Who Was the Coward? "You lie!" The speaker was Norman Webb, ;i burly built, lashionably dressed young man, who had come to college to spend his father money, and do as little work and have as good a time as possible. The wortls were addressed to Allen Ward; the provocation being an ex pression of iopinion by the latter touching a recent hazing allair planned ami headed by Norman \\ ebb, Allyti's i Vcs Hashed, and his hand some luce flushed, as with clenched fi.-ts hb inude a step toward his instil furV". Jivn/'V iii>or tif" htttt- wttr^rt i*r> utmost, tension, and every nerve tih uled. It would not have been well ? or I'orman Webb, big and strong lit; was, hail the two encountered at lliaL moment, But, as if suddenly recalling himself, Allen stopped; "1 repeat my, words," said North an Weld), insolently ? "you lie!?ami more?it is t.ot the province of a bog gar to criticise the conduct, of a gen tleman !" A tinge of the flush which had left Allen's face came back at these winds, but disappeared ou the instant, ami turning from the crowd of students,; who hull heard tltem, be walked calmly away. "The coward!" more than one mut tered. AI Ion Ward had a widowed mother ami a .sist*r dependent on him. At school he had kvoii a prize scholar ship which gave him his college tui ?tion free; and by leaching in vaca tions, ami giving lessons out of College hours, ho was managing to scrape along till he could enter the profes sion be had set bis heart on. The discipline of the institution was f'trief. A blow was ground for expulsion. To resent Norman Webb's insult as he felt impelled to-do at the moment, he knew would lead to his prompt dismissal, and be had not Ihe menus to enter nnothcr college. He thought of his mother and sister, and of lite career he had planned. Ho could hot it (lord to sacrifice all these to gratify a passing resentment. Hut the effort his self-restraint cost was little appreciated by those who called him "coward." To "give the lie," at that day in that community, was regarded either as the signal for a blow, or the pre cursor of a .summons to deadly com bat. To lake it tamely was a thing not to he tolerated among gentlemen. Personal difficulties had become so common among the students of the college, that the new president had determined to use the severest meas ures to repress them. Among his rules was one that a blow, or other act of violence, except in strictest self-defense, should he punished by summary expulsion. But college law could not change public sentiment; ami it is not proba ble that Allen Ward, with all his pa tience, would have brooked so gros3 an insult from sheer motives of obe dience. Indeed, could he have fore seen nil?that his rormer companions would shun him, and even Mabel Gray would turn away her head when they iftVt?it may he doubted if all restraints would not havo failed, and Norman Webb's insult been met with quick resentment. Jl was plain that everybody thought Allen a coward, Mabel Gray among the rest, and this hurt him most, lie and .she had long been friends; and ho. had secretly looked forward to a time when he might de clare to her a sentiment more lender than that of friendship. Now, she not only turned her back upon him, hut. begun to tolerate the attentions of Normal] Webb, whom she bad before sligli^d. One night an alarm of fire was heard in the village. Everybody ran in the direction of a blazing light which shone out against the sky. "It's Mr. Gray's house ?" shouted those who first approached the scene. A heartrending spectacle met the sight of the crowd that quickly as sembled. The flatties were blazing from the roof and bursting from most of the windows. Old Mr. Grayj a helpless invalid, who had escaped from one of the lower apartments, stood wringing his hand.-, anil beseech* ing the spectators,in piteous accents, to save Hin daughter, who, pale and terror stridkeh, leaned from the win dow of tin upper chamber, whence a leap to the ground would bo certain death. Men run in search of ladder.-, but found none, ami every moment made the chance of rescue still more diffi cult. "Mr. Webb! Mr. Webb ! will you not smvc her {'' appealed the frantic Norm nil Webb's arm. "The attempt would be madness," the latter answered; "the staircase is wrapped in flames, and no one can reach that chamber save at the peril of his life/' With a piercing shriek Mabel fell hack fainting 2ruin the window. Norman Webb made a movement as if to enter the door, hut recoiled at the sight of the fiery path before him, and stood aghast and helpless. His burly fur in was brushed aside like a feather by one who shot past, and darted up the blazing stairway with the speed of an arrow. The daring act filled the crowd with amazement, \\hielt had not time lo abate; before the intrepid stranger reappeared on the burning steps, now crumbling under his feet; bearing in his arms the insensible form of Mabel Gray, carefully wrapped from head to foot, Iiis hat pulled over his face, partly shielded, it from the *heet of flame through which, amid en couraging shouts, he once more forced his way, ami a wild cry of exultation rose when Mabel was safely placed in her lather's amis. Then came three times three of the wildest cheers for Allen Ward, when the stranger raised his hat and revealed his seared and blistered faee. "Who is the coward now?" he ex claimed, ns he sunk exhausted to the ground. No one ever called him that name again; and Mabel, we tiro sure, never thought his faceless handsome for the scars it bore on her account. A Si low i:u of Goosu Eacts.?A Niagara (Out.) correspondent of the St.. Catharine's Ayws sends that paper an ao'count of a shower of goose eggs that he alleges fell in that historic neighborhood, tltiring a very heavy snow storm recently. He says hund reds of splendid eggs were picked up in a field near his house, and says he intends to "set" a lot ofthem. 11c ac counts for the phenomenon on the hypothesis that a flock of wild geese, going north, became bewildered in the storm, and were unable to reach their usual hntints in time lo deposit their eggs in the orthodox way. The Broken- Hearted. In all of Iii? writings, both prose and poetry, Gjorgo D. Prentice, the poet-editor, fipver wrote anything more beautiful than the following; About two !cars ago, I took up my residence for If few weeks in a coun try village in Ac eastern part of New England. SjAn after my arrival, 1 became acquafiitcd with a young lady apparently al-put 17 years of age. She had lost Cue idol of her heart's purest love, aid the shadows of deep and holy memories were resting like the wing of deAth upon her brow. I first met her in the presence of tho mirthful; iShn was, indeed, a creature to he Admired; her brow was {jarlcned by the voting year's sweetest tlowcrs, and the sunny tresses were banging beauKfully ami low upon her bosom, and she- moved through the crowd with such floating unearthly grace, that thc^bcwildercd gazer look cd almost to'senher fade away into tbc air, like thojereation ofa pleasant dream. She :fcpcmed cheer!ul, and even gay, yet J^aw tbat her gaiety was buL.thc mockery of her feelings She sunled3ra$ there was something in her smile wuich. told me that its mournful hcautrjwas Lot the bright reflection of a-U ur,,and her eyelid.*: at times presse? . heavily down, as struggling taxebress the tide of ago ny that was 'Musting up from her heart's urn. ^?he ! looked as if she could hayo left tlic scene of festivity, and gone out hoicath the quiet stars, and laid her foilheaddown upon the fiesh green eartl^and poured out her stricken soul,' g ah after gush, till it mingled with/tin \it-crnal fountain of purity and life. 1 have lately bidy of whom Tbc close of he:3 US was a* calm as tbc falling of a <ihitstream; gentle as t hlWru'fr\U J^''W&?irTr->;- (lH?>^ffjrn,.? for a lime around a bed of withcrc I roses, and then dies from very sweet ness. It cannot he that earth U man's on ly abiding [dace, it cannot he that oiir life is a bubble cast upon the ocean of eternity, to float a ^uoment upon its, surface, and then go into nothingness and darkness forever. Else, why is it that tbc high and glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts are fo'icvcr wandering abroad, unsat isfied ? Why is it that the. rainbow and the cloud come over with a beau ty is not of earth, and than pass off and leavens to iniise on their faded loveliness? Why is it that the stars which hold their festival around the midnight throng, arc set above tha grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking iu with tboir unapproacha ble glory ? And finally, why is it that bright Inrini of human beauty are presented to the view, ami then taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of the affection to flow back in Alpine iorrcnts upon our hearts? We arc born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a relin where the stars will bespread out be" fore us like the islands that slumber on the ocean;- and whore the beautiful beings, that here pass before us like visions, will stay in our presence for ever. lyv^tf?fiV'thnt the young r^we ^Vokon, is dead. mo ? - . csnamm Wakthu to nu a .Tusk Bt i;.?

A few days ago a Boston detective called at tho Fifth Avenue Theatre ami explained to Mr, Stephen Fiakp that he was in confidential aoniinuui cotion with Mrs. Mosher, the wulow oi the man who had stelen Charlie EoFs;rtnd she was evidently r?ercis-'d in mind in regard to the lreya fate; that she had heard of the stolun child in "Pique," and Was anxious -to sec tlie play if she could to the theatre unobserved; and he believed that, under ihe influenae of the play, she might be induced to make the coiifoS sion which she had hitherto refused. These facts having been represen ted to Mr. Daly, be placed his own private box at the service of the de tective, ami the next evening "Mrs. Mosher was brought quietly to the theatre. She was a plain, elderly woman, neatly,attired in black, anil was accompanied by a female friend. During the progress of the play she laughed and cried with the rest of the audience, but did not exhibit any special perturbation until the hut acfc The sorrow of the heroine (Miss Fah ii)' Davenport) then appeared to move her strangely. When Miss Davenport exclaimed "He's dead 1" Mrs. Mosher rocked herself backward and forwards, and repealed: "He's dead ! Yes, he's dead !" The joy in the Renfrew family, when the stolen child was restored, al?o affected her' deeply. At the dole of the perfomauea Mrs, Me&her and the detective left the theatre as quietly as they had eutared, the drleetire whispering te Mr; Fiike as he parsed : *i think it hits bcHi a success." No further reveJalien? were vouchsafed until Wednesday last, when Mr. Christ tan K. ?o;s, tho father of ihe abducted boy, visited Superintendent Walling and held a long confereuce iu reference to some ?? 7?)W;'? ?;n.bwVf^?S^P cd.
