elopement. Mr.. Judson had made all
necessary preparations, and he had
told Mary that he was going into the
city on the early morning train, to be
gone all day, and he had written an
explanatory letter to be left on the
table OH the morning of the fifth, and
he had retired to his room, there to
pack his valise, which, being soon done,
he undressed and got into bed.
Now the night of the fourth of
August was excessive warm. To be
plain about the m utter, it was decided

about as hot as Tophet, but 1 won't

A silver chorused matin-
A liquid fret-work in crotchet

And then to turn and raise the load
With weary shoulders bending.
And take the old. weIl-beaten rod
That lcads-unto the ending.
