A. traveliug postH)ffice inspector wens up into Scott county a few days ago for the purpose of investi gating certain reported crookedness. One afternoon he reached a small cabin situated near a lonely road. He stopped, m'eiuliiig lo get a of improved existences, diifting and endless as. tne ciouu-seas oi colors. Clutching it, as ii the tightness of his hold would strengthen his sense of possession he went aimlessly down the street. It was his watch at the mill. He Deed not go, need never go again, thank God, shaking oH tue thought with unspeakable loath ing. Shall I go over the history of the hours of that night t how the man wandered fioin one to another of his old haunts, with a half-con-sciousness of bidding them fare well, lanes and alleys and back yards where the mill-hands lodged, noting, with a new eagerness, the filth and drukenness, the pig pens, the ash-heaps covered with, potato skins, the bloated, pimpled women at the doois, with a new vague dread, unknown before, smothered down, kept under, but still there t It left hiru but once during the night, when, for the second time in his life be entered a church. It was a sombre Gothic pile where thestained glass lost it self in far-retreating arches; bnilt to meet the requirement and sj ropa ! thies of a far other class than Wolfe's. Yet it touched, moved shim uncontrollably. The distances, the shadows, the still marble iig desperate efforts to escape. 'W H,' drink of water, aud as he drew a? uaiey, tne jailer, said, "auAH Uear the house was astonished at blame to him ! Nineteen earu' imprisonment was not a pleasant thing to look lorward to." Haley was very good natured about it, though Wolfe had fought him sav agely. . -'When he was first caught," the jailer said afterward in telling the tory, ''before the trial, the fellow was cut down at once. laid there on that pullet like a dead man. with his hands over his eyes. Nev er saw a mau so cut down in mv life. Time ot the trial,-too, came seeing a signboard bearing the fol fowitig inscription : Toorst oils." An old fellow, with a grizzly beard and a hairy' chest displayed, as his shirt was unbuttoned -came out, aud merely nodding to the in- ,j become almost purple. We clip from the Wilminton Star the following'nen picture by Frank Carpenter, with the Star's comment on each, to which we add ours. Be sides being fine reading we hope that food for thoughtmaj be sug gested thereby : Here is Frank Carpentet's de scription of Senator Coke in tiia let ter to the N. Y. World. Coke' head would fill a half bushel basket. It is as white as the cheek of a babv and it shines like the parchment ot a boy's new drum. It is full at the crown and the fore bead fades into it without a wisp to mark thllne of Us height. Coke is tall, bnt with bun the saying docs Dot bold good that the cock loft is often empty when the build inff is several stories high. Coke's brows are beauty and hisface wears perpetual frown. The skin of nu scalp is the thermoneter of bis brain, and when he grows angry it rises to redness, ana u ne is enrag- fctui the queerest dodge of any custom- bucket all to pieces, au' 6ince then er l ever nai. noma cnoose no lawyer. Judge gave him ose, of course. Gibson it was. He tried to move the fellow crazy; but it wculdu's go. Thing was plain as daylight : check found on him. T'was a hard sentence, all the law allows; but it was for 'sample's eake. Th se mill hands are gettiu' oubearable. When the scn'ence was read, hejnst looked up, aud said the money was his bv riehts. and that all the world had gone wrong.

Of course we have separate church es, with high fences all round, so that the sheep of one flock can't get over and mix with the per in his ear, as he went slowly down the darkening street? The evening came on, slow and calm. He seated himself at the end of an ally leading into one of the larger streets; His brain was i clear to-night, keen, intent, mas tering. ; It would not start back, I cowardly, from any hellish tempta tion, but meet it lace to iace. Therefore the great temptation of prettiest town in the .state how sheeD 0f another, but every few his life came to him veiled by no and does more business than ani, al1 in too-nther.

You can see the roods than any retail house in lnw fencea that .divide them worshippers, the mysterious music, thrilled, luteu his soul with a won derful pain. Wolfe forgot himself, forgot the new life he was going to live, the mean terror gnawing un derneath. The voice of the speak er strengthened the charm ; it whs clear, feeling, falf.-strong. An old man, who had lived much, suffered much ; whose brain was keenly alive, domiuaut; whose heart was summer-warm with charity.
