BY CHAELE H. l.RfSDT. 1 wulkdl tlirough a pleasant valley In the days when my life was young, And woixllnnc ami red-tippol n Over my patliway liung. And down at my feet a titrcamlet Murmured a silvery song, And the flowers lient low to lWcn, And wept as it flowed along. The sunbeams dain-ei on its waters, The lilies lay on its breast, And I siiil, I will follow onward And see where it sinks to rest. The gloom of the forest deepen'd. There was shallow on every side. And the streamlet drew to a river. And dark was the rushing tide. Xo lunger the rose nnd woodbine IUu-lied warm with the light of love. For thorny now was the patliway. And black was the sky alove. I stood 'neath the drooping willows. But I saw the brook no more; And I lost its whisjiered music In the torrent's angry roar. Alas for the sparkling streamlet Alas for the sunny sky ! .So life grows ever darker As the days creep slowly by. WHY I JOINED THE DETECTIVES. Can 1 sit with vou o" "CVrtainlv, pir." "Nice weather?" "Splendid, indeed." "Crops growing finely ?" "Yes wouldn't do better." I was pitting in a car on a Wiscon sin railroad, one day, years ago, when a good-looking, pleasant-spoken man came along, (stopped at rav seat, and the above conversation took place, the latter part of it after I had given him part of mv seat. Now', I 'am regarded as a social man. I like a joke ; more so then than now. On entering a railroad; oar I always look(d about for a talk ative man, and then I got as close to him as possible and drained him dry, if the journey was long enough. And I want to suite one thing more. lA-ft an orphan liefore I could realize the sad event which made me one, I gt kicked here and cuffed there, and grew up lietween folks, as they say. I ought to have had, at the" time of which I write, a pretty thorough knowledge of human na ture, and have been able to read evil in a man s face 11 he lntenactl me evil. I did not pride mvself on be ing over sharp, but the knocking around among strangers ought to have given any one a good experi ence. Well, the stranger and I fell into an easy tram ot conversation as we rode together, and in ten minutes I began to enjov his company. He was a well made fellow, finely dress ed, and wore a fine watch and a si mon-pure diamond ring. . 1 never saw a man wno couiu unit so easy and so pleasantly. It seemed that he had but to open his mouth and the words fell right out. I had travelled in the South; so had he. I had heard the roar of the Pacific ; he knew all about it I had been up in a ball xn, down in a mine, been blown up, smashed up and re paired again ; my new friend had ex jierieneed all these things, and was wishing for something of a more startling nature. We agreed on pol ities, neither had any religion, and I had never met such a railroad com panion. Did you ever meet a man who, though a stranger to you ten min utes before, could wrest from you your secrets which you had sworn to yourself not to reveal ? Well, he was such a man. It was not long liefore he commenced asking me questions. I le did not seem to try to quiz or draw me out, but he asked me ques tions in such a sly, round-about way, that lioforc I knew it I was giving him my history. I was at that time just on the point of being admitted to the bar of Wisconsin aa a student of Law & Law, of liriefville. The firm were old lawyers with a lucrative prac tice, and it hail lieen talked over that in about a month I should lie the "Co." of the firm. A year before, a fanner named I'rcston, down about four miles from Grafton, died, and his matters had lieen put into the hands of Iaw fc Iaw for settlement. Preston had died rich. He had money in bank, railroad st4 k and mortgages, etc., and everything was settled up to the satisfaction of the relict ami fatherless, About a ypflr Wore his death, be ing rJuohed for money, and not wishing to sell anything at a sacri fice, Preston had given a mortgage on his farm for $3,000. While the papers read "for one year from date," there was a verbal agreement that it should be lifted any day that Pres ton desired. A month after, when, having the funds to clear off the pa per, the "old money bag" holding it refused to discharge, wishing to -secure his interest for a vear. . I was on my way to learn the date of expiration. A fire among my of fice papers had destroyed my memo randa, and I must go down and get the date from old Grip, who lived south of Grafton, about five miles. The stranger pumped all this out of me in about ten minutes, and yet I never once suspected he was receiv ing any information. "I am not positive," I added, "but I am pretty sure the time is the 13th, whicli would be on Tuesday next" ' "And then your folks will send down the money and discharge the mortgage, of course," he queried. "Oh, yes, I shall most likely bring it down," I replied, and it neve? occurred to me how imprudent was.. He turned the conversation into other channels and, fyl n4 once at tempt to, pvujx bc. fv .her. We got to Grai at, faoO, and, to my great surprise, lie announced that he was to, stoii in town on business for a few days. I had not asked his name or avocation, while he knew everything atiout me. We went to the hotel, had dinner, i and then I secured a livery team and j drove out, getting through with bus iness so that I was back to tike the 3:20 exnress east My friend was on the 'porch of the hotel as I drove up, carrying the same honest, digni fied face. set ESTABL ISHED,' 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, "Well, did you find out?" he in quired, in his pleasant way. "Yes, it was on the 13th", as I ex pected," I replied. We Lad lunch together, and when we shook hands and parted I had no more idea of ever meeting him again than I had of; knowing you. In fact, he told me that he should sail for England within a. week or ten days, and should not return to America, At parting he gave me his card. It wa a modest piece of pasteboard, and bore the name of 'George Ilaleigh." in old Enzlish script Everything at the office went on as usual, and the 13th came at length. Law & Law had -arranged with me to go down with the money, .and I looked Uxn it as a business of no special importance. "We know you are all right," re marked the senior partner, as I was about to go, "but I want to give you a word of warning, nevertheless. Don't take anv Btransrers into vour confidence until you have passed out tne money, and loot out who sits next to you." ' It was sometlung new for him to caution me, and I could not but wonder at it; but in the bustle of getting aboard the train I forgot what he had said. Ordinary pru dence had induced me to place the money, which was all in bank bills and divided into three packages, un der my shirt and next to my skin, where the deft hand of a pick-pocket could not reach it Interested in a newspaper, time flew by as the train flew past, and at length the hoarse voice ot the brake man warned me that I had reached Grafton. I had leaped down and was ' making for. the livery stable when I heard a familiar voice, and looked up to see Raleigh. He was seated in a buggy, and had seeming ly waited for me to come in. Don t exnress your surprise, he; began, as 1 stopied at the wheel. "I did intend to go away ; I changed my mind, and like this section so well that I am going out to-day to look at a farm with a view of pur chasing come, ride up to the ho- tel."r -: 1 We rode up, ordered lunch, and while we were discussing it Mr. Ral eigh discovered that the farm he was going to see was just beyond that of old Grip's. ; How fortunate ! I could ride- out with him, see the farm, return in his company, and he was greatly pleas ed. I was also pleased. If any one had told me as wc got into the bug gy that George Raleigh meant to re turn with my money in his pocket and my blood upon his hands, I should have believed him a lunatic and yet George Raleigh had planned to do that very thing. ; It was a lovely day in June, and the cool ' breeze and the sight of meadows and green groves made my heart grow larger. My companion was very talkative, but he didn't even hint at my errand. He talked as far away as Jie could. "Oh ! excuse me !" he exclaimed, after we had passed a mile beyond the village, and were among the farm houses. "I should have otter ed you this before." He drew from his jxx'ftet a small flask of wine and handed it to me. Now, I was temierate in regard to drinks. In fact, I detested the sight and smell of anything intoxicating. But I had not the moral courage to tell him so, and hand back the flask undisturlied. I feared to offend him, and so I drank perhaps three good swallows. He called my attention to the woods on the left its he receiv ed back the flask, and when I look ed around again lie was just remov ing it from his mouth, as if he had drank heartily. In about five minutes I began to feel queer. The fence along the road seemed to grow higher and the trees grow larger ; something came to my ears that the rattle of the buggy sounded a long wav off. "How strange! Why, I believe I am going to be sick !" I exclaimed, holding on to the seat with all my might "You do look strange," ho replied, with a snaky smile stealing over his face ; "I shouldn't wonder if it was apoplexy." I did not suspect the game he had played. His words were like an echo, and his face seemed twice as large as it was. My head began to spin and my brain began to snap and crack, stnd I was greatly fright ened. "You arc badly off," lie continued, looking up into my face. "I will drive as fust as possible and get a doctor." My tongue was so heavy that I could not reply. I clutched the seat, shut my eyes, and he put his horse at his best pace. Wc met a farmer's team, and I can remember that one of the occupants of the wagon callud out to know what ailed that man. I Raleigh did not reply, but urged his ' horse forward. About three miles from . Grafton was a large stretch of forest, and this was soon reached. The pain in my head was not so violent, and I was not so badly affected when opening my eyes. 1 had settled into a sort of dumb stupor, with a brain so be numbed that I had to say to mvself: "This is a tree; that is a stump, etc., before I could make sure I was not wrong. Half a mile down the road after we struck the forest, and then Raleigh turned the horse into a blind road leading back into the woods. I could not understand what he in tended. I tried; to grapple with the question, b could not solve it. ''Well, here we are!" exclaimed ftak'igh, when we had reached a point about forty rods from the road. lie stopped the horse, got out and hitched him, and then came round to the wheel. " You don't just feel right, but 1 guess you will be better soon," he remarked. "Come, let me help you down. He reached up his arm?, and I let go the seat and fell into them. It seemed to me as if I weighed a ton, but he carried me along without an effort, and laid me down within about a rod of a fence which ran along on one side of an old pasture. Just now I began to get a little bet ter. The effects of the drug were JUNE 9, 18S0. wearing off, and I got a fair suspicion i that something unusual had haiv-i pened.' But I was too powerless . xo move a nmu ; tne sensation was like that when your foot goes to sleep. "Can you speak?" inquired Ral 2 , , eigh, bending over me : "because if vou can it will save me some trouble. I want to know iust where you have stored that money J Now I began to realize my situa tion. His face looked natural again, and the load was off my tongue. I also felt that I could move my fin gers a little. "George Raleigh ! are you going to rob me ?" I asked, finding my voice at last. "Well, some folks might call it 'robbing,' but we dress up the term a little by calling it the only correct financial way of equalizing the float ing currency, so that each one is pro vided for and no one left out." "You shan't have the monev. I will die first!" I yelled, rising a little. "Ah, I set didn't take quite enough," he coolly remarked. "Well, 1 have provided tor this. He went to the buggy, procured ropes and a gag, and kneeled down beside me. I had but little strength yet, and he conquered me in a mo ment Lying on my right side, look ing toward the fence, he tied my hands behind me, and then forced the gag into my mouth. 1 here, now ! i ou are nicely fixed up, and all because you acted like a fool, instead of a sensible young lawyer, soon to be admitted to the bar.'" While he was sjieaking, indeed while he was tving me, I had caught sight of the white face of a little girl looking at us from between the rail of the fence. I.could see her great blue eyes, and knew that she was frightened. There were red stains around her mouth and on the little hand resting on the rail, and I knew that she was some fanners child searching fi r strawberries. I could not warn her of her danger, and I feared that she would be seen or heard. While Raleigh was tying the last knot, I winked at the little girl as hard as 1 could, hoping that she would move a,way. But sne did not J .. ell, nw for the money, said Raleigh, and he began searching my pockets. lie went from ope to the other,' removing all the articles; felt down my boot-leg, , and then finally passed his hand" over my bosom, and lound the money. "Ha! here it is!" he exclaimed, drawinjj out the . package. I don't hardly believe that old Grip will see anv of this to-day." lie sat down near my head, undid the package, and was cool enough to go at i$ to count the money. . As he commenced the little girl waved her hand at dkv ; My heart went thump ing, for I extracted that she would utter a word or shout ; but she sank down from sight, and I caught sight of her frock as she passed 'through the grass. "You see, my young friend," re marked Raleigh, as he drew off one of his boots and dejiosited some of the bills in it, .there s nothing like transacting business as it should lie transacted, stone men would have shot or stabbed you, but it's only the apprentices who do such work. All the real gentlemen of our calling do business as gentlemen should." He drew off the other boot and placed some "fifties" and "twenties" in it, and then continued : "I have it all planned out how to deal with you as soon as I get this money disposed of around my per son. I shall lay you on your back and pour the balance of the wine down your throat There's enough of it to make you sleep until to-morrow night, and by that time I shall be hundreds of miles away.

He had me a fast "prisoner, and I felt that he could do just as he pleased. While I was thinking, I saw the little white face appear le tween the rails again, but in a mo ment it faded away and its place was taken by the sun-burned phiz of a farmer. He looked from me to Raleigh and back again, and I wink ed at him in a-way that ho readily understood. His face disappeared, and I felt that I should be saved.

The following interesting descriiv- tion of an Irish peasant's home is thus given by the Youth' Cwnptn- ton : Imagine a level country, with few trees and no forests, cut up into very small irregular fields by stone walls. It is of sUdi land that insh farms are composed. In most countries there is a great deal of boggy, swampy land, from which the fanners cut peat, w hich serves them as fuel. An Irish farm is generally atxjiit as large as an ordinary village green of New York or New England, say, from five to fifteen acres. In some districts, a farm of ten acres is con sidered rather large, and is often the sole supixirt of an immense tamuv father, mother, ten children, and, perhaps, an old grandmother. Jioston Common contains lortv- eight acres of land. It would make six good-sized Irish farms, which would maintain fifty or sixty human beings, half-a-dozen cows, a horse or two, some donkeys and many pigs, besides paying about three hundred dollars a year to the landlord, anil something to the priest. In good seasons, all this teeming and swarming life can just be maim tained. But, suppose a crop fails! Suppose the peat cannot K dried! Then what? Why, hunger and star vation, of course. And, rememlter, that there are no factories or other business to fall back upon. If the crops fail, all fail. If the crops of New England should le as iHxr this year as thev were in Ireland last year, it would lie a great calamity, but a very few persons would go hungry on that account. The fisheries, the shops, the facto ries, the commerce, and the savings bank, would go on about as usual, and the jieople would buy their food from other States. Irish farms do not lie all along a high oad, as with us. Farms are liehind farms ; and a great many of them can only be reached by a dou kev path three or four feet wide. All the work ia done by hand. The fields are dug, not plowed, and many farmers have no implements but a spade, a hoe, and a turf-cutter, and no vehicle except a small donkey cart. The farm house in generally one story high, and very often consists of a single large room, with perhaps a recess for a bed. It is commonly built of stone, with a roof or thatch, but many of the houses are made of earth, with a hard floor of home made cement In this one room the dairy work is done, and all the fam ily live, the pig coining in ami going out as he pleases. Are the people then niserableand degraded ? By no means. When the harvest w good and the rent reason able, they are among tle most cheer ful people in Euro-, and, in all the world, there is no larnl -where the women are more modest and pure. The children arc ruddy and robust The houses are generally clean and neat. The people enjoy .'life so much upon those little black, Hoggy fanns, that when they emigrate to America or Australia, they sometimes almost die of homesickness. In Jail at Last. . l Rochester plumes it-x.if upon a) "woman with a history." Sue was the daughter of a wealthy grain dealer of Toronto, from whom she received a small fortune. Married to a young merchant in St. Catha rines, she left him, removing all the available funds she wild carry away. At Bufl'ah , whither she went, she lived a fast .'.it'e, and is said to have been married again in that city. She first :ent to Rochester in 1804, cngtigtxl a suite of rooms, and was seen urtoni the streets dailv. j She had a rarru ge at her order and servants to do her Didihng. r rom 1S(',7 to lSfW ishe was absent from the city, having squandered her money. She went to Cleveland, where she enjoyed life as she had in lioehester. Iter carnage was at the door when she wanted it ; servants went and came, and jewelry and fine tresses were abundant Pleasures failed at last and false stimulants were resorted to. She sought relief by taking opium. Returning to Roctiester she lived very quietly for a time, but soon ascertained that she had only to touch the wire ami money would come from Cleveland. She telegraphed and the old life of extravagance was renewed. Mie at times would buy S10O or &M) worth of goods a day, only to give them away. At one hotel she was noted for her liberality to the ser vants, to whom she gave dresses and jewelry without regard to their cost She is supposed to have spent about 850,000 in a little over two years. The end came at last, tho Cleveland fund failing.- The hotel was left, and jioorer quarters taken. Then she began to buy right and left without paying for anything, and now she is" in jail awaiting triaL "Yes," she says, "I have taken opi um for- years. I use two ounces a day now, and have for some time. The doctors say it is enough to kill me, but I cannot stop it I went to the cure at Dansville, where I tried to break the habit by taking a small er quantity; but it was no use. The struggle was worse than the effects of the opium, and I left the cure. I feel at times as if I must follow every impulse, and I cannot resist always." .... WHOLE NO. 1509.
