THE LIGHT OF HOPE.
IIY M. TIXSI.EY.
I lie course of the weariest river
Euds in the great gray sea;
The acorn forever and ever,
strives upward to flic tree
The rainbows, the sky adorning,
Shines promise through the storm ;
The glimmering of cumming morning
T hrough midnight gloom will form.
I3y time all knots are riven,
Complex although they be,
And peace wi 1 at last be given,
Dear, both to you and to me.
Then, though the path may tie dreary,
Look onward to the goal ;
Though the heart aud the bead be weary,
Let taitb inspire the soul :
Seek the right though the wrong be
tempting :
Speak the truth at any cost;
Vain is all weak exempting
When once the gim is lest.
Let strong hand and keen eye be ready
For plain aud ambushed foes ;
Though earnest and fancy steady
Bear blest uuta tlie close.
The heavy clouds may be milling,
But with evening comes Ibe light;
Though the low winds are complaining,
Yet the sunrise gilds tlie height ;
Love has its bidden treasure
For the patient and the pure ;
And dime gives bis fullest measure
To tlie workers who endure.
And the word that no law has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied,
For we know that when we “awaken”
We shall be “saisfied. ”
THE JNEW COOK.
‘‘There is one t liing you musin’!
forget, Brother Tom !”
“What is that. Emma?”
“Don’t forget lo go lo llie help
office and send me up a cook.
The new girl is gooff for nothing,
and the old one can’t do every
llimg. Black or white, young or
old, man or woman, I don’t care
only send me tip a competent
cook by len o'clock lliis morn
> g-’’
“Do.i’l look so desperate, sis;
1,11 remember it. 1 want tilings
in pretty good style lor Maxwell ;
he is used to it—is fond ot good
dinners; and I guess I'll send
you up a good, smart man-cook,
Emma.”
“I hope Mr. Maxwell won’t ex
pect things too nice ; but I’ll do
my best in other mailers, Tom, it
you’ll only provide someone ca
pable of serving a good dinner.”
Mr. Thomason Maye disappear
ed with a reassuring nod. He
had a proverbially bad memory;
pretty-Emma Maye knew it, very
well, yet in this desperate emer
gency she trusted him. Dan
gerous ; but what could she do ?
During tlie two years she had
had charge of her widowed
brother’s family they had been
blessed by tlie most skillful of
cooks; but Joan bad taken a
fancy to get married, and her
place was hastily supplied by
one who soon proved incapable.
Just at this juncture Mr. Maye
received tidings that his deceas
ed wife’s favorite brother, Artiiur
Maxwell, just returned from Eu
rope, would pay him a visit.
Tlie Maxwell family were noted
for their wealth and good breed
ing, and Arthur especially was
distinguished for bis agreeabilily.
From the first, Emma had been
nervous over the responsibility
of entertaining this elegant
young man whom she had never
seen. She was lovely and ac
complished ; but site could not
cook —in fact she had never tried.
Certainly, it seemed task enough
for a young lady of twenty to su
perinteud a family consisting of
iter brother and horseßv two boys
and their tutor, two little girls
and their nurse-maid, with two
other servants. But though ar
duous, it had- been well per
formed.
The house was the perfection
of neatness and ta-ste.- tlie chil
dr-'ti well trained and Emma was
much beloveil in her brother's
family. The taller she had been
devoted to in sickness an and
health, and lie gratefully intend
ed to make her task as light as
possible. But, as I have said, he
had a proverbially bad memory,
and, unfortunately, Emma bad
been obliged to trust to it.
It was half past seven when
Mr. Maye went down town. He
took nothing but a cup of coffee
at seven, and lunched at hi? fa
vorite restaurant at eleven. At
half past three the Maye's dined,
and Mr. Maxwell was expected
by I lie t liree- ten I r in.
“There !” sighed Emma, when,
two hours after tier brother's de
parture, the house was in its us
ual exquisite order and tlte vi
ands and flowers sent up for din
ner ; “if Tom dosen’t forget.and if
lie sends up a good cook, every
thing will be nice enough.”
Nhe did not dare consider tbe
possibility of Tom’s having for
gotten, or that of the cook not
coming for any other reason ; but
when, precisely at ten o’clock,
the door bell rang,a secret weight
was lilted from her heart. She
ran herselt to answer the sum
mons.
A medium sized, weli-dressed,
modest looking young man stood
at the entrance and she bright
ened at sight of him.
“I am very glad you are so
punctual ; I was afraid 1 should
be disappointed,” she said, lead
ing the way to the kitchen, with
out an instant's delay. “Let me
see—len o’clock. I shall have to
set you at work at once to pre
pare a first-class dinner. We are
expecting company front New
York, my cook has left tne, and 1
do not myself know anything
about cooking. What is your
name?” literally bereaving tlie
young man of his hat. and hang
ing it as high out of reach as pos
sible.
His reply was rather faint, but
she thought she caught it.
“Ma ? You do not look tike
an Irishman. Rut it doesn’t
make any difference. Are you
a good cook ?”
Tne smile of the young man
was rather puzzling.
Till do my bes !,” he said,
pleasantly.
“You see there’s nothing in tlte
nouse but. old chicken,” contin
ued Emma, unconsciously wring
ing her little hands as site con
tinued to address Hie new cook,
who certainly listened very at
tentively. “But my brother has
sent up some pigeons—to be
roasted, I suppose.”
,‘Yes’m.”
“Can you make a celery salad ?*’
‘ I think I can.”
“And Mayonnaise sauce for
the cold chicken ?”
“Yes’tn.”
“Can you make a French
soup?”
“I can.
“Oh, well, I guess you will do,Y
beginnig lo looked relieved. ‘.Be
sure the vegetables are not ever
done, and the coffe good —my
brother is very particular about
his coffe. And we will have a
Florentine pudding!” with an in
quiring look.
“Yes'in,” readily.
The new cook was alreaA* gird
ing himself with one of the
white towels that lay on the dies
ser, tuff casting a scrutinizing
glance at the range tire.
Quite reassured in spirit, Em
ma was turning away, when she
stopped to add :
“I’ll lay tlie table myself to day
Mac, and fill the Iniit-dishes and
vases; but. if you give satisfaction.
1 will entrust you with the key of
the china closet, and you will
have the ontiro Cafe of the table;”
and with a gracious nod the
young lady with drew from the
kitchen.
She piled the fruit dishes
ws tii rosy pears, golden oranges'
aud white grapes; filled the vas
es with loses, lilies and fierns;]
set clusters cf dainty gisses, filled ]
with amber jelly, among the sti
ver and china, and then, with a
sigh of satisfaction at the result,
ran away lo dress.
“I’ll not go near the kitchen to
even smell of the dinner. I don’t j
know any thing about cooking it,
and will trust to luck. I have an j
idea that Mac is real capable—is I
going to prove a real treasure. ;
His dress was so neat, and he was
so quiet aud respectful,” conclu- :
ded Emma, leisurely arranging
her bags.
Her new dress, with its abund
ant lace aud cardinal ribboti3, was
very becoming, and fitted the oe
file round figure so perfectly that
Emtna fell at peace with all the
world.
“I have heard that Mr. Arthur j
Maxwell is very fastidious in the !
matter of ladies’ dress.” mused]
I Emma, twisting iter shoulder to'
jtlie effect of her sash. “I won
der what his first impression of me
will be! 1 should like to ha%-e
poor Ally’s brother like me.”
At length the iast bracelet was
clasped, the last touch given, and
retiring backward from the mir
j ror, with a radiant tace, Emtna
turned, ran up to the nursery, to
order the children dressed for
c itnpany, and also to speak with
thd boys, and, it must be con
fessed, tliit a little with Mr .Vin
| cent, the tutor, who was always at
! her service tor his exercise.
There was a delightful savory
order prevailing the house, when
came down and made a few
amendrnents of the table. Be
fore Alice died she iiad painted
an exqui-ile ebony ring for her
brother, and this E nina placed
with the napkin designed for Mr.
Arthur Marc well, thinking how
! artistic amb pretty everything
was, and deciding that tlie gen
tleman's first impression must be
pleasant.
She looked at her watch, five
minutes past three. Then she
went softly to the end of the hall,
and listened to the lively clatter
111 the kitchen. She could hear
Mac chatting pleasantly with the
lit tie housemaid, Nancx, and all
seemed to be well in that direc
tion.
At three ten she repaired to
the drawing-room, and took a
seat overlooking the street. Car
riages came and carriages went,
but none slopped at tlie entrance,
ilie little girls, brave in netv rib
bons, came down, Mr. Maye’s
latch-key settled in the door, tlte
dinner-bell rang,
“Not come ?" asked Mr. Maye.
at sight of Emma's' disappointed
face.
“Not,” she pouted ;• “and such
a nice dinner!”
“Very strange!” mused that
gentleman, leading the Way into
the dining-room. “I hadn't the
least doubt—Why, my dear fel
low,” seizing by the shoulders
the new cook, who, acting also as
butler, had just placed the soup
tureen upon the table—“my
dear, fellow why how is this? Em
ma declared you hadn’t coute!”
Thai young lady grew as white
as tlie table-cloth, and grasped a
chair lor support.
“That Mr. Arthur Maxwell ?
I—l thought it was the cook ?”
“I came earlier than I expected,
and in time to be useful to
Miss Emma,” laughed Mr. Max
well, divesting himself of his
white towel and bowing With ex
quisite grace to that young lady.
The cultivated accents, tlie
ambrosial locks of the bent head,
the dear, eloquent, beautiful
eyes—oh, Why hadn’t she known- j
ITow could she have fallen into
such an error ?
“It was so terribly anxious—l •

didn’t look at you twice. Mr.
Maxwell, I hope your will forgive?
me!" stammered Emma, as red
now as she hrfd been prfle. |
‘ There is nothing to forgive, if
my dinner tntns ont well,” he
added, laughing, evidently the
sweetest tempered man inf the
world. “I learned 16 cook When
f whs a student in Paris —a
Frenchman taught me. I have
been rather proud of my culinary
skill, but lam a little otrt of
practice now, and am not quite
sure of tbe Florentine.”
‘ Emma!’’ cried Mr.- Maye,
"what does ail this mean f ’
“Why, John, you promised to
send me up a man-cook.”
Mr. Maye clasped his htudff
tragically.-
“Emma, 1 forgot itP’
“Well he came just at ten
o’clock. 1 thought ire was the
cook; I urslrered him into the'
kitchen. among tliffTpots and Dans.
I questioned him as tor what he
knew about cooking. 1 urged
mm to make all haste and serve
the dinner: and—and I called
him Mac! ’ sobbed Emma, hyster
ically.
“No offense,- Miss Emma. My
grand father, on my mother's
side—Major Trealaway—was an'
Irishman,” observed Mr. Max
well, coolly. “And, since I
done my best, won’t you trv tne
soup before it is cold ?”
‘•l'he others sfared, and Emma
cried ; but Mr. Maye laughed—
laughed uproariously.
-The best joke of the season f
Sit right dowii, everybody Em*
f na, you foolish girl, dou’t cry.'
Arthur dosen't care- And as lor
y our Florentine—Arthur, tell
Nannie to bring it on. The proof
•1 the pudding is the eating, yotr
know, “Miss E'.nrrra won’t cry
when she tastes nry soup,” re
n irked Arthur, ladding it ouf
jrninptly,- with at; air of pride.
When they ail fell to tasting
itid praising, and urging Emir
o taste and praise, until she
iaughed and all together.
But Mr. Arthur was so de
lightful, so winning and so witty,’
-o kind to his agitated young
lostess, and he’d cooked such an
excellent dinner—from the pig
eons to the pudding, everything
was perfect. By-and-by Emma
was herself again.
‘‘This has taught me a' fesaoil,”
she said. "I neyer will be so
desperately situated rgaiu. I will
team io cook.”
“Let me teach you,” said Ar
thur.
lie drd. And Emma taugl £
him to love her. There was a

To Sleepy Eat Onion?.
i venture to suggest a nCw bat sim
ple remedy fob Want of Sleep, says a
man who has had experience. Opiates,*
in any form*, even the lienor’ opii sad .it
and chloroform will leave traces of
their influence next, morning, [, there
f .re, prescribe fur myself—and have
frequently done so for others—ouiobs ;
simply couim n onions,- raw, but
Spanish onions stewed Will do. Aitf
know the taste of ouitms ; this is due
to a peculiar essential oil contained in
this most valuable and’ healthy root.
The oil has,-1 atn sure, highly sopor
ific powers. If lam much' pressed* with 1
work and feel that i shall not sleep, f
eat two or three small ohiohsy and the
effect is magical. Onions am also ex
cellent things to eat when much ex
posed to intense oold. Finally, if a‘
person cannot sleep, it is' because the
j blood is in the brain, and not in the
i stomach. The remedy, therefore, is
| obvious. Call the blood down from
the brain to the stomach. Tills is to’
be done by eating a' biscuit, a hard
boiled egg, a bit of bread and oheese,
or something. Follow this up with a*
glass of milk, or even water, and you
will fail asleep, and will, 1 trufet, blosw
