OUTWARD BOUND,
Out upon the unknown deep,
Where the unheard oceans sound,
Where the unseen islands sleep.
Outward bound.
Following toward the silent west,
O'er the horizon’s curved rim,
On to islands of the blest,
He with me and i with him,
Outward bound.
Nothing but a speck we seem
In the waste of waters round,
Floating, floating like a dream,
Outward bound.
But within that tiny speck
Two brave hearts with one accord,
Past all tumult, pain and wreck.
Look up calm and praise the Lord,
Outward bound.

OYER THE GRADE,
BY jonx F. BARNES.
Ilalf-way up a great California moun¬
tain, upon a shelf or level space called
Johnson's Flat, a few sheds and cabins
clustered about the shaft of the Monte
Christo mine.
One of these cabins—tiie best of them
all—was occupied by the superintendent
of the mine. lie was Doctor Green, and
he had been a successful surgeon in an
Eastern city. Ill health had compelled
him to remove to these parts, and he had
taken up the occupation of mining.
Down the mountain, to Gaylord’s sta¬
tion on the Pacific RaiDoad twelve miles
away, led a narrow cart-path, called a
“grade” here. It was wide enough for
only one wagon, except in two or three
places where turn-outs had been cut into
the side of the mountain.
In such places a wagon might wait for
another to pass; and teams going up had
the right ot way. There was very little
travel on the road.
The descentfrom the cuter edge of tils
path was often almost perpendicu! r.
One bend, where the road wound around
a promontory, was called Dead Man's
Point, because tradition had it that a
man and a horse and wagon had gone
over the grade he/e, and had been dashed
to pieces on the rocks below.
Mexican There was |y F employed fcalled Pete. about the lie mine

“Old an unusually large
mule—heavy,Jbony, and extremely vic¬
ious.
This mule was used to haul the refuse
from the mouth of the mine to the
dump, and was generally attached to a
heavy and very strong two-whecled cart.
Most of the men employed about the
mine were much afraid of the animal, for
ho was always ready to use his teeth or
his heels.
lie seemed to bear a particular spite
toward Pete, and had at one time, in¬
deed, bitten and kicked him so severely
that the boy’s life was despaired of.
Pete certainly would have beeu killed if
Dennis McCarthy, the owner of the mule,
had not interposed just in time to save
his life.
As it was, Pete was badly hurt, and
might not have recovered if Mrs. Green,
the superintendent's wife, bad not taken
him to her cabin and nuTscd him back'to
life. The grateful boy had the deepest
affection for Mrs. Green after this, and
the deadliest fear of Old Lightning.
One day in May, when the supply
wagon from Johnson’s Flat returned
from Gaylord’s with a load, loau, a a telegram xeicgram
from tho East was brought to Ain.
Green. It stated that her her niece, uiccc, an in
valid, had been takcu worse, and had
been ordered to go to California imme¬
diately; and that she would arrive at
Gaylord’s on the following Monday.
Preparations were made at once to
meet the invalid young lady at the sta
tion and bring her up the mountains as
comfortably as possible. The camp
wagon was stuffed with mattresses and
pillows, and a safe team of mules pro
vided.
Pete was to he taken as driver. He
was an excellent driver, understood the

The train from the East was due at
eleven o'clock in the forenoon, but was
scldom on time, and had lately been
many hours late on accouut of a washout.
Arrangements were made, there'ore. for
Mrs. Green and the invalid girl to rc

at Johnson’s Flat expected them

with Dennis in full pursuit at an
widening distance behind,
The men, who were just leaving
mine, g ithered at a place where

Dead Men’s Point, nearly two miles
low.
“Sure.” sai d one of the miners, “I
hope thec^^^^^^^nthe gr.wje
lo*
no danger to any one but Old Lightning,
and I’m thinking he'li never cart any
more tailings.”
Among the others who stood lookiug
down the grade was the superintendent,
Doctor Green. The flying cart and
mule were momentarily lost sight of at a
slight curve, and most of the meu were
looking at the figure of Dennis far be¬
hind, but running as if his life depended
upon it.
Suddenly the superintendent he uttered
an exclamation of horror, and and
several others rushed forward to the edge
of the flat.
Just coming into view at Dead Man’s
Point, and turning the curve so that the
precipice was at its very wheel, was the
camp wagon. In it were Mrs. Green,
the invalid girl, and Pete; and the mule
and heavily loaded cart were almost up¬
on them.
There was barely enough room for one
wagon. They must go over the grade,
fall the dreadful distance and be crushed
below.
The people at the mine did not know
exactly what happened until Mrs. Green
was ab'e to tell her story; and this is
what she said:
“As soon as we reached Gaylord’s we
learned that the Overland train had been
telegraphed as on time, greatly to the
surprise of every one; and at eleven
o’clock it arrived with my niece, Alice,
on board.
“IVe took dinner at Mrs. Atwood’s,
where we had arranged tired to stay ovc.
night; and as niece was of travel,
and as I knew that tho accommodations
we had prepared for her at home were
better than she could obtain at Gaylord's
I made up my mind to push on up the
mountain.
“As we were driving away, Mrs At¬
wood called to us, and came running out
with a large blue cotton umbrella.
“ ‘You’d better take this,’ she said;
‘you arc going just away from the sun,
and it will shine in at the back of the
wagon and make the poor girl uncom¬
fortable if you don’t have something to
shade her.’
“IVo took it, although I hardly
thought it would be neecssury to spread
it.
“The mules kept along at the rate of
about three oViock or four miles ai^hour, approaching so
* that at five wc were
Dead Man’s Point.
“Alice, lying back upon her pillows,
had been much charmed all the way by
the scenery. So, as wc came to Dead
Mau's Point, and stopped to allow the
team to take breath, 1 called her atten¬
tion to the grandeur of the view here.
“But she could hardly look at it, she
was iu such fear of the deep chasm of
the canon on our left hand, which wc
seemed almost to overhang.
“While wc looked, and I assured her
(L-at there was not the slightest danger,
I heard ail exclamation from Pete. Look¬
iug up the grade, I saw, coming like a
whirlwind around a little bend, Old
Lightning, with his heavy cart bounding
i behind him.
i “I saw it as one secs objects revealed
by a flash of lightning iu a dark night.
Instantly I thought of our fate, for noth¬
ing could stop him, and when ha struck
us we must be hurled over the precipice.

“It was well wo had such a stock of

This was the faithful account of what
happened which Mrs.Grcen told her hus¬
band later. He himself could have told
with what emotions he met the little
procession on its way up to the camp.
His services as a doctor were needed
by ali three of the peoplo in the wagon,
by poor mangled Pete, who lay uncon¬
scious; by the sick girl, now fainting;
and by his wife, upon whom a nervous
reaction had fallen.
But his skill was equal to the need.
One of Pete’s logs was broken, and ho
had suffered other injuries. The bone
was set and the wounds dressed; and

Flower Making in Paris.
“The manufacture of flowers and also
of feathers for millinery purposes in
France is a family affair,” said O. B.
Tennis, the well-known importer, after
a two months’ stay in Paris. “For in¬
stance,” continued Mr. Tennis, “one
family devotes itself to the making of

ami his wifo are equal partners and the
children, and sometimes young relatives,
who come up from the country for that
purpose, assist in the work. Notwith¬
standing the tact that France furnishes
the largest proportion of these goods for
the world, there is not within its limits
what wo here in America know as a
manufactory for making them. Each
worker is a specialist, and those who
work with him are individually interest¬
ed in the work. Nothing is scamped or
slurred.
“There are some of these people,"
said Mr. Tennis, “whoare real artists. It

GOLDEN LIGHT.
Oh, the light that lies in a maiden’s eyes !
As she meets the fervid glance of her :
lover.
Is brighter far than the gleam of the star
That shines iu the darkness above her. t

The bloom of the rose defying, ^
O’er her countenance flies as the n5a *^ e ^5j

And the sound of her voice so thrilling,
Makes a lover crave to become her slave,
Her slightest behest fulfilling.

IVashing Paper Money.
Have you ever washed filthy lucre?
never heard of such a thing until recent «
ly, when, says a New York correspond wi
cut of the Chicago A fetes, I happened ti
be making a social call at the home of a
well known physician in this city. Paus¬ |j
ing a moment at tiie open floor of his
0 flj ce to give him a frieudly greeting I
DOticc j a row of “greenbacks” stretched hanging till
on s t r j, ): r that was from
washstand to the chimney-piece. “I am
just washing some money,” he said.
“Have you ever seen it done? I do it
because I get money from all kinds of
people, and it is often so horribly dirty o
that I know it is a breeding-place fo< y
microbes, so I wash every grimy and
ragged bill that comes to me. Give nj
me oue of yours and I will show you.”
With some misgivings of courage and ty
sinkings of heart I handed him a $10
bill which was excessively dilapidated,
and never did anxious hen gaze with
more forlorn hope over her duckling
about to enter the water than did I over
my solitary treasure. Words cannot de
scribe what agony I suffered as the Au
physician lathered its face generously .
with soap and began a vigorous rubbing.
Then rinsing it off in cold water he »t,
squeezed it dry aud, smoothing it out
again, hung it in the warm sunshine. To
my surprise, in a few moments it stiff¬
ened itself up and became ■ clean,
crisp, new, self-respecting product of the
United States Treasury instead of the
limp disgrace that I had been carrying
about in my pockctbook. If you don't

which sells for forty or fifty cents an
ounce, and make a solution of it in the
water. Introduce this into the stable or
cesspool, and after a few dsn take some
of the well water and boil it down in a
porcelain dish until a quart of the water
has been reduced to about half an ounce.
Dip a wire in the water thus boiled and
hold it over a common spirit lamp. If
there is any presence of lithium in it the
flames will be colored red. It * 3 some¬
times necessary, however, to have an ex¬
