With n slleuco deep and white,
Every pine, nnd fir, nud hemlock,
Woro ermluo too dear for nn cnrl,
And tho poorest twig on tho elm treo
Was ridged Inch deep with poarl.
From shoJs new roofed with Carrara,
Cnmo Chanticleer's mufllod crow;
Tho stltr rails wcro softened to swan's down,
And still fluttered down tho snow,
I stood and watched by tho window
Tho noIselCM work of tho sky i
And tho sudden flurries of snowbirds,
Llko brown leaves whirling by,
I. thought of a mound In sweet Auburn,
Where a llttlo headstone stood ;
How tho Hakes wcro folding It gcutly,
As did robl ns the babes In tho wood.
Up spoko our own HttloMnbcl,
Faying, "Father, who makes It snow?"
And I told of tho good AU.fnthcr
Who cares for us hero below.
Again I looked nt tho snow fall,
And thoughtof the lcadeusky
That arched o'er our first great sorrow
When that mound was heaped so high.
I remembered tho gradual patlcnco
That fell from that cloud-llkosuow,
Flake by Hake, healing and hiding
Tho scar of our decp-stabbed woe.
And ngaln to tho child I whispered,
"Tho snow that husheth all,
Darling, tho Merciful Father
Alono can niako It fall."
Then, with eyes that saw not, I klscdhcr;
And she, kissing hack, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
Folded closo under deepening snow.

A STKAXOU AX1) THUILI.IX0 STORY.
Tlio rilgltt-shndows wcro beginning
to .sottlG down upon tho earth. All
lay tlio rain had been falling, some--
times in heavy showers ; tho roses and
pinks in tlio garden had a sickly look,
for tlio petals hung low and woro heavy
witli water, and witli mud which had
splashed upon them. Tito clouds wcro
still dark and threatening, bespeaking
a stormy night. Tho llttlo town of
Ashton was unusually quiet. Tho
streets wcro too muddy and tho weath
er too inclement to entice peoplo from
their homes. Only now an d then a sol
itary traveler was to bo seen. Tlieso,
business had driven fortlt ; and thoy
walked with rapid steps', anxious to
again get undersltellcr.
In a vino wreathed cottago on a flow
er sprinkled lawn tho supper had been
wailing over an hour for tlio master of
tho houso, whoso business had necessi
tated his being absent from homo nil
day. Mr. Jacobs was tho tax-colloctor
ot the township, and consequently
could not wait tho return of pleasant
weather boforo pursuing his journoy.
Tliereforo ho had equipped himself in
his India-rubber over-irarmont in the
luriiin nnil hud trono Hbuut 11H bus
iness, leaving his wife tlio proraiso of
an early return in tliocvonlng, but sup
per hour had como and gono without
his making au appearance. Mrs. Ja
cobs, however, was not anxious as yet.
Such delays wero too frequent to cause
this ono to give her any unoasinc-is of
uiintl.
Site ilitted about tlio houio, busy with
her evening duties, singing a gay song
asshaweni. Shu was a bright llttlo
woman, with a world of courage writ
ten in her dark sparkling oyes, and on
the firm red lips.
Anon she disrobed her two Httloones,
and put thorn to bed, and when tlio
night shadows turned into an inkoy
blackness sho seated herself by tho
lamp and began to sow, still leaving
tlio supprr-tablo spread, and tho food on
tho stovo koeping warm for tlio return
of her husband. But tho little clock on
the inantlo shelf had told tho hour ol 10
before his step wa heard at tho door.
Ho camo in hurriedly, and strotlo to a
seat without removing his dripping
outer-garments or his muddy boots
"Was detained. Am in au awful
hurry. Going to Winchester to-night,"
diving his hand into a pocket of his in
ner coat, and glancing anxiously around
tlio room.
"To Winchester 1" ;repeated his wife
in dismay. "Twenty miles In tho
storm I"
"Cin't bo helped," ho returned.
"Business is business, you know."
Ilo removed his hand from his pock
et, and took oil' his hat, -and brushod
back lils fair hair revealing tlio rather
handsome face of a light comploxloned
middlO'tigcd man. Ho had largo gray
eyes, but thoy woro an anxious expres
sion, and their glanco windcred rest
lessly about tho apartment.
"Jane," ho said luddonly, again div
ing ills hand Into tho troublesome pock
et, "do you supposo you could takocaro
of a largo sum of money till to-morrow?"
"Why, yes," sho answered, looking
up In surprise.
"I havo collected five thousand dol
lars," ho continued, "and It is too lato
to get it Into tho bank, and I do not
daro to carry so much with mo."
"Well you can leavo it here as well
as not. No ono would think of my
having such a sum with me."
Ilodrew a largo wallet from his pock
ot and placed It in her hands. .
"It belongs to tlio government, and
If you let It pass from your hands I am
ruined," ho commented. And honroso
as If to depart.
"You aro going to eat soino supper'.'"
hho inquired.
"No, I have no thno to lose I must
niako Winchester by midnight. Good'
byo. Tako good caro of tho monoy
and fasten all tho doors,"
Hogayo her a hurried kiss, and tho
next moment ho was gono.
But tho bound of his footsteps had
scarcely died nway before Mrs. Jacobs
began to feel a strange fear crceplug
over her. Why It was sho kuow not
Sho had lived thero soven years, and
slept in tho houso many a night with
out tho doors being oven shut. Now
they wcro locked and bolted, sho could
not think of going to bed, Sho was too
nervous for that. Sho put tho monoy
in hor dress pocket, and clasping both
tightly in her hands, sho sat very still
gazing anxiously Into nothingness, and
listened so intently that sllenco becaino

FRIDAY, JANUARY
a Tearful mingling of discordant sounds
in her cars.
An hour passed. It had boon an ago
to iter.
"I am glad that I am not rich," sho
whispered as tho clock struck 11.
"What a task it must bo to watch one's
gold I"
Presently sho heard n sound. It was
not tho rain, for thero was n perfect lull
in tho storm, It could not bo a neigh
bor, for sho lived in tho outskirts or tho
village, soveral blocks from any ono,
and sho wa.s not likely to bo called in
cases of sickness.
Again sho heard it. It scorned as if
a window sash was being slowly raised.
Strango that sho should havo forgotten
to fusion thorn down I
"Why didn't John leavo mo his ro
volvcr?" sho mused, "I havo nothing
with which to -defend myself in caso
that I should bo molested to-night. It
was really an oversight in him,"
Again sho heard tho sound, It scorn
ed to como from tho bed-room. It was
surely tho raising of a sash, Then
thero was tho souud of n movement as
though somo ono va3 entering that
way.
Fear nearly paralyzed her for a mo
ment but sho quickly rallied, and tak
ing up tlio lamp, proceeded to investi
gate the matter. Sho had scarcely
opened tho bed-room door when sho
staggered backward with a half sup
pressed scream. Two men in hideous
disguises wcro already in tho room and
a third rulllan wa3 in tho act of crawl
ing through tho window. Involunta
rily sho clutched tho pocket which con
tained tho money, thinking mean
whllo how sho should protect herself
and it. Alasl sho had nothing but her
own weak hands with which to fight
tho battle, and sho well kuow how
powerless they wcro compared, with
thostreugth of tlio enemy.
"What do you want here?" sho ask
ed in a faltering volco.
"Wo want tlio flvo thousand dollars
which you havo in keeping for your
husband," said ono of them.
Thoy know then that sho had It In
her possession.
"You can get no money from mo,"
sho said decisively. "I havo no mon
oy." "A pretty llttlo fib," ho responded
with a laugh. "Wo will Just look in
to your pocket and see.''
In her eagerness toprcscrvo hor treas
ure sho clutched tho pocket of her
dress, in both hands, thus unconscious
ly betraying its whereabouts.
Sho turned palo when tho knowlcdgo
of hor thoughtlessness was revealed to
her.
"You can't havo it ! you shan't havo
it," sho cried, knowing all tho whllo
that they would havo it in spito of her.
"Wo wlllseol" exclaimo.l ono of tho
men, grabbing her in his arms.
bno struggled ticsperatoiy, but was
soon overpowered and tlio money taken
from her.
Then, womanliko sho began to cry.
"Let us go now,'' said ono of tho rob
bers. "You tako tho spondulix and
git, and I will fix her tongue in a way
that it will remain quiet for ono hour
at least."
"Don't hurry," put in another; "I
am darnation hungry, and wo can Just
as well tako a blto horo as not."
The others demurred, but ho continu
ed : "Set to work, you old cal, and get
us some supper. You'vo got a firo and
somo boiling water, and wo want a cup
of tea. To work, I say !''
Mrs. Jacobs know that a refusal
would only subject hor to more indig
nities, and sho arose to do their bid
ding. She put somo more plates on tho ta
ble, along with such food as sho had
cooked, and then proceeded to mako
tho tea, wondering all tho whllo If thero
was any way to regain possosslon of tho
money, and dreading her husband's
anger and dismay on his return shou Id
sho fail to do so.
As sho took tho tea-canister from tho
pantry shelf sho caught sight of a bot
tlo labelled arsenic, her husband had
purchased it on tho previous day, in
order to djslroy tho rats which wcro
becoming troublosorao, but as yet ho
tad used no portion of it.

A few minutes later tho robbers woro

pinir their death.

After a few minutes, ono by ono tho

"I verily bellovo tho jado has poison

ho fell with a deep groan to tho floor.
"I know that sho has poisoned us,"
cried another, "and hor own lifo shall
pay tho foifi-it."
Ho sprang from his scat and started
towards her, revolver ln hand, but foil
ero ho had reached her.
"Jane," exclaimed tho third, "you
havo saved tho monoy, but you havo
murdered mo 1"
How strangely familiar sounded tho
volco! Forgotting nil her old fear in
tho now, Mrs, Jacobs sprang forward
and knelt by thosldoof tho dying man

Jackson and tlio ilravo,
It was whllo ho was Judgo that ho ar
rested tho notorious desperado Bean,
whom nobody clso could arrest. Many
of Bean's decondants aro still living,and
tho placo whero old Hickory's eyes
brought him down Is still pointed out.
Aa tho story runs, Bean went away
and left his family for two years. When
ho returned, his wlfo celobratod tho nil
vont by presenting him with a uow-born
babo. This was a now departure in do
mestic economy, and Bean did not ac
cept tho situation with very good grace.
Ho demanded an explanation, and ln
tho ab3cnco of a satisfactory ono, ho
sharpened his knlfo and deliberately cut
off both oars of tho poor llttlo baby,
playfully remarking as ho did so, that
ho wanted to distinguish it from his
own. Somo thought this was an innocent
proceeding, a practical Joko on tho baby,
In fact, whllo others considered it nn
outrago which should bo punished. Tho
grand Jurytook that vlow of tlio caso and
Indicted Bean. Boan, as usual, brushed
up his horso pistols and said that thoy
might Indict but thoy couldn't nrrost
him. Tho sheriff tried it and was van
quished. Court camo on, tho criminal
docket was called, und thoclork report
ed Bean "not taken."
"What's tho matter?" asked Judgo
Jackson oftho sheriff.
"Nothing's tho matter, only I can't
arrest him,' replied tho official.
"Then, by tho Eternal I summon tho
county to help you, and bring him in
hero," thundered the Judgo.
Tho sheriff gathered up somo citizens,
and advanced on Bean. The latter back
ed himself up against a houso to prevent
a rear attack, drew his pistols, and told
them to como on. Ho was a center shot,
and to have advanced would havo been
certain dcatli to somo. No ono cared to
sacrlflco his life in giving the others a
chanco to mako a start. Tlio sheriff re
ported to Jackson that Bean could not
bo taken without a sacrifice of lives.
"By tho Eternal I summon tho court!"
thundered tho Irato judgo; and "tho
court'1 was summoned.
Jackson refused arms, and advanced
empty-handed and bareheaded upon
Bean. His friends tried to restrain htm,
as ho valued his life, but ho heeded them
not. Ho kept his cold oyes fixedly upon
tho desperado, walked right up to him,
jerked his pistols away, took him by tho
collar, and marched him off to Jail

Tho lato Isaac O. Barnes has been tho

last interview, specially urged his being
present, ho felt in duty bound to ro

very small and uncomfortablo room, lu
thomlddloof which stood tho collin,
that all might take a last look at tho
facoof thodoparted. Tho service was
conducted by two clergymen, friends of
tlio family, who, with their long pray
ers and oxtonded 'remarks,' consumed
nearly two hours, during which Mr.
Barnes suffered untold agonies of sus
penso and impatience. Hardly had tho
Bccond minister pronounced his 'amen,''
when Barnes, In his well knownsquoaky
voice, turning to tho person sitting near
est him, said :
'Did you know Kid?'
'Yes. sir.' Baid tho man add.ossed. In
a low voico.
'Good fellow, wasn't ho?' continued
Barnes.
'Yes, sir,' still in a supprossod tone.
'And ho was a mighty smart one, too,'
squeaked Barnes.
'Very smart,' continued tho other, as
tho company present began to look in
that direction.
'Yos, ho was,' piped Barnes, still
louder, with ono of his expressive ex
pletives, 'and If ho'd have bad tho run
ning of this funeral ho'd havo been un

DEM. - VOL. XXXV NO. 48,
A Masonic Storr.
Two men had been fast friends. In
au ovll hour thoy quarreled. They did
not speak, and had not spoken for years.
Mutual friends tried tho art of reconcil
iation in vain. Thoy wero avowed on
emlos forllfe. Ono of thorn bocamo a
Mason after tlio estrangement, and It
happened that tho other remained ig
norant of tho fact. Ono ovcnlng ho too
wasad'iiilted to a Lodge. Almost the
first volco ho heard, and certainly tho
first faco ho saw, was that of his enemy,
who presided over tho ceremonies of
Initiation, and was obliged, accordtng
to u3ago, to address him by tho tltlo of
"brother." This was a peculiar sit
uation, and a severe ordoal for both.
After tho lodgo was closed tho Appreu
tlco sought tlio Master, and without nny
preliminaries, tho following colloquy
ensued, commenced by tho nowly mado
Mason :
"Aro you a member of this lodgo?"
Tho auawer was "I am."
"Wcro you present when I was elect
ed?"
"I was."
"May I ask If you voted?"
"I did."
"Now will you tell mo how iryuiy
votes It requires to reject a candidate on
ballot for admission?" Tho Worship
ful Master answered "Ono."
Thero was nothing moro to say. Tho
nitiatcd oxtonded his hand, which was
warmly grasped by tlio other, and ut
tered with thrilling acccuts, deep emo
tion mellowing liU voice, "Friend 1
Brother 1 you havo taught mo a lesson
I shall never forget." This Is a llttlo
ray of Masonic light. No languago is
so eloquent ns tho silent throbbing of a
heart full of Joyful tears. Whilo this
kind of cement, is used in our moral ed
ifice, should it not bo enduring.
