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. —Flavel Scott Mines, in Harper's Weekly. 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 Centre, fe^nnah was j^atheir im ■hut Bts iK. 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.

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 , Mrs. Goodrich dill please.

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.— Scientific American.

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 the painting i.-: in a vacuum.

THE ARMY BILL DOOMED. 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 Berlin Freissin ge Zeitung finds com¬ fort in predicting that tlio ultimate {,oll of the party combined with tin: volkesparte, centrists and socialists will form an overwhelming plebiscite against tho am y bill.

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.
