A TERRIBLE SCARE.
Each Took the Other for a Desperate
Murderer.

Somewhere about eighteen years ago
of Lycoming and Clinton Counties in
Pennsylvania, and right on high ridge
of the Allegheny Mountains.
In front of the schoolhouse ran an old
military road, known as the Jersey
shore and Condersport turnpike road,
running on the ridge for some ninety
miles.
The nearest Postoffice was at Jersey
Mills, five or six miles away, and on Sat-
urday l used to go there to get my mail,
and because there was some other at
traction.
Among the scholars, in fact, ma
jority of my scholars, were some chill
dren named Zinck, belonging to three
brothers living in the district.
The Zinck family was a large one, and
one member of the family, George, had
committed horrible murder a few
miles from my schoolhouse, but had
been discharged on the ground of in
sanity At this time he had returned TO
the neighborhood of his crime, and was
known to be wandering around in the
woods, armed with a Winchester rifle,
two revolvers and a heavy boweknife,
and had plenty of ammunition, and the
whole neighborhood was frightened.
AS usual, one one Saturday started
for my mail, and walked down the bank
of a small run in a canyon, with the
mountains rising almost abruptly from
it's winding course. An old log road had
been there, and there was still pretty
good path, winding with the course of
the stream.
AS I went along I came to a point
where the mountains on each side of the
run rose more abruptly than in other
places, and where there was a bend in
the road I had a good, stout birch
stick with me and in my pocket a good
sized claspknife.
When l got to the bend of the road /
was Mortified to see at the other bend,
some hundred yards away, a man, APP
parently armed with rifle and pre-
pared for action.
l knew if it was George Zinck could
not escape by running, and, climbing
the mountain at that point was out OF
the question, so l opened my knife and
held in my hand ready for action.
In the middle of the bend I met the
man. and as I raised my hand to try and
sell my life as dearly as possible. 1 saw
an uplifted knife in the hand of the
other man, who was much taller than I.
Another moment and we would have
been hard at it with our knives, but our
eyes met, the knives dropped from our
nerveless fingers; we almost fell on a
guard log alongside of the path, and it
was fully three minutes before we could
either of us speak, and then the words
came simultaneously from our lips, Il
thought you were George Zinck
The man / met was the Baptist
preacher, going UP to preach in my
schoolhouse.

A BOYS FIRST CIRCUS.
The Enhancing Thoughts He Has of
the Peerless Coralie.

A thud of unseen hoofs first set us
a-quiver; then crash of cymbals, a
jangle of bells, a hoarse applauding
roar, and Coralie was in the midst of
US, whirling past 'twixt earth and sky,
now erect, flush, radiant, now crouched
to the flowing name; swung and tossed
and nodded by the maddening dance
music of the band The mighty whip
Of the Count in the frock coat marked
time with pistol shots; his war cry,
whooping clear above the music, fired
the blood with a passion for splendid
deeds, as Coralie, laughing exultant,
crashed through the paper hoops, re-
lates a writer in "Scribner's." We
gripped the red cloth in front of US.
and our souls sped round and round
with Corale, leaping with her, prone

IN COSTUME.

When the autumn days come stealing,
With temptations to spin,
The whole family goes a-wheeling
If the leisure he can win.
And my boy and girl, their mother,
And myself to set the pace,
Love to banter one another
To the chances of race.
There has come a likeness striking
We've been told it Ger and Ger
When we've dressed ourselves for hiking
That was never seen before.
For the girl looks like her brother,
So the neighbors all agree,
And our son looks like his mother,
And our daughter looks like me-

Thy tale Columbia is not told,
Much of the riddle is unread
We simply gather of thy gold
We gather all our hands can hold,
And go the way our fathers led.
Four centuries are but a breath
Between eternities so long,
We cannot tell what lies beneath,
What futures aeonS may bequeath,
Yet thou art not too young for song.
Behind these centuries are years
Whose secrets are locked up with God.
Their monument unlettered rears
With pedestal well worn with tears
Which mutely mark where others trod-
And yet we cannot read the psalm
Whose sacred measures held the past.
Through all this cold historic calm.
There only comes the restful balm,
That it was fruitful at the last.
Cnconsciously it held in trust,
Most sacred trust, a continent,
Which come to us unmarried by lust
The surest proof that they were just,
Who held brown hands of their consent.
We took the proffered gift from them,
Fresh, as from natures crucible:
From their rude hands received the gem
To place in freedoms diadem-
Our hearts should like our hands be fun.
Full of the praise that outleaps prayer,
That recognizes providence,
That sees the fruits of thoughtful care
Shine out around us everywhere,
That changes doubt to firm defense.
Not less the honor due to him
The comber's son of Italy,
That later triumphS may make dim,
And conflicts in perspective grim,
Claim the first fruits for liberty.
She is immortal, and her flight
UnmeaSured with the length of time.
Through every age with garments white,
Has beckoned through the blacklist night
Her hosts against usurping crime.
Fault free for him we cannot claim,
He lived too closely to an age
Whose license crimSoned all with shame
Whose heroism was made tame
BY superstition's binding rage.
Not ours to magnify his fault,
Who gave mankind another world
Let that be sealed within the vault
That holds his dust. Who dares assault
To swift oblivion should be hurled.
Still, through the ages shines a name
Far to the front of all the rest,
Whose inspiration made no claim
Yet reached the capstone of all fame
