This life is not all sunshine,
Xor is it yet all showers,
But storms and calms alternate,
As thorns amoi.tr the flowers,
And while we seek the roses,
The thorns full oft we scan,
Still let us, though they wound us,
Be happy as we can.
This life hits heavy erosses
As well as joys 'to share.
And priefs and disappointments
Which you and I must hear.
Yet, If Misfortune's lava
Entomhs Hope's dearest plan,
Let us, with wliat is left us,
Be happy as we can.
The sun of our enjoyment
Is made of little things,
Aiid oft the broadest rivers
Are formed from smallest springs,
By treasuring small waters
"The rivers reach their span ;
So we increase our pleasures
Enjoying what we can.
There may lie burning deserts
Through which our feet must go,
But there fire pleasant oases
Where pleasant palm-trees grow.
Attd if we may not follow
The path our hearts would plan,
let us make all around us
As happy as we can.
Perchance wc may not climb with
Ambition to its gonl,
Still let us answer "Present,"
When duty calls the roll I
And whatever our appointment,
lie nothing less than Man,
And cheerful in submission,
I5e happy as we can.

Ammij the J.teobites wlio joineil in
the first Stuart rising, in 1715, was the
Kurlof Xithisilale, ami th,' amlilen fail
ure of the revolt consigned him to the
Tower. Every effort to avert the doom
of death had failed ; hut in his countess
he had a friend whom no defeat could
dishearten.
With that self-reliance so jieculiar to
her, .she resolved on a step which seem
ed as i'a-;h and imprudent at first si?;ht
as it afterward proved the contrary.
Having observed pretty closely the
character of Mrs. Mills, of wh.iu she
had hired lodgings in Drury Iane, Lon
don, she sent for her to her apartment,
and informed her that, all hope of par
don now being lost , she had determined
on a scheme to effect Lord N Hinsdale's
escape.
"This." she said, "is the last night
before his execution;"' and then pas
sionately appealed to her feelings to as
sist her mi the attempt he meditated,
by accompanying her at once to the
Tower, in order that Lord Nithisdale
might escape in one of her dresses, for
which scheme she had arranged every
detail.
A coach was called, and they, with a
Mrs. Morgan, started for the Tower.
Itdy Nithisdale talking all the way, for
fear they should have time for reflect ion,
ami change their minds. As they drove
along, she explained the details of her
scheme namely, that Mrs. Morgan w as
to wear over her own clothes a dress of
Mrs. Mills (who was a large woman),
for Lord Nithisdale to put on, with oth
er disguise, and so pass the wardens.
"On our arrival,"" says Lady Nit his- .
dale, "I first brought in MrsMorgan, j
calling her a friend of my lord's, come
to take leave of him. "When Mrs. Mor
gan had taken off the dress of Mrs.
Mills, which she had biouglit for my
purpose, 1 conducted her back to the
staircase, and, in going, I begged her to
send my maid to dress me, as 1 was
afraid of being too late to presei.t my ;
last petition that night, if she did not j
come immediately. 1 went partly down
stairs to meet Mis. Mills, who had her
handkerchief to her face, as was natural
fwr a person going to take the last leave
of a friend before his execution, and 1 :
had desired her to do this that my lord ,
might go out in the same manner.
"I had got an artificial head-dress of
the same colored hair as her"s. and
rouged his face and cheeks, to conceal
his beard, which he had not time to;
shave. All this provision 1 had lefore
left in the Tower. The guards, whom
my liberality the day lie fore had endear-;
ed rue to. lei me go quietly out with my 1
company, and were not so strictly on
the watch as usual, as they were
suaded from what I had told them the
day le fore, that the prisoners would ob
tain their pardon. I made Mrs. Mills
take off her hood and put on that which ;
I had brought for her. I then took her
by the hand and leu her out by my lord's
chamber; and in passing through the
next room, in which were scleral peo
ple, with all the concern imaginable, I
said: "My dear Mrs. Catharine, go ii;
all haste arid send me u;y waiting-maid ;
she certainly cannot reflect how late it
is. I am to present my petition to- ;
night, and if I let slip the opjiortuiiity,
I am undone, for to-morrow is too late.
; Hasten her as much as iossible. for I
shall le on thorns till she comes."
"When I had seen her safe out, 1 re-'
turned to my lord ami finished him. 1
' had taken cart: tliat Irs. Mills did not ;
go out crying, as she came in, that my
lord might better pass for the lady who
1 came in crying and aillicted ; and the
; more so, as he had on the same dress j
: that she wore. When I had almost fin
ished dressing my lord. I jierceived it
was growing dark, and was afraid that i
the light of the candles might lv?tray us.
so I resolved to jret off. I rent out
' leading him by the hand, while he held
his handkerchief to his eyes. 1 spoke
i to him in the most piteous and aillicted
tone, bewailing bitterly the negligence
of my maid Evans, who had ruined me
by her delay. Then I said : 'My dear
Mrs. Hetty, f0v the love of ; oil, rim
i quickly and bring her w ith you you
know my lodging ; and it you ever made
dispatch in your life do it at present. 1
am almost "distracted with this disaii
IKiintment." "The guards o,icned the door, and 1
! went down stairs with him, still con
juring him to make all (Hssiuie uis
patch. As soon as lie had cleared the
door, I made him walk before me, fot
i fear the sentinel should take notice ot
i his walk, but 1 continued to press him
; to make all the dispatch he possibly
! could. At the bottom of the stairs I
met my dear Evans, into whose hands 1
' coniided him.
' "They went home together, and hav
i ing found a place of security, brought
Iord Nithisdale to it. In the meaii
j time, as I had pretended to have sent
j the young lady on a message, 1 was
J obliged to return up stairs and go back
j to my lord's room in the same feigned
anxiety of tiring too late, so that every -
; ImkIv seemed sincerely to sympathize in
i my distress. When I was in the room I
I talked as if lie had been really present.
I answered my own questions iu my
I lord's voice ns nearly as I could imitate
i it. and walked un and down. ;:- it we
were conversing together, till I thought
they had time thoroughly to clear them
selves of the guards. 1 then thought
proper to make off also. I bade my lord
formal farewell for the night and added
that, if the Tower was then open, I
would return that night, but that he
might be assured I would tte with him
as early in the morning as I could gain
admittance, and I flattered myself I
should bring more favorable news.
"I then vent, out ; and ns T onssed
told the servant that lie need not earrv founded young Launng, conceiving it to
the candles to his master until my lord ! 1k a dut-v ne OWP1 to country, bade
sent for them, as he desired to finish i ,"s affianced good-bye and became a sol
some prayers lirst." i dier. They were devoted to each other.
The Karl was led to a garret in an
obscure part of London, and after a
time sheltered at the Venetian Ambas
sador's, till an opportunity offered to
reach Dover in that envoy's carriage.
The Countess, after boldly proceeding
to Scotland to secure some valuable pa
lters, returned to London, defying all
efforts to arrest her, and at last joined
her husband at Home, where both died
some vears after.

A few days ago a female, about six- !
teen years of age, got aboard of his
train going East, at a village a few miles !
north of Cincinnati. He approached )
her to collect fare. j
"How-far are you going?" he asked.
"To New York," was the reply.
"I take you only as far as Columbus.
The fare is three dollars to that point. "' ,
The girl opened her pocketlxiok and ,
took out two bank notes a three and a
one. The conductor observed that it
was all the money,in the pocket-book ami ;
as she reached him the three, he asked
"Is that all the money you have.
"Yes fir,"" was the reply.
"Ilnv do you exjiect to go to New
York then':"' J;C nsked.
"1 will travel until they put me off.
Then I will go to work aiideai7i money
to carry me further."'
"Indeed," remarked the conductor,
now deeply interested inthe girl. And
mav I ask what is taktng von to New
York?'"
"It is my home, sir. A year ago I
was persuaded to come West, lin as
sured that working girls were tietter paid
here than there. I came out to L
and was engaged in the family of Mr. '
11 . I lived wit lit hem a few months,
when they went out West. I then en
gaged with a farmer, but was taken
down with chills and fever, from which
I have not recovered. I have worked
hard for one year, and these four dollars t
constitute ail my savings. I am sick
and am going home. Probably I can
get work as I go along my way."
This story wits to'.d so candidly that
the conductor, who had watched the
narrator closelv, could not doubt its ;
truth.
"If this is the case, 1 cannot take ;
your money," he said. j
"Indeed, sir, it is true."
"Then .take your money back." was
his answer, and ke passed along.
Through with his collection, he rela-'
ted the circumstances to a couple cf
gentlemen passengers, and promised to '
heaTl a subscriptionlist if they would cro ;
through the train and take up a collec- '
ion for the girl. The gentlemen readily ;
agreed to this, and in a few minutes '
had the pleasure of handing the giii
some seventeen dollars, enough to pa ;
her way to New York. She knew noth- '
ing of the movement until she received
the money, when her grateful feelings
gave vent to copious tears. No one
doubted her honest'. ;
I.ut W. was not Fntisfied. Before she .
left the train lie gave her a memorand
um setting forth the route si c should ,
take, and a card which he requested her
to use instead of tickets. On the card '
was written the following :
To My Ukothkh CoNnn TOKs: I have 1
passed this worthy voting lady on my train
to Columbus. A collection was taken tip ;
for tier, and seventeen dollars placed in her
hands liv the pas.-.engcrs. For Cod's sake,
don't take one cent.
Conductor W , Miami llailroad, '
thus, nodcubt. enabled her to reach home
safely and with money in her purse. ;

Just about the time that war was de-
clared with Mexico, a young man named
Henry Lauring and a young neighbor
ing lady, Miss Vena Waldron, became
engaged. When the trumpet of war
ana w,ien u,e young man leu n.e tauy
vowed that she would never marrv if
lie did not ret urn.
After the fall of the city of Mexico, a
man named Ralph Mitchell approached
Lauring and stated that he had left
Pike county subsequent to Laming's
departure, and that Miss "Waldron had
died a few days before his departure.
The young soldier was desjerate, and
when the troops "came marching home
with glad and gallant tread," he was
not with them. Having, in a moment,
been transformed from an ardent soldier
j to a reckless man, he left the army, and,
embarking, went to Cuba. From there
' he went to Spain, to England, to Aus
j tria, to Prussia, and to France. When
, the late Franco-Prussian war broke out
; he entered the French ranks, and at
' Metz was almost fatally wounded.

while attempting to cross the Danube,
he was shot through the lungs. For a
long time he languished in a hospital,
ami finally recovered.
After the Mexican war, and when
Ralph Mitchell returned to Dike county,
he called on Miss Waldron and sympa
thetically told her that her lover, Lau
ring, was dead ; that he st raved from
the camp one night and was killed by a
band of scouts. The gill fell speechless
to the floor. When she regained con
sciousness wlit n the rush of recollec
tion forced its way over indistinct mem
ory, a high fever sprang up, and for
months she tossed on a led. caring
nothing for her surroundings. - and
dreading recovery worse tlandiath.
After a long illness she recovered.
Mitchell, who was very attentive to her
in her sickness, called frequently in
health. One night while the mon was
s!;jning, while the pale moon shone on
the f.tr.- of a paler girl, Mitchell told
her of his devoiioif.
"We have know n eacn . other from
childhood," he said; "we have lived as
neighbors. Yon k.iow me, my father
ami mother. 1 love you w ith a ip! h

"Mr. Mitchell," the girl replied", "I

" "Hut he is dead."
"The engagement is not. li. will
consummated in heaven."
"Is there no apiwal from vour dec

"None."
"Then I will tantalize en the more.
Lauring is not dead. My love for you
caused me to deceive him. I told him
you were dead, and with a ell of des
pair he left the armv. 1 did this thro'
love."
Another long illness followed this.
When a strong constitution again came
to the rescue of a life. Mitchell had
married a neighloring girl.
Years went on. as years inevitably
do. Tiie gill's father and mother sank !
beneath the clay. The girl lived with
her brother. The girl's brother's chil
dren grew up and married not the girl, ;
for she was advanced in ye-.rs. In a 1
small house they lived. There were
vines in the yard, and among them the
once beautiful woman sat and mused.
Summer and Winter came and went.
The pour, lonely woman had read every
book in the neighlmrhoud. The birds
sang, and the rabbit sprang from his
damp snow-sprinkled bed. Uut old
songs and old memories still swept the
harp strings of a heart once young and
still ardent.
One evening last week Miss Waldron
sat among the vines in the yard. Her
brother was gone to the mill. An old
man w ith long bear ! and v. i'.h tottering
walk stopjied at the gate and asked if
Mr. Waldron lived there. Miss Wal
dron invited him iu. He approached,
and when he had reached the vine-covered
porch, sank down on a chair, the
one Miss Waldron liad vacated, and
buried his fa'-e in his wrinkled hands.
"Old gentleman,"" Miss Waldron said,
"can I do anything for you ? You look
so weary."
"That voice !' the man exclaimed.
"Vena, don't vou know me V Ilenrv

A shriek and the old man stopiH?d and
'lifted the form of an old woman from
the floor.
When the brother had returned, and
; when the moon had risen, a couple of
; old lovers walked out into the lieautiful
polished peace of night. The party
