Lost. A wild rose, by the wayside hung Dew-glittering, on the morning air A pure, scarceconscious, perfnme flung; I looked, and found the flow'ret fair? Ho fair, I sought, with sudden zest To wear its beauty on my breast The trembling petals at my touch A sweeter, subtler fragrance shed ; lis strange I loved that flower so much, And?it*was dead. In that high mood when thought hath win; And finds alone its speech in song, I struck an old harp's slumbering strings, And drew an idle hand along ; Nor deemed the careless chords had caught, The life-note that my spirit sought, Till sudden on my startled ear I ts dream-created accents woke, Alack ! I bought the rapture dear ? The string had broke.

She had liv< for fifteen years a solitary life, hi prided herself for a decade and a half < being independent of and indifferent the rest of the great human family, ai now she grew suddenly weary of h self-imposed solitude. It might be b cause it was Thanksgiving week, ai everybody about her was so buoy ai bustlinc and happy, or it might be' fro many other reasons; but whatever tl cause, the fact remains that, on a certa: sunny morning in November, Miss Fine awoke to the knowledge that her cond tiou was not to be envied. In vain she tried to argue herself bat into her old self-satisfaction. It wi just as true now as it was yesterday thi her brother James had married Jones?a girl she thought she had i^cx reason to hate; but, someway, thete w 110 pleasure to be gained from Qtfmpani their poverty with her richeg.

Quite ignoring the fact that these tv had been brought up together, and th Abel had time and again told her th Sarah was just the same to him as a de sister, Miss Finch grew righteously i dignant; yet she was just?very just, i deed ! she would not judge them on th evidence, although to most any one would have been proof enough of a ve: disagreeable fact; but she would wai ana see how their conversation accord< with their position. So she waited. "Don't cry,"8aid Mr. Abel Jone pleadingly, I am sure I can fix it 8 right. She isn't nearly so fond of me i you think; and you know, Sarah, ho 'dear yon are to her. I'll break it to hi gently, and I'm sure she'll give me v, of her own accord." XTATT? .Ttfio?

From all I can hear, they aii fble to do much in that line for thei t elves ; and with a sudden twinge conscience, the more acute from ben unusual, Miss Finch hurried on her bo net and shawl, and started off to mark< Oh, the marvelous purchases a Made !

And-so that night Miss Finch start* cff for a visit to her brother's. * James Pinch looked forward thanksgiving Day with no gre j'ieasure. Captain Abel Jones had just return* irom a voyage "to the Indies, and, as w; ] lis custom, repaired immediately to ti home of his cousin Sarah, there to r r iain until snch time as his ship shoo, be ready te start again. "And yen hear nothing at all fro Jenny ?" T? him Jane Piaoh, spinster, ag< f orty-one, was not the grim, formidab voman she seemed to everybody else. He had not seen her since her gii l ood, and his memories of her were ? of that happy time. 14 No, said JameB Finch, sadl " We hear of her, but nothing from he She still lives alone, and still refuses to hold communication with any of us." Cfptain Jones looked around the poorly furnished little room, and sighed. " She has changed greatlv," he said ; "if she can enjoy her wealth, while you j are struggling on in this style, I eannot j understand it. But there's do use in | talking it over. Years ago we decided I that it was incomprehensible. Come, | to-morrow is Thanksgiving, and we must | bestir ourselves to give it a hearty rejb, ception. The husband and wife well knew what that meant. Captain Jones proposed to provide the I Thanksgiving dinner. James Finch, J with all his poverty was a proud man. " I can't take it," said he, resolutely. I " If I was in need, Jones, I'd come to ' you ; but I can get along very well without that; and so, until I'm unable to provide myself with one, I won't have any." What the captain would have said, must forever remain a mystery, as, just at that moment, the disputed dinner, in 1 the shape of Miss Jane's donation, drove j up to the door. It was in vain that Mr. Finch protest! ed that the load was not for him. His I name and address on the card were cor| rect, and the expressman refused to be convinced. Then the captain was impaled as the Bender : but his astonishment was so evidently genuine, that tho veriest skeptic in the universe could not but have believed him innocent. But that mystery ! Mrs. Sarah was a ' tilitarian. She did not waste her enerI gies in trying to imagine where the ! things came from?not she! She rolled ! up her sleeves, put on a big apron, and 1 went to work. j Oh, the marvelous time she made that i day! But, after all, it was little "wonder, I for she impressed everybody?from the j big, good-natured captain to little six| year-old-Jimmy?into service. Miss Jane " made her appearance, j bright and early, on Thanksgiving mornj ing. Mrs. Sarah was alone in the n" ! kitchen when she entered. ? I "How do you do, Sarah?" said she, 5lj | not very cordially, it must be confessed, i for, although prepared to extend the )n | right hand of fellowship to James and^ i the little ones, she could not, evei^nbw, I look upon her sister-in-law excg)5t as a er traitor, whom she would b? obliged to er make the best of. . S' j " Oh, Jane!" and Mrs. Sarah, with ^ one nish, left her ^Cranberries to take care of themsel^s, and gave her hus. j band's sister ^ heartier welcome than h 8^e (?e8en'l,dny a good sight. i- Miss Jane didn't return her kiss, but she sneered it; and though she did mut;k *ier tinder her breath, I think 1S shjr was a good deal more comfortable a^ijifan she would have been if her hostess 'rThad been as cold and stiff as herself. I "Drawright up to the stove, and take i oflf your things," and the little woman as | bustled about, in a whirl of delight. " Oh, won't James be glad! Dear, dear! He ought to be here this min'8 ute. And to think it's Thanksgiving 3 ' Day, and we've got so much to be thankful for !" And then her thoughts went back to their unknown friend of the day ~ before, and, like a flash the truth came to her. " Oh, Jane !" she went on, with 36 a grasp, " I see now, it was you sent us the things. Oh, dear! how can we ever thank you?" Then she rushed back to 8t the cranberries, which showed signs of w' stewing over, and, for the first time since ,8? her entrance, Miss Jame had a chance to pnt in a word. P> Sht had iust oi>ened her mouth to say 36 sometning in explanation of her sudden 111 appearance, when the door opened, and m in walked Captain Abel. 16 "Cfbt anything for me to do, Sally?" he asked, with a laugh; and then the great-whiskered man stopped short, per" ceiving the stranger, who sat just in r* front of the fire. Miss Jane had been a beauty in her youth, and even now was not at all ugly. at Her eyes were bright, her teeth were as white as ever, and her dimples were not ^ things of the past, by any manner of n" means. But for a few wrinkles, and a hard look, which was the natural result of her hard life, she would ha^e been a " very handsome woman. She had not !7 changed so much as had the captain; but both were recognizable, and each, after one glance, knew the other. Mrs. Sarah looked up from her cranberries ?? eagerly. "J "Oh, Abel, here's Jane ? Jane 18 Finch!" 'w Captain Abel came forward, and exer tended his hand; but ifcwas an awkward lP meeting. They had not seen each other since the breaking off of their engagement?over a score of years before?and ,x" both of them were uncomfortably con76 scions of the faet. But Captain Abel 7 drew a chair up to the stove, and tried r* to talk as if be had forgotten all about it; they discussed the weather, the crops, and everything else they cared nothing 7 about, until Mrs. Sarah, who was all in *r a whirl with the surprise of Miss Jane's 18 visit, and who could not keep still?try "j as she would?broke into the conversald tion with : 7 " Oh, Abel, do you remember the last day we saw Jane, dear?

"In love with Sarah!" he repeated. lP '-Why, I was engaged to you." "I know it!" she said. "But I 58 thought you?" a "Thonght what?" and the captain es drew his chair eagerly toward her. "Was that the reason you acted ? toward me ?" If silence gives consent, Miss Jane er confessed that it was, and he went on : or " Well, now that you know it wasn't so, what are you going to do about it ?" ^ And Captain Abel hitched his chair closer Miss Jane didn't pretend not to under" stand. f, " We're too old!" she murmured.

"We see them in their insipient stages as far ViniVk na t.Vip tinio nf IJrmnf.Rnt.inA tvIipti we read that Hebrews, Gentiles and Christians assembled in great numbers to perform their several rites about a tree reported to be the oak under which Abraham received the angels. At the same time, adds Tossimus, there also came together many traders, both for the sale and purchase of wares. St. Basil, toward the close of the sixth cen- : tury, complained that his church was profaned by the public fairs held at the martyr's shrine, and under the Fatimite caliphs, in the eleventh century, there was an annual fair held even on Mount Calvary. The most ancient fair known in France : appears to have been that of Troyes, in : which mention is made in a letter of 1 Sidonius Apollonarius, toward the end < of the fifth century. More than two ' centuries after Dagobert I founded the i fair of St. Denis. Tlfcs fair was not only i the oldest, but it was one of the most 1 celebrated fairs of France. It began on i October 10 and lasted ten days. It was \ opened by a procession of monks from i the Abbey of St. Denis, and in later times it was usual for the parliament of ' Paris to allow itself a.holiday during the 1 time of the fair in order that its members < misrht attend. The fcreat fairs of France ! I began with the celebrated " Foires de 1 j Champagne et de Brie " in the twelfth ! century. To these fairs flocked mer- 1 i chants from ail the provinces of France i j and also from foreign lands. The duration i of each of these fairs was six weeks, and < | there were six in the course of a year, so | that they occupied nine months out of j twelve. The great fairs in Germany ' I were those at Frankfort and Magdeburg. 1 I In England the great fair was that of St! I j Bartholomew, whose memoirs are set 1 forth in a very interesting manner by i Henry Morley. This fair lasted from 1 1138, when it was founded 'by Rayer, a I prior of the abbey, of St. Bartholomew 1 and former jest^pof King Henry I, by a i charter fropj-the royal hand, to the year i ; 1855, wl}6n it was proclaimed for the ; i last time. i In old times fair-goers were a priv- i i ileged class of persons and were granted 1 certain immunities. The lords of the land through which merchants passed 1 were obliged to requite whatever loss 1 traders suffered by spoliation in passing J through their territory. The importance J of these fairs was recognized thus early ] in their history. They had an important ' effect not only upon the wealth of 1 the country, but upon the i social relations of the people-, and upon 1 the language itself. 1 At what time amusements were first i introduced to add to the attraction of fairs is not definitely known, but it was quite early in their history. They began, i probably, with miracle plays, given in connection with the religious festivals, and as the religious element faded slowly ' away, we may suppose that these amusements became of a grosser character, i until at last they formed the principal i features of the present fair. ' In this country the yearly agricultural show is perhaps the nearest approach to the time-honored institution. What we < commonly call a "fair" is, however, but the ghost of that old, rollicking figure of the past.? Woonsocket Patriot. Curious Phenomenon in the Oil Regions. A correspondent of the Baltimore American says that at Titusville, Pa., Senator Anderson's beautiful grounds, on the suburbs of the city, present a splendid sight every clear night during summer. The great attraction is the ; fact that they are brilliantly illuminated , by natural gas from the Newtown . well, about four miles distant. This well yields nothing but gaa, and when first opened the roar of the escaping gas could be heard, it is said, for a distance of seven miles. The gas has since been ' confined so as to be conveyed in pipes to the city and is used extensively for cooking and heating purposes. In the house of Senator Anderson not a stick of wood or lump of coal is used during 1 the year either for cooking or heating, j He lises the gas in cooking stoves and in open grates in his parlors, sitting rooms, and chambers. It gives too much smoke to be used for light indoors, and simply takes the place of fuel. There are about twenty standards on the lawns and . around the fountain and lake in the senator's grounds, and one magnificent arch, the innumerable jets from the pipe each throwing out a flame about twelve inches long. There are about twenty standards in all, with about thirty jots, each jet throwing out a fierce flame from twelve to eighteen inches long. The portion of the grounds illuminated 1 is to the extent of about four acres, and : is as light as day in every part. The i fountain is a magnificent work of art, i surmounted by a nymph pouring water i or* nm in+n a ornWof or?r1 fnnr i swans, each throwing streams into the basin below, while there iB a beautiful floral display at the base of the fountain and on th'e ground surrounding it. The lawn is kept in splendid condition, interspersed with variegated flowers, and the effect of this brilliant illumination may be imagined amid such a Bcene ! of floral attractions. The gas is also used for heat in the conservatory, and we are informed by the gardener that the entire cost of the gas used for domestic purposes and illumination of the grounds is but $100 per annum. The foroe of this gas is so great that recently, in tapping the pipe to put in a service pipe for a dwelling, the particles of iron were forced out with such velocity as to enter the flesh of the plnmber's arm. The gas from the Newtown well is extensively used in Titusville in place of fuel, similar to its use in the mansion of Senator Anderson, and there is some talk 1 of using it for the general lighting of the city. Air apd Light. Air is essential to human life, and as respiration destroys its vital qualities, the ventilation of rooms which are intended for habitation should be a primary object in all architectural plans. Architects, however, seldom provide for the ventilation of rooms otherwise than as they provide for the admissicta of light. Now, the properties of light and air, with reference to our domestic requirements, differ in some important ' particulars?of which it may not be amiss to give a brief enumeration. Light moves with uniform velocity ; air is sometimes quiescent, and sometimes moves at the rate of thirty miles an hour. Light diffuses itself with much uniformity; air passes in a current frnm th? noinfc of its entrance to that of its exit. Light, whatever be its velocity, f has no sensible effect on the human i frame. Air, in the shape of a partial i current, is both offensive to the feelings ( and productive of serious diseases, f Light, once admitted, supplies our i vran^ till nightfall. Air requires to be i replaced at very short intervals. Light | may be conveniently admitted from ( above: air requires to be admitted on i the level of the sitter. Light, by the i aid of ground glass, may be modified 1 permanently. Air requires to be vari- i ously adjusted according to its direction, e its velocity, the seasons, the time of the j day, the number of persons assembled, etc. Mountain Climbing. The greatest altitude which has been 1 reached by mountain climbers was attained in "Cashmere by Mr. Johnsc-\ ] who some years ago mounted to a spot ] 22,200 feet above the sea. Aeronauts have i ascended 30,600 feet and returned with i safety- It is supposed the most height that life can be supported at this alti- 1 tude has been proved by the adven- j turers -who have dared the dangers of the upper air in a balloon. During the last summer M. Weiner ascended Mount Illiman. one of the loftiest peaks of the Bohvain Andes. The height of this ] mountain has been variously estimated, i Mr. Pentland giving it an altitude of ] 24,200 feet; Mr. Michm setting it at \ 21,224 feet, and Mr. Weiner himself : making it to be only 20,112 feet. Few < ascents to the height of 21,000 feet have i been recorded. Hunters on the Hima- 1 layas often ohase their game to the i height of -20,000 feet, and natives living ] near Mount Demarend, near Teheran, i frequently climb to the summit above, i 20,000 feet, to gather sulphur from the < crater. < * NEWS SUMMARY. &?

The PKRUVIA.N SYRUP, * Protected Eolation the Protoxide of Iron, is sa combined a* to hare tl character of an ailment, as easily digested and assi i Iated with the blood as the simplest food. It increas the quantity of Nature's Own Vitalizing Agent, Iron the Blood, and cores a " thousand ills " simply by tonii up, Invigorating and Vitalizing the System. The ei riched and vitalized blood pjrmestet every part of t body, repairing damages and waste, searching oat ma bid searetions, and leaving nothing for disease to fw upon. This is the secret of the wonderful success of tfc remedy in coring f? v Dyspepsia, Fever and Ague, Intermittent i Bemittent Fever, Liver Complaint, Dropsy, Chronic DiarrLaa, Boils, Nervous Affections, Chills and Fevor, Humors, Loss of Constitutional Vigor, Female Complaints, And All Diseases ORIGINATING IN A BAD STATE OF THE BLOOD OR ACCOMPANIED BY DEBILITY, OR, A Low State of the System Being free from Alcohol in any form, its enorg?n effects are not followed by corresponding reaction, bu are permanent.

Chills and Fever Prevented This bane of the West, which laysth*) foundation fo many a consumptive, seldom fails to attack those with i a disordered liver. This tendency is eff.-ctually pre vented by an occasional use of the PKRUVLAI STROP, which, by its alterative und tonic effects, pro duces healthy action of the blood and liver, and effeot n*H? nwitores the system from the mischievous effect caused by the abase of calomel and quinine.
