RIDING DOWN.
BY KOBAH PEREY.
0, did you see him riding down,
And riding down while all the town
Came out to age, came out to see,
And all the bells were mad with glee?
0, did you hear those bells ring out,
The bells ring out, the people about,
And did you hear that cheer on cheer
That over the bells rang clear?
And did you see the waving flags,
The fluttering flags, the tattered flags,
Red, white and blue, shot through and
through,
Baptized with battle's deadly dew?
And did you hear the drums' gay beat,
The drums' gay beat, the bugles' sweet,
The cymbals' clash, the cannon's crash,
That rent the sky with sound and flash?
And did you see me waiting there,
Just waiting there and watching there,
One little lass, amid the mass
That pressed to see the hero passs?
And did you see him smiling down
And smiling down, as riding down
With slowest pace, with stately grace,
He caught the vision ol a face
My face, uplifted, red and white,
Turned red and white with sheer delight,
To meet the eyes, the smiling eyes,
Outflashing in their swift surprise?
O, did you see how swift it came,
How swift it came, like sudden flame,
That smile to me, only me,
That little lass who blushed to see?
And at the windows all along,
O, all along, a lovely throng
Of faces fare, beyond compare,
Beamed out upon him, riding there!
Each face was like a radiant gem,
A sparkling gem, and vet lor them
No swift smile came, like sudden flame,
No arrowy glance took certain aim;
He turned away from all the grace,
From all that grace of perfect face,
He turned to me, to only me,
The little lass who blushed to seel
A BACHELOR'S ROMANCE.
A vigorous pull at the front door-bell
started Mr. Wells, as, with his feet
carefully poised on the desk, cbair
tipped back, and the fames of an odor
ous Havana pervading the apartment, he
indulged in hie usual after-dinner
smoke. Mr. Frederic Wells was a con
firmed bachelor, and notwithstanding
the many solicitations of his fair friends,
whose charms had failed to melt his ob
durate heart, still persisted in eschewing
society, and living with his sister almost
the life of a recluse. But Mr. Wells
had not always been so exclusive; only
a few years before he had met and loved
Lucy Shelton, the daughter of one of
Chicago's wealthy citizens. This young
lady, though refusing to be his wife, ac
knowledged har. heart to be his, but
she had promised her father to marry his
partner, Joseph Parker, and circum
stances over which she had no control
compelled her to keep her word and
marry his rival her father's choice. In
vain he pictured to her the wrong she
would do him, herself and her husband;
nothing could turn her from her course.
Not wishing to witness Parker's tri
umph, Mr. Wells resolved to leave Chi
cago. Accordingly he, with his only
sister, removed to the East, where they
occupied an elegant house in one of
New England's nourishing cities. In
their peaceful Eastern home rumors had
reached them of the failure of the house
of Shelton & Parker. Later the sad
tory of young Parker's downfall
reached their sympathetic ears how, by
becoming a victim of the demon, intem
perance, he had reduced his fair young
wife to the necessity of giving music les
sons in order to keep starvation from her
door. Mr. Wells, by thinking of Lucy
as the wife of another and a woman false
to her heart's best impulses, sought to
banish her forever from his mind, and
while he pitied the unfortunate Lucy , he
he still thought that she in a measure
deserved her sad fate. With these bitter
feelings would come a wish to stretch
out a helping hand to this woman, who,
by scorning his love, had consigned him
to a hopeless, hapless existence.
On the afternoon our story opens he
was musing upon a means of aiding Mrs.
Parker for he knew her proud spirit
would refuse any pecuniary assistance
from him when the sound of an un
usually loud ring of the door-bell
aroused him from his reverie, and' in
stantaneously brought his feet and
chair to their proper position.
"Whew!" he exclaimed, as he knocked
the ashes from his cigar, "something
unusual is wanted to warrant such im
patience." Just then the door of the study
opened and his sister called him to come
and see what had been left at their door.
Hastily following her into the hall, he
beheld, to his surprise, in the arms of a
servant, who explained that she had found
"the little thing" lying on the door-step
when she opened the door, an' infant
some seven or eight months old, wrapped
in a huge shawl, and calmly gazing with
bright blue eyes at the astonished group.
Taking the child in his arms, Mr. Wells
proceeded to move the shawl and found
pinned to the dress a card bearing the
name Lucy, and gathering the little form
to his breast, great tears swelled up into
his eyes as he bent his head over the tiny
baby face and murmured: "Those eyes!
that name! Surely, this is Lucy's child."
Then, as if ashamed of his emotion, he
handed the child to his sister, telling
her in a gruff voice to see to its wants,
vanished into his sanctum, slamming
the door with a bang that plainly told
her he did not wish to be interrupted;
and here while sobs shook his frame, the
question, can this be Luoy's ohild? con
stantly recurred to him. He had not
even heard that she had a child; besides
he knew she was in Chicago very recent
ly in a state of abject poverty. But,not
with standing these contrarieties, the re
semblance he fancied existed between
this -little waif and Mrs. Parker, only
served to confirm him in the idea that
this was indeed her child; then again he
would ask himself How came it to that
city? to his door? None of his friends in
Chicago knew of his whereabouts, and
how was it possible for Mrs. Parker thus
to leave her child to the mercy of a man
she' had so cruelly wronged? At
length, no finding a satisfactory an
swer to his queries, he resolved to keep
this little foundling, to bring it up as his
own, cherish it as a boon from heaven
sent to cheer his lonely life and bring
sunshine in to his heart and home.
- . "Well Ellen, how do you and the lit
tle stranger agree?" playfully inquired
Mr. Wells, as he met his sister at the
tea-table that evening.
"Her ladyship and myself are on won
derfully good terms, considering our
limited acquaintance," laughingly re
joined his sister. "Come and see her
new quarters, but as she is asleep, you
must make as little noise as possible."
"Oh! ho! the little tyrant has issued
her decrees thus early in her reign," gay
lr retorted Mr. Wells, "but she'll not
find an obedient subject in me:" and
with stealthy steps he followed Ellen into
the next room, where lying upon an im
promptu couch, improvised with an arm
chair and pillows, was the form of a
sleeping child. As Mr. Wells stood gaz
ing at the infantile face, the blue eyes
opened and looked up at him, while a
bright smile lit up the baby features and
rendered more striking the memory of
another smile that had once shed its roys
over his pathway.
Ellen was delighted at the prospect of
caring for this little one, whose coming
she felt would dispel her brother's gloom
and bring joy to them both.
That evening on returning home
at a late hour, Mr. Wells perceived a
prostrate figure lying directly in front of
his door.
"Hello! Who is this? You will freeze
to death in this blinding storm," he ex
claimed. But the figure remained
motionless, and approaching, Mr. Wells
proceeded to uncover the face. As the
gleam of the street-lamp fell upon the
upturned countenance of a young, and
once beautiful woman he staggered
back, muttering: "Oh, my God! Has it
indeed come to this? My poor, poor
Lucy!" and raising the frail form in his
strong arms he carried her into the
house, calling' to his sister, who was sit
ting up waiting his return, to send for a
physician and bring restoratives, as he
had just found Lucy Shelton, dead, or
near so, at their door.
Ellen, who had known and loved Lucy
during her happier days in Chicago, as
suring herself that she had only fainted,
immediately set about bringing back to
life the inanimate form. At length her
efforts were rewarded; the color came
slowly back To the pallid cheek, the
beautiful eyelids quivered and revealed
a pair of blue eyes that wandered in a
restless, searching glance, from face to
face, as if looking for some beloved ob
ject. In tones of piteous agony she
wailed :
"Oh, my baby! my lost darling!"
Then, as if speaking to some unknown
person she would clasp her poor little
hands and implore the restoration of her
child.
The doctor declared hers to be a most
Erecarious case of brain fever, and that
er recovery would be almost a miracle
as some great mental sorrow was aiding
the ravages of this terrible disease.
For many weeks Lucy's life tottered
on the verge of eternity. Mr. Wells and
his sister were untiring in their care and
watchfulness, making every effort in
their power to save the life of the hap
less mother of their little foundling, for
as such both had grown to consider her.
During her ravings she reproached her
faithless husband with having robbed
her of her only source of happiness her
child, and besought him, in plaintive
tones, to bring back their baby, to tell
where he had hidden their child. ' On
one occasion she pleaded so piteously
that she be restored to her arms, that
Ellen moved by her entreaties, brought
the child and laid it at her side; but in
stead of assuaging the mother's sorrow
this only increased her agony, as, turn
ing away from her little one, she accused
them of trying to deceive her.
"My husband has stolen my child,"
she cried. "Oh! what shall I do with
out my darling?"
One day, after Mrs. Parker had been
ill for about for six weeks, Ellen entered
her room to see after her patient's wants.
On approaching the bedside a thin little
hand clasped hers, and a trembling voice
inquired:
"Have I been ill long? Oh, Ellen
why did you call me back to.a life of mis
ery and sorrow?"
"Hush, you must not talk now. When
you are stronger all will be explained,"
answered the delighted Ellen, and kiss
ing her pallid cheek, and recommending
her to rest, she fled to her brother with
the welcome tidings of Mrs. Parker's
recovery.
On reaching Mr. Wells' study, she
found him in a state of intense excite
ment, caused by something he had read
in the newspaper, which he clutched con
vulsively with one hand, while with the
other he pointed to a paragraph which
read:
"Last night during a quarrel in one
of the drinking dens of this city, a young
man named Joseph Parker was shot by
an unknown assassin through the heart.
As Parker is a stranger in the city, his
body will be in the morgue until to-morrow,
iu case some of his friends might
wish to claim it."
"A terrible end to an ill-spent life,"
was Ellen's verdict, as, glancing over the
article, she realized how just are the
punishments of an all-wise Ood. "Lucy
has regained her reason," she told her
brother; "and is sensible of her child's
loss. We must conceal it safely and the
death of her husband from her until she
is sufficiently strong to bear this double
shock."
"You are right; my dear sister," re
joined Mr. Wells; "but in the meantime
I will have the unfortunate Parker de
cently interred."
Accordingly he proceeded to the
morgue, and there recognized in the
bloated, scarred face the features of a
once brilliant man and the husband of
the unhappy Lucy. By Mr. Wells' or
ders the remains were conveyed to the
nearest churchyard, and a plain marble
slab erected to mark the resting place of
him who had been the cause of his un
happiness and of Lucy's misery.
Under Ellen Wells' skillful nursing,
Mrs. Parker's return to health was quite
rapid. Day by day she gained new
strength, till at length the doctor pro
nounced her strong enough to hear the
tidings of her child's safety. As yet
Mr. Wells had not seen her, and only on
one occasion had she mentioned her pre
server's name. This was when speaking
of her past wretched existence, she
blamed herself for having not only blight
ed her own life, but for being the cause
of his misery. She told Ellen
that her father had extorted a
promise from her to marry Parker
by avowing himself on the verge of
bankruptcy, from which his marriage
alone would save him. Accordingly she
sacrificed her heart's dearest love in or
der to save her father's honor. Matters
got worse instead of better, after this ill
fated marriage. Parker spent his time
and money at the gaming table, and
finally not content with squandering his
own money, spent that of the firm also.
A crisis was inevitable, and when at lust
the house was declared bankrupt every
thing was sacrificed to satisfy the credi
tors. Even her father was not spared
her; for, when he realfzed the extent of
misery in store for himself and his cher
ished child, he took his own life. But
her trials did not end here. Her hus
band fell from one degredation to an
other, till at last, from neglecting his
young wife he grew to abuse her. With
the aid of a few friends she obtained sev
eral music scholars, and with the money
thus earned kept starvation from her
door. When at length her patrons re
fused to aid one whose drunken husband
was ever in attendance, she resolved to
fly with her child, an infant of seven
months, from the scene of her many sor
rows, to the east, where she hoped to
get employment but here she was fol
lowed and tortured by her tyrant hus- ,
band's presence. Life become almost )
unbearable, but for her ohild, whom she
devotedly loved, she would have ended
her own existence. Jealous of the atten
tion she lavished upon her babe, the in
human father threatened to take it from
her. Not dreaming him capable of so
diabolical an act, she did not fear the
fulfillment of this threat, and on the af
ternoon of the day they found her at
their deor , she left her darling under his
care, while she went forth in search of
employment. On her return after a
fruitless afternoon's labor, she found
their lodgings deserted, and. not a trace
of the whereabouts of her child to be
seen. Realizing that her husband had
kent his threat, she rushed, frantic with
grief, about the streets in hopes of find
ing some clue to the little one's retreat.
At length, tired of wandering about, she
sat down upon a doorstep to rest. Here
she remembered nothing further; and
"Oh! Ellen," the invalid continued, "to
think that I should have come to you,
to be nursed by you back to life you
who would be justified in turning me
from your door, because of the blight I
have cast upon your noble brother's life.
But God knows how bitterly I have been
punished for my folly."
Tears filled Mrs. Parker's eyes, as she
concluded her sorrowful story, and
trinkeled down her pale cheeks. Ellen,
kissing the tears away, vainly tried to
cheer her by picturing a brighter future,
the possibility of again finding her miss
ing child. She declared she would never
be happy while her tyrant husband
lived.
Ellen, embracing this opportunity,
disclosed the details of Parker's death
and burial to his heart-broken wife, who
listened with bated breath and long
drawn sighs till she had finished the sad
recital; then throwing her arms about
Ellen's neck she sobbed out her grief on
her shoulder.
The latter endeavored to soothe her
sorrows, but Lucy was inconsolable, not
so much at the loss of her miserable
husband as at the realization of her own
condition deprived of her father, hus
band and child. "My poor baby," she
wailed, "if I only had you I could bear
all else."
"Then bear your trials, dear Lucy;
your child is safe and well," Ellen said,
and proceeded to tell the weeping
mother how the ohild had been found at
a gentleman's door; how it had been
taken in and tenderly oared for, until
she should be sufficiently recovered to
take it back; that this same gentleman
was at that moment waiting to restore it
to her arms, and recommending her to
quiet and rest, Ellen left the room to
prepare her brother for the meeting.
Lucy had covered her face with her
hands and promised to comply; but find
ing herself alone fell on her knees, and
raising her hands and eyes to heaven, in
fervent tones she thanked the Father of
the widow and the orphan for having
spared her to her fatherless little one.
"Oh, God!" she concluded, "bless and
prosper him who, in charity, has suc
cored my lost lamb in its hour of direst
need." Rising, she stood face to face
with Frederick Wells."
For an instant her tongue refused to
articulate a word, but as her eyes
fell upon her lost darling whom
he carried in his arms, she uttered a
cry, and snatching the child to her glad
bosom, the fond mother almost smothered
the frightened little one with oaresses.
Mr. Wells, standing a silent witness of
this reunion, felt amply repaid for his
long years of pain, and he thought how
much more blessed it is to give joy than
sorrow.
When Mrs. Parker raised her eyes,
streaming with tears of joy, to his face,
and said: "Mr. Wells, how shall I ever
pay this great debt of gratitude, for not
only do I owe my own life to your kind
ness, but also that of this child, infi
nitely more precious to me?" he an
swered: " By giving me the right io
watch over and protect you both, I will
be made immeasurably happy;" and
drawing mother ajftd child to his breast
he kissed Lucy's tear-stained face.
Of course she consented, for a few
months later a quiet wedding took place
from the Wells' residence, when, after
all her sorrows, Lucy Parker became the
wife of her heart's first love.

"Don't-you know its very wrong to
smoke, my boy?" said an elderly looking
lady, in a railway waiting-room to Young
America, who persisted in puffing a cheap
cigarette, much to the old lady's discom
fort. "Oh, I smoke for my health," an
swered the boy, emitting a volume of
smoke from his mouth which almost
strangled the old lady.
"But you never heard of a cure from
smoking," continued the lady when she
had regained conscousness.
"Oh, yes I did," persisted the boy, as
he formed his mouth into a young Vesu
vius working on full time; "that's the
way they cure pigs."
"Smoke on then," quickly replied the
old lady; "there's some hope for you
yet!" Younkers Statesman.
A Wat They Have. "How much Is
the ante," whispered a Bed Gulch miner
with a single $20 gold piece to the dea
con with the collection plate in the Bap
tist church at Black Bun, Colorado. He
was told to contribute whatever he
chose, whereupon he said he'd chip in a
dollar, and proceeded to take $19 change.
The deacon softly replied that no change
was given. A struggle ensued, the plate
was upset and the congregation were in
the act of "jumping the deacon's claim,"
when the minister, an old Calif ornian,
leaned over the pulpit with a large navy
revolver and observed: "The brethren
will please take notice that I've got the
drop on them, and any brother who de
clines to go to his seat or who touches
any of that money will have a funeral at
his house to-morrow at 2 o'clock p. sr.
Our mining friend from Bed Gulch will
kindly release the deacon's throat or he
is a dead man." The $20 gold piece
went to save the heathen. .
A New Peacemaker. A new gun,
said to surpass all others in death-dealing
powers, was tested a fortnight ago
on the Hasenhaide at Berlin by an Im
perial Military Commission, the inventor,
Uonrad Uarbe, being present. The
result was a favorable one, as the arm
was proved capable of amazing rapidity
in use. Its principal advantage lies in
its simple construction, which makes
necessary only four movements of the
hands for loading and discharging. The
cartridge cp can be expelled bv a lateral
jerk. The kick of the weapon, which
weighs only nine pounds, is hardly, if at
all, perceptible. The Commission rec
ommended its adoption by the German
army, and that partly in view of the fact
that the Manser gun now in use can be
easily remodelled on the Garbe system.
Lord Beaconsfield, though an old man

years before Benjamin Disrasli. Mr.
Gladstone was born four years later, in
1809, and Mr. John Bright in 1811.
