A DOUBLE HARVEST.
A farmer sat at his kitchen door,
Smoking his noonday pipe,
And over the fields his eyes were cast,
Where the grain so golden ripe,
Nodded away
Through the summer day,
With shadows and sunshine hard at play.
Down by the gate the farmer saw
(And be chuckled low in glee)l
Two, who whispered together there.
"SoI" said the farmer. "I see
If I guess aright,
And their skies are bright,
There'll be harvesting soon with main at
might."
The weeks went by, and the old barn groanc
With the might of harvest store
I But the farmer laughed, for well
There remained one harvest more,
Since Cupid had sown,
With grain of his own,
A crop that love must harvest alone.
The fatmer sat at his kitchen door,
W hen the evening meal was do;e,
And he laid a kiss on his daughter's brow,
And welcomed his new-found son;
And the harvest time,
With wedding bells' chime,
Sang its days into merry rhyme.

"Young ladies, this is Miss De
mar."
All eyes turned towards th
madame, as, leading a little dar'
figure by the hand, she cam
among us. It is An embarrassin
position to meet for the first tim
the gaze of fifty critical eyes; bu
Miss Delmar bore it bravely. Thel
and there I took a fancy to tb
little thing with her sweet fac
and great pleading eyes.
Ours was a fashionable schoo
and Miss Delmar's dress was ver
simple and of cheap material, bu
it was worn with that indesribf
ble grace which betokens the lad;
and which no more outside el<
gance can give.
1 f'ound I had not made a mi~
take in my quickly formed est
mate of her, and before long w
became the dearest of friends. *
I noticed Ruth never meontione
her parents, and that when th
other girls were eagerly ingqairin
for expected letters she was a
ways silent. So one day, I aske
her :
"Ruth, are you an orphan ?"
Instead of answering, her darl
eyes filled, and putting her arm
around my neck she burst int
tears. I never asked her an;
questions. after that, for I kne'
there must be some sad story i
her life, and not for worlds woul
I give her pain.
Time passed ; and the girls wer
all preparing to go home for vi
cation-I with the others ; an
much to my joy, Ruth consente
to go with me. Ibad written an
asked papa, and he never havin
refused me anytbhing in my lif
wrote back a card of invitatior
We were home. How good
seemed to roam over our hous
with a companion ! I never ha
had a sister, and my mother ha
died, leaving me, a little, lonel
girl of six, to be the only mistre:
of "Ormsby Hall," as' our plac
was called.
I felt very glad when I saw thi
papa was pleased with my frien<
and Howard my brother, usuall
so indifferent to strangers, treate
her with the most marked cour
esy.
As the weeks glided by, I bega
to notice a strange changei
Howard. He, who had nev4
seemed to care for the society <
ladies, began to make excuses t
be with Ruth and me, joining 1
in our walks; and dropping h
beloved law books to take up tl
croquet mallet.
Ruth's dark cheek had a brigh
er tint at those times; and, wit
the romance of eighteen, I at ont
made up in my mind a love stor;
and brother Howard and nm
friend were the "dramatis pe
sonae." But my pretty drea
was shattered when one day Rui
camne to me with a very wbi
face, and said that she must leas
me and return to school.
"Go back to school ! and bef'o:
me ! Why, Ruthie!"
.And then, still with that whit
pare fac' TRnth told me ti
reason. My brother Howard had
told her he loved her, and she had
refused him.
Taking her by both arms I held
her off to look into her face.
"Ruth, you do love him? Do
not deny it, for I see it in your
eyes! Why do you refuse him ?"
Then she spoke :
"Sadie, dear friend, let me tell
you my story,land that will ex
plain why 1 cannot enter your
family as your brother's wife, and
your sister."
We sat down together on the
A sofa, and as I held her hand she
told me her sad story. fIer mother
d had died, leaving her an infant, in
the care of adissolute father, who,
while she was still a mere girl,
had committed a robbery, and
been imprisoned. Then she had
gone out into the world alone and
friendless, until she had found a
place in a large family to take
care of the young children. By
strict self-denial she had saved
enough money to pay for her ed
udation at madame's, with the in
tention of becoming a teacher.
That was all.
Pressing my lips to her soft
cheeks, I said, impulsively:
C"Why, Ruthic, is that the only
reason you refused Howard ?"
. "The only reason," she rep.eated,
sadly-"yes, and surely ieason
enough. I-"
k Here an unexpected interrup
e tion occurred.
The draperies parted from an
e 4pcQye near, and my brother
t stepped into the room.
a Ruth gave a little cry as she
e saw him, (oh! how noble he
e looked!) And -well she might;
for almost in a~single instant her
slight figure- was clasped tightly
in his arms.
. Then, regardless of me, he spoke
-reproachfully, but oh, so tender
Y ly! And Ruth just let herself
stay in his strong arms, and did
not shrink when he lifted her face
*to read his answer in her soulful
.eyes. I stole away-they did not
Sheed me. At last I had a sister,
Howard told papa all of his
dpromised wife's story and the dear
eold gentleman spoke, as I knew he
would, words of kindness and
.counsel, and laid his hand in bless
ding on my Ruth's dark head.
So Ruth gave up her idea of
going back to school, and we were
Sall as happy as happy could be.
SThis week we were to give a gar
oden party, and all the young and
old of the neighborhood were in
Svited. -Some of the older people
npreferred to stay in the parlors,
dand there papa brought Ruth, to
sing for them his favorite Scotch
eairs. Of course, I was there too,
.and Howard was not far off.
d Ruth looked lovely tha.t night
din her white dress, with creamy
r iosebuds nestling, as if thoroughly
gcontentedn io r bosom and hair. 1
, had never seen her wear any jew
Selry before, and 1 noticed on her
Sround, white arm an elegant brace
let.
d As she sat there, the jeweled
d clasp of the bracelet on her arm
, gleamed and caught the light, and
as I saw old Judge Morris, my fa
a ther's dearest friend, start vio
lently and bend forward, looking
t intently at the player's arm a look
of suppressed excitement was in
yhis face, and after she had done
I saw him go and speak aside to
SHoward, awhile. Then they left
the room together.
.The hours swiftly flew by, and
it camne time for- the party to
r break up.
f The next day Howard went
y away (on -business he said.) He
s returned in a few days, and one
is morning shortly after the bell
e rang, and some one wished to see
Ruth .in the library. Wondering
Swho it could be, and fearing she
1h. knew not what Ruth went down.
e A time elapsed, and she came
back. As she went to the toilet
table and took up the bracelet
:lying -there, I noticed the strange
n expression her face wore.
bh "Ruth, what is it ? What has
e happened ?"
e Stooping, she dropped a sudden
kiss on my forehead and exclaim
e ed :
Oh ! Sadie, how can I ever thank
e you enough ?"
o Before T could speak she was
gone, and I was left alone wit
my wondermnCt.
Aftera while Howard came--h
too, with his features sLrangel
working.
"Sadie. come to Ruth," he saii
Whop. I opened the library doc
[ started back, for there, sittin
iido by side,, as close as if the
ere lovers, were my father
lear friend and my Rutbic. As
mtered, Judge Morris rose an
look my band in both bis owi
[Uis eyes were full of tears, an
als voice faltered as he said :
"Miss Sadie, let me give you
ather's thanks. Through God
infinite mercy you have been t:
iieans of bringing mne to my Ion
ost child."
All was soon explained. Judu
Uorris had married early in li
i beautiful French girl, and aft<
*ome years an infant was bo
rhe mother died soon after, an
ll that was left to the bereave
husband was his child. He ha
in his employ a servant who ha
lived with him a few years, and i
hom he had great confidence
bit after A time be began t0 su
pect him of dishqnesty, and aft<
)btaining sufficient proof he taxc
im with it and discharged hir
That night his little girl wi
missing. Ilewards were offere
but no clue to. his lost child coul
be found. The cabinet containin
is wife's jewels was gone, to,
ind it was conjectured that t]
ief bad fled to a foreign countr:
rhe bracelet with the je.wel(
.asp which had attracted his a
,ention on Ruth's arm, he iim,
liately recognized as one of h
wife's ornaments.
He had spoken to Howard, as
3ad noticed that night and, Hov
ird's "business" the next da
ws to the prison where PRuth
supposed father was confined; at
)n obtaining permission to see tb
prisoner, my brother had gain
rom him the confession that I
nd Judge Morris's servant wei
ne and the same, and that tI
bild he had stolen for reveng
was the girl who bore the nanr
>f Ruth Delmar. He had give
Lhe bracelet to .Ruth, and told he
it was her mother's.
As Judge Morris paused, Rut
raised her lustrous eyes, whit
bad been hidden on my shoulde
and then, with one thrilling cr
is if unable to be parted longe
te newly found parent and chi
were clasped in each other
arms.
Ruth did not go back to schot
but went to her father's homn
There, after a little while, Hoi
ard went, too. Judge Morris cu
not consent to let his new four
aughter leave him, and t]
young couple agreed to make b~
home theirs.

d If there is one characteristic
a. which distinguishes the United ]
d States Department more than ano
ther, it is the practcal every day
a utility of everything you see. To.
's the European who has studied !
1c Brother Jonathan through the me- I
g dium of Sam Slick or the broad I
caricatures of Yankee Hill, it is a E
e somewhat startling revelation that
Ee the young man who was once Bro
r ther Jonathan, but has now become
.. Uncle Saa, is one of the most or
d namental and aesthetic of all orna
d mental and aesthetic persons. His i
d Kentucky jeans which used to reach ]
d half way between his ankle Ltd his
n knee are changed for' the fnest of
; cassimers, his necktie of blue or
s- yellow or green is replaced by the
r most immaculate of chokers. He
d never wears an Alexander larger
a. than six and three-quarters, and
ts the set of his superb swallow-tail
i, is the wonder and delight of all
Ld the young bloods along the boule
g vards. Brother Jonathan is not i
, what he was and Sister Jonathan
ie is not what she was. "Our Gal,"
. as pictured by Mrs. Williams a few
d years ago, who walked around in a 1
t- blue pinafore with the most absurd ]
e- knot on the top of her head, and 1
is was constantly kicking up her heels
to the tune of "Bobbing Around"
I can scarcely be- found in Paris.
7- All through the Exhibtiou you
Y realize the change that has taken
'I- place in everything American in
id the last thirty years.
e I remarked, at the opening of
d this letter, that the practical utility
e of things in the American Depart
e'e maent was the most striking charac
e teristic ; but with that utility is dis;
e played a taste unsurpassed by that
e of any other nation. One of the dis
n tinguishing features of the French
r Department is the beautiful man
nerin which the goods are put up,but
h the Americans seem to have brought
bh this peculiarity to the dignity
r, of a high art, and the maner in which
y, it is done almost entitles it to the
rr, dignity of a science. Allen &
Id Co., of Richmond, of whom I spoke
' last week, exhibit only tobacco ;
but on the various classes of goods
>, are labels costing thousands and
e. thousands of dollars ; works which,
r- if exhibited as specimens of art,
Id might have carried off the gold
ien prize -of the Academy. In
le the Department of Food a firm
is from the West exhibits lard ; the
roof of their little building has been
*decorated by an eminent artist and
to is - one of the most beduftiful works
, in the entire Exposition. The labels
y.which cover the goods of this firm
s are of unsurpassed beauty, and yet
is they are only an advertisement for
of lard which is the most unpoetic
le and uns'entimental of all the sub
of lunary things. Hogs lard and
er poetry, pigs and sentiment, fried
o bacon and asthetics,-great must
h he be who can unite these three,
yand this the Americans have done,
e and done with a perfection which
ii. entitles them to the highest credit.
at Distin & Sons exhibit saws and
es tools,- a very simple announcement
is indeed ; and yet every article is as
Lh bright and as beautiful as if it
a were made for exhibition in a lady's
to boudolir; wrenches, punches, ham
re mers and saws rivalling the ice
re brooks temper. It used to be the
se test of the famed blades of Toledo
r that yon could bend them till the
.t point touched the hilt. I think,
so from what I have seen, that you
of could tie one of Distin's saws into
T- a bow knot and afterwards draw
3d mathematical lines with it of a
if thousand to the inch.
ut Madame Demorest is here with a
o, case of paper fashions, and if she
Ly would only teach our wives and
3 daughters to dress in the material
2 with which she decorates her mod
d, els, she would lay the people of the
- United States and Europe under a
lasting obligation. I Ishould like to
see my wife trotting off with a
at brown paper underskirt and a fools
cap Dolly Varden, but I suppose
wve must wait with patience for b
hat happy period till the lion shall a]
earn to lay down with the la'Mb. a]
Nathan & Dreyfus exhibit steam s(
,auges and qteam whistles very G
)eautiful and very useful no doubt. ti
have no particular antipathy to 01
iteam gauges ; in fact, I have al- ai
vays said if I was going to be a
)lown up I should like, if possible, gi
o have a few minutes'notice of the tI
ircamstance, but the steam whistle
look upon in the light of a personal al
6nd a public enemy, and time and bi
gain I have execrated the memory cE
>f the man who perfected that vil- fa
ianous invention. The frights it di
Las given me, and the nights' rest it tt
ias destroyed, have left a heavy bal- m
nce on my moral ledger for com- fl<
)eUling me to use language which l
nay po -sibly have endangered my in
alvation. So I must, therefore, be ii
cused if I do not share in the ci
reneral hallucination which looks s
tpon execrable invention in the ci
ight., of a public benefactor. If si
ompelled, however, to carry a di
team whistle in my vest pocket, I fi
nust admit that I should prefer oi
he whistles of Nathan & Dreyfus is
;o any I have ever seen. ti
The Auburn Manufacturing Co., oi
f Auburn, New York, have an as al
ortment of agricultural tools, not
)nly very useful but very beautiful. it
Che farmer who recollects the hay- g
ork of forty or fifty years ago I
veighing something less than a h
lundred, would be delighted with d
he elegant playthings made -by k
he Auburn Manufacturing Co., el
ight but strong and handsome,
hey are the most perfect miodels I
iave ever seen of what agricultural
ools should be. The magnificent
)ase exhibited by this firm is the
iame they exhibited in Agricultural
Eall at the Exhibition at Phila- h
lelphia in 1876, and if it were not
hat it lacks the imposing sur- b
-oandings, one might suppose him. e

position of two years ag6.
Connecticut, which may be called r
the Belgium of the United States,
Ls here with a number of inven
bions. I am not aware that thed
nodern Yankee is a particularly
beligrent animal, and yet there are
some of these New England cases
which seem to bristle with fight.
rhe Gatlizig Gun Co., of Hartford,
Eave here a couple of their mur
:erous mitrailleuses, which look as
if they could mow down a whole
battalion. A gentlemanly looking
person is there to show you how
they shoot and he looks as though
be would blow the top of your
ead off with the greatest of pleas
are and without any extra charge.
One of the guns is a very elaborate,
md.speaking from a military stand-g
point, a very handsome piece,
hough I never look at these grim
Gatlings, but I think of heads and
legs and arms flying in the air as I
thick as snowflakes in a storm.a
They certainly are remarkable guns',
and they look as if it might do one
good to be peppered by one of
them. As far as I am concerned, I
trust, I may be able to hold that
pleasure in reserve till George Fran
is Train is elected Dictator over
the American Union. Who would
hve imagined, a few years ago,
that Yankee doodledom would have
invented a process for boiling the
meat of Europe's hungry millions,r
and yet it is so. The Wilson
Packing Co.; of Chicago, have here
an exhibition of boiled tongues,
hams and corned beef, which is pro
nounced by judges (and I am one
of them) equal to the very best
they have ever eaten. The extent
of the trade in cooked meats by the
Wilson Packing Co., is one of the
most astonishing of modern enter
prises. You see it sold in all the
little back towns of Germany and
France. Scarcely a shop where gro- a
ceries and eatables are sold but has
it in its windows. At Pesth, in Hun
gary, you can find it in all the Bier
Halles ; through Russia, Norway t
and Finland, it is as well known as
Caviere or Schweitzer kaese. All
the restaurants of Paris serve it,
and it is as common in Berlin and i
Vienna as it is in Milwaukee or
Chicago. Knowing the prejudice
entertained against such things
throughout Great Britain generally, 'j
I was considerably astonished to
find it all over London, and de
iget fnaan of their corned s
lef in the lunch which was sent
ter me up the lakes of Killarney,
id which I enjoyed with a jolly
t of companions not far from the
ap of Dunloe. So impressed with
te excellence of this exhibit was
ir French cousins, that .they have
varded to the Wilson Packing Co.,
gold: modal, the very highest
ven in the department to which
ey belong.

OILING THE HINGES.
The old man was oiling the
inges of the stove door,'and care
issly . singing one of Beethoven's
est, when a middle-aged woman
ntered the station and began :
"Mr. Joy, are you a good man?"
"Wall, tolerable-tolerable," he
Aplied. "I never dropped a bad
ickel into the street car box, and
never have been fishing on Sun
ay."
"Mr. Joy, I am canvassing for
ioney to buy Bibles, and so forth,
>r the African heathen," she con
nued, as she exhibited a pass
ook.
"Are, eh! Does he seem to
raut a Bible ?"
"He does. He sits on the sands
C his native shore, arnd looks

"Does, ehi? Sitting right there
bis morning, I suppose?"
"He is. How much do you sub
:ribe, Mr. Joy ?"
"Madam, I've got to lift a mort
age before noon to-day, and-"
"You will -certainly give some
bing ?" she interrupted.
"And I've got to meet fire and
fe insuirance, new rents, taxes,
nd-"
"Put down what your noble
cart dictates," she said, as she
anded him the book.
He reflected for a couple of
ioments, and then asked :
"W ill five dollars convert a
eathen-a great big, two-fisted
eathen, with a stiff knee ?"
"1-1 think so."
.He figured with a pencil on the
ottom of a chair,.and said:
"Five dollars into two hundred

ents, and none to carry. Di

othing, and, madam, you take
iis quarter and convert ten
ound of heathen for me. That's
11 I can spare-no use talking
en pounds, ten pounds-here

She went away .puzzled and
mazed at his figures, and Bijahi
yoked after her and mused :
"I ought to have taken a mort
age on my share of that heathen,
