THE TWO TRAVELLERS
By WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Twas evening, and before my eyes
There lay landscape gray and dim:
Fields family seen and twilight stars
And clouds that hid the horizons brim.
! SAVIOR was it that dreamed -
waking dream I'll cannot say;
For every shape as real seemed
As those that meet my eye, to-day.
Through leafess shrubs the cold wind Kissed
The air was Tick with falling snow:
And onward, through the frozen mist,
saw weary traveller go.
Driven DER that landscape bare and bleak,
Before the whirling gusts of air,
The sncw-hakes smote his withered cheek,
And gathered ON his silver hair.
Yet on he Jared through binding SHOWS.
And murmuring to himself he said
:" The night is near, the darkness grows,
And higher rise the drifts tread.
Z" Deep, deep each autumn flower they hide
Each tuft OF green they whelm from sight;
And they who journeyed by my side
Are lost in the surrounding night.
al loved them; oh, no words can tell
The love that to my friends bore:
We parted with the sad farewell
Of those who part To meet no more.
"a And /, who face this bitter wind,
And DER these snowy hllocks creep
Must end N journey soon and md
frosty couch, frozen Sleep"
As thus be spoke, a thrill of pain
Shot to my heart l closed my eyes,
And when opened them again
started with glad surprise.
Twas evening still, and in the west,
flush Of glowing crimson lay:
i saw the morrow there, and blest
That PROMISE Of glorious day.
The waters. in their CLASSY sleep,
Shone with the hues that tinged the sky,
And rugged cliff and barren steep
Cleaned with a brightness from ON high.
And one there whose journey lay
Into the slowly gathering might:
Win steady step he held his way
Ger shadowy vale and cleaning height.
marked his firm though weary tread,
The lifted eye and brow serene,
And saw no shade of doubt or dread
Pass DER that travellers placid mien.
And others came, their journey DER,
And bade goodnight with words of cheer;
Tomorrow, We shall meet once more;
"Tis but the night that parts US here"
And /, - he said, .. shall sleep ere long
These fading CLEANS viii soon be gone
Shall sleep, to rise, refreshed and strong,
In the bright day that yet will dawn"

Had passed, and he was lost to sight.

Walked Up the Wrong Passenger.

A Chicago gambler walked up the
wrong passenger in the person of mrs
cular young man who had come from
Iowa to attend the Universalist conven-
ton. The gambler was "steerer for
bunko den, and having decoyed the
young man to the place, sought to in
duce him to play. The latter, however,
had read the papers, and, besides, had
principle enough to decline. On this
the gamblers, three in number, locked
the door, and were about to ego
through" their victim, when he pro-
ceeded to lay about him with his red
right arm, and in the space Of minute
or two, knocked the three ruffians sense
less on the floor. Leaving them all in a
heap, he unlocked the door and went on
his way rejoicing.

ANDY JOHNSON has commenced again.
He will be in Washington on the 4.h of
March with a fresh supply of flags and
constitutions. As disturbing element
there is no question that he will prove a
success. Andy will feel prouder of this
success than of the round of glory from
Alderman to the Presidency.

BlunderS.

Several curious stories are ahoat in
London, for which the bad proof-reading
of the provincial journals is responsible
For instance, Mr.. Disraeh informed a
Scottish audience that it was net his wont
to stagger or utter ambiguous words
in the Streets" Mr.. Knatchbull- Huges-
sen In q recent Grafton referred to Mr.
Disraei as one who " lowered above the
rest of the government as giant amongst
pigmies," but his local journal made him
say that he admired "Mr Disraei, be-
fore whom the rest of the government
quailed like beaten hounds before their
master" The shorthand writer in this
case evidently had taken too much beer.
But the types alone are to blame for the
cOmical error of suburban London jour
nal, which, In announcing cture for
Darwinites, spoke of it as Sunday
Evening Discourse for Advanced Tink-
ers." An "h" dropped out of the last
word.
THE BAPTIsTs. During the past year
the Baptist denomination has acquired
80 associations, $50 churches, 756 or
dained ministers, and 127, ,632 members,
making the present grand totals 943
associations, 21,510 churches, 1884
ordained ministers, and /, 761, III church
members, of whom 102, 496 were bap-
tized during the present yesr. Mr..
Macarthur, of the Calvary Baptist
Church, New York, states that the Bap-
tist denomination has to-day about 5000
more churches than there are ministers,
and makes strong appeal for aid for

Bismarck Aroused.

A correspondent of the London Tsle-
graph gives the following picture of Bis
marck while speaking in the recent eX-
citing debate in the German Parliament ::
Never did hunted lion turn more savage
ly-I venture to say, the impression OF
what saw and heard being still strong
upon me, more terribly-than Prince Bis
marck turned on his assailants, whom he
NAV figuratively b said TO have rendered
into a thousand pieces. His gigantic
frame absolutely trembled with passion ;
his gray eye flashed, and his heavy NOUS
tache bristled; paper he took up during
his first speech, for purpose of reference,
vibrated visibly in the passionate grasp OF
his sinewy hands, and ever and anon his
closely buttoned uniform became tense
almost to splitting across his huge chest,
as he set back his shoulders and threw up
his head, regarding his foes with that inn
placabe glance which never fails to shake
the strongest nerves, when he darts it al
an object of his hatred or contempt. In
the course of an experience neither briei
nor ordinary, have seen many remarka-
BILE men at moments when they may have
been expected to labor under excitement
of the most vehement description; but
have never yet witnessed the conscious
ness of unbOunded power expressed in the
physique and bearing of human being as
| saw it in Prince Bismarck. As he stood
forward, facing the house, the natural
sternness of his aspect accented by the
natural rigidity of his military tenue, he
looked to me like the incarnation OF an
ungovernable will; like Colossus, un
questiOnably capable of bearing upon ms
mighty shoulders cares and Responsible
ties that would crush common mortal'

Women Capturing Deer.

In the early part of the season a deer
entered the meadow Of farmer named
Emery, in Delaware Township, Pike
County. Pa. A small dog belonging 10
the farmer discover, d it, and attacked it.
The barking Of the dog attracted the at
tention of Mrs. Emery and her daughter
Bertha, a girl sixteen years old. As they
looked out in the lot, they discovered the
deer and the dog. The dog had the deer
by the throat. The two women ran to
the scene of the conflict. Bertha seized
the deer by one of the hind legs, and her
mother grasped it by the head. The next
instant Bertha lay on the ground, several
feet away. her mother taking a similar po-
stion in the opposite direction. Although
bruised and scratched, the women re-
newed the battle. bertha threw her arms
around the deer's body, and by the aid of
her mother, a smaller brother and sister.
and the dog, ran it into pen, and secured
it unframed.
A few days ago a four prong buck, close
pressed by hounds. ran into the garden OF
a man named Bushnell There was no
one home but Mrs. Bushnell. She saw the
deer. and made up her mind 70 capture it,.
Taking other shoes, she succeeded in get
ting close to the buck. 1t discovered her,
and turned for fight. She seized it by the
horns. 1t tried to stamp on her, but she
avoided il, and being powerful woman,
retained her hold. Round and round the
garden they went, Mrs. Bushnell some of
the time being dragged on the
ground. Finally the baying of the hounds
was heard in the track of the deer. The
buck made two great leaps, and throwing
up his head suddenly, regained his tree
dom, but left his antlers in possession of
Mrs. Bushnell, they being broken of
close to the bucks head. She has the
trophy now in Their possession. The deer
was not captured.-Ne1o York Sun.

Bound TO Sing.

Brother Glover was pretty big man in
certain old Connecticut village. lie
would swear a little sometimes, but when
he subscribed $500 towards rebuilding and
retitting the old church, that special act OF
charity covered a multitude OF sins.
Brother Glover had Il big voice. There
was no time, tone or tune in it, but he bel
lowed as he pleased in church singing.
When the new church was finished it had
to be dedicated, and a choir was carefully
trained to do the singing. Brother Glover
was not one of the choir, and the lnten-
ton was to rule him out of the vocal eX-
ercises. The choir had careful y rehearsed
a new dedicatory hymn, and every thing
was ready for the interesting ceremonies.
The church was crow led. and Brother
Glover was in his place in Il front pew; as
large as life. The new piece was struck
I'D. and Brother GlOver's voice rose loud
above the organ. There was PAUSE.
The organ and choir were mute and the
latter mad. The minister, looking at a fly
on the ceiling. explained that it was new
piece, which the choir alone had prachced,
and requested the congregation not to join
in the singing. The piece was recon-
menced, and again Brother Glever's big
voice broke it up. The preacher then fix
ed his eyes on Brother Glover and request
ed him to keep silence during the perform
ance of the new piece, which he did not
understand, and Brother Gil yer, looking
at his beloved pastor with his big. round
ewes, replied in a big voice, g Look-a-here,
Mr.. Barnhart, paid $500 towards repair
ing this darned old gospel box, aid by
thunder will sing" The preacher gave
up, and so did the chOir.-Harttord Co'"-

old, has been missing from his boarding
house on Catharine Street for week past.
He may be in the river; he may be hang

Joined a brass band and took his horn
home and practiced with it. The neigh

the "tOOts" began to thicken people De-
gan to grow ugly. Jacob was in hurry
to learn, and he made a regular business
of blowing that horn from seven O'Clock
in the morning until ten at night, resting
not more than two hours. Men and wom-
en- demonstrated with him, but he said II
they didn't like his footing they could
move away. The police were consulted,
but they replied that brass bands were a
hubble necessity. BOYS threw brlckbatS
through Jacobs window, but he hitched
his chair around Out of range and made
the old horn scream like locomotive.
Letters threatening his lie were sent to
him. but he thrust the horn out Of The
window and footed defiance at the senders.
A few nights ago he started to go TO Ar

him. At midnight that night Waterman

A Singular Accident.

The readers of the Leader will remem
Der the particulars of a distressing accl-
dent which befell Mr.. w. J. Farrar, the
we'll known dealer in sportsmen's goods,
on Superior Street, last April. A custom
er brought to him breech-loading gun,
which he said failed sometimes TO go Oh.
and MIR. Farrar had loaded IL with " elve
blank cartridges, every one of which ne
afterwards fired. While engaged in re-
moving the empty shells from the gun,
one of them exploded, the cap entering
the right eve and intlicting a dangerous
wound. Farrar placed himself under the
care of DIR. Smith, and by skilltul treat
ment the wound healed and it was sup
! posed that the patient had entirely recov-
cred. A few weeks since, however, the
| wounded eve again became troublesome
and grew worse so rapidly that DR.. Smith
was convinced that unless it was removed
| the other eve would also become affected.
| With Mr.. Farrar's consent he therefore
removed the eye ball-and now comes the
curious part of the story. Upon eXamina
| ton the cap was found firmly imbedded
in the eye ball, the cause of all the mis-

A FOregOne Conclusion.

Cases of mistaken identity are now OF
frequent occurrence, and it is evident that
eur difficulties of recognizing each other
are becoming greater every day. A re-
markable instance of this is afforded by an
error made the other night, according to
the Glasgow Citizen, by man in Glasgow
respecting his wife. 1t seems that this af-
fectionate husband carried home from the
Great Rollok Police Station a drunken
woman, whom he supposed to be his wife,
On arriving at his house he deposited his
burden tenderly indoors, and to his hor-
ror she Immediately died. His grief, how
ever, was not without consolation, for on
examination it was discovered that the de-
ceased woman was a total stranger. The
delight of the man at this discovery was
still further heightened by his wife being
found at the Central Police Station, where
she had been locked up on a charge of
drunkenness. Thus the evening ended
happily, and the story is lesson TO other
husbands, not TO hastily jump at the con-
clusion that every drunken woman they
meet must be their wife.
