Because licr eyes to mo and you

And yours is steeped in sorrow;

Coquette is she: so say with mo,
"Lot him who winshcr wcarhcr;
And fair however fair sho bo,
Thcro's many a lassie fairer."
But if it Imp, and well it may.
That each in vain lias plendcd,
If all my songs are thrown away,
And all your sighs unheeded;
Wo'll vow ourselves no hermit vows,
We'll cross no foaming billow,
We'll bind about our dismal brows
No wreaths of mournful willow;
But show, in spito of her disdain,
Wo yet can livo without her,

And think no moro abouthcrl
MB. BARGER'S IK SECTS.
Thcro is a quaint hamlet a few miles
inland from tho Long Island sound
:onst, known as Dumpling Ponds,
which years ago afforded its few in
habitants a mysterious though per
fectly honest living. Mysterious bo
tauso no man who had not tried it
sver could understand how any ono
In tliat placo over grubbed together
nough to keep soul within tho body.
With such precarious means of food
jetting Oscar 13argcr grow up to man
bood, but though ho clammed all his
arly days ho was not of tho clammcrs,
and though ho fished he was not of tho
fishers.
When ho was 21, though ho had
never been to school in his life, Oscar
astonished tho school cominittco at
Peck's Patent by walking in ono day
ivhcn lliey hod mot to decido upon tho
teacher for tho winter's school.
"Are you going to examine tho teach
ers?" ho asked.
"That's what brought us together."
"And will tho ono that has passed
tho examination get tho placo?"
"If ho i3 a respectablo character ho
will," said tho minister.
"Then I am a enndidato," said Os.
car, as ho shied his big felt hat in tho
corner.
"Whero wcro you eddicatod, Mr.
Burger?" was tho first question put to
him.
"Wherever I had tho luck to get a
spare half-hour and tho fortune to get
a book."
"No, but what school havo you been
to?"
'My own. I haVo been my own
teacher and scholar."
"Never been to school?"
"Never, except as I taught myself."
The whool connnittoo whispered
nmongtliomnelves foi awhilo.and then
the chairman, a man of importance
who had been tluvo limes to tho "log
islatcr," said: "Mr. Harger, it's tho
custom (o biro only eddicatod teach
ers. If you want a job of work I caF
late I can give you one over to my
placo."
"Hut you don't know whether I am
educated or not. You haven't tried
me. Examine me."
"Very well, sinco you insist upon it,"
paid the minister, opening a book.
"What is the square root of 7(5,012?"
Quick as a flash Mr. Burger gave tho
correct answer. Tho committee was
UHtonished.
"You haven't got this arithmetic
hidden close by you.havoyou?" asked
the chairman.
Oncar stepped out in tho middlo of
tho room, right in front of tho com
mittee. "If you think I'm cheating make tip
a sum yourselves and ask me to do if."
Then thoy took a turn u tocography,
nnd beforo many minutes tho commit
tee found that Mr. Burger was tolling
them things they never knew
about the geography of their own
country, nnd presenting tho pieturo of
the world beyond tho confines of their
own town with such vividness as to
cause for tho first time- fiomothing like
a concrete conception of tho fact that
thcro did oxist a land with millions of
acres without a rock and hill, of thou
sands of miles of mountain ranges f,
000 to 15,000 feet high, of rivers that
would bear blggor ships than over camo
up Minims river 2,000 miles inland.
iradKrasmus himself suddenly ap
peared among them with all his learn
ing tho Peck's Landing school com
jnitteo could not havo boon moro
dazed.
Mr. Uargor taught tho Peek's Land
ing school for threo winters with groat
success. At tho end of that time ho
had $300, a fair supply of books, and
a wifo. Ho had married ono of his
scholars, a bright girl, who looked up
on him as a prodigy of learning.
For BOino years Air. Uargor support
ed his family by teaching and by com
pounding and vending a medicinal pill
which his knowledge of botany had
enabled him to mako with such suc
cess that its virtues were known far
nnd near. Ho called it Gall oft lie
Ground. But it was only when his
rapidly growing family needed money
that Mr. Uargor turned his attention
to pill-making. Ho became an entom
ologist, nnd so utterly absorbed was
ho that ho did not notico that his
family were almost starving.
Ono day tho oldest child, n girl,
whom huespecially loved, said to him:
"Kathor, we are not old enough to
earn anything yet, andauothor works
so hard that sho is sick most of tho
time, though she doson't tell you.
Now, I think that u man who knows
no much as you do could make a lot
of money nil at a time: thon you
wouldn't bo bothered about taking
cava of tin, nnd could have all your
time with your hooka, mid money to
buy every book nnd uvoytlili 0U0
yon want," , , , . , . .
Mr. Uttiwr lookivl t his I'lillil a
moment, 'i'ltfu lie tlmt liU book nnd
"VoiiMro right, Mnry. I will mnlcu
hfor iliu yr liuttBoiiuiiioiwyi'iioujjIi
to take caro of us all. Call your mo
ther."
Tho mother camo.
"Jennie," said ho , "can yon get
along without mo for a year? I havo
made agreat discovery, nnd am going
to utilize it."
"What is it, Oscar?" Sho had faith
in him.
"A discovery that will put an end to
prospecting. I havo discovered that
111 tho neighborhood of all true veins of
outcropping gold thero may bo found
a microscopic insect that can befound
nowhere else. I will goto Ncvadaand
search for these animnlcule.not to learn
their habits but to find gold. I shall
find it." Holaughcd heartily. "Then,
with plenty of money we could do all
wo want to do."
Tho wifo encourages him. Surely her
learned Oscar would find gold. Behold
him, then, compounding many gross
of tho Gall of the Ground, and teaching
his wifo how to compound them, too,
that support might bo had during his
absence.
Threo months later Oscar Uargor ap
peared in tho mountains of Nevada,
and ho speedily won tho favor of the
miners, for many of them ho physicked
with his Gall of tho Ground and nursed
them from Bickncss to health.
Uy and by it spread through the
camp about that Mr. Uargor was a
good ways "off" on tho subject of bugs,
ut thcro wosn't a revolver in camp
that would not havo been cocked on
tho instant in defense of him, and the
"heap of learning" that hosoon show
ed himself master of brought him re
spect despito his being "off."
Ono day Mr. Uarger crawled along
dangerously near tho edgo of a ravine
which ho did not see. With hismicro
scopo closo to tho ground ho drew
closer and closcrto it, edging as ho did
a littlo to ono sido.
"Hi, tharl" shouted Jack Thomp
son, an old miner, who was prospect
ing not far away.
Mr. Uarger looked up and saw
Thompson gesticulating furiously, as
though warning him to got away.
"It's a rattlesnake," thought Mr.
Uarger, and ho sprang to ono sido and
over ho went.
Mr. Thompson threw away his pick,
rushed to tho edge of tho precipice, and
looked over. Lookingover, thero; just
below him, was Mr. Uargor not dead
very much alivo, and oxcited, run
ning his microscope up and down tho
rock in front of him. Ho had fallen
safely and unhurt upon a broad ledgo
below, and had ovidentaly at onco ro
sumed operations with tho micro
scope. "Hi tharl" shouted Thompson
"Why didn't you break your neck?
How aro yer going to get up out'en
thar?"
"Thompson, bring your pick."
"What for?"
"You shall havo half thoclaim. I've
found it."
"Found what? Keep your head
cool, pnrd."
"Gold! Goldl Uring tho pick."
.In ten minutes Mr. Thompson had
reached Mr. Uarger's side.
"There thero; just about there,"
said Mr. Uarger, and Thompson in u
moment had a piece of quartz in his
hand.
Ho looked up curiously at Mr. Uar
ger. "That's gold," said Mr. Uargor.
"Not much," said Mr. Thompson.
"It must bo."
"Hut it ain't."
"Well, try again; there's gold here."
"Not a d n bit; I know tho rock.''
"1 can't bo mistaken."
"You are. Hut are you observinq
thatl ain't throwing tho rock away?
Aro you oserving that my eyes shine?
Aro you observing that my hand
shakes? Are you rcmbering that you
remarked that I was your pnrd in this
claim? Hig or little, share and sharo
alike?"
"What do you mean, Mr. Thomp
son?" "Simply that you struck tho richest
silver field in the Rockies. Silver. Do
von hear that pnrd? Silver tons of
it. We've struck it rich that's all.
Seo here, pnrd. You don't know noth
ing 'bout this ere business. Can you
trust mo? I'll handle it, share and
sharo alike, Gd, I will, nnd thon wo
won't get cheated."
"I trust you, Mr. Thompson."
"Your gripper on it."
They shook hands.
Uy night tho claim was mado, and
the report went abroad to tho world
tliat an enormously rich deposit oi
silver had been discovered.
"How much was you worth yester
day?" said Thompson to Mr. Uarger.
"Nothing."
"Well, you can sell out your hali
interest beforo tho end of the week for
$1,000,000."
"Uut I don't understand it," said
Mr. Uarger dubiously.
"What?"
"Thero was no gold there."
"Not 11 bit."
"Yet my bugs wore thorp. I found
them, right thero."
"Pnrd, take my ndvico. Got your
Btnmps, start homo, and yank them
bugs out of your head. If you sell hall
of your half interests, let 1110 manage
your quarter interest. You ain't got
no head for business."
It was as Mr. Thompson said. Mr.
Unrgor sold within a fortnight a quar
ter interest for a clear million. Uut he
was not happy. Ho had his monoy,
was enormously rich, but ho-had found
his gold insect over a silver lodo. Now

PIlKSENTJiD AT COURT.

Jtwjiil Ill-awing Jtooni.
Do you think you can go to a
"drawing room" without learninghow
to mnke a proper reverence? No, in
deed. You must go to a cozy littlo
house in tho West End, where a very
elegant and quaint littlo old French
lady will show you all you havo to do
for a guinea a lesson, and then on the
afternoon beforo tho great day you go
to seo tho lady who is to present you
to got tho important tickets, and to
receive explicit instructions as to your
lino of conduct, for, as the ladybolongs
to tho diplomatic circle, sho will bo in
tho room with her royal highness, and
you must enter alono. At her houso
you meet Borne gentlemen, and ono
tells you that when ho was presented
was tho only moment in hislifo that ho
has known what fear was, and that ho
was in agony lest ho should trip over
Iiis sword, and you think of your
tlireo or four yards of train, ana you
are sure that it will bo much worse
than a sword. And another tells von
that tho young ladies usually aro white
and trembling with tear, anu time often
thoy mako a terrible fiasco; they tell
you of one poor unfortunate, who, in
stead of kissinc thequccn's hand when
it was extended to her, shook it vigor
ously, then realizing wliat sno had
done, lost her head completely, and,
forgetting all tho great lino of person
ages, turned her back and incontinent
ly tied.
Uy the time you leave your instruct
ress' house, you aro trembling in every
limb, and you spend all tho rest of tho
evening making courtesies to tho chairs
and sofas, and fervently hoping that
you may not disgrace your country
on tho morrow.
Your landlord's daughter devotes
herself to you for the next day, and
makes tin most helpful and obliging
of little drossinc-maids, and at last
you are ready, all pearls, laco and
shining silk. It is quito a longdrivcto
tho park, but suddenly you see tho
Ilorso Guards and then you know you
havo arrived, and insido the gates
you find hundreds and lnvidreds
of people waiting to seo tho car
riages pass and standing on tiptoe to
catch a glimpse of you. All tho way
11 1 .1- t . r rt -1.
up mo long drive uie norso uuarus, in
their long plumes and brilliant scarlet,
nro stationed at right and left, and in
sido the palaco gates is a long row of
horsemen standing closo together, and
you alight to tho sound of martial
music. When you haveleft your wrap
in a room near the entrance you go up
a very grand stairway, past men with
spears call "JJeoi-entors, dressed in red
and yellow; you hand one of your
tickets to tho queen s page, and aro
ushered with a great many ladies into
a huge room, all red and gold, and
there you sit for quito a long time gaz
ing at tho lovely yiows of tho park
flii-oiicli Mm wirli! windows, nml sriwlv.
nig tho dresses.
As you pass tho door to thoprcsenco
chamber you drop your train from
your arm, and tho two chamberlains
or whatever they aro called quickly
and deftly straighten it to its full
length as you walk slowly forward, at
tho door of the throne room somo ono
taken your second card; and then you
hear the lord eiiainbcrlai'i pronounc
ing your name in a very loud voico,
and now you aro bowing to tho
princess, you wish tho ladies behind
you would not come quito so fast, for
you feel hurried and areconscious you
are not making yourreverenco the way
you woro taught; you courtesy to the
ladies next tho princess; but ho w many
thero are, or what thoy look like, you
haven't the least idca;you seo tho princo
quiledist inctly, and you walk sideways
and make a series of littlo diminish
ing bows to tho row of dukes or prin
ces or whatever they may be, but of
them you retain not tho faintest im
pression. Suddenly you feel your
train hustled on to your nrm, for in
your confusion you havo forgotten to
hold your arm out properly, and tho
great deed is dono! It has lasted in all
about fifteen seconds; you havon't
seen anything very distinctly, and you
retain only ono idea, that her royal
highness was dressed in light yellow
but you havo been presented at court,
and surely ought to bo satisfied. Tho
next day your name appears in tho
Court Circular. Christian Union.
A TlHiiulcrins: Bij; Organ.

Tho organ has 2,70 1 pipes and fifty-t-even
stops. Some of tho pipes aro
thirty-two feet long and inrgo enough
to admit tho bodies of threo men.
tho towers that riso on cither sido aro
forty-eight feet high, with a niche left
between thorn for tho Goddess of .Mu
sic. This immense temple of music,
which is nearly as largo as a cottage,
is elaborately carved by hand.
It is impossible to estimate tho cost
of it, as it was built in early days,
when freighting was dono by ox
teams across tho plains, and many of
tho workmen only received provisions
for their labor. Hut they aro a peoplo
who will not bo outdone, nnd when the
Episcopal Church built their beautiful
organ hero tho Mormons ut onco bo
sun to improve theirs, which was all
show nnd frnmework, nnd hnvo
til ready expended $10,000 on it.
Sitting in that vast auditorium, 200

Deaths of Distinguished Men.
Tho Uoston Herald has collected ac
counts of the deaths of several eminent
men which are peculiarly intcrcstingat
this time.
Napoleon I. died of a cancer in tho
stomach. Ho underwent all the rise and
fall of health and hope, depression and
despair which havo marked Grant's
illness. Uut tho cancer, being in tho
stomach, caused much severer pain
than Grant's. Toward tho last ho
could not digest his food. Ho was tor
mented by a constant thirst. His
pulso boat with feverish quickness. Ho
was fully awaro of his fate.- "Tho
monarchs who persecute mo," ho said,
"may set their minds at rest. I shall
soon remove all cause for fear." His
dayswero almost given over to spasms
of pain, to vomiting and intolerable
thirst. During tho intervals of rest
he would talk occassionally. Ho said
ho was going to meet his subordinate
generals. "They will experience onco
more the intoxication of human
glory. Wo shall talk of what wo have
dono with Frederick, Csesar and Han
nibal, unless," ho added with n pe
culiar smile after a pause, "unless thero
should be as great an objection in tho
upper spheres as there is here below to
seo a number of soldiers together."
On the 3d of May ho became delirious,
and amid his ravings tlieso words wero
distinguishable. "My son. Thearnvy.
Desaix." His sufferings contiued until
almost the last moment when ho sunk
into unconsciousness. Tho day before
tho death of Frederick tho great, al
though feeble and confined to his bed,
ho went through with all his cabinet
work, dictating to his clerks clearly
and intelligently, bu4 with feeble
voice. Tho next day was spent in
a stupor and occasional opening
of tho eyes. Ho knew, how
ever, of his condition, as ho asked
what tho doctors had said about him.
In tho night ho asked what o'clock it
was. said ho should riso at 4, told an
attendant to throw a quilt over ono
of his dogs that was shivering with tho
cold, and after coughing and clearing
his throat said, "We aro over tho hill.
Wo shall bo better now." This was
his last speech and two hours after he
was dead.
Oliver Cromwell struggled with his
last illness for ten days. Toward the
Inst ho was heard to say among other
things: "I think I am tho poorest
wretch that lives; but I love God, or
rather, am beloved of God. I am a
conqueror, nnd more than a conquer
or, through Christ that strengtheneth
me." Uut most of tho time ho was
speechless.
Hlucher, who saved Wellington at
Waterloo, said to the Kfng of Prussia,
who visited Hm during his last illness,
"I know I shall die. I am not sorry
for it, seeing that I am no longer of
any use."
General Grant's Lust Speech.
At tho annual meeting of tho San
itary and Christian commissions, at
Ocean Grove. August 2, 188-i, General
Grant was present. Ho was introduc
ed to tho largo audience and said:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: Under all
circumstances it is a difficult matter
for me to speak, and how much moro
difficult under tho present circum
stances. An hour ago I might havo
said something about tho Sanitary
and Christian commissions. I wit
nessed tho good done. They did a
great deal by way of consolation,
writing letters to menus at nomo lor
tho sick and wounded, and found whero
their dead were buried. I hope you
aro all having a good timo hero, to
day. I nppreciato ," and hero
tho voice of tho great general was
hushed in sobs, and ho sank into his
chair weeping profusely. Ho was still
a great sufferer from the broken tendon
of his leg, and tho financial crash on
Wall street, which had just swept away
all of his life's savings and imperiled
his good name, over which ho was very
sensitive, and this his first cordial
greeting since his calamities was too
much tor tho manly heart to endure
without tears of gratitude It was
tho only timo tho "hero of many bat
tles was known to shed tears beforo
an audience though often called to
speak. Tho audionco wept like children
and for somo moments silence brooded
over tho vast aeseinbly.
This was General I7. S. Grant's last
speech beforo a largo public assembly.
It will bo roinembered by thousands
for years to come.
Tasted of the Staves.
I like to talk with boys about 00
years of ago and got thorn to tolling
their reminiscences. Uy boys I mean
thoso hearty old fellows .who, though
their hair has turned gray, have as
much yotuijf blood in their veins as
they had when they wero ono-and-twenty.
"I suppose you nil havo
heard of old Farmer Allen," said ono
of these jolly patriarchs tho other day.
"Ho was a great temperance man,
you know. Well, thirteen years ago
wo nil went to camp at Portland, and
Farmer Allen belonged to my com
mand. One terribly hot dny wo had a
clnmbnke, nnd in tho tent was n big
barrel of chnmpagno punch, strong
punch, too. Allen came nlong very
hot nnd very thirsty, nnd looking iu
tho tent snw the barrel of punch.
Hello, boys! got some lemonade,
haven't you?' said tho old man, Yen,
replied the boys, winking nt each
other, 'holp yourself.' Tho farmer went
in, took one glass, smacked his lips,
took another, and liked it so well that
h wanted more. In a littlo while ho
enmo out of thu tent looking very rosy
nnd very unsteady in his movements.
Ho rullectcd a moiiiout, and than said:
