Over the range— Bohemia bleat; while the sun's sandulec feet Btill circle afar in their flery beat Through dust und heat By the marts of men. Here the gold anc blue; And the star-strewn ways are our ways, and you And I will forget toil's pitiless rods; Aye, forget, while we drink the wine of tin gods, P'or the grapes are sweet. Over the rango In peak-sentineled purks, by dim-aisled groveß, We lay down our lives and lift up lost loves, 0 doar heartsease! We kiss them swift, for these dreams are brief As the breeze that fondles the falling leaf. They vanish away as the red rivers run Thro' tangled hills to the fugitive sun By the sunset sens. Over the range— The purpling peaks—when our dole is done; Our locks grown gray 'neath an olden suu— Life's love grown strange. We will close the book that is read, and hence, With holy hands, we will pitch white tents By shimmering streams on a shadowy shore And wake from idyllic dreams no more Over the range. —[Tom H. Cannon, in Chicago Times. A MMM DECEPTION. BY D. J. FINLAY. Moonlake cottage had boon untenanted for two years, and as a matter of course the subject was a theme of gossip. Everybody wondered why the heir to the property did not make his appearance. Of course there was no particular reason why a man could not leave his house shut up while he amused himself elsewhere, but that did not satisfy Mrs. Forrester, for this estimable lady tried in various ways to solve the mystery. "My dear," she said to her husband, one evening after she had returned from a call upon the Septon family, "I have • news for you. I have just heard that an old housekeeper has arrived at Moonlake and has taken charge of the house." "Well, there is nothiug wonderful about thut. It is quite a common thing for a man to send his servants to clean his house before he comes to take up his abode in it," said Mr. Forrester to his better half. "How stupid men are! To my mind it is a very unusuul occurrence, and I am sure there is some mystery attached to it. Why should Mr. Walpole remain in Florida for two years after the death of his auit, who left him heir to her property? lam going over to see the old housekeeper in the morning, and if I don't find out something from her then my name is not Amanda Forrester." Faithful to her promise she walked j over to the cottage after breakfast next ! morning, but failed to elicit the desired information from Mrs. Jones. "Indade, ma'am, I can tell no more ! about it than yersclf. The gintleman I that hired mo is the agent, and ho towld me to clauo up the place and kape it in good orther. He said the masther might cum soon, but that ho didn't know for sure." This was the substance of what Mrs. ' Forrester gathered from Mrs. Joues, who, I it will he seen, was a native of the Emerald Isle, and had tact enough to keep a secret. For some time after this affairs went on in the usual quiet way, and Moonlake was allowed to rest in peace. The neighboring houses were soon filled with gay summer boarders, and as Mrs. Forrester had all she could accom modate she refrained from instituting any further inquiries concerning the missing heir. It was nothing unusual for the Forres ters to have hoarders during the summer months, but Mr. Forrester never liked to have strangers in the house, as ho always found that his home oomiorts grew grad ually less in proportion to the number of guests. Ho did not usually complain, however, but oil this occasion he had a long and rather spirited conversation with his wife on the subject. "Now, my dear Amanda," said lie one morning niter ho hud come down u little later than usuul, and consequently hud to bo content with n cold breakfast, 4 '! j tell you plainly that this is the lust year we will be annoyed in this way. it is ' perfectly preposterous, and 1 will not stand it another season." If it happened that .Mrs. Forrester was in ill humor on this particular morning of course there would have been a slight family quarrel; but, fortunately, on this occasion she knew just what to say in order to sootbo her husband's temper. "Now, my dear," said she, "I know, as well as you do, the number of discom forts to which wo have to submit, but I think, for Ella's sake, wo ought to bear it gracefully. She is Our only child, and we have no right to keep her shut up in the house without over seeing company." "Oh, no, of course wo ought to con sider our daughter's prospects," said Mr. Forrester, "and I think she is consider ing her own, too, if I am any judge of human nature. She seems to he very fund of entertaining Goruld Manstield and lb'iihen Faircliff." "Well, I dare say Ella likes to have compliments from young gentlemen, and 1 did, too, when I was her age," said she. , with a smile which mado the old gentle-1 man wince, for ho had not quite lost his j memory regarding her young days. ] "But," she added, "I have no idea of letting her become attached to any gen tleman yet awhile, as I have other views of a husband for her. 1 think that if Mr. Walpole would come and take up bis abodeat Moonlako cottage he would make a very good husband for Ella; that is, if she liked him, and it is very proba ble she would, judging from all 1 have heard of his fine appearance and prepos sessing manner." Mr. Forrester laughed good-naturedlv at his wife's imaginative turn of mind, and having lighted a cigar he went out to take his usual walk after breakfast, per fectly satisfied to leave the care of the house to his wife. The suspicious Mr. Forrester enter tained in respect to Gerald Mansfield's attentions to Ella were, indeed, well founded, ns a clone observer mighi imagine, seeing them together on thii particular morning, j j They had gone out for a row on the _ lake, and seemed to be enjoying the so ciety of each other very much, hooking at them now, as they are un ■ j dor the simile of the large trees which skirted the laAe, it would be hard to find a more perfect type of physical beauty than each possessed. Mr. Mansfield was a man of fine per sonal appearance, and had all the cul ture and refinement of a true gentle man. Miss Forrester was decidodly good ' looking; a blonde in every sense of the term, but not what is vulgarly called "a washed-out blonde," for she had all the bloom and freshness of a country girl l< * accustomed to plenty of fresh air and exercise. d "That is a decidedly old-fashioned cottage," said Mr. .Mansfield, as they came in sight of Mr. Wa I pole's place; 10 "do you know the history of it, Miss For rester?" "Oh, yes," said she, "but I don't sup pose it would be of much interest to you. I belive the man who built it was an old •d Knglish gentleman who took a fancy to the situation and bought the place. It a was said that he lived a rather reckless life and killed himself by high living. The property then descended from 0110 - e to another, and now it belongs to a young gentleman whose namo is Walpole. It lias been vacant for some time, and no body seems to know anything about the present owner." "That is rather a strange history," said he, "and it has aroused my curiosi ty. I would like to havo a look at the <dd place some day if you will act us companion and guide." " I think I would make a poor guide," j said Ella, " but I will go, nevertheless, if it is any pleasure to you." " Thank you," he replied ; " anything in which you aro concerned cannot fail to 0 have an interest and pleasuro for me ; therefore if it is convenient for you we will go to-morrow afternoon." This arrangement, and a few others of a similar nature being amicably settled they returned to the house, and were sur prised to find the family wuiting supper ' for them, as it was long past their tea hour. That evening was rather an unpleasant one for Mr. Mansfield, ns thero was no opportunity for him to spend it with Ella. Company had arrived, and she was obliged to entertain them, although if the ' truth must he told she would much rather have been otherwise employed. | Mr. Mansfield being thus thrown upon his own resources went out for a quiet stroll. The night was fino and bright, and as ho walked along his thoughts were of the beautiful girl who had been the bright star of his life since ho caino to Moonlake. "Ah!" he thought, "what if it bo hut a pleasant dream after all? Perhaps she | entertains nothing for me more than mere friendship, and then all my bright visions of future happiness will bo gone. The air castle which fancy has built for mo may ho dashed to the ground by cruel reality." After walking some distance in quiet thoughtfulness he came to some definite understanding with himself, and being tolerably well satisfied with his plans for the future returned to the houso and soon retired for the night. Next day Mr. Mansfield reminded Ella of her promise to visit Moonlake cottage, and shortly after lunch they set out to storm "Mrs. Jones' castle," as it was called since the old housekeoper had taken up her abode there. "I think we shall have some difficulty ! to convince Mrs. Jones that we are not j going to carry off the house," said Ella, j as they came in sight of Moonlake. "If so," he replied, "wo must soften 1 her anxiety by rewarding the old hulv l for her trouble. It is quite possible i that Mrs. Jones has a little of the weak | ness which most housekeepers have un der similar circumstances." I In answer to a loud knock at the door Mrs. Jones made her appearance, and greeted the strangers very cordially. "Mrs. Jones," said Mr. Mansfield, "have you any objection' 4 to allowing us t J the privilege of spending an hour in your i cottage? Wo have quite a curiosity to t see the place." "Oh, sure ve are heartily welcome, sir, and the young lady. too. Indade I am 1 only sorry that tho house is not cleaner s than it is, but such as it is ye aro tliruly welcome to it from ton to bottom, and : d° n t be at all miaisy about the throublo. r t Sure it's glad 1 am to bo able to give ye I liberty to go wherever ye plase, sir." I " 1 hank you, Mrs. Jones; lam sure r your kindness is all wo could wish." } I Mrs. Jones was as good as her word, B and they had ample opportunity to see 1 J tho houso under her supervision. The P I droll manner in which she entertained them while opening tho several rooms [ for their inspection was, indeed, a treat i I in itself, and they left the house pcr ( fectly satisfied with Mrs. Jones ami the rest of the curiosities of Moonlake cot tage. After leaving the cottage they wan dered through the grounds, ehatting guy ly about the scenery. But Mr. Mansfield had not suggested this excursion merely for the purpose of seeing the old cottage. Ho conducted Ella to a quiet little summer-house which was close to the lake and commanded a beautiful view of the water, then seating himself close beside her he revealed the secret of the visit to this romantic old place. It is needless to say by what process of argument he won Ella's trust in his sin cerity; but in a very short time she was folded in the arms of her gallant and truthful lover. 41 And now, my darling Ella," said lie, . 14 I have a surprise in store for you. My name is not Mausfiold, as I have led you I to believe, and 1 trust you will forgive I the deception when I have time to ex- 1 plain. I purposely concealed the fact of iny wealth, that I might win a woman who could love me for myself alone. This property belongs to me, and I am Alfred Walpole, at your service." The surprise did not affect Ella enough J to cause a reaction in her feelings toward ; her lover, and they returned to her I father s house as happy as mortals can j be in this wicked world, j When Mr. and Mrs. Forrester wore ap i prised of the state of affairs they gave their consent with good grace. It is to lc supposed that the property question hud something to do with their part of the programme, but then I dure say the | reader will not hlaine them much for that, as it is a part of the depravity of human nature. —[New York Weekly.

A CITY OF PALACES. A Glance at London in the Middle Ages. You have now to learn, what I believe no one has yet pointed out, that if Lon don could be called a city of churches, it was much more a city ot palaces. There wore, in fact, in London itself moro pal aces than in Verona and Florence und Venice and Genoa all together. There was not, it is true, a line of marble pa lazzi along the bunks of a Grand Ca nal; there was no Piazza della Signoria, no Piazza dell' Erbe, to show these build ings. They were scattered about ail over the city; they were built without regard to general effect, and with no idea of decoration or picturesqueness; j they lay hidden in tho labyrinthine streets; the warehouses stood beside and i between them; the common people dwelt in narrow courts around them; they I faced each other on opposite sides of ; tho lanes. These palaces belonged to the groat nobles and were their town houses; they wejre capacious enough to accommodate the whole of a Huron's retinue, consist ing sometimes of four, six, or even eight hundred men. Let us remark that the continual presence of these lords and those following did much more for tho city than merely to add to its splendor by the erecting of great houses. By their presence they kept the place from becoming merely a trading centre or an aggregate of merchants; they kept the citizens in touch with tho rest of the kingdom; they made tho people of Lon don understand that they belonged to the realm of England. When Warwick, tho Kingmaker, rode through tho streets to his town house, followed by five hun dred retainers in his livery; when King Edward IV. brought wife and children to the city and rode out to fight for his crown; when a royal tournuinent was held in Chepo—the Queen and her ludies looking on—even tho boys understood ' that there was more in the world than mere buying and selling, importing and exporting; that everything must not bo measured by profit; that they were traders, indeed, and yet subjects of an ancient crown; that their own prosperity stood or fell with tho well-doing of the country. This it was which made the Londoners ardent politicians from very early times; they knew the party leaders; they felt bound to take a side; and they quickly perceived that their own side always won, which gratified their pride. In a word, the presence in their midst of king and nobles made them look beyond their walls. London was never a Ghent; nor was it a Venice. It was never Lon don for itself against tho world, but always London for England first, and for its own interests next.—[Harper's Maga zine. A Hmkemnii's Jtapid Hide. Frank Hisbee, a brakemun on tho New York, New Haven and HartfordKailroud, took the fastest ride he will probably take in this world the other afternoon. He rode on the top of a freight car from Haydenvillc, Mass., to Hospital Hill, Northampton, a distance of six miles, in five minutes. Tho car was "kicked" down the line, but went too far and ' struck the down grade. Hisbee put on the brake, but it did not hold and the car dashed over the rails at a frightful speed. At one time, when the car had not reached its fastest rate, tho express on tho other line ran by its sido for a short distance, hut the car, with its solitary passenger, soon left it behind and did not slack up until near Florence, where there is a slight up grade, and Hisbee, as ho neared it, prayed that it would stop his dangerous ride. Hut up the hill wont tho runaway and then down the other side, where thero is a down grade of sixty feet to tho mile as far as Northampton. Tho people stand ing at I lie depot held their breath and opened their eyes with surprise as tho car, now going at the rate of moro than a mile a minute, ran by. Hisbee, who was standing and clinging to the brake wheel, waved his hand to his brother, who is baggagemaster at the canul depot, and who, as he saw the terrible peril his bro ther was in, dropped his baggage and . started down the track after the car. A . mile further was Hospital Hill, and the I agitated baggagemaster breathed more freely as ho saw the runaway begin to 1 slack up and in a few moments come to a standstill, while his brother quickly de scended from the roof unhurined. —[New Orleans Picayune. Island Customs. Natives of the Muldive Islands hold to certain ways of domestic life that to us seem decidedly unsociable. To eat alone insures their highest idea of happiness; to retire into the most secluded corner of their homes, to draw down the cloths serving us blinds, that there he no loop hole through which an outsider might peer in. is essential to their pleasure while refreshing the inner man. One writer suggests that such cuution may arise from fear of enemies prowling about; possibly, says another, lest incan tations, rudely traced in hieroglyphic touch, be cast upon their food, or, by some wild-wood tramp, rites of hospitality he demanded at their hands. In the hitter case the interloper would probably be an inferior, and to break bread or cat suit with any one beneath the host in rank, riches, or dignity is among theso peculiar people an utter impossibility. Philippine Islanders are quite the re verse; sociability is their very life, and hearty companionship at meal-times the height of pleasure; if no person is near, search will bo made in haste, for, how ever hungry the savage may be, he will not eat ulone. 1) Israeli says that the Otahoitenns are naturally social in feeling, and oven gen tle in their intercourse with one another.

The cele brated Dr. Arnott relates the following circumstance us a practical proof of this assertion: —A ship was once sailing along the coast of Brazil far out of sight of land. Suddenly several of the crew while walking along the deck noticed that when passing and repassing a particular spot they always heard with great dis tinctness the sound of bells chiming sweet music, as though being rung but a short distance away. Dumbfounded by this phenomenon they quickly commuui cuted the discovery to their mates, hut none of them were able to solve the enig ma as to the origin of those seemingly mysterious sounds. Several months afterward, upon re turning to Brazil, some of the listeners j determined to satisfy their curiosity. Accordingly they mentioned the circum | stance to their friends, uud were informed that at the time when the sounds were heard the hells in the cathedral of St. I Salvador, on the coast had been ringing to celebrate a feast held in honor of one of the saints. Their sound, wonderful to relate, favored by u gentle, steady breeze, had traveled a distance of upward of one hundred miles over the smooth water and had been brought to a focus by the sails at the particular locality iu which the sweet sounds were first heard. This is but one of scverul instances of a similar kind, trustworthy authorities claiming that it Ims often happened un der somewhat similar circumstances.— [Detroit Free Press.

In the matter of the cherries he was especially troubled, as he did not know in the least what was the proper method of disposing of the stones when once the fruit had passed his lips. Ho decided, therefore, that be fore ho attempted to eat any of the luscious looking fruit he would wait and see what his young and beautiful hostess did in this delicate manner.
