A SONG.
** Was tke time when heaven comes down,
And paves the wood with blue i
A. firmament of hyacinths!
Drank deep of forest dew.
The cooing of a lonely dove
Went mourning on the breesa,
And over all there swayed the soag 3
And siblings of the tree?.
The velvet palms of moss caressed
And comforted my face ;
An angel joy from Paradise
Beeraod truant In the place ;
The forest was a voice, and sang.
Of Love, long dead, of you.
What time the gracious heaven came down
And paved the wood with blue.
—From Norman Gale’s “Orchard Songs. ,,
“ONLY MAGGIE.”
? UST the two words,
• “only Maggie,”
were a sort of by
^ word in the Clem
m I & cuts the family, where
I young ladv
p rejoicing in the
J baptismal appel
Iation of Margaret
was considered
somewhat inferior
m in all respects to
the three elder
b ‘ sisters.
SLI Clements artistic, Miss Nora w a s
Georgina Clements was musical, and
her hours were spent executing in
tricacies upon the piano; Miss Cor
delia Clements was a beauty.
j Maggie, the youngest, was simply a
cheerful, good-tempered, industrious
gif'., who aimed at no special display
. of either beauty or talent, but was
! quite content to be handmaiden for
1 the others.
j Howard, the oldest brother and tho
eldest of the family, was a physician,
, and the head of tlie household, the
j father and mother being dead. There
was wealth enough to make a pleasant
home when the separate incomes were
■ combined, and Howard would have
been unwilling to see his sisters leave
him for any but a home and husband
of their own.
“We can all live comfortably to¬
gether,” ho would say, “but you have
not enough to live upon without work,
if you leave the house we own among
___>i us.
At first tho two older girls were
quite anxious to figure, one as a great
artist, the other as a great musician,
but finally they allowed their brother
to havo his own way.
The young doctor was very proud
of his sisters and their various attrac¬
tions, and when his warm friend and
fellow-student, Paul Goddard, ap¬
peared to rnako liim a short visit, he
led him from the office into tho house
adjoining it, delighted at the prospect
of showing off the girls to a city
gentleman.
A tour of inspection in the drawing¬
room preceded the actual introduction.
Thus:
j “This scene upon the .CfttakiU Moun
• ..
tains painted . . . by eldest . , . .
t was my sister, ,
f™ tbe 1 express ’ We 8 purposes P ent tb ° ™ of m allowing “ Cr ther Nora « for
to make sketches.”
j <lTT “Very x? tine! ,,, murmured . Paul, , try¬ ,
ing his best to admire tho mountains.
“And the music is Georgina’s.
Georgina is Signor Skwaliinni’s best
pupil.”
“A great talent?” Paul murmured
again.
“And this,” continued Howard,
opening tho photograph album, “is
Cordelia.”
He added no more—and, truly, the
face was sufficiently beautifully to
need no comment.
Paul spoke cordially:
“What a beautiful face! Who is
this opposite your sister, Howard?”
“That is Maggie. She is my young¬
est sister. ”
“And does she paint or sing?”
“No, no ! Maggie has no talent and
no beauty. She is a good little thing!
But come to your room, Paul! Dinner
will be ready at six. ”
‘ ‘So Maggie is housekeeper, ” thought
Paul, as he looked around the tasteful
apartment assigned to him. “I think
Maggie certainly has something of her
sister’s artistic eye. How exquisitely
these flowers are arranged—and how
cool and fresh it is here after my hot,
dusty ride!”
Seeking the drawing-room again,
Paul found the artistic sister coutem- I
plating the scene from the back win
dows with rapt enthusiasm.
“Dr. Goddard,” she said, advancing !
to meet him.
Paul made the necessary speech of i
gratification, wondering if it was the j
brown of the Catskill Mountains that
was daubed so extensively upon the
skirt of Miss Nora’s blue dress, aud if
it was artistic meditations that had
made her pin her collar crooked and
forget her cuffs altogether. She
launched at once into a bewildering
sea of technicalities, and called upon j
Paul shadow, to admire light and effects foliage, of cloud and {
from the
back window, until he felt like a re
I prieved prisioner upon the entrance
of another sister, who was introduced
: as “my sister, Cordelia.”
I The beauty was superb. Every curl
of her glossy brown hair was ar-,
ranged for effect. Her creamy com
pjexion was heightened by a dress of
white muslin, with tiny green
, leaves scattered over it. She bowed
'< ! actually bmgnid afraid to grace, but for fear sat as dis- if
move of
arranging any fold of her faultless
j costume. Georgiana appeared as the
^ e j} rang, and Georgiana spoke but
little. It made her hoarse to be always
j talking. Paul inwardly resolving to
was cut
his visit very short when Howard
opened the door of the dining-room
and introduced : * !
, “My sister. Maggie.”
She was not pretty ; she was not ar
tistie nor musical; but she was charm
ing to Paul’s eyes in five minutes. Her
dress fitted her graceful little figure
perfectly; her collars and cuffs were
white and smooth; her hair was
dressed carefully and becomingly ; she
was exquisitely neat.
Not fearing for her voice, she
chatted gayly and pleasantly ; not be
iug nnxious about her dress, she
moved gracefully and freely, and hav
ing no specialty of talent, she could
talk sensibly about ihe various topics
j her brother and his friend started.
Dinner passed off pleasantly,
Chficlmled that if Maggie way house
keeper h?r dinner certainly did her
credit.
A week passed away, and Paul
found himself groaning in spirit ove*
the Misses Clements. He had wan
dered in search of the picturesque
with Nora, had sacrificed gloves and
boots in the pursuit of wonderful
boughs and inaccessible flowers. He
had listened to Georgians till his ears
fairly ached, and he was divided in his
own mind as to whether the performer
or the listener deserved the more pity.
He had admired Cordelia in every va
riety of costume, in every effective at
titude; had seen her eyes raised and
the long lashes of the drooping lids;
and marveled at the whiteness of her
hands, at the profusion of her curling
hair; had cohsidered her a beauty, a
weariness and a burden of spirits.
The three eldest girls were a good
deal puzzled about Dr. Goddard, and
not a little humiliated by his apparent
indifference.
i “Fie doesn’t seem to possess the
l° ve for art,” said Nora, disdain
fn Tr. “I have shown him my very
hnest pieces of work, and when I at
tem P* t-o discuss them he looks bored.
He is our guest, I know, but really I
must say he is rather rude. ”
“As for music,” chimed in Georgi
“I don’t believe he has any ear
f° r H. The other day I went into the
drawing-room with my latest piece of
music. I thought he might like to
^ ear H, but would you believe it,
8 irls > he listened to my singing,
thanked me absent-mindedly, and then
excused himself?’
“He isn’t a bit clever at turning
compliments, ’ sighed Cordelia, rising
ttn d examining litrself critically in a
mirror. “I've changed my costume
at least three times everyday, and he
^ ias Ile vcr once told me that such and
such a dress became me wonderfully. ”
“He’s a bear,” cried Nora, resent
Hilly. “I really think, girls, that
we’d better stop trying to please him
HI1(l devote ourselves to our own
bents. ”
For some moments the girls were
silent. It was a tempting retaliatory
proposition, but would Dr. Goddard
care? He certainly seemed a most
unappreciative young man.
No; they could not afford to let him
severely alone. Young men were too
scarce, and each of these three girls
had a secret but positive desiro to
marry and have homes of their own.
It was only Maggie who found no
fault with Paul. She devoted herself
to making her brother’s charming
friend comfortable, and permitted
herself to have no other thought.
And she knew that Paul was enjoy¬
ing himself. She ren/d it in his eyes,
which glistened at every fresh sign of
her thoughtfulness. Which one of her
sisters did he prefer? she wondered.
But he could find but little time to
speak to Maggie. He saw the evi¬
dences of her industry’ and taste in
every detail of housekeeping; knew
whose sldll directed the servants;
whose fingers filled the flowser vases ;
whose eyes were everywhere. But the
very perfection of all these arr?^g£
mnets kept tho little .’soman too busy
for many l&kj -ffitunents, and in tho
evening the older sisters were all-en¬
grossing.
Two months had passed, and in¬
stead of June roses, early fall fruits
and flowers were abundant at Moss
vale, when Paul Goddard passed again
through the village, and called at Dr.
Clements’s office.
“lam sorry,” said Howard, as he
cordially shook his friend by hhe hand.
“All the girls are away. Uncle James
invited them to pass a month at the
White Mountains, and they deserted
me.”
i l Then you are alone. ”
“Oh, not entirely. Maggiet stays to
keep house for me.”
“Oh, Miss Maggie is here? Shall I
intrude if I stay a day or two, How¬
ard?”
“Intrude, Paul? Par from it. I am
not very busy, and Maggie was telling
me to-day that time actually hangs
heavy on her hands. You know she
was always running for the others. So
now the little damsel lias time to en
joy herself, and we have had some
lovely rides aud drives. Maggie -does
ride beautifully, and her horse .is very
fond of her.”
It was true that Maggie was finding
many leisure hours while her sisters
were away, and Paul found that the
modest girl was one of the
pleasantest companions it had ever
been his good fortune to meet,
‘ It was an amusement the young phy
sician enjoyed, to draw out the^ ac
complishments that had been over
shadowed by her sisters’ loudly-pro
claimed talents and attractions. He
found that Maggie could sing with a
sweet, bird-like voice, though she
never attempted the difficult songs in
which Georgiana was supposed to ex¬
cel. She could play simple pieces
with feeling and expression, and her
fingers would fairly dance over the
keys in livelier music that required no
wonderful talent or elaborate execu
tion.
And it was wonderful how pretty
the child-like face became in Paul
Goddard’s eyes. There was a charm
in the constant cheerfulness that kept
the rosy mouth ever smiling and
sweet; there was a beauty of expres
sion in the brown eyes that mere form
and color can never give; there was
an attraction always in the exquisite
neatness of dress that was never stiff
and prim, though so carefully ar
ranged.
Howard Clements, who loved his
friend, and had hoped to secure him
as a brother during his former visit,
opened his eyes wide in amazement,
as the days wore away and Paul lin
gered in Mossvale. During his first
visit, Howard had hoped to see him
yield to the fascinations of the elder
Misses Clements, and no manoeuver
iug mother ever took more pains than
this brother to display the talents and
beauties of his sisters. That any one
would look twice at Maggie, when in
the company of the others, had never
occurred to Howard.
But in the light of Paul’s evident
admiration, the brother began to con
template with different emotions the
possibility of losing his little sister,
He had borne with perfect composure
the prospect of jiarting with the oth
ers. It seemed* no great hardship,
even when the separation involved the
disappearance of Nora’s masterpieces
aud Georgiana’s music rack. But to
io>e Maggie was quite another matter,
“Who,” Upward »»*ed hiumelf in
! dismay—“who would superintend the
; servants and keep the house in ordrr?
, Who would wait with cheerful s*n;iles
upon him, when the duties of his pro¬
j fession obliged him to ask for meals
at all sorts of irregular hours?’’
Visions of Nora in paint-bedaubed
dresses, Georgians with frowsy hair,
and Cordelia in inert beauty, presid
ing over the household, filled How
j ard’s brains; and while he lamented,
he admitted that “Paul’s head was
; level,” in his apparent choice,
| Maggie could scarcely believe she
heard aright when Paul Goddard
j pleaded for the gift of her love, and
j promised all loyalty and devotion if
j she home. would come and preside over his
j “But.” she said, “you cannot really
love me.”
“I really can and do,” was the reply.
“But I’m so plain, and so stupid,
Howard said” - She paused and
blushed.
“Well, what did Howard say? Tell
me. That’s a darling.”
“He stud, then, that I was sure to
be an old maid, and after others were
all married, I was to stay here and
help him keep up a bachelor’s hall. I
really don’t see,” she added earnestly,
“how Howard will get along.”
“He must do as I do.”
“How?”
“Seek a darling little housekeeper
for a wife.”
So, to the amazement of all con¬
cerned, the first Miss Clements who
was married was not the artist, not
the musician, not the beauty, but only
Maggie.—New York Journal.
A Remarkable Case of Petrification.
More than forty years ago a boy
twelve or fifteen years of age died in
AValdo County, and his body was laid
at rest in the family vault in the local
cemetery. Four years ago, or over
thirty-six years after the body was
placed in the vault, a sexton, noticing
the wonderful preservation of the cof¬
fin, opened it. Imagine his surprise
to find therein what ho thought was a
new corpse. It was perfectly pre¬
served, so perfectly that the sexton
doubted his wits and wondered if it
were not a body that had been placed
in the vault unbeknown to him.
Knowing that the family that owned
the vault were all long since dead, tho
sexton went to the executor of the
estate and told him of his discovery.
Together they visited the vault, and
at the first look the executor exclaimed^
“Good gracious, that’s the body of a
young son of the family who died
more than thirty-five years ago!”
Greatly astonished, they carefully ex¬
amined the remains and found them
thoroughly petrified. The boy had
scarcely changed from the hour of his
death. The only alteration was that
the eyes were sunken. The clothing
was perfect. The little blue tie and
collar were as if but just arranged and
the hair looked as if recently combed.
The face bore the look of sleep. For
forty years has the body lain there in
this state, and is there still. It was
agreed between the sexton and the
tithe* gentl&caan that the fact be kept
a secret. They fealfcu th&V'Yi it be¬
came known some one would steal VuA
body and exhibit it. The parties kept
their secret well, but, as many things
do, it leaked out. Four years ago a
sexton from a largo city in Massachu¬
setts visited the town. Wondering if,
in his large experience, he had ever
seen a similar case, the two individu¬
als described it to the Massachusetts
sexton. He went to see the body and
declared he had never beheld such a
petrification before.—Lewistoivn (Me.)
Journal.
A Majestic Ruin.
In his new book upon the “Dawn
of Astronomy,” a study of temple
worship and mythology of the ancient
Egyptians, Professor Lockyer says
that the temple of Amen-Ra is beyond
all question the most majestic ruin in
the world. There is a sort of stone
avenue in the centre, giving a view to¬
ward the northwest, and this axis is
something like 500 yards in length.
The whole object of the builder of the
great temple at Karnak—one of the
most soul stirring temples which have
ever been conceived or built by man
—was to preserve that axis absolutely
open ; and all the wonderful halls of
columns and the like, as r-een on one
side or other of the axis, are merely
details, the point being that the axis
should be absolutely open, straight
and true.
The axis was directed toward the
hills on the wef.t side of the Nile in
which are the tombs of the kings.
From the external pylon the south¬
eastern outlook through the ruins
shows the whole length of tlie temple,

Alaska Salmon.
The great industry of Alaska is the
catching and canning of salmon.
; Established only about twelve years
ago on a large scale, it has grown to
vast proportions. The record of 20,
00^ cases canned in 1882 had be
J come 54,000 in 1884, and 120,700 in
1886. Two years later it had reached
427,372 cases, while in 1889 it rose to
i 709,347, and in 1891 to 789,000. A
cas e contains forty-eight pounds, so

37,872,000 pounds of canned salmon,

now thirty-four great canneries estab

Lime AVater and Old Ago.
It is thought by many modern phy¬
sicians that the ossification of the sys¬
tem, or tho eon verson of many tissues
into lione or gristle, is one of tlie
greatest enemies of longevity.
Editor Joseph Midill of tiio Chicago
Tribune has taken a new lease of life
since he became 71, by drinking water
only after it has been distilled. In
this way he gets rid of the lime which
he claims is the groat cause of physical
ills as men grow old. Since he has
begun tho use of distilled water
his rheumatism and indigestion
havo disappeared, his heart
works normally and his spirits are as
cheerful as a schoolboy’s. Getting rid
of tho lime is not the onl y, and per¬
haps not the most important, result of
using distilled water. It is worthy of
note that the larger part of mankind
iti China and India have for ages used
water boiled in making tea. They
consider it more healthful, but it is
1 probably tlie boiling, rather than tho
nicotin in tho tea, which makes the hot
drink more conducive to health. Tho
fact that tea-drinking nations are tho
most populous is evidence of tho
healthfullness of this beverage as a
drink.
