A Winter Walk.

The crisp snow crackles briskly
under ones step, and there is a brac-
ing tingle in the frosty air-an elixir
of life only less potent than the tradi-
tional Fountain of Youth.
Snowbanks have taken the place Of
messy ones, and the music of the
brook, which few months ago wOve
it's way shining thread through sun
ny meadows and shadowy woods, is
almost hushed; its fitting, restless
beauty has flown, and it lies silent and
fettered in its steel like suit of icy
armor, excepting, where down the
middle, between the ragged edges Of
the thin ice, n tiny stream still glides
along over the bright pebbles and
tufts of long green grass which lie at
the bottom; and with its low gurgle
whispers of its past loveliness and
hopes of a future resurrection.
The forests too have gained differ
ent beauty. For now the delcatcly
wrought fret-work of interlacing
branches which the trees rear against
the light blue of the wintry sky, rival
in clear, distinct beauty their wealth
of summer drapery. But for scene
of fairy-like splendor, visit the woods
on one of those sunny mornings which
often succeed storm, and you will
be rewarded by sights which far out
! shine Aladdin's palace in glittering
! bewilderment.
The sunlight reflected back from bic
shimmering snow beneath, dances
through every ice cased branch and
twig, till they sparkle in dazzling
liquid light as if strung with gems.
Surely, a magicians touch has
transformed them over night; for h0re
are lofty columns and graceful arches
of shining crystal, where before stood
simple saplings with their wild grape
vine drapery; and there, an unsightly
weed Overgrown stump has metamer-
phosed into fairy palace, cxquisitely
wrought of alabaster and diamonds

THE LITTLE KNIGHT.

Tho knight Of olden time, they say,
Went bravely out to battle,
And sto serene amid the strife,
The din and roar and rattle,
Because he carried on his arm y
A ribbon or glove,
And fought and won, or fought and fell,
All for his lady-love.
We boys may be like knights, they say,
Although our lives are quiet,
And though we may not ride TO war;
With martial cank aud riot,
Yet we may still be brave and true,
And fight against the wrong,
And, like the gallant knights OF old,
Help other lives along.
SO, Cousin Alice, you, i see,
Wear ribbons with your dresses;
Please, will you spare one pretty bow
From off your braided tresses,
Just to remind me, day by day,
must bc good and true,
A valiant knight TO serve the right
Because 'am fond Of youi
Then, Cousin Alice, let me wear
Your pretty colors gayly,
And they shall make me kind and true
And brave and gentle, daily;
For, like the knights of oldcn tune,
Ipromisc, "honor bright
II you re my little Valentine,
To be your faithful Knight.
Margaret Johnson, it February st. Nicholc

then you can DO what you choose with
my body"
Nonsense; you can't deceive me-"
replied the man. "Do you think
want my affairs repeated to such a sill
ly fool as this Miss Powers must beP'
Saying this he moved hastily toward
the door, and as it flew open the flush
ed and angry features of Nathan Far
low met the cold, scornful glance Of
Augustine Powers. He staggered back
"a moment, then stepped forward, and
would have hurried past her, but she
stood in the doorway and prevented
his passage. Then summoning all her
courage, and with look of infinite
disdain, she took him by the coat
sleeve and led him to the bedside Of
the dying girl. All through this scene
the occupant of the room. who was
none other than the unfortunate Mary,
gazed vacantly around as IL bewilder-
ed by what transpired. Then, as il sud-
denly recalling her senses seemed to
comprehend the question Miss Powers
was about to ask, mo, no! my dear
Miss Powers, this is not the man l
spoke of. He never treated me un-
kindly. Did you, William You
would never desert your little Mary.
You said so, Williamp" She was evil
IDENTITY fast failing William" she
'murmured, holding out her thin white
hand toward him, 'they shall never
say that you deceived me. He would
never deceive me-" She grasped his,
hand tightly, and added, in half broken
whispers: II hope God will forgive
me for all the wrong | have done.
Heaven bless you, William These
were the last words she uttered, In
few seconds she was corpse. For a
moment all remained quiet as the
grave. Then. as if moved by n sudden
impulse, Farlow made one dash for the
door, and ran hastily down stairs and
into the street.
The Powers family never saw him
after that night. Through his attor-
ney he withdrew his interest " the
firm of Powers, Farlow d Co., and it
was understood that he had gone
abroad, Miss Powers, after making
provision, as well as her condition
would allow, for the burial of her
dead friend, was taken with severe
fit of illness which lasted many months,
and, the physicians say, was caused
bv extreme nervousness.
Many years after might have been
seen, in one of the daily papers, the
notice of the marriage OF Augustine
Powers, daughter of Schuyler Powers,
to James Waltser, of the firm of Pow
ers, Waltscr d CO. Chicago Ledger.

UNDECEIVED.

Augustine Powers had never felt the
fatigue caused by labor nor the hard
ship and suffering entailed by poverty;
and one would be quite sure, to see
her as she sat listlessly before the
piano in her rich and tastefully furn-
ished apartments, that the thoughts of
woe and misery never found even
transient place in her breast. But al
though young and beautiful, and
possessed of every luxury which money
could purchase or a refined taste could
contribute, she imposed upon herself
the duty of helping bear the burdens
of her sex who were less fortunate than
she, by providing each day for the
wants of some unhappy creature. For
this purpose her trusty servant Peter
was sent out every evening to investi-
gate the condition of such as were re-
ceiving her assistance or to recover
new objects for her generosity. At
the time she is brought to our notice,
her attitude indicates that she has
been indulging in one of those harm
less reverieS called "day dreams"
Her thoughts seem TO wander far
away from her surroundings, and even
the crumpled letter which she holds
in her hand has apparently ceased to
excite her emotion. The reader may,
however, glance at this letter. 1t was
written in plain, schoolgirl hand,
and ran thus;
My KIND FRIEND: The trouble you
have already taken in my behalf causes
me TO hesitate before acquainting you
with what has produced my greatest
anxiety but as you requested me to
notify you in case anything occurred,
and as YOU are my only friend in
whom | can contide, | feel it my duty
to comply. The man who has so
greatly wronged me, and at whose
door lay all my misery and degrade
ton passed the house, where l am liv-
ing this morning. He has certainly
discovered my whereabouts, tor he
looked very hard at the windows, and
will, fear, use every means to frus
trate my intentions. Had he never
treated me so cruelty, and then left
me to die alone, l could still endure
him for, Notwithstanding all the dis
tress he has caused, the vision OF hap
py moments still haunts the vacan
chambers of my heart. What his ob
ject may be in seeking me out l can
not say. He may fear | will discovel
his true name, for l am sure he mad'
use of fictitious one, and disclose hi
base conduct, but this | will never do
If could only 60 away from here,
think | would be happy, but l am s.
weak that can scarcely move.
What shall doP Cannot You, m
good friend, advise mep am so q
tirely alone. Your hdmble friend,
MARY.
Miss Powers had read this letter a
hour or so previous to our introdu6
tion to her, but now she seemed t
have lost all interest in its contents.
Presently servent entered bearin
card which he handed to his mis-
tress. "Ah, Mr.. Waltser," she mu
tered half aloud; "show him in, Wi
liam" A moment later Mr. Waltse
was ushered into the room. His al
pearance was Ahat of a man about 81
and twenty, not over handsome, bl
with face filled with intelligence an
tall, well-proportioned frame. AS n
