Yet in the steel and iron hearts of this old

A thread of gold wound in and out, with
to“y »softer grace;
knightly and most true;
The gentlest maiden loved by them could
with her favors tame
The boldest of those dauntless chiefs who
bore Llewelyn's "«nw
So years passed on; they lived and loved, they

century they stemmed the inva-
ding Saxon tide;
But still the hordes came rushing on in num-
bers like the sea.
Outnumbered, thinned, the Briton bands

Though struggling fiercely for their land

y^ratho chieftain held his own, the eagle
And proudly waved bis banners still upon

But hunger clutched each vassal’s heart with
__ cold and chilling hands,
While dart and spear had sadly thinned the
bravest of his bands;
Though struggling sternly through the years
the die was rarely cast,
T * 1 ® ^glj-jeyri® on its crag must be despoiled
Then Spoke the chieftain to his foe: “Protect
my child and wife,
Give each poor vassal the right to live, and
take my worthless life.”
Butsterfl the Saxon’s answer came: “Thy
men shall harmless go,
But thou, bold chief, thy wife and child be-
long unto thy foe;
Here is my pledge for all thy men, thy wife
belongs to me, •
Whilst thou within my dungeon keep a fet-
terel slave shalt be!”
Then out upon the trembling air rang out
Llewelyn’s call;
Quick wife and child sprang to his side upon
the castle wall;

wi impelled tb resist from work.”
Hn. Binns opened her eyes wide.
, “Ain’t I payin’ you good wages

Mrs. Mackenzie took a roll df paper

colored gender and the two Chinese
washer-laundries; and we won’t none of
us stay another hour without you’ll agree
in acumentary writin*, ma’am, to raise
our salaries.”
And Mrs. Mackenzie tossed her head
in spiteful satisfaction.
Mrs. Binns sank back on her pillows.
“I can’t give no answer,” said she—
“not with this pain in my bones. Send
Miss Arethusa^Allen to me, please.”
“Oh, certainly, ma’am—certainly 1”
said the cook, rising. “Sony you feel
so poorly. But you’ll bear in mind,
ma’am, that we shall expect an answer
immediate.”
And Mrs. Mackenzie withdrew,
Presently Arethusa Allen came lh—
for, as it Chanced, the district school had
closed a week previously, for the sum
mer vacation—and found’.Mrs. Binns dis
solved in tears.
“What is it, dear Mrs. Binns?” said
Arethusa.
“The help has all struck for higher
wages!” cned Mrs. Binns. “And I’m
payin’ ’em more than I can afford now.
And all the prices of provisions have riz,
and I may as well close the place at
once. Oh, Arethusa, my head aches so
I can’t think! What shall Ido? Tell
me—there’s a dear!”
“Nothing,” said Arethusa, quietly.
“Just lie down again and let me send
for the doctor.”
“But the boarders and the dinner?”
“I’ll see to that,” said Arethusa.
“Trust me, and all shall be right. Those
people down stairs have been growing
idler, and more domineering and ineffi
cient, every day; and now they want you
to pay them more money for doing less
work. There must be an end to this.
You will empower me with full au
thority I”
Mrs. Binns sent for the cook.
_ “Mrs. Mackenzie,” said she, “I am too
sick to parley with you, but Miss Allen
will represent me fully. What she says,
I say!”
And she lay down and turned her face
to the wall, with shut eyes, as if she
washed her hands of the whole concern;
while Mrs. Mackenzie bridled and turned
to the slim young school teacher, who ii
her heart she secretly despised
Then turning swiftly kuSeed his wife and l ? tter than a servant herself, with all

Quick flashed his falchion through their

Recovered, he had raised their forms and
hurled them far below.
Then spake the warrior once again: “Oh.

The Cymric chieftain dreads thy bonds, but
does not fear to die!”
Then with a war cry on his lips, and eyes
Which fiercely flashed,
He turned toward the dizzy cliff and o’er its
rampart dashed;
But as be fell, they watched and saw, with
’stomshed lips apart,
His trusty blade was swiftly drawn and
plunge ! into his heart.
The waves bore off the silent group, couched
on their watery bed,
Amid the silence of the crowd who watched
and thrilling tales.
Which still descend from sii
the homes of Wales.

BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES.
Arethusa Allen was only eighteen
when she came to Groton Gorge to take
charge of the district school—a slight,
dark-eyed slip of a thing, with a low
voice, and such a shy, timid way, that
the big girls and the rebellious boys at
once jumped to the conclusion that she
would be conquered at once in her ca
pacity of “school-ma’am.”
They discovered their mistake, how
ever, in a very brief-period of time. Miss
Allen might be quiet, but she had the
spirit of a Joan of Arc. She reduced her
little flock to order, and she kept them
there, too.
Mrs. Binns, who presided over the
Gorge House, also bore testimony in
behalf of Arethusa Allen.
“I didn’t s’pose, when I first see her,
that she would amount to a row of pins,”
said Mrs. Binns, who weighed three
hundred pounds, and stood five feet
eight in her stockings. “A slim, school
gm-lookin’ creetur like that! And I
hadn’t a room to spare, and I didu’t see
how I could possibly accommodate her.
But she spoke up so' pretty-like, that she
hadn’t no friends and didn't know where
to go, so savs I: ‘If you don’t mind a
room over tne laundry, I can clear out
some of the stores and put up a cot-bed
till the season is over. It’s a noisy *
daytimes,’says I, ‘with them Cl
cackling and screechin’, but it’s still and
peaceable of nights. And if you’ll help
me make out the bills and keep the ac
counts, Miss Allen,’ says I, ‘I’ll consider
it in your board, for I ain’t no scholar
and never was.’ ”
Mrs. Binns was an ungainly creature
to look at, but she was as beautiful at
heart as the Venus di Medici’s self, and
Arethusa soon felt herself at home in the
little room over the laundry, whose
windows looked out at the thread-like
fall of a silver cascade and the unfathom
able glocm of the fir glens beyond.
For Groton Gorge was as lovely a place aa
ever leaned from mountain plateau over
the misty valley below; and the Groton
House was full of city boarders.
Nor was the domestic staff contempt
ible. Mrs. Binns had all her'servants
from the city daring the summer season,
and to all appearances, everything went
on velvet
Until one foggy August morning,
when Mrs. Binns awakened to find her
self racked in every joint by acute
rheumatism, and utterly incapable of
moving.
She sent for Mrs. Mackenzie, the cook,
to give the day’s orders; but Mrs.
Mackenzie did not wait to hear about
roasting chickens and joints of spring
lamb, before she began on her own ac
count.
“ Sorry to inconvenience you, ma’am.’
said Mrs. Mackenzie, with her arms
akimbo: “but we ladies and gentlemen
down stairs have concluded to ask for
■a increase of salary. And until yon
graces
“Well, Miss Allen,” Said she,
your mind on the subject? The sooner
the question is settled the better for all
parties. We ain’t goin’ to stand her im
position 1”
Whatever idea Arethusa might have
entertained as to a compromise was thor
oughly banished by the cool insolence of
this last remak. '
“You may go,” said she.
“Hey?” said Mrs. Mackenzie, bristling
up like a setting hen.
“I decline to entertain your proposal,
said Arethusa, calmly. “Pack up your
things, all of you, and leave the house at
once. If you are €
succeed in taking
stops at the Gorge. ”
And she paid their wages, out of Mrs.
Binns’s cherry-wood secretary, and dis
charged them, as the good lady afterward
remarked, “horse, foot and dragoons.”
Then she called a convention of the
boarders, and told the tale.
“If you won’t mind a dinner of cold
lamb and lettuce to-day,” said she, “with
a dessert of snow-pudding that I
make myself, I will promise you so
thing more elaborate to-morrow.”
And they all cheerfully consented.
John, the stable-boy, was the only ad
herent left, and he harnessed up the
horses and drove Miss Allen down the
mountain-side to a farm-house, where
lived Mrs. Beasley, the mother of the big
boy who had been the school-ma’am’s
worst enemy at first and her most faith
ful ally ever afterward.
“Mrs. Beasley,” said Arethusa, “I want
to borrow your two daughters 1”
“Bless me, Miss Arethusa!” said the
good woman, “what for?”
“To help me at the Gorge House!” and
Arethusa told her stcry. “Joanna and
Fanny are quick, smart girls. I’ll pay
them a dollar and a half a week to act as
waitresses.”
They’d oblige you, Miss Arethusa,
cheerfully, without a cent,” said Mrs.
Beasley.
They will oblige me more by accept
ing a suitable remuneration,” said Are
thusa. “At this stage of the world,
everything is worth its money value, you
know. What say you, girls! Will you
go?”
“And welcome,” said Fanny.
“If we can learn the business,” said
Joanna, who was shyer, and more dis
trustful of herself.
Til make it my business to instruct
you,” said Arethusa, brightly. “Pack
up your things. Be ready to jump into
the wagon when I come back.”
“Can’t I do nothing Miss Allen?” said
big Junius, wistfully.
T am goin
washing, ” said Arethusa. ‘ ‘If you would
turn the handle for her sometimes—”
‘Til turn it from now till doomsday,
if it’ll help you, Miss Allen,” said Jun
ius. “Susan ain’t half a bad girl,
neither, if she didn't chaff a fellow so.”
“Thank you, Junius,” said Miss Allen.
“You will oblige me very much, indeed.”
Mrs. Ridley, who had once been house
keeper in a grand Poughkeepsie family,
and now lived on her interest money, vol
unteered as cook, with the assistance of
Marian Sevier, the rector’s daughter, who
had spent a winter in New York and
taken lessons of Miss Parloa.
“It will be such fun,” said pretty
Marian, dancing up and down. “And
Mark is to be Miss Allen’s caterer, and
send in supplies to her.”
“Yes,” said Mark Sevier—a college
professor—who had just\come home to
tpe parsonage to spend his vacation—
“the Gorge House snail be liberally sup
plied, even if I have to turn highway
robber for Miss Allen’s benefit. But I
hope. Miss Allen, there need be no dan
ger of our coming to that extremity. T
know the farmers who raise lambs, t
calves, and tender young ‘broilers.*
can pat my finger on brooks where trout
do congregate, and boys who would like
nothing better than to catch them? I
know where the berry-pickers live, and
there isn’t a melon-patch or a plum or
chard that I can’t press into the service.
You shall live like epicures at the Gorge
House!”
“Oh, Mr. Sevier, how can I ever thank
you?” said Arethusa, who had scarcely
known how to manage this portion of her
duties.
*Do not try,” said Mark, gaily.
as they learned that Hiss Sevier was going
into ths fr1tfh* n j tbat Arethusa her*
self was to give out the linen and help
with the desserts; old Mrs. Jenkins came
aa dishwasher.
“Anything to earn an honest penny,*
said she.
And the waitresses, when off meal-duty,
were to act as chambermaids, under Are*
thusa’s own direction, so that by night
fall the hew Staff of attendants were all
i service.
“Well,” cried Arethusa, gaily, to Mrs.
Binns, what do yon.think now?”
“I dunno what to think,” said the
landlady, with a sigh of intense re
lief. “It does seem as if you had witches’
blood in your veins, Miss Allen.”
The little band of industry worked
well under its enthusiastic young leader.
Of course there were some “hitches,”
some awkwardnesses, a few blunders.
What housekeeping machinery was ever
entirely devoid thereof? But on the
whole it was a distinguished success.
Gorge House had nevef known a better
season. Mrs. Binns’s treasury had never
represented a more satisfactory balance.
And when the boarders, driven by keen
October fiosts, went away, many of
them had engaged rooms for the ensuing
season.
Mrs. Binns hugged and kissed Are
thusa, with the heartiest good will.
“My dear,*’ said she, “if ever a fat old
woman as don’t deserve it had a guardian
angel, your’re mine. And you’ll be here
next season to help me ? Promise, now!”
“Oh, I couldn’t promise!” faltered
Arethusa. “I am going to Europe next
summer, with—with Mr. Sevier.”
For one second, Mrs. Binns was struck
dumb.
“I might have known it,” said she,
recovering herself at last “There wasn’t
neter anything going oil, but Mark some
how always got mixed up with it. He’s
the handsomest fellow hereabouts, as you
are the prettiest girl. I hate to lose you;
but I can’t find it in my heart to grudge
yoUr good luck; and I must try and get
along without you as best I can next
summer, but I do hope to gracious that
I shan’t have no more strikes.—Saturday
Night. _______
Where Bats Spend the Winter.
Bats in cold climates hibernate during
the winter, says a writer in the San Fran
cisco Call; iti other Words, they are en
abled to enter a dormant st-.te and live
for months without eating. So complete
is this sleep that in cases examined the
most delicate instrument failed to detect
breathing on the part of the animal, and
in another instance the bat was placed
under water without any apparent harm
resulting from the extended bath. The
deep sleeps are generally passed in
trunks of trees or caves, and in the latter
myriads of bats are often found. As soon
as the insect supply is cut off, at the
commencement of Cold weather, the bats
take to the caves, and do not appear Until
spring; but in the country they are out
all winter, perhaps retiring during un
usually cold spells.
Bats have their value, and devour a
large number of insects, from the mos
quito to the larger forms. Some of the
American Indians do not object to roast
bat, and the big fruit bats of the Indian
pcnninsula are considered great luxuries
by the natives. As these animals have a
stretch of wings of five feet, it must re
quire no little moral courage to eat one.
In the early geological ages some re
markable batlike creatures existed,
though they were in reality reptiles; yet
some found east of the Rocky mountains
were, as far as appearances go, enormous
toothless bats. One American form
had a spread of wing of twenty-two feet.
The remains of one of these giants can
be seen in the museum of Yale college,
with another from Europe that is doubt
less the most remarkable flyer ever dis
covered or even thought of. Unlike its
American cousin, it was small, and re
sembled a bat with a pelican-like bill
armed with sharp teeth. The tail, how
ever was the most wonderful feature. It
was longer than the body, and termin
ated in a veritable paddle that was a fac
simile of a tennis racket, and served this
curious flyer as a rudder.
Pigmies of Africa.
Herodotus speaks of pigmies as a race
of little men and women living in Africa.
Since that day travelers have brought
back from that continent reports of such
people being seen or heard of in the in
terior. Of late it has been the Jphion to
discredit Herodotus, and all writers who
repeat or corroborate his stories. As it
happens, however, a German explorer,
Dr. Wolff, proves that the early writers
were correctly informed.
He has found in the country along a
south branch of the Congo whole villages
of tiny men and women of a height not
more than four feet and seven inches.
They are known os Batua. Their villages,
consisting of huts, are met with in clear
ings in the forests, which cover the
greater part of the country.
Among their neighbors the Batua are
garded as little benevolent beings,
nose mission it is to provide the tribes
among whom they live with game 'and
ialm wine. In exchange, maize and
ananas are given to the pigmies. These
iappy relations between the little people
na their neighbors will remind the
reader of the way in which the fairies
and brownies used to be looked upon by
ir ancestors.
The Batua excel in the art of climbing
palm trees to collect the sap, and in setting
traps for game. Their agility is almost
incredible. In hunting, they bound
through the high grass like grasshoppers,
and face the elephant, antelope and buffalo
with the greatest boldness, shooting their
arrows with rare precision, and following
stroke of the lance.—
ohn Saxe and His Daughter.
A writer in the Kansas City Jour
nal relates this anecdote of the late
John G. Saxe and his favorite daughter,
Sarah. It was the custom of the family
to spend mnch of each summer at Sara
toga. One summer it was decided that
Sarah should remain at home in charge
of the younger children instead of ac
companying her parents, os had been
her former custom. This decision
roused the wrath of the young lady, and
awakened all that latent obstinacy
which her father claimed for her ; in
vain she remonstrated; her best cloth
ing was put under lock and key, her
parents departed, charging her to be a
good girl and to content herself until
tneir return. The season was at its
height and many persons brilliantly
conspicuous in literary circles were ga
thered under the flashing of the water
ing-place chandeliers. Saxe held his
rourt at one end of the saloon that
August evening, and sat conveniently
facing the entrance door, when a ser
vant announced “Miss Saxe.” The
poet raised his eye-glass to behold
Snrah, a miss of sixteen, haughtily
sweeping down the grand parlors,
dragging after her her mother’s best
winter gown of velvet, and glittering
with her mother's trinkets. It was
warm work enduring that heavy, oppres
sive finery, but for three days father
and daughter held their little indepen
dent courts at the famous wntenng-
place, each ignoring the other's presence
—a clear case of “Greek meet Greek.”
At the end of that time Sarah was igno-
miniously taken lion^by her father und
duly punished.
It ShMld Bo Generally Kaown
That the multitude of diseases of a scrofulous
nature generally proceed from a torpid condi
tion of the liver. The blood becomes impure be
cause the liver does not act properly and work
off the poison from the system, and the certain
results are blotches, pimples, eruptions, swell

A Prison Romance.
Charles Blake, a once hard criminal,
was released from Newcastle, Del., jail,
after finishing a three years’ sentence
for burglary. When he begun his term
of imprisonment lie was required to
stand in the pillory an hour, and was to
have received thirty lashes; but,
through the pleading of Blake’s sister,
Governor Stockley remitted the lashing.
He escaped from jail three times while
serving ni» sentence, but was as often
recaptured. A glamor of romance sur
rounded Blake during liis entire term at
Newcastle. Women admirers kept him
supplied with flowers, fruits and dainty
trappings for his cell; and in September,
1884, Sheriff Martin permitted him to be
married to the woman of his choice.
The bride was Miss Gussie Turner, of
Philadelphia, and the wedding took
ptace in his cell. J»he lias since been
very assiduous in hW attentions to him,
and was at the jail when he was released,
so they left Newcastle together. Blake
recently signed a pledge to abstain from
all intoxicating liquors, and declared to
the Sheriff and others at the jail liis
tention of leading a respectable life. It
will not be the fault of liis devoted wife
if he fails to adhere to this laudable de
termination.

Breaking Down and Building Up.
AThen a man breaks down in the matter of
physical strength, the question of its recovery
depends In great measure upon the length of
time he allows to elapse before adopting medic
inal means to recuperate it. A tonic, which
gives a speedy and powerful Impulse to the
processes of digestion and assimilation, is the
best auxiliary he can employ, and he should
it promptly. The most reliable de
pendence of the feeble, the aged and the

The Art of War.
The command of a large army tasks
the resources of the greatest mind. It
is one of the highest of human achieve
ments, aud by common consent the first
rank of fame is accorded to the great
Generals. To move an army and to feed
it on the march requires a higher order
of generalship than to fight it. Thirty
hours without supplies would reduce the
best army to a helpless mass of disorgan
ized humanity. Food for the men,
forage for the animals must not o :y be
provided, but must be at the precise spot
when wanted. Napoleon, the great mas-
ter*of the art of war, had a score of mar
shals, any one of whom could fight a
great battle, aud scarce one of whom
could lead an'army on the march. _ An
army on the march resembles nothing so
much as an enormous'serpent, stretched
out mile upon mile, and moving, alert
and watchful, with steady and irresisti
ble force. Let dangers threaten and it
hastily coils itself together and prepares
to avert or overcome the danger. Shrunk
to a fraction of its former dimensions, it
shows its fangs and is ready for attack or
defense. The danger overpast, the great
mass unfolds its coils again and stretches
out its huge proportions in progressive
movement. The brain ^ of this mighty
animal, the supreme mind that controls
its every motion, is the general in chief.
