"SHUTTING OUT OARE"
Wo may open the door to our neighbors,
And optn Cue door to our friends;
Vi’s may entertain gueata at our table,
While friendship with courtesy blend*;
We may rather onr dear ones about ua—
Our helpmeet and children so fair—
But let ns forget not to banish
From tbes.i tender meetings, dull care.
It watches »t doors and at windows;
It whistles through crannies and cracks;
It giveth the good man the headache;
It pinches and tortures and racks.
It nits down nnasked at the table;
It crouches beside the down bed;
It takes all the brightness from slumber,
It takes all the sweetness from bread.
Os *U thin-B to make onr lives happy,
Os all things to make onr paths fair,
There i» nothing from Home’s cheerful fireside
So sacred like shutting ont care.

Love’s Story.
Mr. Paul Persimmon had just fin
ished his evening toilet.
He was a handsome yonng man of
some six-and-twenty verdant springe,
with a yellow mnstache and hair to cor
respond, a pink complexion, like an i
overgrown masculine doll, and big blue
eyes which were pronounced “sweet”
by all the young ladies of his acquaint
ance ; and as he stood there, in the gio
ries of a pearl-colored suit, with lavendet
kid gloves, cameo shirt-studs and an in
tangible odor of eau de patchouly übonl
his initialed pocket-handkerchief; on<
could but think of the wax young gen
tiemen in the “drapers’ and tailors”
windows on Broadway.
Mr. Persimmon was very handsome,
spoke with a slight lisp and waltzed like
a Parisian—and Mr. Persimmon was on
the lookout for matrimonial promotion I
“Paul must marry rich,” said all his
friends. “He could no more buffet with
the waves of adverse fortune than a gold
fish could swim among Arctic icebergs.
Poor, dear Paul I he must certainly have
a wife with money! ’
And so Mr. Persimmon himself
thought He bad never been educated
to do anything except quote poetry and
look handsome, but these things he cer
tainly accomplished to perfection. And
he was jnst issuing from his apartment
in Mrs. Guatabrook’s first-class board
ing house when Major Milfoil met him
face to face.
“Hallo I" cried Mr. Persimmon, cor
dially, extending one trim, little gloved
hand.
“Hallo, old fellow,” responded Major
Milfoil, cavalierly. “I was just coming
up to talk over last night’s party with
you. But you are going out—well, I'll
walk with you a part of the way.”
And lie passed his arm through that
of Mr. Persimmon, adding:
“Charming evening, wasn't it?”
“Delightful," drawled the exquisite,
swinging his tiny ebony cane back and
forth as ho walked. "But Miss Ellery
does always give such tip-top entertain
ments 1”
“You, at least, appeared to enjoy it,”
said his friend, good-humoredly. “1
saw you flirting desperately with some
girl or other I”
Mr. Persimmon smiled, and pulled his
flaxen mustache,
“Ye—es 1" he observed, consciously.
“I’ve pretty much made up my mind in
that quarter I”
“A foregone conclusion, eh?” said
M> ja' Milfoil. “Well, at all events, she
is very pretty in the bright sparkling
style of feminine loveliness, and she
dresses well, too. May I venture to ask
her name, and what may be her local
habitation ?"
“Oti, of course,” asserted Mr. Persim
mon. "I was going to call there this
morning as soon as I'd been round by
the club house, and stopped in at the
Slotdmartere Hotel for a few minutes.
She is staying at No. Meridou
street, and her name is Miss St. Os
borne I"
“M'ss St. Osborne I”
"Yea—what is there so peculiar about
the name ? It’s rather unusual to be
sure, but "
"And No. Meridou street?”
“Exucty so,” was the somewlu
puzzled answer. “Now will you be
good enough to tell mo what you are
opening your eyes so wide for?”
“Nothing," Major Milfoil answered
with a slight shrug of his shoulders;
“except that the Miss St Osborne who
boards with Mrs. Parker at No.
Meridou street, is a mnsio teacher, and
r v lessons to uiy brother s three little
8> * "
Mr. P’rsinimnn stopped short in the
very flood-tide of pedeetrianism that
flows at noonday round the corner of
Broadway and Fourteenth street, and let
fall the tiny ebony cane in hisconsterna
tion.
“Eh?” Ye ejaculated, feebly; “a
mn-ic-teacher ? Why, I always sup
posed she was an heiress. ”
“Who told yon so?” asked Milfoil,
wondering ly,
“Well, I can’t say that any one ever
cold me so,” answered Mr. Persimmon
“but—but I somehow got the impres
won. Why, she wears such splendid
solitaire diamonds 1”
“Hired, probably, or borrower! for the
occasion,” suggested Major Milfoil.
“And dresses exquisitely.”
“That's easily done, if one happens to
have rich relations.”
Mr. Persimmon smote his lily smooth
forehead with his left lavender-kidded
palm.
“A music teacher!” he reiterated,
‘Well, I do say, Milfoil, it’s a deuce of
a shame to pull wool over a fellow's eyes
in this sort of fashion. Why, she must
be a regular hueband-hnnter.”
"Granted that she is,"returned Major
Milfoil, quietly, “what are you but a
wife-hunter ?”
“Oh—well—nodoubt—very possibly,”
acknowledged Mr. Persimmon, not
without a very visible spice of confusion;
“but the cases are quite different.”
“Will you explain to me the "differ
ence ?" persisted Milfoil, maliciously.
“A music teacher 1 Upon my word, it
is disgraceful,” went on Paul Persim
mon. “And I had almost proposed to
her. Dear, dear, what a narrow escape
I’ve had,” aud he wiped hie forehead
with hia patchouly-scented pocket hand
kerchief. “Think of me living up in the
fourth floor of a third rate boarding
house and my wife giving lessons to
support ns 1”
And as Major Milfoil looked at his
companion’s effeminate countenance and
listened to his words, he could not but
think that Miss Bt.|Osborne had had a
lucky escape.
Miss Laura St. Osborne was sitting in
her luxurious room at Mrs. Parker’s
fashionable boarding house that same
morning, looking extremely pretty in a
morning negligee of rose colored cash
mere, while her silky black curls were
tied back with a broad fillet of pink rib
bon, and diamonds sparkled like so many
big, limpid dewdrops on her pretty
fingers. She was a brilliant little bru
nette, with peachy-red cheeks, long,
dark eyelashes and brows as black and
perfectly arched as if they had been out
lined with a pencil dipped in jet.
Opposite to her, at the mirror, be
tween the two windows, a tall, slender
girl of eighteen was trying on a plain,
little black silk bonnet.
“Are you going already, Eitelle?”
yawned the Oriental-eyed beauty.
“1 must, Cousin lianra. I have a
lesson to give at one o’clock at Mrs.
Demet ey’s.”
“Busy little bee 1” laughed Miss St.
O-borne. “Really, Stella, you make
me almost ashamed of my own dulce
far niente life 1”
“But you are rich, Laura, and I am
poor 1”
“Nevertheless, you will not accept
pecuniary aid from me, you haughty
spirited damsel 1”
E telle St. Osborne shook her head,
“I would ruther be independent,” said
she, calmly.
“So I must remain alone to receive
the visit of my handsome little adorer,
Paul Persimmon,” laughed Lauro.
Estelle looked keenly at her.
“Laura, do you like Mr. Persim
mon ?”
“A little!” was the gayly defiant an
swer. “Youdo not?”
"I have only seen him at a distance,
you know—but to me he seems frivolous
and shallow 1”
“He is very handsome,” Laura
dreamily observed.
“Yes, but beauty ia not everything 1”
And, so speaking, Estelle St. Osborne
left the room.
Three hours afterward she re-entered
to find Laura still alone.
“Well, did you enjoy Mr. Persim
mon's call ?”
Laura pouted her pretty cherry lips.
“Mr. Persimmon has not been hero
at all, Eitelle,” she answered.
“But I thought he asked permission
to call on you this morning ?"
“So ho did—but it seems that he has
not decided to avail himself of the
grunted permission, Estelle!” with a
bright, sudden toss of the jetty cascade
of curls, “let’s go for a walk down Fifth
avenue—it is too lovely a day to shut
one's self up in the house !”
And the two cousins set off for a walk
on the fashionable thoroughfare.
As luck, or rather Cupid, would have
it, almost the first person they met was
Mr. Paul Persimmon himself, saunter
ing gracefully along, in his pearl-colored
suit and his ebony emo, one arm passed
through that of a gentleman—not, how
ever, Major Milfoil, this time.
Laura’s face brightene I she half
paused—but Mr. Persimmon, averting
his countenance, hurried on, and she
could hear him say in a quiet and aud
ible voice:
“A mere music-teacber ! I never was
so astonished in all my life I Why, I
supposed "
And distance swallowed up the re
mainder of the speech.
Laura St. Oab irne’s cheek flushed
scarlet with indignation her heart
throbbed high.
"Eitelle I” she said, “you are right.
He is a fool, and n shallow one at
I hat.”
Miss St. Oiborne met him at a party
that self sumo evening, but neither
sought the companionship of the other.
The subtle chains had been snapped
asunder - the electric charm dissolved I
A month afterward Mr. Persimmon
met a friend on the street, or rather an
icquaintauoe, oue Mr. Howard Boyn
ton.
“My dear fellow 1” he cried, seizing
nim by a button of the coat, “is this
true that I hear about you ?’
“Is what true!” Mr. Boynton de
manded, composedly.
“That you are engaged to Miss St.
Osborne.”
“Quite true !"
“Miss Laura St. Osborne ?”
“Yes."
“But—she is a music-teacher 1"
“That would make not a hair's differ
ence in my estimate of her, even were
it true,” Mr. Boynton haughtily ob
served. "But it happens that you are
completely mistaken. Miss Estelle St.
O-borne gives lessons in music, thereby
elevating herself in my estimation
through her high-souled independence;
out her consin, Miss Laura, is heiress
to a fortune, in her own right, of over
one hundred thousand dollars 1” Aud
Mr. Boynton, extricating himself from
the grasp of the perfumed little dandy,
walked ipiietlv on. leaving the latter
gentleman transfixed with astonishment
and dismay.
He had let the heiress slip through
his fingers after all! And n hundred
thousand dollars 1 Paul Persimmon
grew pale as he thought of it I
"It's all Milfoil's fault I" he cried
querulously to himself. “But I never
will believe what people say again.”
What a pity it was that onr dapper
little hero's good resolutions had come
too late,

Mrs. George App is a wealthy widow

THE NEW PROPHET.
ABOUT EL MAHDI OF THE DESERT.
The Arab Lender’* Career and Appear,
nnce Described bv a Th ng Irm News*
paper.
Mohammed Ahmed, the religions head
of the Soudanese insurrection, is a man
of about 40 years of age. He is a native
of Dongola, one of the oldest towns of
Abyssinia. This town, situated on the
Nile, had its day of splendor aud power
in the middle ages, but now it has only
three or four hundred inhabitants. Mo
hammed Ahmed was born of poor par
ents. His father was named Abdellalii
and his mother Amina. Oue of the
few Europeans who know him personally
—M. Peney, of Khartoum—gives us the
following account of this man:
When 7 years' of age Mohammed
Ahmed commenced to attend the Mus
sulman school, and when 12 years old
he had completed the study of the
Koran. For the means of pursuing his
religions education he was indebted to
his brothers, who were established as
carpenters and boat builders. They en
abled him to pursue his studies in the
neighborhood of Khartoum under the
instruction of such able masters as El
Gomaehem and Abdel Tyim, son of the
famous sheik El Tayeb. When his ed
ucation was completed he removed to
the island of Dabo, on the White Nile.
He had lived there fifteen years ven
elated by the Baggarah, when he an
nounced himself as the Mahdi, or Divine
Messenger, destined to regenerate Islam.
This enterprise has up to the present
fully succeeded. Has not the East
always proved a prosperous sphere for
all religious innovators? The new
Prophet enlisted in his train the major
ity of the population of the Egyptian
Soudan, and in three years of warfare
he succeeded in expelling the Turks,
who had occupied the country for sixty
years. The insurrection burst forth
with fury in 1880. The Governor of the
Soudan sent two successive expeditious
in 1881 against the Mahdi. Both met
the same fate; the Egyptian soldiers
were annihilated by the partisans of the
Prophet. In 1882 a third expedition
followed, but the insurrection had grown
in strength aud importance, aud seven
hundred Egyptians were encountered by
fifty thousand Arabs, or negroes, com
manded by Mohammed’s two brothers.
They were necessarily annihilated.
The whole of Sennaar then uprose.
The Mahdi marched on El Obeid, and,
after a vigorous siege aud a bloody fight,
captured that city. The succeeding
events are in the memory of all— Hicks'
expedition aud his defeat at, Kasgell;
that of Baker Pasha nt El Teb; the de
parture of Gordon for Khartoum, his
blockade and vigorous resistance. But
it is chit fly to the personality of the
Mahdi that this article is dedicated, and
we conclude it by reproducing his por
trait as drawn by M. Peney.
Ahmed-Mohammed is a man of middle
stature. His complexion is copper
colored, bis beard very black, and on
each cheek he bears three parallel
sosrs. Ho is extremely spare, the prob
able result of the rigorous fasts to which
he condemns himself. Previous to hie
entering upon active life he used to dwell
in a subterranean cell or cave, where, ac
cording to bis followers, ho was conti-i
--tially weeping over the universal cor
ruption ot his race. The Mahdi always
wears as his invariable costume a shirt
and drawers of rfanioni, a coarse ma
tenul of native manufuctaro. His feet
are clothed with sandals, and a small
turban surmounts his head.
Such is the man who now leads the
Egyptian reliellion. I,ike al) East*ru
agitators, he burst forth suddenly from
the greatest obscurity to assume the
united roles of reformer and conqueror
Yesterday but a poor man, to-day we see
him at the head of an innumerable
army. What is the secret of this rapid
change of fortune ? It is found in the
fact that Mahdi has appealed to that
sentiment which, as history testifies, iu
every age aud in every clime has been
the parent of the bitterest rancor, led
to the most savage ware, aud deluded
the earth with blood—religious fanati
cism.

Budd's Very Smart Boy.
Iu the flush stock times, when W. C.
Budd was the idol of the Stock Board
aud many who are now satisfied with
beer and sandwiches could not endure
anything but champagne, he had a boy
in his oflice who made a little turn iu
speculation aud he determined to go on
a little tour of the State. He got a holi
day aud started. At last he reached Los
Augeles and there he met a couple of
card speculators, who took the chances,
with more or less certainty, at poker.
Two days after this meeting Budd re
ceived a telegram:
“W. C. Budd, Siu Francisco: Please
send me 8200 to pay my debts and ex
penses back."
Mr. Budd did not answer. The yonng
gentleman evidently proceeded to tackle
the poker game again, and next day
Budd received another telegram:
"W. C. Budd, San Francisco: Please
send me 8300 to pay my debts and ex
penses back.”
Still Mr. Budd did not reply, and next
day came this:
“Waym m C. Budd, San Francisco:
Send me 8400.”
Budd was getting annoyed. So was
the clerk apparently, for he telegraphed
agaiu:
“Budd. San Francisco: Send me
8500.”
Mr. Budd took the money and went
and telegraped it to Los Augeles.

Tom Corwin’s Endorsement.
Speaking of recommendations to office,
I have a story which Gen. Denver, of
Ohio, tells of Tom Corwin, the great
Ohio Senator. “Corwin’s good will,”
said Gen. Denver, "was unbounded.
He would give a recommendation to any
one aud for any place. One day when !
he was in the Senate aud Meredith was
Secretary of the Treasury an office
seeker came to Corwin and asked him
to endorse papers applying for an ap
pointment in the Treasury. Corwin
looked over them and wrote a very flat
tering endorsement upon them. The
man applied for his place and failed to
get it. In the course of time President
Taylor died and Fillmore came into the
presidency. Corwin was then made
Secretary of the Treasury. The office
seeker now thought he was sure of an
appointment. He called upon Mr. Cor
win, showed him his papers endorsed
with Corwin’s signature and demanded j
a place. Corwin locked at the papers
and, pointing to his own signature, said:
“This is a strong endorsement, sir.”
The man nodded. “And did that not
get you a place under the former Secre
tary ?”
“It did not," was the reply.
“Well 1 If that endorsement was not
strong enough to get you a place under
Secretary Meredith, it will certainly not
l>e strong enough to get you one under
Corwin. Good day. sir 1”

With Hop Bitters !!!
Having experienced a great deal of
“Trouble!” from indigestion, so much so
that I came near losing my
Life!
My trouble always came after eating my
*ood—
However light
And digestible,
For two or three hours at a time I had to
go through most
Excruciating pains,
“And the only way I ever got”
“Relief!”
Was by throwing up all my stomach con
tained. No one can conceive the pain that
1 had to go through, until
“At last l ”
I was taken I “So that for three weeks I
lay in bed and
Could eat nothing!
My sufferings were so that I called two
doctors to give me something that would
stop the pain; their
Efforts were no good to me.
At last I heard a good deal
“About your H p Bitters!
And determined to try them.”
Got a bottle—in four hours tooa the con
tents of
One!
Next day I was out of bed, and have not
seen a
“Sick!'’
Hour, from the same cause since.
I have recommended it to hundreds of oth
ers. You have no such
“Advocate as I am.’’—George Kendall, Al
iston, Boston, Mass.

Dear Editor:—l have tried your Hop Bitters,
and find they are good for any complaint.
