Vi bat if, while I sit here alone,
A voice I hare not heard for years
Should greet me in the low, sweet tone
That onca was music to ruy ears ;
And I should start from memory's sway,
And, turning, find you sitting there
Unchanged, as though 'twere yesterday
Yonr feet went trippling down the stair.
Or, if, upon some summer dsy,
'Mid song of birds and bum of bees,
I should o down the woodland way
To our old tryst beneath the trees ;
And startiag back in glad surprise.
I should behold you waiting there.
The old light shining in your eyes
The sunlight tangled in your bair.
In vain I shall not see the glow
Of wine-brown eves or catch the smile
Of ruby lit; but yet 1 know
That you are near me all the while.
For I so loved you in that rage
of suany years that my poor heart
Would bleed atreah and count it strange
To think Uod help us far apart.
And so, when evening shadows creep
And night falls softly o'er the lea.
You touch my eyelids and I sleeps
And sleeping, dreams of heaven and the.
And when some summer morn shall break
That fan ils mechilled by death's cold dew
You need but kiss me I shall wake,
And waking, be in heaven with you.

In theetragiug, forlorn, unbeau
tiful Northumbrian village of Black
ford there was, half a century ago,
only one comfortable looking build
ing. It wag not one of the dwellings
of the coal and lime carters, the
Ledger and ditchers, or the drainers,
who formed the bulk of the popula
tion, for their lew drooping roofs,
mended here and there with tar
paulin, spoke too eloquently of
damp, draught and over pressure;
it was not the red-tiled croft-house
inhabited bv William Allen, the
clever, lazy, kindly, cock-fighting,
dog fancying, boxing, wrestling,
swimming, beekeeping tenant of the
little farm, for oac leordom and neg
kct had combined with Willie's
devotion to hobbies of one kind and
another to create ol it and us sur-
loundings an embodiment of pic
turesque disorder : it was not the
great austere loekine, square built
1'rwsbyterian meeting house, with
its prison like walls and narrow
windows; far less was it the slated,
shabby genteel manse, for in cold
wcatfier the effect of the whitewash
upon it was to threate j the specta
tor with a lit ot the ague. o; no
any gusty day in November, when
the very trees on the hilltops seem
ed to have turned their shivering
backs to the breeze that whistled
through their branches and whirled
away their red-tinted leases in a
madcap dance, and the diminutive
oot house looked, almost as though
crouching to escape the blast, which
the gaunt old mans faced in hag
gard despair, the lied Lion Inn
alone, with its comfortable overcoat
of impervious thatch, retained its
aspect of quiet comfort, and toward
evening the ruddy glare of its kitch
en fire preesingly invited the toil
worn cotters to forsake their scold
ing wives and brawling children,
their scanty fires and draughty
houses, and enjoy its comfortable
warmth. And often at the game
time, there would be a light at one
of two attic windows that peered
out from the roof like a pair of open
gray eyes from under lids of thatch.
For one of tnese attic rooms was the
favorite resort of Adam Black, the
thriving publican of Blackford.
Hither to at night did he often re
sort, if business was dull below, to
smoke his pipe, to think over his
plans and to calculate his ingoings
and outgoings; for, as he would
sometimes remark : "It took a deal
of worry for a man as could neither
read nor wriie to keep a true reckon
ing," and Adam's natural abilities
had not been brightened up by edu
cation. That did not hinder him from be
ing greatly liked and respected in
Blackford. The wost that could be
said abouthim was that he was rather
hard, and as a matter of fact there
wss little softness in his nature,
though he never failed to greet his
customers with a smile and a jest,
and if the smile was a little mechan
ical and the jest the worst for wear,
it mattered little to quiet country
folks, who were not ashamed to
laugh at the twentieth repetition of
a witticinm. And it was everywhere
agreed that he kept a model public
house never, for instance, al. owing
any fighting to go on in a conspicu
ous place, but forcing the comba
tants to have it out, if they really
meant business, in a secluded back
yard, where they could bLck each
other's eyes with th,? most perfect
safety and comfort. Any man
might go to the Ked Lion with the
assurance that he would not be
made a fool of. Adam, knew the
drinking capacity of every full
grown male in the neighborhood of
Blackford.and would let nene trans
gress his limit, or, if an accideut did
happen, generally managed to avoid ,
anything in the nature of a public
exhibition. And beeidts the villa
gers all knew him to be, in their
own languages game as a bantam.
At times Adutn might in bargain
making show himself not very scru
pulously above board, and general
ly speaking, what he couH get he
took, but nevertheless he steered
notably clear ot paltry meanness,
and he was known to be stubbornly
faithful to all his friends a man,on
the whole, with a conscience not too
troublesome, but fr from dead.
In domestic life Adam was a
martinet. He ruled his son Aleck,
his red haired servant Bet, and even
his niece Kitty with & rod of iron.
Prompt obedience was the unwrit
ten law of the household. Only
Kitty, besides being the smartest,
prettiest and cleverest girl in .Black
ford, was so wayward and spirited
that not even her nncle, who liked
her better than he liked anybody
else in the world, was able to keep
her entirely under control.
It was agreat grief to Adam when
he found out that Kitty was in a
mood to throw herself away upon
Willie Allen Not that he disliked
Willie nobody could do that but
he thought him unlikely to be a
good husband.thatis a thriving one,
able to keep his family comfortable, 1
for ne never gave his mind to his
business, but wasted his time over
what Adam sometimes called his
menagerie, for the croft-house was
almost a Noah's ark in its way. The
chance visitor was certain to find at
every season of the year a litter of
pups before the kitchen fire, and an
old owl and still more ancient mag
pie carried on an unceasing strug
gle for the favorite perch above the
kitchen clock. bat had once been
the best bed-room was converted
into a flight for canaries, and there
were always hanging about cages
containing finches, linnets, thrushes,
blackbirds, and even sparrows, for
Willie was a noted experimentalist
in the art of crossing, and could
show an assortment of the most
trangely marked hybrids. The
garden was stocked with bees and
the barn with Russian rabbits.
Twenty different kinds of fancy
poultry were allowed to spoil the
crops, and the dovecote was inhabi
ted by as many varieties ot pigeons.
In the pig-sty he had a tame bad
uer. and there was a litter of foxes
in one out-house and an otter in
another. Whatever had life had a
deep interest for Willie, as it had a
deep interest for his lather before
him, for, as well may be imagined,
these tastes were inherited. But he
gratified them at the expense of
agriculture. Everybody said the
croft would pay splendidly to a
man who knew how to work it, but
the Aliens were not likely to make
a fortune there or anywhere else.
It was, therefore not without rea
son that Adam was set against his
niece taking up with Willie. He
considered it would be throwing
herself away. And he believed that
he possessed a powerful instrument
for enforcing his own view for he
had full command of Kitty's little
fortune, something like 100,left her
ness his niece had not expected to
find. - - . ' i' -1
"Bairn,'' he said, "ya'il roe a life
time if ye marry a' man like that.
It might be fine a twelvemonth, but
after he'll get worse than ever, and
the work and anxietyll all fall on
you. Better take a man like Aleck,
that you can depend on to keep you
comfortable thaa . one like Allan,
that'll expect you to take care o'
him." . :
- Ah !" replied Kitty, M had Aleck
Deen the man bis lather is X would
never have looked to another, but I
cannot trust him
" That's where you're wrong, lass.
Sandy's a well-bred lad, both on the
mothers side and the fathers.
There's not a better bred lad in
Blackford, and blood is sure to tell.
Hi may be quiet, but he's game,
1 warrant you. 1 could trust him
with all I had." . .
You'd better not, uncle : and as
to the breeding, do you mind Meg's
last pups that you expected to be so
good, and still had. to drown, tor,
says you, she bred back ? W ell,
think Sandy's been bred back, and
that'it whv I want nothing to do with
him."
" JNo, no, Kitty, it AlecK was
what you say, I would have kicked
him to the door sooner than let you
marry hjm. But he's a true lad, for
all bis backwardness, and has a
strong notion for you a strong na
tion lor you," Adam repeated.
" But if Aleck was a bad, treach
erous man, aud didn t care a bit lor
me, would you leave me free to take
anybody I like?" queried Kitty.
cartainly, sartainly, answered
her uncle.
Well, if I thought his blood as
good as his breeding I would ' take
hi ib to-morrow," began Kitty ' '"but
she stopped, for Adam was not lis
tening. Something had caught his
by making it a by-word, and he the full extent of the crime began or, and he gave him the directions

by her father, Adam's elder brother, eye outside, and a stranger to his
who had preced3d him in the occu
nation of the Bed Lion. Whatever
it amounted it was all in the big box
that stood in Adam's favorite attic
room,who like many other country
folks of that time, held that his sav
ing could not be safer than under
bis own lock and key.J
"If you marry Allen," he said to
Kitty, and she new that no nice
scruples about right and wrong
would hinder him from keeping his
word, "not a penny will you get
from me!"
The truth is that he had quite
another scheme in his head. Why
should Kitty look beyond his son'
leck? I rue, thev were cousins,
but the prejudice against cousins
marrying was not strong in the
neighborhood and then what advan
ttgts there were ! Kate was a splen
did manager, and Aleck, though he
bad not his father spirit and clev
erness, was a hard worter and very
careful too careful, some 'people
said, for whfreas his father was only
keen and saving, he was as mean
and hard as a miser. But in match
making these are not defects to
make a party ineligible and best of
all, thought Adam, "there 11 be no
need to divide the money." And
according he spared no effort to en
fore his will, so that poor Kitty had
a hard time of it. what with her
uncle's threats and the no more
agreeable, persuasions of her money
grubbing suitor, iet she was too
spirited to yield, and in her inmost
mind was resolved to have both the
sweetheart and the money, for who
i;eedd it if not careless, squander
ing Willie ?
It was i o fault in her eves that
her lover cared nothing whatever
for her fortune, though she would
scold and rate him well for his in
difference. One winter night, as
she was returning from a neighbor
ing village about three miles off, to
which she had been sent by her
uncle, Willie quite accidentally met
her, and they had a happy walk
homeward along a lane.on the snow
covering of which the moonlight fell
fair and sofdy, making the hard
wheel tracks glitter and silvering the
half-block, half-whitened hedgerows.
Willie never before had seemed so
true and earnest and loyal as Kittv
poured into his ear the story of her
persecution
"Never mind, lass," he said ; "let
him keep the money. I've little.
but I'm not in debt, and if you'll
but promise to come to the croft 111
ves, Kitty I'll sell every live
thing I have and work day and
night for you.'
"No, no, Willie, there's no use for
that; but do you think I'll give up
my rights to please that wretched
Aleck ? It's just what he wants, for
me to marry you and leave every
thing to him. He would be pleased
to see me quarrel with uncle, for it's
not me but the money he wants.
But if he proposes again, do you
know, I've a good mind to take him
at his word, just out of spite. That's
the worst I could do to him "
"Whist! whiet!" Willie interrup
ted her with ; "you're jokin', lass ;
but 1 dinna like it. Say anything
but that. You would never leave
me for a bit of dirty gold."
"Would I not?" queried Kitty,
who was an incorrigible tease,
"you'll mavbe see me make a run
away match of it ave and glad you
would be after a while to get quit of
me. But here s the door. If I am
not away, I'll maybe be in the wood
on Sunday night,'" and she was off,
leaving Willie to go home so thought-
j ful that he quite forgot to feed his
tame fox until awakened in the
night by bis yelping, a thing that
had never happened in his life be
fore. Business was very dull in the
Red Lion next afternoon, and Adam
retired to his attic room, where Kitty

sat knitting. Meg, the celebrated
black and gray hound, of which
Adam was very proud, stretched its
aristocratic body out on the rug,
while besides it reclined a very dif
ferent looking dog. The roughhort,
curly hair of the latter was that of a
terrier, but its long face and limbs
and slender contour demonstrated
its relation to the breed of which
Meg was a pure and beautiful speci
men. Jake as he was called, was
the very mongrel for a poacher. .
Adam's conversation did not re
late to his bounds however, but to
his son. He referred to Willie Allan
habits might have thoucht him
wrapped in contemplation' of the
winter sunset's reddened clouds, or
the snowy landscape. The window
commanded a view of a forty acre
field which stretched away from the
villagcardens to a great thick wood
from which it was separated by a
brook. In the very middle of it
stood a solitary tree, the boughs of
which shone like dark tracery in the
evening light. " Look yonder," said
Adam, pointing to the foot of this
tree.
A timid, limping, hungry hare,
probably tempted by the remem
brance of the vegetables it had some
times on moonlight nights found in
the gardens, was making toward
them in little starts and runs, follow
ed bv stopDanes. durinc which it
would listen with its long ear prick
ed up to listen to or scent danger.
Could any Blackford man look on
that sight unmoved ? It might have
turned the old minister himself into
a ooacher. and the temptation was
quite too strong for Adam. The very
dogs, by the eager way in which
they starred up to follow him, seem
ed to see a chance of sport in his
looks.
He was no sooner gone than Kitty
did a very curious thing. Returning
to her own apartment, she hurridly
produced a big bunch of old keys
and began trying the lock of Adam's
chest until she got one te fit. Then
she opened it and looked in.
But no pile of gold met her eye.
Adam had a second box within the
big one, and it too was locked. Kitty
did not seem at all disappointed.
Without touching anything in the
box, she left the lid fall, carefullv
locked it, and put her keys baok
where she had found them.

the armchair in the corner, she
plainly said, by look and move

Aleck, her cluwsy lover, did not
lack the inclination to respond, he
possessed none of that spirit ot gal
lantry which ought to have made
him quick to take the hint. Kilty's
eyes were beginning to twinkle with
amusement at her and his own em
barrassment, when luckily Adam
looked in with the hare, but he for

friendly. "Aha !" be - cried, "but
you are too sly ones courtin' like

away and left them.
"What do you thinkof that, now?"
said Kitty, laughing.
"I wish it was true," said Aleck.
"That is because you're a fool."
said Kitty. "What on earth should

"If I were a man like you. Aleck,

"If that's all .your trouble, I know

No sooner was he gone than a
tremendous bustle began in the pub

Sunday. Aleck did not know what
to take and what to leave,

Darkness was just falling when
the two fugitive's emerged from the
Red Lin. The peacefu1 villagers
were all within doors, for it was
bitterly cold, and the sharp north
wind had begun to drive stray flakes
of bcow in front of it. Which way
1 should : they take ? There could be
no doubt of that ; down the bill by
the foot road, across the brook by
the single plank bridge, through the
wood until the highway was reached,
and the: i a bold push to get across
the border. Jtlanv a Northumber
land lad aud lass in the old time
had trudged to the altar in that
style, but few of the gallants carried
a treasure with them such as was
under Aleck's arm. Many a sharp
look . the runaways cast on every
side, lest there should beany suspi
cious witness of their flight, but not
a soul did they see, and the friendly
snow dropped softly ou their treach
erous footprints. Neither said a
word till they reached the old wil
low, near which the brook was
crossed by the trembling plank.
Then Kitty grew nervous.
" I'm frightened to cross the burn,"
she said ; " go you first."
" Be quick, then," he answered ;
"111 hold it"; and, getting swiftly
to the other side, he seized the end
of the unsteady bit of wood.
But, instead of following at once.
Kitty screamed: "There's Jack!
your father must be chasing us!"
Aleck stood undecided a moment,
then dashed the frail bridge into
the water. " Hide where you can,
he shouted; "he can't jump the
burn, and I'll make off with the
money."
Oh ! he'll kill me." pleaded the
girl. "Dan't run awav from me,
Aleck."
" You shouldn't have been so
slow," he retorted, with the box al
ready under his arm.
"Stop, you blackguardly thief!
Stop, I say !" hoarsely shouted bis
father, running up from where he
bad been looking after some rabbit.
But the son turned in terror and
fled not far, however, for a new
comer appeared on the scene. Willie

Kittie, though he hardly expected

" Halloa," he said, placing himself

"Fell him dead!" yelled Adam.
' Let h:m go," said Kittv, but so
softly that her lover chould not make

" You'd better turnback," he said
to Alek. but the fugitive, brousut
to bay, was desperate.

from his pocket.

and the vengeful blade of his adver

Adam was in ecstacier. " Bring

Willie lifted it but on feeling the
weight, said :

you drop it or try any tricks, III

" Let me carry it around by the

oughly cowed Sandy.
" No, by heaven I" said the other,
' through the burn you go ; " and,
willing er not, he forced him to ford
the current which a moment after
he himself cleared in a running leap.
"What is it all about?'' he then
found time to ask. !

With that they all began silently
to retrace their steps, only Kitty

very thoughtful. Just as they were
coming to the door he said to Adam
in a low, troubled voice, which he
tried hard to make indifferent:
"Look here, Adam, you haven't
lost anything by this row, and there
isn't any use in exposing her, is
there ?"
" No," was the reply ; "but since
they're so fond I'll make them mar
ry and est up house by themselves."
With that they entered the kitchen,
where Aleck, all shivering with his
bath, deposited the box on the floor.

"Bet's box!" said Aleck; and
"Bet's box!" echoed Adam and

"Sure enough, it is not my box,"
said the uncle, dragging it into the
light; "it's tho same size, but not

That was soon discovered. The

he was so cheerful, so obliging, and
so rigorously and scrupulously exact
in carrying out every order given
him. On last Tuesday Mr. J. B.

Omaha Chilled Plow Works, put up
at the hotel. Mr. Johnson is a very
dignified and polished gentleman,
and extremely particular about his

very extraordinary thing occured.
Some say it was about 9 o'clock;

Mr. Johnson was amazed to see the

"Who the devil are you ?'' asked
Mr. Johnson.
"I am the porter,'' replied tho
stranger, deliberately removing bis

The worst thing yoa can do for
the average young lawyer i3 to send
him to the Legislature. Tho county
paper is nsponsible for thi3. The
editor refers to him as the silvrr-

must maintain his position. Until

candidate for the legislature came
up as a joke. He had no idea of
such a thing, but when he saw that
hundreds of men were willing to
give him a chance, he threw out his
arms, embraced the epportnuity and
became a candidate. By going to
the legislature he lost his practice,
but he smiled at this, for to him dis
tinction in a political way is worth
more than the remuneration of law.
He neglects the law book and studies

make him believe that he is a big
man. He does not think for him
self, but allows others to think for
him. The sluggish boy who was in

along. He could not be elected to

tried to make a speech once, but
stammered shamefully. The boys
called him a mutton head. They
declared that he would sever amount

buffalo trails led to the best crossings

The earliest native tribes of In

these trails, which, as civiiation ad
vanced, became the roadways. An
exception in one particular is to be
made as to the Apaches, who struck

A farmer's wife had a flock of
geese, the leader of which wa an
old gray and white gander called El
der. He was unusually large and
fierce, and every creature of the
farm stood in fear of him. The
geese were kept in a pasture back of
house, and the old gander allowed
no tresspassers on this territory. Mr.
Hunt, the farmer, at one time at
tempted to let three young steers
feed in the pasture, but he was forc
ed to take them out. the gander
flew at them with uch fury, beatiDg
them with his strong wings.
The entrance to the pasture where
the geese fed was a dilapidated old
gate. It was Mr. Hunt's custom to
feed the geese with meal-dongh ev
ery morning, just after the family
breakfast
The Elder learned to push this
gate open and come out himself, but
he never allowed any of hia flock to
follow him. He would march proud
ly up to the back door of the house
ami wait for Mrs. Hunt to appear
with the dough-disb. When she
came out he would seize her dress
and escort her to the pasture.
When she was not quite so prompt
as he thought she ought to be, he
would give three or four pecks on
the door with his bill to attract her
attention.
Mrs. Hunt at first, was amused at
this habit of the gander's, and was
quick to respond to his call. It
seemed as if the gander was pleased
also, at his success, for it was not
long before he would go to tho door
and rap three or four times a day.
If Mrs. Hunt did not want to
feed him, she would call out, "Go
way. Elder, go way," and the gn
der would usually waik back to the
pasture.
One forenoon the Elder had been
to the back door three times. Mr.
Hunt bad scolded him and he had
returned to the pasture. About 11
o'clock ihe thought she again heard
the old fellow at the door.
"Go way, you torment! go way

A moment later the heard the tape
again, and somewhat louder than
before.
