 A COUNTRY IDYL,
BY CHARLES EUGENE BANKS.

Along the city's crowded street she glided, A roseleaf blown from country garden
 straight Into the town, rose leaf unprovided With cen thorn for protectorate. A face as fair as an unclouded morning Of middle May, eyes soft and sweetly blue As Autumn skies, when, feecy clouds adorn-
 ing,
 The snowy curtains coyly peeping through. Der pearly shoulder, unconfined, her tresses All freely stray like finely woven gold Or moonbeams oaxing, with their soft ca
 resses,
 The hesItating lily to unfold. The rustic air, the plain, unruffied garment, Awoke mem'ry of 8 farm house rude, My shelter, ere I knew what care or harm
 meant,
 But dreamei, a child of peace and solitude. saw again the meadowland the clover Bent meath the kiss of fragrant breeze While swallows, darting all about and over, Dipped through the azure, clipped the
 whisp'rlng trees. The brook stole on, low murm'ring to the peb
 bles,
 Reaecting ferns and swaying darodils, Half tipsy bobolipks in tangled trebles Sang ou the gumweed fringing low brow ed
 hills. The placid pond wherein the quiet cattle Stood shoulder deep, beyond the grove of
 oak,
 Where blackbirds meet to chaf and rail and
 prattle,
 As since I've seen fall minded, human folk
  piercing cry, steed murdered speeding A leafet crushed, but only now so fair mole-eyed Fatei the garden needed weeding, But you have crushed the only flower there

HENDRICKS KNEW IT.

Jasper Hendricks, old man Blue Abe Stallcup and several other men farmers in the neighborhood, sat, ont rainy day, about the fireplace in Ten. ness crossroads store. Autumn had just begun to enforce its principles that is, a lingering mildness of atmos- phere had just turned cool enough tc shiver little when the sun had sunk behind the distant timber line. The "evangelist" had made his annual fall visit to the neighborhood, and, assisted by local talent, was holding revival in Round Pound meeting house.
 The party of men in the store had been discussing the main features of the meeting, and in their crude way had been speculating upon religion in general, when old man Blue, deacon and an ultra -religionist, remarked:
 "Wall, gentlemen, it's all right ter talk, but when the hon blows, callin' us ter a final settlement, wy we jest nachully cave; that's all. The bravest man in the world would a leetle ruther stay here, eff he's in his right mind, than ter take the chances in neighborhood Gas feller named Hamestrtag or Hamlet, dunno which, once said,) rum which thar ain't mo- body returned ter tell us the condition uv the craps an' sich. Now Pve a putty strong hope that my after- life will be smooth an' easy, but I'll jest tell you whut's CT fack, I'd ruther stay here CT leetle longer, even eff halter blow with CT jumpin' coulter an' break 8 yoke of calves urcasion'ly, than ter go thar"
 "You air right!" Stallcup respond ed. "At times when we air sorter shoutin' round the mourner's bench we feel like we wouldn't kere eff we wuz called erway at wunst, but airter we git out am see the sun shine the next day, am see the birds erhoppin' erround the straw stack, am lissen ter the ole jaybird that's dun picked a quarrel with the yallerhammer, wy we feel sorter like stay in here . while longer"
 Then Jasper Hendricks spoke. Every one turned to pay him particular at tention. He was the one man in the neighborhood whom no one under stood. He was strikingly handsome tall, with soft black hair that seemed to worm itself into graceful curls. He was not saintly in his de- pertinent. Often at night, while . fu- rious storm was raging, and while the lightning painted in frightful colors .

WHAT A FOOL.

Adeb, the philosopher, was walking along the street. He was weary and hungry. Days had passed since he
 had eaten. He was 50 learned that the common man could not appreciate him. AS he walked along the street in an American city, he thus unused unto himself: "If had only twenty
 five cents with which to appoase my hunger, l should be happy" Just then he saw in front of him, on the sidewalk, crumpled piece of green paper, gradually unfolding. He hur- ried forward and with pre.ense of
 unconcern placed his foot on the
 paper. He stood there firmly. News
 boys jostled him and policemen el.
 bowed him as they passed along but
 he suffered no one to move him. FL
 nally, when he thought no ono had observed that his lingering was pre- meditated, he stopped, felt under his foot, took hold of a piece of pa- per, and, watching the passers- by, , put 1t in his pocket. Then he walked hurriedly away. He felt as though the eye of detective was upon him. He knew that he was in- nocent, yet he fancied himself crim- ins& "lf have only found enough money to get me something to cat shall be happy" he unused. Then he shrank close to the wall, for he felt that some one was looking at him. w don't ask for n dinner" he unused. "All dare hope for is enough to keep me from being wild with craving"
 He stepped into } doorway and waited for the crowdHo pass. People carrying many choice things to cat hurried by him. "I will 20 up this stairway" he said, "and see what have found" He shrank up the steps. The philosopher who WIS not afraid to engage learned men in discussion was afraid of timid women who skulked along with shawls over their heads. wf l have only found enough to get me morsel to eat," he unused, T shall praise God, for then shall know that the philosopher has not been neglected" He slyly opened the paper which he had found. Twod dol lars-two immense, monstrous Amer ican dollars! "Ah, here is feast," he unused. "Picked up two dollars in the street ! Two dollars, surely, but why could not this note have as well been twenty, yea, fifty dollars2 Why should be confined to the finding of only two dollars? Is it not as easy for some man to lose fifty dollars as two2 Why should fate 90 dis criminate against me2 Here I am confined to two dollars, when might just as well have found fifty, or one hundred, for that matter. The god of luck is against the man who needs his | favor. Here am, in need, yea, hun- gry, and have only found two dollars. Fate Is indeed cruel. The changing of the tfgures on this bill would make me happy, but here I am put of with only two dollars. Well, I must put up with it."
 He looked again at the paper and found that, instead of . bank note for two dollars, 1t was only an advertise ment, issued by shrswd merchant.
 "I am completely undone," said Adeb. "Why could not this have been two dollars just as we'll ss this worthless piece of paper7 I am de- 'eived on all sides. I was hungry, and thought that the means for satisfying ny hunger was within my grasp, but have been fooled. Now I must con- 'inue my weary walk. What fool z mani"

 "Gentlemen," said Hendricks. "you air but pore proofs uv yo' faith. Elf you really believe whut you say you do-believe that thar is CT crown that airter while will press with gentle soothin' on your troubled b-ows, you would long fur the time when you mout leave this world. The shinin' uv the sun an the quarrel uv the jay- bird an yallerhammer wouldn't have no influence ter hold you back rum CT everlastin' joy"
 "Hendricks," said old man Blue, "you air CT sort uv CT poet an kain't understan' the feelin's nv CT common man."
 "l'm not CT poet only in feelin'," Hendricks replied, "but eff l was Pd know mo erbout you than do, fur the poet, erbove all others, understands the feelin's uv the common man. It is his perfeck understan'in' uv the heart uv the common man that makes him CT poet"
 "Have you got any hope in the next world, Hendricks?" old man Blue asked.
 "Have you?"
 "Yas."
 "Why?"
 "Becaze, Pve got CT promise"
 "Who made it?"
 "W'y, the Lord, think"
 "Promised you that you would be perfeckly happy in the next world?"
 "Yas," the old man replied.
 "Air you perfeckly happy in this here world?"
 "No, ain't."
 Do you believe that the Lord always keeps His promises?"
 "Yas, I dor"
 "Then why don't you want ter go ter the next world at once? Why don't you pray fur death?"
 "I don't know, Hendricks"
 "I do."
 "Why, then?"
 "Because you don't believe the Lord has made you any promise"
 "Oh, yas, do."
 "Oh, no, you don't"
 "Wall, tell you whut it is, Hen- dricks, no sensible man hankers airter dyin'."
 "He does eff the Lord has made him a promise"
 "Yas, but he wants ter wait the Lords own time."
 "A good excuse" Hendricks replied. ''You want to wait the Lords own time, an you hope that the Lords time will be long"
 "Hendricks, you kain't blame CT man for wantin' ter live"
 "Yes, I can, if he believes that he would be better off in another world" "But he don't know that" "Then he ain't got religion, am don't b'l'eve what God says"
 "Oh, yas, Hendricks. You know it would skeer you nightly eff you knowed you had ter die ter. day" "Pm not religious, but ter know that l had ter die ter-day wouldn't skeer me-" "I think it would, Hendricks." "But know it wouldn't, so now, fur the sake uv argument, let us say | that l have got ter die ter-day.D "Yas," rejoined old Blue, i've ken 'ay it fur arguments sake, an it won't ,keer you, but ef it was sho' 'nuff it | would" "Wall, then, say it's sho' huff" "We ken say it, but that won't skeer you, fur you know it ain't true" ~But I know it is true"
 "What, you know that you are goir ;er die ter-day?"
 "Yes, sir.s

CONFESSED.
One of the Robbers Tells How They
Did 1t.

One of the Robbers Tells How They
Did 1t.
Bill Jones, one of the four robbers cap
tured by Jailor Russell, confessed yester-
day. He told how he and his three
companions, after Kirby had hired the
team, had driven to Sepulveda and
robbed saloon there, and had then
driven down to the Four-Mile House,
where they went through the people.
The most important part of the story was
that after robbing this place they had
driven through this city to the grocery
store on Washington street, where one
of the grocerymen was shot. The robber
named "Shorty." This ends the search
for an unknown three whom the police
were after. A number of people called
at the County Jail yesterday to see if
they could identify the men, and all of
them had been robbed. A man named
Boon, who had been robbed on Mission
road, identified a purse and lottery
ticket which were taken from one Of the
robbers. A man who was "stood up' at
Highland Park on the 18th and robbed
at the point of pistol identified watch
that had belonged to him. The people
at the Four Mile House identified their
lost goods, as also did the people of Sepul-
veda. In consequence of these identifi-
cations there are five charges against
each of the men. To Jailor Russell alone
is due the credit of the Kidding of the
community of these men. No one else
had hand in the matter and he made
all the arrests.

THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.
The Grand opera House Filled with
Lovers OF Music.

The Grand Opera House Filled With
Lovers OF Music.
The Philharmonic Society gave the
second Of its season of concerts at the
Opera House yesterday evening. A fairly
good house was in attendance, made up
Of the friends of the performers, together
with a large element of the class who
enjoy music of the higher order, and are
glad of an opportunity to encourage it's
cultivation. The audience showed its
appreciation rather by attention than by
applause, although certain parts of the
programme were warmly received.
The Philharmonic Society is an organ
ization of amateurs which has been in
existence but short time. Its objects
are, in the highest sense, praiseworthy,
end the patience, industry and good taste
displayed, both by its managers and its
performers, are entitled to the heartiest
commendation. Under these circum-
stances, criticism such as might be be-
slowed upon professional performer is
somewhat out of place. 1t might per-
haps be suggested that certain parts of
the programme rendered last evening
we're rather beyond the powers of any or
ganization of this character with such
limited opportunities for united practice.
1t seems to have been the view of the
society, however, that a moderate sue
cess with Beethoven and Mendelssohn is
more to be desired than the most perfect
work with easier composers. This posi-
ton is by no means an untenable one.
A third concert will be given toward
the latter part of February, at which
gems of French and Italian music will be
presented. Those who desire to join the
chorus or orchestra should make applica-
ton at once to Prof. A. Willhartitz.
