LOVE AND LIFE.
Emily Pfeiffer:
How beautiful upon the mountains are
The feet ot Love, beneath whose tread
there grows
The verdure that is the-. herald Tf the rose
And L fe, in lead of Love, how ait thou fair
Thy soul, if tremulous, still brave to dare
The upward path, unwitting whore it goes
And all in holv trust of Love who knows,
To climb at ease from doubt, at rest from
care.
Dear Love, that loadeth Life toward the
springs
Of Light, what darkness may o'erwbelm
her way.
How dense the mist upon the mountain
clings;
Though she may see thee not, be thou her
stay.
Lo the abyss! take heed, she hath no wings,
But hold her fast her feet will still obey.
STORY OF WASHINGTON IRVING.
A Stage Paen:er Who Did Not Ad
mire Writing.
Harper's Magazine.
Many
vears ago in tact, Dacfc m the
thirties Dr. Grant of Enfield, whose
reputation as a physician in Connecticut
is still in memory of the first rank after
years of retirement from practice, was
traveling in Georgia, his native state,
.going by stage from Savannah to Au
gusta. At a certain stopping place it was
found that there were more passengers
than the stage could carry, and an extra
was ordered for the accommodation of
five passengers. These passengers were
John Forsyth, of Georgia, John Branch,
secretary of the navy, Creorge McDuffie,
of .South Carolina, JJr. Grant and an un
known gentleman.
The party soon became talkative, and
by degrees all knew who each one was,
With the exception of the one silent
stranger. As the tage creaked along,
the attention of Dr. Grant, who was a
lad at that date, was attracted by a little
dog following the stage, which reminded
him of one described by Washington
Irving in "Astoria," which he had just
been reading. He was laughing quietly
to himself, when one of the gentlemen
insisted that he should tell them the
cause of his amusement, that they might
join in the fun. Dr. Grant said: ''That
little dog "reminds me of Washington
Irving's dog, whose skin was so tight
that it drew up his hind legs." This led
to a talk about Irving, in which all
joined except the unknown man.
. One of the gentlemen then appealed to
him, and asked if he did not think Irving
one ot tne wittiest and most deligntiul
writers. The person appealed to replied
that he could not sav that he did. The
gentlemen all expressed their astonish
ment, and one of them persisted m de
manding why he did not agree with the
others in their admiration of the favorite
author. "Have you ever read any of his
works?" thev asked. "Yes," was the re
ply. "Well, don't vou think the
'Skttch-Book one of the most beautiful
specimens of English which our country
nas produced ' "Well, no, tne un
known replied; "1 cannot sav that 1 see
anything remarkable in it." "Well,'
said the other, "then vou must be Wash
ington Irving himself, for no one else
could resist the humor and pathos of his
pen." The unknown colored to the roots
of his hair, but made no reply, and his
tormentor continued: "Come, tell us
the truth; are you not Washington Irv
ine himselfr' The poor man at last
blushingly confessed that he was and
men iollowed a general introducing and
hand-shaking, and a delightful and
never-to-be-forgotten stage ride.
The million In Petroleum.
New York Sun.
There are 20,000 producing oil wells
in Pennsvlvania, vielding at present 60,
000 barrels of oil a day. It requires
5,000 miles of pipe hue and 1,600 iron
tanks of an average capacity of 2-1,000
barrels each to transport and store the
oil and surplus stocks. There are now
nearly 38,000,000 barrels of oil stored 'n
the region in tanks. This oiifwou d
make a lake more than one milesqua
and ten feet deep. The money actuary
invested in petroleum production sin.e
1860 is estimated to be more t an $ 12?,
000,000, of which $200,000,000 waseai i
tal from New York citv. -Since 180
more than $12,000,000 has teen used in
building iron tanks, and nearly as much
in pipe lines, all by one corporation. A
3.1,000-barrel tank is ninety feet in
diameter and twenty-eight feet high.
There is a lateral pressure of 6,000
pounds on each square inch of a tank
ot this size when lull ot oil. lucre is
100 ton3 of iron used in constructing
one.
The speculative transactions in petro
leum represent more than $400,000,000
annually. The lowest price crude petro
leum ever brought wa 10 cents a barrel
in 1861. In 1859, when there was
only one well in existence,
Col. Drake's Pioneer at Titus-
ville, the price was $24 a barrel. Besides
the 5,000 miles of pipe line in use in the
oil regions there are in operation 1,200
miles of trunk pipe lines connecting the
regions with Cleveland, Pittsburg, Jiuf-
falo, and New York, and lines building
to Philadelphia and Baltimore. In the
line between Orleans and New York
16,000 barrels of oil are transported
daily. These lines are all the property
of the Standard Oil company, except
one between Bradford and Williamsport,
Pa. The Standard employs 100,000 men.
The product of its refineries repuires
the making of 25,000 oak barrels of
forty gallons each, and 100,000 tin cans
holding five gallons each, every day.
The first American petroleum ever ex
ported was in 1862. Charles Lockart, of
Pittsburg, sent nearly 600,000 gallons to
Europe in that year and sold it for
$2,000 less than the cost of transporta
tion. In 18S3 nearly 400,000,000 gal
lons were exported, for which $60,000,
000 were returned to this country.

COACHING IN NEW YORK.
How
Some metropolitan Mortals
Amuse Themselves.
New York Cor. Chicago Herald.
Coaching is comparatively new to New
York, though the recent parade was our
fifth annual exhibition of the kind. Of
course four-in-hand coaches are to be seen
every day in the summer in the parks, and
on race days one la pretty certain to en
counter five or six on the dusty roads to
Jerome park or Sheepshcad bay, but once
each year, at the opening of summer, the
owners who belong to what Is known as
the Coaching club unite in a parade which
is practically a public exhibition of their
teams, their turnouts, their fair acquaint
ances and themselves. This year there
were sixteen of these drags in the
line, each with the four best horses of its
stable of many animals, in the finest,
cleanest, brightest harness, each driven by
its owner, and each filled inside and cov
ered on top by beautiful women in the
newest and showiest of costumes. The
top of each coach was a veritable flower
bed, so numerous and large were the
bouquets; the top of the coaches looked,
indeed, like floating gardens, and the ladies
seated among them appeared the statelier
roses which blossomed in gay hats and
ribbons above the dead level of their sister
plants.
The ladies wear on such occasions ab
solutely new costumes, lor those reasons
good and sufficient and dear to the
female heart, viz.,. to spite their " own
sex, please ours, and to have them
described in next day's papers. The class
of men and women who habitually appear
in these parades are the same as the class I
have noted as hgunng at the horse show
a little parvenuish. somewhat horsey, and
very much afflicted with the mania for
anything English. They mount the lad
ders to the tops of the coaches and descend
them with great crowds of lookers-on
pushing forward against the wheels of the
coaches with just the slightest tinge of
blushes, though they know that their
handsome boots are being fully revealed
to the profane gaze of the common sort of
people. They seem to enjoy the trip in
spite of its publicity, however, and also
tne dinner which follows it. 1 Ins is usually
given at the Hotel Brunswick, though
it is hereafter to take place in the magnifi
cent dining-hall of the Hoffman house a
banqueting hall, by the way, unequaled
lor magnincence in any palace of Europe.

is always set in the form of a horseshoe,
and the pieces in confectionery, ices, etc.,
which grace the table represent coaches.

do not let the latter go to waste.
Pride and Pie-Crust.
Detroit Free Press.
It was baking day at the Sawyers.
If there was anything Mrs. Sawyer
prided herself upon, it was the tender,
flaky quality of her paste. Jones knew
this.
Mrs. Sawyer was just rolling, that tender
pie-paste into great sheets of transparent
dough, when there came a knock at the
door. Mrs. Sawyer answered it, rolling
pin in hand. It was Willie Jones who had
knocked.
"I'lease, .Mrs. bawyer, said the inno
cent child, "pa would like a piece of your
pie-crust.
"Certainly, Willie," said Mrs. Sawyer,
much nattered, "but it isn t baked yet.
"He doesn't wnnt it baked."
"But he can't eat raw pie-crust."
"He isn't going to eat it."
"Then what is he going to do with it?"
lie said he wanted to mend the har
ness, and make hinges for the barn door
with it, and "
The rolling-pin hung tire, and the boy
escaped, but the barrier between the houses
of Jones and bawyer can never be broken.

Engineering Review.
An absolutely exact straight-edere of
more than thirty-six inches is a wonder of
mechanism. One of six feet was not re
cently believed possible, although several
had been made on different plans of web
like and truss construction. It has been
claimed, however, that almost absolute ex
actness has been secured by a straight-edge
iweive ieei loug. ine appliance looked
like an arched truss, the highest spring of
the arch leing only twenty inches in a
length of twelve feet. The space between
the chord and the spring is filled with
diagonal lattice work. Such a :! is in
valuable in testing lathe and planer beds.

A Man "Without a Face.
London Globe.
There is to be seen at Landrccies, in
the department of the north, an invalid
artillery soldier, who was wounded in
in the lato Franco-German war, when
he was horribly mutilated by the burst
ing of a Russian shell. The man's face
was literally blown oir, including lxth
eves, there Demg ieit oeiuna some
scanty remnants of the osseous and mus
cular systems. Ihe skull, which is well
covered with hair, was left intact, so
that the man had a most hideous and
' ghastly appearance.
This disiigurement has been completely
concealed by a mask, which was made
for him under the direction of the prin
cipal medical officer ot Val de Grace, in
Paris, whither he had been trans
ferred from the field ambulance. The
mask was constructed by a surgeon-
dentist named Delalain. It includes a
false palate and a complete set of false
teeth: and it is so perfect that the
functions of respiration, which were nec
essarily and imperiectly performed, are
almost completely restored to their
normal condition, and the voice, which
was rather nusky, nas resumed its
natural tone. The man speaks distinctly,
the sense of smell, which had entirely
disappeared, has returned, and he can
even play the flute. He wears two false
eyes, simply to fill up the cavities of the
orbits, for t he parts representing the eyes
in the mask are closed. In fact the mask
is so well adapted to what remains of the
real face as to be considered one ot the
finest specimens of the prolhctic art that
could be devised.
Ihe man himself, whose name is
Moreau, and who is in perfect health, is
looked upon as a living curiosity, and
travelers go a good deal out of their way
to see him. His face, or rather his mask,
is, of course, without any expression,
but his -special senses, particularly that
of touch, are extremely developed, and
he goes by the soubriquet of 'Thomme a
la tete de cuv. He wears the military
cross of honor, and delights to talk about
what he had goue through during the
war. To add to his meager pension he
sells a small pamphlet containing a full
description of his wounds, and of the
apparatus that has been so skillfully de
vised as to render him at least present
able to his fellow creatures.

his 30th year. He was a middle-sized,
somewnat nesnv person, ana lie wore a
brown frock coat, a red-figured vest and
a fancy scarf cravat, that concealed the
collar and was fastened to the bosom in
rather voluptuous folds by a double pin
and chain. His haif, which was long
and dark, grew low upon the brow, had
a wavy kink where it started from the
head, and was corkscrewed as it fell on
either side of his face. His forehead re
treated gradually from the eyes, without
any marked protuberance, save at the
outer angle, the upper portion of which
formed a prominent ridge a little within
the assigned position of the organ of
ideality. The eyeballs completely filled
their sockets. The aperture of the lids
was not large, nor the eve uncommonly
clear or bright, but quick, moist ami ex

aspect, with more animation than grace,
and more intelligence than beauty.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
A Yflnnr 2Irr Dementia-How It
was Occasioned Home Sew
j 1 and Startling Truths.
The St. Louis express, on the New York
Central road, was crowded one evening
recently, , when at one ot tne way si-auons,
an elder v crentlenian. accompanied by a
young lady, entered the cars and finally
secured a seat. As the conductor ap
proached the pair, the young lady arose,
and in a pleading voice said:
"Please, sir, don't let him carry me to
the asvlum. I am not crazy; I am a little
tired, but not mad. Oh! no indeed. Won't
you please have papa take me back home?"
t The conductor, accustomed though he
was to all phases of humanity, looked
.with astonishment at the pair, as did the
other passengers in their vicinity. A few
words from the father, however, sufficed,
and the conductor passed on while the
young lady turned herface to the window.
The writer chanced to be seated just be
hind the old gentleman and could not fore
go the desire to speak to him. With a sad
face and a trembling voice the father said:
"My daughter has been attending the
seminary in a distant town and was suc
ceeding remarkably. Her natural quali
ties, together with a great ambition,
placed her in the front ranks of the
school, but she studied too closely, was
not careful of her health, and her poor
brain has been turned. I am taking her
to a private asylum where we hope she
will soon be better."
' At the next station the old man and his
daughter left the cars, but the incident,
so suggestive of Shakespeare's Ophelia,
awakened strange thoughts in the mind
of the writer. It is an absolute fact that
while the population of America increased
thirty per cent during the decade between
1870 and 1880 the insanity increase was
over one-hundred and thirty-Jive per cent
for the same period. Travelers by rail, by
boat, or in carriages in any part of the
land see large and elaborate buildings,
and inquire what they are.
Insane asylums!
Who builds them?
Each state; every county; hundreds of
private individuals, and in all cases their
capacity is taxed to the utmost.
Why?
Because men. in business and the pro
fessions, women, at home or in society,
and children at school overtax their men
tal and nervous forces by work, worry and
care, xnis brings about nervous disorders,
indigestion and eventually mania.
It is not always trouble with the head
that causes insanity. It far oftener arises
from evils in other parts of the body. The
nervous system determines the status of
the brain. Any one who has periodic
headaches; occasional dizziness; a dim
ness ot vision; a ringing in the ears: a
feverish head; frequent nausea or a sink
ing at the pit of the stomach, should take
warning at once. The stomach and head
are in direct sympathy and if one be im
paired the other can never be in order.
Acute dyspepsia causes more insane sui
cides than any other known agency, and
the man, woman or child whose stomach
is deranged is not and cannot be safe fro-n
the coming on at any moment of mania
in some one of its many terrible forms.
Ihe value of moderation and the im
perative necessity of care in keeping the
stomach right must therefore be clear to
all. The least appearance of indigestion,
or mal-assimilauon of food should be
watched as carefully as the first approach
of an invading army. Many means have
been advocated for meeting such attacks,
but all have heretofore been more or less
defective. There can be no little doubt.
however, that for the purpose of regulat
ing the stomach, toning it up to proper
action, keeping its nerves m a normal con
dition and purifying the blood, Warner's
lippecanoe lae West, excels all ancient or
recent discoveries. It is absolutely pure
and vegetable; it is certain to add vigor to
adults, while it cannot by any possibility
injure even a child. The fact that it was
used in the days of the famous Harrison
family is proof positive of its merit, as it
has so thoroughly withstood the test of
time. As a tonic and revivifier it is
simply wonderful. It has relieved the
agony of the stomach in thousands of
cases; soothed the tired nerves; produced
peaceful sleep and averted the coming on
of a mania more to be dreaded than death
itself.
