Sitting and working at my rhymes, I weave her sunny hair at times Into my verse, or gleams of it. Upon her window4edge is set A box of flowering mignonette ; Morning and night she tends to them, The senseless flowers, that do not care To kiss that strand of loosened hair As prettily she bends to them. If I could once contrive to get Into the box of mignonette, Some morning as she tends to them !

He departed this lite November 14, 1802, Aged 57 ; Wound up In hopes of being taken in hand By his Maker, And of being thoroughly cleaned and repaired And set agoing In the world to come. ,ffitletted ffitorg. A little time ago I read the plot of Sar dou'e "La flame." 100,000 00 "La Haine" suggested to my memory a cusious story of real life, which I heard not many years since. It was no lurid theatred story, but a history of passionate real life. Republic of the United States, A. D. 186—. Would yon care to read the strangely-twisted story, I fonder ? I take it for gra ited you would. . . There wits a tremendous sensation in 4he Thirty-first National Bank,one morn ing at nine ()lock. The sensation was not a pleasant one. It was rf that sort that makes a human being feel as though he were suddenly strigken with a chill.— The under clerk spoke in whispers, as those do who are in the presence of a dead body, and the second assistent mov ed about with the 1 ale face and glitter— ing eyes of one who is laboring under intense excitement No one spoke to him, and the lower clerks glanced ask— ance at him under their eyebrows. • The cashier of the bank had been ar— rested the night before for forgery, and the second assistant was the one who -need the arrest. - Cashier Unfortunately the cashier was guilty. He was a young man of earavagant life, son of one of the leading stockholders or he bank, who had put him into the, bank to steady him down and make him learn business habits. But the young man was a spoiled rich man' son. Ac cording to the rule of the survival of the fittest, there was no place in the world for him. Providence, however. who does invariably work according tt Darwin rules for reasons best known to himself, let the youth live till he bad half ruined his father, half broke his mother's heart, and wholly committed a forgery ou the Thir ty-first National Bank. The youth's father, for the sake of the mother, fought. desperately to get him off, to no purpose. The second assistant, Birney Graham, pursued him with an energy which seem• ed almost malignity. The defaulter was convicted and sentenced to proper. pun ishment. It served him right. I don't apologize for him. When a thief is caught stealing, he ought to be punished, unless lie is starving and steals a loaf of bread. The president of the bank had a daughter Alice, aged twenty, blonde, petite, its pretty as a baby, with a will and haughty spirit of a Lady Macbeth. That to cad the rest. She was as pretty as it; baby, Lsay, hut the Lady Macbeth will andlspirit in her gave her delicate pink and white face a look as unlike a baby's as possible. Indeed so far from resem bling a baby, Alice Marley, blonde and petite as she was, had much the look of a graceful, high-bred, high-spirited boy.— This jaunty, boyish look, mode her all the more , beautiful, all the more admired. Oh, yes ! Just so. When a pretty girl of eighteen looks boyish, that's all very fine, when a middle aged woman looks man nish--lhat's something very different. But I wander from my strangely-twist ed story. Ido not wish to do that. This beautiful, proud Alice /Harley., daughter of the bank president,.was be frothed to the defaulting cashier. On the morning her betrothed was sent to pun ishment, a gentleman called to see Alice Marley. - lie was a tall, slender man, young to be sure, but with a shary, cold face, which wore a faintly sneering ex pression, as though the man doubted whether there was anything good, true or. kindly in this life. It was ,a painfullook for a young man to wear. lie was a handsome man, too, only for the mock ing, cynical look.. The man' was Birney Gmhatn, second assistant. at the Thirty first National .Bank, the, person who bad pitilessly pursued the erring mho! till `l3lngbacitori, N. Y MONTROSE, SUSQ'A COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1785. BY T. B. ALDRICIL HIS ENEMY. "Stand by the Right though.the Heavens &UV he was convicted and sentenced. As Birney sat there now, leaning his cheek against his hand, gazing steadily out of the window, he seemed a man who would have hunted his own brother to death, so merciless be looked. Surely this man had had a bitaer experience of no oom— mon sort. The faintly sneering expres sion deepened in his face, as lie heard light footsteps approaching: Was the coldness of his tam the coldness of a stone, or of a lava•bed died out on the surface, but smouldering with violent tires beneath ? There are two kinds of cold faces, you know. Birney Graham bowed profoundly as Alice Marley enter td the room. She did not return the 'how. She laid one delicate hand on the back al a chair, and stood looking at him with a haughty. angry tact.. Each eyed the other eteadily,with glittering eye, and there was that in the look of each which "I stand here your enemy till I the." Neither said it in so many words, though the girl at length spoke first, and she said this "What have you come here for ?" "To see you, Miss. Alice, what .Iser?" "If I had known you were here, I wouldn't have came in," she said. I think you would, Miss Marley," he answered calmly. She shrugged her shoulders impatient— ly, but did not reply. What he said was true. Birney Graham seemed to have a strange, strong power over even them that did not like him. The sneer deep cued hi his loce again, and he bowed mockingly. "I come here to receive your expres sion of gratitude, Miss Alice. solely. By my own efforts alone, I have been enabled to send a dangerous character to a just puuisliment, and at the same time save your lather's book no end of lose. lam o 7 .. ...et h. 6..).11.g51y crateful to me. To hear you say it with your oivn lips—this is why lam here, Miss Alice, exactly." He was curious like a flint, cold end hard as adamant of itself, but with the power of striking fire into the heart of other materials. Alice Marley flushed and then paled again with anger. "1 did not care much after I came to know him, for him you have hunted down," she said, in a low, husky voice, -although he was an angel compared to you. I knew of what you had done be lore you made it public and I never would have married him. He was but a poor weak creature, blown about by every im pulse. The man 'marry must be a strong man. If you thought to wound me deeply there, you have failed, thank God ! But 1 hate you Birney Graham, as I thought I never could hate a human be ing. All the world know I was betroth. ed to that man. This one pities me, that one laughs at me, another says it is good enough fur me, because I thought myself above my betters. My name is on the tongue of every gossip, and in the news papers. Oh 1 I could murder you !" She covered her face and burst into tears, not gentle, girlish tears, but pas sionate, burning tears. "You could murder me ?'' questioned Birney Graham, coldly. "Du! Death at your hands would be sweet." Alice looked up again, her tears dry. "But for yon it would have been hush. ed app. What was anything that I had eveiedone to you, that you should have humiliated me like this ? " "I have done nothing but my duty," replied the cold, sneering voice of Bir uev G.ahan. "dy dear holy, I fear you don't understand law. If I had con cealed your friend's misdemeanor, know. mg what he bad done,l should have been held guilty as tie was. It is what the law calls compounding a felony, Miss Marley. lt'e really strange. but ladies will never understand law, think." "I never thought you were worth minding before," sail the girl, in hot scornful tones. "But you have caused my name—my name, Alice Marley, to be on the tongue of every gossip in the city. For this, for the bitter humiliation you have brought upon me, henceforth I pur sue you as you pursued him. You smile cold, wicked smile, do you ? You shall see what a weak girl can do. Murk my words, Birney. Graham 1 From this day forth I shall tight you till I die !" A faint, almost perceptible flush ruse into his face at last. "What had you done to deserve this, Miss Alice ? I will tell you. Years ago, long belore that lit tle blonde face of yours began to haunt idiotic young men, the founder of your race in America, an iron faced miser, took from my ancestor a little house he nearly made his own. This was only the beginning. From that day down, your race has somehow seemed to eat up mine. Yes, from that day until the same accur sed fate brought me across your path. and caused me to love yoiir fair face, from the moment I saw it. That would have been nothing, only you smiled so sweetly on me that it made me forget the great gulf which the world has placed between us. You drew me on, and laughed at me. In one moment you changed for all time the honey of my life to the gaul of bitterness. Miss Marley, what have I done to deserve this ? Was it all noth ing, think you ? I come of Highland blood, and a clansman never forgets. If you had not done what you did, if you bad nut humiliated me, and nearly bro ken my heart, then I shoald have spared you when my turn came. 'I have not one regret, understand. It it were to do over again, I would do it over again, this is what I came' here to tell you." - She raised her arm slowly, as if it bad been a weapon." "Go out of this house," she said. Somehow Birney tiraham never pros— pered. He was not superstitions. Heav en knowt • but , sometimes he half con— fessed to 'himself that Alice - Marley's father was bis friend, hat Ur. Marley shortly resigned his presidency of the bank, and retired from business. He un derstood bow it came about .when he hap pened to remember that the new presi— dent was the father of Alice Marley's most intemate friend. What Lam could Alice do him ? he bad asked mockingly. He found out *what many another has found out to his sorrow, that a womaa can do a man no end of harm when the sets her head to it. - Birney Graham had no home worth speaking, of. A childish, peevish old, fa— ther who ate opium, depended -on him fin support while a half-sister, cross and vixenish, as only a diseapointed woman could be, hung like a mill-stone about his neck. These two, the peevish father and waspish sister, constituted the guar dian angel of Birney Graham's home.— Truly, as he had told her once, he had not so much peace or joy in this life, that Alice should have thought worth while to take that from him. He had few friends. He repelled people by his cynical coldness, and as time went on, he became more dissagreeable and unmerci ful than ever. Ho said to himself he did not care whether he had any friends or not. He Lola himself a falsehood. He did care. Nhbody can say the like and tell the truth. He obtained another situation, not so good a a he lost, but he was glad to get even Then hard times came sud denly, all the world was turned upside down and driven out to sea, Birney Ora ham along with it. The luckless young man could find no work to help himself, hie peeitish father and vixenish sister still alive. The childish complainings of the father. and the wiggles of his sister,drove him nearly frantic. It was not a pleas ant position for a gentlemanly young man to be placed in. It had been five years since he had the talk with Alice Marley, but it seemed to him that her hate persued him yet. Only for her he would have held his place in the Thirty first National Bank, perhaps a better one. He felt like cursing her and him self, too, whenever he thoacht of her. At last, with the worry and anxiety, the complainings and goadinge, and nag gins, Birney Graham fell sick. As if to insult his pride and sufferings, one day an overseer of the pcor whom Birney had snubbed many a time, because he was coarse and used bad grammar, came in and said : "Young mail, .I think you'd better be took to the 'orspdal." "I'll die first 1" he said. He sprang upon his feet and walked about the room. Presently he informed his peevish father and vixenish sister that he believed he wasn't so very sick after all. He really thought that he would take a walk, and maybe something would turn up. He staggered feebly down into the street. The lamp poste seemed doing a witches' dance. Birney was half delirious with worry and fever. He start ed to walk toward the fields and the country, thinking crazily he would get out of the city, where they could not take him to the hospital. "I mean to walk and walk till I fall down and die," said Birney Graham to himself. The cold November air struck his cheek and entered his lunge, and stimu lated him unusually. He wandered on and on, out into the country, over a . smooth turnpike road, which led lie knew not whither. At length when the sun sank slowly behind the western hills, Birney sank, too. unable to go a step far ther. Next morning a rich lady's coachman told his mistress that there was a tramp out 'in the stable, sick and not able to move. "The country's full o' thena tramps, mum," said the coachman. The mistress was a slender, petite lady, with a delicately-beautiful, though sharp, haughty face. It wasn't the sort of a face a beggar or an erring sister would have appealed to by choice. "Hard him to the station and put him on the train to go back to the city where he came from," she said. "It Il kill him, mum, for to do that to him, he's very sick." "But what'll we do with him here ?" she asked, sharply. "He's very clean, and decent mum, and there ain't no smell of liquor on him," said the coachman, very humbly. "Oh !" said the mistress, sarcastically. "I shall air the best bed-room, shall I ? and make a fire." The man looked at first as though he was uncertain whether his mistress would discharge him or give him a Whack across the shoulder with her riding whip, if he spoke his mind, but presently, he did speak it, nevertheless. If you'll excuse major saying it,mum, be could be brought in hereon the kitch en floor, and a bit of rug put under him. He'll die before this dry's out, if he don't get warm and something in his iusides. You wouldn't want it said that you let a human creature die when you could have saved his life, would you, mum ?" The lady colored faintly at this. "Where is the fellow ?" she asked. The man lay on the stable floor. An old blanket was rolled up and placed un der his head. Mice Marley followed the coachman-silently, and stood and gazed a moment at the seemingly dying tramp.— For this was the country home of Alice Marley's father, and the lady was Alice Marley herself, lingering on in the coun— try late in autumn. She stood and look— ed at the unconscious tramp, as I said.— He was very pale, with long black hair, and. was frightfully thin and wasted. He was entirely "clean and decent,"as the man had said. "Yes, have him carried into the kitch— en, Brown, and take care of him for the present," said the mistress. "As soon as lie is strong enough you can send him to the , hospital." The tramp half opened his eyes and muttered wanderingly: "I mean to walk and walk till I die.— They can't send me to the hospital when I am Ikea. Something familiar in the look and voice attracted the attention of Alice Marley. She stooped and looked at him narrowly and almost shrieked with sur prise. - "Heaven be merciful!' she exclaimed. "Last time I saw you, Birney Graham, you laughed at me to My face, when I spoke of vengence. New your lite de— pends on my, word. I have only to let you die, Birney Graham, I told. you I would hate you and injure you your life long." • Something in her voice and words seemed to rouse and fix his fluttering faculties. He cipened his black, wonder— ing eyes, and fixed them 'steadily on her face, with a light in them' which was a half-ricognition. God knows what could have been. passing throtigh the man's head, in his wild, weak delirium: I don't know what he meant, and he , himself never knew. But, with his burning black eyes still fixed ofi the faze of Alice Mar. ley' this is wharhe "The hyena will open graves to obtain The strong willed mistress of the man sion shuddered. "Get him into the house us quickly as you can, Brown," she cried in a scarcely audible voice. A low coach was brought and the man was lifted upon it. The mistress super intended the removal. "Be careful there," she said in sharp tones. "Are you lifting wood ?" She lifted his head herself. The man was carried in to the genial warmth of the coal fire, and a physician summoned immediately. Then the sharp tongued mistress of the great house dis appeared. She went to her own room and locked herself in. What she thought about during that hour there, no mortal knows, but when she reappeared she was pale, and the delicate, proud face looked like the face of one who had been figta. r . ing the fight with herself; and—lost the battle. • "Housekeeper, - said blies linitoley,••have the beat bed-room prepared, it yo u please." "The best room ?" echoed the house keeper, doubting if she had heard straight. "That is what 1 said," answered Miss Marley. Birney Graham lay in that best room for weeks, "hovering between life and death," as the people who write novels say. One day he suddenly came to him self and turned himself weakly on the pillow, towards Brown, who sat beside him and said : "Is this the hospital ?" "Does it look like an hospital ?" said Brown indignantly. Sauey Graham thotight about it two or three minutes, before making up his mind. "No, it dosen't," said he finally. "Whose house is it ?" Brown told him, also that he bad been found sick, and was taken in and tended like a president, by orders of Miss Mar ley. "What name did you say ?" said Birney Graham feebly. "Marley, Miss Alice Marley," said Brown, speaking as though he thought the patient had lost the sense of hear ing. "Wasn't Miss Alice Marley married long ago ?" asked Birney Graham still more feebly. "No, she wasn't, and ain't," replied Brown. Birney Graham turned his face to the wall again in silence. Brown went out and announced to his mistress that her patient had come to his senses. Miss Marley returned with Brown, a changed softened look on her face. She had watch ed Birney Graham,day aster day, holding his thin hands in hers, and bathed his hot brow, and all ti ese days and weeks a great conflict had been going on in her soul. Hate cannot last forever; though love can. A strange, new, intense feeling was growing in the heart of Alice Marley. It was not hate. Was it love ? Birney Gra. ham seemed to be asleep when Alice Mar. ley stepped noiselessly to is bed-side. He seemed not to hear or to see her. But he was not asleep. He was trying to gather strength to open his eyes, and come face to face with Alice. After that, when she came in, simply a nod of recognition passed, nothing more. He was too weak either to thank her or to quarrel with her. A week later, he was able to be dressed and lie on the sofa. . Then he sent for Miss Marley. He thought now he had strength to look her into the face, and while he looked thank her for all her great kindness to him. She came in softly, a little pale and trembling a little. This man, Birney Graham, lying tber helpless as a baby, so weak even that Brown could easily have frightened him to death, had nevertheless come to have a strange, sweet power over her. She eat down upon a little rooking.chair be side his sofa. He looked at her steadi ly with his intense black eyes. '•I had thought—" he began. Then he stopped. This beautiful face, now pale with emotion, this was the face of his old, lost, love, his first and only love, whom he had worshiped—ah ! God knew how wildly ! He turned him away from her, and buried his face in 'the cushions, and broke into passionate sobs. He was so weak, so • very weak, yet. • The heart of Alice Marley gave a mighty throb, till it ached in her bosom then it lay deathly still. She hesitated a inomenk, a little short moment, then she took Birney Graham's thin face be tween her hands and turned it back to ward her again,-and kissed him on the month. "Birney, dear Birney !" she whispered in a voice ineffably sweet and tender. He laid.one wasted arm about her, and they both wept together a little. •It, was very sweet to mingle happy, team. Just because these two were so strong and proud, and unforgetful, for that very reason they will hove each other with' a a mighty love, ilfich shall endure when common loves are all forgotten ' love which sb:111 hold them together till death parts them, and that day has come, no other Mortal can ever fill the pike left vacant by either. "The man I marry must be a strong man," Alice Marley had said. The man she married had bareley strength to step from the eidevralk.to the carnage, on his ' wedding day. But he. was a strong man for all that, =and his name was Biruey Graham. Alice Madera father was a practical old gentleman, with no nonsense 'about him, and best of all, no snobbery about him,. either. He cared precious little about Highland blood - and that 'rubbish, and thought the world leas wide - enough for every body, and one -.person was as another, as long as .he behaved himself.

If she had married him live years ago, she'd have saved a eight of nonsense and.l'd have had a son to help me all this One."

He was then only slit years old, and in company with his father had left his home in Salzburg, and started on a long course of travel. All day long they had been sailing down that majestic river, past crumbling ruins,frown big castles, cloisters hidden away among the crags, towering cliffs, quiet villages nestled in sunny valleys, and here and there a deep gorge that opened back from the gliding river,its hol- I low distance blue with fathomless shadow, and like some dim and vast cathedral. The com pany of monks with whom they had been trim- Ming that.day, were at supper in the refrectory of the cloister, when Father Mozart . ook Wolf gang into the chapel to see the organ. And now as the boy gazed with something of awe upon the great instrument looming up in the shadows of the empty church, his face lit up with serene satisfaction, and every motion and attitude of the little figure expressed a.wontler ing reverence. What tones must even now be slumbering in these mighty pipes ? Tones which, if once awakened, could give utterance to all that voiceless beauty which the 'day's scenes had showed - him—life and death,present and past ; the peseeful river and the deserted ruin ; the sunshine .unfailing and the unfailing shadotiat its side. "Father," Bald the boy, "explain 'to me those'pedals at the organ's feet, and let me play' - ..Well pleased, the father complied.

TEE PHARIbEES. At the coming of our Lord the Pharisees were the most prominent and influential sect or party of the Jewish people. .Respecting their origin we have no certain knowledge.— - They are referred to by Josephua in connection with the priesthood of Jonathan about one hundred and fifty years before Christ, and It is not improbable that they may have taken their rise soon after the Babylonia' captivity. The word Pharisees signifies "separate*" and seems to have been eithcr chosen by thetp selvts, or applied to them by others as a ttesig nation of their austere and ascetic manner of life. They affected erect purity and sanctity of morals, and held themselves aloof from the' mass of the people. Vicirrtarrts.........sl..xs ever. was Van 11111:1 li t ypocritical In I.het de ,- gree. While they made an ostentatious display of their piety, at heart they were grossly cor rupt. They were ambitious of exerting a Con trolling influence both in Church and State And they appear to have been regarded by the mass of their countrymen with great deference.-t-- The carefulness with which they observed the forms of their religion gave them a reputatation for piety. So far as related to the teachings of the Old Testament Scriptures their doctrinal views were in the main correct They have been rep resented as holding that all things were con- - _ trolled by fate ; but they recognized the free dom of the will, and It is probable that what has been understood as fate was simply. the Scriptures doctrine of the divine sovereignty- -- It appears from the New Testament that their yiew of the resurrection and the fhture life was • tially orthodox. Their views of the plan of salvation, or on the question, "How shall man be just with God r were altogether er roneous and pernicious. It was on account of their false notions on this subject, not lass than the corruption of their moral character, that they were led to reject Christ. But, in addition to the law of ?doses, they held to a multitude of precepts, which they maintained had come from him by tradition.— They regarded them no less sacred than the written law. This was one great cause of their erroneous views and of the corruption of their character. The Scribes were the official or professional leaders of the sect of the Pharisees, not a dis tinct body. They were , doctors or teachers of the law. They transcribed and expounded the. Scriptures, and taught the doctrines of the Jewish religion. In addition to these duties, they conducted the schools for : the instruction of youth. Their profession, i)f course, gave them great influence with the people—an influ ence which they exerted to the utmost, espee tally during the latter part of Ills in!nistry, against Christ and his gospeL Hence the fre quent reference made to them by all divines, and from this has arisen the opprobrious signit. icance applied to the teen Phisrisce.
