While It ever binds u nearer To our Ion d one la the klc; For tls like the myrtle caMe, slumbering nealb the oeeaw s roar. Hid from sight, ret ever Joining Closely, strangely, shore to there. Only shllllngvnever itroVn, 16 the" chain forever bright; Links, though darkened to our vistas, Gleam with a celetial light; While from earth we glance along It, Ruptured seems the golden line; Looking from the gates eternal. Link untcvercd softly shine. Yes, we count them sadly over. One by one, the links, we say, How they're breaking ever from us. How they're passing all away; Only changing are our loved ones. Only pone from earth away; Dwell they not, more dear than ever. In onr hearts from day to day? Kindred tic, with Hnks eternal. Wrought and woTen at oar birth. Were they only made to bind us While we linger here on earta? Tel! me cot the chain Is broken. Tor I only look the more, As my loved ones gather on It, To the everlasting shore. Tell me not the chain is broken. Guided by angelic hand. For it draws me ever nearer To the bright, the spirit land. And I turn from life and sorrow. To my loved ones In the skies. Looking from up earth to heaven, Ever up, with longing eye. Mrs. Euzireth O. Dxxszvlt. Down in a Coal Mine. Go down as fast as thatf the super intendent continued : "Oh, yes; there no danger. The shaft is nine" hundred feet deep, and we go down sometimes in fif teen seconds; sometimes, when we're in no hurry, we take thirty seconds, ome times twenty. The engineer always knows when to stop it, arfd the only dan cer is at the top and bottom.1 The cage stopped at our level with a jerk, and we stepped out oa a little platform, about six feet one way by four the other, with a roof, and fitted into the shaft so nicely that a marble could hardly roll throngh. The superintendent eeized a little iron ring and pulled it twice (mine language for "lower); bis hand hardly left the ring before a terrific rumbling began (the cages make a deafening noise), and the floor began to sink from under u like a flash of lightninc The liottom was dropping out of everything. Thej wheels rolling against the sides would i have shnmed a northeaster on the coast, j This sinking lasted four or five seconds; then we seemed to stand still. Things hadchingcd. We were not moving, but tbe sides of the shaft were going op, up, as if they bad been shot up out of a vol cano. I wondered for a second or two how long it would take at this rate for the'shaft to tear itself out of the mine en tirely. It began to go faster than ever. There must have been about 840 miles of that shaft fired oat already and still it kept coming. It went up so fast, the shaft, that it began to perspire, and the spray flew over us. At this point we had according to my calculation gone doxn about two thousand miles) I began to lose all interest in chafes and mioes. "We hadn't been moving for some time, but the sides of the shaft stopped all of a sudden. I suppose it had all gone oat. There were dim, smoky lights moving about. There wai a mule moving (happy reminder of the world above), compla cently wagging his taiL We were in tbe mine. Time of leaving daylight, 10.40.15; umeoi arriving in gassy darkness, 10.40. 33; time of trip, eighteen seconds; tnronga express; no stops. The main tunnel runs through tbe mine from end to end. From this smaller tunnels branch ofland from these smaller tunnels the workings are struck. A working is a little black cave dug into tbe black rockand in it the miner spends his weary days. It begins with a single arming into me rocK, and keeps increas ing every day and every hour until it is big enough for a man to stand in. Still it grows, till it is a biir, dark cave, and at last, after months, or it maybe years of silent labor, it turns into another tunnel. and other workings,in turn,branch out of ji .nii i uuk uuioi in is lunnei in mak ing it is coil. From one to five men work in each of these holes, one miner digging out the black wealth, the other laborers shoveling it away. There were workinr .k.-co ol . - " ju uiks cjii-uiu wct, ja nixie groups, four hundred men, digging, and delvinr. braving gas and falling rocks and kick ing tautes. unevt the miners, handing me his pick, asked me whether I didn't want to save a piece that I'd mined out myself. The first stroke was a failure; the second brought out ball a ton or so, all in one lump, but the third produced a shining little black diamond sparkling UKC a aiamoaa 01 anoiner sort, which 1 am saving till there's a rise. - There comes while we stand a terrific shock. The bed of rock under our feet trembles; the wall of coal rising up by our side, so cold and black, seems to totter, a current of air flies through the tunnels and drifts -so unexpected, so vio lent, so indescribably swift, that it feels as if it was pebbles and stones and rock? instead 01 air, and witn tins notion we put our arras up to shield our faces. I noticed that even the miners did this. It was so quick that even long custom could not override instinct Then, in second or two, comes a tremendous crash that is the noisy part, the shaking came before. Now comes tho noise, and a deafening noise it is. The roof mutt inevitably fall in with such a shock, we think. But it doesn't; it is only a blast, such as there arc hundreds of every day, and the next moment all is quiet at the grave again. Going through the dark tunnel four or five hundred yards, we came to a little underground depot, guarded by a man trltb a black face and t. lamp in his hat. This man was the telegraph operator. The Audcnried mine has all the appli ances of modern civilization except a ray of sunshine, now and then so, of couic, it ha its telegraphl'mos. A wire. mu:ng ai wis p.jini in me mine, runs into the office, on the surface, and the miner in the depths can talk with the los alnive almost a frequently ax if they were together. By the side of the instru ment, locked In a walnut case, was sg nil card, with the explanations. A single tap, for example, meant "Stop the en tities two taps, "Hoist d n'le quick. Three taps, ."Explosion.' The replies w ere some of them uncomfortably sug gestive. Thirteen, "How long can vou stand itP Sixteen, "Where is the firel" And the anwers to these again : "We can s-tand it for fire minutes:'" "ten minute; "an hour." all indicated by different num bers. With this wire, if a'firc breaks oat. notice is at once given above. If there is an explosion of the warning is sent It is a great protection to the ataers,aad it would be a great comfort to them, if they should le Mifrciting leIow, to get the signal from above; "Stick It out. bays; there p'entv of air up here! "ThH mine," said he, has a great dal of gas more, perhaps, than any other mine In tbe coua'rv. e have a gas in spec tor who goes alt through the work ings every re jrning In-fore the miser go to work. Each working i numbered. He goes into working No. 15, for in stance, and finds gas. He makes a mrmo randam and ps on. In No. 1C, per haps there is no gas; in No. 17 there is a great deal. i ite goes through them all, carrying a safety or Humphrey-Davy lamp, which guards him agaiatt an ex plosion. Then become to this place and marks tbe black-board. If a working has only a little gas in it, be puis oaie cross opp.ite it number; if it brut a good deal he puts two crosses, and when a working is marked with three cross tbe miner must oa no accoast go into it with his light. He can go into it at his own risk when be has two crosses, or can keep his eyes open w hen be has one cross ; but it is safer for him te keep out if be has any cros at all. At leat half the workings of the mine were marked with two and three crosses, and I began to make mental calculations of the prob able effect of being blown up. We went through mere dark taaaels. Bpmorehill,throbmoredoors,in search of the gas inspector. After a w hile "HalU-a, shouted tbe faro a in. "Ualloa-oa, answered a voice, that might have been a mile or two away, but it wasn't. "Here be is, said the foreman, and he beld his lamp down near tbe ground, bringing to light a bole in the wait three feet or thcreaboats wide, and ab-Mit four feet high. "He's up here, and I guess there's gas. Tbe superintendent pot his face doa to the hole and shouted: "Is there any gas in thereP "Yes,' answered the voice. "Dn't bring a light in. . "You wait here," said the superintend ent, "and I II find out whether it s safe to go in." So he stood his lamp on the ground, got down on his hands and knees and crawled in. PiesentJy the foreman tok a notion to go in too; o he set down his lamp and he craw led in. This left me alone in the tunnel, wliich wnt pleas ant. Tber both stayed a lonz time so long that I began to think they bad slipped out of the mine by the backdoor. After a while I gave up all hope of see ing them again, and woadwed bow long I could live oa the oil in the lamps. While I was wondering arokecame TCry near my ear saying: "You can come up, but leave light behind." I stood my lamp by the others, got down on all fours, and crawled up. The coal that had been mined out Uv loose upon the floorund rolled under my knees. The openiDg inclined upward to an angle not less than forty-tire degrees; and, as the ceiling nowhere was more than four feet high, locomotion was a1mot as slow as in an Arch street car. After a while I heard their voices. Someboly said: "Here we are; don't come too far in; it pretty gassy." The gas inspector sat oa tbe coal with a little numpurcy-Davy safety lamp in his hand. "Show him Iwsr to detect gas, said the superintendent. The inspector held the lamp back In a dark corner, and in an instaat tbe flame swelled up, filling all the space inside ths fine wire netting that surrounded the wick. "When the flame swells up like that," said the in -pec tor, "there's gas. If a man should come in here with an 0en lamp, it would explode. Or if I should hold my safety lamp in it for a minute or two the netting would Lcrn away, and there would be au explosion." "What would be the result," I asked him, if the flsmc should reach the gaaP "Then "we'd all be sieged," he replied. Afterward, on the. way out, I atked one of the miners what the inspector meant by saying, "We'd all be singed," if the flame should get into the gas. Blow'd to tbe deril," he replied. rhiladdprua Timet. "Too Mctoeb Sue." Ooc day last week one of the Asylum avenue cars was making its slow war outward, well filled ith gentlemen and Indict. Tbe scats Iteing an occupied, a4 la ly after lady entered they were invited to sit by gentlemen, who in succession arose and politely irate their teats to the ladies, until, finally, the only rcpreentativcorthc sterner sex who retaiocU a scat was a portly Chincu com missioDcr. Soon the car stopped again, and uie uneni.il, who had all along been expressing by hi looks a profound con tempt for thin silly chivalry of the Amer icans, felt the pressure of public opinion too strong to resist longer, and, rising, yielded bis seat to a simpering school girl, who took it as if it belonged of riirht to ber ladyship. Tncctlotlarcoun tenmee grew darker, and its owner clung to tbe strap with a tightened grip until he reached bis destination, the corner of Sumner street, when, reaching the side walk and meeting an acquaintance, he exclaimed "Too muchee she!"

Up to that time the little they bad was im'torted from Flanders and Holland.

The veil and tho mantle have no pretense to ele gance or beauty, they are merely means of concealing figure and face. As the tramp of horses draws near, the women fly furtively across the road to their re spective houses or hu's. It reminded me forcibly of rabbits on a country road scurrying hastily to their burrows on the approach of a wayfarer. The seclu sion of Armenian women, even of the humblest clas, is much more severe than among the Turks. I suppose a sad ex perience has taught them caution. Uobert Dale Owen's Marriage.

They have oaly little three-legsed stools tied to themselves (o that when they waat to sit dowo they are all ready), and they drive their cows and goats before them to the different houses, and milk them at the door in a bowl provided by each customer. No chance of watered milk there, you see That is not the queerest part of it, though. As IvhtTe said, Italian houses are very high five, six, and seven stories often, with a ditTcrrnt family living oa each floor. Even the poxt3t (palaces) of the rich are divided ia this way. To the first tl.xir (not the ground floor) there are sometimes from eighty to oae hun dred marble steps leading up. On thb floor perhaps a duke may live; oa the next above, some one lower in rank, till it would not be impossible that the noble duke's laundress might live in the seventh story of his palaxzo. These uppermost families usually take goat's milk, be cause the goats can go upstairs, even to the very top floor, and be milked ia full view of the custnmerl Part of little Paolo's pleasure was iu patting the goat that came up to his grandmother's door, rubbing iu little nose, and giving it routed chestnuts to eat.
