THEIR PLEDGE.
By EBEN E. RExFoRD.

Yesterday heard what pleased nee as walked
the busy street,
Where the tide of life flowed past me, as two
comrades CHANGED to meet.
I had often paused to watch them, as they
passed me day by day,
For their pleasant faces won me- as they came
and went their way.
"They are manly little fellows" often to myself
/ said,
And hoped their feet would follow where the
best and bravest tread.
They had paused upon the pavement whore a
Turing light was cast
From gayly painted window or the people as
Often strains of merry music foated out upon
the air,
Like the voice of sirens drawing men to sorrow
and despair.
Men were coming, men were going ever through
the fatal door,
Drifting on the tide OF ruin to the rocks JnAt
line lifes shore.
20, God, grant these boys steer safely past the
shore where danger is,
Let the wrecks of manhood warn them; save
them from fate like his"
Prayed l. as the door opened and a Toung
man staggered out,
And his ribald, drunken laughter woke the
echoes all about.
All the traces of his manhood drink had driven
Leaving there the bitter story of his ruin AMI
disgrace.
He went Keeling from the doorway where they
sell to those who'll buy
Shame and sorrow, woe and ruin, with drinks
madness in his eye.
Long the two boys stood and watched him; then
one turned and John, said he,
do you think our lives will ever such sad,
sad failure beg"
SNo," the other answered, proudly; Il will tell
you what Illdo-
will pledge my word Of honor for all time to
come with you
"That III touch not, taste not liquor. Will you
promise me the same?
Come, let's have a temperance order, though 1t
may not have q name. j."
FL win PROMISE" said the other; then they
clasped each others hand
In that warm fraternal friendship which all true
hearts understand;
Clasped each others hand and promised they
would shun the tempting bowl
That would lead them down to ruin of the body
and the soul
Can you guess what Joy it gave me to be witness
of their vow?
was proud Of them before it; was prouder Of
them now;
o. my boys, be wise. be careful; turn away when
tempted sore,
Dash aside the cup that's offered, say youn
touch it nevermore.
Ask of God the strength that's needed, in temp
tation's hour be brave,
Thinking that the way leads downward and its
ends drunkard's grave.

AT THE END OF A ROPE.
VIM. Bartholomew Hanged for Murder at
Easton, Pa.

EaSCOn, Ia.
At Easton, Pa, William Bartholomew
was hanged for murder.
He was pronounced dead in fifteen
minutes He refused to eat any break
fast Or to dress, and was hanged in his
prison suit. His last words were declar-
ations of his innocence, mixed with
curses and blasphemy and demands that
his paramount and Detective Johnson be
also hanged.
Bartholomew was convicted of the
murder of Aaron w. billiard Friday
morning, Sept. 6. 1882. The crime was
at first involved in mystery. Mrs. Dill
liard's story was that she had been
aroused by a noise at the chicken coop
and had sent her husband to learn the
cause when he was fatally shot by some
unknown person. Suspicion soon set
tied upon Bartholomew, who had for
years been intimate with Mrs. Dill
lizard and he was arrested.
Two hours after the funeral
of her husband Mrs. billiard mace
a full confession to the Rev Mr.. Smith,
saying that Bartholomew and she had
arranged the murder of her husband
that she might marry her paramour.
She was to arouse billiard, send him out
Il
cherry tree where Bartholomew was to
be in readiness to shoot him. This plan
was carried out exactly. Bartholomew
was found guilty Sept 90 of murder in
the first degree, the Jury being out but
one hour. Mrs billiard was also CON
vcted and sentenced to death, but her
sentence was committed to life i'm

in her head, neck, and breast.

from the lake. It matters little who
owned the property; it is sufficient to
say that Mrs. Sapphira Dodge, the
widow of a down-East sea cap
tain, occupied it, and there con-
Quoted a home-like but aristocratic
clearinghouse. The array of board
ers around Mrs. Sapphire Dodge's
tables differed little from that in
scores of other resorts of a similar
kind. The gossip was as prolific
among the ladies; the rivalry in dress
and the petty iealousies fOurished there
as they always have and always will
in boarding houses of wealth and ease.
But on the fatal night of October 9,
1871, the house was destroyed, and
Mrs. Sapphira Dodge never again
opened her establishment. Many of
her boarders never showed up again
after that night, and quite number OF
board bills are still unpaid.
A romance grew from the burning of
Mrs. Dodge's boarding house, and a
confirmed bachelor became benedict.
Prominent among the boarders was
Colonel T. c. Frost, a middle-aged at
torney, who did little but collect rent
from half a score of buildings at the
beginning of each month. And then
there was Mrs. Amos L. Matthews, a
widow with an income and two charm
ing daughters. May, the elder, was
tall and willowy, while her sister, Anna,
was plump and round of figure. 1t
had long been the talk of the boarders
in general that if the Colonel had a
very little encouragement he would
have placed his future happi-
ness at the disposal of Miss
May. But the encouragement did
not come, and though the Colonel
was bold in war he was bashful in
matters of love, and had it not been for
the awful fire he had in all probability
lived and died bachelor.
The boarders were all excited on the
night of the fire. Long before they
went to bed that night they watched
the lurid sky and in hushed whispers
wondered what was burning. No one
ever dreamed that they need fear. A
few of the young, unmarried men left
for the scene of the fire late in the
evening, but they did not return.
Whatever became of them Mrs. Dodge
never knew. Their board bills are
among the unpaid.
Every one who knows anything of
the fire of October, 1871, knows how
the flames roared and how the burning
brands rained over the roofs far in adj
vance of the main body of the fiery
hurricane. As it was in scores and
hundreds of other cases, SO it was with
Mrs. Sapphire Dodge's household. They
went to bed that night little feeling
the danger they we're in, and slept
peacefully. Long before the food OF
fire reached the old red brick, Dutch
gabled boarding house on Congress
street, one of the treacherous brands
set fire to the roof. It went like
tvpicaI finder. The boarders had bare
" time to escape with their lives.
Then the streets were crowded with
thousands of homeless and excited
people rushing in mad torrent for the
lake front. The air was sitting with
heat and smoke; the weak were pushed
aside and trodden down by the strong.
Women chung madly to their babes, or
walled for their lost little ones.
Fathers got lost from their families,
wives were separated from their hus-
bands. but on the torrent swept. 1t
was e wild race for life. Such

Senator Beck, of Kentucky, says there
will be Wholesale funeral among the
newspaper reporters if they get him into
more scrapes, such as he is now trying to
get off his hands. The reported rumor Of
his resignation has brought down upon
him an avalanche of letters from not
only his own State but prominent men all
over the country. and he says he has to
answer almost every one of them. He
claims that not only had he never thought
of resigning but was trying to SO satisfy
his constituents that they would give him
another trial when his time is out. And
so, if all the people in his State who write
to him beseeching him to reconsider his
intention of resigning, vote for him, he
will be sure to gst there. So thinks the

just at first, in the very early days of their
marriage, even go so far as to say that
he cannot tell her SO and SO, because it
would be breach of confidence ''It is
nothing to do with you" he will say lit
is only little business matter between my
mother and me, or, my sister and me"
as the case may be.
1t is this phase which is so hard for a
new-made wife to bear-but happily it
does not last long. In spite of the open
book, blank sheet of paper, the guided
and protected idea, with which a man
starts as a husband. if the wife be ordi-
nariIy wise and judicious, in the course
of year there is nothing, repeat it en-
phatically nothing, that the ordinary man
will voluntarily keep from her. They say
that a woman cannot keep secret! Well,
there may be something in that but |
know that / would rather trust any wO-
man / ever knew sooner than l would
trust myself to keep anything from the
dear and charming lady whom | call the
wife of my bosom. I might try might

Blood. The thought is terrible; the
trouble is worse. No ordinary help can
remove it. 1t requires something un-
usual. Do not take cheap sarsaparillas
or blood purifiers. You must have some
thing that has proven its power in both
Europe and America. General Wheat
croft Nelson, of London, says: My
