THE GREAr MYSTERY.

The body is to die so much is certain,
What lies beyond? None who passes
the charmed boundary comes back to
tell. The imaainatieu visits the realms
of shadows-seht out from sotne windox
in the soul over life's restless waters, bat
wings it, way YEARLY back, With an olive
Eeaf in its beak as a token Of emerging
life beyond the closely bending horizon.
The great sun comes and goes In the hea-
yens, vet bFeathcs no secret of ths eternal
wilderness the crescent moon eleaves
ber nightly passage across her upper
deep, but losses overheard no messages,
and displays 10 signals. The sentinel
stars challenge eaeh other IS they walk
their nightly rounGs, but we catch no
syllable Of their countersiga whish gives
passage to the heavenly camp. Between
this and the other life Is great gulf fixed
acrossed which neither eye nor foot can
travel. The gentle friend, whose eyes
We closed in their last sleep long years
ago, died with rapture In her wonder
stricken eyes, smiIs Of ineffabIe joy up
on her lips, and hands folded over tri-
umphaut heart, bat her lips weEa passed

An OLD MANS sT0RY OF A WASH
fNGTOS BASTELE


Last week an old man named Bennett
@. Fowler Of Fairhaven, Coma, who had
just beeA released from the Old Capitol
Prison in Washington, arrived in this
City on his way home, and while here,
gave the following sad statement of his
trials and troubles. Last fall be left bis
home TO travel for the benefE Of his
health, which was very poor, and to as
certain in regard to his son, who was
serving in the Federal army. On his ar
rival at Washington for that purpose, be
put up at The Mitchell House. That
night, after be bad retired TO his room,
three men, not in uniform, broke into
his room, and declaring thai they were
United States detectives, pretended 20
arrest him. The drst question they asked
him was, ''Hov much money have you?"
He told them the amount OF bis money,
and they Immediately proceeded to steal
some one hundred and thirty odd dollars.
Two of them then left, and the remaiu+
ing one, without any explanation, exhi-
bition of warrant OF any kind. or sllega-
tion Of charges, took him 10 the Old Cap
itol Prison, and pus him into cell. Mr..
Fowler's baggage was also robbed and
not even shirt vas lsfs him. Days and
weeks passed, and Mr. Fowlez's health,
already delicate, declined rapidly. The
room swarmed With loathes nae vermiB,
which seemed to abound In every thread
Of the miserable old blankets that were
given him for bed. The food be spoke
Of as most horrible. Breakfast consist
ed OF muddy slush called coffee, bat
hardly fl to throw in the gutter, tao or
three little cakes Of hard tack, aud q
small piece Of still fed pork that would
oftentines fall 10 pieces from its own
weight When taken up with the hngeEs. -
Dinner vas composed of something they
called bean soup, With once week q
dish of vegetable soup and lieee of
beef hardly az large rs three fngers.--
Supper was often piece Of bread md
coffee, sometimes piece Of hard tack
with naggots crawling in it. Last ThuFa-
day, through the influence Of some friends
and member Of CoEgrsss, Mr.. Fowler
was released. An oEhesr came to the
prison With an unconditional release from
Assistant Secretary Dana. No questions
were asked him, nor was the oath Of al
legianee rendered, nor the money return
ed which bad been stolen, and be is en-
tirely Ignoranl Of the charges against
fTmS-a4 aRy reason Why be sbonld have
been arrested. lie never heard any rea-
son given. IIe comes from lhs prison
with shattered health "for," said be al
most with the simplicity Of second child
hood, 'that horrible, horrible place has
almost killed me-" Such were the ad-
ventures of an old man, going to the cap
ital Of the United States 20 seek informa-
non Of his son in the Federal army.-Ex.
