A Moment of Horror.

For twenty-tbree years old Jake Will
lard has cultivated the soil OF Baldwin
county and drawn therefrom support for
self and wife. He is childless. Not long
since Jake left the house in search of a
missing cow. His course lay through an
old worn. out patch of clay land of about
six acres in length, in the center Of which
was a well, twenty-five or thirty feet
deep. that at sometime, probably, had
furnished the inmates of dilapidated
house near by with water. In passing by
this spot an il! wind drifted Jake's tile''

to catch the hat with moose, he conclud-

the well himself To accomplish this, he

well.

Ned Wells was in the dilapidated old
building aforesaid, and that an old blind
horse, with bell on his neck, who had
been turned out to die, was lazily gra-

AN ANGEL.
BY MARY A. DENISoN.

The little child lifted its eyes in dumb
amazement. 1t knew not why it was
struck-harshly spoken to, and denied
the caresses of love. 1t did re member a
time, young as it was. when loving arms
enfolded it. To be thrust forth now in
to the cold and storm, to be clothed in
rags, to be fed upon mouldy crusts, was q
new and terrible experience. And the
little pauper boy sat down on the curb
stone, and tried 10 think. His feet wers
bare, red, and cold, but never mind that
the chill air penetrated his ragged
garments = but never mind that-he
wanted to think. Who were these peo.
Pile passing him, looking so warm and
comfortable? What did it mean that
thsy should be happy and cheerful, and
he SO std?-None of them had such hap
|py hearts, that he was sure of. He
looked up into the cold blue sky. Wha,
was it--and who lived there? Somebody
had said once that God would take care
Of him. Where was God? Why didn'i
he take care of him? o! If he could only
see God for one little minute, or the angel
that the good man told him OF when bis
mother died ! Did folks ever see God?
did they ever see angels?
An organ-g grinder came near and took
his stand. The melody he played light
ened the little boys heart somewhat, bu,
it didn't warm hint didn't make him
less hungry. He kept shivering in spite
of the music, and he felt so alone! 81
despairing! Then the grinder
passed away-and the people kept throng
ing by-they never needed the littl
child sitting on the b-stone, they ha,
SO many things to think Of. The car

"Dear God am in heaven murmur-
ed the child-"yes, God will take care of

What vision of loveliness glanced forth
from the shadow behind the bed. The
rich curls fell all around face OF exquis
lite beauty. the bear,ing eyes looked love
and gladness upon him.
90! yes-and that is n angel, "he said

"Heaven--no, darling, it is earth--but

very happy with her. Kiss him, Mel

Her rosy lips touched his pale ones,

The past was not forgotten, but it was

When the sunbcams shine and the free winds
heross the fertile plain,
With suubrowned cheek goes the farmer forth
To scatter the yellow grain;
Sowing the seed that. blessed by dews
And cheered by the smiling sun,
Shall clothe the fields with golden garb
Ere the summer days be done.
Shall waken the millwheel'e CHEEKY claek,
And spread the swelling sail
That speeds with its freight of human food
Before the favoring gale;
Shall feed the myriad streams of life,
The wheels of Commerce speed.
And make thousand bless the day
When tie farmer sowod the seed
Unframed by the breeze, in a silent room,
EWhere sunbeams rarely fall,
There's another sower busy at work,
Though shut in by the roof and wall.
Be the weather foul or the weather fair.
To this sower it matters not,
For the grain he scatters are leaden types,
| And his field is the field of Thought.
He sows the seed of the Good and True,
| And though the storm may pour,
The Lightning Hash of Malice scorch,
Or Falls hoods thunder roar
Though stump and rock be scattered found,
And weeds possess the soil,
The crop will grow and the harvest come
To reward the laborer's toll
He sows the seed of Human rights,
And though years may first be past,
The germ will quicken, and bursting its tomb
Spring into life at last
The tyrant's heel may crush the soil,
And bayonets pierce the sod,
But the field is watered with hopeful tears,
And warmed by the smile of God
He sows the seed Of purer Faith,
And Supersttion's clod
Is shattered to dust by the piercing graia
That atupward points to God.
The stems grow; strong and the head fills out
Needless of tempest strife,
And million fainting souls are fed
With the saving Bread of Life.
He sows the seed Bile sed Peace
Mid steal, and fire, and blood,
Planting the grains with trustful heart,
Even where the cannon stood;
Dropping them into the gaping rift.
Plowed by the death-winged ball,
Scattering them with lavish hand
Over the frowing wall.
Moistened by the blood of the brave who fell,
And tears by the living shed,
The quickning seed sends up its shoots,
Hiding tho CORY dead,
Twining around the rusty gun,
Smoothing the rugged scene,
Clothing the walls of suen stone
With mantle of living green.
Where Vice and Ignorance faint the air
This sower takes his stand,
And the seeds Of knowledge, STEPPED in Love
He scatters with lavish hand
Barren the soil and rough with thorns,
But the plant shoots up to light;
knowledge thrives, whilst Tgnorence dies,
Aud wrong gives place to Right.
BY night, by day, on land on sea,
He scatters the precious grain;
Trusting to God for the smiling sun
And the quickening kiss of rain.
Be the wealth er foul or be the weather fair,
To this sower it matters not,
For the grain he scatters are leadsn types,
And his field is the field of Thought.
