ME LIVING AND THE'DIEAD.
BY AIM. ABUT.
I stood within the cottage door
Ono sunny mom in ?day,
Its feeble inmate, old and poor,
In death's embraces lay;
And o'er the corpse a maiden fair
Inclined her fair young head,
Closely they held communion there—
:rho Living and the Dead
The Deed —how rigid wag that than,
!low fixed those glassy eyes!
The lirimf—the soft cheek was wan
With rich and roseate dyes •
Dark ringlets o'er her forty : white
wild luxuriance broke.
And from her eyes deep 'sure light
The soul within her spoke.
She dwelt in glittering halls of :Alec.
Yet these she valued not,
Loving to love the gay and great,
And asek the rugby cot :
And often had kneltand prayed
Beside that lowly bed,
And now in patient love she stayed,
Abiding with the dead.
There, with inquiring eyes she stood.
Those pale changed looks ta tree,
While her soft ebon tresses flow'd
O'er the cold lifeless face;
And earnestly I watched the scene,
Nor moved, ncr splk,--in dread
To beak the holy bond between
The living and the Dead
I Wept—in betviniiss I wept;
Not fur the °wage dame
Who there securely, calmly slept—
Her worn and feeble frame
Ite_pmsed in peace—l knew her mind
Had Christian faith possest,
And freely, gladly, 1 resigu'd
The weary to her rest.
But she, that gentle girl, might yet
Brook dire and hitter wrong,
Iler name aspersed, her pease beset
By slanders serpent tongue:
Alas I the world, to work our ill,
Forever lies in wait,
And they who shun its love, must still,
Be followed by its hate.
Or worse, far worse than wrongs or taunts,
Temptation's spell might win
Those footsteps to the treacherous haunts,
Of vanity and sin ;
The by another's dying bed,
Unwearied love had shown ;
Oh 1 might sho not hereafter need
Some friend to smooth bar owu ?
I started—strangers came around,
They viewed toy streaming eyeA,
And said that her I mourned had foetid
A refuge, in the skies:
And silently l left the place,
Nor reeked they that I shed
Tears fur the maid of noble race,
Who atoood beside the Dead.
MART MOORE.
A ITEMANTLOVE STORY.
All my life long I had known Mary Moore.
All my life 1 loved her.
Our mothers were old playmates and first
cousins. My first recolleutions arc of a boy.
in a red frock and morocco shoes, rocking a
cradle in which reposed a sunny haired, blue
eyed baby. not quite a year old. That boy
was myself—Harry Church; that blessed
baby was Mary Moore.
Later still. I see myself a the little
school house, drawing my little chair up to
the door that Mary might ride home. Ma
ny a beating had I on such occasions, for
other boys besides me liked her, and she, I
fear, was something of a flirt, even in her
pinafore. Ilow elegantly she came tripping
down the stops when I called her name.
How sweetly her blue eyes looked at me.
How gaily rang out her merry laugh. No
ono but Mary could ever bring her heart
ee soon to her lips. I followed that laugh
from my childhood till I grew an awkward,
blushing youth—l followed it through the
heated noun of manhood- and n .w. when
the frusta of ago are silvering my hair. and
many children climb upon my knee and call
nse " father," I find that the memories of
youth are strong, and that, even in my gre
Lairs, I am following the amide still.
When I was fifteenth, great Know of my
life came upon my heart. I was sent t.,
school, and was obliged to part with Mary.
We were oat to ace each other for tbree
long Jeers. This, to me was like a seatenee
of death, for Mary warlike life itself tome.
But hearts are tough things after all.
I left college in all flesh and vigor of my
nineteenth year. I was no longer awkward
and etubarraeed. I had grown into a tall.
slender stripling, with a iterijiood opinion
of nirelf, both in general and particular.
If I thought of Mary Moore it was to itu.
mine bow I could dazzle, and belittler her
with my good kooks and vendetta! mental
attainment% and sever thinking she might
&tole and bewilder an still more. I was a
mic(v.nrib, I know, but as youth and rod
looks have fled. I trust that I may be fwleiv
ed I say that self-conceit has loft me
also.
An advantageouit reprisal was wade me
at that time, and aocepting it, I gave up all
idea of a profession, and prepared to go to
India. In my harried visit home of two
days, I SAW nothing of Miss Moore. She
had gone to a boarding School at some dia.
trine°, and was not expected home until the
following May. I uttered out a sigh to the
memory of my little blue eyed playmate,
and thee call myself " a man" again.
In a year, I thought, as the vehicle
whirled sway trete our door, in a year, or
three years at the very most, I will return
and if' Mary is as pretty as she used to be,
why, then, perhaps I may marry her.
And that I settled the future of a young
lady whom I bad not aeon for four years I
never thought of the possibility of her ro
fusine use—never dreamt that she would
not oeedeseend to accept soy offer.
But now I know that, had Mary mot ma
then she would have despised use. Perhaps
in the scented and affected student she
might of found plenty of sport • brit ea Ow
loving me, I should have perhaps foetid my•
self "Mistaken • twilit was toy salvation, not
merely beeauso of my seeress, but because
my laborious industry had ottunteracted the
evil in my nature, and has made me a bet
tor man. When at the end of three years
I prepared to return, I said nothing of the
reformation of myself which I knew had
taken place.
They loved we as I was, I murmured to
myself. and they shall find out for themeelves
whether I am better worth loving than form
erly•
I packed up many a token from that land
of rutuimee mid gold, for the friends I hop
ed to meet ; the gift for Mary Moore, I se
lected with a beating heart ; it was a ring of'
rough viigin gold, with my name and her's
enirrmed inside—that seam all, and yet the
sight of the little toy strungcly thrilled as I
blanched it upon the tip of my finger.
To the eyes of others it was but a small.
plain circlet suggesting shot's, perhaps, by
its elegance, of the beautiful white band
that waste leiter it. But to me—how teach
was embodied there I A loving smile on a
beautiful tare—low words of welcome —a
future home and a sweet smiling face—all
these delights were hidden within that little
ringer gold.
Tall, bearded and rue-bronse, I knocked
at the door of my father's house. The
lights in the parlor window, and the hum of
conversation and cheerful laughter showed
me that company war assembled there. I
hoped that tinter Lissa would come to the
door, and I might greet my family when no
strange eye was looking earlessly
But no—a servant answered my sum
moos. They were to merry in the pallor to
heed the long absent one who asked tor ad
mittance. A bitter thought like this run
through my mini as I heard the sound from
the parlor and -aw the half suppressed
smile on die ...errant' lace.
-
I hesitated it moment before making my
self known or a,litig for any one of the
family, And while I 4tood silent a strange
apparation grew up before me; from be
hind the servant peered out a small golden
head, a tiny (ideate form followed and a
sweet childish face, with blue eyes, was lit
tle to mine—so like to those of ono who had
brightened my boyhwd, that I started with
a sudden feeling of pain.
" What is your name. my pretty ?" I
asked, while the wondering servant held the
door.
" Mary Moore-"
" And what else ?" I aakedquiaily.
She fitted up her handset) shade her eyes.
I bad Well that very attitude in mother,
in my boyhood, many and many a time—and
answered in &sweet, bird like vein.:
" Mary Moore Chester," liaped the child
My heart sank down like lead. Here was
an end to all the bright dreams and hopes
of my youth and manhood. Frank Chewer
my boyish rival. who had often tried io
vain, to usurp toy place beside the girl, had
succeeded at last and had won her away Crum
we. This was the child—bi a s child and
Mary's.
I sank, body and soul, beneath this blow,
and biding my face in my hands, I leaned
against the door, while my heart wept tears
of blood. The hula one gazed at use. griev
ed and amused, and put up her pretty lips
as if about to cry, while the perplosed ser
vant stepped to the parlor door, and called
my sister out to see who it was that eon
ducted himself so straugoly. I heard alight
pleasant vuico saying:—
"Did you wish to see toy father, sir?"
I looked up. There Ntooll a pretty, sweet•

had huridly retreated, when my name was

hidden by the heavy window curtains that
fzil to the door. •
When the first ralyterotta greeting was

relief to have wept upon her bosom, an Iliad

of my heart and the trawor of toy lip, and
answered quietly, as I looked iuto his full
handsome Aoe—
"You have changed too, Rank, lot I
think fur the better."
"Oh, yes—thank you for the compliment."
he answered with a herr* laugh. "My

added, lilting the infant in bia arm, and
Miring her crimsoned chtiek, "I tell you,
Harry, there is no such another in the,

much like her mother used to?"
"Very much," I titltered.
"Hallo I" cried Frank with a suddenness
which made me start violently, "I have for
gotten to introduce you to my wife; 1 be

your younger days—yes, Harry I" and he
slapped me on the hack. "For the sake of

He pushed Lizzie, laughing and blushing.

, 11:130 ,4t too dialling to Lear. came over me,
and I cried out before I thought. 'Not
Mary.''
It moott have betrayed my secret to every
one in the loom. But nothing was said,
i.ven Fiunk, in general so obtuse, was this
time silent. 1 kissed the fair cheek of the
young wife, and hurried to the silent figure
looking out of the window.
"Miry- Mary Moore," I said, in a low
tone, ''have you no welcome to give the wan
derer?"
She turned and laid her hand in wine,
and maid hurridly—
"l am glad to see you here, Harry."
Simple words, and yet how blessed they
made me. I would not have yielded her up
at that moment for an emperor's crown.—
For there was the happy home group and
the dear home fireside, here sweet Mary
Moore. The eyes I had dreamed of by day
and night, were falling beneath the ardent
gaze of mine, and the sweet faoe I had so
long prayed to itee was there beside me. I
never knew the meaning of happiness until
that moment,
Many year. , have paned since that happy
night, and the hair that war dark and glosay

" Ah, Jacob, now you see bow all your
hopes are gone. Here you are, all our
°backer' removed from us by the hand of
death, and ere long we must bo isolates of
the poor house. Where, now, is all the
bread that. you havo cast upon the water?"
The old, wbito•baired man looked up at
his wife. Ile rim indeed dent own with
yearn, and age sat upon him trembling.
Jnoob Manfred had been a comparatively
wealthy men, and while fortune had smiled
upon hint, ho had ever been among the first
to lend a listening ear and helping hand to
the newts of distress; but now misfortune
was him. Of his four boys, not ono was left.
Mioktiews and failing health found him
with but little, and they lett him penniless.
An oppretative embargo on rho whipping
husintss hod been the first weight upon his
head, end other minfortuttes came In pain
ful ouroession. Jacob and his wilt were all
alone, and gunnt poverty looked them coldly
in the fsco.
"I)on't repine, Susan." said the old man.
"True, we are poor, but we are not for
salvo."
" Not forsaken, Jacob? Who is there to
help us now?"
Jacob 'Manfred mined his trembling finger
toward., heaven.
" Ah, Jacob, I know God is onr friend,
but we ought to have friends hero, Look
back, and zero how want you have befriend
ed in days long past. Yen east your bread
upon the waters, with it free hand, bits it
has not been returned to you?"
" Hush, Swan, you forgot what you say.
To be cure. I may have hoped that some
kind hand of earth would lift me from utter
want; but I do not expect it as a reward for
anything I have done. If I have helped
the unfortunate, T have had my full reward
in knowing that I have done my duty to my
fellows. Oh ! all the kind deeds I have
done to my 'suffering fellows, I would not
for gold have them blotted front my memory.
Alt, my fond wife, 'tic the memory of good
done in life that makes old ago happy.—
Even now I hear the warm thanks of those
whom I have befriended and again I can
see their smiles."
" Y ed, Jacob," returned Jiis wife, in a
lower tone. "I know you have been good,
and in your memory you can be happy ; hut,
alas ! there is the present upon which we
must look ; there is a reality upon which
we must dwell. We must beg for food or

The old man started, and a deep mark of
pain was drawn acrom his featurei.
"Beg!" he replied, with a quick shudder.
"No, Susan, we are—.
He hesitated, and a big tear rolled down
his furrowed cheek.
" We are shi., Joc,.b?"
" We are going to the poor house 1"
"Oh, tiod I I thoughoto !" fell flvm the
poor wile's lips, as rlido6overed her face
with her hands. "1 have thought so, and
I have tried to school myself to the thought,
but my poor heart will not bear it."
" Don't give up, Surto," softly urged the
old man, laying his hand upon her arm.
"It makes but little difference to us now.
We ha-e not long to remain on earth, and
let us not wear out our last days in fruitless
repinings. Come, Come."
Rut when shall we go?"
"Now—to day."
"Then God will have mercy npon us."
•• He will."
The old couple at for awhile in silence.
When they were amused from their pain
ful thoughts it was by the stopping of a
wagon et their door. A man entered the
room where they sat.. He was the keeper
of the poor house.
"Come, Mr. Manfred," said he. "the
Selectmen have managed to crowd you into
the poor house. The wagon is at the door,
and you must get ready as soon as possible."
Jacob Manfred had not calculated the
strength ho should need for this ordeal.
There wns a coldness in the very tone and
manner of the man who had come for him,
that went like an ice-bolt to his heart, and
with a deep groan he sank into his seat.
"Come, be in a burry," impatiently urg
ed the keeper.
At ant moment a heavy covered carryall
drone up to the door.
‘. Is this the hutize of Mr. Jacob Man

Thc question was asked by a man who en
tered from the carryall. He was a b a d
looking man, ■bout forty years of age.
"That is wy name," said Jacob.
" Then they told um truly," uttered the
new comer.
" Are you the keeper of thealuisboase?"
he continued, turning towards the taw.
',yes,'
Are you' after these people !"
" Yet"
" Then you may return. Jatsil) Manfred
goes to no poor house while! am living."
The speaker Rased inquisitively into the
festnres of the men, and then left the house.
" Dont you mumbler me ?" exclaimed
the new comer, taking the old man by the
Itu nd.
"I cannot oall you to my memory now."
'' Do you remember Lucius Williams? '
"William,?" repeated Jacob, starting
up, and ming earnestly into the etranger'e
few.

son had killed hig child and committed sui

By later advises it appears that Professor
Anderson is not the " dead duck" that the
telegraph made him out to be. The mes
sage was only a ruse to decoy the happy
"birds" into the hands of the "fowler,"
and it did. The guilty " twain" took the
back track, and at Middletown, Ohio, be
bold the unfortunate husband who (by re
port) murdered his little child and blown
()obis own brains, appeared before the as.
tonished couple, and took a seat in the om

better imagined than described.
Suffice that the Professor with an eye to
the "finances" of the lately dissolved " firm'
directed the professor's would-be successor ,
to fork over what stamps he might have be
longing to the late Mr. A.; whereupon, as
report hath it, ho shelled out some $3,500.
The Prohmsor seems to have been satisfied
with the blood already shed, as he did not
proceed to blow out the brains of the man
who had ran away with his wife. The un
fortunate woman passed through this city
going East on her way home, it is hoped a
wiser and better woman. As for the Pro
fessor he has performed a little piece of
elight-ofttand which oclipsod anything laid
down in this " posure."
John Norris, or "Johny" as be is called
by his chums, is from Williamsport, Pa.
He had been traveling with Anderson ever
since he last perfumed in this city. The
engagement was made here, and Johny re
signed a position on the Philadelphia and
Erie railroad to incept a place with the
magician. His family owns a fine property
opposite the Herdic House,
and are among the most respectable people
of that town. But Johny is rather inclined
to fast life, and managed to persuade Mrs.
Anderson and $3,500 more of' her husband's
personal property to abandon the fortunes
of the handsome &bowman.
Mrs. Anderson is quite wood-looking, and
young. She appeared greatly delooted when
the news reached her of the death of her
husband and child, and as she returned on
her way East, she was a forlorn objeet-

brought down in front on each side of his
singularly formed chest, which is not round

The hair on the body of this singular being
is very stiff, and grows to the rear, parting

on his spine, which extends back about ono
root like the spinal fin of a fish, or the

same peculiarity is observable on his legs.
No white person has ever seen him Datil re
cently, when he was discovered by a hunting
party. Several gentlemen—acquainterencea
of ours—met on last Shurday week with a
view of bear bunting in this swamp. They
were accompanied by about fifteen well
traided bear dogs. They prepared for the
hunt early in the morning, and when about
commencing their attention was attracted
to as unusually large human track in the
inft soil ;upon examination it was discovered
that the track was constantly being revers
ed. In an instant the stories of the negroes
occurred to the party, and at once it was
determined to pursue the, (gesture which
had made this track. The dogs were in
stantly called and encouraged to follow the
track, which they did promptly. The gen
tlemen, mounted upon good horses, found
but little difficulty in keeping well up with
the hounds. In a few rninntee en object
was presented to their view which sent a
chill to the heart of every member of the
party. They bad unearthed the nondescript.
A being—apparently human—suddenly rose
from his lair, turned and for a moment stood
in silent inspection of his pursuers, and then
instantly, with a yell truly terrific, wheeled
and with the speed of the lastest horse
rushed away before the dogs. This wild
and exciting chase was continued for a dis
tance of nearly ten miles, when at last the
terrible monster, foaming with rage, was
brought to Lay upon the bank of the Big
Black, and turning with a fury unparalleled,
it seized the formest dog with both hands,
and by the exercise of superhuman tumu
lt,: strength, buried its long talons in the
body of the howling brute and literally tore
the dog asunder. Dropping this, it instant
ly seized the next and sent its two immense
tusks through the skull of the doomed dog.
Ono of the hunters became alarmed for the
safety of the party, drew his revolver and
fired twice at the monster, but evideutly
without effect other than to frighten it by
the report, when, turning, whh a 'Along
yell, it plunged into the river, diving and
remaining under water fully five minutes,
when it would suddenly spring high into the
air, screaming with the voice of a regiment
of soldiers It finally Wain to the opposite
side and disappeared in the neighboring
forest, since which time it has only been
seen twice by white persons. Several at
tempts have been made to capture it, but
up to the present time without mous.--
Whet this strange creature is, no ono can
conjecture. The gentlemen with whom we
have conversed represent it as a black man
about six feet high, but in other respects
resembling, to a great decree, the description
given by the negroes. It has broken the ne
