May clear the vision, and reveal t

And guide ns to an open door
Where we new-regions niay explore.
A little light dispels the gloom
That gathers ill tho shadowed room
Where want and sickness find their prey '.
And night seems longer than the day,
And hearts with many troubles cope
Uneheerod by one slight ray of hope.
O! sore the need that some must know
Whllo Journeying through this vale of woe!
Dismayed, disheartened, gone astray,
Caught in the thickets by the way,
For lack of just a little light
To guide their wandering steps aright.
It may be little we can do
To help another it is true;
Bat better is a little spark
Of kindness, when the way is dark,
Than one should miss the road to heaven
For lack of light we might have given.

MABEL'S TROUBLE.
At the breakfast table that morning
Frank Hatfield's wife, one of tho dearest
nnd most winning of women iu tho
world, had said to him:
Have you heard from brother Walter
yeH"
"No, Mabel; not time yet. louknow
he only went day before yesterday. Get a
letter to-morrow, maybe.
Do vou know, Frank, I nm almost
wild with curiosity to see his wife? Such
an odd notion of theirs, to put off their
wedding trip for three months after they
were married 1"
"Wanted to make it in pleasant
wcuthcr, I suppose; showed their good
sense, said r rank.
nvhow, they'll be here in ten duys,
as soon ns his business is arranged," and
Mabel llathcld s almost girlish face
beamed with delight at tho thought, for
she almost idolized her "brother Walter,"
and had heard wonderful stories of the
beauty of his bride.
Such had been, iu part, the talk of the
breakfast table, nnd there had not been
in nil tho city n sunnier faco than that
with which Frank Hatfield had said
good -byo to his dear littlo wife und his
rosy faced baby bov ; but now, half nn
hour later, he sat iu his down town office
glowering at a bit of crumpled paper on
the table before him with tin expression
of countennuco which might fairly be
thouuht to include doubts of his own
sanity.
"Oak Street Station House! ' ho ex
claimed. "What iu well, I might ns
well go there.
Aud so he did, with barely enough
presence of mind to put his hat on before
lie started. A few minutes of almost
fiercely rapid walking, a brief parley
with the ollicials in - blue, and Frank
Hatfield was admitted to a dingy and
dimly lighted cell.
"Frank"
"Good heavens! You here!"
"Hush! Not a word I I gave my name
ns Harry Taylor, nud it's gono into the
reports that way.
"Hut how did it happen?"
"I can't tell, Frank. I only know they
found the pocketbook iu my pocket, and
I was so dumbfounded I could not any a
word." M
"The pocketbook?"
"Yes, it was at the Pennsylvania sta
tion. I had just checked iny trunks
when they began to make an outcry,
and that's about nil I know about it until
I was nabbed and searched."
"But Florence?" said Frauk.
"I wrote to her that I was detained iu
New York for a few days by important
business. Then I gave your name us my
counsel and sent for you."
"I didn't get your note till this luoru
iug,''said Frank.
"Some mistake or other. But hero I
nm, trapped, und what to do I do not
know."
"Oh, I can get you off easy enough;
it's an old game of the pickpockets. All
1 have got to do is to prove who you are,
and the Judgo won't fail to see it," said
Frauk.
"But I don't want to prove who I am;
it would kill Mabel and just ubout mur
der Florence. You dou't know how sen
sitive she is. No; I must be got oil nud
acquitted us Harry Taylor, or I'll never
get over it. Now, Frank, old fellow,
promise ine not to let my name out to
uuybody, least of nil to Mabel. Flor
ence's letters will come iu your care as
usual; and I can send a letter to Mabel
dated from home, you know, as if it was
inclosed to you."
"You must take tho responsibility of
all this deception, then," said Frank;
and ufter a great deal of hesitation the
tho young lawyer allowed himself to be
overpowered into giving tho required
promise, but left tho station house und
returned to his otlieo a troubled and
anxious-hearted man. Ho did not like
deception in any shape and he seriously
doubted his capacity for concealing any
thing from his dear little wife.
Aud so it was when Frank Hatfield re
turned homo that evening and silently
handed Mable uu unpostinarked missive,
over which her blue eyes glisteued and
which made her kiss the baby twice, he
did so with u Hush on his cheek and u
cloud on his brow which never lelt him
tho whole evening. In vain ho tried to bo
gay, or to make the crowing youngster a
means of concealing his perturbation, for
tho quick eyes of his wife penetrated his
clumsy artifices, und then well, if ho
had been iu trouble before he was badly
enough beset now.
Of course Frank kept his promise of
cecreey, but ut tho expense of u red faco
and a tlustered manner. He was not half
sure that his conscience had not caught
him in several petty equivo:atious or well
detiueel libs. Mure than that, Mabel was
uuitc, will invarc Uiat .Us hud penu
tratod her husband's secret, nnd she was
not only a true daughter of Evo ns to
curiosity, but as self willed and imperious
a little body as she was loving, with n
good deal of that peculiar cl"inent of char
acter out of which jealousy is manufac
tured under favorable circumstances; and
so, though at first she tried not to show
it, Mabel was more than u little offended,
and Frank, poor fellow, could not help
seeing aud feeling it. And thus the next
day passed and the next, and matters
down town looked worse and worse nnd
matters at homo grew clouder at a rato
Frank Hatfield would hardly have
thought possible. So much for keeping
a secret from his wife; and the poor fel
low grew gloomier with every glnnce at
the fretful nnd discontented face that sad
hitherto been so suuny. Even tho baby
was compelled to suffer his share ef the
household trouble. In her irritated mood
Mabel's thoughts naturally turned to her
brother, ami so one day she sat down and
wrote him a letter in which she said a
great many things that were only in
tended fo' his own eyes. Irrhaps no
harm would have come from it if Mabel
had not mailed the letter with her own
hands, without saying a word to her hus
band, and that, more by nccident than
anything else, it. was opened nnd read by
a young married lady iu one of the large
Pennsylvania towns on tho followlugday.
lt.
It was not the same cell that Frank
Hatfield had looked into before, and it
was nearly a week later. The prisoner
wus the same, however, nnd with all his
confinement ho was hardly as pale as his
worried, bothcred-lookmg visitor.
"It s nil up, Harry."
"What's up, Frank?"
"Why, this wretched secrecy business.
Florence is coming."
"Florence? How do you know ("
"Read that telegram. Got to meet her
at the train this afternoon."
Frank had tho better in color now
verv decidelv.
'Oh, Frank, my boy, what is to be
done?"
"She must know
"And Mabel?"
"We'll see about that. Don't see what
I can do but invito her to the house
And Frank llaUwlil Hooked more like a
baited wild' animal than ever ns ho half
flung himself out of the cell.
Frank did not go home to dinner that
day or he might havs discovered that tho
nurso had been left alono with the baby
and his wife had "gone out," no one
knew whither. So, in uncomfortable
ignorance of the dangers that beset him.
ho went to the depot that afternoon and
waited for a ladv who should reserablo
as nearly ns possible the miniature like
ness which had been shown him, anil ho
found her verv rendilv; There was no
chance for mistaking the striking, nerv
ous looking beauty, nnd, in fact, ns he
ndvanccd to meet "her the trembling lips
parted sllightlv, just euough to say
"Frank Hatfield?"
"Aud vou are Florence?"
"Oh, Frank! Where is my husband?
Why is ho not here?
"lie is safe nud well, I assure you, and
vou shall soon see him.
"But I don't understand! Why is nil
this mystery nnd deception?
"I enn't explain here," said Frank.
"but if you will getiuto a carriage I will
tell you as we go."
And Frank was determined to keep
his word, though he had almost as soon
have been convicted of burglary. Ho
was not aware of nil his trouble, how
ever. He had not noticed tho veiled fe
male form that had followed him into
the depot, nor had his excited and con
fused faculties taken any note of the fact
that the samo form sprang lightly into a
coupe which drove off rapidly after thn
carriage which contained him nnd
Florence.
Florence on tho whole sustained tho
shock much better than Frauk had ex
pected, in a lew monieiii.sj mi, wiiii
nil her nervousness, she was o bravo nud
devoted wife Florence declared herself
ready to hurry at once to the "Tombs."
"I must stop at my office for a mo
ment," said Frank.
"Oh, but I am iu such n hu.try'!" said
Florence.
"But it is only to leave a luw paper
with my partner. He has been at court
all day and I have not seen him."
Frank's office was in a very busy part
of tho city, and both ho and Florence
had their heads too full of exciting
thoughts to notieo any particular mem
bers of the hurrying throngs upon tho
sidewalks. Still, ns the carriage pulled
up nt tho curb Frank remarked: "Good!
I won't have to go up stairs; there's my
partner now. Brown! Eh, Brown!"
The gentleman thus addressed had
been standing ou the edge of the walk as
if waiting for some one and now camo
forward with n remarkably beaming ex
pression of countenance.
"Frank, my boy, it's all right."
"AVhat's all right?"
"Why, that Harry Taylor's case."
Frank natfield had to cicch his breath
for a moment, but stcoimered, "H h
how?"
"Why, there was a whole batch sent
up this morning nnd one of them con
fessed to putting tho pocketbook iu
Harry's pocket." ,
Well, what did you do?"
Oh, Judge 51 was ns good as
pie; let him right out, aud I've got him
up stairs in tho ofnee."
A gloved hand was on Frank's shoulder
and a trembling voice was trying to ask
him:
"Frauk, Frank, isn't that Walter?"
"Yes, it's Walter," said Frank Hat
field; but ho was sorry enough the next
minute, ns ho sat iu n corner of the car
riage, trying to recall the color to tho
white and beautiful faco of Florence, for
she had fainted. As for Brown, he had
comprehended the situation well enough
to dash upstairs, and by the timo Flor
ence had recovered her senses she was in
moro tender hands than those of half
frightened, clumsy Frank Hatfield.
And now the enrriugo was being
whirled away uptown, for Frank was
urged by something even stronger than
hospitality in his eagerness to reach his
clouded home. 11c could have uo pu-
tience with cither horses er driver,
especially as Florence and Walter looked
so provokingly loving nnd happy upon
the rear seat.
Home was reached at last, however,
nnd the somewhat irate driver reined in
his smoking horses in front of the house.
Frank sprang to the sidewalk and never
dreamed of aiding Walter; but Florence
by this time was well able to help herself.
It was not very late when locy entered
the house, and Frank's latchkey dis
pensed with hell-ringing nnd servants. '
'YY nit a moment m the parlor, sunt
Frank, "while I call Mable."
And so saving, but with a big weight
upon his heart, Frauk pushed onward to
ward the sitting-room. As he threw
open the door before him, however, ho
was suddenly confronted by a lady in
full traveling costume, and a glunro be
yond showed him a marvelous array of
trunks nnd traveling bags.
"Mable, my dear
A gloved hand held out townrel him a
small whito envelope, while a husky and
trembling viiice said :
"Good-bvo, Frank."
"Mable"
"Isn't that Walter's voio
Oh,
Walter, are vou here?"
"Yes, Mable; here I inn, safe and
sound." And Walter himself rushed
forward, taking hold of his pretty sister
us if about ready to swullow her.
"Oh, v alter; take mo uwny take mo
homo to mother's."
"But, Mabel, what is the matter?
Frank has been just the best old fel
low" "Walter there she is I saw her at
the depot the very same woman; and
now he's brought her here! Walter,
what does it all mean?"
"Mean! Why, Mabel come hero,
Florence Mabel, this is my wife, your
sister, Florence. I've been in trouble
nnd Frank has helped me through, like a
trump that he is, and you nre mad; when
you have got the best fellow in the world
for a bus
Mabel gave one look at her brother,
another intothe wistful face of her new sis
ter, but she caught n glance of the keen
suffering in tho trembling lips of her hus
band, nud with:
"Oh, Frauk, forgive me; I've been so
foolish!"
Frauk Hatfield's worry was over.
A Dog's Benevolence.
A dog in the neighborhood of Mnncbes
ter, England, hns becu distinguishing it
self in n marked degree. This is not a
homeless cur, but n dog iu easy circum
stances, nnd owned bv a kind and indul
gent master. Too indulgent, the reader
may be disposed to think, wheu he is
told that every morning at lunch time
tho creature is presented with a peunv,
which is carried iu its mouth to the shop
of a baker, mid there purchased a biscuit
It happened, however, that the baker,
meeting the owner of the dog, mentioned
to him that it had not been for its biscuit
lately. This was unaccountable, and tho
more so because the animal's master had
remarked that during the past week or so
it had exhibited unusual impatience for
lunch time, endeavoring by caressing nud
tail-wagging to obtain its luncheon
money before it was due. When it nt
last received it it had never failed to run
off iu a hurry, and nfter n while return
without tho coin, seemingly satisfied with
its investment.
The next morning after the baker had
made his communication to the gentleman,
tho latter, after giving his dog the penny,
w as curious to watch it. And loand be
hold ! it never went near tho biscuit
shop! Without tin instant's delay it
hastened to a tripe seller's, and there
bought aud paid for a neat and tempting
skewering of "paunch." But it was not for
its own eating. With cheerful alacrity
it took the meat iu its mouth and made
for uu empty house, und to the cellar
thereof, and being closely followed, the
benevolent creature was discovered in tho
act of delivering its precious pennyworth
to a poor miserable tyke, a stranger to
the neighborhood, nnd apparently of tho
"tr:unp" species. Evidently it had been
taken ill on the road, and probably
would havo died in the cellar into which
it had crawled for shelter, hud it not
been for the kind commiseration of the
other dog, who probably quite by acci
dent had found it there.
Snatched Fortune From Misfortune.
In 18tj5 Farmer Stanley's house nnd
farm wero ruined by the Cherry Mount
ain landslide iu New Hampshire. Ho
thought that he wus a ruined man, but
the exhibition of the devastation to sight
seers, whom ho charged for the sight,
brought him enough money with which
to buy a small farm in Jefferson. He
has just sold his farm to a hotel company
ut a big profit, and invested the proceeds
in a large farm not far from his old
home.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
'TIS VEKY MEAN TO STF.AI. ONK'b SEI1VANT. '
AVomcn who are engaged in keeping
house believe that the meanest thing the
members of their sex can do is to steal
their servant girls, and it is pretty gener
ally conceded that they are right. .Noth
ing can be more despicable than the theft
of a good servant girl by the offer of a
half-dollar or so more per week in wages.
Supposing, for instance, that a woman
engages a good girl for general housework
nnd teaches her, through hard work and
patience, the rudiments of cooking, wash
ing, ironing, etc. She has engaged the
girl at nominal wages because her services
arc worth but little. Just as soon as sue
has learned something a smooth neighbor
entices her away by an offer of more
money. Is there any adequate punish
ment for such women J If the render will
return twenty-five favorable answers to
this query she will be presented with nn

punishment for such women. Ciicayv

A JAPANESE RESTAURANT.
WHERE A HUNGRY AMERICAN CAN
DINE IN ORIENTAL STYLE.

A writer in ny,e;' KeeUy gives thh
description of a Japanese restaurant re
cently opened in New York city :
The dining-room is long, narrow and
high-ceiled. A quiet paper covers the
walls, which are ornamented here and
there with peculiar Chinese banners, Jap
anese straw hangars, and abomiuable
American chromos. (Iimisy chairs and
little tables covered with white oil cloth,
arc arranged on either side of the otm.
Everything is drthjrutfuHr cool, clean,
and fresh looking. The floor, wulls and
ceiling nre innocent of dust or debiis.
Tho proprietor, cook and waiter are
Japanese of the purest type. They dress
neatly in American clothes, and wear
their hair nnd sparse beard in regular
New York style, but in manners, gait,
carriage and opinion are genuine children
of the Orient. They speak English fair
ly well, using tho low tones, the half-intonation,
and the musical inflection so
common to the languages of the East.
The dinner opens with lit tie slices of dried
smoked, or salted fish, served with bright
colored vegetables. The nett dih is a
fish soup, which ought to be adopted in
our own land for its delicious and whole
some qualities. It is made from n stock
like our soups, but with tho difference
that the Japanese cook makes a stock ex
clusively from fish, us we do with meat.
The cheaper mild flavored fishes nre boiled
for days, until all the gelatine nnd solu
ble elements are extracted by the hot
water, and nothing if left but mere skin
and bone. These are strained out, leav
ing a heavy, transparent, yellowish brown
fluid of a very grateful flavor and great
nutritive power. When served, it is
brought on in a bow) iu which have been
placed a well steamed fillet of blue fish,
weak fish, or salmon, two or three boiled
tree mushrooms, and suc h spices and
other condiments ns the chef may fancy.
The third course is fish, roasted ol
broiled. It is served unbroken on a hand
some platter, and deconited in a manner
altogether Eastern.. The favorite style
in this respect is to fill one corner of the
dish with little blocks of omelet, either
plain or highly seasoned; a second cor
ner, with a pile of spinach, with which
have been cooked minute pieces of radish
skiu, carrot, or beet, to given contrast in
color; a third corner, with radishes cm
into curious shapes that display the crim
son of the exterior ns well as the whiti
within; uud the fourth, with mushroons.
iiiu-tais (uu exquisite Eastern esculent i.
or trutlles. This dish w hen served is a
perfect poem iu color. The fourth course
is nu entree, either of lish cooked some
thing like the boullibais.se of Marseilles,
of meat, poultry, or game ns with us. It
is followed by dimutive fish or meat
dumplings, of which the enclosing dough
is hardly as thick hs cardboard, nud the
spiced filling has been chopped into nl
niost a pulp. The roast that succeeds is
the ordinary American article, though
origiually it was a baked stuffed fish. Yege.
tables accompany the various courses, but
in a very empirical way, the waiter for
ever removing one and bringing on an
other, without rhyme or reason. Besides
those familiar to Western palates, are
pickled carrots and soused beets (both of
which nre charming in appearance, but
mawkish if not nauseating in flavor),
tree-mushrooms, yams, bamboo tips,
Chinese potatoes, and watermelon seeds.
Unlike the Chinese, tho Japanese iu
Now York serve no alcoholic beverages
with heir meals. At home the rule is
the opposite, the very poorest using the
reeking and powerful liquors known us
suki and sumshui. Like the Chinese,
they use no water, employing tea in its
stead. This, under the present adiniuis
trutiou, has attained nn excellence as high
us that of the finest crops of Oolong uud
Pekoe.
The tableware deserves especial men
tion. The knives, forks und spoons lire
silver plate uud of the best Ameuieuii
make. It is only thirty yeurs since these
nrticles were almost unknown in Japan,
the chopstick and the china spoon being
the ouly tableware employed. The china
und porcelain are altogether Oriental in
appearance and character. Tho teacups
ate wide aud shallow, with brims that.
instead of being flat, curl up at otic point
into graceful apex, and ou the opposite
side sink down into u delicate -shape
hollow. Both iusrde and out, beneath
the colored glaze, are the whorls made
by the potter in "throwing" the cup.
The service of the soup is very curious.
I ho w aiter brings a bowl to each (.'lies'
which is oviil in shape, about six inches iu
diameter and five inches in height. The
top channeled, and is covered with a
closely-fitting lid, almost saucer-like iu up
pcarance. The guest removes the cove
uud lays it alongside the how I, Using it as
a receptacle for fish bones, vegetable
stems or animal cartilage. When the
course is over, the waiter seizes the cover,
and with u snift turn of the wrist re
places it on the bowl, throwing into tin
latter with the samemoveiueut the debris
it contains.
All of tho table china in the Japanese
restaurant makes a pleasing contrast to
that usually employed by cmr own race
lis color, shape and decoratiou vary in
finitely, but are always restful and agreea
ble to tho eye.
Last of till, but of equal interest to the
reader, is the fact that the Japuuese favor
economy uud low prices. A superb meal
w ith tliem costs not more thuu u quarter
of what it would under American or
European auspices. From first to lu-l
their dinners are good, delightful aud
very cheap.
