SONNETS FROM THEAFGHANESE
Tnxrertturins; to TuVlis1i a few specimens of the literature of a remote race, who have lately attracted the attention of the civilized world, I deem it necessary to offer a word of explanation, lest the reader should conclude thut the colloquialisms of Cabool are too suspicious v like the slang of our own metropolis. .Sir William Leslie, in hi.-s admirable work on the "Social Life and Manners of the Afghans," says: "Their poetry is rude and pimple, full of colloquial phrases, and celetnates only the primitive passions and most familiar surrounding of their daily life." It "will bo observed that this remark is eminently true, if the following sonnets are faithfully typical of Pushtaneh literature. In translating, 1 have been at some pains to preserve a natural atmosphere by substituting: for the idioms of the Pushtu "language some ot our own colloquialisms as most nearly correspond. In no other way could I preserve the viva voce tone of the originals. I. TO A MULE. A weird phenomenon, O mule, art thou!

THE UPS ASI) OF REA.L LIFE
but, iiTan unlucky howr, a new project of gigantic proportions was undertaken
by the firm. This came near iaiiing, and required additional investments, to provide for which a risky speculation,
qu:te loreign to tne legitimate uusmess of the house, was entered into. The failure of this latter, and the oonsequent defeat of the former, brought the whole establishment down with a crash, which left not only the partners, but many of their creditors also, ruined. Mr. Felter, the senior member of the firm, being a man of strong mercantile scruples, and entertaining the old-fashioned ideas of commercial honor, blew his brains out. HaskEis, a more venal character, appropriated a few thousand dollars saved from the wreek, and sailed for Europe. This net precluded the possibility of the payment of the ten per cent, mentioned by Mr. Scammon (Hal Rivera's attorney) in his telegram. " There is no use in going to New York," said Hal, when he heard of the precise nature of his loss. "I have onlv a few relatives there, and thev
would turn up their noses at me. I shall
stay here, and go to work. If I had only followed my father's example, and gone into a counting-house, I should be qualified to take a good position now. As it is, I must enter into competition with the men of brawn and muscle ! Fortunately my shoulders are broad, and my thews tough. Won't I look well on a ladder? Won't a hod be becoming to me?"
The time I had allowed myself in which to visit the Mammoth Cave expired, and I was forced to return to the
metropolis. I paid the expenses of both at the hotel, and saw my friend comfortably installed in an economical boarding-house, before I left. He sold all articles of luxury his silver-mounted dressing-case, his pistols, his most expensive clothing, and, in fact, everything that a poor man ought not to have to pay his board until he could find employment. On the day that I left, he had just agreed to enter the service of a housepainter, at the moderate salary of six dollars a week. 44 But what do you know about painting?" I asked. 44 Nothing, but I shall have learned the business before my employer finds me out. You know I am great on fancy lettering; and if has he any small signpainting to do, I will astonish him by my talent."
A man with the amount of pluck thus
displayed can not but get along. So I bade Hal farewell, without any misgivinsrs foi his success.
44 Good bye, old boy. I prophesy that
you will be a millionaire some day."
44 Come and see me when I do, won't
you? I'll make you a present of a cor-
Some years ago Hal Rivers and myself were in the habit of making a pilgrimage together, every summer, to some place of interest. We took our own time, and journeyed leisurely enough, avoiding night-traveling, uncomfortable routes, etc., and greatly preferring a fortnight of slow, easy voyeige to three days of rush and hurry. .Nowadays people travel mostly just as fiercely for pleasure as for business ; but we were wiser. I shall never forget the trip to the Mammoth Cave, of Kentucky, that we Undertook, but never completed. We
leit iew iorK on a aeucious September morninsr, and proceeded, more or less
directly, to Cincinnati, arriving there on
the afternoon of the fifth day after our
departure.
The morning that we had decided
upon to resume our journey, we break
fasted early, and began to pack up. My preparations were soon finished; but
Hal was a great fellow for luggage, and it generally took an hour or two for hr:a
to get all his traps stowed. I remember that he had difficulty, on the morning in question, with an elaborate dressing-
case which he always carried, and nearly
exhausted his patience in trying te get it into a trunk already more than half full. Just as he succeeded, there Was a knock at the door. I opened it, and
found one of the hotel porters. 44 Well, John, what is it?"
44 Note, sir, for one of you gen'le-
inen." 44 How did it come?" 44 Telegraph office, sir."
I took the note. It was a telegram
i"or Hal. He opened it, and read :

pause, " I gttesd we woiVt sro to the

He had received a fair education in most of the u-ual collegiate branches, but utility had been left quite out of sight; and now, when he found himself thrown entirely upon his own resources, he did no know which way to turn. He was too philosophical and self-reliant by nature to be overwhelmed with grief at the blow ; but I could not deny to myself that his future was anything but jsmiiing. A few days brought all the particulars. Messrs. Felter, Haskins & Co., importers and commission merchants in drygoods, had been speculating heavily for several years. Hal's father was, during his life, a partner in the house: and, after hi3 death, Lis heir had allowed tne money to remain in the firm, though he carelessly neglected to keep any watch upon the disposition made of it. For some time it yielded him large returns ;
ner lot or two. Till then, fare ye well!"
CHAPTER II.
My self-reliant friend did not stay long
in Cincinnati. He started off to make
a tour through Ohio, and to look out for
chance to enter some remunerative
business, in a place where there were fewer young men out of employment.
It was a lengthy period after our parting that I heard any detailed new3 of him, and I shall give intervening adven
tures in my own words.
In a pleasant village on the banks of
the Ohio lived, at that time, a lady of the old school aristocracy. She was a widow wealthy and descended from one of the cavaliers who assisted to form
the first colon- at Jamestown. The result of these circumstances of birth and money was painful. Mrs. Bland was so terribly select so exquisitely aristocratic that she could not find any society good enough for her. The little
town where she lived was like most other country places, and contained no very alarmingly exclusive circle. The doetor, the minister, and the principal of the female seminary, with their families,
formed the most fashionable circle ; but they were eminently provincial, and
Mrs. Bland could not descend to their level. The doctor's father had been a blacksmith, the minister's wife ate with her knife, and the head of the seminary
was poor as one of those proverbially
impoverished birds the turkeys of Job.
bo the proud, handsome, high-bred,
polished, selfish, fascinating old lady
dwelt all alone with her fair daughter, in the ancient house that had been in
habited by her branch of the family ever sinoe white faces were first reflected in
the Ohio River. Her daughter was as
proud, as handsome, as high-bred, and
as fascinating as she had ever been, but
not so rigidly, frigidly conventional m
her idehs of social position. ishe fan
cied that a lady ought to have a heart,
and show it that to be a lady, one must be a woman and something more. The
widow; on the contrary, thought that
the lady and the woman should have no
emotions or expressions in common. So
the mother and daughter had a good
many pretty severe talks, which ended, generally, in the submission of the
young girl's sense to the matron's edu-
caiional prejudices.
The house, which, as I have said, was
quite old, began to need repairs, and
after some inward struggles, Mrs. Bland
submitted to. a general tearing down
and rebuilding of some portions. Just
as the carpenters finished, ayouugman,
a stranger newly arrived, opened a
paint shop on a limited scale in the vil
lage. As the only painter employed by the townsfolk lived at another place some miles awav, this new-comer re
ceived considerable patronage, and Mrs
Bland, having inspected his work, engaged him to paint the now wainscoting in the hall and dining-room of the old
house. Flora Bland, with the instinctive cu riosity that all young women, have concerning the other sex even to those in-
dividuals who are far below them in the social scale looked at the house-painter
as she passed through the hall from her
chamber to the parlor. She saw a good-
looking young man whose garments,
thougn coarse and appropriate, were nevertheless becoming, and whose face
showed unmistakable signs of cultiva
tion and intelligence. In practicing her
piano lesson that morning she took more than usual pains. She was not embarrassed, as she would have been if
a 44 gentleman " were within hearing ; but she could not help desiring masculine admiration, if only from 44 nobody but the painter." Afterward she heard him 'singing, with excellent musical taste, all the operatic morceaux she had been practicing, and marveled to find mechanic with such a knowledge of the opera. Repassing from the parlor to the dining-room, she took a closer survey of the man, .and saw that he had too much in his face to be taken in at a glance. It vexed her that she should be interested in a common workman." He had no right to interest her, and she did not seem to attract the slightest notice on hi3 part. 44 Our house-painter is handsome and sings operatic airs," said she to her mother at dinner. . 44 What business have you to know whether he is handsome or not?" 44 A house-painter is a man, and I shall marry a man some day, ma mere!" Thereupon ensued a terrible quarrel.
The painter was rather slow. He waa not the most skillful workman ever known, and the job lasted a good while. Mrs. Bland took occasion to remark upon hi3 laziness, and Flora found herself defending him. He read while eating his dinner, which meal he brought with him in a dinner-pail, and once, when he left his book by accident over night, she examined it. It was a volume of Goethe's poems, in German, and on a fly-leaf was a brief inscription : Hal Rivrs, from his friend ana gossip, Faul Ryder." 44 Paul Ryder, the poet and author P" wondered Flora ; 44 our painter has had lofty friends." If any young lady among my readers has been brought up so aristocratically that she has never found any society she could mingle with, she may be able to comprehend Flora Bland's situation.
Here was a person of evident refinement
and education, who had undoubtedly enioved better advantages than her own,
at some past era; but whose present po
sition was such as to place an apparent
gulf between them. The romances she wrought in conjecturing the circumstances would have made a volume of excellent reading; fcnd her interest deepened the more she tried to suppress it. By the end of a week, she was astonished and frightened at the persistency with which this well-built, brightfaced young fellow, with his almost jaunty air and expressive voice, haunted her imagination. As she came up behind him'one day,
unnoticed, she caught him singing unus
ually well. He stopped when he saw
ner, and seemed lust tne least dh em
barrassed.
44 You are fond of music, friend," she
said, boldly.
44 Extravagantly." 44 And you know some good songs?" 44 1 have heard good music." 44 Are you familiar with the opera?" 44 So-so. It is some time, now, since I have heard any professional singing." " 44 Do you like your trade ?" An odd smile came over his face. "Yes it gives mo bread and butter." 44 You think me impertinent." 44 No. One has a right to question one's workmen." 44 And especially in your case." 44 Why so?" 44 Because you are unlike the workmen I have seen hitherto. The carpenters who made this new woodwork did
not sing opera music, nor read Ger
man." 44 You find me singular, then?" 44 Yes."'
44 And I find you so. You are the first
person whom I have met, since I since
I adopted this trade, who has recalled
my life theretofore."
44 Then you have not been a painter
long?" 44 About two months."
44 If I ask what you were before that,
would it oe impertinent?"
44 Mather; but 1 will tell you. 1 was a
fool!"
44 Well, you had plenty of company
The kind is common."
44 You are cynical."
At this point Mrs. Blanas step wan
heard approaching, and Flora termi
nated the conversation by going into the
parlor. Curiously enough, she could not get through her piano exercise half
so well as usual. lhe knowledge that
the painter was listening confused her
now she felt, somehow, as if a work
man might be a gentleman, after all
A few nights later tne widow sur
prised her daughter standing on the
rear piazza with the house-painter chat
ting familiarly, and admiring the sun
set, lhe blow nearly killed her.
It is strange that prejudice should b(
such a tremendous power as it is. Phi
losophy teaches that "Man is a reason
ing being," but is there any other crea
ture in the whole animal kingdom that
likes and dislikes, admires ami despises
with so little reason as man lhe
hatreds that exist everywhere between
classes between sects, trades, fami
lies, schools, temperaments, nations,
etc., are aa inexplicable as theyv are
humiliating. Whence are they derived?
Of what use are they f W hy are they
perpetuated? If I waited for a rationa
answer, 1 should have written my last
word, for these questions admit only of
the answer of prejudice "Because!"
Mrs. Bland, when she found her daugh
ter associating with a 44 common paint
er, ' turned crimson with, shame and
rage.
14 See here,1' she cried, pointing to her
face, illuminated with an awful beauty
"see here! lhe blood of all the Blands
Queen Elizabeth's courtiers, rises to
cast off this insult. Go to your room
You have disgraced your name and your
family!"
Hal withdrew in disgust, after telling
the widow that he only was to blame
and that he did not think the blood of the Blands much soiled by a half-hour
chat between the young lady and him
self.

I learned yjsterday that she has a daughter whom she supports in comfort, if not elegance, by her labor." 44 Nice kind of a daughter to live on the old Jady, eh?' 44 That is the odd part of it. The mother keeps her in. profound ignorance of her condition. ,The daughter is living with a distant relative, and the old lady only visits her once a month, when, of course, she is a great lady again. She has trumped up 4ome plausible story of
a small income, llsnppose ; and so goes on, wearing b i out, that miss may

ies; 1 am obliged hy my con-c;ence
to pay high prices for my washing, but
it is not self-denial, 1 think, so much as pride. The ancient dame is too proud to let even her daughter know how poor
he is. Mie doesn t mind me, because I
am a stranger; and she thinks l know nothing about her. Her assumed name and double-veil worn iu the street are disguise enough."
lhe result of this conversation was a
general desire, on our part, to assist the old lady in her labor which, though imposed by pride only, had, nevertheless, something of nobility about it. I
agreed to employ her during rvjv brief
Vcay, and Hal wished to do so perma
nently. Max gave her our address, and
when she came llal recognized Mrs.
Bland.
A mistake in the character of a lawyer
she had trusted had been fatal to her fortune. Farms houses, and, finally,
money had been swallowed up in a lawsuit, to go into the pocket of her attornev. Reduced to poverty, she had sent
Flora to visit her relatives in Cincinnati, without informing her of the truth. The village where she trad been so aristocratic was no place to live in when she
was penniless; so she soon followed
lora to town, and actually began, at
fifty-five, to work for her bread.
The lesson was a terrible one, and the
apology she made to Hal when he told her who he was and the circumstances
of their last meeting, was a curious
compromise between conscience and dignity. II had not forgotten the interest that Flora had taken in him, nor that which she had aroused; aad he
only wished for an opportunity to show Mrs. Bland that, there was a dignity
which coarse garments and unuitellec-
tual pursuits could not tarnish.
lhe family with whom riora lived
was one of the most respectable in Cincinnati ; but it was not very difficult for
Hal, well-to-do and cultivated as ho was, to become' acquainted with them. Flora remembered, him she blushed
when she hoard 'ais name she hnghtened up and became vivacious when she chatted with him of their first meetings
and conversations. In short, they be
came intimate, far more intimate than
at first, and Mrs. Bland ceased to do washing, while a new suit was .opened in her behalf by U,al for the recovery of
her property.
I might go on and tell further details
of this singular episode, of the succe.s, of the lawsuit and the good sense the
old lady learned from her misfortune,
but I have no time to spare. I must finish my writing and prepare for tomorrow's journey, a trip to Cincinnati, whither I am invited to attend a wedding. The invitation terminates thus: 44 P. S.

CHAPTER III.
Not very long ago I had occasion to
visit Cincinnati, and by invitation stop ped with Hal llivers, at his snug bach
elor quarters, instead of at a hotel. lie
had prospered. From a journeyman painter he had worked his way up till ho had established a large store and manufactory far the preparation and sale of paints and kindred commodities. He was not yet a millionaire, but his
Clothing h;s too much to do with our elasticity of movement. The heavy suits of men are weighing them down, in
Rummer, and cloths of serge are far pre
ferable to those of thick woolen cloth. The heavily laden skirts of women impede the free action of movement much, and should be simplified a much as possible for summer. So also the headgear. Infants, if at all delicate, should not be allowed to go with bare feet : it often
produces diarrhoea, and they should al
ways wear a flannel band round the
stomach. Another important matter is the changing of night and day linen among the poorer classes. It is terrible to think that a workingman should lie down in the shirt in which he has perspired all day at hU hot work. Let men accustom themselves to good washes every evening before they s-it down to their meals, kuTT to changes at night, that they may take up a dry shirt when going to their hard day's work. Light head coverings are essential in summer, for the head tittst be Kept cool.

A Simple Kecipe for Ice Cream. Ope ; pint of milk, one pint of cream, and one j
cupful of while sugar, two egg, a. t- aspoonful of vanilla or other extract, and j one dessertsuootiful of corn-t;trch. s
Make theo in'o a thin custard, and al- j low it to become quit cold before put- j ting into the frezr, as this will save j time and ice in the freer proccs. To j
freee the custard pour it into a tin-pail and cover tightly; then set the pj:l into a larger wodou pad or tub and surround it completely with a mixture of pounded ice and salt. About one hour n re piired to freeze the cream in Ua manner. The tin-pail containing the custard must bo turned round in the ice ftvuuently, and the custard scraped from
the fides of the pail and stirred occasionally during the process of freezing with a strong spoon. Quarter Crack. The ed res of the crack should be rounded off, without cutting into the depth of the crack. Cleanse the part-, and s-often the h of by means of poulticing, the flioe being removed. With a view of preventing the split from extending upward. nsk a ero-is-eut, or horizontal cut, through the horny fibre, immediately above the split. In extensive crack, the edges may beheld together by mesas of carefully-inserted rivets. To prevent entrance of dirt, till the crack with shoemaker's wax. If the split extends through the lengih of the hoof, remove the lu aring of the hoof from the sh e, back of the sbe to the heel, and apply a ar shoe. Apply a ms'.d blister above the hoof.

as they did, of a little supervision and direction only. While there I formed the acquaintance of Max Van Hevden, an artist, of German descent, lie was a dreamy, philosophical sort of fellow, possessing much talent, and 1 became quite intimate with him through his frequent visits at Hal's lodgings and his fondness for discussion. One evening we were talking about the rarity of phenomenal character. I had been reading a work on statistics, and was much surprised by the truth with which deductions could be drawn from general estimate. The same number of suicides (or nearly the same), fr instance, might be expected every jear, and from the same causes. There would be just so many letters annually misdirected and sent to the Dead-letter Ofuee just so many annual removals, and fires, and murders. We are always surprised by the mathematical regularity of statistics. Life and its actions seem to be like disease, chrono-thermal. I said this much to Hal and Max, who were present. ' Very true," said Max, yet we are continually running against phenomena. At times it seems as if every separate individual were cast in a totally different mold. Where are these classes who do the same thing every ycarP"

In summer you must breathe freely and lightly ; vou can not do so with your stomach full of undigested food. your blood full of overheating alcohol, your lungs full of vitiated air, your smell disgusted with nauseous scents, your system unable to carry out the "natural process of digestion. All the sanitary arrangements in the world will to no good if wceat and drink in such a fashion that we are constantly putting fuel where it is not needed, and stuffing up our bodily draught, a3 we would that of a heating appliance.

Curtiss, in his manual on wheat culture, recommends where the wheat is sown in wide drills that sulphur be sprinkled over the heads of grain, when wet with dew.
