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 Indeed, “Oh, it don’t/ matter wh&t I ’hi^ I don't Chink a’ all. fi. daucr—you won't fiako ,tij ll }i a Which these won Is was such a rosy flush s^HBnds T j round cheek, lialf veile< JlSge that it 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 How they rode in this lazy way. 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. “Come, pet, he urged, this time . tak- .

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 Nancy who proposed that they should go to church that evening. In the comer of the high old p£w , with her veil hiding her fa ce, sh t least be have quiet, been and oneja^Bj ^^would was alone in her pew and cried silently all through the sendee. Nancy’s heart S 1 SSSSSS J°u. “I don't want any of yonr sorrow!” the sharp * 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 World. 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 living *» and their actions in this regard {Qrm interesti & stud ' ^ , L an £ , rW fish the live r down Forest 0 and he will find a stretch of rifts and deep pools where nothing t trou t can be taken.

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 York Tribune. 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.— [New York News. 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.
