UNFINISHED STILL.
A babv's boot and a skeii. of wool,
F id id, and soiled, and soft:
1 bid tilings, miu say, an 1 no ibatbt you’re right,
Runud a seaman's neck this stormy night,
Up in Hie yarns aloft.
Most.like ii's folly; hut mate look here:—
When first ’[ went to sea.
A woman stood on the far-off strand,
With a wedding ri> gon the small soft hand
Which clung so close to me.
My wife—God hies* her ! The clay before,
She sat beside my foot;
And Hie sun oglu kissed her yellow hair,
And the dainty tin. ora. deft and fair.
Kni'ted a baoy’s boot.
The voyage was over; I came ashore;
What, think you found l there?
A grave the daisies hud sprinkled white,
A cottage empty and dark as 1 ight.
And this beside the chair.
The iittle boot, ’twa* unfinished still;
The tangled skein lay near;
But the knitter had gone away to rest.
With the Ivihe asleep on her quiet breast,
Down in the churchyard drear.
What Seven W omen Have Done.
A recent Kholihli Book, “Facto, non
Verba,” contains 1 1 1 history, of the
philanthropic labors of sevi n English
women. It is full of interest not only
for its facts,' but for its nTerences.
The Athetuvmn says; “If the volume
floes nothing else, it at any rate gives
ns anew notion of how much there is
for women to do, stud how much a wo
man can an if site is in earnest about
her work.”
Miss Rye began her efforts a few
years ago. She bad a capital ot
•£750. Its lasting capacity inis been
is miraculous as that of the “Wi
dow’s erase of oil.” She had helped
•me hundred and seventy-eight gov
ernesses to emigrate to the liritis 1,
coh mies, where they have all, mainly
torongh her efforts, found employ
ee et. She has put fifteen hundred
English women into good places as

Fat Folks.
I like fat folks. There’s something
jolly right in the fact of one’s being a
great big porpoise, and you never saw
a fat man or woman but y\ t 1j a t was
good natured, nnl.-ss disappointed in
love. I often wish I stood in Baker’s
shoes. He weighs 280, and when seen
coming down the street lie resembles
a sloop under full sail. When he en
ters a street car everybody shoves
along at once, and if it’s crowded,
two or three men will get up at once
to offer him a seat. He is of impor
tance wherever he goes. If he sits
on an inquest he influences the jury
and if he predicts the weather people
put faith m him. If there’s a crowd
ar >und a sick horse Baker elbows bis
way rightin where I couldn’t, get, and
they are always sure to make him
treasure*-' at Sunday School excur
sions, send him invitations to deliver
Fourth of July orations, and he is al
ways selected to present the fird com
pany with new hats and a speech.
And there’s Mrs. Scott, who weighs
neariy as much us B iker. ’When it’s a
hot day everybody asks after her com
fort, and when it’s a cold day every
body congratulates her on being fat.
She was made the president ,of a be
nevolent society, the treasurer of an
art association, and the “head man”
in a monument enterprise, just be
cause she wus fat and “could fill the
chair” better than any lean woman.
If she went aboard the ferryboat they
always placed her carefully iu the
very center of the cabin in the best
arm-chair aboard, so that she could
not careen the craft over, and if forty
lean women hung over the railing to
starboard or port nothing was ever
said or cared about it. She had the
biggest tent at camp meeting, the best
place to see tlu Fourth of July tire
works, aud grocers were always send
ing her early strawberries and first
vegetables.
I fell in love with a f it. girl once. I
loved madly, because 1 was loving
207 pounds of girl. She was ; uiable,
tender-hearted, good-natured and true
and I think she loved me. AV . were
to bo married in the fall, and I should
probably have been one of the hap
piest of husbands, when an accident
dashed my prospects. She fell over
board just its we wefc about to leave
ihe ivliari uu a steamboat excursion.
Three or four sailors plunged after,
and got a gang plank under her, a
cable around her waist, and towel
her to the wharf. Then they rigged
a derrick and lifted her out by sec
tions, but they were so long about it
that site took a severe cohl, and the
result was death. There were months
and monttjs after that I could never
pass a Ida 1 of hay without thinking
of my lost Amanda and shedding
tears, and even to this day I never
see an,elephant, or rhinoceros without
her dear visage rising up before me. —

A Heavy “Sell “I know'd Gas
well. We’d been partners m Calitor
ny. He was one of tbe best fellers I
ever kuowued, and we was always
gettin’ sells on one another. But
Gas got the lnaviest thing on
me when he died! As soon as he
was shot, I see he was a goner. I
helped him up on the bank, and eased
lum off all I could, savin’ over all the
Bible I knowed, and promisin’ to give
his watch and gun to his folks. But
Gus wanted me to agree to send him
to Frisco, where his folks lived. Sol
I promised, and he died happy. Well,
I buried him on the spot temporary.
Three years ader, when I cal’uted lie
was about eit up, I went for bis
bones. Now what do you think Gus
had been and gone and done? Why,
as he was buried in alkali, he’d gone
and turned himself into solid stone,"
and then he expected me to pay
freight on him all the way to Frisco J
I did it, though, but that was the
last load Gus ever got on me!” When
Jeff had concluded this touching
reminiscence to his departed friend,
he stopped bis horse aud took a drink
to his memory.— Travel* in Utah by

Seasonable Suggestions.— Never go
in the sun; it heats the blood. Food
is fuel, and furnishes heat; eat no
food. Cloihes prevent the escape of
heat from the body; wear none, or
only a loose shirt and drawers. Work
bents the system; do nothing. Sit in
a craft Reading, talking and think
ing generate heat; do neither. Bathe
every hour of the day, and take a
shower bath between. Wear a cap
with ice in it. Sit with your feet in a
tub of ice water. Call your wife and
/daughters when you want anything;
it is a cool operation. Dnnk iced-tea,
lemonade, plain soda and such; have
a cool stream running in all the while.
By observing these simple directions
one can get along without going
away, unless the effect sends him off'..

Swearing. —Cowper writes some
lines which it would be worth while
for every one to learu :
“It chills ray blood to hear the blest
Supreme
Rudely appealed to on each trifling theme;
Mantain your rank, vulgarity despise—
To swear is neither, polite nor wise ;
You would not swear upon a bed of death;
Reflect ! Your Maker may now stop your
breath.”
Some who would not swear by the
name of God, tbfhk nothing of swear
ing “By George,” or “By Jingo,” or
by something tl e; others often cry
out “Good gracious!” or “Mercy on
me 1” and the like. These are the
beginnings of swearing. They are
to profane swearing, what acorns are
to the oak.
Coolness. —A young man was carv
ing a at a dinner table one day,
when by an awkward move he kocked
it into the lap of a lady who was sit
ting opposite in all the glggy of a
green satin dress. Instead of show
ing h's verdancy, by profuse apologies
and confused manner, be simply said:
“I’ll trouble you for that goose, Miss!”
Can the annals of society furnish an
example of self-posession more sub
lime ?
- ♦ . . -
What is a Darling? —An exchange
answers this question in the following
delicious style;
It is the dear little beaming girl who
meets one on the door step; who flings
her fair arms around one’s neck, and
kisses one with her whole soul of love;
who seizes one’s hat; who relives one
of one’s coal, and arranges t he tea and
toast so prettily; who places her elfish
