A ROMANCE FROM LIFE.

The following will appear incredible
10 the reader, but every word is true
and can be verified by living wit.
nesses:
One cold, clustering Saturday night
in January, 1882. when Hiram P Carter
and family, who reside one mile east Of
Howe's Cave, in Schoharie County, were
about to retire, they heard a loud rap
on the front door. Mr.. Carter, who is
q huge, gruff spoken man, with a heart
overlooking with the milk of human
kindness. went and opened the door, and
saw, standing on his steps, young man
thinly clad and shivering with the cold.
The farmer told him to come in, and he
did so Carter looked him over as he
sat 0y the stove, and asked, in his gruff
way:
"Who are you?'
The young man looked at him q
moment, and. as the tears came to his
eyes. he replied:
MY name is Sam Miles, and I'm .
tramp. Last night 1 slept in barn,
and almost froze to death, and had to
take the blankets off the horses to keep
warm
well. 1 suppose you are hungry"
said Carrier.
ayes, I'm hungry" replied the boy,
''but all I can ask of You is a place to
get warm"
In little While Mrs. Carter prepared
warm supper. and the stranger par
took of it with 3 relish that was really
astonishing. The young man resumed
his seat at the stove, and Mr. Carter said,
in his off-hand way:
young man. you're a stranger to
me, and you say you're tramp. Now,
/ amt going to drive you out such
night as this. but I'm going to let you
know I mean business Do you see
that. dog behind the stove?" pointing
to fierce-lookinQ Scotch shenherd.

Retaliation.
WIFE AND I.

Come and drain a cup OF Joy
Now with me, good wife,
And bring the girl and boy
Now with thee, good wife.
Let all hearts be bl'the and gay,
1t is fourteen years to-day
Since you spoke the little AYE
That to me was life.
When in wedding white arrayed
behed you stand,
Why, almost felt afraid
Zen to touch your hand.
And when with love intent
Your gaze on me you bent,
You seemed . being sent
From the Better Land"
And an angel you have proved
Since that good, glad hour:
Aye, wherever We have roved
In sunshine and I'm shower,
In all goodness you transcend,
And all excellcnces blend
In the mother, wife and friend,
As . sacred dSwer.
You have made my life more pure
Than it might have been;
You have taught me to endure
And to strive and win.
With your simple song Of praise
You sanctify our days,
And our thoughts to Heaven you raise
From a world of sin.
Come. let's quit the dusty town
With its noise and strife,
And seek the treezy down
That with health is rife.
Work is good, and so is play;
Let us keep our wedding day
Ger the hills and far away.
Happy man and wife.
