????????THE
HARVEST MOOR.
Faded the last faint blush of evening's roe* |
And shadows gather in the sleeping vale.
Where silent now, the rippling streamlet
flows
Beneath the mist, that, rising dim and
pale.
Hovers over it like a silver veil,
Hidiug the tears upon the cloeed-up flowers,
That seem to weep Jtor the day's vanished
Across the hee^en a mallow radiance steals,
The mist grows brighter, and the silver
stream
Reflects the tender Hght which half reveals
Earth's loveliness, and, like an infant's
xlream.
Makes all things beautiful and holy seem;
The harvest moon along the autumn sky
Holds her fair sway and bids the darkness
fly.
O'er fallen leaves, o'er hill and vale and
plain.
O'er ripened fruit and fleldsof golden grain;
O'er lover*, lingering in the mystic light,
?> mspennj fon'l words beneath the silent
night;
O'er the great city in its solemn rest.
O'er wealth and poverty, the worst, the
best.
Her luster falls, and through the listening
air
Breathes but of peacs and beauty everywhere.
Serene and pure she mounts the azure
jtStYCP.. ? u ?vw utri ortni mnu J

?All The Year Round.
A HCiVCH OF FLOWERS
BY EMMA A. OPPER.
Ethel Hapgood was pacing the long
conservatory paths, gazing idly through
the steamy windows. An imaginativo
observer might have classed Ethel as a
hot-house flower. She whs slender,
delicately formed; she had thick yellow'
hair, starry blue eye3 and a charming.'
Ihco, whose chief color was tho deep red)
of her hps. ;
Hut Ethel bore great resemblance to
her father's father?a sturdy man, who,'
working with his owu hands, had laidj
the foundations of the present large
family possessions?a man of energy,originality,
fine qualities.
Sometimes Ethel, with all her delicate
beauty, looked oddly like him. She did
_ note. ?? - .
"What would poor mamma think?"
she murmured, guiltily. "She has done
everything for me. Why am I dissatisfied?
What ails me?"
And then sho wont
..??? vr?? ICtniCSJJiy 10 I
answer the question.
"I'm worn out?that is all. I've i
danced all winter, and gone to concerts \
and the opera and the theatre, and
bowled with two clubs, and? What j
is the use in going over it? I've done 1
everything! I've been so popular that
mamma lias been perfectly happy. I've
had so many favors at every Herman
that I got to be a proverb. And Allen
Lifford proposed, and mamma was
grieved that I didn't take him. And '
Mr. Dinsmore?I shouldn't dare tell
mamina how I discouraged him?him and
his money. She'd be horrified. Oh, I '
shall never see a man! I should know '
one if I saw one, I'm not nfraid of that. !
He might be a gentleman, too; he might 1
be of a fashionable ser; ne niigm to
rich. Those things don't make a man.
But if he was manly?if he had spirit
and ambition and brightness, and wasn't
contented doing absolutely nothing, and '
didn't think hia clothes wero a/I-impor- 8
lant, and never drawled and never bored "
?how I could like him! I shall never,"
taid Ethel, with solemn emphasis, "never
ice him. Well, nnd here we are at West n
Bedford for the summer. To 'rest,' tl
mamma says. And how I could rest if it
wasn't West Bedford! I'd take the dogs w
and tramp in the woods and hills all day. n
But it's a 'resort,' and the Stanley's are li
here, and the. Earacses, and mnmma ia I h
planning little teas and dances in this I 1
great country place we've hired, and I t
there's a picnic next week, and a dance f
at the tinest hotel to-night, and mamma,
and I must go. And I shan't get a min- i
ute's rest before next seasou sets in. And
I shall fc ^et all theso funny notions, a
and do as iitt the other gtrtw m? ?
without a qualm?dance some more and i
f.irt tome more, nnd marry the best catch
that otters. Mr. Dinnmorc, perhaps."
Ethel laughed, snatched a white pink,
tossed her pretty head, and strolled to- 1
ward the door, looking rather less tike
her grandfather. 1
She was not the girl the world took i
her to be?but nobody would ever know
she was not. What could she do? Noth- '
,n /. ' an/1 I...nation* 1 ? ? >
...rt . n./| in.. mi ?ii i-ii'uriiiun merely i
made hci uncomfortable. Good-bye to 1
it!
Slio almost stepped on the toes of
somebody hastily entering the conservatory,
as she would have parsed out. A
man, and a young man. A perfect
stranger.
"I beg your pardon!" he said, in
breezy, bright tones; "but I found the
proper entrance locked, and I came
around here. The florist?can you tell
me where to find him?"
"Somewhere in the shrubbery," Ethel
almost gsi^pef*.
"Thank you! I'll hunt him up. I
want some flowers, you know said the
young man, briskly.
Ati! Etlicl was quick of perception.
She know the rear door of the conscrva- j
tory. It opened on the road, foi the j\
convenience of the gardener and florist,
whose cottage was just across from it. j,
"Absurd arrangement," Ethel's mother
had observed, driving past. "You ^
might take it for a public hot-house."
And the interloper?the tall, broadshouldered,
bright-faced, agreeable in- r
teiloper?had taken it for precisely that.
.Ethel looked down, looked up, smiled ?
faintly, then looked demurely inscruta- 11
?ic. 11it givi inenus nan always cic- I
clared that she dared, if she chore, do I '
just anything.
"I guess 1 can get thena for you," she v
laid.
Oh!" lie looked pleasantly sur. 8
prised. "You're his daughter?"
Ethel nodded vaguely.
"Well, I'll he awfully obljged to you. ,
Roses and ' pinks, please, and valley j
lilies ?anything. As Pig and nice a j
bunch as you can Hx."
Assuredly her mischievous plot had its j
drawbacks. To be taken for the r
daughter of a country florist! to be or- x
dered about like any serving-maid ! She, i
Ethel llupgood! Yet, why was it so far c
from being disagreeable? Was it that |
this man was so o Idly to her taste, with t
his hardy young strength, his keen ga/.e, c
hit careless, rough country suit?so like ?
' i
t* \
a flesh-and blood orubodiment of her late
wistful imaginings?
' Very well," she said, gently. "Our f
choicest flowers arc beyond the palms \
there."
8he led the way. When a great cactus t
leaf threatened to brush her faco ho <
pushed it aside, and then they smiled at
each other in friendly fashion. s
"I'm not long in these parts," he ven- 1
tured- "We're here for the summer,
my mother and I. We've rented the
Flagg place. You know it?"
Oh, yes, Ethel knew the Flagg place!
Sbo did not; but she was in the spirit of
it now, and enjoying it. 8he felt equal i
to any needed mendacity.
"Right up among the hills," she ob- i
served?every place in West Bedford) '
being right up among the hills.
"Yes. Do you know anything aboutj
t' ^shooting?" asked the young man,
uoxiously. "Is there any?" j
"Any amount," Ethel rejoined, with
enthusiasm.
"Whew, but I'm glad!" he said boyishly.
"What's the country without
shooting, and fishing, and boating, and
all the rest? But then I'm an enthusiast,
it crauK, id ue cauuiu. i in aucucieci to
outdoor doings us no fellow over was."
"It's a healthy taste," Ethel remarked.
He had not appeared, and it piqued
her a little,to be as greatly struck by her
charms as men invariably were; but her

He had taken off his soft cap and was
absently crumpling it, which showed his
dark hair ond tho crinkle in it.
"So it is," he agreed, "aud productive
of healthy conditions. I can outwalk
anybody but professionals, I reckon."
Ho laughed.
"I wish I could," Ethel said, sincerely.
"It's all in getting used to it, you
know," he rejoined. "A little every
day. Can you row?"
"I never learned."
She had wanted to but her mother had
opposed it.
"Oh, but you ought! I contracted
that fever at cjllege; but it has served
me well. I had a great time down on
the river here yesterday. I caught four
eels, four old shoes and a mud-turtle."
They laughed jovially. I
"But I discovered?I vow it?a totally f
new kind of water-weed."
"You and Thoreau should have trav- 1

It did not seeiu to strike him oddly. !
the florist's daughter's having read
Thoreau, but he looked at her with ad- 1
miring, brightened eyes.
There was a blue lacing in his flannel
shirt; his hands were large, strong, *
tanned. 1
Ethel noticed everything with a strange
inward tremor. It was as though her
hero had fallen from the skies.
"Your flowers?" she murmered.
t
"I'd forgotten them!" he vowed, f
laughing. They're for a young lady, so }
luit your own taste, and she'll be suited,
[irobably." c
"Oh!" Ethel said, faintly. j
"Yes: a young lady I've never seen, e
jither. But her brother was a classmate v

"And a few white camellias?" she

"1 ani sure it will be exquisite," ho
answered. ,
What was the matter with her? A .
Torried look came into his handsome ,
?yes, but she was not noticing. I
"You mustn't think," he said pre- |
lently, "that I am a worthless, idle fellow, j
'adding about for my aimless amuse- |
nent. I fear you do. I'm in business t
?stock brokerage?but my mother has
nsisted on my taking a year off because ]
[ had?I believe, really, it wasn't much ,

Ethel smiled a little. That last state- ,

ihred of proof she had required to con- (
Irm her growing certainty that he was j
?oh, he wa9?a man?an ideal inani

The Herkimer House parlors were well
illod that evening, and the gathering
v.us sclcjand brilliant.
Ethel and her mother came late, but
hat only added lustre to their triumphal
intr^oce.
Mrs. liapgood was entirely usod to
luch happenings a* tho39 which followed.
Mrs. Eimes introduced three
young men, Mis. Stanley produced four;
they were unwillingly forced to produce
others.
Ethel was the centro of an eager
throng?easily the bright star of the assemblage.
She looked uncommonly
lovely in white and lavender, with a
great bunch of flowers?roses, piuks,
camellias.
But her eyos had a searching, preoccupied
look, which her partners, observing
it, were not greatly flattered by.
She had dancod the tkir I quadrille,
and was standing listlessly at her mother's
side, fastening a !oo36 ribboo, when
Mrs. Stanlev caine again. beaming.
"Mr. Sutherland wants 10 meet you,"
she said?"'Tiss Hapgood."
Ethel gravely introduced him to her
mother. But her mother was talking to
Colonel Eames, and Mr. Sutherland
offered his arm, and they strolled awai
^"Is'your next dance taken?" he saidi
dinidlv.
'Yes," she answered.
But she never danced it. They went
ilowly down_the jog^JdaU^nd sat down
?n<^ bfc *1$^
rerj bright. ] *
"I received the flowers," she said,"and1
I'm very grteful. Frank has spoken of]
[ on so many times, Mr. Sutherland, that
I am glad to know you."
He returned her look with his wonted j
steadiness.
Was he handsomer in evening dress?
She didn't know.
"You played me an awfully mean
rick," he vowed. "It was my fault, of
course. But I tell you I was scared, Miss
Uapgood, when I caught sight of you
ind the flowers twenty minutes ago. I
saw it all then. How I'd blurted into a
irivate grceu house?yours?like an awkvnnl
great booby, and ordered a bouquet
if you, and?oh, I trembled ! I assure
. ou I shook. I've been all this timegeting
up courage to come to you. I was
lfraid you'd cut me dead."
"Why?" said Ethel, cheerfully. "We
!iad rather a pleasant time, didn't we?
What could I do? You took me so by
simplest course. An<3 It turned out so
neatly. I thought I was arruugiug them
ror some ungrateful young woraau who
vould never appreciate it, but?there's
he greatest poetical justice, Mr. Sutherand,
in ray being your schoolmate's
Ister. I think I performed an impromptu
waltz when those flowers came."
"You have brought relief to my
roubled soul," he said, seriously and
iOftly.
To Mrs. Stanley, who had introduced
hem, Ethel's mother made a long conidence,
a few months later. She was
n serene good spirits.
"It was one of those aflairs," she
leclarcd, "that seem foreordained and

Buried Avon County,

A cablegram from London, say*: ^
Every person in England, Scotland, Ireland
and Wales who has any connection p
with or interest in politics is discussing
the three great political events of the t
day. They are the death of Charles ^
Stewart Parnell; the demise of the consei
viitive leader in the hottse of Com- ^
mons, Right Hon. William Henry Smith,
and the great teat of strength now fairly !
commenced at Mauclicstpr, between Lib- ..
ernl nnd Conaervative parties in the election
of a member; ot Parliament for ^
Northeast Manchester, vacancy having
been mnitp in that, tioiie of T.ibemliRm hv "
the appointment of me present member,
Rt. Hon."Sir James Ferguson, as Postmaster
General. I
The most imperials, however, of these- ?
three all absorbing jolitical questions is
the sudden death at h'alsingham Terrace,
Brighton, on TuesrUy night, of the great
lush leader, -Chides Stewart Parnell.
Newspapers of British Isles are full
of persona)^iudf^?nses of the "Irish
if--?Mail Vavrns him...
and contiriul^^B^nnterTte'ws in regard
to the future ^visibilities of the Irish 1
party, in which ill differences will now {
lie healed. t
The doctor's certificate, which his just i
been filed, states that Parnell's death c
was caused by rheumatic fever, resulting e
in excessive temperature and failure of t
heort. ' f
A committee of Irish "members of Par c
iiament took charge of the funeral which v
was held at the cemetery in Glssnevan vii- d
lage, about three and a half miles north of q
Dublin, on Sunday. The body was con- a
veyed to London Saturday, arriving there c
in time to catch the Irish night mail
train, arriving in Dublin on Sunday f
morning, and there taken in state to the .
city hall, and from there the funeral pro- ?
reeded. ,
Resolutions of regret at the death of
Mr. Parnell were passed at Dublin, and ?
the lofd mayor and members of the cor- *
porations attended the funeral in their '
robes of state. c
Most of Ithe stores throughout the lead- f
for the memory of the dead leader.
Mrs. Parnell is still prostrated with
grief, aud though weak and prostrated
from long watching and the terrible j
s':ock experienced, she positively refuses p
to partake of any food or refreshments, l
ana will see odIv her daughter. ' ^
THERE WILL "BE NO TRUST,

Conclusion That it Was G

peared, which wss grown from green
seed, and was entirely distinct from sea r<
island, hutj^hich, nevertheless, had a Q1
staple of frt>ni one to one and a half
inches. The opinion was expressed that
in a few years the variety would formidab'y
compete with sea island. This ends C(
the attempt to form a combination against c<
the sde of sea island cotton seed, which Vi
is purchased here by long-staple cotton d
growers of Georgia and Florida for plant- x
ing purposes. C(
To Form a Cigar Trust. ^
New Yobk.? Representatives of large
cigar making firms in this and other
cities met to form a trust. It will probably
be capitalized at $25,000,000. The
meeting is secret, but it is learned that cl
the combination will put up the price of ?
cigars and at the same time reduce the

"A Chip Off the Old Block."
Gen. "Kooney" Lee, who is very ill at J
Alexandria, Vn., has had a career that
would be accounted highly creditable to
a man who was not the son of a famous ni

A rermtueti Climate.
The little seaside town of Hyeros, near
Toulon, France, is fast becoming one of
^^nngtpopular health resorts of the
MM8lVW?alt?rntueaD. The'vicinUy of
he Hyeres archipelago, with their seastiffs
and sbell-banKS, and the prospect
oward the cloud castles of the Maritime
lips attract hundreds of visitors, hut tho
ibiof charm of the locality consists in tho
iztensive flower-plantations that surround
he old burgh with a zone of beauty and
ragnance. Thousands of acres are covred
with jessamine bushes, thousands
rith girasoles ("heliotrope") and roses,
lestincd for the essence factories of
Poulon, but in the meantime, tilling the
tmosphcre with a perfume plainly pereptible

t counteracts the bilgewater oder of tho

Ail Oddity In Painting.
The provincial eities of F ranee are just
now being entertained by a remarkable
artist, one who displays wonderful skill
in her own peculiar style of painting. 1
With plates of various colored sand
before her, she takes thp sand in her
right band and causes it to fall in beautiful
designs upon a table. A bunch of
grapes is deftly pictured with violet sand,
a leaf with green sand and relief and
shadows with sand of the colore to suit.
When this has been'admired by those
artistically inclined, it is brushed away
ana is soon replaced oy a bouquet ot roses
or some other object, all done with grealf
dexterity and delicacy. Even the finest
lines sre drawn with streams of Band, alt
rs distinct as though mado with an
artist's brush.
According to the most recent census
returns London has a population of 4,600,000,
Pans of 2,450,000, Berlin of
1,674,485 and St. Petersburg of 1,000,000.

"August
Flower"
I liad been troubled five months
with Dyspepsia. The doctors told
me it was chronic. I had a fullness
after eating and a heavy load in the
pit of my stomach. I suffered frequently
from a Water Brasli of clear
matter. Sometimes a deathly Sickness
at the Stomach would overtake
me. Then again I would have the
terrible pains of Wind Colic. At
such times I would try to belch and
could not. I was working then for
Thomas McHenry, Druggist, Cor.
Irwin and Western Ave., Allegheny
city, Pn., it^wUoy.e employ I had
been for seven years. Finally I used
August Flower, and after using just
one bottle for two weeks, was entirely
relieved of all the trouble. I
can now eat things I dared not touch
before. I would like to refer you to

It goes back
? all the money you've spent for
it?if there's neither benefit nor
cure. That's what ought to be said
of evert/ medicine. It would be?
if the medicine were good enough.
But it is said of only one medicine
of it.a Icinrl?? Dr. Piprnft'd Golden
Medical Discovery. It's the guaranteed
blood-purifier. Not only in.
March, April and May, when the
sarsaparillas claim to do good, but
in every season and in every ease
it cures all diseases arising from a
torpid liver or from impure blood.
For all Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp
Diseases, Dyspepsia, Indigestion
and Biliousness, it is a positive
remedy.
Nothing else is as cheap, no matter
how many hundred doses are
offered for a dollar.
With this, yon pay only for the
good you get.
And nothing else is " just as
good."
It may bo " better" ? for the
dealer ; but yon arc the one that's
to be helped. _____ |
