But with all their sofl-solder and blar

The Grangers, in putting forward a far

were wise enough to select a gentleman
of irreproachable character, one whose
record as a voter has been unswerving
ly Democratic, and who is known
throughout the length and breadth of
the county as an honorable, high-toned
gentleman; an industrious and inleUi
gent farmer, and a man whose probity
is above all question. He is a candf
date whom no Democrat can be asham ed
of supporting. He still claims to be a

by the Grangers at the time of his nom

CHAPTER V.
Ten years, with its joys and sorrows, its
happinesses and miserits, its fondly cher
ished recollections and brightest hopes,
bare passed away and arc now numbered
with the countless ages that have cease
lessly rolled on until engulphed in the
dark and gloomy abyss of the mighty Fast.
We will now resume the severed thread
of onr story.
Mary was married several years ago.
She and her liege lord sailed for Europe
soon after her marriage to spend a few
years in travel. Latta obtained a situa
tion in college soon after her father's death,
and lived in almost entire seclusion. But
her name bad been indellibly graven on
an enduring tablet in the temple of fame,
aod she was everywhere received with
honor. By her own exertion, and through
the exercise of her talents, she had be
come possessed of a handsome fortune.
It had been a long time since she bad
heard from Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, when, one
evening, as she sat sadly dreaming of other
days, the mail boy handed her a letter.
She recognized the superscription aa that
of her kind benefactress, and hastily broke
the seal. It ran thus;
"Dear Latta: Do come and comfort
us in our despair. The tide of fortune has
indeed changed. Mr. Ellis, involving hie
estate in a large speculation, lost all. We
will soon be without shelter, to even shield
ns from the storms. Mary embarked for
Europe after her marriage, and we have
heard nothing from her for months; and
often, in moments of low-spiritedness, I
imagine she is dead. Oh! why did not
God send us this great trial when our
hearts were stout, and able to bear it?
Yet I will try to think, VX for the best."
Do come to us. Yours in trouble,
"Martha Ellis."
This was quite a surprise to Latta. She
started as soon as possible, bidding the
dull routine of school life farewell.
Arrived at the village of her former res
idence, she first sought the holder of the
mortgage on Mr. Ellis' estate, which she
purchased, and then went to them not
to receive thanks due her, for she said she
was only returning past favors.
They received her with outspread arms,
It seemed like .an angel's visit, bringing
alleviation of their troubles, and strewing
their rugged pathway with flowers.
Five years sped swiftly by since Latta
had come to live with Mr. and Mrs. Ellis,
and fill their absent daughter's place.
One pleasant autumnal afternoon, the
trio sal in the veranda, conversing of the
past and their loved ones. A carriage
drove up to their gate, and a lady and
gentleman alighted, and to the astonish'
ment and joy of all, Mary and her hl8
band walked up the pavement.
My pen is inadequate to describe their
happiness. All were too full for utterance.
Mary at last broke the silence with the
story of bcr long absence.
After she and her husband had spent
three years in traveling from one country
to another, visiting every spot of any note
in history or story, they embarked for
America. The vessel in which they sailed
was wrecked, and she and her husband
were separated. For years neither knew
whether ihe other lived. Mary was cast
upon an almost barren coast, inhabited by
poor and illiterate fishermen, who were as
a people almost entirely cut off from com
munication with the outer world. She
had loot everything in the wreck, and
was unable to make her situation known
to those who would have flown to her re
lief. Mr. Uurbert, her htieband, had
searched the world over for her. He
dared not return to her parents with the
story of her supposed death. But after
awhile be ro-m moved up courage to start
to them. About this time fortune bad
unexpectedly favored Mary with kind
friends, who provided her with funds to
return home. For days she and Mr. Hu
. , , . .. . ..
oen traveled togetner in the same car,
stopped at the same hotel, yet each failed
to recognize the other. At length, just
before reaching their place of destination
the discovery was made, and husband and
wifewere soon locked in each others arms.
Now that Mary had come, and their
houshold was complete, Latta spoke of
returning to her school duties, but her
kind benefactor would not consent. Thus
tbey lived on. Latta had just finished a
new novel, which she entitled "The Dis
appointment of Life," a tale culled from
the darker pages of her own history. She
had finished the last line on the eve of her
thirty-filth birthday, as the sun was going
down in the far-off west She laid her
pen down with a weary sigh, and called
Mrs. Ellis, who was in an adjoining room,
to come to her, (for she had been confined
to her room from a slight indisposition, as
they all thought). She said:
'Mrs. Ellis, soon after my mothers
death, you said that I should not swerve
from duty to myself or others: that Ood
had given me a mission to perform. Have
I done so? Have I done mv duty!"
"Yes, my darling; but why do you ask
so strange a question?"
"Because I wish to know," and an al
most angelic smile wreathed ber counte
nance, "for I am going to join the loved
ones at Home. I have finished my last
labor, and most solemnly do I dedicate it
to my mother. I will not try to thank
you, my almost second parent, for the lov
ing kindness you have ever bestowed on
me. My breath is crowing short, but oh.
do not fear Death. He is a welcome
visitor. God has ever been my comforter.
He will not forsake me now."
She then repeated the twenty-third
lalm, ("The Lord is my shepherd,")
raised her beautiful eyes imploringly, and
clasped her hands together in earnest
prayer, then, gasping as if for breath,
laid back on the couch upon which she
was seated, and closed her eyes in sleep
never more to wake in this wicked
world of ours, but in that brilliant home
prepared for.all God's servants.
The morning of her life had been over
cast by clouds; but as the noon came on
she triumphed over every obstacle, every
cloud was dispersed, the sun grew brighter
and brighter, until it shone forth in per
fect light; and her death was as tranquil
as the closing of a summer eve.
THE END.
For the Hartford Herald.
THE LESSON OF LIFE.
Whea everything is counted, it will be
found that the sum total of our lives re
solves itself into but two things, and these
are anticipation and memory. The pleas
ures ana miseries or llie moment are
ephemeral, and only to be taken note of
they leave their record in the past.
Id youth, life is richest in anticipation;
but as years roll on, the mind acquires
the habit of looking backward; and when
old age has come, there is nothing left this
side of the grave. Fortunate is that man
who, in the midst of the cares and tur
moilsofabusy and often unsatisfactory
life, has a happy childhood to look back
upon a picture gallery of loving faces
that once formed a home circle: a record
of sunny years which includes all of the
kindnesses that lofing parents could im
part
Whoever robs a child of these pleas
ures, takes more than he can ever return
to him in any way. A close, hard, nar
row life lived in childhood dwarfs his
whole nature, and leaves for him no bless,
-j i . . . .
eu store oi memories to lau baclc upon
when the'present becomes unsatisfying.
Therefore, provide for your children all
the enjoyments you can. In doing thin,
you not only give them present pleasure
which is a great deal, as in youth im
pressions are stronger and more readily
received, and the rapacity for enjoyment
consequently greater for him in memories
which shall last him all his life.
Let the atmosphere which surrounds
your children be so impregnated with
kindness that they shall breathe it in, as
it were, at every inspiration. Their
hearts will grow larger and their blood
run clearer and purer.
Mothers and fathers. let vour lives be
so upright and pure that, when you have
passea away, your memories shall be en
shrined in their hearts, and a halo will
surround them. Sitting by the evening fire
side in your easy chair, at rest, and look
ing at the warm light on the face of your
little boy or eirl sitting before vou. do vou
ever think of what kind of remembrance
those little ones will have of you when
tbey grow old 7 Look into the years to
come. Think of that smooth face lined
and roughened, those bright and cluster
mg curls gray-grown, those sparkling
eyes dimmed by time, and you long to be
in your grave. Of course your son will
not have lorgotten you. lie will yet
think and speak of his parents who are
gone, will memory carry bis mind back
to a sad or happy past 7 A. E. W,

GEN. FRANK BLAIB.
Ills Snddcn Death at HU Louie, Thn
day Night.
Sr. Louis, July 9. Gen. Frank P.
Blair, jr., died at half past eleven o'clock
last night. Although the General had
been sick a long time without any hope of
recovery, bis death was sudden and at
the time unexpected
It seems that the immediate cause of
Gen. Blair s death last night was a fall
he received while walking from one room
to another in his house. He had been
out for a drive in the afternoon. He re
turned about 5 o clock, and seemed to
have enjoyed it much, and received con
eiderable benefit, but while walking in
his room he was attacked with dizziness,
and fell, striking his temple against a
piece of furniture, which rendered him
insensible. Medical aid was immediate
ly summoned, and every effort made to
restore him to consciousness, but without
suceess.
At half past 11 ha quietly passed away
snrrounded by all the niembere of his
family. His parents have been tele'
graphed to, and will probably arrive here
in time for the funeral Sunday. The
family desire a quiet funeral, but th
members of the old First Missouri regi
ment, of which Gen. Blair was the first
colonel, have called a meeting for to
morrow, and will probably decide to ac
company the remains of their old corn
manner to bis grave; and'otber organiza
tions may determine to do likewise.
A BOLD Jf ORDER.
An Engine and Express Car Captured
by Brigands at Eons; Point; Ilia.
EnRfheerAmea Shot Scad, and -the
Rest or the Train Detach
ed and Abandoned.
Tekre Haute, Isd , July 9. Long
Point a station on the Vandalia railroad,
three miles west of Casey, Illinois, is a
place where all trains on that road usual
ly stop for water. It is a lonesome place,
situated in the woods, with no one living
within a mile and a half of it It has
long been considered by railroad men as
a dangerous place. Several times lately
the engineers have seen suspicious persons
lurking about there at night and hare run
by without stopping for water.
ENGINEER AMES KILMD.
Last night at midnight, as train No. 5
east bound, conductor Fraley and engi
neer Milo Ames, came up to Long Point
for water, two men boarded the locomo
tive, one from each side, and said to the
engineer, "pull out"
The engineer was at first somewhat be
wildered, when they said again "pull
out," when he, seeming to comprehend
the situation, saidr "all right, I'll poll
out."
The men then said, "we will run the
thing ourselves'," and at that both rob
bers fired. One of the shots killed the
engineer instantly, and the other lodged
in the cab.
MESSENGER BURKE ATTACKED.
The fireman, who was on the tank
taking in water, immediately jumped and
ran to the fear of the train to notify the
train men, having heard the conversation
and comprehending the situation.
Daring these proceedings at the engine,
a confederate had detached tbe Adams
Express car, and they then, pulling the
engine wide open, ran her about two miles
east and stopped, blowing off brakes to
deceive tbe express messenger. They then
went to the door of the car and said, "Let
me in, Jack.'' He replied to them. "You
sons of bitches, I am ready for yon. If
you ever come in here you are dead men."
The robbers then commenced firing in
to the car. The messenger, Burke, said it
seemed to him that there were a dozen of
them, as the shots seemed to come from
all directions.
PURSUIT BY THE TRAIN VEJT.
The conductor and train men, after the
shots were fired, saw the situation of af
fairs, and at once set about to pursue them.
They could only find one revolver on the
train, but found two soldiers on the train
who were armed with carbines. With
these weapons the train men and the two
soldiers started in pursuit of the engine
and the robbers, but when they came up
to the engine all was quiet, the robbers
having fled. They found the engineer
in the bottom of his cab, cold and stiff.
There chanced to be a freight engineer
(Jack VandergrefT) on the train, and he,
with the fireman, immediately ran the en
gine back to the train and brought it in.
ENTIRE FAILURE OF THE R0DBERS.
The robbers failed to gain any entrance
whatever into the express car, it being one
of the close kind, having no windows and
very strong in every way. Had they de
tached the American Express car also,
which was immediately in the rear of the
Adams, they would undoubtedly have ac
complished their object, as it was an open
car having windows, and the doors not
being very strong. The train men found
the hammer by which the coupling pin
was knocked out, and which may here
after serve as a clue to the discovery of
the perpetrators of this outrage.
REWARD OFFERED FOR THE MURDERERS.
The train men speak in very flattering
terms of the pluck and bravery displayed
by the express messenger. Burke, under
the trying circumstances in which he was
placed. There is intense feeling among
the railroad men over the tiagical death
of Engineer Ames, and should the perpe
trators be caught it is very generally be'
lieved that it will not cost the State any'
thing to prosecute them. Engineer Ames
was one of the best engineers on the road
He was about thirty-five years old, and
bad been married but a short time. The
robbers who boarded the locomotive wore
long linen dusters. Conductor Fraley,
and all the train men in fact, did all they
could under the circumstances. Several
suspicious persons are already under ar
rest, and every effort will be made by the
railroad company to bring the robbers to
justice. They hare, it is understood, al
ready offered a reward of one thousand
dollars. The particulars have been
gathered from one of the train men who
was a witness of the whole affair.
TURK! MEK ARRESTED.
St. Louis, July 9. Agood deal of infor
mation was received here to-day regard'
ing the murder of Engineer Ames and the
attempted robbery of the Vandalia rail
road train at Long Point last night, but
the main facts of the affair are fully cov
ered by the account from Terre Haute
this morning. Major Simpson, general
superintendent of the Vandalia road, re
ceived a dispatch stating that three men
have been arrested, one of whom is known
to have been encased in the murder. Th
Vandalia Company offered a reward
Of
$1,000 fr each man connected with the
affair. The City Council of Casey offered
$150 reward, and this sum is expected to be
largely increased by tbe county and State
authorities.
THE MURDERED ENGINEER.
Engineer Ames was a native of Wash
ington, Mass., where he has a brother.
Another brother is a conductor on tbe
Missouri Pacific road.
