low, '
A gay litt e fop, and aspruce little fellow!
. A sauntering pair
In the soft summer air, ( ;
With nothing to rto,-eiher ancient ornew.
But to bask iu the sunshine, or pleasure pursue,
Or fatten on honey, or tipple on dew;
And constantly, when
They're through with it, then
To bask, and to eat, and to tippte again!
Butterfly Blue.and Grasshopper Yellow-,
The gav youiig sprig and the jaunty youngfei-
' . low! '
They're always arrayed in the top of the fash
ion, For Butterfly Blue tor dress has a passion;
And Grasshopper Vellow,
J lie fast little fellow,
His verj'ilong whiskers and legs cut a dash on! -'
And so, as they go, ;
They make a hue show,
And each thinks himself the most exquisit beau
Is there anvone here like Butterfl; Bine?. ' .
Not you, little Laura, nor yoa, lituo Suet
Is there any oue here like,Grasshopper Yellowr
It couldn't be Jack, the nice little lellow!
And yet I have heard
I give you my word :
That somewhere are little folks quite as absurd!
Who giue at their clothes with admiring eyes,
And would rather be showy than useful and
. wise;
Who love to be idle, and never will think
Of anything else but u eat and to drink!
. . . Not you, dears, O no!
It couldn't be so,
This moral to some other country must go ! $

A BALLAD OF CALIFORNIA
BV BAYAKD TAYI.OB. ,
FROM the doorway, Maunela, -iu the sheeny
April morn,
southward looked over the valley, over leagues
ofgleaniiug coru.;
Where tne niuimtaiuS unsty rampart like the
wall of Eilen towers.
And the Ulu of oak are sleepiug on a painted
tea of flow era. . :
And the air is full of music, for the wiuter rains
are o'er,
And the uoisy magpies chatter from the bud
ding sycamore;
Blithely, frisk unnumbered squirrels, over all
the grassy slope;
Where the airy summit brighten, aimhiv leaps
' the autelope. "
Geutle eyes of Maunela! tell me wherefore do
ye rest -
On the ouk's euchauted islands,, and the flowery
ocean's breast r
Tell me wherefore down the valley, ye have
traced tlie highway's mark
Far beyond the belt oi timber, to the mountaiu-
bhadowsdark?
Ah, the' fragrant bay may blossom, ami the
sproutiug verdure sliiue
With the tears of amber dropping from the
shadow of the pine.
And the uiorniug's breath of balsam lightly
brush her suuuy cheek
Little recketh alaiiuela of Uio tales of spring
they speak.
When the summer's burning solstice on the
mountain harvest glowed,
She bad watched a gallant hJiseman ridiug
down tile valley road; . -
Many times she saw him turning, looking- back
with parting thrills,
'Till amid her tears sue lost him, in the shadows
of the hills. '!
Ere the cloudless moons were over, he had passed
the Desert's sand,
Crossed .the rushing Colorado, and the dark
Apache lud.
And his laden mules were driveu, when the
time ol rains, began.
With the traders or L bihuaha, to the Fair of Su
.1 uan. -
Therefore wau.-hes Manuela therefore lightly,
doth she tart, . -
When the sound ol diTant footsteps seem the
beating of her heart;
Kot a wind the green oak rustles, or the red
wood hiaucnea stirs,
But she bears the siWer jiugltfof his ringing bit
and spurs. t
Often out the hazy distance come the taNBiuiu,i
day by day, i . , .
.Cut they come not as Bernado she. can. See It
faraway;
Well she knows the airy gallop of his mettled
aiazau, Light as any antelope ou the hills of Uavilau. .
She would know him 'mid a thousand by his free
and gallant air;
By the neatly-kuiL serape,-f- such as wealthy tra
ders wear.
By his bi-oidered calzodero, t ami his saddle gaily
spi-ead, '
AVith his cantle rimmed with silver, aud its horn
a lion's head.
None like he the light riata on the maddened
- bull can turow;
None auiid the mountain A-gnous track Uike he
the stealthy doe ;
And all the mission festais lew indeed the rev-1
ellers are
Who can join with him thejota, touch with him
the gay guitar.
He has said to Manuela, and the echoes linger
still.
In the dealers of her bosom, with a secret, ten
der thrill :.
W hen the bar again hm blossomed, and the yal-

Shall the belts of Santa Clara usher in the wed

Then their love shrll kindle newly ,and the world

In the cool, delicious crystal of the summer raor

"Well, Doctor Dinsmore," she said,
resolutely, "you may give her up, but

it isn't for fifty years, and that money

grew anxious and nervous with waiting,
wondering over and over why he did
not come. It was not until the next day
that the mmbr got abroad " that 'Doctor
Dinsmore was himself ill. .No one
thou2lit it particularly strange, but
some felt azsrrieved and indignant, and
wendercd what right a doctor had to be
sick at all. But all. were heartily sor-

Some of the neighbors chancing to see
hiin, surmised that he. was a doctor, and
straightway the story spread that a great
city doctor was attending Dinsmore,
who had some-terrible, .unknown dis

the other side when they passed Doctor
Dinsuiore's, aud some of the more tim
erous held their breath that they might
not inhale tlie twr,iu that particular
locality for who'knew but it was some
thing contagious?
But Mr. Morris that was the strang

medicine than ha did of palmistry, lit

Mollie Sterne. He would sit all day in

ble, iikhi which her feet irembled. She
saw the real nature of the sin she was
about to commit, stripped of ail its weak
pretences, its spacious reasonings, its
tliiusy excuses, aud .standing out iu all
its irightlul delorunty; a dishonor to
society, a wrong to her husband
(whether he loved her or not), and a
deadly sin to her own soul.
A sudden impulse to Hi' to escape
somewhere, anywhere, away from the
baleful influence that was luring her to
ruin. The sharp low whistle of the ap
proaching train came down 011 the uight
wind, aud tar away a tiny spam glowed
redly down the dark track. It grew
bigger and bigger this terrible eye of
lire and hotter and hotter, as with ter
rible thunder, and rumble, aud roar, it
cauie panting up to the little station. It
seeniod to her acute lancy tnat it was an
avenging demon, already let loose upon
her track, and with only one escape
in her heart, she turned and fled. Les
lie Wolcott. looking out from a window
of the forward car, saw that she was no
longer standing; thought, "Only a little
while, mv beloved." aud smiled dream
ily as they moved away in the darkness.
Tlie third day alter tlie departure 01
Luke ViU'iiey, Mollie Sterne received
two telegraphic dispatches; one from
Liiike.aud one trom juorris. ine one
from Luke was as follows: "He is
here; have written particulars." Alol-
lie's heart grew light. It was the first
clue that she had obtained, and the fact
that he had. emphasized the "he," gave
her a faint' hope that she was uot with
him. and she was willing to wait an
other week for tidings of her, it only
she were not with him. She had almost
forgotten the dispatch from detective
Morris in her interest for the other. But
she look it up presently, and read what
puzzled her: "Are you sure w
H is dead ?"
She held the scrap of paper 111 her
hand, and looked at it with dilating eyes.
What could the man mean .' 10 ue sure
Walter llargrave was dead, else he
wHrld have come back to Breut. It had
beeu sixteen months since his strange
disappearance, and if he had been alive
he would have been uacK neiore mat
time. Probably he had seen some one
that looked like him, aud so imag
ined that he had made a discovery. She
didn't think much of detectives, after
II. Now here was Luke, who had only
been gone three days, and see how much
he had done; he had found him at last.
Wliile Morris had been at worn three or
four times as long, and all he. had done
so far was to inquire if she was sure a.
man was dead that had been dead more
than a year. She was quite vexed at his
stupidity.
.Never were moments so long to ner
before as those which intervened be
tween the reception of that dispatch
tnd the letter which it heralded. But
it came at last, and eager and trembling
with excitement, she sat down to read
it. She had not spoken of the dispatches
she had received, to Doctor Dinsmore,
though something in her face a shad
ow less of pain made him watch her
eagerly and yet hopelessly ; for from the
first terrible moment, lie 11 ad given up
all hope or expectation of ever looking
in the dear face again, lie had buried
her past all hone of resurrection, aud
sat hopeless and stricken beside the.sep-
ulchre.
This was the first letter Luke had ever
written to Mollie, and the poor fellow
had hesitated more than an hour row to
begin it.. He wasn't much used to
epistle-izing, and he never wrote to a
woman. He had seen, a long tune ago,
a book entitled, "The Complete Letter-
Writer," and he tried to the best ot his
ability to remember the most approved
method according to tuat most notapie
authority. But the more he tried, the
more hecouldn t remember, though he
had a vague idea that it was "honored
madam;" but he, did not exactly like
that. He wrote "Miss Mollie," and
"Dear Miss Sterne," aud then hap
pened to remember that that wasn't it,
at all, for Mollie was a widow! He
wanted to say "My Liear, but not be
ing familiar with letter-w riling, was
afraid it looked almost too affectionate,
in writing, though he wouldn't mind
saying it; but if a.iybody should sec it!
and he blushed scarlet at the thought.
He never dreamed that its very common
ness had made it a mere meaningless
formality; but thought, in his happy ig
norance, that it really meant something
nnd so it did to mm. And so at last
he had settled down upon simple "Mol
lie." And thia is the substance of what
followed that beginning:
"Mollik 1 have found Leslie Wol
cott. He is confined to his bed from in
juries received in jumping from the
ears while in motion, tie is at tne
house of a Mr. Carroll, whose daughter
was a former sweetheart of his. He
solemnly declares that the last time be
ever saw Lena Dinsmore, site stood on
the-platform of the Brent depot. 1 saw
him alone, and he admitted that she left
the liouse with him, and he thought she
was in the cars till they had got ten
miles away lioui Breut; and that when
he went through the cars aud found she
wasn't there, he was so wild and ex
cited that he sprang olf the cars, which
fortunately were going slow at the tune.
But he was knocked senseless, as it was,
and the train backed dowu and picked
him up; and as nobody knew where he
belonged, they looked sx his pocKet-DooK
and lound he had through tickets lor
Baltimore, and so they brought bun
here. He didn't know anything for
several days, and he's pretty badly off

t's no use for folks to think they can
sin and escape the punishment. They
can excuse It on by pleading nature,
and fate, and temperament, but that
lon't deceive Him, or turn aside the
sure punishment.
'He cried like a ciiuu wnen 1 told
him that she hadn't ever been heard of
since that night. He said he thought
she must have gone back home; and
since he had been lying there, and
thinking it all over, he had thanked
God that she had. He didn't mind
what lie suffered, if only she was sale
I couldn't help pitying him, after all
Mollie, for I suppose he did love the
poor child. Ah well! There are

Luke varney.
P. S. Dou't forget that
promise
Mollie. I'll find her yet."
Mollie Sterna took the letter and wen
up and read it, word for word (except
the postscript), to Doctor. She cried a
little, snltly, when sue ntiisiied it, but
Doctor Dinsmore did not mind her; he
was walking back and forth across the
floor; his hands, which 'were clasped
behind him, working nervously, and
his breath coming and going rapidly.
Presently lie paused, and turned toward
her :
"How many davs has it been?" he
asked, sharply. s
VTwelve."
"And 1 have sat here all this time,
have I?" he asked, like one waking out
of a dream.
"You have been yery wfak, doctor,
and everything "
"But I haven't done anything I,
who love her so! Weak! Yes Mol
lie!" "What, sir?"
"Brush my clothes, and bring them
to me."
"What are you going to do?" half
alarmed at the sudJeu change in his
manner.
"1 am going to find my wife,'.' he
said, with a touch oi his old calmness.
"But, doctor, you are ill; just look at
yourself."
"Bring me my clothes!"
She went down to the wardrobe,
wondering whether or 110 the doctor
were sane or not. She was secretly
afraid he was not. O, how she wished
Luke were there! There was a ring at
the bell. She went to the door. A lad
handed her an envelope, and turned
away.. It was another despatch Iroui
Morris, and was as follows:
"Xot found yet. Think I have a clue,
Have seen liiiu again am sure it is he."
A hand, a white, trembling hand,
reached over her shoulder aud took the
paper. She gave an uivoluntary cry ol
alarm.
"What does he mean by 'him?'"
Doctor Dinsmore said, unheeding her
affright, and pointing at the line stead
ily. She drew the other paper from her
dress, and handed it to him.
He looked up, a sudden glance of hope
breaking up the stony despair iu his
eves.
"Mollie: ' ne said, a laint nusn urea
ng through the dead white ot his lace,
if Walter Hargrave is alive, and he
as seen him In New York, perhaps "
He paused, aud caught his breath
shortly.
"He may nave lounu nerr sue cnea,
most as excited as iie.
"What time is it?"
"Ten minutes of three."
"And the cars are due at three," seiz
ing his hat from the rack, aud going to
ward the door.
'But, Doctor Dinsmore, wait! let me
get vour other coat," she caned alter
m, half way down the path.
"I cannot wait," he answered, with
out looking back.
She stood in tne door, w aiening 111s
long, steady strides, aud wondered if
he could be the same man mat lor twelve
days had been as weak and helpless, al
most as a babe, and who uau scarceiy

utter some exclamation of astonishment,
and turn and look after him as he strode

had sustained him mostly ;and he hardly
acknowledged to himself that hope had

strength. He stoud 011 tne steps 01 tne

XIIE GREAT BALLOON.
We clip the following account of the
construction ot Pro!. Wise's tfaloon irom
she Graphic. It partakes somewhat of
the sensational reportorial style, out
contains some not uninteresting details
" The gores ot cloth of which the bal
loon Is composed are all cut out and
sewn together on the second Hour of the
establishment. As already stated, the
great balloon will require 4,310 yards of
cloth. The material is ol unbleached
sheeting of a thick, closequality, known
as "Indian Orchard," purchased from
Eldridge, Dunham Co.. llroauway,
The crown of the balloon will be uouu
led for a distance of fifty feet from the
top, with 150 yards of the same mater
ial; and yet d third thickness will be
added of " Manchester" Mills, bleached,
of which 250 yards will be required.
This strengthening of the crown of the
balloon is rendered necessary by the up
ward pressure of. the gas, which is equal
to t wo pounds to tlie square inch.
The measurement and cutting of the
gores is performed by Mr. Fleck, a short,
dark, intelligent man, with keen, flash
ing, black eyes, lie wielded tne huge
scissors with as much dignity as a gen
eral would wield his sword ou the eve
of a battle.

Mr. Fleck bear, in future anunls, to the
solution of the great problem ot trans
atlantic serouaulics.
Tlie sewing of the seams is performed
by a score or so of pretty girls, under

Wise. She has had more experieuce iu
the building of balloons than auy other
woman in the world. " She: bus been
making balloons for. me. for twenty
years," said the Professor. ' She must
have begun the work very early, for sbe
is yet a bright, attractive young woman.
" Has she ever been up iu a balloou ?"
asked the writer, thinking that a lady
wJio had done so much for leronanlics
ought to have, at least, one taste of sky
ward travel. ....
" No," said the Professor, ','it has so
happened that she never, went up. . My
wife, however, has nccorapauied me
once or twice on balloon excursions,
In 1352, my wife and my whole" family
went up,"
' When did the idea of transatlantic
ballooning first occur to you ?" '
I started the thing -as early as HU4.
I petitioued Congress for Hid to build a
balloon for the purpose of going over to
Europe. The petition was drawn up ny
my very good friend Surgeoii-Geuetat J-.
roltz.ot the United States Navy. The
petitions were presented in the Senate
by the late Stephen A. Douglas, and ia
the House by Mr. Maclane, Cougress
did uot grant the money, but Senator
Douglas made an excellent speech in fa
vor, of the scheme."
' What: is the total length of sewing
to be done now, iu uniting all these
gores?"
"One huudred and two seams, multi
plied by 172 feet length of seams, aud
about oue-third more for transverse
seaming- 41,062 feet. Oh, about eight
miles."
Prom here we went up-stairs to the
next floor, where Mr. Joe -Sutcliffe is

he draws it tight by a peculiar jerk ot
the right arm thrown behind the body.
' 1 suppose the smaller meshes at the
top are for the purpose of strengthening
the balloon," said the writer.
Yes, answered Prof. Wise, "weare
obliged to be very particular about that.

It a lady dislikes waltzing withlgentie-

soon think of going up 111 a balloon as

' Catholicism Is religion ;' and under
the Jaw. of religions equality Ave are

and a fair-shar In all the advantages of

to regai'd It with'charit.v, and to over
come. It not with evil'but with good.
But Jesuitism is not religion ; Jesuitism
is; and always was, conspiracy. It con
spired of old with Catholic despots for
the. overthrow of Protestant govern
ments, and of the liberty in Which Prot
estantism has ts being.' It conspire
with factions for tlie same purpose now.
When Bismarck expelled the Jesuits, we

and which brought down Bismarck's

did tney belong to the duty or perform

Jesuit has no country,' hp tie, no re

nation on which he operates, no com
punction in bringing on it war or any
other calamuity, provided he can quench
its free life and turn it into one of those
living corpses which Loyola enjoined his

with which he shrouds himself is a proof
that he ts a conspirator; honesty, even
honest fanaticism, never shrinks from
the light of day. " Against conspiracy
society has a right to guard itself,though
it has none to interfere with the exer
cise or the ' propagation of any religion.
Toe main object of a Jesuit uuiversity
would not be education but intrigue, it
would be a centre, established by the na
tion, of conspiracy against the national
life, The British Parliament is bound
to refuse its sanction to the establish

Jesuits are to be admitted; so is auy

FL.t VOB1NU WITH LEAVES.
Leaves are more or less' popular for
garnishing but it has often surprised
rue, says a correspondent of the Harden,
tlutt tuey are so little used for flavoring.
With the exception ot sweet aud bitter
herbs growu chiefly for the purpose, aud
parsley (which Is neither bitter nor
sweet, but the most popular of all fla
voring plants), comparatively few other
leaves are used. Perhaps I ought also
to except the sweet bay, which is itopu-
lar in rice ana other puddings, and cer
tainly imparts one of the most pleasant
and exquisite flavors. . But, on the other
hand, what a waste there is ot the fla
voring properties of peach, almond, and
laurel leaves, so richly' charged with
the essence ot bitter almonds, so much
used jn kitchens! Of course, such leaves
must be used with caution, but so must
e spirit as well. An niliisioii of these
could readily be made, either green or
ry, and tea or table-spoon ot the fla
voring liquor used to taste. One of the
most useful -and harmless of all leaves
for flavoring is that of the common
yringa. When cucumbers are scarce
these are a perfect substitute in salads or
nything in which that flavor is desired.
lie taste is not only like that ot cucum
bers, but identical a "curious instance of
the correlation of flavors iu widely dif-
lerent I amines. Again, the young
leaves of cucumbers have a striking
ken ess in the way ol flavor to that of
fruit. The same may be affirmed of
carrot-tops, which are as like carrots in
taste as may be. In most gardens there
Is a prodigious waste ofcelery flavor in
the sacrifice of the external leaves and
their " partially blanched footstalks.
Scores of sticks of celery are cut up into
soup, when the outsides would flavor it
equally well or better. The young
leaves ot gooseberries added to bottled
fruit give a 'fresher flavor and greener
color to pies and tarts. ' The leaves' of the
flowering current give a sort of inter
mediate flavor between that of black
currents and red. Orange, citron, and
lemon leaves impart a flavoring equal
to that of the fruit and rlud combined,
nd somewhat, dinerent from ' both. A
few leaves added to pies, or boiled in the
milk used to bake with rice, or formed
uto crusts or paste, impart an admirable
bouquet, in short leaves are not tiair so
much used for seasoning - purposes as
they might De.
CURIOUS TRIBE OF ,JW IN
IIINOOSTAN.
In the city of Cochin, Hindustan, says
the Jewish Times, live some 3,000 colored
Israelites, whose skill is not quite so
dark as the genuine Ethiopian. They
are Jews in every sense,, worship the
uod oi tneir lathers, tne only true Jeho
vah, and are intellectually the superiors
of the white Inhabitants of the place.
According to their own account their
origin is as follows:
"The conquest or a portion of the

HEARTS ANU HANDS.
One day a teacher said to his class:
Boys, you can all be useful. II vou will.
If. you cannot do good by great deeds.
you can bv little ones."
The boys said nothing, but the teacher
saw Dy their looks that they thought he
was mistaken. They did not believe
that they could be of any use. So he
said :
" You think it's not so, but suppose
you just try it for one week."
"How shall we try il'r" asked one of
tnem.
"Just keep your eyes open, and your I
hands ready, to do anything good that
comes iu your way, all this week, and
tell me next Sunday if you have not
managed to be useful -m some wav or
other," said the teacher.
" Agreed,." said the bovs. and so tliey
parted.
j The next Sunday those boys gathered
around their teacher,- and with smiling
lips and eyes so lull of light that they
fairly twinkled like the stars. He
smiled, as he looked on them, aud said:
"Ah! hoys, 1 see by your looks that
on have something to tell me."
" We have, sir, we have,?' they said
all together. Then each one told his
story.
"I," said one, " thought of going to

of a poor old woman, whose eyes were
too dim to read. 1 went to her house
every day and read her a chapter from
the Bible. It seemed to give her a great
deal of cojnfort. I cannot tell - how she
thanked me."
A third boy said, "I was walking
along the street, wondering what I
could do. A gentleman called me and
asked me to hold his horse. I did so. He
gave me five cents. I have brought it to
put into the missionary box."
"l was walking with mv eves open
and my hands ready as you told us,"
Said the forth, "when I saw a little fel-
ow crying because lie had lost some
pennies iu the gutter. I told him not to
cry, and I would try and find his pen
nies. I found them, and he dried up
his tears, and ran on", feeling very hap
py.'' A tilth boy said : " 1 saw my mother
was very tired, oue day. The baby
cried, aud mother looked sick and sad.

Gold-dust ! Where did Tom get gold

been to California. He never was
miner. Where did he get gold-dust?
Ah! he has seconds and minutes: and
these are the gold-dust of time specks
and tmrlicles of time: which bovs and
girls, and growu-up people are apt to
waste and throw away. Tom knew their
value. His father had taught him that
