The winter blast is stem and cold.
Yet summer has its harvest gold.
Sorrow and gloom the soul may meet,
Yet love wrings triumph with defeat.

Yet rivers to the ocean run.
Karth brings the bitterness of pain.
Yet worth the crown of peace will gain.

THE NEW GIRL
"Now, Charlie, you'll be sure to
remember."
"To Remember what? " said Mr
Meredith with a hopeless expression
of insanity on his countenance
Kate Meredith dropped both hands
despairingly at her sids.
"diaries ! she exclaimed, "yon
doti't mean to say that you have for
gotten already f
"My dear," said Mr. Meredith,
fumbling in the depth of his over
coat poek t for a missing glove,
may not have forgotten, but I don't
just exactly remember."
'The oysters," suggested his wife.
"Oh, yes the oysters," said Mr
Meredith.
"And the two ounces of dfouble
zjpi.yr wool.
"Exactly."
"And the depot hack to be wait
ing at two o'clock for your cousin
from Philadelphia."
Mr. Meredith slapped one hand on
the table. "She is coming to-day; I
declare togoodness !" he ejaculated.
"And a dozen Havana oranges for
dessert, and two pounds of white
grapes and some of the delicious lit
tle Naples biscuits and macaioons
oh, and let thetri send up a girl from
St. Clair's."
"A which ?"
"A girl, you goose, for general
housework. Phcbe wnt home this
morning with a face ache, and I can't
be left here alone with company
coming and all. Mind she's a good
cock and understands wailing on the
table."
And Mr. Meredith rud.ed off to
catch the C:30 express, with kaleidos
copic confusion of grapes, zephyr
wool, depot hacks, oyster and serv
ing maids careering through his
brain, which boded ill for Mrs. Mere
dith's domestic plans.
While that lady, clasping both
hands over her head in a son of
tragic despair, rushed down into the
kitchen, whete a very good looking
young man of two or' three and
t wenty was ou his ktjees, in front of
the range, trying to coax a most uu-
willine fire to- burn.
"Well ?" said he
"Tom," cried she, hysterically, "can
you make a lobster salad ?"
'Like a book," said Tom.
'And coffee ?"
"I learned in Paris."
'Good. And I can make butter
milk biscuit and between us, we
can get up a decent lunch for a yonnir
lady from Philadelphia. As for din
ner
'Well
again remarked the
young man w ith the soot-bespangled
nose.
"Providence must provide," sighed
the matron.
'There's an old chintz-colored
rooster in the barnyard. If I could
catch him, I'd have a chicken stew."
'Tom, did you ever make a chick
en stew ?"
"No."
"Then you don't know what you
are talking about," said the lady,
with some asperity.
'Yes I do, too. Onions, potatoes,
celery, pearl bailey, with a piuch oi
alt"
"Nonsense'' interposed Mrs. Mere
dith. "Go pick that lobster out of
its shell, and leave off romancing.
You are a deal better at poetry and
newspaper sketches than you are in
the kitchen; though to be sure," with
twinge of conscience, "goodness
knows what I should do without you
just at this particular emergency,
you dear old darling."
The lobster was only half picked
out of its shell, the butter-milk bis
cuit was still unmixed, and Mrs.
Meredith, with a pocket handker
chief tied around her pretty brown some connecting train.
hair, waB dusting the little drawing
room, when there ca .e a ring at the
door bell.
She put the perturbed head out of
the window iu a most unceremonious
manner.
"Who is there ?" she demanded in
a high contralto.
"Dues Mrs. Meredith live here?"
retorted a woman's voice. And at
the same instant the yonn; matron
caught sight of a ntat, black leather
bag, a black alpaca dress and a
shawl of the plainest Highland plaid.
"It's the new girl, thank Provi
dence !" said Mrs. Meredith, as she
ran down the stairs, thanking honest
Charlie in her heart for his unexpect
ed promptness."
"Come in," said she, opening the
door wide, "I am so glad that you
are punctual, my rood girl. From
St. Clair's intelligence bureau. I
sppose ? No, don't take your thirgs
off here; the servant's room is down
stairs; so you might just as well come
immediately down to the kitchen."
She led the way down, followed
by the new girl, whose countenance
bore a rather bewildered expression.
" What is your name ?" she asked
patronizingly.
"My name ? Oh, it's Martha," re
plied the stranger, in still greater
confusion.
"Martha?" criticaily repeated
Mrs. Meredith; "What an ugly
name ! I think I shall call you Pat
tie. Have you good references?"
"I I beHeve so."
"I think," said Mrs. Meredith sur
veying her from tip to toe, "you are
a- little over dressed for your situa
tion, Pattie; but of course you have
some plainer clothes in your trunk.
when it comes ?"
The stranger lifted a pair of grave
blue eyes to the tall form girdled
around wi;h a towel, who was vig
orously wrestling with the claws of
i stupendiotis lobster at the table
bevotid.
"Do you keep a man cook ?" asked
the girl.
Mrs. Meredith drew herself tip.
"Certainly not. This is my
brother, Mr. Selwyn. who is kindly
assisting ine to Dke salad."
Hut he is not doing it right. He
will never get the meat out of the
shell iu that way. Let me show you,
Mr. Selwyn."
And with deft fingers she loosened
the white fiber from the shell in a
manner that made Mr. Selwyn cry
bravo !
And now, Pattie. I will show you
where the things are, and leave you
to get up as nice a lunch as you can,
for at 2:30 o':ock we are expecting
my husband's cousin from Philadel
phia. I want every thing in perfect
order."
"I will finish that salad," said Tom,
who had secretly been observing the
pretty face and trim figure of the
new domest:c, "now that 1 have
commenced it. t$ut you need not
iook pun u rued, rattle, it that is
y.nir name. I will be careful not to
get in your way. Ami you ask my
sister if I am not a handy sort of a
fel-ow around the kitchen."
Kite shook her head surreptitious
ly at Tom behind the screen, but he
resolutely affected not to perceive the
warning gesture.
Half an hour afterward he came
up to the dining-room, where Mis.
Meredith was arranging her best li
lac and gold china.
"Kale, she is a jewel. A gem of
the first water. Depend upon it she
has not always worked in a kitchen.
I quoted Shakespeare, appropos of
something or other, I do not remem
ber what, and she recognized the
grand old words at once her eyes
brightened, and you should have seen
the color come into her cheeks."
"Quoting Shakespeare to a common
kitchen girl!" cried Mrs. Meredith,
in amazement.
"But I tell you she is not a com
mon kitchen girl.""
"I don't believe in high life below
stairs," said his sister, disdainfully.
The lunch came up at 2:30 in per
fect order, but no cousin from Phila
delphia arrived, no hack rolled up to
the door.
"How provoking," said Kate,
"Miss Meredith must have missed
Charlie will
Isn't that plain
beso vexed. But, howevar, I do not
so much mind company coming in at
any lime, now that I have got an ex
cellent girl."
The dinner of excellently roasted
quail and rabbit fricassee, with a des
seret of custard and j'dly, was duly
served at precisely seven o'clock, at
which hour Mr. Meredith bounced in,
hot and Hushed with the haste he bad
made.
"Where is she?"
"Where is who?" cried Kate.
"My cousin from Philadelphia?"
"Old she has not come."
"Not come?"
"No."
Mr. Meredith drew a sigh of min
gled regret and relief.
"Then, a ter all, it is not so very
unlucky,'' said he.
"What is not so very unlucky? My
dear Charles, you are expressing your
self altogether in riddles."
"That I forgot all about the oys
ters and the zephyr wool and the ser
vant girl."
"Forgot?"
"Yes forgot!
English?"
"But you did not forget," remon
strated Mrs. Meredit'". "She is here
now in the kitchen."
Mr. Meredith started. "I have
seen no one. Si ever thought of the
girl from that moment to this, lgivc
yon my word and honor."
"Then who did send hei?" ejacu
lated his wile slowly.
"Ring the bell. Let us have her
up here. Who knows but she is
one of those confidence women with
an eye to the forks and spoons?"
As he spoke he jerked the bell cotd
with some energy. In a minute or
two the new girl came up courtesy-.
ing.
Mr. Meredith uttered an exclama
tion of amazement.
"Why, it is .Martha Meredith!"
shouted he. "It is my cousin from
Philadelphia."
And ho clasped her in his arms
with a showei of kisses which made
honest Tom's hair stand ou end.
"I wish she was my cousin lrom
Philadelphia," he uttered, in a stage
whisper, aside.
Kate turned as scarlet as a pepper
pod.
"Oh, good oraciou? I" she cried,
clasping her hands nervously, "and I
took her for a cooiv."
"I am a cook when occasion re

SEXSI3LE resclctioss.
Passed by the Linn county Busi
ness Council : .
Hcsoloed, That this Council is
pleased to hear that the Albany
Farmers' Company proposes to'
place in their warehouses at Albany
a sufficient number of run of burrs'
to grind all the wheat stored with
them, and believing that the build
ing of such flouring mills is of great
benefit to the producers of this
county, and to our people, at large,'
we extend to this Company our
hearty support.
WiiiiitEAS, The newspapers gen
eially throughout this county have
been in the habit during political
campaigns of publishing unbecoming
and wholly uncalled lor statements
against the private character of the
nominees of either political party,
and as we believe such conduct is
prejudicial to the morals of the peo
ple and beneficial to none, therefore,
lie it
liesooed. That it is the sense of
this Council that all slanderous and
indecent documents should be re
fused publication, and the C-Mincil
respectfully requests the newspaper
proprietors to refrain from giving
Ihem a place in their papers.
THE DOME OF THE CAPITOL.
The dome of the capital at Wash

23 feet higher th in the Trinity tower

It is a vast hollow sphere of iron,
weighing 8,000,000 pounds. HoV

A Wild Woman In the Woods.
A Frenchman who recently visited
a place called Bear's swamp, near
Stamford, Vermont, on a bunting ex
pedition, tells the following story,
and the marks on his lace to some ex
tent corrobated his statement:
Altering travelling about the
woods, with varying success, for
aooui nan an hour, the hunter was
slanted? by a sudden noise in the
thicket near by, seeing a strange ap
parition, which he at first sight im
agined was a bear, he started on a
run for the nearest tree. A -vild,
maniacal laugh greeted him, and the
black, hairy creature disappeared,
walking, as- he thought, on its hind
legs. The sound emitted from the
creature's lungs led the hunter to be
lieve that it was something other
than a bear, and mustering as ranch
courage as he could command, he
started to investigate. He had gone
but a short distance into the brush
when he caught sight of the black
figure leaning over a sprjng- and
drinking, its b3ck- toward the hunter.
The time had arrived for action, and
throwing away his gun the man
rushed to the creature, clasping his
arms aronnd what proved to be the
waist of a woman, perfectly nnde,
