Tom Tracy, yet a young man, had grown to bo a very bail one. At heart ho might have been nil right If his heail and hU wll1 hail only been right, but these being wrong the whole machine nas going to tho bail very fat, though thcro wero times when the heart felt some of lis truthful ycarrlngi. Tom had lost tils pines as foreman of the machine shop ntid.'vhat money he had earn ed came from odd-join of tinkering, which ho was able to do here and there at private houses; for Tom was a genius as well as mechanic, and when his head was steady enough he could mend a clock or clean a walch as well as ho could set up and regu lato an engine and this latter ho could do better than any other man ever employed by the Scolt's Falls Manufacturing Company. One day Tom had a job to mend a broken mowing machine and reaper, for which h received W ; and on the following day ho started out for his old haunt tho village tavern. Ho knew that his two children were n absolute sulTiriiig from need of clothing, and that morning he held a debate with the better part of himself, but the better part had become very weak and shaky, and the emon of appetlto carried tho day. So away to the tavern Tom went, where for two or three hours ho felt the cxhilar,t tig effects of tho alcoholic draught, and fancied himself happy, as he could sing and augh j but, as usual, slupeficatlon followed nd the man died out. Ho drank while he could stand, and then lav down in a corner, where his companions left him. It was late at night when the landlord's wife came into the bar-room to see what kept her husband up, and sho quickly Ban- Tom "l'etcr she said, not in a pleasant mode," why don't you scud that miserable Tom Tracy home? He's been hanging around here long enough Tom in his stupefication was not sound asleep. The dead coma had Uft his brain and the calling of his name stung his sense to keen attention, Ho had an innate love of rum, but did not love tho landlord. In other years l'eter Tindar and himself ad loved and wooed the sweet maiden Ellen Goss and he won her leaving l'eter to take up with the vinegary spiustcr who had brought him the tavern, and ho knew that lately the tapster had gloated over the misery of the woman rfho bad once discard ed him "Why don't you send him home ?" de manded Mrs. Tindar, with an impatient stamp of tho foot, "Huih, Retsy I He's got money. Let him be, and he'll be sure to spend it before he goes home. I'll have the kernel of the nut and his wife may have tho husk!" With a sniff and snap, Retsy turned away, nd shortly afterwards Tom Tracy lifted himself upon his elbow. "Ah, Tom, you are awake I" "Yes."- lhcn rouso up and have a warm glass," Tom got upon his feet and steadied him self. "No, l'eter, I wont drink anymore to night." It won t hurt vou, lorn just one glass." I know it won't!" said Tom, buttouing up his coat by the solitary button left, "I know it won't And with this ho went out into tho chill air of midnight. When ho got away from the shadow of tho tavern, he stopped aud looked up at the stars and then he looked down upon the earth. "Aye" ho muttered, grinding his heel in the gravel, "l'eter Tiudar is taking the kef' nel, and leaving poor Ellen the worthless and I am helping him to do it. I am rob bing my dear children of honor and comfort and robbing myself of lovo and life just that Peter Tindar may have the kernel and Ellen tho husk 1 -We'll see I" It was a revelation to tho man. Tho tav ern keeper's speech, meant not for his ears, had come upon his senses as fell the voice of the Rising One upon Saul of Tarsus. "We'll see!" he said, setting his foot firm ly upon the sand ; and then he wended his way homeward, On the following morning ho said to his wife : "Ellen, have you any coffee in tho house?" "Yes, Tom." She did uot tell him that her sister had given it to her. She was glad to hear him ask for coffeo instead of the cold cider, "I wish you would make it good and strong," There was really music in Tom's voice, and tho wife set about her work nith a strange feeling nt her heart, Tom drank two cups of tho strong fragrant coffee, and then went out went out with a resolute step, and walked straight to the great manufactory, where he found Mr.Scott iu his office. "Mr. Scott, I want to learn my trade over again, saidlom. "Eh, Tom, what do you mean ?" "I mean that It's Tom Tracy, coino back to the old place, asking forgiveness for tlie past, and honing to bo better iu tho future." "Tom," cried tho manufacturer, starting forward aud grasping his hand' "aro you in earnest I Is it really the old Tom ?" "It's what is left of him, whole and strong very soon, if you'll only set him to work "Work? Aye, and bless you too? Thero is an engine to be set up and tested to-day Come with me," Tom's bauds were weak and unsteady,but tils brain was clear, und under his skllliul supervision the engine was set up mid tested, but it was not perfect. There were mistakes which he had to correct, and It was late iu the evening when the work was completed "How Is it now, Tom ?" asked 3Ir. Scott as he came into tho testing department aud found the workiugmen ready to depart. "She's all right, sir. You may glye your warrant without fear," "God bless you, Tom ! You don't know- how like music the old voice rlugi. Will you take your place again !" iivij.,1. ,111 SI 1... .1- ir in I in, nu mummy, sir. ai yuu win oner it to me then, I will take it.' At the little cottage, Ellen Tracy's flutter- ; heart was sluking. That morning after Tom had gune she fouud a dollar bill In the coiieecup. sue unew tuat Tom had left it luruer. dub uau ueeu out anu uougnt tea Ilughis, John I Hartman, Rocd R A'urga aud sugar, flour, butter, and u bit of tender Lou : Cornoral.

Willi prayer and hope alio had set out the table and waited,but the sun went down and no Tom came. Eight o'clock and nearly n Inc. Hark I Tho old step 1 quick, eager for home. Yes, it was Tom, with tho old grime upon his hands and the odor of oil upon his garments. 'I Intro kept you wailing, Nellie." Tom I" "I didn't mean to, but tho work hung on." 'Tumi Tom 1 You have been to tho old shop !" "ea, ntiil I am bound to have thoold place.nnd " "Oh, Tom!" And she threw her arms around his ncck and covered hU face with klses. "Nellie, darling, wait a little, and you shall have the old Tom back again." 0 lorn I I've got him now bless vou, my dear Tom ;my darling husband !'' And then Tom Tracy realized tho full power aud bleating of a woman's love. It was a banquet of God's was that sup- or. llie angels of peace and love and joy once more spreading their wings over the houiehold. On the following Monday morning Tom Tracy assumed his place at the head of the great machine shop,and those who thorough ly knew him had no fear of his going back into tho slough of joylcssneis. A few days later Tom met l'eter Tindar, tho tavern keeper, on the street. "Eh, Tom, old boy, what's up?" "Tho right side," replied Tom. "Yes, I see, but Inupe you hiivn't forsak en us." "I have forsaken only tho evil you have in store, l'eter. Tho fact is, I concluded that my wife and little ones had fed on husks lung enough, and if there was a good kernel left in my heart, or iu my manhood, they should have it." "Ah, you heard what I said to mynife that night?" es, l'eter j and I shall be grateful to you for it as long as I live.

What did the JIan Nay. sceno in court with a stupid witness. A man has been caught in the act of theft, and pleaded in extenuation that he was drunk. Court-(to the policeman, who was wit ncss ) "What did the man say when you arrested him?" Witness "He said lie was drunk." Court "I want his precise words, lust as no uttereil tliem, no illiln't use the pronoun he uiu;ne r lie tilUu t tay ho was druuk 1" Witness -"Oh, yes, he did he said tie was drunk : ho ackuowledned the corn."

Onco in discussing "The Raven," Poe ob served that he had never heard it correctly delivered by even tho best readers that la, not as he desired that it should beread. That evening a number of visitors being present, he was requested to recite the poem, aud complied. His impressive delivery held the company spell-bound, but in the midst of it, I, happeniug to glanco toward the open window nbov the level roof of the green house, beheld a group of sable faces the whites of whose eyes shone in strong relief against the surrounding darkness. These were a number of our family servants, who having heard much talk about "Mr, Poe,the poet.," and having but an imperfect idea of what a poet was, had recjuested permission of my brother to witness the recital. As the speaker became more impassioned and exci ted, more conspicuous grew the circle of white eyes, until when at length be turned suddenly toward the window, and extending his arm, cried, with awful vehemence : "(let thee back Into tho tempest, and tho night's Tlutoulan hhore I" . there was a sudden disappearance of the sa ble visages, a scuttling of feet and the gal lery audieuce was gone. Ludicrous us was tho incident, the final touch wasgiveu when at that moment 3Iiss l'oe, who was an ex traordinary character in lier way, entered the room with a dull and drowsy delibera tion seated herself on her brother's knee. He had subsided from his excitement into a gloomy despair, and now, fixing his eyea pon his sister, he concluded : 'And the raven never flitting, still U sitting. Bttll Is Is sitting, On tho pauid bust of rallas, Just aboe my chamber door ; And Its eyes have all the seeming of a demon that Is dreaming " Tho effect was irresistible; and as the final "nevermore" was solemnly uttered tho half-suppressed titter of two veiy young persons in a corner was responded to by a genernl laugh. Poe remarked quietly that on his next delivery of a public lecture he would "take Rose along to act the part of tho raven, in which she seemed born ft ex cel. .1ra.

A tem ple of Diana was first brought to light, then a portico composed of columns without cap itals, and, finally, a necropolis covering four acres. T ho Italian Government has taken measures to continue the excavations on a large scale, and has already discovered a monument erected in honor of Pouipcy after his victory over the pirates. The town is the ancient Sipontum, of which Strabo and Livy speak, and which was buried by an earthquake. Soon after tho Copernican system of as tronomy began tn bo generally understood, an old farmer went to his parson with the following inquliy : "Dr. T, do yon believe in.tbe new f-tory they tell about the earth moving around the sun 1" Yes, certainly," "Do you think it is according to the Scrip tures 7 If it's true, how could Joshua com mand the sun to stand still !'
