INTO THE DARKNESS.

into the daI kIess a soul hath sped
A soul weighed down with luad of c,ime,
4 soul thai would fam with its dust be dead
And lot N the ear tbs dark CRIME.
Into the ght of the upper skies
4 soul is called on its Judgment day
A soul that hath made of dross it's Prize
And Knocked at the narrow way"
Poor SOU! with pity its victims gaze;
Soul self condemned in the light eterIe'
II reads its record with dread amaze
And feels the INDY ing worm.
The Judgment is fixed ere the Judge appears:
The ain again meet the tlayers sight,
While the shame anL the wrong OF the finite year
Appeal to the IAhnite
Soul selEcopdemred, what fate is thine
A fate. where the fortunes of memory
Through the spirit senses like serpents twiEe,
Till their sting seems part OF thee
There's no repentance for deeds OF shame;
Each daring sin hath an endless life,
Which curse n the deer wit h const AIT b.ame
And blameh with constant strife.
Poor seul lost soul with ceaseless dole
Still moaning thy errors forevermore
Eow sad to thee 10 thy lite's dark scroll;
How barren the shining shore

sound broke the stiffness. could see in the
freight how my master started forward in
his chair, his great hope hurrying his breath
Strange to say, as the darkness deepened
his confidence seemed to grow only the
stronger and more steadfast, until at last
by its very simplicity as we'll as force, it

strong.
The weather had been fine all day, though
the wind was high, and there had been fit

after the sun had set the weather changed,
and each gust of wind sent noisy splashes
OF rain against the uncovered window panes.
But. through all the dreariness of the night
and the rain and the darkness, We sat on,
watching without seeing, and listening in
tently for one sound which yet never could
have been heard above the roar of the
wind.

the orders which the servants needed, and
after that glare the darkness of the Sources
room struck heavily upon my heart; but
saddest OF all was it to see the new attitude
OF eager expectancy in which found him
now. He was leaning forward on the arms
of his chair and did not turn his face from
the window even while he spoke to me in
low, hurried voice. THE moon hath risen,
Come quickly, Hester. When this cloud

nothing more, till he dropped his hand |

You hear" he questioned sharply. when
he had finished; and thought there was q
great eagerness in his sunken eyes-a great
eagerness to hear some one say he had done
right,
quietly and without exciting him, "but it
signifies little to any of US. 1t isn't very
likely We old servants will stay at Wesmede
to see Captain Warder take our young

After that l threw away all fear of nv

often and often and often. both of his son
and Miss Agnes. You see could do them
no harm. He had done his worst. He
could not either make them unhappier or
leave them more destitute, go l had no
longer any fear for the effect of those words
which would rise hotly and anxiously to nv
lips. Sometimes he was almost patient with
me, and would only murmer the old reply,
which he always uttered 60 very slowly,

But at other times he would loudly and
fretfully silence me, ordering me from his
presence. Yet-and this was sad even to
me, because it so plainly betrayed his grow

almost Immediately, and presently would
once more repeat the old assurance, which
it was so plain to see he could not believe,

Six weeks ago Mrs &. 7. Yarbrough obtained
q divorce from her husband on the ground Of
dcscrtfon. The husband went to work at Hick-
man, KY. and still, us it appears, cherishing an
affection for her, sent letters and kilograms,
urging her to come to him and marry him again.
She accordingly left here Saturday morning on
the Hickman bound train. When she reached
Wavcrly, however, she was taken from the train
upon a dispatch which her brother Edward had
caused to bc sent. He followed her, proposing
to persuade her to return, or In any
event prevent hcr from going to Hick-
man to meet Yarbrough. At Wavcrly
Sunday morning, under pretensc that she was
going to her room to lie down, she aud the
daughter Of the hotel proprietor slipped out by

where she met hcr former husband. He took
her to the Courthouse, q license was obtained,
and they were married three minutes thereafter.
