I can not, can not toy
Out of my bruised and breaking heart
Storm driven nlons; a thorn-set way,
Wlulo bloods drops stirls
From every poro ns I drig on
"Thy will, 0 God, bo done!"
I thought but yesterday,
My will was one with God's clear will;
And that it would be sweet to cay
Whatever ill
My happy stnlo should smile
"Thy will, my God, bo donel"
But I was weak and wronj,
Holh weak of soul and-wrong of heart
And pride alone in mo was strong,
Willi cunning art
To cheat mo in Iho golden sun,
To say, "God's will bo dontl"
O shallow, drear and cold,
That frights mo out of foolish pride,
O Hood, that through my bo9om rolled
Its billowy title
I said, till yo your power mako known,
"God's will, not umic, bo donel"
Now faint and sore afraid,
Under my eras heavy and rude
My idols In tho ashes laid,
Like ashes strewed,
"Tho holy words my palo lips sbun,
"O God, Thy will bo donel"
Tity my woes, O God!
And touch my will with Thy warm
breath;
Put In my trembling hand Thy Ti-i,
That quickens death;
That my di-ad faith may feel Thy sun,
And suy, "Thy will be dontl"

CORA, THE FLOWER GIRL
Joseph Thorn was a noble young man,
generous to a fault. Ono knowiug him
would respect and admire such a man.
Ono evening ho wended bis way to
Artley brtar, wliero bo Baw pretty Cora
Dean, the flower girl.
"Why, Cora, bow is tbis the flowers
only half sold?'
"Yes," replied Corn, "nud I nm about
getting tired;'' biit rallying, she smiled
patiently. Joseph, waiting n few mo
ments, saw a paity of his friends np.
proncbing, nnd quietly taking Com'h
Iray with the "button-holes," jokingly
called out to them: "No one ndmitcd lo
tbo festival without n 'button-hole.'"
Tbo young folks langhinRly gathered
about tho stall, and in a few moments
the flowers wero all sold.
Joseph accompanied Cam home, and,
leaving her at tho door, returned to the
festival; but. although many bright eyes
nud fair faces were turned to him, his
thoughts uud heart were tnonopeliztd by
tbo pretty flower girl.
"Joseph, where havo yon been spend
ing your evenings lately?" asked Mrs.
Thorn.
'Why why motbei, I I lovo Corn
Dean."'
"What, Ihe flower gitl of Artley Ba
zaar?" "The same, mother."
Mrs. Thorn was not foolish enough to
unnecessarily blight her son's pro.-rects
und cause him nnbappinetn throughout
life, but wanted him not to be mistaken
in taking n step tbat would have the
samo result. That evening, heavily
Tailed, Mrs. Tnoru went to the bazaar,
und, stopping at Cora's stall, pricod the
flowers, thus tugaging Cora iu conversa
tion,
"No wonder the boy has fallen iu love
with tbo girl," inwardly said Mrs. Thotu,
"lor shu is so beautiful. 1 nm In lnv
with her myeelU''
So charmed was Mrs. Thorn that she
could hardly forbear declaring her iden
tity. Joseph went one cveumg the fol-
lowing week to Cora's stall, but no Cora
was there. Ha weut lo her home nud
found her, but thought her cool iu re
ceiving him. Mrs. Dean welcomed him
very cordially and tulked volubly.
"Mr. Joseph." said she, "jve have
some good tows to rtlato to you. Com
has bad $30,000 settled ou her l an
uuelo in Austialia!" Toor Joseph's heart
sank. Now ho kuew why the flower girl
was so cool. Rich, she would want a
mnte the same, and thus rensoniug he
took up his hat lo go. Ho felt that this
perhaps, wus the last time ho vould see
her, as money made the galf that would
separate them,
"Good-by, Cor.il" said he. sadly.
"Good-by. Joseph!" and ns the gentle
girl took bis proflvrt-d bund be felt her
own tremble, and l is peut-up feelings
could no longer be restrained,
"Wo shall not see each other ngaiu,
now, Cora!"
."Why not, Joseph?"
"Cora, benr me," be broke ont desper
ately. "I lovo you! Can I hope ever lo
win you aud your love, your bean?"
Cora placed both her bands in his and
replied:
"Joseph. I Jove you nbovoall things in
this world!" Ho caught ber iu his arms;
then uud there he gave her the first kiss,
and that was their betrothal.
Rut one thing remained to complete
Joseph's happiness bis mother's con.
seut. Upon his arrival bome.be asked
Mrs. Thorn lor a few minutes' conversa
tion. She smilingly granted the request,
for she knew what was coming,
"Mother, I have asked Cora lo be my
wife, nnd she has conseuted. Can I hope
for your approval?"
"Dear Joseph, Ibat I giye you willing
ly, for I know you will be happy with
Cora. Her family and ours were, some
years ago, great friends, a fact which I
have recently disooveretV'
"Cora has bad $50,000 made over to
bcr by a wtaltny nude," said Joseph.
"Well, really, that is agreeable news,
but, my Bon, Cora herself is worth ten
times the money. She is a charming
girl and will make your life a happy
one.''

'You are an early riser, are you?'' said
Mrs. Brown to Mrs. Jones.

PA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1884.
THE INVISIBLE HAM).
It is now about seven years ago since
the announcement appeared in n looal
paper that Sluiflou villa, a most deslri.
bio, excellently ventilated, nnd advan
tageously situated residence, was to be
let. I had loug been in search of a enit-
nbio bouse for myself and my family.
The preliminaries wero arranged, aud
iu due time we were installed iu our new
home.
After about a week's sojourn, however.
we learned for tbo first time sinca taking
onr new residence that it bore Iho repu
t.ition of being bauuted.
A former proprietor bo ran (be story
among tbo ignorant yillngers bad snr
prised his daughter one evening inditing
A loviug epistlo to the son of his euemv
bad seizsd it over ber shoulder, and, nf.
ler rending it, bad compelled her lo
write another, appointing it meeting in
that room tbat very night. Providing
himself with n pistol the eur.iged father
himself met tho young lover, nud, after
bestowing upon him many hot word
prtsented n loaded revolver nt Ihojoung
man s breast. Tbis probably wn3 don
ouly to intimittato tho bero, but at tbat
very momeut the door was flung opeu by
his daughter, who, taking in tho terrible
"silunllon nt a glance, cast herself udou
tho form of her lover.
This seems to bnvo turned tbo father's
waveriug purpose into a fixed determine
atiou- 'At nuy rate, whether from ncci
dent or desigh, tho pistol went off, nnd
before tho wretched mau's gazo tha next
moment wero the dying forma of bis
daughter and bis enemy's son. Casting
himself wildly before them iu pnssionato
grief, the terror-stricken father besought
forgiveness. It wus too lale. No word
escaped their cold lips, nud ere he could
summon assistance ho felt upon his brow
tho brand of Cain.
That night the master of the house
disappeared, nnd Borne fishermen, row
ing on the rivor tho following morning,
discovered the body floating down with
Ihe tide.
I was Bitting, at 11:30 one night in the
latter part of February, in Ibo very room
iu which the terrible deed was said to
bnvo been enacted.
My wri'Iug a philosophical treatise
that I was preparing for n quarterly ro
view was (spread out on the tnbde before
me, nnd I bad leaned back upon my
chair in a futile endeavor to get again
into n tram oftliouaht, my ejes mean-
lime beiug botit listlessly upon the pa
per. It was while gazing thus that, to
my utter astonishment, I beheld the
sheets slowly rise from the tablo and
tnnyo forward iu tbo direction of my
shoulder ns if drawn there from behind
me by some invisible baud.
Iiy.a great effort of will I pushed back
the chair aud rne from my seat, and tho
paper ns I did s fell silently upon the
tab!?, I drew my houdkei chief from
my pocket und wiped my forehead nud
to w here tbo lump burned to turn it up.
As I did so my gaze dropped to thechuir
I had just qntttod, aud behind it I saw,
with the utmost vividness, tha outline of
ti human form.
Tbo features, as I looked, became
plainly visible nud wero tboso of tho
picture ou tho wall. Transfixed to the
spot, my hand resting upon tho lamp,
unable, lo move it up, I watched the
counteuatico of tne figuro nnd saw that
it was convulsed with rage nnd surprise.
l or a moment I tbnucht a fearful gze
was fixed ou mo, when its baud blowly
roso nud was shaken furiously nt some
invisible object, apparently in the seat I
bid left. Tho expression next changed
to one of intense nmlico aud anticipated
revenge, nud the forefinger pointed to
tho paper on the table.
Suddenly a frightful chaugo passed
over the distorted features, and I beheld
written upon them nn if it bad been
stamped in legible Utters tbo word
"Murder." The figuro wrung Its bands
witbi look of unspeakable URony, aud
to my horror was stealthily turning its
eyes full upou me. when the lamp, which
up to now had been burning low, sud
denly weut out and left mo in total
darkuess.
Iu less than a week onr excellently
situated nud enviable residence had lost
its teuauts, aud we were numbered
among tbo pnuic-strickeu occupiers of
the past. Mauy timet alter our depar
ture I read that SLiultou villa was to be
let. lint the last time the announco
nieut was varied. Through the medium
of the same local paper, n paragraph In.
formed me thatShuftou villa was to be
polled down nnd a church erected on the
site out of tho bounty of a lately de
ceased lord of tho manor.
A HUSBANDTOO MANY.
One morning seven years ago Jacques
Torcy, the clever speculator, the mau of
fashion, was found dead iu bis bed at
bis country seut big brains scattered
over bis pillow. At first it was believed
that be bad been assassinated. The
bouse was deserted, being uninhabited

to look for some account-books which be

was a gardener, who lived iu an isolated
building,
But on the rxamiuatlou of the books

bad a bauking home iu the Hue Lifitte,
it was evident he bad committed suicide.
He was completely ruined; even tbo
dowry of his wife bad been swallqwed
np. He bad not wished to survive the
disaster.
No one was surprised two years later
when the young widow married again.

lY a doyico formed before bis dealb by
tuilortuuato Torcy, who wished to bare
bis widow receive a letter that would
persuade ber tbat ho wus still alive, and
thus keep ber from weeping?
Bnt tbo suicide? tho corpse? the bur
ial? Alas! tbo letter answered all.
Through the co-upllclty of n grave
digger of tbe village bo was assured of
tbe early death of n man of IU slature
aud complexion and tiVent which hud
been awaited for several months; and
when the grave-dlfger npprhed him of
the long expected death, ho proceeded to
file bis Echedulo.
That night bo disposed in bis
own bed bis corpse, which had been
carefully dibinterred, When be had ar
ranged it be fired two pistol shots In tho
dead man's face, completely dUUguring
it. Then. Ihe "suicide'' having been nc
complhbod in tho deserted house, ho
made bis escape, taking with him only
enough money to dfray his traveling
expanses, aud went to try his furtuno in
America.
At last he bad become wenllhy, two or
three times ns wealthy as he had former
ly been; ba was about to return to pay
bis creditors, capital und interest, to ro
habilitate himself; nnd now, ns be was
freed Irom anxiety, ho wculd havo time
to devote himself la domestic happiuess
with bis dear little wife who be bciiov-
ed hud not remarried.
Tho first thought of tbo second bus
band was to go to tbe first and kill him,
since be bua dared to rise from his legal
tomb under tbo pretext that bo was not
dead.
"No, no, not thai!" cried Mmc. de
Boar.lieu, with terror.
"Does be not come to tako my bappi
ness from mt?"
"He has not the right lo do so."
"Our marriago is void; bis is not."
"Onr marriago void nnd our child

"Ah, onr children! our cbildrcnl"

Is complicated wilh the violation of a

M. Torcy on bis own confession, can bo
made answerable for tbo crime. A di

the meantime will be considered pro

It appears, according to tbo latest
news received from M. Toroy, that ho is
ranigned to this nrrnngemeut. Ho ii not
cotniug hack to Franco. He will allow
the divorco to booblniued, nnd nil the
more willingly, as ho has been nblo to
maintain silence for seven year nnd not
write to bis wife. Iu making bis pre

cessary for him to end nn iutimacy with

freed from all domestic obligations iu

"What's dat, sab?"

OILHOOLY'S DISCOVERY.
Texas Siltluga: There were some fresh

of tbo Widow Flapjack, ou Austin Ave

open.
'Well," baid he.drauingadeep breath,
"the longer I live tbe more I find out."
"What new discovery have you made
now?" asked Mrs. Flapjaok, nervously.
'The rolls are new, are they not?'
'Certainly they arj."
'Then I have made n discovery. Did
you know lira. Flapjack, that the cock
roach bad a talent for theatricals?''
"No, indeed, I did not. You are so
funny this morning."
I am not joking a bit. Here Is a
cockroach tbat has put in an appearance
n an cutirely new role," and be held
the insect up for tbe inspection of tbe
boarders.
A HARD DEATH.
"Did tbe remains indicate in any way
that the mau died bard?" asked the
coroner.
"Yes, sir.''
"You noted signs of a struggle, did
you something tending to show that
the poor fellow defended himself;"
"No, sir."
"What reason, tben, have you for

"Because when I found him he was
frozen solid."

Tho Printer's Devil.
Tho following is going the routds
without credit: "Though nu angel
should write, still 'tin devils must print,"
wrote Moore. Tho origin of tbo ex
pression pnuter'd devil," is a curious
one. Aldus Miuutius, a printer iu
Venice to tho hrly cburch'nnd the doge,
employed n negro boy to help him iu
his olhco. The little darkey was thought
to be nn Imp ofsatiu, aud went by Ihe
nntna of the "printer's devil." Maun-
tinsiu order to protect tbo little fellow
from prosecntiou, was obliged to make a
public exhibition of him, and unnouucod
tbat "nay ona who doubted him to be
flesh nnd blood, might come forward
nnd pinch him." Sinco that dav n
printer's opprentica has b6en called, nud
ofteu appropriately, "a devil."
