Of course Martin stood acquitted, but
the excitement which had borne him
through this trying scene once over he
grew pale and faint again. MIR. Symmes
insisted upon accompanying him to the
little house he had prepared for Maggie,
and giving away the bride in the wedding
that followed instantly, leaving the pale
invalid to the care of his loving little
wife.
John Reeves, the thief and would-be

fatal, was discharged, and left for parts

The Rebel Horse.

There is deeper meaning, says Eani-
fy Far, In the following, than strikes the
mind at first. 1t is taken from South
ern paper:
"Some mean thief has stolen President
paviss horse. At this jlncture, such an
act Is nothing less than fendish"
Our special watcher at Richmond saws
he knows who stole Jeff Davis's horse,
but does not think it expedient, at pres
ent, to reveal the name of that person;
who has large family to support, and is
respectable-for rebel Great ingenuity
was displayed in the manner of abstract
ing the horse. which was so highly valued
owing to particular circumstances-by
its owner, that he would not trust it to
the care Of his halfstarved groom, but
took 1t away, some short time since, from
the stable, and kept it In his bed chamber.
The fact is, that the animal was begin
ming to lose flesh, owing to the scarcity of
fodder. Melancholy had marked it for
her own, by putting a SPAWN upon its off
hook, a ringbone around each fore. .fetlock,
and tina. strange, wild music attributed to
horses by the CHEEKY veterinarian, name
ly, thrushes in the hoof and MARBLES on
the back. The creature was not alto
gether free from thoroughpin, nor wsfe
the elbows of its hinder legs entirely
destitute of the excrescential appendages
known as curbs. 1t was blind of both
eyes, and seldom, if ever, has a nobler
animal than the steed of JEFF Davis been
afflicted with worse accession of broken
wind. Bronchial troches were fondly
mixed with its oats for while; but first
the troches failed, then the oats, and then
the horse. 1t went from bad to worse,

forelegs where splints have by the CHEEKY
veterinaIia ian been observed to reyel, hob

hoofs, it wrought no longer hope in the
bosom of its shoemaker. AT last came

forth the stern fiat from Jefferson Davis,
sot-disdnt President of the Bogus Confed-
eracy: "KilI bay Scurry in the field
o-morrow-saddle him no more, but salt
him at once" And even after death, the
noble courser of a hundred skedaddles,

bliny cask, was honored and valued by his
master, for beef was nowhere, and bacon

Select poetrp.
An Invocation to Spring.

Come quickly, thou Spring
Write loves fair alphabet upon the sod
In many colored fowers-to preach of God,
Our everlasting King
Come from the rosy South,
In chariot of incense and of light,
Dissolve the lingring SHOWS that glisten
white
Beneath thy fragrant mouth.
Walk softly DER the earth,
Thou blessed spirit of the Eden time
Thy breath is like an incense laden cline,
Clasping rich bowers of mirth.
Thy virgin herald's here
The snow-drop bares her bosom to the gale,
While down her cheek so delicately pale,
Trickles crystal tear.
The lark now scars above,
AS if he felt thy freedom on his wings,
While from his heaven-attuned throat there
rings
A charming peal of love.
The yet unbearded wheat
Now timidly puts forth its tender leaf
To drink sweet dews, for winter, ancient chief,
Crawls off with firing feet.
Your sorrows now inter,
Ye dwellers in dark cities Spring is nigh
She bathes her garments in sunset sky,
And treads the halls of myrrh.
To God an anthem sing,
When forth ye hurry to the fields of bloom
He lights the flowers, and lifts US from the
tomb,
To everlasting Spring!

T Concluded from last peek. I


At last the long night was over, and
she could start upon her expedition =
John was her polite escort, and left her
at the door of Symmes & Brother, prom
ising to come over liz a "wee bit" to see
if she needed him again.
Through the long store, filled with
bales and boxes of merchandise, the trem-
bling girl threaded her way, looking for
some one to question. At last she reached
the counting house. A tall, handsome,
rather over-dressed young man stepped
down from his high stool to meet her, as
she came timidly forward. Her neat,
quiet dress and rale face, with the timid
manner, gave her an air of interest, and
he spoke to her courteously.
s'You wish to see some one ?"
"Marrin Hayes, If you please, sill"
said Maggie, raising her eyes almost
imploringly.
If she had struck him heavy blow,
the face of the clerk could not have
grown winter. His eyes fairly glarcd
for moment, as he repeated hoarsely,
"Martin Hayes !'
With a new terror, as she marked this
agitation, Maggie cried
"Where is he? He is not dead."
"What is the matter 2" asked gentle
man, opening the door of small private
room leading out of the large counting
house. "Who is this woman 7"
Maggie looked up. a kind, good face,
with the silvered hair of some sixty win
ters. met her eye. He was good and
gentle that was written on his face and
she went as quickly as her trembling
steps would take her, to the new conner.
"Martin Hayes! Oh, sir, where is
he ?"
"I cannot tell you" And the kind
face grew stern and cold. "Who are
you 2"
"Maggie Lee," she said, simply.
"And who," he asked, half smiling, as
he stepped back and took the seat at a
desk in the little room, sis Maggie Lee ?"
"I have just come from England, sir,
to Martin. We were to be married. Oh
tell me, sir, where to find him ~
"This is bad business, bad business"
said Mr.. Symmes, shaking his head.
"There, sit down there. Poor child"
for Maggie's white face quivered with
emotion. 81 am sorry to say that Hayes
has proved bad fellow"
"Martin ~ cried Maggie. the quick,
indignant blood staining her cheek, as
she sprang to her feet.
"Yes; he has disappeared with FIVE
hundred dollars of our. money in his
pocket"
ga thief! Oh, sir, it is impossible
Martin, my Martin thief? 1t must be
false ~ She spoke hurriedly, with Grim
son cheeks and flashing eyes; then, as
she stood facing him, the old mans face
seemed to fade away dimly, the heavy
whir O: the steamers machinery sounded
in her ears, and she fell fainting to the
ground.

The CRoPS-THE EFFECT OF THE SOFT WIN.
TER UPON WHSAr.-lt is feared that the result o
continued soft weather upon the wheat crop will be
I'M urious. Let US see. In tennessee and Northern
Mississippi, where tho average of the Winter, are
just like this one here. good wheat crops are OBJ
tanned more regularly than in our hardfree,ing 70
gion. Ii IS no. soft weather, in Winter that njure,
wheat but freezing and thawDg. or excessive cole
weather without snow. 40 the case now stands.
we do net apPrshend any danger to the wheat crop.
Country papers would do service by publishing
little items like the following from Kansas papsr:
Information from different parts OF the State p
regard to crops is before us. Our Topeka CORES
pondent writes that wheat in Jefferson and Shawnee
Counties generally looks, fair and in some instances
exceedingly fine Northern Members of the Legis.
lature report that in Brown, Nemeha, Doniphsn,
and other counties very little is expeeted while in
some the fields will probably be powed up aud
planted with corn. H. the South great deal has
been sown, and the prospect is far for good crop.
especially in Linn Miami, Lyon and Bourbon Coun
ties From the West we have no intelligence !
We have not seen any wheat fields in this vicinity.
