4 OUR GOLD STRING. JA5B W. B (10 HER. Ou? minstrel's harp was daintily strung Empsarled like a Bhell of the sea Sweet the cords we wept as we sung i In pride of our minstrelsy. I And 'mid the strings of our harp somewhere But that where could notweil be tola For all were gilded there and fair, . There nestled one string of gold. j And whatever tones our minstrels brought From the cords they waked from sleeping Iiito the music alt unsought ; A thrilling sound came creeping, j For softly above the pnlsin? beat, ! The surge of the son? an 1 shiver, j With clearer sound and note more sweet, The golden string would quiver. And heavy hearts, oppressed with griaf, broke At the harp-throhs into fobbing; ; In ever? heart an echo awoke From the golden string's wild throbbing. And mortals thought that one sift note Had slipped from the great jiearl poital, Down thedini dt-pihs of c pace afloat, j - From the swtl't cLoir immoital 1 ' The fountain drops wiLh a liquid chime .On the brook thai flows tu tiis sea. j . We are drops in the stream of time, j Sweeping to eternity. f There came a dawn in the early spring, When never song remains unsung,, ' When birds were lightest on the wing, And the world again feels young. , The meadows sparkled with morning dew, ' Birds sang in their wildwooJ bowers, Fluttered their little wings, and grew j Mad. with joy, in sunny showers, j The nightingale piped his sweetest lay Spring's the time for song or never The sweet time came and died away," The harp was stilled foreyer. j - The wonted'breezea touched the strings, But they echoed back no token, Mourners sobbed as the sun went down, Our golden string lay broken. THE LOYKItV QUARREL; BY SAFIZ. "Never, while I live,' leigh, " never while I said Miss Rash- 1 live, will I see your faoe again!" She meant it when she said it; and as her betrothal ring shd spoke, she threw towards her lover, who had ofifendod her. It missed him, and rolled down upon the floor, and over the sill of an open china closet one of these old-fashioned closets that used -to stand on either side of the mautlepiece. i Bha did not notice where it rolled; he did though; and after she had left the room, he turned to pick it up. The ring she bad worn would always be precious to mm. Mis Btshleigh went straight to her own room, as miserable a girl as ever lived ; and a moment later Grandmother Kashieigh bustled into the drawing room, pushed the green closet door to. picked up the fallen magazine, set the aunuua and books of poetry straight on the table, pulled down the shades, ar ranged the chairs mathematically against the wall, and bustled out again, f "I've had these things fifty years," she sail to herself ; "and there's Cornelia with her beau with no more respect for them than if they were so much lum ber." ! Then she closed the door behind her, ami went away to tier own room up stairs, where a fine silk patchwork quilt was in the frame, a surprise for said Cor neha. t Grandma Kashieigh gave every young person of the family something of her own manufacture on his or her wedding- day. ! "Now," the old lady had said, a dozen times, to Tripheny King, who was help ing her, "I rather tlimk Cornelia will have the best thing I've done; and there's a bit in it in every handsome silk there's ever been in the family, and of her father's and grandfather's wedding vests." ; "Yes'm; it's a real memorial quilt," said Trepheny. "It takes you, mum, to plan such things," The quilt was finished and bound that afternoon; and Tripheny 's j ib of quilt ing being over, she went home, but she carried about the village the news that she "was sure all was over between Miss Kashieigh and Mr. Spear. She'd heard Cornelia say something to her grandma, and the old lady was furious." j "He would never h ive done that if he had cared for me, j ou know, grandma," Cornelia was saying at that moment. "Stuff and nonsense! lie loves the ground you walk on," said tha old lady. "You'll never get 6uch another, Cor nelia!" ! . "1 shall never marry at all. I hate men!" Cornelia answered. j And then her grandmother mado the house too hot to hold her and she went over to her mother's, her usual course when she fell out with grandma. Three days passed. At the end of the third, Piety Pratt stepped in at j Mrs. 'Kashleigh's young Mrs. Kashieigh, as they called her, though she was nearly fifty, for grandma was old Mrs. Kash ieigh, "I expect you'll feel upset when I tell you the news, Cornelia," she: said. "You've been too cruel this time he, he, he? Orville Spear ha'nt been heard of since he was at your house.! His mother says ho went over to explain and make up, and he never came back he, he! She thought may bo he'd stepped over to his brother's, but he hadn't he, he! I reckon he's drownded himself!" "I don't know why the whole town should talk over my affairs, and every meddling old maid giggle about them!" cried Cornelia. Piety jumped to her feet, seized her parasol, and turned towards the door. "Good afternoon, Miss Cornelia and Mrs. Kashieigh!" she Baid, with a con temptuous courtesy. "I'll remember . my manners, if other folk forget theirs. Only there's other folks as likely to be old maids as me, and I fancy it's Mrs, Spear's affairs now if anything has hap pened to her boy F Away flounced Miss Pratt. "You've put Piety into a rage, Corne lia," said Mrs. Kashieigh. "That's a pity; she has along tongue!" i But Cornelia was crying. "Oh, mother, dear," she sobbed, "it isn't true, is it? Orvillo did feel dread fully. Won't you see, mother?" But at this moment Sally, the little servant girl from Grandma Kashleigh's, came flying into the room, without any more warning than if she had been shot from a gun. "The old missus says you are to come over at once both you ladies!" she cried, standing before Mrs. Kashieigh, and re peating her lesson like a parrot. ' 'There's something of importance, and y n're needed at worst." "Get your bonnet, Cornelia," said her mother. "I'll just put on this sun hat. Vhat is it, Sally, do you know?" "I know it's something dreadful. Missus is almost wild, and there's lots of fjlks there. Something about! Mr. Spear." ! The two ladies said no more. They hurried , away together, and, entering grandma's parlor, found there assembled more of the members of the Spear family, and a friend or two besides. Orville had indeed disappeared, tie had never been home since his visit to Cornelia; and now the alarmed relatives were anxious to get all the information they could regarding the interview be tween Orville and Cornelia. I had reason to be angry, Mrs. Spear," said Cornelia, proudly; "good reason; and 1 took off my ring, and gave it back, and went out of the room. That is all I know. I don t know when ne went or where. I I thought he wouldn't mind so much. I believed he had stopped caring about me." "He ought to now, at all events, saia grandma. "Mv bov is dead. Im sure! 1 shall have the pond dragged!" said Mrs Spear, amidst her tears. "He left all his money at home. He wouldn't have gone traveling without a change of clothes. Oh, you wicked girl !" "I hope,'? cried the eldest Miss Spear, that hell haunt you!" "I could kill you, you hateful thing!" cried the youngest Miss Spear. Cornelia had kept up bravely until now; but when her two friends turned upon her thus, she gave a little scream, and fell over on the sofa. She was in a dead swoon and the water they sprinkled in her face did not bring her to. Grandma grew frightened. "I hope it isn't an attack of heart dia- ease, she said. "I'oor cniid I sue iooks as if she were dead. "Oh, do not say that!" cried the mother. They gathered around Cornelia and did all they could for her; and soon she recovered and sat up; Tout all her pride was gone. "Oh, d ear N-oh, dear!" she sobbed "I wish I had died! I wish I had never come to! Oh, Orville! Orville! what has become of you ?" "Oh! oh!" moaned the mother. "Oh! oh!" moaned the sisters. And Cornelia's head fell back again "Emma, get the lavender out of the china-closet." said grandma to her daughter. "Ouick! It's on the corner shelf!" - Mrs. Kashieigh rushed to the closet. "It won't open!" she cried wildly. "It's a patent lock," said grandma; "locks as it shuts. Here s the key. And Mrs. Kashieigh flew back to the door, opened it, and uttered a shriek. i There on the floor, huddled up under the shelf, lay joor Orville Spear. He was white and limp. ! Cornelia sat and ssared at him in the most awful way.- She thought him dead, but the more experienced matron saw that he was yet living. Sally was sent post-haste for the doc tor; and there in Mrs. Kashleigh's draw ing-room he found Cornelia and Orville lying quite unconscious, like Romeo and Juliet in the scene at the tomb, and the rest of the party in a state of bewilder ment and terror past description. At last, however, both were conscious, and seated in arm-chairs, regarded each other, while the observers kept silence, and Mr. Orville Spear uttered the first words. "Of all confounded fools" "Who, dear?" asked his mother. "Me," said Orville, regardless of gram mar. "Who shut me in? "What were you in the closet for?" asked grandma, with a . guilty consci ence. "To pick something up that rolled there," said Orville. "The ring:" asked Cornelia, fran tioally. "Yes, tho ring," said Mr. Spear, "More fool I ! Some one banged the door to. I shouted, and howled, and kicked, and no one heard me. "Oh! oh! oh! oh!" shrieked Cornelia "I believe you hid there ' just to kill me for no other purpose than out of re m t a, . . . m venge." ion Pangea tne door on me, said Mr. Spear. "A jealous woman will do anything." "I banged the door, Orville!" said old Mrs. Kashieigh; "I! You'd left every thing flying. I just pushed it as I passed; and you ought to bless your stars that you are alive; for. people don't go into the drawing-room, sometimes for a fort night, in this small family. We use .the parlor much more; and I'm deaf, and so is old Hepsiba, and you might have died there. Yes, and you'd have killed him, Cornelia," added the old lady, "throw ing his pretty diamond ring on the floor!" "Oh!" moaned Cornelia, "Oh!" "It wasn't her fault. I was a con founded fool all through!" cried Orville. "I knew that closet had a spring-lock. No; don't blame Cornelia." "I shall always blame myself!" sighed Cornelia. "Oh, how pale you are!" "And how pale you are, Cornelia!" sighed Orville. "Did you really care when you thought I was dead?" "Ladies," said Grandma Kashieigh, "now that Orville has had his wine and biscuit, and is getting on, let us go into the other room, and leaves these two young folk3 to talk tilings over to gether." She led the way; the others followed. When the tea-bell rang soon after, Or ville and Cornelia came out of the draw ing room, arm in arm, and the wedding day was fixed. An Impend'ng Crisis. A colored man having applied for a situation in k family in Cass avenue, and given the name of an old colored man in in the market aa reference, the gentle man drove down there, to see what he could learn. "Yes, sah, I know de party yon men shun," replied old Zeke, as the subject was broached. "Is he honest?" "Under certain circumstances - he would be, sah." "Is he reliable?" "Well, sah. I 'specks he am." "Is he truthful?" "Y-e-s, I think so." "But, Uncle Zeke, you don't seem to speak up very promptly. Is there any thing wrong'with him?" "Lemme ax you a few queshuns," re plied, the old man. "Do you keep eberything aroun' de ba'n picked up and locked up?" "Yes." "Den take him." "But about his being reliable?" "Oh.he'll be dar at meal time an'doan you forgit it." "And his truthfulness?" "See hyar!" exclaimed Uncle Zeke, as he whirled around,- "you am gwyne too fur. When a man 'specks he am gwyne to git a cull'd man who kin work for S8 a month an' stan' wid one fut onside de gates of Heaven all de time, it's too thick! You go pinnin' dat mau right down to bedrock and cine chances outer ten he'll elope wid your wife befo he has been dar six weeks !" Detroit Free Press. . - . When an English visitor to Rome asked Garibaldi what religion he pro fessed, the general replied: "The re ligion of humanity -the religion Christ taught by precept and example." The Swan's Party. Aswan once wished to give a party.and everything was arranged for it; but his servant, the frog, made a mistake in the invitations, and when the swan was smimming about near the shore of the pond watching for his guests, to his sur- frise there came the cuckoo, the Bwal ow the nightingale, the sparrow, and the duck. He had expeeted the duck; but what could he do with the other guests, who were not used to the water? The duck waddled on, plumped into the water and whispered to the swan: "What kind of guests .have you invited, god father ? What can they do in the water?" "That is just what I should like to know," answered the swan. "My ser vant, the frog has played me a stupid trick. It cannot be helped now, so we must be merry on the land. The gentle men and ladies would all we drowned here." So 'hey both went ashore and bade the guests welcome, and the frog was imme diately sent off to find worms and beetles so that the strange company might at least have meat. . It was very unpleasant lor the swan andduck,and it was very warm, so they went to a cool place. At first the other guests, the cuckoo, the swallow, the nightingale, the robin and the sparrow walked quietly with them, but they Boon fell into their accustomed ways; they hopped and fluttered first, then rflew in all directions. "Where are they all, cuckoo, sparrow, nightingale and swallow?" said the swan, impatiently. The cuckoo, who beard his name called, flew down, and said, proudly: "Here 1 am, what do you want "Oh!" answered the swan, "I only wanted to know what had become of my dear guests. "That I can have the honor of telling you, said the cuckoo. '1 nave seen them all. Mr. Sparrow is sitting on a bouen yonder with bis bill wide ooen while Miss Nightingale sings beautifully on the mrch tree. Airs, swallow is flying over the brook and playing with the little flies, one of which she swallows now and then by mistake. Madam Kobin is hopping about under all the busnes so I do not know where she is just no7 but 1 will soon see. Thereupon the cuckoo flew away, and the swan and duck looked at each other sorrowfully. "What will come of this?" asked the duck. - "I will tell you," said the swan, and jumped into the water. "Our company has left us in the lurch; new we will do the same by them. " And then he raised his slender neck in the air and swam proudly around in the water. The good duck followed his friend, who led the way into a mass o: rushes where they ate their supper very pleasantly. Woman s Journal. A Brooklyn Heroine. Miss Tillie Trimble, who lives with her parents st 92 Fourth place, became known as a heroine in that part of Brook lyn yesterday. On Monday afternoon she caught a burglar in the house. Af ter giving an alarm she grabbed him around the neck and held hint, with the assistance of her mother, till a police man arrived, juiss xrimoie is a very prepossessing young lady, nineteen years old. She has regular features fine complexion and teeth, dark eyes and a trim figure, but not a girl whom an acquaintance would think could be de pended on to capture the burglar "Now, tell me all about it, Tillie," re marked her mother, when the reporter called last evening. Her father puffed pipe, but all the time looked proudly at nis daughter. It was about l:d(J in the afternoon," began Miss Tillie, "when mother and I heard a noise up stairs It sounded like something dropping on the floor. I first thought that one of my brothers had come home. I went ub to find out, and entered the bedroom bac oi tne parlor, mere is a nan room which is entered from the bedroom. The door to it was open, and as I peeped in saw a man fumbling at the bureau draw ers. He must have heard me, for he turned suddenly around and made a leap for me. I gave a jump towards the door and he ran after me. His big foot came down on my right foot and hurt it badly He stumbled against the foot of the bed and I succeeded in reaching the hall way I fell down the stairs and he rushed after me. I reached the street and yelled, 'thief, robber !' and- ran back into the house. I met him coming out and put my arms around his neck." " is tnat tne nrst man you ever hugged?" asked the father. Her two big brothers giggled, but she paid no at tention. "In a moment," she continued "mother had him by the collar, and he tried to break away, but we held on, and ne dragged us into the 'front courtyard. He asked me what I would take to settle it and let him go, and I said that nothing but a policeman would settle him with me. Several men came to our rescue, and finally Officer Cassidy arrived and took charge of him. There were $60 in money and several gold watches in. one of the bnreau drawers that he tried to rob."

New York City, A Orndnale of the w Vnrk Winnl of Medl elite, lo of the lluhllu lnel lee. A word to the public Consultation free. I Invite the sick, no matter what tin ir diseases may be, to call and investigate for themselves In-fore aban doning all hopes, for it will cost yon nothinif. I (Jive no encouragement unless there is a fair prospect of making a cure. I will endeavor to be candid in my opinion and reasonable in my chnrffes. I claim not to cure everybody, but to cure all that can be cured. I have had twenty years' successful practice in the treatment of bot h acute and chronic diseases, I have located iu Portland, and all I ask is tn:rt you give me a fair, unbiased t.-ial, by which 1 hope to merit your con fldenee, and Klve entire satisfac-.iou to all suffering Immunity. My repntation has been acquired by being candid with my laitients, through ears of successful piactiee, both in Knrope. and in this country, and studiously keeping up with the atre. I know the cause and remedy needed, not by guesswork, but by years of ex perieuce. In my treatment of many diseases I make use of a new method of cure. The treatment is simple and the most feasible of ail. There is no unpleasant sensation whatever uttemlhur the treatment. 1 Invite all persons afllicled to visit and freely convince themselves, leav iue me to verify the a-sertion that there has never existed a remedy so startling and itnmediate in its effects. 1 hese noted curative auls, as handled In my practice, are endur eri and approved by the faculties of both Europe and America. The beneficial effects are perceptible almost from the start. Cuses regarded incurable, and of yeare standuiK. yieldt o its mild but wonderful influence. And in no case can the treat, nietit be attended wth the least daiitfer, thereby tes tif, ins it to he the most harmless fis-nt in thempen-tii-s. Those who wish to apply for advice oi treatment may confidently do so without hesitation or diffidence, as the most timid mny rely ou thai inviolable secrecy whi'-h has already proved the basis of tut extensive professional reputation a broad. Cases can be treated by coriespendence when a per sonal interview is impossible, providing the patients will minutely detail all of their bodily infirmaties and mental disturbances written in a simple r.wX natural style, and in accordance with the necessary details of their own feelings. One personal interview, however, even with patients residing at a distance Is highly de sirable when practicable, and will more than repay the patient the expense and trouble of a trip to Port laud. The advantage of even a visit are apoarefii and manifold. A single visit in most cases will enable tlie doctor to form an accurate opinion and note part irulars which mieht be lost sight of in mere correspondence, particularly when a microscopic and ehenacal analy sis is absolutely necessary. 1'atierts not resid ing in the city who wish to transact their business through the mails or by express can ha' e the neces sary remedies cent to any .address t.rh ftat any rail way station or coach ollice in Oregon or Washington Territory tin' il called for. carefully packed and se curely sealed.
