THE ANCHOR •‘And do you still long for the old life back tn the stalest" I said, turning to the wife. '■No." elm answered. “No. not now, since the baby died and we buried it out there iu the glli'IlfU!" 't <«. AhSKarWtNT FROM COLORADO. * i $-1 —•— So: whatever ills may come th'the Wmne wherein I stand tn this Rocky Mountain land I am all conteutiuont, for Baby's shadow on this door t 01l not very long ago, And She s buried there, you know, lu the garden, where the Howers Blossom through the summer hours; And my footsteps thither stray Ofter through the long, long day. and I beud down low my oar Sometimes fancying I can hear Baby voices on the air, And a l ist, ns, fa ut yet fair, ■ >f my darling comes to me.— Fat ’t and fair and shadowy As ft from the spirit land She had come awhile to stand w itli me where we used to sit When the birds and bees would tilt tn aud out among the dowel’s Through the happy summer hours. Uaee 1 wanted to go home; -Yea, but now I would not roam; There were days when I was sad E’er my baby wade me glad; When I eastward looked and then Longed to see the home again IV lie it 1 pressed in childish way a All the by-gone childish days, I would listen, I would long For some sweet, familial - song, Aud my eagre eyes would glance O’ei the prairie's wide expanse In the vain hope I should see Some one who was dear to me. But alas! they would not come Bringing cheerful news from home. Husbaiidl yes, he's good and kind But each mon Ing 1 would find It was ''kiss me dear," to go To the follow field below. I was lonesome all the day tn the cabin far awav. Aud it seemed-lt seemed as though All looked dreary here below, Aud —whatever else might ooiue K I oulr could go home I would oiice more happy be. Then, the baby eame, you see! It was something new and strange— O’er the world there eame a change. And life was not half so weary Nor this world half so dreary As I sat and watched her play In the sutiabiue all the day. All the summer long she played, All the summertime she made Happy moments—happy hours— Happy days, as with the flowers and the sunshine on the floor She made home forevermore. Then, if any thought went back To the dd familiar track it was but to let them see What a blessing came lome. Ab! the pain, I feel It still. As I felt it bound and thrill To my very soul the .day Baby in her c radle lay And the doctor came and said Bahr’s home is overhead “Where the gates are pearl and gold, “Aud God’s arms his lambs enfold Iheu my baby went away An 1 her little form we lay In the garden yonder, where I lan da of piiue could daily care For toe wild flowers that would bloom Over.baby’s garden tomb. Now I do not care to go Since my baby lies there low: Thia is betide, Made such when my baby died. And the Anchor from the skies Out there in the garden lies, Binding close and binding fast All my future with the past.” Then across the cabin floor Out beyond the open door Tear dimmed eyes looked out to see Baby’s grave. And then to me Came the thought that love above Cannot equal mother love When the anchor is a child Sinless, stainless, undeflled, Taken from one'home of love Th the other Home above. Gwendoline

A DETECTIVE’S STORY. It was a dark, and rainy day. The dawn had stolen in through the ashen clouds and a dense fog wrapped amend the house and lay ujxm the streets like a winding-sheet. A misty wind steely and cold, now and then would whistle along the wide avenue and rattle the shutterless casements of the old brick bouse. A wild, blustering day was that Tuesday, twenty years ago'; and many a heart shrank with'a strange feeling of hoiror as they read in the morning papers of New Orleans of the tradgedy far down on Chartres street. It was one of those densely crowded districts for which certain localities in that city wete then noted. Mr. p, ami myself had been sent for at an early hour and were among the first to reach the place, where a young girl, in the very flush of her tender womanhood, lay muidered. On a low’ cot, the crimson stain on street and pillow, and the dark hair thrown back like floss of silk, the dead girl lay. Underneath the linen sheer was traced the outline of the slender limbs and rounded form. Full of grace and exquisitely fashioned had the creature been in life. Even ■w ith the seal of death stamped upon face and form, she looked like a child asleep. One almost expected the glorious eyes to open-the long black lashes to lift front the waxen cheek. A smile yet lingered about the lips as sou-bine plays on a cloud sometimes —and the olive tint of the brow and neck still looked like lite. The tears fell like rain as we looked upon the dead—this nameless stranger from a foreign land. None knew whence she came; none knew her history. The house itself had long been deserted —a ruinous building given up toALcay. But oue night the neighbors heard cries of distress, and the piercing wail of a woman in terror the nigbtair; then lights flashed in the windows, ami the palter of running feet was heard on the stairs. Still later in the night, the sound of low music came out on the silent street—and then sobbings, like some one crying—and after this all grew dark, and the quiet unbroken. But in the early dawn some one went * into the old house to search out the mystery. High up they fouud a locked door which defied all efforts to open it. But they’ broke it in at last, and saw’ a poorly-furnished room, and a dead girl lying on the cot. There was nothing in the house o»tside of this room tn show it han ever been inhabited. There was no wardrobe, no dresses ; nothing but the crimson sheets and the linen gown ; and on the floor,near the bed, a bracelet set with diamonds; but it bore no initial mark—a silent jew el, beautiful as the arm it had encircled. There was no clue to be found unless the braielel would lead to oue ; a curious trifle, fashioned like a golden serpent, and the jewels flashing like eyes from the headeven the tongue had a diamond flame and gleamed like a jet of fire. The girl had been stabbed to the heart, and had died w itliout a strugThere was an awful mystery about it I eouid not unravel. To me *t x&twated. Users had been a crime coramitert, which, if revealed, would disclose some terrible purpose that now eouid not be perceived. But nothing could be done as yet. XV e must wait and watch, and this we did. 1 Ueard es a sloop landing below the city a few days before, under the cftr cumstanees that created some suspicion. I determined to look up the parties who had all( j nee if 1 could find some trace

that would help my lnvestiga-|i tions. From thin source I learned that an old man and woman and a < young girl bad landed and the vessel had immediately gone back to sea. Those who had observed its strange conduct then rememberad to have seen it again on the morning of the homicide, at the same place, and the old man and woman were taken on board, but this time they were alone —only the two—the girl was left behind. The fisherman and his wife who told me this, told me, too, that the young lady was richly clad, and the old people appeared to be her servants. What could it mean? On this clew I went to Havana. Sometimes I am led by a strange feeling, which acts as a sort of foreshadow ing of what is to come It was so now. I knew by a sort of intuition that I should find out something about it there. Nor were my impressions deceptive. I did ascertain that such a vessel had left that city, ostensibly on a pleasure excursion, but in reality to spirit away an heiress to an immense estate. The old man aud woman had been bribed by a treacherous uncle to put her out of the way. They had persuaded her to go with them by representing to her the evil designs of her relative, and professed to oe their friends. In this way they succeeded in bringing Ijpr to New Orleans. Their plans had been carefully contrived, and but for the strange whim that led me to Havana, would have proved successful. The false uncle was arrested and tried by a Spanish tribunal for abduction aud murder; the punishment was death. But the real perpetrators I brought back with me. They confessed the homicide, told immediately how the crime was accomplished, and were hung.

CAN ICE CONVEY DISEASE! The Opinion of Medical Men and Chemists on a Matter of Interest to City Folks. The question of the effect upon the people of this city of the enormous quantities of ice consumed durins' the year isone of great importance. The thousands of tons sold in New York city alone would be sufficient to satisfy the wants of many a European state. Experiments having recently been made in Paris to determine whether the germs of disease existing in water remain as dangerous after that water has been frozen and whether they can be conveyed to the con-umer of the ice a World reporter was detailed to ascertain the opinions of eminent scientific meniu this city upon the subject and to find out from what sources the ice used here is obThe Secretary of the Knickerbocker ice company said: ‘We get our ice from Kockland and Mehaugh lakes and from the North river between Marlborough and Albany. The supply from each source varies, as we cut more on the lakes one year than we do on the river, and the reverse of this mav be true the year following. When the'ice is short here we draw our supplies from Maine, or, as we were forced to do in 1880, send to Norway for it.” “Is there any difficulty in getting it iu Maine?” “The storing up of ice seems to be Maine’s pet mania. When the weather here promises to make the lee crop short, every man in Maine that ean get any money or credit cuts and stores ice and lots of it, from a few tons stored by the man who borrows the tools to work with to large ice hous s full, and are ready for us when the season opens. Maine ice is very good. Ii is cut on the rivers, is generally hard and clear and stands the heat well. We do not send any word to the people to store it up, because they are sure to do that without any directions.” “Which is the better, the river or the lake ice?” “That from the lakes. It is harder clearer an<i cleaner, stands the heat better and lasts longer. The companies which ship ice across the ocean always take that from the lakes ifthev ean get it. In the same way The men who ship meat take iake ice. For shipment we pack the ice of course, with particular care.” •’Are you always sure to get a crop in the rivers?” “No. We can, however, when the season is bad, cultivate our ice. We take it when it is thin aud have men sink it. It will freeze thicker in this way. Then, if it is freezing in lumps, we plane it off and so get it in form for the market. Ice eannot be cut much over 30 inches, but it is rare that we get it that th ck. As a rule it runs from eight to twenty, averaging fifteen. The crop this year will be fair, I think, from all the reports I hear.”

A number of scientific and medical men were called upon, and the que - tion of the comparative value of river and hike ice from a sanitary standpoint submitted to them. Dr. J. T. Sabine said: “I think that river ice is more apt to be pure than lake ice. In lakes, unless there is a strong current through them, the water is apt to get more or less stagnant. You find enormous masses of coplerae in it as well as animalcula. I should certainly object to ice Cut in a part of the river where there were dye works or tanneries, or where the sewerage of any great city came in. Still you must remember that wster has a wonderful way of cleansing itself, and I should think it would be quite pure ten miles away from the place where such substances entered it.” An eminent chemist said on this subject: “Water during the process of freezing has an unsual power of cleansing itself. It seems to squeeze out all impurities. Ifycuwish to obtain the purest form of acetic acid, you take the ordinary acid and freeze it. i Melt the ice so formed and you will I find that it has no acid taste. Take salt-water, freeze it and melt the ice ’ —you find that the salt has been! squeezed out. Thousands of tons of salt are made in this way. But if you take ice and spray water upon it containing impurities, the frozen spray will contain the impurities still. I have seen foul ice which if melted would be most dangerous stufffor any man to drink. Ido not believe that the eold or freezing is sufflcent to kill germs of disease, although I do not know and could not say positively without making an examination. In lakes the water clears itself wherever it is deep enough to permit of its doing so. Dr. Metcalfe said: “I think river ice is probably pure, because water has such power of purifying itself. Still, I should imagine that the lake ice, particularly that cut in lakes which have only natural drainage emptying into them, would be the best. I do not think that river ice would lie likely to carry germ of disease in it. There is an enormous amount of impure ice cut—that from i ■small ponds, for example, in marshy places—but it Is chiefly used for cooling purposes in such places as breweries. Ido not think much of it is consumed by people. I imagine that the ice brought by any’ of the responsible companies would tie pure enough for consumption vnthout danger to the t eonsum'''’. It is a question which would be worth investigating more fully than has been done so far in this country. “The subject,” said another wellknown physician, “is one of very great im|K>rtance, and it is one which no man can answer questions upon When they are asked. They take time to think out. I cannot answer any questions upon the subject now with any definiteness. I know that this subject has attracted the attention of i

savants in France, aud that experiments have been made on the ice cut on the Seine. It is my impression that the result of these experiments was that nothing injurious was found in the ice, but it is a long time since I read about them, and I am not certain. My recollection is that freezing was found to force the germs out ot the water iu the same way as it forces out salt. I should be glad to see the subject studied and definite conclusions arrived at.” Dr. Thomas, when spoken to about the subject, said: I know realjly noth ing about the question, but I eosider it one of very great importance, and one which would well repay scientific men in this city if they would study it. I regard it as being possibly one of that class of subjects which are branches of the great question of the origin of disease, and I should be very glad if men qualified to make an examination into it would devote their time and attention to it. I should be glad if the World would select average specimens of the ice brought to the city, taking it if possible.trom the places where it is cut. and submit those specimens to some of our scientific men. Then when the reports were made T believe the world would do great good by publishing them. Such an inquiry must necessarily bring out information of immense value— New York World.

BRIGHAM YOUNG. BRIGHAM IS NOT DEAD, BUT DISAPPEARED FOR THE PURPOSE OF BEING RESURRECTED. Omaha, Neb., March 3.—A man ; from Salt Lake visiting in this city j in the course of animated conversation on the anti-Mortnen movement, said he believed that Brigham Young is still alive. He said he saw the body which was supposed to lie that of the i Morman leader, and. while it might have borne some slight resemblance to that of Brigham Young, it was in reality thatjt»f some other |>erson. He knew of a hundred Latter-Day Saints who also failed to recognize the body as that of Y’oung. He had heard . Brigham Young often predict that he should be resurrected from the dead, | and lie firmly believes that when the I crisis arrives in the affairs of the Mor- ; tuons the resurrection dodge will be played upon the ignorant, superstiand fanatical people who compose the Mormon Church. This cunning plan will be in keeping with the various tricks and pretensions that have characterized the Mormon Church since its inception. Brigham Young, a shrewd aud far seeing man, knew that the day was not far ofi whon the vigorous crusade was made on the Mormon church, and he adopted the resurrection game, to be put into operation at a time when the people shall need something in the shape of a miracle to firmly cement them together and fight to main ain the principles of the faith. The man who had made these statements is a Morman, but not a polygamist. He is what is known as a Josephite, or a believer in the true Mormon Church founded by Joseph Smith, and he denies, with all Josephites, that polygamy was ever a part of the Mormon faith preached by Smith. He is extensively engaged in business in Utah and is regarded as a man of sound judgement and veracity. While here he visited some of the Omaha Josephites, and it was to them .hat he made ihe revelations of the plan by which Brigham Y’oung is to create thagreat- ' est sensation of modern times. He had many business dealings with him. He asserts, with the. complete oiganization and secret workings of the Church, it would be an easy matter to keep Bri-ham Y’oung concealed for almost any length of time, and reproduce him when most needed to revive the faith of believers by his apparent resurrection. That his resurrection would be Taken as a matter of fact there is no doubt, and the superstitious people would follow the Prophet’s banner with the zeal of fanI a tic 3 aud shed their blood in its defense. This Josepliite’s statement is to some extent confirmed by a retired army officer, who was on most friendly terms with Brigham Young. This officer, who viewed the alleged remains ofY’wuug, has, it is said, made tiie assertion that it did not bear the slightest resemblance to Brigham Y’oung.

FROM COL. L. T. FOSTER. Youngstown, 0., May ID, 1880. D»- B. J. Krsdall A Co., Gents.—l had a very valuable Hambletonian coll which I prised very highly, he bad a large bone spavin on one joint and a smaller one on the other which made him very lame: I had him under the charge of two Veterinary Surgeons which failed to cure him I was one day reading the advertisement of Kendall’s Spavin Cure in the Chicago Express, I determined at once to try it aud got our Druggist here to send for it, they ordered three bottles; I took them all and thought I would give it a thorough trial, I used it according to directions and by the fourth dav the colt ceased to be lame, and the lumps had entirely disappeared. 1 used but one bottle aud the colls limbs are as free from lumps and as sn.ooih as any horse in the Slate. He is entirely cured. The cure was so remarkable that I let two of my neighbors have the remaining two bottlels who are now using it Very repecslfuly,, L. T. FOSTER.

Perseverance Will Tell. Stoughton, Mass., March 16, 1880. B. J. Kendall A Co., justioe |to you and myself, I think I ought to let you know that I have removed two boas spavins with Kendall * Spavin Cure, one very large one, don’t know how long the spavin had been there. I have owned the horse eight months. It took me four months to take the large one off aud two for the small one. I have used ten bottles. The horse is extremely well, not at all stiff, and no bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful medicine. It is a new thing here, but if it does tor ail what ithas done for tie its sale will be very great. Respectfully yours, CHAS E PARKER. KENDALL’S SPAVIN CURE. Acme, Mich, Dec 28, 1879.

I wore a band- | age on it for over a year, and tried most i everything in my reach, but could find nothing that would give ms permanent relief. When I overworked it would pain me very much. In April 1878 I began to think I should be a cripple for life; but having some of “Kendall s Spavin Cure" thought I would try it. I used one-third of a bottle, and experienced relief at once.
