BURGLARY.
Judge Porter's Residence En-
tered.

Judge Porter, who SO often has
had the pleasure of dealing out a
just punishment to burglars and
thieves generally, was himself the
victim of a light case of burglary
Sunday night, while he was indulg-
. ing in sleep, tired natures sweet re-
storer. Some unknown thief pried
open a window, entered the Judges
residence, Lie a match or two, and
after gobbling up two silver nap
kin rings, and a hat, lit out. When
he learns what a good haul he could
have made, he will undoubtedly
agree with the poet, that of all the
sad words of tongue or pen, the sad
dest of all are at might have BEEN"
He might have captured
a hundred dollars worth of silver
ware, which was standing on the
table; he might have appropriated
the Judges gold watch and chain
in his vest, and 5000 in his panta-
looms; he might have ~confiscated
the gold watches and chains of the
Judges wife, son-in-law and daugh.
ter, and he might have got a dose
of cold lead, had he, in his explOra-
tons. awakened the Judge, who
had a big seven shooter under his
pillow. The Judge says ait might
have been" all up with thai
prowler, had he had an opportunity
to pull the trigger on him. He
thinks that the thief must have
been frightened, as a lamp from
Governor Saunders house shOnt
into the room. He Is satisfied witt
the result, and says the thief i:
welcome to what he took.

ADA LEE.
The Story OF n Lost Girl.
CHAPTER l


A bright summer evening, the stars and
the fireilies just coming out, the wise old
moon shining softly. Well might the man
who is said TO dwell therein have looked sad
and sorrowful had lie glanced in the direc-
ton of a certain secluded nook, near the
village of Saltwater, where stood a little
cottage house, surrounded by trees, and lis
tened to the voices of two foolish lovers In
tho little garden.

low but earnest voice, GSd only knows

"You certainly have surmised good

knew her words were daggers.
"Surmised good deal" he repeated

kindly at her down-turned face. And can

While specimens fine both In nature and art

Such handiwork, skin, and artistic display,
Such lovely deSignings, aud finishing rare,
And such wondrous products In nature were there,

The fairsst, the best, when so many excel"
When nights pondrous gate that meier backward
swings
Had shut out the day, and all beautiful things
We're slowly fading nom memory away,
Like the mushroom that springs in a night from decay
There rose up before me vision bright
And fair as the morning. blossom in white
Full blooming and fresh from It's native bower
Was this emblem Of purity-snow white flower
Still growing, expanding, and sparkling with dew,
That changed in its brightness the flower in Its hue
TIL the primary oolors all blended, when 10
Round the rim of each petal was bent a rainbow.
Though tho eye had grown weary with seeing, that
day,
From this blossom enchanting, II tunrod not away,
But still gazod in wonder, not knowing its name,
Nor whether from heaven or earth II Games
But pencil Of heavenly light knew
Touched the dewy flower and tho rainbow grew.
While gazing, tho vision slow melted away
And mingled with dreams twas a festal day,
And thought the angels were holding a fair
On earth among mortals, aud Beecher was there;
That the hearts of men, the pure, great and wise,
We're assembled, all barred, to compete for the prize

When 10 in his hand was the blossom in white;
As he held It aloft before mortal eyes,

But with pain saw that It's petals were shorn
Of the rainbow hues, and were mangled and torn
Then saw In my droam-and II pleased me we'll
On the blossom plying tear-drop fell,
And swim as thought painted again
The bow on the blossom that had stain;
Was the dream all true, or only in partl
dreamed the white prize flower was Beecher's heart

MY DREAM.
By MRS. A. GREGORY.

Methought was gazing skyward,
To find the evening star,
The heavens were ablaze with jewels,
The gates were all ajar.
And looked for the pearly gate
That was left mar for me,
knew it was wrought In costly jems,
But its beauties longed to sec.
I believed that one vas waiting there,
Within that beautiful gate,
/ trusted the promise Of long ago,
Oh why should longer waltz
In the morning thought wen surely meet
In that heavenly world above,
And life will be holy and sweet,
For the life in heaven is love.
l am trying to wash out every stain
By daily watchful care,
That so may be all pure in heart,
And my robes all white and fair.
And now-in celestial spaces,
A radiant angel stands;
Who hockons me with welcome,
To that glorious "Summer-land."
o, lonely and weary Of waiting,
lie said-or he seemed to say
The master is calling-thy work Is done
o, weary one, come away.
Pll guide thee on safely through the gate,
To thy home among the blest,
Thy mansion is all prepared for thee,
Now enter and find thv rest

LEFT BEHIND.

1t was the autumn Of the year.
The strawberry leaves were red and sere
October's airs were fresh and chill,
Whom pausing on the windy hill,
The hill that overlooks the sea,
You talked conlidingly to me-
Me whom your keen artistic sight,
Has not yet learned to read Alright
Since have yelled my heart from you
And loved you better than you knew.
You told me of your toilsome past,
The tardy honors won at last,
Tho trials borne, the conquests gained,
The longed-for boon Of fame attained.
/ knew that every victory
But lifted you away from me,
That every step Of high emprise
But left me lowlier in your eyes,
watched the distance as It grew
And loved you better than you knew.
You did not see the bitter trace
Of anguish sweep across my face,
You did not hear my proud heart beat
Heavy and slow beneath your feet;
You thought of triumphs still unwon,
OF glorious deeds as yet undone
And all the while you talked TO mo,
watched the gulls float lonesOmely
Till lost amid the hungry blue,
And loved you better than you knew.
You walk the sunny side Of fate,
The wise world smiles and calls you great
The golden frutage of success
Drops at your feet in righteousness;
And you have blessings manifold,
Renown and power and friends and gold;
They build a wall between US twain
Which may not be thrown down again;
Alas for i the long years through
Have loved you better than you knew.
Your life's proud aim, your arts high truth.
Have kept the promise Of your youth
And while you won the crown which now
Breaks into bloom upon your brow,
My soul cried strongly out TO you
Across the oceans yearning blue,
While aforementioned and afar
watched you as / watch a star
Through darkness struggling into view,
And loved you better than you knew.
used to dream in all these years
Ofpatient faith and silent tears
That loves strong hand would put aside
Tho barriers Of place and pride
Would reach the painless darkness through
And draw me softly up to you.

Beside my grave some future day,
Perchance the violets DER my dust

Charles Lee returned to Saltwater u pro-
foundly wretched man. He found that the
grocery store of Harry Brown had been left
to his mother Harry having no near relation
of his own. He carried on the business for
II few months, when, his mother dying. and
he feeling that the restless misery which had
taken possession OF him would end only
with his life, sold out and shipped ut Boston
on ship bound for Bombay. One moon
light night, when the vessel had been out at
sea several weeks, Charley was seen to
walk forward. He stood on the starboard
cat-head for n few minutes, when he sud-
denly exclaimed! "God have mercy upon

Immediately lowered, but no signs of him
were seen, and his companions had no
doubt that his pockets were full OF metal, rs
he had been seen few minutes previous to
take couple of hand-spikes from the fore
