GOLDEN, OR DARK, OR BROWN t
" Golden, or dark, or brown
Which do you love the best ? "
She asks, with a puzzling pleasure,
The answer already guessed ;
But, hearing the question, a moment
I pause, and am quite perplexed.
For as long as the stars are shining,
Oh, how shall I e'er forget,
The hair of a vainly loved one
The tresses so dark of Lisette
Rivaling in lustre ever.,
The raven's plumage of jet.
But some one, in early childhood,
Laughingly, foolishly bold,
Lives still in my beautiful dreamland,
Whoso glories are ever untold,
And long shall I ever remember
Her ringlets of sunny gold.
But here in the misty twilight
The hour of hours blest
My darling is gazing upon me ;
And forgetting forever the rest,
I swear, with a lasting fervor,
That I love the brown the best!
How To Propose.
wearily
Hyde
Dr. Gersham threw himself
into the great arm-chair in Mrs
cozy sitting room. He had just returned
from a professional visit, and a long ride
in the cold and wind had given him a
severe headache. The doctor was Mrs
Hyde's boarder, but he had been so long
in the family that he seemed like one of
them.
Queenie Brian, Mrs. Hyde's niece, sat
by the window, busy with some needle
work.
Queenie was a brilliant little thing of
seventeen, with short boyish curls
bit?, rosruish brown eyes.
On the death of her parent years be
fore, she had been adopted by her aunt
Queenie was wayward, willful and be
witching, and ruled right royally in the
little village of VVaylanrt. Her cousins
Tom and Johnny Hyde, were her de
roted slaves, and she alternately petted
and teased them. Only of Dr. Gersham
was she shy; and sometimes he even, was
not quite safe from her wild pranks. But
afterward, he would invariably find a
peace-offering in the shape of some fa
Torite delicacy on the tea-table, or per
haps, his dressing-gown and slippers
comfortably warmed and ready for him
on his return from a long, tideous ride
It is not to be supposed, however, that
she confessed to any of these weaknesses
l am afraid, on the contrary, that my
small heroine manufactured innumera
ble fibs when questioned closely
Dr. Gorsham had grown wise through
experience, and generally accepted these
little favors with a smile and but few
words.
On the afternoon of the opening of my
story, as the stalwart fagure m the arm
chair gave a long sigh of weariness and
pain, Queenie threw her work aside and
ran from the room. She returned pres
ently with an armful of cushions, which
she arranged invitingly on the lounge
and wheeling it closer to him, motioned
the doctor to the impromptu couch
He smiled and obeyed her gesture
catching her hands as he sank back on
the pillows.
" Whv did you do this, Queenie ? "
She laughed archly, trying to release
herself.
" I don't know I guess because I love
you.
" Do you do you ? " he asked, hii
face flushing eagerly.
" I don't know. Do you love me?"
"Ah! have you need to ask me that
girlie? Kiss me."
He endeavored to draw her face down
to his, but-she slipped from his grasp
" I shall not kiss you, because the man
whom I kiss of my own free will will be
my future husband!" and away she
danced, saluting Tom in the hall with a
merry jest.
Dr. Gersham sighed.
"She is only a child," he said;
bright, beautiful, happy child. I will
be thirty -two years old to-morrow too
old and steady for a little humming-bird
like Oueenie.
Several evenings later, Queene entered
the library where the doctor sat reading
his journal.
" Doctor, see if I don't look nice."
" Oh, don't bother me! " he answered.
shortly, burying himself still deeper in
his journal.
"Humph! uross thing! 1 am going
with Charlie Vill skating on the creek
There is sure to lie a crowd, and I want
o know if 1 look nice.
He put his paper aside and looked at
her. It was impossible to help admir
ing Queenie at any time, and in her
jaunty skating costume, she was more
bewitehinR than ever. But the doctor
only said, as he struggled with the pas
sionate love in his heart, "You are a
vain little thing yon look well enough.'
Queenie shook her skates together
with a musical clash, tried to frown on
him, and laughed instead, then asked
with mock gravity:
"Do you love me as well as you did
last Tuesday ? "
"Yes."
Queenie hesitated a moment, swayed
toward him, a roguish dimple coming at
one corner of her mouth; then her warm
breath swept his face, as with a sudden
movement she turned and left the prints
of her wicked white teeth on his cheek !
The next instant she had flown, while
her tantalizing laugh floated back to the
solitary man in the library. Dr. Ger
sham was a great lover of music ; and a
handsome organ, his property, occupied
one corner of the parlor.
One afternoon , in the early spring, the
doctor was singing, and accompany him
self on the organ. He had thought him
self the sole occupant of the room, and
drifted, presently, into'grand old hymns,
solemn chants and weird dirges. The
deep voiee rose magnificently. Surely
Dr. Gersham might well be proud of bis
voice. He paused to look at some music
in the rack, and there was a moment's
silence, broken suddenly by a low sob.
The doctor turned and saw Queenie
curled up in the recess of a window.
Never before, during all his acquaint
ance with her, had he seen the child in
tears. He crossed the room and took
her in his arms.
"Why, little Queenie! What is it
dear?"
Ah, naughty Queenie! Why did yon
not tell him how his music had stirred
your willful heart ? But no; she gasped
and buried her face in her white apron
as she answered:
"Whv. yon see, Tom has gone off
eeling, and wouldn't let me go, though
I wanted to so much."
The doctor laughed.
" Queenie, you are an incorrigible sin
ner! Who will be responsible for all of
your airy fibs?"
" You will won't you doctor ? " turn
ing her soft cheek to his.
For a moment he strained her close in
his arms; and then putting her away
from him, he went straight to his room.
Thus the days went on. Sometimes
Dr. Gersham half hoped that Queenie
was learning to love him. cut no
sooner did he endeavor to win one
serious word from her than she was off,
with her head full of some new mischief.
Mrs. Hyde looked on, not daring to
interfere, for she sympathized with the
doctor, and knew, in the depths of her
womanly heart, that she was just the one
o guide and protect her wild little niece.
But she was also aware that if Queenie
yielded herself to him, it would not be
through the dictation of a third person.
One morning in the early part of June,
while Queenie was dusting and arranging
the parlor, Mrs. Hyde looked in at the
door and said, regretfully:
,, Queenie, dear, Dr. Gresham is going
to leave us next week. He will return
to his former home in Virginia. I do not
suppose we shall ever see him again."
She ceased abruptly, for Queenie,
dropping her duster, had. vanished , with
flushed face and quivewng mouth ; and
moment after Mrs. Hyde heard the
sound of the girl's chamber door as it
closed behind her.
The lady raised the duster and went on
with the work, while a significant smile
hovered about her lips.
" Strange child ! She loves him. and
will not confess it, though there is not a
shadow of reason why she should not
That afternoon, Queenie "wandering
along the piazza, came upon Dr.Gershani
stretched full length on a settee. He
appeared to be sleeping, and she paused
to look at him. showinft. for once, all her
earnest little soul in the expression of
her eloquent eyes.
She bent over him, her cheek flushing,
and her breath coming quickly, and-
Dr. Gersham, lying in a half dream,
felt the pressure of a warm, tender mouth
full on his.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw
Queenie's white dress just fluttering
around the corner of the house. Dr.
Gersham knew better than to follow her
He went up to his room quite happy.
" She loves me," he said with a quiet
smile. And he remembered her words
of a few months before.
" The man whom I kiss of my own free
will, will be my husband :
Dr. Gersham laughed softly to him
self.
" Ah, my little lady ! You and I will
have a reckoning this evening !"
But he was mistaken; for Queenie was
missing at tea time. Mrs. Hyde in
formed him that she had gone to visit a
friend in the village and would not re
turn for several days.
Not until the evening before the doc
tor's departure for the South did she
make her appearance, and it was a very
solemn little face that he saw when he
confronted her in the June twilight, and
led her into the garden, where the old
apple tree was dropping its tinted bios
soms.
Little Queenie seemed suddenly to have
lost roguishness and self-possession, and
looked the very picture of shame and
discomfiture, with her crimson face and
heavy-lidded eyes.
The doctor evidently had no idea of
letting her escape him.
" Queenie, lam going to tell you about
a strange dream I had the other day.
" I guess I think that is, Auntie
will want me now," she stammered,
looking wishfully at the house.
" Auntie cannot have you now, be
cause I propose to keep you myself, at
least till I relate my dream and get your
opinion of it. You must know that I was
asleep on the piazza, and it seemed as
though somebody kissed me with two
very sweet lips; and, furthermore, I
dreamed that it was the same little girl
who made the remark, some time ago,
that the man thus favored would be her
future husband."
He paused, holding both her hands in
his, and looking at her drooping, crim
son face.
Oh, Queenie, Queenie! how your face
did burn ! And how the old apple tree
twirled about! And how your heart did
pound and pound in its prison, trying
the best it knew how to make its voice
heard in that dreadful silence!
" Queenie," the doctor's laughing
voice was softened and tender as he drew
her to his arms, where she was glad to
hide her hot face on his broad shoulder;
"little Queenie, don't be ashamed of
loving. It is God's sweetest gift to his
children the capacity of affection.
Think how long you have played at cross
purposes with me, darling. I might
have gone away to the South without
this satisfaction, if it had not been for
that lucky kiss. Ah, that reminds me I
will take another, if you please.
He was laughing again now, and
Queenie clung a little closer to him with
a quick gesture.
"Oh, no, no! I cannot. I never can
again!
You must get used to it, lady bird.
and you may as well make up your mind
to begin to practice now.
He slipped a ring from his watch-
chain a diamond, with a quaint gold
setting and put it on her slender forefinger.
" This was my mother s ring, Queenie,
he said reverently; " she died long years
ago. 1 will give it to you as a token of
my undying love.
She turned her cheek to his with a
movement that was scarcely a caress, it
was so swift and timid, but she did not
attempt to speak.
.Now, dear, 1 will take that kiss, and
then I will go. for I have an engagement
at the village. Next fall I shall return
from Virginia to claim my little wife.
Come, I will give you just two minutes
m which to kiss me ot your own iree
will," just as you did on the piazza."
He took out his watch and waited.
Queenie standing directly before him,
laughed nervously, and flushed and
trembled, still hesitating. Never was
there a more timid, bashful creature,
now that she was fairly conquered. She
dared not even to lift her eyes to his face.
One minute more, said the doctor.
standing, watch in hand, like grim Fate.
Oh, dear, Queenie gasped, and
looking about her fearfully, as though
she were about to do something dreadful;
and then suddenly lifted two very meek
lips.
1 will now. she said. And once
again Dr. Gersham felt the shy pressure
of the fragrant mouth on his, only this
time he responded with interest; and
then Queenie broke away from him and
ran into the house.
The next morning, just before his de
parture, the doctor had a conversation in
the library with Mr. Hyde, and as he re
entered the sitt ng-room he overheard
Johnnie's exclamiation to Tom :
"Thomas J. Hyde! Queenie has the
doctor's ring on her finger. What daes it
mean ! "
" It means," said Dr. Gersham, " that
I want you to take good care of Queenie
until next September, and then there
will be a wedding right here."
And there was.
Unbolted Wheat-Meal Bread.
During the administration of William
Pitt in England, there was a great scarcity
of wheat, and in order to make it go as far
as possible, Parliament passed a law that
all the bread for the army should be made
out of unbolted wheat-meal. History
states that the result was such an im
proved condition among the soldiers as
surprised them, as also their officers and
surgeons. The latter declared that never
before were the soldiers so healthy and
robust, and that disease had nearly dis
appeared from the army. For a longtime
this kind of bread was used almost ex
clusively, but when wheat became abun
dant, its use was discontinued.
The use of unbolted wheat-meal bread
has become greatly extended throughout
the civilized world within the past gene
ration, and every housewife should know
how to make the very best article and
have it constantly on the table. Children
do much better on it than upon bread
made from fine flour.
In the State of Massachusetts they have
normal schools where young men and
women are taught and educated for teach
ers at the public expense. In one of
these schools, it is stated to us on good
authority, that the young ladies who
come there to be educated are mostly
from the rural districts, and that they are
not all well developed physically. They
are all brought up on hot biscuit and tea,
and this does not supply sumcient nour
ishment to develop healthy bodies. The
substitution of wheat-meal bread in all
these cases would make a great difference
in the physical development, health,
longevity and usefulness of these per-
Inherited Memory. Are there not
scientific men (and is not Dr. Carpenter
one of them V) who consider that when
we say an event has made "such an im
pression on us that we shall never forget
it, we are not merely using a metaphor,
but stating a fact ? Now, if something
analagous to "making an impression on
the brain really takes place whenever we
commit any thing to memory, is it not
possible that if the impression be deeply
hxed, the impressed brain may be trans
mitted by the parent to the offspring,
who thus " inherits " its ancestor's mem
ory? When we remember that birds
take the same journey year after year,
generation after generation, century after
century, nay, even for ages after ages,
mm it we snail reel tnat tnere are more
marvelous things in nature than what
I am asking you to consider, namely,
the possibility that the young bird
at least inherits a knowledge of
the way, and is capable of performing
the journey alone. If "inherited memo
ry" be accepted as a fact, what a flood of
light is thrown on many puzzles which
have hitherto been classed as "instincts,
such as the building of birds' nests, the
pointing of pointer puppies, the knowl
edge possessed by young animals of
right and wrong food, and of friends and
enemies; I am not sure that it will not
even throw light on some of the myste
nes oi human nature. When 1 was a
child I had a dread of wolves (a very
common thing with children) , and I find
the dread produced in one of my own
children. Yet wolves have been so long
extinct in England that we should proba
bly have to go back many generations
before we met with nurses who quieted
crying children by threatening to give
them to the wolves. Mav not this be a
case of "inherited memory." Nature.
Wonders of the American Continent.
The greatest cataract in the world is the
Falls of Niagara, where the water from
the great upper lakes forms a river three-
fourths of a mile in width, and then being
suddenly contracted, plunges over the
rocks in two volumes to the depth of 175
feet. The greatest cave in the world is
the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, where
any one can take a voyage on a subter
ranean river and catch fish without eyes.
The greatest river in the world is the
Mississippi, 4000 miles long. The largest
valley ot the world is the valley of the
Mississippi. It contains 5,000,000 square
miles, and is one of the most fertile
regions of the globe. The greatest city

The Secret. "Hard times ! "we hear
it on all sides, and at all times, until we
are sick and tired of the "old, old song."
But what is the cause of "hard times."
This question is easily answered. We
want industrious and enenretic men
men who work at anything that is hon
orable, in which there is money to be
made. True, we have some men in our
midst who are industrious and energetic,
but unfortunately not enough of them to
make this highly favored country "blos
som as the rose," as it surely would do
with tne ngnt sort of energy, go-a-head-
ativeness and elbow greese. The trouble
with this and all other countries is. that
we have too many of that class that are
content to eke out a miserable existence
"hand-to-mouth" drones on societv to
make the country prosperous and self-
sustaining. Steady employment is just as
certain to bring prosperity as the sun
rises in the east. Most of our bad luck,
as it is called, can be traced to our own
doors. Through our idleness we have
brought poverty, not only to ourselves
but to our families. We should work
more and idle less, remembrinar that in
the coarse of an ordinary lifetime, thou
sands of dollars are lost on account of loss
of time. If a man succeeds in this life he
must put in full time.

Archery.
Hundreds and thousands of young
ladies in Detroit have set up a target and
drawn the bow-, and dozens and scores of
doctors have pulled down their signs and
moved to Toledo since this healthy out
door amusement was inaugurated. Bre
and there an archer or an archeress
obtains printed rules and instructions to
guide the game, but the great majority
string up the bow, hang up the target and
whang away without intelligence. The
following rules will apply to all and in
every locality :
Don't attempt to hold the bow in both
hands when you shoot.
If you shoot over the target lower it. If
you shoot under it have it elevated.
When you miss the target and plow a
farrow along a boy's scalp tally two, one
for the scalp and one for the boy.
Either close both eyes or keep both
open when you shoot. Some favor one
method and some the other, but odds is
the difference as long as your father em
ploys a glazier by the month.
Don't attempt a curve-shot. The arrow
is as apt to come down on the baby's
bead as elsewhere.
Some girls squint up one eye and hang
out their tongue when they pull the bow.
This is not absolutely necessary to a line
shot, though it does look romantic.
There is no particular distance to be
observed, but the nearer the target you
stand the more chance you have of hit
ting some one across the street in the eye.
A center shot is called a "duffer;"
missing- the target is termed a "lone
hand;" hitting the horse-barn is known
as a " phoopee ; " missing the barn and
shooting your aunt's spectacles off her
nose is called a " Tom-tom ; " shooting
across a young man's shoulder is known
as " snuffles ; " sitting down and shooting
backwards over your head is known as
" bluffing the game," and holding a spy
glass up to get a line shot is Called " mash
ing the mark."
General Sherman at West Point.
General Sherman, as everybody knows, is
a mere bundle of highly-elastic steel
nerves. Whether he keeps quiet
when he is asleep, is not easy to say ; but
it is certain that no one ever saw him
quiet when be was awake. This constant
activity combined with a square head and
an aggressive nose, enables him to get
through a great deal of work in a very
short time. Within five minutes after
reaching the piazza, he had shaken hands
with thirty-two men and thirteen ladies,
been presented to seventeen different
persons, introduced to twelve old gentle
men as to many other old gentlemen,
military and otherwise ; trod on five
men's toes, and tangled up in four trains ;
apologised to their respective owners and
wearers; talked with seven pretty young
ladies (the General is a great favorite with
pretty young ladies), started to go three
times and as often come back, and by ac
tual count taken off his old straw hat six
times, and put it on again six different
ways. This last performance was abso
lutely marvelous in the rapidity and
variety of the movements executed. The
General then drove off, and forthwith
started on an inspection tour through the
Academy buildings. He had Chief-Justice
Waite and Secretary McCrary with
him. Declining the attention of two offi
cers who had been detailed to accompany
the party, he undertook the piloting him
self, remarking that "be knew the place
like a book." The Chief Justice is rather
corpulent, and haaa judicial dignity of
movement. The General is thin and an
gular, and walks as if he were late for a
train. He was in splendid spirits; he
swung his hat about and talked like a
school-boy just out for a holiday; he
strode through Jje halls, dived into
rooms, discovered the regions of the
kitchen, dashed through the mess-ball ;
the Chief-Justice made such mighty
efforts to keep up that he was like to ex
pire on the spot. Nevertheless, though
the place was so terrific, he held on, with
Secretary McCrary, who had a tolerably
good second place throughout, finally
brought up at General Schofield's, much
distressed but not distanced. He was
taken in by the attendants, and afterward
the whole party sat down to dinner. N.

A Lord Mayor's Wedding Champagne.
Sir Thomas White ; while Lord Mayor
of London in the summer of 1877, as the
Illustrated London New exhibited, took oc
casion when his daughter was married, to
show his talent as a connoisseur of cham
pagne, while the libations were poured
out in honor of the bride, and in a man
ner which the White House would never
aoorove of. There was another Lord
Mayor of London in 1875, Mr. Stone, who
was a great connoisseur in wine, and
when he died, not long ago, the wines in
cellar were sold at auction. He was noted
for his hospitality. The Londoners were
surprised to find what rare vintages were
brought out of their hiding place. The
champagnes were all found to be of the
Giesler of jAvize, of 1868. It is a wine
that repels direct contact with ice, and is
therefore a good wedding wine where
warmth in requisite. The E-isHsh con
noisseur in champagne in having it serv
ed, is always careful that it is not ruined
by icing. The wine is brought to him di
rectly from the cellar, where it is always
pleasantly cool, and it is seldom, it ever,
surrounded by ice, as in many cases in
this country. For this reason it always
retains its hue vinous flavor and delicate
aroma. Giesler's champagne is better
known in England than in America, and
is valued as being a fine natural wine,
thus contrasting strongly with wines
which are heavily branded and sugared.
Avize, where this wine is made, is the
very centre of the white grape district of
Champagne.
An Improvement in Bread Making.
Persons who are so unfortunate as to be
poorly provided with those agents of
mastication, good teeth, will be glad to
know that there is a method of baking
bread which obviates the necessity of
hard cust. The crust commonly attach
ed to the loaf is not cmly troublesome to
such persons, but is often the cause of
much waste. me way to gei na oi u is
as follows : When the loaves are
moulded, and before they are set down
to "raise," take a small quantity of clean
lard, warm it and rub it lightly over the
loaves. The result will be a crust beau
tifully soft and tender throughout.
A Dolite philosopher says: "A man
owes his success in life to the woman who
walks beside him." 'lb ere are men
common boarders who owe everything
to the woman who walks behind them
with a stick, and yet they do not succeed.
What the Bank Directors say. At a
eeting held a day or two since of var-
inns hank directors of .Portland, tne
question arose as to what was the reason
... a . . ' 1 1 a
of the increase oi tneir deposits, a.
shrewd director solved the question by
saying that heretofore the people naa
been compelled to pay 25 cents for lunch,
but since the opening oi tne now iamou
Pine Street Coffee House in Portland
they had been enabled to save 15 cents
on each lunch, and by this arrangement
they were enabled to maae uoiu euu
meet, and put the extra money to their
credit in the various banks.
Fntozoa. A group of invertebrate an
imals which during some period of their
existence live within and derive nourish
ment from the bodies of other animals,
and with but few exceptions belong en
tirely to the class of helminths or worms.
Animal parasites form in fact a sort of
sub-fauna, and their number is only to
be estimated by the extent of the animal
kingdom. The presence of helminths or
worms in mankind is alarmingly baneful
and prevalent, and their existence until
recently was so little known that many
persons have died from this cause who
were treated for some other ailments.
Indeed it is only within a few years that
heminthology has attained to the position
of a true science, and chiefly through the
labors of a few observers in Germany.
Dr. Yandenberg has on exhibition at his
office, No. 212 First street, Portland, a
large and varied collection of these won
derful and mischievous internal parasites
which by his medicines he has expelled
from many well known individuals in
Portland and elsewhere. As the doctor
charges nothing for advice, the af
flicted should consult him.

RUPTURE !
ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE
EFFECTED BY
Calif rnia Elastic Truss!

ALIFORNIA ELASTIfJ
TRUSS COMPANY. W.
,J. Horhk, Prop'r., Dear sirs
I feel that I owe it to you and.
humanity to write the tact
hat I have been SUBSTAN
TIALLY CURED of a bad
rupture, of thirty years' standing, by one of
your incoraparaoie Trusses, which 1 purchased
from you three months ago. I cannot describe
the suffering, both mentally and physically, that
I have undergone during that period; and now I
feel like a new being. I have worn all kinds of
Trusses, both steel and elastic, and never re
ceived any permanent relief until I tried yours.
Its simplicity of construction, and facility with
which it can be adjusted, and the ease and free
dom to the motions of the body with which it
can be worn without causing any irritation, afe
its chief merits, and it is a perfect supporter. I
have not had any sign of a return of a Rupture
since the first day I put it on, and feel that I am
PERFECTLY CURED. It is invaluble, and the
fact should be known to the world. You can
refer any one to me on the subject of their merits.
I am yours truly,

California, Truss Cot
After practicing medicine many years in this
city, during which time I have had an extensive
experience in the applicatien of all kinds of
Trusses, I can and do recommend yours as the
best in every respect, and is as near perfect as
modern science can make it. It has many advan
tages over the torturing steel hoop Trusses, Which
inflict great injury on the hips and spine, bring
ing on other distressing ailments, such as Lum
bago, morbid affections of the kidney and
numbness in the lower limbs, all of which are
avoided by wearing the California Elastic Truss.
It is not onlv a perfect retainer, comprising ease
and comfort but the pressure can be changed to
any degree. It also remains in its proper plaoe
at all times, regardless ot the motions of the
body, tnd is worn night and day with perfect
ease, it is superior to any oi me ciasnc j russes
now in the market, while it combines the merits
of all. 1st It is easily adiusted on and off with
snaps, doing away with straps and buckles. 2nd
The universal sprinsr between the plates and
pads prevents all irritation, which is a god-send
to the sufferer. 3rd The pad is adjusted on and
off in an iiistant, and can be changed to any
other size and form most suitable to the case. In
fact it combines every quality essential to comfort
and durability, and is unequaled in lightness,
and elas'icity, natural action and artistic finish.
Many of my patients who are afflicted with her
nia are wearing them, and all shall in the future,
for I think the great ease with which these
purely scientific appliances are made efficacious,
is truly wonderful. You can refer any parties to
mo on the subject of their merits.
I remain truly yours,
