And the brook ran merrily by.
We loved each other, my love and I|
An I the quail piped low mid the yellow corn,
We heard in the distal.oo tlio hnntsnun'B horn,
And the lesvee were brown and dry.
We looked to the future, my love end I,
The future eo crowded with hopes and fears,
That Wirup our omilos so often to toare,
A* the days peas wearily by.
Ho sprite of Ute time when we two should
dwell :
Together Is-nrath fair Southern skies,
Wiicro tho lose in lie fragrance never dies,
And lovo hears ho parting knell.
The corn was garnered long yre' s ago,
Tho bobolink's song Is heard no more)
Only a shadow feds through the door
* Where he nsed to come end go.
The' sea Is wide, and it lies between
My love and I, my love and I; ^
Where the flowers liMJemod deofi leaves now Ue,
And tho grans o'or Ida grave ia green.

A SPECIAL CONSTABLE.
BT OnABL.SH READS.
Tiro women, ataU.nl, kept the toll bar
at a village in Yorkshire. It stood apart
from the village and they often felt un>
easy nt being lone women,
One day they received a considerable
snm of money, bequeathed them by a
relation, and that set the simple souls
all in a flutter.
fhfey had a friend in the village, the
blacksmith's wife; so they weut and
told their fears. She admitted that
theirs was a lonesome place, and she
would not live there, for one, without a
man. Her disoonrse sent them home
downright miserable.
The blacksmith's wife told her hus
band all about it when ho came in for
bis dinner.
“The fools I" said he; “how is anybody
to know they have got bran in the
“Well," said the wife, “they make no
secret of it to me; but you need not go
for to tell it to all the town—poor
souls I”
“Not I,” said the man: “but they
will publish it, never fear; leave women
folk alone for making their own trouble
with their tongues. ”
There the snbjeot dropped, as man
nnd wife have things to talk about be
side their neighbors.
The old woniou at the toll-bar, what
with their own fears and their Job’s
Oomforter, began to shiver with appre
hension as night came on. However,
at sunset the carrier passed through the
gate, nnd at sight of his friendly fuce
they brightened up. They told him
their care, and begged him to sleep in
the house that night.
"Why, how can I?” said he; “I’m
due ut ; but I will leave you mv
•log.”
The dog was a powerful mastiff.
Tho women looked at each other ex-
Dressively.
“He won’t hurt us, will ho?’’sighed
one of them, faintly.
“Not he,” said the carrier, cheerfully.
Then he called the dog into the house
and told them to lock tho door, and
weut away whistling.
Tho women wero left contemplating
the dog with that tender interest appre
hension Is sure to excite. At firet he
seemed staggered at this off-hand pro
ceediug of his master; it confused him;
then he snuffed at the door; then, as
tho wheels retreated, he began to see
plainly he wtuj an abandoned dog; he
delivered a fearful howl and flew at the
door, scratching and barking furiously.
Tho old women fled the apartment,
and were next seen at an upper window,
scieuming at tho carrier:
"Come back ! come back, John I He
iv. tearing tho house down !”
“Drat the varmint I” said John, and
caroo back.
On the road lie thought what was
bos', to he done. Tho good uatured fel
low took his groat-coat out of the cart
and laid it down on the floor. Tho
mastifl instantly laid himrelf on it.
“Now,” said John, sternly, “lot us
have no mure nonsense. You take
charge of that till I come back, and
don’t ye let nobody steal that there, nor
t’ wives’ brass. There, now,” said he,
kindly, to the women. “I shall bo back
this way breakfast time, and he won’t
budge till then.”
“And he won’t hurt us, John ?”
“Lord, no! Bless your heart, he is
as sensible os any Christian—only, Lord
sake, woman, don’t ye go to take the
coat from him, or you'll be wanting a
new gown yourself, and maybe a petti
coat and all.”
He retired, and tlie old women kept at
a respectful distance from their pro
tector. He never molested them; and,
indeed, when they spoke cajolingly to
him he even wagged ids tall in a dubious
way. But still, as they moved about,
he sqntnted at them out of his bloodshot
eye in a way that cheeked all desire
on tlieir part to try on the carrier's coat.
Thru protected, they went to bod
earlier than usual, but they did not un
dress; they wero too much afraid of
everything, especially tlieir protector.
Tho night wore on, and presently their
■barpeued senses let them know that the
<iog was getting restless, he snuffed, and
than he growled, and then he got up,
uid pattered about, muttering to him
self. Straightway, with furniture, they
barricaded the door through Which their
protector must pass to devour them.
But byc-and-bye, listening acutely,
they heard a scraping nnd a grating out
side the window of the room where tho
dog was, and he contiuued growling low.
This was enough; they slipped out at
the back door, to save their lives; they
got into the village. It was pitch dark,
and all tho bonses black but two, one
was the publio house, ousting a tri
angular gleam across tho rood a long
way off, and the other was the black
smith’s house. Hero was a pieco ol for-
tuua for the torriflod women. They
burst into their friend’s house. “Oh,
Jane I the thieves are come I” and they
V>ld her in a few words all that had hap
pened.
“Lai” said she; “how timorous you
are I ten to one he was only growling at
same one that passed by.”
“Nay, Jane, we heard the scraping
outside tho window. Oh, woman, call
vour man and let him go with ua,”
“My man—he ia not here.”
“Where is he, then?”
“I suppose he is where othor working-
women’s husbands are, at tho publio
houso,” said she, rather bitterly, lor sho
had her own experience.
The old women wanted to go to the
publio house for him; but the black
smith’s wife was a courageous Woman,
and beside, she thought it was most
likely a false alarm.
*.“Kay, nay,” said tbo, “fcust-Viuo Hi
went for him there I got a fin® affront.
I’ll como with you,” she said. “I’ll take
the poker, and we have got our tongues
to raise tho towu with, 1 suppose.”
8o they marched to the toll-bar.
When they got near it they saw some
thing that staggered this heroine.
There wa3 actually a man half in and
half out of tho window. This brought
the blacksmith’s wifo to a standstill, and
the timid pair implored her to go baok
to village.
“Nay,” said she. “What for? I soo
but one—nu<l hark I it is my belief tho
dog is holding of him. ’
However, sho thought it safest to be
on tbo sntno sido with the dog, lest the
mail might tufa on her. So she made
her way into tho kitchen, followed by
the other two, and thoro a sight mot
ber eyes that changed all their feelings,
both toward the robber and toward each
other. The great mastiff' had pinned a
man by tho throat, and was pulling at
him to draw him through the window,
with fierce but muffled snarls. The
man’s weight nlouo prevented it. The
window was like a picture frame, and in
that frame there glared, with lolling
tongue and staring eyes, tho white fuce
of tho blacksmith, tlieir courageous
friend's villainous husband. Sho uttered
an appalling scream, mid flew upon the
dog and choked him with her two hands.
He held nnd growled, and tore till lie
was all but tlnottled himself; then he
let go, and the man fell. But what
struck the ground outside like a lump of
lead was in truth a lump of clay ! The
man was quite dead and fearfully torn
about the throat.
So did a comedy end in au appalling
and most piteous tragedy; not that the
scoundrel himself deserved any pity,
but his poor, brave, honest, wife, to
whom he had not dared confide the vil
lainy he meditated.
He had his speech by heart, but tie
multitude frightened him. “Twenty
years ago the plaoe upon which you now
stand was a howling wilderness 1” be
liegaD. Not remembering the next sen
tence, ho repeated that one. There win
immense applanse. Still he forgot.
Attempt No. 3 was as follows: “Twenty
jearsagotho place on which you now
land was a howling wilderness—and—
and—hang me if I dou’l wish it was
now.’’

If the stories that are told abotlt the
filthy condition of Toulon and Marseilles
aiv true it is a wonder that they are not
ail oted with the Black Blague instead
of a mild form of cholera. Both of these

be-m sittiug by the side of a tideless sen
an.l stewing in (heir own nastiness for
years.

Seth Green states that tlio cause of
the deuth of the vast number ofnlewives,
the bodies of which ore found floating
i in Lake Ontario, is starvation. He says
they travel about in largo schools, tho

the rear got positively nothing at all,
vet they will follow the school day after
day until they die of notuui starvation.

In the German Empire seventeen
years ago there were 300 towns, with
populations of between 6,000 and 20,000,
which wero without railway accommo
dations. In the year 1880 the number
of snoh towns was only 132. Of towns
having populations of between 2,000
and 5,000 there are in the empire 1,975,
of whioh only 4G8 had any railway ac
commodations seventeen years ago. By
1880 the number of towns so provided
had risen to 932.

unanswered to her father, who was in
Spain. -Mr. Butro afterward saw tho
professor in Berlin, and liked him so
much that he advised bis daughter to
answer his correspondence, and the end
of it is that they will marry.

field an anniversary reunion at Danvers,
a few days ago, ut which about 200 of
her representatives were present. Ben-
jamiu F. Nourse, of Boston, presided,
and arrangements were made for the
erection of a monument to be dedicated
ayeur hence. An interesting feature of
tho occasion was a letter from the poet
Whittier expressing the opinion that,

Mr. Walcott is a gentleman who has
lieen in bad health for some time, so ho
consulted with a prominent Austin phy
