The Golden sunset.
The golden sea Its mirror spreads
Beneath the golden skies,
And but narrow strip between
Of land and shadow lies. q.
The cloud-like rocks, the rock-like cloudl
Dissolved In glory float
And midway Of the radiant flood
Hangs silently the boat.
The sea Is but another sky,
The sky sea as well,
And which is earth and which til,
heavens,
The eye can scarcely tell.
So when for US life's evening hour
Soft passing shall descend,
May glory born Of earth and heaven
The earth and heavens blend;
Flooded with peace the spirit tloat,
With silent rapture glow,
Till where earth ends and heaven begins
The soul shall scarcely know.

to be a picnic. / engaged to go
with Betsy Tildsn, a circumstance
which would probably have pre-
cipitated matters between Hiram
and me, but business had taken
him TO New York, and he was not
to be back till after the affair was
over. 1t was a great day. Every
body was there. Elsie was there,
escorted, of course, by Mr.. Wal
ford, who in the sheen and seren-
ity of a new suit, infused himself
everywhere, and excited universal
admiration.
When are they to be married?
asked Betsey, with a maliciously
innocent look, as Elsie and her
companion swept gracefully by.
Married. l growled through my
clenched teeth; who says they are
to be married?
Why, everybody.
Every body lies thenl
A very complimentary remark,
returned Betsy, seeing present
company's not excepted.
She'll never marry any such

Come, come, interrupted my tor
mentor, in manner most irrita-
tingly sOothing,I wouldn't let peo-
pie see it hurt me so much. But
rest assured its q fixed fact Hi
ram Chepe as good as told me he
was to stand up on the occasion.
Hiram Chepe's q donkey, l was
about to exclaim, when 4 commo-
ton in the crowd cut me short.
Why there's Hiram got baekl
said Betssy; and who's that in the
violet colored vest, laying his hand
on Mr.. Walford,s shoulderi
It was evident Something seri-
Gus was up. As we neared the
crowd, we caught the words Ii
was Hiram that spoke:
I'm just out of jail.
With ascream Betsy darted for
ward and flung her arms round
Hiram's neck, for her heart was
loyal at the bottom. ~
I'm just out Of jail, Hiram re-
piled, as soon as he found Betsy
hadn't tainted, and III tell you how
/ got there. When | reached
New York l went to brokers' to
dispose of a bond I got from that
man recently, pointing to Walford.
The broker looked at it, compared
it with . paper he had, whispered
something to another man, who
went out, and then they managed
to keep me waiting till a police
man came. The bond, it seems,
was one of batch that had been
stolen, and l was at once arrested
on suspicion of the robbery, and
am now only here on bail.
And this ere gentleman, added
the owner Of the waistcoat, at the
same time patting Mr.. Walford's
shoulder, we've more'n good rea-
son to suspect, is the cove that
that made the grab.
Fiel shamel were the exclama-
tons heard on every hand.
Just look here, ladies and gem
tlemen, proceeded he of the violet
hues, whisking off Walford's false
hair and whiskers, and exposing
an ill-shaped head and villainous
looking face, in which couldn't be
traced the slightest resemblance
to the youth that wanted to be an
angel.
Poor Elsie was overwhelmed
with confusion, and more than one
jeering glance fell upon her.
At once approached and offer
ed my arm. She took it, and, as l
led her away, l cast a look upon
the crowd that said pretty plainly,
Just let me see any Of you chaps
crack q smilel
The rest of the missing bonds
were found, safe and snug in Wal
ford's trunkj and when they took |
him away that evening, hand
cufed, and strongly guarded, his
prospect of celestial promotion
didn't seem to be at all immedi-

He was, unfortunately, addicted to the

Gated. About three o'clock he started

who noticed the accident, and convey
ed to house near by, where be laid
down, and in few moments seemed
to be asleep. In short time a rela-
tive came to see hin, and discovered
.hat he was in a dying condition. A
physician was sent for, but before his
arrival death ensued.
Coroner G. S. Snowden empanneled
a jury and held an inquest ON Thurs
day evening, returning verdict tc
the effect that death was caused by
congestion of the lungs.
The funeral took place on Saturday
and was attended by large concourst
of friends, including members of thC
Venango County Bar, of which de
ceased was member. The family
and relatives of the deceased have the
sympathy of the entire community il
their sad affliction.- Henango Citizen

In the Brookyille Republican we

On Friday last G. w. Spencer was
confined in Jail, on charge of caus.
ing the death of Prussian named
Brunner, at Reynoldsville.
1t appears that Spencer struck Brun-
ner on the head with heavy poker at
the St. Charles Hotel some six weeks
ago, knocking him insensible, in which
state he remained for several hours, but
that be finally so far recovered as to
be able to attend to his work again
and that nothing serious was appre.
hended until week before last, when
he complained of severe pain in his
head, which increased and finally re-
suited in insanity and death, the lat
ter taking place on Sunday, the 11th
inst. A coroner's inquest was held,
and the facts developed about in ac-
c0rdance with the above statement.
A warrant was issued for the appre-
hension of Spencer, and Constable E.
Nef made the arrest at Big Run on
Friday morning, conducting the pris.
one- to Reynoldsville, where he was
taken in charge by Sheriff Barr.
