Stay ! heard you a footstep coming ? it was

Mother ! there was one, you know him-0 ! I
cannot :Teak that name
You remember how be sought me, how with
tender words he came;
How be gained my young affections, vowing
in love's gentle tone,
That he would forever guard me, were my
heart but his alone.
You remember how I trusted, how my thoughts
were all of him ;
Mother ! draw the curtain higher, for the light
is growing dim,
Need I tell you how he left me, coldly putting
me alde,
How he wooed and won another fairer girl, to
Le his bride.
Life has been a weary burin since those hours
of deepest woe,
Wipe these cold drops from my forehead, they
are death marks, well I know,
Gladly I obey the summons to a brighter, bet

Where no hearts are won and broken, but all
form a holy band.
When these struggles all are over, and you
see me breathe no more,
Do not grieve, but think me waiting for you
on the other shore.
Do not chide him, mother dearest, though you
miss me from your side,
I forgive him, and I wish him joy, with her
so soon his bride.
Take the ring from off the finger, where he
placed it long ago,
Give it to him with the blessing which in

See him waiting to receive me- 2 0! how great

Mother, meet your child in heaven ! One

A COMPANION'S STORY.
BY THE AUTHOR OP ‘`A WOMAN'S WIT,"
"HOW SIZE WON HIM," ETC.
Had I been my own mistress I should
never have s:Tved Marie Rosis. But pov
erty, the need of food and raiment, the
hungry mouths that must Lu filled, were
too strong for me, and I ent.!azcd myself
to her.
"You are poor, L , :uise," she said, with
a slight French accent. "Money is of no
account to me—l only ask you to be faith
ful. I said that I should travel, so you
must supply your brother's and sister's
wants before we gc , . I shall be liberal with
you. Take this."
As sli( spoke, she reafdied out six 'or
eight hali'ea,4l(s. I drew back my hand
"ls it, too much," I said.
"Allow me to be the judge of that. I
know what will be required of you."
A little chill ran over we. What would
be required of me ? I looked up. to see,
if pcssible, what meaning lay hidden be
neath her wordß.
"I bhal travel as fancy pleaFes," he
continued.
"One spot is as pleasant to me as an
other. I go in search of something which
I have lost. It may be here, it may be
there. I have nothing to guide me in my
search. It is all blind chance."
At first I was not happy iu my migra
tory Ho. I used to long for home—or
what had been home—and for the caresses
of those I loved. But this did not last
long. Marie ltosis soon grew to be the
world to me. and I her bond slave.
Sometimes we rested for two or three
weeks from our travels. and then went for
ward, day after day and week after week,
without stopping. I do not know how
long I had been with her, whe.,n I discov
ered that we were not traveling alone—
that we had a follower, who pursued us
from place to place with unwavering per
sistence. He did not seem to be conscious
of us. He never addressed us—he only
followed us like a shadow. •
It was after the stranger came that I
learned what madame was searching for.
A ring that had mysteriously disappeared
from her finger one night while she was
sleeping. A strange ring with a garnet
heart for its centre, all that she had left
of Monsieur ltosis. I glanced at her in
surprise.
"Was it your wedding ring ?"
"Better than that—Monsieur Itosis
gave it to me while he was dying. He
came back to life to give it to me—just as
we turn back when we have forgotten
something."
"He gave it to ine and said that a curse
would follow me if I lost it. I did not
lose it—it went away from me, but I am
not happy, Monsieur ltosis was very
hard."
"But you are nut to blame fur what you
could not help."
"Ah ! but if a lover took it ?" she said,
shaking her head slowly. "I had fallen
asleep in the drawing room—the day was
warm. When I awoke Monsieur's heart
was gone, and the air full of shadows. I
have been searching ever since for it."
She began pacing up and down the
room. We were stopping for a week at a
hotel in a large inland town. This con
versation had been carried on in the par
lor, a long, wide room, looking westward.
As madame walked, I thought I had never
seen her half so beautiful. While she went
to and fro restlessly, the stranger emu"
noiselessly in and walked beside her. She
did not notice him but looked straight ont
of the window to the green trees and be
yond them to the wide sunset.
For myself I grew angry and heated at
the stranger's boldness. If he had any
thing to say to her why did he not speak ?
What right had he to dog her steps so
persistently ? At least I would tell mad
ame. As I started forward to speak, the
strange gentleman raised his hand to his
forehead and I saw something on it that
glowed blood red in the sunlight. I look
ed at it eagerly and saw the shape of a
heart outlined on the slender finger. My
heart bounded. Here was the lover that
had stolen madame's ring. It should be
restored to her, and once more she should
know happiness. Ah, how frightened I
got, though ! While my lips were parted
F,
a
to speak and my hand raached forth to
touch his arm, he was gone, and I t-tood
quite alone with Madame Rosis.
"•Wlhat makes you so white," Ehc asked,
stopping short in her walk..
"Why, lie Las gone!"
"Who has gone ?"
"The gentleman who walked beside
you."
"Indeed, who so honercd me ?" she said
increduously, "I was busy with nty
thoughts." _ _
"A. strange gentlemzni walked widi you
—near you—and as I started toward Lim
he disappeared!'
• Madame laughed a low niu , ,ical laugh,
but I saw that the white hand that clasped
er scarlet mantle over her heart was shak
ing. Her lips grew white and dry.
"I hope he was handsome."
"Very, v, ith a mouth like a girl's."
Her forehead grew puckered into scowls.
"And what else ?"
"He wore a ring with a blood-n;(1 heart !"
I pray that I may never on earth see a
face so tearful as was Madame's at that
moment. I put up a quick prayer, fir I
thought she was about to kill me. She
clutched both bands about my arm atid
held me closely to her.
"How dare you, girl :"
"I could not help seeing him," I said.
"There he is now outside looking in at
the window."
She cowered down at my feet and cov
ered her eyes with my mantle. I do not
know how long I stood there, or how long
she knelt without moving. I know the
figure stood motionless at the window, look
ing at us with steady, unwavering cycs.
Would he never go? Would he hold us
forever with that quiet, unflinching gaze?
At that moment I shrieked, and madame
sprang to her feet. A. crowd came to sec
us, and I fell back fainting.
Iu the morning we started. It was
Summer time, and our way led through
the richest of earth's garden , . Ali was
beautiful from the sky downward—birds,
flowers, fruits, and velvety greensward.—
In spice of everything I was happy.
We will soon have a long resc," said
madame, as we were whirled ak.ng. "You
shall bear from the brother and sister at
home."
I was looking out of the ;1i idow a; she
slioke. As I turned my face toward hcr,
P,felt some one touch my shoulder. I
turned quickly. The stranger was sittiug
near us in the train.
liis presence Eeemed so real to me that
lepoke out angrily :
"If you please, sit—"
' Madame looked around.
I"To whom arc you speaking, Louise ?"
I knew, then, that whatever I saw,
whether man or evil one, Madame' Rosis
was conscious of nothing. I looked over
the face—at the blue eyes and gentle mouth,
down at the white hands and red ring with•
°Eft a word.
'Monsieur Rosis," I thought. "But
4y decs he follow madame ?"
IVe rode the day through with the fair,
immovable fii,nre beside in and the doctor
is the upxt carriage. The one seemed to
counteract the i7..titte.nce of the other.—
Nothing could harm me.
At night we came to our resting place.
"Here we shall find the ring !" said
madame, as we hurried out of the train
"It is like an inspiration. I feel it through
and through."
We did not go to a hotel, hut to a house
near the outskirts of the town. I know
the coachman of the fly stared at madame
when she told him where to drive us. The
night was very dark. Lo skint round EAr
my friend, I could not see him, and I
thought I was lost.
Warm as was the night, the place to
which we went was chilly. Madame bad
tires wade iu the grates and ordered wine
to be brought.
"Where arc we ?" I asked.
"Pardon me for not saying. This is
my home. No one dare intrude here."
No one ? Was madame so sure ? As
she spoke the pleasant faced stranger, ghost
or man, came noiselessly in, and sat down
by the fire. He wore the same expression
as when I had first seen him. Glancing
at his hand, I saw the blood red ring grow
ing upon his finger.
"You do not drink;" madame said, as I
sat holding the wine glass. "What is it ?"
I 'Put down the glass with a shudder.
"Madame Rosh, I want to go home."
"This is your home. By day it is beau
tiful. To-night I know there are shadows
—and it is cold. We can have more fire."
"That is not it—l want my sister. I
seem to be stifling here."
"Well, well—l will play to you. I will
sing."
She threw open the piano. Good heavens,
what a wail came from it as her delicate
fingers ran up and down the keys. Wild
unrest, a g ony, despair, found voice in the
melody which she awakened. Then her
little hands pattered softly down, and her
voice broke out softly to the weird accom
paniment. Through it all I could hear
the falling of ghostly feet; the whispers
from shadowy lips. The stranger listened
at her side; so close was his face to hers,
that in an unsteady light they seemed to
mingle and waver together. .
Where was I ? The atmosphere was
like that of a tomb ! Was I among flesh
and-blood realities, or had I been drawn
into the charnel house to expiate some sin
which I had committed ! Sin, indeed !
what did I know about sin ?
"Don't madame—don't !" I cried ! "You
are driving me mad I Let me go—in the
name of mercy, let me go !'
"Yuu need rest," spoke the madame.—
"You are nervous. You shall ga to your
room and have supper there."
She led me like a child. What could I
do?
Up stairs it was more cheerful. The fire
was fresh and the lamps gave out a clear,
steady light. I drew a sigh of relief.
"You like it ?" said madame.
"Ilow can I help it ?"
"I am glad. My room is oppasite. In
the night if you are awakened you can
come to me. But I think you will sleep.
I will send your supper to you in a mo
ment."
I did not wait for supper. Thoroughly
exhausted, bidily and mentally, I sank
upon the bed. I did not know how long
I slept. I started up suddenly from my
pillow, a fearful shriek entering through
my brain. It was madame's voice that
aroused. In a moment there was a sound
of hurried feet in the lull, a murmur of
strange voices, and some one threw open
the door opposite mine. I stole softly out,
and crossed the hall to madame's room.—
There was a group of strange people stand
ing by her bedside.
A voice said, "She is dead "
"What is it—what killed her ?" I asked.
"I do not know. Probably her heart
was diseased. Some sudden fright did it.
The detectives have been oa her track fur
weeks."
"The detectives ? Wby ?"

EDITOR. JOURNAL—Dear : —Some
weeks ago an article appeared in the JOUR
NAL .signed "Civis," exposing the bad con
duct of certain young men and women in
the ears on their way home from camp on
the last night of the meeting. Since that
I have read two articles in te Muni:or by
"Veritas" censuring "Civis" for thus ex
posing the bad conduct cf those young
men and women, quoting scripture to prove
that it was contrary to the teachings of the
11;ble. Now as there s„letns to be two sides
to this question, I ask the liberty, through
your excellent paper, to give my opinion
in as few words as possible. I was on the
train on the night referred to, and must
say that "Civis," i 1 describing the belytv
ic,ur of those young men and women, did
not over r.lte it, indeed I might say "the
half was never told." I have traveled many
miles by railroad in the east, and ou the
frontiers of the far west, where many of
the people are said to be uncivilized, yet
never did I witness such conduct on cars
or any where else, and God forbid that I
should ever witness such conduct again.
If a daughter of mine had been on the
train I would have wanted the conductor
to stop the train and let her off before we
reached the first station. We say "Civis"
done right in exposing this conduct, and
thank him for it, and we do think that the
person who would not feel like doing so,
is lost to every sense of decency and pro
priety, to say nothing about christianity.
And we further say, without fear of suc
cessful contradiction, that the Bible justi
fies us in exposing evil wherever we find
it. If it did not we would have no account
of Lot's drunkenness and the disgrace he
thus brought on himself and some of his
family. The sin of David in the Case of
ljriah, and many others that we might
name. The 13ibic never concealed or cov
ered up the had conduct of any, r,nd flume
ircoril as an exam
ple for us to follow. And when we come
down to the new dispensation - we hear Paul
s..ty to a much better behaved person than
thosa mentioned above, "0 full of all sub
fifty and ail mischief, thou child Of the
devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt
thou not cease to pervert the right ways
of the Lird ?"
In conclusion, I would repeat that I
think "Civis" done right in exposing this
shatueful conduct, and no one has a right
to judge his motives—as "Veritas" done.
I have ever been friendly to the Methodist
church, have enjoyed sweet communion.
with them at campineeting and in their
churches at home. I have not a word to
say against them or their campmeetings,
but merely feel like reproving sin where
ever I find it. I have a good mother up
in Heaven who taught me when a little
boy to be orderly at religious meetings,
and ou my way to and from the same,
and although more than sixty winters have
silvered my brow I have never forgotten
that early training, and during all this
time have been active in trying to keep
order at, to, and from religious worship,
and if I would fail to do so now, i would
not be true to that dear mother whom I
expect shortly to meet in that land "where
the wicked c !me from troubling and the
weary are at rest," and what would be
still worse, I would not be true to my
God.
Anxiety,
Anxiety does no good. It never paid a
debt, or healed a malady, or prevented an
accident. "Surely they are disquieted iu
vain." Our Lord put this impressively
in His sermon on the mount : "Which of
you, by taking thought, can add one cubit
unto his stature ? The conduct of David
on a certain memorable occasion was ad
mirable in this respect. When his favor
ite son was ill he fasted and lay all night
upon the earth. No doubt that fasting
was accompanied by earnest prayer to the
Great Disposer of events. But when the
babe had died he arose, washed himself
and changed his garments, commanded
meat to be set before him, and went into
the house of the Lord. Mark his words :
"Wherefore should I fast ? Can I bring
back again !" Let us remember those
words when we are tempted to repine over
the inevitable. "Be careful for nothing,"
your anxiety is profitless. Nor is that all.
There is a negative side to the evil.
Anxiety does much harm. We talk
about fretting, but what does the word
mean ? Ori2inally it meantto fray, to wear
out. Our forefathers spoke of a garment
which had become threadbare and full of
holes as fretted. And be sure of it, to
fret and worry about things is to wear out
the mind. People speak sometimes of
men being worked to death. Be skeptical
about that, such suicides are extremely
rare. It is not work, but worry that kills.
Activity injures none, anxiety hurts thous
aude. Nothing incapacitates us for duty
more than care ; it saps our energies and
undermines our strength. Sir Walter
Scott was a prodigious worker and his in
dustry never harmed him, but when the
great calamity came by which he lost his
property and was involved in fearful pe
cuniary liabilities, his anxiety brought on
paraly-is, and premature death followed.
AT this period of the year, a voice steals
at early morn through the key-hole of the
domestic chamber : "Mary Jane, get up
and fix the fire ;" and a prompt and cheer
ful echo responds, "I'll see you dodretted
first, and then I wont, you old brute."
Such are the celestial harmonies of domes
tic life.
-
Now is a good time to buy thermom
eters. They are lower now than they have
been since last' spring.
A bny not over eleven years old, whose
pinched face betrayed hanger, and whose
cuthing could hardly be called by the
name, dropped into a carpenter shop on
Grand River avenue the other day, and
after much hesitation explained to the fore
man—
"We want to get a graveboard for ma.
She died last winter, and the graves are
so thick that we can hardly find hers no
more. We went up last Sunday, and we
came awful near not finding it. We
thought we'd get a graveboard, so we
wouldn't lose the grave. When we thought
wt'd lost it, ack he cried and Bud she
cried, and my chin trembled FO I could
hardly talk."
"iirher , _ , is your Zither ?" asked the car.
peuter.
_ . . .
Oh, he's home, but be never goes up
there with uq, and we shan't tell him about
the board. I guess he hated ma, ffir he
wasn't home when she died, and he
wouldn't buy no coffin nor nothin.' Some
times when we are sittin' on the doorsteps
talking about her, and Jack and Bud are
cryin', and I am rememberin' how she
kissed us all afore she died, he says we'd
better quit that or we'll get what's bad for
us. But we sleep up stairs, and we talk
and cry in the dark all we want to. flow
much will the board be?"
The carpenter selected something fit I:)r
the purpose and asked--
"Who will put it up at the grave ?"
We'll take it upon our cart," replied
the boy, "and I guess the graveyard man
will help us put it up."
"You want the name painted on, don't
you ?"
"Yes, sir, we want the board white, and
then we want you to paint on that she was
our ma, and that stie was forty one years
old, and that she died on the second of
of November, and that she's gone to heav
en, and that she was one of the best moth
ers ever was, and that we are going to be
good all our lives and go up where she is
when we die. How much will it cost, sir ?"
"How much have you got !"
"Well," said the boy, as he brought out
a little calico bag, and emptied its contents
on the bench, "Bud drawed the baby for
the woman next door and earned twenty
cents; Jack he weeded in the garden and
earned forty cents, and he found five more
in the road ; I run errands and make kites
and fixed a boy's cart and helped carry
some apples into a store, and I earned
sixty-five cents. All that makes a hundred
and thirty cents, sir, and pa, don't know
we've got it, 'cause we kept it hid in the
ground under a stone."
The carpenter meant to be liberal, but
he said—
"A graveboard will cost at least $3."
The lad looked up from his little store
of metals to the carpenter and back, and
realized how many weary weeks bad passed
since the first penny was earned andsaved,
and suddenly wailed out—
" Then we can't never, never buy one,
and mother's grave will get lost."
But he left iho shop with tears of glad
ness in his eyes, and when he returned
yesterday, little Bud and Jack were with
him, and they had a cart. There was not
only a headboard, but one for the foot of
the grave as well ; and painter and car
penter had done their work with full
hearts, and done it well.
"Ain't it awful nice ?—nicer than rich
folks have," whispered the children, as the
boards were being placed on the cart;
won't the grave look nice, though, and
won't ma be awful glad ?"
Ere this the mother's grave has -been
marked, and when night comes the three
motherless ones will cuddle close together
and whisper their gratitude that it cannot
be lost to them even to the storms and
drifts of winter.
There is a touch of pathos about doing
even the simplest thing 'for the last time.'
It is not alone kissing the dead that gives
us this strange pain. You feel it when
you have looked your last time upon some
scene you have loved—when you stand in
some quiet city street where you know
that you will never stand again. The ac
tor playing his part for the last time ; the
singer, whose voice is cracked hopelessly,
and who after this once will never stand
before the sea of upturned faces, disputing
the plaudits with the fresher voices and
fairer forms; the minister who has preach
ed his last sermon—these all know the
hidden bitterness of the two words, "nev
er again." How they come to us on our
birthdays as we grow older. Never again
young—always nearer and nearer to the
very last, the end which his universal,
"the last thing which shall follow all last
things, and turn them, let us hope, from
pains to joys." We put away our boyish
toys with an odd heartache; we are too
old to walk any longer on our stilts, too
tall to play marbles on the sidewalks. Yet
there was a pang wl en we thought we 1 a I
played with our merry thoughts for the
last time and lif'e's serious grown up work
was waiting for us. Now we do not want
the lost toys back ; life has other and larg
er playthings for us. May it not be these,
too, shall tieem in the light of some far-off
days as the boyish games seem to our
manhood, and we shall learn that death is
but the opening of the gate into the new
land of promise ?

Few of the persons who handle Bank of
England notes ever think of the amount
of labor and ingenuity that is expended on
their production. According to official
report these uotts are made from pure
linen cutting?, never from rags that have
been worn. They have been manufactured
for nearly 200 years by the same family,
the Portals, Protestant refugees. So care
fully is the paper prepared that even the
number of dips into the pulp made by
each workman is registered on a dial by
machinery, and the sheets are carefully
counted and booked to each person through
whose hands they pass. The printing is
done by a mcst curious process in Mr.
Coe's department within the bank build
ing. There is an elaborate arrangement
for securing that no note shall be exactly
like any other in existence. Consequently
there never was a duplicate of a Bank of
England note, except by forgery. The
stock of paid notes of seven years is about
91,000,000 in number, and they fill 18,-
000 boxes, which if placed side by side,
would reach three miles. The notes placed
in a pile, would be eight miles high ; or,
if joined end to end, would form a ribbon
15,000 miles long; their superficial ex
tent is more than that of Hyde Park ;
their original value was over $15,000,-
000,000, and their weight over 112 tons.
