THE BELLS OF LYNN.
When th# eve is growing gray, snd the
tide is rolling in,
I sit and look across the bay to the bonny
town of Lynn,
And the fisher folks are near,
Bnt I wish they never hear.
He songs the far bells make for me, the
bonny bells of Lynn,
The folks ars chatting gay, and I hear
their merry din,
But I look and look across the bay to th*
bonny town of Lynn;
He told me to wait here
Upon the old brown pier,
Tb wait and watch him coming when the
tide was rolling in.
Oh, I see him puffing strong, pulling o’er
the bay to me,
And I hear his jovial song, and his merry
face I see;
And now he’s at the pier,
My bonny love and dear 1
And be's coming up the sea-washed steps
with bands outstretched to me.
Oh, my love, your cheek is cold, and your
hands are stark and thin 1
Oh, hear you not tlie bells oi old, the
bonny bells of Lynn ?
Oh, have you naught to gay
Upon onr wedding day ?
Love, hear yon not the weddir.g bells across
tbe Bay of Lynn ?
Oh, my lovor, speak to me! and hold me
fast, mine own I
For I fear this rising sea, and these winds
and waves that moan 1
But never a word he said 1
He is dead, my love is dead '

ONLY A COUNTRY GAWK.
BX 1 . W. WATSON.
Jabez Brown Tiffany was a country
boy—a half, real country boy—not a half anil
brought up in a village, or a viai
tant to New York every few months,
where ho could acquire some of the vices
of tbe city to snpplement the sometimes

he was 18, though still a boy all over,
and hail never been to New York, strolling or
even to a circus, or any of the
shows that happened into Fitohley, tho
little town five miles away from where
he lived.
He lived in a little, dilapidated honse
on the hank of a little creek » a little bit
of ground about it, with a little old man,
his grandfather, who brought him there
when he wus six years old and lmd kept
him there ever since, utterly ignorant of
his past old life, and could with give only such himself, education

summer, and at Washington in winter,

at work, in one way or another, aroniid
among the neighbors, and whatever ho
earned ho brought to the old man, so
that they ought—as Jabez had often
heard people say—to havo lived hotter
than they did.' As for Jabez lie eared

the woods were done away with, and the
hours of association cut down, such, for
instance, as sitting out in the arbor at
night until 9 o’clock, while Mehy told
him stories about what she had read and
been taught at school.
Tlns was a great blow to Jabez at first,
for he did not know what to do with his
evenings. In the winter he could employ
them in making nets for the fishermen
at the fishing villages on the coast only
nine or ten miles away, hut there was
none of that work to he done in summer,
and it was not until Mehy suggested
that he should read, and offered to bor¬
row books from her UDcle for him, that
he saw his way out of the scrape and
gladly accepted her offer. Mehy blnshet
up a little when her uncle laughed a
the request and asked her which six
would rather have for him, “Mother
Goose" or “The Child’s Own Book,’’but
she gravely chose a History of the
United States, and when she returned it
nnsoiied for another, she knew that
Jabez had read and studied it, for she
had catechised him well on it daily.
Now came the summer when Mehy
was thirteen, and the great difference
between them forced if self so palpably
on Jabez that he could not help feeling
that the days of their nntrammeled
communion hail gone by. For the first
time in their lives they began to have
little tiffs which sometimes lasted for
days, (luring which Mehy would seclude
herself from Jabez, to his terrible, dis¬
tress. Sometimes she ‘ ;>id clothing, upbraid

grandfather might have, he would not

vice whipped bigger boys than himself
for that offense.
Somehow, though not like the past,
they got throngh that summer and
parted very quietly, for Mehy had
spoken words that had cut deep into
Jahez’s sensibilities, let them he ever so
true. She had criticised his personal
appearance and made fun of his dress—
things ho could not help, and things he
thought she never should have noticed—
and to cap it all, she hail told him only
the day before she departed, when he
had ventnred on soma words of admira¬
tion, suggested by the realization of her
growing “only bounty and stylo, that lie was

grandfather saw it and questioned him,
but Jabez had nothing to say. All that

than he hail ever earned before, hut not

on spending some of his earnings on
hooks, and becoming a subscriber to the

the spring, a few weeks before the
time for tlio Hon. Martin Drawback and
family to arrive at their summer home,
Jabez insisted upon having a new suit
of clothes and a hat. and, being pressed
for the reason of his extravagance, told
the old man what Mehy had said. At
this for a while, tho old niuu was silent,
and then said:
“You shall have ’em, Jabe. The gal
likes you, and wants you to look nice.
Who knows what'll happen ? Bile's a

EL MAHDI AND GUM ARABIC.
How the Rebellion in tlm Soudan in (’auxins
a lii«e Ju the Price ol Candy.
The toothsome gumdrop and the rub
berlike marshmallow will soon be an ex
pensive luxury, and all because the
“False Prophet,” thousands of miles
away, is stirring up a rebellion in the
Soudan. Pure gum arabic composes over
thirty per cent, of all almost the best exclusively confec
tionerv and comes
from the Soudan. Khartoum is its great
market. It is brought there by the 11 a
fives and bartered to merchants from
Cairo and Huakim for guns, cartridges,
trinkets and other articles dear to the
heart of a savage. Once a year, during
October and November, when the Nile
is at its highest, the yield is floated
down on barges to Cairo, and thence
shipped to the four principal markets of
the world—London, Paris, Marseilles and
New York. A small part is taken over
land on camels to Snakim, about a three
months’ trip. The unit of commerce is
a bale containing 500 pounds. The Eu
ropean consumption every year is 12,000
of these bales, while America consumes
half as many.
Since El Mahdi has been disaffecting
the Soudan the price of gum has stead
iiy been going up, and from the usual
i roe of eight or ten cents a pound it little has
o * risen to twenty, and there is
hay at that. Nr, crop was brought in
during the year past, and unless the in¬
surrection is quelled within the course
of three months there will he none next,
The Cairo merchants of course will not
send their money into the Soudan in its
present state, even could their agents
get there safely. Besides this, there is
very little to bring out, as none has been
gathered during the past year,
The Soudan negroes, having very
little of the Yankee thrift, will not work
unless they can see an immediate return
. for their labor. As El Obeid is already

A Lltllo Lunch.
The New York Hour tells this little
story of one of its stock brokers :—Mr.

tiumt .is ooso seil Iva spirit of lavisbs,
not o' say ri 'Sless, hospitality and a
taste tor refined gourntandUe, which,
only by habitual exercise of the most
rigid self cote' .’ and a cultivated as¬
ceticism, he i.J able io keep within
bounds. Even as it is, tho natural in¬
stinct sometimes asserts itself, and it
was iu one of these prodigal moments
that he invited a young broker, who hail
executed some commissions for him, to
lunch. The heart of the young broker
swelled with greatful emotion, and he ac¬
cepted tlie invitation with avidity: As
he took his seat at one of Delmonico’s
tables, the ploa'sing healthy appetite of youth
wavered in uncertainty between
the savory attractions of canvas-back,
washed down with Burgundy, and titil¬
lating anticipations of terrapin, flavored
with Pout me ry Sec. But like u well
bred young broker, as lie was, he cour¬
teously left it to his host to name the
menu. “What are you going to have,
Mr. S. ?” said the affable Amphitryon ;
“I am going to have some rice pud:
ding.” There was the slightest possible
emphasis on the personal pronoun, but
it wnsenongli. Those appetizing visions
melted away like “vapor wreaths that
dim the summer morn” or like a
“lamb’s” margin under the benign
influence of one of Mr. Sage’s
“points,” and the crest-fallen but crafty
young broker thought he’d like rice
pudding, too. But lie doesn’t yearn to
lunch with the great financier any more.

other garments save the shirt he slept in
—and was rushing bare-footed and bare
headed to the bumin g building. When
he got there the names had burst
through the root, and the frightened ser
vants were rUBhing hither and thither,
trying to save something, and as a nat
ural consequence he tried to do the
same. He beard the voice of the Hon.
Martin, screaming wildly, and followed
the sound, where he found its owner
screaming tugging violently for help at which an iron did box and
not come.
Jabez knew this box contained the valu
ables of the Hon. Martin, and, laying
hold of it, he had a chance of displaying
his great and youthful strength by (with
great effort) jerking it out into the open
air and doing the same afterward to its
proprietor, who seemed determined to
stay there and be smothered.
As he got them both out on the lawn
he became aware that the members of
the Drawback family, consisting of Mrs.
D, and two daughters—verging on to
thirty—were wringing running fiercely about
their hands and shouting some
thing the in which of Mehy; he could only distinguish

himself in the open air, surrounded by

It was a week before Jabez could get
about, and six weeks before he was fit to
think again of Ins project of going to
New York. In the meantime two events
had happened. Tlio Hon. Martin had
come to Jabez one day and said: “Jabe,
you know that yon have done me and
mine a service I can never repay, but I
am going to give yon a thousand dollars
to start you in the world, and I am go¬

soeonil event was with Mehy. The
family were going to Now York, but Mr.
Drawback was to stay. He had been
the heavily house, insured and and wan going to rebuild
so would stay to see it
started. The day tho family were to
tcavo—they lodge had fire—Mehy been occupying the
since the came into
Jabez’s room and said: “Jabez, I’m very
sorry I talked as rudely to you as I did.
but I didn’t mean anything bail. You’ll
forgive mo, won’t you ?”
Of course ho would forgive her, and
more lior than that, thank her. Without
rebukes, he never would havo been
aroused to wliat ho was about to do, but
now he felt that there was a future for
him, anil Mehy should hear from him.
Then, after some moro talk, she kissed
him twice and went awav.
Two months aft. r the fire Jabez went
to New York, after a most liberal dis¬
play of bis grandfather's generosity, who
gave him fifty dollars of his own earn
ings, to keep him from starvation in the
great city. Jabez got a situation in a
lawyer's office anil worked looking like a beaver
for a year, and was forward to
his two week's vacation, which lie
meant to spend at his old home, when
one day lie received a telegram which
read : “Grandfather died suddenly tliis
morning. Come immediately. Draw¬
back.” When lie got there ho found
that his gi randfather hail been found
dend old in bed, pronounoed by tbe doctor
age and general neglect of himself.
It cannot be supposed that Jabez felt
any very poignant regret at his bereave¬
ment, though he regretted the old man’s
dentil. After the funeral he and Mr.
Drawback looked over the effects, and
tlie latter whistled a long whistle as lit

St. Albans, Vt., Jan. 10, 188k
Messrs. Editors: The upper portion of Ver¬
mont Is one of the plea antost regions in
America during the summer and one of the
bleakest during the winter. It affords ample
opportunity for the tourist, providing he
chooses the proper season, but the present
time is not that season. Still there are men
and women here who not only endure the
climate, but praise it unstinting!}', and that,
too, in the face of physical hardships the
most intense. 'J he writer heard of a striking
illustration of this a few days since which is
given herewith:
Sir. Joseph Jacques is connected with the
Vermont Central railroad in the caiiac.ty of
master mason. He Is well advanced in years,
with a ruddy complexion aul hale appear¬
ance, while his general bearing is s uch as to
instantly impress one w.th his strict honor
and integrity. Severs years ago he became
afflicted with most distressing troubles,
which prevented the prosecution of his du¬
ties. He was languid, and yi 1 1 estless, while
at tin.es a dizziness would come over him
which seemed almost blinding. His will
power iva string, and he determined not to
give way to tho mysterious influence which
seemed undermining his life. But the pain
and annoying symptoms were stronger tl an
his will, and he kept growing gradually
worse. About that time be liegan to not ce a
difficulty in drawing on his boots, and it was
bv the greatest effort that he was able to
fori e his feet, into them. Jn this manner sev¬
eral weeks passed by, until finally one night,
while in great agony, he discovered that his
left had, in a short while, swollen to enor¬
mous proportions. The balance of the narra¬
tive can best be described in his own w ords.
He said:
” When my wife discovered the fact that 1
was so bloated, she scut for the doctor im¬
mediately. He made a most i areful ex¬
amination and pronounced me in a very seri
ous condition Notwithstanding his care, I
grew worse, and the swelling of my lent
gradually extended upward in my body. The
top of my head pained me terribly; indeed,so if it
badly that at times it seemed almost as
would burst. My feet were painfully cold,
and even when surrounded with hot flannels
and irons felt as if a strong wind were blowing
on them. Next my right leg became
parah z- d. This gave me no pain, hut it was
exceedingly annoying. About this time 11«

lungs were in perfect condition, and I knew
it did not come from them. My physicians
were careful and untiring in their attentions,
but unable to relieve my sufferings. My
neighbors and friends thought X was dy¬
ing and many called to see me, fully twenty
five on a single !-'uiiday that I now ret ail. At
last my agony seemed to culminate in the
most intense, sharp pains I have ever known
or heard of. If red hot knives shari eneil to
the highest degree had I Mien run thr ugh my
body constantly they could not have hurt
me worse. 1 w. u!d sj ring up in bed, some¬
times as much as three feet, cry out in my
agony and long for death. One night the
misery was so intense that I a ro e and at¬
tempted to go into the next room, but w as
unable to lift mv swollen feet above tlio little
threshold that obstructed them. I fell back
upon the bed and gas; ed in my agony, but
felt unable even to breathe. It seemed like
death.

am positive that if I had taken this
when I felt the first symptoms above de¬
scribed, I might have avoided all the agony
1 afterward endured, to say nothing of the
narrow escape I had from death.”
In order that all possible facts bearing upon
the sub e t might he known, I called on Or.
Oscar K Kassett, who was for nineteen years
United Wales examining surgeon, and who
attended Mr. Jacques during his sicknoss.
He stated that Mr. Jae |ues had a most pro¬
nounced case of Albuminuria or Bright’s
ilisea e of the kidneys. That an ana ysis
showed the nresence of albumen and easts in
great abundance and that he wins in a con

Mr. John W r . Hobart, general manager of
the Vermont Central i ail road, stated that Mr.
Jacques was one of the best and most faith¬
ful of his employes, that his sickness had ! een
an exceedingly severeone and the company
were not only glad to again have his servi os,
but grateful to the X'enndy that hail cured so
valuable a man. superinten
Mr. Janies M. Foss, assistant Vermont
dentand master mechanic of the
Central railroad, is also able to co firm this.
I do not claim to be a great discoverer, but
I ilo think 1 have found in the above a most
remarkable case, and knowing the unusual
increa eof Bright's disease feel that the pub¬
lic should have the benefit of it. It seems to
me a remedy that i au accomplish so much in
the last, stages ought to do even more for the
first appri a ll of this deceptive yet terr.ble
trouble. F. B.
A Reminiscence of Bov. Morgan.
A neighboring merchant made the re¬
mark in my hearing, “We buy goods
and lose money. Morgan buys goods
and makes money.” The meaning was
that Morgan generally struck the
market in the right way and at the right
time, while others so often made
blunders. Another old merchant ex¬
claimed, “Look at that Morgan that is
buying up everything. hero A little while he
ago lie came green, and now
can give his note for $50,000.” The
only mistake in tho remark was that
Morgan never was green. Politicians
made the same mistake. They sup¬
posed that a man just inducted into
office would, for a While at least, need
leading strings. Morgan, however,
showed himself immediately the master
of the situation either in business or in
public life. He met every exigency
with surprising readiness. At one time,
for instance, lie purchased au immense
quantity of tea at a public auction sale,
and the auctioneers told him that the
amount was rather large for one man’s
note. Morgan’s reply was: “I will
give you your ( own paper instead of
mine.” He went- in Wall street and

bill, and

Ready.
The late Bishop Wilberforce, of En¬
gland, was the most eloquent preacher
on the bench of bishops, the most ener¬
getic worker in liis diocese, and the
most accomplished and witty leader in
society. Many who w ere jealous of his
great gifts and influence, and others
who disliked his High Church princi¬
ples, used to accuse him of insincerity
and a readiness to sacrifice convictions
for social success. He acquired the un¬
dignified and suggestive nickname of
“Soapy Sam.” But he never showed
greater presence of mind, or more ready
wit, than in interpreting this nickname
under trying circumstances. He was in
a large and fashionable company, where
a bright girl attracted his attention, and
excited his rare power for fascinating
children. Her confidence was com¬
pletely won, and she ventured to ask,—
“Willyou answer me a question?”
“Certainly,” he answered.
“Will you, truly?” she repeated.
“Truly!”
By this time the attention of the
whole company was arrested, and they
listened, half in amusement and half in
consternation, to the question,—
“Why do people call you ‘Soapy
Sam?’ ”
Blit the bishop’s face did not color,
nor his voice falter. The auswer came
prompt and gentle, “I suppose it must
lie because when I happen to get into
dirty water I always come out clean.”
The company could not refrain from a
general laugh, in which the' bishop
heartily joined.— Youth's Companion.
