Her Old Man.
BY OI.LA PERKINS TOVB.
It stood i>vek from the road—a
plain old fashioned baown farm
house— with a face scarred and
worn into a pitiful look of weak
old age by the storms of many
years.
Gay and blithe it had looked
once, long ago, when it felt its
life brgun, in sheltering the young
wife and husband. Tne roses had
twmed over its face then and
wound themselves in and out, cling
ing to the very eaves of tbe little
brown house.
Always the apple Dlooms had
drifted giving promise of the full
fruitage.
O, the sweetness of youth 1 when
the fragrance of the orchard blos
soms and tbe singing of birds
make life and love a glad poem,
aud death a fur ofl, dreamy possi
billity, wuen the brightness o tbe
dew is in tlii eyes, "as well as in
the violets.
Roses hang on tbe little house
now, but rather to hide its faded
face. Sweet old fashioned roses
they were, that just grew without
being coaxeil, and sent their sweet
ness lin delicious whiffs tb||mgh
the low ceilinged roetiist £ %
The murskgarigold, the holly
hocks ami the stately figer-lily
bent their heads dejectedly.' ard
the pinks sighed as a passing
breeze, in pity, lifted them to
catch a glimpse of the rtiom wiih
in.
A sweet-faced old woman lay on
the white covered bed, with a look
of pain amt weariness about the
mouth, aud with the light of ex
pectancy brightening tbe faded
eyes.
By her side sat the old man—
her “old man” ciuepiug m his hufd
ened palm the poor, trembling old
fingers.
“He will be sure to come to
night, John, ’ she says in the soft
est, weakest voice that comes like
the whisper of a zephyr through
the wires of a harp.
“Hs’ll come tonight to fetch
me home an' never let me feel
tieied and sick no more. He’s
promised, you know, and Hi s
promises never tail*”
“Come unto me ail ye that are
weary and I will giye you reaL"
Such bit ssod words- thqyjb% to
poor tiled mortal! r Air rif Wtf
the children—them that went on
so long ago.’’ (The roses nodded
to eacli other their remembeiance
of little faces and of the empty
cradle nest, and the wind mnrmer
ed how he had heard the quaint
lullaby sung in eventide.) “They
will ail be there ; the little boy
that crept away one winter nighs
when his teet could just toddle
about, his arms c uld just reach
about my neck. An’ the deur
little baby’ll be waitiu’ too
“She’ll be in Janie’s arms, I
think, John ; Jarie alius took such
care of her, you mind.' It’ll bb so
comfortin’ to see ’em Again.”
"O, old woman, old woman, i’ll
be very good for yc ur eyes to see :
but who’ll comfort me ?” wailed
tbe old man,
“Who'll take care of your old
man when you are gone
“The Lord giveth and the .jord
taketh away. Blessed be the name
of tbe Lord.’ Let that comfort
you, John. You remember when
the prercher alius read and then
talked ab nt the .Lord jueMendtn
the litrle ones to us üb’ then takin’
’em back.”
“It was all very beautiful, but I
just used to wonder if he’d ever
done any borrowin’ of the Lord
t n that way, an’ if it hart him to
pay back like it did us?’’
“You see old man,’’ stroking
tenderly the seamed cheeks, “The
Lord has lent us to each other for
m .ny, many years, and now He’s
a callin’ ms home, an’ the sum •
men’ll soon come for you, cause
He'll soon see that I’m luntsome,
without you.
“In uty Father’s house are many
mansions.’’ the quavering tones
ou, “many mansions, many man
sions. But 1 don’t know, seems
to me, it would be a sort a ournß
eral ’Pears to me. Jonn, I’d be
kiud o' lonely an’ oncomfortabla
in a mansion after this lettle brown
house, booms like nothin’ could

j Tenderly he bent and kissed tire
face now drawn with pain and now
lighted by tbe rays of the coming
! glory.
j Through long hard years he lmd
walked by her side. Together
1 they had watched the rising’ of the
sun of happiness, and together they
were waiting for the sunset-
Only before the rays of the earth
ly sunset greeted her eyes she
would behold the glorious dawn
of a celejtial life; and the poor,
lonely old man, would be listning
in vain for another word—would
be presiing bis face to silent lips.
Outside the birds were chirping
and singing in the old apple tree
0, the smell of the summer beau
ties that day and the sight of the
summer in fairness! All the air
was full of the stillnrss of the
diovisy afternoon—the silence only
broken by the call of birds, the
buzz rs bees or the distant wnistle
of the farm boy.
The sun peeped through the
open door and lingered about tbe
bed.
“In tin morning cometli light,’
the voice faintly spoke. “Cometh
light, old man. Jus’mink o’ihat.
Liter alt the darkttess’n tne tired
nesi’n the weary aching to alius
have the light’n rest.
“I’ll come, I think just like the
sunsnine here, faint aud quiveiy
at first an’ gettir.’ brighter and
blighter then a bnrstm’ inio full
noon-tide with never the thought
of a sunset to dim the brightness.
“The Lord’ll send his angels to
show me the way, so never dc yon
fear, dear old man, that I’ll get
lost. If I did He’d be sure and
find me. He never loses nothin’
his will has made.”
“No, He wouldn't want to lose
so good a soul from Heaven as my
old woman,” reverently he answer
ed trying *.o be brave, but brush
ing away the tears that run down
the furrowed cheeks in little
streams.
“But I hope //o’ll not wait long
to fetch me.”
“i’ll be sort o’ lonesome u-Sit«
tin’ in the door-way a waitin’, the
shudders geUin’ darker’n darker
an’ me knowin’ you’r lyin’ out
there iu the cold,”
“111 be so kind o’ dreary to wake
up in the night with the moonlight
a'streamin’ into the room an’ to
say‘wife where are you?’ with
never a answer.”
“1/ seems Hard that one inns’
be look an the other left, after
livin’ together so long an’ a beam’
each other burdens; but I s'pose
it’s all for the best.”
“The Lord knows, but I wish
He’d say to uis angels, “There is
two old worn old worn out soul 6
down there on earth bust's had
trouble and sorrow enough you go
right down and bring them up
here together.” ”
“I’ll wait tor you old man,” she
answered; “I’ll be the first to give
welcome to our Father’s name.
Me an’ the children’ll wait.”
He —poor, lonely decrepit bit of
humanity—hesrd nothing but the
whispered words of the voice he
joved so well, saw nothing but
the wrinkled face, pailing under
the shadow of the coming sepitra*,
tion; felt nothing but the love of
his long life-time swelling up into
his heart and forcing the tear
drops from his eyes.
Far. far back his thoughts drift
ed to the sweet, glad time of the<r
life’s spiing with its morning of
roses, light and love.

The words grasp him from the
pash tbaow him into the Borrow

“They’ll all there, old man,” she
whispered again, the heavenly hap
pmesa reflected in her eyes, and
her /tandg outstretched to reach
those others could not see.
“Kiss me, d.sav; jas’ hold my
hand an' never you mind, never
you mind. He’ll send to fetch

The smell of the rose and the
hawthorn came born in on tbe
evening air. The birds in the ap.
pie tree sang drowsily.
The sun crept in with little quiv
ering thread-* of light as the rays
of pust happiness creep into tbe
present of gloom, lingered about

rested, witten in letters of gold

A THRILLING DISPATCH.
The editor of the Gum Springe
Herald recently sent the following
dispatch to one of the great dall
es of the east:
“Last night our famous little
city was the scene of a grand and
ever to be remembered occasion.
Oui worthy Mayor, John Btllit,
and Miss Maggie Lucas were unit
ed in the holy bonds of wedlock.
The courthouse was brilliantly il
luminated with candles furnished
by our liberal aud enterprising
towsmau, Jacob Bloomer.
“It was an occasion of merry,
making, and every one in our en
terprising city of nearly one hun
dred inhabitants seemed to under
stand that ancti was the case, The
ceremony was performed iu the
church. The splendid structure
is not finished yet, and we had to
hung blankets aud quills atone
end to keep the wind lrooi blow
ing out the candles. John was
dressed iu a new suit of black
clothes that had never been worn
beiore. i/e was a little fall at
first, having been skirmishing
artund with the boys, but he brae
ed up after aw Lute and had consid
erable style about him. Maggie
was dressed in a new suit, aud
was much admired for the uusplut
turing way in which she went
through her part of the ceremony.
“Iu the morning Join and bis
wife will take a spring wagon und
make a Hying visit to Blue Hill,
where the bride’s uncle—tAe-jnly
one she has—Bill Bnckle, rerides.
Bid thinks a great deal of his
neice, and will do everything he
can to make her stay pleasant.
Just after the ceremony was per
formed Ab Tucker and Harry
Stovall got into a fight over a dis
puled game of cards. For a time
there was considerable music, but
after awhile everything quieted
down. Ab was pretty badly hurt
The bride is only nineteen years
old, and is a general favorite iu
our city. She was born in west
Tennessee. Stovail was struck
with a white oak block and al->
most crippled. Fortunately Di.
Crablret was close at hand. The
bridegroom is one of tbe best fel
lows in the world, and there isn’t
a lazy bona in his body. Year be
fore last, hot as it was, he tended
a bottom field of corn and raised
an excellent crop. Both men were
arresoed by our efficient lown mar
shal, who has got the nerve to do
anything. Everybody says that ne
will be re-elected, for tnere ain’t a
man in tbe town that has done eo
much for the place as he has. The
ceremony was performed by Rev
| Baxter Gladwin, a man of nerve
and worth*”
Thu next morning the station
agent and telegraph operator at
Gum Springs informed tbe editor
that he would hav~ to pay for the
dispatch; as the great daily had re
fused to accept it. This was dis
as:rous, for the editor had to sell
his office. He is now at large.
