When the mists have rolled in spIendOr
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rills,
We may read Loves shining letter
In the rainbow Of the spray:
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.


We shall know as we are known,


Never more to walk alone,
In the daTnlng Of the morning,
when the mists nave cleared away.
If we err IN human blindness,
And forget that we ars dust.
II we miss the law of kindness,
When we struggle TO be Just,
Snowy winds Of peace shall cover
All the pains that cloud our day,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away.


We shall know as we are known,


Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mis- s have yelled us
From the faces Of our own,
OFT We deem their love has failed us,
And We tread our path alone;
We should see them near and truly,
We would trust them day by Gay,
Neither love or blame uudUly,
If the mists have cleared away.


We shall know as we are known,


Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the Bists have cleared away.
When the aists have risen above us,
As our Father knows His own,
Face to face with those that love US,
We shall know as we are known;
Love beyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe Of daY;
Heart to heart we bide the shsdews,
Till the mists have cleared away.


We shall know as we are known,


Never more to walk alone,
When the day OF light is dSwniDg,
And the mists have cleared a way.

A Young OlrI's Supernatural and


Elusive Bed.FeIIOw.


New York World.I


The good people among the hills
OF Morris county, New jersey, have
found excitement in the case of a
young girl said to be "grievously
vexed of the DEVIL" and whose
condition is as unaccountable as it
is deplorable. The girl, according
to the Worlds informant. is a
daughter Of Elijah Nichels, black
smith Of the Glendon iron company
at Hurdtown. She predicted evil
against her fifteenth birthday.
which fell on the 18th of October
last, and since that date she has
been bed-ridden and paralyzed. At
times there appears under the
counterpane of her bed presence
as Of rat, a rabbit or a cat swiftly
moving from place to place, and
eluding detection. In vain is the
bed stripped, or the patient re-
moved to another place; the "pres-
ence is only powerless to act when
the mother sleeps with the child.
The physicians, no less than the
clergy, and the common folk of all
the countryside are baffled. Crowds
come daily to see the mystery. On
one recent occasion, Mr.. Richards,
mayor of Dover, held his stiff hat
above the "presence," and the hat
received a blow that crushed it.
Violent blows have been given to
the hand, to a cane, and to other
objects held out over the place
where the "presence was, and,
needless to say, attempts to grab
the 'presence" have failed. All the
while the girl lies moaning as if in
terror or pain, and her position in
the bed would be plainly such as to
show that the mysterious move
ments were not caused by her. The
girl has been known to abstain
from all food for the space Of fif-
teen days, and for some weeks past
she has only received little milk
daily, yet her face is fair, and, when
the visitation is not nigh her sleep
is apparently healthlul. Her pa.
rents are plain and honest people,
who view this as an affliction not to
be turned to account for notoriety
or money. The neighbors, unable
to account for it in any other way,
have solemuly decreed witchcraft
against an old woman living among
them, and charms are in active de-
mand.

San Antonio Expres.I


A little furry of excitement was
occasioned recently by a report
made by a hackman that in the
house Of a Mexican woman named
Jesusa Reseudez, west of the st.
Pedro, human skeleton was con-
cealed. The hackman reported to
Deputy Marshal Shardien that he
opened a trunk belonging to this
woman, in which he found a small
box carefully wrapped with a piece
of oil-cloth and the fact exciting
his curiosity, he opened the box
and found it to contain human
bones. Shardien proceeded to the
house In question and made in
quiry concerning the matter, but
the woman denied any knowledge
Of the reported skeleton. Her
manner however, convinced the
officer that she was deceiving him.
and a search of the premises was
instituted. This search resulted in
the finding of the skeleton, the
bones being placed in a bag, all
jumbled together, and hung up in
closet in the house.


The woman was brought before
Justice Houston in the afternoon,
and AN examination of the affair
was made. The woman's statement
to the justice was straightforward
and reasonably accounted for the
Skeleton in the closet" yet sim
gular story withal. She said she
lived here about seven years ago,
and had a boy about fifteen years of
age. She moved to Victoria about
that time, and shortly afterwards
her boy, who was in poor health
while here, died. The remains
were buried near Victoria, and some
time afterwards-about three years
ago, we understandable graveyard
where the remains were Inferred
fell into private hands, and the
owner announced that he intended
to cultivate the ground, and that
parties who had friends buried
there could remove their remains;
otherwise the graves would be OBJ
liberated. The woman'S affection
for her dead boy was too strong to
lose trace of his resting place, and
she had all that was left of him
the skeleton-exhumed. She was
very poor, had no money with which
to purchase a coffin and have the
bones buried in any graveyard, SO
she kept them in box awaiting the
time when she could have them in
tered according to her desire. She
learned their hiding-place in the
trank had been discovered, and,

Possibly, like many>o others, | have
thought much more than | have

wife. AS a wife | suppose / have
endured an average share of a wife's
trials and disappointments. I'm
questionably there is in marriage a
certain disappointment to nine
wives out Of ten, possibly to 999 out
of the 1000. Because lovers are
not husbands, nor husbands lovers.
Nor do | believe it possible for the
husband to remain the lover. 1t is
not so much the husbands fault, as
is charged by so many wives. 1t is
in my estimation but a natural re-
suit. The lover has novelty and
scarcity to spur him on. The
scarcity ! refer to is that of his
adored's presence. When it is his
privilege to see her at any hour of
the day without the formality of a
visit, that presence must lose GER
tain charm. The first shad and
strawberries in market are rated at
a high figure. The appetite is
whetted for them by a long fast, but
when. they become very plentiful
they lose value. This same princi-
pie extends to every department
and working Of human nature. 1t
is of no use TO shut our eyes to this.
Better open them wide, acknowl-
edge the corn, and see if some way
cannot be devised to improve mat
ters. 1t is a mistake to suppose
that the husbands comparative
indifference implies the actual lack
of the husbands love. Only the
vigilance and anxiety Of love is
toned down by a sense of perfect
security and possession. The man
may never acknowledge this even to
HIMSELF but he feels it all the same,
and his acts are based on such feel
ing. Make the man pay some price
for the wife'S presence, and there
would be a change. The fruit
which hangs over every wall is not
deemed worth the plucking. Wives
have themselves much to blame for
the husbands indifference. They
hold themselves too cheap and l
may say also too exclusive. If these
are conundrums, aggrieved wives
can spend an hour or two profta-
bly, in studying them.

her, she placed them in. the bag
and hung them in the closet where
they were found.


A physician of this city, who had
attended the woman's boy while
here, correborated that part of the
story, and declared that some hairs
still adhering to the skull were OF
the same color as the hair of the
sick boy. AS no charge of a Grim
inal nature could be sustained
against the woman, she was dis
charged, and the bones of her boy
will now, no doubt, find a final
resting-place.


AS various and conflicting reports
grew out of the affair, it excited
no little comment on the street.

"Why, my dear fellow" returned the
stout earl, sincerely feeling for his young
favorite in his awkward predicament,
AZ the best advice can give you is to
ferret out these rascals, and find the Or
derly-book again, before it is missed.
When that fails, we will see what can
be done next"


"But how much grace have to make

villainy, before it must be reported at

"I can give you till next Saturday,
when must make up my full weekly
report to Gen. Howe. There is no need
of saying anything about it before then;
and it gives you four whole days to work
in, as it is now only Tuesday morning.
Leave no stone unturned, my good fel-
low, to get at the bottom of this affair.
Much may be done in four days"


"I am heartily obliged to you, my

he felt much relieved and comforted by
the kindness of Lord Percy's words and
manner, "and you may be sure that L
