A SONG OF LOVE.
FEANS Ij. STANTON.
O bills, in glory lean
And bathe yonr brows in light;
O velvet valleys, soft between,
Dream gently to the night,.
For she hath said “I love,” and she
Hath given all that to me!
O birds, with thrilling throats,
Glad let yonr music be;
O river, where the splendor boats,
Flow singing to the sea!
Por she hath said “I love,” and she
Hath made that love a crown for me!.
O world, grown green to greet
The joy that comes apace;
Yonr roses for her footsteps sweet,
Your sunshine for her face!
For she hath said “I love,” and shs
Hath made that love a heaven for me!-
THE TWO COUSINS.
By HELEN FORREST GRAVES.
'* Who is that talking in the hall ?”
tartly demanded Mrs. Jennifer,
and tittle Lucille, running to the
door to take a bird’s-eye view of
matters through its yawning carck,
returned with the satisfactory in
formation.
“It’8 Cousin Olive, saying good-
by to Mr. Walbridge!”
Mrs. Jennifer contracted her
showy black eyebrows slightly.
“Is Elise there, too?”
“Why,no, mamma—don’t|you re
member Elise went out for a walk 9
Mrs. Jennifer said nothing more;
but to one used to interpretations
of dumb show, a world of meaning
might have been deciphered in the
swift way in which her needle
flew in and out of the cambric ruf
fle she was hemming.
“Olive! ’ she called sweetly, as
the closing of the front door gave
notice that the visitor had at last
taken his departure; and by way of
answer a bright-faced young girl
presented herself in the doorway—
a girl with shining brown tresses
tied with blue ribbon, soft browD
eyes, and a fresh, blooming com
plexion, like the pink blossoms
that cluster on the kalmia bushes
iu May.
“Well, auut?” she said.
“I've beeD wanting to speak to
you some, time, Olive, dear—sit
down,” purred Mrs. Jennifer.
lour uncle’s circumstances«are
not what they were, as I suppose
you are aware.”
“I did not know it,” said Olive,
slightly changing color.
When people are quite depend
ent on the bounty and good graces
of others, they are apt to be slight
ly sensitive.
“He hsa been obliged to expend
a good deal of money of late, and
I knew you would be perfectly
willing to do all you could, if you
knew his situation—”
“Certainly, aunt!” said Olive,
nervously twisting her fingers to
gether.
“And of course, iu a " large fami
ly like ours, every additional-mem
ber is felt as an additional bur
den .”
But, aunt,” burst out Olive, “I
don’t understand yon. What do
you mean? What is it that you
want me to-do 9 ”
“Pray don’t speak so loud, Ol
ive!” remonstrated Mrs. Jennifer,
mildly elevating her eyebrows.
“You are so brusque—so startling.
I was only going to tell you that
Mrs. Parkman mentioned to me
yesterday that she wanted a new
hand, and that—”
Olive Martin bit her lip—the hot
color started up to her chegk.
“A dressmaker, aunt? 1 ’
“And why not?” calmly retorted
Mrs. Jennifer. “It is the duty of
every young woman to do some
thing to earn an honest liveli
hood.
Olive thought of her Cousin El
ise, white-handed and elegant, who
did not even make her own bed or
dust her own room; she remember
ed the two damsels whose business
it was to wait upon Mrs. Jennifer
and her younger daughters. She
knew that altbongb her own father
had died in wretchedly destitute
circumstances, yet the time had
been when he helped Mr. Jennifer
in such a manner that the latter
had solemnly promised never to
forget the benefits rendered to
him; and she also knew that npon
that father’s deathbed, Moses Jen
nifer had resolved to take his place
toward his orphaned Child, so long
as they both should live. .
“Does my uncle know of this?”,
she asked, suddenly lifting her
frank brown eyes to the crafty face
of the matron.
Certainly!” calmly lied Mrs
Jennifer, without so much as a
conscience-stricken blush.
“Then it is settled,” said Olive,
with a sudden gasp in her throat, which she had fallen, and Mr.
“I will be a dressmaker!'
“Is this really and actually your
wish, my dear?” asked kind Moses
Jennifer, when Olive'told him of
her determination that evening.
“Is it not yours, uncle?”
Mr- Jennifer looked up with a
little startled glance as.the ques
tion was asked.
“My’ wish is for whatever will
make yon feel happy, child,’’Moses
answered, for in his secret heart
he believed that Olive Martin was
not content in his family, and
deeply regretted the circumstance:
After Olive had left the room he
turned to his wife.
“She doesn’t seem so crazy after
the idea as you gave me to ' Sup
pose, Margaret,” he said.
“You can’t always judge by ber
manner, Moses,’’answered the sub
tie wife, who would have deluded
the serpent’s own self had she
been in Mother Eve’s place in Par
adise. “I am sorry to be obliged
to say so, but I do think she’s a
little inclined to be deceitful!”
“Poor child, poor child!” mut
tered Moses Jennifer. “We must
remember, my dea”, that she is fa
therless and motherless!”
Mrs. Jennifer rolled up her eyes
sanctimonionsly.
“I’ve always endeavored to act a
mother’s part toward her, Moses,
she sighed.
But not until Olive Martin was
safely installed in Mrs. Parkman’s
work rooms did Mrs. Jennifer
breathe freely.
“She was actually luring Clar
ence Walbridge away from Elise
under my very eyes and-nose!”
thought the virtuous matron.
“Clarence Walbridge, who is the
best parti in town. Well, there’s
no end to the pretensions of these
country-bred girls. I wonder what
he could possibly have seen ip her
big eyes and melancholy, pursed-
up month! But now Elise will
have a fair chance, poor dear!”
And Miss Elise Jennifer was
duly posted in wh3t she ought to
do and say on the occasion of Mr.
Walbridge’s next visit —a washed-
out pink and white beauty, with
freckled cheeks, flaxen hair, frizzed
into the similitude of a yellow
cloud, and very red lips, which she
was perpetually biting, to preserve
their coral bloom!
“I’ll do my best, m»,” said Elise,
but I .never know what to talk
about when I am with Mr. Wal
bridge.”
“Pshaw!” quoth Mrs. Jennifer,
I’m sure Olive Martin could talk
fast enough.”
But Cousin Olive knows more
than I do,” confessed innocent
Elise.
Mr. Walbridge came as nsnal
that evening, and was simperingly
met by Elise Jennifer, in a becom
ing blue silk dress, with a rose in
her yellow flossy hair, and bine
knots of ribbon fluttering wherev
er a blue knot could possibly be
placed.
“Is your cousin at home?” the
young man asked, rather uncere
moniously, and Miss Elise recol
lected her lesson.
“Oh, didn’t you know,” quoth
she, artlessly,“Olive has left us!”
“Left you?” echoed Clarence
Walbridge,more disappointed than
he chose to own to himself. “What
for?’
Elise lifted her brows, looked at
the carpet, and tried to assume an
arch expression of countenance.
“Of course I can’t be expected to
know, certainly,” she said, “but
mamma and I both had our suspi
cions. In short, I don’t know re
ally how to explain/but I’ve reason
to suppose she has gone away to
be married.”
“To be married?”
“Some faithful cavalier, I be
lieve, who knew her in the ’ days
before her poor dear father died—
it’s all very romantic, and we’re so
sorry to lose her!”
“What is his name?” bluntly
asked Mr. Walbridge.
Elise hesitated; her lesson-had
not embraced this point, -bat she
knew she mast say something, and
lispingly answered:
“Mr.'John Smith”’
At this moment Mrs. Jennifer
came In, all smiles.
'I am so busy since'my niece
left ns,” she said, 1 blandly. “I miss
her terribly; but of coarse it was
my duty to oppose no obstacles
since Mr. Darcy had beenso faith
ful!”
“Mr. Darcy? 1 ’
“Yes, the young gentleman in
question.”
Elise turned the color of car
mine, bat she had not -presence of
mind to extricate herself from the
gulf of misrepresentation into

Walbridge quietly laid all these j
things up in his mind. J
“Oh, mamma!” cried Elise, when j

“Oh* I don’t believe he noticed

And Clarence Walbridge, who
had somehow allowed himself to be
come strangely interested in Miss
ers’ sons are growing up in abso
lute ignorance when there is no
necessity for it. The public schools
furnish a good opportunity for a

Jennifer’s law office,
He, at least, can speak the
truth,” he thought, “which is more
than one can venture to assert of
Mrs. Jennifer and the fair Elise.”
“Walbridge came to my office
this afternoon,” said Mos9s at din
ner, as he plunged bis carving fork
into the juicy depths of a sirloin of
beef. “He asked me where Olive
Martin had gone. Do you know,
be regular hours, at least these
long winter nights, devoted in the
families to reading and instruction
and general information. The fa
ther and mother who are able to
teach their children and neglect
them on the ground that they have
not the time, make a had mistake,
for which there can be no possible
excuse. We must put all the most
important matters first. Some peo-
wife, I believe be really rs inter-1 pie say, “l have no time to study, I
ested in the little thing, and it
would be a first-rate thing for her,
for—”
What did yon tell him?” breath
lessly interrupted Mrs. Jennifer,
pausing in her occupation of pre
paring the dressing for a plate of
lobster.
Why, I said she’d gone to learn
dressmaking at Mrs. Parkman's.
What else should I tell him?”
Oh, Moses!” groaned Mrs. Pen-
nifer.
“Oh, papa!” shrieked Elise.
Honest Moses stared helplessly
from one to the other.
“What do yon both mean?’* he
demanded. “What have I done?”
But he could get no satisfactory
information from either of the la
dies.
Olive Martin was busy over the
puffings of a blue satin skirt, when
Mrs. Parkman came into the room.
“A gentleman to see Miss Mar
tin,” said she, primly. “As a gen
eral thing it is against my rales to
allow my young ladies to receive
company pertaining to the other
Bex, but—”
But Olive escaped from the room
before the lecture was half over, to
see Clarence Walbridge in the shop
without.
“Well, Olive,” he said gayly, as
he took both her hands in his,“you
see I have found yon out!”
“Found me out?” she repeated,
blushing very much, and looking
radiantly pretty.
“Tell'me honestly, Olive,” he
pursued, “is it John Smith or Mr.
Darcy?”
“1 don’t know what yon mean!”
And he explained to her the sto
ry that had been related to him by
Mrs. Jennifer and Miss Elise.
“It is false!” cried Olive, with
sparkling eyes and reddened cheeks.
‘‘How dared they invent such tales
about me! I left Uncle Jennifer’s
because my aunt hinted to me that
my maintenance had become a har
den, and that I ought to support
myself. I could not eat the bitter
bread of dependence, Mr. Wal
bridge. And I do not know what
motive they coaid possibly have
had for giving such a false reason
for my departure.”
“I can guess!” said Clarence
Walbridge shrewdly. “But we will
leave that question for future dis
cussion, -Olive. There is another
one which is of much more present
importance to me.”
“What is it?” Olive innocently
asked.
“Whether or not you will be
come my wife?”
“Mr. Walbridge!”
“My own darling little Olive!
but you nded not speak. I know
from yonr eyes that it is ‘yes.’ ”
And so ended probably tbe first
courtship that was ever happily
consummated in Mrs. Parkman’s
show-rooms.
Mr. Jennifer was the only mem
ber of the family who was really
pleased at his niece’s good luck,
matrimonially speaking. Elise and
her mamma had somehow fallen
into their own trap—nor waB it a
pleasant sensation.

We need system in all our man
agement and business on the farm.
I know many farms where the
evenings are speDt in perfect idle
ness, no books or papers read, or
efforts made for mental improve
ment. Supper .should be fixed at
an hoar as nearly uniform as pos
sible, the table drawn up around
the fire, and the best scholar in
that home put in the lead^to direct
and coatrol the weaker ones. Ev
erybody, father, mother and chil
dren, should take/ part in helping
each other on to improvement. T
have seen negroes on my farm
spend the entire noon hour study
ing and struggling without help,
and finally make fine progress in
books and helpfulness to them
selves and those dependent upon
them.
I have in my knowledge two
young men who never entered a
schoolroom as scholars. They
spent all their lives on a farm.
They labored every day, and had
no intermission. One of them is
now business riianager and leading
proprietor of one of the first mag
azines in the land, and the other a
leading salesman in one of the fin
est business houses in the sontb.
No intelligent man in a day’s time,
in their company, would ever sus

The Future of the South.
St. Louis Republic.
The present condition of the
sontb is. far from what it shonld be,
but its future is once more full of
hope. The votes of snch Western
States as Hlinois gives assurance
that the country has at last out-
grown the sectionalism of I860.
The West- has voted the South
more time to settle its local ques
tions.
As a matter of coarse the fature
of tbe South depends ultimately
on how this time is utiliized, bat
in the immediate fature we have a
right to expect such another era of
prosperity as followed the first
election of Mr. Cleveland. Confi
dence has already largely returned
throughout “the states lately in re
bellion,” and in spite of the low
prices of their agricultural staples,
the southern people are full of
hope. They now feel secure in
the possession of their homes and
property, and they are overjoyed at
the assurance or peace given them
by the crashing vote of the people
in their repudiation of the govern
ing Radical faction of the Repub
lican party.
As the threat of another recon
struction is not at present so for
midable to sonthern investors as it
was lately, investment will natur
ally increase and tbe development
of the resources of tbe South will
be resumed and continued with the
confidence which prevailed from
1884 to 1888..
The Western revolution of 1890
and 1892 is equaled in far-reaching
political importance by nothing
which has happened in America
since the civil war began. It means
that the Southern States are now
fully readmitted to the Union, and
that they are free to work out their
own fature. A reaction is proba
ble enough,but it will be only tem
porary, and it is safe enough to say
that the Sonthern States are now
back in tbe Union on a basis of
full equality. Until negro suffrage
is by State laws so adjusted that it
wilL neither threaten the prosper!
ty of the community, deprive the
negroes of their rights, nor give
gronnds for the charge of unequal
representation in congress, attacks
will be made by Radicals on the
South as a section because of on
fortunate conditions iu a few dis
tricts, bat the Southern people
have tbe assurance that they are
free now to “go ahead and attend
to their own business” without the
fear that Mr. .Benjamin Harrison
will be able to undo their work and
pnnish them as rebels and traitors.
Hair Assorted to Callings.
Dr. Deddoe tells ns that there is
a direct relation between men’s
pursuits and the color of their hair.
An nnusnal proportion of men with
dark straight hair enter the minis
try; red whiskered men are apt to
be given to sporting and horse
flesh, while the tall, vigorona blond
men, lineal descendants of the Vik-
ings, still contribute a large con
tingent to onr travelers ana emi
grants. .
The plumage of canary birds can
be considerably altered toward red

THE PENSION ENORMITY.
New York'World.
The pension list costs $120,000,-
000 more than the entire expenses
of the government in the year be
fore the war. It has increased
$160,000,000 since 1877, when'the
war had been ended a dozen years.
The number of pensioners on
the 1st of January will almost
equal the regular standing armies
of France and Germany combined,
which contain 1,046,000 men.
The cost of the list exceeds by
$73,000,000 the annnal cost of the
great standing army of overtaxed
Germany. Its exceeds by $56,000,-
000 the cost of the standing army
of France.
Under the reckless ingenuity of
rapacious claim agents ard the
partisan zeal of a corrupt pension
commissioner the list is increasing
at the rate of $350,000 a month. If
not checked the cost for 1894 will
reach the enormous sum of $210,-
000,000.
Good Cause for Suicide.
William Harman, a resident of
Titusville, Pa., committed snicide
recently from a melancholy convic
tion that he was his own grand
father. Here is the singalar letter
that he left—“1 married a widow
who had a grown np daughter. My
father visited onr house very often,
fell in love with my step-danghter
and married her. So my father be
came my son-in-law, and my step-
danghter my mother, because she
was my father’s wife. Some time
afterward my wife had a son.; he
was my father’s brother-in-law and
my uncle, for he was the brother
of my step-mother. My father’s
wife—i. e., my step-danghter—had
also a son; he was, of course, my
brother and in the meantime my
grandchild, for he was the son of
my daughter. My wife was my
grandmother, because she was my
mother’s mother. I was my wife’s
husband and grandchild at the
same time. And the hnsband of a
person’s grandmother is his grand
father, I was my own grandfather.”

The Beauty Standard.
The standard of female loveli
ness varies greatly in different
countries and with indididnal
tastes. Some prefer the plnmp
and bnxom type; some admire the
slender and sylph-like, and some
the tall and queenly maiden. Bnt
all people of the Caucasian race,
one point of beauty is always ad
mired—a pare, clear and spotless
complexion—whether the female
be of the blonde, brunette, or
hazel-eyed type. This first great
requisite of loveliness can be as- '
sored only by a pare state of the
blood, active liver, good appetite
and digestiofi, all of which are se
cured by the "use of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It is
guaranteed to accomplish all that
is claimed for it, or money refund
ed. If yon would have a clear,
lovely complexion, free from erap-
lion,moth patches, spots and blem
ishes, use the “Golden Medical
Discovery.”
The exodus of Americans to Eu
rope for the present year beats all
previous records. The European
edition of the New York Herald
figares the number of Americans
in Europe daring August amount
ed to 150,000, and that daring the
four months from April 1st they
spent about $70,000,000. It is Said
that the fashionable tailors, millin
ers and costumers in onr great
cities are seriously alarmed at the
prospects for .their trade, as all
these people come home with _ -
heavy stocks of clothing on hand.
Imports of wheat into Great
Britain daring the fiscal year just
closed have amounted to nearly
180,000,000 bnshels. This large
quantity is in excess of the present ^
requirements of the country, and
the resnl has been that the price
of this grain has fallen lower than
ever known previously. It is be
lieved that 160,000,000 bnshels
will be needed to snpply the de^
fieiencies of the eoming year.
