Poet and Farmer, S
A poet well known in thp city, *
Went into tho country ono time,
With hi? pocket quite barrou oi money, j
But his head overflowing with rhyme.

He mng ol tho iarmet'9 gmnd lile,
Ol his easy and iree independence V
Away froir. tho city's fierce striie. s
Tho lmy time had come, and the poet? s
Out into the meadows went he; C
And while the tanned iarmers were mowing, r
He sat him down under a tree. I ^
Then out came his pencil and note-book,
While powtry clt-amed in his eye;

Wfco mowed 'ncath the blue summer sky.
And his verses were pretty-quite pretty; F
But it worried the farmer to see
(While he was to work like a beaver) j.
The poet beneath a green tree. {
(
And his swath lengthened and lengthened, ,
He neared the poet's retreat, j
And wearied with scythe and with sunshine j 5

A wntm some po try, I s pose!
Would yo mind reelin' out a tow verses,
While I set here a dryin' my close ?"
And the poet, with lino frenzy burning,
Read what ho had written that day,
Of the "fanner who merrily moweth
In the fragrance of ncwly-cut hay."
And when ho bad finished hia poem,
. ?. " He smiled on the farmer so bland,
And eaid to him, " How do you like it ?
I'm sure that you must understand."
And the farmer?he leaned on his elbow,
And said to the poet so blithe,
" It's good, but you'd never a writ it
If you'd beon swingiu' the scythe!"

AFTER LONG "XEARS. I
j " What is this, Burt ?" I ("
" That is the mortgage of an estate I
called the Derby Place, Mr. Faxon, i
foreclosed more than a year, I believe." <
{ " Well, it's what I have been looking '(
for. I will taue charge of the papers and ,
attend to the matter soon. Down East, )
isn't itP" i
"Yes, sir." (
Mr. Faxon put the papers into the
breast pocket of his coat, came down ,
the office stairs, an 1 stepped into the ,
glittering, purple-lined phaeton, beside j
Bis wife. ?
The delicate Arabian, Mrs. Faxon's j
horse, sped away out of the city con- j j
fines, and soon tosted his jetty mane i <]
along the open roads, lined with gay- I,
dens, ornate cottages And villas.
,% " Going away again to-morrow, .
dear?" asked Mrs. Faxon, suddenly lift- ?
0 iug her fair countenance, as she inter- ^
rupted her husband. " You seem to be s
>: } away all the time lately. Tukemewith ,
you." J
".Nottiiis time, vioiei."
And Violet Faxon's husband fell into
. a fit of abstraction, from which he
smartest chatter failed to arouse him.
They came at last to the Faxon mansion,
grand and simple, and fulfilling its
promise of a beautiful interior.
Amid the white lace and crimson
| silk of her chamber, Violet was brushi
ing out her long, fair hair, when her
ft husband paused in the doorway, and
P-v looked at her sharply. Then he came
slowly across the room, and lifting the
, oval face in hi3 hand, looked closely at
the roseate cheek, pearly ear :md curved
lashes.
"What is it?" asked Violet, "a
freckle?"
"No," he answered, smiling faintly
and strolling across the chamber. "You
looked like my sister then?that was
f - all."
; " Your sister, dear? You never told ,
me about her," s^.id Violet.
" No," he answered, and said no .
^ .. more.

character. If, with a remarkably rich
> conuliness of countenance, there were
some lines of dissipation, there was
also a, certain evidence of strong good
ense and a look of deep experience.
lie was up and away at daybreak the
next morning. An early train bore him
eastward, and nine o'clock found him
landed st a little station called Sea.brook.
The dismal little building was set in
a field of clover, around which a road
wound a way among the mounds of verdure.
? .. Alter a glance around, Mr. Faxon
took this road and walked slowly along.
Tf e robins hopped across it, the bobolinks
sang in the trees over it The unassuming
white clover among the grass
perfumed the cool morning air.
He passed only a few houses, but he
observed them attentively. They were
all old and humble farmhouses. Ap
partntly this property which bad by
the foreclosure of a mortgage, fallen to
Mr. Faxon, was not situated in a very
rich or enterprising neighborhood.
Whsn he had walked nearly a m:le,
he came to a green doorvard, anion"
wide spread apple trees, with a well
sweep among them, and a residence,
though plain, more pretentious and
comfoi table than the others.
r . There was a narrow, well-worn pi.th
among the short grass and buttercups
?* . to the porch, where a bitter sweet
/. twined its strong arms. In a corner,
under the verdure, was an armc hair,
th a book on t^e seat, and a cane lyfng
across ;it?a snarled, twisted cane
of hickory,that Mr. Faxon looked twice
at. The book he saw was a Bible.
There was an old lady with a sweet,
t - aded /ace, and snowy cap string*, tied
under her double chin, knitting at a
window near by, but hia quiet step had
I aot disturbed her.
He had put his band to the knocker;
* ' lie took it down again as he caught
... eight of this p'acid face. He stood there
quite still for several minutes. A gray j
cat came and rubbed against his leg. I
Some apple blossoms, floating down, j
touched his cheek.
At length the g<nt!e lips moved.
"Father," said the mild old lady, |
' you had best lie down and take a I
rest."
"Such old people! and 1 have come j
to take their home away." said J\lr. j
Faxon.
There was strong pain in his dark face j
now as he stood looking down at the I
porch-floor.
After a moment, he stepped off the j
porch, on ihe further side, and walked
away under the apple trees.
When Mr. Faxon came back from his !
brief stroll, his presence, as he crossed j
the yard, was observed.
A white-haired old man, who had ;
com? to the open door and taken up the |
hickory stick, turned back hastily, witli i
a few hurried words and the aged j
woman dropped her knitting and rose j
. . up. with a paleness dropping over her j
' ' face.
_ But, while Mr. Faxon hesitated on ;
the porch again, both came to the door.
.Sad,s tartled faces they both had, but
. they were civil. Their greeting was
kindly, as to a friend.
' My name is Faxon," said the visitor
?I_?
" We know who you be, sir," said the
old man?" we know who vou be,
- L A w;n
uj moagu wu never ottu jc unuic. ?. jji

k - Mr. Faxon stepped across the white '
W . hall-floor into the quaint, cool and com- i
M - fortable sitting-room,
H The rough blue paper, like chintz, on
K the wa 1, some "honesty" and dried
Hb. grasses in opaque white vases upon
the high, narrow mantelpieee, uncon fc?
sciously struck his eye. while he took a
sent, his mind occupied with other
thoughts.
I " We've been long expcctin1 you, sir,1'
g said the old lady.
fi Her hands, crossed on the spotless
gingham apron upon her Lip, trembled a
^ . Jittle, but the serenity of her manner
B was not changed.
But the old man's eyes sw.'im in tears.
* . He rested both hands on the hickory
s stick between his knees, as he sat in a
fi * corner, and bending las forehead upon
ft ' - them, partially hid his face.
R "Ye*, yes! but it cornea sort o'sud
den now," said the old man.
I; Mr. Faxson sat in a speechless ?ymB|
pathy.
ffl Alter a little pause, old Mr. Derby
s looked up, and met his eyes,
g *'Of course, it's all right, sir. We
B don't question your right to the place,

sudden flush went over his thin face.
" It's not for myself I care?it's her!"
le cried, striking his cane violently upon
he floor. 44 She helped cam this place,

"IIu?h. hush. Daniel!" said the old
ady, softly. "The Lord will provide;
md it's not long we have to stay in this
vorld, you know."
44 Will you tell me the history of the
>lace, Mr. Derby?" asked Mr. Faxon.
'How did you come to lose it?"
44 It was mort?aged, sir," said the old
nan at last,44 to pay the boys'college
)ills. You see, we had three children?
Jelwyn, R >?coe and little Annie.
Mother and I didn't have an eddication,
jut we said all along that our children
i,ottq. on'ihpv went to the dis
niuuiu eric'
school an' then the academy?an j
>y-and-bye we fitted them off for college.
Bright, smart boys they were?everybody
said my bojs had good parts
though Roc was always a little wild. I
;hink mother, there, loved him a little
)etter for that. He was more trouble, |
in' she cluns to him closer because
>tbers blamed him at times. Annie, his
sister. was always a-pleadin', too, for
Roc. He played truant, and he whipped
.he boys who told on him; he was always
puttin' his bones in peril, an1 twice
le was half drowned?yet, in spite of all,
le was ready for college when Selwyn
ivas, though Selwyn was steady as a
lock. Mother an' I had been scrapin'
;ogether for years, and at last we fitted

"They were nearly through, you see,

mle, an' soon mother an' 1 saw that the

upon our hands The thought
itruck me dumb. But mother was all
nergy. We traveled here with him, we
raveled there. We saw all the noted
loctors East and West. We borrowed

nore money on tlie oia piace, auu ? u
lever pnid any back. I bad made one
>r two payments at first, but they were
jut a drop in the bucket. At last we
srought Selwyn home to die."
"Don't Daniel!" said the.mother,
softly.
" He wants to hear the rest. There's
)nly a little more, but it's no better.
\nnie was like Selwyn?good an' palent;
delicate-like, too. We didn't [
2iind it at first, but her cheeks grew thin j
in' too red; a cough she had had from
i child grew harder, and though the
best doctor we could get came early an
late, it was only a yi&r after Selwyn
Jied before we laid Annie down amon<
Lhe snows. Thank ye, sir, for your
pity! Mother an' I have shed most of
?ur tears."
Mr. Faxom put his cambric handker;hief
back into His pocket.
' Your other son", Roscoe, Mr. Derby
?did he never come home?"
"Never! It's nigh eight years since
we have seen Roc. He knew he disappointed
us; .but that was nothin'?was
it. mother?"
"I never think of it," said Mrs.
Derby, linking her head. " Perhaps?
1 don't know?we took the wrong course
with Roc. He was restless an' active.
He was wild, but he was lovin'?"
Her voice broke.
" Mrs. Derby," said Mr. Faxon, " I
find I know something of your story already.
Your son, Roscoe Derby, who
ran away at nineteen years old, is probably
living, and it may come in my way
to obtain some informatson of him for
you."
Tne old people had risen eagerly from
their seats; but he went on, quickly:
" Meanwhile, be at no inconvenience
regarding your stay here in your old
home. Your right to occupy it is unquestioned
in my mind, and let me assure
you that you will never, during
yout lifetime be required to go hence.
There is the mortgage"?Le placcd some
papers on the table?" the Derby place
is your own."
He rose, putting them gently back as
they pressed toward him, trying to express
their gratitude.
"No?no thanks! Believe me you owe
me nothing?nothing!"
He took his hat. The old man who
was voiceless, wrung his band. Mr.
Faxon turned to Mrs. Derby, and taking
her soft wrinkled fingers in his strong
palm, bent low and kissed ihem. Then
ho turn pri tr>iv?rri the door. but in a mo
ment he had come back.
"Mother?father!" he Baid, "leannot
?o, lor I know you have forgiven
me!"
And the next instant the strong man
was kneeling with his head on his
mother's knee.
" Alter Jong years, mother," he said,
as she stroked his temples with fond
lingers. 1 ain but twenty-eight years
old, but sorrow for my early faults nns
brought some gray hairs about my
temples."
" And you are not Mr. Faxon, after
all, Roc?" said the father, with a puzzled
smile.
"Yes, I am, dear father. Five years
ago 1 had the good fortune to gain the
good-will ot one of the wealthiest American
shipping merchants then in London,
He gave me a good position, and
I dtcided to return home with him, and
served faithfuily in his employ, until
just before his death, when, having
formed an engagement with his only
daughter, he gave his consent to our
marriage, with the proviso that I would
ta*e his name and carry on his inr.eiests
exactly as they had been. To this I consented,
for in spite ot settled habits and
ideas, I felt an alien and alone; bur,

named Derby. Does that please you?"
Ah, indeed! What loving old woman
is not pleased with her grandchild?
Soon the house was graced by the presence
of Violet Faxon and the lovely boy,
whom grandfather could not praise
enough :md grandmother could not
fondle enough; yet it was sweeter, perhaps,
to Roscoe Faxon to hear Lis
mother's voice whisper:
441 like your wife; and do yuu know,
dear, I think she is very like Annie?"
The Cork Leg.
Modern scicncc has brought the cork
leg to a state of periection which renders
it almost impossible for the casual
obsei ver to detect the difference between
real and artificial. There was an eminent
serjeant-at-law some years ago
who had a cork leg that was a triumph
of artistic deception. None but his intimates
knew for certain which was the
real and which was the sham limb. A
wild young wag of the "utter bar," who
knew thesergeant pretty well, once
thought to utilize this knowledge of the
sergeant's secret to take in a green,
newly-lledged young barrister. The
sergeant was addressing a special jury
at Westminster in his usual earnest and
vehement style, and the wag, whispered
to his neighbor: 41 You see how hot old
Buzfuz is over his case; now, I'll bet
:? Tin -? i?:0
yOU it bUVl'It'I^n 1 ll lUll tuio ym m\.\j mc
leg up to the head, and he'll never notice
it. he's so absorbed in his case.
He's a most extraordinary man in that
way." This was more than the greenhorn
could swallow, bo he took the bet.
The wag drew a large pin from his
waistcoat, and leaning forward drove il
ud to the head in the sergeant's leg. Ayel]
that froze the blood of all who heard it,
that made the hair of the jury stand or
rnd and caused the judge's wig almnsl
to fall off, ran through the court. 41 Bj
Jove! it's the wrong leg, and I've lost
my money," exclaimed the dismayed
and conscious stricken wag, quite regardless
of the pain he had inflicted
upon the learned sergeant.

Kakluiia True Home.
Many young housekeepers, write
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, faint am
fall by the way after a few months' trial
and, relinquishing their best chanc
for securing a true home, seek releas
from all responsibility in a boarding
house. And why? For the most par
because their mothers have beon cruel 1
kind and indulgent. They permit thei
daughters' girlhood to slip by withou
accustoming them to any care or rr
sponsibility. They forget that to mak
their children usetul ana nejpiui 1;
youth will lay the foundation for mor
true happiness and enjoyment thancai
be found in a life of indolence and sell
ishness. They forget that there are hom
lessons each day that should hav
equal thought and attention with thos
which are enfox-ced in schools, if the
would fit their daughters for cheerfui
j intelligent, skillful home-makers.
If our girls grow up with no highe

j school education with only just tha
j aruount of knowledge which will b
, deemed respectable in fashionable cii
11 cles, devoting all their time out c

i Now and tlic-n we find one whose na'
ural good sense has not been entirel

What the Vaaaar College Girl* Bat.
[ A conscientious reporter assigned i
duty at the commencement ol vassi
college takes a curious method of fortifying
liis statement that the nearly fifty
graduates were "healthful, clear-eyea
and robust" in appearance. He made
an examination of the steward's books,
and cites the consumption of edibles as
proof. The list of items is too long to
quote, but amoni>, other things it shows
tnat during the past year the Vassar
girls consumed forty-five tons of fresh
meats, two and a half tons of smoked
meats, two tons of poultry, three tons of
fish, five barrels of mackerel, 28,00f
clams, 442 gallons of oysters, five barrels
of pork, 255 barrels of flour, two
tons of buckwheat, thirty-six bushels ol
beans, 1,910 bushels of potatoes, 8,40
dozens of eggs, 3.602 quarts of milk,
8,005 bananas, 22,611 oranges and other
delicacies and substantial in propor
tion.
New Shades and Dtsigni.
New lawns come mostly with borders
for trimming, to be put on plain as bands
or as scant ruflles. Heliotrope, cream
i and the fashionable drab are the new
, shades, and the designs are Watteau
and Pompadour figures, tiny flowers,
roses, carnations, forget-me-nots, etc,
The curtain overskirt opening over it
trimmed front breadth is a favorite
model for these. Another overskirl
much liked is cut in plain, round shape,
and shirred in the center of thefronl
breadth and on the sides by wide clusters
of casings and drawing strings,
i which draw the skirt up to about hall
its length, while the drapery bangs low
at the back in soft, loose puffs. The
front breadths of the lower skirt f i
wear with this tunic are trimmed to the
knee with narrow flounces. Mucl;
torchon and machine-made Valenciennes
is used on such dresses.
A Teacher's Curlons Experience.
A lady tutor among women o
neglected education was found co'u
municative and pleasant by a New Yori:
reporter. " I was in Washington at the
close of the war of the Rebellion," saic
she, "and I have seen clerks in the
treasury and other government depart
ments whose capacity for not knowing
thines was simply 'astounding, equalec!
only by that of some of the wives o:
officials from the West. It was among
these ladies that I began my work ol
tuition. There was one of them, whe
shall be nameless, the wite or a ceriair
Western Representative, now reputed
one of the smartest female politicians in
the country, to whom I gave some rudimentary
lessons. She "wrote a good
hand, and her husband employed her tc
some extent as an amanuensis, but then
was one great drawback to her usefulness?she
could not master the mysteries
of orthography. I was called
upon to drill her in spelling. Ah! whal
work I had beating into her head the
definitions and pronunciations of words
Andfshe was so obstinate. It was nol
enough that she did not know the righl
way; she needs find a wrong way, anc
insist that it was right. The wore
'' economical,' for instance, slu persisted
in pronouncing 'equinomical,' and actually
argued with me that that must b<
right and my way wrong, brcause sh(
had heard a certain Western Senatoi
say 'equinomical.' I had no doubt h<
did, but continued to think him wronj
all the same, even when I myself ac
tually heard the word fall in tha+ sur
. prising shape from his august lips.
" In New York I^have had a wonder

1 smartness in making superficies seem U.
' be solids. One of our best knowr
1 actresses of the emotional school, with
whom I have been acquainted for years
declares privately that she never har
1 any education at all. I have never seer
, a note written by her and never ftnev
i anybody who had. She always gesl
1 somebody to write for her or sends f
verbal message. The fact is she coulc
not write a single line without betray
j ing her ignorance, and so long as sh<
I keeps from that she passes for a. ven
j bright woman of no small degree o
j cultivation. But she says she is too ol(
now to learn anything but what sh<
4 picks up.7 i So me years ago there wa:
J a very able actress in this city, a favorit<

' One day she entered my rooms while

1 later, I was surprised by hearing as !

you how surprised I was when 1 foun<

young girl from the lower classes, wHi
had married above her station and wa
trying to fit herself to be a companioi
[ for her husband. But now she told m
, who she was. She was one of America1
1 most gifted and famous vocalists, a con
j cert singer of high repute, and ha'l evei
' made her mark in opera. From he
1 earliest years she had been trained ii
music and nothing else, and so it wa
that her education was of that anomal

i " Speaking of her reminds me of an
t other of my pupils, the conditions c
whose education were exactly the re
r verse of the vocalist's. She was a fine
- looking woman, but dangerously nea
middle age, quite fairly educated i:
- most other things, but entirely ignoran
s of music. She was in love with an
engaged to be married to a man a littl

t very jealous. He had a fite tenor voicc

r a singer. A young girl who played th

Bringing a Dead Man to Life.
A young officer of the English line,
while passing through & native village, <
waa annoyed by the importunity of a
Hindoo beggar, whom no rebuff seemed
to disconcert.
At length, when the filthy vagrant
seconded liis petition by laying his grimy
hand upon the Englishman's arm, the
latter, foolishly giving way to anger, repaid
the freedom with a straightforward
blow from the shoulder, delivered with
such.hearty good-will that the poor
Hindoo fell like a log, to all appearance
dead.
Before the assailant could recover from
his bewilderment at this unlooked-for
catastrophe, a howling swarm of natives
came rushing to the spot, and, with frantic
cries lor vengeance upon the murderer
of their countryman, dragged him
off to the local magistrate, carrying with
them as evidence the body of the slain
man.
Matters might well look gloomy
'1 ? Ko kA/Jrt onAtirA/l n/\f

the slightest sign of life, while the culprit
himself, overwhelmed with horror
at the fatal consequences of his momentary
passion, faltered and trembled
in a way that would have made any ordinary
judge convict him on the spot.
But, happily for him,the magistrate was
a veteran, whom no contretemps, however
unexpected, could find unprepared.
He heard the story to an end witnout a
word of comment, and then quietly remarked
that before passing sentence he
wished to be quite certain that the man
was really dead. The Hindoos broke
in with a terrible outcry at the idea of
the sacred remains being touched by an
unbeliever.
"Oh, I don't need to touch him,"
quoth the judge, coolly; "I have a
Burerway than that."
Without appearing to notice the look
of uneasiness that began to cloud the
surrounding faces, he drew forth a stick
of sealing-wax, lighted it, and let fall
the burning drops upon the bare breast
of the corpse. Instantly the murdered
man started up with an ear-piercing
yell, and tossing his arms frantically,
rushed out and plunged headlong into
the river, while his inconsolable mourners
vonnhed almost as quickly in the
oppositedirection.
In the Hreat Tunnel.
A Vienna correspondent, writing
:ibout the St. Gothard tunnel, says:
Those who went into the tunnel before it
was entirely pierced, all tell of their delight
in having got out of it ngain unscathed.
It seems that the heat, the
bad smell, the mud, and the noise of the
machines are simply unbearable. Of
the work-people one-third were always
on the sick bed, and great numbers of
the horses fell a sacrifice to the difficulties
that had to be contended with. A
great deal, it is true, sti.U remains to be
done, but from the moment the opening
was made by dynamite, air began to
pass through the tunnel, and although
it may not yet be the most healthy
place, still it wili be supportable. The
calculations of the engineers were right
to two meters, the length of the tunnel
being 14,918 meters instead of 14,020, as
they calculated. When the opening
avorv nrip Htnod awe-struck.

and an Italian, Angelo Cbiesa, was the
first who passed to the other side. The
trains will take a little more than half
an hour to pass through the tunnel.
Nervous debility, -weaknesses and decline

Malt Bitters regulate, purity, strengths
