Who Kissed Away the Tear.

Is anything stranger than the human
heart? Nature sends frail, green vine
creeping across the earth to reach a
grim wall and cover its ugliness-to
reach a dead branch and cover it with
life. We bless nature as we see these
things, and yet we do not realize that
human hearts are ever doing the same.
One day, months ago, a rosy-faced child
looking from window saw a queer old
man go imping past. It tapped on the
pane and the old man looked up. The
sight of that sweet face opened his old
heart, and he went on his way feeling
richer than for many month past. He
was the grim wall-the child was the
green vine. He passed again, and again
the child was at the window, and for
days and weeks they naver missed see
ing each other. At each meeting the
vine crept nearer to the waIl-the wall
appeared less grim and forbidding. One
day the "wall =" laid aside his old hat
for better one. Another day he had
new coat. Again he was clean shaved,
and the "vine" scarcely recognized
him. No one knew the old man, but
all knew that he was feeling the in
fuence of the vine.
A week ago as the old man passed he
missed the face at the window. Was he
too early or too late? He fingered and
looked and seemed lost. 1t was the
same next day, but a kind heart pitied
him and sent out word that the child
was sick. The green vine had reached
the wall only to be blighted. Two days
more and there was Grape Cd the door.
The child was dead. 1t had fallen asleep
in death without struggle, knowing
of the grand hereafter, but
having no fear. On its pale cheek was
q tear-a single tear which glistened
like a diamond. No hand dared wipe
that tear away. It seemed tie between
the present and the past-the living
and the dead.
"Please can I see the--tke child ?" |
1t was the old mantle grim waif-
who knocked tlmidly at the door and |
spoke thus. They knew him by sight,
and they led him into the room where
the vine lay dead. He stood over the
coffin for moment, lips quivering and
ayes full of tears, and then he bent
over and kissed the face which would
watch for him no more. When he had
gone they looked for the tear. He had
kissed it away Old and poor and I'M
Known, he had reaped a treasure such

A Western DOgberry.

The following is copy of the ''de-
cision" rendered by the Justice of DIM
mick, La Sale County, ILL.,, before
whom James Kidd was arraigned for
an alleged shooting of William Faust:
Gentlemen of the jury and gentle
men of our case 1 have sat here since
twelve o'clock listening to the evidences
of our witnesses and the pleadings OF
our attorneys. You all know l have a
mind or 1 wouldn't have sense enough
to sit here. L am a young man, twenty
seven years of age, and my mind has
been worked as it never has been before.
have Just spent six hours closest at
tention and am somewhat confused, but
not so much confused that I can repri-
mand this case as stated to me. I have
listened to the expert physicians and
attorneys.
In relation to mans property in
peril we have right of defendance, but
my way of defendance would be to enter
complaint and do away with the pistols.
Exercising my own sound Judgment,
Mr.. Kidd is probably guilty, but to be
proven at Ottawa. Now as to the ques-
ton of committing him to jail or to give
bonds and let him go to his family is a
question that is weighing my mind. It
is serious case, and if l should put
Mr.-Kidd- unaer-boRas,- wIet-bonds

says So, 900 or Sd, 900 bonds. wouldn't
feel safe to do that. [ would be afraid
to walk from here home tonight, and
wouldn't be able to sleep and would be
dreaming bad dreams all night. AS for
the Hon. Mr.. Kidd (referring to the
prisoner), 1 feel sorry for his family, but
when it comes to law must exercise my
own sound Judgment. If I put him
under bonds, the least would put him
under would be $4,000. To modify,
will reverse my judgment; L will put
it at $4,000. If do less, which if the
Hon. Mr.. Kidd can give bail, he can go
to his family. Now, the question which
weighs my mind is whether shall take
bonds or commit him to jail. The
statute says (here the squire sat down
and rapidly passed his finger over an
open book, but did not ready. AS far
as I am versed in law I believe it bail
able. We may feel as safe one way as
the other. (Then he ponaered and
closed) am willing to accept $50, 900
bail"

Having fingered to the last allowable
moment with the members of my family
"hereinbefore mentioned the legal
documents would term them-it was
after 10 o'clock at night when re-
turned to headquarters for final instruc-
tions, and before going to the Generals
room 1 ordered two whisky toddies to
be brought up after me. When they
appeared offered one of the glasses to
Jackson, but he drew back, saying:
"No, no, Colonel, you must excuse
me; never drink Intoxicating liquors. y

though you habitually abstain, as dc
myself, from everything of the sort,
there are occasions, and this is one Of
them, when a stimulant will do us both

myself nor offer it to you. So you must
make an exception to your general rule
and join me in toddy tonight.
He again shook his head, but never
theless took the tumbler and began to
sip its contents. Presently putting il

emptied it, he said:

A Queer Story,
MAN WHO BET $4,000 THAT RowELL
WOULD LOSE THE WALKING MATCH.

WOULD LOSE THE WALKING MATCH.
It is reported about town, says the
New York World, that well-known
sporting man, whose successes on the
turf in this country and in Europe have
attracted great attention, bet $500, 600
that Rowell would not win the recent
walking match. The wonderful success
that has attended that gentleman, both
in this country and abroad, it Is said,
followed him here I; for Rowell, for the
first time in his racing career, broke
down completely and left the track on
the fifth day of the race. Many COM
plants have been made, and ugly whls-
pers heard among those who had placed
money on the ex-champion. Persons
who had lost in that manner say that
RoweIl. after leaving the track, APP
peared to be anything but used-up
man. a short time after, he was riding
out on the road behind fast trotter,
and he took his food with accustomed
relish all the time. His trainers in
formed newspaper men that there was
nothing the matter with his feet and
legs, and the story that he was injured
by drinking vinegar was quickly dis
posed of by his physician, who an
j
ever. 1t is also said that both Rowell
and his trainers accepted the situation
with remarkable philosophy, and were
as unconcerned apparently over the &C
cident that had befallen them as though
they had no personal interest in the
race. The aggrieved persons who cir
culate these stories point to the prac-
tice of the sporting man who IS said to
have wagered $4,000 that Rowell
would not win the race, of giving hand
some sums to jockeys aud others who
take part in the races on which he has
placed his money, and they say he could
have made it an object for Rowen to fall
sick at critical time. If he was placed
to win $500, 600, these soured persons
say, Rowell might have drunk vinegar
with an obiect-in fact that it would pay
him better to take that drink than to
keep on the wearying track until the
end of the week.
