FLOW ON, SWIFT STREAM.
Flow on, swift stream, amid the flowers.
Flow on and dance with joy.
And tell me of the happy hours
When I vrns yet a boy.
I watched thee with the loved ones then.
Now all alone I come again
To wander by the river;
And I am old and they are gone.
Hut it unchanged is gliding on
As young and bright as ever.
Unchanged it seems, yet who can stay
The water's ceaseless motion?
The little waves of yesterday
Today have reached the ocean;
Uumarked, unmissed, they swiftly fly.
Unmarked, uumissed, we, too, must die.
And leave the mighty river.
Where youth and joy and love and strife.
And all the various modes of life,
Flow on unchanged forever.
—W. E. H. Lecky in Loudon Spectator.
f CLEVER AUNT KATE.
"It ain't no use in agoin agin your pa,
Jennio—he's had his own way 'round
here continual for more'n thirty years,
an you'll jest hev to give in; no use
talk in at him. 'T only make him wuss."
Poor little Mrs. Olcott had been ac
customed during the whole of her mar
ried life to 4 'jest give in," and her only
chance of peace was in yielding to her
selfishly determined husband and allow
ing him to carry his point without op
position.
Jennie was differently constituted.
She inherited her father's strong will
and he had, much to his surprise, sud
denly discovered an opposing force in
his youngest child.
She had been away from home for
nearly three years—this pretty brown
haired girl with the determined face and
t graceful carriage, and the father secretly
admired and almost feared her.
A wealthy and childless aunt in the
city had besought Jennie to share her
home, and Hiram Olcott's pretty daugh
ter, though clinging to the farm with
all its dear memories of childhood and
childhood's joys, chose wisely when she
yielded to her aunt's request.
It was better, far better for her, for
even after her departure there were
plenty of children to keep the miserly
old farmer in a perpetual grumble about
money matters.
It was May and the country wore one
glad smile, and Jennie hailed with de
light the prospect of a visit to her home,
assuming very willingly the responsi
bility of housekeeping while her two
unmarried sisters attended the wedding
of a cousin in a distant town.
This morning she was cooking, and
with her sleeves rolled above her elbows
' stood beside the kitchen table. In one
hand she held an earthen plate, while
the clip, clip, clip of a fork sounded
noisily as she whipped some eggs to a
froth.
44 Yer sisters lied to marry to suit him,"
wailed the nervous little woman, "an
you'll have to too; ef you don't there be
awful fusses, so you'd jes' better give in."
That morning the father had spoken
to Jennie of a young farmer, whom he
termed a 4 'likely catch." She had ex
pressed her opinion of him in so decided
away as to alarm Mr. Olcott for the
safety of his much prized authority.
He was wont to speak of himself as a
marvelous example of the patriarch.
"Make 'em mind," lie would say. "Keep
yer household beneath your feet; govern
'em well, an they'll git along."
Jennie's boldness in opposing his judg
ment so stupelied him that his anger had
not yet haul time to blazo forth, but Mrs.
' Olcott knew it would come, and so after
her husband haid left the kitchen she
pleaded with the girl to "give in." Jen
nie had been very thoughtful during the
little woman's apjaeal, but now she was
resolved, and it was the Olcott in her
nature which spoke. "I wouldn't marry
Jordan Moggs though father should
threaten to murder me."
The eggs were stiff now, and as she
set the plate down on the table she turned
from her mother and busied herself
among the ingredients for cake baking
which were before her. Jennie was
blushing as she began softly, 4 'There is
some one in Poole I like very much,
mother, and he's coming out here too."
"He needn't mind comin," said Farmer
Olcott grimly, as he quietly stepped into
the kitchen. His face wore a cunning
leer, ami his wind reddened cheeks were
distorted l>y the sneering curves of his
hard lined mouth.
Seating himself ou one of the painted
' wooden chairs, he drew the bootjack to
ward him and took off his heavy shoes
with a calmness and deliberation which
warned Mrs. Olcott that he was thor
oughly aroused. The j>oor little nervous,
broken spirited woman had learned that
this particularly quiet and inoffensive
1 manner of removing his footgear always
preceded a hurst of passion.
Hiram Olcott set his cowhide boots by
the stoVo to dry, kicked the jack under
the table and, turning toward his daugh
ter, shouted:
"Dou't let mo ketch none o' yor city
fellers comin to see you. Ef they do I'll
talk to 'em; not a word now," he growled,
shaking his long finger menacingly at
Jennie, as she essayed to speak.
"I'm master in my own house and
you'll not talk till such time as I'm done.
You've been away an kinder forgot how
things is run here, but you might as well
get broke in now. I tell you I won't
have any city fellers a-follerin you, and
if I ketch your Aunt Kate makin
matches for you I'll just fetch you home
from bein a fine lady down there and
set you workin."
Before Jennie could si>eak he had gone
into the dining room, slamming the door
behind him.
Tears of mortification and rage stood
in her brown eyes and hot words leaped
to her lips, but as she glanced down at
the agonized face of the little woman
beside her the fierce mood clianged.
She bent to kiss the pain drawn lips,
murmuring, "Never mind, mother dear;
I'll be patient for your sake."
"That's a good girl, Jennie," replied
Mrs. Olcott with a sigh of relief; "try
and git along peaceable like, an jes' give
in for the sake of quiet. Yer pa's gettin
wuss and wuss."
Jennie wrote a partial account of what
had occurred to her Aunt Kate, and
this was the answer of that clever
woman:
"MY DEAR NIECE— Your father needs
managing and I will undertake to do it.
I have written to him to come down to
the city and advise me about the sale of
a piece of property, and you need not
be surprised at anything that happens."
Mrs. Kate Calding was the only one
in the world who ever did understand
her brother Hiram, and she had planned
a clever little ruse to be played on the
unsuspecting fanner.
Mr. Bryan, whom Jennie had con
fessed to her mother she cared a great
deal for, was well suited to her. He had
not yet declared his love, but it was not
nnguessed by the shrewd little maiden.
To Mrs. Calding, however, he had
opened his heart, and she bade him wait
a little. She knew how prejudiced her
brother was against all arrangements
not conducted by himself, and rightly
concluded that he might put serious dif
ficulty in the way of the young people.
After satisfying herself that the name
of Jennie's lover was quite unknown to
her brother, she resolved to introduce
him as u young man who would be a
good match for Jennie, if only the girl
would be wise enough to think so. Al
lowing him to believe they had never
met, she trusted to his unequaled ob
stinacy to do the rest.
"I've wanted so much to talk with
you about Jennie," said the lady, as she
and Hiram sat in her well appointed
dining room the night of the arrival.
"Yes, and I'm willin. She ought to
be settled," said the old man decidedly.
"It does not do, Hiram," began Mrs.
Calding, watching the hard lined face
intently, "to depend on a girl's choice,
and"
"Well, I guess it don't," he interrupted
with a sneer.
"There is a young man in town who, I
know, admires Jennie, and if he should
meet her I know something would come
of it." Very quietly, yet with the
utmost caution she made this statement.
The old man was interested. "Rich,"
he inquired, rubbing his hands gently
together.
"Yes," was the answer; then she went
on:
"Of course, it's so very uncertain,
Hiram. You see, Jennie might refuse
to have a word to Bay to him and"
"Now, Kate, look here," interrupted
the thoroughly excited old man, as he
drew his chair nearer hers and empha
sized his words with decisive gestures,
"ef I like that young man I'll just take
him on home with me, an I'd like to see
Jennie tell him to go if I'm livin."
Mrs. Calding was delighted at her suc
cess thus far. The next day Mr. Bryan
was introduced, and became the old
man's ideal of a son-in-law.
On the farmer's return to his home
Mr. Bryan accompanied him, having ac
cepted the hearty invitation of his now
friend to "jest run out and take a look
around our part of the country."
Jennie hail been apprised of Mr. Bry
an's coming and of the little deception
in which she was to play her part. She
met him as if he were a stranger, while
her father secretly rejoiced at the
thought of subduing his proud young
daughter.
Mr. Olcott took an early opportunity
to enlighten Jennie as to her duty to
ward his new friend, and with a twinkle
in her eye she promised to do her best to
please him in the matter.
A week passed. Jennie and Mr. Bry
an were very happy. TJie days were
delightful ones to them, and the old
farmer rubbed his hands at the success
of his scheme and gave his consent to
uu early marriage with no hesitation.
He often speaks now of his match
making. "There's Jennie," ho will say.
"She'd hev picked up with some empty
noddled city chap ef I hadn't just took
her in hand. I brung Bryan out an told
her that she'd got to behave to him. It'B
the only way to do—jest make 'em mind
and they'll git along."
They would not deceive him for any
thing—the liappy young couple—but
when he boasts they think with loving
gratitude of clever Aunt Kate.—Drake's
Magazine.
A Man of Adventure.
John Switzler, who now lives within
one mile of Pendleton, thirty-eix years
ago saved the lives of thirty persons at
the Cascades, on the north side of the
Columbia river, at a place at that time
called the Upper Cascades. John is now
old and well wearied with years. But
then he was a young man and after
making thirty persons safe he ran the
gantlet for a mile with other parties,
some of whom were wounded, while
others were killed by the Yakima and
Klikitat Indians. Yet he arrived at the
fort safe and sound and in time to care
for the wounded in the fort, where
twelve soldiers were imprisoned three
days and nights.—East Oregonian.
Au Elephantine Nurse.
Miss C. F. Qordon-Cummiug, in her
book on Ceylon, gives a few lines to a
pet elephant, who seems to huve been a
creature of much amiability and intelli
gence. He had been captured young,
and was known as Kurunegalla Jack.
He used to go the hospital rounds with
his master, a medical officer, who had
taught him to be generally useful, and
even to administer pills. A Malay soldier
one day dropped his pill, whereupon
Jack picked it up and dropped it into
the uutn's open mouth, with u puff that
blew it safely down.
A Lunatic's Advice.
Mr. Lionel Brough once played a game
of billiards in an asylum with one of the
patients. He couceded his adversary
twenty-five points, with the result that
he was hopelessly beaten. Then the
patient took him quietly on one sido and
said:
"Look here, if you go on giving points
so reckless as that, you'll be in this asy
lum instead of me!"— London Tit-Bits.

Knew He Wan Going.
"I'm only a tramp," said a little, with
ered old man early yesterday morning
in the Mulberry street police station,
"but please let me stop here. I've
walked a great deal. I'm footsore and
weary. 1 won't be a bother much
longer. I'll soon throw in my checks."
He had the pallor of death.
"I never take in any one at 3 in the
morning," kindly replied Sergeant Hor
belt, "bat I'll make an exception in your
rase. Poor fellow, yon look played out."
Yesterday morning Policeman Crough
m took the old man, who gave the name
of John Irving, to the Tombs police
court. He wanted to be committed to
the workhouse.
"The top o' th' morning, yer honor,"
he said to Justice Duffy. "This'll be th'
last time 111 bother ye. Give me a g '1
long sentence."
The justice, however, did not fix any
specified time. Under the commitment
the old man could get his liberty when
he wanted it.
"Take your time," said the policeman,
as he assisted Irving down the winding
flight of stairs leading into the prison.
"My wife!" gasped the old man down
stairs.
By this time they had reached the
warden's office, where the pedigrees of
the prisoners are taken anew.
"Well, what's the matter with your
wife?" asked a keeper.
"She's in heaven!" replied the tramp.
The next instant he fell back dead into
the policeman's arms. New York

Came from Cuba to Vote.
The last vote deposited in Rhode Is
land at the recent election was the vote
of Eugene McAnliffe, of Providence.
The gentleman was in Cuba when he re
ceived a cablegram telling him of the
nrgent necessity for every vote. Con
sulting the shipping register, he found
that by taking a steamer which Bailed
that night he might with good weather
reach Boston the day before election.
Two hours later found him aboard the
ship. Adverse weather delayed the ves
sel, and at the dawn of election day the
steamer was still oat in the Atlantic.
Port was reached late in the afternoon,
and McAnliffe was just in time to take a
train to Providence dne just ten minntes
before the time for closing the polls.
The train was four minntes late.
Hurling himself into a hack he bribed
the driver to get to the wardroom in six
minntes or kill the horses. The clock
was about to strike the honr as Mr.
McAuliffo bounded into the booth. His
cross marks were made with lightning
rapidity, and he got in his ballot right
on the last stroke. He will return to
Cuba to complete the business he
dropped to come back to vote. And yet
there were some thousands of people in
Providence who, 1 have no doubt, forgot
to go to the polls or were "too busy" to
give the time required for walking to
the wardroom.—Cor. Boston Globe.
Canoeing In Scotland.
Lord and Lady Mount Stephen, who
have spent very many years in Canada,
have introduced canoeing in Scotland.
They have taken the beautiful estate of
Faskally, Perthshire, belonging to Mrs.
Butler, which comprises a stretch of the
picturesque river, Tummol, which runs
through the Pass of Killiecrankie to
Athole and all that district, and, in order
to explore more fully, Lord Mount
Stephen has brought home a Canadian
canoe and two real Canadian boatmen.
They have already shot some of the
dangerous rapids of the Scotch river, and
been investigating the salmon pools
among the bowlders in otherwise unseen
spots. Lord Mount Stephen intends to
nse his canoe later on for salmon fishing.
The novelty has created a great deal of
interest in the neighborhood, extending
to the dncal party at Blair Athol castle.

Utah's Fir.t Pavements.
After a long fight in the Ogden city
council over the relative merits of sand
stone, brick and asphaltum for Btreet
paving purposes, it has been decided to
use native sandstone from the quarries
a few miles distant from Ogden, and
that only home labor shall be employed
by contract. The district to be paved
includes a number of blocks in the busi
ness part of town, for which paving
bonds are now being negotiated. It will
be the first paving done by this city or
in this territory.—Utah Cor. St. Louis

A Priceless Diamond Found.
A remarkable diamond has been re
cently found on the Koffeyfontein Dia
mond Mining company's ground in Aus
tralia, which appears to be of such value
that even competent judges hesitate to
name a price commensurate with its
worth. It is said to be of a beautiful
shade of pink, entirely devoid of spot or
blemish, and to weigh 13} £ carats.
Natural Gas In Utah.
A flow of natural gas has been struck
at Salt Lake City at a depth of 600 feet,
the pressure being 160 pounds to the

with favorable indications of finding the
gas in considerable quantities.— New

Pig Iron In March.
In the first week in March the iron
furnaces in this country are said to have
produced more pigs—lo3,9oo tons—than
in any previous week in history. One
curious circumstance is that there were
fewer furnaces in blast than in the pre
ceding month.—New York Times.

Tommy'* Wild Run for Life.
Tommy L. Dyer, a fourteen-year-old
boy, of Huiburt, Mich., had an exciting
adventure on Wednesday in which he
narrowly escaped being devoured by a
couple of big gray wolves.
Near the town is a lake of considera
ble extent. G. W. Dyer, father of the
boy, is in charge of Hulburt's lumbering
operations there. At the request of his
son he caused a half mile track to be
cleared on the lake by a snow plow so j
his boy and others could enjoy skating.
Wednesday afternoon Tommy was out
alone at the end of the track farthest
from camp. As it began to grow dark
the boy was about to start for home
when he was startled by thd howl of a
wolf not far off, followed instantly by
another. At the same time two largo
and ferocious timber wolves made their
appearance a short distance away.
The boy, aware that his life was in
danger, at once sought safety in flight.
The ugly brutes, half famished during
the winter and intent on having a feast,
immediately started in pursuit. Fear
lent speed to the flying feet of the fugi
tive, and he raced along with all the
strength he could command. For a
time he distanced his pursuers, but he
soon began to lose his strength, and the
hungry animals were soon close behind,
with their eyes gleaming like coals of
tire and their red tongues hanging out
between cruel, glistening teeth.
The lad continued his exertions, how
ever, calling loudly for help. At last,
feeling the hot breath of the panting
brutes, he was about to give up in de
spair, when George Colvin and Aleck
Stewart, two brawny woodsmen who
were working near, heard the fright
ened cries of the boy and the fierce
howls of the wolves and started to the
rescue. They arrived just in time. An
other minute would have been too late.
The men attacked the brutes with their
axes and drove them away after a strug
gle.—Cor. Chicago Tribune.
Death of a Railroad Dog.
Chippy, a small yellow cur known in
every railroad and newspaper office in
southern California from Santa Bar
bara to San Diego, is dead. He was not
handsome, but he never forgot his
friends, of whom ho had thousands. He
was a great traveler and recently made
a trip from Ventura to Los Angeles on
foot and several trips to San Francisco*
Every conductor on the Santa Fe and j
Southern Pacific passed him and was j
glad to see him jump aboard. He would
go through the train from cab to the
baggage car, and putting his head out
of the door watch the track till his des
tination was reached, which he always
seemed to know. His associates were
exclusively newspaper and railroad men.
With those of his own species he would
have nothing to do. He died on his way
to Tustin to see a conductor he knew.
While looking out of a baggage car he
gave an almost human moan, crawled
on the baggageman's lap and expired,
some thought in a tit, but probably
from poison. He was buried in style at
Tustin, and there were several moist
eyes at the little fellow's funeral.—Phil
adelphia Ledger.
All Old Man and a Still Older Watch.
A hale and hearty old gentleman
named Everett Howard, residing 011
Chelmsford street, visited the city hall
the other afternoon. He exhibited a
curious watch, which he said was 150
years old, made by a man named Howard,
in Liverpool, England.
It has been passed from Howard to
Howard, and keeps excellent time. Ev
erett Howard came to Lowell in 1843
and was married here in 1847, when he
resided on the Merrimack corporation.
Mr. Howard was present at the col
lege in Waterville, Me., when General
Butler graduated. The Howards are a
long lived race, Everett Howard having
a sister aged seventy-six and a brother
aged seventy-eigljt.
He is the youngest of the family.—

The Age of the Playing Card.
Dr. Rudolph Lothan, of Vienna, says
this year "is the fifth century of the
playing card." He says the first game
of cards ever played was tarok or naili,
in which every card was symbolic of "a
phase of life, a degree of knowledge or
one of the powers ruling human exist
ence." One of the pasteboards was
named "II Misero," doubtless our knave,
and was easily involved in all sorts of
unpleasant complications. Tarok has
been .revived in Paris, where the search
for novelties is so resentlessly prosecuted,
even at the expense of the old.
An HuglUh "Home."
It is to be questioned if a scheme
which has just taken practical shape in
London would find a field over here. A
"home" has been established for ladies
deprived of their natural support by
death, the home to be supported by con
tributions which would otherwise be ex
pended in costly funeral flowers. It is
called after the late Duke of Clarence,
whose memory, by the way, is perpetu
ated in so many charitable plans as
must almost be confusing.—Her Point
of View in New York Times.
A New Gun for Rustda.
The "official adoption" by Russia ot

case of the adoption of the system Rus
