LOST CORALIC.
"1 nm truly sorry, Edith, that you
are so needlessly alarmed. It is a
sad story that I am about to repeat,
and when you have heard it you
will not wonder that the remem
brance gives me pain. For a long
time I was my parents' only child,
and as tny father was very exclusive
in his choice of friends, I passed the
first years of my life comparatively
isolated from other children.
"So you can imagine, Edith, with
what joy I hailed the birth of a little
sister. For hours I would sit be
side her cradle bed, watching her
infant slumbers, and waiting with
boyish impatience for the light blue
eyes to open, when she would be
transferred to my arms.
"Each year brought to view some
new charm and beauty, and only
strengthened the love we bore her.
She was my constant companion and
charge, and had learned at an early
age to row with grace and dexterity,
and to test my skill in shooting and
riding.
"Xcvcr shall 1 forget the anguish
of parting when T arrived at an age
when I was deemed old enough to
be sent to college. I thought I
should like the novelty and change.
There was something pleasing in the
thought of being sent to a distant
college, and many were lhe air cas
tles I built while preparations were
being made for my departure.
"Long years passed before I again
visited my childhood's home. The
boy of fifteen, who had gone away
with such a hcayy heart, returned
the worldly-wise man of twenty-six.
"My mother and father were still
in the prime of life. They were
overjoyed to see me, and said I
should never leave them- again.
Warm as my reception was, some
thing was wanting. Where was my
sister, my tenderly-remembered
Coralie? While the question tremb
led upon my lips a young girl enter
ed the room. She was unaware of
my presence, but the moment her
eye tell upon me I Knew her, and
felt that 1 nas known. Jler face
became white as the snowy blossoms
which nestled in her hair. Her arms
were extended to me, though she
did not move. In a moment she
was weeping in my arms, and be
tween her sobs I could only catch
the words:
"'Uuddie. dear Buddie, home at
last, home at last.'
"I felt that there was poetry and
romance in her face, and still an ex
pression in the beautiful eye which
I could not read. I have learned
since then, darling; I saw it in your
eye when I whispered my love. If
this absorbing passion can beautify
the plainest face, as the poet says,
what must it not have made of our
Coralie ? She, though so young, had
experienced that greatest happiness
vouchsafed by God to me. She
loved and was beloved again. Heav
en forgive me that ever I was the
first to wake her from her happy
dream! I had not then discovered
that we could feel stronger claims
than the atfection of brother and
sister. I was the first to discover
the secret which she had scarcely
analyzed.
"At first my anger knew no
bounds. How dared she turn for
love to a stranger when we almost
worshipped her! Next to my par
ents, my whole heart was hers. She
was satisfied with this, and in my
madness I cursed the one whom I
foolishly said had robbed me of my
sister's love. And, worse than all,
the favored one was none other than
Paul Sherwood, the son of my fath
er's enemy. He had been my rival
for collegiate honors, and the sub
ject of my most cordial dislike.
'Edith, spare me fiom repeating
the cruel threats of my father when
I informed him of the unfortunate
attachment. Coralie, our poor dar
ling, upon whose ears a harsh word
had never fallen, was overwhelmed
with abuse, and ordered to prepare
for her departure to a boarding
school. When the sentence fell upon
her ears she trembled in every limb,
and, falling on her knees she wailed :
"Oh father, have pity I What
have I done? Do what you will,
only do not drive me from home!"
"You shall go, ungrateful, disobe
dient girl! How dare you give a
thought to Frank Sherwood's das
tardly son ? Talk to me about love !
I will make you conquer it, or I will
break your heart!"
"'Be it so then,' answered Cora
lie, in a hoarse, changed tone, rising
from her supplicating position, and
regarding onr enraged father with a
look of settled despair. "I will no
longer plead, but the time will come
when you would give your whole
life to recall the words you have
just tpoken, aud will look back upon
this day as the blackest in your life.
I have done no wrong in loving
Paul Sherwood. You cannot cause
me to forget him, and in the future
I hope the misery which I fear this
decision must occasion may be
averted."
"She turned and went from the
room, leaving him abashed and con
fused. Well might we have shrunk
for it seemed as if those deep, stern
eyes were gifted with prophetic
vision, and we felt that some day in
the future her ominous words wo'd
be realized. She had not glanced at
me. Well did she know that in my
jealousy I had advised this step. I
felt that I had forfeited all claim to
that idolatrous love she had ever
given me. Still, how could we give
her to another, and that other Paul
Sherwood, my rival and foe?"'
"In a few days all arrangements
were completed for her departure
aud with a feeling at my heart which
I cannot define, a foreboding of
evil, I watched the carnage bear
her away.
'jWith Coralie's departure all the
happiness of home seemed turned to
gloom. How could we realize how
sadly we would miss her? A set
tled melancholy was visible on my
mothers brow, and even my stern
father's was dampened with nightly
tears. Still she was ;iot recalled, and
drearily the days, weeks and months
dragged on.
"Paul Sheiwood never saw my
sister again. She would not diso
bey her parents. This was her un
alterable decision and farewell. And
in distant lands he roame, prema
turely old, a wanderer in the wide,
wide world.
"In Coralie's letters there was a
reserve that was apparent to all.
Manj' and kind were her inquiries
about home. She answered all
questions, but beyond this she never
alluded to herself, or expressed a
desire to return. Freely would the
request have been granted now, but
it never came. She scorned to ask
to return to a home from which s'ie
had been so cruelly driven.
"Winter rami', and while we were
gathered around the lire one even
ing, a dispatch was placed in my
father's hand. My mother's face
became ashen in its deadly hue, and
the sewing fell from her nerveless
fingess. With a calmness which he
did not feel, my father read it, groan
ed aloud, then handed it to me.
"Coralie was very ill; the indis
position with which she had been
afllicted had suddenly assumed a
violent form. All chance of recov
ery depended upon her immediate
removal to the South. The tidings
were gently expressed, but I remem
bered the frail, fragile creature so
sensitive and so cold, and that de
stroying angel consumptionwith
a shudder. Had it not been for me,
she might have been at home and
well.
"Without delay my agonized fath
er commenced his journey. In a
short time he returned, bringing
with him my dying sister, closely
mil filed up in furs, and whom he
bore in his arms as an infant. When
the carriage paused before the door
I sprang forward. She threw her
wasted arms around my neck and
sighed :
"'So I am home again, Buddie.
How sweet to be with yon all again.
Take me to mother."
"I read the fatal truth the minute
my eyes rested upon her wasted
features. A viyid crimson spot
burned on each check, beautiful as a
tropical flower; but I felt it was
sapping her life to maintain its
bloom. The eyes, in their splendor
rivalled the beauty and brilliancy of
twin stars, convincing proofs of the
ravages of that fatal disease con
sumption. "For days our dear invalid would
lie patient and resigned upon her
couch, the hectic flush still burning
upon her cheek, and every be it of
her pulse growing fainter. When
father spoke of Italy as a more con
genial clime, and wished to take her
there, she only replied with a sad
smile, and answered :
"'No, dear father, I shall be better
at home; and when the summer
time comes I shall be well and
strong once again.'
"When she would answer him
thus, father would turn away to con
ceal his anguish. She always spoke
of returning health, and he could
not tell her she must die.
"When summer clothed the earth
in green, and called the blossoms
from their tombs, it seemed as if
Coralie's prophecy about being well
again was to be fulfilled. She could
roam for hours in the flower-strewn
field, apparently happy and gay ; but
I would see her by stealth press her
hands upon her aching breast, and
in the dewy evenings she would
endeavor to stifle her cough ere it
reached our ears. Never for a mo
meut was that leaden weight of
despair raised from my heart, nor
was I cheated by those deceitful
promises, though my parents still
clung to the belief that she would
some time be well.
"One summer evening I sat in the
parlor window, almost concealed
from view by the falling lace aud
climbing vines. Coralie sat at her
harp near by, singing, in her sweet,
plaintive voice, "I would not live
alway." As the last note died away,
I turned to look upon her face, won
dering how long before her voice
would blond with that of the angels
around the throne of God. She
must have read my thoughts for
coming to my side she said :
"'You were thinking of me, Bud
die. Oh, how often lately have I
seen that strange look in your eye,
and read the secret which you wish
ed me to know, yet could not tell.'
" 'What secret, sister?' I asked.
"I have not been so blind, Buddie,
as you imagine. Do you not ask
yourself every time you think of me:
"Poor sister ! I wonder if she knows
she is dying ?' Yes, Buddie, I have
known it a long time; aud although
I am comparatively well now, and
free from pain, still I know that the
end of it all must be death, and that
I can never be again the Coralie I
was before I went to school.'
"I clasped the little figure in my
arms, and groaned:
"'0 sister, can God in heaven, can
you, my injured lamb, ever forgive
the cruel wrongs I have done you ?
Will not the demons of remorse
haunt every moment of my life, and
6hout in my ear through all eternity,
"Mufder! murder! murder!'"
"I felt her form quiver as she an
swered :
" 'O darling, do not speak so. It
was your wild, absorbing love for
me which prompted your conduct.
You will some time feel that love is
stronger than all kindred ties, and
forgive me for loving Paul, even,
better than I do you. And when I
am dead, I wish you to tell him I
loved him to the last. Give him a
a curl of my hair. Tell him to lead
a life so pure that when death shall
claim him I may open for him the
gates of Paradise. I am young to
die. The thought once gave me
horror, but lying owake in the long
hours of midnight, I have learned to
sec God's love in this decree. Better
to pass from earth in life's morning
than to struggle on through woe and
sorrow, and become estranged from
Him.'
"For a long time she spoke thus,
her head upon my breast and her
heart throbbing against my own ;
then when the evening dews fell I
bore her to the chamber from which
she was destincd-neveragain to pass.
She lived through the long bright
summer, but with the chilly winds
of autumn she faded and died.
"She lived until the first beams of
the rising sun kissed her pale brow ;
then a moment her mind wandered
back to the halcyon days of child
hood. Her hands were clasped as
they had so often been upon our
mother's knee. A faint voice whis
pered :
"I am tired, Buddie; let us say
our prayers."
"And with the words, 'Now I lay
me down to sleep,' upon her lips,
she passed from earth away.
"Edith, I cannot but think some
superhuman power sustained me
during that time of sadness. I saw
the shadow of death fall upon the
face which the rays of the sun were
trying to kiss into beauty and life.
I placed snowy blossoms in the
waxen fingers which were clasped
over the cold, pulseless breast; yet
not a tear drop moistened my eye.
I took my last kis3 from her lips,
and soon the coffin-lid hid her for
ever from sight. I heard the earth
rattling above her head, yet not the
tremor of a muscle betrayed the an
guish of my soul. I, who felt my
self her murderer, was outwardly
cold and calm.
"At my sister's newly-made grave
the old feud between my father aud
Mr. Sherwood was buried forever;
the tears coursed down his cheeks
as he stood at the grave of her whom
his son had loved so fondly, and
upon whom he, too, had frowned.
"O, Edith, my wife, my darling,
blessed as I feel myself in possess
ing your love, there is a void in my
heart which even you cannot fill.
Do you wonder now that, as you
say, a haunted look is sometimes on
my brow? I loved her with an in
tensity which a brother seldom feels.
Everything connected with her to
me 13 sacred, from the couch where
she suffered so long, to the pet bird
who knew her voice. When we
reach home, and you gaze upon her
picture, taken in the dawn of her
early womanhood ; when you study
the soul-lighted, exquisite face, you
will not wonder that I give so many
bitter tears to the memory of my
lost darling, Coralie."
"I am afraid," Baid a lady to her
husband, "that I am going to have a
stiff neck." "Not at all improbable,
my dear," replied her spouse, "I
have seen strong symptoms of it
I ever since we were married."

Itosa Bouheur, the wonderful an

fifty-seven, but looking twelve years

outdoor life and her enthusiasm for
her profession.

of the heroism of Miss Lawrence,

sprang in the saddle of the drunken

down the street, threw her shawl
over its head, just as he was about
to gore the child. She then reached
the child, lifted it into her lap, and
rode away in safely. It is a speci

Who cannot find one little grain
of comfort in this beautiful passage
from Emilc Souvestrc? BIessing3
on those true heart3 that scatter
from their stores, thoughts that shall
illumine the darkness of many a
lot! words that go down into the
depths of our griefs, and help us to
bear them ! lie says : "This morn
ing I was pitying those whose lives
are obscure and joyless ; now I un
derstand that God has provided a
compensation with every trial. The
smallest pleasure derives from rari
ty a relish otherwise unknown. En
joyment is only what we feel to be
such, and the luxurious man feels
no longer. Satiety has destroyed
his appetite, while privation pre
serves to the other that first of
earthly blessings, the being easily
made happy. Oh, that I could per
suade every one of this ! that so the
rich might not abuse their riches,
aud that the poor might have pa
tience." A lady iu Springfield, Mas3., has
been making some experiments in
putting up canned goods without
cooking. Heating the fruit tends
more or less to the injury of the
flavor, and the lady referred to has
found that by filling the cans with
fruit, and then with pure cold water,
and allowing them to stand until all
the confined air has escaped, the
fruit will, if then sealed perfectly,
keep indefinitely without change or
loss of original flavor.
Fact AboHt Farming.
Iu 1S57 a young man started from
Bcllcvuc near Omaha, with a small
pair of cattle and $-10 in money to
commence a farm, and in those days
there was not much confidence in
farming in this region. Ho lived
alone, worked hard and struggled
along with small returns, but was
persistent and never gayc up. With
in the past month wo had occasion
to enjoy his hospitality over night
and although through the interven
ing years wo frequently mot still tho
writer had no idea of his present
condition as seen on the recent visit.
First, wo found CIO acres (a mile
square) all enclosed with No. 1
osage orange hedge and gocd piue
board fence, a hundred acres of
pasture enclosed with the latter. A
large farm house with barns and.
very extensive sheds well built for
cattle, with windmills and all con
veniences. A yard for his lino hogs,
of which he has more than a few,
supplied with running water.
Groves of timber, now large, and a
willow hedge and wind break for a
mile on the north side. An orchard
of considerable extent, which fur
nishes apples for family use tho year
round; he had apples yet when w
were there to last till new ones
came; n large young orchard of
apples, cherries and other fruit alL
looking well. We went through tho
herd and found some splendid thor
oughbred milch cows, and steers fit
for tho market It was a fine sight
to see 14,000 worth of these march
ing out of the yarda in the morning;
to pasture, followed a flock of Cots
wold sheep, the finest we ever saw
in Nebraska. The lambs outnum
bered the ewes, showing care had
been taken during the lambing sea
son. We intend to ascertain the
amount of his clip and weight of the
fleeces. He has wisely given atten

is in much better greater demand
by the manufacturers than the me

by honest and persistent labor. We

The Journal opposes Democrats
for office, becanso it dislikes their
political principles. It knows if tho
Democrats get control of the offices
of the country that the policy of the
Government for the past nineteen
years will be reversed, and wc shall
return to the days of Polk, Pierce,
and Buchanan, the most disgraceful
period of our national history, w.hen
wo were controlled by the Jeff.
Davises, the Wigfalls, the Yanceys,
the entire brood that afterwards rose
in rebellion because they could not
carry the elections, and have the
privilege of breeding niggers for tho
Kansas market. The same men aro
mostly alive and control the Democ
racy of to-day, and they tae every
opportunity of asserting ti.it they
were right and have not repented.
But the Journal scorns the sneak
who, because a Democrat holds a lo
cal office, will lie about his official
acts, and then defy him to prove
that he is innocent. That reminds
us of another difference between
Democrats and Republicans in this
city, and other localities we can
mention. When a Democrat is elect
ed to an office he gets fair and gen
tlemanly treatment from Republican
newspapers and citizens generally,
a courtesy rarely returned by Dem
ocratic newspapers and politicians.

If Andrew Jackson were alive to
day be would be the most stalwart of
Republicans. Hia dying regret wa3
that he did not hang John C. Cal
houn. And why? Because Cal
houn promulgated the treasonable
doctrine of state supremacy. That's
just what the Democratic party U
doing to-day. That doctrine is the
seed that produced secession. An
drew Jackson Democrats are Repub
licans to-day, or at least all who
were Democrats from principle then-
Some cling to the old name with
out regard to the principles or ac
tion of the party. Where is the De
mocratic leader to-day who is heard
to say, "By the Eternal, the Union
must and shall be preserved?"
They are nowhere to be found.
Their cry is for states supremacy,
and effort is to tear the states asun
der, and weaken the general gover
nment. Nullification aud secession
are upon their banners, inscribed
there by their loud actions. Repub
licanism to-day means the preserva
tion of the Union. Democracy is
disunion. Ex.
