THE OLD CLOCK,
by FLoRErrE N. DuNHAM.

~
ThoSold olook stands on the mantol picco
Quaint, aud dusty, and grim,
sIts hands still messure tho passage of time
Though its face is faded and dim.
sIf heard the first wall of tho infant wlc
g3 came
fSS TO new aud untried land,
i It gaily looked down at the wedding feast
When new ono was joined to our band
It measured the hours when we stood BY
the side
Of tho bed whore dying one laid,
It tiokcd out tho moments, oil lingering
and slow,
When tho grave on tho hillside We made
Aud when to the South land another one
went,
The clock tiokcd solemn good bye,
AS he strodo from our presence, SO fearless
aud brave,
Could we dream he but left us TO die.
It stood just the same when he came back
again,
With our flag for funeral sheet,
And it whispered measure Of rhythm and
rhyme,
Solemn, aud tuneful, and sweet,
"Tiok, tick! he has come, but he is not
here:
Tick, tick! lie is far away;
And the feet that have troddon these well
known paths
In glory ale walking to-day"
Did it whisper those words, that faded old
clock?
So ancient, 80 tried, aud so true;
Did j: tick those words of hopo and of com.
fort to us,
As they bore him away from our view2
So like an old friend seems its face to me,
AS it steadily measures tho time,
With the to and fro swing of its unccasing
tongue,
And its ringing mclodious chime.

"Then l will .ron;uin where I am."
Our hero Was silent. Tho girl took
the lamp, and in sad tone said, once more:
"Follow mo and may HeaVeh graht that
you may escape"
Frank observed that Ter explanation
denoted that she might be Christian, and
he asked:
care you Mohamincdan?"

"rhen why not escape with me?"
"And become wandercr on the face of
of tho earth? No, did choose my fatc
in lit'o, and shall not seek to 'soape ftom

In answer to her questions Frank told
her, as near as he could indicate, by what
entrance he had passed within tho rufus,
and where he had left his horse and aooou
tIemeDts.
"Yuu could not have left them in safer
plroe," said the gir'. No Mohammedan
would venture near that spripg; they would
die of thirst rather"
"And will you tell me why2"
81 cannot tell YOU, but there is somo su-
pelstition connected with its waters, which
causes them to remain away FROM tho vicn.
ity Of the spring altogether"
At length tho girl came to halt, and,
pointing 20 passage way said:
"Fullow that. and it will lead you beyond
to tie plain; but fear death awaits you
without. But it is your only ohancc, as
you would certainly bc discovered anywhere
within the ruins
Frank would have renewed his thanks,
but the strn conductrcss was s:ngularIy
averse to hearing one word.
"N"!'' she said, edo not tarry moment;
you mperil both rur lives"
At the samo moment Frank heard the
sound of approaching steps.
"Oh, mercy" exclaimed tho girl, eve

FRANK MIDGELY GETS INTO AN ODD
SCRAoE.

Tho party whom F"ank Midgcly found
at the entrance of tho passage were the same
who had been left 10 charge of the horses
and travelling pa"apharnalia of the robber
chief. Did he not fear endangering the
life Of his fried, he would have taken the
chances of running tho gauntlet Of these
men; but, as it was, he decided to adopt
moro cautious plan. The result was that,
like the detective, lie ccame lost amidst tt
subterrancan passages Of the ruins. Fortu-
nately he had had food and drink, and did
not Immediately affer for tho want Of them
After wandering around for somo time, he
became wcaiicd} and sat down amidst the
darkness to rest land think over his chances.
He soon fell asleep, and, being greatly cx.
profou IDLY slumbered for number
~ hours. WhSn he finally awoke, i

An old detective says: "If I desired to
train my son for detective, would first
make him newspaper reporter; that,
beyond any other business. is the busines ess
that nkes stupid men smart, ordinary men
able, and capable men brllinnt; and what
an experienced reporter cannot detect is not

BRO. ROSA, OF DELAWARE.

Bro. and Sister Rosa, of Delaware, are
in attendance at the National Grange
for the third time, as representatives OF
the "Diamond State" Delaware has
but three counties and twenty>three sub
ordinate oranges. He can report the
Order in his State in good condition. He
claims that for the number of oranges
they have saved more in financial way
than the same number of oranges in any
State in the Union. On the one article
of artificial fertilizers the actual savings
over retail prices for this year, has been
about $4,000. They have co-operated
successfully in shipping their immense
crops of peaches and other fruits. Have
two cooperative stores in the State, both
on the "Rochdale plan," and as Bro. r.
saws, the only true way. These stores
are giving satisfaction, and have a con-
stantly increasing business. One Pomona
grange has been organized. Bro. Rosa
considers the Order in a good healthy
condition, and permanent institution
in his State:
Bro. Rosa has farm of ninety acres.
His principle crop is fruit-has forty-hve
acres in strawberries, raspberries and
other small fruit 1000 pear trees, 2,00O
peach trees, and other fruits. lie has a
fruit dryer and dried this year abouHl 200
pounds. The members of his subordi'
nate grange this year dried about 10000
pounds Of fruit, the secretary alone
drying 10000 pounds. Bro. 4. has
brought fine display of these dried OF
evaporated fruits of which we speak in
another place.

a Hard CdSe.-Last evening gen.
tleman residing in McDowelville, desir-
ing to come into town, found it so dark
that he was obliged to carry lantern, as
many of the street lamps in that neigh
borhood were not lighted. OnScott and
Union streets four lamps were extinguish
ed, and it was hard work getting along
1t is too bad that citizens should have to
furnish their own street lamps, and the
lamp lighters should attend more closely
to their work.

Brave Deed of a Locomotive Pilot In
BaltImOre.

The Baltimore News has this item: An
incident occurred yesterday afternoon in
which Patrick Flynn, an employe of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company, figured as something
Of hero. Flynn, is employed on the road
as pilot, whose duty II is to ride on the
front of the engine on all trains from the
depot to and from the city limits to see
that the track is clear OF all obstacles. Yes
terday, as the New York express was near
ing Ann street, aon Canton avenue, the
pilot abserved a small child not more
than three yearsfof age, standing upon the
track, apparently altogether oblivious of
the approaching danger and regardless OF
the ringing OF the bell aid the sounding OF
the whistle.
The train was running at the rate of seven
or eight miles an hour, the engineer was
slgnalled, and the brakes whistled down;
another moment and the child would have
met with q terrible death, when Flynn
reached out his hand and seized the child
at the same time throwing himself with q
vigorous effort from the engine to the side
of the track, bearing the child in his hand
A murmur of applause went up from the
by-sta nders, who had observed tine hazard.
GUS feat, as the brave pilot again jumped
aboard the train.
