•‘SHUTTING OUT CARE."
We may open the door to our neighbors,
Anil open the door to our friends;
Yfie may entertain guests at our table,
While friendship with courtesy blends;
We may gather our dear ones about us—
* Our helpmeet and children so fair—
Eut let ns forget not to banish
From these tender meetings, dnll care.
It watches st doors and at windows-.
It whistles through oiannies and cracks;
It giveth ihe good man the headache;
It pinehe-. and tortures aud racks.
It sits down unasked at the tab e;
It crouches beside too down bed;
It takes all the brightness from slumber,
It takes all the sweetness from b ead.
Of a 1 lliin - s to make onr lives happy,
Of all things to make our paths fair,
There is nothing fiom Home's cheerful fireside
So sacred like shutting out care.

Love’s Story.
Mr. Paul Persimmon had just fin¬
ished his evening toilet.
He was a handsome young man of
some six-and-twenty verdant springs,
with a yellow mustache and hair to cor¬
respond, a pink complexion, like ac
overgrown masculine doll, and big blu.
eyes which were prononneed “sweet’
by all the yonng ladies of his acquaint¬
ance ; and as he stood there, in the gl<>
ries of a pearl-colored suit, with laveudei
kid gloves, cameo shirt-studs and an in¬
tangible odor of eau dc patchouly altont
his initialed pocket-handkerchief; one
could bnt think of the wax young gen¬
tlemen in the “drapers’ and tailors’ ’
windows on Broadway.
Mr. Persimmon was very handsome,
spoke with a slight lisp and waltzed like
a Parisian—and Mr. Persimmon was on
the lookout for matrimonial promotion !
“Paul must marry rich,” said all his
friends. “He conld no more buffet with
the waves of adverse fortune than a gold
fish could swim among Arctic icebergs.
Poor, dear Paul! he must certainly have
a wife with money! ’
And so Mr. Persimmon himself
thought. He had never been educated
to do anything except quote poetry aud
look handsome, but these things he cer¬
tainly accomplished to perfection. Aud
he was just issuing from his apartment
in Mrs. Gustabrook's first-class board¬
ing house when Major Milfoil met him
face to face.
“Hallo !’’ cried Mr. Persimmon, cor
dially, extending one trim, little gloved
hand.
“Hallo, old fellow,” responded Major
Milfoil, cavalierly. “I was jnBt coming
up to talk over last night’s party with
you. But yon are going out—well, I'll
walk with you a part of tho way.”
And he passed his arm through that
of Mr. Persimmon, adding:
“Charming evening, wasn’t it?”
“Delightful,”drawled the exquisite,
swinging his tiny ebony cano back aud
forth as he walked. “But Miss Ellerj
does always give such tip-top enteriain
mi nts 1”
“You, at least, appeared to enjoy it,"
said his friend, good-hnraoredly. “I
xaw you flirting desperately with some
girl or other !’’
Mr. Persimmon smiled, and pulled his
flaxen mustache.
“Y*e—es!” he observed, consciously.
“I’ve pretty much made up my mind iu
that quarter f”
“A foregone conclusion, eh?” said
Mi j >r Milfoil. “Well, at all events, she
is very pretty in the bright sparkling
style of ieminiue loveliness, and she
dresses well, too. May I venture to ask
her name, aud what may be her local
habitation ?”
“On, of course," asserted Mr. Persim
mon. ‘1 was going to caii there this
morning as soon as I'd been round by
the club house, and stopped in at the
Montmartere Hotel for a few minutes.
She is staying at No. - Meridon
street, and her name is Miss St. Os¬
borne !”
“Miss St. Osborne 1”
“Yes—what is there so peculiar about
the name? It’s rather unusual to be
sure, but-”
“And No. -Meridon street?"
“Ex civ so,” was the somew’u
puzzled answer. “Now will you be
good enough to tell mo wlmt you are
opi ning vour eves no wide for?”
“Nothing,” M j ir Milfoil answered
vitb a slight shrug of his shoulders;
“ixoept that the Miss St. Osborne who
boards with Mrs. Parker at No. -
Meridon street, is a mnsio teacher, and
gives lessons to my brother’s three little
giris.”
Mr. Persimmon stopped short in the
very flood-tide of pedestriauism that
flows at noonday round the corner of
Broadway and Fourteenth street, and let
fall the tiny ebony cane in hisconsterna
tion.
“Eh ?” he ejaculated, feebly; “a
mn-ic-teaeher ? Why, I always sup
posed she was an heiress."
“Who told you so?” asked Milfoil,
wondering !y,
“Well, I can’t say that any one ever
told me so,” answered Mr. Persimmon
“but—but I somehow got the impres
lion. Why, she wears such splendid
solituire diamonds!”
“Hired, prolmbly, or borrowed for the
occasion.” suggested Major Milfoil.
“And dresses exquisitely.”
“That’s easily done, if one happens to
have rich relations.”
Mr. Persimmon smote his lily Rmootb
forehead with his left lavender-kidded
palm.
“A music teacher!” he reiterated,
‘Well, I do say, Milfoil, it’s a deuce of
a shame to pnll wool over a feliow’s eyes
in this sort of fashion. Why, she must
be a regular husband-hnnter.”
“Granted that she is,” returned Major
Milfoil, quietly, “what are you but a
wife-hunter ?”
“Oh—well—nodonbt- very possibly,”
acknowledged Mr. Persimmon, not
without a very visible spice of confnsion;
“bnt the cases are quite different.”
“Will you explain to me the differ¬
ence?” persisted Milfoil, maliciously.
“A music teacher ! Upon my word, it
is disgraceful,” went on Paul Persim
mon. “And I had almost proposed to j
her. Dear, dear, what a narrow escape !
I’ve had,” and be wiped his forehead -
with his patchouly-scented pocket hand¬
kerchief. “Think cf me living np in the
fourth floor of a third rate boarding
hoose and my wife giving lessons to
support ns!”
And as Major Milfoil looked at Lie
companion’s effeminate countenance and
listened to his words, he could not bnt
think that Miss St.fOsborne had had s
lucky escape.
Miss Laura St. Osborne was sitting in
tier lnxurions room at Mrs. Parker’s
fashionable boarding house that same
morning, looking extremely pretty in a
morning negligee of rose colored cash
mere, while her silky black carls were
tied back with a broad fillet of pink rib¬
bon, end diamonds sparkled like so many
big, limpid dewdrops on her pretty
fingers. She was a brilliant little bru¬
nette, with peachy-red cheeks, long,
dark eyelashes and brows as black and
perfectly arched as if they had been oat
lined with a pencil dipped ia jet.
Opposite to her, at the mirror, toe
tween the two wiudows, a tall, slen-lei
girl of eighteen was trying on a plain,
little black silk bonnet.
“Are you going already, Eitelle?”
yawned the Uriental-eyuJ beauty.
“1 must, Cousin Laura. 1 have a
lesson to give at one o’clock at Mrs.
DemeteyV.”
“Busy little bee 1” laughed Miss St.
Osborne. “Really, Stella, yon make
mo almost ashamed of my own dolce
far nie.nte life 1”
“But you are rich, Laura, and I am
poor 1”
' Nevertheless, you will not accept
p?cun ; ary aid from me, you haughty
spirited damsel 1”
E telle St. Osborne shook her head.
“I would rather be independent,” said
she, calmly.
“So I must remain alone to receive
the visit of my handsome little adorer,
Paul Persimmon,” laughed Laura.
Estelle looked keenly at her.
“Laura, do you like Mr. Persim¬
mon ?”
“A little 1” was the gayly defiant an¬
swer. “Yon do not ?”
“I have only seen him at a distance,
you know—but to me he seems frivolous
aud shallow 1’
“He is very handsome,” Laura
dreamily observed.
“Yes, but beauty is not everything !”
And, so speaking, Estelle St. Osborne
left the room.
Three hours afterward she re-entered
to find Lanra still alone.
“Well, did you enjoy Mr. Persim¬
mon’s call ?”
Laura ponted her pretty oherry lips.
“Mr. Persimmon has not been here
at all, Edelle,” she answered.
“But I thought he asked permission
to call on you this morning ?”
“So he did—but it seems that he has
not decided to avail himself of tho .
granted permission, Estelle 1” with n
bright, sudden toss of the jetty cascade
of curls, “let’s go for a walk down Fifth
avenue—it is too lovely a day to shut
one’s self up in the house !”
And the two cousins set off for a walk
on the fashionable thoroughfare.
As luck, or rather Cupid, would have
It, almost the first person they met was
Mr. Paul Persimmon himself, saunter¬
ing gracefully along, in his pearl-colored
suit and his ebony cme, one arm passed
through that of a gentleman—not, how¬
ever, Major Milfoil, this time.
Laura's face brightenel — she half
ponsed—but Mr. Persimmon, averting
his countenance, hurried on, and she
could hear him say iu a quiet and aud¬
ible voice:
“A mere music-teacher I I never was
s>> astonished iu all my life 1 Why, I
supposed-’’
And distance swallowed up the re¬
mainder of Ihe speech.
Laura St. O-b irue’s oheek flushed
scarlet with indignation — her heart
throbbed high.
“EJeilel” she said, “you are right.
tie is a fool, and a shallow one at
that.”
Mi«s St. O borne mot him at a party
chut- seif same evening, but neither
■ought tho companionship of the other.
Ihe subtle chains had been snapped
asunder —tho electric charm dissolved !
A month afterward Mr. Persimmon
met a friend on the street, or rather an
acquaintance, one Mr. Howard Boyn¬
ton.
“My dear fellow !” he cried, seizing
nim by a button of the coat, “is this
true that I hear about yon?’
“Is what true!” Mr. Boynton de¬
manded, composedly.
"That you are engaged to Miss St.
Osborne.”
“Quite true !”
“Miss Laura St. Osborne?”
“Yes.”
“But—she is a music-teacher !”
“That would make not a hair’s differ¬
ence in my estimate of her, even were
<t true,” Mr. Boynton haughtily ob¬
served. "But it happens that you are
completely mistaken. Miss Eslello St.
O Jiorne gives lessons iu music, thereby
elevating herself in my estimation
through her high-sonled independence;
out her cousin, Miss Lanra, is heiress
lo a fortune, in her own right, of over
one hundred thousand dollars !” Aud
Mr. Boynton, extricating himself from
the grasp of the perfumed little dandy,
walked quietly on, leaving the latter
gentleman transfixed with astonishment
and dismay.
He had let the heiress slip through
his fingers after all! And a hundrel
thousand dollars! Paul Persimmon
grew pale as he thought of it!
“It’s all Milfoil s fault f” he cried
querulously to himself. “But I never
will believe what people say again.”
What a pity it was that onr dapper
little hero’s good resolutions had come
too late.

It was shown at the recent conference
that there are 420,000 persons confined
iu this country in penal and reformatory
institutions of one kind or another. Of
this vast number, 105,586 are children '
under sixteen years of age, and 38,857
are between sixteen and twenty-one.
Yet of these only 17,108 are confined in
reformatory institutions.
An interesting scene was witnessed at j
Franklin, Ga., in which a dog proved
his value. While a fat hen was near the i
dog a large, hungry hawk, charmed
with her plumpness, attempted to seize
a rich meal. The dog seemed amused, ,
and watched the fight until it was plain !
to him that the hen was losing strength,
when he bounced upon the hawk and
killed it.
A flea, one-sixteenth of an inch in
length, can jump a distance of twenty

common gray rabbit jumps about nine

as a rabbit, would have to clear 64 feet
at a jump. There is no quadruped that
has such powerful muscles in his quar¬
ters as the rabbit, and none excel him in
the muscles of his loiu and back.

paper.
Mohammed Ahmed, the religions head
of the Soudanese insurrection, is a man
of about 40 years of age. He is a native
of Dongola, one of the oldest towns of
Abyssinia. This town, situated on the
Nile, had its day of splendor and power
in the middle ages, but now it has only
three or four hundred inhabitants. Mo
bammed Ahmed was born of poor par
ents. His father was named Abdellahi
and his mother Amina, One of the
few Europeans who know him personally
—M. Penev, of Khartoum—gives us tho
following account of this man:
When 7 years of age Mohammed
Ahmed commenced to attend the Mus
sulman school, and when 12 years old
he had completed the study of the
Koran. For the means of pursuing his
religious education he was indebted to
his brothers, who were established as
carpenters and boat builders. They en¬
abled him to pursue his studies iu the
neighborhood of Khartoum uuder the
instruction of such able masters as El
Gomtohem and Abdel Tyim, son of the
famous sheik Et Tayeb. When his ed¬
ucation was completed he removed to
the island of Dabo, on the White Nile.
He had lived there fifteen years ven
mated by the Baggarah, when he an¬
nounced himself as the Mahdi, or Divine
Messenger, destined to regenerate Islam.
Thia enterprise has up to the present
succeeded. Has not the East
alwa y s l jroved a prosperous sphere for
all religious innovators? The new
Prophet enlisted iu his train the major
of tLe P°P« la J iou of the Egyptian
Soudan, and in three years of warfare
he succeeded in expelling the Turks,
who had occupied the country for sixty
years. The insurrection burst forth
with fury in 3880. Tae Governor of the
Soudan sent two successive expeditions
iu 1881 against the Mahdi. Both met
the same fate; the Egyptian soldiers
were annihilated by the partisans of the
Prophet. Iu 1882 a third expedition
followed, but the insurrection had grown
in strength and importance, and seven
hundred Egyptians were encountered by
fifty thousand Arabs, or n°groes, com¬
manded by Mohammed’s two brothers.
They were necessarily annihilated.
The whole of Sennaar then uprose.
The Mahdi marched on El Obeid, and,
after a vigorous siege and a bloody fight,
captured that city. The succeeding
events are in the memory of all—Hicks’
expedition and his defeat at Kasgell;
that of Baker Pasha at El Teb; the de¬
parture of Gordou for Khartoum, his
blockade aud vigorous resistance. But
it is cliitfly to the personality of the
Mahdi that this article is dedicated, and
we conclude it bv reproducing his por¬
trait as drawn by M. Peney.
Ahmed-Mohammed is amau of middle
stntnre. His complexion is copper
colored, his beard very black, and or
each cheek he bears three parallel
scars. He is extremely spare, the prob
uble result of ihe rigorous fasts to which
lie condemns himself. Previous to his
entering upon active life he used to dwell
in a subtetrancan cell or cave, where, ac
cowling to his followers, he was contin¬
ually weeping over the universal cor¬
ruption oi his race. The Mahdi always
wears as his invariable costume a shirt
and drawers of damoni, a coarse ma¬
terial of native manufacture. His feet
are clothed with saud ils, and a small
turban surmounts Ins head.
Such is the mttn who now leads the
Egyptian rebellion. Like ali Eastern
agitators, he burst forth suddenly from
the greatest obscurity to assumo the
united roles of reformer and conqueror
Yesterday but a poor man, to-day we see
him at the head of an innumerable
army, What is the secret ot this rapid
change of fortune? It is found in the
tact that Mahdi has appealed to that
sentiment which, as history testifies, in
every age aud iu every clime has been
the parent of the bitterest rancor, led
to the most savage wars, and deluded
the earth with blood—religious fanati¬
cism.
Build's Very Smart lloy.
In the flush stock times, when W. C.
Bndd was the idol of the Stock Board
aud many who are now satisfied with
bear aud sandwiches could not endure
anything but champagne, he hud a boy
in his office who made a little turn in
speculation and he determined to go on
a little tour of the State. He got a holi¬
day and started. At last he reached Los
Angeles and there he met a conple of
card speculators, who took the chances,
with more or less certainty, at poker.
Two days after this meeting Budd re¬
ceived a telegram:
“W. C. Budd, San Francisco: Please
send me 8200 to pay my debts aud ex¬
penses back. ”
Mr. Budd did not answer. The young
gentleman evidently proceeded to "tackle
the poker game again, aud next day
Build received another telegram:
"W. C. Bndd, San Francisco: Please
send me 8-300 to pay my debts and ex¬
penses back. ”
Still Mr. Bndd did not reply, and next
day came this:
“Wayman O. Budd, San Francisco:
Send me 8400.”
Budd was getting annoyed. So was
the clerk apparently, for he telegraphed
again:
“Budd. San Francisco: Send me
$500.”
Mr. Bndd took the money nnd went
and telegraped it to Los Angeles.
“Way did you do it ?” said a friend.

a place. Corwin looked at the papers
and, pointing to his own signature, said:
“This is a strong endorsement, sir."
The man nodded. “And did that not
get you a place under the former Secre¬

“It did not,” was the reply.
“Well! If that endorsement was not
