TWO SONGS.

Tbe «OB I* gone from the r«Il«7» The air brtmtbt* frwuh andchiHt On the barn roof yellow with iicbs*

A robin is singing *briIL

Like a tawny leaf is his bosom, Like a dead leaf his wing He is glad of the coming winter

As the thrash is glad of the spring

The aooad of a shepherd's piping Comes down from a distant old, Like a ripple of running water,

As toneless, and svreet, and ookL„

The two songs mingle together Lite and unlike are they, For one sound* tired and plaintive

And one ring* proud and gay.

They take no thought of their masks, The bird and toe shepherd lad But the bird-voice thrills with rapture,

And the human note is sad.

MISS DALWELL'S GHOST.

Such a perfect gem of a house as papa secured for us that summer! "I hope Miss Dal well will like it,* mamma said simply, stopping to lift a trailing vino which lay across the path.

Miss Martha Dalweli was an "old maid11 of about S8 or 40 perhaps. A more disagreeable, crotchoty creature than she never lived, and yet mamma clung to her as though she was the pink of perfection- That, too, when the woman had no earthly claim upon her—no right to a seat at our table or a shelter beneath our roof. She had the best of everything, too the best room, the best bed, the best chamber furnlturo. At the table the cream of the food found its way to her plate— the daintiest piece of fowl and the most luscious share of the fruit

Everything that I did or said which Aid not accord with her ideas of propriety she made it her special province yid lecture me upon. She looked keenly after my love affairs, took note of the letters which came to me and was forever ^following me about of an evening with wraps and shawls. 'If she would only hate the very light of it. nrnmma, so that she would take aor troya oil in tho first train out!1 "Louise!''

She isaid it just as reprovingly as the could, dropping the vine as she jfoke, 1 was watchthg mamma put the fin bhutjf touch to the tea table, when the •3oor-b»ll sounded a peal loflg and loud through the house. ••It must be Miss DaJwoU," mamma laid, going into the hafij '^but I never know her to ring a bell like that before.'1

Sure enough, there was Miss Daiwell. shawls and travelling basket in band, standing as white as a ghost. ••Oh. my dear Judith," she began, on seoiug my mother, and then sat down on the veranda and began to cry. "What has disturbed you so, MarthnPn my mother said, in such a beautifully cool way.

A was tho answer. "What is thy matter, dear?"—and mamma put a coaxing arm about her neck. "I got such a fright!" my lady answored at last, gasping for breath.

Miss Dalweli frightoned! I put my handkerchief over my mouth to keep from laughing outright. "Just as I stepped into the veranda," iho said, "a man sprang right up in front of me. I was looking for the door-bell, when he placed a big white a and on the knob and rung—you know |ust how hard he run?—and then faded right out of my

Bight

without

taking a step. And oh, Judith, he had that ring on his middlo finger!11 ••Hush!" my mother said, laying a white hand upon her lips aud giving One quick glance backward to Phil and me. "You aro nervous, Martha probably tho driver touched tho bell for you or it might have been the gardener.11 "Sponce! Has Spence whito hands? And does ho wear a diamond ring on his middle finger?11 "Well, never mind, dear come in— tea is waiting for you."

But Miss Dalweli was not inclined to budge an inch. She turned her startled iace full upon me and spoke in such a scared tremulous voice that I began straightway to pity her. "Dear Louise, won't you look the place over, just to please me? You are not afraid of apythirtg, are you?" "Nothing in the world, Miss Dalweli" I answered. "Spence and I will look arouni"

So. In spite of mv mother's warning look. I went straight to tho kitchen to find the gardener. "Come,11 I said, "there's fun in this. Miss Dalweli has seen a ghost. LetV go aild hunt him upln

We went out upon the gravel walks together, Spence and I. he trembling so that he could but just step, and I most keenly alive for an adventure. The moon wn« shining brightly, and the shrubbery and trees were net ruffled by a breath of air. I made straight for the deepest shadows, though I cannot to this day tell why 1 did so. There was a row of trees standing close against the wall. By the farthest one, in the extreme corner, I caught a glimpse of something white, or bright, could not tell which, but I went directly to It poor, scared Speaoe and the Utile house-dog Fido(who had volunteered in my service) keeping close to my heels. -Oh, Lord, I see it! I cant go!" Spence cried of a sudden, and plumped right down in the center of a rose-bush while tldo gave a howl of fear and ran back straight to the home.

I was left alone la the field, and, 1 may as well oociese it, the petition was not an agreeable one.

I walked right up to his ghestahip. When lot he was three trees ahead of me, and I had never seen hits more. 1 started forward again, and this time caught a glimpse of a spark of ligH a something like a tiny star, burning upon Htt hand, I Mood still looked at him. I was fully penmaded that I looked upon a form that was not of the earth—earthy—a shadow with* out a substance.

"For whom are you looking?** No answer hut he turned a full Mr faoe to the light, relied the heed on which the spark of ftre burned, and pointed to the dormer window, oa which $e moonlight was tailing. •Miss Daiwenr

tongue^ I had never fainted in my life, hut now I Mt a strange, dizzy at nssatloa creeping over me My mother met tut*. At the sight of her I found my eonses again. "Yon have seen something, Louise,* she said, as she looked into my white face. "As sure as you live, mamma, I saw a ghost, and he is after Miss Dalweli. Spence sat down in a rose-bush from sheer fright, and Fido howled and took to his heels, while I alone staid till the lights were out. May we have supper now?"

The weeks went merrily. We became acquainted with other families in the vicinity, and spent the time in a continuous round of gayety. Indeed, I may as well say here that our happiest hours were spent away from our own home. The atmosphere there began to grow uncanny. Undeu the old roof by day or night there was never unbroken quiet. Doors seemed to be always opening and shutting from unaccountable draughty windows broke their lines and came crashing down shutters swune to and fro when the air was stir less dishes rattled in their places, and nothing about the house seemed to rest upon a secure foundation. 4'Look here, Aunt Judith,1* Cousin Frank began, one morning at the breakfast table, "I believe there is a ghost about this house that needs laying. I locked my door on going to bed last night, but this morning when I awoke I found it wide open.'1 •That's nothing," Letty Gray ex claimed. "Mine has served me that trick more than once, I haven't thought of being afraid." "Who said anything of fear, Miss Letty?" "I think Louise would, if she could speak," Frank answered, quickly, Springing up from the table and dash Ing a glass of water in my face.

It brought mo to my senses just as they were failing me. Close to Miss Dal well's chair I had seen a figure standing, [the same that I had seen weeks before in the shadow of the trees. "Be so kind as to let this foolish talk drop," my mother said, and Immediately began to talk eloquently of a book which she had been reading.

I left the table Miss Dalweli whispered in my ear: "You saw him again?" "Yes." "By my chair?" "By your chair! 'Come out in the garden with me," she said, putting an arm about my waist. 'I want to tell you something. This man has not come here to ham you I alono draw him hithor. Years ago he was my lover, one whom I rejected for what I thought a good cause. I had worn his ring, and returned it to him. Ho died a short time after, but before his death wrote me a letter in which he said that, above or below, on earth or in heaven, that ring should be worn on my finger again. That is all. What will come of it God only knows, out, day and night I am haunted as though I were guilty of some fearful orimfe!"

Foor Miss Dalweli!" I said, pityingly. But one night the ond came. It was moonlight again, and outside not a breezo stirred the foliage. We were sitting in groups on the wide veranda, when from Miss Dal well's lips arose such a shriek that the blood ourdled In our veins. It was followed by a second's silencq, then my mother sprung to hor side. She lay back in her chair stark and still her eyes set in fright, her jaw fallen. Not a word was jpoken, but each one of that terrified group saw upon the fourth finger of hor left hand a golden circlet with a diamond burning in its center. The poor ordature wore her lover's ring at last

All was useless Miss Dalweli was dead! Tears have passed since that night, And looking back to it through the softening mists of time I can but wonder whether or no my mother's friend was & sane woman. Be that as it may, tell you the "ower true tale11 as I sxperienced it

A Clergyman** Quandary. A clergyman of the Greek church, paying a visit to San Francisco, stopping stone of the up-town hotels, related that he was called on recently to baptize an Infant, which was said to be dying. "To my utter surprise," he said, -when I reached the house I found it had two heads. For a moment I was at a loss how to proceed, for no provision was made in the rules of the church for such a contingency. I concluded, however, that In order to be on tbe safe side it would be necessary to baptise both heads, which I did, and the child died a few minutes later."

PEW YEARS MORS.

ProeM«r% CaJeulatiena oa the Coming ot ChriaL.

Prof. C. A. L. Tot ton of Vale says that a mathematical calculation, founded on Biblical truths, proves beyond peradventure that the Messiah will come again before the year 1900. "Some papers have published," Prof. Totton said, "that I predict tho end of the world within this century. That I is an error. I don't tbink the end will come for a million years, and"I have not made any prophecy about It at all.

My remarks were neither comprehended nor even apprehended. But here is what 1 do declare, not prophecy, for the frophecv is already told in the Bible in the parables of tiie laborers in the vineyard and tbe virgins with their lamps. "A generation in its true Biblical sense is three score and 10 years, 70 years, and so the 5? generations, traced through the genealogies in the Old Testament,equal 8,990 years. Hence tho 58th generation began with 3,991 A. M. (year of the world.) The hours, mentioned in the vineyard parable are each 153 years. So multiplying' these bv tbe 12 hours, we have 1,886, which, added to 8,991, equals 5, 27 years of the world and the completion^ the vineyard parable. Then.-as the work is naturally concluded at sundown the parable of the virgin and their lamps properly follows, aud this parable, according to tbe test, represents one gen eration, 70 years, which, added to tbe 5,837, make 5,897. "Now this 5897 A M. (year of the world) corresponds to March, 18'J3. Whv? For these reasons: Ctesar pushed the beginning of the old Hebrew year from the autumnal (in September) ahead to March, England pushed the year ahead from March to January, and Pope JSxigus must have taken the beginning of 4,001 for 4,000 in computing the birth of Christ. We thus gained six montbs, plu.* three months, {)lu8 one year: equals one and threeourths years. Deduct this from 5,897, and we have 5.895J, the time at which the bridegroom will come, and will find some of the virgins with their lamps untrimmed. The 5,895Hh year since the birth of Adam will see the bridegroom, who, of course, is none other than Christ himself. "Now, what is 5395J A. M. in our A* D. years? Herod ordered all the innocents of two years and younger to be put to death, und in a short time after that the eclipse of the moon took place, It took place in the year 3998, according to Josephus/and H'-rori died in that year. Now, Herod limited his order to children of two years, because about two years before tbe Magi informed him of the birth of the Savior. So Christ was born two years before the eclipse, and the death of Herod*—two years before 3998 that is, 3996.

So now subtract 3996 (birth of Christ) from 5895J A. M., to find the A. D. year, and you leave 1899i A. D. or, in March, 1899, the bridegroom will come and will awaken ihe foolish virgins."

Wu a Great Record Once* Would be Slow Now. It is now more than thirty-one years since a trotting horse made record of 2:"20 or better in harness. The distinguished animal which per formed the feat was the mare Flora Temple, and she trotted her mile October 3 5, 185& That event made Flora Temple the talk of the country* and most persons predicted that her record would never be beaten. Yet since then 375 other trotters have beaten the 2:20 record, and each year the number greatly increases. In 1890 It was increased over 25 per cent, the number for the year being ninety-two.

This wonderful inorease in speed of our racing horses is one of the evidences of the marvelous perfection of modern methods. It is impossible to road a history of the turf even for a single year without beinar struck by tho great advance here as elsewhere. What Beemed an impossibility thirty years ago was accomplished by nearly 100 young horses last year. In view of this great increase la average speed of our racers, who shall sav that the record of a mile in 2:08} by Maud 6. will long remain the best?
