Not what wo do, not wbat we say, speaks
tor us
To flee souls b»re, or to the Throne of
Light,
The words and acts be fair, gods will abhor
ns
And men distrust, if our hearts are not
right.
Our secret aim, our hidden wish or longing,
Our silent thoughts of men or worlds
above—
These are the tell-tale forces that come
thronging
To point to us as on*s to loathe or love.
Our thoughts are od^rs, an \ we cannot seal
them,
So cloe with actions but they will creep
out;
And delicately fashione 1 souls will feel
them,
And know them sweet or vile, beyond a
doubt.
Good deeds fall dead if selfish causes guide
thorn,
Good words fall flat that tut from lips
have birth;
And eloquent and nobl 1 seems, beside them,
The silence or inaction of true worth.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Withdrawn Correspondence.
BV C. Jt. HAUGEU.
Jlorlon Piazier belonged to the staff
of one of those ambition? Western sheets
—the G.uten Da ly Gazette. To be
sure, lie was only the Dobbvillc corres¬
pondent of the paper, but he was as
proud of even that slight connection
with its pages as though he had a snug
place in the editorial chair.
Morton’s communications were always
headed by the editor (who was also
proof-reader, busineis manager, and
local rustler) “Dobbville Dot?, from our
special correspondent.”
Morton had hard work to keep from
crying with admiration over that al¬
literative liealmg, the first time it
adorned his l.torary effort; but at last ho
became used to it and it did not worry
him or unduly elate his susceptible heart
andbrain. His signature wa? “Wander¬
ing Mac,” and he was known by that
title a'most as well ns by hi? own name,
for he ha 1 acted a? the Gazette’s
“special c orespondent” for many years.
He went around to tho little rural parties
and pleasure meetings with a wondrously
wise and knowing look upon hi? face,
a? thi ugh the destinies of the nation de¬
pended upon hi? beck and call.
Tiro editor of the Giz tte ha i iin
pressed it upon him that tho paper
must have the new?. “Everything,”
he had remarked, in stentorian tones,
when one day Morton ha 1 trembli ig'.y
entered the stuffy little sanctum at Gar
ten. “Everything hinges upon getting
(he news, and getting it quick.”
This admonishment so impressed the
young aspirant for j mrna istic fame,
that a week after tlu visit he in;i!ed a
touch ng obituary of a scri, u ly ill
child, not expected to live au hour,
to the paper, trusting that tho in¬
fant would die bef. re the paper was
issued. The child however, recovered,
and is alive today, a roistering lad who
delights to show that tender tribute to
his memory (and it is a touching one)
ending: “The bereave 1 parents have
the sympathy of their scores of friends
in this, their great sorrow, but of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven. ” The way
the editor of tho Gazette unbent him¬
self to rail at Morton after that “break”
made him more careful thereafter.
Fourth of July in Dobbville, iu 1878,
was an occasion that still live) iu the
memory of those who wero fortunate
enough to he citizen? of tho town at
that eventful period. Nut only was the
Nation’s birthday anniversary properly
celebrated, hut a clrcu ? held forth upon
the prairie north of the Montezuma Ho¬
tel. When two such great events coin¬
cide, it is enough to turn the heads of
any people.
It would have been hard to finl a
happier man that day than “Wandering
Mac.” lie had been graciously present¬
ed with two “comp?” for the circus by
the manager, who had soon found out
what M uton was, and when at seven
o’clock ho stepped into the parlor of
his betrothed, Miss Marion Ueueal, it
was with a perfectly self-satisfied air.
Marion added to the perfection of the
state of his mind by allowing him to
kiss her de icately-blushing cheek—yes,
she did more; she kissed him in return,
and what more could a young man ask?
Tlsis particular youig mm might
have asked for a repetition of the per¬
formance had it not been that Roy, the
scapegrace brother, came tearing into
the room just at that moment, wi.h all
his Hi-year-old vehemence.
“On, say, sis,” he cried excitedly.
‘•Where’s my collar and clean shirt?”
“I don’t know. Up stairs I guess,”
was the impatient reply and then the
sisted added:
“I don’t know what ails R y, today,
lie has been getting everything of his
together iu Ms room. It’s tlie Fourth,
too.”
She looked inquiringly at her lover,
but he wa? a.'miring her face, and not
thinking of romping brother?, so there
was no answer there, T wice during
the evening did she speak of Roy a
queer actions; once while the clown w*a 3
perpetrating some of his hideous joke?,
and once while she *;d .Morton were
sitting ou the piazza with arms en¬
twined.
The first iime she had apparently not
been heard and the second she had been
answered with a kiss, so she was no
wiser than before.
Morton Fiazier thought of it though,
the uext day, for the events of the night
were such as to bring the circumstance
vividly to his mind.
About 3 o'clock on the morning of
the 5th, a fire broke out in the great
Rockwell block. More than $50,000
went up in smoke. The whole town
| was out to see the sight, and to beip
lesslv mourn the event, The Rockwell
block had been built in the “boom
dars, two years lie fore, and though L
was out of all proportion to the town,
everybody was sorry to see it destroyed,
“W mderimr Aloe” wa? among the
3 Vx«
first the ground, . and j as soon oi
on ha 1
had seen the fire will under way he
roused the telegraph operator and
up
seat this message, which appeared as a
“special 1 in the morning’s Gazette:
Dobbville, July 5th.—A terrible fire
look place her 3 morning. It star tel in
Rockwell’s store an 1 bur rieul into Fry’s gro
pery; then into the in uranee company’s
office. The flame* leap-? I 40 or 50 feet iu
height. Everything is excitement.
The next morning revealed several
thing? worthy of mention in this narra¬
tion. The smoking ruin? were sur¬
rounded by score? of men and boys,
busy discussing the cause of the fire.
And they te'd of the probability that it
wa? au act of incendiarism; that it
started iu an out-of-the-way place; that
but one theory wa? hell regarding the
firebugs; an 1 their conversation always
came round lo the m/sterioul word—
“Spearmen.”
Then somebody would explain that
the Shearmen wa? a b>dy o' rough boys
and young men who gathered in un¬
canny places at nigh: to plan deeds of
misch cf and meanness. Another
would add that the Spearmen had a
particular spite against Rockwell for
having them arrested once for a trivial
offence. A third had heard Roy Heueal
boast that be would “g;t even.” A
fourth had just found that Roy had not
been home the night before, and win
yet missing, though U s widowed mother
and his sister were searching every¬
where.
All these scrap? of information were
united into a complete history, and the
ucw 3 went over town that Roy Ren oat
had set fire to the Rockwell block to
“get even” with the proprietor for ar¬
resting the Spearmen, and had fled the
country.
Morton Fraz er was in uespatr. At
ten o’el >ck lie war m ,-t on the street by
the Western Union messenger boy, who
hande 1 him a dispatch. He tried not
to look self-conscious as he read it, but
the effort wa? a failure. It said:
Garten, July 5.
Morton Frazier, Dobbvilla:—S m l full
account of tire by mail at noon. Insurance,
loss, cause and everything. Gazette.
1 say Frazier was in despair. He had,
of course, heard the report? in circula¬
tion regarding his brother-to-be It >y,
and yet how could he blast the boy’s
good Earns by sending the rumor to the
Gault!. II; must decide quickly, lor
the on y mail train tint eou d get his
letter to the paper in time for its next
issue lef. at noon, and no.v it wai past
eleven.
While he sat in hit office, pondering
ever the matter, there was a great bat
He fought between his great love for
news and his great love for Marion,
Added to the first was the stentorian,
“We want the news and all the news,’
of thee liter, and to the second, the
fair feature? of hit sweetheart. Which
should he ob 1 •, Cupid or Mammon?
lie reflecte l that the Daily Hazard, the
GazetlA riva', would “scoop” it?
competitor, unless lie furnished the re
quire! information, and res o' u'ely put
his pea to paper, and ground out a
heart-rending accrua. of the con flag r a.
train carried tin correspondence to U ir
ten.
When tlie train had gone, lie sat in
hia ofiics studying over tho matter.
Had he done right; Perhaps the boy
was really innocent, if si, lie had do.io
tho worst tiling he could have to harm
him; he had committed tho sin that lies
at the door of every newspaper writer's
sanctum, tlie shattering of a fellow
being's pc-ace of mind and perhaps repu¬
tation, by a careless word or phrase or a
bit of uriKubitantial rumor, glowingly
writteu up.
As he p red over the matter there was
a tap at tho door, and upon opening it
he was greeted by Marion, her face
wreathed with smile?, and such evi¬
dently kissable lips that he had no
hesitancy in—-well, it is not uceossary
to go into details.
“Oh, Mort," she gasped, after a
moment, “where have you been today?
1 wanted to you much. '
see so
Frazier remembered that he had not
been to tho home of his betrothed, and
knew that it was because be doubted
her brother’s innocence.
“You don’t know,” she rattled on,
without giving him time to respond,
“how worried mother and I have ueea.
Roy was not to be found, and that hor¬
rid old maid, Mis? Semert, came over
with the most awful twaddle about his
being suspected of setting tho Rockwell
block on fire, aud all that.” (Her lis¬
tener felt his cheeks grow pale, but
Marion did not notice it.) “Of course
we knew he was all right, and, sure
enough, he came in at dinner time. He
went home with Uncle Rudolph out in
the country after the show last night
aud only j ist got back. He took all
his clothes, for he’s going to work for
Uncle Rudolph to earn some money. 1
was down town, and thought I’d tell
yon so that you cou.d say so to the
men.” There wa? a wistful look in the
irirl s eyes that told how thoughtful she
was for'her brother s reputation, and
how much she depended upon her lover
to set things right.
As she took her departure, Morton
realized that he must do some quick
work. First, he must kill that cor¬
respondence, which was by this time in
the Gazette t forms ready to go to press.
j Second, he niu-t have some good excuse
to give the editor for doing so.
From svhat he knew of the Gazette's
publication hour, he judged that he had
half au hour for investigation. Like a
malntan he tors arounl the streets an
animated interrogation point—asking
| every man he met what had started been heard
ot the incendiaries. All out
with the old story about “They say the
Spearmen-but they were shut off
with, “That’s all a lie," and rushed on.
It was no use- He must simply with
i 1 draw the correspondence. When he
j had but ten minutes more he stepped
into the telegraph office aud sent these
words :
j | Dobbville, July 5.
Gazette, Garten - Don t publish Dobbville
corn si«r,deuce. Roy R ueal is innocent.
M Frazieh.
The editor of the Gazette was too
j good a newspaper mao not to obey luch
a summons even with the chance of get¬
ting “scooped.” The correspondence
did not appear nor did the Hazard have
a word regarding the’ matter.
Two months after, a q tiet wedding
took pi ic3 at Dobbvillc and “Wander¬
ing Mac” and Marion were chief par
ticipants in the ceremony. In the same
issue of the Gazette that contained the
very flowery account ...... of thc-tr marriage
(Morton wrote it) there appeared the
confession of a tramp arrested in a
nei •’ 'hborinc 1 ° c itr y ' He was dviu- y o> and •
befora breathing his last owned up to
having set on fire the Rockwell block,
having accompanied the circus.
Morton read the confession to his
bride on the second day of the lionev
moon, and told her the story of h
withdrawn correspondence.
“Oh, Morton,” said the lady, re
proachfuliy, “if that had been published
1 would never have married you.”
"I knew it, dear," returned he, plac
idly, and I think the Gaz tle editor de
serves a piece of wedding cake for kill¬
ing it, don t you?”
She did; and the Gazette force ad¬
journed for fifteen minute? the next day
to munch fruit ca te, macaroon? and an¬
gel food. — Van \es Diode.

stories were tol 1 over after
cuff Cl cigars the other day showing tho
power of man’s will. One wa? of a
young officer in the English army, who
war peculiarly stubborn and irascible.
He had been con ft red to hik bod after a
severe attack of the heart and was un¬
able to move. lbs physician asked ono
of his fellow- 1 ffi t'rs to warn him that
he would never get out of be 1 again,
that he might arraago his affair? before
death. When the sick man was told
what the doctor had said he arose in bis

stranger departed, and in du: courso of
time the pawnbroker tried lo di-sp s; of
them. He exhibited the diamonds to a
well-known dealer, who said if they
would stand a test they wore easily
worth * 150 J. The stoue.? were rc
moved from their settings and placed
in a bottle of ale ihol. T.ien they svere
shaken for about five minutrs, taken
cut and careful y cleanM. From tiie
beautiful bluish white they ha l become
as yellow a? the Chinese flag, and wero
not worth over $75. Tue expert said
afterwards: “Tnese stone? were paint¬
ed. Too process is a very simple one.
A small piece of indelible pencil is di?
solved in a teacupful of water, Tlie
yellow diamond is then painted with a
fine camel’s-hair b ush dipped in the
preparation, and ths stone is allowed t»
dry. The p tint will wear off in time,
but nothing will remove it quickly but
alci hsl. No reputable dealer will have
any thing to do with such stone?, but we
have to keep a pretty sh rp look-out for
just uch tricks as that one I exposed a
few moments ago .”—hi Travel er.

Ant? at Play.
Mr. Bates, in his “Naturalist on the
Amazons,” lias much to say i;b >ut a
certain species of foraging ant.?. They
travel in armies of countless thousands,
and, as it were, drive everything before
them. Tho unlucky human pade-trian,
according to our author, has notiiing to
do but “to run for it.” They are of
course very industrious, but Air. Bates
says:
Their life i? not all work, for I fre¬
quently saw them very leisurely em¬
ployed in a way that looked like recre¬
ation. When t’nis happened, tlie place
was always a sunny nook in the forest.
Tlie main coiumu of the army and the
branch columns, at these times, were in
their ordinary relative positions; but,
instead of pressing forward eagerly, and
plundering riglit and left, they seemed
to have been all smitten with a sudden
fit of laziness. Same were walking

It was a curiou? spectacle and one
well calculated to increase one's amaze
ment at tho similarity between the ac¬

whom we call “rational.” They had
the appearance of being simple indui
gence in idle amusement.
Have these little creatures, then, an
excess of energy Leyon l what is ro¬
quired for labors als .lutely necessary
to the welfare or their species, an 1 do
they thus expend it in mere rpjrtive
ness, l,ke young lambs or kittens, or in
idle whim? like “rational beings?” It
is probable that these hours of reiaxa
tion and cleaning may be indispensable
to the effective performance of thsir
harder labors, but whilst looking at
thern the conclusion that they were en
gaged merely in p ay was irresistible.

The Nervous Horae.
“Finely-bred, intelligent horses,” said
» trainer, recently, “arc often nervous.
They are quick to uotiee, quick to take
alarm, quick to d > what stmts to them,
in moment* of sudden terror, necessary
to escape from possible harm, from
something they do not understand.
1 hat is what makes them shy, bolt and
run away. It may be that a sheet of
white paper £ in the roadway seems to the
uerv0l , s orse a yawning chasm, the open
’.rent of a baby carriage the jaws of ft
Iragon ready to devour him, and a nnul
bicyolo 8omc terrifying sort of fly
ino devil without wiugs. Directly,
however, he becomes quite familiar with
objects, he is entirely indifferent to
them. Therefore, when your horse shies
*t anything, make him acquainted with with
it, let him Smell it, touch it Ins
sensitive upper lip, and look closely at it.
He may not leant all in one lesson, but
continue the lessons, and you will cure
your horse of all nervousness.”
llees ns Ventilators.
A close observer of the habits of the
habits of tlie bee fays: “1 cannot say
whether it it is generally known that in
India, and I ^believe in other tropical
countries, there are in every hive what
one can only describe as ventilating bees.
I mean that during the hot season two or
thr.e bees post themselves, on their
heads, at the entrance of the hive and
fan the interior with the iucissant mo¬
tion of their wings, They are relieved
at intervals by fresh bees, who carry on
the process. They are kept to their duty
by a sort of patrol of bees to insure their
ceaseless activity. This is a well authen¬
ticated fact.”
