A EISINQ TIDE'
The West wind clears the morning,
The ecu shines silver-grov;
Tho night was long, hut fresh nnd strong
But awakes tho breezy day;
Like sinoko that Dies across tho lift,
Tho clouds aro faint and thin;
Ami near aud far, along tho bar,
Tho lido comes creeping in.
Tho dreams of midnight showed mo
A lifo of loneliness,
A slony shore, that knew no mors
The bright wnve's soft caress;
The morning broke, tho vision's fled
With down new hopes begin;
Tho light is sweet, and at my feet
The tide conies rolling in.
Oyer tho bare, black boulders
The ocean sweeps and swells;
Oh, waters wide, yo como to hido
Dull stones and empty shells;
I hear the Hoods lift up their voico
With loud triumphant din;
Sud dreams depart rest doubting heart,
The tide conies foaming in I
The Doctor's Story.
Late ono afternoon. !n tho antnmn of
1815, on returning to my office after vis
iting some patients, I fouhd this cote
lying on my table:
Dit. James: Will you do mo tho favor
to coll nt my office this evening belore
retiring? I have something of importance
to communicate. Yours truly,
J. L. Gaiihehon, II. D.
Abont 7 o'clock I finished my business
for the evening and knocked ut tbo doc
tor's door.
A voice bid mo enter. I opened the
door. Tho shutters were closed, nnd
theie was n lamp burning on the table.
Tho doctor wns standing near the door,
with his bands placed behind him.
I went in. As I wus turning nronnd
to close the door I received a heavy blow
from behind, which stunned mo; thongh
I seem to have a faint recollection of tho
doctor's "turning tho key in tho door, una
then binding me.
Bo that as it may,1 however, I know
when I recovered I wns bound hand and
foot, and so tightly that I could not slir.
while I was securely cacged by a large
bauqkerchief being stuffed in my month
and then firmly lied behind my neck.
"You have nothing to fpar.Dr Jamc,"
snid tho doctor, who had taken a sent
n -ar the table, while he bad placed me
on a chair near tho door; ! meditnted
no harm to yon. 1 am sorry I was com
pelled to hurt you, but I- had nootber
method of accotubliitbiDKmy object.-1
have a confession to make toJuigbt.
The confession must not be told 'till I
am dead. After the confession I intend
to baug myself. The door will be broke
in in the morning, nnd yon will be re
leased. This will explain n conduct
toward you this evening.
"l'on have known me, I believe, for
about three years. You have heard me
spoken of as a strange man; yon think
I am a atrange man. When you have
beard my story you will know what
mnde me so.
"Jly father's' money placod tno in 11
respeotnble position ns a doctor in ono
of onr large Southern cities. Iu a short
time I had gained quite an extensive
practice.
With one of the families that I came
in contact with dwelt n yonug woman
named Laura Moye r. She was employed
as a governess, bnt her beauty aud
other attractive qualities won for her a
placo in the hearts of those with whom
she resided, and she was treated more as
a daughter than a governess of their
children.
"Though my social position placed me
far above hers, still love made us equal,
and finally I proposed to her and was
accepted.
'Mr family were greatly against this
alliance. Prom the moment of our mar
riago my father disowned me.
"My pracllco was good and we suc
ceeded in keeping up an appearance of
wealth. Jly wife's beauty and attrac
tions drew many of the elite of the city
to our bouse.
'One of tho many visitors was a young
man named Larue. lie bad nil the
qualities that charm tbo female sex
yonng, handsome, witty, with a dash of
mystery about him, and a thorough man
of tbe world,
"I don't think I am naturally jealous,
but 1 saw so many things between Larne
and my wife that would have aroused
tbe suspicions of tbe most confiding bus
band living.
"To gefmy wife from the influence of
Larue I relinquished tbe extensive prac
tice I bad gained by sKill and industry,
and carao here to Philadelphia.
"Wo bad been living here perhaps
three months. I had put forth my great
est energies, and succeeded very well iu
getting patients, My wife seemed to
turn to her allegiance to me, and I
thought I bad a full store of happiness
before me, wben one day, on returning
to my home, I surprised my wife again
iu tbe arms of Lame.
"I was overwhelmed with passion. I

threatened to l;tll bim on tbe spot If ho
didn't leave my bonso. lie bad the ad
vantage by bis impertnrbablo coolness
and bo nnswered mj threats witb insol
enco. IIo left tho bouse, promising to
call again when ho telt pleased to do so
"I suspected tho lovers would bavo n.
stolen interview that evening, as they
knew I would be absent. But I bad do
termlued to slay at homo unknown to
them and watch.
"My suspicions were correct. I beard
Larue come In. Tbuv went into tho
parlor. Silently I crept into an adjoin
ing room, nnd through the key-bole
watched thorn, t beard nil that was
said and done. They were planning an
elopement.
"My wife proposed bavins ri little
snpper, nnd I knew tbey would use
wine. I procured a bottle nnd drngged
it, then placed it 111 a conspicuous po
sition. Tho bottle of wino was use J,
nnd the lovers were soon, witb their
arms entwined, locked in tbe embrace of
sleep.
"Tbe rest wan soon done. My first
Bt?p was to bind their nrms securely,
then, with a rope, I strangled them as
tbey sat locked in each other s nrms.
"I partly understood the art of em
balming, It was my only chance to es
cape detection. I put my skill to work,
and before morning I bad tho bodies
embalmed nnd bid.
''The next day I informed the neigh
bors that my wife had fled, and I expect
ed she had eloped with Larue. I was
believed. My character placed mo above
suspicion."
Hero tbo doctor censed speaking, nnd,
taking n pen and paper, wrote for a con
siderable time, He then scaled tbo pa
per, nnd lnyiug it on tho table, said:
That paper fiuishes tho story, togeth
er with instructions I wish obeyed. I
seo you position is painful, but there can
be no help till morning."
He then bade mo good-by, telling me
X should never seu bim ngaiu alive.
I managed to get on tbe floor, and lay
there till morning. I don't know how
many hours I remained awuke snlfering
with my cramped position, but nt last
sleep came to mo, and I slspt till I was
awakened by tho noise of brenking in tbe
door.
The note the doctor had left told ns
tho bodies wero couco..led in a chimney
that wus walled up, aud that bis body
would bo found in tbe garret. We found
tho bodies where tho doctor bad indicat
ed, aud ho was found banging iu tbe
giriot. His wishes were complied with
to tho letter- his parents coming on and
taking charge of Ihe bodies.
"Ill THE DEVIL'S NAME."
Early iu tho morning of n severe win
ter Jay the concierge of 11 very high nnd
narrow dwelling in tbe ncighborhobd of
St Madeleine's, Paris, was disturbed
by the sudden violent ringing of the
d6or bell.
Monsieur Jean Joyeuse made nn obeis-
ance as he saw before him a gentleman
ot fine presence, who was the possessor
of a head of remarkably black hair.
"Thero is n room to be let here?"
nsked tbe stranger.
Monsieur Jovcuso assented with an
other bow. The stranger wished to see
the npartment, Jean remarked most
politely that be had three rooms to let
ono m tho first story another in Ihe
second, nnd fl.ill another higher up in
tho mausard.
"Then lead me to tho mansard room."
Monsieur Jean stuttered forth that
the atlio was not titled for such n geutle
mau. The stronger made an impatient ges
ture, nnd said shortly:
"Prepare tbe room, nnd in tbo course
of the forenoon I will move in,"
With these words he drew forth his
purse nnd gave n napoleon ns earnest
money. Jean then saw bim enter nn
equipage near tho church nnd rattle
nway.
Monsieur and Mddamo Joyeuse bad
ample leisure in tbe succeeding hours,
which they devotod to tbe cleaning of
tbe garret room. This was hardly ac
complished ns tbe mysterious stranger
drove up, accompanied by a strvant.
Tho latter carried n gloomy looking
black casket, resembling a child's ccfliu
iu size and shape. Tho stranger said,
abruptly:
"Mousieur Jenu.you aro to admit only
one gentleman to see me."
"Very well, sir; but how am I to know
him?"
"By tbe countcrsicu: 'In tho devil's
name?' "
Tbe worthy conjugal pair bad hardly
recovered from their fright wben tbe bell
jingled again, nnd a Becond strangeV ap
peared, n mt,n of most lowering aspect,
with dark glances aud still darker busby
eyebrows.
"Did a gentleman move in hero to
day?" "Yes; but be receives no one."
"IIo will receive me, Let me In, I
come in tbe devil's name!"
Thereupon tbo di6mal guest vanished
likswise. From now on these two tbe
lodger who did not make this bis sleep
ing and tbe devil's ambassador met
each morning at a certain hour in Mad
ame Jean's house, shut tbe door of the
mansard room behind them, and at 6 o'
clock in th9 afternoon departed, to meet
again in the morning, Monsieur and
Madame Joyeuse did their best to dis
cover tbe clandestine practices of these
dangerous mon, They listened by torus
at the door, but could bear nothing buV
godless songs, which re-echoed from tbe
mansard walls. Tbey endured this for
six weeks. One day, when there was a
pause in the singing, tbe porter caught
np a few crumbs of tbe conversation,
"Courage! Courage!" Jean beard one
say. He recognized bis lodger's voice,
"But It is so hard to play tbe devil!"
said the other.
"But only consider bow effective it Is,
Live and Let Live."
PA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1884.
especially where you call tho dead from
thoir graves nnd then tbe summons tn
Satan nnd bis host, and tho answer from
the chorus of assembled devils "
Monsieur Joyeuse had beard enough.
Tho villains ahonld cot make bis bouse
n den of evil. The police must bo In
formed immediately. Tho commissalro
heard Monsieur Jean's horrible recital
with amazement. He, with two con
stables, was soon upon tbo scene.
"In the namo of the king, open!" de.
manded tho commissairc.
The door was immediately thrown
open.
"What is your name? Who ore you?'
VUIacomo Meyerbeer.''
"And you?"
"Lnvasseur, the first bnss of tho grand
opera.
The commissalro at occa divined the
truth, but he nsked what they were
practicing.
"Wo are studying tbo role of Bertram
in 'Hubert tho Devil,' a new opera which
will soon bo produced. In order to be
undisturbed I rented this garret room,"
nnswered Meyerbeer, smiling.
"But tho coffin! tho coffin!" cried
Monsieur Joyeuse, still Incredulous.
The two musicians laughed nloud.
"A simple violln-oise," said tho com
poser, gazing with amazement on tbe
looks of poor Jenn.
"You are a blockhead!'' said the com-
missairo to tbe disconcerted jacitor.and,
turning, bo begged most humbly to be
pardoned bis intrusion. Then be with
drew.
A conplo of weeks nftcr Monsier nnd
Madame Joyeuso had, through the gift
of a couple of tickets, the pleasure of
witnessing tbe first representation of the
famous composer.
NEARER HOME.
A sweet, sweet, thought invades my mind
This eve, as 'mid the fading light
I feel tlio busy cares of day
Subside before the peace of night.
Tis this: us sure as speeds tho eliip
Across the ocean's crested foam:
By just the journey of a day
I'm nearer home, I'm nearer home.
And further from all, pain or care,
From cycry human fear or cross,
Much less to know of woe and tears,
Or tsslo tbo cup of earthly dross.
Thro' many ills I've struggled on,
And past the wayside's dusty loam,
By just U10 journey of a day
I'm nearer home, I'm nearer home.
And, oh, tho rapture that it brings
To know I'm nearer my waitiug crown,
And closer to my father's feet,
Whero earth's burden's aro laid downl
And now the night shade drifts athwart
Tho splendor of von sunset dome.
And by tbo iourney of 0 day
I'm nearer homo, I'm nearer home.
JEALOUS.
"I shall never call her sister while I
live!-'
Minnie Appleton bit her cherry-red
lip, while the deep color mounted to her
brow. Mrs. Appleton looked grieved
nnd perplexed.
''IIo A" delighted wo should all have
been if Harry bad only fancied dear
llosalind!"
"Hushl" said Mrs. Appleton, glnuc
ing ttwnrd tho door; "thero sbo comes
now.''
"Oh, Rosalind!" criod Minnie, receiv
ing her, as the French my, nvee effusion,
bow glad I am to see you! Wo wero
just talking about about the girl Harry
is so infatuated with !''
'Yes' said Rosalind, straightening up
her tall fisurei "I have gleaned n fact or
two about Miss Evelyn Austnetber, which
may undoubtedly surprise sorao of her
admirers. You aro aware, I suppose,
where sbo lives?-'
"In Merrigrove. street," Bald Minnie,
shrugging her shoulders.
"Well, it happens that my dressmaker
lives directly oppos He; and I was there
last night, at just nbout dusk, having a
dress fitted. Well, ns I sat by the win
dow walling for her to baste together the
seams of a sleeve, I saw Miss Evelyn
come out dresbed like a nun, iu n black
cloak, with her face closely veiled; nnd
at tbo corner of tbe street a gentleman
who was leaning against ft lamp-post,
steps forward, ns tine as Prince Albert,
aud offers her bis arm, and oil tbey go
together! Mnio. Laplace saw me looking
at them, and says she; "Ob, yes: that
proceeding is gone through every night
In tbe week. She always goes for a walk
wljh bim at this hour, rain or shine, and
it is niter dark before they return."
N 0 sooner bad Miss Adderley taken
ber leave than Minnie flew down to
Harry's room to impart to bim tbe start
ling tiaings she had just received.
"Nonsense," said Harry Appletou.con
temptuously, "llosaliud Adderloy is a
malicious scandal-monger, and you aro
fools for listening to her gossip. What
should my Evelyn be doing at that time
of night in tbe Btreet.
"That's just the very question, Harry,"
cried Minuie. "Will you believe your
own eyes? Will you go to Mme. Lap
lace's this evening and see for yoursell?"
"To satisfy you, I will go," be said,
coldly.
Mme. Eugenie Laplace's rooms were
growing dark, although it was still light
out of doors, wben tbe tall, stately gen
tleman called after tbe "lace basqulne,"
which happened, rather singularly, cot
to be quite completed.
"If monsieur will but wait a brief
while," apologized madam, drawfng for
ward a cbair by the window.
And witb strained eye, and a heart
which seemed to stand still in bis breast,
Harry Appleton beheld the slender figure
of Evelyn Austnetber.not to be mistaken
in ils exquisite proportions and graceful
motion, emerge from tbe opposite door
way; hasten down tbe Btreet, aud finally
join a figure at the corner, who offered
bis arm nnd led ber away, both walking
rapidly..
$1.00
Harry left tho apartment, resolutely
striding ncross the street nnd ringing the
door-bell.
"Miss Austnether is not nt home, sir,"
snld tbo astonished servant-maid, who
was unaccustomed to seo Mr, Appleton
there at that time.
"I will come in and wait until she re
turns," briefly responded Mr. Appleton,
Tbo minutes passed nway like hours,
as Mr. Appleton paced restlessly up nnd
down tbo room, waiting for Evelyn Aust
nether to return, in order that be might
give her back ber plighted troth once
nnd forever.
Tho mantel clock struck 7 as she on

ply.
,'How strangely you speak! What has
happened?" she questioned iu startling
accents.

to bid you ipod-bye forever. Ono who
goes night alter night to meet nn np
pontuient with some stranger, without

manded. And be told her all. She listened in

band of your sister and Miss Adderley. I
knew sho was watching us, but I never
dreamed she had the will or power to
work evil like this."
"Then you can explain it?" eagerly
asked Appleton.
"I would have told yon nbout it Harry,
long ago, bad it not seemed like foolish
nnd vain glorious boasting. I go every
evening an hour to poor little lame Bes
sie Warden, who has a voice liko an an
gel, but whoso poverty will not allow of
its being cultivated; I have given her
lessons for a month to qualify ber for
becoming a teacher of music."
"And tho gentleman?"
"I should think you would have recog-
eized my brother Charley, who comes
from his office ns far as the corner to
meet me, and escorts me there, calling
for mo afterward. Oh, Harry, could
you not have trnsted me so far?"
Hnrry-folded ber to his breast.
"Evelyn, darling, can you ever for
give me?"
Yon are already forgiven," sho said
lightly. "But, oh, Harry, this must be
the last time you are ever jealous, either
as lover or husband."
"I shouldu't bavo been bo now," be
nnswered, "if it hadn't been for that ser
pent, Rosalind Adderloy."
