THE SHORTEST WAY HOME.
"The shortest way by half a mile
I come so Tery ofteu by it
Is up the road, across the stile,
And through th meadow. Shall vre try
it?"
The days were not without a charm
When, talking soft and looking silly.
My love and I walked artn-in-arin,
Ami lanes were loue and fields were stilly.
"We fonnd so many things to say
That always, in the shiny weather,
We took the well, the thorter way,
To be a longer time together.
We spoke about (hut, goodness knows
Our topics of confabulation)
About the Weather, I suppose,
The crops, the harvest, and the nation.
At all events, although the talk
Wis neither wise nor witty,
We ended each successive walk
With "Home already what a jJity I"
We might have lost a little ground
Through coming by the road selected.
But both agreed that we had found
The journey shorter thau expected.
Can Life's experiment support
The paradox that Love proposes?
Does any path seem very short,
Unless it be a path of robes ?
We seldom find the nearer vy:
And it" wa hit upou aud take it,
By creeping on from day to day
It seems as long as length cau make it.
The roai', to fame is never brief,
The way to wealth is dull and dreary;
All earthly routes, in my belief,
Are very long and very weary.
Nay one that leads through care aud strife
Is short, when mortals once begiu it ;
We take the "near cut" out of life,
Although we take the longest til it.
Tinsley's Magazine.
liUEIEl) A LI I E.
" Ashes to ashes, dust to dust," repented
the solemn voice of the minister.
The services concluded, each friend in
turn pressed forward to take one last fond
look at the lieautiful occupant of the little
rosewood casket, "which seemed a bed of the
loveliest flowers."
Beautiful in death as in life, for no linger
ing disease or sickness had wasted the flesh
or dimmed the glorious, almost seraphic
beauty of the little waxen image, so soon to
be hidden from their siijht in the cold bosom
of the motherly earth.
Belle Elierle, seven years of age, only and
idolized child of Isabel and Earle Eberle,
rich and influential citizens of Boston, had
died suddenly, by heart disease, the doctors
all ngTeed.
A sweet gentle smile illumined the child
ish face, her loDg golden curls swept over
and completely covered the white satin
piiiow, falling in spiral glittering masses to
her waist, her dress of delicate blue silk was
almost hidden by (lowers ; round her fair
white throat glittered a rather heavy gold
chain to which was attached a locket, stud
ded with small diamonds, and on one tiny
finger flashed another of the precious gems,
which her fond and distracted mother in
sisted she should wear, though many friends
expostulated, saying what a temptation it
would he to many, and how daugerous it
seemed to them ; aud all they said availed
nothing, the mother had her way.
All had taken their last look and wept
their last good-bye ; all except the bereaved
parents. Their frienthj and neighbors in
kind consideration had stepped aside, and
Earle Eberle led forward his trembling,
heart-broken wife to gaze once more on her
child, her only one ; but she broke wildly
from his encirling arm, and raising her
burning eyes and clenched hands towards
heaven, shrieked:
' Can God be so cruel? Oh, my balie,
my blesncd child, I cannot spare you ! " fell
senseless to the earth beside the coflin of her
child, without" a last kiss or a last good-bye.
They raised her pityingly. The casket lid
was closed. Ah ! why could not that kiss
have been given? How much misery had
been spared. Then the casket had never
been closed. It was lowered ; the earth and
stones legan to rattle down upon it, and all
was over.
The broken-hearted man lore his still
senseless wife hack to the carriage where she
began slowly to revive.
lie strove to lay asids his own great grief
to comfort hers. Arrived at home to his
now desolate home where no little pattering
feet would run to meet them, no fair white
arms would enfold them, no red lips le
raised for the ever-welcoming kiss, no little
silvery voice again be heard. Grief and dis
traction conquered, and for two long weeks
life and death strove for the mastery. Life
won the day, and the fair young mother
awoke to the full realization of her sad loss,
a mere shadow of her fflrmer self.
A thankless boon to her was life ; rather
had she chosen death and reunion with her
beloved child, than life and separation ; for
grief makes us selfish at times. No thought
of the fond and faithful heart which had
suffered and wept with her, had she, until a
month had passed. Then she did indeed
notice the pale cheek, the lingering step;
then she awoke from her lethargy.
Her awakened fears did more to dispel her
useless grief than years could have accom
plished. She asked him if he were sick ;
she knew he was heartsick and weary
mentally sick, if not bodily.
In her fear she consulted their physician.
He ordered change of air bade them travel.
So, after a few day's preparation, thoy start
ed for Europe, where they stayed for a year,
reaching home in Deceinlier restored in
hea'th, but with an aching void in their
hearts which nothing earthly could fill.
It is a delightful morning in winter.
Mrs. Elerle reclines in an easy chair gazing
upon a miniature of her lost darling; the
doo -'ll rings, she rises with a.mmmful
smile as a fresh and blooming lady enters,
bringing with her waft of the keen frosty
air, into the summer warmth of tb njnut
mctt. Ty cid:aie-l gid-tit -j- wcnnly.
Oil, Isabel dear, I want you to do me a
favor. Put on your hat and cloak and come
with me; my cutter is at the door. I will
tell you my story as we go along."
Isabel was soon equipped and they were
dashing along at a delightful rate.
. " You know, my dear Isabel, I have
always wanted to adopt a child, as God has
seen fit to deny me any of my own ; but Ed
has always leen averse to it until to-day.
To-morrow you know is Christmas day, and
Ed asked me what I would like best told
me to choose anything I wanted and I might
have it. "So I, of course, asked him to let
me go to the orphan asylum and take a little
one to adopt, and do you believe he agreed
right off ; and oh ! I am so happy. But
what is the matter? Oh, dear, I forgot;
how selfish I am, dear, don't cry please, any
more "
"Oh, Ada! what a Christmas for me!
God help me ! my little dead -darling ; how I
long for one look at yonr dear blessed eyes ;
how my arms ache to fold you once more to
this aching heart."
" Dear friend, forgive me for so carelessly
harrowing j our feelings. I am so sorry ;
but here we are. John, ring the bell."
The driver obeyed. The door opened,
they were ushered into the reception room,
the matron called and their wishes made
known.
Politely requesting them to follow her,
?he led the way to the school-room. Hows
of little heads all sizes, all ages, all colors.
Ada, interested in her mission, does not no
tice Isabel until a piercing shriek ring
through the room 44 Merciful God! My
child, my Belle, my lost darling! " and sees
Isuliel, with frantic love, straining a yellow
hiiired child wildly in her arms, and cover
ing it with passionate kisses.
The at first astonished child after gazing
wonderingly at her for a minute, at last
seemed to wake to realize who it was who
held her, and with a gasping cry of "mother"
t'irew her arms around the lonely woman's
neck, p.nd buried her head in l er bosom, her
little heart beating to bursting.
" Oh, dear Father, how I do thank the" !
Am I mad or dreaming? Can I believe :ny
eyes ? Do I deserve such supreme happiness ?
My darling, my darling. Oh, madame,
where did you get her how did she come
here?
"She was brought here one dark night,
marm, and left on the steps. She had a
note, very" poorly written, saying she might
be called for at any time, and begging us to
keep her although she was not an orphan.
That is the reason we spared those long curls,
which are a great bother, begging your par
don, mar in. The little thing did nothing
but cry for her mother at first, but later she
grew quiet, as though she was sleepy. She
bus been a good, quiet child, and we have
all loved her we shall miss her. But I atu
glad you are come. I was afraid she was
going to lie bad in the head like."
"My poor baby, mother has come and
you are safe. Get me her bonnet and cloak
here, take my purse, it will partly repay
you for your kindness. Come my angel, let
me take you home, and lighten the bitter
load from your poor father's heart. I am
almost too happy. We will inquire into
your miraculous escape later."
Arrived at home all was commotion. The
servants half scared, wholly delighted. Ada
had for the time forgotten her own mission.
The father had not yet returned from busi
ness. Isaljel lovingly and tenderly, with many a
passionately loving caress, bathed the lovely
form, combed and brushed the rich, golden
hair, and then robed her darling in some of
the treasured clothes, which had often been
moistened by her bitter tears.
When all had been done that a mother's
love could prompt for the comfort of her re
turned treasure, she took her in her arms,
and for an hour of supreme joy, she held her
on her lap and listened to all the child could
tell of her recovery, wl.ich was little enough.
" When 1 awoke, mamma, I found myself
in a very poor room, with two men and a
woman. I had on a horrid dress and an old
shawl and bonnet. Soon the man took me
in a cart and left me on some steps, and told
me to stay there till they took me in ; they
gave me a letter and drove away ! Oh ! I
was so frightened out there all alone, but at
last some one came and took me in and were
very kind. But oh, I wanted you so, don't
let me go away again, mamma, will you?"
she cried clasping her arms round her
mother's neck.
" No, no, my darling, my treasure, God
forbid. Hark ! there's papa ; go behind
those curtains and do not stir until I call
you."
44 Oh, Earle, darling!" she cried, rushing
up to him and throwing herself upon his
bosom. 44 1 have got such a glorious Christ
mas present for you," her eyes blazing with
wild excitement.
"Isabel are you wild? is this you?" he
sadly aked, " have you forgotten your
self?" " No darling, but I am almost wild. I
have got something to tell you, somothing
for you, but I do know how to break our
great happiness to you. Earle, darling, can
you ear a grent joy as well as you did our
great sorrow ?
" Don't torture me. Isaltel, you are my
onlv joy now and I do not want to think I
am going to loe you ; your eyes fairly
blaze."
" Oh I won't you understand inc, Earle?
Our child--our Belle is "
" Is what?"
"Alive!"
He looked at her in an agony of fear.
" (Treat God ! She is mad !"
44 No, lar, 1 am not mad. Bolle ' site
'cried-
The curtains parted ; tho radiant child
stepped out.
-
" Belle, my child, am I mud or dream
ing?" 44 Father, dear father!" she cried, and
threw herself into his arms ; lather and child
were clasped in a rapturous embrace. The
excited and overwrought man sank into a
chair, and burst into tears. He would hold
her from him and gaze nt her with his soul
in his eyes; then, clasp her in his arms and
rain passionate kisses utm her sweet face,
which he had never expovted to see again on
earth.
44 lsalcl, 7bel, where did you find her,
Ojr dnrht r?" 1 hardly dare to breathe, for
j fear I shall wake and find it a dream. Can
it lie true? it is, it is! Oh, tl mnk God !
thank God!" Isnliel told her story as co
herently a-s joy would let her.
44 1 must inquire aliout it. There has lier-n
tampering with the grave, luckily for us;
but I am curious to learn more aliout it ; 1
will see alout it to-morrow."
The grave was opened ; the racket, of
course found empty, with the exception of
some faded flowers. All inquiries proved
useless. No one knew anything about it;
so the subject dropped. Content were they
in the happiness of their recovered treasure.
But at last, one day, a year from that time,
a woman, poorly but neatly clad, called at
Mrs. Eberle's house and inquired in gTeat
agitation for the master.
44 Well, what is it, my good woman?"
44 Please, sir, and would you come and sec
Mike, my husband, sir?" he is very bad
and wants to see you, sir, if you'll be su
kind."
44 Who is lie, my poor soul, and what does
he know of me?"
44 It's Mike Pugtvn,sir; I darn't tell any
more. I promised I wouldn't ; but he was
grave-digger at Mount Hope at the time you
lost your little girl, sir."
44 Oh, indeed!" he cried, a light suddenly
illuminating his mind ; 14 1 will come."
A poor, low shanty; a hard, meagre, but
clean lied ; upon it what? a man or a
skeleton? a man in the last stages of con
sumption; seated beside the led is Mr.
Eberle. The man has lieen talking a little.
He is very tired but strives to raise himself
as he answers a question asked by his vis
itor. 44 Yes, sir, just gone of consumption I
can't talk much I'll tell my story; then,
perhaps I can rest better. The dimons
tempted us, my pal and me, an so w hen the
fine folks were gone, we jnst dug it up again;
we bust the lid, and as I grablied the locket
and he the ring we both most dropped ; for,
sir, the little kid was warm like and soon
begRn to breathe. We could not bury a live
child and we durst not return her to you just
then, so I wrapped her in my overcoat, took
her in my arms and carried her home. My
Peggy often comes and goes with me, and I
often carry her in just the same way, so no
questions were asked. My pal fixed every
thing safe after us. Yes, I took her horns ;
my wife took off her fine clothes and dressed
her in some of Peggy's which just Ct her,
and when the poor little g;.l woke up, my
pal and me took her to urphan asylum
where you will find her, safe and sound 1
hone. We were kind to the little one, so
may the good Lord forgive us for our sin.
There's her clothes and the things that
tempted us ; we were very poor, b it we
could not find heart to sell them after all ;
we could not return the gal to yon sooner,
sir, because you went away, and I have ljcen
so sick since you got Iwct ; I've been wait
ing to get better but I shall never now.
Peggy, give the gent the bundle ; and now,
sir, I think I'll slep awhile. Good-bye,
and thank you for coming."
44 Good-bye, and God bless you for saving
my child. I have got her already. May
j God forgive you your intended crime, as
freely as I do."
Chinese Theatricals.
In San Francisco, the Chinese theatre has
lost none of its prestige since its opening,
but is more popular among the Celestials
than ever. The management of the theatre
has always leen characterized by discretion
in the selection and production of plays, and
due regard for the tastes of the people, thus
encouraging the patrons of the drama to be
come regular in attendrnee, and whetting
the appetite of the younger heathen. The
properties of the theatre have attained a
great value, the stock company has become
one of the best of its kind in the world, and
the orchestra has reached that stage of per
fection which harmonizes agreeably with the
motto of the theatre, signifying that im
provement is impossible, and depreciation
improbable. The business manager of the
theatre has just displayed rare tact and en
terprise by bringing out from China a star
of the first magnitude, who assumes female
characters with startling fidelity, and has
withal line social qualities. This engage
ment is one of the greatest successes the
theatre has ever known. During three
nights the performances netted in the aggre
gate two thousand dollars. The play smacks
rtrongly of sensation, but is free from the
taint of indecency. The musical selection-?
emblace gems culled from the Cl,i:iese na
tional airs. The drama ab iiirtds in domestic
scenes among the Chinese, which are ren
dered more striking by the musical accom
paniments, and posses.-.-, many novel and
ingenious features.

Tln my-tci'ioiis power i- exercised some

Miiallci birds are among the wt freqe.ent
victims of the xerpent. the larger ones i-e
among the most active, intelligent and dan
gerous eneniic. The crow, wiii-h is a
plucky bird under certain circumstance,
will have very little hesitation in attacking a
good-sized snake, come off the ict.r. Tiie
fight !etween a crow and a viper is thus de
scribed by an eye-witness :
The erowj had their place of assembly in
the tree under which was standing, aud
were preparing for their evening s flight.
They flew off in pairs for a little" distance,
when they separated, as if by agreement,
one body flying eastward and the other west
ward ; then they again separated and went
in all directions One of the birds came
lack to the starting place and another alight
ed a few feet from tiie tree on a large stone.
In a moment uficr she left the stone ani
flew to a blackberry bush, and began to jun p
up and down, anil to strike at the ground
almost like a bird of prey din ting on its vic
tim. Just then a viper crawled out of its
lurking place, and coiling itself up, hissed
defiance at the bird.
The twitching of the snake's buly was an
evidence of its rage at being di-turbjj, and
it bit several times in the air m ist savagely.
The crow did not waste much time in com
mencing an active attack, but, darting upon
the reptile, she actually caught it by tiie
head. Whether, in doing this, the bird re
ceived a Lite from the poisonous fangs, I
could not settle theu or afterwards. The
crow continued its savage picks, and finally,
as the snake lay motionless, she seemed to
think that it was dead. She was about to
carry off her prey, when the snake suddenly
raised its head, aud the conflict commenced

With astonishing swiftness, the viper
gave a leap, ami flung the crow a distance
of three yards into some boshes. The bird
was prevented from using her wings to ad
vantage, and in this embarrassed condition
was attacked by the viper. In a few mo
ment, however, the bird succeeded in free
ing herself, and, as the viper was by this
time too much exhausted to maintain tl e
fight the sharp bill of its antagonist speedily
decided its fate. With a few savage picks,
to assure herself that it was deal, the bird
flapped her wings, and flew off to join her
companion?.
Singular Atmospheric Phenomenon.
A singular phenomenon was witnessed
lately in the neighborhood of Derry, Ireland.
A gentleman was returning from Corn
donagh with his family, and the party had
just dismounted off the car to walk the bill
near Quigley's Point, when their attention
was attracted by a wonderful anpearanee in
the heavens. Away to the north they saw
several ships in the air, sailing across the
face of the sky from east to west. The line
of the vessels seemed to bs fully five mites in
length, aud they appeared to 1 sailing d-ovu
a river, whos high banks could 13 made out
behind the ships. Some of the vessels ap
peared to be moored close to a fortress buiit
on a rock. To all the party was the phe
nomenon distinctly visible. So clear was
the air, and close did the ships appear to
their eyes, that the sailors palling at the
ropes were made out with ease, even by the
children who saw the strange spectacle.
The phenomenon wxs nearly half an hour
before it disappeared. Although the appear
ance of such things in the heavens may be
very startling, the phenomeni are not un
known alwiut the Irish eoa.-t. The "mirage,"
ns it is termed, often displays itself in fan
tastic shapes on the shores of the northern
counties. It most frequeutly is to lie seen
on the coast of Antrim, especially in t?ie
vicinity of the Causeway. About twelve
3-ears ago a very curious instance of mirage
was seen in Lough Foyl-J. S"tne fishermen
had been out at night with their nets. The
face of the heavens was overcast and black,
when the clouds suddenly parted, leaving a
bright gap of clear sky iu the zenith. Across
this space the astonished fi-hennen saw some
thousands of soldiers pas-;, rank a'fer rank
and regiment after regiment, and so near
did the phen .menon npp.itr that the dres
of the officer- could lie ca-i'y distingul-he i
from that -f the men. It was two hours
before the marching ceased, or rather liefore
the clouds closed in and shut out the scene
from view.
