A traveler through a dusty road sttowed
acorns on tho lea :
And ono took root and Fprttutcd up, and grew
Into a tree.
LotO sought Us shade, at evening tlmo, to
brcatbo Us earthly vows I
And ago was pleased, in heats of noon, to bask
beneath Us bouirhs :
Tho UormoUio loved Us dangling twigs, tho
birds sweet music' bore;
It stood a glory In Us place, a blessing ever
more.
A little spring had lost Its way amid tho gras9
und'fern;
A passing stranger scooped k well, whero
weary men might turn ;
Ho walled It In, and hung with care n ladle
at the brink :
Ho thought not of the deed ho did, but Judged
that toll might drink.
Ho passed attain, and lo I tho well by sum'
mcrs never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues
and saved a life beside.
A dreamer dropped a random thought j 'twas
old and yet 'twas new ;
A simple fancy of tho brain, but strong la bo
Ing true.
It shone upon a genial mind, and lo I Us light
became
A lamp of llfo, a beacon - ray, a monitory
flame.
Tho thought was small; Its itsuo great a
watchflre on the hill ;
It sheds Us radlanco far. adown, and cheers tho
valley still 1
A nameless man, amid a crowd that throngod
the dally mart,
Let fall a word of hopo and lovo, unstudied,
from the heart;
A whisper on tho tumult thrown a transl-
tory breath
It raised a brothor from tho dust ; It saved a
soul from death.
Oh germ I Oh fount I Oh word of lovo I Oh
thought at random cast 1
Yo were but a llttlo at tho first, but mighty
at tho last.
Paul Raymond's Engagement
It was dreadful too dreadfull Slio throw
herself down on that litllo four by seven
bedstead in tho net much larger hall bed
room, tightly clasping tho shawl around
her, more for something lo hold than any
other reason. Though a. tireless a'om In
midwinter is not tho most cheerful place in
tho world, it might havo boon an ico house
which luckily it was not for all outward
impressions tho girl was likely to receive,
ior tho hot tears streamed from her eyes as,
iu utter abandon of grief, sho lay there, uu
constious of tho loud, discordant jangle ol
tho lunch bell that, pealing through tho
halls, mado her statt nervously. But sho
did not alter her position or prcp.into do
ccend Irom the airy heights of her room to
obtain any midday refreshment.
No; hero at least sho was nt homo,safb
from scrutiny, censure, criticism froo to
indulgo in her own fooling' if sho could bo
said to havo any. But for this paroxysm
She had felt so stony, so steeled against
everything and every no, not till now
ogainst every body. Now sho was, though.
Paul was false; whilo ho was true, what
matter if her pathway was not "strewn witli
ilowers," if tho road was rougli,iftho weari
ness of mind and body iu tho endeavor to
make both ends meet was sometimes almost
too much to bear?
Ho had been hfei friend, kind) cdnsiiter
ate, something of a leaso, too; but it had
always brought tho smilo to her lips, tho
laughter to her eyes. They wcro not en
gaged, but he had given her in many ways,
tho devotion of a lover. Sho fell, nt least,
sho had trusted him as a dearly valued
friend, whilo ho had paid her that defer
ence that n man gives to the ono occupying
the first place in his heart. Was it an easy
thing to resign? never to sco hliii Again?
The tears flowed afresh as sho lay there,
alone, uncarcd for lor onco heedless of
tlmo, lor onco letting her heart and soul as
sert itself.
At times sho would paco the floor as if lod
impatient to live; then throwing herself on
tho bed, tho floodgates of her bouI would
open as sho lay there, humiliated, crushed.
Then ns sho grew calmer, moro from ex
haustion than ony will of her own, tho past
rose up before hir.
She saw herself in her happy, careless
girlhood, her every wish gratified by her
parents, who gave a reluctant consent to her
rather hasty engagement to one who at lirtt
fascinated her with his attention, then as
months passed, grated on her finer sense in
every way, unknowingly. Ho fretted nt
something. When she broko tho spell it
was with a sense of relief, but worded Very
courteously, that ho gave her Up. Toor
child! sho never knew whether his lovo or
pride was piqued tho most. This opened
tho Pandora-liko box of misfortunes.
Boon after, her father, always dclicato,
succumbed under the combined influence
of fading health and fortune. His death
and subsequent, disasters utUHy crushed
her rubther, who became nn invalid, requir
ing every euro and attention. Roso watched
over her with the utmost devotion, never
allowing her tb feel the wont of fortune,
never thinking of herself,till at her mother's
death her empty purse roused tier lo con
tinubd activity for herself. Since then the
days had sped on, her life scarco anything
but a struggle. Her friends tho old-timo
Bummer friends she rarely mot iu "this
Winter of her discontent," till one day, late
returning from the ofllco where she had left
an article (for, poor child, sue wrote a little),
sho met Paul Raynor. He had been a
guest at tltelr house In the old happy times.
She never asked any one to come and sea
her now whero she was living, at a second
or third rate boarding hputai but somehow
before ho left her ho had her address, she
didn't know how.
An evening or IvVti after thai he eame,and
tben be grew to bi) such a good friend so
kind aud thoughtful sho unconsciously
looked to him for all her enjoyment. What
wonder sho toll like n ttnokeu deer when
Emily Phelps, the mischievous daughter of
a manoeuvring mother, came ruAliiug tyto
her room wilh -
"Have you heard the hews? WUjvtdo
you think, Mm lie, of 1'jI RajrnorUeiug
engaged?"
The treadieroti blood rtwtitlod her M.
"What no what do you uawul I
havn't heard!"
This was the moment of triumph for the i
malicious girl. She hsd seeu Paul Raynor
going iq and rtr-ungLiii with llo S..a
hsd endeavored Uscioato turn, but hebsd
refused to bo viotinn.'ed t- pitffu ly sb." ha t
v ntcd ulniii.'j i u
Live and Let Live,'
"Engaged yes, Indeed. How" with a
sly glanco nt Roso "how Is It you know
nothing of it, such friends as you'vo been?
Hut you never can tell about men, as I al
ways say. Perhaps ho will ask you to bo
bridesmaid they'll havo a grand wedding.
They say she's rich, that's what'j done it.
Ho knew what ho was about; sho's a second
cousin; they'vo just relumed from Europe;
an old lovo affair, they say. I must tay ho
seemed pretty well consoled, though. Tho
last year" another furtlvo glance, and
wilh a parting shot "I must say I think
ho has treated you shamefully." Her tor
mentor left her.
Toor Rose! was sho or the room going up
or down? She had been afraid to move, to
speak, almost to breathe, lest sho should bo
tray, by a hair's breadth, her emotion. That
awful woman had sho really gone? With
n despairing cry that would havo told yob
umes to her torturer, Roso throw.hcrself on
tho bod, moro like n crushed lilly In her
grief than tho rcpresetltatlro Whoso nallio
sho bore.
Slowly tho afternoon shadows passed
when Rose realized sho must ''llye and
move and havo her beint" like everyone
else; slowly sho "toolt.up tho sands of life'
again, feeling it must bo true. It was moro
than a week since she had seen Paul. Ho
had been amusing himself with her in his
cousin's absence, then. An indignant flush
swept over her nt the thought, but it nerved
her to a senso of rcalijlng her duty.
OnSo more tho cling-clang rang through
tho house; this time It meant dinner, and
sho wearily obeyed tho summons.
I'ortunately) her writing afforded oyery
excuso ior jaded looks. Tho dinner proved
more of a distraction than sho had thought
possible
In tho evening, every ono gone out, Roso
sat down at the piano, tired herself, tro c.v
hausted to talk, sho tried to drive away
"dull care.
"I havo been eniovinn this some lime:
but a troubled conscience would not let mo
remain lost any longer; I never heard you
play so why, Roso, you aro cryingl"
Ho held out his arms; for a moment she
lay there sobbing, hor head against his
breast; then with a shiycr sho started it
was an effort that cost her almost her breath
but sho regained her composure, and cold
ly fell tho words:
Jin Haynor) to what am I indebted for
your presenco at sucii a time?"
"At such a time?" ho repeated, mechani
cally. Then with n kindly interest, essay
ing to take hold of hor hands: "Roso, what
has happened?"
"What has happened?" It was her turn
lo speak wondoriugly; then, nlmost.hystcr
Ically: "Oh, nothing at all. I was a little
surprised at Something I hoard tills after
noon, that's all."
"What was it, Rose? Tell mo."
Tho eager, questioning voico and look-
there was nothing teasing tliero now.
As she looked, Roso felt ashamed of her
self. What right had sho to question any
or Ins acts?
Thero ho stood, looking at her gravely,
expecting his answer. It was hard to tell,
but bravely she rcsjioilded:
"I heard to-day you wero cntrascd, and
and I thought you might havo told'mc
something about it an old friend. It was
so sudden "
Sho faltered out Ibis much, but could go
no further.
''Why, I'vo been thinking about it for
some time," replied Paul, a bright look in
his eyes, a proud smile on his Hps. "I am
surprised you did not suspect it."
"I don't think I understand you," mur
mured Rose, with just an added shade of
dignity.
"At least you can congratulate me;" and
Paul stretched out his baud; ho was laugh
Ing now.
Was ho so pleased at Ills prospect, or am
used at her?
Battling hard for composure, sho quietly
saidi "If I knew your cousin, I would) hilt
I"
"liy codslh? What has thnl lo do wilh
it? I thought tho affair was between us
you and II1
"You and I? Oh, yes; of course, I know
it's ycry stupid in mo not to ultbr tho usual
congratulations. You inuct bo glad to see
her after being away so long.'
"I beg your pardon, but I must bo tho
stupid one. I don't know what you meant'
His answer was Rose's blank look ofani
aiemonU
lib continued: "Rose, cither you or I are
bereft ofour senses. You don't loblt like it,
but pleaso tell mo what you racatl About my
cousin. I own her unexpected return, my
brother's delight at seeing her; and their
carrying mo off with them to their place up
tho river, culminating in Dick's engage
ment, made a week pass so rapidly that I
owe you an apology for not sending you a
noto explaining it; but I am forgiven now,
am I not?" llo drew her towards him.
"You'll tell me now what's tho niattsr?"
A now light broke in upon Rose.
"It's your brother that's engaged to "
"Why you Utile goosey, Of courso it is. By
Jove! did you think it was me? Yod did,
too, you can't deny it."
His burst of mirtli was contagious. Their
merry peals of laughlcr brought Miss Phelps
on the scene.
With a mock oboisdhoe, Paul drew Rose's
hand through his arm.
"Miss Phelps, allow -me lo introduce to
you the future Mrs. Raynor;" add spite of
Rose's endeavors, ho kept It tight trithin
his owd.
"Why, Mi. Raynor, I am surprised! Only
this afternoon I was'tetling Miss Rose about
your engagement to your cousin."
"You tneou my brother, Miss rbolps.
Your mUtnke was pardonable. In caso you
might make another interesting sketch of
my engagement, pray bo careful and put In
the right young lady. Don't you say so;
Rose?"
"You bare not asked me as yel.'
"Havo I not?" I thought I had. Then
I will now, and Mlas Phelps is a witness.
Roso, will you be ray wifis?"
Row's bright blush was his answer.
"I did not bear her," said Miss Pbelj
rebolling a little against her role."
"I did though," Ntioaded Paul. "You
must congratulate ine. Miss Phelps, on hav
ing aet-uretl the heal wom.m in the world."

"What constitutes nervo?" asked
tho Now York World tlio other day of
Its reader.". Ono man vtlll answer that
It Is presenco of mind; another that It
Is pluck; another ttlat It Is being cool
and collected In an emergency. It li
none of these. It Is something batik of
all of Hi em, and sotnctliliiR which a
man never hail unless It was born
him. Instances ot presenco of mind
wero nict with every day lu the army,
An offlcpr out In charge of foragers or
on a rcconnolssanco would bo suddenly
attacked. Presence ot mind aided lilm
to form his men for dofenco. Ho bad
that presence of mind, even though his
face was as wlilto as flour and his cliln
shaking. Bravo men wcro cciumon
enough In the ranks. Call for men to
face certain death anil a hundred prW'
ates would step out nt oilco, yet, test
their "nerve" and tlioy had nono.
Among two or threo cases In mind,
that of John Melrose; a trooper In tho
Sixth Michigan Cavalry, Is recalled
lie was an under-sired, quiet spoken
man, and bo had that wonderful nervo
which not threo other men In tho whole
brigade possessed. Whllo acting as a
tcout itt the Slieuatidoah Valley bo was
ono day eating dinner at a farm house
when In walked seven Confederates.
A brave man would havo mado tt rush
or bad a fight. Melro.it! simply looked
up as they filed lh: smiled over Ms fix
and called out:
"Say, old woman, put on moro din
ner nere anu we'll all Iiavo a square
meal together I"
"You nte my prisoner I" said tlio
sergeant of tho sqitad as lio advanced.
"Yes.I know It.but I'll pay for a din
ner for you tlud your men just tho Fame!
Sit right down and make yourselves at
home."
Ills nerve upset tho soldiers, and af
ter a moment they took seats at the
table, forming a cduipielfl clrclo around
tlio board. As soon as they began to
eat bo began to think to escape. It was
summer, and the window behind lilm
and ten feet away was open. If bo
stood up till eyes would bo on lilm, and
any excuse to leavo tbo rdom was not
to be thought of.
The uleal wtlsaUodt half finished, and
captors and captlvo wero chatting away
when Melroso suddenly flung himself
backwards, upset Ills clialr, and bound
ed through the window. Tho soldiers
ran out and fired at aud pursued lilm,
but bo mado good bis escape.
lu tho Laury Valley, Just beforolha
affair known as Woodstock Races, Mel
rose and his companions fell out of
tanks to forago. After securing a sup
ply of meat they pushed on after tbo
column and wero riding at a gallop
whetl five bushwhackers, well mounted,
came out Of a cross road abodt twenty
rods ahead of them.
"We are dead menl" said tho scout's
companion as they came to a halt,
Looking back they saw four moro
busliwackers climbing the fence to take
position on tho highway. Melrose
calmly viewed their situated and finally
said ;
"Wil will charge them! Fall lii behind
mo and there will boless danger. Draw
your saber and strike bardl"
The other dared not try It, Ihough he
was a bravo mau. lie thereforo kept
bis place as the scout dashed forward.
Melrore rode straight at tho men with
drawn saber, and tho volley they fireJ
went over him. He struck tho line.
sabred it man as lid passed, and soon ro
joined the column. Ills companion was
hover heard of again, probably being
murdered In cold blood,
In 1804 Melrose alid thrb'e other for
ngers were captured lh the Shenandoah
Valley, taken to a small encampment,
aud tlio four placed In n log suaid
houso until their cases could be dispos
ed of. They talked tho situation over,
and the bravest or tuem could see no
hope of escape, Melrose quietly listen
ed to their discouraging remarks, and
as quietly replied that he would bo In.
sldo cf tbo Union lines beforo midnight,
There was a circlo ot sentinels around
the building, which had no door. The
sentinels placed within six feet of the
building, aud the one In front could see
tlio prisoners through the doorway.
Melrose said that If all would rush to
gether the sentinels would be confused
and either hold their flro or fire wild.
The three men had participated In more
than, twenty battles, and wero ktiowu
as brave fellows, but here they needed
nerve, and nerve was what they bndu't
got.
''Very well I Will go alonel" was
the quiet announcement, and as night
came on Melrose was ready, Staudlng
In the doorway be asked the sentinel
what time It was.
"YoU git hack that or I'll shoot!"
was the prompt reply.
Yes I'm going right back!" said
the scout, aud be dashed upou tho man,
hit hi m a stuunlng blow, and made for
the woods. Ho bud to run across an
open field In full sight of camp, and
though It was dusk, ho Cuuld bo ceen
quite plainly for halt the distance.
Moro than fifty sbdts were Ilrcd at lilm,
and then pursuit began, but he reached
the woods aud made his escape.
