"Still sits the Bchool-honse by tLe road,
_A. nurged beggar sunning;
AVOntod it still the sumachs grow
And blackberry vines are running.
Within the masters desk is seen,
Deep scarred oj raps official,
The warping.floor, the battered seats,
The jack-knife's carved initial; •
The charcoal frescoes on its Wall; ■>
It's door's worn sill, betraying
"The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went storming out to playing.
Long yeai s ago a winter sun
Shone over it at setting;
lit up its western window panes,
And low eaves' icy fretting. *
Tt touched the tangled golden earls,
And brown eyes fall of grieving,
Of one who still her steps delayed,'
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little fcoy
Her childish favor singled,
Etls cap pulled low upon his face.
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing feet the snow
To right and left he lingered;—
As restlessly her tiny hands "
Her bine-checked apron fingered.
He" saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft band's light caressing;
AnS. heard the trembling of her voice,
As if a fault confessing.
•I'm sorry that I spelt the word:
-> I hate to go above you
Because'—the brown eyes lower fell, —
'Because you see, I love you'!
BtUl memory to a gray haired man,
That sweet child-face is showing,
Dear girll the grasses on her grave
Having forty years been growing.
He lives to learn in life's hard school;
How few who pass above him
Lament the triumph and his loss,
Like her,—because they love him,"

MT EXPERIENCE AS AN ACCOMPLICE IN
LONDON WITH A MURDERED WOMAN,
AND A CONFESSION.
(State Journal).
It was between the lights on a gloomy
December afternoon. I was Ihe sole oc«
cupant of the smoking room of a "Liter.,
ary and Artistic Club" which faced the
Thames. I flung fresh coal ou the gloomy
embers, and stirred them till they seut
up a blase of light that drove the ghosts
ont of the shadowy corners, and then
picked up a paper haphazard from the
table, to dawdle over it till the waiter
lighted the gas or some human being
wandered in to keep mo compauy. It
waa an American paper. Some vi6itur
to the club bad leit it behind him acci-
dentally. I turned the pages listlessly,
unlil suddenly my attention was arrest
ed by a paragraph headed "Extraordis
nary Cnine." It was the story of the
robbery of a body of s lady from its grave.
The whole affair was shrouded in mys
tery. On the 14th of the month there
died in an American city the beautifnl
wile of an Englishman traveling toi
pleasure. In the same paper w hicli con
' tallied this paragraph I found nnder the
beading of' Cradle, Altar» Tomb*' the
following: 'On the Irtrt., in this
eity, Drusilla, the beloved wife of Bliss
aett Emertnn, ot Loudon. England, aged
twenty four;' In due course the poor
lady was buried, and during the night
the church yard was entered and the cof
fin carried away. No motive is suggest
ed in this American paper for the crime
The husband is interviewed at this hotel,
fle is Inconsolable for the loss of bis
beautiful young wife—mad wilh mingled
nge and horror at the desecration ol her
ftmaina. He tells his story to .the'r*
porter. He bad only beon married a lew
month*. They were traveling for pleas
ure in America. His poor wife caught a
cold a fortnight since, returning from
. Hbe theatre. He had medical advice, but
. the 00id increased and iuflammalion of
. the lungs set in. and soon all was over.
He buries his head in his hauds and
weeps, aiul the reporter leaves Lira alone
with liis sacred sorrow. The account in
tlio paper I was reading by the firelight
concludes tlias: 'Up to the present no
clue to tins mysterious affair has been
obtained. I glanced at (ho date of the
paper, and flung it down in disgust. It
wns two years old. Iliad grown inter
ested in (ho all.iir, and here it was two
years old already, and probably forgot
i ten. Where should I find out how it
j ended? The shadows had grown darker
and darker; the fitful flare of the fire had
Idled down into a dull red glow, and the
riversido lamps were being lit. I flung
my setback into the easy chair, thrust
my hands into my pockets and half clos
ed my eyes. Suddenly I was aware that
I was not alono in the room. From (he
darkest corner there rose a long black
figure. It glided slowly towards mo. I
had placed llio paper where I had found
it, on the table, by my tide. The figure
seemed to be looking for something. It
passed its hands over the table and peer
ed down among the papers. Presently
it came to the table at ray elbow. In
(he gloom, as I sat in the deep arm chair,
I believe I was almost invisible. The
figure came right up to me, and, reach
ing out its hand, passed ii over my table.
Presently it seized something, and glid
ed away wilhit to the window, on which
the lamps without flung a flicker of light.
Then I saw that it was a man, and that
in his hand ho held the American paper
in which 1 had just read the ot a
mysterious crime. He glanced at it K nnd
muttered something that sounded like
'How curelessJof me I' then lolded the
paper and (hrust it into his breast pock
et, and walked out ot ihe room. Hard
ly had the door closed behind him wlieu
the attendant came in -villi lights. 'Who
is that gentleman who has just gone out?'
I said.
"* . h*iv B N
•Don't know his name, sir. Ain't seen
him hero often.'
I remembered lhat at this club every
member had to sign his name in a daily
book kept in the hall for that purpose. I
ran down stairs, and looked at the*opeu
leaf to-see it lhat would aflord 1110 any
clue- The first name that onugbt my eye
was that ot Blissett Emertou.
No wonder the figure I had seen in
the darkness had been so anxi)U9 to find
that paper. I saw at once what had hap
pened. Me hKd been in the room read"
ing, fancying himself alone, lie had laid
the paper down thoughtlessly and drop*
ped oil to sleep. I had not noticed Lim
in the gloom and he was quite unaware
of my presence. *
One thing more I did before I left.
I turned over to the members' address
book, and looked under the E's. Tlicrc
I found the name ol 'Blisfiett Emerton,'
and against it 'No. 7 Blank Court, Tew-,
pie.'
Soon afterwards I found time to (lino
at the club, and there I met an old friend
ot niiuo, a barrister, wtioin I bad not
seen for a year, who after dinner invit
ed me to come to his "chambers for an
boar.
'Still iu your old diggins then,'l said.
•Oh no,' he answered. 'l've moved
since I saw you Iftst into another let.
I've got capital chambers at No. ? Blank
court. I asked him at once if he knew
Mr. Emerton.
'Only by sight,' he answered, 'lie has
chambers on the same floor, and we pars
on the landing. We never speak.'
1 stayed longer than 1 meant to. and it
was striking 10 as wo came out oil the
landfog.. .Tfte outer door of Mr. Eaters
ton's chamber was ajar. As we passed
the inner door opened, and a rnau rush
ed out, with ascarqd white false. It wa*
Bli*sett Emerton!
•Help!' lie cited, tearing at his l«Mlar
as though it choked him. 'Help! help!'
in bin' throat, and he lell forward in a fit.
I (fogged him into his chambers, which
were in tolnl darkness, and laid him on
the.door* bidding my friend for \n

I looked she raised bt>r'arm* wilh a
strange menacing gesture and pointed at
me. Then she glided in among the trees
and was lost to sight. The doctor came,
examined Einerton, and prescribed tor
him. 'He's bsd a violent fright,' he said,
'but he'll be all right by and by. It's
more hysterical than anything else.

man's strange story, what could I wish
for bet(ci'|thaii a night alono with him.
The doctor gave mb certain directions
and left.
We had carried Etnerton to hia bed
room and pat him on (lie boil. Seeing
ho was still, I went into tba front room,
piled up the fire, put oil the keltle, found
some whiskey," lit my pipe and prepared
for the night. I had just turned the
burner down when I became aware ol a
soft grating sound at the outer door.
Some one was softly opening flic ouler
door with a key, The gas was low down.
Hurriedly I picked up my overcoat and
other traces of my presence and flung
them under thoMarge couch at the end of
the room. It was an old fashioned sofa
with a hanging valance which reached to
the groumr. I then crept undernetUh,
and waited for tho car tain to rise on (he
drama. 1 had hardly got into a safo po
sition when the outer door yielded, and I
heard a step in the passage that intervens
ed. Then the outer door was gently
closed. 1 expected to see tho inner door
open in its turn and some 0110 enter. The
minutes went by, and no one camo
Whoever it might be was in the passage.
1 could hear a Blight; movement every
now and then, and the rustle of a wo
man's dross, It must have been quite
ten minutes I heard tho outer door
open whou I noticed that the innerono
was swinging noiselessly back on its
binges, and something was gliding ipto
the room. Slowly it moved across the
floor till it stood right lu the ditu light of
the turned down gas. , 11
I shall never forget the terrible sight
that met toy eyes. I would have scream
ed, but my tongue remained glued to. my
mouth, i was looking at tho dsad wo
man risen from her grave.. Ilor faco
had beon beautiful in life; now it wal
asliengray. The eyes were Sunken .In
their sockets, aud her lips were pale and
colorless. The figura was draped in a
long while shroud, and'l fanciod that tho
room was heavy witfy the awful odor of
an open grave. Slowly the phantom
moved towards the next room and glided
in. For a mefpeut all was still. Then
came at ialnt cry. The man was awake
and alono with tho aparition. 'Di usillal'
he shrieked, 'Mercy! Mercy 1 Ilavo Mor
ay !'
1 heard a hollow voico answer him,
'Rise and tollow ino.'
•What would you have with mo.'
'Confess.' . r,
'Whatshall I confess?' answered the
wretched man, his voice U-cmbling in an
agony of fear.
•Confess Iho fonl wrong you did
Confess where my poor body lies, (hat it
may be buried in holy ground.'
Again the man's trembling voice wail
ed ont, 'I will confess all.'
Follow me I' *
The apaiition glided from an inner
room, and the man followed her.
' Write I'
The dead woman pointed to the table
where (he pen and ink were, and the
man oboved her gestures mechanically.
'Write all!' ( •
I could see from the rent inTne valance
the whole scene. The man, while wilh
terroi, the bead* of perspiration on bis
brow, sat and wrote.
The apavation glided behind him and
looked over bis shoulder.
■ One* lie paused in bis task.
•Write all,' said the white figure.
And again ho wrolo.
The figure iben grasped Ihe paper with
its waxen fingers. *(lol' it said, point
ing to the initer room.
With bis eyes fixed upon its livid face,
the man backed slowly lor some pijces.
With a violent eflort and a little stream,
he't-eizod the door, swung it to, and bolt
ed it on the inside.
Then for the iirtit time, the Jeatl wo
muu trenibljsd.
She seemed straDgely nervous and ag*
itated now. She dat|>ed the paper close
ly, then put it in her bosom, and glided
ftoiii the room. . . i , ./

I took her arm as though I had bf eti

She nodded to the proposition. The
man at thfgate was half asleep. I rous

"I then listened to th- strangest story
that ««vor mortal li|« had uttered, and
there was no that every word of
of it,was true.
The confession, .which the trembling
wretch had written her dictation—as
iie believed a the dictation of "his dead
wife—i had roail. It was a plain atate
inent of how h« had poisoned the poor
girl wbom-ht had wedded in a fit of nia'd
jealousy, and how hil'liad concealed his
crime; how at the last moment fia , Had
overheard a whisper that some Que
prcted foul play; and how, fearing the
body might be exhumed, he had, with
the assistance c f an accomplice, siuce
dead, stolen the bodj that night and re
buried it in the garden of a house in a
lonely part of the American town where
his accomplice lived.
Tliis woman was bis wife's sister, and
she had suspected foul play Irom the
