A STRANGE ROMANCE.
London Telegraph. g,

That "trutI is stranger than fic.
tion'' is once more aptly excmplificd
by the following curious narrative,
which reaches the Malone from its
correspondent at Lucca:
"Some years ago II native of Casa
maggiore emigrated to America, leav-
ing behind him his wife and two
children. Shortly after his arrival in
the States, where he promptly found
lucrative employment, he sent LOG
lire to the minister of his native place,
to be by him conveyed to his family.
A few months later this remittance
was followed by q second Of 1905
lire and at subsequent periods other
sums were forwarded in the same
manner, to the total amount Of 25,-
NO lire, or G1,OOO. The minister,
however, to whom all this money was
transmitted, put it into his own pock-
ct. One day, having come to the
conclusion that he had derived suffi-
cicnt profit from his agency, he sent
for the woman and informed her with
many consolatory reflections, that her
husband was dead. About the satre
time he wrote t0the emigrant, stat
ing that the lattef's wife and children
had succumbed to an epidemic which
had all but depopulated Cassamag-
giore, and inclosed in his letter an
official certificate of their death and
burial. 1t appears that after awhile
the emigrant, believing himself to be
a widower, married again. He pros
pered in business, became a wealthy
man, and a few months ago deter
mined to revisit the place of his birth.
In due time he arrived with his Sec
ond wife and children at Cassamag-
giore, where he took up his quarters
at the principal inn. Strolling out to
look up some Of his old acquaintan-
ces, little beggar boy followed him
importuning him for aims. Some
thing in the child's appearance ar
rested his attention. He asked the
boy his name, and found him to be
his own son. Further inquiry soon
elected the fact that his wife and two
children were living, but in the ut
most poverty and distress. The rev.
ercnl embezzler, when confronted
with his victim, offered to refund the
25,WW lire; but the affair had come to
the knowledge of the police authori-
ties, who refused to permit any COM
promise, and arrested the holy man,
against whom proceedings have been
taken by the State. Meanwhile his
unfortunate ex-parishioner finds him
self saddlcd with two living wives
and families, between whose claims
upon his affection aud support there
is cquitably speaking nothing to
choose either way"

BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, JANUARY 10, $780,

knife he could have ripped them open.
But there was no hope, fighting
with hls naked hands. His blood had
already dyed the snow, and the smell
and taste of 1t made the brutes furi-
GUS. Their 1.-the, heavy bodies were
hurled against him, as if impelled by
some power not their own, and finally
they pulled him down. The sweets
Of this earth, the mystery Of heaven,
swept through poor Henreich's mind;
nay, in those brief, terrible moments,
the particulars found time to intrude.
1t is often, very often, thus in the
moment Of death. He thought how
his devoted Mary would watch
through the vigil-how his mangled
remains would tell his fate IN the
morning-a life's despair for the
mother Of the helpless little ones. All
these things rushed through his
brain, and he knew that he himself
was in the jaws Of the wolves.
Then those foul, lurid eyes glared
over him; the tightening Of the throat
followed, and thinking was finished.
Still he struggled to release his arms
the grasp on his throat was choking
him; bis senses reeled; when, like
the wlIizzing Of meteor, another
hard-breathing animal shot in among
the assailants and fastened itself on
tie chief. The wolves for an instant
relaxed their fury; Henreich reeled
giddy to his feet and recognized his
brave dog. For u moment he stood
bewildered when he saw the wolf re-
treating, and the other two attacking
his dauntless dog. He turned tohelp
him, and bright object caught his
eye; it was his hatclret lying on the
snow, within an arms length of the
lastterrible struggle. Henreich snatch
ed it up, and was himself again. His
arms were bleeding, but their giant
strength remained. The next instant
he had split the skull of one Of the
wolves, and now he turned, like the
madman that was, upon the fierce
animal that had borne his faithful dog
to the ground. The first blow laid
bare the gaunt backbone, tho next
gave his throat a terrible cash, and
the third loosened his fearful grip
upon the dog. Still he struggled
fiercely, when Henreich sprang upon
the animal, and cut, and hacked, and
slashed until the wolf was mince- meat.
AS he arose, a hand was on his
shoulder, and turning, hand was Oh
his bosom.
"Henreich ~
"Maryw
Long did the young people stand in
speechless embrace; but the weaker
supported the stronger, for Hcnreic|l's |
manly nerves were gone, and he lean
cd upon Mary like helpless child.
The arrival Of the frightened horse
aroused his wife, and the moment she
opened the door, the dog rushed forth,
led by his kindly instinct. Mary fled
wildly after him, not pausing to bring
the rifle. But this, it has been shown,
was not needed.

IN THE LASTPEW.

She sits, bent DER, with wrinkled face,
Poor md foriornly old; no grace
Smooths tho sharp angles Of her form,
Long buheted by life's slow storm.
All else around is fine and fair;
The stained light FALLS golden glare,
In seeming mockery on her loose, grey hair.
The preacher, hultlessly arr.yed,
Tells how our hearts afar have Strayed,
And how all souls should be content
With those good blessings God has sent.
And one, Of all that selfpoised throng,
Hangs on his words nor deems them long,
And humbly thinks only her heart IL wrong.
She msekly mumbles DER the hymn
Her eyes with sge and tssr.drops dim;
This worn and weary worshiper!
Now, rustling down the iisle IN pride,
They toss bright smiles on every side,
Nor does she know the hurts such fair looks hid,
And still she sits with her tear.wet face,
Az 10th 70 leave that sacred place;
The organ with quick thunders riveu,
Lifts her sad trembling soul to heaven;
She feels sense Of blissful rest,
Her bony hands across her breast
She clasps and lowiy sighs, God knoweth best! =
One day, within some grandcr gate,
Where kings and ministers must wait,
While she hopes humbly for low place
Far from the dear. Lords shining face,
Above the chant Of heavenly choir
These words may sound with gracious fro:
We'll done; good, faithful servant, come up
higher"

KISS ME- SWEET.
BY Mrs. c. II. SCRANTON.

BY MRs. c. II. SCRANTON.
Put your arm around me, darling,
Little arms 10 dimpled, fair;
Lift your little face 20 charming,
Framed in rings Of golden hair.
Kiss me sweet, my precious treasure,
Look love from your eyes 80 true
Stolen rays they are, Of azure,
Bits of heavens own CfOud1ess blue.
Cherry lips that oft carses me,
Give me one sweet kiss tonight;
You are all on earth that's left me,
Do not loves own prayer slight.
Only just two years, my darling,
Since with folded wings you came;
Years I thought would be NO charming.
But instead were full Of pain
Yes, and uttef desolation,
Save for you, my fair.hailed bt's;
UlVe me, Jnen, III &lutAtIOu,
Kisses sweet, without alloy.
You will never know, my dear one,
How that mild September day
Left my heart 20 sad and lonesome,
As winged angels bore away,
Far beyond our early vision,
Far up through tho ether blue
Took to bask In fields elysian,
Papa's spirit, tried and true
But, my darling he was ready,
Waiting for tho summons, too.
Oft he said in voice unsteady,
why dost bind me 30 to you!
Don't long to be with Jesus,
Free from earthly care and pain.
And you know, if Him 1t pleascs!!g
Very soon Wen meet again."
And the angels ope'd the gateway,
Pearly gates, with bars Of gold.
And III arms Of love they straightway
Bore him to the heavenly fold.
Kiss nc, then, my baby treasure;
Drive the satlncss from my brow
Give me- always, without measure,
Love sighs just as you do now,
And when the baby loves outgrown,
And you're strong and sturdy youth,
Or, later yet, q bronze-faced man,
o! love me still in very truth.
