GOLDEN DAYS. BY GEORG- COOPER. Boyhood's merry laugh and shout; Eyes within nor eare nor doubt Drives the b!ts!sd nusiine out Smiles of pure<t rays; Brow of honesty and truth; Eager hands, and heart of ruth ; Oh, the honeyed1 reiga of Yout' Blissful, goldea days! Dream-; of night and fairy lore; Fancy's nevcr-euding store; Hopes ia; never shine before Stars otjew,:led ra s! Ob, how soon they wander by, Meteors over Childhol's sky! Grasp and live Then ere they fly Blissful, golden days! I N N TTTI"S. .-0 'SheC ha.1 got a facle like one of' her own r%sebuds,' said Mr. Fitz alan. 'I've heard of. her more than once,' returned Frank Calverly. ''The pret ty flower gi,' th& peo. pie call her, don't, tiy ? Old Frixham has doublud his custom since she came there.' 'And the best of it all,' added Fitzalan, with a laugh. ;is that she is quite unconscious of her own atTraction--a littie country lassie, who thinks only of her own business, and never dreams that she herself is the sweetest flow er of all the assortment.' 'Let's go in and buy a Marechal Niel bud and two or three sweet verbena leaves,' said Calverly. 'I shou!d like to see this. modern Flora of yours.' Dorothy Penfield stood behind the counter of the florist's store, sorting over a pile of fragrant blossoms which lay on a tray of damp, green moss. Trails of smilax wove their green garlands up to the ceiling; heaps of gold and rose-petaled buds lay in the window; tufts of purple heliotrope perfumed the air, and white car nations lay like hillocks of snow against the panes of the show window, while spikes of perfumed hyacinths and cape-jessamine flung their subtle scents upon the air. And Dolly herself, with her round, dimpled face, pink cheeks, and soft, brown eyes, exactly the shade of the rippled hair, which was brushed simply back from the broad, low brow, was a fitting accessory to the scene. She looked up as the two gen tlcmcn entered, and a soft, crim son shadow overspread her face for a second. 'Have you got one of my fav orite buttou-hole bouquets made up, Miss Penfield ?' Fi tzalan asked, with a careless bow and smile. '1 know,' said Doily, softly. 'A rosebud and a sprig of heath, and two or three myrtle leaves; that is what you like. No; I have none made up, just at pre sent; but I can tie one up in about half a minute, Mr. Fitz alan.' 'One for me, too, if~ yomu please,' said Calverly, touching his_bat. 'ynst thie same ?' Dolly lifteu ber long eyelashes, which were like fringen of brown, silk, and gave him a shy glance. 'A little different. please. Con suit your own tastLe, Miss Pen field.' 'I like the double blue violets,' said Dolly, gently, 'with geranium leaves.' 'Then they shall be my faivo. rite flowers aiso' said Calverly, Thegentlenmen had hardiy taken their leave, when old Prixham, the florist, bustled in, with round red face, shining bald bead, and an air of ousiness all over him. 'Isn't it time yon had the the ater bouquets ready ?' said he looking critically around, and mnoving a glass of freshly cut cal las out of the level sunset beam! which at that moment fell like sheen of golden la'ses, athwart the deep bow window. 'I shall have them ready di rectly,' said Dolly, starting fron her reverie. 'the flowers are a sorted out.' 'We 'nave too many rnationn on band,' said the florist fretfully; 'and those gaudy cape bells are bv so much dead loss. Let the man pi from the greenhouses know, please, le there's a demand for half open J rosebuds and forced lilies-of-the hf valley.' se 'Yes,' said Dolly, dreamily, 'I of wiii tell him-when he comes.' 0 The closed country wagon, with in its freight of fragrant leaves and deliciously scented flowers,.came re early in-the morning, long before sh the fat florist was out of bed, and th while the silence almost of an en- gi chanted land lay upon Upper' Broadway. SC But Dolly Penfield was there freshening up the stock of the Wi day before with wet moss and cool h water, and clipping the stems of or the rosebuds. bL 'eo more carnations, John,' she tb said briekly, 'nor amaryllis flow- or ers, and we want plenty of can- T ellias and geraniums, and those gr bright flowers.' dr 'I thought, perhaps,' said bon- fe est John Deadwood, who Meas- ar ured six feet in his stockings, and re had the face of an amiable giant, at 'you might want to go back with tb me to-day, Dolly. Your aunt has ta come on from Kansas, and there is ul going to be a dance out in the old h4 barn, with plenty of candles and evergreen boughs. And mother or said she would be proud to we!- of conic you to the old farm house,- st Dolly. - Your oleander treeis kept carefully at the south window, b, and-' gi 'Dear me.!' carelessly interrupt- p, ed Dolly; 'why don't they put it bi in the greenhouse?' 'Because, Dolly,' said the young in man, reddening, 'it reminds us of c you. And the meadow lark in di the cage sings beautifully; and old red brindle has a spotted calf.' g 'Has she?' questioned Dolly in- ai differently. al John Deadwood looked hard at Li her. yI 'Dolly,' said he, 'you don't care p, about the old home any longer!' 'Yes, I do,' said Dolly, rousing b herself, 'but- ' She paused suddenly, the rosy color rushed in a carmine tide to I her cheek, an involuntary smile lA dimpling thecorners of her fresh h lips as she glanced through the smilax trails in the window. 'I John Deadwood, following in n the diretion of her eyes. glanced, c too, just in time to see a tall gen- 1 tleman lift his hat and bow as he went jauntily past. 1< 'Is that it,' said John, bitterly. 'Is what ?' petulantly retorted a Dolly. 'I'm sure I don't know I why we are standing here wait- c ingr for and I with twenty-eight bouquets to make up by 2 o'clock. r Tiat's all, John, 1 think. Don't 1 forget the lilies of the valley.' a 'But you haven't answered me, si Dolly.' 'Answered you whbat ?' n ~About the: dance in the.old ni barn, and coming back with me c when the wagon returns at 5 'y o'clock.' t 'It is quite out of the question,' I< said Dolly, listlessly. t 'Doily !' 'Well.' s -You promised me years ago-' s '.Nonsense,' said Dolly, flinging the azaleas and pinks around in 1: fragrant confusion. 'I was only a t child then.' . ' 'But you've no right to go backi on your word, Dolly, child or no child.' d 'I never promised, John.' 'But you let me believe tbat one day you would be my wife. And t I've lived on the thought of it,c Dolly, ever since. And if this city situation of yours shouldt break up my life's hope-' 'Don't hope anything about me, John !' brusquely interrupted the girl. 'Here comes a customer. Please, John, don't stand there I any longer~ looking like a ghost I' I And honest, heart-broken Jobn turned and went with heavy heart out. to where the wagon stood and old Roan was waiting with down-droopiny head and half-closed eyes. 'It does seem to me,' he mut tered between his teeth, 'that there is nothing left to live for any longer.' Dolly looked half remorsefully nfalr- him. 'I've almost a mind to call him .ck,' said she to herself as she eked out a bunch of white vio Ls for the newcomer. I do like hn Deadwood ; but I think he s no business to consider him If engaged to me,just because that bov-and.girl nonsense. ie's ideas change as one gets on life.' And Dolly's check was like the flection of the pink azaleas as e thought of Mr. Fitzalan and e turquoise ring that he had ven her as a troth plight. And Mr. Frixham came in pre. ntly. I've a note from the Sedge eks, on Fifth Avenue,' said hurriedly. They always der their flowers from Servoss, it Servoss has disappointed em. They want the house dec ated for aparty to-night-there's it a minute to lose. I've tele aphed to Bolton's for one hun ed yards of smilax and running rn and one hundred poinsettas; d I think we can manage the st ourselves. 'You had better go once, Miss Penfield, and plan e decorations-you've a pretty ste of your own-and I'll send > the flowers with Hodges to >Ip you.' And Dolly went, her mind*still i the turquoise ring, with a band virgin gold and its radiant blue Dne. The Sedgewick mansion was a ,own stone palace, with plate ass casements, and a vestibule ived with black and orange mar e. Mrs. Sedgewick, a stately lady, a Watteau wrapper and blonde 6p, received Dolly in the great 'awing room. 'Oh ' said she, lifting her eye asses, 'you're from the florist's, -e you? Well, I know notbi'ng )out these things-I only want ie rooms to look elegant. Tell )ur husband. to spare no ex ,nse.' 'Mr. Frixbam is not my bus ind,' said Dolly. 'Your father, then.' 'But be isn't my father,' insisted olly, half laughing. 'He's no re ,tion at all. I will tell him, owever.' 'Exactly,' said Mrs. Sedgewick. particularly desire plenty of -bite roses, as 1 am told they are astomary at this sort of affair. san engagement party.' 'Indeed !' said Dolly, trying to >ok interested. 'Between my daughter Clara od Mr. Alfred Fitzalan,' said [rs. Sedgewick, with conscious amplacency. Dolly said nothing, but the oom, with its fluted cornices and )fty ceilings, seemed to swim ro'und her like the w aves of the aa. And as she went out, with [rs. Sedgewick still chatting bout white rose-buds and bego ia-leaves, she passed the hall pen door of a room, all hung rithi blue velvet, where a yellow ressed beauty sat smiling on n >w divan, with Fitzalan bending enderly above her. 'He has only been amusing him elf with me,' said Dolly to her elf. There was a sharp ache at her eart; but after all, it was only he sting of wounded pride 'hank iheaven-ob, thank heaven t. was nothing worse thani that Honest John Deadwood wa riving old Roan steadily and sol mnly along past the patch a: roods, where the velvet-mnossed owlders lay like dormant beast f prey in the spring twiligb vhen a gray shadow glided out o he other shadows and stood a tis side. 'John !' she whispered. 'Dolly ! it's never you ?' 'Yes, John,' said the girl, gen t >uG, steadily. 'I'm going bad iome with you.' -God bless you, Dolly,' said th roung man, fervently. 'For good and all, John, if you'] ake me,' said Dolly, slowly. 'I'v 2ad quite enough of city life ; an ['Il help you with the gree: iouses, and I'll try and be a goo ittle housekeeper at home. 'Shal [ John ?' John put his arm around he nd hngged her up to his side. 'Darling!' said he, huskily, 'it's most too good news to be true; but, if my word is worth any thing, you shall never regret your decision of this day.' So the pretty fio Ner girl van ished out of tbe bower of smilax and rosebuds. The Sedgewick mansion wasn't decorated at all and Mr. Frixham had lost his new customer. And the turquoise ring came back -to Mr. Fitzala in a blank envelope. HOPE FOR THE DRUNKARD. If inebriety is curable, as the Boston Traveler asserts that it is, by the following method, then is there hope fo the victim of this base passion-drink. Thatl journal makes the following asser tion: "An intemperate person can easily supply himself with the remedies used at all the inebriate asylums, and be his own physi cian, at his own home, without the necessary expense and public ity of visiting the Washingtouian Home or any other public institu. tion. His laboratory need only contain a small quantity of cay enne pepper, a pft of concentra ted extract of beef, and a "few grains of bromide of pottassium. When the desire for alcoholic drink recurq make a tea from. the cayenne pepper as strong as car. be t%ken with any degree of com fort; sweeten it with milk and sugar and drink. This tea will supply the place that a glass of liquor would fill and leave no in jurious effect behind. Repeated daily as often as the appetite re turns, it will be but a few days before the sufferer will have be come disgusted with the taste of the pepper, and with the appear ance of this disgust disappears the love of liquor. "The fact is proved every day. The extract of beef is to be made into beef tea, according to the di rection on the pot, in such quan tities as may be needed for the time being, and furnishes a cheap, easily digested, and healthy nu triment-it being made to stay on the stomach when heavier articles of food would be rejected. The bromide of potassium is to be used carefully, and only in ease of ex treme nervousness..the dose being from fifteen to twenty grains, dis solved in water. This is a public exhibit of the method of treatment adopted at the inebriate asylums. In addition thereto the drinking man shouild surround himself with influences whidh tend to make him forget the degrading asso ciations of the bar-room and lift him upward. IIe should endeavor, so far .as his business avocations will permit, to sleep, bathe, and eat regularly, and obey the laws of health. By the adoption of this course energetically and sin cerely, no man who has the will to reform can fail to do so. Hun dreds and thousands can att.est the truth of' these statements. A WONDERFUL BLIND MAN.-A very remarkable blind man.named John Metcalf, a native of Man chester, was living at the begin? Ding of this century; and, strange to say, bis occupation was no other than that of a guide, his living being gaiued by his con .ducting strangers through intri cate routes during the night or when the roads were covered with snow. Stranger still, how ever, was the calling which he subsequently followed, and this we are toldi was that of a 'projec tor and surveyor of highways in difficult and mountainous parts.' With the aid solely of a staff which he carried, he was often to be seen traversing roads, mount ing hills, and exploring valleys. It was under the direction of Met calf that many of the roads over Ithe Peak, in Derbyshire, were al 3 wi-ed; and he also designed a.d superintended the construction of 2 a new road in the same neigh Sborhood, formed with a view to I open a communication with the great London road without the r necessity cf passing over the mountains. A NAN MAD AT MS WIPE. Peck tells the following in the r M1ilwaukee Sun: : 'There is a man up in the t seventh- ward that hasn't spoken I to his wife for over a week. He' is so mad ihat be will not' go s home to his meals, and ihe-01her t day his wife went to the office to c get six.. dojlara,, p4y, for some s shoes, and be told a clerk to pay a ber off and let he'r go. He!grates his teeth when he goes home of A nights, and comes out of the house o very1 morning swearirg. Sh4e s came a joke on him, that was all t He bad beea telling her tha.he had the heart disease, and -tbat he I hould -gor off suddenly some time n the night. She had got sick of' uch talk after hearing it thirteen s rears, when she knew he was as bealhy as a yearling. Why, he lidn't even knowr wihere his heart t was, and 'ouldn't point out the location o, any particular portion t of bis internal improvemen.t& But I he kept talking about death-every f little wbhile, and she said she would break up that game as soon as she could think of any way to do.so. A spell ago she bought.:one of these India rubber water bags for keeping hot 'water at the feet in stead of, using bottles. 11 would hold about three quarts, and her' husband didn't know anything' about it. One night aftershe-'had the water bag to her feet a couple of' bours, until they wre aboutascold as a pieee of zinc, and her husband was snoring away by note, she thought what a good joke it would be to put it on his stomach and wake him up. She burst, right out laughing, at midnight, think ing of it. So she took up the, rubber bag of hot water dnd-placed it on his stomach. The bag was about as big as a cow's liver an as warm as a shingle on a boy. It had not been :on his stomach more than two minutes when he, slowly opened his eyes. She stuffed the upper works of her gown into her mouth to keep from laugbing. He raised up his head and said : 'Harriet, my end has. come.' 'Which end, Jotiah ?' said she, as she rolled over, 'your head or your feet?'and. then she put a pillow in her mouth, and reached over and unscrewed the nozzle that holds the water in the bag. '1 am dying, Egypt, dy ing,' said he, 'My heart is en larged three times its natural sizes Oh, I am bleeding to death.' She had opened the nozzle, and three quarts of hot water was pouring &ver him, saturating him: from head to heels. She had not meant to let out more than half apint of water on him, but when it got to flowing sbe could not stop it, so so she got out of bed and told him to save himself.~ He attempted to stop the flow of blood, and struck a light and asked her if his life preserver had not sprunJg a leak, and then he looked at the rubber bag and went out and run himself through a clothes wri-n ger, and he slept on the lounge the rest of the night, and be says his wife is the meanest woman that ever drawed the breath of life. She tells her friends that Josiah-bas been miraculously cured of the heairt disease.' Professor Bene'ke, of Marburg, Germany, after measuring. 970 hu man hearts, says that the growth of that organ is greatest in the first an'd second years of life. At the end of the second year it is doubled in size, and during the. next five years it is again doubled. Then the growth is much slower. though from the fifteenth to the twientieth year its size increases two-thirds. A very slight growth is then observed up to fifty, when it gradually diminishes. Except in childhood, men's hearts are de cidedly larger than hose of wo men. Two men at Peoria, Ill., t:.d their horses' tails together and started them in opposite directions to settle a.bet as to the strength of the brutes. But a quarrel arose before the trial took place, and the angry owners agreed to' pull each other's noses instead. Both lost, for they were fined $10 each in a police court.
