LOVE UNEXPRESSED.
The sweetest notes among the human heartstrings
Are dull with rust;
The sweetest chords, adjusted by the angels.
Are clogged with dmt.
We pipe and pipe again our dreary music
Upon the self same strains.
While sounds of crime and fear and desolation.
Come back in sad refrains.
On through the world we go, an army
marching
With listening ear*.
Each longing, sighing for the heavenly
music
He never hears:
Each longing, sighing for a word of comfort.
A word of tender praise,
A word of love, to cheer the endless journey
Of earth's liarJ, busy days.
They love u--, ami we know it; this suffices
For reason's share.

' '(j (f \y^> Reared relic of the
ycat IS 10?so unlike a modern house
that people gaze at it curiously as they
pass along the fashionable thoroughfare
upon which it fronts. A mausioa of gray
snn?lstonc il stands in the midst of extensive
grounds, shaded by noble oaks,
elms, pines and sycamores. 6uch elms
there are in various portions of New
England; such pines over Fenitnore
Cooper's grave at Otsego Lake; such
uuns uu si i;i<j;;iru nr in iiiu uiiiu-?r?i>s
region of Kentucky; such sycamores
along tl'c Ohio or the Wabash; hut there
urc few places where ouo tinds them
grouped together. They give the place
nu nir of seclusion such as brooded over
Kenilworth. Close inspection is required
to determine that the house is built of
stone. Vines cover it from foundation
to roof, half concealing doors and windows,
and massing up under the caves in
grwtr swrVrt or" veadurc. There arc ivy,
Virginia creepers and trumpet vine?, aud
1 would gladly have more were there
space for tiicin to grow.
It is just such a home as a retiring old
bachelor like myself loves.
I need scarcely describe the interior.
I cail it comfortable; tidy housekeepers
(Heaven defend me from theui!) would
call it slovenly. My aged housekeeper
is not ambitious. She tries to please me,
ami does so; but she is not tidy. My
occasional visitors assure me that the
roouis are not well aired, that there is a
musty odor in the parlor, that the libiary
is quite damp. I confess that such
re narks amuse me. The dampness and
inutilities* have never beea apparent to
inv, aud my housekeeper has never mentioned
the subject. I therefore conclude
that the trouble lies chiefly in the fancy
of certain prying anil officious women,
who have not enough at home to keep
them busy.

which swings back on a hinge. Vines half

thought me some gigantic species of bird
?a gigantic cousin he had not seeu
before.
I olteu peer shyly at the outside world
through this little window, standing on
my feet the while, as the opening is
hiijher above the door tlmn

The attic i'. partly !i rhts is seldom used.
Old furniture, boxes, pictures, papers
::r.d violins take up most of the space;
cobwebs and soot arc omnipresent. There
are dark angles and corners into which
nobody but myself ever peers. 1 love
the quiet of the place, and its utter Jack
of order. Sometimes I take up one o!
my old violins and discourse a half-forcotton
air in so low a key that eyon the
spiders are not disturbed.
A recent warm evening in July found
i o in the attic. A breath of sultry air
came through the vine chocked window;
the leaves oti my old trees were motionless.
Many pe >plc were moving on the
drcet, brought out of their homes in the
hope of finding cooler air. One young
I idy I singled out walking alone, a tall,
stately women, who face, while dimly
een at quite a distance, I could imagine
to be handsome. I grew retrospective
as I watched her. I am not given
to sentimentality?indeed, I knov
women too well to love them;
but it canuot Ire denied that it is very
natural for n man to /et them bambonzic
him. I am well aware that tho word
bamboozle is not elegant; but no other
word will convey iny idea. Women arc
natural receivers; what use have they
;<>r sincerity? How well they know tko
power of it handsome figure, a bright
ye, or pretty teeth I With what adriirable
art do they add to and improve
upon natural attractions 1 The sweet
smile of a girl in her teens is hard to
resist, I grant you; it overturns reason
and philosophy as the great wheel of tho
wind mill overthrew Don Quixote; but
if this self eamo sweet smile fails to captivate
you, it is not soon turned upon an-,
other? Faugh I I get out of patience:
Women wind men round their fingers.
Women of tact?polite women?rule the
world. If one could find a really sincere
woman?rather pretty, too?what a
satisfaction it would bo to marry her I
But where in the wide world is one to
look for such?
While gazing intently out of the window
with an intorost beyond the ordinary?shall
I confess it??in the fair pedestrian,
I thought I saw a man moving
among the shrubbery near my gate, but
on closer inspection concluded that i had
been deceived. I watched the stately
lady out of sight, laughing at my own
folly tho while, and was about to turn
my attention to the old attic when I folt
something touch me. Tho touch was at
first so faint that I thought it might bo
fancy, or that I might have come in contact
with the wall. In order to see the
street plainly, I had been forced to protrude
ray shoulders through the aperture,
which is too small to permit one to turn
round. Before I had time to withdraw
my head, the touch bucamo a grip, and
two stout arms were about my waist. I
was hel 1 as in a vise!
Picture to yourself my position. Night
was falling, I was alone, and a prisoner
in my own house. A prisoner of what J
of whom? I might call; but who would
hear me? I knew the house was empty.
My old housekeeper had gone out, and
might not return for hours. So long as
she attended to my wants and got my
meals regularly, I seldom inquired where
she went or how long she stayed.
"Who are you?" I gasped.
No reply.
"Letmego," I shrieked; "I shall
alarm the neighbor*." Not a sound but
the echo of my own voice among the
rafters.
"Help! help!" I screamed.
The grip of the villain tightened.
One hand slowly moved up toward ray
neck, ranking its murderous purpose
more apparent; the other was very near
my faithful old gold time-piece, ana
heirloom that numbered more years than
myself. Was I to be murdered for its
possession ?
Iu a frenzy partly raado up of fear,
partly of rage, I struggled to get my
head aud shoulders out of the oriticc in
order to be on moro equal terras with
my dastardly assailant; but I 6ecmed
like a babe in his grasp. My blood
chilled at the idea of being so po.verle3s.
Did the cut-throat intend to throttle me,
or throw me from the wiudow of my
own attic? As yet ho had not uttered
s sound. I could hear tli* muffled
movement of his feet on the floor; but
not a word, not a breath. A cold sweat
broke out all over me; my sight grew
dim. The silence of my mysterious assailant
was worse than any uproar. Why
did he not speak?
"Help! help!" I screamed, my strength
fast failim/.
o
I tclt ft powerfnl leg twisting about
my own; he was about to throw mo
badily from the window.
Frenzy nerved me with a strcugth not
iny own. I squirmed, twisted, bit,
screamed, and kicked like a madman.
The extreme violence of my strength
shall never cease to astonish me. I succeeded
in getting my head and shoulders
out of the aperture, broke loose from the
villain's grasp, aud sent him sprawling
on the lloor. I rolled over and over him
In my frenzy. Every man has more or less
of the savage in him, and for the time
being every savage instinct in my naturo
was uppermost. It was a fight for life.
The attic had grown dark, and the floor
was so strewn with boxes aud bundles
that it was impossiblo to avoid them.
We fell over them repeatedly in our
struggles. Precious though the old unframe
1 paintings were, I trod them underfoot;
much as I prized my violins, I
hurled them at the villain with all my
strength. I began to have some advantage
over him; he did not know the attic
as well as I. He stumbled against the
angles, tipped over cases that 1 knew the
location of, bumped against the sloping
ceiling. My courage begau to rise once
more.
"Begone, or I shall shoot!" I cried.
For the first time there came a sound
irom mo villain, no cnu.'Kicfl! well
lie knew I had no weapon, ua-1 well for
him I had" not!
"You are at iny mercy; surrender!"
I called, in a voice loud and shrill
enough to rouse the neighborhood.
Again the dastard chuckle 1! What
deviltry was he plotting?
nVVill J---- ?mirlvi f" I fcaitU'lOd.
"Well, hardly!"
The voice startled me. These were
his first words. I had not cxpectc 1 a
reply, and the words had a strange an I
uncanny ring. I confess I tremble I.
' You are my prisoner," 1 said in a
lower key and with lesscoufi lencc.
"Am I?"
The effrontery of the villain astounded
and exasperated me. I caught up the
first thiug 1 could roach ?a I hurled it
at hiui. It crashed loudly against the
wall. Shortly after there came a
scratching sound, and a light flokerc I in
the darkness. He h id coolly struck a
match!
I looke I at him in amaxe ncnt. One
glance was cn nigh. As I have said,
every man has more or less of the savags
in him, and my savage again assume I
the mastery. I hive been angry many
times in my life; but never tjuito ?o angry
as then.
Whose features did the light make
apparent tome? A dark-face I, s naileyed,
short-liairc I vill.ahi? a low -bro.ve I
cit-throut? Not at all! It was the serene
ami smiling countenanco of my
nephew, Mr. Percy I?\ Jenkins, the only
one of my kin I ha 1 ever tak i any in
Iciest in. Even the smirches of soot on
his face?the marks of my lingers,
doubtless?could not bide his identity
or his pleasint smile. Dripping toser
me, on a vacation from college, ho had
seen tit to lessen my life at least tea
years by one of bis college antics.
"Forgive mo, uncle," he cried; "I've
been to picnics, but this tops tliern all!"
For answer I llirtw an old violoncello
nt his head. Ifo dodged, (lie match
went out, and I hoped the scapegrace
would not lie able to (in 1 the dojr. But
he did. What would I have giveu for a
stout rattan and a chance to lay
it on his rascally carcass! lie stumbled
down stairs, and I folio se I
at the top of my speed. I fervently
hoped that ho would tall or miss his
way, that I might catch him; but ho disappointed
me. The last thing I heard
him utter was one of his villaiuous
chuckles as he swept down the hallway.
I might have passed him, but why,
where? He was moving like a whirlwind,
and the savago had goo i reason
to.
After 11 o'clock that night, while my
aged and faithful housekeeper was apply
ing arnica to my bruUee and listening to
my narrative of the outrage the re mm o
a banging on the knocker of mymont
door. When the old lady answerOTthe
summons, who stood there- but the little
villain, Percy F. Jenking!
"Itoally, uncle," said he, as he ctme
iuto my presence with a-sheepish air; "I
didn't mean to carry tkfe joke half so far.
Not tinding you down stairs when I came
in, I stole up to the attic. There you
were, looking out of the window, with
our back to me. It was an awful ternptation,
uucle."
I looked at him in silence. Th$ poker
stood just within reach of my fight
hand.
"I just thought I'd surprise you, uncle;
and? "
"You did surprise him!" interrupted
the old lady, conpressing her lips. "If
I was your uncle, I'd?" Words failed
her. and she went on rubbing mo with
urnica, wagging her head in awful indignation.
" The truth is, uucle," Percy went on,
"I just put my hands on you?"
"Silence!" 1 roared.
"Merciful Heavens!" cried the old
lady.
"Of course I owe you a thousand pardons,
uucle, aud I'll cheerfully do anything
in tho world to make amends. I've
been puuished, too. Look at mo, uncle.
That old 'cello took off a good deal of
hair and cuticle."
lie turned his rascally head to show
me. I observed with inexpressiblevdelight
that my aim had been true. A
large lump marked the spot where the
dear old iustrumcnt had struck. My
good humor began to return.
"I can hardly walk on my left log at
all," continued Percy.
"Good !" cried J.
"And, uncle, one of my thumbs is
stiff as a etake."
I laughed outright.
"Are you hurt badly, uncle?" he ventured
to ask.
"You know I am, you villain!" said I.
"Can't I help rub you?"
"If you dare touch mo I'll knock you
down with the poker! IIow dare you!
3it down there in the corner!"
"Of all the impudent boy9!" cried the
pooi old lady.
"Can't I even play a little for you on
the violin, uucle?"
I looked at him with a scowl.
lie took up one of my violins, the
oldest and the best in my motley collection.
How delicately ho handled tho
bowl No doubt ho will make a player.
Curiously, the firf- thing he played was
the "Suwanco River"?that typical
American air that addresses til? best that
iB in us ?and played it feelingly. The
rascal koew the way to my heart. Before
lie was half through I forgave him.
After all, no great harm came of the
escapade, and why should I bear him a
grudge? He is young nnd has many a
struggle for life ahead of him. If they
all terminate as happily as mine, he will
be fo:tunate indeed!"?Pittsburg Bulletin.

Three Kinds of Lightnin?.
- According to Arago, the celebrated
French physicist, there are throe kinds
of lightning, which he names lightning
of the first, second and third classes.
Lightning of the first class is known as
fork lightning. That of the second
class as sheet lightning, which has no
definite form, but seems to be a great
mass of bght. It has not the iutensity
of lightuiug of the first class. When it
occurs behind a cloud, it lights up its
outliue only. Occasionally it illu ninates
the entire body of clouds, and appears
to come forth from the very heart of it.
Sheet lightning is very much more frequent
than forked lightning. Lightning
of the third kind is called ball lightning.
Ball lightning lasts lor several
seconds, and, in this respect, differs
widely from lightning of the first and
second classes, which are, in the strictest
sense, momentary.?Detroit Free Press.

tho difficulty by having several boxes

advantage is that garments may be laid

The peachblow porcelain is of
Chinese manufacture, and is about three
hundied years old. It i9 not, as is sometimes
supposed, the designation of a
particular shade of color, but a rare and
peculiar giaze, which not merely covers
the surface of the vessel, but penetrates
the entire texture of the article, so thut
if tho same be broken, the intornal
structure is identical with that of the
surface. The method by which this result
is reached is uuknown, and much
money has been expended in vain to discover
it. The ware is, in a sense, therefore,
the result of a happy accident.
Specimens of it are rare in China to-day,
where it is prized as highly as anywhere
else. Most of that of which there is
definite knowledge was taken from China
by tho Dutch in tho days when thoy
monopolized the trade with that country,
and from Holland has made its way
over Europe. Tho specimens in this
country huvc almost all of them come
either from Holland direct, or by way
of France, whither pieces of it wero
early carried by tho Dutch, arousing unusual
interest among the French potters.
