a question ou which the economist

Jackson (Breathitt County) Hustler
says : "Word comes to us from every

the mountains iu regard to punishing
criminals. A man told us thU week
that ho had been in eight oounties
since the Fields-Adkins trial at Bar
boursville, and that tho intouse fool
ing against lawlessness was universal.
A gentleman who has been in Perry
County much of tho time in the past
nix weeks told us that thore would bo
x.o trouble to get a jury iu that coun
ty to hang a man if he deserved it. In
the counties where lawlessness has
been worst this feeling is grout oat.

THE MORNING BIRD.
fOne of the most treasured rolies I hnvo is
a poem which my father wrotu when I won n
little hoy. My father wn anntlve if Maine, but
for nil thnt he wn a mnn of sentiment, nnd
ho had much literary tnnto nnd ability, tx.
Th. poem which ho gave and which I hnvo
always trci.iinvl.wlll (If I Bin not grievously
in orror) touch a responsive chord In many
a human henrt, for nil humanity looks bnuk
with tenderness to the time of youth.--Eugono
Flold, la Chicago Uncord.
A bird sat in tho maple troo
And tills was the song he sang to mo;
"O little boy, awake, awake, arise!
The sun Is high In the morning sklosj
The brook's a-plny In the pasture lot
And wondoreth that Iho little boy
It loveth dearly eomoth not
To sbaro its turbulunce and joy;
Tho grass hath kisses cool and sweot
For truant little brown bnro foot
Mo come, 0 child, awake, arise!
Tho sun is high la tho morning skies!"
Ho from the yonder maplo troo
Tho bird kept singing unto mo;
llut that was very long ago
I did not think -I did not know
Else would I not have longer slept
And dreamt the precious hours awnyi
Else would I from my bed have leapt
To greet another hnppy day
A day, untouched of care and truth,
With swout companionship of youth
The dear old friends which you nnd I
Kuew iu the happy years gone by!
Will in the maple can be hoard
The muslo of the morning bird,
And still the song Is of the day
Thut runnoth o'er with childish piny;
Btlll of onch pleasant old-tlmo place
And of th. old-tlmo friends I know
Tho pool where hid the furtive daoc,
The lot tho brook went scampering through
The mill, the lane, the bellflower treo
Thnt used to love to shelter mo
And all those others I know then,
But which I cannot know aguin!
Alas! from yonder mnplo troo,
The morning bird sings not to me;
Else would his ghostly voico prolong
An evening, not a morning, song;
Aud ha would tell of each dear spot
I knew so well and cherished then,
As all forgetting, not forgot
By him who would be young again!
0 child, tho voice from yondor troo
C'alleth to you and not to me;
Ho wake and know those friendships all
1 would to God I could recall !
"THOU ART THE MAN!"
BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES.
TS the last straw
that breaks tho
camel's back,"
said Lucy, burst
ing into tears.
Xhe pleasant
June sunbeams
oama Doeninor
CIW into tho cooK
stone-paved dairy, where pans of
milk and cream wero ranged in or
derly array ; great stone pots stood
under tho shelves, and a blue-painted
churn was already placed on tho table
lor service.
Mr. Bellenden was justly proud of
his dairy. Not a ohanoe guest camo
to the house but was invited down to
see it; not a housekeeper in the
neighborhood but secretly enviod its
many conveniences and exquisite
neatness.
"And it isn't tho dairy alone 1" tri
umphantly remarked Seth Bellenden.
"And you may go through the house
from garret to cellar, and you will
never rind a speck of dust or a stain
of rust. There never was such a
housekeeper as my wife."
Mrs. Bellenden was yonng, too
scarcely three-aud-twenty. She had
been the daughter of a retired array
oftlccr, delicately roared and quite ig
norant of all the machinery of domes
tic lifo until she married Seth Bellou
dcn. "It's very strange," Lucy hal writ
ten to her futher. "The farm is
beautifui. You never saw such mon
strous old buttonball trees, nor such
suporb roses, and the meadows are
full of olover and the strawberries
Bhine like jewels on tho suuny hill
sides. But nobody sketches or reads.
I don't think there is a copy of Ten
nyson in the whole neighborhood,
and no one ever heard of Iore or Mil
luis. All they think of is how many
dozous of eggs tho hens lay, and how
many chooses they can make iu a year.
Aud the womnn who has a new re
ceipt for wulUes, or a new patteru for
a horriLlo thing that thoy call crazy
quilts, is the leader iu society."
But presently young Mrs. Bellenden
herself caught the fetT and became a
model housewife. Exauiplo is all
powerful, and Lucy began to believe
that the whole end and aim of life was
domestic thrift, money-saving and the
threadmill of work.
"My dear," said Seth, "if you
thought you could get nloug without
Hepsy, the maid, I might bo able to
ullurd that new reaper before the oat
crop comes in."
"I'll try," said Lucy.
Aud after that she rose before day
breuk and worked Inter into tho night
than ever.
"What is tho matter with your
bauds, Lucy?" Seth askod one day.
"Thoy are not so white and beautiful
as they used to be."
Lucy colored as sho glanced down
at tho members iu question.
1 suppose it is matin;? tlio liios,"
said she.
And then sho took to weuriug old
kid gloves at her sweepiug aud dust
ing aud digging out of ashes.
"My coat is gettiug shabby," Seth
ono day remarked.
"Why dou't you buy another one?"
asked his wife.
Seth laughed a short laugh.
"What do you thiuk Mrs. Higgiu
botham has done?" said he. ".She
ripped up tier husbuud's obi suit aud
cut u patteru by it, aud made a new
one, aud entirely saved hint ten dollars!"
IISI
"I could do that 1" said Lncy, with
sparkling eyes. "I will try it I"
"You can do anything, my doer I"
sanl Air. Kellcnilen, admiringly.
And Lucy felt that sho had her rich
rownrd.
Company began to come as soon as
the bright weather set in.
All tho affectionate relations of Mr
Bellenden soon disoovorod that the
fnrmhonsd was cool and shady, that
Lucy's cooking was excellent, and that
the bodrooms wore neatness itself.
Somo of them wore even good enough
to invite their rotations as woll, and so
tlie house was full from April to Do
comber.
All tho clergymen made it their
homo at Brother Bellenden's when
they came to Silvan Bridgo forccclesi
aslical conventions; all the acreuts
for unheard-of articles discovered that
they knew somebody who was oo
quainted with tho Bellendens, and
brought their onrpct-bags and valises,
with that faith in human hospitality
wnicn is one of life s best gifts.
Mrs. Bellenden's fame went abroad
among tho Dorcases of the neighbor
hood in the matter of butter and
cheese. Sho took prizes iu the do-
mestio department of all the ogricul
turnl fairs, and the adjoining house
wives took no troublo to make things
that they could borrow of Mrs. Bol-
londoo, "just as well as not."
And one day, whon poor Luoy, un
dcr tho blighting influouce of a horri
ble sick headache, was endeavoring to
strain three oi four gallons of milk
into the shining pans, the news ar
rived that Undo Paul wag coming to
tuo lnrra.
"Auother guest I" said Lucy, de
spairingly.
And then sho uttered tho proverb
mat Heads our sketch.
"Oh, it's ouly Undo Paul I" said
Mr. Bellenden. "Don't fret, Lutio;
ho's tho most peaceable old gentleman
in ino worm, uuii mane no more
troublo than a cricket. John's wifo
thought she couldn't have him, be
causo sho has no hired girl just now'
"Neither have II" said Lucy, re
bclliously.
"And Sarah Eliza don't like com'
pony."
"I am supposed to bo fond of it!"
observed Lucy, bitterly.
"And Reuben's girls don't want old
folks staying tlurro. It's too - much
trouble, they anV? added Seth.
Lucy bit her lip to keep back the
wonts sua might nave uttered, and
said, instead :
"Where is he to sleep? Tho Bel
fords have tho front bedroom, aud
your Cousin Susan oooupies the back,
ana tuo four Miss l'fittersons sleep tu
tho two hall chambers, and the hirod
men have the garret room."
alio might have added that sho aud
her husband and tho baby hadslopt in
a hot little den opcuing from the kit
chen for four weeks, vainly expecting
Mr. and Mrs. Bclford to depart, and
that sho had never yet had a chanoo
to invito her father to tho farm in
pleasant wc&thcr.
But shu was magnanimous and held
her peace.
"Oh, you can fiud some place for
him !" said her husband, lightly.
"There's that little room at tho cud
of the hall where tho spinning-wheel
is."
"Hut it isn't furnished?" pleaded
Lucy.
"You can easily sew a carpet to
gether out of thoso old pieces from
tho Bedfords' room, and it's no troublo
to put up a musliu curtain to the win
dow and lift in a cot-bod. There are
plenty of good sweet husks in the
eorn-housc, and you can just tack to
gether a mattress and whitewash the
ceiling, and What's that, Beniah?
The cows in the rye lot ! Dear me !
Everything goes wrong it I stop into
the house for a moment. Aud really,
Lutie, these things are rour business
not mine !" ho added, irritably.
Lucy could not help laughing, nil
by herself, a? her husband ran up the
steps.
But it was ft vory sad little laugh,
and soon chunked into a sigh.
"I wonder," suid she, iu a whispor,
"if my poor, tirod-out ghost would
hauut these stone pavements and
scrubbed shelves if I wero to die? I
never heard of a ghost iu a dairy bo
fore, but I should think thut it might
easily be."
But the little bedroom was filled up
for all that, as fresh as a rose, aud
Undo Paul arrived, a dried-up, yel-low-complexioned
ol I inau, with au
old-fashioned cravat tied iu many folds
niouud his ueck, aud a suit of navy
blue, with brass buttons.
Ho hud tho polite way of half a
century ago, and Lucy thought sho
should like him very much, if ouly
she had time to get acquaiutod with
him.
But sho was churning tun pounds of
butter a day, aud there was the baby,
and tho company, aud tho young
chickens, and tho baking to do for the
sewing society, which was to meet ut
her hotiso this week.
She was ulinost too busy to sleep.
But Uncle Paul wus wutchiug her
quietly all tho time.
Ho eamo out one day to the barn,
whero his nephew was putting a new
haudlo on a sickle blade.
"Pretty bujy times, eh, Undo
Paul ?" suid the farmer, scarcely tukiug
thj leisure to look up.
"Aye," absently auswerod the old
uiau. "Uiil I tell you, Nephew Seth,
about the rcusou I left your Cousin
Klittb's!"
"Not that I remember," eai 1 Seth,
breathing on the blade and polishing
it with his silk handkerchief.
"Dorothy died his wife!"
"Oh, yes!" said Seth. "Mai rial
fever, wasu't it?"
"No!" bluntly answered Uude
Paul. "It was hard work. That wo
iiiuu. Nephew Seth, did the housework
for eight persons. Eliub didn't eveu
let her have a wuyiau to help with the
washing aud tho ironing."
"Must Lavo been a regular-going
bruto," said Seth, tightening the ban
dlo a Kttlo.
"All the sewing, too," added Undo
Paul "the inendin; and making.
Never wont anywhere exoept to church.
Eliab didn't believe in women gad
ding about."
"The old savage !" said Seth.
"Sho was fond of reading, but sho
never got any timo for it," said Uncle
Paul. "She rose bofore sun-up, and
never lay down until eleven o'clock.
It was hard work that killed that wo
man, and Eliab coolly declared that it
was sheer laziness when she "couldn't
drag herself around any longer. And
when sho died ho rollod up his eyes
and called it tho visitation of Provi
dence." "Why didn't the neighbors lynch
him?" criod Both, fairly aroused to
indignation at lost.
Undo Paul took off his glasses, wiped
them vigorously and looked his nophow
hard in the face.
"Why don't tho neighbors lynch
you ?" said her
Seth dropped the sickle and started.
"Nephew Seth," said. Undo Paul,
impressively, "tlion art the man I Aro
you not doing the very same thing?"
"I?" gnspod Seth.
"Your wifo is doing tho work of a
household of sixteen peoplo," said
Uncle Paul. "She is drudging as you
could hire no foroigner to drudge.
She is rising early, aud lying down
late ; she is offering up her lifo on the
shrine of your farm and its require
ments, I have seen her grow thin and
pale even during tho few days I havo
been here. I have carried water and
split wood for her because there was
no one else to do it. I have seen her
curry np Mrs. Belford's breakfast
daily to her room, because Mrs. Bel
ford preferred to lie in bed ; and
cooking dainty dishes for Helen Pat
terson, because Helen wouldn't eat
what tho rest like. No galley-slave
ever worked as sho does. And you,
with your hired men whose board
only adds to her cares and your array
of labor-saving machinery, stand
coolly by and seo her commit slow
sui6ide. Yes, Nephew Seth, I think
it is a caso for lynching?"
Both had grown pale.
"I I never thought of this," said
he. "Why didn't some ono tell me?"
"Where were your own eyes?" said
Uncle Paul.
Seth Bellenden rolled down his shirt
sleeves, put on his coat, and went iuto
the house.
He told the Belfords and Pattersons
that it was inconvenient to keep them
any longer. He gave Cousin Susan to
understand that her room was needed.
He made arrangements to board tho
hired men at the vacant farmhouse,
and engaged a stout dairyman and a
house-servant to wait on Lucy. And
ho telegraphed to her father to come
to Silvan Bridge at once.
"She deserves a treat, he said.
He shall spend tho summer with
us.
And then he went to tell Luoy.
She had fainted amoug tho butter
cups, picking strawberries for tea.
Poor little Lucy 1 The machinery had
utterly refused to revolve auy longer.
liis Heart grew cold within him.
"She will die," ho thought, "audi
shall have murdered her?"
But she did not die. Sho recovered
her strength by degrees.
It is better than auv medicine.
she said, "to know that Seth is think
ing of me nnd for me."
And Undo Paul "tho last straw,"
as she had called him had proved her
salvation.
"I don't want hor to go as Eliab's
wife did," said Undo Paul. Saturday

Mr. Weldou and I often went into

MaMujr Wall Paper.
It is very interesting to go through
a wall paper factory aud follow tho
processes of manufacture. The de
signs ore the tirst things observed.
Formerly there was a scarcity ol those,
but now there is a Hood, and a manu
facturer must exercise much nrlistio
taste aud business ability in milking
selections. Various designers have
different specialties somo ilowerp,
others architectural idea", etc. nud
of recent years architects have devo
ted many of their spare moiueuts to
originating wall paper designs. A
complete design consists of threo
pieces side woll. border and ceiling.
The general width of patterns of tho
side wall and coiling as used iu tho
trado aud manufactured by American
machinery is eighteen iuches, und tho
length of tho repeat in tho patters is
eight, eleven and three-fourths or
fourteen aud three-fourths inches, as
suggested by tho character of tho de
sign, the shorter repeats being the
most satisfactory to the trade iu gen
eral. Many of tho best effects are
produced iu papers containing only
four to six colors, but as many as
twenty or tweuty-fivo nro sometimes
used. Euch color au 1 shade iu a do

Scientific I'scs of Liquid Air.
In a recent lecture ou the scientific
uses of liquid air Professor Dewar
froze a soup bubble by means of tho
intense cold produced uear the sur
face of liquid air. Tho samo effect,
however, wusobtuiued by Mr. Pim by
uutural cold in Colorado lust wiuter,
when the thermometer stood at four
teen degrees below zero, Fuhreuheit,
that is to say at forty-six degrees of
frost. Acting ou tho suggestion of
his little boy, who wai blowing soap
bubbles, ho sout ono iuto tho cold air
outside. It froze instantly, aud set
tled to tho groiiu.l ns a hollow shell of
ice. When the thermometer rose to
zero the bubbles would not freeze,
but whether this wus owing to tho
change of temperature or some other
couditiou of the air Mr. Pim is unable
to say. Loudon tilobe.
