A MBMOST.
Across the waste of yours I see
Oiu 1 spot forever soft nnd green
Which, shrined within my memory.
In evening glow or morning sheen,
Tells of the golden vanished year.,
When smiles came oftener far than tears.
A PlitUrhyArd h.v the restless sen,
Where in deep, eslni and drcMnlrs* sleep,
The Dead lay resting peacefully,
Unheeding tho tempestn»us deep;
Careless alike of s n and breeae.
Or ohhmg of those changeful sens.
And oft when shipwreck and despair
Caine to tlm little sen-lmat town.
Pale women, with disheveled hair,
To the wild shore went hurrying down,
And tenderly dead eyes would close.
And smooth dend limhs for long repose.
Fnll many a weary, storm-tossrd wight,
Year after year, in quiot wna laid,
Hafe from the blustering storms of nigh*
III this green spot anil undismayed,
Hlept clone bi side tho breakers' roar,
Whose wrath should mar his rest uo mure.
And over snob low-slooptng head,
Where thymy turf grow green and soft,
The wild Is o hummed, and rosy red
The brier-flower bloomed, and tip aloft
The fleecy clouds went drifting by
Like shades, across the summer sky.
And over os the years go by,
And one by one old memories creep
From out the sweet past solemnly,
I seem to see, bosulo the dorp,
That little, lonely, silent spot,
With many a childish dream onwronght.

Tho linker listened, and thought he
recognized the band cf his apprentice
who had been siok tor a week. Over*
joyed, be leaped on! of lied, crying;

Tho lovers stared at. each other in con
sternation. At that instant the staira
creaked beneath the baker’a heavy tread.
How was Stanislas to escape? The

terrified Stanislas:

Coquelard followed her recommenda

the direction Berthe hod indicated with
rapid goBture. In tbe darkness lie
missed tho chest but encountered tbe

Tran»lnted from tlio French for the Phil*. Cull.
Pouparlin-en-Digarrau was by all (aids
the most wearisome town in tho whole
department of the Garonuo-Iuferieurc.
Among its 8,500 inhabitants it con
tained only eight pretty gir's, a fact
that disgusted all the young men living
within its limits.
Ono of these eight pretty gyls was
kRertbe, daughter rtf'M. Agenor Malen
frond, one of the two rival bakers of tlio
town. Bcrftie was sweet 16, and would
have had plenty of adorers had not her
father pitileesly driven away all (he
young men who had ever ventured to
pay her even the slightest attention, M
Malenfrond hod amassed considerable
money, and did not wish his daughter
to become tho wife of a gallant without
a son.
Btanislas Ooquelard, tho towu notary’s
youthful clerk, was gifted with a senti
mental soul. He bnd just reached that
age when the heart opens to love ns tlio
corolla of a flower to the kisses of the
breeze. Btanislas thought that rou-
parlin should furnish him with other
happiness than contemplating the broad
meadows during the day nud listening to
tbe song of the nightingales during tho
night.
It was toward tho close of April, and,
while he conscientiously copied tbe no
tary’s documents, the young clerk
thought of the charming Bertho, nud
wondered what he could do to get into
I he good graoes of her hard-hearted
father, who, by the way, waa a widower.
Btanislas had read in the young girl’s
eyes that she was dissatisfied with her
lot, and firmly believed that she would
not be averse to accepting liis heart and
hand if ever he got an opportunity to
offer them to her.
Btanislas Ooquelard was twenty, and
Imd abundant fuith in the belief that liis
timo wonld come.
The notary’s house was situated oppo
site the bakery, and occasionally the
clerk had exchanged through tbe win
dows more than one furtive glance with
the pretty Berthe.
Every morning on his way to the no
tary’s, ho stopped at the bakery and
bought a sou loaf of Berthe, ns he paid
lor it, ho rolled his eyes after the fashion
of a young man who iB desperately
smitten and intends (lint tho object of
his adoration shall know it.
On her side, the linker’s daughter was
fnr from regarding Btanislas in a way to
discourage him.
Such a state of things could not lost
very long without producing the usual
result.
The baker made liis bread during tlio
day, then went to bed nnd did not riso
until it was time to begin baking, to
ward half-past ten at night.
One evening the clerk, taking advan
tage of tho moment when M. Malen
frond was still slumbering while await
ing the hour at w hich his nocturnal toil
was to commence, fell at Berthe’s feet
nnd began a speech, to which he added
I ho most expressive pantomime. He
ended by asking her to marry him.
Berthe, unusod to such masculine elo
quence, was melted, and in a low voice
consented to unite her destiny to his.
Stanislas, greatly affected, kissed Ber-
Ihe several times so enthusiastically that
he awakened M. Malenfrond, who slept
in a chamber over the back shop.
He onmo down amid the dough with a
thud, but he had the presence of mind to
draw the lid over him.
At that moment the baker entered the
apartment.
"Bnorobleu I” growled he, "there ia no
light here I”
Berthe instantly replied:
"It’s the fault of this wretched lamp. 1
tried to turn up the wiok, but It went
out. That lazy Nicole muat have for
gotten to put oil in it I”
A two minutes’ search ensued; then
came tho aoratohing of matches, and the,
lamp waa lighted again.
"What t” exclaimed M. Malenfrond,
"are yon alone ? Why, I thought I heard
sonic ono a kneading a little whilo ago 1”
You had the Lightmnre, father I”
DEATHS FROM TRICHINOSIS.
Terrible ItrKitlt* Which Kolln.veit It ill Ilia
IIhw l*i«rl»—Four l.lven l.n-1.
„ A letter from Loyalhanna, Pa., says;
—Two more of the seven persons who
ate n quantity of raw pork about six
weeks ago, died at the residence of Haim
Galle, near hero. Four persons, all wo
men, have thus fullen victims to the first
authenticated cnHcs of trichinosis in the
About a year ago Christian Bchilitzor,
bis wife Emmeline and daughter Bessie,
Hans Galle, his wife Catharine and
daughter Marguerite nnd Edward Clap-
ter, a young friend of tho Bchilitzers,
onmo to this country ns emigrants.
They settled m Columbia oouuty, hut
during tho recent floods in tlio Susque
hanna river their homes were inundated
' and they lost a portion of what littlo
worldly goods they possessed. They
were very poor, and, crushed by this
misfortune, moved aomo weeks sinoo to
a little hamlet near here. They had
nothing to eat, and made their wants
understood with extreme difficulty.
Among them they mustered enough
money to buy some meat, and it was de
elded they should have pork. Christian
Hcliilitzer accordingly onmo nud pur-
. wouilltaer uuouruiuuiv oiiiuu uuu iun
answered tho daughter, soothingly^ o The animal was dressed
"-» v ’iy, who on earth could be here? ... *1“
Gervais, our »P«Pk
won’t tie out of lied for VwOoTt to come.”
"Thon I didn’t hear right. But now
Pin up I’ll go to work I”
And the baker, rubbing his hands to
get them in working trim, went to tho
dough trough and raised the lid.
At that moment a great clammy hand
arose from the depths of a box, hurling
fragments of soft dough in every direc
tion. "What’s that—what’s that?” ex-
elaimed M. Malenfrond, drawing back u
couple or pnees. "Who tho deuoo is iu
tlio dough ”
He did not finish. An enormous
plaster of dough was applied to his face
with a splash, cutting short his excla
mations and blinding him at the same
timo.
The linker was conscientious lu tho
exercise of hiH trade. His dough was
well kneaded, nud, though ho made
tremendous efforts to scrape tho plaster
from his visage, two or two minutcH
elapsed before ho was able to open liis
eyes and speak.
During tho whole of this scene,
Berthe, paralyzed with astonishment,
had not stirred.
When her father had suooeeded, un
aided, in ridding himself of his plaster,
she recovered her senses and began to
cry:
"Oh, mou Dieu !” It must be a rob
ber I”
"Ah, the scoundrel 1” groaned poor
Malenfrond. "Whero is he, that I may
knock him down I”
And, all sticky as he was, he rushed
to tho dough-trough.
It was empty, and empty in every
sense, Btanislas in his flight had
dragged off on his person all the baker’s
dough. He had left in the bottom of
the box only his shoes, that would have
bothered him in running.
"Ouf!” cried tho unfortunate baker.
"Tlio thief 1 I cannot bake tonight,
lie has taken the bread out of the
months of moro than ten families I”
During this timo the clerk, all covered
with dongk, hastened ns well ns he could
toward tho shop of tho other baker,
which was not far away.
The latter received this farinaceous
mass with the greater affability, as ho
brought with him fifteen or eighteen
livres of dough. He scraped the clerk
so conecientiously that tho next day
some of the inhabitants of tbe town
found in their loaves, one a ping of
tobacco, another a porte-monnaie con
taining eighteen sous, a third a pocket-
handkerchief and a bunch of keys.
The luckiest had for his share a sheet
of stamped paper.
'Tliis worked against M. Malenfrond’s
rival, who, accused of inattention to
business, lost a part of his customers,
thus once again proving that wrongly-
acquired property never benefits any
one.
A few weeks afterward Stanislas ven
tured to ask M. Malenfrond for his
daughter’s hand. As tbo clerk had re
ceived a legacy of a few thousand francs,
(lulm Knox’s r»nrts1il|i.
•hole (according to tlie fashion in some
pfrts of Germany)' garnished with raw
onions, red pepper and salt, but was not
eooked. A family feast ensued, of which
all the persons partook. Ono week after
ward Mrs. Bchilitecr died, having for
several days suffered violent pains iu the
stomach nnd curious creeping nnd Hting
ing sensations in her limits. A physi
oian was called in, but, it la said, did
not seem to understand tho chnrnoter of
the disease.
Mr. Boliilitzer, however, who had
served in tho Prussian army and had
seen cases of trichinosis, suspeotod (he
existence of this malady, and a piece of
fiesh from one of hin wife’s legs was
taken to Pittsburg for examination. An
nnaylsis disclosed the presence of mil
lions of minute pin shaped worms with
pointed heads, which hnd burrowed iu
all the tissues of the unfortunate wo
man’s body. Mra. Hcliilitzer at length
died of strangulation, a mass of tho
worms being found to have crawled into
her throat and stopped it up.
In the meantime all the others who
ate of the pig had been prostrated.
Christian Bchiliizor, Hans Gallo and
another daughter, younger than Mar
guerite, (|ro not now expected to re
cover. They suffer terribly, and Bohilit-
zer’s arms have been eaten away nutil
only a thread of tho muscles remains.
A Governor’s Son’s Error
The Oakland (Cal.) Tribune Hays:
Gov. Stonemau has pardoned a young
convict in th'e State prison who is a son
of a distinguished but deceased cx-Gov-
ernor of the State from which tho son
came several years ago. Tho father has
been dead a few years, but the mother
is still liviug and has been begging her
son to return, unconscious of liis incar
ceration in the penitentiary. He was
too proud to allow the family name to be
disgraced and was oonvictcd under a
fictitious name, and managed to keep
liis mother In ignorance of his trouble.
Whilo in Ban Francisco he fell into tho
hands of designing villains, older than
himself, and, whilo dissipating, was led
into the commission of tbe crimo. Ho
was but a boy, nnd it was regarded m
bad policy to ruin his life by mrther im
prisonment when he had bitterly re
pented his course and was anxious to re
turn to his home nud lead the life hi#
mother expects him to.
The Constitution.
Robert Rodney, U. S. N., would like
to have the Constitution amended so
that no eitizen eonld own more than ton
million dollars’ worth of property. If
Mr. Rodney is afraid of owning more
than ten million dollars himself, ho can
easily give away his surplus wealth,
without an amendment. As for tho
vest of the people, there are compara
tively few of them who are troubled
that way, and when they are they will
manage to get along under the present
, Constitution, says an exchange.
John Knox, before tho light of tho
Reformation broke np, traveled among
several honest families in tho west of
Scotland, who wore converts to the Pro
testant religion. Particularly ho visited
oft Lord Ochiltree's family, preaching
tho Gospel privately to those who wore
willing to rcoivo it. Tho lady and sorno
of her family wore converts. Her lady
ship had a room, table, stool nnd candle
stick for him, and ono night about sup
per t-imo said to him: "Mr. Knox, I
think you are at a loss by want of a
wife ?”
To which he said: "Madam, I think
nobody will take such a wanderer as I.”
To which she replied: "Hir, if that bo
your objection I will make an inquiry to
find nu answer against our next meet
ig.’’
Tlio lady accordingly addressed her
self to her oldest daughter, tolling her
that she might be very happy if shq
could marry Mr. Knox, who would be a
great reformer and a credit lo the
Church, but she despised the proposal,
hoping that her ladyship wished her
hotter than to marry a poor wanderer.
The lady addressed the second daughter,
who answered as the eldest. Then she
spoke to the third daughter, about 19
years of ago, who very fairly said:
’ Madam, I'll bo very willing to marry
him, but I fear lie’ll not take mo."
To which tho lady replied: "If that
bo your objection I'll soon get an
answer."
Next night at the supper the lady
said: "Hir, I havo been considering on
a wife for yon, and found one very will-
„
To which Knox replied: "Who is it,
madam ?”
Bho answered: "My young danghtor,
sitting by your side at the table,"
Then addressing himself to the young
lady, he said: "My bird, are yon willing
to marry me ?’’
Bhe answered: "Yes, sir; only I foar
you will not bn willing to tako mo."
He said: "My bird, if you bo willing
to take mo you must take your venture
of Ood’s providenoe, as I do. I go
through the country sometimes on foot
with a wallet on my arm and n Bible in
it. You may put somo things for your
self, hnt if I bid you tako tho wallet you
must do it, and go whero I go, and
lodge where I lodge.”
"tSir," she said, "I'll do all this.”
"Will you bo ns good as your word?
"Yes, I will.”
Upon whieli tho marriage was oon-
oliidod. Bho went with him to Geneva.
And as ho was ascending a hill, sho got
up to the top of it before him, and took
the wallet on her arm, and, sitting
down, said: "Now, good man, am I
not as good as my word V"

One day soon after tho second Bull
Run and Chantilly, a privuto soldier be
longing to an Ohio regiment sought an
interview with liis captain, aud uti-
nounoed that he had a plan for a mili
tary campaign, which must certainly re
sult in crushing out tho rebellion. Tho
officer very naturally inquired for par
ticulars, but Hie soldier refused to re
veal them, and asked for a chance to lay
his plans before Pope himself. After
some delay ho was given a pass to head
quarters. Ho did not got to see Pope,
but after tho chief of staff had coaxed

up and replied :

and Boh Leo to swap commands, and if
we dou’t lick the South inside of sixty
days yon may shoot me for a patent hay

When ho returned to camp he wbh
naturally asked what success he met
with, and he ruefully replied :

A large and imposing Benator from a
Western State was walking up and down
the Senate Chamlier behind the chairs,
says a Washington letter. His hands
mot at the small of his back aud one of
them held the other. His step was
stately and his head leaned forward a
trifle. On his face was the far-away,
abstracted expression usually interpreted
to mean that the owner of it is in deep
thought. On a sofa in a corner of the
Senate Chamber sat a Senator from an
other Western State talking to a friend.
Pointing to the Senator who was pacing
back and forth in full view of the gal
leries, the sitting Senator said to his
friend: "There’s a man who is labor
ing under a very strange hallucination.”
"What is it?” inquired the startled
friend.
"Why, he thinks he’s thinking."
