UNREST.
The farther you journey and wander
From the sweet,simple faith of youryouth,
The more you peer into the yonder
And search for the root of all truth,
No matter what secrets uncover
Their vailed mystic brows in your quest,
Or close on your astral sight hover,
Still, still shall you walk with unrest.
If you seek for strange things you shall find
them,
But the finding shall bring you to grief;
The dead lock the portals behind them,
And he who breaks through is a thief.
Thesoul with such ill-gotten plunder
With its premature knowledge oppressed,
Shall grope in unsatisfied wonder
Always by the shores of unrest.
Though bold hands lift up the thin curtain
That hides the unknown from our sight;
Though a shadowy faith becomes certain
Of the new light that follows death's night;
Though miracles past comprehending
Shall startle the heart in your breast,
Still, still will your thirst be unending,
And your soul will be sad with unrest.
There are truths too sublime and too holy
To grasp with a mortal mind's touch.
We are happier far to be lowly;
Content means not knowing too much.
Peace dwells not with hearts that are yearn
ing To fathom all labyrinths unguessed,
And the soul that is bent on vast learning
Shall find with its knowledge unrest.
Ella W. Wilcox, in the Weekly.
HER TRIUMPH.
Our city was so small and the pipe
organ so large that it was an elephant oa
our bauds, as good organists had to be
hired from other cities at large expense,
the ouly player in Hubbard being the
one who manipulated the Presbyterian
organ, which instrument we had tried to
outshiue. We were Methodists.
At the end of two years, during which
we had endured any number of organ
ists, good, bad and indifferent (mostly
the latter), I was delighted one summer
Sunday morning, upon entering the
church, to hear real music, and surveyed
with some curiosity the small figure of a
young woman about twenty years old on
the organ stool. She did not attempt
anything intricate, but the music was all
majestic, soulful, religious.
A few weeks later, one the trustees
asked me if we could give the new or
ganist a room at our house, adding that
possibly sister and myself might find her
a pleasant companion in our little home.
She had heen in town about six months,
writing in an insurance office, but she
objected to a boarding house and wished
to get into a private family.
She came to us quietly, every inch a
lady. You might not call her pretty,
but she had speaking eyes which made
you forget everything else when she
looked at you. They were bright when
she was in conversation, but I soon
noticed that when she was not animated
they were sad, and I fell to wondering
what sorrow had befallen her so early in
life. She was pleasant and helpful but
not confidential, and nothing eventful
occurred until just after the holidays
wheu she came in quite excited, saying
that one of her young friends at home
was to be married the next week, and she
had leave of absence for a fortnight.
She had said very little about her family,
but I kuew she had sent them a Christ
mas box, so if I thought anything of her
emotion, it was for the joy of going
home.
It wa3 surprising the vacancy she
left in our house, and you may be sure
we welcomed her return with much
warmth. But though she evidently ap
preciated our feelings toward her, I ob
served that she was making a great effort
to control herself. Thinking she was
suflering from homesickness, I rapped at
her door in the evening to ask if she
cared for my society a little while. She
was weeping so violently that she could
scarcely speak, and when I put my arm
about her she burst out :
"O, Miss Van Zandt, if I could only
talk to you to some one who would
help me to bear it and tell me what
to do! O dear! O dear!"
By soothing words and pats, I assisted
her to something liY-.e calmness, and
vehVLt I did not urge her to talk, sha
understood that my sympathies were
with her.
Finally she told me that she had had
warm feelings toward a young man two
vears her senior, since she was sixteen,
but that he had tired of her apparently,
or being influenced by another young
lady. For a year she suffered torments
at home, and then came to Hubbard to
see whether time and absence would not
kill her affection or bring back his. It
seemed to have done neither, for she had
met him at the wedding she had just at
tended, and although he had expressed
pleasure at meetingther again, he did not
seek her society andhis time was occu
pied with her rival. Aid so she felt her
long trip had been fort naught, and while
her judgment told herito forget him, her
rebellious heart clung to her girlhood's
lover.
What could I say to comfort her?
Nothing, excepting that God knew
best, and probably that this great dark
ness was but the forerunner of a glorious
dawu.
After this she spent most of her time
after tea playing the organ at the church,
and I believe it was a soothing outlet for
her pent up feelings. I often went into
church to enjoy the exquisite melody
which floated out under her fingers.
Sometimes she used such selections as
Gottschalk's "Serenade," Jungmann's
'Hemweh," or Marstou's "Slumber
Song," but more frequently it wa? her
own improvisation.
One evening through the dusk I dis
cerned another listener, who, however,
slipped away before I could identify him.
This occurred several times, until I placed
myself where I could see his face as he
passed, when I recognized him as Law
rence Roberts, whom I had known from
boyhood. He had recently been ap
pointed a teacher of science in the High
School, and wise men said he was des
tined to make his mark in some college.
In May the cantata of "Esther" was
given at our theatre. It was not worn so
threadbare then, and though it was on
the boards every lfht for a week, the
house was always crowded, aud families
came up by the wagon-load from all the
surrounding villages and cross-roads.
To Miss Hunt was assigned the char
acter of Zerah, and I expect nevei to en
joy a rendition of it so much again. She
had often sung to me in ihe evening, ac
companying herself on our little organ,
and while I thought her voice musical
and pleasing, still it had a girlish quality
and lacked power. But this rich con
tralto which rolled over the audience and
sobbed and thrilled could that belong
to our Louise? Yes, through her great
heart-sorrow had come her voice, beauti
ful, womanly, refined.
All the women were in tears and many
of the men showed emotion, while I,
who loved her and nnderstood her long
ing, wept uncontrollably. It did not seem
as though she could keep up that tension
another night, but every evening of the
cantata witnessed that same fervor and
the same effect on her audience. Sunday
she wa3 prostrated, and her organ posi
tion for that day was filled by another.
In the fall, a year after she came to our
house, she told me that her mother had
moved to another city aud had sent for
her. The evening previous to her de
parture, Lawrence Roberts called to see
her, as he had frequently done lately.
Other friends came to bid her good-bye,
and as I stepped into the garden to call
her, I heard her say
"You have been very kind to me, but
I never suspected it would come to this.
Tell me truly, I have not given you false
encouragement, have I?"
As he answered in the negative, I called
her name, delivered my message, and
started for the house. They followed
me, and as the air was so still, I could
not avoid hearing her last words :
"Under any other circumstance I
would not tell you what now you should
know; my heart was years ago given to
another and" in a whisper, "rejected."
I parted from her witb-regret, and we
kept up a correspondence for some time.
Then I lost track of her.
Last week I met a gentleman who is
an old friend both of Louise and her boy
J lover, Clinton Hadley. He related to
me this finale:
"One evening I attended a lnusicale
given by a New York lady noted for her
high-class soirees, and there met Hadley,
whom I had not seen in several years.
He looked as handsome as ever, but a
trifle bored. We were talking over past
events, when I suddenly said: 'Did
you know, Clint, that your old girl,
Louise Hunt, is on the programme to
night V
"He started. 'No! Why, she did
not have much of a voice when I knew
her. What has she been doing all these
years? She must be let me see twenty
eight now. Quite an old maid, eh? '
"And he laughedTisagreeably.
'Well, you are an old bateh., which
is just as bad. I have not heard Louise
sing, but I know that she is creating en
thusiasm wherever she goes, both on ac
count of her voice and her charming
manners. She has been studying with
fine instructors and ha9 a salaried position
in a church choir.'
"Hadley wa3 thinking, and I knew he 1
was recalling his youthful experience, so
I let him think. Between you and me,
I thought he deserved to be troubled, fo:
he had courted her persistently two years
or more, and as soon as she showed affec
tion for him, had thrown her over, just
as he did later with other young ladies
"The whole musicale was very enjoy,
able,but Louise carried off the palm. I felt
Hadley start when she came forward,!
email but dignified, gracious a3 a queen
and twice a9 lovable. And such eyes !
"Her first number was an aria, 'O
Don Fatale,' from Le Prophet,' and
Hadley had scarcely recovered from his
dazed wonderment, when her second
8ong was due, an English ballad called
Faithful.
" 'Friendship has failed us. old trust has
gone,
Love that was dawning is dead;
Life and its sunshine are clouded o'er,
Aye, for the past has fled.
You will forget, and our story will seem
The dream of a summer day,
Bnt I shall remember its golden light
When years shall have passed away.
I thought you loved me once,
1 deemed the story true';
The dream has gone,
The love has rlown.
But still I am faithful to you?
" 'Ent where the world has sunj'you of sor
row, Hiding its golden beam,
Then, love, I pray that you my remember
L Just once again our dream !
And when the angels guide you to Heaven,
O'er the dividing sea,
Look on the shore and give me this wel
Z come,
"I know you are faithful to me !"
4 thought you loved me once,
'I deemed the story true;
When shadows fall,
And love is all.
You'll know I was faithful to you!'
"Could it be possible that she knew
her old-time love was to hear her, and
was she singing to him? Hadley looked
as though he thought so, and under cover
of the prolonged applause he grasped me
eagerly, saying-
' ' I want to meet her !'
"He had still that waked-up look on
his face when later in the evening I
said :
" 'Louise, allow me to present an old
acquaintance.'
"Too accustomed to all kinds of sur
prises to be taken off her guard, she offered
him her gloved hand in a charming man
;ntr, saying:
" 'Good evening, Mr. Hadley, this is
an unexpected pleasure.'
"But he said, still holding her hand:
" 'Louise, may I speak with you
alone?'
" 'Certainly,' and they stepped into
an alcove, where he began:
" 'Louise, O, Louise! what a shame
that we ever had any trouble? To-night
you have brought up all the happy past,
and I plead with you to forget all my un
kindness and stupidity, and let us begin
where we were before
" 'Excuse me, Mr. Hadley. nad it
not been for that trouble, I would not
have my voice,and as to beginning again,
why, here comes my husband, and you
will have to ask his permission. Mr.
Hadley, Professor Roberts Detroit

The Supercilious Camel.
Speaking of the wonders of the Nile,
the Illustrated American says: "And of
the animals the camel alone has any disa
greeable self-consciousness. He is a
most supercilious animal. He cannot
forget that he came out of the prehistor
ic past; his haughty bearing seems to
be a continual reminder of the fact that
before even the pyramids, before the
Sphinx in the remote ages when Egypt
was not he was. He is most royally
ugly. Nay, he abuses the privilege of
royalty to be ugly. No King, no Queen,
no Prince, no Princess in business or out
would dare to be half as ugly. Like
most royal personages, he has little in
telligence, and so it comes about that
this heir of all the age3 has become the
slave of the parvenus he disdains. Nay,
he has even adopted the religion of his
conquerors. He is a true Moslem in his
passiveness, in his calm acceptance of
fate. He ha3 neither emotions nor
opinions, neither hopes nor fears. He
remembers that Abraham could not or
would not right his wrongs; he expects
nothing from Lord Salisbury. If he
could speak, 'Kismet!' would be his
favorite expression."

FASHIONABLE FCTtS.
Persian lamb and Astrakhan furs are
in high tide of favor this season, the
distinction between the two being, ol
course, that the lamb is lamb, the soft,
closely curled fur of the young animal,
and very costly; while the Astrakhan is
the fur of the sheep and much less
valuable. Real Persian lamb is often
more expensive than sealskin, and is
especially handsome for the fur bindings
ol tailor-made costumes, and for borders
as well as for sleeves of stylish jackets.
The gray krimmer, which is so beautiful
for dressy occasions, is the undyed Per
sian lamb, and les3 expensive than the
dyed fur, though not less beautiful, and
it has the natural gray of the young
lamb. It is much worn on gray recep
tion dresses, and is very becoming to
most people. Combinations of fur are
still much worn, especially Persian

A WONDERFUL SHOEMAKER.
Mrs. Pollock, a woman shoemaker of
Pittston, Penn., is earning a com
petency for herself and children. Lef!
a widow with 3 houseful of children to
provide for she at first went out washing
for a living, but came to the conclusion
that she would make more money at the
cobbler's bench. She had some knowl
edge of the trade, having assisted her
husband when hard pushed, and trusting
to practice to make perfect she hung out
her sign and waited for customers. At
first she was boycotted by the male cob
blers in the town, but she indulged freely
in printer's ink, made a cut in prices and
secured a good run of customers. Al
first she received no sympathy from the
women, who ridiculed her for trying to
co a man's work. "When the news of
the boycott became known the wealthy
women of the town took an interest in
the case and brought shoes to the woman
shoemaker to be mended. She now
doe3 a good business, has sent all hei
children to school and has recently hired
a man as assistant. She says that she
earns from $14 to $20 a week at her
trade. New Orleans Times-Democrat. '
NEW FABRICS.
Nearly all the new woolens are of wide
widths, averaging from forty-four to
forty-nine inches, and they cut to far
better advantage. Many rough effects
are introduced into the checks flecks ol
white and knots of black, all apparently
a part of the weaving especially in
homespun?, which present a hazy surface,
the two or three tones blending into each
other. Many of the cheviots show the
same effects, together with rough and
shaggy checks. Some of the surfaces are
soft to the touch, like vicuna, and the
varieties in the checks are endless.
A new fabric is "poile." It is checked
and striped, and the patterns differ great
ly; some very fine, with large black
checks, while others have astrachan
stripes and multi-color3 peeping frorr
amid hair lines of black on a fawn and
brown ground. Many of these darke:
stuffs are relieved by pin lines of brighl
colors which relieve the sombreness with
out asserting themselves.

brightest and prettiest rhododendor

Canada Enlists an Army of Pigeons.
Canada has quite recently established
an organized system of messenger pigeon
stations throughout the dominion, ex
tending from Halifax to Windsor and
connecting her principal seaports with
the interior. General D. R. Cameron,
director of the Messenger Pigeon Associa
tion, in speaking of the utility of the
service, says: "I am of opinion that a
most important branch of the pigeoa
.service will be conuected with the coast
service. The evidence that these birds
can be relied upon to cross 400 miles of
the ocean is apparently thoroughly re
liable." A report from Halifax states
that it is proposed to put Sable Island in
communication with the mainland bj
means of carrier pigeons. Thi3 locality
has always been regarded as one of the
most dangerous points on the coast, and
wrecked mariners have sometimes been
stranded on the island for weeks without
being able to communicate with those
who might rescue them. Scientific

Sawdust Building Material.
A German scientist claims that by
means of an acid process he can convert
sawdust into a material firm in texture
and extremely hard, impenetrable by a
gimlet or drill, more impervious to tho
action of the elements than the ordinary
mtals or the common building stones,
and practically indestructible by fire. It
is claimed to be stronger than timber for
joists and girders, and several times
lighter than iron or steel, and, above all,
the cost of manufacture h claimed to be
so low as to bring it into competition
with both wood and iron. Commercial
