Do not fbrget me, dearest: all day long I think of yoa and wish the time more fleet ; My soul 1 always tinging me sweet song. And thinking of you makes my labor sweet ! Aud if lliedar seem anywise lew bright More vexed with cares than I had dreamed 'twould be, I think with joy of the approaching night. Sweet with the welcome of your love for me. One thought still whUpen sweeter evermore : "Thou thai: behold her hen the day is over." And so I shall: for you will watrh and wait Where tenderly the twilight shadows fall ; Sweet are the roses 'rouud your garden gate. But you are still the sweetest rose of all ! And you are my rose even my very ow n. And to my life your beauty you impart ; Bloom sweetly still-but bloom for me alone. And twlue your tendrils closer round my heart. Dear, I shall s on within your presence b-3. And you are wailing with a kiss lor me ! At'uHt'l Coatlitulttm. JUST AS IV OUGHT TO BE. Florida Fairlie had just reach the in telertnt age. For there is s pe-iod of life at which yourig people become simply unendurable, regarding their capricious fancies as law, and seeming to imagine that anyone over live and-twenty years of age has no right to exist. A nd conse quently, w hen Florida heard that her mother, a gentle, soft voiced little person age of forty, was seriously contemplating a second marriage, every nerve and pulse in her being rose up in protest against the ida. "! don't see," said Florida, "how you can look me in the face." Sirs. Farlie, who was iiot very much older-looking than Florida herself, blush ed and faltered pitiably at these double edged words. uBut, Florida, darling" she begau. "I'm not your darling," said Florida. "If I were you'd never, never think of suchsthisg!" "I)ear Florida, do hear me out?" ' I don't want to hear you out." This school-teaching is such s wearing buisiness for yoa, and "Mother, have you ever heard me com plain ?" "No, dear, but" "And I was to have s raise in my sala ry next quarter and I could have kept you bo nicely," moaned Florida, wring ing the small hands, taper at the fingers and dimpled at the joints, which were yetfctained with the blackberries she had been gathering for dinner. "But you see, Florida, we Lave been obliged to economize 9a severely and we have both beea positively shabby as to our clothes, and I can't tell you, dar ling, how many nights I have Iain awake wondering how on earth we could make both ends meet, and crying " Crying, mother 1" severely echoed Florida. "With me to the fore! Had yoa no more confidence ta me titan that r "Well. Florida," fluttered the poor little woman, "you'rs only s girl, and a delicate one at that. And I never was s good manager and business details flu rry me so. And Mr. Semple is the kindest man in the world, and he says that yoa shall be all the same as an own daughter to him, Florida." Miss Farlie drew herself disdainfully up. "Much obliged to him, I'm sure," said she; "but I don't want to be anybody's 'own daughter.' I've only one dear, dear father, and he lies buried on the banks of the Chattahoochee Hirer and I re member him if no one else does." Florida!" Mrs. Fa;lie ta.d grown pale and begun to tvemUe, and Florida, dreading one of the old heart attacks which had so often impt riled her mother's life, flew to sprinkle eau vie Cologne on her forehead and hold smelling salts to her nostrils, "Florida,'' pleaded Mrs. Farlie, "won't yoa try to reconcile yourself to this ides for my sake ? He is so good and noble, and oh, Florida, give me my handker chief quick 1 Here he comes now." "Horrible old nuisance!" audibly utter ed the beligerent stop-daughter elect. "Oh, Florida, I'm sure he heard yoa !" "Yes," spoke up a pleasant voice, as a hale, middle-aged gentleman of the country-squire type came smiling in; "he heard you, Miss Florida, sure enough. But I didn't bring him into the house. I left him outude." Florida's face hid grown scarlet. "Left ho3i outside?" said stie, with a guilty glance at her mother. "Why, the old mast if, to he iare. He is cross and cjd, gra.nt yoa , but he per sists in alwava allowing at my heels. Of course, he's hardly s parlor ornament, and Mr. Semple laughed heartily. "Why where has the girl gat to ?" "She had something very paniculy to do," fluttered Mrs. Farlie. Mr. Sample shrugged his sbou'dera. "She doesn't like the program ?" "Oh, Gervase, I'm afraid she doesn't." "Well, well," said the stout gentleman, "perhaps that's natural enough. We must try and reconcile her to it. How would she like s husband of her own, eh T" Florida had caught np her sketching materials and rushed off to te hills for during the vacation of the small boar ding school, where she taught music, painting and modern languages, she was endeavoring to rest an 1 recruit all she could. ' "I do think," pondered Florida, with in herself, "that I'm the most wretched girl alive. I thought that my mother, at least, belonged to me, and now I know she doesn't. Well, all I have to do hence forward is to devote myself to art." And Miss Farlie sat down and began to sketch sway in a fine frenzy of despair. "That isn't the best way of treating the Pine Gap," said a quiet voice over ber shoulder. Florida never looked around at the tall, slender young fellow, with an artist's kit, who had paused lo greet her on his wsy down the hill, wit n the sir of an old acquaintance. "I can't help it," said she, petulantly. Mr. Pevere looked at her questioning ly. He took out oat bis camp-chair un folded it and rested himself, "Why, what is the matter ?" said be. "I'm the most miserable girl in the world !" faltered Florida, s mist of tears stealing over her bright brown eyes, a tremolo coming into her voice. "Cant yon trust me. Miss Farlie 7" Now, Florida's acquaintance with this eollaboratenr of the artistic world was of the very slightest. Mrs. Wall is, the head of the "Art Bureau" in New York, had introduced them mentioning casually j V aiMrT wm wsjt ;KyJtisg-af-Aj t chJl. ESTABLISHED 1837. ing tour among the Berkshire hills, and Florida had met him s few times. He was very pleasant and he had giv en her a great many "points" which had been of service to her in her work ; but now, when her heart was so sorv, hii sympathy seemed to bring him still near er to her, and before she knew it she had told him all. "Semple, did yoa say his name was?' "Yes. Isn't it a horrid one? And he's just as horrid himself!" sighed Florida. "I don't think people ought to ever marry again." "Evidently, said Revere, "your mother doesn't agree with you?" "He has made her all sorts of promi ses," said Florida, lugubriously "and she thinks it will be such a nice home for me." "You won't go there to live?" "Never !" "What are yon going to do, then ?" "I don't know," said Florida. "&g my bread from door to door, if it is neces sary. But I dare say I can go on teach ing." "Miss Farlie," said the young man, "yoa have confided in me. May I re turn the mark of esteem ? I've just sold my biggest picture and got orders for two more. Under thesetircumstances, though I am not a rich man, I feel that I can maintain a wife. Will yoa let me take care of you, Miss Farlie? Will yoa marry me?" Florida had let the sketching-board s ip out of her lap on to the daisy-gemmed grass. This was not at all the sort of courtship that she had depicted to her self in her numerous day dreams. Mr. Revere didn't go on his knee, or tear his hair, or behave as if he regarded her as stately, unapproachable goddess, and yet "I don't know," she faltered, sudden ly dropping her eyes in s giddy ac cession of bliss. "IK yoa love me? That is the ques tion." 'Stop s miLUte," said Florida ; "let me think." There was a brief silence. A robin whistled nown by the copse; a yellow belteJ bee kept np a perpetual drone in a drooping flower-cop near by. Mr. Revere 6tood quietly at her side. "Well?" said he at the expiration of sixty seconds by the watch. "Yes," said Florida, still with down cast eyes; "I think I'm almost certain that I do." "My own darling!" He caught her in hi arms. "And I know now," sobbed Florida, "that I've loved yoa ever Bince the day that I first saw you." She was late in returning to the cot tage that afternoon, and Mrs. Farlie was on thesteps waiting to greet her. . "Florida," said the little widow, with an unwonted air ofdechticn, "I've made np my mind." "So have I," declared Florida, half in clined to weep and half to smile. "I shall be married next week," said Mrs. Farlie. "Mr. Semple says I musn't endure this nerve-tension of.your opposi tion any longer." ".Mother," said Florida, "what should you say if I were to marry, too V "Then he has told you?" twitted Mrs. Farlie. "Told me what? Who?" "Why, Mr. Semple dbiut his son, who has just returned from abroad. The most charming young man, who would he aura to suit yoa." Florida colored vividly. "Mother," said she, "how could yon let him insult me so? Docs he think I'm to be married to order, like the Parisian girls ? I hate him more than ever now !" 'He's going to bring him here this evening to call." "I won't see him !" said Florida, the intolerant. 'Florida!" 'Besides, mother," confessed the girl, "there's another gentleman coming here this evening. For although you've treat ed me S3 badly," with a reproachful glance, "I do not mean to take the most important step in life without your con sent, or, at least, your knowledge." "Florida, yoa don't mean " "Yes, I do!" exultantly cried her daughter, "I've promised him to be his wife;atid so Mr. Semple can take his select line of young gentlemen elsewhere and yoa may tell him so, from me." I beg your pardon," said voice ; and all in an instant l- londa 1 ar- lie became aware that, in ber stately re treat from her mothers outstretched hands, she bad very nearly walked over Mr. Semple himself and by Mr. Scru ple's side stood Alan Revere ! "I'm the select line of young gentle men, Miss Florida," said the artist, smil ing. "ion : she gasped. "My son, Miss Farlie," slid Mr. Scra pie, speaking the introductory words, with a flourish of his hand. "You're entirely mistaken," said Flori da. "This young gentleman is Mr. Re vere, and.I've met htm before." "Revere U my art-name," confessed her lover quietly. "My actual nomenclature is Semple. When I returned from Vien na 1 was given to understand that my father was about to contract a second ruarriag?, and, naturally disliking the idea I determined to adhere to the name of Revere and not to retain to the home stead. But now that I know the lady he is to marry is Florida's mother, things are quite different." "He's a tiomp!" said Mr. Semple, clapping his tall son triumphantly on the back. "How is it, Miss Florida will yoa take him or leave him? "I don't think be ought to have de ceived me," sail Florida, "about his name, I mean but, on the whole, I think I'll Uke bini." "Well, now, seeing that that's all set tled," said Mr. Semple (and really Flor ida told herself, he wasn't so disagreea ble, after all !) "why couldn't we make a doable wedding of it?" "Yes, why not V said Mr. Revere, with great promptness ; and Florida couldn't, at that short notice, find s "why noL" "Mother," said she, that evening, in the dusk, as she laid her lips against Mrs. Farlie'ssoft cheek, "can yoa for give me for behaving so badly?" "Darling," said the little widow, "I'm hsriDT enouch to forgive the whole world because yoa are happy, loo." And Florid said lo herself that the whole thing was like a novel "A real nice novel." aid she. To think that I should be Mr. Sem pie's own iLtngblft jgprall TT How a Branch of the Seventh Day Baptists Was Founded. From th. Lancaster Inouirer. About the year 1800, Peter Lehman, a descendent of the Amish of Somerset county, visited Ephrata and there acquir ed s knowledge of the Ephrata church music. Soon after he became pastor of the Seventh Day Baptist Church at Snow Hill, in the southern portion of Franklin county, Pennsylvania, now known as the nunnery. Heat once in troduced the church music there and be gan making arrangements to found a re ligious institution upon the monastical order. At first there were only four in mates, single men and women, who agreed to become members of the socie ty, to work for their board and clothing and to abide by the rules. The number rapidly increased but at no time exceeded forty. The men tilled a large farm and operated a flourishing mill. The women sowed flax, spun flax and wove and made linen and woolen cloth. Implicit obedience was required to all the regulations, both as to the relig ious services and the secular duties cf the institution. The ooservance of the Seventh Day began with services on Fri day evening, and continued all of Satur day, but of course on the First Day, or Sunday, ordinary vocations were pursued. Some of the inmates were exceedingly severe in their devotional exercises, and finally one of tbem, an extremist, be came so radical as to sleep always on a hard bench with a billet of wood for his pillow, ready to be aroused for midnight devotions. He lost his Ufa through too severe punishment of the body in deny ing himself sufficient food to maintain life. The present nunnery building at Snow Hill is really a group of buildings erected at different periods. They were built of brick, low and rambling in appearance, with quaint dormer windows rising out of the roof and surmounted by an an cient belfry. The interior consists of a maze of rooms through which it is al most impossible for a stranger to find his way. The original cloister was built in lSll.the chapel in 1&W, the Brother bouse in 1&13 and the Suiter house in 1S4X There are thirty-three sleeping roorx.s, many of them of narrow and contracted quarters, and nine sitting rooms. In the dining room and chapel the brothers and sisters sat at different tables and in different pews. At twenty minutes before 5 a. m., summer and win ter, the bell cf the cloister summoned all to their morning devotions in the chap el. Interspersed with the secular duties at the nunnery were classes in history, music and theology, to the study of which all applied themselves diligently, under the administration of Teter Leh man as prior or father. The government of the nunnery was patriarchal, with no written rules or regulations. There were no vows of celibacy taken, yet any who married had to leave the cloister, and the unwritten laws in such and kindred matters were as inviolable as those of any monastery in Europe. The music at the nunnery was the most peculiar and beautiful feature of the society. The branches here and at Ephrata had fully a thousand hymns and a different tune to each hymn. It is generally supposed that one of the first collections of manuscript nusic ex ists at the nunnery. Some of the manu scripts are marvels of beauty and artistic penmanship, the result of many years of toil by the inmates, both in this coun try and in Europe. The brilliantly illu minated manuscript would be art treas ures to the antiquarian could access be gained to them. The music as rendered by the trained choir after ten or fifteen years of daily study of the art, was a marvel of beauty and sweetness. It was sung mainly in five parts, viz: Kir, coun ter, tenor, treble, upper bass and lower bass. Some of the brothers and nuns were sufliciently skilled to sing the sixth part The hymns were ail written in a treble tone, or for the female voice. The evening service of song was held in the small, low-roofed chapel, indented in the walls of which are copies in ancient Ger man text of the Lord's Prayer and other inscriptions, now almost obliterate! by the ravages of time. Travelers often came from afar to hear the sweet tones, and as in the monasteries of the old country, wayfarers always found a refuge there. Now al' is changed at Snow Hill. The marks of decay and rain are everywhere apparent about the buildings. Of the monastical society only two aged mem bers remain Obed Snowberger and Eliz abeth Ritter, whose long and peaceful possession of this religious home h as re cently been imperiled by process of law. Of oarse the secular branch of the Snow Hill Society was larger than the monastical, for very few were willing to undergo the lonely life of privation at the nunnery, and the secular members soon spread over all the surrounding cjuntry and became prosperous farmers. They still cling rigidly to the observance of the Seyenth Day, and .pursue their ordinary vocations on Sunday. They built themselves a church on the nun nery farm, and their annual meetings are held there, to which from many miles around they come in large numbers with their families.

Anaconda Suimlard: When Hank Tay lor was put on trial at Strawberry 11:11 for killing Steve Brown he pleaded guil ty, and in a little speech to the crowd he said : " In course youll hang me. I expect it, and shall be disappointed if you don't. But I want it understood that I have rights." "What be them righU, prisoner" que ried Bill Totten, who was acticgas judge. " Waal, I want to be bung with a new rope. I was brought up respectably and I want to die that way. Then I want to wear a biled shirt. I was brung up to wear biled shirts, and I don't want to disgrace the family. I want to be shaved, to have my baircombed and parted in the middle, and I insist on Zeke Cooper lendin' me his new boots. That's my rights, and I shall intUt on Vm." " Prisoner, hain't you just a little too partik'lar V inquired the judge. " Hiin't it putt in' this 'ere camp too a good deal of extra trouble for no real benefit? Whar are we goin' to get a biled shirt, for instance?"' "I dunno, but we hevgot to kev one, Do yoa .'pose I'm goin' to bring up in the other world with this old red shirt on? They wouldn't allow me. to stake a claim or set op a shanty." " IIow are yoa goin' to be shaved when we hain't got no razors in camp? We kin furnisfj yoa some grease and a comb, but thar can't be no shavin'." " Got to be," replied Hank. "I hain't goin' over the divide lookin' like a wolf with his winter fur on. And as fur grease. I want reg'lar bar's ile. I am bound to look just a.-i purty as I kin." " Zeke, will yoa lend him your butes?" asked the judge. " Naw ! I could never feel easy ia 'em agin!" " Then I don't hang !" retorted the prisoner. " Mind you, boys, I hain't de nyin' that I killed Steve, whom every body know was a provokin', cantanker ous cues, and orter been killed long ao, and I hain't kickin' as to what will fol low. I'm jest stickin' out fur my rights. S'posin' any one o' you was goin, to ar rive in the other world as a tenderfoot, wouldn't yoa want to look fairly decent." " That's so, that's so," mused the j adge. " In course it'll be known that you cum from Strawbury Hill, and in course we'll hev a pride in til tin' you out in decent shape. The prisoner will be removed while we hev a talk." We had a talk. We couldn't get a white shirt, a new rope and a razor any where within 100 miles. And, as Hank had observed, Steve Brown was always saying mean things and provoking quar rels and wasn't much account. After discussing the pros and cons, it was de cided lo overlook the offense and let cp on Hank, but, afcei telling him our de cision, the judge said : "But don't do it again. Hank. It are tbe opinyun of some of the boys that yoa were too darned psrticklar about the biled shirt, and of others that you were right about wantin' to make a decent ap pearance on the other shore, and so we decided to call it sqaar. Next time, however, we'll Lang yoa with a mule rope and in yer old duds and let ye run all the chances." " Wall, boys, fix it to suit yourselves and it'll suit me," carelessly replied the prisoner, and court was a.ij urned and we returned to work. Touched in a Tender Place. On one occasion a distinguished Ken tuckian senator or congressmen, as the case may be, witnessed the burning of a big warehouse in his native village. He was viewing the conflagration from the piazza of a residence in the vicinity, and a small friend of bis would rush do n and back at intervals bringing him fres.li news of the fire. "Oh, colonel," exclaimed the excited boy, after one trip, "there's SiO.OOO bush els of wheat burning." "Let it burn, my boy," responded the colonel, grandly, as be swept his band over the landscape, "we can raise more wheat nex year." The boy ran off and came back breath lees. "Oh colonel," he exclaimed, "there's 100,000 pounds of hemp burning." "Let it burn, my boy," said the col onel, waving his band as before "we can raise plenty more hemp next year.' "Again the boy departed and returned. "Ob, coionel," he exclaimed, "there's 2-V) barrel's of 10-year-old whisky burn ing." Up jumped the colonel. "Good Lord," he shouted, "can't some thing be done to save il ? We can't raise 'iQ barrels of 10-year-old whisky next near," and he went after the boy. fro Free V. rother. "If I could only see my mother!" Again and again was that yearning cry repeated.

It was not pleasant to die thus, i i thi-shaking, plunging ship; bat he seemed not to mind bodily discomfort. His eyes looked faraway, and ever and anon be broke forth in that grieving cry : "If I could only see my mother !" An old sailor sat by, a Bible in bis hand from which he was reading. He bent over the young man and asked him why he was so anxious to see his mother whom be had so willingly left. "Oh, that is the reason !" be cried in anguish. "I've nearly broken ber heart, and I cant die in peace. She was a good mother to me oh, so gxnl ! She bore everything from her wild boy, and once she said to me : 'My son, when yoa come to die yoa will remember this !" " "Oh, if I could only see my mother!" He never saw bis moth ex. He died with yearning upon his lips, as many a one has died who slighted the mother who loved him. Stand A secret and a cook are very much alike. Mrs. Guile m In what way.

The Sanitarium was only completed last yea-, and so it poAscsBe every mod ern advantage in point of construction and sinitary and bathing arrangements. Such an institution as this is something for the locality and State to be proud of. It is quite isolated Irom any town. There are a lew cottages fcittered along the hillside at a distance from tbe Sanita rium ; ill tl-e is the same as the haud of Nature has left it. A tuoantain stream flows musically by aiuonj the, rounded stocts at the foot cf the hill. The spring like f jliage grows by the banks of the stream, and a park -like forest of primeval monsters- anciect hemlock, walnuts, oaks and pines covers the glades and moun tain side. The vale in which the San itarium is situated is so winding that winds caunot penetrate it, however the storms may rage on the mountain to s. Both air and water are pure and nudedied. The pure mountain springs supply drink ing water, while for those who prefer its me.i:.-.U..d nronertira there is a mineral spring, the water containing sulphur and ! -ri - i i r I iron.

Everything is clean as can be, anil the delicious fruit and food are especially appreciated by those who have got tired of city hotels, for this ia good home cooking, the best of everything and plenty of it. The class of people here are the kind one Las pleasure aud confidence in nieet :n. No gam! lers or drunkards, and intoxicatin: liquors are not put before the giists at table. The cooking is such taut ij wiue or liquors of any kind are 1 1 desired. On the contrary, the French style cf cooking is such as to make a demand far a ine to complete a dinner, The air here s-enis to incline to restful- nss, and consequent refreshment aft-r sleep. Every morninz family prayers are held in the drawing-room, where most f f the g'letU assemble. It seems most appropriate that Jaiiy thanks should be given for such blessinipj as are here er joyed, for nothing is lacking to make life healthful, comfortable and en joyable. The rooms all have a pleasant outlook on forest, stream and mountain. Many of them have a bath-room attached. There are a! 8icial bathing facilities, including Turkish, Russian, electric and needlehaths, the restorative and refresh ing properties of which are very wonder ful upon those who suffer from sleep lessness or who are exhausted with life in cities or from overwork. One wonders a hete the invalids are about the San itarium. There w no consuur.pti .-e couching heard anywhere, and every body seerni to h ivj a good time walking in the beautiful forests, driving over the tuouutain road.j, playing tennis, or lisLint in the trout stream. Ir. Gauit, the experienced physician for many years connected with the Sanita rium at Clifton Spring, has now per manently located himself here. He is of the old (allopathic) school, bat np to the times in all modern and improved methods; also having a thorough knowl edge cf hydropathy. His wife-, Mrs. Dr. Ganit, is a homu-opathic physician. E very body here seems to take a friend ly regard and intertst in everybody else, each one trying to be agreeable to every one eise ; llitreiore there is an absence cf these fa. ail ai,d unchristian jealousies so j common at places a here Foa'.e u.ate efforts tooa'shine the rest by changing drttses and j 'Welry f jur or live times a day.
