When the stars have all gro n still,

And the old homo on the hill.
And I sco the roses blooming

To the frlencs cf long ago.
There I see my mother sitting
Wllh 1 Imo's snow flakes on her hair,
And she smiles above her knitting
A nd her f.ico Is saintly fair.
And I seo my father reading
From tho Illble on his knee,
And again I hear hltn prajlng.
As, of old, ho prayed for me.
Oh, tho dear, remembered fACss
Of tho boys and girls at home I
They ore here, as In life's morning,
Kro our feet had learned to roam,

Kar and wide our feet hav e wandered
From tho old home's tender ties i
Foine have crossed the ocean's billows.
Some havo passed beyond the skies.
And my heart grows sad with thinking
Of I ho friends I used to know ;
Oh, pray Ood I meet In Heaven

Select Story.
THE SPY.
It was nearly n hundred years aro, on 11
bitter December night in tho dark year of
17i(i, that f-reo persons were earnestly en
gaged in conversation, in a small room of a
house on second street, opposite Christ
Church, in tho city of Philadelphia. Tho
dimly Ilaring light of a wax candle revealed
tho group as they sat by the table an old
man, a beautiful young woman and youth
attired in tho Continental uniform. Tho
topic upon which they conversed seemed to
agitato them greatly. Tho old man was
especially nervous, and while ho was tonic-
itifr. there suddenly came a great dash of
sleet against the window, and tho startling
crash of a banging shutter, that caused him
to start with a look of alarm and lose tho
thread of speech. When ho rosumed, he
said tremulously :
'God be merciful to us all I These aro
evil times t Methought I heard the rattle
of drums and musketry I May tho good
Ood defend us ?'
'Ainen,' said tho young soldier, reverent-
ly.
'Go on, daughter !' continued tho old man
addressing the girl. 'Tell us what thisson
of Belial hath said to thee 1'
'I will tell tho all,' answered tho young
woman, with tears in her eyes.
'This man, Robert Esteleck, hatii been my
ctou for years ! Ho has tortured me with
his attentions claimed my heart and hand,
although I spurned and despised him, and
dogged my fctc-ps everywhere. Have I not
told lum that 1 was thy betrothed ?' laying
her hand soflly on the soldier's. 'The wife
of thee,, the bravo Joseph Stamford ! He
knows no honor, Uut toIay,he telleth me,
union I become his wifo ho will bring dis
grace and ruin upon mo and mine. He
taunted me said to me, 'beware of me, if
thou roueeth me 1' Heaven pity mot What
can I do to avert his pursuit, his calumny ?
To-day ho hath even spoken to me the evil
1
'Say no mora J' ejaculated tho soldier,
grinding his chair back upon the polished
tloor, and smiting his sword hilt wilh the
palm of his hand. Peace, Alice, peace, in
God's name 1 I have heard enough 1 I
know all 1 This maddens me I This man,
this monster of a Kobert Esteleck shall not
escape me 1 He shall not escape me I He
shall not escape me ? He shall not live !
So, by heaven I'
'What is this?' broke in the old man, with
an expression, pf anger. 'Mad words and
malite I Man ugaint man ! Is this thy
talk ? Prithee, let me hatrn 110 more of it I
Ltave the wicked to God,. 'Vengeance is
mine, saith the Lord 1'
This rebuke brought a spejl of s;iUace up
on the place for a moment. In an instant
alterward there was a great knock atUo
door.
'It's the wind,' cried the old man with a
face of terror.
The knocking continued louder and
louder.
Alice and tbo young soldier running with
one impulse to open ths door, there entered
two dripping figures.
'A bad night I' said one of the wen. iu ho
entered the" room.
'Yea, verily, friend !' answered the old
man peering at the new-comers ; then con
tinuing, 'Art not thou Captain Tamper?'
that Is my name, and I present you to
Corporal llest, at your service,'
And your name is Abraham Shippen. I
mistake not V said tho officer.
'True, true,' said tho old man : 'and Cap
tain Tamper and Corporal llest are welcome
to shelter, God knows. Draw near the fire,
menus.'
I'm sorry to say It's a had night, and bad
business brings us I' Baid the officer, 'There
was a large meeting to-day at tho Indian
Queen Hotel, on Fourth street ; respecting
immediate action against spies, Tories and
friends of tho king, Several were implicated.
Among others, the Committee of Safety
give us tht name of one Hobert Esteleck.
'Ah I' broke in the young soldier.
'And ouo Joseph Stamford I'
A (cream t rom Alice. A sudden outburst
from the others. 'Joseph Stamford I'
riio young soldier ruse up, and bowing to
the officer, said excitedly : 'At yor service,
Captain Tamper I Joseph Stamford Is pres

'What ?'
'This is strange brolo in Alice. 'We
are true patriots all, Heaven be our wit
ness I'
Does this look like hvinir the Kim.?'
said the young soldier, touching his military
coat aim aworil, 'Ah, ha I It's a good joke
Captain! A good joke!'
'Friends !' exclaimed the old man ; 'I'm
man of peace, an old Quaker, a foe of foes,
an enemy of blood-sheddlm?. vet I am fain,.

let no one insult tho flag of our rights in my
home. I will fight fur my beartb.tny country,

'One can't tell friend from fo, these time

'Wo but do our duty,' said Captain Tam
per, 'We havo orders to hold our men until
the Council of Safety decides !'
'But I am a friend of independence. I
go to join Waihlngton to-morrow,' said Jo
seph, 'So might the gallant Robert Esteleck al
lege,' answered the Captain.
'Captain 1' cried Joseph, know you this
man Esteleck 7"
'Not I, comrade.'
'Then,' returned losepb, let me tell you
what he Is like. Ho Is like any other sneak
ing, smiling, smooth facet), little black-eyed
-villain you ever saw ; wears his own red
hairlifd tup with a black ribbon and pow
dered. Only be limps n little. A bullet
wound they say J Oh I know him '
'Where is he 7' asked the Captain.
'Everywhere,' answered Joseph, 'and in
all disgulses-but, Captain, on my parole of
honor as a soldier, 1 promise to appear to
morrow before the Council and take the
oath of allegiance if need be. Leave me
alono for tills night.
'So bo it I' said the Captain ; 'but wo
must find Esteleck. The town is incensed
against traitors and spies and they wilt mob
your houso if you harbor him. Can you
point him out 7'
'Good sir, said Alice, the man you seek
hath often visited this house, but will do so
no ,more. Though I hate him. I will not
slander him, he is a truo patriot and no spy.'
lut, tut I' blurted Joseph, 'a patriot for
sooth a Tory scamp 1 a ren52ade I Art
tiioti on ad, Alice 7'
Wo have no time tolose?' said the officer
brusquely. 'Lady, farewell 1 Soldier m
member to-morrow ! Good night, master !'
So saying, Captain Tamper and tho Corporal
left the room abruptly, followed by Joseph,
who opened the street door for them.
'Ha, ha?' exclaimed the Captain, as he
looked across t lie street 'Old you mako
that 7'
A muffled figure sank into the shadow of
the great church opposite. ' Wc must keep
our eyes opeu.'
tSo so 1' cried Joseph. There is somo
mischief atoot to-night I Captain stay in
the neighborhood for Gods sake! That looks
suspicion. Good-night to ye' and Joseph
slammed tbecor and ran shivering into the
room.
'Haste thee, while I tide mystlf behind
these foldiog doorc of, the room.'
Alice opened th.e door ,to p tall man
wrapped In a wet cloak And wearing long
horsemen's boots, with a faint cry she rec
ognized him, and strove to keep him out.
He pushed her aside geutly and entered the
parlor. Abraham Shippen glared at the in
truder a moment and then cried 'Evil on
evil t Hath tho wicked night brought thee
to punish us 7 Away wretch, or as old as I
am I will myself drag thee forth 1 Away
Robert Esteleck ; I will not harbor thee.'
Hobert Esteleck smiled. He was always
smiling, always smooth-voiced. He threw
his cloak and said, 'Peace, good Bir! Lis
ten to me, I am your friend, and you will
find it out. Do you know the danger you are
in i The British are e'en now at the thresh
old of the city. They will slay all I Fire,
ravage and death await us! But I see a war
to escape, I come to rescue you and your
aaugnter '
'Stop!' interrupted Alice with a defiant
gesture. 'Robert EsUsleck, thou hast sought
to dishonor me do not jiflsult me further I
I forgive thee all ! Vet X beg of thee leave
us instantly. Thy life is in .dacger I Al
ready have the o&fltfrs beeu herelnawirch
of thee I stay not a moment. Forget thy
wicked designs and save thyself. Bo quick;!
The town is alarmed against thee I'
Robert Esteleck smiled at her, but his
smile was the smile of anger now.
'Oh ! my beauty ? I care not for myself
nor care I for your devoted father there, I
want you ! I will have you ! Come !'
He seized her hand. She withdrew with
a scream, and the old father clasping his
hands cried out 'God deliver us from this
scourge I'
At that instant the folding doors Mew
open.
There stood Jorepb Stamford.
The villain did not forget his smile I He
dr,ew a pistol from his inner waistcoat and
slice it at the soldier. Fortunately the
flint lock laimed fire. In an instant more
the old man wrenchtvl the weapon from the
rascal's gaasp.
'I arrest you w a traitor and spy,' cried
Joseph, drawing bis sword and rushing on
Esteleck, 'Give me your sword.'
The coward yielded the weapon without a
word. Hfs face became livid.
'Alice, let in the officers 1' cried .Tmenh
and shortly afterward Caotain Timtwr and
lht Corporal, who had been waiting in an
aney way re-entered.
Here's your man continued Jnumh
breathlessly. 'A spy, a villain keeping up
