Vast marshes stretch out in every di rection, dotted with immense ponds—tha duck preserves of Mexico. This region, in olden days, was the bosom of tha broadest of the Aztec lakes. After the construction of the great Spanish drain, only water enough was left to breed ma laria and attract water fowl. These {Kinds are rented to the Indians :U fabulous prices, who mainly subsist itjmn the harvest of ducks which they 1 gather with all the regularity of a wheat f crop. It is estimated that . r >00,000 an- \ nually load the market of Mexico. The | Indians are actuated by no love of s{iort, ! but from stern necessity; and while the ! slaughter involves little skill, it is unique ! and one of the Features of the country, i They erect a sort of infernal machine | with three tiers of gun barrels—one level i with the water, one slightly elevated, and ; the third at a still greater angle. They j employ from fifty to :J00 musket barrels, which they hide irt the logs, floating them among the marsh grass near the water’s edge. These are exploded, some times by fuse and sometimes by elec tricity. The lower tier is discharged at the birds while they are sitting, and the second and third tiers are fired in quick succession as they rise. During duck season this wholesale havoc takes {dace several times a week, and nets these thrifty Indians from 400 to GOO birds per shot. The marshes and causeways were cov ered with a picturesque throng, on foot and horseback, the entire tritie, men, women and habit's. They seemed to have no regular method of distributing the plunder: but so soon as the smoke cleared all plunged forward and secured as many as they could pick up. For an hour the causeway leading to Mexico was lined‘with a duck laden procession. Tied to rancheros’ saddles, hung on poles, dangling with the little mahogany babies upon the backs of Indian mothers. Like all the good things in life, the distribu tion was an uneven one, and some could go to market with their gains while others would still go hungry. One littlo fellow, clad in a scant shirt and broad smile, trotted along with only a duck’s head as his portion. Never mind! he will grow into the capacity of a whole bird bv and by. We naturally questioned why these silly coveys return to the same death trap from year to year, and learn that there are myriads of savory eggs, called agayacatl, deposited here by an insect, which some declare a musquito, others designate as a fly. The ducks are not alone in th«;ir appreciation of this dainty, for the Indians gather them also, and make them into a tortilla, which they declare delicious. The taste re sembles fish roc. and “musquito pate” is a bonne bouehe often found upon fash ionable tables in the capital. Father Page, in his ‘ Travels,” says that * ‘at one season of the year the In dians had nets of mail, with the which lliey raked off a certain dust that is bred upon the lake of Mexico. They gathered much of this and heaps and made thereof cakes brickbats. And they did not only sell this ware in the market, but also sent it abroad to other fail's and markets afar off: and they did eat this meal with as good a stomach as we eat cheese—yea, and they hold the opinion that this scum of fatness of .the water is the cause that such great number of fowl cometh to the lake, which in the winter season is infinite,” This was written early in the Seven teenth century, and “infinite” is still the oroper word to designate the number of •vikl fowl that here abound.—Emily Pierce in Outing. LULLABIES. The afternoon is fair and still. Unveerinp stand the village rt ips. The sunshine sleep*, on roof and Sill And glances from my neighbor's panes; A languid sense of slumber cheer Brtxxls over all things, calm and mild. And low from p’er the way I hear A mother singing to her child. A mother's love in measures thrills The silence of mid-afternoon; The baby's pouting mouth it stills That will not ope to cry or croon; Soft folded to that tender breast The little head lies reconciled. The songs drift o’er its dreams of rest— The mother sings unto her child. No other sounds are in the air. And softly fall those drowsy turn* Upon my heart like peace and prayer— A lullaby of childisn runes; And slumber strains more low and sweet Have never yet to sleep beguiled: “Rest, little bead and hands and feet;" A mother singing to her child. -A. W. Bellaw in Yankee Blade. MR. BENONI’S STORY. kept it in i like unto The Cup Which Ch But not many days ago I found a new anil better way of making tea, and that the tea question should ever be stirred up and need settling once again surprised me. Mother’s way of making it had seemed unquestionable at first: One tea- spoonful of tea. one cupful of boiling water; steeped, not boiled, live minutes. But night after night there floated on my husband’s cup one. two or a dozen liny particles of stem and leaf, until a strainer there must be, but "A pretty silver one,” I said, “and 1 will wait till •Christ! uas.” Then came my best of hus bands to the rescue with a mild sugges tion: for he b long suffering, and neither demands improvement nor finds fault with present methods in my housekeep ing. lie proposed teaching me his mother's way of making tea. It was to use the same proportion as before, but not to pour th" whole amount of h.-iling water on the leaves fntii they have first been steeped in jnsfc enough to cover them, three minutes. Then add the amount of water required, and serve. If the water really boils there will be no • ‘floaters. * By the new rule, found in our daily paper, tea is made with cold water, and is intended to be used iced in tumblers. But. accidentally, we have discovered that it makes superior hot tea also. Four or five horn's before using, pour out cup ful of cold water over a teas}toonful of tea leaves. At tea time strain and serve as iced tea, or heated in the teapot. The straining before heating gives unusual delicacy to the flavor.—Good Housekeep ing. i !>:■ Ouiucey, the Opium Eater. Crabb Robinson met him in 1B1*2. and said that "iiis port; a is Small. hi> com plexion fair, and his air and manner are those off a sickly and enfeebled man.” Mr. James Payn met him in Edinburgh at a dinner party, and de.-cribes hi: , :.s a “verv diminutive man. carelessly -very carelessly —dressed; a face lined, care worn. and so expo -ion!;-- that it re minded one of ‘that chili, changeless brow wlit-re cold i h -tmotionV apathy appalls the gazing mourner's heart' a face like death in life.

Inhale warm salt water through your nose if you wish to cure your cold, says an eastern doctor. “This is Mr. Benoni, ” said my friend : Dr. Banks, :is a sudden turn in the gravel I walk brought us almost face to face with | a man seated on a rustic bench. “Mr. i Heiioni is a friend of mine, and is here on a visit.” This last was said by way of introduction in Mr. Benoni's hearing, ho having risen and advanced towards us. He was tall, proportionately broad, and his steel gray hair framed an intellectual face. “Mr. Benoni,” continued Dr. Banks, when we had sauntered up to the tiench and seated ourselves, “loves na ture. 1 venture to say that two hours before we were stirring he was wander ing through the garden listening to the voices of the morning. ” “Yes,” said Mr. Benoni, “I was out early this charming morning; and where could one enjoy it more fully than in this beautiful garden? Your friend”—ad dressing me— “made a fortunate choice when he selected this site for a country place. One can roam for hours without tiring through the spacious grounds. Dr. I tanks understands me. He knows that I love to commune with nature, and he often leaves me undisturbed in the soli tude of some shady retreat. There is but one objection to the place, and that objection arises through the doctor’s own fault. I speak frankly and with out reference to yourself—he has too many friends. The house is often full of them, lie is constantly asking people to visit him. and those who come usually stay a long time. They interfere with my enjoyment of nature. When I have found a solitary nook where I can remain undisturbed, one of the doctor's friends appears in view—more than likely Mj\ Arundel, who is seated yonder reading, and who seems to have a habit of getting in my way. When I first vis ited the doctor here, lie did not have so many friends. But I suppose his con stantly growing practice has brought him into contact evitli many people. I will not lie so selfish as to wish that he had been less successful. But I am growing old now, inclined to be querulous, and have been here so long that I regard the place somewhat as my own. Hence my frankness. I love the doctor—he is the only man I love-r-for only he, the birds anil the dowers understand me.” Dr. Banks had been listening with a good natures 1 look to Mr. Benoni’s strict ures on his liberality. “Benoni,” he said, "I am sure my friend is another man who will understand you, if you will tell him vour story. He has traveled much, seen much and read much, but I am quite sure lie has never had or heard of a stranger experience than yours. He is my best friend—in strong sympathy with at! mi' thoughts and opinions; and I am convinced that as I understand you, so will he.” Mr. Benoni looked at me earnestly, and then bowed his head meditatively. Look ing suddenly up again and pointing to a l.iy which rose majestically yet gracefully above a bed of filnvers, he said: “That lily brings vividly before me a form of grace anil a face of beauty—the form ami face of my dead wife, 1 hold the doctor d.ai above all other men. because he knew her and remembers her beauty. 1 love nature, because in all that is beauti ful in nature I can siv her. Hence I Jove solitude, because in solitude 1 can lies! c >mmune with what is most beautiful in nature. “No one who never knew my wife can appreciate the shadow which her death lias cast over my life, or form an idea, of tli- grief an ! despair which since then h:v> entered my heart. We h:u! known each other since childhood, for we had , • away to the £iown up together. Our parents houses 1 *. .... , w av a -joining. We ro:n;v>:! together with i-he i i.:! .ren of the mighto'hood, in : ,ose ehiliiismil games 1 assumed a kind' of 'protectorate over her. and in those disputes i.i which chil dren's i-ports not inf; ■ ai'-nllv end 1 i;u care that she was never wronged. 1 remember e.-;\liaMy one occasion when I was her champion. As a child, already Alice had a profusion of black hair. In the days when we played those romping games i. was bound by a single i b x-ii, from wh.it h it fell over her shoulders and back. When she ran. i*v motions were grace itself. Her cheeks glowed with excitement, and her hair Streamed in the breeze. One day a boy. who was running after her in «ne of our games, in his eagerness to catch her. in stead of waiting till he gained on her suf ficiently to grasp her arm. caught her streaming hair. The check was so sud den and so n*de t int she fell with a sharp cry of lain. What followed I cannot tell or my own knowledge. Lookers on toll me that I threw myselS upon the hoy. and that a short, hut severe light en sued —short because my blood was up— and 1 soon it Tost him. That incident ! ilrev Alice and myself closer to one an- other, anil our friendship soon became ; proverbial among our com;;arions. And so our childhood passed, and she entered upon lovely maidenhood and 1 upon Yo rk. The ps : o' ]. r beauty as n eh.'.! was more ih.m fulfilled: iceloveh- Ts*— i f her far harmonized with the m ild- illy grate of In r form.

X- - li:al i ; iaoii a love /or l>eaati?ul music. Th- pwegl of both vt us w«ro musical, and : as children already we had received les sons on the piano. But in those days wf were more interested in our childish games. As we grew older, however, and more serious, and our emotions deeper, music gained a strong hold ujion us. Not only did we hear the compositions of the great masters performed at concerts, but we played arrangements of them as duets on the piano. Thus we grew more and more familiar with them, until we knew them note by note. When we could play them technically correctly we tried to penetrate into their deeper meaning. It was then I began to discover the poetry of Alice's nature. Beauties which would have remained hidden from me she dis covered, and for the interpretation of every composition she had numerous jKK'tic suggestions. And so we often reveled in a wealth of beautiful sound. Yet we were quite unconscious of the bond of sympathy which united us until there came a time when we tlfought wc should be obliged to part—for the first time since early childhood. Alice’s pa rents had decided to take her to Europe for a year or two, in order that foreign travel might complete her education. I remember, as if it were but yesterday, the afternoon when she told me of our approaching separation. She spoke of it with mournful tenderness. I could say nothing. But I had a language better than speech in which to express the emo tions which welled up as she spoke. There is an impromptu by Schubert, which has been aptly entitled the ‘Elegy.’ It is a mournful melody, floating over a softly flowing accompaniment, like the voice of a lonely spirit over the water. Gently I drew Alice to the piano, and seating myself at the instrument, intoned the ‘Elegy.’ Swayed by a feeling which I could not define, I played with the deepest expression of which I was capa ble. As the last notes died away hot tears fell upon my hands. I looked up into Alice’s face. Slie was weeping. Flushed with the heat of sudden passion, I clasped her to my heart and kissed her. A moment later a thrill of joy passed through me as her lips touched my brow. Releasing her, I knelt before her. She laid her hands upon my head as though, in blessing. Not a word had been spoken, but our stories had been told— we loved one another. “Alice did not go to Europe. Our parents were not opposed to our union. Indeed, they had expected such an event, though not so soon. Still, they had so familiarized themselves with the idea, that, when our love for one another was made known to Alice’s parents, the trip to Europe was abandoned. We were not, however, to marry until the lapse of two years, when I would be 22 and she 20. Fortunately my parents were weil off. and it was not necessary for me to earn my own living before I could marry Alice. All the same. I was ambi tious enough to work hard at the studies which were to fit me for the legal pro fession. a course in which she encouraged me. Need I tell how happily those two years passed? Of our loving exchange of confidence? Of the trust we reposed in one another? The sweetness and beau ty of Alice’s character became more and more apparent to me; and when, two years after our engagement, we were united in marriage, it seemed to me as if the climax of happiness hail keen reached. As I stood at the altar to receive hei. and she came up the aisle clad in white, her face calm yet radiant, I could not but feel that 1 was receiving an angel into my life. Nor was I mistaken. But I had been mistaken when I had thought that the climax of happiness had been reached on our wedding day; for every day of our married life brought new happiness. Alice’s face often wore that calm yet radiant expression it had worn on our wedding day. Her lips often seemed to me about to part in a smile of happiness. When her fr.ee wore that pi'ession of quiet rapture it was loveli- e.st to behold. I see it ri ling before me now! 1 ]>ut out my hands to touch it! It has vanished! Ah! it was but the vision of a spirit! For, aias! Alice is no more. Three years of ever in creasing happiness, and then came a tragedy all the more terrible for the bliss which had preceded it. Ah, bitter memory of the hours of agony I passed at her bedside! Alas! will time never assuage the despair, the agony, of that hour when they o ld mo her eyes had closed in death? 1 charged them with lying to me; for, as I looked upon her face a.- she lay there so still, her lips, as so often bgfero. seemed to me about to part in a smile of happiness. Is it- a wonder tint, when they came to bear her : mb. I stood like a wild 1 .east at bay before bar coffin and dared | them to approach? Seized, overpowered 1 by superior numbers, it was only when ! they tiireatenedNto force me to remain I guarded in that room that I desisted in order that I -flight be allowed to follow her remains, to the tomb, and there be sufi'ered i-> gaze upon her features. Fools, to think tier dead! I knew better than they. Would her lips still seem ■ about to part in a smile of happiness if she were dead and lost to me? I felt that when, at the moment which others would think to be the moment of my final part ing from her in. the tomb, I called her by name, she woukl awaken from her trance and clasp me to her bosom and return with me once more into the air and sun shine. At last that moment came. Xhe dreary cortege had; reached the tomb* the heavy portal had been thrown back, and they had Ixwne the coffin into the sepul cher, and placed it upon the catafalque. I stepped forward to take what the fools who hail brought her there thought would be my last look at her. As I approached her I saw the dear familiar look of quiet rapture come over her face, her lips seemed about to part in a blissful smile, and I was sure I saw a slight tremor of the hand nearest me. I could not control my feelings. '-Alice! Alice!*’ Iex< aimed, and rushing to the side of the cofiin, I raised her and clasped luT to my breast. •••Ire i- nab!' ! heard c.;v of those behind me exclaim. A moment l.ittr I j w.is seized by -imng arms. I .•' niggled j with the ; of dcs It 1 me '.thing. £ v.;; drugged from ; while. You have been very ill.

Where is she?’ ‘ ‘The physician turned to the bystand ers, and shrugging his shoulders tapped his forehead with one of his fingers. “ ‘Wretches!' I cried, raising myself in bed, *you know not what you have done. You have left her alive in the tomb. I saw her hand move just before I clasped her to my breast. No power in the world can hold me back now. I will open the portal of that tomb or die in the effort!' “The bystanders looked at the physi cian. ■‘ ‘The exertion may be fatal to Sir. Benoni.’ he said. *On the other hand, this excitement surely will be. Besides, you tell me that in the tumult attending his removal from the coffin the lid waa not closed. That can be done, and Mr. Benoni at the same time become satisfied that his imagination Inis played him false. It may have a wholesome effect upon him,’ was added in an undertone. • ‘To get in readiness to start, to enter a carriage, drive through the town and into the cemetery, occupied barely an hour. Yet, when we drew up in front of the tomb, it seemed to me as if years had elapsed. What wild fancies whirled through my brain during that dreary drive—my beautiful Alice rising in her coffin; stretching out her arms into the ayvful darkness of the tomb and piteously calling my name; calling it still as she gropes her way along the damp walls to the portal; shrieking with despair as she finds it closed; tearing her flesh from her fingers in her frantic efforts to loose the j «-] a ss e S for 2 xC. at AVERY’S, iron lock and free herself; groping her * u way once more along the damp walls only to find herself again at the unyield ing portal: mad with famine, beating her head against the cruel iron; in the agony of insanity tearing out handfuls of her raven hair; in the last desperation of - c .. madness grasping the lock again and fall- Mind Stone Rings; Gold, ollvCT, ing with a moan lifeless against the por tal!

I snatched the largo key from the hand of one of my relatives who had accompanied me, turned it in the lock and pushed back the portal. It opened slowly for a few inches. Then something impelled it. Almost frantic, I called upon those who had come with me to summon all their strength. With a great effort we made the portal yield enough to admit me. I rushed through the opening. When barely in the tomb I stumbled and fell. As I fell, I clutched about me, and felt one hand close upon an arm. The others had followed me. They dragged me out, my hand stiLi clutching that arm. What was it they drew’ out after me? Alice? Oli, horror! Let me not call that hideous, distorted vision of her by that name! ‘Villains,’ I shrieked, as I gazed upon her lacerated, bleeding form, ‘you are her murderers— you who dragged me from her side and closed the portal of this tomb upon her!’ ” Mr. Benoni buried his face in his hands, and I saw that he was trembling with excitement. Dr. Banks beckoned to Arundel. The latter approached, and without further order took a seat beside the narrator. As Dr. Banks and I walked away I asked: “Are you not afraid to leave him with only Arumlei to look after him?” “No, Benoni is not a raving maniac.
