Not what wo do, not wbat we say, speaks tor us To flee souls b»re, or to the Throne of Light, The words and acts be fair, gods will abhor ns And men distrust, if our hearts are not right. Our secret aim, our hidden wish or longing, Our silent thoughts of men or worlds above— These are the tell-tale forces that come thronging To point to us as on*s to loathe or love. Our thoughts are od^rs, an \ we cannot seal them, So cloe with actions but they will creep out; And delicately fashione 1 souls will feel them, And know them sweet or vile, beyond a doubt. Good deeds fall dead if selfish causes guide thorn, Good words fall flat that tut from lips have birth; And eloquent and nobl 1 seems, beside them, The silence or inaction of true worth. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Withdrawn Correspondence. BV C. Jt. HAUGEU. Jlorlon Piazier belonged to the staff of one of those ambition? Western sheets —the G.uten Da ly Gazette. To be sure, lie was only the Dobbvillc corres¬ pondent of the paper, but he was as proud of even that slight connection with its pages as though he had a snug place in the editorial chair. Morton’s communications were always headed by the editor (who was also proof-reader, busineis manager, and local rustler) “Dobbville Dot?, from our special correspondent.” Morton had hard work to keep from crying with admiration over that al¬ literative liealmg, the first time it adorned his l.torary effort; but at last ho became used to it and it did not worry him or unduly elate his susceptible heart andbrain. His signature wa? “Wander¬ ing Mac,” and he was known by that title a'most as well ns by hi? own name, for he ha 1 acted a? the Gazette’s “special c orespondent” for many years. He went around to tho little rural parties and pleasure meetings with a wondrously wise and knowing look upon hi? face, a? thi ugh the destinies of the nation de¬ pended upon hi? beck and call. Tiro editor of the Giz tte ha i iin pressed it upon him that tho paper must have the new?. “Everything,” he had remarked, in stentorian tones, when one day Morton ha 1 trembli ig'.y entered the stuffy little sanctum at Gar ten. “Everything hinges upon getting (he news, and getting it quick.” This admonishment so impressed the young aspirant for j mrna istic fame, that a week after tlu visit he in;i!ed a touch ng obituary of a scri, u ly ill child, not expected to live au hour, to the paper, trusting that tho in¬ fant would die bef. re the paper was issued. The child however, recovered, and is alive today, a roistering lad who delights to show that tender tribute to his memory (and it is a touching one) ending: “The bereave 1 parents have the sympathy of their scores of friends in this, their great sorrow, but of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. ” The way the editor of tho Gazette unbent him¬ self to rail at Morton after that “break” made him more careful thereafter. Fourth of July in Dobbville, iu 1878, was an occasion that still live) iu the memory of those who wero fortunate enough to he citizen? of tho town at that eventful period. Nut only was the Nation’s birthday anniversary properly celebrated, hut a clrcu ? held forth upon the prairie north of the Montezuma Ho¬ tel. When two such great events coin¬ cide, it is enough to turn the heads of any people. It would have been hard to finl a happier man that day than “Wandering Mac.” lie had been graciously present¬ ed with two “comp?” for the circus by the manager, who had soon found out what M uton was, and when at seven o’clock ho stepped into the parlor of his betrothed, Miss Marion Ueueal, it was with a perfectly self-satisfied air. Marion added to the perfection of the state of his mind by allowing him to kiss her de icately-blushing cheek—yes, she did more; she kissed him in return, and what more could a young man ask? Tlsis particular youig mm might have asked for a repetition of the per¬ formance had it not been that Roy, the scapegrace brother, came tearing into the room just at that moment, wi.h all his Hi-year-old vehemence. “On, say, sis,” he cried excitedly. ‘•Where’s my collar and clean shirt?” “I don’t know. Up stairs I guess,” was the impatient reply and then the sisted added: “I don’t know what ails R y, today, lie has been getting everything of his together iu Ms room. It’s tlie Fourth, too.” She looked inquiringly at her lover, but he wa? a.'miring her face, and not thinking of romping brother?, so there was no answer there, T wice during the evening did she speak of Roy a queer actions; once while the clown w*a 3 perpetrating some of his hideous joke?, and once while she *;d .Morton were sitting ou the piazza with arms en¬ twined. The first iime she had apparently not been heard and the second she had been answered with a kiss, so she was no wiser than before. Morton Fiazier thought of it though, the uext day, for the events of the night were such as to bring the circumstance vividly to his mind. About 3 o'clock on the morning of the 5th, a fire broke out in the great Rockwell block. More than $50,000 went up in smoke. The whole town | was out to see the sight, and to beip lesslv mourn the event, The Rockwell block had been built in the “boom dars, two years lie fore, and though L was out of all proportion to the town, everybody was sorry to see it destroyed, “W mderimr Aloe” wa? among the 3 Vx« first the ground, . and j as soon oi on ha 1 had seen the fire will under way he roused the telegraph operator and up seat this message, which appeared as a “special 1 in the morning’s Gazette: Dobbville, July 5th.—A terrible fire look place her 3 morning. It star tel in Rockwell’s store an 1 bur rieul into Fry’s gro pery; then into the in uranee company’s office. The flame* leap-? I 40 or 50 feet iu height. Everything is excitement. The next morning revealed several thing? worthy of mention in this narra¬ tion. The smoking ruin? were sur¬ rounded by score? of men and boys, busy discussing the cause of the fire. And they te'd of the probability that it wa? au act of incendiarism; that it started iu an out-of-the-way place; that but one theory wa? hell regarding the firebugs; an 1 their conversation always came round lo the m/sterioul word— “Spearmen.” Then somebody would explain that the Shearmen wa? a b>dy o' rough boys and young men who gathered in un¬ canny places at nigh: to plan deeds of misch cf and meanness. Another would add that the Spearmen had a particular spite against Rockwell for having them arrested once for a trivial offence. A third had heard Roy Heueal boast that be would “g;t even.” A fourth had just found that Roy had not been home the night before, and win yet missing, though U s widowed mother and his sister were searching every¬ where. All these scrap? of information were united into a complete history, and the ucw 3 went over town that Roy Ren oat had set fire to the Rockwell block to “get even” with the proprietor for ar¬ resting the Spearmen, and had fled the country. Morton Fraz er was in uespatr. At ten o’el >ck lie war m ,-t on the street by the Western Union messenger boy, who hande 1 him a dispatch. He tried not to look self-conscious as he read it, but the effort wa? a failure. It said: Garten, July 5. Morton Frazier, Dobbvilla:—S m l full account of tire by mail at noon. Insurance, loss, cause and everything. Gazette. 1 say Frazier was in despair. He had, of course, heard the report? in circula¬ tion regarding his brother-to-be It >y, and yet how could he blast the boy’s good Earns by sending the rumor to the Gault!. II; must decide quickly, lor the on y mail train tint eou d get his letter to the paper in time for its next issue lef. at noon, and no.v it wai past eleven. While he sat in hit office, pondering ever the matter, there was a great bat He fought between his great love for news and his great love for Marion, Added to the first was the stentorian, “We want the news and all the news,’ of thee liter, and to the second, the fair feature? of hit sweetheart. Which should he ob 1 •, Cupid or Mammon? lie reflecte l that the Daily Hazard, the GazetlA riva', would “scoop” it? competitor, unless lie furnished the re quire! information, and res o' u'ely put his pea to paper, and ground out a heart-rending accrua. of the con flag r a. train carried tin correspondence to U ir ten. When tlie train had gone, lie sat in hia ofiics studying over tho matter. Had he done right; Perhaps the boy was really innocent, if si, lie had do.io tho worst tiling he could have to harm him; he had committed tho sin that lies at the door of every newspaper writer's sanctum, tlie shattering of a fellow being's pc-ace of mind and perhaps repu¬ tation, by a careless word or phrase or a bit of uriKubitantial rumor, glowingly writteu up. As he p red over the matter there was a tap at tho door, and upon opening it he was greeted by Marion, her face wreathed with smile?, and such evi¬ dently kissable lips that he had no hesitancy in—-well, it is not uceossary to go into details. “Oh, Mort," she gasped, after a moment, “where have you been today? 1 wanted to you much. ' see so Frazier remembered that he had not been to tho home of his betrothed, and knew that it was because be doubted her brother’s innocence. “You don’t know,” she rattled on, without giving him time to respond, “how worried mother and I have ueea. Roy was not to be found, and that hor¬ rid old maid, Mis? Semert, came over with the most awful twaddle about his being suspected of setting tho Rockwell block on fire, aud all that.” (Her lis¬ tener felt his cheeks grow pale, but Marion did not notice it.) “Of course we knew he was all right, and, sure enough, he came in at dinner time. He went home with Uncle Rudolph out in the country after the show last night aud only j ist got back. He took all his clothes, for he’s going to work for Uncle Rudolph to earn some money. 1 was down town, and thought I’d tell yon so that you cou.d say so to the men.” There wa? a wistful look in the irirl s eyes that told how thoughtful she was for'her brother s reputation, and how much she depended upon her lover to set things right. As she took her departure, Morton realized that he must do some quick work. First, he must kill that cor¬ respondence, which was by this time in the Gazette t forms ready to go to press. j Second, he niu-t have some good excuse to give the editor for doing so. From svhat he knew of the Gazette's publication hour, he judged that he had half au hour for investigation. Like a malntan he tors arounl the streets an animated interrogation point—asking | every man he met what had started been heard ot the incendiaries. All out with the old story about “They say the Spearmen-but they were shut off with, “That’s all a lie," and rushed on. It was no use- He must simply with i 1 draw the correspondence. When he j had but ten minutes more he stepped into the telegraph office aud sent these words : j | Dobbville, July 5. Gazette, Garten - Don t publish Dobbville corn si«r,deuce. Roy R ueal is innocent. M Frazieh. The editor of the Gazette was too j good a newspaper mao not to obey luch a summons even with the chance of get¬ ting “scooped.” The correspondence did not appear nor did the Hazard have a word regarding the’ matter. Two months after, a q tiet wedding took pi ic3 at Dobbvillc and “Wander¬ ing Mac” and Marion were chief par ticipants in the ceremony. In the same issue of the Gazette that contained the very flowery account ...... of thc-tr marriage (Morton wrote it) there appeared the confession of a tramp arrested in a nei •’ 'hborinc 1 ° c itr y ' He was dviu- y o> and • befora breathing his last owned up to having set on fire the Rockwell block, having accompanied the circus. Morton read the confession to his bride on the second day of the lionev moon, and told her the story of h withdrawn correspondence. “Oh, Morton,” said the lady, re proachfuliy, “if that had been published 1 would never have married you.” "I knew it, dear," returned he, plac idly, and I think the Gaz tle editor de serves a piece of wedding cake for kill¬ ing it, don t you?” She did; and the Gazette force ad¬ journed for fifteen minute? the next day to munch fruit ca te, macaroon? and an¬ gel food. — Van \es Diode. Remarkable Will Power. stories were tol 1 over after cuff Cl cigars the other day showing tho power of man’s will. One wa? of a young officer in the English army, who war peculiarly stubborn and irascible. He had been con ft red to hik bod after a severe attack of the heart and was un¬ able to move. lbs physician asked ono of his fellow- 1 ffi t'rs to warn him that he would never get out of be 1 again, that he might arraago his affair? before death. When the sick man was told what the doctor had said he arose in bis bed exci cily an! said: 1 I will never get up again, eh? I will walk to the doctor myself aul show him.” ] [g jumped to the floor, walked across the room and fell dead. The other wa? about a Sheriff out JJest, who when . arresting a man, wa? stubbed , , , , through . , ,, the heart. , . He ,, seized . , the man by the shoulder? after the blade had struck him, pressed him to ground, drew hi? rev Ivor, and deUbor a ely thrusting it down the siruggiing prisoner’s throat, pulled the trigger tho instant he him.el f died. The third story was regarding anoth cr officer who was hunting down a thief. The nun thought he lnd given his purtu -r the slip, but ju t ns lie en tered one door of a railroad car the olB cef appeared in the other. The thief instantly fund, the bullet penetrating his pursuer’s brain. The officer, how ever, returned the shit, bringing his man to tlu ground. He then dragged himself along the aisle of the car, firing as he crawled, until his revolver was empty.

The stones had that peculiar bluish-whits color so highly prized among lovers of diamonds, and tlie pawnbroker readily advanced him $251) on them. Tho stranger departed, and in du: courso of time the pawnbroker tried lo di-sp s; of them. He exhibited the diamonds to a well-known dealer, who said if they would stand a test they wore easily worth * 150 J. The stoue.? were rc moved from their settings and placed in a bottle of ale ihol.

Mr. Bates, in his “Naturalist on the Amazons,” lias much to say i;b >ut a certain species of foraging ant.?. They travel in armies of countless thousands, and, as it were, drive everything before them. Tho unlucky human pade-trian, according to our author, has notiiing to do but “to run for it.” They are of course very industrious, but Air. Bates says: Their life i? not all work, for I fre¬ quently saw them very leisurely em¬ ployed in a way that looked like recre¬ ation. When t’nis happened, tlie place was always a sunny nook in the forest. Tlie main coiumu of the army and the branch columns, at these times, were in their ordinary relative positions; but, instead of pressing forward eagerly, and plundering riglit and left, they seemed to have been all smitten with a sudden fit of laziness.

He may not leant all in one lesson, but continue the lessons, and you will cure your horse of all nervousness.” llees ns Ventilators. A close observer of the habits of the habits of tlie bee fays: “1 cannot say whether it it is generally known that in India, and I ^believe in other tropical countries, there are in every hive what one can only describe as ventilating bees. I mean that during the hot season two or thr.e bees post themselves, on their heads, at the entrance of the hive and fan the interior with the iucissant mo¬ tion of their wings, They are relieved at intervals by fresh bees, who carry on the process. They are kept to their duty by a sort of patrol of bees to insure their ceaseless activity.
