HUNTINGDON, PA.
We journey to a better land,
A country out of sight ;
A Father's hand supports our steps,
Ills presence gives us light. ~
The way is oft beset with snares,
And clouds loom overhead ;
But clinging closer to our Guide,
No evil do we dread.
But when the skies are bright and fair,
And pleasures crown our days,
We wander from our Heavenly Friend
Into forbidden ways.
19e gather pleasant fruits, that turn
To ashes in our grasp ;
We pluck the blooming flowers, and find
A serpent in our clasp.
"Our Father, lead us back again
Into thy paths of peace ;"
We cry, and lo 1 our Guido appears,
And bids our wanderings cease.
Ho takes us once mornby the - band
And wipes away our tears,
Forgives our wayward wanderings,.
And soothes our guilty fears.
His hand supports us all the way
Along the toilsome road,
Until, at last, our journey o'er,
We roach His blest abode.
"Sheriff, remove this prisoner!" com
manded the Judge.
"Five years, five lon g years in the
penitentiary. Great od! lem not
guilty ! I am not F' cried Reginald
Forrester,
as he was led away.
hadHe been sentenced to five years'
hard labor for the crime of breaking
the dam of John Cluny's flouring mill.
Two brothers, James and Charles
Crocker, were the principal witnesses.
They Swore that late one night about
six months before, as they were walk
ing home, they saw Forrester walking
rapidly along the path leading to the
dam. Thinking that something had
happened to the sluice-gates, they were
about to follow in order to assist, when
they saw that he began to cut away
the props that upheld the timbers.
Horrorstruck, they stopped. It was
too late. The dam gave away. Rush
ing down the road toward the mill they
shouted—
" The flood ! the flood F' •
The miller heard the snouts, and had
just time to save himself and his family;
shortly afterward the flood reached
the mill, and swept it away. A mer
chant of the village close by swore that
Forrester bought an axe, a shovel and
a pick ou the evening previous to the
breaking of the dam. The axe was
found hidden among some bushes close
to the path, and was identified by the
merchant to be the same which Regi
nald bought of him. The miller swore
that Forrester bad several times been
aeon lurking around the mill. The
miller further stated that at the, time
he discharged him, he (Forrester)sWpre
ho would be even with him. "
I=
"And ho destroyed my property be.
cause I discharged him for daring,
againi3t,' my wishes, to make love to
my daughter, Amy."
Only one person believed FOrrester
to be innocent=-Amy Cluny,-the mil
ler's daughter:. ,
It was twelve at noon, ust four years
after the conviction of Forrester, when
the door of the State's prison opened
to' him. A pale' bowed.down man,
whose eyes were constantly seeking
the ground, walked down the' road to
wards the ihrry boat. Tho crowd that
stood on the wharf quickly moved
aside 'as the man tottered towards a
bench:
"A pardoned convict!" ran from
mouth to mouth.
Yes,' Forrester, fof• it was ho, bad
been pardoned by the Goverhor. FOur
long years ho had toiled in the brick
yard of the prison. Thoughts of self
deStruction often flitted across his
ircarY•mind.' Often, as'he stood 'hear
,the furnace of the brick kiln,he thought
that only one bold leap into the roar
ing flames, and his misery would' be at
an end.
Ile had received only two letters
during his imprisonment. Ono was
from Amy. ,
The other letter came from NeW
York. It was from a lawyer, and read:
"This is to inform you that Allen For
rester, Esq , your uncle, has departed
this life. Ho died intestate, and you
are the sole heir to —." The letter
was received two days before ho was
pardoned.
"Fortune avails me nothing, the
world thinks me guilty," cried he.
"Forrester has come' back. I won
der why in the world he wants tocome
to this place again. lie's rich and has
threatened to shoot Jim Crocker if he
calls him 'convict' again." Such were
the reports that spread over the
lage like wildfire.
At last the news came to the ears of
the miller. With a muttered curse
upon his enemy, as he called Forrester,
he ascended the stairs leading to the
second story of the new mill that ho
had erected in place of the one swept
away. Ilis steps were noiseless as ho
approached Amy's bedroom. He look.
ed thrdugh the keyhole: A minute
afterwards ho wrenched open the door
and rushed into the room—ho had seen
Amy signaling to somebody. As be
rushed to the window be caught a
glimpse of the figure of a man as he
disappeared behind a projecting cliff—
it was the form of Forrester. He caught
hold of Amy's arm.

LIFE'S JOURNEY

from the room, but soon returned with
a loaded gun in his hands, and drugged
her to the open window. The head of
a man could plainly be eeen rising
slowly from behind the cliff. Amy
4ank upon her knees. Tho miller re
leased her arm and slowly raised his
gun. Ile had recognized the features
of Forrester.
"Signal shouted her father, "so
that I can be sure of him. I want to
shoot him through his black heart!''
"Mercy !" shrieked Amy, raising her
hands.
Forrester, who only saw Amy, now
crept slowly towards a projecting shelf
of the cliff. He did no know what
Amy meant ,by raising her bands:
Soon he stood ut the extreme edge of
the cliff, not more than fifteen or six.
teen feet in a horizontal line from her
window. Thirty foot below him the
water of the canon roared over huge
boulders, and behind was a solid wall
of granite, twelve feet high. Tho shelf
was only two wide.
"Die, convict !" shouted John Cluny.
Forrester hoard tho word "convict,"
saw the old man, saw. the bright bar
rel of the gun as it was pointed to.
wards him, heard the report, then all
was blank.
When hiSConsciousness returned, ho
found himself lying on the top' of the
cliff. It•was night. A form was bend
ing over hiln. By the dim starlight he
could distinguish the features, but a
cold shudder passed'through his body
as he felt a hand upon hiEfface, and
heard the well-known tone of the mil
ler.
"He's dead ; and 1 ain't a bit sorry
for it, either. But what am .I going to
do with the body ? I can't throw it
over the cliff.. Well, I guess it's best
to stick to my first plan."
The miller took a rope from his pock
et, passed it beneath the arm pits of
Forrester, and dragged the body'to
cave only known to himself. This cave
was situated close to where one and of
the mill dani was fastened by means of
heavy timbers to the cliffs; the open:
ing was concealed by a clump of
bushes.
"No ono will ever find him there,"
muttered he.
When he entered the bedroom of hie
daughter he found her lying' upon the
floor ineeneible.
When Forrester awoke from his
death-like swoon,darkness was around
him. Paiufully he lifted himself upo'n
his elbow. Bending aside the boughs
he saw the glimmer of a lantern which
stood upon the dam close to the sluice
gates. When Forrester's eyes became
more accustomed to tho.darknoes; he,
perceived the forms of two.men tpho
were bending over the,.breastwork of
the gates. Soon the sound of voices
came to his ears—ho beard his name
mentioned. .11e was about to creep
through the opening of the .buShes,
when the men began to walk towards
him. About four feet from where h'o'
was lying they stopped.
"What time is it, Jim?" said one of.
them. • •
"Time enough for our little job," , re-,
plied the other,-
"This time he'll be cooped up for life
—you bet," said Jim.. •
"Or, else he'll
,swing:for it," remark
ed the other.
"He'll swing for' it," echoed Jim.
"Look there, Jim," interrupted the
other. •
' '"What thfidevil's up; ybit'fool-?"
thought I saw a man's • face ptiop

Forrester•had • protruded his, head.
He saw' by the light of the burning
match the bloated faces of Janes and,
Charles'broeker. • •'' ' '
"Stuff and• nonsense:•'•'Go• to.work.
Have you fixed the plank. so that you
can shove it acme _the gulch to her.
window ?" „
. "Yes," growled the brother; "hutit
was devilish hard,worli." '
"Then we aro sure of the No**
for the dam," Said.:Charles, moving
• Like a flash:ef : lightning,the plot of,
the - villains : was revealed, to;•Forrester.,
They.flrat intended i to .cut,,tho, dam;
then they would resoue„tllo..fltmilY of
the miller by means of the. plank. „Of
course• this lat o ter.,would . : insure •the
gratitude of. the miller: The •breaking
of the dam would again be, charged
uponi Forrester, who, as one .of the
brothers remarked, !',would be sentenc
ed‘to the penitentiary,for life or, else
would swing for it." , - ,
;A look toward the dam showed i that•
the water was :nearly ;level: - with, thO
path. He heard, the, cracking of tim
bers and,planks as, the two men were
prying with Au iron bar at one of ,the
beams. A rumbling sound , was-heard
—it was the peot,up water as it. began
to overflow the darn. Ho, rose, to his
feet, and drawing aside the bushes ,he
stepped upon a shelf-like, path ;which
ran alongside the cliff.
"Villains !" 'he shouted. The two
brothers lOoked up, but Saw no one,
for the light of the lantern was
rotting the sluico.gates. They resum
ed their Work. Again Forrester shout
ed, and again they lifted their heads,
when there came a terrible crash•min
gled with the roar of the water. For
rester hoard a cry of despair; and saw
James Crocker full headlong,over the
dam into the seething water below.
With a prayer upon •his lips for the
safety of her hp loved, he ran along
the narrow path until he came oppo

raising the light above his head. A
cry,of terror escaped his lips as the
light shone upon the pale face of the
man whom he thought he had killed.
The candle dropped from his hand as
ho sank upon the floor. Meanwhile
Forrester was searching for the plank.
At last he found it. He tried to shove
it across the gulf but his strength fail
'ed him. •
"Oh God! is-there no help hero to
assist me? Help; Help!" he cried,
still tugging at the plank.
"Como on, boys," shouted a voice.
Soon a dozen men with lanterns were
rushing towards Forrester.
"The convict !" cried the foremost,
as he held, the lantern to the face of
the prostrate man:
"Ho has cut the dam again," cried a
miner, "I am sure of it."
"Impossible; see, he has been wound
ed,"- cried the first speaker. Forres
ter pointed to the plank and then to
wards the mill.
The mon understood his gestures.
Soon one'end of the plank found a
resting place 'upon the 'window sill,
and a man with lantern in hand walk
ed across the swaying bridge and dis
appeared through the' window. An
other and another followed. A few
minutes after, two

across'the blank, bearing between them
the insensible form of the miller, an
other followed carrying the brother of
Amy. But where' was the miller's

the awful roar of waters.
A white form was seen at the win
dow. It lifted its hands as.if to warn
some ono away. The light of half a
dozen lanterns illuminated her ghastly
face, which was partially concealed by
her long black :tresses. '
Torrester 'saw her. With superhu- .
man strengthhe rose to his feet and
staggered toward the plank. _
Amy 'stepped upon the window sill.
She had heard the' voice of him she
loved: Slowly she walked across the
plank until she was within a few .feet
of the men. She stopped. Again her
lover pronounced her name. She rec
ognized his voice. A cry of joy came'
from ' her - lips as she gave a bound
which brought her within the reach of
the outstretched•hawds of the men.
Another cry answered,from the gulf
below—a cry for help. IMMediatelv

The man does not get rich' so rapidly

he goes on, verifying the old proverb,
"A rolling stone gathers no moss."
