The Last ',Milestones.
ixty years, throa Ai shine and shadow—
Sixty years, my gentle wife,
You and f hav,.= walked togeth.r,
Down the rugged path of life.
From the hills of Spring we started,
And through all the Summer land,
And the fruitful Autotnn country,
We have j.)urneNed hand in hand.
We have borne the heat and burden,
Toiting painfully and slow ;
We have gathered in our ha-vest,
With rejoicing long ago
Lea rethe uplands for our children,
They are strong to sow and reap;
Through the quiet Winter low.ands,
We our level way will keep.
'Tis a dreary country. dariing,
You and I are passing through;
But the road lies straight before us,
And the miles are short and few.
No more dangers to encounter—
No more hills to climb, true friend
Nothing now but simple walking,
Till we reach our journey's end.
We have had our time of gladness,
'Twas a proud, a happy day,
Ab ! the proudest of our journey,
When we felt that we could say,
"Of the children God has given."
Looking fondly on the ten.
'Lovely women are our daughters,
And our son: are noble men."
We have had our tune of sorrow;
A Ted our time of ansions fears,
When we could not see the mile tones,
Through the blindness of our tears.
To the sunny t-_:ginn3er country,
Far behind us, little May,
And our Willie. too, grew weary,
And we left them on the way.
Are you looking backward, mother,
That you stumble in the snow ?
I am still sour pude and staff, dear;
Lean your weight upon me—so !
Now our road is growing narrow ;
And, what is it, wife, you say ?
Yes? I know our eyes are dim, dear;
But we have not lost the way.
Cheer thee! cheer thee ! faithful-hearted!
Just a little way before,
Lies the great Eternal City
Of the King that we adore.
I can see the shining spires;
And the IZiug, the King, my dear,
We have served Him long and humbly;
lie will bless us, do not fear.
'Oh! the snow falls. fast and heavy;
How you shiver with the cold;
Let. we wrap your mantle closer,
And my arm around you ford.
IVe are weak, and faint, and weary,
And the sun's low in the west;
We have retched the gates, my darling,
Let us tarry here, and rest.
Et•toq-Eciter.
FROM THE TOMB.
OD All Saints' eve, Iwo centuries ago, a
well dressedtratiger ' but pale and thin.
st.pped at an inn in Schweidnets He was
cordially received by the host and ht,stess,
and shown to the best apartments. In the
room below, at the supper table, sat a num
ber of burghers disco-sing public affairs.
In the kitchen, on a ktone bench, sat a
young and beautiful girl. Her dress was
of coarse serge. and ill fitted, but her grace
ful form and face shaded by a profusion of
brown ringlets, would have adorned tire
highest sphere. tier spinning wheel stood
idle befire her, as she was absorbed in
thought, and tears slid slowly down her
pale cheek. A young man, of handsome
face and figure, entered, and leaning over
her affectionately, whispered : "In tears
again, Margaret. Look up, sweet one;
there is no cause for grief; I will speak to
my parents to night."
"Oh, no !do not, Franz! Thy father
will curse thee, and thy mother will not
pardon thy secret marriage. Be silent till
I am dead."
"No, Margaret," said Franz, "I cannot.
I have met with good fortune. lam no
longer dependent on my father. The
count, to whom the great forest of W
belongs, is in want of a forester. He is
pleased with me, and has given me the
place."
".A.h, my husband, I would gladly re
joice with th ee; but have not thy parents
often repr-aeh ed me with my mean birth.
as well as my p:tvetty They shall never
know I am thy wife until they are willing
to receive me as web." .
Just then the do, , r opened, and Franz's
mother entered. .`ke confusion of both
did not escape the dam e's notice.
"Shameless girl T." she exclaimel, "wilt
thou persist in talking w.'th my son as if
thou wert his equal ? Wouldst thou en
trap the heir of all me have to wed thee?"
"Spare me ! spare me !" cried the poor
girl.
"Franz shall wed no damsel who cannot
bring him a dower of a hundred gold pieties.
Swear to me that thou wilt bold no dis
course with him till thou canst b.-ing we
such a sum as thine own, or begs ne this
instant."
"I swear !"
The hostess became less severe, and in a
softer tone replied : "I trust thee. Thou
halt in truth a good heart, and art a brave
girl, but the poor must not aspire to the
rich, nor one born in shame to the son of
honest parents."
Margaret hastened to her own chamber,
.vhere she wept a long while. The stranger,
meanwhile, joined the company in the
dining ball. The burghers readily gave
him a place at the upper end of the table.
Margaret soon after entered, bearing wine
He looked at her earnestly, and inquired
her nnne. She answered him with modest
grace
A conversation in a low tone had been
going on between two citizens. "Have
you really belief in this ?" asked one.-
-Certainly," replied the other "I have
heard of several who have seen the specter
in times past " The stranger caught the
story, and inquired about the specter, to
which the burgher answered respectfully :
••It is a rumor sir, that puzzles our towns
folks. There is in the churchyard an an
client tomb, vaulted as they were in former
times, and so defaced that the inscription
cannot be read'. None, therefore, knew
who lies there. For 3 ears it has been re
ported that on the eve of certain holidays
the dead man forsakes his tomb and walks
about the burial ground. The present
sexton told me but a short time since, that
when he opened the tomb to deposit there
in another corpse, be received a blow from
an invisible hand, hard as if given by a
skeleton, that felled him to the ground,
and that a voice at the same time whis
pered, 'Bring no one here until I myself
can lie down in the grave in peace.' The
sexton was naturally overcome with terror.
The specter walks at midnight, but only
on the eve of some holiday. But any time
one may see the bleached skeleton through
the open door of the tomb. They say the
earth will not cover the accursed bones,
because the dead man left unexpiated some
fearful crime "
"A strange tale !" observed the stranger.
"Were I not feeble, and the night raw and
cold, I would visit the spot this night my
self. As a I am anxious to know
the truth. I will amply reward any one
who will go and bring me a token that he
had actually been at the place I would
tint scruple to give one hundred gold
pieces:
- To everybody's surprise, Margaret., timid
and trt-mbling. came forward
"I am ready, sir," she said,
the ••um you promise."
"You—a delicate girl—and at mid
night !" exclaimed the physician
"Yes," she answered resolutely ; "I
am in need of that sum. What shall I
bring as a token ?"
The stranger drew a gold ring from hi,
finger and said "Put this on the skele
ton's finger. In the morning I will send
and see if it is there. If I find you have
told me the truth, the one hundred pieces
will be sours."
Franz was not present, or Margaret's
plan might have been frustrated. She left
the room, wrapped herself in a cloak, and
walked with rapid steps toward the church
yard.
* * * *
Not until Margaret was in the burial
ground. and near the end of her walk, did
her resolution begin to give way. She
stood now close by the dilapidated tomb.
The stones had fallen away from the en
trance so that the vault within was quite
exposed. The pale moonlight fell through
the wide gaps above and gleamed on the
white h , nes of the skeleton. di-tioetly seon
as it lay upon the ground Marpret
trembled violently ; she was obliged to lean
again 4, the tomb for support, and a shad
der came over her as she touched the chilly
stones. By a strong effort she composed
herself, pushed aside the rubbish and en
rered the tomb. Ano , her moment, an.l
she had slipped the ring on the finger of
the skeleton. But she overtasked her
courage, and she suddenly gave way to a
wild, indefinite terror. She strove to fiy
from the spot, but bad scarcely come forth
from the tomb when she fell to the ground
insensible. After some moments she was
aroused to consciousness by hearing the
dull, heavy tones of the bell striking 12.
She rose slowly and looked around her.
and to her amazement and terror she saw
the skeleton standing beside her She
seemed upheld by a supernatural strength.
It came nearer; tha heavy arm locked its
self in hers.
"Depart, in the saint's name !" she ex
claimed at length. _ _
A low, hollow voice answered: "I can
not; I will never leave thee till thou bast
obtained my f ,, rgiveness "
•'ForgivenesN:—of whom ?"
"Of yonder woman."
Margaret's eyes followed the direction
indicated; and, indeed, at a short distance,
on a grave unmarked by any monument,
she , aw a femk,figure I.itting. The white
draper) of the-r-tonib shrouded htq. form ;
her face was Wrapped in a kerchief that
covered her eyes, leaving only the deathly
cheeks and mirble lips exposed. Toward
this spot the young girl felt herself drag
ged, with a force she could not resist. by
the skeleton arm that grasped hers
"Forgive him," she murmured faintly
The apparition shook her head solemnly
and sternly
"Forgive him for my sake," cried 3.llr
garet, more earnestly. "He will not let
me c o till I have obtained thy pardon !"
Again the specter shook her head. The
poor girl wrung her hands in despair.—
With all the energy of passionate feeling,
she made one more appeal : "Forgive him
for the sake of the child I am to bear !"
The apparation slowly bowed her head,
and the words, "He is forgiven !" came
from the motionless lips. The arm of the
young girl was suddenly released. The
scene vanished from before her eyes ; a
faintness came over her, and she sank once
more to the ground.
Meanwhile the guests at the inn sat in
expectation of the young girl's return.—
The physician was talking privately with
the host, making carnet inquiries concern
ing some person. _ _ _
"If he be the persrm I mean," said he,
"it is the j-iner, Hallerbach, who formerly
lived in Breslau. For some Sears, as E.
have learned he has resided in this neigh
borhood To see him is the object of my
present journey."
"It will be easily accomplished. The
man lives scarce a mile hence. Margaret
can give you every information about him ;
for she was brought up by him as his
daughter "
"low old is she ?" asked the physician.
"Nineteen," interposed the hostess, "on
St. Michael's day."
"It is the same 1" exelaimed the stranger.
"Where—where is she ?"
"She is the young girl who went forth
just now to the churchyard "
The physician started up, seemed to gasp
for breath, then sank back in his seat. At
this moment Franz entered, and asked for
Margaret. Several of the company in
formed him whither she had gone.
"To the churchyard and alone, at this
hour !" he exclaimed. Without another
word he rushed from the house.
"Stop my son he is mad !" shrieked the
hovess:
"A thousand guilders to any one who
will bring her back in safety !" cried the
stranger. He had gone a few paces to
ward the door, but looked so pale and wild
th..a those around forced him back to his
seat.. They refused to release him, in spite
of his struggles, fur a suspicion of his in
sanity at once entered the minds of all
pri sent. several minutes elapsed before
quiet was restored. The stranger's expla
nation of his singular behavior satisfied
every cne.
At the age of thirty he had been the
family physician of a rich Bohemian count.
The count had a beautiful daughter; she
loved and was loved by the physician ; was
secretly married to him, and fled with him
from her father's displeasure. The lovers
went to Bresslan under au assumed name,
and lived for some time quietly in the
house of the joiner Hallerbach. Here the
young wife gave birth to a daughter and
died in the same hour. In the midst of his
grief the young physician learned that the
count had information of his retreat, and
found it necessary to leave the country.—
The father went into Italy. There he
succeeded so well that he ere long obtained
a lucrative situation in the service of a
nobleman of high rank.
Why did he not return to Germany to
reclaim his child ? Many obstacles inter l i
posed; he had, besides, no certain iotel
ligence that she yet lived. The jourley,
which he purposed some time to make, was
delayed year after year; and of late a long
continuance of ill health had unfitted hint
for travel. It was only within a month
that he had been able to accompliA whit
had, in the absence of other tie,, become
the wish of his life. He arrived at Bres
lan; learned there whither Hallerbach had
removed, and followed him. The wan
must have betrayed the trust reposed in
haul, or never would his daughter have
been reduced to a condition of servitude.
"He has indeed done that !" answered
the hist -The poor girl had but a
wretched home with him. And he told
me, when she was placid with us as a
serving maid, that she was the deughter of
an advocate lone Fiore dead."
The - straneer ertaned e. heird this.
Meanwhile. two or throt (d' the burghers
had :rime out with the intention efuarch
jag fir the urissing, girl. They reture.ed
in a few moments with Frenz, who sup
ported in his arms the lifeless firm" of
Margaret. The young .gi , l soon revived.
and looked bewildered around The stranger
who had hung over her in speechless emo
tion, exclaimed :
'.lt is—it i.4—my lost child and he
clasped her in his arms.
The my.tery on bath sides was seen ex
plained Margaret had been found by her
half frantic liver on the spot where she
had fallen, and still lay insensible. She was
identified, not only by a strong resemblance
of feature, but also by the confession of
the guilty Hallerbach himself, as the
daughter of the physician.
Her simple story of love was soon told,
and the young. man Franz was proudly ac
knowledged as her husband by the grate
ful father. Dame Martha, when she Mond
the poor girl to be the lawful (laughter
and heiress of a wealthy man, was as well

Vict)ria's Crown.
As described by her inaj,.sty's mineral
ogist, the crown of England's queen is
quite a bauble It was made by Messrs.
Ronda & Bridge in 1838, with jewels
taken from old crowns, and furnished by
command of her majesty. It consists of
diamonds, pearls, rubies, sapphires and
emeralds, set in silver and gold; it has a
ciinison with ermine Ir)rder,

in front of the crown is a large sapphire—
par ly drilled—purchased for the crown by
his majesty, Kieg George IV. At the
back is a sapphire of smaller size, and six
other sapphires—three on cash side—be
tween which are eight emeralds Above
and below the i-evei, sapphires are four teen

the sapphires are sixteen trefoil oroaments.
containing 169 diamonds. Above the band
are eight sapphires surmounted by eight
diamonds, between which are eight fes

front of the crown, and in the centre of a
diamond Maltese cross, is the famou , ruby
said to have been given to Edward 111.,
called the black prince, by Don Pedro,
king of Castile, after the battle of Vabora
near Vittorio, A. D., 1867. This ruby was
worn in the helmet of Henry V., at the
battle of Agincourt, A. D., 1415. It is
pierced quite through, after the Eastern
custom, the upper part of the piercing be

ruby, in order to torm the cross, are sev

Magest crosses, forming the two sides and
back of the crown, have emerald centres,
and contain respectively 13,123 and 130

containing fifty-four rose diamonds and
one table diamond. The total number of

Romance of Spring.
It is moonlight on the Hid. From out
the trees a gentle zephyr creeps to rub the
hyacinth of its perfumed breath, and adown

robed old man bends above a chained dog
and soothes his too ewer spirits as he
loosens the collar. A ' low voice says,
"S cc-ceck him, Bull—take a short cut
round the rose bush." A flash, and the
old man is alone. The clatter of a fallen
guitar comes from the front ; a sound like
the rush of a steeple chase nearing a hedge
is borne back, and neck and neck two
figures cross the picket fence and disappear
down the dim perspective of the deserted
street. Then the old man meets Bull as
he returns on the outer walk, and removes
in a discouraged manner a dark object from
his foaming mouth, while the animal re
tiros to the kernel. The door opens and
shuts upon the white-robed form. and all
is still again. But as he gets in bed and
shoves the old lady's feet out of the warm
place, he mutters : "Bull is ge , ting old.

Hard-Headed People.
The hard-headed man is almost invaria
bly successful. "Luck," he says. "There's
no such thing as luck. I simply took no
steps backward." But the truth is that
Fate gave him in his cradle sharper sight
and a cooler brain than the rest of and
he has been cooling and sharpening them
ever since No nurse could frighten them
with bugaboos or the dark ; and no clergy
' man's talk of remorse or the judgment day
affects him now. He has never done wrong,
why should he be afraid ? Nobody ever
mistook his character He was known as
a "long-headed fellow" when he played
"mumble the peg and wore peticoats. His
father never romped with him; and his
mother, telling the dear old Bible stories,
stammered when she clught his keen, in
credulous eye. Angels, she remembered,
did seem so very unlikely after all, when
one lookei at things in a common sense
way, and as for the old heroes and martyrs
she was ashamed to let him see the glow
of soul with which she thought of them.
Could they have really found no more
practical method of introducing the gospel
than by going through the rack and fire ?
He was a cynical little doubter as a boy,
but now, as a man, he is well known as a
Christian to all his customers, and as a
tradesman to all Christians Not that he
is a hypocrite. But he prefers church
going people as patrons; they pay their
bills promptly. And he thinks that the
Christian religion teaches sound business
principles. It is honesty that wins in the
long run in the market; and it is the fair
dealer whose profits are the biggest He
is so successful a man that the public al
ways give him credit either for genius or
luck ; but he has neither the one or the
other. He simply knows the market, and
has no higher aim than to please it. If he
is a tradesman, he catches the farthest
glimpse of the coming whim of fashion and
fills his shop with it. If he is an author,
his are the "made" books, which nobody
can do without ; his pictures, if he has
given himself to art, are those popular
studies, babies and young mothers at pray
er which are first marked "sold" in exhi
bition rooms. If be has devoted his life
to science he seizes the crude invention of
some visionary fellow, gives it a practical
use, patents it, and makes his fortune.
If he is a physician, be iralways at hand
as an expert on trials ; you will seldom
miss his name out of the papers. If he is
a clergyman, he is always master of the
sensation of the hour, ready to preach
upon any subject upon which the public
has temporarily gone mad. It really does
not matter to him where the horse goes,
so that he sits astride it. Other men, in
short, tumble sometimes upon good fortune
hiding in the field; be lies in wait for it,
catches it when it is fattest. He knows
how to bide his time; he is /e chat qui dort
If he happens not to be a man but a
woman, you usually find this shrewd hard
headed eittz..n a thin lipped. pale-eyed
leader of the "best society," whether fast
and fashionable or sternly pious, depends
altogether upon the accident of her posi•
tion She is usually, however, so immac
ulate es to. her own morals as to have no
mercy fur any shortcomings in others. The
New Testiment system of charity, in her
opinion, is crude and lax. If she had been
there she would have given the man beset
by thieves a ticket for work to a ward mom
mittee, instead of oil and wine; and she
would have handed the Magdalene over to
a policeman, to make sure that she sinned
no more. This lady is always known as a
capital manager of servants, seamstresses,
church suppers or sons' wives She can
get an incredible amount of work for small
wages out of the people in her kitchen.
Her neighbors (easy, thriftless creatures,
to her mind) look on with envy. Neither
she nor her mescaline congener has at
heart the slightest faith in any man or
woman bat themselves. It is they wbo
can lay an unerring finger on the one black
spot of charac , er which your friend keeps
hidden, be it freckle or blood-stain. They
know humam nature You shall not hum
bug them.
The possessions of wealth, of' pulic es
teem, and of ideas of this hard headed cit
izen are all so substantial that he is the
man whom the world always envies most.
It does not love him probably half so
much as some luckless, lovable, sinful Laz
arus starving at his gate, who had not the
crumbs from the rich man's table here,
and is not at all sure of Abraham's bosom
hereafter. But what of that ? He has
been shrewd, rational, practical. He has
sought solid goods in the world ; money,
influence, respect—and he has gained them.
As for the vague cloudy world of love,
friendship, imagination, he knows nothing
about it; he has invested nothing in
. it
and he expects no dividends. His neigh
bor, a widow in rusty black (one of the
easy, irrational sort), gave all of her labor
and thoughts to a sickly husband and son,
who are now both dead. What provident
folly that was ! Now, the most real things
in the world to her are the love they gave
her, the heaven to which they are gone,
the God who cares for her and them. He
listens to her as to a dying man who bab
bles of green fields that live only in
his fevered fhney. God and heaven and
love are to him only poetic names .
Perhaps as he nears the ends, the with
ered little atom of a heart in him stirs
feebly and craves a late tenderness from
some one, a sou, or more often a grandchild.
It is not often given. It is not for love he
worked. Then, one day, he lies down in
the middle of his solid goods and goes out.
They are all left, but he is gone. His
hands yonder must be quite empty. fiis
forlorn little neighb.r is g-ne too; but
people talk with a smile of the home which

THERE is one thing on which a husband

and that is on what constitutes a well
beaten carpet. When the article is clean
it's a man's impression that it should be
removed, and he be allowed to wash up
and quietly retire. But a woman's appe
tire for carpet-beating is never appeased
while a man has a whole muscle in his
body. And if he waited until she volun
tarily gave the signal to stop he might beat
away until he dropped down dead. It is
directly owing to his superior strength of
mind that the civilized world is not a
widow this day.

Literary Notes.
Harper'. Magazine for May presents an unusu
al variety of entertaing matter, and is full of
beautiful illustrations. The novelty of the Num
ber is striking. The opening article, by Henry
J. Van Dyke, Jr., takes us to the Red River Val
ley and across the border into Manitoba. The
resources end the icturezque features of the
o.untry and its peculiar people (including the
Mennonite immigrants) furnish entirely fresh
pictures for pen and pencil; and, in the use of the
latter, Mr W. S. Macy, the artist, hac been very
efficient.
Mrs. Li second paper on "Music and Mu
sicians in England" is, in every page of it, a
revelation of phases of English social life unfa
miliar to the majority of American readers. The
social side of English musical life has furnished
Mr. Abbey with motives for a number of delight
ful drawings, engraved for this article. In addi
tion to these, this artist has also contributed to
this Number a charming illustration of Robert
Herrick's poem "On Chloris Walkinge in Ye
Snows."
Less picturesque, perhaps, but quite as novel,
are the descriptions, by the late James W. Milner,
of the fisheries and fishermen on our Middle
Atlantis coast (from Chesapeake Bay to Albemarle
sound), with excellent illustrations.
Mrs. Treat contributes a second paper of her
"Home Studies of Nature," full of interest, and
beautifully illustrated by J. C. Beard.
The paper on the Metropolitan Museum of New
York is very timely, in connection with the re
cent removal of this institution to its permanent
location in Central Park. Among the illustrations
besides pictures of the building (exterior and
interior), are engravings from some of the most
remarkable paintings in the Art Gallery of the
Museum.
Mrs. Lizzie W. Cbampney contributes s quaint
short story, entitled "Salgatos Condits," illustra

Blackmore's "Mary Anerley"—are continued;
Among the solid articles are Edward Cary's

of "Leedle Yawcob Strauss."
St. Nicholas for May opens with an important

by Edgar Fawcett; "The Boy and the Giant," a
Bible story retold by Susan Coolidge; "Sally's

Zogbaum; "Two More of the M jor's Big-talk
Stories," being a sort of modern Munehansen
adventures in the desert of Sebara, with comical
and spirited illustrations; and "A Term at the
District School," from a girl-scholar's point of
view.
There are two Natural History articles : "The
Story of Lizbeth and the 'Baby,'" an account of
horned lizards, with pictures from life by F. S.
Church; and "Curious Facts Concerning Ants,"

of some wonderful tricks and feast by indoo
jugglers. "A. D. 1695° explains, with the aid of
pictures, an interesting piece of history, "How
to Care for the Sick" is a practical article, giving
young folks clear and safe advice concerning
nursing, how to act and what to do in a sick room.
There are, besides, an out-door poem by Lucy
Larcom; a humorous piece on "Ancient History,"
by Margaret Vandegrift, with illustrations by E.
B. Ben:ell; some funny pictures by L. Hopkins;
and two drawings by Addie Ledyard.

The May Wide Awake is sown as thick with
pictures as the spring waysides are with dande
lions. The opening story, one of Sophie May's
best, "The Twin Cousins," has thre.' illustrations,
and Miss Lathbury's "spring Snow Storm" is the
most charming picture possible. Mr. Shillabar
(Mrs. Partington) in "The Uninvited Guest" tells
a capital bear story; and Mrs. A. M. Dias, in "An
netta's irry," provides a bit of quiet fun for the
little ones. One of the best stories in the number
is "Jim's Troubles," by Grandmere Julie. E. A.
