A PAIR OF BROWN' EYES.
What i« tlio hope with wliioh yon aro aliining,
Glad brown eyes in love willi tho light—
Shining as star* aliino out of tho night,
Kindled with glory for onr divining?
What of worship aro yon enshrining,
Visions of what unknown delight?
(Chat is tho hupo with which yon are sliining,
Glad brown eyes in lovo with llio light?
Vonlh and hope in yonr look combining 1
Ah! be glad of them, eyes, to-night;
Glad, in youth lime, of youth's delight 1
I,ct us wonder, weary with pining,
What is the kopo with which yon aro shining ?

Go on and go down, till the voice of the sea
And the white lips of surf and the hands of the

And the might of tho deep where great ships

Oil, fair, sweet life, go on and go by I
Go on and go down to otornity;
And welcome thy end ns tho river is lost
Where tho wrecks lio thick, and tho dead aro

Miss Bradley, fearing far thoir lives,

koeping fast hold of hands, to return to
tho sobool-hnnse.
After somo time, in whioh the little

Tho storm oommonly tormod by the
people of the Northwest of "gront

disastrous which hnd visited that region
daring a period of fifty venrs, ns tho re
cords kept at Fort Bneiling show. It
raged nearly tlirue days. The temper
ature was all the time far below zero, nml
the snow tilled tho air with aline while
powder.
Dwellers iu tho East can scaroely
appreciate tho vlolonoo of such a tem
pest, but somo Idea can bo gained of its
fury from tho circumstance that it
caused tho death of soventy porsons in
Minnesota ulouo, somo of whom per
ished within a few rods of their own
homes, the snow-filled atmosphere mak
ing it impossible for them to know how
near they were to safety. The following
is a discretion of only ono of tho mntiy
perilous incidents of tho Btorm in a west
ern township of Minnesota.
Tho morning of the 7th of January,
18751, was remarkably beautiful; tho air
was bland and very still, and a warm,
hazy vapor hung low ovor the timbor
aud pruirie. Every ono predicted a
January thaw, and noarly all tho farmers
stnrted with thoir tenms oithor to work,
or on business to tho village seven miles
distant.
A dozen or more children of tho
farmers in tho vicinity— Norwegians,
Swedes, Germans and a few Americans
—had gathered on this morning ns
nsual, in the little log school-house,
where Miss Bradley, n eolf-snorillcing
5 Indy from tho East, ruled judi-
jr ovor the sturdy young for
eigners.
•Tubal McIConn, or Jube, ns ho was
united, a black-eyed wido-nwnko lnd
from Oouneoticut, was Miss Bradley’s
Chief anxiety, whilo to tho sluggish
emigrant boys ho was literally a thorn
in tho llosb. During tho term ho hnd
fought all in turn, aud was tho comploto
master and londiug spirit of tho school.
He hud committed all sorts of misdeeds,
from cutting off ono of iittlo Grotolieu
tjohonberg’s long ilaxon braids, to
putting yollow snuff into "Ynoob’ 1
Heiumau's dinner, whioh lio brought
every day to school in a quart porringer.
Chastisement did no permanent good. It
only seemed to develop the boy’s onutinn
and to stimulate invention for further
mischief.
This morning, ns Miss Bradley came
within hearing of tho school-house, a
a groat tumult was going on inside.
The log-house seemed fairly to qunko,
and shouts and shrieks issuod from its
low door. Tho school-mistress hurried
to tho, soouo of oonfuaion. Tliero was
Jubo, with a big brown rat hitohod by
the leg to a piece of stout string, in fill,
oliaso after tho girls aud boys.
"Fine ratio /” “Enratta /" "Bats I"
German, Hwedo and Yaukeo shrieked
out together, ns they raood ovor the
benches with bob-uniled shoos—each
scholar only intent on keeping at n safe
distance from tho tortured and sharp-
toothed Iittlo eronturo.
"Bun, Leather-jacket 1 Hyper, you
Schnapps 1” shouted Jubul, in high glee,
swinging the angry rodont forward into
a scurrying group of German bo.vB.
When they caught sight of adolivoror
In Miss Bradley, each hastened to her
protection, and in his own brokou tongue
reiterated his griovanoos.
Meanwhile, Jubo and tho rat disap
poured round tho corner and into tho
timber-bolt bnok of the school-homo,
Former experiences had taught tho
misohiovous boy that his only safety
lay in absenting himself for a soason
from the irnte school-mistress and his
injurcc. companions ; and porhaps some
thing might happen to prevent tho carry
ing out of tho punishment whioh ho
riohly dosorvod aud would bo likely to
receive.
In groat extremitios like this, Jubo
seemod to have great faith in something
happening to prevent bad results.
Ho did not by nuy means objoot to
hnving n half-holiday, and apparently
without any fear of parental disoipliue
for being a truant ho sot off into tho
timber quite light-heartod, and begun
to lay a plan for onjoying himself with
ills rut. The little oreature, however,
was fortunate enough to got away by
scurrying off into tho timber, loaving
Jnbe with an aohing thumb, through
Whioh its sharp teeth had been viciously
sot.
Then, while walking along examining
the wound, he stepped into a deep holo ,
and sprained his ankle. Whilo tho paiu
was tho sharpest he concluded that his
punishment had already commenced.
In tho log school-house the exci.e-
raent soon subsided, order reigned, and
i subdued hum indicated that tho labors
of tho day had begun. Nothing mote
disturbed the peace of tho little sohool
till after the "nooning,” Then tliero
was a snpeusion of-exercises ns Jube
lifted the latoh and limped through
tho doorw mush to ine astonishment
of both scholars and teacher.
Jube, ns wo have said, had hoped for
something to happen in his favor, aud
indeed his wish was about to bo grat
ified, though in a way scarcely agreeing
with his desires.
."Ma’am, I thought you'd like to
know ’at a blizzard’s cornin’, an’ ’most
here,” he began, dinging to the door-
latoh. Very doubtful of the reception he
might receive, Jube thought it highly
necessary to keep tho way open for re
treat in case of hostilities.
The announcement, as he expeoted,
created quite a panio; for nearly all of
the scholars hod had some experience
with blizzards, and held them iu groat
dread. Instantly tho school was dis
Missed, and the teacher ran oat to see
i it were possible that the children
might get home before the storm over
took them.
The school-honso was near the centre
or the settlement, and not one or the
settlers' homes was'within three-quarters
of a mile at least, except that of an old
German couple, who lived a third of a
mile distant in a sod-house.
All along the tho north-western hor
izon a white wall, as distinot in ontline
as a great sheet suspended between earth
and sky, was bearing down upon them.
It moved with great velooitv, accom
panied now with a far distant roar,
whioh struck the ohildren as they
watohed it, breathless and terrified,
with horror.
"Into your wraps, ohildren, quick I”
said Miss Bradley. "Here, Jnbe, Dahl,
ably fallen down, am
behind.
Consternation scizod Miss Bradloy.
Who could rcscuo tho ohihl? It seemed
hnz irdous to attempt it. Yet it should
no done, and whilo sho was considering
what was tho best course, Jube ex
claimed,—
"Ma’am, I’ll go for her. I’m tho
jldest ’ccpt Dahl, an’ ho's short-wiuded’s
a pig I Ho can’t go iu the snow worth
a cent.”
Miss Bradley looked at the lnd in
ndmirntiou for his bravery and self-
sacrifice. Bho doubted whether it was
right (or him to undertnko tho child's
rcscuo, but after n moment’s thought sho
concluded tliero was no nltcrnntivo.
"Go, Jubo," sho said, and added,
softly, ns ho dashed out into tiro storm,
"There’s a bravo, true heart liiddcD
away in tho lad’s bosom nftor all."
Jubo conld scarcely boo two yards
abend, but lie lmd stationed Dnhl and
Yacob at tho school-house door to shout
nml to drum on thoir dinner pnils so
that ho might find hiB wny bnok.
But (Iretehcn was not so far away as
had boon feaied, and Jubo hnd gone only
a short dlstnnco when the faint cries of
the little girl camo to him from a point
off to the right of tho path. Answering
hor with cheerful shouts, ho made wny
to where she crouched hrunthless
and bewildered beneath somo bushes,
and in u few minutes moro, guided by
tho sounds from tho school-houso, the
lad stumbled into tho school-houso drag
ging Orutchcn after him amid tho lusty
shouts of the German boys, aud hearty
praises of Miss Bradley.
All the afternoon the storm ragod with
itioronsing fury. Tho snow, flno as flonr
and driven by tho high wind, ponotratod
every crovieo, puffing into the honso like
itonm, and molted by tho warmth with
in, soon saturated the benches aud floor
with wnlor.
It wns evident that scholars and
•earlier would bo obliged to rornain over
night in tho school-houso, and Mlsu
Brailloy mado what preparation sho
could to lessen tho children's sufferings.
Yet with the snow sifting in upon thorn,
tho tempernturo far below zero, and no
supper, tho little ones woro vory uncom
fortable, and somo of them bemoaned
thoir situation dolofulLy.
The night passed. Morning camo,
and the prospect of leaving tho sohool-
honso looked no brighter. Indeed, it
was worse, for their stook of wood was
nearly gone.
Tho snow still filled tho air liko a
thick fog, and tho wind blow a gale,
Tho oliiliircn soareely looked for assist-
anoo from their homes, for thoy had
stopping ni tno "sou-nouse 11” the
storms were ovor. On their part, tho set
tlors, with not a little anxiety, woro
waiting for tho Htorm to abate, for nouo
of them dared to brave its fury.
Ho the forenoon passed, aud there wns
no moro fuel, Littlo Yacob, however,
found an old nx, and ono by ono the
benches wore hacked and split for stove-
wood to keep tho ohildren from freezing.
Mi"B Bradley now oxertod herself to tho
utmost to keep the hungry scholars no
tivo at romping games, much ngainst
thoir iuoliuntiou, for tho storm bndc
fair to kocp them Imprisoned anutha'
night, porlinps longer.
It was n most miserable day. The
littlo ones wept bitterly, with tlio olden
ones almost ready to join them, and Misr
Bindley in despair.
Jnbe hacked away doggedly lit tlio
few remaining benohes, and thought.
At Inst there was n lull ill the Htorm.
It seemed that the olouds woro lifting a
littlo nml tho air wns clearer. Then Jube
auuonuued his determination to gu for
help.
"Yo may as well froozoln a snow-drift
es hero, an’ at any rnto you won’t bo so
long about it,” ho argued. "Besidet,
them young ones ’ll all starvo before
morula'. I onu’t stnn’ it to stay hero an'
hear ’em yonkin’ ro I”
"But mnybo somoono will oomo for ui
if wo wait,” insisted Miss Bradloy.
May-boos don’t fly in January," said
•Tubs, with his old audnoiouB air. "Now
1 know I can got along somehow.
Leastways I’m goin’ to try. Hero
Ynoob I ’haul off that calf-skin; and,
Dald, lend a feller your jaokot, enu’i
yon?”
Aud exchanging his ordinary woo)
olothes for Yncob’s waistooat and Dahl’s
long coat of calf-skin, tanned with tho
hair ou, and muilo up with tho hnir in
side, lie felt nblo to dare almost any
thing. Then the littlo follow started out
hopefully, Dahl and Yacob looking long
ingly toward their departing garments.
Though his ankle, which ho hnd
sprained in tho woods, was swollon aud
pained him, yet Jube was onroful not to
let it bo known.
Tho snow hnd drifted ovor tho sohool-
honso in groat heaps, noarly covering it,
but once nwny from it, Jubo wallowed
on. Finding liis wny to tlio "Oornors”
without gront difficulty, lie began to
tbink it wns not such n dangorous under
taking after all; but on taking tho north
road toward tho old Gorman's, the full
severity of tho storm burst upon him.
He would now hnvo returned, but tho
danger of doing bo was nearly as great
as iu keeping ou.
Blinded by tbo thick-driving snow,
Jube wandered and struggled through
the drifts, sometimes falling to the
ground nearly suffoonted, then up and
on again, the pain in his ankle gottiug
worse at every step.
After an hour of nltornnto stumbling
and creeping, lio became nwnro that lie
liad missed the road. Yet, stout-hearted
aud determined, ho kept on, aud at last
in the impenetrable snow-cloud, stum
bled up ngninst sonic object and found,
to his great joy, that it wns the old Rod-
house ou the prairie iu which he nud
Dahl had watched jack-rabbits. Tie had
probably oiroled about it and around it
many times.
•Tube crept inside with a glad heart,
and lay down to rest upon an old bunk
of dried prairie-grnss in ono corner.
Hour after hour lio listened to tho wind,
which scorned to be now nlmting, wait

Tho first bottles made would sell now

HOW THE WOMEN VOTE.
Tli* IVay They Manage It la Washington
Territory.
The municipal elections in Seattle,
Which is a lively littlo city of some
10,000 inhabitants, had always been non
partisan. Nominations for city oflloes
Lave generally been by mass conven
tion, called by prominent citizens, with
out distinction of party, and the oppoei-
tion ticket usually consisted of candidates
defeated in tho first convention. No
issues of a political nature wero evor
presented, and no inquiry or attention
directed to a candidate’s political affili
ations or party views. Tlio city election
takes place annually, in Jnno. As the
time approached it beoame evident that
the women, as a body, proposed to take
a decided interest in politics, and more
than six hundred had registered before
election day. Tho Women’s OhriBtian
Tompernnco Union was tho nucleus
nrnuud whioh they formod n compnet
little party ol a voting strength suffi
cient lo Bhow that they held tho bainuco
of power in tho community. Home of
tho older and shrowdor politicians of tho
Christian statesman typo, iuoludlng two
ox-Ohiof Justices of Washington Terri
tory, recognizing tho full signifloanoe of
the situation, swung into lino with the
women, and by tboir able assistance in
organizing and directing tho movement,
fixed themselves solid with tho element
whioh they wero far-seeing onongh to
know was to be practically the control
ling ono in local politios. They took the
initiative, oallod a "Law and Order Con
vention,” and adopted a platform of op
position to tlio liquor trnflio and in favor
of enforcing tho Holiday laws.
An organization called the "Business
Mou’b Association” was formed consist
ing largely of saloon men, but number
ing also a fair Bhare of merchants and
professional mou of tho oity, who nomi
nated a tiokot iu opposition to that of
tho Law and Order party, Tho result
proved tho strength of llio new movo-
moot, Tho women devoloped as most
aotlvo and enterprising politicians.
Ladies by tho score of tho best social
position, who had never been thought of
ns advocates of "womon’s rights" or
fomalo suffrage, went into tho fight with
nil tho zonl of now converts. Tho whole
city was districted off, and oommittecs
of tliroo womon given charge of each
district trJ carry ou tlio work. Every
honso iu town wns visited by thoso com
mittees, aud a disltiot or oity was nover
moro thoroughly oniivassod.
On oicotion day tlio strocts iu tho vi-
oiaity of tho polls were thronged with
women, armed with bundles of tickets,
aud to rcncii tlio polls one hnd to run tlio
gauntlet of tho most persistent crowd ol
■workers ovor soon around tho polls.
Thoso woro ladios, women of tho highest
pooinl position, women, many ol them,
heretofore of tlio most modest and re
tiring demeanor. It was a shook to our
prejudices, but wo hnvo got used to it

Head Work Iild It.
A half-linked Indian wns looking on nt
t.omo workinou in tho employ ol Guv
cruor Dudley, of Mnssaohnoctts.
"Why don’t yon work and got yonr-
self somo clothes?" nuked llio Governor.
"Why don’t yon work ?” retorted tho
son of the forest.
"I work head-work,” said Dudloy,
pointing to liis bond.
Tlio Indian said ho was willing to work,
and agreed to kill a calf for the Gov
ernor. Having (lono so, ho oamo for liis
pay.
"But, said tlio Governor, "you havo
not dressed tlio calf.”
"No," said tho Indian, "I was to hnvo
t shilling for killing him. Am ho no
dead, Governor?”
Finding himself outwittod, the Gov-
irnor guvo him nnothor shilling for
dressing it. It was not long betoro tlio
Indian oamo back, demanding a good
sliilliug in place of the bad one whioh
ho declared tlio Governor hnd paid him.
The Governor paid him another.
lMurning a second timo with still an
other brass pieco to bo exchanged, the
Governor, convinced of his knavery, ot
tered him half a crown if he would de
liver a lotter for him.
Tho letter was directed to tlio keeper
of tlie prison, and ordered him to give
tlio bearor a certain number of lashes.
The Indian, suspecting that all wns
not right, and mcotiug a servant of tho
Governor, induoed him to take tho letter
• to its address.
Tho result of tho Indian’s stratagem
A'ns Hint a sovero whipping was admin
istered to tho unfortunnto servant. Tho
Governor was grently chagrined nt being
u second timo outwittod by tho Iud.nn,
On fulling iu witli him somo timo after,

deceive him so many times.
"Head-work, Governor, Load-work,”
