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.

given the name of an old colored man in

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

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." "Eastern paper.

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. Office and Residence, First street,
