HAPPINESS.
BY n. J. MILLER.

"There comes
Forever something between Us and
what
We deem our happiness"
We look beyond and there before our
An olject that we wish to grasp is
seen,
But Just as we are reaching for the
prize,
Some other hand than ours has come
between.
And so it is through life, there's some
thing new,
To blight our brightest hopes of peace
But thorns are mingled with the fow-
ers, too,
And there's no gold that has not
some alloy.
True happiness is seldom found on
earth,
That, like true friendship, is thing
most rare;
The first without contentment has no
birth,
And friendship dies, if envy claims a
share;
And yet if we would raise our minds
above
The petty cares, that vex and trouble
here,
And be content to seek "the perfect
which easteth out from every soul a
fear.
Then, we would know that even here
below,
There is some happiness for all who
find
"The paarI of greater price," which
will bestoW
Forbearance, love and peace to all
mankind
'Tis thus we should secure a happy
heart,
With holy thoughts and aims to
guide Alright
Each action, though it bear so small a
part,
Twill serve to make our earthly life
more bright;
But this is but changing life at best,
We're but sojOurners waiting at the
gate,
To enter that calm haven of the blest,
And find, with joy, We are not there
too late.

Strange StOry of an Escaped Con
vict


Three years ago, w. F. Hewitt
was sentenced to five years impris-
onment in the penitenTiary, for rob
bing w. j. Weakley's store, in
Edgeiicl.l, of a large amount Of
goods. His health was bad and he
was put at light work in the shoe
shop of the prison. After serving
two years and four months, he and
another convict named Smith sue
ceedcd in scaling the walls at night
and making their escape. They
both went to Louisville, where
Smith was recaptured. Hewitt sub
sequently committed q theft in that
city and was sent to the Kentucky
penitcntiaiy, from which he was
discharged n short time ago. Help
less from a complication of diseases,
without friends or money, and con
vinced that he would be hunted up
aLO brought back to serve out his
time here, he chose the desperate al
tentative of surrendering himself
His mother, who resides in Edge
field, was startled last Monday night
by his entering the house and an
nOuncing that he was ready to go
back to prison, if the authorities so
decided He presented a most dis
tressing spectacle, and his mother
determined upon an effort ta secure
his pardon. She sent a friend to
Gov. Brown on Tuesday with ali
earnest appeal in behalfOf her son,
hut the case was one into which con
siderations of Executive clemencY
could net possibly enter. As Hew
litt was an escaped convict, pardon
was out of the question, and so Gov.
Brown intimated, kindly, but firmly
The mother had high sense Of her
duty in the matter, and requested
that no officer of the law be sent az
ter her son, pledging that the State
should be put to no expense on his
account, and that he should be de-
hvered at the prison yesterday. She
kept her word. Yesterday morning,
she called at the Capital in q car
riage, the son sitting ~ her side.
After a last appeal to the Governor
which could be answered only as
before-she drove, broken-hearted
70 the penitentiary and delivered the
prisoner to Warden Chumbiey.
The episode is one of the most
singular in our criminal annals. Ne
yer before we believe, did mother
snakesuch sacrifice, or make it more
nobly.- Banner.

Ten Hand nnlians

Those people who are interested
in hard money will perhaps lie prof
tied bv reading the following story
from the Christian Weekly, by DIR.
Spaudling:
My father was q poor man. A
large and growing family was de
pendent ON him for its daily bread.
Coming home one wintl.y evening
from a weeks toll in a neighbOring
town with ten hard-eurned dullars in
his pocket. he lost them in a light
snow. Long and fruibless was the
search tor them. Aiterthe SNOW was
gone, again and again N-Ns the search
renewed, With the same Eesult. The
snow fell and melted again for a
fhnle generation, and still the story
Of the lost dollars MAS fresh in our
fan ily circle; for alsilVer dollar to a
poor laaA in those days was larger
than a ful Inoons ra 81 bss
About a mile away lived another
father of a family in similar eucum
stances. lie, tooeknew hoaT much a
dollar cost ding ont OF tile heart Of a
rocky farm. AT least once OrufteneF
every week for forty years he had
occasisn 10 pass our door, giving
and receiving the common neighbOr
" salutations, and every time with a
weight increasingly heavy on his
conscience. But AL such pressure
has its limit; and when that is reach
ed the crash is the greater for the
severity of the strain. IN this in
stance it WAS as when an old oak
fends its body and breaks its limbs
in falling.
''One day, completely broke down,
he came to my father in tears, con-
fesslng.-"I found your dollars lost
in the snow forty years ago. They
have been hard dollars to me, and
can carry them no longer / am
come to return them and ask your
forgiveness, and as soon as ! can |
will pay you the interest"
The scene was like that when ia
cob and Esau met over the ford
Jahhok.
He did not live long enough to
pay the interest, but quite long
enough to furnish a practical COM
ment on the test: "rhe spirit of a
man will sustain his infrmity, but a
wouaded spirit, who can bearT'-
Who will say that conscience,
though slumbering in this life, will
never awake to punish the offender
in the life to Conner
II any man wants hard money, let
him getit dishonesty, and he will
find it the hardest money that lac CIV
er saw-hard to keep, hard to think
of, and hard to answer for in the
judgement day.
