t When the Grass Shall Cover Me. When the grass Bhall cover me, Head to foot, where I am lying ; When not any wind that blows, Summer blooms nor winter snows, Shall awake me to yonr sighing ; Close above me as you pass, You will say ; " How kind 6he was, You will say : " How true she was,' When the grass grows over me. . When the grass shall cover mo, Holden close to earth's warm bosom ; While I laugh, or weep, or sing Never more for anything; You will find in blade and blossom, Sweet, small, voices, odorous, Tender pleaders in my cause, That shall speak me as I was? When the grass grows over me. When the grass shall cover me! Ah, beloved, in my sorrow Very patient, I can wait? Ivnowiug that, or soon or late, Thero will dawn a clearer morrow ; When yonr heart will moan, " Alas! Now I know how true she was ; Now I know how dear she was," When the grass grows over me. Playing the Dressmaker. Mrs. Ross Ruslington sat dignified, haughty, belf-possessed. Mrs. Koss Ruslingtou was indignant, and took no pains to hide that fact, and all because her son had rebelled?all because her one darling had seen fit tc consult his own heart in falling in love. Ernest Ruslington was one of those handsome, tenderly-worshipful fellowstall, strong, affectionate-hearted, with a devoted way that goes so snrely to a woman's heart, that made his motliei idolize him as he deserved, that made little Mamie Morgan fairly thrill with rapturous love for him, that made ever stately Miss Genevieve Wallace admire him, and feel in no ways averse to tht plan Mrs. Ruslington had arranged, thai her handsome 6on should present Miss Genevieve as his wife. But in this especial instance Mr. Ernest Ruslington was proving, beyond the shadow of a doubt that, while he and Mamie Morgan and Cupid had proposed their future way of happiness, his mothei was determined to dispose ot them allexcept her boy?very summarily. And to this end was the interview tending when Mrs. Rjislington sat in her blut silken-cushioned chair, with her fail blonde face as stern as her well-bred indignation could make it. Mr. Ruslington stood at one end of the low mantle-piece, his elbow resting upon it, his head leaning lightly on hie hand, listening courteously to his mother's low-spoken, yet none the less passionate words. "But you are so entirely mistaken, mother. If you would only permit me to bring Mamie to see you, if you would only give her an opportunity to let you see her, I am positive you would change your mind. She is a dainty, refined nigh-bred little lady, with a face sc sweet that it would appeal to you instantly.' You would love her, mother, if you would only lay aside your pride, your injustice." Mrs. Ruslington only smiled faintly. "Iain sorry you look upon me ae prejudiced, my dear boy. I have always -. studied your interests, I think, and now, when I recommendyou so strongly to marry Genevieve Wallace, you surely must understand I regard it for your great good. Genevieve is very pretty, undeniably a lady in birth, manners, education and position. She is very rich, and would make a most suitable match for you.'" **li I loved, her?which I do not and Cdhnot. Mother, it seems to me you should not seek to bias my judgment in mis, xne mobi liiiporuiui cvcui vu iujr xuo. All my life I have tried to please you, all my life been governed very much by your wishes and advice; but in tine case, you must permit me to know my own heart. You must remember that where one has carefully hoarded all their wealth of affection, ana not frittered it ayay on every pretty face, when one has never loved until they have brought their judgment and their disciplined maturity to concur as I do, that such love is a resistless passion, not to be trifled with by any one." Mrs. Kuslington looked at his very quiet, determined face, and knew he would stand by what he paid, and the ealization that Mamie Morgan would be the wife of Ernest. Ruslington came to her with such abhorent force that she rose from her chair, flashing-eyed,frostyvoiced.' :& : "I remember nothing but that my son intends to disgrace his family and himsftlf. I shall never mention the matA 1 i. Kjr UgiULll, UUb, JCCOb wsuicu, iiw u jvu marry this obscure, ordinary girl, whose pretty face is her only commendation? husli, if you. please!?if you do it, all further communication with me and this house, and your income, will be ended." ? * * * r\ * * " And you are sure, perfectly sure, it was right, Ernest ? I am so afraid that I have been doing wrong in permit ting myself to sfend between you and your mother. Oh, Ernest, it is the only unhappiness that comes to me as , yo'Ur wife?this knowledge that I am the cause of you and her being enemies." . /Mamie Ruslington, the year-old wife, was leaning her lovely head on her husband's shoulder, and together they were looking interestingly down on a little golden-flossed head nestled among blankets and lawn, from which it will bededuced that Ernest Ruslington had not been intimidated by his mother's threats, but had bravely foresworn luxury and elegance for the sake of the girl he loved and who loved him, and married her, conscious that he was in the right. Mamie Morgan had never been accustomed to surrounding? that were more than plainly comfortable, so that to her the pleasant little home her husband took her to, and which he was enablt>d to make lor them in consideration ol: a snug little sum of money in the bank, saved from his income, was a very paradise to her, where she was as happy as the day was long, after Ernest had reasoned her into believing it was not her fault that his mother refused to countenance them. He had not been long in obtaining a good position, and on the salary he received he and his young wife lived well, even elegantly. Then a little baby-girl had come to them, and over the nestling cradle, ovei this child, Mamie's conscience condemned her afresh, and she cried ovei baby's flossy golden hair. 4 41 wish as heartily as you do, darling, that my mother would be friends with us, and she shall know your delicat* compliment in naming baby Helen Ber Sn, after her own maiden name. Whc ows but that this pet of ours will prov( a peacemaker ?" True to his word Ernest wrote to liif mother, telling her of the birth of if child, her grand-daughter, and renewing his invitation?in his frank, eager way, that warf jet perfectly free from fawning ?to come to his home and be convinced that Mamie had made, not marred, hif happiness. Mrs. Rnslington was conquered by th< letter?by the sweet news that alVayi touches a true woman's heart. Almost all those long months since he: darling had gone "from her home to b< the delight of another loTjjng woman'i life, she had been wearying for him,an< daily, hourly, regretting that she hac said such cruel things to him. Within an hour sho was with her soi at his office, the first time she had Beei him since the day he had told her Mami< Morgan was his wife, and this prouc woman sobbed out her true heart full ness on her son's breast.

But, my boy, if ] can't love her as I would like to, yot musn't blame me. will you ? I'll try foj your own and your baby's sake." Ernest smiled confidently. "You won't have to try, mother, You'll find the dearest little woman ir the world glad to receive you, and waiting to love you as a dear child should. Goto her at once." . She did go, and was shown into the k parlor by the maid without giving hei name, merely requesting the girl to tell her mistress a lady desired to see her. There came into the room a slight, graceful, girlish creature with beautiful violet-blue eyes, and hair of soft, lustrous brown, that was crimped slightly from the parting, and gathered into a ? thick Grecian knot at the back of the classic little head. She wore a wrapper of gray serge, with pockets, collar and buttons of brown silk. There was a dainty linen collar and a bright blue ribbon bow at the neck, orwl linan />uATa of. flin amoll rnund wrists. There -were no earrings or jewelry of any kind, and Mrs. Ruslington's judgment gave a thrill of approval?even under a protest from pride?as this girlishly-womanly creature oame forward with an ease and graciousness that never could have been acquired. " I am glad you have come. Lay off your cloak and hat, please, and we will [ go into the nursery. I have all my dress! making dono there now, so that I can keep an eye to baby, you know." Mrs. Ruslington liked the voice very much, but hardly the peculiarity of address. "In the nursery, Mrs. Ruslington? ; I certainly would be glad to see the j bab}\" " You will see plenty of her," Mrs. i Ernest laughed, " before I am done ! with you. Oh, did you bring the poloj uaise pattern, Mrs.?there ! I told my 11 husbaud I never could remember the ] dressmaker's name he said he would send?Mrs.?oh, yes?Mrs. Abercrom ! bie ! You did bring the polonaise pat> j tern ?" j Mrs. Rnslington, senior, understood i! it all in a flash. I Her daughter-in-law, whom she had ' finally condescended to visit, mistook ' her for the dressmaker. i Mrs. Rnslington, junior, was inly i astonished to see such a dignified, wellJ dressed lady come to help her make up her black silk, and, while Mamie was ' | absent a moment in response to a little >; nestling err .from baby Helen, grandi mamma Helen suddenly began to enjoy 1 the situation, and when Mamie came ' ; back, said : i I "I have forgotten the pattern, Mrs. II Rnslington, but I think we can make j the skirt first, and leave the polonaise until to-morrow." t And Mrs* Helen Berwyn Ruslingten, ' j or Mrs. Ross Ruslington, as her cards ' I rend, actually cut out and basted the " j breadths in her despised daugliter-inI law'8 black silk. She contrived the trimming, and made : such stylish suggestions that Mamie ' congratulated herself on her acquisition. 1 And the while, there was not a look, a word, a gesture of the young wife's that escaped the eyes of the deft-handed masquerader. She watched the tender, j womanly way she cared for her little j one ; the sensible, economical mode of , her housekeeping arrangements ; the L plain, palatable lunch; the dignity of 1 the young mistress to her one servant; ' her intelligent industriousness and her 1 sewing while baby slept; her patience, her amiability, and her beautiful unconscious adoration of her husband that betrayed itself at every torn. it was not yen mree o qjlock oi mui memorable day before Mrs. Boss Rusi lington had thoroughly made up her i mind that her son's wife was far superior fco Genevieve Wallace, and that Ernest ' had shown his accustomed- foresight, judgment, and taste in choosing between the two. "If I only.can get her totalkabont me," she thought, as she made sideplaiting, thoroughly enjoying the excitei ment of the occasion. A while later she purposely introduced the subject. ' , v "Your baby has an uncommon name, madam. Is it a fancy name ?" "Oh, no?it is for my husband's mother. Isn't it a beautiful name ?" Mamie then stroked the soft little i hand lying doubled up on her bosom ' while the child si A. ; "Very pretty, so old Mrs. Rusling toil's name is Helen, is it? Do you i Ijnow I never had much of an opinion of i her? They say she is haughty, unfor; giving, and obstinate." " Oh, no Mrs. Abercrombie. My mother-in-law is one of the most perfect i ladies you can imagine. She may be haughty?rich people are apt to be, and she?may be?is unforgiving where she feels she has been ill-used. Any one would be, would they not? But ob; stinate?no, I am quite sure not." "You are well acquainted with her; you should know." I Mamie's fair cheek flushed. i "lam not acquainted with her, at all. I have never seen her, for she was so disappointed when her son married me that she refuses to know me. If she only would, I am sure I would make her love me. I would give baby into her arms, and let her sse she is Ernest all over again. I would tell her how I had catted her after her, hoping my child i w^pd make as noble a woman as reared my husband. I? " And just as Mrs. Ruslington dashed ; down the plaiting her trembling hands i could no longer hold, just as she was going to snatch Mamie to her well-won | heart, the door opened, and her son, > handsome, cheery, gay, came in. i "This is splendid! Mother dear, t this is all my home needed?to see you . here ! Mamie ! how natural and cozy it i all is ! Why?what? " For Mamie had risen from her chair, . bewildered, pale ; and Mrs. " Abercromi bie" stood, laughing and crying by > | turns. " I've been here?taking advantage of . j a mistaKe iviamie maue, ana 1 ve cubcovered what a jewel she is. Ernest. , She shall never again want my love or care. Children, it's the best day I ever ' saw!" And when Ernest put one arm around i his wife and child, and the other around his mother, with tears in their eyes, and smiles on their lips, they all endorsed her opinion. A Curious Sound. Manitobah Lake, which lies northwest | of Fort Garry, and h?s given a title to i the province formed out of the Bed j River region, derives its name from a I small island, from which, in the stillness j of night, issues a "mysterious voice." On no account will the Ojibwnys ap' proach or laud upon this island, euppos1 ing it to be the home of the Manitobah 1 ! ?" the Speaking God." The cause of J this curious sound is the beating of the i waves on the "shingle," or large pebbles lining the shores. Along the north' ; ern coast of tho island there is a long I low cliff .of fine grained compact lime| stone, which, under the stroke of the hammer, clinks like steel. The waves beating on the shore at the foot of the ' cliff cause the fallen fragments to rnb [ against each other, and to give out a 5 j sound resembling the ohimes of disI nU knlln TKitJ r\Un?tAm/\nAn uclii L VUUiVlX UC14D* xmo I^UCUUiUCUUli 1 occurs when the gales blow from the 3 north, and then, as the windB Bubside, low, wailing sounds, * like whispering * voices, are heard in the air.

Sending for Two Monkeys and Qottinc One Hundred?The FrlsUy Animals Taking Posncftflion or the Ship. An American consular officer, now in Washington on leave of absence, relates a very funny occurrence which came under his observation during his official residence in Liverpool. A successful | and wealthy shipowner, having devoted more time to the business of moneymaking than to the cultivation of any of the necessary embellishments of the intellect, was considered by his business associates a little "off" in his orthography. He sent an order to Bombay, and, among things, wrote for two monkeys, which he wanted to present to some friends; but departing from the usual mode of spelling the word two, he put it too. Perhaps the handwriting was not very legible, as is ofter. the case with others than illiterate bLlpowners. A A. L _ XT.. ^ L - f At- - .1 At any rate tne master ux iuo ump io?u it 100, as did also the agents in Bombay. There was much astonishment at bo strange an order, but the master was bound to obey it. Accordingly the services of a number of natives were secured, the country round about was scoured, and in a few dayB a hundred monkeys of all colors and previous conditions were secured. There were little black monkeyB, with eyes like beads, bigger monkeys with whiskers, and baboons whose grave expression of countenance presented a ridiculous contrast to their undignified antics. The whole crowd chattered, screamed and fought in the cage -which bad been provided for them in the ship in Bpite of all efforts to keep them quiet. In a few days the homeward voyage was commenced and with it the troubles of the crew. As soon as the motion of the ship was felt, the monkeys redoubled their noise, making a regular pandemonium of the ship. Relays of them shook the bars of the cage without a moment's hesitation for twenty-three hours out of each twenty-four uniil the cage was literally shaken to pieces, and the astonished sailors beheld a cloud of monkeys suddenly issuing from the hold, scrambling, fighting and tumbling over each other, as if their lives depended upon getting into the rigging in the shortest possible time. From that moment poor Jack had not a moment's peace. The monkeys, with mischievousness unparalleled, would steal everything they could lay their handR on. If clothes were hung up to dry, they would carry them up to the highest poinfcattainable and pick them to pieces. It was necessary to 6et a guard over p.vprvfln'nrr fhnt, wan washed or dried. When the cabin-boy swept the deck he had to lock up the broom, for if he hid it ever so securely his back would be scarcely turned before an old ape, half as big as a mciD, would have it, going through the motion of sweeping.the deck with an air of indescribable gravity. So great was the annoyance, that it was with the greatest difficulty that the officers could prevent the men shooting their tormenters, and when the ship touched at Aden half of the crew deserted, preferring to take their chances at this inhospitable place than to endure the persecutions of the monkeys. Finally the ship reached home. She had been signalled at Land's End, and the owner was at the dock when.she arrived. Shipowners generally pride themselves on the trim appearance of their ships, and our friend was weak in this respect, if in no others. What then was his astonishment to see his ship's rigging crowded witli knots or bunches, with here and there a festoon where several monkeys had suspended themselves from a sjpar in a string, holding each other by tne tail ! Everybody about the docks viewed with wonder the approaching spectacle. The ship moved closely to her berth, and presently her yardarms nearod those of several other vessels lying at the dock. In an instant the monkeys leaped from one to the other, and began a tour among the forest of masts that fringed the harbor of Liverpool. All the boys and idlers around the dock were engaged, and a grand* hunt ensued, up and down the rigging from ship to ship, all over the harbor. They were finally captured. The owner was furious, but was, after a while, mollified by an explanation over a bottle of wine, and the difficulty-satisfactorily adjusted. The monkeys were gradually sold off, realizing a profit of about ten pounds (fifty dollars) above all costs. But the master of the ship declared that he never wanted to sail another voyage with a cargo of live monkeys.?Hartford {Conn.) Times. Interesting Facts. Coal was first dug as fuel in 1239.

A war correspondent writes : I wns told that during the battle of Karahasgan, while Ned jib Pacha, the general commanding the main attack on the village, was standing beneath a tree, looking at the progress of the fight, a Turkish soldier passed by carrying, skewered on his bayonet, the head of a Russian. As he passed the general he laid the head triumphantly at his feet. Nedjib is an exceedingly nnmane ana eniigniened man and turned away with an angry exclamation of disgust, whereupon the soldier promptly ran his bayonet through the head again, shouldered his ghastly trophy and marched on. A similar incident occurred at the battle of Kuzeljevo at which Mehemet Ali commanded in person. The general was standing with his staff looking on at the development of the attack on the Russian position, when a Turkish trooper galloped furiously past holding out, at arm's length, a dripping head which he grasped by the hair. The man was mad with the fury of battle, and actually shook the dripping head?so thfey say ?in the face of the commander-in-ohief, who immediately ordered him under arrest TREED BY A BIG BEAR. A correspondent of the New York World writes from Porter's Lake, Penn., as follows : Last spring Kittie Wagner, ar? aged thirteen years, of Pittsburg, Pa., rej came to spend the summer and winter we with an uncle residing six miles south- fac east of this place, in a wild and almost cu] unbroken wilderness. Lust Sunday af- the ternoon Kittie was sent to drive home an( her uncle's cattle, which were out in rj the woods grazing. It was nearly sun- tur down when she left the house, and, not br returning at the usual time, her rela- sen tives became uneasy, and her uncle BC1] started out, hoping to meet her. Hav- Qfft ing gone about half a mile, he heard a the cow-bell which he at once recognized as 0f ? - ' - ? UJUtJ WUfll uy uxio ui uio wno, a-iwiu anc direction of the sound it was evident the ton cattle were moving toward home. Think- 0f ing, of course, that Kittie was with wei them, he Retraced his steps. The cattle ^ha were in the yard, but Kittie had not re- ^ turned with them. Her absence caused fln(j alarm, for it was feared she had met gei with some accident, or had become lost. 0f Three of the family, with lanterns, ^ started to search for her. They traveled through swamps and over high moun- ora tains until after midnight, When, finding p0g no trace, they returned home. At day break the. next .morning several of the pj0 adjoining neighbors were notified, and <j about seven o^llock, the party, number- j8 ing leu. Htiirieu wj icuc? iud ncm . 'rjj, The country for a radius of several miles fau was thoroughly scoured, but at the does gen of a long day's search they returned to their homes with no more of a clue than ary when they first set oui. Another night bar passed with no tidings of the little one. <jee Six miles from here is a wild and rocky abl gully known to hunters as " Bruin's Re- na^ sort," so called owing to the large number of bears killed in that immediate vicinity during the past two years. It was thought that Kittie might have wander- ] ed off in that direction. Three of the w0: party resolved to visit the resort, and f0i] early on Tuesday morning, eaoh with paj rifle in hand, they started. In about -n two hours tho northwest end of the gully ' y was reached. 'Here the searchers sat ;ett down to rest. While resting they fired bur off their rifles, thinking, perhaps, Kittie f 1 might be withm hearing distanoe and thi: would, if alive, respond. Just as the thii sound was dying away a voice like that jou of some one in distress was heard in the -rt distance. One of the party thought he V recognized it as the voice of the missing of one. They proceeded on down the gully, _ and after going a short distance again ' I discharged their rifles. Another re- f?ri spoDse came, this time so distinct that there was no longer any doubt as to its hai being the missing girl's cry. A few sitr steps further and a steep declivity was reached. Here the searchers again halted. Looking about them they saw nothing unusual, and they were about Thl to proceed when a faint cry was heard to ] come from the thicket just below. Peer- ] ing through the bushes they discovered q clinging to the top of a tree the object of their search; The overjoyed uncle 0f] hastened to the foot of the tree and pu bade Kitte come down. She endeavored see to descend, but so weak had she become ft j that she lost her hold and fell, but-land- ^ ed saftly in her uncle's arms. She said 8jtj that the cows not being where she usually found them, she wandered off, and, str< going further than she meant, she be- En came lost. She traveled until late into ma the night, when becoming exhausted eyC she sat down by a tree and fell asleep. on When she awoke the sun was shining jUS( brightly. She again set out, thinking an(she would find her way home, but. she 0f had become so frightened and bewilder- m;, 1 .1 J *1 11 J1 ? .1 < ea mac aicer wanting an uay sue iuuuu herself in about the same place as she ^11 was the previous night. As the shades of night began to fall the little wanderer realized her situation, and cried bitterly. Being almost starved and her feet hav- jn ing become sore from walking, she gath- 8jjC ered some dried leaves and making a bed a laid herself upon it, and was soon fast gjjj asleep. She said her sleep was inter- jjg rupted by the most horrible dreams, and fro several times she was awakened by jn j strange noises, whioh she .thought must Qr] have been made by wild animals. When s^a she awoke in the morning it was just getting light, and brushing the leaves wo from off her clothing slie again started. -i <-? 11 -i_ - - I J one nau oniy gone a ?uurb uihuiuuo i aq( when Bhe heard a noise in the bushes ce^ behind her, and looking back discovered ; pa a huge black bear following in her trail. ^ie She screamed at the top of her voice nnd J ar ran with all her might. But the bear i atK rapidly gained on her, and knowiug she | ftn soon must be overtaken she resolved to jtg climb a tree. The be_ir reached the tree g0i as the frightened girl was ascending it, ?0] and standing upon his hind feet made a ?0j blow ait her, fastening its daws into her aU( skirts. She maintained her hold, and, anc after repeated elforts, succeeded in free- ; g0j ing herself and climbed beyond the uni- ?0] mal's reach.. The bear remained about anc the tree for gome little time, vainly endeavoring to ascend it owing to its small pje circumference, and had disappeared into on; the thicket only a short time before the ut)t rescuers arrived. She was carried home, ] and her narrow escape has ever since oni been the talk of the neigborhood. The anc same day a party of hunters from Mil- cer ford, Pa., were hunting in the vicinity 8to for deer. John Hans, a noted bear and j jng deer hunter, became separated from his j ^ j, companions, and, when passing through j vjc the woods near the Dingman turnpike, anc discovered a monster black bear coming yie directly toward him. He waited until pec the animal got within shooting distance caj and then fired a ball at it. but missed. gj.c The bear, instead of retreating, as is for their custom, continued toward HanB, on shaking his head at every step. The plucky hunter never weakened, but a 8I awaited his nearer approach. When p^, within about twenty-five yards of him the bear raised itseif upon his hind feet, caB and while in that attitude Hans took mo aim and fired. The animal gave an upward spring and fell dead. It is believed ^ to have been the same bear that pursued (jer the lost Kittie Wagner. The animal was s^a taken to Milford. It weighed nearly ^j.e three hundred pounds. un( J the An Excellent Reason. ! unl Romieu, the French actor, was an in- ((? corrigible joker, but one day he was r very neatly taken in by a clockmaker ?01 in the Palais Royal.

Though three or the four feet long, and thus terribly armed, to 1 it is quiet, inoffensive and easily caught, ear To man it seldom makes any resistance, j nor and as its food is vegetablo, and its flesh B white and delicate, it is much hunted for and food in Brazil and the West Indies, and But the means of defence are adapted the by nature to the mode of life, and every sac animal has its weapons. ThiB lizard arc! uses against beasts of prey its mail- olir ed tail as a most effective defence, lash- the ing about with it to the right and left, voii with Buch force as to make even the ja- pra guar relax his hold. tim The Bahama Islands abound in this to t lizard, which is caught by dogs, trained out to pursue it to the hollow rocks. iqu What Agriculture Does* ol in exchange says: Without agricul- w e there is no wealth.
