"Yen, be is a bard old case, that's what everybody says, so it's bound to be true." "Then, rlidu't he refuse to give good Mr. Doodlum n single cect for the.pur- chiiHe of dnraaak curtains and velvet cushions for a South Sea ibluud church? aud didn't be tell Mrs. Sniffle he had bettor use for his money than wasting it on the society for the prevention of cruelty to sea sorpntu'" Mrs. Sniffle, kind, thoughtful crentare saTB she "prays every night for that poor hardened Biuntr's soul." Once, when minister referrod to the bard of hfart, the last person in church kuew he meant Stephen Somerville, They say be makes "lots" of money, nntl hides it away the miserly fellow! Ther say he Is awfully stiupy, and as unsocial as a turtle in its hell. "They say" how simple the words, yet what cruel scars they carve on many n fair name! To how many bit ter nnd unkind thrusts nre those two co vardly little words a prelude I They say he is a perfect Tackleton in giuff- net-s, all little children st em to love him, I You see, thoy haven't yet le-irned to reas on t Lemuel vts into likes aud dislikes. but rnsh blindly into friendships nnd bates. Poor little innocents! But some persons believe the little ones are blessed with a God-given intuition that makes them know the pure and the true from the false. There is an almost iniperctptiblo soft light in Stephen Sonierville's grnve eyip, and a nutneloss something winning in1 the lines aronud his mouth; but wlat are those iusiguificant little gltams and cmves compared to tho "they says" of saciety? Anatomists say we all have such a thing as a heart, but no one Imagined that the hard old oase owned such a piece of property, until be full iu lovevtitb prttty Kate Lawrence. But she was too well award of bis reputation for being pcuurious, cold und sulnsh, to trust her life to bis care. Still, at times, she conld not sonceal from herself tho fact that one word from quiet Stephen Som erville interested ber more tbau all the brilliant compliments showered uuon her from other lips, and that one of bis rare smiles haunted ber for days. But she didn't love him, of course notl TbeLiw reuo--s are matter-of-fact, sensible people and not likely too Indulge in such a weak n is as falling in love with marble slut. U's. Her most devoted admirer was L'gay, a vivacious, courtly, captivutiug, carpet knight, as elegant and demon strative as poor Stephen was blundering and reserved, His tact and winning ways soon rendered hiin the honored fayorito of St. Mary's best society In geueral, und of Miss Kate Lawrence fn ptrliculir; so said Dame llu'uor. and she knows everything. Among tbo passengers on a very un comfortable puMio vohiclc, advertised as an "elegant, luxurious coaoh," wiu ing and bumping and joatliug-its way to St. Mary's late iu December, 1878. was Kate Lawrence, retnrniug home from a little, visit. A gleam of surprised deli, h; overspread the couutonance of Mr. Legay when, on entering Ibe stage, be bthtld bis "heart's fend Idol." And, after an hour's travel, who should appear but Stebhen Somerville. As a Rein ral tbiuc the reserve nt this bard old cuss was n fortress behind which to hido his tid ings; but at this uuexpet'ted uieetiuji with somebody ou the stage, either Mr. Legay or one of the other paHaeugera, a smile and a glow of pltanire pliyerl traitor aud crept forth from the citadel. And after the usual greetings, hetvin ventured on some original obervati n aliont the weather being very odd. But Ktte replied raiuer inuiiivreutiy to tbls j overture, and tbe hard old case retired, repulied. to Ms shell. I Mr. Lecav improved this ormortunltT . of displaying bis converaatioual powers. on1 ir uothiugs were in h k d conlnUlt t0 ,,oor Slf,,Ueuv i- .. .. rr -.i ., 1 n,t.nrn1n-.l--l ,.ma,l- tl.ol Hula ..- , b, came bn eager listener. Presently he I spoke of tbe deferenoe due ta the "glorl ons sex ' from gentlemen, especially in woman Is ever an obieet of adoration. a t ,t V , . whether arrayed in tbe garb of a peasant, or tue siiaeu attire 01 a princess, ji eo. I pie in love do talk so extrvagautl)!l ' "Aud rather than allow a lady to ataud , t m .il... i "H-u. hf loivtuu the su.ii.-, Vci-iui- -;.'--""- --r other eoluniu. Tlie Time lias got tu bo a I the raatt.r of traveling, obtaining tickUjwrlofneeeHty with Mma ,a (l ,n,,! and giving np seals. "To r.e," he said, I 0UIU,nuui,y ana It ought to be with many ' via 1.00 ing ont again. "It depends on who. the lady Is whether I rise or not. Some of your 'glorious sex' accept our sacrifices an thanklessly as the goddrsses of old did the humau ulTeriugs laid on their ultars. A few, like Queen Bess, repay the simpletons for casting the velvet mantle for Ibeir diiu'y feet, hut It'i procious few; and, after all, Raleigh won it place in her good graces only to lose his head." The consinnences of this lone speech sent Stephen blushing behind bis forti fications agaiu for Kate said: "You're a severo critic, Mr. Somcr- vill,-; I really bad no idea you were snch a stndeut ot woman nature! l'rny, how and when and where did yon acquire your knowledge on the subject?" "Theru'a more danger of my losing a hiart than it head tu the service of my queen," murmured Mr. Legay, looking an uvalaucho of tenderness nt Kate. At this interesting juncture the "elegant, luxurious coach" stopped to "to take in a 'omsn," the driver said: "Her husband is as iuduslrious n fel low as eer nailed on a hrss-shoe or blowcd the bellows, but ho couldn't git no work on thoso bar'u pine bill, so ho goes down yonder to Sint Mary's; gets a sttnashun, nu' sen's fur bis famberly. An' here they comes." The little old gate creaked tba "fam- berley" a dismal farewell ou its rusty hinges, as a poorly dressed woman, with a delicate child iu her arms aud a little boy clinging to her skirts, came out. Once more the stage started. The cold became mora intense, and before many miles were traversed tbe little trio were blue and shivering. The mother took off her faded shawl and wrapped her children carefully in it. Little Dix ie, ttw boy, bobbed on bis rough jacket sleeve, aud said lie "wished be was iu a big ole Are." At last, all the passengers complained of tba cold, except the bard old case, who forgot his former weather observation, nnd grew so warm that he was obliged tojay aside his big, warm shawl. "Shawls are snch a trouble, and I'd be glad to get rid of this one," be said, handing it to the grateful little mother. Sbe thought he must bo very qneerly constituted to get too warm on such a day, while Mr. Legay wore two shawls with seeming comfort. To Kate the eotion was almost sublime. and the white lie accompanying it wus such as tbe angels blot ont with a tear. The "invisible writing" in Stephen Sotu erville's character was becoming clear. For tbe rest of tho ride sbe could not see the point of Mr. Legay's witticisms, aud rsplied so curtly to bis sentirnvnUlisms that he wondered what could have wrought snch a -sudden change, "Fair, but fickle," be thought. When the 'elegant and luxurious coach' finally lumbered into St. Mary's, tbo wearypassengerswillinglybesan toaligh1. Boy-like, Dixie was among the first to escape from thraldom; aud before his mother could collect up baby aud bundle and basket, be was under.tbe horses' feet. His mother saw the danger as the wild horses took fright, but was too fur off to render any assistance except a useless warning. One swift moment to her a year! then there was a child's sharp cry, a woman's wail,and the silence of breath less, stilling suspense fell upon tbe by standers. Another instant, and the boy, terribly frightened, bnt safe and sonnd, was in his mother's arms, and the bard old ease was picked up where the elegant coach, with its flying steeds, had just stood. He was senseless and severly injured. Kate wanted to wring her hands and die, but ber good seuse prevailed, und Bho gave orders for Mr. Somerville to be conveyed to her own pleasant home iu stead of bis distant boarding-bocse. Ah now, in unfading characters, glowing golden letttrs, was tbe writing all reveal ed! At first tbe physicians thought there was no hope, but their skill aud tbe faith ful nursing given bim by the Lawrences and Dixie's parents, Mr. Somervillo be gan to improve. It was wonderful to see what a tender, gentle nurse the rough blacksmith proved himself. He felt that even a life long devotion could not ex press his gratitude to tbe man who bad ao nobly risked his life to saye bu boy Kate wandered about the honse like ii lost spirit, aud her mother n as puzzled at her being "to nervous over au itccidcut to a comparative stranger." But when Stephen's recovery b, c.ime certaiu, the youug lady happened tn overcome ber "nervousness" viry rapidly. New Year morning dawned, Stephen wus able to make his appearance in the parlors for the first time, und Dixie came ver in all the glory of a bran new anit, lull of pockets, which the now year hud brought. His only shadow of sorrow uow was that bu didn't have it baud for to CD cute littles pocket. lie had t-petit tno hours, and his only "two bits" in a toj stor", gfttiug a preseut for his deliwrtr. Kite said it wus ft perfect beauty, aud the hard old cane declared that a loy barkiug sheep, with bead eyes, was just exactly what be wauted! Then trine mjsterious-lookiug package were givm to Dixie, and be wtnt home with as much trne happiuess stowed under his tiny , ..ril u-v.t lull irlnm.nt r.n j Tben Stephen Somerville snn.iuoned i up the courage to tell Kate the "tlir.p I little words'' lie bud so lunr. wanted In I ' say.

Au aged person stood, ou a New Year's night, ut tho window, aud gazed upward, with a glance of anxious despair to tho find, ever-blootnit'g heavens, nnd down, ward to the quiet, pure earth, whereon was now no ono so joyless nnd sleepless as hi in st If. For bis gravo was near by, and it was only covered with the snow of old age, not with tbo grecu of youth. He had gained from an opulent life noth ing but errors, sins nnd disease; u de stroyed rnnetitulion, a dtsolato mind, n breast full of poison, an old age full ol remorse. The beautttul days of bis yor.th returned to-day. iu varied vision, and dragged him back to tbo bright morning wbcu his father first placed him nt the crossroad of life.'.'wbich to the right, In the path of virtue, lends iuto a uide, quiet country, full of light nnd harvest; and to the left, lends away, in the mole-tracks of vice, iuto a black pit full of poisou.bisaing serpents, und dark, sultry vapors. Alul the serpents encircled his breast und tbo dropi of polxon were on his lonRue; ho knew uow whero he whs With iuexprt-Hsiblo grief he cried out to the henveus, "ltestore mo lo youth, oh father, l'lace me nt the crossroad tbnl I mty choose n diffi-rent course!'' But hit father aud his youth had long sinoa paused uway. Ha saw lights danc ing over tho morass, then disappear iti the graveyard, aud be exclaimed, "Those are my loolhh days!" He saw a shooting star glitU ring iu ite downward couro. and dissolving on the gronnd. "That Is myself,'1 whispered bis bleeding heart, aud the serpent's tooth of repentance dug deeper iuto his wonnds. His excit ed imagination ehowed him ou the roofs fleeting somnambulists; tho wind-mill raised its urms ready to crush, nnd a mask left behind iu the house of death gradually assumed bis features. In tbe midst of this struggle the New YearV chorus, like distant anthems flowed from the spires, His emotionsrsoftened. He glanced all along the horizon nnd over the wide earth; he , thought of the com panions of his youth that were now hap pier and otter tbau himself. "Oh, I would,', like you, bavo passed away tha New Year's night iujsweet slumber. If I bad been willing! Alas, I would be hap py, dear pureuts, if I bad followed your advice." Iu the feverish remembrance of the days of his youth, it appeared to hiin as If the musk in the honse.of death raised itself and changed iuto a youth, ruled by the superstition that looks, on New Year's night, for visions of their future. Hi oould endnre the sight uo lunger; bo covered bis eyes and a thousand burning tears melted 'thesnow; he, could only utter tbenlow, comfortless sigh, "Itetutu youth, return!" And it returned; for be bad only dreamed. He was still it youth only bisj errors bad not been a dream. Bat be thanked Godjthat he, but a youth could still turn awayj.fromthe road of vice, and re-euUr the snnny path that leads into thelands of harvests. Itsturn with him, young man, if you have fol lowed his tvil ways! This fearful dream will be your judge; but it at some futute timo you should exclaim pitifully: "Re turn, beautiful days of my youth!" they never can return. A RELIC OP THE WAR, The following bit of literature, written to relieve camp-life, has just come again to life. It is called "Chronicles of the Kansas First:" 1.
