Tf hen spring was young and life was new, Lovo was our only friend and guide ; Sweet were the bowers He led us through, And sweet our going side by side. Then summer came, a golden flood, . And still we followed hand in hand ; Love was the music In our blood, And love the glory of the land. Rich autumn fell, and winter drove The fruity ripeness from the air ; But wrapped in warm soft robes of love, What recked we it the world was bare? So round again we come to spring, -Strong for another year's emprise ; The birds are whist to hear us sing, The sun is dazzled by our eyes. For, hand in hand, where'er we go, Earth under foot and Heaven above, Love is tho only life we know, And every breath we breathe is love. Maurice Thompson. TRUE AS STEEL, Just as I was retiring to rest one evening there came to my registry of fice door a gentle, unobtrusive knock. "When my assistant answered the knock and ushered in a poor, bedrag- gled creature, therefore, I was not surprised. But I certainly was astonished when the torn-down looking woman stand ing outside asked me to obtain a situa tion for her as general servant. "Have you any references?" I queried. "No, mam, I am sorry to say I have not." "Then, pray, how do you expect mo to get you a situation?" "Well, I was told that servants were wanted badly and people were not so particular about characters as formerly." ' 'Where do you come from and what is your name?" 'I have just come out of jail. My name is Grace Campion. "About five years ago," she said, "I took a situation as general servant in the household of the postmaster of . The family consisted of my em ployer, his wife, son and two daugh ters. "I had received a good education at our village school, and this put me on terms of equality with the junior members of the family. The daugh ters helped me to do the work ; that is they did the lighter portion. The mother was simply a hardworking cipher. "The postrnan was very fond of company, and every evening at six o'clock he went out for a brisk walk, which generally ended at a certain noted suburban hotel and meeting place for tho local tradesmen. Ho al ways returned in time to get off the heavy post, and then went out again to the Golden Ball Hotel, adjacent, for the remainder of the evening. "The town increased with mushroom-like rapidity, and the postoffi.ee had its work set to keep pace with its fast-growing requirements. My em loyer got another servant to do the heavier portion of the work, and the daughters were almost permanently drafted into the office. "When there was a crush I was called in to help, and, being trust worthy, the money drawers were al ways open to me. "Stanley Gore, my employer's son, began to follow his father's footsteps sadly too soon. His father kept him moderately well supplied with pocket money, but still Stanley often used to borrow a few pounds from me on one pretense or another. . "He generally paid me back again with erreat promptitude. Whether he meant anything or not, he was very handy with his compliments, and from these we got to kisses. ' 'Stanley one day spoke to me on the subject of marriasre. Alter some delay I accepted him. His father, when he heard of the engagment, while he received the announcement coldly, yet raised no barrier. ' 'Just about this time a curious thing took place in the postoffice. There was something wrong with the cash. A test letter containing marked coins had been sent by a departmental detective, and it had not arrived at its destination. Indeed it nad never passed through our office, although the reception of it had been traced to the hands of Stanley Gore. "I overheard the detective declare that he had a search warrant and tha ho should forthwith proceed to put i into execution. I almost flew upstairs to his room, and in less time than it vanes to tell found convincing proofs of his guilt With the intention of destroying the telltale , letter I was rushing down into the kitchen with them in my hands, when who should meet me on his way to Stanley's room but the detective. "The officer recognized the test let- ter at a glance, and by a quick move- ment on his part snatched it from me .before I could recover from my sur- prise he had mv arms mnionedin such - " I a way that I was entirely in his power, "For Stanley's fiake I went quietly with him. When outside he called a cab, and in a few minutes afterward I found myself in the cells at the police office. "Next morning when tho newspa- pers, whose reporters had picked up the information at the police office gave full particulars of the robbery and arrest, public opinion was very I much divided on the subject. Some people believed I was guilty and oth ers inclined to a contrary opinion. "All doubts were, however, set at rest wnen 1 pleaded guilty to stealin the letter and its contents. The other charges were then dropped. "The Gores took no notice of me, fully believing I was the base woman I had pleaded guilty to being. The day I was sentenced, however, just as the warder in charge was asking me to step down from the dock, I looked around and saw among the crowd in the court the white, agonized face of Stanley Gore. "Soon afterward Stanley disap peared, after giving formal notice of his intention and making all arrange ments to go abroad. He has not been heard of since. "His family will have nothing to do with me, although I told his father privately the real history of the rob- bery. He simply said I was lyin 'bi ft rr and that Stanley had left home through being disappointed in not obtaining the hand of a certain manufacturer's daughter who had, in fact, married a dear friend of his. "Now, then, after hearing my story, will you try to obtain a situation for me?" "Yes, I will; for somehow or other, the conviction forces itself on me that you are telling mo the truth." One day a retired farmer who wanted a housekeeper, owing to the death of his wife, agreed to take Cam- yion at a small wage. . My common sense told me that a woman who could sacrifice so much on the altar of love must be a good and trustworthy sort of person. I was not deceived. There was a great surprise in store one day when, about two years after Campion had become honsekeeper, she invited me to her marriage with her employer. The couple were very happy together, and many a day I spent in the country since at their joint invitation. Some time afterward I had a letter from Grace saying that she had re ceived a communication from a so licitor in Canada, who had obtained her nameiand address from the post master, to say that Stanley Gore had willed the sum of $25,000 to her, for her sole use, and that he had made a full confession of his crime, which was duly attested. Campion sought my advice in the matter. When I went over to see her she was in a terrible state of agitation. "I would not like my husband know for worlds that I had been in prison." "Still," I answered,, "I think it would be wise to let him know. Sure ly if he is a man he will respect you the more for it. Tell him all." "I really can ndt do so." 'Leave it to me then. I will tell him." The farmer was called in and Grace retired to another room. The man was much surprised when I told him the story of his wife and her suffer ings. Like the true man I thought he was he admired her the more for it, and when I called Grace into the room again, he ran to her, lifted her up in his great brawny arms and smothered her with kisses. . Feared Burial Alive. The testament of Mary "Ann Fisher, who died a few weeks ago, admitted to probate this morning, contains many peculiar features. v The decedent left property valued at about $6,000, and goes into some details relative to her funeral. She had always ex pressed a fear of being buried alive, and in order to avert such occurrence, she inserted in the instrument the fol lowing clause : "I direct that my ex ecutors cause my body to be kept at least four days after my decease, and that before my burial my death shall be assured by causing the physician to sever the arteries in my feet, or to use such other means as may be suffici ent to obviate all danger of my" being buried alive. - "T ulan iliroM. W. if 1o T " " e vj i be livinc at the time of mv decease she shall be humanely put to death by my physician, her body placed in a neat black - covered box, inclosed in a cedar case, and laid at my feet in my vault" She also directed a certain portrait to be taken from a frame, rolled up, and placed in her coflin and buried with her. Finally after giving minute directions concerning the placing of her body in the family vault, and the I final disposition of the remains of her- self and other occupants of the vault in case their removal became, neces sary at any time, the testatrix re quested that her own remains be em- balmed. rhilauelphia Telegraph. Loudest Noise Ever Heard. The explosion of tho great volcano of Krakatoa in the East Indies, is the louaest noise oi wnicn we nave any record. The littlo Island of Kraka- toa lies in the 6trait of Sunda,betwecn Sunatra and Java. On August 27, 1883, there occurred a tremendous eruption, which shivered the island to fragments. The explosions were so violent that to the citizens of Batavia, nine-four miles distant, they sounded like the discharge of artillery in the streets of the city, and the people could not sleep in their beds. At Carimon, in Java, 355 miles away, tho noises sounded like the firing of great guns, and the authorities sent out boats to ascertain it tnero were any ships in distress. The sounds reached Macassar, in Celebes, a distance of 969 miles, and two steamers were de spatched, to see if help was needed by ships in danger. Even in West Aus- tralia the explosions were heard. On the Victoria Plains, 1,700 miles dis tant, the shepherds were startled by sounds like the discharge of heavy artillery. The fine dust ejected by the volcano was carried all round the globe, and produced brilliant sunsets in England itself Yankee Blade. Hunting Mountain Sheep. "Did you ever hunt mountain sheep?" inquired Colonel Henderson of Nevada. "It's great sport, but generally pretty tiresome. These an imals seek the most elevated peaks of the mountains, feeding on tho bunch grass, lichens, and most that grow on the rocks, and very rarely descends into tho valleys below. It is always the object of the hunter to get abovo his game if possible when in pursuit of mountain sheep, for they aro so quick of eye, ear, and foot, that if he meets them on the same level with himself he stands but little chance of bagging his game. So he strives to get above them. When this is accomplished a stone thrown down among them, will suffice to frighten them, and they will immediately begin ascending the mountain, and as they cannot scent the hunter wno lies concealed in am bush above them, they will then fall J g,n easy prey to quick and true shots from his Democrat. rifle." St. Louis Globo Utilizing Leather Scraps. Not many years ago the leather scraps and ehavings of the curriers' shops were ground up in the paper mills and made inio leather board for insoles and counters in shoes. Of late years, however, No. 2 leather has been so cheap that it has been made so near the price of the leather board that the latter is no longer a marketable com moditv. In tanneries and currier shops the leather shaving3 and trim mings are now used for fuel in stoves and furnaces and under boilers, with tan. For this purpese they are more valuable than wood for producing heat. San Francisco Examiner. How Sweet! Clarrissa So ho has proposed. Did you accept him? ; Ethel Yes ; I took pity on him.

Tho skirt of ono seen in an uptown estab lishment, was a rich black leather silk, with lace ilouncing carried round tho skirt in scallops, and headed by a double row of small jet paillettes over lapping each other. This jet galon is broueht up each seam to tho waist. and gives the skirt a most finished ap- pearance. Tho brocade has & black ground and clond-liko motifs in green, pink and gold. This has been made up with a stiff, long waixt, infinitely becoming. At tho neck there was a cape, placed at tho back of tho gown, co.t up the centre into two, and bound witn narrow bands of tho colors of tho silk, laid one above the other, while tho front had folding revcrs, trimmed in tho same way, with laco over them, and softening them gTeatly. The sleeves were large, but not preposter ously so. New York World. MAOSETISM OF A HAlRriX. If a woman wanta to rivet all mas culine eyes sho haa only to buy a new msgazino and cut tho leaves with a hairpin. Wholo car loads of steady business men, not easily impressed with tho frivolities of woman, haro been held spellbound by this littlo act. Passengers on tho suburban trains have been unable to 'tear themselves from the contemplation of tho process, and havo sat still with troubled but watchful eyes, as they heard their station called. Tho other day the writer saw at least twenty men watch ing with breathless interest tho hair pin method of magazine cutting, as practiced by a very swell young wo man, who was apparently unconscious of the scrutiny which followetl her every movement. When sho finally replaced the hair pin in her fluffy locks every man of the twenty gave a sigh and then looked sheepishly at his neighbor. As for tho young woman she turned to look out of tho window, but there was a covet look of amused satisfaction in her eyo which intimated that her unconsciousness of observa tion had been in appearance only. New York Advertiser. ANNUITIES FOB BINOLS W01TEX. The question of providing annuities for daughters, after tho. English and French manner, is being discussed in Philadlphia, which city has a largo contingent of attractive unmarried young women. It is assorted that these annuities can now bo had in this country, as abroad, and it. is pointed ont that one bought and kept np for a term of years, and pcrhsps increased, secures comfort and independence to the daughter who docs not marry. Considering tho same topio from another standpoint, tho Boston Home Journal speaks of a society for this purpose that has long been in operation throughout Denmark and works well and profitably. "The general outline of tho plan, it seems, is that a lsdy who does not feel sure that she means to be married or wants to be married should pay an annual premium to the central odes; hs rsctiyii a fora of policy, dolj tx ecutcd, and upon cotJitioa that aht pars her annual premiums with Ttn larity, tho will receive, at the age of forty, a round sum, proportion! to the extent of her investments and with probably certain bonuset' xt BCTTOSfS EEiast Large buttons and small one, tho inexpensive and the costly, all aid la adorning tho latest gown. A dainty littlo French walking costume, jail imported, is trimmed almost exclus ively with buttons. They are small and of exquisitely tinted mother-of-pearl. Ladies cloth in the new skado of rose paase is tho material used. Tho skirt is rather odd. though it l deaigned with tailor-made simplicity. It hangs straight and full, whilo from tho belt in front thrco cloth tabs aro suspended. The middle one is tho rith longest, and each is rcsrdendent rows of mother-of-pearl buttons. Near the bem tho cloth tabs aro again brought into nae. They aro arranged dugonally around the bottom of tho kfrt s a trimming. Tho waist is a Norfolk jacket with n elaborate collar. , Tho jacket is - laid in plaits and finished al tho waist lino by a belt of cloth. Tho sleeve is a drooping puff from tho shoulder to tho elbow. It clings to the arm from tho elbow down and fastens near tho wrist with six tiny "buttons and but tonholes. The collar is known as tho Russian, but differs very littlo from wido spreading curved rcvers. Its foundation is cloth covered with had ed moire antique, which holds in its creamy background tints of rose and P1 At tho neck is a fluff of laco arranged like a jabot.
