twilight.
Staff, sweet, it is tho twilight hour-~
Thy voice brings rest and peaces
And unto theo is given the power
To bid all discord cease.
Let day fade with its load of sorrows,
Now is enough for me j.
I care not for the coming morrows,
For they may banish thee.
Oh, that this eve could last forever,
Ambition's sun be set,
For with thee near my heart would uover
The busy world regret.
Only count us as Love's Immortals,
Lot each be one in soul;
Bid Night halt at the western portals,
And Death collect no toll ;
Then twilight would be fraught with splendor,
Bathed in Faith's goldon stream ;
And each to each all love would render—
Sing, sweet, and let me dream.

A SHOPPING EXPEDITION.
IIE report started
> in Blake’s store.
'V V To disbelieve a re¬
port that started in
___ Blake’s store was
»n unheard of
t heresy at the Cor
ners. So, astonish
tog its this was, the
Corners received it
■ without a shadow
of doubt. It hardly needed to be
known that Mrs. Goodrich herself was
the authority.
Sho was down at the store Saturday
afternoon as usual to make her weekly
purchases. Anson Blake, who never
failed when groceries were purchased
to conduct the customer to tho other
side of the store to look at the dry
goods, and vice versa, endeavored to
lend Mrs. Goodrich over to look at
some new winter goods.
Then it came out. With a bit of
pardonable pride sho lot him know
that she had no need to look nt fall
goods in WiU; - ,. Cor: ir in Witham

who were not present in the morning
interviewed her in the evening on the
subject. They were so numerous then
and kept her so long that Jerry Down¬
ing, waiting patiently for her out si do,
concluded sho hud gore out the back
cloor on purpose to cut him, and walked
home with another girl. His mother,
who had not been on speaking terms
with Mrs. Goodrich since that good
lady made some remarks on the strength
of tho butter Mrs. Downing brought
to the minister’s donation last winter,
let Jerry know when he got homo of
Hannah’s intended trip, and suggested
that a girl who couldn’t buy her winter
dress at the Corners, but must go to
New York for it, was too fino to be a
farmer’s wife. Jerry went to bed in
despair, while Hannah was crying her¬
self to sleep, wondering how she could
have offended him.
i The next afternoon, when she came
in from her school, Hannah was more
than surprised to find Mrs. Downing
in the sitting room with her mother.
As the visitor had not been in their
houso for a year, Hannah xvas sure that
she boro some mesBage from Jerry,,
and greeted her accordingly, wonder¬
ing meanwhile, why her mother looked
so grim, and knit as furiously as if the
whole family were barefooted and suf¬
fering.
i It was no message from Jerry, liow r -
cver, that brought Mrs. Downing there
to-day. The lad xvas plowing in a
distant field, and did not know of his
mother’s call.
After ... her . ..... . tie remark . last . . night . w
about Hannah s city shoppmg tour
she had thought best to keep this visit
a secret from him
I was just telling your ma, ’ she
began when Hannah, flushed and ex
pectant was seated, that I d been
down to Blake s to get my winter
dress and that there want a thing
there 1 d put on my back.
Oh, not a thing! Hannah assented
qrnckly • 1 m going to New York for !
xmr winter things
ho I heard, and I was telling your
mathat as long as you are going to
town and going a-shoppm, buying one
more dress wouldn t be no more trim
Lie to you.
Buying a whole wardrobe for Jer
ry s mother would have been a de- j
‘Oh no trouble-a pleasure!
Hannah cried, despite her mother s
froW ”' i
Ihere . s that , brown merino I got
three years ago last fall,” Mrs. Down
ing went on. “The wear I’ve had out j
of it just beats all. I’ve worn it steady :
wherever I went. I was telling your 1
ma that I didn’t know as I could be j
suited better than to have another just
like it. So, if you won’t mind getting
me ten yards of dark brown merino— !
say, about eighty cents a yard—-or you !
might go as high as eighty-five—I’d be
mtich obliged, and xvill do the same by
you.”
“Don’t mention it,” cried Hannah, 1
taking out her notebook and adding t
the small item to the long family list. !
“The money’ll be all right,” added i
Mrs. Downing.
“Of course it will,” Hannah laughed,
“Going to stay long?”
“From Thursday to Monday only,
I can't leave my school longer. ”
“I’U l»e over, then, Monday night
after it.”
“Waal, I must say,” Mrs. Goodrich
burst out, as the door closed after Mrs.
Downing, “she’s got brass! The idea ,
of her asking you to lug a dress up
from the city for her ? I didn’t give
her any encouragement when she spoke
to me about it, I can tell you. ”
“Oh, mother, I wouldn’t refuse for
the world, ” Hannah returned. “How
cou’ l I?”
3 was over. Mrs. Goodrich was
washing the dishes. Hannah was dry¬
ing them, when the kitchen door was
unceremoniously opened. A tall, gaunt
woman, with a commanding air, as if
she were at the head of a disorderly
regiment, marched in. It was Mrs.
Moore.
“I was down to Mrs. Downing’s,”
she began, without a small prelude of
a greeting, “fur a dish o’ tea an’ a few
minutes’ set, an’ she was tellin’ me that
Hannah was goin’ to tho city this
week.”
“Yes, on Thursday,” Hannah
answered. “Will you sit down?”
“I hain’t no time fur a set. Mary
she’s gone over to her grandmother’s,
and there ain’t nobody to hum to git
Moore’s supper. Mrs. Doxvning was
saying you was goin’ to git her a brown
mereener. ”
“Yes.”
“I s’poso it won’t be no trouble, as
you’re buyin’, to buy me a black
mereener, too, at the same time?”
“None whatever.” Hannah’s smile
•was getting hollow.
“Hoxv long be you goin’ to stay?”
“Till Monday.”
i » I’ll be round Monday evenin’ with
the money. You can git me seventy
cent, stuff, about sex r en yards."
She departed with as little ceremony
as sho had entered.
“1 told you so—I told you so,” said
Mrs. Goodrich, as she lighted a candle
and went down cellar with the milk.
“Ef you do fur one you’ll have to do
fur the whole town.”
Miss Brown, the dressmaker, dropped
in a little later.
“I heerd only just now that you’re
goin’ to York,” she said, as if to apolo¬
gize for not coming sooner, “and that
you’re goin’ to get some things for
Mrs. Downing.”
“Yes, a dress,” Hannah returned,
while her mother gave a tremendous
“Ahem.”
“So I heerd. I don’t get to York
very often myself, and I’m afraid I’m
getting a little behind the fashions. It,
don’t pay, you know, for me to got be
hind,” she simpered. Miss Brown was
more noted for her simpers than for
the correctness of her styles.
“So I made bold to step round and
nsk you, us you’re goin the city
anyway, an’ will be lookin’ ut thefash
“1 To shall juslAis^look certainly study fiir the awr fashions ; v
well for my own benefit.”
“I can’t say exactly how many pat¬
terns I’d liko you to buy me. ”
“Oh, you want me to buy patterns,
do you?” Hannah asked quickly. She
was one of the most obliging girls in
the world, but this sort of thing was
becoming monotonous.
‘ ‘As long as you’re in the city an’
goin’ right by the fashion stores, 1
s’poso it won’t be no trouble for you to
step in and buy a pattern or, . y? You
can get whatever you think is pretty—
some sacks, bodies and skirts, and so
on. You can tell better’n I can when
yon see ’em. You might get about fivo
dollars’ worth. I think it’ll pay you.
I’ll let you have the money when you
know how much it is, or I’ll sew it
out.”
While Hannah was silently making
a note of this Mrs. Dobbs, their next
neighbor, came in.
“Pretty neighbors you are,” washer
greeting. “Pretty neighbors! ‘Melie,
she just come from the store. ‘Ma, ’
sez she, ‘what do you think? Hannah
Goodrich is going to the city a-Thnrs
duy a-shoppin’ an’ is going to get Mrs.
Downing a dress. 1 wonder if she
wouldn’t buy me a felt hat. I’m sick
an’tired o’ Miss Miller’s hats!’ ‘Of
course she would,’ sez I. ‘A pretty
neighbor she’d be ef she wouldn’t.’ ”
“Why, certainly,” said Hannah, try
ing to call up a smile. It was only the
ghost of one that responded however.
limJ 01 11 1,ut wlU Amcha
want?”
“She’s gom’to leave that to your
judgment Somethin pretty and dressy
ami stylish, and that 11 bo beoomin to
you.”
Hannah was dark, with delicate fea
Hires and very pretty. Amelia was
light, with coarse leatures and homely.
“him s willing to go as high as
Mrs Dobbs went on. “.mill ef you
don t have to spend so much she 11 be
tickled. Looking around a litUe and
not taking the fust thing that s offered,
you kin sometimes save as muoli as
fifty cents.”
The school where Hannah ^ vainly
strove each day to make the Witham
youth learned was some distance from
her home, and she took her luncheon
with her. She had just settled down
to it the next noon, when a delicate, j
withered looking, long ago comely
woman entered the room.
Hannah greeted her with unfailing
politeness, hoping against hope that
she had not heard of the intended trip,
Mrs. Guion would not sit down. She
had run over only for a moment, She
had just heard that morning that Miss
Goodrich was going on Thursday to
the eity, ami wanted to know if she
would be willing to do the least bit of
an errand there. Would she be so
kind?
Of course Hannah could not say no,
and Mrs. Guion chose to consider her •
embarrassed silence an assent, and
took from a bag three pieces of silk—
blue, yellow, and green, all peculiar
shades. Would Miss Goodrich be so
kind as to match them in zephyrs? She
had vainly tried here and in adjacent
towns to do so, but then you never
could get anything outside of the city,
and you could get everything there,
Would Miss Goodrich be so kind as to
a half pound of each?
The very small item of matching
peculiar shades of silk was added
to Hannah’s list.
She was sewing that evening when
URAWFORDVlLLHiA., FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1893.
Mrs. Clark, the physician’s wife, came,
in. This lady was well off, dressy, but
economical and very fussy. All
William knew that she was hard to
please. She would not burden Miss
Goodiich for anything, she began, if
she could possibly find time to go her¬
self to the city or if she couldgetwhat
she wanted in Withani.
She had a piece of brown plaid
which she would like matched; would
Miss Goodrich bo so kind ss to get the
came quality exactly and the same
pattern? See? There was that lino
stripe—did she notice that. It was
bought three years ago—Mrs. Clark
did not remember now whether it was
in New York or Philadelphia; she had
paid a dollar a yard for it, and she
would like six yards more.
Mrs. Green, from the Corners; Mrs.
Drake, from the Centre; Mrs. Will¬
iams, from North Witham; Mrs. John¬
son, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Cole, one after
tho other, were ushered into the sit¬
ting-room and begged to have a piece
of goods matched or something big or
little bought in the city. They always
knew it would bo no trouble for her as
long as she was buying for herself, and
not one offered to advance tho money
for the purchase.
After supper on Wednesday evening
Hannah wrote out her list in full. She
was studying it, a little amused and
very much vexed, when her mother
entered.
“Mu, I’ve been counting up,” eho
said.
“Waal!”
“The things I am requested by tho
neighbors to buy amount, at a rough
guess, to $180. They would easily till
three trunks, anti the work of hunting
for them would occupy mo at least
four days. Not one has offered me a
cent in advance or the money to pay
oxpressage. I have just $80 and two
days to spend in the city.”
“I told you so—I told you so.”
“What could I do? 1 should liavo
offended every one of them if I hail
put tho. case to them as it is.”
“Waal, what air you going to do?
You’re in for it, you see.”
“I’m not going—that's what. I’ll do
about it. We’ll buy cur winter drosses
at Blake’s, as tho rest of Witham will
for tall mo. The next time I mako up
my mind to go to New York not a soul
in Witham will know it till I uni gone,
if you please, ma. ” Win f ,

Climbing amt Swimming Rabbits.
On the continent of Australia the
rabbits, by force of circumstances, aro
obliged to modify their mode of life.
These animals aro often observed to
climb trees in search of fftod when they
cannot obtain it on the ground. At a
recent session of the Zoological Society
of Loudon, Mr. Tegetmeier exhibited
the forepaws of one of these Australian
rabbits, which were seen to be adapted
to tills new mode of locomotion. It is
found, in the first placo, that they aro
more slender than those of the English
wild rabbit. Their color is paler and
tho spots aro dark. Besides, their
claws are sharper and slenderer.
In tlie Australian rabbits differences
have also been observed in the manner
of raising their young. Thus, in cer¬
tain localities, we find their ordinary
seats, but in others the litter is placed
upon the ground, without any cover¬
ing. In summer they sometimes enter
the water, with only their heads pro¬
jecting above the surface. When they
are pursued, during their migra¬
tions, they swim exceedingly well and
cross the wide rivers with ease.—

To Preserve Pictures.
A new method of preserving pictures
is being experimented with ifi London,
It consists of placing the surface of the
picture, be it canvas or paper, in a
vacuum, thus protecting it fromatmos
pberic action. The picture is enclosed
a metal frame or case, covering the
back und sides and projecting from the
like an ordinary frame. A plate
glass is inserted ill the edges of the
just as in an ordinary frame, and
sealed to the metal. The
is then w ithdrawn from between
surface of the picture and the glass

this plan xvill effectually pro

Latest Returns ot Germany’s Elections
Indicate a Socialist Vic ory.
Cablo dispatches from Berlin state
that returns from 348 of the districts
in which elections for members of the
reichstag were held on Thursday, re¬
ceived up to 5 o’clock Saturday even¬
ing, show the election of forty-nine
centrists, thirty-seven conservatives,
twenty-four social democrats, seventeen
national liberals, nine Centrists in fa¬
vor of the bill, three -Richterists, four
volkesparte, thirteen jades, six Alsa¬
tians, three anti-Semites and three
wild, with re-ballots necessary.
An analysis of the re-ballots shows
that the social democrats and national
liberals xvill figure chiefly in them,
while Bichterist-t and centrists art: a
long way behind. The defeat of the
Bichterists aj,peart to be irretrievable.
Their organ admits tho crushing
character of the disaster, but The

VICTORY FOR THE FAIR.
The Sunday Closing Injunction Over¬
ruled by the Hypi'eine Court.
A Chicago special says: Chief Jus¬
tice Fuller, Saturday morning, over¬
ruled tho decision of the federal cir¬
cuit court, which issued on injunction
restraining the directors from opening
the fair on Sunday, lie decides for
tho United States court of appeals and
remands the suit to the circuit court.
Justices Bunn anil Alien concurred in
the opinion.
Other mutters of a complicated char¬
acter, he said, would undoubtedly
grow out of thin decision. For instance,
the donation by congress of #2,500,
000 to tlm fair had been coupled with
the condition that the fair should not
be open on Sunday, and the well
known intent of the local directory to
open it. on Sunday, would seem to im¬
ply on their part a disregard for the
condition upon which the money was
granted.
