DO YOU REMEMBER? t ’ BY CAKLOTTA PEBBY. Do yon remember that day, mv dear, (Oh 11 shall remember until I die). That wonderful day of a vanquished year, When under the green of a leafy sty, With Nature singing her sweetest tune, We sat through the long, glad afternoon ? Oh I fair was the world on that perfect day, With song and color and shade and shine; With growing grain and with meadowß gay, With odors subtle and fresh and fine; With the soft low'music of mated birds, With the calm content of the grazing herds. Never a word did we say of love, As we sat in the happy shadows there; But wo heard its voice in the boughs above, We felt its breath in the pulßing air; In the silence sweeter far than speech, Our heart-beats answered each to each. Still is your hand like the lily leaf, With the sea shell’s tint at the finger tips ; Your hair has the gold of the gathered sheaf, StHl like a rose ore yonr dewy lips ; And I know in my soul that to-day you are Sweeter and dearer than then by far. Yet I remember, my love, so well, A subtile something about you then Beyqnd the power of my words to toll, That never has seemed to come back again, And 1 would give more than I dare say For the look your dear face wore that day. Was it, my dear, a flush of the cheek, A quiver of lash or a droop of lid? A tremble of lips that dared not speak The truth that doep in the heart was hid? Nay, the look that over the features stole Was the strange, sweet sign of a waking soul. May comes never but once a yea# ; This is the summer, and well we know, Fulfilment is better than promise, dear; Better it is that the oak should grow, Though the acorn die; the rosebud’s doom We quite forget in the rose’s bloom. Richly the sun of your summer beams, Though May comes not to your life again; And, darling, the something that haunts my dreams, I know with a joy that is half a pain, That wonderful waking May-time grace, Her love has found in our daughter’s face. — Current.

Rev. ELDERBERRY'S VACATION.

The Eev. J-onas Elderberry had preached in Flintville twenty years, and had never had a vacation. Sickness and death had caused him to miss a few Sundays now and then, and after much deliberation, not entirely free from ucrimony, the church had decided on each of these occasions not to deduct anything from his salary, a concession which was thought very generous, as he received S7OO a year, and the parsonage rent free. Still these brief respites from labor were not vacations. Though a quiet man, Mr. Elderberry was not without ambitions and dreams. He sometimes wrote short articles and poetry, which appeared in magazines and newspapers under the veil of “J. E.,” and were pronounced by the editors “imaginative.” So it was not strange that he often fancied himself and his little wife, Matilda, going on a real vacation, and looking upon the mountains and the seas. But these dreams were like others he had of owning a reliable gold watch instead of the ridiculous silver turnip that ticked away like a town-clock in his pocket, or of owning a homo of which he could speak proudly as “my house.” In his sober moments—and most of his life was very sober indeed —he never expected to have any of these dreams realized. The children that had come to the parsonage had all died ih infancy, and perhaps that was the reason that there was almost always some one stopping there. All the cousins came, even to the fourth and fifth degrees, and some reduced to their lowest terms, so to speak; and this abundant hospitality cost something, in spite of the fact that Mrs. Elderberry was the maid of all work ; and so, notwithstanding the seven hundred a year, and an occasional $5 from some editor, Mr. Elderberry’s only bank stock was a few hundred in what was called expressively, “back salary.” Elintville, though an old place, was little more than one long street, lined the road by honey-locusts and poplars. The Orthodox Meeting-house had rereceived sundry coats of paint; but, in other respects, was just as it was the first time Mr. Elderberry entered it. The people were conservative, and the orthodox were the most conservative in the place; so they quietly ignored the smart little pine box, called “The Church,” which had sprung up on one side of them, and the squat brick building around the corner, called the Hallelujah Chapel, and resisted innovations. The Eev. Julius Surplice, rector of “The Church,” took a vacation in July; but as he was an unmarried man, it was supposed he spent the time with his parent's. As for tho chapel, its minister came and went too often to need a vacation; while in Flintville, as Mr. Elderberry read his sermons, it was known that he wrote them; but any male member of his flock, if asked his opinion of such labor, would have said : “It must be easy enough to pit in the house, and write things out of your head if you have been to college.” As for the women, while they considered sermon-writing too deep for the female mind, they yet considered it something of the nature of women’s work, not a definite business, but an occupation to be taken up at odd moments, as knitting or patchwork, when nothing more was going on.

“Nature cannot endure everlasting drooping,” and Mr. Elderberry had twice asked for a vacation, without success, when Mr. Whitaker, of Chicago, after doing something sharp in corn, sent his wjife to Eintville to visit her father. Deaeon Billings. ‘‘l never heard of a minister’s preaching through August!” she exclaimed, lifting her bejeweled hands. And the next Sunday the long desired vacation was granted, although ’Squire Pogg opposed it, saying, if hfe hired a man to hoe corn he did not expect him to skip every other row. “Where shall we go, Matilda?” said Mr. Elderberry, the next morning. ‘•We!” exclaimed Mrs. Elderberry, tremulously. “It's your vacation, JJonas. I—l don’t see how I can leave. !fl'hero’s the hens, and the house, and the missionary bed-quilt; "and Cousin Alzina liable to come any day. ‘‘My dear,” said Mr. Elderberry, with full eves, “if I go anywhere, you shall accompany me.” t Thursday evening came; but Mr. Elderberry had not succeeded in obtaining a. cent from the ‘ back salary.” He had. n asked exactly fifty-two times where he was going, and when he would start; and there was in his

pocket-book fifteen dollars and seventyfive cents. : “Tilda,” he said, coaxingly, “let’s go and see Sister Martha.” Though Mrs. Martha Tueker had like a daughter in Mr. Eldenberrv’s father’s house, she was the child of his mother’s sister. She had been married five years when he wedded Matilda, and had soon After visited them at the parsonage. When she had invited them to come and see her, Mr. Elderberry had always intended to do so; but the Tucker farm was forty miles away across the hills, the stage fare was an item to' be considered, and his wife always leceived his remarks on the subject in silence. Without much thoughjt about the matter, he had concluded that Matilda was prejudiced against his adopted sister, and was secretly vexed; for Martha was the only one of his many relatives who had not demanded some favor of him. “I don’t want to go a-cousining,” said Mrs. Elderberry, with unconscious sarcasm.

“You’ve never had a chance,” said Mr. Elderberry, dryly. “But we’ve got to leave town before Sunday. We will only stay a few days, and I think Martha will be glad to see us.” Mr. Tucker's desire to accumulate money, with his wife’s desire to be known as a perfect housekeeper, had never been checked by childish fingers, and Mrs. Tucker’s naturally unsympathetic temper had hardened into something very frosty indeed. To unpin her nice beds, and have her chairs thrust into new places, above all to have extra cooking going on, and her orderly plans frustrated, irritated her. If she had known her cousins were coming, she would have schooled herself a littlO; hut, as it was, she saw them descend from the stage with illconcealed dismay, and greeted them with the exclamation: “I never did!” “I wish I had brought my sermon on the fulfilling of the law,” said Mr. Elderberry that night to his wife. “Martha says that Zeland Yodecker preaches at East Gypsum. I remember him, and I think he keeps up his Hebrew.” But thd next morning Mr. Tucker hitched up his colt, and with his wife started for the postoffice three miles away. It was noon when they returned, so the absence of the sermon on the law was of no consequence. In the meantime, the maid of all work had gone out to visit the wife of (he hired man, and, in her hurry, had left the kitchen door open. The hens took advantage of the opportunity, and hopped in quietly, till the place was full of them. By some curious instinct,Mrs. Tucker divined their presence the moment she entered the house. “There’s folks who wouldn’t hear a whole menagerie in the next room!” she exclaimed, scornfully, after a vigorous use of the broom. “It’s precious few times I’ve ever been away from home; but when I have I’ve worked myself to skin and bones!”

“At bottom Mrs. Elderberry was a very determined woman, and when she said that evening, “Jonas, I shall take the stage to-morrow for Flintville,’’ her husband knew better than to oppose her. Two days afterward,when he had resolved to follow her, he received the following note from her: “You must contrive, dear Jonas, to remain away from home the four Sundays. In the Orthodox organ for this week it says: ‘Mr. Jonas Elderberry, tlio pastor of that bulwark of the faith, the Flintville Church, is spending his vacation trout-fishing. All our pastors cannot, we know, enjoy this diversion; but let each one draw near tonatnre’s heart instead of hunting up some pulpit to supply while his church has generously given him time to rest.’

“In the Flintville Clarion is the following: ‘We have understood from parties qualified, it would seem, to give information on the subject, that our highijr-estcemedtowußman, Mr. Elderberry, unless some unusual circumstance should expedite his return, will spend his vacation in the exercise of the piscatorial art.’ ” After spending the night in painful consideration, Mr. elderberry determined to go to East Gypsum, and find a cheap boardingplace, where, free from the distractions that beset the parsonage, he might write out some verses that were ringing in his head, and thus pay expenses. Ho had weeded onions all day Monday, and stemmed currants all day Tuesday, and felt that in a sense he had paid his board. But he w r as conscious that Mr. Tucker, and possibly Martha, felt that he was, as they phrased it, “living on them,” and to remain longer was impossible. “I s'pose you’ll have a vacation every year, now your church has got started,” said Mr. Tucker, when Mr. Elderberry announced his intended departure. You can board cheap, or work for your board, if you want to. I’d take ye. I sh’d think ’twould do ye good to git up an' stir ’round after takin’ it easy a year.” Arrived at East Gyp Sum, Mr. Elderberry, was directed to the house of Mrs. Mullein, who, it was said, desired one more boarder. He was met at the door by an elderly woman, who proved to be Mrs. Mullein, Senior. “Board? Yes. Professional man? Yes,” said the old lady, in a high staccato voice, as she led the way up stairs. “We may suit, and we may not. Julia, my son’s wife, gives lessons. P’r’aps you’ll find out one of these days what sons’ wives are. When she ain’t banging the piano, or the children ain't, the scholars are. The piano's just under this room.” She opened the door of a torrid chamber. “There’s two sets o’ twins, and one odd, and they rampage all over the house. That’s Julia's “idea cf government. The yonng man in the room back of this is learning the horn, an’ when he’s home—an’ he always is evenings—he practices, or reads out loud for his elocution. Probably you want a cool room? Hem! Well! This room’d bake an egg after dinner; fronts west, and there’s a tin roof. Another one of Julia's ideas. Our price is SB. I think she wants to rent this room; but you’d better come in later and see her.” Mr. Elderberry did not return to Mrs. Mullein's; and, after long wandering. found a little ropm in a house owned by two quiet spinsters. But the lot was narrow, and one side was a melodean, on the other were four girls

and a dulcimer. In vain did Mr. Elderberry attempt literary composition. The melodeon wheezed, while the dulcimer kept up a monotonous, “Pink a-punk-a-punk! Pink-a-punk! A pink-a-punk! A pink!” •' f When a week had passed, having only a dollar and four cents left, M r - Elderberry set ont for home on foot. He had on his old clothes, but the ministerial cut was unmistakable, and the old farmer who overtook him, asked, dryly: “Hev a lift, Elder? I’m goin’ your way.” “Hev the dnmbdest kind o’ work agittin' help!” he grumbled, when Mr.Elderberry had accepted his offer. “An’ I’ve work fur two men in the hopyard, an’ there’s a sight o’ cowcumbers spikin’ to be picked ’fore they’re too big for the pickle fact’ry.” “I wish yOuM hire me to pick cucumbers,” said Mr. Elderberry. The old man laughed, incredulously; and then M. Elderberry told him his whole stoyy, at which the old man laughed again, and engaged him on the spot for a dollar a day. When Mr. Elderberry returned to Flintville his cheeks were brown and his step was brisk, and he received many congratulations on the good his fishing excursion had done him; but Squire Pogg spent Thanksgiving with friends near Gypsum, and the next week a committee waited on the pastor. “We consider you’ve brung disgrace on us an’ the cause,” said the Squire, severely, when he had detailed what lie had heard. “The bes’ thing you kin do is to resign.” When Mr. Elderberry had told the story of his vacation, and had explained that the money he had earned in the cticumber field had part of it gone to swell the church missionary accounts, the committee were mollified; but there was still a rankling feeling that ho had disgraced the church. The winter passed, and spring was blossoming into summer, when Flintville was electrified by the news that Mr. Elderberry had a call to Gypsum Center, and was offered eighteen hundred dollars and a parsonage. “It’s all come of that old Scran he worked for on the Mile Strip, last summer,” said Squire Pogg to Deacon Harp. , “Scran’s son ’s deacon in the Gypsum Church. I seen the old feller last week, an’ sez he, I never bad a man on the place that put in the licks Elderberry did, se'z he; an’ when you want to drive your preacher, Mr. Chubb, out o’ town, sez he, send him up to me.” “M-yeh-ah I” ejaculated Deacon Harp, with an expressive shake of the head. “If he can’t to his father’s, or his father-in-law’s, or—some’eres respectable, Mr. Chubb won’t git no vacation. -^-Independent.

A Dietary Blunder.

Sir Henry Thompson writes: “Most persons might naturally be aware that the primary object of drink is to satisfy the thirst, which means a craving for the supply of water to the tissues—the only fluid they demand and utilize when the sensation in question is felt. Water, is a solvent of solids, and is more powerful to this end when employed free from admixture with any other solid mate rial. It may be flavored, as in tea and otherwise, without imparting its solvent power, but when mixed with any concrete matter, as in chocolate, thick cocoa, or even with milk, its capacity for dissolving—the Very quality for which it was demanded—is in great part lost. So plentiful is nutriment in solid food that the very last p’ace where we should seek that quality is the drink which accompanies the ordinary meal. Here, at least, we might liope to be free from «an exhortation to nourish ourselves, when desirous only to allay thirst or moisten our solid morsels with a draught of fluid. Not soT there are ~even some persons who must wash down their ample slices of roast beef with draughts of new milk—an unwisely devised combination even for those of active habit, but for men and women whose lives are little occupied by exercises, it is one of the greatest dietary blunders which can be perpetrated. One would think it was generally known that milk is a peculiarly nutritive fluid, adapted for the fast growing and fattening young mammal—admirable for such, for our small children; also serviceable to those whose musular exertion is great, and, when it agrees with the stomach, to those who can not take meat. For us who have long ago achieved our full growth, and can thrive on solid fare, it is altpgether superfluous and mostly mischievous as a drink.”

But How About the Bust?

It is a popular superstition that the center of the car is not only the safest part, but is also much the easier riding. One of the greatest trials of a Pullman conductor's life is the fact that about every passenger asks for lower center birth the first thing, and is frequently indignant because it cannot be had. If the center of the car rides any easier than the end, then onr cars, built as solid and strong as they are, spring up and down in the middle precisely as does a buckboard. If they do not, why should it ride easier? As for safety, if you are in the rear of the last car on the train,and another train runs into the rear, you are liable to get hurt. In all other accidents you.can conjure up as liable to occur, it is safest. If Ahead collision there is nothing back of yon to add force to the blow. If the car leaves the track and collides with a bridge or any obstruction on a side track it will not be in yonr end. If the train is thrown down an embankment, there is nothing to land on top of yon. Then this location is the most pleasant. From it you can watch all the movements of your fellow passengers, often a good way of phasing the hours of a long, tedious journey. If your eye happens to catch a particularly fine view, yon can, by turnning in yonr seat or stepping to the door, take it all in. If there is a safest part of a train it is in the last car. —Elmira Baitroad News.

Toe take np motion can hi changed to any number of picks without changing the wheels or p.nions. It will run 129 to 130 picks per minute on gros grains, and up to 150 on satins.

The Epidemic of Crime.

Whence comes this epidemic of snioides and murders? Uecent discussions have named several causes. Hon. C. H. Reeve, of Indiana, charges if to infidel teachings—holding that hopelessness of a future state cripples lortitude for bearing life's ills. Another der olares suffering from the universal business depression the cause. A third writer attributes it to increasing Insanity. A physician thinks much of the tendency la inherited, while temperance advocates lay the responsibility upon strong drink. Free-thinkers have committed suicide, but so have orthodox churchmen. Financial straits many, but the wealthy have aitfotaken their life. Insanity and dissipation have preceded suicides and family murders. One leature common to almost every such crime challenges attention. Wellnigh every report of suicide and family murder mentions the perpetrator as having ‘-for some time been subject to melancholy.” Whence tomes this? All recognized medical authorities tell us that tho fire which consumes the bfJrtnls' always kindled by derangements of digestion; that good digestion is impossible without pure blood, and pure blood is never known when’the liver and kidneys are out of order. Under such circumstances, a preventive should be sought, and for this Warner's Safe Cure is sovereign fact conceded by the best authorities in the land, and it is especially commended by the celebrated Dr. Dio Lewis.—lf ochcster Democrat.

Old Fogyisin.

The rubs, disappointments, and sorrows of a hard world make lotos land a necessity; and what most interests us is always seen through a lotos land mist. Youth looks forward, age backward, through this magical haze. What is ambition in the one becomes old fogyism in the other, and both are living in air-castles and develop their best thoughts and actions in this unreal abode. Fashion has changed much, but it has not ahanged the deeper tissue of the heart or the deeper nerve organization of the brain. It has written the ban against sentimentalism, but real sentiment remains untouched by its decrees. Fashioq itself has its old fogy dreams, and the worldhardened, cynical old dowager herself, who has closed her ears to praise or censure, nods paralytically before her fire, and finds her lotos land in the flaming coals. An old fogy is not old, though he be a patriarch as to years; age may have shriveled his flesh, robbed him of his teeth, and distorted his joints with rheumatism, but the sap of youth is untouched in h : s heart. He is the real and only successful alchemist; he has discovered the virgin earth called “old fogyism,” and by its aid is able to convert all the baser metals of life into pure and uneorrupted gold.— Boston Gazette. As if by magic one’s pains vanish if he be a sufferer from rheumatism or neuialgia and applies St. Jacobs Oil, the pain-ban-isher. For Coughs and Colds Bed Star Cough Cure is a safe, pleasant, sure remedy.

The Medical Practitioner and the Charlatan.

Do not draw a wrong inference from the frank statement of the difficulties which beset the medical practitioner. Think, rather, if truth is so hard of attainment, how precious are the results which the consent of the wisest and most experienced among the healers of men agrees in accepting. Think what folly it is to cast them aside in favor of palpable impositions stolen frdm the records of forgotten charlatanism, or of fantastic speculations spun from the squinting brains of theorists as wild as tho Egyptian astronomer.— Oliver Wendell Holmes.

The Clangor of an Alarm Bell

Close by. In the stillness of the night, conld scarcely startle the ordinary individual more than do trifling noises the nervous invalid. But once the nerves are braced and the system invigorated with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, this abnormal sensitiveness is succeeded by a tranquillity not to be disturbed by trivial causes. Impaired digestion is a fertile canse of nerve weakness and unnatural mental gloom, and a vigorous renewal of the Action of thf* is" one of the surest means of invigorating and qnleting the nerves. Insomnia, or sleeplessness, a form of nervous disease, is unquestionably benefited by sedatives, when it is prolonged, or of frequent occurrence, but its permanent removal is more effectually achieved with the Bitters. ’ his medicine is also signally efficacious for malaria, rheumatism, constipation, liver complaint, and torpidity of the kidneys and bladder.

Hand-Shaking To-day.

There is something wrong with the way in which yotfng men of to-day shake hands. I either get a shake which impresses me with the idea that the other party doesn’t care whether we shake or not, or I suddenly feel my hand grasped with a vise-like grip which makes my backache. The young man of to-day wants to show either bis languidness or his muscle. —Pittsburg letter. > n

Experiments in Tasting.

From some experiments made at the University of Kansas, it appears that the avferage person can taste the bitter of quinine when one part is dissolved in 152,000 of water. Salt water was detected with one part in 640 of water, sugar in 288 of water, baking soda in 48 of water. In nearly all cases females could detect a smaller quantity than males. —Chicago Herald.
