4 Sad Story.

Ii is II sad and weary life that Christian
X. Ross is leading in search OF his lost
child. The history OF mankind shows
nothing that will compare with the IN
happy condition OF this sad affair. Time
comes and goes, but in the ever chang
ing tide of time no trace of the lost boy
is visible. Now and then rumors OF q
discovery of the whereabouts OF Charley
reach the fathers ears, and with never
failing devotion to his child he hurriedly
seeks The place only to meet with grief
and disappointment. At one time & voice
comes from the East telling him that his
boy is found, but investigation fails TO
identify him. Then report will come
from the West that his boy is saved, and
he repairs thither only to find the story a
myth. Thus from mouth TO month he
meets with disappointment, but 1t never
dampens his ardor in the search. lie
has spent 100000, his entire fortune, ard
is now a travelling salesman for an east
ern house. He has made three hundred
journeys in search of his lost boy and
says he shall persevere until the child is
ound, or he dies himself.

should riddle the bodies OF the guards,
and would have delivered it in moment
moro but for grandfather. He caught
sight of them, and his JOY was so great
that he could not repress loud shout
/ The Indians turned on hearing it, and
also catching sight of the pursuers,
gave yell and darted away. A vOlley
was fired rs they fled, and the one be-
hind made u great leap into the air and
fell over a log, four or five bullets having
struck him in the back.
The other one ran directly for his COM
panions, and his news raised the siege OF
the Turner cabin in moment. Finding
that revengeful foe was on their trail,
the Indians made all haste out Of the
neighborhood, and could not be over
taken.
Grandfather was like a child when re-
leased. lie laughed and cried by turn,
threw his arms about grandmother, shook
hands with the mon, and acted Ike one
gone crazy. lie had been cruelty used
by the red rascals, and was 50 weak when
he attempted to start homeward that the
men had to carry him most of the way.
The couple were not week getting out
,of the State, going back to their old
home and in time grandfather recovered
and was about again. But 10 the day OF
his death, when grandmother took occa-
zion at the breakfast table to say that she
had dreamed OF this or that, he never
again charged her with being whimsical,
or expressed desire to see her midnight
visions fulfilled.

"Wen, nope We will, " replied grsrd-
isther, little doggedly. 'You are

! just 70 please you, hope we shall ge, a
call from at least q hundred"
Look out Peter Barnes! You may
have cause to regret that speech before
You are half day older. l dreamed
last night just how they came, what they
did, what We did, and i; makes my blood
run cold to think Of it"
Grandfather made no reply, realizing
that she had always had the better OF
aim in argument, and the meal was fin
shed in silence.
/ A year before. my relatives, both OF
whom were nearly fifty years old, but
strong and hearty, sold their farm in
Ohio and located in Western Kansas.
Their children were all married off, and
the old couple were entirely alone.
They had a stout and comfortable log
cabin. a good farm and had already made
many Improvements.
The location was not thought 70 be 3
dangerous one. although few miles be-
youd the last hamlet in that section, and
three miles in advance Of the location Of
the previous settlers. The Indian had
raided this part OF the country the year
before. but the soldiers had given them d
severe rebuke, and it was not believed
that they would dare venture back again.
Grandfather was certain that he would
not be interrupted in his peaceful pur-
suits. and was annoyed that grandmother
should croGk Of evil.
/ More because it was the custom than
! from any idea that he would ever have
use for it, grandfather kept rifle in the
house; and one day, when = settler who
was owing him money, and could not
pay, brought 8 revolver to him as the
only offset he could offer, grandfather
took ic. and laid il upon a shelf.

Placing il in a corner, she went TO an ole

the revolver was got down, cleaned up

She could see him following the plow

PAIRING OFF.-William T. Coleman,of
San Francisco, was talking the ether day
of his old partner, Edward Mott Robin

NUMBER "A.
WrecEii0 a Public Speech.

The most complete wTecking OF u pub
lie speech of which 1 ever heard, hap
pened in political campaign, In this
place il was not hidden rocks, NOR un-
seen currents, nor unexpected braces,
bu! torpedoes, placed on purpose to blow
the vessel off the water. The two par
ties were TO hold meetings in the same
place on two successive nights-thG Re
pubicans the first night, the Democrats
the second. The Democratic spGaker
was man OF large form and fine pres
ence, with rich voice and conside able
claim to oratory. He was, however.
somewhat pompous, and had very marked
peculiarilies of manner, which hii fine
form and voice made even more con-
spicuous. The Republican speaker was
q most pitiless wit, a great mimic, and
possessed remarkable memory. Com
ing the first night he made short speech
on the issues OF the campaign, and then
said, This is my speech. Colonel -
will be here tomorrow night and ri toll
you what he will say" Throwing himself
into the attitudes of his voice and manner,
be gave them the speech he had hoard
him make few nights before. and W. lich
he felt sure he would repeat there. The
next night the house was crowded t. its
utmost. Oar Democratic friend felt very
much ilatte:ed at the large attendance.
But the moment he stepped on to the
platform a suppressed smile spread itself
over the audience. At bis first sentt nee
it broadened and deepened almost into
laugh As he proceeded, posture, tone,
speech, and gesture all followed copy"
80 exactly that the whole audience broke
out into tit of uncomfortable laughter.
His friends tried to restore order. but 1t
was impossible TO keep their own faces
straight. The audience themselves lelt
ashamed OF their behavior, and tel. q
sympathy for the speaker. and after an
outburst they would all hush down, end
determine to listen. But every time he
speaker resumed, the response broke out
again and deied all restraint. The
speech ran short and troubled course.
and the speaker closed, by no means
happy. They at once explained to him
the source of the difficulty. When he
learned the trick his antagonist had
played on him, it is said "he went lor
that heathen Chinee" in a phraseology
not suggested by the third commandment.

The Best GIFT.
By KATE HILLARD.

Around the cradle that thy childhood bare
Came Gods own angels, with their plying eyes
And gazed upon thee in s. stnl surprise
To see beyond heavens portal aught 50 fair.
>hey brought these precious gins. one gave to
thee
The GIT OF beauty for thy bOdy's grace,
Deep-smiling eyes TO light dreamy face,
And perfect limbs as young App1o's bS.
one set the crown Of genius on thy head,
And one bestowed heart like woman's own,
Strong As the sea, and trembling at breath.
Last, a yeilcd figure bent above the bed,
And said, al give thee every thing in one.
"Iu heaven I an named Love, men call me
Death.
