She gave a scream and reused her.
self, and stitched on little longer.
Stitched until the candle sunk in its
socket, and began to waste away in
along, blue, noisome train of smoke.
She could sew no longer, but she
did not rise and creep into her child
ren's bed.
A lethargy was stealing over her,
but us it fell she could see visions
of splendid fruits, of bouquet tables,
of dripping wines. See them? aye,
taste them, smell them!
She was cold no longer she felt
nothing; but amid all she heard
rap, rap, rap! Some one at the
door. Who could it be? She tried
to move. Thinking of her children,
fearing for them, she crept feebly
to the door and listened. Was it
the drunken wretch down stairs?
She made an effort and spoke:
"Who is there?"
No one heard her. Some one
wrapped again. Then she opened
the door and peeped. No light was
there. Only deeper shadow in the
shadows, and voice that said:
"Who lives here?"
A voice she knew voice of the
dead. Margaret was sure she was
mad, or there were such things as
spirit voices.
"Who lives here?" it said again.
And she could only utter faint
cry. Then two arms caught her to
broad, warm breast, and she heard
her own name uttered, and she
knew no more.
The winters sun was high when
she awoke, and the hearth was heap
ed with blazing logs. A merry
chorus of baby voices fell upon her
ear, and some one bent over her.
No need to ask who. She closed
her eyes, content, and chung more
closely to the loving arms that held
her. For awhile she could only be
passively blessed, hardl y understand
ing how the sea had given up its
prey. 1t is an old story of the des-
ert island and shipwrecked sailors.
How one died, then the other, and
at last but one remained to hail
with tears of joy the tardy vessel
which came so late to rescue him.
But this the captain told her when
she could listen. And this he tells
often now to his children by the
fire. And then he lifts his hand to
heaven and says, solemnly:
"And, thank God, He brought me
when He did, for one hour later and
| should have found no Margaret
only frozen bit of clay to weep
over"
While Margaret creeps into his
bosom, and hears again the signing
wind and the pattering rain, and
wonders at heavens mercy.

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLAN EOUS.
ONLY LIVE FISH SWIM UP
STREAM.

Akkkh4as
In all avenues of labor,
In city, hamlet, hillside. plain,
Men are ever seeking power.
Seeking fame, or seeking gain;
But 20 all who seek for treasure,
Inspired by some fairy dream,
This sage maxim should remember
Only live fish swim up stream.
He who hopes, but is inactive,
Wishing for earth's golden store,
He may wish till deaths stern summons
Bids the wisher wish no more,
But with unfaitering faith and courage
All may hope for joys supreme;
He who wills is sure 10 conquer
Only live fish swim up stream.
II difficulties, dangers, perils,
Confront and threaten on every hand,
Remember he who braves no conflicts
Lives the life OF half man.
But TO him who fears not danger.
Falters not at perils unseen,
He IL is who proves the moral
Only live fish swim up stream.
Let us then, though tempests gather,
And the way seems dark and drear,
Fight the battle still more bravely;
Farther on the ways more clear.
He who hopes TO be remembered
Must with courage calm, serene,
Live noble life Of action
Only live Ash swim up stream.

COLUMBUS DAY.

To-day ushers in the four huudredth
annivery of the discovery of America
by Christopher Columbus. What
mighty changes have occurred since
the noted sailor landed in this conn
try. Not only have the savages and
wild animals been driven back or ex-
terminated, but populous, prosper
GUS people taken their places, and in
stituted the grandest free government
the world ever knew.
America to-day is the greatest coun-
try on the face of the earth. All other
nations bow before her in awe and adj
miration. We have the freest people
and highest civilization ever knownto
Christendom.
To-day witnesses the dedicatory ex-
ercises Of the great Columbian Worlds
Fair at Chicago in honor of the dis
covery of America by Columbus.
Governors and potentates from all
parts Of the nation take part in these
appropriate exercises. The fair and
exposition to be held in that city will
overshadow anything of the kind ever
before held in this or any other coun-
try. Hearty all nations of the earth
will be represented there. The differ
ent States win vie with each other in
making magnificent displays.
1t is well and timely that this day
be celebrated over the entire Union as
a national holiday. 1t is Columbus
day.

No Show To-day.

There are at least 10000 people in
town to-day, who came to see Bar
NUNS great show, and much disap-
pointment is felt because no exhib-
ition could be made by it, the ground
being SO soft that heavy wagons mired
down, hence could not reach the show
grounds at all.
a series OF mishaps belated the show
trains, which did not reach here until
after ten O'clock, and after unloading
and making an effort to reach the
grounds, out near 18th street on the
East side, the wagons were brought
back and reloaded upon the cars. To-
morrow an exhibit is to be made at
Little Rock.
AS it is, the show is the greatest
loser, since it had to pay ont much
money here, and received none in re-
turn. II would have taken much
money away that will now remain.
Our merchants will get much of this
money, and the people receive in re-
turn something that will do them some
good.

upward aud onward, whether it be
pursued by one man or host of men,
Courage, energy and fixed determine

POLITICAL SENSATION.
Exposure of the Secret Workings of
the Gideonites in North Carolina.

A political sensation was sprung
yesterday, in North Carolina, by the
exposure of the secret workings of
the Gideonite's organization. Two
men, named NJ. l.. Reed and j. S. Bell,
both leading Alliance men, made a
sworn statement, to the effect that S.
Otto Wilson, state chairman Of the
Third party initiated them into the
order. Bell first declared he could
not consent to join unless Wilson first
made full revelation of the character
and purposes Bell found there was
only thirty members in each couaty
and not over 800 to each congressional
district, all being specially chosen for
influence, and as the men who could
be relied upon in an emergency. It's
solemn obligation is to implicitly obey
all orders of the county district, state
ana natlOnal.
Chief Wilson said the purpose Of
the order was to promote the Third
party movement,
Bell, upon hearing all, told Wilson
that he regarded the organization as
dangerous, and said it would result in
the destruction of the Alliance and
Third party. The State constitution
expressly forbids any secret political
organization, having been prepared to
cut out a union league and kuklux |
These are the demands for the arrest |
of Wilson and those who aided him in |
forming the order, and grand juries |
have been called upon to prosecute
them for a gross violation Of the law

NThe SUNNY Side of Life. 2

The lecture by DIR. IIedley at the
opera house, lest evening, was the last
lecture ofthe Y. NJ. G. A. course, and
it was fitting finale. The audience
was large one, but not SO large as
the character of the entertainment
warrants The lecturer is gifted
man. His flow of language is some
thing wonderful, His powers Of de-
scription marvellous, and facial express
sion perfect so far as the comedy in
his lecture gives scope His lecture,
"The Sunny Side of Life" should be
heard to be appreciated. 1t makes
