There s something la the b9oath of spring
No words can well express.
When Ianguid JOY awakening
Grows faint from loves excess
TITS not the laughter In the skies
The murmer of tho stream
It's something only love can prize;
The heart lore OF a dream.
Lay thy fair cheek upon my breast
My we'll beloved and sing
Some tender strain Of youths bequest,
And loves remembering.
Wen breathe the balm OF budding wales.
And dream the hours away,
And when the rose Of sunset4hales
by soodlet naunts wen stray.
Wen watch the fountains tinted Jets
And midst the golden gloom
Wen scent the purple yiolets
And pink pale apple bloom
Life has no sweeter JOY than this,
Of earth, and yet divine.
And who could wish for deeper bliss
With love so pure as thine.

FATHER WALSER FREED.
Coroner Finds That Unknown Per-
sons Were the Murderers of
Miss II eichIin

Elyria, o., May 6.-At the end of
rather complete investigation into the
cause of the death of Agatha Reichlin,
who was murdered last Thursday
night, Coroner French, of this county,
Tuesday evening gave as his conclusion
the verdict: 'That Agatha Reichlin
came to her death from wounds in
ficted by stone in the hands of
person unknown" The investigation
was held in the presence of a large
and deeply interested crowd of wit
nesses and specta tors. The conclusion
reached by the coroner resulted in
the freeing of Father Walser from con-
fnement later in the evening
The witnesses examined included po-
licemen who had been called to the
Reichlin home at 1870 Friday morning
and Casimir Reichlin, brother of the
murdered girl. Rev. Charles Reichlin,
another brother, also testified. The
concensus of the testimony of the wit
nesses was favorable to Father Wal
ser's claim Of innocence and in sup
port of the theory that burglar or
some other desperate man had com
mitted the crime. Capt. Ketchum, of
the police, testified that the blood
hounds did not pay any more atten-
ton to Father Walser's bed than to
the other beds in the house.

Didn't Recognize Himself.

Col. Mcclure is said to have been
the narrator of the tale of the
travelling Celt who, stopping for night
at a Harrisburg hotel, found the
rooms all engaged. The best the
landlord could do for him was to put
him in the same bed with one of the
negro employees of the hostelry. The
Irishman rebelled at first, but finally
consented, leaving explicit directions
that he was to be called early in the
morning. A party of politicians who
had heard the arrangement between
landlord and guest paid the waiter
to black up his roommate before
going to sleep. In the morning when
the Celt was called, he arose, made a
hasty toilet, descended to the bar
room, sent in his order for break
fast, and asked for a drink as an
appetizer. AS he raised the glass he
caught his reflection in the mirror be-
hind the bar, and rushing wildly back
to the landlords room cried out:
Faith, an yez huv woke up tn
wrong mon! Twas the Oirishmon-
not tn naygur-r-that wanted to be
called ar-rly!"-Philadelp Times.

1 thought heard Some movement
within, and gave a gentle tap at the
panel. There was no answer. I
tapped again. Still silence!
l turned the knob gently, and
thought, as I did so, "What if she
has gone away as she threatened?"
MY heart gave great throb at this,
for could not bear the idea of hav-
ing her leave me. There was some
thing about her which drew me to-
wards her, and was she not, after all,
little Amaranthe? No matter what
she had done, or seemed to have
done, she was still little Amaranthe,
the daughter of Eugene Darlington
my old friend, and the niece of the
dear ladies at the Hall.
I pushed open the door. The room
was dark, the blinds closed, the green
shades drawn closely. There was
sickening odor in the room, at which
my heart sank way, way down.
What if she were dead? What if my
attitude towards her had been too Sc
we're? What if she, poor, lonely, I'M
protected creature, had taken her
life, here, under my roof, where, in
stead of suspicion and injustice, she
should of all places have found Sc
clusion, confidence and the kindest
of care? We send missionaries to
the heather; shall we not minister
to our own?
l CROPPED my way cautiously in,
q h. c+r - ;-.l,
from the open door, began to see
more clearly. 1 looked, fearful of
looking, towards the bed. No, she
had not left me. Her slight body
was there. Was her spirit there
also? She was pale and still; a
white cloth lay across her eyes and
brow. My dress made a slight
rustling sound. How glad I was to
hear her voice say, weak though it
waS:-
"What is it?"
The odors in the room were nau-
seating. I ran to the window and
raised the sash, and let some of Gods
mild summer breeze and shining sun
into the room. She cried out at this
and clasped her hands over her eyes.
ooh! OH" she said. 81 cannot
bear It'll" I wondered what it was
she could not bear, whether the sun
shine or her thoughts.
"What is it" I cried. "What have
you taken? What is this dreadful
odor? Are you i'll? Amaranthe! lit
tie Amaranthe! are you ill?" She
YEARLY dragged the cloth from her
forehead, and opened her eyes stu
pidly.
what was it, she muttered, "that
they gave se-those-men?
1t made me stupid, sleepy. The room
is full OF it. Ah!"-she snuffed at the
fresh, sweet air-''how good!"

said the old gentleman in gray, ''but

I won the heart of Mary Anne
1t happened in this way:
I'd often watched the girl in church.
And thought I'd like to go
Picking berries in the meadow
On summers day.
Yes, often when the preacher rose
And shut his eyes to pray,
Then Mary Anne she'd peep at me
Till | was in glow
I won the heart of Mary Anne
1t happened in this way:
Upon a sunny afternoon,
When we had mown the hay,
Now, Mary, would it not be NICE"
/ whispered sort of low,
Picking berries in the meadow
On a summers day?''
Then Mary Anne, she took her pail
And came without delay,
I rather kind O. think she guessed
For girls do guess-but OH
I won the heart of Mary Anne
It happened in this way:
I don't care much for berries,
But I'd some'h'n sweet to say.
0 Hemlock, how I trembled
Would she answer EYES," or "No,"
Picking berries in the meadow
On q summers day?
80 Mary Anne I stammered,
She dropped her eyes of gray;
But soon I saw dimple flash
I kissed it auckland 10,
I won the heart Of Mary Anne!
