She turned and walked fleetly
across the desert, and soon the blihsful
city was lost from view below the hor
izon, and all around us lay the sileut,
merciless sands.
"Day after day and night after
night we plodded on. Sometimes an
awful sense of weariness oppressed me;
my feet sunk to the ankles in the re
morseless. yielding sands; the intense
heat shriveled my skin and parched my
lips. But my companion was never
weary and paused not. If I turned
laggard she prompted me to greater
exertion with the words: ‘Kvcn the
desert has'an end. Yonder lies your
w^. The troubles you now endure
are but blessings In disguise. ■ At the
end there is eternal peace and a laurel
wreath for your brow. Would you
fall now, after you have suffered so
much?"
"At each sound of her voice my faith
was renewed as if by magic and my
strength came back to me.
"It seemed to me that months had
been consumed in our journey, when at
last we attained the banks of a limpid
stream. Beyond it was a stretch of
f ialms and cedars, intermingled with
uxurious plants and the most exquis
ite of flowers.
" ‘Yon have attained the reward of
your sufferings,’ said my guide. ‘Here
at last is rest ami peace. All your
journeyings are at an end and now
comes your reward. Henceforth you
will never know a want, but pass your
remaining days on earth in doing good
to your fellows. Our paths lie a little
apart from this time, but 1 will watch
over you. A sense of my presence will
always be vouchsafed to ysu, aud in
Paradise wu shall be reunited.’
"‘But,’ I implored, ‘why'must you
leave me? You have been my good
aagel, my guide, my savior in all tha
trials which have beset my yath. Re
main ever at my side, for t may yet
fail without your aid.'
" ‘I would that it might be so; bnt I
fear it cannot. Be patient. In anoth
er stats of existence we cannot be part

" 'Then let me see your face once

" ‘Know you northat the face of an

*' ‘And that is my chief desire.’ was
my response; and seizing her veil I tore
it from her face. It was not a coun
tenance of raiflbeauty. as the world or
dinarily Judges the blandishments of
women: but it was pure and sweet and
true. It touched my heart as never
had woman's face appealed to it be
fore.
" The great soulful erea looked stead

me, after years of vain searching, and
released me from ray bondage. Hence

"I awoke. The fire had died away
to embers, and the room wu growing
cold. Long I marveled what such a
dream could portend. Weeks rolled
by, and the faoKOf the Arabian maiden
wu ever before me. The months
passed into years—and still faery lin

the expression of the deep, soulful eyes
remained implanted in my memory.
Half unconsciously I scanned the faces

wu impressed that One day I should

His kindness availed little. The

that it must be the order of a transiout

In the fulfillment of my duties I was
sent to furnish a report of the com
mencement exercises of a woman's
college at Oakland, just across ths bay.
Some strange impulse moved me to
send down my report and to accept an
invitation from the president of the
faculty to attend an evening recaption
at the college hall This was not in
consonance with my ordinary habits,
for a peculiar and sometimes most un
pleasant diffidence led mo to avoid
rather than seek public assemblages of
tho kind. The night was warm, aud
the ladies sought the pleasant balco
nies overlooking the bay to enjoy the
refreshing breeze from the Pacific. As
I sauntered np to one of the windows I
observed a young woman, who in some
mysterious way did not impress me as
a stranger, gazing abstractedly into
the starry depths overhead. Thinking
that it was some one to whom I had
been introduced during the evening, I
aroused her from her reverie by a com
monplace remark. Ai she turned her
face towards mine our oyes met I
started back in astonishment I had

" 'Pardon me, but we have met be

" *1 do not know,sir; there is certain
ly a familiar tone in your voice.' She
spoke in tho same sweet and bewitch
ing tones so deeply fixed in my mem
ory. In my confusion, I quickly ad
ded:
" ‘It must have been in Arabia.’
"The eyebrows ware arched in sur

"Well, to cut my story short, a last

which opea in too back aso the most
oonvenieat. There are two species of
locusts. One clast is seventeen year*
old at (ho time of birth, the other class
only shows a registration of thirteen
years. There is very lit tie difference
between the two classes, that is. human
investigation dcvolopes but little differ
ence, but tho locusts tlicmselves main
tain a social breach which years have
failed to bridge over. A 17 locuet and
a IS locust, although their clothes are
cut in very much tno same fashion, do
not linger in each other’s society.
The iociHt does not oat corn, cabba
ges or cucumbers, but goes into the
woods and splits rail timber. How he
can split a piece of wood that would
launt the courage of the professional
rail-maker has not been explained. He
may have an improved maul and
wedge which he keeps carefully con
cealed from the meddlesome eye of the
curious. While at work he sings s
low, droning song, never attempting
to change his tunc, but with his un
winking eye co the business in hand,
he does his best to prevent his neigh
bor from singing more discordantly
| than he himself is doing.
(> m O n Tennessee, loousts were
so numerous ll »e termers turned
them under with a plow*.Ip-iftrtillre the
ground with them. The farmsW- ^ m *
gratuiated themselves on tho richne&L
of their ooming crops, but, when in
toe spring, they plowed tbe fertilized
land, they were astonished to find, not
a sign of increased richness, but six
teen round holes to the square ineh.
Since that time the tend has produced
nothing but holes. This has rendered
the land practically worthless as no
market for the product can be found.
The greatest damage done by the lo
cust results from the attention which
he pays to young apple trees. He
would ratoer split a young apple tree
than to lead tho festivities at a german,
and although this illustrates a perni-
eions nature, yet sensible people do not
blame him.
As an article of diet, toe locust has
founa but little favor iu America, but
in central Australia, the Bushmen eat
them with great relish. If locust# must
be eaten, it is said that they do heat in
boarding-house soup, lor toon yon get
so few of them.
There is no affinity between the
grasshopper and the locust The grass
hopper is, in the broadest sense, a
vegetarian. He illustrates too fallacy
of tho vegetarian principle for every one
who has studied entomology knows
that the grasshopper is not so vigorous
as the mosquito or Ike wood-tick.
The i.igeiuiou of the locust is won
derful. Allbu ugh having filled him
self with hard oak timber, he is not
irritable, like Carlyle used to be, but
slugs os merrily as though his maw
were as empty as the stomach of a
man who has partakea of refreshments
at tholunoh counter of a cbarch fair.
The locust oau be traced buck to the
days of Johu the Baptist. John, it is
said, ate locusts and wild honey.
At one time it w.is thought that if
you planted a locust, a locust tree
would spring up, but u recent paper,
published in the North American Re
view, exploded this idea.
What tho future of tho locust will be,
no man can tell. I’roL Donnelly, who
confirms tno rumor that Bacon wrote
the plays attributed to Bhakspeare,
says that tlio ioeust, with bis great idea
ol mathematics, will, daring years to
come, continue to multiply under the
face of the earth. He claims to have
itscovercd a cypher by which he aan
plainly demonstrate this theory. He is
at present eugagi^l iu a book Aeveted
to this subject. Thu sales of toe work
w!Ti no doubt bo very large, but the as^
sort ions ami alleged proof of the
sltrewd investigator shhuid be received
wuh luarkod aeution. Matthew Arnold
holds a somewhat different opinion. Ha
says that the locnst, like the mastodon,
shall pasa away, and that, skeletons ol
this powerful insect will furnish to
future ages the ooly proof that it ouce
existed. This is sad. It ahows that
the world is oot really progressive.
Noah, it Rat been satisfactorily
•rov«(L4id net tak# locusts with him
into the ark. As it was not a cam,-.
paign year, the great navigator could
not find a locust. After tha flood had
sabetead, Noah remarked to Ham:
Pot on your canvass, Ham, and
come along with mo."
“WhiflterP" Ham asked.
“Out In the field. 1 want to dig
down deep aud see if I can find any
locusts."
They wont ont* and dug, but found
none. Then Noah said that the locust
was extinct, bnt several years after
ward, when ho had planted an apple
orcltard, toe locnst came, chewed up
bis trees and spat them over the fence.
Matthew Arnold should think of this in
cident, for It shows that tbe locust is
immortal. King Pharaoh, Prince
Keho and Count Roulette, In their day,
recognized the power of to* locust.

Mr. Henry sawed tbe air and
tor liberty or death 1 do not
that he know tout toe time wonld come
when Liberty would. stand knee-deep
in the mod of Bedloa’a Island and
yearn for a solid place to stand upon.
It seems to mo that we bate too
ranch liberty in this country Ilk some
ways. We have more liberty than we
have money. Wo guarantee that every
man in America shall fill himaelf hp
full of liberty at our expouae, and tha
loss of an American he is tbe more lib
erty he can have. If he desires to en
joy himself all ho needs is a-elight for
eign accent aad a willingness to mix np
with politic# as soon as he can get his
baggage off tbe stearoei;. The more I
study American institutions the more
I regret that I was not born a foreign
er, so that I could have something to
say about the management of our great
land. If I oouid not bo a foreigner, X
believe I would prefer to be a Mormon
or an Indian, not taxed.
I am often led to ask, in the lan
guage of tbe poet, “Is the Caocaaian
played out?’' Most everybody can
have a good deal of fun in this country
except the American. lie seems to be
•o busy paying his taxes all tbe time
that be has very little time to m

is the reason that the alien who* rideb

shin with our famltlos. '*
\Vc do not care much for
but we most have freedom, and free
dom costs money. We have adver
tised to furnish a bunch of freedom to
every man, woman, or child whocomos
to our shores, and wo are going to de
liver tho goods whether we have any
left for ourselves or not. What would
tho great world beyond the seas say to
ns if some day the bine-eyed Mormon,
with his heart full of lore for our
female seminaries and our old Women's
homes, should land upon our shores
aud find that wo were using all the
liberty ourselves?
What do wo Want of liberty, any
how? What could wo do with It If we
had It? It takes a man of leisure to
enjoy liberty, and we have no leisure
whatever. It is a good thing to keep
in tbe house “for the use of guests
ooly," but wo don’t need it ofrselvee.
Therefore I am in favor of * statue
of Liberty Enlightening the World, be
cause it will show that we keep it on
tap winter and summer. We want the
whole broad world to remember that
when it gets tired of oppreasien it can
come here to America and oppress ua
