Al the Altar.

by EBEs Z. REXFoRD.
An old man sat in the doorway
When the sun was going down,
And heard the laugh of the children
And chime of bells from tho town.
Hi hair like FURNISHED silver
Fell all about his face,
Aud gave to the old mars features
A look OF sanity grace
The sunset faded from crimson
Into the twilight's gray;
And tho laugh of the happy children,
Like the sunset, died away
Aud silence fell about him
AS lac sat there all alone
Where the moonlight, like blessing,
Lay over the throshold-stone.
Mary, he murmured softly,
Arc the children all asloep?"
And he fancied he heard her answer
In the shadows grown 80 deep.
wish you would read chapter
From tho Bible before | pray;
Something about the city
or God, and the last great day"
And sitting there in the twilight,
Tic fanciod he heard her read
tiom the Book to which, all his lifetime,
He had TUNED and given heed.
Fancicd the voice Of his Mary.
Who toryears in Heaven had been,
Was reading the dear old chapter
Over to him again.
And them when he thought it endod,
Let us pray, the old man said,
And knelt in the beautiful moonlight.
And bowed his reverend head.
They found him there on the threshold
kneeling beside his chair
And the white threads OF tho moonlight
We're tangled in his hair.
But he did not stir nor answer
To the words his children said
Low at the dear Gods altar
lie knelt in the moonlight dead
-An,eric0n Home.

A Heroical CoehinchiueSe.

There are but Decius, the Roman,
who threw himself in an abyss to serve
his country Winkelried, the Swiss,
who buried in his body the Austrian
lances, to open breach to his country
men into'the steel living wall mt Sem
pach and the French Chevalier D'As
sas, bayoneted for refusing to keep
silent, who can be compared to this
great and modern Phantangian. This
man was the governor of three Anna
mite provinces, menaced this year, by
the advance of the French troops from
Saigon. Phantangian had considered
resistance MS quite useless, therefore
he did not give any orders for the de.
fence of the provinces, and poisoned
himself. Before dying, he wrote to the
French commandant of the invading
force a letter from which the following
passages look more Roman like than
Cochinchinese like: "Whilo sub
hitting to you, without fighting, have
obeyed the sentiments of man who
wants to prevent useless evil. / know
France and her resources, and was
aware therefore, that if You meant it,,
you would conquer those three prov
inces. BY resisting, | could have done
some harm to You; but / would have
only delayed an unavoidable evil, and
brought down upon my peaceful
countrymcn ruin and desolation. j
would have drawn, perhaps, the whole
Annamite empire into vortex of in
calculable disaster. While, in dis
obeying my orders, leave TO my gov
crnmont one door open for honorable
negotiation, for it can say it has not
fought, and that / am alone guilty of
the partial disaster. | am convinced
that have acted well, as a friend of
human kind, wishing only the good of
my follow men, and as patriot am
always ready to give up by life. "
Regulating the Fare.
Paganini, one day at Florence. Jump
ed into cab and gave orders 70 be
driven to the theatcr. The distance
was not great, but lie was late, and an
enthusiastic audience was waiting to
hear him perform the famous prayer of
"Molse on single string.
How much do l owe you ?" said he
TO the driver.
9" For you," said the man, who had
recognized the great violinist, "the
fare is ten francs.
"What, ten francs? You are surely
testing"
81 am speaking seriously. You
charge as much for place at your con
cert.
Paganini was silent for moment;
then, with complaccnt glance at the
rather too witty driver, said:
81 will pay you ten francs when you
drive me upon one wheel.

And determined to make one
more appeal, he said:
"Susie, darling love trust me
for happiness. You will never re-
pent it. Come"
"No, no. Cor
He turned off quickly, angrily
then; and Susie sank, sobbing on
the grass.
"My daughter!"
She raised her eyes heavy with
tears. Beside, with a sad but kind
and gentle face, her father stood.
With him a puzzled, doubtful ex-
preston on his features, her lover.
"Oh, Frank, / am $3.50 glad
to see you again !" she cried, with
as much JOY beaming in her eyes
as though their parting had been
for years.

with a pleasant smile.
81 feared it would be for years.
perhaps for ever" Susie said, In
low voice, anxiously regarding
her father, and longing to beg an
immed late explanation of her
lovers return.
"My daughter, what did you in
tend to do after sending off this
young manl Be a dutiful child,
and wed as I wish YOU"
"Never, never, father ! intend to
be dutiful only so far as not we'd
ding against your wishes, that is all
to leave the future to God, only
praying constantly that some bless
ed influence may be sent to change
your mind and heart" Susie
answered, raising her eyes to his,
filed with earnest determination.
"Your prayers must have COM
menced already, my child. Some
influence must have surely been
sent-some blessed influence, I
} truly believe. Yes, my child, you
will wed to please your father.
J Here Frank, take her. / ought to

MurdcrOus Assault.
BY CON G. QUENCE.

It would chill the blood of the
most vile wretch in creation, if the
many horrible deeds done under
cover of night, could be revealed
to him by some power or process.
The tale / am about to relate is
supposed to have taken place in the
month of cold November, at the
dead hour of midnight, when the
world was at rest, and the victims
of this bloody narrative were, as
was supposed, safely ensconsed in
their place of abode, weary from
the scenes of the day. The night
was cold, and an occasional cloud
would at intervals shadow the pale
light of the moon, while the chilly
winds whistled by with low and
pensive sound. AS the moon dis
appeared from view, two murder
Gus looking men, with hair matted
and uncombed, and villainous eyes,
stole from a clump of wood, with
cautious and noiseless tread, hesitat-
ing at times to convince themselve
that they were unobserved, and pro-
ceeded in the direction of the un-
suspecting sleepers. They reached
the house and opened the door
with great care, still keeping a
sharp lookout least some one might
approach, and then disappeared.
What was done within / will not
attempt to describe here, but suf-
flee it to say that their stay was
brief, and when they once more re-
turned to the open air their coun-
tenances wore mingled express
sion of vengeance and satisfaction
They stood for q moment, as il
listening for any sound that might
chance to fall upon the midnight
air, but hearing nothing, they
made q hasty retreat back to the
clump of wood, carrying with
them their poor, dying victims.
Next morning it was discovered
that a hen roost had been robbed.
AS rule, the first of April is
considered Gall Fools Day."

Susic'S Faith.

Peeping through the vine-cover-
ed bower, and watching eagerly the
path through the woods, was a
beautiful little maiden. An anx-
ious look was in her deep blue
eyes, as passing her hand over her
heart as if to stop its heavy bsat,
she said:
"Oh, why does he not Gomez How
long a time! If he had good news
l know he would come quicker.
Oh, l have not mite of hope y
The pretty lips quivered then,
and she stepped back, and sank on
the mossy seat.
A moment after q sound, slight
as the dropping of leaves, caught
her ear. She sprang up, and for
an instant a bright light shone in
her eyes, but quickly died away,
as the slow, heavy step came near
er, bringing to sight a tall, no.
ble-looking young man, whose face
if less stern, would have been very
handsome.
Without speaking, he clasped
her outstretchcd hand and drew
her within his arms, shaking his
head sadly.
81 felt it was so or you would
have come sooner" the maiden
said, resting her head against his
shoulder.
81 had little, if any hope, Susie.

"Over and over the same old

"Don't talk so, dear, please. l

never, never listen for one moment
to any other man but you, Frank.
So you may be sure, if papa will
not let me marry you, l will never
marry at ALL" Susie said, her eyes,
full of tears, looking up to his.
"Susie, / have made three ap-
peals to your father during the
past year; each time finding him,
if possible, more determined to
oppose our happiness. l will new
er humiliate myself again, and he
will never yield, Now what will

"Wait, hope and pray. ! can do

fearful voice.
"Yes, Susie, darling, You can

"I cannot leave him, Frank. In

cried, as she saw the disappointed
and stern expression of her lovers

Notwithstanding her faith.
"Then good-by."
She raised her face, pale and
pleading to his:
"Kiss me good-by, Frank, and
say, Sod bless me- please" she
whispered.
He did as she pleaded, but there
was an injured air in his manner
AS he parted from her, she sprane
