How soon to melt and pass away!
The queenly Moon, through starry

With silvery train leads on her way;
When from her couch Aurora hies,
She flees before the brighter day,
But sweet Spring-time will come again?
The Rose again will lift its head,
And, 'neath the genial sun and rain, 1
Will bloom as if 'twere never dead.
The bright Sun, too, will rise again,
And shed his beams of golden light
To guild the clouds, and hill and plain,
As though they ne'er were hid from |

And the Moon's sweet face, seen from I

Will shine again o'er land and sea,
As on she moves, from slur to star,
In robes of light and majesty.

Jolin Albany's Trouble. \
I- 1
At the breakfast-table, that morn- |
ing, John A1 banjos wife, one of ,
the dearest, winningest little women .
in the world, had said to him:
"Have you heard from brother (
Joe yet?" j
"No, Carrie; not time yet. Yon j
know he only left day before yes- ,
terday. Get a letter to-morrow, \
may he." ,
"Do you know,'John,I'm almost ^
wild with curiosity to see his wife ? ,
Such an odd notion of theirs, to put j
off their wedding trip for three \
months after they were married!" j
"Wanted to make it pleasant |
weather," I suppose?showed their
common sense,".said John. I
"Anyhow, they'll be here in a ]
fortnight, as soon as his business is'(
arranged; and Carrie Carrie Alba-1,
ny's almost girlish face beamed j,
with delight at the thought, for she:(
all but idolized her "brother Joe," }
-.mrl liiwl hr?;ml wriiwlorfnl stories of'.
the beauty of his bride. ;
Such had been, in part, the talk \
at the breakfast table, and there j
had not been in all the city a sun- (
nier face than that with which John ;j
Albany had said good by to his dear \
iittle wife and his rosy-faced baby
boy; but now, half an hour later,
lie sat in his down town office,
glowering at a bit of crumpled pa- 2
per on the table before him, with \
an expression of countenance which
might fairly be thought to include'*
doubts of his own sanity. r
"Crumb Street Station House!" 1
he exclaimed. "What in? "Well,
I might as well go right there."
And so he did, with barely I
enough presence of mind to put '
his hat 011 before he started. A
few minutes of almost fiercely rapid
walking, a brief parley with the 1
officials in .J)lue, and John Albany j
was admitted to a dingy and dimly i*
lio-hted cell. !,
"John?" 1
"Good heavens! You here ! '
"llusli! Not a word?I gave my
name as Caleb Smith, and it's gone!
into the reports that way."
"But how did it happen ?"
"I can't tell, John. 1 only know
tlievfound the pocket-book in ray,
pocket, and I was so upset I couldn't j
say a word,"
"The pocket-book ?"
"Yes; it was at the railway station.
I'd jnst checked my trunks
when they began to make an out-J
cry, and that's about all I know)
about it until I found myself nabbed
and searched.
"But Lucille ?"
"I wrote to her that I was de-j
tallied in New York, for a fewi
few days, by important business.1
Then I gave your name as my coun^
sel, and sent tor you."
"I didn't get the note till this
morning," said John.
"Soino mistake or other. But,
here I am, trapped, and what to!
do I don't know."
"Oh, I can get you oft* easy,
enough; it's an old game of the
; pickpockets. All that I've got to
| do is to prove who you are, and
the Judge won't fail to see it," said'
John.
"But I don't want to prove whoi
I am. It would half kill Carrie, j
and just about murder Lucille. Ton
' don't know how sensitive she is. ]

I to J as Caleb Smith, or I'll never
jget over it. Now, John, okl fellow, j
,| promise me not to let tny name I
-lout to anybody, least of all to Cur-j
, rie, Lncille's letters will come toj
! your care, as usual; ami I can sendi
^ a letter to Carrie, dated from home, j
' you know, as if it was inclosed to;
you."
"You must take the responsibility
of all the deception, then," said
John; and, after a good deal of
^ruve Hesitation, the young lawyer
allowed himself to be over-persuaded
into giving the desired promise;
but he left the Btation house and
returned to his oiiice a troubled
and anxious-hearted man. lie did
not like deception in any shape,
aud he seriously doubted his capacity
for concealing anything from
his dear little wife.
And so it was that when John
Albany went home that evening,
and silently handed Carrie an unpostmarked
missive, over which
her blue eyes glistened, and made
her kiss the babe twice, he did- so
with a flush on his cheek and a
cjood oh his brow, which- never
loft liim tlic whole evening. In
vain lie tried to be gay, or to make
the crowning youngster a means of
concealing his perturbation; for
the quick eyes of his wife penetrated
his clumsy artifices, and then
?well, if he had been in trouble
before, he was badly enough beset
now. John Albany was accounted
a promising young lawyer, and remarkably
good at cross^questioning;
but never had any witness
3uttered under his own hands at
i? i i - i i - i.; !
ne now uui muter inose us ms who.
Of course John kept his promise
:>f secrecy, but at the expense of a
red face and a flushed manner. He
ivas not half sure that his conscience
had not caught him in several
pretty .well delTued fibs and
equivocations. More than that,
Carrie was quite well aware that
she had not penetrated her feusband's
secret"; and she was not only
a true daughter of Eve as to
curiosity, but as sclf-"willed and
imperious a little body as she was
oving, with a good deal of that
peculiar element of character out
)f .which jealousy is manufactured
jnder favorable circumstances.
And so, though at first she tried
lot to show it, Carrie was more
:han a little offended; and John,
ooor fellow, could not help seeing
md feeling it.
And thus the next day passed,
ind the next, and matters down
;own looked worse and worse, and
natters at home grew cloudier at a
ate which John Albany would
lardly have thought possible. So
much for keeping a secret from his
,vife; and the poor fellow grew
Roomier with every glance at the
Vetful and discontented face that
rad hitherto been so sunny. Even
he baby was compelled to suffer
lis share of the household trouble.
In her irritated mood, Carrie's
houghs'naturally turned to her
brother; and so one day she sat
lown and -wrote him a latter, in
ivhich she had a great many things
.vhich were intended for his own
iyes. Perhaps no harm would
lftve followed but that Carrie mailid
the letter with her own hands,
vithout saying a word to her husjaud,
and that, more by accident
ban by anything else, it was openid
and read by a young married
ady, in one of the larger isTew Eng/-vm-*

It was the same cell that John
\lbany had looke.d into before, I
md it was nearly two weeks later.
The prison was the same, however;
md, with all his confinement, he
vas hardly as pale as his worried
md badgered looking visitor.
"It's all up, Caleb !"
"What's up, John?"
"Why, this wretched secrecy
business. Lucilie's coming !"
"Lucille ? How do you know ?"
"Read that telegram. Got to
ncet her at the cars this afternoon."
John Albany had the better in
jolor now, very decidedly.
"Oh. Johu, my boy, what is to i
be done?"
"She must hnow !"
"And Carrief'"
"We'll see about that. . Don't j
see what I can do but invite her to'
the house." i.

"I can't explain here," said John;
"hut if you will get into the carriage
I will tell you as we go."
And John was determined to
keep his word, though ho would
almost as soon have been
convicted ot' burglary. lie was
riot aware of all his trouble, however.
lie had not noticed the veiled
female form that had followed
his into the depot, nor had Ills excited
and confused faculties taken
any note of the fact that the same
< ;>V ' ? ,
form sprang lightly iuto a close
coupe which drove off rapidly after
the carria^ which contained him
and Lucille. ,- When the latter was
pulled up in front of a hotel, the
coupe also stopped at a little- distance,
but the veiled, lady did not.
get out. Sheileaned forward to
the window, muttering, "I knew"'
there was something of that sort!
Oh, John! John ! How cotildyou?/ .
And then the driver of the coupe''
received fresh orders, and drove
away rapidly up town.
Lucille had only gone into the
hoteHo gather her somewhat shattered
senses after listening to the
news imparted by John, and, on
the whole, she had sustained the
shock much better than he bad.
expected. In a very short time?
for, with all her nervousness, she
was a brave and devoted wife?Lucille
declared her readiness to hurry
olt* at once to the prison."
"I must stop at my office for a
moment," said John.
"Oh, but I am in such a hurry !"
exclaimed Lucille.
"But it's only to leave'a law paper
with my partner. He has been
at Court all day, and I have not
seen him."
John's office was in a very busy
part of the city, and both he and
Lucille had their heads altogether
too full of exciting thoughts to notice
any# particular members of the
hurrying ?throng upon the sidewalks.
Still as the carriage pulled
up at the curbstone, John said:
"Good ! I won't hfcve to. go up
stairs. There's my partner now.
Brown ! Eh, Brown!"
The gentleman thus addressed
had been sianding on the edge of
the sidewalk, as if waiting for
somebody, and now came forward
with a remarkably beaming expression
of r?nuntenants.
"Jolin, my boy, it's all right."
"What's all right ?"
"Why, that Caleb Smith case."
John Albany bad to catch his
breath for a moment; buthe stammered,
"How ?"
"Why, there was a whole batch
sent up this morning; and one of
them?that's Flash-finger Dick?
confessed to putting the money on
Caleb's person."
"Well, but what did you do ?"
"Ch, Judge was as good as
pie; let him right out, and I've got
him. up stairs."
A gloved hand was on John's
shoulder, and a trembling voice
was trying to.ask him : .
"John, John, isn't that Joe ?"
"Yes, it's Joe," said John Albany
; but he was sorry the next minute,
as he sat in a corner of the
carriage trying to recall the color
to the white and beautiful face, for
Lucillc had fainted. As for Brown
he had comprehended the case well
enough to dash up stairs; and by
the time Lucille came to herself
she was in better hands than the
somewhat clumsy ones of John
Albany.
And now the carriage was being
whirled away up town, for John
was urged by something even stronger
than hospitality in his eagerness
to reach his clouded home.
Ife could have no patience with
either horses or driver, especially
as Lucille and Joe looked so provAlrincrlv
Invinor fvnH linnnv tliArf*
"'" '"to v "**rrv
on the back seat.
Home was reached at last, however,
and the somewhat irate driver
reined in his smoking horses in,
front of the house. John Sprang
to the sidewalk, and never dreamea
of aiding Joe; but Lucille by this
time was very well able to help
herself. . , It
was not yet dusk when they
entered the house, and John's
'atch-key dispeused with bell-ringingand
servants.
"Wait a moment in the parlor,"
said John, "while I call Carrie."
And so saying, but with a big
weight upon his heart, John pushed
onward toward the sitting-room.
As he threw open the door before
him, however, he was suddenly con
r% _ 11
fronted by a lauy figure in iuu
traveling costume, arid a glance
b'eyond him showed him a marvelous
disarray of trunks and bandiboxes.
Carrie, my dear?"
! A gloved hand held out toward
him a small white envelope, while
a husky voice said :
',Good-by, John I"
"Carrie?"
"Isn't that Joe's voice ? Oh,
Joe ! are you here ?"
"Yes, Carrie, here lam, safe and
sound." And Joe himself rushed'
forward, taking hold of his pretty
sister as if he was about ready to i
swallow her.
"Oh, Joe, take me to mother's !"
"But, Carrie, what's the matter ?
John has been just the best old
fellow?"
"Joe?there she is?I saw her
at the depot!?the very same woman
; and now he's brought her
here! Oh, Joe! what does it all
mean ?"
"Mean ? Why, Carrie?come
here, Lucille?Carrie, this is my
wife, your sister Lucille. I've been
in trouble, and your John has helped
me through, like a splendid old,
trump as he is. You've Jjgot just
the best felllow for a husband?"
Carrie gave one good look at
Joe, another into the wistful face
of Lucille, but she caught a glance
of the keen miftering in the trembling
lips of her own husband.
"Oh, John, I've been so ioolish!
John?"

likcwi baited wild animal than ever J
as lie had tiling himself out of the1
cell.
John didn't go home to dinner j
that day, or he might have discov-j
cred that the nurse had been leit
alone with the baby while his wife
had "gone out," no one knew
whither. So, in uncomfortable ignorance
of the dangers that beset
him, John went to the New Ilaven
Depot that afternoon, and waited
for a lady who should resemble, as
much as possible, the min/ature
likeness which had been shown
him. And he found her very read-j
ily. There was no chance for mistaking
the striking but nervous |
looking beauty; and, in fact, as lie i
advanced to moct hei*> the trem-i
bling lips parted slightly, justenough
to say, j
"John Albany ?"
"And can this be Lucille?" ^!
"Oh, John, where is my husband?
Why is he not here?"
"lie is safe and well, I assure j
vnti ? nnd vou shall soon see him."|
