er Still Marann always lodged the young
Gypsie when he came 10 the village, and
the children in the street called John a(,

John was also proclaimed a deserter
from military duties, and although
his mother said he was too Short and
had escaped as being under the standard,
yet she well knew that he would not es>
cape punishment on his return, and she
thought that he kept away on this ac>
count. 1t was very singular to hear her
pray in the same breath for the welfare
of her son, and the death of the reigning
prince; for she had been told that when
the reigning prince died, his heir upon ac-
cession to the government would pro-
claim general amnesty for all past of
fences.
The schoolmaster each year presented
the paper to Marann, IN which John was
proclaimed, and she placed it in her
psalm,book; but this year it was well for
Marann that she could not read, for the
teacher gave her another paper instead of
the proper one. The strange report ran
through the whole population of the vil>
lsge, where ever two persons met 1t was
spoken of, and it was said: They tell
Black Marann nothing. 1t would kill her.
This report had came from the minister at
Paris, containing information from AL,
giers and the intelligence passed through
all the higher and lower officers until it
reached the common council: That John
Winkler of IIoldenbrunn had fallen in a
skirmish in Algiers.
ltwas spoken of in the village as some>
thing very wonderful, that so many high
officials should take so much trouble
about John who was dead. But the care
ful transmitted news paused here. AT a
sitting Of the com:nOn council it was re-
solved that Black Marann should not be
told. II would be cruel to embitter the
few remaining years of her life by robbing
her of her last hope.

CHAPTER VIII.
BLACK MARANN.


A woman who leads solitary life, and
bakes and COT ks her own food entirely
alone, is called an 'Eigenbrstlerin.' and
such person usually possesses all kinds
of cxc0niricities. No one was better en-
titled or more inclined to be an 'E;gen-
bratlerin' than Black Siarann, although
she never had anything to bake, for pota,
toes and Cat meal pcrridge were what she
lived on. She was always distracted in
thought and was distant to every one
But towards autumn she was In restless
condition. she was always muttering to
herself, and she would also address people
of her own accord, particularly strangers,
passing through the village; for she wish
ed to be informed whether the masons
had returned home for the winter, and
whether they had any news of her JOHN
When she had boiled and washed the lin
en- she had bleached during the summer,
and continued at this work the whole
night long, she was always talking to her
self. Nothing of what she said could b
distinguished, except this phrase at in>
teryals: THAT is for thee and this for me-
for she made il a practice 10 say twelve
pater>nosters for John, hut on washing
lights they were countless. When the first
snow fell she was always very cheerful
He would certainly come home now as
there was no more work to do. She then
frequntly spoke to q white hen In the
coop, and told her she must be killed
when john came home.
Thus she had done for many years, un.
til the people in the village grew tired Of
telling her: il was foolish to be always
thinking OF Johns return. But it had no
effect, and she thus became more and
more unpopular and disagreeable to them
II was eighteen years this harvest since
John departed, and John AIicheal Wink

zette, and this would continue until, he
was fifty years Of age. He was now in
his thirty-sxth year.

Cease thy pinings, weary spirit,
Courage, heart, tho dark tie way;
There's a star whose light Is beaming,
Pointing 10 the endless day.
Gallant youth, so brave and daring,
Life's fairy scene TO thee;
But thy fragile bark Is floating
On q rough, uncertain sea.
Thorns will grow, clouds will gather
In this shadowy vale of ours.
Sailor. steer thy bark TO Canaan,
To shrine Of living flowers.
Nourner, hush thy sobs of anguish,
Danish doubt, and look above;
See your cross and crown Of glory,
Heaven Is true, and God Is love.
Joyous maiden, life's vapor.
Sweetest roses bloom and die;
Give to God, thy hearts devotion,
Place thy treasures 'bovc the sky.
Child of sorrow, cease thy weeping,
Bethlehems Star of Hope has dawned;
Dresry night is surely waning,
Ushering In glorious morn.
Dying one, oh. look to Jesus,
Breathe farewell to earth and time;
Happy home and loved snes wait thee
In the peerless Eden Cline.

lately. We used to make good

suit of Radical promises, and men
seemed shamed. and hardly one passed
by without dropping penny into the

go by without halt; indeed the

self that Ned must wear old clothes.

Do you s'pose Ned will ever go up
there among the angels? sometimes
think that one-legged soldiers will
have no business in Heaven. At
least, having turned me SO many times
in the last three years, Ned will care
nothing for music. But he's got to
march around with me on his back,
and his old hat there is all the laureis
he's ever received for the loss of his
leg. UG
You're getting tired. Ny! how the
sun comes down! If Ned could only
step in after glass of soda once in a
while, how cool and refreshing it
would be. But five cents would often
drain the box, besides, people don't
want one-lenged soldiers hobbling
around among the gentry.
