My Darling's Grave.
I pressed a kiss upon her lps
And left her standing there,
Alone beside the garden gate
Among the moonbeams rare,
{touched ber hand and said—*Farewelll”
Then passed beyond her sight;
No tongue can speak, no words can tell
The sadness of that night.
Upon the billows of the deep
[ whispered—*'Love adien!
The promise in my heart I'll keep,
Sweet one forever true.'’
And when the shadows fall on main
And darken sky and sea,
[ hear the murmur once again:
The vow she whispered me,
The mouths and wear years roll by,
Yet the but draws more near
I'he band between my love and I;
Thoagh never word 1 hear
From her who was my found delight,
The treasure of my heart, —
The lass I kissed that summer night
Ere from ber I did part.
Again I gaze upon the shore,
"Tis home, —of land the best;
. I fly me to my darling’s door
To take her to my breast!
They lead me to the willow tree
Whose tendrils softly wave
Above the heart so dear to me:
Above my darling’s rrave!

MAGGIE AND THE BURGLARS.
“You are not afraid, Maggie?’
“Me afraid!” said Maggie. *‘I'd no

lating properties which were mysteries
to his neighbors, and they were suspi-
cious that the little back parlor, sacred
to business, had even seen such lesser
gold watches, cashmere shawls, and
diamonds of genteel distress,
Two or three mortgages that hie had
bought up had been rather cruelly
foreclosed, and he was a hard landlord
and a bad person to owe money to al-
together. On the whole he was dis-
liked in the place, and, rich as he was,
would have found it hard to get a wife
to his liking among his neighbors at
Oakham.
However, having resolved to mary
again—there had been a Mrs. Van
Nott, who ,had died years before—he
had sought out a wealthy widow of a
saving disposition, who lived on a
small farm some miles out of town, and
having already disinh ed her daugh-

wy wife may think the furniture old,
and want something new for the par-
lor.” And Mr. Van Nott departed.
“Yes,” said old Maggie, “no doubt
she'll have fine, extravagant ways,
Poor master]! What a pity he should
marry after all—but old folks are the
worst fools. A young man of eight
and forty, too, when he has a sensible
servaut, sixty last January, and knows
what belongs to good housekeeping.
If be wanted to marry why didn’t he
ask me? I'd net have gone galivant-
ing and spending. Ah, well, he'll suf-

to begin her sweeping and dusting,
She had said truly that there was no
fear born with her, but as the night
drew on she began to be somewhat
lonely, us her master’s presence was
strangely missed out of the great house,
and there was something ghostly in the
look of his empty chair when she
peeped into his little back office,
“If I was superstitious,” she said to
herself, “I should think something aw-
ful was going to happen. I feel chilly
up and down my pack,and I keep
thinking of funerals. I'll make my-
self a cup of tea, and see if I can get
over it.”
And accordingly old Maggie shut
herself into the snug kitchen, and
lighting two candies, drew a pot of the
strongest young hyson, and putting her
feet close to the cooking stove began to
feel much more comfortable,

frent parlor.
| They came out with their hat’s off,
and the other man also held his in his
{ band.
“*I regret to leave you all alone in the
{ Bouse,” he said.
“‘I don’t mind that,” said old Mag-
i gle, “but it’s terrible!”
{ “If you would like me to stay,” said
{ the man,
“No,” said Maggie, “I’ve no fear of

| Then she locked the door, went into

{ the mantel, looked at the coffin through
| her tears.
{ ‘‘He was good enough to me,” she
| said; poor Mr. Archibald! Aud this
| comes of wanting to marry at this time
{of life, and galivanting on railroads,
| I wonder whether he is changed much.
I'll take a look,” and Maggie crossed
the room and lifted the lid over the
face of the enclosed body.
“I'll take a look,” she said to her-
| self again, *‘I’'m not afraid of dead
folks.”
In a minute more Maggie dropped
from head to foot. She had seen,
within the coflin, a face with Its eyes
shut, and with bandages about the
head, and he ghastly features of aclown
in a circus minus the red mouth.
But it was a living face, well chalked,
and not her master’s, and Maggie knew
al oace that she had been well humbug-
ged-~that this story of her master's
death was a lie, and that a burglar lay
within the coffin, ready to spring upon
her and bind her, or, perhaps, murder
her at any moment, .
{ She could, of course, open the door
| and try to escape; but the accomplices
' of the man were doubtless outside, It
| was a long distance to the nearest
house, and, even if they did not kill
| her, they would execute their purpose
and rob the place before shie returned,

| If she could secure these pistols she

| She had them safe,
She glided back to the front parlor
{and sat down on a char, She turned
| up her sleeves and grasped a pistol in
{ each hand, and she watched the coffin
quietly, In half an hour the lid stirred.
A cautious hand crept up the side, A
wiry eye peeped out.
It fell upon the armed figure, and
closed again,
*“You had better,” said Maggie to
herself,
Again the head lifted,
Maggie sprang to her feet.
“You're fixed quite handy,” she
said coolly. ‘No need of laying you
out if I‘fire, and I can aim first rate,
especially when I'm afraid of ghosts,
as I be now.”
The head bobbed down again. Mag-
gie reseated herself, She knew that
this could not last very long. It was
as she supposed. A moment more and
the coffin was empty, and a ferocious
young fellow sat on its edge and thus
addressed her:
**We meant to do it all quiet,” he
said, “and I don’t want to frighten an
old woman. Just put them down.”
*‘I’'m not frightened,” said Maggie,
“I'm coming to take them things
away from you,” said the man,
“Come,” said Maggie,
He advanced one step. She took aim
and he dodged, but a buMet went
through his left arm, and it dropped by
his side,
Furious with pain, he dashed toward
her. She fired again, and this time
wounded him in the right shoulder,
Faint, and quite helpless, he staggered
against the wall,
**Therel you've done 1t, old woman,”
he said. Open the door and let me out,
My ® is up.”
*“Mine isn’t,” said old Maggie. * Get
into your coffin again, or this time D'li

the house before dayhght would be to

little while she had stopped the blood
and saved the burglar’s life. More
than this, she brought him a cup of
tea and fed him with it as if he had
béen a baby, Nothing, however, could

Absut one or two o'clock she heard
