The Climbing: Boy's Soliloquy.
PY JAHES MONTGOMERY.
Who loves the climbing boy? who cares
If well or ill I be?
Is there a living soul that shares
A thought or wish with me? -
I've had no parents since my birth.
Brothers and sisters none:
Ah 1 what to me is all this earth.
Where I am only one?
I wake and see the morning shine,
And all around me gay; .
But nothing lb hold is mine.
No, not the lightol'day:
No! not (he very breath I draw;
These limbs are not try own ;
A master calls me his by law :
My griefs are mine alone:
Ah ! these they could not make him feel
Would they themselves had felt!
Who bound me to that man of steel,
Whom mercy cannot welt.
Yet not for wealth or ease I sigh,
All are not rich and great;
Many may be as poor as I,
But none so desolate.
For all I know have kin and kind.
Some home, some hope, some joy;
But these 1 must net look to And
Who knows the climbing-boy?
The world has not a place of rest
For outcast so forlorn;
Twas all bespoken, all poSacst,
Lcng before I was boru.
Affection, too, life's sweetest cup.
Goes round from hand to hand ;
But I am never ask'd to sup
. Out ol the ring I stand.
If kindness beats within my heart,
What heart will beat again?
I coax the dogs, they snarl and start;
Brutes are as bad as men.
The beggar's child may rise above .
The nii-ery of his lot;
The gipsy may be loved, and love;
But 1 but 1 must not.
Hard fare, cold lodgings, cruel toil,
Y'outh, health, a d strength, consume;
What tree could thrive in such a soil?
What llower so scathed could bloom?
Should I outgrow this crippling work,
How shall my bread be sought?
Must I to other lads turn Turk.
And teach what I am taught?
O, might I roam with flocks and herds
lu fellow-hip alongl
O, were I one among the birds,
All wing, aud life and song!
Free with the fishes might I dwell,
Down in the quiet seal
The snail in his cob-casile shell
The snail's a king to me !
For out he glides in April showers,
Lies snug when storms prevail;
He feeds on fruit, he sleeps on flowers
I wish I was a snail.
No, never; do the worst they can,
1 may be happy still ;
For I was porn to be a man,
And if I live I will.
Graves of Humboldt and Mean
der. Eight miles from Berlin is Tegel, a
quiet place in the forest, with only a
modern castle and its appendages. From
the castle, by a windiug footpath, at first
through an over-arching jungle of li
lacs, and then through native wood
lands, one is led a long distance, until
he is unexpectedly brought to a little
dell, with an iuclosure of grave covered
with ivy, One of the sleepers in this
quiet place is Frederick Henry Alexan
der Von Humboldt, who was born in
17G9, and died at the age of ninety years.
At the head of the inclosure is a neat
monument of red granite, surmounted
by a beautiful figure ot "Hope" in white
marble. Long arms of oak, reaching
out horizontally toward the sleeper,
some of them more than fifty feet long,
and evergreen with the moss of many
years, give to the secluded spot a vener
able surrounding. The April breeze
whispering through the boughs of spruce
aud cedar, told the visitor to speak low
and walk softly, and my feelings were
in a good mood readily to hear and heed
the gentle monitor.
In one of the church cemeteries, not
half a mile from my lodgings in Berlin,
inareti.ed corner, are the remains of
Augustus Neander, the eminent church
historian. A plain head stone has
sculptured on it a side-view of his at
tractive face. Under the work of the
sculptor is this inscription: "A sister
to an unforgotten brother."
Prof. Tholuck, speaking tome yester"
day of his lovely traits and great excel
lence, said : "If it were the custom- to
have saints, Neander would surely be
canonized."
I love often to step in, and take a fresh
look at the serene face of Neander.
Not old, but ripe, he died at sixty-one;
and evidently .worthy of the laurel in
his department of life's work. The Ad
vance.
Immortality of the Beautiful.
There is nothing no nothing beau
tiful and good that dies and is forgot
ten. An infanta prattling child, dying
in its cradle, will live again in the bet
ter thoughts of those who loved it, and
play its part, though its body be burn
ed to ashes or downed in the deepest
sea. There is not an angel added to
the hosts of heaven but does its blessed
work on earth in those who lovetl it
here. Dead ! Oh, if the good deeds of
human creatures could be traced to their
source, how ben u til ul would even death
appear ! for how much charity, merc3'
and puritied affection wouhi be seen to
have their growth in dusty graves.
Dickens
, Singing. Singing is a great "institu
tion." It oils the wheels of care, sup
plies the place of sunshine. A man who
sings has a good heart under his shirt
front. Such a man not only works more
willingly, but he works more constant
ly. A singing cobbler will earn as
much money again as one who gives
way to low spirits and indigestion
Avaricious men never sing. The man
who attacks singing throws a stone at
th head of hilarity, and would, if he
could, rob June of its roses and August
of its meadow larks. . Singing promotes
health, strengthen the voice, the organs
'of the throat and lungs, and prevents of
cures consumption;'-' Singing is an ex
ceflent agent for promoting mental

A Russian Weddingr Feast.
A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, who has been trav
eling through the rural districts of
Russia, writes : u
I had the good fortune to atteiid
a wedding feast of a peasant. The
marriage had been performed on
the Sundaj', but the great celebra
tion had for some reason, been de
ferred till the feast of our Lady
Kazau, which wa3 on Tuesday. I
was taking a walkthrough the large
village, when I heard, in one of the
houses, loud laughing and talking,
and all indications of a jolly time.
As I passed, ; some children came
out to look at me, and asked me to
come in, as his daughter had been
married. I was very glad to accept
the invitation, and found, the hut
full of men, women and children ;
many diunk and all noisy. The
girls were all in holiday dresss, with
their variegated stuff petticoats, and
their necklaces of glass beads of
dinerent colors. The men were
in long caftans of gray woolen cloth.
The bride was About eighteen, and
rather prettj', and her husband
nineteen. , During serfdom tlie peas
ants were habituated to marry at
the earliest possible age the boys
usually at fourteen to girls several
years older. Of course I was oblig
ed to drink a glass of brandy to the
health of the young couple, and, of
course, having learned the custom
that morning, I said rjorleo, or bit
ter, on which the bride and groom
kissed in a very maudlin, manner,
in order to make the brandy and
their life sweeter. Fortunately the
glass was small, as the brandy was
strong, and the peasants were not
content until I had finished it. I
was then presented with a salver
containing candies and towels, the
ends of which were embroidered
with a curious lace made by the
peasants. In return to this gift I
had to give a rouble. This is the
way in which the ' young couple
manage to get together a little to
begin life with. Whenever a wed
ding takes place, the wedded pair
always present themselves at their
master's or emploj-er's house with
soma wine or brandy, and a supply
of handkerchiefs or towels, in order
to be congratulated. If there is a
large party at the house they will
receive a nice little sum. I had no
special desire to taste any of the
food, the remnants of which stood
on the table in large wooden bowl3 ;
with about a dozen wooden spoons
in each bowl. I amused myself
with looking and listening' till my
hosts became too demonstrative!'
affectionate, when I was glad to
withdraw. r
A Farmer Mistakes His Wife for
a Burglar and Shoots Her.
On Saturday night last a farmer
named James Moore, residing on
the Western road, six miles below
this city, accidentally shot his wife,
inflicting a very severe wound. Mr.
Moore is a very well-to-do farmer,
and at times has had considerable
money at his house. This fact was
generally known, and on several
occasions attempts were made by
burglars to enter the premises. The
attempts were all frustrated, and
Mr. Moore was generally . on his
guard, and prepared to receive un
seasonable visitors.
On Saturday night, about 11
o'clock, while a heavy storm was
raging. Mr. Moore heard somebody
at the front door. He left his bed,
armed with a revolver and started
for the main hall. As he reached
it, he heard the intruders leaving
the premises, and at onee started
back to his bedroom. In the mean
time his wife had left the bed and
was standing at the window looking
out for the thieves. Her husband
supposed that she was still in bed,
and seeing a human form at the
window, concluded at once that it
was a burglar about to ' enter the
window, and, without challenging,
drew his revolver and fired. A
scream from his wife soon brought
him the knowledge that he had shot
her.
The revolver was a largo "navy"
and carried a heavy ball. The ball
struck the woman on the right
shoulder and lodged in the body.
A messenger was at once sent and
D. Heddens, of this cit3 was soon
oh hand. He dressed the wound
and did all in his power to ease the
pain consequent thereupon. The
wound is a very dangerous one, but
the attendant physician is satisfied
that the lady will recover. Mr.
Moore is nigh frantic with grief at
bis sad mistake. St. Joseph (Mo.)

' The decline in the price of wool
and the prevalence of foot-rot
among sheep has caused something
of panic among wool growers in this
and other States. Farmers are re
ducing their stock rapidly, slaugh
tering the sheep and selling the pelts
and meat, A writer in the Ohio
Farmer estimates that within two
months past as many as forty thous
and sheep have been slaughtered in
Knox County alone, and that a
proportionate reductiou has taken
place in the counties of. Licking,
Morrow and Richland. y
If this policy has been generally
adopted in wool-growing
districts, the yield of wool the com
ing year will be greatly diminished,
and a reaction in prices must inev
itably follow.- The farmers who
hold oyer their ftocks will realize.the
benefit in a return to profitable
rates of production. . It ma-require
a little more nerve to do so, but
those who have it, will come out
with a handsome net result to show
for it. Cin. Com. .
Ifanyonewas ever dragged by
the hair of the head, he can guess
how pleasant it is to a sheep to be
hauled about by the wool.
Af Terrible Story of Murder,
Kobbery and Outrag'e. '
St. Louis, December 14. The
Kansas City Times gives an account
of a horrible affair which recently
occurred in Jasper county. Missouri,
in substance as follows : Mr. Turner
of Cloy county, Mo'., purchased a
lot'of cattle some months aso of
Colonel J. C. McCoy of Dallas, Tex-1
as, the cattle to be paid for at a
point called Baxton's Springs. Colo
nel McCoy sent his nephew, quite a
young man, with the cattle to re
ceive his portion of the money, about
$1,500, aud the other parties also
sent agents. After receiving pay
for the cattle young McCoy, a man
named Joseph, and three others of
the party, startd back to Texas, and
while encamped at Bnckhar's prairie,
Jasper county, were fired upon by
five men, and two of the party killed
and one mortally wouded. McCoy
and one other man escaped, and went
to a farmhouse near by. 1 Soon af
ter arriving there' the men who had
done the shooting, accompanied by
three others, appeared and demand-J
-ed McCoy s money, which was given
up, and they then placed him and
his comrad in a school house and
kept them guarded until the night
of the second day after, when they
were taken out by the parly, now in
creased to fifteen or twenty men, for
the ostensible purpose of burying
the dead, bnt after proceeding some
distance they robbed McCoy's com
panion of sixty-five dollars and then
began firing at him. He broke away,
however, and escaped. They shot
McCoy in several places and left
him for dead. He was not killed,
however, and was found the next
morning and taken to the honse of
a settler and cared fot, but there is
little hope; of his recovery. The
parties engaged in this atrocious
affair are said to be well known resi
dents of the immediate vicinity. It
is also stated, but the report is doubt
ed, that the murdereas, failing to
dispatch the witnesses of their first
assassination, deposited the money
taken from McCoy with , the post
master at Baxton's Springs. It is
further stated that when a party went
to bury the three murdered men
they fonnd considerable money up
on their peoon and got into a row
about a division of the spoils, but
it was finally setued by giving the
doctor who had attended McCoy
the lion's share.

Chased by the Wolves.
BY AMAKDA 31- DOUGLAS.
It was a race for life. Following
hard upon the fleet skater were a
troop of wolvc3 as fleet. Charley
Vance heard their breathing, the
short impatient sniffs, the regular
patter of sharp feet upon the ice like
a click. The moon sailed through
the drifting clouds, now partially
obscured, then bursting forth in a
flood of silvery light. -At one side
the dense pine forest,, broken,. by
clumps of leafless oak or hickory,
and winding in and out as it follow
ed the course of the river, on the
other the wide snow covered plain.
Miles yet before a house would be
reached, and in that time '
Brave as he was, Charley Vance
shuddered. "At twenty eight there

Then he had reached a point where
fortune began to smile upon him.
For the past six months his leisure
hours had been bright with glowing
air-castles. Visions of the future,
made more enticing by that lovely,
fair-haired Rose. ? For her sake he
had i ndertaken this perilous jour
ney. Faster ! faster ! , This turn show -ed
him the fierce gleaming eyes,
that repeated themselves until their
seemed hundreds. . Rays of lurid
light flashed out,' lolling scarlet
tongnesthat thirsted for for a draught
of blood, and a dainty morsel of
flesh. A misstep,' a half hidden
hummock of ice to trip the unwary
traveller, a moment lost, and he
would be in the power of these ra
venous beasts. No wonder his pul
ses quivered, and lie shrank from so
horrible a fate. "
More than once he had gone up
and down the river for pleasure.
More than once there had been a gay
party, girls in their pretty skating
costumes : but sweetest of all was
Rose, her golden curls blown about
bj the wind, her cheeks brilliant,her
purple eyes dilating with enjoyment.

midsummer she was to become his
wife. He had extorted that promise
from her, though he would fain
have taken her long before. And
yet, only the other morning they
had fallen into a triflins dispute about
this very visit.
" 1 hursday is pay-day," he had
said. "I never get through until
dark with all those men, and Blake
means to drive over to Windsor to
spend the night. Firefly is lame.so.
f I come I must find my own con
veyance.
iou and Mr. Blake thought
skating up the river mere pastime."
Rose Arvedson's tone was a trifle
sharp and haughty.
"In the day time, and with com
pany, that makes a difference."
"Oh, very well, if you care so lit
tle ;" and she turned away with an
air of superb indifference."
"Rose it isn't that. I can come
up Friday, and stay until Monday."
"And 1 hursday night is Nellie s
birth night. I thought of the pleas
ure to her to have you among her
guests. It is only a small party, but
we may-be able to amuse ourselves.
Don't put yourself out in the slight
est."
Charley Vance was not a man
likely to be canonized ' for either
meekness or patience. : Now he did
feel a little vexed.
"I'll "come if I can." His tons
was cold, and his eyes wandered over
the waste of snow.
Very well. Good bye :" and
kissing the tips of her dainty fingers
she vanished like a spirit.
He strode down the path, unhitch
ed his horse with a jerk, and made
her spin over the road, never once
glancing back. Perverse Rose was
watchiug, hidden from his sight, it
was true, but her queenship felt the
slight keenly. ' :
"An angelic temper!' and she
curled her red lips disdainfully.
And not being in a very serene
frame of mind, he half declared be
would not go ; bnt before the event
ful Thursday night lie found himself
ardently desiring to see Rose. It
was quite late when he was through
but as the night promised to be fine,
here3olved to trust to his own pow
ers. .' - .
- "Hope there'll ' be - no wolves
abroad, Master Vance," said the
brawny Englishman, Hugh, one of
his warm admirers. "Stainsly shot
one over, by the bridge, the other
morning. You better take a pistol."
"I'll trust to luck aud my good
legs," he answered, laughiugly.
Half his journey had been accom
plished, when he heard a shrill.sharp
cry echoing from the woods. Then
another, as it in answar, and one at
a distance. For a moment his blood
curdled in his veins. Where were
they? ;.
Nearer. came the cry, as if they
scented their victim. - He glided ov
er the ice like lightning, his strides
quickened" by the first click he heard
from h'13 pursuers. On first, as rap
i lly as possible, in a straight line,for
not a second was to be lost. Every
nerve and limb was strained to its
utmost tension. A mile, perhaps,
nd there were two remaining. A
liorrible flash of despair almost par
ti vzed him. That was "certain death.
Why had he been so heedless as to
lisregard Hugh's warning ? But he
!iad never seen a wolf during his so
journ in these Canadian wilds.
Faster, faster ! Turns that nearly
doubled his journey, but gave him a
moment's respite, for his pursuers
were by this means thrown off their
track, and were sometime in recov
ering their speed. Now the moon
shone out brightly. Every tree seem
ed outlined against the sky with pain
ful distinctness ; here a gnarled old
oak, that had been riven with some
fierce bolt ; there a clump of gleam
ing evergreens, that mocked him in
their security. - And now the river
widened. . Hardly a week before, he
and Rose' ba.l enjoyed a gay frolic
on this very spot. Over yonder was
a great, rambling, low-roofed farm
house, aud Rose, with her 'cousins
and friends, was enjoying herself to
the utmost- Was she still vexed
with him ? Or, if she could but
know! ' - ' 1
