I TWILIGHT IN MY GARDEN. "" 0 purple twilight, from thy dim recesses Pale memories steal and shape themstlTM anew, Soft breezes stir and lift fair phantom tresses, Tears mingle with the sacramental dew, And shadowy lips are wreathed with t?nd?r smiles, And loving bands shine faintly through th* gloom I 'Tia not alone the roses' fragrant hearts That flood the dewy dusk with rare perfums. The loved and lost with noiseless feet are straying Among the garden's old familiar walka. I wonder do they hear the fountains playing And see the lilies swaying on their stalkB? O twilight time, when all earth's jars and fret Die out, and quiet reigns on every hand! Who knows but for a little space perchance The dear ones slip from out the ' 'summer land?" ?H.

In the primitive Hoosier cabin?rough, uncouth, simplo abodes?more genuine happiness has been enjoyed than in all the flue, costly mansions in the great city of New York. Thousands of wealthy, respectable men and women are living today who were born, reared and married in such humble cabins. And there are millions of people living today who have no idea how these cabins are constructed. Tho pioneer from some of the old eastern or southern states, with his wife, six or eight children, gun and dog, would come to Greene county in Ijiis covered wagon, which was the family abode until i he erected his cabin, which was constructed thus: Cut about 40 logs 8 or 10 inches in diameter, 20 of them 16 feet long and 20 of them 14 feet long; slope the ends off half and notch tho other half to fit; put chunks in the cracks of the logs ^ and daub them with mud. Tho gables were made of shorter logs until reaching what is called the comb, the ends sloped down to suit tho pitch of the roof. It being now ready for covering, cut poles 5 to 6 inches in diameter, 16 feet long, or the length of the house, notch -> ^? Vl~. Qly font mem UOWfl Ull lUO ^UUIVO awuu w/2 AWV apart. Cut down a large oak tree, square the butt and saw cuts four feet long, split them in blocks about six inches square, take a frow and rive boards half an inch thick, lay them lengthwise on the aforesaid poles cr rafters," breaking joints; weight them down with small poles. You are now ready for the floors. Cut poles six inches in diameter, length the width .<" . of the cabin, for lower joists; plaoe them about four feet apart; cut a tree?generally linn or some soft wood?saw logs about six or eight feet long; split into, slabs about three inches thick; hew smooth. With these make the floor. The door is made of boards the same as the roof, only longer. The fastening is a wooden latch with a string hanging on the outside. One window, 14 by 16 inches, has greased paper for glass. The ceiling is made with poles for joists covered with clapboards. +Vin mnct c/?iontiflr? rn?ehan leal part of cabin building?the fireplace and chimney. Saw out about six feet wide oat of one end of the house, six feet high from the ground; case up the aperture. Inclose this aperture, extending back far enough for the back wall qf the fireplace and as high as the aperture. Now dig yellow clay, dampen and with a small maul beat down and form the hearth, jambs and back wall. Generally the jambs and back wall are about a foot thick. Now split sticks the proper length for the size of the chimney?the sticks about an inch thick and IK wide. Make a mortar of the yellow clay and build your chimney to the desired height. This makes a comfortable dwelling without nails, glass or paint. Move in and have a "hoe dow^."?Linton Call. Black's Method of Writing. It is said of the late William Black that his literary method was a slow and painful one. He thought about a proposed I ' book for months before he put pen to paper. Heoonjured up the chief incidents and characters and lived with his personages, so to 6peak. When ho came to the writing, he was obliged to have perfect quiet. He could bear no noise at alL Those who complain of his endless descriptions of scenery will be interested in knowing that ho made careful and elaborate notes of that scenery, of localities and especially of atmospheric effects. "If one does not correctly and completely frame a character or an incident with all the circumstances of the time," he said, "one gets only a blurred page. For example, one may say, 'It was a beautiful 7 day.' But what kind of a beautiful day? It must be described so that the picture shall be beautiful and finished. Every human being in real life has a background, and must have in a novel if the story is to appear real to tho reader." Nerve? Well, Rather! A woman shoplifter was caught stealing an umbrella one day in a Philadelphia dry goods store. But it was decided not to prosecute her if she would pay for the um orena, vaiuea at wmuu sua uiu. The next day she returned and requested to see the manager. When that surprised person could recover himself sufficiently to ask her business, the woman calmly told him that she had been pricing umbrellas in other stores and found she could purchase one like her own for $2 and she wanted to know if he wouldn't refund her 50 cents. As a tribute to her monumental nerve the 50 cents was handed her In silence.?New York Tribune. Sonthey and Scott. A letter of Southey's recently sold in England contains an interesting prophecy.

THE NEW COLONEL. ~ Itw Grant Proved Himself t? B* I Matter of Men. When Captain Grant, formerly of the 1 regular army, was appointed colonel of an Illinois regiment in place of Colonel j Goode, John A. Logan while escorting' him to the camp said: "Colonel, the regiment is a little unruly. -Do you think you j can m&nacte tho bovs?" "I think I can," replied Grant. Logan and McClernand, two congressmen, made patriotic speeches, and Logan, after a two hours' oration, led forward a quiet man in plain citizen's clothes, saying: "Allow me to present to you your new commander, Colonel IT. S. Grant." "Most of the soldiers observed him for the first time," writes Hamlin Garland, from whose "Life of Grant" we have quoted. '' They were astonished and disappointed." Grant looked like a grave country doctor. But he showed that he could manage the '' unruly boys.'' There were loud calls: "Grant! Grant I A speech!" Their late colonel used to "orate" before them. The new colonel stepped two paces toward them and said i 1? in a cicai , uiuk lunc. "Men, go to your qiiarters!" If an 8 inch shell had exploded In their ranks, the "boys" would not have been more surprised, but they went to their quarters. There was that in the new colonel's voice which expressed command. The tone was not loud, but it was given with a clear cut infieotion which 6howed him a master of men. That evening at dress parade, aa he stepped to the center of tho regiment, wearing no uniform save a pair of gray trousers with a stripo running down tho outside scams and an old sword, the men jested in low voices about their new commander. Colonel Goode, the late colonel, not infrequently used the daily parade as an occasion to make a speech, and the men expected'one from Grant. The line officers advanced, and the adjutant saluted. "A soldier's first duty is to learn to obey his commander. I shall expect my orders to be obeyed as exactly and as instantly as if we were on the field of battle." That was all he said. As the men marched back to quarters a private asked: "What do they mean by sending down a ; little man like him to command this regiment? He can't pound dry sand in a straight hole." "He can't make a speech. Look at the clothes he wears. Who is he anyhow?" "Boys," retorted a sergeant, "I'll teu | you who he is. He's the colonel of this J regiment, as you'll find, and don't you forget it." ! The sergeant was a prophet. The regiment had obtained all the liquor it wished for. Grant stopped that. A man resisted arrest. "What's the matter?" asked Grant of I the officer of tho day.. "The man persists in bringing liquor into camp and refuses to give it up." "Put him into the guardhouse." "Ho refuses to go." Grant stepped up to him, seized him by the collar and jerked him outside of the camp gate. "Get out of my regiment," he said. "Youare not worth disciplining. If you como back, I'll have you shot!" A big, dangerous man named Mexico was tied up with a score of others for leaving camp without permission. "For every minute I stand here I'll have an ounce of your blood," said he to the colonel. "Gag him!" replied Grant. One by one, as the hours passed, the other offenders wero released by the officers of the guard. Grant released Mexico himself. The bully saw that his colonel was his master, and the regiment began to find out that it had acoloneL?Youth's Companion. Sensible Physical Exercise*. I have always been much impressed with the facility with which the graduate of West Point or of Annapolis does a variety of things in physical exercises?exercises someof which are perhaps not always characterized by the name of athletics, al- j though useful not only in physical (level-! opment, but aa adjuncts through life. The man who can ride, and who can swim, and who can dance, and who can fence, and who can do other things such as are taught at West Point and Annapolis has distinct accomplishments, the attainment of whi?h has not only benefited him during the period of attainment, but the possession of which will continue to benefit him so long as ho shall have the use of his physical powers. I have long thought that the graduate of Harvard ought to possess physical accomplishments equivalent to, even if not identical with, thoso of his brothers at West Point and at Annapolis, and I am i inclined to think that, unless he is a cripple or otherwise infirm physically, it is the j duty of the university to see that he does possess such before it gives him his degree ?Harvard Graduates' Magazine.

Light Furniture. i1 It is a testimony to our growing sani- 5 tary wisdom that bedrooms should now be so universally done in light effects. The n heavy suits of furniture deemed indispen- w sable to the bride setting up housekeeping i a generation ago, and which took aconsid- ? erable share of the outfit purchase money, g are today the most unsalable articles sent s' to an auction room. A large and splendid 01 black walnut bedstead that cost $00 80 J* years ago, without even springs, brought $1.50 at an auction sale With it was sent j1 a small white iron bedstead with braes, trimmings, the sort that costs $8.50 to a $10. This was sold the same day for $8, a good evidence of the proportionate demand for the two articles. No heavy draperies Q: are nut in the modern bedroom, only ,e dainty and wash&ble stuffs.

An Excellent Plan. A woman who is building a tiny house, r which, however, is the crystallization of n her ingenuity and ideas of convenience picked up here, there and everywhere, has ^ in the china closet opening from her din- * ing room two deep drawers inserted under the bottom shelf. The drawers are ? each of them 14 inches deep and are lined throughout with tin. In one of them bread is kept and in the other cake. They fit snugly, the cake drawer locking. ? Everybody knows that the tin bread and , cake boxes bought at the shops and kept ? on the floors of closets are very well while j1 new, but the careless maids, opening and :c shutting them many times a day, soon :j bang them into a shape which prevents * their tight closing. "When that condition j* is reached, they are about as useless as an . open shelf for the purpose for which they j are designed, mas ui Keeping uui mc ucau and damp air and also mice, if such infest the place.

About w 4 p. m. she returns, and after sorting the 3, afternoon mails delivers telegrams in the a] village. She was only 12 or 13 when she sj began letter carrying.
