ONIA A HUSK.
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. Jos S Havman. Marvin . I
steak ; aud all day long a ray of light had
ucc uu, . .uiuiiiv,iuK oeiore uei
a ray from tho blessed light of other days.
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. My remembrance
of you will always be relieved by that
tingo of wrath and brightness."

sceno in court with a stupid witness. A
man has been caught in the act of theft,
and pleaded in extenuation that he was

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."

stupidity) -"You don't understand me at

Witness, reflectively "Well, he might

Those bright chronometers of da)s and jears;
They ans cred, "Time Is but a meteor glare,"
And bade mo for eternity prepare.
I asked tho Seasons, In their annual round,
And they replied (no oraclo more wise),
'"Tls Polly's blank, and Wisdom's hltfbcst prize!"
I asked a spirit lost, - but O the shriek

l'oe Reciting "The Haven." .
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

iV New Pompeii has been discovered In
Italy. At tho foot of 3Iount Oargano a
buried town has been laid bare, the houses
being twenty feet below thosurtace. 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 !' "Umph I"
quoth tho parson j "Joshua commanded tho
sun to stand still, did he T" "Yes." "Well,
"Very well. Did you ever hear that he set
it a going again ?"
What it lieu Lays flu,
The lllsliop of HcreJ'ord was examlulne
school class the other day, and among other
tilings askeil what au average was. Several
boys pleaded Ignorance, but one at last re
plied ; "It is what a lieu lays on." This
auswer puzzled the Riahop uot a little, but
the boy persi.ted In It, stating that he had
read It tu his little book of facts. He was
then told to bring his little hook, and on do
ing so he poiuted triumphantly tn u para
