CRISS-CROSS.

1 knew she'd think I thought she slept, Bat I «u rare she did dissemble, Acrom the porch I softly crept— I knew she'd think I thought she slept— And to the hammock slyly crept

And kissed her sweet lips all a tremble I knew she'd think I thought she slept, But 1 was sure she did dissemble,

Oh, tell-tale winds, the secret keep! I stole irway I knew he'd miss me! I saw him through the lattice peepOb, tell-tale wind*, the secret keep— And closed my eyelids feigning sleep

But no, I never thought he'd Kiss me.# Oh, tell-tale winds, the secret keep 1 stole away: I knew he'e miss me.

A Counterfeit Cousin.

H. 8. Fleming, In Detroit Free Press. Edward Gregory sat at bis desk In the Treasury Department at Washington He was busy in rearranging bis letters and papers preparatory to taking the thirty days' leave which is annual! granted to government clerk*. Whii thus engaged a messenger gave him a letter. The young man glanced at the superscription, and at once recognized it as that of his uncle, James Lawrence, with whom he kept us a desultory correspondence. As he thrust his finger through the unsealed space in the envelope to twr it open, a tall athletic man strode intoHhe room. He was broadshouldered and deep-chested, and at one breath seemed to nave exhausted the vitality of the air in the close, musty room. "We're off on the morning boat, Gregory," he shouted breezily "so get your traps together and don't fail us. Fisher sent word to me yesterday that there are lots of club fellows down there. The boat leaves at ten. so you'd better be ready at nine, and I'll stop for you on my way down." "All right," said Gregory, as his unceremonious friend went towards the door, "I'll be ready." And then he turned bis attention to the letter in bis band, which he opened and read in a perplexity which bis face plainly showed. He read it carefully twice. "Just aoy luck," he muttered as he went across the room and laid the letter on the desk, where a man before whom a multitude of documents were piled sat wrltting. "Holt," he said, In an irritated voice, "you heard what Taylor said, just now, didn't you? And now look at this," pushing the letter towards him.

My Dear Ed.—Your oousin Marlon Lawrence will stop In Washington on her way from Richmond to Ohio, where she to spend the winter. I have taken the liberty to assure her that you will show her about tneclty, and 1 shall take as a personal favor any attention you can pay her. She will leave Richmond Tuesday, and will stay at Mrs. Beldon's on I street.

Your uncle, JAM. LAWRENCE.

"I don't know what to do," said Gregory, as Holt laid the letter down. "I have been disappointed twice before about this same trip down the river. 1 have to give it up this time. I shall have to do it, though. My wife is away up in the Adirondacks with her mother, and it would never do for the girl to go about alone."

As Gregory paused to review the case, another phase presented itself, and he continued In a depressed tone: "This malaria is all through my system. I must get away from the breath of the Potomac flats."

Holt smiled. His friend, as he stood before hhn, Rill and broad-chested, had every indication of vigor and perfect health. "You had better go." Holt urged gaily. "I'll sacrifice myself for a day oi two and go about with the girl. Together we will visit the Capitol, the Patent Office and the Corcoran Art Gallery." "Oh! it's impossible," interrupted Gregory impatiently. "My uncle would be shooked at her going about with an unmarrlod man. If my wife were here or I was sure that the girl knew anything of the world and could take care of herself I would go anyway, but as it is there Is nothing to do but to stay. I'll have to go around and tell Taylor that I can't go, he added dejectedly. But the end of the talk was that Gregory, though protesting, made up his mind, with his friend's assistance, to sacrifice himself and go.

Throe days later Marlon Lawrence was sitting in a small room in Mrs. Beldon's fashionable boarding house idly drumming with her linger* upon the arm of hor chair. Mrs. Beldon's boarders had sedulously inquired of each other, "Who Is she? with the moaning always implied by that question in Washington, viK "Is she related to any one in particular—to any one In official life?" Unable to ascertain, they held cordiality in obeyanceand took on that Indefinable manner which women have at command when feeling their way with strangers, and which may be changed without abruptness either to active friendliness or to a passive inditTpr«nc^, according to the durability of the acquaintance

As to Marion, she had taken three meals at the crowded tables, and bad been but little impressed by the faces about her. She had gone to her room after dinner, aad set there, wonderin] why that cousin, of whom her uncle ka written her, did not appear. Soon she heard the sharp ring of the door bell and listening, she thought she heard her own name spoken. A moment later her suspicions were verified. A servant came to her door with a letter for her. She gave a hasty glance at its contents and went quickly down the stairs to the parlor. The only person in the room was a young man sitting on the edge of a stiff upholstered chair. He rose as she oatae in, with the letter in her hand. "So you are my cousin," she said, holding out her bands. "I was so de~ lighted when this note came In uncle's familiar handwriting. I was getting verv homesick in this strange city." "1 hope you will pardon me for not sending a "card," he said, taking the hand she ofitened. "I sent the letter thinking it would possibly Identify me better than a card." "Oh, that is easily pardoned,*' she said in a manner at once cordial and reassuring. Do on know 1 never heard of you. excepting possibly your name, "swrou .until uncle le me last w«k. Is there anv reason why you shouldn't be spoken of In the family r" she demanded, stowing beautiful white teeth as she laughed. "reshape I have never done anything worth speaking of," be answered: "and am n.H at all sure that you could have heard anything good but as had never known of you either, we can take each other for what we seem to be and not begin oa the wrong basis of tome body cIm'8opinion. "Why, do TOO feel that way, too?" she asked In surprise. "1 can agree with

bJ* f-

people in everything except their opinions of others, but in that regani 1 never can think with any one else. I am so odd about likee and dislikes. I never like people because 1 ought 'to, especially relatives. II anything, I am a little more intolerant of a defect in a relative than in any one elee. It's a sort of personal reflection don't yon think so?"

As she spoke he had time to makeup bis mind that her attractions lay chiefly in her animation and frankness of speech. Her nose was not good her mouth was large and only pretty when smiling her gray eyes were simply pleasant.

On the whole he decided that she was a cousin to be mildly proud of. Before he left that evening they were qnite well acquainted, and had exchanged views on innumerable topics, ending their talk with some businesslike plans lor sight seeing the next day.

After he left her, be went slowly down the street towards Penney] vania avenne. He finally entered a hotel and sat down in front of one of the largo windows overlooking the street. Undoubtedly his evening had somewhat unsettled him. He had foand bis companion fas dnating and original, and as she made no inquiries for Mrs. Gregory, he concluded that she did not know of that lady's existence.

The next morning they found that sight-seeing is a popular business. They were surprised at the number of people who were visiting the public buildings. "It is just the same In everything,' said Marion Lawrence. "We think we have a monopoly of some idea or theory until we speak of it, and we then find that some one bad it years ago and everybody has been thinking it over since. I have noticed that in sickness you must always have a case in your own family in order to dfecovbr to what an extent ft has prevailed in the neighborhood."

She talked on in a bright, observant way. making good-natured comments on the people whom they saw. Before the ena of the first day she had become quite expert in reading something of the lives of these people, from their manners and talk. She knew all the brides and grooms, and laughed at the conspicuous nonchalance which some of tbem a flee tod. She was a real tourist and carried a guide-book, which she was always consulting, and her face wore such an expression of conscientious resolve to see everything there was to be seen, that her companion began to feel the necessity of being informed and was glad to avail himself of an opportunity so fortunate.

After three days of this, days of delight to them both, she announced her intention of resting for a day before visiting the Corcoran Art Gallery.

I cannot appreciate pictures when I am tired,"she averred the evening of the third day as they stood on the steps. "I am going to rest to-morrow, and when I go to the gallery I shall go alone. I can remember pictures so much better when I give myself up to them."

It was then that he thought of the restfu.ness of that view of the Potomac as it fades into the horizon on its way to the sea, and so he asked her to go out in bis boat. The next afternoon at 5 o'clock they were on the river. Under his vigorous strokes the boat shot through the water,and, Marion steering, assed under the aqueduct bridge and urther on to where the stream grows narrower and the woods on the Virginia shore thicken and ferns nod on the banks. He was silent, feeling not altogether guiltless, but he s6on gave himself up to the pleasure of the hour and was enjoying himself in the role of what she supposed him to be—an unmarried cousin. He was watching her face as he pulled steadily along and it was not without surprise that he saw in it the passionate love she felt for the things about her. Something had made her beautiful. The breeze had brought the red to her cheek, but that was not it her hair had blown up in a soft little aureole above her brow, but that was not the special attraction. It was her eyes which, looking now into the green water, now at the sky, or into the soft jray of the woods, had grown suddenly argeand luminaous with feeling.

They stopped for a time at one of the boat club landings. Marion sat in the stern of the boat, while her companion clambered over the high rocks in search of maiden-hair ferns. It was all like a delicious dream to her. The shadows were creeping over the already dim woods, ana tho darkening water waves of sweet odors were drifting over her face, and as he came back bringing for her a bunch of tender greens she looked up, her face aglow.

There are no words that can express my pleasure," she said, holding out her hand, "but I wish to thank you now."

The twilight had come. He took her hand in his. His own feelings were so wrought upon by the novelty of bis position and the sweetness of the soul that was shining through her eyes that his caution forsook him. and as he felt her soft, warm hand in his he gave it a pressure, and after holding it closely for a moment dropped down on his seat in the boat with a guilty cowering of spirit, and took up the oars.

Ever since afternoon there had hung in the east the gnostly shape of the moon that crept higher and higher like a phantom, and as they emerged from the shadow of the woods there maced forth that pale electric flood of light that sets young hearts athrob. As they went softly down the stream he was reviewing the circumstance that led to his indiscretion, and he did not oxcuse or snare himself. When they landed he placed her wrap about her shoulders. A faint blush showed itself in her cheek it was only for a moment but it was enough to make him more uncomfortable than before.

It Is interesting to note the estimate which the world makes of acquaintanceships. brief or prolonged. A man may extend ten or twelve visits over a period of several months, and at the end of that time take almost any step without seeming premature but if af ter a two-days' trip on train or boat, in constant companionship with a woman (who, in nine cases out of ten, will, on der those circumstances, reveal more of her inner life than she would everdo in her own home) if, after noting all those foibles and characteristics which come to the surface iu traveling, a man takes any decisive stop towards showing strong preference, there are great family convulsion*,and society isamazed.

Marion Lawrence had a practical view of life, and she felt no distress at any thing which her cousin had done. She felt herself to be very well acquainted with him. She could net remember that she had ever before spent so much time in the society of any one man. To be sure it was a little absurd, as they were cousins, that be ahonld pnww heir hand in a somewhat impassioned way. She had taken a great fancy to her tall

cousin. They bothliked the name book* and musk and amusements, and were In every way companionable, and sbe did not try to analyse ben* delight of those days la Washington. be next day she went to the Corcoran

TERHE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING A

!JF de

somewhat weary to her lod

lng», There was a letter from her nn awaiting her. It contained a revelation. It read:

My Dear Nikck—I have no doubt that yon are being well taken care of, although I have received no answer to the letter I wrote concerning your visit. I hope that yon will find Ed's wife an agreeable person. I have heard her well

oken of, andEd I know to be one of best fellows in the world. It would relieve my anxiety if you would notify me of your safe arrival. Your uncle,

Jakes Lawbxscb.

She sat for a few moments with the letter in her hand. "Ed wife!" Tbe words seemed to burn into her brain. Then, he had a wife, to whom he bad never referred or even alluded, and she had been going about with a man as her escort whose wife had never recognized her presence, and who possibly did not know of it. N6 wonder that the pressing of a cousin's hand was such a serious business to him. She was so indignant at the deception that she felt that she could not see him again. She rapidly packed her things, took a hasty dinner and drove away, leaving a brief note to be given to "the gentleman when he calls this evening."

When that gentleman did call the servant at the door gave him the note, which he paused under the nearest street lamp to read. It only said that a letter just received had changed her plans. She bade him good-bye, with formal thanks for his attention. He thrust the letter in his pocket and strode dswn the street.

Three weeks passed, during which the demon of work seemed to possess him. He toiled early and late, and at the end of that time took ten days' and went to Ohio to vote. Instead of going to his home he went straight to the town where Marion Lawrence had gone. The more be thought of her abrupt departure the more he was sure that she had some inkling of the deception he had practiced. He went to the little hotel which fronts the principal thoroughfare and afterwards wandered about the straggling village. It had been raining, but was then bright. All traces of the rain had disappeared, excepting the inevitable puddle in front of the corner grocery, worn deeper each day where the farmer's teams impatiently stamped.

He intended to go to the house where she was visiting and meet her there. While considering the best hour for this visit he looked down the street and saw her coming toward him. She was accompanied by two young ladies, and

merrily.

lg"and

the trio were laugLing chatting As the\ at him steadily for a

met him she looked moment, bowed

distantly and' passed on. His worst fears were realized. He hardly knew what course to puisue, but finally resolved to walk on and take the risk of meeting her as she returned. He soon saw her slender figure in tbe distance. She was alone. As they neared each other he noticed that she paled a little, but did not falter in her step. He stopped directly in her path. "You did not. expoct to* see me so soon after your abrupt neparture?" he asked. "No," she answered, co)d!y. "1 did not expect ever to see you agHiu." "I see that you know it all," he cried out in abject misery. "I was a miserable deception, and I have repented it bitterly enough. Tell me wnat you think of a man who could do such a thing?" "It would not be a pleasant thing for you to hear," she said, quivering all over with anger and excitement. "Perhaps it is enough that I am disappointed."

He quailed a little under her stern aze, but made a last attempt to justify limself. "Oh! I know it was unpardonable, but Gregory was so anxious to get away, that I finally consented. He bad been disappointed twice in that gunning expedition, and I thought that he needed tbe rest. I can see now that it wasn't the honorable thing to do, but it didn't seem so bad then/' Here he aused, seeing tbe consternation on her ace. She was trembling, and now shrank back from him. {*4-

Who are you then?"1' Why, don't you understand?" be 3d, "I am Philip Holt Gregory and I have been churns for years."

Philip Holt," she repeated, wonderingly, "I do not think I quite understand." Then she rested one band on a frieudly fence and held out the other with a piteous little gesture.

I—I——I wish that you would take me home." He went with her up the street and np tbe broad graveled walk leading to an old-fashioned bonse. In the aim parlor, which the liberal village etiquette allowed tbem to occupy alone, he was able to explain how he had agreed to personate her cousin, in order that Gregory might not be deprived of hir trip. "You see he was afraid that you would not allow yourself to be chaperoned by a man not your relative, and so we decided on tbe scheme."

After this came her statement, that she had believed him to be her cousin, bat was indignant at finding that be baa a wife whom he bad not mentioned. He finelly rose to go, and held out his band. She extended hers somewhat reluctantly, bat he took it, holding it clotely in his warm clasp.

She had born so much that sbe was fast losing control of herself, and as her lips began to quiver she almost pushed him from her. "Go, now," she said, in a husky voice "I wish to be alone I forgive you

But he conld not go. He was determined to tell her what bad been in bis heart for weeks. While he regretted ber distress, it gave him hope—a nope that soon found a full realization and now they often call each other "cousin," in remembrance of tbe episode which brought tbem together. xtfA^es= Si,

THE CIRCUS.

A RETURN TO THE OLD-FASHIONED ROAD SHOW PREDICTED.

St. louls Post-Dispatch.

"Circuses are getting so large and railroad expenses are growing so rapidly to eat up all the profits, that I wouldn't be the least surprised if the rethrn to wagon shows was very soon made," said James Robinson, rider and manager. "Showmen themselves are in the main responsible for this sort of thing. They encourage the railroads to increase their rates, and in doing everything to cut each other's throats are spoiling the chances of the business for some time to come. Why, shows have been known to lease certain railroads for a specified time—like Barnum paying an eastern road for refusing to carry any other circus for say a stretch of six months. When John Robinson went to California last year he contracted with the Union Pacific not to carry any other circus out the Pacific slope during the summer season. When Barnum aud Forepaugh were at war, this kind of thing was carried on heavily. Barnum may talk of dividing tbe territory with Forepaugh all he likes, but it isn't much in Forepaugh's favor. The latter uever gets nearer New York than Philadelphia, and towns that would feel hurt if Barnum overlooked them, will make Forepaugh pay an enormous license to exhibit. Do you know that some places have legislated in this matter? Vermont, for six or eight years, wouldn't allow a circus inside of the State, and there is now a law limiting circuses to only one visit during the year. The first show on the ground gets the license from the Governor, and no other can come in till the following year. Tennessee is practically a prohibitory State tbe license is |300 a performance, or |600 a day, and 9100 a day for side-shows. The first circus in may make money, but it would be tempting fate for another show to try that territory the same season." -yrx "How do salaries range now?" "As a general thing lower. Th6 new circus is not so good as the old one was, taking it all in. It has three rings, and a number of slap-dash features that rush into the ring aud out so that a crosseyed man couldn't keep up with them, and tbe attractions being more numerous than before, the salaries of course go lowei. The fact is, the new circus does not want good performers, and won't pay the salaries for tbem. The good old days will return again, however, when small but strictly nrat-class shows will be seen on the road, and then first-class peoplo will be given a cbanoe."^^,,^!-^

CIRCUS LEMONADE. Revelation to a Cleveland Reporter.

r"®

"If I give it away how we make some of that lemonade, I am afraid it will hurt our sales, but it's a fact that the public ought to know something about it. Do you know what it oosts us to make a barrel—forty-four gallons ,of lemonade? Just $2.25. It makes 450 glasses, whioh brings us $22.50, giviug us |20.25 profit. On a good day we would sell six barrels, wliich gives ue 183 profit on |13.50 outlay. I have done as much in a single day myself. Here are the items: A dozen lemons, twentyfive cents ten pounds or sugar, $1.50 tartaric add, twenty-five cents extract of sarsaparilla or some other coloring stuff, twenty-five cents. That reduced with forty-three and a half gallons of good Lake Erie water makes a forty-four gallon cask of desirable lemonade."

But Is it harmless fgg "Harmless! Why, man, the very cloth that tbe glasses stood on was turned as black as a coal. What must have been tbe condition of the stomaches after tbe owners had downed three or four glasses of the stuff? I would never allow a child to drink it."

HOW TO KEEP FLOWERS. Cleveland Herald. A reporter found his way into a florist's yesterday afternoon and feasted hin eyes and nose on the beautiful buds that lay in bouquets there. "How long will this clove pink last he inquired. "Oh, withcare, a week or ten days. A solid rosebud will last about tbe same time. There's a good deal in knowing how to keep flowers fresh." "Do you use any preparations Any salt in the water, or ammonia or the like?" "Not at all. That's all nonsense. All that is necesssry to keep flowers fresh, is to keep tbem moist ana cool. If people, Instead of dipping flowers in water would simply wrap tbem up in a wet newspaper, they would find that the would keep iar fresher over night. 1 wet towel or napkin would be too heavv and crush the blooms too much, ana, besides it would allow the moisture to evaporate too easily. See that box of buds They were packed in Boston on Monday in wet paper, and you might say tbey are fresher now than when they came off the bush." ,,

WEBSTER'S REAL LAST WORDS. Buffo! Express. As we have beard the story from a distinguished Massachusetts vfvioe, and as he said be heard it from one of tbe attending physicians, "I still live' were not Webster's last words, but next to bis last. For days he bad been kept alive by doses of brandy, his favorite and almost exclusive beverage foryeara. His bed was surrounded by affectionate and anxious watchers. As tbe vital spark went flickering out, one of the attendants was about to pot some more of tbe beloved liquor between his lips, and the physician interposed, saying: "It is all over—be is dead." Then Webster opened his great solemn eyes and faintly whispered, with bis last expiring, fluttering breath, "I still live—more brandy!" "It iss pity, perhaps, to destroy any popular illusion which is creditable to human nature. But the truth is more

HOME HINTS.

TO STOP BI.KKD1XQ AT THE NOSE.

HEADACHE.

To core a simple headache, put the feet in very warm water, and keep them there for fifteen miuutes. This will often afford immediate relief. If the pain is sever, add a tablespoonful of dry mustard to the water. REXEDT FOR IN-Q ROWING TOENAILS.

The best remedy for in-growing toe nails is to cut a notch about the shape of a in the end of tbe nail, about one-

?[iiarter

the width of tbe nail distant

rom the ingrowing side. Cut down as nearly to the quick as possible, sud onethird the length of the nail. The pressure of the boot or shoe will tend to close the opening you have made iu the nail, and this soon affords relief. Allow the iu-growing portion of the nail to grow without cutting it until it gets beyond the flesh. TO PREVENT THE EDGES OF THE NAILS

FROM GROWING INTO THE QUICK.

On the first indication of the nail penetrating the quick, it may be prevented, if early attended to, by bathing the feet iu warm water, and gradually raising up that part which seems disposed to enter the quick, and introducing apiece of lint under it. The nail will then take a different direction, and the evil will be remedied. In the adult nails, which take this disposition, the ceuter of tbe nail is to be scraped longitudinally, nearly down to the quick. The foot is then to be put into warm water, and tbe neuetrating parts raised out, which will now be the more easily effected in conse-

Sone,

uence of being scraped. This being pieces of lint are to be introduced and retained there until- the edge of the nail is diverted into its proper course.

CURE FOR EARACHE.

Take a small piece of cotten batting or cotton wool, make a depression in the center with the finger, and fill it up with as much ground pepper as will rest on a five cent piece gather it into a ball, and tie it up: dip the ball into sweet oil and insert it in the ear, covering tbe later with cotton wool, and use a bandage to retain it in its place. Almost instant relief will be experienced, and the application is so gentle that an infant will not be injured by it, but experienced relief as well as adults. ... ...

TO REMOVE SUNBURN. V*

Take two drains of borax, one dram of alum, one dram of camphor, half an ounce of sugar candy, and a pound of oxgall. Mix and stir well for ten minutes, and stir it three or foutlines a day for a fortnight. When clear and transparent, strain through blotting paper, ana bottle for use.

FRECKLES AND SUNBURN.

Bruise and then squeeze the juice out of the common chickweed, and to this juice add three times its quantity of soft water. Bathe the skin with this for five or ten minutes, and wash afterwards with clean water, night and morning. Elder flowers treated and applied exactly in the same manner. When the flowers are not to be had, tbe distilled water from them (which may be procured from any druggist) will answer the purpose. Honey, one ounce, mixed1 with one pint of lukewarm water wheu cold it forms a good lotion. This is commonly called honey-wash. Take carbonate of potash, twenty grains milk of almonds, three ounces oil of sassafras, threedrops. Mix and apply two or three times a day.

CONCERNING STOVES. American Agriculturist for June, Those in the Northern States who take down tbeir stoves early in May usually pay a penalty in several days of) discomfort, if not in actual illness. A year rarely passes without bringing a cold storm in tbe first half of June, when afire is actually necessary for health. Fortunate are those yho have open fire-places In tbeir bouses, in wbich during any damp, chilly spell, a small fire of wood can be made,ana will be most acceptable. Stoves which are to be taken down may safely be left to the middle of the present month. When taken down, they should be thoroughly cleaned, botb inside and out, and if a new lining or other repairs are needed, now is tbe time to attend to this. Go over tbe outside of both stove and pipe with commoa stove-polish, which is plumbago or black lead, and avoid all kinds 01 varnish. The use of the polish, thoroughly rubbed on with a brush, is not for appearance merely, but it forms a thin film over the iron, and prevents it from becoming rusty. The pipe should baveall loose aust knocked out, and if it is necessary to separate the joints, ftr»t mark them with chalk in such a manner that they can be readily put together again. Much of tbe proverbial annoyance in putting up a stove is due to a neglect of this simple precaution. All loose parts, including legs, should be wrapped in coarse paper, and placed inside of tbe stove oefore it is put away, not forgetting the poker, handles, ana whatever else belongs with it. Stoves should always be stored In a dry, tight place, where water cannot aceWently reach them. It is a useful precaution to wrap them In old bagging, or even newspapers.
