"Yes, I have," replied Hicks. "Then we are all. right. I think I aim carry a part, and if you will play- to Mii Blood's singing "e - o Try it this evening, if you like," said Wtheellotahe_r. deu't know. Perhaps _see hadhn't better begin this evening." Staniford laughed at Dunham's ember- raesment. "You might have a sacred concert,' •snd Mr. Hicks could represent. the idioms and cymbals with his flute." Dunham looked sorry for Staniford'a saying this. Captain Jenness stared at • himas if his taking the names of these scriptural instruments in vain was a kind of blasphemy, and Lydia *seemed puzzled and a little troubled. I didn't think of its being Sunday," saictificks, with what Staniford felt to be a cunning assumption of manly frankness, "or any more Sunday than usual; seems as if we had had a month of Sundays already since wt 1 sailed. I'm not much on religion myeelf, but I shouldn't like to interfere with other people's principles." Staniford was vexed with himself for his scornful pleasantry, and vexed with the others for takkrigr it so seriously and heavily, and puttin,g him so manecessar- ilkin the wrong. He was angry with Dunham, and he said to Hicks, "Very just sentiments. "lam glad you like them," replied Hicks, with sullen apprehension of the offensive tone. Staniford turned to Lydia. "1 sup - p086 that in South Bradfield your Sab- bath is over at sundown on Sunday evening." "That used to be the custom," ans- wered the girl. " I've heard my grand- father tell of it." Oh, yes," interposed Captain Jen- ness. They used to keep Saturday night down our way, too. I can re- member when I was a boy. It came pretty hard to begin so soon, but it seemed to kind of break it, after jai, haring a night in." The captain dicl not know what Stani- ford began to laugh at. "Our Puritan ancestors knew just how much human nature could stand, after all. We did not have an uninterrupted Sabbath till the Sabbath had became much milder. IS:that it ?" The captain had probably no very clear notion of what this meant, but simply felt - it to be a critical edge of some sort. " I don't know as you can have too much religion," he remarked. "I've seen some pretty rough custom- ers in the church, but I always thought, What would the y be out of it !" "Very true !" said Staniford, smiling. He wanted to laugh again, but he liked the captain too well to do that; and then he began to rage in his heart at the general stupidity which had placed him in the -attitude of mocking at religion, a thing he would have loathed to do. It seemed to him that Dunham was in- swerahle for his false position. "But we shall not see the right sort of Sabbath till Mr. Dunham gets his Catholic church fully going," he added. They all started, and looked at Dun- ham as good Protestants must when some one whom they would never have suspected of Ca.tholicism turns out to be a Catholic. Dunham cast a reproachful glance at his friend, but said simply, "I ana a Catholic,—that is true; but I do not admit the pretensions of the Bishop of Rome." The rest of the company apparently could not fellow him in making this distinction; perhaps some of the did not quite know ;rho the Bishop of Rome was. Lydia continued to look at him in fascination; Hicks seemed dis- posed to whistle, if such a thing were allowable; Mr. Watterson devoutly waited for the captain. "Well," ob- served the captain at last, with the air of giving the devil his due, " I've seen some very good people among the Catholics." • "That's so, Captain Jenness," ;mid the officer. "I don't see," said Lydia, without re- laxing her gaze, "why, if you are a Catholic, you read the service of the Protestant church." "It is not a Protestant church," ans- wered Dunham, gently, "as I have tried to explain to you. "The Episcopalian," demanded Cap- tain Jenness. "The Episoopalia," sweetly reiter- ated Dunham. "1 should like to know what kind of a church it is, then," said Captain Jen - nese, triumphantly. "An Apostolic church." Captain damns= rubbed his nose, as if this was a new kind ef church to him. "Founded by Saint Henry VIII.hinz- self interjected Staniford. "No, Staniford," said Dunham, with a soft repressiveness. And now a threat- ening light of zeal began to burn in his kindly eyes. These souls had plainly been given into his hands for ecclesias- tical enlightenment. "If our friends will allow me, I will explain "— Staniford's shaft had recoiled upon his own head. " 0 Lord !" he cried, getting up from the table, " I can't stand this!' The others rewarded him, as he felt,even to that weasel of a Hicks, as a sheep of uncommon blackness. He went on deck, and 'smoked a cigar without re- lief. He still heard the girl's voice in singing ; and he Btill felt in his nerves the quality of latent passion in it which had thrilled him when she sang. His, thought ran formlessly upon her fu- ture, and upon _what sort of being was already fated to waken her to those pos- sibilities of intense suffering and joy which he imagined in her. A wound at his heart, received long before, hurt vaguely; and he felt old. (To be continued.) Five O'Clock Tea, and How to Serve It. First, we have the elaborate affair which is heralded by formally engraved notes of invitation. A strip of carpet is spread from the curbstone to the door. If the day be rainy an awning the entire length is erected for pro- tection. Everything else muet be ,in keeping. From this they grade down to the simple, practical, every day "5 o'clock," conducted with the charm- ing simplicity which has made it so justly popular. The lady simply uses her visiting card for invitations, writing below her name the date and '•5 O'Clock Tea" in the lower left hand corner. The manner of dispensing refresh- ments differs somewhat in different citiea, but in the main is much the same. An easy cordiality en the part of the hostess, an assured welcome, quiet ser- vice, with light and delicate refresh- ments are the essentials. A child with a little previous training may act as usher. The hostess stands near or oppo- site the door ot the reception room while receiving, and, if the tea is given in honor of a friend, this friend stands be- side her and is presented to the guests, with whom she is unacquainted, as they greet the hostess. The guests do not sit at table, but with plate and cup in hand remain standing, and at a sufficient distance from the table to afford a free passage- way for the waiters who supply them either from the table or from the pantry with refreshments in their order. Some- times, if the hostess have a spacious dip- ing rootn and the company is limited, chairs are rauged about, or small lunch tables are scattered through the rooms. The tables are draped in pure white and each may have a low bowl of loosely ar- ranged roses or other flowers in its cen- ter. In either case the guests are served from the large table. This also is drap- ed in pure white. Since it is a tea, an ample amount of this beverage must be provided. Many people serve coffee or chocolate also, but not necessarily. If one have a handsome chocolate set it adds much to the beauty of the table ; it occupies one end, while the tea service is placed at the other. This brings up the query about steeping the tea, The kettle is kept steaming and swinging above the spirit lamp until all are served. A maid is instructed to keep this replenished from the reserve supply. This is done quietly and is scarcely noticed. If the hostess has a daughter she usually pours the tea ; if not, some intimate young lady fr,,iend is honored with the position ; or, at the pleasure of the hostess, a neat maid may do this serviae. A waiter places the cups upon a salver or waiter covered with a tray cloth and hands them to the guests. By the way, it is fashionable to make tea much weak- er than fottperly—a teaspoonful to half a pint of water yielding a very strong product. A full pint of water added to a teaspoonful makes a pleasant beverage. Sugar and cream should be passed with it. Sliced lemon is often passed in a,ddie tion to these, as many porsons use it in- stead of cream, after the Russian fash- ion. Provide plenty of delicate sand- wiches, and with a salad, wafers and fancy cakes nothing more is required. Of course one may serve ices if a more elabotate bill of fare be desired. Later in the season strawberries with ice cream and plain cake are sometimes served. There is man in our town And he is very wise, sir, When e'er he don't feel just right One remedy he tries, sir.

She suddenly rose in the meeting and spoke as follows: "Married to a drunkard! Yes, I was married to a drunkard. Look at -me ! I am talking to the girls." We all turned and looked at her. She was a wan woman, with dark, sad eyes, and white hair, placed smoothly over a brow that denoted intellect. "When I married a drunkard, I reached the acme of misery," she con- tinued. "I was yonng, and oh, so happy! I married the man I loved, and who profeased to love me. He was a drunkard, and I knew it -knew it, but did not understand it. There is not a young girl in this building that does understand it, unless she has a drunkard in her family; then perhaps she knows how deeply the iron enters the soul of a w oman when she loves and is allied to a drunkard, whether father, husband, brother or son. Girls, believe me when I tell you that to tios.rry a drunkard, to love a drunkard, is the crown of all misery. I have gone through the deep waters, and know. I have, gained that fearful knowledge at the expense of hap- piness, sanity, almost life itself. Do you wonder my hair is white? It turn- ed white in a night--* bleached by sor- row,' as Marie Antoinette said of her hair. I am not forty years old, yet the snows of seventy rest upon my head, and upon my heart—ah! I cannot begin to count the winters resting there," she Raid, with unutterable pathos in her voice. "My husband was a professional men. His calling took him from home fre- quently at night, and when he returned, he returned drunk. Gradually he gave way to temptation in the day; until he Was rarely sober. I had two lovely lit- tle girls and a boy." Here her voice faltered, and we sat indeep silence lis- tening to her story. My husband had been drinking deeply. I had not seen him for two days. One night I was seated beside my sick boy; the two lit- tle girls were in the bed in the next room, while beyond was another room, into which I heard my husband go, as he entered the house. That room com- municated with the one in which my lit- tle girls were sleeping. I know not why, but a feeling of terror suddenly took possession of me, and I felt that my little girls were in danger. I arose and went to the room. The door was locked. I knocked on it frantically, but no an- swer came. 1 eemed to be endowed with super -human strength, and throw- ing myself with all my force against the door, the lock gave way, and the door flew open. Oh, the sight ! the terrible sight ! ' she wailed in a voice that haunts me now; and she covered her face with her hands, and when she removed them it was whiter and sadder than ever. "Delirium tremens! You have never seen it girls; God grant you never may. My husband stood beside his bed, his eyes glaring with insanity, and in his hand a large knife., Take them away!' he screamed. The horrible things, they are crawling all over me. Take them away, I say !' and he flourished his knife in the air. Regardless of the danger, I rushed up to the bed, and my heart seemed suddenly to have ceased beating. There lay my children, cov- ered with their own life -blood, slain by their own father! For a moment I could not utter a sound. I was literally dumb in the presence of this terrible sorrow. I scarcely heeded the maniac 8 by my side—the man who had. wrought me all this woe. Then I uttered a load scream, and my wailings filled the air. The servants heard me and hastened to the room, and when my husband saw them he suddenly drew the knife across his own throat. I knew nothing more. I was borne senseleas from the room that contained Tny slaughtered children and the body of my husband. The next day my hair was white, and my mind so shattered that I knew no one." - She ceased! Our eyes were rivetted upon her wan face, and some of the wo- men present sobbed aloud, while there was scarcely a dry eye in that temper- ance meeting. So much sorrow we thought, and through no fault of her own, We saw that she had not done speaking, and was only waiting to sub- due her emotion to resume her story. "Two years," she continued, "1 was a mental wreck •, then Frecovered from the shock, and absorbennyself in the, care of my boy. But the sin of the father was visited upon the child, and six months ago my boy of eigh- teen was placed in a drunkard's grave; and as I, his loving mother'stood and saw the sod heaped over him, I said, Thank God herd rather to see him there than have him Jive a drunkard;' and I turned unto my desolate home a childless woman—one on whom the hand of God had rested heavily, " Girls it is you I wish to rescuefrom the fate that overtook me. Do not blast your life as I blasted mine ; do not be drawn into the madness of marrying a drunkard. You love him! So much the worse for you, for married to him, the greater will be your misery because of your love. You will marry him and then reform him, so you say. Ah! a woman sadly overrates her strength when she undertakes to do this. You are no match for the giant demon Drink when he possesses a man's body and soul. You are no match for him, I say. What is your puny strength beside his gigantic force? will crush yeti, too. It is to save you girls from the sorrows which wrecked my happiness that I have unfolded my history to you. I am a stranger in this great city. I am mere- ly passing through it; and I have a message to bear to every girl—never marry a drunkard." I can see now as she stood amid the hushed audience, her dark eyes glowing, and her frame quivering with emotion, as she uttered her impassioned appeal. Then she hurried out, and we never saw her again. Her 'words fitly spoken,' were not without effect, however, and because of them there is one girl single now.—Railway Signal for August. The Highway Cow. The hue of her hide was dusky brown, Her body was lean and her neck was slim ; One horn was turned up and the other turned down, She was keen of vision and long of limb; With a Ronian nose and a short stump tail, And ribs like the hoops on a homemade pail. Many a !eerie did her body bear, She had been a target for ;all things known ; On many a scar the dusky hair Would grow no more where it once had grown; Many a passionate, parting shot Had left upon her a lasting spot. Many and many a well -aimed stone, Many a brickbat of goodly size, And many a cudgel swiftly thrown Had brought the team) to her loving eyes, Or had bounded off from her bony back With a noise like the sound of a rifle crack. Many a day had she passed in the pound For helping herself to her neighbor's corn ; Many acowardly cur and hound Had been _transfixed on her crumpled horn ; Many a teapot and old tin pail Had the farmer boys tied to her time -worn tail. Old Deacon Gray was a pious man, Though son3etimes tempted to be profane, When many a weary mile he ran - To clrive her out of his growing grain, Shan& were the pranks she used to play tl To ge her fill and to get away. She k ew when the deacon weat to town, Showieely watched when he passed by: He never passed her without a frown, And an evil gleam in each angry eye; He would crack his whip in a surly way, And drive along in his one-horse shay." Then at his homestead she loved to call, Lifting hie bars with crumpled horn; Nimbly scaling his garden wall, Helping herself to his standing corn: Eating his cabbages one by one, 'Hurrying home when her work was done. His human passions were quick to rise, And striding forth with a savage cry, With fury blazing from both his eyes, As lightning lash in a summer sky, Redder and redder his face would grow, And after the creature he would go. Over the garden, round and round, Breaking his pearand apple trees • Tramping his melone into the ground, Overturning his hives of bees, Leaving him angry and badly stung, Wishing the old cown3 neak was wrung. The mosses grew on the garden *all, , The years went by with their work and play, , The boys of the village grew strong and tall, • And the gray-haired farmers passed away One by one, as the red leaves fail; But the highway cow out-lieed them all. —From "The Humbler Poets." A Dog's Value to a Railroad. A valuable railroad "hand," who in spite of his services, probably receives no salary, is thus described in the Scientific American. , He resides lit Salida, Colorado, and belongs to an engineer of the Denver &I Rio Grande railroad: "Napoleon has been engaged for the last two and a half years in helping his master run locomotive No. 86. His ap- prenticeship began at the age of six months, and he can now go into the round -house, where twenty-eight en- gines are kept, single out and mount his own machine, and, in the absence of his master and the firemandefend it against all intruders. He rides on the fireman's side of the cab, with both his front paws and his head hanging out of the window, intently watching the track. "He often scents cattle ata long dfs- tance. When they appear in sight he becomes greatly excited and looks first. at them and then at his master, as though trying to musks the latter under- stand the gravity of the situation. "On a nearer approach to them he gives a cry similar to that of a human being. If it is necessary. to come to a stop he bounds out of the cab, runs ahead, and drives' the trespassers out of harm'e Way. " When it is desirable to communicate with .the pumping -stations, frequently at a long distance from the track, a note is written and given to the dog, who de- livers* and speedilY returns with a re- ply. "He readily interprets signals to start froth his own engine, but pays no more attention to the whistles and bells of other locomotives than to the .cattle which are safely grazing by the road- side. If accidentally left at any of the stations he returns to Salida by the next train.
