TUH BITER OF TIME.
''"it 1. t. TAT LOR.
Oh ! wonderful stream is the Biver of Time,
As it runs through the realm of tears,
With a faultless rhythm and a musical rhyme.
And a broader sweep and a surge sublime,
Till it blends with the ocean of years.. ,
. cn. . . i ' '
How the winters oome drifting like flakes of
snow, ,iW , . -j ,,,, l
And the summer like buds between ;
And the years in the sheaf so they come
and go "' ' '
On the river's breast with its ebb and flow,
As it glides through the shadow and sheen.
Thore'aa magical Isle up the Hivor of Time,
Where-the softest of airs are playing,
There's a cloudless eky and a tropical clime,
And a song as Eweet as a vesper chime ;
And the Junes with the rcses are straying.
And the name of this ifle is tire long ago,
And we bury our treasures there ;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of
snow, .
They are heaps of dust, but we loved them
so ; '
There are trinkets and tresses of bair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody
sings.
And a part of ,an infant's prayer ; . , ;
There's a lute unswept, aud a harp without
strings;
There are broken vows, and pearls of rings,
And the garments that she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the
fairy shore.
By the mirage 5s lifted in air ; :
And we sometimes bear from the turbulent
shore, :
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before.
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh, remember for aye be the magical Isle,
All the days of our life until night ;
When the evening comes with its beautiful
smile ;
When our eyes are closing to slumber awhile,
M.-iv 'hat tireenwo-d of soul be in fight.
THE JUDGE'S DAUGIITER.'
1 5Iy story swrrj brnntlpd into my
memory in letter!" of fire. It is no story
conjured tip by tlie imagina'ion, nor yet
one that needs glossing over by a fertile
pen. All its incidents are real none ex
aggerated. ; ,
Not many years ago a hsughty old
man, a judge of incorruptible morals,
died, leaving behind Lira two children.
After bis death it was found that he
had not been so. wealthy as many had
imagined, yet rich enough to leave each
daughter a moderate competence.
To tlie eldest fister descended the
homestead and sufficient income to keep
tip some of their former etjle; to tlie
younger twenty thousand dollars, invest
ed in an old and triiffy bank.
From infancy Etelle, the eldest had
been acquaiuted with a poor but proud
spirited boy. She had watched his in
effectual etrngglea for an education such
as be desired, and as he neared manhood
he became her most ardent lover.
But the old judge demurred ! No
daughter of bis should encourage the at
tention of a penniless youth their inti
macy must cease.
"' Obedient as a child, she listened to
her father's commands, aud obeyed them
implicitly.
He surrounded her with gty company;
he did everything that wealth or taste
could suggest to win her away from her
boy lover. But though she uttered no
compl.iiut, he knew that she did not for-
At last he died He did not bind her
with ' any promises. Perhaps in death
his eyes discovered that it needs more
than wealth to bring happiness.
After her bereavement, Rupert Kings-
land carae to her agaiu. .. . ,
"Estelle, my- love," he said passion-
a'ely'it seems, wrong to you Jor me to
come to you, now he is gone, when I
know how much lie was opposed to me.
but, darling,, you are in trouble, and I
must comforf yon. , . . i . ,; ;
She did not chide him. She believed
her father must have relented, or else he
would have spoken and forbidden her to
receive him after his death. . She wept
and sobbed on hi bosom like a child.
- "Rupert,'', she said, "if you had for
saken me now, I should indeed be des
olate " v
"And to leave you ever will kill me,''
he ejaculated, impetuously. "Curse my
fortune that must forever be debarred
from you "
"Don't speak so fiercely, Rupert, she
pleaded. "No one stands between us
now '. ., : ,i ; .,! .:
Yes, poverty stands between us as it
ever did." he Tetdied "Never will I
take advantage of his decease to step un
wftrthily where he forbade me. ' ' If I ever
could obtain ' my wish of becoming a
great and famous physician. Estelle, then
wonld I be-prondto come to see you
' "Where would you go to become a
doctor 1 rue quenta.
! : "I would study "in" England, France
and Germany,'' was his eager ' response.
"To be 4 common-place physieian would
not satisfy me. I must be the equal of
the most eminent." '
r"Tor'a moment she was silent.

Rupert,", ;he observed, presently,
"the way is open for you at last, j My
money is left . untouched. In no way
would its use give me to much joy as to
know that it was aiding you to. obtain
your life's desire. ,n You shall go to Eng
land, France and Germany. Oaly , re
turn to me as pure as you leave me." ,,
For a time he opposed such a sugges
tion. ' lie . could not accept her money.
Dut . in proportion to his unwillingness
to receive, became her eagerness to be
stow. .- ,
, At last he consented. He would only
consider it a loan, to be repaid at some
future day., lie would send to her as a
banker, for what he required, and remain
away some four or five years. . . .
. ller sister was much opposed to it
when informed of what Estelle proposed
to do. . ,i, -t :
: "You are exceedingly unwise, Kstelle,"
she said angrily, " to draw your capital
to give to him. I doubt his goodness
I doubt his ever returning.", -i
Estelle was wounded but Dot : discour
aged. She made him a present of a
very handsome gold watch aud chain,
and money enough to defray all expenses
mcideltal to his journey and first admit
tance to a medical school. Then he was
to write to her and she would send him
more.
H is two years were spent in England,
and be received money from her every
quarter. He lived in style, even luxu
ry ; surrounded himself with every tiling
he could wish for; aud though she
thought he must be extravagant in his
habits, she made no iuquities, no com
ments. Her sister married and went to Califor
nia, and Estelle was. left to watch and
wait tho remaining three years of his
absence
He went to Germany. He remained
two years linger. The last year of his
proposed absence he wrote to Estelle
thus :
"My love I do not know how to say
what I wish. My five years have nearly
expired. 1 believe 1 am Hearing tue
goal, which, save for the gioduess of
your true and noble heart, 1 nover should
have hoped to obtain, but yet I am not
satisfied. I wirh to see you so much
my poor, lone birdling. that I am ready
to drop everything, give np every future
hope for this world and the next, to fly
to you iSut 1 restrain myselt. 1 wisu
to be entirely worthy of you and all you
have done for me when I do return.
Oh, it I could remain here two. years
longer, I might accomplish much there
in 1"
isbe perused that part of his letter.
Two years more ! Two years of long
waiting seven years of weary waiting !
She let not even a sigh escape her
lips. , Her trust in him was implicit. ...,
There is a passage in holy writ which
says : "There is no fear in love, but
perfect love casteth out fear, because fear
hath torment. He that feareth is not
made perfect in love." She knew
no fear ! It would be hard for him
to be away two years longer, but if he
desired it, she should not complain.
he had already lent him, so great had
been his extravagance, every penny of
her principal. .
She took np her pen and thus wrote :
"Rupert, God alone knows how much
I long for you each day, but if it is your
wish to rem tin away two years mote, do
not let me deter you. You know father
id not leave me as well provided for as
was anticipated, and now all is gone hut
the homestead. If you think the two
years necossary. 1 will mortgage it.
He did not think two more years re
quisite, but he wrote so touchingly about
her sacrifice that it seemed almost &i if
he was confruring a favor on her by ta
king it, thau her on him by giving.
It was mortgaged. Every dollar she
realized was seut to him. Her own ser
vant she had dispensed with all but
one was discharged,... Then she stood
alone. What was she to do?
She could not appeal to her sister;
she remembered the taunts that her sis
ter had exteuded her. , i ';.
She weut out aud procured a situation
as governess in a wealthy family, one of
her old friends . Public iudignatiou be
came intense. Judge Atherton's daugh
ter a governess ! People beamed her for
her folly, but she smiled serenely. ' Her
reward was yet to come. She believed,
Rupert's fame would compensate her for
ail. '
Two years passed away and even she
could not deny to herself that she had
failed greatly during that time. ..Then
a let ter came to her ; it said : ' ,
"My patient dove. I am coming at last
Be read y for me in May. Write me one
more letter." ; ; . - .' - ! ''
Accompanying it was a paper contain
ing a notice of him ; and his great medi
cal skill. American papers congratulat
ed themselves upon having such a rare
acquisition to the medical fraternity.
She read aud wept tears of joy.

MAY 17, 1371.
. Ah ! to how many hearts such an an
nouncement would have carried terror !.
, She new the name of the ship in which
he was to sail, and -watched the slow,
seemingly endless days go by.
fche was full of peace and joy; he
was comiug she was conteut. Those
that knew her said her facs wore the ex
pression of . an angel. He that aa it
might her heart wore the happiuess of
one. : ( . .
She had heard when the steamship
arrived. They only lived tventy miles
distant sure he. would come the next
day. Hut the next day came, and the
uext, and the next, and be came not.
Sl.e saw his name among tli arrivals ;
was be sick? She was tempted to go
down when a gentleman called upon her.
"I have seen vour friend. Dr. Kings-
laud, iu the city," he said. ." cJe told
me to inform you that he had bien de
tained, and would soon be op."
Tlie anuouceiiient took one pang- from
her heart only to add another. 1 le was
wen-sue manned uoa tor ttiar, nut couiu
she have been within twenty miles of
him for a week without sending him
some message?
inai was an i.ie reproacu sue anowea
her gentle heart to make, while she
formed a thousaud excuses for his cruel
neglect.
Two weeks went past, and tlw-y nnm-
bered three. Then a note came which
commenced as follows : ' '
"My dear friend, I feel as if I can say
to you, through a note, that which I
wish to say, better than face to face
Estelle, you have been my best friend,
my good Samaritan, aud I am sure you
will rejoice at my happiness. I was
married last night to Miss Morse. Ton
remember her. A young lady of wealth,
beatrty and good position in society."
She read no more. Some one in the
adjoining room heard a heavy fall, ;ind
rushed in. They found her on the floor,
apparently dead They picked her up
and sent for a physician.
"A severe shock," was his conclusi Dn.
' She is dying of the heart disease." '
She became sensible again, but her
heart was utterly broken, beven years
of waiting, and the falsehearted lover
had left her left her, after squandering
her property, to die iu misery !
Even then she uttered no complaints.
She had all his letters, little keepsakes,
aud every tride pertaining to him,
brought to her. She bound thi'm up
and addressed them to him.
"After I am gone send them to him, 1 Men shoveled until they become exhaust

fulfilled her request.
He began to practice early, and his
success was wonderful, despite the noto -
nu.j ....: 0.

On the first day after he returned
from Europe, Mary Morse gave a party.
She made her brother promise to watch
Dr. Kiussland, and bring him up with
him
See if I dou't win him from that
faded Estelle Atherton?" she exclaimed
before he met her.
And. she did so. II13 tick le heart
eaeily proved recreant to every vow of
love, every tie of honor.
Two years after, she was about to go j
dowu a flight of stairs, when she uttered i
a loud shriek, and fell forward to the bot
tom. , ,.
When she became conscious, she said :
"Estelle Atherton stood at the foot of
the stairs !"'
Whether it was merely a delusion of
her guilty conscience or not, we can
uever know. Any -way the fall frac
tured her spine, and until this day she
is a miserable, repining, cross, laded in
valid, frightened to be left ' alone for a
moment. And she is a conscience
stricken wretch, enduring all the pangs
of earthly purgatory.
Verily, my friend is being avenged !
It is God's just retribution.
l?EAurtFUL Alleuoky. Crittenden,
of Kentucky, was at one time engaged in
defending a man who had been iudicted
for a capital offense. After an elaborate
and powerful defense, he closed his effort
with the following striking and beautiful
allegory :
When God in his eternal council con
ceived the thought of man's creatiou. be
called to him the three ministers who
wait, constantly upon his throne Jus
tice, Truth and .Mercy and thus address
ed them : ' Shall we make mau V Then
said Justice: 'O. God, make him not,
for he will trample upon thy laws.' Truth
made auswer also. O, God, make him
not, for he will pollute thy sauctuaries.
But Mercy, dropping upon her knees,
looking up through her tears, exclaimed,
0. God, mike him I will watch over
bim with my care through all the dark
paths which he may have to tread.' Then
God made nun, and said to bim, 'O, man,
thou art the child of Mercy ; go aud deal
with thy brother."
, The jury, when he had finished, was
drowned iu tears, and against evidence,
and what must have been their own con
victions, brought in a verdict of not
guilty. i.
" How long can a fool live ?" asked a
lawyer of a witness. 'I don't know,' re
