(iOD PITT THE POOR t
The wild rushing wings of the tempest are
sweeping
The frost-fettered land like a spirit of
wrath ;
Ilis fierce, icy breath with keen arrows pierc
ing The breasts of the wand'rers who stand in
his path ;
The earth in a trance lies enshrouded in si
lence, The storm king knocks loudly at window
and door ;
The prayer of the pitiful fervently rises
God shelter the homeless and pity the poor!
God pity the poor who are wearilv sitting
iiy ae3oiate hearth-stones, cold, chserless
and bare.
From which th6 last ember's pale flicker has
faded
Like Hope dying out in the midst of de
spair! Who look on the wide world and see it a des
ert, Where ripple no waters, no green branches
wave.
Who see in a future as dark as the present
No rest but the death-bed, no home but the
grave.
God pity the poor when the eddying snow
drifts Are whirled by the wrath of the winter
winds by,
Like showers of leaves from the pallid star
lilies
That float in the depths of the blue lake on
high ;
For though they are draping the broad earth
in beauty,
And veiling some flaw In each gossamer
fold,
That beautv is naught to the mother whose
children
Are crouching around her in hunger and
cold. j
God pity the poor, for the wealthy are often
As hard as the winter, and cold as its snow;
While fortune makes sunshine and summer
around them.
They care not for others nor think of their
woe :

i and wearily I turned from my books to my
uimiKMis, ana irom my tnotiglits to my
gloom.
It was jnst then, before I had ascended to
the realms of suicidal purpose for I walk
that way slowly that the door knob hesita

work again, pen in hand, with one hand on
the paper and the other on the door.

the suspense no longer, and looked squarely
up. The door had opened, and, though the
evening shadows were gathering thick and
fast, 1 could see that my visitor was in dress

' T Pretty. her thoughts probably were :
Here s a young man very young, he htsn't
much experience don't think he ever did
such work before. It would help him, but it
don't help me. I had better look "
But I interrupted my own forebodings by
springing to my feet with a "Good evening,
madarn. Step in ; I'm through with the
matter in hand a little pressed now, with
term time upon us, but have an honr to
spare such a dull day ! Sit down !" and
my first triumph was won, for she was seat
ed. Then I swept my books from me with an
air of relief, as if any problem she might ag
itate would be child's play compared to what
I had just passed through.
1 had not yet so mnch as caught the color
of her eyes, and couldn't but wonder why
she kept her veil down so closely unless she
was meditating a sudden flight to the office
of the bald-headed wretch across the way,
who had a few gray hairs and more experi
ence, you know but a bad attack of rheu
matism, too, thank heaven ! which I devout
ly trusted was keeping him home on such a
day as this.
"I want you to write a will," she suddenly
began, in a half halting voice.
"Certainly, madam," I answered, nobly
resolving to strengthen the faith within her,
and I pulled half a quire of legal cap toward
me, and thought of the solemn opening and
the weighty formalities of its publication.
"It's to be my husband's will," she added.
"Ile dare not come out on such a day as
this." And she shivered so prettily that I
was reconciled with the weather for the first
time that day.
"Hadn't I better come to your house ?" I
ventured to suggest.
"Oh, no ! not now," she answered, with a
little sigh. "It might excite him too mnch.
But he may be better tonight, and I will
seDd the carriage for you then. It will not
make any difference, will it, about the will
being binding?" And something told me
she was peering anxiously at me.
"Of course, madam, if he then fully and
voluntarily adopts it as his, it is just the
same as if I took it all down from his own
lips."
"Well, we want he wants to leave all
his real and personal property to me, with
full powers as executrix and I am to take
charge of his only child and make for her
such allowance as I shail think wise."
"What Is your daughter's name?"
"She is not my daughter," she answered,
w ith the slightest token of gathering anima
tion In her voice.
"Ah, yes : just so," said I, nervously
fumbling with the paper. "She's your step
daughter?" "Yes, sir."
"What's her name?"
'Mabel Cecil," she haltingly spoke.
"A deuced pretty name," I remarked to
myself. "I wonder what she wants to stum
ble so over pronouncing it ?" And then I
tried to forget all about it, as I took up my
pen and began; "I I " "Ah I par
don me, madame, but what's your husband's
name ?"
What fools men are when a little excited,
especially young laws'ers, sitting up with an
early case.
"KobertE. Cecil."
"I, Robert E. Cecil, of the county of Herk
imer, and State of , do make and
publish this my last will and testament :
"I give, bequeath and devise to my dearly
beloved wife "
"Ah ! pardon, madam, but what's you
name ?"
"Lucy L. Cecil."
"To my dearly beloved wife, Lucy L. Ce
cil, all my real and personal property of
whatsoever kind and nature, after the pay
ment of all my just debts ; and I hereby
commit to her guardianship my only child,
Mabel Cecil, for whom there shall b made
such allowance and maintenance as to my
beloved wife may seem fit.
"And I hereby appoint Lucy C. Cecil my
sole executrix of this my last will and testa
ment, hereby revoking all former wills by
me made,
"In witness whereof I have hereuuto set
my hand, this third day of November, A. D.
187."
"I suppose you nndtrstand," I undertook
to explain, "tnat this will vests all your hus
band's property in you, and to leave your
daughter's allowances at your discretion Is
to leave her at law nothing in her own right
The provision Is, in short, meaningless, ex
cept that it shows that the testator had her
in his mind when he made his will, and so far
makes It all the more binding."
"Exactly," she spoke with animation.
"It's his wish and I shall see that you are 1
well paid for your trouble and counsel the
carriage will be here very soon." And she
had gone as quickly as she had come.
That remark about payment had entered a
very threadbare coat, and had struck right
home.
'But it's too mean, all the same, pay or no
pa-," 1 growied, "to cut that girl off that
way without a cent. But it's the old story,
and I can't help it," and I sank back with a
philosophical smile on my face.
Then just in sport, in a fit of malignant
satisfaction I took up a second sheet of le
gal cap, and scribbled thereupon, with a for
mal opening and close that this said Robert
E. Cecil gave all his property to his dearly
beloved daughter, Mabel Cecil, and left the

silver-haired man.
"What ! who?" said he as he started from
a seeming stupor, and looked wonderiDgly at
me from his sunken eyes.
"ne will read it to you now, Mr. Cecil,"
adding in a low tone, "he is sinking rapidly";
i fear you must hasten."
I felt that I must. I seated myself at his
bedside, and as I did so I saw his lips trem
ble, and I believe they were breathing a
name. I imagined it was "Mabel."
Our boldest moves are born upon the spur
of the moment.
"Mrs. Cecil, may I trouble you for a glass
of water?" I asked, as I took out the will
she bad drawn.
"Quick, sir, quick !" said I, as I noticed
his sunken e3Tes watching her hastening
footstep. "Do you want your daughter to
have all your property save what the law
gives your wife?"
He started back from me as if he conld not
trust his own senses, or was doubting wheth
er to put confidence in me ; but ho seemed
to feel the necessity of doing so, and sudden
ly the dull eyes brightened with a momenta
ry gleam of relief and joy as he clearly an
swered :
"Yes, yes I And God bless you."
And I, too, was thanking heaven for the
whim that had led me to write two wills so
very like in strength and appearance, and it
was only the work of a moment to make the
exchange and just in time.
With Mrs. Cecil came the housekeeper and
a man servant, and In their presence the dy
ing man tremblingly signed his name to the
secoud will and they witnessed it. '

They had gone and I started to go, when
the old man pressed my hand and I saw the
tears gatherine In his eyes. As I turned to
eo I involuntarily felt that the black eyes of
Madame Cecil had witnessed all and sus
pected everything.
"I should like to see that wL'l !" she said
firmly, In a low voice.
"Some other time. He's dying, Mrs. Ce
cil." "So much the greater reason, sir I Show
it to me."
I looked at her one instant calmly and sug
gestively in the face and then started for the
door.
"Stop !" she cried, and a tiny mounted re
volver gleamed In her hand.
"My God ! Mrs. Cecil, you have killed
him ! He has died at youi hands I" I cried
as I heat d a strange sound behind me, and 1
would have turned if all the pistols in the
universe had been pointed at me.
The old man's arms had been lifted as in
prayer, but now sank withered upon the pil
low, whilst hi9 eyes ?tared at us in the rigid
idy of death. He had died.
Instinctively Madame Cecil seemed to re
cognize that it was all over, and lowering the
weapon, his led it s ..1 between her pearly lit
tle teeth :
"You've played me false go! go! or 1
will shoot you I"
And I went, gladly enough, from the
stone front, with its treaeheryt its wicked
ness and avearice, into the dark night and
muddy streets. But I had carried out the
wishes of the poor dragooned husband, and
Mabel received her own. As soon as her
share of the estate could be obtained the
wretched woman disappeared from the
neighborhood, and it was understood had
sailed for Australia.
Although a young and almost briefless
lawyer, I was appointed Mabel's guardian,
and I so faithfully fulfilled my trust, that af
ter six years, when she was little more than
eighteen, she gave herself as well as her es
tate into my keeping ; and as I write this,
fter my tea, and as Mabel leans on the
hack of my chair, watching the rapid strokes
of the pen, she declares that I did not praise
myself at all in the grand act of justice I did,
and the courage I showed at the revolver's
mouth to sustain her rights.
GHOSTS AND GOLD.
PTRANGF. STORY OF A CRUET. MURDER IN OHIO
FUTILE ATTEMPTS TO RECOVER A
LARGE SUM OF MONET.
In the side of a ravine near the village of
Mount Neho, ten miles southeast of Youngs
town, Ohio, is a cave which is an object of
horror to the superstitious and of peculiar
interest to the adventurously inclined.
One night twenty 3-ears ago, so the story
goes, two men sought shelter in the cave
from a blinding snow storm. One was a
simple-minded peddler who for years had
supplied the farm-houses in the vicinity with
his wares, which he carried in a pack on his
back. The other was a friend whom he had
long known, and whom he had met an houi
before, belated like himself and seeking
! shelter from the storm. During the night the
peddler was murdered by his companion,
who thus secured a large sum of money,
j which he hid in the cave. He would not re
I main in the cave with the body of his mur
j dered companion, and rushed out Into the
I snow, intending to return some time and re
j cover the fortune, for there were ffiousands
j of ".dollars in the peddler's hoard. A clasp
: knife he still retained, and with it he blazed
trees along his path so that he might be able
to fiud his way to the cave more easily on his
return.
A month later he was lying in a hospital at
Cleveland, haggard and helpless. He had
been found in the snow miles away from tho
scene of his crime, so badly frozen that am
putation of his hands asd feet was perform
ed in a desperate effort to save his life. Pity
ing Samaritans had cared for him. little sus
pecting that the object of their'sympathywas
a murderer.
ne lingered in the hospital for months,
and then they told him he must die. The re
membrance of the crime he was expiating
so terribly became too much for him to bear.
He sent for his neice, to whom he told the
story, and died.
Scarcely waiting to see the maimed body
of the murderer consigned to the grave, the
Dciee and her husband hastened to Mount
Nebo and made inquiries concerning the dis
appearance of the peddler. By means of
the blazed trees which the murderer had
described ihey found the cave, only to dis
cover that Its walls and rocks had fallen in
and barred up the entrance. The husband
set to work, assisted by farm hands who liv
ed in the vicinity, to remove the rocks. Af
ter tr.ey had progressed a few feet they were
startled by unearthly yells and lights that j
sounded and gleamed through fisures in the
rocks in the darkness in tho interior of the
cavern. The exploring party Immediately
abandoned the work, and a moment later the
rocks again fell in, filling up anew the space

BY 8. W. PARMLY.
Make the infant's bed soft, and tenderly lay
The young head on the pillow to-night ;
For its life is a thread, and perhaps it may
break
Before morning shall come with its light.
A vapor a shadow a cloud in the sky,
liepresents human Jife, and death ever is
nigh.
Love your boy, for you know not how soon
he may stand
In thi.8 wide world an orphan alone,
And plead with a stranger for shelter and
bread
Because father and mother are gone.
This world la a sad and sorrowful place.
For a ooy who receives not a parent's em
brace. Love your daughter, and take the;dcar child
onyonr knee,
And be kind to her every day,
For the pathway of life for her tender young
feet
Is a rough and dangerous way ;
At every lurn there's a pitfall and snare.
And her days may be days of sorrow and care.
Fill the minds of your children with lessons
of love,
They are seeds from which evergreens
grow ;
And forget-me-not flowers their sweet per
fume will yield,
When tne earth is all covered with snow.
Kind words on the tablet of memory will stay
When the hardest of rocks are by time worn
away.
Be kind to your child and the sod will be
green.
And the tears of affection oft fall,
When;your eyes will be sealed and your heart
be at rest,
And your ears closed to every call.
The remembrance of kindness, like drops
from the sky,
Keep the verdure alive that would otherwise
die.
Love your children in Infancy, childhood and
age,
They are treasures far better than silver
ar.d gold ;
And are here as the gift of your Father in
heaven,
To bless you when sick and when old
Ilow haopy the parents whose daughter and
son
Will love father and mother when they are
both gone.
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
A recent murder by one Lefroy has caused
the greatest agitation in England concerning
their system of traveling by railroad. LIn
England, it will be remembered, passenger
cars are divided into small compartments,
which are entered through doors in the sides
of the cars, and have no communication with
each other.
Mr. Laboucher takes advantage of the ex
citement to publish a remarkable story illus-
j trating the perils of the system. It recounts
i the adventures of Rev. Jude Gloam, a shy
young clergyman, who had taken a glass
j more than usual at dinner, and of Miss'Aviss,
I an equally shy young lady whom he accosted
ou the train.
! It Is the curse of shy men that, getting so
. little practice in conversing with women
they never know when to stop when perad
i venture they do get a chance of talking. Mr.
i Gloam had no idea that he was transgressing
j the proprieties.
j "1 say, Miss Aviss," shouted the Rev.
i Jude, with a leer, "supposing there were a
I piece of mistletoe in this carriage?"
No answer from the girl, but her eyes
opened wide, and she shrank up trembling
in her corner of the carriage.
"1 I think there is a piece ; look there !"
continued the fooiish man pointing to the
lamp in the ceiling, for he meant to be face
tious.
The girl was now fairly frightened, and ;
moved from her seat to the further erd of I
the carriage. She had heard of drunken ruf
fians insulting ladies in railway carriages
and she set down her revei end companion as
being drunk, and possibly a ruflian. No
doubt the clerical garb was only a disguise.
"What are you running away from ?" ask
ed Mr. Gloam, and he rose to follow her with
an unsteady gait, caused not so rcuch by his
tipsiness for he was not regularly tipsy as
by the oscillation of the train. But, to the
affrighted girl who saw hitu stagget, it looked
as if he were dangerously inebriated-
"If you approach another step, sir, I shall
scream," cried she, starting up, with all the
color fled from her face.
"What for?" said the Rev. Jude, and,
putting out his hand to steady himself, be
quite unintentionally rested it on her shoul
der. The movement of recoil which this ap
parent assault caused the girl to make threw
Mr. Gloam off his balance, and he plumped
into the scat from which she had risen. This
omy increased the gill's fright, and wildly
opening the window of the carriage she
screamed, "Help ! help ! murder I"
In an instant Mr. Gloam was sobered. The
girl's shrieks cleared all the fumes of wine
from his brain, ana showed him m what a
de.perate position he had placed himself.
"For God's sake don't scream like that," he
implored ; "you'll ruin me," and, seizing the
girl by the waist, he wrenched her from the
window.
"Help !" she gasped, as she felt on to one
of the seats and struggled to regain her foot
ing. "Miss Aviss for God's sake let me explain,''
entreated Mr. Gloam, seizing her hands; but
the horrible fear which was now legible on j
his face made him a more dreadful object to
look at than before, while the violence he took
to restrain tha girl robbed her of all presence J
of mind. Disengaging herself from hitu, she i
tottered toward the nearest door and franti
cally turned the handle. A blast of cold
night air flew into the carriage, and a shower
of sparks from the engine was seen flying by.
Mr. Gloam made a grab at the girl to draw
her back. She eluded him, and, screaming i
louder than ever, tried to step on the foot-
board. Theu there was another faint shriek
and all was silence. The door swinging for
ward by the impetus of the train at a curve,
closed of its own accord. The girl bad slip
ped and was gone.
"Great God !" muttered Mr. Gloam, when
one awful minute had elapsed. He had ta
ken off his hat and was stroking his forehead
as he sat endeavoring to realize what
had 1
happened. He asked himself whether he
was not in the midst of a night-mare. If the
train had stopped at that minuta he would
have been unable to crawl out, and anybody
who had seen him must have suspected him
of crime. During a quaiter of an hour the
poor wretch could neither stir nor speak lu
cidly ; he could only moan and trernble.
What first recalled him to himself was the
sight of the things which the poor girl now
dead, beyond a doubt had left in the car
riage. There was a shawl, a traveling bag,
a novel, and on the floor a small gold watch
without a chain.
The sight of these articles stirred in t!.c

flung them out of the window into the dark,
aft"r which he crept on his knees and looked
under the seats to see if aiiytli'ng else had
been left. He found nothing, riiitible at
his agony of mind then was, he saw the ne
cessity for composing himself, and sat down
again, trying to reflect, nad any or the pas
sengers in the other carriages heard the?girl
shriek ? nad any one seen her fall ? If so,
he was a lost man. He would be arrested at
Birmingham, and in due time he would bo
hanged or sentenced to penal servitude for
the better part of his life. How would his
story be believed ? and, if it were believed,
how would it justify him ? The public out
cry against him would tie all the greater as
j he was a clergyman, and now that he had
1 thrown the girl's things out of the carriage in
j the first moment of his panic the evidence of
! criminal Intention would seem complete.
" by did I throw the thing out?" faltered
Mr. Gloam, speaking to himself, and then he
groaned acain : "My God, what sbnll I do?'
It was between Leamington and Birming
ham that the girl had fallen out of the train.
As the exirf-ss reared Birmingham the ten
sion of Jude Gloatn's nerv es was such as few
men ever experience. Within five minutes
he endured an amovnt of terror and anguish
enough to extend over a life time ; j et be had
I the craft to see that all his chances of escap
I ing unsuspected might depend upon his toe
j havior when the train stooped. He must
! alight coo'ly ; lie must rot run nor appear
anxious to set away ; he must control his
terror, though his heart throbbed to bursting.
I The train glided Into the station ; the por
j ters ran along th pla'form opening doors ;
one of them opened Mr. Gloatn's carriage.
"Any lugcage, sir?'' "Yes, I have some
luggage," said Mr. Gloam, and he stepped
out shaking ln every limb, but apparently
sedate and calm, as it behooves a clergyman
to be. The next moment he was mixed sp
with the throng of people who were foraging
for their trunks and portmanteaus.
So one paid any attention to him. n
heard no one talk about sriripks having been
beard during the journey. The passengers
all attended to their own business and left
him to his. Mr. Gloaro's business was to
collect a portmanteau, a box and a hamper ;
1 having done this, ho.turned to ask a porter to
call a cab for him, but as he was about to
I speak his words froze on his tongue, for he
I saw standing beside hhfl a girl who was the
i very iTi.tg? of Miss Aviss.
! If the girl hi.d looked at him she mut hare
i noticed rU confusion, but she was glancing
I toward nr. elderly gatleman and lady who
wore walking toward her.
''Here's her box, papa, but I have not seen
: her pas," said the girl to the elderly couple.
"We have looked into every carriage,"
said the gentleman addressed as para, "but
I she hssn'tcomc. I suppose she missed the
train."
j "But how comes her box to b here ?"
j "Wasn't there a change of carriages somc-
where th'tween this and London ?" suggested
j the elderly lady. "I think there's a change
I at PIdcot. rerhtips she got out there, and
afterward entered the wrong train."
"How very provoking!" exclaimed the
girl.
"I daresay we shall find a telegram when
we get home," said the elderly gentleman ;
"but we must ask the station mn-ter to take
care of Mary's box until she comes to claim
it."
Mr. Gloam bp.d glanced at the bcx beside
which the girl stood, and he saw on It a card
with the name "Miss Mary Aviss." Tfca
miserable man shrunk as the father, mother
and siiter of the poor girl with whom he had
traveled passed him. Theu he helped ths
i porter to lift his portmanteau, and walked
with him to a cab. ne had a six mile drive
i before he could reach his pt.rih of Rorleigh,
j which was on the outskirts of Birmingham,
i However, the drive wnsaccorr.pii-.hed in safe.
I ty. crrl that night was spent by Mi. Gloam
slecpleas in his r.cw parc.;iar?.
j The body of Mis Aviss was found dead
; on the line early en the following day, and
j afterward her traveling bag wps discovered
j twenty miles further d iwn the line. But for
I thi ('i.''civeiy of the bag the poor girl's death
! would have been attributed to accident ; as
. It was, when it became (lemonstrcted that
somebody must have had a share in her death,
' nobody accused the Rev. Jude Gloam. Nor
' was anybody else accused Th-? porter who
' put Mr. Gloam itito the carrin-'e at Oxford
had not noticed that there wn a young lady
in tho compartment, and simply owirg to
this slight fact of Tion-obs-rrvation the etory
; of Mary Aviso's death was fated to remain a
J mystery.
i It became known in time, however, to one
: man, to whom Mr. Gloam comTiunicsted the
facts in writing some five years after they
had happened. n ended hU lett?r by say
ing : "I have lived in a purgatory of re
morse and sorrow ever since that awful right,
and am thankful to thin I shall soon be rid
of r.iy load." He was dying when he wrotst
this of a decline brought on by overwork In
his parish ; and he loft behind him the repu
tation of t.-iug the most earnest, zealous
kindest, and also the saddest rector whom the
people of Rorleigh had ever seen.
Twe Wor.K of a Coebler. This, chil

have seen him sitting on Ms bench ; but the
promises he makes there have not the force
of a Bench warrant.
St. Crispin is the shoemaker's patron saint.
A man must be a saint to be the patron of
the shoemaker.
Crispin was n martyr, ne probably had
corns. That must have been the martyr with
him. If he had a corn
it was because bis
shoe was a grain tight.
Then the shoemaker puts yon on yonrtaps
when your sole is about ready to leave yon ;
when you are down at the heel he straightens
you up, and when you have nothing to stand
upon he puts you on a new footing.
The shoemaker works with a stirrup. With
It he can stir up his lazy apprentice.
The shoemaker also nses wax ends. A

not.

you stand under obligations to him.
