The Tillage Stork.
BAYARD TATLOB's LAST POK5C.
The old Hercynian forest sent
His weather on the plain; 3
Wshlwinkel's orohards writhed and bent j
In whirls of wind and rain.
Within her nest, upon the roof ,
Fr generations tempest-proof,
Wahlwinkers stork with her young ones lay,
When the hand of the hurricane tore away
The house and the home that held them.
The storm passed by; he happy trees
Stood up and kissed the sun;
And from the birds hew hjelodien A V.

With dripping plumes and head depressed,
For the thought of the spoiled ancestral nest,

From out the linden tree,
" Who knows from what a line she sprang,
. Beyond the unknown sea?"

But still the stork paced to and fro,
As utterly forlorn.
Then suddenly, in turn of eye,
She saw a poet passing by,
And the thought in his brain was in arrow of
fire,
That pierced her with passion and pride and
ire -And
gave her a voice to answer.
She railed her head and shook her wings,
And faced the piping crowd.
'Biet Bervice," said she, " never sings;
True honor is not loud.
My kindred cirol not, nor boast;
Yet we are loved and welcomed most,
And our ancient race is dearest and firBt,
And the hand that hurts na held accursed

And with a summer sod,
The land I com from smiles and there
My brother was a god !
My nest upon a temple stands
And sees the shine of desert lands;
And the palm and the tamarisk cool my wings

And I drink from the holy river I

Yet dare I apt be lost.

To the blossoming olives of Grecian lan Is,
And rest o a the Cretan Ida !

The distant summits fade and fall,

The Alpine snows beneath me gleam,

But I hasten on until my spent wings faU
Where I bring a blessing to each and all.
And babes to the wives of Wahlwinkel !"
8 he drooped her head and spake no more;
The birds on either hand
Sng louder, lustier than before
They could not understand.
Thus mused the stork, with snap of beak :
" Better be silent than so speak I
Highest being can never be taught;
They have their voices, I my thought;
And they were never in Egypt !"

MAT'S LUCK.

"It is just my
V Confound it !"
He walked gloomily to the window
and looked out on the vivid green of
the croquet lawn, on white and red
rosea clustering about the porch; on the
old rector, tending his favorite gerani
ums in the distance, amid a blaze of
sunshine and glow of color. Mat longed
to be with him the somber room seem
ed as oppressive as a cage.
He threw open the French windows,
drew a long breath, and thrust his fin
gers into the pockets of his shooting-
coat, falling naturally into a careless,
lounging attitude, peculiar to him. The
fingers came in contact with a note, and
idly brought it to light. It was ad
dretsed in a woman's handwriting, to
"Matthew Curtis, Esq., M. D." A
grim smile played about that gentle
man's lips as he reflected how unsuited
was that formal superscription to the
iqvial, reckless good-for-naught, known
to rich and poor for miles around as
young Mat Curtis.
With a listless air he drew forth the
lrief inclosure. His face darkened bb
lie perused it.
Miss Agnes Bellue would be glad to
Lave a few minutes' conversation with
Mr. Curtis."
" Ltover-like very !" commented Mat,
with sarcastic emphasis.
Another glance at the delicate paper
and the firm square handwriting, the
dark look hardening the while, until the
( character of the face seemed completely
altered.
"Look at it 1" quoth Mat. "Her
hand never trembled; there is not a wa
vering stroke ! Why, most girls would
crv their eves out while writiner such a
- note as that to their lovers 1"
He crushed the offending missive into
a crumpled ball as he spoke, and ad
dressed a few Taaore expletives to the
fair sunshine expletives peculiarly
unbefitting a clergyman's study, or the
hearing of the young lady who noise
lessly entered in time indistinctly to
Catch them.
Young not more than twenty, per
hapsbut with a serene and queenly
grace of movement, a gravely beautiful
His
ruitence is dying away the dark, hard
expression is returning. "Just my
luck," it seems to repeat
" To beg an answer to two questions,"
continues Miss Bellue.
Mat bows, thrusts his hands into the
deep shooting-pockets once m$re, and
resumes the careless, lounging attitude.
Have you entered your name, not
withstanding my protest, as a gentleman-rider
for the autumn steeple
chases?" "
"Yes." .
"Is it, indeed, true, that last night
you involved yourself in a poaching af
fray, actually knocking down a keeper
and helping the poachers to escape ?"
" Yes," says Mat, with a kind of sul
len despair.
Miss Bellue draws something from
her white fingers, and holds it out.
Mechanically Mat's hand comes out of
the shooting-pocket and grasps it. It
is a woman's engagement ring.
They look at each other, a curious
contrast in the two faces. Hers com
posed, calm, haughtily indifferent His
blankly astonished, angry, agitated, by
r.urns.
"Not not that, Agnes," he pleads,
duskily.
The serene beauty, the quiet determi
nation of her face answer him.
" At least, let me explain. I can do
k to your satisfaction, I think, 1
hope I" he says, dubiously. " Return it
to your finger, and reserve judgment
ull you hear the defense !" And he holds
.he ring toward her, with a great clum-
ly hand that trembles somewhat
Still no audible reply. A faint shake
if the head, a look of polite incredulity
that is all .
" Do you not care ?" he asks.
His appealing eyes search her face.
It does not change. Beautiful, imper
mrbable, the sentence written there
aever varies. His unsteady fingers drop
the ring ; but he lets it lie, half buried
in a fleecy rng. Then, with a set, stern
look, he sets his foot npon it, bows
dightly, and walks from the room.
He leaves the house, passing the win
dow to gain the road, but looking neith
er to the right nor to the left
His head is erect, his hands are out of
the loose pockets. For once (startling
transformation), young Mat Curtis looks
positively dignified.
And as he vanishes as startling a
transformation takes place in the room
he has quitted. Miss Bellue proves '
herself a woman, and not a queen, by a
series of actions essentially feminine.
First, she rescues the bent love-token
from the floor ; then she kisses it ana
cries over it ; then sue iocks it away
carefully in a writing-desk; then she
rushes up stairs to watch her lover out
of sight from an upper window.
For a quarter of a mile or bo she
watched him, a retreating figure, grow
ing smaller and smaller in the distance.
He never once looked back; the regu
lar march of his steps never faltered ;
a turn of the road hid him from sight.
Miss Bellue sat down on the floor a
most undignified position and cried
till her pretty eyes were red and
swollen.
" It is all over !" Bhe moaned " all
over I"
tad. been babies, now, I might have
gained some credit at the same risk."
"The stable is a-fire, sur 1"
" What I" shouted Mat He did not
wait for the information to be repeated.
An ardent lover of horseflesh, it waa an
appeal to his sympathies that tent him
round intervening outbuildings in a state
of breathless suspense.
It was true. The stable waa on fixe;
the hotses were screaming with terror;
two or three rustics were making excited
and fruitless attempts to drag them out
attempt the poor animAlsitistd

three or four empty sacks and a rope.
Quick!"
"Yes, sur."
By drawing a sack over each animal's
head and neck, thus blindfolding it; by
passing a rope round the forelegs and
setting strong arms to haul, and by a
little organization of brave but until
then ill-applied efforts, a rescue was
effected. A11 the horses were saved ex
cept one poor brute smothered by the
smoke.
Farmer Joyce came np, with a grimy
hand extended in honest gratitude.
"Thank you kindly, sir. I don't
mind for the ricks and the buildings
they are insured; but it west to my
heart to hear them poor brutes scream.
Mat gave his left hand the right one
was bound up with a handkerchief. The
old rector joined them, Miss Bellue lean
ing on his arm.
"The danger is over now, Joyce, I
think. Mat, come across with me."
Mat glanced at the averted face of the
young lady, and misconstrued it Bhe
was, in truth, ashamed to meet his eye.
The contrast between his coolness and
courage and her physical cowardice
humbled her.
"I have burnt my hand and arm
slightly just my luck 1" said Mat 4 I
must go home at once to dress them."
He took off his hat as he spoke, awk
wardly enough, with the left hand, and
turned away.
"He is a fine fellow, Agues, tha
lover of yours," said the rector; "but
his manner is rather abrupt to-night
What ails him ?"
"Nevermind, papa cever mind."
There was a kind of wail in Miss Bel
lue's voice.
"A lovers quarrel," thought the
rector, sagely. Then my attitude
must ba one of dignified neutrality
my policy non-intervention;" and he
laughed quietly to himself at the conceit.
Mat was dressing his burns in the
surgery when the outer door opened and
his father entered.
" Halloo, father I Who called you up 1
It was- my turn to-night."
It should ba eiplaiaed that " young
Mat Curtis" and " the old doctor" wei e
partners.
"The old doctor" made no reply.
He sat down in a low chair, and began
to fan himself with a broad straw hat
Mat. looking up in surprise, saw that
he was ghastly pale; that his eyes had a
look of horror in them; that his whole
appearance was that of a man who had
sustained a terrible fright
Mat touched his arm gently.
"What is it, father?"
"Doctor Curtis lips moved twice be
fore any sound issued; then he uttered
but one word: " Cholera 1"
Upon Mat's face there came a faint
reflection of his father's fear. The
scourge had been raging with frightful
violence in distant parts of England.
They had talked of it often, dreading its
" My luck has changed." said Mat
with a smile. "I can be spared sow
the work is done." t
Miss Bellue heard the news the same
hour. A housemaid to whom she had
done some little kindness ran off to the
rectory to tell her. Miss Bellue gave
an order or two and went straight to her
father's study.
"Papa, Mat is stricken down
" Bless my soul I" said the rector, in
great excitement ,..- loor lad poor
"I have told Jenkins to put the
horses to the brougham and the house
keeper to get the green bed-room
ready."
"Eh?" and the old gentleman looked
very bewildered.
" And you must fetch Mat," explained
Miss Bellue, calmly.
"But but"
" He shall not be left to the nursing
of those ignorant servants," she insist
ed, resolutely. " He shsll be brought
here or I will assuredly go to him."
The rector had yielded to her all her
life. He shook his head in perplexity.
" Are you not afraid, dear?"
A peculiar smile lighted her pale,
beautiful countenance.
Not now."
A similar question was aim oat the
first one put by Mat in a convalescent
state!
" Were you not afraid, darling ?"
" Perfect love caateth out fear," she
rejoined, softly.

Profsaaors and students of the Colum

dragged the earauis of the baby ele

tral park into their courtyard. Then
they prepared to hoist it to ihstr dis

fitted up an incline plane, placed the
animal upon it and adjourned for the
morrow's work.
There gathered the next day about
the body Prof. Edward a SpiUka, Dr.

fixing the ropes and tackling, they

The Story of a Harder,
The case of Abe Rothschild, convicted
in Texas of murder in the first degree,
is interesting. The story, as told in the 1
evidence, begins with the arrival of
Bessie Moore in Cincinnati two years
ago. She was about twenty years old
and had considerable money, but her
most noteworthy property waa a large
number of diamonds, for which she had
a remarkable liking. She came to be
known as Diamond Bess. Abe Roths
child was a noted Western gambler. He
fell in love with Diamond Bess, or her
diamonds, or both, and proposed to
marry her. She several times pawned
some of her diamonds to get money for
him, but always managed to redeem
them. The pair were married about a
year ago, in Chicago. They went to
Texas on s honeymoon trip, she carry
ing the diamonds carefully in her pock
et. They arrived at the Brooks house,
Marshall, on Jan. 17, and stayed two
days. Quarreling in their room wao
overheard, and Bess appeared to be de
fending her diamonds against seizure
by her husband. They next went to
Jefferson, where Abe registered at the
hotel under an assumed name. They
quarreled in lond and angry tones
nearly all night On the following day
they hired a horse and wagon, rilled a
basket with luncheon, and started off as
though for a pleasure trip into the
country. Bess acted as though afraid
of her companion. She had the dia
monds still in her pocket Abe return
ed to the hotel at night alone, saying
that the woman had gone to visit
friends. He packed his baggage, burn
ed some papers, and returned to Cincin
nati, where he spent most of his time
for two weeks in gambling, according to
his habit. His demeanor was erratic,
however, and he told his friends that
somebody was following him. At
length he shot himself in the hesd, but
not fatally. About the same time the
bodv of Bess was found in the Texas
"This is the brain. Its weight is
fire pounds," the professor said. Plac
ing a human brain beside it, he con
tinned: "The intellectual portion is
well developed. The convolutions ate
more intricate than those of the human
brain. The spinal cord is not as Urge ss
that of the horse. Tb J trunk is rich
with nerves and mcacles. The eye is
smaller than the horse's. The heart
you will notice, has two points; in that
it differs from all other animals. This
shape is seen in a marine monster,
whose shape is somewhat like to that of
the porpoise. The complex mass of
muscle on the neck, which supports the
head, is most interesting. The dirtct
cause of desth waa pulmonary conges
tiou. The lungs were so congested thst
they sank in water."
The hide was exhibited. The cover
ingof the feet looked like large rub
ber shoes. The hide at this part is
more than three-quarters of an inch is
thickness.

he somehow managed to wriggle out of
trouble.

professional expertness struck a light,
tumbled into some clothes and rushed
from the house.
No need to ask whence the alarm pro
ceeded; the fierce pillar of flame and
the red glow in the sky were beacons
toward which he ran at headlong speed,
with one thought in his mind, "I pray
heaven it may not be the rectory 1"
"Where is it?" he shouted to two
laborers, fagging along as swiftly as
heavy boots and ponderous habits of
progression would let them.

" Farmer Joyce's I Thank heaven I

near enough to endanger it !"
Mat's suspense gave place to a thrill
of almost pleasuiable excitement; it was
his " mad youn blood " asserting it
self. Dashing through a gateway, he
almost ran over a girl, bare-headed,
wringing her hands in impotent anxiety.
It was Miss Bellue.
" G6 beck at once," commanded Mat,!
curtly. " Put on a hat, and the thickest
, shawl you have."
The panic-stricken girl obeyed. Not
till afterward did it occur to her he had
no right to issue such instructions.
When she returned it waa to find Mat

of a burning pig-stye, pitching out
squeaking, half -roasted porkers.
" Just my luck I" he grumbled, ex-
Mat went from house to house with a
grave face, and a cheerful, kindly, hope
ful word to every poor terrified wretch,
who shuddered at his own fears.
Then his father was stricken, "the
old doctor."
Poor "old doctor!" When the evil
he had dreaded really came to him,
seized upon him, he grew brave and
was s.eeping in a isrmnouse in ine
Shenandoah valley. He told his dream
to the farmer next morning, and on
three successive nights he had the same
vision. Then he prevailed on the farmer
to aooompany him to the forest where
he pointed out a Isrge oak tree as tho
one he had seen in his dream. It waa
apparently sound st the butt tut about
twentv feet up a limb had been broken
off. The farmer did not feel like humor
vanity; nor any which, by ill-manage
ment, makes so contemptible a flguie.
Restrain thy choler, hearken much

Miss Bellue watched the funeral pro
cession from that same upper window
she had once before put to a similar use.
Very contrite waa Misa Bellue in these
days. A horrible dread hed taken pos
session of her with the first report of
cholera in the yillage. She fought
against it; she hatred herself for it; she
tried to drag herself to the beds of the
sick poor; but trembling limbs refused
to carry her. It was constitutional
physical cowardioe; and every gossiping
tale of Mat's calm heroism increased her
self-abasement and her love and admira
tion for that unconscious gentleman.

When the tree fell, there was a rsttle of
coin near where the limb tad been
broken off, and a small hollow was found
there. By a little chopping a larger
cavity was found, snd within was a mass
of silver. Both seemed wild with de
light and on counting up found that the
pile amounted to $5,000. The peddler
expressed his unwillingness to carry
around so much silver in his pockets.
