They are not lost who go before, And walk with Christ that blessed shore, Whose sunny heavens open wide To earth’s incoming, ebbless tide. Our gentle friends has reached that shore; She kissed us at the open door Through which we caught a glimpse of one Whose face was shining as the sun; Through which with dazzled eyes We saw tlie glory of the upper skies, And fields of everlasting green Witli Jordan’s rolling tide between. What hour she died we could not tell; Like music from a smitten bell, That lingers when the hour lias sped, We heard her voice when she was dead. The light that beamed upon her face In life’s last hours was full of grace, And beautiful as that which beams On angel faces seen in dreams. No tongue can tell how we shall miss Her healing world, her soothing kiss, How oft she bore serene and calm To wondered hearts the cup of balm! She kissed us at the open door The good-niglit kiss of heretofore; Outside the balmy breath of morn Stole softly through the rustling corn. We think of her as not afar Whose crown shall he a morning star; And ours shall he again once more Her kisses at the open door. G. V. Maxliam, in the Hartford Times. Wv S Cl Y/L L VV&OT3 S. Extract from Ingersoll’s Sx>eecli. Whoever does right clothes himself in a suit of armor which of prejudice could not penetrate, but whoever does wrong is responsible for all consequen ces to the last sigh, to the last tear. You are told by Merrick that you should have no sympathy, that you should be like an icicle, that you should be God like: that is not my doctrine. The higher you get in the scale of being the grander, nobler, tenderer you will become; kindness is always evidence of greatness; malace is the property of a small soul, and whoever allows the feel ing of brotherhood to die in his heart becomes a wild beast; not a king’s crown or a disputed sword, nor the judge’s robe, become them with one half so good a grace as mercy does, and yet the only mercy we ask is the mercy of an honest verdict. I appeal to you for my client, Stephen W. Dorsey, because the evidence shows he is a man of in tellectual horizon and sky, a man of genius, generous and honest. Yet this prosecution, this government, these at torneys, representing the majesty of the best republic that ever existed, have asked yon not only to violate the law of the land, but also the law of nature. They have maligned nature, they have laughed at mercy, they have trampled on honest humanities and liavo even made light because the wife, in this trial has sit by her husband’s sidq. There is a painting in the Louvre, a painting of desolation, of despair and of love; it represents the night of the Crucifixion. The world is wrapped in shadows, stars are dead, and yet in the darkness is seen kneeling a form, it is Mary Magdalen with loving lips and hands pressed against the bleeding feet of Christ. Skies were never dark enough nor starless enough, storm was never fierce enough, nor wild enough, the quick bolts of heaven were never lurid enough and arrows of slander never flew thick enough to drive noble woman from her husband’s side. [Ap plause.] And so it is in all of human speeches; the holiest word is “woman.” A Little Word of Four Letters. There is to be a wedding soon, tho way to which was paved with so much delicate ingenuity by the lady in the case that it is worth recording. Tho gentleman had been an accepted suitor for months, but had never even re motely alluded to the wedding day, and the lady, tired with so much waiting, made up her mind to prompt him a little on the first favorable occasion. It happened in this way: They were sitting in the garden, and as was his custom he was making himself agreea ble by gallant speeches, in one ot which he alluded to her as “darling.” He emphasized the name by a tender pressure of the hand, and remarked that “darling” was the sweetest word in the English language for him. . “Do you think so?” she asked in a tremulous voice: “there is another name that to me is far sweeter.” “What is it, darling?” asked the lover, rapturously. “.Inst a little word of fonr letters— wife”—she answered with a gentle confusion, and there was nothing lef} for him but to ask her to decide the day when he might call her by her favorite name. —Chicago Times.

There are few houses in it; and the congregation that gathered every Sunday at the parish church came chieilv from the farms that were scattered broadcast over the sur rounding country. The vicar was the Reverend Herbert Gardner, and he was the happy father of some half a dozen children, the eld est of whom, Mattie, was a charming girl of twenty. There was little society in the village, and Mattie’s chief ideas of the world at large were drawn from the occasional visits she made to a rel ative who lived in the neighboring county town. Still, though she was homely and unsophisticated, there was none of that affected simplicity you so often see in girls. She was a frank, fearless, outspoken girl, full of life and spirits, and never so happy as when rambling about the old vicarage garden, picking basket fuls of roses for some sick hoy or girl and carrying with them sunshine into some darkened home. And ia such works of real love and charity the last few years of her life had been mainly spent. Her father called her “his curate;” and, as the living was a small one, she was the only cur ate he had. Mattie had been free as yet from “heart disease,” though a neighboring squire’s son had made several awkward attempts at love-making; and, though Mattie quite recognized the compliment he paid her, she never lor a moment re garded him in any other light than as a friend, and remained herself perfectly heart-whole. This had happened when she was eighteen, and time had gone on smoothly enough, and at twenty she was still happy in her uneventful lot. But the smooth run of life’s wheels was interrupted at last and the wheels were jolted out of their usual track; for about this time there came to the vill age a young surgeon who was looking out for a good opening for practice, and had determined to settle down here. Asa matter of course, he and Mattie often met in the houses of the poor, and, although not a word of love passed be tween them, people began to associate their names together, and to speak of what might happen as a certainty. One day when Mattie was, as usual, amongst her roses, a servant came to say that Doctor Robertson had asked for her father, and, as he was from home, for her. When she entered the room with her basket of roses on her arm, the doctor might well be excused if he wondered which were the fairer— *he rose in the basket or the rose with the basket. If such thoughts passed through his mind he quickly put them aside, for he sard: “I came to ask Mr. Gardner it he would step down to old Silas Jones, who is very ill with fever. They are very poor, a-nd any help you could give them would be of more use than medi cine.” * “Papa is from home,” she said, “and will not return till to-morrow. But I will take him some beef-tea and port, if you think that would be good for him.” “Nothing could be better,” said the doctor. “But you must not go there yourself for fear of infection lam going past the house and will take them myself if you will give them to me.” “No, thank you doctor,” said Miss Mattie. “I never shirk my duty nor delegate it to others.so I will take them myself.” “Anyway, let me walk with you if you are going now and we can talk about the case as we go.” In a few minutes the beef-tea and the wine were ready and Mattie sallied forth with the doctor. And this was the way they talked about the ease: “It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?” “Glorious!” said Mattie. “What has become of you in the evenings lately? I used to see you fre quently, but now you are never to be seen.” “Minnie has not been well lately, so I have staid at home on her account. It is pleasant to know that someone misses me,” she said, laughing. “I miss you a great deal, Miss Mat tie—almost as much, if not quite as much, as your own people do. This is Jones’ cottage; so now let me take the things in.” “No, indeed; I shall go in myself,” said Mattie. “No, decidedly no,” said the doctor. "It can never he your duty to rush into uncalled-for danger. I am obliged to see these people, so let me take the basket in.” From that day it began to draw on Mattie’s heart that here was one man who missed her when she was absent and who tried to keep her out of dan ger. And little by little this thought grew bigger and took root, until there came a sort of echo to it, which said, “I miss him, too. I wish he had not to risk his life by going to see fever cases.” And from that day there was less cordial friendship and there was more shy reserve in her intercourse with the doctor. And sometimes Doctor Rob ertson did not know what to make of it, and one evening he said. “What havel done to vex you, Miss Mattie?” To which she replied: “Vex me! Why, nothing, of course! Whatever made you think you had?’ ’ “My own stupidity, I suppose,” re plied he. “I should be very sorry to vex you, Miss Mattie.” “Then don’t talk about it, else you will,” she said. “What a lovely rose that is! Would you i giving it to me to show me that yhit are not vexed? said the doc tor. “There are plenty on that bush, she answered. “You can take as many as you like.” “But won’t you give me that one? I am going away for a fortnight and it will be a keepsake—if you will give it to me. Do, please.” “If you really want it you shall have it,” she said, as she took it out of her bosom and gave it to him. And, he, as he pinned it in his coat, said: “It will remind me of a rose even fairer than itself.” “For shame, doctor,” said Miss Mat tie. “I will not stop to hearsnch gross flattery”—and away she ran toward the house. “Shake hands first,” he cried. “I am going to-morrow, early. One may get smashed up on the journey, so I should like to part friends. It is a long way to Manchester.” She gave him her hand, saying: “Good-bye, Doctor Robertson? I wish you a pleasant journey.” He had been gone about a week when, as Mattie was coming down the street, if street it could be called, the doctor’s housekeeper was standing at the door with a paper in her hand. When Mattie drew near, the old wo man cried out: “Laws a mussy, Miss Mattie, hut do’ee read this paper. My own eyes binna so good as they oneest was,” and the old lady held out a crumpled newspaper. And Mattie read: “On the 24th inst. at the parish church, Manchester, James Robertson, M. D.. only son of Peter Robertson, M. R. 0. S. and L.S. A., of Manchester, to Sarah Elizabeth, daughter of the late Isaac Jefferson, of Poitou.” For a moment Mattie was speechless with mingled feelings. Then came the reflection that this garrulous old wo man must not see her pain. And sum moning up all her resolution, she said: “If you write to him, wish him much happiness for me.” in the solitude*of her chamber she looked into her heart and learned her secret. This man, who was another’s husband, had made himself dearer to her than any one on earth could be; and she had been mistaken in suppos ing that he cared for her. Oh, shame, shame, to love where she was not loved —to give her heart unasked! Still, she never told her love—the secret was her own, and she could keep it inviolate and meet him on his return without flinching. And, although she had no power to put him out of her heart, she could and would prevent her mind from dwelling upon him. One morning she heard that the doc tor had come home. She was stand ing amongst her roses with a very sad heart, when she saw Dr. Robertson passing up the road with a lady. He lifted his hat to her, and she tried to return his salutation as she would any other friend, but somehow the warm blood came to her cheeks and it was but a stiff and unfriendly little bow that she gave him. And while she stood thinking of it all, and wondering why she should be so unhappy, she heard footsteps behind her on the grav el walk, and turning, saw Dr. Robert son advancing eagerly to greet her. Again the crimson tide flooded her face, making her look very lovely in her con fusion. But she managed to stammer out something about ‘Glad to see you,” when the doctor broke in with: “Not half so glad as I am to see you. I have been to a wedding since I left Slapton, and enjoyed my holiday im mensely.” “Yes, I know,” she said, “I saw your wife walking with you this morn ing.” “Did you, indeed?” he said, while a smile of quiet joy lit up liis face. “And where were you looking when you saw her in the glass?” She looked at him quickly, then her eyes dropped before the expression of his, and again the telltale blusli over spread face and neck. “Where did you see my wife, Mat- “In the road,” said Mattie. “No, that was my sister,” he replied. “In the newspaper,” she urged. “That was my cousin,” he explain ed. “Come here. Did you look in the glass this morning?” “Yes,” whispered Mattie. "Then that’s where you saw my wife —if you saw her anywhere.” And, of course, that settled it; and you all know what happened as well as I can tell you.

Not a Sensation But Simply a Sad Story which Contains a Moral. Telegraph and Messenger. About two months ago there appear ed in the fragment of Macon’s society circle, left at home to fight the perplexi ties of the heated term, a young lady, whose name suggested at once one of the proudest and wealthiest families of a certain city in Georgia. The lady had not received the full rich inheritance of high culture and education that had fallen upon each generation of the fami ly, but she had been endowed with na ture’s gifts, and none were fairer than she. Reared in the lap of luxury, pet ted and humored in every caprice, she discarded every attempt to cultivate her mind, and at the age of eighteen, when she stepped forth from the chrysalis of girlhood into the brightness and beauty ol womanhood, she had no education whatever, and with the exception of knowing how to finger the ivories of the piano to a few common airs, had no accomplishments. In fine, she growed up a child. The last daughter of the family; no restraints had been thrown around her, and the father perhaps never bestowed a thought upon her being any more than a pet child to stroke his whiskers and coyly ask for pin money. She came to Macon, and flitted about among her friends, and then suddenly disappeared. Her friends thought very strange of her conduct, hut remember ing that she was given to whims and caprices, supposed she had returned home, and soon after the visit was for gotten. One day last week a party of Macon gentlemen were out bird hunting some six or eight miles from the city. Two of them stopped at the house of a negro woman, living far removed from any other person, and had tho woman to cook them dinner. While waiting for the meal they espied, through the part ly opened window of a room, a beauti ful girl lying upon a bed, apparently sick. In a private way they made known their discovery to the woman, who seemed somewhat vexed that they should have seen the girl, and said that she was a young lady from Blank, who was in great trouble. The sight of the pale, beautituLface, haunted one of the gentlemen, as he was certain that at sometime and some place he had seen it before. He taxed Ills memory until he found the key to the mystery. He remembered that he was at the Express office about two months before, and while waiting to be served saw this same young lady receive a package of money, the amount of which he did not know. Our friend is something of an amateur detective, and all that afternoon while shooting his shelTs his mind was busy putting together the little tliises and little tliats, and knowing of the circum stances of tho sudden disappearance he finally became certain that the beautiful young woman lying prone on the bed in an old negro woman’s house was no other than the petted and spoiled child of fortune of another city. Our reasons for withholding names are obvious. Our reason for mention ing the circumstance is to do what little good we can in directing the attention of parents to the moral which can be so easily drawn from this sad story. The parental eye can never be too watchful of the conduct of the daughter blossoming into womanhood. Valuable Propertyfor Sale.
