Ad ont-daor qaiet held the earth Beneath the winter moon, Tha cricket chirped in eoser mirth, Aad the kettle crooned apon the hearth, A sweet, old-fashioned tuB. . The old clock ticked, a drowsy race, With the clicking of the cricket. And red coals in the chimney-place Peeped out with many, a rosy face. Lik i berries in a thic eU The cr.ne' arm, enip.y, tck out stiff. And tinware on the shelves Twinkled and winked at every gliff. lu ihe flickering fire-light, as if They whispered to tnennclvea. The gnod dame in her ruffled cap. Counted her sti'tibee slowly. And the old man, with foil m ny a gap. Read from the Big Book on his lip. The good words, wise and holy. The oil clock diked : the old man read. Bis deep voiee paufing. lowering: The good wife nodded, dropped her head The lids of both were heavy as lead They were eoand asleep aad snoring Oh hale old couple 1 sweet each dream. While all tht milk pans tilting Pas? paints her whisker in the cream. Till John and the belated "earn Urine Maggie from the quilting. May time, I pray, when falling yoars Make thin my voire and tlinpple, Find my lust days of life like, theirs. As sweet with children' lore and prayers. And like a winterappl. cassy US SACS. Virsinia's woo' were clothed In green. Wli.it frvin my home I turned; With hope to win undying lame, My youthful genius burned. I'm ding now in a foreign land; Life's cherished dream is o'er; Oh! carry me back to Old Virginia, To old Virginia's shore. I'm d'log. dying, all a'one. And not a friend is nt-ar; No brother's voice, no sister's sigh. Falls on my dying ear. Obi for a heart that loves roe now. Ere life's wild dream is o'er. To carry me back to old Virginia, To old Virginia's shore. If it may he 'aeath Iulia's sky. 0 let me gently sleep. Where tparkliag Tiber's yellow waves To ocean's buaem sweep ; And there in slumbers soft, I'll lie, And dream forerermore. That you'vo carried me back to old Vir ginia, To old Nirginia'a shore. THE BAS OF GOLD. "Money is a great trial," said the Widow Peckington, impressively. "I declare 1 did not know what care meant before brother Garbriel died and left mc all the money." "Well. Cousin Clarissa," observed George Merrilton, who was assiduous ly engaged in entangling the widow's work to tho very worst of his abuny, utC4se"yoTnnjd"l?7vnr)ieIf uiieJW.il to tho btnio, all you have to do is to leave me the five thousand dollars." "The first thing in tho morning," went on Mrs Peckinpton, unheeding Mr. Mcrrilton's modest hint, "and the la-t at night, I'm thinking about it. First I put it in Deacon Elijtth Horton's hank, ahd then I drew it out ugnin banks aren't noways f-afe now rdays. And then I buried it in the east cellar, close to the apple bin. and there came the deluging rain, and 1 knowed the ceMar would be three inches deep in water. So up it came again, and then I could not reel in my bed for fear of fire. So I got it chanc ed into gold and I gucs it i eafo enough." "In the bottom of your big red chest?" mischievously hazarded George. "No matter where, nir," said the widow, noddtng her head. "O, but. Cousin Claria, you might tell tu," persisted Merrilton. "Ve are all your own folks, Cora and 1." Cora Dallas sat stitching quietly in the corner the pretty orphan whom good Mrs. Pcckinglon had taken out of the orphan asylum "to bring up," five years before. "I don't expect to leave you noth ing," Mrs. Peckington had said, "for I've relations of my own; but I'll ghv you a good doe?trik school education, and a decent bringing up, and a good chanoe to do for yourself." And Cora accepted the good dame'a offe r with meek gratitude. She-had grown very pretty in the last few yoarw, this solitary child of nobody.' 'Dark-eyed, with her hair full of deep chestnut golden shadows, a peach-blossom skin, where the rosy blood glowed brightly through on the rfigh'test provocation, and a mouth like Hebe, it seemed as if nature had made a solemn compact with heraelf to atpne for all social plights that might be oast across Cora DallaV path. "Well," aid Mrs. Peckington, se riously, 4tI doa't mind telling you, bat mind .you don't repeat it the tntf's h'uag halfway up the chimney on an iron hook. '"Bat suppose- the chimney should take Ere?" aid Hcrrilton. "It won't. I keep it well swept, and, besides, jf it should, it takes a pretty good heat to melt gold." 'Upou wy word. Cousin Clarissa." aid Merrilton, "you are a second HaehtavelU." "WTho ia pity fakes was he ?" ask d.Mrs. Peckingtoa."

" And while tin widow aod har mid-dle-aged lovar ducuaawd ta weather, Gcorg took ooo&hioa to help Cora gt down half a bushel of rud apples from the garret, and wai uuuecfrssarily long about it, too. "I should think xu would be ashamed of yourself, George Blerril ton," aid Cora, dimplio'g and blush ing, and trying to look very angry, in which she succeeded but indifferently. "What for?" audaciously demand ed Guoxge. "One doscn't get behind the garret door with a pretty girl every day in the year." "What would Mr. Teckington ay?" v "I dare say she's doing the very came thing herself down atairs with Jchorum Simkins." And Cora burst out laughing at the preposterous idea, jufct as the widow came for quince jelly and apple butter, and to toll Cora to mix up a batch of muffins in the twinkling of an eye, for neighbor Simkins was going to May to tea. After supper Mr. Simkins took hi leave, with a roguish twinkle of his eye toward the young people, and Mr. Peckington went over to jpend the evening with Mrs. Dorca-e Dottle ford, her pet crony, and Corn sat all alorjs in the tire-light, aewiug and f-ighing thinking. For George Merril ton had gone home early to sec arc Mr. SimkinV companionship a part of the way through the lonely road-, which were already becoming veiled in .snow. The tall old-fashioned clock in the angle of tho old-f&hioned kitchen chimney had just struck midnight, when Cora Dallas was routed from her deep by a sheeted form at the foot of her bed tall and narrow, clad iu white but no ghost, nevertheless, but Mrs. Peckington's self. "What's the matter?" cried Cora, breathlessly. "My money !" gasped the widow, waving her hands tragically in the air. "But what of it?" "It's clean gone, stolen, took a way!" "Are you sure!" eagerly demand ed Cora. "As sure as I am that you're Htar ing at mo now. I felt up chimney for it the last thing afore I got ready to go to bed, and it was gone." In vain proved all search. Neith er up chimney, nor down cellar, nor iu any imaginable or unimaginable corner was the bag of gold to be ibund. "Mrs. Peckington," said Cora, hufckily, "it must have beon stolen." "Yes," said Mrs. Peckington, whoce lips were now compressed, and and there was something in her man ner that Cora never before noticed, as ht called the white-headed farm-boy, and told him to run over and ak Farmer Simkins to step to the Peck ingtoo place that morning. "And you may as well stop for George Merrilton as you come back, ' said she. When he was gone she came close up to Cora Dallas. "Cora," Baid she, "we two are alone together now, and I am the last one to be hard on you ; confess now, and we'll see how tho matter can bo cleared up." Cora opened wide hr brown eyes. "Confess what?" she aked inno cently. "That you took the money; there w-is no one else that could hare done it. You were here all alone yester day evening, and I know it was a strong temptation to a gal that never had five dollars of her own in the world. Cora, you're youiur, child, and I don't believe you're altogether bad, but Satan sifts us all as wheat, and-" "Stop!' cried Cora, growine white and breathless ; "ja supcot me you think I am thief 1 Mrs. Peel ing ton, may Gud forgive you for your very cruel suspicion." Mrs. Peckington was silent. She knew not how she could help the impiession which so strongly boro Ttpon-hcr mind. Who-bot-Cora Dl las could have taken the missing gold? "George, George!" gasped the poor girl, flitting up to him as for safety, as the door opened and the stalwart form of George Merrilton ap peared; "she believes that I stole the money ; you do no not think so, do you?" George Merrilton'i eyea sparkled nervously. "Cousin Clarissa, I would stake my life on Cora's fnnooenee." Mrs. Peckington shook her head. "It looks very ugly for her," she said, "but of course if she eau prove it" "It needs no proof in my eyes," aaid George, quietly, as he drew Cora's arm within hi. "There, little one. don't tremble so, and look so wonder fully frightened ; no one shall dare harm yoa as Ioug a I am by your side." "But where's Mr. Simpkins?" ask ed the widow, missing her strongest allay in this hour of need. "If you please aia'aia," said the white-headed taraiboy, he had goae away taddealy at four o'clock this aabrniBg to see hla father, aa be had a stroke, aad tfcey don't expect Lis back antU tha last of aext week." Mr. PeakiagtoB vttafr. 'At all evoufd," ebe biii -rains to Cora D.lla;, "job can't n t shelter uuder my root t.u iouf' I did'ot a&k for such treatment itum j you. "Conin CUrtsa," said Merrilton, bravely, "I love Cora lilla, and I stand her to espouse hvr cause. You may sue her if you like." "I tfbanjt do that." naid the widi,w, 'leastwi-e not until Jehorutu Simlin oomes home to advise me what'e bet." "But," went on GeoTge Mcrnlton, "I shall taake her my wife thi- very day, in order that I can offer het a home in place of the one of which you have so cruelly deprived her." The widow, albeit naturally a kind-hearted woman, fired up at this. "Of ceurse I've nothing to ay," she said, "if you choose to marry a thief" But she stopped here the uphLz ing fire in Merrihon's eyes admonish ed her to go no further. It was lonely enough tho- cold winter days, hitting at her fir-file, the money gone, the merry sruu i t George Mcrrilton's voice il-nt, and Cora's bright presence vanished.

Mr. Simkins tuined doll red then a tallow white pot up and sa' down again, and finally dragged a leather bag from the recess of his butternut colored coat-tail. "I ncver'll play off a practical jok again, blamed if I do," ho ejaculated; "fori declare to gracious I hadn't nny idea of the mischief I was doin !

"But Cora Dallas? gasped the astonished widow. "Iv'e told every body he took it." "Then yoo and I mut go around and explain matters to everybody that's all," said the farmer. And Mrs. Peckington began to cry. "Ioort Corn," she sobbed, '-'poor motherless child I I could bite my tonpuc when I think of what wicked things I have spokuu with it. But I'll go right over and beg her pardon, so I will, and George' too." Cora Merrilton forgave Mr--. Peek ington much ruoie sweetly and readily than her husband could bring him-elf to do and she even came over to help tho widow make cake for her own wedding. "For, of course, I knew it would all be set right sooner or later," caid Cora, cheerfully, "and we'll let by gones be bysrone"." And the widow disced her consci ence by presenting Mru.
