AS THEY LOOK OCT TO SEA. 1 saw two women standing on a hill That looked oat toward the sea. The face of one ’ \ Was worn and seamed with care, yet calm and still, Like one whose work Is done. The other’s face was young and frosh and fair, And yet within her heart there Beemed to be Some sorrow, giving her a pensive air, As she looked out to sea. They looked not at the wind-blown flowers that lay About their feet, bjat followed with their eyes A stately vessel, sailing on her way, Where billows fall , and rise. The maiden, though her face bespoke her grief * At parting from her lover, yet seemed fain To lull her sorrow with the fond belief That they would meet a .ain. Not so the other, for trembling lip Told that Bhe thought she had lost her son; That ere again those waters knew his ship Her life’s voyage would be done. They waved their kerchiefs, thinking they could see An answering signal from the vessel’s deck; Then watched the ship until it seemed to be Only a distant speck. They watched it out of sight, then turned away With heavy steps and heavier hearts, and hands Locked in each other’s, while the twilight gray Settled upon the lauds: , '* ;■ - And as they slowly took their homoward path From either heart went up a silent prayer That heaven would arrest the tempest’s wrath, And one dear sailor spare. O ship! receding ’twixt the waves and skies, Swift be thy going, swift thy coming he; Gladdening his mother’s and his sweetheart’s eyes. As they look out to sea. —New York Ledger.

LIDA.

BY MBS. M. L. BAYNE.

She wag a heroine, though no badges of honor decorated her with the triumphal plaudit of fame, and no monumental record ever told the story of her timple and unswerving devotion to duty; yet none the less is her name written in imperishable characters upon the scroll of glorious remembrance, witnessed and attested to in the higher court, where her welcome shall be sounded: “Well done! good and faithiul servant!” For she was only a servant girl, and had sat meekly and sorrowfully among the others in the forlorn city intelligence office, waiting for some one to approve of her, and take her into service. Just the day before her mother had given her the little red Bible she had in her pocket, and said with tearful voice: “he a good girl, Lida. If things don't go to suit you, and you get downhearted, think of your father and me, and read what he marked in this book. That is all the help and comfort a poor girl can get that lives out and hasn’t any home.’' Lida was thinking this over as she sat there in thh commercial exchange of flesh and blood, when she heard a loud voice say: “What is the matter with this one?” She lifted her eyes, shy as the wild flowers of her own country fields, and saw a gentleman regarding her with a cool business look. “She is just in from the country and nas never lived out,” said the politic tones of the mistress of the office. “All the better then,” said the gentleman. “My wife will make a good servant out of her. There is nothing suits her better than to break in a raw, hand. Hev, girl, can you cook a potato?” “ His voice was rough but not unkindly, and as the girl timidly answered him. lie continued : “Send her to the house, Mrs. Spence, and settle with my wife about the wages. We won’t be particular if she turns out to be quick and willing.” Lida smiled thankfully and tried to say a few grateful word that stuck in her throat, but it was alb the same—the gentleman who had hired her, Mr. Simpson, had turned away, and from that moment forgot her as completely as if she had never lived. She was engaged at his house, and soon learned how to cook city diet in a way acceptable to the family. She could wash and iron, sweep and clean, and in a month Mrs. Simpson told her friends what a treasure she had in the new girl. The new girl could do other things —sew and embroider, sing very sweetly, play the melodeon prettily, read and recite better than either Belle or Maud Simpson, and had lovely cultivated thoughts about the people and the relation of Qne human being to another. ftit the family never knew it. They dicTnot even appreciate the fact that sho spoke beautiful English and had refined manners. She was the daughter of a Scotch minister, and a strong, plain, good-hearted Yankee girl, who, when lief young husband became blind was eyes and ears and feet for him till he died, leaving a family of younger helpless and dependent children. The father had taught Lida, and in dying he had charged her to help her mother maintain the children. But not in this way. Oh, no! good . man as he was, his pride would have revolted at Lida’s going into service. But she, brave little woman,had reasoned it all out. Her educaijpn was too erratic to permit of her teaching school Sewing would soon ruin her health. Other girls lived out. Why should not she? The fronts of houses are very insincere. They flaunt iight and style, and the appearance of comfort in the faoe of the passer-by. The skeleton is in the back patft of the bouse—-a closet that has no stained glaßs windows to attract attention. Lida lived in the kitchen; she worked alone all day, feeding upon herself. Mrs. Sijnpson did not scold or interfere unless went wrong. Then she did both. “Alas, how easily things go wrong. Sho could excuse them for herself or her children, but not for the “servant within her gates.” Lida had a letter from her mother saying that little Benny had broken his wrist, and cried all one night for Bister Lida. Then she crid, and the coffee browned too much, and Mrs. Simpson scolded her severely. She sent every dollar home and wore her summer clothes all winter. Then she did a very dishonest thing. Sho wore the ironing-blanket 'under her thin shkwl when she went out one bitter night to buy the yeaat for the breakfast muffins. Mrs. Simpson, came into the kitchen and saw the lining of poverty.

“Perfectly shameful," she said, “wearing my things out in that manner. I pay you enough to buy a warm shawl every month. What do you spend your money for?” Lida did not say. The next morning the muffins were light, but not her heart. It was heavier than lead. She sung softly under her breath: “Dare to do right—dare to be true.” then she changed it to—“TJiere’s a land that is fairer than day.’’ It seemed to help her, and she forgot the wearying rub-a-dub-dub of the wash-board, and sung higher. Mrs. Simpson locked in: “Lida, stop singing. It is enough to set any one crazy to hear that dismal tune* I never allow my hired girls to sing.” After that she sang only in her heart. “You are a dear good girl,” wrote her mother, “and I am so glad you like your place and that the people are kind to you. We should have starved this winter but for you.” When Lida read this letter she laid her head down on the kitchen table and, cried. All the inanimate things that were her only companions seemed to be sorry for her. The stove shone warm and bright, the room looked cozy, but, oh! it was not home—home, where mother and Benny and the rest loved her. She read a chapter in the little Bible, went to the small, dark, dreary room that exists in most houses as a sort of catch-all, and is known as the girl’s room, and there by her narrow bed asked God that “peace which floweth as a river.” It came to her sooner than she expected. Mrs. Simpson sent for her family physician one morning and said: “Doctor, lam in such Trouble. My kitchen girl seems thratened with fever. I have sent Maud and Belle away, and want you to tell me just what to do.”

The doctor followed Mrs. Simpson to the rear apartment where Lida slept. The room was cold and full of the odor of cooking. The girl lifted her weary head from its scanty pillow and locked at him with- shining eyes. “It is so beautiful here,” she said in u faint voice; “the sun shines and it is never cold. Hark! that is father’s voice! and they are all so kind here. Oh, Mrs. Simpson, have I overslept myself! Letmegetujk I will never forget again!” “Delirious,” said the doctor, with his finger on her pulse. “Must be sent to the hospital at once.” “I know you could adviseme, Doctor,” said Mrs. Simpson gratefully. “Such trouble as I had to teach that girl, and now when she can do anything and knows I depend on her, she has to go and get sick. It’s all her own fault, too, for she would not wear comfortable clothing.” “Hhs she any people?” asked the doctor in an abstracted manner. “I’m sure I don’t know.” answered mistress; “I really never thought to ask her.”

The old mother waited long for a letter but none came. One day a cheap little trunk with a few poor clothes in it was left at the depot. Benny saw it and ran home with shining eyes. “It’s Lida, mother! It’s sister Lida!” cried the boy. “Oh, goody, goody!” “God be thanked!” said the mother reverently.* > Alas! she never came. A kind nurse at Harper Hospital wrote the poor mother of Lida’s brief sickness and happy, unconscious death. But she did not say that the mistress for whom she had faithfully worked had left her to die alone among strangers; that she had struggled with home-sickness and failing strength, and no helping hand had been lifted to lighten her burdens; that she had gone poorly clad to feed tlie loved ones at home, or that at the last she slept in the potter’s field unrecognized save of God. Oh, woman, merciless to your own sex, swift to condemn, slpw to defend, who shall say God will not hold you responsible for these untrained souls committed to your care in the day when He maketh up His jewels ? Set the gates ajar to your hearts and bid them enter. Make their drudgery divine. For often these faithful, tireless oneS silence your grand preans of self-praise in mission work by the small, still voice of their daily song: “Humble need, humble deed To the highta of Heaven lead.” —Detroit Free Dress.

Two Cats.

A lover of cats relates the following; “One day for some reason the dinner was postponed, but the cat game in at the usual hour. She was evidently much disconcerted at seeing nothing going on, walked once or twice discontentedly round the table, then disappeared. Shortly afterward she returned with a mouse, which she laid on her master’s plate, then going away, she came back a second time with a mouse, which she put on her own plate, She postponed further proceedings until her masteris return, when she immediately began to pur and rub herself against liis legs, as much as to say, “See how nicely I have provided for yon.” “Between this town and the village of Holyweed therei is a country house which happened to take fire last week. The cat of the house, which had access to tbe servant-maid’s apartments, ran up and pawed the young waman’s face. Beiiig very drowsy, the girl turned to sleep again. The cat, however, after some interval returned, and proceeded to scratch the gild’s face to such purpose that she awoke and, smelling the fire, wakened the other members of the house, and the flames yere extinguished.”

What Women Lack.

Woman has the full gift; she has wit and some humor it is true, but she has only a slighter sense of humor, whence comes much marital unhappiness. As George Eliot tells us. “a difference of taste in jests is a great strain of the affections.”— Longman's Magazine. ... 1 - -1.- Q j A bird upon the wing may carry a seed that shall add a new species to the vegetable family of a continent; and' just so 6 word, a thought, from a livingsoul. may have results immeasurable, eternal. ,4 L ' ' , ' ■ 1 This'country controls three-quarters of tho cornfields of the whole world

A Campaign Secret Given Away.

In the campaign of 1881 the two candidates for Governor in a “pivotal” Western State arranged for a series of joint discussions. Doth men were popular, both of tine appearance, and were so well matched in mental force and-as orators that the contest between them promised to be a magnificent one. For several weeks tho scales balanced evenly. But one day the brilliant Republican candidate came up ailing. He seemed overcome, and spoke, laborodly. .The next day he was even less effective. Later he was compelled to ask his opponent for a postponementof certain appointments, which was granted. Before the campaign ended he had abandouod tbe field altogether. Meadtime the Democratic candidate continued his canvass, seething to grow stronger, cheerier, and more effective with each*’ succeeding week. He was elected.* One evening in December while entertaining several gentlemen he said: "I will tell you a campaign secret—which gave me the election. With the opening of my campaign 1 began caring for my liver. I knew that a disordered or torpid liver meant dullness and possible sickness. 1 took something every day. When my opponent began failing I knew his trouble to be his liver and feltjike prescribing for -•him, but feared if 1 did so he might beat me! stronger as the campaign progressed, often making two speeches a day. Even my voice, to my surprise, did not fail me once. All because Warner’s safe cure kept me in A 1 trim.” Exlpov. Jacob, of Kentucky, also made a campaign tour under precisely similar circumstances, and says he kept up under the exhausting strain by use of the same means. —Rochester Union.

A Sumatra Girl of High Degree.

The appearance and attire of a Lampong miss on state occasions is thus given by Henry O. Forbes, F. B. G. S.: The center of attraction is tbe long line of maidenhood, glittering in silver and gold of native workmanship. The hair of each girl, neatly arranged and odoriferous from an abundance of cocoanut and cajaput oil, is tied in a knot behind and transfixed by a high backed comb overlaid with gold plates. Her head is crowned with a coronet of gold of form and magnificence according to her “pongkat.” A shawl worn sashwise hangs from the shoulder to the ground, while from above the middle hangs a rich sarong or petticoat of home-grown and spun silk, interwoven with gold thread and decorated with hundreds of small coins of the Dutch mint, which jingle pleasingly as she dances. Above this the body is girt with a silk slendang, half concealing the breasts. The arms, shoulders and chest are bare, except for the numerous gold and silver collars end necklets and bracelets of patterns peculiar to her marga (territorial division), with .which she is loaded. Often these collars are composed entirely of the large dollar pieces of Spain, Holland and—Mexico, and of half crowns. Of the highest born maidens, the arms from the wrist to the elbow are almost concealed by tbe display of pure “barbaric gold,” for they may wear as many bracelets as they choose, while their sisters less fortunate in the matter of blood and rank must conform to the regulation number corresponding to their degree. The breast is overlaid with crescent-shaped goldjplates suspended in tiers. The waist is encircled by a belt of one of the precious metals, secured by an elaborately carved buckle of the . same material. The rather bony fingers are encircled with many rings, and even the nails are lengthened by additions of silver into talon-like claws, so that altogether tbe Lampong maiden presents a dazzling appearance in the dim, uncertain light of a lamplit balai.

Purifying Drinking Water.

Professor Peter D. Austen, of Butgers College, has been carrying on for some time a number of observations and experiments with reference to drinking water. From a recent article of his the following conclusions are taken: The most practical material for domestic filtration is cotton batting. The simplest forth of filter is a tube, one end of which is stufied with cotton. A drain pipe is the best material, since it can be so easily cleansed. The plug of cotton should be from two to three inches thick, and may be held in place by a piece of w*ood at the joint of the Eipe, properly secured. A filter for ousehold purposes can be made out of A long-necked bottle, from which the bottom has been cracked. The neck of the bottle is stufied, and layers of cotton are placed in the bottle in small pieces until a layer from tw r o to three inches thick is made. Care should be taken that the cotton be not pressed down too tightly, nor left too lighty. The solution of alum is made as follows : Dissolve an ounce of alum in a cup of boiling water, and when dissolved pour into a quart measure, and fill with cold water. Add a teaspoonful, or about fifty-four drops, to every gallon of water to be filtered. No harm would follow even were two or more teaspoonfuls to be used. Having placed the amount of alum solution in the water to be filtered, stir it thoroughly in a large vessel, and pour out the same as required into the filter. The vessel used for holding the water tc be filtered must be kept scrupulously clean. 1 _

The Thoughtlessness of Youth.

“How is your old grandmother coming on?” asked Gilhooly of a friend, whom he had not met in several years. “She died from tho thoughtlessness of youth,” was the reply. “That’s a strange disease. How did her youthfulness affect her. She was 80 years old last time,l saw her.” “0, it was not her thoughtfulness that caused her death. It was the thoughtlessness of a young man who drove his buggy over her as she was crossing the street.” —Texas Siftings.

The Hungarian episcopacy is one of the richest in the world, but the condition of the lower clergy in the kingdom is most miserable. The .Magyar Minister of Worship, Treport, has just addressed a circular to the Archbishops and Bishops calling their attention to this contrast. The Prince Primate and* three Bishops have answered saying that they are considering how to improve the lot Of their poorer brethren.

Rev. George A. Crawford evidently doesn’t hold a dude in very high esteem. He says of the youth whose only ambition in life is to see how high a collar and how sharp-toed a pair of shoes he can wear, and how villainous a looking poodle he can have for his retainer, that if yon thru t your finger into an ocean and withdraw it, the hole thus left will exactly represent the void caused in the world by his demine.'

The Famous Notre Dame.

On the 30th of last January, the Sisters* of the most noted Catholic ladies’ seminary in the United States, the famous Notre Dame, at Govanstown, near Baltimore, Mdt, made public a card, certifying to the beneficial results attending the u’se of Red . Star Cough Cure in that institution. They 6tate that they found it effioacious alike for relieving coughs, oppressions on the chest, and irritation of the throat. Officials of the Boards of Health of Brooklyn, Baltimore, and other cities have likewise publicly proclaimed the virtues of this new discovery, which is entirely free from opiates, poisons, and other objections.

Daniel Webster’s Peroration.

Unhappy Europe! the judgment of God rests hard upon thee. Thy sufferings would deserve an angel’s pity, if an angel’s tears could wash away thy crimes! The eastern continent seems trembling on the brink of some gteat catastrophe. Convulsions shake and terrors alarm it. Ancient systems are falling; works reared by ages are crumbling into atoms. Let us humbly implore heaven that tho wide-spread-ing desolation may never reach the shores of our native land, but let ns devoutly make up our minds to do our duty in events that may happen to, us. Let us cherish genuine patriotism. In that there is a sort of inspiration that gives strength and energy almost more than human. When the mind is attached to a great object, it grows to the magnitude of its Undertaking. A true patriot, with his eye and his heart on the honor and happiness of his country, hath an elevation of soul that lifts him above the rank of ordinary men. To common occurrences lie ifc indifferent. Personal considerations dwindle into nothing, in comparison with his high sense of public duty. In all the vicissitudes of fortune he leans with pleasure on the protection of Providence and on the dignity and composure of his own mind. While his country enjoys peace he rejoices and is thankful; and if it be in the counsel of heaven to send the storm and the tempest, his bosom proudly swells against the rage that assaults it. Above fear, above danger, he feels that the last end which can happen to any man never comes too soon if he falls in defense of the laws and liberties of bis country. —Delivered in 1802, at the age of 20. , rl

Full of Peril

Are those disorders which, bearinning with an apparently trival inactivity of the kidneys or bladder, terminate in Bright’s disease, dialjetes and cystitis. —The first two-net -only interrupt the functions of the tenal organs, but destroy their structure with as much certainty as tubercular consumption docs that of the lungs. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is an excellent, diuretic, promoting the activity ot these organs without over exciting them, thus averting the deadly maladies in which their inaction is so prone to culminate. The removal from the blood of impurities which the kidneys should, but do not, when inactive, secrete, is another beneficent effect of this incomparable medicated stimulant and depurent. The Bitters is, in all ca-es, too, a fine restorative of vigor and aid to digestion, remedies malarial disease, and banishes liver complaint and cons.ip&tion.

Pleading for the Boutonniere.

There is, in fact, a natural companionship between women and flowers, and that is Why flower-wearing is always in fashion with them. But we should like the fashion to be adopted by the men. Perhaps it would not do for them to stick a sunflower in their hat-bands (especially in the ugly hard hats they love so much) in the fashion ot the Swiss peasants, with their peaked green hats, decked with pink “alpen rosen.” Nor would it be altogether wise for them to cumber themselves with bouquets of a size accordant with the prevailing mode among women. But surely a tiny rose bud, or a pansy, would not embarrass the workings of their gigantic intellects to any great extent; and it would add much to the pleasure of that portion of humanity who believe in combining beauty with duty in all the walks of life. — Charleston News and Courier.

Dr. Alice B. Stockton writes to the People's Health Journal that unless a woman has tried loose clothing she cannot conceive how much she gains for health and strength by a dress that gives perfect freedom to breathe. “Sixteen thicknesses of cloth,” she says, “is no unusual number to be found tightly fastened about a lady’s waist.” Concerning this matter, she once heard a Chinese woman exclaim: “Christian women squeeze God’s life! ” A picture from still life—a Bourbonpaintec| nose.

“One Nail Drives Out Another,”

is a French saying that finds exemplification in the way*,fine disease will substitute iteslf for another and graver one, in very many cases. Liver disease, for instance, will soon induce blood disorders, throat ailments, skin affections and eventually, because of impoverished blood, consumption itself, unless, indeed, it be treated in its incipleney and early progress by Dr. Pierce's “Golden Medical ijiscovery,” which acts as a specific in these ailments, accomplishing a rapid cure by its powerful alterative action upon the groat organs of tho body.
