THE SILVER THAW.
There came a day of showers
Upon the shrinlflng snow;
The south wind sighed of flowers,
i he softening skies buug low.
Midwinter for a space
Forsbadowing April's face,
The white world caught the fancy
And would not let it go.
In rea?vakened courses
The brooks rejoiced the land;
Ws dreamel tbs spring's shy forces
Were gathering close nt hand.
The dripping buds avuro Starred
As if tbc sap had heard.
The long desired persuasion
Of April's ?ofl e eiirnand.
Cut antic Time had cheated
With hope's elusive gleam;
The phantom spring dsfeate 1
Fled down the ways of drea a.
And in the night the rs|g i
Of winter (Mine Ogata,
With frost upjn the fur s
And stittrisss on the stream.
When mora in ross and erj
Came up the bittet sky,
Cekstial toaras awoke us
To wondering ecstasy.
The w.z ird winter's spell
Had wrought so passing well

To bid the buds forgot

PIERCE growl
came from the
bushes as a man
came riding
along the nar?
row path tin:
let! into the
cetiar brake.
The mail did
nut stein to
hear the sound,but the aniinillic was lid?
ias did, and shied to one side. .^
The rider jerked the horse savagely by
the reins', and swore at him roundly.
Just then the hoof-beats of mother horse
were bean] coining up the path iu the
opposite direction. The first rider sprang
from his horse to the ground, and led
him in among the dense undergrowth of
vims and palnuttoes bordering the path
on either tide.
Another growl came from the bushes
across the path, and this time the man
evidently beard it, for he looked around
apiirohe'.isiv.'y, and placed his hand on
the pistol, the handle of which protruded
in front of him.
Across the path from when tue nan
and horse were hiding, a girl and a dog
crouched under a clump of paltnettoes.
-irl was young, fifteen perhaps;
dark-skinned, dark-haired, and with eyes
large uud rouud, and blacker thau mid?
night, peering eagerly through the gloom.
Her feet wen bare, as ?vas abo her head,
but a sunbounet was in the hand she held
apon the Lead of the large hound at her
sitie.
The sun had set, and the gloarn was
growing deeper and deeper every ?no
itent. The wind 8?ghe3among the tops
of the trees, and the grey moss hanging
from the branches overhead swayed with
a gentle motion. Occasionally the wind
touched the top of the tall palmcttocs,
and their sword-like leaves rattled with
a hissing sound. An owl in the distance
bailed the coming of night with a loud
hoot.
Every moment th i shadows deepened
in the break. Tiic Eceon 1 rider came
clattering down the path, but from some
cause he drew rein and made his hone
walk when he came opposite where the
first rider was hidden, an 1 where the
girl ami dog were crouching in the pal
metti
"It's pap," muttered the girl, restrain?
ing the hound with a gentle caress from
leaping forward.
The man had almost parsed, when the
f r^t rider carne out from the bushes into
the path, ami accosted him in a cautious
voice :
"Hello, lira Mon 1"
The man tu-nel around in tie saddle
quickly, but quick an the movement had
been, ? six shooter realy for use was in
in hii hand.
"l'ut up your iron, Braddou. Its
only me, Tom Licker."
'?Why didn't you say so then? Half
the fellows mound ben would have
plaggad you full of load for acting like
that in a place like this."
"Pshaw?"
"Well, you take a fool's advice and
don't da it to ) often,'!growled Braddon.
Then he added, "Which way are you
going?"
"Was going down your way, but when
I l.eard you a coming, I just steppe 1 to
one side to set-ho .v \ou looked, 'fore I
spoke.*1
"No, you didn't, Tom; thought it
?w Joe Broiison, and you was afraid to
meet him,'' with a sneer.
'??Veil, ::iay'oe 3o, and maybe not. It
Was Joe Brousou. anyway, that I want?*.!
to speak to you about,- and for your c
good, too."
"What's he done?"
"Heaps. He been fooliug ro'
Liz, and he's afrid you'll find it out;
yesterday when he went to the burgh,
had a ooofab with the committee, an
recken they arc coming to pay yo
visit."
"You're a liar, Tom Lickers."
"I don't generally takj that fr
everybody, but I'll let it pass by
once. I say they are coming to pay ]
B visir, ami coining this very night.
Bay, too, that Joe put them on to yoi
"Hut about Liz?"
'?Ask her," was the surly reply.
"Tom Lickers, you're a sneak am
coward, and I've just found it ou
cried Braddon. "Liz didu't waut yc
and now I don't blame her. But if j
ever dure to whisper a word against hi
and I lind It out, that will be the dci
of you. As for Joe and the vigilauts,
reckon I can take care of them. I uc\
want to speak to you again."
Braddon turned his horse around
the path and rode back the way be h
come.
Lickers locked after the rctreati
man, and a well-satisfied smile play
around his lips.
"I reckon that'll settle both of them
be muttered. "Joe Hronsoa will g
killed or have to skip, and the vigilan
will gobble Braddon, or I'll know tl
reason why. That'll leave Liz to me.''
"You reckon?"
The words came unexpectedly, at
made Lickeis spring to oue side. Ther
across the path, with her hand boldio
(irmly to the loose hide of the houu<
stood Lia Biaddon facing him.
"Veil reckon?" ehe repeated.
"Reckon what, Litt"
"That I'll ever be left for you to ta1
care of."
"How? What do you mem, Liz?"
"By setting Joe and pap a-tightim.
and then getting pap into trouble wit
the vigilants."
"I haven't done anything, Liz, oxec]
to warn your daddy to keep olear."
"And you didn't ?it- to him!"
"What do you mean.'-'
"I'll tell you, Tom Lickers. In th
lirst place, Joe and me are going to ge
married to-night. Pup told Joe to wait
but .Joe wouldn't, and so he went am
got the papers anyway yesterday; and i
the vigilants are a-comiag, you go
them to come. Then again, pap did-i*
kill that man in the bottom. It was yoi
that done it, Tom Lickers, and yoi
kuow it; but you got pap to shoot inte
the cabin, aud when the man didn'l
holler, you made him believe that he hat
killed him, and that the best way to ge
rid of the whole thing was to set fire t'
the shanty and burn it to the ground."
" How do you know :"
" There was one saw you kill him be
fore pap came, and he will swear to it."
Lickers jumped on his horse, and whet
he was iu the saddle he drew his pistol,
levelled it quickly at the head of the
hound, and fired. The dog made on<
frantic leap forward and then fell tc
the ground. The nest moment Lick?
ers leaned over in the saddle, and
clasping Liz around the waist with ont
arm, while he placed his hand over het
mouth, he lifted her bodily into the sad?
dle in front of him. Then giving hi
horse a touch with the spurs he dashed
away up the path.
The hoof-beats of Lickcr&'s horse had
hardly died away, however, bet?re Liz's
dog with a growl staggered to his feet.
He seemed to be dazed for a few mo?
ments, but presently, with his nose to the
ground, he followed in the path in the
direction in which Lickers had gone.
e a ? a a e
It was nearly midnight. The stars
glimmered above a rude cabin in the
cedar brake. A man, with rifle in hand,
sat iu the half-open door. It was Brad?
don ou guard for his life. The silence
was intense. The frogs had ceased their
music, aud the wiud had gone to sleep in
the tree tops. Braddon, in the quiet of
the hour, was reviewing his past life. He
had not always been an outlaw. The
time had been when he had a happy
ho r.e, was surrounded by friends who
loved and respected him, and life was
full of hope and promise. But brave,
generous and impulsive, he had fallen
under the influence of evil companions,
and his ruin ha?l been accomplished by
slow degreCB. Never before had he fully
realized the cause of all his troubles, but
to-night he could trace every error of
his life to the influence Tom Lickers had
gottoa over him. He cursed himself for
his blindness. Jits fate now seemed to
be to fight for his life, or yield it at the
end of a rope. If it were not for Liz,he
would gladly submit, or If ?he were
with him to-night, they would mount
their horses and flee to some placo where
the past would be behind them, and be?
gin life anew.
Swift footstep startled him out of his
reverie. He peered out into tho darkness
under the trees In front of the cabin,and
saw a shadowy figure approaching. The
comer, whoever he might be, wai not
approaching stealthily, bu* came with
long, swift strides, without pauso or
hesitation. When within a few pace3 of
the cabin, Braddon accosted him.
"Who is there?"
"It's rae?Joe Bronson," was the re?
ply.
Bronsou advanced without foar. Brad
don set his gun to one side, and opcuei
the door wide.
"Is Liz at home?" \va; Joe's Hr-t qua
tion.
"No, she went over to spend tbo nigh
with the Slayton girli; left boa
sundown.'.
"She isn't there; she never got there,'
cried Joe excitedly. "I'll own np not
that I intended to steal her from you to?
night. She was to meet me at Blayl
and then we were to ride over to t'.i"
parson on the Creek and get married.
have the papers and everything ready.1
The threatened visit from the vigilants
was lorgotten. Braddon reasoned
quickly, aud a minute's time was suiii
cicnt for him to make up his mind as t.
what bad become of his daughter.
"Come, we'll find her," be crted il
harsh tones.
Braddon led the iraj through the dark?
ness, Joe followed close behind. Straight
a* the bird dies, over fallen IrMS, and
through dense clump* of palmetto-.-,
never pausing or exchanging b word.
At last they came to a bouso on the
?if the prairie. The moon had risen
nearly to the top of the tr.
shadows were yet long, and strctchc 1 far
out from the timber-line, so that the
house and tLogiound around it were in
comparative darkneas. The two men
had almost reached the do ?r of the lions.-,
when Braddon stopped suddenly and
looked down before bim.
There a man was lying cold and still
ia death. A hound was crouched upon
his breast, with fang* buried deep, and
jaws locked closely aroua I tb
in.ui's throat. The blade of a knife ha I
l e a plunged in!
and be also was dead. The dead man
was Tom Lickers, an 1 the h ?un I ???
oui' which hid belonged to Liz.
Just then b crowd ol
up and baited, and tbo leader said,
"Nick Braddon, go to your borne, you
will find your daughter there, safe. Por
her sake mend your ways an 1 become a
good man, Bh ? bai saved y iur 1
night." Braddsn, without a word, left
the place, and Bronson folio we 1 him.
When morning dawned, thi
had been Tom Licki rs's h

?E. W. Bole, in Epoch.
Evarts ami the Editor.
The editor of one of the New York
magazines not long ago wrote to the
Hon. William M. Bvarta, asking whether
the famous lawyer aud statesman would
not contribute something from his pen to
his periodical.
Not many days thereafter, Mr. Bvarts
had some friends at dinner and a tempt?

from one of the pigs raised on the great
lawyer's own farm in Vermont.
As the statesman was carving tiie pro?

Artificial Coffee Berries.
Artificial coffee berries have been im?
ported into this country during the last
twelve months. They consisted of a
paste made from dried roots and pressai
into moulds. The green coffee berry is
often polished by shaking it up with
soapstonc, silesian blue and other paints..
The roasted and ground berry is mixed
with dandelion rojts, roasted acorns,
turnips, malt, marigold roofs, peas,
beans, burnt bread and chiccory. Yellow
ochre and Venetian red are used for
coloring it. With the exception of the
Venetian red, which is a rsuk metallic
poison, the other ingredients are not
deleterious.?New York Journal.

The Grace of Accepting.
We hear a great deal about a gracious,
wise and notable way of giving, but
?acople rarely speak of ways of a
ing, he it gift or favor. And yet here
al>o wisdom, affability and generosity,
or their opposite qualities, may be very
conspicuously displayed. If but few of
those who have a liberal apiri
dowered with that "talent" for giving
which cheers the recipient like a sun
beam, there are -still ie^er who under*
stand how to accept with graei an 1
dignity. Where great sacrificiel aro
offered the person fur whom they aro
mil.- is so overwhelmed by gratitude
that all ceremony vanishes, and the ex?
pression of thank?] pours unstralns 1 from
the heart, iiul in the th'iusauds of little
everyday favors oaocinnot help noticing
how few persons possess the facilty of
acccptiug graciously. S ? at this Urn ? of
general interchange of gifts, the majority
trivial, but all, let m hope,
the genuine vahe- of b?dug the expression
of kindly feeling, perhaps a little lectora
on the art of BOOOptanCS ?nay be timely.
Which of us cannot recall so ne i
??on in the past when tie-< irt r?futai of
Fouie trilling gift or favor, WatII.bl
was prompt* 1 by ? ie kin lliest imp i
has cut deep and lingered iu the nn-ii iry
for many a day, though, doabtleas, the
blunt rejection wxs due merely to bru-ipi- -
?MSB of manner, with no thought of
inflicting pain?
Kven when no hurt is felt, how stiff
and wooded, how awkward the nujority
of ?acople are in accepting any little at?
tention or present. Kith'-r they pour
forth a torreut of thanks so utterly dis
proportioned to the matter in ?pi i
that the giver is uncomfortably emba
rassed,or they receive it with a display of
the most formal courtesy.?Washington
