THE   GOLDEN   GURU
' Within my hand I hold a curl
Of sort and silken hair; It twines about iny finger tips
As if somo life were tiiero; It niove.s my heart with strangest powt^
Ami sw(!eps each trembling string. For, from tliat golden lock of hair
A thousand mem'ries spring. ,'
The tears from eyes unused to weep
Have dimmed its luster now. For oh, that golden tross of hair
Once waved upon a brow As fair as over sunbeams kissed;
Its beauty now has fled, , This link alono remains to bind
My spirit to tho dead.
My thoughts rove back to days of youti,
Thoso joyous hapijy hours, Whon hand in hand wc often roamed
In search of wildwood flowers, Outriv'llng all tho birds of spring
Iu merry girlish glee; For we were ja.st as gl-.idsomo then      ;
As cliildhood e'er could bo.
Then we had never dreamed that grief Could blight glad heiirts liko ours;
That sharpest thorns lie oft concealed 'Nearth earth's most beauteous floweri;
We ne'er had thought that aujUt on earth Our happy lives could part,
Or darksome shadows ever cloud L Tho sunshine of tho heart.
Bu! all too soon that .orentlo girl      '
Was lying p lie aud still. And Ul my heart tliero was a void
That naught on earth could till. Since ihon, alas, full oft I've seen
••Friend after friend d^'part " And death's darlc shadow oftjr dim
Tho sunlight of the heart.
IC'en now I wander to tho stream       '^•
Where wo so often met. And, llst'ning to the murm'ring dream.
She lingers with nii! yot. I alm'jst see her sunnv faoe . Upon the dancing w.ive;
}     My heart-strings clingin r round tho stream
Lilte vine wreaths o'er a grave. '<
O polden curl, tho brow on which
Thou didst so lightly play Wilh all its sister tressos, noflr
Is molderiiig away. And thou alone art left to speak
Of her I ne'er shall see; .    '
Though but a simple lock of hair V.
Thou'rt all the world to me.

FOUND WANTING.
How Tiny  Discovered a Suitor's Un-worthiness.
Tiny Clarence sat in her pretty littlo parlor as abriybt tropical bird balances itself on the swaying lioughs of a palm tree, for the carpet was of green and the window draperies woro green, and the walls woro just Lintod of Ijfcat deli¬ cate sea-green that shines translucently through tho rolling billows of the deep; and she herself, curiously carrying out tho unity of things, woro a dross of soft green cashmero, with silver lilies in her hair.
Her real name was Flora, but people called her Tiny; it was a pot namo she had ever since sho could remember— perhaps because she was small and dimpled and fairy-like, and had a fash¬ ion of nestling down on low ottomans and littlo footstools instead of perching herself on big, stiff chairs, lilte full- sized mortals.
She was very fair, with a transparent skin, flushed -svith pale roses, and hair like floss-silk, where tho burnished shadows came and wont in golden glimmers; while her blue eyes were full of sweet, wistful expression—a human lily of tho valley, in short.
At least, so Ernest Sargent thought, as ho sat looking at hor, with his heart in his eyes.
"You will not give me the answer, then, which is to seal my fate?"
••Not this morning. Mr. Sargent."
"Why not? I havo surely tho right to ask the question?"
"lam not altogothor cortain that I have mado up my mind, Mr. Sargent."
Ernest's eyes brightened.
"You will give me tho benefit of the doubt, thon?"
"I can't tell you just yot; I don't know myself. Can not you compre¬ hend, Mr. Sargent?" she added, with a sudden spark of impatienco in hor soft eyo, "that this matter of marriage is, with ns women, some thing more im¬ portant than tho selection of a favorite Bhadc in silks or the color of the spriug ribbon?"
"I stand rebuked," he said, rising end bowing somewhat ceremoniously. "To-morrow morning, then, I am to call and get my answer."
"Yes, to-morrow morning, if you li'Kc."
So Ernest Sargent bent his head over Tiny Clarence's little roseleaf of a hnn(\ and wont his way.
'WoU. my doar." said Mrs. Clarence, !is Tiny came slowly upstairs, twisting ^l>c green tassels that hung from her Waist, "what havo you decided?"
"1 have decided upon nothing at all •^s yet, mamma!"
'•i>oii't you like Mr. Sargent!*"
"Yes," answered Tiny, after a mo- 'ii-'iU or two of grave consideration; "I ^'I'Poso 1 do."
'He Ls very rich, and, your father ^-ys. in a business whose profits are ^""Unually increasng. You would bo ^•'^^llhy, my child."
"^s wealth the first object in life, ^''iiiuna?''
"^'o; but it is moro or less im- V'n-Uini- and then Mr. Sargent is vei-y ^'^"Hlsome."
"i know it, mamma"

Vol. XXXV, No. 52
"But 1 am in earnest, Bridgtjt. I am going to see a poor woman who lives in a tenement house down town, and I would i-ather dress so as to attract no particular attention."
Bridget still stared, but she made no further opposition.
"1 can't understand at all, at all, so I can't," she said, shaking her frenzied head as she carried tbe aforesaid gar¬ ments into Tiny's room. "Sure, miss it's like dressin' the queen of the fairies up in a cabbage leaf. Your bonny face is lost entirely in the old bonnet, let alone the i leak covers you from head to foot, entirely."
"Never mind tbat, Bridget. Now lend me the vail.    There, that will do."
Tiny Clarence felt curiously unlike the aristocratic little queen of fashion that she was as she rode down town in the extreme corner of a Second avonue car, and alighted at length at a cross street, ¦whose narrow purlieus and swarming rows of tenement houses on either side betokened it the residing place of the poor.
Turning neither to the right hand nor to the left, Tiny Clarence kept on her way until at length she entered a dwelling somewhere in the middle of the block, and ascended tho long flight of carpeted wooden stairs which was common property to all the inhabit¬ ants.
Pausing at a door on tho fourth sto¬ ry, she knocked softly.
"Come in," was tho reply, and open¬ ing tho door Tiny Clarence entered.
It was a small room comparatively bare of furniture, but very neat A little bed occupied the farther corner of the rc^oih, and the smallest possible remnant of a fire smouldered in tho tiny grate, while one or two chairs and a pine tablo constituted all the rest of the outfittings.
Close to tho window a young woman sat sowing, while a crippled child play¬ ed on the floor at her feet She aroso as Tiny entered.
"Is it you, Miss Clarence?" she said, her pale faco momentarily dyed with a deep tinge of color, as she curtsied a timid welcome; "this is but a poor place for j'Ou Income."
"Miss Clarence!" repeated our littlo heroine, reproachfully. You used to call mo Tiny wh"n wo were schoolgirls together.   Helen!"
"liut there is such a gulf between us now!"
"Because you aro poor and I am rich? because you nre a forsaken widow an*! I am still tho favored child of fortune? Helen, you judge me unjustly!"
Helen Starr's eyes filled with tears.
"Dear Tiny, I will nover do so again."
"I brought you somo moro sewing," said Tiny, carelessly, as she sat down by the side of her sadly changed school¬ mate. "By the way, Helon^ do you still sew for Sargent & Copley? '
"Yea, I am going thero this afternoon to return some work and try to get a Ittle more."
"Ai'O you?"
Tiny strove to speak unconsciously, although tho deep crunson flushed her neck and brow.
"Would you object to my going with you? I—I have a great curiosity to see the inner workings of one of those great manufacturing establishments."
"I shall be glad of your company."
"Do they pay you well?" went on Tiny, alTecting to bo deeply interested in i-emoving a speck of mud from the hem of Bridget's brown cloth cloak. Mrs. Starr shook her head sadly.
"Starvation prices, Tiny, and Mr. Sargext has just cut down the wages one-quarter, Ho says times are hard and he can not meet expenses."
"Yet ho drives the handsomest horses in New York and lives in a brown stono palace," observed Tiny.
"I know it. but such is the universal justice between employer and em¬ ployed. We are powerless and tbey know it, these grinding rich people."
She was folding up the bundle of neatly sewn shirts as she spoke and putting on hor own worn and shabby garments.
"You will be good and quiet Charlie, and not go near the fire until mam¬ ma returns?' she added, pausing on the threshold.
"Yes, mamma." the child answered, with docile meekness.
He was accuslomcd to bomg left alone, poor liltle f> How, and then Helen and Tiny set forth together on an er¬ rand er.tirely novel to tho latter. "it was "pay dny" at the establish, ment of Sargent & Copley, and a long strin- of worn-looking women, some younj and some old. but all pale a^d pinched, like phuits that bad S^owntn shade, were waiting then- turn for the miserable remuneration due them.

So he wont on, quick to detect of imagine faults, vigorous to punish, merciless to exact fines, until scarcely one of the waiting throng received tho amount of money fairly duo her.
Wheu Helen Starr's name was caUed, she advanced timidly, with her brown- clad companiop at her side.
"Helen Starrf sharply enunciated Mr. Sargent, scrutinizing her roll of work. "Four dollars—deduct forty cents!"
"On what account sir?" faltered Mrs. Starr.
"Work soiled in making up—pass on!"
"You aro mistaken, Mr. Sargent, in¬ deed," pleaded Helen Starr; "the stains were in tbe linen when it was given out to ma It is not in the least soiled in my hands."
"I can't stop to argue matters with insolent sewing women in my em¬ ploy!" snarled Ernest Sargent "Take your $3.60, Mrs. Starr, without any more words, or leave the establish¬ ment We can get plenty of hands who won't tell lies."
Helen Starr grew crimson and then pale, but knowing her own utter help¬ lessness in the hands of this human vampire, she was about to tako the miserable sum tendered her and pass on her way when a low, soft voice at her side detained her.
"Helen, stop an instant Mr. Sar¬ gent," and turning back the long black vail which had hitherto concealed hor face. Tiny Clarence looked calmly into the rich bully's eyes. "I am sure that my friend, Mrs. Starr, speaks only the truth. You lose all claim to the name of gentleman when you allow yourself to speak thus insolently to aught bear¬ ing the stamp and image of refined wo¬ manhood."
"Miss Clarence," he stammered,over¬ come with confusion, "there is some mistake here.    I—"
"There is no mistake," she answered, calmly contemptuous. "I have been near making one that might have last¬ ed a lifetime, but my eyes are fortune- ately opened. Pay Mrs. Starr tho money rightly due her. and let us leave this den of money-making iniquity!''
Mr. Sargent paid Mrs. Starr the $4 with undisguised awkwardnes, and strove to detain Tiny as she turned away.
"Miss Clarence," he faltered, "will you allow me to explain—"
"No, Mr. Sargent" she answered, haughtily, "I will n»ver allow you to speak to me again!"
She kept her word. Ernest Sargent's nature had been tried in the balance of her womanly discrimination, and found wanting.
Tiny Clarence was heart-whole still! —Chicago Journal

THE  ANDES   MOUNTAINS.
The ••Backbono"   of   Two   Divisions   of   a Miglity Cuiitinent.
No wonder Humboldt waa enamored of the Andes. The whole of that vast mountain range, commencing in the Land of Fire, the southermost part of South America, ranging through the Cordilleras of the Isthmus, Central America and Mexico, and terminating with the Rocky Mountains in the Land of Snow, where the hunters of tha Hud- ' son Bay Company trap the animals that furnish the "fashionable furs," is thick set with wonders. It is a region of enchantment eight thousand miles long, presenting the most startling natural contrasts to be found on the faco of the earth. Ono reads the de¬ scriptions of it given by Humboldt and other travelers with sensations allied to those with which children devour the stories of Fairy Land.
Church, in his great picture, "The Heart of the Andes," has given the un- traveled world some idea of the valleys, beautiful as tho Vale of Tempo, which lie among the articulations of the back¬ bone of two mighty continents; but such specks of scenery afford no more idea of the Andes, as a whole, than would a chip from tho Phidian Jove give of the statue tbat astonished the ancient world. Neither pen nor pencil can do justice to those stupendous mountains that transpierce thj loftiest clouds and thrust their whito peaks into a realm of blue ether unvisitcd by any living creature save the condor that on "sail broad vans," six yards from tip to tip, soars around and above them.
Terrace upon terrace, from the level shores of the Pacific toward the inter¬ ior, the Andes slope upward to a height of more than twenty thousand feet; and in a day's jovirney from tho coast you may pass through the tem¬ peratures and productions of all the seasons of all the zones. And yet Americans go to Egypt to stare, awe¬ struck, at the Pyramids, without be¬ stowing a thought on tho thousands of leagues of sublime and magnificent landmarks that connect by an ascend¬ ing series of all the varieties of vegeta¬ tion, valleys of perennial bloom with the region of eternal snow. Mountains, like pt^ophets, seem to have little honor in their own hemisphere, and we snub Chimborazo to be thunderstruck at a few useless piles of stones reared by barbarous kings; whoso very names have ijorished.
Tho Andes are the world's unopened treasuries. Under their snows lie masses of crude wealth to which the gold harvests of California and Aus¬ tralia are but as a beggar's pittance. Geologists are of opinion that a large portion of tho Andes consists of metal¬ liferous rooks, and we know that most of tho extremities and spurs of the gi¬ gantic chain abound with gold and silver, and contain diamonds, rubies, emeralds,   opals   and   other   ppecious
stones. All that is required is a necro¬ mancer with an enchanted lamp, to lay bare heaps of regal ores and jewels that would outshine and outsparkle tho fabled treasures of the orient, and make the cave of Aladdin dim by comparison. Scienco, however, is a mightier on- chafiter than was evor dreamed of in Arabia, and one day the spells of this modern Merlin may lay bare tho ex- haustless veins of gold and silver and the nests of gems stored under the snows of the Andes. —iJ. Y. Ledger.
ANECDOTES OF BISHOP.
How   the    Mind-Reader   Amused   a   Gaj Party at Uoiioliilu.
Harrison Millard, the ballad-singer, who accompanied the late Washington Irving Bishop on his mind-reading tours, tells the following anecdotes of him: While in Honolulu, ho was pass¬ ing the evening with a small but very gay party. One of the ladies expressed her disbelief in tbo power of any hyp- notizer to influence her. Mr. Bishop experimented upon her in the usual way, and when he ordered her to re¬ main rigid with her arms extended, no force could bend her limbs. As sho 'vfaa sitting on a chair, her foot was raised, so that her log was out straight and rigid. The party, after tiring somewhat of the experiments, adjourn¬ ed to the piazza of the house. Mr. Bishop, as he passed by his subject in a joko elevated the limb still higher, until it was almost perpendicular, and then left her in that unique position. As the hour was late, and his horse was at the door waiting to carry him home about six miles away, he jumped in the saddle, entirely forgetting his subject inside. On his arrival home, he found the telephone-bell ringing as if pos¬ sessed of several evil spirits. Mr. Bish¬ op answered the call at onco. Ue was told that every means had been ex¬ hausted by the parties left behind in the house to got tho limb back to its normal position. They urged him to ride bade as fast as possible to relieve the subject from lier peculiar poso. He telephoned them to send for a doctor, who, by injecting a little morphine, could accomplish tho desired result The next time he met tho young lady she mado him promise on his wo-d of honor, never again to in any way exer¬ cise his hypuotic power over hor. and only on this condition was he pardoned for the cruel prnctical joke played upon her. On another occasion, in England, all the royal family, except tho queen, were present. The old Duchess of K—, who was quito a guy on account of hev age and eccentr cities, was also there. It was suggested by somo ono that the best hiding-place for the gold sovereign would bo insido the stocking of tha aged Duchess. She consented, and said she would bo convinced of Bishop's powers if he discovered where it was hid. Mr. Bishop, after a few moments' hesitation, went diroctly to her and im¬ pudently found tho coin with his deli¬ cate fingers concealed near her ankle. The aged dame expressed herself thor¬ oughly satisfied with his wonderful powers  of  divination.—San Francisco

OPTHALMIA   IN HORSES.
A.  Painfal     Affection     Whiclx      Requires JPrompt and Careful Treatment.
Opthalmia or inflammation of the eyes is a common affection, and usually a very painful one, among horses. The causes are various, but in all cases tha animal should be immediately placed In the shade, or, what is better, a dai-k stable, and cooling lotions applied to the eye. Sometimes inflammation of the eyes proceeds from some affection of the digestive organs, and raoderalo dottes of laxative medicines will prove vory beneficial. Aloes is the best phy¬ sic for the horse, and should be given in doses not exceeding four or five drachms. In no case should the animal be driven in the hot sun or tho eyes ex¬ posed to tho direct rays of the sun while they are inflamed. If treatment is neglected, the disease will usually advance until white sprcksorafilm ap¬ pear on the eyeball, follo'.vod by total blindness. Place j'our maie in a dark but well-ventilated stable. Then apply by means of a rag over the eyo a lotion made by dissolving twenty grains of ex¬ tract of acetate of lead and twenty drops of belladonna in one quart of pure soft water. After supplying this lotion a few days change it to one made of twenty grains of sulphate of zinc and twenty drops of tincture of Calabar bean in ono quart of water. Chango fhe cloths wet with thoso lotions two or threo times a day, and wash out tho eyes with warm wator every time tho cloths are changed. Give tho maro soft food, such as fresh cut grass, bran mashes and roots, if they are to be ob¬ tained. By careful attention we think the inflammation will bo reduced and the eyes restored to a healthful condi¬ tion in three or four weeks, if not sooner.—N. Y. Sun.

A Story of the Confederacy.
In December, 1861, a very swift and light blockade runner was captured off Wilmington, N. C. It had boen built for the purpose of running drug and medi¬ cines into the Confederacy, and had made a great many successful trips when, by a concatenation of circunistaDcesaiid acci¬ dents, one fo<:gy morning in December she found herself a long w ly outside of lier in¬ tended cour.se, and within three hundred yards of two United States cruisers, who iiDmediately cap: ured her without a strug¬ gle or any injury to the beautiful prize. One of the ofiicers who was present at her capture told me that lie had never seen in and ship such a combination of grace and swiftness. She was condemned and sold in New York on or about the 10th day of February,1865.
Four men became her owners, three of whom are dead and one is living. They had her machinery very carefully over¬ hauled, everything put in thoroughly good condition, and selected a captain who was known to thera all as not only a thorough seaman, but a man who could and would keep a still tongue. He was directed to coal up, proceed to Halifax, and there await orders. When he re¬ ceived a dispatch he said it meant that he was to start for Liverpot)! and go as fast as steam and wind could take him, and it was estimated that he would make the run in about three and a quarter days. He was given sealed orders and told that he would be instructed by telegraph when to open them. He sailed for Halifax Feb¬ ruary 18, 1865.
Time weut on. February passed away then Marcii, and the waiting captain got no word. He kept his fires banked and his men on board, as he had been told. April came, and at 4.30 on tiie Oth Cap¬ tain Blacht received a telegram contain¬ ing these words; "Go and execute the orders given you in sealed writing. Open them one day before you arrive in Liver¬ pool." This was all. At 7 P. M. he steamed out of Halifax harbor, and in tliree days and twelve hours he was drop¬ ping anchor in Mersey off Liverpool. When he arrived in Fastnet Light, the first light seen on the Irish coast, he open¬ ed bis orders. They simply directed hira to deliver two packages of papers inclosed to the adress on them as soon as he land¬ ed, at day or night, and then to report to a well-known firm of ship brokers for furti.'er orders, mean while to talk with nobody.   He obeyed them strictly.
A week after tbe arrival of this swift ship life mail steamers (there was no At¬ lantic cable till long after the war), brought the news of the surrender of Lee's und Johnson's armies, the final col lapse of the Confederate Slates Govern¬ ment and the flight of Mr. Davis and his Cabinet. Confederate bonds fell from about 35 to 40 cents to notliing. The American Minister in London, Mr. Charles Franris Adams, iminediately di¬ rected the United States Consuls at Liverpool, Manchester and in London to seize all the Confederate cotton in those cities and hold it till further orders. But when these oflicers attempted to ex¬ ecute these orders not a bale could be found.
Three million six hundred thousand dol¬ lars worth of cotton had dissapeared, and from tliat hour to this the United States Government has never been able to find a dollar's worth of it. Four persons who owned a very fast ship that sailed from Halifax on the evening of April 9, 1865, could tell where it went to, if they were disposed to do so and were all alive. But all four wbo planned this mighty coup are dead but one, who is an old man now in a Northern city and very rich. Among the four were two men who were noted in those days for tlieir wealth and devo¬ tion to the union and two southern men. One of them held a very high confidential position at tlie Confederate capital and the other vvas u very prominent confiden tial European agent of the Confederate Government. They made on tbe short sale of bends nut less than $12,000,000, and on the cotton aboul $3 600 (H)0 more- In otber woids. the four "landed"' about $4,000.OUO apiece, less the expense, which vvas not over $20 000 each fov the four. Such is one of i he curious inside incidents of tlie great war.

It believes that tho li:iuor traCBc as it exists to-day in the United States is tho enemy of society, a fruitful source of corruption in politics, the ally of an¬ archy, a school of crime, and, with its avowed purpose of eeeking to corruptly control elections and legislation, is a menace to the public welfare and deserves the condemna¬ tion of all good men. ^ , .
