Why is the wrong so strong, -- ,
And the right so weak and poor/
Why goes black bread to the patient man,
And gold to the aril-doer?,
Why dies the noble cause,
We periled Ilfe to sere,
While the baleful growth of an upstart sin
Crershadows a nation's grave?
Why died that widow's son?
. lie was all site bad to bless.
The children crowd round the selfish heart,
And gale buf a cold caress.
Who reads tho 4 riddle right?
And who can answer why
T`hecelonds sweep over our mortal life?
Not you, braie priest, nor 1.
Why came a throbbing pain "
To that heart so firm and fair,
While the crown of, wealth and of blithesome
health
Some - leaser angels wear?
Why went that young life out
• On honor's perilous mad ?
The carping tongue and the Jealous mind
Stay here to wound and goad.
A picture once I saw—
Three muses against the sky ;
And the heaviest cross was the highest one;
Perhaps that'answers why.
To wave the banner and wreath
Was the privilege of the Jew;
But the boon to carry that heavy cross
Was reserved, dear Lord, for you.
:.!>elccled Tale.
March's Wife.
" Answer me,. Christie," and • the
speaker threw himself on the grass
with a poorly-disguised yawn. -
The person -whom he addres sed.
was . only a little country girl, and
during those perilously sweet days
that Guy Meredith had spent in the
old farmhouSe, - Christie North had
become used to " amusing" the
handsome - young fellow. lie had
been attracted to this quiet Village
that lay between the hills, by the
trouting, of which he was passionate
ly, fond ; 'and when Mrs. North, a
widow and Christie's mother, was
asked for one of the cool,old-fashioned
rooms and a daily lunch, she consent
ed to the plan which was to place
many, welcome dollars in _the family
purse. To her mother, Christie was
'a child, and, little thinking that the
dark-eyed stranger was to affect her
daughter's, happinesi in' any way,
the good woman sent the young
couple out day after day, with fish
ing tackle, lunch-basket'.and book.
The book was a supe4uity, however,.
for. Gay Meredith liked far better to
talk to the girl, looking into her ba 7
byish face the while. Having spent
seventeen years of her life in the lit
tle village where she was born, Chris
tie North knew little of the world
outside, and when the enthusiastic
young fellow described in glowing
language the beautiful places he had
visited, she—
•
"Listened. while a pleased surprise
Looked from her lung-lashed hazel eyes..
To-day was like the other days
which they had spent together, but a
shadow seemed to'Thill over them as
they sat • there, the girl with an anx
ious look on her lovely face.
" 1 don't feel like amusing any one
just now, Guy," she said. " I wish
you would tell me why you have
been so quiet all the day long; you
have hardly spoken to me for the last
twO hours."
Guy • Meredith . laughed a little
-nervously, and pulling the petals
from a daisy, one by one, answered,
abruptly, " I'm going away to-mor
row."
Going away !" echoed the girl,
catching her breath as she spoke. •
" Yes; I received a letter from
mother last night, by which she in
formed me that she and my cousin,
Kate Matherson, arc awaiting me at
Newport, from whence we are to go
home together. am to be married
to Kate next month, and I suppose I
must go. You will miss me a little,-
Christie ?" he continued, thinking
that
that the sweet face had never seemed
quite so lovely before.
" While we have,been talking,-Mr.
Meredith, the sun . has gone down,
and mother will be anxious about us,"
answered the girl; and, without a
'glance at her companion, she swept,
the daisies from her lap and walked
,hastily toward the house.
The young man gathered up the
book, basket and lines, and was about
to join her, but she was already be
yond call, and with a sigh he walked
slowly across the meadow. •
"Christie had. a headache, and
didn't feel like coining down stairs,",
Mrs. North told Meredith that night;
but the next morning she came down
to breakfast, and after Guy Meredith
had taken her mother's hand, she
extended her own with a quiet
" Good-bye, Mr. Meredith ;", and
thus they parted.
That night John March called.
For six months Christie had worn on
her hand a little circlet of gold; that
meant far*more to John March than
his large farm with its broad acres.
To the Mayville people John March
was the common friend to whom all
might go for help and sympathy, and
they never failed to find it. All the
little babies held their little arms to
be gathered to his great - strong ones,
and to the children he was a Kriss
Kringle who stayed.with them all the
year round.
Was it any wonder that when this
man asked Christie to be - his wife
she gave the promise and accepted
her fate at his hands? Since her
babyhoodshe had been taught to re
gard. John March as the embodiment
of manly virtue and goodness, and it
had been no hard natter to feel that
her future life was to be spent with
him ; but as for analyzing it, the
child had not thought of it until
Meredith came.
John March had Wetly watched
the two through the long summer
days, feeling that his heart's treasure
was slipping away from him, but
treating Christie with the same gen
tlene3s and deference that ,he bad
ever given her. . , ' _
John," said Christie, that night,
" I must not wear this any longer,"
pointing to the tiny ring which lay
in her hand, and holding it out to him.
" Why, Christie?"
" Because I don't love you,"
TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PL, MIIRSDAV 1101257 G, AUGUST 14, 1879.
WHY?
.-Ladrit Journal
rek
.
"That pains me, dear • don't say
it again, please," answer ed the man
as hf took the little cold hands in his
own. "Do you think that 1 have
been so blind these many days, child;
that I haven't seen your trouble ? If
I thought that it would make you
happier to release you from the prom
ise you gave me last winter, I would
not hesitate a moment. But, Chris.,
tie, let me try to win your love.
Trust your happiness in my keeping,
and, please Giod, you never shall re
gret it"
So Christie put on the ring again,
and with it the responsibility which
she was so anxious to lay aside.
Mrs. North was too busy during
the
,days that preceded the wedding
to n rice her daughter particularly,
1
I tLI
but e girl's. apparent indifference
to all matters concerning the wedding
surprised her. When David North
close his eyes on this weary world,
his . wife took ' the "burden - of life
again," and carried-it even better
than her husband had done. Christie
was not like-berimother. She had.
accepted the loving and petting that
bad always been lnvished upon her.
as the flowers take the sunshine, and,
indeed, she- had received little else
during her life. 1 But here was some.
thing that Mrs. North eould.not un
derstand, and she soon became used
to Christie's quik manner and pale
face. John March remained unchang
ed. Ever thoughtful for the wants
of others, and always very tender 'to
Christie, he prepared his home for
his bride and hid his troubles in his
own heart. -
,
One beautiful October day, when
the trees had put on their gorgeous
colors, Christie was married. AR•
John March's wife she occupied a
position vastly different from that
which Christie North had filled, and
almost before she was aware of it her
hands were • full of •work that she
knew nothing- about. Coming in
contact with the sorrow of others,
she was learning to forget her own.
But in spite of an increasir.g interest

husband said :
"Would you like to go to M., next
week, Christie ? I can leave home
very nicely just at present, and, •if
you we will take a vacation and
see i( we can get a little more color
up there among the mountains."
Five days hence we find them in
one of the hotels. at M. To Christie,
everythitig was new and delightful ;
the' music, the ••haodsome ladies in
their bewildering,costumes, the clear,
cool, lake, and 'the grandly solemn
mountains. With the eagerness of a
child She entered into the plans which
were made for' h t enjoyment, and
before they had- en there a week.
she was. looking more like herself
than. she done since her marriage.
Wlie,n the ladies found that she
was married, they fell down, figura
tively, and Worshipped her beautiful
face. The lovely Mrs. March " was
in great demand, and to say that
Christie enjoyed it all would poorly
'express her pleasure.
One afternoon, John March and
his 'Wife were walking togetheon
the piazza. Somehow Mrs.
was growing Very proud of her hus
band. She hardly dared to own that
it was. anything more than pride
which brought the light to her eyes
and the flush to her sweet face when.
ever she looked at the man whose
goodness had won her respect. long
ago. Never - since her wedding-day,
had her husband offered Christie a
caress, waiting with, quiet patience
until the girl should know her own
heart. As they stood still for a mo
ment to watch some . new arrivals,
Oily Meredith came up the steps with
several ladies. As he glanced at the
two standing there together, a mo
mentary look of pain swept across
his face, but, quickly regaining his
composure, he raised his hat and'
passed into the house. As for Chris
tie, there was one quick heart throb,
and then she grew strangely calm ;
so calm and quiet was she that her
husband glanced down at .her more
than once, after they had resumed
their walking, with a curious look of
anxiety on his face ; but he was too
wise to disturb by any careless words
Christie's questioning heart.
That evening Mr. and Mrs. March
were presented toMrs. Guy Meredith,
a tall,gray-eyed woman,who followed
her young husband everywhere, and
after Christie had exchanged a few
words with her, she pitied the man.
who had been so much to her.
Two days after, John March was
called home on business, and Christie
wondered to find herself longing for
his return. As she came down to
dinner on the last day of her hus
band's absence, Mrs. March found the
house in a state of confusion. Every
body was either scanning a newspaper
or talking anxiously to neighbor.
In answer to a surprised look of
Christie, a lady said :
" There has been a fearful railway
accident ; over twenty people were
instantly killed, and the number of
the wounded is not yet known."
." What train was it?-" asked the
girl; with trembling lips.
" T he noon train down ran off that.
high embankment three miles from
the'station ; did you have any friends
on the train 1" continued the lady,
kindly placing her arm around Chris
tie as'she saw her white face.
"My husband," replied Christie ;
and then she went•up to her room
and.knelt down by the window.
Through that long afternoon such"
revelations. came to her as she had
never dreamed of before. All the
great love toward her husband which
had been glowing for many weeks
came upon her there, and, crushed by
her sorrow, she knelt despairingly.

bee flew in, filling the room with its
drowsy hum, and then all .was quiet
again. On the .peaceful boiotn of the
lake a few boats floated idly about,
and above them great whiteeloud
ships wereaailing across the blue sky.
SuCh t a perfect day ! when every bird
tbat warbled and every flower that

to Coinplete the picture. A sunbeam
danced for a moment on Christie's
golden head, hut she moved not.

sun sank behind the gray mountains,
the birds hid their little heads under
their wings and fell asleep, and still
nothing in the room moved. In the
darkness tie door was opened and
some one came across the room. A
familiar. voice „
" Christie, darling, you will have
to be my right hand now," and stile
was gathered close to her hushand's
heart.
It needed few'words to tell John
March that his long waiting-had not
been in vain. With her heart in her

the poor sprained arm was almost

ADVIOE TO A GENTLEMAN ON THE
BUBLEOT OF HEALTH.
lIIIra Manual of Social and Tipsiness Forms. -
The first great secret of good health
is good habits, and : the next is revu
larily of habits. 'They are briefly
summed up in the following rule's: •
. 1. SLEEP.—Give yourself the nec
essary amount of sleep. Some men
require five -hours of the twenty-four;
others need eight, 'Avoid feather
beds; Sleep in a garment not worn
during the day. To maintain robust
health, sleep with a person as healthy
as yourself, or no one.
2. Dazss.-4n cold weather, dress
warmly with . underclothing. Remove
muffler, overcoat, overshoes, 'etc.,
,when remaining any considerable
- length of time in a warm room. Keep.
your feet warm and dry. Wash them
in warm water two or three times
,a
week, 'Wear warm stockings, large
boots and overshoes when in the snow.
or wet. Wear a I;ght covering on the
head; always keeping it 'cool.
3. CLEANIANESS.—Have always a
pint or quart of water in your sleep
ing room: In the morning, after
washing and wiping hands anti face,
then wet with the hands every part
of the body. Cold water will not be
disagreeable when applying it with
the bare hands. Wipe immediately;
follow by brisk - Tubbing' over the
body. The whole operation need not
take over fire minutes. The result of
this wash is the blood is brought to
the surface of the skin, and made to
_circulate evenly throughout the body.
You have opened the pores of the
skin, allowing impurities in' the body
to pass off, and have.given yourself
in the operation a good vigorous
morning exercise.' Pursue this habit
regularly" and you will seldom take
cold.
4. INFLATION or 'FILE LuNos.- 7 -Five
minutes spent in the open air' ' a ft er
dresssing, inflating the lungs by in
haling as full a breath as possible,
and pounding the breast during the
inflation, will greatly enlarge the
chest, strengthen the lung power, and
very effectively ward off consumption.
5. DIET:-1f inclined to be dyspep
tic,'avoid mince pie, sausage and oth
er highly-seasoned food. Beware of
eating too freely of soups ; better to
eat food dry'enough to employ the
natural saliva of the mouth in mois
tening it. If inclined to over-eat,
partake.freely of rice, cracked wheat,
and other articles that are easily di
gested. Eat freely of ripe fruit, and
avoid excessive use of meats. Eat at,
regular hours, and lightly near the
hour of going to bed. Eat slowly,
' thoroughly masticate the food. Do
not wash it down with continual
drink while eating. Tell your funni- .
est stories while at the table and for
an hour afterward. Do not engage
in severe mental labor directly after
hearty eating.
6. ExERCISE. Exercise, not to
violent, but sufficient:to produce a
gentle perspiration; should be bad in
the open air.
7. CONDITION OF MIND --The con
dition of the mind has much .to do
with health. Be hopeful and joyous.
To he so avoid business entangle
ments that may cause perplexity and
anxiety. Keep-tout of debt. Live
within your income. Attend church.
Walk, ride, mix in jovial company.
Do as nearly right as you know how.
Thus conscience will always be at
ease. If occasionally disappointed,
remember that there is no rose with
out a thorn, and that the darkest
clouds have a silver lining; that sun
shine follows storm and beautiful
spring succeeds the dreary winter.
Do your duty, and leave the rest to
God, who doeth all things well.
HEROIC CONDUCT OF A BOY.-4.
young working lad of Woolwich was
on the river bank when the Princess
Alice wentdown in the recent Thames
collision, and, being a good swimmer,
at once dashed into the river arid
brought out the struggler next to
him. He at once plunged in again,
- and rescued a second, to rush in
again and ileturn with a third. As he
was making his way thus to the bank
he saw a )small bundle, which he
guessed must be a baby. He caught
it with his teeth, and thus brought
the fourth rescued life to shore. Not
then able to swim in again, he carried
the baby home to his mother's hum
ble dwelling, and placing the - little'
orphan in her arms, said : " Here,
mother, nurse this baby for, me; I
will work for it. as long as I live."
This anecdote beautifully illus
trates the Savior's ig,de eming grace.
Christ finds the sinlrer perishing in
the dark waters of sin. He rescues
him, gives hide into the care of His
church and says, in the language of
the good Samaritan, " Take care of
him, and when. I come again I will
repay thee."—Christian Voices.

A QUEER CAVE DISCOVERED.
• A correspondent writing, from
Foughkeepsie, N. Y., says: On the
western shore - of the Hudson, nearly
opposite this city, a hamlet • known
as Lewisburg shows piominently on
the mountain-side. " Near Lewisburg
an old stone quarry and heavy un
derbrush affords cover for a number
of foxes. Two young men named
Rely ea, while' walking through the
Woods, sightid a fox and gave chase
to it. Suddenly the fox disappeared
and the pursuers scrambling along
to the spot
_where it was lost sight
of, disco'Vered a_ small hole in:the
mountain-side.A couple of stones
were removed, disclosing a large fiat
- boulder, which, after displacement,
revealed an opening about three feet
across and four feet deep. , From
the bottom of this an opening, large
enough to admit the body of a man,
extends into the mountain-side. The
bed of the passage is nearly level,
and the sides irregular and jagged.
Owing to the datkness, nothing could
be done without a lantern: A torch
was procured, but, after entering the
cave- trahort distance, the- light went
out. A number of gentlemen from
this city organized an exploring
party. The explorers, after crawl
ing six • feet from the passage-way,
entered a chamber nearly high enough
to. stand up in;* and three or four
le
!et wide. The chamber extends a
distance of twenty-five or th 4 rty feet.
At one end of the cave a wall of rock
stopped the further progress of the
party: Through the wall is a small
opening, not large enough to admit
the body of -a grown person. Light
enough could not be obtained to dis
cover what was beyond. A long
pole stuck through. failed to touch.
bottom, side or top. A cold draught
of air comes through the fissure: The
temperature averages 45 degree's. The
bottom of the first chamber is cover
ed with vegetable Mold, very, soft
and damp, When brought to the
light, the substance resembles black
mountain earth. The opening in the
wall or partition is, shaped like the

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
New Yelic Herald.
Emil BauSch, of Lloyd street, near
Throop avenue, Williamsport, who
has been suffering for some time
froth 'heart disease, sat down to his
dinner table yesterday seemingly in
his usual health. After partaking
helriily of the viands placed before
him he rose from the table, but was
triketi with what - be thought a faint
ing fitoind said he felt sick; then,
throwing up his hands he fell on the
floor. The family, .thoroughly star
tled, though they had long beell'ex
pecting such an occurrence, hasten
ed to his relief and bore him to a
sofa, where after two or, three efforts
to articulate both respiration and
pulsation apparently ceased. The
family physician was sent for, but
being absent, word was left for him
to. call immediately
. on his return.
Meanwhile no signs of life were vis
ible in Mr. Bausch, and the family
convinced of his death sent for an
undertaker, who_ came and was alsO
convinced of the death of Mr. Bausch.
Before going back to • his store for
ice and box with which to preserve
the body until the time for the fun
eral he attached the usual crape in
signia of death to the front door bell.
He .was gone an hour, and then
when he reached the house - and pre .
pared to remove the body to the box
the jar of removal startled he sup
posed corpse into life. Sneezbg first,
he grasped for breath, and ,f i n a very.
few moments circulation that Wad been
temporarily suspended reiumed' its
course, and, though weak, Mr. Bausch
became once more a man among the
living. The family rejoiced I:it the
recovery, overwhelmed him with at
tentitin, and even the undertaker felt .
pleasure in the unusual termination
to his services and joined in the con
gratulations. He quickly hastened
the removal of his paraphernalia, the
' last thing to take down being the
badge of crape from the door, which
for two hours had been suspended
there.

I latided my'first pickerel the first
evening we.were on lake Minnetonka:
I am not a skillful fisherman: -I told
the boys that I could do a little plain
fishing, but I 'didn't want to be set
down-for anything with any kind of
fluffing, embroidery, knife-plaiting
or anything of that kind about, it. I
fished from the shore, by the side of
a veteran fisher, Mr. A. K:Dunlap,
of Titusville. Ile knows evey fish
in the lake'by na'me:i He can tell by
the movement_of the, line -what kind
of a'fiih is at your, h4ok. Something
ran away with my line.
"It's a pickerel,"
.shouted Mr.
Dunlap, in intense excitement. "A
big fellow. Take out . your lines,"
he yelled - to the rest of them. " Give
him plenty of- room ! Play him," he
'shrieked at me. " Let him run !
Keep your line taut! 'Don't give him
an inch of slack! Look out! Don't'
let him do that again! Let him run!
Now, bring him in this—, LOC&
out! IYon't let him do that - again!".
. By. this time-'I was - so . excited I.
was on the point of thioWing down
the pole and rushing out into
..the
lake, intending to run . the fish down
and kick him to death, I screamed to
Mr. Dunlap:
"You take the pole and land him
—I never can:"
He refused. He turned and hurl
ed his own, pole, lance fashion into
the Foods.
" Here !" he shouted, rushing down
.the bank about "twenty — feet below
me, stooping down and spreading
out - his.firms. '" Here! Now ! Bring
him in here through the shoal Water,
I'll get him -Careful, now Careful !
Steady !. A h— = ."
And flip, flap, I had him on the
shore. He was a beauty. A little
sunfish, about three and a half inches
long..
It was a long time before we said
anything. Mr. Dunlap climbed a big
birch tree,. in the top of which his
pole bad lodged, and we -resumed.
our fishing.. Presently Charley Arm

"Dow funny the frogs sound over

And then, we - laughed a long time
at the frogs. 'A long, long time and
very heartily. They were very funny
frogs.
But. Mi. Dunlap fished on very
silently, and by .and by he said the
fish wouldn't bite when there was so
much noise. 'So we held our hush
