OVER THE RIVER. Over the river they beckon to me, Loved ones who've crossed to the further side; The gleam of their snowy robes I see, But their voices are lost in the dashing tide, There's one with ringlets of sunny gold, t And eyes, the reflection of heaven's own I blne; He crossed in the twilight gray and cold, And the pale mist hid him from mortal b view; b We saw not the angels who met him there, t The gates of the city we could not see, Over the river, over the river, U My brother stands waiting to welcome e me! Over the river the boatman pale o Carried another, the household pet; n Her brown curls wave in the gentle gale, Darling Minnie! I see her yet: She crossed on her bosom her dimpled a hands. o And fearlessly entered the phantom bark, We felt it glide from the silver sands, And all our sunshine grew strangely dark; We know she is safe on the further side, p Where all the ransomed and angels be, t Over the river, the mystic river, My childhood's idol is waiting for me. b For none return from those quiet shores. S Who cross with the boatman cold and pale, C We hear the dip of the golden oars, And catch a gleam of the snowy sail, And lo! they have passed from our yearning hearts,s They cross the stream and are gone for ( aye. We may not sunder the veil apart That hides from our vision the gates of e day, ti We only know that their barks no more a May sail with us o'er life's stormy sea, Yet somewhere I know on the unseen shore They watch, and beckon, and wait for me. a And I sit and think when the sunset's gold Is flushing river and hill and shore, [ shall one day stand by the water cold s And list for the sound of the boatman's It oar, I shall watch for a gleam of the flapping sail, b I shall hear the boat as it gains the strand, t [ shall pass from sight with the boatman pale, a To the better sbore of the spirit land, M [ shall know the loved who have gone be- t fore, And joyfally sweet will the meeting be, When over the river, the peaceful river, d The Angel of Death shall carry me. o -- - U b It was a bright, clear, cold r morningin early December. Whben t Kathie entered the car there was n scarcely a vacant seat to be seen.* n To be sure there was one stout a old genttleman sitting alone, but h] he was next to the aisle and seemed t so deeply absorbed in thought lb that Katbie disliked to disturb a him. Then there was a middle- s aged woman, but she had number- s lss wraps and parcels in the seat h beside her, and her appearance, I take her all in all,-was so for- b bidding as she looked fixedly out li of' the window, that Kathbie passed it her by. There was but one more u seat unoccupied. It was beside a s gentleman who sat close to the f window reading a paper. 'Is this seat engaged ?' asked Katbie with timid hesitancy. c 'It is not,' was the answer in a pleasant tone ; 'but,' springing up t, as he spoke, 'would you prefer the seat by the window ?' 'Ob, no! Thank you! Not at b all!' murmured Kathie, and she, sat down beside him.0 The gentleman turned his at ten tion again to h is paperiand herd purse was ini her ciaak pocket, and Kathie immrediately fell to wish ing that she had taken the seat by the window. For the gentle- ' man sat at her right hand, and had not Aunt Kate warned her over and over again to be on her ~ guard against pickpockets, and had declared that they were quite ' as likely to be young, agreeable h and polite as the reverse ? And b was not this person all three ? K Kathie stole a shy glance at him. His dark eyes were intently fixed C ont his newspaper. He was fine ii looking and well dressed, and to s all intents quite oblhvious of her t existence. Kathie wonder'ed de- t m'rely whbat sort of' an expression U is face would wear if' he knew that any one thought that he I might perhaps be a pickpocket. b She might take her purse and v old it in her hand, but that would r seem ostentatious and tiresome,g moreover there would be ample t time for that when the gentle- h man--he looked like a gentleman r ertainly-should put down his aper and Kathie could no longer :atch his hands. Then Kathie's thoughts slipped f Zto a more agreeable channel. i be thought of the Christmas i ifts she was going to buy, and t f the other shopping she was c oing to do? It was her first trip e > Boston quite alone. Aunt i Late had always been with her efore, to take care of her and t elp her to select Christmas gifts, o ut this year Aunt Kate's rheuma- I ism was so much worse than a sual that she did not hope to be C qual to a trip to Boston for the s rinter; and as it was already s earing Christmas, there was a othing to be done but to let i :athie go alone. And so it came bout that Kathie, feeling quite f b Id and responsible, was on her e ray, this bright December morn- V g, to the city. She mentally ; a lanned her day's work, and por- h oned out her money for the va- c ous things she was intending to uy. There was the book for her c unday-school teacher, the shell F mb for Aunt Kate, the engrav- d ig for Cousin Will, that must be v specially fine and nicely framed, e nce it was to do double duty as c 'hristmas and wedding gift. I hould it be a copy of some cel- c brated old picture, or some at- a active group, full of modern life 9 nd interest ? While Kathie was o rying to decide this question, n nd was reviewing with her c iind's eyes, all the finest and t iost beautiful engravings that a he had ever seen, the train swept t ito the tunnel. F As it grew dark the gentleman t eside her put down his paper, t 1rning slightly towards Kathie t s he did so. And then Kathie b as sure she felt a stealthly mo on towards her cloak pocket. d !uick as thought her hand went L own to seize her purse, when h, horrors ;-there was the man's f and in her pocket! Kathie did e ot withdraw her hand ; on the a ntrary, being resolved to pro- i ct her property at all hazards, be felt about with her fingers as s ell as she could for her purse, C ut could not find it. It was al- C sady g*ne. Then Kathie seized I bie intruding hand with the firm- t ess of desperation, fully deter- i lined to make an alarm as soon a s the cars emerged .into day ght again. If he did not have ~ bie purse in his hand, there at 3J ast was his hand in her pocket,i nd some of the passengers would se her righted and her purse re- C ored. Fortunately her purse had S er name printed on the inside. f [ow long the minutes seemed I efore the train came out into ght ! Then Kathie still grasp- r ig firmly the man's hand, looked I: p and down the aisle, with parkling eyes and flushed cheek, r r the conductor. a 'I beg your pardon,' said her ' aptive in a low tone that Kathie ~ uld scarcely catch the words, t ut have you not made a mistake in r C Kathie gave one swift glance. "ood bearens! Her hand was in is pocket ! If she had touched a urning coal she could not have linquished her' hold and with- a 'awn her hand more promptly. e was overcome with confuision. he ventured one deprecatory lance at the gentleman. His ex-a ressive face wore a mischievous rile. 'I thou-'began Kathie trne iulously, but she could get no rter. The revulsion of feeling t as too great. -The brightness of a er eyes was suddenly quenched y gathering tears, and her lip p, uivered ominously. 'That it was your pocket, of >urse,' said the gentleman, corn leting her sentence. 'I under- ~ and perfectly. Pray do not let be mistake disturb you,' he con- I oued, with imploring earnest-v In the midst of her distress t athie could not help thinking t ow musical his voice was. Then, e zith much tact, he took up his f aper, and devoted himself with reat assiduity, to reading an ar ice, which, if Kathie had but la nown it he had read twice al- 1 eadv since she sat besirde him, t cithout knowing in the least what t was about. Kathie became outwardly corn >osed after awhile, but her mind vas still in a tumult. Suppose he I iad turned the tables upon her, ,nd denounced her as a pick-pock t as he might have done! She hivered at the mere thought of ( t. j1 Once or twice, as they neared P he city, the gentleman glanced u .t her as if he would speak, but ri Eathie's resolutely averted face nd downcast eyes gave him no ft pportunity, and not another word C ras spoken till they reached the tl tation, where he left her with g courteous bow and 'Good morn- tl 3g.' u 'Hateful thing,' said Kathie to e' erself, 'I hope I shall never set q yes on him again ;' and then she sl atched him, with admiring eyes, ri s long as she could distinguish B is fine form in the hurrying IL rowd. SI Her purse, it is scarcely ne essary to say, was safe in her ft ocket, and she soon set about a iminishing its contents. Not- b Tithstanding the inauspicious be inning.of her trip, her day proved w uite successful and satisfactory. k er own errands and Aunt Kate's of ommissions were all executed, el nd there was still a half-bour to pare for a call at Cousin Will's W ffice and when the time drew F ear for her train to leave he es- t< orted her to the station. The z rain was in readiness when they a rrived, and, as they walked along D reach the right car, a form ap roached them from a side en- tc rance, a glance at which sent a s' hrill through Kathie's veins and r e hot blood to her cheeks and t< row. C 'Ah ! here's Harry Thorn, going it own on your train, Kathie,' said d or cousin. P 'He will be agreeable company d )r yon, and will see to your par- l els,' and then, before Kathie was a t all prepared for it, came the u evitable iittroduction. - fi Kathie could hardly force her- u elf to meet the glance of the mis. a bevous dark eyes bent upon her, r to touch the iproffered hand. f< t was utterly impossible for her. g o speak a word, but the gentle- s an talked on till Will left them si t. the entrance of the car. 14 'You will take- the seat by the indow this time ?' said Mr. e born, and Kathie jsilently took k After he had arranged her par- 1 es in the rack, and seated him- h~ elf, Kathie remarked, with a f rank smile, 'I really hoped that I should never see you again.' al 'Did you think I deserved eter. U al banish men t?' he asked, lighbt- p 'Oh, no! It was rather I who t merit,ed it,' said Kathie. 'So long a s you did not know me, it did not t latter what you thought of me, e ut now, '-ah, where were Ka- is ie's words leading her ?-'but, si ow, if you should tell Cousin t< Vill,' she continued quite illogi. I al!y, 'ho would 4ease me un- b 1rcifully, and I should never it ear the last of it.' h 'I assure you,' was the earnest a nswer, 'that I will never mention it be mistake to which you refer to ai ill or any one else. No one be- P ides ourselves need ever know at ught of it.' And then he skil- a illy turned the conversation, and n Cathie was sooniquite at her ease, ud they were conversing like two t: ld friends. ii That memorable ride through P be tunnel occurred some years f go, and Kathie's relations with w Ir.

The microsccpic examina tion made it appear very unlike butter, but the chemical analysis showed it contained 88 per cent. of fatty matter, 8 per cent. of water, 2 per cent. of salt, and 2 per cent. of animal matter. Of the 88 per cent. of fatty matter 95 per cent. was but ter. So it only lacked 5 per cent. of being the genuine article at the worst. One of the committee expressed it when he facetiously remarked, "I understand it all'; we are'living in a progressive age, and the inventions of the day have enabled us in this in stance to 'go behind the returns,' we have gone to the fountain head, and by a mechanical operation produced from the same source in an hour the identical substance that nature would have consumed' twenty-four hours in producing through the slow opera tions of lactification, if I can coin a word, milking and churning." So much for the manufacture and consumption of oleomargarine. Very respectfully, D. WYATT AIEN. SWEET COURTSHIP. They were sitting on a stile Sary and Steve. He at one end, solemly 'gnawing his tawny mous tache,' she at the other, solemnly knitting,cotton lace. He smiled. She smiled. He slipped up close to her side, took a big sweet pota to out of his pocket and wiped it carefully on his sleeve. 'Les swap,' said he, in deep, rich tones, as he handed her the pota to, and, taking the dingy cotton lace from her hands, he coquet tishly wrapped it around his hat. 'Well, less,' she replied, gnaw ing at the raw potato. Ten Inin utes of dead silence. Then from another pocket he handed a bun dle tied up in a handherchief. 'zuess what I've got,' said he, archiv. 'Ginger cakes ?' 'No.' 'Cbinkypins ?' -'No.' 'Warnuts ?' 'No.' 'Goobers ?' - 'Yaas ! Now guess who they're fur.' 'Fur yo' mar ?' 'No.' 'Yo' pa?' 'No.' 'Fur that sarcer-eycd Cath'n you'se ben pa.yin' 'tention ter ?' 'No.' One of his rare smiles played upon his aristocratic fea tQres at that moment and caused her to say : 'May be thbey's fur me.' 'That's who they's fur, shore !' She took the bundle and thank ed him. More silence. Then he cleared his throat exactly fifteen and a half times. He had some thing to say, but didn't know how to say it. He looked sheepisly I mean pensively-at the leaves dancing brownly on the ground, then at the cotton lace twined round his hat, then at the calm, blue sky, for inspiration. Maybe, like the great Constan tine, he beheld a writin.g on Hea yen's azure wall, for he spoke, and tously: 'Us is gwine to marry, ain't us?' 'Yaas, us-is.'
