No Time Like the Old Time ,
There is no time like the old tine,
When you and I were young,
When the buds of April blossomed,
And the birds of spring-time sung,
The garden's brightest glories
By summer suns arc nursed,
But oh, the sweet, meet violets,
The flowers that open first!
There is no place like the old place,
Where you and I were born,
Where we lifted first our eye lids
On the splendors of the morn,
From the milk-white breast that warmed us,
From the clinging arms that bore,
Where the dear eyes glistened o'er us,
That will look on us no more !
There is no friend like the old friend
That has shared our morning days,
No greeting like his welcome,
No homage like his praise;
Fame is the scentless sunflower,
With gaudy crown of gold ;
But friendship is the breathing rose,
With sweets in every fold.
There is no love like the old love
That we courted in our pride ;
Though our leaves are falling, falling,
And we're fading side by side,
There are blossoms all around us,
With the colors of our dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine,
When the !ight of day is gone.
There are no times like the old times—
They shall never be forgot!
There is no place like the old place—
Keep green the dear old spot !
Their are no friends like our old friends—
May heaven prolong their lives!
There are no loves like our old loves—
God bless our loving wives
THE FELON'S RETURN.
"Will you ask whether Mr. Graham will
see a stranger ?"
The clerk spoken to nodded, arose, and
went into an inner office. The stranger
remained, leaning against the walnut rail
ings of the desk, his hand trifling with the
little door that shut outsiders from the
sanctum within. He was a tall, fair man.
of thirty, with close-cropped hair and
beard. His shoulders were broad, his fea
tures aristocratic, but there was an odd air
about him that puzzled the clerk, and
would have puzzled any one. It was some
thing that could not be defined, but it per
vaded the whole man ; a suppressed look,
as of one forced in some way to hide his
feelings ; a manner of standing and hold
ing his hat which had something apologetic
in it.
"Mr. Graham will see you, sir," said the
clerk, returning and opening the little rail
ed door. "In there—the office to the
right."
The stranger passed into the room indi
cated, and closed the door behind him ;
then standing with his back against it, he
fumbled with his hat in the same odd man
ner in which lie had handled it in the out
er office, and instead of speaking,. looked
at the gentleman behind the desk with
eyes that bad a measureless appeal in
them.
The other did not ri,:e from his chair,
nor hold out his hand, nor even speak for
some moments ; each looked at the other,
that was all. But it was the elder who
broke the spell at last.
"So," he said, "is it you James ?"
"Yes, it is I," said the other. "Haven't
you a• word for me, William ?"
"I have a good many words that you
might not like to hear," said William Gra
ham. "I really can't say I'm glad to see
you, delighted, honored, :and all that you,
know."
"I don't expect any one to be glad,"
said the other. "I know I've disgraced
the family, but I've been punished for it.
Fifteen years, William—think of that!—
fifteen years of prison life and prison fare
and prison friends! I'd have given my
soul to undo what I did, even before it was
found out ; and I never meant to keep the
money."
"We know the story," said the mer
chant. "You were in a position of confi
dence ; you betrayed it. It's the old af
fair. I've had it happen in my own office.
I can't feel any sentimental pity for a fel
low like you. What brings you here,
James ?"
Shifting his hat from hand to hand, look
ing from under his eyebrows in an abject
fashion, pitiable to contemplate when one
saw in what a gentlemanly mould he had
been cast, James Graham answered :
"I was twenty when I went to prison.
I'm five-and-thirty now. The outside
world has been blank to me for all these
years. I want work. I want you to g ive
it to me—any honest work, William. I'm
a good bookkeeper, but I'll be a porter,
an errand man, anything."
"Oh, no, not anything here," said the
elder. "You've reckoned without your
host, James. You are no brother of mine.
I cast you off when you became a felon.—
For the sake of the poor woman who called
you 'son,' I'll give you some money, enough
to live on for a week or two. I will never
give you another cent—don't expect it.—
I will have you sent away if you come
again."
The prison-taint was so strong upon the
other man that his pride was not aroused
yet ; he fumbled with his hat, ground him
self against the door, looked abjectly from
under his eyebrows again, and asked :
"How is sister Jessie ?"
"Well," said the merchant.
"Can you tell me where she lice ?"
as.ked his brother.
"No," said the mercl►ant. "Jessie is
married, and has tried to forget the terri
ble grief you gave her. You are the last
person a respectable brother-in-law would
care to see."
"I'll ask you one more question," said
James, in a faltering voice. Ada Mus
grove—what has become of her ? Is she
still living ? Is she married ?"
"I have no information for you," said
the merchant, harshly. "Here is fifty
dollars. If you are careful, you will get
work before it is gone. Remember, you'll
have not another cent from my hands.
Take it and go, and don't come back
,again."
He flung the money down upon the ta•
ble, but there was a spark of manhood in
his brother, even yet; he could not take a
gift so proffered.
Tall as he was, lie seemed to grow a
head taller as he drew his shoulders back,
and glaring at his brother, threw the notes
that lay before him into his face.
PAMPTILETC
"Curse you, keep your money !" he
said. "I don't want it. I don't want
.anything from you or any one. I came
fcr help, it is true; for help to be an hon
est man. I've been among the outcasts
of tile world so long that I've lost kinship
with decent folk, but I thought a brother
m ight hold out a hand to draw me back.
You rel'used it. Money ! Why, look at
Zht cflorg-Ztlier.
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1874.
these hands, these shoulders—look at me !
I can earn money somehow. And, by
Heaven ! if this is all your respectability
and Christianity amount to, I don't care
if I see no more of it. There are plenty
to welcome me, and you have driven me to
them. Remember that, son of toy mother !
You 1"
He thrust his hat upon his head and
dashed out of the room, striding through
the outer office with no heed of any one
there, and clanging the door behind him
as he departed.
One Clark night a. few weeks later,
James Graham, in full fellowship with a
gang of burglars, was receiving instruc
tions from a companion how to enter and
conceal himself in a house that had been
marked fur robbery. The lesson was given
in front of the doomed house itself', and
after his companion had left him, Graham
muttered :
"Yes, I belong to the fraternity, now I
am here to rob this house. I have the
mask and the pistol in my pocket. I have
my little dark lantern. I am a burglar,
and burglars were the only men who wel
comed me back from prison. My brother
turned his back on me. My brother—l
wonder what my poor mother would say if
she could see me now. If she knew—"
He stopped himself with an oath—seemed,
with a motion of his hand, to cast away the
thoughts that were upon him—and in a
moment more had mounted to the window
indicated by his comrade ; and finding
that it opened easily, clambered in. His
shoes were noiseless. He made no sound
as he moved; and guiding himself by the
lantern's light, looked for a place of con
cealment. It soon presented itself. A
long wardrobe, with a door at either end.
In this, behind a very curtain of suspended
garments, he hid himself.
He heard, after a while, a baby cry, and
in a minute more a step ran across the
entry, and a ray of light glanced through
the keyhole at one end of the wardrobe.
"Ada," cried a lady's voice. "come here.
Baby is wide awake, and I can't leave
him."
Then another rustle, another step, and
there were two women very near him—so
near that he could hear them breathe.
"I'm so glad you came to-day, Ada,"
said the other, "when I am all alone.
Charles was called away unexpectedly this
morning! I declare the thought of that
accident makes me ill, and I am nervous
all alone in the house at night, dear. Be
sides being always glad to see you, I am
so thankful to have you to-night !"
'And I am nevernerrous, — Jessie," said
the other. "I'm as good as a man abJut
the house, mamma says. I've hunted
imaginary burglars with a poker many a
night. Mamma is always imagining bur
glars, dear soul I"
"Don't speak of them," said the matron,
who was evidently quieting her child, as
only a mother can. "This house would be
more of a temptation to them to-night
than it has ever been before since we lived
here. There are ten thousand dollars in
that safe, Ada, Charlie hadn't time to de
posit it. They telegraphed that Mr. Bird
might be dying."
As she wade this confession, the man
concealed so near her, listened with his•
very heart in his ears; but it was not to
the statement so well calculated to rejoice
a burglar's heart. That was forgotten.
He heard only the voices and the names
these two women called each other by.
Ada ! That had been the name of the girl
he loved. Jessie ! That was his sister's
name. After all, what was it to him ?
Like his brother, the latter had cast him
off, of course, and no doubt Ada only re
membered him with horror. Still, how
like the voices were. Could it be ? lie
stole forward, and knelt down with his
eyes to the keyhole, but he could only see
part of a woman's figure swaying to and
fro, as she rocked her infant on her bosom.
"Dear little fellow," said the voice of the
other woman. "How sweet babies are."
She came forward and knelt down and
I saw her profile. It was Ada Musgrove
—older, for he had left her a girl of six
teen, and found her a woman of thirty, but
handsomer than ever.
"You love children so, I wonder you
don't marry," said the matron ; and now
James Graham knew that it was bis sister
who spoke. "I know that William wants
you to have him. lie always loved you.
And, Ada, he can give you all that makes
life happy."
James Graham's cheeks flushed in the
darkness. He hated the world more than
ever now. Ile bated his kinsfolk—the
cruel brother and sister of his most of all.
"Ile cannot give me the one thing ne
cessary for wedded happiness : love hint,"
said Adda. "No, Jessie; I have never
said this to you before, but I must say it
new. I loved poor James too well ever to
love any other wan while I know he lives."
"Ah, Ada," cried Jessie, stooping over
her, "it is a comfort to we to know you
still remember my poor brother. I thought
I was the only living being who still loved
him." And then James Graham, listening
on the other side of the dour, heard these
women weeping, together and for him.
"Yes, Ada," said his sister, '-and
though poor James is so sadly disgraced,
still when he returns I will be glad to see
him, and this shall be his home if he will,
and my good husband will help him to win
back the place among men that he lost so
long ago. William is cruel to him ; but
then we women are softer. When he is
free again I trust he will come straight to
us. I fear William would hurt him by
some reproachful speech. lie will be free
very soon, Ada."
The wan who had stolen into that house
to rob it—the man of whom they spoke—
could bear no more, his heart was softened
as it had not been since he was a little
child. It was as if the angels had spoke',
to him.
Then he remembered why he was there,
and kneeling and kissing the door that lay
between him and those dear women who
had saved him from desperation, he crept
away, and finding his way to the window
which he had entered, he departed as he
had come, vowing to lead an honest life,
and some time, perhaps when he was dy
ing, to see these two dear creatures once
again ; at leak, always the memory of
their looks and words would keep his heart
tender and his life pure, lonely as might
be his lot.
With these thoughts in his mind he
stood on the ground, and remembered witl►
a pang who would arrive soon and what
their errand would be ; and that while he
scorned to betray them, he must stand be
tween them and their purpose, and save
his sister's- home, perhaps her life, from
their hands.
He felt in his bosom for his pistol ; he
would not use it until the last ; but he
must stand between those women and all
harm.
He knew well enough the unforgiving
ferocity of those with whom he had to deal,
and he muttered a little prayer for aid—
the first he had breathed for many a year
—as Lie heard soft footsteps approaching.
"lie is opening his eyes," said a voice.
James Graham heard it, and wondered
what had happened, and why he could not
turn himself, and who spoke.
Then came a remembranc3 of a quarrel,
a conflict, and the report of a pistol. lie
knew all now. his fellow burglars had
shot him,left him for dead. But where was
he now ?
"Ada, dear," said the voice again, "I
think he is opening his eyes."
Then they did open, and James Graham
saw two women betiding over him.
' James," said one, "do you know sister
Jessie ?"
The other only burst into tears.
"Yes, I know you both," said lie, faintly.
"How did I come up here ? I am so full of
wonder. How did you know Die ?"
"We found you wounded—dead. we
thought, at our gate," said Jessie. -It was
Ada knew you first."
"Pear Jessie !" he said ; "dear Ada!"
"We don't know how it happened," fie
said. "When you are better you must tell
us. Only we have you back, and you shall
never go back again ; never."
He knew he never should. lie knew it
did not matter whether he told them how
he had come to them now. Ile knew that
in a halo while he should neither see them
nor know their voices, but be was very hap
py. A furetaAe of heaven was given to him.
"They have been terrible years," he
said ; "terrible years. All that while I
have never heard from you, but I have
now. Come closer ; I can't see you very
well. There's a mist before my eyed. I
want Jessie to kiss me."
The sister flung her arms about his neck,
and kissed him over and over again. Then
he turned to Ada Musgrove.
"If I were going to live I should not ask
it," he said ; "but you used to kiss me long
ago, Ada. Will you kiss me now, my dear,
just once more ?"
She took him in her arms.
"God is very merciful," he said ; "more
merciful than man. Perhaps we shall meet
again, darling." _ _
These were thelast words he ever said
N,eading for ill*
Mrs. Skinner's Lecture.
Now dear Mrs. Skinner on women's
rights. She is too good to be lost, and it
being the latest out, we have borrowed a
copy of the lecture from "Brick." We
"fixed" it up a little, and added a few
wcrds in parenthesis, where we thought
the original Greek was ton obscure.
Truly Mrs. Skinner is 'some," and, well
let's invite Mrs. S— to lecture in
Huntingdon but she wusn't bring that man
Skinner along with her:
Miss President, feller wimmin. and wale
trash generally—l am here to-day fir the
purpose of discussing woman's rights, re
cussing her wrongs, and cussing the men.
I believe sexes were created perfectly
equal, with the woman a little more equal
than the man.
I also believe that the world would to
day be happier if man had never existed.
As a success, man is a failure, and I
bless my stars that my mother was a
woman. [Applause.]
I not only maintain myself but a shift
less husband.
They say man was created first.
Sposin' he was ? Ain't first experiments
always failures ?
If I was a betting man, I would bet
two dollars and a half that they are. The
only decent thing about him was a rib,
and that went to making something better.
[Applause.]
And then they throw it into our face
about Eve taking an apple.
I'll bet five dollars that Adam boosted
her up the tree, and only gave her the
core.
And what did he do when he was found
out?
True to his masculine instincts, he
sneaked behind Eve's Grecian bend and
said: "Twan't me—'twas her!"
And woman has had to father every
thing since—and mother it too !"
What we want is the ballot ; and the
ballot we're bouad to have, if we let down
our back hair and swim in a sea of san
guinary gore. [Sensation.]
Bring up your little daughters to love
and caress the ballot, and when they are
old and scrawny, they will not dep:u•t from
it.
Teach them that man occupies no posi•
tion that woman cannot fin—even to a
pair of pants.
Teach them that without the ballot wo
man is simply a cooking and washing ma
chine ; and that with it she can just rule
her little roost(er.)
Given them little ballots to r pray with.
We have plenty of ballet-girls; but
what we want is ballot women.
The male creature now sitting on his
platl'orm, whom the law compels me to
call my husband. says I have got ballot on
the brain.
Ile says I sleep with a ballot under my
pillow, and dream that I am commander
in-chief of a large army of ballots, and
cleaning out everything that looks like
male sex, while the band plap, "See the
conquering shero cometh!" (for a man.)
Ste') remarks show that man was
created lower than the beasts of the sea.
the carrion of the air. or the rhinoceros
of the prairies.
Arid what can bo expected of this man
Skinner, wio intellect is lower that) that
of a common quahang ? [Applause.]
My soul is filled with poetry and senti•
ment ; and his vulgar remarks grate on
my ear ; and when I hear persons use ex.
pressions that are not refind and genteel.
I want to go through 'em like croton oil
and molasses. (Bear, hear.) (Clear
through.)
I ain astonished that there ain't more
interest manifested in this absorbing
topic. This hall ought to be packed from
dome to ceiling and a conple hundred
climbing up the lightning rod outside.
A short time ago I addressed an im
mense throng on Boston Common—at
least thirty-seTen persons, including men
and women of both sexes—who stood
packed together at least for fifteen minutes.
hanging on my words, the enthusiasm
finally reaching such a pitch that they in
sisted on burning my effigy to slow music
(dead march.)
And we are bound to succeed.
Our speakers don't. lack brains nor in
fluence ; but there is one thing I wished
they did lack, and that is their desire for a
husband.
No matter how rabid a woman is on
this question, or how much she talks
against the men on the platform, she'll
grab the first man that offers himself, and
turn right straight round; and there is
where we are weak! Most women seem
to think that we were made but for ono
purpose, and that was to have "Mrs." on
our tombstone
From the creation of the world we hare
had all the great men on our side.
There's Pharaoh. What did Pharaoh
do?
Recognizing the fact that women must
inevitably rule, he issues an order to
strangle all the male children. If this
thing hadn't slipped up. 'twould be money
in our pockets. Mr. Pharaoh is dead
now, and hadn't forethought enough to
leave the business to some good man.
Among those who escaped justice at
this time was a youth called Moms, of
bullrush fame; and since then every Mose
has been a wart upon the face of nature.
including the wretched object whose rear
