he exclaimed. jumping up at the same
time. and casting piercing look at the
children. thoroughly frightening them.
His face grew red-then tears came
into his eyes lat last he sobbed aloud.
He took the youngest child in his arms,
pressed her to his heart and kissed her
The child struggled and called to her
sister for help; she could not think
what it meant. Then he put down the
little one, and did the same to Lizzie,
who took it more quietly, as she had
seen that the man did not hurt her
sister. At last, becoming more com.
posed, he dried his tears and said:
"Do you know my name, children 2
"No," replied Lizzie.
allow happened it then, that you
have come to me?" he asked. Has any
one sent you to me g.
'sNobody has sent u.s." replied Liz
zie, ''We were to go to Kilburn, where
a brother of our father lives, and they
said he would gladly receive us. But

man, who does not care for his rela.

what will you do if this hard-hearted

The children looked at the man ir
utter Devil derment; they did not I'm
derstand what he said-his words and
his behaviour We're alike strange tt
them. This he soon perceived, for he
added:
"You are going to Kilburn to Pat

The ehildfen's tears quickly changed
into smiles, and the meal which Biddy

the landlord once more. "Hear then
1t is the body of my son, my only son-let
him rest, if rest he can. He was wounded
in quarrel aud brought home here to die.
| thought he would recover, but there was
neither doctor nor priest at hand, and in
spite of all we could do for him he died.
Let him alone now, or let a priest be sent
for; he died unconfessed, but it was not
my fault it may not yet be too late to
make peace for him.
"But why is he buried in this place?'
"We did not wish to make stir about
it. Nobody knew of his death, and we
laid him down quietly one place thought
was as good as another when once the life
was out of him. We are poor folks, and
could not pay for ceremonies"
"The truth at length came out. Father
and son were both members of band of
thieves under this floor they concealed
their plumber, and there, too, lay more
than one mouldering corpse-victims who
had occupied the room in which | slept,
and had there met their death. The son
was, indeed, buried in that spot; he had
been mortally wounded in skirmish with
travellers, and had lived long enough to re-
pent of his deeds and to beg for that priest
ly absolution which, according to his creed,
was necessary to secure his pardon. In
vain he had urged his father to bring the
confessor to his bedside in vain he had en-
treated him to break off from the murder
Gus band with which he was allied, and to
live honestly in the future his prayers
were disregarded, and his dying admoni-
tions were of no avail. But for the strange
mysterious warning which had reused me
from my sleep and driven me out of the
house that night another crime would
have been added to the old mans tale of
guilt. That gasping attempt to speak, and
that awful groaning-whence did they pro-
ceed? 1t was no living voice. Beyond
that will express no opinion on the sub
ject. will only say it vas the means of
saving my life, and at the same time put
ting an end to the series of bloody deeds
which had been committed in that house.

A Nights Adventure,
BY F. DE LACY.

6ST 7 was in the spring of lS-. l had
l. been at Rome during the Holy
Week, and had taken place in the dill
gence for Naples. There were two routes,
one by way of Terracina and the other by
the Via Latina, more inland. The dill
gence, which made the journey only twice
a week, followed these routes alternately,
so that each road was traversed only once
in seven days. l chose the inland route,
and after a long days journey arrived at
Ceprano, where we halted for the night
The next morning we started again very
early, and it was scarcely daylight when
we reached the Neapolitan frontier, at
short distance from the town. There our
passports were examined, and to my great
dismay, ! was informed that mine was not
en- regle. It was covered, indeed with
stamps and signatures, not one Of which
had been procured without some cost and
trouble but one "0isa" yet was wanting,
and that the all-important one, without
which none could enter the Kingdom of
Naples. / WIS obliged, therefore, to
alight, and to send my wretched passport
back to Rome, my wretched self being
doomed to remain under police surveillance
at Ceprano, until the diligence should
bring it back to me on that day week at
soonest.
81 took up my abode at the hotel where
l had passed the previous night, and there
presently received a visit from the Capo
de Polizia, who told me very civilly that l
must present myself every morning and
evening at his bureau, but that might
have liberty to circulate in the neighbor-
hood during the day. l grew so weary of
this dull place, that after ] had explored
the immediate vicinity Of the town l be-
gan to extend my walks to a greater dis
tance, and as always reported myself to
the police before night met with no objec-
tion on their part.
zone day, however, when had been as
far as Alatri, and was returning on foot,

and could not tell how far might be from
my destination. was very tired and had

Brought Him to Time.

In one of the upper counties Of North
Carolina young fellow by the name of
Ben Sykes had courted fair one for some
years, but either was not ready or willing,
as he never came to the point.
At last she got mad, and declared she
would marry Bill Patterson if he ever
courted her again.
Bill, hearing of this, went and once
more put in his claim but he was a scurvy
fellow in some things, and neither dad nor
nam was willing.
So he secretly goes to b., gets a license,
and that night they made Off for Gretna
squire.
On their road to happiness, however,
who should they meet but Ben Sykes. He
got an inkling of what was going ON, and
when he met them he understood how the
case lay.
"Sally," says he, "Ive fooled with you,
that's fact, and Pm sorry for it. But if
you still prefer me to Bill Patterson, just
say 50 and will give him a thrashing,
take his license, and make Moody marry
us tonight"
The old love was too strong for the new.
Ben gave Bill thrashing, took his gal,
and what he hated most) his license,
which cost him seventy-fve cents, and was
off with his plumber to Moody's.
The old Squire did not so well under
stand how one man could be married in
virtue of a license granted to another.
Ben said he did not himself understand
law quibbles, but this he know, that un-
less he did it, he (the squire would ketch
it too. The hint was enough for Moody,
who without more ado, pronounced them
man and wife.

Just the Same as It used to Be.

The girls are planning to get beau;
They dress for party and ball and show
And the old folks tell us it wasn't so
When they were young and used to go!
But the difference is no more nor less
Than a little change in the style of dress
And human nature itself, you see,
Is Just the same as it used to be
After the verses and prayers are said,
The old folks light the boys to bed,
And they lie as still as though they were dead,
IT'LL daddy goes Otto his dreams instead,
Then down the back stairs-so sly and slow,
With their boots in their hands-and away
they go,
And the old man laughs in the morning to
see;
1t is Just the same as it used to be
Those good old maids are waiting yet
Over love affairs they froth and fret
OF girls they never saw such set
Every one is a silly coquette
But if backward something like forty years
They would carry their meddlesome eyes and
ears,
In Airts and freaks of their own they'd see
It's Just the same as it used to be
OF course to the aged tits right to hold
The years they were happy, the best that
rolled,
But thetruth is plain, and ought to be told,
That the world grows better in growing old /;
And only love in Its show and flame
Is ever changing and yet the same
Freaks of fashion and charm you see,
But it's just the same as 1t used to be !
