BY Rinr.'Dft. J. W. ALEXANDOR. N. Y
There is a time, we know not When,
A point, we know not where,
That marks the destiny of men
To glory or despair.
Thera is a line, by us unseen,
That crosses every path;
The hidden boundary between
God's putionce and his wrath
To pass that limit is to dle,—.
To die as If by stealth ;
It does not quench the beaming eye,
Or pale the glow of health.
The conscience may be still at cage,
The spirit light and gay;
That which is pleasingstill may please,
And care ha thrust away.
But ou'Lls'at. forehead God has set
Indelibly a nsark,
Unseen by man—for man as yet
Is blind and in the dark.
And yet the doomed Dian'm path below
May bloom, as Eden, bloomed ;
He did not, does not, will not know.
Or feel that he is , doomed.
He knows, be feels, nag all is well,
And every fear is calmed ;
He lives, be dies—he wakes in hell,
Not only doomed, but damned.
0, where is this mysteriotua bourn,
By which.onr path is crowd n,
Beyond which, God himself 114 - 4 Th sworn
That he who goes is lost.
Row far may we go on in sin?
How long will Clod forbear?
Where does hope end, and where begin
The confines of despair?

"Ye that from God depart,
While It is called to-day, repent
And harden not your heart."

A BANK POZTEIVIIi DAVGEITZIL
She was kneeling with the letter between

which thrilled every nene in her body with
a sudden terror, and paralysed for r mo

The sound she heard was the
crackling of a loose plank on the landing
Immediately below that on which the bank

Sound that had been &miler to her ears for
the lest halt dozen years. Her father had

As soon , as the hurdle was 'te lfgb ed.
Martha had an opportunity of examining
her captors more chitsely, - Their faces wen
covered by black crape vells,•in which were
cat hobs for eyes and mouth. They were
dressed In tansunitbrm snits of dark gray,
almost like prison suits, andwertiehod with
lame material that deadened the sound of
their footsteps.
Through at Martha's terror 'a vivid feel
ing of wonder was at work in her mind as
to the means by which those two unknown
men bad obtained admission into the bank.
She could only conclude that they had crept
in, unseen by sny one, and afterwards se
creted themselves in one of the empty
rooms below stairs; although how such a
thing could have been undetected by her
father, whose daily careful examination of
the premises was well known to her, was a
mystery which just now she was unable to
fathom.
Not much time was allon , d her for sur
mice; a remark from the - ”nit man re
called her thoughts to the no before her
"Here's a busich of ket ' he cried.
"Most likely those are wha we want firs
of all."
"Whose keys'are these, and what d 3 they
open 1' asked the roan who was holding
Martha.
"They are my father's keys," said Mar
tha, "and they open the different rooms and
places down stairs."
"Do they open the cellar and the strong
box in which the money Is kept ?"
"One of them Is the key of the door at
the top of Ike stairs leading down to the
cellar, The key of the door at the bottom
of the Vain and the key of the strong box
arc not there,"
"in whose possession am those, keys ?"
"One pass key la in the possession otMr,
Jeremiah Waagshave ; the other is In yos
sessiactif Ms. Hosea- No one can obtain
admission to the cellar daring their ab
sence."
"You will oblige as by secompanying us
down stairs and pointing out which keys
opts certain doom."
"11 bolding her by the wrist, but in oth
er respects acting with ,perfect politeness
towards bar, one of the masked men con
ducted Martha down the wide old staircase
till they reached the ground floor or the
bank, the second man following tn. Pl y be
hind. As- they went down the lowest
flight of states, Martha was startled to see a
third masked figure—a woman, this time,
and clothed in a gray mantle from bead to
foot—who lighted their downwud progress
with a slender ray from the lantern In her
hand. They halted for a moment at the
foot of thestairs.
"la it not possible," said the leader to
Kariba, "that the pass key of one or both
the brothers Wangshaw may be locked up
in the desk of their private cake?"
"It is possible, but not very likely," an
swered 3lartha.
"Still, we may as well ascertain whether
such is the case or not." •
At the leader's command, Martha pointed
out the key which opened the door of the
private office, and then the desk at which
the brothers generally se, one facing the
other.
A small jet of gas, commonly made use
of for inching sealing-waxy was now light
ed—a greater light might have betrayed
them to some papier-by in the street,—a bag
containing a number of house tweaking im
plernents, swathed its flannel, was next pro
duced, and after five minutes' careful exam
inatitwxby the second man of the two im
plements selected . by blot from the,rest, the
desks or both the brothers were forced open
and their contents laid bare. There was
no key in either of them. A very brief
examination sufficed to convince the leader
of that fact. With a muttered oath he
turned away.
"Five minutes' honest labor lost," he said.
"We must now try the gentle persuasive
power of our flannel-cloth friends here. I
have never yet known them to fail."
Then, still bolding Martha by the wrist,
he led the way out of the office and along
the corridor that led to the heavy oaken
door, thickly studded with iron bolts, which
opened on the flight of stairs by which ac
cess was had to the cellar. As before, he
requested Martha to point out the proper
key ; and as before, Martha Complied. Fur
ther than this the keys would not aid them.
The door yielded readily, falling back of its
own accord as the bolts were withdrawn,
and revealing a gloomy flight of stone stairs,
ending in an iron door. Motioning his sec
ond to keep a watchful eye on Martha, the
leader took The lantern and, descended the
steps. He reappeared in a couple of min
utes, avid led the way back to the private
office without a word. Once there, be
turned and spoke to Martha.
"I must compliment you on your sensi
ble conduct in this affair," he said. "Noiv,
bowe.ver, you must be left to your own re
flections fora while, • Excuse. me-if, before
go, I pet it out of your power to frustrate
my designs, and make a prisoner of you for
the next fear hours. What has to be done
shall be done with is much regard for your
own 'comfort as is possible under the cis
cunistances. Cherconac, the cord." .
,The last sentence was addressed to the
maskgd :roman, who up to this time had
been a mere looker-eu. Now, however,
else stetted into sudden activity,
In obedience toe sign from the lodershe .

onion of bes coptaro, boo cornrow' bad
qukkly rotormil ; and now a wsup Sob of
toile ran through her at the thought that
there was just a faint possibility of escape.
But she quickly kfund, when she tried - to
free herself from her bonds, diatribe had un
derrated the skill of the woman who had
tied her to the pillar. She was as absolute
ly helpless as a child of a year old would
have been under similir "eireuraltlances.—
Again ■nd again, whit desperate energy,
she struggled to free herself; but the sole
result, as seemed, was to make her bonds
faster than bi..f •re. It is true that her arms
were partly ut liberty, but her wrists were
so firmly tied together as to render her
bands completely useless. The last flicker
of hope died out in her helm, and she re
signed herself with bitter patience to her
fate. She had little fear that the burglars
would succeed in reaching the secret golden
state of Wansha w Brothers. Before they
could touch a single sovereign they must
force open two iron doors of immense
Strength. 'Mese doors Martha had always
been taught to look upon as impregnable;
and she smiled to herself to think how ut
terly futile the efforts of the two masked
men would be. She knew nothing of those
'modern improvements in the science of
house-breaking, which would seem to make
light of the strongest safes that can be con
structed.
When Martha had fully made up her
mind that it was impossible for her to es
cape, she set about in calculating how long
her imprisonment was to last. It was now
about half-past 1 A. M., and at ten Will
Tarfford would be here to spend his Christ
mu day at the bank. If not set at liberty
before that time—and she could hardly hope
to be so, seeing that the burglars would re

leaiing the bank—she might eakulate on
being released on the arrival of her sweet
heart. Ho would naturally be surprised on
llnding his sum Mons unanswered, an alarm
would be raised, and finally she, Martha,
would be discovered and set at liberty. But
eight hours and a half of imprisonment—
and such imprisonment was a long and '
dreadful time to look forward to.
This thought was Ilan In hat head when
the masked woman came gilding noiseless
iy into the office, with the intention of see
Ing that her prhoner was safe. The read
justraent of a knot or two satisfied her.
"You have been trying to escape, and
you have found that you cannot," she said
as she turned to go. "Take my advice, and
rest quietly. At such a time as this we do
not stick at trifles."
"What can the woman be ?" asked Mar
tha of herself. "What a strange thing for
a female to be mixed up with such an af
fair."
]ire dreary minutes passed ; how many
she could not hale told. Bhe was dread
fully cramped, and the cord by which she
was fastened seemed biting into her very
Hest. All ordinary thoughts were being
gradually swallowed up in *pain that, with
every minute, was becoming more unbeara
ble. It was all she could do to refrain from
crying aloud. She bit her lip in agony,
and moaned below her breath, but there
was none to hear her.
Suddenly, when her torture waa the
sharpest, there Hashed into her brain a
thought so startling, so tutexpeeted, that
or a moment every pain was deadened in
the rush of utter surprise with which it
overwhelmed her. There had bets reveal
ed to her at one glance a sure and speedy
mode of escape. She stood for 'view mo
ments almost breathless, trying to steady
her brain. Yes ; there it was before her
very eyes, but a painful one, ildeed ; but
still one that must be carried out at all costs
to herself. She was in torture already, and
that other torture which she mast undergo
for the sake of liberty might be sharper,
perhaps, but it would soon be over. But
she would not give herself time to argue
the point, lest her courage should fail her.
She would put herself to the immediate
proof.
The pillar to which 3lartha was tied was
within • yard of the desk that had been
broken open. Close to the edge of this desk
was the upright gas pipe from which sprang
the small jet, still alight, of which mem-
Lion has already been made. By stretching
out her arms Martha could reach this jet.
She could do more than that—she could
held her wrists over it and let the flame
burn away the band by %Lich they were
fastened together ; and her bands once at
liberty, the rest would follow.
This was the method of escape that had
flashed across her brain, and she now pro
ceeded to put it in operation. She drew in
her breath and locked her teeth, and push
ed out her bands with a quick movement,
and so held them while the jet of flame
played on her wrists and on the band that

then she did not falter. Her arms Might
have been made of steel so fixed and rigid
were they, so sternly was she bent on ac
complishing the thing she had set her
self to do. In a few moments--moments
that to her seemed hours—the blazing liga
ture gave - way, curling itself quickly back
like a burning serpent, and her bands were
free. Her bands were free, and they fell
.helpless to her aide. Shegave utterance to
a long sigh—a sigh that was half a soh ;
then her chin dropped on her breast, and for
:little while she knew nothing. Martha's
return to her senses was quickened by the
pain from which she was still suffering.—
After one bewildered glance around, she
came back to a knowledge of her true situ
ation, and of the peril that was still before
her. With a great effect of will, she pull

They were still to the cellar, then, and
their task was as yet unacconsplished.—
Step by step, and silent 18 a shadow, she
crept out of the edlice, and so along the
passage leading to the cellar. A faint light,
which shone up the cellar stairs, and was
reflected on the opposite wall of the corri
dor, betrayed where the nefarious work
was still going on. Toward this light
Martha now crept with stealthy swiftness.
When she had reached the edge of it, she
stood for a moment and listened. Then
keeping her body well out of sight she pro- i
truded her head within the line of light and
looked. Her gaze went down the stone
staircase and into the cellar.
The"„irou door at the foJt of the stairs had
been forced open, and the thieves were now
busy with the great safe itself. Various
house-breaking instruments were scattered
about the floor. One of the men was busy
with a crow bar, swathed in flannel, trying
to force open one of the doors of the safe.
Th otLer man was busy drilling holes in
another door with a strange looking imple
ment, the like of which Martha had never
seen before. The woman was lighting
these operations with a lamp held aloft in
one of her hauds, All three were standing
with their backs to the staircase.
Martha's eyes took in the picture at a
glance. There was one thing besides
which they took in, to wit : the bunch of
keys with which she had opened the door at
the top of the stairs. The bunch of keys
was now lying on the landing at the bottom
of the stairs, close to the iron door. Could
she but obtain possession of it, she saw not
only a way of escape fer herself, but a way
by which the thieves might be caught in
their own trap. But to obtain possession of
the keys without disturbing the thieves was
the one difficult thing to tie,
There was only one mode of obtaining
them and that was to fetch them. But to
do this unseen and unheard, seemed at the
first glance utterly impossible. At the sec
ond glance It seemed a little more fsealble,
but still a dangerous thing to do. Never
theless she made up her mind that It must
be attempted.
Fortunately the door at the foot of the
stairs had not been pushed quite back to
the wall, In consequence of which its bulk
intercepted part of the light held by the
woman, so that that portion of the landing
which was behind the door lay in deep
shadow, and this shadow extended itself in
a narrow strip from the bottom of the stairs
to the top. It was down this strip of dark
ness, herself a moving shadow, that Martha
began to glide on her dangerous errand.—
Fortunately her dregs was a dark one, and
her feet were unshod. Her sole chance of
safety lay in the fact of the three people be_
low stairs being so intently occupied that
they would neither See nor hear her ; and
Martha judged that they were so occupied,
because, for the last few minutes, conver
sation among themselves had almost entire
ly ceased. The grand crisis of their labors
was evidently at hand. With her back and
hands pressed to the wall so as to keep her
self in as small a place as possible, and with
the skirts of her dress kept close &boat her,
Martha began to move slowly down stain.
Her face was very white, but filled with a
firm resolution. From her present position
the inmates of the cellar were not visible to
her, but both her eyes and ears were pain
fully on the alert, and they told her so far
everything was safe. By au inch at a time,
as it seemed, and so slow that her advance
was almost Imperceptible, Martha kept de
scending steadily. In all there were fifteen
stairs to go down ; she had counted them
many a time; and as each one was now
cleared and left behind, her heart pie a lit
tle extra throb, and she felt that by so much
was her task nearer completion, and that
by so much had her danger become more
imminent. When a dozen stairs had been
passed in safety, she paused a moment or
two in her progress. The beating of her
heart sounded so unnaturally loud and
strange in her ears, that she was afraid
those in the cellar would hear it too. Bat,
in a little while her heart grew stiller, her
fainting resolution revived, and she moved
onward again. Thirteen. Fourteen. Fif
teen.
The first part of her task was ores. She
stood at the foot of the stairs, the iron door
close behind her, the btrueh of keys within
a half yard of her feet. The next difficult
thing to do was to pick up the keys, which
were threaded on a steel ring, without being
heard by the thieves. She was just on the
point of stooping to make the attempt
when the woman inside the cellar spoke.
"You must do without ree a minute or
two, Fred," she said, "while I go and look
atter my prisoner." She • set down her
lamp, and had got so far up stairs that by
putting her hand out, Martha could halm
touched her dress, when the harsh melee of
the man recalled her.
"Your prisoner Is quite safe," be said
"and I cannot spare you just now. You
must hold the light for a few minutes
longer, I cannot get on without you."
The woman went back and Martha
breathed again. Now or never. Martha
stooped and put out her hand with a quick,
stealthy movement, and felt the keys be
tween her Angers. How to gather them
and lift them from the ground without ma-
king the slightest. noise? EN% Ws' dif
ficulty was conquered at last.
The hand holding the keys was drawn
back into the shadow, and still there was no
*Lam. Tba remainder of her task seemed
easy. It was only to get back undetected
to the top of the stairs. She was going back
slowly, but not as slowly as she hail Dome

A MULE IRIDE IN EILAIIIIDA
A gentleman writing from 'Fernandina,
Florida, to the Buffalo Commercial Adver-
tiscr, gives the following amusing account
of his adventures will► a gentle mule. Ile
says:
The boys Insisted that I needed relaxa
ion. My health required it. I had a pret
ty fair article of health, I thought; enough
to last me as long as I lived. But I must
accumulate a stock for future use. The
South was the place to get it. And riding
was healthy. The sand is too deep to rids,
except on horseback, and so I thought I
world take a ride. I applied to the livery
man for a horse. He had one. He looked
sorrowfully at me, as though he pitied rue.
Did I ever ride a mule? I never bad. He
has as good riding horses as ware ever sad
dled, but if I wanted a "Rock Me to Sleep,
Mother," style of a ride, I would take a
mule.. I don't consider myself a first-class
judge of mules. I bad some vague notions
in regard to them ; supposed they would do
a large amount of work, with a very little
feed, and were immortal. I had read of
one being driven over the same route, by
the same boy, for 87 years, and he was a
young mule yet.
Bring forth the mule. The mule was
brought. He was a meek looking cuss—a
perfect "Uriah Heep" of a mule, so far as
"Umbleness" was concerned. At least that
was the view I took of him. He was sad
dled, and I mounted. For a mile or two
he paced beautifully. I thought those old
monks I had read about knew what they
were doing when they traveled on mules.
I had a high respect for their judgment.—
Just then my mule began to show symp
toms--symptoms of what I did not know.
I found out. Dropping Ids bead between
his legs, his heels described a parabolic
curve, or a diabolic curve, or some other
infernal curve, In the air, and I got off and
sat on the ground. I got off over his head,
and I did it quick. I'm not so old, but I
can get off an animal of that kind as quick
as s. boy. Then I looked at the mule, to
see if he was hurt. He didn't appear to be.
Then I Inquired around, to see how I was.
I reported an abrasion on the left hip, and
a contusion on the lower end of my back.
Then I thought I would pronounce • left
handed blessing on that mule, and on his
forefathers and foremothers before him, and
oc his children after him. But I didn't. I
wondered it he would stand fire. If I had
had a pistol, I would have put the muzzle
to his ear, and tried him. Not that I was
hostile toward him, but I was afraid some
body might like a ride on him some day
and get hurt. But I had no pistol, so that
benevolent and sanguinary idea was frus
trated. Then I got up and shook the dust
off my feet, and brushed the sand off my
trowaers, as a testimony against that place.
Then I led the mule carefully home, and
stated my case to the livery man. But
when I looked that he should offer to send
for a doctor, or a Samaritan, to do me up
In a rag, and pour olive oil and claampange
on my bruise, he only laughed. And his
man that he had to help him laid down on
a bench and laughed—and I stood holding
the mule—then I laughed. It was ridicu
lous. But I've learned a little wisdom.—
Next time I ride on horseback it will be a
different kind of beast from a bogus Jack
ass.
