The Exeter Advocate, 1893-4-13, Page 6A Man of Our Town,
There was a man in ear town,
And ho was wondrous wise ;
There was not a soul the oquntry round
Whom he could not advise.
If a hone a neighbor planned,
And studied on it long,
Ile, oro the structure took its stand,
Would sure spy something wrong,
IfZhis opinion had been sought
ud e byfar-
Two I better been
It would have risen as it ought,
Withou a fault to mar.
Or if a friend a journey went,
Withoue. a single doubt,
If friend had asked, he could have sent
Flim by a better route.
Whatever others undertook
Re knew how it would tend,
And with his very sagest look
ale prophesied the end.
The knotty problems of the State
That puzzles every brain,
He could with ease elucidate,
And make exceeding plain.
And yet his aid was never sought
To guide the ship of State;
Ohl had it been what blessings wrought
We might commemorate.
But thusis modest merit spurned,
'
And cnscious worth kept back,
The world neer heeds ue till' we've earned
The things that most we lack.
And when at last he came to die,
In sadness I relate,
His own concerns, none could douy.,
Were iu a tangled. state.
For each man's business of him claimed
Much interest must be shown,
That when completed there remained
No time to mend his own.
Lent.
Each morning now the Lenten bells
Make music in the steeple ;
The avenues are swelled with swells,
The dear do-nothing .people ;
Society -the rich and great. -
Relaxing from its lattora.
Now gathers at tho church's gate
And meets its modest neighbors.
The women who, a month ago,
Dressed somewhat over -tightly -
Whose pretty faces used to glow
At balls aunt supp -re nightly -
Now clad in very sombre stuff
Go forth to prayers demurely,
Upon their bodies clothes enough
To keep them warm securely.
The men who nothing did but dance
At all the gay cotillions,
For forty days have had a chance
To balance up their millions •
And while the sweethearts and the wives
Attend the service formal,
The men are heedless of their lives
Su long as stocks are normal.
And thus it is that Lent goes past -
The doubter goes on doubting ;
The fast one has a chance to fast,
And get a moral outing
The good ones go the goodly way,
Tae sines keeps on sinning;
The pr lecher preaches twice a day
And has his decent inning. -Life.
Rustle Philosophy.
When the wintry winds are blowin' an' the
ground is white with snow,
An' the Ice King throws his f
.Afetters o'er the
streams,
Ain't it queer what pleasant mem'ries of the
summer time we know,
How allurin' the warm season seems 7
We oan almost hear the buzzin of the frowzy
bumble bee,
As he hovers o'er the blossoms in the san,
We can almost see the cherries on the over-
loaded tree,
An' the cows a-smilin' 'cause the grass hez
. come.
A clover -scented zephyr stirs the fields of
ripenin' grain,
On the fence the rooster crows until he's
hoarse,
While Dame Nature's all a-chuakleas she wel-
comes once again
The daisies and the butterflies of coarse.
An' then when summer does arrive we mop our
heated brow
An' wonder why the outlook seems so drear ;
The ioy blasts of winter we would gladly wel-
come now,
An' we scorn the balmy breezes. Ain't it
queer?
The Children's Land.
';know a land. a beautiful land,
Fairer than isles of. the East,
Where the farthest hills are rainbow -spanned,
1' And mirth holds an endless feast ;
Where tears are dried like the morning dew,
And joys are many and griefs are few -
Where the old each day grow glad and new,
And life rings clear as a bell ;
Oh 1 rhe land where the chimea speak sweet
and true
Is the land where the ldren dwell.
There are beautiful lands where the rivers
flow
Through valleys of ripened grain ;
There are Maas where armies of worshipers
know
No God but the God of Gain.
The chink of gold is the song they sing,
And ail their lifetime harvesting
.Are the glittering joys that gold may bring,
In measures they: buy and self;
But the land where love is the coin and king
Is the land where the children dwell.
They oras p in troops'through this beautiful
From morning till set of sun,
And the Drowsy Fairies have sweet dreams
planned
When the little tasks are done.
Here are no strivings for power and place,
The last are first in the mimic race.
All hearts are trusted, all life is grace,
And pease sings " All gees well." -
For God walks daily with unveiled face
In the land where the children dwell t

And, joy too exquisite to think upon,

From boughs or ledges

THE DANCING -MAS'TER'S ADVENTURE
An Abduotion Whish Brought Joy to
All But One.
HE night was clear and frosty, but
bitterly oold, as I, Dietrich Stein,
dancing maetor, shrank back
shivering into my corner of the
railway carriage, and wished my-
self safely home.
It had been a busy, tryiup day,
and I no longer poeseesed the
strength and elaetioity of spirits so neces-
sary to carry me through my duties. Tnere
was no denying the fact -my health was
giving way, and nothing but ruin remained
for me and my eight children -the eldest
not yet ten years of age. " How much
better for them could they have now been
lying beside their dead mother," was my
bitter reflection, " for then I should have
stood or fallen alone, and nob draggedothers
with me."
As the train stopped at the lash etation
before Kleinetadb, my destination, a man
jumped into the compartment and pro-
ceeded to settle himself in the corner'
faciug me. At first I eoaroely noticed him,
being occupied with my own thoughts ; but
as the train moved on again he leaned
forward, and after looking at me keenly for
a moment, said :
" Pardon me, sir, for addressing you so
abruptly, but time presses, and I have some
important questions to ask you, if you will
permit my doing so."
I bowed wonderingly.
" You are, I believe, Herr Stein -a.
dancing master -universally respected as an
honest and upright man !''.
This time my bow was deprecatory.
" You have a family ?''
" Yes sir ; eight children."
" Any of them six years old ?"
" Two boys of that age -twins."
" Dark or fair ? "
"Karl is very fair -Otto le dark ; but,
really, sir, if I may ask "-
"Patience, Herr Stein, I will explain
myself in a moment. Your profession often
calls von across the frontier ?"
" (have spent two days in M— every
week for the last six years."
" Do you sometimes take one of your
.children with you ? "
" Ooeasionslly I take one or two of the
children on a visit to their grandmother,
who lives at M—."
" You are well known by the officials on
the line ?"
" Perfectly so."
" Yon aremiserably, desperately poor? "
This was going too far, and I looked
across angrily ab my companion, who, how-
ever, never took his keen eyes from my
faoe, and seemed quite satisfied with my
wrathful answering nod.
" I know I must appear impertinent,". he
went on, " but let this be my excuse. 'I
have it in my power to put you in the way
of earning six thousand' marks, and merely
ask you in return to give rue some hours
of your time, swearing to keep abeolate
silence as to all that you may see, hear or
be called upon to perform, and asking no
questions. I amtsomething of a physiogno-
mist, and your faoe confirms to me the
high opinion of your character and manner
of life which some one lately expressed in
my hearing. I have followed you to -night
in order to judge of your fitness myself,
and; if necessary, lay the matter • before
you ; so now it remains with you alone to
decide whether the offer shall be accepted
or not."
's You must first tell me more," I stam-
mered, for the thouitht of the money, and
all that it would do for my poor children,
fairly dazzled me. " You must swear to
me on your honor that there is nothing dis-
graceful or unlawful in what you wish me to
do ; I cannot act blindly."
At this the man rose to hie feet, and
looking solemnly as me, swore by all he
held most sacred, that my part in this busi-
ness was strictly in accordance with law
and right ; then he sat down, and I having
agreed to help him to the best of my
ability, we fell to discussing matters in good
earnest.
By the time the train stopped at Klein-
atadt 1 knew exactly what I had to do,
although my friend -he gave no name -was
very careful to let out nothing more than
was absolutely necessary. It appeared that
on the following Friday morning, my usual,
day for going to Id—, I was to meet this
man and a little boy at a summer -house in
the wood above the town, bringing with me,
in the black bag I always carried when on
my rounds, a complete snit of my Karl's
clothes ; the little boy was to be
dressed in these, and he and I were
then to make for the station in time
to cat Ai the 9.40 train to M—. Dur-
ing the journey I was to pass off the
child as Karl, and be very careful at the
frontier, where there might be people on
the watch to stop him. Ab M-- I should
meet on the platform a tall man in a black
coat, who would hand me over my packet
of notes, and with whom I was to Ieave the
child.
It was all clear enough ; but as I walked
briskly homeward, I felt that for the first
time in my life I had got involved in a
mystery, and should have to play a double
part,
Friday came -a bright, frosty day -and
ab 9 o'clock I stood waiting in .the summer-
house. My friend soon appeared rather
breathless, and leading a little boy by the
hand. lie was a pretty child, jusb the size.
of my Karl, with wonderful, big_ blue eyes,
which had a wistful way oflooking at one,
and reminded me so much of my dead wife
that I took to, him at once.
" Now, Victor," said my friend, as we
changed the child's clothes, " you must be
very good and obedient to this kind gentle-
man, who is going to take you back to
mamma. You must play ab being his little
boy, and he will call you Karl." There-
upon he kissed the poor little fellow, who
clung .round his neck for a moment, and
then trotted off obediently with me to-
wards the station.
We were rather late, and just had time
to get our tickets and jump in before the
train was on. Our compartment was, for-
tunately, empty, so I had plenty of time to
drill the child in the part be was to play -
to remember that he was Karl, my little
boy, and wee going with me to visit grand
mamma ab NI— , to say that alt hie
brothers and sisters were quite well, etc.,
etc. He was aninteiligeat little fellow ,and
soon understood all' thea was required of
him, so in half an hour we had become very
gored friends.
By this time we were close to the frontier,
and as the train rolled into the station I
anzu iusly scanned the faces on the platfornn,
to see if any one seemed to be on the look-
out for ue but apparently my fears were
1 soundless, so, leading Victor by the hand,
made my way to the Custom House and
offsted by beg for examination, This was
soon over, and then I fell into ennversation
with an nffieial---urn old friendof mine -who
patted Victor on the head and told him he
was a fine little fellow and a credit to his
father.
tact then a Mea, who had been lounging
abut eying tie for some time, pushed hie
way past me end asked the child abruptly:
" What's your nauree, my boy ?"
1 or one Metal moment iny' heart betided
to stand still , but AM that bloated child
answered quite readily, "Karl Stein, air."
" And where are you going to, Master
Karl Stein ?"
"I'm going with my� papa to M— to
see my graudmamma. Here Victor, feel-
ing a tribe uneasy, put his hand into mine
with a confiding gesture, whioh appar-
ently convinced the detective, or spy, or
whatever the creature called himself, that
he h
ad made al' d a slight mistake, eke, a0 he
lounged away again, puffing an immense
cigar, and casting a glance towards us from
time to time.
I thought that half hour at the station
the longest I had ever epent in all my life;
but most thioge Dome to an end, and at lust
we were told to take our places in the train,
I eat down by the window, with Victor on
my knee, and watched all the bustle and
confusion on the platform, feeling heartily
thankful that nay anxieties were safely
over.
Nothing further occurred toalarm me,
and by the time we reached M-- Victor,
child -like, was chattering away as gayly as
ever.
Directiy we stepped upon the platform a
singularly handsome young man in a long
cloak advanced
to meat us, and was delight-
edly welcomed by the child, who hung on
to his hand in a sorb ofecstasy of joy, as
though he could never bear to let it go
again.
When. I had received my packet of notes,
together with many warm expressions of
thanks, from the gentleman of the cloak,
and had taken an affectionate leave of my
little oharge, I lost no time in setting out
on the usual round of business, feeling
somehow as though I had been living
through a chapter in a novel, and that a
very anxious and uncomfortable one.
A week later, as I was sitting at a
restaurant, glancing through a newspaper,
one paragraph caught my eye ; it was
headed :
ABDUCTION OF errn DUO DE LIEVRE ;
RETURN OF THE STOLEN MILD
and ran aa' follows
" Greatexoitemenb has been caused dur-
ing the last week in Paris by the successful
capture of the little Duo de ',Were, who
was restored to his almost heartbroken
mother early last Saturday morning.: Many
of our readers may doubtless remember the
circuinstanoss of his disappearance six
months ago, and few can have forgotten
how public opinion pointed' to the Comte
d'Etienne, cousin of the late Dao de Ltevre,
and heir to theimmense' family estates, in
the event of the death of their youthful
proprietor, as the certain author of this
heartless abduction, for it is well known.
that e. life of riot and excess had reduced
him almoat to penury, and that ruin stared
him in the face.
s" It is now oouclasively proved that his
was the villainy that plotted against the
liberty of an innocent child, for on hearing
that hie .young cousin had been restored
eafa and well to his mother'sarms, he re-
tired to a distant part of the house and
blew out bis brains. From all that is known
at present, it appears that the young Duke's
whereabouts was disoovered by Herr Anton
Becker, an old family friend, who succeeded
in tracing him to his prison, a half -ruined
country -house near Kteinstadt, in Alsace.
" Being himself an Alsatian by birth, and
therefore a master of the German language,
Herr Becker was able toform an acquaint-
anceship with the woman whose duty ib
was to wait upon the young Duke, and to
succeed at length in bribing her to allow
hint to oarry off the child ; for the Comte
d'Etienne had of late grown rather remiss
in the payment of wages, and his servants
were growing proportionately lukewarm in
their fidelity to his interests."
Herr Becker, my friend of the railway
carriage, called on me next day, bringing
with him a letter from the Duchess, Victor's
mother, in which she thanked me a thou-
sand times for all that I had done for her
little boy, and offered to defray every
expense of Karl's and Otto's bringing-up
until they should be fairly started in life ;
and I may as well conclude by saying that
she, the: Duchesses de Lievre, and her son
have always remained faithful friends to .
me and mine ; and that, thanks to them,
though I am now an old man, I can still
hold up my head with anyone, and be proud
to own myself.-Thernicir STEM, dancing

Sunday. Like Harper's, the Century and

sacred poems that have to be early on the

that, curiously and wonderfully made,
must be fashioned anddisplayedin
, timeto.
attune the soul to the grateful religious joy
demanded by so triumphant a day.
Long before the advent of Christianity
the festival of Easter was celebrated as a
joyful holiday season, commemorative of
the birth of returning spring, of the blessed
time when the sun's rays grew warmer and
stronger, the trees began to throw out their
young green and the singing birds returned
from their southern homes to the late
silent and gloomy forests of the north.
Very wisely the Churoh took advantage of
so natural and beautiful a popular festival,
and sought to life and sanctify it by allying
it with a new spirit of thanksgiving for the
rising of the Sun of Righteousness on the
darkness and chill of the heathen night.
But none the less the festival continued
on, a popular holiday time which
the rade Teutonic maidens, though
in their day and generation guiltless, of
bonnets, undoubtedly strove to glorify with.
!towere and birds' feathers in their hair ;:in
fine, with every kind of personal adorn-
ment the imperfect millinery privileges of
the day put at their disposal. So all down
the succeeding ages in Europe did the
Easter festival preserve its original features,
a combined worship of sunnier days, of
congratulation that winter was gone, of
delight in reviving nature and the springing
up of a new 'flora in feminine gear -the
whole innocently blended in many with
genuine thanksgiving for the deeper religious
significance of the day,
Of course it were devoutly to be wished
that there were some canonical authority
strong enough to institute entirely separate
festival days for pure religious worship and
the promulgation of the latest edict of the
goddess of fashion. Certain prominent
divines have said that all through their
sermons on Meter day, they could not help
being haunted with the sense that they
were preaching outdoors in tulip time, to so
resplendent a floral congregation of rival
reds, yellows, purples, whites, crimson and
carnations that all their own most glowing
figures of speech became as it were 'washed
out and absolutely neutral in tint. To hold
the attention of so many woman in a craze
to see what so many other women had on
seemed a feat beyond the powers of the
angel Gabriel.
Still, seeiog that it cannot be helped, may
not some favorable word be said of a grow-
ing custom that is now sweeping on with
the irresistible force of a flood ? Alas 1 the
number is few of the saints who can enjoy
religion simply for religion's sake, and
would rather retire into toe secret chamber
of the soul, and there commune in atflinese,
than be 'distracted by the most amazing
bonnet Virot ever designed in her highest
hour of artistic inspiration. Is it not, how-
ever, something that, through this attractive
blending of the sacred and the seoular, tens
of thousands are got out to church who
otherwise would have stayed at home ?
What impression may be made by the
solemn music, the heartfelt prayer, the
opening vista into the immortal life, none
but the infinite Searcher of Hearts
oan know. There is oftentimes a
marvellous mixture of surface lev-
ity and deeper inward piety in
many a mind, particularly in the minds of
the young. Spells, between bonnets, of
deeper reflection are a curious phenomenon
of human nature it will never do to ignore
or underrate. How the Pall Mall dandies
charged at Waterloo, n
afar o, a dhow many a girl
that once seemed mere ribbons and dancing
matures into the best of wives and mothers 1
So let not the divines despair of their Easter
tulip -beds congregations,g
pnor feel that there
are no colors in which they may paint
heaven whioh can hope to vie in splendor in
their hearers' minds with those actually be-
fore their eyee. In the very throngs thus
brought out lies, perhaps, the preacher's
rarest chance. Cicero said that the best
training school of the orator lay in faoing a
howling mob. Why not, then, the sacred
orator's best training school in solemnizing,
transfixing, bowing low in humility ouch a
seeming Vanity Fair as this ?
Long Hair and Gelitus.
Long hair was in vogue among musicians
and artists long after it ceased to boworn
by the rest of mankind, says a writer in the
London Graphic. The long-haired artist,
with his velvet coat, his sombrero and his
mysterious cloak, has altogetherdisap
peered, and lengthy looks only linger now-
adays, with a few exceptions, on the head
of the musician. Indeed, this luxuriant
thatch would appear to exercise a potent in-
flames oa audiences, for it is said, in the
agreement of a notable pianist about to
go on foreign tour, there was a special
clause that he shall not have his Bair cub.
This possibility is an invention, but it is an
extraordinary thing that musicians are well
nigh the may people left who give
but limited employment to the shears
of the barber. It is also a fact
that their hair flourishes better than moat
people's. I have recently heard a theory
that the great prevalence of baldness in the
present day is entirely due to the constant
close cropping, which has existed for the
last five and twenty years. If you look at
the portraits of celebrities of thirty or forty
years ago, you will be perfectly astonished
at ,.the carefully arranged coiffure which
meandered over their eoab collars, and you
feel inclined to begin singing, " Get yer
'air out," without farther delay. You will
,also be amazed to learn that most of them
retained this extraordinary growth to the
end of their days. It is sincerely to he
hoped that the theory* Dory which line recently
been started will not be the means of the
intro iuctiou of a race of longhaired men.
