ALWAYS LOVE.
Because Love's sight is but a sigh,
Doth it the less Love's heart disclose?
Because the rose must fade and die,
Is it the less the lovely rose?
Because tilack right must shroud the day,
Shall the bravo sun no more be gay?
Because chill autumn frights the birds,
Shall we distrust that spring will come ?
Because sweet words are only words,
Shall love for evermore be dumb?
Because our bliss is flee'.iug bliss.
Shall we who love forbear to kiss?
Because those eyes ot gentle mirth
Must sometimes cease my heart to thrill,
Because the sweetest voice on earth
Sooner or later must be still,
Because its idol is unsure,
Shall my strong love the less endure?
Ah, no 1 let lovets breathe their sighs,
And roses bloom, and music sound,
And passion burn on lips and eyes.
And Pleasure's world go ever round;
Let golden sunshine flood the sky,
And let me love or let nie die!

neath—spreading itself away from the
window of that lonely log cabin, stand
ing there as a solitary witness of hu
man lite in the midst of the wild,
white dreariness ot the plains.
Perhaps the little girl feels this. She
is not old enough to consciously think
it—the little girl with a thin, sallow
face, which somehow suggests fever
and ague, flattened up against the pane,
looking out with a singular alert wist
tulness over the wide, white plains and
through the gushing gusts of snow,
until her gaze touches the gray hori
zon afar oil'.
The winds come in furiously from
the east, like the roaring of tides, or
the trampling of battalions of armed
men, and dash down with tierce roar
itnd cry on the thick clouds of enow
flakes, and hunt and drive them back
and forth, and toss them up in white
flocks, and tear them apart, and ride
back and forth ova r the plains, making
ot the air one vast trumpet through
which they shriek their chorus ot vie
tory.
Inside the cabin, a man's voice asks
suddenly—'Bessie, child, has nobody
come in sight yet?' A man's voice, 1
*aid, and yet struck through and
through with some pain and hollow
uess which raado you feel that its
words were nearly ended.
'-No, father,' answered the little girl,
drawing her thin face away trom the
window, 'there is nothing to be seen
but the blinding snow—'
'Hark! don't you hear something?'
said the hollow voico, breaking in here,
sharp, hungrj*, impatient.
'.No, father; the wind blows and
blows; that is all.'
The tones were those of a girl, but
there was nothing in the low, dreary
voice that was at all like that of girl
liood. Then the speaker turned to the
(ire, placed some fresh wood on the
umbers, and came back to ber watch
by the window; dreary work enough
['or any age, but doubly so to one j
whoso life had not covered its four
teenth suoimer.
Tho room had a generally comfort
less expression. Yet there was uot, af
ter all, so mueh lack of material
as want of care and arrangement dis
cernable throughout the apartment.
On the bed in one corner lay the
owner of the log cabin. One look in
to the shrunken face, the hollow eyes
all lying in that shadow of ashy pallor,
and you would have been certain the
man had laid himself down to die, and
that tho one guest who conies sooner
or later over all thresholds had coine
now to that lonely log cabin out on the!
western plains.
None could know it better than Jo
siah Keep, as he lay there, with the
winter storm howling without, and the
'years ol his life coming up one after
!another, and standing with their sol
emu, reproachful faces before him.
For this man's life had not been a
good one. I cannot go into the details
here of selfishness which had marred,
and passion which had defiled his days;
hut tho end had come now, and the
hard, strong, fierco will had bowed it
self at last before the solemn voices of
conscience echoing amid all the tumult
of his soul, as it glared laee to face
with death.
There vi as one deed of Josiah Keep's
life which somehow troubled him more
than all tho others, and frum it he in
some senso dated the commencement
of his wrong career, although the self
willed, reckless, passionate boyhood
and youth had ripened into the hard,
selfish, defiant manhood.
Here, too, it is sufficient to say that
he had overreached His partner in a
manner which the law conld not take
hold of; he had, to save his own for
tune, completely wrecked tho other's,
and the wrong had not ended there,
it had been the means of driving hn
partner's young wife—a fine sou led,
sensitive woman —to madness and to
her grave.
Afterward Josiah Keep had prosper
LEWISTOWN, MIFFLIN COUNTY, PA-
Ed for years, for 'sentence is not always
executed speedily against an evil
work,' but at last bis goods arid pos
sessions began to fall away from him.
He had passed the meridian of life
when misfortunes overtook him. Then
his wife, and one another of his chil
dren, died. 11l health came upon the
strong man, and the lonely log cabin
on the plains, where he had buried
himself tor a couple of years, and the
one little sallow cheeked daughter on
ly remained of all the brave sons and
fair girls who had called him father, to
tell the rest of the sad story of Josiah
Keep.
In later life, the partner, whose
young manhood he had so cruelly
blighted, had prospered on every hand
—a good man, with a ripe, tender na
ture, full of broad sympathies, such as
one does not often see. Kverybody
said this of Benjamin May.
And two or three weeks before, the
sick man had learned through a neigh
bor that business had brought his lor- i
mcr partner to the town nearest hisi
log cabifi, and only tifiy miles away j
At first it seemed as if the world itself
could not hire him to look in the face |
of one whom ho had so wronged; but
as the end drew near, and remorseful
memories crowded fast upon him, this!
first feeling was superseded by a great
hunger and craving to hear Benjamin
May's voice say that ho forgave him,!
' for God is more merciful than man,'!
thought Josiah Keep.
So, two days before, he had hired a 1
neighbor to go in quest of Benja
min May, desiring the latter to come !
to him, as he hoped for mercy in his
last extremity, and not daring even
then to disclose his real name, lest the 1
old bitterness should rise up in the soul I
of the other, and he would refuse to
grant what he would deny to no other I
man—the prayer of Josiah Keep.
So he lay there, with tfie tide of his!
life going out, and tho lights burning:
low, while the storm shouted fiercely:
outside, and death smd that young girl j
watched by the sick man.
'Bessie,' he called at last, and 6he
was at his side in a moment.
'How sick you do look, father,'
smoothing the iron-gray hair with one;
hand, and looking at him, her small, I
sallow face full of a great pity and
grief, although Bessie Keep had no
idea of that unseen presence just now j
crossing the threshold.
'Bessie, poor little Bessie, what will
become of you?' said the dying man,
looking with a craving tenderness,
which it seemed must have turned
stones to pity*, on the little girl.
Whatsoever his faults had been, lie!
had loved her, the last of his family, j
the delicate, clinging, helpless child, I
who still of all the world clung fast to:
him in unwavering faith and tender ;
ness.
'Ah, never mind me, father dear. Ii
shall get along well enough if you will
only grow better.'
Tears strained themselves into the
child's eyes; she put her check down :
to her father's, and wondered that it
felt so cold, arid drew the coverlet clo
ser around him,.and the storm thun
dered on outside, and the wind flap
ped white banners of snow through
the air, and Josiah Keep lay dying!
Suddenly tho child lifted her head.
'I hear something, father, that is not!
like the wind,' she said; 'it sounds like'
horses' feet,' and she sprang to the
window.
There, eloso at hand, toiling through 1
the boating wind and driving snow, ,
sho saw a sleigh and two occupants. (
The men, worn out and half frozen, (
sprang from tho sleigh just after Bos ,
sie's joyful shriek, that reached them ,
above the howlingof the storm. 'They .
are here ! Oh, father, they are here ! ,
A man a little past his prime, strong j (
and hale, with white hair about a face L
which never left any one who studied j ,
it a doubt of tho heart beneath it, was! c
Benjamin May. ! t
He came up now to the bedside, and j x
with his first glance at the face lying j g
there, tho face droppeJ and drawn in j £
the ashy pallor of death, Benjamin 1 ,
May forgot all the chill and weariness l ,
which had possessed him.
'My frieud, I have como to bear ,
what you have to say,'he answered,
bending tenderly over tho dying man
Josiah Keep looked up into tho face
of tho man he had wronged so vitally
more than a scoro of years ago. l)o j
spito tho cheerful, kiodly countenance,
there were lines there which he had
hoi pod to carvo.
'I)o 3*oll know me?'
Benjamin Ma3 r looked at the ghast
l3 T face. Something familiar struck
him in features. His mem
ory half cleared up, yet he shook his
head. 'No.'
'1 am—Josiah Keep.'
. The listener covered his faco with j
his hands a moment.
'I have sont for 3'ou, Benjamin Ma3 T ,
to hear whether you will look on me, I
l3*ing here, and sa3* you forgive me for |
all the evil I once did 3*ou and 3*ours. ]
I want God's mercy now, and it seems |
to me I cannot lay hold of any hope
for that until L have first had 3*ours.'
It was an awful moment for Benja
min May. All his life long ho had
carried the fire of one bitterness burn
ing down deep in his soul. And now

> grave, feeling that Josiah Keep was
i her murderer, rose up before him. and
his heart throbbed a moment with the
I old fierceness of its youth, i t was but
:ja moment. Then ho looked again on
the face of his ancient enemy, and the
fearful craving of those dying eyes
was something he cou'd not withstand.
'I forgive you the wrong,' said Benja
min May, taking the cold hand in his,
i'and by so much as God's mercy is
greater than mine, may He also for
give you.'
Then there came a swift shriek, as
of a heart suddenly broken, —a swift
shriek along with the last words of
Benjamin May. 'Ah, father, you aro
not going to die, to die and leave mo
in this dreadful world all alone—all
alone !' moaned Bessie Keep
The dying man lifted his head.
'There is no one to whom J can give
the child, Benjamin Promise me that
you will not leave her here to perish,
that you will take her away witli you,
and place her in some orphan asylum*
—promise mc quick, before I die.'
And Benjamin May looked at the
j small, thin tigure, at the sallow faco
within its cloud of bright, brown hair,
and the terrible anguish stamped upon
it moved his soul to its depths.
His sons had grown to be men, bis
one little daughter had followed her
mother home, leaving hiin a memory
|of soft blue eyes, and sweet smiles
j dawning and flitting among dimples,
; to haunt all his after life.
A great pity and tenderness for this
child, ophaned, friendless, beggared,
came over him. Ho put out his arm
and drew him to his breat—he laid
his hand on the bright floating hair.
'Josiah,' he said, '1 will take the
j child to my home—to my heart. She
shall be to me in place of the daughter
j that has gone, and 1 will be to her in
jail things in the stead of her father.'
A smile crept over the ghastly face
! sinking into death. 'Now 1 can bo
: iieve that God will have mercy upon
me. Now, after this, 1 can believe it,'
murmured Josiah Keep; and they were
the last words he ever spoke.
And sobbing and clinging to her new
father, with her face hidden away close
to the heart that would never fail her
in love ar.d care, Bessie Keep had not
dared to look upon the face oi the dead.
But Benjamin May had; and seeing his
j ancient enemy lying low before him,
and remembering the forgiveness lie
had carried out as precious h eight from
the coasts of time to the shores of eter
nity, ho murmured to himself, 'except
ye have the spirit of Christ ye are none
j of his.'
And it was this spirit which Benja
; niin had shown to his ancient enemy.
Iflisccllancous.
Sound >lale Visible.
At the lioyal Institution in London
j recently, according to the London Lan
jcet, Professor Tyndall repeated some
of the interesting experiments by
which he has on previous occasions
given ocular proof of the effects of
sonorous vibrations. When a jet of
I gas is burning under an amount of
pressure which is but just short of tho
'flaring' point, it becomes excessively
sensitive to a momentary increase of
| pressure, and will respond in the read
; iest manner to the slight acute sound,
vibrating actively to the merest 'chir-
I rup' of the lips. A still more remark'
' able demonstration was made with a
thin column of smoke, ot which tho
shadow was cast or. a screen by means
of an electric light; here the smoke
becamo so sensitive that the slightest
vibration of the air affected it, and
two tuning forks making a discord
produced the well known beat, which
was attended bv a marked pulsation
ot the edges of tho shadow. Perhaj s
the most beautiful ocular demonstra
tion of the effect of sound was pro
duced by throwing tho electric light
through a minute stream of falling
water, the effect being to produce a
string of glittering drops of the most
brilliant appearance. When musical
notes were sounded in the vicinity
these drops altered their arrangement
iu obedience to tho waves of sound,
and clearly indicated by their modified
appearance tho effect produced upon
! them.
aSSf'A correspondent writes to a
New Orleans paper: It comes hard
for a young man to walk behind a
plow who once rode behind a fast trot

to make and put on her dresses all by
herself who formerly had a couple of
servants to take these irksome jobs off
her hands. Yet there aro many who
think, and I am one of them, that in
the long run it will be all tho better
for the rising generation of the South
: —a generation which is to follow one
