The 'Reaper*. \ o’er the broad, fair meadows The westward son sinks low. Slowly through deep’ning shadows, Homeward the reaper* go. Where the little babe l e* sloping, Safe in bis simple bed. And waiting children listen Th^ir father’s sturdy tread. Where the little wife is singing; The firelight loaps and falls, Vo purer songs are ringing Through gilded palace hal's. If the nati >□ seeketh keepers. Brave hearts and mighty hands, Let it turn to the toil-worn reapers, Who garner the harvest lands. There are those who, toil forsaking. May dream of kingly state, Where the sword its power is making, And pampered vassals wait. The king is a restless sleeper. His throne may rise or fall. The lot of the sturdy reaper Is surest of them all. -J. B. M. Wright in American Cultivator. COOK AND COUNTESS. Patty Cowslip, the only daughter of the Rev. Peter Cowslip, Vicar of Mud- desworth-in-the-Marsh, was a pretty girl. She was so pretty that she might have actually aspired, though she hadn’t a penny in the world, to marrying a fashionable curate. But though Patty was penniless, she was ambitious, and she hadn’t the slightest idea of marrying the most fashionable of curates. It is not necessary to describe what Patty was like. ‘'Rather above than below the ordinary height,” as novelists say, rich chestnut hair with a glint of gold in it, an excellent figure, small ears, brown eyes with dark eyebrows and lashes, pearly teeth set in the rosy frame of a pair of lips arched like Cupid’s bow, a round and dimpled chin, a swan-like neck—Bahl we have all once in our lives met somebody as charming as Miss Patty Cowslip; but as a rule the cxpcrieuce has not been re peated. We must not forged, though, that Miss Patty’s arms and hands wcr3 ler strong point. A queen might have pnvied them, for they were absolutely rfect. ^Miss Patty Cows’.ip had had a decent ication, but beyond tho annual sub- of £10 a year, which the parish r for playing the organ, she penny in the world, ev. Peter Cowslip was as poor With considerable difficulty god to pay his tradesmen at the d; but the Rev. Peter dined much better than many mil- . Any why? Was it on ac- [the poor clergyman’s wicked tee? Not a bit of it; the fact itty was a spendid cook—a .for tho noblest of the arts. Jadies, having ■d call it art; other girls torment Kth the piano, violin, banjo, harp, Ebut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all ids of music; other girls sing. All se people work their wicked wills jon us with impunity. We grin; we |iy f “Oh, thank you so much,” because re are obliged to do that; and our po- ! teness is treated as an encore, and then ur sufferings recommence. Pretty Patty Cowslip did none of these dreadful things; but she could cook like Ude, Francatelli and Soyer tolled into one. And pretty Patty went up to town and entered the School of Cookery and came out as the senior wrangler of the year. It was Patty first, the rest nowhere. M. Caramel, the Professor of Ornamental Pastry, proposed to her at once; but Patty re fused him, for as we have said, she was ambitious. And then Miss Cowslip is sued a neat little advertisement, took Qiodest lodgings i n a modest West End street, and began to teach on her own account. Lord Fieshpotts was a widowed no bleman. He had three unmarried daughters—the Ladies Gwendoline, Er- myntrude, and Eimyngarde Casserole. His lordship was a great suflforjr from indigestion, and he was dying of bad dinners. No cook ever stayed more than a month in his house; each of his daughters ruled the roast for a week, and generally the particular young lady who happened to be responsible for the din ner on any given evening left the room in tears before the dessert was put upon the table. If Lord Fieshpotts would only have dined at his club,all might have been well; but he persisted in dining at home, and the lives of his three daugh ters were slow martyrdoms. It chanced one day that they saw Miss Cowslip’s advertisement in the St. James's Gazette. Lady Gwendoline pointed it out to her sisters. They or dered tho carriage early the next morn ing, and they were ushered into Miss Patty’s neat little sitting room in Park street. “We don’t want to take les sons, Miss Cowslip,” said Lady Gwen doline. “We’re two stupid,” said Lady Ermyngarde. “Aud it would be no use,” said Lady Ermyntrude. “But, oh! Miss Cowslip, couldn’t you come every morning and give us a few hints, for Pa is wasting visibly!” cried the eldest girL “It’s novelty that poor papa re quires,” sobbed the second daughter— 4, re freshing novelty and perpetual change. Those are his very words, Mbs Cowslip; his cruel, heartless words.” “Has Lord Fieshpotts ever tasted apple dumplings?” asked Patty Cow- slip solemnly. 4 Tt’s a plate I never heard of,” ex- .Claimed Lady Gwendoline. “They were a favorite dish with his Majesty King George the Third,’’ re marked Patty the historian. “And we’ve never even heard of them?” sighed Lady Ermyntrude. So it was arranged that Patty was to come the next day and teach them how to make apple dumplings, for which she was to receive a fee of one guinea, and as a personal favor she wrote them a charming little menu,’ in which among the sweet dishes appeared the item, “Apple dumplings a la George Trois.’’ At 2 o’clock the next day Mbs Cow^ slip was shown into their ladyships’ boudoir. A clean white cloth, by Pat ty’s direction, was laid upon the round table in the centre of the room; flour, water, a dish of apples, some brown sugar, some cloves, a pastry-board and a basin were brought in by Adolphus John, the six-foot footman, and then each of the Ladies Casserole, provided with a silver knife, began to peel an apple. Poor things, they couldn’t even do that properly. But Patty Cowslip, who had taken off her hat and gloves, laid as.de her jacket and donned a natty lit tle Swiss apron trimmed with Russian embroidery, rolled up her sleeves and displayed her magnificent arms and demonstrated the proper way to peel an apple, to the delight, astonishment and admiratiop of the Lidies Casserole and when she was in the middle of the pro cess the door opened and Lord Fiesh potts entered the room. “Pa,” said Lady Gwendoline, “allow me to introduce to you Miss Cowslip, who has kindly consented to give us a few lessons.” p “My dear young ladyl” cried his lordship, “do I speak to the talented authoress of the charming menu I hold in my hand? Ever since it met my eyes I have felt a new sensation. I’ve eaten no lunch. I am reserving .myself for your most delectable little dinner. But you have aroused my curiosity as well as my appetite. What on earth are apple dumplings a la George Tro s a dish I have never met in the whole course of my vast experience.’’ (“She’s got the most lovely arms and hands,” he thought, “that I ever saw in my life!)’’ Patty smiled. (“What teeth!” thought his lordship.) “You shall see them made, Lord Fieshpotts,” said Patty, “if you care to look on.” “If I card It will be the proudest privilege of my life. My dear Gwen doline,” said the Earl. I could watch tho movements of your charming friend forever. ” “Pa!” cried the Ladies Casserole, in an astonished and indignant c'-iorus. And then Prof. Patty divided her apples into quarters, and then she made the paste and cut it into the r quisito "sized squares." And Liora Fieshpotts ■ looked on with respectful admiration, for he couldn’t take his eyes off her magnificent hands and arms. “H» he thought, “that shapely creature would only prepare my meals forever life would still have charms. I can’t ask her to bo my cook, for she’s a lady. When I look at her I feel myself grow ing young again.” Just then Patty completed the first dumpling. “What do you think of that, Lord Fieshpotts?” she said as she displayed the little white sphere on her extended palm. “My dear young lady,” said Lord Fieshpotts, gazing at her arm and hand, “it’s a dream of loveliness.” “Your lordship is laughing at me,’ said Miss Patty. “I’m not, I assure you!” burst in the enamored peer; “I could eat it raw I” And thou the three Ladies Casserole simultaneously began to hate Prof. Patty with a deadly hatred. But Miss Cowslip hadn’t come to Eaton square to waste her time. She turned out the rest of the apple dump lings with the celerity of a practiced hand. She took no further notice of his lordship, but she pocketed her guinea, ■which Lady Gwendoline tendered wrapped in the conventional piece of tissue paper, and took her leave. The dinner that evening in Eaton square was for once a success, and Lord Fie hpotts was helped three times to apple dumpling a la George Trois. The next day, when Miss Cowslip ar rived at Eaton square, she was shown into his lordship s study. “My dear young lady,” cried Lord Fieshpotts, as ho advanced with ex tended hands, “I’m delighted to see you! Words fail me,” he added, in a broken voice, “to sufficiently express my appreciation of your beauty and ac complishments. The crispness of the crust, my dear madam (they were baked dumplings), was indescribable. I have one question to ask you, M ss Cowslip. Will you be my wife? ’ “Patty Cowslip felt as if the room was going round with her. The enamored peer dropped upon his knees. It the devotion of a lifetime,” he began. “Don’t, Lord Fieshpotts 1” said Pat- ty. “You’ve found the way to my heart, my darling—” + * * * * * The second Lady Fieshpotts is a very popular person, and her dinners are cel ebrated. She has married off her three step-daughters to Mustard, Soap and Furniture respectively, and she takes the most dutiful care of her husband. His lordship’s bill, the British Cooks’ Compulsory Education Act, comes on j for first reading at an early date; and the young Countess of Fieshpotts has promised to give evidence at the Royal Commission which is expected to be ap pointed upon the subject. —St. Janus's Gawettc. Lick’s Flour Palace. James D. Lick, the benevolent Cali fornia millionaire, was never married, but, like many of the bachelors, as Shakespeare indifferently called the members of either ser, be bad his ex perience. One of his apparently unexplainable freaks in California was to ouild a mill which'was ceiled with mahogany and other beautiful woods and finished in the most expensive style. There seemed to be no reason for this f orm of extrava gant folly until a little romance of his early life came out. Before he went to learn the organ making business he had been appren ticed to a wealthy miller in Pennsylva nia who had a pretty daughter. Lick was a comely and plucky youth and the two fell in love. Full of hope and the prospect of happiness the young man applied to tho girl's father, giving him full information as to both their wishes. Whereupon the rich Pennsylvania Dutchman becamo indignant and scout ed the idea, exclaiming: ‘ Out, you beggar! Dare you cast eyes upon my daughter, who will inher it all my property? Have you a mill like this? Have you a single penny in your purse?” To this tirade the poor youth could only reply that just then he hadn’t, but added that the day would come when he would have a mill compared with which that one would be nothing more than a pig -sty. Ho left the miller, but never forgot the cruel words. So, after he had become uot only rich but a mil lionaire, be built this mill, and when it was finished it had everything that could havo added to the perfection of its appointments. Its machinery was perfect and its walls and floor of the very highest polish. He was not able lo bring tho miller to see the fulfilment of his boyish declaration, but he had the mill photographed in every possible way, within and without, and although his old sweetheart had long since been married, he sent her father the pictures and recalled to, him the day he had boasted of his mill. —Baltimore A.nuri- can. '■ ■ ' . Music Reconciled Them. The Spanish and Imjian Californians were passionately fond of music. All the men could make shoes and play the guitar, and every woman could sing Spanish songs to her own accompani ment Bancroft in his “California Pas toral” tells how the peopl^^rtH^^the conoupt of the count States, were reconciled to" by music. The Californians were invited to re turn to their homes and resume their usual occupations. Proclamations which promised protection of their persons and property were placarded in the towns, but they would not come out of their hiding places. The Commodore whoso naval force had helped to conquer the country was at Los Angeles, Cal., and meeting Cap tain Phelps, an old trader on the coast, requested his help. “Commodore,’’ replied the captain, “you have a find band on your ship, and such a thing was never before in this country. Let it play one hour in the plaza each day at sunset, and I assure you it will do more towards reconciling the people than all your proclamations, which few of them, can read.” The captain’s suggestion was adopted. At first the children came forth and peeped around the corners of the houses. A few lively tunes brought out the vivas of the older ones, and before the band ceased playing they were surrounded by delighted natives. The next afternoon the plaza was thronged with the people of the town, and with ranchmen from a distance, who having heard of the wonderful band, had ridden m. The old priest of the mission of San Gabriel, as he sat by the church door opposite the plazs, listen ing to the music was introduced to sev eral of the naval officers. “I have not heard a band,” said the oldman, “since 1 left Spain, over fifty years ago. Ah! that music will do more service in tho conquest of California than a thousand bayonets.” “■iasic*. Xoi Comrades, listen!

The hat, stiff with standi, is of coarse hemp cloth and resembles somewhat an inverted bowl or old-fashioned soup tureen. Under the hat is worn a head band and a cap. The hat, the cap and the head band are worn together the day of the death, at the funeral and at the . expiration of the first and second years I of mourning. At other times during the mourning period the head band alone is worn. The mourning robe is made of a coarse hemp cloth similar to that of which the hat and screen are made, but with ex tremely large meshes. The back is a wide straight piece, two gores extend from the armpits down and the front is a straight piece and a gore. It has a roll ing collar three feet long and sleeves eighteen inches wide, cut square. The The robes are of a yellowish-brown and white in color, and at the bottom they measure nine and one-half feet in circum ference. Over this is worn a robe of finer quality and slashed up at the sides. The sleeves are wider also. After the death of a father a girdle of hemp rope is worn. If it is a mother that is dead a hemp cloth sash is worn. A variety of hats are worn for mourning. A screen hemp cloth is always held in front of the face by a mourner. It is considered a great offense to look into the face of a mourner. Before missionaries were per mitted in Corea they used to steal into the country by disguising themselves as mourners.— Washington Star. —— tteD harvest time is near, and fortun- yue facilities for enjoyincit are ample.

Recognition in Birds. Mr. W. J. Stillman, writing to Nature from Canea, Crete, records a curious in stance of instinct in birds, which is by no means singular. A gardener living in Zukaleria, three miles from Canea, caught a young but fully fledged sparrow In his garden, which be brought to the house of a friend, with whom Mr. Still man and his family are staying in Canea. He presented the bird to one of the chil dren in the house, it was put in a cage and hung in the window, and after a few hours it lost its fright and became placid. It was early in the morning when it was caught, aud late in the afternoon an old bird was noticed fluttering about the cage, while the young one was making frantic efforts to get out to the old one. It was evidently the mother of the young bird, as the recognition was too cordial to have been owing to the in terest of a strange bird. On the cage being opened they both flew off rapidly In the direction of Zulakeria, from which the old bird must have traced its nest ling by some instinct as it is impossible she had followed the gardener, or she would have been observed earlier in the flay.
