Newspaper Page TextGO THROUGH. BY LILL1JC E. BA EH. When I was a careless girl I rode by my father' side, . Over the Ulverstone sands, where rapid and deep is the tide; Up from the Solway it came, while lan'ward the great winds blew; "Father," I sobbed, "the channel is deep, Oh, what shall we do?" And I hear through the clamor of years, his cheery "Go Through!" ii. The fog came down like a curtain, the day was stormy and cold. Over the dumb wet sands we rode, while tie Solwai deeper roll'tl; Rolling for life against wind and tide, quicker and quicker we flew, Till the last of the shifting fords was passed, and Home in view. "Dear girl," he sa d, "when you're in a strait, don't stop to fear Go Through!" HI. "Go Through!" These words have found my soul, and been to it a guide, When sorrow's wo ves, more swift and deep than Sol way '8 highest tide, Have found me on dreary shores, where not a friend I knew, And hemmed me round with billows cold, while loud the sad winds blew; Then o'er the storm blown space I've heard, "Don't stop to fear Go Through!" iv. When life has seemed too hard for me, and from my weary hand My task has dropp'd; I've heard again the sharp and clear command; When 'Hills of Difficulty' rose, and o'er the pathway grew The thorns and briars of petty cares, the cheerful voice I knew Called clear across the weary years, "Stop not to fear Go Through!" v. Oh, never doubt! No tide can rise, so swift, and cold and deep, That it shall hinder thee, the straighttnd home ward road to keep; No mist can fall, that shall have power to hide thy heavenward view; Only unto thy highest thought, to Love and Toil be true: And thou may say in every strait, "Brave Soul, True Soul! Go Through!" My Wife's Sew Friend. Mrs. Jones has quite a habit of culti vating sadden friendships, which have every appearance of blooming eternally. but which soon wither in the world's cold blasts. I nsed to think this charac teristic was confined to school girls, who Bwear immortal fidelity in letters crossed and recrossed, but forget each other as soon as they have caught a lover. My wife's last acquisition in the way of a bosom friend is Mrs. Mortimer Mowbray, with whom she became ac quainted last summer, whje we were boarding out of town. Mrs. Mortimer Mowbray had her car riage with her, and created quite a sen sation ; in fact, every lady in the house was eager to become her confidante; but the amiable deportment of Mrs. Jones, combined, I doubt not, with hei intel lectual accomplishments, rendered her the favorite; and she it was who daily occupied the spare seat ia the coach, and had the honor of advising Mrs. Mow bray in those thousand grave perplex ities under which women suffer. We returned to the city after the Mowbrays, but my wife, although usually very firm on questions of eti quette, waived her privileges on this oc casion, and made the first call. She was graciously received, and came home in high spirits. All that evening she could do nothing but talk of Mrs. Mortimer Mowbray. "Such an elegant eetablishment," she said. "A footman with manners like a prince, waited at the door. The draw ing room was the perfection of luxury and taste. Mrs. Mowbray had on such a aweet cap, and altogether looked so ladylike. Her manners were, indeed, most aristocratic, just what one would suppose those of a countess to be." In a few days Mrs. Mowbray returned my wife's call, coming in a shining new carriage, and with a new span of horses. Her equipage created quite a sensation in our street. Mrs. Jones soon after this began to act as though brooding over some vast de sign, which, not being quite matured, she deemed it wise to be silent respect ing. At last, however, the mighty secret was gently broached. "I was thinking, Jones," she said one night, just as I was composing myself to sleep on my pillow, "that we ought to give a party. Not a regular ball, indeed , but a select entertainment, where a few congenial minds may be brought to gether. I should like so to introduce my dear Mrs. Mowbray to some of the choicest of our set. Now I detest parties, small or large, but as the delicacy of my wife's nerves does not allow of her being thwarted, 1 made no objection to the proposal, though l signed to myseu. "Of course, my dear," I said, "you Jmow best. "Well ask about thirty," continued my wife, warming with the subject. "There's Mrs. Wharton, and Mrs. Hor ace Shinn, and Mrs. Price, and the three Misses Trelawneys," and thus the dear creature ran on until she had mentioned about forty names, and I saw that her "select party of congenial souls was going- to be after all a crowded ront. "You have forgotten the two Misses Howell," I said at last when my wife stopped for breath. The two Misses Howell were amiable, intelligent and pretty girls, in whom I took a particular interest because their father had once been an extensive ship ping merchant, but having been reduced tne Bisters were compelled to earn a live lihood by standing in a store. They had numerous rich relations on whom they might have billeted themselves, but, with . a spirit oi proper independence, they preferred to work for their maintenance, instead of eating the brea3 of charity. I had nourished a romantic idea of see ing them married well, and consequent ly made it a point always to invite them to our parties; to praise them highly to the young gentlemen there, and in every other indirect way to assist in realizing my pet scheme. My wife, heretofore, had seconded me in my benevolent plan; but on the pres ent occasion she hesitated to reply and I knew at once that there was something the matter. "Ahem!" she said at last, clearing her throS. "Ahem! The Misses Howell are very nice girls to be sure that is in their place but as it is to be a select party, and as I have already mentioned rather too many, and as Mrs. Mowbray may not want to meet all sorts of people, and as " "Stop my dear." I said with a sigh, for I saw that my favorites were not to be invited, "you have given reasons enough. It is a great pity though." And I sighed again a sigh of passive resignation. My wife heard my sighs, and her ten der heart was touched. She paused a moment in embarassment, and perhaps even revolved the idea of yielding to my wishes, but, in the and, she raised her self on her elbow and ;id: "Mr. Jones, do listen to reason. You don't know how foolish you make your self about those Howell girls. They've been unfortunate.to be sure; and they're very passable indeed ; bnt there's, a prej udice, against girls who stand in stores; and who knows but what Mrs. "Mowbray would take offense at my inviting such persons to meet her? I shouldn't like to do it indeed, without first asking her; and I can't do that this time. She's very particular and so excessively high bred' "Then I don't think she'd regard you the less, my dtar " I ventured to say "for being acquainted with two such excellent girls as Patty and Lizzie Howell." "Mr. Jones, don't be a child," replied my wife, flinging herself on the other side of tne bed. "At your age you should know something of the world. Exclusive people, like Mrs. Mowbray, don't care to meet nobodies. She was very choice, as you say, as to whom she admitted to her acquaintance this sum mer; I may say, indeed, that I am the only one of all she met whom she recog nizes now. To have protracted the conversation would have excited my wife's nerves and deprived her of sleep, so 1 said no more, but closed my eyes and courted slumber anew. 1 have no recollection of any thing after that, till I awoke the next morning, and leaving airs. joDes aoed, as usual, went down to see that the fires were all right, and do the marketing while the breakfast was being prepared The invitations to the party were issued that week. Mrs. Mortimer Mow bray graciously promising to attend. When the important evening arrived, my wife was all nerves. At every ring of the bell the color rose to her face with expectation; but guest after guest en tered without Mrs. Mowbray appearing Her nervousness soon began to change to anxiety, and this, as the hours wore on, to disappointment and dismay. ne de laved the supper for a full hour, think ing that her new friend might yet ar rive; but in vain. "What can be the matter, I wonder?" she said to me, as soon as we were alone "I hope the dear babe is well. Perhaps, however, Mrs. Mowbray is herself sick. Dear me. I am afraid I shall not sleep for anxiety. The first thing 111 do to morrow will be to call on Mrs. Mowbray and see what is the matter. "Wouldn't that be against etiquette?" I ventured to ask. "It seems to me that Mrs. Mowbray should send you a note or message, or something of that sort, at least, to apologize for her absence. Mrs. Jones did not reply in words, but she gave me a look. And such a look1 It expressed all the indignation which her outraged bosom felt at hav ing the slightest suspicion cast upon her friend. When I came home to dinner that day, 1 saw at a glance that something had oc curred to ruffle my wife's nerves. She had nothing whatever to say to me, but she scolded the servants and children in cessantly. I was too wise to inquire what was . wrong. I knew that Mrs. Jones, if she thought proper, would tell me ; and if not, that idle questions would only aggravate the secret troubles. But the next day, having heard some thing that cast light on Mrs. Mowbray's absence from our party, I could not con tain myself when I came home. "Did you ever hear, my love," I said, as I began to carve the turkey at dinner, "that the Misses Howell had a married sister?" Mts. Jones looked sharply up, as if she suspected 1 meant more than 1 said, and then answered laconically. "I heard it casually, but never asked further. "It seems," I continued, "that Mrs Mortimer Mowbray i& that sister." "I have- heard so since, -said Mrs Jones, sharplv; and, turning to our sec ond child, who was asking for the wing bone, she rapped him over the head, ex claiming tartly : "Haven 1 1 told you to wait until you were helped ? Take that now, and then learn manners." I allowed a minute and more to elapse, in order that my wife's ebullition might subside, when I remarked : "Mrs. Mowbray, it seems, expected to meet her here. "I shouldn't wonder if she did." snap pishly said Mrs. Jones, looking down in her plate, and apparently absorbed in parting a wmg-ioint. "When she found,"! continued, "that her sisters were not asked, she grew in dignant. She heard the reason, it seems Your friend Mrs. Wharton, whom you nad made a oonndante, told some lady, who told her, and hence her anger." "I am sure I don't care if I don't see the proud thing again." said mv wife. reddening very much, but still without looking up. "One could not have enp posed that she was a sister to the Misses Howell." After another pause, I said: "Did you call on Mrs. Mowbray, as you intended T Mrs. Jones was silent for a full min ute, and seemed half disposed to decline answering altogether, but finally she blurted out her reply, as follows: "Yes, I did, since yon must know. And she wasn't in. So, at least, the foot man said; but if I didn't see her at the drawing-room window," and here she broke into tears of mortification and rage, "may I never eat another mouthful." I saw that it would not do to continue the conversation; so I quietly ate my dinner, kissed the children, and, like the Christian in "The Pilgrim's Progress," went my way. Of course the intimacy of my wife with Mrs. Mowbray ceased from the date of that fatal party; and, I am sorry to say, that the Misses Howell also have, as the phrase goes, "cut our acquaintance." A Canning Cat. A gentleman who took a trip into the country yesterday, when on the plains, a mile from any house, noticed a cat, a hnge one, almost as large as a fair-sized dog. It was lying upon the ground, its feet uppermost, in such a .way that he had no doubt it had fallen a victim to some vicious dog. Around it, feeding unsuspiciously, was a flock of small birds. The' apparently lifeless cat was within range of the vision of the ob server for some time, and just as he was thinking how much easier it would be for an animal to feign death and catch a bird by deceiving it than by slipping up to it, he was astonished to see the cat suddenly roll over and grab one of the feathered tribe that was very near. The other birds flew away a hundred yards or so and alighted. The oat only made one or two mouthfuls of the game and .then crept around to the windward of the birds, laid itself down, and once more successfully played the dead dodge. The gentleman drove awav without seeing how many birds it took to satisfy the feline. Carson Appeal. The chief requisite of a first-class Washington correspondent nowadays is to be able to tell with unerring precision what a public man is going to do before he finds it out himself. And there be many first-class Washington correspond ents just now. Not Bad . The Bridgeport Standard tells the fol lowing story "for true" : At a church sociable sometime ago a theological student was detailed to assist a young lady, whom he had long ad mired from afar, in making out a new Sabbath school library catalogue. The prospective minister found the task by no means an unpleasant one, as the charming, young creature read him the title of each book from the title page while he delightfully copied it into the catalogue before him. In fact, there flittered through the mind of the sedate and rather bashful youth several times the question whether the aforesaid maiden, with her pretty figure and bright eyes, could not be induced to be come the "sharer of his labors and toils." "I believe I would ask her to-night, if I only dared," thought the young man. "But I don't dare, so there's the end of it." And with gloomier face than before he continued his work, calling out, "Next book!" almost mechanically a3 fast as he had transcribed the former title. He was aronsed from his reverie by the following rejoiner to one of his demands for "next book." "Why don't you do it?" He started as though the girl had been reading his thoughts. "Do what?" he inquired, by way of drawing her out. But the young lady replied not a word. To gain time he again said: "Next book?" "No time like the present," said the maiden with an encouraging smile. "I see it is of no use to hide my thoughts from you, Miss M.," he said, struggling with his embarrassment. "Your last two remarks have shown me how perfectly you realize my state of mind. I will therefore follow your ad vice and embrace the present oppor tunity of asking you whether you are willing to accept me as your partner for life. Your answer, I am confidant from t iose remarks, will be affirmative." It was the young lady's turn to be embarrassed. "To what remarks did yon refer?" she said. "To the two sentences in which you so delicately blended words of advice and encouragement on this most import ant of subjects, when you said, 'Why don't you do it,' and 'No time like the present.' " The girl looked puzzled for a moment, and then burst into a merry laugh. "Why, those were the titles of the books you called for. Well, you have got yourself into a pretty fix," and she laughed at the discomfited student, maliciously. "Miss M.," said the young man, springing up with sudden earnestness, "I beg you will consider the words which I cannot now recall. Be mine and I shall be supremely happy. Refuse me and you will make me miserable for life. Will you be min?" "Yes, yes, don't make such a noise about it, or somebody will overhear you." Blow lour Horn. My boy, blow your own horn. Rise above the thing mistaken for honesty, which defrauds the world of something good. If you have a musical horn, blow it. If yon don't, it may not be blown, and the world will lose so much good music. But makeoretty sure that you have something to say before you yell, "Mr. Chairman !" You may get the floor and make a fool of yourself. Don't blow your horn for the mere purpose of making a noise. Music is noise, but noise is not necessarily mnsic. Don't attract attention to yourself un til you have something about you that will" bear scrutiny. Don't flash your paste pin before the eyes of a diamond broker. If you have a gem it will do very well to let him examine it. Don't wear a "loud" necktie with a dirty collar. The necktie will serve only to attract attention to the collar. Keep in the crowd until you have something in your mind that will make you shine cn the platform. Then don't be afraid to step to the front. Your, object should be to do the human family good. If you think you possess an idea that will help your fellows, stand out where they can all hear it and yell it to them. Little men will say yon lack modesty. Qreat men will say you are doing good. If yon prefer the good opinion of great men, blow your horn whenever you have learned a new and righteous tuna. Nobody expects a miser who hoards bis money. Why should respect be paid to the scholar who hoards his lore? And what satisfaction can be derived from cramming one's self with knowledge un less it be for the purpose of disseminat ing it among those who have it not? It is by communion of ideas that the world is caused to progress. If you learn something that nobody else knows you will retard the progress of the world's erudition in proportion as you Keep your secret. I rejoice that it is the nature of most men to be glad of opportunity to tell the world something that it never knew be fore. It is good proof of an excellent unselfishness. Dig for knowledge as you would for gold, my boy, and when you get a nug- fet of either, put it in circulation. "Ben Wilpe," in Aurora News to his little boy. A Sad Iowa Romance. It was up at Melrose, in Grundy county. She was a farmer's daughter. She had said "yes" to a nice young man who worked on a neighbor's farm, and the day was set. Just before it came she loaned the nice young man $6 to buy some fixings with. Two days after, her father met the nice young man in town and loaned him $5 with which to get a marriage license. He got the license, bnt he put another girl's name in it and went off and married ber on the day he agreed to marry the girl who loaned him $6. .VP POINTED ATTOKHKY. Mr. Benjamin I.
