Oh, how the katy<tidf choriiaing In, Not very long; ago;

Bang to the stars with their musical din, Orer my Joy yon know.

Called till the moon came orer the hill. Ami touched all the night with a silvery thrill. Oar love erowmed neat with Its beanty to All,

While the katydids sang so low.

We boIU ue a Beat wltb lor lag care. Not very long ago,

Ouf In the west, 1*11 toll you where, Ily the beautiful rtrers flow-

That laugh, up north la the little blue lakes. And sings at Its winding path It takes. To the shore where the fulf'green billow breaks

And the salt tides oome and go.

Blue was the rlrer and bluer the skies, Not rerr long ago;

When I flew to our nest where the three hills rise • B y the rlrer's murmuring flow; Home lights on the hlllasang ••Home" as I sped, Aad the rlrer eaag "Home" In Its pebbly bed. And the starlight gtoamed in the sklee OTerhead

And dsitoed In the rlrer below.

One day while winging our hts^py flight, f' Not rery long ago, « My glad day shaded to dusky njiht

A golden sunbeam lightly kissed -< My story Is old, 1 know)

Sweet was hit song, and low.

My Robin flies and my Robin sings riuttering to and fro.

And my heart Is full of fbe lore he brings, And the song ke sings to show

That love In the soul groWs never a-oold. And the heart Is young wlille the head Is old. And the tale of the morning is never told

Though the long- years oome and go. ,

Whistles my Robin—"The suW looks west . Though the clouds drift to and fro,"

Softly I answer him, "Ood kaoweth best Whither our feet should go."

And we wing our way by "still waters'* awhile. Till the path through ''green pastures*' leads

BY TH* AUTHOR OK H THB PENURIOUS

COMPOSITOR, OR HOW IIR

ORRW RICH "

Roger Flint was a hard man—bard at steel*

•'This Is the way It standi, Mr. Begg'," he was saying ono day to a man In his office^ "* poor man U no man at all, and a rich one Is a fool If ha spends what to haa. My motto is, get money. Get it honestly, If von can. If not—get It, and keep I t "

"And ye got It,9' quavered Mr. Beggs, With a mean twinkle In his watery eyes. "Ye gbt it and ya kept it, Mr. Flint. Oh, you're a sharp one~~-a rtg'lar knife rdger, you are/9

"Now, there's a fellow,'1 continued Flint, poiuting at the shabby ciers, "whom 1 took out of a charity Insti­tution when a boy. I fed him, elothed bim, and taught Mm a good business* Bat was he grateful ? Not be! Ue complained of hard work, and had •ague ideas on the sub|ect of pocket money* Hut I bayti crushed all that nonicme out of him. Haven't I, Jacob ?"

' Eh," said the shabby clerk; start-tog at the sound of the harsh voice, but not turning his head. "Oh, yes, he baa crushed rrtel Oh, certainly!" His depressed manner sufficiently at­tested the truth of his words*

'Now," ssld Flint, turning sudden­ly upon his friend, and Nearly upset­ting him by the shock, "What did you come her for to-night? Not to be sociable. Not you. You are up to some game, I can s*e It In your face. Perhaps I know what It Is. But out with tt, anyway."

"What a knowin' 'un you are!" creaked Begg*, rubbing his hands to­gether "Whit an up and down sticker.» - . J

Ueggs shifted uneasily in bis chair, and scorned very uncomfortable. "Yorjr daughter is a vory floe gal," he quavoied, "an uncommon fine gal. She ought to have a good husband, one SR would be lovin'and kind to bar."

••Like yourself, for Instance," re­turned Mr. Flint, with an Ironic smil<\ "Well, goon ."

"Suppose," continued Beggi, more easily than * ver, Mippoae, forargey-ment's salie I was to wnnt her for my wife, whar little turn would you feel disposed fi tftvo her?"

Thnrmih' left Mr. Flint'*- facr, and a grim irown Miccoorted it. ,

••Notour rout, ^ir! not ouje rent!" bea'jswvred sharply. "Take her as she )», <»r le» lior alone. I'm In no hurrj to part, with her. ^he earns her Jivfn* *mi more, and I* a ^ood daugfrtr to ton he-ldtn "

"Hen here, Mr Flint, Til uke her Ifahc•swlllln^ ,•

Mr. Flint's face expressed consid* arable satisfaction i H he answered:

"Hbo will be willing. She Will do whatever I think best for her. Jacob, go eail Jes«fe."

rnrtenth heixaniitd wi.hupitt-ty, mild eyed young girl, who came and seated herself silently at her father's side. If ever features of stone made a miserable attempt to look kind, IJoger Flint's did than. And when he spoke, there was some* thing very like tenderness In bis grat­ing voioe, absolutely.

"Jessie,"be said, "haveyou ever thought of marrying ?"

"If I have, father," answered she with a slight blush, "the thought has been so speedily banished by a de­termination novel1 to leave you, thai II oouJd hardly be called si thought at

"A ; v / j \kLTjrr, and of no weight

In the plans I have formed for your benefit.'' t

The glrl's/ace had grown M white as death, and she sat staring at him with wide open, frightened eyes.

"Simon Biggs," continued her father, M« vol«-e #rowing dryer and hslnber M »»• pr.>.:« i Jed, "Is no very handsome oi j >ni to look at, I admit; but ho is rich mxt a driveling old doUrtf; and I ho woman that marries him can easily control both him and I bis money, If she will."

"Come," said Flint, with a grim attempt at jocularity, "ho ha* but a halfdojsen years in him at hist, and theo,arloh young widow, eh,Jessie?"

"t would rather die, as my mother did, a thousand, a thousand times rather!" said Jessie, in a low, choked voiced, putting both trembling hands uposj his arm.

"Nonsense!" retorted her father, harshly shaking her off. "Once marfled you will laugh at this folly, and thank mo for disregarding It Now go up stairs and dry your eyes for the matter is settled, I tell you."

She arose, and looked flxldly at him a moment. Then, seeing the Iron determination in his face, she turned, and with a low sob, left the room. When she was gone, the clerk, who had been standing near the desk with clenched hands and flushed countenance, hastily resumed his stool and worked away harder than over. p

"Don't seem 'ickaiiy '(ached to me, docs she ?" groz*ned Biggs.

The impatient reply upon Mh Flint's lips was Interrupted by the openlog of the office door and the en­trance of a young lady, mufiled and furred against the weather. What a oriarht little creature she was! What eyes! Now sharp and sly as a bird's, now soft and gentle as it Is possible for a womata's eyes to be. What a firm little figure/ carried with an air of dignity, that means just nothing at all! Whatourls! What lips! Gra­cious! :

"How do yon do, Mr. Jacobs?" she said addressing the clerk first o* all, and then bowing to Mr, Flint "And this is your friend P" she con, tlnued, looking straight into Mr. Beggs' /see, as he wriggled to his feet to be introduced. "I can't say that I'm,happy to know you. Any relation to tba Crow family?" No, Indeed! A very strong resemblance, then. Is Jessie np stslis, Mr. Flint ? I will go up and see her, If yon plesse?", And with a laugh and a shake of the dark. curls, she was out of the room—leaving Mr. Beggs breathless and crestfallen.

"I don't like Mrs. Hey ward, If that Is her name," he mumbled trying to recover his composure. But she bad so startled and shaken him that pros* ontly he shambled off home.

A week rolled on, and one morning Hogar Flint entered bis office, and In tone^ which heTsiolf endeavored to render as harsh and stern as usual, said: ,

^acot^tiave you seen Jessie, this morning f'

Jacob Answered "No" •Then," exclaimed Flint, suddenly

breaa|og^(lbwn, "she has left us—for what? Jacob I Jacob! See, here Is a note which she left upon my table. Head It"

With a shaking hand, Jacob took the note and road ;

uMy dear, dear father—doubly dear to mo now that I have left you— try, oh, try to believe that I am not as sinful as 1 seem ! Try to think that I strove hard—Indeed 14id-~to obey your wishes; but had not the strength to do i t Oh, my deatestl now that by my own weakness anl wickedness I have sot a gulf between us, perbsps never to be crossed, 1 beg and pray you to shake off that fearful love of gain that has made us all so wretched, and be your own good, gentle self again. Be kinder to Jacob —poor Jacob! For 1 loved him, father; and forgive, ob, forgive your child!"

The two men stood staring at each other, with a fearful thought burning In their eyes, for a long, breathless moment. Then, as If he had dashed itasidowith his flenched hand, the depressed shrinking air was gone from Jacob; ail that was manly and noble In him oame uppermost In bis strong sorrow, and he, whose patient drudge ho had always been, cowered bafore his dilating eye.

"Wrotch!" he shouted, "see what your accursed ^pioney has done for you. You would have made your daughter's life a hell for ft! You would have given her, body and soul to a thing a thousand times more de­graded than a beast for It! You have held It up to her daily as an Idol to be worshipped before Heaven! Are you satisfied ?"

For a long while the old man stood silent with a bewildered look in his face, then he started toward the door bareheaded as he was.

"Whora^are you going?' a*ked Jacob, de^Hmg him.

"I am going to find my child," he said, brokenly, "1 am going to bring her back and try, through all tho years of my wasted life, to atone for the wrong I have done to her. Jacob, will you go with me?"

For many days after ibis, people wondered at two strange figures that they encountered in tho streets*-! haggard white haired old man, sup parted by a younger one, who wan­dered hither and thither on broad thoroughfares and In narrow byways, peering with eager eyea Into tba faces of all they met, But no trace of her tbey sought so anxloutly was found. Night after night they placed a light In the office window, vaguely bopiog that she might see Its glimmer, and, feeling the longiog It expressed, re­turn td them. But she never came,

;Avarice, in Roger Flint, had ao eajpped and mined Ms nobler feelings, that when it w u torn ont of him, at at one sWroo dutch, it left him weaker than a child to bear hie trouble.

Worn oi t with fatigue, heartsick Willi fruitless expectation, be broke down completely; and took to his bed with no wish to rise again. And Jacob Stillnor more nifinly to bin pa tlent sorrow than he had over been before, sat by and tended him.

"Jacob," ho said, one afternoon, a few weeks after her disappearance, "Jacob, I dreamt last night that our poor girl had come back to us, aud I w*s weeping bitterly lo think of all (ho wrong and sorrow I had brought upon hi r yourg life. And I thought that s':u put h< r arms abom my neck and whispered: 'All a dream, dear father; he comforted, for it was all a dream.' t/*cob," he said, suddenly initrrupting hiin*e!f, "I wish I could see her again before 1 die." I

Night bad fallen again, and the old man was lying on bis sofa In the lit­tle back room, with Jacob sitting silently near him when the door opened, and tbreo persons came In. They were Mrs Hey ward, a tali young man, and a female figure, cloeely veiled.

"Mr. Flint," begsin the lady sharp­ly, "you are not tho mean, covetous, hard old man that you were, are yon ?"

"No," answered Mr. Flint, hum­bly."

"And you would be kinder to your daughter If you had her back sgsln, would you ?"

"Yee., But Qod forgive me, it Is too late to talk of that 1"

"Then, there I" she cried, choking and gasping In her emotion; "take her."

And, with a loud cry, the veiled figure fell at the o!d man's sido ard took his head to her breast.

"My chllff," he cried, weeping bitterly, "my little child !"

"A dream dear father,"sobbed the gir); "all a terrible dream, it seems. Forgive mo for leaving you."

"Tell him,' said the tall young man, laconically.

"Listen, you bad old creature," said MrwHeyward, putting her dear little face* into all sorts of shapes to keep froth crying, too. "One night I oame here and found your daughter nearly distracted because you were bent on marrying her to that hideous old crow friend of yours. When I knew that it was for his money, I knew that yvu wogld neyer soften to any entreaty she could make* I was mad. I raved and stormed awful, and then went homo and tola my old boy all about It."

Her old boy, otherwise the tall young man, nodded admiringly.

"I asked him if nothing could be done to save her from this misery to whtch you were driving her. *Let her elope,' said be, In his dear, stupid wayi 4let her leave the old rascal, and If he loves bis child, as most men, however hardened do, be will re­lent"

And so we planned between us how It should be done, I pursuaded her to meet him, unknown to you, and at last she consontod. "My hus­band," laying her hand proudly on his arm, "whom you have never seen, was the man she ran away with, and our home was herasy'um. She pined for her father who was not deserving of her love; she pined for the home that had never been a happy one, and—and"—here the little creature sobbed and laughed together—"we have brought hor hack to you, this bright and merry Christmas day, and never, never wrong her so again."

When she had finished, Boger Flint slowly arose, and deliberately turn­ing about, pummeled his pillows on* til he was out of breath. "There," ho said, beaming all over, /'lies old Roger Flint, that schemelng old minor, dead as a door nail. And here," tapping himself, "Is the new Roger Flint, who, with God's help, will be a kinder and a better man." Then how he laughed ! such laughs as hadn't come out of his dry throat In years. How he bugged them all, aye,;eveu the young man himself! How he made a perfect, Jolly dervish of himself about the room !

"Jacob," he said, stopping sudden­ly, "I owe you a great debt, accumr-latcd In long years of harshness and cruelty. I'm going to pay that debt, Jacob, every penny of it.

They took their abode In Brooklyb, and Mrs* Merrlman was soon signalised by her intelligence In the cultivated circle of Henry Ward Beochei^s church, of whloh she and her husbsnd had become members. Outside of tho hours she was obliged to devote to her household dutlrs and to her son lUlpb, she spent all her tlmo in Intellectual Improvement and to Utters sent to the paper of fasblcns fdlted by Madame Demorest It was at this timo thst Mrs. Merrl­man Inveaited a bygianlo corset with suspenders, had it patented and after­ward advertised by means of Madame Demoresl's fashion sheet This Inci­dent caused the rumor at the time of the marriage that Pore Hyaclnthe had married a corset maker. Their little house in Brooklyn* although small and retired, soon became the rendezvous of a select circle. Theo­dore Til ton and Henry Ward Beecher were often her guests, and Frank Ulerstadtp the landscape painter, who died in 1867, here exhibited his fa­mous Rooky Mountains. It was he who gave Mrs. Merrlman lessons In painting. In throwing a glance at her rapid rise In the world one would Imagine Emily perfectly happy, but such was s>ot the case.

A few nights ago she got into a cornfield and filled herself so full of tbe provender there that *ho was unable to rise when she Uid down, aud nothing short of her death was expected, until a neighbor came along and undertook to relieve hrr by plunging a butcher knife Into her fiink fust in trout of her hip bone. This failed to have the desired effect, and another neighbor proposed to enlarge the hole made by tbe knife and remove the food, To this the owner would not consent until con­vinced that she would die anyway,and then tbe experiment was tried, and fully six bushels of undigested corn, cornstalks, and grass,In a state of fer­mentation, wero removed from her paunch.

occasion soon offered Itself. Judge Uammall, of Indiana, a rloh land holder In the west who was fre­quently ohe of her chosen clrole, made her the proposition to accom­pany his son to France to complete his education. The offer was ac­cepted with pleasure. From Paris Mrs. Merrlman cent several letters to the New Yprk Times; they were read with great interest especially one on Venioe, which was then under the heel of the Austrians. After her so­journ lo Europe, she again settled in Brooklyn; the was then twenty-nine. As she was then at the zenith of her beauty, let us make a sketch of her.

8he is of medium slae, with an ao* c en ted but finely-shaped form, her hands and feet are those of a patric­ian, tho is of noble bearing; her raven hair encases a forehead perhape a tri­fle low but wide; a well shaped nose; a rosy, sonswal, largo mouth, filled with fine white teeth; her look inti­mates when sho does not wish to be amiable; her whole appearance has a sensual fascination, whloh Is sure to conquer most men. On her return to America she Immediately laid plans to return to Europe to make a long stay, under the plea that she wished to give her son a brilliant education. After having had occasion to be courted by so many cultured men, she began to treat her husband as a very Inferior person, Besides, Mr. Merrlman, during tbe absence of his wife, had contracted many bad hab­its; moreover he had become bank­rupt after having tried to establish himself la business. Fortunately for Mrs. Merrlman, the house In Brook­lyn, when purchased, had been put In her name. With the proceeds of the sale of the houso she realized a small capital, and, after having made ar­rangements with the editors of New York papers for letters, and obtained a letter of introduction to Abraham Lincoln from Mr. Beecher, she went to Washington. She there obtained soveral letters of Introduction to the consuls at tho European capitals. Her first csjre when settled In Paris, In 18Gf), was the study of the French language. Her teacher told her she would best correct her foreign accent Iu hearing some sermons; she would thus accustom her ear to the Intonation of sentencee and words. At this time Pare Hyaclnthe was at­tracting great crowds at Notre Dame; his eloquence mado tho pulpit one of tho great attractions of the city. Emily went to hear one sermon, then two, then did not miss one. What was the result? Wss she really touchod with heavenly grsce, or did the Inspired words of the great ora­tor, after baring exalted her Imagi­nation, produce an earthly love in her heartr Whatever the reason could have been, one evening, after a sermon of store than usual eloquence, Mrs. Merrhman, very much agitated, waited for jPere Hyaclnthe, and as he left tbe vestry, she said to him: "My father, 1 %xk a Protestant I want to be a Catbcillc; enlighten me." From that honr tSegan the instructions—we were golog to say the? Interviews— whioh terminated only on tbe day tbe neopbkte was baptised, at the church off S t Bulploe, Pere Hyac-

Paper MaUraad Tracks,

This Is the latest railroad improve­ments : 'We are on the eve of a great revolution In railroad oonstrrotiosa. 1 have fost been examining a section of paper rail, it is a new departure In relation to rails. When we substi­tuted steel for Iron we thought we had attained perfection, but there is something that must supersede every­thing else. The coat per mile will be less by one third than that of steel, and it will last muoh linger, being almost Indestruclble. There is no expansion or contraction form bent and cold, consequently no loose or open joints, and being so moch lighter than steel or Iron, the rails oan be made longer and connection perfectly solid, making the road as smooth as one continuous rait The adhesion of the drivers ot the engine to this material will be greater than that of steel, consequently the same weight engine will have a larger load* There will be a large saving of fuel, the smoothness of the rail will leeeen the wear and tear of rolling atocB. The rails ate mails wholly and en­tirely of paper, and so solid that tbe sharpest spike cannot be driven Into them, The action of the atmosphere has no effect on It,will neither mat nor rot, and with paper wheels and rails of same material, our palatial trains will glide over the prairies at the rate of sixty miles an boor with as little |olt and far as an ocean steamer."

When locomotive and car wheeis made of paper are found more dni> able than thoae of Iron or steel, why are not paper rails practicable f Then trains will glide over the roede so easily and send tramps np the golden sUlrs so quietly thsUOoroiser 8pencer will not bear of their dem lee until they have donned wlnga and gosae into the cloud x iahlng permanently.—Mx<
