Sleep. In summer-time how lair it showed Sly garden by the village road, Where fl?-ry stulks nl blossom flowed, And roes a<>lt!y blushed; With azure spires and norlands white, Pale heliotrope, the fcun's delight, And odors that perltnned tho ui^ht Where'er the soaih wind rushed. There solemn purple pansies stood, Guy tulips red with floral blood, And wild things fresh irom tleld and wood( Alive with dainty fcrace. Deep he.iven-b!uo bells oi columbine, The darkly-mystic pas.-ion-vino, And clematis, that lovea to twine, Bedecked that happy place. Beneath that strong unclouded blaze 01 long and lorvent summer days Their oolors smote the passing gaze, And dazzled every eye. Their cups ol scented honey-dew Charmed all the bees that o'er them flew And butterflies ol mdiant hue Paused as they floated by. Now falls a cloud ol sailing snow, Tne bitter winds ol winter blow, No blossom dares its cup to show? Eaith lolils them m her breast; A shroud ol white, a virgin pall, Is slowly, softly, hiding all; In vain shall auy sweet wtnd call IO DrouK uieir sueat resu My garden is a vanished dream, Dead in the waning moon'8 cold beam, Clear icicles above it gleam; And yet?I know not how? My flowers will hear the dropping rain When spring reneweth hill and plain, And then it shall be mine again; It is God's garden now. ?Rot* Terry Cooke, in Harpe''s Magazine AUNT" MARY'S STORI, Now, Millie, I want to have a litth talk with you; you have your morning work all done, so sit right down in youi little rocker, while " Aunt Mary " give; "" " frtrrr n-nrHo r> f There.

But we hav< Lten here three weeks now, and mus think of leaving, for home will need us but I feel that my duty will not be don< to my dead sister's child if I fail to hav< a serious talk with her; and therefor< I am going to read you a page out of mj own life's history, and if tlie hearim does you as much good as the occur rence did for me, I shall not regret th< exposition of my own fouier foily. You have olic-n heard me speak o your Grandfather Percivf.l, and yoi know that he wt?s considered a wealth] man for his day; he was also a generou" and kind man, and spured no trouble t< make his family h:ippy; consequent!] his children received a. good many ad ?,.?J, o PrliiPvirinn hpinir nnf> O vauui&v. Of a ?vw? vmmvmvivu ^ them.' I went away to boarding-3chool, whicl was considered quite wonderful in thos< days; not th-2 tiling expected by youm ladies now. I was away from borne tw< years, and, wn-n lightecn, returned, m] acbooi*days over, lully determined t< enjoy lilt to the utmost. With a reason able amount ol good looks, you.b means ar-d education, I thought mysel equipped for a successful campaign. Mj stay in society asp.sisgie itidv was, how miles fr.m the town proper, a farm, had been at home hut a s-hort time be fore I met Robert King. He was net : rich man, but he pos-esscd sterlin worth; he was educated, good-looking and a fine singer; these attributes cb tained lor him a passport into the bc.society. There was something abou <- this gentleman that attracted me frou the first, and almost before I knew i he was enthroind in my heart as m king. ;? eopmpH tn hp rrmliisil V/Ul auu*iln>blvu ov\ jjuv? ?w ? ? for in a comparatively short time L asked me if I would wait for hiai ud ti he could make a suitable home forme I told him that I loved him, and woul wait for him any length of time. M; fattier gave a ready content to our en f;agement, and though he said be dis iked vtiymuehio lose me, lie advise* us to marry within a year and wori together; he was able to i:iveme some thing b. side my housekeeping and wed (ling outfit, and in those days a gir commencing married life with the tw< latter nececsaries was considered "wel off." Robert, though surprised at m; father's proposition, was not going t( da r\r>n udpr inutomt iciusu iv; banc ujv, ou uuv ot five or six, I was married. I, who : few years before 1-iughed at cauDtr people, had actually married a farmer I bore the j sts ot my friends laugh ingly, and in answer would say: " VVell you cannot say that I have not lookei hith in the calling, for I have chosen ! ?King!" I went to our new home per fectly satisfied and happy. You knov your Uncle Robert, and how kind am pleasant he is; he was from the first o lur married life just as good as you hav ? found liim. The first lew months of my new lifi were full of joy; but when winter cam grew weary of the country, and wishe< r for society. I was young, and care and responsibility were new to me. I was too, very hasty, and when my husbauc would venture to suggest anything t< me I resented his interference, as called it, and became angry. At sucl times I would say that for which in i few moments I would be ash imed anc sorry. Then I would go to your unjle i and ask him to forgive me. YoushouU have seen the triad light in hi3 gray eye* when I thus went to him! He always forgave me freeiy, but I remember, anc always shall, that once after such a reconciliation he said to me: " Darling, if you should ever say yoi were sorry that jou had married me, J am afraid that 1 could not forge; that But 1 would give you your freedom b] leaving you. You could go back to youi father 8 good home, and would nevet know what had become of yoi'r husband, who, though he loved you fondly could do little for you." However, I controlled myself no better after this remark tban be ore, bu1 grew daily more irritable and faultfinding. Finally matters were in sucb a state that very lew days passed it which I did not try to pick a quarre with your uncle. Such quarrels alway: ended with unkind words on my pari and siience on his, though at such time: T hnro a<3*>n him t.nrw TtTlnf/ilfrnm txrmmH ed and suppressed .eeiing. At last affairs were brought to a cli max. One afternoon in February asked Robert tor some money witl which to buy a new dress. I wanted i to wear to a party which was to be hc-l< in town that month. Your uncle drev me to his knee acd said: " Darling, l Dave not money enoug] to buy you a dress; but now that I hav made the last payment on the placemade it yesterday?1 nope to have, i: the future more to ;?ive my wife. Won1 she try and get along this time ?" J know you will say that to treat sue! a refusal as that with anything bu kindness would be cruel. Well, I wu Just that. Rising from his knee i &aid "You need not trouble about me i the future. I dare say I enn get alon with nothine. But this I knowwish I had never left my father, for h provided for me." I see that you look horrified, Millie and I do not wonder. I was wickec but I was punished, and shown, tor what danger I wa3 in from lack of sell government. Robert made no reply to my cruel rc mark, but in a lew moment* he left th room, and soon I heatd him leave th house. It was then about four o'clock and, as you know, at that hour in th winter it is nearly dark. I sat by th stove a long time alter Robert went oul thinking. My angry fit parsed off, an instead rose before me the picture of m own pretty home; everything aroun me to make me comfortable and happ; and then, too. the ereatesr earthly bless ing?ft good, kind husband. Then cam a feeling of sorrow for my recent unkin words, and I was jus on the point c going to look for Robert when nif neai est neighbor, a Mrs. Este.?, called lighted a lamp, and we seatfd ou'8?m for a friendly chat. I listening ever moment for my husband's step I fe! ill at ease, and suppos. d I manifesto my mental condition, fur soon Mrs Eates said to me: "Where is Mr King?" I answered: " He went ont a few moments ago." But, upon clancine: up at the clock. I shw the hour hand pointed to six ! He had been ^one frotu the house two hours! A: other half-hour passed. Mrs. Estes said: Your liustiand must lmve called on one ot the neighbors." Such an explanation did not satisfy me, lor Robert h-?i never so left me botoie. Suddenly his words cjime to me: *' If you ever say you aresorrv that , you married me, I eould not forgive it." Mv heart almost ceased to rerform its office. I heard Mrs. Estes1 voice as one afar off'; lor an instant I realized nothing but the fact that my husband had been true to his word?he had left me ! Tlie azony expressed in my face alarmed ray friend, and she said : "What is the matter, Mrs. King? What is it P" Instantly, without knowing what I did or said, I told her of my recent unkind words to my husband, of the former remark, of his long absence, and of ' my benet that he had gone. My frienct endeavored to soothe iue; she told me tba'i he would soon be back?she knew lie would. Her words helped me but for a lew moments, and quickly rising I Said: ' Mrs. Estes, I must see if I can find j Mr. K'ng. I cannot live and not know where he is." Than f atuvtpH fnr tho b.irn. caHiner: "Robert! Robert! Where are you?" Nothing but the winter wind answered me! I then searched all the out-buildings, and when I found my husband in none, I felt in some way relieved, lor a nameless fear had been haunting me. Still I was in an aeony of mind. Frantically I nin through the fields near the house, stepping every now and then into a snow-drilt, and fallirg htadlong, but up in a minute, and stiil on, on, calling: " Robert, dear, please answer me!" Mrs. Estes, thoroughly alarmed at my j condition, endeavored to keep beside me, | and finally induced me to go back to the ] 1 hou?e. Upon entering it, I fell upon my I knees and cried: "Oh, Father in heaven, send my j * darling back to me! Oh, forgive me, >' and I will henceforth be led by Thee, " and loilow Thy teaching of gentleness j ? and love!" , Rising, I again started out, for I j t seemed to smother in the house. 1 j ; walked rapidly some way down the ! f road, the sncw sounding crisp and cold f under my feet. Suddenly I stopped and i called: "Robert!'' Just ahead I heard some one answer, t I looked eagerly forward but saw no one. 1 I called again as I walked onward, and ' had gone but a iew steps further when, 2 on peering ahend, I saw walking toward - me my husband. I gave one cry, 1 bounded forward, and in a moment was ; in his arms. The next thing of which I was con} scious was being in my own home, my husband's face bending over me, while f he and Mrs. Elites were working to rei store circulation. The cold?lor, in my 1 frenzy, I was unprotected by any out3 side garment?and the excitement of the i ) evening were, however, too much lor I 1 me, and on that evening was commenced - an illness which lasted for five weeks, f But my lesson was learned; I rose from that sick oed a charged woman. i Where bad your uncle been ? Onlv J out walking, aear, till he could come l bi'Ck to me, his grieved feelings calmed, ) and able to forgive m^ for the unkind j | woras sma. rn* uia lurjjiv*: iuc, uuu ? < ) j think he will toll you that from that I day to this 1 have never forgotten th.it , ! terrible evening nor failed in my end;-v,f { ors to keep my vow. i I But row, Millie, the ret^on tl'ftt I\Lhave lor relating tliissud^JifffTigh nnu'ly f TSTlTy ou. Your un<-le 9 iWlSriSve noticed, during our visit, I that oJtentimes you say unkind words to J George, and we ci.n see that they grieve or him deeply. You have caused a cloud I to rest upon your husband's lace ail day on account of the few words you Si*.id to a him last night, when he objected 10 your S going out. I know you love him, but really you must cure yoirselt of the awiul Habit of giving the evil member' t full sway, or you wiU ruin your own t and another's happiness. I trust you a will need no such experience as mine; t but you must be different, or there may y be a worse thing come upon you. There ?the morning is nearly gone, but we , shall not call it wasted, shall we? e About eight months after the relation 1 of this story'Mr. and Mrs. George Ford !. returned the visit of their relatives. As i they were seated about the ten-tabie on V the night of their arrival, Mr. Ford - said: " Aunt, what spell did you cast upon i Millie while you were with us? Sue k always wa3 a good wife, and seemed to - me a little the best woman in the world; but she is perfect now. I hope she will 1 not grow any better, or I shall expect > her to leave me for higher regions." 1 Mr. and Mrs. King laughed quite - * r> ji i. i l f urartny over i?ir. rora s sneeuu, uui 3 Millie, instead ol thanking her husband i lor his compliment, raised earnest eyes a to her aunt's face; eyes in which was 7 written as plain as words could speak, "Thank you !" * Some of the Franks of Youth. i When you get two or three old fel? lows of sixty or so together, they are 1 fond of telling stories about the pranks f they piayed in their youthful days, and e laughing proudly over their misdeeds. But this isn't always a safe thing to do. s Old Judge Bees indulged in this rccreae tion the other night, hi the presence of his i son, aged fourteen. The old man told of i quantities of tricks he had played upon , his fath<rand chuckled gleefully over 1 them. It roused young Bees' ambition, ) and the next night when thejudge went [ home he had an awful time < 1 it. There i was a pail of water suspended over the i front door th.it tipped as he opened the 1 door and deiuged him. He wa3 both sur, prised and annoyed at that and walked 1 into the entrv. and immediately his feet 3 caught a cord tied across t:.e hall from I the bam'sti-rUo the hat-rack, and it trip- j ped him up and pulled the | hat-rack over on top of j him. He was skinned in several j places, and by the time he disengaged himself was awful mad. lie started upstairs, and part way up, a cord stretched across at t'ae right height, caught him suddenly under the chin and threw him backward down the stairs. Then he started to crawl up3tairs, ana part way up discovered a rope lying on ihe stairs and coming from f.he top. He pulled it and hauled a barrel down upon himsflf that bounced him downstairs again. He was nearly dejirious with race as he rose to his leet that ti.he, and ut-1 ; terly unable to understand the eau-e of j i all these contrivances being in his way. j Once more he essaved to go up, and I succeeded. On reaching the head 0} the ' 1 slairs he thought he h?ard a snicker, j j and investigation showed his son peep- i j ing from his chambc-r and laughing. On j being taxed by the judge with fixing the traps the boy owned up. " What in the i aarue of heaven have I done that made t you do it?''yelled the judge, aghast at | j the boy's wickedncss and coolness. I v 44 Why, I heard you say you played these pranks on vour fttlht-r" And he ! \x licked me like sixty for it. just as I'ii lick j e you," roared the infuriated judge. "You | _ did.i't say anything about being licked , n when you told the stories," cried the 't now frightened boy. This was a strong argument, but the judge wasn't in a h fmme of micfl to appreciate it. The I boy's yells were heard iu the next ward, \ s j and he lias resolved, as soon as his raw 1 . | spots get well, to run away to some u i place where they'll tell him the whole g | tacts of a case. And the judge thinks he "j has learned to be careful wtiat lie says e before that boy. >, The Largest Tier in the Country. Ii A Now York paper says that the >. Pennsylvania railroad company's grain F- business has grown beyond the means of handling afforded by theiuiprovc ments made some eighteen monti s aeo e at an expense approaching $3 000,000, e making necessary the extension of the new piers from 500 feet, as oiigmnlly e de iirtifd, to the extraordinary length of e i,380 fret, with a width of seventy-five t, feet, making the largest pier in the d country. The contract requires that it y shall be built in ICO wording days, endd ing in the middle of March next. Its ?, extent may be further judged of from i- the fact that no less than 5,300 piles are e used in the construction, gathered from d New York State and floated down the >f Hudson rirer or brought from the East. j The cost of this great wooden pier will I | be $151,000. Eventually it will be 's covercd with sheds. This pier will eny large the accommodations for our It steamers, so that a number of tli< m c in d load or discharge simultaneously, the i. whole operation of discharging and filling aga.n not to exceed twenty-four ! hours. Aii fc'xplorer's Devices. D'Alberlis, in his account of his a vols in New Guinea, tolls some in- r ^resting stories. fn his second journey t he provided himself with dynamite and j rockets, which were very effectual in s frightening thesavaars and giving im c more power over ihcm. At Yuie s Island he was on excellent terms witii r the natives, on whom he conferred r many benefits. Yet during his :ib?ence h on an exploration nis house w entered i and a large quantity of goods stolen. \ In recovering these and firmly cstab- t lishing his power and influence he < sliowed great inrrenuity. Calling the 1 chiefs and other natives together \ - who all pretended great re- f gret, at his loss, though the i IUI.HH-L V LUU-b IIAVV/ Utvti v**v.v,wxv with their connivance?ne toln them j that he was determined to Lave his property buck, anil that if it was net brought back in twentv-four hours he would lire at every native who came within range of his house, which fortunately commanded a great extent of native paths as well as the narrow strait between the island and the mainland. He then made his preparations for a desperate defense in case he was attacked, loaded some Orsini shells and mined the paths leudin^ to his house, so that with a long match he eould blow them up without exposing himself. At the end ol twenty-four hours, nothing having been brought, he commended operations by exploding live dynamite cartridges, whicu made a roar like that of a cannonade, the eehoe resounding for several seconds. He then let oil' rockets in the direction of the native houses, Mid Illuminated his own hou?e with Bengal tire. All this caused terrible consternation; and the next morning the chief I arrived with five men, bringing a eonsiderable portion of the stolen goods, and trembling with fe:kr to sucn an extent that some of them could net articulate a word. He insisted, how- I : ever, that the rest cl the goods should 1 be brought back, and the next day, to I show that he was in earnest, tired at the I chief himself as he was passing at a 1 distance of 300 yards, being carelul not < to hurt, but only to frighten him. A I canoe was also turned back by a bullet, striking a rock close by it. The effect ol i this Wits seen next morning in another ' vibit Irom the chii f, with live complete suits of clothes, axes, knives, beads : and other stolen articles. Much more, 1 however, remained, and lJ'Albcrtis i took the opportunity of impressing them thoroughly with his power. He first 1 sked them to try to pierce a strong 1 piece of zinc with their spears, which ^ere blunted by the attempt, while he 1 riddled it through and tlirougb with shot from his gun. He also sent bullets nto the trunk of a small tree a nuudred yards distant, showing that a man could not escape him. They had been seated on a large stone near his house, which he had mined. He now called them away, and having sccrotly lighted the match, told them to look at ti^e stone. : A tremendous explosion soon came, and the stone disappeared. The natives were too frigutened to move, and begged him to have pity on them, promising to restore everything. A great ho'e was si en where the 1 stone Liad stood while some of its frag- I ments were found a long way oil. Vov twelve days more he kept up a state ol I .. ; i i. ?n onH I tuiuiut; u:ivu au utuvw\~io <*mv? many canoes by ritle them, but never huriu^^dj|$KgSftg|^ ance, and ultim^HHHH^red nf-1 most everytb^pBBurml^he whole j oi tins tfmgfll^iever hurt a singie ptrsonjtf*l(roany damage to their properly, -53utsuccctcie.l in getting Lack his own by impressing them iiis, to theoi, superhuman power. The result was that alter eigiit months' resilience he parted irom these people on the best ot terms. Tuey all embraced him, and most of them shed tears, while their last words were "Maria rau! Maria rau!,: "Return, Maria! Return,Maria!' ? that being iiis second name, by which they had found it most easy to call him. The Spider. The worst thing about this poor insect is, that it is so thoroughly uzly. In it nature has sacrificed everything in the formation of the industrial machine necessary for satisfying its wants. Of a circular form, lurnisued with eight U'xrs and eii-lit vigilant eves, it iiston islies (>ind disgusts) by the prc-cminet-ice of an enormous abdonu n. Ignobie trait in which the inattentive und s' pertieial observer will see nothing but a type of gluttony. Alas! it is quite the contrary. Tins abdomen is its workshop, its magazine, the pocket in which the rope-maker keeps his stock; but as he tills this pocket with nothing but his own substance, he can only increase it at his own expense by means ol a;rigid sobriety. True type of the artisan. "It I fast to-day," he says, "I shall, perhaps, get something to eat to-uiorrow; but if my manufacture be stopped, everything is lost, and my stomach will have to fast forever." In character the spider is watchful and cunning; indisposition timid, uneasy and nervous?being endowed with a more sensitive nature than is possessed by any other insect. These characteristics are the natural results o? its miserable condition, which is a state of constant, passive, weary waiting. To be forever watching the ceaseless, joyless, careless dances of the lly, which pays no attention to the greedy desires of his enemy, or the gentle whispers of: " Come here, little one, come this way" ?is to be in a state of constant torment, to be continually undergoing a succession of hopes and mortification. The fatal question: "Shall I get anv dinner?" is continually presenting itself to the dwelier in the web, followed by the still more inister reflection: "If I have no dinner to-day, then no more thread, and : still less hope at dining to-morrow." The male spider often makes a meal j of Li is progeny; while toe f< male loves ! them so tenderly that if she cannot save i them in eircumstauees of f;oriJ she prefers to perish with them. The love which sh2 bears to her little ones she i does not extend toward her mat-. : Sometimes, after having in vain attempted to prevent him from devouring their ofl'sprin?, the idea appears suddenly to present itself to her mind that the cannibal in himself good lor food, on which she instantly fails upon him and eats him up. The Mayor Wants to Sco Thee. A youn? man had been to sea, and on his return l:e narrated to his uncle an adventure wiibh he li>id met on board a ship. "1 wm one nieht leaning over the trnffrnil. looking down into the mights ocean," s iid the nephew, whom we will call VViiliftiu, '"when my gold watch fell fron my fob and immediately sunk out ot sk'ht.

Two milus fior the city is the English cantonment, cor luinii'ig nine or ten regiments. The ad joining valley and hills are full of pre tossinnal robb r.-:. The objects whic they love to steal are arms, money an horses. In securing these th y slio^ skill and daring. A writer in Ch'imben Journal tells several anecdotes of thes thieves, which exhibit their skill i horse stealing: The most popular plan of horse-steal ing requires at least three men to carr it out comfortably and successful One ot them quietly steals his 'way int the stable, and Jays hold of a cord whic has been pushed through one of 1J1 air-holes in the wall by one of hi friends outside. The two use the strin as a saw, while the third pours upon i a plentiful supply of water. The cor silently and speedily cuts its way dow the mud wall. In a wonderlully shoi time the three craftsmen manage to sai around a portion of the wall, whict when pushed outward, leaves a spac sufficient to allow a horse to pass oui Tois done, the remaining work present no p.miuuii.y. im; ropvs wmuu tmi the horse a?e cut, and in n short tim he is cantering to the hills, with genri ally two and sometimes his three nev masters on his back.

POND'S EXTRACT IN BULK, BUT ADHERE 10 THE RULE OP SELLING ONLY IN OUR OWN BOTTLES, INCLOSED IN BUFF WBAPPER, ON WHICII IS PRINTED OUR LANDSCAPE TRADE-MARK. 1.?It insures the purchaser obtaining the Gx.ici.vt article. 2,?It protect t he consumer In buying Pond's Vwlfnnf trnnl/nns/l to! f h W.iJor whlrll WA frttinrt WAS I done a few years ago, when we were induced to furnish dealers with the genuine article In balk. 3.? It protect! the comumer from unscrupulous p.vtlci selling crude, cheap decoctions to him as Pond's Extract, for any person can tell the genuine from the bottle and wrapper. 4.--It protect* the consumer, for It is sot safe to use any other article according to the directions given In our book, which surrounds each bottle of Pond's Extract. 5?It protecti the consumer, for it Is not agreeable to be deceived and perhaps Injured by using other articles un ler the directions for Pond's Extract. O.--Mo other ai tide, manufacture or Imitation has the efltect claimed for and always produced by Pond's Extract. 7.--It is prejudicial to the reputation of Pond's Extact to have people use a counterfeit believing it to be the genuine, for they will pirtly be disappointed, If not Injured by its effects. 8.?Justice to one of the beat medicines in the world, and the hundreds of thousands using It, demands every precaution against having weak ana . injurious preparations palmed off as the genuine. The onlt way this can be accomplished 13 to sell the ozkctnb < put up In a uniform manner?in oca own bottlbs, com- 1 plete with bufl wrappers, traae marks, etc 11JEMEMBEM? I he genuine Pond's Eltract id cheap, became it is strong, uniform and reliable. Our book of directions explains when It can be diluted with water and when to be used full strength. KEMKMBEH-*'That all otber preparations, If | colorless, are mere decoctions, boilings, or produced simply to obtain the odor and without the scientific or practical knowledge of the matter which many years of ' labor has given us. II KM EM II KIT. OUKIVOW IVOW?That all preparations purporting to be superior to Pond's Extract because they hnoe color, are colored simply becausa tla-y have crude, and to unprofessional people using [iii'iii, perhaps dangerous matter in them, and thould invr b* uxtl except under the advice and prescription of i physician. KEMEJIBEB AMD HSTOW-Thit our Tery 'xpengive machinery is the result of thirty years of exjerlence (the mrst of which was entirely given to thia tl A-ork), and constant attention t<> tlie production of a'l b 'orms of Hamame'.is, and that therefore we should what we assert, that Pond's Extract is the best, 1 mrest, and contains -nore virtues of the shrub than any itlier production yet maile.
