after mast* tears. x Romance of the Southwest. On the 20th of September, 1865, jjnes Baxter left Tennessee, with his "e, intending to emigrate to Louisians, e place along the border be fell in g man who gave his name as Isaao oung, an* 1 'who obtained permission to the Baxters, as he claimed to be deling the some direction they were -g. Young was about 80, very litusihle, and quickly ingratiated him- lf in the good graces o! Baxter and his He confided to his companions verrthing regarding his financial re- urces and future plans, and Baxter, in eturu, made a similar revelation. \jnoug other things he informed the ouug man that he had sold his farm for J2,0<)0, and that he carried the money, in S20 gold pieces, in a belt strapped around his waist. Some time ter this the emigrants camped one night at a point between Dyke’s Mill, la., sud Magnolia, Ark. The spot se lected for a camp was at the head of a lonely glen, which was shaded on either side by tall pines, and thickly carpeted tftk luxuriant grass. A spring of clear, cold water gushed from a ledge of rocks half-way down the glen and a number of fallen pine logs furnished ample material ior fuel. When a simple repost was pre pared and eaten, Baxter lit his pipe, and saying he would return soon strolled down the glen. Young and Mrs. Bax ter remained seated by the blazing fire talking about the incidents of the day’s travel. An hour passed. Baxter did not return. His wife grew uneasy, and Young, to quiet her fears, as he ex pressed it, started down the glen, say ing he would bring him back. The woman waited impatiently. One, two, three hours went by, yet neither appeared. Mrs. Baxter was now thoroughly freightened. She called loudly for her husband, but received no response. Only the echo of her own voioe come back to her, borne on the night wind, whioh swept down the valley and through the tops of the swaying trees. She ventured down tlieglen, trembling, calling, listening; Imt she neither heard nor saw anything. Both her husband and his companion had disappeared as completely as if the earth had suddenly opened and swal lowed them up. Almost distracted, she returned to the camp, where she paced to und fro until morning camo ; then, mounting one of the horses, she hast- to-J to the nearest house and soon had a laxly of men scouring the country in seqrch of the missing mon. The searoh was continued nearly a wook without 40 much a9 finding it trace of TWiing or Baxter, when it was aban- doned. The men engaged in it told Mrs. Boxter bluntly that tho affair was preconcerted between tho two men, and that her Unsband hod heartlessly do- si rted her. Tho wifo bo strangely bereft would not accept this theory. Sho in sisted that her husband had been mur dered by Isaac Yonng, and that time would show that sho was not mistaken. Acting on this supposition she returned to hor former homo, and, gathering all her available means, instituted n thor ough soarch. Sho advertisod, employed detectives, scattered handbills with ac curate descriptions of her husband and Young ; but all to no purpose. Years went by, anil still sho remained in her mountain home, hoping and praying for tidings of her missing husband—or even a clow that would point to his fate. The siis|K'Use in all these years has been trying. Since that momarable night she had become an old woman. By the sale of nearly all the effects which re mained to her after her husband’s dis- api>enriinee, she had been enabled to buy a little cabin and a few acres of ground and have enough money to keep her, with close economy, from actual want. And alone In that little hat she waited for tiding* of the man to whom slje had linked her fate. In H-plumber, 1881, startling nows reached that solitary woman in her mountain retreat. It came in tho shape of a letter, dated at Melbourne, Aus tralia. Tho writer said he had that day assisted to bury a man of the name of Saunders ; but whoso papers, which tho writer had been charged to examine^ 6howod he was Isaac YoUng, an Ameri can, and who confessed to a horrible crime. Then followed a detailed ac count of the night in the glen, sixteen years ago. It seems Yonng had mode tip his mind to rob and mnrder Baxter from the time ho learned that Baxter ho<l $2,000. He followed him quietly down tin- glen, stole upon him unawares, struck him a blow with a stick of wood which killod him in stantly. To secure the money, and Imry the laxly under some loose earth end stone, was the work of a very few moments, and before Mrs. Baxter had started down tho glen Young was miles ns nastraett no xmw Orleans, took passage to Australia, changed his name, and speculated with his ill-gotten gains. He prospered amazingly, and, unlike the traditional murderer, died undetected and wealthy. He directed that Mrs. Baxter be found, if living, and paid $2,000 with interest from the date of the murder, and he begged her to forgive him. That was all which the letter oontained. But subsequent inves tigation proved it to be true. Baxter’s bones were found at the foot of the glen and decently buried, and the Australian party turned out to be Isaac Yonng, the murderer. The story is os strange os it is true. Aft INGENIOUS KIND ON BIRD, One of tho most interesting and com mon birds in the Atliromhicks is a large woodpecker that bores holes in the bark of spruce and then plugs them up with acorns and nuts of any kind. One piece of wood taken from a tree, of about eight square inches, contains ten of these plugs, so closely and tightly wedged in that a knife hod to be used to force them out. The piece of bark looks os if wooden bullets bad been fired at it and just covered themselves. The general impression seems to be that the birds put them there and eat them in the winter or later, but squirrels, it would seem, would have the best of it We have seen the birds picking at nnta or acorns that had evidently been lodged in the wood some time, and were im pressed with the idea that they had been placed there to collect grubs and other live food that would walk into them, and then the woodpecker would visit the trap he had set and reap the reward of his labors. The amount of work a woodpecker does in making a hole three inches deep can be imagined when it is known that in some of the pieces of wood bored ten or fifteen pecks of their bills hardly make any impression. How many thousand it would take to finish tlie work men tioned, and the consequent wear and tear of patienoe, can be imagined. TRAGEDY AND COMEDY. The distinction is very simple. In a tragedy the plot turns on a mnrder; in a comedy it turns on a marriage. The question in a comedy' is whothor the marriage will take place or not, and in a tragedy whether the murder will be accomplished or not. There will bo t marriage, thero will lie o murder; this is the first act. There will be no mar riage or no murder: this is tho second act. A now incident happens, a new manner of killing or marrying; that is the third act An obstacle arises which prevents tho killiug-or marrying;’ thut is the fourth act This most finish, and so in the fifth act tho marriage or murder is ar ranged or accomplished, because every thing must have an end. CON VERSA T l ON A LISTS, Mottcmich once said : In my whole ife I have only known ten ortwolvo per sons with whom it is pleasant to speak —that is, who keep to the subject, do not repeat themselves and do not tulk of themselves; men wlio do not listen to their own voice, who are cultivated en ough not to lose themselves in common places ; and lastlj, who possess tact and good sense enough not to elevate their ,wn person above their subjects THE Ilh.tli-l.IVBR. The professors of journalism, wlic periodically toll u- ids-ut newspapers, have failed to notice a comparatively modern and a very important ienture ol tho newspaper, namely, the ..ead-lines. This is a departm- jil of the paper whioh has stealthily conquered for itself on in fluence which even newspaper managers sometimes inadequately recognize. It often happens that tho ingenious artist in this department is really editing the paper. He can convoy aD impression which the writers of ponderous leaden are endeavoring to avoid. Hu can create a doubt or awaken a suspicion by a single nTtfully-cbosen word, or sow broadcast an opinion which it may take columns of writing to show is unfounded. Suggestions that are buried in tlie bodice of articles may attract no notice; but the flaming headline takes the eye at once, and its diagnosis of the inuttci which it criticises may he very wide oil the mark without the average reader ap plying any corrective. Tin- In-iui-line largely regulates the emphasis that is given to the report of current events. Small matters in this way may Is- mag nified, aud mere conjectures invested with nearly the dignity of established facts.—Toronto Mail. Spring Styles KRESS (ill Oils. CLOTHING, ©HOES!
