THE KAISERBLUMEN.

ITave you heard of the Kaiserblume,U little children sweet.

That arrows in the fields of Germany,Light waving among the wheat?

By field and wood and road-sid-

Delicate, hardy and bold.It blossoms In wild profusion

In every color but gold.

The children love it dearly.And with dancing feet they go

To seek it with song and laughter;And all the people know

That the Emperor's daughter loved itLike any pleasant maid ;

And, when she died, her father,Stern Kaiser Wilhelm, said:

This flower my darling cherished.Honored and crowned shall be;

Henceforth 't Is the Kalserblume,The flower of Germany."

Said little Hans to Gretchen,One summer morning fair.

As they played in the fields together,And sang in the fragrant air :

O look at the KaiserblnmenThat grow in the grass so thick f

Let 's gather our arms full, Gretcben,And take to the Emperor, quick I

M For never were any so beautiful.So blue and so white and red I

So all they could carry they gathered.And thought of the Princess dead.

Then nnder the blazing sunshineThey trudged o'er the long white road.

That led to the Kaiser's palace.With their brightly nodding load.

And at last all the nodding blossomsTheir sbinlna? heads buns down

But "Cheer up, Gretchen I" cried little Hans,n e ve almost reacnea ine townr

80 they plodded patiently onward.And with hands so soft and small

They knocked at the palace portal,. And sweetly did cry and call:Please open the door, Kaiser)

We ve brought some flowers for you,Our arms full of Kalserblumen,

All rosy and white and biue 1"

A lofty and splendid presence.The echoing stair came down ;

To know the King there was no needThat he shoold wear a crown.

And the children cried: "O Kaiser,We have brought your flowers so fart

And we are so tired and hungry I

See, Smperor, here they are

They held up their withered posies,W hile Into the Kmperora face

A beautiful light came stealing.And he stooped with a stately grace;

Taking the rained blossoms,Wltn gentle words and mild

He comtorced with kindnessThe heart of each trembling child.

And that was a wonderful gloryThat the littleones befell I

And when their heads are hoary,They still will the story tell.

How they sat at the Kaiser's table.And dined with Princes and Kings,

In that far oil day of splendorFilled lull of marvelous things!

And home when the ran was setting,The happy twain were sent.

In a gleaming golden carriageWith horses inagninoent.

And like the wildest visionOf Fairy-lan- d it seemed ;

Hardly oould Hans and GretchenHelieve they had not dreamed.

THE EDITOR'S APPEAL TO DELIN-QUENT SUBSCRIBERS.

Swift he oomes O the comet comes.Ranting through boundless space I

Ignoring the laws of the worldIn his demoniacal race ;

And well be may and the world may qnail ;The comet has billions of leagues by tall I

Tad-pol- e tall I and a tad-pol- e headOf millions of cubic miles I

And he flies like a crazy bugPast planets and moons, and smiles

To see their alarm at bis flashes and flames;Bat he goes right ahead, never asking their

He cornea, he comes, O I swift he comesright toward the earth;

And we may be In his crasy wake.And tail by his hellish mirth ;

And a bundle of comets with our old ballWe would't compare In value at all.

Ah, yes, he comes, and swiftly oomes;And his path is not defined;

And fearing he might slide In some night,Suppose that we bear In mind

We should die prepared. Hence, take thisheed;

THE MAX WITH A HOBBT.

BY H!fRY KTXO.

The editorial head lay In suggestive nearBess to a phenomenal cabbage which someelated country subscriber had left uponoar table," and the editorial brain was dot-ing over an unfinished straggle with theprices of train as affected by the charges fortransportation, when the Han with a Hob-by stepped in at the open office --door. Bewas a little old man in a long linen coatturned back at the wrists, with blue eyesand a broad, beaming face, fringed by thingray whiskers a frosty sunrise sort of face

and ha carried over bis shoulder an un-bleached cotton bag. His tread was soft,but steady, and as be lowered bis burden tothe floor beside him, he said in a pleasantthough slightly Impetuous tone:

44 My name la Joshua Craybill; I live InBurr Oak Bottom, where John Brown stay-e- d

the last night he was in Kansas."The editor bad frequently heard of Mr.

Craybill, be said with a yawn; had oncemade mention of him, he believed, in theNew Era ; and was very glad, indeed, tomeet him. He was also familiar with thefact that Old Osawattomie had tarried over-night In Burr Oak Bottom on his way toHarper's Ferry. 44 An age ago, that seems,"added the editor, musing.

"Yes thank you yes," said the little oldman, slipping Into a chair, and pushing thehair from a forehead sphered like that ofHorace Greeley. 44 I'd like to show you myClassification of Credit my key to the solu-tion of the great financial problem and ex-plain It to you, briefly." After a shortpause, 44 If you'll listen?" he queried, withablush and a touch of urging sadness.

Then be drew forth from his cotton bag44 my pillow-case- ," he called It a large rollof yellow th, which being spread out,displayed upon its created and glaring sur-face a series of diagrams, as Joshua Cray-bi- ll

was pleased to term them, painted Inaggressive colors and emphasized by sundrymottoes, quotations and caricatures. Thiswas his Classification of Credit, figurativelyrepresented a bewildering invention atfirst glance, but yet having a latent methodin its tangled lines and its gaudy, grotesqueemblems, that Craybill pointed out with con-fident fondness, and In the rather hurriedmanner of one impatient to bestow a favor.

There were three separate, but cognate,"plant" In the classification. The first henamed "the r" plan, or bankingupon a specie basis, shown by an Invertedpyramid (ov-rami- d. the little old minim.nounoed It), having at the bottom a brightround red spot labeled, "devil's nest-egg- ."

The next was "the store-box- " plan, orbanking upon bonds, shown by a square,with various qneer inscriptions about ''cen-tralization' "monopoly," "sepulchera,"and so on. The last was the "corn-crib- " plan,Joanna CriybllPs hobby, shown also by apyramid (he luaistsd upon pronouncing it

but a pyramid standing upon itsnatural and fixed base, and denoting, as thelittle old man earnestly put it "the honestdollar as opposed to the rascally dollar" acurrency Issued directly to the people uponreal estate mortgages, drawing a nominalrate of interest, renewable at pleasure, andto be redeemed "only when the bate ceasesto cover the issue," he explained "whichwill be never!" be called out in a raisedand peremptory voice, while a big exultant

mile overspread his face; and then bestood gazing at the diagrams in rapt, oblivi-ous silence.

The editor had given careful heed, butsomehow he did not altogether comprehendthe corn-cri- b doctrine. People seldom did

at first the little old man innocently re-marked. And yet there was evident thouiht,and perhaps logic. In Mr. Craybill's giddydiagrams, the editor was free to confess.Most persons, no doubt, would have dis-missed each contrivances with the pityingIdea that the fashioner thereof was slightlyout of gear about the bead. But he did notso strike the editor. On the contrary, thatestimable person was sure he bad in bis timeheard far more incoherent financial theoriesadvanced by men of conceded and applaudedlevelnesaof brain, whose talk evinced muchless reading than Joshua Craybill's, and whooould not on the forfeit of tueir lives havemade tangible profert of their whimsies withhalf the suo-es- s achieved by this little oldman with bis chart and his pillow-eas-

Keally Cravbill interested the editorHe wanted no odice, he was proselvting forno party. The most that he desired was anaudience, and a new set of diagrams "paint

ed on rolling canvas." Fie did not disguisethe fceltng'that he regarded his key to thesolution of the currency riddle as "worth atleait $10,1X 0 for the purposes of a lecture tothe Oranges;" and yet he was willing totake as an equal parter in this lecture enter-prise any reputable person who would advance funds to pay for the new rolling-can--vas diagrams. He w ished to let his lightthine, that was all and pay my debts," beam with a shrug.They talked an hour or more tagether,

Craybill and tbe editor, mainly with regardto getting tbe corn-cri- b doctrine thoroughlybefore the public; and at length the conulusion was reached that, all things considered,the beet way would be for Craybill to goforth among tbeyeomary of tbe county andseek their votes. He must go in an inde-pendent role, of course, "soornlng the partyfash," and all tbat sort of thing, and askingfavor only upon the genuine merits of thecorn-cri- b policy a opposed to the er

and the store-bo- lt devices. It took con-siderable argument to win Craybill over tothe idea of striving for converts to bis reformby soliciting votes for htmseirt but finally heagreed to make tbe trial. " If only they'lllisten tome," he sighed; and the editor saidthey'd be sure to when once he got fairlystarted. And then arose a new question ; toret votes he must bn a candidate.and what should be run tor It would neverbe known, I suppose, whether or not the editor was serious in his suggestion of the officeto which Craybill ought to look; but at anyrate it was settled that the next JVete Erashould announce him a People's candidateror uoroner. Anu upon this understanding,they shook hands warmly and parted.

All nature was a gladdening harmony tot;ray diii as ne imaged along the bottom oadthat evening on his Way home. He hadfound a chance, at last! and It thworld for him. His inner Joy, new-bor- n sndexalting, went out irora mm r.Ke a benediction, and blessed every thingso little doesit require to satisfy us with life when tbatlittle Is just what we want. He lifted bis hatand walked with uncovered head under thebranches of the clustered elms, and in amongtbe great gnarled sycamores that overlookedthe bluff behind them like so many giantsentinels. For the first time, the songs of thebirds seemed to him not entirely aimless oruseless. He even stooped and plucked acasual bunch of wild daisies) they looked sounaccountably bright and fresh to him; andhe carried them along with him as indiffer-ently as though he hid been doing the like allhis life, never once thinking how odd it madehtm appear, until be reached home and sawthe look of surprise and questioning In theface which confronted him at the door andbrought him suddenly back to himself.

It was not a pretty face, this woman's. Itwas of the pincbed and luioeless kind, givingan impression of Its having been blown uponalways by a north wind. The eyes were gray.full, and vaguely engaging, but there werecurious little creases about the corners oftbem, like "gathers" in a piece of muslin, tbecnin asserted itself prominently overanarrow white collar fastened with a small, in-

tensely scarlet earnelian pin. And the form.like the face, also lacked the conventionalplumpness, though certain cunning amenities of dress which women learn, I wonderbowr did considerable to soften ana dlsguise this unhappy fact.

Tbe woman was Miss Abigail Munger, akind of amateur governess in tbe familyher stater's lamlly--lbou- gb ostensiblyboarder there, as Craybill was. she wasstrong-minde- after a fashion, and kept ascrap-boo- k, and was of that equivocal agewhich courtesy puts at 23. She bad no confidence in anything unlessitcould be demonetrated, as she expressed iu She reckonedseriousness (which she confounded withhonesty ) among the first of virtues; and whenshe smiled, which she did but rarely, it waswith I be precision of a spirit-leve- l. Still shewas kind, considerate, and. in her way. tender, and I make no doubt that many a nighther sleep was touched with splendor bythose dreams of apocryphal cavaliers on Incredible steeds which unmarried womenare said to go on dreaming to the eud of theirday.

Unlike most of her sex, she was a goodlistener, and this was probably her strongestpoint in Cray burs estimation; for, of allthings in human nature, Craybill most likeda good listener. And then, Miss Mungerbad a predilection for figures and problems,and cravbill furnished them In abundance.She understood, too, or seemed to under-stand, every thing be said, which pleased andencouraged mm; ana, lunnermore, nsa suenot with her own wining nsnds mitde tn:itunique pillow-ca- se in ubiuh be kept hisdiagram Yes, they were very goodfriends, and when he stood tbere in thedoor-wa- y with his pillow-cas- e on his sboulder and the bunch of daisies lying at hit feetwhere be had dropped tbem, and told berla hasty, general terms of his interview withthe editor "such a nice, renective manhe said she actually looked almost delighted enough to laugh; and then, at hersuggestion, they went into the house andsat by the center-tabl- e, to discuss the goodnews in detail.

Tbe next New Era contained tbe announcement of Craybill's candidacy, aspromised, and the editor thoughtfully directed attention to it in a neat local paragraph (which Miss Munger cut out andpasted In her scrap-book- ), saying, amongother things, that "the otlice of Coronerbeing so closely connected with the mostsolemn and tender episodes of human life,it ought not to be made a football of theparty caucus or a perquisite 01 me ordinarypolitical trickster." This stroke was in-

tended, the editor privately assured Cray- -bill with what sincerity I can not say" tocapture tbe Grangers," and at the sametime. It possible, head on nominations bythe County Conventions." But in the latterrespect, at least, it failed. The oppositionpaper promptly came out with a scathingcolumn article denouncing wnat it ieucitous- -ly termed "this solitary horseman nonsenseas an insult to the Intelligence of "a peoplewhose fitness to select their own standard- -bearers was their pride and security."And so two other candidates were duly putinto the field against Craybill one aneclectic physician of limited practice, andthe other a dealer in furniture, whose slockincluded "a full line of ready-mad- e coffins."

Craybill wasa good deal dismayed by thesemovements, and It required ail of the editor's knack of persuasion, by theenoru 01 uncle tjlif Tompkins, a well knownlocal wire-pulle- r, to prevent him from beat'111 k at 1 di ic.u aj ucie3, uuno us in- -gained his composure, and Uncle CI if volunteered to assist him n managlug his canvas. 44 This doctor," said Uncle CI if, " iswhat the Grangers call a youknow.

44 How are they going to get over those. Iwant to know? They lust can't doit notthis year, Mr. Craybill. when labor is up inarms and going forth to drive the money- -cnangers irom cue lempic."

And what a summer tbat was for speech-makin- g

in Kansas! Men talked gliblyof "the dignity of labor" who had seldomtried any more serious exertion than tbemanipulation of dominoes, and bawledthemselves hoarse over "the tyranny ofcapital," while they adroitly shifted theirproperty to their wives' names to avoid tbepayment of their honest debts. Meetingswere held almost dally in tbe several townships; every school-hous- e bad its Grange;in every shady corner lounged a group orfatigued patriots, in their Sunday clothes.evolving opinions about "the hardtimes."

In this pervasive and clattering chorus.Craybill's voice was heard as frequently asoccasion offered, piping the virtues of bisoorn-cri- b theory, and csimly, though point-edly, denouncing the er and store-bo- x

iniquities. That he would succeed, henaa no longer a hint or doubt; as soonwould he have distrusted one of his owndiagrams. But Miss Munger, much as shewould have liked to share this view of thesituation, was yet unable to smother hermi giving. She believed in Craybill's doc-trines thoroughly; but she was skepticalof the popular intelligence in the matter ofchoosing a Coroner. Her uppermost desirewas to have him beat the opposing candi-dates. She was as anxious as he tbat hisscheme of reform should prevail; but sMIlmore did she long to see biin Coroner. Theman had become more to ber than his hob-by that was tbe truth about it,I conjecture

and between her faith on tbe one handand ber fears on the other (like most wom-en, she mixed her emotions with her con-victions, and could not readily separatetbem), it was impossible for ber to strikea balance; but when she took occasiononce only, and guardedly to speak thismood to him, he merely smiled in a know-ing manner, and said, " It's all right, it's allright.".And so, when, a few days later, a mass-meeti-

for general discussion was adver-tised to take place at the county-se- at withthe numerous candidates ct all kinds forspeakers, and the editor informed him tbatan address was expected from him the sameas from the rest of tbem, he speedily soughtMiss Munger to show her that here wasdefinite proof of a ruling desire to hoar him,and to compare his opinions with conflictingones; the result of wtiiob could not but be theutter confusion and defeat of tbe ash -- hopper and store-bo- x parties. lie pictured Itminutely, and talked with ber about it a longtime; and far removed as ha always wnsfrom such a thing as vanity, he could not al-

together get rid of a little throbbing of se-

cret pride as be thought of the speech hnwould make. "I wish I had my d digramspainted on rolling ctnvas," came iulo hismind for a moment, but it was for a moment

only. His confidence rose superior even totbe diagrams.

This mass-meeti- at the county-sea- t wasthe event of the campaign. 44 Kvery school-distri- ct

in the county was represented," theNew Era said, " and there were more teamsin town than we have seen in one day sinceBarnum's show was here." There was aprocession, with numerous banners andmartial music; a dinner in the grove down bythe ford; an afternoon of speeches in thepublic square; and in the evening a bonfireof ls and dry-goo- boxes. Cray-bi- ll

told Miss Munger all about it late tbat.night, she having waited anxlouily for hisreturn. He talked somewhat slower thanwas bis wont, and would stop occasionallyin a reflective way, like one under oatb, andnow and then she fancied there was a shadeof suppressed bitterness in bis voice; but hisround, unruffled countenance gave no signthat it did not always Wear, and when hetalked or when he was silent, he lookedstraight Into her eyes.

It seemed from his account that Craybillwas not called upon to speak until far in theevening there were so many orators, beexplained, and so much music. When atlast his turn came, be spoke from a wagon inthe street near the bonfire; and the audi-ence greeted bitn with a merry shout" late as it was," he remarked to Miss Mun-ger, encouragingly. But hardly bad he gotbeyond a brief general statement of bis doc-trines, be went on to relate, when some onein the crowd called out, "Pull down yourvest 1" and the cry was taken up and repeat-ed all around him from a hundred throats.

"My vest is a bit short for public speak-ing," he said, after a pause, giving the gar-ment a little twitch, " and I suppose it didlook odd to tbem when I was gesturing. Iforgot about it." And then, presently," The ls made every thing solight," he suggested, in a Soft, indulgenttone.

Miss Munger moved uneasily in her chair,out said Homing, ana ne proceeded:

" After that, though, they listened quietly.until 1 unrolled my diagrams; but at sightof the diagrams, and before I bad time tosay a word about them, several asked atonce, Does that cbromo go with tbe story 1"

meaning by tbe story my speech, I Inferredand I bad to stand tbere while they all

" Oh !" screamed Miss Munger, starting toher feet and trembling.

" It was all in fun," he assured her with awan smile; " I never saw folks seem to enJoy themselves more."

" It was shameful," she returned, as shetoox ner seal again" it was shameful 1"

44 Pretty soon," he continued, " they became still again, and appeared to grow in'terested, and I was demonstrating to themhow a currency based upon real estate woulddo away with the issuing of bonds of anykind to raise money as It certainly would

when some of those standing nearest thefire began to halloo, "Hire a hall, old man

hire a hall ! ' and then tbe laughing start-ed again, and tbey all came crowding up toine wagon to snaKe nanus wun me again,and the men with the drums beat tbemas hard as they could. It was an awfulracket."

Miss Munger drew a long breath and wasabout to speak: then checked herself andsat staring at him, bewildered and wondering.

"It was all good-humor- the handshaking." be hastened tosav. " but embarrassing." he added.wilh anotherfaint smile.Then, buttoning his queer old coat across bisbreast, " I think myself the meeting oughtto have been in a hall the evening meeting,mat is ior me air was quite cool, notwith-standing the bonfire."

He seemed lost in thought for a littlewhile, and did not speak again until MissMunger moved her chair, and the noisearoused bim.

"Well," be resumed, "I got their attention once more, after a few minutes, andtney were very patient, only ihv wouldcheer so frequently, until fln:illv.

And then they seizedHold of the wagon and went running withit up the street so fast that 1 could scarcelykeep my feet; and when they baited infront of the Court-hous- e, I thanked themfur their kindness, and climbed down andcame away."

He assumed a reflective aspe t again, ob-serving as be did so, more In soliloquy thanotnerwise, " 11 would nave been inme to try to talk to tbem anv more:and a minute later, be said, in 'the samemusing, absent manner: " If only I couldhave bad my diagrams painted on rollingcanvas 1 '

Then he was silent and his head droppedand when, directly. Miss Munger arose andstarted toward the door, and passing bim,stopped to bid him good-nigh- t, she saw thatbis eyes were shut, and bis mind in dreamland, she did not wake him, she onlvtouched his shoulder with tbe tips of hern niters." Blesss his old heart!" she said, underner Dream, ana went soniy out.

Tbe next morning. Uncle Clif called tocongratulate Craybill upon bis speech, andto declare to him that if tbey did not " springsomething very smart at the last moment,"bis election was ss good as settled. " Wecan't figure dead-sur- e on Sandy precinct,"be salu, "for they're a slippery lot downtbere; several of 'em have lately moved inand don't talk, several of 'em are on thefence, and several of 'em can be bought; so itmaygomree or lour euner way. nut tbetown's for you, after that speech: and mostof the country precincts, except Sandy, willao to tie 10, unless mere's been some lob putup mat we naven't dropped on and 1 dou'treckon there has," and with a Darting injunction to Craybill to "keep a stiff upperup," ne mounted nis norse and rode away.

" A man or parts," tald craybill, watchmg bim tin he passed out of sight" a manof parts !"

Later in the day, cravbiu made a trio totown to see his friend tbe editor, who as-sured him, with a profusion of adjectives,that every thing was ' working like a clock."And when be returned borne, after sunset,In the sparkling October twilight, there wasMiss Monger by the front window waitingror nim or at least sne was atone, ana ap-parently waiting for him and he noticedthat ber hair, ordinarily soplain and smooth.was combed in droll oun-tove- r her forehead,with "beau catchers" on either side: andtbere were some honeysuckle-blossom- s atber throat. She bad knots of ribbon curiously pinned to tbe cuffs about her wrists.100; anu ner scrap-boo- k lay opened In berlap, an 1 sne was rumbling over a little bunchof newspaper clippings, several of which escaped her fingers and fluttered to the floorat be came in.

usual with her; and then, as she gatheredup the fugitive clippings, she added, withan affectation of girlish chirping which wasa melancholy failure, 44 Tbe stars are verypretty

" I'm going to be elected !" Cravbill interposed, bluntly unregardful of her speech,and leaning over toward her eagerly, hisisci si-io- ana nis voice noia ana positive." I'm going to be elected !" he repeated, stillmore emphatically, and he wondered whyshe did not clap ber hands and tell him howbappy she felt about Iu

Don't be too certain." she replied oresently, in a quiet snd kindly manner, as If so-licitous to avoid wounding bim; and whentoe radiance left nis face, ana a sort of dismay settled over it, and be wnulJ have toldher all the uplifting things Uncle Clif andthe editor had been saving to him. she simply raised her band like one admonishingan over-talkati- cbild, and he lowered hiseyes and kept silence.

" But no matter," she said quickly, and inan evident flurry; "let's not talk of it anymore, at present. Do you like poetry"Then she nervously fumbled over her littlebunch of scraps again, and picked out one.Baying, 44 Here's something" this withaverted face and a pretense of hearkeningto some possible noise " something thit 1think's real good."

He did not look up, and so she read tbeverses to him. They were commonplaceenough, with feet tbat limped and irippxd,and rhy lues that were excruciat ions of verbalsurgery; but tbey related to the sea, themuch-saile- d and evarlaatlng sea. and to asupposititious girl with blown hair and beseeching arms, standing upon the beachand singingto ber uiianpareni lover, "in bisship so brave and gay," somewhere out " ontbe waves so high and gray;" and this, Itake it. was what made It "real good" toMiss Abigail, for a man with half an eve forfnmiuinH artfulness could have seen ibat shewas tr ing in ber unpracticed way to read tobim between tbe lines a secret of her own.

But Craybill had not even half an eve forsuch pranks. He could not help observingthat she read with a disturbed air, very dif-ferent from the direct, arithmetical mannerwhich was her common habit, but he attrib-uted it, if be thought of It in a critical sense,to the novelty of her reading poetry; shebad never read poetry iu his presenilebefore. The ver es bad no bidden meaningfor him. In fact, he was unable to see auymeaning at all in them (which was no greatwonder), and after sitting a few minutes

itb bis bands to bis bead In a reveriehat made ber heart beat very fast, he raised

his blushing face, and said slowly and

promptly suiting the-a- et Inn to the words.with a little more deliberation, in curtainplaces, than before.

It was very kind of her, but the secondreading left him yet mentally groping.

44 It's tlie primary postulate I can't fix inmy mind," be informed her, and with pitia-ble sheepishness, be forced himself to add:" I never saw a seai"

"Nor 1,'' she replied, "except Inpictures; but it's not a hard thingto imagine; and any way, in this case, itisn't tbe sea that signifies so much as someother things the ship, for instance, and thepoor girl on the bank." Then she went onto interpret the verses to bim, line by line,as she understood them, dwelling speciallyupon the lonesome maiden with disheveledhair and widespread arms venturing herheart out to sea in a song; but the effortseemed to tease her, for several times shepaused and bit her lip as if at a loss for theright word, and at last, with something likedesperation, she turned her eyes full uponhim and said rather precipitately, thoughearnestly 1 .

" May be the bother is that you don't un-derstand what being in love means?"

" I'm afraid I don't grasp poetry verywell," was all the answer he made; and ifhe had looked closely he would have seenmanifest signs of discomfiture in her coun-tenance as she folded the little paper andsat silently twirling it between her rapidfingers, watching him furtively, and glancingnow and then at the ceiling. But he sawnothing of her annoyance. He was notthinking now of her, nor of the verses, norof any thing she had been saying. His mindwas busy once more with the financial prob-lem with the d, the store-bo- x andthe ash hopper, and the "diagrams paintedon rolling canvas." And so hn soon re-curred to the matter of the mass-meetin- g,

the election, and bis conversations withUncle Clif and the editor, and kept on talking in this strain, apparently forgetful of allelse, until a late hour, and ceased bis discourse, at length, only when Miss Mungercomplained, as pleasantly as she could un-der the circumstances, of the chill night air,and said she must beg to be excused.

During the next week, the closing weekof the campaign.Craybill industriously pursued his speech-makin- g in the countryprecincts: but when election day came hewas not to be found) Indeed, he did notshow himself until after the voting was allover. It was nearly 10 o'clock at night, infact, when he slipped into the New Eraoffice with fidgety tread and a pale attemptat his customary smiling, and was receivedwith sundry embarrassing exclamations ofInterest and favor by the crowd tbere collected to hear tbe returns from tbe variouspolling places. Uncle Clif was tbere, blandand loquacious, with bis elbow upon tbeeditor's table and bis feet among theexchanges the central figure, as usu-al; and grouped about him, on thefew precarious chairs, the emptycoal-bo- x. the imitoslne-ston- e. and thedampened pile of paper for next week's NwEra, were all the local politicians, crackingtheir rude Jokes and rehearsing their wellworn reminiscences or former elections.Craybill drew apart from tbe crowd andstood in the corner where the daily accumulations of office dirt and rubbish were sweptwith rigid method every morning. His coatwas buttoned closely and his hat pulledd wn over bis forehead, and there was ascared, apprehensive look in bis eyes, whichdeepened to a species of awe as he listenedto the editor calling out the figures from tbearriving returns. He was so concealed fromview, and so reserved, that bis presence wassoon lost sight or, or was recalled only at in-

tervals and in brief lulls of the conversation;and during the excitement that followed tbeannouncement of the final summing up anannouncement which told bim that in a totalof over twelve hundred votes. Just two (Uncle Cliff's and the editor's presumably) hadbeen cast for him and his hobby! he stolequickly and unobserved out of tne office,and down the creaking stairs, and out

the town, on the road homeward, thefatal news ringing In bis ears at every steplike the challenge of some pursuing ghost.

It was a superb night, and wretched ashe was, Craybill could not wholly resist itsabundant charm. Possibly his very heart-ache helped him in some occult way to seeand feel with more than passing acuteness:certainly the scene aroused, interested, andeven comforted him.' He slackened hispace ss he passed over the bluff that shutout all sight of tbe town oenma bim; anagradually, there in the moon lit wood, amongthe many-shape- d and flitting shadows, tbefact of bis defeat somehow took tbe form ofa presentiment in bis mind, instead of anexperience, ana be snia to mrasein

"She knows: yes. she knows."He was thinking of Miss Munger, and her

discouraging "Don't be too certain," whenhe bad sought to assure her ne was going tobe elected. Then he stopped, and stood listening to the subdued and tremulous flow ofthe river, borne to htm like music on tneclear, eager air; and when ne walked onagain, he went cautiously and slower thanbefore, as if fearing he might break thegrateful spell.

Miss Munger opened tbe door for him asbe came along tbe little patb from the mainroad to the bouse, snd her woman's swiftinstinct read his failure in his face. He wasspared tbe necessity of saying he had metdefeat; sne could see mat plainly enougn;but It was no easy task to tell her bow poignant and how crushing the defeat reallywas. In time, however, he disclosed It all:not without marks of deep grief, which hedid not seek to hide, nor yet omitting to de-clare bis belief tbat the result might havebeen entirely different "if only he could havebaa tbe diagrams painted on rolling can'vas." And then, with bowed bead, he await'ed her reproach.

But Miss Munger did not reproach him,did not so much as remind him tbat she hadhalf predicted Just such an ending. Shemerely gave him to understand, in a fewfervent words, how very, very sorry she was,and then changed tbe subject from a personal to a general character, and began talkingto him about courage and fortitude and thechance of finding balm for the worst ofwounds. "Clouds only hinder the light,"she remarked: "they do not put it out. andit is liable to break through any moment,"

which was quite a neat way of putting It,sne nattered nerseir.

He did not comprehend her, however, except in a theoretical sense, as shecould readily see; and so she made bold to grasp othertactics, and assert in plain and direct termswhat she bad vainly aimed to betray to himdelicately and by inference.

" This is all for you," she said " and your?ood. iou are throwing your lire away,

brood too much: you are not enoughlike other men. And it's all wrong. Touneed a home of your own" she spoke lessfirmly now, and in a persuasive fashion " ahome, 1 sav, and somebody to think about.It wouldn't be any trouble at all for you tofind a woman to love you, and understandyou, and be your wife I know it wouldn't.Why don't you get married ?"

" Yes tnank you yes," Craybill stam-mered, bardlv knowing what he wasdoing, the situation was so new and so confounding.

She could restrain herself no longer. Shestarted from her seat and walked brisklyacross the room ; then she whisked roundand retraced her steps in the same Impul-sive, hastening manner, and stood erect be-fore him, her bands clasped, and her eyes redwith repressed tears.

"Joshua Craybill," she exclaimed,"you'rea goose ! "

He did not reply at once, and did not lookup until he heard the window raised and theshutters thrown open violently; and then hesaw her leaning against the window-sid- e.

with her arms resolutely folded, and herface concealed from him In the runted cur-tains.

I guess I am." he presently observed.and dropped his head again and was silent.

She stood gazing through the window atthe heavens, and longing to have him speak.But he said no more, and did not stir. Thestars shone feebly, she noticed, and themoon was dim and unsteady, and all at oncethe surrounding clouds closed upon It andshut it from sight. Then she turned away,and went stealthily back to Craybill, whostill sat there with bowed head and silent.She called him gently by name, but he gaveno response; she took his hand In hers anInstant, and released it suddenly, and hemurmured something in broken accents, ofwhich she caught onlv the words, "diagrams

rolling canvass," and then his chin sunkupon his breast, his limbs relaxed slowly,and he made no further sign.

Killing Cabbage Worms. It issaid that cayenne pepper sprinkled overcabbage plants is a sure preventive ofworms, destroying them, and will notinjure the plants. . It would probably bemore effectual if a light tincture weremade, and the plants lightly wateredwith it. The surer way, however, is tocatch the mother butterflies, with aa in-

sect sweep net, which any one maymake by attaching a bag of millinet twoand a half feet long to a stout hoop, andattaching athree-fee- t handle thereto. Inthis connecion, a correspondent, M. V.L. A., Morrisonville, 111 , writes: ,4Myexperience with the green cabbageworm was of benefit to my neighbors aswell as myself. Un their nrst appearance, there were hundreds. I dustedblack pepper over them before the dewwas off. After the second application,only 12 worms remained on ISO headsof cabbage. I sent them to bug heavenby rubbing turpentine on their backswith a feather, and now our paten is en'tirely unmolested." Western Rural.

Dry Cows. It is a common practiceamong some dairymen to give theircows, while dry, but scanty living.When a cow ceases to give milk, or isdried up, any feed is considered gooaenough for her. 1 think this is a greatmistake ; and the result is a diminishedproduct of milk, both in quantity andquality, when she does come in. Thereis a large draught on the system to sustain the calf while the cow is carryingit, and to keep tne cow in good condi-tion good feed is an important as when

'she is giving milk. It is my opinionthat $l's worth of food when the cow isdry is worth f l.fiO's worth after shecomes in. An animal in poor conditioncan not digest as much food as an ani-mal in eood condition. If the oow ispoor when she comes in, she will notdigest enough food to support tne system, and at the same time t make alarge quantity of milk. The practice ofturning cows out on poor feed whiledry, expecting to make up when theycome in, by good feed, is a very uneco-nomical one.and will not be allowed bygood and careful dairymen. The way Itreat my cdws when they get a calf is asfollows : In the summer time I keepthem in the stable for two days, feedgood hey. give one duart wheat branmorning, noon and night. I also givethem a bucketful of lukewarm waterwith a pint of rye flour in it, morningand evening. Iu the winter time I keepthem three days in the stable, and withsuch treatment I never had a sick oow.My father kept cows 45 years, and healways gave them rye nour in the water ;be never lost a single cow, ana ownedas high as 30 different cows in one year,

Cor. Practical Farmer.Feeding Fowls foa Health. It is

my sincere belief that fully one-ha- lf ofthe diseases which affect poultry arebrought on by a torpid liver. It is fre-quently the trouble with old and veryfat fowls. The excess of fat appears toinjure the bliod, and tbe liver is thefirst organ to feel the effects. Beyonda certain extent, an overburden of fatin birds or animals oreeds disease. Theyshould be kept in what is termed a goodworking condition, except when beingfitted for the shambles. Farther thanthis the effect is damaging. The liverbecomes affected, and the other organssutler in sympathy, ine evil of internperance may be indulged in by eatingas well as by the partaking of ardentspirits. Long excess is detrimental tothe health, and produces disease in oneform or another, tor this reason achange of diet is desirable. After fowlshave been fed to a certain extent on onekind of food, change it, and mark theeffect. But it matters little what feedwe give to our fowls, more especiallylaying hens, if we neglect to give themgravel. This is quite as important asthe food itself. They require adaily supply of broken clam oroyster shells. These they devour eagerly, and they are as necessary in summeras in winter. Because the fowls run atlarge is no reason why they do not needshells. Where fowls have been kept fora number of years, year after year, inthe same place, ranging over the yardsat will, there is not an inch of groundthat they have not traveled over againana again, and picked up all the sub'stances available to them. Fowls donot, like turkeys, range at long dis-tances, but are more attached to theirregular runways, and feed only thereinConsequently all the material requiredby them is closely hunted out. An oldanvil, or a large hard stone, should bekept for this purpose near their feedingDlaces. and also a lar?e heaD of shells.Break a suitable quantity each day (astney relish tbem better freshly broken)as large as a kernel of corn, and somelarger, while in the breaking there willalso be some like dust and: sand. Ofthis they are fond. When thispractice is followed up through theseason, the fowls will be more quiet,and scratch less. They are as oftensearching for something to cut theirfood, when scratching, as for any thingelse. The birds will be more healthy,and will perform their regular functions, and give their owner less causeof complaint. If well cared for. fowlswill not be troublesome, and one neednot be particular about the breedBrahmas are sluggish and take on fateasily, from the faot that they gorgeand cram themselves with food. Thereis room for study while feeding fowls.where there are a variety of breeds kepttogether. The Leghorns will pick twoor three dozen kernels, and are offabout other busiaess gathering theirfreen food, or reposing in the shade,

their plnmage while thelarger breeds will remain as long asthere is a kernel left. --A good way tomanage them is to fill them up withbroken pottery or coarse food. Therewere bitter complaints about the Leg-horns last spring. They were accusedof scratching all the grass up inthe lawns, and wallowing holesin the walks. I investigated thematter. The walks, underneaththe gravel, were paved with clam-shel- ls

that bad been placed there to be out ofthe way. The fowls had discovered andwere determined to unearth them. Iinquired into the matter, and found thatthe birds were suffering from the lackof their usual supply. A ration wasprovided for them each day, and thecomplaint ceased, while the productionof eggs almost immediately increased.There is perhaps no breed of fowls thatshows the effects of a change morereadily than the Leghorns. I do notsay that in this respect they excel allothers, bat in my own experience I havefound it to be the case with them Thereis no variety that will bear neglect andprosper. 1 here is no denying tbe factthat our fowls for the past 15 or 20 yearshave been gradually improving, both asregards the quality of the flesh and theegg production. Not only in beautyand variety, but in utility and adaptation to many different requirements, wehave birds of all sorts, colors, classesand sizes. One can choose for himself .

THE TOILXT.So many have asked for a

recipe to remove superfluous hairand none nave made reply that 1 navetaken pity on the afflicted ones and sendin my mite, taken from the best medicalauthority. Superfluous hair is as troublesome to those tbat nave it as baldnessis to others. There is no way to remove it bnt by diluted acids or caustics.patiently applied time after time, as thenair makes its appearance, me mild-est depilatories known are parsley water,acacia juice and the gum of ivy. It issaid that nut oil will prevent the hairfrom growing. The juice of the milkthistle, mixed with oil, according tomedical authority prevents tbe hairfrom growing too low en the forehead,or straggling on the nape of the neckMuriatic acid, very slightly reduced, ap-plied with a sabie pencil, will destroythe hair; and to prevent its growingthe part may be bathed with strongcamphor or clear ammonia. The dep-ilatories sold in the shop are strongcaustics, and leave the skin very hardand unpleasant. Bathe the upper lip,or other feature afflicted with tupeiflu- -ous hair, with ammonia or camphor asstrong as can be borne, and the hairwill die out in a few weeks, moles, witnlone hairs in them, should be touchedwith lunar caustic repeatedly. Careshould be taken to brush the back hairupward from childhood, to prevent thedisfiguring growth of weak, loose hairson the neck. Fine clean wood ashes,mixed with a little water to forma paste, makes a tolerable de-pilatory for weak hair, without anypain. Strong pearlash washes alsokill out poor hair. Now, sisters,some of these many hints may be of useto you. Pale hair shows a want of ironin the system, and this is to be suppliedby a free use of beefsteak, soups, purebeef gravies and red wines. Sandy hair,when well brushed and kept glossy withthe natural oil of the scalp, changes toa warm golden tinge. The eye-lash- es

may be improved by delicately cuttingoff their forked and gossamer points.and anointing with a salve of two dramsof ointment of nltno oxide oi mercuryand one dram of lard. Mix the lard andointment well, and anoint the edges ofthe eyelids night and morning, washingafter eaon time witn warm milk anawater. This, it is said, will restore thelashes when lost by disease. The effectof black lashes is to deepen the color oigray eyes. The discoloration known asmask is removed by a wash made fromSO grains of the chlorate of potash in 8ounces of rose-wate- r. Wrinkles areless apparent nnder a kind of varnishcontaining 86 grammes of turpentine in

drams of alcohol, allowed to dry onthe face. For pimples on the face usethis recipe: Thirty grains of bicar-bonate of soda, 1 dram of glycerine, 1ounce of spermaceti ointment. Rub onthe face ; let it remain for a quarter ofan hour, and wipe off all but a slightfilm with a soft cloth. Frequentbaths in soft water will do as muchfor the complexion as any thing I knowof. After a bath always use a coarsetowel and rub the body until a brisk cir-culation ensaes. For profuse perspira-tion, use one tablespoonful of ammoniain a wash-bow- l of water. Do not usemuch hair oil this is an unclean habitof the toilet but instead use the hair-brush vigorously and often. People whoare anxious to get rid of a superabun-dance of flesh must let all oily mattersalone, aad eat instead acids, lemons,and limes; eat sparingly of dry meatsand crackers instead of bread. Leaveall sweetmeats alone and any thing con-

taining starch or sugar. Lean onesshould eat rich soups, oat-me- and theeatables mentioned for the fleshy onesto let alone. Bathing oily skins withcamphor dries the oil somewhat, wheretbe camphor would parch nice com-plexions. After a child is 6 years old,the hair should never be cut save tohave the ends clipped once a month.This will enable a girl to have a44 dowry" of hair, if she only takesproper care of it. Any woman can bebeautiful if she will only make the ef-
