The scow line rahhis ea?.od at him.
lie reeked not oftheiir praise or hlame;
There was no fear, there was no shame,
For one upon w hose d: z./.elcd eyes
The whole world poured its vast surprise.
The o|?en heaven was far too near,
Ills first day's light too sweet and clear,
To let him waste his new-gained ken
On the hate-clouded face of men.
Hut still they questioned. Who art thou?
What hast thou 1 oen? What art thou now?

It was his foil heart's only lore:
A prophet on the Sabbath day
Had loitohed his sightless eyes with el ay,
And made him see who had been blind*
Their words passed by hint like the wind.
Which raves and blows, hut cannot shock
The hundtvd-fathoni-rooted rock.
Their threats and fury all went wide;
Tboy could not touch his Hebrew pride.
Their sneers at Jesus and His baud,
Nameless and homeless in the land,
Their boasts of Moses and his Lord,
All could not change him by one word.

Sinner or saint; Out as for rue,
One thiny J know, that 1 am he
Who once was Wind, and now I see.
They were nil doctors of renown,

With deep brow s, wrinkled, broad, and wise

The wisdom of tlx- East was theirs,
And honor crowned ttx'ir silver hairs.

Was unlearned, poor, and humbly born;

And what the Christ had done for him

Mrs. Jones' Elopement.
Mr. Joni*8 eatnc home that afternoon
feeling cross am! tired. Business had
been dull, and tin; clerks had been provoking.
When he tell out of sorts, as
he did that day, a nice supper and his
wile's company were the best antidotes
he knew ol, and he hoped to have them
elVoet a cure in this instance, as they
olten hud in other instances,
Hut Mrs. Jones was out, the girl
said. Sue lead been busy in her room
all the nlternoon; she didn't, know

ago she had |>ut on hev bonnet and
gone out, anil had charged her to tell
her husband, when he came home, that
she should not be hack until late in the
evening. "Gone out on particular
business, she said," added Bridget.
On particular business,' growled
Jones. "I'd like to know what particular
business she has. I should
say it was a wife's business to stay at
home. She knew, of course, that I
was coining home completely tired on',
but th;vt doesn't interfere with her
pleasure in the least. She can enjoy
herself just the same?probably all the
more, because I am out of the way. I
wish I knew where she'd gone.'
lie went up to her room to see if she
had worn some of her best clothes.
"Because, if she has,' reasoned Mr.
Jones, "she's gone off to have a good
time, Avith some one she cares more
lor than she does for me.1
Mr. Jones' brow was black a*> any
thuudcr-clon.l, at the thought. lie
was in precisely the right frame oi
mind to make mountains out ol molehills.
Hut she hadn't worn any of her new
<1 tenses.
"It can't. (>o she's going to ti party,
I lien,' eoncloded Mr. Jones, "or shed

fcheV going Home where else, and wants
to keep dark. It begins to look mysterious.
A woman don't generally go
ell in this way, without saying something
to her husband, and wear her
old clothes, without it* meaning something,
I've observed,' said Mr. Jones,
solemnly, to tlujM r. Jones in the glass.
"I\i like to know what it ailcfoes mean,
anyhow.'
It was just at this juncture that Mr.
Jones discovered a letter on Mrs. Jones'1
writing-desk. It wss a freshly written
page, beginning:
"1) itak Ei>w aud:1
Mr. Jones, hair raised on etid when

nanie. What awful thing had he dieHlov^red?
Could it i<o thai his wife was
4 in who habit ol writing letters to gentlemen?
Perhaps ?1kj has gone out to
meet one now.
lie read the letter though without
Mopping to take breath, iron* beaming
to end.
It rend as follows:
"Duau Eowaud:
"1 have read your touching appeal
over and over, until every word of it
is stamped upon my heart* It has
caused mo to light a terrible battle
with myself. 1 love you, ami there is
no use tor me to deny it. I cannot
deceive myself, nor you, by ?o doing.
But my duty is to siav with my husband.
1 loath him'?I despise him; lie

as you wish ine to. 1 will meet you
at the oak tree to-night at ten o'clock.
I hope I shall?'
And here, al the bottom ot the page,
the letter broke oil very abruptly.
The other side ot the page was blank.
"Great Jo.hosophai!' That was the
awtul word that broke from Mr. Jones' I
lips, when lie ha 1 tinidie 1 reading. It I
was the nearest to swearing o! ,mv j
word he inlulgvd in. il ev< r he leh
justified in using it, lie did now. I lis
i'aeo was a sight to behold. It was
lull of anger and surprise, and complete
bewilderment.
"She loves him, dot s she,' he ejaculated,
faintly. "Ami I'm a tyrant, ant 1
I? The wretched creature! She loathes
me, and despises me, does she? I'll
show her a thing or two bet nm see

It's awful?awful !* and Mr. Joins
wiped his face with his handkerchief,
and looked the complete picture of
grief.
Mr. Jones was so "struck all of a
heap," to um> his own expression, by
the terrible intelligence thai he didn't !
stop to reason over the matter, lie
never otiee thought thai "Dear Jid !

About nine o'clock Mr. Jones no I a J
couple of oUicei s came up the road
stealthily, ami secreted themselves
behind a clump ot bushes near the
place where the two main made
crossed each ot her.
"Now you mind what I say'11 said
Mi . Jones. "77/go lor him, and you

struck out light, and lelt at his visionary

Presently Mr. Jones liaid litem hslen;

Tfto night was dark, and <hey could

"II's him eurse him," muttered Mr.
Jones. "Now you lay h?w. and iniiul

"lie's close l?y now," wl ispered one
of the men.
"1 see him.1 answered Mr. Jones, in
an ftwtul w hispt re: "Here, hold my

Accordingly, Mr. Jones "wont for
him.' Ho made a rush at the tali,

roaii. He gave it a punch in the stone
neii w ith one tiM, anil another in the
ribs with his other fist, snoitiug liko a
wili] bull. 11r was too oxeitod to talk
intelligibly, at first. The unsuspecting
recipient of such an extraordinary
greeting seemed halt-inclined to run
at first, Inn, on second thought, seem,
td to think better ol it, and turned upon
his assailant.
"lake that, and thot% and thai"

Mr. Jones' tune suddenly changed;
the victiui of a husband's right cons

upon his foe and doing good work
with it.
"Smith Oobannl, help, help'"
