EX-CONGRESSMAN'S INVITATION.

Maiden frank and free,

Leave the town with me I

Leave the city for the woodlands, For the fields of emerald corn, r' For the meads, with running streamlets

Singing praises to the morn For the hills that bound the distance. Crowned with purple diadems For the sunshine on the dewdrops,

Decking trees and plants with gems

Maiden sweet and fair, Young and debonair,

Leave the rity's smoke and hurry, Never ceasing toil and pain, Noisy streets and noisome alleys,

Love of gold and greed of gain, Where the soul is cribbed and cabined,

1Where

the heart has lack of room,

Where the ghosts of want and hunger BJalk around in robes of gloom.

Maiden dear and free, Nature here we see—

Nature in her robes of beauty, Glowing in her summer dress, Free from artificial fetters,

Free from sorrow and distress, Soothed by sound of running waters, Charmed by humming of the bees, Let us rent within the shadows

Of the grand primeval trees. —Thomas Dunn English in Independent.

JIM REED'S PRIZE.

Never heard tell of Jim Reed and the timo ho had with that postage stamp girl from North Carolina? Why, I thought everybody know about that. Well, the way it happened was this: Jim was in charge of a coal mine down near Trinidad, Colo. The mine milly belonged to Uncle Sam, but there were two or three different sets of peoplo who were trying to provo up on it, and Jim was sent down by the richest of the lot to sort of hold the fort, being that possession is nino points of tho law, as the saying goes, and rather more when it conies to a land cm so.

Well, at first Jim thought he had a soft snap. There wasn't much work to do except to cook his own meals and look after tho little log cabin and the littlo §2 a day coming in as regularly as tho clock ticked, but it didn't tnko him long to find out that tho hardest kind of a job a man can tackie is one whoro he doesn't have anything to do, and that's exactly what was the matter with Jim, and that's whoro tho trouble began.

Now, I never know exactly whether it was because of the ordinary way that satan fixes up mischief for people out of work or whether it's sort of human nature for a man to go and got married when ho hasn't anything elso to do, but at any rato Jim seemed to get mighty fond of the postofflco all of sudden, and then he began to let on that thoro was a girl back cast that he had known for a long time that was likely to con.o out and help hold down that conl claim. Some of tho neighbors euspicioned that sho was a postage stamp girl, but Jim eaUl no sho was an old schoolmate of his that ho had known when ho was a kid, and that tho two of them had always been kind of sweet on each other and only waiting until thoy could see their way clear to getting married.

And then, after awhile, Jim went up to the hotel at Trinidad and gave it out that ho was going to meet his brklo, and she was to bo tl.ero on a certain day, and ho was to bo back at tho station on another day with his wlffc—they wero to bo married at the hotel and tho neighbors thought it wouldn't bo any more than polite to meet tho newly married couple at tho station and givo thoui a pleasant welcome to their western home. But, in spite of the folks at tho depot to meet them, Jim didii mo, and ho didn't conio tho next day, tu.d tho nest day ho did come, but he oanre nlono, and ho explained to tho folks that after he had been at tho hotel a couple of days he got letter from JVlinnio saying that sho couldn't coiuo at tho timo sho said she would.

So that made more talk than over, and some of tho boys wanted to bet that sho wouldn't come at all. But about a couple of months after Jim got another letter, and it said this time she was coming Buro, and Jim went to Trinidad again, though this timo ho didn't toll anybody he was going on account of tho way ho had been joshed before. Hut when ho got to tho hotel he found that tho people thoro seemed to know his affairs pretty well, either on account of what he'd told them tho other time or elso because tho wholo county by that timo know pretty well about Jim and his postage stamp «°t having much elso to talk about, as you might guoss.

So the clerk said real polite like, "Well, Mr. Heed, wliondo you expect Mrs. Hoed?" And there was nothing for Jim to do but redden up liko alien Davis applo and toll him. And, of eourse, tho wholo town was on tho lookout for Mluuio, from tho kid who sold apples at tho depot to Judge CooiuLs, who used to leave his sent in the courtroom and walk over to tho window when tho train ciuno in, for they looked for her more tliau ono day, and poor Jim said ho didn't know whether he was a widow or an orphan, because ho didn't got any letter and didn't know what to expect. So ho waited around for pretty nearly a week, on ting" his head off at tho hotel and nothing to shciw for it, and finally ho uiado up his mind that he'd have to go back to tluv cabin again all by his lonesome.

But tho very night that .Tim made up his itiind that he'd have to go back the next day something did happen. Tho train was late that night, and Jim had got so discouraged waiting that ho didn't think there was any ut» of sitting up, so he went off to bed early. When the bus came up to the hotel from tho depot, somebody says to the night clerk, "She's come." And sure enough she had, and nobody had any doubts about who "she" was.

She wasn't more than 30 years old, kind of chunky and not so very bad looking for the kind, as the fellow said. But tho worst thing about her was her complexion, which was coffee color, and if a fellow had that color of coffee he wouldn't kick on there being too much water in it either. Then she had pretty thick lips, and her hair was black nod shiny like apiece of wet coal. "Negro, by jiiniuy!" toys the night clerk, but she wasn't. At least the straight hair didn't look that way, and there's a whole lot of Indian blood among some of those North Carolina folks,

I've heard.

Well, there she was, anyway, and some of the folks who had seen a photograph of Minnie that Jim used to carry around said she didn't look any more like that picture than the least little bit in the world. "1 believe she Is a postage stamp girl/' said the night clerk, and everybody around agreed that they thought so too. What's a postage it&mp girl* No, It Isn't a young lady that #eUs stamp* In a postoflSce. A postage stamp girl tea girl that answers advertisement* in a mnv.«jj«per: "Wanted —A young woman of not much «en«c and considerable money," and get married through the postoflice.

So just to make #uie about It, the clerk put' up'a job on Jim, and besides, he want* ed to punish htm for the yarns he'd been telling about the little sweetheart of his

boyhood's days, and the golden haired darling with curls that used to sit across the alsln from him in school. Next morning Jim got up earlier than usual, because be was going back to the cabin and ordered a big breakfast of everything there was, be cause be kind of hated to settle down again to bis own cooking and after be was about half way through, here comes Minnie promenading along into that dining room like a mulley cow into a cornfield, and the waiter brings her along and sets her down square in front of Jim, and on the other side of the same table, and Jim never said a word, only kind of sized her up and went on eating his breakfast and thinking to himself probably that he was glad that "Minnie" wasn't that sort and wondering what kind of a man would get her for a husband. And she didn't know him either, because some of the women in the hotel who were on to the game had told her that Mr. Reed hadn't come in from the mine yet, and she had said the same yarn about being schoolmates, and so on, so they must have fixed it up between them to tell to the folks.

Minnie didn't seem to be hungry like Jim was, so she got through almost as soon as he did, and when she came out into the office the clerk called to Jim. and when he cfinje up the clerk says: "Miss Watson, permit me to introduce .Mr. Reed." For a minute Jim didn't seem to catch on at all, but when ho did he never staggered a bit, nor let on that it wasn't exactly what be had been expecting.

But when they were alone in a little parlor, Jim says, "You've deceived me." "How's that," says she. "The photograph you sent me wasn't yours," says Jim. "And the photograph you 6ent me wasn't yours," says she, and no more it was, beoauso when they first began writing letters Jim didn't know that it would ever amount to anything, and as he was living so far away from town that it wasn't convenient to have his picture taken, ho sent along ono of a good looking fellow who was cowboy down Rocky Ford way. "Now, see hore," says Jim, "I can't marry you, that's sure. But I'll tell you what

will do. I'll pay your oxpenses,

and I'll give you $50 besides if you'll go back to North Carolina." "Jim Reed," says the woman, and her eyes began to shine liko you've seen the fire creeping up through a lump of lignite, "Jim Reed," says she, "for I reckon that's your name, according to what these folks out here told mo, I didn't come out yere for no $50. Maybe I ain't no fine lady, and may bo I ain't no orange blossom for beauty, but I am an honest, hardworking ing girl that hasn't got anything to be ashamed of unless it is this yero fool trick that I'm playing now. I've done said goodby to all tho friends I've got in the world, I'vo dono spent all the money I've earned by hard work a-flxin up for this yero trip, I've dono pawned my trunk to tho railroad company to get me to this place, I done come all the way out to Colorado for love of a man I never soon, to marry you and be a good wife to you, and 'fore the Lord, Mr. Reed, l'zo g'wine to doit!"

And sho did. The ceremony was performed by the minister in tho hotel parlor. Jim paid bis last $10 bill to get the bride's trunk from the grasp of tho unfeeling corporation, and tho newly married pair started for tho cabin at the coal mine.

There isn't much more to tell, except that she did make Jim a good wife. There wasn't a better kept or more comfortable cabin on the creek than Jim's, and there wasn't a warmer heart ornmo*3 generous hand in all the county than Mrs. Jim's. For evorybody that canio along that road, fiom the minister down to a Mexican tramp, there were kind word and a square meal. After awhilo Jim was mado postmaster, and Mrs. Jim says tho postmaster general in Washington sent Jim a letter thanking hint for being such a good postmaster and saying that tho government would hardly know how to get along without him, iiut the postmaster up at Trinidad says that was only a circular that was sent to all the postmasters. Jim never did quite get over his shock at tho hotel. He did get so ho was pretty well satisfied with tho postage stamp girl, but he never was real proud of her, but sho was of him, and if she ever saw anything wrong in the way he acted toward her sho never lot on to anybody, and when the disputo about the coal claim was settled and Jim moved away evorybody around cared a good defcl loss about seeing him go, for all ho was populur, than for losing Mrs. Jim.

A Musical Asylum.

To the clmritablo institutions which owe their oxistenco to musicians and their wills —as in the 'instances of Rossiui, Meyerbeer, Verdi and many more—is now to be added tho new Asylum For Homeless Children and its crecho founded by the late Leo Delibes, tho eminent French composer, through tho careful observance of his wishes by his widow, Mine. DelibesDeimi.'i. The establishment, formally accepted by tho municipality of tho city ol Paris, represents a great boon. It offers, With its endowment, a gift of about $40,000. The building is a perfectly appointed one in tho suburb CMchy-la-Qarenne, and it shelters already many of its little pensioners and guests. It is a pleasant thought in hearing "Lakme" sung, or in being entertained with tho liveliness and grace of the ballet "Coppelia," that its composer's name is cut over the door of the"Asile Leo Delibee," and that royalties on the composer's best scores niAt percentages on their innumerable French performances have kept little Parisians from brutality, vice, disease and the streets.—Harper's Weekly.

Foreign English.

The following notice is displayed in hotel in Norway: Bath! First class batb. Can anybody get. Tuehbath. Warm and cold. Tob bath and shower bath. At any time. Except Saturday. By two hours forbore." And this is the notice that was ported up recently in an art exhibition in Tokyo: "Visitors are requested at the entrance to show tickets for inspection. Tickets are charged 10 cens and 3 cens, for the special and common respectively. No visitor who is mad or intoxicated is allowed to enter in, if any person found in shall be claimed to re tiro. No visitor is al lowed to carry in with himself any parcel, umbrella. stick and the like kind, except his purse, and Is strictly forbidden to take within himself dog, or the same kind of beasts. Visiter is requested to take good (sue of himself from thievely."

Moral Beauty.

Moral beauty cannot coexist with radical defects of principle. The character that is unable to resist temptation, er unwilling to stick faithfully to duty, is no mote truly beautiful, whatever be its generous impulses or amiable traits, than a figure which cannot support Its own weight. Parts of it may be admirable, but, as a whole, as a unity, It cannot be rightly called a beautiful character, for it took* the foundation. —New York Ledger.

Reform In Ancient Stuttgart.

The question of the nightly illumination of the old city was always a contested one, and fiercely waged the warfare between flie dukes and the town authorities. It was Eberhard Lndwig who finally defied the doughty magistrates and ordered that a number of lanterns should be supplied. The lanterns were provided, but the magistrates would not allow them to be lighted. A hot contest followed between the duke and the chief magistrate. The latter had but one response for all the angry remonstrances of the duke, "When people should be brought into view be fore the eyes of night thieves, how easy it would be for them to drag their victims to a dark place, plunder and kill them!" Eberhard was obliged to give np his project.

Duke Carl insisted that the streets should be lighted and carried his point, but no sooner had be removed his residence to Lcdwigsbnrg than complete darkness once more nightly settled over the streets of Stuttgart Iron pillars, to which shallow pans were attached, were stationed at regular intervals along the streets. When, on extraordinary occasions, illumination was allowed, rosin and pitch were lighted in these pans, and the flickering flames only addfd vreirduess to the darkness that they were intended to dissipate.

As late as 1770 lanterns hung in the places designated by Duke Carl, but they burned not. The security of the citizens was above all else.—"Stuttgart," by lilise J. Allen, in Harper's Magazine.

The Ruined California Orapo Crop. The partial loss of the grape crop this year, caused by the heavy rains, is estimated to exceed $1,000,000. Farmers and vineyards all over the northern part of the state have suffered. While this is true, it is equally a fact that lost and failing strength may be restored by the persist ent. systematic use of the great national tonic. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which renews and tones the activity of the stomach, liver and the bowels, counteract® a tendency to rheumatism and kidney complaint, and prevent^ malarial disorders. After exhausting diseases have run their course, recovery is greatly accelerated by the use of the Bitters, which improves appetite and imparts renewed .vigor to the debilitated physique. ,f

The Treating Habit.

It was Pope Telesphorus, who died before the year i50 A. D., who instituted Christiras as a festival, though for some time it was irregularly held in December, April and May. But for centuries before there had been a feast of Yule among the northern nations, whose great enjoyment was in drinking the wassail bowl or cup. Nothing gave them so much delight as indulgence in "carousing.ale," especially at the season of short days, when fighting was ended. It was likewise the custom at all their feasts "for the master of the house to fill a large bowl or pitcher, to drink put of it first himself and then give to him that sat next, and so it went around.'' This may have been the origin of that popular American custom known as "treating." It is certain that upon our Christian observance of this glorious day have been ingrafted habits taken from rude and barbarous people.—St. Louis Bepublic.

To One He Writes Legibly. Js,

A well known musieian, who writes a very illegible hand, once sent an unusually hopeless scrawl to a friend. The latter studied it a minute, gave it up in despair and then sat down and wrote in reply: "I shall be most happy to dine with you tomorrow at 6. Kindest regards to your wife," etc. In less than half an hour his friend appeared breathless at his door. "There's some misunderstanding," he said anxiously. "I wrote you a note asking you if you could play the piano part of the trio at Brown's recital, and here you've sent me an acceptance of a dinner .yvitatioii, but I didn't invite you to dinner." "Well," returned the other blandly, "I didn't- suppose you'd really sent me an invitation to dinner, but I couldn't read a word of your note, and in that case hereafter I mean always to take it for granted that you're asking me to dine."

rt« 's Twisting a Rabbit.

The wretched rabbit is first driven Into a b'jllow log or tree or hole, ae the case ruay be. Then the twister cuts and trims a supple gad of suitable length, inserts it into the retreat and pokes about till he feels the rabbit. Tho gad is then withdrawn, and it's ten to one that a hair or two clinging to the end will prove that the rabbit has been touched. The twister now makes a split in the end of the gad, feels for the prey again, and when the split is in the fur turns the gad steadily in one direction till a firm hold has been taken of the fur. The rabbit is then dragged out and dispatched, if everything works just right Too frequently things go wrong. A rabbit's skin is very tender, and a rough handed twister m&f twist off inches of skin and wads of fur before he thinks that he has seoured a proper hold. Not seldom the agonized rabbit resists so strongly that the skin is torn off during the pulling process. The whole business savors too much of flaying a beast alive to be worthy of further discussion.

But in one instance the rabbit did not suffer. A clever youth found a hoi under a stump and decided to twist tho hidden rabbit. The stick took hold in excellent style, the rabbit struggled bravely, but a powerful pull brought it forth with a bounce. It was a very curious rabbit—in fact, the only one on record which wore a long, bushy tail and a black and white coat, and, judging by the odor of it, it must have been in that hole a very long time.—Edward W. Sandys in Outing. ,,
