New rain falls hard nnd the hearth Is cojd,
And gods and men ignore you,
An t jronc are the hopeful days of old,
And black nro the days before you ,
And soul and body crav ia vain.
And the world is a place of weeping,
And death is the only end of pain,
\nd life Is not worth keeping.
Now the sun shines clear or the moon Is fair

And gladder than wine is the sweet, rich air,
And uay are the wcil-frod highways.

“You doubtless remember that
your Uncle Denning was a strong ad¬
mirer of art in all its branches, and
when Crittenden, with an unmistaka¬
ble talent for painting, drifted into
the profession it pleased him very
much. It was then that tho first will
was made, knowing—as he did—what
an uphill road the life of an artist
generally is, and how long it
takes before financial returns
begin to come in. You also were de
veloping a great deal of ability in the
same line ; and as you and Crittenden
were a good deal with each other—1
may ns well be frank with you—he had
an idea that in course of time vou
would naturally drift together; that
is probably vhy your name was not
mentioned in the first will, because, to
my personal knowledge, ho thought a
great deal of you. Then came re¬
ports from two or three reliable sources
that Crittenden ha 1 somehow boen
taken up by a fashionable sot and was
decidedly neglecting his profession,
while he lived for little or nothing at
the expense of his new-found friends.
Finally, when Mr. Denning felt sure
the young man was losing his ambi¬
tion and settling down into that, kind
of a shiftless life, he sent for me and
made this new will in your favor. I

During her few moments’ thought,

“Well,” I must say, Crittenden,
this doesn’t look much like the old
studio in Thirteenth street, More
i | luxury and considerably less Bo’ne
miauisra. How loug have you been
here?”
“About a month; haven’t all my
bric-a-brac in yet. Bat look about
the place and tell me what you think
of it.”
“Well, I don’t see anything the
matter with it. With your artistic
taste, the rooms were sure to be pretty
near the correct thing. I see you’re
still faithful to Barye; that “Ele¬
phant and Tiger” is one of his best
bits. You always was an admirer of
the Louis Heize, though for beauty
and harmony I must say I prefer the
magnificent Orientalism of the Hindu.
Ye Gods ! what an earthly paradise of
beafltiful things a man can surround
himself with if he has but the money.
Where do you work?”
“Oh, there’s a good north window
in the spare bed-room, and I’ve set up
an easel there; but I’m not killing
myself with work just at present.”
“Look here, old chap, you’rj not
going to give up the profession en¬
tirely, are you? How will you put in
tho time?”
“ lime! GreatScott! I’m so busy now,
with coaching parties, country break¬

“That’s right enough. I suppose

“Oh, I daresay” (yawning); “biff

Winter was keeping me at his cottage.
Didn't have any cash then, so
thought I was out of the running.
Shortly after old Gray put the
property in my possession I ran over
to Boston, called, and incidentally
mentioned my good luck, and—to put
it mildly—Harry, I am solid with the
whole family uow. They’re great on
art as au amateur professor over

so set up a studio on Commonwealth
avenue; said she’d come and paint
with me every day. I came very near
doing it; but told her I thought of
doing one really good thing every
venr—working only when the spirit
moved. When she found that work
iug every day meant giving up all her
fuu she said my idea was sensible,
Deuced clever girl, Kitty.”
“Who’s this other one in the tailor
gown? It’s a sweet face ; not so striking
as your Bostonian, but, to my
iu taste, the more beautiful of the two',

“That! Oh, that’s my little Wash

keeps a sweet boarding-house down
there. By Jove! what a God-send it
would be to them if anything should
happen to me; they’d come in for the
property.”
Brand took the picture over to the
window for a better light. It seemed
to him there was a tender, womanly
look in the great brown eyes; some
thing different from anvthing he had
seen.
“Crittenden,” he said, “if I were
picking out a wife I’d choose this girl
of the two.”
‘ You may have her, old man , and
my blessing in the bargain.”
“Humph! I fanev the iadv would

“Oh, I say, Crittenden, cut it!
You're not auctioning off a Circassian,
you know. I was only taking a rise
out of you about the introduction,
Getting late, isn’t it? I may drop in
at the club to-night: so long.”
As Crittenden's valet bowed him out,
neither he nor his master noticed that
Brand had coolly pocketed the photo
graph before *
he left.
The conversation, however, had
roused many a slumbering memory
with Crittenden, aud he sat watching
a last touch of the sunlight as it warmed
the rich colors of the Smyrna carpet;
thinking of tin old Norfolk days when
he and Madge scarcely counted the
passing of one soft summer morn
mg after the other, and—contented
with themselves and their work—
wished for no greater happiness than
daily existence together.
Whether his inner consciousness

I caught it do you think?”
“You certainly have, Madge ; better
than Harry's too. Don’t you think so,
Harry? Slake him look, Madge. ’
“Here! Mr. Brand! don’t von know
it isn’t fair to keep on wor a -"f. r
I have stopped? Besides, you will
rain your eyes.”
“Just a moment more, please, Miss
Madge : I want to get the depth and
tone in that black cloud ; it’s one of
the grandest sights I ever saw on the
Pacific Coast. We’ll have a storm to
night worth coming across the con
tinent to see.”
“Not another second ; it isn’t fair.
It’s your turn to clean brashes, to¬
night, and we’ve scarcely time to get
washed up before dinner.”
“Allright, youhavecertainly beaten
me; but I was handicapped at the
start by your ability to catch outline.”
*So, picking up the stools au l canvases,
they move toward the house, stop¬
ping, now and then, to look at the
grand picture at sea.
As they go in, the moonlight begins
to strengthen, and they settle down
on the cushions in the bay-window
looking out over the water. Brand
leaves them for a moment, and Mrs.
Hallett asks: “Madge, do you never
think of marrying some day?”
“Yes,” musingly; “every woman
does at times. Your own happy mar¬
ried life is a constant suggestion when
I am with you ; but there is an absorp
tion about an artist’s life which makes
one independent of even human love,
I sometimes think. I could sit
here watching the moonlight on that
rippling ocean, the black shadows of
the rocks, the silver edging to those
massive clouds, and forget even niv
own existence. My every-day work
brings mo in contact—moment by
moment—with the most beautiful
things of life; and ray idea of death is
simply a gradual drifting out to sea,
to a somewhere beyond the horizon
line, with the afterglow for a Pacific
sunset around me. A woman leading
such a life forms certain ideals of men
which are seldom realized ; still a man
who could appreciate all this with me
—one who loved art for art’s sake,
and for the fascination of the work,
might— Goodness!— Mr. Brand
how you startled me. We were speak¬
ing of the compensations of the artis¬
tic temperament. Do you not find
them sufficient to take the place of toe
other interests which seem so -aoe&S

household duty, leaves them for a little

A Yew Industry.
A large trade is carried on in France
by the sale of live chickens three day's
old. The boxes to carry them are so
constructed that ventilation is amply
supplied without chilling the birds;
they are as comfortable as if they were
under their mother’s wing. A flannel
covers their backs, on which is placed
a small quantity of feathers, The
bottom of the box is covered to the
depth of two inches with chaff or
straw, in which plenty of millet or
any kind of bird seed is scattered, and
the irough under the wire netting is
filled with stale bread crumbs steeped
in milk whey, dried up with barley,
Indian or oat meal, and with plenty
of the bird seed mixed up in it. The
chickens are then j>ut in, the feathers
placed on their backs, the lid laid OD,
corded down and directed to their
destination. They travel safely for
three or four days. In France* they
sell from twelve to twenty-five cenfs
e-aeb, according to breed. Those who
keep incubators make good profits.

though he had several incubators. He
has sent chickens to England and Ire¬
land. They arrive quite safely at
their destination.—New York World,
A Yew Care lor Snake Bite.
A report from Tennessee tells about
a new and efficient cure for the bite of
poisonous snakes in the juice of the
“red popcorn root.” A Mr. Trout, of
Trimble, Tenc., was hunting a couple
of miles from home, when he was
bitten by a copperhead, an* which is well
known *as extremely poisonous
snake. He at once started for home
chewing and swallowing on the wav
what tobacco he had about him.
When he got home he immediately
procured some fresh “poneorn” root
and with the milky juice which exudes
from it he painted a stripe around his
leg, jusi below the knee. The le <i

A card has been placed in the window
i u self-defence, which reads “FJy
Trap, Not For Sale.” This was done
after the doorstep had been worn half
way through by a liue of people com¬
ing in to inform the clerks that the
window was full of mice. The mice
have been in the window for three
years, says one of the clerks who has
seen that length of service for the
druggist, and he doesn’t know how
much longer. In the winter they live
by gnawing off the labels in the store
that are glued on with starchy paste.
The mice by this time have become

clerks drive them into the window,

After the approval of the journal,
in the senate, Tuesday, the tafttf. president
pro tern, Mr ■ BmtA, of
xennessee,laid before the body a com
munication from the acting secretary
of the treasury, transmitting the re
port of the superintendent of the coast
and geodetic survey; also one from
the secretary of war, transmitting a
report showing the number of aliens
and naturalized citizens in the army.
Air. Dolph, republican, of Oregon,
presented a memorial from the citizens
of Phoenix, Ariz., asking for relief in
the matter of Indian depredation
claims. Mr. Berry, democrat, of Ar¬
kansas, presented a few remarks re¬
garding the passage of the bill intro¬
duced by him last week, to establish
the territory of Indianola out of the
Indian Territory. Mr. Morrill, re¬
publican, of Vermont, in accordance
with the notice he had given, then ad¬
dressed the senate.
The senate Wednesday signified an
mistakably its intention not to be led
into any tariff legislation at this ses¬
sion. A motion to take up the house
bill of last session making sugar free
of duty, with the finance committee
amendment to it imposing a flat duty
of 40 per cent, on sugar and abolish¬
ing the differentials, was defeated, the
vote being—yeas, 23 ; nays, 27. The
attempt to get up Mr. Vest's cloture
’’osolution was also defeated—yeas, 24;
nays, 24. The Nicaragua car al bill
was taken up and discussed
for a couplo of hours, and Mr.
Morgan, who is in charge of it, signi¬
fied his purpose to ask the senate to
fix another time for voting upon it.
Bills were passed giving pensions of
$100 a month to the widows of Gen¬
eral Banks, Crittenden and McClel¬
land. Mr. Pugh jrresented the cre¬
dentials of Mr. Morgan as senator
elect from Alabama for the term be¬
ginning March 4th, next, which were
read. The resolution offered recently
by Mr. Higgins calling on tho presi¬
dent for copies of the correspondence
relative to peace negotiations between
China and Japan was passed. After
a short executive session the senate, at
5:10 o’clock p. m., adjourned until
Thursday.
Senator Bate, chairman of the board

THE HOUSE.
At the opening of the session of the
house Tuesday Mr. Breckinridge,
democrat, of Kentucky, from the com¬
mittee on appropriations, reported
the urgent deficiency bill. Mr. Ding
ley, republican, of Maine, asked unan¬
imous consent for the consideration
of a resolution calling upon the secre¬
tary' of the treasury for information,
first, as to whether the articles of the
Behring sea tribunal had resulted last
season in saving the fur seal herds
from that destruction they were in¬
tended to prevent; second, informa¬
tion as to the number and sex
of seals killed by pelagic sealers;
third, the protection of fur seal
herds on the Pribyiioff Islands, and,
fourth, the revenue derived by the
government from tne seals during the
past year and the expenditure of the
government for their protection dur¬
ing the same period. In the morning
hour Mr. Mallory again called up the
bill to promote the efficiency of the
revenue cutter service which provoked
Mr. Champ Ciark’s remarks on Satur¬
day. The Missourian again took the
floor in pursuance of bis avowed in¬
tention of talking the bill to death.
Mr. Clark then took off bis cuffs and
for forty-five minutes kept the house in
a roar.
As soon as the routine business of
the house Wednesday was disposed of
the urgent deficiency bill was taken
up in committee of “the whole. Mr.
Bartlett, democrat, of New York, ad
dressed himself to the item appropri
ating $245,095 to execute the law for
the collection of the income tax. Hi
discussed at some leDgtk the legal
features of the question, with a view
to demonstrating the unconstitution
ality and invalidity of the income tax.
Mr. McMillan, the author of the in
come tax feature of the tariff bill, i
plied to Mr. Duruetr, tin cnoting the
latter s assertion that the income tax
was unjust. In the course of bis speech
Mr. McMillan became engaged in a
colloquy with Mr. Gockran, democrat,
of New York, regarding the effect up
on the government revenues of a re¬
duction of tariff rates, which conclu¬
ded with the admission by Mr. Mc¬
Millan that he did not believe that the
Wilson bill, as framed, would have the
effect to raise the revenues necessary
to carry on tlie government without
the income tax measure. The debate
was closed by Mr. Breckinridge, who
phesied the return to power of the

to the people, and upon which

When the bill was read under the five
minute rule Mr. Bartlett moved to
strike out the item appropriating
$235,095 for the collection of tho in¬
come tax. A vote was taken by tellers
and resulted: Yeas, 54, nays, 127.
When the item of $250,000 for special
pension agents was reached Mr. Hen¬
derson, of Iowa, moved that the
amount be reduced to $125,000. Pend¬
ing action on this amendment tho com¬
mittee rose and the house adjouaned
until Thursday.
Everything was quiet about the sen¬
ate Thursday, aud but little interest
seemed to be taken in the proceedings
either by the senators or by the spec¬
tators. Mr. Hunton, of Virginia,
moved to take up the bill for the es¬
tablishment of a University of the
United States at Washington, D. C.
Mr. Hale, of Maine, objected to the
consideration of the bill at this time,
but suggest''^ “ at it be referred to the

WHO IS GOVERNOR ?
TENNESSEE’S OFFICIAL COUNT
IS IN FAVOR OF EVANS,
While Turney’s Friends Claim That
He Will Get it.
A Nashville Bpecial says: Secretary
of State Morgan has just received the
poll lists and tally sheets from Roane
county, thus completing the returns,
and has made public the official vote
for governor.
The figures give Evans (republican)
105,104, Turney (democrat) 104,356,
and Mims (populist) 23,092. Evans’
plurality is therefore 948.
The canvassing board is proceeding
to canvass the vote for assemblymen.
There will doubtless be a contest for
the governorship before the legislature.
Both sides are claiming fraud aud col¬
lecting evidence.
DEMOCRATS SAY TUP.NEY IS ELECTED.
Another Nashville dispatch is as
follows: The official vote for governor
as just given out makes Evans’ plural¬
ity 748. The democrats in a general
way claim that the poll tax law was
disregarded in East Tennessee, and
that in some of the counties in that
part of the state, which is republican,
frauds can be shown sufficiently to re¬
elect Governor Turney. It is there¬
fore probable that the legislature will
have to consider a contest for the of¬
fice.
At the republican headquarters it is
claimed that the election laws were
observed in but few of the rural dis¬
tricts in west Tennessee and in not
many rural districts in middle Ten¬
nessee, that in Fayette and Lauder¬
dale counties, which are democratic,
gross frauds were perpetrated, as
shown by the affidavits of a large
number of men who swear that they
voted for Evans, notwithstanding the
fact that the official returns do not
show that the votes were cast.

Would Not Take $1,000 for it—Re«
lieved of Fifteen Years of Suf¬
fering from Dyspepsia.
AtxrxuA, Ok., .June 22.—11. 0. B. Com¬
pany,, Atlanta, On.—Gentlemen: 1 hiul
suffered from that terriblo dyspepsia, for
over fifteen years, and during that time
tried everything 1 could hear of, and spent
over three hundred dollars in doctor’s bills
without receiving the slightest benefit.
Indeed 1 continued to grow worse. Fintt’
ly. after I despaired of obtaining relief, a
friend recommended B. B. B (Botanic
Blood Balm), and l began using it; not
however expecting to be bone fitted. After
using half a bottle I was satisfied I wai
being b un-fitted, and when the sixth bottle
was taken I lelt like a new man. 1 would
not take a thousand dollars for t ho good it
has done me; intact the relief l derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I
would have died had 1 not taken it.
Respectfully, etc., Paulk,
Thomas
