"Did you know Harris ?" I asked
"Yes, quite ,well. I have known
him three years."
"Of what disposition was he ?"
"Awful paspionate.' I believe he
never forgot an injury. I don't like
to speak ill of the dead, but, to tell
the truth, I never littectlim. He bad
an evil look about him that always
made me distrust hint He Would
stop at nothing to gain his ends."
"Where did he come from ? Is he
a native of this place ?"
"No ; he came from around Parks
town, San Jose county, shunt fifty
miles north of here," answered he.—
lkHe told me the other day that hq,
was going back there in a week or
,two but there was no such a thing
as
,two, him."
"The next morning early I went to
-the scene of the murder. I examined
'the ground carefully,, and I soon
came to the conclusion that no strug
gle had taken plaoe on the spot. It
was all too scientifically laid out
the doers had been cowing, but they
had uverdone their part. The blood
and marks on the earth were merely
blinds. Any acute person could see
that no sti uggle had taken place,and
that the traces were but blinds. I
noticed also, that all the - footprints
had been made by one pair of boots,
and that the heels of these boots had
had nails driven into them in the
shape of a heart ; for in every print
there, the mark was plainly to be
seen. I was satisfied that Miss Em
ory had been carried off Ity Harris ;
so I resolved to proceed thus : To go
to Parkstovrn, Harris' native place,
and make efforts to find him, for I
thought he would most likely have
gone there with her.
I went at once to Mrs. Raynor's
and told her what I intended to do,
and telling her to be of good cheer; I
bade bur farewell, and went to the
hotel. borrowed a seven-shooter
from - ,the land lord, mounted my
horse, and sot off 'lm my uncertain
search.
The close of the first day's ride
brought- me, to a little village, whereil
I stayed all night. The next morning ,
was a beautiful one,and I rode briskl
ly over the prairie until noon, when I!
stopped at a solitary - squatter's cabin'
au d got dinner.
Here I was ilfointed that Parke
town was about twenty-five miles
distant. The prospect was nofinvi-
Ling ; the day, from a. bright and
pleasant one, had became dark and
lowering,, and heavy clouds were
gathering in the sky. r But I deter.
mined to push on. 'The hospitable
squatter gave me many directions as
to the right ,road, ani. mounting my
horse, I rode on nntiteightLill, when
the storm - that-bad long given token
of its coming,.tinist np,on - me iti

"II stains," answered she, and

1 followed her Ingo the next room,
and she drew fable iuto the middle
of the Boor, and spreading a Coarse
cloth on it, went into the outer remm
again. I began to feel rather uneasy
at my situation, for I did not like
the looks of the men. - I examined
my revolver, and determined to be
careful., - - ,
Soon } the woman entered, accompa
nied by the girt,and placed some corn
bread, a plate of fried ham, and some
coffee on the table. I noticed that
the girl. lo ked at me in a peculiar
manner, as if desirous of speaking•to
me. At last, as she poured out the
coffee,. she slipped into my hand a
small piece of paper. She then went
out, and was followed by the woman.
I unfolded the paper, and read the
following :
"Do not touch the coffee ; it is
drugged. You may eat the bread
and meat. These people are robbers,
anti intend - to rob and murder you. I
am kept heie against my will. My
name is Jessie Emory. I Was 'stolen
away from 'my home by 'a man named
Harris. If you will aid me in enga
ing, I *ill contrive to saddle two
horses and tie them outside, and ft
we can once get to them, we are safe,l
We will have to go through the outer
room to escape, for there is only one . 1
door ' Contrive some means to let
mi know whet you intend to do."
I was never so amazed - 1h my life.
Though I had thought it strange to
"see so beautiful a maiden living with
such people as these, yet the thought
that she was the missing Jessie Em
ory had poser crossed my brain. I
tore a sheet from my, note-book, and
wrote these words : .-
"Hive the horses ready, and I will
do my best in aidingyou to • escape."
. I threw the 'dragged coffee into the
ashes, and bearing the . woman com
ing, raised the cup to my lips as if
in the act of emptying it, and set it
on the table just as she entered. She
gave a quick look at the, empty cup,
and I noticed a gleam of satisfaction
flit over her face. I gave her the cup,
and said :
"Year coffee in. Please fill
my cup again." ' „
She called Jessie, and told her to
bring the coffee-pot. She brought it,
and while filling my cup I managed
to slip the note into her hand. She
went out.ith the woman. I dia
posed'of m y fresh coffee in the same
manner es t e first, and finished my
supper, put on my overcoat, driOw a
chair up to the fire, sad waitedlor-
Jessie•to make her appearance. Tbi

seph's strong suit. The iuterpreta ,
tions proved correct.
~ This 'came to
Pharaoh's ears,' after ti- while, and,
most luckily, just - at' the time when
he bad a couple of curious drel:ms
himself, and had run so abort of
dreaming material that he, dreamt
them over again, which astouished
him. Joseph enlightened him. He
said : Sire, your dreams signify
that there are going to be seven
years of extraordinary plenty in
Egypt, and they will be followed by
-a howling famine that will distress
the whole world for full seven years'
Then he closed one eye and looked,
exceedingly shrewd out - of the other,
after the manner of a,man who know
ith that which he is about, and said,
" Behold thou and thy servant can
gather togethec divers and. sun
dry shekels out of this thing ;, let us
bear die Market and buy against the'
season of famine.". _ And Pharaoh
said : " I perceive that thou art
none of them that know not to come
in when' it doth
,rain ; behold, it
shall. be even as thou sayeat."
• Wherefore lie made Joseph ruler
over, all the land of :Egypt; and gave'
unto him chariots and horses,, and
servants to wait upon him and
clotkd him in sumptuous gaments,
whereunto the .coat of many color
was cot so much ai a circumstance.l
Then did Joseph show what manner
of man ho was. He bearest the
market and bought all the corn that
was to be 'raised in Egypt for seven
years to come, and stored it away.—
And when the first. year of the fam
ine was, approaching he bought at
six monthi, buyer's ;option, and
prised the boys - very greatly, for
when he called , his stocks they could'
not deliver. In .'that day many 4

Si ends: - the story, of Joseph—the
most touching and beautiful, and al
so the most dramatic in the Old Toe,
tament.: Of all the patriarchs, Jo
seph.was the noblest. In his perfect
character one can find no flaw. Fro&
his boyhood onward to the day of his
death, he was both great and, good.
At one time or another of their lives,
the other patriarchs did things that
were not entirely creditable, but Jo
seph's record was clear from the be
ginning oven unto the end.
I will tf o down into this gloomy

his honored memory a cup of its wa

CONCIMNING CO/MS.—COM are of
two kinds, vegetable and animal.—
Vegetable corn grows in rows, and
an i mal cora. grows on toes. There
are.s.:veral kinds of corn ,• them is

Macy a, man when he has a corn
wishes it was an acorn. Folks that
have corns sometimes send for a doc
tor and if 'the doctor himself is corn
ed, hs.won't do near .so well . as if he .
wasn't. The doctors say that corns
are produced by tight - boots 'and
shoes, which is probably the reason
why, when a man is' tight, they say
he is corned. . It a farmer manages
well he an get„a good deal of corn
on one acre, but I know a farmer
that has one corn the biggest saber
on his. farm. The bigger crop of
vegitable corn a man raises.the bet
ter he likes it, but the bigger. crop
'of animal corn ho raises the better he
don't like it. Another kind of corn
is corn dAger.- The way-it is made
is as follows :, (that - is, if you want
to know). You go along the street
and meet .a man that you know has
conic and is e rough character; then
you tread on the toe that. bas the
corn on it, and me if you - won't have

said : =.

remarked':
fik" Ob, that fresh air is invigorating..

that in ten minutes more he was en

the snores of his-companion, who had
also expressed . _ himself refreshed by
the current of fresh • air admitted
through the broken glass.
Considerible time elapsed, and at.
length the travelers awoke. For
_ thirty minutes they'lay conversing,
wondering why they could not sleep.
" Surely, it must be near momiu'
for I don't feel a bit sleek," said
Terrence. --
" ?dentin' 1" echoed the other. , "By
the morthal, but it appears to me
that it's perpetual night in this part

• In a few moments more they heard
a knock at the deer and the travelers
asked what was wanted. .
" It's twelve 'o'clock 1" answered
the porter, opening the door and en
tering the room with a candle in-leis

Terrence. " Why, I thought it must'
be-at least five. What dy'e moan by

" Thin- what did I brake last night?'
Terrence asked, looking around the

thus : - _
"Stranger, I'll thank- you - for a

"Certainly," returned the parson ;
"but you will find -it very powerful ;
be careful how you use _
-The Hoosier took the proffered vial,
and feeling himself proof against any
quantity of raw whiskey, thought he
could stand the "red salt" with im
punity; and accordingly sprikled

it, and forthwith introduced it into
