The Gypsies Moving On.

Edward King writes to the Boston
Journal of the CONSERVATION which has
arisen among the inhabitants of Rou-
mania at the expectation that the Turks
will cross the Danube and commit the
same outrages that blackened their arms
in Servia last year. People are fleeing
in all directions away from the banks of
the river. They are not content with a
short distance, but feel safe only when
they have crossed the frontier. Thou
sands of them are now pouring into
Austria. The poor, he says, may be
seen tramping along the muddy roads
whole family together, sometimes
perched in shabby cart drawn by a
melancholy horse, and sometimes beg
ging passage for few miles of some
slowly moving wagon train. The gyp-
sizes, of whom there are as many as 2OO,-
600 in Roumania, are moving also. Some
of these gypsy trains are exceedingly
comical. The women, with their matted
black hair, their dark, yellow faces, their
queenly stride, and their scant and tat
tered garments, marching ahead and
singing shrill songs in their own jargon,
which even Roumanian natives can not
understand, are strange figures. The
father of the family follows next, and is
usually dirty, offensive-looking rascal,
often bareheaded, but sometimes capped
with the Wallachian head gear; his torn
girdle is supplied with a knife, and some
times with a long pistol; he wears the
opauke or cowhide sandal, bound on the
foot with innumerable thongs, which is
so universally used in Turkey-in-Europe;
for the rest he is a bundle of rags. Be
hind the father the children follow, rid
ing in a cart drawn by donkey, an old
horse, or large dog whose temper has
been soured and whose hair has all been
rubbed off by continual hardship and
exposure. The gypsies hate the Turks,
and it will not be an easy task to get
them out of Austria.

A Wen Hanged swi.dle.


Yesterday man clad in the garb and
having the general style of . frontiers.
man called at Mr.. Eppsteins pawn
broker's Office, on the corner OF Wood
ward and jefferson Avenues, and said
he would like to make . decker.
IS Well, sir, what can I do for you?''
inquired the urbane attendant.
ave got some gold here, |" said the
stranger. "I'm hard up and want to
raise some money on this ERE pile.
He took from an inner reast-pocket
q small pasteboard box, carefully lifted
the cover of, and disclosed to the pawn
broker q handful of gold nuggets.
"Where did you get thatP" inquired
the pawnbroker.
s.Dug 'er myself" was the reply.
Chow much do you want for ita'
ssOhP" returned the miner, Z" don't
want to sell it; only want to make a
temporary raise. guess e150 will see
me through for few days, and when l
git home I'll send for it."
The pawnbrOker tested one of the
nuggets, found ii twenty-one carat gold,
and after weighing it and finding the
pile worth STA, he offered to advance
800 on it.
"'Twon't do, mister" said the
visitor. az must have $3.50 or nothing. !"
Zone hundred dollars is all can
lend you on il. . replied the pawnbroker,
handing back the box and its precious
contents.
The owner replaced the cover and his
treasure back into his pocket and start
ed toward the door. At the threshold
he halted, appeared to be debating with
himself for a moment, and at length
turned again to the pawnbroker.
WELL" said he, with careless air,
"take it and give me the 800. I'll
make that do" With that he handed
out the box once more, received a ticket
and 800 in cash, and disappeared. An
hour later Mr.. Eppstein thought he
would have look at the gold, and took
it out of the safe. To make assurance
dOubly sure, he again tested it. The
first nugget proved to be silver, very
neatly gilded. Another and another
were examined in like manner until the
whole had been gone through, and every
nugget was found to be of the same
character, the whole being worth a
fraction over 81.
The trick was now transparent. The
pretended miner was in reality very
clever swindler, who had two boxes,
one containing the pure gold and the
other the gilded silver, which he ex-
changed a. the time he pretended to de-
cline the offer of 800. He made his
escape, and Mr.. Eppstein philosophlcally
pocketed his loss Of S96.-Detrot Free

Young Fielding is about fifteen years Of
age, with . bright, handsome face,
pleasing manners, and Of evident intel
ligence. His father is wealthy land
owner in Hampshire, an English gentle
man of family and position. Richard
had been sent to school in Dorset, where
Bracebridge Hemyng's- wonderful lies
about the happy issues of all Jack Hark-
away's adventures fell into his hands,
and were eagerly perused. The natural
result followed. He longed to emulate
the romantic glory of Jack 3 impossible
actions, and yearned for field to dis
play, as Jack had done, the herOism and
pluck which he supposed that he pos
sessed. Unfortunately his father had no
influence with the Board of Admiralty,
or the boy might have gone into the
navy and found q legitimate channel in
which to develop his adventur-
GUS longings. AS it was, Rich
ard determined to run away
and 60 to sea. Tying up the customary
bundle the little fellow slipped away and
went to Liverpool. Here he found it
impossible to ship in any capacity, but,
determined to go to sea at all hazards,
he slowed away in the hold of a
Mediterranean fruit brig bound to Mes
sina. He was discovered, and, after I'M
dergoing no end of abuse from the Cap

swabbing the decks, scraping the masts,
and tarring down the rigging, and on
every calm was put over the side to
scrub the copper. Before arriving at
Messina he was one day tarring down
the jib stay, swung in a bOatswain's
chair, when the man who was attending
to the hosting rope carelessly lost his
hold, and Dick was precipitated to the
deck, falling on the anchor stock and on
the rail. His arm and leg were broken,
and he bounded into the water. He was
rescued, however, and, after being free
ly cursed by the Captain for the deten-
ton of the vessel which the accident
had caused, he was passed below, where,
without any medical treatment. he was
permitted to STAY till the vessel arrived
at port, fortunately only "a hours af-
terward. He then went to the hospital,
where incompetent physicians dressed
his limbs, and after three months he
was discharged. penniless and without

POETRY.
[For the Press.l
A Goddess. in Troy.


IL is SO long, so long that have lain
With earth upon my eyelids. and my breast,
Let me little, little longer rest
Ipray We put the gray earth back again!
Days after days have fallen dull as lead:
And sleep is heavy with the weight of years,
sleep that waketh not to hopes nor fears,
Unknown of any dreams-so sleep the dead.
To ears that have not listened for 50 long
A sound came strangely-voices and a stroke,
And with dim new sense of life L woke;
All leave me a little longer-ye do me wrongi
A place made pleasant on the earth had,
A little temple set, and marble-stoned;
Above its Intel sat gray doves and moaned,
About its threshold harmless birds were glad.
Along its frieze were carven trooping Loves,
And some blew pipes and others seemed to sing,
And some with sweet shut mouths looked listening
The low recurring coo of the grooming doves.
About the temple was garden close,
Its hedges bore gold apples, such as won
The fleettoot maiden for Milanion-
All me, think to see the very rose
That held pink petals upward in the sun!
Then many maids came up the wide green way
Gold hair with vioets at my feet to lay;
And when the praise and song and dance were done
A cloud came unawares across the light,
wind blew past the rose, it fell apart;
And on the stem was only left its heart,
Its gold heart bare before my saddened sight.
All these least things come in my mind so clear
Next as 1 think, saw a fair white star,
Mine eyes seemed struck Of spears; it was so far
Yet how it pricked my lids, as very near,
The air was filed of great white wings upleft,
And harpstrings struck to singing as they came
Thin hens Of robes round white feet moving swift
Trembled as air quivers about flame;
My blown sweet flutes failed wholly from mine ears
The violets scared to ash, the gold crisp hair
Grew gray and wanna light might not bear
Fell suddenly, was as dead for fears.
I have no memory more about that day
For even the gods are best that they forget,
think a seal forever must be set
Above some days. We all were laid away
AS things outworn. We had little time
A little power and little praise,
Then all we wandered, shades in desolate ways
How the wind blows the leaves up on that lime,
1t is so strange to feel the air again
The hills of the dead are dim wherein we sit
Lacking the sun, and light and heat of it
Asphodes need be pale. Why, mark the pain
Of losing suddenly song of man and maid,
And praise at dawn and at the days end praise,
And sun and stars, and moon and morn of days
And air and fire, and slow sweet gathering shade
And feet upon firm earth, and warm strong hands,
And joy that was fame and lit of life!
They are stronger, are stronger than we, nor any
strife
Can bring men back to,bind them in our bands.
And yet pray ye still that ye shall keep
A little love forgods that once were glad;
We are wiser now-anu yet ye surely had
Love for me-that We sought me out OF sleep!
