SECRET THOUGHTS.
I hold it true that thoughts are things
Endowed with being, breath and wings,
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results or ill.
That which we call our ‘ secret thought”
Speeds to the earth’s remotest spot,
And leaves its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it, as it g 033 .
THE TRAMP.
BY MHOTE T. BRIGHAM.
-Do unto others „ « would
the;, should do to us.”
The short wintry afternoon is drawing
to a close; the wind is chilling, and
there are signs of a snow storm; every
one seems to be housed in the small town
of C_; but just now there may be
seen the figure of a man coming up the
' v
roa q
He stops at Fanner Moses’s gate—stops
and looks about as though "he were
stranger in the lit>le overcoat,* town He wear; a
long and shabby and a slouched
hat drawn low over his forehead. He
leans against the gate as though very wearv.
A small, piping voice, speaking close to
him, startled him from the reverie into
which he seemed to have fallen. The
small voice issued from the lips of a lit-
tie girl of perhaps seven or eight years of
age; a pretty child, with rosy cheeks
and bright black eyes, said eyes being in
strong contrast with the bright lings of
hair, which had escaped from beneath
the little red hood.
The child speaks again as the man
turns and looks at her. "Be you awful
tired, sir?” is what she said.
“Yes, I am, little one; but what
makes you think so?” The man's voice
is strong and kind, if the figure is shab-
by.
“Why, because you act so you was
tired. Why don’t you go home and lay
down and get rested then?”
“Alas! I don’t know that I have any
home, child,” he answered slowly, while
the child looked at him in astonishment.
Suddenly a light dawned on the little
face. “Be you a tramp, sir?” she asked.
“Well, yes, my dear, I suppose I
might be called a tramp in good faith.”
“Be you hungry, sir?” is the next
question; “if you * be, I will get ~ you
something to eat, and I would
let you come j n t 0 n ie
house, and lay down ou the lounge, so
you would get rested, but my mamma is
’fraid of tramps. Oh! halloo, Sarah,
cries the child at this moment, and the
man turns and looks to see who she is
speaking to, and sees that it is a young
lady approaching. She may be twenty-
eight or thirty years of age; a trim, neat
figure, but the features are sharp, and
the bright black eyes look anything but
kindly upon the tramp.
“What are you doing here, Flossy?”
asked the woman. Before the child could
answer, the house-door opened and a man
slipped out; while a woman’s figure was
just discernible behind him in the door-
way; then before anyone had time to
utter a word, the child sprang to her
father's side, exclaiming, “Oh, papa,
he’s so tired and he ain't got any home to
laydown in, and I guess he's hungrv
too.” She whispered this last to her
father: “I asked him but he didn't tell
me; Sarah came just then; can’t he come
in and rest and have something to eat,
*
papa?”
“No, no, John,” said the low timid
voice of John Moses’s wife, “don’t let him
come in; give him something to eat and
let him go.”
“Whv, ' woman,' Flossy,” said the sharp voice
of the whom the child had
called Sarah, “want a tramp to come in
to your house? why of course not. I am
astonished to find vou out here talking
to one. If I had" my way I would put
them all in the penitentiary. Why don't
you tell that person to tramp on, Mr.
Moses? I would not give him anything
to eat;” and she drew her drapery about
her and brushed with scornful mien past
the man who still stood leaning by the
gate.
“Don’t be too hasty, Sarah,” called
John, after her. “I have not been asked
by him yet, and it is always my
custom never to deny before I am
asked.” Flossy had not stopped to hear
Sarah’s harangue, but had rushed past
her mother into the house, and now
came out again with one hand full of
doughnuts,while in the other was a huge
piece of pie. She went directly to 1he
man and held up her offering to him.
He looked at her a minute in silence,
drew his hands across liis eyes, then took
them from her, saying: “Thanks little
one for your kindness to the tramp.”
Then turning to 3Ir. 3Ioses, he said: “I
see it will be of no use for me to ask for
& night's rest in your house, sir?”
The tones of the man's voice impressed
the fanner as they had his child.
“Well, no,” -said honest John, “my
woman is a bit nervous, and strangers put
her out a great deal.
“How far is it to the village?” the
mau asked.
“Four miles to the tavern,” replied
Mr. 3Ioses; “but you might get put up
somewhere on the road.”
“Thank you, sir, I hope I may, for I
am very tired and need rest; good night.
sir.”
“Good night,” returned the famer; and
the tramp passed on. He had not gone
far, when he heard the little voice of
Flossy at his side, “I know who will
take you iu 3Ir.-and let you rest all
night. Granny,” she cried eagerly,
“She lives right there iu that house on
the hill, aud she and Grace will make
you real comfortable. 3Iy Granny and
Grace are the goodest womans * you ever
see.”
“And who is Grace? Grandma's
daughter?”
“Oh, no, she ain't Granny’s girl,
She's Grace Seyton. Her mother died
ever so long ago, when I was a
little girl, I guess, and Granny
made Grace come and lived with
her. She's just awful good all
the time; not one mite like Sarah Bos-
ton. She’s as cross as two sticks, 'cause
she can’t get marrjed. Roy says he's my
big brother, but I don't see why. My
Grace ain't married, and she’s never
cros ^-
“Sarah Boston is . the lady that
came
into the yard while you were speaking to
•'
‘ Aes; but I must go back now. Yon
to Granny s. and she il let you come
“i sure. Good-bye."
“Good-bye, little girl.and ^ manv thanks
fo? . ? our kicdoeS5 to tke P°or tramp:
f ome I aay see__yoa again. Good-
Gear child, and the tramp turned
and went on toward the house cn the hill.
^hlle the child ran swiftly home. Sh6
found her father, mother and Sarah at
the gate waiting for her. When 3Ir.
Hose* entered the house, after Aiddins
the tramp good-night, he found his wife
and Sarah talking about the stranger.
They did not notice the absence of little
Flossy f)r some time. The mother, of
course, was the first to think of her, and
at once exclaimed:
“John, where is Flossy?”
“Sure enough, I thought she came into
the house.”
He opened the door and called, but no
response. “Shouldn’t wonder one .mite
if ahe had gone a piece -with that man.”
“Oh, John,go quick 1” and the mother
ran past her husband down to the gate,
but he was there beside her instantly,

them with glowing up

statement comcerning the tramp being
told to go to grandma's for rest. Her
father laughed and said: “Well, Flossy,

after supper. I have not a doubt but my
mother will take him in, and it will not
be the first one, either. She has an idea

Miss Boston, who was running away,
“^o, I am on my way to the mission

there is a lot to do at the meeting to-
ui S ht ‘» 3' ou had better join our circle, Mr.
Closes, and assist us in our efforts for
helping the poor heathen.” •
“Well, Sarah, I ain’t quite ready for
that,” John replied; “there are quite a
lot of suffering poor in our own country
that I must try to help first.”
“Good-night, Mrs. 3Ioses,” said Sarah,
completely ignoring John, who laughed
good naturedly as he passed into the
house with Flossy. Those two, John
and Sarah, never got on well together,
As Flossy and her father entered at one
door, Itoy, the oldest child of John and
Ruth Moses, came into the house by
mother. Two bright boys had been laid
at rest iu tbe old church-yard. “Well,
Ro .V’ said his father, “I don’t know but
ou wil1 have to g° U P and sta y
grandma to-night.”
“Why, father?” asked the young man.

was there, “very well, I will go if he is
there,” said Roy. “Did Sarah call here
to-night?” “Yes, she did,” exclaimed
Floss y> “and she scolded that poor man.”
“ Yes > she got quite excited over the
tramp, ’ said Mr. Moses,
“I met her,” said Roy. “Report has
it: that ske is after that missionary now,
aud if she manages to catch him he’ll

poor am
P er over and chores done up, Flossy and
her father made preparations for a call on
grandma,
We will precede them, reader, and see
how the tramp was received.
As he neared the low-roofed farm house,
he drew the slouched hat lower over his
forehead, then stepped up and rapped
upon the door. It was opened almost im-
mediately by one who must have been
Fiossy’s Grace Seyton; a slight figure,
with goodness written in every feature of
the expressive face; dark hazel eyes and
wavy golden brown hair. The tramp
asked if she would let him come iu and
rest a while as lie was very tired. A voice
spoke from the inner room: “Yes, Grace,
yes, let the stranger come in.”
Grace opened the door and the man
stepped in. An old lady of about seventy
summers sat in a large armchair knitting.
I say summers, for it did not seem as if
that fair and placid face had ever wit-
nessed the rough storms and blasts of
cold dreary winter. “Take a seat by
the fire, sir; it is growing colder, and I
fear we may have a storm before morning;
have you much further to go, stranger?”
“I was thinking of reaching the tavern,
madam,” theman replied, “I inquired of
a man who told me that it was four miles
to the village. It seems a long and cold
walk. Do you think to-day that you
could keep me all night; I really dread
to go out in the storm and cold again.”
“Weil, sir,” replied 3Irs. 3Ioses, “I
have never turned the stranger from my
door. We are two women here alone,
Grace and I, and if I let you stay all
night, I trust the good Lord will care for
His own. For the sake of my son, my
boy, who has been wandering these six
long years, I do to others as I would
have others do for him.’’
“You have a son, madam, out in the
world. How could he leave his home, and
such a mother, for so long a time; he
must bean ungrateful, undutiful son.
“3Iy Wiliie will come someday, and
then Ishall know all about it; we will
not discuss the matter,” said the old
lady, with dignity. Then turning to
Grace, she said: “Now, dear, we will
have some supper; I dare say the man is
hungry.
As Grace disappeared ^ down the cellar
stairs on hospitable thoughts intent, 3Irs.
3Ioses again addressed the stranger. a
“Will you please take your hat off.
sir? I always like to see who I am talk-
mg to.
The stranger arose, threw off the old
coat and slouched hat and stood re-
vealed a tall, handsome and well dressed
man; the kindly blue eyes beaming with
love and tenderness upon the old lady,
Mrs. 3Ioses's hands released their hold of
the stocking which she was forming. It
fell to the floor unheeded save by the
kitten, who in less than two minutes
was perfectly wound up in yarn, stocking
and knitting needles, while the kitten’s
mistress tottered forward, crying out,
“Is it possible, can it be my son, my
Willie?'
The stranger received her in his arms.
murmuring: “3Iy mother, yes it is your
Wiliie, come back to your faithful heart
at last.’ Grace Seyton, hearing the
commotion hurried from the cellar* drojK
ping meat, doughnuts, bread and pie,
which she had been collecting for the
tramp’s supper, all in a heap "together.

me, asked Sirs. Moses.
Iu reply he told her of his
conversation with little Flossy and
her father, and of the child’s* eager
desire that he should go to her granny’s
to get rested.
“Blessed child,” said the grandmother,
“sh ■ has been a great consolation to me

The child gazed in surprise at the nice
looking gentleman who was seated be-
side her granny. Her father was quite
as much surprised as the child. For the
space of one minute no one spoke- but
presentlv, a joyful light of recognition amfke
passed over John Moses’s face, ex-
claimed: “William, my brother! Can it

It again
or ne moment. was some little time
before qutet was restored. During this
time Flossy stood bewildered; even Grace
had not thought of her. It was Uncic
William who went to her and taking her
in his strong arms, untied and removed
her hood, the warm cloak and little red
mittens, explaining at the same time who
he was, aud showing her the old shabbv

she was not going to love him too, as
well as grandma and Grace, she answered
him by putting her arms about his neck
and giving him a hearty kiss.
They all laughed as her father exclaimed:
“I guess that settles the question. Now',
Will, old fellow, where have vou * been
all this time?”
“It is a long story, John, but I will
try to make everything clear to you.”
We will not try,reader,to tell his story
in full, but let it suffice to say that he
had met with misfortune the first foui
years of his stay abroad; he had grown
tired of trying to grow rich farming,
and had gone to the gold mines to make
a fortune, and there fortune favored him;
but the letters to aud from home were
miscarried, and the yearning for home and
mother became so great that he
could stay no longer, and, as we have
seen, returned home. Toward spring oi
the same year a noble house was erected
near the old one in which Mrs. Moses
lived; great pains were taken with its
finishing and furnishing. A large sunny
room was reserved for Grandma Moses;
sweet Grace Seyton became ita
beloved mistress, loved by her
husband for her own self aud also for her
goodness to his mother while she was
comparatively alone; loved by little Flossy
and we may say by everyone excepting
Sarah Boston, who was very much cha¬
grined when she learned that the man
whom she had treated so scornfully was
none other than William Moses, rich and
handsome. Sarah knew that in the olden
time she had some influence with
handsome Will; so after his return she
decided to leave the missionary to his fate,
and the poor heathen, and try her arts on
William 3foses. Her disappointment
was great when she learned that Grace
was ke m istress of the new house,
4 ‘Marry that chit of a girl,” she said in
ker sharpest tones to Mrs. John 3Ioses.
(John wasn t anywhere round) “Why he
°^ d enou gh to be her father.”
“Oh, no,”3Irs. 3Iosesreturned, “there
Is . but ten years difference in their ages,
^d I never saw a happier couple.”
She spoke truly, they were very happy.
Grandma 3Ioses was happy, too, and
little Flossy was happy every day by some
P^sent or attention from Lncle 3VilJ,
wko almost worshiped the little girl, and
ske returned his love with interest,

Revival of Sailing Ships.
A revival in the building of fineclippei
snips and very large schooners for fast
sailing appears to be at hand. Shipping
men say that the cheap carrying trade of
the next fewyears will be by four-masted
schooners. There seems to be a general
impression among shipping men that sail-
vessels last longer than vessels propelled
by steam, and being less expensive to run,
need but sufficiently fine lines and a pro-
portionate amount of sail to make exeel-
lent Several”large voyages.
schooners of this class are
now being built by New York merchants
and persons who have capital to invest in
shipping. They are to be fitted with en-
gines run by steam to do much of the
hard work about the decks, and do away
with the necessity of carrying large crews.
Along South street, with their huge
jibbooms pointing nearly half way across
the street, can be seen at almost any
time a score or more clipper ships that
have made many remarkable voyages. A
shipping merchant, in speaking of them
yesterday, said:
“Here are a dozen big ships that have
been sailing for twenty years; yes, and
some of them for thirty years and more,
yet they are to-day almost as good as the
the year they made their first trip around
the Horn. Where is there a steamship
that has been running tea years aud can
still make as good a voyage as she made
when one year old .”—Here York Commer-

Mothers Should Care for a Child’s Eyes, j j
Dr. Webster Fox, in tho journal of the j
Franklin Institute, maintains that the! I
majority of blind people have lost their
sight from want of proper care during
infancy, and that nurses or mothers who
heedlessly expose an infant's eyes to the
glare of the sun for hours, may be laying
.
the foundation for the most serious evils j

crops have been found to be too small,
an j the total is now estimated at from
485,000,000 to 500,000.000 bushels. One
journal which lias given careful atten-
tion to the subject believes that the
harvest will amount to 498,000,000
bushels (333,000,000 winter and 165,~
000,000 spring wheat), as 1887-’88 compared and with with

Women Who Buy Men’s Hate.
“It is not perhaps just the thing in
point of good manners and social eti¬
quette to allow a woman to wait while
you attend to the wants of a man,” said
a local hat dealer the other day. “ But
when a woman comes in to buy a hat for
a child of one of the late ‘man’s st aw
hat fad ’ and a masculine comes iu be¬
hind her we always wait on him fi st.
Why ? Well, for various reasons. The
man as a rule buys a hat costing him all
the way from 83.25 to §5, while the
woman seldom wants more than $2 worth
of a hat. Then again it is easier and
m«e satis 'actory to try to sell hats to a
dozen men than try to get a woman to
invest 8L75 in a straw hat for herself
or 75 cents in head-gear in with for a child.
They will come one or two
friends, ” continued the loquacious
dealer, “ and try on about every hat in
the store before they decide to take the
first they looked at, or decide to go else¬
where. Then, after the imagine they
have se’ected the best and most becom¬
ing style, and they are generally very
sure to do that, they put it down and
take up another with, * Now, Julia, I

follows an animated discussion, broken
by various lapses into comments on out¬
side matters till the hat clerk begins to
grow dizzy. He has not been used to
that soft of thing, poor fellow, till within
the last two seasons, and it wears on
him. The woman about to purchase a
hat for Johnnie is a bother, but she does
not become such an unmitigated nuis¬
ance as the woman buying a hat men’s for her¬
self. I hope the rage tor liats
among the fair sex will soon disappear.
I do not wonder that constantly dry goods clerks
and those who have to min¬
ister to a woman’s vagaries are bald-

Voluntary Seavengera.
The city of Omaha, Nebraska, has in
its service a force of thousands of scav-
enetrs who draw no pay, report to no
official, but are protected hy law from
molestation. They are the crows, who
fleck into town as soon as cold weather
conns, stay during the winter, and van¬
ish in the spring. Collecting in small
groups, they alight here and there on
the tree tops and survey the back yards
and alleys until they can pick out forag¬
ing places. Then they descend, and in
short order the remains fr. m breakfasts,
the scraps of meat form markets, and the
rats killed by household dogs and rats,
are gobbled up. Some crows do scav¬
enger work about the residences. Oth¬
ers alight cautiously in the alleys, and
others are attracted to the stock yard*
and packing houses. •
