THE DAY'S WORK. Do thy day's work, my dear, _ Though fast and dark the clouds are drifting near. Though time has little left for hope and very much for fear. Do thy day's work, though now The hand must falter and the head must bow, And far above the falling foot shows the _r Hrfcl/I fwfttin^|in blTOWo ? ' " Yel there is left us, I Who on the valley's verge stand trembling thus, A light that lies far in the west?soft, faint, but luminous. We can give kindly speech. And ready, helping hands to all and each, 1 And patience, to tbe young around, by smiling silence teach. We can give gentle thought, And charity, by life's long lessons taught, And wisdom, from old faults lived down, by toil and failure wrought. We can give love unmarred Hy selfish snatch of happiness, unjarred by the keen arms of power or joy that make you cold and hard. And if gay hearts reject Tbe gifts we hold?would fain fare on un* checked On ths bright roads that acarcsly yield all that young eyes expect? Why, do thy day's work still, The calm, deep founts of love are slow to cbul; And heaven may yet the harvest yield, the work-worn bands to fill. ?Chicago Herald. THE 8T0HY*"()F A SCAR, BY A. BANKHKAD. HE story of that tz scar. Thereby I hangs a tale, anti t rather a long one. It was years ago, rp*. when I was not f twenty, that I go! 55391 V 4 . it, and not ev<| N yet can ' think f I jl Tw' without -^^SEJkWT/T/^ ^ou know m5 1Parents died when r- j was quite young, and after leaving school my time used to be divided between Uncle Tom's house in the city and Aunt Lizzie's in the country. I was always with Aunt L:zzie in the summer, and it was while on h visit to her that it happened. She lived quite in the mountains, on a large farm two miles from tho raHway station, and at least twenty from town. The country was thinly settled, the farms all being large, with few exceptions, and wc had no near neighbors besides the tenants on the place. My aunt, an elderly woman in delicate health, made no attempt to keep up anything except the garden and the grounds around the house; she kept only two regular servants, a girl, the daughter of one of the colored tenants, who went home every night, and a half-grown boy who slept in an outhouse. The house was an old-fashioned brick one with n hnremtur, mid coartiwa vt o hall, entered from a small front porcb, a room on cither side, and an ell with two rooms running back from it and opening upon a lnrge back porch. Upstairs the same arrangement was repeated; my room was the front room upstairs over the parlor, while my aunt's was downstairs in the ell, with a small, enclosed stairway running from it into the room above, in which her son, my cousiD James, generally slept. But at the time of which 1 speak James had been away for a week, and was not expected back for several days, so that at night there w as no one in the bouse but my aunt and myself. Neither of us was timid, and such a thing as robbery was so unheard of that very frequently the back dcors were not even fastened by night, and nc one ever thought of putting awav the silver spoons and forks, nor the old sib ver teapot when night came. Coining from the city, as I did, it seemed to m< rather careless, for I know how careful Uncle Tom's wife was about her silvei A !?nf -** "Ob, child, there is nodangerl" And as not'niug ever seemed to happen I begau to think she was right, although my door was always bolted at night and 1 saw that the frout door was fastened. Uncle had scut ine a check several days before the day of which I am going to tell you, and although not for a very large amount, it was larger than utual, for I was going to pay a visit to some friends in L. before going back home. On that never-to-be-forgotten day 1 rode over to the station to get my check cashed, for I needed some ready money before going away. The postmaster and ticket agent was a sort of general factotum, and kept a store of general merchandise, as well as attending to his other business. lie always cashed my checks for me, and did so ou that day a9 usual. As he counted out the mqpev m? t*a .??V HIV CkVJC, UUVI 1 IIU LI CCU ills eyes dwell particularly on th^ money, and on the diamond rings whicl parkled on the lingers of my ungloved hand, my glove having beeu drawn off to indorse the check. The rings were ray mother's. 1 have always worn them, nnd still do f put the money carefully inside m) habit, and mounting my horse, rode oft without thinking again of t*he man, an probably would never have given him another thought if, just as we rose from the dinner table, a tramp bad not walked in at the front gato and that traiu^ proved to be the man I had seen at thr station. I wondered how it had hap pencd that he had taken to the highway instead of the railway track, but said nothing as I obeyed auntie's injunction to give hnn some dinner. Aunt had n profound sympathy for any one who might be hungry and had had too little experience with tramps to be anything hut henigu and charitable where they were concerned. I had an uneasy consciousness that the man had seen ray money, and wished it had becu otherwise, but he proved quite inoffensive, notwithstanding his looks, and after thanking me politely enough for his diuncr, walked off up the road. Consequently by night I had forgotten all about the matter, though I did take care to see that the hack door was fattened as well as the front, which half the time was foigottbn. You must remember that fastening that hack door shut me off entirely from the rest of the house, as auntie's room was in the ell opening on the porch Q downstairs, while mine was upstairs in front. (( I undressed, went to bed, and slept ^ quietly uutil some time in the night, D when 1 was awakened by the furious t yelping of ''Frisk," a littlo black and t tan torrier, which was in the habit of c stealingly slyly under the sofa in tho ^ hall downstairs, before the door was shut, in order to spend the night on it when all was quiet; I had forgotten to look for him, and had fastened him in. Then I heard voices outside of ray door, men's voices, and some one said: II "Confound that cur! he would raise the dead; tho ?irl must be awake." 1| The head of my bed was just at the door, and I heard distinctly. I eat up in bed, instantly, my heart beating ^ loudly, so loudly, that it seemed to mo .j I could hear it, 'or the unexpected had j( happened, and these were certainly burglars. My first thought was for something to put against the door, but w there was nothing I could move except a small tabic full of hooks, which was on the other side of the door from the V bed. I knew it would uot be much ' hindrance, but concluded that the over* turning of the table and the books, in 1 ca'-e the door was opcucd, might cm- I I1 barrassaud delay them for a few min- *' ..tea; being top heavy, it was certain to e overturn if pressed against. ?< Tho knob was turned as I moved it, and the door shakcu heavily from the tt outside. (( "Open the door," said a rough voice, h "or I'll kick it down,"suitingthe action n to tho word by a vigorous kick. g< Another voicesaid: "Hand out tbat money and them jj diamonds, little gal, and we won't hurt v y??" c How iny courage was screwed up I g| don't know, for I was too frightened to j, speak, but I remembered a little pistol j( which had been given me, and which, being very pretty, I kept lying on my bureau, it was so small as to be almost 8 a toy, but it carried one good-sized ? cartridge. 1 knew where to put my ^ hand on it in tha dark and seizing it, 1 g placod it against the door panel, ju9t e where the voice seemed to be, and fired. There was a loud oath aud a cry, and a voice exclaimed : R "The little vixen has hit met jnst J let me get at her and I'll twist her 11 1 neck,'" while the kicking and shaking ^ were ronewed so violently that I knew ' the door could not possibly hold out many minutes. I did not wait for it to a burst opeu, but rushed to tho front window, and threw open tho blinds; the n night was a bright moonlight one, and n looking out I could see thatono blind ot p the parlor window below was open, and h the top not so far below that my faot tl could not reach it while holding to the a window sill above. it I swuug myself out, holding r,n to my own blind as I did so, and after several tr efforts steadied myself on the lower ei blind. I dared not let go, but swung p there for a moment, sick and dizzy. is Then I saw that tho edge of the roof T over the porch was not over two feet u: beyond the edge of the blind when wide tl open, and up the side of the porch were e: stout, wooden strips, nailed across to Support a honeysuckle, which had been erowiog there so many Yearsthat.ita ? stem was almost a3 Targe as that of * f( 6uiall tree. tt I don't know how I ever did it; in a the day time, and in cold blood, it would have been impossible for me to do it w again, but I managed to catch the Q( turned up edge of the tin gutter around the porch, and swing myself so that my feet caught on one of the supports to the ?? honeysuckle, and, step by step, managed u to clumber down. As the gvound was P reached there was a crash upstairs, the door having given way, and, with it, 8 down came the table and books. I waited to hear no more, but, half crazed with fright, flew across the lawn u towards the side fence, a few yards be- T yond which stood the house of one of 1 the tenants. In order to get to it I had to leave the shelter of the trees and come 1 out into the bright moonlight, my white night-dress making me conspicuous as I ' did so. There were two windows to my room, one on the side as well as one in front, i d.'.'fe1, ^'"lTTero s"he goes; shoot her down I before she rouses the country on us." There was the sound of a shot, and I ' felt something like a cut on my arm, which, all at once, became wet. I did 1 not realize that I wa9 shot, but rushed on over the grass in my bare feet, tumbl- ' ing over the fence in some sort of fftoNlAM an/1 Unnlln /-.III? .? 9 a h ?""v"!

I Fortunately the bouse was low to the ; ground, and the windows within easy r reach, and I fell with such force against i the bedroom window that a pane of glasj 1 was broken and both Mr. and Mrs. Jones awakened. 1 I remember nothing more until I woke to find myself on the lounge in | Mrs. Jones's room, while she stood by ' me bathing inv hlfjf;diii"_Arnrlj ^1 meir shot-guns?always kept on hand for game?they had called the dogs and " gone after my two burglars.

I had shot the man I had seen that day in the shoulder, and he was some weeks in getting well. 1 The papers made a great ado about my 1 "heroic conduct," as thoy weie pleased to term it, and said a good many nice p things about me. When my ar.u got L well I had to be present at the trial of the men to testify against them, and had ! f the satisfaction of hearing them sen- j, cenced to ten years in the penitentiary.

Six methods of extracting perfumes are known; The first is expression, by means of a special press, which is applicable without too great loss to fruitskins rich in essential oils, such as orange and citron peel, previously grated. Another method is that of distillation, whieh oonsists in heating flowers with water io a boiler. The essential oil is volatilised and is condensed with the vapor of water in a worm and a Florentine receiver. The water usually goos to the bottom and the oil floats. The oils o! neroli, rose, patohouli, geranium, lavender, caraway, etc., are obtained in this way. The process is not applicable to the delicate perfumes of the mignonette and the violet; and for them recourse is had to maceration of the flowers in animal fats or mineral oils, which have the property of absorbing -A U.S.. - A iL^ L.J uuuiuui sumvwiuw, nnu are lueu wmubu in alcohol.

The pneumatic pra. fug, which fiOPliltlifl causing a current absorbed by coatings of lard on glass plates, appears not to have given satisfactory results. Another process consists in dissolving perfumes iu very volatile liquids like sulphuret of carbon, chloroform, naphtha, ether, or chloride of methyl, and volatilising the solvents, which can be done at a low temperature in a vacuum.
