The Stone-Cutter's Story, \ He was whistling over his work, care- j ie?s, irom lone custom, 01 mi' suiulu i significance of the letters he was cutting i in the white marble. The June sun was nearly at the end of the day's journey, sinking slowly to rest upon the bosom of the broad Atlantic, wltose waves was>li<-d the shores of the little seaport towu of Monkton. A stranger, handsomely dressed in gray, with large, lustrous brown eyes, came to the fence that was around the yard where the stone-cutter worked, :ind read the lettering,'almost completed, upon the tombstone: HIRAM GOLDBY Aged 35, LOST AT SEA, JANUARY, 1&66 The last six was nearly completed. A strange palior gathered for a moment upon the stranger's face, and then he drew a long, deep breath and said: " Is not ten vears a Jone time to be cutting letters ol a tombstone, friendP" t 4' Eh, sir?" I The stone-cutter looked, shaded his 1 eyes with his brown hand, as he turned t his face to the setting sun. r "This is 187fi," was the grave reply, t " and lliram Goldby must have been i ten years under the waves." 44 Well, sir, that's the question- is he t there?" s 44 Is he there? Your stone tell us he v is, and has been for ten years." s 44 Yes, sir, it does?so it does. And li yet she has ordered it. She came over I a week or so back with a worried look v upon her sweet face, that I have never seen anything but patient in ten long \ years, and she said to me?4 you may t cut a stone, Davy,'she says; "and put c it up in the church-yard, and I don't d want to see it. I'll pay you whatever n you choose to ask, Davy,' she says; n but lie's not dead, and "don't want a i; tombstone.' 4 Lor, mum;' says I, * he'd :i turned up 4il these years if he was not y dead.' But she shook her pretty head, ti the prettiest I ever seen, sir, and she n said : 4 My heart never tola me he was dead, Davy, and I'll never believe it till i my heart tells me so.'" 41 "Ilis sweetheart?" questioned the n stranger.

Maybe b you are from the city, sir, and have heard the story of our Pearl?" 0 44 What story is that?" a 44 Weil, sir. it's been told many times, a more particularly in the last year, but v you're welcome to what I know of it. a There, that six is done, and I'll leave the Scripture text till morning. If you'll Is come to the gatqpray and take a seat en j s] some of the stones "I'll tell you, that is, < si if vou care to hear it." " I do eare," was the grave reply; " I 1 want very much to hear the story." j a " Maybe you're some kin to the Pearl s< of Monkton that's what they call Mrs. t1 Golby hereabouts It's a matter of t< thirty-three years back, sir, that there > a wa* a wreck oft' Monkton rocks, that you j o can see from here, sir, now tide's low. j K Cruel rocks they are, and many a wreck b they've seen, the more the pity.

Hiram ' Goldby found her on the rocks. He l was a hoy of twelve years, strong and j C( tall, and hccarried the child in his arms J to his mother.

She r< was that pretty, sir. and that dainty, { w that everybody called her Pearl, though j a. she was not like our girls, but afraid, al- j ^ ways deadly afraid of the sea. I have i H] Keen her clench her mite of a hand and j strike at it, for she had a bit of temper | jr in her. though nothing to harm. j if " When Hiram made his first voyage, j for they were all seafaring men here- j 3j about s. and there was nothing for a lad ! a, to do but ship, the l'earl was just a i tl little washed out lily, fretting until he w came home again. And it was so when- H1 ever he went, for they were sweethearts a] from the first time he nestled her baby l face on his breast, when he pickod her J ^ up from the wreck. She was sixteen i when they were married, as near as we \ t; could guess; Hiram was a man of Ci twenty-four. She prayed him to stay ft home then, and he staid a vear. hut. lie t fret^d f"r the^ea, and he went again, |, thinking, 1 s'pose, that his wife would n set used to it, as all wives hereabout must do. But she never did?never. It j C: was just pitiable to spe her go about, n white p.s a corpse, when Hiram went away, never looking at the sea without n a shudder like a death chill. Allthrough s; the war it was just awful, for Hiram enlisted on board a man-o'-war, and g Pearl was just a shadow when he came home the hist time." 44 After the war ?" ; I, 44 Yes, sir; but he made no money >f any account, and so he went again, after ' i, staying at home a long spell. Well, he . never came back. 'Twasn't no manwr-l v of use a-telling Pfarl he was lost; she'd ! just shake her pretty head and say: i t He'll come back.' Notamite of mourn- i ins would she wear, even after his own ft mother gave him up and put on black; for. sir. it stands to reason he's (lead p years ago." I e 44 It looks so." i 44Of course it does; uobody else; t doubts it but Mrs. (ioidby. Old Mrs. ( Goldby's hist words were: 4I'm goins;; j to meet Hiram,' and tiiey say the dying t know. But even then that didn't make ! \ Pearl think so. She wore mousing for r her who had been the only mother she ; t knowed of. but no weeds. Weeds was ! \ or widows, she said, and she wasn't h widow." ' c "But the stone?" 's "Well, sir, I'm coming to that. A <i yar ago, sir, a line gentleman from j r ranee came here hunting for a child i t iost on tliis coast, ile'd heard of Pearl | i)v h.tnpen-chances, if there is such, and j <\umo here. When he saw the clothes,'s lie just, fainted Kke a woman." \ " She was related, then?" t The stranger's voice was husky, bat i the sea air was growing chill. s "Her father, sir." t " H? took her away ?" 11 "Ho tried te. He told her of a splenlid home he had in New York, for he'd bllowed his wife and child, sir. to a ;ity they had never reached. He*was icn and lonely. He begged his child to ; ro, but she would not. 4 Hiram will iome here for me,' she said, and he will ind me where he left me." "On what has she livedi"' "Sewing, sir, mostly.

" 1 The stranger lifted his face that had been half hidden in his hand and said: ' " There was a shipwreck in the Pacific ' ocean, Davy, years and years ago, and one man only was saved?saved, Davy, ; by savages, who made him a slave, the ivorat of slaves!

Then he traveled tiil he readied the seaport town where i fie was born, and coming there at sunset 1 heard the story of his life from the lips < jf a man cutting his tombstone." Not a word spoke Davy. Standing ? ?rect he seized an immense sledge 1mm- ; ner, and with powerful blows from j strong, uplifted arms, dashed themarble nlo iragments. Then, panting with j .'xertion, he held out his brawny hand ] ;o the stranger?a stranger no longer. j "I've done no better "work in my life ;hau I've done in the last live minutes, Siram.

And there's not an c iour, nor hasn't been for ten years, t bat she hasn't been looking for you to ome back. Go to her, man, and the ( .lord's blessing be upon both of you." ( So, grasping the nard, brown hand, [ liram Gold by took the path to the lit- t le white cottage in which he had been >orn forty-five years before. The sun lad set and the darkness was gathering, ? rnt a little gleam of light streamed from hn window of his cottage.

She did not see the tall figure f rawn closely against the wall in tiie t arrow porch; but her dark eyes looked \ mournfully toward the sea, glimmerina e n the half light. b "My darling!'' she whispered, "are t ou dead, and has your spirit come to fc ike mine where we shall part no lore?" a Only the wash of the waves below s nswered her. Sighing sofliy, she said: a ' Is my darling coming?

" I knew you were not fl ead. You could not be dead and my I leart not tell me." I It was long before they could think c f anything but the happiness of reunion d fter the many years of separation, but t t last, drawing Pearl closer, Hiram v rhispered: "I walked from J , love, p nd am enormously hungry." a And Pearl's merry laugh chased the t ist shadows from her happy face, and lie bustlfcd about the room preparing ^ upper. y " Supper for two!"she cried.gleefully. t The CTand house in New York is ten- 1 nted by its owner, and Hiram gees to j 2a no more; but in the summer time . wo happy people come for a quiet month > tbe little whit#? cottage at Monktou, * nd have always to listen to Davy's talc t f the evening wl.cn he was cutting t liram Goldby's tombstone, and ended r y smashing it into atoms.

The tide of progression has rapidly advanced in Japan, and its women are being emancipated both socially and domestically. The Tokio Times thus describes a recent festival on the grounds of the emperor's palace: Many ladies were present, Japanese and foreign? ! the former, it was pleasant to note, as completely at their ease and as keen for enjoyment as if participating in a Thames picnic?as several of them had doubtless done. Some were actually unattended by their husbands, and yet the earth did not heave with indignation nor Fuziyama roar in eruptive protest. The sun shone and the trees nodded approvingly in the light breeze just as if no social marvel were manifesting itself in that antique stronghold of tradition and immovable routine. Riches or the Saltan's Treasure House. A Constantinople correspondent of the New York Tribune, describing the immense wealth in jewels contained in the different rooms of the sultan's treasury building, says: But there is no such thing as describing in detail the splendors of these rooms. There are antique arms and armor heavy with gold and jewels*, there are innumerable horse-trappings and saddles, covered with plates of gold and studded with emeralds, rubies, topaz, diamonds and pearls; there are saddle-cloths embroidered with precious stones. Several sofa covcrs hang in the cabinets as a background to the smaller articles. They are worth $150,000 apiece, and are heavy cloth of gold embroidered with seed pearls. In one of the cabinets are three uncut emeralds, the largest being the size of a man's fist, and the smallest larger than a hen's egg. The birds of the palace realized the experi-. ence of dwelling in cages ol gold, for here they hang- these ancient cages of gold wire. Some of the cages have a clock in the bottom, face downward, so that the royal household might see the time,of davAs they lolled on the divans 1 beneath. The imperial princes appear to have gone to acdooi in cnuanooa, lor here are the satchels in which they carried their books?b^gs of velvet embroidered with gold and pearls and diamonds. In another place you see many mottoes from the Koran, embroidered in diamonds on red velvet. There are amber mouthpieces for pipes, studded with diamonds and rubies. There are coffee-sets and tea-sets of all degrees ot magnificence; and vases ot crystal and agate and onyx?some of these profusely bejeweled. There are inkstands and snuff-boxes innumerable, all glittering with priceless gems. There are royal knives and forks and spoons of solid gold, with jewels on their handles. There is an immense array of clocks. One would suppose that every sultan had his. private clock which ceased to tick when his heart stopped beating. Among the articles in this imperial treasure house are many which must be regarded simply as toys. Of such is a tea-set of tortoise-shell as thin as paper. Another toy is a lady's parasol of white silk exquisitely embroidered with gold, the staff of which is a single branch of coral so long and true and well-adapted to its purpose that one might search for years and fail to find its like. There are also very many fans of varying degrees of splendor. Another one of the toys is a figure of a sultan seated on his throne under a golden canopy ribbed with alternate rubies and emeralds. The whole structure is, perhaps, six inches high. The body of the figure is a single huge pearl, the lower extremities are carved from a blue turquoise, and the turbun is a solid mass of diamonds. There is literally no end to the marvels of this place. After every conceivable use has been made of jewels the surplus, unmounted,stones are gathered by hand fuls into crystal bowls at one end of the cabinets in the second room. The spoils ot an tne empires wmcn prewjeaea me Ottoman empire are heaped up in these k two dingy stone rooms in the old Seraglio at Constantinople. It requires some time fully to realize the enormous wealth of tnis treasure house. But slowly one becomes convinced that these treasure can only be the accumulation of centuries, and represent the heritage of the Ottomans from all their predecessors. Once assured of this, the traveler will find a peculiar fitness in the aspect and attitude of the guards of the place. They stand, dressed in spotless black broadcloth, four or five apart, inline alongthe cabinets, perfectly motionless. And they are as solemn of countenance, as if standing by the catafalque of some deceased monarch lying in state for the homage of his subjects. The Spanish Cheap Jolm. If you want a lesson in sonorous Spanish, writes Edward King from Barcelona, Spain, stop at a corner where a brown-faced, dark-haired street peddler, mounted on an improvised pedestal, is crying his wares, and practicing tricks for the delectation of the multitude. Crack! he pulls a doubloon from a soldier's nose, and leaves the handsome young fellow a trifle ofl'ended, blushing and stammering, and half inclined to draw his sword bayonet, until he is consoled by a merry joke. Then he offers a box oi tooth powder to an old woman standing bv, pearl powder to a swarthy Galley, and a comb and brush to a child, scarcely large enough to carry them. Now he pulls a string, and the articles which the above mentioned people < are reaching forth to clutch, fly through the air like a witch's broom- ! stick.

Washington's Last Illness. 1 The certificate of Drs.

The earth at that time was supsed to he a flat circular plain or disk, ; broadest part being from east to st, which was ?ntirely surrounded by ocean, or great river, that washed it on all sides. In about the center of s plain Greece was supposed to be uated. The great central sea of the labitod region was the Mediterran1. The farthest point known at the st was the Straits of Gibraltar, then led the Pillars of Hercules. The ithern part comprised the north of ricaas far as the deserts; while the ;ion north embraced the countries rdering upon the Mediterranean, and unknown hyperborean land further the north, with the Euxine and Cas in seas at the northeast. The furthest j item point known was about the istern limit of India. This was lat would then be contained in a map a representation of the earth. Thje 1 was supposed to pass under nnd >und this flat plain, which was then ; mode of accounting for the changes day and night. The space beneath is supposed to be a great vault, called rtarus, the abode of the spirits of the eked among men, as the region coriponding to it, above the plain, was ; heaven, or abode of the gods. The known region beyond the Pillars of rcules was filled up with creati< ns of 2 fertile imagination of the Gi?eks. the northwest and north were the mmerians, a people living in perpetual rkness, and the hyperboreans, a race jposed to be exempt from toil, disease, wars, who enjoyed life for a thould years in a state of undisturbed sclity. To the west of Sicily were the ?hanted islands of Circe and Calypso, i the floating island of Eolus. A ;le to the north of the Pillars of Her!es was the entrance to the infernal ;ions; and far out in the Western san, beyond the limit of the known th, was the happy region called the ?sium, a land of perpetual summer, lere a gentle zephyr constantly blew, ere tempests were unknown, and iere the spirits of those whose lives had in approved by the gods dwelt in per uiil iencity. ncrcy aisu, wciu mc dens of the Kesperides, with their den apples guarded by the singing uphs, who dwelt on the river 2anus, which was in the extreme st, and the position of which was istantly shitted as geo^aphical jw ledge increased.?Popular Science nthly.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times, writing from Florence, describes the method of gathering" figs practiced in Italy, and the singular way in which the fruit is forced. He writes as follows: The season joins hand s in October with the verulemnia, or vintage; but it begins in August, owins: to a curious system of culture. Early in that month, as you sit gasping under the noon-day sun, you hoar a wild, eerie strain in minor key, which ?oes echoing up and down the slopes with intense mournfulness. It is the song of the iig-eatherera, tossed back and forth from fiillisde to hillside, and from tree-top to tree-top, as they squirm through the twisted branches, and "oil the fruit." The i tribe ia nomadic, and appears and disappears like the wandering harvesters of France, no one knowing whence they come or whither they go. Late in July the masserit are rented to them, they paying a given sum to the proprietor, and taken possession of all the fruit, beginning with the figs, and ending with the last waxen cluster of grapes. Rude huts thatched with straw are built by the proprietor in all his orchards, and there these two gypsy-like creatures live with their familiesstalwart, fierce-looking men, swarthy, dark-eyed women, and active, lithe young rascals of children. Sometimes they supplement their narrow quarters with a ragged tent; three sticks crosswise and a kettle in the crotch constitute the kitchen. Beds are an unknown luxury; indeed, they seem never to lay aside their clothing, and day and nl2ht they patrol the orcnards with long guns and a ficce dog, the very sight of which ? /IflofnAtr /%?a'o annafifa fnv IS CllUU^U IU UCOWVJ vuv cr t4.ppv.uAwv tvt those particular tigs. The process of forcing the fruit is at once begun, and for many days that wild, sweet song, into whose weird melody the spirit of their homeless life seems to have entered, is heard from tree to tree, in call and response as far as the faintest adambration of sound can reach. The methods of forcing the ripening are curious. In one a wad of cotton is dipped in olive oil and gently rubbed on the flower end of the fig. Fig by fig is thus treated, and eight days thereafter the fruit is ready for market, where it commands a hich price as a primuer. Another method consists in gathering in the spring the half-formed fruit, which is strung on ropes as we string dried fruit. These ropes or garlands are thrown over the branches of the tree and allowed to decay under the burning sun. Life out of death. An insect is'born from this decay which pierces the growing fig, and induces rapid maturity- or shall we call it early decay P?maturity being only that precious zenith of existence which must inevitably be followed by decline. Leaving such premature sweetness to the epicure, one may well be content to wait the result of nature's unhurried process. The fig, when perfectly ripe, eludes a slow drop of honeysweet juice at tho nether end, which never falls, but hangs there, a standing temptation to bees I and men. When freshed picked, at this stage, the fig is indescribably luscious, with a rich flavor entirely lost in the dried fruit. The Philadelphia News says that fashionable women are often very brave; they do not fear to face powder. iiiDNEV Oomi'Ljunts.?In diseases ol the Kidneys the Vegetme givea immediate reliet.

Stevess: Dear Htr?I fe?l vry grateful for what your valuable medicine, Veoxt/he, bu done In my family. I wish to express my thanks by informing you of tbo wonderful cnro of my son; also to let you know that Vf.oktihe ii tbe beat medicine 1 ever saw for Chills, bhakea, Fever and Ague. Uy hod wa4 sick with measles In 1873, wblcb left him with Hip-joint disease. My ion suffered a great deaJ of pain, all of the time; the pain wis so graat he did nothing but cry. Tho doctors did not help him i particle; he could not lift his foot from the floor; he could not move without crutches. I read you! advertisement in the " Louisville Courier-Journal," that Veoetine was a great Blood Purifier and Blood Food. I tried one bottle, which was a great benefit, llo kept on wltli the medicine, gradnall) gaining. He has taken eighteen bottles in all, and he is complotely restored to health, walks without crutches or cane. He is twenty years of age. ] have a younger son fifteen years of age, who la sub ject to Chills. Whenever he feels one coming on, tie comes In, takes a dose of Vxoztutx and that u the last of tbe Chill. Veoktihx leaves no bad effect upon the system like most of the medicines recom mended for Chills. I cheerfully recommend Veo* tike for such complaints. I think it Is the greatest -"dlctne In tho world. Respectful)y, Has. J. W. LLOYD. VEaETOx.?When the blood becomes lifeless ant /ugnant, either from change of weather or of ellmate, want of exercise, irregular diet, or from am other cause, the Veoetihx will renew the blood carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the stomach regulate the bowels, and impart a tone of vigor t< the whole body.
