The Seasons. \
Bitter (ears the sky is weeping,
In the spring-time of the year,
Garth is waking from her sleeping,
And another birth is near. .
8miles there are of joy at birth;
Tears, for life so little worth. (
Glad at the heart the sky is smiling, '
In tho summer of the year;
Sorrow with his Rrace bcguiutig
Is the eon to him eo dt ar,
Evil is forgotten now?
Manhood's strength iB cn his brow.
Mnrmor8 low tue sny is muauiufc, ,

his grief of soal is groaning?
Frost and fading ago appear.
Dark forebo lings now are proved?
Sad the lovlug and the loved.
Curses wild the sky is shrieking,
In tha winter of the year ;
Fierce despair too deep for speaking
Greets his eon upon tl.e tier.
Shrouded wLitoho lies lelow,
Dead?and naught is l?-ft but woe.

A Night with Peter Crim,
" I pity the Bkiff or canoe caught in
this blast," was Peter Crini's mental re- j
fleotion, as he threw an extra pine-knot j
OQ the already-blazing lire, which sent
a ahower of spaiks up tue chimney and
filled the apartment in which he sat
with a vivid* crimson glow, lighting up
the much-begrimed ralters, and flashing .
over the curtainless windows with a
lurid glare.
Peter was a well-known huntsman
and trapper on the Canadian back-lakes,
whn h?id mado his home on a rocky |
island, known as Moss cliff, for many ji |
year. He was at present engaged iu ;
mending a pair of nntanned leather ;
leggins with a huge needle and a piece ;
of twine, whilo ho enjoyed his pipe, j
Having had a successful day among the ;
ducks, he was in high good humor with j
himself and all the world. Lying curled :
up about the fire were four dogs, whoee
weary, draggled appearance showed j
that they had done their master faithful I
Y service, and he regarded them compla- i
cently through the filmy wreaths of
tobacco-smoke, as he drew his needle j
clumsily in and oat. Suspended from
a crane over the fire was a large pot, I;
which sent forth a pleasant, bubbling
sound and filled the room with a savory
odor. Peter's household goods consisted
of the said potrnd a kettle which
stood on the hearth, a canoe and rifle, a ;'
table and a few benches?which last had
evidently been manufactured by bis own
hands. The walls were decorated by a j'
goodly array of dt^'s antlers, whioh ;1
were to him what a colleotion of scalps j
would be to the primitive red man.
Presently a beautiful retriever which j'

and gazing into his master's face began
to whine and wag his tail. Petor paused
in his occupation, and taking his pipe j
out of his month sat for a moment in a ,
listening attitude. Through the care !
less roar of battling wind and water
without came a faint halloo, which i
could only have been distinguished by
the practiced ear of the hunter. Start- I
ing np with the speed of lightning he
snatched a lantern off the shelf near at 1
hand, which he lit with a blazing brand
from the fire, and then putting on his
hat he rushed out into the murky darkness,
followed by all the dogs, who set
up a furious barking, while he held the
, lantern up over his head and shouted j
with all his might. Another shout \
floated over the dark, angry waters, and
yet another, and he answered again and i
again, as he wended his way down over I
the mossy rocks, followed by the dogs, j
?'"It is two fellows in a skiff," he
t jaculated, as he drew near the landing- j
place, in the vicinity of which he espied
a large skiff struggling with the waves.
The occupants of the boat sent up a
joyous shout when, by the aid of the
lantern, they could see their way to i
shore, and, gaided and assisted by Peter, j
they' were soon standing high and dry I
on the rocks. They were two young \
amateur sportsmen, ana nau a wonuer- j
ful story to tell of their perilous voyage :
up the lake. Th^y had been out since j
morning, and had attempted to land be- |
; fore nightfall, but being unacquainted I
with the shores and islands, they were
cruising about in quest of a landing
place when night closed iu about them ,
and the storm blew up. They bad gone ;
among a group of islands and had given j
themselves up for lo6t, when their at :
tention was attracted by Peter's light l
and they essayed t at'ract bis attention, j
with what success we have seen. They ,
were both bewailing the loss of a favor.ite
and beautiful dog, which, for some
-unaccountable reason, had sprung out
of the boat end disappeared into the
darkness just before they succceded in
attracting the hunter's attention.
In the meantime they bad reached
Peter's habitation and were standing in
the glow of the fire shaking the spray
off their coats preparatory to hangiug
them up to dry.
'Well, gentlemen, I suppose you
don't know where you hare got to,"
said Peter, with an important air;
41 tbj^s Moss Cliff lodge, and I am;
I dare say you have often
hJWW^ne'?every one knows me in
" these parts."
They had never before heard of either
Peter or his lodge, but as it appeared to 1
afford him a great deal of satisfaction to
think that every one had heard of him :
they did not inform him of their ignor- :
ance, but in return for information they !
informed him that their names were re spectively
Jack Ackland and Tom Boyer,
and that they were two law servants from i
the city of Toronto. 1
" Well, boys, dry and rest yourselves.

I suppose a little sapper would not go

"Supper ! I feel as if I could devour (
on ox!" said young Boyer, who had
been casting hungry glance? at the bubbling
pot.
" And as to tbis place being rongb, .
when you opened the door I thought 1
never set my eyes upon anything so (
( oozy and comfortable-looking as this ]
fixe," chimed in his friend.
" I haven't got an ox for you exact- i
ly," said Peter, laughing, "but as I
generally make stew enough at one time
to last me for three or four days, at j
this time of the year, I think there will \
be-enough for all bonds."
Then he removed the cover of the pot ] ]
and flooded the room with an appetizing
' * odor of game sfcey. i
"There is nothing like a few pota- |
x. toes and a bit of onion to make a skw
go good," he continued, diving into a I (
. dark region near the fire-place from
which he emerged with a dish containing
the savl vegetables, and he proceed- )
l^-.ed to peel and slice into the pot?a proV'.jee^

young Boyer, as his host emptied

into the platte1
SKF* 4* Yes, provided the king was chilled
Iffld tired and hun ry, I don't know buf
what he would enjoy it as well as the

heaped the tin plates, well pleased that
his fare was so highly appreciated,
ik. " Now, boys, tho ducks will be on the
{^taring bright and early, and if you want
j^BjUsee some of the tallest shooting you
9^r saw in all your born days, come out

BaBttan to the word after closinc the door
. after him. I
" Good-night; remember daybreak," o
- t he continued, aa he stepped down into fc
the kitohen. t
The two young sportsmen were soon t

sleeping the sleep of the just, and snoring
in nnison with Peter, who wrapped
himself in his coat and laid down before T
the fire as was his wont, particularly roai
when he had visitors; his establishment 000,
boasting of but one bed.* tics
But alas! this happy state of things qui
ilid not last long, at least as far as our sen

when they were suddenly awakened by gei"

There was a maniac shut up in the wh<
house, that was plain, and when the the
loneliness of the place and the darkness on?
of th i night and the howliLgof the wind owi

the idea was horrible. They lay silent- I

Peter, in a drowsy tone, and the next goi

" Ackland, I believe wo have got into
a den of thieves," whispered young 3
Boyer. His friend gave him a nudge tac
which showed he was of the same opin- Be
ion, but thought it most discreet to mif
keep silent. They could not be sup- of i

as suspicious came into their minds, 1

"Oh, you won't stop your clatter, bui

and the next moment they heard a heavy pei
crash as if something had been thrown in t
across the room, followed by a gurgling par
sound like a person choking, and then bui
all was as still as the grave. But the cast

They sat down by the fire and gave me rev
to understand that they wanted some xh

house, but I did not like the looks of 0pt
them, and I thought giving them sup- wh

Machine Tor Moving Grain as if it

?he Toledo (Ohio) B'adc says: One
the most remarkable inventions of
times is now being perfected and
lerimented upon by Alfred Wilkin, of
3 city. For several months Mr. Wilhas
been trying to study out some
re speedy and economical method of
mating grain in bulk than any now
use. The results, as already shown
his yet imperfect model, are astoning,
and promise to work almost a
olution in the grain-carrying trade,
e principle made use of in this curious
le machine is simply that of atmoleric
pressure, or the exbaust process
icIi lias latejy neon appnea wun sucn
aderful success in the great Westing186
atmospheric brakes. The model
ich Mr. Wilkin has used so far is a
all air pump, rather rudely constructyet
answering for all practical purjes
at present. Connected with the
mp is a one-inch tin pipe, siphon
iped, and at the elbow, or top (some
ee feet above the pump) i'b a cylinder
aewhat larger than the pipe and conning
both parts of it. Inside of this
i smaller perforated cylinder, while
ihe lower end of it is a valve through
ich the grain drops out. Tho other
a of the siphon is extended down into
i grain pile.
iVhen the machine was first ready to
started some wheat was put into a
omon envelope box to represent the
or vessel, and the grain was sucked
at rate that was perfectly astoni6hAs
some one remarked, at this
o the completed machine would
raw the insides out of a vessel in less

vation of about five feet, and some
0 viewed the remarkable effects of
1 crude air pnmp reasoned that it
aid be possible to raise grain only
?ut thirty-two feet, or as high as the
will sustain a column of water. But,
hout urging the case, Mr. Wilkin
etly had an additional lot of pipes
de, and planting his machine in the
rd story of the oustom house, forty
t from the ground, had the satisfac .
i of seeing it tako up the wheat and
n out of t he box placed on the ground
iasily as a whirlwind would take up
dust from the road. The next step
i to place the air pump in the fourth
ry, over fifty feet from the ground,
are the result was similar. The only
wbaoks were the mechanical defects

the other day at New Britain, Conn,
had an almost world-wide reputation &
"The Learned Blacksmith." He wai
born in New Britain, Conn., on the 8tl
of December, 1810. His ancestors weri
Scotch, and both his father and grand
father served in the American arm]
during the Revolution. His father wai
a shoemaker in humble circnmstances
and having a family of ten childrei
could not afford to give them verj
liberal advantages. When seventeei
years old, Elihu was apprenticed to i
blacksmith, and it was during his labori
at the anvil that a great deal of hii
study was accomplished. He was i
natural mathematician, but had also i
great taste for the languages, and wit!
little assistance he mastered French,
Latin and Greek, and later he acquirec
a knowledge of other tongues. It if
related that when twenty-two years old,
being ashamed to ask for aid, he re
solved on woriung nis own way in me
studies; so he sat down to Homer'f
" Iliad," without note or comment, anc
with only a lexicon with Latin definitions.
He had never read a line in
the book, but determined that if lit
could read two lines by hard studj
during the whole day, he would nevei
ask help of any one in mastering the
Greek language. He won a complete
victory, and by the middle of the afternoon
had read and committed fifteen
lines to memory.
He went to Worcester, Mass., in ordei
to use the library of the Antiquarian
society there, and there he made bis flrsl
attempt at journalism, editing the Christian
Citizen, a journal devoted to the
peaceable settlement of international
troubles. He became a lecturer of note,
speaking on the subjects of temperance,
slavery and cheap ocean postage. In
1846 he went to England and formed
" The Leaprue of Universal Brotherhood,"
which announced its aim to be
the abolition of war.
He took a deep interest in the slavery
question, advocating compensated emancipation,
and he assumed charge of a
Philadelphia journal, the Citizen of the
World, in 1852, in order to advance this
scheme. In liis devotion to the subject
it is said that he sometimes restricted
his personal expenses to sixteen cents a
day. _
In 1855 Mr. Burritt was made United
States consul at Birmingham, England,
but was removed from office when President
Grant was inaugurated, He re turned
to this country in 1870, and has
given his attention since to quiet literary
work, writing to the newspapers on
many subjects. One of his Jatest articles
was printed in the New York
Evening Post last October on the relations
of England and Russia. Among
his books are "Sparks from the Anvil,"
" Miscellaneous Writings," " Olive
Leaves," " Thoughts and Things at

and Speeches," and " Ten Minute

A Town Destroyed bj a Flood.
For several days Szegeain. the second
T commercial town in Hungary, contain'
" ing 80,000 inhabitants, had been in im
j minent danger of inundation from th(
river Theiss, which flows through th<
. place. Several large dykes protecting
- the back of the town had been burst,
and the safety of the town then depend
ed on the embankment of the Alford rail
way, to strengthen which all efforti
> were concentrated. At last, however, th<
9 water, aided by a gale, broke through
the embankment, and rushed in broac
g streams toward the doomed town
^ The scenes that ensued defy description,
for, to add to the situation, the tremen
b dons current undermined the founda
. tions of the buildings in which tho in
1 habitants lived or had sought shelter
and amid shrieks, cries and frantic ap
6 peals for aid that it was impossible t<
render, the structures went orushing int<
a the flood, carrying with them the in:
mates. Even the synagogue, to whict
- many people had flown for refuge, was no
6 spared by the waters, and fell in, bury
' ing hundreds in its ruins. The gas wotki
,1 having been submerged, people wer<
0 left at the mercy of the torrent, unabh
' to perceive what fresh danger threatenec
3 them, and in a state of prostration fron
which death would have been a relief,
" At daybreak the town was many feel
1 deep in -water, and the inhabitants ha<
i begun to realize the extent of their ca
- lamity. Here and there a house, lest
1 substantial than its neighbors, totterec
j and fell with a crash; and it frequently
t happened that at the moment a boat wa<
- nearing a window from which half-dis
? tracted people were appealing for aid
J, the whole edifice would succuc. j to th<
l torrent, amid the piteous shrieks of th<
. inmates. Such of the inhabitants ai
1 wnra on frvrfrmafp frt hfi fthlfi tr> Hn m
? fled to New Szegedin and more elevatec
j parks of the, town, hurriedly crossing
the bridgo of boats which separates the
, new oity from the old. As the daj
a wore on whole rows of houses fell, and
a the flood gained such headway that ii
submerged fully two-thirds of the town
i including the citadel and the post and
telegraph offices. Besides the syna'
gogue, the orphanage succumbed, bury
p ing its inmates in the ruins, and twe
manufactories were discovered to be ii
q flames. No excesses were observable,
Q however, on the part of the inhabitants,
precautionary measures having beer
d taken for the protection of property,
6 During the afternoon the dams were cul
6 in several places to allow the water t<
0 run off; the flood was still rnshing wit!
an awful roar over the city, anc
the practical destruction of th<
a town was complete. Happily, how
ever, while there was much exoite
3 ment there was no disorder, and sue!
3 of the inhabitants as could be removec
1 were conveyed to a place of safety ty
3 men who seemed to retain theii
. presence of mind to a greater degrei
j than might have been expected.
3 Sixty thousand persons were withou
a roof to cover them. The upper floors

i Terrible Scene at a Walking Match
i By the fall of a gallery in Gilmore'i
1 garden, New York, on the night of th<
, third day's international walking match
1 twelve persons were injured. The affai]
} is described thus : Two streams o:
, human beings were pouring into th<
building, the lobby crowded full, and ?
i solid wall of humanity blocking Madr
? son avenue. Within was an immense
I throng^estimated at from 8,0?0 to 10,00(
people. Jt did not seem as if the gardei
i I TTTrtnl/l Vinld onnt.Vior norann rTh?
J oenter of the building was black with
r men,(the seats on the side were crowded,
every available space of standing room
) was taken, and the gallery at the Madi)
son avenue end of the garden was filled.
This gallery was a temporary affair, pui
i up for the Arion ball, and divided roughly
off into boxes. It stretched nearlj
' across the whole end of the building,
i directly over the rustio houses each side
' of the main entrance, and was about eij
feet deep. A great many ladies were in
i the gallery. Ennis had come on the
i track again, and all the men were walking
well amid constant cheering.
Suddenly a single scream, as from a
woman, arose above the uproar. It
1 came from this gallery. Those who
looked saw the south end of this gallery
1 slowly settle, and saw its occnpants
arise to their feet. Then, amid the
oracking of timbers and cries of people,
about forty feet of this gallery seemed
to collapse. The front gave way first,
! and, bending downward, shot ite occu1
pants headforemost fifteen feet upon the
heads of the people below. Then the
timbers gave way at the rear, and the
whole seotion of forty feet fell.
A cloud of dust arose, and for an instant
enveloped the spot.
Then followed what bid fair to be a
fearful panic. From the adjoining sec
tions of the gallery the people rushed
like sheep, and those below, under, and
around the gallery with them leaped for
the entrances, through which the steady
stream was pouring into the garden.
The next moment, with white faces and
staring eyes, from out those entrances
poured the human stream, now an ungovernable
torrent. For an instant it
wavered as it met the inflowing stream,
then dashing all before it, police officers,
special detectives and all, it hurled
itself against the wall of men in Madi1
son avenue. Men and women rushed
out of those two doors like wild beasts,
trampling, shouting, groaning, cursing,
praying, while from within came the
great roar of the thousands. Women
fainted, and cowards trampled upon
> them. Some cried " fire," and in the
i galleries on the sides of the building
men threw open the windows, and, it is
said, one in his fright jumped out to the
aiMaronltr hfllnw.
A squad of Bpecial police officers and
detectives stationed near the entrance
were the first to Btop the panic. Aided
by the location of the accident, they
succeeded in stopping the rush, for,
the broken gallery being near the eni
trance, almost every person in the gar
den could see just what had happenerl.
i Then a rush was made for the scene of
the accident; but Capt. Williams, exi
tricating himself from the throng that
had carried him bodily out of the building,
marshaled his forces and pressed
back the multitude. Fifteen firemen,
under Chief Fisher of the eighth bat[
talion, who were detailed in the garden,
were in their places as soon as they could
; press through the mass of people, and
in less time than it takes to tell it the
rubbish was cleared away, the wonniieJ
, taken out, and either carried outside of
i the building or made as comfortable as
' possible within.

Sagacity of Horses, ?
An old horse belonging to one of these 1
' parties had wandered about in search of
| grass and water?vainly, no donbt, for g
it was during the severe drought, from T
1 which the country is but now recovering.
Coming to the great market-place
and finding a knot of men talking there, ?
he singled out one of them and palled ?
him by the sleeve with his teeth. The
' man, thinking the horse might possibly **
> hit,*. rflnnlspd him? bnt an it was not ?
very ronghly done he returned to the u
> charge, with the same reception. Bat to
i he was a persevering animal, and prac- "

I " perseverance gains the day," for npon q

> third time between his teeth the owner
awoke to the idea that a deed of kindness
might be required of him; so, put- fo
ting his hand upon the horse's neck, he ?
I said: "All right, old fellow; march on."
The horse at once led the way to a pump
- at the further side oi the square. Some
i colored servants were lounging about
5 the spot. One of them; at the bidding c
; of the white man, filled a buoket with
, water. Three times was the buoket re

Not Mjmptomi, but the Disease.
) It wonld seem to be a truth appreciable by all,
) and especially by professors of the healing art,
. that to remove the disease, not to alleviate its I
symptoms, should be the chief aim of medica- e
| tioD. Yet in how many instances do we see ?
< this trnth admitted in theory, ignored in prac
tice. The reason that Hostetter's Stomach
3 Bitters is successful in so many cases with
, which remedies previously tried were inadequate
to cope, is attributable to the fact that
| it is a medicine which reaches and removes the
1 causes of the various maladies to which it is
i adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver
complaint, gout, rheumatism, disorders of the
1 bowels, urinary affeotions and other maladies
| are not palliated merely, but rooted out by it.
1 It goes to the fountain head. It ia really, not j
- nominally, a radical remedy; and it endows the I

r Homebody'. Child.
Somebody's child is dying?dying with the ?
3 flash of hope on his young face and an inde- ?
- ecribable yearning to live and take an honored
t place in the world beside the companions of
} his youth. And somebody's mother is thinking
of the time when that dear face will be hidden 3
where no ray of hope can brighten it?when
3 her heart and home will be left desolate?be)
cause there was no cure for consumption.
1 Reader, if the ohild be your neighbor's, take
, this comforting word to the mother's heart be'
fore it is too late: Tell her that consumption
5 is curable; that men are living to-day, aged,
7 robust men, whom the phyrioiana pronounced
1 incurable at the age of twenty-five, because
t one lung had been almost destroyed by the disease.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
! is a most efficient alterative for separating the i
1 scrofulous matter from the blood and lungs,
- and imparting strength to the system. It has <
. cured hundreds of consumntive*.

Liver Fills, a supremely effective and safe J!
i alterative, cathartic and blood depurent which i
L promotes thorough bilious secretion, a regular
, habit of body. Bound digestion and nervous \

' The Orand Central Hotel, on Broadway, New i
1 York, is a big house, and it takes a great many
' people to fill it. In order to do the latter, and
to please everybody, the hotel is now kept on '
3 both the plans; the American at $2.50 to 13.00, j
and the European at $1.00 and upward per
day. An elegant reat&nrant, at moderate (
prices, is conducted by the hotel. j

f Prioes are a little higher for tho Mason and

but the quality is a great deal better. It is
certainly good eoonomy to obtain the best when
there is no more difference in the price.
