He felt very shaky as to his friend S nno-
cenee; but then, unless the affair was
cleared up, the Captains reputation was
gone. If he were guilty, the truth could
do him no more harm than would be done
by allowing things to remain IS they now
were.
Miss Ivyleaf by this time was, under
the care of the porter, beginning to re-
cover. When she regained her senses she
was brought back into the room, and Mr.
Farther commenced to question her IN a
gentle tone.
ssMrs. Leaf" he said, sit is of the
greatest importance that we should know
the name of your childs father.
"But he is dead, murmured Miss Ivy
leaf, glaneing at Dr. Blair in terrified
manner.
.sThat doesn't matter" said Mr.. Father.
'It is necessary we should know his
name. Tell me, now, is Captain Freelance
the man ?"
"No, no ~ exclaimed Miss Ivyleaf in
apparent surprise.
''Don't tell us falsehoods = broke IN Dr.
Blair, fiercely ''If Captain Freelance is
not the man, who is p
"He's dead [ assure you he's dead,
said Miss Ivyleaf, imploringly-
'.Dead or alive, what's his name? Who
was he"
Miss Ivyleaf looked at the doctor. Her
terror seemed to give her kind of cour-
age.
'He was your son, We were secretly
married, here is the certificate" T." she said
in low voice.
"Whatw shouted DIR. Blair. Chow
dare you"
'Here he is, sir, interrupted the por-
ter, as he led into the room Miss lvyleaf $
ragged boy.
At the sight of the lad the doctor :
angry words died away on his lips. He
saw before him the very image of George
Blair as he remembered him thirty years

HOPE IS A FLOWER.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
Hope is flower. the bloom of an hour,
Whose petals expand like wave on the sand
Then wither and die in the gloom of a sigh
To rear on its tomb a more beautiful bloom,
Whose fragrance will brighten the years.
This ephemeral life, with its battle and strife,
Would be solemn and drear, with nothing TO cheer
The moments that live in every thought that we
give,
To our wants all untold as we thirst for the gold
That shades every hue of the flower.
This benefcent flower in its golden-hued bower,
Is mortalitys goal as it sweeps through the soul,
To drive dull despair to his Cimmerian lair
And make each today slver-tipped spray,
That will kiss the red blush Of the morrow.
Its tendrils entwine where the bright flowers shine,
With a lustre that grows, while lille gently flows
Der the years that dead, DER the memories fled,
But the wreck of the past is the harbor at last
That beckons for something beyond.
The flower will live, its fragrance will give
A lasting perfume that no time can consume,
As it thriyes in the soul of humanity's goal,
Where its beauty will cling, the same beautiful
thing,
To bloom in Gods garden above.

AT hIS OLD TRICKS.
How a Waynesburg Youth is Said to Have
SwinGled "A Farmer.

How a yyaynesburg Youth is Said to Have
SwinGled n Farmer.
Several weeks ago an account Of the
manner in which two young men OF
Wsynesburg swindled a young school
teacher In a game Of cards was printed
and how their victim caught onto the
game and made the young men ante up
AZ the point Of revolver. 1t is since
learned that one Of the would-be
swipdlers was so chagrined over the
matter that he reported the young
school teacher to to the school directors,
and the instructor was brought before
the board and severely reprimanded.
II seems that this Waynesburg man
has not prodted by the neat manner in
which he was done up by his rival In
the game Of cards, but has adopted
new scheme for raising the wind. Re-
Gently, il is alleged, he secured dia-
mond worth about S75 and offered TO
sell it to q well-known young farmer OF
Greene county. The latter was taken
before a jeweler, who assured him that
the Jewel was worth all that was asked
for il. He was not anxious TO buy, but
being again approached by the owner
who offered the diamond for S25, as he
was pushed for money, he made the ex-
change. Some time afterward the pur-
chaser had his suspicious aroused and
going TO the same jeweler was informed
that his purchase was nothing but a
paste diamond, and It afterwards trans
pired that the Waynesburg man had
done a neat piece Of juggling and
ualmed of the bogus diamond for the
genuine one on the farmer. This latter
gentleman is a man Of muscle, and
many people are wondering why he
does not make the WayneSburg lad
come TO time somewhat after the man
ner OF the school teacher. The alleged
swindler Is fast branching out, and as
he has occasionally been seen on the
streets Of Washington, it would be well
to keep an eye on him.-WdShjngton
