Selected Story.
The Tax' Collector's Wife.
The night shadows with lgin
nintr to settle down uho the- earth.
All day the rain had leen falling,
gurnet hues in a heavy shower; the
there's and pinks in the garden
had a sickly look, for the ietals
huii low and were heavy wilh wa
ter and with mud that had Splash
Hi upon them. The clouds were
till dark and threatening, be?qeak
in a stormy niirht. The little
town of Ash ton, in Virginia, was
unusually quiet. The streets' were
too muddy and the weather too in
ilement to entice ieople from their
homes. Only now and tUen a soli
tary traveler was to be been.
In a vine wreathed cottage on a
flownr sprinkled lawn the supier
"Had been waiting over an hour for
Vw master of the houe, whose bus
iness had necessitated his being ab
sent f rum home all day. Mr. Ja
cobs was the tax collector of the dis
trict, uud enn-quently i did not
wait tho return of pleasant weath
rr before pursuing his journey.
Therefore, he had equippf-d hi"i
selfin his India rubber k overgar
ment in the morning, and: had
gune about hlsbusim-ss, le:iviug his
wife the promise of an early re
turn in the evening; but supier
time-had, come -and gttfie Without
his making his appearance.', Mrs.
Jacobs, however, was not anxious

'jtxerit to cause this oue' to give her
ay uneasiness of mind.
She' flitted about the house, busy
ith evening duties, singing a gay
s "iff as nlm went, with a world of
fmrage written in her dark, spark-
eyes.
Anon she, disrobed her little ones
d put them to bHi ; and when
night shadows turned into an
' 'ky blackness she seated herself
h the lamp and began' to work,
"ti!l leaving the upper table spread ,

"'antU'ahelf had lold the hour of

"Gm'tUs helped,", he returned,
H business is business, you know."
He, removed hla Iiand from- his
ket and took off his hat, and

handsome face of a ilght-eom-j'i'-xioned
middle-aged man. ' He
h-i large gray eyes, but they wore
onxlous expression, and their

"ing his hand into hU trouble

" Well, you can leave it here as
well as not. No one would think
of my having such a sum of mon
ey."
He drew a large wallet from hi3
pocket and pfabexl It'In: her hands.
. It belongs to the government,
and if you let it pass from your
hands I am ruined," he added.
And he rose as If to depart.
' You are going to eat some sup
per?' she Inquired.
No, I have no time to lose. I
must reach Richmond by mid
night. Good-bye. Take good care
of the money, and mind you fasten
all the doors."
He gave her a hurried kiss, and
wagW:
But the sound of his footsteps had
8carrely died away before Mrs. Ja
cobs began to feel a strange fear
creeping over her. Why it was
she knew not. She had lived
there seven years and slept there
man' anight without doors being
even shut. Now, they were locked
and bolted, she could not think of
going to bed. She was too nerv
ous for that. 1
She was likewise too nervous to
work. She put the money in the
pocket of her dress, aud clamping it
tightly" in her hands she sat very
still, gazing anxously into noth
ingness, and listening so intently
that silence bctmo a fearful ming
ling of dic-jrd-iut sounds in her
ears.
An hour p is-cd. It had been an
age to her. Presently sho heard a
sound. It was not the rain, for
thero was a perfect lull in the
storm, it could not be a neighbor,
for she lived on the outskirts of the
village, some distance from any
one, and sho was not likely to be
called up in case of sickness.
. Again she heard it. It seemed
asif a window sash had been slow
ly raised. Strange that sheshould
have forgotten to fasten them
down I , . ...
' Why didn't John leave mo his
revolver ?" she mused. "I have
nothing with which to portect my
self in easel should be molested to
night. It was really an oversight
in him."
Again she heard' the sonnd. It
seemed to come from the bed-room.
It was surely the raising of a sash.
Then there was the sound of a
movement as though some one was
entering that way.
Fear nearly paralized for a mo
ment; but she quickly rallied, and
taking up the lamp, proceeded to
investigate the matter. She had
scarcely opened the door when she
started back with a half-suppressed
scrciim; Two men in hideous dis
guises were already in the room,
and a third.'ruftlanwas (h lAeact
of crawling, through the : window.-;
Jh voluntarily she clutched the'
pocket Which' cbntalued the - mo
ney, thinking-mean while- howsher
would protect herself and it. Alas I
she had nothing but her own
weak hand to fight the battle, and
shelwell knew how powerless they
were compared- with the strength
of the enemy. "
. -" What do you want here ?" sho
askedJna faltering, voice. .
We want the $5,000 which you
have in keeping for your husband,"
said one of them. - 1
They knew that she had it in her
possession... . . ... -
" You pm get po money, frora
me," she said, decisively ; " I have
no money." ; ' '
. A pretty fib," ho responded.
14 Ve will just look Into your pock
et and see."
In her eagerness to preserve her
treasure she clutched the pocket of
her dress with both hands, thus un
consciously betraying its where
abouts. She turned pale when the knowl
edge of Tier thoughtlessness was re
vealed to her. : - -
"You can't have it, .you shan't
have It," she cried, knowing' all
the while that they would have it
in spite of her.
We will see," exclaimed the
man, seizing her in his arms.
4 She struggled desperately, but
was soon overpowered and the mon
ey taken , from her. v r : v.
-LeA ugo now," said one of the
robbers, You take the money,
and I will settle her tongue in a
wayjthat.lt ' will remain quiet for
one hour. at. least j;' ;l . :Z : -
".rjon'tbe in a hurry," said anoth
er; lam hungry," and -we can
Jdst as well take a morsel here as
not." V " : :
, , -.. f . . ' . .... -
.. The other demurred, but he con
tinued : ' Set to work and get some
supper . You have got a good fire
and some boiling water, and W
want some tea. Go to work I
say!
Mrs. Jacobs 1 knew that a refusal
would only subject her to more in
dignity and he arose to do their
bidding.
She put some more plates on the
table, along with such food as she
had cooked, and then proceeded to
make the tea, wondering all the
while if there was any way to re
gain possession of the money, and
dreading her husband's anger and
dismay on his return should she
fail to do so.
As she took the tea canister from
the pantry shelf she saw a bottle
labelled " arsenic." Her husband
had purchased it on the preceding
day, in order to destroy the rats.
Here was the chance of relief and
she seized it eagerly. Opening the
bottle she put a few grains into the
teapot along with tho tea, of which
she gave good measure, in order to
destroy the taste of the arsenic.
A few minuets later the robbers
were sitting at the table uncon
sciously sipping their death.
"They may kill me," mused the
faithful wife, " but the money will
be found and my husband's honor
saved."
After a few minuets, one by one,
the robbers complained of being
sick.
" I verily believe tho woman has
poisoned us," said one, and the
next moment he fell with a deep
groan on the floor.
" I know that she has poisoned
us," cried another, "and her own
life shall pay the forfeit."
He sprang from his seat and
started towards her, revolver in
hand ; but he fell ere he had reach
ed her.
" Jane," exclaimed the third,
" you have saved the money, but
you have murdered me I"
How strangely familiar sounded
the voice I Forgetting all her old
fears in the new, Mrs. Jacobs sprang
forward and knelt by tho side of
the dying man. None tried to harm
her now, for all wero powerless to
do so.
She pulled the disguise a hide
ous negro face, with large griuning
mouth from the face of the speak
er. Oue look then came a
scroam which echoed through the
house like a peal of thunder. The
dying man was her own husband.
But little more remains to be
told of the sad story. The money
was preserved, but the heroic wo.
man is a maniac, raving in an asy
lum over the murder of her hus
baud. .
Miscellaneous.
A Sister's liove.
Who can tell the thoughts that
cluster around the word Sister?
How ready'she is to forgive the er
rors, to excuse the foibles of a broth
er I She never deserts him. In ad
versity she clings closely to him,
and in trial she cheers him. And
when the bitter voice of reproach
is poured in his ears, she " is ever
ready to hush its hard tones and
turn his attention away from its
painful notes. But let him move in
a flowery path and she hangs clust
ers of smiles about him. In watch
ing his favored career, and listen
ing to his eulogy, she feels the
purest satisfaction. The cold gave
cannot crush her affection for him.
It outlives her tears and sighs.
And hence, she often wanders to
the spot where he reposes, with the
fragrant rosebush and creeping
honeysuckles, and plants them on
his tomb. And who will dare to
affirm her love perishes when she
fades away from earth ? May it
not live far off in the glorious land
and live on, increasing in fervor
and intensity, during the endless
ages of eternity ?
Punishment ot laying.
When Aristole who was a Gre
cian philosopher, and the tutor of
Alexander the Great, was once ask
ed what a man could gain by ut
tering falsehoods, he replied, " not
to be credited when he shall tell the
truth." On the contrary, it is re
lated that when Petarch, an Italain
"poet, a man of strict integrity, was
summoned as a witness, and of
fered in the usual manner to take
an oath before a court of justice,
tha judge closed the book saying
" As for you, Petarch, your tcord
is sufficient." From the story of
Petarch we may learn how great
respect is paid to those whose char
acter for truth is established ; and
from the renjy of Aristole the fol
ly as well as wickedness. of lying.
In the country of Siam, a king
dom of Asia, he who tell3 a lie is
punished according to law, by hav

Frightening Children.
Nothing can bo worse for a child
than to be frightened. The effect
of the scare it is slow to recover
from ; it remains sometimes until
maturity, as shown by many ins
tances of morbid sensitivness and
excessive nervousness. Not un
frequently fear is employed as a
means of Discipline Children are
controlled by being made to be
lieve that something terrible will
happen to them, and hto punished
by being shut up in dark rooms, or
by leing put in places they stand
'In dread of. Children, as far as
possible, should be trained not to
know the sense of fear which above
everything else, is to be avoided in
their education, both early and
late. Ex.
Sal.t for Hogs. I have seen
salt fed to hogs for fifty years, and
in the last twenty years have fed
many heavy hogs, ranging from
300 to 600 ounds net. I fed them
all liberally with salt ; have never
lost one, nor has one been skk an
hour. These have been fattened in
a clote pen, and their principle
food wascornmeal madeintodough.
The dough I have salted, at least
once a day. Sometimes my hogs
would fail to clean out their trough ;
in that case I would put a handful
of salt in my bucket, with some
water ; pour it in their trough and
they would lick it up with much
relish. In addition to salt, I feed
coals from the stove. I make it a
regular custom to feed coals, and it
is astonishing what a quantity a
hog will eat, and how healthy and
robust it will make him. Let the
hogs have plenty of salt and char
coal, and we shall hear less of the
cholera. So says th;e Country Gen
tleman. .
Try. Can't-do-it sticks in the
mud ; but Try soon drags the wag
on out of the rut. The fox Slid,
"Try," and he got away from the
hounds when they almost snapped
at him. The bees said, "Try;"
and turned flowers into honey.
The squirrel said, " Try ;" and up
he went to the top of the beech tree.
The snow-drop said, "Try ;" and
bloomed in the cold snows of win
ter. The sun said, "Try;" and
the spring soon threw Jack Frost
out of the s iddle. The young lark
said, "Try;" and he found that
his new wings took him over
hedges and ditches, and up where
his father Was sining. The ox
said, "Try ;" and follow the field
from end to end. No hill too steep
for try to climb ; no hole too big
for try to mend.
A Hermit who Abhors Women.
Two miles south of Alibion, says
the Rochester (N. Y.) JExprets,"
lives a very singular person named
Anthony Tripp, an old man be
tween seventy and eighty years of
age. He Hvesk-withln a mile and a
half of the NIaara Falls Railroad,
yet he has never seen it, nor the
locomotive whose whistle he daily
hears. For over half a century he
has dwelt by himself, doing all his
own household work. During all
that time no woman has crossed his
threshold, and, indeed, few men.
If a woman approaches his prem
ises, he would bar the doors and
take refuge in-the cellar. With
men he would hold no intercourse,
except when absolutely necessary
or unavoidable. Latterly he seems
to have taken even a stronger an
tipathy to his fellow creatures,
hiding himself upon the approach
of any person. When Anthony
Tripp was about twenty years of
age, as the story runs, he fell in
love with a pretty neighbor-girl,
and was engaged to be married to
her. But she was fickle and jilted
him. From that time his life was
embittered, and he foreswore wo
mankind. He was not one of those
who think there are as good fish in
the sea as ever were caught. The
falseness of this girl partially crazed
him, and he has since dwelt apart
from human kind. This should be
a warning to young women never
to jilt a lover.
Food for Children.
Children do not like fat meat, so
give them good bread and butter,
and allow them plenty of sugar.
A chemist will tell you that both
fatty substance and saccharine or
sweet substance are eventually ox
idized in the body. Sugar is the
form to which many other things
have to be reduced before they are
available as a heat making food ;
and the formation of sugar is car
ried on in the body. It has been
proved that the liver is a factory in
which other constituents of food are
transformed into sugar. Now, it
is probable that your children really
need sugar to keep them well, and
it is fortunate that most children
are fond of vegetable acids. A
saucer of berries, or a ripe apple, is
often a better corrective for chi ld-
ren's ailments than a dose of medi
cine; yet the majority of pareuts
give the nauseous dose preference
over the fruit. It does seem some
times as if parents were occupied
more in denying than gratifying
their children's appetites. This is
neither necessary . nor fair. They
get as tired of bread and milk as
you would. And what comes of
it ? Simply, that as soon as they
have an opportunity, they indulge
their love for fruits and sweets to
excess.
A Beautiful Idea.
Away among the Alleghanles
there is a .spring so small that a
single ox, in a summer's day,
could drain it dry. It steals its
unobtrusive way among the hills
till it spreads out in the beautiful
Ohio. Thence it stretches away a
thousand miles, leaving on its
banks more than a hundred villages
and cities, and many a cultivated
farm, and bearing a half thousand
steamboats. Then joining the Mis
sissippi, it stretches away and away
some twelve hundred miles more,
till it falls into the emblem of eter
nity. It is one of the greatest trib
utaries of the ocean, which, obe
dient only to God, shall roar and
roar till the angel, with one foot on.
the sea and the other on the land,
shall lift up his hand and swear
that time shall be no longer. So
with moral influence. It is a rill
a rivulet a river an ocean and
a3 boundless and fathomless as
eternity.
Human Labor. Human labor
is a thousand little rills that re
plenish the fountain of man's ex
istence. It rends -the rocks asun
der to build the marts of com
merce, it sends its tiny bu power
ful roots into the soi I ;h that the

and replenish and , gladden the
earth; it dives into the darkened

never penetrates, to bring forward
some of the most important neces
saries of modern civilization for

we value the products of labor,
how much more should we esteem
the intelligent agencies by which
they are produced ? ln whatever
sphere of action it may be, labor

A Broken-Hearted Rooster.
Thomas Roach, keeper of a chick
en ranche on the old San Jose road,
purchased several monthsago, a
lot of fine cropple-crowns, which
he kept aloof from his less aristo
cratic fowls in a small yard. The
chief of this family was a large
black bird of an exceedingly haugh
ty disposition. He was monarch
of all he surveyed till about a wreek
since, when Roach procured a white
bird of the same breed and turned
it into the yard of cropple-crowns.
The two male birds immediately
joined in battle, which after a gal
lant display of courage by both
contestants, resulted in the defeat
of the black cropple. The unsuc
cessful bird took its life was no
longer worth possessing since honor
had departed. The bird was seen
trying to kill itself with its own
spurs. Not succeeding it tried to
jam its head under a gate but again
failed. It flew upon a barrel half
filled with rain water, and, care
fully surveying the situation, plung
ed into the cask. Roach ran out
and found the bird with its wings
closely folded to its side, its beak
open, apparently endeavoring to
repress the natural struggles of self
preservation. It was speedily res
cued from its dangerous situation,
but it refused to take any further
interest in life, and after a few days
of mental torture and physical suf
fering it died. San Fraiicisco Bul
letin. Wait and Hope.
This is a world full of trouble,
full of disappointment, as we all
know; but therer is, after all.no
folly so great as that of ceasing to
invite the smiles of hope ; not only
because her smiles are so sweet,
but also because while we live,
there must always be some sorrow
awaiting us. We can no more
stand still in lite than we can turn
back. When we have no desire to
go on, invisible forces are at work
to compel us to do so. There are
things we must do; people we
must meet; events that will ac
crue to us. We cannot believe
that the deeds will all be such as
wre must regret, the events all sor
rowful ones, the new acquaint
ances all enemies. And since we
may do good, and have good done
to us since true harts may meet
ours, though we to-day do not so
much as know that they beat
what may we not hope?
Your home may be cold and dark,
but it is not because the sun does
not shine. It only needs a hand
to open the door, and put aside the
curtain, to let in warmth and light.
Soj any moment the shut doors of
your life may open, and earth's
sunshine fall across your heart.
Wait, and hope ; it is only that the
angel whose missions it is to do
this deed tarries for a little on the
road.
