TO HER IN THE COUNTRY. Bound me the ramble and the thund'rous beat Of all a city s walls and dies; Round thee the holy, silent incense sweet Of perfect flowers and perfect skies. Round me the agony of dally strife Is waged for honor, fame, and gold; Bound thee the halo oi a country life, That tits thee like a crown, Is rolled. Axe we apart? Nay, love, I think not so; Onr hearts beat strong across the space, No lands divide us long, my love, I know; My soul will find Its resting place. And yet the city's thund'rous, throbbing maze, And all the cou ltry's perfect skies Were one to me: could 1 a moment gaze Into the summer of thy eyes. W. J. Henderson. The Rulo or Railroad Promotion. I got ray information from a young man who has been for some time a brakeman on a suburban passenger train of the Northwestern railway. He is a very ef ficient and popular man, and when he told me he meant to resign I asked him what the reason could be. "Welll," he said, -'I have been told by the superintendent that I stand no chanco of promotion, as I didn't begin right. I was fool enough to think that if I took this place and behaved my self I would one day be the conductor of the train. "But I Had that Ih avc- been euchred by a sort of civil service rule that is en forced in all the companies. This rule Is that in order to become a conductor of a passenger train a fellow must begin as a brakeman ou a freight train, then he must be a brakeman on a passenger train, as I am now; then a conductor on a freight; train, and Chen a conductor on a passenger train. If a fellow begins as a brakeman on a passeuger train, the way I did, he w?l not be promoted in a century. I never knew it until the other day, but I am told that this rule is so well estab lished that the company do not dare to violate It, except in wise of obvious neces sity. So 1 guess I will go."?Chicago Journal. SXoderu Iicuu rSrumuiuU's Outfit. Waitj vests we very much the fashion just now, and a collar turned sharply down in front.

A sick and sorry looking specimen of humanity stepped from the passenger train last night and climbed into a wait ing wagon and was driven to the country. His name was Samuel NefL He is a man about 30 years of age, and his parents reside in Pine Creek. Young Neft is just aome from Arizona, where he has been prospecting in the mines and acting as a scout on the hunt for Indians. Unfort unately for him, he found the murderouB red devils, and they almost made mince meat of him. One day while riding through a canon ho was shot through the shoulder and fell from his horse. His as sailants, finding that he was not dead, tortured him outrageously. They cut 5ashes.in his face and all over his body, applied fire to his feet and hands, and ended their brutality by scalping him. He suffered untold agonies, and prayed that death might relieve him. Finally he fell into a faint, and upon awakening he found himself being kindly cared for in a miner's cabin. The miner had picked him up and carried him a long distance on horseback. Neff suffered weeks of excru ciating pain and raved with a fever, and as soon as he was able to travel he took the road for home. A reporter asked Neff how it felt to have his hair lifted. "It is a dreadful sensation," he said. :'One thinks, as the skin is being torn Crom the skull, that his feet are coming right up through his body to the top of bis head. Oh, it is terrible. It is so pain ful that you can not utter a cry; thousands of stars dance before your eyes. You imagine red-hot needles are darting in and out of your flesh, and you clasp your hands so closely that the finger nails cut into the flesh. I would rather be run through a thrashing machine, ground up in a sausage mill or thrown under a locomotive than to ever undergo such an other ordeal. It makes me shudder to think of the tortures I have gone through with, and I never want to look upon the face of another Indian." "Do many persons survive the opera tion?" interrupted the reporter. "No; I have only heard of two or three tr.en besides myself who have lost their hair by the scalping-knife and then live to tell of it." "Do you thiuk the hair will ever grow out again?" ' "Oh, no; I shall always have a bald spot up there. Tho skin was torn off for a space of four inches square, and I'm afraid it will never heal entirely. Even if it does heal over the bare place will always be so painful that I can not touch it. I keep my head tied up in cotton and sweet oil. You can see my beauty has been entirely marred. These frightful gashes across my faco will go with me to the grave."? Chicago (Cal.) Chronicle. Salting of the Fainons Chrysolite. I have seen mines salted when the best of them were fooled. A man they call uChicken Bill" salted the famous Chryso lite, in Leadville, and sold it to Tabor for, I think, $10,000. He worked days and weeks on it, and finally had it fixed to his satisfaction. Then Tabor was approached, md, not trusting any one else, went down into the shaft himself. He had been in mines twenty years, and was well quali fied to act as his own export. He was im pressed with tho property and bought it, but the veiu was small and he concluded to go lower. Hu had only sunk ton feet further when he struck the bonanza, aid the property was immediately recognized as being worth millions. The salting was not noticed until later, nnd Tabor was so impressed "with it that instead of having the man arrested and sentenced to the penitentiary, he began to : take him, and has him in his employ to lay. While prospecting for Tabor he dis jovered the Tarn O'Shanter, another rich strike. But while there is salting, there ? not as much of it as formerly. There lave been numerous instances whero it aas not been profitable. For instance, if 'Chicken Bill" had used less ingenuity and less time, and sunk his shaft ten feet "urthcr, he instead of Tabor would have struck the bonanza, and have had amillon instead of $10,000.? W. H. Wilson in Globe Democrat. Atred by an Kur-Trumpet. Some years ago a well-kuuwn Presby terian divine was spending his summer vacation with his family in the Adiron dacks. One Sunday he accepted an in vitation to preach 'in one of the simple meeting houses of that region. In tho congregation was a man who apparently was very deaf, for he came to the service armed and equipped with an immense brass ear-trumpet, and as soon as the ser mon began went forward and took his '. seat well up on the p"'plt stairs. The : clergyman's little da' ,.iter was among j the auditors; she had never seen an ear ! trumpet, and the spectacle of the form on j the pulpit stairs steadily holding that in strument to his head filled her with awe [ and wonder. On her way home from I church the first thing she said to her father when they were alone was: "Papa, was that au archangel by you?" ?Boston Herald. lit Knew Wh.if That Meant.

"Quite tirac, papa," she replied in a matter-of-fact way. "Well, laughter, Is there any prospect of a con tusion ?" "I can't say, really, papa.
