rlver, and the young lady stopped the
white horse, SO that Deb could look
across, and up and down, at the shin.
ing stream and the shining bank.
There's so much of it +" said Deb,
softly, thinking of the crack of it that
she had seen between two houses fol
fifteen years in a high chair; and the
long, broad-shouldered, silvered river
seemed to her veiy much like this
world about which she had wondered.
They rode to the mills, and Deb
trembled to look up at their frownine
walls, and to meet their hundred eyes,
for the windows stared like eyes; but
some of the girls who wore the little
pink bows, and who knew her, came
nodding to look down out of them, and
she left off trembling to laugh; then in
a minute she trembled again, for all at
once, without any warning, the grea.
Androscoggin pealed the time just over
her head, and swallowed her up in
sound. She turned pale with delighted
terror, and then she flushed with terri
fed delight.
Did it prayl or cry or laughl Deb
did not know 1t seemed to her that il
the white horse would carry her into
the sound of that bell, she need never
sit in high chair by a window again,
but ride and ride with the young lady.
1t seemed to her like forever and for.
ever.
They turned away from the Andros
coggin without speaking, and rode and
rode. Daylight dimmed and dusk drop
ped, and see! all the town blazed with
lights. Deb could not speak-there
were so many lights
And still she could not speak when
they rode into Brick Alley, and Jim
McMahoney and her mother and the
children who did not wonder came out
to meet her, and take her back to her
high chair.
She was too happy to speak. She
need never wonder any more. She
could remember.
But the young lady did not want her
to speak. She touched her white
horse, and was gone in minute; and
when the Androscoggin rang them both
to sleep that nlght-for the young lady
forgot to ask for her Cluny, and was
too tired to go to the party-I am sure
cannot tell which was the happier.
she or Deb. Androscoggin did not
trouble himself to find out All he said
was, Forever and forever. Deb knows.
She heard him. She had no need to
wonder about him any more. She m
derstood.
And this is all l have to tell. Vheth

again or whether she didn't-this is all

to have to tell, but when it was told to
me, thought it was the sweetest, sad
dest, tenderest little thing in the world.

The Death Of Alice Cary.

The announcement of the death of
Alice Cary will be read everywhere
with regret. This gifted woman was a
native of Ohio, but came with her
younger sister Phoebe, many years ago,
to this city, where the two have ever
since had their abode. Their first ap-
pearance in authorship was made con-
jointly in book of poems, which was
well received, and was followed by a
series of prose sketches by Alice, en-
titled "The Clover-nook Papers, /"
which established for her an individual
reputation. Since that time her con-
tributions to current literature have
been frequent and various. Novels,
sketches, poems and essays have attest
ed the versatility of her genius and the
hold she had upon the public favor.
All that she wrote was graceful and
pure, and it might be said of her with
strict regard to truth, In the hackneyed
line of Lord Lyttleton, that she left
behind her
s'No line which, dying, she night wish TO blot"
For many years the two sisters have
been the centre of literary circle
which gathered informally at their Sun
day evening tea parties, where the books
and topics of the day were pleasantly
discussed. Alice Cary's health had
long been failing, and the last summer
was spent by her in Vermont in the hope
that she might regain her strength, but
at the beginning of the winter it be-
came apparent to her friends that she
could not long survive. She bore her
long and painful illness with perfect
submission. Miss Cary died in the
fiftieth year of her age.

Frightful Indian Massacre i'm Texas.

In December gentleman at settle
ment on the northern border of Texas,
called Montague, wrote the following
lily at that place:
"Last Friday with a couple of com
panions 1 started from the pleasant lit
tie village of Decatur to this place
about two o'clock p. m. We logged
along until about one hour after night.
when we arrived at the residence of
William Freeman, an old pioneer, where
we spent cheerful night, and again
pursued our journey.
We had not travelled further than a
mile, when we received the sad intelli-
gence that family had been massacred
about two miles above We hastened
on to the place of the awful tragedy
and may God forbid that nv ewes
should ever again look upon such an
other scene as | there witnessed. The
or ten years old, about forty yards from
the house, stone dead. His left arm
was cut out from his body, exhibiting
to full view his heart and lungs; his
bowels cut out, and then scalped.
We then repaired to the house, and
the first victim that met our gaze, near
beside the entrance, was girl of nine
or ten years old wrapped, or rather
tumbled, in mass of old bedding, &C.,
with one naked hand and arm elevated.
l took hold of her hand, but to find that
she too was dead and wounded in sew
eral places. Next was a lady, some
sixty years of age, by the name OF
keenan,, shot through her breast with
two arrows that passed through her
body, suffering all that humanity could
suffer. Her scalp was taken off, too.
Next was lovely little girl, three
years old, nursing babe; and when il
was taken from her arms, the poor child
said she "did not want Dolly to
starve" On examination it was found
that she (the little girl had been lane
ed through the breast, the weapon en-.
tering on the left and passing through
the right. Near by her was anothe,
girl about ten years of age, with hel
head beaten and bruised in a most bru-
tai manner, stiff and cold, almost fife
less. The Indians had beaten her head
until she was probably thought to be
ucdt, duu pitcucQ ncI Out al tuc VIII
dow, where she had lain all night in 9
senseless condition. Then we turned
to little boy calling for water-he was
lanced, the wound entering above the
breast bone and passing out below.
The next and last was Mrs Pascha,
laying beside the bed on her face, welt
ering in gore. On examination she wal
found to be dead, with several wounds
that had been inflicted in different por
tions of the body. One little boy was
lanced in the breast, who made Lis
escape during the night, and after day
light made his way to neighbor',
house about one mile Off Two little
children were left in the bed unhurt
One of the wounded has since died
This leaves four dead and four wound
ed; two of the wounded will probably
recover. Mrs. Keener says there were
eight or nine Indians that entered tn,
house about two hours after night
after they had retired for the night-ant
committed this brutal massacre. Their,
were no men about the place. The deat
were promptly buried in as decent
manner as possible, and the wounded
moved to where they could be cared for

The Toughest Yarn Yet.

A fight between rat and couple of
snakes occurred at McKeesport, Ohio,
last week. The snakes, not having been
fed for several days, were first present
ed with mouse, when both reptiles
attacked, killing it in thirteen minutes.
A large rat was then put into the cage,
when a terrible battle ensued, both
snakes striking as rapidly as possible,
the rat also displaying considerable
pluck, keeping up his end of the fight
bravely. The fight continued from two
o'clock in the afternoon until nine at
night, when the copperhead threw up
the sponge and was taken out dead.
To prevent the rattlesnake from sharing
q like fate, the rat was then removed
from the cage. The rat showed consider
able generalship in the encounter, and
every time it was bitten it would retire
TO the corner of the cage and bite out
the piece from its body.

OF the general effect upon the mascu-

and flowers" we have life long proofs
from the first crumpled motto that the
awkward schoolboy crushes daringly
into the scarcely opened hand" The
rose is red, the violet's blue; the pink
is sweet and so are you"-to the impas-
stoned words of the poet that steals
into the worlds heart
Here has fallen q splendid tear
From the passion flower at the gate.
She is coming, my dove, my dear!
She is coming, my life, my fate!
The red rose cries, She Is near, she is near ~
And the white rose weeps, " She is late :"
The larkspur listens, " hear, hear"
And the lily whispers, wait"
She is coming, my dear, my sweet
Were 1t ever so air. tread,
Ny heart would hea- her and beat;
Were it earth In earthly bed,
My dust would huar her and beat:
Had lain for Q century dead
Would start and tremble under her feet
and blossom in purple and red -tFAscHos.

The southeastern portion of
Kansas, and in fact all of that
section of country lying tribu-
tary to Kansas City, Leaven-
worth, Lawrence and Topeka,
has received the largest portion
of the immigration which has
been constantly flowing into
Kansas during the last three
years; but this does not prove
that the lands are better or
cheaper than in the central or
northwestern portion of the
State, but that a more system
attic and persistent effort is con-
stantly being made to turn the
tide Of emigration in that di-

Trouble in Duluth.

Everything is not lovely in
the city ofDuluth-metropol
of the Northwest-if we may
credit the following from the
Morning Call, published there
by Seth Wilbur Paine, the
walkist. He says;
The fact of the whole mat.
ter is this A few men own
Duluth. They have taken into
their ring a few outsiders to
help them run the machine
Their purposes and plans are
to sell out the town, pocket the
money and leave. For their
success they rely wholly upon
false representations and lying
reports of Duluth. Not being
able to send out sufficient lies
by the way of letters, circulars
and correspondents, they have
paid for and brought into ser.
vice three putting machines, :"
otherwise knownas newspapers,
on which they depend largely
to circulate their false repre-.
sentations. The whole and
only business of these machines
is to send out lying puffs of
Duluth, and in every possible
way help the sharks to swim,
die the people. Every new,
conner must pay tribute to the
ring. If they have no money,
they may act pimps and help
ring in those who have. AS
we have stated several times
before, there is nothing at pres
ent of Duluth outside or this
ring ofsharks. The town thus
far has been built upon lies.--
Hundreds of innocent and un-
suspecting persons have been
financially ruined. Families
have been broken up. Starva.
tion has been brought to the
door of many a household
There are today fifty families
in the city of Duluth sick for
the want of bread. If there be
any who doubt our statements,
or who attribute to us any
mercenary motives in speaking
thus plainly, let them come
and see for themselves. They
will find here what the sharks
claim to be a population of
from four to six thousand, and
without work or business to
support a village of three hun
dred persons. These are TIE
facts as they now exist. When
there comes change we shall
be the first to make it public.
