The feathery flakes of amber Are melting into brows, { The leaves in showers are falling, And dreams of night are calling Above the twilight crewn.

Selections. THE HOOSIER SCHOOL-MASTER. | BY RBWARD NGGLESTON. From Hearth and Home. CHAPTER XXXIL Arter TaR Barrie. Nothing can be more demoralizing in the long riin than lynch law. And yet lynch law often originates in a burst of generous indignation which is not willing to suffer a bold oppressor to escape by means of corrupt and cowardly courts. It is oftener born of fear. Beth motives powerfully agitated the people of the region round about Clifty as night drew on after Ralph's acquittal. They were just- ly indignant that Ralph had been made the victim of such a conspiracy, and they were frightened at the unseen danger to the community from such a band as that of Small's. It was certain that they did not know the full extent of the danger as yet. And what Small might do with a jury, or what Pete Jones might de with a sheriff, was a question. I must not detain the reader to tell how the mob rose. No- body knows how such things come abeut. Their origin is as inexplicable as that of an earthquake. But, at any rate, a rope was twice put round Small's neck during that night, and both times Small was saved only by the nerve and address of Ralph, who had learned how unjust mob low may be. As for Small, he neither trembled when they were ready to hang him, nor looked relieved when he was saved, nor showed the slightest flush of penitence or gratitude. He bore himself in a quiet, y way throughout, like the i villain thet he was. He waved a preliminary examination the next day; his father went his bail, and he forfeited his bail and disappeared from the county and frem the horizon of my story. Two reports Small have been in circulation--one that he was run- ning a faro bank in San Francisco, the other that he was curing consumption inhalation pnd electricity here in New York.) If this latter were true, it would leave it an open question whether Ralph did well to seve him from the gallows.-- Pete Jones and Bill, as usually happens to the rougher villains, went to prison, and when their terms had expired moved to Pike County, Missouri. Bat it is about Hannah that you want to hear, and that I want to tell. She went straight from the court-room to Flat Creek, climbing to her chamber, jacked sii Jae earthly goods, consisting chiefly a fow family relics, in & handkerchiof,and turn- od her back on the house of Means forever. At the gate she met the old woman, who shook her fist in the girl's face and gave her a parting benediction in 'the words: " You mis'able, ongrateful critter jou, yo "long! I'm glad to be shed of you!" At the baru she met Bud, and he told her good- by with a little huskiness in his voice, while a tear glistened in her eye. Bud had been a friend in need, and such » friend one does not leave without a, pang. Where are you going! Can I----" " No, no {" And with that she hasten- od on, afraid that Bud would offer to hitch up the roan volt. And she did not want to add to his demic, magpie by promising him way. a wl rani ing when ashe loft. hours were long, the read was lonely, and after the revelations of that day it did net seem wholly safe. But from the mo- ment that she found herself free, her heart had been ready to break with an im- patient home-sickness. What theugh there might be robbers in the woods?

I -- Ce Hanngh was ready now to do anything by which she could support her mother and Shocky. She was strong and inured to toil. She was wailing and cheerful,and she would gladly have gone to service if by that means she could have supported the family. And, .for that matter, her mother was already nearly able to support herself by her knitting. Bat Hannah had been carefully oducated when young, and at that moment the old public schools were h . | being organized into s graded schaol, and the good minister, who shall be nameless because he is, perhaps; still living jn Indi- ist parlagce was called " the preacher-in-charge of Lewis- burg . Station" --this good mini and Miss Naney Sawyer got Hannah a place as teacher of a primary department. And then 4 little house with four rooms was rented, and a little, a very little furniture was put in it, and the old, sweet home was established again. The father was gone never to come back again. But the rest were here. - And somehow Hannah kept waiting for somebody else to come. CHAPTER XXXIIL INTO THE LIGRT. For two weeks longer Ralph taught at the Flat Creek school-house. He was everybody's hero. And he was Bud's idol. He did what he could to get Bud and Martha together, and though Bud always '" saw her safe home" after this, and called on her every Sunday evening, yet, to save his life, he could not forget his big fists and his big feet long enough to- say what he most wanted to say, and what Martha most wanted him to say. At the end of two weeks Ralph found himself exceeding- ly weary of Flat Creek, and exceedingly glad to hear from Mr. Means that the school-money had "gin aout." It gave him a good excuse to return to Lewis- burg, where his heart and his treasure were. A certain sense of delicacy had kept him from writing to Hannah just yet. When he got to Lewisburg he had good news. His uncle, ashamed of his previ- ous neglect, and perhaps with an eye to his nephew's growing popularity, had got- ten him the charge of the grammar de- paitment in the new graded school in the village. So he quietly arranged to board at a» boarding-house. His aunt could not have him about, of which fact he was very glad. She could not but feel, she said that he might have taken better care of Walter than he did, when they were only four miles apart. He did not hasten to call on H h. Why should he! He sent her a message, of mo consequence in itself, by Nancy Sawyer. Then he took Pp ion of his school; and then, on the evening of the first day of school, he went as he had appointed to himself, to see Hannah Thomson. And she, with some sweet presentment, had gotten things ready by fixing up the scantily-furnished room as well as she could. And Miss Nancy Sawyer, who had seen Ralph that afternoon, had guessed that he was going to see Hannah. Its wonderful how much enjoyment a gener- ous heart can get out of the happiness of others. Is not that what He meant when he said of such as Miss Sawyer that they should have a hundred-fold in this life for all their sacrifices? Did not Miss Nancy enjoy a hundred weddings, and love and have the love of five hundred children? And so Miss Nancy just happened over at bY | Mrs. Thomson's humble home, and, just in the most matter-of-course way, asked that lady snd Shocky to come over to her house. Shocky wanted Hannsh to come too. But Hannah blushed a little, and said that she would rather not. And when she was left alone, Hannah fixed her hair two or three times, and swept the hearth, and moved the chairs first one way and then another, and did a good many other needless things. Need- Joss: for a'lover, if he be lover, does not see furniture or dress. And then she sat down by the fire, and tried to sew, and tried to look unconcerned, and tried For the oppressed girl had, in two weeks, blessomed out into the full-blown woman. And Ralph sat down by the fire, and talked of his school and her school, and ik EEFEL iE over 50 beautiful in itself, will not bear telling. And so I shall leave a little gap just here, which you may fill up as you please. Somehow, they never knew how, they got to talking about the future instead of the past, after that, and to planning their two livesasone life. And . . . . . . And when Miss Nancy and Mrs. Thomson returned later in the evening, Ralph was standing by the mantle-piece, but Shocky noticed that his chair was close to Han- nah's. And good Miss Nancy Sawyer | looked in Hannah's face and was happy. CHAPTER XXXIV. "How 1r Casz Our." We are all children in reading stories. 'We want more than all else to know how it all came out at the end, and, if our taste is not perverted, we like it to come out well. For my part, ever since I be- gan to write this story, I have been anxi- ous to know how how it was going to come out. Well, there were very few invited. It took place at ten in the morning. © The '¢ preacher-in-charge" came, of course.-- Miss. Nancy Sawyer was there. But Ralph's uncle was away, and Aunt Matilda had a sore throat and couldn't come. Perhaps the memory of the fact that she had refused Mrs. Thompson, the pauper, a bed for two nights, affected her throat. But Miss Nancy and her sister were there, and the preacher. And that was-all, be- side the family, and Bud and Martha. Of course Bud and Marthe came. And driving Martha to & wedding in a *' jump- er" was the one Ppportunity that Bud His hands were busy, his big boots were out of sight, and it was so easy to slip from Ralph's love affair to his own, that Bud some how, in pulling Martha Hawkin's shawl about her, stammered out half a proposal, which Martha, generous soul, took for the whole ceremony, and ac- cepted. And Bud wasso happy that Ralph guessed from his face and voice that the agony was over, and Bud was be- trothed 'at last to the " gal as wasa gal." And after Ralph and Hannah were mar- ried--there , was no trip, Ralph only changed his boarding-place and became head of the house at Mrs. Thompson's thereafter--aftor it was all over, Bud came to Mr. Hartsook, and, snigkering just alittle, said as how as him and Mar. tha had fixed it all up, and now they want- ed to ask his advice ; and Martha, proud but blushing, came up and nodded assent. Bud said as how as he hadn't got no book- larnin' nor nothin', and as how as he want- ed to be somethin', ard put in his. best licks for Him, you know. And thst Marthy, she was of the same way of think- in', and that she was a blessin'. And the Squire was a goin' to marry agin', and Marthy would ruther vacste. And Kis mother and Mirandy was sech ashe would- n't take no wife to. And he thought as how Mr. Hartsook might think of some way or some place where he and Marthy mout make a livin' fer the present, and put in their best licks fer Him, you know, Balph thought a moment. He was about tomakejan allusion to Hor- cules and the Augean stables, but he re- membered that Bud would not understand it, though it might remind Martha of something she had seen at the East, the time she was to Bosting. "Bud, my dear friend," said Ralph, "it looks a little hard to ask you to take a new wife" --here Bud looked admiringly at Martha--"to the poor-house. But I don't know anywhere you can do so much good for Christ as by taking charge of that place, and 1 can get the appointment for you. The new commissioners want just such a man." At "What d'ye say, Marthy 1" said Bud. " Why, somebody ought to do for the poor, and I should like to do it." And so Hercules cleaned the Augean stables, Andso my h ly H story of twenty years ago draws to a close, and, not without regret, I take leave of Ralph, ind Hannah, and Shocky, and Bud, and Martha, and Miss Nancy, and of my readers. P. 8.--A copy of the Lewisburg Jeffer- sonian came into my hands to-day and I see by its columns that. Ralph Hartsook is principal of the Lewisburg Academy. Jt took me some time, however, to make out that the sheriff of the county, Mr. Israel W. Means, was none other than my old friend Bud of the Church of the Best Licks. I was almost as much puzzled over his name as I was when I saw an article in the city paper, by Prof. W. J. Thomson, on Poor-Houses. I should not have recog- nized the writer as Shocky, had I not known that Shocky has given all his spare time to making outcasts feel that God has not forgot. For, indeed, God never for- gots. But some of those to whom he in- hl h » - | trusts his work do forget. [coxcrLupep.] Mr. M----, of Oxford, doesn't object to having a hired man to dos full day's work ~--at least 80 we'judge from the following story. -- "' A short time ago a man went to his place for work. Mr. M.----set him plow- ing round a forty acre field. After he had plowed faithfully all day, until the sun was about half-an-hour high, he expressed his opinion that it was about time to quit. * Oh no," replied Mr. M----, *" you can plough around six or eight times more just as well as not." Bo the hired man ploughed. around six or eight times, then went to the house, took care of his team, milked nine cows, ate his supper, and found ten o'clock star- 'ing him in the face from the old time piece. Said the hired man to Mrs. M------, " Where is Mr. M.----" The good woman answered, "" He has retired. Do you wish to see him!" He replied that he did. And, after be- ing conducted to the bed-room, he sdid: "Mr. M----, where is the axel" "Why," said Mr. M----, "what do you want with the axel" " Well," said the hired man, " I thought you might like me to split wood till the breakfast was ready."

One hundred and ten years ago there was not a single white man in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Then, what is the most flourishing part of America, was as little known as the country around the mysterious mountains of the moon. It was not until 1776 that Boone left his home in North Carolina to become the first settler in Kentucky. The first pio- neers of Ohio did not settle until twenty years after that time. ; A hundred years ago Canada belonged to France and the population did not ex- ceed a million and a half of people.

A hundred yoars ago the United States were the most loyal part of the British Empire, and on the political horizon no speck indicated the struggle which within a score of years thereafter established the great republic of the world. A hundred years ago thers were but four mewspapers in America. Steam engines had not been imagined, and railroads and telegraphs had not en- tered into the remotest conception of men. When we come to look at it threugh the vista of history, wo find that to the cen- tary just passed has been alotted the more important events in their bearing upon the happinness of the world, than almost any other which has elapsed since the creation. SINGULAR WILLS.

Another the, testament- ary disposition of a devoted stenographist, is written in short hand, and contained in a little box. Whilst a third is contained in these three words, " All to wife." Here is the will of Monica Swiney, widow, who was of so Ovidian a turn of mind thateven her will ran into rhyme: -- For this I never will repen: "Tis my last will and io AY If much or little, nay, my all, I give my brother, thew Gall.

NorwiTusTANDING the severe storm which prevailed at Londen on Saturday morning, the University boat race took place, and the result was a victory for the Cambridge crew by one length and a half. The struggle was a gallant one from first to last. The time of the race is in dis- pute. One report gives it at 21m. 14s., and another at 21m, 53s. Taree little boys were disputing as to whose father said the shortest grace. -- First Boy--"My father says, 'Lord, we thank you for these provisions." Second Boy--*' And mine says, ' Father, bless this food to us.'" Third Boy-- "Ah, but mine's the best of all, he shoves his plate towards mamma and says, 'Darn ye, fill up." "It's no use talking about smoking shortening one's life," said Joskins to his wife, who was trying to induce him to give up the practice. " There's my grandfather now, he's smoked since he was a boy, and he's seventy-five years old." 'That may N been ninety if he hadn't smoked." A ScorcHMAN, observing that the once white linen of one of his employees had, through long absence of soap and water become a lazy black, inquired, asa prelude to a homily on cleanliness, how often his shirt was washed.

Truth will never die ; the stars will grow dim, the sun will truth will be forever young. Integrity, uprightness, honesty, love, goodness, these are all imperishable.
