflying lovers They try to shut their saddening eyes, And in the vain endeavor We see them twinkling la the skies, And so they wink torever. MISS PERRY'S MASCOT. BY Jl'LIA T. BISHOP. " I don't mind if ye brine out one for a few weeks, Eben!" called Miss Perry from the front door, where she stood and shaded her eyes with her hand ; " but, mind yon, it must be a good, hefty one, 'at can help ue along with the work. I don't want n young 'una around jest for me to wait on. And I'd rather it would be a boy an' a girl." " Yes, Marthy," called Eben back from tbe wagon, gathering np the reins in his slow, deliberate way, and in a few min utes he and the fat old farm horse were jogging comfortably down the road to gether, while his sister went back into the house and " set " the bread to rise in the window. "I do hope Eben won't commit no foolishness," she said to herself, as she went busily from one piece of work to another. " He's been after me the longest time to take a orphan for the summer, because the asylum people was a sendin' 'em out that way, and I jest had to give in, but I know in reason I'll repent it. I ougbtet 'a' gone an' picked one out for myself. Eben ain't got no practical notions 'bout im." Surely, if ever there was a place where an orphan could come and learn how to live, it was to this Perry farm. The old house was large and cool, with wide gal leries and great bowers of Tines. The prairies stretched out in front of it, with wheat fields and corn fields and orchards and back of it were high wooded hills. ttith the wind alwava maVfnr mrmi" among the leaves, and with a pretty lit tle brook drawing a perfect tiail of music about through the hills. That little brook was alive with min nows, if only any child had been there to see them : and there were even tiny fish in the deeper holes, that might have been caught with a pin-hook, they were so tame. The only trouble was that there was no child about the Perry Ikrm. Those spotless floors had never been tracked by childish feet The very cat, that great- demure, contented cat, had not seen a child for so long a time that I think he would have been frightened almost to death if one had chanced to come upon him suddenly. And now the word had been spoken, and Mifs Martha's promise was given. A child was going to be brought there that very evening perhaps some great, rough creature, who would spread disor der all over that orderly house. Miss Martha could only sigh and tremble and hepe again that the orphan would be " a good hefty one." Eben was late getting home, and Miss Perry fidgeted about from the kitchen to the front door nntil Socrates, the cat grew suspicious of her movements, and hid under the kitchen table and growled at her. "Of coarse the child 'il be hungry, as children always are," she said, and she harried back to the table and filled up a glass with creamy milk and set it beside that plate that was to stand between her own and Eben's. Then she set down s dish of honey in its own snowy comb and then, after another journey to the front door, she brought oat a glass of entrant jelly- Indeed there would have been nothing left in Miss Perry's stores, if the sound of the wheels had not stopped her. At that sound she retreated into the corner at the end of the table and stood waiting, as grim looking as though she had never had a kind impulse in her life. What had come over Eben ? She could bear him talking before he reached the gate, and he drove np and stopped with a great flourish. " Now, then, Sampson," she shouted, cheerily, and before Sliss Perry had col lected her scattered senses, they were coming along the hall. What was that sounding beside Lis heavy tread? Not tbe tap of a crutch ? " Well, Marthy," he said, slowly, and wlrling his hat a little awkwardly, sow that he was face to face with tbe conse quences, " I brung ye a orphan, an' a good, hefty one, no, ain't he? Ye might bant s year, an not find one as needed it ary worse." The little fellow beside him such a tiny little fellow, leaning upon such a little mite of a crutch ! looked from one to the other of them. He had a small, thin face, and his eyes were far too large and bright for it He had a friendly spir it, this orphan that had come to the country for the summer, and presently he limped over to Miss Perry and held up a tiny hand, with a smiling -Howdy r Miss Martha took the litt'e hand ehe could do no less ; but she looked so grim and relentless that the child said, apoie ally : " I'm much obliged." Miss Perry's face crimsoned, and she looked at ber brother. I reckon be needs it," she said, curt ly, "an' as long as he's here he shall hsve it Coane on toyour suppers. Eve rything's been a waitin far s hour, an' I reckon that the little feller u awful hun gry." As the child ate her heart warmed t wards him. He had .aever been placed before such s "Upper in his life. erset ESTABLISHED 1837. Real milk, and as much of it as he wanted. Lovely bread, and country butter, and honey ! Why, whole generations of starvation were helping that boy eat, and Miss Per ry could scarcely keep back the tears as she atcbed him. She might be old and grim and cross, but it was s horrible, bad thing to think of any boy's being hun gry when there was her table, for in stance, always full, and only two old people, with very little appetite, to sit at it. After supper was over and the tired child had been put to bed. Miss Perry sat musing, with her work in her lap, and Eben held his breath, expecting tbe out bust of indignation that was sure to ccme ; but, after a long silence, Mies Per ry bean sewing very industriously, say ing only : " I'm glad you brought that little mite of a pony, now, Eben. Of course it's no account on a farm, just as I told you, but it'll be nice for the little chap to ride about the place." " Great snakes !" murmured Eben soft ly, under his breath, but he was too wise to saw anything in " Marthy's " hearing He was well aware that " Marthy " was " kind o' scurious," and " likely to do 1 most anything." At any rate, she waaj going to keep the child, and that wasf some comfort He hadj rather ex peeled. to be posted back to town with him Lbs next morning. j When Eben came in from the field tht next day at noon he had to stop and lear against the back gate for a few minutes so overcome was he with surprise. F there was Miss Perry Miss Martha Pet ry, absolutely leadin? that small po all about the yard, while the orpheV rode, his thin face glowing with a sm& of unspeakable delight t Truly, this was paradise ! And alow behind them came a long procession dis posed of the cat two dogs, a goose a-d seven ducks, all appearing to enjoy le promenade to tbe utmost Miss Pry saw her brother and turned her face tie other way while she lifted the down." " I'm much obliged " cried the Etle fellow, stopping to shake hands, i 'm , very much obliged." It gave Miss Perry a queer filing about her heart She laughed tinu- lously and went into the house and then beard her singing. I " Great snakes ! an' I can't say rs-re'n that he ejaculated again. It was not that Marthy s voice wi mu sical or her method accurate ; it wionly that he had not heard her sing ir fif teen years. i ' Anything you want from towt Mar. thy ?" Eben asked one morningt few days later. "Now I'll ae whwaW she vt. ...J the chap back, fe o saying to himself, with some trepida tion. I ' Yes. Eben. vou may eet abo twen- ty feet of rope, an' we'll make Innie a swing under the elm tree. The iesh air will do him good," she added with a side-long look at her brother. I Elen thought he had reachehe lim it of surprises then, aud he wet on his way, looking quite round -eyed with as- astonishment. 1 But greater wonders yet wet in store for him. He reached horaeibout the middle of the afternoon, that ly, to find the Perry farm house standing ide open and utterly deserted, not evt Socrates being visible. The sound of oices and lanzhter came up from thewoods be yond the house. Guided by iese Eben stole down amoDg the trees.' nd behind a tangle of grapevines gareda astonish ment at a wonderful siht J On the bank of the little ream stood Bennie, holding a cane fidlf )le and in tently w atching a painted that was floating on the water. Bejid him was MLss Martha, looking over-r shoulder at the same object and 9tes sat on a log beside them, while thivo dogs, and all the ducks and geese arjthickens had come alone, just for rorrAiy, and were amusing themselves near. " There! Now ! Jerk, fnnie, jerk shouted Miss Perry, at-then clapped her hands wildly when !fe hook came ud with the tiniest fiselat ever was caught one would thinjwriggling and flopping upon it Benajfc icream of de light was pleasant to hi ai he exclaim ed, rapturously : I " I did get him ! Ohja't he pretty ? Just see him wriggle !? Eben stole back to tj htuse, snd a: tended to his eveniorwrrk, whistling softly to himself, ans et smiling a lit tle, too. That eveninwhen the " little chap " w3 sleeping ltia dainty white bed, Eben said to Ml Pery that can ning Eben I I " I reckon the littjello ain't much help to ye "bout thejrk, Jarthy. After he's been here a I days more I can change him off for I an' gi ye a bigger one, if ye say so. I "What are ye tin' ab.ut, Eben?" asked Miss 'Perry, ring at nim grimly. I " He ain't no help course but he s not I a goin to be chan off, no you ve got him here. Besides hat doc the work amount to? Taiqy.ks then was a big family to work'r. An' 'm a-gittin' stronger every el I ain'tfelt so able and hefty since p a girl What d'ye think that little Usaid to lay, Eben?" she added, in lef and soft tones. "He said he didn't tfk it was o bad bein' an' orphan, aftftlL Only think of us two makin' aa'phan feel like's if he didn't miss hijather an' mother I I couldn't s beerfore su'prisd if Socra tes had said iti So the weekjent by, andMias Perry's heart warmed I opened he a flower, and Bennie tr growing bswn, with a fine color ias cheeks, is the time drew near fore child to bt returned to the Asylum.s Perry grevreetless and moody, ani nnie caugt her look ing at him sing and anxiaaly that his beart was tiled. "What's I matter?" he asked, sym pathetica!! fne day, smotbing ber cheek with hand. "Is Jiybody go ing to sen ti off to the 'syum V "I don'tjow, child. I Jaink some body 'd bei" she groaned The nf day she saidcasually to Eben: "I wUlri'd hitch up Chrley for me this more, Eben. I'm gtng to drive to tonf Ebenirt was in his tboat "She'fin2 to take th little chap back," he said to himself, but Miss Per ry's next remark set him at rest "You'll have to look after Bennie to day. Put him on the little pony and let htm ri'le around with yon. An' be sure an give him a good dinner, Eben. There's plenty cooked, and some crocks of milk in tbe spring-house. I'll be borne early, I reckon." Aad so Miss IVrry drove away, on some secret missjon of ber own. Dr. Brant, the Chairman of the Board of Asylum Managers, was somewhat startled by .the tall, grim woman, who presented herself without ceremony in his office and looked h;m over through a pair of stony spectacles. When he court eously announced that he was at her service, she said briefly : My brother, Eben Perry, and I took an orphan out o' the Asylum for the seamier. An' now we want to keep lta." j "Ah:" said Dr. Brant, consulting his p Kilts. "Let me see urn Eben Perry f-yes, here it is. Child, Benjamin Bart- l?tt, see 8 years. A cripple. Parents !W1 oth dead. And you want this child, -ou say V "Yes," she responded, her grimness beginning to relax. "We've took a kind of a notion to him. He's a sunshiny little chap, an' the house seems different somehow since he's been in it" "Yes yes let me see," mused Dr. Brant turning the leaves of another book. "Bennie Bartlett Bartiett yes, here it is. Ah, yes, I thought so. This is the child. The fact is, Miss Perry, a distant relative, a great-uncle, I believe, of the child has just been discovered, and he has been interviewed by the Asylum managers, and has signified his willing ness to take the child. Of course, under those circumstances " Miss Perry had risen, and stood there clutching at the back of a chair. Great tears had started to her eyes, and her voice shook when she spoke.

The distant relative, having been found, pretended to want the chiid very much indeed, but was finally persuaded to give him up. And then Miss Perry went to the proper authorities and legally adopted Bennie Bartlett, and after a while she bade Dr. Brant good-bye and drove home, calm and serene, The "little chap" was hers, with no one to dispute the title. Eben came down the path to meet ber, with Bennie on his shoulder. Both their faces were red with romping, and Bennie clapped his hands when he saw her and held out his arms to ber. An' how is my little mascot?" she said, absolutely taking him in her arms and kissing him. Tears were shining in her eyes. Bennie put up both hands and wiped them away.

Lennie followed him out present ly and took one of Eben's big fingers, and patted it reflectively, as he asked : "Uncle Eben, what's a mascot?" "I ain't shore, Bennie," replied Eben, cautiously, "but I b'lieve it's somethin' that brings good luck, an' makes old folks feel young agin, an' sets 'em to playin' ball an friakin' round like young Iambs in the spring sunshine."

American agriculturists will gather enormous incomes from the surplus of their productions that will shipped to the Old World this year and the first part oflS92. In wheat is is estimated that not less than $200,000,000 will be derived in sales of surplus in that cereal to out siders, while in corn, barley, rick, buck' wneai ana potatoes tae income may 1 . , .. ., . reach an equal sum. Shipments of apples have always been heavy to Europe as well as to Asu, and as this crop has been enormous the sales to foreign buyers will be in proportion, and when to this is added the commerce in canned fruits of all kinds, a trade which the American canner monopolizes in all foreign ports, some idea can possibly be formed of the Tastness of American commerce in such soil fruit products. It may not be figur ing too high to place the aggregate of this trade in income to American dealers at fully $600,000,000. To this again must be added trade in meats and fish, pro duced, prepared and packed for ship ment to foreigp porta, which will aggre gate millions of dollars, and which ag gregate when put down in the column showing American sales of food products ill swell the value to from seven to eight hundred millions of dollars.

There is no real use in riches, except it be in the distribution ; the rest is but I conceit era From the Wild West From the Chicago Inter Ocean. A tall, bronzed man, wearing a big gray sombrero and otherwise fairly well clad, stood at the corner of Washington and Dearborn street Saturday afternoon in animated converse. It was A. S. Trade, just in from a hunting trip in the vicinity of Yellowstone Taxk. His audience con sisted of a State Senator and a smatter ing of plain, every day citizens, who were attracted by the eloquent counsel lor's description of his adventures by flood and field, hair-breadth 'scapes, and all that sort of thing. "But after all," said he, "for real game fish give me the cold waters of Northern Wisconsin. I'm going hello, Frank." "How d'ye do," Bold ex-Congreesman Lawler, coming up and shaking hands. Why, what are you doing in town to day ? Why are yon not at the picnic ?" queried the counsellor. "What picnic?" said Frank. "The County Democracy, you know, at Columbia Tark." My friends," said the ex-CongreRsman, as a pained expression roamed over his features, and he produced some cards and handed them around, "you w ill see from this card that I am now in budiueet). Just read it 'The Fianedy Back-water Valve Company, Manufacturers and Pro prietors of the Fianedy Patent Safety Back-water Sewer Valve.' You will see from this," continued the ex-Congress man, sternly, "that I have left politics and gone into the sewer business." "Merely a continuation of tbe old business," suggested Counselor Trude. Then that tired feeling came upon Mr, Lawler again, and goodness knows what would have happened but for the arrival of another retired statesman, Mr. Pat de San, erstwhile of the Second Ward, now of the plumbing business. When he was questioned as to the cause of his absence from the Columbia Paxk jubilee, Mr. de San expressed him self forcibly infregard to the County De mocracy. Beautiful language floated out till the air became so thick that the cable cars stopped and citizens with oiRces on the top floors ef high buildings ceased work to listen to what they thought was the rehearsal of a Wagnerian opera. Counselor Trade was just about to pour oil on the troubled waters by taking up the broken thread of his hunting exper iences, when he espied a reporter sizing up the picnic and fled to his lair. Knowing the lawyer to be a mighty hunter and full of good stories, the scribe trailed him to his office, and was reward ed with the following narrative : "eablt w jclv," said Mr. Trade, "I began p'anninz for my summer trip. The usual supply of tents. Cotfl. camn stove of different nst- terns and suited to tae Variations of the wind, cooking utensils and all that sort of thing, was laid in, and then I began figuring on the party that I would take with me. "We left Chicago early one Monday morning, strong in numbers and fall of confidence. There was my father, my wife, four children and myself. Then, too, there was a young man known to us by the name of Monte Cristo because of his wonderful tales of adventure, who accompanied the party to attend to the culinary department My wife's maid also accompanied us, and to make the party complete I desired to call her Mer cedes, but to that she entered objection and I was forced back to plain 'Bridget.' "At Denver we were joined by a num ber of Iowa friends who had planned to make tbe trip with us. At Salt Lake City we took the new railroad north, and in a comparatively few hours were travel ing alohg the famous Bassett trail through Idaho. We finally pitched our tents on the basks of Shoigun Creek near where it debouches through a rocky pass into Henry Lake. FISH TH4T ACTCALLT ACHE. "From this lake and this stream the hotels in Yellowstone Park procure all their fish. I am not exaggerating in the least when I say that brook and salmon trout in these waters fairly ache to adorn the gridiron. I never saw so many splendid fish, but strange to say, they have none of the game characteristics expected from them. To one who has caught the frisky mcakallonge, the Idaho trout presents no inducements. He is a stupid fellow, fit only to be eaten. Having spent a few days fishing we broke camp, and employing competent guides departed for that country south of the Park where game ia known to abide the year round. "It is with considerable hesitation that I speak the truth about tbe ducks and geese of that country. My reputation for veracity has never been questioned. but I am afraid it will be if I tell thn half of what I saw and did in that coun try among the web-footed birds. Several nights while we were there we were kept awake by the squalling of geese and squeaking of ducks that crowded about our camp, greedily devouring the scraps that had been thrown out by the cook. At times, through sheer desperation, we were forced to drive them away in order that we might obtain a few hours of slumber. I AH SO OKEIDS LIAS, as you might be justified in thinking me. ir 1 tell yoo how at one time a flight of wild geese obscured the light of the sun for five minutes. More than once have I been out for a couple of hours and re turned with at least one hundred and fifty pounds of grouse and ducks strapped to my horse. a - "Are there drawbacks to the country as a hunter's paradise ? Well, yes, there arw ocinau mo greatest, However, IS the number of bandits that make their home in tiiat vicinity. It is absolutely unsafe for a small party to go there look ing for game.

As we were camped just south of the park and near some fine cold springs, it was only nat ural that we caught the game as it came from its place of refuge. "Did you ever hear a true bear storr told? No? Well, I will tell you one that you may folly vouch for without risking your title to a front room in one of the mansions prepared for good men. HE. TRIDB AND BSKB B'aR. "One day about two weeks ago a friend of mine, who shared with me the dis tinction of being a tenderfoot, proposed that the two of us go after bear. I don't know what insane spirit prompted me to accept the proposition, but I did jump at the chance, and alone we sallied forth to chase a bear to its lair and there slay it. "We had not been out from camp more than an hour when we ran onto fresh bear tracks. These we followed mile after mile, gaining encouragement from the fact that we knew we were not rap. idly gaining on his bearship, until sud denly we found them leading into a cave that opened into a small hill. Hop ing that it was a black bear, or that we had been misled and had followed a coyote to its den, we stationed ourselves back about one hundred yards from the mouth of the cave and waited for our prisoner to make its appearance. "Suddenly, without a warning growl, j there appeared at the opening in the hill j silver-tip bear as large as a common sized elephant The animal stood for a saoment with its nose well up in the air, smiling. Light here let me say paren thetically that besides being the fiercest species of bear, and able to carry more lead than any other animal, the silver tip possesses a sense of smell tht is the envy of every bloodhound ia the coun try. "Well, he stood there for just a mo ment without making a sound, and then he growled. When he growled I re linquished every idea of killing him that lingered in my mind, and without gfving time to vain regreU I grasped my rifle firmly in my left hand and made for camp. For about tea minutes I touched grouna, ! ln njs ri.,.a r stopped for breath. Toiling along behind me was my companion, whose face bore a happy sort of a I-have-seen-a-bear-and-eseaped expression. "After another run, ia order to insure safety, we sat down together upon a log and compared notes. We differed only in regard to the size of the bear. I con tended that when on all fours he would not stand more than S feet tall ; my friend asserted that he was ful!y 10 feet in height As he was a little closer to the cave than I when the bear appeared he should have been the better able to ren der an unbiased opinion, so I withdrew and we made a unanimous story to the party at camp. "The silver-tip is a ferocious beast that 1 does not know the primary meaning of fear. He will carry a mine of lead in his physique without' any apparent trouble. There is one in that region that has been shot fifty times, has killed twelve professional hunters, aad seems to grow more frisky every year. I have every reason to believe that it was the same bear that my friend aad I did not kilL "Now, the ordinary hunter would tell about having killed that bearjastas its claws touched his shoulder.

For this rea son, l suppose, many hunters who are ordinarily piou3 wi;l lie like drummers when it comes to telling of their own exploits. I am not of that kind, ho ever, and only tell the truth. After that bear hunt I seemed to have lost my ambition, and in a few days we started home. I am here and am strong and healthy. Mri Trade and the child ren a!so returned home filled with health and good spirits. We will go to Idaho again next summer." Nervous Headache.
