ALMOST A CRIME.

1t seemed as IL Providence had desert ed

hard lot. We do not often find a case
OF such great hardship in human affairs
for, although he had begun life with the
brightest prospects, with abundant
wealth, pleasant home, a loving wife
and children, his seventieth summer
found'him stripped of all save the roof
above his head, and seriously threatened
with the loss of even that.
Twenty long, weary years back his re-
verses had begun in the sudden and dis.
tresslng death of his dear wife; and this
irreparable blow was soon after followed
by the elopement Of his daughter Annie,
the pet and darling of his heart, with an
artful scoundrel with a sham title, who
had probably left his native land across
the sea upon compulsion. The poor
father heard of her but once afterward,
and that was when the news of her sui
eide in Manchester reached him. This
visitation humbled him almost TO the
dust, and brought with it sickness that

and nearly cost him his life.
He rose from his sick bed and an.

ance only the wreck of his former man
hood. His first inquiries were for Simeon,
his boy. No one would answer him at
first; they looked pitifully at him and
kept silent; but when he angrily de-
manded TO know the truth, they were
compelled TO tell him that Simeon, his
only remaining hope, had heartlessly de-
serted hun during his sickness, and, as
was supposed, had gone off to sea. Ran.
dolph Perry did not die with this accu-
mutation Of griefs; he lived on in a
hopeless, morbid kind of way; but no
one had seen him smile since he was told
OF sineon's desertion. That was nearly
twenty years back. lie had dwelt in
the house where he had been bereaved
ever since, with no society save that Of
the woman who attended to his small do
nestle affairs.
This beautiful mansion, standing high
up on a knoll that overlooked the sea,
surrounded with spacious aud cultivated
grounds, had been purchased by Perry
OF its previous owner, who was his
friend, and upon whose assurance that
the place was unencumbercd and free
from all legal claim he implicitly relied.
That friend had died penniless two
years after and now, as il TO remove
from his dreary existence the last ray Of
sunshine, he found himself threatened
with total deprivation of his estate. As
unexpectedly as though the heavens had
dropped upon his bewildered head, he
was notified by lawyer in London that
he held for one OF his clients mortgage
upon the place, executed by the vendcr
few months before the sale, upon
which the principal and interest
amounted TO quite the value Of the
place, and that immediate satisfaction
was demanded and expected

In November, 1883, Thomas F. Da-
Wis, brakeman of the Georgia Pacific
Railroad, was struck by projecting
rock in Tates Cut, Ala, while climbing
up the side of the caboose, aud was Sc
riously injured. The rock which pro-

Of time his heart moved eight inches
from its normal position and was on the

A DAY I'm SoNGLA1JD.

Wandering through the land Of Spring
Have you heard its voices sing?
Throb of earth, swift whir of wing,
Skimming, scudding clouds which film
Harmony
From the glad green of the hills,
And broad blue the sky which fills;
In awakened, gushing rills,
Natures hidden music trills
Melody.
Where the purple lilacs sway,
Blossoms bloom, then float awayl
Listen TO the song Of May,
Hint and hush and whisper say,
Heart, but see
Summer land of flowers not far
Where gold gates of song aiar
Swing back noiselessly afar;
Bud and bloom and music are
All for thee
But from distance family swell
Tink and tone of evening belll
Day is dying, shadows tell
OF a lingering farewell
To the light!
Bathed in showers of ruddy gold,
Sunsets radiant realms unfold;
Now from twilight hands is rolled
Eventide, by stars foretold;
Then-the night.

APPLE BLOSSOMS.

We stood within the orchards gloom,
In youth and courage high,
The apple boughs in clustered bloom
Were Just nearer skyl
And one, a maiden in her pride
A quaint old ditty sang,
With glance, half shy, at him beside,
And thus the burden rang,
o true heart, tits long to partl
Apple boughs are gay,
Sweet buds grow, blossoms blow;
Thou Grt still away.
One fingered, when they turned to GO
Whose path lay DER the sea;
A look, kiss, whisper low,
And plighted fast were we.
He would return to claim my love
When spring buds opened again;
And distant came, beyond the grove.
The woods of that refrain:
y true heart tits long TO partl
Apple boughs are gay;
Sweet buds grow, blossoms blow;
Thou art still away.
A ring upon my finger shone,
He vanished IN the shade,
And the sweet stars looked gently down
Upon happy maid.
That ring is like a star at night;
And in my loneliness
The pressure of its circlet light
Has seemed a soft caress.
o true heart, it's long to parti
Apple boughs are guy,
Sweet buds grow, blossoms,blow,
That art still away.

REV. WILLIAM HAMMOND.
Ministerial Confidence Man, Big.
amist, Etc.
An Accomplished Skin Comes to
the Surface in Florida.

Rev. William Hammond, preacher,
doctor, dead beat, bigamist and all
round confidence man, is an oily
tongued son Of sheol who is kept
moving pretty often by the dis
closures of his evil deeds in other
parts Of the country. The Police
News paid its respects to him last
June, when he was a preacher of the
gospel at Franklin Falls, N. II. He
married Mrs. DR.. Brockway, of
Franklin Falls, and was OPPORTUNITY
defeated by Police Inspector Hans
com and Police Inspector George
Richardson, Of Boston, in a scheme
to appropriate to himself his wife's
property. Hammond has been con-
nected with the Catholic, Dunkard.
Methodist and Free Will Baptist
churches. He once preached at Bed
ford, Mass, where the record he left,
as given by a brother clergyman,
was that Of ian outrageous liar and
Ecentious scamp" At Allentown,
Pa, South Putney, N. Y, Wolf Lake,
Ind, Indian Village and Ligovier,
Ind, he left records of crookedness.
He has been an Odd Fellow, Knight
of Pythias and Patron of Husbandry,
and expelled by each of these orders.
He obtained situation in Montreal
on forged letters of recommendation
but lost it on discovery of his fraud.
Hammond came to the surface re-
Gently for the first time since his
leaving Canada last summer at Ma
con, Florida. He located there, it
appears, last December, and soon got
very solid with the good people. He
represented himself as a widower,
and married one of the most estim-
able young ladies in the place. In
few weeks, facts regarding his past
record came out, and he was indicted
for selling liquor without a license,
and, obtaining bonds, skipped the
country. His bonds have been de-
faulted and Hammond is wanted by
his victimized bondsmen.-TI Illus
trated Police News, Sept. "a, 1887.
