BiTUMEN.
A COSTLY JOKE.

In the flush times when oll.wells were the theme
Whereon all enterprlsing minds were dwelling,
And every spectators fondest dream
Saw great Petroleums aromatic stream
The fat OF natures broth, plutonic credm-
spontaneously from his own we'll upweling,
Twelve gentlemen on money-making bent
Assembled in an upper chamber spacious,
TO listen to an "enterprislng gent
While he to them should make it evident
Much money might be made for littlespent
BY any one sufficiently sagacious
To furnish funds, by him to be invested
In a location he himself had tested.
''The territory where that well and derrick are
Is the best oil country in America.
The drill win very shortly reach bedrock,
Being already promisingly started"
We paid our money and we took our stock,
Whereat our disinterested friend Departed;
And then marked, as have marked before,
Twas not possessing riches great or small,
That fixed the due proportion each one bore.
Those who have little always give the more,
And those give least who have the greatest store
On them all burdens do most lightly fall,
While some are like the cobber in his stan
When into one small hole he puts his little awl.
Why need here repeat the old, Old story?
We never saw again our cherished pelf;
The reader will have guessed So IA priori,"
And very likely knows how It's, himself.
When the whole enterprise had gone to pot
once more we stockholders convened Il meeting
In the same sadly wel-remembered spot
We came to see where all our wealth was 'not
And to the rest one then, there, thus gave greet
Ing:
ave poor outsiders do not feel so sore
although were neither more nor less tina
human)
At having sacrificed our little store,
For you rich folk, who know so vastly more,
Have been deceived in spite of your acumen
And THIS deep hole that's proved so great bort
Although ii has no oil, it has 'bit-you.men."

HIS WORD OF HONOR.
BY PHILLIP BoURKE MARsTON.

The Screen Dragon" at Orpington as
ming to be an inn, is in reality little more
than a wayside public house. Mr.. Hunter,
landlord and proprietor, was therefore not
little surprised and hurried when, upon a
raw October afternoon, a young man having
great coat over his arm, light bag in one
hand and a stick in the other presented him
self at the bar of the "Greeu Dragon" and
asked languidly ii he could be &C oomm' ted
with bed and sittiug-room.
"a bed, sir?" replied Mr., Hunter, big
man, with red face and gray hair, Eyes, |
think we can manage to give you bed"
"And sitting-room ?'' continued the
stranger,
"A sitting echoed the landlord in
the tone of one who is considering some
great undertaking; Zone minute, if you
please, sir" and Mr.. Hunter disappeared in
to a little room Immediately adjoining the
bar, there to hold counsel with some second
person, the upshot being that, in a few
minutes, Mrs. Hunter Miss Hunter, and
few Hunters just out of the crawling state,
issued forth, bearing respectively working
materials, socks, in process of being mended
tin whistles and decapitated dolls.
"You can have this room all to yourself,
sir" said Mr.. Hunter, triumphantly.
"You really must not let me disturb you,"
rejoined the traveller.
Don't you mention it," replied the land
lord, in a tone which was at once genial and
confidential. "We would not turn a custo.
mer away from our door, You see, we do
not have much parlor company"
Sand this is the only room you have dis
engaged ?"
"Well, yes, sir this is the only room at
present, Susan Goals for the gentleman
| fire."
The traveller having, as he thought, shown
due amount of consideration for the com
fort of Mrs. Hunter and the young Hunters
was glad enough to enter the apartment be-
fore alluded to, and to draw close to the fire
the one dilapidated armchair,
Arthur Seton, barrister by profession, anc
lit erary by choice, was not really more thar
thirty, though.he looked considerably older
for the dark hair and beard were streakeC
with gray, and the face, with its regular
handsome features, wore habitually lool
of such intense mental WEAKNESS as woul(
have saddened the most hopeful man had h,
looked on it for long.
For some time he leaut indolently back
his hands clasped behind his head; at lengtl
he rose aud took from his bag a locked-ul
diary, which he opened, and availing him
self of pens and ink which stoodlupon tn
table, made the following entry:
October IL, 1S74.-Got up late. Callel
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1876-06-02

bent down. She raised her face, and the
hearts and the lips, so long, disunited, came
together in prolonged, passionate kiss. He
knelt down by her, her head sank upon his
shoulder, and for several minutes they re-
mained thus, lost in loves profound peace
and mystery. And the ale corks continued
to pop and the wagoners on their way to
London tramped in and out of the bar, and
warm good-nights were exchanged between
customer and landlord, and as Arthur fold
ed Alice's mantle round her, she said, hall
shyly, "You are coming back with me to see
mamma, are you not?"
"May ?" he answered, great joy evident
in face and voice. -
So the bedroom which Mrs. Hunter had
been preparing all the afternoon, and OF
which she was not a little proud, remained
unoccupied, but the payment was lavish,
and the days labor was not regretted.
Oh! that never-to-be-fo-gotten ride to
Chiselhurst through the wild, windy even
ing, Between it and the past three years
lay all the pains of hell And the rain
ceased, and strange voices were abroad in
the wind, singing jubilantly over love re-
risen and redeeming. And the clouds drift
ed away, and the pure, sweet, windy moon
light quivered over wet fields and trees and
seemed loves benediction.
leave you to imagine the arrival home.
Arthur had always been a favorite with Mrs.
Clarefield, and in the old days of quarrels
she used always to take his part. When
dinner had at last been disposed of, Mrs.
Clarefield pleaded household duties and
went to her bedroom. There she sat down
before the bright fire and wept profusely
dear soul, over the hppiness of her children
And down stairs these two are very quiet
TO them love was a solemn thing, and they
were solemn lovers. And the wonderful
priceless moments went silently and swiftly
by.
Presently, however, Alice said, looking ur
in Arthur's face, and pressing his hand very
tightly, "You won't continue your walk tc
Hastings this week ?"
And he answered, with a bright smile
"But pledged my word of honor to dc
So"
"And l command you to break it."
Yes, and he did break it but none Of hi'
fri ends brought it as an accusation against
him that for once in his life he had broken
his Word of Honor!

THE OLD COUPLE.

1t stands In sunny meadow,
The house so mossy and brown,
With It's cumbrous old stone chimney,
And the gray roof sloping down.
The trees fold their green arms around 1t,
The trees a century old
And the winds go chanting through them,
And the sunbeams drop their gold.
The cowsllps spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the.h
And beside the brook In the pastures,
The herds go feeding at will.
The children have gone and left them;
They sit In the sun alone
And the old wife's ears are falling,
AS she harks to the well known tone,
That won her heart In her girlhood,
That has soothed her In many care,
And praises her now for the brightness
Her old face used to wear.
She thinks again of her bridal
How, dressed in her robe Of white,
She stood by her gay young lover
In the mornings rosy light.
Oh the morning Is rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek has fed
And the sunshine still is golden,
But 1t falls on a silvered head.
And the girlhood dreams. once vanished,
Come back in her Winter time,
TIL her feeble pulses tremble
With the thrill of Spring time prime.
And looking forth from the window,
she thinks how the trees have grown,
Since, clad in her bridal Wilderness,
She crossed the old door stone.
Though dmmed her eyes bright azure,
And dimmed her hairs young gold,
The love in her girlhood plighted
Has never grown dim or old.
They sat in their place In the sunshine,
TIL the day was almost done;
And then, at Its close, an angel
Stole over the thresholds stone.
He folded their hands together
lie TOUCHED their eyelids with balm;
And their last breath tloated upward,
Like the close OF Il solemn psalm.
Like a bridal pair they trayersed
The unseen mystic road,
That leads to the beautiful city,
'Whose builder and maker is Cod

The large sums of money which We're paid
by the authorities of several counties in the
mountainous parts of Pennsylvania as boun-
ties for scaps of wild animals during the
last year prompted an investigatson, which
revealed well devised and carefully exc
cuted scheme for defrauding the county
treasures. In one instance the skin Of a
colt which had died was deitly cut up and
made into ears, and palmed off as those Of a
fox. A large number of warrants have been
issued against the persons suspected of this
fraud
