SUMMER CHANGES,

Out of ti heart of my garden close,

Sang the red rose, and sang the white:

Laugh at the flowers, and kiss each one,
And great bees come with their sloepy

To sip the honey and circle round,
And the flower are lulled by that drowsy

And fall asleep in the heart of the noon.
A small white cloud In a sky of blue,
Rose and lilies, what will they dot
For a wind springs up and sings la the

Down comes the rain the garden's awake,
Roses and lilies begin to quake,

Ah, roses and lilies 1 each delicate petal
The wind and the rain with fear unsettle;

But the wind goes by, and tho rain stop soon,
And smiles again the face of tbe noon.
And the flower are glad in the sun's

But the tree are old, and I fancy they

Each unto each, how the summer flies; .

TILE STOLEN RING.
"I've brought homo the young lady's
bonnet, miss, please," said little Rachel.
"Oh, it' the milliner's apprentice, is
it t" said Green, the parlor-girl. "Just
itep into the hall, and wait a minute.
Miss Madison's own maid will bo down
directly. We're having quite a stute of
things up stairs," Green added, bustling
around to fasten up a woolly white poo
dle which had contrived to snap tho
links of his golden chain. "Miss Madi
on has had a diamond ring stole And
they've sent for a detective gentleman,
and Miss Madison's uncle. from Wall
street. And missus has had hysterics,
and tho doctor is there giving her drops;
and the cook says, up aud down, she
won't stay in no fumily where the help is
suspected 1"
"Dear, dearl" said little Rachel, open:
Ing her blue eyes as round as two mar
bles. And as Green hurried away, in answer
to a shrill summons from above, she
looked timidly around her.
Bbe was always pleased to bo sent to
the Madison house. It was her ideal of
Aladdin's palace of tho beautiful man
lion wherein dwelt the heroines of song
and atory.
When she described it to the little ones
at home, after her day's work was over,
they could scarcely credit its splendors.
There was a circular hall, with a railed
gallery, extending around tne second
itory, and a dome of white and amber
glass overhead, and a great bronze statue
&I sonio tabled warrior kept guard on
horseback in tho middle of the marble
Boor.
There was a deep fireplace, lined with
thina tilts, whero a fire of scented logs
blazed on tall firo-dogs of polished brass;
deep, plush easy-chairs were drawn up
beside it. and a pair of monster .latum
rases, which reached up to Rachel's shoul
der, were always full, whether tho Febru
ary snows carpeted the outside world, or
the March winds shook the easements, of
delicious, half-blown roses, with long
Items, and satiny, shiny leaves.
For the life of her she would not have
dared to go up aud smoll of them, or to
touch their perfumed petals; but she
itood afar off and breathed iu their sweet
ness, and looked at their tints of pearl
and pink like a humble worshiper of the
beautiful. '
"Miss Madison has a new paroquet,"
the thought. "I never saw that little
beauty ia the gold cago before."
Adrienne, the French maid, came hur
rying down directly a tall, bold-looking
wung woman, with a jaunty cap perched
n the midst of her black braids, tind loons
of cherry ribbon on her white muslin
apron, She had au absent expression on
her face, and looked ut littlo Rachel as if
her mind was preoccupied with some
thing else, and she did not see her.
It's the reception-bonnet, miss,
please," expluined Rachel, with a cour
tesy. "Oh, the bonnet!" said Adrienne.
"You work-people are always coming at
the wrong time. Oh, yes, I dare say it is
all right 1 But," with a sudden, smiling
assumption of interest, "you ure wet.
It ruiua end you will take cold. Take
off, your tbawl, and come to the tire and
dry yourself."
"Oh, no, ma'am thanks!" s:iid little
Rachel, reaching out for the shawl which
Adri 'ime had officiously removed, aud
resisting her efforts to lead her to the
tire. ''It don't ruin; it ouly mist a
ty.tkj."
"Rut it does ruin," sharply spoke
Adrienne, giving the girl's laded Bkirt a
thuke as she spoke. '-Don't you see the
dropst Well," with

"I was to return as soon as possible,
ma am," said little llachel, rather em
barrassed by all this extra attention.
"If Miss Madison was suited "
Adrienne caught up the bandbox,
which Rachel had held all the time, and
whirling around on her heel, ran up
stairs into the reception-apartment,
where Miss Madison herself stood, sur
rounded by a group of people.
Miss Madison was a tall, blonde-com-plexioned
young lady, with clear, hazel
eyes, a well-rounded chin, and the air of
one who definitely comprehended her
rights and meant to assert them. Her
mother, an irresolute, elderly lady, looked
feebly from her daughter to the police
man in plain clothes, who stood deferen
tially before them, and then back again.
"Well, if the house is to be senrched,
it had best be done promptly, I suppose,"
said Miss Madison. Tell your man to pro
ceed at once, Mr. Jones."
"But, my dearCorisande, do consider 1"
twittered Mrs. Madison. "Some of our
maids are so very superior I The idea of
ransacking their trunks, as if they were
common burglars 1"
"If they are innocent of stealing my
diamond ring they won't care," said Cori
sande, indifferently, "If they are guilty,
they deserve all the obloquy which can
descend upon them."
"Just here tho French maid glided up

"but it occurs to me that I have a now

last Wednesday. Mademoiselle has not
seen her ring since."
Corisande knitted her brows.
"To be surer' said she. "But you
don t suppose that she has taken it?"
Adrienne drooped her eyelashes.
" I would venture to make no accu&a

.Little Kachel came up, much
ing. She was startled when Adrienne
volubly explained to her the business
upon wmch she was summoned, but con
sented at once to the search.
" Why shouldn't If" said she. simply.
"I have nothiner to be afraid of."
She turned her dress-pocket inside
out. A little, much-worn leather purse
appeared an elevated railway ticket a
scrap of poetry, cut from some news
paper, fell out and then a diamond
ring, with one glittering fascet of fire,
set in its plain circlet of gold, flashed
suddenly upon their eyes I
"Hal" said Adrienne, pouncing upon
it, as some raven might pounce on its
prey. "Mademoiselle can see for her
self I Ah, wretch I perfldous thief !"
And she shook Rachel by the shoulder
with one hand, as she held up the ring
with the other.
Rachel had turned as pale as ashes.
"I think I must be dreaming!" said
she. "I never saw tho ring before in all
my lifer'
"Come, come," said tho detective,
"that sort ofMhing won't go down. I'm
afraid you're i old hand at the busi
ness, for all yovlook to young and inno
cent."
Of course Rachel was arraigned be
fore the court, but Corisande Madison
refused to appear for the prosecution,
"The matter has gone far enough,"
she sa'd. "The girl is not a hardened
thief. She stole the ring in a moment
of temptation. She has suffered suffi
ciently. I don't believe she will ever of
fend in this way again."
So little Rachel was discharged with a
reprimand from the magistrate
But it was like clipping the wings of a
wild-bird and then bidding it fly away
into Ireedom once more,
The fashionable milliner who had em
ployed the girl would have nothing more
to say to her. No one wanted her ser
vices. And on the few occasions when
there seemed a prospect of getting re
munerative worn, the horizon was over
clouded at once when the question of
references came up.
No one wanted a thief about their
premises I
One person, however, believed in little
Rachel still her stepmother, a hard
working woman, who let lodgings and
did up line laces and old ladies' caps for
a livelihood.
"There is some jugglery about this
business,", suid she. "My husband's
daughter never was a thief!"
It was in the bleak winter-time when
Adrienne Moncontour engaged the one
attic bedroom that Mrs. llollcy still had
to let.
Adrienne had left Miss Madison's ser
vice some weeks before. She could not
agree with the new housekeeper, who
loudly declared that the French maid
had once been employed as a waitress in
a gambling suloon in Paris.
Perhaps there was some truth in this,
for certain it was J hat Adrienno had an
unconquerable mania for cards, and at a
genteel gambling place, frequented by
haggish old women aud sage young ones,
she lost ail her little savings, and crept
into Mrs. llolley's back attic bed-room,
us she supposed, to die.
"I'm ufraid she's a bud lot," said Mrs.
Holley; "but I wouldn't let even a cat
die iu my house, without a little care.
Ruclmel, you may make her a little beef
tea, uud I'll spare her a wing oif the fowl
for her dinner."
Aud the mother and stepdaughter to
gether nursed Adrienne back to some
thing like strength.
"I dou't see why you've done it," said
Adrienne, harshly. "I'm nothing to
you."
"We try to be kind to every one who
needs kindness," said Rachel, gently.
"I can't pay you even the rent of this
wretched hole!" groaned Adrienne.
"We didn't suppose, me and mother,
that you could," said Rachel, simply.
"But that don't signify."
"Seel" cried Adnenne, with ievensh
eagerness, "I heard you down stairs
yesterday. Since you cut tho stove-pipe
hole to let tbe heat como up to warm my
poor bones, the sound comes up also.

Rachel crimsoned.
"Because I did not wish to link his
fortunes with those of one who has been
called a thief," said she, in a low voice.
"iou have saved my life I" said the
Frenchwoman, excitedly. "Do you
think I will let you break your heart!

I saw you standing there so innocent, tho
Evil One entered into me. I slipped the
ring into your pocket; I allowed you to
be arrested as a thief. I have never had
a lucky moment since."
She went to Miss Madison as soon as
she was able to walk, and made a formal
statement to this effect.
"Arrest me, if you please," said she.
But Miss Madison could only pity her
ghastly pallor and skeleton frame.
"No !" she said. "You have already
suffered more than I can inflict upon you
by any legal justice."
And little Rachel married the ship
carpenter, and was happy, And among
her wedding gifts was a pretty set of
parlor furniture from Miss Madison.
"As a token of respect and esteem,"
said the heiress. Ilelen Forrett Grave.

Freeh favored the rott-Journal office
with a friendly visit. He was a citizen
of Memphis before, probably, any other
German now living here, set foot on
these bluffs, and he entertains some very
interesting reminiscences of those days
when the southern boundaries of the city
were at Poplar street and the county site
at Raleigh. One incident especially de
serves to be recalled on account of its in
herent humor a lynching in which
some of our most respected Germans, now
gray-headed men, took a prominent part.
At ihat time about forty years ago
Memphis did not enjoy a great reputa
tion for peace and quietness. Murders
were frequent; punishments few and far
between; in one word, the situation was
such as to hold out every inducement to
Judge Lynch. v
One day another most brutal murder
occured. A Main street merchant was
shot and killed in front of his own
door, where he was quietly sitting be
side his wife. Tho murderer had been
caught and lodged in the county jail at
Raleigh. The bloody deed caused uni
versal indignation, especially among the
Germans of that day, who soon reached
the conclusion to take the law in their
own hands. Accordingly they met, pro
cured a rope, and boldly marched to Ra
leigh, where nobody had an inkling of
their coming. lhey completely sur-
prised the jailer and could have forced '

persuasion, following the line of aigu- j
ment that resistance would be useless. .
This argument seemed to have the de
sired effect, for though reluctantly, the
jailer threw open the doors, saying:
"Well, boys, if you must have 'iui, go
in and get 'ira."
They poured in; but no sooner had the
last one crossed the threshold than the
heavy iron door swung back, and dis
playing a sarcastic smile, the jailor
turned and drew the key. At the same
time the court-house bell sounded the
alarm. Tho brave avengers were trapped,
and immediately had more important
business on hand than lynching their fel
low prisoner, namely, to beg off. In
this emergency they sent for Captain
Freeh, who hastened to the relief of his
countrymen. He did not think it pru
dent to give bonds for all of them, but
he succeeded in having them tried on the
spot. They were convicted and lined one
cent each and cost, which the captain
paid for all of them. This was the first
and last German lynching in Memphis.

Some years ago a detachment of United
States artillery was stationed at Hot
Springs, Ark., to protect the public prop
erty the supremo court having decided
that the springs belonged to the United
States. One day one of the detachment
fell ill and was ordered by the surgeon to
"take a hot bath and drink the water,"
meaning the sulphur spring water. He
went to one of the bath houses, where a
bath was prepared for him, and he was
left to enjoy the luxury. After the usual
time had elapsed the attendant went in
to see how he was getting along. He
found the soldier sitting on the edge of

attendant asked him how he was getting
along. The soldier replied: "Pretty
well. I enjoyed the bath. But," he ad

be dogged if 1 drink all that water, not
even if they put me in the guard-house
for it."

Curing; It of Smoking.
Jones P. Wiloughrib is a wag, who has
incurred the cumity of a great many
Bloomington people by the perpetration
of his heartless jokes. The other day he
rushed into Doctor Coffin P. Graves'
office, flushed and excited, and asked
him:
"Doc, does smoking ever kill any
body?" "Often, sir, quite often." Wilough
rib turned white and bit his lips, and
hastily said:
"Is it possible to cure one, who is very
bad with smoking? Can you save it?"
"Why, yes."
"Well, come down to my house just
as quick as you can get there. There
is a chronic smoker down there, which
has turned black in tho face and looks
as if there was not a bit of life in it.
Make all haste, Doc, for heaven's sake.
It is lying on our kitchen floor with its
pipe, and smoking, as dumb as a log.
It is impossible to rouse it, and the
fumes are almost killing the family. It

The Davd Boy.
Say, what is this I hear about your
j pa and tne new minister quarreling"
suid the groceryman to the bad boy, as
j he showed up at his usual hour.
I "Well, it was partly true, but it was
all a joke," said the bad boy, as he
looked out the door to see if his parent
was in the vicinity. "You see, it was
a new minister that came nere to ex
change works with our preacher. You
know when they exchange works it is
as good as a vacation, 'cause both min
isters can preach au old sermon that
has been laying around and got moth
eaten. The next day after the visiting
preacher preached he came to our house
to stay a day or two, at ma's invitu
tion. Pa hasn't been feeling very wll
lately, and ma said he wanted some ex
citement, and I thought of anoldsto .'r
I read once about some students at i
theological seminary making two pift '
son believe that each other was deaf and I
how they talked loud to each other, and
1 thought if such a joke was all right in a
college where they turned out young
preachers, it would do at our 'house, so
I told ma she better tell pa to talk loud
enough, or the preacher couldn't hear
him. You see I didn't lie, but ma went
and told pa the minister was deaf as a
post and he would have to yell bloody
murder to make him hear. I don't think
it was right for ma to say that, 'cause I
didn't tell her the minister was deaf, but
pa said he hadn't spoken at ward
caucuses for nothing, and he would
make the preacher hear or talk the top
of his head off. I brought the minister's
satchel over from the house where ha
had been stopping, and he came along
with me, and I asked him how his voice
was, and he said it was all right, and I
told him he would have use for it if he
talked with pa much. He asked me if
pa was deaf, but I wouldn't lie, and all
I said was if the minister would yell as
loud as he did when he got excited
in preaching, pa would hear the
most of what he said. Oh, he said
he guessed he wouldn't have any
trouble making pa hear. Well, I
ushered him in the parlor, and they
shook hands and I skipped up stairs, just
as pa swelled out his' chest and took a
long breath and shouted 'Glad to see
you 1' Well, you'd a dide. It seemed as
though his voice would knock the new
minister's ear off, but the minister braced
himself, inflated bis lungs, and shouted,
'The happiness is mutual, I assure you,'
and then they both coughed, 'cause I
guess it strained their lungs some. Ma
was leaning over the banisters, and when
pa would roar at the minister, ma would
laugh, and when the minister would roar
back at pa, I would laugh. Pa seemed
to think the minister talked loud, and
the minister thought the same, and they
was a having it pretty loud, you bet.
They talked about relidgin, and politics,
and everything, and pa mopped his
bald head with his handkerchief, and
tho minister got red in the face;
and finally pa told the minister
he neod not yell loud enough to
loosen the shingles, as he wasn't deaf,
and the minister said he wasn't deaf, and
pa needn't yell like a maniac, and then
pa, said he was another, and he minis
ter said pa was a worldly minofed son of
Belial, and then ma she see it wostime
to stop it, and she went down stairsofei a
hop, skip and jump, and told them both
that there was a mistake, and that nobody
was deaf, and then the minister said he
understood from pa's little boy that his
pa was hard of hearing, and pa sent for
me, but I was scarce. Don't you think a
boy shows good sense, sometimes, in not
being very plenty around when they
yearn for him? Sometimes I am nu
merous, and then again I am about as
few as any of the boys. Well, there was
no harm done, but pa and the minister
have their opinion of each other." Peck's

Some very curious and funny letters
are received at the dead letter office.
The outside of some is more unique than
the inside. The following are the ad
dresses on the envelopes of several which
have found their way to the dead-letter
office. They show the poetical bent of
the writers:
"Fly little messenger, quick and straight,
To Humboldt county of Iowa State!
Fly, little messenger, and seek with care
For Miss Annie Fahey, you'll find her there."
Unfortunately there was no stamp on
it, and the matter-of-fact P. M. hustled
it off to the dead-letter office.
A trusting parent writes on the envel
ope of his letter:
"Please send this letter to my son,
who drives a team of red oxen, and the
railroad runs through his place."
Another envelope has:
"Bummer's letter, send it ahead,
Dead broke and nary a red :
Postmaster, put this letter through, -'
And when I get paid I'll pay you."
Another envelope has this address:
"James Irwin. Try all over the State."
Still another address is:
"B. A. Kenyon, P. M., III."
A would-be housekeeper puts on the
envelope :
"P. M. Please forward to the phy
sician who was looking for a housekeeper
in St. Louis last week ; is a widower with
two children; don't know his name."
This is no doubt an answer to an ad-
did not get it
v.uuu .j
Another envelope has :
"To General W. Knowles this letter is sent,
To the town of Brighton where the other one
went.
No matter who wrote it a friend or a foe
To the BUte of New York I hope it will go."
But it went to the dead letter office
instead.
Another envelope has :
"Hello! Uncle Bam ; let me go In your mail,
As I've taken a notion to ride on a rail
To Illinois ISutto, and there let me atop.
And in McLean county just please let me
drop ;
In Leltoy P. O. there let me lay,
Until Keason K. Gay takes me away."
But the P. M.'s reply just below says:
"Played out, my dear boy,
There is no use in talking,
1 f you can't pay your way
You'll have to try walking."
One who was careful to pay postage
wrote:

ILLUSIONS.
When youth's Illusion vanish with the ps
We mis our Infant measure of the
A single footstep fords th shallow tide
Of yon small brook we thought wo deep anal

The endles meadow endless roll do more,
It sheeted daisies have their bound and ahoya
We seek the hilltop once our highest goej.
And sigh to find it but a common knoll.

How tall the clover when we were not tall.

Diminishing with man' increase of days.
Tis thus that from the daybreak of his youth
Insensibly he finds the path of truth.

. Treatment of Dog-Bites.
Mr. T. M. Dolan, the author of a stand
datd work on hydrophobia, has drawn up
1 the following simple remedies lor tbe im
I mediate treatment of dog-bites: "The
1 bite of a healthy dog cannot cause hydro
phobia. This is a well-established fact.
As it is difficult to determine the stato oi
! health of a dog at the time he bites, tha
! wound should be treated as if the dog
were rabid. Dog-bites should be treated
at once by the person bitten or by a by
stander, by sucking the wound if possi-

to encourage bleeding; by hot water fo-
mentation; by free washing with cold
water; by ligature, a piece of string tied
' between wound and heart. After bleed
. ing has been encouraged and tho wound
has been well washed apply hot iron as
a heated penknife, small key, etc. caus
, tics, pure nitric, sulphuric or hydrochloric
acid, nitrate of silver, acetic acid, carbolio
acid, ammonia, salt, or piece of hot cin
der. If near a chemist's the person bit
ten should run there, keeping his mouth
applied to tho wound, if possible, and
spitting out the blood extracted. If neat
a medical man's house, run there at once.
If in a part where the person bitten can
not apply his mouth, some bystandei
should suck the wound no harm can fol
low from thus lending assistance. Tha
dog inflicting the bite ahuuld be kept un
der observation for at least fourteen days.
It will soon be seen whether it is healthy
or not. It healthy, there is no fear of f u-
turo development of hydrophobia. If
the person bitten experiences shooting

body, three or four Turkish baths should
