A MORMON LOVE STORY.

Miss Laura Claire, the beautiful
daughter of Professor Ignaz Claire,
the astronomer, has, it has been well
known for some time, been engaged
to Mr.. Alfred Vivian, the young writer.
author OF "Hell and Heaven-W hich
will you Have?1 "Think and Repent.
"Prayer for the Sinners" and other
beautiful tracts, which have given him
quite reputation; but for some rea-
son or other it has been suspected
that there was coolness between
them. Still Miss Claire loved him
devotedly and the preparations for the
wedding were going on. .a}
In the meanwhile Mr.. Joseph Nor
ton, a young gent of this city. had
fallen desperately in love with Miss
Claire, and refused to be denied adj
mittance to the house. although Pro-
fessor Claire had several times ordered
him out. He, when thus treated, de-
clared mysteriously that he knew GER
tain secrets about Miss Claire, and ii
she did not marry him he would re-
peat them. He demanded to see her
alone. This she finally consented to,
and after long interview, he depart
ed, stating he would return the next
day. To this she smiled, and said,
sYes, shall always be glad to see
YOU" e<
These words were repeated by one
of the servants to Mr.. Vivian when ne
came that evening, and he asked his
affianced what they meant. She said.
.sNothing. After a while he said,
ssDo Won love this MortonY Miss
Clarie laughed and said, Don't be .
fool, Alfred" ..Then you refuse to
answer" he said. She frowned---
"You know love you, she answered :
"and if you ask me any more shall
be angry" Mr.. Vivian left shortly af-
ter. appearing much dIspleased.
The next morning Mr.. Morton came.
The servants noticed that Miss Claire
was deadly pale, but she received him
quite cordially. "You must have
some wine," she said. s'Of course,
| he replied, with you" He took a
glass and drank it. Shortly after he
departed, hut before he walked three
blocks he fell TO the ground, and was
picked up dead, A posi- naortem re-
yealed that he had been poisoned
Miss Claire was arrested. She sent
for Vivian. @Do you believe me gull
tv?" she asked. "I have nothing to
say" he replied; Il am, and have
been for q month, engaged to be mar
ried TO a CAV lady in this city, and II
is not right that I should be seen with
you"
The Young lady uttered a piercing
scream. '.Oh, Alfred" she shrieked,
..I did it for your sake-I loved you
he could have prevented our Marriage
oh. Alfred do not desert me-sase
mep' Mr.. Vivian tore himself away.
and would have quit the cell when
Miss Claire placed herself with her
back against the door. Look, sac
said: and before he could prevent It,
she had drawn a dagger, and staboane
herself, fell dying at his feet. I for,
give you, I love" she murmured' ana
her ewes closed forever.

With burden trudge along.
Her face was sweet. and patient s.ill,
Amid the jostling throng;
Slowly. but eheerfuliy. she moved,
Guarding with watehiul care
A market basket much too large
For her slight hands to bear.
A man I'd thought gentleman,

A Sad AIishap.

The following story from the Abend-
Aeitung, the Geman evening paper of Chi
cago deserves translation. It says:-It
was small but merry company that met
on Tuesday evening at our friend Ken
kofs, under the Sherman House. Bottle

exhalted. But finally came o reaction, a

four departed. This quartette had "f fit"
so nobly that the field was literally strewn
with their bodies, and aid was required to
get them home. Accordingly the proprie-
tor called carriage from the stand, oppo-
site the way, and with difficulty deposited
customer in each corner. He then tur
ned to the driver and instructed him as
follows
' Dis one in de left corner drive to No.
Randolph street, Dis one in de

front on Union street, near the Baptist
church. You must take him up de stairs.
and tell his wife not to fight NIT him.
Dat leetle feller in the back seat take to
Milwaukee Avenue, by Schultze's, next
the Odd Fellows Hall, and dc odd er one

The driver, with an "all right"
slammed the door of the carriage, mount
ed his seat, and was off.
Mr.. Kenkel and his "Joe" set things to
rights in the place, and in about twenty
minutes were ready to close the saloon,
when the identical carriage again halted
before the door.
Whats the matter ?" inquired the pro-
orietor.

SOMETHING COMING.
Column OF Magnetic Light from the suu
stretching ont towards the Earth.

The Suns atmosphere, say the scientific
men, is in highly excited condition. A
column of magnetic light is shooting out
further and further from the solar sphere.
and it is now stretching out 45. 900. 600
OF miles; In other words, it has accom-
pllshed half the distance between us and
the sun! The interesting question. and
one on which perhaps we do not wish any
more light of this character, is, how LONG
Will 1t be before it finishes the rest of the
distance and bridges the gigantic chasm
between the earth and the sun /? Is it a
messenger sent out to snatch us up as food
Tor the insatiate monster that keeps him

hre- eating propensities this whole earth
would satisfy for few days only? ESQ.
now long will this emissary be in reach

1t were gigantic lump of coal for fur
mace This column of light at intervals
indicates its approach by flashing and cor
ruscating with fresh brilliancy So deci-
dcd are its effects, that two astronomers

light will have got near enough to us to

AN IRIsHMAN's IDEA OF AMERICA.
One of the best definitions of an Irishman's s
idea of America that we ever saw, is con-
tanned in the following extract from the
Fairy Circle. tale of John Brougham's
Irish Echoes:
Where did 'baccy come from, Corney?'
inquired Mary.
why, from 'Mereky. where else" he
replied. THAT sent us the first petaty.
Long life to It, for both, say l."
What sort of a place is that, / wonder?"
"Meriky, is it? They tell me it's mighty
sizable. Moll, darlin', I'm told you might
rowl England through it, an would hardly
make dint in the ground there's fresh
water ocean inside Of it that YOU might
d'hround Ireland in. and save Father Mat
thew wonderful sight Of throuble; an as
for Scotland, you might stick it in corner
Of one of their forests. an you'd never be
able to find it. exceptin' it might be by the
smell of whiskey. II / had only thrifle

The Oldest of the worlds old stories.
No fairer fate can e'er befall
poet than to sing thy glories.
And, as Anacreon contest,
In verses full of power and passion.
His Tyre would always praise love best,
The world has followed in the fashion.
Old Horace in the classic DAYS,
Sang sweetest of loves fatal sorrow
Catullus wrote an ode in praise
Of Lesbia, and her pretty sparrow;
Beranger sang to his Lisette;
And Burns to Mary brimmed the chalice
There's lovely Beatrice-Dantes pet;
The Laureate's Adeline, and Alice.
And still to love the Tyre is strung,
Stlll Eros rules our modern measures:
There's not a maidens name unsune.
No phase of Loves eternal pleasures.
Love beckons in the painters dream,
Makes music in the poets metre,
Ger youth and age he rules supreme:
Can any other e'er be sweeter?
And still the songs of all the world
Shall celebrate Loves endless blisscs.
While on neck tress is curled,
And while u red lip pouts for kisses,
In verse, by any poet planned,

And on the page OF life writes "Finis."
