ARBUTUS.
Iere"a a gleam of spring In my dark old
room
And a breath of spring- In the air.
t cannot write and I cannot think.
So I fling down my pen In deapalr.
For my truant heart la out In the woods
Still damp from the melted snows,
Where the sweet wild things of the shadow
hide
And the trailing arbutus growa.
I lay my head down on my folded arm
And drowsily shut my eyes.
My dark old room whirls lightly away
And the din of the city dies;
The long hard years of Btruggle and fret,
Of hope and despair and pain.
Slip from me silently one by one
And I am a child again.
'Tls spring in the country, and on the hills.
In the secret places of gloom.
Where the thick brown mossei cover the
earth, m
The arbutua Is all a-bloom;
The children eager from school let out.
Are off and away on Its quest,
Laden with baskets, sun-bonneted, tanned.
And laughing with childish seat.
Pear little flowers In the cracked blue Jar,
We nrc homesick, you and I;
We fain would be back In the dear old spot
If hut long enough to die.
Children we are of the woods and fields.
Comrades of the wild and thofree.
And the city with all Its confusion and
glare.
Was never for such as we.

THE ROMANCE OF MUTBY
WORKHOUSE
By Mrs. Isabel Smith
TIK puanllnns if the Mutbj work
houae had juat finished their or
ilinary meeting, when the master, with
rather n aheejiish expression of coun
tenance, ohsrrvoxl:
"I think, gentlemen, I ought to lay
liefore you n letter I received yester
day. First oiy of that sort I ever had."
"Dear me, Tripp, what's that?" ex
claimed the chaplain, otherwise the
rector of afutbjr, commonly called l'nr
non Weaver, a round, rosy-faced mun,
who more resembled n farmer than a
clerirymun.
The other members of the board
ceased their varioua conversations and
looked expectant, all except Dr.
Kvesham, the medical officer. For the
last half-hour he had heard efery Im
patient thud of his handsome chest
nut's hoofs on the gravel outside, and
felt that what might be an agreeable
method of passing a little spare time to
his confreres was a waste of precious
moments to a busy man like himself.'
The whole business might be settled so
much more quickly had tiey been con
cise instead of rambling and (Imputa
tive. He had Just been wondering how
it could ever have been accepted aa a
popular fact that his sex were behind
hand in the matter of speech, when this
new delay occurred. He waa a man of
nbout 35, quiet and reserved, living
by himself, and accustomed to long,
lonely drives about the Suffolk country
on his professional errands.
"Well, Tripp, whnt Is It?" repeated
Parson Weaver, rather Impatiently. He
had been Interrupted In an Interesting
discussion with his neighbor, the squire,
about the trotting hackney and "gate
post" mangolds that he hot. got first
priito for at the recent agricultural
show.
The master cleared his throat, and
read, somewhat nervous! y, the follow
ing epistle:
Sept. 16, 18.
To the Master of Muthy Workhouse:
Sir: I am a native of Thorpe St. Ilarnn
I'lts, and left this country 40 years bro for
Australia, where I made a comfortable for
tune. I am now returned to my native load,
but llnd nearly nil my friends are gunc und
scattered. I am Wl years of aire, strong;
and hearty, and want a wtfo to help
spend my savlnirs. fan you recommend
me a nice, respeetalde younir woman among
your Inmates? I should prefer a single
woman, not a widow, and would make her
a good husband, l'lease write by return to
Stephen Yaxley. Hell Inn, Thorpe Bt.
Itarnabaa, 8uffolk.
A smile appeared on most of the
faces round the bai.e-eovered table as
the master finished,
"Dear me, Tripp," said the parson,
"are you to be turned Into a matri
monial agent In your old age?"
The master half laughed. "It would
seem so, sir. Curious letter, isn't.) it,
gentlemen? Hut I thought It my duty
to bIiow it to you."
"Certainly, certainly," echoed all.
Dr. Evesham was gazing absently out
ef the big window ut a distant view of
stained wherry-solls gliding up the
river.
"What is your opinion, Evesham?"
asked the squire, ruther pettishly. He
thought the medical officer might take
a little interest in the subject, so that
he could get back the sooner to the
more interesting one of agriculture,
and convince l'orson Weaver that the
prize for mangolds had been-unfairly
bestowed,
"My opinion ? I have hardly had time
to form one," answered the doctor,
coolly. "Hut I don't know that I should
take any notice of the letter."
The master coughed deprecatingly.
"Well, sir, if 1 may be so bold as to
suggest, I just mentioned the matter
to my wife, and she says she thinks
he might do for Susannah West."
"Susannah West!" exclaimed the
doctor, bringing the legs of his chair
to the ground so violently as to make
the others start.
"Is that the girl w-ith the reddish
hair?" asked the squire, screwing up
his eyes meditatively.
"And violent eyes," said the parson;
"very much like some' of the old mas
ters' portraits of the Madonna.
"The young woman's father "was a
small former at Cutton All fSaints,
said the master, "and failed. She was
ill for a long while after she got here.
It aecmed to prey upon her mind.
"Yes, yes, we all remember," said the
medical officer. "She had a low fever;
it was a tough job to pull her through."
"You ordered port wine for her, sir,
said the butcher, cheerfully, ne did
not object to what some member
called extraragnnce in thesick-dietlng,
which generally Included a good sop
ply of beef-tea.
"A sad case, a sad case," said the
squire. "But I don't see why the young
woman can't go out to service."
"Not strong enough," replied the doc
tor, "nor brought up to that sort of
work. She has the instincts of a lady,
but unfortunately not enough educa
tion to fit her for teaching."
"Then, from what 1 can see of it,"
said the squire, "she will be here for
the rest of her days like old Molly
Mobbs, that was reckoned to have cost
the ratepayers over 1,000 altogether."
"Unless she nccepts this offer," said
the chaplain. "Ball gentlemen?"
All looked a little doubtful, as if not
quite certain whether to treat the sug
gestion seriously.
At that moment a troop of little work
house children filed past the window,
followed by a young woman, clad in
the lilac-check union gown und hideous
black straw union bonnet with its pur
ple ribbon.
"There goes Susannah West!" ex
claimed the master; "sIic'b just bring
ing the little ones home from u wnlk.
A rare hand with them she is, too."
The sun was shining straight upon
the young woman in question, und the
board caught u glimpse of a dazzling
wild-rose complexion and bands of red
gold waving hair.
"A very respectable girl, indeed," said
the parson "and 1 for one suggest
that we follow this offer up. We ought
to make inquiries; and, though I have
plenty to do in the parish" (the others
exchanged quietly amused glances at
this assertion, for it was well known
that the parson took his parochial du
ties very lightly), "I will go over to
Thorpe St. liarnabas myself und find
out nil that 1 can of Mr. Stephen Yax
ley. Hut in the meantime, Tripp, sny
nothing to the girl."
A special board meeting was held a
few days later. The parson's inquiries
proved satisfactory, and it now only
remained to Inform the young woman
of the proxisal.
"I suppose you've quite settled It
ahull be Susannah West, gentlemen?"
said the muster, a little diffidently.
"I suppose so, Tflpp. Why?" usked
the squire.
"Wall, sir, for the matter of getting
rid of one of the women, I'd sooner It
was Mary I'ott. She's such a grumbling
creature never satisfied."
"So she Is, Trippi but then she's a
widow, and thot is against Mr. Yaxley's
specifications."
Tripp scratched his bead. "Not a
bad-looking woman, sir," he observed.
"No, no. Dut a stipulation is a stip
ulation; and I, for my part, consider
that Providence has sent this special
offer on purpose for Susannah West."
A murmur of approval followed this
assertion; only the butcher ventured
to demur. "Seems a bit oldish for the
girl, don't he, gentlemen T'
"Otd? Pshaw! What's 58?" cried
one und all. "Better able to take care
of a wife. Got a position," etc.
"Yea, yea; to be sure. Of course that
mokes up," said the butcher.
"Yery well," said the parson; "then
let it be settled once for all that behave
Susannah West."
"Yes, gentlemen; that is all very
well ns far as It goes," observed the
medical officer, who had noi yet
spoken. "But the question still re
mains: Will Susannah West have
him?"
The others looked a little foolish, as
though this side of the argument hnd
not struck them.
"That we can soon find out," sold
Parson Weaver, Irritably. "Tripp,
fetch the girl here"
In a few minutes the girl stood be
fore them; she looked shy "nnd half
(rightened) wondering what the board
could wunt of her.
"Ha! Susnnnnh, my denr," began the
parson he had called her Miss West
In the days of her prosperity, but one
cannot expect complimentary titles in
the workhouse "we have sent for you
because in short well, we have a
Tery advantageous offer, which wc
think will just suit yon."
Before Susannah could make any re
ply, the squire, determined that the
chaplain should not have it all his own
wav, exclaimed in his hearty voice:
" 'hat would you say to a good home
ami a kind husband, my girl?"
The color flooded Susannah's face;
she gave one startled glance, then stood,
with her eyes on the floor, nervously
plaitlnff a oanaar of her checked apron.
"Perhaps II vonM to aw well If I
read the kttttv W to) lousiied," said
'the parson, glaring ttoappreval at his
neighbor for having forced his hand
Then he pnt on his spectacles, and
read in slow and ponderous tones Mr.
Stephen Yaxley's epistle, pausing erery
now and then to see the effect. If he
expected rnpturous gratitude when he
finished he was disappointed. Susan
nah never raised her eyes, ner color
came nnd went, and her lips trembled;
but she said not a word.
"Well, my girl," cried the squire, un
nblc to restrain his impatience, "what
do you say to this? Isn't it a fine
chance? I wouldn't think twice about
It ff I were you. Just look at your po
sition, nere you are In the work
house nt your nge, and, like a rat, with
out a friend in the world. Not any
fnult of yours, of course," he added, as
a pained expression flitted across the
girl's face.
"Perhaps she would like a little time
to think it over," suggested the butcher,
in his thick, husky voice.
"Hove you' got nothing to say, Su
sannoh?" inquired the parson, rather
sternly.
The girl's fingers interlaced nervously-
"You are very kind, gentlemen; but
I I don't know what to say."
She looked around appeal! ngly, des
perotely. "Come, come, be quick to settle It,
girl. Wo don't want another special
meeting called," cried the squire,
i The medical officer rose: "I think,
gentlemen, perhaps if I saw Miss West
alone for a minute she might give me
an answer. She feels embarrassed, I
can see."
"Quite right, Evesham," said the
parson. "They can go Into your room,
Tripp, can't they?"
Tripp, jumping up with alacrity, led
the way to his tobacco-scented little
sanctum.
"Sit down, Susannah," said the doc
tor, kindly. "Now don't be flurried.
You have heard this offer; It seems
a good one for you. But don't say
'Yes' If you'd rather not. Just think
It over a "little."
He turned his back on her, nnd, go
ing over to the mantelpiece, examined
a quaint old china group of nn Eng
lishman, Scotchman and Irishman,
seated together, entitled "Auld hong
Sync." A long silence followed; then
Susannah spoke. She hnd a remarka
bly sweet, soft voice, and the doctor
looked round quickly.
"If I do sny 'Yes,' Dr. Evesham," she
said, tremblingly, "it will be because
you wish me to; for no other rea
son." She rnised her eyes to him as she
spoke. They were beautiful eyes, and
sent a thrill through the medical offi
cer. "I wish you to say 'Yes?' " he ex
claimed, coming towards her.
"You have been so good to me; you
saved my life when I first came here.
I should never have recovered but for
your care and attention. I always feel"
she clasped her hands tightly together
"you nre the only friend I have, and
'there is nothing I would not do for
your sake."
The passionate warmth of her tone
startled Dr. Evesham. He caught both
the hands with which, nshamcd of her
freedom, she was about to cover her
face, and said, tenderly: "My poor
girl! Then you shall never sny 'Yes'
to this offer!"
The board was waxing impntient, nnd
the squire nnd parson had almost
broken their long friendship over the
prize "gate-post" mangolds, when Dr.
Evesham returned with Susannah
West.
"Well, doctor, I hope you hnve
brought the young woman to see rea
son," said the former.
"I hope so," replied the doctor, dryly.
"Has she said 'Yes,' then?" asked
the squire and the butcher in a breath.
"She has to me, gentlemen," said Dr.
Evesham, reddening. "I am going to
marry her myself!" Chambers Journal.
FRENCHMEN DON'T TRAVEL
BMaaat The Have nn Innate Horror
f Any thlnx I.I Ue 'Itonuh-Ina-
It."
If. Bonvalto, the distinguished ex
plorer, Is constantly exhorting his fellow-countrymen
to truvel, and his ap
peals are once more leading to a re
view of the reasons which render the
average Uaul so uverse to adventure
beyond his own frontier, says the Lon
don Telegraph. How does it hnppen,
it Is asked, that so few, even of the
younger generation of Frenchmen, dis
play any Inclination to see the world,
although at their uge, many Anglo
Saxons have already been round it?
Two main explanations for these
stay-at-home propensities nrc volun
teered. One is that people in France
rarely trouble themselves to learn for
eign languages, so that they are like
fish out of water when they go abroad,
Another is thut they arc absolutely ig
norant of the practical side of travel
and have little idea of the articles that
they require or of the best mode of
fitting themselves out for u long jour
ney. In short, they are not handy or
enterprising and have a horror of any
thing In the shape of "roughing it,"
as the saying goeB.

1,000,000 GIVEN AWAY.
By a special and particular m range-
nient with the manufacturers of Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,

citie for the Kidneys, Liver. Bladder
and Blood, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia
and Constipation, will be sent abso
lutely free, postpaid, to all persons
suffering from any of the diseases
mentioned above who will send their

ATION, Rondout, N. Y.. providing
you mention the Post when you

A very simple test to determine
whether your Kidneys or Bladder are
dissased is to put some of your urine
in a glass tuiublesvand let it stand 24
hours ; if It has a sediment or a
cloudy, ropy or stringy appearance,
if it is" pale or ditcolored, you do not
need a physician to tell you that yon
are in h dangerous condition. Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
speedily cures suob serious symptoms
as a pain In the back. Inability to
hold urine, a burning scalding pain in
passing it. Frequent desire to urinate
especially at night, the staining of
linen by your urine and all unpleaa
ant and dangerous effects produced
on the system by the use of whiskey
and beer.
By a searching investigation it was
found that over 91 per cent, of tbe
people who sent for a sample bottle
were so much benefitted by Its use
that they purchased a large sized bot
tle from their druggist, which Inmost
cases cured them, while in some rare
lustences it took as many as two or
even three bottles to effect a perma
nent cure.
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem
edy is sold by all druggists at 1,00
per large bottle, or tlx bottles for $6.
