This is her hadow, nothing taftre;
The cjt that wear uo smile far mine,
The eilcut Ups that laiigfccd before
The hair without ita wave and ehino,
Thia maak that ahowa no (park divine.
Bow calm and cold it looka at me !
Her evea wore full of ahadc and aun;
A look that rippled like the aea
Acroaa nlioea lineal the light wiuda run—
A gleam, a cloud, a tale begun,
Thia ia the veil her aoul put on
To run the weary waya of earth,
Anil when her brief, bright race waa won
Hhe laid it down beaido her hearth,
A worn-out thing of little worth.
It ia not ahe that fronta me here
Thia apeecbleea aspect, still and cold;
I knew her fair and sweet ami clear;
A clinging girl, with heart of gold,
And hands that clan]>cd with tender hold.
Waa it a gentle prophecy,
This silent, transparent mould of clay,
To let the loving round her see
How soon that soul must flit away,
That fluttered, panned, but made no stay?
“Not here, Imt riai ii.'" Oli, hugepkoug
Htill falling soft on hearts tjiat weep '
This ia tile dead, whose eelma long
Her Muster's messengers shall keep
Hafe in earth's undreaming sleep.
But alic w)in wme this mortal guise
Has fled beyond our tearful atgbt;
Joyful aud strong, serene and wise,
K!ir lives upon ths hills of light,
Aud traits uC|n that k avunl.v height,

“Tltnna ain't uo -ww- nrying, Toil, we
must try again, that'* all.”
“Hut I’m ko tired,'' whimpered Ted,
digging hia knuckles into hia eye*.
“Bo'm I tired,” responded Jack in n
voice full of tear* which he bravely re
pressed. “Let's go over there and try
our luck again. I’ll play for ye, hut I
can’t sing. II hurts me here," placing
hia hand oil lii* obeat.
They crossed the street to a [kil
where a group of men where standing.
Jack's hands, numb with cold, could
scarcely hold fit* squeaky violin, while
Ted’s feet shuffled clumsily on the side
walk in a vuin attempt to keep time to
the dismal music. Warmly-clad men
and women hurried by, never deigning
to glance at the young mandrels. Doubt
less many A them, whoMoutod at their
warm firesides, would shed teal* of pity
over a graphic uewspaiior account of
two homeless boys, si wilding iu the win
try twilight, the thermometer at zero,
striving to cars sijlUciaut to induce their
souls to abide a while longer iu their fam
ished boilies; yet on this particular even
ing not one of the hundred jxaloatrinHH
paused to look at the lit tle fellows. Even
the lean, hungry dog that had lieen
seareliing in Urn gutter for a bene, slunk
sway, as if tludiug it unpleasant to
come in contact with misery greater
than his own.
“'Tiiiu’t no use, Jack,” said Ted,
“people won’t take the trouble to And a
penny for us when it's so cold.”
Jack nodded a doleful assent to the
words, tucked the violin under his arm,
and the two walked away in a listless
manner. They wandered on for some
time, anil finally stopjied before a house
siul gazed with longing eyes into the
basement dining-room where a family of
three persons were seated at tire table.
‘•C>li, my! it looks niee iu there,"
whispered Ted. “Look, .Tack, they've
gut turkey an' sweet Jtertwters! Wish
we had some. Bee that girl with the
yeller hair an' w hite hock! Ain’t site
party V”
“Yes," repined his companion wearily.
“Some folks have good turn's aud others
don’t. I've lieeu watching the dog by
the fire, I suppose lie'll get a nice din
ner too,”
At tlmt moment ft servant pulled down
the shade.
“Wliat did she do that for?" com
plained Ted. “We didu't do uo Ilium
jest peepin’ at them."
As the lads turned regretfully away,
they wore accosted by a forlorn-looking
specimen of manhood, who, like them
selves, shivered with ths cold.
"Why are you on the street a night
like this, youngsters? Why don’t you
go home ?” lie asked.
" ’Cause we ain't got uo home,” re
plied Ted.
“ Poor lads! 1 thought I was the
only homeless wayfarer abroad this bit
ter night. Haven’t you any parents ?"
“ Never had any. Had a mommy
nice, but she’s dead. Jnek never lmd
nobody,”
“ Then you are not brothers ?”
"No,” replied Jack, speaking with
difficulty. “ When 1 was a baby niv
father gave me to Ted's mother and
promised to take care of me, but he went
off and we never heard from him. Guess
he’s dead too. Oh, Ted 1" he cried slid
deulv, grasping his companion's hand,
”1 (eel so bad I—can’t—stand—up
—any—longer.”
“Perishing with cold and hungert”
muttered the tramp compassionately,
“Hold on a minute aud I will sec if 1
cim beg a hot drink for von.”
Lifting the hoy in hia arms he knocked
at the door.
“ Will yon give me a cup of tea aud s
crust for this child, who is dying from
cold aud want of nourishment ?” he asked
of the servant who answered the sum
mons.
“ Who is it, Mary ?” called a voice
from the dining room.
“A man with a starving child asking
for food,” replied the girl.
‘‘Give them something, Mary, 'Twould
be dreadful to turn a hungry dog away
uch a cold night.” The speaker step
ped into the hall “Is it your child ? '
she asked, addressing the tramp.
“No, madam. 1 simply found him at
your door starving.”
He cast one glance toward the lady,
let his head fall forward and began to
tremble as if attacked with a sudden fit
of ague.
“You must be very cold; will you not
go into the kitchen while the girl pre
pares a hot drink for the poor little fel
low?” she asked.
Despite the man's tattered garments
and poverty-stricken air, there was a ring
in lus voice, an indescribable something
a Vain t him which caused the lady to ad
dress him in a certain tone of respect.
“In the name of humanity, I thank
you, madam. There are two children;
but the one in my arma acorns quite ill."
The mistresa of the house glanced
curiously at him; then, taming to the
child clinging to her dress, said:
“Run up stairs to papa, Daisy.”
The little girl olx-yi-d reluctantly, and
Iho mother went to the kitchen, where
she found the man seated by the fire,
still holding the sick boy in his anus, and
Ted huddled near the range with an ex
pression of intense satisfaction on hia
small, pinched fins-, while Bridget, the
rook, eyed the jmrty with extreme dis
pleasure. Mrs. Comstock tucked up lu-r
dainty robe, and with her white jeweled
hands helped to prepare a meal for them.
Toil ate ravenously of the goodies placed
before him. Jack swallowed a cup of
hot tcu, but refused the food. The tramp
slso politely declined the generous din
ner placed before him.
“Homething must lie done for this
child,” snid Mrs. Comstock, looking piti
fully at the white face contracted with
pain. “ Have they no friends?"
“No; they arc homeless and friend
less, like my —"
He paused abruptly.
She questioned Tixl, who repeated the
short, sail history.
“Wliat js your name, dear? Have
you no relatives ?” she inquired.
"Ted Davis; an’ his name is Juek
Holbrook.”
“Oh, God! is it possible that this is
my ehikl!” exclaimed the tramp, in s
voice of deep emotion.
Mrs. Comstock looked eagerly at the
man wlio’se still handsome lace, albeit
scarred with traces of sin and degrada
tion, assumed an expression of woe
pitiful to behold.
“Toll me," lie murmured, hoarsely,
“ was your mother's name Mary Davie?”
When Ted nodded an assent to the
question, hu bent over the child, on his
knees, saying: “Oh, Jack, my poor lit
tle boy, I thought you were in Heaven
long ago!”
Mrs. Oomdiick, who hud grown pale
to the very lips, turned away, murmur
ing in an agitated voice:
“I will consult my husband ns to —”
“You need not, Bessie!" interrupted
the tramp, starting to his feet.
“How dare you address mo by that
name!" she cried, in a tone of indigna
tion.
His nbjeet air of misery touched lief,
“If this eliild is yours, I too have n
claim upou him. But run may ho mis
taken," slic observed min e gently,
“I can soon determine that point,”
lie went on. “ When 1 look him from
yon I marked the initials I J. ll,’ on his
lxiby arm."
While lie was endeavoring to roll up
the child’s sleeve, Mm. Comstock eyed
him distrustfully. This may lie a trick
to extort money from mo, she thought.
Suddenly the tramp leaned forward,
kissed the small, thin arm, and burst
into sort of wailing cry.
“Oh, Jack! my poor little chap, I
did not intend to cause yon so much suf
fering !”
“ Hush I” said Mrs. Comstock gentlv ;
"the servants in the dining-room mny
hear you.”
Then the maternal instinct, in her
breast told her that this man who, in her
girlhood days hud so grossly deceived
her, was not playing her false now. She
bent over and laid her white face against
the suffering one of the ohild.
The tramp raised his soiled hand, and
was about to lay it on her head, hut
withdrew it again, saving:
“Believe me, I regret this more, infin
itely more, than all the wrong-doings of
my life. After the divorce was granted
you, and T abducted tbcVliild, partly be
cause 1 loved him and partly through
revenge, I gave him to the woman
Davis, and shortly after was obliged to
absent myself from the city for two
years. When I returned she had disap
peared. T made inquiries among her
former neighbors, and was told that the
child was dead."
“It was Jack Davis—Ted's brother
who died,” whispered the sick boy. who
faintly comprehended that ho had found
his fattier at last.
“I knew of your second marriage;
envied the peace you hud found and de
termined to keep the child’s death a
secret, hoping thereby to cause your
heart a pang of anguish when remem
bering his uncertain fate. My wicked
intentions have rebounded upon myself.
God knows I would give you all the
miserable yearn I may yet live could I
undo the cruel deed. 1 will take him to
an hospital, and when he recovers, I
will, for his sake, try to redeem myself."
“Xo," said Mrs. Comstock, “you shall
not take him from me again. Stay a
moment; l will tell mv husband all and
set' what he will suggest. "
“Oh, Bessie ! spare me the shame of
meeting the man who occupies the place
in your heart 1 once tilled," he. pleaded
sadly.
Love for Jack Holbrook had died out
years before; yet she pitied the trem
bling outcast who had strayed to her
door—pitied without Lung aide to con
nect him with the handsome, dashing,
young fellow who had won ami trampled
upon her girlish affections.
“My husband is the soul of generosity
and will gladly help you to begin life
anew. Hark !" she went on. assuming a
listening attitude, "I hear lus footstep
now; he is coming to see what has de
tained me so long. ’’
Mr. Comstock entered the kitchen and
was greatly amazed when in a few hur
ried words his wife explained the state
of affairs,
“Do whatever you please my darling,"
he said, “I will consent to anything that
will make you happy."
•lack Holbrook looked at the woman
who had once been his wife with a bitter
pang of regret; then at his own tattered
garments and a flush of shame rose to
bis cheeks. At Bessie's request he ear
ned the sick boy upstairs. An hour later
the family physician arrived and declared
the child to be dangerously ill with
pneumonia. Through the long hours of
the night the dissevered pair watched at
the bedside of then dying child. Who
shall say what Jack Holbrook's redac
tions were us he reviewed his past lifo of
folly anil sin that had led him step by
step into the lowest depths of degrada
tion.
In the midst of his most acute suffer
ings, poor little Jock vaguely wondered
why the pretty lady kissed him SO often;
and why, when she left the room for a
moment, the man who hail befriended
him kissed the same sjx.t her lips hail
touched. The doctor returned at an
early hour and said the child could not
possibly recover. Everything that ten
derness could devise was done to assuage
his pain, and at nightfall the. frail body
was at rest. An hour or two before he
diisl Bessie raised him in her arms say
inf?:
“Look at me Jack. I am your own
dear mamma who lost you long ago. I
prayed every day tiiat you might be re
stored to me. You are going to God my
darling, but we will meet again in
heaven. ‘Do you think you will know
me, Jack ?’ ”
“Oh my hoy!" said his father, “for
give me before you go. f have been the
cause of all your suffering. Ask your
mother to forgive me too.”
“I forgive aud mamma forgives,” mur
mured the child.
Bessie reached outlier hand us a token
of pardon. For a moment Jnek Holbrook
In-Id it in his own, but neither spoke u
word. Presently Bessie said tearfully:
“Perhaps this dear child waa restored
in me. in order to teach me. the divine
lesson of forgiveness; and it may be for
the purpose of leading you back to u bet
ter life. God grant tliatliis mission may
not have ts'en in vain.”
After the funeral Mr. Comstock had a
long conversation with Jack Holbrook,
who appeared like a different individual
when attired in a decent suit of clothes.
“Asa guarantee of my belief in your
sincere repentance, i am ready to supply
von with means to leave the. city and go
to some place where your history is un
known, that you may Ix-gin life over
.again,” observed Mr. Comstock, hand
ing him a roll of hills.
The poor outcast was overwhelmed
at thia unexpected kindness, and prom
ised faithfully to follow the ailvioe.
“May God bless you and your wife, "
he said faltt ringly. “Yon are worthier
of her than I over could have been.
Toll her I will remember Jack’s niis
sion.”
Ted was sent to a home for friendless
boys, but is now clerk in Mr. Com
stock's office and desperately in love
with the “yeller haired gurl.” Occn
siotuiliy Mr. Comstock hears from and
writes to Jack Holbrook, who is a pros
perous merchant in a Western town.
Bessie and Jack are the guardian angels
of liis existence, and he hopes to meet
them again in Unit place where there is
“no marrying or giving in marriage."

Tho deep snow nnd hard ioo
are making trouble on the Ver
mont railroads. There is an occasional
amusing incident connected with the
blockade. The oilier night a freight
train broke apart on a curve. The first
section had run quite a distance la-fore
the accident was discovered. Then it
backed up, coupled on the missing sec
tion, and went on to its destination. But
on looking over his way bills the conduc
tor found that one ear was missing from
the center of the train, and its diaap
|N>nninee was a mystery. Going back,
lie found it down a bank. A still more
singular accident occurred to a passenger
train. It had halted as usual at a little
station during the night, but no engine
wasto be found in the morning. The
tender was there all right, and as it
proved had piloted the train for iVlong
distance on a down grade, the engine
having jumped tho track without de
railing the rest of the train ov checking
its speed. Neither the engineer nor
fireman was injured.

“I believe it is the Track of n Rhinoc

“And I say Elephant!”
“Then J travel no longer with such an

“And he, tlm Narrow-minded Mul

Pioneer Courtships.
Courting, or sparking, in the early
days oil the Western Reserve, in Ohio,
was not a flirtation, but an affair of the
heart, and was conducted in the natural
way. The boyN and girls who were pre
disposed to matrimony used to sit up to
gether on Sunday nights, dressed in
their Sunday clothes.
They occupied usually a corner in the
family room in the cabin, while the bed
of the old folks occupied the opposite
corner, with blankets suspended around
it for curtains. During the earlier part
•-I the evening yho old and young folks
engaged in a common eliit-cluit.
About eight o’clock the younger eliil
dren climbed the ladder in the comer
and went to bed in their bunks under
the garret-roof; nnd in about an limit
later father and mother retired tolled
behind the bed-blanket curtains, leaving
the “sparkers” sitting at a respectful
di-taneo apart, before a capacious wood
fire-place, and looking thoughtfully into
(he cheerful flame, or perhaps into the
fllilU'O.
The sparkers. however, soon broke the
silence by stirring up tho lire with a
wooden shovel or poker, first one and
then tho other; and, every time they re
siuued their seats, somehow the chairs
manifested unusual attractions for closer
contiguity.
If chilly, the sparkers would ait closer
to keep warm; if dark, to keep the bears
off. Tln n cauie some whispering, with
a “hearty smack,” w hich broke the cabin
vlillness and disturbed the gentle breath

The Original Tramp.
There is good reason to believe, says
a Western Massachusetts paper, that the
original tramp came from tlie town of
New Marlboro,• His name was Jake
Clark. Ho was a young man at tho time
ol his exploits, and began to distinguish
liimself about the year 1830. Ho was a
bachelor, and lived part of the time with
lus widowed mother. With many things
wanting that go to make up a well-con
stituted man, Jake, nevertheless, had
elements of shrewdness that might have
made him a great man if he had pos
sessed industry, dignity and self-respect,
aud had not been a slave to the habit of
drinking New England ram apple-jack
and old eider. He planted himself
squarely on this ethical platform: It is
just as well to tell a lie as to tell the truth,
if the lie has the semblance of truth.
And he was frequently heard to say that
a man was “a blank fool for tc'iliug a lie
unless it bad about it a great degree of
apparent truth." Jake wouldn't work.
He was com titntionally disposed to be a
man of leisure—not elegant, but lmppy,
and his great scheme was to travel from
town to town and get his living by his
wits.
