TIRED.
Tired-
Bo tired and weary.
Life seems a desert so dreary—
Teardrops dry up in its sand.
Tired
Of loving and hating,
Longing for rest, and then waiting
For peace in another land.
Trying
To fathom the depth of life’s river—
To catch the stray sunbeams that quivsc
And dance on its gleaming breast.
Wondering
If all sweeping surges
Ceaselessly sing Hope’s last dirges—
Requiem masses of rest.
Longing
To sleep in fhe gloaming- -
On dreamland’s far hills to be roaming,
With eyes that will never awake.
Waiting
To see life’s gray dawning
Flash in a glorious morning,
Aud the light of Eternity break.

. going to the
,i '.city to "look
1 for a job.”
"What’s
t h o matter
with staying
at homo and helping me run the farm?"
asked the old man.
"I want a cbauco to rise iu the world,
to show what kind of stuff I am made
of,” answered the youth.
“I reckon you’re made of the same
sort of clay as yer mother and me, but
yet only about half-baked yet,” said the
old man with a grin. "This comes of a
little learnin’. You’d better tarry at
Jericho until yor beard is grown an’
you’ve cut yer wisdom teeth, son.”
But the young man persisted. I-Ie ex
plained to his father that he wanted to
see the world, and make his mark in it.
He must have to begin low, but he was
bound to rise and be somebody, and ho
knew enough to keep clear of bunco-
steerers and all such gentry. Ho his
father gave him bis blessing and twenty-
five dollars in gold and lot him go, with
a pardonable desire to gratify his ambi
tion and see him rise in the world.
In due time a letter came from the
young man. Hob'd found employment
as a clei k in a jewelry store. It was
only a stepping-stone, he said, to the
fortune he intended to make, but he
should keep his eyes open and loose no
good chance.
The next letter was from the chief of
police in the city where the young mai
was employed. It merely announced the
fact that the youth was in jail and want
ed his father to come nnd bail him out.
The consternation which this missive in.
t rod need into the farm household can
only be imagined. They all loyally
clung to the belief that their Charles
Augustus was not. a criminal in intent,
but the fact of his being iu jail was a
great blow to their pride.
"Let us return,” as ths novelists say,
to Charles Augustus.
That, enterprising young man had won
golden opinions from his employer, by
liis steady conduct, hi, correct business
principles, and his devotion to their in
terests. One day, at a time when he
was tne only clerk in thestore, astranger
entered and asked to he shown some
diamond earrings. He produced a bus
iness card, and the jeweler, who person
ally attended to him, lecognized the
name as that of a man recently estab
lished in business there, but who was
still a stranger to him. The gentleman
selected the earrings and asked that they
be sent to his hotel for liis wife to cx-
n-nine before purchasing them. Then
h' left the store.
Now this business was unbusiness-like
and t!:e jeweler cautioned young Still
well not to leave the diamonds unless
they were paid for, as the buyer had
said they would be if they suited. So
Charles Augustus went up to the hotel
with two ideas fixed in his mind. He
was to return,like the Spartan hero,with
his shield, or upon it—in other words,
he was to bring back either the diamonds
or their equivalent, in cash.
"Know thyself,” the motto of the
wise ineu of Greece, was un unknown
ouantit.y in the arithmetic of our Charles
Augustus. He had read enough dime
literature in his salad days, which were
not yet over, to (ill his soul with an une
qual appreciation of things. For in
stance, quite unknown to his parents, he
yearned to be a detective. Cowboys and
raiders were not much to his liking;
they iacked the element of respectability.
But to be a detective, a sleuth-hound of
the law, to rise to the high position of
inspector-in-chief of police, to be the
terror of small boys and evil doers was to
roach the ultimatum of his ambition.
When his employer imagined his new
clerk at the reading room of the Y. M.
0- A. or sound asleep in his boarding
house bed, Charles Augustus was hang
ing around the police station, watching
the criminals brought in, and admiring
the officer on duty who assigned each
one to a cell a wave of Ills baton.
He thought he was getting a deep in
sight into hudkh nature, and that, he
could tell a origiinal from an honest man
aAAhe firatcndancff That was the inter-
erang etatopt hut mind wnen bo reached
the hotel witV the valuable package in
his pocket, the jewels in a satin-lined
case, ready to be teinfpingly displayed
before eyes of the foriunate woman for
whom thoy were to be purchased.
In answer to his question the boy who
Opened the door said that he would ree
U Mrs was In,aud Charles Augustus
Mnt up the card of his employer, nnd
waited in the parlor for the lady to see
him. When the boy returned he was
requested to attend to tho lady in her
own room.
"Hal” he said to himself, “it’s tne
old gag!"
The lady admired tho jewels nnd told
her husband, who was present, that they
suited her exactly, Charles Augustus
had literally frozen to them; he stood
close to the lady wliilo sho tried them on
ami furlivoly watched her lest she should
make a dash for the opposite door, when
he would snatch tho diamonds and fight
tho two conspirators siuglo handed, nnd
lie pressed something in tho breast
pocket of his coat. It. was the first
purchaso ho had made put of his father's
gold piece—a rovolvcr, which he needod
about ns much as a cat needs two tails.
"You can leave thorn,” said the gen
tleman languidly—gentlemanly villains
are always languid—"I will call in and
pay for them on my way homo from tho
offico.”
"Ha, the plot thickens,” remarked
Charles Augustus, mentally. Aloud he
said ;
"I beg your pardon, air, but my or
ders are peremptory. I am not to leave
the diamonds without receiving the
money.”
The gentleman Smiled. But a man can
smile, aud smilo, aud be a villain still.
Charles Augustus stood his guard with a
come - one - come - aU-this-rook-shall-fly-
from-its first - base as-soon-as-I—Fitz-
Jnmes’—expression that, meant business.
"Tho idea,” said his wife indignantly,
“to think that you are not good for that
amount 1 Thoy can't know who we
are.”
"Never mind dear It’s just as well
to pay for them now as at any time. I
will write out a check and give it to the
young man, and you oan keop your dia
monds." But Charles Augustus saw
only a new move in tho game in this ar
rangement,
"I must have a certified oheck," he
said firmly.
"Ring for a coupe," said the gentle-
mnn to his wife, “I will go to the bank
aud get the eash, and see it paid into
the hands of tho jeweler myself. It’s a
good idea to deal only with principals in
an affair of this kind.”
This was carrying tho war into
tho enemy’s camp with a vengeance.
Charles Augustus felt that ho had met a
foeinan worthy of his steel. Those are
stock phrases which novelists use, and
Hiev worn as familiar to Charles
Augustus, as they are to the rest of the
world, and served to illustrate a crisis.
Tho coupe was announced, and tho
two men went down and got in together,
each visibly shrinking from the other.
The fact was the buyer of the diamonds
wns Buffering from a raging toothache,
and just as the coupe got well started,he
remembered a bottle of ether, and some
other mixture which he had bought that
morning for that purpose, aud forgotten
during a lull in the misery. Now he
brought it out, removed the cork, and
was about to apply it, when tho bottle
was snatched from his hand, and dashed
through the open window of the coupe.
"No you don't, I'm onto your little
game. You don’t chloroform me I’
shouted Charles Augustus,as he drew his
pistol and popped it under the nose ot
his captured “villain "
Tho noise of the two men fighting
vigorously in the coupe, both doors of
which had flown open, the cries of
“policel” "inurdwl” "stop thief t”
which could bo heard lor a block, finally
reached the driver’s ears, and brought
him to a stand still when,in a twinkling,
two policemen were on the spot.
"Hold him. lie tried to chloroform
met” yelled Charles Augustus.
"Arrest this man- He’s trying to rob
and murdor me I” shouted the other oc
cupant of the coupe.
The result was that both men were ar
rested and taken to tho statioo, where
they were incarcerated in separate cells
and booked as drunk and disorderly, un
til such time as the law of police officials,
which is different from any other kind
of law under the sun, should admit of
their cases being looked up and the facts
of the affair brought out. The dia
monds and Mr. s checkbook wen
taken care cf by fhe same authorities.
They were both fined for breaking the
peace, but tho iuuoceut party of tho first
part, who bought the diamonds, 01 tried
to, wasouly kept in jail one night. Then
his distracted wife fouud him, and figura
tively warmed the policemsu’s ears for
ever putting him there. The jeweler
finally got his money aud the lady in the
case received her diamonds, but Charles
Augustus, the valiant, languished in jail
until his father eame and bailod him out.
He is now running a plow on the home
ranch, but what new turn his genius will
take remains to be soon. For tho pres
ent he Is satisfied to be out of business
as an amateur detective.—Detroit Free

"Hr. Garret’s Contribution.
A rathor amusing incident in the ex
perience of an editorial friend of mini
was roeently brought to my attention-
ail incident, which illustrates the ruriou,
situations which editors sometimes fin?
themselves led by their decisions on mnn
scripts submitted for their examination
My friend is the oditor of a prominen
weekly in this city, and,one day not Ion;
ago, found on his desk a manuscript, ac
companied by the usual contributor 1 !
lottor. As the particular letter bore I hi
letter-head of the publishing house whirl
issued his own books, my cditoriul ftienr
was led to examine the manuscript will
a special dogreo of intorest- The manu
script related to a subject of popular in
terest, so tho editor promptly decided to
accept, it, glad of an opportunity to re
turn the compliment to one associate!
with the publishers who had accepted
his literary work. Confident that he win
addressing some prominent individual ir
the publishing house, lie ordered s. re
speclful note of acceptance to bo sent
A few dnys later ho had occasion to cal 1
at his publishers' and in the course ol
conversation he said to the member o:
the firm with whom ho was talking:
"By the way, I would like to see Mr,
Garrett.”
“GarrettI Garrett?’’ mused the pub
lisher. "I don’t recognize the name."
"Why, 1 have accepted n manuscript
from a gentleman of that name, whn
wrote from this house”
“Garrett? Oirrott?” repeated the pub
Usher in r puzzled tone. Then he turned
and tapped his bell. Tho office boy re
sponded.
“Richard,” said the publisher, "do
you know anyono by the name of Gar
ret here?”
The boy blushed and bowed. In i
few moments he had overcome his con
fusion enough to confess that he iva»
“Mi- Garrett.”
The publisher had only known him as
"Richard;”
The amusing effect, of this eonfusiot
on tho minds of the publisher and editor
may bettor be loft fro the imagination ol
the reader.—E. W. Bok.
. Feminine Trinket* Frem Africa.
The Englishwoman who lately explored
the ICilimu-Njaro country in Africa
brought out all sorts of interesting speci
mens with her, many of which the na
tives would never have surrendered to a
man; such as articles of attiro that, havo
actually been worn by women, bells
worn on the little black babies’ ankles to
encourage them to walk,wigs, riugs, fly
leaf aprons, bracelets, anklets, belts anil
girdles of beads, hair ornaments, bcauti-
fill spears, shields, poisone 1 arrows,
porn.be cups, household utensils., and a
multitude of other strange and curious
things. The traveler was much struck
by tho intelligence of these races, who
have but little pure African blood, aud
are. anything but lazy. Perhaps the most
interesting reflection in connection with
these people is that they are destined to
extermination by vicious indulgences
which will be introduced to them in tin
way of trade. The German potato alco
hol is more destructive even than the
opium which was forced on the Chinese
at the mouths of British cannon, and has
been ever since maintained by the sam»
agency.—New York Sun.
Wire Papers Than Ever.
The American Newspaper Directory
for 1892, just out, gives a table showing
that there arc 18,714 newspapers and
magazines published in the United
States. There are 175!) dailies, it!! tri
weeklies, 209 semi-weeklies, 13,404
weeklies, 83 bi-monthlies, 22-1 semi
monthlies, 2764 monthlies, 5fi bi-month

first witli a tolai of 1971 periodicals;
Illinois is second with 1438 and Penn
sylvania third with 1403. Alaska has
thelanst number, 3; Indian Territory is
second lowest, with 23, and Arizona
third with 32. Canada and Newfound
land have a total of 859 periodicals.
In 1891 there were 18,536 periodicals
published in the United States, and the
list for 1892 shows a gain of 178 over
lost year’s figures. In Canada and
Newfoundland 22 more periodicals are
issued this year than in 1891.
FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
oniTINli THE FASTORE TN ORDER-
Can you put that pasture in better
6hape than it was last year by spreading
just a little manure on tho burnt out
spots and then sowing a handful of grass
seed over that. Take a walk all through
the pastures as soon ns the snow is off
and note carefully the condition the
grass is in. Take with you some sticks
splits from a board and stick them in the
ground where the manure is wanted so
you enn by this mark find the place again.
This work done now will savo money to
you when labor is pressing as tho months
come hot and work presses.—American

SUNFLOWERS.
Plant sunflower seeds all along the
back fences, and in bare,unused corners.
All along the side and front of the
sheds and barns, put the seeds of these
rauk and brightly beautiful "growers.”
They will flourish anywhere, and turn
the backgonnd into a wall of green il
luminated by discs of orange,nnd hiding
old weather boaten wood work or fenc
ing. The seeds of the sunflower are in
some countries used for fattening (owls.
In Russia (and in some of our Western
States) they are cultivated for fool,being
harvested in two parts, the seed heads
cut off nnd put away in a corn-crib, aud
tho stalks piled in a shed.
Wbon cut in the right, timo tho stalks
dry as hard as oak,and make a good, hot
fire, while the seed heads with the seed
in make a better Ore than tho best hard
coal. Tho seed, being very rich in oil,
will burn bettor and lougor,ton for ton,
than hard coal.---Detroit Free Press.
A ,1'KHFBCT EOO-TEBTER FOR NOTHING.
Having one of tho lanterns with a re
flector and a bull’s-eye on one side of
the chimney, which are made to put on
the dasher of a wagon, ns well as for or
dinary house use, I made an egg-tester as
follows, explains a Cambridge, (Mass.)
correspondent 1 got a box just big
enough to receive the lantern easily,
arranged one side of it to swing on
leathern hinges as a door, and or an
other side, just opposite the bull’s-eye,
cut nu egg-shaped hole, about a quarter
of au inch larger all round than a largo
egg. Then over this hole 1 tanked a piece
of thin leather, in which was another
egg-shaped hole, slightly smaller than
an egg. By holding the egg firmly
against this opening in tho leather, every
ray of light is excluded, and tho full
force of the lantern, reflector and bull’s-
eye are turned on tho egg. Of course
there must be a sufficient opening in the
lop of the box to let off the heated air.
With this fester I can plainly see the
embryo in a fertile egg forty-eight hours
after tho beginning of incubation.—
Farm and Poultry.
TIF.ST ri.AOF, Fon REES.
Bco keeping should havo more atten
tion from farmers. In locating the apiary
select some cool, shady, quiet spot. The
hives should never be placed against the
side of a building or close to a fence, but
there should always be room to stand on
either side of them while working. The
south side of a building is also an ob-
jecliouable place beciuso it is liable —
from the intense reflected heat of tho
sun—to give them the swarming fever.
Also avoid placing the bees where cattle
or horses constantly pass, as the over
turning of a hive by tho animals might
produce serious results. The orchard is
a good place fur bees, or au apiary and
vineyard may be combined by placing
the hives at a good distance apart and
planting a grapevine beside each. Do
not fear tlmt tho bee.H will spoil the fruit,
for it is a settled fact that they will not
puncture a grape in order to get at its
juices, but will only feed upon it after
the birds liavo taken a bite. Bees aro
not at all destructive, and they are es
pecially valuable because they gather up
and store away that which would be
wholly lost if it were not that they can
utilize it.—Chicago Times.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
A light loam, a porous subsoil, gives
the best results in the gladiolus.
Guineas are great foragers and destroy
many insects that hens will not touch.
The great secret iu raising young
ducks is not to allow them to get wot.
Coal ashe3 should always be sifted be
fore using for the dust bath of tho fowls.
Make it a rule to clean the lieu nests
every week and paint them with coal
oil.
A little oil meal at the morning or uoou
feed about ouen a week keeps the bowels
active, and makes the glossy plumage that
is often such a marked feature in the
prizo birds at tho poultry shows.
With Bordeaux mixture for fungus
diseases, arsenical compounds for leaf
eating insects and oil ones for others,
the successful cultivation of many more
plants than before is now made possible.
Egg plants require early starting,
warm quarters, vigorous plants, rather
late transplanting to the field, warm,
rich aud moist soil, constant attention
to potato beetles and freqneut cultiva
tion.
That competition affects agricultural
industry it would he idle to deny, but
this competition does not iu tho least iu
terfere with the power of tho farmer to
provide a living for himself and family.
RECIPES.
Egg Sauce—Beat together ouc-half
cup butter and one tablespoonful of
flour; add a half pint boiling water, stir
ring constantly, pepper and salt to tastp
and when thick like custard arid two
hard-boiled eggs chopped fine. Serve
hot.
Shnd Roe—Boil the roe of a shad and
two eggs for fen minutes in salted water.
Put two heaping tablcspoonfuls of butter
in your chafing dish, together with a
fablesDoonful of lemon juice or vinogar.
Add the roe (breakiug it up lightly with
a fork) then tho yolks. of two hard J
boiled eggs, mashed fine, a small cup of
grsted bread crumbs, a little chopped
parsley, pepper and salt. Stir constantly
until all is well mixed, and servo very
hot.
Lettuce Salad—Do not cut, but pul)
the leaves apart, rejecting all braised or
wilted ones, and place in a salad bow)
largo enough to dress nicely without
scattering ovor the table. Makoa dress
ing by adding two saltspoonfuls of salt
and one of pepper to a tablespoouful of
oil; mix thoroughly, then add three
tablespoonfuls of oil and oue and one-
half tablespoonfuls of best vinegar. Pour
over at the table when ready to serve.
T omato Butter—Choose perfectly ripe,
large, red tomatoes, 3cald them to make
it easy to remove the skin, and then
weigh tVsm; to each pound of tomatoes
allow six ounces of brown sugar aud a
gill of vinegar; put these ingredients
over tho fire in a thick kettle, heat them
gradually, and boil them gently, stirring
them almost constantly to prevent burn
ing, uutil a little of the tomato butter is
as thick as jam whencoolodou a saucer;
when it is done and quite cold put it up
like other preserves.
Strawberry Shortcake—To a pint, of
sifted flour add a heaping teaspoon of
baking powder; rub into the flour two
tablespoonfuls of butter and a little salt,
enough sweet milk to make a stiff batter;
stir quickly and lightly and spread im
mediately upon buttered tins of oven
size, bake in a quick oven, ten minutes
should be long enough, but tho cakei
should be a delicate brown; slip one cake
on to a hot plate and spread tho berries
over it, then put tho othor cake on top;
butter lightly; send to the table as soon
as ready. Tho berries should bo pulled
with care, and if gritty washed quickly;
never wash berries unless it is really nec
essary. If the berries are large, slice
each one once or twice with a silver
knife, being careful not to mash the
fruit; sprinkle plentifully with sugar,
and after standiug a fow momonts turn
lightly with a silver fork; use fine, fresh
berries, and prepare tho cake as quickly
as possible; it should also he eaten as
soon as served. Never bruiso or "mash”
tho fruit—it ruins the fine flavor and
spoils the dainty appearance of the cake.
This is truly tho kind of caka "that
mother sued to make.”
Iron Paper.
It will not perhaps bo remembered,
says the London Paper Maker, that in
the great exhibition of 1851, a specimen
of iron papor was exhibited. Imme
diately a lively competition ensued
among iron masters as to the thinness to
which cold iron could be rolled. Oue
iron maker rolled sheets the average
thickness of which was 1-1800 part of
an inch. In other words, 1800 sheets of
this iron piled one upon the other would
only measure one iuch in thickness. The
wonderlul fineness of this work may be
more readily understood when it is re
membered that 1200 sheets of thinnest
tissue paper measuro a fraction ovor an
inch. These wonderful iron sheets vver.i
perfectly smooth and easy to write upon,
notwithstanding the fact that, they were
porous when held up in a strong light.
Humors st a Potat* Famine.
The failure of the potato crop created
a general panic in a little Pennsylvania
town sevoral years ago. The merchants
put the price of potatoes up to an exorb
itant figure nnd there was distress
through ail the neighboring county.
The keeper of tho only hotel, Solomon
Hanks, was vexed aud troubled. lle
feared to drive away his patrons by rais
ing the price of board, yet his profits
were hardly inrge enough to keep up his
family. He began to cut down expenses,
and the first thing that had to go was
his free omnibus. For several months
that crazy old vehicle carried the follow
ing sign; "Owing to the high price of
potatoes guests must pay a fare of
twenty-five cents to ride in this ’bus.—
