At The Last.

Some day, my darling, there shall come a call
An angels call to sweet and solemn rest
Then, as the shades of life's dim twilight fall
With dead hands folded on a quiet breast
Thou shalt lie down though to pleasant dreams,
The closed lids veil the amber of thine eyes,
And in heavens morn of soft celestial beams,
Thy soul awake to glOry's new surprise;
While then perhaps, he whom thy heart hath
known,
He whom thy death will leave sad and lone,
May clasp thee close though life itself hath tied,
And love link vet the living and the dead.
Maybe that l shall be the first to GO
Deaths message come to call me for its own,
While thou shalt wear the somber weeds of woe,
And stand beside me left in life alone;
This heart that beats for thee its motion cease;
This life that loved thee gone beyond recall;
Upon these lips the seal of silent peace,
Upon thy heart the shadow and the pail
Yet shall there steal through all that gloom of
night
The golden rays of hopes celestial light
And bars of glory, when earth's hopes have fed,
Still link with hope the living and the dead.
And though it be decreed go before,
While one beneath the rod must humbly bend,
Glad greetings wait upon the distant shore,
And sweet surprises at the farther end
Loves faith is deathless and its bonds secure,
Its hopes immortal and its purpose pure;
In Gods republic souls again are free,
Loves fragments there once will blended be,
AS dew drops melt and merge into the sea.

A Center Shot at ImgersOII.

Mr.. IngerSOll sits upon the apex of II
civilization distinctivcly Christian and
denies every stone in the structure be
meath him. The wOndrous fabric of
politics, laws, government, social life,
unwritten moral law and that subtlcr
and more wOndrOus code which governs
men in their daily intercourse, enforce
able by no penalties, silently enforcing
itself i'll some mysterious way; the mar
velous fabrics of modern civilization,
with materials gathered from all quar-
ters, brought out from older and differ
ent civilizations, principles from the
PandectS and the JuStinian code, Cere-
mOnial and forms from our northern
ancestors, ideas from ancient Greece,
all fused and welded by Christianity
into one vast new fabric which is as
different from the parts which com
pose it as the Dorian Temple from the
material of which it is built-this Mr..
IngersOll stands upon, and by it and
through it exists, and is what he is,
and has what he has of culture and
knowledge and fitness for doing what
he has to do, and yet denies its very
existence.
Who can reply to the shallow-patcd
man? As well reply to II man who sits
IL on the summit of Mont Blanc and
denies the existence of the mountain
which bears him up. The mountain
stays there for all his denial of its cX-
istence. He may he Il man as coarse
as IngerSoll is, as elegant as he can he
as eloquent as he is sometimes, as hol
low in his remembrance as is all hi,

as solid as his argument appears t,

or the bright reflection of ii mirror fO

before and bear the idle railer up from

Mr.. Bcecher is man of geniu
which Mr.. lngersOll distinctly is not

81 want you to come ont here"
If he saw her putting on her bonnet
he would anXiously inquire:
"Where are you going, mother p

''IOu cannot go, Tom. Now mind
and stay in the house,
If not securely shut up, however, he

One of his wings had been cropped
to keep him from making journeys.

who was passing with:
''Go away, You bad thing. You'll

As she drew nearer the angry Tom
became greatly excited, and scolded in
his sharp, shrill voice till the lady
stopped short. Finally she stepped
into the yard and rang the door-bell.
"lou will excuse me, madam, but
want to know if that little black thing

Being assured that he could-"No-

he had disgraced himself by his bad be

beyond redemption, and regarded her
attempt to navigate the boiling waters
of the whirlpool as simple madness.
But she pushed off, and just as she
did so, Brownie, the pet bear, Chamber
ed into the stern of the canoe, and sat
upright upon his launches, keeping his
balance perfectly, and in reality aiding
not little i'll trimming boat and bal
lasting it, as it We're, throughout the
wild voyage.
As Mrs. Van Bibber succeeded in
reaching the centre of the stream, di-
husbands foes were almost upon him.
"Wife wife !" he shouted, ''drop
down little lower. "l'm comingm
With this, and with the clutches of
the Indians almost closing upon him,
he sprang from the crag, and descend
ed like plummet into the water, feet
| foremost.
In an agony of suspense the wife
rested from her toll for IL moment,
watching for him to rise to the surface,
the canoe bObbing about like a cookie
shell upon the angry flood, and the pet
bear cycling his mistress affectiOnately,
as though fully sympathizing with her
distress.
1t was only moment, but an awful
one ; it seemed an age to her. Would
her husband ever rise?
Her earnest gaze seemed to penetrate
the very depths of the turbid water,
and then, with a joyous, thankful cry,
she darted the canoe further down the
stream.
He arose to the surface quite near to
her, and was enabled to scramble into
the little craft without assistance, and
amid shower of bullets that was pour
ed after him by the baffled redskins,
not one of which, however, harmed
either him or his wife.
Then, seizing the paddle from her
hands, he swung the craft around,
turning Brownies back to the hostile
bank, and padded swiftly out of range
of the shots that were still showered
after him.
But it is more than likely that poor
bruin had much to do with the immu-
nifty with which his master and mis-
tress were permitted to draw out OF
range. At any rate, when Van Bibber
and his wife reached the shore, and
were assisted to land by their rejoicing
friends, Brownie remained seated mo-
tiOnless i'll the stern of the canoe, with
his tongue hanging out and his eyes
closed, and he was found to be stark
dead, with his back fairly riddled with
bullets, more than one of which must
inevitably have reached the human oc-
cupants, but for the chance bulwark
that had been presented by his tough
and shaggy frame.
Captain Van Bibber had experienced
Il greater shock from his terrific LEAP
than had been supposed, and he stag
gered like a drunken man as his wife
led him to the grassy spot upon which
she had deposited her babe, upon rush
ing to his rescue, and where it was still
lying, growing and laughing at great
rate, and he then tainted away.
He soon recovered, however, and he
and his wife lived to green old age
with their family around them-many
of their descendants still surviving
them-in the same fertile valley, and
within the very shadow of the great
overhanging shelf which has ever since
borne their name, in deserved com
, incarceration of Van Bibber's Leap.
