The Minstrel.
I am no gifted child of song,
No harper old and gray,
To win the smiles of courtly throng,
With some enchanting lay;
Tet still to friendship old and true,
I'll touch the tuneful string,
And o'er thy heart as blissful dew,
Its music softly fling.
I would bring back the youthful page,
His true love, time and place,
The proud old father in his rage,
And put themiface to face;
And humbly though the gift may be,
And weak my minstrel skill,
'Tis all I have to offer thee,
And am thy debtor still.
Lady, the silent hours of night,
When starlets twinkle free,
Are fraught with visions of delight,
And memories of thee;
And when the pale moon softly smiles,
Upon the other main,
And glides among the starry isles,
I list thy voice again.
I would recall some lovelit green,
Where island lovers smiled,
And bring again the festal scene.
At Moorish Ivanlid;
I'd bring them from earth's fairest spots
From island, lake and sea,
Tet lady, all my waking thoughts
Are evermore of thee.
Ah! vain it were some glad refrain,
To other theme than this,
For I would have no note of pain,
In this sweet dream of bliss;
Dear lady, as I kneel to thee,
And pen this tuneful line,
Let love so changeless plead for me,
Oh! wilt thou not be mine?
A Doctor's Story.
I am a doctor. I live in London, and
in one of the most crowded localities.
I had been in my present abode two
years, and had never had a patient from
the more aristocratic circles, when one
night, about 11 :30, I was startled by a
violent ring at my bell, and having just
got to bed after a hard day's work, I can't
say the summons was agreeable.
However, 1 ran to my window at once,
and, thrusting my head out into the rain,
cried, "Who is there?"
A voice answered, "Only I, doctor. It's
xn. urgent case. Please come down to the
door?"
I hurried on some clothes, sped down
stairs, and opened the door. There stood,
in the full light of the hall lamp, an el
derly lady, dressed in mourning.
She put out the smallest of hands, in a
fine, black kid glove, and said, piteously,
"Are you the doctor?"
"Yes," I said.
"Then come with me," said she. "Don't
delay. It's life or death. Come 1"
I hurried on my overcoat, caught up
my umbrella, and, offering my arm to the
old lady,walked down the wet street wTith
her.
"You must be my guide, madam," I
said. "I do not know where you live."
She instantly gave me a street and
number that surprised me still more. It
was a tolerably aristocratic quarter of the
town.
"Who is ill, madam," I inquired, "a
grown person, or a child?"
"A young lady my daughter," she
said.
"Suddenly?'
"Yes, suddenly," she answered. "Do
you keep a brougham? You should have
had it out if you do. We would have
been able to go faster."
"I keep no conveyance," I said.
"Perhaps you are poor!" she said,
eagerly.
"Certainly not rich," I said.
"Cure her, and I'll make you rich,"
she said, in a sort of suppressed shriek.
"Cure her, and I'll give you anything you
ask. I don't care for money. I am roll
ing in gold. Cure her, and I'll shower it
on you."
"You are excited, madam," I said.
"Pray be calm."
"Calml" she said. "Calm! but you
don't know a mother's heart."
We had reached the street she had in
dicated, and were at the door of one of
its houses. The old lady ascended the
steps, and opened the door with a latch
key. A light burned in the hall : another
in one of the parlors, the furniture of
which was draped and shrouded in white
linen.
"Wait here, sir, if you please," she
said, as she led me into one of these.
I waited what I thought a most uarea
sonable time in that gloomy parlor. I be
gan to grow a little nervous,when a stout,
short, red-faced woman, bustled into the
room.
"I beg your pardon, sir," she said, in a
-singular tone, such as one who had com
mitted a speech to memory might use;
"but my missus the lady who brought
you here is very nervous, and needlessly
alarmed. She begs your acceptance of
the customary fee, and there is no need
of your services."
Thus speaking,she handed me a guinea,
courtesied, and opened the door for me.
I bowed, expressed my pleasure that the
patient was better, and departed.
It was a queer sort of adventure, rather
amusing than otherwise; besides, I had a
good fee.
I rose early next morning, and paid a
couple of visits before breakfast. Re
turning, to my astonishment, I found
sitting in my consulting-room the lady
of the night before. She rose as I en
tered.
"What muBt you think of me?" she
said. "But no matter. 3Iy daughter is
very dear to me, and I have hoard of your
skill. She is worse again. Can you call
some time to-day, as early as possible, at
my house?"
"1 will be there in an hour."
The lady took out ber purse.
"I am an old-fashioned woman," she
said. "I retain old-fashioned habits. In
my day the doctor received his fee on the
spot. It was, in ordinary cases, a guinea.
Will you receive it now?"
I did not know what to say, but she
laid the money on the table,and departed.
I ate my breakfast, and, havifig dressed
myself carefully,inade my way to the old
lady's house. I knocked. The door was
opened by the stout female who had dis
missed me the night before.
"The doctor," I said, by way of ex
planation. "Ah!" said she. "Has missus called
you in again?"
"Yes," I answered.
"There is no need, I assure you, sir,"
she said. "I can't really ask you in.
There's no one ill here. It's a whim of
missus'. I'm a better judge of illness
than she. No need of a doctor!"
I left the house, of course, partly in
dudgeon, partly in amazement.
Three weeks passed by, when, lo! the
old lady again.
She walked into my consulting-room,
dressed as befoie, as greatly agitated, as
carefully polite.
"Sir," she said, "again I trouble you.
My poor daughter! Come at once."
"Madam," I answered, "it is a doctor's
duty, as it should be his pleasure, to obey
such calls; but you are aware that I have
been sent from your door twice without
seeing the patient. Allow me to ask you
a question are you the mistress of that
house?"
"Heaven knows I am," said the old
lady. "I have lived there for forty years.
I am the only person under that roof who
has the right to give an order."
"And the person who sent me away?"
"My old servant, Margaret."
"Did she do it at your order?"
"No, sir; it was a piece of presump
tion. But Margaret means well. She
loves us."
"Then, madam, if I accompany you, I
shall see the patient?"
"Assuredly, sir."
I put on my hat again, and we went
out of the house together. We exchanged
very few words as we walked the streets.
At the door of her house the old lady
paused.
"Don't mind Margaret," she whispered.
"She means well."
Then she ascended the steps.
At the last one the door was opened to
us by the woman I had twice seen before.
"The doctor must see my child, Mar
garet," said the old lady.
Margaret stepped back.
"Walk in, sir," was all she said.
The old lady beckoned me to follow
her. I did so. She went up stairs, and
opened the first door we came to. It was
an empty bed-room. She closed it with
a sigh. The next room into which she led
me was also empty. So were all the oth
ers. In effect, we visited six apartments,
only one of which seemed to be regularly
occupied as a sleeping chamber; and at
the last the lady turned to me with a
strange glitter in her eyes.
"Stolen," she said, "stolen; somebody
has stolen my girl. Sir, do you know, I
think it must be Satan!"
Then a steady step crossed the sill.
Margaret came in, and the old lady,burst
ing into tears, suffered her to lead her
away.
As I made my way down stairs, Mar
garet rejoined me.
"You understand it now," she said.
"You see this poor lady is not in her
right mind."
"I do, indeed," I said.
"She had a daughter, once," said Mar
garet, "and the girl a pretty creature of
sixteen ran away with a bad man. She
came back home one day,and begged for
giveness. Her mother turned her from
the door, in a fury. It was night; the
rain and bail beat down on the poor
thing, and the wind buffeted her. There
is no knowing what happened to her that
night; but, next morning, she lay dead
in the police station. Her mother's ad
dress was pinned to her baby's clothing,
and they brought her home. From that
awful day, sir, my mistress who, in her
remorse and delirium, called in twenty
doctors to bring her dead daughter to life
has always been doing what she has done
to you. I try to keep the secret gener
ally, but some find it out, and others
think hard things of us. I thought I
would let you know the truth. If she
contrives to come again to you, you can
always promise to call, and so be rid of
her. Poor soul! She has nobody in the
world but me now. She's punished for
her hardness, at any rate, and you'll ex
cuse her conduct."
I bowed. I could say nothing. Mar
garet opened the door for me, and I
walked out into the fresh air.
As I looked back upon the house, with
all its elegance, it seemed to me to have
a haunted air, as though the ghost of the
poor girl still hovered about it.
"God only knows how many fearful se
crets such handsome homes may at times
shut in," I said to myself, as I turned my
back upon it gladly.
I'have never seen the poor old lady
since that hour. Probably Margaret has
kept too close watch upon her.

The Dead Letter Sale.
THE -CURIOUS THINGS SENT BY MAIL THAT
KEVXR REACHED THEIK DESTINATION.
In all cases where letters and packages
contain valuables, they are returned to
the writer or forwarder, if there iH any
clue to his address, and when none can
be found they are of course retained in
the dead letter office. The money alone
which yearly finds its way into this of
fice ranges from $75,000 to $100,000.
During the last fiscal year the amount
received was $77,060.66, of which $54,
637.17 was returned to the forwarders,
and $22,527.47 remained in the hands of
the department. Some idea of the ar
ticles accumulated may be gained when
it is stated that the list embraces 2,219
miscellaneous articles (including wear
ing apparel of all kinds), 1,375 pieces of
jewelry some very valuable 1,585
books, treating on almost every subject,
269 chromoB, 217 pieces of sheet music,
and 102 stereoscopic views. Among the
mechanical implements are organ valves,
sewing machine tools and needles, but
tonhole cutters, tuning forks, saw file?,
steel wire awls, scissors, spirit-guages,
siphons, screws, pruning-shears, shoe
makers' and blacksmiths' tools, surgical

Steam on the Erie Canal.
That steam can be applied economi
cally to canal-boats admits of no ques
tion, always provided that the vessel is
of a certain size; and just here is the
difficulty the Erie Ganal boat is too
small. No practical man would dream
of applying steam to a canal-boat of fifty
tons, nor would he hesitate to apply it to
one of a thousand tons. Experience
alone must be the guide in determining
the smallest-sized vessel in which it can
be used to advantage, and there has been
a large experience in this matter. Steam
ers have been plying on the Delaware
and Raritan and the Delaware and Chesa
peake canals for over thirty years, and
the result has proved that steam is not
economical when applied to boats of two
hundred tons, and this is confirmed by
recent experiments on the Erie Canal
itself.
For steam implies skilled, and conse
quently, expensive, labor, with addition
al capital, greater wear and tear and less
capacity for cargo, and these the gain in
time does not offset. ISTo power for a
small vessel has been found so cheap as
a pair of horses and a driver. A steamer
towing one or more barges has decided
advantages, but the serious loss of time
occurring at the looks, where each boat
has to be passed separately (thus delay
ing the others), will prevent this plan
from being adopted to any extent. The
same objection holds to the Belgian sys
tem which involves the laying on the
bottom of the Canal a wire cable, to
which a steamer with a tow of boats is
attached though an economical use of
power is undoubtedly attained thereby.
But even if the application of steam to
the existing class of boats met with
partial success, yet the reduction of ex
pense would be too slight to meet the
difficulty. To enable the Canal to com
pete with the rail some radical change is
necessary. John O. Stevens, in Scribner.
Direct experiments by Dunham,Ham
mond and others show that sleep in the
brain is promoted by absence of blood
therefrom. This is proved also, indirect
ly, by the greater quantity of blood
which circulates in the skin and extremi
ties during sleep, because there is a great
er radiation of heat from the skin.
Whatever tends to abstract blood from
the brain favors sleep, hence digestion
tends to cause sleep, as do hot drinks,
etc., by drawing the blood supply from
the brain to the stomach. So, converse
ly, whatever tends to keep up the activ
ity of the brain cells and the circulation,
tends to prevent sleep ; this being, there
fore, the effect of any stimulus applied
to the senses, sights, sounds, thoughts,
and anxiety and the like, while the op
posite tends to favor sleep.

A Case for Indignation.
For many months England has rung
wim indignant proiesis against tne bar
barities wrought by Russian upon Turk,
and Turk upon Russian and Bulgarian.
Yet these barbarities, terrible as they are,
and deserving of the sternest reprobation,
are but the ligitimate fruit of a bitter
war between nations that are scarcely
more than semi-civilized. At the very
worst, their efiects are limited, both as to
time and the numbers affected by them.
But indignant England has been, for
scores of years, inflicting upon a helpless
nation a wrong beside which the barbari
ties of Turk and Russian sink into com
parative insignificance a wrong which
has affected the physical and moral wel
fare of millions of human beings,and will
prove fatal to millions more in com
ing years. We refer to the opium trade,
which commercial England has forced
upon the Chinese for more than a century
past. That terrible traffic, which has in
creased from a few thousand pounds a
year at the beginning to ten or eleven
million pounds at the present time, has
proved, like intemperance in our own
country, incalculably more destructive
than war in its most barbarous forms.
The Chinese Government has always
frowned upon the traffic, and resisted the
admission of the fatal drug by every
means at its command. Its energetic at
tempts to do this in the early part of the
century brought on theinfamous "Opium
War," waged by England solely to com
pel the Chinese authorities to admit
opium to the kingdom. All that Chris
tian missionaries have been able to ac
complish since their first entrance into
China, glorious as their achievements
have been, has been a thousandfold over
balanced by the fearful misery and deg
radation which nominally Christian trad
ers have brought upon the people of that
dark land. While Christian teachers
have sought to introduce the blessing of
the gospel, these merchants, backed by
the land and naval forces of Christian
England, have succeeded in forcing in
their baneful drug, in spite of every
barrier raised against it. The Chinese
authorities have done their best; but they
are no match for the cunning and power
of their formidable adversaries.
Recently, according to the London
Friend of China, the Government has
been making a renewed attempt to stem
the tide of intemperance in the use of
opium. An imperial edict has been pro
mulgated, which points out that although
stringent regulations have heretofore
been made which forbids magistrates,
scholars, soldiers and others to smoke
opium, the smokers are daily increasing
m numbers. All civil and military of
ficers are therefore enjoined to consider
the circumstances, and take such meas
ures as may be necessary to check the
growing evil. One of the provincial
governors, it is noted, has already en
tered upon the work of suppression, by
shutting up all shops except on the main
thoroughfares, restricting these to doors,
three feet high, forbidding the use of
beds, and compelling smokers to lie on
the floor. He fears an uprising, it is
said, were he to shut up all the shops at
once. But by thus making opium-smoking
disreputable from the surroundings,
he hopes to deter all who have any re
gard for respectability from frequenting
the shops.
These are laudable efforts on the part
of the Chinese rulers, and they deseive in.
making them the heartiest sympathy of
every Christian nation. Especially ought
they to receive the sympathy of that
nation which is maiuly responsible,
through its encouragement and support
of the Indian opium trade, for the enor
mous growth of the traffic with China.
Some of the righteous indignation so
freely poured out upon Cossack and
Bashi-Bazouk might well be visited upon
those who are engaged in perpetrating so
foul a wrong upon a defenceless nation.
New York Examiner and Ohronicle.
Women and Home. There is a bundle
of delight bound up in the sweet word,
home. The word is typical of comfort,
love, sympathy, and all the other quali
ties that constitute the delights of social
life. Were the every-day enjoyments of
many of our intelligent and affectionate
families faithfully portrayed, they would
exceed, in moral heroism, interest and
romance, most of the productions of
the pen of fiction. The social well-being
of society rests on our home, and
what are the foundation stones of our
homes but woman's care and devotion?
A good mother is worth an army of ac
quaintances, and a true-hearted, noble
minded sister is more precious than the
"dear five hundred friends."
Those who have played round the same
doorstep, basked in the same mother's
smile, in whose veins the same blood
flows, are bound by a sacred tie that can
never be broken. Distances may separate,
quarrels may occur, but those who have a
capacity to love anything must have at
times a bubbling up of fond recollec
tions, and a yearning after the joys of
by-gone days. i.very woman has a mis
sion on earth. There is "something to
do" for every one a household to put in
order, a child to attend to, some class of
unfortunate, degraded or homeless hu
manity to befriend. That soul is poor
indeed that leaves the world without
having exerted an influence that will be
felt for good after she has passed away.

A Thoughtful Good Max. A middle
aged woman has called at the postoftice
two or three times daily for the past week
to see if there was any mail to her ad
dress. Her anxiety finally became so
great that she explained that she
was expecting money from her hus
band, who was off on his annual
vacation. Yesterday morning she wag.
made glad by receiving a postal card
from him. She retired to one of the win
dows and read aloud to herself:
"Dear Wife I'd send you twenty
dollars with this, but you see I'd have to
pin it on, and some one might take it off,,
put a counterfeit in its place, and when I
got home you would be in jail."
She read it over again, and there were
tears in her eyes as she mused : "He's the
best man on earth. Few husbands would?
have been as thoughtful as that. I don't
know good money from bad, and but for
his thoughtfulness I might pass this very
night in jail. I see now what a narrow
escape I've had, and I'll take the chil
dren and go and board with my brother-in-law
for the next two weeks."

The "Bone and Sinew"
Of our country have of ten especially about
election time been made the subject of laud
ation; but when those useful parts of the
human structure become too visible in con
sequence of leanness they can Bcarcely be
called graceful. The eye delights not to
dwell upon angles and ridges in either man
or woman. Moreover, extreme emaciation
is a sign of imperfect digestion and conse
quent poverty of the blood. Both these; evils
are remedied by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,,
which render digestion an assimilation cer
tainties, in consequence of which the blood'
acquires richness and the body substance.
Thus are the hollow places filled up and the
angles rounded off. Through the instru
mentality of this peerless aid to digestion
and promoter of physical well being, the
body rapildy gains in vigor, color returns to
the hollow cheek, the appetite improves,,
nervous symptoms vanish, and a healthful
impetus is given to every vital function.
