He Stood before the Sanhedrim;
The scowling rabbi gazed at him.
He recked not of their prals or blame;
There was do fear, there was no shame.
For one upon whose datileJ eye
Th whole world poured It rat inrpris.
The open beaven wa far too near,
HI first day ' light too sweet and clear,
Te let him waste his new-gained ken
On the hate-clouded face of men.
But still they questioned, Who art then?
What bast thou been? What art thou now?
Thou art not he who yesterday
Sat here and begged beside the war;
For be wa blind.
And 1 m ke:
For I vat l.Unf, but new I ttt.
He told the story o'er and o'er;
It wa hi full heart' only lore;
A prophet on tbe Sabbath-day
Had touched his sightless eye with clay,
And made him ee who had been blind.
Their words passed by him likethe wind
Wbteb rave and bowl, but cannot thock
Tbe bundred-fatbom-rootcd rack.
Tbelrlhreat nd fury all went wide;
They could not touch bl Hebrew pride.
Their sneer at Jesus aud bis band,
Nameles and homeless in the land.
Their boast of Muses and hi Lord,
All could not change blm by one word.
I know not what this man may be,
Sinner or saint; but as for me,
One thing I know, that I am he
W bo once was blind, and now I see.
They were all doctors of renown,
The great men of a famous town,
With deep brows, wrinkled, broad, ani wise,
Beneath their wide phy lacterie:
Tbe wisdom of tbe East was theirs,
And bonot crowned their silver hairs.
The man they Jeered and laughed to scorn
Was unlearned, poor, and humbly born;
But he knew better far than they
What came to him that Sabbath-day;
And what the Chrift had done for him
He knew, and not the Sanhedrim.

"Elsie!"
Walter llartruan's tocecf sorowful
. ' r
amazement made nis toudp; wiie
sprinj; Lastily toler feet. She Lad
not beard bini come in and was
kneeling beside a great arm-chair,
sobbing as if her heart would break.
"Ob, Walter," 6he saiu, "Aunt
Julia " and a fresh burst ot sobs
interrupted her.
Walter's face cleared, ll was no;
sorrow of her own then that over
whelmed this pretty blue-eyed dar
ling he had married six months be
fore.
"Well, El.ie," he said, taking her
in his arms, and caressing, her "what
about Aunt Julia? Do not sob so,
dear ; you will make yourself ill."
"The fire!" said "Elsie, keeping
her sobs somewhat more under con
trol. "You know I was very much
worried when I heard of it, for 1
did not know whether Aunt Julia's
house was in tbe burnt district' or
not."
For ths irreat Chicago fire wu not
a week old, and the whale country
watched for news.
"Well, dear," said Walter kindly.
"It is aa bad as it can be, Walter.
Annt Julia writes to me that her
house was totally destroyed, her
Tery clothing burned up and her in
surance papera not entirely made
out. She is absolutely without any
thing in the world but the clothes
she bad oo. Actually fed by charity.
Ob, Walter!"
Here the sols crao again, thick
and, fast, tad Walter could' offer no
icomfort but such as wa3 cenveyed by
silent careseer. After a time these
were so far effectual that Elsie could
apeak more calmly.
"Now little on'l W&Her. said,
"tt.Il rr. whr this troubles you so
sorely 1)0 yo'a love your aunt so
verr dearlv V
She had beeneycrytLinea, momcr

ted me until I took the situation of
nursery governess to your aunt s
children, and married you. But just
before we were married, an old
iriend of Aunt Julia's died in Chica
go, and left her ten thousand dollars.
" . ' . . a
When she went to claim Her legacy,
she Haw Lhe house, and liked it so
much she boup-h it. her legacy cover
in? the expense of the house, lot, and
furniture, while her own littlo ir&ome
would siiDDcr; ler. But, unfortun.
ately,"bh'e was persuaded to draw
out her fortune and invest in two
lots adjoining her house. 'ow every
thing is swept away."
"ijbe took care ot you w hen. joy
were a child V
"For seventeen years, Walter: de
nying herself to fetd and cloth me."
Walter did not speak again for
many minutes, holding Elsie close in
his arms. At last he said very
gravely :
'Iflwerea rich man, Elsie,
would not stop to think in a case
like this, but say at once "bring your
aunt here." But you know, little
wife, niv salary, thouirh sufficient
for all your wants, Tmh a argfn for
fleasure and saving'a nest egg, is

"Oh, V alter, you are so kind, how

able to thank you."
"Then I am to go. All right. I
will get a leave of absence to-morrow.

"The address is the lawyer's who ar

did not live in the burst district:

A few days later, as fast 3 eteara
would carry Walter to Chicago and
back, EJsie was waiting to welcome
the travelers. A telegram had in
furmed her that Walter had found
Annt Julia waiting at the depot, and
by what traio to expect him home.
11 e only spare room la the pretty
bouse at Harlem, where Walter had
braught his dainty bride, was ia or
der. Jennie, the servant, was cook
ing the cboiaest supper Jblsie could
devise, and the Uuie wife herself
neatlj dressed, was running to the
door every minute watching for the
carriage.
It came at last, and Yt alter band-

sick, as the guest tottered rather
than walked into the room. She
was white as ashes, her hair, Elsie
remembered black as a coal not a
year before, streaked with gray, and
eyes sunken with long illness. When
the water-proof cloak fell trom ter
shoulders, her shabby dress was
most nnlike Annt Julia's habitual j
neatness. But, tho first shock of;
surprise was over, Elsie had no words
too loving to welcome her aunt,
while soft, tender kisses fell fa?t up
on the pale face.
"She is very tired, Elsie," Walter
wh'spered, seeing how vainly the
white lips tried to fraae words. "Git
ber to rest, dear, as soon a3 you
can."
So Elsie, tearfully loving made her
aunt lie upon tbe lounge, and brought
her the most tempting of tea-trays,
stopping the broken words of thanks
by kisses and caresses. Walter, too,
by a hundred delicate attentions and
few spoken words made the guest
feel that she was . most cordially
welcomed.
In her own room Aunt Julia told
Elsie something of the horrors that
had aged her more in one fortnight
than in any previous two years of
her life. She bad slept on '.he ground
in a drenching rain, for two nightr,
then in a tent, with no change ot
clothing, and the memory of the fire
terrors to haunt'ber. She begged the
paper and stamp to write to Elsie.
Then she told of Walter's tender care
of her in the long journey, when she,
racked by pain, often could not speak
for hours, how like a son he had
cared for ber comfort. It was a sad
story, and Elsie's tears Ml fast.
"But now," she said, "you are at
home. I have put underclothes and
loose wrappers in here, Auntie, until
we can have some dresses Cited.
Let me undress you now."
Gently and tenderly the shabby
clothes were moved, tbe weary feet
bathed, the gray-streaked huir
smoothed and the snowy linen put
on for the night. Then utterly tired,
Aunt Julia sank into the bed, whis
pering. "Think, Elsie, I have nut been in a
bed for twelve nights !"
But, alas! she was not scon te
leave it. The haven of rest once gain
ed. Aunt Julia lay for many long
weeks, dangerously ill with rheumat
ic fever, brought on by exposbiv,
while the tortured brain, in wildest
delirium, raved of scenes that chilled
Elsie with horror.
All through these weary weeks
Elsio was nurso while Walter sup
plied every delicacy that could bp
bund to tempt tbe invalid, patiently
endured the discomforts of the house
haunted, by sickness, and proved
,'himseli, Jennie declared; "the near
est to an angel of any man ever she
acex" i -v, - - - ' '
Winter was nearly over before
Aunt Julia was able to leave her
bed, cripeled for life. The rheuma
tism had so twisted the joints of her
hands, legs and feet, that tbey were
useless and most of tne time lntecse-
Iv painful. She fretted over the
prospect of being a burden upon
alter and Elsie, with al; ,he des
pair of a proud .voaaan who had al
ways iRarntaineu her own independ
ence, and tearfully begged to be sent
to some charitable assylum, where
she would be only an expense to tbe
public. Elaie told Walter of the
wisb, and be went to -.yt Julias
reom.
faking the crippled, helpless
hands in his own, holding them very
tenderly, he said :
Auut Julia, l.U;e has told how
bard these little hands worked for
her for seventeen loug years. 1 love
Elsie so dearly, that to grieve her
is my greatest sorrow. Do you think
I could bear to tee ber sutler pain,
if her second motber was sick and
alone, nursed by hired hands, while
we are able and willing to give her
love and care? Do not speak again
of leaving us. I have not seen Elsie's
face so sad as it is to-night, since you
come to us."
"But, Walter, think ! I mar lite
for years."
"1 sincerely h.oj.je you will."
"A,ad I can never have the use of
my bands and feet more than I have
now! I can scarcely feed myself,
or hobble across the room."
"The more reason you should have
loving care." , Why, and Waiter
laughed, while his honest brown eyes
proved hi3 sincerity, ''do yoa think
all tbe love here is Elsie's I want
my share too, auntie, for I love you
as well as my wife. I ask you to
stay, becauso I want yoa here. I
have not heard Elsie sigh over long,
lonely days, since you came."
It took many more loving induce
ments, but at length, Aunt Julia
yielded. It was but truth that Wal-.
tcr spoke when be said she had won
bis love a9 well as Elsie's. She was
yprr patient under excrutiating suf
fering, and very grateful fur all tbe
loving care lavished upon her.
When the pain subsided and she
could talk, she was charming com
pany, well read and full of pleasant
memories and bright observations.
While she felt herself a burden,
Walter and Elsie regarded her as a
blessing. Walter no longer worried
at leaving Elsie alone all day while
he was at his business, and EUie
never tired of Aunt Julia, whof-8 ex
perience proved very valuable to the
little housekeeper.
B.ut month after month there was
a scarcely perceptible failing of
streath in the sorely tired body,
long past youthful vigor. The rhea
matic fever bad left heart trouble,
and distressing spell of suffocation
and palpitation often threatened the
invalid's life. Always patient, she
yet often prayed for death to end her
suffering, while Elsie prayed only
that the dear life might be spared.
She had been Waller II art marl's
guest for two years when her weak-
. .J - .
nesa increased to aa aiarminif caicui,
rapidly and certainly, till she could
not leave ber bed- It was while she
was hersUf coacious that the ead of
her sufferiag was approaching, that
she received a letter from ber lawyer
in Chicago, informing her that she
had received an offer of twenty thou
sand dollars for tbe lots she owned
in that city.
She bad looked on Ler own beg
gary as so absolutely certain that at
first she conld scarcely credit the

offer no dream, by accepting the
terms, and informing Aunt Julia the
money lay in the bank in her came.
"Now, you can ride in your car
riage when you are well," Elsie
said smiling, but tearfully. "I am
so glad, Auntie. You will have
something now for you in your old
age."
"But no old age, Elsie," was the
sad reply. "I am glad, too, darling,
very glad, but not for that."
By her own request a lawyer came
and wrote her will, and then Aunt
Julia, as if the care of life was ended
for her, sank rapidly, growing every
day weaker and more dependent up
on Elsie's loving, never-failing care.
It was in early spring, when one
evening, as Walter came in, Jenni:
met him, her honest face all disfigured
with crying.
"Sure, sir, its asking for you Miss
Julia is."
"Is sLe wwrse ?"
"Ah, sir, she's going fast. The
doctor says she'll not lat the night."
Going at last. Walter could see
the girl's words were true when he
softly entered the room where Aunt
Julia rested, her Lead u;.on Elsie's
shoulder, ber hands clasped fast in
Elsie's.
"I am srlail veu came," she whis
pered. I think I could not go with
out thanking you once more and say
ing farewell."
"What I have done," Walter said,
his heart swelling with emotion,
"wa gladly, lovingly done. I do
not need thanks, Aunt Julia."
'I believe that, but I am not less
grateful because you gave from a full
heart. May God bless you and yours,
Walter. May what you have done
for a crippled, penniless woman come
back to you in your old age laden
with her blessing. Kiss me farewell.
Walter."
Reverently be bent over ler, press
ing a loving kiss upon tbe withered
lips, while tears that were no shame
to bis manhood stood in his eyes.
A few broken words to Eloie, a mur
mured prayer, and the gentle spirit
was released from tbe weary, pam-
ratked frame. Tears of true love
fell upon the wasted face, placid in
death's sleep. Every kind word was
cherished when the lips that had
spoken it were mute, and Aunt Julia
bad two true mourners at her funeral,
while many of the friends of years
cone bv came to pav the last tribute
of respect to her memory.
It did not surprise E'sio wh&a
learned that her Aunt Julia had
to her the fortune that came too
sbn
left
late
she
read
to gladden her own life. But
told Y alter, when the will was
to her ; j
"I am glud we never thought of j
the land, Walter, ia tbe years Aunt j
Julia wa with us. It would have
made me Lcsitate o'ten to show her
all the lore in my heart, if I had
ever thought she had money to leave
me."
"She knew, darling, it waa allbve,
yet I am glad ray Elsie has some re
ward for the patiout, tender care that
alleviated the sufferings of tbe poor
invalid who rests at last."
And Elsie, nestling close ia Wal
ter's arms, said softly :
"If I could love you more. Waller,
than I did when I married you, I
should do so wh&a I think of your
kindness and generosity to Aunt
Julia.'1
"It was odd," Walter said, "that
tbe money that Aunt Julia invested
in Chicago should be actually
doubled, for I have seen her weep of
ten when she spoke of ber 'unfortun
ate investment' of be friend's
legacy."

this wonderful feat:
When we look back upon the sub

in view of tbe fact that, at the very
DJUUlCUfa w ucii ik ucvutu . -
etary facilities it could obtain, tie
German government was locking op
gold in its cellars, in order to provide
metal for tbe new coinage it was
preparing. This was a most unlucky
coincidence; bat it existed, and Lad
to be met. The German plan was to
hold back tbe issue cf the new money
aatil 30,000,000 of it were ready to
be exchanged for the old sliver cur
rency; consequently no silver could,
be expected to leave Germany until
V
some months alter the date at which i
the gold had been brought in there;
and during the interval, ranee knew
that she must suffer from the with
drawal of so much bullion Iroui tho
general market.
But she found assistance iu au un
expected way; silver did flow back to
her at once from Germany, without
waiting for the issue of . the new
gold currency: France paid Germany
9,572,000 in France silver: but this
was no use to the latter; on the con
trary, it was aa embarrassment to
her, for she on the point of exporting
a quantity of her own silver which
would become superfluous as soon as
tbe new gold got into circulation.
io, for this reason, a considerable
portion of the French livefrance
pieces came back immediately to
France, and helped to reconstitute
her store.
And all tbe t ther difficulties were,
more or loss, liko this one. At first
sight they looked grave and durable,
but they diminished or disappeared
as soon as they were seriously at
tacked; the whole thing turned
out to be an astonishing example of
obstacles ovcratcd. The unsuspect
ed wealth of France, assisted by
an extent of general commercial
dealings wiiich was les3 suspected
still, managed to get the better of
all tl stumbling blocks ami itrt
possibilities which seemed to bar tbe
road.
France has lost i"d0,000,0i)0, or.c
half of which she Las delivered to
her enemy, and yet she is going ou
p.-osperiog materially as if nothing at
all had happened. But it is now quite
clear that she never eoald have
managed all tLU alone; she could
have found the money, but never
could she, single-handed, have car
ried it to tJeriuany.lt is there, fjr
more than in subscriptions to her
loans, that the worid ha3 really
helped her; she has brou.crht back the
stock that foreigners subscribed for
her, but she could not do so without
the bills they sold her. If she had
been left to her own resources for the
transport of the indemnity to Berlin,
she would probably have Leca forced
to send two-thirds of it iu bullion,
aud to empty her people's pockets for
tho purpose; the vastness of the
world's trade and the unity of inter
ests which commerce has produced,
permitted her to use other nations'
means of action instead of her own.
1 Viewed in this li?bt, tbe pavment of
the milliards becomes an enormous
piece of admirably well arranzeJ in

all the counting houses of Northern
Europe took a share.
Jewelry by tlto Ctaabrl.
From a rccttit letter from Constat!
tinople to the 1'rovideace Journal
we tjaote:
The accounts which are given of
the riches which arc hoarded in the
palace bavo tho savor cf the tales of
the Arabian Nights. Beyond doubt
a vast deal of wealth, in the form of
diamonds and precious stones, is ac
cumulated there. Tho ostentatious
display by the shah wf I'eria of bis
wealth in this direction, on the recent
tour of visitation with which be fa
vored Europe, is well known. Among
a profusion of jewels on his person,
he was accustomed to wear a cap
heavily embroidered with diamonds
and fastened at the front with a bril
liant of enormous size. Oa the oc
casion when the sultan wa3 to receive
him as his guest the grand staircase
and the corridor leading to the audi
ence room were, in anticipation of
the arrival cf the shah, ordered to be
laid with heavy Smyrna rugs studded
all ever with diamonds, emeralds and
sapphires, so that the royal visitor
was obliged to tread under his feet
the evidences of grealncs3 which be
wore on Lis head. The sultan re
ceived him, as he stepped upon the
staircase, in a plain dress, wearing
his usual simple fez of scarlet cloth,
and without personal crnament of
any kind. A neat bit of sarcasm for
a barbarian. If any risitor at Con
stantinople can procure a firman from
the Sublime Torte to visit the impe
rial treasury house at the old Serag
lio, where he will see more wealth in
jewel studded trinkets, diamond moun
ted sword Lilts, belts, scabbards,
horse furniture and caparisons, cups,
vaces, artic!c3 of Eastern workman
ship and single stones of immense
value, than would bur the crown
jewels ia the tower of London twice
over. A specimen of tee contents
of this repository in the Jorm or a
golden throne sttwitb precious stones
and which were formerly a present
from Persia, is to be sent to oar cen
tennial exhibition. It was one of the
contributions of Turkey to the Ticn
na exposition. Just now it is the
fashion for the women of the harem
to make costly presents totLe sultan.
These presents are usually something
j in the direction cf the national arraa
ment. The motber ot tin sultan
whosceni9 to have a head for busi
ness, has tbe credit of inventing this
substantial form of feminine bland
ishment. Somi; fine pieces of artil
lery have Ijeea thus contributed to
wake u"i the roval favor."

Strange Adventure-
A young Texan who was captured!
by the Comanche Ind.ajs about a
year ago gave the following account
of his experience recently to a cor
respondent of the (ialveston AVh".:
"I was trying to get five beef steers
back to th herd early one mcrning
last May, when I was suddenly sur
rounded by about twenty-Sve' Com
anche Indians and taken prisoner.
This happened uearsunrise. I was
tied on a horse and carried some
twenty miles that day. At night we
arrived at a sort of camp, where we
joined fifty more Indians, and I
louna tney naa anotntr wcite man
prisoner. 1 was not allowed to speak
with this man, but I could see from
the blood on bis face and clothes that
he wa3 wounded.
"As sooa as the Indians had
kindled a fire and eaten some meat,
they began to torture this second pris
oner, though for what reason I Lave
nevtr learned. Thev beat him with a
cartridge box strap with a larre!
buckle on tbe end of it, -ifter stripping
him of his clothes. . 11. -y cut gashes
on him with knives. They sawed
offhisthumbs with ari old cavalry
sabre, and smashed his tecs between
a rock and the butt eni of a carbine. I
After gouging out some of his teeth
. . . . ...
with a baronet, ami stickintr cactus
thorns ia his flesh, they poured pow
der ia his car and burnt it. All this
time the maa did cot complain' or
cry out, as he probably expected, by ;
h-o f.irtit inie. tf) induce the Indians to I
ku iif i',,r in tKU n-na
mistaken, for thev, finding that he
did not complain of thc.-c tortures,
began to cut pieces of flesh out of his
let's and back and cat them, or a;
least pretend to cat. I think they
only chewed up the flesh and spit it
out. .Seeing that all of this torture
did not make him cry out (far he had
fainted) the chief stepped up with a
sharp knife and cut out one of his
eyes, and put a live coal of lire in the j
socket and then put an end t bis life
with a knife.
"The Indians then Lad a great
dance. I was tied to a small tree.
I had no water or anything to cat
for thirtv-six tours. The next dav
abnut mid.'Jav the party moved ia a
northwest course, travelio
about
twenty miles, and after tf:
moved in a northwest course
s we i li
auoui
300 miles, whre we met several
large parties of Indians, some of
whom had been on raids ia northern
Texas. I remained in that section of
country with the Comanches, and
was kept employed mostly herding
ponies, aad sometimes dressing deer
skins and buffalo hides. My clothes
were all taken away from me a few
days after I was captured, aud I on
ly had a pair of drawers and a blanket
afterwards, I often had to cat raw
renision and buffalo meat without
salt."
After I had been with the Indians
some six months tbey ceased to treat
me as a prisoner, and I was allowed
to go some distance from tue camp.
I think it was about the 1st or r eoru
ary I left them. I was herding
ponies, and was allowed to ride one
of the best without a saddle. The
second night I took my buffalo robe
and used it as a saddle, filled a sack
with dried meat and strack out for
tbe settlements, which I reached
towards the last of the month. I
sold my horse and buffalo robe and
collected three months pay that was
doe rue a; the time I was captured;
and now, with God's help, 1 shall
keep out of the way of the Indians
hereafter."

Some time ago the Cologne Gazet!-',
a paper which holds in Germany

Friederich Batzel, to this country far
the purpose of studying the present

bis letters, which were very able and
much admired oa both side3 of the
Atlantic, this learned gentleman
prophesied, among other things, that
the German element ia the United

Anglo-Americanized. To most of
those who know anything of the life
and customs, this prophecy will seem
to have rather a remote chance of bo -
