LIES STORY.

Two lovers by a moss grown spring;
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair
And heard the wooing thrushes sing.
0 budding time
o loves best primel
Two wooded from the portal slept;
The bells made happy carolngs,
Tho air was soft as tanning wings,
While petals on the pathway swept.
Opure-eyed bridel
y tender bridei
Two faces DER a cradle bent;
Two hands above the head were locked
These pressed each other while they rocked
These watched life that love had sent

Two parents by the evening fire:
The red light shone above their knee5,
But all the heads by slow degrees,
Like buds upon the lily spire.
o patient life!
O tender strifei
The two still sat together there:
The rcd light shone above their knees,
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left the lonely pair

The red light shone above the floor
And msd the space between them wide;
They drew their chairs up side by side;
Their Pale cheeks joined. and said, Once

Duty on Wedding Cake.

An incident in red tape proceedings
comes from a Hiram, o., correspondent:
A few days ago small sealed package
came to the Hiram post office, addressed
TO young lady, and stamped at the
New York custom house, where all for
eign mail must be examined, Supposed
liable to custom duties" This made it
necessary for the postmaster to notify
a custom-house officer to come from
Cleveland in order that the package
might be opened in his presence and
examined by him and the proper duty
assessed, which possibly might have
amounted to half of his travelling ex-

Singular Accident.

Manager Brown, of the rolling mill at
Findlay, O., drew $500 from the bank
the other day, and putting the package
of bills in an outside pocket OF his over
coat walked up the railroad track TO the
mills. A train passed him and spark
fell from the smokestack into his pocket.
When he discovered it the ire had
eaten clear through the center of t, !
bills, leaving only the two ends of each
bill unframed. 1t was lucky that
enough of the money was left to be re-

Silent for Thirteen Years.

There is said to be a farmer in Bridge
port, Conn. who has not spoken to his
spoken to him, although the two are on
good terms. 1t appears that one morn
ing in June, 1875, he came into the
house and asked his wife to hurry up
breakfast. In her hurry she dropped a
plate and spilled some hot coffee on
him. A row was the result and it end
ed in her saying she would never speak
to him as long as she lived and he
swore he never would speak to her.
Since that time they have never ex-
changed word. Their children do all
the talking for them, and each one is
waiting for the other to give in first 1t
10 bound to come in time and then one
may well imagine that their talk will be
an interesting one

looked into his kind, selions eyes, and
saw there that which rejo iced her more
than the sight of the green oasis re-

She saw new life before her, with all
that happiness that he had often pact-

Discovery was threatened, when he

guided Mason Belmont to the house.

Save for the tragic fate of the un-
| happy being who persisted in the de-
| struction of the house, | cannot regret
that it has been swept out of existence.
| To me it would ever be a place of
horrors.
Now you know all. You know the
life l have lately lived, the crushing
burdens have borne. You know why
l have avoided you, why l fly from you
| now.

Well, let me go on. You are large
of soul; you are generous far beyond
the power of most men.
VIII you still urge me? Do you re-
mind me that, with those deaths that
have lately occurred, ] am freed from
all control, from all fear of conse-
quences, and that / should offer no
further impeachment?
Randall Belmont, stop and Think
You come of proud and wealthy
ancestry. In the city where you live,
you are, or will be, known of all men.
You belong to its business, to its So
ciety; high honors must be waiting for
you in coming years.
Your wife must be one that you are
not ashamed of; whoever she be, her
history will be examined, questions
will be asked and answered about her.
And if | could occupy that place,
think how the question, "Who was
she?" must be answered by the hor-
rible but truthful words, "She is the
daughter of the man who murdered
his father for money, and buried him
in the cellar!"
Because the story must become
known. Once L thought that would
keep it forever hidden in my breast.
But you see why | am compelled to tell
you; and now, others must know it.
You must recover the remains and
give them Christian burial at your
home; the whole shocking story will
be known there.
Or, if not, how would it be with
yourself? Would you like to be face
to face, for life, with the woman whose
father murdered yours? Could you
endure that?
No! There is &c escape from the
conviction that, whoever else may be
joined together, we two must be for
ever sundered.
Farewell, then, forever! You have
tried to make me happy, but it cannot
be. May God reward you as you de-
serve. 1 love you too well to make
you wretched. JEssICA.
