A writer to IA Chicago paper gives a
hint OF mysterious reality upon which
an ingenious and characteristic romance
might be built. In the year 1892, there
came to beautiful town of Western H.
linols on the banks of the Mississippi,
gentleman named Hazletine, who inform
ed those with whom he became acqualn-
ted that he had left II wife and family III
Vermont, for whom he should send as
soon as II new home III the West WIS
prepared for their reception. Purchas-
ing choice real estate III the town, erect
ing upon it Il fine residence, and enter
ing largely into profitable business, he
was presently ready to be re.olned by
those nearest his heart, and relolced III
the opportunity TO send east Tor them by
IA gentleman about to make n lying visit
thlther. The expected wife and child
rem, however, never came While the
husband and father was eagerly looking
for them every day, III their stead came
IA lottcr whose revelations seem to bow
and blight the recipient like II wltherlug
disease. What the actual tidings were,
Mr.. Huzeltlnes nearest nelghDors and
friends III the West never knew but
from the moment of reading them, he
went about like one broken III every hope
of life. At once selecting il legal agent,
/ he, without IA word uf explanation, con
veyed all his property to his wife, pro-
vided she appeared on the spot to claim
it within fifteen years. Ia the meantime,
the new house was to he rented for the
payment OF taxes and the agents com
mission. Having made this arrange
ment, with as few words ~ possible, the
stricken man peremptoriIy closed his
business in the town, even ut great sac
riiice, and disappeared from the West
Eighteen years have passed, and the
strangely assigned property, now greatly

The Pnresi Pearl.

Reside the church door a-weary and lone,
A blind woman sat on the cold door stone:
Ihs wind was bitter, the SNOW iell fast,
And mocking voice in the Utful blast
seemed ever to echo her mOaDlng cry,
IL sue begged her aims OF the passers-by;
.. Have pity on me, have pity, pray;
Nv back Is bent aud my hair ID gray
The bells were ringing the hour of prayer,
aT,I many good people were gathered there,
I'M covered with furs and nantes warm,
'rl-y hurried past through the wintry storm.
SOME we're hoping their souls to save,
And some we're thinking Of death and the grave,
tnd a.as they had no time to heed
Tur poor soul asking Tor charity's need,
And some were blooming with beauty grace,
put closely mutiled IN wells OF lace;
Iuey saw not the SORROW nor heard not the moan,
Df her who sat on the cold door stone.
At last came one of a noble name,
a, tine city counted the wealthlest dame.
Ana the pearls that o'er her neck were struug
she proudly there to the beggar flung.
Then followed maiden young aud fair
Adorned with clusters of golden hair
Eut her dress was thin, and scanty, aud worn,
Nut even the brggar' seemed more iorlOrn.
WITH fearful look and pityn8 sigh,
