Thero never yet a love was born Into this world, without A silent shadow on Its dawn The shadow of a doubt A shadow which Is scarcely seen, And yet as swiftly flics As objects which may como between Our vision and the skies, And vanish, leaving In their track No token and no trace, Nor ever In their paths turn back To mar the day's sweet grace. But through the shadows that are past, Through all love's wavering doubt, The perfect trust shall dawn at last, To cast tho shadows out, Thoughdarkenlng clouds, which ovtrbrood, Tho sunlight shall appear, And love's transcendent Interlude Shall banish every foar. OH, HEART t Oh, heart that beats as other hearts Have beat of yore I I linger here for her, my love, Outside of her father's door. I look and watch, and, waiting, yearn To see her at tho gates, And know with lovo's full tidal turn My being palpitates, Thero Is a beauty In tho night, A glory In each star. I wait hor coming, fur the light Which bcameth still afar Tho love-light which shall shed Its rays Across tho coming hours, And over all the futuro days Shall scatter fadeless flowers. Sho comes I stio comes 1 Tho air grows bright! Her loving face I see ; And even night Is no more night I When sho Is hero with mo. Oh, stars of heaven I with Joy look down Upon our perfect bliss. Sho crowns my life with lovo's pure crown, And gilds It with hor kiss. THE BRAMANAT CHURCH- On the road onco more, with Lebanon fading away In tlio distance, tho fat passen ger drumming idly on tho window pane, tho cross passenger sound asleep and the tall thin passenger reading Gen. Grant's Tour Around tho World, and wondering why Green's August Flower should bo printed above the doora of "A Buddhist Tcmplo at Benares." To mo comes tho brakcman,and seating himself on tho arm of a scat says: "I went to church yesterday." "Yes?" I said, witii that interested inflec tion (bat asks for more. "And what church did you attend?" "Which do you uess 1" ho asked. "Some union mission church?" I hazard ed. Now," ho said, "I don't like to run on theso branch roads very mucin I don't often go to church, and when I do I want to run on the mam line, where your run is regular and you goon schedulo timo and don't hayo to wait on connections. I don't like to run on a branch. Good enough, but I don't liko it." Episcopal?" I guessed. Limited express," lie Bald, "all palaco cars and two dollsrs extra for a scat, fust time and only stop at tho big stations. Nice line, hut too cxhauslivo for a brakeman. All trainmen iu uniform, conductor's punch and lantern silver plated, ami no train boys allowed. Then the passengers are allowed to talk back to tho conductor, and it makes them too freo and easy. No, I coujdn't stand tho palaco cars. Rich road, though Don't often hcor of a receiver being ap pointed on that line. Some mighty rich people travel on it, too." "Universalisl ?'' I suggested . "Broad guago," said the brakeman; "does too much complimentary busincs. Every body travels on a pass. Conductor doesn't get a fare onco in fifty years. Stops at all flag Etations and won't run into anything but a union depot. No smoking car on this train. Train orders arc rather vague though, and tho train men don't get along well with the passengers. No, I don't go to the Universalis., though I know some awfully good men who run on that road." "Presbyterian ?" I asked. "Narrow guago, eh ?" said tho brakeman) "pretty track, straight as a rule, tunnel right through n mountain rather than go around it, spirit level grade, passengers have to show their tickets before they get on the train. Mighty strict road, but the cars arc a little narrow, Iiavo to sit one in a seat and no room iu the aisle to dance.Thcn there is no stopover tickets allowed ; got to go straight through totho station you're ticketed for, or you can't get on at all. When the car's full no extra coaches j cars built at the shops just to hold so many and nobody else allowed on. But you don't of ten hear of an accident on that road. It's run right up to the rules." "May bo you joined the Free Thinkers?" I said. "Scrub road," eald tho brakeman, "dirt road bed and no ballast, no time card and lispatchcr. All trains run wild and every engineer makes his own time, just as ho pleases. Smoke if you want to, a kind of go as you please road. Too many side tracks, and every switch wido open alMlio time, with the switchman sound asleep and tho target lamp dead out. Get on us you plcaso and oft when you want to. Don't liava to show your ticket, and the conduc tor isn't expected to do auy thing but amuse the passengers. No, sir, I wasoOered a pass, but I don't like the line. I don't like to travel on a road that has no terminus. Do you know, sir, I asked a division superin tendent where that road run to, and he hoped todie if ho knew. I asked him if the general superintendent could tell me, and he said ho didn't believe they had a general superintendent, and if they had ho didn't know anything more about the road than the passengsrs. I asked him who ho reported to and he said nobody. I asked a conductor who he got his orders from,and he said he didn't take orders from any liv ing man or dead ghost. And when I asked the engineer who he got his orders from, bo said he'd like to see anybody give him op tiers ; he'd run that train to suit himself or be'd run her In tho ditch. Now you see, sir, I'm a railroad man, and don't care to run on a railroad that has no time, or makes no connections, runt nowhere and has no su perintendent. It may bo all right, but I've railroaded too long lo understand it." "May be you went to the Congregational church ?" I asked. "Popular road," said the bralreman. "an SI. 00 If old road, too ono of tho very oldest in tho country. Good road bed and, comfortablo cats. Well managed road, too; directors don't interfere with superintendents and train orders. Road's mighty popular, but It's pretty independent, too. Yes, didn't ono of the division superintendents down East discontlnuo ono of the oldest stations on this line two or thrco years ago ? But It's a mighty pleasant road to travol on. Al ways has a splendid class of passengers." "Did you try the Methodist?" I said. "Now you'ro shouting," ho said with some enthusiasm. "Nice road, eh? Fast timo and plenty of passengers. Engines carry a power of steam, and don't you forget it; steam gauge shows a hundred and enough all tho time. Lively roadj when tho con ductor shout? 'all aboard,' you can hear him to tho next station. Every train light shines liko a headlight. Stop over checks are giv en on all through tickets j passengers can drop oft the train as often as ho likes, do tho station two or three times and hop on tho next revival train that comes along. Good whole soulcd, companionable conductors ; ain't a road in tho country where tho pas sengers feel mo"e at homo. No passes ; every - . ivlt i n. , .,-.,-, passenger pays run iraiuc r&ies ior ins uci(ei. Wcsloyan air brakes on all trains, too ; pret ty safe road, but I didn't rido over it yester day." rcrhnps you tried tho Baptist ?" I guess ed onco more.

While traveling through Switzerland, re cently, with his wife, a physician, resident ofGratz, witnessed a small railway station within tho Helvetian frontier a truly tragi cal and thrilling episode of domestic life, which he has imparted to tlio leadingjourn al of his native town. A young doctor, re cently appointed to tho post of town phy sician in tho Swis3 bourg, which became the scene of tho tragedy, had for somo years carried on a liaison with a married lady. Shortly after his appointment, however, ho contracted a matrimonial alliance with a young lady of respectable family, and was just starting upon his wedding trip with his bride, when his former mistress appeared in tho station, and flung herself down upon the rails as the train commenced to move. Tlio engino passed over her body, mangling it horribly, and the bridegroom was sum moncd iu his medical capacity to tho spot where the uufortunato woman's remains had been deposited. Unnerved by tho ter rible sight, ho uttered a loud cry and fell upon tho platform in a state of insonsibility. Somo of the bystanders acquainted his bride with tlio cause of the suicido committed al most bofore her eyes, whereupon sho turned with loathing from tho senseless form of her husband, and at onco went back to her father's house, leaving Dr. to tlio in dignation of tho crowd assembled in the railway station. A spirited endeavor was made to lynch him, from which he was res cued with great difficulty by tho polico and station officials. To rompleto the horrors of this dismal story, the husband of tlio un fortunate lady who perished under the wheels of the locomotive went raving mad upon hearing of her awful death and its cause, and is at present the inmate of a lunatic asylum. A KUIAUKAIILI. SXOHY. Not long ago a well-known collector of curiosities In Tarls, who had devoted con siderable sums of money to tho gathering together of bank notes of all countries and all values, became the possessor of a Dank of England five-pound note, to which an unusually strange story was attached. This note was paid into a Liverjiool merchant's oflico In the ordinary way of business Bixty one years ago, and its recipient, the cashier of the firm, while holding it to the light to test Its genuineness, noticed some faiut red marks ujwn it which, on closer examina tion, proved to be semi-effaced words, scrawled in blood between the printed lines and upon the blank margin of the note.Ex traordinary pains were taken to decipher these partly obliterated characters, and eventually tlio following sentenco was made out : "If this note should fall into the bands of John Dean, ofLonghill, near Carlisle, he will learn hereby that his brother is lan Euisliing a prisoner Iu Algiers." Mr. Dean was promptly communicated with by the holder of tber note, and he appealed to the Government of the day for assistance In his endeavor to obtain his brother's' release from captivity. Tho prisoner, who, as It eubso quently appeared.had traced tho above sen tenco upon the note with a splinter of wood dipped in his own blood, had been a slavo to the Dey of Algiers for clevon yearj, when his strango missiye first attracted attention in a Liverpool counting-house. His family and friends had long beliovcd him dead. Eventually his brother with tho aid of a British authority in the Mcdltorrauean, suc ceeded in ransoming him from the Dey, and brought him home to England, where be did not long survive his release, bis consti tution having been Irreparably injured by exposure, privations and forced labor in the Day's gallics.

Ho drove out, and as ho was hitch ing his horse tho door opened and a young woman with a child in her arms came out. They greeted each other, and she said, "Oh, you are tho doctor como to seo grand' mother. She's pretty tick. You'll find her In (he house." Ho went in and found a woman about -10, who said : "You will find grandmother in that way." In tho room to which ho was directed he found an aged, white-haired lady lying on the bed. She was quite deaf, and did not notice his ap proach until he sat down and began to feel her pulse. She turned and said, "Ob, you are the doctor. I am not sick. It's mother you waut to see. You will find her in the next room." So into the next room he passed, and at last ho was in tho presence of his patient, whoso daughter, grand daughter, grcat-grand-daughter, and great-great-grand-daughtcr bo had encountered. Ho found her so reduced by disease aud old ago she wa 07 years old that he saw no chance of her living more than a week. He told the family so, but at their request loft medicines and directions. Somo thrco weeks after ho was driving by and saw an old lady picking up chips. Ho pulled up his horse, intending to ask when his pa tient had died, when she looked up and said i "Oh, you aro the doctor who came to see mo when I was so sick."

On ono of the rocks brought to Franklin Ky., lo use in the foundation of the court house, were found numerous human tracks plainly defined and unmistakable. Tbo stone is about threo feet by six, and one side showed as many as a dozed of these human footprints. Some of them were misshapen, as if having been made in soft clay and crowded by contiguous tracks, but many were In most perfect formation. None were barefoot tracks, but evidently made by fashionably shaped shoes. On the stone were alto seen one bovine track that was clearly defined, and one that was somewhat out of semblance. In some of these tracks there had been an after formation of rocks, which with a chisel was easily removed. The stone came from the Vermont quarry. The question that naturally arises is, who were the people that, wearing shoea with fashionably high heels aud well-rounded shaukt, inado'thalr tracks in the soft blue clay that afterwards solidified Into ttona?

One morning waler for washing wai brought to Manu, and when ho had washed himself a fish remained Ic his hands, and it addressed theso words to him i "Protect mo and I will save thee" "From what wilt thou save me 1" "A deluge will sweep all creatures away ; It is from that I will savo thee." "How (hall I protect thee ?" Tho fish replied : "Whllo we are small wo run great dangers, for fish swallow fish. Keep mo at first In a vase; when I become too large for it, dig a basin to put me into. When I shall havo grown still more, throw mo into the ocean ; then I shall bo preserved from destruction." Soon it grew a large fish. It said to Manu: "The vory year I shall have reached my full growth the deluge will happen. Then build a large vessel and worship me. When the water riso enter tho vessel and I will save thee." After keeping him thus, Manu carried tha fish to the eca. In tho year Indicated Manu built a vessel and worshipped tho fisb. And when tho Delugo came bo entered tho ves sel. Then tho fish came swimming up to him, nnd Manu fastened tho cable of tha ship to the horn of tho fish, by which meant tho latter made it pass over tbo Mountain of the North. The fish said, "1 have saved thee ; fasten tho vessel to a tree that the wa ter may not sweep it awoy while thou art on tho mouutaiu; and in proportion as tho wa ters decrcaso thou shalt descend." Manu descended with the waters, and this is what is called tho descent of Manu on the Moun tain of tlio North. Tho Deluge had carried away all creatures, and Manu remained alone. A CIIAiniED SOLDIEU. Ex-Sergeant Ignaco Hofl,tho well-known keeper of tho Aro do Triomphc, was once) considered a spy by bis Parisian friends. Ho is now, and deservedly, tho most popu larof livingFronch heroes; has been award ed every distinction and substantial recom mendation which it is In the jwwer of a thankful nation to bestow, and is to bo pre sented with a splendid rifle by publio sub scription. But it is none tho less a fact and a painful ono that when he wus made a pris oner by tbo Germans, at tho battlo of Cham piguy, tho rumor obtained currency that he was only a Prussian in disguise, who bad found at last a convenient opportunity of making good his escape. At that time, bo i( noted, tlio man had been for more than six weeks .footing, upon an average, one German a day. In view of tho crowds of Parisian admirers brought to tho outposts by Iho renown of his prowess, ho had him self received more than 20 bullets in hit uulform, to thoextcntof havingslx or seven times to petition fora new suit, without ever being wounded. There was In his extra ordinary good luck, as well as his unerring skill, something truly wonderful, which caused for him iu a few, days quite a repu tation. HE wOK THE ItliT. A mesmerist at Hartford found a orowd of hotel loafers making fuu of him and his show bills, and offered to give a freo exhi bition of his skill. He bet one ot the party that ho could eo place him under mesmeric inlluenco that, with his finger on his nose, ho could not leave tbo room without taking his finger down. Tbo other man took the bet. Tho mesmerist made him shut his eyes, made a few passes about him, put the victim's arm around an iron post, nnd made the hand grasp tho nose of tho man. Then with a few more mystic passes, he told him to open his eyes. Tbo crowd awarded the bet to the mesmerist, and tlio othor fellow was induced by tho forco of circumstances to set 'cm up. A RAKE FEAT OF COURAGE. A brave lad has just performed a rare leat of courage, common sense and prcsenco of mind in Berlin, in tho presencoof very few observers. A milk cart, containing no ono but a littlo girl about three years old, was being wildly dragged along the Muh lcnstrasse, by a furious horse, and no one da red to rush at the bridle of the galloping beast. A boy, apparently not more than thirteen years eld, sprang forward, and roll ing a large empty tub, which was standing at a shop door, into the center of tbo road. This brought the horse to an instant's pause, and when be tried to pass at Its side the boy seized the bridle and hung on, at the same moment throwing up bis legs, and clasping them tightly round tho horse's neck. This heavy burden in so unusual a placo brought the terrified horso to a stand still, and the bystanders hurried up, and Jjfted the little girl out of the cart. While all manner of questions and soothing speeches were being addressed to her, the hero of tho action quietly slipped away, no one'knowing his name or dwelling. . DIFFERENCE IN WOMEN. A young married woman from England, who had remained long enough in this country to feel perfectly at home, told a lriend that English timidity so clung to htr that sho could hardly go into Boston, five miles, to do her shopping, without having ber husband or brother to escort her on tha railway. Tho difference between her and the American woman who,t a call of duty or even pleasure, would take her traveling bag and set off for Colorado without fear of harm is hardly greater than tbe difference between tbo tongue-tied women of fifteen years ago, in reform meetings, and tho vot ing women of to-day. ANECDOTE OF HOVALTV. The lady who Is now Crown Princess of Germany was, as tbe child Princess Royal of Britain, a veritable "little witch."

In vain tho Queen tried to In duce ber small daughter to grace Brown' name with some sort of prefix. At length she was peremptorily informed that if she ever again ventured to maka use of this un ceremonious style of address, the punish ment would be an instant dismissal to bed. The physician reappeared In a day or two, and was greeted by the young lady with these words t "Good morning, Brown, and good night, too, Brown, for I'm off to bed," and tha at onco "beat a retreat."
