WHAT IS WANTED. Not long prayers, but Anient teal, Tills is what is wnnted more: To put the shoulder to thoVhccl, And bread unto tlio hungry deal From tho store. Not high-sounding notes of prai?o Ringing through tho vnuHod dome, But that wo tho fallen raise, Bring tho poor from life's highways To tho home. Worship God by doing good; Help the suffering in their needs. Ho who loves God ns ho should Makes his heart's lovo understood By his deeds. TEN TEAKS LATER. "So ho has coinongnin!" And protty Ncttio Dovcrcaux trcm bled from hand to foot as slio glanced at his card. "Tell him," sho said to tho servant. "that I will ho down in ton minutes for," said Nettie to herself, "I cannot go down like this I must calm myself down to ordinary coolness." Woman-like, sho first went to tho mirror, and, in suite of her agitation noticed that sho looked unusually well Then, with her hands clasped tightly beforo her, paced rapidly up and down tho room a number ol tunes JNcttiowas by no means a vain woman, although sho was a remark ably pretty one, and tho half-anxious glance sho had givon her rellection in tho mirror was rather of inquiry than vanity. It was ten years, at least, since sho had mot tho gentleman now awaiting ncr below, aim at that timo ho was her accepted lover; so Nettie, with al a woman's consciousness that beauty carries its weight, had iirst of all asked herself tho very femnnno but natura question: "Will ho think mo changed?" Tho mirror told her, as ho did, ten minutes later, that sho had not. So there was but ono thing to bo done, and that was to still tho tumultuous beating of her foolish littlo heart, and go down. Poor, protty Nottio! Sho loved him still, although sho had not seen him mall theso years, and ho, as well as herself, had married another! Self-control, over ono of hor charnc tcristics, soon canio back, and in less than tho prescribed ton minutes her fnco was steadily sot into an oxpres sion of friendship, and sho was do Bconding tho stairs. Hut, alas for human efforts and hu man resolves, they often melt away boioro other instincts moro deeply hu manl And tho pleasant greeting rest ing so firmly on her lips, and tho modi fied phraso so carefully plannouonhis, vanished into thin air when they met. "ixarryi" "Nottio!" And tho two, so long parted, gazed with happy freedom into each other's eyo. A hundred questions thoy asked and answered. Tho dead, tho married and gono wore all talked over, and old Bcones and old occurrences recalled. Then a thought enmo to Nottio, bear ing with it a sickening dread, a miser able, crushed feeling nbout hor heart. I Harry was, after all, not tho Harry of old, though, heaven help her! sho loved lii m as tenderly as over. Tho question on his part "Nottio, will you now tell mo about yoursoli"" had awakened her from the delicious flroam. As in tho darting light of a single flash of lightning lnnumorablo objectB can bo clearly discerned, so in that ono painful instant tho hopeless ness, tho unfathomable dopth, tho very linfulnoss of his lovo camo beforo hor. Tho sight of his dear faco had chased away overyotherfcoling.butsho could, sho would, crush it now, nov and for over. Her faco grow a shado palor, and tho curves of hor delieato mouth grow ftorn, as she answered tho man who lad been tho ono lovo of hor life, and who sho know had seen that sho loved him still. "You nsk mo, Harry," said sho, "to toll you nbout myself. Shall I bogin ffhoro wo left off ton years ago!" 1 "XI you win," ho answered, in a troubled voice, avoiding hor oyo. "I will bo brief, then," nho roplicd, but a touch of passion trembled on ho would-bo tones of ice. "You re member tho night wo parted, ton years ngo last July yes? Then, of courso, you romomber tho rest how you sajjl unkind words to mo and that stung mo to tho quick. 1 bndo you go, and lorovor, 1 know not what olso to say, or how else to punish you. Hut you, taking mo at my word went, and, oh, llnrry, never returned! When I said what I did that night, my hoart was breaking, and when I saw your mar riage two months later in tho papers it laid mo at death's door. For many, many weoks my life hung on a thread, find never since havo I for a singlo day been my old self again.". "Nottio, Nettie," ho interrupted, "you know I tried several times to see you and to explain, but I always miss ed you." "Yes; I know, and avoided you. How could you explain or I listen, and you married to another woman?" "But you, too, married, and wcro happy, were you not?" "Imarried what elso could I do? I was unhappy at home you worso than dead to mo. Hut I was never Imppy. Arthur Dovereaux loved mo dearly, but your imago was ovor bo forome, haunting my thoughts by day and my dreams by night, Happyl" bho continued, bitterly, "happy when I broke my husband s heart!' for, I talked of you in my sleep, and so ho got to know my secret, and, as I tell you, it broke his heart it killed him!" "I did not know it," sho continued, "until ho was on his death-bed. Thon ho told mo how I used to cry in my sleep mid call him Harry. Ah! 1 would luivo called him hack to lifo then, and loved him, too, if it could have been, but it was too late!" And the tours chased each other down her ohcoks as sho spoke. "Hut," continued sho, "however much I may havo wronged him by thus loving you. i havo been moro than Cinished for the crime. Tho ample rtune be left me was swept awny, and I. tho nroud Nettio. am onlv a governess, glad of tho paltry salary to maintain his child and mine. And now you havo all that I can tell you; except, perhaps, that your coming to night has made mo moro wrotched than I havo ever been beforo. Har ry! Harry! why did you come?" "Nottio, darling, I havo como to ask you to forget and forgive." And Henry Kainscroft held out his arms. Indignant and hurt, she turned, with out a word, to leavo tho room, but, quickly catching and retaining her hand, ho murmured sadly: "Nettie, if you could only know how I, too, havo suffered how I was inveigled into that wrotched marriage you would never turn from mo liko that." "I havono doubt youhavosuflered," sho returned; and that your married lifo is an unhappy ono; butsolong as it exists you must bear it alone; andj Harry," sho added, wildly, "never-) nover seek mo ngain." "Why, do you not know? did yoij not hear?" and ho looked rather strangj Jy I "Hear what, Harry?" a faint dawnj ing light creeping over her faco. "That sho. mv wife, died in a mad' houso moro than a year ago.

' Opium and ganja aro tho two nar cotics best known in tho East. In thj West, fortunately, wo havo but littln experience ofcithcr. Thoformersteaty away, albeit with consummato fascin? ation, a man's intellectual energies and in consequence, therefore his phy sical energies, too. Tho latter make.) a mad, wild beast of him, works him up suddenly into a frenzy of nialigan ) purpose, reckless of his own lifo or the ifo of others. Tho Indian Govern ment, thorcforo, draws a wide dis tinction between tho two. Without nctually encouraging, ns it has been accused of doing, tho consumption ol tho poppy juieo in tho empire, it is con tontnto restrict its uso by limitations on tho salo. In tho casoofennia. how ever, it has positively forbidden tho drug, and the salo or purchnso of it is penal by law. Nor is this distinction without somo justification. Tho opium cator is an innocuous and harmless person. Ho injures no ono but him self; ho sins, porhaps, by omission, but not by commission. Tho ganja eater, on tho other hand, is invariably a law breaker. Ho becomes at onco a crimi nal. Tho villianous decoction seems to havo tho strange power of bringing to tho surfneo all that is bad in its most violent forms. Of such men murderors and assassins aro mado. In the Ghazi villages it ganja" or "bang," as tho different U'oparations of hemp aro called, which is used for tho stimulation of tho fa natics who aro then sent out into tho world to "run-a-muek" and to kill and to bo killed "for tho faith." "Has- leesh" is another product of thosamo orrifio plant, and is itsolf tho root of tho word "assassin."

"Look heah," said tho largo broth er, drawing himself up, is dis all de! baptizin whut I 'so gwino tor git?" "Ain't dis ornull?" tho preacheij asked. "No, it ain't." "Why so, sali?"

MYSTERIOUS INFLUENCES. Dreamland Premonitions Which D Not Comn to Vai Are Forgotten. "Jjm going to tell you something that's true," said a Brooklyn man the other day to a New York Sun repor tor. "You can believe it or not, but it's true. I havo h, cousin who went to Europe for her health last year, Whilo in Franco she died. Comparing timo between Franco and America, it must havo been within an hour of her death that her mother, who was knit ting in the sitting-room at homo laid her knitting-work in her lap and look- . i 1 1 i r j .i eu up wicn a sort oi bwiiuiuu oxpres sion. 'Why! Alico is dead!' sho said Next day wo got a dispatch by cable Baying sho was dead." "Thero was," said another member of tho party, "a curious illustration of mmd-reading, or spiritual telegraphy, or whatover you like to call it, during tho war. ion remember that thobat tlo of Gettysburg was settled on tlio 3d of July, thougli Leo lay on his arms expecting another attack on tho 4 th, and began his retreat that night. Tho Burrcndcr of Vicksburg occurred on tho 4th. Gettysburg and Vicksburg aro 800 miles apart, or perhaps more, and no telegraxih messago had been re ceived at Gettysburg announcing the surrender of Vicksburg at least, if thero had been, it could hardly havo reached headquarters before sundown on tho 4th. Tho 12th corps had been drawn up in lino on tho afternoon of tho 4th with a view to changing posi tion, and was standing at 'in place, rest,' when ono of tho soldiers ex claimed: 'Vicksburg'stakcn!"ThoIword passed down tho line, and a cheer broke from tho troops. That news and tho certainty that Leo had sustained a sovero defeat put now lifo into them. Hut when an attempt was mado to traco tho news to ollicial sources it couldn't bo done. That soldier 'felt it in his bones,' and had spoken right out. Next dav dispatches arrived that proved that thosoldiorhad spokontho truth." "Yes, those things aro unaccounta ble," said a third speaker. "Tho in tuitions, or whatover they are, needn't bo so very important, either. I ro mcmbor that my father was sitting in his library ono afternoon, when ho took out his watch looked at it, and Baid: "E will bo hero in ten min utes. E was his brother-in-law, who lived in a neighboring town, and thougli he called frequently ho was not expected that day. After ho had spoken, my father seemed rather sur prised at himself, and laughed n lit tlo awkwardly. My mother asked how hoknow tliatE would bo there, and ho said ho didn't know, ho had Bpoken on tho impulso of tho moment. Suro enough, in ten minutes tho bell rang. E was at tho door. Ho had only como to dinner, and his visit was not important; but ho had somehow, projected his personality ahead of him." Said a fourth: "Thero really is such ' a thing as seeing beyond tho limit of human vision. I'll tell you a littlo sircumstanco that I can swear to, nnd then let's talk about something elso. When I was 10 years old I had no moro idea of going to London than I had of going to Nova Zcnihhi. I knew prac tically nothing about tho city. Ono night I dreamed that I was thero in a park facing some public buildings, and over tho trees nnd roofs at tho right wcro tho towers of Westminster abboy and parlia ment buildings. That night an im portant letter was on its way sum moning mo to London. I wont thero, arriving just as tho man who had writ ton the lettor was leaving his housofor a walk. I saw my trunk safely stowed, and then went along with him. Wo strolled out to St.James' park to hear a band play. At ono point in tho park I looked bohind mo, and thero was tho nicturo Iliad seen in my dreams trees, towers, public buildings, and all. Before I went thero I hadn't tho slight est idea how tho city was built. For aught 1 know St. Paul's Wostminstor abhy, Toniplo Bar, and tho British musouin stood in a row on ono street. How did I manage in a dream to sco those buildings oast of St. Jainos' park just in tho position and size, shape, and color that thoy really havo?" AGOODIIOKSU STORY. A Story Alout .YrRjlo, tlio T.lvoly 1'ucor, From tho Spirit of tlio Times. "Pilgrim," who picks up many good story in tho courso of his peram bulations, writes from Chicago." "Ono morning not long ago I sat on tho stops of tho club houso and lis tened to tho entertaining chat of tho owners and drivers: Part of it I will tell you. Ono of tho party, who is usually a very quiet man, edged up to mo and said: " 'I'll toll you a goodstory about An derson and his pacer, Argylo.' I braced my feet firmly, and with both ears wide open, lest I should loso anything, I patiently waited tho com ing of tho storm. " 'You must know,' continued the orator, 'that Argylo had shown somo protty slick work, and was cousidercjl by his party as a suro winner.and was backed right well in tho pools. Tho big, ungainly Now Hope united him to tlio mast in an easy shape, though Argylo was second. Well, when tlio second placo was put upon the boards, two days afterward, Argylo was dnnvn. That was funny to mo, so I just saw Anderson shout it. It would have kill ed you to havo hoard him talk. "You want to know why i drew my horo," said ho, "and I'll toll you. During that fast hat tho otherday, just as wo wore at thethivo-quartornnlopoloandgoiiig a clip. 1 said to a young man driving that black gelding. 'Wo aro going some, my boy.' That young fel low looktvl nt mo over tho wheel, ns tool as you ovor saw ico, and answer ed. 'Oh! no we ain't. When I turn this whip around in my hand and rivo him tlio butt, then we'll begoing some.' Now, when n country lad can uncoil ttu'iiedly give mo that sort of talk in a rod-hot race, and boat mo at that, I havo had onousli of him nnd won't start against him." And ho didn't, cither. A Tnle of the Sen. The Ceylon Gazette of tho 13th of Juno gives tho following narrative of tho only survivor of tho steamer Speke Hall, which recentlyfoundered: , "When I camo to tho surface after being washed off the bridge, I and Quartermaster Usher were clinging to tho samo life-buoy, and I saw the fun nel of the Speko Hall going under water. Boats and everything had been smashed to pieces and washed away; andj indeed, if the boats had been available, they could not have lived in such water. Catching a spar, I aban doned tho life-buoy to Usher. It was dark at tho time, and I could not bco him, and I saw nothing inoro of him or any ono else. At daylight I managed to so curo another spar. I lashed tho two spars together with my bolt, crosswise, so that I was able to sit on tho center. I could not havo held on much longor to tho singlo spar, because every now and then the spar would fall abovome and my head would go under water. When daylight set in tho sea and tho wind had gono down, it camo on rain. I had a sou'-wester on, luckily, and I held it ux) till I caught about a cupful of water. I believe that saved my lifo for I had swallowed a good deal of salt water, and my mouth was parch ed. I saw nothing that day except pieces of wreck floating about. On tho morning of tho second dav I saw tho Bmoko of a steamer a long distance off. Sho passed on without seeing me. I saw ono or two others during tho day, but they were still too far off. About tho middlo of tho second day a Bhark camo rushing along at great Bpced. It was not a very largo one about nine feet long. I was sitting on tho cross pieco with my feet under neath. Tho shark rushed over ono pieco of wood, and I fancy he got tho other arm of the raft in his teeth, be- causo ho stopped suddenly. I had a pieco of stick about three feet long which I picked up, thinking it might bo useful for hoisting my cap on as a signnl. I poked him with this stick and he cleared off at once and Ineversawanvthingmoreofhim. That night a steamer passed quito close to me. I could seo all her lights, but, tho night being dark, sho did not observe mo. I hailed her, but sho was too far off to hear mo. I dozed ofl onco or twice, but whenever I dozed I fell into tho water. I didn't feel much incon venience from the sun. My hat saved me. Un tho morning of tlio thud dav I saw a steamer and a sail. I took my oat off and hoisted it on the stick, and tried to attract her attention. Bho altered her course, and camo straight toward me, and I fancied sho md seen mo; but presently she altered ler courso, and steered awnv from rue. I had almost given up hope then. "Later in tho same day another and much larger shark visited mo, but did not como within thocirclo of tho raft, llo was a tremendous fellow, twenty loot long at least, and Jgaveinysrlf up as lost when l saw him. JNotiimg moro occurred until evening. The sun began to got low, nnd I could not seo anything nil round tho horizon, nnd I mndo up my mind for nnother night. I must havo gono oil into a longer dozo than usual, for I fell of tho raft on my face; and when I got up again tho French steamer Peiho seemed close on mo, as if it Und sprung out of tho wat er. I had nothing to signal with but my hat. I held it up as high as I sould, and ono of tho soldiers on board saw mo. A boat was lowered and an officer nnd four men camo over to mo, and took mo on board, whero thoy treated mo very kindly." Dreams to Order. Sir William Johnson was a. canny Scotchman, who served tho English Government as its agent to tlio Five Nations of Central and Western New York at tho timo of tho French and Indian War. A story of his drenming goes to show that ho had peculiar qualifications for tho post hooecupied. 1 It may servo, also, to throw somo light upon tho occult philosophy of drcama. Soon after ho was appointed to the superintendence of Indian affairs, he wrote to England for soveral suits of clothes, richly laced. When theso wero received, a noted chief of tho Mohawk nation, called Ilendrick, particularly admired tho suits. In tho courso of a few days tho chief calledat tho agency again, and unform ed Sir William that ho had a singu lar dream, and in answer to Sir Will iam's questions, Ilendrick told liim ho had dreamed that tho agent had giv en him ono of tlio lino suits recently received. ' I Sir William took tho hint, and im mediately mado tho chief a present of ono of tho richest suits. Tho Indian chief wont awny highly pleased with tho generosity of tho donoi . Somo timo nfter this, Sir William, happening to boin company with Ilen drick, told tho chief that he to had a dream. Ilendrick wished to know what tho dream wns, nnd Sir William said that ho had dreamed that his very excellent friend, Ilendrick, had mndo him a present of a particular tract ol land, tho most valuable on the Mohawk River, and including about five thousand acres. Hendrijk was prompt in presenting the land to tho agent, but not without makbg this shrewd remark: "Now, Sir William, I will nover dream with you ugain. You dream too hard for mo." j Oooil WhsIiIiic l'liilil.
