Ml HOUR OF PERIL.

two individuals, whose birth, educa-

young man, handsome, rich, accom-
plished, talented, and in every way n

the thriving town OF c.. He was
neither brilliant nor particularly pre-
possessing in bis personal appearance,
but he stood we'll in his profession, and
had acquired some property, and es-
tablished for himself one of the finest
and most uneSceptonable characters,
and TO him my heart inclined.
We were married, and returned with
hiln to his pleasant home in c..
Twelve years of conlugal happiness,
such MS seldom falls to the lot of NOR
tails, had passed over our heads, and
two little ones had been given to us, to
mite our hearts more closely, and to
bring fresh joy and sunlight into our
happy, cheerful home. 1t was on an
August afternoon, unusually warm and
sultrv, that was sitting by the open
window of my little parlor, husily ply
ang my needle, Ny children were away
passing the day with a friend. and Mr..
Morgan was ut his office He had in

desperate struggle to free himself. he
was captured. Ny hour of peril was
over. My life had hung as it were by a
thread, and my soul had been fortified
for the emergency, but now came a re-
action. My brain whirled film came
before my eyes, and l fell senseless in
to the arms of my husband.
At last awoke to consciousness, as
if from dream Life and its bless

and from the very depths of my soul 1

Herbert Stanly was taken back to the
asylum from whence he had escaped,
and in few months after completed
his miserable existence.

The Decadence OF England.
From the London Spectator.

There is in this country but one
great political institution left alive, and
that is apparently endeavoring to com
NIT suicide by asphyxia. The throne
as political power is dead; the lords
are dying and if the House of Com
mons loses the respect of the country,
there will be nothing left. Every sign
seems to show that it is fast losing it.
From every part of the empire comes
up fierce complaint that the House OF
Commons attempts to do everything,
will do nothing, and will suffer nobody
else to act. Ireland is in such a rage
at the deadlock of her private bill
legislation, that schemes are seriously
considered for transferring that portion,
at least, Of Irish business back to Duo
lin. We ourselves described last week
the irritation in Scotland at the lmpos-
sibility Of making way for the Scotch
education bill. The English are wait
ing in no pleasant mood for at least a
dozen reforms, not one of which can be
so much as attempted. The country,
weary of the long talk, almost ceases
to expect anything from Parliament,
and concerns itself so little in its pro-
ceedings that the newspapers find any
thing more interesting to their readers
than accurate Parliamentary reports. -
The speeches in the Commons are re-
duced to summary which often makes
them unintelligible, while one-half of
all that occurs in the Lords is not re-
ported at all The threat of resistance
to measures. forcible resistance-as, for
example, to parts OF Mr.. Bruce's hcens-
ing bills frequently heard, and to all
appearance creates no irritation, while
in one-third of the empire county after
county sends up representa-
tive who tells the House of Com
mons that the one passionate desire
As for our other emperor and en-
press-thev of the French-nothing is
to be said save that they quietly pur-
sue the even tenor of their way, and
seem to be more contented and happy
than one would think possible The
Emperor comes to town almost every
day, and one sometimes sees him stroll
ing down the sunny side of Bond street,
or looking out of the bay-window OF
a club house. The other day, accom-
panied by the Prince Imperial, of whom
he is excessively fond, he went to Wool
wich to visit the Royal Arsenal there,
and it is worthy of remark that the
workmen, on his arrival and departure,
shouted themselves hoarse in his hon
or The affection which the working
people here entertain for him, and
which they Aanifest in every possible
way, is one of the most curious facts.
The health of the Emperor is excellent,
and he is growing very stout, The
Empress will shortly make visit to
Spain to see her mother.

From the South Benz und.y Register.

About three months ago man NAM

engineer in one of our large manufac-
turing establishments, lost his wife
with that dread disease consumption.
At the time Of her death he was board
ing on Michigan street but boarding
house is poor place to grleve over
those whom death has snatched away,
and Humphrey was deeply afflicted,
having lost two wives within year,
SO, ut his earnest request, he was al
lowed TO transfer has quarters to the
residence of his latest wlfe's mother,
in the upper portion OF the Third ward.
There are, or rather there We're when
he went there, two daughters of the
family, one about nineteen and the 9th
err sixteen. He had not been there two
months before he proposed to the elder
one, but she Indignantly refused him,
and lectured him soundly on his utter
disregard of his late wife's memory.
Not in the least discomttted, he began
paving attentions to the younger daugh-
ter, but so slyly as not to awaken any

he was going with the younger daugh-

him doing so, and then went to the
cemetery. On returning, Humphrey
and the girl were missing. and did not
return that night The next morning
he made his appearance and demanded
the girls clothes, but refused to tell
where she was. The mother would not
give them up, and he went TO his work,

The SINGER.
Ely JOHN O. NHITTTEr.

Years since Out names TO me before,
Two sisters sought at eve my door;
Two song birds wandering from their nest,
a gray old farmnousef in the West.
Tirnid and young, the elder had
Even then smile too sweetly sad;
The crown OF pain that all must wear
Too early pressed her midnight hair.
Yct ere the Summer eve grew long,
Her modest lips were sweet with song
z memory haunted all her words
OF cloyer-felds and singing birds.
Her dark, diliating eyes expressed
The broad horizons of the west:
Her speech dropped prairie flowers tho gold
Of harry est wheat about her rolled.
Fore-doomed to song she seemed to me;
I queried not with destiny;
/ Knew tho trial and the need,
Yet all the more, said, God speed
what could other than did?
Could I a singing bird FORBID
Deny the wind-stirred leaf? Rebuke
The music Of the forest book?'
She went with mourning from my door,
But left me richer than before:
Thencefor,h | knew her voice Of cheer,
The welcome of her partial ear.
pleasant household word became;
All felt behind the singer stood
4 sweet and gracious womanhOod.
Her life was earnest work, not play;
Hei tired feet climbed weary way;
And even through her lightest strain
We heard an uudertone Of pain.
Unseen Of her her fair fame grew
The good she did she rarely knew,
Unguessed Of her ia life the love
That rained It's tears her grave above.
When last saw her, fun Of peace,
she waited fUr her great release;
And that old friend SO sage and bland,
orr later Franklin held, held her hand.
For All that patriot bosoms giirs
Had moved that goman's heart Of hers,
And men who toiled in storm and sun
Pound her their meet companion.
Our converse from her suffering bed
To heAlthful themes of life she led
The outdoor world Of bud and bloom
And light and sweetness filed her room.
Yet eyormore an underthOugld
OF loss 10 come within us wrought,
And all the while We felt the strain
OF the strong viii that conquered pain.
God giycth quictness at last
The common way that NIL have passed
she went, with mortal yearnEgs fond,
TO fuller life and love beyond.
Fold the rapt soul IN your embrace.
