ESTAB1LISHED 1848 WHEN THE SEA GIVES UP HER DEAD They toll us with the quiet voico Of perfect fhith, and hope, and trust, That on the Il)ay when Christ shall como To bid His chosen ones rejoice, To breathe now life in doath's dark dust, To give new speech where death struec dumb, From out the sad sea's restless bed, Shall rise once more the hidden dead. They toll us this vith upraised eyes, .That gaze beyond tho present's woe, And whisper of a Heaven and Gods, Draw pictures of star-laden skies, Where angels wvander to and fro, When those now 'neath the churchyard sod Will rise from out their dreary bed, The day t,he sea gives up her dead. Yet will they raise once more the j'ast, Or give ue back the faith that died, Or breathe new breath in love's dead breast? What for the love that (lid not last? What for the days, when side by side We wandered on, nor thought of rest, Will these arise and leave their bed The day the sea gives up her dead?' Ah, neverinore dead joy is dead, The sunshino dead nu'er sillos again, 'Tie evening gathers on the shore, Our kiss was kissed, our words were said, Nauhgt lasts fore'er save sin and pain, Love dead is dead lorever, Silent he lies, in his cold bed, Though all life's-seas gave ui' their deadl HE LOST THEM BOTH. "Cora," said old Miss Duchesne ab ruptly, "did you ever have your fortune told?" Cora started at the sudden question and then smiled. "I" said she, ' my fortune told? How should I? We city girls never stumble across gipsy camps. Old Miss Duchesne was sallow, with very black hair, scarcely as yet sprin kled with gray, although 60 years had passed over it; sharp black eyes, and a' nose and chin which nearly met. She looked almost like a sphinx herself as she sat there. "I used to tell fortunes when I was a girl " said she. "With cards?" lau.ghed Cora. "No, by palmistry. Shall I tell yours?" Cora looked at the old lady with sur prise. Was she in jest or earnest? Why did she speak so sharply? Why did those glittering eyes seem to burn their way into her very bram? But Miss D1udhesne had been the school friend of Cora's mother years ago, and Cora had always humored hier eccentricities. "If you choose," she said, half hesi tating. "Give ine yofr hand," said Miss Duchesne; "the samne hand whnch you are one day going to be.stow upon )uke Chesterton in marriage." "Yes," said Cora, calmly. "A white, plump, velvety 14tle hand,'' said Miss Duchesne, peerin closely into the pahn that her nose most touched the rosy skin. "Let n. seel-let-ne-see The line of luck; the line of life; the line of lovel Alh, here we arel Beware of a dark girl. she is coming between you and the line of love. She will work you sore trouble yet." The girl sat as if some new light had suddenly dawned upon her brain. "You mean my cousin Ariadne?" said she involuntarily. Miss Duchesne nodded. "I mean your Cousin Ariadne," said She. "Child, child! can it be possible that you are so blind as not to see what is going oit under your very eyes? That woman is winning your lover away?" Cora smiled increduously. "Oh, but that is quite impossible. Duke loves mel He is engaged to mel" "Meni are false," saidi Miss Duchteone with energy. '"There never was one yet puroof against the wiles of a siren like Ariadne Jiuckinigham.'' "'Miss Duchesne, you matst not talk so," laltered Cora, wit~h the color vary ing ona her cheek andl a stalrtledl look in her eyes. "Ariadnte is my guest. Duke is my entgagedi lover. I-" Siletly Miss D)uchesnxe drew aside1 the ruby-velvet draperies of? the whidow and poited to where Miss Liesie'sown carriage was drawn up opposite the curbstone.

I am sure Cora will excuse tis for itvaditng her boudoir." But Miss IDuchesnte did ntot return the fair Ariadne'j smiles. She gathered up her knitting, made seine curt reply about dlesiring to be alone, and~ staliked out of the roonm. "UCross old( thing!'' pouted Ariadine. '"One woul ainost imagine, D)uke, that you were h~er lover, and~ that she~ was Sl.e laughed a shrill, sweet tinkle of a sond. M aai nad uake Chtesterton haughted also.

She luutu written to Cora Leslie, bet . mothier's cousin, l hat she wvould like t< byeltad a h litter with her; anid Cora, ful of sweet, wotmanly compassion, prompt ly sent mroney for her to come. "I never had a sister," wrote Cora "anid I am sture that I shall love yoa dearly." And It was thts that Ariadne had re warded her. The old story over agah of the serpent wvhocstings its benefactor But, atlthiougna Cora had been blind the rest of. the work! like Miss Duches ni, was more clear-sighted. Colonel Vavason. Mr. Ohesterton' uncle, took him sternly to task for hi! defection from the line of equity. Duke laughed. "My dear uncle," said lie, "you tak things too seriously I Cannot an enigage( man so much a3 look at another wo mnan?" But one day, in blossomy May, Co lonel Vavason's card was brought up t( Miss Leslie. Cora was preparing to go out will Miss Duchesno for a drive. She was full of bright happiness that morning, and even Miss Duchesno breathed mor freely, for Ariadne Buckingham ha( left them the night before in respons -so at least she gave them to under. stand-to a telegram from her father who was ill. The nightmare (rean was over at last-all the world wau May I She ran down into thedrawing-room, where Colonel Vavason leaned against the mantel tall pale and handsome. "4Oh1, Colonel,-' she said brightly, "I am so glad to see yon. Duke is com. inig-" But ske paused as her eyes fell on hh pale features, the look of mute horroi in his eyes. "lDuke will never come here again,' said he in a low tone. "Be a heroine, Cora. Bear your troublo bravely. Duki went away before daylight. He left a note asking me to tell you. Hie love. Ariadne Buckingham,'and has followed her to her homely" And so Cora Leslie closed the chaptei of her first love-or rather Marmaduk Chesterton closed it for her. At the end of a year Marmad ukt Chesterton caie back. He was n1ot married to Miss Buckinghan after all The beautiful brunette had acceptec1 his presents and smiled on him witl those melting eyes of hers, amused her, self at his expense and finally wedded - young lieutenant of artillery to whon sie had been engaged for I ears. Duk was pale and haggard as he stood ther in the boudoir, where lhe had first asket Cora Leslie to be his wife. But Cora was lovelier'Lian ever. A lie looked upon her lie marveled that Ii could have ever cared for one like Ariad ne Buckingham. "Cora ," he said, in a broken voice, a she cordially gave him her hand, 'ca' you ever forgive me?" '"Oh, yes" she answered, smiling, "] forgave you long ago. And oh, hoi you must have suffered, Dukel" "But," lie went eagerly on, "I an disenchanted now. My eyes are openet at last. I know that I never reall. loved any one but you. Sweet Cora, Is it too late to ask you to renew ou: engagement once more?" "1 am afraid it is," said Cora, stil serenely self-possessed and calm. "But why," he urged. "One reason," answered Cora, "i that I have long ceased to care (except of course, as a friend) for the man whi loved Ariadne Buckingham better that me. The other is that. I am to be mar ried next week to Colonel Vavason." "To-my uncle?" "Yes," sheanswered, "to your mucle I love and honor him as I never lovet and honored man before." So Marmaduke Chesterton lost botl blonde and brunette, and Miss Duches no was satisfied at last that her darli< was worthily wedded. 1ovey's Laot Days.

"What is that old maiL talking to th Governor so earnestly for?" was asket in the Executive Chamber. "He is pleading for thme life of hi; son," was the reply. Old Mr. Hovey, with clasped hand and careworn face, was pleading iwiti the Governor to co.nmuto the senitene of Edward Hovey to imprisonment [o lie. The old man was accompantel by Counsellor Kmaizing and the Rev Dr. Gluilbert. Hai begged for his ion life to save the itamity from further dis grace. Hie told pathetically the stor, of the death of the boy's mother froml the shock of his crime, and feared tha other evils would follow. - "'i is true," said the Governor, "'thn these evils fall upon the innocent wvho cimem is committed."

They who have mastered the Alps, and found them already mastered by L their predecessors, sigh for a new world, and find it in the Himalayas. There is a singular correspondent be tween the two chains. India is the Italy of Asia. Each has a magnificent Island for its satellite. Bombay cor L responds to Genoa, Calcutta to Venice, i Delhi to Milan, while the Granges.and the Indus are humbly represented by the Po and the Adige. Both chains run from east to west, presenting their boldest and steepest front to the south. Both have their ancient and well known passes. In both cases the most rugged of outlines and eternal snow are the horizon of fertile and populous plains. As to scenory,while the Hima layas are more sublime, the Alps are more beautiful, for they are generally seen with .a surrounding of wood and water, the latter of which is entirely wanting in the Himalayas, except o' t of sight, at the bottom of deep gorges. The Alps and the Himalayas both throw out long branches east and w( it, as if to claim whole continents for thoir own. Northward the resemblances ceases, for middle and northern Europo supply no' parollel to the elevated step pes, the ~aterminable deserts, the frost and Swamp of Sibo ia. The Ilimalayas looked and spoke to the south, and tihe railway has brought them within a few days of 11ombay and Calcutta. With in six months an Englishman may leave London and return after seeing all that is most worth secing in the Indian peninsula, including the Himalayas, in a climate as bearable as an average summer at home. So they who pine for the distinction of first ascents have now no obstaclo In the way. True there have been strange tales, or i'Jle surmises, that at tihe height of 20,OuO feet, or even less, life is Impossible. NMan could not breath there or could I only breath in vain. That, however, was one of the points to be investigat ed.. and it is understood that a moun Stain clinber must be prepared to risk his life for a suihfcient object. Mr. Graham has not attained an absolute success; but lie has paved the way to L successes. Ito has demonstrated that it is possible to breathe and live at an [ elevation many thousand feet higher than Mont Blanic, and that it is possi ble to undergo tihe fatigue of much longer' and steeper ascents than those L from Chamounix or Zermatt. He has r brought the highest peaks of the Hima layas within reach of moderate strength activity and perseverance. The difficulties surmounted by Mr. I Graham to within sight of complete tuccess speak well for the courage and power of our race. Ile had with him two picked guides from Switzerland. One of them was an utter failurc and the other could be "scedy" and incapa ble. lie had a journey of twelvo days to the scene of action, and as le had to do much of it in rain, it could not but take somie strength out of him. He had then to cross deep gullies, through which dashed enormious streams. Ile had to make a series of ascents, P3. mug over two peaks higher than Mont Blanc. After live days of this wcrk lie had to encamp at a still greater eleva tion, and semt back his coolies, who ato immore than they wore worth. After a climb of some hours on an ascent that would be steep for Switzerland, lie bad to leave behoid one of his two wmiss guides. lie got within sight of a sum mit 23,OOu feet high, and would have reached it but that there suddenly came on one of those storms of wind and snow which it was impossible to face n such a situation. Iow they got tback safe at all Mr. Graham does not Sknow. They reached the camp, and had to pass a night In their wvet clothes without fle'c. After thIs lie tried .Nanda Devi, the Indian Matterhorn, nearly btice a high as its European brother, bttecoolies again proved faithless. R~ecoi ding several failures, lie Is glad to note one peaik of more than '20,000J feet which lie ascended, and 'In which ne sees the earnest of greater act.ieve menits. Ile is still undaunted, and we catch our last glimpse of him for the presient preparing for thme ascent of a .giant over 28,000t feot, the famous Kin chminjuniga. Others, moreover, are 'on the track, and if, as seems likely, there will be a fewv failures, Mr. (Grahmam's examp~les leaves lhttle dloubt that ini course of time, by one way or another, every peoak of this famuous chain will be reached, and will be ever afterward as sociatedl with thme prowvess of some 4 young Eniglish gentleiman anixious to achieve ai bloodless victory oveir mater ial dlliculties. 3 A simpnle filter is made as follows; j Procuare an ord ina ry woodlen pall and~ bore a numner of holes the size of a flve-cent s piece all over thme bottom. Next pro pare a ilne muslin bag, a little larger a than the bottom of thme pail, and about one inch In height,. The bag is now e tIlled with clean, well-washed sand and r placed in the pail. Water is niext LI poured ini, and the edges of the bag should bie p~ressied against the sidesq of Sthe pail. We put such ai lter to very -severe tests by mixing a diry sienna co lor in a gallon of water and, passing Sthrough, the color was so fine its to be tan imp~alpable powder, renderig the water a (beep chocolate color. On pour in lg this mixture cin to the filter pad n and1 collectiing time water, it was found free cof all coloring matter. This was a ,veiry satisfactory test for such a slimle appliance, and I cannot too stronmgl~y recomnmendl it in cases where a mor e csomlilcated ariangement cannot be substituted. The fiest and cleanest sand is desirable. Sand purchased at glass manufactories should be obtained. * The above described ilter at its best 0 Is but a good strainer, and will arrest .the suspended particles. But in a meo dhern filter more perfect wvork Is required, and another-effect produced, in ordem that water contaiining objectionable ~matter In solution should be rendered fiti for drinking purposes. Many per sons when they see a water quite cleam seem to imagine that it must be Ip i good state for drinking. Taey .should ~s r-emem~ber, hiowever, that many sub n stanoes which entire ly dissolve in wate: do not diminish its clearness. Honet a clear bright water may, despite its clearness, be charged with a poison or substances more or less injurious to health; such, for instance, as soluble animal matter. To make a perfect filter, which should have the double action of arresting the finest suspended matter and removing tilo matters held in solution, and the whole to cost but little and capable of being made by any housewife, has been the object of my study for many months, and, after many experiments and test ing various substances in my combina tions, I suggest the following plan, whish I ind gives very perfect results, and will cost a couple of dollars: Purchase a commoi glvanized Iron pail, which costs lifM cents. Take It to a tin shop and hav ai'ole Cut In tile centre of the bottom about the size of a five-cent piepc, and direct them to Eol der around it a piece OOf tin about three fourths of an inch deep, to form a spout to direct the flow of water downward in a uniforin direction. Obtain about two qaarts of small stones at a store where material for rooting is sold; after a good wastning place about two inches of the seat bottom of the pail to form a drain. On this place a partition of horse hair cloth or Canton flannel cut to size of pail. On this place a layer of animal charcoal, sold at the wholesale chemists as bone-black at about ten cents a pound. Select this about the size of gunpowder grains, and not in powder. This layer should be three or foin inches. A second partition ay ing bee placed. add turee inches of sand, as clean aid fine as possib!e. Those within reach of glassimakers should purchase the sand there, as it is only witti that quality of sand timt the best results can be obtained. On this place another partition, and add more line stones or shingle-say for two or three inches. This serves as a weight, to keep the upper partition iii place. Your filter is now complete, but not ready for use. However careful you may have been in washing the material, a residue of dust will remain, and tais has to be gradually washed through. For this purpose pass as much water as possible througli the litter during the first day without using il The next day it will 12c ready for use, and, if my directions have been comlplied wilh, filtered water will always b~a at com miand, not only freed from all suspended substances, but from color due to mat ter hold in solution having been re moved. I tound that the yellowish co lot of Croton water, which is very dill cult to remove, was entirely absent in water passed through my filter. To test this, water must bo titled up in a large white porcela''.' basii. In tuis manner Lte color of" Crotoon water is plainly visible in contrast with the Whute china. The Chestnut Trafln. A Hartford fruit dealer has been ad vertising for 10,000 bushels of chest nuts. "Vhat do younexpect to do with theim?" asked a reporter. "I cau find a ready market tor every one of them in New York aid Boston," was the reply. "Do you expect to get 10,000 bush els?" "Oh, no; If I got 1,00D I shall (10 well. But when the country folks see they are wanted, they strip the trees and bring them in." "What price do you pay for then? "They bring, now, about $1 a bushel. I would take one hundred bushels at that price, to day. By-and-by, witen they begin to come in, they will drop to $3, or even $2, a bushel. In searce years, $7 a bushel is paid, and I have seen $2handed over for a bushel of chestnuts right in this town. T1hiis year, the trees are thick with burrs, but the last frost didn't open them. Another frost wvill bring them in, in large qluantities. The chestnut season usually lasts six or seven wveeks. About 5,000 bushels are brought in from the surrounding country to the IHartford wholesale deal ers. More than 1,000 bushels of these are put into the pockets of the local multitude at five cents a half-pint, from thme peanut stands and retail stores. The reost are sent to Boston and New York nind from thereo reshipped to cities furthe~r weost. Thelm amount consumed in New York city al'one is enormous. Th'fe chestnuta are brought in ini small quantities. A coup~le of boys wvill (di piose of a peck or twvo, and occasionially a farmer wvill ofer three or four bush.. els. When the (demand is brisk tricky mn have been knowni to mix in last year's nuts, which look very well ex ternally, but are mouldy and unfit for use. The best Connecticut chestnuts always bring a good price in the cities. -Uickory nuts there is not so much de mnand for, and no prices are given. Bar'gains made at the time of sale de pend upon the quality of the goods. Irona in Aroiteltre. Th le construction of a thecatr'e in Londoni eintirely of iron, within as wvell as without, Is exciting munch comment, and it augments the discus sion of the part iron is to play inm thme architecture of thme future. For the exterior iron Is objectionable, since it warps when exposed toa high tempera.. tune, and is therefore fatal to a building in imnediate proximity to a great coni flagrationi. It is not desirable to have the numiber of iron fronts along Broad way or other streets increased, but the use of iron for tihe interior of struct ure?s de:,1gned to be fireproof might with advantage be nmuchn extended. Builders have only begun to understanid Its value for Interior finishing and orna mentation. The Interior of thme Temple Court building gives a hint as to wh~at mIght be done in the substitution of iron for wood in .interlor work. 'There is no reason why a particle of wood should be introduced Into great busi ness structur~es and apartment houses which need to be thoroughly fireproof, and oven in private buildmnga the use of iron for interior work Is likely to increase as soon as artists: devote pro per attention to its adaptation for decorative service. The cities of a coun'try' which sacilflies $0,000.000 a year in the flames ought not to be slow to recognize the advantage of a more extensive useo of Iron i amhbitaoturem Strauge Footfalls. Nearly every nelghborhood in Obi oigo has its ghost sensation, an.1 th preoinot surrounding Douglas avenu and Thtrty-fiith street is not going t be left in the lurch. His etherea highnoss sent his introductory cards t, the family of Mr. J. Meilstrup, an sjnce then has been trying to keep ul tho acq'nintance. There is considera blo mystery surrounding the affair, a< thougn no one really believes that it i any ghostly manifestatio:1, yet the man; reputabl.) persons who have heard th, sounds eminating from scemingly no particular point in the houso in quel tion cannot expliin it. The house is white frame building standing alo.o o; the corner of Danglas avenuo an( Thirty-fifth street, and is owned by thi estate of J. Gudergahu, a German wh< died insano in the house. Le left i family conristing of brothers and sisters and a wife and several sons. The lat ter relatives refuse to live in the lious on account of h3 stories told abou ghosts, and of a man having boon mur dered there some time ago. Mr. Mcil. strup, present occupant, came to Ohion go last spring and opened a grocorl store at 125 Thirty-lifth street. 11 moved into the house throo monthi ago. On the dato named above he wal sitting with his wife and child about 1r o'clock that night, when ho heard i steady tramping, as though some on< was clinabing up the stairs Joading fron the basenieut, which was unoccupied Ho quietly raised a window, called ove: to a special watchman named Head, anm waon ho came across Meilstrup went be low, carrying a revolver. He adinitte' the othller and told him he thought thero were burglars in the house. The' searched all over, but could flil no oni and the doors were looked as usual 'ho noiso continued that Wedneada' night. Aoils trap employe'I watchmen and they occupied the house the 'noxi two nights. The ,oands continued ant no ono could locate tuem. The watch men would sit right at the head of th basement stairs, and yet the gliostl steps seomed to co no up, up, up t hi steps right to them. It was thougal that som boys were playing tricks, at a watchman was put outside the housi and one inside, and the third night, when the sounds waro neard, the ont aiside fired a bullet from a 88 calibr( revolver directly through the door Il mnado a hole as large as a inan's thumb, but no mortal fortu felt iti cffects. Tat ile ghost ceased his walks then. Thern have been many people about awaiting the sounds, and one young man namet DemnpSay, employed in a wholesal grocery house, corner of Wabash ave nue and L tis street, corrob6thtes al that is told.

On Brush street, near Jefferson ave. nue, Detroit, for an hour the other day 0 a bruised and battered dumb watch and 0 chain lay in the gutter, where some 3 foot had kicked it from the walk, if ,I anyone gave the toy a second glance it - was to realize that some child had lost or flung it away. The casewas battered, P the face scratched and scarred, and no body would turn aside to pick it up. By and by a curious procession came a up from the Brush street depot, It r was composed of a man and his wife, 3 bath past 50 years of age, and four ) children, tLe youngest of whom seemed to be about 12. They were spread out : a on walk and street, heads down and r moving slowly, and there was a look of anxiety on every face. Some one asked 3 the man if he had lost his wallet, and he replied: "No, not that. Somewhere as we oame along we lost our Jamie's watch." -'Vory valuable?"
