I Will IJe Worthy of ft.
I may not reach the heights I seek,
M? untried strength may fail me;
Or, half-way up the mountain peak.
Fierce tempests may a.-sail me
But though that p ace I never gain.
Herein lies comfort for my pain —
I will he wort hy of it.
I may not triumph in success,
Despite my earnest labor;
I may not gras;, results that blesi
Toe efforts of my neighbor.
But though my g >a! I never see,
This thought shall always dwell with me—
I will he worthy of it.
The golden glory of love's light
May naver fall on my way;
My path may always lead through night,
Like some deserted by-way.
But though life's dearest joy I miss
There lies a nameless j y in this—
I will be worthy of it.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
A SERENADE.
“Matty’s got a beau!” said Mrs. Hall,
in a sort of stage whisper, as she spread
out the various sections of her half
completed patchwork bel-quilt before
the admiring eyes of Mr3. Peckham, her
neighbor. ‘ Keepin’ reg’iar company I”
“La me!” said Mrs. Peckham, at
once losing all intero>t in tho “Irish
ch in” pattern aud staring full in the
face of Mrs. Hall. “Who is it?”
“I dunno’s I’d orter tod.”
“Oh, yes, do! I won’t mention it to
a livin’ soul. You liadu’t orter Lev
mysteries from me, as has been a neigh¬
bor to you so long.”
“You’re sure you won’t tell?”
“Yes, sartin sure.’’
“Well, then, it s Martin Paley.”
“Well, I never!” said Mrs. Peckham.
“Me aud Louisy, we’ve wondered this
long time why Martin didn’t marry and
settle down, with such a nice farm as
lie’s got—leal store carpets on the floor,
and a new cookiu’-stovc, with a water
boiler to the back on’t, aud everything.
And a nice, good-tempered fedow, too,
as ever lived!” she added, with a sigh.
“I suppose,” said Mrs. Hall, with
modest piide, “it ain't every g.rl would
suit Murtin. ’
“Day set yet?” said Mrs. Peckham,
her spectacle glasses all a-ghtter with
curiosity.
“Bless me, it ain’t got so fur a? that
yeti’ declared Mrs. Hall. “I didn’t
say he'd propose, did 1? I only said he
was cornin’ Sunday even in’s.”
“Oh!” said Mrs. Peckham.
“But ot course,” added the mother
of Matty, “everybody knows what that
means. And t o next time Ig> to
Bud port 1 shall bo sort o’ lookin’ out
for bargains in dove-colored silks.”
“I supposed it would be just as well,”
said Mrs. Peckham, wistfully.
“Louisy huin't no notion of gettin’
settled, has she?'' hazarded M s. Hall,
in the height of her satisfaction.
“Not that I know of.”
“Well, you mustn’t give up,’’sail
Mrs. Hall. “I’ve known girls marry —
and marry well, too—after they was
older than Louisy is.”
Mrs. Peckham bit her lip.
“Louisy ain’t so very old!” said she.
“She’s thirty, aiu’t she?”
“Yes; but I don’t call that dying of
old age!” retorted Mrs. Peckham.
“Matty aiu’t but three-and-twenty,”
complacently observed Mrs. Hall.
“But our family always did marry
early.”
Mrs. Peckham rose.
“I guess I'd belter bo going,” said
she, n little nettled. “That walk across
the niedder is awful hot alter tho sun
gets high.”
Mrs. Hull looked after her with a
half-suppressed smile as she trudged
down the real, a subdued brown speck
on the summer brghtaesi of the land¬
scape.
“She’sdreadful jealous’cau oLouisy’s
booked for single blessedness 1 ’ said
sho, chuckling. ‘ Louisy, indeed—a
washed-out, red-haired old maid! No
more to be compare 1 with our Matty
than a cabbage-stalk with a rose! ’
While Matilda herself, dusting the
furniture in the best room, looked crit¬
ically at the well-wora figures on the
eai p :t.
“Ma,” said she, ‘Wo must have a
new carpet this fall. This aiu’t hardly
defeat when a girl has steady com¬
pany.”
“Idunno what your father’ll say,
Matty,” said Mrs. II ill, coming in from
the kitchen with a fried cruller impaled
on the end of her fork.
“Pa hasn’t no business to be so
stingy,” said Matilda.
She was a b!ack-cyed, red-cheeked
girl, with ebon hair growing low on her
forehead, and a certain air of domineer¬
ing command which comported well
with her clear, p n c- an i- white beauty.
Mrs. Had looked admiringly at her
daughter.
“I guess likely he’ll let you have
your own way,” said she. “You al
ways was a great ha id to coax, Just
taste o' this 'ego fried cake, Matty. 1
ain’t certain whether I’ve got enough
cinwamon ipto tho dough.”
Meanwhile, Mrs. Peckham had
reached the littie wooden house on the
edge of the swamp, where her grand -
daughter Louisa was banning out the
clothes of the week’s wash—a tall, slight
girl, with large gray eyes, rather a col
orless complexion, and liair of that
bright Rubens gold that Jlrs. Peckham
bad miscalled “red.”
“It's true, Louisy,” said the old wo¬
man, rather spiritlessly.”
“What'strue, granny?”
“About Mtrtia Paley and Matty
Hall."
“Well,” with a quick twitch of the
upper lip, “why shouldn't it be true!”
“I sort o’ thought one time, L ouisy,
1 that he was partial to you?”
Lou sa laughed, not a bad imitation
j of careless in inference.
‘ Partial! ’ said she. ‘-He called a
few times, that was all. I ain’t a
beauty, you know, like Matilda Hall.
But when she came ia to put to boil
the frugal dinner, her eyes looked sus
piciousfy "away, red; and after the dishes her were
cleaiei she went up to own
room, took a withered rose-bud or
out of her little Testament ami
them out of the window, murmuring to
herself:
“What a fool I have been (o keep
them so long!”
The pleasant dusk of the nest sunset
was purpling the hids when Mr- Hall
called shrilly to her daughter from the
spare chamber up sta.rs:
“Matty! Matty! there’s ono o’them
bothering hand-organ men cornin’ up
the path. Scad him away-quick!
Mrs. Deacon Dolby lost one of b*
grandmothers silver teaspoons last
week, and— ■ i
Matilda, who was ironing out her one
embroidered pocket-handkerchief, set
the iron back on the stove and ran to
obey the maternal behest.
The broom, unfortunately, wai not
in its place, ns uiua!, but the kitchen
mop was tho next handiest weapon that
presented itself. She caught it up a ? 1
brandished it at the doer like a mod
cm Amazon.
“Be off about your business!” she
cried, in a voice to tho full as fhrill
and sharp as that of h:r mother, •We
don’t want no shiftless loafers about
here!”
The wandering musician hesitated,
but Matilda brooked no delay.
‘‘Clear out, Isay!” she cried, dex
trously flinging the implement of house¬
hold skill at the marauder.
It whirled once or twice through the
air, and finally buried itself in the
hedge of gooseberry bushes beyond.
The man with the organ beat a hasty
retreat.
Matty returned to her ironing, and
Mrs. I la’ l laughel aloud from her van¬
tage point above stairs.
“I guess you settled his business for
him, Matty,” said she, gleefully.
“I’ve no patience with no such vaga¬
bonds,” slid Matilda, folding up tho
handkerchief.
Louisa Peckham was working button¬
holes in a vest—it was the way site
earned her living—by the light of a
shaded lam]) some twenty minutes
later, when there came a knock at the
door, and who should walk in but Mar¬
tin Palov.
“Good-evening, Louisa,” sad he.
“I didn’t know as I should find you at
home.”
“1 ain’t often away lrom home,” said
Louisa, coloring a soft flesh-pink, that
made her for tho moment almost beauti¬
ful. “Sit down, Martin, won’t you?”
“I can’t stay but a little while,’’ said
Martin. “I've corao on an errand. I
want to know if you will marry me,
Louis y.”
“Marry you!”
The needle dropped from Louisa’s iin
gers.
“I know it must seem sudden-like.”
apologized Martin, “but I’ve made up
my mind sudden-like. A man always
does, I suppose, at the last. Will you
marry me, Louisy?”
“Why—VI s—I suppose so,” shyly
acquiesced Louisa, protending to search
for the missing needle—“if you really
mean it, Martin, that ij. ”
“I do,” sai l Martin, “with nil my
heart and soul. ”
“But I thought you was keeping com¬
pany with Matilda Hall?”
“I did go there consul’able,” con¬
fessed Martin, “but I sort o’ suspicion
she wouldn’t suit me like you would,
Louisy. So it’s a bargain, is it?”
And when he went away, he stopped
a minute to take something out of the
big cluster of black currant bushes by
the gate.
“Why, what’s that?” said Louisa
who hal followed him out. “A
trunk?”
‘ N-no,” confessed Martin, reddening
even in the starlight. “It’s a hand-or¬
gan. ”
“A—hand- organ 1”
“Well,’’ said Martin, laughing rather
shamefacedly, “I may as well own up,
Louisy. It won’t do for me to have any
secret from you, I s’pose, arter tonight.
But there was a poor, wornout Italian
fellow came to my house this evening
with his monkey, and sai l the ltadn’
had no luck all day. And so I give
him some supper and a bed in the barn,
and I just borrowed the orgin fora lit
tie while. I though: it would be a
good idea to serenade with.”
“To serenade! But, Martin, you
diJn’t serenade me! ’
“N-no,” said Martin. “I changed
my mind. But the tu»;a are real pretty,
Liuis,-. There’s ‘Annie Laurie,’ and
‘Home, Sweet Home,’ and ‘Twicken¬
ham Fery, ’ and lots like that.
Don't you want me to play some for
you;
“Dj!” said L>uiiy. “I'm real fond
of music.”
Out there in tin starlight, the obl
fadiiuaed strains of music sounded so
plaintively that even Grandmother
Peckham opened her upstairs casement
to listen.
l Louisa h»<l never been “serenaded”
before. She thought it was like a page
; out of the “Arabian Nights. ’
And honest Martin did not regret his
j hospitality to the poor, tire 1 organ
grinder, who, with his monkey, Jay
coiled up, fast asleep, on the bay in the
barn-loft at Paley Farm.
But Matty Hail’s “steady company
did not come back to her. She could
not imagine why, when she dressed her
>elf evening after evening, and sat in
the best room by the big lamp with tho
silk shade, nobody rewarded her per¬
sistency.
And one afternoon Mrs. Peckham
came over with a iir of Morelia cherries
which she bad j “-. preserved.
“I knowed you like preserves,” said
she, “Here’s one of our'n. Br-th*
way, L ui-v was married yesterday.”
“Married!” cchoel Mrs. Hall.
• •Yes—quite quiet-like,” said the
grandmother. “To Mirtin Paley.”
Mrs. Hall turned a dull tallowy
white. She could hardly believe her
ears.
And all the time Martin Paley was
saying to himself:
“Haven’t lhal a lucky escapa from
marrying a woman with a temper like
that!”
There are soma mysteries which will
remain forever unsolved; an l to the
day of her death Matilda Hall will
pjbbably never know how it was that
9he failed to become Mrs. Martin Pa
ley. —Saturday Aright.

Facts About Fish.
The light ha, a great deal to do with
the color of li.-h. Small-mouthed black
bass caught out of holes six or eight
feet deep are dark in color. On
placed in the aquarium they change to
a light mottled green. The channel
catfish, contrary as usual, come out of
the river a pale greenish blue. After
they have bee# exposed to the light of
te aqaanum ey urn o to co or o
blue black velvet. The famed fish of
the Mammoth Cave show every indica¬
tion of being catfish for generations re¬
moved from all light. They have no
color at all, their bodies being
transparent. Small-mouthed black bass
are by all means the best aquarium pets.
Besides being the most lively aud intel¬
ligent, they arc the most hardy. The
large-mouthed bass makes his homo in
quiet ponds, and he is not fitted for the
fierce contests of aquarium life, fie is
easily wounded and his iujaries usuaPy
prove fatal. The small-mouthed bass
easily recovers from being caught in the
upper or lower lip with a hook. A
similar wound on a catfish generally
festers and often kills. Tho carp is a
pretty good fellow. In the hustle for
food he generally gets left. The rea-on
he does not feel on minnows in his
natural state is not, as is generally sup¬
posed, because ho does not iike them,
but for the more substantial reason that
he cannot catch them.

Three Rude Scamps Well Answered.
Two or three idle young men were
lounging around a street corner the
other evening just as the flown town
stores weresending home their employes.
“Let’s have some fun with lhe girls,”
said the ringleader of the trio, “See
that girl in tlic front’seat of the grips

To Prevent Mosquito Bites.
Bjil a quart of tar until it becomes
quite thin, remove the clothing, aud be¬
fore the tar becomes perfectly cool, with
a brood, fia: brush, apply a smooth coat¬
ing to the entire surface of the body aud
limbs. While the tar remains soft tho
insects may become entangled in its
treacherous fold-, thus 1 ecoming per¬
fectly harmless; but it will soon form a
hard, smooth coating over the entire
body, entirely impervious to their bites.
Should it crack at the knee or elbow
j /ints, it is only necessary to retouch
the fractured spots. The whole coat
should be reaewe 1 every four weeks.

HOW TO PROTECT CLOTHING FROM MOTHS.
Mere than 130 years ago, Reaumur,

that both were equally destructive,but
]t wag QecC4S t0 close the rooms vcry
tightly , , and , , kesp the fumes , very dense ,
in them for 24 hours to obtain satisfac
tory results. C'he ts of cedar or sprigs
of this tree are so disagreeable to them
that they will not deposit their eggs
where this odor is at all strong; but
should the eggs be laid before the gar¬
ments are packed away, the odor will
not prevent the hatching of the eggs
nor the destructive work of the larvae
afterward. Clothing may also be pro¬
tected from moths by packing it in
stout cotton or paper bags made per¬
fectly tight, but this must be done be¬
fore the moths appear on the wing.—

Falmistrv Has Rules.
Palmistry, as practiced principally by
the gypsies and even loss perfectly by a
few unprincipled or fortuuo-telling, misguided pretend¬
ers, as a means of has
never been others recognized by intelligent
artists as than a pastime or a
harmless delusion, and at the present
day the art is used almost while entirely in
delineation of character, the for¬
tune telling feature is left to the igno
rant, the curious, aud the superstitious.
It must not be inferred from this that
the fortune telling palmists, read and espe¬
cially the gypsies the hand at
hazard. This would be very far from
the truth, for nearly every one who
pays any attention to this line of the
art works in accordance with more or
taken—would read suba'antially pair the
same fortune from the same of J
handsat different tunes —not from luem
0 ,. y ( ,{ the hands, but from the appliea
tion of whatever rules he might be in
the habit of using. More than this,
any number of well-instrueted gypsies
would read substantially the same for
tune from any pair of bands, within a
few days of each other, without any
consultation or collusion with each I
other.
No one has two hands alike. The
left hand that is, the less active hand
shows more nearly than the right
hand one's natural or inherited peetl'i
arities, while the right hand, or the one
more active, always characteristics. exhibits more fully
the acquired This dif¬
ference in hands, which is universal, in¬
forms the palmist as to which way the
man or woman is growing, and is there¬
fore one of the keys by which to unlock
many of the loss easily solved mysteries
of the soul. Hands differ indefinitely
in size, ranging from the extremes of
largo and small, and this difference ex¬
tends to the three dimensions, so that
hands may be nnywhere from long io
short, from broad t ) narrow, and from
thick to thin, and usually each pair of
hands differ one from the other in these
three particulars.
On l’lkes Peak.
A traveler who climbed the snow-cov¬
ered mountain one day in July, found
the ollicer in charge of the Signal Ser¬
vice station melting snow. “Even in
the heat of summer,” he raid, “there is
always enough snow lo furnish all the
water needed.” “Does not life become
weary and desolate here, so far from the
world?” “So much so that I sometimes
fear it will drive me crazy. My dut.es
are light; they require only an occasional
inspection of the instruments, The
lest of the time I can only lead, Too
much reading becomes wearisome. Some¬
times I itand at the window with my
telescope. The wind without is keen

houses of Colorado Springs, twenty then
miles away, the visitors sitting in
shirt-sleeves, sipping iced drinks to keep
cool, and ladies walking about in white
summer robes. I lower the glass; the
rummer scene is gone. Green trees, an¬
imal life, men and women, fade away
like creatures in a dream, and I am the
only living thing in a world of eternal
ice and snow aud scieuce.”
