I told you roses ne’er would wed Their bloom to wintry air. But then you pressed my lids and said, The rose you loved bloom’d there 1 I said the wintry sain was bare, The sun fai out of view; You smiled and vowed my golden hair Was sunlight unto you! 1 said the woods no more rejoice With notes more sweet than words; But oh, you whispered then my voice Was sweeter than the birds; And still whatever charm 1 named That lends to spring delight, You for your own lov’d maiden claimed, And lived but in her sight 1 Blow, chilling winds of winter, hlow! Whilst love the heart illumes. Life’s roses still exist ’mid snow, And spring eternal blooms! Roll, heavy clouds of winter, roll! Love, from tho dark hath thrown A sunlight over heart and soul More bright than heaven’s own. The Money-Maniac. “Help! liolpl for the love of God, help!” Faintly borne on the fierce, shrieking wind of a hitter New Year’s Eve, this cry rung out weirdly over a vast Western plain, whose winding-sheet was a white, sparkling carpet of snow under the moon’s pale light. Anil Tom L'sle, the young son of a veteran border trapper, was crossing the lonely white tract on this night, home ward hound from the settlements, and heard the supplication for aid—recognized the voice as that of a man, and urged on his pony with a chirp, while lie rubbed his nose and ears vigorously in order to keep up the circulation, for the air was keen and frosty. “U’lang, old boy; cheer upyer spirits, far it’s not many miles further we’ve got to travel this orful nightl” spoke the young hunter. “Hello! what was that? —aery of distress, and in a man’s voice, ’way out here? Jupiterl it's a mighty poor place for a lost ’coon, out. on Rig Flats, durned if it ain’t. G’langjfaster, Jack, old boy, and lot’s see what thcr rumpus is about.” By the uso of voice and spurs tho jaded pony was induced to strike into a faster trot, though very little headway was to be made in the deep snow. With all his senses on tho alert, Tom Lisle listened for a repetition of the cry, that lie might obtain a hearing. But it came not, though the wind caused weirdly mournful sounds in its fierce flight across the plains. On—on —on the steaming pony floun dered, while the youth strained his gaze ahead through the diin starlight over the surface of the winter’s white shroud. Then, all ofa sudden, the animal reared abruptly upon its haunches, with a terri fied snort, and would have darted away, but Lisle’s strong hands held the reins in a firm grasp. “Whoa! Jauuary! what ails ye uow? Ha! by Jupiter. I think I see!” Ho was out of his saddein a twinkling, and waded around through tlie snow to where a dark object was distinguishable, lying half-buried from view. It was a man —a wild, haggard, savege looking specimen of humanity, unro re sembling some wild beast, perhaps, than aught else. A horrible leering face, ter ribly furrowed and scarred: eyes that burned with the fascinating fire ofinsanity; hair and beard heavy, matted, snarled, and the form clad in ragged, tattered garments. Somuchitwas that Tom Lisle saw, and then he knelt beside the prostrate form, and producing a flask from inside his hunting-shirt, he poured a quantity ot liquor between the parted lips, that re vealed a row of teeth, more like the ivories of a waif than of mankind. The liquor went rioting through the lost 'rav eler’s veins; his eyes shone with increased brilliancy; words, at first scarcely audible, but growing steadily ia volume of sound, came to his relief. “Why did you rouse mo?” he spoke, clutching at the snow, wildly. “I’m a raving madman, boy, at times. I came out here to dio, hut the furnace of hell is not quite to white eat yet. Hal I fancy I see the old Satan frying me, and sea soning my spirit with brimstone. Yes, I am mad. I had a furious fit, awhile ago an’ I fit myself. They call mo tho Money- Maniac, because I love gold. I went to California fifteen years ago, and dug for gold. I got it— i GOT it; great bulks of the shining ssales of Purgatory's walls. I was over-joyed. They say it drove me mad! mad! But what care I? All of it shall not buy me from the devil. Gold! gold! gold I Ohl how I have worshiped at thy shrine! ” Then a sudden rift of white passed over the man’s face, and he seemed more like a sane person, though his eyes burned fiercely. “What is your name?”he asked, watch ing tho young hunter sharply; “tell me your name, for I havo somethin,!? import ant to say, Hurry, for I would tell you before I got mad again mad I mad! ” “My name isTora Lisle, stranger,” the youth replied, nervously, for he had never before encountered a maniac. “Tom Lisle!” repeated tho other, thoughtfully—“ Tom Lisle! I will put it wny down in my memory, where I will re member it. And now, listen. “I am a madman, but sane enough at times to know wh it Tam about. Yoars ago L went to (Jalifomia and acquired an immense fortune —immense beoause it is counted by millions. I wont mad, and fearing I should be robbed, I buried it in a lonely portion of tho wild West. I sta tioned a guard to watch it—a faithful j Indian who was my slave from ch oice. “I have a child —a beautiful girl of eleven now; this fortune must go to hor. “Ten years from this New Year’s Eve, go to the spot whore is buried my gold. will find there my Indian slave, Red Pino, or, it he is dead, another guard commissioned by him, who will know all. “Show him these gold bullets,” and lioro the Money-Maniac placed in the youth’s hand thruo rifle-bullets of gold, a packet of paper and a gold ring; “show him these bullets, and he will give you tho gold, He will then take you to my child, and you will show hor this ring. By this she will behold in you tho man I have chosen for her husband. The packet of paper is a map of my treasuro-trovo. “Now go! leave me! go, and in ten years do my bidding. Go no sooner, no later— then— Now Year’s Eve, ten years henco. Hurry! depart! for I fee! it coming on —the madness; I’m then loro cious.” “What? and leavo you here to perish!” Tom Lisle demanded, in horror. “Yes; I want to die. Don’ttouch me, or I’ll scratch and bite you; and you’ll go mad, too. Leave me your flask, then get you gone. And my curse ot gold go with youl” The flask was given over without a mur mur, and after a last look of horror and sympathy upon the suffering maniac, tho trapper-hoy turned and mounted Lis pony, and sot out over the white-shrouded plain. And the howling wind pursued him and rung in his ears the cry that ever after haunted his life: “Gold! goldl oh I it’s all mine I” * * * * * Five years later, Tom Lisle was stand ing, one summer’s afternoon, upon the bank of the Missouri river, idly watching a steamboat that was puffing along on its way southward, when suddenly his eyes became riveted upon a man, who, from an upper deck, was wildly gesticulating to him. A man in tattered garb, and with wild, streaming hai rand heard, and burn ing, sunken eyes—Tom Lisle, now a man, recognized him, even though five years had passed since that wild blustering night on Big Flats plain. It was the Money-Maniac I Or was it his apparation? That was not the last time the borderer saw the frightful face, he it dead or alive. Once he beheld it pressed to a window pane from the outside, while he was sit ting in a St. Louis hotel; again it glared at him through the window of his own cabin, away out on the far frontier. And even was the hideous face a visitant to his nocturnal slumber; it haunted him, night and day, as tho yea rs rolled by, prosperous to him, and the world wag ged on. * * * * * The expiration of ten years from that eventful New Year’s Eve, when he had found the maniac upon the plain, discov ered Tom Lisle riding along in the mellow moonlight, through a broken piece of country contiguous to the North Fork of the Platte river. He was a man of six arid-twenty years, now —a brawny, stal wart knight of the West, handsome, brave and fearless. Wcdl mounted, armed and previsioned, he appeared at homo upon the trail—for he was following a trail, which was out lined upon a pen-map hold in his hand. Nor was it far he had to go, for a snow covered cabin loomed ahead, during the next hour, and he reined in Lis horse be fore the door. “So this is the treasure trove, eh?” he ' muttered, glancing sharply around. “Surely it is lonely enough, if them's all the requirements. Hello! there, inside; d'ye keep stragglers?” In answer the door swung open, and a grim, stolid-faced Indian stood upon the threshold, rifle in hand—a burly old fel low who showed his age in evety linea ment. > “Waghl what does tho white hunter want?” was the query, and the savego never let his eye leave the horseman. “I want the money of one who called himself the Money-Maniac!” replied Tom Lisle; “soe! I am the right man," and he laid the throe golden bullets in tho palm of his hand. “Good! the hunter is right. Red Pino will givo up the white miner’s gold, and lead the way to where the white maiden dwells in the squatter’s eabin!” was the rcplv. “Let the hunter oome with Red Pine!” So saying tho Indian turned hack into the cabin, and dismounting from ho horse that had borne him many a mile, Tom Lisle followed suit. Inside were warmth and rude frontier comfort, to which Tom Lisle was used. “White minor Rod Pine’s friend,” tho old savage went on; "once saved Red Pine’s life, an' Injun no forget it. He stay hero fifteen years watch b old. Wagh!” Fetching forth a pick from among other implements in tho cabin, he pried up a log in tho floor, and rolling it to one side, a hole in the ground was revealed. Out of this the red-skin fished a dozen or more buck skin pouches of various sizes, and with a fast beating heart Tom Lisle proceeded to examine their con tents. Goldl gold! pure, shining gold, in nuggets and in shining dust—Tom gave n great yell of delight as he gazed at the glittering treasure. “Ileapee much nice!” Red Pine grunted, enjoying the hunter’s surprise. “He go for Lily-white minor’s girl.” And when the Indian returned with Lillian Grayol, Tom thought he had some how gotten into wonderland. She was, he found after further acquain aneo, a rough, uncut diamond —a wild flower grown up in the wilderness, untrained and uncultivated. She was beautiful ot face and form, with a sunny nature; quick (o comprehend, studious. And all that she lacked was education, which Tom Lisle lias given to her in the last two years. And this New Year’s Eve will see them united in matrimony, as happy a couple as fate ever brought to gether. With their marriage may the Money-Maniac no longer visit Tom’s dreams. Tho novelty of the happy occasion will he the groomsman, who will bo no other than the aged and faithful Rod Pine. - RUSSIAN PROVERBS. Praise not tho crop until it is stacked.
