A Eahle.

A fox who found hard picking in a
certain neighborhood one day visited a
farmers dog and said.
81 have lately undergone a change
of heart and wish you to make known
the fact to your masters fowls. They
treat me as if l was a murderer, and
it really hurts my feelings to see them
hurry into the coop at sunset. The
farmer, too, seems to distrust me, for
he has made the coop so tight that l
cannot find single knothole. What
sort of way is that to treat fox who

will then explain my feelings towards
them and trust that the fox and the
fowls will hereafter i've in the greaG-
est harmony. Indeed, the only diff
ference between us is the fact that
have no wings, and they'shouldn't hold
me in suspicion on that account.
The dog agreed to act a mediator,
and at noon next day the fox crept
carefully through the weeds to the
rendezvous and croutched down to
await the coming of the fowls. There
was presently heard great whirr and
clatter, and twoscore hens alighted in
the branches of a big tree over the
fox.

Into the light of the blest;
Out OF a land very dIeary,
Out Of the world Of the weary,
Into the raptnres or rest.
Out of to'day's sin and sorrow,
Into blissful tomorrow,
Into day wi hOut gloom;
Out Of land filled with signing
Land OF the dead and the dying
Into land without tomb.
Out Of life of cOmmOtion,
Tempest swept Oft as the ocean,
Dark with the wreck drifting DER
Into Land ca m and quiet:
Never a storm cnmeih uigh it
Never wreck on Its shore.
Out OF the land in whose bowers
Perish and fade all the Il wers-
Out of Il e land nf decay
Into the Eden where fairest
OF flowers, aud sweetest and rarest,
Never shall wither away.
Out of the world of the ailing,
Throngod with anguish and wailing;
Out of the world Of the sad,
Into the world that rejOices,
World Of bright visions and voices,
Into the world of the glad.
Out of life ever lornful,
Out OF land ever mnurnful,
Where in bleak exils we roam

Where there's Father to love us

and, looking on him, cried,-

fell upon his bosom.
At first l had imagined that the
black.bearded gentleman was about to
devour Miss Linda, or carry her away
to his enchanted castle; but when she
called him William, the truth dawned
upon my mind, and l listened quietly,
when, some moments afterward, he
knelt beside her and spoke thus

truth and goodness, and believed that
no woman could welcome back toll
worn, beggared man, as she would one
who was glad and prosperous.
l saw her arm steal about his neck,
and her lips touch his cheek, and he
went on again.
"Better days dawned upon me, and !
came back again, loving you still, to
WOO and to win you, if you could for.
give my long and shameful silence.
The first news l heard, darling, was
that you were betrothed to anothtr,and
though it almost broke my heart,
vowed that if this were true, l would
not mar your new-found happiness by
bringing back the memory of the past.
Had you loved him, Linda, you never
should have known that Will Brace
dwell among the living me9, although
he would have prayed for your happi-
ness while he had heart to pray with,
and blessed you until his lips were
dumb forever"
There was another pause, and l could
hear Miss Linda sob.
To-day, Linda, followed my rival,
as thought him, to this door; | heard
the words he spoke, and | also heard
your answer. learned,my angel, that
you had forgiven me, that you were
still true. to the wanderer whose only
merit was that he loved you fondly;
and no words can tell you the ecstacy
of that poment, the balm that knowl-
edge poured upon my wounded heart.
Will you be my wife still, LindaP Will
you share the little that | have of
wealth, and let me have right to the
great treasure of your wOman's heart?"
She did not speak, but her head sank
lower still, and her white arms twisted
themselves about the neck of the man
with the black beard.
A week later the village paper re.
ported the marriage of Miss Linda Har-
rington and Mr.. William Brace. and
our school was left without mistress.

We clip the following editorial item from
the Paw Paw GOUrier.

We clip the following editorial item from
the Paw Paw Courier:
Greenbackers and Democrats smile at the
frantic efforts of the Republican newspapers
to fatter them as "honest Greenbackers" and
"honest Democrats" who "can not be bought
and sold" When Greenbacker or Demo
crat reads one of those articles, lie puts his
thumb to lis nose,-fguratively speaking,
and spreads his fingers fan-fashion.
We fully understand that it is ludicrous,
and a fit matter for ridicule, to speak gener-
ally of Democrats and Greenbackers-es-
pecially Democrats-as "honest" and 'not to
be bought or sold," but Republicans are
charitable enough to recognize that there
are some honorable exceptions, some Green
hackers and even some Democrats, who are
both honest and above being "bought and
Sold" Notwithstanding the Courier may
sneer at the opinion.
