untold misery Is depicted in this pa- tient facel The struggling white hair clings In thin wisps 10 the ema- ciated temples, already damp with the dews of death. The knotted hands, roughened by years of toll, He tranquilly folded upon her breast.
 All alone she lies without one soul to soothe the aching head, without one gentle voice to soften the bangs Of bitter agony; and the fast glazing eyes gaze tixedly out into the gusty night.
 But is she alone? Nay, even now the door creaks upon it's rusty hin- ges-'tis probably the wind. The sufferer turns her weary head and To. upon the threshold stands a glo- rious vision clad in robes of shining light, whose pure, spiritual face glows with divine pity; pity for the friendless outcast deserted and for gotten of men. At sight of it lu- minous pallor overspreads the face of the dying, the glazing eyes grow strangely bright, transfiguring the poor clay with q grand unearthly beauty Then, with smile of in- effable peaee, she stretches forth her arms in glad welcome.
 And the gentle messenger gliding swiftly, silently over to the I0wly bed, gathers the tired soul tenderly to itself and scars away with it, up, up beyond the stars to the realms of everlasting rest

TIE DESTROYER.
 The clock has just chimed twelve The ghostly moon, weird monarch of the night, glares down upon the snow-enshrouded earth, and the rude north wind whistles ana moans.
 Within a luxuriously furnished room, surrounded by every comfort that wealth can provide, lies a young woman. The faint rays of night lamp, stealing through the silken draperies of her bed, reveal the quiet head upon the pillow, a beautiful head, crowned with mass of fair curls; but alas! upon it's per feet loyeliness the moIdy finger of disease has too soon set it's blight. The delicate features are pinched and drawn, the eyes closed as though in slumber, are deep sunken, and where their dark lashes brush the cheek. glows bright crimson spot.
 Bessie e her couch, with haggard, care-worn face, kneels a young man, his tear-stained eyes fixed in anx- ious entreaty upon the physician opposite, who Is counting the fec ble pulse. Profound silence reigns broken only by the labored breath ing of the sufferer.
 Suddenly another presence enters the room and without bidding stalks up to the bed. Strange, no one seems to perceive it! Yet, look! the face of the sufferer has grown ashen pale,-she shivers uneasily- the great eyes open wide with ter. TOT to behold grinning at her.-oh horror!-a tall, gaunt spectre in a mantle of thick darkness.
 With fear frozen upon every feat ure, the helpless victim stares at the grewsome intruder, then as though seeking protection, she turns to the man beside her. He clasps her in his arms with a sickening dread, murmuring brokenly: My little one, what is it? What has fright ened you?"
 Who is that standing there?" whispered the girl. Don't you see? There. Oh, take him away! See his burning eyes! They are eat ing here into my heart! He is com ing nearer! Look-his bony hands they are trying to clutch me. Good God! Save me from himI Don't let him take me away from all I have! I don't want to die, I'm so young-so young" The weak voice grew more piteous. "I'm afraid-everythin is so dark-and cold-I'm choking! freezing! My God! a-light-"
 But the grim messen ger dra @s steaIthily nearer, ever nearer the shuddering form and cruelty, relent- Iessly tears it away from life, from love. from happiness; bearing it out into the mysterious solitude of eter- nifty.
