"THE FOBEST ORATE."

Far la the depths of the dim old wood Wher cool dark shadows sleep. Where sad and pensive solitudes Their silent vigils keep, Where golden rays of uonhine ne'er Dispel the deepening gloom. And sweet wood-liliea pale and fair In silent beauty bloom; Far from the bannt of busy trale. And beauteous architrave. Beneath the loving birchee' bade. There U a Danielen grave. A fast decaying lab yet shows The grassy tesiinic place, But no fond watcher ever goes. The grasses to misplace; No father, mother, wife or friend. Of film who silent sleep, Uomoa here with weight of Isars to Uud. In agony to weep; No loving hand here plants fair Hotter To gently o'er tla were. But darkness brood add sile&t-e i-uwets, Around this forest grave. And gentle branch! interlace , '! ). In beauty over head, 4 J ' And waving graaeee love the ace. Where rests the quiet dead. While aephyrs sighing through the tree Mnmnter ia tweet refrains. And Philomel, when daylight flees. Pours forth ber mournful strains; The wild-flowers throng this lo-elj spot. And gently o'er him wave. Who lie here by the world forgot, la this lone forest gTave. Ob! sleeper lone we can but guess The story of thy life, , , Was it but pleasure, happiness. Or a continual strife? Were youug hopes fair and fortune bright, A ad frivods in aeemiug kiuJ? Then did life's noon wane into night " And leave no hope behind? Here siren svog delusive sung fung but to make a slave. Until with ijil-lt maddened, stuüg, TwU sought this forest grave? Or did in years agone this spot Once blossom as the rose? Did bauds, now dust, rear some small cot 'Midst wealth ef woodland blows? Did forest nook and woodland ring With merry children's play. And life seem but a pearly string tf beads, strung day by day? THE SEW GIRL. Xow Charlie, you'll be sure to remember?" To remember what?" said Mr. Meredith, with hopeless expression of insanity on hi countenance. Kate Meredith dropped Loth hand despairingly at her .ides. 'Charledl" she exclaimed, you don't mean that yu have forgotten already?'' My dear," said Mr. Meredith, fumbling in the depth of hU overcoat pocket for a missing glove, "I may not have forgotten but I don't exactly remember." "The oysters I" suggested hU wife "Oh, yea, the oysters' said Meredith. "And the two ounces of double zephyr starlet wool ." "Exactly." "And the depot hack to be in waiting at 2 o'clock for your cousin from Philadelphia." Mr. Meredith slapped one hand on the table. "She ia cone ing to-day, I declare to goodness!" he ejaculated. "And a dozen Havana oranges for desert, and two pounds of white grapes and some of those delicious little Naples biscuit and maccaroons oh, and let them send up a girl from St. Clair's." "A which?" "A girl you gooso. For general housework. Phebe went home this morning with faceache, and I can't be left alone with company coming and all. Mind she's a good cook and understands waiting at table." And Mr. Meredith rushed off to catch the 0:30 express, with a kaleidoscopic confusion of grapes, zephyr, wool, depot, hacks, oysters and servant maids careering through his brain, which boded ill for Mrs. Meredith's domestic plans. While that lady, clasping both hands over her head in a sort of tragic despair, rushed down into the kitchen, where a very goad looking young man of two or three and twenty was an his knees in front of the range trying to coax a most unwilling fire to burn. "Well?" said he. "Tom," cried she hysterically, "ran you make a lobster salad?" Like a hook," said Tom. "And cotfe.?'' ' - "I learned in Paris." 4Good. And I can inae buttermilk biscuit and between us, we can get up a decent lunch for a young lady from Philadelphia. As for dinner " ."Well?" again remarked the young man with the spot-besmudged nose." "Providence must provide," sighed the matron. 'There's an old chintz-colored rooster in the barnyard. If I could catch him, I'd have a chicken-stew." Tom, did you over make a chickenstew?" "No." 'Then you do not know what you are talking about," said the lady, with some asperity. Yes I do, too. Onions, potatoes, celery, pearl barley, with a pinch of salt and" "Nonsense!" interposed Mrs. Meredith. '(io pick that lobster out of its ßhell, and leave off romancing. You are a deal better at poetry and newspaper sketches than you are in the kitchen, though to be sure," with a twinge of conscience, "goodness knows what I should do without vou just at this particular emergency, you diear old darling.' The lobster was only half picked out of its shell, the buttermilk biscuit was still unmixed, and Mrs. Meredith, with a pockethandkerchief tied around her pretty brown hair, was dusting the little drawing-rcom, when there came a ring at the door-bell. She put the turban ed bead out of the window in ft wort unceremonious manner. "Who is there?" she demanded in a high contralto. "Does Mrs. Meredith live here?" retorted & woman's voice. And at the fame instant the voung matron caught sight of a neat black leather bag, a black alpaca dregs, and a shawl of the plainest HigMand plaid. It's the new girl, thank providence?" said Mrs. Meredith, as he ran down the stairs, thanking honest Charlie in her heart for his unexpected promptitude. "Come in," said he, opening the 'door wide, "1 am so glad you are punctual, my cood girl. From the Clair's Intelligence Bureau, I suppose. No, don't take off your things up here; the servant's room is below stairs; you may an well come directly down to the kitchen." She led the way down, followed by the new girl, whose countenance bore & rather , bewildered expression. What ia your ntmt?" the asked, patronizingly. "My name? Oh, it's Martha," replied the stranger, in some confusion. Martha?" critically repeated Mrs. Meredith. "What an ugly'namel I think I shall call vou Fattie. Have you good references? "I believe so." " r I "I thnik," said Mrs. Meredi'.h, surveying her from tip to toe, "you are a little overdressed for your situation, Pattie; but of course you have some plainer clothes in your trunk, when it comes?" The stranger lifted u pair of grave blue eyes to the tall form, girded around with a towel, who was vigorouy wrestling with the claws of a stupendous lobster at the table beyond. a Do you keep a whii ivok?" asked the girl. Mrs. Meredith drew herself up. "Certainly not. Thi is my brother, Mr. Selwyn, who is Kindly acting me to make a salad." "But he is not doing it right. He will never get the meat out of the shell in ; that way. Let me show you, Mr. Selwyn."! , And with deft f.Lgers he loosened the ' luscious white fiber from the scarlet shell in a manner that made Mr. Sclwyn cry "Bravo!" ."And now, Pattie, 1 will show you where the things are, and leave you to get up as :nlce ft lunch fti you can for 2:30 o'clock; we are expecting my husband's cousin from Philadelphia. I want mvrj thing In perfect 0rdT."

I will finish thw slad," said Tom, who had secretly Wen observing the pretty face and trim figure of the new domestic, "now that I have commenced it. But you need not look perturbed, pattie, if that is your name. 1 will be careful not to get in your vay. And you ask my faster it I am not a handy sort of a fellow around the kitchen." Kate shook her head surreptitiously at Tom behind the screen, but he resolutely aflW'ted not to perceive the warning gesture. Half an hour afterward he came up to the dining room,' where Mrs. Meredith was arranging her best lilac and gold china. "Ivate, she is a jewel. A gem of the first waterl Depend upon it she has not always worked in the kitchen. I quoted Shakespeare, apropos of something or other, I do ot remember what, and she recognized the grand old words at once her eyes bright ened, a'nd ' you should-havo seen the color come into her cheeks." Quoting Shakespeare tr a common kitchen girl!" cried Mrs. Meredith in amazement. But I tell you she is not a common kitchen girl." "I don't believe in high life below stairs," said his sister disdainfully. The lunch came up at 2:30 in perfect order, but no cousin from Philadelphia arrived, no hack rolled up to the dor. "How provoking!" said Kate. "Miss Meredith mi st have missed some connecting train. Charlie will be so vexed. But, however, I do not so much mind company coming in at any time, now that I have got an excellent girl." The dinner of delicately roasted quails and rabbit i'ricuste, with a desert ot custard and Jelly, w as duly served at precisely 7 o'clock, at which hour Mr. Meredith bounced in, hot and (lushed with the haate he had made. Where is she?"

Where U who?" cried Kate. 'My cousin from Philadelphia." "Ohl she has not come." "Not come?" "No." Mr. Meredith drew a sigh of mingled regret and relief. "Then, after all, it is not so very unlucky," said he. What is not so unlucky? My dear Charles, you are expressing yourself altogether in riddles." "" 'That I forgot all about the oysters and the zephyr wool, and the servant girl." Forgot ?,? "Yes forgot. Isn't that plain English?" But you did not forget," remonstrated Mrs. Meredith. "You 6ent her. She's here now in the kitchen." Mr Meredith started. I have sent no one. Never thought of the girl from that moment to this, I give you my word and honor." "Then who did ßend her?" ejaculated his wife, slowly. King the bell! Let us have her up. Who knows but she is one of those confidence women, with an eye to the forks and spoons I" As he spoke he jerked the bell-cord with with some energy. In a minuts or so the new girl came up courtesy ing. Mr. Meredith uttered an exclamation of amazement. "Why, it is Martha Meredith?." shouted he. "It is my cousin from Philadelphia." And he clapped her in his arms, with & shower of kisses which made honest Tom's hair stand on end. "I wish she was ray cousin from Philadelphia," uttered he in stage whisper, aside. Kate turned a3 scarlet as a 'pepper pod. . '-Oh, 'good gracious I" she cried, clasping her little hands nervously, "and I took her for a cook." ... And I am cook when occasion requires, Cousin Kate," swd pretty Martha Meredith making her peace with a kis. ltVo not be vexed at'me for humoring the joke; indeed I could not hc!p it. And I will show vou Low to make meringues glaces and the Neapolitan creines to-morrow?'' And they all Bat happily down together to the roast quails and fricassed rabbit. And Kate and Martha went to the International Bureau on the morrow, established a Milesian damsel in the kitchen, who was not at all incongruous in her surrounding?, and Tom, leaning over his sister's shoulder, whispered waggishly: "Didn't I Uli you she was a gem of the Jrat water?" A Uaby Coach in the Hall. A baby carriage in the hall. The happiest piece of furniture that any house can boast, always making an honorable exception in favor ot the cradle. v The babv carriage means a home. ' Without it, only a place to stay in. It means a ''dear httlo dimple darling" that makes sunshine all the time when it hasn't cot the colic. It means it happy mother, whose life is filled with all tender care, all sweet responsibilities, all wonderful hope for the future. It mean a father who holds his head up among men with the grandest dignity that any man may know. To mother it is "Baby." . To father it is My boy." ' That baby carriage in the hall means all tho wealth of . rosy hours as mother sings lullaby songs perhaps, "Hush my dear, lie still and slumber, Holy angels guard thy bed." When all the time she is the angel that God appointed to guard it, as none of all high Heaven's host could do. It means a world of plans and projects which all center i:i that one little life. It means a father that studies his bank balance with wonderful diligence, for "My son must have a good education, and a good start in life," you know. And he goes home and catches the laughing toddler up, and reddens the dimples with his whiskers, and then addressing him with comical dignity, asks, 'Well, Governor, where shall we go now?" And although he only calls him ''Governor," the mother's heart says and the father wouldn't deny it were she to put it in words that more likely it will be President, in that dim, beautiful and certainly very grand future, Her choice, though, would be that he should be a good man and a happy one. Between them both they parcel out for his manhood s years all that makes life worth the living, i . . ...... .. That baby carriage in the hall means a good deal, does it not? It moans everything to the father and mother. It means more than can bo told. If you have such a piece of furniture in use you know all about it. If you haven't it's a waste of raw material to bother you with. , " Not Much Choice. Old Tarson 3., of Connecticut, was a particular kind of person. One day he had a man ploughing in his field, and he went out to see how the work was getting on. The ground was very stony, and every time the plough struck a stone the man tok occasion to swear ft little. "Look here," cried Parson S., ''you mu.t not swear that way in my field." "Well, I reckon you'd swear, too," said the man, "if you had to plough such a stony field as this." "Not a bit of it," said Mr. S. "Ju-t let me show you!" So the parson took hold of the plough, but he very soon had considerable trouble with the stones. As stone after stone caught the ploughshare, Mr. S. ejaculated: Well, I never saw the like!" And this he repeated every time a stone stopped his onward way. As soon as he had ploughed around once, he stopped and said to the man: "There, now! You fee I can' plough without swearing" "But I guesä it's pretty near as bad to lie," answer, ed the wan, ''and you told dozens of lies. Every time the plough struck a stone, you aid, 4I never saw the like,' when tb same thing happened a minute beftrt

TUE SECKKT CiiAMBE!R. A Legend of a Belgian Church The Unerring; Hand of Death Seeks Its Victim V Kobber'e Horrible Death. Few who make any prolonged stay at Spa, a watering place in Belgium, fail to visit the grotto of Kern Buchamps. On the roadside, about half a mile beyond the grotto, may be seen the Church of Dieupart, the architecture of which is superior to that of most of the country churches in that district. The following Wend is connected with its

erection about 500 years ago: At that timo there stood upon a height, abovb where the church is now seen, a chateau, the lord of which, at the date of our story, was a bold wicked man, the terror of the neighborhood. He had lived there lor about fifteen years with his wife, who had Dorne him no otfVj.ring, and who had come with him from some foreign land, where he had spent his youth, rumor said, in a most disreputable manner. One day there came to the - gate of the chateau a youthful Minnesinger, one of those minstrels who passed from town to town, lrom castle to castle, delighting the ears of their denizens with romantic ballads, eung to the accompaniment of the harp, and receiving in return bed and board for a short time and wherewithal to support them on, their journey to their halting place. He was admitted to the presence ot the lord and lady of the castle, and forthwith began his lay. At the first stanza a deadly pallor overspread the features of the Baroness, and with trembling voice she demanded whence he came, and from whom he had learned that ballad. "I come from Treves," -was the reply, "and the ballad was taught me by an 'aged man with whom 1 dwelt, and who, when I was sufficiently well-skilled in the art of music, sent me out, and bade me sing it in every town and castle which I should enter." THE SKIONKUR OF MONTJARDI.V, observing that his wife's emotion was be coming more and more intense, ordered the minstrel to quit the chamber, but to wait in the castle his further orders. When he was gone the Baroness exclaimed: "Those words I that airt inethought they were known but to myself and to my father I" "The minstrel is without a doubt a spy;" said the suspicious Baron, "whose object it is to discover our abcdj and give information thereof to some enemies; but he shall not return to give intelligence to those who have sent him." Oh! slay him not," said the Baroness; "add not the murder of the innocent youth to a list of crimes already too long." "Well, well," said the Baron. "I shall not deprive him of life, but it were dangerous to give him his liberty; I will confine him to one of the chambers of the- castle." So saying he went forth to execute his design, but the Minnesinger had disappeared and could not be found. A few days elapsed and the young minstrel again appeared at the castle, lie was taken by the Baron to a secret chamber known only to himself, in a remote ttwer, far from the inhabited portion of the chateau. "Now," said the Baron, "tell me wherefore thou hast come to this castle? I know well that thou art here on some secret errand, and if it be not revealed thy days are numbered." But the minstrel gave no other answer than thttt wliicli Lu Li giveu before. 'Thou art obstinate, then ! 'Tis well that thou shouldst know the punishment that awaits thee. Neither food nor drink shall pass thy lips until thou shalt tell me all I. desire to know. The place whence thou comec-t, the ballad thou hast sung, are tokens that some hidden design brings thee, here; 'tis my will that thou shalt disclose it. I will return to-morrow and give thee one more chance for thy life. If thou art still obstinate, I will lea ye thee here to perish." The Baron then departed, carefully fastening the door as he left, the chamber. The next day found the brave minstrel as determined as before to make no further revelations, and so the cruel Baron left him to his dreadful fate, inf orming his wife that he was merely keeping him in custody, as he was more than ever convinced that the minstrel plotted mischief. TURKS DAYS UA1 ELAPSED u since he was imprisoned, when an aged man arrived at the chateau, wearied and footsore, and having craved and obtained an audience of the Baron, demanded if he knew aught of & youthful minstrel who, he had heard, was last seen at the castle. - . "Thou dost not remember me," continued the stranger. "I " am thy wife's fathpr.1 Thou didst carry off, at the" head of thy rob-' ber band my daughter, from her home at Treves, and ever since I havo made fruitiest efforts to discover thine abode. At length I bethought me of a means which has proved successful. I knew a sweet ballad which my daughter had composed in her youth; this I taught to a boy whe, neglected from his infancy by his relatives, lived under my care. Hi in I bade go forth and sing his lay in every town and castle until he should find my daughter, that I might see her ere I die. This youth came here Thou -didst not recognize him, probably. He is thy brother" i The Baron stayed to hear no more. He hastened in an agony of terror to the secret chamber, flung open the door and beheld extended on the floor the lifelees body of his brother. He caught up the motionless form in his arms, intending to convey it where remedies might be applied, but horror! In hi3 confusion he had closed the door from within, and it could be opened but from without. His cries were unavailing; none knew of the chamber but himself. . For some time the disappearance of the Baron caused the greatest excitement; but at length, while some repairs were being executed in the castle, the workmen discovered the secret chamber, the half worm-eaten yet still recognized corpses of the two brothers and a written document containing the confession of the Baron. The Lady of Montjardin, struck with horror, caused the chateau to be pulled down and the present Church of Dieupart to be built with its stones. A. Pleaslutc Incident . - , By Louisa M. Alcott. Sitting in a station the other day, I had ft little sermon preached in the way 1 like; and I'll report it for your benefit, because it taught one of the lessons which we all should learn, and tHught it in such a natural, simple way, that no one could forget it. It was a bleak, snowy day; the train was late; the ladies'-room dark and smoky; and the dozen women, old and young, who sat waiting impatiently, all looked cross, low-spirited or stupid. I felt all three ; and thought, as I looked around, that my fellow-beings were a very unamiable, uninteresting set. Just then & forlorn old woman, shaking with pals J, came in with a basket of wares for sale, and went about mutely offering them to the sitters. Nobody bought anything, and the poor old soul stood blinking at the door a minute, as if reluctant to go out into the bitter storm again. She turned presently, and poked about the room, as if trying to find scmethiag; and then a pale lady in black, who lay as if asleep cn a sofa, opened her eyes, saw the old woman, and instantly asked, in a kind tone, "Have you lost anything, ma'am." "No, dear," I'm looking for the heati n'place, to have a warm 'fore I goes out agin. My eyes is poor, and I don't seem to find the furnace nowheres.' I "Here it is;' and the lady led her to the steam radiator, placed a chair, and showed her how to warm her feet. "Well, now; ain't that nice?" said the old woman, spreading her ragged mittens to dry. Thanky, dear; this is proper comfortable, ain't it! I'm most froze to-day, bein lame and wimbly; and not selling much makes me kind of downhearted." ; ' The lady smiled, went to the counter, bought a cup of tea and some sort of. food, carried It herself to the old woman, and said, as respectfully and kindly as If. the, poor

woman Lad been dressed In ii'ir ;..i ft.r-

Won't you havo a cup of hot tea? It's very comlorting such a dsy as tnis." "Sakes alive! Do they give tea to this depot?" cried the old lady in a tone of inno cent surprise, that made a smile go round the room, touching the glummest face like ft steak of sunshine. ''Well, now, this is jest loveiy, aaaea me oiu iaay sipping away with a relish. "This does warm the cockles of my heart." 1 W hile she refreshed herself, telling her story meanwhile, the lady looked over the poor little wares in the basket, bought soap ana pins, snoe-sirings ana tape, and cheered the old soul bv cavinrr well for them. As I watched her doing this, I thought what a sweet lace sne naa, though i d considered her rather t plairr before. I felt dreadfully ashamed of myself that 'I had grimly shaken my head when the basket was offered me; and, as I saw the look of interest, sympathy, and kindness come into the dismal faces all around me, I did wish that I had been the magician to call it out. It was only a kind word and a friendly act; but somehow it brightened that dingy room wonderfully. It changed the faces of a dozen women; and, I thins it touched a dozen hearts, tor I saw many eyes follow the plain, pale lady with sudden refpect; and when the old woman got up to go, several persons beckoned to her, and bought something, as if they wanted to repair their first negligence. Old beggar-women are not romantic; neither are cups of tea, boot-laces and colored soap; there were no gentlemen present to be impressed with the lady's kind act; so it wasn't done for effect, and no possible reward could be received for it except the ungrammatical thanks of ft ragged old woman. But that simple little charity was as good as a sermon to those who saw it; and I think each traveler went on her way, better for that half-hour in the dreary station. I can testify that one of them did; and nothing but the emptiness of her purse prevented her from "comforting the cockles of the heart" of every forlorn old woman she met for a week after. All In Fun. LDetrolt Free Press.l There was a sharp-noned, red-headed woman there who wanted to see if "a man by the name of Peter had been locked up." Bijah went up and down the corridor crying: 'Teter! Peter! pumpkin-cater Ilad a wife and he did beat 'er!" "It's an infernal lie!" growled a voice in cell No. 2, and Bijah returned and replied that Peter was there and apparently in the best of health. "Then I want to see him." "For what?" "For none of vour business!" "But vou canrL" "But I will!" There was an appalling silence during which both sat down. Then there was a breeze during which both stood up. "I tell ye, I must see Peter!" she exclaimed, as she fanned herself at the rate of 154 revolutions per minute. "State your reasons in an open-hearted manner," replied the old man. 'I want to tell him not to own up," "To what?;' "To throwing me down stairs." Biiah took off his coat, tightened his suspenders, and began to deliver his opinion on the female sex, but before he was half way through His Honor came in and prepared to oj.-n Court. Peter was the first man out. His face was liadly scratched, his hair sticking in everv direction and his eyes looked as anxious as porcelain casters as he came before the bar. "Please, sir, he was only in fun when he threw me down stairs," said the sharp-nosed woman, as she rae up. "Only in fun only in fun," growled Peter as he gave her a loving wink. "Then this man is your husband?" que ried His Honor. "My own darling husband, and there is not a better man in America," she answered. "You whoop, yell, scream, smash furniture and pound each other." "Yes, sir, but it's all in fun, for we love each other, don't we, Peter?" " Yes. we love," sighed the husband. "Maybe you do, but that's a curious way of showing it. I am convinced that about thirtvdays in the cooler would do Peter worlds of good." "Then let me o with him. sir. It would break my heart to know that he was boosted up and I was left to keep house with no one but the cat, and him away half the time." The Court chewed up two inches of a new penholder, and arrived at the conclusion that the people of the State of Michigan could stand it if Peter's wife could, and he was allowed to depart. Bijah said he would wager a dozen California plums against a railroad fan that they would have a fight before they had gone two blocks. He was right. - They had not traveled 200 feet from the station-house door before she struck him in the back with both fists at once, and he laid his hand on her mouth with a force that sent an echo up to the third-story windows.
