As if my spirit wtikingwhile 1 slept

And tlievu found rc:-t, froo from all rush and

Sitting one eve li 'si le a soundles.s sen

LENJORE.
He (rlaneed up from his writint;, In the dim
old libiary. He cast a hurried look at the
open window; for it seemed to him that for
just one instant a face that ho had known was
there, set like a picture In the Irame of , Ivy
boughs.
A face Ih'it ho had known and yet not
known. A low broad brow, with auburn hair
that rippled back from it in softest waves; a
delicate red mouth; threat, deep-brown cyet.
Yes, bill the brown eyVs he had known never
had that weary wistful look In them; the red
lips he had ki sed had never nuivercd mc
wllh happy smiles.
Ije brushed his hand across hit eyes to shut
the vision out; und when apiiu he looked up,
it was troue.
He drew a long hard breath, and then he
bent down to his writing aain.
It was a lurjju sheet of paper which lay be
fore him; antl tho upper half of this page was
covered with dose writing, a critique for the
magazines upon some stientillc book. Over
the lower half of the puge Ills pen lie- in to move
tiow, steadily though slowly, and na if the
wilier were plunged in deep thought.
7" In; curtains were put back from the wip.
dows, that tho lust light of the dccliulng day
intent reach him here, The wrlllng-table at
which ho sat was in Ihe middle of tho floor;
and he had his hack to one of the side win
d 'ws opening down upon tho lawn, yiilis,
when through tho divided curtains womau'i
llgtire stole in noiselessly, he did not know.
She came iiiito near, this pallid creature
with the wistful brown eyes, and the trembling
lips. She stood behind him wttti her two hands
clasped together; then suddenly she dropped
down on her knees, and hid her face upon his
right linn which lav on tho table as ha wrote.
The man starled at the touch, lifted It's head,
and looked at her. Peril ips It wu tin: spell i f
those eves upon her, peril ips it was the uu
broken silence; but she too lifted her head
after a pause, and the two looked full at one
mother, for the lirst lime In years.
It was her face Unit spoke more lur quiver
ing. Idling, (lushing, fearing, yet expectant
face. Hut it was bo who broke Hie silence
with words.
"Why have you come hack here, .enure?
Five years ago 1 woul.l have brought you here;
five years ago it was all my hope.all my dream
of the future tint you should bo here at my
side. Hut now It is too late."
Her color fled from cheek and lip.
"Too lulu?" alio mid "loo late?" 7'licii
suddenly, and trying hard to Driug her voice to
a ileiid calm : "You mean smnu other woman
has the place that was to have b'en mine?
You mean that you are married ?"
S he bad risen to her feet; she stood ball
nverled from him in the act to go away.
Hut she paused for Ills answer Hist, lcani-g
heavi'v with one hand on III ' table
"Married " lie laughed a short hard l nn;b
that bad no men Imeiil in it.
Ho you th ink 1 wou'd have tried tli.d liiltel
farce again J No, l.eiiore. It was enough fin
me, the lesson w hich toil taught me, when you
Hod out of tny kcu upon Hut very eve ot our
inairiage."
Just a Huge of color came back to hcMrcin-
toing lips.
"Have I taught you to distrust til women ?"
"All women," lie said, shortly.
"And you never thought I iniglit liavo tome
excuse
"Of course," he broke in bitterly.
"When were excuses over lacking to a nun
or woman, since tho dayt when Adam laid.
The woman tempted lite and I did eat ?' Only
in your esse, I suppose "
He would h ive laid : "I suppose It wat a
man who templed. "
Itut one giance down Into her white face he
wai standing now opposite to lior-slopped
him. She said faintly:
"In mi rate? Let mo tit down and tell you
how it It in my case, even though it it too late
May I sit down? 1 nm very tired, I walked
over from Avoiihnrt where I am staying; Mrs
Avon told me you were mt at home."
"And If you had known of my reluiu yu

H,e shook her head without looking at htm,
and took hit chair which he had move a Hill,
toward her, himself ilan ling by, md waiting
for her rest words.
Hut they did not come quickly.

a sorely broken man," tho went on, with a
lender il!y In her quivering Voice.
"He needed inc. He could not bo brought

child's love and care ?"
Mark Lester did not amwer.
I.-tio!r, not daring to look up nt him. sat
with her brow still resting on her hands, her
yes fixed blankly on that half written page of
his, which Indeed she did not see.
'He died last winter." she went on. "I
ililuk 1 was a comfort to him. And I thought
I ought to tell you why I went, away al
though of coarse It it too late."
And still he did not speak; and still she tat
there ttaritig blankly down on the half writ-
ircn page, she did not think or reading It;
the lines were blurred and dim lo lur wet eyes.

Yes. "I, nn.'e !'' "I.cnore!" That name his
pen had traced there, all across that last half-
page, when he had seen tho drciini, as In
thought, at the window.
Lcnoro looked up suddenly.
"I.cuore !"
Just that one word: it w as all that lie could
speak. Hut Lonnre understood the rest, a-

PECK'S BAD BOY.
"What on earth Is that you have got on your
upper Hp ?" Slid the grocery man lo the. bad
boy , as he came In and beg in to peel a rutu
baga, mid his upper Hp hung down over Ii is
teeth, and was covered with something that
looked like shocaiiikrr'a wax. "You look at
though you had I cen digging potatoes witli
your nose."
"0, that's tome of pa's darn smartness. I
asked lii in If he knew of anything that would
make a boy's moustache grow, ami he told me
the best thing he ever tried was tar, and for
01 0 to rub it on thick when I went to bed, and
wash it off In Ilia morning. I put it on lun
11 ght, and by gosh I calif wush it till. 1'a told
me all I had to do was to use a scouring biick
nil I it took the skin oil, und the tsr is there
yd, and say, does my lip look very Wad?"
The grocery man told lilm 11 was the woist
looking Hp be ever saw, but ho could ruto It
by rubbing a little cayenne pepper In 'tho tar.
He said the tar would iioulialir.e the pepper,
and the pepper would loosen the tar, und act
as a cooling lotion to the lacerated Hp. The
boy went lo a cm of pepper behind the conn
tor, and stuck his linger in and rnlibcd a lot of
It on his lip, nod llicu h i hair began to raise,
and he began to cry, and lushed to the wutrr
p iil and ran uis face into the water to wash oil
the pepper. The grocery man laughed, and
when the boy hud got the pepper washed oil,
and had resumed bis lutabigi, he nid:
"7'hnt seals your fate. No man ever trlllet
with the feelings of the bold buccaneer of the
Spanish main, without living to rue il. I will
lay for you, old man, and don't you forget it.
1'a thought he was smart whin ho got mo to
put tar on my Hp to bring my mustache out,
and to iluy he layt on a bed of pain, and to
morrow your turn will come. You will regret
that you did not gel down on your knees and
beg my pardon, You will bo sorry you did nut
prescribe cold errant for my buiised lip, In

"Look here, young man, don't you threaten
me, or I will lake you by the car nm) walk y. tl

"Well, give me a glass of cider and wo will
lie friends, and I will tell you. Thanks I liosli,
but that elder Is nude out of mouldy ill led
apples and ttwer water," and he took a hand
ful of layer raisins oil the top of a box lo take
the tatlo out of Ins mou'h, and while the gro
cer charged a peck of iiila'sgas, a gallon (if
cider and two pounds of raisins lo the boy't

0., THURSDAY,
hit feet flew up'and ho ttruck on bit ptntt and
alid down the steps. The minister nid 'great
heavensdeacon, arelyou hurt ? Let me atilet
you,' snd he took two quick steps, and you
lure 6eon these fellows in a nigger thow that
kick each oilier head over IiccIb and fall ou
llieir cars, and stand on their heads and turn
around llko a top. The minister's, feet slipped
and the next I saw he was standing on his
head in hit hat, and Ills legt were tort of
willed and fell limp by hit tide, tnd he fell
over hit ttomach. You talk about tpreadlnr
the gospel in heathen lands. It Ii nothing lo
the way you can spread It with two qtiarlt of
toll soap. 7'ho minister didn't look plum a
hit when ha was trying to CBtch Hie tailing.
He looked at though ho wanted to murder
every man on earth, but It may bo ho was
tired. Well, pa was paralyzed, and ho and tho
other deacont rushed out to pick up the in In
later and tho lint old man, when they struik
the step they went kicking. Pa't feet some
how slipped backwards, nml he turned a sum
meisaiilt and ttruck full length on litis back,
and one heel wat across the mlnlster'i neck,
and he slid down the steps, and the other
deacon fell all over llio other three, and pa
swore at them, and it was tho worst looking
lot of pious people I ever saw. 1 think If the
minister had been in the woods somewhere,
where no body could have heard him, he
would have used bad lenguage. They all
teemed mad at each oth-r. Tho hired girl
told ma there was three trainps out on tho side
walk lighting pa, and ma the took up the
brooin and alarlod to help pa, and I tried lo
stop tnu, 'cause her constitution is not very
Btrong, and I didn't waul her to do any flying
trapeze butincss, but 1 couldn't stop her, and
the went out with the broom and towel lied
around her head. Well, I don't know where
nia did atrike, but when the came in she said
she had palpitation of the lieait, but that was
not the place where she put the arnica. O,
but she did go through thu air like a bullet
through cheese, and when sho went down tlic
slops a binnblly-hump, I felt sorry for nia.
The minister bad got so he could sot up on tho
sidewalk, wllh his back against the lower step,
when ma came sliding down, and one ot Ihe
heels of her gaiters hit the minister in the hair,
and the other foot went right through between
his arm and h I side, and tho brooin like to
pushed kit teelh down his throat. Hut he wat
not mad al ma. As toon as he see it was ma
he said 'Why, sister, the wicked stand in slip
pery places, don't I hey,' and ma she wat iimd
and said for htm lo let go licr slocking, and
then pa was: mad and he said, 'look-a here,
you sky-pilot, this thing has gout) far enough,'
and then a ptiliccman etui along mid Hist he
thought tiny weru all drunk, blithe found
llicy were respectable, and he got a (hip and
scraped the soap olf of them, and they went
home, and pa and ma they got in the house
tome way, und Juit then the Idler carrier
c.nno along, lint he didn't have any letters for
us, and liu didn't come onto I lie steps, and
then 1 went up stairs and 1 said, 'I'a, don't
yoti think It it real mean, after you and I llxcd
the loap on the tteps fcr tho letter carrier, tic
didn't come on the step nt all," and pa wa
scratching the soup olf lilt pants with a piece
of shingle, and the hired girl was pulling lint
incut un ma, and heating it in for palpitation
of the heart, and pa said, 'You ds.nl Idjit, no
more of tins, or I'll maul the liver out of you,'
an I I asked him if he didn't think so(t soup
would help il mustache lo glow, un. I he picked
up ma's work -basket and Ihiew it at my head
as I went down stairs, and I came over here.
Don't you think my pa it unreasonable to gel

the Annunciation, at Kansas City, Mo.,
by Kev. Father David !S. Phelan, of
St. Louis, well known as tho editor of
the Wosieii Watchman. Having as
serted that "the idea ot the soul ami
the faith in its immortality must have
come down from ubove, as earth could
not have taught it, nor could death
have inspired it," tlio reverend father
said I
"If thorn is no hereafter, then life is
one long debauch, and the highest od
oca! ion is to know how to timl and
how best to enjoy pleasure. It there
is no hereafter, virtue is a duct it and
heroism is a lie. See that young man
bleeding from a linn died wounds, llo
died in defense of a sister's honor. If
there is no hereafter, that noblest of
deeds will go unrewarded. Son that
young sister in tho hospital bending
over a victim of tho plague; to-morrow
she will succumb, and a rapid ride ami
a hasty sepulture will reward her de
votion. If there is no hereafter, her
charity met a sorry roipiital. See that
man holding an allViglited child at the
window of a burning building, lie
holds it long enough for a sturdy coin
union to grap it troin below, and ho
then falls hack into his fiery loin li.
If there is no hereafter, such saerilico
is heartless and unmeaning cruelty
See that troop of xoldicrs marching by
to the iliu boating of the drum. Their
country has called, and they go forth
to defend Iter honor on tl.e iiatllo-tiohl.
They follow that Hag into the thick of
the tight, ami when the bngh1 sounds
thu retreat, few return from the car
nage. Those bravo suhlieisdle.l, their
face lo tho foe, and a smile was
Stamped ou their features in death.
there is no hcroallor, their heroi n)
was suicide and their courage a mock
cry of fate. Earthly life is closed in
death, the grave terminates nil consort
and association with tilings of time;
but, wafted above tho bier, the wreck,
the tomb, lloats tho sweet voice of
(iod, saying : ''1 am the Life."
Contrast the above with tho follow
ing from one of Colonel Ingot-soli's
lectures, an I, beaut fill and tender as
is the language of the inlidel orator,
that of Father I'ltelan loses nothing
by the comparison .
"Next to eternal j..y; next to being
forever with those who have loved Us;
net to that is to bo wrapped in the
dream like drapery of eternal death,
I'pon the shadowy shore of death the
sea of trouble casts no waves. F.yes
that have been curtained by the ever
lasting dark will never know again
the lunch of tears. Lips that have
boon touched by the eternal silence
will never niter an 'liter word ol grief.
Heart of dust do nut break. The
dead do not Weep."
The Kansas City Journal, publish
ing the sermon, said that its subject
matter fax only equalled by the giaee
and charm of in delivery. It. is hard -ly
likely that Mr. Inge .'-soil will at
tempt to ridicule this Catholic priest
as he has so many assumed del'eudeis
of tlu Christian lailh. Father l'hclan
is apparently a very dill'orcnt adver
sary from some of the pulpit's mounte
banks Mr. Ingersoll has encountered,
whoso drivelling sentiment and limp
inor logic do more to injure (he cause
of religion than even Mr. Ingersoll's
insidious arts and eloquent periods.
Father I'Man is master. of the cap
on Mr. Ingersoll uses and the infidel
orator must eat porridge from bis own
dish in nil encounter wilh this knight
of ihe cross.
PROVERBS FOR THESE DATS
Howaroof false prophets and patent
tool Ii ache drops,
Look not upon the horse ntce and
monkey with the pool seller, for it is
not w ise to bet unless you can win.
Try not to guv the stranger who so
journeth in the land and scemeth uiei-k
and sad; for of such are three-card
niniile men made.
A wise woman will nut light ihe fire
with kerosene, but will invite the ser
vant girl, to whom sho owes three
mouths wages lo do the same.
If a ntau smiles lltee on the right
cheek, turn also to him thv left cheek.
and peradventure limn cast with jfreat
case plant a kick that will cau him
to become discouraged and repent of
lua folly.
The young man who drinketh too
copiously ot lire-wa'er, and trieth lo
"run a town," will surely come to
gi icf, when in the fullness of time he
hath everlastingly hammered the stub
born limestone.
Experience is a high grade school
course thorough, tuition free but in
cidental expenses enormous.
Tho foolish man savelh to himself :
will Idow in the niiixxle of this emp
ty gnu," and tho wise coroner will say
in bit report : "Accidentally llowid
to the hereafter."

''Well not, amazingly frequontlv,''

In the old hickory tree at the end of
