I A Vision of Life.
A Vision of Life. I stood on a bridge, beneath me gently flowing 'ivater, on one side a declivity, on the other a meadow wearing that shade of pale Sreen which belongs to early spring. Across the mea-dow above a clump of oaks was a spire. The ran was peeping above the hori- I zon, tinting the fields, the hills. and the water a soft yellow glow, while the cross on the spire shone like burnished gold. Birds were on the wing hunting a, breakfast, now and again sending forth a eoft, mnsical piping. The sky was a pale azure. There was not even one fleecy cloud floating over its great, domelike surface. Suddenly from a clock in the church spire came a stroke, a harmonious blending of chords that I had never heard in earthly I music. It seemed to be a fitting signal from heaven that a child had been born, a new soul launched on earth. While its entrancing melody was still filling my senses with a freshness that re-called the pulse of child- hood a little girl emerged from the oaks which hid the spire and came quickly along the road leading to the bridge. She held in her hand a few wild flowers and stopped now and again to gather more. Coming on to the bridge, she passed me, tossing her ringlets and turning upon me a pair of blue eyes full of interest and wonder. "Is it not a beautiful world?" she said. "I am going to the hills. They are so mellow. I shall lore to play on their grassy slopes." She did not stop, and as she receded the last word seemed to ooms from an infinite distance. j The scene changed. Where there had been fields there were dwellings. Trees had been cut away. Others that had been mere sprouts were casting broad shadows. The sun stood high in the heavens. The clock in the spire struck two. There was a deeper, more intense melody in the strokes than before, both joyous and solemn, giving me an impression of great ha-ppinesa blended with a sense of great responsibilities. The sound had not died away Deiore there came from the hills a merry shout, and I saw a wedding procession moving towards me. The bride walked alone, followed by her family and friends. Reach- ing the bridge, she crossed it with a firm step, and when she turned her eyes to me I saw in them traces of the look I had seen in the little girl and knew that she was the same. She passed on, with her retinue, and was soon lost in the oaks that hid the church. Then there was a hush, and the strains of a wedding march burst forth. In another moment variegated tints were to be seen moving through openings in the trees. The married pair, followed by their friends, had left the church and were going to their homes. The clock struck three. This time there was a mellow sound in its tones suggestive of autumn. On the hills hung purple grapes. Orchards were ruddy with fruits. Here and there flushed a scarlet leaf. The sun stood midway between the I meridian and the horizon. Up the road came two fignrea, a woman and a youth. She was resting her hand affectionately on his shoulder, and it was plain that he was her son. The earnestness accompanying the words she was speaking to him, the sad look on her face, mingled with pride and hope, told me that she was I sending him out into the world to play his part in life. At the bridge, she embraced him, and he went on, while she stood look- ing after him. Turning, she fixed her eye momentarily on me, then slowly retraced her steps and was soon shut out of sight by the oaks. I had seen her for the third time. I ASlDgle stroke broke upon midnight, a wail, a dirge, an essence of infinite misery. I looked about me and through the darkness saw that it was winter. The stream beneath me was congealed. The hills were white with snow. As the vibration of the bell came on they lost their melancholy, swelling slowly into strains of heavenly music. As Mie nrst. strode had signalised the birth of a child, this was a greeting to a soul that had trodden its earthly path and was being welcomed in heaven. I looked up into the dark vault studded with stars, and fancy showed me one more picture, a face in which I were blended the child, the bride, the mother. In it there was neither youth nor age, hut a sexless spirit of rare beauty, fliokering like an aurora. It faded, and I saw my bedroom lighted by the faint glow of a night lamp. The vibration of the stroke I had last heard ended in the tones of the tiny bell of my repeater under my pillow. Reaching for the watch, I touched a spring, and it struck the honr of one. I had gone to bed and to sleep at a few minutes after midnight. In lees than an hour the musical strokes of my watch had given me in four pictures a vision of an entire life. The first stroke at the quarter had brought me the child hastening to enjoy the beauties of the world. Two strokes for the half had painted her entering upon the duties of life at her marriage. Three strokes for the third quarter had shown her starting a new generation over the course she had trodden in maturity. The fourth stroke for one o'clock was a funeral bell changing into a welcome to a. new existence. There is no such thin? as time. Between the strokes of midnight and cfae o'clock had I dreamed for an hour or lived a lifetime? F. A. MITCHEL. j

I A GENUINE JACK TAR. A well-dressed man who asked at Ports- mouth station for a seaman's return to London was refused by the booking-clerk on the ground that he was apparently not a sailor.

Now, yon wiry-whiskered son of a eea-cook, if you feel my starboard boom running foul o' your steaming lights yonTl heave in your jawin' tackle a bit." Give him a ticket," said the station- master.

DEVOURED THE COAL REGISTER. I sir," said a. country squire to his gardener, "whero's that account you've been keeping of the coal you've had for the green- house during tho last three months?" I had it ready for you this morning, sir," was the apologetic reply, but now the pigs is gone an' eaten it up." Further questioning elicited that he had carelesfcly left on the ground a, box in which I he had been putting a potato for erery hundredweight of coal, and half a potato for every 56 lbs.

IThe New Comer at Pickville.
I The New Comer at Pickville. There is a flutter among the men of the mining town facetiously dubbed Pickville. Since the place has enjerged from the grab (camp) into the butterfly (town) there has been but three women within its corporate limits, and they all married. Now comes a young woman styling herself Molly Grifton and sets np a small- etore. Mining supply dealers and gamblers are among the eligible men in Pickville, besides a yonng man Arthur Eiggins, in consumption, who came to save his life and to save souls, though he has neither church nor salary. The day after Molly Grifton's appearance every bachelor in the town was agog as to who would draw the prize, for it was not for a moment supposed that any good-looking young woman would remain long in such a community without being appropriated. The question was sifted like an algebraio problem. The parson was not considered at all; the mine owners had wives in the east; the merchants were none of them proficient with the gun; the miners were too busy to look after ttheir interests. This left the gamblers to fight it out among themselves. The most dreaded among the gamblers was Fox Armstrong, and when he was observed to stop at Molly Grifton's store and buy up the first edition of the stock, clean- ing out the shelves entirely, the rest of the profession concluded to keep at a safe distance. But one man in Pickville had the audacity tp buck against Fox Armstrong, iluu ne was a. young prospector named Stephen Bai-tlett. Stephen was the only man in town who seemed to find favour with the lady, and, though he had not the means of wooing by trade, as in the case of Armstrong, the scale was turned in his favour by his manly and honest bearing, his cheerful dis- position and certain ingenuous traits which rendered him attractive to women. He was warned by his friends that as he valued his life he should refrain from any attention to Miss Molly. As a firecracker has been known to kindle a city, so a meek and lowly man started the shooting that was bound in time to take place on account of Molly Grifton. Fox I Armstrong one night ceased dealing faro at 11.30 o'clock on account of an indisposition, concluding that he would go to his room and turn in for the night early. Passing Molly Grifton's store, he was surprised, though all was dark within, to see the door standing ajar. Thinking that someone might be appropriating Molly's belongings and that he might win credit with her by capturing the thief, he sidled up to the door and listened. Low voices came from the room behind the store where Molly lived, the one a woman's, the other a man's. Arm. strong at once assumed that his rival Bartlett was stealing a march upon him and got his revolver in position to handle readily at the exit of tho intruder upon what he considered or wished to consider his own domain. Presently the two inside advanced to the shop. I CDme," said the girl; take it. You are paining me by refusing." Do you suppose I could :ive a moment among these men if they knew you were furnishing me with money?" "Bat they don't know it." "Very well; I will take this. Next week I am going to work with a pick and shovel." You will do no pach thine." I There was the sound of a kiss, and the man stepped into the street. I Great heavens! It was the parson! Unconscious of being observed-for Arm- strong occupied a position where he oould -A. 1? De seen-Arthur Huggins wended his wafr- toward his room. Armstrong followed hZim?, and when in the centre of a bridge across the gulch accosted him: "You white livered hypocrite "-he was beginning, but paused. A step was heard on the far end of the bridge, and in a few moments Stephen Bartlett came up and was recognised under the starlight. "Parson Huggins and Fox Armstrong together here at this time of night! What does it mean?" "That he has been skulking with Molly Grifton. whioh I don't permit." He has as good a right as yoa anfway." Raid Stephen. YilU sire me great jov in taking his part." sneered Armstrong. I can't kill a man with a woman's soul in him. but I can take care of-" The words were never finished. Had he not had something of the contempt for Bartlett that he had for the parson he would have fired first and talked a,fterw?da. Stephen knew fall well that firing, and wo ick firing, W36 eeaentia?. or he would be a dead man. Armstrong propped. Molly Grifton heard the shot and. fearing tha.t Huggins might have been waylaid, rushed upon the bridge. Stephen! Axthar I What does it metm?- That dog," said Stephen, "aesamea sole right to you. I have maintained that Parson Huggins or any man you choose has I an equal right." This is all my fault," cried Huggins bitterly as Molly bent over the wounded gambler to assist him. Molly is my sister. I came here to recover my health. Having no means, I was about to return when she came out to help me. Knowing that this community would not respect me for being helped by a woman, she took another name and concealed our relationship." 1 The next day the town of Pickville was startled with the news that Stephen Bartlett. had downed Fox Armstrong and was going to marry Molly. The rest of the story was not divulged. SARAH PARKE TEIMMINGHAM.
