"LA NoTrR."
BY JOAQUIN MILLER

Is nighti And sits night at your pillowi Sits darkness about you like deathi Rolls darkness above like pillow, As drowning men catch in their breath Is ii night. and deep night of dark errors, or crosses, of pitfalls and bars Then lift up your face from your terrors, For heaven alone holds the stars, To shaggy-beard shepherds, the fastness- Lora, desolate syrian son: rhs darkness, the midnight the vastness- That vast, solemn night bore God! The night brought us God and the Saviour Lay down in a cradle to rest; A sweet cherub Babe in behavior, So that all Baby world might be blest.

CHAPTER III.


 Raney's house, a rude, doubIe-lo ok structure, was situated high up on the mountain side. Far down below, the cedars with their fringed tops, looked like rolling meadow of boundless ex. tent and the river, afaI of, lay like . piece of bright wire in a bed of grass.
 Nov, walk right in an make yourself at home" said Ransy, as he opened the door, stepped aside and made a polite motion with his hand. The room was almost destitute of furniture, but the Aoor was cleanly swept.

 The Trough customers assemble early the next evening, anxious, IL seemed, to contemplate the iurid depths of the terrible abyss, or perhaps indulging a fain. hope that their sins might be swept away. Passionate, desperate men are freouently more easily drawn to the mourners' bench than ren who are but little sequ ainted with vice. Coos tree and Klnckioe, though desperate, were not passionate enough to be deeply impressed by fiery eloquence or by the emotion which might wiring sobs from . com panion. While old Murray, Raney.

THE LYRIC OF ACTION.

'Tis the part Of a coward to brood
Der the past that is withered and dead;
What though the hearts roses are ashes and
dustl
What though the hearts music be fedl
Still shine the grand heavens o'erheud,
Whence the voice Of an angel thrills clear on
the soul,
"Girl about thee thine armor, press on to the
goalr
II the faults or the crimes of thy youth
Are burden too heavy to bear,
What hope can rebloom on the desolate waste
or jealous and craven despairl
Down, down with the fetters OF fear!
In the strength of thy valor and manhood
arise,
With the faith that illumes and the will that
defes.
'Too latel" through Gods infinite world,
From His throne to life's nethermost fires
"Too latel" is fantom that flies at tie dawn
OF the soul that repents and asplres
If pure thou hast made thy desires,
There's no hight the strong wings of inn
mortals may gain
Which in striving to reach thou shalt strive
for in vain.
Then up to the contest with Fate,
Unbound by the past which is dead!
What though the hearts roses are ashes aud
dust!
What though the hearts music be fedl
Still shine the fair heavens oerhead;
And sublime as the angel who rules in the
sun
Beams the promise of peace when the conflict
is won!

Such pleasant, aged face, and such
soft, old voice! Nesta stepped nearer to
the big bush and the little woman.
II haven't any pail, " she said. 'Let
me help you fill yours"
She had grown quite familiar with the
old lady in the shaker-bonnet in half an
hour, and the two-quart pail was nearly
full OF the ripe purple fruit when voices
drew near.
"Huckleberries, indeed l wouldn't
touch the dirty things for the world

Oh, there she is, hard at it. with some

them.
care you enjoying yourself?" he asked,
cheerily, of the old lady; and then he
added: "Allow me to present you to my
mother, ladies'"
Mrs. st. Rose took off the shaker-b bon
net, and showed her lovely old face
flushed softly with the exercise and ex-
crtion.
''It has been a most novel and delight.
full afternoon, John" she said. "And
1t is an unusual experience for you, too,
is it not2" turning to the others, with q
look of gentle inquiry. But there was
something in the keen blue eyes which
made Amelia understand that she had
been overheard by the hideous old woman,
The latter took her sons arm, while he
took the pail of huckleberries, and the
party walked slowly out of this Pasture.
That evening, young st. Rose said:
"Well, mother, those are the Misses
Wylie wrote you of. How do you like
them2"
"The youngest is dear httle thing.
l should like her for a daughter" =

Now, as there was nobody in the world
John st. Rose thought 50 much of as his
beautiful little old mother, it is not to
be wondered at that these remarks made
the deepest impression upon him. He
had always thought Vesta pretty. Now,
as he looked at her brown eyes and mod.
est brow, he loved her. And there and
then-fresh from huckleberrying-he re.
solved to win her.
Vesta is the young mistress of the ele.
giant st. Rose mansion in the city now.
She is her husbands pride-his old
mothers darling. The latter tells how
John met her at the station; how she
was seized with a fancy to join the Der.
rying party who started from the hotel
the next day; and what an enchanting
little creature she found Vesta from the
first. So some people were very happy,
while others were disappointed, but Mrs.
Wylie congratulates herself on the stroke
of policy which has married one of hei
