MISSED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR I nils you, dear, In the springtime when the willows b!uMm whltely, . When die loe houghs bloom and bour geon, and (he blackbird build and sing. When over the sky of azure tlie white- mnxed clouds nuns lightly, When violets wuke In the woodland, 'nd the corn bludtw freshly spriug. But I miss you, too, in summer when the waves break on the shingle, When the Innicuid lilies' perfume la wafted upon t'he brei7,e, When creamy, and pink, nnd fragrant the rosea nod in the dingle, ! Wlien the kliixcu turn the meadows to glistening and golden seas. And I mlm you more In autumn when In rustling corntields yellow . Reapers sing their lays of gladness, when the plovers loud'ly call, When the woods are gold emblazoned, and the npple orchards mellow, : And the bramble red mid pun'le where the ripened berries faJI. But most of all I miss you when the mow nukes white are flying, When the days tiro dork and dreary, nnd the nights are long and drear; When through 1 en Ileus forest branches winds are sadly sobbing, sighing, Then it is I think I mint you, oh! the most of all, my deur. Chambers'' Journal. , ; THE the ear In my wrath, "Any I to be brought to sluune because of your neg ligence In obeying my commands? How am I to make the sentence light for you, should the sahib return and find tliut the house linn been left for thieves to break Into? Hasten before uio and light the lamp, so that ull may be ready on my urrlval," So, Huswita All,' the khunsuina, and 1 walked slowly, so that the chuwktdhnr might have time to do bis work fully before we came. Hut us we draw near to the gate, behold! he came running back to meet uh, and I saw that be trembled with four so tliut be could hardly stand. "Al! ill! I am undone!" be cried aloud. "Would Unit I hud died before this evil day bad dawned!" Thou an unknown fear mode my heart stand still. "Speuk, you son of u dog!" I cried, tlercely; "speak and lay bare all the wickedness that has grown out of your negligence!" Alas! what can I say?" lie cried; "for truly this Is the work of the evil one. How can I tell you how the sa bib's belongings have vanished when I know not myself, but I believe of a surety that this can't be the work of no mortal man." I know not how Hussion All, the khuusaina, and I reached the bouse after this, but when we got there we found that everything was as the SAHIB'S GOODS, I'y the sahib's furniture had gone, as If the evil spirits of the air bad come and blown lit into nothing Jiess with their breath. Truly the dog of a watchman bud spoken the truth when he said tluit this wu the work of no mortal band. "Gird up your loins," I said, turning to the cbowkidhar, "run with the speed of the wind to the houses that lie on the four sides of the compound and ask of the servants whether there are any who know how this evil thing has come about; perchance you will Olid some one who has stayed at home and not gone to the marriage." And when the cbowkidhar bad told all who dwelt round about bow the sahib's belongings hud vanished a great crowd came running, so tliut lu a minute the Iiouho wus full. But every man bad been to the- marriage feast and no one could tell how this thing hud happened. At this moment the kliansama seized me by the arm nnd pointed to the gate, and as he did so my heart rank within me, for It was the sahib who had re turned, and with him had come the magistrate sahib, and we had not pre' pared a tale. Truly never before had 1 been so unwilling to go forth and meet the muster. Then ran I and he!d on the step of tlie saihlb's carriage as he alighted. Oh, heaven born," I cried, prostrating myself humbly on the ground before hlin, "I am not fit to lick the dust of thy feet; I am like a worm In thy path." What Is the matter, Glrzl Khan?" the sail lb Interrupted. "Make short work of it and tell me why this crowd has collected In my house." "Great and wonderful things have hapiened in thine absence," I replied quickly, so that he might not be vexed with Impatience. "It was thus: I bod sat In the veranda all the evening, in accordance with thy command, oh, high lorn oue, when suddenly I was seized in a most uucontrulbible manner with a ruglitg thirst that forced me to go to my house In order to drink water. But, sahib, hardly had I reniiied mine own threshold when I heard a mighty rush lug sound behind me, and, looking round, I saw I lint thy house wus en volopcd lu a great cloud of dust. And Immediately my heart stood still with fear, so that 1 returned In all haute 1 and an the other servants also. And, snhlib, the house whs left ns thou seest It now, for the floor stands as bare ns the desert of the 1'iuijnnn, and the evil spirits of the nlr have left the heaven born neither a bed to rest his weary limbs upon nor a plate that the khan sama may set before him at meal times. I am the bearer. My master Is an English suhlb, and not country born, like many who live In the city, where' fore he trusts lu me, and I govern bis household. Further, lie Is not close fisted, but leaves his money lying alwut, so that It Is ready to my hand, Truly, he Is n master lu every way to be desilred, for does he not know good tobacco from bod, ami smoke those cigars that I myself most approve of? I speak openly, for this whereof I write will never meet the sahib's eyes. Who Is It that sews up the holes lu the sa bib's socks when they want mending but I? Who Is It that holds the sahib's head, flrst on one side and then on the other nldc, when through exceeding sloth fulness he lies lu bed And lets the barber shave him? All these thlngs- and more do I do! I am the salilb's right hand; without me can he do noth lng. Certainly It Is true that the sahib sometimes calls me evil names, but that is only when the money runs short by reason of the many heavy ex peases I have had to meet lu mine own household. But, Chough be Is a good master, there are some thlugs I cannot approve of In him, for what bearer can look with a favorable eye upon the young sii hi lis wlioui he honors with his frlunsdhlp? Are they not as roaring lions, and Is not their presence to be mistrusted lu any house? Truly, they nave been whelped lu wickedness, and have delighted in rascally conduct from their youth upward. Do I not remember the day when four of them entered during the sahib's absence, and; having thrust me aside, did they not do many strange things to the fur niture ami to the sahib's most private goods? Then, having wrltteu a letter and pasted It upon the door, they took their departure. And when the snhlb returned, which was before I could ar range the house as I approved of, he Was on the point of beating me for the confusion which prevailed on every bund, but before he could do so his eye fell upoti the letter the young sahibs luid left pasted on the door, and then lie laughed and said that this was inarching order! Such Is the way 1 am vexed by the sahib's friends. I say these few things that nil men may know how I stand, and Unit they may see how hardly I .have been treated. It was one evening, shortly after our return from the hills, anil Just before the approach of the whiter, that the rreseuce called to me, aud, having told me that be was going to eat din ner at the magistrate sahib's house and would uot be buck before midnight, hu bade me sit lu the veranda and await his return. Now, the kliiinsnnui (the butler) was tliut very evening enter taining many friends In the babbourchl khan a, which Is the cooking-bouse; so, Having retieetei that tno suhlb was thoughtless, and therefore could not tin derstnud Umt uu veranda was not a pleasant place to sit lu after the fall of the night, I dosed all the doors care fully, and, having exhorted tho chow kldliur to keep strict watch lest thieve should jmiss that way and steal what they llstid, I wended my wuy to the babbourchl khatia. Truly, wo were a merry company, and had many things to say to each other as we smoked our hookah nnd ate such sweets us tho bumula (the grocer) hud sent around as reward for our having been silent on the mutter of the short weight and tho Inferior quality of the articles wtitJi which he supplied the salilb. Then MiddoiUy lu the midst of the converse tli ere came to our ears from over the mud wall of tlie compound the sound of tamtams ami of much shouting and alnglng, and as we looked forth we saw that It was a marriage procession and that tlu're was a great crowd and tlie glare of many torches. Now, I recollected that this must be the marriage of one Khudah Bux, whose mother had scwu the wedding gar ments that my nude's wife's sister bad wom; therefore, baring looked to see tliat the eliowdlkhar wan diligent In Ms watch, I Invited the kluinsama and his friend, and togther we went to the bridegroom's house. Ah! It was open Iiouse, and such was the liberal Hy Unit prevailed that we stayed until about half an hour of the time of the nahib's expected return. But a we turned to leave I noticed a man biding away In a dark cortver, aa If be shunned our alglit, wherefore I haled him forth, aud, beJiold. it was the cbowkidhar, wb.l had left Ids post. "IUm up!" I cried, selling him by 'returned, and with him came two con stables, one of greater rank and one of lesser. Then did tlie oue of lesser rank marshal us Into line, while ho who was the supe -lor questioned us and wroto down our statements In a book that he had brought from the Thinm, which Is tlie police station. And when all was lln lulled. It wus found that the cvldeuco was different, and that no two men bud told the same talc; so the two constables withdrew a little distance from us, aud talked among themselves. "LUten to me, O ye rogues," cried tint principal oue, when tho consultation was finished; "pay attention while I speuk. This Is a grave cuse.- How can you expect any magistrate sahib to be merciful when no two men give the same evidence? and how are we to know tliut you yourselves may not huve taken the missing goods? Tlie case lies black against you; aud which of you does not know that tin) English law Is mighty, and can do us it llsteth with such miscreants as come within Its grasp? Who has not heard how during the mutiny the English blew nien from tlie cannon's mouth, and hung true be lievers In pigskins lu order tluit they might not Inherit paradise, Be wise, therefore, and pay heed to what I say; for there is but one way of escape, and through me alone may that way be learned. Bun now every man to Ills house, and bring me as much money as you can lay your two hands on; for I would have you know that I stand close to the magistrate sahib's ear, and therefore cun lighten the sentence for each and every one of you who will appease me with money offerings." Then did we run and bring money, each man according to his clrcum stances. And when the two constables had divided the spoil they departed, taking with them only the bhestl (the water-earrler) and the cbowkidhar, the former because be was poor and bad only been able to bring 8 annus, aud the latter because be had left the house unguarded, wherefore decency de manded that h'j shovlii bo offered up to the law. Ah! It was a merry time In the bazar then, for such a cose had not been known for many years, and wagors ran high as to what the sentence would be; so that we became the laughing stock and byword among the idlers who congregate round the well that lies In the center of the market place. Truly the bullfrog croaks loudly In the night season, but when the morning dawns the hawk cornea forth, and then the song of the bullfrog suddenly ceases; so It la with all loud-voiced ones! As for our muster, he lived with the magistrate salilb, and wore the niugls trate sahib's clothes, having none of his own. But the loss of bis goods did not weigh heavily on his soul, for wher ever there was feasting or merriment there was our snhlb to be seen. Such la the strangeness of the sahib log! Sometimes time travels slowly, and so it did In our case. It was the night before the day of trial, and we (that Is to say, the other servants and myself) were gathered round the grasscutterg' fire, wrapped In the mantle of our own black thoughts, when suddenly a man appeared in the circle of light, and sat down at my right hand, and I, looking on him, saw that it was Muunoo Loll, the mess khanaania, who was butler to the officers that are my sahib's friends. "Ram! Ram!" the man cried. And the other Hindoos who were present took up the salutation and an swered buck, "Slta Rom." Open your ears wide, oh, ye men," said Munaioo Lull; "for I have come all tlie way from tlie messhouse In order to all fnat again. But the magistrate sahib looked on only and took no active part, for It was fitting that he should keep hi bunds clean, being a ruler, Then when the tale was finished there was much laughter at tlie uiesshouso and under cover of It I slipped away to tell you how all thlugs had happened Bun quickly, now, O ye men, and sue If ull is ns I say." So we ran, und I, having leaped upon JIuxMiiln All, tho khunsama's shoulder. looked through tlw window nnd there saw In the dusk many sluidows within the godown that might iMrhup beec ognlzed ns the sahib's goods; according ly the sweeper went with tlie apeed of the wind to the bazar, and, having bor- rowed many keys of the locksmith lu order that we might undo the lock, we opened tlie door. And there truly every. thing wus us the mess kbunsuma'hud said nothing gone and uothlng broken. "Do now us I say," Muiuioo Lall cried. "Tako your sahib's belongings upon your shoulders and carry them with ull speed to the house; and you, Glrzl kliun, see that they are arranged as me sauiu was accustomed to see them. Then, when all Is ready, go and tell your master that his furniture has returned; uny further explanation that you desire to give you must arrange among yourselves." So saying be de parted. Ali! bow we worked that night no in nn can tell, but at lot. when tlie sahib's clock pointed to the half hour after 3, we looked round, and, behold, all things were lu their accustomed places. So, ns It was too early yet for our sahib to have risen, we repaired to the magistrate sahib's compound, and there sat round the fire that tlie grass cutters hud lighted lu front of the sta bles until such time as our muster should awake. However, all thlugs come to an end, and so at last word was brought tluit I might go Into the presence of the heaven born. "What is the matter, Glrzl Khan?" the salilb asked, as he lay on his bed. "Oil, high-born one!" I cried pros trating myself on the ground before him. "I have sought au audience In order that I might lay before thee the mighty workings of providence. Be hold, oh, sahib, as we lay on our beds last night, our hearts being heavy with despondency, there came a mighty wind from heaven that wrapped thine house lu Its folds, and when tlie wind had passed a way we went to look, and, lo! all the sahib's furniture had return ed. Let me beg of the heaven born therefore, to return and take up his abode once more In Ms own house; and I pray that the sahib will uot forget his unworthy servant, Glrzl Kbau, in that day." Then did the master Iengb and call out to the magistrate sahib by name, and I was forced to repeat the story once more. Ho! ho! there was much laughter among tlie sahibs that day. and they called us lying devU and other evil names such la the character of the sahib dog. WOMEN SELDOM STEAL. M "V N 1 I It Oddities of English Village. Undoubtedly the most extraordinary township in England is that of Skid daw. In Cumberland. It contains but oue house, the occupier of which Is un able to exercise the Briton's privilege of voting because there- Is no overseer to prepare a voters' list and no church or other place of worship or assembly on which to publish oue, The most remote village In England Is that of Farley-euni-Pltton. This tru- ly rural spot Is thirty and a half miles from the nearest railway station. As a contrast to this may be mentioned tell you a tale, and to ask you the mean-! the hamlet of Yatrad, about ten miles ,0 all these men who live in the com pound about thine own have seen these things and can bear testimony." And the crowd shouted: "It Is all as the bearer has said." Them did the magistrate sahib look sternly at me, as If he would look down Into my lying soul. "Is this tale true?" he asked. Now my heart wink at his sternnes. "It Is true," I answered, bending down before him in order to hide my confusion. But my sahib only walked up and down tlie veranda, and said, "Damn! damn!" as all English sahibs do when they are angry. "Send for ,the other sorvawits," the magistrate snhlb said. So tlie cbowkidhar ran nnd fetched them from their houses, where they were hi hiding, for they bad all re turned to tlw compound by this time. "Drive quickly to the Thana," the magistrate sahib continued, addressing the syce (the groom) "and bring bock with you two constables, who will take down the depositions of these rogues." Then did the magistrate salilb offer to take our mawter back to Ills house, for our snhib bad neither a chair to sit upon nor a knife with which to cut hi meat. So they departed. Now tlie Englltih law la a strange thing; sometimes the Government will act with tlie foolishness of a little child, and at other times It will rend the evil doer limb from limb. Therefore, as none of us knew Its power, and as there was great diversity of opinion as to whether the magistrate sahib would cause us to be beaten with cords until we were near to death or whether we would be thrown Into prison for the reM of our Uvea, we all agreed to tell different tales to the police when they arrived, so that no man might know which was the truth, and thus the ends of Justice might be frustrated. And after a long time had passed and oar evidence wu quite prepared, the tyce lug thereof. Behold, there once lived a king In a great land. A humane ruler was he, and also a man of great under standing; yea, the ants In their houses gathered not more wisdom than he. But one day tills king departed for a short season, leaving Instructions with his vlz-ler aud other officers to guard all thlugs In bis absence. Now, when the master was away, each man repaired to his own house, and did tliere what he pleased. One betook himself to the bazar to buy a new coat; a second en tertained a large party of friends, and so on each man according to bis own inclination. Then the king returned and It was found that while those un worthy servants hod feasted and made merry the treasure had been left un guarded and It had vanished, no man knew where. But tlie king only laugh ed and dismissed those unworthy ser vants, and, strange to -tell, the king laughs still. Tell me, 0 Glrzl Khan, what U the meaning of this tale?" Then my heart grew uneasy within me, for this story was like In many respects to our own. "I know not," I answered. "The answer to this ridlle is not far to seek," Munnoo Lall called, rising and gathering up his robe as If he would leave us, "for It lies In mine baud. But knowledge la a pearl of great price, and Is only to be bought with money!" Then dWl we consult among our selves, so tluit at last we went and fetched that which the man required. 'The explanation U so simple," Mun noo Lall continued, "that ye have walk ed past and left It! This is how tlie knowledge has come to my hand. You must know that tliere was a great din ner at the messhotue to-night, and the magistrate sahib and your master were both Invited. Now, when the wine passed round, the tongues of all who were present got loosed, and they knew not that I could understand their lan guage. And at last tlie lieutenant sahib told a tale which was to this effect. On that evil night when your sahib's things vanished, you must know that your master returned earlier than he had Intended, and with bun came the lieutenant and the magistrate sahibs. And when they saw that none had been left behind to watch they laughed, and your master baring opened a godown, of which he alone keeps the key, they placed the furnXart within and made from Cardiff. This tiny settlement pos' sesses two important main ronds, two railways and two large rivers. A very unique feature is exclusively claimed by Trimley, a small village In Suffolk.

Youkers Statesman, HE San Francisco Argonaut is puz zled to understand a fact that surely exists, though for no apparent force ful reason. Wom an la more honest than man. With out seeking to de- ' ffv Mia ulntoinent i ' the Arirouaut says Whether from lack of opportu nity to realize the power of money a feminine fear of risk, or a higher sense of honor, women are more trustworthy than men In the handling of money. This Is a recog nlzed fact In Europe, where In ninny businesses the woman holds the purse trlngs. The position of cashier is one of those most constantly intrusted to female clerks. The situation, however, In which their lack of thieving propen- cities Is most clearly shown Is as do mestics. The temptations offered them to steal money. Jewels, lace, and other articles of stable value are contlnuel and enticing, as few housewives take any precaution against dishonest ser vants. The ornaments and valuables most tempting to women not to men tion money, are left about with a enre- Iessness tluit Is a convincing commen tary on the trustworthiness of the ser. vant. Indeed, detectives say that when a servant girl steals from her employ. era, It is almost always at the Instiga tion of some man on the outside. Why women should enjoy this lmper- rlousnes8 to a temptation before which to many men fall. Is a question to which there are several answers. Mon- ?y, for Itself,' Is not so highly valued by women ns by men. When they do steal, It Is to gain possession of sonio Mveted article, while, with the other lex, It Is the money, or the pleasure to be directly gained from It, which prompts the theft. Women, moreover, bave few temptations to pastimes which call for money. Outside their love of personal adornment, they are leldom swayed by desires and ambl ioau the gratification of which requires wealth. The great world 'of outside pleasure which Invites a man does not exist for them, and that absorbing love at dress aud Jewelry which Is supposed bo lead so many weak spirits to frivol ity and sin Is much less strong than Is generally believed The temptation of business ventures, tf daring speculations and hazardous chances, is one to which women are Angularly Indifferent. Their ambitions ire small. When they can gain a living salary, their dreams are generally real teed. The hopes of wealth and luxury which haunt the imaginings of an ordi narily ambitions man are far beyond the modest desire for affluence of the most "energetic and enterprising wom an. If a woman Is not rich by In heritance or marriage, she sets aside the dream of riches as one never to be accomplished. To achieve wealth by her own endeavors, honorable or other wise, Is so perilous and formidable nn undertaking that she no more contem- nlates It than she would seek to train trior slblo to raise to her standard.

There were full bloomers laid In knife plaits, and gathered with elas tic at the knee. As It was a bright, snnny afternoon the lady wore a heavy white pique waist with a high turn over collar and a neat black cravat. There was a Jnnnty Jacket of the same material as the bloomers cut after the Eton pattern, short and square corner ed at the waist. The Jacket had a flat collar and wide reverg edged with black braid. There were tight sleeves slight ly puffed at the shoulder and trimmed with braid. The hose were long and black, and she wore low-cut cycling shoes. eguu. Hints of the change huve oeen current In Ioudon boudoirs for weeks, and already a few women, greatly daring, have displayed the new style in public. The innovation, as usual, is a revival and dates back not to 1830, that epoch year of fashion, but to the years Immediately preceding Queen Victoria's accession. Its salient fea tures are a boldly upstanding loop or two of the hair brought decidedly for ward, on the top of the head, while the arrangement behind tapers to a point an inch or so from the base of the skull The novelty which renders it noticea ble is the Introduction of a scarf of soft silk gauze, or lace, twisted in and out of the coils of hair, which are usually gathered slightly more to one side of the bead than the other, the balance be ing created with a puff or bow of the material.
