My thoughts t(ii back to tho rosy prime,
And memory palnbi anew tho scenes
Afar In tho bleak Now England clime,
Thouzh half n century intervenes,
oa a highway cornor tho school homo stands,
Under an elm tree broad anl tall,
And rollicking children lu laughing bands
Como at tho m ister'a warning call.
They pile together their s'.cdi and skates.
Hang liats and hoo ds In tho entry way,
And gathering pencils, books and slatos.
Diligent study succeeds to play.
A mountain stream turns a gray stone mill,
That runs with a slo v and slumberous sound,
And thero In f tncy I wander still,
Teaching school and boarding around.
Near by Is a farm housj large and tquare,
With doors and casements painted red,
A stoop that shades from the summer glare,
And wood well p'lud In tho sheltering shed.
Thuro's an ancient b tru with swallow holc3
High In the g.v'i:c. threo In a line;
Tho lltho bay cilt in the deep snow rolls;
From racks of h ty feed the docllo kino.
C oscly aro huddled the tlreaom) sh Sep.
As tho 11 Alls resound from th) threshing noor.
Tho pilfering poultry stealthily creep
Aui sllettly watch at tho open door
For each stray kernclof shilling grain.
Full of content was tho lot I fouud
Among tho farm folk, hor.est and plain,
Tcachtag school and boarding around
The farmer's table has lavUh supplies;
Chicken, and sausage of llwor rare,
Crullers anl co'kles, and puddlLgsnid pies,
A c Items rich In the bill of fare,
Tho icachir sleeps In a wldo soft bed
Kept clean for guests In tho great spare room,
With gray chintz curtains over his head
And blankets woro In the lund-looin.

S.irings from her rest thntjh the morn Is

And breakfast ond jd, we h isto away
O'er tho shining crust to tho district schojl.
Here morals are puro, and manners sincere,
And men In tho church and statu renowned
Havemado tho flrststepln a granl career,
Teaching school and boardlug around
In the moonlight evening long and still
Tho youta assemble from nuny a farm;
Though the air without Is crisp and still,
There's a bright wood Are and a welcomo

Nuts and apples aro passed around,
The hands of tho clock get a backward turn,
Innocent frolic and mirth abound
Till low In their sockets tho candle3 burn.
Young men nnd maidens ot artless ways
Aro drawn together In groups like this;
Their hands aro lolncd In tho rural plays,
And sweet Bps meet In the guileless kiss;
Twin heart) are llnkjd with a golden cluln,
And love with marriage Is o rly crowned.
How oft I dream I am there again,

HOW TOJI I'MJIKOSE l'KOTKOTEI)
HIS FATHER.
BY SIDNEY DAI HE.
Mr. Primrose arrived at lioino ono
morning just as tho family wuro gather
ing for breakfast. IIo had been for two
days at a small town about !!0 miles dis
tant, to which lie had been summoned to
assist in the trial of a pair of noted
crimi lals.
"You look tired out," said Mis. Prim
rose.
"Tired enough," ho said. "I have been
up nearly all night."
"How did it happen
ell, it was partly tny own fault. I
met my old friend Philip Sanford up
thero ; he was on tho defense in tho casu
I was prosecuting. We had a grand tilt
over it tougiit eaeii other vigorously all
tho way through. Tho chief criminal
shook his list at mo when 1 was making
the closing snefch. I began to seo that
tho casu was coins' against me. and I
pressed the rascals pretty hard."
"1 Jeanne! said .Mrs. rniuro?e,witli an
mxious nice. "1 am always in tear of
somo of these desperato characters do
ing you somo injury out of rovenge,"
iho gentloinan laughed. "I Jon t worry
ottrself, dear," ho said. "Thero is much
more to bo feared from the rogues who
go uncaught than from tluxo who feel
tho strong grasp of tho law. Hut as I was
telling, tlio case went to tho jury about
nine last night, and then .Sanford
ind I got down to a gamo of chess. If
uiun t beat mm at law, 1 beat htm well
at tho gamo and it was ono o'clock be
fore wo tcok heed of tho time. Then, as
my train was duo at three, it was not
orth whilo to go to bed, so wo iilaved
and talked on. When I got to tho sta
tion, I found the train was behind time.
so I lay on a bench till it Jcamc, at live,
and hero I am."
"You will take a rest now?"
"Not a bit," ho Biiid, opening somo let
tors ho found waiting lor him. Ihisiness
is pressing just now. Ha! ha!" ho c.x-
claimed, "this is good news. Wo will
have those rogues in tho pciulontiarv
CU"
"What is itf asked Mrs. Primrose.
"Why, I told vou iust now that I
feared tho jury would not convict on the
evidence, although it was convincing to
me. liero is a letter lroin tho s honli of
Hancock county, who wishes that those
samo tellows bo held to answer ton
chargo of complicity in a batik robbery,
inch took, placo in tho county somo
months since. If tlio iurv fails'to con
ict, tho prisoners must bo arrested tho
moment they are discharged."
naiiier n Hamper on them, I hhoiild
say,' said l ranis, with a chuckle.
"1 oud bo astonished to soo what do-
cent looking men they are," continued
his father. "Tho chit f ciimiiinl would
impress you as having been trained for n
gentleman, nnd his accomplice is not
much more than abov: both nro well
esscd. Tho daintiest littlo noarl iiiniin.

"Ho can not." said Mrs. Pi illllYWfi.
I'm sorry, but ho sprained his font vn
terday, and must keep tiitiet for n"fow-
ays."
"Hints bad for the boy and for me
must hurry down town and semi
ono else."
papa, let mo go 1" said Tku,

highly delighted nt the prospect of Hitch
an unexpected little jaunt, went to get
ready. lie meant to act through the
whole matter with such caution and
judgment as to fully convince his father
of tho propriety of intrusting him with
the weightiest concerns. And hi j first
care was to leave for the station iu such
good timo as to put all fears of his miss
ing the train out ot the question
Alas, poor Tom!
"Now, where is my hat?"
Tlio inquiry was a sound of dismay iu
the Primrose household. Tom's hat was
always missing. Thero was no spot iu
the house, yard, barn or garden, where
it might not be hopefully searched for.
'Where did you have it last?" his
mother asked. Some ono was always sure
to ask that.
"I don't know yes, I remember put
ting it on Hovers head, and he ran
away with it. No, I found it after that
behind tho coal house. I had it when
wo were playing hide and seek last
evening."
Tom was usu illy left to do his own
hunting, but in such an emergency as
this all tho family energy was aroused
Uneasiness gathered in every face as timo
went on.
"Let me see your old hat," said his
mother at last. Hut tho old hat proved
too shabby to be thought of. Then his
brother's hat was tried, but Frank was
threo years older, and it would not
do. "
"Wear it down to Mr. I'amsay, the
hatter's," said his mother. "Tell him of
your difficulty and he will lend you a hat
for a few hours." Hut Tom did not like
to do this, and ho continued his hu.it
longer than was prudent. At length his
littlo sister came from tho barn with a
nose of triumph and tho missing hat. It
had been lying in a corner of the hay
loft, where ho had hidden tlio night lie
fore. IIo seized it gratefully and was
oit iiKo tno wind.
Tho locomotive was hissing in tho
station, as Tom hot and out of breath,
asked for a ticket to Homer. Then he
felt for his pocket book iu one pocket
and then another, growing hotter as ho
failed to find it. After thorough
seaich ho concluded, with intense dis
may, that his run must have shaken it
from his pocket, lie knew ho had no
timo for thought. At a distance of
about half a block was situated the of
fice of one of his father's friends. He
rushed over to it and told his troubles in
a few words.
"Hurry, Tom, hurry," said the gentle
man, as already the premonitory puff of
tho engine sounded. "Don't stop for a
ticket, but board tho train if you can;
but Stop, lioi ! Ilallo.thero!" ho shout
ed: "don't let that boy jump on that
train !"
Ho ran after Tom as he flow toward
the now moving train, which the boy
was fully resolved to board. Hut ho
was seized by friendly hands.
"You can't do that, my boy t:o, sir,''
as Tom struggled. "Have you no con
cern for your life or limbs?"
"I tnitst go on that train ; I will," cried
poor Tom,in utter dispair. Hut it moved
pitilessly on, while a few men gathered
near to inquire into his trouble.
"It was about somo business for my
father," ho exclaimed, hardly ablo to
force back his tears, as ho realized what
a terrible failuro ho had made at the
outset. "It was very important, and
what shall I do?"
"There's a freight train going up," said
a brakeman.
"When ?" asked Tom eagerly.
"In about half an hour. It'll bo slow,
though. You'll get to Homer about 11,
if that'll do you?"
Tom could only ltopo it might.
After a ride mado long by anxiety ho
stood at last before Sheriff Caroll and
presented his letter, waiting breathlessly
to hear what ho might say.

slowly walked back to tho station.
Ho watched eagerly as tho return train
came in, in hope of seeing somo kind of
"scrimmage, as lie mentally expressed
it, which might look like an arrest. Hut
nothing ot the sort occurred. IIo did
not seo even n force of policemen draw up
with threatening aspect, as ho had iv.
pected, and mado up his tnitid that Car

As Tom rode along, ho foil too much

iully indicated that he was now on his
way to seek revenge. How? Poor Tom

might not understand the catch, lie

nothcr was iu tho kitchen canning fruit.
Glad not to sec her, Tom sprang up the
stairs and knocked at his father's door,
begging to bo let in.
"1 am bathing, Tom," was thoans.ver;
wait a little."
"Oh, father," pleaded Tom. "do let me
speak to you just one minute."
lom s claims to bo hoard were usually
urgent, so his father only said : "Ilavoit
littlo patience, my boy in ten minutes
I'll hear all you've got to say."
Ten minutes ! What might happen iu
ten minutes! If ho waited up there the
criminals might find themselves shut in,
guess that they were under suspicioii.and
nmko good their escape. If ho went to
call help his father might, iu his absence
run into the very danger iio was seekiii"
to save him from.
A bright thought came to him. So
long as his father remained in his room
ho must bo safe. Tom turned tho key
iu tho door, and lucked him in. Then
with all tho speed which terror could
lend to a boy's nimble feet, ho ran to the
police station, a few blocks distant,
reaching it,in a condition which only left
him ablo to convey a general idea" that
something dreadful was going ou at Mr.
Peinroso's. Two policemen were there.
First sending a message to headquarters
for further fore-,', they followed Tom in
all haste, a small crowd of bystanders
falling into lino a-.d gathering strength
as they neared the Primrose domicile.
As they came to tho gate Tom kiw the
accomplice trying lo open tho window.
"See! They're getting awav," he cried.
And the policemen bouiukil into the
house and seized the two men. At this
moment a heavy pounding was heard
overhead. Tom turned paler than be
fore. 'There must bo more of them up
staiis," ho shrieked; "they aro gotl'ui"
after my father."
IIo tote up tho stairs and found tho
room still locked; but tho pounding kept
on. lie turned the key with a trembling
hand,
"Who locked me iu C exolaimul his
father. "Such foolery " Ho stopped in
surprise as half a dozen tnon tramped
hastily up stairs.
"Aro you hurt Mr. Primrose?" A o tho
rascals iu there?"
"Hurt ? No, What's the matter? what
is all this fuss about?" Ho stared iu
amazement at tho crowd presshi" Into
tho hall. "Is the houso on fire?"
"Not a bit. sir; but wo'vo got two of
tho men in there."
Ho pushed his way down stairs and was
met by several policeinen.who hud made
their way through tho crowd outside. As
tho principal excitement seemed in the
parlor, ho turned that way. The eves of
all were turned upon two quiet looking
men, who stood with a policenim's hand
upon each shoulder.

"I thought they wore tho criminals,

said tho criminals were such nice looking

"Uo on, said the father. "I don't nn.

"1 ho burglars were gono when I got
to Homer ; they sat behind mo on the
cars, and talked about being revenged on
you, pajn ; and ono of them had that re

his father's hand.
The two crimnals laughed licaitily.
'I believe I see into it now," said Mr.
Sanfwrd. "I said I was coining here to
get revengo for tho beating you gave mo

from his pocket "was given mo this

others followed, with increasing merri

made. A shout aroso from tho crowd
outside as it left tho premises.
"I beg your jiardon, sir ; and yours,"
faltered poor Tom, with his strongest
effort to keep back tho tears of mortifica

milted.
"No pardon is neoorsarv," said Mr.
Sanford. "If my own small boy lives

I u tho early history of Cummin Hit v.
when Calamity and Lengthy Johnson
and Tapeworm Charlie were tho bon-ton
of the new gold camp, there was a man
whom wo will call Dr. Farrar, who went
there partially to assay for tho camp and
partially to wear out his young life. Dr.
Farrar had a pretty up hill job of it from
tho start, for the mines hadit I boomed
very fast at firsl.and a good many of tho
boys sent their samples of oretoSa'lt Lako
or Denver for assay.aud the rest of them
used to salt his flux and get a big show
ing and then stand him up for his pay.
Ono honest miner gilded tho pestlo ono
night in tho assay ollice, and sold his
gopher holo ou irgiuia Hill tho next
day ou an assay of $1,."il8 to tho ton.
After a while Dr. Farrar found that ho
had to lock up his mortar and flux in his
trunk and sleep with his crucibles, or his
reputation as an aswyist would becomo
a by word and a stench in tho nostrils of
tho pilgrim with tho plug hat, and tho
tender-foot would say "Iio upon him," and
