Give trie a man with an aim,

Wlietlier it's wenlth or whether it's fame,
It matters not io me.
Let him walk in the path of right,
And keej his aim in iy;ht,
Ami work and pray in f.utli away,
With his eje on the glilteiiug height.
(Jive me a man who says,
I wiil do something well,
Aud make the tieeting days
A utotj of labor tell."
Though the aim he has be small,
It is better than none at all ;
With something todo the whole year thro',
lie will not Sjiuinbli) or fall.
Hut Satan weaves a snare
For the lee; of those who stray,
W ith ne-Vtti' a thought or a care
here the path may lead away.
The man wlio Lath no aim
.Not only leaves no name
When tin life'a done, but ten tit one
lie leaves a record of shame.
Give me a man whose heart
is tilled with ambition's lire ;
W ho sets his mark ui the Stan,
Ai.d moles it higher aud higher.
Better to tite in the strife,
'1 he bauds with labor rife.
Thau to gnde with the sucam in an

And live a purposeless life.
J'Yvm I'iret'.nojicut Journal for April,
leeeli t olio writ by Tckgcaucr,
a tale of sew yokk and san francisco. .
j
"I found the bodv lving by the road-'
slue, ao weapon
near it. 1 hurried
oi any kind was j
to the next house !
and knocked al tiie door.
A man came
out, and togeth er we ran to the place.
And that s all i know about it.;'
The coroner wrote rt.pidly, and then
at the conclusion of tins witness' tes
timony, invited the jury to examine
the bony. It was that of a young man
with the fair hair clotted with blood
about tue forehead, and a deep cut in
the temple; but, with the exception of
these disfigurements, the face was pla
cid and comely enough. The verdict
was easily decided on:
"That W aiter Knowles met his death
at the hands of parties unknown," etc.
In the village, a young place, and a
good sample ol the towns of rapid Cal
ifornia growth, the murder made con
siderable sensation. Knowles, since
he commenced to till tiie position of
telegraph operator in the place, was
alvvavs very ooimlar. ami iiiiii.-irentK-
had no enemies. He was an inoffen
sive, agreeable young fellow, and was
not addicted to playing poker or bil
liards, or lounging about bar-rooms, or
practicing any of the ordinary small
vices of tue young men of the period.
Of his family connections, or where he
came from, none were aware, liis let
ters were from men in San Francisco,
who, when written to on the subject,
knew no more of the telegraph opera
tor than that he was a pleasant fellow,
and that they felt sorry for his blood v
j death. And so Knowles was laid to
; rest in the new cemetery with the mvs-
I tery of his death unexplained.
' liarbara French taught the village
i i t i -"i
scnool, and was considered an unusu-
; aliy smart woman. She numbered
j among her suitors the principal saloon
koe,r of the place, and a dentist, who
j had recently ope nct n otiiw, eui
i lowtown. Uetween them her time out
of school and, rumor said, her afl'ec
i tions were divided. Some, again, re
t ported that Knowles had always had
the inside track, and that though liar
i bara didn't show much sorrow at the
murder, still her cheeks grew hollow
! and her voice thinner since the funer
I al ; and, indeed, she was not the same
girl at all. Nevertheless, the suitors
I continued their attentions, and the vil
lage its gossip; sometimes placing the
dentist first in the lady's affections, and
sometimes the saloon keeper, as either
was seen walking home with her or ac
companying her to the school. Dr.
lirown, the gossips said, was certainly
the I tetter match of the two; but Hill
Uronson had the best business and the
most money, and had his life insured
liesides. One evening the rivals met
at the post-office.
"How d'ye do, doctor:" said IJron
Bon, coolly, as they stood side by side,
waiting for their letters.
"Pretty well, thank you," replied
the other in the same prying tone ;
"w hen did you have the pleasure of see
ing Miss French?"
"Only last evening. She is very
busy in her school now, and has not
time to walk around."
With this they parted Bronson to
his saloon and the dentist to his accus
tomed haunt in the neighborhood of
the school house.
TIIE EVENING WALK.
"How are you, Miss Barbara?" said
Pr. Brown, raising his hat as the school
mistress, with her books under her arm,
left the simple frame building w herein
tlie youth of Shallow-town were taught
the rudiments of knowledge.
Miss French smilingly reciprocated
the salutation, and together they stroll
ed down the village street and past
Bronson's saloon, to the infinite cha
grin of that individual.
The cemetery was situated a mile or
so from the tow n, and a pleisant, shady
road led toward the iiiicLcity. The

dentist fuund all his eifurts to entertain
hi.s companion fell very flat this even
ing, lie inur-tereil all" his town intel
ligence, together with the last sensa
tions from the San Francisco papers,
hut Miss French appeared to take no
interest in the local news or the sensa
tions. At last he proposed they should
turn hack. The school-mistress assent
ed, and just at that moment a little
pupil of hers ran out from a wayside
house and asked her to come in and
take a cup of tea with his mother.
"Won't you walk in, doctor ?" asked
the lady, languidly. j
"No, thank you," replied the young
man; "I have an engagement in town. !
I'll wish you a good evening!" and he
walked away stiltly, not a little morti
fiedfc at his ill success in entertaining
the belle of Shallowtown. ;
The moon rose clear and pale over
the cypress trees in the cemetery he
fore the school-mistress left the cottage
then, instead of walking towards the
village, she turned otf into a ly-path
that led to the graveyard.
Jt was a strange fancy of the young
woman's to ramble on this autumn I
evening in a locality associated only
w itii gloomy memories. As she opened
the gate she pause I for several minutes :
and looked earnestly along the road, j
A mile down its level length twinkled
the lights of the village. Then, with
all solemnly still in the peaceful moon-
light, she opciiotl the gate and walked
quickly up the main path running thro'
tlie centre of the enclosure. At the
extreme end of this path was a fresh
grave, with no ornament or sirn be-
yond a plain wooden slab with the in-
script 1 on :
Walter Kxowi.es.
Died September 30th,
Aged 27.
Here Miss French paused and laid
her hands tenderly on the earth over
the murdered msui. Then, sobbing
bittcrlv, she knelt down by the grave
and murmured: "Walter, W:lter, I
did it for the ttest. You wronged me
terribly, and now we are both avenged.
But you must be happier than the
woman you deceived."
Putting a handful of cold earth in
the bosom of her dress, she arose, and,
leaving the cemetery, walked rapidly
homewards.
A STRANGE ARRIVAL.
"Darned if I ain't puzzled to know
who that stranger fellow can be," said
Bronson, a few evenings after the
school-mistress's walk, to a group of
his cu'tomcis who were smoking, in
the luxury of tipped chairs, on his
porch.
"I've heard he's a 'Frisco specula
tor," said a tall, raw-boned fellow who
had driven in from his ranch to dis
pose of a few tons of hay to the Shal
lowtown livery stable.
"That's a nice looking woman with
him, remarked another; "they sa- she's
his sister."
The last arrivals in the village a
tall, grave-looking, well-dressed man,
and a lady attired in deep mourning
had puzzled the good people of that
burg. The strangers remained in their
rooms the whole of the first day, and
had asked no questions altout the char
acter or industries of the town. The
man who kept the real estate office was
in hopes they might purchase town lots
and settle mow . Ticu..a.t.K.. 4.i.,-o
they wanted to be buried in Shallow
town, for they had made most particu
lar inquiries of the hotel waiter about
the location of the cemetery.
That evening the objects of so much
curiosity walked through the main
street and took the road to the ceme
tery. The next morning the gentleman
called on the coroner and made inqui
ries about the death of Walter Knowles
where and in what position the body
was found, and if a suspicion had fall
en upon any one in the village.
"He belonged to a very respectable
family in the Fast," he explained, "and
I have been sent here to ascertain the
exact circumstances of his death, and
communicate with them. A female
friend of the deceased accompanies
me." And of course the coroner en
lightened the villagers, and Shallow
town was most anxious to pay every
tribute of respect to the memory of the
deceased telegraph operator, and all
who had known Knowles which, in
deed, were all in town called on the
strange gentleman. Barbara French
alone, when it was suggested to her by
a friend that she too should visit them,
refused decidedly, and indeed, since
their arrival, had not leeii seen beyond
the school house and the cottage, a few
hundred yards down the road from it,
where she resided. A few said that
Miss French had some of Knowles'
letters which she did not wish to give
up. Indeed, the man who had been
forgotten a few weeks after his violent
death, was now the grand topic of con
A ersation in every saloon and house in
Shallowtown.
The trustees of the Shallowtown
school house were about to hold a pub

of Miss French's scholars. The school
mistress had leen grow ing paler and

approached. Bronson had ofl'ered sev

room looking moodily- over an atlas,
and while Dr. Brow n, "hammer in hand, i
was nailing and arranging, the my si '
tenons stranger entered the school 1
room. ,
Miss French left her seat and ad-1
van cert towards him. The stranger
drew a paper from Lis pocket, and ex-!
tending his hand, said solemnly, "lar- !
rest you, Babara French, for the mur- j
der of Walter Knowles." j
The school-mistress stood motion- '
less, while a deathly pallor crept over j
her features; the little 1 toys and girls, j
who didn t understand the scene, look
ed wonderingly on, and the hammer
fell from the dentist's hand, as he turn- j
ed round on his ladder, actually frozen I
with amazement. Miss French, after j
a moment's wild stare, around, fell to i
the ground with a shrill scream, and j
the stranger and the Doctor lilted, her I
from the floor.
"Who, in (Jod's name, are you?"
asked the astonished dentist, "and
what is this you have said about the
murder of Walter Knowles?"
"I am a detective," rejoined the
other, "ami I hold positive proof that
this young woman murdered the hus
band of the lady who is now at the
hotel in your town. I have worked
this matter up, and we have discover
ed the criminal in this unfortunate
woman."
There had never been such a sensa
tion in Shallowtown. At the trial,
which took place six weeks after the
arrest of the school-mistress, the en
tire mystery was explained. Walter
Know les was connected with a wealthy
and respectable family in New York,
and hat! married one of thebeauties of
the metropolis. A disrcputuble trans
action, in which he had i ictimized one
of his best friends, was made public in
the circle in which he moved, and he
was compelled to leave the country.
In Shallowtown he turned one of his
acquirements to account, and obtained
a position in a telegraph office. He
had remained true to his wife until
the pretty face and strong character
ot the school-mistress led him to fall
desperately in love with her. A se
cret marriage in San Francisco follow
ed ; and for one month the pair met
secretly, keeping, by mutual agree
ment, their union concealed from the
world. One evening the school-mistress
visited her husband's apartments,
and, whilst arranging with loving care
the articles in his bureau, a large pack
age of hitters attracted her attention.
She opened them, and the whole his
tory of Knowles' tin worthiness and
her own betrayal was revealed. Mad
dened with rage, and putting a life
preserver that lay on the table in the
folds of her dress, she w ent out in the
evening to seek for the man who had
married her even while corresponding
with another and a lawful wife, and
whom she at that moment hated with
intense bitterness. They met at the
place where the? bony w as afterwards
found. She reproached him He jibed
her, ami was turning away with a
curse, when the latal blow fell, and
Knowled dropped dead bv the way-
His real wife, who, notwithstanding
all his unfaithfulness, had given him
her only love, employed a clever detect
ive to ferret out all the circumstances
of her husband's murder, and, accom
panied by him, took up her residence
in Shallowtown.
Barbara French was found guilty
of murder in the first degree, and sen
tenced to death. While a motion for
a new trial was pending, she died in
prison, and, excepting perhaps by the
two men who hoped to win her when
she seemed pure and good, her name
is forgotten in Shallowtown. The
bones of the murdered man were car
ried to the family vault in New York,

The sunny side of one's life only is
exposed to the lover. During court
ship, pleasant smiles, honeyed words,
soft and sweet intonations of voice,
amazing amiability, seem to rise tot!. e
surface of oi e'sdispositionthe moment
one conies tnto the presence of the ob
ject of one's r.U'ection.
For tiie lover, the most becoming
dress is donned, the spotless collar is
adjusted with nicest care, the ribbons
are selected w ith an eve to the utmost
becotningness, the hair com lied in a
style that wiil liest enchance tho beau
ty of the wearer. The mirror is con
sulted again and again, to make sure
that nothing is left otf that might add
to the charms of the gazer. A curl is
placed here, a rosebud or dainty lil -bon
is tucked carelessly into the shining
braisls; even the eyebrows are scan
ned to see that each particular hair is
smoothed in the right direction . the
eyelashesarc oiled or waxed into place,
and I have known fastidious persons
to carry the thing so far as to tinge
the lips and cheeks with leet juice,
(not carmine, of course), and just rub
a mere sprinkling of rice powder, (not
paint), over the face to wt II to re
move the superfluous oiliness of the
complexion, so that they might pre
sent a cleanly appearance of face that
soap and water could not produce.
Rememlier, these prodigious efforts t
enhance their beauty, were put forth
before the matrimonial knot had lecn
tied.
All tlie choicest and most pleasing
expressions are reserved for "courting
night," that the lover may think that
he is about to secure a silver lute
voiced lady-love, who will while awav
his years of wedded life with the
sweetest of all music that of the hu
man voice. His ideas are her ideas:
his likes and dislikes are studied with
scrupulous care, and however foreign
to her nature, are acquiesced in with
a flattering heartiness, that vails from
the lover's eyes all dissimulation.
If mother happens to ask a little
assistance or makes inquiries regard

receive a reply in her daughter's bland

If he admires industry and prudence,
she takes good care to exhibit the re

And he, too. j -lays a part that sel loin
extends beyond courtship. Herta-stes
are consulted, her advice asked, her
little whims gratified, with a grace
and cheerfulness that is irresistibly
fascinating ; tokens of love and esteem,
in form of beautiful presents, are show

AFTER MARRIAGE.
Lo, the change! Sour looks on
slight occasions ; cross words that cut
to the heart: loud and harsh intona
tions of voice, predominate whenever
they are alone. The wedded pair note
the astounding change with alarm, and
each thinks tlie other to blame. The
dress is neglected, the collar, if there
be one at all, is soiled and rumpled ;
no becoming riblton adorns the neck ;
the hair is uncombed or twisted up in
frightful unltccomingness, no curl or
ribixm is there to keep the husband's
love from flying to some more attract
ive face, around the corner or across
the way. The minoris now only con
sulted when preparing to receive or to
go into company. The eyebrows,
eyelashes, lips, cheeks and eomplexhm
are never thought of except for com
pany ; and yet these little necessary
adjuncts to K-auty and attractiveness
were the lodestones that drew from
the lover's lips the martimonial offer,
and to know how to retain a husband's
love is a far higher art than to know
how to secure the lover's. Pleasant
smiles, endearing epithets, are not now
every-dav occurrences ; they are kept
for outsiders. Husband's ideas are not
wife's ideas, unless they hap-x ii to be ;
his likes and dislikes arc- treated with
almost studied indinVn nee. The care
ful kindness to mother during court
ship, is stripped of its glamour and
the naked truth stands out in bold re- I
lief, and several links of the husband's j
love detach themselves from the chain '
and are lain away in his heart for
some one whom he thinks to be all
that his first love had appeared to be.
