What Saved Him.

During the s'hard winter" of '77,when
thirty thousand unemployed workmen
haunted the streets of New York, driven
to beggary, or too often, theft, man rang
at the door of house in one of our large
cities, and asked for something to eat.
He told glib story of his discharge from
wooden mill, and said he had wife
starving not far away.
The mistress of the house made it a
rule not to give aims that winter, except
after personal examination of the case
of each applicant.
She went into her kitchen and ordered
substantial meal set before the man, who
ate ravenously.
He was young, honest looking fellow,
but there we're heavy marks of d1ssipa-
ton on his face. Suddenly he dropped
his knife and fork, and sat staring at the
door.
'Who's thata" be cried. "Johnny
JohnnyP'
The lady's little girl, child of three,
had followed her from the nursery, and
stood in white gown in the doorway, her
fair curls tumbling over her face. The
tramp recovered himself with a hoarse
laugh.
II beg your PARDON" he said. "It's
your child. of course. II haven't seen
child for long time.''
But his food seemed to choke him. In
a few moments he st arted up again In
agitation and said.

Jim Floyd, and I was discharged yester-
day from Moyamensing prison, where I
have served out sentence for burglary
l was decent man once. I left my wife
and my old mother up In Pottsville, and
my baby.
While he spoke his eyes were fixed on
the child with terrible hunger in them.
"Little one" he said, holding out his
hands with pitiful entreaty, "shake
hands with me, won't you? I wouldn't
hurt hair in your head.'
The mothers heart gave a throb. The
man was foully dirty, just out of prison
full, perhaps, of disease.
But the baby (surely God sent iD ran
forward, smiling, with both hands out
Jim kneeled down beside it, the tears
rolling down his cheeks. cts so like
Johnny!' he muttered. 'It's so like
Join dy."
"You'll go back to Johnny and your
wife and old mother9" said the lady.
He would not promise. otis too late
to make decent man of me-" he said
and presently putting on his old cap, he
went out.
SIX months later the lady received an
ill-spelled letter from Pottsville. 81 am
at work here,' 1t said. "That night
had planned to JOIN the boys again, but
your little girl saved me. I came home
instead. It wasn't too late.'

A PAIR of wooiIy elephants. the finest

A PAIR of wooily elephants, the finest
ever brought to this country, have been
landed at New York. The larger of the
two is thirty-six inches high, while the
smaller scarcely measures six inches in
height. They are thought to be about
6 years old. The chief peculiarly of
these elephants is the fact that they are
covered with thick black wool or hair,
especially about the crown of the head,
the back, and the legs. The wool is two
or three inches long. They were capt
ured in the Malay peninsula.

our only answer was the silence of the

1
grave.
Every soul in the village, probably,
had been killed, or like ourselves, buried
beneath the snow and ice of the noun
tain. 1t was only after we had exhausted
ourselves with vain cries for help that we
meditated on helping ourselves. We had
not been injured. We remembered that
we were in the little sitting room down
stairs, the windows only of which seemed
broken in, and filed with snow, ice and
stones. The stairway was also filed with
snow and debris of crushed walls. Above
us all was desolation.
The furniture in the room seemed all
in its proper place. We could move
about, but it was becoming terribly cold,
and we felt the sleepy chill, that dread
tul precursor of death by freezing, over
coming us. Once we were certain that
we heard voices above us, and again we
shouted to try to tell them that we were
still alive. We listeHed-the voices had
gone-we were aban doned to our fate.
For hours we had alternately shouted
and listened, until we sank down in de-
spair. 1t must have been midnight when
in our groupings about the little chamber,
our hands came in contact with a wax
candle, and in few moments we had
light light to die by.
Hours went by. don't know whether
we we sleeping or freezing, when
started at hearing a cry:
"a light! light''
sprang to my feet and again the voice
cried, GA light!''
In ten minutes three half frozen, half
insane human beings were lifted from
the grave into the gray light of morn
ing. A h2ndred noble souls had labor
ed the long night through, seeking the
buried.
Every man and woman from every viii
lage in the whole valley had hurried to
the scene, and was straining every nerve
to rescue those to whom life might still
be clinging.
We among the last taken from the
snow and rocks. which had lain upon us
thirty feet in depth.
Did those brave rescuers wonder why
we knelt to them and kissed the hems of
their ragged garments?
Beautiful Bleiberg is no more. Half
OF those whom we saw dancing alsng In
the procession of the carnival, in the
bright sunshine, sleep among the violets
| on the hillside. The snow and the ice,
and the black boulders from the noun
tain apd the dark fir trees, still lie, in
this summer Of 1879, in one mass in the
valley.
We all left as soon as we could travel.
I went home to Z.
My chief has resigned and I am now
acting consul in his place. Should the
senate confirm all the new appoint
| ments, expect to remain as consul.
Miss Shelton thinks also of remaining,

Mrs. HIcKs-LoRD has had a success

Mrs. HIcKs-LoRD has had success
full career in London. She rented a
pretty house, which she fitted up with
the taste and skill for which she has al
ways been distinguished. So crowded,
indeed, were her rooms with pictures,
statuary, curiosities and old china that
they were said to rival even those of
Lady Burdett-C outts. She has gathered
about her a circle of decayed society
magnates, including Dukes, Earls and
Marquises, with plentiful sprinkling of
church dignitaries.

ONE OF MANY.

The sweetest girl of all know
Is charming Fanny Hall;
The widest at husking,
The gayest at ball;
Her cheek Is like a Jersey peach,
Her eye is blue and clear,
And her lip is like the sumac
In the autumn of the year.
There's not a blemish in her form,
No fault about her face
Sit down and gaze from morn till night
You'll find her perfect grace;
And then, to finish all, her voice!
From the sweetest birds in spring
You couldn't tell its MARBLE; but
She doesn't know thing"

Mrs. O'LEARY and her son, of Chica-

refuse to be cow'd into any other belief.

YOU KISSED mE.
BY JOSEPHINE g. UUNr.

You kissed me- my head
Dropped low on your breast
With feeling of shelter
And infinite rest.
While the holy emotions
My tongue dared not speak
Flashed up in fame
From my heart to my cheek
Your arms held me fast
Oh, your arms were so boldI
Heart beat against heart
In their passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing
My soul through my eyes,
As the sun draws the mist
From the sea to the skies.
Your lips chung to mine
Till prayed in bliss
They might never unclasp
From the rapturous kiss.
You kissed me! my heart
AID my breath and my VIII,
In deiirious JOY,
For moment stood still.
Life had for me then
No temptations, no charms,
No visions Of happiness
Outside of your arms.
And were this instant
An angel possessed
OF the peace and the Joy
That art given the best,
would fling my white robes
Unrepiningly down;
l would tear from my forehead
Its beautiful crown,
70 nestle once more
IN that haven of rest,
Your lips upon mine,
Ny head or your breast.
Non kissed NE! my soul,
In bliss so divine
Reeled and swoOned ike drunken man
Foolish with wine,
And 1 thought 'twere delicious
To die there, if death
Would bu! come while my Gps
Were yet moist with your breath
Ii my heart might grow cold
While YOU aIms c'asped me ropnd
In their paS 4onate fold.
And these were the questions
l ask day and night:
Must my lips taste no more
Such exquisite delight?
Would You care if your breast
Were my shelter as then;
And, if you were here,
Would you kiss me again?

shook. The procession disappeared as if
enguifed by an earthquake. Houses,
right and left, tumbled over, and were
buried in one single instant. The air
cooled for a moment, and again hot, was
| rent wi tn the screams of the mangled.
An awful catastrophe had befallen us;
| the wrath of the mountains was upon
the village! For moment we stood par
alyzed- speechless.
NV first impulse was to rush to the
street, and to drag my companions with
me; but there was no street. Even the
garden had disappeared in foam of
snow and ice. We thought of the back
window at the embankment, but as we
tore it open, single glance toward the
mountain told us the horror was but be-
gun. "The forestP' we all shouted in a
breath. 1t was gone, all gone las if
mown by mighty reaper, and masses of
other snow seemed ready to slide. The
white brow of the mountain still gleam-
ed in the sunshine, and seemed to laugh
at our desolation. Another whizzing, a
roar, and with our own eyes we saw the
side OF the mountain start. Instantly and
together we sprang down the steps into
the lower room. There was roll of thun
der, mighty crash, and then sll was
darkness. We were buried alive beneath
an avalanche.

fearful cries for help; how we shouted

IN western Pennsylvania and Virginia a
generation ago, and Ephraim Blaine,
Esq, a magistrate, and father of the
present senator from Maine, and 8 pop

see the woman who had told the dream.
Without stating their purpose, they took
her and her husband, on pretense of bus
mess, to the Plymire farm. 1t was the
first time in her life she had left her own
county, and she was greatly amused and
interested. They drove over the whole OF
the road down which Rachel Plymire had
gone.
'Have you ever seen this neighbour
hood2" one of them asked.
"Never."
That ended the matter, and they turned
back, taking a little-used CROSS road to
save time.
Presently the woman started up in
great agitation, crying:

off,
They assured her that Rachel Plym1re
