She leased-her wild heart beating Ioud and
fast
Into the bssaking day,
And from her window, where the poplar cast
Iis tangled shadow. watched him. q h9 pass'd
With careless step along the orchard way.
Her sad gaze followed through the misty mora
''Ah, turn-turn once she sighed.
He crossed the ssiie and vanished in the corn;
The sun grew dark the merry day foriorn,
And oil her heart within her failed and died.
Loud drummed the locusss from she furrovs dry.
And in the strong hos sooa -,
She looked again. and saw him drawing nigh,
Breasi-deep amid the swsrthy waves Of rye,
Lifting the measure Of n old love-tune.
And then she Whispered In her weary pain
Would God his cruel eyes
Would turn one moment TO my windowi" Vain!
He kept his way, unheedng. through the grain,
And all the air grew heavy with her sighs.
Day dwindled. and the night fell, dark and chill,
Upon the upland corn.
The herd-boy called his dun herds from the hill,
The noisy wheel grew silent at the mill.
And in the west the young moon hung her horn
And still she watched. and still her starved hope
stirred.
As. in the dusty street
Winding away TO meet the town, she heard.
Sweeter to loves lorn ear than song Of bird,
The ciatter OF his households fierce, and feet.
AZ he rode BY, the false, pale moonlight cast
His shadow on her gate,
Like one come 70 lin the latch, at last.
Alack with cold, averted eve he pass'd
The open wicket, pitiless as Fatei
Then she arose. and from the moaning wind,
Aud from the curious stare
OF the white stars, that Knocked her As she pined,
she closed with trembling hand her window
blind,
Turned from her watch, and wept In lone
despair.

EOld father Jacob Kruber q ce

SOld father Jacob Kruber q celc-
brated methodist preacher in his day,
was acoosted by one who thought,moro
of ecclesiastical titles than godliness,
"How Is it you have no Doctors Of Di-
vinity?" The old preacher replied "our
divinity is not sick."
This same old brother Kruber, abe,
learned. sarcastic and eloquent, lived in
the days of the Revolution In America.
Being called on to pray on some great
public occasion, delivered the following
petition 40 Lord have mercy on the
sovereigns Of Europe; convert their souls;
give them short Ercs aud happy deaths;
take them TO heaven, and let us have no
more of them"

TArrLERs AND TArrLrNa.-The dis
position to pry into the privacy Of do
mestic life is, unfortunately, very COM
mon and is always dishonorable. The
appetite for such knowledge is to be
regarded as morbid, and indulgence Of
it disgraceful
A family have a sacred right to pri-
vacy. In guarding the delicate rela-
tions of the household, secrecy becomes
a virtue. Even if by chance the private
affairs of household are laid open to
q stranger, honor would require him to
turn from them, and If a knowledge of
them were forced upon him, they should
be locked in a sacred silence.
A double obligation of silence and
secrecy rests upon one who is a guest
in family. The turpitude of Q be-
trayal of family history by visitor is
far greater than theft would be. To
pocket half dozen silver spoons would
do far less damage, produce far less
suffering, and be less immoral, than
tale-bearing. 1t il q thing 50 scandal
ous that it should degrade q person
and put him out of society. To betray
the secrets of the household is not only
an odious immorality, but it is SIN
and shame to be on good terms with
those who are known to commit such
outrages. They are miscreants. They
put themselves out of the pale of decent
society. They should be treated as
moral outlaws.
These hungry-eyed wretches who sit
in the unsuspicious circle Of parents and
children, treasuring their words, spying
their weakness, misinterpreting the in
nocent liberties Of the household, and
then run from house to house with
their shameless news, are worse than
prisoners Of wells or burners Of houses.
They poison the faith of man in man.
If one opens his mouth to tell you
such things, with all your might smite
him in the face!
There are two actions which Justify
you in instantly knocking man down;
the one is the act Of pointing gun at
you in sport, and the other il the At
tempt to tell you . secret which it is
disgraceful for him to get, and for you
10 hear. Make no terms with such peo-
pla Talebearers have no rights-are
coDmoa enemies Of good men. Hunt.
harry, and hound them out Of society

friend, if you want to get along il this
world" said Sunday school teacher to
ene Of her scholars, a. he was juststart-
ing for home.
'Yes, ma'am, I viii, because / know
it is wrong to tell falsehood.'
Say, Billy, Just you look here said

No, not exactly that, but I win tell
you what happened to me the other day,
and you can Judge for yourself
You know my old grandfather, who
lives with US, don't like me Just because
1 won't mind him. Well, the other
day I went down to my fathers store
and I saw some Cayenne pepper there,
and just then I thought It would be .
good chance to get even with him. So
l put some of it in a paper and took it
home with me, and while grandfather
was down stairs to dinner / mixed some
with his snuff, and managed to make
my way down stairs without being dis
covered.
after dinner was over, We allascend-
ed to the parlors, a. we expected some
friends to call.
About eight o'clock in came . party
Of gentlemen; among the number was
one who was an old snuffer, and having
forgot his snuff f-box, of course he called
on grandfather for . pinch, ct the same
time asking the other gentlemen to par.
take, which they did; also one or two
old ladies.
1t was not more than two minutes
before they all commenced to sneeze
and such sneezing party you never
saw in your life. Their heads were bob
bing up and down, and the water was
coursing down their cheeks. / really
thought, when / looked at their tears,
that thoroughly understood the def
milton of the word streamlet, but some
of those old gentlemen would insist upon
calling it dam.

but still she had to sneese, fnint or no

Well, my father at last began to sus-

thought would 60 topieces. He went
and got the snuff and gave il . thor

with his quill over narrow strip Of pa
Per, while some member il ON the plat
form. All know what this means, and
at . slight bow Of his head the Presi-
dent announces that Prince Bismarck,
Chancellor Of the Empire, has the floor.
Al he rises there il q general demand
for silence all over the House, with the
exclamation. HE ID speakingr" He
inclines his body toward the Assembly,
winds his thumbs around each other,
and casts an occasional glance at the
House; but he stops, hesitates some
times even stammers, and corrects him
self, he seems to struggle with his
words, which ascend unwillingly to his
lips; after two or three there will be q
short pause, when one can almost hear
. suppressed swallow. He speaks with
out gesture, feeling, or emphasis, and
often fails in the accentuation Of sylla-
bles, 80 a. to weaken his thought. One
wonders if this is the man with . par
iamantary career behind him of more
than . quarter of o century, during
which period he has been in every legis-
lative body Of his country, meeting with
bitterest opposition from the Liberal
party in his early career, parrying their
most caustic words in kind, and reply
ing with wonderful presence Of mind,
by the wittiest impromptus or the most
cutting sarcasm. It is the same man,
and presently he will prove it. Gradu.
ally his speech flows with more warmth,
and unfolds its peculiar attraction; a
series of original, fresh, gritty, and
significant expressions, which tell more
by their power than their beauty. His
speeches are collections of sentences
rather than the development Of smooth
and logical train of reasoning. Many
Of them have gone into history - prov
erbial, such ~ sCataline existences," I"
"Blood and iron," "Austria must move
its center of gravity toward the Orient" +"
etc. Some months ago, after listening
to long diatribes about the evils of the
recent wars, and the burdens which
they have brought upon the people as q
nation, he quietly arose and said: 'Af-
ter each one of the recent wars the ma
ton has enjoyed q greater amount of
parliamentary liberty than before them. ="
This was 50 strikingly true that it was
folly to argue that they had led to ty-
ranny. And he closed by saying "But,
nevertheless, gentlemen, the German
nation has a right to expect from us
that We shall prevent the return of such
. catastrophe; and I am convinced that
the allied Governments desire nothing
80 much as to effect this purpose -
With this beautiful aamonition, simple
though dignifed, and expressed with
fervor, he electrified the audience as If
he were the greatest orator, and then
sat down amid deafening applause from
all PARTS of the House. Thus, with ap-
parently no oratorical power, he seldom
takes the floor without confirming his
nation in belief that, take him all in all,
he is q statesman such as Germany has
never before enrolled in her annals, and
whom the world at large may we'll envy
her in possessing.-Scribner for April.

With nothing in the dispatches to stimulate
the demand, and no farther improvement in
foreign exchange, the market opened quiet
and rather less buoyant, and only limited
business was done during the morning, but,
later in the day buyers came forward more
freely, and the sales summed up the amount
noted above.
Prices were pretty we'll maintained, but it
was more difficult to obtain the extreme prices
realized yesterday even for desirable lists.
On the other hand, some factors were un-
willing to accept the ruling rates. Upon the
whole, the market may be reported as closing
steady at yesterdays quotations At the same
time, as has been the case throughout the
week, exceptional sales by holders wishing to
close out some small lots were made at
some concessions, while good staple kinds
continued in scant supply and were held dis
proportionately high, compared with other
descriptions.
The amount on shipboard not cleared,
going on board, and engaged for shipment was
set down at the opening this morning at
$4,000 bales, embracing 5000 for Liver
pool, 700 for Havre, 1000 for the Mediter-
Tanean, and 1000 for the North, which when
deducted from the stock on hand by our
running statement yesterday evening, leaves
