They stood on (he lawn in the red glow of the May sunset--Jean Graeme and Nor- utan Frfiser. Behind them rose the walls of the vine-embowered cottage where the girl's happy vonng life had been passed. The last of a large family, Jean lived only for the father and mother whose sole joy she had become when the dark depths of ocean received the two brave lads who had fought so gallantly through the horrors of the mutiny. Through her lonely childhood Norman Fraser had beeu her friend--since the days they had i ead t he same books and had gone nutiing together in the Boscum Woods on bright half-holidays; had beeu her lover since she returned from Edinburgh a "fin­ ished young lady," as Miss Colburn said; "the same sweet lassie," according to her father. As for Norman--he conld say nothing, •he had become to him so much a part of his life since that life had opened out to him wider possibilities and grander pros- Kcts than his native vnlJey offered. He >ked down at her us she 6tood in her sim­ ple blue dress amongst her flowers, that Sweet welcoming smile upon her lips, and held her hand a little longer than usual in his strong clasp as he told her that his hopes weie realized. "The appointment is mine, Jean; I have gained the position. My probation is at nn end, my hopes are fulfilled--the bright fu­ ture has come at last. God is very good to us, Jean." f "A loving father," the girl said, softly, thinking the while of the orphan lad who had worked out so bravely his career; gain­ ing the victory over adverse circumstances; toiling earnestly with faithful industry at his profession, until now, in the prime of his noble youth, he had plucked success from the heights which before had peared so inaccessible. "Jean," he said, gaily, the same joy in his voice which tilled his eyes; "Je&n, you must look on me with new respect--do you appreciate that I represent one of the largest mining coinpauies in the world? Do you perceive any change in me?" He bent hie dark head until his frank eyes were on a level with her own. "Only 27." he said, with a little pardonable pride in his man­ ner, "and my fortune is made. Will you •*&be ready, Jean, to go with me to the far Southern land in which my new work lies?" She looked up with a startled air. "It is •ery sudden, Norman. I--I--" she broke down; "would it hurt you very much if I could not go?" "Huit me?" His handsome face paled. "Would it darken a sunny July day if the light were suddenly obscured? Why bring so sad a thought to me now, when the noon­ tide of my success is gladening my soul? It is quick work, dear, but better so; the parting will lose its madness if you have less time to indulge in those regrets which find placc in even our fullest joy. You will come, Jean?" She hesitated, a, shadow on her lovely face, her lips quivering--"How con I tell you? You will not understand." "I can understand. Jean, anything but that you will not. Nav, Jean, you are too kind to grieve me without cause. You will come, dear?" For one second 6he looked up at him, standing so strong and handsome before her, the light of his deep, true love in his clear eyes, that tender smile on his frank lips. His hands were outstretched as if to lead her into that glad new life of which he had spoken --it was hard, but she turned resolutely away. "Norman;" her voice was verv low, he bent forward to catch each faltering word. "Do you remember the little song I sang the other night?" He interrupted her, a sharp note of pain in his voice. " You cannot mean?--" Then he broke down. "You torture me; say you are only jesting, only making a trial of my love--say anything but that you will not come. You were always kind, Jean, al­ ways so tguder and pitiful to any creature pain-T^be jkind now, dear; it was a jest-- nothing else3r' e shadow deepened on her fair face, •he answered very gently: "Let me tell you how it chanced, Norman, that I saw my duty in its true light. It was the other night when we were speaking of your bright prospects, and mother spoke of the boys, * the brothers of whom I have only the faint­ est recollection, the two sons who were lost on their homeward voyage from India. It suddenly flashed upon me how selfish J had been to dream of a happiness they could not share. So old, Norman, and I, the only one remaining to them, apart from them it might be forever. I could not pic­ ture the scene of their desolate lives, it came upon me with so sudden a shock; so ' --you understand me, Norman?" *1 wonder," he said slowly, "if you realize the meaning of your words. You forget how long I have held the hope of winning you when-- O, the emptiness of it all!" he 'went on, bitterly. "To gain my desire, to hasten to lay my fortune at Jean's feet, to look only to her, to find it all barren and empty! And yet Jean was kind once." Tears gathered in the girl's eyes. ••Therefore I would hasten these last words. I knew that I could not make it clear to you, Norman; I knew that you would not see it in my light--yet, if you could look at it as I have done lately, yon would acknowledge--" "That you are right to leave me for them?" he asked quickly. "1 could never bring myself to see that, Jean." 4 "To think," she said very Boftly, "of the * lonely days, of the desolate fireside, of the empty rooms; no one to sing to them in the Jong winter evenings,no one--we are young, Norman; she added, wistfully, "we have all our lives before us, we are in the sunrise and their faces are turned to the sunset." "Someday," he said, bitterly, "when we are beyond the freshness of our youth we may meet; someday, when the world has palled upon us and the beautiful dreams we dreamed together have ended in disappoint­ ment. we may meet on that barren plain of mld&leagis. Yes," he went on with a short lattgh at utter wretchedness, "I can see it all,. Jean. If it must be so, if you will not come now--then we part forever." "Then, as yon say, it most be forever. I was selfish; I forgot that yon in the stirring world could easily find enough to fill your life. I forgot that our dear Scotch hills would encircle you no longer. So, farewell; you will have your bright hopes, and I--I shall have my memories. Norman, for the old love's sake, let us part as friends." Then something in her voice--or it might have been the sorrow in her eyes, or the quiver of her lips, revealed to him a little of her heart's deep agony; possibly he 6aw as far in that second as ever a man can see into a woman's 6oul. The anger passed away; he forgot all the hopes her act had shattered, and,coming nearer, took her hand in his. "Dear," he said, and surely he had never loved her with so intense and earnest a love beffore; surely she had never seemed so much a part of his life as now when the dark wave of separation was so soon to roll between them; surely he had never realized how much a part of himself she had becomc as now that their ways were to divide; "dear* I will do your bidding, I will go away, will leave you--but not forever. However wide the drear expanse of ocean between us, however long the years which may pass be­ fore we meet,. I shall hold you bound to me; I shall yet return to claim you. O dear love of my youth! I shall still hold you as the one purifying, one ennobling influence of my life. Fate may be cruel--in the dark hoar One may well look to a darker--but if Time should separate. Eternity shall re­ unite. Yet, after all, that greatest sorrow will not be ours; as in the old sweet days I shall come through the mountain-pass into this dear valley to find you here amongst the roses with your welcoming hand ready to meet my own. O, my dear, it will be worth living for, worth knowing lonely days, worth bearing great disappointment, to gain such rnpture after all! And you, Jean, what will you do?" "I?" But she could not speak. Surely the sacrifice had never seemed so hard as now that his voice spoke her name with so deep a tenderness, such infinite love. Then she lifted her eyes to his. "I shall wait for the glad hpur which you have pictured to me, and, Norman, it will come; Ifeel it--nay, I know it--it will come." A little longer they stood on thertawn, each thinking of, yet each trying to shun, the hour which Time could not much longer delay. The years which might come be­ tween them were lost night of; in fancy they were living over the alad moment which should reunite them. Mr. Graeme's voice aroused them. It was soon over--the hurried explanation. "It was better for Norman to go alone at first, so she would stay with them a little longer," and while the old man's trembling fingers rested lovingly on her sunny curls, the mother, who, with a woman's intuition, saw into the other woman's heart, took the girl's hand in her own and bent over it with loving lips. Then as Norman rose to go, Mr. Graeme, with his, kindly clasp, drew the young man back into the room. "Stay a little longer, Jean will sing for us--you'll never hear so bonny a voice as my Jean's, though you search the whole world over. Sing, Jean, the song you sang the other day--you mind it, wife? "I Canna Leave the Auld FolE' Now.' You thought of us, too, when Norman tol^t you of his fortune, eh, latisie?" How she sang the tender, pathetic ballad Jean never afterward knew. She only knew that it was through a mist she saw the words, and through a deeper mist looked up into Norman's eves--scarcely less dim than her own. Then for one pas­ sionate moment his arms were around her, for one moment her head lay against his heart--and it was over, the sharp agony of self-renunciation, the anguish of that great sacrifice. * Then she returned to the house to smile bravely at her father's cheery words, to receive her mother's kiss with sweet, un- quivering lips. It was over--but there re­ mained the gladness of their meeting day. Not unhappily the years passed by to Jean in the restful quiet of the valley lying within the shadow of the Scotch hills. From the far southern land Norman's let­ ters came like a breath of brighter air across the winter chill of those grim mountains Now they would tell her of the strange life of these tropic regions, of fair}'-like visions of forests in the Orinoco with their glorious flowers and curious plants; every page was vivid with the glow of South American sun­ sets, of rare red dawns, of sultry, shadeless noons. It was never his life of which he spoke, never his alone; in every hope, in every dream, her name came first. It was of their future he wrote, when wealth and distinc­ tion fell to his lot. Their future!--and as for Jean, afar in her simple home, her di earns were like his own, tinged with the hope which made their separation bright. Never a letter reached her but bore the old yearning question: "When will you come, Jean?" And Jean read it with deeper love for the absent writer, but with never a thought of change. So the years went by--to Norman full of stir and excitement, to Jean full of pure content--until one day a shadow fell across the sunshine of her letters. "She was not well; the cold air of her mountains had been unkind of late. It was nothing--yet!" How passionate the cry which went up from the depths of Norman's soul as he read the mother's note! "Their Donny Jean was ill." Not this blow! not this agony! Surely God would be merciful! Heedless of the important and lucrative position which he held, Norman engaged passage on the first steamer leaving for home--a nameless sorrow ageing his bronzed face, a sick horror at his heart. All through the long voyage that thought he could not put into words racked his soul. At last he was at home; a few hours more and he would be with Jean. How familiar the quaint old town! how sweet the brisk clear voices! how fresh and brac­ ing the air! Here he and Jean had gone that sunny morning so long ago--he could see her in her pink dress, with her bright hair falling in tangled curls on her dimpled «houlders. How careful he had been of her lifting her over the stiles and piling huge stones in the brook for her to step on when she in­ sisted upon crossing the pretty stream alone. Here they had gone for a long ramble the day his happiness had come to him. * Mem­ ory showed him that lovely picture--Jean in her fresh girlish beauty, her innocent eyes dim with a joyous mist as he told her of the happy life'which lay before them. He looked up at the mountains, white with the late-lymg snow of that bitter De­ cember, and thought of the morning when he had climbed that tall peak to gather for Jean a plant she had spoken of in his presence. Look where he would, the spot held something of her; her presence per­ vaded the ^hole scene with a gracious charm. It was Jean's smile he saw in the sunlight; Jean's eyes looked on him from the clear blue of the heavens; it was Jeau's voice he heard in the musical ripple of the streamlet rejoicing in its freedom from winter's icy Jfetters. It would be the gay, glad springtime very soon; he would take her away from this northern climate into the glow and radiance to be found under cloud­ less Italian skies. How the bright, beauti­ ful days would be filled with her presence; how she would rejoice in the eternal youth, the ever-changing splendors of that fair southern land! It would bring her back the early freshness of her first glad youth; it would be an idyl, an earthly paradise--God is good. He would not take from them this purest hope. • • , * • • • * He had reached the pretty, simple house which held his happiness, the woman of whom he had made an idol. Jean's flowers were dead; only a few blackened leaves hun2 from liiip stalks, yet here there had been such a wealth of beauty the day they parted! How Jean would delight in the Roman violets and lilies--Jean, whose eyes were blue as the violets; whose soul was pure as the lilies. But--what a hush about the place! He would step lightly--she might be sleeping. In the hall he saw her father, aud even in that sharp moment of feir he noticed liow thin the white hafr lay upon hit temples, how tremblingly the worn hands were ex­ tended. "Jean?" Norman could say no more. Mr. Graeme looked „ap with no sign of recognition in his face. "You knew her, then, our bonny lassie? They say bur Jean is dying." Norman waited to hear no more, bat softly mounted the stairs, passing down the corridor to where the sound of a woman'B voice fell upon the stillness. He entered the room, and fell with a low, bitter cry be­ side the bed where Jean lay dying. He felt vaguely that Mrs. Graeme stood by him, that her kind hand rested on his head for a second, that she said something in a low voice--it was all a dream, an awful dream. , Then Jean's voice fell softly on the si­ lence of the room. It was Jean, but not the Jean from whom he had parted that May night so long ago. This Jean was a child again roaming through leafy woods on sunny afternoons; this Jean was the little girl he bad lopd in his boyhoo.l.

She did not know him, her restless eyes never brightened as he bent over her and touched his lips to her brow. "Jean," he whispered. He had never called upou her before without winning the sweetest answer from her sweet, soul. "Jean," but she did not know him; she was far away from the qniet room, wandeting with him through th? glow and splendor of the strange Southern land of which he had told her when no shadow lay upon the brightness save the fleeting shadow of their brief separation. Through the long night he kept his sad vigil, hungering for the recognition which it almost seemed would never come. At last, as the first light of a cloudless dawn stole into the room, the wandering, rest­ less spirit passed away, and Jean's calm, sweet soul shone once more from Jean's eyes. Her feeble fingers closed over his strong brown hand, her gentle voice uttered his name, her loving eyes sought his. Then he gave way, tears, not all his self-re­ straint could control, dimming his last re­ collection of the face of his one love. Even as he told her of the glad bright land to which he would bear her, the shadow deepened, her slight hold grew feebler; and while the mother's sobs broke from her anguished heart, he felt the agony of that supremest loss; knew that even as his strong arms were around her as if to wrest her from that stronger clasp whioh claimed her, Jean's gentle, patient soul had passed "To where, beyond thene voices, there la peace." Poseiuon. We are told that because waves with rounded backs may have the appear­ ance (but query) of horses or sheep throwing themselves tumultuously upon one another, therefore "in mari­ time regions, the god of the liquid ele­ ment, Poseidon or Neptune, is the breeder, protector, and trainer of horses." Then why is he not also the breeder, protector, and trainer of sheep ? They have quite as good a mat; itime title, according to the fine line of Ariosto: Muggendo van per mare i gran montonl. I am altogether skeptical about thes^ rounded backs of horses, which, more, it seems, than other backs, becoming conspicuous like a wave. The resem­ blance, I believe, has commonly been drawn between the horse, ac regards bis mane, and the foam-tipped waves, which si^s still sometimes called white horses. But we have here, at best, a case of great superstructure built upon a alight foundation, when it is at­ tempted, on the groundwork of a mere simiie, having reference to a state of sea which in the Mediterranean is not the rule but the rare exception, to frame a& explanation of the close, pervading, anol almost profound relation of the Horn- eric Poseidon to the horse. Long and careful investigation has shown me that this is an ethnical relation, and a key to important parts of the ethnography of Homer. But the proof of this prop­ osition would require an essay of itself. I will therefore only refer to the rea­ son which leads Dr. Reville to con­ struct this (let me say) castle in the air. It is because he thinks he is ac­ counting hereby for a fact which would indeed, if established, be a startling one, that the god of the liquid ele­ ment should also be the god of the hor?e. We are dealing now especially with the Homeric Poseidon, for it is in Homer that thjp relation to the horse is developed; and the way to a true explanation is opened when we observe that the Homeric Posiedon is not the god of the liquid element at all.--Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, in the Jtine- teenth Century. Arizona as a Live-Stock Country. Although possessing the necessary elements for raising live-stock of all classes, cattle predominates in our ter­ ritory, say a Prescott paper, over all other kinds. This will no doubt be the case for some time to come, but while the cattle are multiplying very fast, there can be no question that the horse, sheep, and hog industry is re­ ceiving moro attention daily and gain­ ing ground with the same, if not more, speed than other branches of com­ merce. However, the production of live-stock of the latter description does not attract the attention which the favorable sources Arizona extends should receive. For raising blooded horses or hogs no more favorable place could be found in any State or Terri­ tory in the Union than the Salt Kiver valley. Here feed of all kinds can be raised at little expense, and the climate is such as to warrant the health of stock. Alfalfa, the gross of which ao much has been written lately, grows with almost unprecedented rapidity, and as fodder lor hogs its equal can not be found, these animals subsisting entirely on this, and growing fat. Ari­ zona as a shipper of cattle is yet in her iniancy compared with the outlook of the furture. The major portion of the cattlemen of this Territory are men who started in bnsiness with compara­ tively nothing, but by ecomomy, indus­ try, and enduring great hardships they are fast reaching the top round of the ladder of auccess, and as a consequence Arizona may from now on be counted among the beef producers of the world. The Tower of London. It stands on the north bank of the Thames, about a mile below London Bridge, ani in the oldest part of the British metropolis. Its foundation has been ascribed to Julius C:csar, but the tradition is unsupported by ^ evidence, though it is probable the Itomans had a fortification there. The oldest por­ tion of the pre-ent fortress is the keep, or White Tower, so named from its having been originally whitewashed. It was built in 1078. by William the Conqueror. A great many notable persons besides Richard HL's young nephews have been imprisoned there. It has been from early times the de­ pository of the national arms, and since the restoration of the "merry monarch" Charles II., the regalia or crown jewels have beeu kept there on exhibition. THE way to please is not to display your superiority; it is to conceal it from being perceived. Ole man, you has slandered and belied me!

The officer warned him to be careful or he wouM get into trouble, and then walked around the square and took post where he could see the perform­ ance. In a short time old Bowers came out. He was picking his teeth after a hearty meal, and walked like one well satisfied with himself. When he turned the corner the waiting assassin rushed upon him with uplifted club and the speech he had prepared in advance, but somehow old Bowers didn't fall down on his knees as predicted and expected. On the contrary, the watching officer saw him shoot out with his left, and the club-lifter took a tumble into the ditch and laid there while the other passed on. He was sitting up as the officer ar­ rived and walked around him and re­ marked : 1 "Well, it didn't work, did it?"

We are selfish and inconsiderate. Now, we owe a duty to our dogs which we almost all shamefelly neglect. And they recall our attention to the fact by an occasional touch Of hydrophobia. All over the land they are muzzling the respectable and killing the stray curs. Now, it is not the dreaded stray cur which goes mad, but the over-fed, over­ heated, under-exercised pet, and he rarely goes out of his way to bite a stranger, but generally makes a victim of one of the family in a moment of playfulness or irritation. Dogs much confined to the house should have plenty of pure water with sulphur in it, light food, and a scamper in the yard or street every day. They should also have a mate. To ohain a dog up in the back yard without change or society for day after day is a piece of abominable cruelty. We pay a terrible penalty for neg­ lecting our obligations to our faithful- lest friend.--Texas Sifting***, ^ A Mystery. ' How the human system ever recovers from the bad effects of the nauseous medicines often literally poured into it for the suppoBitive relief of dyspepsia liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism, and other ailments, is a mystery.

There are some abnormally sharp young men up North. Here is an in­ stance. A young New-Englander land­ ed in New York with nothing but his carpet-bag and a license to practice law. An old lady fell on him in the street, breaking his arm. The cause of the disaster took him to her house, nursed him and ins sted on his taking a vacant room and becoming a member of the family. The young man remain­ ed in his pleasant quarters, opened a law office and began to make money. There were two daughters at the house, both very plain. The elder had a little fortune of $14,000, and the lawyer en­ gaged himself to her with the mother's consent. After awhile he made money so rapidly that he laid his plans to leave the house and cut the acquaint­ ance of the tamily. Just then the vounger daughter inherited $100,000. The lawyer paid court to her, and they became engaged secretly. One day the old lady was on her death-bed, and urged an immediate marriage. The foung rascal hurried oil, secured a icense and a preacher, and returned. When everything was ready the bride­ groom without a word joined hands with the younger daughter. The ceremony was over before the other girl found voice and protested. The dying mother saw what had occurred and went off in a spasm. How matters were patched up no one knows, but the woman who was treated so shamefully still lives with ber sister and brother- in-law. The man who played so base a part is very prosperous and a leader in society. Fortune lias smiled on him at every turn.--Atlanta Constitution. The Maelstrom. ' When I was a boy. twenty-"ve or thirty years ago, I used to read in my geogra hy, with a kind of shudder, of an awful whirlpool, called the Mael­ strom. off the coast of Norway, which sucked in vessels that came anywhere in its neighborhood, and out of who.-e mysterious center nothing could escape alive. What is the reality on which this story was founded? Dr. C. C. Tiffany takes pains to tell us in a re­ cent account of a trip to Tromso. This: "It is the one humbug of Nor- wap. It is simply a dangerous current at the south end o. the Lofi'oden Islands, between the islets of Moskenaes and Varoe. When the wind blows from certain quarters, 1 articularly from north we t, andmeits the returning tide iu the strait, the whole tea between Moskenae < and Vu rno is thrown into Buch agitation that no ship could live in it. In calm weather, however, it is crossed in safety three-quarte s of an hour before flood tide. What gives it the name and appearauce of a whirl­ pool is that the s< t of the 1 ide is chang d at its d fferent stages by th * narrow limits within which it acts. Its move­ ments is at first toward southeast; then, after flood-tide, it turns from south to­ ward the southwest, and finally toward the northwest; s^ that it takes twelve hours to complete the circle of its move­ ment. llatlier slow motion for such a fast character as a whirlpool."--Har­ per's Young People. The Bite of a Mad Dog. Mr. George H. McCaugliin, superin­ tendent of the city pound and shelter for dogs, said, in speaking of dogs that are supposed to be mad, that it is a very common mistake to believe a dog mad because he jumps about and foams at the mouth. "A mad dog's mouth is perfectly dry, with the tongue parched, and the under lips very often purple and swollen," said the superin­ tendent "He is practicdlly blind, and when he starts to run he keeps in as straight a line as it is possible for him to ran. He never departs from that line, except when he runs into something, and that something he al­ ways bites at. His brain is on fire; he Is really insane. He never turns aside because of yells and cries. I don't be lieve he hears them. His idea is prob­ ably to run from his own head, the pain of which makes him deaf as well S as blind. I "I never yet saw a mad dog on any | of our periodical raids, and I am made | personally acquainted with about 4,000 dogs in each year. I have seetr men bitten by dogs in fits, but I have never known them < to suffer therefrom further than one would from an or­ dinary dog-bite.
