the day>s work,
Do thy day’s work, my dear,
Though fast and dark the clouds are drift¬
ing near,
Though time has little left for hope and very
much for fear.
Do thy day’s work, though now
I ho hand niu4 falter aud tho head must
bow,
And far above fho falling foot shows the
bold mountain brow.
Yet there is left us,
Who on the valley’s verge stand trembling
thus,
A light that lies far in the west—soft, faint,
Lut luminous.
We can give kindly speech,
And ready, helping hands to all and each,
Aud patience, to tbe young around, by
smiling silence teach.
We can give gentle thought,
And charity, by life’s long les-ons taught,
AVI wisdom, from old faults lived down, by
toil and failure wrought.
W quean give love unmarred
By selfish snatch of happiness, unjarred
By the keen arms of power or joy that make
you cold and hard.
And if gay hearts reject
'Ihe gifts we hold—would fain fare on un-
chocked
On the bright roads that scarcely yield all
that young eyes expect—
Why, do thy day’s work still,
The calm, deep founts of love are slow to
chili;
And heaven may yet the h irvest yield, the
work-worn hands to fill.

THE STORY OF A SCAR.

hangs a tale, and
rather a long one.
It was years ago,

f[fo : V 07/ WS, that shudder. night without

yV’/h [ftfill parents Y° u died know when my
I was quite young,
and after leaving school mv time used to
be divided between Uncle Tom’s house
in the city and Aunt Lizzie’s in the
country. I was always with Aunt
Lizzie in the summer, and it was while
ou a visit to her that it happened.
She lived quite in the mountains, on a
large farm two miles from the railway
station, and at least twenty from town.
The country was thinly settled, the farms
all being large, with few exceptions, and
wo had no near neighbors besides the
tenants on the place. My aunt, an
elderly woman in delicate health, made
no attempt to keep up anything except
the garden aud the grounds around the
house; she kept only two regular ser-
vants, a girl, the daughter of one of the
colored tenants, who went home every
night, and a half-grown boy who slept
in au outhouse.
The house was an old-fashioned brick
one with a basement, and consisted of a
ball, entered from a small front porch, a
room on either side, and an ell with two
rooms running back flora it and opening
upon a large back porch. Upstairs the
sumo arrangement was repeated; my
room was the front room upstairs over
the parlor, while my aunt’s was down-
stairs in the ell, with a small, enclosed
stairway running from it into the room
above, iu which her son, mv cousin
James, generally slept. But at the time
of which I speak James had been away
for a week, aud was not expected back
for several days, so that at night there
was no one iu the house but my aunt and
myself. Neither of us was timid, aud
such a thing as robbery was so unheard
of that very irequentlv the back doors
were not even fastened by night, and nc
one ever thought of putting away the
silver spoons and forks, nor the old sil-
ver teapot when night came. Coming
from the city, as I did, it seemed to me
rather careless, lor 1 knew how careful
Uncle Tom’s wife was about her silver
iu town; but Aunt L zzie would laugh
and say:
“Oh, child, there is no danger!” And
as nothing ever seemed to happen I be-
g&u to thiuk she was right, although my
door was always bolted at night aud 1
saw that the. trout door was fastened.
Uncle had seut me a check several
days before the day of which I am going
to tell you, and although not for a verv
large amount, it was larger than usual,
for I was going to pay a visit to some
friends iu L. before going back home.
Ou that never-to-be-forgotten day I
rode over to the station to get my check
cashed, lor I needed some ready money
before going away. The postmaster and
ticket agent was a sort of genera:
factotum, and kept a store of general
merchandise, as well as attending to his
other business. He always cashed my
checks tor me, and did so ou that day as
usual. As he counted out the money on
the counter, a rnosc ill-favored man
walked into tbe store, and I noticed his
eyes dwell particularly ou the money,
and on the diamond rings whicn sparkled
on the fingers ol my ungloved hand, my
glove having been drawn oil to indorse
the check. I he rings were my mother s.
I have always worn them, and still do
so.
I put the money carefully inside im
habit, and mounting my horse, rode off
without thinking again of the man, and
probally would never have given him
another thought if, just as we rose from
the dinner table, a tramp had not walked
in at the front gate and that tramp
proved to be the mau I had seen at the
station. I wondered how it had hap-
pened that he had taken to the highway
instead of the railway track, but said
nothing as I obeyed auntie’s injunction
to give him some dinner. Aunt had a
prefound sympathy for any one who
might be hungry aud had had too little
sxperience with tramps to be anything

but benign and charitable where they
were concerned.
I had an uneasy consciousness that
the man had seen my money, and wished
it had been otherwise, but he proved
quite inoffensive, notwithstanding his
looks, and after thanking me politely
enough for his dinner, walked off up the
road. Consequently by night I had for¬
gotten all about the matter, though I did
take care to see that the back door was
fastened as well as the front, which half
the time was forgotten.
You must remember that fastening
that back door shut me off entirely from
the rest of the house, as auntie’s room
was in the ell opening on the porch
downstairs, while mine was upstairs in
front.
I undressed, went to bed, and slept
quietly until some time in the night,
when 1 was awakened by the furious
yelping of “Frisk,” a little black and
tan terrier, which was in the habit of
stealingly slyly under the sofa in the
hall downstairs, before the door was
shut, in order to spend the night on it
when all was quiet; I had forgotten to
look for him, and had fastened him in.
Then I heard voices outside of my door,
men’s voices, and some one said:
“Confound that cur! he would raise
the dead; the girl must be awake.”
The head of my bed was just at the
door, and I heard distinctly. I sat up
in bed, instantly, my heart beating
loudly, so loudly, that it seemed to me
I could hear it, for the unexpected had
happened, and these were certainly
burglars. My first thought was for
something to p ut against the door, but
there was nothing I could move except
a small table full of books, which was
on the other side of the door from the
bed. I knew it would not be much
hindrance, but concluded that the over¬
turning of the table and the books, in
case the door was opened, might em¬
barrass and delay them for a few min¬
utes; being top heavy, it w r as certain to
overturn if pressed against.
The knob was turned as I moved it,
and the door shaken heavily from the
outside.
“Open the door,” said a rough voice,
“or I’ll kick it down,"suitingthe action
to the word by a vigorous kick.
Another voice said:
“Hand out that money and them
diamonds, little gal, and we won’t hurt
you.”
How my courage was screwed up I
don’t know, for I was too frightened to
speak, but I remembered a little pistol
which had been given me, and which,
being very pretty, I kept lying on my
bureau, it wa3 so small as to be almost
a toy, but it carried one good-sized
cartridge. I knew where to put my
hand on it in tho dark and seizing it, 1
placed it agaiust the ^door panel, just
where the voice seemed*to be, and fired.
There was a loud oath and a cry, and
a voice exclaimed;
“The little vixen has hit me! jnst
let me get at her aud I’ll twist her
neck,” while the kicking and shaking
were renewed so violently that I knew
the door could not possibly hold out
many minutes. I did not wait for it to
burst open, but rushed to the front win¬
dow, and threw open the blinds; the
night was a bright moonlight one, and
looking out I could see that one blind ot
the parlor window below was open, and
the top not so far below that ray foot
could not reach it while holding to tho
window sill above.
I swung myself out, holding on to my
own blind as I did so, and after several
efforts steadied myself on the lower
blind, I dared not let go, but swung
there for a moment, sick and dizzy.
Then I saw that the edge of the roof
over the porch was not over two feet
beyond the edge of the blind when wide
open, aud up the side of the porch were
stout, wooden strips, nailed across to
support a honeysuckle, which ha l been
growing there so many years that its
stem was almost a3 large as that of a
small tree.
I don’t know how I ever did it; in
the day time, and in cold blood, it would
have been impossible for me to do it
again, but I managed to catch the
turned-up edge of the tiu gutter around
the porch, and swing myself so that my
feet caught on one of the supports to the
honeysuckle, aud, step by step, managed
to clamber down. As the ground was
reached there was a crash upstairs, the
vloor having given way, and, with it,
down came the table and books,
I waited to hear no more, but. half
crazed with fright, flew across the lawn
towards the side fence, a few yards be-
vend which stood the house of one of
the tenants. In order to get to it I had
to leave the shelter of the trees and come
out into the bright moonlight, ray white
night-dress making me conspicuous as I
did so.
There were two windows to my room,
one ou the side as well as one in front,
aad j heard a voice sav from tbe side
“There she goes; shoot her down
before she rouses the country on us.”
There was the sound of a shot, and I
felt something like a cut on my arm,
which, all at once, became wet. I did
not realize that I was shot, but rushed
on over the grass in my bare feet, turnbl-
iug over the fence in some sort of
fashion, aud tiaaliy falling against the
window of the tenant’s house I cried
with all my strength:
“Oh, Mr. Jones! save me, save me!”
Fortunately the house was iow to the
ground, and the windows within easy
reach, and I fell with such force against
the bedroom window that a pane of glass
was broken and both Mr. and Mrs. Jones
awakened.
I remember nothing more until I
woke to find myself on the lounge in
Mrs. Jones’s room, while she stood by
: ue bathing my bleeding arm. Mr. Jones
had roused his three sons, and, seizing
their shot-guns—always kept on hand
for game—they had called the dogs and
i^one after my two burglars. The moon-
light and the dogs had enabled them to
keep close on their track, and I had the
satisfaction of hearing next morning that
they had been caught, tied hand and
foot aud guarded safe to the county jail,
They had taken nothing from my

room, having been too uneasy about
their own Bafety to linger after they
found I had escaped. I had shot the
man I had seen that day in the shoulder,
and he was soma weeks in getting well.
The papers made a great ado about my
“heroic conduct,” as they weia pleased
to term it, and said a good many nice
things about me. When my arm got
well I had to be present at the trial of
the men to testify against them, and had
the satisfaction of hearing them sen¬
tenced to ten years in the penitentiary.
The man I had seen at the station—
the only one I had seen at all in fact, for
the others had only been heard—looked
at me revengefully when he heard the
sentence, and drew one finger slowly
across his throat, as much as to say:
“I’ll cut your throat yet!”
He had been the principal in the affair,
had inquired about me at the station on
seeing the money, and had made the
house boy point out my room when he
got his dinner. All this came out at the
trial.
But perhaps what I have yet to tell is
the most serious part of the affair after
all:
When old Dr. Thomas was sent for to
dress my wounded arm, he happened to
be away, and his young assistant had to
come in his stead, as the case would ad¬
mit of no delay. I don’t know how it
came about, but his visits kept getting
longer as I grow better, and after my
horrid burglar had drawn his finger so
meaningly across his throat, I came to
the conclusion it was not good for man
to live alone—nor woman either. You
can guess the rest, as you know my hus¬
band is a doctor.—Yankee Blade.
Extraction of Perfumes.
Six methods of extracting perfurae3
are known: The first is expression, by
means of a special press, which is appli¬
cable without too great I 033 to fruit-
skins rich in essential oils, such as orange
and citron peel, previously grated. An¬
other method is that of distillation,
which consists in heating flowers with
water in a boiler. The essential oil is
volatilized and is condensed with tho
vapor of water in a worm and a Floren¬
tine receiver. The water usually goes to
the bottom aud the oil floats. The oils
ot neroli, rose, patchouli, geranium, lav¬
ender, caraway, etc., are obtained in
this way. The process is not applica¬
ble to the delicate perfumes of the mig¬
nonette and tho violet; and for them re¬
course is had to maceration of the
flowers in animal fats or mineral oils,
winch have the property of absorbing
odorous substances, and are then washed
in alcohol. The flowers are usually
heated iu the fat or the oil for a variable
number of hours. For perfumes which
can not endure a high temperature the
petals are placed between two frames of
glass coated with fat. This is the pro¬
cess of enfleurage. The pneumatic pro¬
cess, which consists in causing a current
of perfumed air or carbonic acid to be
absorbed by coatings of lard ou glass
plates, appears not to have given satis¬
factory results. Another process 'con¬
sists in dissolving perfumes in very vola¬
tile liquids like sulphuret of carbon,
chloroform, naphtha, ether, or chloride
of methyl, aud volatilizing the solvents,
which can be done at a low temperature
in a vacuum. The last method ha3
given very satisfactory results in the ex¬
treme delicacy aud great accuracy of its
returns.—Popular Science Monthly.
Tlie Way Opium is Gathered.
When the land has been prepared, the
seed sown broadcast, aud covered by
the use of a drag, the fleld is laid off
into small beds about ten feet in width,
irrigated by little water channels. The
plants are carefully tended, and when in
bloom the petals gleam like silver.
These are not allowed to fall off, but are
picked one by one and dried by the
women and children of the cultivator’s
families and then used as a covering for
the manufactured cakes ot opium. The
bare heads or capsules are left standiug
until ripe enough for lanciug. This is
done with an implement somewhat like
the knives of a cupping instrument, aud
it is said that much skill is required in
making the incision just the right depth,
for if made through the walls of the
capsule the juice will flow into the cavity
and be lost. The cut is made transversely
aud may extend two-thirds around the
capsule, or tc be made spirally, ending
beyond the starting point.
This scarifying is done towards even¬
ing, and the next morning early the cul¬
tivators appear with their long knives
and scrape off the exuding juice into
vessels held in the hand. Now this is
opium in the crude state, and when
enough of the juice, half dried, has been
collected to form a cake it is wrapped in
leaves and put in the shade to dry. In
this condition it is purchased by buyers
traveling from one village to another.
They gather it in small lots, and either
wor ^ ^ over thermetves or put it into
cotton bags and take it to tvuyrna,
w kere it is inspected.—American Farmer.
A Spinning Fad.
The ancient and honorable art of
spinning is to be revived in order that
the fair women of society may find a
new incentive to living in imitating the
thrift which to their grandmothers was
a subject of such genuine pride, A
pretty woman seated at a spinning wheel
twisting the flax between her fingers,
her perfectly slippered foot keeps the
wheel in motion with a gently whirring
sound, is always a picture, for it brings
the hands and arms into fine play,
Therefore, the new fad is to be
aged, for, as it becomes more general,
one’s mind will cease to be haunted
with visions of the spinning scene in
“Faust,” and take ten degrees more
pleasure in the private performance got-
ten up for tbe benefit of the select few
invited or voluntary callers at an infor-
mal afternoon reception, The idea In
undertaking to learn the art of spinning
is to weave a small square of linen,
which, when decorated with a trifling
amount of embroidery, is then reserved
for a gift to the nearest and dearest ac-
quaiatauce.—Picayune. —

No proposed political measure of recent
times lias aroused such widespread in.i.g-
nation throughout the south as the propo¬
sition, embodied iu tho 12tli plank of the
St. Louis people’s party platform, for the
government to pay union soldiers the dlf-
ference between tho greenbacks in which
their pensions had been paid and gold.
This monstrous measure carried with it
an appropriation to begin with of $3,000,-
000,000 of which it is estimated that Gaor-
gia’s share would have been about §65,-
000 , 000 .
As has been stated in The Journal
already, the authorship of this infamous
provision is claimed by "Cyclone" Davis,
the people’s party candidate for attorney
general of Texas, who slates that he pre-
pared it after consultation with Gen. J. B.
Weaver.
It may not be generally known, how-
ever, that this scheme to rob the govern-
ment of threo thousand million dollars—
the most gigantic pension steal ever pro¬
posed—is the pet measure of Weaver, now
caudida'e of the people’s party for president.
Weaver introduced a bill in the 46th, 49th
and 50ch congresses, providing for carrying
into effect the scheme proposed by tho now
notorious 12th plank.
The history of Weaver’s connection with
this robber measure is told in the following
extract from the Congressional Record:
CONGRESSMAN CRAWFORD’S SPEECH.
Mr. Crawford said:
“Mr. Chairman: lam opposed to estab-

the agricultural sections have been impov-

toil it represents. To those wl.o

"It is the policy of the republican par y
to put the government in partnership with
the manufactures in the collection of fed-
eral taxes, by which the government
§1 as tax and the manufacturers get four
as bounty. In other words the govern-
ment collects ,, §200,000,000 in round sum-

dise brought to this country, and the home
manufacturers, by the assistance of the
tariff laws, collect §800,000,000 from
products, and the people pay it all.
"That is to say, the people of the United
States pay §1,000,000,000 more annually for

Mr. Crawford said: "Mr. Chairman, this
hill was introduced by Mr. Weaver at the
second session of the forty-sixth congress,
and was H. R. 2480, and on December 3,
1879, was referred to tho committee on

40.) The same bill „ was introduced , , by , him
in the forty-ninth congress, and on Jan-

the same hill was again introduced
by him in the fiftieth congress as H. R.
1356 and was referred to the committee on
military affairs on January 4,1888. Mr.
Weaver’s persistency shows the deep in-

haviDg introduced it in every congress of
which he was a member.
"Mr. Chairman, this is one of the most

and forever it is established as an eternal truth
that the democracy in no place or s ate can
ever ba trustea with government. As a party
it should disband, just as a section of it did at
Appomattox.”
He said in a joint debate with Col. H. H.
Trimble, at Bloomfield, on September 4,
1868:
“Hero we have the old fight over again. The
confederate democracy, north and south, in
which the infamous copperhead division of
Iowa appears, are again contesiing with Grant
for the safety of the union. As at Donaldson,
he proposes to ‘move on their work at once,’
and there is no escape for this rank, traitorous
horde except in another surrender. Charge on
them lellow-republicans, and spare not one,
not even a deputy road supervisor, from total
political annihilation.”
He said in Bio infield on September 26,
1869:
“What is the use of further arraigning tho
defunct democracy, with all its hoary crimes,
at the bar of public opinion? We know that its
acts comprise murder, treason, theft, arson,
fraud, perjury and all the crimes possible for
an organization to connive at.”
“It would be a mercy to put its record a mill¬
ion miles down deep in the pit that is men¬
tioned in Holy Writ; and I may add that if a
large and distinguished assortment of it3 al¬
leged statesmen were sent along it would be
common justice.”
He said in Fairfield, September 18. 1870.
“The democracy, as usual, are loud in their
opposition, but what did they ever do when
they had a chance? Here in Iowa they stole the
school fund, and nationally they stole the
arsenals, the navy, the treasury, everything
that was not red hot, and created the very
devil’s rebellion. And these men appear anti
ssk for your support. They should come on
bended knees asking your forgiveness for the
unspeakable crimes they have committed and
tho wretched miseries inflicted upon our com¬
mon country.”
He said in Keokuk, September 16, 1871:
“The record of the republican party appeals
to the candid judgment of ail men as impeacha¬
ble, save, perhaps, that it was too lenient with
the leuding democratic conspirators. Tho same
old gang, save those who were shot or hung, are
again conspiring to get po-session of the gov¬
ernment next year. Woo to them ! for the loyal
hosts will crush them, and crush them forever
and forever out of all possible danger of such a
misfortune to our common country.”
He said at Oskaloosa, September 25th,
1872:
“No republican can ever, under any circum¬
stances, have any part or lot with the hungry,
rebellious, man hating, woman selling gang
corporated under the name of democracy, a
name so full of stench and poison that it should
be blotted from the vocabulary of civilized
man and handed over to the barbarism that it
so fitl y now and in all the past has repre-
sented. >
He said at Stiles, September lltb, 1873,
in referring to the financial policy of the
democratic party:
“But, then, what could you expect from the
poor, blind, diseased, decrepit, dismal, damned
old democratic party?”
Continuing Mr. Crawford said:
"I desire lo say in this connection Mr.
Chairman, that tho brave old soldiers
tlie south were just as honorable, patrio ic
and trustworthy when these fal-e and scan¬
dalous harangue i were made as they are in
ibis year of grace 1892. In tlie name of
humanity, is there any hope for the poor
and oppressed of the land who turn their
faces toward tho new Mecca and worship
at the slirino of this mighty statesman?"
