And the noon was like the nain Vv hen cheer is cold on the hearth, And the noises, dulled by the rain. Hung low to the earth. Dutnow, as if one came out f" rom the western seas and waved Onset, with gcsturean l shout, Till his fleet was saved,— Bo came a wind from the sun And broke the hurrying rack, And the blest light was won, And the blue came back. An ! the rainless clou is in the west Lay whitelike the griefs we love; And soft as a sorrow at rest W as the blue above. Harrison S. Morris, in Lippincott. A DOWBY OF HERRING, T was the 20th of J) January,1795. The . 'l French army had <l W entered and the Amsterdam soldiers waited iu groups in the square where they had stacked their guns tohavc their lodgings as¬ .m 1 y signed the Notwithstandi inclemency them. n g of the weather the in¬ habitants had left their houses and this were liberating collecting in the streets to welcome army. The greatest en¬ thusiasm reigned in the city, and in the evening every house was illuminated. Neai the Admiralty, however, stood one house whose dark aud silent aspect coi itrasted strangely with the brilliant exterior of its neighbors, A narrow courtyard inclosed in a high wall, with a poite cochcre intervened between the street and the house, and all the doors and blinds were now closely secured. Ibi s "as the house of Master Woerden. Master Woerden was a rich Dutch merchant. Entirely taken up with his commercial allairs, he was totally indif¬ ferent to the political events which so interested his countrymen, besides which he too thoroughly understood domestic economy to waste candles after the prod¬ igal fashion of his neighbors. At this moment Master Woerden was seated in a comfortable armchair in front of a blazing fire. Ilis fur bordered robe was folded across his chest, and his wolf skin cap was pressed down upon liis brow whose few scattered gray hairs of¬ fered no protection from the sharp cur- rents of frosty air that found entrance at every opening of the door. On a table near him stood a polished brass lamp, a large pitcher and a clay pipe. In the chimney corner au old ser¬ vant, whose extreme embonpoint be¬ trayed her Flemish origin, occupied her- sell with occasionally stirring and feed¬ ing the open fire. Presently the doorbell rang aud the servant, rose quickly to answer it. A few moments later a young man entered, who threw his cloak on the sofa aud ap- proached the old man. “Is it you, William!” exclaimed Mas¬ ter Woerden. “I had not expected you so early !” “1 left Block this morning,” he re¬ plied, with a respectable salutation, “but the roads are so cumbered with soldiers and fugitives that it has taken me all dav to get there.” “Did you see Van Elberg?” The young man sat down by the fire before “Yes, answering sir!” this question." he said slowly. “Master \ ^ an Elberg consents to the marriage, but be refuses to give his daughter more than 4000 ducats as her dowry.” “Ah! cried Master Woerden, frown¬ ing heavily, “then he may keep both his daughter and her dowry. = “But, father, let me— s “Hold your tongue, William. At your age one would sacrifice everything to love, but let uie tell you love fades away, while money remaius.” “But Master Van Elberg is one of the richest merchants in Holland, and what he will not give his daughter in his life¬ time will surely come to her at his death. ” “What then? Am not I as rich as he? Listen to me, my son. You will one day succeed me in my business. Re- member then these two axioms—never give more than vou receive, and do noth- ing for the sole benefit of others. Tnese are good rules for marriage as well as commerce.” “ for “But—” “Let the matter rest, my son. We will not speak further of it now.” William knew the self-willed obstinacy of his father too well to reply, and sat still in great sorrow and perplexity, while the old man calmly smoked his pipe. Again the doorbell rang, and the dogs in the courtyard began to bark furiously. “Ah!” said Master Woerden, “it must , I be some stranger. Lookout of tWi,. dow, William, and see who it is." j The joung man did so, sajiagtatones ! of sunrise • j “It is a mounted militiaman, father!” ! Presently the old servant brought in a j letter, which Master Woerden received i ? with an air of great disquietude; but on tearing fingers his open face the assumed envelope its with wonted impatient I j ex- pression of serenity as he read the iu- j closure. “That is well I” he said, as he handed ; the letter to his son. It was a requisition from the Govern- roent for 400,000 herrings to be deliv- ered within a month for the use of the French army. “William!” exclaimed the old man, after a moment’s reflection. “I have an idea! You shall marry Van Elberg’s daughter, and she shall have a good dowry, too.” “Can it be possible?” “Leave it to me.

Ahl my son! if you only inherit your father’s genius!” The next morning the nging sun saw the two travelers on their way to Broek. They arrived about midday, but where obliged to leave their horse* at an inn outside the village, as neither horses nor carriages were permitted to enter its streets. Broek enjoys in Holland an en- traordinary reputation for neatness. The streets are paved with polished stones in different colors, which are arranged in Mosaic designs. In front of each house is a space reserved for the use of its in¬ habitants, which is inclosed by an iron railing with bright ornaments of brass and furnished with settees of carved wood. So great is the mania for cleanli- ness that a withered leaf cannot fall in one of those elegant parquets without the family's rushing out in the utmost haste to remove it. When Master Woerden and his son arrived with snowladen shoes, manv covert glances of indignation followed their progress towards Master Van El- berg’s house; but as they were at once well known and greatly respected, no open remonstrance was made. On reach- ing their destination, however, the ser- vant met them at the door with slippers in hand that they might leave their heavy shoes outside. When the travelers entered the parlor, not only Master Van Elberg but his charming daughter also received them with much cordiality. Clotilda wore the costume of her coun¬ try. The short, full skirt, richly deco¬ rated with embroidery, the velvet bodice and the dainty cap with its border of lace, the gold band across her dark hair, and the heavy gold earrings thickly set with jewels, made a picturesque garb that daintily set off her fair, placid feat¬ ures. “Good morning, Master Woerden!” cried Van Elberg, as he held out his hand cheerily to his visitor, “You are welcome. Have the French scared you aw¬ ay from Amsterdam?” They have not troubled me in the least,” replied Woerden. “You know I care as little for the French as for the Prince of Orange. Politics never inter¬ est me. I come to propose a good specu¬ lation." “That is welll What is it?” returned Van Elberg. “I have engaged to deliver 400,000 herrings in a month. Can you furnish them to me in three weeks?” “At what price?” “Ten florins a thousand,” “Ten florins? Yes! I will undertake to supply them.” “Good!” returned Woerden, rubbing his hands together contentedly, as the dining-room door was now open, display¬ ing the plentiful breakfast which awaited them. After partaking liberally of the good things before him, for the long ride had sharpened his appetite, Master Woerden glanced significantly at the yonng girl, who shyly turned her eyes away from him as tie began to discuss the question of the young folks’ marriage. Finding his host firmly insisting on giving his daughter only the dowry he had before fixed, Master Woerden made but a feigned remonstrance to these terms, and In the end conceded the disputed point. It was then decided that the marriage should take place in eight days. As they returned to Amsterdira the next day, William ventured to ask his father why he had thus agreed to Master Van Elberg’s terms. “My son,” replied Marter Woerden gravely, “do not disturb me about tri¬ fles. This contract for herrings is a serious matter and requires all mv thoughts.” Once more in his own house, Master Woerden shut himself up for hours in his own room, and when he at length came forth he gave bis servant a large package of letters to mail. Three days later the old nun. with his wrinkled lace alight with triumph, whispered to his son: “Ah, William, I have your dowry all ready for you.” On the appointed day for the wed ling Master Woerden and his son returned to Broek. This time they were received with great ceremouy. The wide fold¬ ing doors that are only opened for chris¬ tenings, weddings and funerals were drawn apart and a large party of friends and relatives were assembled.

You will one day leave your daughter a large fortune, and I shall do as much for my son. That is all very well for the future, but for to-day they are not on equal terms. I shall give my son a share in ray business, but you give your daughter only 4000 ducats. I have not wished to disappoint our children’s hopes, but I have planned to compel you to be more just in your arrangements.” While Master Woerden thus spoke his com bewildered. paniou was becoming more aud more “This is what I have done,” continued the merchant of Amsterdan; “you have engaged to sell ms these herrings at ten florins a thousand, but I already have them. You can only retrieve your honor by buying them from me. I will sell them to you for fifty florins a thousand, Thus,you will pay me 16,01)0 florins,and we are quits. ” “It is well,” replied Van Elberg, who had now regained control of his scattered w * t ' 3, “You are a skilful merchant and h» ve caught me finely.” H e bowed ceremoniously to his cora- P aQ ion, turned to his desk and drew up a check for the required sum. which he handed to Master Woerden with another bow. The two fathers then returned to the parlor to take part in the wedding festivi¬ ties. Eight days later the merchant of Broek came to visit his daughter, who now lived with her husband at Amsterdam. He found Master Woerden in great tribu¬ lation. “Ah, friend Van Elberg!” he cried in despair, “What shall I do? The fis’ner- men are bringing in my herrings, and I cannot find a single cask to pack them in. They will all be spoiled .*» “Ah,” returned Van Elberg coldly. “You bought up all the herring and I have bought all the casks. I could sell them to you at au exhorbitant price, but as I wish to keep ray word about giving my daughter her dowery of 4009 ducat3. I will only charge you the amount you so skilfully made out of me in the other matter. You are very cun¬ ning, you merchants of Amsterdam, but we of Broek have positive genius, you see.” “But you got the idea from me!” re¬ sponded Master Woerden proudly.— Translated from the French for Romance. The Dynograph Car. The dynograph car has started from the Grand Central Station on is annual inspection trip over the New York Cen¬ tral Road. This car is the invention and property of P. H. Dudley, and it makes semi-annual trips over three or four Eastern railroads to ascertain and record on paper the exact condition of the rails and roadbed. The car, which is forty feet long, was built expressly for Mr. Dudley, and it is the home of him¬ self and wife, as well as his workshop. It represents, in its present state of effi¬ ciency, the study and devolment of twen¬ ty years. Mr. Dudley has perfected an ingenious electrical instrument which by a system of little glass tubes filled with ink and tapering to tine penlike points will trace on paper as the car moves along at any rate of speed everything that it is desir¬ able to know about the condition of the roadbed. The paper used i3 about tweuty-feur inches wide and it passes from one roller to another, both the rollers moving in connection with the wheels of the car. A strip of this paper eight feet long is used to each mile trav¬ ersed, and the points of the little glass tubes mark on the paper the alignment of each rail, the degree of curvature as well as the elevation of each curve, the speed at which the car is moving, and the condition of the surface of the rail. Every variation of onesixteenth of an inch and over is recorded. Connected with the registering and tracing instrument in the car is a con¬ trivance which automatically ejects a drop of blue paint upon each joint in the track, where the end of one rail is one- sixteenth of an inch or more out of gear. At the end of a trip the exact number of such faulty spots is found recorded on a slip of paper. Trackmen are sent out on the various sections after the car has passed and the loose joints marked by the blue paint are properly adjusted. Mr. Dudley has fitted up very com¬ fortable quarters in his car for his wife and himself, including a well-equipped kitchen, library, and sitting room, in which Mrs. Dudley ha3 her piano. Mr. Dudley is an Ohio man, but is well known here and elsewhere as a scientific student. He is a member of the Acai- emy of Sciences and is Vice-President of the American Microscopical Society. His dynograph car is of much service to the railroads on which he operates it.~- Xew York Times. Heroic Treatment, When we were in one of the canal locks, one I remember served by a boy and an idiot, I was told that these places are sometimes called “Doctor Lock,” and for this reason: Boat horses not unseldom dislocate their shoulders; and no wonder, such light shoulders as one sees towing such heavy ioads! In such cases some boatmen take the poor beast to the side of the lock and unceremoni¬ ously tumbles him in. Tne water being deep, he, of course, swims for his life, and the motion often restores the shoul¬ der to place. “But if it does Rot?” I asked. “Cnuck him in again,” was the an¬ swer.—The Cbautauquan.

So S*y the Jury in the Alice Mitchell Murder Case. A Memphis, Tenn., dispatch says: A large crowd was in attendance at the criminal court Saturday, it being an¬ nounced that Judge Du Bose would de¬ liver the charge to the jury in the famous Alice Mitchell case, murderess of Freda Ward. The defendant appearc i calm and collected during the reading of th* charge, the time occupied in its delivery being fifteen minutes; the question of sanity or insanity of the prisoner at the time of the trial being the only question considered. The jury retired at 9:30 and at 9:50 o’clock filed into the court¬ room with the following verdict: “We, the jury, find the defendant, Alice Mitchell, insane, aud believe it would endanger the safety of the com¬ munity to set her at Liberty.” Alice Mitchell was then remanded to the custody of the sheriff, ami will he ordered placed in an insane asylum. Should she be released as sane at any time she can then be placed upon trial on the charge of murder, as she was only tried as to her mental soundness or un¬ soundness at the time of her trial, the question as to her mental condition at the time of the commission of the homicide not being touched upon during her trial, now concluded. When the verdict was read by the clerk a faint smile spread over the defendants’ features as if she had been confident of the jury’s verdict throughout the entire trial. She was iaken to jail, gayly chat¬ ting as she went, and will be sent thenoe to one of the state insane asylums. COLUMBUS DAY. Great Interest Taken in the Approach¬ ing Celebration.
