You may build you un elegant mansion And fence it around wiUvRold.

Set it all with diamomU and rubies;You may keep out the wind and cold.

You may banish from it all intruders,Have music and levity there;

You may shut out discord and envy —Hut you can not shut out care.

You may build you a lowly cottage,You may paint it all in white,

Grow vines and shade-trees about it,Let in only sunshine and light;

You may keep out the envy and malice That wrinkle the faces we wear,

You may keep love inside, and content­ment—

But you cannot keep out care.

You may sing with the voice of an angel, You may dance with a fairy’s feet,

You may laugli till your laughter makes music

For rvqry one that you meet:You may dance till yonr fe«t seem twink­

ling,Till the roses fade in your hair,

You may dance till the worlddies of envy —■ But you can not dance away care.

You niay smile in tlie faces tff women Who envy your very life,

As you hide from their eyes all tl.e burdens, The wcarines.a, heart aches and strife;

You may live so the jioor will adore you, Live a life tliat the world calls fair;

You may let love be conquered by duty— But you can not live without cure.

Rodney Shij)ton wa.s a southern boy, and, like many a northern lad, he wuvs ambitious.Like many a northern lad, too, his parent.s were poor ami uriuhle to do for their son as they could h3vVe wished. But they sent him to school until lie was 14 years old, and then, at Rod’s earliest request, they sent him to a school of telegraphy for a year, w'here Rodney learned to send ami receive messfiges over the wonderful ami mysterious wires.

E’er Rod was by no means content with the humdrum hfe on the twenty acre lot in Mississippi which his father culled the farm. It was well enough, lie alwiiyssaiil to himself and his chums, for “ old folks’ who were satisfied to raise corn and tobac­co, and know nothing of the great world around them, save what they read in the weekly paper. But that wouldn’t suit Rod Shipton—“ not much it wouldn’t."

No, Rodney was anxious to start, bright and early, into I he thick of the tlglit—into j the front ranks of those who are takin; part in life’s great battles.

But Rodney Shipton soon discovered i well havethat even those who are willing to do I living on a desert island in the midst

which the superinlendent preseiUed to our young friend, ami so Rodney Biiipton thought. He stammered somewhat as he replied:

“ You see, sir, I thought some of a job in the city; amt then, .sir, U10 pay—It's awLil small; father pays Uiat for a hired nmu when lie wants one on the fariii, but but - yes. sir. I guess I’ll lake liie job in Snow- fluke City."

“ Look here, rny lad," said the superin­tendent, laying his Imml with much kindly feeling upon Rod’s shoukler, “ I Know ; just how you feel iihoul it. I was a hoy j myself once, just about ymir size, ami will just as mueh of a desire to do something | big us you liavc. Hut I shut d In clear at t le bottom ; yes, lower tluui you will have j to do, and I stuck to it, ami think I did my i duty. You do tlie same, ami we expect \ no more of the best paid man on the road."

Ami the very next day Rodney Shipton. instead of tramping hack to his fiithrr's farm, took tlie train to Snowflake City.

Tlie friendly words of the ‘ofllcial who was now his chief hud encouraged him greatly, and he resolved to “ stick it out" at Snow flake, no maU(‘r wliat might hap­pen, until his ability should be recognized by Ilia employers.

If the picture of Snowflake City, which Superintendent Slehliins tiad outlined, wa.« a dark one, llie reality was still more black am! iimittraclive to Kodney. 'I'he nelgli- boriiood itself was most uninlcre^ting; Nature had done as liltle as possible, it seenieil; and the inhabitnut.s were even more uncouth tluin tlicir surroumliiigs. The men were of the roughest and most ignorant type, w'hile such women and <‘liildren as graced or disgraced - the set­tlement were nearly akin to the men in their tastes ami hahils. Not tliat there were a great many of these people, for within a very wide radius of Snowflake station there wu're not more lliau a iiumlred human beings, wiio were about evenly di- vided lietw'cen blacks and whites.

A.s for Itod, ho made his hemhjuarters attlie eabin, which was known as “ the Stu­fftion." At first he tried boarding at “ the store," which was also a hotel and saloon, j but he Anally came to tlie conclusion that he had better “ keep liouse" in the little cahin, which now iiccatne for him kitclieii, parlor, bedroom ami ollice all rolled into one. *

It was truly alone.somcsjmt, ami through the long early summer days iiml the weird nlglits. wlien the lireezes soughed and subbed over the dismal swamp, Rod often got homesick for tlie old farm. He did not have inueh work; lianlly ennugli to keep him from growing weary; but. re- meinliering the Buperliitendent’s word'*, Rod did the work promptly ami well, and not a single renrimuml came to him over the wire from the train dlspatclier.

Rod SAW L‘w people, for passenger trains stopped very seldom at Snowflake, and the boy liid not encourage visits from the rough and—generaily—imlf drunken men from the sawmill.

Tliree months passed away that were long and dreary ones to Rodney Bldpton, and one August day the lad awoke to And him.self inifiortanf.

Yellow fever had broken out at Snowflake City! The state medical olflcer )md been down from Jackson and pronounced four cases of serious sickness as yellow fever of the most pronounced kind. P’orthwilh a doctor and nurse were dispntciied from Uie capitol to Snowflake, and the district was laid under quarantine. No one dared leave tlie fever district now until the pest should be driven away, and, for all the comimmi- cation he wretched people could Imvc with

Yes, Rod recovered, ami went, after a while, back to the old farm, lo rest ami gain strength. Ami while there he re­ceived leller.s ami pre-enis innumerahle, congratulating him upon his plucky be­havior at Snowflake. Among them was tlie ofllcial tliiuiks of the governor of the slate. But tJie ieller which Roil prizes imwl of all is one from Buperinlemicnt Slebbins, and this is what it says:

brave ami arduous work are not the ones always selected for the most important du­ties. He had to learn, as so many will have to, that, as a great poet once wrote:

“ They also serve wlio only stand and wait.”

He found very speedily that the great tele­graph companies and newspapers were not in need of inexperienced lads of fifteen to place in charge of their offices in large cities and other centers of life and activity.

First he applied for a position In Wash­ington, and did not so much as get an aiw' swer to his application. Then he triid New York, and the manager of the concern wrote back and kindly told the lad that he had better try “ nearer nonie.”

At last, much discouraged, Rod did try nearer home. It went much against the grain for him lo think that a telegraph operator should be compelled to remain in such a rusty old state as Mississippi. But he braced up, and one fine spring morning he started out on a tramp of more than thirty miles to Jackson. Most of the way he trudged along the railroad track, though he did not mind that. Rod Shipton was used to long tramps; his father had not so many dollars that he could afford two of them for railroad fare.

The lad’s shoes were pretty dusty when, early on the second morning, he presented himself to the superintendent of telegraph of the Jackson and Richmond railway and asked for a “ job."

of the Pacific ocean. Stay, there was tlie telegraph I Touched by the deft am! will­ing fingers of the young operator, the throbbing wires carried all over the coun­try the tale of misery which Sno 'wtlHke City now told.

In the columns of the great daily papers of the North were printed Rodney Siiip- ton’s dispatches, wherein folks learned how the poor, wretched, ignorant people of the forest and swamp were dead and dying; how tlie four cases speedily in­creased to fourteen and then forty. Rod­ney’s messages, calling for aid, brought nurses from the hospitals of the great cities; Rodney’s messages brought nourish- ing food and healthy clothing to tho.se wiio were fortunate enough to recover; Rod­ney’s messages brought medicine for the sick and even caskets for the dead. And. many cofflins were needed in the stricken district—for fully half the peopledied; and through it all Rod stuck to his post. The other folks of the settlement moved away as far as tliey could within the quaiantine boundary, but Hod stayed right on at the little telegraph cabin on the edge of the swamp, and close to the huts and hovels of the sawmill people.

The air was sweet, oh, so sweet! with the rarest fragnim-e. and when Dame Nature stood before them they all bowed their lieadsand clapped tlieir green leaves logcllier, and the tniinpet-llowers and columbines and lioneysuckles blew their liny trumpets' and the little heuil's-euse crept close lo her feel.

“ I am going lo let you choose," Dame Nature said. “ You may go wherever you wish. Whatever jilaee in all tlie world you ; clioose for a home, you may have for your j own." I

Then the flowers all rustled together, till , it sounded like the summer wind blowing over a green wheat-field apple-blossoms whispered to one unollier, ami the asphodels looked u|) into the .«kies.

“ Your father,” she said, “ lias sent you here to cheer and comfort and bless, liis creatures, the ddidreii of men. Each one of you has a message lo carry, and to-day I liave culled you together that you may clipose your homes."

Then the flowers rushed together again ; ami tlie roses stood up before their mother, blushing, as they answered:

“ We choose the gardens, where heauli- ful white handg will come aud pluck us."

Dame Nature sighed a little us they spoke and thoQ the lillies came.

“ We,” they said, in .soft musical voices, “ will choose the quiet cornei's and the shadowy places. We will bloom pure and white as heaven, and men will learn from us how to be pure and true."

Tho Avild-flowers stole up shyly, and chose homes in the forest, where only the birds aud the brooks, the shunshine and tlie winds might find them. “ We are too small," they said, “ and too frail, to be of any use;" and they sighed fragrant little breaths as they stole away.

The sunflowers came, holding their heads high. “ We will choose the gardens and fields," they said; “ we wdl grow so tall aud grand that all men will look at ns."

When it came the asters’ and gulden- rods’ and the ox-eye daisies' turn, they chose the waysides and the odd, neglected corners, where no other flowers would care to grow. Dame Nature smiled at the,braye, bright faces, and blessed them as they marched away.

The asphodels stood before her, with their faces still toward the skies. “ The mountain-heights shall be our dwcljin--

giows old. Alice WHS lying in the tall grass, and tlit trees were wliis|>eriug and waving fur ubove her, and the suushin© tiickpjeil down, when Dame Nature spoke to her.

“ C’omc," she slje said; “you may go with me. 1 am going to i*Jl the flowers, to decide whieh one shall have the crown of blessing;” and she showc-rl lier a crown woven of the nne.sl sunbeam.^, while she led her away llirough a misty path. Tim path led tliem into a forest, and there, along the brooksides, and on the sunny baiik.s and cool, deliglitfid shadowy nooks, there grew fiiir wlldwood flowers, dainty ami sweet and pure. It was still in t’.ie woods. Oidy the g n a t trees above them murmured in the wind, and tlie birds let fall silver notes, tlial made the silence seem more still, and the hn'ok sang in a soft un- (Ictloiie. Here lliey dwelt, like rliuste flower nuns in a forest {‘loisler. and the air was sweet w ith tlie breath of tlieir dully pra_\er. Alice clapped lu‘r hands together and lield lier lirealh.

“ Here,” slie said; “ let thc.«:c wear t ic crow n.”

But .Mother Natme smiled and shook lier head, and led lier away into the misty path again. This tune they ciimc to a country lane, wliere the golden-rod and aster and the o.Y-eu'daisy grew. They nodded ami sniilnl ut the fnrm-boy, wluslliiig merrily, ami he slopped to gather a clu.'ler, and thrust it through llu* ribbon of Ids ragged straw lint.

“ Ciieerv, good-licarled flowers," Alice siuil; “ lei them be crowned, deur Mother Nature.”

But Nature sliook lier head again, and they went on. They were on u mountain­side, wiml-swe))t and wrapped in snow. Here in bare, (iii)l nooks and rocky ledges, the asphodels liuil their home. A traveler, sinking in Hie snow, clasj ed the flowers of hope in his icy lingers, ami as he: fell they (Iropj)ed upon his breast like a prayer. She looked up at Nature, with her lips tremb­ling, but dill not speak.

“ xNot these." answered Nature, gently; ‘‘they comforted him for a moment. IBs arc tlie flowers of iieaveii now."

All up andplown a sunny garden they walked among the roses, that tossed their royal heads logetlier ami brealiie' their sweetest scents as lovely while hands plucked ami caressed them Icmlerly. But the sliarp tliorns wounded the loving An­gers tliat plucked them, and Alice and her guide went away to where the lilies grew in the shadow. Pure and Ppotleas they were, like aiigcda in their white robes, but the crown was not laid on their saintily brows. By ami liv Nature led the way to an orchard full of sunshine and singing birds; and tliere, among Hie grasses, nest­led the wee blue violets, and the children played among them. Tliey had chosen to . he the children’s flowern. They looked up

the violets and ■ sweetly and smiled when Nature passed them by, ami Hieti wliispered, softly: “ We have the ddldreii’s love, and are well con­tent."

Dusk began to gather; the last golden beams wore fading, and btill tlie Biinbeam crown \vHsnot bestowed, A woman trailed olong a weary ^ay, bent and tired and worn, hut where slie went there grew the little hcart’s-euse, smiling, and she plucked it. sobbing, ami kissed it tendcHy, while tlic little flower nestled lovingly in her rough, worn iiand. Then Nature bent and laid tlie sunbeam crown upon the little ht'art’s-ea.se head, and forevermore it is the flower of blessing to weary and home­sick hearts.

“ I am ii.suntly very good nt remembering names," said Senator Davis, of Minnesota, the other day. “ but I did get stuck once and under Hie most embarrassing circum­stances. I was sitting in my office at Bt. Paul when in came a man whom I was de­lighted to see, and who was delighted to see me. We had been raised as boys together, had enlisted in the same company and served through the war together, he being the liertlenant of the company of which I was captain. I knew him as well as my own brother, and as we had not met for many years I wa.s glad to give him a genuine hearty welcome, but for the life of me I couidn’t think of his name. Ht re- mained with me all the morning and I invited him to go to my house to stop. He consented to do so, and as it approached dinner time I commenced to grow very nervous, for of course, I would have intrr, duced him lo my family, and I couldn’t ask ray old chum and comrade what I.D name was. Finally I thought of a funny expedient. Getting a pen and a sheet of paper toM him I tboutht it would be a good idea for U8 to join iu a letter to an­other of our comrades with whom we wer« bo h very iotin ate during the war. He approved the suggca ion, and I wrote a couple of pages, telling our friend how pleasant it was to meet a^aiot and wishing that he was with ra. Then I signed my name aud passed piper over !o him. to niy relief be signed his ful) name, aad 1 was saved from the impending mortldea* tion."

The question is often asked how H. M. PKRRlNEcan sell a good article of harness at so low a price. Answer— He buys di­rect from the manufacturers and pays cash for the same and gets them at rock bottom prices and makes it easy fur customers to buy and pay fbi them. No auc­tion goods, and no long credit, hut « first-class article for the price.
