Tin Morning, nnd the Mays are Loup.
I li.ul a dream of ot her (lays:
In golden luxury sliono the whoat,
In tangled groonness shook tlio nuiizoj
1 ho fHiinclH ran with nimtilo foot,
Ami in wnd out unions the trens
Tho Iftng hinl darted like u llaino,
Tho catbird piped her melodies,
Purloining every wiirliler's lame:
And thn I heard tho triumphal song,
"Tin morning, and the days aro long."
They scattered roue?, M rowed tho palms,
And shouted down tho pleasant vales;
I heard a thoiiHand happy psalms,
And laughing, wove a thousand tales
Of mimio revelry and joyj .
They mocking, well tho worldly great
Each timlaeed girl and barefoot hoy,
Dear simpers ol my early lato
And then again tho yKolian song,
" 'Tin morning, nnd tlio days aro long."
Far winding past tho storied town,
Tho rlvor ran through bosky groves,
Its floods wo sailed our essels down,
Full freighted with a myriad loves;
Outmuls wont floating to tho iales,
With scarlet leaves and abends ot bark,
Wo named them out tors, schooners, sails,
And watched them lado in shadowy dark
Then down tho water flowed the song,
" 'Tia morning, and the duys are long."
Oh! morning, whon the days are long,
And youth and innocence are wed,
And every grovo is full of song,
And every pathway void of dread j
Who rightly ings its rightlul praise,
Or rightly dream it o'er nguin,
When cold and narrow aro tho days, '
Aiid shrunken all tho hopes of men,
He shall reawaken with his song.
" Tis morning, and the days are long."
There palpitations wild and swoet,
The thrills of many an old delight,
And dimpled bands that lightly meet,
. And hearts that tremble to unite,
Arise upon tho rosy morn,
Pass down tho lovely vMes and stand,
A picture ol a memory born,
The mirage ol u lotus land
A land whore once wo trolled the song,
" TU morning, and the days ato long."
B. H. Parker, the Indiana poet.
ONLY FIFTEEN.
That was a
murk of Mr. V.
rather cruel, unfeeling re
trie to his I'aughtej- hai'u
or Sarah as slie now wished to he called
because, '' at least, she wasn't a baby.''
" No, sis, vou're neither a little girl lio
a woman; but just between hay and grasi-
as one may hsv.
Sarah gave an extra push to her alre.vh
well lied buck niiislm overskirt, and slarle
for school with a smoldering spark in he
eve. ' '
" It's true what father suvs," she solilo
nui.ul as she walked along. "I'm too oh
to warmy dresses short, and too young to
wenXhcni long; too old to let my hair g
loose and coin fort able, and too young for
friz'.es, pull's and coils. And as tho cows
in tho-siiring, when liny is gone and grass
not well erow-ti, have to put up with odds
and ends, so 1 have to take all Hat's and
Jen's cast-oil' dresses and hats; or if there
is anvthing awfully unleeoniing to them 1
get that, whether I like it or not. Then
in the work, what I have is just what
everybody else hates to do, like washing
the llishes and cleaning the lamps just
what nobody gets credit for, either, only
blame for not doing well
l!y this time this ambitious girl of ours
had readied tne scliool-lioii.-e ; inn the
teacher' had an engagement, so the card at
tached to the door-handle told the scholars,
Sarah started at once to retrace her steps ;
for it was a two-mile walk, with only here
and there a lew old apple trees to shield
her from the sun's glare.
As she walked her thoughts reverted to
the morning's con veiJ ion, partly, perhips,
because the scent ol the new-mown hay
. greeted her. Like any girl of her age it
struck her as a queer, backward sort of
comparison to speak of childhood aa the
time of hay.
" Oh, yes 1" she exclaimed, aloud as a
m thought struck her ; " I see how it is!'' and
she at once resolved to write the coming
week's composition on that very subject.
" I'll say," she soliloquized, that child
hood is cared for by the general love of
father and mother. That's the hay, you
seel But, at last, the youth goes out into
the world and gathers love for himself.
And I shall give it a moral turn; for,
somehow, I think young people ouht not
to be selfish, even if I am so but ought to
gather love byMoving."
"What is the use of talking, though?
If I really wanted to be useful, 1 couldn't.
tpfr ho'd ask me to sit up and watch with
sick people, for instance? I couldn't even
keep awake all night. I wish I could be
sure I'd be the right sort of woman, and
then, seems to me, it might 1ms beautiful to
be wrickled or gray ; -for, by that time one
is sure of one's self."
" Then she sudtlenly stepped down from her
mount of moral enthusiasm a feat, alas!
so easily accomplished, so hard to acconnt
for often.
" Before I get to be good and gray I'd
like some nice times and soldo nice things.
This muslin overskirt and waist are pretty
enough and, for once, new, but why
what!"
feihe sprang quickly out of the road in
sudden terror, lor she thought a loose horse
was plung-lng furiously down the road be
hind her. Bhe had not scrambled half way
un the steep bank before he carue in sight,
but to her relief he was not riderless.
Siinire Wait's boy reined him in with
difficulty, just within view, and turning in
his saddle, shouted at the top of his voice,
evidently to some one in a neighboring
. field
"If Doctor Ainslie ain't to home, what'll
I do?''
Sarah could not hear the reply; but the
boy appeared satisfied, for he quickly set
tled himself iu the saddle, applied the whip
to the horse, and was out of sight in an in
stant. Sarah hurried up the bank and looked
over the stone on its top. At no great dis
tance she saw a man lying on the ground,
and three others standing by him. In a
moment she saw who it was, and as she ran
toward the group she guessed the truth.
which was that 'Squire Wait himself had
received at the hands of one of his blunder
ing workmen a severe cut in the leg from a
scythe while mowing.
The bright -arterial blood was pouring
from the wound, a death-like pallor, had
overspread the sufferer's face, and his eyes
were already half-closed.
Sarah whisked the muslin overskirt over
her head like a flash.
" Help me tear a broad bandage out of
this I" she cried.
The men were dull-looking, plodding
laborers, but one of them seemed encouraged
by her air of determination, and in a mo
ment from the back of the skirl a breadth
was torn. Without any words Sarah tied a
strong knot in this breadth. lhen she
stooped down, and with one great heart-
sinking, tue cry of the flesh against the
spirit, she lifted the rent garment from the
gaping wound to see just, where it was;
then she pressed the knot just above the
wound with all her strength.
" John,' said she, steadily, " tie thu band
age under the leg, and one of you others go
as quick as you can for a stout, short
stick."
The blood, already affected in its flow by
her pressure, oozed more slowly from the
wound. The stick was brought in a trice,
and slipped under the bandage where John
had tied it in a " hard knot."
" Now, John," Baid Sarah, calmly, "twist
the stick till you tighten the bandage so
that the blood shall stop altogether."
By the tune this was done, poor Mrs.
Wait, trembling and terrified, arrived on
the scene with a little old-fashioned pocket
battle of smelling salts, and i cruet ot
vinegar wherewith to bathe her husband's
head. These restoratives answered well
enough till the doctor arrived.'
You're a right sensible girl, said the
doctor, when he heard what Sarah had
lone. "Any one ol yon fellows con
tinued be. " could have stonned the blood.
or mostly have stopjed it, by pressing the
limb above the wound with your lingers
till help could be got."
rcxt morning, Sarah slopped at the
souire'a gate to learn how he was. John
was spreading hay in a held close by, and
he came out to the road to speak to her,
1 say," he said, contemplating her
Jiiilit form with genuine admiration,
"such a little creeter as you be te ha ben
to knowin' and smart ! Why, you can t be
mor n fourteen or fifteen at the outside."
" Only fifteen ' answered barah, with a
ourcr smite. "Just between nay ana
grass.
"I never did see the beat J" responded
John, "llow'dyou know so well what to
dew? that's what I'd like to know !"
" Oh ! I learned it at school," answered
arah. with a little air ot patronage ami
humility combined. " You f.ee, John, the
blood that conies straight from the heart is
briirht red. and conies in jets ns the heart
beats; didn't vou notice that?"
"Yes! ves! I see his life was beatin
:iwav. but nothin' wo could dew wouldn't
suit him ; and, in fact, there didn't seem to
be not bin' we could dew. '
Well." continued she -finding his wan-
dering thoughts had coule home again
"when the blood comes that way and is
bright red like that,yon must dosomething
at once. You must put your lorce on a
knot as I did. between the wound and the
heart. And. while a knotted bandage is
getting ready, you ought to hold the limb
un as Inch as vou can. lhat will checK
the blood. I forcotth.it at the time."
"I never did see the beat!'' answered
John, bis limited vocabulary allowing no
more- elegant phraseology in which to ex
press bis wonder and esteem.
Sarah was moving on when John called
after her.
" Say, sis, it's a shame ! but those
num-
hpndu went to work and tore that nootv
muslin thing of yours all to pieces, think
in' 'cause Toil naked for one bandage you'd
want twenty more. Miss's Wait was dret-
ful sorry. Said if there had been enough
left for an apron 'twouldn't a ben so bad."
Sarah laughed and went on, smoothing
down a dusty alpaca overskirt an old one
of .b'm'V s cut down
A tew days after, the Earle family were
all in the kitchen at supper, when there
came a knock at tho front door. She re
turned directly w ith a package in her hand,
readinc on the outside wrapper in a rather
diseusted tone as she walked in:
" To the little girl who learns her lesson
at school so well."
" Susie, ot course," said barah, with a
lofty air; for llattio had looked at her,
while Susie was aged six.
" I don't know why it mayn't mean you,
too," retorted Hattie. "It looks like
Squire Waite's hand, though a little shaky."
Sarah had half a mind not to take the
proffered bundle. As she took off the news
paper wrapper she saw a note,slipped under
the string of a brown paper parcel from
city store, as was evident by tho ;ndver
tiscment. The note was directed to " Miss
Sarah Esrle," and read as follows:
Dear Sarah : I was dreadful sorry you
lost your overskirt and the squire was, too,
and said you shouiun t lose noimng Dy it.
So I went to the city, and went round and
round tilf I was tired to deth, and my head
was all of a daze, linerlly I went into
the niceft looking store and the one recom
mended the highest, and was showed to the
iirojier clerk for such things, and says to
him in a despairing way. I expect: " Show
me the genteelest, handsome and most soot
able dress for a young lady of fifteen years."
lie askt d was you dark or bland ?
Says I, "Middling, with a rosy cheek
and a bright eye, and such a look as you
might gess a girl to have that tore her bran
new overskirt all to bits to stop my hus
band from bleeding to death. ' I can tell
you folks near by was interested to hear all
about it ; and one gentleman giv me the
book you find inclosed, with his respects,
The end of it all was, that the head one of
the store came up and sold me the dress

don't like it, and likew ise put in the piece
of muslin lor a school overskirt, as near
li He yours as I could see, free,
With my earnest hopes that you will be
as good a woman as girl, I remain, you?
humble servant, M. E- Wait.
Sarah had read the note aloud at the
eager request of the family ; but it had been
hard work for her, and she now burst into
tears and was running off without even
looking at her treasures, when her father
called out, cheerily:
"Come, Sadie, let's see what the squire's
wife bought for you I I allers thought she
was a close woman and guess it's a pink
calico.''
"How can you, father?" asked Sarah, in
dignantly. But she did dry hev ej es, never
theless. There was a chorus of "oil's I" nnd
"splendid!" when a piece of silvery sum
mer silk was unrolled.
"Enough," said Hattie, "for a whole
suit; and you deserve it, Sadie; and I'm
real clad of it."
That s organdy muslin and very nice,
remarked Jenny, as the muslin came into
view.
The book proved to be a pocket edition
of Whittier. She said softly, as she took it
in her hand : " That's the best of all, be
cause I can keep it always.''
on tne ny leai was written :
Miss Sarah Earie,

duct. John Brewster.
It was from one she never knew, nor was
ever likely to see; yet it was all the more
delightful to think that, to one person in
the world, she would always seem " nooie.
Her soul thrilled at the thought.
As she rose to carry away her precious
bundles her father spoke far more gently
than was his wont :

it without thought of reward." Wuit

Unsuccessful People.
The Dercentace of ceonle who are un
successful, in the wordly sense of the
word, is a very large one. Often God
snatches away, by His providence,
through no apparent fault or failure of
theirs, the fruit of men's labors when
it is just dropping, ripened, into their
hands. Other men come into life hope
lessly destitute of the knack " lor tret-
ting ahead at anything. The farmer who
thinks he is making a good bargain when
every one else sees that it is a bad one;
the schooiteacner wno does not know
how to win the confidence or inspire the
enthusiasm of her pupils ; the minister
whose "ways" repel people when he
takes the most pains to win their good
will 6ueh persons are found every
where. They do the best they know
how, but they don't succeed. And since
it is an experience that is divinely as
signed to so many, we must conclude
that the ministry of poverty and defeat
is often better for us than any wordly
success could be. " Blessed are they who
make money or achieve prominence,"
did not find a place in the Beatitudes
does not, in fact, sound much like them.

TIMELY TOPICS.
A gigantic engineering scheme is that
ofM.deSainte Anne to bridge the En
glish channel. As proposed by him the
bridge would be About twenty-two
miles long. It would rest on at least 175
immense stone piers, built to a height
of nearly one hundred and fifty fee
above the sea level.the piers in the deep
est portion of the channel extending
nearly two hundred feet below the sur
face of the water. The cost is estimated
at 300,000,000 francs.
The Mammoth cave in Kentucky has
been purchased by a company of East
ern capitalists for $200,000. The interior
will be illuminated with electric light,
and telegraph wires will afford com
munication Detween allparts of the cave
and the outer world. The walks will be
improved, new boats will be launched
on the subterranean river, and a restau
rant will be opened in one of tlie cham
bers seven miles from the entrance. The
railroad from Glasgow junction to the
cave will be completed.
It is generally belioved that a large
outlay of capital and considerable engin
eering skill would be required to create
an island sea on the African continent.
After several exploratioffs. however. Mr
Donald Mackenzie boldly asserts that by
piercing a sand-bar three hundred yards
long and thirty feet deep, an artificial
sea may be created in the Sahara desert,
covering sixty thousand square miles.
Communication once established with
the ocean, he thinks the in-rush of water
would create a navigable channel. The
interior sea would occupy the great
basin of the El J oof. a depression of the
western part of the desert, two hundred
feet in depth below the level of the ocean.
In the South the number of small cot
ton factories is increasing rapidly, espe
cially in Georgia and boutli Carolina.
They are mainly run by water power in
neighborhoods where there ..is a small
population which would have no other
employment during- certain seasons of
the year. It has been found that colored
boys and girls are quite dexterous at the
spindle, and that where the little mills
are located there is much more peace and
order than in hamlets where there is no
industrial attractions for the idle. The
cotton is near at hand, the running power
is cheap, the workmen are attracted by
tho novelty and by the opportunity to
labor under sheltering roofs, the warps
command a ready market and the profits,
relieved of much of the expense of heavy
freight, are lar irom inconsiderable;

The Early Use of Veils.
A newspaper writer gives the follow
ing information about the early use of
bells : It is evident that the earliest use
of bells in churches was to summon the
congregation ; but superstition soop en
listed them into her service, it then
became customary at their consecration
to pray that they might be endowed
with power to drive away fiends and
dissipate thunder 6torms, hail and
tempests. In the opinion of those who
originated the practice the evil spirits
were the cause ot tout weather, and. be
ing terrified at the saintly sound of the
bells, they precipitately fled. In parish
accounts of the fifteenth century bread
cheese and beer are charged for the re
freshmentof the ringers during "thun
derings." So late as 1852 the Bishop of
Malta ordered all the church bells to be
rung for an hour to allay a gale. After
the discovery had been made of the
potency of bells in terrifying spirits
they were naturally employed in all the
matters in which fiends were reputed to
interfere. It was the weapon with which
St. Anthony loucht the legion ot de
mons who tormented him during his
long hermitical life, and in the figures
which were drawn of him during th
middle aces he is represented as carrv
ing a bell in his hand, or suspended from
his stan. Ihe passing bell, which was
formerly tolled for those who weie dy
ing or passing out of the world, as well
as the peal which was rung after their
death, grew out of the belief that devils
troubled the expiring patient, and lay
in wait to afflict the soul at the moment
when it escaped from the body, ard oc
casionally even to battle for it with
guardian angels.
The Bishop of Chalons christened a
pealot oellsin 1822,and in a sermon which
he delivered on the occasion said ;
"The bells placed like sentinels on the
towers watch over us, and turn away
from us the temptations of the enemy of
our salvation, as well as storms and
tempests. They speak and pray for ui
in our troubles; they inform heaven of
the necessity of earth." " If this be
true," says a writer, " there is more vir
ture in the clapper of a bell than in the
tongue of a priest."
The first actual fire bell was hung in
the church of Sherborne, Kngland, in
1052 It had upon it tlio following in
scription :
" Lord, quench this furious flume;
Arise, run, help put out tho sumo."
t'AKH, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD
Approved Modes of Budding;.
Budding differs Irom ordinary graft
ing, as most farmers understand, notthe
least in its nature or effects. Each bud
is a distinct individuaf capable of be
coming a tree under favorable circum
stances. In grafting, a branch com
posed of several buds is employed with
considerable quantity ot barK and
wood, while in budding but a single
bud with a small quantity of the ad
joining bark and wood is used.
romologists are now giving the pref
erence to budding in the majority of
cases first, becauso of the great rapid
ity with which it may be accomplished ;
second, the more convenient season at
which it is done ; third, the fact that the
operation can be performed without in
juring the stock jn case ot a failure,
which is always more or less liable in
stocks headed down for grafting; fourth,
the opportunity which it affords, when
performed in good season, oi repeating
the trial on the same stock. To these
several advantages may be added, bud
ding is preferred for all stone-fruits,
such as peaches and apricots, which re
quire extra skill in grafting but which
are budded with ease.
The season for budding fruit trees ex
tends from the 1st of July until about
the 1st of October. Such as cease to
grow early in the season must 'ie budded
early, as soon as mature buds can bo ob
tained, because it can only be done while
the stocks are in a free, growing state,
lull of sap. Such as grow until late in
the autumn must be budded later. The
common sort of plums terminate their
?;rowtb early in the season and are there
ore budded early, whether with plums,
peaches or apricots. The Canada plum
and the cherry plum grow freely until
fall and may be budded much later.
The different trees come into season as
follows: Piums, cherries, apricots on
plums, pears, apples, quinces, nectarines.
and peaches, in snort, perform tne
operation of - budding only when the
bark of the stock parts or separates
freely from the wood and when the
buds of the year's growth are some
what plump and the young wood is
growing firm.
The implements required are a prun
ing knife to remove any branches on the
stock that may be in the way of insert
ing the bud, and a budding-knife, very
thin, smooth and keen-edged, to take off
the buds and make the incisions in the
stock. In selecting buds a convenient
way is to choose thrifty shoots that have
nearly done growing and prepare what
is called a stick of buds by cutting off a
few of the imperfect buds at the lower
end and such as may yet be too soft a'
.1 - J 1 F 1 . 1
me upper ena, leaving oniy smooin,
well-developed single buds, double buds
being fruit buds. The form of a wood
bud is always long rather than round.
In the case of peaches there are some
times triple buds, the center one of
which is a wood bud.
Shield or T-budding is one approved
mode. A variety of this method, recom
mended by Downing and practiced by
many horticulturists, is as follows : Hav
ing ready a stick of buds and soft woolen
yarn or strands of bass matting, moist
ened in water to make them pliable for
tying tho buds, choose a smooth portion
of the stock. When the latter is small,
other things being equal, let the buds be
inserted near the ground, also on the
north side of the stock, as less exposed to
the sun. A rule observed by many is:
" In free stocks place the bud within
three or four inches of the ground ; all
dwarf Blocks bud close to the surface of
the ground." Rapid, late-growing ten
der varieties, liable to be winter-killed
in some latitudes if budded near the
ground, should be budded sufficiently
high to avoid injury, but as a general
thing low budding makes tue best trees
Having decided on the place, make an
upright incision in the bark from an inch
to an inch and a half long and at the top
of this make a cross-cut 6o that the
who'e shall forma T. From the stick
of buds, with the buddm&-knile, cut a
thin. Bmooth slice of wood and bark con
tuining a bud. With the rounded end of

The Finest Hospital in the World.
A onui rin a its charter from King George
and being favored by State grants as well
as private contributions, tne jncw lork
Hospital is secure against any indebted

street near Union square is probably the
finest in the world. " If you have seen
the New York, our place will not seem
impressive to you, said Dr. Horatio
Pniue. of the Roosevelt Hospital, tons.

design has embodied in tho building not
only every appliance ior saiety ana com
fort known but also a degree of luxury
and beauty above any mere utility. For
heat and ventilation the methods em
ployed aro novel and ingenious. Fresh
air ot any temperature required is him in
duced into all parts of the building by a
fan-blower in the basement. Suction
power for carrying off vitiated air i
placed in the highest peak of the root
and a constant circulation is effected,
without perceptible draught by air es
capes in tlie ceilings and under each bed.
Chilling downward draughts from tho
windows are met ny upward currents oi
warm air from perforated window-sills.
The heating is done by steam, and in ad
dition to the Croton, water is obtained
from an artesian well. All the kitchens
and laundries are in the uppermost stories
above the wards, and two elevators run
from basement to attic. The only wood
work used is in the doors nnd windows ;
the floors are made of tiles laid in cement
on iron girders and the wainscoting is
marble. Any vain or extravagant rencii
ing after splendor is disavowed by tho
management, but it is certain that the
New York Hospital eclipses all its con
geners. ,
The building is seven stories high
with a mansard roof and has accommo
dations for about two hundred patients
with nurses and other employees. Stone,
iron and red brick are prominent materi
als in the facade, the many windows of
which look out upon ornamental iron
balconies. In the interior even such de
tails as the tiles and gas fixtures are ar
tistic, nnd the sunlight streams in every
where. Near the roof is a largo hall,
separated from the sky only by a trans
lucent canopy of glass. This is the Sol
arium. Plants and flowers bloom in it
and fountains bubble with liquid music:
in the pale green depths of fresh and
salt water aquaria strange and beautiful
fish are seen, and on miniaturo islands
of cork, turtles are airing themselves or.
basking in the spray of the fountains.
Tho Solarium is always pretty and
warm, and it is a feature that might well
be introduced into all hospitals. The
kitchen and laundry on the upper floors
are provided with all the modern im
provements of a hotel, and the washing,
rinsing, wringing and mangling are all
done by steam. The cots are of iron and
fitted with adjustable bars by which the
occupants can change their positions
without help. Each cot is also provided
with an electric tube by which tho pa
tient can summon the nurse, whose pri
vate sitting and sleeping-room is at one
endof the ward. In the dining-rooms
the table linen is snow-white and the
service is silver-plate. At each end of
each ward theie are lavatories with hot
and cold water and bath-rooms, all the
patients being required to bathe once a
week unless they are excused by the
house surgeon. On the lower floors of
tho building there are two theaters, one
for operating and the other for autop
sies, each being tilled with every appli
ance for tho purposes that science has
devised. The charge for board is seven
dollars a week; few cases are treated
gratuitously, and private patients are
charged from ten to forty dollars a week.
