NIGHT.

Night came down DER all the earth.
And took the tired Day,
And clasped her tightly in her arms,
And bore her far away.
The moon Ike some vast lighthouse seemed,
Fsrup In the Milky Way;
The giistening stars like tiny barks.
AT anchor round herlay-
And like a single silver thread
That twines in some dark curl.
The river wound through trees and brakes,
A cleaning band Of pearl
heard soft low dip Of oars,
Like . weary low heart-throb;
And the wavelets lspped the bow of the tolt
A low half-orokcu sob.
And on that night, 50 long ago,
vision wondruus sweet
Came to me In its fullest Joy,
So perfect and complete.
o golden dream why did wake
To find it past and gone
The dream was like glorious day;
The waking, cold gray dawn.
'Twere better far that had diei
Believing IL were true,
'rwere better far TO sleep for aye
Beneath the sky so blue,
Than live, when each long weary day
Seems longer than before;
When life Is but constant pain
wound unheaied and sore.
The river still flows muzyasrins on;
The stars are just a. bright
As when the vision came 10 me
That -esGfal summer night.
The same: Yes. alone am changei.
Oh God each weary day
wish that had died the mig ht
The vision passed away.

APainful Scene tn a Courtroom.

Charles F. Fredericks, night distribu-
ton clerk in the Newark IN. J.) Post
Office, who was detected in stealing let
tiers, was brought before Commissioner
Whitehouse in Newark. The father of
Fredericks, who is more than seventy
years of age, came in and was led to the
chair where the prisoner was seated. For
a moment he stood trembling before him
and then resting his hands on the shoul-
ders of his son said: 20 Charles, Char
les, you have, you have. Your mother is
gone, but before she died she said you
would some time break my heart. When
the wife and child Of the accused man en-
tered the room, the wife, regardless of
these present, threw herself into his arms
and cried: "Charlcs, have you done this2
And have we been living upon these
thefts2'' "This was the first time," was
the answer. The next moment his al
most-frenzted wife was upon her knees
before the Commissioner, and cried out in
an agony Of grief: Kill me, murder nc !!
do what you will, but let me have my
Charlie!" She was hardly conscious when
taken from the room. Examination was

; $500, or $3.50 for the apprehension Of

either. -
A short time since the Marshal of Dres-
den appeared at q little mining-town,
Navarro, and, thinking Ike Linton was
at work in the mine, the men were or
dered out from the mine and, as they filed
by, the Marshal recognized his old prison
or: The local paper says of what follows:
McLaren tapped him on the shoulder
and laughed.
swell, Ike, I'm looking for you.'
Ike recognized McLaren and turned
very pale.
"Let me put on my boots, Wcss!" he
said. He put on his boots and asked the
Marshal If he could 20 home and see his
wife and child before he was taken away
from them.
"Of course, Ike; where do you live?"
lie led the way to comfortable little
dwelling, and as they entered the door his
wife saw the changed manner of her hus-
band ard knew Immediately what had
happened. Ike had told her long before
that he was liable to be arrested at anv
time. He kissed his little daughter.
Mary, called so after his mother, and shed
tears. The little girl is about ten months
old, and his wife, whom he married about
two years subsequent to his escape from
| the Perry County Prison, is tidy, good
looking woman. She seemed very much
cast down by her husbands misfortune.
The Marshal was himself visibly effected.
Linton washed his grimy hands clean of
the coal-dirt and changed his clothes.
The Marshal then hurried him away.
1t appears that Ike Linton, known by
his neighbors rs "Bill Burris, had gained
the good will Of the Navarro community
by honest, upright behavior, sober, indus
trious habits, and was we'll thought of.
Last Tuesday Ike Linton, handcuffed
and in charge of Marshal McLaren, was
conveyed, on the morning train, through
Dresden to New Lexington, where is stu
ated the Perry County Jail. He was
lodged in cell after being allowed to see
Jim Linton. who shook hands with him,
| but did not deign to recognize Marshal
| McLaren.
Jim Linton was captured about week
previous to Ike's arrest. When found, he
had a contract for getting out railroad
| ties and was at work not far from In
| dianapo!is, Ind. His wife had lived with
HIM only week when he was arrested,
the detectives having trailed her to his
hiding place.
Ike Linton says it is unjust to blame
anyone for their escape from the Jail for
they received no outside assistance, but
dug their way out with case-knife.
The men have lived for four years in
peace with their neighbors, and Ike in
particular is very we'll spoken of by all.
Since all had been accomplished that
! prison discipline could be expected to do.
| it remains to be seen whether Ohio will
add any more chapters to this actual
lies Miserables; tragedy, which, thus
far, cannot fail to impress one as a parallel
| to Victor Hugos great work.
The Cincinnati Times very justly calls
upon Gov. Bishop to grant a pardon to
these rccaptured convicts, and not run any
risk in turning out a: the end Of the sent
ence two men who will in all probability
be insensiblc to all human feeling, judy
