already whippet half of Ihe rascals out or

believes It to bo the best uiagailnc ofgenernl

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard
BV THOMAS GRAY.
Tho curfew lolls the knell of parting ilay )
Tho lowing Itord winds slowlyo'er the lea,
Tho plougliiuan koniewanl plods his weary
way,
And leaves tho world to darkness and to
- inc.
Now fanes tho glimmering landscape on the
sight,
And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Sayo where tho beetlo wheels his droning
fllgbt,
And drowsy tinkling? lull tho distant fold
Sovo that, from yonder ivy-mantled tower,
The moping owl docs to the moon com.
plain
Of such ns, wanieringnear her secret bower,
Molest her ancient, solitary reign.
Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's
shade,
Where heaves tho lurt in many n mould
ering heap,
Each in li is narrow cell forever laid.
The rude forefathers of tho linmlet sleep
The breezy call of inrenso-breathlng morn,
Tho swallow twittering from tho straw
built shed,
The cock's shrill clarion ,orthe echoing horn,
No mure shall rouse them from their low
ly bed.
For them no more the blazing hearth shall
burn,
Or busy housewife ply her evening care ;
Nor children run to lisp their siro's return,
Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share.
Oft did the harvest lo their sickle yield,
Their furrow oft the stubborn glebo hns
broke j
How jocund did they drive their loom afield I
How bowed tho woods beneath their stur
dy stroke I
Let not ambition mock their useful toil,
Their homely jojs, and destiny obscuro ;
Nor grandeur hear with disdainful smile
The short and Biniple annals of Ihe poor.
The boast of heraldry, tho pomp of power,
And all that beauty, nil that wealth o'er
gave,
Await alike the Inevitable hour ;
Tho paths of glory lenl but to tho grave.
Nor you, ye proud,lmpnte lo these Ihe fault
If memory o'er their tomb no trophies
rolse,
Where, through tho long-drawn aisle and
freUcd vault,
The pealing anthem swells tho note of
praise.
Can sloried urn, or animated bust,
Rack lo itsmansion call the hVetlngbrcath?
Can honor's volco provoko the silent dust,
Or flattery soothe the dull, cold ear of
death?
rerhops in this neglected spot is laid
Some heart onco pregnant with celestial
fire j
Hands that the rod of empire might havo
swayed,
Or waked to ecstasy tho living lyre ;
But knowledge tolheireyes heramplo page
Rich with the spoils of time, did ne'er
unroll ;
Chill penury repressod their noble rage,
And frozo tho genial current of the soul.
Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The ilar!:,uiifatlinmed caves of ocean bearj
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waslo its sweetness on the desert air.
Some village Ifumden, that, with dauntless
breast,
The little tyrant of his fields withstood ;
Some mute,!nslorious Milton hero may rest;
Some Cromwell, guiltless of his country's
blood.
Tho applause of listening senates to com
inand,
The threats of pain nnd ruin tn despise,
To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land,
And read thoir history in a nation's eyes,
Their lot forbade; nor ciicumscrihed alone
Their growing virtues, but tbclr crimes
confined ;
Torbade to wade through slaughter to
throne,
And shut tho gates of mercy on mankind;
The struggling pangs of conscious truth to
hide,
To quench the blusliesnfingenuous shame,
Or heap the sbrlue of luxury and pritlo
With iuceuse kindled at the muse's flame,
Far from tho madding crowd's ignoble strife.
Their sober wishes never learned to stray;
Along the cool, sequestered vnlo of lifo
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way
Yet even these bones from insult tn piotccl,
Some frail memorial still erected nigh,
With uncouth rhymes ami shapeless sculp-
turo decked,
Implores tho passing tribute of a sigh.
Their name, their years, spelt by Ihe unlet
tered muse,
The place of f.imo nnd elegy supply ;
And many a holv text around she strews,
That teach tho rustic moralist to die.
For who, to dumb forgctfiilucs a prey,
This peaslng,anxmus bcingo're resigned,
Left the warm precincts of a cheerful day,
Nor cast one longing, lingering look bo
hind T
On some fond breast tho parting soul relies,
Some pious drops the closing eye requires;
E'en from the tomb the yoiceof Nature cries,
E'en In our ashes live their wonted fires.
For the;, who mindful of the uiilionoretl
dead,
Dost in these lines their artless tale relate;
If chance, by lonely contemplation led,
Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate.
Haply soinehcary-hetilril swain may says
'Oft have we seen him, at the peep of
tlaiio,
Brushing with hasty steps the dews away,
To meet the sun upon the upland lawn.
"There at the foot of yonder nodding beech,
That wreathes its old, fdutattlo roots so
high,
Ills listless length at noontide would he
stretch,
Ami pore upon the brook that babbles by.
"Hard by yon wood.nowsinillngss In scorn,
Muttering his wayward fancies be would

hill,
Along the lieath.nnd near his favorilo tree;
Another came, nor yet beside Hie rill,
Nor up the lawn, nor at tho wood was he;
'The next, with dirges due, In sad array,
Slow through tho church way path wo
saw him bourne;
Approach and read (for thou caust read)

Graved on the stone beneath yon aged

Ucre rests his head upon tho lap of earlh
A youth to fortune and to fame unknown1
Fair sclenre frowned not on his humble
birth,
Ami melancholy marked him for her own.
Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere.
Heaven did a recompense ns largely erud:
He gave to misery (ull he hod) a tear,
Ho gained from heaven ('t was ull he
wished) a friend.
No further feck his merits lo discloo,
Or draw his frailties from their dread

(There thoy alike In trembling hope repose,)

"All right. When will you go?"
"To-night, to-morrow, nny time you
please; but see here,' Dick, to change the
subject, bow about this London busi

Well I suppose we will bave to send
a man to look after it"
'Send!" cried tho old man. "That
won't do nt nil; one or the other of us
mnst go. We've trusted entirely too
much of late, and our homo interests nre
nlmost ns bad ns our foreign. Now,
Dick, I'll tell you what I'll do, If yon

"If you desire it, father. Ill go, cer

"Tbcu that's settled. Where are yon

"I wns goiuj! np to th Astor. but I'll

"All rig'it, Diok, n'l right; only don'

Tint evening Halliday and son repair
ed to tho Axtor House and were una
dueled to one nt tho private j nrlors. In

length they took their deparlure, after
spending u dtlightiul evening, the son
said;
"What do yon say, father?"
"Give mo time, my boy, jive me time."'
was the reply.
The next day but ono DIek started for
London. The weather was fair, tun pa.
sage n prosperous one, nna uo reacnea
his detinalioiit,afo nnd sound, lie found
tho hnfiiH8s li a terrible stato and had
hii binds aud lulud fully occupied, nnd
a week slipped by. Oae morning lio re
ceived a letter from bis father, n portion
of which rau ns follows;
"Concerning the widow. I nm well
pleaied with your choice. She is n good
vomm ns good as beautiful. A trifle
too old for you is my only objectiou."
Another week weut by, and another
letter came, in which, speaking of the
widow, the old man said:
"I am astonished otyour extraodinary

more I Bee the lady tbo better I am
pleased. She is a rooit excellent lady in

seems to be well pleased, nnd I gutsi by
the time I got homo lib only objection
will havo been overcome, Not that I
otro a straw for bis ppiuiou one way or
the other, but peace is preferable to war
nt nny lime."
And, Inking n pictnro of the widow
from his pockt, ho embraced it most af
fectionately. So be rcui-iiuoJ ai-o'ber week nnd did
Loudon thoroughly. On the tlay beforo
be wns to havu s.ulsd for home he re
o. ived another letter from hit futLcr,
saying:
'My Dear. Ilor. I never was more
pleased with n wonnu in nil my life. She
i an angel, I dou't woi djr at your lov
ing her. She is pnre.boues1, everything
,u lmaglue lur to be, but sue ciia nev

Tlio truth is, Dick, sho his lcmne my
wire. Unit t be u fool now, but come nt
one--. A trine to old was my only ob
jection.
'Your nlleclionnto inlbcr,
HicHAitD Halliday."
To say that Dick was enrigul would
but faintly describe his feelings; he fair
ly boiled. He wrote immediately to hi
lather, tUUus bloi:
Iu Ibe future your foreign business
may go to tho d 1 nud your home in
terests too."
Then, ufler ornwlng n good sum of
money, he depart! d for tho continent.
Fur two years he wandered from place
to pi ice, nnd at the end of that time ho
found himself in 1 rii. Here ho fortu
nately fell iu with nn n"qnatutaucQ he
hnd made whilo in London, and who had
Bince married andjnas theul doing busi
ness in Paris.
At bis friend's house one- evening ho
was introduced to a young American
ady, of wbomho becamo enamored nt
first sight.
Trie young lady, Miss Julia Kenlridgo
by name, was to start for Now York in n
few days, and on hearing this Dick en
gaged passage ou tho same Bteamer. Tho
voypgo wns a pleasant'one, nnd before
thoy arrived'at Snndy Hook Miss Julia
bnd promised that, with her mother's
consent, she would become Dick's wife.
When they reached' the city tho young
lady found n carriage injwniting for her,
nnd Dick, having determined not.to en
ter his father's bouse, for the time be
ing at least, went direct to an obscure
hotel.
Tho next day ho mounted the steps of
the Madison avenue mnnxion nnd rang
tho bell. A scrvaut ushered him into tho
parlor, nnd shortly afterward entered
Miss Kenlridgo.
When they bad greeted each other
after the usual manner ofovers, Julia
said.
"If you will excuse mo for n moment,
Itiohard.I will go nnd inform my mother
that you have come.
Dick was seated under n window.Iook-
ing out, nnd did not notice her return
till she said:
"Mr. Hulliday, allow me to -"
Dick had turned nt tho sound of her
voice, ready to appear nt his best, 'tit lie
staggered back fairly thunderstruck, for
there'behiud her stood tho late widow
his father's wife.
'I really " ho gasped, "I that is, I
did not "
Of course yon did not," said the lady
helping him out. "How could you?
But here is yonr lather."
"Yes, here I nm, Dick, my boy," said
the old gentleman, rushing in, "How
are you, lad, how nre you J"
They shook hands cordially, nnd the
old man said:
"Dick, my Ud, you'ro trapped you're
ensnared. My wife nnd I were iu Pari
to bring Julia home, nnd when she told
us of hermeetiug with you wo just put
uur heads together to mako n in itch of
it. Wi ciuio over with you.ou the samo
steamer."
"Keally, though," said Dick, address
iug his step-mother, "when I heard you
sp -nking of your daughter beiug ntoohool
I imagined her to be a little girl, Lot n
young In-y."
"Ob, no! I was married to Mr. Kent
ridge when qnlto on njr, nud Julia is
now 19." ,
"I've mo obj otion tbis timo,lad,noue at
all, A triflj too old was my only objec
tion bofure, you know, bu! ha!" and bo
weut off in a lit of laughter that nearly
choked hint.
After dinner the old gentleman said
"Well, Dick, our foreign business is
goiug to tbo bad, sure enough, and
think the best thing you can do is to
marry at tnceand take your bride abroad
and look after it. I did not sell the old
bouse wheti I bought this one, and upon
your return I will have it ready for jou
to occupy."
And thus it was arranged.

flourishes, and tho children, grsud chil

says that about two years ago his wife began
proceedings for a divorce. It wns tbo old
story on impulsive courtship, a happy
marriogo and a gradual estrangement. Mr.
Bunnell made no opposition to tho proceed
ings and soon aflerwarda the divorce was'
granted, Mrs. Bunnell kept the only child,
a bright boy of seven, and opened a hair
dressing establishment in Port Jcrvis and
this fall went to Philadelphia to llvo with
a sister. Mr. Bunnell, had been employed
ns a commercial traveler by a Curbondala
firm. Tho little boy proved a bond of union
between the two and a correspondence was
opened between them in relation to tho
child, in which many messoges were ex
changed. Finally Mr. Bunnell proposed to
telieve his late wife of the "expense of edu
cating the boy by taking the lad tn tho
home of his grandmother, in Carbondate.
From that place lie weut to Philadelphia.
This of course brought fulhor and mother
together. The result of the interview was
the rekindling of the old love flames. A
reconciliation took place and they resolyod
to again unllo fortunes. Mr. Bunnell re
