BETTEB MOIEXTS.
ET X. P. WILLIS.
My mother's voice ! how often creeps
Its cadence in my lonely-hours !
Like healing sent on wings of sleep.
Or dew to the unconscious flowers.
I can forgot her melting prayer
While leaping pulses, madly fly,
But in the still unbroken air
Her gentle tones come stealing by.
And years, and sin, and manhood flee,
And leave me at my mother's knee.
The book of nature, and the print
Of beauty on the whispering sea,
Give aye to me some lineament
Of what I have been taught to be.
My heart is harder, but perhaps
My manliness hath drunk up tears.
And there's a mildew In the lapse
Of a few miserable years
But nature's book is even yet ,
With all my mother's lessons writ
I have been out al eventide
Beneath a moonlight sky of spring,
When earth was garnished like a bride.
And night had on her silver wing
When bursting leaves and diamond grass,
And waters leaping to the light,
And all that makes the pulses pass
Wilh wilder flc-ctnessthronged the night,
When ail was beauty, then have I
With friends on whom my love is flung
Like myrrh on the winds of Araby,
Gazed up where evening's lamp is hung.
And when the beautiful spirit there
Flung over me its golden chain.
My mother's voice came on the air
Like the light dropping of the raia.
And resting on smiie silver star
The spirit of a bended knee,
I've poured her low and fervent prayer
That our eternity might bo
To rUe in heaven like stars at night
And tread a living path of light ! ... '
I have been on the dewy hills.
When night was stealing from the dawn,
And nii&t was on the waking rills,
And tints were delicately drawn
In the gray cast when birds were singing,
And melody by tits was breaking

On the wet grass my fevered brow.

"if vou don't get ready to make

Mr. Drake started and glanced
sharply at her.

"Not that 1 am aware. But he

Drake, looking relieved nevertheless.

mind, for a man came around from
the rear of the tavern and paused be
fore her. ;
He was a rough, ungainly -looking
fellow, with bristling, yellow hair and
a face very badly scarred and dis
torted not a man to inspire trust,
by any means.
"Be you "Marian Drake?" he ask
ed. ' "
Marian nodded.
"Then this must be yoorn, I reck
on," and he produced a letter from a
hidden pocket ia his miner's garb.
"I have followed and tracked you
all the way to Luckenongh Gulch,
dearest. - i cou!4 not remain in New
York when you were gone. I am
waiting for you at the cross-roads,
half a mile from tbe tavern. Come
to roe at once. . Your Uncle must not
know I am near. The bearer of
this note will b your guide. Yours.
Fmdeeick Yaxcb."
She crumbled the note, and thraat
it into the pocket of her dress. It
was her .lover's t writing beyond a
doubt. ,j.
"Dear Fred!" she murmured, with
a thrill t f pleasure. "How be must
love me to follow me to tbe wilds oi
Montana! Of course I shall go to him
at once." Then turning to the man
she said, 'Are you here to conduct
me to the person who gent that
note?"
"I'm just that clap, mum."
"Then lead tbf way at once. We
have no time to waste." .
None indeed,, for tbe sun had
dipped into the ; mountain-gorge at
the west long before, and was now
slipping out of eight like a great red
ball of tire, droppingover the horizon
verge. Marian gave one hurried glance
behind her to be sure her uncle was
not in sight; and then stepped quickly
into the sandy road.
"Do you go on before," she said to
tbe man. . - , .
: He obeyed, muttering something
under his breath as be did so. As
tbey walked on ia this manner, his
tall massive frame looming up before
her through tbe purple twilight that
began to gather rapidly about them,
Marian could not help thinking what
a dangerous looking fellow he was.
"I shall tell Fred to send a messen

she thought laughing softly to ber-

She was happy, and iight-hearted
as a child, for nearly - three months
bad elapsed since she had parted

her shoulder.
"Come, my pretty d ;ar," he hissed,

The next instant a second ruffian
broke through tbe low shrubbery that
bordered the path, and coming op
quickly, took hold of Marrian's dis

"What are you going to do with

"i ou happen to be one too many
in this world, and we calkerlate to

with a laugh, "h.h, ateve:"
" l es, I reckon."
Then glanced from one to the
other with an eye of fire.
"Shame! shame! Has my uncle
hired you to kill me?" ,
"That's none of your business,"
retorted Bill, grinning his admiration
of ber spirit. "That's our own affair
altogether. All you have to do is to
yield up tbe ghost gentle, like."
Sbe said no more, but suffered tbe
ruffians to drag her lor some distance
along the rade patn. &ne saw
ibrouirb the whole vile plot These
men were Gustave Drake s hirelings
He had written that letter to which
Frederick Yane's name was signed
a very clear forgery, by tbe way,
since it bad deceived love's own eyes.
He meant to get rid of her and claim
all ber money, as she had hinted, up
at tbe tavern, so short a time before.
As next of kin, it would naturally
fall to him; and in this out-of-the-way
place no questions would be asked.
l'resently. wnen it naa grown
quite dusk, the men paused before a
half-ruined cabin, in the Heart oi tbe
wood.
"Here we are," said Steve. "All
quiet, Let's go in."
And tbey went in, compelling
Marian to accompany the nolens
volens.
At tbe door, Bill had taken the
precaution to tie a handkerchief round
her wrists, so that ber hands, which
he had drawn bthiod ber back, were

nearly tumbled headlong upon a pile
of straw, he said brutally.
"Now lie there, while" we strike a
light to finish the job."
Tbe glow of a lamp soon illumin
ated the place. It must have been
brought for this especial purpose, as
tbe cabin did not show signs of hav
ing been inhabited for a long while.
Marian glanced curiously around.
It was a wild place, nearly ready to
tumble down. In fact, a portion of
it what must have been a partition
dividing off a smaller room from tbe
main apartment had already fallen,
and its debris was piled near tbe op
posite wall.
Just against tbis pile of la ruber
stood a rude table, upon which the
lamp bad been placed; and a bottle of
whisky, produced frem Steve's capa
cious pocket, was ranged beside the
lamp, as if to keep it company.
Take a swig, Bill," said he. "It
will nerve you up for the business."
Thus invited, bill lifted tb bottle
to his lips and took a deep draught.
s "Now, Steve," said he, "I want to
knew if you. got the swag?"
"Humph! Of course I did. I made
old Drake chalk down."
"How inucb?"-
Six hundred!" and Steve slapped
bis breast pocket quite complacently.
"Hand it over," said his pal, rough
ly. "You've got to divide with me
now."
"No; I wont let it go out ot my hand
until the job is done."
"Don't fool with me," said Bill in
an ugly tone. "I want that money,
and I'm going to hare it I don't
trust a fellow like you."
A glare-of rage came into Steve's
eyes. He stepped quickly forward
and laid a pistol upon tbe table.
"Look here!" he exclaimed. I
dan't want to break with you, but
I'd put a bullet through your heart
in a jiffy if yoa tried to come any of
your shines over me.
"Would you?" roared Bill.
"Ay, curse you!"
"Will you hand that money over
here?"
"No, I won't"
Quick as a flash, the ruffian
sprang upon Steve, bearing bim away
from the table, oat of reach of the
pistol, before the latter realized his
purpose.
-You wouldn't give me my share
of the swag," hissed Bill, "and now
I'll take the whole of it"
They closed, tbe next instant But
Bill seemed to be the stronger of the
two, as the liquor he had drank in
furiated him, tor be had soon suc
ceeded in drawing a knife and was
cutting and slashing at his quondam
pal with savage violence, while the
latter found it a difficult matter to
parry the well-directed blows.
Marian watcb them as if tascinated.
Sbe bad raised from tbe pile of
straw, avnd stood transfixed, glariDg
breathlessly at the combatants.
Suddenly, in tbe midst of the strug
gle, she sa w a band and an arm thrust
slowly and noisiessly above the pile
of boards, and five white fingers
clutched the pistol that had been left
lying on tbe table.
Another breathless moment of sus
pense and Steve fell backward upon
tbe floor, pierced to the heart by the
knife of bis comrade.
"The enrsed fool brought it on him
self." muttered Bill, after a harrow-
stricken silence, gazing down at the
body with blood-shotten eyes. "I on
Iy wanted to share alike."
Shuddering all over, he now with
drew the knife, aed 6tepped towards
Marian, brandishing the bloody
weapon about bis bead.
"It's your tarn, my lass," he said.
Nearer and nearer he drew, hi
murderous purpose written all over
his ugly face. But just then in tbe
nick of time a tall, lithe figure sprung
up behind a lumber pile stole aerv
ously over the floor, unseen except by
Manas.
the next Instant the butt of a pis
tol came down with crashing force
upon Bill's bead. He reeled, swung
around, and lunged out at random
with his knife, swearing horribly all
the while. But the blow seemed to

his speeches, very obliging and will

thej were aeked at a proper time;
but there were alwaya many uncouth,
rode men who were usually present
when he spoke who differed from him
in their Tiewg, and they would often
make it a point to be impudent.
One of these fellows happened to
be present with hia friends on this oc
casion, and during Mr. Corwin's ad

tbe central dome of the temple. It is
iuitunate that no one was killed, for
the stone, it is stated, is ten feet long,
are broad, and four ia depth, and b'
longs to the inaer cornice of the tem
ple. The damage is imperceptible
to tbe eye, owing to the intense da-k-nes
in the interior of tbe edifice, but
the fall of tbe stone is a serious mat
ter for Juggernaut for this reason:
there is, it seems, a prophecy tbat
when tbe first stone ia unfastened tbe
temple shall not stand. The repairs,
it is estimated by the Oriaks, will
take at least fourteen years to com
plete, and during all tbis time no
public worship or festival in Poeree
is allowable. It is, however, not
surprising that the temble i a little
out of repair, for it was built by Ra
jah Anaogabhinia.Deva, of Orissa,
in the middle of the twelfth century,
and during tbe last seven hundred
years not a trowel has been laid up
on it for the purpose of repair. The
dome is composed of immense blocks
of stoae, not kept together by ce
ment or mortar of any kind, but
made fast by an elaborate process of
dovetailing, tbe slabs being arrang
ed in horizontal layers narrowing to

"Yes, sir, we planted small corn."
"Ah! but what makes it look so yel
low?"
"We planted yellow corn, bi."
"Well, I don't think you'll make
more than half a crop," said ihe trav
eler as he moved off.
"No!" says the tow-headed young
ster, raising his voice, "we don't ex
pect tc make but half a crop; we
only planted on shares any way."
Tbe traveler trotted away", per

An English journal says tbat a de
cidedly novel invention has been sug
gested during the last few days. It
is to affix lamps to the telegraph
poles by the side of tbe railways, and
enable the telegraph optrators at the
nearest station to light tbem by elec
tricity whenever there is danger on
the road, tbe idea baing that as soon
as the driver of a train saw these
Iigbt3 burning he would bring his
engine to a stand still and remain
standing until he received instruc
tions to proceed.
