A week Of labor <l<^nel-
The hour of str.aiet. au<l the night prows chill,

And throi* tndb purple idackuegs on-the hill.
The river, silent, graj-,
In placid cairn reflects unerringly
Kaoh shrub and leafy spray
That on its margin prows so wantonly.
. A’week of labor done!
And so perchance life's labor soon will be—
How will the record run
When mirrored in (he everlasting sea?
Will clouds obscure the rav
That, shines afar? What mystery! How prone
Are we to court uelayi
How can tint sout'go forth in doubt, alone?
Behold! u tiny rift
Divides the'chu k o'erhanpiug cloud. At last
’ a glory seems to lift
The burden from the night—the chill Is overpast

Within the bosom of the cold, gray stream.

—Id. H. .Brooks in Springfield Republican.
Maj..Henderson was the mo6t obstinate
man imaginable. For a whole hour
Lieut. Mapleson tried to convince him
that it was the hand and heart of Maude
Henderson for which he was pleading,
her comfortable little fortune being a
matter about which he was supremely in
different. At the expiration of the hour
Maj, Henderson's decision remained un-
idumgod.-
••Save ft thousand pounds of your at
tachment to my niece, and I will give my
consent to your marriage with her.
tJndfer no other circumstances will 1 do
rso.’'* This was the extent to which the
major would commit liimself.
•Save a thousand pounds indeed? Why,
a million Would be equally possible to a
man of refined tastes with but a paltry
200 a year or so besides his pay.
Maude waylaid her lover outside the
library door. Very pretty she looked as
*ho listened to dear Jaok’s angry protes
tations, her cheeks flushed, and her
brotfn eyes filled with tears.
“You will be true to me, my darling?
pleaded the impecunious lieutenant, as
bis arms stole around her waist and his
tawny mustache pressed her rosy lips.
True to him? Indeed and indeed she
would bo.
, “You know, dearest, you will be 21 in
a fortnight's time and your own mis-
irew. My sweet one will fly with her
pool loving Jack; won’t she?”
•*'es”—rather dubiously. It was hard
to put aside the prospect of being fol
lowed to the altar by a bevy of daintily
arrayed bridesmaids, although she was
so deeply in love.
True, she would soon lie of age, arid
consequently her own mistress, but what
would that fact avail her if she were
railed away from her lover? And such
indeed seemed likely to be the case, for
her uncle carried . her off to a small vil
lage in North Wales the day after Lieut.
Mapleson had been told.of his fate. 01'
course she left a note behind for “dear
Jack,;” telling him the name of the vil
lage to which t hey were going, and earn
estly begging of him to do “something,”
although she could think of nothing prac
tical to suggest.
Oivthe morning of her 21st birthday
Maude came down to breakfast looking
fresh,and even a little happy. She had
honestly tried to be miserable for a whole
fortnight, and had succeeded for two
days. With youth and health on one’s
side it is almost impossible to be thor
oughly out of spirits for any length of
time, however much one may be experi
encing the truth of the proverb about
“true love, ” etc.
The landlady's bright looking daughter
brought in„tlie coffee and rolls. “Mrs.
Evans, opposite, haslet her front rooms,
miss.” she volunteered. “A gentleman
all by* Himself. came and took them last
night:”
A gentleman, and alone! Maude’s
spirits rose. “Did you happen to-hear
Mrs. Evans say what her new lodger is
like? 1 suppose,” added naughty, de-
ccitful Maude, “he is an elderly gentle
man.”
•■Yes, miss, quite. He’s a bit lame,
walks with a stick. anil has a long gray
beard. His name's Mr. Browne.”
Maude's spirits fell again. At breakfast,
however, she mentioned the new arrival
to lier uncle.
Maj. Henderson was beginning to find
North Wales a little dull, so lie listened
ratVr readily, thinking that there might
perhaps be a prospect of having someone
with whom to smoko a. friendly pipe.
In the course of the morning when the
uncle and niece were sitting in one of the
many beautiful glens in which the neigh
borhood abounds, Maude saw a bent fig
ure approaching, walking with a sticic.
••I think, uncle, that must be Mr.
Browne, Mrs. Evans' new lodger, she
said.
Her uncle looked up from his book.
“Out of health. 1 should say." was Maj.
Henderson's comment. “He doesn't
look old enough to be so infirm.”
When the stranger came up to them
lie paused and inquired the way to the
Swallow falls.
Maude started. That voice! Her uncle,
however, merely made courteous reply.
Evidently his suspicions were not
aroused.
“Excuse me." continued the stranger,
“but have 1 not the pleasure of address
ing one who is a neighbor for the time
beintr? I fancied 1 saw you come Oui. of
Honeysuckle cottage this morning with
your daughter. ’
••Yes, sir. you are right—at least my
niece and I are staying opposite to you."
• • Your niece? ' and the stranger politely
raised his hat as he glanced at Maude.
‘•May I inquire if y ou have been making
a, long stay in the neighborhood? It is
the first time 1 have visited North V> ales.
Mini I should be giad to know the prin
cipal spots of interest in the immediate
vicinity. My health is so shattered that
I cannot undertake long excutsions.
“This is the commencement of our
third week,” teplied the major. “Lilts
yourself, we have chosen rather to enjoy
the scenery within walking distance in
preference to traveling about by mil o;
4x>aoh. My niece has been a little upset
lately, so we came here to recruit her
health. ’ * _
Maude flushed tip indignantly. T«
speak of the cruel blow which had been
dealt her as,if it were a mer« nothing!y
‘tlhe young^lady is looking .iso fresh
and charming that I think sl*c must' lie
on ihe liigh road to recovery. ” This with
a stiff, old fashioned bow to Maude. V‘I
wai about to say I trusted I might derive
hs much benefit from the change only I
fear that it is too much to expect. Age
cannot hope to compete with youth.”
“With your permission,” suggested
Maj. Henderson, “my niece and I wifi
accompany you to the falls. They are
within a quarter of an hour's walk from
here: and I can then give you a few
hints about the neighborhood as we go
along. ”
Mr. Browne would only be too pleased.
Maude walked on by her uncle s side,
experiencing a mixture of joy and alarm.
She was so delighted to hear that dear
voice again; so fearful lest her lover's
stratagem should be discovered!
Mr. Browne noticed her agitation, and
was careful to divert Maj. Henderson’s
attention from his niece, in case her con
fusion should betray the secret. The
trio had to cross a stream by means of
stepping stones. The stranger offered to
assist Maude. Managing to keep his back
to Maj. Hendereon, Mr. Browne, alias
Lieut. Mapleson, tenderly pressed
Maude's yielding hand, and with a world
of expression in his blue eyes wliispered:
“Be careful, my darling, and all will be
well with us.”
The next morning Mr. Browne called
upon Maj. Henderson. “I have jusr
received these, and I thought you would
perhaps like to look at them,” he said,
producing a packet of periodicals.
Maj. Henderson Was glad to avail
himself of the offer, as current literature
was rather difficult to procure in so out-
of-the-way place.
After a little further conversation Mr
Browne was asked if he would care to
jyin the uncle and niece in their morning
ramble. Again lie would be only too
pleased.
When the trio had gone some distance
Maj. Henderson, wishing to enjoy a quiet
half hour read, suggested that he should
sit. down and rest a little, while Maude
conducted Mr. Browne to a spot close by
whence a good view of Snowdon could
lx? obtained.
‘ *1 would fain, like you, rest awhile,
replied" Mr. Browne; “but as the day is
so Unusually clear I feel I must make an
effort to take advantage of it, especially
as this young lady has so kindly consent
ed to act as my guide.” And so Mr.
Browne hobbled off, with Maude walking
patiently beside him.
As soon as the trees had hidden the
lovers from view Jack drew Maude to
him, while she, half laughing and half
crying, stroked his long gray beard.
“Oh, Jack, what ever made you come
like this? What do you intend to do?”
“This, my sweetest,” and the bold
lover drew from his pocket a marriage
license and wedding ring. Half play
fully the gallant lieutenant removed
Maude’s glove and slipped on the ring.
“What a dear little hand it looks!” he
cried rapturously, “and how happy I
shall be when I can call its dear owner
my pweet little wife. ’ ’
A slight sound fell on their ears, and,
looking up. they beheld Maj. Henderson
not a hundred yards off.
Maude would have been grateful to the
earth had it opened at that moment to
receive her, but as it showed no signs of
accommodating lier. she disengaged her
self from Mr. Browne’s embrace, and
hastily handed him back his ring.
Mr. Browne was equal to the occasion,
although he had grave misgivings as he
hobbled toward Maj. Henderson. “Were
you hastening to ioin us? You see we
haven’t got far. I am a wretched walker
at the best- of times; and in such scenery
as this one feels forced to pause fre
quently to look around. ’ ’
‘ T expected to meet you coming back, ’ ’
explained the major. “But I was look
ing for you in that direction,” indicating
another path more to the right. • ‘I was
quite surprised when I saw you coming
toward me.”
With what feelings of relief did the
lovers listen to the major’s innocent re
marks!
At their early dinner the major drew
from his pocket a letter which he had re
ceived by the morning’s post and had
forgotten to read. With a polite “Ex
cuse me, my dear.” to his niece, he
hastily glanced at the contents. “I must
leave for London by the 11 o'clock train
to-morrow morning,” ‘he exclaimed.
•■This letter is of the utmost importance.
IIow stupid of me to have delayed read
ing it!”
“Am I to accompany you, uncle?”
asked Maude faintly.-
••No, no, my dear; there's no need for
you to do that. I shall be buck here by
the evening of the following day.”
The major was very preoccupied until
pressed Mr. Browne to spend the evening
..at. Honeysuckle cottage. Tea being over,
-the major asked Maude if she would
mind packing his portmanteau for him.
.. “I have laid out the things I %ish
Sake. n% dear. You will fit them in
Snore neatly than I eould.
" Maine* was delighted toJhave an dp-
portunity of doing at last a little kindly
net. £ \ ' ■'•■mT. r
Directly she left the room, the major
began fidgeting about, and at length got
up and paced the room. Suddenly turn
ing to Mr. Browne, he* said: r “Compara
tive stranger as you are to me. I feel as
if I must tell you the nature of the busi
ness which is calling me to London sc
unexpectedly. The blow lias fallen so
unexpectedly that to speak of it would be
an immense relief.” '
The stranger was all sympathetic atten
tion in a moment.
“Mr. Browne,” continued the major
excitedly, “this time yesterday I believed
that poor girl up stairs to be mistress of a
fairly large fortune. Today— if the in
formation I received is correct—I know
her to be penniless. And that is not all;
the greater part, if not the whole, of my
income is lost also.”
So sympathetic was Mr. Browne that
he wanted to know all the details. These,
however, the major was unable to fur
nish, in fact, he could explain nothing
satisfactorily, so great was the state of
exiitement into which he had worked
liimself.
“Hush!” he 6aid, as he heard Maude
approaching. “Not a word to her. I
would not disturb her peaceful mind for
worlds, poor girl, until I am certain how
the matter stands. ”
The next clay, about an hour after her
uncle had left for London, Maude re
ceived the following penciled note from
Mr. Browne:
.“My Own Darling: I am the most un
lucky dog that ever lived. I passed a
wretched night, and this morning I am
too ill to leave my bed. To be disabled
today, when I was to have arranged for
the event which is to make me the hap
piest man in England! I have sent for
the village “bones,” and if he can but
patch me up it may not yet be too late.
Send a book back by bearer, to account
for having received a letter from your
nearly frantic Jack.”
Poor Maude 1 The torturing suspense
of that day! In the evening she ven
tured tff ask the landlady to inquire how
Mr. Browne was. “No better,” was the
alarming reply.
Maude passed a sleepless night. In
the morning site received a seoond note
from her dear Jack, even more despair
ing in its tone than the former one.
“Fate is against us,” he wrote; “I feel
as if I shall never be able to call you
mine.”
! In the middle of the day she again sent
■ to inquire after, her lover, and was over
powered when she heard he was much
better, and was even thinking of getting
up, his recovery being fair to be as sud
den as his seizure.
That evening Maj. Henderson returned.
Hardly had he knocked at the door, when
Mr. Browne emerged from the opposite
cottage,
“What news, sir?” asked the sympa
thetic Mr. Browne.
; “The worst possible,” replied the
major, throwing himself into an easy
chair, and covering his face with his
hands. “That poor girl yonder is a beg
gar, and I have but a hundred a year
left.”
Maude looked from one to the other in
utter bewilderment, and. then crossed over
to her uncle, trying to comfort him and
gain some explanation at the same time.
• ‘I feel this is no scene for a stranger
to witness,” said Mr, Browne. “Sir, you
have mv deepest sympathy, and I am
sure that the present moment I can show
it in no better way than by withdraw-
^ae uo nearer to London than the top
room in Honeysuckle cottage.
The truth was the major had discovered
what was going on when he had come

take the landlady into his confidence, and
she, fully entering into the spirit of the
thing, had suggested the major occupy
ing the top room in ■ her cottage, whence
lie could witch' Mr. Browne’s move
ments. And so Maj. Henderson had
merely walked to the station, portman-
tcau in hand, ami, returning* had en
tered Honeysuckle cottage by the back
way. 5 A
Maude’s grief and humiliation wore so
real when she heard these details that her
uncle, thinking she would not care to re
main where her story \|as known, wisely
suggested returning hetne the following
day. ” *
“We can give a garden party or some
thing of that kind in honor of your 21st
birthday. It will be a few days after
the event, but that won’t matter. I
would give a good deal to see that-young
fortune hunter’s face, when he finds out
how he has been duped. There’s uo fear
of his tittle tattling about it, though, for
his own sake, so the story won’t get all
over the town. I suppose, my dear,
added Maj. Henderson, rather anxiously,
“you’ll never let him again find the way
to your kind little hearrVith his honeyed
words?” -
Maude drew herself up to l^er full
height. “No, irtdeed, uncle, that I never
will. To use his own words, I am quite
cured.”
Before the year was out another suitor
asked for Maude’s hand, and on this oc
casion the anxious pleader did not have
any cause to complain of Maj. Hender
son’s obstinacy.—Chambers’ Journal.

Maude followed her lover to the door.
She was much distressed on her uncle’s
account, but did; not fully realize her own
loss of fortune.
“Are you really better, dear Jack?”
she asked anxiously.
“Yes, thank you. Quite cured. Gcod-
bv,” and lie was gone.
That her lover’s leave taking was a
little abrupt did strike Maude; site
however,' far too confused by the turn
affairs had taken to attach much impor
tance to the first circumstance.
When she returned to her uncle he
seemed wonderfully better, and at sup
per he talked cheerfully of their future.
Maude passed another sleepless night.
She did not so much mind the Lci'AIe
loss she had sustained on her own ac
count. but she was bitterly disappointed
that she could not do all she had prom
ised for'her clear Jack- She determined,
however, to be the most loving and
economical wife possible. At all events,
her uncle would not- be able to accuse
Jack of being mercenary now, and there
was much comfort in that reflection.
Perhaps, after all. they would be able to
Education In Germany.
The Germans are rapidly developing a
system, of evening . continuation classes
which carry on education for two or three
years longer. In Saxony the boys who
leave the primary school, if they do not
go to the higher schools, must attend for
three years longer—say until they are 11
—continuation classes for at least five
hours per week. But teaching is pro
vided for them, and they are encouraged
to attend twelve hours per week. So
complete is this system that even the
waiters at the hotels up to the age of 17
attend afternoon classes, and are taught
one or two foreign languages. I take
Saxony as one of the most advanced
states, but the law is much the same in
Wurtemberg and Baden, and the system
is found to work so well that it is in con
templation to extend it to all the states in
the German; empire, and Austria will
probably follow suit. This is confidently
expected to happen in the course of 1888.
I may state-as an undoubted fact that
in Germany and Switzerland, and I be
lieve in some other continental countries,
the opinion is ripening into a conviction
that the education, even of the poorest
class, should be continued in some form
or another to the age of 16 or 17. They
find by experience that wherever this is
adopted it gives an enormous advan
tage to the people in- the competition of
life, and, above all, trains them to habits
of industry and mental application. I be
lieve it is owing to this system of thorough
education that Germany has ahnost ex
tinguished the pauper and semi-pauper
class which is the bane and disgrace of
our country.—London Times.
but as Maude had also j have a proper wedding, only, of course,
dinner was over,
much food for reflection, silence was
agreeable to both.
“I wonder if I could do anything for
Mr. Browne while I am in town?"
queried the major. “My dear.’’ turning
Co Maude, “just write a little note fo him
asking him to step over for a minute.
You know we half promised to show him
the way to Fairy gleu .this afternoon.
I don’t fe, 1 inclined for any more walk
ing myself, but there is no reason why
you shouldn't accompany him, if you are
not tired and he is agreeable to the ar
rangement.
Maude's note quickly brought Mr.
Browne, and the lovers were soon on
their way to Fairy glen.
■ --My darling, we are in luck’s way!”
exclaimed Jack. “Your uncle's absence
will make matters as simple as an A, B.
C guide. I shall have to-morrow * to
make the necessary arrangements. We
can lx* married the following morning,
and by the time your uncle returns in
the evening we shall be miles away from
here.” , . t.
Maude acquiesced rather reluctantly.
She loved Jack dearly, but still she had
some compunction about deceiving her
uncle, who. with the exception of the
unaccountable obstinacy he hail shown
toward her lover* had always been ready
to humor her. Jack, however, drew
such a glowing picture of the happiness
in store for them, and deelhred -with so
much confidence Maj. Henderson's anger
would not last more than Hired d-eeks
when once the irrevocable step was token,
that.Mahde was much comforted.
When they returned Maj. Henderson
it would have to lx? a very quiet one.
How much nicer that would be than run
ning away and deceiving her uncle, who
had always been so kind to her.
'VYlien she came down to breakfast the
next morning she was looking pale and
a little worn after her two sleepless
nights. The major, however, seemed to
have succeeded in throwing off liis grief
in quite a wonderful manner, and was in
almost his usual spirits.
“Have you heard how Mr. Browne is
this morning?” Maude ventured to ask
the landlady’s daughter.
“Why. miss, he paid me for the week
and went off by the mail train last night,
declaring he was sure the place didn’t
suit him.”
Poor Maude! The blow did indeed
fall on her with crushing force.
“Dear me, rather sudden! We shall
miss the old gentleman, eh. Miss Maude?”
said the major, as soon as the uncle and
niece were left together. He bid a slight
stress on ti»e adjective, and there was a
suspicion.'of fun in liis eye. It was, how
ever. no laughing matter to Maude; she,
poor girl, unable longer to act her part,
bust into an uncontrollable fit of weep
ing.
••Poor child, poor "child!” said the
major, compassionately; “it’s a shaqi
lesson for you to learn. But it is better
to bear a tittle pain now than to suffer
for tbe remainder of your life, as woukl
most probably have been your fate if I
had not paid that ’ scoundrel out in his
own c6in‘. ”

Dine Bark as a Diet.
One article of subsistence sometimes
employed by the Indians is only resorted
:o when they are driven to great straits
by hunger. Around many of the water
ing places in the pine forests of Oregon
and California the trees of Pinus pon-
lerosa may be seen stripped of their bark
cor a space of three or four feet near the
base of the trunk. This has been ac
complished by cutting with a hatchet a
.ine around tlie tree as high up as one
•_'ould conveniently reach, and another
lower down, so- that the bark, severed
ibove and below, could be removed in
strips. At certain seasons of the year a
mucilaginous film (the liburnuni) separ-
ites the bark from the wood of the
trunk. Part of this film adheres to each
surface and may be scraped off. The re
sulting mixture of mucilage cells and
talf formed wood is nuui-.iuus and not
unpalatable, so that, as a last resort, it
may be used as a defense against starva-
ion. The frequency with which sign?
af its having been resorted to are met
with, is a stricing indication of the un
certainties and irregularities of the supply
department among savages.—Popular

Interviewing Gen. Kntler.
Gen. Butler, as is well known, is the
ideal man to interview—when he is will
ing to talk, I hasten to say. He holds up
both ends of the conversation, dictating
questions and answers; and he lias been
known, when lie found that his visitor
was not a shorthand man, to eall in his
private secretary and make that unfortu
nate man do the reporter’s work. We
hear little about Gen. Butler being mis
quoted, by the way.—W. E. Brigham in
