4 Littie Rhymed Story.

The wind was blowing over the moors,
And the sun shone bright upon heather and
whin,
On the gravestones hoary and gray with age,
Which stand about Haworth vicaraEe,
And It streamed througha window in.
There, by herself, in lonely room
lonely room which once held three
Sat q woman at work with a busy pen,
Twas the woman all England praised, just
But what for it's praise cared she?
Fame cannot dazzle or hattery charm
One who goes lonely day by day
On the lonely moors, where the ployers cry,
And the sobbing wind as IL hurries by
Has no comforting word to say.
SO, famous and lonely and sad she sat,
And steadily wrote the morning through,
Then, at stroke OF twelve, laid her task aside
And out to the kitchen swiftly hied.
Now what was she going to do?
Why. Tab6y, the servant, was "past her
work,"
And her eyes had failed as her strength ran
And the tolls, once easy. had one by one
Become too hard, or were left half-done
BY the aged hands and slow.
So every day, without saying word,
Her famous mistress laid down the pen,
Re kneaded the bread, or silently stole
The potatoes away in their wooden bowl,
And pared them all over again.
She did not say. as she might have done.
"The less to the larger must give way.
These things are little, while am great;
And the world will not always stand and
wait
For the words that l have to say"
No; the clever fingers that wrought SO we'll.
And the eyes that could pierce To the hearts
intent,
She lent to the humble tasks and small;
Nor counted the time as lost at all,
So Tabby were but eontenti
All, Genius burns like n blazing star,
And Fame has a honeyed urn TO nll;
But the good deed done for love, not fame,
Like the water-cupi In the Masters name,
Is something more precious still.

Beecher at Liverpool.


Rev. Mr.. Buckley, who was present
at Mr.. Beecher's famous Liverpool ad.
dress, contributes an account of the
proceedings to the December Century.
From ii we quote the following
"After he had read for fifteen or TWEEN.
ty minutes q loud roar was heard,
Shut up that paperp which was i'm
mediateiy responded to from the other
side of the building, He can't get
along without a bookp 'He don't
know enough to speak p He Is q cow
ardP From another place came the
question in a shrill, piercing voice,
Where did you steal your sermon?
ain less than two minutes the whole
audience appeared to be in motion.
Men were pushing and elbowing, yell
ing and shrieking. One man in par
ticular would jump up about two
feet, howl and then sink out Of sight.
The police began TO move about with
an expression of good humor upon
their faces, pushing men with both
hands extended. For the space of
three or four minutes Ii was impossi-
BILE for Mr.. Beecher to be heard. He
made several attempts to finish the
manuscript, and practically did; and
then began to handle questions with
the incisiveness, wit and occasional
outbursts of eloquence for which he
was famous. The disturbers had sense
enough to see that they had aroused a
lion, and that they must break him
down or he would carry the great
bulk of the audience with him. They
resorted to every means imaginable,
except violence, to accomplish this end.
"Mr. Beecher's voice, when he was
excited and spoke very loud, had a
roaring sound. They would pitch
their voices upon the same key, so
that when he ended a paragraph in a
clarion tone, taking the same pitch,
they would below like score of in
furiated bulls, and continue sometimes
five minutes at a stretch; for when
some would be out of breath, others
would take it up, and the first would
come to their help again. Meanwhile
Mr.. Beecher would talk to the minis
tiers on the platform, of whom there
was q large number, and occasionally
to the reporters. He would say TO
them, Gentlemen, am talking to
yo1 and, through you, to all England.
If l should not be heard at all by this
audience, and you shall take down my
words, thirty millions of people would
read them He was calm enough at
one time when the roaring was going
on to crack three or four jokes, as II
he were conversing in a parlor; and
the moment the rioters stopped, from
sheer physical exhaustion, he screamed
out, Il have talked to these reporters.
They have got down all have said.
There is another idea out, catch it il

KUMLATELY AND THE SKELE-
TON.
BIZ WILL YIssCHER.

When Mr.. Kumlately was q youth
which was q long time ago-he was
a clerk ia drug store in Kentucky
town and was getting along admirs-
bly, in the business, until a partner In
the firm for which he was working,
who had been studying for the COM
mendable purpose of adding himself
as one more doctor to the meagre
ranks of that profession, returned from
a medical college, bringing with him
in a candle box the disarticulated
in q jailyard with the assistance of the
sheriff. This box was deposited in the
ante-room of the drug store where the
youthful Kumlately slept under his
bed, indeed. Shortly afterward the
drug clerk discovered the presence of
the jailbird's anatomical "pi," and he
kicked with much energy, and-if the
rhetorical incongruity may be allowed
with much fuence and volubility.
Mr.. Kumlately remarked at this time
that he wouldn't 80 much mind the
presence Of q skeleton with which he
had enjoyed the pleasure of a former
acquaintance, while in the flesh, but
he was bitterly opposed to occupying
the same bedroom with a strange skel-
eton and especially one of question: BILE
moral character. A discussion ensued
but all of the doctors natural and
memorized eloquence could not move
Kumlately from the position held
He had drawn the line at strange and
immoral skeletons, and those who
know Mr.. Kumlately knew tha: when
he draws line, though it may be
somewhat crooked, or q little out of
plumb, that line is as immovable as q
mortgage, or a bad character.
With some expressions Of indigna-
ton and other things unfit for publ
cation, that new and at that time latest
style of doctor, carried the box of
bones and bewildering names away,
but shortly afterward returned it,
surreptitiously, and again placed 1t
under Kumlately's bed. Uncon-
sciously Kumlately roomed with that
depraved skeleton several days, but
one night while looking under his
couch for burglars, or q nickel, or
something Of the kind, he discovered
that same old box of disreputable ossi-
fications and thereupon he dragged 1t
out, carried 1t to steep place by the
unzAlted sea, which fingered near, and
threw It overheard with imprecstions
