THE WATER LILY.
O star on the breast of the river,
O emblem of bloom and grace,
Did you fall right down out of heaven,
Down out of the sweetest place?
You are white as the thought of an angel,
Your heart is steeped in the sun,
Did you grow in the beautiful city,
My pure and radiant one?
Isay, nay, I fell not out of heaven,
None gave me my saintly white,
I slowly grew in the darkness,
Down in the silent night.
From the ooze of the shmy river '
I won my beauty and grace,
White souls fall not. my poet,
They rise to the sweetest place.
— M. M. Merrill, in Once a Week.
WINNING AND LOSING.
They hung, heavy plumes of purple,
over the little gateway on that bright
afternoon—the 1st of June. A charitable
breeze swept one scented bunch of bloom
a bit aside, just out of the reach of a lit-
tie white hand that had a moment before
ruthlessly stripped off half its blossoms,
But the owner of the hand had already
turned about, with a toss of tev black
curls and a flirt of her pink caiieO dress,
that scared the butterflies; and before the
brancli swung back she was hastening up
the trim garden path and flinging back a
sharp speech over her shoulder at a tall,
sunburned young fellow who, with a
vexed light in his eyes, stood in the gate-
way watching he r

was such a rosy flush s^HBnds T j

is no wonder John Ar (the hand-
some, sun-browned young fellow) took
two or three steps in pursuit of the
speaker; but he stopped, drew himself
up with sudden pride, and said one rc-
proachful word:
“Nancy!”
The one addressed wavered a little in
her retreat, then resumed it with in-
creased celerity
“Will you stop and listen to me?” the
young man asked, his rising indignation
somewhat modifying his tone of appeal.
“No!” and the pink calico swept the
myrtles on either side of the walk faster
yet.
“Very well” was the angry response, as
he who had pleaded turned toward the
gate. “But mark my words, you'll be
sorry for this before these bushes here 1 '-
brushing tho low sprays sharply „ sWc _
“are out of bloom! Now, good bv.”
Nancy, peering from behind a curtain
after his retreating figure, cried. Per-
haps the soliloquy will tell why.
“Well, it’s all over between us now,
any way. It’s his fault, too. He’d no
business to take any one to the May dance
when I couldn’t go. I shouldn’t wonder
if he's gone down to Sarah Anderson’s
now. They’ll be engaged the next thing,
and he’ll crow over me finely. He’ll try
to make me jealous.” Here Nancy had a
spasm of crying. “See if I won’t make
him iealous first'” she'
The way Lost would do it became up-
parent the afternoon, when, arrayed
in a jaunty blue dress that set off -well her
creamy complexion, dark curls and tinted
cheeks, she started for the town. The
dainty blue silk parasol was lowered a
little as she came to the pretentious row
of buildings opposite the hotel, one of
which was occupied bv Dr. Miles Gray,
But the face of the building was blank
and the surgery blinds lowered; so, with
an impatient exclamation under her
breath, Nancy went on to the Postoffice,
where, getting no letter, she turned dis-
contentedly toward home.
The Fates forbade her. She had not
before accomplished a quarter of the distance
the light roll of wheels made her
turn her head and start perceptibly.
In a moment more young Dr. Gray, whose
natty plnetou was” the envy of all the
men, aud whose fascinating smile had
won the hearts of all the women, had
drawn up his horse at her side, had leaped
to the ground, and had asked eager!v:
“Miss Evans, may I have the pleasure of
driving vou home?”
The color brightened in Nancy’s
cheeks, the light in her eves, as she as-
sented with a charming smile; and in a
moment they were slowly bowling along
the road, aud the blue ribbons were blown
against the doctor’s shoulder.
Dr. Gray was young, handsome, not
deficient in brains, with private income
enough to prevent him from being tragic-
ally earnest in his profession, and very
much in love with the coquettish bit of
womanhood by his side. As for Nancy,
she was a little afraid of the gray eyes
that could be quizzical as well as admir-
ing, and of the smile that sometimes
curled the corners of the black mustache,
But Nancy was without a lover just then,
the doctor n-as a “catch,” and so she
laughed and chattered as the bay horse
trotted
The farm-house came in sight too soon,
and the doctor stopped midway in a
speech to inquire, “won’t you take a
longer ride? It's such a beautiful after¬
noon l”
Nancy, demurred, as in duty bound.
“I-don t know I tlnnk it must be
-almost tea-time ’
The doctor laughed and held his watch
before her. It was precisely 4.
“Oh well then”-began Jsancy
somewhat confused. “But ain’t these
your visiting hours?”
“Confound my visiting hours!” com-
mented the doctor to himself. Aloud he
said: “I m sometimes obliged to break
through my hours. I am going now to
see a parent on the outskirts of the
town. So they drove on.
The “patient" could hardly have been
in a critical state. The doctor, leaning
back in the carriage, let the reins lie loose
on the horse's back as they paced slowly
on through the shady wood roads, while
the warm breeze fluttered light curls
across Nancy'sarch black eyes, and the
blue silk parasol bad to be held up to
keep the sun from her rosebud of a face,
The doctor had a lurking fear that Nancy
rustic and ignorant; but ah! she wiis
so pretty! "far

wholly wrapped in conversation, is not
known. How far they would have ridden
is uncertain, if Nancy'had not sent a mis-
chievous glance stmight into the gray
eyes and Inquired:
“Why, where does that patient of
yours live?’'
The doctor laughed frankly, coloring
'
nevertheless.
“I see you understand the ‘ways that
are dark and the tricks that are vain’
pretty well. Miss Nancy. And now I
don't dare to tell you what I was going
to do before you spoke.”
“What was it?” queried Nancy, curi¬
ous and conscious.
“It was,” said the doctor, bending his
own face closer to the curl-shaded one at
his own side, “that I wish I had the
right to keep you with me always. Miss
Nancy, will you look at me—will you let
me?”
Nancy turned her face away.
“You do not answer me, Nancy,”
urged the doctor.
Still she remained silent.
The doctor was perplexed. He was
not used to deal with youug ladies who
could not find words to say ay or nay.
If the truth must be told, his greatest
difficulty in hi* flirtations with the softer
sex was to find the measure of their
tongues, and to keep them within the
limits of “becoming mirth” when he
made myriads of them blush by popping
the question in that crafty way which ex¬
presses a great deal and yet means so
very little.

Nancy had taken her hand from the
doctor’s arm and had sat down iii the
window. She heard, mistily, comments
and congratulations; she answered ques-
tions > laughed at jokes. She wmlked
down to the gate with the doctor when lie
left > an<l stood there under the lilacs, his
arm about her, replying to his tender talk;
but when he was gone, leaving a farewell
kiss on her lips, she rushed upstairs, and
threw herself on the bed in a perfect
agony of sobbing that she could hardly
stifle in the pilloiv.
The story of the next week is hack-
neyed. Such happenings are too corn-
mon - Nancy came and went like a ghost
°t herself; but the whole town was
gossiping over her engagement, and
her evidences of trouble ivere ascribed to
“queerness of a girl just engaged.”
01d Mrs - Armitage ran over one after-
noon to ted Evanses that John was
going on Monday, and she hoped he
M r ould manage to call and bid them good-
b y; and cried because her pet son was
g° in g away, aud -was cool and sharp to
Nancy, evidently suspecting that she was
^e cause.
Peshaps light natures suffer most over-
whelmingly. Often in the beautiful
June days Nancy, all alone, in some
shadowy, grassy place, ivith sunbeams
shimmering above, would wonder in a
dim, childish M'ay if she would not “die
when John "went.” Only one hope was
left: John was coming to say good-by.
Oh, if she could only let him know how
it really Mas! But hoM’ could she? and
she ivoald look doM-n despairingly at the
little gold circlet on her finger.
Sunday afternoon John finally came,
Nancy, sitting in the parlor with the
doctor, caught a glimpse of the well-
knoivn figure at the gate under the lilacs
again. For a moment the room -whirled
round aud she was deathly white; then
she , rose mechanically, , . .. saying . that ... she .
must bid Mr Armitage good-by, and
went out to the doorway, where John
was greeting her parents and warding off
the Newfoundland with a laugh.
‘Yes,” he was replying as Nancy
came up, “they say there s a pretty good
chance out there for a young fellow with
health and energy—How do you do, Miss
Nancy?—and I ve always been enter-
prising; so I mean to try it.'
Nancy stood pulling the rose vines in _
pieces while for half an hour the others
talked crops, politics and prospects She
could not have spoken for her life,though
she longed to speak as a condemned
c ™ lal loa gs to asks mercy. Not once
did John turn his obstinate auburn head
to look at or speak to her—and at last he
rose to go. He interrupted himself,
while detailing particulars about grazing
lands, to say “Good-by while he just
touched her hand. If he had looked at
her, the miserable, pathetic look of ap-
peal on her childish face would have goue
straight to his heart. But he did uot
dare to look, and turning away abruptly,
walked down the garden path with the
garrulous old farmer hobbling by his side.
Nancy had just time to escape her
eye by running up the stairs.
She did not faint; but Heaven forbid that
girls should often know such misery as
she suffered then! When she at last
joined the doctor, as in duty bound, the
stunned look on her face M*as pitiful.
“She was not well,” she said, in answer
to his alarmed queries.”

was response, “It's fine to
talk, but you and I know well enough
who's the cause of it all. One word from
you would stop it now if you were ‘sorry’
enough!”
Poor Nancy! The clock was on the
stroke of 11 that night when her lover
(the doctor) finally took his leave, and
she was free to pace the moonlit sitting
room from end to end with set lips and
wide, glittering eyes. She did not cry.
She felt as if she was going crazy, and in
her desperation she did not care if she
did. Hour after hour passed, and still
she paced there, till her rigid face showed
whitelv in the first faint gray of morning.
“Oh, would he go?—could he go?—
would nothing happen to stop him?”
Scarcely knowing \,h*t she was doing
Nancy, hatless, slipped through the door,
and trailing her dainty blue skirt through
the grass ran across the fields, to the
Armitages’.
It was all still, and dark, and dewy.
She heard the town clock strike 3 as she
paused on the outskirts of the old-fash¬
ioned flower-garden behind the house,
and shrank behind a hedge of blossomy
lilacs, whose potent odor sickened her.
Suddenly she saw him for whom she
watched quickly approach the spot, and
he stood with folded arms looking down
at her moment before his amazement
found vent in the exclamation, “Nancy!”
He had nWer seen such utter abandon
and agony of shame as that with which
the poor little maiden hid her face and
cowered in the wet grass, with the cry,
“Oh, what shall I do? Don't speak to
me l Clo away 1” and burst into a storm
of tears.
For answer he gathered the little wet
figure in his arms, smoothed the tum¬
bled curls, tried to warm the icy hands,
and did not dare to question, while he
soothed her in his tendere&t way.
“Take me home,” said Nancy, as soon
as she found strength to speak at all.
“I shall do no such thing,” was the
decided answer, as John’s disengaged
hand lifted her face so that he could see
it, “till you tell me why you came.
Nancy, I couldn’t help hoping a little
when I saw you here. Don’t make me
give it up 1 I thought my pride ivould
support me through anything, but I am
afraid it won’t,” he ended sadly.
“I’m so glad it won’t,” breathed Nan¬
cy, in tones of heartfelt relief. “But
somebody’ll sec us. Take me home,
John, and I’ll tell you all about it.”
How different seemed the way home,
with John at her side. But Nancy was
in no hurry to “tell all about it.” She
only said, nervously, holding John’s
hand in hers: ‘ ‘Promise me you won’t
go away!”
“Ah, but I want another promise
first.”
Nancy looked back at the plumy
hedge, whose shelter they had left, and
said, with a half smile: “You see the
lilacs ain’t out of bloom yet, John, and I
am—sorry, as you said I’d be!”
“And the doctor?” asks the critical
reader.
Ah, Nancy is no model of maiden¬
hood. She is only a faulty young girl,
erring, and loving, and suffering, play¬
ing her part in one of the tragedies that
are played everywhere in the springs and
autumns, in the time of snow-drifts as
well as in the time of lilacs.— New York

Trout at the Mercy of Bass.
The old time anglers who haunt the
shores of Black River, in New York,
along the upper part of its course have
occasion to note the peculiar actions of
the fish that inhabit the stream, and they
have it pretty well settled in their own
minds that, trout and black bass were not
made to live peaceably and harmoniously
in the same waters. A few years ago there
was nothing to excite discussion among
the fisherman. They could start out for
an early morning stroll and come back
before dinner with a handsome string of
trout. There were no other fish to take
the hook, and every foot of the stream
afforded good sport.
About fifteen years ago the Graves
brothers, of Boonville, N. Y., secured
a number of bass from the St.
Lawrence and transferred them alive to
Black River. The stream seems to have
been in every way satisfactory to the fish,
for they have multiplied at a great rate
and are now exceedingly plentiful. The
small colony planted fifteen years has
grown so big that it is now scattered
along the whole length of the stream.
Just as soon as bass began to get into
that part of the stream inhabited by the
trout the anglers noticed that there was
trouble. The trout began to desert their
old haunts and bass took their place.
The two species of fish seemed to have a
natural aversion of each other. Finally
as the bass became more numerous the
fish seemed to come to an agreement to
divide the stream. For two or three
years Jf past the fish have stuck to this way

A Lafldcr Climbing Dog.
Farmer Nicholas Griswold, of Ran-
dom Township, in Pennsylvania,
owns a mongrel dog that has learned to
climb a ladder. No one ever taught him
how, but there mths a cosey hiding place
in a mow of hay, where the boys
wouldn't be apt to look for him. and the
only way to get toil was up a slanting
ladder. How he learned it Farmer Gris-
wold doesn't know, for it is a difficult
thing for a dog to do, but he did learn it,
and when he got tired of playing with
the boys or when anybody whipped him
or treated him in a shabby wav, he slunk
off to the barn, climbed up the ladder
and hid himself in the haymow —Xeic

The Leech Business.
__
Their importations of lato vears have
been between 300,000 and 350,000, oi
which number 100,000 or thereabouts
were re-shipped to South American
ports. The average price at which they
are sold is »35 a thousand, while the re-
tail ... price . for , a leech , , is • fu.in .A ti , os -o i
cents, leaving a protit to the retail dealer
of from nearly 600 to 800 per eeut.
Prior to 1839 there was no regular im-
port trade of European leeches iuto this
tomed to bung them in occasionally in
small quantities on private speculation,
Leeehers were, therefore, obliged to
depend largely on the native leech for
drawing blood, and during the early
part of the century the American species
was m considerable demand. All this
species is quite widen ., , distributed, tho
principal source of supply Eastern appears to
have been, as it is now. len-
nsylvania, and especially Berks and
wi™ n arfim P ™to<l during mo»t of
the year, but only to a slight extent in
Summer, as they are easily killed and by au
excess of heat. June, Julv August
are the months when the smallest
ties are received, and when the greatest
mortality occurs, reaching sometimes 25
per cent. They are imported*packed in
swamp earth, in air and water-tight
wooden cases, holding 1,500 leeches
each. These cases are made rather light
and are about 21 inches long, 15 inches
wide and 13 inches high.
I» shipping leeches to customer, ill
this country, the same cases are used lor
sending large qualities, and tight
wooden ,«U. for tho .mailer quantities,
the packing of swamp earth being also
employed. American leeches, on the
contrary, are kept best in Mater, in
earthen or glass jars, in a cool place,
Although c onsiderable quantities of
leeclies are kept constantly on hand in
the importing houses, Mr. W itte is
obliged to draw on his storage ponds on
Long Island, between Winfield and
Newtown, for supplying large amounts,
and especially for the export trade.—

Aii Arkansas Hermit.
IheTC lives in a wilderness section of
Columbia county, Ark., a hermit. He
has yielded a destructive knife and re¬
volver in half a tcort- of tragedies, and
is constantly on tic alert, expecting to
be assassinated. This man, who has
forfeited the companionship of mankind,
is guarded by animals that are well
trained watchmen, lie has a magic con¬
trol of the biutc creation, and owns six
large goats and an c qual number of
dogs. His lonely cabin stands in the
middle of a fifteen acre field. When he
goes to ploiwng three of the dogs are
placed at each side of the field at his
row’s end. These dogs are trained to
patrol the adjacent forest, and no human
being can these approach without being ex¬
posed by vigilant sentries. At
night the dogs and goats lie about the
cabin—the goats without the yard enclo¬
sure, and the dogs within. When any
human being approaches these goats set
up an unearthly series of bleating. The
dogs within understand the signal and
fush furiously at the intruder. Armed
to the teeth, the proprietor hails the vis¬
itor. If found to he a friend, one word
from the lieimit silences both goats and
dogs, and the guest is invited in. Thus
guarded, this desperate man says he
sleeps more securely than the czar, be¬
cause, unlike the imperial cohorts of the
latter, his faithful sentinels cannot be
bribed or otherwise rendered unsafe by
collusion with their owner’s enemies.
Caimibulism in China.
The steamship City of Pekin, which
recently arrived at San Francisco, brings
tidings of an attempt at cannibalism at
Pao Siian llien, near Shanghai. The
proprietor of a public bath there became
possessed of the notion that to eat a child
would cure him of ah illness from which
he was suffering. From an old woman
he bought a child, which he induced a
coolie to kill. The body was discovered
by the authorities in a large j ir, ready
for cooking. All the persons connected
with the crime were arrested. The vice¬
roy of Fukien and Cheinangk lias issued
“
a proclamation , ,. against . , the . drowning , Of ,
female children which has been com-
mon of ’ate. He notifies families that
hereafterthe penalty provided bylaw
will be strictly enforced. The penalty
is sixty blows of the bamboo aud one
year’s banishment.
