A LETTER SIX YEARS COMING.

Written by Girl to Her Future
Husband and Received After Her
Death.
1t was like letter from the dead
the misSive Frederick Reynolds re-
celved on Wednesday. 1t is a strange
story of letter written and sent years
ago, but which failed to reach it's des-
tlnation. Stories, plays and poems
have been written on such an incident
which has always been looked upon as
an impossibility.
Mr. Reynolds is a colored man, and
six years ago he was keeping COM
pany' with Mary Brooker. who then
lived at Englewood. On Jan. 7, 1889,
she wrote him letter and mailed it
the same day. He never received the
letter until last Wednesday. Unlike
the stories, plays and poems, this miss.
ing letter did not cause any breach be-
tween the two. They kept up CORE
spending, and in 1891 they We're mar
ried. They lived happily together and
had two children. Two years ago Mrs.
Reynolds died.
On last Wednesday the widower was
very much astonished to receive a let
ter in his dead wife's familiar hand
writing. 1t was, as he described it,
an ordinary love letter, containing
sentiments doubly dear to him now.
He scrutinized the envelope carefully,
and saw that it bore the Englewood
postotfice stamp of Jan. 7, 1889, also
the New York postoffice stamp of the
same day, with the time stamp show
Ing that it was received there at 3
p. m. 1t next passed through the New
ark pOstOftice and was stamped there:
Reed Newark, Jan. 76 p. M, 49,
This shows that the letter was given
to letter carrier to deliver.
On Wednesday morning this same
letter was found in one of the letter
boxes. It was taken to the postoftice.
where the asserting clerk found that
1T had been opened. A stamp was
affixed to it, and within an hour the
letter that had been sent six years
ago was delivered to Mr.. Reynolds.
At the postotfice they cannot explain
the failure of the missive to reach it's
proper destination, except by guessing
that in 1889 the letter was delivered
to it's address at SOL Broad street and
some person other than Mr.. Reynolds
received it, opened it, and kept it.until
last Wednesday. The envelope is
stained and looks as though it had
been carried about for long time.
When Mr.. Reynolds received the letter
he said lit is like Il letter from the
dead."-Newark Sunday Call.

illustration o! what was apparently
reasoning in birds mind. A rob-
ms nest and kingbird's nest
were situated in adjoining trees,
each contained young birds. When
the kingbirds saw the robin bring

robins. After being robbed a few
times the robin appeared with a
worm accompanied by two other
robins, and when the kingbird made
his appearance the two extra robins
pitched in and gave him a sound
thrashing, while the one with the
worm fed it's young and seemed to
be laughing all the while. The
game was played until the kiDgbird
gave it up, and now the robin feeds
it's young without help.

The tongue OF SANDER is never

vile of serpent, and like the spi-
der it sings but to deceive. 1t
needs not the: foundation of truth
to begin it's calumnious work, tor to
it mere suspicion is best of all.
1t enters the sacred confines of
the home and buries its fangs into
the breast OF the innocent mother.
Like the deadly Upas tree which
invites to its cooling shade the
weary traveller in the desert that it
may be bis untimely doom so does
the tongue OF SANDER allure its VIC
tins with its siren song only to leave
them bleeding with its accursed
wounds. 1t Knows no sex, station,
and in its infamy it delights to rev.
ell. 1t has no forgiveness for the
weary wanderer who may pe-chance
have stepped aside while wandering
through this "vale OF tears" and it
reeks in its own degradation and
rejoices in the ruin it has wrought.
Let but breath of suspicion rest
against one that it has marked, and
it soon fans the breath into parch.
ing fame. Cold, merciless and
cruel, it gives to t hess, who ask for
ly NORWOOD and gall. 1t wrecks
homes and ruins lives, and yet it
finds, alas too many who are ready
to believe the putrid lies uttered.
Deceit is it's existence and lying is
it's food. It is the human serpent
and fattens on its own poison. Be-
ware of the tongue OF SANDER, and
shun it as you would the Asp of

The words We speak above the
coffined dead are sweet; sweetis the
perfume waited from the flowers
sprinkled in generous profusion
above che silent sleeper, motionless
below; sweet are the kisses pressed
on the cold dead lips which in re-
turn give back no answering kiss,
and sweet the wealth Of eulogy we
spend when words and flowers and
kisses are but empty things. All
these are just and righteous. But,
oh, how sweeter far, if Ger the
stony pathway of our living friends
we'd hide the cruel stones with all
this wealth of fragrant roses so that
their perfume stealing in the tired
heart would make lite sweeter while
he lived. Oh, if the words of eulo-
gy which beat in vain upon the
ears that hear not, were spoken
while he made his fight, how many
a weary soldier in this strife of life,
out from whose nerveless grasp the
battered sword had almost slipped,
would catch again his falling arms
a1d struggle on with courSge burn>
ing brightly. Do not wait to kiss
the cold dead lips which feel them
not but lay your tender kisses on
the lips which thirst for sympathy
and love, and thirst perhaps in vain.
The flowers sprinkled on the coffin
lid of death are beautiful: the flow
ers which bloom along this way of
life are richer, sweeter far.-La
