r WE ARE NOT MISSED.
" If vou or I '
To-day should die,
The birds would ainir the eame lo-morrow,
The vernal Spring
Her flowers would bring, .. . f .-...
And few would think of us with sorrow.
; Yes, he is dead,
. -. Would then be said;
The corn would floss, the grass yield hay, .
The cattle low, .
And Summer go,
And few would heed us pass away.
How soon we pass!
How few, alasl
Remember those who turn to mould;
" Whose faces fade
With Autumn's shade
Beneath the sodden churchyard cold!
Yes, it is so
We come and go!
They hail our mirth, they, mourn us dead;
A da or more,
The Winter o'er, "
Another takes our place instead.
LOTS AJIJ1 BUSINESS.
In the ccfay' little private office apper
taining to their business houses at Halli
day and eon. Halliday was a blnff, heavy
old fellow of 50 or thereabouts, with a
pair of keen, bright eyes, which twinkled
incessantly; and was seated in his chair
with heels upon his desk. Son was a
young man of 25, tall, dark, and hand
some, clad in a suit of navy blue flannel,
and was seated on a corner of the desk
looking down upon bis father-
"Who is the object of your all-devouring
passion, eh.wick, my boy? the old
gentleman asked, "Some chit of a school
girl?" .'.
"Her name is Wilkins," replied the
young man. "tine is a widow a double
widow I will say for she has been married
twice, and is come don't let your chin
drop to such an alarming extent, for out
side of all she is worth $50,000, although
that, in my case, is a feather's weight in
the scales. She is actually 36, but looks
tea years younger, and is as pretty as a
picture. She has one child, a daughter,
who - is at school at Paris, but as she is
heiress to a cool $100,000, she is not an
incumbrance by any means.
"Dick Halliday, you re

"Not quite as bad as that.
"I say sir she's almost old enough to
be vour mother! Have you committed
yoursel has she has ensnared you?
"Don t you remember our old agree
ment, father, that when I thought of
marrying I would consult with you be
fore takinc: the step? I will therefore in
troduce you to Mrs. Wilkins, let you
study her character, and then abide by
vour decision : for I have no doubt as to
what it will be."
"Ah!" said the old gentleman, "that's
better.- That's decidedly better. You
may introduce me, luck, and 1 promise
von my unbiasing opiniou of the be
witching creature."
"All right. When will you go?
"To-night, to morrow, any time you
please: but see here, Dick, to change the
subject, how about this London business?
It s going to ruin
"Well, suppose we will have to send a
man to look after it.
"Send!" cried the old man, "that
won't do at all; one or the other of us
must fro. We're trusted . entirelv too
much of late, and home interests are al
most as bad as our foreign. Now, Dick,
I'll tell you what I'll do. If you will go
to London and straighten things up, I'll
give yon my answer concerning your
flame the moment you return. I ve
been over so often that the very thouglTt
pf going makes me sick. Come, what do
you sav, Dick?
"If you- desire it, father, I'll go, cer
tainly."
"Then that's settled. Where are you
off to now?"
"I was going to the Astor, but I'll wait
until evening and then you can accom
pany me."
"All right, Dick, all right; only don't
commit yourself. Beware of widows,
you know.
That evening Halliday and son re
paired to the Astor house and were con
ducted to one of the private parlors. In
a few minutes Mrs. Wilkins entered, and
it .was plain to be seen that the old gen
tleman was amazed. He did not wonder
at his son's infatuation, and afterward
acknowledged her to bs the most beauti
ful woman he had ever seen. When a
length they took their departure after
spending a delightful evening, the son
said:
"What do you say, father?"
"liive me time, my boy, rnve me
" time," was the reply. " "
" The next day but one Dick started for
London. ; The weather was fair,the pas
sage a prosperous one, and he reached
his destination safe and sound. He
found- the business in a terrible state,
and had his hands and mind fully occu
pied and a week slipped by. One morn
ing he received a letter from his father.a
portion of whioh ran as follows:
"Concerning the widow, I am well
pleased with your choice. She is a
good woman as good -as beautiful. A
trifle too old for you is my only objec
tion." I
Another week went by and another let
ter came, in which, speaking of the widow
the old man said:
"I am astonished at your extraordinary
good judgment in such a matter. The
more I see the lady the better I am
pleased. She is a most excellent lady in
every respect. A trifle too old for you is
my only objection."
"Good!" said Dick to himself. "I guess
I will stay a week on my own account,
now that the business is cleared up, and
do London. The old gentleman seems
to be well pleased, and guess by the
time I get home his only objection will
have been overcome. Not that I care a
stiaw for his opinion one way or the
the other, but peace is preferable to war
at anytime."
; And taking a picture of the widow
from his pocket, he embraced it most af
fectionately. So Dick remained another week, and
did London thoroughly. On the day be
fore he was to have sailed fjr home he
reoeived another letter from his father,
saying:
"My Dear Boy : I never was more
pleased with a woman in all my life. She
is an angel. I don't wonder at your lov
ing her. ''She is pure, honest, everything
you imagine her to be, but she can never
marry you. It is impossible. I don't like
to be severe; but it can never be. The
truth is, Dick, she has become my wife.
Don't be - a fool now, but come home
at once. A trifle, too old was my only
objection. "".
" Your affectionate father, -
4 : "KlCHABD HALIiIDAT."
To say that Dick was enraged would
but faintly describe his feelings; he fairly
boiled. He wrote immediately to his
father, telling him: "
"In the future vour foreign l usiness
m ty go to the d 1, and your home in
rests, too." '- . ", - , ,
Then, " after ".. drawing a good sum of
tsx ney, he started for the continent. -
For two years he wandered from place
to place and at the end of that time he
found himself in Paris. Here he fortu
tunatelyf ell in with an acquaintance he
had made while m London, and who had
since married and was then doing busi
ness in Paris. I
At his friend's house one evening, he
was introduced to an Amrican young
lady, of whom he became enamored at
first sight.
The young lady, Miss Julia Kentridge
bv name, was to etart for Jew lork m a
few days, and on hearing this, Dick en

age was a pleasant one, and Deiore tney
arrived at Sandy Hook1, Miss Julia had
promised that, with her mother s consent
she would become Dick's wife. When
they reached the city she found a carriage
in waitiner for her. ana .dick Having ae
termined not to enter his father s house,
for the uresent at least, was directed to
an obscure hotel. j - -
The next day he mounted the steps o
the Maiison avenue mansion and rang
the bell. A servant ushered him into
the parlor, and shortly afterward entered
Miss Kentridge.
When they had greeted each other af
ter the usual manner of lovers, Julia
said
"If yon will excuse me for a moment,
Richard. I will go and inform my mother
that von have come.
Dick was seated under a window, loot
ing out. and did not notioe her return
till she said: V j
"Mr. HallidaVi allow me to
Dick had turned at the sound of her
voice, ready to appear at his best, but he
staggered back fairly thunderstruck, for
there be Hind nim stooa tne late wiaow
his father's wife. '
"I reallv " he gasped. "I that is, I
did not " r
"Of course you did not, said the lady,
helping him out. "How could you?
But here is vour father.

the old gentleman, rushing in. "How

Thev suook nanus coraiauy, anu tne
old man said:.
'Dick, mv lad. vou re trapped you re
ensnared. My wife and I were m Paris
to bring Julia home, and when she told
us of her meeting with; you, we just put
our heads together to make a match of
it. We came over with you on the same
steamer.
"Reallv. though," said Dick; address
ing his step-mother, "when I heard you
speak of your daughter being at school,
I imagined her to be a little girl, not a
young lady!"' i
"Oh nol l wad married to Air. iven-

"I've no objection this time, lad, none
at all. A trifle too old was my obieotion
before, vou know, ha! ha! and he went
off in a fit of laughter that nearly choked
him. , : '
After dinner the old gentleman said:
"Well. Dick, our foreign business is
going to thebad, sure enough, and I
think the best thing -you can do is to
marry at once and take your bride abroad
and look after it. I did not sell the old
house when I bonght this one, and upon
your return I will have it ready for you
to occupy.
And thus it was arranged.
The house of Halliday & Son still
flourishes, and the children, grand
children, and what not bearing that
name, for the relationship is rather
mixed, are numerous.
Beecher on Punishment.
Taking up of Scriptural; ideas, Mr.
Beecher said God created a pair and put
them into the Garden of Eden. He told
them not to eat the apple. f They did,
and for that they were condemned. If
they had been your children, said Mr.
Beecher, looking over his audienoe, you
would have spanked them and put them
to bed. According to tneological dog
mas God said he would make many out
of their loins. He told them He would
make their descendants bad. Great
heavens! said Mr. Beecher, they were
bad enough without making them any
worse. The idea that succeeding gen
erations were to be stained through be
cause their ancestors j ate an apple be
cause of crime they never committed and
never thought of Mr.Beecher ridiculed.
For 10,000 years races had been dropping
like beans into the bottom of hell for
this cause. The speaker would not love
a Being who could ordain such a thing
as that. If this was j the God he was
called upon to wore hip he would 're
nounce him. He revolted at such a con
ception, made up by had theology. But
science dispelled the j illusion and the
awakening was to see the fresh morning
dew. . j
Mr. Beecher said to his hearers that
they did not believe' in hell and the men
who preached it did not. They thought
they did, but they did not. Could any
man believe in it and live in peace? The
speaker related-scenes at the fire in
Brooklyn yesterdays He spoke of the
fear that human beings might perish in
the flames and his desire to do something
to save lives that might be endangered.
Could he dance to the festive lute and
see them in torment?: Could a man look
out on his fellow beings and believe they
were doomed to fire forever and yet live?
No. It was not so. - it was not taught
whether consequences followed in the
other life. Mr. Beecher believed they
did. An infernal old bottomless pit was
taught. There might he a state of evo
lution in the future life. Those who had
not reached a state of perfection would
go through a process to make them what
they ought to be. j If there was pot a
moral germ in the man Mr. Beecher
did not believe he existed after the body
died. ; " ' -- .
A Troublesome Pauper.
There has just died in the Wolver
hampton workhouse, in England, a man
who, for the whole of his lifetime! ex
tending over thirty-seven years, has been
a source of trouble to the union officials
in the district and the central authorities
in London. Picked up originally by the
roadside when an infant a few days old,
Lis parents unknown, he was christened
by a guardian under the name of Bythe
way. He grew up in the workhouse
until old enough to ; be sent out as an
apprentice. During the next seven years
he tired out the patience of his j master,
as he had tired out the patience of the
officials of the union, and when his ap
prenticeship expired he came back to the
workhouse as to his own home. Thus he
remained up to the ) time of his death,
either an indoor or outdoor pauper. He
wrote so many letters to the Local Gov
ernment Board, complaining of almost
every official connected with the house,
that the central authority at length or
dered an inquiryjnto his mental state.
This inquiry, however, did not establish
lunacy, and Bytheway remained about'
Wolverhampton, and continued in his
proceedings, appearing from time to
time with real or imaginary grievances
before the magistrates or County Court
Judges. He was baptized in the Church
of England, and, after professing varions
religious creeds during life, he ended his
checkered career by dying in the lioman
Catholic faith.
lha Blizzard.
I came out to Minnesota three years
ago last summer, bought a quarter sec
tion, sent to St. Paul for lumber and
worked all summer putting up a house
and barn. In the fall I bought three
horses and a sulky plough and began
"turning up the black prairie soil. - Be
fore the ground froze 1 bad about thirty
acres ready to sow with wheat in the
snnnj?. Then I Wont East to see Mabel.
and, after the holida;s,brought her back
with me. Bv the middle of January we
had got the furniture put to rights and
were settled down to enjoy married life.
A few things were wanted for the house,
however, and one bright, sunshiny morn
ing I hitched two of the horses to a bob
sleigh, and Mabel and 1 drove to tne vil
lage, due north from my house six
miles. A pleasanter morning l never

excellent sleighing, and the air was
warm and balmy. It seejaed as if spring J
was near at nana, oni a worse aeiusion
a worse
never existed.
The village haa but one street, being
merely a row of twenty or thirty wooden
buildings parallel to ana aDont ten roas
from the railroad track. They are
mamlv used for stores, and when we
drove up there were three or four bob"
sleds or pungs in front ot eacn store.
Half the farming community of the town
ship appeared to be shopping. About
one o'clock, while we were in a dry
goods store the f: merchant; who
had Stepped out a moment before, said
to us: "I don't like to drive away my
customers, but a blizzard is coming from
the west, and it is coming fast. The
telegraph announces that it has reached
Morris. That is forty miles from here.
but it is coming at the rate of forty miles
per hour, so vou have got no time to
spare if vou are going home to-day.
He rolled up our ; purchases as he
spoke, and appeared in a hurry to get
rid of us. When we got outside the
store the first thing that attracted my
attention was the fact that of all the
teams m the street when we arrived, not
one excepting mine remained. Every-
body had scudded for home.
jiiven tnen
I did not hurry. The sun was still shin
ing brightly, with not the faintest sug
gestion of a storm apparent anywhere
TipfnrA we had got a mile from town I
had forgotten all about the coming storm, I
and the horses were oggmg at their
will. '
We were still two miles ' from f home
when suddenly the sun was obscured,
and the air grew cold and chill in a mo
ment. A darkness as. of smoke swept
over everything. 1 Then I remembered
wny we were going nome ana x gave
the horses the whip in earnest, lashing
them into a run. Away off to the .west
there appeared to.be a leaden wall com
ing toward us. There was a hum in the
air. A light breeze sprang up, grew
stronger, and in one minute became a
gale. The wall came down with railroad
speed, the roar of its approach every in
stant growing louder. From the top of
a roll in the prairie we could see our
house, and it came pretty near being our
last glimpse of it. No words will ever
convey an intelligent idea of a blizzard
of the frightful roar with which it
rolls down upon you, the howling and
hissing of the wind. If you try to speak
the wind dashes the syllables from your
lips so quickly . that you do not hear
vour own words. - In thirty seconds
from the time the first snowflake fell I
could not see my horses. The atmos
phere appeared to be all snow, and
every flake of it was in a hurry to get
somewhere before the rest could get
there. I use the word flake, but that is
wrong. No flake could be distinguished
The whole atmosphere was filled with
one big flake that hemmed us in on all
seids. Although Mabel's head wasn't
over a foot from mine, I could see her
features, and not conld only dimly see her
form. I tried to peer downward beside
the sleigh and see the track, but I might
as well have tried to see the earth be
neath a snowbank. I could feel a mo
tion to the sleigh, so I knew the sleigh
was moving. The cod was intense. I
tried to ask my wife if 6he was suffering,
but 1 could not near my own words
During the two or three minutes that
intervened between the time that I
saw the storm approaching
ana me moment it strucK us
the horses had run at the top of their
speed, so we were not much over a mile
from home. It did not seem possible
for the horses to keep the track. No
one could live an hour in that storm.
The only hope lay in the horses being
aoie to Keep to a track that was being
buried deeper and deeper every instant.
It isn't pleasant to sit still and freeze to
death. In ten minutes I was chilled
through, and I felt I was freezing. The
horses were still movin?J and. akhnnch
I could not Isee them, I lashed them with
the whip. It seemed hours since the
storm had shut us in, and I was just be
coming convinced that the horses had
got out of the path and that we were lost
on the prairie, when there came a sud-
aen mu in tne nerce wind. The air was
still full of whirling snow, but I could
see objects about me, and it didn't take
long for me to ascertain that we were in
the barn and were safe. I , had left the
barn doors open in the morning, and the
horses had found their way back; I think
by instinct, hut my neighbors think it
was sheer accident, and declare that it
wouldn t happen again in a thou
sand ' years. Although we had
reached the barn, we. were not in the
hoase yet. From the barn to the house
is about twenty yards, but as far as see
ing was ; concerned, the house might as
well have been in the moon. The -little
woman helped me unharness the horses
and put them in their stalls. Then I
told her to remain where she was, and I
made a break for the house. It is diffi
cult for any one to believe that in a blind
ing storm he cannot go twenty yards in
a line sufficiently straight to find a house,
but try it sometime! Do you see that
pump? I stumbled over it. It is twenty
feet to the right of the path from the
barn to the house. If it hadn't a-been
for that pump I would never again have
found either the house or the barn. I
knew that the handle of that pump
pointed directly toward the house, and
that it was not over ten yards away. I
raised the handle and felt for my bear
ings. I let go of the pump-handle and
f PLUNGED TOWARD THE HOUSE.
When I tell you that I ran smack
against it you will understand that see
ing was out of the question. After I got
into the house I took a ball of twine and
tied one end to the door knob, and suc
ceeded in getting back to the barn, and
by following the string, we reached the
house again. For three days and nights
thereafter neither of us even opened the
outer door. When the storm ceased we
could not see the barn, for the snow had
piled in between the house and barn so
deep that it covered the. windows on that
(side of the house. On the east aide of
the house, however, there was very little
Lsnow. The shovel happened to be in
the house, and the little woman and I
succeeded in tunneling through the barn,
but we had to carry every shovelful of
the snow taken out of thetuaael through
the house and throw it out on the east
side.
"Were the horses all right when you
cot to'tbem?"
"You can safely bet they were glad to
see me. Tney were about half buried in
the snow, and had even eaten the bed
ding from their stalls. It took me near
ly all the rest of tne winter to shovel the
snow out of the barn.
Do seoDle ont in the urairies ever
gel lost in these storms?
"To be caught out on the prairie by a
blizzard means death and nothing can
avert it. After a settler has been here
one winter, it's a sly old blizzard that
catches him. Not so 'the new-comers.
They cannot imagine that there is dan
ger at all; times. Three .people were
lost tuat day in this vicinity, one of them
a woman who had been over ' across the
prairie about a mile to see a sick neigh
bor. When she saw that a storm was
imminent she started' for home on foot.
She never got half way there.
"Whea was her body found?"
"In the spring, when the
snow
melted." .
Errors of Kliqaette.
The Cincinnati Saturday Night has the
following:
The lady who tries to keen pace with
the fashions must needs be extremely
careful as to every particular in her cos
tuming, as to cut and quality of each
garment,' and as to when, how and where
to wear them. '
There are ten thousand laws as inexor
able as those of the Medes and Persians.
of which fashion demands observance
concerning the most minute and trifling

woman.
details that go
of the fashionable
For example, a late member of a well-
known fashionable journal says: "Annie
of Austria collarettes : are suitable only
for matinee jackets. Turkish fez caps
are worn only as breakfast caps.
Apropos of these edicts of fashion, an
incident:
Seated near ' a couple of ladies at the
Grand the other night, we overheard a
portion of their conversation,
Said one: "You notice that I have an
Annie of Austria collarettee,"
"Yes," responded the other, "what
could you have been thinking about, my
dear? You know they are only worn nt
matinees.
"Of course I do, and I felt so morti
fied. I don't see how I came to make
such an awful blunder. What in the
world will people think? But I am al
ways doing something dreadful; the
other day I went down to dinner with
my fe cap on. Just think of it, wearing
a breakfast cap to dinner! Did you
ever hear anything so ridiculous in your
liter '
And the other lady rowed that she
never had.
A brutal fellow next to us had been
listaning to the conversation, turned to
us, and m a voice distinctly audible to
the ladies, said:
"Uueer wnat funny mistakes a man
will make about his toilet. You wouldn't
believe it now, but it's a fact that I've

V Whalebone.
The principal application of whale
bone now is that in making whips and
corsets. Steel has mostly displaced
whalebone in umbrellas and parasols.
Some years ago umbrella ribs were made
in France of an excellent imitation of
whalebone (not distinguishable, indeed.
till fractured) ; but it is no longer heard
of. Genuine whalebone is often made
white and used with garments of muslin
or the like, not being seen through these
so easily as the dark sort. The newest
application of whalebone is that to hats;
r. x i r . i ' ,
it is cut into nne strips ana interlaced
with straw. Such hats are very dear.
Another novelty is "whalebone ribbon.
For this white whalebone is generally
used, and the shaving is so thin that
ordinary . print can be read through
it. It is often colored blue, red or green.
and used by saddlers in making rosettes.
Walking sticks of whalebone are also in
good emand. The exceptionally thick
strips ant for this purpose are rounded
by beinjlrawn through holes in a steel
plate. BiHard pads of whalebone must
be very smooth and cut of a certain ex
act thickness. Fishing rods are made Of
two carefully worked strips of whalebone
with thiok silk thread wound round
them. Penholders and other small arti
cles are made of whalebone at the lathe.
The hair cut off the raw whalebone was
formerly used for brushes, but it is now
mostly repaced by other materials. It is
largely crisped and used as a filling for
mattresses. This list by no means ex
hausts the uses of whalebone, which is
continually being applied in new ways.

troubled with t o trequent evacuations of toe bladder,
often accom pa- ted by a slUtit smurting or bnrning
sensation and a weakening of the system in a manner
the patimt cannot accouut for. On examining the
urinary deiwsits a ropy se llment will often be found,
and sometimes small particifsof album.-r will appear,
or the color will be f a thin milkish hue. Again
changing to a dark and torpid appearance. There are
many men wb.o die of this difficulty, ignorant of the,
cause, which is the second stage of SenUnal Weak news.
