1.-THE LAST LESSON.
The bar-room of the Iron Horse was a
long. low chamber the ceiling and floor
dipping up and down like a great loose
raft in light swell, the walls ludicrously
upheaviness. AS you entered the room
from the door, which pierced one of the
longer sides of the corner, the bar stood
opposite. forming quadrat in the other
corner. A rude place enough, though
once garrishly decorated, having in front
of it low stout iron railing to keep its
bottles, glasses, and inmates out of reach
with q small room in the rear for the
latter to retreat to in cases of dire ex-
tremity. For although Sam Rather, tine
bar-keeper, had been prize fighter, and
could on occasion clay" drunken in
truder into his domain with a science
which left (the intruder) nothing to be
desired, Sam was out of practice; while
the brawny frequenters of the place were
in the daily habit of swinging hundred
weights of iron in the teeth of tons of
the same metal and when half dozen
such men determined to clear the room,
Sam, among others, held it to be the bet
ter part of valor to submit to them
On this particular Saturday evening,
at nearly nine o'clock Sam, his shirt
sleeves tucked up, was leaning on his
muscular arms, and with short Guilty in
his mouth, watching with rather an anx-
ious eye the play of feeling among his
customers. Fifty or more of their big
forms doomed up through the smoke
that rolled upward to the low ceiling.
and wreathed in murky haze the weak
lights of the petroleum lamps against
the wall He had handed out, in less
than three hours, forty-one quarts of
beer and sixty odd half pints of gin.
The room was arranged by low wooden
partitions into bays, where eight or ten
men could sit together and rest their
pewters and glasses on the narrow tables
between. Each bay had its company,
though the lowness Of the partitions en-
abled the men to interchange freely foul
stories, oaths, threats, challenges, some
times clouts, and other convivial recogni-
tions. Most of them were smoking short
black pipes; some, with every semblance
of reason gone from their faces, were sit
ting up and drinking steadily, their
friends supplying them. Some had fall
len asleep with their pipes in their
mouths, or with heads dropping on table,
or partition, or bench. These were the
subjects of rude practical jokes. | will
relate one.
One man, seeing his friends face hang
ing over the partition, with his dark
matted beard turned sideways, lit a
match, and winking to his comrades to
note the splendid joke, set fire to the
hair. 1t famed up, scorching the skin
of the unconscious wretch, who woke in
the morning marked for life For the time
his friends enjoyed the fun immensely; but
some mornings afterward the joker was
found lying in the street with his head
smashed in with hammer; and latter
on Mr.. Calcraft, then in Office hanged a
man, half of whose face looked red and
skinless. This little drunken joke cost

With thy unwritten, snowy page,
And dash away the unshed tear
Would dim thee with its dull presagei
Hope dances from her dewy bower
Thy early footstep 10 begGile;
And Love, as fresh as Eden's flower,
Shall wave thee onward with smile.
Why carry to thy record fair
The cares, the sorrows, buried, past?
Let them float back kward on the air,
And perish like the ocean blast.
Despair our speech has unbound,
The stoutest heart has often quailed;
We've iouted fortune as she frowned,
But was II fate, or we, who failed?
OFT destiny holds this surprise,
Fate, smiling, slowly drops her mask.
Our pain was blessing in disguise,
And health was hidden in the task.
We weave but blindly at the loom,
Nor see the picture, save in parts;
Not ours TO mark the gleam or gloom,
But labor on with patient hearts.
When the bright angel overhead
The soul-wrought tapestry unfurls,
Perhaps the tears we slowly shed
May gleam amid the gold like pearls.
The sorrow which has crushed the life,
A lily blooms, on azure field;
And daily care and toll and strife
In bud and flower may stand revealed.
One thing is left US undisturbed-
We still can work and love and give.
No matter how the life's perturbed,
II, living, we learn how to live.
Come with proud port and step elate!
IL dawn is dark, noon may be clear:
Come, give us heart for any fate!

No bird-song fioated down the hill,
The tangled bank below was still;
No rustic from the birchen stem,
No ripple from the waters hem.
The dusk OF twilight around us grew,
We felt the falling OF the dew;
For from us, ere the day was done,
The wooded hills shut out the sun.
But on the rivers farther side
We saw the hill-tops glorifed-
A tender glow, exceeding fair,
A dream OF day without its glare.
with US the damp, the chill, the gloom;
With them the sunsets rosy bloom;
While dark, through willowy vislas seen,
The river rolled In shade between.
From out the darkness where we trod
We gazed upon those hills OF God,
W hose light seemed not OF morn or sun;
We spake not, but our thought was one.
We paused, as II from that bright shore
Beckoned our dear ones gone before
And stilled our beating hearts TO hear
The voices lost TO mortal enrl
Sudden our pathway turned from night;
The hills swung open TO the night;
Through their green gates the sunshine showed
A long slant splendor downward flowed.
Down glade and glen and bank II rolled;
IL bridged the shaded stream with gold;
And, borne on piers of mist, allied
The shadowy with the sunlit side!

The river dark with mortal fear,
"And the night cometh, chill with dew,
D Father, let thy light break through
$50 let the hills of doubt divide,
To bridge with faith the sunless tide!
$50 LET the eyes that fail on earth
On thy eternal hills look forth,
And in thy beckoning angels know
The dear ones whom we loved below!"

As he screamed this out in a terrible
voice. he seemed to be struggling against
an impulse to rush upon his guest and
throttle him. His face and hands work

"Out i tell zee :" shouted Bill, raising
his poker; and the stranger, without an
instants hesitation, sprang through the
door. Just in time, for his host rushed
at him with the fury OF a tiger Then
the murderer shut the door and turned
to the children covering round the room.

WHO Is HE 4?

The stranger, so roughly driven from
Bill Knowsley's shelter, hurried out of
hearing into the wild gloom as fast as he
could Avoiding the village he stumbled
across the waste of slack, until he struck
upon high-road leading northward-a
road drear and lonely enough by day, but
on that night suggestive only Of despair
Over the broad plain swept the icy north
east wind, carrying upon its strong wings
a scurrying mass of sleet and rain. Not
a ray relieved the gloom from window or
way.side cottage or lantern Of WAGNER
late upon the road. 1t seemed to the
lonely man, struggling painfully against
the masterful storm, as if the world were
left to tempest and to him. Hard on his
right shoulder beat the blast wetting
him through to the skin, and forcing the
deathly chilliness almost home to his
heart Well for him then, he thought to
himself, that he bad secured a good sup
per and a warming glass. He could
scarcely see a foots;cp before him. So
he went on, wrestling with the fierce,
gusty wind, plashing through unexpec-
ted pools. and now and then stumbling
into the ditch on either hand but never
daring to stop or rest for he knew that
life depended on persistent motion.
