1t CickIed James.

The Rev. George Madden, rector Of Bal
lybrood, an old bachelor, lived with a
maiden sister, an elderly lady, solemn and
stately, whom he held in great awe. She
was very fond of flowers When arranging
some one morning in the drawing room,
she found Il curious blossom which she
had never seen before. just as she had dis
covered it, her gardener passed the win
dow, which was open. Come in, James, y
she called to him. II want to show you
one of the most curious things you ever
saw" James accordingly came in.
Miss Madder sat down, not perceiving
that the bottom of the chair had been lift
ed out. Down she went through the
frame, nearly sitting on the floor. James
went into fits of laughter and said, well,
ma'am, it is one of the most curious
things l ever seen in my life" Stop,
James, !" said she Conduct yourself and
lift Inc out" ''Oh, ma'am, l can't stop, "
said he Its so curious; it bates all
ever seen" 1t was some time before she
could make him understand that her per-
Torrance was not what he had been called
in to see, and when he had helped her up
he was dismissed with a strong rebuke for

persuasively. Twill warm zee, dear. /,
There was moment of hesitation,
and Weymouth lifted the becapped
head and held the bottle to the lips.
The attack was too sudden and unex-
pected; the watcher was, for some res
son, not ready to declare himself or Il
provoke an open quarrel; the light was
dim, and with much choking and spill
ing the liquor went down an unwilling
throat.
As the peaceful figure with its grand
motherly cap recognized the bitter
dram and rose with fury, a straight
blow from Weymouth's fist and two or
three more that followed, laid the dis
arranged headgear back among the
pillows, and stunned its wearer into
harmlessness. Then Weymouth pulled
the net from its shelf, after dropping
the bottle as If it had fallen from a
tipsy mans hand, and, catching thestout
tongs from the fireplace, he hurried to
the window and opened it softly. 1t
looked far TO the ground, but he hastily
pushed out the loose armflls OF the net

Nothing that opens my heart half as wide

And there in its tenderful trust can trace
The loYelest looks of my bride, and see
In thy moments rebellious reminders of me.
Yes, a sweet little, neat little cherub art thou,
Save when thou art fractions and kick up
row,
And then thou art such true image of me
That no longer charm in thy visage see.
But when thou art lying serene in my arms
Like a pure, peerless sunhash returneth thy
charms,
And kiss aud caross thee with fatherly Joy
For looking So much like thy mother, my boy
Oh live to be all l would have thee to live,
And give to me all l would have thee to give
A name that is Stainless Il heart that is brave,
A hand that is lavish to succor and save,
soul scorning everything lawless and low,
And these, o my boy, thou wilt give me- ]

May God in his love be thy leader through life
And shield thee and save thee through all OF

May every benson he can bestow

And make of thy years one perennial bliss,
And seal my fond prayer with fatherly kiss.

The Journal representative Mr.. J. M.
Cross, had very pleasant call, Tuesday
upon j. G. and G. I. Perley, South Vas
salboro, who are among the many success
full farmers in that good town. Their
farm is situated very pleasantly on an ele-
walton on the east side of that beautiful
sheet of water, known as Webbers pond
They have made specialties of fruit grow
ing and dairying, having for the last 20
years kept large herd of American Herd
book Jerseys marketing their butter In
Boston at fancy prices. They have a large
apple and pear orchard. being among the
largest exhibitors at the Eastern Maine
State fair annually, and winning large
number of premiums on their stock and
fruit. In their garden they have peach
tree, the seed of which was planted by
Miss Perley This is the fourth year in
barring. Two years ago it bore bushel
and half of fine peaches. This present
year there will be more than a bushel.
These peaches are first class, large in size
and fine in flavor, as the Journal can
testify.

breath as he reached for the guttcring
candle that stood on the mantcl shelf.
With the bottle still in his other hand
he went to Rogers and tried to wake
him, insisting that they must soon be
starting, and loudly Offering the en-
courc.remcnt of more drink or more

sotted mans generosity. Rogers was
In a stupor, not asleep, and presently
Weymouth crossed the room to the
other bed; but one thing meanwhile
had been made plain. The candle had
shone into the dark corner of the cell
ing and revealed what his eyes had
anx;ously sought for as he sat waiting
with forced patience by the fire. A
wide board had been nailed from one
heavy beam to another of the ceiling,
making a shelf into which something
was crowded that dropped over the
edge in unmistakable folds; to make
sure he reached to touch it and his
hand was entangled among the cords
of a new net.
There was only one thing to do; man
did not wish to Brighten an old deaf
and crippled body, but careful look
would do no harm, and, though his heart
thumped for the first time, he threw
open the curtains. There was only a
decent old cap with white borders, and
face turned away into the pillows.

the price OF much happiness and peace
of mind.
The squire was lover of adventure,
as has been already said, and he went
hurrying down the street like boy to
overtake the man for whom he had q
great liking.
Tell me more, Weymouth" he
urged. You're tagged to death with
this affair, whatever is at the bottom of
it. Come and we'll have something to-

story. NO, no constablcs till you've

upper inn It's low lodging with but an

shift" and so they parted and Wey-
mouth felt every hour to be a day and
knew that they might be setting out on
long ride and was glad to remember
that nobody would wait ut home for
the squire who was also single man.
They came in good time next day to the
old house above the waterside, to find
it deserted. The door stood open to
the winter wind and it's tenants had
fed. At the other inn where Wey-
mouth had parted from his love, they
got news that those whom they sought
were sailing Cor America and must DO
hiding in Bristol, If indeed they were
not already at sea.
The landlord and his hostlcrs said
boldly, and with an air of great inno-
ccnce and unconccrn, that the country
was well rid of such pacls-they were
not old country folk but late corners,
and their room In England was better
than their company. OF Rogers moth
ing could be heard.
The disappointed riders called for
supper and made the most of tho poor
comforts of the roadside tavern, but it
being then after pightfall Weymouth
slipped out alone ard crossing the road

the Severn. He was at heart like q

must wait for explanation, but, for his
part, he could not wait long to see his
deliverer again. 1t was a wonder that
he was not under the Severn like
the rest. But for the woman he
loved best; but for Elizabeth Brent,
he might indeed be drifting and sway
ing under the tide. the treasure stolen
and he himself charged with the rob-
berry. AS he rode he made the whole
plot clear to himself with its clever I'M
doing; he could never forget the look
of horror on that face in the shadow OF
the settee, when the man whose rob-
berry was planned had proved to he
himself. What pity grew in his heart
for that young creature; an angel, as
she seemed to him, lost among thieves,
The first thing to be done was to
make his report to those who had sent
him out on the GRAND, and then to
take the quickest of journeys to find
her again and make sure that they
should never be parted. So he rode in
short time from Bristol, grudging each
minute, but planning his return with
eagerness.
When he reached the bank and told
his story and asked for help, he was
listened to with surprise and almost
with incrcdulity. Rogers had not re-
turned and the tale of his craft and
dishonor seemed to be questioned The
wrong road; a suspicious den towards
which Weymouth believed himself to
be enticed land which for purposes of
his own he refused for the moment to
describe); the strange liquor with its
deadly drug meant for him, all which
Rogers had got by mistake; all this
sounded even in the days of greater
lawlessness like very strange story.
The senior partner was again heard to
grumble that Rogers was the best
clerk they ever had, and grew more
and more inpatient.
Were you robbed then?" he demand
ed, arrogantly, as if he believed the
worst of these excuses and was ready
to take vengeance, but the squire
nodded shrewdly at Weymouth, as If
they two kept an understanding.

He turned on his heel and left the
room. This is very strange" said the
old man, looking at the squire. "Yes,

the ship, he was there on time. Did
you mind wha: |: !ool: there was in the

But the squire was hurrying after Wey-
mouth and the senior partner was left
alone to wonder more than ever Evil

She was painting for breath; they had
come nearly mile at fine, steady
pace for the most part. There was a
singing in Weymouth's ears as he
shifted the strap of his pouch to the
other shoulder: to see her again was
worth whatever might befall.
"'Twas a hard days ride" he said,
boyishly, ''and here I'm on the road
again"

GEMS IN VERSE.
A Toast.

God bless the free American shorel
God bless her sons who stoutly bore
The banner Of the stripes and stars
Triumphant through her fiercest warsl
May wealth and peace in her abound!
May still she be by freedom crowned!
May virtue, truth and happiness
Her generous sons and daughters bless!
May heavens choicest blessings fall
Upon her children, one and all,
Protect them, Lord, from every harm
In times of peace or wars alarm,
And may their prayer forever be,
"God bless American liberty!"
Yes, sons Of freedom, shout this toast
Through all the land from coast to coast
Until its thunder tones arise
In deafening chorus to the skies,
Till distant lands shall hear the strain
And answer back the glad refrain,
Till round the earth, from pole to pole,
The echoes of its thunder roll,
Till every freeman song shall be,
"God blccs American liberty.'

Under foods that are deepest,
Over rocks that are steepest
Love will find out the way"
But Wcymouth's way was long one.
He lost no time in starting on his quest
and pilgrimage, and his business Of
horse dealing made an excellent excuse
for riding hither and yon through the
newly settled part of the country, find
ing what faint traces he could of tho
emigrants, from the day of their land
ing, but after many months had passed
he kept what patience and hope no
could in the midst of discouragement,
and believed Mt last that fate would
lead him where plots and plans had
failed.
One spring evening, the second year
that hehad been in America, Weymouth
was driving into one of the older
villages, where he had once or twice
been before, and there saw a worn and
wistful face at window, and knew
that the search was ended. 1t seemed
the simplest thing in the world to look
up and see her there after all the mys-
terry and silence; for moment he
could not take in the truth and felt
strangely cold and dull-then q tre-
mendous wave of JOY struck into his
very heart. There We're some young
horses leading behind his wagon and
he was driving an cxcitable pair OF
colts tor whom the sight of bundle Of
straw on a wheelbarrow was too much
altogether, SO that they reared and
plunged and seemed to be putting their
driver in danger. Elizabeth Brent
came TO stand in a door with great dis
tress and discovered Weymouth as his
face turned toward her just as the
frisky company settled to the harness
and halter again, and went on quietly
to the end of their days journey
Weymouth conld hardly stop to give
directions or to care for his livery prop
erty; he felt like Il da2cd nan with
his mind in such a whrl of sudden de-
light and strange tiiaitity, and without
listening to the questions of a group OF
tavern oilers he went hurrying back
d,wp the road.

A Literary Lesson,

When you get 4 bright idea
For story or rhyme,
Don't just set it by to simmer
In your think tank for q time.
You imagine when it strikes you
That to you alone belong
All the seeds Of each new fancy;
But my friend, that's where you
wrong.
For you'll wake up some fine morning
To see some one make II hit
With the very self same story
Or the rhymes you might have writ.
Oh, this age is one of hustle!
Bright ideas are all about.
rs no matter who first gets EN-
If you're first to give 'cm out
'Tisn't nil--with seccls--to sow EN-.
You have got to grind and bake
If you wouldn't have your neighbors
just monopolize the cake
Ghosts.
Three ghosts there are that haunt the heart,
Whate'er the hour may be?
The ghost called Life, the ghost called Death,
The ghost called Memory.
