Over th chimney the night wind sang, And chanted a mnlody no one knew; And the woman stopped and her babn she tossed, And thought of tho ono she had long since lost, And said, as her teardrops back she forcod, "I hate the wind In the chimney." Over the chimney the night wind sang And chanted a melody no one know, And the children mid. as they cloeer drew, " 'Tis some witch that Is cleaving the black night through, 'Tis a fairy trunipot that just then blew, And we fear the wind in the chimney." Over the chimney the night wind sang, And chanted a melody no one knew; And the man, as he sat on his hearth bolow, Said to himself: "It will surely snow, And fuel is dear and wsgos low, And I'll atop tho leak in the chimney." Over tho chimney the night wind sang, And clmntod a melody no ono knew; But the pout listened and smiled, for he AVos man and woman and child, all threo, And said: "It is God's own harmony. This wind wo hear In the chimney." Urrt Harte. THE MW TEACHER. "A Yankeo school teacher, ch?" said Johnny Bligh. "You'll see how soon we'll pitch him out of doors! I Mow Western men is cood enough for us !" "John, don't talk so," said his step mother, a nigu-siiouiucrca, 1 reck led woman, with watery bluo eyes and a chronic drawl. But she smiled as sho said it, and a lninuto or so later tho boy heard her telling a neighbor who had "stcnucd in" to borrow a postage stamp and a sheet 01 paper, "wnat a lino spirit our Johnny has." 'I guess likely you behave yourself, Jack," said Gilbert, tho big brother, who was mending harness out in the shed, when John began to air his boasts out there, "or else you'll get a first-class thrashing when you como back." "We don't want no Yanks foolin' round here." said John, sullenly. "Our folks was Yanks aforo they was westerners," sago'y observed Gilbert. "All the same, though, I wish Joo Hol ley'd got the place instead o' this Rhode Island follow. Joe's a good neighbor, and he's got a right smart o' book learniu'." "Oil," said John, leaning both elbows on the shed window, "why don't you go in for schooliu'i" "licckon I've got enough to pass in a crowd," said Gilbert, boring a series of notes in a cuecs: strap. "No great, thcuyh" retorted John. "You can read and you can write and that's about all." "I've always had something else to think of when decstrick school was open," said Gilbert, composedly. "Times has becu brisk since father died. But we've pretty nie;h squared up tho work now, and if this Yank is protty middlin' smart, I may take a turn at my books some time in the winter. I've always thought 1 should like to see Into what they call geometry. Joe Hollcy cau't teach that I" "No mora can tho Yank, I don't reckon," said disaffected John. Evidently his thoories and those of tho new teacher samo into active conflict, for tho uext day, tho first of the school quartor, ho camo blubbering homo at noon. "Teacher's took nwuy my books, nnd won t let mo liov' my dinner-basket ;" said he., "And I'm hun-n-n-gry !" "Tho poor crceturl" whined Mrs. Bligh, instinctively cutting a gigantic wedgo of pumpkin pie, and looking arounu ior tuo cueceo. "Don't stop or that now, mother," said Oilbert, setting his teeth together. "Como with mo, Johu. We'll look into this business." Never was milo moro rapidly traversed thau that expanso of dreary pines and sere grass that lay botween tho distri-t school house and the Bligh farm. John, running with all his breathless might, could scarcely keep pace with his brother's long, swinging strides. Gilbert's face was elarkj his eyes sparkled ominously. John glanced at him now and then with scarcely subduod awe. "Gil's proper mad," he said to himself. "And when Oil's mad it means suthiu'." Arrived at the littlo red brick build ing at the cross roads, Bligh pushed tho door opeu aud strode fiercely in. "Now, then," said ho, "what's this about bullying littlo Jack Bliirhi I'll know the reason of it, or I'll - --" Ho stopped abruptly. Instead of tho tall, ungainly Yankee whom he had ex pected to see behind tho dusk, a trim, pretty young girl, with jet-black hair and u complexion liko a ripe peach, roso from the pedagogical chair. "Well," said she, composedly, "what is wanting? Do you know, young man, that it is the custom in civili.ed coun tries to knock at tho door before you como in? Children," to tho littlo Hock, who, with one accord, had raised their heads, "all this does not in tho least concern you. Mind your lessons. John Bligh, take your scat." "I won't:" blustered Johnny, em boldened by tho presence of his tall brother. "Gimme my dinner basket. Lemme havo my books." "I wai.t to know," began Gilbert Bligh, "what right you have " Miss Hoot "limaia Abigail Boot," it was in the school certiticato raised a warning lingor. "Silencoi" sho said. "Leave this room at once! 1 will not havo my dis cipline interfered with!" "1 won't!" again bawled the bollig erent Johnny. Tho children held their breath. Miss Itoot took in tho situation ut once, and briskly seizing the young rebel by the coat-collar, walked him into the bouk-c'.oset aud turned the key in the door. Gilbert advanced to jvscuo him, but whilo ho stood chivalrously unwilling to lay violent hands on a woman, ,jiss lioot turned upon him and to.jk him by tho wrist, as if ho had been a child. 'Did you hear 1110 to 1 you to go:" said she; and put him "out at tho door without further ceremony. A thrill ran through tho littlo audience. Tl;o si'hool-ina'din Inid triumphed over la-vlo.-s Johnny Bligh, and afterward concjueie l iiia big brother. llor rulo was thoroughly established now; there would be no further fear of revolt. Calmly Miss Hoot returned to the littlo wooden platform upon which stood bcr chair and desk. "Now, Feter Dorscy," said sho, "you may givo mo tho boundaries of South Carolina over again." And businoss wont on just as it had dono before. "By Gcorgo!" muttered Gilbert Bligh, outsido, "ain't sho a plucky littlo thing! Well, I supposo I may as well go home. I reckon Jnck will have to work out his own salvation, for all of me. How thore black eyes did snap, though I" To Gilbert's infinlto amazement somewhat to his discomfiture when ho camo in at night from a horseback ride to tho six-milo distant postollico, ho found Miss Boot sitting at tho domestic fireside. "Gil," snid Mrs. Bligh, uneasily, "here's tho school-ma'am come to board out her week. It was Widow Dunn's week by rights, but they've got the dumb-agcr over there, and Mowed they'd ruthor she'd come hero first. School-ma'am, this is my eldest son or least ways my husband's son. I never had none o' my own, but I set a deal o' store by Glbert and John." Gilbort Bligh bowed rather awkwardly- Miss Boot roso up and dropped a dainty littlo courtesy, liko a slim young hael-bush swayed by tho wind. "I hopo you don't bear malice," said she, half-smiling, while a soft pink flush rose to her check. "You see, it was ab solutely necessary for mo to enforce dis cipline, and really you were sailing un der piratical colors now, wore you not?"' "I was altogether wrong," said Gil bert, reddening also, . "I beg your par don 1" "Which John has already done," said Miss Boot, resuming her seat and hor Knitting work. ".Johns not n bad rel low, after all, when onco you appeal to his reason and common sense We shall got along capitally after this." "lie hadn't no business to sass the f choolma'am," said Mrs. Bligh, who was bustling around to get out the best china ior tea. "alia sarved nun right when she shet him up in tho pantry where tho slates an' tho big dictionary was kcp'. And he won't do it again; if ho does, he'll got a good latherin' to hum, that I can tell him!" John, who was roasting red apples in tne not ashes, chuckled, lie knew well, from long experience, that his step mother's bark was many degrees worse than her bite. "Mo and tho schoolma'am are good friends now," said he. "I .axed pardon afore all the boys, and sho promised to lend mo '.Masterraau Beady' to read ni ter I'm dono my sums at night. And, Gil, bIio knows geometry and them things like a book. And sho says she'll show you without your go in' to school and 8ettiu' among the boys that is littler than you be." Onco more Gilbert colored, but Miss Hoot knitted quietly on. "I shall be glad to boot use," said sho. "I wonder where you learned all this !" remarked the young man awkwardly. "I am a graduate of Tassel College, in Khode Island," said Miss Boot. "They lay special stress on mathematics there." Gilbert sat u-owu, staring moodily at tho tiro. Here was ho, a strong, muscu lar giant, six feet high, aud broad shouldered to correspond there she sat, round, rosy and dimpled, a mere dot of a woman, yet how much more sho knew than he did I "She must despise mo," ho thought, uneasily tugging at his rich brown mus tache. "She can't holp it! Such a dumb-head as I must seom to her. Yet how pretty and soft-spoken sho is." Foor (iilbert! Ho was very wretched that night, becauso Miss Boot know geometry and he did not. Yet what a vague happiness it was to oe under tne samo rool with her! if Gilbert had only known it, he was falling in love with Emma Boot. Tho school-ma'am stayed two weeks at the Bligh farm, because the Widow Dunn's "nger" stubbornly held on; and toward tho end of her sojourn, there camo out one of those terrific rainstorms that sometimes sweep the Western slopes. "I'm going to hitch up old Sorrel aud go after Miss Boot," said Gilbert, at noon. "The Bed Bridge fouudations are pretty nigh washed away, and I'll havo to bring her around by Fiuey Point." "I Mow it's a good idcar," said Mrs Bligh, scratching her head with a knit ting needle. "I'm glad you thought on't it." But cither he had miscalculated old Sorrel's rnto of speed over the muddy roads, or elso the family clock was wrong; for wheu ho reached the red school-house, it was closed and looked and Miss Boot wns gone. He drovo at railroad rate to overtake her, but just on tho edgo of tho river ho saw that he was too late. The flimsy timbers of tho bride had given way beneath her weight, aud she was struggling in the black waters ! "tiilbert oh, Gilbert savo mo!" Through tho rush of the swollen stream, tho roaring of tho wind, her frenzied cry reached his ears. He Dung olf his heavy boots, his clinging coat, and jumped into the river. Aud ns ho did so, an odd fancy eddied across his brain. Geometry was of no use hero. Mathe matics could be of no avail. It was a man's strength, an expert's skill, a hero's heart that counted now! Yes, ho was her ccjual more than her equal at last ! "Is sho dead; Emma? For heaven's sake, speakl" "Dead!" rumbled old Abraham Gay lor. "No more'n you be. Look ut tho color comiu' back into her lips. But I say, though, it was a narrow squeeze of it, one time. That current's powerful strong, aud the bridge timbers was sweeping dowu on yo like a thousaud o' brick. It's a good thing you knowod how to swim like nu otter, Oil Bligli. Yes, you'ro safe at home! I brung ye both back wrapped iu all the blankets my ole woman had. That's your own firelight you'ro stariu' at" "After all, it was only a drenching, a fright aud a chill," said Gilbert, that dusk, as they sat by the tire, when Mrs. Bligh had gone out to feed tho late brood of chickens, and Johnny was in the shed trying to build a ship that should be liko the one described in "Mastorman Keady's" fascinating pages. Emilia shuddered. "I have beeu rescued from the very verge of tho grave," said sho; "and by you, Gilbort. Gilbort!" looking wist fully up into his faco. "Well!" "Will will you teach mo to swim? You nro so strong, so noble, and I am so weak and ignorant. Oh, Gilbert, after this you wilt be my princo among men !" "Kmma, my love, my darling 1" That was how it happened. Tbcro was no formal proposal nor acceptance only those words only a lover's kiss, a shy girl's joyful nestling to the side of him whom she had regarded ashcr heart's master; and so tlicy were engaged. The people of bed Hollow expressed themselves diflorently on tho subject. "Gilbert Bligh hasn't no book-larnin'," said Sijuire Peters; "nnd this young wo man's a gradooato of Tassel College. Don't sco how she came to fancy him." "That don't signify," said Widow Dunn. "He's mortal smart, and owns a good patch o' land right on tho farmin' llats; but I only hopo they'll live happy together. If 1 was a man, I wouldn't dare to marry a gal that had put me outer tho sdiool-'us. Sho must hev a temper." But neither Gilbert nor Emma had any misgivings and, after all, they were the chief persons concerned. Saturday AiyAt. Licorice Culture Largo quantities of licorice are annu ally imported into tho United States, and there is no doubt that tho soil and climate of Florida aro well suited to its production. But there aro many other crops more likely to engage the atten tion of cultivators of the soil at present. Still, it is well to learn something of this. Licorico is propagated liko horse radish by means of root slips, which are rcmovod from tho main root, Tho soil must bo we!l fertilized nnd thoroughly broken to the depttt of three feet to attain the best results. This great depth is necessary to encourage the roots" to grow downward to escape the intenso heat not only of oue but several hot sum mers, as it takes three or four years to protect tho roots for market, during which time tho plant must receive con stant and careful cultivutiou with the prong hoo. If weakened and checked in growth by insuiiicient preparation of tho soil, waut of manure or careless culture, tho plants are liablo to the attack of the red spider, to their serious if not fatal injury. Lay oil the rows two feet opart, and, after cutting tho root slips into sections of live or six inches, plant them in vertical holes made with a dibbie six teen inches apart, observing to thrust them several inches below tho surface and cover them. As tho growing season closes each autumn, and the leaves turn yellow, the stems should be cut down and removed, and a liberal coating of manure given ns a top dressing. Apply well-decayed barnyard mauure composed with rich hammock (top) soil. if tho plants nave been well caret! for the roots may bo large enough in three years to harvest for market, though four years is not uncommon. Harvesting is unite a tedious job, and on account of the depth two or three feet has to bo dono with a spade. Wheu dug the sido roots, used for propagation, are cut olT and tho main roots aro washed, dried, and tied in con venient sized bundles. Florida Agri culturist. Amphibious Youngsters at Aden. As six sturdy Arab boatmen rowed tis ashore, writes Thomas Stevens to the New York World from Aden, Arabia, there came swarming about our larger craft a tleet of tiny cockle-shell boats. These boats are little bigger than the half-shell of the annual prize pumpkin nt Topeka or Indianapolis, ana each is paddled by a slim young Somali boy, who sits iu tho bottom. These young sters are tho famous divers of Aden, who gain a livohood by diving for coins tossed into the sea by steamship passen gers curious to witness their perform ances. Toss asixpeuco carelessly into the sea, and as it touches tho water "flop, flop, flop" go from threo to a dozen of these diiuinutivo divers head foremost after it. Before you ccn count six they nro ba' k into their boats, the lucky one grinning a broad grin as he displays the coin preparatory to stowing it away in his check. These youths teem strangely liko hu man fro. s, built chiefly of arms and legs, as they flop into the water and clamber with astonishing case back into their tiny cralt. Everybody wonders why the sharks, which aro numerous here, don't gobblo up theso daring young amphibians. Oue of them would just about make a good mouthful for a Bed Sea shark. Strango to say, they are never molested. A ono legged Somali of forty or sc is pointed out to the tour ist on tho streets as a former diver and a victim of Mr. Shark's voracity, but ho is the only case of tho kiud known to tho city. Some say tho boys are too tpuick for tho sharks, and that tho latter, hav ing found it out years ago, no longor pay any attention to them. Others as sert that, like tho crocodiles and the buf faloes of the Indus, tho Somuli boys and tho sharks get along so well togother that they actually fraternize at times, and that the former have been known to dive under a shark and pat him fa miliarly on tho stomach. However nil this may be, the littlo black fellows aro quite fearless, ami accidents from sharks are singularly rare. Paper Powder. At tho lloyal Powder Factory, in Bel gium, a new gunpowder is being made. They call it poudrepupier, or paper powder, and it is said that 11 charge of two uud ouo-hulf grammes (thirty-niuo grains) gives, iu a rii'e of small calibre, an initial velocity of 0U0 yards to the ball. This is equal to, if it does not beat, tho l.ebel powder. The additional advantages are attributed to it of not smearing tho barrel, of produciug no smoke aud of causing uo recoil.

' That cool rain water and soda will remove machine grease from washable fabrics. That ripo tomatoes will reinovo ink and other stains from white cloth, also from the hands. That a tablespoonful of turpentine boiled with white clothes will aid in the whitening process. That boiled starch is much improved by the addition of a little sperm salt or gum arabic dissolved. That kerosene will soften boots and and shoes that have been hardened by water and render them pliable as new. That salt will curdle new milk; hence in preparing milk porridge, gravies, etc., the salt should not bo added until tho dish is prepared. That clear boiling water will remove tea stains aud many fruit stains. Pour the water through the stain, nnd thus luevent it spreading over the fabric. That kerosene will make tin tea-kettles as bright as new. Saturate a woolen rng and rub with it. It will also remove stains from varnished furniture That blue ointment and kcroseno mixed iu equal proportions and applied to tho bedsteads is an unfailing bedbug remedy, as a coat of whitewash is for tho walls of a log-house. That beeswax and salt will make rusty flatirons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie a lump of wax in a rag and keep it for that purpose.

SPANISH-AMERICAN "FUN," A BULL FIGHT BEFORE TITS PRESI DENT OF SANTO DOMINGO. Tortnrlnsc " Enraged Animal for the Pleasure or the Populnce A Matador's Mishap. Arriving at the bull ring, says a writer in the New York Herald in an account of a bull fight in Santo Domingo, we found the fun had already begun, tho sombra, or fifty cent seats, were filled with soldiers, sailors, artisans in short, the people; tho palcos, or boxes, were all occupied by the gentry, foreigners and merchants. In tho chief box was Presi dent Hereoux, or, as he likes to be called, "Lili." t Tho first glimpno at tho ring w ust like tho first look at a freshly opened raisin box. There they were, the four traditional Spaniards, in pigtails, round caps, kneo breeches, braided jackets and crimson shawls, teaning an unfortunate bull. After some pretty narrow escapes from the vicious lunges of the homed brute, theso four gave way to two picadors, each armed with a pair of steel shod rolls, not unlike closed Japanese parasols wrapped with ribbons a la barber pole. The bull went forward to welcome them with lowered horns and tail in air. Ono handsome young Andalusian stood erect and perfectly motionless, with both darts h.cld high above his head, until the bull's horns were apparenly within six inches of his chest. Then," with the rapidity of lightning, he plunged his two parasols into tho mad dened brute's neck, just nbaft of his horns, and sprang to ono side, where ho lighted a cigar and watched with non chalance the bull chasing his (up to this time) innocent companion around the ring. Before the circuit wns mado his bullship was still further adorned with two more flaunting barber poles in his neck. The picadors then retired amid deaf ening plaudits and the matador, a dapper little chap armed with a thin, short sword and bristling with gold lace, strolled into the ring. By this time the bull was mad clear through, thero was no one else in the ring, nnd one would have thought thero was plenty of room for the two, but tho bull acted as if he felt crowded. The Spaniard unwound a red silk scarf from his waist and shook it at the bull, who, of course chsrged him. Failing to puncture the man he did tho next best thine he captured the scarf. Iu the Spaniard's effort to regain tho fcarf, his feet slipped and he fell on his knees, witli the bull two feet behind him. Everybody except the natives and foreign womeu turned their heads away, but the only ripping dono was on the Spaniard's breeeches. One horn had caught him iu these and ripped through to waistband. The man landed full length on his face in the sand, where he lay for a minute with tho angry bull standing over mm, waiting for another chance at his fallen foe, but tho banderilleros and tho pica dors were soon in tho ring, and by the use of their red flags and voices drew the bull's attention, and tho "killer" arose bv far the coolest man in sight. The rent in his unmentionables and his soiled velvet iacket might and proba bly did annoy him somewhat.but if he felt any timidity about being lett aiocewitn the bull again he didn't show it; on tho contrary, he waved tho men out of tho ring and advanced to tho centre with his sword in ono hand and scarf iu the other. When he saw his chance he allowed '. scarf to gently drop over tho bull's hc:u. and stepping one pace to the rear plunged his sword into the tawny hido, and with out a second look at the bull to seo the tho effect of his thrust, walked forward to tho ring side bowing his acknowledg ments of the vociferous applause. Canes, Panama hats, fans, parasols and coins fell at his feet, ana ono enthusiastic na tive tried to throw my hat into the riug, and ho would had ho been a little strong er in his arms. All theso articles were passed up to their owners except the coin, wmcn must nave looicu up a hundred dollars or moro. There was at least one gold piece picked up iu front of the Executive box. No attention had been paid tho bull, but he was thero all the time with the sword through his heart. On receiving his death blow he had reclod forward a few steps, aroppeu on his knees and fallen over ueaa witn out losing a drop of blood except from the banderillos iu his neck. A pair of mules wero brought in, the carcass dragged off, tho band struck up "La I'aloma," and 1 had seen all tho bull fighting necessary for tho remainder of this life.

Three, only throe, my darling, ' Separate, solemn, slow; Not like the swift and joyous ones We used to know, When we kissed because we loved each other, Pimply to taste love's sweet, And lavished our kisses as summer Lavishes heats; But as they kiss whose hearts aro wrung When hope and fear are spent. And nothing i left to give except A sacrament! First of the three, my darling, Is sacred unto pain ; We have hurt each other often, We shall again. When we pine because we miss each other, And do not understand How tho written words are so much colder . Than eye and hand. . I kiss thee, dear, for all such pain Which we may give or take; Buried, forgiven, before It comes, For our love'6 sake. Tho second kis, my darling, Is full of joy's sweet thrill; We have blessed each other always, We always will. We shall reach until wo foot oach other5, Past all of time and space; We shall listen till we hear each other In every place. The earth is full of messengers Which love sends to and fro; I kiss thee, darling, for ell joy Which we shall know! The last kiss, O my darling! My love I cannot see Through my tears, as I remember What it might bo. We may die and never see each other, Die with no time to givo Any sign that our hearts are faithful To die, as live.
