prove profitable. A single hive at th®

I Bit besido my flying loom.
I toss tho shuttle to and fro;
The sunlight floods the quiet room,
Making tho pattern gleam and glow.
Without, autumnal glories shino;
Through warp and woof rich shadows
play-
Would God it wore more fair and fine,
This wob that growoth day by dayl
I weave and weave till day is done—
I !But who will bleach tho linen white,
By alchemy of rain and BUD,
Hot summer noons, an l dowy night?
And who its shining length will wear?
Under its fold what heart will hide
Its stress of passion, or of prayer.
Of world less bliss, or love donicd?
I plant a tree beside my gate;
Slowly it rises, fair and tall;
With prophecy of royal state
It towors abovo the old gray wall!
But who will see it in its prime?
What lovers sook its leafy ways?
What bard unborn, with song aud rhyme,
Wed its green boughs to deathless lays?
I build a mansion wide and fair;
I rear Its towers of fretted stone;
But who shall breathe its happy air?
Who call its sheltering roof his own?
What guests shall throng its chambers fine?
What feet youth's joyous measures tread
When I have drained life's la9t rod wine,
And grass grows green above my head?
On the soft air I loose a song;
From pole to polo it driftoth farj
It floateth fast, it floateth long,
Inconsequent as breezes are!
But who will hear it as it flies
Through shadowy spaces, vast anl dim,
Aud lure it from the lonely skios,
When I have done with song and hymn?

SELIiNd'S MODEL HOME.
BY SUSAN AHCHEB WEISS.
aOSEPII and I took a
great fancy to tho
Mediums wlion they
first settled down on
j a little plaoo in our
neighborhood.
J" Tom Medium wns
a good-natured,easy
going soul, and his wife—they had
been married abont two years—was as
bright aud pleasant a littlo body as
one would wish to know. I thought
I'd never seen a happier or more con
tended young oonple.
Our two families soon grew inti
mate; for Joseph and Tom had known
each other when they were at sohool,
and Selina's mother was soeond-consiu
to my Aunt White's husband ; so there
seemed to be a sort of family relation
ship between us.
Well, it happened that I went to
stay a couple of week 3 with Cousin
Betsey, who was having a trying time
with her sick children; and when I
oame back, Selina was the first to call
to see me.
I thought she looked changed some
how—restless nnd dissatisfied, it might
be—and when I asked how Bhe nnd
Tom were getting along with their
spring work, sho answered pretty
shortlv.
By-nnd-by she says:
"Mrs. Bigger, did you ever see a
book—a new publication—called the
'Woman's Model Home?'"
I had heard of it. Betsey had told
mo that a woman agent had been
around her neighborhood, selliug tho
book, nnd thut when she had insisted
upon Betsey's husband buying a copy,
saying that with its help thoir home
could be made a deal nicer and more
genteel looking, ho had replied that in
his opinion a model homo was ono
where meddlesome strangers and
trashy books ought not to be admit
ted—on which sho called him a "soul
less clod," aud goue off with an air.
"Trashy books, indeed!" said Se
liua. "Why, it's ono of the most de
lightful as well as valuable books that
a family can possess. It teaches how
to make homo beautiful nnd attrac
tive ; how to economize iu cooking
and household matters; aud even how
to make old dresses look as good as
new. By following its instructions
tho plninost homo cau be made ploas
aut and attractive—'a model home,' in
fact."
"And havo you followed the instruc
tions?" I asked.
"In some respects, yes; but I need
help. A woman ean't do everything
with her own weak hands."
"Where's Tom? I should think he
would help you."
Selina heaved a deep sigh.
"That's tho trouble," she said. "Ho
could help me if he would, but he
don't npprocinto my efforts, and has so
little taste for the beautiful. Ho says
he's quite satisfied with our homo as
it is, aud calls all tho pretty little
kniok-knaolis that I have put about
tho house trash, and he's really so
dreadfully lazy!"
"Lazy? Why, I always thought him
so industrious aud attentive to things.
He keeps the place in such nice
order."
"But when his work is over in the
evenings," says Selina, "he could
easily help me if he would. Instead
of doing so, he prefers to sit on the
porch in his shirt-sleeves, reading
books and papers—the picture of lazi
ness. And he pretends not to see me
going about with hammer and nails
and hoe aud rake, trying to improve
things und make his home attraotivo
and pleasant for him. And ho is so
obstinate! Now, for ono thing, he
insists upon hnviug the pig pen in
sight of the kitchen window, that he
may see that the pigs are safe; and
he's got a horrid barrel under the side
spout—you can see it from the road—
to catch rain water in."
"Well, I didn't know exactly what
to say, but to satisfy myself about tho
real state of things, I went over next
day to the Meo'auuie.
I found Selina iu the front garden,
with a peiut brush in her hand, and
•U ert ef things lying nret'.Bdi
She was painting an old iron pot
bright red. It was hanging on threo
cross sticks, and underneath it sho
had set ont sOmo of thoso plants with
pointed colored leaves, red and yellow
and orange, which sho told me repre
sented flames.
She called it a gipsy kettle, and sho
showed me a picture of it in the
"Model Homo," with directions how
to make it.
Then she pointed out an old wash
tub, painted green, full of a tiny little
blue flower, which she said represented
water. In the middle was stuck a
pole, with a soap box on top, painted
blue.
In this she had planted some long,
trailing moss, which WOB to hang down
in straight lines; and sho called the
whole a fountain, and explained to mo
that the ohief beauty of these decora
tions lay in tho fact that they cost
nothing—nothing except the paint
aud such trifles—though she did loug
for a cheap garden vase, such as Mrs.
Martin had iu her front yard. But it
would cost a dollar, and she didn't
like to put Tom to the expense, now
that Bhe was learning frein tho "Modol
Home" how to economize.
Just then Tom himself came around
from the" barnyard.
"Lina," says he, "what on oarth
has become of the pigs' swill-pot?"
"Why, Tom, I took it for another
purpose. Just come aud look at it
now! Isn't it pretty!"
Tom stared at the gipsy kettle. He
looked half vexed end half amused.
"It is to be filled with earth," con
tinued Soliua, "and something pretty
planted in it. What do you think
would be suitable?"
"Well," eavs Tom, slowly stroking
his chin, "if it's a gipsy kettle, I
should think that a dwarf-head cab
bage and a lot of carrots and onions
would bo appropriate ; and as tho pot
is gone, I shall havo to buy mo n
trough."
"How much will that cost?" says I.
"Abont a dollar or so," he answered,
as he walked off.
Selina pretended not to hear, and
led me into tho house.
I had to stoop a little to avoid the
baskot of gravbeard moss which she
had hung in the passage, and I won
dered how Tom could help upsetting
the big pickle jar, all varnished and
stuck over with pictures, which sho
had put in a corner just in front of
where ho kept his hot and umbrella.
And the parlor was just transformed.
The pictures had flags draped over
them, and there were screens in the
windows; and Tom's big ohair, that I
knew he liked to sit in when they had
company, was all fixed up with a satin
tidy and bows of ribbon ; and every
where grasses and peacocks' feathers,
and Japan fans spread out, aud I don't
know what other stuff; and Selina told
me that tho dining room and bed
rooms were all the same way.
She had only yesterday made Tom a
beautiful wisp holder out of red cloth,
taokod on to a common picture frame
covered with gilt paper (she showed
me a picture of it in tlfe
"Model Home"); aud ho had said it
would take him too long to get the
wisp in and out, and he'd rather have
it hanging on its nail.
Then sho told mo how sho had been
cookingafter tboreoipes iu tho "Model
Home." It taught her not to waste
stale bread and other little scraps that
she generally gave to the pigs and
chickens. She had made a splendid
pudding of half a loaf of stale bread,
with plenty of milk, butter, eggs,
sugar nnd spiees. Aud for supper they
were to have, instoad of cold lamb,
fairy croquettes, made of tho scraps
from yesterday's ham bone, mixed
with eggs, milk aud spice. She thought
them so refined-looking; aud then it
was a good thing to learn to econo
mize.
Well, after this I noticed that a sort
of cloud began to gather over the Me
diums. Seliua was contiually com
plaining of Tom's uot helping her—of
Tom's laziness and want of gratitude
for all she had done to mako home
plcasaut; and Tom took to going rouud
now aud then iu the evenings to the
neighbors, instead of staying at home
as usual, and, of course, the people
uotiocd it and tulked, as people will.
One day as I sat knitting and think
ing it all over, and wishing that some
thing could be dono to restore tho old
happiness at the Mediums, suddenly
bright idea flashed upon me. I didn't
say a word, but put on my bonnet and
stepped over to see Selina.
Sho wns tm ning nn old merino dress,
and making it over after the directions
in tho "Model Home." Sho had
bought enough silk and things to trim
it up with as would almost have pur
chased a new dress; aud had had far
more trouble ripping and pressing and
piecing than a now ono would have
cost. .
I was so onger to try ray experiment
that I began right away.
"I sew last Sunday that you'd fixed
up your blue dress," says X. "Airs.
Hoiliday says that Tom ought to give
you a now one, instead of your being
forced to make over your old."
"Tom would give me whatever I
asked for!" said she, in a dignified
sort of way.
"Folks don't seem to "think so.
They think he neglects you, and putE
too much work upon you. Miss Fer
kins says she goes by hero and sees
him lolliug on the porch, reading,
while you are working rouud in the
garden like a slave."
She was silent at this.
Her color came, und she gavo a lit
tie choking gulp in her throat.
Then she said:
"Suppose he does. What has Miss
Perkins got to do with it?"'
"Well, people can't help seeing and
talking, you know, and do say that
Tom Medium's dreadfully lazy, aud
no account, aud that they pity you
having a husband who can't appreciate
you."
"I'd thank them to keep their pity
these that need it I" said Sslina,
very sharply. "No account, indeed I
If Tom Medium was as good for noth
ing as half the men about horo, I
would never have been his wife—
not 11"
"Well, somo people take his part.
The other Sunday, when you and he
stayed to dinner at the Browns, Miss
Hannah Woods noticed that she never
saw him oat so heartily before; and
Sam Carter 6nid it was beoause ho
didn't get enough to eat at home, and
that that was the reason he'd been go
ing round lately among the neighbors.
Of course, it's a shameful thing to say;
but people will talk."
Then how Selina did flare up!
"I never heard of suoh impertinence.
What could induce Sam Carter to say
such an outrageous thing?"
"Why, there was something about
your making dishes out of scraps, or
something of that sort. Hannah
Woods said that she went in for good,
fresh, wholesome victuals, and plenty
of it. And then sornobody remarked
that if Tom Mechum had married
Hannah—you know they used to tease
her about him—he would have been
in the right place. And Hannah's
cousin, Mrs. Brown, said she always
thought that Tom and you wouldn't
get on very well together—you're so
different in your tastes and ways.
Tom goes for real comfort, and you
liko to make a little show and have
things pretty around you. She said
sho felt sorry for you both."
"Mrs. Brown is a fool," burst out
Selina: "and as for Hannah Woods,
everybody knows that she did her
best to catch Tom, and ho despised
her. Tom marry that great, coarse
woman ! And Tom and I not suited
to each other, nnd not happy togeth
er! Why, he's the kindest, most af
fectionate husband a woman ever had,
nnd there's not a thing he would not
do for ma if I asked him."
She was so excited, augry and mor
tified, that I thought I'd gone far
enough. So I folded up my knitting
and went home, and took care not to
go near tho Mediums again for somo
time.
They were at church tho next Sun
day—Selina iu a brand-new dress. She
looked around, a little Hushed and dis
tant, at the neighbors; but Tom looked
happy and good-natured, as usual, and
was mighty kind in his ways to her.
And when 1 went over, a day or two
after, I found tho gipsy kettle gone
back to the pig-pen, and the pickle-jar
disappeared from tho passage, and the
ribbon bows from Tom's parlor chair.
I happened to ask to look at the
"Model Homo" for a pattern for a
wall-pocket, and Selina said she had
put away the book in the attic, but sbe
would find it, and send it to me next
day.
Tom has moved the pig pen out of
eight of the kitchen widdow, and would
have moved the barrel, but his wife
proposed, instead, to make a simple
honeysuckle screen in front of it,
which, to my idea, is far prettier than
tho gipsy kettle and the fountain.
_ I told Joseph of my experiment and
its success. He says I had no busi
ness to meddle in other people's af
fairs, or to go round telling a woman
what the neighbors say about her. But
if I can prevent a great evil by the
timely application of a lesser one, I
think Xam justified in doing it. And
then tho neighbors are well enough
disposed to tho Mediums, though some
of them do talk, and iSeliua is good
natured—so it will all Vie right after
awhile.—Saturday Night.
The Fate o! a Message.
In the Century's articlo on "The
First Landing on the Antarctic Con
tinent," by C. E. Borchgrovink, the
Norwegiau explorer, occurs the fol
lowing :
Wo weighed nnchor on October 31,
and when close to the south shore seut
off two boats in search of seals. On
this occasion one of tho boats, being
swamped in the surf, wa3 immediately
crushed against the rocks, its crew
having n rather narrow escape from
drowuiug. One of tho men fought
bravely in tho breakers for half an
hour without relinquishing his grasp
on his rifle.
With scrupulous care we now com
posed a letter, upon which each of us
carefully iusoribo l his signature. Hav
ing placed it in a small bladder which
had been given to us for tho purpose
by the Norwegian consul in Mel
bourne, wo consigned it to tho waves,
and leaned over the bulwarks to see
tho mail depart. Much to our chagrin,
a large albatross hove in sight, and be
fore our message had gone mauy yards
the huge bird gobbled it up.
Survived a Bullet in His I ttug.
A man with a bullet hole through
his left lung is living in Milton, Ind.,
and is fast recovering from tho injury,
which all tho doctors thought would
result in his death within a fow days
of his receiving it. His name is Jo
seph Bevellee. Last February he was
shot in a quarrel, the bullet piercing
his left lung. For several dayshewas
apparently at tho point of death, and
the doctors said he could not recover.
But after a week or so he began to
improve, and now, though etill iu
hospital, is said to be ou the way to
certain recovery. The injured lung
has hardened, and the heart has been
pushed slightly out of place.—New
York Sun.
Hunts up a Congregation.
After studying for some time tho
problem of how to get tho people into
his church, and after trying a number
of old schemes, a Methodist minister
of Thompsonville, Mich., hit on the
not altogether novel idea of going to
the peoplo who would not come to
him. He went into tho principal
saloon in the town and preached an
eloquent sermon to the crowd about
the bar, and has since been following
up this practice, undisturbed by the
owner of tb plo& in whtab lispitnhes
his pulpit.
A Street Incident.
A significant circumstance occurred
during a visit of the Emperor of (fir
many to England. The kaiser was lor
one (lay the guest of the lord mayor,
and the city of London received him
and several of the queen's children on
that day.
Tito old city was splendidly decorat
ed, und set for a great public function
The streets from Buckingham palact
to the lord mayor's mansion were lined
with infantry and cavalry, hack of
whom was a solid mass of people.
Between these lines the royal car
riages slowly passed. They moved in
almost absolute silence, save for the
perfunctory salutes of the soldiery. The
queen was not present, and for mere
royalty as royalty, there was appar
ently no popular feeling save thut of
curiosity.
When, however, the enrriage of the
Princess of Wales appeared, and her
sweet, kind face was seen', the applause
grew enthusiastic. Suddenly a burst
of cheers wns heard, as n low, black
wagon came swiftly down the throng
ed street. It wns the ambulance of a
hospital, which lias precedence every
where, carrying some wounded man
to receive succor. The crowd paid
homage to charity in a sincere though
inappropriate fashion.
In it was a hint which the scions of
the ruling families of Europe present
should have understood. Queen Vic
toria knows that her people pny alle
giance to her more as a wise, good
woman, wife and mother than as ono
of the House of Hanover.
"The divinity which doth liedgo a
king" must now have Its bases In hu

than in descent or etiquette.
IMI'OItTANT DECISION*
Walter linker & Cn.'s Cocoa to I!e Sold In

On til" 6th Doconiber Inst, Messrs. Walter
linker & Co.. Limited, Dorchtster, Muss.,
well unci widely known for more than u
century as manufacturers of Cocoa antl
Chocolate procurations, issued a c rculnr to
111; trade in wh'ch they stated that they had
d cided to withdraw nil their grocers' goods
irosn sn'o in Ohio. "We take this course,"
they said, "because it seems the only one open
to us in view of the numerous prosecutions
that have been instituted ajninst parties sell
ing our i r iduct-s sinou the recent decision of
the Court ot Common Picas of Cuyahoga
County in tn.'proceedings uxuinst Mr. hose,
of Clevelnn 1, for selling our iir oak fast Cocoa.
"11l lh.it cas • the chemist employed by tho
!- tnte t stilled lliat the sample 'was marie from
pure cocoa, with no other adulteration than
the removal of the nit.* lie aho testified that
he never had exanrnod itnv pmvd re t cocoa
'except the. oil had been removed or starch or
sugar added? and that, without such rem aval
or addition, it was impossible to make a pow
dered cocoa which would keep in our climate.
"The name Break fa t Cccoa is applied only
to powdered cocoa; ami we have always stated
conspicuously, on every can, exactly how ours
is made -namely, by removing the 'excess of oil'
without the use of any chemicals and without
the addition of starch or sugar.
"Our object lias ooeti to produce an extract
of c >cou c attaining the stimulating and ex- j
id'uniting properties of the bean in tho most !
convenient, concentrated and digestible form;
and our success lias been fnllv attested by tlu
l nd.hg physicians and teachers of cooking.
We lully lelicve we have adopted the best 1
met ho I known for the purpose, and there is
110 question that the demand for the product
is great and greatly iucreas'ng."
<>n the 18th Janu iry, Mo.-srs. Walter linker
& Co., issued another d.culur to tho Hade in j
which they said:
"Iho Circuit Court of Cuyahoga Countv
has reversed the decision ot the Court of
Common Pleas to which wo referred in our
circular of December 5, and decided that our
breakfast Cocoa, being a pure article, made
from the cmio ham by the removal of the exeess
of 0.7, is not within the provisions of the fotsl

to interfere with trade in {purified pnstucts.

"Wo thereto e take pleasure in announcing
