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

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.

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.

Tho Fate of Charlie Ros3.
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

A peculiarity of the Tartarian
steppes is the gigantic size of some of
our humble plants, such as milfoil
(ttchilfea) and worinwon?i, (iiMcinisi'?/,)
which grow to a height of several
feet. The mullein, {tcrltascum,) cal
