old deserted turnpike some distance above [. Here 1t was so dark that he could scarce sec an object three pacCs before him, but he managed to find the path, and took thu horse to the very spot where he had found him, and tied him to the same tree.
 He felt d great burden lifted from his breast. He seemed to be just awaking from u troubled dream. Cramped by his long ride, his stiffened limbs seemed hardly able to carry him to the village.
 Danger was over; q fcw moments more and he would be in his bed resting from his toilsonc journey.
 Allen reached the turnpike, and had just stepped out of the narrow path into it, when tall dark form sprang upon him. Before he could make an effort to resist, he was seized by the shoulders and hurled to the earth. A hand cutched his throat and sharp bright blade glittered in the star light above him, while voice almost sti- filed with hate, hissed in his ear.

the hostess, in polite French, which was Greek to him, invited the tired traveller into the house. The good lady, evidently some maiden relative of the little dumb boy, was in ecstacicS at the arrival Of the child. but not more delighted than tho little fellow himself His laughter, clapplng hls hands and dumb show indicated excessive pleas tire.
 AHcn's arrival seemed to have been cx- pected by Mile. Camille and her servants. It seemed to hlm that she was standing in the door waiting for them. The madcmoi- sclle was pleasant-looking old lady, with large dark eyes and soft, iroa-gray hair. She did not possess d single feature that in- dicated distinct family resemblance to either Bertha or the child. Yet thosc tears and those emotions of joy at sight of the little dumb boy was proof positive that he was very dear to her.
 He IS ln good hands and will be well cared for, thought the editor, his heart re- licved by an approving conscience.
 He was ushered into the house by q rlu- latto boy, and conducted to the end of q long corridor, where the negro pointed to q room indicating that he was to occupy it.
 "Can you speak English.a the tired traveller asked.
 The mulatto shook his head, and then, showing Allen a bath, made him understand by signs that dinner would be ready for him as soon as he was ready for it. The tired editor found a good bath quite re- freshing, and when he had dressed don- ming the wrapper and slippers which were brought him, he felt almost himself again. The mulatto then conducted him to the din ing-roOm in the basement at the rear of the house. Two colored walters, who spoke nothing but French, brought him m eX ceilent repast, to which he did ample justice.
 When he had satisfied his appetite the same mulatto boy conducted hlm to a bedroom, where be was made to understand

Commend Us to the Arab.

A couple of Americans meet, grab each others hands, and you wonder how much water they have contracted to pump Tn five minutes. An English man hears a friend and they pound each other on the shoulder, while you look on nervously, wondering who will draw first blood. Frenchmen meet, and they fall to kissing each other, while you go off in corner and feel sick. Italians fall into convulsions. while you are hunting for the doctor. The Portuguese hook their chins over each others shoulders, as if they wanted to find which pocket holds the handker- chief, while Spaniards hug each other with tears streaming down their faces, leaving you in doubt as to who has died; but the Arab, when he meets his friend, advances toward him, they join hands in firm pressure for just mo- ment, and then, without a grimace or movement of the lips, raise their own hand and touch it to their lips, saying afterward: Welcome sight. The whole thing is done with dignity that is thoroughly manly, and yet with hint of tenderness that is nothing less than beautiful. Boston Transcript.

IN a DREAM.

Tho old farm house, I sec it agasn: in its low dark caves, the tw.tterng wren
 ls nestled as long ago; And l breathe once more the south wind 8
 balm, Ana sit and watch, in the ty:light's calm,
 The bat fit to and fro. The white cows lie at the pasture bars And the dairy, cool. with it's tns and jars
 l. stored with curds and cream: There's somebody putting the things to right, And through the window see the light
 From the tallow candle glean. The garden is rich with it's old-t;ne bloom, And catch, in fancy. the faint perfume
 Of blossoms danli with dew: And over 1t all the starlit dome And round about it. the peace of homo
 How 1t all comes back to view! The night wind stirs in elm and oak And up from the pond comes the breezy croak
 Of the bull.trog's rich bassoon; And catch thc %leam, as over the brink There peeps W tn | tremulous. shvallag blink,
 The rim Of crescent moon , ~l comes back from the dusk of time With the mousnful cadence and swell Of
 rhyme
 That Is hal: remembered still laH@ q measure from some forgotten strain, That hauntngly comes and fees again. And under dusty, twilight sky, It, mingling floats with the plaiIttvc cry
 Of the desolatc whippoorWil.
