So hero our pnths of life at Uxt
Divide direrge liko dclta'd Nile,

Of many and many a thousand mile,
As constant as a column stone,
Seeks out tho sea divorced -alone.
What recks it now whoso was the shame?
But call It mine, for better used
Am I to wrong aud cold di.idatn
Can bettor bear to bo accused
Of all that bears tho shape of shame
Than have you bear one tonch of blamo.
I know yoars Is too lighter heart
And yours tho hope of grander meed
Yet did I falter in my part?
But there i weakness in tlefeat,
And I had felt it's iron strido
Whilo your young feet wcty? yet nntricd.
My faeo Is set for power and place
My soul is toned to snllcn-e
My heart holds net one ij:n or traco ,
Of love, or tru.t, or tenderness;
But youyour ycariof happincsi--Qod
knows I would not mako them less.
But should you somctimo re.vl a sign
A namo among tho princely few
While yoa are with your friends and mine,
Then careless say to one or two,
"llo oneo was mine his smiles his tear",
Wcro mine were mine for years and years."
And yet 'twere but a bootless strife;
I ran too swiftly up the bill
Of my nnchecrfol path nf lifo.
And wearied soon ; God guiding still,.
He mado lifu's hill top low. so low
I crossed iU summit Ung ago.
Thus sooner than yon would suppo?o
Some weary feet will Cnd rrporc.
And you will come snma summer eve.
When wbecls the white moon on ber track.
An 1 heir the laintivo night bird gricvo
And heed the crickets c'ad in black.
Alone not far a liitlo spell
And say, "well, yes, he loved me well." '
And say, 'wctl, yes, I mind me no,
None were o gently kind as he,
And yet this love wa tame somehow.
It ws s truly true tn me,
I wished hi patient love bad lcs
Of worship and of tenderness.'
"I wih it st:i", for this alor.e.

IV A LTEU XV GLllVfi' NVCCESN.
The doctor said that kIio could not
live. But bo said it very sorrowfully,
for ho had known Nelly Starkweather
from tho timo sho was a littlo weo babo
upon her mother' kneo until sho grow
to bo tho prido of Mayvillo. And now
sho must die.
Doctor Nalo had hoped when thero
was no hopo, and withheld tho terriblo
trutJi from cverj' ono but his good wife;
but tho timo had come when it would
bo a fcin to delay it longer. That night
as ho was leaving to go to tho "Elms,"
ho said to his wife:
"Betsey, I shall tell tho old squiro
tho truth to-night. It is timo that ho
know it, and God grant that his heart
may bo softened."
Squiro Starkweather waa in his study
when Doctor Naglo arrived, and tho
servant showed him up.
Squiro Starkweather read in tho
old doctor's faco something of tho terri
ble tidings ho had brought. Ho cross
ed tho lloor to meet him, and, looking
him steadilv in tho evo, said :
"What of my daughter?"
"I can do nothing moro, Squire
Starkweather,"
Tho father sank into a chair, asking
pitifullv:
"Must sho die, Doctor Nnglo ?"
"Thero is only ono chance," said tho
doctor.
"And that?"
"Tho broken heart must bo mend
ed." Immediately tho squiro's faco resum
ed its cold, determined look.
"In other words, Doctor Naglo, my
daughter must bo allowed to many
that beggar, Walter Welby V"
"Or die"
"Sho were better dead than tho wife
of a Welby," said tho squire, with a
sneer. "And if this is tho medicine
you intend to administer, I can dis
penso with .vour services "
"Stop!" cried Doctor Nagle. "Don"t
you insult me. I have scon enough to
set my blood boiling, and another
word from you, ami I will will
knock you down, right hero in your
own house."
"But
"Stop your noise!" shouted tho doc
tor, stepping toward him, and shaking
his fat lists quite menacingly. "I don't
fear you, with all your money, and I
could thrash you with a rcdinh. And,
mark mc, if Nelly dies, I will proclaim
you her wurthrrrl"
Whether the squire was too much
frightened to speak, or surprise, it is
difficult to ray; but tho fact that ha
did not say anytliing was very patent
to Doctor Nagle. Ifo waited awhile
for some answer, but nono came, and
he turned and left the room, muttering
diro threats against hi wealthy pat
ron. Whatever faults Squire Starkweath
er possessed, iudifferenco toward his
child was notouoof them. Next to his
love of fame and gold ranked his love
for hisbcautiful daughter; and the old
doctor's words had at first nearly
crazed him. When, however, the doc
tor spoke of Walter Welby, ho felt
sure that lie was only tmng to 1 right
en him into a consent to tho marriage.
He, therefore, felt much relieved; ho
went to the sick-chamber.
The zrurso met him at tho door.
"How is she, Mrs. Batson?"
"Sinking rapidly," said tho nurse,
in nn ominous wmsner. "L sunnoso
ho doctor told vou that ho could do
no more i
The squire, now thoroughly alarm
ed, made no reply, but walked softly
o the bedside. hen he looked upon
he sufferer, he saw that he had been told
tho truth. Kven hia iron will could not
keep back the groans of agony per
haps of remorse as well.
" CI ood heavens! ho moaned. "Ihis
must not be! My only child! my dar
ling Nelly! iou must not die! you
shall notl"
"Perhaps, if you would consent- "
"Hush, hush! I know what you
would say; but it will bo as well for
vou to leave it unsaid. .
"Not even for that! hissed tha fa
ther. "I would sec her buried a hun
dred times rather than see her tho wife
of a Welby!"
"lou would not murder your own
child!"
"Who dares to accuse nio ?"
"I shall dare, if Nelly dies."
Liko tho lion at bay, tho old squiro
turneds upon tho faithful nure; but
sho was busy cooling tho fevered brow
of her charge. Tho sight cooled his
anger, and, without another word, he
hastily left the 00m, and ordered his
horse.
Within fifteen minutes ho was stand
ing in Doctor Nagle's study, waiting
for tho old physician to make his ap
pearance. It seemed to him an age,
but at last the doctor came.
"For God's sake, doctor, save my
child 1" ho entreated so humbly that
tho doctor pitied him ; yet he gavo him
no encouragement.
"I can do nothing."
"You must!" fairly screamed the
father. "You shall save her!"
"She is beyond my skill," calmly
replied the doctor; "and I adviso you
to try another physician,
. "Oh, where can I get one, doctor ?
Nono of them would come from the
city.
"There is ono visiting mo' now an
old friend and ono well skilled in
every disease of this nature. Shall
call him?" r
. "Don't 1o.to a moment! Oh, I foar i
is too late!"
Doctor Naglo was gone from tho
room but a moment, returning with a
white-haired, ruddy-faced, corpulen
old gentleman, whom ho introduced as
Doctor Price.
"Can you savo my child?" asked
tho agonized father, tho ; moment he
saw Doctor Price.
"My dear sir, youhave asked aquea
OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1870.
lion that it is impossiblo to answer at
tho present timo; but, from what my
friend has told mo, I havotstroug hopes
that I can."
"God bless you foV those wordsl"
said tho father, moro hopefully. "If
you do, I will givo you any pneo you
ask. Anything, everything is yours,
if you only bring my child to life and
health."
"I thank you for vour generous of
fer," Raid Doctor Price; "but my de
mands, if I succeed, will not bo exorl
itant. Perhaps I ought to say that,
after what you havo just said, I shall
expect prompt compliance with what
ever demands I may mako."
"On my honor oh a gentleman,"
said the squiro.
"I do not doubt it. ' And now, if you
aro ready, Iwill visit tho patient. Doc
tor Naglo will go with us."
Doctor Price went to tho Kick-room
alone, leaving Doctor Naglo and tho
squire in tho library, lo Sqmro Stark
weather tho titno passed very slowly,
and moro especially because tho old
doctor positively refused to Have any
thing to t:ay to him. llo sat by tho
window as unconcernedly as though
thero was not a Starkweather ly i n g near
unto death, whilo tho terrified parent
paced tho floor with rapid strides,
ever and anon opening tho door, and
looking out into tho hall to see if Doc
tor Price was not coming. At ljat ho
came, and tho squiro waited, motion
less, for him to speak.
"I can save your daughter' said
Doctor Price, confidently.
Squire Starkweather sank into a seat,
overcome with joy; and in after years
hefipoko of that time as tho happiest
moment of his life.
Doctor Prico visited hi 1 patient dai
ly, and at tho end of a week even
Squiro Starkweather! inexperienced
eye saw that Nelly was much improved,
even out of danger. When a montji
had parsed, Doctor Price took his t;-
ttent to rido with htm, ami from that
timo she improved so fast, that in two
weeks more tho doctor pronounced her
as well as ever.
Then ho called for a settlement. It
was ono evening, and tho Mptiro ana
Nelly, Doctor Price and Doctor Nagle,
were all m tho library.
"I surrender mv charge to-night,"
said Doctor Price, leading Nelly to a
seat near her father. "Have I been a

"I never can repay vou, said the
harmv father, with much fecdimr. "No

"Do not sav that' said the doctor.
"for I will tcil you that vour pleasure

my sorrow wouhL not havo been sec
ond even to yours. But, thank God,
I did not fail, and now I demand, with
all deference, tho reward, for such I
deem it to be."
"Namo it." said tho squire, "and I
will double it."
"Thank you squire, but I prefer it
single. All that I ask is your consent
to the marriage of Waller Welby and
Nelly Starkweather.''
"Never! never!" shouted the squire,
starting to his feet. "It is all a plot,
a devilish plot, from beginning to cnd.
I never will! Never! never!"
Doctor Prico waited until tho first
blast of fury was somewhat spent, and
then faid calmly, yet none tho less de
terminedly: "Then, Squiro Starkweather, I must
take forcible possession of tho reward

" hat do j-ou mean? cried tho be
wildered squiro.
"Just what I say, said Doctor Price.
'Walter Welby and Nelly Starkweath

bonds of matrimony." . '
"What!" exclained tho squire, al
most besido himself with rago and as
tonishment. "You lavo tho impu

"Will 3'ou remain and witness the

or Nagle.
Tho squiro was so completely" as
ounded at tho Eight before him, that
ho did not even know that Doctor Na
glo spoke. He saw Doctor Prico and
Nelly, hands joined, standing beforo
tho old parson; whilo through tho
open door camo guests to tho wedding,
until tho room was mil. no saw
groomsman and bridesmaid, but
among them all he did not seo tho faco

"Hold!" ho shouted. "I forbid this."
