"Sunset and evening star.
And one clear call for me;
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When 1 put out to sea."
There was no moaning of the bar.
Oh, singer lost from sight.
When out beyond our evening star,
Death drifted thee to light.
Black was the pilot at the helm;
Dark gloomed the hither shore;
But never wave could overwhelm.
The land that gleamed before.
Beyond these voices there is peace!
Life fills thy cup todayl
From pain and weariness surcease
They find who pass this way!
Oh, laureled at the head and feet!
We cannot call thee dead!
Our hearts repeat thy music sweet.
And wo are comforted.
Margaret E. Songster in Harper's Bazar.
A FAMILY FEUD.
Those two rival families repeated on a
small scale the discords of the Mon
tagues and Capulets, only, with due re
gard to the civilization of the times, in
stead of spilling blood, they spilled
money. Instead of dead relatives, there
had been many lawsuits, long and en
tangled; they went to law for spite, for
resentment, for anger; they kept at law
with that obstinate delight in litigation
which is one of the joys of provincial
life. As usual it was a question of
trifles—a stream of water that had taken
a wrong direction: an unruly goat that
had leaped from the field of one into the
field of the other; some obscure and
stupid potatoes which, spreading them
selves underground, had disregarded the
boundaries.
Upon this showered legal documents.
The lawyers toiled to write in that style
of theirs—the last relic of barbarous in
vasions; judgments were multiplied;
lawsuits grow complicated. The two
advocates rubbed their hands for joy,
and from the aspect of things were sure
of transmitting, as a valuable inheri
tance, those quarrels to their sons. How
the enmity between Pasquali and the
Dericca families had been caused could
not be clearly learned; affirmation va
ried on one and the other side. But it
was a deep and declared enmity.
Being neighbors in town and in the
country they frequently met, looking
askance at each other; the women
heard mass in two different churches; if
the Dericca girls wore blue gowns the
Pasquali girls at once put on pink ones;
in the municipal council the Pasquali
were always conservative and the
Dericca, naturally, radical; that which
one did the other would not do for a
thousand scudi; where one went the
other did not appear. And then gossip,
evil speaking, complaints, eagerness for
scandal, malignity;in short, all that out
fit of pleasing things which take place
in provincial towns between two rival
families. On the top of all this Carlo, the
eldest son of the Pasquali, and Maria,
the second daughter of the Dericca,
thought it best to fall in love with each
other.
Love in a small town has not much
variety. Usually it begins in childhood,
continues amid games of blindman's
buff, is apt to manifest itself in social
dancing parties and round games and is
always ratified by the parish priest and
the major. These loves are recognized,
superintended, established, registered in
the household comings and goings: pro
tected by grumbling grandfathers and
by priestly uncles; loves without nerves,
without tears, without tendernesses and
fancies; something extremely calm and
slow—the crystallization of love. But
Carlo Pasquali had had the incompara
ble fortune to pass, once, a fortnight at
Naples, which made him look with scorn
upon provincial customs; and Maria
Dericca at night, by feeble lamp,
had wept over the hapless heroines
of Mastriani, and had envied them in
their fantastic passions; therefore for
these two was required an exceptional
love. First it was a furtive glance; a
softly murmured word, yet heard with
singular perception by her who should
hear it; a carnation pink fallen from a
balcony by reason of the wind of course;
a sudden pallor of his, a sudden blush
of hers; then, by the armed intervention
of a rogue of a fifteen-year-old girl who
came with a flatiron to smooth Maria's
linen and the course of true love at the
same time—a note and a brief reply; a
little letter, a long letter, and linally
those voluminous epistles of eight or ten
sheets of note paper which mark the
highest point of the folly of love.
Alas! The joy of the young people
was brief, and sorrow rapidly arrived to
destroy it. They were seen, spied, the
news reached their respective papas, and
all the thunderbolts of paternal wrath,
imbittered by eleven lawsuits, fell upon
the heads of the poor lovers. The bal
cony windows were closed, the bolts
were fastened on the terrace doors, the
carnation pinks on the bush wero count
ed, walks were forbidden, or at least
made without previous notice, the hour
of going to mass varied each Sunday—
but those two continued to love each
other.
Rebuffs, exhortations, prohibitions,
difficulties availed only to inflame their
love. At night, in the winter, Maria
arose, dressed herself, wrapped herself
in a shawl, and in slippers, with bated
breath, trembling for fear, descended
the stairs to a window of the first floor;
the young friend was in the street, lean
ing against the wall. So they talked
for two or three hours without caring
for the cold, the rain or the loss of sleep;
they talked without seeing each other,
from a distance of five meters of alti
tude, becoming silent at every sound
of a passer, then cautiously resuming
their discourse, with the continual fear
that Maria's parents might arouse and
find her in that aerial colloquy.
But what did it all matter to them?
They had within their hearts suiißhine,
light, springtime, courage, enthusiasm.
If the kin had come they would not
have moved. Instead, the brother of
Maria, one night when he could not
sleep, arose from his bed and found the
door ajar, went down the stairs, heard
a murmur, and caught his sister in the
act. He *r ceremoniously barred ths
shutters in the face of Carlo, gave Maria
a resounding box on the ear, and brought
her to her room. Next morning the
small window on the first floor was
walled up.
Oh, all ye faithful lovers, who grieve
amid the pains of thwarted love, imagine
the despair of those two! Their letters
were no longer legible, for tears blotted
the words; rows of exclamation points,
that looked like Prussian soldiers under
arms, followed the daily imprecations
against fortune, destiny, fate and other
impersonal beings incapable of resenting
them; a thousand fantastic plans were
created and then rejected. Carlo would
have liked to elope with Maria, but his
father allowed him no money, and it
would have been difficult to put together
the nine lire and fifty centesimi for two
tickets for the journey to Naples; they
thought for a moment of suicide, but
found that it would not solve the diffi
culty. Then, in the long run, their love
became systematic, the imprecations
were always the same, and they could
not go to their beds without having
"poured forth upon the faithful paper
the fullness of their grief."
In the town nothing was talked of but
their unshakable love and their torments;
they were the objects of general inter
est; if a Neapolitan arrived, the towns
folk took him to see the ruins of the
amphitheater, and related the case of
Carlo and Maria. Therefore the young
>eople, flattered in their amour propre,
assumed the behavior fitting to the cir
cumstances—Maria was always pale,
with a melancholy air, never smiling,
always talking to her girl friends about
her joyless days, refusing to amuse her
self, content to resemble in all respects
one of Mastriani's heroines.
Carlo took lonely walks, was always
deeply depressed; at balls, he never
moved out of a corner, content that they
murmured around him, "Poor young
man; that unfortunate love affair sad
dens his life!" In society, at small fes
tivities, in visits, with the unwarying
monotony of the proviuce, the discourse
always returned upon the subject of the
two lovers. Carlo and Maria bore with
dignity the burden of their popularity.
Finally, after 1 don't know how many
years—four or five, it seems to me—of
this coutinual struggle, of daily weep
ing, of long, long love maintained alive
by dissensions, the aspect of things
changed. There was a worthy person
there still are such—who with many ef
forts of eloquence persuaded the parents
that by the lawsuits they were losing
property and much of it, as witness the
two advocates who had grown rich at
the expense of their clients; that those
two young people were pining and would
go into a decline because of that thwart
ed love; the houses were side by side
and the estates contiguous; Christ for
gave, and they must forgive if they
wished to find forgiveness. He said so
much and so many other persons, moved
by the example, interposed that the
questions came to a compromise which
had as its first chapter the marriage of
Carlo and Maria.
Here, surely, every one will suppose
that the young people were greatly con
soled, and will suppose truly—but my
obligation as a sincere story teller con
strains me to say that in their first free
colloquy reigned a great embarrassment.
They were accustomed to see each other
at a distance by stealth; to, speak from
a first floor window down to the street
in the darkness, disguising or smother
ing their voices; they found themselves
quite different, perhaps a little ridicu
lous; they had no subjects of conversa
tion, they were often silent, hastening
in their thoughts the hour when they
should quit each other.
There were no more imprecations and
tears to be mingled with the ink; thoy
no longer wrote to each other. Every
thing was free, smooth, easy for their af
fection; they were not obliged to think
of subtleties by which to evade the vigi
lance of their elders; they took no more
pleasure in murmuring a few words in
secret; they made no more daring proj
ects for the future. They would be
married prosaically, without obstacles,
like so many other silly couples. The
townsfolk no longer took thought of
them; the wonder and the comments Qn
the marriage once over, Carlo and Mariu
no longer awoke attention, wero no
longer talked about; their behavior was
noted no more; they ceased to be point
ed out as an example of fidelity. Now
all eyes were fixed on the eyes of the
pretor, who was accused of too great
partiality for the vice attorney—a seri
ous piece of business.
The two lovers felt themselves for
saken —a great coolness arose between
them. Carlo found that the virtues of
his fiancee, those virtues which shone in
her letters, were dimmed by the atmos
phere of home. Maria frequently thought
that Carlo was rather commonplace in
his tastes, and to that end, with a stupid
marriage, so tempestuous a love was un
worthy a reader of Mastriani. A few
lively remarks passed between them in
regard to "illusions contradicted by the
reality," about "mirages," "optical de
lusions" and similar pin pricks; a quar
rel ensued, then two, then they became
a daily occurrence. One evening Maria
said with an irritated tone:
"Carlo, let us leave it off."
"Let us," he replied without hesita
tion.
And the next day he set off on a jour
ney for the improvement of his mind;
Maria went to Naples, to the house of a
cousin, to fish for a heroic husband.
The families had a new falling out; Ma
ria's father had an opening made for a
window which overlooked his neighbor's
courtyard; the latter, in order to annoy
him, built a dove cote of which the
doves ran about everywhere; immedi
ately there was a summons, a second, a
third, the lawsuits began again, and
j this time, the advocates said, smiling,
I without hope of any compromise.—

WORK OF A DEVOTED WOMAN.
How Mlm Mance Founded the Famoun
Hotel Dieu in IG4I.
The following romantic story was told
by Dr. W. 11. Kingston, of Montreal, in
addressing the international medical
congress:
When Jacques Cartier returned to
France after his discovery of Canada the
news of his exploit traveled over France
as quickly as was then possible.
A French girl, young and beautiful,
became impressed with the thought that
the newly found country should be tho
scene of her labors. She succeeded after
a time in fitting out a small bark with
money furnished by a Mvie. Bullion,
and with twelve sailors crossed the At
lantic in the spring of 1641.
The sea voyage to Quebec occupied
three months. It can now be accom
plished in one-fifteenth of that time.
The journey from Quebec to Montreal
by the St. Lawrence, which can now be
performed in a night, then occupied
eight days. Miss Mance's bark came to
an anchor at a projecting point off the Is
land of Montreal, then called Hochelaga.
Hochelaga was at that time the chef
lieu of the warlike Hurons. They looked
with amazement at the advent of pale
faced men and one palefaced woman—
for she was alone of her sex. They soon
frecovered from their surprise, however,
and it was necessary for the colonists to
throw up for their protection, as quickly
as possible, wooden palisades on the land
or rear approach; the big canoe, as the
bark was styled, was a sufficiently im
posing defense in front. If a colonist
ventured beyond the palisades to gather
fruit or berries, or to cut wood, he ran
the risk of being pierced with arrows.
Half of the first colonists perished in
this manner, and Miss Mance was obliged
to return to France in 1619, bringing
back with her other recruits, and again
in 1658, leaving France with twenty
male and female recruits, half of whym
died on the voyage of a form of plague.
In their attacks on this small force some
of the red men were wounded in return,
and when deserted by their comrades
they wero brought within the palisades
to what they and their tribe considered
certain death—according to their own
custom in warfare.
They soon found the hospital to be a
place of woman's tenderest solicitude.
When the red man's wounds wero
healed a repast of dog's meat was pre
pared for him, and he was permitted to
rejoin his tribe to tell what the pale
faced maiden had done for him. It
need not surprise us to be told that, in
the presence of such devotion, the war
like Huron soon forgot his ferocity.
A few years later it was necessary for
the small colony to move a few hundred
yards inland. Word went throughout
the Huron camp, and before the hour of
departure the aborigines had strewn the
ground with leaves and the branches of
trees and with wild flowers, saying the
earth was not fit to receive the tread of
these women.
In this way our first hospital was es
tablished, and in this way the light of
Christianity was brought to the Island
of Montreal. Here is how the hospital
has been sustained. Miss Mance had
obtained from the French king a deed
of gift in perpetuity of the small piece
of land where she landed, which at that
time was valueless. It became, how
ever, in the course of years the center
of the village of Montreal, and eventu
ally the commercial city clustered
around it.
A century and a third ago, when
Canada passed from the rule of France
to that of Great Britain, respect was
paid by the conqueror to the rights orig
inally conferred by the French king,
and the hospital, which at first had but
the aborigines for inmates, continued to
receive within its walls, as colonization
went on, persons of every succeeding
nationality. For upward of 150 years
after its foundation it alone afforded
asylum to the sick and wounded of Mou
treal and westward.
How many from these shores when
sick and disabled have there received
maternal care! How many of your
children, in that then faroff land, had
the pillow of death smoothed for them
there, and without fee or pecuniary re
ward! And the same continues to this
day, for the property preserved to those
religious ladies by a wise conqueror has,
without municipal aid or government
patronage, but with economy, sufficed
for the wants of the institution.—British
Medical Journal.
Queen Victoria's Cows.
Not a gentleman fanner in England
is fonder of taking prizes at county fairs
than is Queen Victoria. Of late years
this has been her majesty's chief source
of pleasure, and she treasures the med
als won by her butter and cheese and
the premiums carried off by her cattle
above the gorgeous tributes of her east
ern subjects or her German royal rela
tions. When sho is at Balmoral not a
day passes that she does not personally
inspect the home farm, as it is called,
and now and then advise as to the but
ter and cheese making, in which she is
especially interested. Her dairies are
almost Dutch in their exquisite cleanli
ness, the box stalls being tiled in blue
and white china, and the milking done
by maids.
It is said that the produce of these
model farms is sold in London, and that
her thrifty majesty turns many an hon
est penny in this way. Well, if she
does, what matter? It adds to the in
terest of farming no doubt to make it
profitable, and she is to be congratu
lated upon her success. At Windsor a
herd of American buffaloes is kept, and
recently an attempt was made to cross
them with some Scotch cattle.—Jeuness
Miller Monthly.
Fui.. Bishops.
Feminine bishops aro a possibility
which Sir Wilfred Lawson, of conserva
tive England, suggests—for why not,
since there is no fighting to be done? "It
; is an intellectual, spiritual and theolog
ical affair, and surely women are as good
in these things as men," he adds, and
hopes to live to see the woman bishop
| consecrated, as she may do more good
I than the men.
Luck Came at Lnnt.
Among the arrivals b. the Oregon and
California train from tlio north were
Charles D. Brewer and G. Gordon, two
yonng men who have been for seven and
five years, respectively, isolated on the
ice at faraway Point Barrow, the most
northwesterly tip of the United States
possessions.
They went tip originally for the Pacific
Steam Whaling company, but soon after
their arrival set out to hunt whalebone
for themselves. They had a precarious
time of it for several years, and rough
usage in a region so stern that the ther
mometer went down in several instances
to 72 degs. below zero.
Whales were not plentiful, and often
times they thought of abandoning their
pursuit and trying to get u ride out on
some one of the occasional vessels to
civilization. They stuck to it, however,
subsisting 011 polar bear and reindeer
meat, and clad in double suits of doeskin
clothes.
Now they are glad they stayed over
till this year, for tliey captured four
whales, secured the bone, and on the ar
rival of the St. Paul. vhich they
shipped it, will realize i.ocut $25,000
from the catch. They cauie down them
selves on the St. Paul to Nauuimo, and
thence overland.
One of the young men lives in New-
Jersey and the other in New York, and
in a few days they will leave to visit
their friends. "It seemed like a good
while when we were up there," said Mr.
Brewer, "but now the seven years seem
like a very little time."—San Francisco
Examiner.
Curious ilfluie Tor a Mouse.
There is a mouse which has made its
abode in a down town house in such a
strange place and it has such regular and
peculiar habits that its vagaries are per
haps worth recording. The ceiling of
the liquor shop is neatly painted, and to
protect it from flies muslin was stretched
across the roof of the room. On one
sidf3 of the room are heavy pillars with
Corinthian capitals. The muslin passes
just below these capitals, and it is in one
of them that the mouse has made its
home. How it ever got there is a mys
tery, and how it has managed to live
through the summer without anything
to drink is a marvel, but that it has
done so is a fact. Its food supply has
been a curious one.
At 8 o'clock every evening the mouse
leaves its sleeping place, and then run
ning about the muslin catches such flies
as have found means of getting between
the ceiling and the muslin, and as these
are fairly numerous the little creature
makes a hearty meal every evening.
But flies are evidently not fattening, for
the mouse is one of the thinnest of its
kind, and though a young one has
hardly grown at all throughout the
summer, and as flies are now happily
getting scarce the animal will probably
be a stunted specimen to the end of its
days.—New York Tribune.
The Derby Hut.
If the derby hat is to be crowded out
by the easier and softer styles of head
gear, there won't be much regret over
its going. In spite of its advantages as
a cross between the silk hat and the
slouch, it has never had the merits of
either of those styles. It has always
had the discomforts of the silk hat.
without having its dash or beauty, and
it has not been much dressier than a
neat soft hat, although it has always
been more uncomfortable.
It is a bad thing for a hot day, and it
isn't much for a cold spell, and heaven
help the man who wears it the morning
after a banquet. The tendency now is
to easy hats, aud it ought to be encour
aged. Men have laughed a great deal
at women's slavery to fashion, but they
have never been able to point to a more
forcible illustration of that slavery than
their own adherence to the derby hat
supplied.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
I.ord Crewe's Hut.
Lord Crewe, who is in his eighty
first year, was up to last season a fre
quent and picturesque figure in London
drawing rooms. He was notable, among
other reasons, for the pertinacity with
which he stuck to his hat. The crush
hat had not been invented when he first
began to go out, and when it appeared
on the scene he felt himself too old to
fall in with the new custom. Accord
ingly he sticks to the unyielding cylin
drical head covering, sometimes known
as a "topper." When the crush was
great every one knew exactly where
abouts Lord Crewe was by observing an
uncompromising top hat held above the
heads of the throng.—Manchester (Eng
land) Times.

a bank at Andover into notes and cur
rent coin to the amount of £74 10s. Then
Hemmings presented each clerk with a
7s. gold piece, dated between 1797 and
1809. This led to an inquiry, and, as Is
the custom in such cases in England, the
coroner held an inquest, which resulted
in a verdict for the crown.—London

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
The Apple Pendulum.
At dessert it is possible by means of
an apple or an orange to repeat the Fou
canlt pendulum experiment, which was
executed under the dome of the Pan
theon in 1851.
Pass a match through an orange and
allow the ends to protrude on each side,
and to one of these ends attach a thread.
Attach the other extremity of the
thread to the head of a pitx inserted in a
cork and support the latter by means of
three forks, the handles of which rest
upon the edge of a plate. Now cause
the pendulum to swing after so regulat
ing the length of the thread that the
lower point of the match shall come
very near the bottom of the plate and
mark its passage in two small circular
piles of powdered sugar, designed to
represent the circle of sand that Fou
cault arranged upon the ground all
around his pendulum.
The plate represents the earth. As
long as it remains stationary the match,
at every oscillation, will pass exactly
through the furrow that it lias made in
the two piles of sugar.
If, in order to represent the rotary
motion of the earth we gently revolve
the plate, and consequently the forks
and cork, we find that that has no in
fluence upon the pendulum, which con
tinues to oscillate in the same plane as
before, and we have a proof of this in
seeing the matcli at every oscillation
make a small furrow distinct from the
proceeding.
We can thus demonstrate in a simple
and practical manner the principle of
the invariability of the plane of oscilla
tion of the pendulum, upon which was
based the celebrated experiment of the
French scientist.—Electrical Age.
Story of u Brave Youth.
Little Ensign Jackson, of the navy,
has juat been ordered to report for duty
on the torpedo boat Cushing, now at the
Brooklyn navy yard. There is a story
about this youngster which gives his
personality more than ordinary interest.
In the great cyclone at Samoa of
March, 1889, in which the flagship Tren
ton, the Vandalia and the Nipsic were
wrecked, Jackson bravely led the
Trenton's crew into the rigging when
Lieutenant Brown, the ship's executive
officer, called for volunteers to go up the
shrouds and form themselves into a sail
to save the vessel from going broadside
upon a reef. The situation was one of
great peril, and the Alubama cadet's act
was exceptional for gallantry and intre
pedity. The quick resource of the exec
utive and the prompt execution of his
order saved the noble old ship for six
hours and enabled the crew to get
ashore. Had she gone upon the reef
when this improvised human sail saved
her, not only would the vessel have been
lost, but beyond doubt every man of the
400 souls alx>ard would have perished.
When the final examinations came off
at Annapolis young Jackson passed, hut
as there was no vacancy for him in the
service he was dropped with a year's
pay. Senators Morgan and Pugh were
proud of their constituent's valor, and
thought he should be rewarded for it as
an example to other men of the service.
A hill was introduced creating an addi
tional number in the ensigns' list and
providing that Jackson should he given
the commission. Both houses passed
the bill unanimously, and on the Ist of
July, 1890, he became a full fledged offi
cer of the navy, and in addition he has a
distinction held by only two or three
living officers of the service, in that he
has the privilege of the floor of both
branches of congress by reason of his
name having been mentioned in com
mendatory legislation.—New York Press.
