MEMORY'S AXGEUS.

When the crystal height of silence Are with starry splendors crowned, , And the night, stupendous shadow, Wraps the dreaming world around. Thro' the purple (eaten of twilight. Flashed with sonnet's dying glow, In the day's departing footsteps Silent angela come and go ! Un forgotten deeds of kindness, Genu words that lightened care, Clasping bands and cheery greetings That have blest as unaware; Hopes, whoa rainbow light of promise From unclouded ether shed. Arched our morning dreams with splendor In the spring times that are dead I Love, that lured us with the vision Of a nobler life than this, Where the soul's Incarnate Ideal Dwelt la Apotheosis ; Faiths long canceled that were plighted To the rriend of former years, ' Touched the sealed springs of feeling,. And unlocked the fount of tears! . In the silence palpitating With the sense of unseen things. We can feel their phantom touchesHear the measured sweep of wing Catch the fleeting, shadowy fragrance Of unearthly roses, shed By the fair, unfading garland Wreathed about each shining head. In oar souls some sleeping sorrow W ikes to throoblng life again; Bnu u Id erin g g rie fs to kee ner paaslon Leap beneath their touch of pain; . LtiKt delights nnKtabl pleasuresDreams that died and made no sign Bhadowy ghosts of Joys departed, Our departing hearts divine. Ner they feel the fruitless longing Of unsfeeptrg memory Tor the loved yet vanished faces Ve no more on earth shall see; Or. with tender hands they lead us Bck by pleasant paths of yore. To the lowly, gra-s grown thresholds Weary feet shall pass no more ! THE FATAL SHOT. Dr. E. II. Bliss in Waverly.J A caravan, consisting of a dozen mule teams, paused just as the sun, round and glowing with a ino'ten red, sank down on the far horizon of the level prairie. Around them on either side for many miles the grass grew tall and rauk, interspersed here and there with a great variety of flowers. There w&s not a tree to be seen, or, indeed, a bush or twig. With a great show of activity the people unhitched their teams and built a fire in their portable stoves. ' Y-a a s, that's my opinion exactly. This yar spot about the center of the great prairie is just the loveliest piece of natur in the world. You can't fiad its equal this Bide of the Rockies " "I wasn't thinkin' about the blue grass of IUynoi, jedge, when I went for to assert that this ere was a flue picter, with the sun over there turning everything to crimson and yellow perhaps there might be finer scenes than this, I repeat." "Wal, Colonel Qjenten, we will leave that to Lize. Here, you, gal, come here. What do you think of that grass over there, leokin' as if it was a burnin'.?" "Think? I don't think nothin', Jedge Long, it's far away, and I had rather tend the bacon than listen to youryarns." "That's the way 'tis with that gal; she ain't got so much sentiment as an outcast Indian." ".Never you mind, jedge, when it comes mealtime you wont forget to get your share of corn-pone or fried bac n and coffee either. Let alone your fine talk about the perane; that don't amount to much long side of a square meal. Now, does U7" Quite right, Lize." said the judge. "Decidedly," gruffly responded the colonel. The girl went about her duties, preparing the evening meal for the two men and her father, who, by the way, was as blunt spoken and homely as his daughter. Colonel Quenten and Judge Long were quite original characters in their way. This was their first trip across the plains, which they undertook in the general excitement then reigning about the finding of gold. Falling in with Jonas Clark and his daughter, who were about to cross the plains, they made an agreement with them which, before the first dozen of miles out from St. Louis, be had nigh broken by proposing to squat To fix matters more satisfactorily to themselves, the two adventurers settled the case by buying the entire team, mules and all, and taking the old man and his daughter along "for boot," as old Clark expressed it They were now one of a dozen of similar teams, whoee shadows looked like wigwams in the semi-darknesj that had now formed around them. After their repast the three men sat around the camp ttove and smoked, and Lize did the dish washing. "Wal, colonel, the wear and tear of travel is a tellin' on ye m'ghty hard. How ye would like to be in 'Frisco, now, wouldn't ye, along with the nuggets ye are supposed to pick up on the way. There's no tellin' how long we'll be in gettin' thar, though," be added sorrowfully. The colonel had lived in the west from boyhood, and well knew what it was to share a comfortable farmer's life and sighed audibly at the former's remarks. VYe kin Jest bet your bottom dollar I wish I was thar, back in Illinois, where I come from. These here wastes around, without a ihrub or a tree, do not please me or Lize lary time, and I'm t e " What his next words would have been the two men were never to know in this world. for at the last word old Clark doubled himself a pat their feet a corpse, while a thin fuffof smoke curled up and disappeared ust around the corner ol the wagon. 'Who fired that shot?" exclaimed uie colonel, as bo'h started to their feet v.d seized the rifles. There was cot so much as a shadow to be seen nothing but the huge canvas of the wagon Happing now and .then against the wheels. The moon thone brightly across the mndulatitig plain, but, gaze as tbey would, not a sign could they discover of the origin of the shot. Stranger still, the neighboring camps around them did not appear to be cog nizttnt of the fact that a man had been killed The men looked into the team where Lize was sleeping. "Wake up, gal. wake up! Wewant ye to hurry and get yer duds on, for something strange has happened." O.d Clark lay where he bad fallen, with a bullet through his forehead. There was no ' mistaking that he was dead beyond a venture. When Lize beheld what had happened she uttered a piercing scream and then fell down betide him. "No use takin' the matter to heart, L'ze; what's did is past mending. Your faihtr has been aas-inated by unknown hands, and who has done it is 'what me and the jedge don't know; but if there be vengeance, gal, it shall surely overtake the scoundrel." "Yes you betl" A new voice altered these words a voice that came from the opposite side of the wazon. Then the itranger came out Into fnli viw a nerfect riant, dressed from head to foot in a suit of buckskin. He bore Id his hand a rifle, which he dropped to the ground and leaned upon. . "What has happened a man shot, with a - gal a howlin' for him! How do you account for it, strangerr "East enough: the maa has keen shot by aome sneaking coward whj knows well where to hide himself from cur bullets." "Ye don't mean to intimate that I'm unAkt mimicion of doln' the deed, do ye? for if ye do, I can furnish proof enough that there ain't so much ground for that belief as there is that I scalped a musiceter with this yer bowle knife. Vo, Bill the Ranger is made of different kind of stuff. - That was a sneak in' act" ; "We don't know who did the deed." said the colonel, "but lt'a been done, and what we want to know is Who the individual is. that we may give him bis just deserts." 'Good I I'm with ye 3traaxer,on that con

m w

elusion. I'm Bill the Ranger, at your service. ; I jn got here from a little burner experdiriou,' with poor success, but that doesn't make any -difference. I kin tell by the gal's grief that he was a kind father, and so I've got my mind on avenglsg him." Hardly had he said these words before the sharp report ot a rifle broke on the night air, followed by the whiz of a bullet, and the colonel's left arm dropped by his side like a lump of lead. The ranger -and the judge were on the. alert. Uoth saw the smoke as it rolled away even smelled the powder but, as before, not a hide or hair of an enemy was visible. The canvas back of the wagon flapped a few times, then the same deathlike stillness that reigned before. "Ghost or devil there's death to the man that stays here long," said the ranger, taking a few strides toward the direction from whence the shot had come. - The colonel drew his revolver and followed in the steps of the ranger. Carefully they searched the whole space of ground for a considerable distance. People from other camps came over to see what the trouble was, and when they learned what bad happened great was the anxiety to see where ie mysterious shots came from. But search as they might nothing but a few buffalo bones, whitened and dried, rewarded them. The colonel's wound was not so bad but he could stand watch. The ranger was to be awakened if there were signs of the enemy, while Lize, after covering her father's body with a blanket, got into the team and sobbed herself to sleep. 'Seen anything?" asked the ranger when the colonel shook him to let him know it was his turn to stand watch. "N.iry a ghost, but the hour of midnight is here, and time for such visits, and seein' as ye are to watch let's rouse the judge and take a smoke. Perhaps there's more danger ahead." . . "Eight: and if I don't get winged at short notice I'll let into somebody for certain." The three men filled their pipes, lighted them, and sat down with their rifles cocked, and watched the dim shadows around them. All was quiet as death, not a sound even from the mules broke the stillness of the midnight hour. "What is that I hear?" asked the judge,

after a long silence. "Footsteps are ap proaching." "Great heavens! Look 1 look!" They all grasped their rifles with one ac cord, and arose and faced what seemed to them a terrible apparition. Not forty yards awsy, and coming toward them with gigantic strides, was the colossal figure of a man, or what seemed to be a man, c!al from head to foot In a long, fbwiug white garment. It towered above them at least ten leec, wniie from the place supposed to be the mouth issued a sulphurous light. It carried no weapon that was visible, but hardly had the three faced it when a shot rang out on the niiht air. "I'm shot!" exclaimed the ranger, c aping his hand upon his heart; but the conscious ness of it sent a ferocious light into Lis eyes as he aimed at the figure. His first impulse was to fire high, but on second thought he lowered his rifle to the place where the feet were suppose d to be, and fired, lie missed: but now all the camps were aroused, and, seeing the ghostly visitant, sent each a shower of leaden hail into It that, before another minute,- thetnass of white was seen to waver and totter on its legs, then down it went. A it tell the form of an Indian was seen to dart out from the covering and take to his legs. "Thar's the ehost himself; the villain is making away at him, boys!" shouted the ranger, starting forward. On they went, until all of a sudden the figure disappeared, seeming to enter the ground. The ranger was near enough to him as he disappeared to notice that a cer tain piece of sod moved. Astonishing as it may seem, he actually saw the Indian disappear Into the bowels of the earth, and the sods closed together for a moment to banie him. "So that'sbis trick the red devil! He has an underground abode. Well, we'll rout him out of that in a jiffy," said the judge. Suddenly, as the raoger placed bis feet on certain spot, the ground gave way. and he was precipitated into a pit some five feet deep, right into the midst of five Indians. Dropping his rifle, be drew a bowie knile. and then commenced a terrific combat at uneven odds; but he was not alone, for nearly a score of rifles were po.nting right into the pit, ready to send death into their nild-t at a second a warning. "Git back to the side we are, ranger," shouted the colonel, "so as we kin clean out the varmints without techin' you " The ranger fell back, all the time giving thrusts himself, though wounded and hardly able to stand. "Fire!" commanded the colonel. At the word a sheet of flame burst into the pit, licbting up the eavage faces and sending nearly ever ylndian to his happy hunting ground. Those remaining were clubbed 1 h the hunters' rifle?. The ranger had killed two in hand-to-band conflict. He bad received a wound near the heart by a bullet before entering the pit, and was now very nearly exhausted. A heavier guard was posted after that round the camp, while eyes that could not be clo-ed in sleep watched the stars and listened with the keenest attention for further sound that night. The next day a grave was dug for the dead man, and with poor Eliza as chief mourner, the corpse was buried in the midst of the long grass and bright flowers of the prairie. BIIILIOVANIA.

0XLY THREE WIVES LEFT.

A Mormon Deserted by Two Women at the Depot. TtiV riefele "Sealed Creator Wb Were Vol According to Bites of the CbnreU Tne Pitiful Story ot Their IJege . Lord I New York Star, 5th. When Conductor Cad well's train of the Hudson River Railroad rolled out of the Grand Central Depot at 11:03 o'clock yesterday forenoon it was minus 14 passengers which it would have carried bad not circumstances prevented. The passengers who were . left "behind were Eider Jayne, a Mormon, and his five wives and eight children, who bad arrived in New York on one of the steamers from Europe, and were intending to take tbe train en route for Salt Lake City. The party came to the depot in two carnages. They made a mistake and went Into the New Haven passenger rooms, and tbe elder did not discover his error until he applied for his tickets, when be was told to go around tbe corner into the Hudson River rooms. It was nearly an hour before train time, and the Mormon family took seats in the waiting room. The elder himself was a man apparently about CD years of age. His hair was iron gray, and he wore a full beard of a color to match bis hsir. Two of his wives were nearly of his age, another was about 34, but the other two were about 25 and 20 respectively The children were four boys and four girls, the oldest perhaps 15 and the youngest three years of age. While waiting for train time, the Elder and two of the older women concluded that they would go to a neighboring restaurant and get some lunch to take with them on their journey. They were absent from the passenger room about half an hour. When they returned they were surprised to find that the two younger women bad gone out, leaving the eight children in charge of the remaining elderly lady. They had left word that they were going to a neighboring stationery store to make some purchases, and that they ronld be back again in ample time for the train. As it yet lacked half an hour of train time, the eider manifested no special anxiety. Fifteen minutes elapsed and the old gentleman began to fidget a little. Tbe clock ticked off ten minutes more. The elder became alarmed. Ue went to the door, and anxiously looked out to see if the missing women were In sight. They were not to be seen. He was advised to gat his tickets and have his baggage checked before it would be too late. I've sent my goods on as freight; all we have with us is in satchels, which we carry in our hands, and don't want checked," said the venerable Mormon. "Then get your ticker, anyway," exclaimed the depot agent. But the old gentleman was by this tim too much excited to listen to anybody. Drops of perspiration stood out upon his face, which he frantically mopped- with an immense bandana pocket Handkerchief. "All aboard!" shouted Conductor Cadwcll. The bell ranc, the whistle thriektd, and the train moved away. The Mormon," with three of his wives and eight children, remained in the passenger room. Ssveral depot employes and other sympathizing bystanders crowded about the elder and aked him to tell them his sorrow. At first he was so grieved or angry that he would not talk. He went to the door and hailed the drivers of two carriages. Ashe was getting his three remaining wives and eight children into the carriages, and giving the drivers directions to take them to Williamsburg, a rail road official managed to interview him. The elder was confident that his two younger wives had made up their minds to "leave his bed and board." They joined him two or three years before he left England for America, and although he considered them bis wives, tbey bad not yet been formally sealed to him according to the rites of the Mormon church. They had often expressed dissatisfaction with Mormonism and threatened to secede. He did not believe in compelling them to g to Utah with him against their will. If they wanted to leave him, he said they were welcome to go where they pleased. The only thing he regretted was the fact that he bad paid their fares in the steamer from Europe. Having safely stowed his family in tbe two carriages the tlder slammed tbe dcera and climbed upon one of the seats beside a driver, and the vehicles were rapidly driven down Third avenue on their way to Washington. It was said that one of the children riinaing with the elder belonged to one of the fugitive wives, and much surprise was expressed at her lack of mother's instinct in abandoning her child. Althoug'i the Mormon family evidently belonged to the poorer class, they were cleanly and respectably dressed. The children, especially, were neatly and prettily clad. The whole family spoke with a strong Lancashire dialect. The elder said that he should rem tin in Williamsburg a day or two, in order to give the fugitive wives aa opportunity to return to him, and then he woatd depart for Utah. His three remaining wives seemed rather pleased than otherwise at the secession of their sisters. It was reported last evening that one of the fugitives returned to the Grand Central Depot shortly after the e'dtr went away, and that she made inquiries as to whether he bad taken the train up tbe river or gone to Williamsburg. This would seem to indicate that she had repented and wanted to get back to her liege . lord. Perhaps, however, she waa tbe one who left a child, and the child waa the loadstone which drew her wayward heart. Wrltlac Ppr. Of the several kinds of paper used at dlf ferent timf s for writing, and manufactured from various materials, the Egyptian is unquestionably the most ancient. The exact date of its discovery is unknown; but, according to I-adore, it was first made at Mem phis; and, according to others, in S ide or Upper Egypt. It waa manufactarrd from the inner films of the papyrus or biblos. a sort of fl g or bulrush growing in the marshes in Egypt. Tne outer skin being taken off, there are next several films or inner skins, one within another. These, when separated from the stalks, were laid on a table and moistened with the glutinous waters of the Nile. Tbey were afterward pressed together and dried in the sun. From this papyrus i is that what we now make use of to write upon, hath also the name of papyr, or paper, though of quite another nature from the ancient papyrus. Bruce, tbe well known Abyssinian traveler, had in his possession a large and very perfect manuscript on papyrus, which had been dug up at Thebes, and which he believed . to be tbe only perfect one known. Pliny says that tbe books made of papyrus we're usually rolled up; and that every such roll consisted of an indefinite nnmber of sheets, which were fastened together by glue, care being taken always to place the best sheet of papyrus first, that which was next in supri oriy second, and so in gradation to the last, which was the worst sheet in the roll. This practice is confirmed by the Egyptian manuscript taken from a mummy at Thebes, and preserved in the British museum. Manuscripts of this kind are by far the most ancient that have reached our times. Many manuscripts, written upon papyrus, have been found in the ruins of Ilerculaneum, which was destroyed by an eruption of Vesuvius, A. D. 79. The manuscripts are completely calcined, though by incredible labor and patience fragments of some of them have been unrolled and copied. The Chinese generally made their paper from the bark of the bamboo, and the Japanese lrake an exceedingly strong paper from the morns papyrifera aativa. It la not known whoa paper was first made from linen rags, nor to whom we axe in

debted for the invention-"" Dr. Prideaux delivers it as his opinion that linen paper was brought from the east, because many of the Oriental manuscripts are written upon it. Mabillon believes its invention to have been in tne twelfth century. One of the earliest specimens of paper from linen rags which has yet been discovered is that in the possession of Pestel, professor In the University of Rmteln, in Germany; It Is a document, with the seal preserved, dated A. D. 1239, and signed by Adolithus, count of Schaumburg. But Casiri positively affirms that there are many MS3. in the Escunal, both upon cotton and linen paper, written prior to the thirteenth century. The invention appears to have ben very early introduced into England; for Dr. Prideaux assures us he ra seen a register of eome acts of John Cranden, prior of Ely, made on linen paper, which bears date in the 14th year of king EdwardJL, A. D. 1320, and in the Cottonian library are said to be several writings on this kind of paper, as early as the year 1335. The first paper mill erected in tbis kingdom is said to have been at Dirtford, in 15S3, by M. Spllman, a German. Shakspeare, however, refers it to the reign of Henry VI., and makes Jack Cade (Henry VL, part 2) say, in accusation of Lord Sandys, "Whereas, before our forefathers had no other books but the score and the tally, thou hast caused printing to be used,' and, contrary to the king, his crown and dignity, thou hast built a paper mill." 1

A Harried HfMryv' Detroit Free Press. i .' ' A man of 45, having a wooden leg and the look of one who bad suffered long with the toothache, sat down in the chair vacated by the boy, and after a smile of encourageuent began: " ' . ' "If matters don't mend pretty soon I'll either murder her or take my own life." "Dom?stio trouble, I suppose?" queried Bijah. " . . "Tnat's it, sir; and I'm getting desperate. I left heme thinking I'd jn rap from tbe dock; but I happened to thiuk of you, and so I thought I'd ask advice." "Is the bread heavy?" "B ast the bread 1 I can stand heavy bread, sloppy tea, raw meat and half cooked potatoes, but I can't and won't stand this infernal whining, complaining and jawing around!" t "Fellow traveler along the tow path of Time's broad gauge canal, I think I Bee the pint. You have been married about two years?" "Not quite." . ' "You are fifteen years older than your wife?" : "Yes eighteen." "You have a wooden leg, and fhe ehe ?" "She hasn't, but I wish she had two of 'era!" "She likes good clothes?" "You bet!'r "She likes the mad whirl of society $19 bonnets, reserved seats at the opera, $S boots, forty button kid gloves and trains on her dresses?'' "She does that's her to a dot!" exclaimed the husband. "And you prefer your home evening fire, newspaper, snow apples, game of checkers, glass of cider, cat on tbe hearth, and so on?' "That's the sort o' man I am, tir, and sue harasses me to death H!ie's ou the trot al! day and on the gad all tbe evening, and if I remonstrate she says I want to make a slave and a prisoner of her." "Don't you go along with her to the theater and parties?" "I used. to, but for the last year she's got awful particular about my wooden leg; says the public will think I was shot while stealing chickens." "Does, eh? And you sit at home and keep your heels warm by the cook stove while she gallivants?" "The same, sir; and now what shall I do about it? Something has got to be did, and that right off. I'll be hanged' to Davy Crockett if I put up with it another day. You are an older man than I am, any you've had three wives to my one, and I'll do just as you say about it." "Fello-man, you have been wrong from the beginning," slowly answered Bijah, as he looked out of tbe window m a weary way. "The man who marries a woman only half his age is a d. f. (deceived fried-cake) at the start. Youth may reverence old age, but love isn't reverence. Youth and old age don't like their taters cooked the same way, and the man who says they do is a forger. They don't see alike, and it's a cat and dog life. Then, again, you have a wooden leg, and you should have married a woman with a g ass eye or a broken noso as an offset. . In that case, neither party bas anything to twit the other about. If I was to marry again, bald headed as I am, I should look for a lady wearing No. 10 gloves and No. 9 shoes as an offset. Do you love your wife?" "Well, to be honest about it, I don't think either of us are dying of love." "Then, my friend, you go home and have a candid talk, divide up the things and part good friends. Give her the largest halt, throw in some small change, and see that she gets safe home to her mother. - By and by you can quietly secure a bill of divorce, get on some store clothes, and look oat for a woman of fifty that has the rheumatics so that she can't gad." "That's honest, is it?" "Honest Injun. If you can't live happy together don't hesitate to live bappy apart No use in any scandal or hard words, but divide up and call it a bad mistake. This killing one's self on account of domestic troubles is all bosh." ' "That's so, and TU walk straight home and begin the dividing up busines. Thank you, Bij-th; may your feet never stop growing as a reward for this." When he had departed Bijah took a short cut through the alleys, and presently gained a position from whence be could view tbe house wbere the man lived. Development did not tarry. . The husband bad not been in the house five minutes before he was suddenly rushed out again, bat and cane fiyicg, and bis share of the things, consisting of three flat-irons, a kettle and two bricks, overtook him before he could dode. "So young and so art!el" mued Bijah, as be turned away; "and yet tbat last brick thumped him between the shoulders just as purty as If I'd thrown it myself I" Trie Fox ate m Reasoaer. Nineteenth Century. For eome good instances of reasoning in animals I am also indebted to Dr. Ra, Desiring,to obtain some Arctic foxes, he set various, kinds of traps; but, as tbe foxes knew these traps from previous experience, be was unsuccessful. Accordingly he set a kind of trap with which tbe foxes in that part ot the country are not acquainted. This consisted of a loaded gun set upon a stand pointing at the bait, so tbat when tbe fox seized the bait -he discharged the gun, and thus committed suicide. In this arrangement the gun was separated from the bait by a distance of about twenty yards, and the striDg which connected the trigger with tbe bait was concealed through , out nearly its whole distance in the inow. The gun trap thus set was successful in kill ing one fox, but not in killing a second; for the foxes afterward adopted either of two devices whereby to secure the bait without injury to themselves. Que of these devices was to bite through the string at the exposed part near tbe trigger", and the other device was to burrow up to tbe bait through the snow at right angles to tbe line of fire, so that, although in this way they discharged the gun, they escaped without injury, the bait being pulled below the line of fire before the string was drawn sufficiently tight to discharge the gun. Now both of these devices exhibited a wonderful degree of what I think must fairly be called power of reasoning. I have carefully interrogated Dr. Rae on all the circumstances of the case, and he tells me that In that part of the world traps are never sot with strings, to that - there can have

been 1.0 special" association - in the foxes, minds between strings and tramps. Moreover, after the death of iox- number one, the track on tbe snow shewed tbat fox number two,, notwithstanding the temptation offered by the bait, had expended a great deal of scientific observation on tbe enn before he undertook to sever the cord. Lastly, with regard to burrowing at right angles to the line of fire Dr. Rae and a friend in whom he has confidence obwrved the fact a sufficient nnmber of times to satisfy themselves that the direction of tae burrowing was really to be attributed to thought and not to chance.
