THE PRINTER'S HOHENLINDEN,

In seasons when our funds are low,

Subscribers are provoking slow,

A few supplies keep up the flow
Of dimes departing rapidly,

But we shall see a sadder sight,
When duns pour in from morn till night,
Commanding every sixpence bright

To be forked over speedily.

Our bonds and due bills are arrayed,

Each seal and signature displayed ;

The owners vow they must be paid,
With threats of law and chancery:

Then to despair we're almost driven,

There's precious little use of livin’

When our last copper’s rudely riven
From hands that held it lovingly.

But larger yet those duns shall grow,

When interest’s added on below,

Length’ ning our chin a foot or so,
When gazing at them hopelessly.

"Lis so, that scarce have we begun

‘To plead for tine upon a dun,

Before there comes another one,
Demanding pay ferociously.

The prospect durkens—on, ye brave!

Who would our very bacon save ;

Waive, putrons, all your pretexts wai
And piy the printer cheerfully

ve,

Ah! it wonld yield us pleasure sweet,
A few delinquents now to meet,
Asking of as a clear receipt

For papers taken reg’ larly,

Shot through the Heart.

“Where is Ardent?”

** What is the matter, mother?”
“Stephen, her father is dead.”
Stephen Allen rose hastily and took the
open Jetter from his mother's hands.
While he was reading the door opened
and a girl entered the room. No human
being was ever handsomer, I have seen
people stand transfixed before Ardent Al-
liston, seeming unable to believe their

eyes. She was perfectly beautiful, utterly
graceful, And as she crossed the room,

her wine-colored dress trailing benind her,
the two watched her with a dumb pity,
She went to the window, and stood there,
lightly tapping on the pane with her white
fingers. Mother and son exchanged glan-
ces of pain,

“LIus the mail carrier come, Stephen?
It's time I had a letter from papa.”

As the girl spoke, she whirled lightly,
and dropped down upon an ottoman at
Stephen Allen's feet. He had erushed the
letter in his hand, but her quick glanee
detected it,

«Stephie, Stephie, that’s a love-letter, I
know. Let me see it—let me see it! Tam
just in the humor for reading a love-letter,
Ive thought you was in love, this long
time.”

She was trying to wrest the letter from
his hand, when he clasped both her slender
wrists, dropping the sheet.

+ Ardeat. you shall read it, but it is not
a love-letter.”

‘The merriment died out of her beautiful
face at his tone.

“Is it my letter, Stephie?”

* It concerns you, Ardent.”

The color began to die out of her lovely
cheek.

“*Stephie, what do you me: n?”

*IU’s not a letter of good tidings dear,”
he said, gently; and then, seeing that she
was somewhat preparee, gave her the
sheet. :

She grasped it with a trembling hand and
read, IIe saw the swiltly blanching cheek,
the dilating eyes, the terror and fear com-
ing out in tense lines in the delicate face,
and his own face was almost agonized.
She rose, at last—was going mutely
from the room, but her sight failed; she
staggered, and would haye fallen to the
floor, but that he sprang and caught ber in
his arms,

‘Father, father!” she sobbed, writhing
upon his breast.

Through all her grief he tended her as
if she were a stricken child, and it was
weeks before she rallied from the first
dreadful shock of her life. The others
missed her bloom and brightness about
the house; he thought only of the girl's
aching heart, and forgot himself utterly—
forgot that, with his more than human
compassion, that he was only human, and
that he was laying up tor himself immep-
surable pain, All his tenderness and car
failed iv do what one litle fewapaper
paragraph did in a moment, bring the
color to her cheek, arrest the flow of her
texrs. He picked the paper up after she
had gone, and re-read what he had seen
her read with absorbing interest, ' Arrived
in the baryue Woldvon, Junius Lemoine,
ete.”

lie remembered the man, recollected his
beauty and giace, his gilt to Ardent ot
flowers and rare foreign relies. He had
been absent a year in Europe. Stephen
had wondered sometimes it she wrote to
him. Once, when he saw a letter which
was mailed London, he turned tick and
faint with the certainty; but then this grief
came and he forgot everything but her,
that she suffered, And now when he saw
the girl forget the sorrow he had toiled so
earnestly to assuage at the mere sight of
that man’s name,an unspeakable bitterness
rose in his heart,

If she marries him, I think it will kill
me,” he said, walking the floor,

** 1 should have been more cautious,” he
broke out again. ‘I have been a fool, to
forget myself so utterly for her, But, then,
I could not resist her desolate moans, her
fright at her orphanage, her little clinging
hands and trusting embrace. L did not
realize how sweet [ found it to attend her ;
that all the tine a hope was growing in my
heart. Now—now—”

He struck his clenched hand against his
brow.

Just then the bell rang, and a boy de-
livered a note from one of the hotels. Ile
called Ardent down, that he might deliver
it into her own hand, A little startled
blush came to her pale chee , her lids fell
before his inquiring guzv,

“Tt is from Mr. Lemoine,” she said,
quietly. ‘I saw his name in the list of
arrivals this morning.”

She smiled and blushed again, not even
seeing his pallor, as she turned away, Ie
was certain now that she loved him. There
was nothing now for him to do but to keep
his pain out of sight.

He worked busily, but he could not help
thinking, Ardent was an orphan now;
She had no longer a father to preyide for
uer, and it was probable she would soon
go to the home she loved, Lemoine was
of respectuble connections; weaitny, it
wassaid. Mrs. Allen inquired about these
things anxiously, and reported to Stephen,
who heard silently. She had taken a
mother’s interest in the motherless girl,
and was anxious respe:ting her welfare,

And Ardent—she was lost in a rose-
colored dream, She was eighteen, impul-
sive, imaginative, and Lemoine was won-
derfully attractive, It was plain to others
besides Stephen, to see that she was happy
with him, as with no one else—that her
very heart was bound up in him. Iteame
to light that they had been close corres-
pondents during the year of absence,

Love is keen-sighted, and it was no or-
(inary affection that Stephen Allen bore
this girl, If he hud believed Junius Le-
moine to be an honest and virtuous man,
he would have kept his secret and made no
sign of his loss; for, as I have said, he
loved her; her happiness was dearer than
his, But he looked at Lemoine through
no rose-colored mist of youth and romance
At the onset, he knew the man to be given
to indulgences which argued no good toa
devoted woman. And so, one day, when
Ardent came sweeping into the parlor in
a new dress of snowy éulle, turning around
in merry exhibition, and then laughing in
his face, with her white hands on his shoul-
ders, he clasped her suddenly, and said:
**O Ardent, Ardent, how IL love you!”
She shrank « little, the color dying from
her smiling lips. It she had suspected
Stephen’s love, she expected no revelation
of itnow. But he could not restrain him-
seltin this unlooked for moment of tempta-
tion, when the fiyst words of confession
had leaped from his lips, She tried to dis-
engage herselt gently, but he held her
close.

‘I did not mean to tell you, Ardent—I
cannot tell you; God only knows my heart.
Will you leave me ?”

She tried to speak, trembling very much,
At last she faltered, ** Stephen, don’t talk
so. You know—”

**I know you mean to marry Lemoine.
Ardent, L would work for you to my dying
day, aud never toueh your hand, mean-
while, rather than see you that man’s
wite.”

** What do you mean ?”

Her color came back, and she looked up
into his face with a cold surprise.

‘IT should talk idly to you it I tried to
point out his faults. You love him.”

* Yes, I love him!” she cried, her beau-
titul cheeks aflame. ‘* Ido not claim that
he is perfect. He has been wild, they say ;
perhaps it is true; but if there is any
strength in a womun’s devotion, he will
hencctorth have a safeguard. 1 can live
for him, die for him! You need say no
more to me of his faults, Stephen,”

«{ will say no more,” he answered,
sadly.

In a week they were married and went
South; the o/d Scuth, prosperous to the
owners of men, vieh and beautiful, with
their toil, to gladden the eyes of the enthu-
siastic young bride,

And now that her loss was a dead cer-
tainty to Stephen Allen, he went his way
bravely. He had loved too purely to
make anything but duty a substitute for his
love; but he was changed, even to the
most indifferent eye. Men said that he
bad grown cold, Well, endurance dead-
ens the impulses, Ile was never called
cold by his mother, or by any suffering
being that came in his way,

During the first twelvemonth of her
miarriage, there had come several letters
from Ardent, innocent, happy, yet earnest
letters, assuring Mrs, Allen of her happi-
ness.

«Junius was not rich, after all,” she
wrote, ‘but they lad everything she want-
ed. ‘To be sure, she was a little lonely
sometiines, Junius was away so much, but
that could not be helped."

Stephen never touched these letters.
His mother, suspecting nothing, gaye her
reports and made her comments with no
demonstration from him, She never
dreamed that her grave, manly elder son
had more than a brotherly interest in the
beautilul, absent girl.

Make Home Happy.

To mako your home happy, see that
you make your wife feel that your affee-
tions and tenderness for her are in no de-
gree diminished from the day when you
first sought her. Do notlether have, when
you can help it, to sit alone and go out
alone. You would not haye done so
once upon atime. Do not reserve all
your blandness and fragrance for strang-
ers and casual acquaintances. ‘There are
some men judging from whose out of door
Manners it would seem that nothing was
left to be desired, who are, nevertheless,
of the ursa-major tribe at home; men
who keep their pleasant ways and genial
smiles and cheerful works for company,
and who can only be silent, or peevish
and exacting with their wives. Have
such men any reason to complain that
their homes aae not happy? ‘There is a.
good deal of undeserved censure passed:
on wome. on account of their not making
home more attractive. Much of this
blame is chargeable tomen. With whas
heart can a woman strive to make a fire+
side cheerful, when she knows from bitter
experience that the companion of her life
will come home to criticise her cookery,
to disregard her personal appearance, and
to let off her wounded but patient ear
fretful language on account of everything
that hus gone wrong out of doors! See
to it that you do your part to make home
happy by cheerlul encouragement to your
wile,

A Pithy Sermon to Young Men.

You are the architects of your own for-
tunes. Rely upon your own str ngth of
body and soul. ‘Take for your motto,

Husbavd Visited in Dreams by his
Dead wife.-—Vrom the Monongahela
(Penn.) Lepublican we copy the following :
—‘ Not very long ago the young and
beautiful wile of one of our citizens was
called to her final acconnt, leaving her
husband sad, disconsolate and berett. She
was buried in the adjacent cemetery, and
the husband returned to his desolate home,
but not to forget hisloyed one, She was
present with him by day, in spirit. and in
his dreams by night, One peculiarity of
his dreams, and one that haunted him—
being repeated night after night—was
this: that the spirit of his wile came to
his bedside aad told him that the under-
taker had not removed from her face the
square piece of muslin or napkin which
had been used to cover her ace after death,
but had screwed down her collin lid with
it upon her, and that she could not breathe
in her grave,but was wrestless on account
of the napkin. He tried to drive his dream
away, but it abided with him by night and
troubled him by day, Ile sought the con-
solution of religion, and his pastor prayed
with him, and assured him that it was
wicked to indulge such morbid fancy, It
was the subject of his own petition before
the Throne of Grace; but still the Spirig
came ond told anew the story of her suftox
cation, In despair he sought the unders
taker, Mr, Dickey, who told him that the
napkin had not beeh removed, but urged
him to forget the circumstance, as it could
not be any possible annoyance to inani-
mate clay. While the gentleman frankly
acknowledged this he could not avoid tha
apparition, and continual stress upon his
mind began to tell upon his health, At

But one winter night, about two years |
after Ardents marriage, there came a}
cramped, scrawled letter, the production
of which was evidently toilsome labor to!
some unaccustomed hand. The meaning |
was as follows:

“Tam dirceied by my dear mi: tress to
write to you. She is very sick, and is

disinterred, and visited the undertaker tor

“Tere he was met with the same ad-
yieo aud , ersuasion, and convicted once
more of his folly, the haunted man return-
edto his home. That night more vivid
than ever, more terribly real than before,
she came to his bedside and upbraided

* Why, where can her husband be ?” ex- |
claimed Mrs, Allen.

“Tthe has dared neglect her, woe be |
unto him!” cried Stephen, springing to his
feet,

In an hour he had gone, Readipg his
secret in his impetuosity, the startled mo-
ther gaye him her trembling good-bye
kiss, and then fell to packing stores of}
comtorts for Ardent, to be sent asStephen |

Sians.—It is » good sign to see a man
doan act of charity, Itis a bad sign to
hear bim boasting of it. It is a good sign
to see an honest man wearing his old
clothes, It is a bad sign to see them fill-
ing the hol:s in the window, It isa good
sign to see a man wiping the perspiration
trom his brow, It is a bad sign to sce #
man wipe his chops as he comes out of

him for his want of affection, and would
not leave him until he promised to re-
move the cause ofall her suffering. The
next night with a friend, he repaired to
the sexton, who was prevailed upon to
accompany them, and there, by the light
ot the cold, round moon, the body was

lid unscrewed, and the napkin removed

forthe lasttime. Thanking him for his
kindness, she pressed her cold lips to his
cheek and came again no more, Reader,
this isa true story; can you explain the
mystery of dreams ?”

Kvery advertiser lives on a front street;
every person doing business that don't ad-
vertise, simply vegetates on a back, nars
row, uninviling street, One class is re-
presented in the numerals as a figure, the
other as a cipher. One is alive, the other
is not much better than dead, One is in
sunshine, the other in shade.
