Mine is a suggestive profession, said out host in the: Georgia parsonage, and there is more shade than light in the pictures of life presented to me -of life, did I say ? I might add the qualifying presence of death. Some of these touches furnish the light that Makes the shade endurable. Here is one, for instance. I was Galled one day to the death bed of an aged woman, a Georgia field hand, who lived in a rude cabin in the mountains sur- rounded by generations of her kin. I was a recant coiner then, and new to this strange ministry, so I dreaded to go among a people I believed to be ignorant and superstitious. in this spirit I went there to teach—I re- mainedto be taught. I found a crowd of oelored people in and around the cabin, and I thought they were there to make a holiday and get rid of work, but they had been holding a meeting, sing- ing the songs of their people and praying for the siok woman, and as 1 caught fragments of song and prayer, I wondered that they should have sent for me. Thesoene wary strongly spiritual. I felt myself lifted on the tide of native eloquence, and with all my oollege learning and pulpit experience, I could think of nothing as fine to say as the eloquence of these natural orators, whose preverted texts were the very poetry and rythm of nature. But they expected me, and I sat down by the bed on which the dying woman lay, and sew she was one of those mothers in Israel epeople. s been a leader with her who d Whit de light ?" she asked uneasily, and then I saw that death had stricken her blind. " It done gone out, mammy," mid a little pickaninny,, who could tell a He for love's sake.. "Ain't you got no candle ends?" " Dey done burn up." "' Wha de pine knot ?" Day done gone, suah." ""0, yese ob, little faith," said the strong voice of the dying woman. " Wha I done do, when the candle -end done gone, de pine knot burn out, de sun shut herself off, if I done see wif de faith ob de Lewd ? T keant see yose, but I can hear de roll ob de chawiot wheels—de chawiot wheels ob Israel."' And now happened one of those strange incongruities of time and circumstance rcumstance which seem to be developed by a prevereity of occasion. The old woman did bear wheels, for at that moment there drove up to the door with great dash and display one of those cumberecme red wagons, with high tops and gold mountings, that are need by manufacturers to attract attention to their wares. A gold painted telescope was focused on the top. The superstitious negroes gave way to this unaccustomed vehicle with its dashing pair of white horses, and stared at it with starting eyes. At once a shout was raised. " De chawiot on fire ! De chawiot aa'' de • bosses !' Deyif come for Mammy Tuzy-Ann, suah enuff V' The dying woman heard it ; over her furrowed features flowed a light of great joy. Tell de Lawd I'ae comin' ! hot him still till I gets dar. Bless his name. He ain't done forgotten his servant ! I'se waitin', Lewd, I'ee ready." She rose, mateetic in her blindness,- and leaning on thoke nearer her made a step or e two forward. Then She began to falter : I'ee goin' up—all his gibbers hes flowed ober me, but I'Se goin' up—the chawiot am come—I'sr-e-d-d-y." I helped to lay her on the bed she had just left. As I did so, the words seemed to form themselves on my lips The chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof ! ": Jess so," she answered, "'He neber done forgit His promise." And the smile that left the seal of im- mortality on her ashen face fixed every wavering faith in my soul, and united me to those lowly people by a tie that will never be broken. RUSTIC WORK DESIGNS. When appropriately located and properly constructed, rustic work finds a fitting and suitable place in many gardous and parks. Neer fine buildings and in trimly kept grou1d4 it is out of place ; here architectural structures are better. Most of us, however, have not this objec- tion to urge in favor of our own places, but have situations where something of a rustic character is admissible. Especially when there aro children visitors, or boarders to amuso them or entertain, it is desirable. A well-placed and constructed rustic shelter FIG. 1. COVERED GARDEN LATE. or arbor will often be as much occupied- dur- ing hat weather as any room in the house, and be a great relief to the, housekeeper. The best designs cannot be arbitrarily de tided, but should be suggested by condi- tions and situations. It is doubtful if any structure, besides the house, is often desir- able in small grounds. A little summer- house is nearly useless ; a large one takes room and makes the place seem small. A covered garden gate, with seats at the sides, serves a good purpose, and ie easily modified to suit other places. As rustic structures are only occupied in warm weath- er, it is a mistake to have the sides closely built, or so covered with vines.as to prevent_ the circulation of air, and make a harbor for insects. Sometimes, in exposed places, it is well to inclose some of the sides against high winds, but in sheltered spots the upper parts are best left open, as in Fig. 2, a gar- den house with a straw -thatched roof. When much occupied a good board or cement floor is best. It is well to pay especial at- tention to the proportions and outline of the roofs, the most conspicuous thing about them, and have them steep enough to shed rain easily. Roofs should be of *eneroue proportions, with eaves projecting far enough to afford ample protection against sun or showers, or there will • Cork Forests. Cork growing in Spain and Portugal is an extremely precarious business, and it de- mands coneiderable capital. Only the other day a man in New York City was seeking a partner with $100,000 to put into a cork forest in Spain, with a lease of 150 years. The bsrk is cut once in ten years, but as the forests are very large the grower manages to obtain an annual crop. Crude cork comes over to America in great bales weighing from 175 to 225 pounds each. The hest to which it is subjected in order to flatten out its curves also drive out most of the insects, such as one would naturally. expect to find in bark. As cork is too light to form a cargo of itself, the cork -carrying vessels also bring oil, olives,wine and heavy merchandise of various sorts. • A Bear's Gratitude. - There seems to be little of " the devil take the hindmost " policy about old Bruin. He is not only capable to take care of him- self, but he can remember a favor at least as long as his benefactor is actually before him. Our Dumb Animals tells the follow- ing good etory " A gentleman, making, inquiries in Rus- sia about the method of catching bears in that country, was told that to entrap them a pit was dug several feet deep, and, after covering it with _ turf, leaves, etc., some food was placed - on the top. The bear tempted by the bait, easily fell into the snare. - " But," he added, "if four or five hap- pen to get in together, they will all get out again." " How is that ?" asked the gentleman. " They form a sort of ladder by stepping on each other's ehoulders, and thus make their escape." "But how does the bottom one get out ?" " Ah ! these bears, though not possessed of a mind and soul, such as God has given tie, yet feel gratitude ; and they won't for- get the one who has been the chief means of procuring their liberty, Scampering off, they fetch the branch of a tree, which they let down to their brother, enabling it to join them in the freedom in which they rejoice," " Sensible bears, we would say, are bet- ter than. some people that we hear about who never help anybody but themselves.

Guard against having the eaves so low las id ' to obstruct the view while standinginss A similar design was carried out oan ex -I posed hilltop, with great satisfaction to the owners. The trunks of eight straight oak trees, about ten inches in diameter at the base, and somewhat smaller at the top, were saved when the woods were thinned out on the side of the hill,and form the sup- ports for floor and an eight -sided roof of shingles. Six feet from the ground a board floor was built in, and the whole structure braced from the center, and steadied by a wall of heavy stones built from the uprights as high as the floor. A flight of steps, balustrade and railing, made from the branches of the trees, completed it, and it was furnished with seats, fixed and move- able, and a table. At this height the view is unobstructed, while the stone ballast pre- vents unpleasant vibrations. Fig. 3 represents an idea that has been carried out in the garden at Lake Mohonk. The unsightly stumps of trees, taken from the ground and piled together, form the foundation, while the root of a small cedar tree, turned upwards, snakes the center pole. The whole, stumps and structure, are thickly entwined with a growth of the common hoary clematis, making fin object • fit Reee but a summerhouse' with. the upper part fitted for English sparrows will soon become so untidy as to unfit it for other use. Sitcom . with one attempt at rustic work often induces people to continue thou efforts too long a11(1 over do it. Study tho fitness of the object or the situation. Pub nothing in unlefes of apparent use or coo - fcn-t, and then think out a well-proportion- ed ornamental form: Make comfort beautiful. Do not place seats on an open lawn be- cause they make a show ; no one wants to sit in the hot sun. Under the shade of a tree they are often better than the most elaborate structures, Make them comfort-. able, and to this end have the back of the seats a little lower than the front, of differ- ent heights and widths, with stnall ones for children. Use no paint or varnish, under any circumstances.—John De Wolf, Supt. Prospect Park, Brooklyn. FIG. 3. SUMMER, HOUSE AT LAKE MAHONK. of great beauty over an ugly frame. The use of vines on rustic work is most appro- priate and fitting, but they are purposely omitted from the accompanying sketches in order to show the construction. Another example from the. same locality is the um- brella, Fig, 4. A strong center pole sup- ports a frame of saplings, in general con- straetion like an umbrella frame, on which is a. straw thatch, snaking one of the moat unique rustic structures possible. Another • more easily constructed one is sometimes sailed a wigwam shelter. Three or four tree trunks are securely fastened together near their tops, with their butts spread apart, while at a height that will be above the heads of tall people is nailed a cover of straight branches. This is suitable for - a situation difticult'of access, where shade is wanted for hot and tired pedestrians for a short time only. Summer, between haying and fall work, .s usually the time rustic houses must be wilt, but winter or early spring is the best to make moveable pieces under cover, seats, gates, tables, etc. When the woods Ire free from growing leaves is the time to we and select curved and twisted boughs to it particular places, incl skill in this often leads to success and ns a great pleasure to me having a taste for it. Observatories can often be built about old trees to advantage. Well curbs atul spring houses, bridges, boat houses and landing stages, trellises, arbors, pigeon houses and shelters for other fancy poultry, are good subjects for rustic work, Fla. 4. RUSTIC UMBRELLA. How the Feud Began. Thompson's boy was tall and slim, An' pleggy nigh a fool ; Thompson, though, was proud o' him, _ And evening, arter school, Ust to take him with him when He went to set aroun' An' argy politics with men That loafed about the town. Notbin' tickled Thompson more Than hearin' Tobie shout, So he ust to git the floor An' draw the. urchin out ; Then he'd stand a -looking proud, Thinkin' : "Ain't he smart 7" Never noticing the crowd One by one depart. Wall, one evenin' on the street Thompson showed him off 'Mong some men he chanced to meet, One of which was Goff. Goff was sort o' cross that day, Wasn't feelin' right, An' I reckon, truth to say, Wasn't jest perlite. Thompson bimeby shouted out, Pullin' Goff aroun', "Don't ye reckon he's erbout The rarest boy in town ?" "Yeas," says Goff, he 'pears ter be A little underdone ; Pd bake him over, seems ter me, Ef I had each a son." That was forty years ago, But ever sence that night The Globs and Thompsons hated so They always shot at sight : An' only one is left today ; He's up in Illinoy, As rich as mud, I've heard 'ern say ; Which same is Thompson's boy. —From The Argonaut. A Slagle Belt Reversing Counter Shaft. A very original device, by a Rhode Is- land inventor, is a sia&le belt reversing counter shaft.._ The pulley upon which the. belt runs is loose upon the shaft, and at one side is a flange or enlargement, the in- side of which is tapered to the proper angle to form with a ring of equal diame- ter a friction .clutch that can be operated in the ordinary manner by the shifting lever, and causes the shaft to rotate in the same direstion as the pulley ; the latter does not have its bearing directly on the shaft, but on a sleeve which is also loose on the shaft and passes through the hub of the pulley, outside of which it carries an ars resting on a fixed support, so that the sleeve is prevented from turning and al- ways remains stationary. Inside the pulley is fixed a gear wheel fast to the pulley, which by means of intermediate gears drives a friction disk. The result of Shim arrangement is that the disk revolves at all times in the opposite direction to that of the pulley ; and the friction ring, which is attached to an exterior disk, can, by be- ing . moved lengthwise in the shaft, be made to engage with either the pulley or the contrary driven disk. The gears are en, tirely enclosed and covered up The outer disk is moved forward and back to engage with eitherfriction byw • cranks pivoted on studs that pass bell ss through a collar on the shaft and engage with the shaft itself, the hub of the disk sliding on this. collar. Humorous Fancies. There is a wide difference in horse sense and horse talk. . A cyclone is all that is necessary to raise -- a barn in the West. An argument results from the collision of two -trains of thought. In politics it is usually the financial wave that catches the floaters. It is a pull for life when a man gets at a whiskey bottle to cure a snake bite. "What -is so rare' as steak well done ?" said the Janie poet sadly to himself, as he contemplates) the ill-cooked'nleat. • One can't judge of the average boy's in- tellect lay the little evidence of "mind" he gives when his mother speaks to hien. The ideal resort would be a place where you had to sleep under blankets in .July and didn't have to sleep under blankets in January. A Prince Earns His Living, The Duke of Oporto, brother of the King of Portugal, is a fine player, 'and pays the salaries of a complete orchestra so as to have the men constantly at his palace. A year or two ago he made abet with one of the nobles of the court that he would earn his living for a week with his flute. He got leave of absence, went to _Madrid, travel- ling as an ordinary individual, without any- body being aware of his identity, and ob- tained a_ situation in the orchestra of the Madrid Opera House, giving great satisfac- tion during the few days that he attended to his duty. He returned to Lisbon with his discharge and a letter of recommenda- tion to the chief of his own orchestra, in addition to $14 in wages. IM PORTANT NOTICES.
