RETURNED AFTER MANY YEARS.

When the rebellion broke out. young
man, twenty-one years of age. named
Ernest Gourd, left his mother and two
sisters III New York, enlisted and went
to war. After time he was transferred
from the army to the navy, and, after
passing through several engagements,
was reported to have been drowned in
one of the vessels that were sunk. All
his relatives and friends believed this
report excepting his mother, who asserted
until her death that her Ernest was
still living and would come home some
day. She could give no reason for en-
tertaining this hope. but she reiterated
her conviction that he was alive on her
death bed IN 1868. Years passed. and
her prediction remained unfulflled.
Some weeks ago. however, the young
mans two sisters. who lived in Mount
Vernon. received letter from Philadel-
phla. signed with their brothers name,
and informing them that he was still
alive and was married. The sisters re-
fused to believe that the writer was really
their missing brother. They accordingly
replied to the letter to that effect, and
received another communication, in which
particulars of family history we're cited
as proof of the writer's identity. Not
withstanding the plausible character of
the evidence thus adduced. the sisters
still doubted, and wrote again that thcy
must continue to doubt unless the writer
should come to the city and prove his
relationship in person. On Decoration
Day their brother came on from Phila-
delphia, and removed all doubts as to
his identity. He said he had sought
unsuccessfully for his mother and sisters.
and had finally abandoned his efforts to
find them. He had been married twice
since he had been given up as lost, and
he now has two children.

THE MARRIED MAN.

Adown the street the married man
Starts off with hurried tread,
But from the door wifely voice
Calls. "Don't forget the bread"
He smiles and mods. and turns to go,
That careless married man,
When loud the servant calls him, "Ohi
You haven't got the cant"
He mods again, in fretful style,
But pulleth down his hat;
And 10. his sister, with a smile,
Cries. Wont you bring my hat?"
"0h. yes" he shouts, and. truth to tell,
He need not shout 80 loud;
But shrill his son, with stunning yell,
Theatre tickets for the crowd ~
His daughter. from the window high,
Estops him with a call.
She wants fan, pair of gloves,
And new pink parasol.
He hears no more, far down the street,
His echoing footsteps fly;
And all day long, in measure fleet,
He huns, Sweet buy and buy"
But when the evening respite brings,
And his days toll is done,
Though told to get hundred things,
He hasn't got one.

AFTER.

After the shower, the tranquil sun;
Silver stars when the day is done.
After the snow the emerald leaves;
After the harvest, golden sheaves;
After the clouds the violet sky;
Quiet woods when the wind goes by.
After the tempest, the lull of waves ;
After the battle, peaceful graves;
After the knell, the wedding bells,
Joyful greeting from sad farewells.
After the bud, the radiant rose;
After our weeping, sweet repOse;
After the burden. the blissful mead
After the furrow, the waking seed;
After the fight, the downy nest;
Over the shadowy rlver-rest.

A CRAZY MANS EXPLOITS.

Shelton M. Thompson, who weighs
200 pounds. stands six feet three inches
in his CATERS, and is thirty years old,
created a great sensation at Flint the 9TH
er day. He called at the house of Chas.
Smith, was recognized as an old &C
quaintance, and he seemed as sane as
any other private citizen. Bedtime came
and he was assigned couch and babe
"good night" A little later he appear
ed again and began to relate sad tale
of domestic troubles. He said he was an
outcast and wanderer. Suddenly he
became excited and threatened suicide.
A neighbor who happened in tried to get
him to leave. At this the man pulled
out large knife and attempted to cut
his own throat. 1t was then necessary
to call in the sheriff and his deputy.
They responded, and all fell upon him
simultaneously, but he seemed possessed
of the strength and fury of demon, and
hurled them to the floor as if they were
infants. Sheriff Phillips struck him twice
in the face with a pair of handouts with
all his might, and officer Miller struck
him terrific blow with heavy hickory
club, but the blows seemed to make no
impression upon him. He then started
up the stairs, followed by the officers,
who drew revolvers upon him, but before
they could fire he knocked them down
stairs in mass, and disappeared quick
ly through door leading into a large
garret. Here he intrenched himself,
barricading the door and blocking the
stairway with bedstead. All night eff
forts were made to dislodge him, but
they were of no avail, and at daylight
he was still "holding the fort" armed
with large knife and heavy club.
The neighborhood was aroused by his
yelling, and by nine o'clock the house
was surrounded by an excited crowd Of
several hundred. Various stratagems
were tried by couple of doctors-one
allopathic and the other homeopathic
such as suffocating him with gas, am
monia, etc., but his dexterity at hurling
clubs rendered it very unsafe for the man
who took the lead with the squirt-gur
and chloroform. Throwing red pepper
into his eyes from outside window wa:
also tried, but unsuccessfully. Every
little while some one would volunteer tt
90 up and fetch him out if dozen OF
more would 60 with him, but it was not
until the forenoon was nearly consumed
that the requisite number of volunteer
was obtained. The prisoner had nov
nearly exhausted his stock of clubs an(
had broken up the bedstead for ammu
milton. This left the stairway clear, an(
a joint rush being made up the stair
and through the scuttle hole from tn
outside, the prisoner, faint with ammoni;
and chloroform, was overpowered, hand
cuffed and borne to Jail in triumph.-De
troit Tribune.

RELIEF FOR NEURALGIA.-As this
dreadful disease is becoming more prev
alent than formerly, and as the doctors
have not discovered any method or med
icine that will permanently cure it, We
simply state that for some time past q
member Of our family has suffered most
intensely from it. and could find no sure
relief from an article which we publish
ed. recommending the application of
bruised horse radish to the wrist for
toothache. AS neuralgia and toothache
are both nervous diseases, we thought
the remedy for the one would be likely
to give relief to the other. SO we made
the application of horse-radish bruised,
and applied to the wrist on the side Of
the body where the disease was seated,
which gave instant relief to severe at
tack of neuralgia. Since then we have
applied it several times, and with the
same gratifying results. The remedy il
simple, cheap and may be within the
reach of every one.-Enchange.
Courting is good enough; we never
will say word against it. But its ten
dency is to make man narrow-minded

pretty, so sweet. SO kind, SO everything
as she; her eyes are the brightest. he
hair the glossiest. her every act abov'
compare. Now witness the broadening
effects of marriage. Not many moon
shall have waxed and waned ere he find
that other women are just tri6e goot
and pretty, and not altogether sour
that their eyes are not wholly lustreless
or their hair without gloss; that thei
acts. many of them, are not withou
charm. Broad and broader will grow
his views as the years revolve, until a
last be shall find himself admiring score
and scores of women for the very trait
he had supposed Ann Maria to exclu
sively possess.-Boston Transcript.

Gabriel.
Once let the angel blow
A peal from the parted heaven,
The FIRST of seven
For the time is come that was foretold
So long ago!
As the avalanche gathers, huge and cold,
From the down of the harmless snow,
The years and the ages gather and hang
Fill the day when the word is spoken:
When they that dwell in the end of time
Are smitten alike for the early crime,
As the vitals of wrath are broken
Yes, the time hath come;
Though earth is rich, her children are dumb!
Ye cry: "Beware
OF the dancers floating hair,
And the cymbals clash, and the sound of pipe
and drumW
But the prophet cries: "Bcware
OF the hymn unheard, the unanswered prayer; ;
For ignorance is past,
And, knowledge comes at last,
And the burden it brings to you how can ye
bear"
Again let the angel blow!
The seals are loosened that seemed TO bind
The futures bliss and woe!
For shrinking SOUL an uncertain mind,
For eyes that see but are growing blind,
Your landmarks fade and change;
The colors to-day you borrow
Take another hue tomorrow;
The forms of your faith are wild and strange!
Walking, you stagger to and fro;
So, let the angel blow!
All, shall the angel blow?
Something must have remained,
Something fresh and unstained,
Sprung from the common soil where the vir-
tues grow;
Nay, it is not so!
Art succumbs to the coarser sense;
Greed o'ercometh sweet abstinence;
OF vices your young men talk,
In scarlet your women walk,
And the soul of honor that made you proud,
The lofier grace your lives avowed,
Are passive corpse and a tattered shroud;
What you forget'can your children know?
So, let the angel blow!
Yes, let the angel blow!
A peal from the parted heaven,
The first OF seven!-
The warning, not yet the sign OF woe
That men arise
And look about them with wakened eyes,
Behold on their garments the dust and slime,
Refrain, forbear,
Accept the weight of nobler care
And take reproach from the fallen time!
-Bayard Taylor, In Scrtbner.
