KDNBSDAY DEC. 23, 1874.
THE OLD EOlffi.
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." 'Ther's neigh

wiiow, hoapitaUy, putting another
moss-fringed log on tha flx ; "seem
like we're going to have aaotbar spell
of weather. "
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.

And on the du-y etJjre of Saturday
Fanner Sim kin" came.
"I never wa ) x.u to ;o anvbodyj
in all my bom day.s." aiid Mr?s H'ck
inton, ioipuNively ju'iipina up from
her seat and .-hu told hiui the story
of the vani-hed baf? of geld before he
had a chanco ta deposit his portly
bulk upon the chair she hospitably
drew forward.
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 !
Here's your money, Clari-v I heard
you tell the folks where it w- a I

and I could'nt think of nothtn' but
him but you won't lav it up agiin
me, Ciariy, now will you?"
"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. Cora with
just half the contents of the nu-chicv-ous
leather bug tor a wedding pie-cnt
