longed to the occupants father, and
was set up there in loaded condition.
Its presence was always an eyeSore to
the occupants wife, who shared fully
with the sex their fear of firearms. So
the other day, Friday, we think, she
induced her husband to take it down
and fire it of. He had never fred of
a gun that had been loaded eight years
in fact, he never fired off q gun at all
so he poked it out ofa window and took
aim into the garden, without the faint
est shadow of fear. His wife being afraid
of firearms, stood behind his back and
looked over his shoulder with her eyes
tight shut. He shut his eyes, too, and
then he pulled the trigger. What imme.
diately followed neither appears to have
any settled idea. He says he can vag'
uely remember hearing noise Of some
kind, and has and indistinct impression
of passing over something which must
have been his wife, as she was found
between him and the window by the
neighbors who drew him out of the
fireplace. The fact that one Of his
houlders was set back about two inches,
and that three of her teeth were i'm
bedded in his scalp, seemed to indicate
that in stepping back from the window
he had done so abruptly, and this con,

SONG AND STORY.
BY THE SHORE OF THE RIVER.

Through the gray willows, the bleak winds ar
Here on the shore with its driftwood and sands
Over the river the lilies are growing,
Bathed in the sunshine OF orient lands;
over the river, the wide, dark river
SprfngIime and summer are blooming forever
Here, all alone on the rocks, am sitting,
sitting, and waiting-my comrades all gone
Shadows OF mystery drearily hitting
over the surf with its sorrowful moan,
over the river, the strange, cold river,
An, must walt for the Boatman forever
Wife aud children and friends were around me
Labor and rest were as wings to my soul;
Honor aud love were the laurels that crowned
me;
Little reckon how the dark waters roll.
But the deep river, the gray, misty river.
All that lived for has taken forever.
SILENTLY came black boat DER the billows:
Steaithily grated the keel sand:
Rustling Footsteps wers heard through the will
lows;
There the dark BoatmSn stood, waving his
hand,
she who Is dearest must leave thee forever"
Suns that were brightest and skies that were
biuest
Darkened and paled in the message he bore,
Year after year went the fondest, tne truest
Following that beckoning hand 10 the shore,
Down 10 the river, the cold, grim river,
Over whose waters they vanished forever.
Yet not In visions OF grief have wandered;
Still have toiled, though my ardors nave
nOwn
Labor is manhood, and life is but squandered
Dreaming vague dreams OF the future alone.
Yet from the tides OF the mystical river
Voices Of spirits are whispering ever.
Lonely and old, in the dusk i am waiting
Till the dark BOatman with soft, muflled oar,
Gldes o'er the waves, and hear the keel grating,
See the dim, beckoning hand on the shore
waiting me over the welcoming IlVet
To gardens and homes that shine forever.
