THK ORHilN OF Hit
I to roie the beginning of years,
There came to the making of mau
Tlmo, with a gift of tears ;
(Jrlef, with a glass that ran;
Pleasure, with pain for leaven;
summer, with llowera that fell;
nemombrauee fallen from heaven,
And maduoea rlaoit from hell:
Strong! Is, without hands to smite;
Love that endure for a breath;
Night, the shadow of light;
And life, the shadow of death.
And the high gods took In hand
Fire, and the falling of tear,
And a moaauro of sibling sand
From under the feet of tbe years;
And froth and drift of the sea,
And dust of the laboring earth,
And bodies of things lo be
In tho homes of death and or birth;
Aud wrought with weeping and laughter,
And fashioned with loathing and love,
N it l life before aud after,
Aud death lieueatb and above,
For a day and a night and a morrow.
That his strength might endure for an
With travail and heavy sorrow.
The holy spirit of man.
From tho winds of tbe north and tho south
They gathered as unto t riiv ;
They breathed upom his mouth,
They tilled bis body with life:
F.yeaight aud sfech they wrought
For the veils of the soul tberelu,
A time for labor and thought,
A time to serve and to slu;
1 hoy gave him light In hie ways,
And love and a apace lor delight,
Aud beauty and length of days,
And night and sleep in the night.
His speech la a burning lire;
With his lipe he travaileth;
In hi heart hi a blind desire,
In h in eyes foreknow ledge;
lie weaves and Is clothed with derision;
Sows, and he shall not reap;
His life la a watch or a vision

Selected Story.
A BLM KSHITH'S LOVIV4..
a
J had teaolved, with many persons no
doubt who had shaken off its yellow
luHt. never to visit the dismal little
town of Bloomsbury again. It was so
called, pei Imps, because of its utter lack
in vegetation, and because of its heing
a Sahara of red clay roads and sandy
plains, over which sickly shrubs and
vinos strove and knotted together. I
had left it in July, with a dull, hot sun
cracking aud seaming tbe dry marsh
leading to the town, and felt as if spar
ed the commission of a crime by the
sudden telegram which recalled me to
the city. I whipped my horse into a
mad gallop, and looked neither to tbe
right nor left, animated by a vague
wonder as to how any one existed there.
Again it was July, and hy a singu
lar chain of cirumsunces 1 found my
self ambling leisurely ou horseback
down the dusty high street of Blooms-bury.-
The same red suu whs blister
iug(the paint on the little new post
otlice, and the same brawny blacksmith
wiped the sweat from his brow before
li ib forge, and stopped work to stare at
mo in vacant way.
I It nd passed some idle hours iu bis
slKip before, and after a stolid scrutiny
he recognized me.
"Back again, 'squire V he asked, giv

lie was evidently proud of this
piece of memory.
"Fully that," i said, again wonder
ing how he had endured all these days
ami nights lit this Uod forsaken spot
lie iaised his muscular arm, and with
a blaekened linger pointed to the tiny
gables of a bouse near by.
"J ot married sinoe. I ve cot s
boy up theie, an' he'll bo a smithy I
reckon, though his mother is inclined
to the trade of shoe striitga, tapes, and
the like. 1 hate it, 1 do. Them be
all white-skinned, creamy fellows, with
no grit in 'em."
1 hnd never deemed it a possibility
that there could be marrying or giving
iu marriage here. lit this reeot
Bloomsbury resembled heaven iu my
tou t ilegioim mind. Perhaps the "old,
old story" of love had made it a para
dise to the young blacksmith.
I gave my home a brief teat and a
drink from tbe gasi fellow's trough, as
I inquired the current news of the
town, though, the Lord knows, nothing
could be further from my thought m
than le care what news there was. I
had seen but oner, for a moment, a
face which eveu faintly iutereMted me
in that horrible place, aud try aa hard
a 1 would, I could neterdiive away
that vision.
I had strolled into tbe little elhiw
ehtirch oue sultry day to eeoaie the
thunder storm which waa rapidly com
ing up lie m tbe went, and stepped into
tbe porch just as the hrst heavy drops
(Nattered on the roof, and on the bleach
ed grass about the tuuihled-d wn head
stones in the ysrd.
I I ws 1 ind ed a toy face which a
peered as a pale star in the orgaodufi,
among common-place, tawny featured
laces, with black and brown ringlets
streaming atound them. Ube did not
blush or return my gaze coyly, aa
young girla are wont to do in country
places, but looked over and beyond me
in a pitiful, vacant, meaniiigleaa way.
I don't know whether she wore pink,
er blue, or lavender. It was a cloudy,
filmy soil of dress, admirably suited to
her large gray eyes and ringa of yellow
hair. Her betiuet was a sweet little
thing, tied up with white ribbon. Mer
chin was like alabaster, her cheek was
scarcely less pale.
1 lingered on the church orcb after
the congregation had troojied out ami
the aextou had ahuttered up the
gloomy little edifice. I bad stupidly
nttssed ber in the UarWg, ' mih had
gone out at the choir eon wire f had
forgotteu the incident dinctly, and re-
member it now only yoMg Janwn,

tie dropped tbe hsmmer ub Hhip
clsng, and let bia iron col while he
looked at me threateningly for an in
stant. I he tigerish green faded trout
hia eye and left a dull, red glare.
"She waa considered handsome then.
I know who you mean."
"I MM hhe ia as pretty still. That
was a f see I thought a man might see
over his tea urn every day for a lildt
time and not lire.
''Do you think so, verily f' ssiJ Jau-
sen. sending up a shower of sparks.
"It leall owing to how the face looks
at you. If ii be with dead, cold eyea
and icy lisi why, man, death itself at
times could not match it. It was a
sweet face to hang in a locket."
With great simplicity he hsd express
ed my thought.
Now, your wife, I said iu a benter-
ing way ; "I dare say she is a smart
girl, given to teasing you, and coming
to meet you with your son on her
back, and then ;ou three romp away
home again.
A sigh of anguish burst from the
honest fellow's bosom, and for tbe first
time it dawned on me that in some
way I was blunderingly torturing him
I began to talk of other thing, and
strolled away with my bridle on my
arm until I reached a little gritty stone-
yard, where a gritty fellow with dusty
eye-lashes used to sing at his work of
mskinsr erave-stonea. He was at it
still, evolving a Roman-nosed angel in
a smock frock from a block of granite.
He was by all odds the merriest fel
low in Blooms jury, and the gossip of
tbe county.
He had many things to relate re la
tive to his trade, and many inquiries to
make relative to the rascals it was my
business to hunt down. He declared
himself vei y sorry that circumstances
had made a stone-breaker of one whom
fate clearly meant for a detective. He
bad a pair of pinkish eyes, deeply set
under shaggy brews, and a face brim
full of duplicity and conceit. He could
er
climb like a cat, he told me, and could
scale a lichened wall like a lizard.
Presently he said that he had seen
me talk to a man for whom he had a
(treat contempt the blacksmith. This
was very droll. I foresaw that the
stone-breaker must have at some time
injured the Norwegian.
He told me at great length a long
scandal in which Jansen had mixer
himself tin. He had married a half-
idiot girl and fathered her child, whose
father no one had ever seen or heard
of, and oarried around with him a pon
derous threat to kill any man, woman
or child who should speak lightly of
his wife.
"All that I say makes him a great
ass this blacksmith the m so lo
calise he is a joor man aud ktM his
idiot like a lady, with white-ringed
fingers and in stuff gowns instead of
iinsey ; and, bless you, he has given
up all his ways, droppei all hU pipes
and drinks at the publio house for the
sake of a wench who utters nothing
but sighs. This Norwegian of yours
is a prime calf, Mr. Detective."
This Norwegian was a lord, a demi-

in not safe to make the remark. The

to another so the lady could hear it,

said it, and winked to his paid, but la;
fore the smile left his face i.e. felt as

panied by lightning. 1 ho insulted wo
man had turned about and slapped
him by the side of the head with the
flat of her hand and he thought he
whole side of his face had caved iu.
He took himself by the side of his

on a run, and as he turned the corner
the lady sail: "Taint agoin, to ie

That slap has broke him of sucking e rgs.
