OVER THE BARS.

Twas milking time, aid the cows came tip
From the meadows sweet with clover,
And stood in the lane, while pretty J. ane
Had quiet chat with the drover-
Such a quiet chat that it scarcely seemed
That single word was spoken
While magic spell with the night de@s fell,
And the rhymth of song was unbroken.
The cattle stood at the lovers side,
Without any show of vetation,
As though impressed that a five-bar rest
Was a part OF their rest grafton.
And as Jane listened to notes that came
Right under the bars and over,
Her heart took wing, like silly thing,
And nestled up close to the drover.
She heard him say that his home was poor,
That he had nothing but love to give her
And she smiled content, as though Love had
spent
Every arrow he had in his puiver;
She smiled content, while the evening air
With voices of birds was ringing,
And her lips confessed that lowly nest
Should never prevent her singing.
So over the bars the lovers lean,
In the Joy of their sweet communion,
And their looks declare that poverty ne'er
Shall be bar to their union
q, sweetest music, go thread your hymes
Now under the bars and overl
Where pretty Jane, in the fragrant lane,
Bewitched the heart of the drover.

And there wasn't sign of that Alderman
or that old iron foundry left on the face
of the earth; and as for young Jacob
Blivens, he never got chance to make
his last dying speech after all his trouble
fixing it up, unless he made it to the
birds, because. although the bulk of him
came down all right In tree>top in an
adjoining county, the rest of him was ap-
portioned around four townships, and so
they had to bold FIVE inquests on him TO
find out whether he was dead or not, and
how it occurred. You never saw boy
scattered so.
Thus perished the little boy who did
the best he could, but didn't come out
according to the books. Every boy who
did as he did prospered except him. HIS
case is truly remarkable. 1t will proba-
lily never be accounted for.-The Galaxy

from my lips, and echoed wildly In
The forest without. My heart stood still
with fear, for doubted not that the next
time the brute leaped 1t would be snccess-
ful, and 1 should be completely at its
mercy.
1t turned again with fierce growl of
disappointment, and prepared for another
spring crowded myself up into the low
roof as far as possible, and waited tor it's
coming. With a mighty spring the brute
came on, and this time 1t was more sues
cessful than before. 1t caught one of its
huge paws upon the pole upon which
rested, and in moment 1t snapped in
twain, letting both of us down together.

without the slightest weapon of defence
against the monster Already I seemed
to feel its teeth and claws in MY flesh,
and closed my eyes as thought forever
on the scenes of this world. The huge
monster stood over me, ard could feel its
hot breath upon my face. One paw was
laid upon my breast, and each moment
expected 10 feel lis teeth in my thr,at.
Suddenly there was tramp of hurried
feet outside, end the sound of human
voices. With wild hope that l might
yet be saved, shouted for help at the top
of my voice. An answer came back close
at hand. The brute heard ii, and sprang
over me out through the doorway. The
next moment there was the report of rife
followed by howl of pain, and then the
form of a man sprang into the cabin.
"Who is here?" be cried, as he felt
about In the darkness.

from the effect of my sudden descent from

the money in court.

he and the trunk were placed in one ante
room and Mr.. Rawlins in another.
In few minutes he or Rawlins, no one
knew which 1t was, took his place in the
box, and the Judge ordered the Sheriff
to summon the Cashier, which he did.
He now came in.

''Before passing sentence upon this

Here the prisoner suddenly twitched
the whiskers from his face, threw off his

on the floor, and was carried out of the

A NICE little boy in Pittsburgh went
TO the circus the other day, and amused
himself by throwing stones at the elephant
while he was drinking. When he got
through the boy tried to propitiate hlm
by offering him piece of gingerbread
Before accepting the cake the elephant
ernptied over the boy about sixty four
gallons of water, beer measure. and then
slung him into the third tier to dry off -
This boy is very indifferent about circuses

ARRAIGNED FOR FORGERY

There lived in the city of P, in
the State Of Pennsylvania, a gentleman
on the shady side of sixty, who had by
industry and economy, arnassed a large
competence, sustaining in all the work of
life a character above suspicion. He
was the head of fine family, and noted
for his eccentricities and his peculiar style
of dress. He was stoop shocldered, limp
ed a little, and for about ten years pres
viuus to the scene about to be narrated,
wore a coat that had turned red with age.
Ii was the middle Of the afternoon of
cloudy, dismal day in March, when an
old man entered one of the banks in the
city named, and presented 2 check for
payment. The cashier took It and paid
over to the man $4,000, and he descend
ed the steps to the street
In less than five minutes after he had
left, the check was discovered 10 be a for-
gerry. The proper authorities were inn
mediately notified by the CASHIER who
gave them description of the person, and
rigid search was Immediately commenced.
In about half an hour afterward, an officer
entered the bank with man answering
the descrip ion, and presenting him to the
cashier, asked him if that was the man.
''That is the man | cannot be mis-
