threw its fore. feet into the air, and
brought the vehicle to the very edge of
the bridge. Broughton jerked out an oath,
pulled the nearer rein, and once more
brought the lash down on the horses

fear escaped him. Once more the horse
reared, dragging the vehicle half over
the dizzy edge. and then leaped right

Ralph came up Just in time to see
the terrible accident, and was breasting
the cold waters of the Allegheny in a

woman he loved, or to die in the
attempt.
Well, to make long story short, he
saved her and married her. In falling,
Broughton's head came in contact with

Marblehead died, four years after Alice's
marriage, sealed manuscript, in ac-
cordance with his will, was handed to
her, and she was Mortified to discover
that he was the murderer of her father,
John Geary, whom he had robbed of a
large quantity of gold; and that, un-
able to part with the ill-gotton wealth,
he had sought out Geary's widow, who
was just on the point of death, adopted
her child, and had hoped to cheat his
conscience by treating her kindly. Dis
covered by man who was aware of his
guilt, Marblehead had given him the
slip, settling and succeeding in Pitts
burg, where, when her education was
completed, Alice, whom he had taught
to regard him as her uncle, also came
to reside. The rest has been told.

Neglected Children.
Rural Sum-

Many mother has wept over the sins
of her child, little dreaming that while
she pursued her round of idle pleasures,
that child was taking its first lesson in
sin from the example of vicious nurse.
The truth is, parents take upon them
selves too many unnecessary burdens,
and consider themselves bound by duty
to perform too many tasks, which are of
much less consequence than the teaching
and training of their children. The
father has his trade or profession, and
his few leisure hours he must spend in
social pleasure. The mother has her
household cares, and the comforts of her
family to study; and besides this there is
much time to be devoted to fancy work,
visitors, and to amusements of one kind
and another. Her children are mere
secondary considerations, and depend
upon the kindness of hirelings. Their
dresses may be miracles of putting, ruff
fes and embroidery, but what does that
count when their minds are dwarfed
through neglect? Her house may be the
model of neatness, her bread excel thai
of all her neighbors, her jellies and pre-
serves enough to tempt the most fastid
iou.; but if in all this she has kept aloo
from her child, has chilled his hear
towards her, what does it count?

MOST persons would agree that the
rose has enough in its perfume and
beauty to sustain its pretensions to be
queen of flowers; but it seems that the
rose can be made exquisite also to a
third sense. Not long ago confection
of rose petals was served to Emperor
William. 1t was the gift of an English
lady, and came from Alexandria, where
the rose thus prepared is considered a
strengthening as well as delicate dish !;
but Egyptian cooks are said to be the
only ones who understand the art of
preparing it, and the right species of
rose for this purpose grows only in that
region. A Smyrna house, however, ek-
ports a jelly of roses. Perhaps research
might find way of converting other
flowers besides Eastern roses into delicate
food. In that case, cookery and fori-
culture would strike up closer alliance
than now seems possible for them to
have.

By IurHER q. NOES.

Now memory strays to old-time days,
Fraught with alternate Joy and pain:
see through haze Of woodland ways,
The suns that ne'er will rise again.
NO, nevermore, by sea or Shore
Will Times spent waves my sad soul kiss,
NOT on this shore, forevermore,
VIII thrill my heart with untold bliss.
The by-gone days, like wandering wfna., <.
With vanished hopes-a goodly train,
Lave left sad memories behiod,
AND still their fateful ghosts remain;
out Dy-gone smiles are with me STILL
with all their radiant, hallowed light,
And while climb life's rugged hill,
NO cloud shall shadow their sweet sight.
The hour has come. the cherished hour,
when, from the busy world set free,
seek az length my lonely boEer,.-----
ana muse in rapturons love of theel
And oh, how sweet to know that still,
Though severed from thee widely far,
Our mindsthe self-same thought can fill,
Our eyes yet seek the self-same star.
Compulsion, from its destined course
The magnet may awhile detain,
But when no more withheld by force,
1t irembles 10 the north again:
SO, though the idle world may hold
Ny tettered thoughts awhile from thee,
To thee they spring, when uncontrolled,
With undiyerted eonstancy.
The faithful dove, where'er by day,
Through fields Of air, her pinions rove,
Still seeks, when daylight dies away,
The shelter of her native grove:
Sol this calm, this silent hour,
Whate'er The changing scenes see,
Ny heart, its weary wanderings DER,
Returns unaltered still to thee.
With eyes sufused with memory's tears,

Til family loves fair barque appears,

For 1t I've watched a weary year
This treasure ship Of wealth untold;

With Its rich freight of finest gold.

Coming down on the X. and d. M. r.
R., the other day, a benevolent old gen.
tleman, finding the car crowded, ambled
up to a woman who was occupied by a
baby, and in return was occupying two
seats, one for herself and the infant to
sit on, the other, with the back turned,
for bandbox, and few of the inevita-
BILE parcels, which a woman always car

small to hold what she wants to travel
with, or travels with SO many wants that
she can't find valises enough 10 hold
them.

"no," and the b. 0. g., not being ac-
customed to reading looks, slid into
the seat and heamed pleasantly on
the lady. Presently silence grew
monctonous, and the elderly individual
amid the clatter of the wheels and
the rattle of the rails, spoke up and
said:

with a cold stare, & I can hold it my.
