Keep the Gate Shut.

At Engliih farmer was one day at
work in bis fields, when ne saw parry
of hun,smcn riding about his farm. lie
had one field which he was specially
anxious they should not ride over, a.
the crop was in u condition to be aily
injured by the tramp Of horses. 81 ho
dispatched one of his wprknen to thjS
field, telling him TO shut the gate, AMI
then keep watch over it, AMI Oh no

boy went as he was biddcu; but was
scarcely at bis post before the hunters
came up, peremp,orily ordering tho
gate TO be opened. This tho boy de-

commanding tones: Ny boy, do yod

ton, one not accustomed TO be disobeyel
and command YOU to open that gate,
that aud my friends may pass through.
The boy lifted hi, cap, and stool nn'

trmly: II am sure the Duke OF Well
lington would not wish me t. dis sJbey
orders must keep this gate shut,
nor suffer any one to pass but with

Greatly pleased, the sturdy old warrior

The vine ana tho Violet.

4 vine and violet side by side,
Grew up by the gardner's cottage wall :
The vine spread forth in her beauty and
pride.
And her twining tendrils were over all
While hardly daring TO lift up her eyes.
Half hidden. the violet bloomcd alone.
And wondered in innocent mete surprise,
That her queenly ncigbbor so great had
grown.
But the vine said, elder to tarry there,
Where only the bug and the beetle drum,
Is folly; but climb to the sunlt air.
Where the the birds anu butterflies dane
ing come.

You will shrink when the master comes

When ! from my glorious height will bend,
And my royal iruitagc before him lay
But 10 when thE lord Of the manor came,
lie, leaving tho vine that had grown sd
tall,
The violet tcnderly bore away,
To bloom ia his beautiful castle hall.
o! truly the Master judges Alright,
When, passing US over who boast our
worth,
lie blcsses the lowly ones bid from sight
The silent doers-the ueek OF earth.

A SCENE cot ut.

| shall never forget my first vision
OF William Denton. IL was 10 the
court-h)usc ut Lit,le-Rock, Arkansas,
in the summer Of 1884. The COCA
sion itself possessed terrible interest,
we'll calculated 10 fix ia the memory
all its circumstances. A vast con-
course of spectators had assembled to
witness the trial Of young aud very
beautiful girl on an ind ictment for
murder. Tho Jude &C waited at the
moment for the sheriff 20 bring in his
prisoner, aud he eyes of the impa-
tieut multitude eagerly watched the
door for the expected advent, when
suddenly stranger entered, whose
remarkable appearance rivitcd uni
versal attention. Here is his por.
trait done as accurately rs pen can
sketch it.
A figure tall, lean, sin cwy aud
straight as au arrow brow massive
soaring, and smooth as polished
marble, interscctcd by large blue
vein forked like tho tongue Of scr.
pent eyes reddish yellow, resembling
a wrathful cagle's-as brilliant, as
fearfully piercing and finally, 4
mouth slight, cold and sneering-the
living embodiment Of unbreathed
cures He was habited in leather,
ornamcnted, after the fashion Of In-
dad costume, with beads Of overy
color of tho rainbow.

slowly through the throug. and seem
ingly altogether unconscious that he
was regarded as a phenomenon that
that needed explanation, the singular
being advanced, and, with tho baugh-
ty air of a king taking his throne,
seated himself within the bar, crowd
ed as il was with the disciples Of Coke
and Blackstone, several whom, IL was
known, esteemed themselves far su,
perior to those old aud famous mas
ters. 81.
The contrast between the disdain-
ful countenauce and outlandish garb
Of the stranger excited especially the
risibility of the lawyers, and the ju-
uior members, began u suppressed tit

around tho circle. They doubtless
supposed the intruder to bo some
wild hunter Of the mountains, who
had never before seen the interior Of

Romance In Real Life.

The romance in real life,' known
rs the celebrated Tichborne case'
which has been running in the EIg-
Iish courts for so long time, has had
u sudden but not altogether unex-
pected denoucment. The man, Ar
thu Orton, who claimed to DO Roger
Tichborne aul heir to tn, immense
estates Of that family, has abandoned
his cause, an act which has led to his
arrest for purjury. This cause celebrc
has attracted world wide attention
involving, as it did, baronetcy and
an annual rent roll Of Elj1,000. The
evidence at first was very contradic-
tory, but lattcrly it all assumed one
color, and that agains. the pretcnder.
The particulars Of the case are these:
Roger Charles Tichborne wa, q young
English gentleman, whose mother was
a French lady with whom he lived in
France until his fifteenth year, Then
he was placed in the Jesuit College
at Slouvhurst. and several years after
procured commission in cavalry
regiment lie unfortunately fell 10
love with his cousin, but bor father
sbjecting to this proceeding, be left
the service aud the country aod went
abroad but tho vessel he sailed 10
was never heard from. His mother
coud not believe that her son was
dead, and advertised for in,elli ligeuce
concerning him. After years Of wait
log, she received letter purportiug
10 DO from her son then ia Australia.
Presently he retured home aud was
recognized By her and others as her
sou. She died, and he eommeoced a
suit for the Tichborue property whose
annual rental amounted to $3.50, 900.
Many believe that the claimant is the
real heir, but the old servants Of th'
family are shy Of him. lie fad'
hosts Of friends to loao him moosy
His ease looks promising. At last 81.

Kissed by sunbeams. waieted nightly
BY the sweet ieviving dew
Natures lavish hand has crowned you
With beauty high anil rare,
Blighting frosts have never found you
Flowers Of Summer, ye are fair
Flowers Of Autumn, proudly blowing;
Lo, our garden beds are gay
With your colors rich aud glowing,
Soon 10 fade and pass away;
Like the clouds at eve that cluster,
Shedding back the sunset light,
With n fair au Hceting lustre.
Flowers Of Autumn, ye are bright
Flowers Of Winter, smiling near us,
Needless OF the stormy blast,
Few hut faithful. ye would cheer us
When the sunny days are past,
Many gloomy path yc brighten
Where the chilling shadows rest
Many q weary hear, ye tighten,
