bed an’ didn’t ’sturb you. Aunt Hope."
“Are you at last in love. Hope?"
asked one of her sisters, laughing.
“No, ’ said Hope, simply. Then she
sat silent awhile.
When she spoke again, her blue eyes
were looking across the wheat fields to
the distant line of hills.
“Mother,” she said softly, “I have
decided a question whieh has troubled
me very much lately. A wav off be
yond those hills lie tin- battle-fields and
the camps where our wounded men are
lying, dying day after day because there
are so few to nurse them back to life.
You have my sisters here, I can be of
so little use to you or them, and it is
mv dutv to go and do what I can for
our soldiers. Do not try to dissuade
me,” as they started up in surprise and
horror. “My mind is made up to do
this thing, and I must go. I have
written to one of the nurses, and she
tells me gladly to go. You can not
miss me, and perhaps as there are so
few there, I can be of some little serv
ice.”
And so she went; unclasping the
clinging fingers of thechildren, smilirg
>ack at the group gathered on the rose-
wined piazza of the time-worn home
stead, over whose threshold her light
feet had so often passed and so gaily.
How strange the old home seemed
without her! How plainly the big
rooms told of the absence of a small,
gentle woman, whose voice and eyes
aot being there, left so little music and
sunshine.
“Yet," they said, comforting one
another, “Hope was so helpless and
weak, she surely can not stand the
strain on her strength, or be of any use
there in the hospital tents on the battle
field, and will soon return,”
But the days and weeks went by and
still Hope Harris did not return, worn
and weary, to the old farm-house, as
her parents and sisters and friends ex
pected. Instead, she flitted in and out,
to and fro, among the soldiers lying
helpless upon the rude beds; like an
angel of mercy, with eyes like the
skies, and hair like stray gleams of
sunshine.
She grew brave in the midst of danger.
Her real womanlv nature asserted itself
as she ministered to the wounded and
dying. There she found her work
which had slipped past her at home.
Her hands were small, perhaps, and
slender, but strength lay under the
delicate bine-veined flesh, while there
reposed in the dainty finger-tips a
magic power that charmed away many a
headache from broad, manly brows.
A woman’s hand is an exquisite poem,
with rare, sweet rhythm in curves and
lines.
The hands of Hope Harris were small
and womanly, but the work they ac
complished was a wonderful work.
Two sturdy young men were wounded
and brought to the tents one day, the
one with his right leg gone, the other
minus his left arm.
A nurse was needed. The surgeon
called for Nurse Harris, and without
one word of warning or preparation,
little Hope, white-faced, but steady,
bent over the bedside where lay broad-
shouldered John.
“Hope!” he cried, amazed, starting
up only to fall back helpless among the
pillows, the red blood staining the torn
blue sleeve, while Hope, her lips trem
bling, but with steady hands, helped
the surgeon in his work of dressing the
terrible wound. And when that was I
finished and the big fellow lying quiet,
they went to the other poor soldier,
and up into Hope’s set face looked the
bonnie blue eyes and features, stern
from pain—of him who had been his
mother’s pride and darling—glad-
hearted. mischief-loving Jim!
The surgeon said afterward that he
wondered how she stood it, so dainty
and so small she looked, bending above
the painfully set face of the man lying
helpless before her. and added, as
he brushed something from his eyes,
that the hungry look on the big
fellow's face as she leaned down to
him was enough to make the hardest
heart ache. But the recovery of the
two young fellows, he said, was en
tirely due to the untiring care of the
gentle nurse. While away off in the
farm-house Hope was blessed with tears
and prayers for the good that she had
done.
And when the battle was over and al 1
met around the hearthstone in the big
homestead, bound in rose vines, the
hearts of each and all s elled with un
utterable love and gratitude to the
small, gplden-haired, blue-eyed little
lady, who ever afterward was tenderly
cherished as “our Hope,” to never
again be “only Hope!”— F. R. Ludlum,

which is twenty feet a side. These four
pyramids are separated from each oth r
by a space of three hundred feet, ai 1

There have been no accidents with this

the car remains fastened to this hook.
That is the system for the elevators,and

the work. "Tlie tower will never he

ized, for at the slightest wind there will
be an oscillation preventing all observa

that, with an impetuous wind of seven
ty feet a second and a pressure of a
hundred pounds on every sipiare yard,
the tower will not sway more than four
liiebes. Wiih a tempest—the wind a
hundred feet a second and a pressure of
one hundred and fifty pounds a yard —
the oscillation will not be more than six
inches. The oscillations will be very
s’ow because of the great length of the

that it will be much leas than in columns

HENRY CLAY.
The
Great Orator’s formal Farewell
Speech iu the Senate.
Henry (.'lay rose in the Senate on the
31st of March, 1M2, to make his fare
well speech in a ehanibe, which lie had
entered forty-two years previoti ly,
although lie had not Iwen in Continuous
service since then. The Senate chain bar
presented a magnificent spectacle,
perhaps, upon the whole, a .more
brilliant one than had ever before been
exhibited there. Every sent was filled,
and ev.-ry avenue approaching the
chamber blocked up. Two hoursb fore
Mr. Clay began to sp nk. an exit or an
entrance were equally impossible to
those within or without. Perhaps so
limited a space was never so well idle I.
The gentlemen tilled the straight
gallery, which was better known as
“the Calcutta black hole,” to its utmost
capacity. The railings of the seats,
and the seats th< m-clvea were all
crowded, and the people seemed to bo
literally piled on» upon another. Th.'
lad es’ gallery was filleilalinostentire.y
with ladies, and the circle there pr -
sonted as much of grace, elegance mid
dignity as ever adorned any publ c
assembly. It was a scene which might
well have called forth the admiration
of the sterner and the conrsrsex below
and around. The chamber, before. Mr.
Clay rose, was literally wreathed in
smiles and beauty, ami it was a scene
beautiful to look upon, until the event
which had called so many together
took place, in the earnest, sweet-spoken
final farewell, whieh came from tho
lips of the orator and reached every
heart Along tho central entrance
to the chamber the crowd was
qnally dense, and upon either side
aere, though far out of sight, and out
of hearing, too, ladies were seated, all
anxious to catch atone of a voice wlii< h
for so many years had always told like
the sweetest notes of the lark in the
ears of the whole, female sex. Senators
of all parties gave the most respectful
attention, while the representatives
flocked in from the House and occupied
the privileged scats round about the
chamber. Then came the address for
it was more of an addre-s than aspeec i
— the published report of which is only
the body of a beautiful oration without
the soul. The spirit whieh kindled, the
fire which burned, are not there.
Words are as cold as marble without
the divine afflatus which could almost
give life and action to the dead. The
picture presented in such a congrega
tion of people was not onlvfair enough
tnd perfect enough in all its propor
tions to charm tlie eye, but it was a
scene which might have given, either
in the sympathy created or the pride
excited, a feeling but little less than
one ins; ¡red. The ladies, who were all
hope and buoyan y a moment before,
were now, “like Niobe, all tears.”
Mr. Clay in speaking of himself, of his
friends, of the noble State of Kentucky
where lie had been received as a son
forty-live years since, was himself quite
unmanned. Others were much more af
fected. and many of the old st Sennt< rs
were in tears many times while Mr,
Clay was speaking. Mr. Clay left the
storm and turmoil of public life, as Im
thought forever, with an enviable rep
utation for statesmanship, for patriot
ism and for eloquence, and his last act
was to present the credentials of .Mr.
Crittenden as his successor, and to
speak of him in the most excellent
terms. Seven years later Mr. Clay re
turned to the Senate and served until
