[For the John &L.] Stranger than Fiction. BY J. W. WELCH [ltesrectfully submitted to the soothsayer■ and astrolo gers for Interpretation.] The wintry winds were moaning through The tree-tops by my cottago door ; The chilly snow unhindered blew In flakes across the earthern floor. Reclining on my lowly couch, In vain I wood the drowsy god, Invoking that mysterious touch, Which heals the pain of sorrow's rod. My thoughts traversed the verdant plain Of boyhood's golden fleeting years; And u I lived them o'er again, I bathed their sunshine with my tears. And as feud memory climbed the slope, I noted every shade which foll Across the radiant brow of Hope; Each shadow had a tale to toll. And now, at life's meridian glow, How feebly shone the light of old; Misfortune's mantle, like the snow, Enwrapt me in a slumber cold. Exhausted by the grief, which lay, - In gloomy horror on my mind, Unconsciously I rank away Within the realms Iltie longed to End. I dreamed, that to my humble cot A crowd of warm admirers came ; Bewailing sore my hapless tot, They pointed to the hill of fame. They said, "beneath my tattered vest A priceless ruby lay concealed; That few were of the gem possessed," And urged me to ambition's field. Incited by their earnest calls, I seized:the Poet's gilded pen, And nought renown's effulgent halls, Whose light sustains the toiler, luau And as I braved the glassy steep, I heard their wild encomiums ring, Like angel voices o'er the deep, Or song-birds in the.early spring,. But yet, methought my eager feet Quite slowly climbed the tow ling height ; Another sound my cam did greet, From out the gloom of Lethc'e night, It was the voice of Indigence, Hoarse croaking on the ambient air; With bursts of wounding eloquence, Upon the van of black despair. Her dreaded power clothed my soul With care's indissoluble gloom; With one fond glance toward the goal, My genius found an early tomb. Unheeded, on my listless ear The eulogistic accents fell; 'Mid Penury's environs droar I heard my Muse's funeral knell. With iron no rve, I met the foo Who sought the germen of my life, Nor ceased until his threatenings low, Proclaimed the prowess of my knife Then turning to my busied Muse, With trembling hope I sought her charms ; O'erjoyed, a moment thus to lose lily griefs within her open arms. I touched my harp, its voice embraced The welkin with a fond caress ; Its warblingn, for a moment, chased The sorrow from my aching breast. Oh I how I longed fore'er to fold My darling to my throbbing heart, Not India's gems nor Ophir's gold Could tempt me from her to depart. But while my ravished soul reclined Within Cscuores fair bowers, I heard, as distant murmuring wind, The gathering of the foctuan's powers. And swooping low, on vulture wing, Ills heralds dared me forth again, To battle with the frowning king, Or euffer 'nesth his horrid reign. But lo 1 a change came o'er my dream, My panegeric friends appeared ; I saw their upraised weapons gleam, No longer then the foe I feared. I taw, with joy, each trusty blade, Athwart the gathering darkness flash; Rejoicing for the timely aid, • I scorned the cruel tyrant's lash. And rushing on the yielding foe, Supported by their willing hands, My banner 'bone with victory's glow, And sundered were Oppression's bands. Then up the steep, my nimble feet, With new-born vigor toiled, the while The far-off goal my eyes did greet, And sanguine hope did pain beguile. But ere I reached the summit fair, Where Fume's immortal pleasures gleam, And mortals breathe elysian air I 'woke, and lo ! it was a dream. k~efiorg-Zelltr. A NIGHT OF HORROR. The setting rays of a cold December sun were still faintly shining over the little village of Arlington, when the mail coach from London drew up, with its attendant bustle and confusion, before the "Blue Dragon,", the principal inn of the place. As quickly as their numb limbs would let them, the half-frozen outsiders, and but little warmer insiders, climbed down from their perches and entered a parlor, wht re a cheerful fire and still inviting dinner were ready to welcome them. Owing to the shocking state of the roads, the coach was compelled to stop there that night, instead of continuing its journey, and reaching its destination the following day. Of course there was the usual num ber of grumblers, who had the most urgent business on hand, and a sprinkling of fas tidious ones, who were too dignified to spend one night in a low tavern, as they so politely termed it, but even these, un der the influence of the good cheer, com bined with the generc us effects of a little stronger stimulant, soon became appeased, and in a short time all were chatting to gether on friendly terms. When the inner man, not to say woman too, had been refreshed, they all, as if by common consent, drew up their chairs to the fire, with the intention of making a night of it. Some talked politics, some discussed mercantile business, some nar rated travels, others adventures—the most exciting of which was given the title to our story. It was told by an elderly lady, who gave it with such emphasis that she alone succeeded in really captivating the atten tion and interest of all. It ran thus : "Some forty years ago my husband and myself; then but lately married, were living in a little house in Devonshire. A pictur esque spot indeed, and desolate enough for any but a newly-married couple, since we were a good two miles from the nearest village, and there was no habitation be tween us and it. We bad not been there long before my husband had cause to dis miss his man-servant on suspicion of steal ing plate, which, though never proved, clearly pointed to him as the thief, and the man had since then taken up his abode in the village, where he lived in an idle and dissipated manner. "One morning, soon after this, as my husband and myself were setting out for a Nalk, a message was put into his hands, which stated that his uncle was dying, and wished to see him at once. This we thought strange, as the last accounts we had received of his health had been very good; but my husband, who had expecta tions in that quarter, and really did like the old gentleman, thought it best to go at once and satisfy himself of the truth of his own eyes. Accordingly he set out, leav ing me alone—the first time since our HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1875 marriage—and promising to be back again the following day, if possible. "In the afternoon the weather changed, and the sky that had been so bright and blue in the morning soon became clouded and overcast. The wind too got up with an ominous sound; everything, in short, betokened a coming storm. I went into the house, and had hardly taken off my bonnet and shawl before the first drops of rain began to patter down against the windows. With the falling of the rain a sort of indescribable depression seemed to come upon me, and do what I would I could not shake it off. In vain I tried the piano, a favorite book, my work—it was of no use; it seemed to settle more and more upon MC as the evening advanced. "At last, by ten o'clock, I could stand it no longer, and, telling my maid I should not want her again, I went up stairs to my bed room, On entering, I locked the door behind me, and mechanically laid the key on the mantle-piece. I sat down before the looking-glass and began to brush my hair, and thinking all the while of how my husband got on, and what was the earliest hour I might reasonably expect bins back the next day. Happening to raise my eyes, I saw a hand creep from behind the curtains of the bed; silently take the key from the mantle piece, and disappear again. How I refrained from shrieking out on seeing this I scucely know. For a moment I felt completely sick with fear, and my face, reflected in the glass, appear ed to use ghastly. But it was not for long, however ; once more my heart began to beat, and the awful reality of my poition suddenly flashed upon me. With a pres ence of mind that was quite unnatural to me, I continued brushing my hair as though I had seen nothing, while a hun dred reflections rushed through my mind. There I was alone and unprotected, locked up in a room with an unknown being who had hidden himself—God only knew for what purpose. -Tu have shown the least alarm or suspicion of his presence would have been to court immediate death ; for I felt well assured that one who had taken the trouble to secrete himself would have been deterred by no scruples to gain his own ends. What was Itodo ? It is true that my husband's dressing-room opened out of my bed-room ; but there was no other outlet from it, and the key, more over, was in the bed-room side of the door. So I discarded that idea in despair. Then I thought of sitting up and reading all night; but this, too, would be of no use ; for, even supposing I could keep awake, the ruffian would lose patience, and I would have to face him. Far better, then, to go to bed, stimulate sleep, and trust to Pro.:idenee for the rest. Accordingly I put out the light, and with a beating heart, as I neared the spot-where I knew he was concealed, I crept to bed. To have told me not to go to sleep would have been so much breath wasted, for I never felt less inclination to do so. The flickering of the firelight enabled me to discern the sur rounding objects, while without the inces sant patter of the rain, as it fell from the eaves, seemed to make the silence more oppressive. By degrees I began to breathe a little heavily, and at regular intervals, as one just dropping off to sleep, and I even went so far as to feign to snore. After I had lain like this for what seemed to me hours, but what could not really have been more than twenty minutes, a slight motion behind the curtain told me that at last ray enemy was about to come out. I imme diately closed my eyes; and only just in time, for the next instant I felt that he was bending over me to ascertain whether I was really asleep. "Having assured himself on this point, ho went to the window, opened it and gave a low whistle. Another minute, and a ladder was placed against the sill, and soon a second man was standing by the first. I then perceived that both wore black masks, and I heard the one who just catered ask the other whether the 'old gal' had twigged anything. 'No,' he answered, 'she went to bed as quietly as a new-born lamb.' " "Then let's set to work at once.' "With these words, to my great joy, I saw them goity , c• towards my husband's dressing-room. But I had counted my chickens too soon, for oue of them, turning back, came and flashed the candle before my eyes, as if to convince himself that my sleep was unfeigned. To keep still during this ordeal was most trying; for, had I be trayed the slightest consciousness of his presence, or otherwise moved in the least, it would have been all up with me. Seem ingly satisfied, ho rejoined his companion, and I heard them rifle the plate chest, which had been placed there for greater security, with no unworkman like hands. All at once an idea flashed across my mind —how if by gettine , ' out of bed quietly, I could reach the door, turn the key upon them, and so catch them in a complete trap ? "No sooner thought of than done. Gently I turned back the clothes and glided from the bed As my foot touched the floor the clock was strikin ,, the first strokes of twelve, and I thought I heard, in the far distance, the thud of a horse's gallop. True, it was very faint, and I imagined that, perhaps, after all, my hear ing had deceived me, so I stealthily ad vanced. I was within three steps of the door when I stumbled over a foot-stool I had not noticed. The noise caused the' robbers to look round, and our eyes met. Then came the race for life, for I knew I might expect no mercy at their hands. We were within an equal distance of the door, which, as I before mentioned, locked on my side. I made a rush forward and caught hold of the handle; they, on their side, did the same. Fo'r one moment I thought I was lost; but then, gathering up my remaining strength into one final ef fort, I pulled it to, turned the key, and, with one long scream, fell senseless on the floor. "When I recovered, found myself in the arms of my husband, while a second glance around the room showed me my two visitors in the hands of a policeman. The denouement is easily explained. My husband, upon arriving at his un cle's, found him in the most perfect health, and quite innocent of having sent him any message. Being alarmed at this, he hur ried back, and on his way through the vil lage had got the- constabulary force (which, by the way, consisted of only one man) to accompany him to his house. When within a few paces of it they heard my scream, and, seeing the ladder against the window, had hurried up it. And only just in time, for the robbers were on the point of breaking through the door. It is needless to add that the man hidden in my room was the servant we had dis charged, and who, out of revenge, had planned this robbery with one of his pals. In a fortnight's time they were wanted over the seas, where, I have no doubt, they are still sadly ruminating over the vicissi tudes of human life." Dr the illiou. [From Our New York Correspondent.] Our New York Letter. A Gambling House—Beecher-Tilton—A Charity—Business. NEW YORK, April 3, 1875. THE LAIR OF THE TIGER. Last week I gave some idea of the cost of a grand hotel and the method of run ning it. This week I propose to devote my space to another kind of a resort for way farers—one that costs you more money to tarry in, but which will give you, possibly more excitement than even the best hotel in the great city. On Broadway, near Union Square, is a plain, unpretending house, just such an one as you would suppose a good, solid, retired merchant would live in, were it farther• removed from business. A good, solid, retired merchant does not live in it, however, nor is it a residence at all. It is a faro bank—or, in other words, a gamb ling hell—a place in which young men and old, strangers and residents go, either for gain or excitement, and where they meet ruin just as surely as they stay long enough, and are sufficiently industrious and persevering. The interior of the house belief the ex• terior—that is to say, the inside is as gor geous as the outside is plain. The halls are all beautifully wide, the rooms are all high and spacious, and the furnishing is asung nificent as money can purchase. The read ing room is wonderfully fine. A velvet carpet of Persian design covers the floor. Sill: and lace shade the windows. The most costly upholstery is scattered around. A stand, upon which are placed all the leading daily journals of the country, oc cupies the centre of the floor. At the right of this is the wine room, where you see no liquors, but a gorgeous Ethiopian, elaborately dressed, is in waiting, and all you have to do is to intimate your desire, and, whatever that is, you get it without money or price. Everything is free. Back of the wine-room is the gambling hall, which is more gorgeously furnished than any of the others. Lace curtains, costly carpets, costly pictures, exquisite statuary—everything that is tasteful and beautiful is here. In the centre of the room the tables are ranged. That is a faro table at the right. There is an elevation in the centre, longer than it is wide, upon which are painted some cards of each suit. This is done that you can designate your favorite card without speaking. At every table at which cards are played, all is fixed that the game may move on in silence. Faro is the American gambling game just as monte is Mexican. The next table is fur English hazards; you stake your money on the throw of the dice. Then there is roulette trento et quarante, and any other game that the devil ever invented to cip• ture souls with. You shall see in these rooms men of all ages and conditions. At the faro tables, side by side, will be seen gray-haired men and beardless boys. The gray-haired man has played faro since be was a beardless boy, and has wasted on the game all the fortune he inherited, and all the profits of his business, and all he has begged, bor rowed or stolen since. He believes that he has learned a system by which he can break any bank, and be has been trying to do it thirty years. He plays very low now, for five dollar notes are not easy to get, but his faith is unshaken. He will die some night, and will be carted out to Pot ters's field. But, as long as he can raise ten dollars, and can keep a clean shirt c)l -lar, he is welcome. The beardless boy has just commenced, but he will go the same road. - He will play and play till he robs his father or employer, then ho will either b;coins a professional, and plunder others, or he will degenerate into a perpetual pigeon, and, in time, become a miserable cold man, playing constantly in the hope of retriev ing his fortunes. In addition to these there are a dozen or more country merchants who drop in to lose ten dollars or so for a night's amuse ment, and as many more wealthy New Yorkers, who play because they get up too heavy an excitement at their business during the day to let up without this Co taper off with. At midnight a gorgeous supper is serv• ed, which, like everything else. is free. The dining room and the kitchen below exceed Delmonico's in all that which goes to make their specialties perfection. Veni son from the Adirondacks; birds from the Southern marshes; fish from the lonely woods where rolls the Oregon, which gives no sound but its own plashing, save that made by the fisherman casting in his net; frogs from the pond at the•foot of Wash ington monument. All this is served on daintiest porcelain, freshest linen, purest glass. Waiters black as ebony, and silent as the shades of Hades, move silently on their round of duties. Wines the most costly and cigars the most expensive arc served, and all free as water. The amia ble -proprietor charges nothing—all his profits come from the tables. And how does he get his profits to sus tain this enormous expenditure ? Easy enough. The game is played fairly in the public rooms, but even then there is 25 per cent. in favor of the bank, so that in any event the bank is certain to win every thing if the play is continued long enough. But on the upper floor there is the private game, to which the general public is not admitted. In these rooms the rich young idiot is filled with wine—he is lucky if he be not drugged—he plays against a dealer who can deal the cards exactly as he chooses, and the young man, after he has been nursed sufficiently, is never allowed to go away without losing all that he can afford to pay without making a row about it. They calculate that a young broker with a rich fatker will stand plucking to the amount of $20,000, and they make him lose that amount. He will pay it, as a rule, rather than make a fuss, and be fore he gets sober they take his note. And they have one of this kind on the carpet all the time. These places are excellent good ones to keep out of. No decent man should ever g) into one, even for fun. BEECIIER•TILTON I shall not say much about this matter this time. The fact is, it has got too nasty to be fit matter for the public prints. Each day's proceedings grow nastier and nastier—in brief; is too filthy to touch. Bessie Turner, a girl of eighteen, is put upon the stand, and she talks flippantly of scenes that would disgrace a bagnio, and the prurient people in attendance applaud ,her. Beecher, Tilton, Mrs. Tilton, and the whole party, arc irretrievably ruined, and that is all there is about it. The evi dence shows them all to be either the most lascivious, lecherous persons on the earth, or the most infamous liars that ever did exist. It is curious that the public does not insist upon a stoppage of this filth in some way. It is too bad that the public prints should be filled cloy after day with this horrid stuff. Good peaple. re fuse to read it. What matters it to you which of the lechers is the most guilty'.' A "CHARITY" NCRSERT. While New York's private charities are absolutely magnificent in their extent and management, the public ones are as miser able as thieving Politicians can make them. This is the way a charity nursery is managed, as shown by an investigating committee: Five hundred little children were in a building in which not only had the panes of glass disappeared, hut the sash was also gone, and in one story of the building over NO panes cf glass were broken out. The cold wind filled every room, but could not drive away the smell coming from the bath rooms and closets. The little children in the wards were gen erally huddled together at the lee side of one of the beds, for the purpose of keep ing themselves warm. Their hands were red and swollen, and their far...es blue and pinched with cold. The tax-payers have paid ten times enough to have tii, build ing comfortable, but the money -.vas stolen, and the children are dying four a day. BUSINEsS is imiroving every day, and the pr et brightens. Thank heaven f)r that, ror it has been a long and &nary wait. Mer chants are buying freely, and there are many of them here. The prolpe.et im proves daily. Pirrao. HE SMOKED FOUR TONS OP TOBACCO AND DIED.—Mr. Kalca•, who was known among his acquaintances by the name of the King of Smokers, has jest died near Rotterdam. Ile had erected a mansion, one portion of which was devoted to the arrangement of a collection of Pips, ac cording to their nationality and chronolog ical order. A few days before his death be summoned his lawyer and made his will, in which he directed that all the smokers of the country shou'd be invited to the funeral, and that each should ly! presented with ten pounds of tobacco. and two Dutch pipes of newest fashion, on which should be engraved the name. arm•, and date of the decease of the testator.— He requested all his relatives, friends awl funeral guests to be careful to keep their pipes alight during the funeral ceremonies. after which they should empty the ashes from their pipes on the coffin. The wear of the neighborhood who attended to his last wishes, were to receive annually, on the anniversary of his death, ten pounds of tobacco and a small ca.: of good beer. He desired that his oak coffin should be lined with the cedar of his old llavana ci gar boxes, and that a box of French rap coral and a packet of old Dutch tobacco should be placed at the fmt of his coffin. His favorite pipe was to be placed by his side, along with a box of matches, a diet and steel, and some tinder, as he said there was no knowing what might happen. A correct cslculator has made out that Mr. Kalcas had, during his eighty years oflife, smoked more than four tone of tobacco, and had drank about 500,000 quarts of beer. Tit-Bits Tsken on the Fly.
