WHEN I SEE THEE AGAIN.

The time I saw thee last
The earth was locked in winter, hard and white
How pitiless the ground beneath the feet;
The sharp, keen grating of the biting sleet,
The low bleak sky smit with the general blight,
The brown pools. stiff and glassed.

Thy face was frozen fast,

And thou wert harder than a thing ice wrought;
Thy lips were looked upon the word I prayed;
Whiter than sleet thy hands above thee laid;

They would not ope to hold the bloom I brought—-

The time I saw thee last.

When I see thee again
‘Twill be eternal summer; flowers will blow;
There will be yellow glory in the air,
\Vith melody and scent spilled everywhere;
The golden paths .’twecn fruited trees will glow,
And heaven will sing "Amen.”

, Thy face will glisten then;
Not hard and rigid as I saw it last;
Beneath its crown thy angel brow shall shine,
With warm, white bliss. to greet the glow of
mine,
And thou wilt reach thy hands and hold me fast,
When I see thee again.
—New Orleans Times Democrat.

.2 FYSTERIOUS FALL.

Being under a strict promise not to men-
tion what- I am about to relate until Iliad
permission from my friend, and that per-
mission having now een given, I hasten
to tell of a most peculiar occurrence that
has been known to only a few.

Chicago is a city where they build their
structures after the style of the Tower of
Babel—or, in other words, they seem to try
to reach the sky or heavens. Some of their
buildings rise seventeen and eighteen
stories in the air.

Last J unc I first came to Chicago, and,
with a friend, went to see a mutual friend
who was engaged in the construction of a
large building.

\Ve found him in the seventh story.

He was a young man, bright, energetic,
and a great athlete. He also was in the
habit of playing practical jokes.

“Then we reached the room he was in
he had just leaped upon the window sill
in order to lower the sash, on account of a
storm coming up, and he told us that he
would be with us in a minute.

As he reached the sash he turned and
begged us, for God’s sake, to catch him
and pull him down or he would pitch out.

“'0 simply laughed, thinking he was try-
ing to fool us.

He pleaded and pleaded, and the more he
pleaded the more we enjoyed it.

To seemed as if he could not move, and
iboked as if he was trying with all his
power to resist falling out.

My friend turned to me and said:

“Jim‘s playing his part well. He ought
to go on the stage.”

“He is, indeed,” I replied; “but he won’t
get the laugh on us this time.”

I had no sooner said this than—~grcat
heavensl—witli one unearthly yell Jim
dashed out of the window to certain death;
for we could see no way he could escape it
after such a frightful fall.

For over a minute we stood, looking lior-
rified at each other, not knowing what to
do, and not being able to speak or move.

IVith a simultaneous loud cry of dis-
tressed horror, we made a rush down stairs
for the street, to find our poor, mangled
dead friend.

Down we ran, almost falling at every
step we took, until we reached the street;
but there, to our utter amazement, we saw
nothing of our friend, and there was no
commotion.

The pedestrians were walking as usual,
as if nothing had happened.

Near by was a policeman, and we hur—
ried up to him and asked him if he had
seen a man fall out of the window a few
minutes ago, and what had been done with
him.

He looked at our frightened and death-
like countenances and said:

“\Vhat are you giving me? Are you
crazy, or trying to impose on me?”

“Our friend has fallen from the seventh
story of that building, and we want to find
his body,” we persisted.

“Better go home and go to bed and get
up sober!” sneered the officer, who would
not believe our statement.

\Ve hung around the place till night,
more or less questioning different persons,
the patrolman cying us suspiciously when—
ever he saw us.

V’Ve scarcely slept that night, but talked
and wondered over the mystery.

The next day we returned to the building
and made more inquiries, but to no pur—
pose.

The last time Jim had been seen was
When he was going up stairs to that fatal
room.

‘Ve then went to his boarding house, but
Ihey had no information to give us. He

 

 

had not been taken home, and they had not ,
seen nor heard from him since the day be- '-

fore.

“Ben, what does it mean?” said my
friend, addressing me.

“I don’t know,” I replied. “Let us go to
police headquarters and try to find out.”

W'lien we reached there and told our bus-
iness they looked at us in amazement and
suspicion, and assured us no such accident
had ever happened, or they would have
heard of it long ago.

“ e dld “0t know “h t to do, £01 no one 3 Iroma baenclor to a Benedict; and that

believed our story. So we left, sad and
sick at heart.

“Ben,” said my friend, “we both saw Jim
fall out of the window, did we not?”

“Most assuredly we did, for it could not
have been a hallucination,” I replied.

Days passed, but no tidings of Jim could
we find.

At last we again presented ourselves at
police headquarters, and stated that Jim
had been missing for more than two weeks,
and that something should be done.

They then listened to us, but would not
believe anything about his having fallen
out of the window.

The chief delegated a detective to look
the matter up, and be accompanied us to
the building.

“When we arrived there he got up on the
window sill and looked out and said:

“NO one could fall out such a distance
without being instantly killed; and if any
one ever did fall out he would have been
found. But what is this? Come up here!”

We both got up on the Window sill and
looked out: He pointed to a lot of tele-
graph wires that ran past the building
some three stories below.

“Look! do you see how those wires are
bent?” he asked.

We did look, and saw the wires bent as

' if, some heavy body had come in contact
with them. '
' “Gentlemen, your story may be true,

eater all. . It’s getting interesting. Now.

._ O'e then went to the house in question;

 

 

Before leaving I took another look at
the wires and roof,‘ and saw something
Shining in the water gutter at the edge of
the roof.

I picked it up, and to my surprise Ifound
it was a Masonic mark, and, upon exam-
ination, discovered Jim’s name engraved
upon it.

I called the officer and my friend back,
and told them I had discovered a clew, and
showed them the Masonic mark.

“70 then came to the conclusion that
when he struck the wires with such force
the rebound had thrown him upon the
roof.

But where did he go then?

We made a diligent search and interro-
gated people in the house, but could get no
information.

“W ell,” said the officer, “this is a mys-
tery—as great a one as that of the killing
Of Doctor Cronin. Of course he must be
somewhere, living or dead. But where?
How could he get away from here without
anyone knowing it? IVe have asked every-
one, but to no purpose. “To will try again
and see what we can glean.”

After further questioning and cross ques-
tioning, ”and not being able to discover any-
thing new, we were about leaving, when a
beautiful, intelligent looking young lady
appeared, whom we had not before seen.

“Who is that young lady?” asked the
Ofiiccr Of another of the inmates.

“Oh, she is old Doctor Simmons’ daugh-
ter, that lives up in the garret!” was the
answer. “Her father is a queer old man,
and never goes out of the house, and she
only goes out to get something to eat.
They have lived here for years. The doctor
owns the house, and rents out all but the
garret, where he and his daughter live.”

“Well, we must examine her, for for-
mality’s sake at least, but I don’t Suppose
she knows anything about your friend,”
the officer said to us, as he turned to the
young lady, and continued: “MiSS, did you
see, or do you know, anything about an
accident a gentleman met with here about
two weeks ago?’ ’

The young lady stopped, looked fright-
ened, and her face flushed to such an extent
as to make it noticeable to every one stand-
ing around as she answered:

“I—I—do I have to answer?”

“Yes, you will have to answer,” replied
the officer, with an eager look. “What do

. you know?”

“l—I—don’t know. I cannot tell.”

“Now see here, miss, you must answer
or I shall have to lock you up until you do
answer.”

“I—I—am afraid. My father”—

Here she stopped again.

I then spoke to her in a kind way, and
told her that the gentleman who had met
his death was my most particular friend,
and that I would like to get some informa-
tion in regard to him, and that no harm
could come to‘ her or her father if she told
all she knew.

“He—is—not dead!” she stammerod.

“What! not dead?” we cried. “Where is
he?”

“Upstairs with my father, who is attend-
ing to him. He is too weak to move.”

At this we made one bound to the stairs,
the young lady calling after us not to harm
her father.

‘Wc pushed into the room, and there we
found our friend lying on a comfortable
couch, with an old, decrepit man bending
over him in the act of administering some
medicine.

The old man did not seem surprised at
our abrupt entrance, but turning to us,
with his finger to his lips, motioned us to
retire.

It was done in such a commanding way
that instinctively we backed out and he
followed.

When the door was closed he told us to
speak in whispers, for the gentleman was
very sick.

He then told us, in his own peculiar way,
that during one afternoon, a little over two
weeks ago, he and his daughter had been
startled by a loud crash in the loft above
the room they were sitting in; that a large
piece Of ceiling had broken through, and
that on looking up they had been horrified
at seeing a man’s arm hanging through the
opening.

Upon going up to investigate he had
found the gentleman who was now lying
in the room, and supposed lie was dead.

He, with the assistance of his daughter,
had brought him down, and after a careful
examination concluded that life was not
extinct. He being a physician, though not
having practiced for a number of years, de-
cided that, as the Lord had sent him a pa—
tient, it was his will that he should save
his life, and so he had devoted all his time
and skillto accomplish that object.

Now he was satisfied that with the most
tender and proper nursing the patient
would recover, though no one could be al-
lowed to see him for several days for fear
all chance of recovery would fail. And this
was the reason he had so positively forbid-
den his daughter to say anything about it,
even to the people in the ‘house.

The mystery was now solved. Jim had
struck the telegraph wires in falling from
the window, and the rebound had thrown
him into the open scuttle of the doctor’s
house, which had been left open to let in
some air.

There is nothing more to be told except
that in due course of time Jim recovered;
that the fall, so miraculous, elevated him

the doctor’s handsome daughter and Jim’s
gentle nurse is now Mrs. Jim—Emerson

Friends" in Misfortune.

A touching incident which was seen on a
Boston street one cold day illustrates the
way in which suffering begets charity. It
was one of the clieerlcss windy days when
the air is full of snowflakes while yet it
seems too cold to snow in earnest. ’

On a back street was an iron plate in the
sidewalk, around which thin streams of
steam arose. On this bit of warm surface
cowered a morsel of a girl, not more than
four or five years old, pinched with cold
and hunger and most scantily dressed.

As she crouched over the warm plate an
ill looking cur came drifting down the
street. He hesitated as he came into the
circle of warm air, and with a wistful whine
looked up into the face of the girl. Instant-
ly the little thing moved over to make room
for her fellow waif.

“Poor doggiel” she said, hugging her for-
lorn shawl closer about her, “is he cold,
too?”

And the two comrades in misfortune
shared together the hospitality of ,the iron
plate in perfect good fellowship.——-Youth’s

HOW THEY PROPOSED.
SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS OF POP-
PING THE QUESTION.

An Experience Meeting in a New York
Hotel—Love and hicrcenary Matches.
The Proposal with a. Joke String Tied

to It—Tlie Ring with Two Meanings.

“One of the recent revolutions in fiction,”
said a bald headed, jolly old fellow, who
sat in the center of a group that filled the
window of a Broadway hotel the other day,
“is the way in which the heroes propose
marriage to the heroines. In this genera—
tion the novelists make short work of it,
but whether they are any truer to life than
those who wrote and went to their reward

'before them is an-Open question.”

“Well, how did you do it yourself?” said
another of the group. “Tell the truth now,
and then we’ll be able to judge, perhaps,
how near the novelists come to the real
thing.”

“That’s just a little too pcrsonal,”laughed
the Old fellow, “and besides, what could
you determine from one instance? But
I’ll tell you what I will do. I will relate
the incidents of a proposal which I know
to be true, names of the parties to it not to
be asked for, if each one of you will do the
same; absolute truth the only condition.”

“Agreed, agreed!” was the chorus. “You
make the start.”

LOVE AND .8100 A YEAR.

“Well,” said the old fellow, with a twin-
kle in his eye, “I remember a nice young
man around ,our parts some forty years
ago, who was Of an affectionate disposition,
the kind that generally marries young, but
he had a saving appreciation of the value
of money, which it is supposed would keep
him out of a foolish marriage. However,
he fell head over heels in love with a penni-
less but beautiful girl, who had a score of
admirers all eager for her hand. He was
anxious to win her, but (lid not feel able to
marry on the income he then had. Promo-
tion in a year or so was pretty sure, how-
ever, and he thought he could hint to her
that if she would wait until his income
was $1,000 a year he would then ask her to
marry him.

“After bringing the conversation deftly
around to the proper point,‘Mary,’ said he,
‘I have only $500 a year now, would you
marry me if I had $1,000?’

“ ‘John,’ said she, smiling sweetly on
him, ‘I would marry you on a hundred.’

“ Vhat could he do? Back out and lose
her forever or bind the bargain then and
there. He was made of good stuff, was
John, and they were married soon after,
much to the surprise of the villagers, who
had often listened to his condemnation of
hasty marriages, and not without many
misgivings on his own part, but I believe
he never repented.”

“IVhile we are on the subject of mercen-
ary matches,” said another of the company,
“I’ll give you my contribution before I for-
get it. I knew of an attractive widow,
twice married, who was left almost penni-
less by her second husband and did not
know what to do for a living. Her last
husband had had a big income and was
supposed to be rich, but in reality had al—
ways lived up to the last cent of it, and
had left his widow only a few thousands.
She kept up appearances, however, and
met a clever and rising young lawyer at a
ball one evening, who paid ardent court to
her under the impression that she was
wealthy.

“She encouraged him and not long after
sent for him to draw up her will. In the
will she bequeathed hundreds of thousands
of dollars in stocks and bonds among her
relatives and various charities, The young
lawyer estimated that her fortune was at
least half a million. Before long be pro-
posed, was accepted and married. only to
find that his wife was penniless.

THE CAUTIOUS MAN.

“I’m a cautious man,” said another of
the group, “and I’m inclined to think that
the best way to propose is with a kind Of a
laugh, as if it were a joke. Then if she ac-
cepts you, why, all right; if she refuses
you, you can say you were only in fun.

“I remember,” he continued, “two young
fellows in our town who were both court-
ing the same girl. Neither of them could
say Which she preferred, so nicely did she
play both her fish, not willing to lose either
till one had been fairly landed. One even-
ing I—that is, J im; you understand, we
will call him Jim. One of these fellows to

whom I refer, you understand. Don’t
you?”

“Yes, yes, of course,” said every one.
“Jim. Goon!”

“Jim found her alone, and he began at
once: ‘Miss Jennie, do you think you~could
bring yourself to leave your comfortable
home, kind father, loving mother and lit-
tle brothers and sisters, and go to the city
as the wife of a young fellow who has his
fortune yet to make and has nothing to of-
fer you but his honest heart and strong and
Willing hand?’

. “Jennie cast her eyes down demure] y,
and after a moment’s reflection said: ‘Yes,
James, I think I could, with the right sort
of a young man.’

“ ‘W’cll,’ said Jim, ‘my friend John (his
rival) is going to New York to seek his for-
tune and wants to marry. I’ll mention to
him what you say.’

“ ‘You horrid thing!’ she snapped out, ‘I
thought you meant yourselfi— Oh, my,
what have I said?’ and she burst out cry-
ing and made for the door. But I caught
her and assured her that it was for myself.

“\Vliy, what are you all grinning at?
Oh, shucks! I mean Jim caught her and
explained that it was for himself, and they
lived happily ever after. as the story book
says.”

“I’m afraid you let the cat out of the
bag, old fellow, but now we come to the
last man,” said the jelly originator of this
experience meeting. “You’re a bachelor,
though, Brown, and I don’t suppose you
have any reminiscences of that kind, have
you?”

“Why am I a bachelor, then?” replied
Brown. “Come, now, I’ll be honest with
you and tell you my own actual experi‘
once, as I believe you all have been doing,
though you won’t acknowledge it. I had
studied how to propose gracefully, and
bought a ring and composed a. little speech
and had got it all down fine. Drawing the
ring from my pocket, I struck a telling at-
titude and said:

“ ‘W’ill you wear this beautiful ring for
my sake? It resembles my love- for you.
It has no end.’

“To which she replied: ‘Keep your ring,
sir. It also resembles my love for you. It
has no beginning.’

“Thus was I saved from, a horrible fate
which I never again tempted.” , '

. “Hugh!” grunted the old chap with the
marriageable daughters. “The man Who
shuns matrimony for fear of its petty cares
is like one who cuts off his leg for fear of
corns.”—New York Tribune.

stead by placing underneath each post a
broken off bottle, says he had not been free
from rheumatism or gout for fifteen years,

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESD?AY.MAY 21, 1890

A PRETTY—COUNTRY HOUSE.

A Comfortable ‘and Convenient House at
Low Cost. _

This is, undoubtedly, the most economical
arrangement of rooms that can be devised for
a small dwelling. It is so planned that the
entrance hall, parlor, diningr room and kitchen
are grouped in such a manner that one chim-
ney is sufficient for the whole house. The
staircase hall is of good size, and serves as a
reception room, with a corner fireplace, in
which is an open grate for burning coal.

The parlor is immediately adjoining the
reception hall, at the front of the house, sep-
arated only by an arch-way hung with heavy
portieres, which may be thrown back, mak‘
ing the parlor and reception ball, as it were,
one room when desired. The dining room is
immediately back of the parlor, separated
from the latter likewise by porticres. ~Both
parlor and dining room are provided with
open grates and wood mantels in keeping
with the finish Of the rooms.

Entrance to the collar is under the main
stairs. The front Of the house is protected
by a wood veranda.

In the second story are three good sized
chambers, with closet-s for each; a bathroom
and one small bedroom, which can be used as
a dressing room for the front chamber if de-
sired. In the attic is one room finished, the
balance is left for storage loft. The cellar
extends under the entire building.
