THE ONE LOVED BE3T.
BY HELES A. MAKYILLE.
She sits by his side with an anxious look
Marring her white p«trieian face,
Ablaze with jewels which here and there
Gleam out from the folds of ner sheeny lace.
Her tout ensemble is perfect quiet
From her bofanet down to her dainty shoe
But why is my lady distraught tonight
While the fife is played and the drums tattoo?
Hof while is only a borrowed mask,
gv\o hide her woe from the gaping crowd,
And the white of her face will never be
Whiter when she is in her shroud.
And why is this, when this kingly man
At her side is hers by legal right?
As the world c«n see. who more than she
Should wear the smile of couteut tonight?
Oh, the lies that are lived as the world goes ou!
Oil the v >ws that are broken every day!
And oh, for the hopes which the years now gone
Have hidden out of our sight away!
But the sad lest thing for a wife to hear.
When only her heart in the darkness stirs,
Is the sound of a name from the lips loved be6t,
The sou ad of a name—aud the name not hers.
She hears it now through the music’s whirl;
It will hurt her down to her dying day;
The name of the gracious, sweet faced girl
She* met as she walked on the street today.
Ah, it needed not the whispered name
In his happy dreams with nis mind at rest;
My lady knows to her grief and shame
Tnat the old love yet is the one loved best.
Dear Auntie and Cousins: I have long
wished to join your happy circle, but unlike
Periwinkle the “spirit didn’t move me” until
now aud if Auutie will admit me I will make
my debut into your circle.
Cousins I’ve been away from home a month
and I had a splendid time (?).
I, for one have never read any of Dickens’
works but I intend reading some of them in the
6weet bye and bye.
How many of the cousins have read Dora
Thorn? I think it a splendid novel
Now, auntie, don't scold please, if I say that I
read novels.
Little Nell. I ought to know you as I live in
the same city or town as some call it, that you
do. but I don't know you and I don’t think that
you know me. for among the cousins 1 am a
Missing Link.
P. S.:—Perhaps the cousins cannot tell by my
name, whether I am a girl or a boy, but I will
frankly slate t hat I am a girl. M. L.

Dear Aunt Judy and Cousins: Well I’m so
lonely this evening that l do not know what to
do with myself, so 1 thought that 1 would chat
with aunt Judy and the cousius a few moments.
1 have been away from home about a month
an 1 hive not seen a c >py of the S. 3. for some
time. I’ve been visiting my aunt living near
K. I certainly had a delightful lime while I was
there, boat-rid in* limiting etc. I enjoy fishing
verv much, but I was unsuccessful while there,
as I*did not catch any in the water or ou dry
land either
What has become of Hamlet of the Household
department? i would like to ask Dim if he
wants to m ike any more changes? I'm sorry
that he didn t have an entertaining compauion.
Aliem!
Rosebud, I like your letter so much, write
again.
Well I presume ’tis time for me to t«ke my de
parture as it *s growing late. With love to all
the cousius. 1 am still,

August, 14* 1S93
D«*R Cousins: A beautiful day has just
closed and I am seated in a rocker on a broad
veranda thinking— thiukiDg of days gone by,
and as I sit pondering over things that are past
and gone tears almost start from my eyes. And
then I stop and think of the future; of course
I do uot kuow what it will be, but I often think,
What will my fate be?
Dear cousins, I often think of you all, too, and
wonder how you are passing away the time,
am going to school at present: I eujov going to
echool very much. 1 have good, kind teachers.
Cousius, I. in compauy with Tirnida and two
or three others (I do not care to tell who) spent
a day most pleasantly in the country the other
Sun lay at camp meeting I tell you I enjoyed
myself I always enjoy Tiinida’s compauy, for
«,he is su jh a good, sweet and kind girl. V
together a great deal and have lots of fun
Don't you wish we could all meet together at
€0 ae place and chat with each other? I would
like to see all the cousins and chat with them.
Billy Bent, I would bi pleased to hear from
you. *
Earnest Willie, I like to read your interesting
letters aud wish you would write every week.
Well, I must have some pity ou poor Aunt
Judy and stop writing for the present If this
letter is printed pirhaps I will come again soon.
Kind wishes for all. Heritage.

Dear Ones: A longing has come o’er me to
be with you once again and spend a few pleas
ant moments in your midst, gazing on Auntie’s
genial, happy face, while she welcomes her
loved little (?) ones, with a pleasant nod and
quiet smile, and bids you take a * cheer.’
What do we say to having a circulating li
brary? Johnny, I say let’s agitate this subject
and instead of discussing Jove, and country-
girls (I am a country lassie: no offense to any
one,) write of and talk about books and authors

of one thing. ,, , ,

up to guide him through the devious labyrinths
of the future. If there are any iu this “spring
of life’s year” without such a conception, A pity
them from the depths of my heart.
Dark and dreary must be the life, and cold
“as a desolate hearth,” the soul that is not ever
iuspired by the presence of a high and noble
mo d e l-a» ideal However I believe there are
very few at our period of life without some kind
of an ideal. In view of this fact, then, and
thinking that it would be of interest to kuow
each other’s peculiar aims and aspirations I
suggested this topic. Does it meet with your
approval cousins? If so, let us hear from you.
As projector of the theme, I guess my own
ideal is now in order. By the word, ideal, as I
use it, is meant a model of excellence for imita
tion—a picture of what we would be in life.
Then, mv own ideal can best be described i
the great’orator. This, doubtless, is rather
vague description of the form which ever fi^
ures iu my thoughts aud dreams, but it is about
all there is of it. The great orator is about all I
can now make out of that shadowy figure
which standing far away on the heights above,
charming aud swaying multitudes by the spell
of his eloquence, beckons me onward and bids
me climb upwads to his side. Still- this ideal
of mine the silver toiigued orator, hits one dis
tinguished feature—he ever sings of his native
land and ever strifce for his country’s weal.
Perhaps, though ray conception iu regard to
this is more a passion for eloquence than an
ideal. Glass it as you may; certain it is that—
“I love thee,” Eloquence! “Thou art a rock;
I, a weak wave, would break ou thee ana die!”
Earnest Willie, Evangeline, Claire, Fairy
Queen, Echo, Seth Bede, Elaine Lynwood etc.,
come dip your gifted pencils in sunlight and
draw, with your accustomed skill, pictures of
your ideals.
Just a moment longer. Aunt Judy, for a
necessary little mission and I’ll go. iou re
member, cousins, in my other letter I so far for
got myself, the teachings of my mother and the
lectures of my sister, as to make a guess at our
good and gentle Lynwood’s age. I promise—
solemnly promise, dear Lynwood, never again
Laying all jests aside, Miss Lynwood. I real _
and truly, beg pardon for my cheap little joke.
Aud to you, cousins. I would say that Lynwood
instead of a ‘maiden all forlorn” of 30 years is
a queenly young lady of 1H summers. In view
of my previous miscouduct, I feel that some de
scription of her is due you. Haven’t time for
an extended one, but would say that she is well
described in those words oi the poet: “A
daughter of the gods, divinely tall and most
divinely fair.” „ .
Echo, as you are from this part of the country
somewhere, your identity has aroused my
curiosity considerab y. ,
Earnestly begging pardon for my long and

Dear Cousins: You remember a short time
igo, iu a little letter to the L. B., I suggested, as
isubject for discussion in this department, our
deal as drawn by the imagination and as real
zed iu history. This proposition, however-
loesn’t seem to have been received very warm-
y. Still, the subject must be discussed—if by
ao one but myself.

from consumption and asthma—diseases
brought on by the birds being placed la

on by the birds being indiscriminately fed

will eat. When a bird is going off into a
consumption it is always eating. Hs

The Town Not Responsible.
An important decision has just been I
dered by Judge Tyler, of the Vermont
preme court, in reference to liabilities of
the towns in the state for injuries to per
sons and property on the highways. Tha
case in question was that of Charles A
Bates and wife against the village of Rut
land to recover damages for injuries an»
taineil by Mrs. Bates by being thrown from
a carriage near the village stone crusher,
it being set up as a claim that the hoiM
was frightened by the machinery.
The case was heard in the September tent
of court, 1SS9, Judge H. Henry Powers pro-
siding. The jury brought in a verdict ft*
plaintiff to recover $2,500 damages and costs.
An appeal tv as taken to the supreme court
and heard in January by four members o4
the court and the opinion assigned to Judft
Tyler, who now hands down the opinion
and files the decision as follows: “In this
case the clerk may enter judgment reversed,
and judgment for the defendant.” This it
the first case in which the issue is plainly
taken that the village or town in repairing
highways acts as the agent of the state, ana
is not responsible for negligence. It dis
poses of innumerable cases now on tbs
dockets of the lower courts.—Springfield

by a man of the name of Smith on the
cheapening of the honorary degrees,

“female colleges” have gone into the

How the Digger fefftew Live.
The Digger Indians ttve in little huts
made of poles covered with grasses or tule
leaves, though some of them have canvas
tents which doubtless they have obtained
from miners. Their lives are bounded by
one horizon—to get all they can to eat or
drink without working for it, or hunting,
which is about os bad, In that it entails fa
tigue. The children are tenderly treated
by their mothers, and their presence ig
nored by the fathers. They live in dirt
and squalor, and are utterly ignorant, hav
ing apparently no religion or principle,
and the only thing that lifts them above
the level of the beasts is that they collect
and prepare such food and shelter as nat
ure absolutely demands. In certain sea
sons so aie of them go to ifCc^St asiiore,
where they gather and eat the mussels,
limpets and abalones that they find among
the rocks, and they move about as the
grass or supply of food requires, but this
even is a very slight improvement on ani
mals.

of very large stature. Mr. Hamlin had
some resolutions to pass, which began by
representing that they were presented to a
“large and respectable” gathering of
voters. “Hold on.” cried the other man,
“we can’t pass that, for it ain’t true. It
ain’t a large and respectable caucus.
There’s only two of us.” “You keep still,
brother,” commanded the wily HannibaL
“It’s all right, for you are large and I am
respectable. You just keep still.” So the
resolutions were passed without further
demur.

Hazing at Saint Cyr.
Saint Cyr, the military college at which
young men are trained for commissions In
the cavalry and infantry, is jost now ths
scene of a lively feud between the senior
and the junior cadete. It all originated
out of the spirited conduct of a “melon,"
as the new comers are called. He had en
tered the billiard room frequented by the
older cadets, who, resenting this intrusion,
E roceeded to evict him. As he was being
ustled toward the door he hit out right
and left—a piece of disrespect which so
aroused the wrath of the seniors that they
set to work to throw the mattresses of the
“melons” out of the windows, and forbade
them to saunter into the adjacent wood,
thus consigning them to the Wagram conn
yard, which they styled disdainfully the
“oyster bed;” nor did their animosity end
here. f
They lost no opportunity of playing off
tricks on the juniors—pouring water into
the muzzles of their rifles, drenching tkiilT
beds and making their lives generally s
harden to them. At Inst the exasperated
“melons” captured a senior one evening as
he was crossing the “oyster bed,” denuded
him of his uniform and tied him to a tret
The unlucky senior was not released till
morning. This brought matters to ahead,
and if report is to be believed a number of
little affair, are on hand which will have
Queer Foods.
New Yoke, Aug. 12.—Every week sees a
lot of queer foods brought through the
custom house from abroad for the benefit
of foreign born citizens who retain a hank
ering for the delicacies of their native land.
Among those the past fortnight were dried
clams and oysters from the far east, look
ing more like pieces of carved wood than
anything edible; pickled cocks’ combs
from France (these in glass jars made a
very pretty effect, the scarlet of the meat
affording a strong contrast to the green
and brown of the spices nsed); dried white
bait from Formosa, which are the smallest
fishes in the world used for food (the larg
est are as long as a pin, while the smallest
are scarcely a quarter inch in length);
chicken sausages and goose liver sausages
from Germany, put up in cans and looking
liko anything but a delicious luxury; tons
of sweet stuff from Central America,
which resembles apple butter In appear
ance, hut is made from pineapple, banana,
orange and cocoanut; sugar alnmnd cakes
from Austria, called matzepon, which are
as close an approach to sweetened prussic
acid as the law will allow, and moon
cakes from China, which are poor imi
tations of old fashioned pork pies. These
come in ever-increasing numbers nowin
order to meet the demand for the annual
feast of the harvest moon, which occurs
