A poor girl in Chicago searching for
employment was offered a place in a dry
goods store nt |3 a week. The cheapest
board which she could obtain cost $3 a
Week, and the problem was naturally a
a difficult one. Her plight attracted at
tention. It was found that many others
working for pitifully small wages were
unable to find respectable board with
in their means. The outcome has
been the opening up of a house for self
supporting women on Illinois street,
Chicago, which it is hoped, will be fol
lowed by others. A few philanthropic
ladies led the way, ami now over fifty
wot king girls arc provided with a com
fortable home like living'place. A night’s
lodging costs 15 cents, or f 1.05 a week,
nml breakfast is five cents extra, the two
costing 1ff.40 weekly. Later, when fa
cilities are provided, other meals will bo
furnished. There is a pleasant parlor,
and there will be a library. This is not
a ehtirily, for the managers very sensibly
aim to make tin' institution self support
ing. But it is a novel attempt to reduce
the cost of living to the lowest possible
ligures compatible with the requirements
of reason and comfort. Other “Homes”
make comparatively elaborate provisions,
which increase the cost of board. But
the l liieago ‘‘Home’' is the most promis
ing attempt to provide a respectable
nml co ufortable bom ding -pl ice for $2 to
t's’.oO u week, and it deserves success.
'I he Department of Agriculture has,
through its entomologist, Professor
Hiley, issued a bulletin on the insects
which have devastate I the shade trees in
Washington, particularly the rows of
poplars on Fourteenth street, in 1886.
The two principal depredators were the
elm leal-bittle and the fall web-worm.
The former has defoliated the elms from
New York’to Virginia, and done great
injury to many valuable shade trees; but
now we have in detail the methods of
successfully combating this ami other
sue'i pests. The only way to deal with
such hurtles of insects is to spray the trees
about tin* middle of May tin the Central
States!, mid repeat once a fortnight later,
with Lend >n purple, by mixing it in
water in a barrel and applying it to a
grove of trees by a force pump, through
an extensive tube consisting of a hose
lutd long bamboo tube. In tjiis way trees
or groves can be quickly sprated. This
invention can Ik* used in forests, and is
likewise useful for poisoning fruit tress,
when not in fruit, w hile a shorter kind of
extension pi|>c is convenient for under
spraying all kinds of low plants. A
third grievous |H*st is the tussock cater
pillar, which has wrought great damage
in Boston, New York and Philadelphia.
It w ill probable become more numerous
in other cities.
I SHALL KIND REST.
A little further on—
There will be a time I shall fl ml rest anon;
Thus do wo say, while eager youth invites
Young hope to try her wings in wanton
flights,
And nimble fancy builds the soul a nest
On some fur crag; but soon your name is
gone—
Burned lightly out while wo n*|s*at the jest
With smiling confidence I shall find rest
A little further on.
A little further on
I shall Hud rest; half fiercely we avow
When noon boats on the dusty field and care
Threats to unjoint our armor, and the glare
Throbs with the pulse of battle, while life's
best
Flies with the flitting stars; the frenzied
brow
I’ains for tin* laurel more than for the breast
Where taive soft-nestling waits. Not now,
not now.
With feverish breath we cry, I shall find rest
A little further on.
A little further on
I shall find rest: half sail, at last, we say,
When sorrow's settling clouds blurs out the
gleam
Os glory's torch, and to a vanished dream
Love's palace hath been turnisl, then—all
depressed,
Despairing, sick at lieart—we may not stay
Our weary feet, so lonely then doth seem
This shallow haunted world. We, so un
blest,
Weep not to see the grave which waits its
guest;
And feeling round our feet the cool, sweet
*'>ay,
We speak the fading world farewell and say:
Not on this side—alas! —l shall find rest
A little further on.

UNCLE NAIIITArS WEDDING.
Uncle Nahum Nixon was reading the
paper in his back parlor. Nobody would
think, to look at flu* simple surroundings
of tin- unpretentious apartments, that
Mr. Nahum Nixon w as one of the wealth
iest men in town. The carpet, it is true,
was Axminster, but it had seen twenty
two good years of service, and was down
to the very warp; the faded red curtains !
were of moreen, instead of silk damask ; (
the old clock on the mantel was no '
Parisian affair of alabaster and gilt, but
a substantial ('<setieut timepiece that
struck with a whirr, like a partridge
Springing out of her nest; the chairs of I
old fashioned mahogany and hair cloth
stood upright against the wall; the por
traits of General Washington on horse
back nml the surrender of Cornwallis,
ornamented the gay-papered walls in
frnmes of sombre gilt, ami the one elo
gance of the apartment was a preposter- .
ous bouquet of wax flowers under a
cracked-glass shade.
But I ncle Nixon bad remembered that
furniture ever since he was a child, and
he wouldn’t have, exchanged it for the
fittings of a Parisian boudoir of the
choicest specimens of the modern East -
lake pattern. lb* was a rich man; that,
was quite enough for him.
“I- you please, Mr. Nixon,” said the
trim maid servant, “.Ur. Marmaduke
Bourne wants to see you, if you please,
sir, if you arc quite at’leisurc.”
"Mr. Marmaduke Bourne, eh?" The
old gentleman took oil' his spectacles and
laid them upon the folded newspaper.
“Ask him to come in, Polly.”
Ami Mr. Marmaduke Bourne came in,
a tall, fresh colored young fellow, with
sparkling gray eyes ami a straight Greek
nose, that seemed as if it had been bor
rowed from .some ancient statute of
Apollo.
"Wi 11, sir?" said Mr. Nixon.
“Well, sir?” counter interrogated Mr.
Bourne, “dal you get my letter?"
“I got your letter,’' said Uncle Nahum.
“So you want to marry my niece Faith:’’ ;
“Yes, sir,” valiantly acknowledge Mr.
Marmaduke Bourne.
"Ah!" nodded Uncle Nahum. “But
prchnps i<m don't understand all the
tacts of the case."
“The facts, sir?”
“I want my niece to marry Colonel
A-bland's son," slowly enunciated Uncle
Nahum.
“But, sir, she doesn’t love him:”
“Pshaw!" smirk'd Uncle Nahum.
“And if she doesn’t marry him she w ill
be a beggar: I will give her no money of
mine. Now do you understand matters.
Marry her or not ns you please."
He took up the new-paper once more ,
—a tacit intimation that the interview
was nt an end
“Sir" b gan Marmaduke.
“That will <lo," said Mr. Nixon.
“I only wish to
“I'll,at will.do." thundered Mr. Nixon,
nml so Marmaduke went away.
Little Faith Nixon < nine down stairs
presently, n blue eyed blossom of a girl,
with yellow hair growing low down on
her forehead, and a very little mouth,
exactly the shape to suggest the idea of 1
kissing.
I m le Nahum looked keenly up at her
as she fluttered about.the room, straight
ening a table cover there or patting down
a fold here.
"Yes," said he, with a curious twitch
of the muscles around his eyes, "he has
been lu re.”
"I I did not ask any question, I nch* ’
Nahum.',
“No, but your eyes did,” chuckled the
old man. “He wants to marry you the
im| incident young donkey."
Faith came to her uncle's chai;* ami
laid her hand on his shoulder.
“T hat is not the worst of it, Uncle
Nahum I want to marry him."
“Humph!" snarled Mr. Nijon, inhigh
contempt. “And what do you expect to
live on. 1 should like to know?"
"We can both work," said Faith
brat ely.
“You're more likely to starve," said
Mr Nixon. “ Mind, don't count on help
from me. If you will get married, you
do it at your own risk."
“Then you consent. Uncle Nahum "
“No!"roared the old bachelor. “Noth
ing of the* sort."
“But, Uncle' Nahum. I should lx*
wretched without Duke!" softly pleaded
Faith
“Fiddhstrings!" said the* old man.
"And I'm sure he couldn't live with
out me."
“Trash!” grunted Mr. Nixon.
“And if you please, uncle," added
Faith, "perhaps I'd better go to my
fri. il Violet Smith s to make up n y
wedding things, since you disapprove so '
decidedly of my plans. Bhe live* In
New York, you know, and it will be
convenient for shopping, and—"
‘•And for all other tomfooleries in g* n
oral,” rudely interrupted the old gentle
' man. “Yes, go to your Violet Smith's,
! but don’t expect to come back here.”
“No, uncle,” said Faith, meekly.
’ “But you'll let me, thank you for all your
kindnesss, and—”
“No, I won’t!” said Uncle Nahum, so
shortly that poor Faith fled up stairs in
dismay, nml had a quiet little cry, not
withstanding that she was so very, very
happy.
For I ncle Nahum,brusque and crabbed
though he was, was all the father she had
ever known. But she packed her trunk
' and went to Violet Smith's in New York,
which was all the pleasanter, in that
Marmaduke -Bourne had also betaken
himself to this modern Gotham and gone
to work studying law as if he meant to
take Coke and Blackstone by storm.
And Miss Violet Smith, who was a sen
timental young lady, sympathized in
tensely, ami the young couple were as
unreasonably happy as many another
couple had been before, nml will be
again.
But one day Duke Bourne came In
with a face full of tidings.
“Faith,” said he, “have you heard the
news?” -
“What news?" asked Faith.
“Your Uncle will get the start of us,
after all."
“What do you mean, Duke?"
“Why, he's going to be married.”
“Uncle Nahum?" cried Faith, incredu
lously.
“Yes, Uncle. That accounts for his
being so willing to get rid of us, ch, lit
tle one?”
“And who is the bride?” questioned
Faith.
“Why, that's the mooted y>int yet.
Nobody seems to know. Some say one,
ami some say another; but the general
impression seems to be that it is the rich
widow who owns the brownstone block
on the corner."
“I’m sure I hope he will be happy,"
said Faith with tremulous lips and eyes
suffused with tears. “But I think he
might have said something to us about
it."
“People are not generally in a hurry to
proclaim the fact that they are about to
make fools of themselves,” said Duke
Bourne bitterly.
“Why,” cried Faith, laughing through
her tears, “that is precisely what he said
of us.”
But the next day a letter from Uncle
Nahum himself settled the matter. He
wrote:
“There is to be a wedding at my house
on the 17th. and I want you ami Marma
duke to be there without fail.”
“A wedding! At his house!” cried
Faith. “I supposed weddings were cele
brated at the bride’s residence.”
“Ho they are, dear,” said Miss Smith;
“but your uncle was always so eccentric.’’
“What shall we do?” asked Faith.
“Why, goof course," said Marmaduke
Bourne, “to show that we bear no ill
will, if for no other reason."
The 17th of March arrived, a cold,
blustering night, and the old red brick
bouse was all in a glimmer of light as
the young betrothed pair drew up to the
door. Uncle Nahum met them on the
threshold, in his old-fashioned, swallow
tailed coat, with a huge white camclia in
his buttonhole and a pair of surprisingly
white kid gloves.
“Have you brought your white frock?"
was his first question to his niece.
“No, Uncle, I—”
“That won't do," said Uncle Nanutn.
“No one must come to my wedding
without a marriage garment. It’s lucky
I provided one for you. Come upstairs
now ami change your die s.”
“But, uncle, a white silk!" cried Faith,
looking in dismay at the glistening dress
laid out for her use.
“What then? Isn’t white silk the
thing for a wedding? Put it on quick,
and I’ll scud some one to bring you down
in five minutes.”
And so, with a doubting heart, Faith
Nixon robed herself in the white dress,
with its trimmings of vapory blonde and
long trail.
“Where’s your veil?" said Uncle Na
hum. when he came himself, a few min
utes later, to the door.
“ Uncle, I can't wear a veil,” pleaded
Faith.
“ But you must! ” said Uncle Nahum,
“ nobody i onics to my wedding without
a veil.” And he placed the wreath
lightly on her head.
“ But Uncle Nahum, they will take
me for the bride.”
“ Let ’em,” said the old gentleman.
“Take my arm. Now come down
stairs, ami I'll show you the bride.
Here she is.”
Lifting her bewildered eyes, Faith
Nixon beheld her own figure reflected
in a full length mirror at the stairway.
“Here's the bride,” chuckled Uncle
Nahum, leading her up to Bourne, “and
here's the groom,” touching Bourne's
shoulder. “And here's the parson, all
ready and waiting. Now reverend sir. '
to the clergyman' “marry'em as fast as
ever you can." And before cither of the
astonished young couple could remon
strate they were made man and wife.
“Duke," sail] the bride as soon as the
ceremonv was over, “did you know of
this?”
“No, I didn’t," said Mr. Bourne, with
h’s arm very tight around his little wife's
waist. “But 1 must say 1 approve very
highly of the whole proceeding."
Uncle Nahum stood by, rubbing his
hands, with his face wreathed in one
prodigious smile.
“So you supposed it was I who was
going to be married, eh? Not a bit of
it, not a bit of it. I am too old a bird
to be caught with siu h chaff as that.
No. no, Faith. Did you thiuk I was
going to turn my wee birdie out of her
nest, after all the years she has been cher
ished there? No, no, 1 only wanted to
assure myself that your fancy was a real
fancy, and this young rascal here," smit
ing Bourne on the shoulder once more,
“loved you for yourself alone, and not
for the money which he thought the old
man was going to leave you. And you're
to live hen*, both of you. and we will
be happy ever after. Strike up your
harps and tiddies. Let’s have a dance,
let's all be merry together."
Uncle Nahum Nixon himself led off
the bridal quadrille, dancing in the good
old style of fifty years ago.
“I can't have a wedding every day,"
-aid Uncle Nahum, breathlessly, as he
cut a last pigeon wing. * and 1 mean to
make the most of it.”
BEFORE THE RAIN.
The blackcaps pipe among the reeds,
And there ’ll be rain to follow;
There is a murmur as of wind
In every coign and hollow;
The wrens do chatter of their fears
While swinging on the barley-ears.
Come, hurry, while there yet is time,
Pull up thy scarlet bonnet.
Now, sweetheart, as my love is thine.
There is a drop upon it.
So trip it ere the storm hag weird
Doth pluck the barley by the beard.
Lo! not a whit too soon we're housed;
The storm—with yells above us;
The branches rapping on the panes
Seem not in truth to love us.
And look where through the clover bush
The nimble footed rain doth rush!

Spirits of the Mines.
It is a very old fancy says the Philadel
phia Call that mines are inhabited by
spirits, who are jealous of their treasures
and of a ver}’ resentful character. In
early days these spirits assumed the forms
of serpents, especially in Egyptian le
gends, and to such an extent that they
were regarded as the gods of metals, the
most famous being Hoa, the serpent god 1
of Chaldea, master of all wisdom and
guardian of the treasures of the mines.
The belief that evil spirits guard the
treasures of the emerald mines is as com
mon among the Peruvians as it was
among the Scythians in the time of
Pliny. In Sardinia the ancient silver
mines are rarely entered from dread of a
venomous spider called the solifuga, so
named from avoiding the sun. Their bite
was considered fatal. The traditions are
unworthy of belief, but no doubt such a
spider was found in the silver mines, for
Agricola mentions the fact and gave them
the name of Ittcifega.
Death on a Sweet Tooth.
A medical plant is found in India
which destroys the power of tasting
sugar. This plant, thegymnema sylves
tre, grows in the Deccan and in the A—am
and on the Coromondcl coast. By chew
ing two or three leaves of it a person may
extinguish his susceptibility to sweet
savors. Morbid cravings for sweetmeats
that injure indigestion may thus be cor
rected. As thegymnema is said, also to
diminish the power of enjoying a cigar,
great benefit may probably be derived j
from it by imtemperate smokers. Candy
and cigarettes being the bane of the
small boy, prudent parents miy be ex
pected to stock themselvs promptly with j
gymuetna Sylvestre. — Nature.
A DESPERATE FIGHT.
It la Made at Nl«ht With a Savage I.onp- I
Cervier.
“When I was a boy,” said Judge
Poland to a newspaper reporter, “the
woods in Vermont were mighty thick
and the settlers were few. At that time
the w’oods were full of catamounts or
loup-cerveir—‘loo sevee,’ the hunters
called them —and the farmers had great
to do to keep the fierce beasts from
carrying off their sheep and killing their
cattle. A loup cervier is pretty nearly I
as big as a mastiff, as fierce as a tiger, 1
and as strong as a lion, and is altogether !
about as uncomfortable a creature to
deal with as ever lived. My father had j
with him on his farm then a man named
Jonas .Shepherd, a fellow of prodigious |
strength and such great courage that I I
don’t believe he ever knew the sensa- j
tion of fear. My father had not lost i
much by the loup cerviers, becau-e he 1
had kept his stock securely closed in a
strong shed, which none of the prow
ling beasts had yet succeeded in break
ing into. Tire house stood on the edge
,of ihe clearing, and back of it for miles
and miles there was nothing but the
mountains and woods. <no night the
family had all gone to bed except Shep
herd, who sat up by the big pine fire
shelling corn with a jack knife stuck in
a log of wood. Ail of a sudden he
heard a crash from the cattle shed and a
big noise among the cattle. He dashed
out n his shirt sleeves and found that
an enormous loup cervier, the biggest of
his kind ever seen in the country, bad
broken in the roof of the shed and was
in among the sheep.
“As soon a, he heard Shepherd ap
proaching he jumped to the roof of the
shed and, crouching for a moment, j
sprang through the air for the intruder.
Shepherd jumped aside and the big cat
landed harmlessly on the ground. In
an instant he was up again and a furi- '
ous battle between the man and the
savage brute began. Shepherd had a
knife, and for a while he tried to make :
it reach a vital spot, while the ‘loo’
screamed and bit and tore its tremend
ous claws through the man’s flesh. The
noise of the fight awakened the rest of
the family aud father, grabbing up a
pine torch from the fire, ran out of the
house. He was just tn time to see a
curious spectacle. Shepherd, without
a stitch of clothing on and covered from
head to foot with blood, was holding
the screaming, struggling *loo’ by the
throat and heels high above his ead,
and running as fast as he could towards
the woods. We all dashed 'after him.
and were just in time to see the end of
the contest. Shepherd ran into the
brook until he was in up to hi waist,
and then plunged the ferocious brute in
and out of sight. There was a tremend
ous struggle for a few minutes, during
which Shepherd's blood died the brook
red, and then everything was still.
Then Shepherd came out, dragging the
drowned body of the ‘1 o’ after him.
V< e got him to bed as soon as we could
and did everything possible to relieve
him, but it was more than three months
before he was able to stir, and he never
quite recovered from his injuries. My
father said he counted more than 200
distinct wounds on his body. Old
hunters said that if he had'nt had sense
enough, to drown the brute he would
have been killed sure. The fight took
place where one of the finest churches
in New England stands to-day.”
Uncle Jake Ziegler.
The Philadelphia Times says: Uncle
Jake Ziegler of the Butler herald has
not drunk intoxicating liquor, for a
quarter of a century. He deri es his
nickname of uncle from an incident at a
funeral, when the bereaved mpther
asked him if he was ever a father. He
replied:
“Never, madame; bitt I expect to be
an uncle before another sun rises.”
He is so popular at home that during
the war a pious old fanner, who daily
prayed for the preservation of the
Union, and also that the Lor i would
especially visit His displeasure upon the
Democrats and bring confusion upon
them, expressed his wishes thus:
“All of them, Lord, except Uncle
Jake Ziegler, for everybody knows he is
all right.”
