TRUE.
I pluckecl a "beautiful rose
That pleased me w ith its grace,
And a sorrow that no one knows,
And an old dead summer arose,
And looked mo in the face.
I was swept, as by a wave,
Back to a vanished hour—
Back over a narrow grave
That hides a heart so brave,
And a face so like this flower.
Oh, head of shining gold 1
Oh, heavenly eyes of blue !
Oh, love that never was told,
Oh, heart that is growing old,
And still is loyal and true.
Only a girl and a boy,
A bower—a rose—a kiss.
A wordless, silent joy,
That knew no least alloy,
And souls that were dizzy with bliss
Then sudden and rayless gloom—
Death and the winding sheot,
The years creep over thy tomb,
The roses bloom and bloom,
But still I am true, my sweet!

And they do say she'll have to go to
the poor house."
To the poor house! How dreadful!
And the children, too?" and Miss Ben-nett
shuddered.
"Yes;unless somebody'11 adopt them,
and that's not likely.
Well, I must go," the visitor went
on, rising: " I wish I could do some-thing
for her. but with my houseful of
children, I've got use for every penny
I can rake and scrape."
" I 'm sure I have, with only myself,"
said Miss Bennett, as she closed the
door. "I'm sure 1 have," she repeated
to herself as she resumed her knitting;
It's as much as I can do to make ends
meet, scrimping as I do, not to speak
of laying up a cent for sickness and old
3 ."
'But the poor house!" she said
" I wish I could help her!" and
the needles flew in and out, in and out
faster than ever, as she turned this
over in her mind. "I might give up
something," she said at last, "though
I don't know what, unless—unless,"
she said slowly, thinking of her one
luxury, "unless I give up my tea, and
it don't seem as if I could do that."
Some time the thought worked in
her mind, and finally she resolved to
make the sacrifice of her only indulg-ence
for six months and send the mon-ey
to her suffering neighbor—Mrs.
Stanley—though she had never seen
her and only heard she was in want.
How much of a sacrifice that was
you can hardly guess, you young peo-ple
who have so many luxuries.
That evening Mrs. Stanley was sur-prised
by a small gift of money -'From
a friend," said the envelone containing
it.
"Who sent it?" she asked from the
bed where.she was lying.
"Miss Bennett told me not to tell,"
said the boy, unconscious that he had
already told.
The next day Miss Bennett sat at the
window knitting, as usual'—for her
constant contribution to the poor fund
of the church was a certain number
of stockings and mitiens—when she
saw a young girl coming up to the door
of the cottage.
"Who can that be?" she said to her-self.
"I never saw her face before
Come inl" she called, in answer to a
knock. The girl entered, and walked
up to Miss Bennett.
"Are you Miss Bennett?"
asked.
"Yes," said Miss Bennett, with an
amused smile.
"Well,I'm Hetty Stanley."
Miss Bennett started, and her color
grew a little brighter.
" I 'm glad to see you, Hetty," she
said; "won't you sit down?"
"Yes, if you please," said Hetty,
taking a chair near her.
I came to tell you she began, simp-ly,
"how much we love you for—"
Oh, don't say any more!" interrup-ted
Miss Bennett: "never mind that!
Tell me about your mother and your
baby brother."
This was an interesting subject, and
Hetty talked earnestly about it, and
the time passed so quickly that, before
she knew it, she had been in the house
an hour. When she went away Miss
Bennett ask^d her to come again, a
thing she was never known to do be-fore,
for she was not fond of young
people in general.
But then Hetty's different," she
said to herself' when wondering herself
at her own interest.
"Did you thank kind Miss Bennett?"
was her mother's question as Hetty
opened the door.
"Hetty stopped as if struck. "Why,
no! I don't believe I did."
•'And stayed so long, too? What ever
did you do? I've heard she isn't fond of
people generally."
"We talked, and I think she's ever
so nice. She asked me to come again:
may I ?"
"Of course you may, if she cares to
have you. I should be glad to do some-thing
to please her.''
That visit of Hetty's was the first of
a long series. Almost every day she
found her way to the lonely cottage,
where a visitor rarely came, and a
strange intimacy grew up between the
old and youn^. Hetty learned of her
friend to knit, and many an hour they
spent knittiDg while Miss Bennett ran-sacked
her memory for stories to tell.
And then, one day, she brought down
from a big chest in the garret two of
the books she used to have when she
was young, and let Hetty look at
them.
One was "Thaddeus of Warsaw,"
and the other "Scottish Chiefs." Poor
Hetty, had not the dozens of books you
have, and these were treasures indeed.
She read them to herself, and she read
them aloud to Miss Bennett, who,
much to her own surprise, found her
'interest almost as eager as Hetty's.
New iear's was drawing near, and
strange, unusual feelings began to stir
in Miss Bennett's heart, though gener-ally
she did not think much about that
happy time. She wanted to make
Heity a happy day. Money she had
none, so she went into the garret
where her youthful treasures had long
been hidden. Prom the chest where
she had taken the books, she now took
a small box of light colored wood, with
a transferred engraving on the cover.
With a sigh—for the sight of it brought
up old memories—Miss Bennett lifted
the cover by its loop of ribbon, took out
a package of old letters, and went
down stairs with the box, taking also
a fe w bits of bright silk from a bundle
in the chest.
" I can fit it up for a work box," she
said, "and I'm sure Hetty will like
I t ."
For several days alter this Miss Ben-cnaertte
fuhlaldy hhider wsheecnre ts hew osrawk, Hwehtitcyh cosmh-e
ing. Slowly, in this way, she made a pretty needle-book, a tiny pin-cushion, and an emery bag like a big strawberry. aTdhdeend frnoemed hleesr, opwinns ,s cthanretya d staoncdk hsehre only pair of small scissors, scoured to tthhein gl aostn leyxtreme of brightness. One she had to buy—a thimble;
a n d that s h e bought f o r a penny of brass so bright it was quite as hand-some
as gold.
Yery pretty the little box looked
when full; in the bottom lay a quilted lining,, which had always been there,
a n d upon this the fittings she had
made. Besides this, Miss Bennett knit a pair of mittens for each of Hetty's brothers and sisters.

New Year's was over all too soon, and it was about the middle of Jan- uary that the time came which, all her lsihfee, sMhiosus lBd enbne ethte lphlaedss .d reSahdee d h-adw hneont
money enough to hire help, and so the on y thing she could imagine when that should come was her special hor-ror—
the poor house.

she r a n after ihe neighbors-and the d o c
tor and bustled about the house as if she belongs to it.
Mis Bennett was not dead—she had a slight stroke of paralysis, and though
s a e was soon better and would be able
t o talk a n d probably to knit a n d pos- sibly to get about the house, she would neyer be able to live alone and do every-thing
for herself, as she had done. So the doctor told the neighbors who came in to help, and so Hetty heard, as she listened eagerly for n e w s.
"Of course sne can't live here any longer, she'll have to go to a hospital,"
said o n e woman.
"Or to the poor house^ more likely,"
said another.
"She'll hate that," said the first tshpee apkoeor.r h"oIu'vsee ."h eard her shudder over

"Hoity-toity 1 who's to prevent?"
asked the second speaker, turning look of disdain on Hetty.
" I am," was the fearless answer.
I know all Miss Bennett's ways, and I
coahn tHaektet yc,a rein odfi ghnearn, tlayn;d Ia nwd,il lt,u" rwneinngt suddenly, she was surprised to see Miss Bennett's eyes fixed on her with an eager, questioning look.
There! she understands! she's bet-ter!"
cried Hetty. "Mayn't I stay and take care of yon, dear Miss Bwxnetti"' she asked, running up to the bed.
•'Yes you may," interrupted the doctor, seeing the look in the patient's face; "but you musn't agitate her now,
And now, my good women," turning
atolo ntghe others, " I think she can get with her young friend here, whom I happen to know is a womanly young girl, and will be attentive and careful."
They took the hint and went away, and the doctor gave directions to Hetty lwehavate to do, telling her she must not regul arMlyis sin Bsteanllneedtt. So she was now as nurse and house- keeper.
Days and weeks rolled by. Miss Bennett was able to be up in her chair,
tthoe talk and knit, and to walk about house, but was not able t o be left

s h e said—"an o l d paper, a n d it has writing on it.'
; "Bring it to me," said Miss Bennet; perhaps it's a letter I have forgot-ten."
Hetty brought it.
"Why, it's father's writing!" said she, looking closely at the faded writ-ing;
"and what can it mean? I never saw it before. It says: 'Seek and ye shall find'—that's a Bible text. And
what is this under it? 'A word to the wise is sufficient.' I don't understand— he must have put it there himself, for I never took that lining out—I thought it wasfastened. What can it mean?"

"Part of the place I let John Thomp-son,
Hetty, and that rent is all I have mtoe live on. I don't know what makes think of old times so, to-night."
" I know," said Hetty; "it's that pa- per, and I know what it reminds me
of," she j uddenly shouted, i n a way very
tuhneurse,u"a l awndith her. " I t ' s that tile over she jumped up and went
thoa nthd eo sni dteh eof the fireplace and put her tile she meant.
On each side of the fireplace was a row of tiles. They were Bible sub-jects,
and Miss Bennett had often told
Hetty the story of each one, and also
the stor es she used to make up ahout
them, when she was young. The one
pHiectttuyr e hoafd her hand on now bore the a woman standing before a closed door, and below her the words of
the vellow bit of paper:

" I always felt there~ was something
different about that," said Hetty ea-gerly,
"and yon know vou told me
your father talked to you about it—
about what to seek in the world when
he had gone away, and other things."
"Yes: so he did," said Miss Bennett,
thoughtfully; "come to think of it, he
said a great deal about it, and in a
meaning way. I don't understand it,
she said slowly, turning it over in her
mind.
" I do!" cried Hetty, enthusiastically,
" I believe you are to seek here! I be-lieve
it loose!" and she tried to
it. "Oh, Miss Bennett, may I take it
out?"
Miss Bennett had turned deadly
pale. "Yes," she gasped, hardly
knowing what she expected or dared to
hope.
A sudden prsh from Hetty's strong
fingers, and the tile slipped out one
side and fell to the floor. Behind it
was an opening into the brick work.
Hetty thrust in her hand.
"There's something in there!" she
said, in an awed tone.
'•A light I" said MisS Bennett,
hoarsely. There was not a candle m
the house, but Hetty seized a brand
from the fire, and held it up, and looked
in.
" I t looks like baga—tied up," she
cried. "Oh, come here yourselfl"
The old woman hobbled over and
thrust her hand into the hole, bringing
out what was once .a bag, but which
fell to pieces in her hands and with it
—oh, wonder I—a handful of gold pieces
which fell with a jingle on the hearth
and rollec} every way.
' 'My father's money I Oh, Hetty!''
was all she could sav, and she seized a
chair to keep from tailing while Hetty
was nearly wild and talked like a crazy
person.
"Oh, goody I goody! now you can
have things to eat! and we can have a
candle! and you won't have to go to
the poor house!"
"No, indeed, you dear child!" cried
Miss Bennett, who had found her
voice. "Thanks to you—you blessing—
I shall be comfortable now the rest of
my days. And you! oh! I shall never
forget you! Through you has everything
good come to me."
_ "Oh, but you have been so good to
me, dear Miss Bennett!"
" I should never have guessed it, you
precious child! If it had not been for
your quickness I should have died and
never fo;md it."
"And if you hadn't given me the
box, it might have rusted away in that
chest."
" I thank God for everything, child.
Take money out of my purse and go
buy a candle. We need not save it for
bread now. Oh,.child!" she interrup-ted
herself, "do you know, we shall
have everything we want to-morrow!
Go I gol I want to see how much there
is."
The candle bought, the .gold was

be more than enough to give Miss Ben-nett
a comfortable income without
touching the principal. It was put
back and the tile replaced, as the
safest place to keep it till morning,
when Miss Bennett intended to put it
into a bank.
rsut though they went to bed, there
was not a wink of sleep for Miss Ben-nett,
for planning what she should do,
There were a thousand things she
wanted to do first. To get clothes for
Hetty, to brighten up the old house,
to hire a girl to relieve Hetty, so that
the dear child should go to school, to
train her into a noble woman—all her
old ambitions and wishes for herself
sprang into life for Hetty. Tor not a
thought of her future life was separate
from Hetty.
In a very short time everything was
changed in Miss Bennett's cottage.
She had p ablicly adopted Hetty, and
announced her as her heir. A girl had
been installed in the kitchen, and
Hetty, in pretty new clothes, had begun
school. Fresh paint inside and out,
and many new comforts, made the old
house charming and bright. But noth-ing
could change the pleasant and
happy relations between the two friends,
and a more contented and cheerful
household could not be found any-where.
Happiness is a wonderful doctor,
Miss Bennet grew so much better that
she could travel, and when Hetty had
finished her school days they saw a little
of the world before they settled down
to a quiet, useful life.
"Every comfort on earth I owe to
you," said Hetty, one day, when Miss
Bennett had proposed some new thing
to add to her enjoyment.
" A h , " dear Hetty! how much more
do I owe to you! But for you I should
no doubt be at this moment a shiv,
ering pauper in that terrible poorhouse-while
some one else would be living in
this dear old house. And it all comes,"
she added softly, "of that one unselfish
thought, of that one self-denial for
others."
The Story o f a B r a v e M a n.
Thomas Tate Tobens, of Costilla county, is visiting Ex-Governor Wil-liam
Gilpin, of Colorado. Mr. Tobens,
who is 60 years o f age, came to Colora-do
in 1837. Born in St. Louis in 1824 Mr. Tobens, when only 13 years old, gave rein to his restless fancy and came
out with a train to the far West, Though a mere boy he was hardy and acodumriargeedous and his sturdy qualities were by his superiors. He was early ibdeecnatmifeied with the military service and a sort of protege o f Colonel St. Yrain, who figures prominently i n the military annals of Colorado. In his
capacity of guide and scout he passed
through many perilous places and, Othello-like, had many "hair-breadth 'scapes i'th'imminent deadly breaoh."
From time to time he indulged in trad-1 like to look at l i t afterwards."

A merchant in Hew York was asked:
"How many eggs were brought in by the German steamers?"
About 1,400 cases, or say 80,000

"Aré they limed?"

camp was near. My men became dis-satisfied,
however, and wanted to turn
back. I urged them on and shortly
thereafter I saw some crows flying in a
circle just ahead of us. I told my men
that the bandits were camped where the
crows were flying, and cautioned them
to be on the alert and have their guns
ready. We had reached the brow of a
small hill, and on the other side were a
lot of young pines. I went ahead
creeping slowly. Finally I raised up
and saw something move. I didn't
know what it was, but a moment later
I heard voices. The Mexican language
was being spoken and I was sure by the
bandits. I crept forward and soon saw
a man, whom I took from the descrip-tion
I had heard to be Espinosa. I
raised my rifle, a muzzle loader made
to order and a fine gun, but the man
moved about and went to a tree, so I
dare not shoot for fear of missing him.
He still kept talking and I motioned
the boys to come up. Just then the
bandit stepped forward so that I could
see his whole side, and, aiming at his
heart, I fired. He fell backward be-hind
some logs crying "Jesus, favor
me; I 'm killed," at the same time cry-ing
to his companion, "Escape." Then
Romara, whom we had not yet seen,
was observed running from us. I told
the boys to shoot and they all fired but
did not stop him,
"By this time I had loaded my rifle
and as the fugitive was climbing a log
I fired and 'he fell, 2iot knowing but

grows the more questions he asks. The oldest boy I ever knew was fifty-seven
years old, and I went to school to him, and he did ask the longest, hard-est,
crookedest questions that no boy
could answer. And now your boy, ceas- ing to ask questions, begins to answer them, until you stand amazed at the
breadth and depth of his knowledge.
He wants to be a missionary—or a. pirate. So far as he expresses any pre-ference
he would rather be a pirate,
