POOR BEAST.

Poor beasts that every day we leeo'er-d riven

Poor beasts, we see them toiling on the road While threats and curses

freely flow,

Tgainst

Now beneath the cruel, heavy load, Now shrinking from the oft struck cow ardiy blow. The dumb brute bears no malice Is his heart

For all the sufferings be must undergo Ill-treated, yet he bravely plays his part, And meekly bears the heritage of wow. 1 watched the two—the man that held the

The bridled beast that at his biddiag ran And asked which was the nobler oi the twain, ..

The noble beast or the ignoble man? I marked a gay yoong horse flash prancing by.

And wished to make those powers ef speed my own, Next year I saw him worn with cruelty

To-clay he dropped down dead, amass of flesh) ess bone. I count the strong man weak that does Hot dare

To check a wretch from torturing the dumb Who scoflfe at mercy, and whom naught can scare

But dread of punishment to swiftly come. Shall we on whom a gracious Ood bestows Heaven*8 hope to cheer us in life's darkest hour, Be more impatient of our daily woes

Than they who lack such hope, such heart-sustaining power?

Joseph's Brother.

BT BRET HAKTE.

They didn't call him Tom, or Jack, or larry, but always spoke of him as 'Joseph *s Brother,' And it wasJuBt as Bingdlarthat they didn't say'Joe,'Instead of 'Joseph,' when spej&ing of or to the man.

The two had a wagon in the band drag

ing itself toward the Black Hills day day and mile by mile. They messed by themselves, scarcely spoke to each other, and their lives and their actions km were a sort of mystery to the rest, who 1 were a jolly set, drinking, carousing, fighting, playing cards, and wishing for a brush with the Indians. Some said that Joseph was a fugitive from justice, and that he wouldn't fraternize with them for fear of betraying himself when interrogated. Others thought he felt too proud to mix with such society, and between the two theories he had nearly all the men thinking ill of him before the wagon train was four days' travel from Cheyenne. 'He keeps his brother hidden away in the wagon as if a little sunshine would kill the boy,' growled one of a dozen gold hunters Bitting around their campfire in the twilight. 'Perhaps he thinks our language isn't high-toned enough—blast his eyes!' exp* claimed another. 'Ain't we all bound to the same place —all sharing the same dangers—one as good as another?' demanded'a broad shouldered fellow from San Antonio. 'Yes, yes!'they shouted. •Then don't it look low-down mean for this 'ere man Josenb to edge away from us as if we were pizen?

he's so

mighty refined and high-toned, why

didn't be come out here in a balloon?' There was a laugh from the circle, and the Texan went on: •I don't purtend to be an angel, but I know manners as well as the next. I believe that man Joseph is a reg'lar starch, dy to wilt right down as soon I pint my finger at him, and I'm goin' over to

his wagon to pull his nose!' •That's the game, Jaok! Go in, old fellow! 'JRali for the man from Texas!' yelled tbe gold hunters as they sprang to their feet. 'Come tight along and see the fun/ continued the Texan, as he led tho way toward Joseph's wagon.

The vehlclo formed one in the circle, and at a small fire a few feet from the hind wheels sat Joseph and his brother, eating their frugal supper. As the crowd came near, tbe boy snrung up and climbed into the cove Joseph slowly rose up them anxiously and inquiringly. 'See here. Mr, Joseph what's your other name!' began the Texan as he halted before the lone man, 'we have oome to tho conclusion that you and thai booby brother o' yours don't liko our style.. Are we kerect?' •I have nothing against any of you/ quietly replied Joseph. 'The Journey thus far has been very pleasant and agreeable to us,' 'But you hang off—you don't speak to us!' persisted Jack. •I am sorry it I have incurred any man's ill-will.« I feel friendly toward you all.' •O, you do, eh?' sneered the Texan, feeling that he was losing ground. 'Well, it's my opinion that you area sneak!'

sprung up and area wagon, while up and looked at

Joseph's face turned white, and the men saw a dangerous gleam in his eyes. He seemed about to speak or make some movement, when a soft voice from the wagon called out: 'Joseph, Joseph!'

A sort light came into the man's face. The Texan noticed it, and, slapping Joseph's fitoe, he blurted out: «Ii ye ain't a coward, ye'U. resent that, surer

A boyish figure sprung from the wagon and stood beside the lone man.

small hand was laid on his shoulder, and a voice whispered in his ear: •Bear that insult for my sake!'

Then was a full minute in which no one moved. Joseph's face .looked ghostly white in the gloom, and they oould aee him tremble. •He's a coward, jost as I thought!' said the Texaa, aa be turned away* others &>Uowed him, some feeling ashamed, and others surprised or granfled, and by-and-by the word had reached every wagon that Joseph and Joseph's brother were oo wards.

Next mornlngt when the wagon train was ready to move, the Captain pawed near Joseph's wagon on purpose to say: 'If there are any cowards in this train, they needn't timvel with uaany further.'

It was a cruel throat, Joseph was harnessing his horses, and the brother

but just then a voice called out. «JX,n't mind it, Joseph we'll go on alone.'

The train moved off without them, some ot the gold hunters taunting and joklng,«nd others ftarftol that the two would oe butchered bythe Indians before the day was over, when the whitetopped wagons were so far away that they seemed ne larger than his*hand, Joseph moved along on the trail, his fees stern, and so busy with his *w that he) did not hear the words:

•Never mind. Joseph we are trying to do right.*

That night, when the wagon train of 10 gold hunters went Into oamp, they could not see the lone wagon, though many of the men, ashamed of their con-

nld

Ing hearts

duct, looked long and earnestly for it. They had seen Indiaussfar off, snd they knew that the rod detils would pounce down upon a single team as soon as they sighted it.

Darkness came midnight came, and the sentinels heard nothing but tbe stamping of tho horses and tbe howls of the ooyotes. At two o'clock the report of rifles and the fierce yells of Indians floated up through the little valley, and tbe camp was aroused in a moment. 'The devils have jumped in on Joseph and his brother!' whispered ono of the men, as he stood on a knoll and bent his bead to listen. 'Good 'nuff! Cowards have no bus! ness out here!' growled tho Texan.

Tbe first speaker wheeled, struck the ruffian a sleage hammer blow in the face, and then, running to the horses, cried out: 'Come on! come on! A dozen of us can be spared for the rescue!'

Sixteen men swept down the valle like the wind. The firing and tbe yell lng continued, proving that the man who had been called a coward was making heroic fight. In ten minutes tbey came upon the lone camp, made light as day by the burning wagon. Fifty feet from the bonfire, and hemmed in by a circle of dancing, leaping, howling sav ages, was Joseph's brother standing over Joseph's dead body. The gold hunters heard tbe pop! pop! pop! of the boy's revolver ss tbey burst into view, and the next moment they were chargin down upon the demons, using rifle an revolver with terrible effeot. In two minutes not alive Indian was in sight. Joseph's brother stood over tbe body, and an empty revolver in his band. The men cheered wildly as tbey looked around, but tbe boy looked into their faces without exultation, surprise or gladness.

There were three dead Indians beside the wagon, killed where the fight commenced, and the corpses in front of Joseph's brother numbered more than the victims of the sixteen men. 'Is Joseph badly hurt?' asked one of tbe men, as he halted his horse beside the boy. 'He fe dead!' whispered the white-faced defender.

He is? God forgive me for the part took last night!' 'You called him a coward!' cried Joseph's brother, "and you are to blame for this! Was he a coward? Look there! and there! and there! We drove them back from the wagon—drove them clear out here! Joseph is dead! You are his murderers!'

Every man was near enough to hear his voice and note his action as he picked np the rifle of an Indian and sent a bullet through his own bead. With exclamations of grief and alarm trembling on their lips, the men sprung from their saddles. The boy was dead—dead as Joseph—and both corpses were bleeding from a dozen wounds.

We'll carry 'em up to the train and have a burial in the morning,' said one of the men, and the bodies were taken up behind two of the horsemen. Tbey did have a burial, and men looked into the grave with tears in their eyes, for they had discovered that Joseph's brother was a woman—yes a woman with the whitest throat and softest hands. It might have been Joseph's wife, or sister, or sweetheart. No one could tell that but they could tell how tbey had wronged him. and they said, as they stood around the grave, 'We hope tbe Lord won't lay it up agin us!'

The Old Housed

The old house' was slowly dropping to pieces about tbe young people. Yet, for all that, they were as happy as though it were a palace building np about them. Youth requires few conditions it is as sufficient to itself as Eden it is only tho unsatisfactory middle years, to which the loveliness of the virgin world has become a twice-told tale, that are insip id.

In truth, it should have been enough to content any of us simply to be Rose Marks—the rose no rosier, tho lily no snowier, Bunshine not more golden than her hair, more dazzling than her smile a lovely little soul and body enjoying everv moment of her life, and making it precious to every one within her influence. She neve- thought of .grumbling that the house was shabby ana .the food scanty, but contented herself with bread when there was no dainty, and when the roof leaked moved her bed to another room where it did not leak so badly. Every timber in the aid house was dear to her, and she never asked for a better. No wonder everybody loved Rose Marks in general, and her cousin Roger loved her in especial not her cousin, that is, if yon demand the literal fact, but her stepmother's nephew, yet always called a cousin, and always loved like a brother. A brother? Well, no, net exaotly. People are not so very apt to think whether or no their brothers will like this ribbon or that flower, to blush damask if their brothers catch them gazing at themselves intently, to pout at an inattention from their brothers, or to have their hearts beat like wildfire at the touch of the brother's hand.

These two children were alone in the house now, for Mr. Marks and his wife had followed the elder children, who had died when tbe great typhus epidemic raged somo ten years ago tbe old servant, who had never forsaken them, had gone her way too at last, and Lonis, one day taking the ancient plate, sold it for enough to insure the house for aterm of five years, and formally resigning all right and title in it to Rose, had bade her and Roger good bye and had gone ro seek hia fortune. So Rocekept the old bouse as she oonld, and Roger paid her little salary as tern of the only store in tbe village. Rose cried every

rular board from his imeahe took It, bnt as all the rest she possessed happened to be the cow and the garden and what the Brass sold for, there was nothing, of course, to do but take it. How many times Rose had resolved to go oat by the day and do sewing since she had neen sixteen. *1 oould earn two hundred dollars a year easily, Roger,'she would say. aa she was mapping out to Roger In the evening, at the other side of the table where he was st udying.

Why had fate fixed him so? he was asking^ Why was there no chance for him? Why would no opening offer that he mightenter and gain a promise of sufficient Income tkat would justify bim in telling Rose what he felt—all these wild wishes and bitter longings? Notf a moneyless clerk In a village store, he bad no right to bind her fortunes with his, to bring upon her, even if she would, the weary cares and heavy weight of marriage with a man so destitute.

For luck, even should she be kind should they marry—ah!—they would have no more than they had now, and as tbe years came and brought tbeir burdens, it would slowly bow Rose into tbe grave. And she knew it, be thought yes, she knew it. That was what this desire to get out into tbe world meant—to break up their way of life, to be off and away from him. And then Roger groaned and clenched his fists, and asked himself tbe whole ground of questions over again. Yes, why was he, of all men, so placed that nothing could ever accrue to him? no beip reach him? no one to hold a hand to lift him up? .Inst suffered to plod along from band'to mouth when a little capital would put bim into such a heaven? If be «»d bnt a couple of thousand dollars to start with, be oould open a second store here. He knew tbe whole struoture of trade there was quite business enough for another without the first he could even make new business. He knew just where he would plant his stock of goods and put up bis sign. And then in spite of himself, came the picture of tho blessed time, when work done, he should go home, home to Rose, fair, joyous, his, by her fire, looking out for him, springing to meet him the scene grew so real it seemed to Roger he could feel her sweet breath on his face, her warm arms about him he held her just one daring moment in this walking dream, and then he sat down upon the step and hid bis face in his hands as if he would hide, too, the scalding tears that must have way.

Two thousand dollars—he might just as well wish for a silver mine! Just as he said the words to himself, a soitclear radiance was welling up over the dusky garden, and. as be raised his head again after awhile, there came the moon softly floting up above the horizon of the loug interval below. It cheered him inexplicably, like an omen, a promise he stood up and struck one palm into aco theA "I will have her yet!" he cried and went into his dreams. "Can you think of anything, Rose, where we can economize?', he said next day. "Economize?" she repeated gayly. "For what? In what? With what?"

motion, gentle spirit—and he said himself that it was enough for anyone to live in tbe same world with such a thing as she.

But at length it occurred to him that this was enough of star gazing. If be were ever to be a man, fit to win her, ev£n if unable, he must cease bis day dreams and work to work he must sleep. He returned to his room, and all at once, as if something stung him at every pore, he staggered hack. What strange odor was tbis? What strange atmosphere after tbe cool night fragrance The room was full of a thick, pungent cloud—It was the smoke of burning. 'Fire! fire I fire!' he shouted, and sprang through the door for Rose's room, only to be met by such a turbid mass of moving darkness and noisomeness and suffocation, as to stagger back again a single moment before it. But almost immediately he was bounding through it. throwing open the doors between, and all at once, as be opened tbe third one, a great blinding glare fell from above, and there was the monstrous horror of flame towering and soaring, like an evil spirit that wiped matter from existence.

But Roger did not pause to think what it was like he only thought that It waslsweeping through an upper floor, that in a moment tbe floor must fall, that be must reach Rose's room. The bouse bad been struck by lightning in the storm, and tbe smouldering spark bad been making headway in the lonely upper rooms all the delicious summer evening, all tbe time that he bad been leaning on tbe balcony drinking in tbe balmy air, all the time that Rose bad been folded in ber sweet slumber, all tbe time be bad been bearing that tiny crackle, and thinking it was tbe rain dripping from the eaves upon tbe wa.k. Another moment and over its dull roar came a cry, 'Oh, Roger! Rogei! Ob, my dearest, my dearest! where are you? do you know it?' And Rose, with a cloak thrown over her, burst through tbe door, and was caught in his arms at he leaped down the stairs at one vault and bore her out into safety.

They had barely reached the gate when tbe roof fell in, and though the neighbors came thronging round, and tbe engines were presently at play, they stood there with tbe rest, and saw that it was

of no use, and

Rose stood np moving one thing and another nervously about tbe table her lips trembled, aud all at once she ran out of the room. "Ob, he cares nothing for me he despises me he' disregards me he would take nothing from me! Because it is mine, it is not his, and be wants notb ing of me." "She takes no interest in it she doesn't care a whit whether I go into business or not it matters nothing to her," he sighed. "She flashes out of the room and about her business as indifferently as though 1 was the merest stranger at the gate." And he jammed on his hat and went to his work, head down, hands in his pocket, and gloomy as the grave. All day long* that rosy, dimpled face flitting between him and every customer all day long the awful figures, $2(000 writing themselves on the wall before him like a Mene, Mene Tekel, Upbarsin, and when, late in the day, a cloud slowly rose and hung over the fields and marshes, till all the sky was purple and all tbe land was in shadow, and low thunder began to growl in its breast, and sharp lightning trom it, it seemed to Roger only some* thing in accord with his feelings, for it fitted nature to be as dark as his own outlook.

'!rhey are gone,'said Rose, 'witheverything else. We are utterly penniless.'

It was just a fortnight after that, when Roger entered Mrs. Vance's house one uight, Rose ran and clapped a bit of paper before his -eyes so closely that he oould see notblng. When he stepped back, she was holding it over his hps, and then half bashfully tiptoeing up and kissing him through it -Do you see what it it?' she said. 'It is a check for |2 500 from the Safety Insurance Company, who have taken the circumstances Into account. It is the insurance on tbe buildings, and tbe lands are still left. The old house is taking care of us yet, Roger. Two thousand for your busi ness, and the rest,' she whispered, sivly, and blushing like a rose indeed, 'to fur* nish the new house.'
