NIGHT IN THE COUNTRY.
Oh, bird that lingers in the hua"l.
Of twilight as it ta'.letb,
Return ye now unto your nest ;
List bow your iwect mate calleth !
Oh, lowing cows, haste to yoar fold, .
Oryou will be belsted
Ee'n now the milkmaid loudly calls,
Too long for you she's waited !
Frm yonder church the ciimiDg belli
Ring fur the Angelua sweet,
And pious sou's, with bended heada.
The evening prayer repeat.
The locusts with discordant notes
A merry concert hold,
As though the coming on of night
Made their small hearts more bold.
The jasmine vine that shades the porch.
Breaks out ia sweetest scent,
And waftings from the lily bed
Are with its odors blent !
The low of kine and notes of birds
Grow fainter and more faint.
Even the tireless katydids
Have hushed their loud complaint.
The glimmering lights begin to shine
From many window pane.
And mothers rock their babes and sing
A sweet good night refrain.
To all there comes a country peace.
The quiet of a night
That ia removed from out the world.
Far from the city's sight !

HALF A CENTURY AGO.
BT DAKL BRICEETT.
My sister Belle and I, Nell, have seated
ourselves at grandmother's feet to hear
the story of her courtship, a half century
ago. Grandma says :
Yes, just fifty years ago to-day. It
doesn't seem possible. Ah, the joung
men then were different then to what
they are at the present time. Nowadays
you see them all dressed in black or in
brown ; then they wore gay, dtinty
clothes ; bright-colored coats, with gold
buttons ; knee breeches and fine silk
stockings, and jeweled buckles.
" Well do I remember when I first saw
David. He was a comely lad ; and I,
the daughter of his father's lodge-keeper,
would as soon have pined for the moon
as ever looked to be his wife. A I said,
was only the daughter of his father's
lodge-keeper. For years my hard-work
ing father and my thrifty mother had
ived in the little cottage by the park
ates. I used to stand in the door and
watch the 'Squire and his lady, and Da-
ie, mounted on their spirited horses,
canter through! the gates, and I would
look after them as far as I could see op
the long, elm avenue with my whole;heart
in my eyes ; for to me Davie was ever
something grander and nobler than any
one else beside.
" I was just seventeen ; a tiny slip of a
thing, with a fair, pale face, and big,
brown eyes.
" That was years and years ago. I was
pretty then."
Belle and I look np into the speaker's
face ; f.iir and pure as ever, with its on
dimmed brown eyes, and carlinz white
locks ; and we think that if pretty then,
she is beautiful now. But we do not tell
her so, for fear of breaking the thread of
her thoughts.
I was such a little, delicate thing that
my good mother did not look for me to
help her around the house, but sent me
to a neighboring village to school. I lov
ed to study, and when, at seventeen, I
came home for good I was well eduiited,
as the times went.
" Then it was I first became acquaint
ed with the "Squire's son. lie often osed
to stop as he rode by the lodge, and
stooping from his horse, leave a pretty
nosegay, or, maybe, an interesting book
in my hand.
" It was not the gift that sent the blood
bounding from my hea-it to my cheeks ;
but the look which his frank eyes shot
into mine. The old 'Squire, too, would
pat me npon the head, while his wife
would often s.-k me np to the manor
house, and pet and treat me as an honor
ed guest.
The? was one daughter in the fami
ly. Estelle was her name ; but she only
came home in vacation and noiidays.
Then I seldom went up to the manor, for
I soon grew to see that her red lips never
lost their supercilious carve while I was
near. At last mere came a day never to
be forgotten. By the brook which bab
bled back of my cottage home, Davie, the
hero before whom my heart had always
bowed down and whispered in secret,
drew me to him, and whispered that he
loved me. In those days, girls, love was
too sacred a thing to speak of aloud so all
could hear. Engagements werw kept
' from ail but one's own kindred, and the
world outside was none the wiser."
My sister Belle's brown head lowered
itself a little as she casta quick glance,
first at me, and then at the large solitaire
which only a little time ago " some one
had put npon her finger.
" cut, men, time manges, ana cus
toms, too, though I think that the good
old times were the best. That was a happy
time, and when Davie's mother held me
to her with a tender pressure and assured
me that her son's wife should be loved
as a daughter, my cup of happiness was
running over. They say the course of
true love never runs smoothly, and soon
those sweet days were rudely broken in
npon. Within a month the 'Squire was
thrown from his horse at a hunt ; and, as
a solemn, awe-struck group carried him
slowly np the elm avenue, the red coats
of toe gentlemen were not more vivid
than the red blood which welled from
the mortal wounds the cruel, crashing
hoofs had made. There was weeping
and wailing at the great house. The ag
onized shrieks of the bereaved wife will
linger in my memory until my djing
day. When night came, in the darken
ed state chamber lay two silent forms,
beautiful through all their lives, in death
they were not divided.'
" It was all over ; in the stately tomb,
where rested in solemn quiet the ances
tors of their proud rare, they laid the
honored and beloved dead.
" F-stelle did not go back to school, and
ns the months went by and she laid
aside her deep, crape symbols of her
mourning, I saw my lover less than nsu
al. Not that I thought anything of it at
first ; for I knew that as master of the
house, it was necessary that ha should
help entertain his sister's guests. Es
telles spirits needed keeping op, and she
filled the house with her fashionable
friends. Beautiful girls trailed their, vel
vets and satins over the green lawn

playing ' graces ' and battledoor ' and
shuttlecock,' while handsome youths
hung upon their slightest glance.
" When Davie came to me I could see
that be was changed, and when I would
lay my hand apon his clouded brow and
ask what was the matter, he would
evade my questions. I remembered it
afterwards, and misconstrued his evi
dent gloom.
" Now I know that it pained his loving,
grieving heart to hear the laughter and
jesting there in the place from whence
only so lately one short yeir before
his dear father and mother had been car
ried to their last long sleep. I never
went to the manor. Estelle ignored my
existence, and of course I could not go
where she was mistress.
"So the days went by. Sometimes for
quite an interval I would not see Davie,
and when I did, that cloud wan always
uyon his brow.
" But I was young and light-hearted,
and I trusted to time and to my love,
ta bring back the old gladne to his
face.
" One evening I stood in the cottage
porch. The honeysuckle leaned its scent
ed pennons caressingly against my cheek.
Reaching np, I plucked a long, trailing
spray to wind among my curls, when
suddenly a woman's figure, enveloped
from hoad to foot in a dark cloak, step
ped to my side.
"It was Estelle Bradley, my lover's
sister.
" Something in her eye checked the
polite sentence my lips were forming.
Laying her cold hand on mine, she drew
me down into the garden. There in the
luminous moonlight she stood, her tall
form towering up above my slight one,
and her eyes, still with that strange, sin
ister expression in them, fixed full upon

" Then she spoke :
" ' Margary Lee, have you not noticed
gloom upon my brother's face for some.
time? Can you not guess what causes it T
Then she went on in in cold, slow
tones :
' He is in great distress, and has asked
me to speak to you for him?'
With eyes slowly dilating, I looked up
at her. I felt that some blow was com
ing.
" He to choose her, who he knew bad
no love for me, to speak for him ! Then,
with cruel terseness, she went on, hur
riedly :
He is betrothed to you. Charmed
by your pretty face, he thought it was
love he felt not mere fancy ; but he has
found his mistake. Do yoa not under
stand ? He wishes me to ask from you
his freedom.
With a cry I sank on my knees,
there on the damp ground, and grasped
her dress convulsively in my trembling
fingers.
' Oh, for pity's sake ' tell me what yoa
have said is not true
With ft quick movement she drew
the fulds of her dress from my hold, and
gtxsi looking at me as I knelt before
her.
'Margary Lee, yoa are a woman
yoa have some pride, I hope, Do yoa
not understand me when I say he does not
Ion you .' Surely you would not marry
him without his love, merely to be lady
of the manor T
"Her words had the desired effect,
tung beyond expression, I sprang to my
feet.
Tell your brother he might have
been what I have alwavs considered him
geniUiwin, and come to me himself ;
but he shall be free. He need not feel
bound by his promise. I break the en
gagement.' " She spoke more softiy now :
"" Had you not better tell him your
self?'
With a passionate cry, I answered :
' Trllhim! Speak with him, after what
has passed !'
" ' No,' she said, ' you need not speak
to him write him write him a few lines
to-morrow.'
"Drawing her dark cloak tightly
about her, her errand done, she left me
alone in the dusk to battle with the ago
ny which seemed to tear my very heart-
fibres.
Had I not been so young and inno
cent I might have suspected that treach
ery was at work, and that Estells Brad
ley would never have come to me as she
had, save to further her own ends ; but I
believed every word she hid said, aud I
would gladly have let my young life ebb
out with the scalding tears which flowed
from my eyes.
The next day I sent a short, cold
note to David, breaking oar engagement.
I only told my parents enough to let
them see that their child's happiness had
been crushed out forever ; then my over
taxed bruin succumbed, and for weeks I
lay tossing in the delirium of fever npon
my bed. When I grew rational, I learn
ed that David had called to see m on
receiving my note, but with her maternal
pride aroused to fever heat in my behalf,
my mother had refused to speak with
him, or even to allow him entrance.
" My mother told me herself.
" ' He's gone now, Margery,' she sai 1
' and when yoa are better we will leave
this place. Your father will take us to
London. Now the old 'Sqnire and his
wife ore dead, there's nothing to keep us
here..
Where has Mr. Bradley gone,, moth
er ?' I asked, feeblv.
"'I do not know, Margery,' she said ;
neither do 1 care. Get well, child, and
do not think of his false face again.'
" But that was easy to say.
Wherever it was he had gone, he did
not return before we had left the home
in which I had been born.
" Three years rolled by.
" One morning the post-box brought
me ft letter ft large, tinted, crested en
velope.
" I broke the seal, nd found it was
from Estelle Bradley. Only a few strange
words, penned in ft tremulous hand.
' Margry,' she wrote, ' Nemesis has
overtaken me- I rm very sick ; come to
the manor and bear my dying words'
" ' Do not go, Margery,' said my moth
cr, ' Has the manor ever brought any
thing but sorrow to yoa ? Why should
yoa return ?
" But I did not feel that wav. Estelle
was dying. That proad, graceful figure
was stretched npon couch of pain. Not
for worlds would I bear malice to one
Herald
whose feet were trembling on the con
fines of another world. The manor car
riage met me at the station, and before
long I was whirled throogh the familiar
gates past the tiny, gothic cottage in
which my eyes first saw the light, and
up the elm avenue to the great atone
porch.
It scarcely seemed to me that I was
awake as I walked through the
tiled hall, and np the polished marble
stairs ; but I came back to reality again
with s shock as the servant opened a
door and I entered ths apartment where
Estelle awaited me. Involuntarily I
stepped back. Could that be the same
healthful, robust girl who had always
seemed to scorn tha very idea of sick-

was:
"She saw me, and motioned her at

"I started violently, then controlled
myself with ft strong effort, for I saw
that it agitated her to speak. She went
on :
" ' It was not true ! I told yoa ft false
hood. My brother loved you, and you
only ! But I wanted another for my sis
ter, and I determined within myself that
you should never reign as mistress in
the manor. I counted cn your unsuspi
cious innocence, and knew yoa would be

My brother went abroad with the con
viction that yea never loved him, and
broke your engagement with him so that
yoa might be free to unite yourself to an

hearted, sorrowing man. I, his sister,
deceived him to further my own desires.
" She stopped suddenly, and pressing a
handkerchief to her lips, took it away
covered with a red stain.
" ' Do not say any more '.' I exclaimed.
' I forgive yoa for what yoa have done.
If that is why yoa have sent for me, rest
assured that all shall be forgotten.'
" ' Not so,' she said. ' I wish to repair
the mischief I have done. Open the
door."
"I did so, wondering what she tceant,
and there stood David !
"He had heard our words, and I saw
by her face that she had been aware of
his presence. Entering, he caught me
to his heart.
"'My little Margery f was all he said.
Then leading me to the bedside, he laid
my hand in his sister's, saying solemnly :
'Estelle, it was through yoa we were
parted, and I know that it is your wish
that it i-hall be your hand that re-unites
as again.'
"Ah! how noble he looked! All the
days (in which, though thinking he was
false, I had yet hungered for s sight of
his face'i rolled away as Estelle's fingers
closed over mine, and she joined our
hands.
" 'Margery,' she said, 'are you sure yoa
forgive me for all the pain I have caused
yon to suffer T
' 'As I pray God to forgive my sins,' I
answered, solemnly.
'With those words a look, such as I
shall remember w hen I come to d ie, came
into her eyes, and like a tired child she
leaned her head back npon the piilow.
'Estelle did not li7e long after that.
I sent for my mother, and she was in
valuable in the sick room, with her
strong, tender-touch and motherly ways.
So surrounded with loving, pitying min
istry, the once, worldly girl now changed
and humbled by the chastising hand of
God, passed fioin this life to the one be

years ago to-day, when on his birthday
your grandfather led me as his bride to

till the tear had been chased away ; and

A Goat Spoils an Elopement.
Not long ao a young lady who desired
to get up with the lark, in order to go on
an eloping tour, adopted the schoolboy's
plan, and the lover wan to be on hand at
daybreak to give the signal.
The string used for the pedal commu
nication was s stout cord, and one end
was dropped out of the third story win
dow into the buck yard, and the other
end, of course, was attached to the dam
sel's great toe. The legend runs that ft
healthy goat of the William persuasion
arose early next morning and wandered
into the yard.
After eating up all the old sardine cans,
barrel staves and broken crockery, he
found the string, and took that in as desert-
As soon as the string was drawn
taut the goat stood npon his bind legs
and gave an impu'.sive jerk. The girl
awoke. The goat gave another su lden
pull, and the maiden jumped out of bed
with a smothered cry of pain. Then she
stooped down to detach the cord just as
the ridiculous beast gave another violent
jerk, and she nearly lost her equilibrium
and her tie, too, the cord cutting into
the tender flesh.
She sprang to the window and called
down in a hoarse whisper:
"Stop pulling, Harry; I'll be down in
a minute."
Then she made another effort to untie
the cord, but the persistent goat gave his
head several angry hobs, and each time
the girl uttered ft cry of pain. Again she
called into the darkness:
"Harry, if you don't stop jerking like
that I won't come down at a'L"
She was answered by another savage
pull, and the cry of anguish that escaped
her brought her mother into the room
with ft look of affright and a lighted
lamp. The young lady fainted, the
elopement was nipped in the bud, and
the disappointed maiden's toe was sore
for a month. The goat escaped. .S'V

Three or four of ns on the car were
talking about General Shermaa's death,
and, as might have been expected, one
of the group modestly admitted that be
was with the lamented general on his
fiotious murch to the sea. There was a
woman on the seat ahead, surrounded
by bundles and basket", and evidently
going somewhere on a virit. The war
talk soon stirred her up, and she turned
to the veteran and queried :
"Were yoa right in the battle?"
"Yes'ni."
"Dead men all arot:nd?"
"Yes'm."
"Wounded crying for water ? '
"Yes'm.'"
"Borabsher.s and cannon balls falling
around you like hail 7"
"Yes'm."
"And yoa didn't run?"
"No'm ; I should Lope not," he mod
estly replied.
"Stood right there and never got
scairt, eh?"
"Yes'm."
"Well, now, I don't believe it," she
bluntly exclaimed. "It hain't human
natur'. It hain't according to things."
"I hope you do not doubt my word,
madam?''
"Yen, I do," she sharply replied. "I
don't believe you've got any more nerve
than my Saui has, and Sam can't stand
the test."
"Then yon have a test ?"
"Yes, I have. You jest get off at
Scottdale, where I am going to stop.
There'll be a wheelbarrow somewhere
around there, and you jest stand off about
thirty feet and let me bear down on
you with it. If you don't jump, or
dode,re, or climb a telegraph pole I'll give
in that you'r the bravest inan I ever
saw."
"I I'm afraid I haven't time to stop
off." he stammered."
"I knew you wouldn't have," she dry
ly replied. "They never do. They talk
about bombshells and dead men and
slaughter pens, and they make out that
they charged up to the roaring cannon,
but the minute I talk wheelbarrow they
knuckle. You needu't say no more.
You've wilted."
And he hadn't another word to utter.
Reading Aloud.
Too little attention is paid now-a-days
to the superior advantages to be gained
from correct reading aloud. In the
schools this highly necessary branch of
education is too often considered so
simple aa not to require any attention,
and the practice of readitig aloud in the
home circle has gradually given way to
what are considered more elegant recre
ations, but the truth is, it is a far more
indispensable an accomplishment than
almost any other, for it is a known
method of averting conaua.ption, or en
tertaining one's friends, and of showing
the true quality of the mind. It is one
of those exercises which combine men
tal and muscular effort, and hence has a
double advantage. To read aloud well
one should not enly understand the sub
ject, but should hear his own voice, and
feel within him that every syllable is
distinctly enunciated. Every public
speaker ought to know whether he is
distinctly heard hy the farthest auditor
in the room ; if he does not, it is because
he does not understand the proper use of
the voice. Reading aloud helps to de
velop the lungs just as singing does. The
effect is to induce the drawing of long
breaths oftener and deeper than is done
in reading without enunciating. These
deep inhalations never fail to develop
the capacity of the lungs in direct pro
portion to their practice. Jennt.it Killer

Big Men with Little Wives.
There is very general and ancient
impression that big men in choosing
wives prefer smail women. At first
glance this would aptear to be true, be
cause the number of big men with little

years I have held my office I have learn

my impression that it is not that big men

Shrewdly Done.
Some time ago I was trading in a vil
lage store, says ft correspondent, when
one of the clerks came to to the junior
partner, who chanced to be waiting on
me, and said :
"Won't yoa please step to the desk a
moment? Pat Flynn wants to settle his
bill, and insists on having a receipt."
The merchint was evidently annoyed.
"Why, w hat does he want of ft receipt?"
he said ; we never give one. Simply
cross his account off the book ; that is
receipt enough."
"So I told him," answered the clerk,
"but he is not satisfied. Yoa had better
see him."
So the proprietor stepped to the desk,
and after greeting Pat with ft "good
morning," said, "Yoa wish to settle your
bill, do yoa?" to which Tat replied in
the affirmative.
"Well," said the merchant, "there is
no need of my giving yoa ft receipt. See !
I will cross your account off the book,"

Tactics Extraordinary.
Immediately after the ordinance of
secession had been passed, and it became
apparent that there would be ft war, the
attention of the southern youth was di

country, and the rivalry between them,
as well as the interest elicited from their
civilian friends nd admirers, was im
mense. There was one very fine com

Every afternoon a throng of people
would resort to the large vacant lot

Of.
The doctor had been called to see a
German who hadn't been able to retain
anything on his stomach. In the ex
amining interview he was telling of how

"Oh, how I do vish I cud tole vot
