The Outoast.
Jostle him out from the warmth and light
Only a vagrant feeble and gray ;
Let him reel on through tba stormy night
What though his home he miles awavT
With a muttered curse on wind and rain
He orept along through the miry lane.
Lonely the pathway, and dark and cold.
Shelter he sought 'neath a ruined wail;
Over hla senses a numbness slole.
Round him sleep Ihrew tor mystio pall !
Then an angel came with piiyli.g tears
Ana lifted the veil of bygone years.
Gayly he sports by a rippling brook :
Boll is me ureaiu ui uiBuw,m
Flowers adorn each mossy nook.
Sunshine and happlntss everywhere.
He is Willie now. Just four years old,
With his rosebud lips and curls of gold.
Hark to the roll of the warlike drum I
See the brave aoldlers go marching by I
Home from the battle young Will has come,
rniirn, and lov In hi. sliarkliiis eve.
And his pulses thrill with hope and pride.
jror ne soon win greet uis pruiuineu uuuc
Now in the fireside's flickering glow
Calmly he's taking his evening rest:
Fondly he kisses his infant's brow.
Bleeping secure on its inouier s urensu
(And the dreamer stirred and lalutly
smiled):
He Is William now with wife and child.
The curtain dropped the morning broke
Faint was the flush In tbe eastern sky ;
Moaning and wretched the sleeper woke,
Brushing a tear from his bloodshot eye.
To his squalid home beyond the hill,
With a saddened heart crept poor old Bill.

Brattlaiwr, Oct It, 18".
On the trunk of a fallen tree, in the
depths of afirwood, not many miles from
the Castle of the Slarnberfi, a man sat,
one summer twilight, with a flute to his
lips. Over the peaks of the Bavarian
Alps a storm was gathering. The con
scious foiest groaned in all its multitudi
nous branche .. Far off, one could hear
the brawl of torrents, the whistle of
goatherds, the echo of convent-bells.
As for the man, he was young, and
handsome as an archangel. His hat was
tossed upon the turf beside hiui his rich
hair hung in confusion about his pale,
dreamy face. Eyes, marvelous in their
pensive splendor, shone from under his
knitted brows. Heedless alike of falling
night and coming tempest, be was hug
ginic the flute an exquisite ins rument,
of silver and ebony to his lips with tbe
rapt air 01 a devotee.
A wayward trill the yduth had at his
flnuer-ends a brilliant bubble of sweet
sound bent upon bursting into airy, tan
talizing failures. Nevertheless, he prac
ticed patiently, coaxing the sweet, swarm
ing notes in an absorbed, impassioned
way, till, ot a sudden, a hand raised the
boughs behind him held them open for
a luce to look through.
In a twinkling, the trill was anutched
rrom the lipaot trie player, from the rpel
low throat uf the flute, and tossed Into
the air by a clear, audacious voice a
girl's voice, without a flaw whirled gid
dily up into the gathering dark, and
dropped again, sudden and short, auown
its silence.
The youth leaped to his feet. Standing
beside him, under the black firs, he saw
a figure in a white bo, lice and short blue
kirtle, the stiver buckles on her shoes,
and a silver chain, with the massive
clasps the Bavarian peasant loves, shining
on her milky throat and bosom. Her
brown, fawn-like eyes were fixed with a
startled, timid look on his face. Far be
low the belt of her trim bodice streamed
the broad plaits of her blonde hair.
"By my faith, that was well done!'
cried the flute-player, half extending his
hand to seize and hold her before she
could escape him ; "who learned you
that trill, my pretty maiden ?"
She seemed about to fly, but his smile,
his reassuring gesture, restrained her.
"The birds on the mountains, she an

"Heavens! you have a voice like an
angel !" he burst out. "Who are you, snd
what are you doing in this lonely iorest
at this hour?"
She flung him a quick, coquettish
glance through the sleek lashes that
swept over her dark, deer-like eyes.
"I am Slarie," she answered, making a
little courtesy "the daughter of Max,
tbe forester. I came to the tir-wood to
find my father's kids. Hark !"
A peal of thunder broke suddenly out
of the dark above them. It crashed with
a deafening roar through the great soli

across it from bank to bank.

above the frightful chasm, he hung sus

to that slim, swaying branch.

remembered only too well.
For a vear alter Wagner s visit to tne

debut either in the Court-chapel or in one
of Wagner's own operas at the royal
theatre, it was whispered, lurtnermore,
that her genius and her personal beauty
wrre alike wonderful, and that she lived
like a nun with the old musician his
constant companion, but secluded utterly
from the outer world.
All this was auite true. A year of lire-
less study developed in Wagner's young
charge such talent as amazed even the
old master. He loved her with that in
stinctive love which attracts genius to
genius. He put rich garments on her.
and seemed to draw from her living,
breathing loveliness a deeper inspiration
than he had ever dene from rare painting
or flower. She shared the weary vigils
he ptid to his art. He confided to her
his dreams, his idealities He called her
daughter she called him father. Her
velvety skin lost the soft brown of the
mountain sun, and became like snow.
She grew tall and marvelously lovely,
like the sumptuous day-lilies blooming
in the chateau gardens.
Meanwhile she never once saw Herr
Ludwig, nor did Wagner ever mention
his name in her presence.
One Summer night Marie sat in a mul
lioned window of Wagner's music-room,
gazing out into the dark of the chestnut
wood. The moon shone above the moun
tains; the air was heavy with the per
fume of flowers. As she looked down on
a terrace below, where, during all the
warm months, coffee and wint were
served afier dinner, she saw pacing
back and forth there, in the shadow of
the trees Herr Wagner and another
figure, tall and handsome, wrapped close
ly in a military cloak.
Her heart gave a great bound, and then
seemed to stand still.
He walked by the side of the old com
poser, his hand resting with familiar ten
derness on Wagner's ahoulder. They
were talking earnestly and in low voices
Marie heard now and then the echo of
her own name dropped in the pause.

He stood for some momenta, gating in

swayed about the window sheltered her
from his view. Presently a deep,
aionate sigh broke from his lint. He
turned and disappeared among the chest
nut trees, and he saw him no more.

A Maohlne That Measures
Tboug-hts.
A machine has been invented by Doc.
tor M38SO, of Turin, which measures
thought It is called theplethysmograph,
and its revelations are based on the fact
that thought creates nervous action,
which consume in its performance a cer
tain quantity of blood, and that quantity
may be measured. In an address before
the American Association of Science,
Professor G. F. Barker describes the
machine and its working as follows:
The forearm, for example, being the
organ to be experimented on, is placed
in a cylinder of water, and tightly in
closed. A rubber tube connects the in
terior of the cylinder witb the recording
apparatus. With the electric circuit by
which the stimulus was applied to pro
duce contraction were two keys, one of
which was a dummy. It was noticed
that, after using the active key several
times. producing varying current
strengths, the curve sank as before, on
pressing down the inactive Key. oince
no real effect was produced, tbe result
was caused solely by tbe imagination,
blood passing from the body to the brain
in tne act.
To test further the effect of mental ac
tion, Doctor Pagliani, whose arm was in
the apparatus, was requested to multiply
two hundred and sixty-seven by eight
mentally, and to make a sign when he
bad finished. The recorded curve showed
verv distinctly how much more blood the
brain took to perform, the operation.
Hem the plethysmograph is capable of
measuring the relative amount oi mental
power required by different persons to
work out the same mental problem. In
deed, Mr. Gaskell suggests the use of this
instrument io the examination room, to
find out in addition to the amount of
knowledge a man possesses, how much
effort it causes him to produce any par
ticular result of brain-work.
Doctor Mosso relates that, while the
apparatus was set up in his room i n Turin,
a classical man came in to see him. He
looked very contemptuously upon if, and
asked of what use it could be, saying that
it couldn't do anvbody any good.
Doctor Mosso' replied: "Well, now, I
can tell you by that whether you read
Greek as easilv as yoa can Latin."
As the classicist would not believe it
his own arm was put iuto the appaiatus,
aud he was given a Latin book to read.
A very slight sinking of the curve was
the result
The Latin book was th"in taken away,
and a Greek book waa given to him. This
produced immediately a much deeper
curve.
iit had asserted before that it was
quite at easy for him to read Greek as
Latin, and that there was no difficulty in
doing either. Doctor Mosso, however,
m able to show him that he wat labor
ing under a delusion.
Again, this apparatus is so sensitive as
to be useful for ascertaining how much a
person is dreaming. When Dr. Pagliani
went lo sleep in the apparatus, the effect
upon the resulting curve was very marked
indeed. Ht said afterward that he had
been in a sound sleep, and remembered
nothing of what Tjassed in the room
that be had been absolutely unconscious ;
and yet, every little movement in the
room such as tha slammibg of a door,
the barking of a dog, and even tbe knock
ing down of piece of glass, were all
maiked oa the curves. Sometime he
moved his lips, and gave other evidence
that he wat dreaming. They were ail
recorded on tbe carve, the amount of
blood required for dreaming diminishing
that ia the extremitiea.
