Oh 1 but to (urn and walk with tliee,
Thou Friend in faithful and so kind,
In some sequestered path, and leave
Life's dusty hlg'hwav far behind I
To tread with theo some humble tvoy
That, rough and rugged though it be,
Should lead to sweettr, truer life
Than all my days, bave, brought to me.
To climb the hill, to .rope the ptes,
To bear all burdens, strong and glad ;
To leave this tinselled 'play, and walk
In glorious work'dav' garments clad.
To live and love as th'ose hearts may
Who dwell in peace at Nature's feet
To take the rude life of the hills,
And make it beautiful and sweet.
To hear1 Iho song of birds; to feel
The ruddy touch of mountain brecioj
To resd the. lessons of the brooks,
And find companionship in trees.
To know the blessed, lender calm
Of fireside hours; to laugh, to cry,
Ip joy, in grief;; and, trusting God,
To love and labor till we die.
'A GIRL'S STRATAGEM.
Phoebe- Uaya'ttras Farmer Mapes
bound cirl. This fact aloua explain
why her life was a hard one, for Furmer
Mapes was no easy master penuriono,
grasping and exempt from the feeling
of charity and forbcurauce.
Bat Phoebe had plenty of conraae.and
a suh'uy nature" oh which sorrow rested
bat lightly. Had this cot been tlio case
every spark of spirit would havo been
crashed from her generous young.heort
long ago.
It' was a dark night but oppressively
warm., There was no moon np, and the
sky was obscured with clouds. Phoebe
had carried a dozn fresh t ogs to Deacon
Bally's about a mile and a half from the
farm, add was returning home the long-est-Way.
She walked through the fitlds gaily,
her torn straw hat pushed back on her
short, black curls; her warm brunette
skin flashed with exercise.
A fctling of fteedom pervaded her.
In the silent night, with the vast heav.
on above, and only the solemn croaking
oftho frogs disturbing the calm peace,
Phoebu'u buoyant hinrt was happy.
She skipped along, touching the hill
olover with her birch switch, and singing
softly to herself.
'I Buppcse they will raise a row be
cause I'm si late. But let them, I'm
nsed'to that! I -can stand itC'thii thought
with a gay Iltllo laugh.
She was nennng an opening to n strip
of meadow lund, when voices arrested
her attention. Gruff, menaciuc voices.
with a sound of wicked triumph iu their
tones. I
Phoebe's cheek blanched at Iho soand
her heart seemed to stnnd slill,
'The roughs from Thomaston again!"
she thought. "I wonder what mischief
they are up to now. Maybe they lll
burn Mapes' barn, or kill us nil in our
beds to-night as they threatened the last
time he sent them to ja.i1.
She crouched down in the shadow of
the stone wall, and listened with intense
eagerness; she even tried to restrain her
bieathiLg, knowing well the imminent
danger sho was in.
''He has been stopping at 'The Grove'
lor the summer, and a line stuck-ap gen
tleman be is too, with his music playing
in the middle, of the night, and his stat
ues with fine names stuck in every cor
ner. There he is, I say. with nil his
money, a poor crippled thing, not nbl to
put one foot before the other, and only
an old woman in the house! Just think
of it will ye? Both the men strvants
off to Carrollou till the morning, and
only an old woman and n cripple between
11s and gold!"
The gruff voice Ml into a husky whis
per and ceased. Others took up the
strain.
"Aye, eye. It would be worth the
riskl They say the cove has heaps of
money!"
"Aud an easy matter to settle him if
ha whipped out a -pistol, for be cum. ot
move from bis ctmir without help!"
"Well, we won't stop to fool any lorg
erfjlhe gruff voice which had spokru fiis
oontinied. "Just you do your part and
I'll do mine, I mutt go about my own
bnslness now. At eleven o'clock, you
kuow where to wait for mel"
And after a few more whispered re
marks, all arrangements were conclude i
and the party separated.
Phoeba did not move from her hiding
place till the last sonud had died away.
Then she stood np, her pale face looking
out of the darku-s-s like a spirit's her
large, black eyes horrified and strained.
What a revelation this work of sin and
plotting was to her. And she had been
crouching only two y art's away from men
who conld discuss the killing of a fellow-c.-eature
without a touch of pity.
Oh, what would har fate have been if
discovered? She shuddered at the thought
and remembering the victim of their aw
ful plot, she started forward eager and
brave to foil them in their dtsign.
"The poor young geitlmau at 'The
Grove,' lying so helpless; oh, I must
save him I must! Farmer Mapes will
beat me black and blue for my absence,
but I ahall have to bear It,"
She vaulted lightly over the alone wall
and ran acresi the field, her nimbi, feet
bearing her swiftly along. Then across
the road, over a stile and through more
fields, taking all the short cats she knew
so well, until she stopped at last before
a stone wall with barred gate.
In a second she .had clambered over
the wall and dropped in the soft soil or a
flower bed,
The little, gray stone house, with its
hanging balconies and jntting bay win
dows, looked very lonely as she stood
watching it, all the upper casement win
dows opened, to admit any wandering
breeze that might happen to blow that
way.
Live ana Let Live."
PA., SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1882.
'Tbey would find it an easy task-to
kill him poor fellow!" she thought, go
ing up to the beAvy, oaken door and
knocking softly.
' The old woman before referred to.open
ed'it. "Well, Phoebe Mays!" she crled.sharp
ly, niter pring Into tho fnoo of her vis
itor, "whnt mny yon wanl?"
"Good-evening, Mrs. Tompkinsl" the
girl anld, eatching tho wrinkled hand in
h.-r warm grasp; und slipping Ujly post
tbe'wotuan.iuto her cheery kitchen, "I've
come lo stay awhile."
"And who gate you leave lo como gad
ding around hereM'd like to know! What
-brings 'you out this lime of night?
Stipposo ;ou ran away from old Farmer
Mopes bnt jou can't stay here, not for
an hour! I will just step up to Mr.
Ives "
Phoebe jumped up from her chair and
laid ' her hnn J heavily on the womnn'n
shoulder, her great black eyes burning
With excitement. '
"Mrs. Tompkins, do you lovo your
master? '
"What business Is that of your.,?"
"Do you love him?" Phoebo reiterated,
with compressed limps. 1
Mrs. Tompkins shiank back.somcwhat
awed.
''Love him! I nursed him when he
was a baby, aud ho has been as dear as
my own child to mel Of courso I love
biuit"
"And would you save him from dan
ger if you could?"
"Of course I would."
"Then help me. I havo come to save
him no matter from what. But if you
drive me from the house to-night, you
may live to regret it bitterly to-morrow !
Now do just ns I direct you.''
The trembling woman obeyed Phoebe's
commands with alHcrityvnfter that, aud
twehly minutes later she Btepped from n
little bedroom, dressed like a fashionable
young man. Her tall, well-made figure
looked admirable in Mr. Ives' cast off
suit, and a white Mackinaw straw hat
was set on her short, black curls.
"Lead the way, Mrs. Tompkins. Be-
member that I am a beloved nephjw of
yours.
Phoebe followed to the floor above,and
lth a ttrriblo groan, Mrs. Tompkins
opened her master's door and Ushered
Phot be into a dimly lit sitting room.
"This is a yonug nephew of mine, Mr.
Ives a beloved nephuw of mine!" she
blurted coulusedly; "come to stay over
night as he is in this part of the country.
I thought you might like, to have some
one to talk to, seeing as jou are so lone
some nil day."
A slender, white hand closed fever
Phoebe's brown fiusers. and a soft, hlch-
bred voice bade her welcome.
She sat down by his side, noting ut the
same time with feminine r.ccuracy even
In ,lho shadowy room the peaceful retig
natinu in the dark, kiud eyes and tho
marble pallor of Lis face.
He lalked in an eloqueut dreamy way
of music, books and their author, and
traugocouutrits; opening to her dazzled
eyts visions of wooderful beautyl
"I wish I could talk ns you do!" she
said regretfully. "Oh, I wish I was as
cdncated and refined as you are!"
Mr. Ives laughed, and Mrs. Tompkins
bclow,wondered at tho unusual sound.
'My dear boy, bow Herious yon look!''
then his face clouded over. "I wish I
was strong and healthy like you are! I
wish I could feel free aud hopeful ns you
do! Now, whoso case is more pitiable?
Yours may be remedied mine never
caul"
Phoebe sighed In pity, and at that mo-
ment the clock struck eleven.
She took a cigar and stepped out on
the balcony. Mrs. Tompkins rolled her
young master's chair to his bud-chamber
and Phoebe was left alone.
Half an hour passed, aud still she paced
the balcony in fall view of the road. Her
hat was tilted over her eyes, the cigar
was held up bravely betnetn her lips,
glow ing like a red eye through the gloom,
while she puffed the clouds of smoke up
ltzily into the air iu tho mcst approved
fashioned, and all the while her bta'rt
beat faster and faster at every sound.uud
the cigar was makiugher miserably sick.
"They will think wheu Ihey gee me
that the gnests from New York, expected
next week have arrived to-day, aud that
will put an end to their awful scheme! '
she thought, hopefully.
Twelve o clock at lust.
A man walked hastily and silently up
the road, and r.t the side of the bouso she
heard stealthy steps and the bushes rust
ling. Still smoking, and with the same lei
surely step, she advanced to the end of
the baloouy over the place from which
the i-ounds bad proceeded.
For a moment all was silent as thongh
the villains held their breath with dis
may. Her sharp ear canght an oath of en
raged disappointment hls-sed ont; the
bushes rustled again, and then all was
silent.
She waited another hour, but beard
nothing more. He r strength was gone,
ber brain was reeling,
The task was done and Philip Ives' Ufa
would not be sacrifioed that night, and
poor Phoebe, worn with excitement, jnst
mauaged to rtach the long window and
fell iu a dead faint across the threshold
for the first time in all her strong young
lire.
When Philip Ive,afttr a wakeful nisht,
propelled his invalid chair at dawn, into
bis sitting-room, the first sight that met
bis eyes was the figure or Mrs. Tomp
kins' nephew lying seuseltsson tbe floor.
But nol Surely there was some mystery.
for tbe face, with the morning sunlight
shining upon it, was that of Phoebe
Maya, whom he had often seen bringing
eggs and butter lo "The Grove,"
Two hours liter Pbo.be stood 'oefnre
him in her old print dress and told him
the klory,
Aud that day tbe would-bo murderers
were safely lodged In Jail.

Myrtle Mibnffy was a beautiful girl,
just budding into sweet w omauhood, and
Adtlbert loved her deaily. They bad
wandered togfcthcr.tbissuninier afternoon
from the in.itiuee lo the street car. and
he had aked her to be his wife. It wns
iu answer to this qtiislinn the earnest
appeal of a man whose whole nature was
wrapped up in a pnssiou ho could neith
er control' nor cast aside that Myrtle
bad spoken the words with which' our
story opens. She had watched him
closely during, nn acquaintance of some
two years, and noticed with pain how he
sedulously avoided candy stores and ice
cream saloons., "IcanjUever marry a
man," she had said lo her.Jmother one
day, who shies at tho tight of a candy
store like a country horse at ,a fire-engine."
aud when the expectedavownl
came, she kept her word.
Adelbert. turned round in a dazed sort
of way after Myrtle hod rejected him,
and walked swiftly toward tho dry; goods
store which had been so fortun.ite as to
secure his services.
All the,atternoon Adelbert slOod moo.1-
ily behind tho libbon counter, thinking
of how he couidrovcuge himself ou the
ntngljty girl who had wrecked his hap
piness. At precisely it u clock it usee's
joy lighted up h s couniciiancu, and put
ting on his Lnt, he ltft the store.
As tho bell of St. Agnes' church were
striking 0, a voting ;uian .sprang lightly
up ILo sleeps of a magnificent residence,
ami v as 'soon stated I'nthe'.snmpluously
furnished p.ulor. The rroprletor of the
house, a benevolent looking old gentle-;
nvin, entered the room, "Do vou wish

kins lor it was he who hud sprpiig up
the steps so lighily.
"Yes," ho replied, "you aro the person
Ifeek."
"What would you?" nikedtbo old gen
tleman.
"You are the cashier in the bank,
I believe?" said the young man.
"I am."
"You have been sttullng the concern's
money. Dj nut seek to dtceivu me
You uie a cashier; 'tis enough. Give
me $20,000 or I will expose yon and ruin
your lite. Hiving heard me twittsr, you
can choose your own course."
For nn inslabt the cashier did not
move, and then, going to an elegant es
criotoire which stood In a corner of the
Diim, he wroti- a checkjfor $50,000, cer
tilled it, aud handed tho pieoe of piper,
now a fortune, to tho youux miut
"I have but ono favor to ask, he said,
"and that is that you'll marry my daugh

$100,000 iu her onu right, aud when I

To months later Myrtle Mahstfy, tho
cashier's only child, became Adlebert's
bonuy bride. One child, a blue-eyed
boy with golden lair, has bl ha-A the
union, aud as he sits on his grandfather
kuee iu front of the Urn, and axks in his

SHORT OF MEAT.
A Methodist minister traveling in
Michigan was entertained by n fami
ly, whose hospltulily was greater than
their means, and who were short of meat
Iu order to spreud a good dinner lor the
parson, it was decided toblay the pet hen
which, btlonged to tbe lillls" buy of lie
family. This vas a sacrifice, but tbe in
terests of religi mand hospitulity seemed
to demand it, and so the bird's neck was
wrung. After dinner the minister was
asked to lead in family devotions, which
with true clerical courtesy be consented
to do. Tbe family being all OalUd to
gether, all knelt down on tbe floor which
was of board, liberally adorued' with
knot holes. While the prajer was going
on, a lonely little chicken, one of tbe
children of the deceased ben, came run
ning under tbe bouse lamenting the loss
of its mother. The afflicted littloi lad
put Lis month to a knot hole aud si iupu-
tbeticully id to the chicken; "IVepy,
peepy, I didn't kill your mother. They
killed her for thutblgcld preacher's din

out of all seuse of prayerlulness aud sud
denly brought bis devotional exercises tn
a close.

THE COLD SHOULDER 1U CHURCH.
We known emu, well educilut, polite,,
agreeable in all private intercourse, who
did a vety impollto thing the olhr day
in church. When tho sermon began, ho
bait looked up, with no encouraging ex
pression on his face, but with the a)r ol
a suapirfuii man, who "dots not believe
there is much iu it," but is willing to
wait a tittle, aud see. He was clcarly
prepafed hot to be Interested. If all the
church attendants uyeeted their preach
tr thus, they wond breA bliu down at
the outset. OnrtfiiuLd soon dropped
his cyrs turned aa-fnr round at the seat
would let him, and fairly gave Ihe.min
iater the cold shoulder. IIu did uot shut
his eyesji that 'Weoild have been less dis-
cotiragiug. Tho miuisttr might huvo
thought "Poor man, ho has been hard
worked in his business, and though the
spirit is willing', the flesh is weak.". He
was provtikiugly' wide awake.. Hat he
lookeil down, straight And bard, -as if he,
would look thu flior through, and look
out an underground passage by which lo
escape. The're he foT. stern and rigid,
seeming to feel sour, discontented, boretd,
His wbo!6 ttttlt?.desaiU' "Thntsormon is
not worth much, I wish. I .could hear
something better."
Well, the sermon might havo been
poor; we havoi n right lo speak ou that
point- But it cost labor. Weary, though
pleasant hours were spout iu thinking it
out,, in casting and reo.istlng it. in trying
to mitka its central truth stand out prom
inent and imprissive. And Its truth was
one of great moment. Even though, in
tbe estimation of its unwilling hearer,
poorly set forth, it deserved serious and
respectful uttei tion. But there sat the
hearer sa ing all the while by his man
ner "I wish you were inJoppa!" In
oue place he did look up, as if about to
.show seme interest, but he soou re-lapsed
into the disgusted state. As a whule.it
was most decidedly a case of cold, very
cold shoulder,
Wa are sorry he was so ill satisfied.
We wish every man he hears were a star
preacher, able to fascinate and cntrause
him. But ns most preachers are not ex
traordinary men, we do not see how he
is to get along. He is a church mem-b.-r.
nud it would scarcely bereputtble
to stay away from church;, and it may
not be convenient to go every Sabbath
where brilliant orators .are to be heard.
He must go to church; and he must hear
sotuo seimous which claim no more than
to be pliin, simple pusintations of re
ligious truth. Now we r.sk, is it pi'lite
for him to frown on a minister in the very
house of worship? If be cannot bo pleas
ed, may not others bo profited? And if
the preacher has nny right to preach, is
it not best to show a decent .interest in
tbe services?
.Perhaps wo mishikernr friend. Per
haps he is, pretty well satisfied, but "that
is his way," , If, so it is a most unfortun
ate way. Gentlemen elo not treat each
other so iu the pallor, or the counting-
room; why should they iu the church?
The thought will do to dwell on aud car
ry out. Let nil church-goers pay good
nnd evident ntteitiou to the preacher,
and they will "encourage him more than
they think of. And If they wish to get
belter srrinoos,, that is just the way to
tiling it about.

THE COLORADO DESERT.
Tliero is uu old inl.ige which stys that
'Atizotia wns tbe lost spot on earth to be
created; that Yuma Is the outprst of the
netl.tr regions' aud thu hottest place. iu
the world. Everyone knows the story of
the two toldiers who, while stationed at
Fort Yuma, died nnd going straight to
Hades, returned in a short time for their
blanket! Be that' us it may there can be
no doubt that parts of Southern Califor
nia and Arizona are nmoug the hottest
regions of the world. Neither tbe Desert
of Cobi in Asia nor the Great Sahara iu
Alricu can be worse, in this respect thuu
their small relative, the Colorado Desert,
in Caliioruia, A protracted journey of
Romu lour weeks over this demit gave me
an excellent chance to see it lu its worst
aspect, aud I purpose trying to give .oth
ers un account of iu roost inlcrcs'.ing'fea
lures. The desert occupies almost thu
whole of tho Urge county, of S.u Diigo?
It is some one hundred nud fifty milts
long nnd tally miles wide, nud the South
ern Pacific Itnilnad runs through ibe
ceuter of it. About sixty miles liom Los
Angeles, the railroad eue-uunlera a vir)
steep crude one hundred to oue huueired
and ten feet to the mile, und it continues
lor twentj-two miles. At the summit,
known as San GorgionloPa.-s, begins tbe
descent into the desert, and every mile
brings you to a more de.olale country.
At Whitewater S ntion, twenty miles
from the summit, the desert commences
in earntst. First n few flowers enliven
the scene. Large Oenotheras, three or
fonr inches iu diameter, grow ou small
stnkis five er six inches high. Large
pl-.nts of Abrouta maritinin, w ith clusters
of brilliant purple flowers, spread over
the ground. Alitile Gilln(0. Ltmmoni),
with white corolla aud yellow centtr
adds i's beuuty to the scene uud the only
