WHY ROSY UPS WERE MADE.,
As Bessie, blushing, raised her head
The handsome fellow archly said.
Stroking his chin:
Pray tell why rosy lips were made.
Said she: They are the sweet blockade
Against young lovers who invade
The heart within.
If I the sweet blockade should ran
21ight I not hold the heart I'd won
By such adventure*
Not every one can take who tries!
But should yon take me by surprise
And close the lip6 I'd still have eyes
Would speak in censure!
Could eyes like those be so unkind?
Then close them up, for ‘'Love is blind!*
Nay, that's not true, sir!
Can Love be blind, I’d like to know,
And shoot the unerring arrow so?
He sees more in some one, I trow,
Than others do, sir.
And why do cheeks get rosy red?
I'll tell you why, sweet Bessie said.
With some emotion.
There nature, with consummate art,
Paints every passion of the heart
That burning secret to impart—
A maid's devotion!
He stole one kiss! then two, three, feurl
And gladly would have stolen more
Without repenting.
You’ve ta'en oiv heart; it must be true
These rosy lips were made for you!
You'd better take the residue
While I'm consenting.
—Fred Emerson Brooks in New York Herald.
MYSTERY OF A DREAM.
I am about to write tne'story of the
»ne great mystery of my life. I have
told the story to many people, but with
jne exception they have all looked very
incredulous. Many shook their heads,
and not a few .-acted as if they thought
me a trifle demented. There is one,
however, who is now sitting near the ta
ble at which 1-e.m writing that believes
my story implicitly. Indeed Ediena,
my darling wife, knows full well that
the story which I am about to write is
true.
I cannot tel. when the knowledge that
I loved Edie na YVyldmero was first re
vealed to me. We were children to
gether, and as we grew older we seemed
like brother md sister. Even then she
was all the world to me, and how dear I
was to her her own sweet lips have told
me a hundred times. Our joys and sor
rows were soared together. As happy,
thoughtless children we romped and
laughed, and mtny a time we mingled
our tears in childish grief. As the years
rolled away our affection for each other
grew steadily stronger and deeper.
At 1!) Ediena .was as fair and pure as
the most spotless thing under the sun. I
almost worshiped her then, but I was
still young and no thought of marriage
entered my head. So beautiful a maid
en could not- long avoid attracting ad
miring suitors, and among those who
flocked around her was one Cyril Stay-
thome. the tall, proud, aristocratic mas
ter of Staythorne hall, which had been
left him at the death of his wealthy fa
ther.
I will not deny that I soor. grew jeal
ous of many of tiiese fawning and flatter
ing suitors, and of Cyril • Staythorne in
jtarticuiar. Most beautiful young ladies
are naturally a trifle inclined to be flirts,
and Ediena Wyldmere was no exception.
Not but that she loved me as truly and
dearly as ever, bnt ne.VOT had I made a
serious declaration of my passion, and
for a time she enjoyed the attention be
stowed upon her by those who had been
smitten by her rare charms of grace and
sweetness.
I was poor, a carpenters son, and this
fact alone in the eyes of her parents dis
qualified me as a son-in-law. Our
Saviour was a carpenter’s son, but this
fact has not caused the calling to be
deemed more lofty than it was nineteen
hundred years ago. Ediena’s parents
were on the outlook for a “good match”
for their daughter and they looked with
favor upon Cyril Staythorne. They
were too wise to come oat openly and
request Ediena to have nothing farther
to do with the poor carpenter's son, but
in divers ways they did everything they
could to separate us and to instalLStay-
thome in her favor.
I shall never forget the feeling of -rage
and despair that seized me a* one day 1
saw Ediena seated in Cyril Staythome's
handsome carriage, with Staythorne
himself by her side. X cannot describe
onr next meeting. How much I was to
blame for what followed I now know,
bnt I then thought I had just cause for
what I did. Hot words were uttered,
And for the first time we parted is
anger.
The next day 1 left the quiet New
England town where twenty-one years
-of my life had been spent. A passenger
train bore me away ont into the world.
X was going anywhere that I might get
away from the hateful spot that I had
always known as home, where so many
happy days had been spent with the one
from whom I thought fate had separat
ed me forever.
X sought and obtained employment in
a great city, the crowded streets and
hurrying rush of which seemed very
strange and unnatural to me. I tried to
forget my old home and Ediena, but I
soon found it impossible to do so. Strive
as I might to tear her image from my
bosom her fair, sweet face was almost
always before me. Sternly I fought
against the power that seemed to be
drawing me back to her. Many a night
did I awaken and sit bolt upright in the
darkness of my little room, with her
plaintive crv sounding in my ears.
“Oh, Jasper, cope back to me!”
It always seemed very real, but I rea
soned myself into thinking that it was
all imagination. I now know that many,
many times she uttered that very cry.
One day an accident happened to me.
I was passing along beneath the spot
where repairs were being made on a
building when a falling board struck
me senseless. I was picked up and-car
ried to a hospital, bnt when I recovered
consciousness I did not know my own
name. My mind did not seem deranged.
1 could remember events and people, but
I could not recall the name of a single
person whom I knew. They told me
that I had been severely injured and
that doubtless as I improved my memory
would serve me better.
For several days I lay there, gradually
glowing better physically, but in no
way improving mentally. Try as 1
might X could not recall names. I re
membered my home, Ediena, Cyril Stay
thorne, everything; but I could not
speak the name of a single place or per
tain, although scores of times I seemed
on the point of doing so. »
Finally, I had so far recovered that I
was informed that on the following day
I was to be discharged from the hospital.
The last night of my stay in the hospital
arrived, and at a very early hour I
sought my couch and was soon fast
asleep.
I am not naturally a dreamer, but am
a very sound sleeper. It did not seem
that I dreamed that night, but suddenly
I found myself in a familiar spot. It
was night, and a thunderstorm was rap
idly coming on. The black heavens were
seamed with fire, and deep thunder
roared like an enraged monster. I was
standing on the old bridge which span
ned a winding stream not far from my
boyhood home. Suddenly a flash of
lightning showed me Ediena hurrying
along the bridge.
Startled and amazed that she should
be there at such a time, I was about to
make my presence known, when an
other flash showed a second person on
the bridge. Plainly I saw his dark,
mustacbed, evilly handsome face, and
plainly I heard Ediena’s cry of surprise
and fear as he confronted her midway
on the trestle. Then through the dark
ness floated his triumphant exclama-
5 tion;
“Ah-ab! Ediena Wyldmere, I have
1 you now! Twice I have asked yon to
i be my wife, only to meet with refusal
, and scorn. To-night I swear you shall
> consent to marry me, or you meet yonr
i death in the waters of Crooked river!”
| Then came another flash of light that
| showed my darling struggling in his
: vile clasp. To my ears came a cry that
i stirred every drop of blood in my veins:
i In an instant I leaped forward and
i tore her from his arms; at the same time
i .1 dealt him a terrific blow that sent him
I reeling against the railing of the bridge.
' The rotten guard gave way, and flinging
| np hit arms, with the look -of unnttera-
: ble horror on his face plainly revealed
j by the vivid glare, he uttered one wild
4 cry and plunged downward into the
dark water. Ediena uttered one joyful
(cry:
“Jasper! Jasper!”
Then she sank unconscious attoiy feet.
From that moment I knew no more un
til I awoke in the morning to find my-
, self in the hospital. And in the morning
my memory was fully restored to its
; natural condition. I fonnd that I knew
my own name and the names of my
> friends. That day I left the hospital.
! I remained in the city a week, and
■ during the entire time my strange
! dream—if dream it was—worried me
{ constantly. Was Ediena in trouble?
i Did she need my protection?
» As a finai result, one night I boarded
i a swift train, and in the morning I stood
! by my darling's bedside. She was. just
| recovering from a brief but severe ill-
j! ness. As she clung to my hand and
\ .shed tears of joy she sobbed reproach
fully:
| "“Ok, Jasper! Why did you leave me
5 there on that bridge after rescuing me
| from Cyril -Staythome's hands?”
| “What do you mean?” I hoarsely
5 gasped, scarcely able to credit my ears,
f Then she. described a scene just as I
! had witnessed and taken part in my
-dream. She fiually said:
l "“I was over to Mabel Q-ray’s, where I
i intended to spend the night, when the
i thunder storm came up. I don’t, know
' why I did,it, but I resolved to return
j home, and. I started out despite the pro-
] tests of both Mabel and her mother. I
■ met Staythorne on the bridge. He seized
l me .in his rile grasp, and i called for
•help. Then iy on came and snatched me
j from his hands, at the same time hurling
l him off the bridge. I caught ane glimpse
j of your face. as it was revealed by the
[ lightning, and then I fainted. When I
recovered consciousness it was raining
and I was alone on the bridge. ”
“And Cyril Staythorne?” I asked.
“Was found the following day float
ing ■& corpse on .Crooked river. ”
j My story ends here. I have already
told yon that Ediena is my wife. I can
not explain the mystery of my dream. J
! can only write the question that J have
1 asked myself a thousand times:
; Was it a,dream?—William T. Patten
in Yankee Blade.
iOrigli of Look Measure.
Onr measures of length originated in
the dawn of civilization, and came to us
through .the Anglo-Saxons. The yard
-was originally the length of a king’s
arm; the foot, the length of bis pedal
f extremities. The word inch is derived
( from the Latin nuria, a twelfth part,
but why the foot was divided into
twelfths, instead of tenths or elevenths,
no one claims to be wise enough to telL
It has been suggested that probably the
inch was originally the lengvh of the
second joint of the forefinger, and that
twelve of these about equal the length of
the forearm, winch averages 1 about one
foot in length.
The inch used to be divided'into three
“barleycorns,” which were simply the
length of the grain or “com” of the bar
ley. The “mile” was reckoned at 1,000
paces, as its name shows, for it is de
rived from the first word of the Latin
phrase uiillia passuum, “a thousand
paces.” The origin of the “rod” is
doubtfuL--St. Louis Republic.
BIRCHALL HANGED.
HE DIES FIRMLY PROTESTING HIS INNO
CENCE.
Woodstock, November 14.—Reginald
Birchall, whose case has attracted almost
universal attention, was hanged here this
morning fer the murder of F. C. Benwell,
a fellow Englishman whom he lured to
America from England and then killed in
a lonely swamp not far from Niagara.
Birchall met his fate firmly and died with
out showing any sign of fear. His wife
called on him at 7 o’clock last evening
and was alone with him until 1 o’clock in
the morning, when there was a sorrowful
parting. Birchall spent most of the re
mainder of the night reading the Script
ures, praying and talking with Rev. Rural,
Dean Wade and the turnkey. He also ar
ranged his affairs with his executors. The
quietness of death pervaded the jail until
the hangman from Toronto came. He
noisely demanded admittance, and when
inside spoke loudly and often, so
that the guards, who have become at
tached to Birchall through his uniform
courtesy, were glad when the hangsman
unconcernedly lay down and went to sleep.
At 4 o’clock Birchall bade good-bye to
Night Guard Midgely, who had been watch
ing him. He was fearful a faked confes
sion might be given out after his death,
and ga^e out this document:
“Woodstock Gaol, November 10.1890.
—[All rights reserved.]—If, after my death,
there shail appear in the press, or in any
other manner whatsoever, any confession
that I had any hand in the murder
of F. C. Benwell, or any personal knowl
edge of said murder with intent or maliee
aforethought, or any personal connection
with the murder on the 17th of February,
or any other day, or any knowledge that
any such murder was likely to be com
mitted, or any statement further than I
may have made public previous to this
date, I hand this statement te the care of
George Perry, of Woodstock, Ontario, that
he anay know that any confession or par
tial confessions are entirely fictitious
and in no way were -ever written
by me, neither eminated from me in any
way whatever to any person, and the whole
are fictitious and without word of truth.
This likewise applies to tny story in the
Mail, in which I have made no such con
fession or partial confession. This holds
.goods throughout.
[Signed] Reg. Birchall.
At six o’clock the other prisoners were
put to work to get them out of the way,
and Birchall ate a couple of eggs,
refusing other things, though he had
eaten nothing during the night.
A crowd from the surrounding country
had by this time collected and about 200
persons, with admission cards, were let
into the jail yards. Trees, walls and other
places near by were crowded with people.
His last hours Birchall spent with Rector
Dr. Rice, the Gaol surgeon, and Mr. Lee-
tham, of Moutreal r BirehaH’s college chum,
who ha3 stuck to .him. All preparations
were -completed and the executioner
went jjp and bound Birchall’s arms. At
8:2o o’eloek the awful procession began,
Rev. Rural Dean Wade leading, in sur
plice, and reading the Church of England
service for the dead. Behind him were
the jail officers ajd the prisoner, deathly
pale, tut resolute. His step was steady.
His jet black hair and moustache made
the pallor of his face like marble.
At the jail yard the prisoner’s friend,
Leetfcam, walked with him and held one
hand dn both of his with all the assurance
of a friend’s heart clasp. The prisoner
stopped at the gallows until the
chureh service was finished.
At the gallows the prisoner had
a fixed look, lit was not of despair, but
he bad strung his whole being up to die
game. As the last words of the service
were said Birchall stepped firmly forward,
took Leetham’s hands in his, and the
friends kissed each other under the gal
lows. Birchall’s legs were bound, the
black cap put on. and the noose adjusted.
At 8c29 the signal was given, and the drop
fell. Convulsions commenced a half min
ute later, but they were Dot at
all violent, . resembling heavy
breathing with a slight twitching of
the hands and legs. At 8:30f convulsion
had cessed, aud it 8:35 Dr. Chamberlain,
who stood with, his hand on the body, de
clared that life was extinct. There was
just six minutes from the drop until the
doctor declared Birchall dead. The post
mortem was held by Dr. Odium, and Coro
ner MeLay presided at the inquest. Dr.
Chamberlain said the neck was broken.
Woodstock, Grit., November J4.—IBie
postmortem discsvered that death hid
been caused by strangulation. The usual
statuary verdict was found by the coroner’s
jury. The opinion of the Government offi
cials anl Dr. Chamberlain is, that the exe
cution was well done. Dr. Chamberlain
says he never saw ,a more finished execu
tion, and in his judgment, Birchall felt
nothing three seconds after the weight had
been tipped.
The body will be beried in the Govern
ment .yarn, but whereabouts the officials
will net divulge.
NEWS FROM WASHINGTON,
A Tall Tree Story.
Fresno county, CaL, now comes to the
front and claims ownership of the “larg
est large tree.” A party of boar hunt
ers, it is said, located it in the Sierras,
in the most ragged portion of the mount
ains, two miles north of Kentucky
Meadows. It was surrounded for a mile
by almost impenetrable underbrush, so
that the hunters went compelled to use
both knife and ax to get to it. As three
brown bears were captured near it no
doubt the hunters crept forward with
bated breath. What sent of “bait” may
be inferred from their report that the
tree was 129 feet in circumference four
feet from the ground. — Philadelphia
Ledger.
