The Early Ralu. Down through the misty air, Down from the yloom above, Falling, pattering everywhere, The ram comes quick with love. Softly the missel thrush Sings in ti.e golden storm; The robin under the laurel bush Waits for to-morrow mom. Drip, drip, drip from the eaves, Pit, pit, pit on the pane, Swish, swish, on the drenched leave?, List! 'tis the song of the rain, Grasses are bending low, Gre?>n is the corn and thick; Ton can almost see the netths gri w, They grow so strong and thick. Soft is the wind from the west, Softer the raiii's low sigh; /Tbe sparrow washes his smoky breast, And watches the gloomy sky. Stirred are the loughs by the breeze, Scarcely a leaf is still, Something is moving among the trees Like a restless spirit of ill. Standing watching the rain, Do you not seem to hear The voice of God outspeaking again To man's ungrateful ear ? Promising plenty of peace, Garners with treasure heaped, That seedtime and harvest shall not cease 'Till the harvest of earth bo reaped. j ? A Story Successfully Told. Pretty, plump Mrs. Archibald Steele wrote the following paragraph in one j of her letters to her husband the other j day: "John must come down here at oDce, ; whether yon can spare him or not. Oar j dear Lanva is greatly taken with a tall, \ thin young mi?n, with a hooked rose and thin lips, called Stuyvesant. It is whispered about the hotel that he is a very good match and has the veritablo bine blood of the old Dutch governor in his veins. I mubt say it has a queer way of showing iteelf, for the young ! man is pale as a specter, and dressed in that white duck, with Lis tnnken eyes and bilious skin, is enough to frighten any one. I have nrown to hate him, while Laura is growing to do quite the contrary, I'm afraid. All the evening I he lean's against the wall, never opening | his mouth save to give vent to 6ome ! hateful farcastic criticism upon the ncene around him, and yet dear little Laura's eyes?as indeed ail the other nVimi)?uta nnrr>(>ln?llv hp. pictkj t?jvo iivvuk ? ?J seeching him for some attention. In the ! daytimo he is always with a black J horse, that covers more ground with its | legs when it is going than any animal I J ever paw. When Laura goes out to j dr ve behind it, and vanishes out of j sight with the bony creature, I tremble j to think how dreadful it would be if our j dear little girl ever became part and j parcel of this wretched man and his wicked beast. So I thick John had better come down at once ; I quite long to see his handsome face and hear his honest voice, and I think it is about time John should tell his little story to Laura, and have the thing settled com - | fortablv." Mr. Archibald Steele smiled as be put I the Jettei from h s wife in Lis waistcoat! pocket, and picking tip the morning j paper scanned the news of the clay. Finding nothing therein to ruffle the i exceedingly satisfactory condition of his J affaire, Tie put it down and smiled i again, as only a prosperous, contented, down-town meichant can smile. He was one of tboFe happy exceptions to the ordinary rule of mortals, with whom everj thing went well. His whole ap pearance was an exclamation point to that effect. If he ventured a little hazardously in trade, Fortuno trimmed her 6ails to fa^or him. If he set his heart upon anything relating to domestic felicity, all the elements of art and j nwsare contoired to brine it about. So, I when he stepped to tbc door of the I office and beckoned to a young man | with a strip of commercial paper in his J hand and a pencil behind Juis ear, Mr. j Steele smiled the third time, with the I air oi one who was not at all afraid of I any bilious, blue-blooded obstacle that might be thrown in the path of domestic happiness which he hrmly believed Lad been arranged Dy an omnipotent band. "John," said Mr. Steole, closing the door of his private office, and ltoking benevolently upon the young clerk, "I've got an order here from Mrs. Steele which I wish von would attend to." "Certainly, sir," said Jonn. "Shall * 1 -_J ?i . 1? X fc-u UUb UliU IXiU amvjto uijovii "Why, the fact is. John," said the merchant, enjoying the joke more uiid more, "it's only ono article, a ratlinr bulky one. It wai bargained for long ago. I think yoa will hare to go with John." "Down to the sea shore?" said JoEn, getting a little hot and flustered. " is it a vtry valuable parcel, sir?" "Well, perhaps jour natural modesty may depreciate its worth, John. Mra. Steele and I think a great deal of i*, and Laura, too?I'm sure she does. The commodity is yourself, John. Mrs. Steele wants you to go down and take a little holiday there.'' When tho name of Laura wa3 mentioned the young man's face grew more flustered and hot than before. "You are very kind," said he," and Mrs. Steele is always more like an angel than a woman." " Rather solid and plump for that," interposed Mr. S'.eele; " but I liko the phrase, nevertheless." "Bat it is simple madness," pursued John, " to dream of further happiness than I now enjoy?jour affection and that of your wile, my position here?I don't dare, I can't hope for anything more. Oh, Mr. Steele, I can't tell my story. She would shiink from mn with aversion, Bha is so yonnar and beautiful. Let me at least enjoy the prosent." 1X1 iud uirauumu ous, b.lious, bine-blooded scoundrel will 3*rry her off from us." Then John's face grew pale and stem. "If there i3 the slightest feeling npon her part for any one else, then, indeed, Mr. Steele, is my case hopeless " The commercial paper fluttor^d from his hand, the pencil fell from his ear ; ^ ?.1 U An/1 n/vnmff fl?A onp ilt3 ItJtkLiCU UIO UCUU Bgrnuou 1UC ucon canvi trembled. " Wby, who would suppose you could be such a coward?" said Mr. Steele, impetuously. "You shall go down with me this very day." All the way to the sea-she re John'e face wore the look of one who had resolved to storm a deadly breach, but who did not hope to survive the attempt. Even the ocean, when it c >nfron'.ed them, wore a threatening look. Upon ha horizon a pile of clouds formed a background wau and p.lnomy, a great black mist lay in the z nith,a dense mi ir?p^r almost touched the water. " A very na*>ty ( ea," said Mr Steele John sniffed it n;, his hyps dilating, his broad shoulder*.X[?andiug, his head high in thi sea-scented air. A tramp on the hard wet sand, and like a meteor a black horse shot by, disappearing in the inist, leaving for John the memory of a charm ug head, crowned with blende curling hair, two kind eyes bent itpcn his own, a white, waving hand extended in salutation "JohD," said Mr. Steele, "did you eee the face of i hat man ? I count upon your seeing Laura. Did you see his thin, cruel lip?, his treacherons eyes?" "Ionlyssw Laura, sir," said JohD, simply. liter on, Mr Archibald Steele and his plump, pretty wife were alone in their private parlor. Her dimpled hand lay lovingly in hi?, her shapely head, fresh from the hands cf the hair-dresser, jested on his shoulder. Suddenly the door opened, and there was heard the rustle of silken drapery. A still shapelier head, and fresh from the hands of Ihe hair dresser, peeped in at the door. Laura was pale, her little white bands were clasped together, her voice trembled. "Oh, papa, mamrai, come directly! Mr. Stuyvesant ventured out toe far, and?aud?" "Was drowned?" paid Mr. Steele, with a peculiar combination of pity and relief. "No, no; how csn you suppose so dreadful a thing ? He was reseuod, but is very weak and ill. Ha has asked for ice; and may I go ? Will yen come with tie, mamma? Oh, I beg of you ! Can't she, papa ?" Her blue eyes filled with tear?, and her little feet teemed panliDg to fly through the corridor. "Certainly not," said Mr. Steele. " Let him wait until ho is able to come to you. Either a man is drowned or he isn't. Because a man is imbecile enough to risk hi? life, that is no reason lor your being the talk of the hottl." Laura raised her head proudly. " No danger of that, papa ; and beside, every one is occupied now with the one that rescued hioa." ???? " And what madman was that?" said | poor Mr. 8teele, who could not recon- j cile himself to the present condition of! affairs. " I don't know ; a stranger, I believe. I was so interested in Mr. Stuyvesant I forgot to ask.M ' " Puh !" paid Mr. Steele, gettiDg upon his feet and walking to the door. "I'll go and find out all abont It. Do you stav here until I return." Before he had gone far, Mr. Steele heard from the excited guests several different versions of the affair; but one onrl nil onrVDo/1 fliuf tllO rf><5f?:iPr cnnld hft nothing less than a champion swimmer. " A regular water dog P said one gentleman to Mr. Steele; and as the merchant had heard the epithet used but once before in his life, and that on an occasion of vital interest to himself, he sought out the hero of the hour and ! found, to his astonishment, that it was John Waters himself. He was quite enveloped in thellounces and fnrbeiows of pretty and sympathetic women, who insisted upon knowing overv half second if he was sure he felt strong and well; ar.<? how in the world could he buffet those dreadful waves in that grand, heroic way, and how did he manage to drag poor, dear Mr. Stuyvesant to the shore ? John, like any otherheroof the hour, joyed this womanly adulation, but looked anxiously at Mr. Steele when he approached. "Hum!" growled that worthy merchant ; " a pretty fellow you, to* interfere with other people's plans! How do yon fcnow be wanted to be rescued ? 41 Ho appeared ansioustbat way, sir," said John. " He wrapped himself abont me like a devil fish. I thought one time that we'd bo h go down together. There onght to be a school for teaching people how to let themselves be saved. Xi'8 the easiest thing in the world; the water itself is an accessory if % on manage it right." " Oh, do tell ns how. Mr. Waters ? please!'' chorused t.) e pretty and sympathetic women; and as John began his lesson Mr. Steele slipped away. "Oh, papa,'' began Laura, "how is Mr. Stuvvesant?" " I don't know?I didn't ask," bo replied. " I was so interested in the fellow tbat dragged him ashore. He's an old friend of ours. The way we made his acquaintance was on just such an occasion; ho saved a lady from drowning." " Why, papa, he must be a splendid fellow!" said Laura. "Magnificent!" paid Mr. Steele "You see we had traveled over considerable of *lhe world together, your mother and I. while you were yet a baby, and wo found it rather odd, one mornine, to discover that, having crosRed the ocean and the Alps, loitered in the Hudson Highlands, traveled thence down the Mississippi valley, across the American desert to California, and back again by another route, yr,ur mother hid never beon up the East river as far as Morrisania. It eeemed so hard to have neglected this home excursion that we determined upon it at once. The morning was wet, but that didn't matter. Your mother looked prettier ia a waterproof and rubbers, with a shovel hat tied under her chin, than most women would in a ball dress. She wasn't a bit afraid of rain and mud. She was a little too reckless, for, getting ashore to see one of the in stitutions for vagabond boys, her foot slipped off the plank and she disappeared." n *v-? innffl" 10 iUl. kJl'CViD DIU^'pRU a U1IUUVV) ?*w voice faltered; tho plump little hand of bis wife t-lippul iuto his owd; he clutched it, and went on again: ' One minute I fas' her, as neat and trim a figure as ever graced a waterproof and shovel hat, the next she was gone." " Gone!" cried Laura. 'Gone where ?" "In'o the water, chiid; iDto the hnngrv, greedy waves that surged up to take her away from the fondest heart in the universe; and if hadn't been for one of those very vagabond boys who had been lurking there for a chance to escape from the island, you'd have lost ns both, my dear, for I mado an agonized plunge after her, though I'm ashamed to 6ay I coaldn's swim a stroke, and should only havo gone to the bottom like a plummet of lead, bat an official standing by caught and held me, *aad ? - - -I 1 xi. -i T 1 YT?_ L 1 1 1 cnea out mai uuimuy waters uau jut*r, as safe as a fcrivit; aud presently tbat vagabond boy came up with your sweet mother 011 the- other side of the boat, and the official cried out, ' He's a regular water-dog, that Johnny Waters! And these were the very words a gues1 here used in relation to John a minute or so ago." ' John !' cried poor bewildered Laura, "our John? Mamma was the lady? Was Joha ihe boy? And is it John, our John, that saved poor Mr. Stuyvesant ?" "Thevery same, darling?John, our John ; he's always on hand when there's trouble or danger." "Oh. mamma! mamma!''cried Laura, forgetting all the years that had passed since the accident, and crumpling both the cnjffarea heads in a most reckless uu a u uvi "Papa,'' sbe said, after a pause, "we must go and find John. I want to tell him how I?I? " "Yes, dear,"raid Mr. Archibald Steele, and all the way through the corridor and into the parlors of the hotel, with his plump and pietty wife on one arm, his lovely daughter on the other, he strodo. But John was still surrounded by the pretty and sympathetic women, who had cruelly deserted the blue-blooded descendant of the old Dutch governor, lying in his most graceful and languid of attitudes on a neighboring lounge?the descendant, not the governor?and had flo jked one and all to the handsome and heroic founder of the new school for teaching people the way to be rescued from drowning. These charming creatures spent so mush of their time at the seashore, and it was so necessary and so nice to be wise! John was almost hidden in flonnces and laceB; but when his eyes met Laura's bo plunged out of these costly billows with his usual ease and intrepidity. There was something in Laura's eyes that had been there before ; a tempting languor, a bewitching shyness, a bewildering splendor, that steeped his soul in a mad, sweet hope. Laura stopped one moment to whisper to her mamma, and John gasped out to Mr. Steele : "if I dared?if I only dared tell her?" " I've told her myself!" said the merchant. " That I wad a pauper without home and friends?" " I told the 8torv in my own way, John," continued Mr. Steele, " and 1 ilatter myself I told it successfully; don't. s-ijoiI it, if voa plea"e. I have managed the past and present, do you ;ook ont for the fnture, John." And John did. Laura walked through rhe parlors that night, the envied of all the pretty and sympathetic women and brave and appreciative men that congregated there. A Orcek Inscription. A yonug lady of Detroit wrote to Congressman Lord to know if among the stones contributed to tbe Washington monument there were any having Greek inscriptions. After considerable research, in which the services of Librarian Spoffor 1 wer? enlisted, and au investigation covering a period of three weeks, a stono was found inscribo 1 with Greek characters. Tho translation is as follows: TO GEORGE WASHINGTON, I HERO, SOLDIER, STATESMAN?FOUNDER : Of Well-Named Modern Liberty? ; .

The Noise of the Fingers. Dr. Hammond says that when jou poke the end of ycur finger in your ear, tho roaring noise you hear is the sonnd of the circulation in your finger, which is tie fact, as any one can demonstrate for himself by first putting his fingers in his ears and then stopping them up with oilier substance. Try it, and think what a wonder of a machine your body i<?, that even the points of your fingers are such busy workshops that they roar like a small Niagara. Tbe roaring is prob ibly more than the noise of the circulation of the blood. It is the voice of all the vital {rccesseH together?the tearing down and building up processes that ara always going forward in every Jiving tody from conception down to dMth, A FREAK OF FORTUSE. flow n New York Millionaire Became a HncpicUcr?A iHur rinse that Wraugh Only Ruin. On of the noted characters of St. Louis, according to the Post Dispatch of thut city, is Joseph W. Rathbone, a former New York millionaire, who now earns a livelihood by gathering rags. He appears to be about sixty years of age and is very reticent as to his past life. Recently he was recognized by a friend, who imparted the story of his carcer to a reporter. " oometmng use iweuiy-uvo or imrty : years ago," said the friend, 41 Joseph W. Rtthbone was one of the most promi- i nent young mon in New York. He was j the eidest of two sons, his brother being 1 abont three years younger. His father ; was at one time a sea captain and | made several voyages to China, on one of which tha youngest Ron accompanied him, but never returned. During a storm he was swept overboard and lost, thus leaving Joseph tho sole heir to the old man's money, his mother having died while he was quite young. At this time Joseph, I think, was eighteen years old and was j at Yale college. On bis return from j bis last voyage his father decided to j give up his seafaring life and settle j down in New York. He purchased a i dwelling on Twenty-third street near j Sixth avenae, which waB then a fashion- i able residence portion of the city, and 1 probably feeling lonely in his old age, took his son out of oollege and purchased for him an interest in a large wholesale dry goods house. The young man showed remarkable tact, and for two three vears worked faithfully and ener i geticaily, much to his father's pride and I satisfaction. Then he began to mingle ! in society, ?ud as he always had plenty j of money, ho wa.s welcomed everywhere j by the yonng bloods of the town and by i the fortune-hurting belles and their mammas. Although he did not actually neglect his business, he did not seem a-t deeply engrossed in it as formerly, and much of his ijconjo was spent in wine suppers and other kinds of dissipation followed by the rapid young men of the metropolis. '"Finally he made the acquaintance of a young lady who moved in the upper circles of society, the daughter of a widow who was reported to be very wealthy. How she obtained her money, if she had any, was never known, and there was an air of myateiy about her history which caused considerable talk in society; but as she and her (laughter appeared to be refined, educated people, they were recognized' by the better classes. The daughter was an exceedingly handsome girl, very vivacious and coquettish in her manner, and always had at least a dozen ardent admirers at her heels. Sho affected the strongest attachment for young Rathbone, who, in turn, eeemed perfectly devoted to her. It was finally reported that they were engaged to be married, and the gossiping spinsters whispered that if there was any love in the match it was all on his side?that (-he wa3 simply after his money, or the money that would be his when his father died. It was known that the latter was strongly opposed to the match and that he did over?thing in his power to break it up. He might have succeeded, perhaps, bnt one day a stroke of apoplexy laid him out on the sidewalk in front of his own I residence, and the young man became J the owner of something like half a million. " All opposition now being removed the wedding, as a natural resnlr, fol lowed, and it was on3 of the sweetest affairs New York bad ever known. It took place at the residence of the j bride's mother, on Twentieth Btreet, near Fifth avenue, and was attended by 6ome of the most prominent people of the city. The supper, which was gotten up by Delmonico, was perfection. Wine flowed as freely as water, and at mid night it was said that the festivities be gau to assume the appearance of a Jardin Mabilo ball rather than the moderate pleasure of a well conducted wedding in upper tendom. Before 2o'clock the quieter portion of the guests had become disgusted, and left for their homes, and by 4 o'clock there was hardly any one present. About this time the groom succumbed to the influenco of the wine, and was carried helplessly drunk to one of the upper rooms, where he was left to sleep off the eflects of his overdose. '?About 9 o'clock he awoke and gath- j ering his scattered senses, he started i for the room which had been set apart | for the use of himself and bride, deep- j ly humiliated and prepared to make a most ubject apoloxy to her for his conduct. He found thodoor unlocked, and entering discovered that a rival suitor was in her company. For a moment ho stood ps though suddenly transformed into etone, and then he quietly closed the door, walked slowly down the stairs, donned his hat and overcoat and left the house, "About a week afterward, having converted all his property into casb, he disappeared from New York, and was absent for nearly two years. In tho Vi?., TTjifo VlOfl PTltorpd A NTlit UiCaUUiUlO Ul) TT ? for divorce on the ground of desertion, had ob'ained a decree and was married to tho man who ha3 taken her husband's place. When Rathbone returned he was a complete wreck. He was found one d*y in Union square sufferin? from delirium tremens, and was sent by several of his friends toBellevue hospital, where he remained for more than a month. He had spent every dollar of his fortune, and one of his friends, after clothing him rospectably, secured for him a position in a retail dry goods store; but he remained there less than six months. He gave himself up entirely to drink, and for several years frequented the lowest drinkinsr houses of the city, one of the most disgusting epecimens of fallen humanity imaginable. He was sent to Blackwell'a Island twico on the charge ; of vagrancy, and upon his release the last time he disappeared from New York. | " How cr why Rathbone came to St. ' Louis is not known, as he refuses flatly to talk about himself, and sometimes flies into an uncontrollable fit of rage when the subject is forced upon him. He lives in a little sbanty in the vicini- j ty of Broadway and North Market street, j and has no companions but his wretched- i looking liorse and a mangy dog, who ' has an irrepressible inclination to lunch off the bodies of trespassers on his masters premises. Tbe old man has evidently forsworn drink, and hoards like a miser every dollar he makes as a ragiur.u. His mind has undoubtedly become weakened through brooding over the deception practiced upon him, and some day ho will probibly end his troubles by suicide. Of all the sad romanoes of real life his is undoubtedly one of the saddest." Use flnd Abuse of tbe Hair. Every organ of the human body is given to do some special service to that botly. To prevent that service, to thwart any orpan from its legitimate business is to injure the bodv more or less. The hair of the head has a special and important business to do which it is too often prevented from doing, much to the injury of the possessor. First, itia intended as a prot?ction and coveriug for the head. The old adage : " Keep the head cool an I the feet warm," has led maay persons into the mistake of thinking that the head can bo safely exposed to the cold. 'Keep the head cool," is a safe maxim if applied to the insile of the head, that is, it meant to deter from brainhea'ing drinks; it is very unwise if meant that the head should no1, be well protected from severe cold, from cnfctlDg and i evere winds. When the fashion of removing every strand of hair from the ears and temples, and turnirjr it up from the nape of tho neck, *\is tir6t adopted by women, the Loni-iii Lancet commented on the style aad said it would induce a plentiful crop of neuralgia. The Lancet'Y prophecy has proved to be true. Facial pains are quite common with young girls; neith?r the present stylo of hatB nor of wearing the luir affords their heads anv protection from tho biting blast. The grand important businees for tho hair is to eorve as an electrical conductor, to catch from the air electricity and convey it to the brain, and through the brain to the nerves of the body. This function is thwarted by fashion Alen cat their hair too short women twist and torture, and tie up the endB of Ihe hair and confine them tightly to fhe head. B )th sexes would be more vigorous and elastic, mentallv and bodily, if the hair was permitted to do its part in the human j economy. Justice exists independent of tho law, i and no statue can modify its principles, I although it may effect its attainment. ' Dogs After a Jack-Rabbit.
