The White Rose.
FROM THE GERMAN-BY A BETHEI. LADY.

On an early morning-the sun had just risen, and the birds were warbling their first tune-- there walked ar elderly lady On the road leading from B-g to the cemetery. Her dress, although plain and fitted to her age, was very elegant and of the finest material On her left arm she carried pretty basket, filled with red roses. Often the lady paused, and her eyes would wander over the meadows to the distant hills, covered yet with slight mist, and then she quickly looked again at the roses on her arm she gazed on them with tender look, and when a flower sank down lower in the basket, she lifted it up carefully, and few times it seemed as if she breathed kiss on them.
 When the lady reached the walls of the cemetery, she quickened her steps, her eyes shone with greater lustre-it was evident she had reached her destination. Before well-kept grave, which was sha ded by weeping willow, she stood still as if in deep contemplation. She then laid the roses on it, and sitting down by the grave stone she folded her hands. If her thoughts and feelings raised them selves in prayer, or if her prayer was only thought, who will decide
 There came such deep repose over her whole figure, that one could have be- leved all life had flown from it: only those who observed her more closely would have seen how the lines around the mouth grew more sad and painful.

Two Minutes Too Late.

which, when finished to Fort Wayne, would obyiate the trouble of switching and prevent accidents.
 When Drucie recovered her self DOS session she started from the office with the message in her hand. It had arrived just two minutes too late, and Tom Gray, unconscious of it's existence, was driving his engine ahead and thinking of the girl he had lately kissed adieu. He knew that it was known in Fort Wayne that he was unavoidably behind time, and thought that according to custom the express waiting there would not move out until he arrived /.
 But let us return to Drucie Miller.
 She saw the freight engine standing on the new track slready mentioned and caught glimpse of the young fireman asleep on his box.
 A determined resolution entered her head, and the next moment she was in the engine-room with her hand on the boys shoulder
 That you, Miss Drucie ?" said the boy, rousing himself with yawn. Laws mercy -"
 Get out and uncouple the freight r she cried. Toms moved out, and if he doesn't switch at Colby everybody will be killed. We must catch him p
 The boy with cry of horror left the engine, and a minute later the freight cars were standing idly on the track while the engire and it's tender were moving out, gaining momentum at each revolution of the wheel
 What'll Dick say when he comes back and finds his engine gone ?" said the boy, looking up into Drucie's face.
 What do we care what he says !? What is Dicks life to the precious lives on the two trains ? Jim, how fast can your engine travel r
 About two miles minute," the boy answered win smile. "Shes the

 "Yes, it's Tom;" she cried to cncour- age the boy at the lever. Il sec his light. Now p'
 Then she leaned out of Inc window and shouted at the top of her voice:
 Switch at Colby Switch at Colby. Colby, six Colby, six Y
 Many times she repeated her cry, and all at once she dashed by the heavy train
 Right into her lover's face as he leaned from his engine she shouted switch at Colby 1" and heard the shrieks that told her he would obey.
 Saved Saved Jim l" she cried with joy, turning upon he breathless boy who already was checking the Belle's speed.
 "Golly--wbiz Drucie, they ought to give us train p he said laughing "If we can stop the Belle, we'll go back; hut the girls got her spunk up and would run on forever p
 Drucie Miller returned to the window with feeling of lhankfuluess, for Tom had heard, and was already running into the switch at Colby.
 After awhile the Belle was got under control and backed with lessened fires.
 "Listen Y suddenly cried Jim.
 "Yes, number six is coming but we don't fear now,r said Drucie with smile "TJm and his passengers are safe on the switch !'
 The next moment number six dashed by and Drucie laughed, and actually clapped her hands.
 The meeting between Tom Gray and his love cannot be described.
 Your headlight seemed meteor" he said to her 'and knew your voice-I don't know why, l guess you made time coming down."
 Time said Jim. ''I don't think the wheels touched the rails mord'n half the time. If it had been day, the milestones would have looked like rake"
 There was laugh at the boys exag- geration and when Tom took Drucie aside he kissed her.
 It was not the only kiss she got that night, for all the women on tie train kissed the girl who had saved their lives, and Tom Gray said he wouldn't get jeal- ous when the mustached passengers bent over Drucie, blushing like rose.
 The story of Drucies feat crept into the paper, and, though my story may be old to some of my readers, 1 have told it because l believe it will bear repetition.
 Dick Lambart forgave Drucie for run ming away with his engine, and Jim, the fire boy, never grows weary of telling about that run"
 Tom Gray is still on the road, but Dru- cie does not listen to the click click of the sounder any more. Every night at elght she holds little boy up to the window, and he cries 'papa r' and claps his little hands as an engine goes dashing by.

CHURCH RULES FOR LADIES.

Dress harG all morning such IS fate, Then enter church some minutes late. All eyes will then be turned on you, And all observe your bonnet new. Let humble modesty wreathe your face, And take your seat with faultless grace. Let all your thoughts be fixed on high, And re-arrange your cardinal tic. Think how religions prone to bless, And criticise your neighbor's dress. Let all your heart be filed with grace, And notice Mrs. P-- -'s lace. Put from your mind all thoughts of sin, And re-adjust your diamond pin.
 Think of how good religion proves, Then smooth out your buttoned gloves. Catch well the precepts as the fall, And smooth the wrink. .es in your shawl. Think of the sinners fearful fate, And notice if your bonnet's straight.  Pray for the influence divine
 That lady's basque, mark the design. And tender peace possess your mind, Then criticise that hat behind.
 Reflect on Christian graces dear,
 And fix those curls behind your ear. Let your heart warm with silent prayer. And view that horrid green silk there. Reflect upon the wicked's ways,
 See if your gold chaln's out of place. Think of the peace the good shall find Then wonder who are sitting behind. Think of the burdens Christians bear, And notice those strange ladies there. The last words hear with contrite heart, And fix your pull-back when you start.

The Electoral Commission.

The great mss OF testimony collected
and digested with so much labor by COM
mittees of Congress, and thought by the
democrats to form the main pillar of their
case, turns out to be of no more conse-
quence than il that vast machinery of in
vestigatlon had not been set in motion.
The democratic stronghold, fortified with
such infinite pains and labor, has been
hanked by their opponents, who march
safely past without finding an obstruction
Such hopes as remain to the supporters
of Mr.. Tilden must rest on quite other
grounds than those on which they have
heretofore relied. The herculeau work
done by their committees and the wonder
full cross-exami1ations of Mr.. David Dud-
ley Field, will be treated as so much irrel-
evant rubbish, which the commission
brushes aside rs having no bearing on the
case. Mr.. Tilden has no longer anything
to stand upon excepting the certificates
sent TO the President of the Senate and
such testimony as may be offered to prove
that particular electors were Ineligible
This is slender reliance. In the case OF
Humphreys, the Florida elector, it rests
upon wire-drawn legal technically.
The objection 10 the Oregon eleetor. Watts
is not quite so unsubstantial; but the
democrats must be very sanguine if they
expect to succeed when their hopes hang
on so slender thread as a dispute over
the meaning of the word vacancy, y"
which is the turning point of the Oregon
dispute. The eight Republicans who form
the majority of the commission are not
very likely to award the Presidency to
Mr.. Tilden, on mere refinement AS to
whether there was a vacancy which the
two undoubted Hayes electors were EN-
powered to fill.
