Singular Result Of Fright,

Wednesday morning, as Mr.. Moses
walker of Milford, Mass was brushing
some rubbish from shelf at his factory
he placed his hand upon a large live
rat. lie was startled thereat, and soon
after commenced bleeding at the nose,
the shock probably causing rush Of
blood to the head. The bleeding con.
tlnued for over four hours, when it was
checked. About an hour later the blood
began TO flow again, and continued an.
other hour before it dould he stopped.
Mr. Walker is weak from the loss OF
blood.-Boston Globe.

Then there was silence q moment,
while she looked at the gorgeous illum-
nation of the azure on the peacock s
breast, and feare that Phil would hear
her heart beating.
/" Marcia" said he, presently, getting
hold of her hand somehow, "you are

Forty wears of sun and showers
on tie Young, half opened flowers
Forty wears of mist and rain,
Curdling through the vine wreathed lane
Since the days you smiled at me
With YOUR bIue eyes, JeSsamy;
While the faint, first, uniformed note
From the wee hedge warbler's throat,
Floated past us, with the first
Perfumes that from closed buds burst;
Forty years have backward roAed,
To an April sunset, cold,
When kept a parting trYSt

With the grass plat tor our feet
And the bOugh betw1Xt the sun,
And the glad kiss had won
While the clustered vines flung down
Shadow leaflets on your gown;
Forty years and still your eyes
Shine betwixt me and the skies,
Blue and white like violets: see,
Through the bent boughs Of the tree
Flicker rays of shifting gold;
Is it but ribbons fold,
or a tress of floating hair
Little sweetheart, are you there?
Has she come at length to me,
My Jessamy:

Homeward, lonely, through the lane,
Vain to watch, to hope again,
That the old things shall be new;

On the flowers to bitter frost,
In the chill fields we have crossed.

What is this mile stone, white,
Cleaning in the low, sad light?
Part the grassl o, tears be still
In this nook below the hill
Lies the maid loved-aye, Lowell
While the curled vines coil above
Lips and cheeks that have kissed,
So at last she keeps her tryst-

SCHREEL'S SENSATION

Punctured by His Safe Return HOme-His
Absence Explained by n Business Trip to
st. Cloud and Fargo.
A solution to tho profound but short-lived
mystery surrounding the apparently unac-
countable disappearance of Mr.. John Schreil
was forthcoming in the person Of that gen.
tleman yesterday, who materialized in q per-
fectly healthy condition at his residence in
this city. Not the least remarkable incident
of this peculiar case is the fact that while
his family we're almost distracted at his dis
appearance, Mr.. Schreil was going about his
business in the most unconcerned manner in
the world.
The circumstances connected with his al
legged mysterious disappearance from his
residence on last Wednesday morning have
already been given to the public, and in this
connection there is nothing material to add,
the only discrepancy being between the sto-
ries related by Mr.. and Mrs. Shriel. During
an interview with the latter on Thursday
last, the writer was informed that Mr.. Shriel
had left home without disclosing his inten-
tons or leaving any clue to his whereabouts.
On the other hand, the reporter was In.
formed by Mr.. Shriel yesterday that before
leaving home he had remarked that he vaa
going away on business, both stories being
given for whot they may be worth.
In the course Of conversation held with
Mr.. Schrlel on yesterday, the reporter was
informed that he had left for st. Cloud on
Wednesday morning, and after transacting
his business at that point he started for
Fargo, returning from thence on yesterday.
He had no idea of the alarm occasioned by
his absence, and while pleased with the salts:
factory accounts given of his absence in the
GLOBE, he was highly indignant at the CEN
serious allusion to his personal affairs made
by irresponsible city papers.
