THE BALLAD OF CONSTANCE.

THE BALLAD OF CONSTANCE.
With diamond dew the grass was wet,
Twas in the Egring, and gentlest weather.
And all thu birts of morning met.
Aad carroIled in her heart together.
II.
THE wind blew softly DER the land,
And softly kissed the joyous ocean:
He walked beside her, on the sand,
And gave and won hearts devotion.
III.
The th istlsduwn was in the breeze,
With birds of passage homewapd flying:
His fortune called him DER the seas,
Asd ON the shore he left her signing.
IY.
She eaw his baraue glide down the bay
Through tears and fears she could not banIsh;
She saw his white sails melt away
She Baw them fade; she saw them vanish,
Y.
Ard "Go" she said SER winds are fair,
And love and blessings round you hover !:
When you sail backward through the air
Then will trust the the werd of lover"
VI.
Still obbed ana flowed the tide of years,
NOW chilled with SHOWS, now bright with roses
ABd many smiles we're turned 10 tears,
And Rombr6 moTns TO radiant closes.
VII
many ships came gliding by,
With many golden promise freighted:
But neverInoTe from sea or sky
Came love to bless her heart that waited.
VII.
Yet on by tender patience led,
Her sacred footsteps walked unbhdsn,
Wherever sorrow bows its head,
Or want and care and shame are hidden.
And they who saw her snow-whts hair,
Ard dark sad eyes, 30 deep with feeling,
Breathed all at once the chancel air,
And seemed To hear the organ pealing
Till once, at shut Of autumn day,
In marble chill she paussd and harkened,
With startled gaze where far away
The waste Of sky and ocean darkened
XI.
There for o moment, faint and wan,
High up in air, and landward striving,
stsnl-foro spectral barque on,
Across the purple sunset driving.
Mi.
Then something out Of night she know,
Some whisper heard, FROM heaven descended,
And peacefully fals the dew
Her long and lonely vigil ended.
XIII.
The violet and the bramkle-rOEe
Make glad the grass that dreams above her;
And freed frOm time and all it's woes,
She trusts again the word Of lover.

A NICE YOUNG MAN.
The County Clerks Office Robbed by
an EmplOye.

Ever since Mr.. Lewis G. Bernard took
charge of the County Clerks office, he has
had in his employ young man named
William Brown, who was assigned a desk
for recording papers belonging to the above
ot1lce. The situation was given to Brown
Tor his assistance in placing Bernard in his
office.
Months ago Brown became addicted to
drink, and has been steadily going to the
bad, Yesterday morning, before the ar
rival of the clerks in Bernard office, Brown
entered the room and distracted q pile OF
greenbacks from Mr.. McDonough's desk.
The loss was at once discovered on the lat
ter's arrival.
Suspicion was aroused that Bill Brown
had something to do with the abstraction of
the money.
Mr.. Frank Goble, the day watchman of
the Courthouse, was notified and he started
in pursuit of Brown. He had noticed that
at an early hour in the morning Brown
had thrown a package into sewer on Court
street, near Main. Mr.. Goble tisled this
package out, thinking that it contained
some OF the missing money. 1t only con
tanned some papers and some rubbererase
MIR. GOble then proceeded to a saloon i'll
the neighborhood of Eighth and Main
oViSSto, Nhclc lo lOuuu bloWu pretty
drunk,
He aroused him and accused him of the
larceny Of the money. Brown began to Cry
and denied it, but after Mr. Goble and Mr.
McDonough, who was with him, kept on &C
cusing him, Brown wanted to go to the
yard, but was detained in the saloon. The
barkeeper then stated that he had seen
Brown with big roll of money in his
hands
Brown succumbed and acknowledged the
whole affair, but begged that nothing be
said about it.
Mr. Goble scached his pockets and recov-
cred $27 of the money.
Brown stated to STAR reporter last even.
ing that he had taken but $35 and had spent
s. of this amount. He said in the presence
of several Courthouse officials that he had
gone into the Clerks office and finding
McDonough's drawer open, saw the pile OF
money and thought that he might as well
take it as any one else. Brown repeatedly
made these statements last evening around
the Courthouse.
1t is claimed, however, that Brown took
more than $35 as $43 had been in the draw
er that morning, and that all of that sum
was missing on the Clerk 5 arrival
Something strange about the affair i:
that Brown has been kept so long in Clerk
Demands employ, and also that he was not
arrested. Why?

the greatness of the man. I was very

which he gave in one of the prayer

character of his piety He stated that
he had recently been travelling in the
wilds of ArkanSas-his mind was OPP
pressed, his heart sad He had been
driven from his family and home by the
invading foe, and could not hear of their
welfare, and it seemed to him that clouds
and darkness had completely enveloped
him. In this state of heart he ap-
preached an old loe-cabin in a very di-
lapidated condition As he drew nearer
he distinguished the sound of some
female singing Nearer, my God, to
thee He at once alighted and went
in, for the sound seemed to enter his
very soul He there found the singer,
a poor old widow woman, in the midst
of poverty, but who was happy in spite
of her loneliness and want He felt
and said that if am old widow in such
want could sing such song, that Ger
tainly he could. He gave to the wind
his fears-his full confidence in an over
ruling Providence was brought into
lively exercise, and from that day he
went on singing, Nearer, my God, te
thee" This simple personal narrative
made deeper impression on my MIND
than even the rich sermons he preached
and with which l was delighted. And
now doubtless he sings in nobler strain
as he gazes with ineffable pleasure upol
the glory of the Infinite, Nearer, m,
