8 THE WILSON ADVANCE: JULY 16, 1896. COME UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS. Come up tnto the mountains, come up into the blu-jl- Oh, friend down in the valley, the way is clear for you! ; The path ia full of perils and devious, but your feet May safely thread it3 windings and reach to my retreat. The mountains, oh, the mountains! How all . the ambient air Bends like a benediction and all the soul is " prayer! How blithely on this summit the echoing wind's refrain Invites us to the mountains, God's eminent domain! Oh, soul below in valleys where aspirations ; rise No higher than the plunging of water fowl that flies, "- ; Come up into the mountains, come up into the blue! Leave weary leagues behind you the lowland's meaner view, The. autumn's rotting verdure, the sapless grasses browned ; Come where tht3-snows are lilies that bloom" the whole year round. Here in the subtle spirit of all these climbing j. hills tlan may achieve his dreaming and ,be the thing he wills! Joseph Dana Miller in Munsey's. A FAIRY TALE. A fisherman was living in a humble cabin with his wife Stora. One day aft er having uselessly spent several hours on the river bank he suddenly pulled from the water an immense fish with gold scales and a gold crown . on its head. i 4 'Ah ! -' ' cried he. 4 4 Here 's a fine catch. I will take it to the king; He will cer tainly pay me generously for it. ' ' : But the fish said: "Give me xny liberty. ' I am an enchanted prince and can accom plish any wish you may express. ' . 4 4 All right, " good naturedly replied the; fisherman. 4 'This is the first . time I have ever heard a fish talk, and that in itself is proof of your claim. " Dropping the fish into the water, he returned to his cabin to tell the adven-. ture to his wife, i 4 What!'' cried she. 44And from that fish, who no doubt has the power of a fairy, you demanded nothing?" ' I 44 No, ' ' said the fisherman. 44 It did not occur to me. Anyway what could I have asked for?" "What!" she exclaimed. "When we are here in . a miserable cabin! You might at least have asked for a cottage! Go back. Ho is under obligations to you. You saved hii life. He can refuse you nothing. " The meek and humble fisherman was not at all anxious to make Is the attempt, but finally giving way to iis wife's de termination he went to; the water's edge and called : "Fish of gold ! Royal fish!".- .. 4 'Wily do you call me?." asked the fish. .. : ' I - . ' "Alas, " replied the timid fisherman, "I am obeying my wife, who does not always think as I do." 44 And what dees she wish at present?' ' ' said the fish kihdy. "Ah, " he' replied sadly, "she is not satisfied witli our small cabin and wishes a larger one.'' , ' - - : "Very welL -Return home and you will find yoiir wish accomplished. " Ift fact, in place of the, miserable cabin was a beautiful cottage. - Stora was sitting radiantly happy on a bench in front cf the dopr. Taking her hus band by the hand, she saidj "Just come and sec how beautif ul it islj" There was a bedroo&i, with a comfortable bed, a . kitchen witbfa complete assortment cf cooking utensils, and near by "a low court, from which came the cackle, of geese and chickens. Then garden full vegetables and an orchard charming?' ' of fruit trees. "Xs it not cried Stora., ! ' ' Yes, indeed, ' ' replied thje astonished fisherman, ajni. both heartiljr rejoiced in their gocd fortune. Fiftce Stora said to her husband thinking tljat we were tod making our wishes known, is. too small, and' there is followed a You am see your head. cried the n days later 'I have been modest in This cottage not a single field joined to the garden. I should like to have a beautiful country residence. " "What folly!" cried her husband. "What would we do with a country resi dence?" ' '.. ;' : .. 4 'Make yeurself easy. I know well cf what, benefit it would be to lis. have nothing to do buttoag friend, the golden fish. " The poor fisherman, hot being able to resist, went jout with bowed 44 Why do you call me?' crowned fish. ! ;. 4 4 Alas, ' ' replied the fisherman, "I come -in obedience to my jvife, whose wishes are not always in accord with mine." . - ' . ""What does she want now?" "She thinks she would like a beauti ful country residence. " . 14 All right. Your wish is accomplish ed." . ; . - ' ', I. . The fisherman, thanking him, turned homeward. To his 'surprise, he found .. before him a large house with court, granaries and stables. His wife, waiting .for him in her loveliest Sunday dress, led him into their new home. Here was the master's room and there !a large one for the servants. The chimney was full Of hams. Not far off was the milkhouse and near by a granary full ofj wheat. In - the stable were many beautiful cows. There was a pigeon house on j the roof of the shed, which was well filled with fat sheep, and a; couple of stores were on the chimneO Around the house were gardens,.. fields and prairies. "Is this not a delightful place?" enthusiastically x inquired Stora... j " 4 'Yes,'' replied the fisherman, 4 4 See lhaj; we Uye here in peacejf A few cfays passed, when one morning Stora said to her husband: 4 'It is indeed a good'--thing ''"to. have a country house like this, but we can do better. We can have a chateau and live I as nobles do. This is what ycu must demand of your magic fish, who is in your debt for life itself." : v; i - ' "No, indeed, " said the fisherman. "Certainly not. I will not make this ad ditional demand of him. ! He would be angry, and he would have good cause. " "Oh, I beg cf you, " ; implored his wife, "go to him again. He will refuse you now," with a sweep of her hand in cluding half y a dozen very frightened looking little rats of children. Mary was thinking all the time that she did not like scolding mothers I and brothers and sisters who were unpleasant and very dirty. j 14 Antonio," insisted Carmen to the big .Mexican, her husband, who sat smoking his pipe with great calmness, 'tell the girl that she cannot leave the house; that she shall never see the American woman's face again. " "I am going now," Mary said. 44 I shall never leave my sweet lady until she tells me to go. She needs me. She has told me that she needs me. " 4 4 She has taught my daughter to dis obey her mother.' You shall not go. It is my right, the obedienco ofmy chil dren!" screamed Carmen. But bythis time Mary was running down the street laughing. ;The big An tonio went on snjoking, and the neigh bors came out cf their houses to see Car men and her unruly child. ? 4 4 Come back!" shouted the inother. But Mary always turned her laugh ing head and cried, 4 'No, no !" . .';,,., j . '.'.. "May I tell you all about it?" Mary said one morning. -1 "All about what?" asked Dcra, and Mary cried: "Oh, he most wonderful, thing has " happened, the most magnifi cent thing. My cousin, who' is awidovr, mourns no longer. Her house is a fine place, as big as these two rooms. The floor of her house is not like the earth floor of the house of my father. It is a floor of beards, all smooth planks. Last night my cousin came out of her mourn ing. A great dance she gave to us alh If ycu could see cur; Spanish dances! We have egg shells hollow5, gilded egg shells.' And, you .'see, we arc to break the shells on the head cf thq ciio that is most dear to us. The girls are4o break them cn the heads cf the men, and the men on the heads cf the girls. And all the men have broken their shell? cn my head. And the American man he, too, has covered my hair with gold. See, sec!" and blushing cruelly she held down her head, which sparkled with fine gilt dust. j There were more dances, and this was not the last time that the gold glittered in 'the girl's hair. j "It is ominous, " Dora said to her husband. 4 'J am afraid that Mary has discovered that she is beautiful. " . "What is she going to do when wc go away?" asked Robert. " What is going to becomecf her?" ) 4 4 How serious you are," laughed Dora. "I suppose she will go back to her laundrv. " At the end cf the season!, when the Englands went north again,) Dcra gave Mary many pretty gifts. When she got into the train, she held the baby up for Mary to kiss and 'wa? quite 'frightened at the look on tli3 girl's faco. "... "It seems a pity," Robert said. ' A good deal might have been clone with her, poor little pitiful thing!" And the train moved oil, and Maiy went out cf tho station. But she did not !go back to the adobe homo of Antonio ankl Carmen. ; When Mrs. England . hoard: cf .it, she cried a little, and she did lict lock in her husband's face that day cr the liex; day. Niva Sedgeley told her. j Nivu was not surprised. And in the iinei.niirae Horace Dulaney staid on at .the big hotel until the hot weather drove him away. Etta Ramsdell Goodwin in Argonaut. The Sleeve. What is It that, in fearful size, . That ever grows as time takes flight, In myriad shapes and widespread rage, Is quite the wonder of the age? T The modern sleeve. What is it gives the best pretexts ; For glances that reveal the heart, For lover's nothings, whispered low, When into coat sleeve it must go? The modern sleeve. What is it that makes social feuds, Imbitters tempers once most sweet, When in last winter's jacket small Must go the largest of them all? The modern sleeve. What is it that promotes our trade And makes the merchant's heart grow light?- The cease less strife for fashion 'u sake. The countless lengths and breadths that make i The modern sleeve. What is it fills the theater seat, And at the concert or the play One rival has the theater hat And comes in size quite up to that? The modern sleeve.: What is it that will bring about An era of colossal things , If other parts must fashioned be In like proportions as we see The modern sleeve? New York Sun. Pay of Former Contributors. Coleridge took at times an exaggerat ed view of his services to The Morning Chronicle. His surprising statement that. Stuart in 1800 offered him 2,000 a year if he would devote himself to journalism, -that he declined on the ground that he would not give up 44the reading of eld folios' ' for twenty times 2,000," and that he considered any pay beyond $350 as a real evil, is obviously impossible. , Stuart probably tried to spur his indolent contributor by saying that his services would be worth some such sum if they could be made regular. But the statement is only worth notice here in illustration cf the state of the literary market at the time. Southey ac knowledges his gratitude for the guinea a week which he received as Stuart's "laureate. " Poetry, by the way, appears to have been more in demand then than at the present day. Both Perry and Stuart's j cider brother offered to employ Burns, ! and Coleridge, Southey, Campbell and Moore all published poems in the. news papers. Lamb tried his hand at "jokes. " 4 'Sixpence . a joke, ' ' he says "and it was thought pretty high, too was Dan Stuart's settled remuneration in these cases. " . ' '. . The high water mark of a journalist's earnings at the end of the last century is probably marked by the achievement of Mackintosh, who earned 10 guineas in a week. "No paper could stand it!" exclaimed the proprietor, and the bar- gain had to be revised. A few year3 later,' however, we are told that Ster ling, the father cf Carlyle's friend, was receiving the sum which Coleridge sup posed himself to have refused, namely, 2,000 a year for writing leading arti cles in The Times.- National Review.
