A SONG OF THE CHLNOOK. A WINTKB IliYIJ. (HOT AM TDLM WINTia.) When the soft south wind was on its mission of mercy yesterday, Mr. Minto, the elder, wet me and in hia eager and sanguine way saluted me with : "Now write of too Chinook! Let your muse have wings and soar away in an ode to the Chinook." Bo I bethought me that if I owed anything to the Chinook I might settle it in an ad-verae way, and satisfy Mr. Minto, that is, if machine verses, or the re-verse, will please bis trenchant fancy. The following effort pnts me in mind of the man who lost a golden hour made up of sixty diamond minutes, for I looked at my watch after sapper at 8 o'clock and when I dismount - ed from my Chinook Pegasus it stood at -nine p. m. I dedicate the lost' hour and the rhymes that got away with it to my Jriend John Minto, Esq. : It eune at night: On fleecy wings The mantle fell that Winter dings, Embroidered by the artist, Frost, With eerie work abave all cost; A thousand etchings on the pane Of thing ne'er en on land or main. Castles o'ererown with frosted vines. Far, Boreal scenes, and fairy shrine Cover each pane to hide from sight A world snow-buried in a night. Jingle, tinkle, come the bells. Throwing music on the air "With bri'liant tone that tells How winter with its magic swells Bpeetls us past the realms of care. All the firs deep loaded are And the mingled music swells With mirth and cheer and voices far. Frost has touched the silent water, And icy surfaced is the stream, Many a lad with some one's daughter tearful that "they hadn't oughter," Glide; with taction like a dream. Silvered by the moon's pale beam Skaters ply their merry round : Kinging tee and aleelreaound. Down the hillside aee the coasters Move away with phantom speed : ', Moonlight mingles cravens, boasters. Sleds gleam like a fairy steed. Now ana then as some upset Fun Hows fast and faster yet. Moonbeams tone the lights electric And touch the figure of the night. The glancing sleds seem something spectric And every form Winter sprite, But the flow of screaming voices Hhow tis human kind rejoices. Hen of mettle move on skates. Charming fair ones by their side; Who would dare to dare the fates Choose the lass and let her slide, Let this bright thought All hi noggin To share with her his swift toboggin Thus the spirit Winter came to U6, Winter's wind could not undo us, Fall of merriment and glee All the town for once was free; Bonfires gleam along the stream, On the hill the moonlights' gleam, Through the snow encumbered way Whirls the jingle-haunted sleigh. Xeath the glamour of the Bight All is beauty and delight, South Wind, stav thee, far away Klae taou'lt spoil the Winter ly. In, where comes the mild Chinook I It looks upon the ice-bound brook. And touches with its breath so biaad The snow-crowned fir. Where frosty hand Has piled the drifts, or where the ice Holds the still water like a vice. See saow and ice both disappear ? nick as the soft Chinook comes near! he while we look the silver Moon Grows soft-eyed, as it ware in June; And golden Sua, whose y ester glow "Was colder than the drifted sdow, Honrs down a ray that far and near Bid grim old Winter disappear. Once again the rippling brook Brightens with a living look. Once again does grand old Hood Turn to us in a melting mood. Fields are green and gardens gay Whea the south wind has its way. Bods are swelling into bloom. Giving promise of perfume. Teams afield and plowmen sing' Cheered by promise of the spring. And all because Dame Nature took A mind la send as her Chinook.

It is less than twenty years ago, said Thillip Nourse, that I entered Lebanon, Kew Hampshire, one autumn afternoon, with a dollar and a half in my pocket, and with two blistered feet, having walk ed from Newbury, Vermont. I wasn't a tramp and yet I had no trade. I bad been working around a livery stable in Newbury for a few weeks, and had reach ed that place from Montpelier. I had been recommended to a hotel keeper at Lebanon as a good man for porter, but when I arrived be had just engaged a man, and my cake was dough. I bang about the place for three or four days tsawinga couple of cords of wood for a merchant, and then started for Hanover. 1 left Lebanon just at daybreak, having slept in a barn without a knowledge of .any one, and having had some crackers and cheese for my -breakfast. While I walked boldly out of town, having no reason to fear anybody, I couldn't after ward remember seeing anybody astir. I was a happy-go-lucky chap, having no family or relatives to worry about me or to depend on my earnings, and, though I was hard up and without ambition, I was not a criminal. I had never been rrested in my life, and I had no reason whatever to fear the law. At 10 o'clock that forenoon while I sat on a log by the roadside taking a bit of luncheon, I wax overtaken by a gang of six persons, one of whom was a constable and the others farmers. They were in a wagon, and a" t the vehicle came opposite me they all leaped out and I was siexed and hand cuffed with much ado, while the gang congratulated themselves on having so easily secured me. When I asked who they were and the cause of my arrest I was overwhelmed with curses and threats and flung into the wagon. We headed to the south, from which direction I had come, but after going two miles turned into an east and west road, and coin a east three miles we Btopped at a farm house, where about a score of people had assembled. Threats and curses greeted my appearance, and several people cried out that I ought to be lynched. Here is what had happened, although it was sev eral days beiore I secured the particu lars. The owner of the farm was a man named Bnrchard. He was in his barn yard after breakfast when a tramp came along and stopped at the house and asked (or breakfast. 1 he wife sent him to the barn, and a half hour later the husband staggered up to the kitchen door, said the tramp had knifed him, and fell down and died. The alarm was given, and in an hour parties were out in search. The wile was positive tuat she could identifv the tramp, and no sooner did she set eyes on me that she cried out that 1 was the man, and but for the determined front of two or three officers of the law I should have been lynched. W hat did 1 do? .Nothing. If I but opened my mouth I was cursed and threatened. J. here was no more-doubt in their minds that I was guilty than that it was daylight. After the inquest I was taken to the county jail. At the inquest I was asked my name, age, res idence, occupation, etc. I gave tliem all the information I could, but unfortunate ly it was not in my favor. If I could prove that I did not commit the murder. 1 was a wanderer, penniless and friend less, and just the man to do the murder, and who could doubt my guilt after the wife had so clearly identified me? I weighed all these chances and realized that fate was against me. They could not understand how the murder had come about. The farmer had not been robbed, although his coat had been torn and there was evidence of a a struggle. He bad been stabbed with his own jack knife, and the knife had been left on the ground. He had been stabbed three times in the region of the heart and his fingers were also cut up. After being placed in the jail I was advised to make a clean breast of it, and because I denied my guilt I was denounced as a hardened wretch. The preliminary examination was a farce, and I was returned to jail to await my trial and loaded down with irons as a desperate character. One day aslouchy fellow, not over twenty years old, named liaker, paid me a visit in jail. He was the son of a farm er living about seven miles from the scene of the murder. It appeared that he had been investigating the case on his own hook, having a great ambition to become a detective. He opened the conversa tion by saying to me : "NonsenBe, they have made idiots of themselves in tins case. I have found two persons in Lebanon, who saw you leave that place at the hour you name. I can further show that yon could not nave turned aside, committed tne crime, and got to the point where you were ar rested even had you been on horseback. Mow, then, if the stabbing was done with Burchard's own knife, what inference do you drrwr" "He had the knife open and in his own hands?" "Exactlv." "The murderers took it away from him r "Certainly." "There was a struggle for the weapon, ana liureiiard'e fingers were cut?" "You have it." "And yon naturally conclude that the murderer did not escape scot free? ' "That's the very thing, and if I don't have him. in custody inside of a week, I'll ask them to hang me in your stead." He put a chattel mortgage on a horse, telegraphed to fifty different places, made two or three "short trips, and on the afternoon of the fourth day returned from Frankhn with a .prisoner, who had been nabbed on one ol his telegrams. The man was a tough-looking customer. with his left arm wrapped in a verv dirtv cloth and a fresh cut about two inches long on his chin. When the rag was taken from his hand two pretty bad cuts were found, and. though he strenuously denied ever having been in the locality before, Baker was in high feather. He had moved quickly but "vigorously, and his prisoner entered the jail without even tne sheriff suspecting what he was charged with. Baker confided the case to the prosecuting attorney, and it was arranged that Mrs. Burchard should visit the jail. 'She had twice identified me as the tramp and murderer, and they told her I had a- confession to make. She came to the jail with the prosecutor, cor oner, and a brother, and the man arrest ed by Baker was alone in one of the cor riders as they were ushered in. The wo man looked at him for a moment, threw np her hands with a scream, and next instant bad fainted dead away. "Aye ! d-n her, but the jig is up!" ex claimed the man, and he at once con fessed to the murder and gave all the details. He said that he entered the barnyard and offered to work for his breakfast, but Burchard roughly ordered' him off the premises. He replied hotly, and the farmer drew his knife and menaced him. He then became aroused, and, securing the weapon after a strug gle, he committed the deed. He was concealed in a barn a mile away all that day, and after my arrest of course all the searching parties were called in. That's my case, sir. While I was dis charged, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced for life, and the green farmer's boy who worked the case up is to-day one of the keenest and sharpest of detec tives. (New York Sun.

There are two young southern ladies of more than ordinary musical talent who are devoting themselves to the study of the violin under the best masters to be had In this country. One is Miss Duke, the daughter of that dashing cavalryman, lien. Basil Duke, of Kentucky, Who mar ried the beautiful and spirited sister of Gen. Jhn Morgan, the famous par tisan leader, and whose remarkable ex ploits in the civil war form a thrilling feature of the great struggle. Miss Duke is now here, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Zane, of Louisville, who have taken a house here for the winter. At the musi cal given at Justice Matthews' this ac complished young lady played with a degree of artistic feeling'and finished skill several morceaux which require the nt- niest culture and advanced technique. Another is Miss Maud Tarleton, ol llal- timore, formerly of Mobile, Ala., who has been studying about four years or more, and possesses a touch of peculiar delicacy, firmness, strength and passion. It is not improbable that Miss Tarleton may visit friends here before Uie season closes, when the lovers of music may possibly have an opjwrtnnity of bearing her to an advantage. The violin may be played by women with wonderful Bweet- ness, but as a rule, with the exception of the great Camillo Urso, they lack the strength of wrist and left hand requisite lor great and sustained power. HE BCK.NT HIS 8EB1I02JS. My sermons had been written with great care, and many of them were ready for the press. I had folded and ruled my pa per; I had with my own hands stitched them together with as much skill as a bookbinder could have done. Nay, I had actually employed a bookbinder to pre pare little sermon books of suitable size and with a suitable cover, and had val ued myself on the neatness of my manu scriptfor that portion of my audience that occupied the galleries could look down upon my sermon as I carefully laid it in the open Bible and I had a con scious pride in the feeling that my ser mon was in entire keeping with the other arrangements of the sanctuary, lint what should be done with them now? I resolved to burn them and thus to save all trouble to my friends when I should have gone to my long resting place. 1 took a day for the purpose and I com mitted them in installments of a dozen or more to the flames. I watched them as they were slowly consumed. They were not martyrs, for thev could not feel the flame, but it was a kind of martyr dom of myself. The end of life was real ly coming. The beginning of the end was really near. I saw them slowly consume "into smoke consume away." Rev. Albert Barnes, in the Evangelist. how it is mm.

"This eternal 'beg pardon intimation that you have failed to hear, is beginning to be tiresome," growled an old gentle man the other day. " 'What' is too ab rupt and 'bow' is execrable, and yet some other form besides 'beg pardon' could be used. Why not sometimes say, 'I didn't hear you,' or 'please repeat that,' or 'excuse my inattention.' Then, too, the speaker sometimes talks in such an indistinct, inarticulate manner that he is the one who ought to say 'beg par don,' and not the patient listener. Phil adelphia (Jail.

I., late of the Royal Nary, of England, has got into profes sional trouble for writing the following open letter to the editor of the London f amih Dpetor; I believe it to be the duty ot every physician to make known any means or remedy wnereoy stcKness can ue pre vented, and it is for this purpose I write to give my experience both here and abroad. 1 ask the publication of the statement that people may be warned be fore it is too late, to say to tlrcm that there is at hand a means by which they may be restored to perfect health. It is well known to the medical world, and in deed to the laity, that a certain disease is making a terrible havoc ; that next to consumption it is the most fatal, and that when fully developed titer is noth ing to be done for the snuerer. rhvsiciana and seientrsts have long been trying to throw light upon the cause, and if possible, find iu nature a medicine for this fatal malady. They have shown, absolutely, that the blood-purifying or gans ol vital importance, are tne Kidneys, and that when they once fail, the poison which they should take out of the blood is carried by the blood into every part of the body, developing disease." " In my hospital practice in England, India and South Ameriea, and also while a surgeon in the Koyal Navy of Great . . . i i .... . : liriutm, i gave a great aeai oi attenuou to the study of diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs, and found that not only waa the cure ot chronic Bright Disease hopeless, but that kidney dis ease was remaritaDiy prevalent; mncu more so than general! v known, and was the cause of the majority of cases of sick ness, and further, that the medical pro fession has no remedy which exerts any absolute control ever these argans in disease." " Borne time ago when I had a case which resisted all regular treatment, which is very limited, complicated with the passing of stones from the kid neys, much against my will I permitted my patient to use Warner's sale cure, of which I had heard marvelous results. In his caBe the result was simply marvel ous, aa the attack was a severe one, and development very grave, for an analysis showed per cent, ot albumen and granu lar tube casts." " The action of the medicine was sing ular and incorniirehensible to me. I had never seen anything like it. The patient recovered promptlv, and is to-day a well and healthy man. This stimulated my inquiry into the merits of the remedy and alter analysis I found it to be of purely vegetable character, harmless to take under all circumstances." " Casting aside all professional preju dice, I gave it a thorough trial, asl was anxious that my patient should be re stored to health, no matter by what medicine. I prescribed it in a great : variety of cases, Acute, Chronic, Bright's i Disease, Congestion of the Kidneys, i Catarrah of the Bladder, and in every instance did it speedily effect a cure." " For this reason I deem it my duty to give to the world this statement regard ing the value of Warner's Bale cure. I make this statement on facts I am pre pared to produce and substantiate. I appeal to physicians of large practice who know how common and deceptive diseases oi the kidneys are, to lay aside professional prejudice, give their patients Warner's safe cure, restore them to per fect health, earn their gratitude, and thus be true physicians." "I am satisfied that more than one half of the deaths which occur in England are caused, primarily, by impaired action of the kidneys, and the consequent re tention in the blood of the poisonous uric and kidney acid. Warner's safe cure causes the kidneys to expel this poison, cheeks the escape nf albumen, relieves the Jinflammation and prevents illness from impaired and impoverished blood. Having had more than seventeen years' experience in my profession, I conscientiously and emphatically state that I have been able to give more relief and effect more oures by the use of War ner's safe cure than by all the other medicines ascertainable to the profession, the majority of which, I am sotry to say, are very uncertain in their action." " Isn't that a straightforward, manly latter?" t " Indeed it is." " Well, but do you know the author has been dreadfully persecuted for writ ing it?" " Mow so? What has he done to merit it?" " Done? He has spoken the truth 'out of school" and his fellow physicians who want the public to think they have a monopoly in curing diseases, are terri bly angry with him for admitting pro fessional" inability to reach certain dis orders." "That letter created a wonderful sen sation among the titled classes and the public. This jarred the doctors terribly. The College of Surgeons and Queen's College, from which institution he was graduated, asked for an explanation of his unprofessional conduct, and notified him that unless he made a retraction thev would discipline him." "The doctor replied that he allowed his patients to make use of Warner's safe cure only after alt the regular methods had ailed, and when lie was satisfied that there was no possible hope for them. Upon their recovery, after hav ing used Warner's safe cure, he was so much surprised that lie wrote the above letter to the Family Doctor. He regret ted that the faculties found fault with his action in the matter, but he could not conscientiously retract the facts as written to the taimlu Doctor." " The faculties of both colleges replied that unless he retracted they should cut him off, which would naturally oHr him from again practicing hit profutiori, and also prevent h is securing another appoint ment in the Koyal JNavy I Tha illustrious doctor's dilemma is certainly an unpleasant one, emphasizing as it does, both his own honesty, and the contemptible prejudice and bigotry of English medical men.
