To the Editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel: Sir Heading in last Snuday's Sentinel the tetch entitled -Death of the Old Wife," I waa bo Impressed with its betuitful and life-like sim plicity that I thought to preserve It by changing it lato verse, whlcfi you will please insert in your xctllent Sunday cdili r.i. if you think it worthy of so much 'space. Respectfully,; s. a. B. She'd lmn all the day in a stupor. With constantly shorfnlnp of breath ; Her husband in sadness sat near hi r. Silently watching the work of death. And now as the night drew around them Its dark sable cut tu In of gloom, She woke and called her aied partner. To ask If ii U tit darkened the room. lie tenderly bent himself o'er her, And took In his own her wan hand, And nswcred her softly, that diirkue.-a Was fast shutting lUht from the land. And then her thoughts turned to their children. And aktd him if tley were all there: Their children, who'd all gone before them. And It ft them a sad, lonely pair. Wi'h trembling he answered her question; The children, de.tr one, are all safe; Don't thl. i k of them, Jeuet, my darllug. Cut rattier think now of yourself. My trust is i;i Thee, blessed Father, She mi J. though so dara is the way: I'd rather with God walk in darkness Thau alone iu toe sunlight of day. O.where is our Charley I she muttered Their Charley, whose soft golden hair 'Neath the Siows of a score of long wiuters Had lain, she imagined still there. The hands that so faithful had labored. So bravely had lightened his toil, Tbtt'. never had shiikedauy duty. However their palms it might soil; Those hands, all so calloused and wrinkled. Soculd now, he batted and kl-wed; For Weil he knew how lone and dreary Twould bi when the old wife was missed. For oft in their long-wed led j mruey Together they'd stood by the bed, Where the death-angel claimed for his victim "oe mother, or family's bead. And when the slow hours had reached midnight. That spirit so gealle ai d mild. As peacefully pal from iu labors. As comes the cairn leep of a cbild. Then the stricken old man. s-idly weeping. They tenderly led from the rMm, And k trove with their kind wordi and cheery To brihteu his dark bight of gloom. You've found Heaven first, my dear Jenet, He murmured: but noon you will come To tnko y ur ol t heart-broken partner With you to our heave.. ly home. So ere the first wi.iter snow's Mien, The o.d mau has gone to his rest. To live wlih his Luihful companion Fur aye iu the land of the blest. And thus was their grand diamond wedding. Their friend had s khidly prepared. Transferred loa fir brighter mansion. Where iuj y by Ihvl. cnlldreu are shared. luUiauapoiis, October 15, 1 AX AKDEXT LOVER. His name was Jacob. It had b en his father's before Litu, and his ftther'a father's. Thd S:o. Tin were a htrd-wurking, mouy getting ra :e. JaC b Storm, the father of our hero, constantly sal i thar. "ho couldn't see hy u .der thu shinin' sun a man needed an eddichtion; 't any rate, nior'n 'nough to reck n his crop and cUtle.'' Jacob, the younger, had nca expressed a de-ire; to at tend a .beul out of town ; bat S.orm, senior, killed his ambition in thai lespect with a few wjrda. Tho t ld red rchool-htu?e was good enough for your ftthtr and your giand father, and when you go; all you can there, I'll find plenty of work lor you; it shan't bo eaid thai one of th old Storm blood ever hired out to wotk!?r Grangers." The inhtbitahts of l'umevville were not all coiisei vatiyts of the St rin order Sons of rich farmers were in College, daughters of hard-workitig ftther and mothers were ,way at tcht'Oi, and Putney villa lelt their influence when they came home lor a va ition. One of the gate brightest, prettiest girls in town was Sillie Hi vers. Her father had a poorer farm and fewer btdi than his neighbor, Jacob S orrn. But the liiverä fan ily worshiped another idol. From the mo her down, every ons valued a good edu cation. The father had been denied it, as he had been the el lest of a large family, and compelled to aid in supporting the nst. lie was a man of excellent natural ability, and ex ravagantly fond of reading. "When bis boys and girls grew around bim the beat d "irn pot tant topics discued at the table; they knew all about Congress and our relations wiih foreign powers, and once Mr. Rivers bad been tailed upon to repretent bis town in the Legislature of tho State. The boys of the family were compelled to work their way through'College, and Sallie, the j vial, was compelled tw follow their ex ample. 2u wonder Jacob Storm, Jradored Sallie. lie had lived near her fir years and car ried her dinner pail baek and fortn for her, bad purposely mis-? pel led worda to let her pa63abve him. and in all her mvld-jst pranks he bad rej icd while others blamed. Sallie's brothers weie fond of her, ind never lor one moment thought it either unladylike or sinful for her to share all their sport?. When ne of their neighbors gave a party the verbal invitation was generally, Saide and the rest of the boys." Silli-liked it; she was full of bounding life; she ha ed silly airs; and a her brothers were, with on exception, older than ner self, surtly it wa-quite proper for ber to do as tbey did. When Tom wrote home from College that his dar little sitter "mu-t not go out in ihe hot sun, or she miht spoil her cjmplexim," S.ilie wrote back, "Don't bother, you der old maid. I cre more for good, sound health than anything ebe; and th.-so wbo really lve me won't mind a few frtckUa." Sallie went on in her own way; she dew from one end to the other of the lare farm hous, now iniing a scrap of lon.e lamiiiar 8ng, now chanting in full, jlear tones tom grand anthem. Jacob Storm h.d once cl ed her -Will-o-the-i.-p," and the name fitted her so well, the boy too i it up. The wilcest colt on the farm would obey SdKe; she feared nothing; w-nt and came as she pleased, and accoiu pished in n morning more than her mother and Huldih, tte maid, could pos sibly do together. Naturally, the war m-herted,acti ve, cheer, ful giil was the light of her father's eje. UtfCiHjll not BOLd her away Irom Horn, like the boyp, not even for the covtt4d edu cation. For three year? in her teens she bore the n-s'.ramt as meekly as possible; but th- fourth year it cou'd not be borne. How niu.-h the girl suffered in secrtt, no one knew. Father," she said, cne day, as she sprang xora her saddle, "my mind is made up. I hall go into the mill and earn money nough to attend school " Bat mother can't spare you. daughter." Mother is willin?," taid Sillie; '-she al jrv wanted to study herself." Well, we seem to need you here, some how," said the old gentleman, stroking the colt's neck to bide his feelings. Yes, father, and you shall have me. I can work bard and erne home to spend every vacation; and won't you be glad to see me?" ' - Mr. Rivers led the colt away, and did not answer. Why not?" he said to himself; &hj ahouldn't she have a fair chance? I suppose I nrght sell of the meadow to old Storm, and send my only girl away in good shape; but it will spoil the farm and I hate to." lie could not think of the house without her; le dreided the long winter evenings, and the warm cummer days without his darling, and at last ha eat down in one cor ner of the barn on an old grindstone, which Sallie had often turned for him. He sat there a long time to overcome his selfish ness; and at last, as he heard th? girl's ring ing von e railing him to supper, he rose up, saving, ''Shy's my only girl; ai d she shall nave a cl ame, come what will. ine do s were delighted, lney were proud of Sallie, and quite surd she would do herself and the family credit. To be sure, lorn a pride was hurt whn hi beard she was at work in the mill at Glenmere; but the new hou-e which Tom had ured bia father to build had cost more than they ex pected, and every year some new machinery must bo purchased. It whs twenty miles to Glenmere twenty miles from home-love, care and omfort, but Sallie did not falter. To be sure, it was a tiial to leave them all, a bird thing to select from her little store of girl's bclon ringt?: and a small room in a boarding-house would never afford the d -light that her own large, sunny chamber diJ. Sallie felt a thousand tears, but did not sh'd one, although hor mother and Huldah wept profusely as the carriage drove away, wit) SUin's father on th back seat with her, and Jacob Storm in front with Sallie's brother Dike. Dike was younger tha? his 6ister, and in deep griet at her lo It did not comfort him to be told that she would not board among stranger?, but become a member of Mrs. Mora's family. lie did not choose to listen when Jacob" Slorm told him that Sal lie was too wise and too good to remain buiiei in I'utny villa. Dike was sixteen, and at that goa boy considers everything a buriiiog shame" which interferes with his p!easure. I wish I had her chance," said Jacob, as father and daughter talked in low tones on the back feas. ''Great chance," said Dike, "to go down there and work among all eorU?, and never h-ve anv mu.io or any home, or D.k paus d; his feelings were too much for him, and yet he would not let Jake Storm see a tear in his eyrs. 'It's a chance to make yourself some thing lefer than a drudgo a chance to see and know what is g ing on in this great w rid. l'eding is good. Dike, but seeing is a million times better." Jacob read erly and lato, he thought and studied; but after all. he knew the discip line which Tom and Joe R vers were hiving wou'd be a great blessing to him. His onh dread was that Sallie might consider him inferior to her. "he shall not get before mo if I di trying," he said. Sillie's room was not so bad, after all; Mrs. Mora had done her beet to please h-1 old friend Mrs. llivers. When Sillie's bm ks were unpacked, and her piano was in one .-orner, and her pet bird Glory was hungup, the place was quite delighful S;ill!H could not live in a dingy, dull hole; mn-hine was necearv to her existence. Her rirst week in the mdl left her pale and weary, but a ttoat heart and a strong will kej or r up. At nignt she was busy: her music and studies o -cupied every moment. Mr Mora tried to interest her in the sports und games of her fellow-boarders, but Sallie politely declined. A room-mate was im pes ible, as she de sired to spend all her spare moments in preparation for her future work. About this time she wrr.te to To n: "It is a hard grind, dear old bov: and sometimes, when my head whirl with the noise, or the asso- ciations vex me, I feel l:ke running away to China or Japan; but L don t, I only g j home when I am free, and take a good dose o Ccopin or Uethoven; th-y tone me up. Iiycireul management I shall bo able to save some money. There is a little French giil here who is anxious to study; eVery week I give her a lesson for a lesson: I speak and read French wiih her; then two ot Airs. Moras chiMren take lessons on the piano, and my board bill is l'ght. Wh- do you think comes here every Sui;day? Why, Jacob Surra. His father will not let him go to Collegp, and be walks down hereatter work is done on Saturday, ai d return- S inday night. He is a great friend of John Mora V, and I hive to be teased ab ut him, I but I don't mind that. Jake seems like one I of you, and every week he asks me about I mv lessons.

When he drives down D ke comes with him, and I can work harder all the week after seeing his roy face. Jake gets books from the library here, and leaves them for me to read first; then we talk them over afterward, and Dike is ee'ting quite interested." Brave little Sillie! The days and weeks A-4W by and found her at her post. She only saw the hard daily toil, only felt the bonds which kept ber close until she could join the girls wbo quietly and easily walked - . tho path of knowledge. She did not know that her example gave Joe new courage, and kept Tom from many a '-College lark;" stie never dreamed that Jacb Storm was making a man of himself fvr ber sake; she could not sea the power she exerc sed over D.ke, who was inclined t be somewhat wayward; she never gused thit her devotion to sell-culture and study had stimulated some of her a-sociat-s to go and do likewise. She nly felt the pressure of the daily toil, and longed for the day of her emancipation, only worked unceas ngly. Iiittleby little the sound rf the factory bell g-ew hateful to her, and its red brick walls wearied her eves, but over and over to h9rslf she said, "There is no such word n fail, ' Her briet vacations were seasons of joy. Jacob Storm wished they might la.-t forever. He, too was hard at work; and one dav. when he and Sillie had dis cussed the merits of various author, and compared notes oncerning their studies, Sallie's outburst of prai-e f r his achieve ment drew from him an avowal of love. 'Why, Jacob," said she, regretfully, I never thought of you in that way. I should as soxn tancy Torn marrying me. "You think I am clumsy and slow," he satd. ''or perhars stupid and ignorant, be Cause I remain here when others go away; tbey have educated themselves, with fate and foitjne to aid them. I have done i thu f r against fate and without fortune. I shall some day make the world hear of me; bow, when or where, 1 qj not know, but it will come." I believe you, Jacob," slid Sillie, 'and I am pro id of y. u; but love is something I know nothing of, and until I have finished mv oour. e as a student, I must p it pleasure out of my head. Don't sulk Jacob; I am not I earliest, only ignorant. Come, saddle Tam O Shanter, and let us have one of your mad rides to Sp tt kling Spring, it will be some thing to remember when 1 am grin .ing at the mill again.' Jacob obeyed her. Her wishes had been his law for years and he was manly enough to be proud of it. At last the gaal was won. Sallie was in College devoting herself to her cherished bcoks. and Jac b still worked as be had done before, now blaming himself for his folly in regarding his fathers wishes, now working at his books with the desperate energy of one who has staked all an suc cess. Every Sunday he visited Glenmere with Dike, but no longer spends bis time with Sallie. At last a chance came. Jacob Sloim, senior, was gathered to his fathers, and his son was free. Dike wrote to his sister in boyish fashion: "Old Storm has gone, and Jake mourns for him as if he had been loving and tender, instead of a stiff old miser. Jake will leave here soon; he does not say where he is go ing. "I shall miss him terribly; we Lave read and studied together all winter. Jake knows aheap. He surprises me all the time. He is having your picture painted for nie from the one you sent home. 1 wish I c uld go with him, but, as jou fay, it would never do to have father and m ther alon. I am reading the books you ordered, but I ca'i't pin myself down to hard study alter work ing bard all dy." Sallie's lat year o' College liTe was draw ing near a close, and' tho students were nr. ranging for their separation, when an invi tion was sent to the n to attend a lec ure by an eminent gentleman who bad been re cently appointed ton Professorship in a Western University. "Going, Miss Rivers?" asked a f-ri r a sh peeped in the half-open d dvor f S.xlli.; room. No, I think not. I shall employ ike time in writing home." 'Di go Thv tol) me Professor Storm is quite remarkable, an3 Darwinism his its.t tra' tion for us all " 'Profeor S'orm wa doweled with the Pros to-day," said are the senior, "and I underr-la.-jd that the light of his countenance wili illu iiinaty the C.dleuo to-morrow." "I think I will go," said Sallie, suddenly. It will not do to mifS a treat." In ler rebelliom little heart she was sny ing, "I will go for the take of tho o.d nnme and ray childhood's friend, but poor old Juke will never know it."

The Klug and I be Hiller. Near Sans Souci, the lawrite residence of Frederic the Geat, thre was a mill, which interfered greatly with the view from the palace. One day the King sent to inquire what tho owner would take for the mul, and the unexpected reply came tl at ti e miller would not sell it for any money. The King, much incensed, gave orders that the mill th. uld be pulled dow n. The miller made no resistance, but folding his arms, quietly remarked: 'The King may do this, but there are laws in Prussia. And he took legal proceedings, the result of which was that the King had to rebuild the mill and to pay a good sum of money besides in compensation Although Iiis Majesty was much cha grinid at this end to the matter he put tho be;t face he could upn it, and turning to his courtiers he remarked: 4'I am glad to see that there are jut laws and upright Judges in my Kingdom." A lequel to this incident occurred about forty years ago. A descendant of the mill er of whom we have jut been talking had come into p esession of the mill. After having struggled for Eeveral years against ever-increasing poverty, and being at length quite unable to keep on in bis bu siness, he wrote to the King of Prussia, re mioding him of the incident we have just related, and stating that, if His Majesty lelt so disposed, he should be very thankful, in a : rr iA A 11 n 1 ' "ihn hisnreient dimcultv. to sell tne mill.

Many astronomer?, from Herschel down wards, have f pent much time in ob-erving and speculating upun the structure and functions of the great stellar ttreams known as the Galaxy or Milky Way, This part of the heavens has recently been made an ob ject of care'ul study by M. Houzeau, of Bru-sels Observatory. He has iniicut d its composition by means of curves of equal luminous intensity. Looking casually at the Milky way, one miht b di-p el to think its luminosity nearly thetame throughout- But M. Houzetu finds in it a series ot luminous plates or mags-ej to the number t f Uirty-tbree, each-diminishing in brightness outward from the centre. These are arrange! almost exidly along a greit circle of ibe celestial sphere. The so'ar system is nearly in the plane of this "equator," and probably near its centre. SOOIETY DIREOrORY.
