A Terrible Struggle with Tramps.

EAsToN, Pa., Jan. 7.-John Varek, Hun garian, a track walker on the Lehigh Valley railroad, while making a trip on Monday night was attacked by three tramps at Epsey Run. They robbed him of his money, watch and chain, then stripped him and divided his clothing. Not satisfied they then threw him on the ground, tied his hands and in- fiicted injuries that may cause his death. AS they were again about to use the knife express train came in sight, which frightened the tramps. After lying for half an hour where he had been left another train ap- peared around a curve Varek succeeded in crawling toward the track and signalling the engineer to stop. He was taken to Fairview in an exhausted condition. Had he not been able to stop the train he would have died.

Hope on, hope ever. Though dead leaves
are lying
In mournfpl clusters meath your wan
dering feet
Though wintry winds through naked
boughs are signing
The flowers are dead yet is the mem
ory sweet
OF summer winds and countless roses
glowing
Meath the warm kisses Of the generous
sun.
Hope on, hope ever. Why should tears
be flowing?
In every season is victory won.
Hope on, hope ever. Though you deck
loved tresses
With trembling fingers for the silent
grave;
Through cold the cheek beneath your
fond caresses-
Look up, true Christian soul; be calm,
be bravei
Hope on, hope ever. Though your hearts
be breaking.
Let flowers of resignation wreathe your
cross;
Deep in you heart some heavenly wisdom
waking,
For mortal life is full Of change and
loss.
Hope on, hope ever. For long-vanished
faces
Watch for your coming on the golden
shore,
Even while you whisper in their vacant
places
The blessed words. "Not long, but
gone beforep
Hope on, hope ever. Let your hearts
keep singing,
When low you bend above the church
yard sod,
And fervent prayers your chastened
thoughts are winging,
Through sighs and tears, to the bright
throne of Godl
Hope on, hope ever. Let not toll or sor-
row
Still the sweetmusic Of Hopes heavenly
voice,
From every dawn some ray Of comfort
borrow,
That in the evening you may still re-
joice.
Hope on, hope ever. Words beyond COM
pairing,
Dear to the hearts that nameless woes
have riven;
To all that mourn, sweet consolation bear
ing

The whistling winds for many a day
Through leahess trees have swept their
way,
And oft the fields with drifting snow,
Like billowy seas when tempests blow,
Have lost their bounds; and all the earth
Is shrouded white and gone the mirth
OF sunny hours and genial breath,
And life locks hands with icy death.
The feathered songsters of the grove,
Whose tuneful notes of joy and love
Once thrilled the heart, are silent now,
Concealed beneath the holly bough,
Or flown from winters frosty rime
To Southern lands and flowery cline.
The meek-eyed cattle in their stalls
Are patient still whate'er befalls;
And dream perchance Of meadows green,
Where June hath cast her summer sheen
But /, enthroned with reasons light
To guide my path, leave out of sight
The goodly past my hope is faint;
My faith is weak and loud my plant;
"Will this keen winter have no end
It's icy fangs my pleasures rend,
And makes my life so desolate,
/ doubt the truth and yield to fate,
Whose stern behest no right can know,
Nor bliss nor beauty e'er bestow."
"But what is this my glancing eye
Along the south wall doth espy,
Where slanting sunbeams day by day
Have worn the ice and snow away"
nearer draw and gladly see,
Beneath the branching apple-tree,
Among the leaves now sere and dead,
A snowdrop raise its modest head.
Its tender green and ivory white
Are fraught with beauty and delight.
My heart is touched my fault I own.
This harbinger thus sweetly blown
Rebukes my sin my faith grows strong
For well l know to Him belong
To Him who kept this little flower
Secure from winters searching power
To Him belong all strength and might,
And He will surely do the right,
And keep more safe than iron bands
What I've committed to His hands.

"You are quite sure, Vane?"
The question was lazily put and
some might have found a tone of
ironical contempt in it, but; to
Clement Vane it was simply ques-
ton, no more.
"I'd stake my head on it, either
of them will say yes the moment I
ask her. I wish l wasn't so sure.
There'd be something agreeable to
fellaw of my temperament in reg
ularly having to WOO, you know, but
1 can't account for it. They all set
their caps for me at the first meet
ing. It's bore, too, don't you know;
decided bore, when one gets too
much of it"
"Then why don't you tell them
SOP Or better still, insert an article
in one of the papers requesting the
ladies to give you fewer attentions.
Say frankly that they embarrass you;
that they bore you; that you're tired
of it, etc."
"0h, but don't you know that
wouldn't do. There are times, you
see, when-when-"
"Just SO. When a fellow finds 9
fool among his acquaintance and
feels like pulling his nose and re-
strains the impulse, don'tyou know,
of 'mimicing the others drawl to
perfection Yes; 1 know all about
it; but the question is this: Those
two girls are madly in love with
you-over their pretty ears, you
know-and you think you'll ask one
of them to marry you; I am to
help you to decide which. Miss Lee
is dark, beautiful, of good family, an
heiress; Miss Holmes is fair, sunny
fascinating and an heiress also.
You're are not in love with either
but they, poor girls, are hoplessly
in love with you. You will have ia
break one heart-choose as you
may. You are inclined to try your
fate tonight at the ball at De Val.

must marry some time, and she's to
my fancy, and-I1l do it, but I'm
sorry for poor little Jessie Holmes
it will quite break her heart"

Peters Three Sweet
hearts.

Though / am, 1 suppose, an old
maid, l take much interest in other
peoples love affairs. My friends
know and humor this little weak
ness, and consequently, in the course
of twenty years or so, l have col
lected large number of love stories.
They are of all kinds-sad, joyful,
touching, absurd, sentimental, or
eccentric. But perhaps the oldest
of them all is the one I am about
to relate.
The reasons which decided me to
spend twelvemonth in a little
Aberdeenshire village, unknown to
common ken, need not be entered
into here. I had a cottage to my
self, and one maid-servant, by name
Mary Duthie. And what pretty
creature she was with her golden
hair and big gray eyes and tall, sup
pie figure. 1t was a real pleasure to
see her at her work, in her spotless
lilac gown and tucked-up sleeves;
and to watch the fascinating, uncon-
scious grace with which she did the
simplest thing.
am afraid / spoiled that girl.
She was engaged to Jem Leslie, a
farmers son, who nearly worried
the life out of her by his jealousy
for which / suspect he had some
times cause. The two quarreled
nearly every Sabbath, but always
made it up again in the course of
the week; so that l was by no
means surprised when Mary inform
ed me one day that she had broken
off with Jem Leslie forever; but l
was very much astonished indeed to
hear, few weeks later, that she had
promised herself to Peter Mackey.
"Well, Mary" I said to her, 81 do
not wish to intermeddle with love
affairs, but 1 must say that l think
Jem the better man of the two."
But Mary tossed her pretty head,
and remarked of her rejected lover,
that "she was weary O. the creature
havers, and had jist tauld him that
he medina fash himself aboot her
ony mair, for she cud cen TAX care
O. her main SELL" Peter Mackey, she
told me, was about to start for Aber-
deem, a well-to-do uncle having
found agood situation for him there
knew something of Mr.. Peter, as
he was my landlords only son. He
was a tall, handsome young fellow,
with "gweed aneuch held" as his
father used to say, but an all-toc
susceptible heart. A pretty face
captivated him directly, though his
attainments were generally more
violent than lasting l had made
up my mind that he would marry
Jeanie Saunderson, a handsome
enough lassie, a good housekeeper
and an heiress in a small way. But
Jeanie had left five or six months
before for London, to visit an infrm
aunt. and now Peter was engaged to
marry Duthie. was vexed about
the whole affair, especially as l SYM
pathized with poor Jcm Leslie. Yet
certainly it was no concern of mine.
l do not think that Mary ever re-
ceived any love letters from Aber'
deem. 1t was not the fashion in hei

A FOUNTAIN OF FLAME.-At Thone
Creek, near oil, Pa, is a wonderful
fountain of fire. A well throwing
out 25,000 barrels of oil daily is a
burning, and every gallon of this
oil is consumed in the air. So great
is the force with which the oil leaves
the well that the fame cannot get
nearer than ten feet from the ground.
From the mouth of the well to the
point where the flame begins the
amber-colored fluid forms q solid,
straight column, six inches in di-
ameter, and shining like FURNISHED
gold. At the height of 100 feet the
column is probably not over five
feet in diameter, but at 200 feet it
spreads out into a. cloud of over
hanging flame, from which fiery
streams extend earthward, like the
dropping branches of a willow. The
effect is indescribably grand. Sew
eral unsuccessful attempts have been
made to extinguish the flames.

"And she told me she was engag-

$50 she is but 1 was willing to
free her, seeing that she was so much
in love with you?"
"oh, you're sarcastic" Vane said,
angrily; "but you might have told
me-"
"You didn't ask, and if Jessie
loves you have declared to me-"
But Vane had turned away with
a muttered imprecation and gone in,
followed by low laugh of thorough
enjoyment from Tom.
"They were both SO very much in
love with him-oh, yesp he said
cheerfully. "His highness had re-
ceived a lesson. We will see how
much good it will do him."

A New Wheat Enemy.

DR.. Inter reports some observations
made on an insect which attacks the straw
of the wheat plant. first observed in 1880,
in Illinois. by DR.. Thomas and Prof. Ri
ley. Its habits somewhat resemble those
of the barley-joint worm. Usually it is
found in the upper joint, or in one of the
first three joints below the head Its hab-
its have not yet been fully observed, but
all its operations are believed to be con-
fined to the straw. and hence the burnin 9
of the straw and of the stubble is recon-
mended for its destruction, though this must
not be done before September 18th
because that would also destroy
parasite which preys upon it.
As preventative, wheat should
not follow wheat Immediately on the same
field when this enemy has appeared. If,
however. the damage is done while the
crop is maturing the burning of the straw
and stubble can at best benefit only the
next years crop; though why it may not
appear second time under the same cir
cumstances that attended its first appear
ance, is not clear. 1t is evident that fur

OleO,

The New York Price Current says that
it is stated that since the "oleo" law was
enforced there have been 100000 pounds
more butter brought into that market from
the diaries than in the year before, and
that 100000 pounds less had been ex-
ported. At the same time the price, which
had fallen on account of competition with
"oleo." had risen between four and seven
cents. Hadn't we better enforce our
''oleo' law in this State, and thereby Sc
cure to ourselves like benefits and at the
same time secure to consumers the privil-
ego of eating butter when they want to ?
But few days ago we saw a car load of
"oleo' in store in this State awaiting
sale.
