MONTROSE, PA., MAY 16.1877.
HE NEVER TOLD .. A LIE.
I saw him standing in the crowd-- -
.A,comely youth and fair t ,
There:was a brightness in his eye, •
A. glory in his hair !
1 saw his comrades gaze-nn him— '
- His comrades standing by.
I heard them whisper each to each :
e never told a lie I"
I llced in Wonder on that boy,
he stood there so young ;
TOihink that neyer an untruth
as uttered by .his tongue.
I thought of all the boys rd known—
. Myself , among the fry , —
And knew of none that one could say ;
"He never told a lie I"
I gazed upon the youth with awe
That did enchain me long •
, ..
1 bad not seen a boy before
So-perfect and so strong. ,
And with a something of regret
I wished•that he was I, •
fi , cs they might look at the and say
• "Be never told ale I" - .
I thought of questions very hard _
For boyß to answer right :
"How did you tear those pantaloons ?"
. "My son I what caused the fight?"
"Who left the gate ajar last. night 2"
"Who bit the pumpkin pie 2"
What boy could answer all of these,
• ' . And never tell a lie ? .
I proudly took him . by the hand—
. My words with praise were rife ;
I blessed that boy who never told .
A falsehood in his life ; -
I told him I was proud of him—
:.A fellow standing by
Informed me that that boy was dumb
Who never told a lid !

'THE FIRST CLOUD..
BY GEORGE MANVILLE • FENN.
"TT was to meet such difficulties as
.1 this that tontines—" "Bother!"
I wrote the first sitting at my. . desk.
and said the last aloud, impatiently--
well, there, angrily—for Mattie had
bounced into the room, run to the back
of my chair, and clapped her hands over
my eyes, excliiming:
"0, Dick, what shame ! And you
promised to come np and dress !"
"I do wish you would not be so child
ish !" I cried, snatching away her hands.
"There's a blot you've made on my mann
sqript." •
"Don't be so cross, sir!" she said,
laughing, as she gave a waltz round the
room, making her pretty silk dress whisk
over one of the light chairs, which she
merrily picked up, and then, coming to
my writing table, she took a rose out of
a basket of flowers, and began to arrange
it in 'her hair:
"I'm not cross," I said, coldly, abut
engaged in a serious work of a- mercan
tile and momentary nature. You‘seem
to think men ought always-- to be butter
•
flies."
"No, I don't, 'Dick, dear," she cried.
"There, will that do ?"
She held her head on' one side for me
to see the creamy rose nestling ih her
crisp dark hair; but, after a glancol) at it,
I let my eyes fall upon my desk, and went
on writing my pamphlet. I' saw That she
:was looking wistfully at me,, but I paid
no heed, and then she came and rested
her hands upon 'my shoulders.'
"Are you cross with me, Dick?" she
said, softly.
• "Cross ? nor I jerked out; impatient
ly. "Only 1 thought I had married a
woman, and she has turned out to be a
child."
There was silence - then for a few min
utes, only broken by the scratching of
my pen. The little hands twitched a
little as they lay upon my shonlder, and
I very nearly., wrote down instead of
' "The calculations arrived , at by the pro
jectors of
.tontines"—"Richard Marlow,
how can you be such a disagreeable
wretch r Alt, of coarse, I did not
write it-4ouly thought—and then I felt
wonderfully disposed to turn . round,
snatch - the little graceful Pgure to my
breast, and kiss away the tears that I
knew were gathering in tier eyes.
Somehow, or another, though, did.
not do it---only went on glumly. writing .
for I was cross, worried • and annoyed. I.
had set myself a task that necessitated
constant application, and I was not get
. ting asl. could .wish ; so, like 'many
more weak•minded individuals .of the
male sex, instead o! asking for the com
fort-and advice of my . wife, I visited,my
disappointment upon the first week ob
ject at hand, and that object was the lady
in question. •
•
"l `.,Dick, dear,
don't be angry
.1(41:t .1 can't help feeling very-young
atiia.trliali, though I am your wife.
do try, 01 so hard, to be wopanly; but
,Dick,' dear, -I'm only eighteen and a half."
"Thirteen and a half, I , should asp;"
saided,Vornfully, just as if some,- spur
spirit were. urging•me on 'to say biting,
iaarcastio things P that I knew .would pain,
the poor girl, but, for the' life of me, I
could not help it. • •
There was no answer—only a little
sig.l—und, the hands, were withdrawn.,
I went on writing—rubbish that I knew
I should have to cancel.
yoti not better get ready, Dick ?"
said Matte, softly. "You said you would
come, When I went up stairs, and the
• Wilsons won't like it if we are late."
`'Hang the Wilsons l" I growled.
There Was another. pause; filled up by ,
the.scratch, Scratdb, of one of the noisiest
pensi ever used; and another little"sigh.
Mattie was standing Close behind me,
but I did not , .look at last she
glided.gently JO chairand eat do.wni.
, •'-"Wbat ItreYou • going `to-'do ?” r said,
ronghly:' ' F.
. .
"Only to wait for you, Dick, dear," she
replied. .
"You need , not wait.\ Go on. I shan't
come. Say. I've.. a headache—say any
thing." • -
"Dick, are you::: unwell ?" she said
tenderly, as' she came. behind me once
more, and rested her , little hands on - my
shoulder.
•'Yes—no. Pray, don't bOtber ! Go
•
on. . Perhaps I'll come 'and fetch you:
.There was another pause.
"Dick, dear. I'd rather not go without
you," she said, meekly, at: last.
"And I'd. rather you did go without
ine," I said, angrily; ."The 'Wilsons are
our best friends, and I won't haye them
slighted."
"Then why not come, ,Dick, dear?""
said the . little woman, and I could see
that she was struggling bravely to keep
down the tears.. . „
"Because I've no.. time. 'for such friv
olity.. There, you've wasted enough of
,my t time already, so go." .
Scratch, scratch, scratch, *eat that ex
asperating' pen, as I went on writing
More stuff to cancel, and yet too weak
and angry to leave off like a sensible
man,' rip up and change my things, and
accompanY my little wife_ to the pleasant
social gathering a few .doors lower down
our road. •
She had been 'looking forward to the
visit as a treat. So had T . till that gloomy
fit came over me; but as I had taken the
steps already made, I felt that I could not
retreat without looking foolish ; so I
acted with that .umu) wisdom displayed by
man under such circumstances, and made
matters worse. 4
"Did you hear me say that I wished
you to go alone ?" I said angrily.,
"Yea, yes, Dick, dear, I'll go, if you
wish," Mattie laid, very meekly; "but,
indeed, I'd far rather stay at home."
"You are desired to go; you have a
rose. in your hair," I said, satirically : -0,
what poor satire, when it was put there
to please me --"and they expect yon ;
so now go—And enjoy-yourself;" I added
by way of a sting to my sensible speech.
"I can't enjoy myself,. Dick," she said,
gently, "unless you come two. Let me
stay. ),
AEI desire you to go !" I exclaimed;
banging my fist do - wn on the desk. •
She looked at me with ' the great tears
standing in her pitious eyes, and then,
coming nearer r she bent over me and kiss
ed my forehead. • .
"Will you come' and fetch *me, Dick ?"
she said, softly.
"Yea—no—perhaps- 7 4 don't ktow,"
I said, roughly, as I repelled her caress•
es; and then, looking wistfully 'at me,
she went slowly to the door, glided out,
and was gone.
That broke the spell, and I started
from my seat, but more angry than ever.
was wroth with her now for obeying
me so meekly, and I gently opened; the
door, to hear her call the maid and tell
her to accompany her as far as the
Wil
eons.
Then I heard thein go—heard- the girl
return, the door close, and I was alone.
Alone ? Well, -not exactly'; for, so to
speak, I was having an interview with my
angry self,.as I felt that I *as, asking
bow .1 could let a feeling of * as,
act upon my better • nature, and make
me behave.as I did , to the Sweet little
girlish being who, during the six Months
we had been married, had never looked
at me but with the eyes of love.
"Change your things and go after her, "
something seemed to say ; but I repelld
it, threw my writing aside, kicked off my
booti, snatched my slippers out of the'
sideboard, thrust the easy-chair in front
of the cosy fire, threw myself into it,
and then with my feet in the fender, and
my hands in my pockets, I sat morose,
bitter, - and uncomfortable, gazing at the
glowing embers. . -
",3he had no business to go P. I. ex
claimed.- "She knew was Up all last
night, writing that abominable book,
and was oat of sorts, and aught to have
stayed." .
Then I reviewed' the past half hour,
an d.grew ca:mer as I leaned back, know
ing as I did, 'and well, that I had forced
her to go, poor child, and how miserable
she would be.
"She'll forget it amongst . all those peo
ple," 1 said, bitterly; but I did notbe
lieve.it, and at last I sat there calling
myself ass, idiot; blind, madman,-to plant,
as I had, the first seeds of what might
grow into a very upaa-tree of dissension,
and blight the whole of , our married
life. •
"Poor little'darling!" ;I said, , at last;
wait up 1111 she oornes home,' and
ten tell her'how sorry I am for my fol
ly, and ask.her forganneas."
"But, ae a man, can I do that?" I
said. "Will it not be weak?"
"Never 'mind," .1 exclaimed, "I'll do
if. Surely, there can be no biaver thing
to do than own one's self in the wrong.
Life's too short to 'blur -it with petty
quarrel& And suppose she were taken
ill t(Alight--my darling, whom I love
with all my heart ? Or, suppose she
went too near, the fire, and her dresa
caught alight? There*, how absurd!
Thank goodness, she is in -silk, and not
in one of those fly-away niuslins I"
I sat on, musing and musing ' till
Only there was a buzz outinde the house,
and theri the rush of feet. I fancied I
heard, the word- "Fire!" repeated again
and.again, and;' turning , to the window,
there was a glow' which lighted up, the
whole place; ,
I dashed 'down stairs, and out the
door, to fnd. - `the e road thronged, for a
house a little lower down was in - flames,
and, to my horror, I had : not taken a
dozen stepsladfore I lound that it was at
out:friends, theWiloon4
• There was no engine, but a crowd of
excited. people, talking eagerly ; and just
thin the fire-escape came trundling aTong
the road. - - - ,-.*
It was quite lime, for thee house as I
reached it was,- blazing furiously, the
flames darted Out in long ftrey tongues
front half the upper windows, while at
several there were people crying piteously
for help.
.1 fought my way through the crowd,
and tried 'to run up to . the house, but
half a dozen . officious people . hell me
back; while the men with the ftre-escape
tried to rear it against, the house ; but it
would not reach because of the garden
in front, so they had to get the wheels
of the escape over the iron-railings,: and
this caused great delay.- -
"Let me go I" I panted, to. those who
held me. "Let me gol Some - one---
some one in the house.",
"You can't do any good, sir,"fsaid a
policeman, roughly. "The escape
.men
will, do all' they can."
But I struggled frantiCally, and got
loose, feeling all the while a horrible,
despairing sensation, as I . knew that my
poor darling was one of the shrieking
suppliants for help at the upper Windows.
and that but for my folly I might haie
saved her. ._
As I freed myself from those whO held
me, and run to the escape, it was to find
that the man who had ascended it had
just been beaten back by the flames.
"It's no good," he said ; " we must try
the back.",
He was about to drag the machine
away, when I heard my name called.
"Dick ! Dick I" - in pitious tones; and
as I was once more seized, I shook my
self free, rushed up the ladder. ivith the
flames scorching and burning my face,
and, panting and breathless. I reached a
window where Mattie stood stretching
out her hands.
I got astride of 'the. sill, the flames be
ing wafted away 'ironi me, and threw my
arms around her ;• but as I did so,
the
ladder gave way, 'burned through b y the
flames that gushed furiously 'from the
lower window, and I felt that I must
either jump, or - try arid descend by the
staircase..
There was no time for thinking . ; so I
clime& in, lifted Mattie in my arms, feel
her dress crumble, in my hands as I
touched her, and the horrible odor of
burnt hair , rose - in my - nostrils, as I saw
her wild and blackened face, turned to
mine.
"Dick !, Dick !" she gasped, "save me !"
and then she fainted. ,
Fortunately, I was as much at home in
the house as in ably own, and making for
the staircase through the flame and smoke,
I reached it in safety ; hut below me, was
what seemed to be a fiercely blazing fur
nace. •
I recoiled for a' moment, but it was my
only hope, and I recalled that the lower
floor was yet untouched by the fire. it
was the one beneath me that was blazing
so furiously,.
So, getting a good tight grip of my
treasure, f : rushed 'down the burning
stairs, feeling them crackle and give way
as 1. bounded from one to the other.
It was a fiery ordeal; but in alew sec
onds I was below the flames, and reached
the hall, where, panting and suffocating,
I,strug,9;led to the door, reached it, and
fell. .
If I could btit open it, I knew we were
saved. -But I was exhausted, and the hot
air caught , me by the throat and • seemed
to strangle me. I raised my hand to the
lock; but it fell back. I beat feebly at
the door, but there was only the roar of
flames to answer me ; and as I made one
more supreme effort, panting and strug
gling to reach the fastening, I was as it
were dragged back by the weight of the
burden I still clasped to my breast.
It was more than human endurance
could bear, and I felt that the end was
near ; and to make my sufferings more
poignant, Mattie seemed to revive,.strog
gle with me for her life, 88 she kept re
peating tny name, and clung to me till—
" Dick—dear lick! wake ;. pray wake!
are you ill ?"
I started up to find lalattie clinging to
pie ; and clasping ber • tightly to my
heart, a great sob burst from my, breast
as I kissed her again and 'again, hardly
able to believe my senses.'
"0; Dick," she panted, "you did
frighten me so ! I couldn't Stay to sup
per at the Wilsons, dear : ; for I could, do
nothing but think about your sitting
here, atone, and cross, wtth me. So—so
-so, It was so miserable, Dick, and" I
slipped away, and came home, to find you
,lying back here, panting and struggling;
you would'n't wake when I shook you.
Were you ill.
"0, no; tot at all," I said, as I kissed
her again and again, feeling now .for the
first time sensible of -a smarting pain in
one foot. • - '
"You've biirnt yourself, too, Dick ; look
at your foot.' t -
It was quite true; the toe of one slip

fire; and it watt burned completely off;

very very angry with your little wife for
being such a girl ?" , •
I could not answer, gaily thank 6(4
that nip week fit of _folly was past; as f
clasped her closer and closer yet. ,
"Hattie," I whispered, at last, in a very
husky voice, "can you forgive me for be
ing so weak?"
I.could say no more for the - hin . drande
of two soft lips placed upon mine; and
while they rested. there, - , I, made ,a vow, I
hope I shall have ,strength to keep.; for
