My Daughter Louise.
BY HOMEU ORKBN.
In the light of the moon, by the side of the wa
ter.
My ,seat on the Band and her scat on my
knees,
We watch the bright billows, do I and my
daughter.
My sweet little daughter Louise.
We wonder what city the thway of plory,
That broadens away to the limitless west,
Leads up to she minds her of some pretty
story
And says: "To the city that mortals love
best."
Then I say: "It must leadtothe faraway
city,
The beautiful City of Rest."
In the light of the moon, by the side of the wa
ter.
Stand two in the shndow of whispering trees.
And one loves my daughter, my beautiful
daughter,.
My womanly daughter Louise.
She steps to the boat with a touch of his fin
gers.
And out on the diamonded pathway they
move
The shallop is lost in the distance, it lingers,
It waits, but 1 know that its coming will
prove
That it went to the walls of the wonderful
city.
The magical City of Love.
In the light of the moon, by the side of the wa
ter,
I wait for her coming from over the seas
I wait but to welcome the dust of my daugh
ter,
To weep for my daughter Louise.
The path, as of old, reaching out in its splen
dor,
Gleams bright, like a way that an angel has
trod
I kiss the cold burden its billows surrender,
Sweet clay to lie under the pitiful sod:
But she rests,, at the end of the path, in the
city,
Whose "builder and maker is God."
MABTT'S CABBAGE SHOP.
BY MRS. REBECCA HARDING DAVIS.
Bugby was hungry.
Being a boy he was always hungry
but there were especial reasons, this
cold, nipping morning, why his stomach
should gnaw so savagely under his tight
little jacket. In the first place, the
breakfasts and dinners which his moth
er had given him lately had been grow
ing thinner and smaller until yesterday
they dwindled down to one bit of eorn
bread in the morning and nothing at all
through the day.
In the second place, it was holiday
week, andwheneverBugby went through
the village the smell of roasting turkey,
mince pies, or spice cake cametohim
from the kitchens.
The stars were still in the sky when
he scrambled up and began to dress.
"Whah yergwine, sonny?!' said Mar
ty, his mother, following him down the
ladder into the little kitchen. Marty
was a young mulatto woman with a
low voice and a gentle face which Bug
by thought the'prettiest in the world.
She shivered and coughed, and he put
her cloak around her and picked up the
slaked fire.
"Yoh go back to bed, mammy. Whah
fo* you get up? Dah ain't nuffin

house to clean. No use scrubbin' no
more. Long's yoh stay in bedyoh won't
be hungry. I'm gwine take de cabbages
toh de stoh, and I'll bring back a pock
etful of money."
He went off chuckling and whistling
to the outhouse where the cabbages
were stored, while Marty washed and
put on her gown, and tried to tidy still
more the spotlessly neat kitchen. As
Bug had said, there was nothing to cook.
She wished there had been, for she felt
weak and had to sit down now and
then. But the money for the cabbages
would come soon, so she began to sing,
too, a lilt about "inarchin' to de mawn-
in\"
Marty and Bug had shrill voices and
took a good deal of fun out of their
singing. They had been slaves in Vir
ginia. Five years ago Marty's husband,
Cassius, had gone with hisyoung master
into the Southern army. Marty never
had heard of him again. Her mistress
died and the plantation was sold, and
when all the slaves were freed, there was
nothing left for her to do but to take
Bug follow the great drove of ne
coming North. She had saved a
ttle money, with which she rented this
cabin and lot in the little country town
of Fayette, took in washing, raised vege
tables to sell, and so kept them alive.
But the hard times made the women
of Fayette economical they would not
give out their washings any longer, and
in December thevegetables were all sold
except the cabbages. Marty and Bug,
after much consultation, had concluded
to hold them back until now, when they
would bring a high.price.
Bug came in presently, gray with the
cold, Dut in high good humor.
"Dah's eighty ob 'em, mammy. Mr.
Frisby's buyin' 'em by de wagon load
at ten cents apiece. Dey's skase dis
year, an' de folks hyarismighty fondob
cabbages. He says to me yes' day, 'Fotch
'em along, bub I'll take all you've got
at dat price.'"
Marty, meanwhile, was puzzling over
a sura.
"Eighty times ten," she said at last
"Pearstome dat's eighty dollars, Bug.
Dat'll kerry us purty well in de spring, I
tell you."
"We kin afford a fried chicken for the
holiday, mammy?"
"Course we kin. Come, git along,
sonny.* De day's broke and }you've a
good mile to go.'
Bug had borrowed Sam Cole's big
pushing cart over night. Any of the
neighbors would lend Marty or Bug
whatever they asked, they were known
to be such kindly, honest folks.
Marty went out and helped pile up
some of the cabbages in the cart solid,
big,pale-green balls. Neverthey had seen
a prettier sight. How manydays of hard
work and aching bones had gone into
them! And they were going to repay
her now.
"We'll lib like a king an' queen, Bug,"
she said. "I'll git a bit ob bacon an'
make you chicken pie"for Marly had
been a famous cook in Virginia. "Dah
was nuffin you pap like so much as
chicken pie."
"Nuffin I like so much eyther!" said
Bug, promptly, for he always made
himself after the pattern ofthis unknown
lost father.. "Whah d'ye s'pose he is
mammy?"
Marty did not answer. She was sure
he was dead or he would have come to
her he would know somehow how
much she wanted him. She was an af
fectionate, faithful soul, and she never
had any one else to care for but her hus
band and Bug.
"I reckon I'll be off now," said Bug
by. 'Til bring some meal and 'lasses
for brekfuss, an' then tote the rest ob
dem." He pushed the cart in the
smooth, icy road, and Mary went into
the kitchen.
She looked out of the window at the
boy pushing the cart down the hill. He
was more than all the rest of the world
to her. But, oh, what a great world it
was! What could she doforher boy in
it? She wanted himtohave schooling
and a chance like other boys, and she
was so miserably poor! If Cassias was
alive, how could he ever find her in this
great full North?
0 3 f*03%
DM Marty never was miseraoie long:
"De Lord's undeh all, she said, and be
gan to tting, going to her work, when
the door burst open, and in rushed Bug
by, a cabbasre in hand.
"Look dah!" holding it out, "I jess
took off de two outest leaves an' look
dah!"
The cabbage was literallytunneled by
worms. Marty took it with a gulp of
dismay.
"'Tisn't wnrf nuffin. Dah's ten
cents gone. Well, leab it, and hurry
along."
"But de rest, mammy?"
"Oh h!" She had not thought of the
others. She ran outtothe cart, inspect
ed each one, thentothe great heaps.
There was not a single sound one they
were riddled through and through.
But the outer leaves were fair and
sound.
Marty was weak and sick from hun
ger. She felt this disappointment was
more than she could bear. She drew
her apron over her head and sat down
on the kitchen steps without a word.
Bugby stood looking at the heap of
cabbages. Where was his holiday din
ner now of chicken pie, his breakfast?
He kicked the cabbage as hard as he
could.
"Mammy," he said the next moment,
"they don't look bad at alL An'an'"
eyeing her furtively"Mr. Frisby don't
Elek'emoutestcellars
ic de leave off. He just tum
in de 'raong de rest. He's
got a wagon-loads dab. An' "his
voice got very thick and fast"he
wouldn't nebber know whose dem dar
cabbages was."
Marty took down her apron. Cor
nelius Bugby Johnson, am you a thief?
It's bad enufftolose de cabbages, but
don't let me tink my boy's gonegone
toh de debbil."
In the grain, Bugby was honest.
"I'm not a thief!" he howled, and
kicked the cabbages again. "But I'm
so hungry I'm sick, mammy."
"I know, sonny." Marty turnedinto the
cabin desperately,tosee if there were
any of their poor little belongings which
she could sell. But who would buy the
worn-out chairs and table from a negro
cabin?
"I'll go downtothe village an' see if
I kin git a day's work for our vittals,
Bug. An' do yoh take two or three ob
de cabbages an' showtoMr. Frisby, an'
essplain de reason why we can't send
him any."
Bug set off on his errand with half a
dozen of the cabbages lying on the bot
tom of the push-cart.
Never had such savory smells tor
mented his nostrils as came that morn
ing through the frosty air. Buckwheat
cakes, sausages, hot coffee! And he was
so ravenously hungry!
At Frisby's shop door, too, hung
chickens, ducks, strings of pudding. His
mouth watered he stoppea at the steps
with his push part. Why not sell Fris
by the cabbages and buy a chicken? He
could tell his mammy that Frisby had
given ittohim. Why not? He stood
irresolute. The devil was fighting as
hard for the soul of the little black boy
as for that of any saint.
Presently he ran up the steps carrying
a cabbage, and. went uptoFrisby who
was busy taking an order from a lady
in black.
"Ah, Bug! brought the cabbages?
Put them in the cellar. Tom will pay
you."
"See!" burst out Bugby. "Dey're
wormy dey're all done gone wormy!
Mammy hain't got onetosell you."
Then he turned and kicked the cabbage
furiously down the steps. "You ole
cheat! Clar out o' my sight!" hescream
ed.
The lady, who was young, laughed.
"What ails the child?" she said. ''Who
is he?"
It's Marty's boy Bug, Miss Given,"
said the grocer. "A very honest woman.
Now, half-a-dozen wealthy farmers have
sold me wormy cabbages within the
week. And I think it likely Marty de
pended on hers for her winter's living.
What else did you say? Any canned
goods?"
Miss Given came down the steps a
moment later. Bug still stood eyeing
the cabbages with a kind of blank des
pair, which was so funny on his ugly
little phin that she laughed again.
"What were you going to trade for
them? Come, Bug, tell me all about
it."
"I'd be glad, to trade de whole eighty
for a hoe cake, an' dat's a fac\" almost
sobbed Bug.
The young lady lookedgrave. "Have
you had no breakfast. Is it so bad as
that? Here, jump up behind on this
phaeton. I am goingtodrive out home,
and you shall have your breakfast and
somethingtotake home."
Miss Given heard Bug's whole story
before she reached homecabbages,
chicken pie, lost father and all. Her
cheeks were warm and her eyes wet as
she stopped at the door and flung the
reinstoa servant. "Wait here for a
moment, Bugby," she said, running up
the steps into abroad hall where sever
al gentlemen stood smoking and chat*
ting.
"Who is your groom, Elsie," said her
father. "A new discovery?"
"I want to tell you about him," she
said, eagerly. "And you, Dr. Coyt,"
turningtoan oldgentleman near. "Just
listentothis," and she told Bug's story.
"I call that heroism," when she had
ended, "if it was about nothing better
than cabbages and bacon."
Dr. Coyt, who was a gentleman from
the neighborhood of New York on a
visit to her father, had listened intent
iy-
"This is very singular," he said, "I
half suspectDid the boy tell you his
father's name?"
"No. But their master was a Col.
Denham, of Louisa County."
"I thought so! Send my coachman
here," he said to a servant passing.
"And, Miss Given, please call your
boy."
A stalwart, middle-aged colored man
entered. Miss Given looked athim anx
iously. He had a manly, honest face,
but a sad one, like most of his race.
"Cassius," said the doctor, did yon
leave any family in Virginia?"
"A wife an' chile, sah. I went back
for dem when de war was ober, bnt dey
was gone, nobody knew whar. I neb
ber hopetosee dem. done gib up de
hopes ob dat, sah, long ago."
"What did yon call your boy?"
"Cornelius Bugby, sah."
"Dat's my name,*" said a shrill voice
behind him.
Cassiusturned, stepped back, looking
at the boy, then at the doctor. His
breath failed him.
"Do*-do you meantosay dis is my
chile?" he stammered.
4'.
"I believe it is, my boy." -f
"God hev mercy on me!" He took.
Bug up by the shoulders, let him down,
laughed and sobbed in a way pitiful to
seem a strong man. "Wharwhar's
yer mudder, boy?" And when Bug,
who was so scared that he could not be
glad, stammered out an answer, Cassius
looked appealingly at his master.
"Of course, be off. This, fill delay
my going home for a day or two," he
said, turning to his host. Both men
were a little ashamed of .the moisture in
their eyes. "My wife is anxioustohave
a good woman in the porter'slodge, and
it will suit us entirelytohave Cassius'
wife there. It is a pretty cottage.and
they will be thoroughly comfortable in
it"
In the meantime, Miss Given had ran
out of the room, and in a few moments
a man with two great baskets of pro
visions followed Bug and his father
across the fields. He was a colored
man, as it happened, and when he
reached the cabin and heard Marty's
wild sobs of joy in the room he felt as if
he were one of the family, nodded and
laughed and shut the door. Then he
drew out the kitchen table and spread
a magnificent feast and beckoned to
Bug.
"Git yer muddertoeat somefin'.
She'll bear de good news better," he
said.
Such a breakfast! Coffee and white
biscuits and smoking steak and a plate
of great red apples. Bug seized one be
fore he went in for his mother.
"'Pears like dem cabbages was a
good crop after all," he said reflective
ly. "Brought in all dem vittals, besides
pap."
"I think it was you who brought 'em
in, your hornesty," said Josh. "You're
a good little chap, Bug."
"Yes, I alius was reckoned us' class,"
said Bugby, with a calm nod of self-ap
probation. "But I'll go call mammy
an'fall to."

Farmers Fifty Years Ago.
Fifty years ago the farmers depended
almost wholly on the products of their
farm for the supply of their tables, and,
largely, for their clothing. A writer in
the Boston Journal thus sketches the
raising of the raw material for garments
and the process of manufacturing them
at the farm-house:
Every farmer kept a flock of sheep,
and wool constituted a large proportion
of the clothing of the family. It was
carded, spun and woven at home, and
made into garments for both sexes. The
best clothes for the men and boys were
made of what was called- "fulled
cloth."
This was made at home, of the finest
material, and taken to the mills known
as "fulling mills," where it was put
through a process of thickening, dyeing
and finishing. The women used to wear
gowns of cloth which was called "press
ed woollen."
This was simply home-made flannel,
taken to the mills above-named, and
pressed, so. as to present a glossy sur
face.
Every farmer had a small patch of
flax. This was pulled and spread out
in rows on the ground, "rotted," and
then "broken" and "swingled," and
was thus prepared for the combing,
carding and the "little wheel," as the
machine was called on which the flax
was spun, to distinguish it from the
larger machine for spinning wool.
It was woven into cloth for table
covers, towelling, sheeting and shirting.
The "tow," which was the coarse por
tion combed out on the "hetchel," was
spun into a coarse yarn, of which a
cloth was madefor summer suits for the
men and boys.
The tow shirt so commonly worn,
was then new, an instrument of torture
to the wearer, as it was full of prickling
spines left from the woody part of the
stalk.
The tailor of the old days, with his
goose, traveling from housetohouse, to
make up the clothes, for the men and
boysortocut and fit them for

his head in a solemn manner and ob

"It's no use to cry 'bout it, sonny,

"But I want ten" whined the boy.
"In course you does. All chilFen of

"You usedtogo," urged the boy.
"Sartin I did, but what was de re

Hush up, now, Kase I hain't got but

The boy still continued to cry, and
the old man pulled him behind a wagon
and continued:

We owetoman higher succors than

The man that works at home helps
society at large with somewhat more of
certainty than he who devotes himself
to charities.
The truest test of civilization is not
the census, nor the size of cities, northe
crops,no, but the kind of man the

Everyman is not so much a work
man in the world as he is a suggestion
of that he should be. Men walk as
prophecies of the next age.
Every genuine work of art has as
much reason for being as the earth and
the sun. The gayest charm of beauty
has a root in the constitution Of things.
The less government we havethe bet
terthe fewer laws and the less eonfi
ded power. The antidotetothis abase
of formal government is the influence
of private character, the growth of the
individual.
No way has been found for tnakjng
heroism easy, even for the scholar. La

Our efficiency depends so much upon

the instances where a marked man is
sent into the world, overloads, him with
bias, sacrificing his symmetry to his
working power.
It never was in the power of any man
or communitytocall the arts into be

wants, nevertoplease his fancy. These
arts have their origin always in some
enthusiasm, as love, patriotism, or re
ligion.
The high prize of life, the crowning

statutes, or songs.
Life is a succession of lessons which
must be livedtobe understood. All is
a riddle, and the keytoa riddle is an
other riddle. There are as many pil
lows of illusions as flakes in a snow
storm. We wake from one dream into
another dream.
Our life is an apprenticeship to the
truth that around every circle another
can be drawn that there is no end in
nature, but every end is a beginning
that there is always another dawn risen
on midnoon, and under every deep a
lower deep opens.
It only needs that a just man should
walk in our streets to make it appear
how pitiful and inartificial a contriv
ance is our legislation. The man whose
part is taken and who does not wait for
society in anything, has a power which
society cannot choose but feel.

About American Pirates.
They had two methods of work. On*
wastopatrol the sea in thetrack of ves
sels bound to and from Europe and
Brazil or Spanish America, and seize
them. Very often the crews were whig
ing, or were compelled, to join the
pirates but sometimes allwere kiUedor
carried into slavery. Merchant ships,
therefore, all went heavily armed in
those waters, and many were the bloody
battles fought
This work, however, employed only a
portion of the buccaneers, and was too
uncertain a means of wealth to suit
them. They would, therefore, equip a.
great fleet enlist men under certain
strict rules astosharing the spoils, and
sail awaytopillage some coast There
was hardly an island in the West Indies
from which, in this way, they did not
extort immense sums of money under
of destruction of the people. The
mainland also suffered from the ma
rauders. Great cities, like Cartagena in
Venezuela, Panama on the Isthmus,
Merida in Yucatan, and Havana, Cnba,
were attacked by armies of buccaneers
numbering tens of thousands of men.
Sometimes their fortifications held good
and the enemy was beaten back but
sooner or later all these cities, and oth
ers, smaller, were captured, burned or
partially burned, and robbed of every
thing valuable that they contained.
"Why did the citizens not hide their
wealth?" They did but the buccan
eers puttothe most dreadful tortures

bodyuntil they would tell where their
money and jewels were buried. It is
sickeningtoread of the crimes and suf
fering committed by the wickedest of
men. For years and years they were
the terror of thewholeCaribbean region.
Nor did their enormous riches do them
a particle of good, for they wasted it all
the moment they got home, in wild
rioting, so that the spoils earned by
months of hardship and exposure, and
wounds and danger of death, would be
spent in a week of carousing. Before
the end of the century, however, the
combined naval forces of all the nations
interested in the commerce of the new
world broke the power of the buccan
eers, and their depredations ceased.
Their story is one of the wildest most
romantic, but most terrible pictures in
the history of the world.June Wide

The Code.
One Sunday at Montgomery we were
talking aboutduels, and whenthe names
of several parties who had gone out in
past years to satisfy their nonor were
mentioned, the Judge knockedthe ashes
off his cigar and said:
"Gentlemen, it maybe mentioned
right here that I have been there my-
self."
"Were you challenged?"
"I was. It was over in South Caro
lina, and I called a man a liar. He sent
me a challenge, and I selected swords as
the weapons. We met at 7 o'clock the
next morning. It wasjust such a morn
ing as thisbright, beautiful and fall of
lift"
"And how did you feel?"
"Very queer. I shall neverforgetmy
sensations as I saw my rival, and bo
seemed to be as visibly affected. We
couldn't either one of us. say a worE^
"Was it in a grove?"
"Oh, no it was at the depot**
"The depot! Why, yon didn't fight

"Well, no. The morning express
