MY LOVE.
My love’s sweet eyes are blue,
My love’s fair eyes are true;
They gaze at me
So earnestly
That all my soul is stirred.
My love’s dear voice is low.
And like soft music's flow
, My pulses beat
i AVith joy complete,
Responsive to her word.
My love’s brave heart is strong,
And swift to answer wrong;
So tender, too,
That grief doth sue
For shelter ’neath its wings.
My love’s pure thoughts ascend,
As blossoms skyward tend;
They are for me,
Unconsciously,
The guides to nobler things.

ZULEIKA’S BEEHIVES.
BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES.
“Papa, I really think you ought to
interfere,” said Zuleika,' her cheeks
iflame, her eyes full of wrathful lire.
“Papa, I do wish you would put
Zuleika in her place, once for all!”spoke
Rosamond the regal.
The Professor laid down his pen with
polysyllabled word yet unfinished, and
sighed a Borean sigh.
“More trouble,” said lie. “What is
the matter now?”
“Aunt Pauline has sent me a cherry
colored cashmere dress,” sputtered Zule
ika—“the prettiest color!—and three
yards of susah to trim it with. And—
and Rosa has cooily appropriated it!”
“I needed anew gown,” observed
Rosamond. “And Zu can do very well
with her dyed sagegreeu. Besides, Pm
the oldest!”
“Is that any reason you should be a
thief?” retorted the irate Zuleika.
“Girls, girls!” protested the Professor,
turning his slim, white fingers in the hair
of his head.
“Make her give it back to me, papa!”
said Zuleika. “It’s mine! Aunt Pauline
never sent it to her. She has no business
to take it.”
“Tell her to remember that she is only
a child, papa,” calmly remarked Rosa
mond, “and that she ought to defer to
her ciders.”
Zuleika so far forgot her dignity as to
make a face at Rosamond, at this stage
of the discussion.
“Ob, I just wish Captain Calverly
could know what a whited sepulchre
you are,” said she. “Just wait until I
get a chance—won’t I tell him about the
Balm of Roses and the Coreopsis Cream
for the Complexion, and ”
“Papa, w ill you silence her?” appealed
Rosamond, with the expression of a
grieved angel.
“Girls, girls,” groaned the Professor,
“do reflect. Here is this manuscript to
be sent off to the Scientific Bi- Weekly at
four o’clock this afternoon, and how do
ypu suppose it’s to be done? Rosamond,
don’t tease your sister. Zuly, be a good
girl, and mind what Rosamond says.”
The Professor went back to his" stacks
of pens and pools of ink. Rosamond
darted one triumphal glance at her
younger sister, and sailed like a royal gal
leon out of the door.
Zuleika rau headlong into the garden,
aud never let loose the torrent of her sobs
and tears until she was safe down among
the pinks and phloxes, where the bees
went in and out of two little hives aud
kept up a murmurous hum.
“I wish I was one of you, you dear lit
tle brown-belted things!” passionately
cried she, resting her chin in her hands
as she sat staring at them, her vision
blurred by tears. ‘ ‘Then there wouldn’t
be any question of gowns and boots and
horrid, cross elder sisters. I wonder is it
wicked to hate Rosamond as I do? I
shouldn’t hate her if she was kind and
considerate to me, and acted as if she
loved me just the least little bit in the
world. It isn’t the cherry-colored cash
mere so much—though I would like a
new’ gown that hadn’t been dyed over,
and that Rosamond hadn’t worn all the
beauty out of before I got hold of it—-
but it’s the hateful, hideous, out-ra-geous
injustice of the thing. I’ve almost a
mind to run away, or to go for hired help,
or drown myself or something. Jacob!”
—springing suddenly to her feet—“what
are doing here?”
“Please, Miss Zuleika,” said the stolid
farmhand, “Eben Phelps, he’s come al -
ter the bees.”
“And what business has Eben Phelps
with my bees, I’d like to know?”
“Miss Jefferd so'td ’em to him, miss.
She don’t want no bees here. She’s go
in’ to have the ground leveled for a ten
nis court—whatever that may be.”
Zuleika Jefferd stepped tragically to
the side of her beehives.
“This is too much!’ ; said she. “They
are my bees—not Miss Jefferd's; and if
any one dares to lay hands on a hive, I'll
have them prosecuted for trespass' Do
you hear that, Jacob?”
Jacob retreated. There was no mis
taking tho determiuaiton in Zuleika's
eyes.
Eben Phelps was forced to drive away
without even a parley.
“Not’s I expected to carry away
twohives o’ bees in broad daylight,” he
explained to Jacob. “Ye might 'a
knowed better'n that, Jake: but 1 sorto
o’ wanted to look at ’em afore I closed
the bargain.”
“Guess ye hadn't better,” said Jacob.
“Our young missy she means just what
she says, and the bees is hern, anyway.
Squire Bassett he gin ’em to herhisself.”
Rosamond Jefferd only shrugged her
handsome shoulders when she heard this.
“I mean to have my tennis court,”
said she, “And I mean to get rid of
those odious bees—all in good time. Of
course Zu will rage, but she’s always
raging about something.”
Time passed on. The cherry-colored
cashmere was made up, and Miss Jefferd
decided to wear it for the initial time on
tbs occasion of the visit of Mr. Franklin
Jefferd, a distant cousin, in whose eyes
she desired to appear her very best.
“If he's really the rich member of the
family,” argued Rosamond, “its worth
the while to take a little pains with one’s
dress. Wc all know that a first impres
sion is everything.”
“I suppose you’d like to marry him
and spend all his money for him,” said
Zuleika, who was reluctantly helping in
the kitchen.
For Rosamond had decreed a stupen
dous “company dinner,” and there was
no one who made such exquisite mayon
naise as Zuleika.
Rosamond laughed scornfully.
“Little girls should be seen and not
heard,” said she. “Indeed, as I have
decided to invite Mrs. Matthews aud Dr.
and Mrs. Raynhan, there won’t be room
for you at the table.”
Zuleika's eyes flashed.
‘•Aon won’t dare to leave me out!”
said she.
“You’ll see whether I will or not,” re
sponded composed Rosamond.
“Rosamond,” said Zuleika, her breath
coming thick and fast, “it would be a
judgment on you if I were to get married
first, after all!”
‘ -Much chance there is of your getting
married!” jeered Rosamond, as she
smoothed the icing on her loaf of sponge
cake.
The hour of the unknown cousin’s ar
rival came. Rosamond looked mostpro
vokiugly pretty in the cherry colored
cashmere and a cluster of deep red roses
at her belt.
Zuleika, in the neutral tinted sage
green, felt like a katydid or a grasshop
per, or any other painfully insignificant
insect.
‘:Aud now,” said Rosamond, glancing
at her imperial presence in the parlor
mirror, which Zuleika was diligently pol
ishing with plate ponder and :: ch&rv'us
doth, “I’m going out to gather some
carnations.”
Zuleika made no comment, but within
herself she thought:
“Yes, do. That’s right! I planted
the carnations, and I watered them, and
I took care of them—and you coolly ap
propriated them. It’s always so, in this
family, and papa never interferes to pro
tect my rights!”
She was thus soliloquizing when she
saw another reflection than her own iu
the mirror. She gave a jump and a
scream simultaneously.
“Don’t be frightened,” said the ap
parition. “You are Rosamond, aren’t
you? lam your cousin Franklin.”
He was very cordial and haudsome,
with pleasant, dark eyes, a rich olive
complexion, and a sweet, deep voice.
Zuleika was quite certain that she was
going to like him.
“No,” said said she, “I’m not Rosa
mond. lam Zuleika, the younger sister.
But I’m very glad to see you, all the same,
and I’m sorry papa hasn’t come back from
the postoffice yet. Aud” (hurriedly fling
ing the chamois-clotn into the pot-pourri
jar) “I’ll go out with you into the garden,
and show you where Rosamond is.”
For she was secretly determined, in
spite of her wrongs, to give Rosamond
every fair chance.
Franklin Jefferd looked down at the
| light, agile figure, as he walked beside it.
I How pretty she was! AVhat a delicate
j pink color burned on her clear cheek,
I and how intensely blue her eyes were!
| And then those silky rings of light-brown
hair that were blowing about her fore
j head—what a bewitching framework
they made to her face!
“If Rosamond is prettier, she must be
very pretty,” he thought.
At that moment the sound of shiieks
and vituperations burst on the scented
summer air, and Rosamond, forcing her
way through the tall lilac bushes, rushed
into the open garden, both hands clasped
over her face.
Was it Rosamond—this figure with
disheveled hair, eyes swollen to nearly
twice their size, face disfigured with in
numerable stings, and complexion pur
ple with rage and pain?
“It's your horrid, hateful bees that
have done it, Zuleika!" she screamed.
“Anyhow, I threw both hives into the
brush and smashed them, and—l’d like j
to fling you after them! Yes, I would!” j
“It warn’t the creet.urs’ fault, Miss
Jefferd,” explained the voice of Jacob, i
the hired man, who brought up the rear, j
beating off a cloud of infuriated insects
with the brim of his straw hat. “Bees
is allers quick to take offense—an’ you
just slapped out at ’em when they came
harmlessly humruin’ round about your
ear. And it didn’t better matters none
\ when you kicked the hives over into the
| brook. I shouldn’t wonder now, ef it
I was twenty-four hours afore ye could see
i outen your eyes ag’in.”
“Papa,” cried Rosamond, “if you
i don’t put a stop to Zuleika's obstinacy
and willfuness—”
“It isn’t papa, Rosamond,” said Zu
leika, in a low voice, as she gently de
tached her sister’s hand from the stran
ger’s arm. “It is Mr Franklin Jefferd.
We came out to look for you.”
“I’m sorry you’re so badly stung,
cousin Rosamond,” said Mr. Jefferd.
“A little bicarbonate of soda, dssclved
in water—”
But Rosamond, muttering a few in
coherent words of excuse, vanished
under the honeysuckles that draped the
porch, leaving Jacob to do battle alone
with the winged enemies, and Zuleika
and Franklin to console each other.
And this was the “first impression”
which she succeeded in making upon her
unknown cousin!
! “Was it my fault that Frank liked me
1 better than you?” Zuleika asked her sis
ter, six weeks afterward. “You needn’t
scold me because I am engaged to be
married before you. He chose for him
self, didn’t he?”
“It was the fault of your bees,” said
angry Rosamond. “I believe you kept
them there on purpose.”
“Won’t you speak one kindly, loving
word to me, Rosamond, now that I am
so happy?” whispered Zuleika. “Say:
that you rejoice in my good fortune!” j
But Rosamond remained stubbornly si- 1
lent.
“I don’t think,” said Betsy BUir, ’’the
housekeeper, “that poor Miss Zuleika
ever khew what it was to be really loved
or looked after until she was engaged to
Mr. Frank. The Professor meant well,
bet he'd no eyes for anything but his
books. And Miss Rosa—oh, she was a
regular tyrant! And yet at the weddin’
everybody was sayin’: ‘What a very
amiable person Miss Jefferd is, and whut
a relief it must be to her to git that trou
blesome younger sister of hers married
off!’ Oh, the injustice of this world!"
Her gossip, old Mrs. Hale, shook her
cap borders.
“It’s what we must expect this side o’
the Promised Land!” said she, senten*
tiously.— Sat nr day Niyh l.
Where the “Nickels” Come From.
In the Copper Cliff Mine, near Sud
bury, Canada, it is said, more nickel is
being produced than the entire market
of the world calls for, at current prices.
A little branch railway of the main
line of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
four miles iu length, leads out to (lit
miuc, which opens into the face of a crag
of the brown, oxidized Laurentian rock,
characteristic of this region. The miners
are now at work at a depth of about
three hundred feet below the surface.
As fast as the nickel and copper bear
ing rock is hoisted out it is broken up
and piled upon long beds, or ricks, of
pine wood, to be calcined, or roasted, foi
the purpose of driving out the sulphur
which it contains.
The roasting process is of the nature of
lime kilning or charcoal burning. Each
great bed of ore requires from oue to two
months to roast. When roasted, the rock
goes to the principal smelter, a powerful
blast furnace, “jacketed”—in mining
phrase—with running water, to enable it
to sustain the great heat requisite to re
duce the crude, obdurate mineral to flu
idity.
The 'Goss of the molten mass is first
allowed to flow oft, and afterward the
nearly pure mickel and copper, blended
together in s.n alloy called the “mat,” oi
matte, is drawn off at the. base
of the furns.ee vat into borrow pots,
and wheeled away, still liquid and fiery
hot, to cool in the yard of the smelter.
The mat contains about seventy percent,
of nickel, the remaining thirty per cent,
being mainly copper.
AA'heu cool, the conical pot loaves of
mat can easily be cracked iu pieces by
means of heavy hammers. The frag
ments are then packed in* barrels and
shipped to ‘Swansea in AVales and to Ger
many, where the two constituent metals
are separated and refined by secret pro
cesses which are very jealously guarded
by the nvliufacturers.
So jealously is the secret kept that no
one in America has yet been able to learn
the process, although one young metal
lurgist spent three years at Swausea,
working as a common laborer in the re
fining factories in order to procure it.
At present there are produced daily at
the Copper Cliff Mine about ninety pot
loaves of mat, each weighing near four
hundred aud fifty pounds, an output
which yields au aggregate of more than
four thousand tons of nickel a year.—

The Struggle of Sea and Land.
We stand on a bluff at the seashore.
| The suif is undermining it. That deep
j cutting into the bank is its work. An
; overhauging mass of earth is thrown
| down and becomes the toy of the waves,
which reduces it to gravel. This in its
turn becomes ammunition to be hurled
against the shore. Wherever this pro
cess is going on, the land falls back be
fore the advancing sea, and considerable
results are evident iu a short time. The
Island of Heligoland has been reduced,
within a thousand years, from a consider
able island to a mere rock, The strings
of rocky islands along many coasts arc
remnants of destroyed shoreland. Thus
the land yields with hardly a struggle to
the supremacy of the sea, Loose alluvial
terrains give way in a body. The Zuyder
Zee so came into being five hundred
years ago, aud Holland, part of which is
below the level of the sea, would have
been likewise overflown if it had not
been defended by artificial dikes. Sub
sidences of ground have also been some
times observed during earthquakes.
Iu other places the sea gives way.
Rivera carry out masses of detritus and
deposit them along the, shores* causing
the land to advance. By the operation
of this process Ronlan ports on the east
ern coast of Italy have been left away in
land, and the whole alluvial districts of
the upper Italian plain have beeu wrested
from the sea. —Popular Science Monthly.
fifrent Minds at Sea.
Many of the greatest minds of tht
world have been upon the ocean, but how
few great thoughts have been conceived
at sea, says the Ocean. Men of the
highest genius seem to be transformed as
soon as they get at a distance from land
in a rolling vessel. There is an inability
j to control the mind while at sea, a difti
; culty in concentrating the attention on
; the task of even writing in one’s diary,
or reading even the most trifling Action.
From this experience the best disciplined
I minds are not free. When at home on
land they can, without friction or dis
turbance, carry on mental operations eveD
while many are talking or playing about
them; their faculties are so well poised
that they obey the word of command,
but at sea they can do nothing with the
intellect. Were it not for the impossi
bility of controling the intellectual forces
a ship on a long voyage would be the
best conceivable retreat for those who
wish to think, or write, or read.

AN ACCOMPLISHED SERVANT.
“What do you wish!” asked the ser
vant who answeied the ring at the door.
“Baron de Veauminet.”
“What do you wish to see him for?”
“It is in relation to a promissory
note.”
“The Baron went out of town yester
day.”
“Now,that is too bad; I wanted to pay
him the amount I owe him.”
“But,” added the servant, “he re
turned this morning.” —French -Jolce.
A QUEER STORY.
Stranger (driving past the foot of a
mountain, to driver) —“Anything remark
able about this mountain!”
Driver—“ There is nothing peculiar
about the hill itself, but there s a queer
story connected with it.”
Stranger—“ What is that?”
Driver—“A young lady and gentleman
went out for a walk on this hill; they
ascended higher and higher and—and
never came back again.”
Stranger—“ Dear me! What, then, be
came of the unhappy pair?”
Driver—“ They went dowu on the
other side.”
IT WAS SAD.
She was a solid, practical woman of
fifty, with no nonsense in her composi
tion, and he was a grocer's clerk with the
down of youth on his chin and a desire
to be funny. She stopped at the door and
inquired:
“Have you any cauliflower?”
“It's according to what you call a
flower,” lie promptly replied.
“Have you any cauliflower, sir?”
“I might call a beet a call-a-flower.”
She had a folded umbrella in her grasp.
She put the end of the staff against his
youthful breast, gave a sudden push, and
he went backward into a basket of onions
with a shriek of dismay and a long rip
in his shirt, bosom.
“Peihaps you can call that,” she ob
served, as she passed on.
“Call again, ma’am!” he managed to
say, as lie worked out of the basket.—

don't KNOW’ ADAM.
As Artemus Ward was once traveling
in the ears, dreading to be bored, and
feeliug miserable, a man approached him,
sat down and said:
“Did you hear the last thing on Horace
Greeley?”
“Greeley? Greeley?” said Artemus.
Greeley? Who is he?"
The man was quiet about five minutes.
Pretty soon he said:
“George Francis Train is kicking up a
good deal of a row over in England; do
you think they will put him in a bastile?"
“Train? Train? George Francis Train?”
said Artemus, solemnly. “I never heard
of him.”
This ignorance kept the man quiet for
fifteen minutes; then he said:
“What do you think about General
Grant’s chances for the Presidency?” Do
you think they will run him?”
“Grant? Grant? Hang it, man,” said
Artemus, “you appear to know more
strangers than any man I ever saw.”
The man was furious; he walked up
the car, but at last came back aud said:
“You big ignoramus, did you ever hear
of Adam?”
Artemus looked up and said: “What
was his other name?”
Haunted by Squirrels.
A short distance back from the river
road, opposite Belleville, N. J., is a
strange old stone house, very imposing
in appearance, and, with its quaint bat
tlements, looking as if it only wanted a
moat, a portcullis, and a drawbridge to
make it a castle capable of withstanding
a vigorous siege. As matters stand,
however, it is merely a farmhouse. For
a long time it was supposed to lie
haunted, aud nobody could bo induced,
even by the most liberal offers of re
duced rent, to live in it permanently. A
few adventurous spirits, who essayed to
pass a night in one of its gloomy rooms,
were glad to get out with the first gleam
of dawn, bringing away with them stories
of spirits of a boisterous character, who
made the hours of darkness hideous by
tramping tumultously np and down the
wide oak stairways.
At last a young farmer and his wife
moved in at a merely nominal rental.
An unearthly clattering on the stairs
frightened the crmplc half out of their wits
the first night, and the wife tried to per
suade her consort to get up and investi
gate, For an hour he argued desperately
with her on the advisability of lying
Still. She declared, despairingly, that
if he wouldn’t investigate she must
either die or get up herself. Finally
they effected a compromise by creeping
out of the bed together. They lit the
lamp and creeped cautiously out of the
chamber door. .
The first glance solved the mystery.
Big gray squirrels literally swarmed upon
all the landings, and every one of them
had a big nut of some kind between his
paws. The main supply of nuts was
stored in an unused garret, where some
forgotten teanant had placed them long
ago. The squirrels arranged themselves
in gangs on each landing, and those at
the top of the house carried the nuts,
one by one, out of the garret, and sent
them rolling down the stairs to the next
landing, where they were received by
the gaug waiting for them, and pushed
down another flight. In this way they
reached an old cellar, which was evi
dently the squirrels’ storeroom, for it
was well stocked with nuts. They were
transferring the supply from attic to base
ment. The nuts were very dry and hard,
and as they bounded from stair to stair
in their descent the echoing noise they
made on the heavy, seasoned boards
sounded loud and threatening in the
night.
The farmer and his wife quickly
routed the squirrels, and on the follow
ing day they cleared the nuts out of the
garret. They have remained undis
turbed in the ancient mansion since the
first night of their occupancy.— Mew
