How can I serve you?” and aman of splendid physique, and striking ap- earance arose from a blanket, upon which he had ndolently thrown himself, and turned his fearless, flashing eyes full upon the one who had asked the question. Before him General Custer beheld a personage who at ones won his admiration, for he was tall, superbly formed, attiredin a full suit of handsome- ly worked buckskin, beaded moccasins, and dove- eolored slouch hat, ornamented with a black feather and silver cord. His face was bronzed by exposure, strikingly handsome, and upon every feature rested an ex- ression of determination and fearlessness, while eneath his long, silken, dark-brown mustache glistened even rows of the whitest teeth. He was splendidly mounted upona roan mare, with silvery mane and tail, and wore athis saddle horn a long hair lasso, while upon either side were holsters, out of which peeped the ivory-mounted butts of revolvers. At his back was slung an Evans Repeating Rifle, containing thirty-four shots, which in steady hands, and with a keen eye was good for as many enemies, should the rifleman be brought to bay. In his belt were two more revolvers, silver-mount- ed, and a long, glittering knife. He certainly was aremarkable-looking man, and so thought General Custer, as he gazed upon him. Springing to the ground, the horseman politely saluted, and said, in clear, distinct tones: “T sought you, general, to ask of you a favor.” “Name it, sir.” “It is to accompany you upon the war-path— to go with you onthe march after the Sioux’ and Cheyennes now in arms.” “In what capacity would you go in ?” “Simply as an independent scout—to be free to} act my own will at all times,and be subject to no orders from you or any of vour officers.” “This is certainly a strange request, sir; if we take scouts, they are supposed to obey orders the same as private soldiers must.” “Tt is not myintention to disobey orders, General Custer; Isimply do not wish to be bound by any restraint notto act asI please. I know you by reputation, sir, as a most dashing and gallant offi- cer, and in following your lead, I feel that I ean get perhaps farther into the Indian country, than under any other officer, and that is my desire. Why Iwish to go I cannot make known to you, though one day perhapsI may. If you will allow me to go with you, I will carry my own rations, fire my own ammunition, and endeavor to serve you all in my power as a scout. I ask for no pay, nay, would take none. I desire to enter the Indian country, and——” ‘ “Would use my boys as ashield against harm?” Exactly, general: Itis dangerous for one man to go now.” “You must bea newspaper correspondent, sir,” said the general, with a smile. “No, sir, 7 aman avenger,” and the stranger spoke with fierce energy. Butthe next moment he con- tinued quickly: But I will say no more—can I go with you, general.” The general was silent fora moment, and then beckoned to Lieutenant Cook, his adjutant, who was lying on his back, smoking and day-dreaming in the shade, and the two held a brief conference in a low tone, Then General Custer said politely, yet firmly. “Ag an enlisted man, a courier, or a scout, under regular orders, I would be glad to take you: but as an independent ranger, subject to only your own will, I cannot think of such a thing.” “This is your decision, general?” and ashade of disappointment crossed the face of the mysterious stranger.” “Tt is, sir, and Imust say I am sorry, for you look like a man who is not afraid to face death.” “One time to die to me, general is just as good as another, though I certainly shall cling to life until the end [ have in view is accomplished. General, I wish you asuecessful expedition against the Sioux, and you must not be surprised if we meet again.” So saying the horseman sprang into his saddle, raised his hat, and his thoroughly-trained steed bounded away from the ve camp, leaving Gen- eral Custer gazing after him and wondering at his strange request. “T have seen that man somewhere before, and I feel that I shall see him again, but when and where?” and so speaking half aloud, General Cus- ter threw himself again upon his blanket, and idly watched the scene spread out before him—a cavalry bivouac upon the rolling prairie. CHAPTER II. THE WARNING. Brightly the sun shone down and glittered upon the arms of a cavalry regiment winding slowly along the bank of the Little Horn river, and cau- tiously approaching a distant bend, where the stream wound around a high hill, above which lazy columns of bluesmoke curled upward to mingle with the blue skies. That curling smoke denoted the village of the Sioux, the home of. the famous Indian chief. Sitting Bull, and thousands of his reckless warriors. That column of cavalry, moving slowly to the at- tack, was the gallant Seventh regiment under the leadership of the still more famous pale-face chief, General Custer. At a slow trot the troopers rode along, their dash- ing commander at their head, and merrily tinkled the spurs, gayly clashed the sabers, heavily re- The Crimson Trail, Continued on page three. e \A Little Queen.

As she sits before iin in her lustrous silks and jewels, her serene, high-bred face, and trainant2 voice, she has all the “stilly emai il’ manner of areal grand dame.

She tells him.oef her. winter.in Washington, and of the celebrities, foreign, political, literary, and musical, she has met there. But her usual ani- Imation is wanting; it is not to talk of these things she has asked him to come here. She is rarely at a loss, but she seemsto be somewhat so to- night, and it is Mr. Longworth himselfwho, as the clock strikes nine, breaks the ice. “y ou made some allusion t@ business this after- oon,” hes musi “Is it anything in. whieh I can - fservice?

Still it is well to have these things settled and done with.” **And, Laurence, I have made you my heir.” It has come.

Inany case I shall not usurp their right.” **You absolutely refuse?” “T absolutely refuse. It is quite me to take this inheritance of your ters.” “You are magnanimous,” she says, with a briet and very bitter laugh. ‘You are one of the world’s wonders, a man who can refuse a fortune.” “I don't think Istand alone,” he says, coolly. “Think better of mankind, my dear madame. I fancy I know some men who would decline to rob twoorphan girls of their birthright.

This is their Sone you are their mother. .Forget the past, let deat blot it out; send for thes e young ladies, and tat them be the comfort and blessing of your later life.’ She sits, her quiet hands folded, stung—deeply stung in her affection for this man, andin her pride. He sees the diamonds darting rays of fire on her fingers, and at her throat, sees the hard, cold look that sternly sets-her face. “This is your final and absolute decision?” she asks in a low voice. ‘‘You will not think twice—you will not change your mind?” ‘*T will not change my mind. sible.” ‘Not even,” she says, looking at him fixedly, “it I refuse once and for all to have these French girls here, and leaye the fortune you despise to the town?” *“Noteven then. Nothing can alter in the slight- est degree the decision I have just e xpressed.” “You are indeed a man of iron mold,” she says, with that slight, bitter smile. “Well, I will not press the matter. Only one point more. Suppose at my death the will [ have-iast made-is found intact— what then?” “Then it will become my duty to search out your | granddaughters, and transfer it to them without an | hour's loss of time.” “Very well.” She takes from the pocket of her | dress a letter, removes the envelope, and passes it iohim. ‘*Read that,” she says, briefly Longworth obeys—it is written in delicate femin- ine tracery, and is brief enough: “LONDON, April 17th, 18—. “MADAME OUR GRANDMOTHER: Twomonths ago our father died, and his latest wish was, that we would write this letter and goto you. All the letters we have sent have been unanswered, even that written by our mother on her death-bed, beseeching you to take pity on her children.

We desire to know and to love you, madame, and with the most affectionate sentiments we are, your granddaughters, MARIE AND REINE LANDELLE,”? Longworth finishes the letter and looks up with a half ismile, “Tid you ever read anything more coolly audac- ious?” she demands in suppressed anger. “It is a cool production, certainly; its author I) judge to be an eminently self-possessed and resolute | young lady.

Mr. Longw rth, will you be the one to meet them? I would not trouble you, but that you tell me you are going to New York.” “Tt will be no trouble; it will be a great pleasure Yes, I will meet them and bring them home.” And then silence falls, and in that silence the clock on the mantel strikes ten. Longworth rises. **As I start by.the firsttrain I will get to bed be- times. Good-night, my dear Mrs. Windsor, and for two or three days, good-by.’ ““Good-by,” she says, and rises and looks full in his eyes. ‘You have disappointed me more bitterly to-night, Laur ence, than I eyer thought mortal man could do again.’ “But you do not care for me‘the less, IT know,” he answers. “Your regard is something I Hold very precious; I cannot affordto lose it. How truly I return it, how profound is my gratitude to-night, it would be useless for me totry to tell» From my 1eart I thank you.” He holds both her hands in his close, warm grasp. He is the least demonstrative of men; to most people he. is-.cold, silent, selfcentered, but this widowed mother’s regard for him has ali ays seemed in his eyes a sacre dl and pathetic thing. He is out more in the still starlight, wind less and warm. Two of Fortune’s kisses in one day—well, yes, it is rather odd. To decline these kisses seems’ to him no particular heroism—nothing more than any man of principle might do. He Would like well enough to. be a rich man, but not at the cost of self-respect. Ifhe held no other code than the old Pagan code of honor, if he were not a Christian gentleman, that“code of honor would still compel him to do ashe had done to-night. **T may’as well write to Chapman, too,” he thinks, “and make an end of it. My uncle took me up twenty years ago, andlelme go adrift on the world after—my own fault, I know, but it is rather late in the-day to whistle me back.

Mr. Longworth is up betimes next morning, and on his way tothe office. He has a few letters to answer, and instructions to give to his chief staff officer, O'Sullivan. These do not occupy him long; as eight strikes he is standing on the piazza of the white house, looking out over the broad bay, with its multitudinous waves flashing in the sunshine, and listening to the shrill chattering of the little brown sparrows in the trees. Suddenl ya harsh, discordant voice breaks the sylvan silence croaking his name. ‘Larry! Larry! Larry!” shrieks this hoarse voice. “Kiss me, Larry! You're a fool, Larry! you’re a fool! Oh, demmit!” “Ah! yowre there, are you?” says Longworth, glancing at an upper window where the author of these remarks sits in the sun, “You're a fool, Larry! a fool, a fool! mit!

Polly's principal command of language isin English, but she can swear with ad- mirable fluency in two orthree other languages.

But unless the power of beauty is greater than even I give it credit for (and I credit it with being the greatest power of earth) Mrs. Windsor won’t, They must have de- signs upon her fortune too, nothing else would have brought them. What would they, say, I wonder, if they ‘knew of that willmate last winter ?” As he thinks it, a sudden inspiration flashes upon him, so brilliant "an »idea- that he smiles in @ grim fashion to himself. ‘Upon my word, that would be an easy way to reconcile difficulties, do the correct thing, and gain a couple of millions. I cannot take Mrs. Windsor’s money, but I could marry la belle blonde and take half of it. Grandmamma would not decline the al- liance, and if mademoiselle isso keen for a fortune she would not refuse it even with the incumbrance of a husband. It would be worth while on both sides, and though itis not for an outside barbarian to judge of conjugal bliss, I think it would be pleas- ant to look ata face like ‘that across the breakfast- table three hundred and sixty-five days every year.

Ifa hippo- pot: amus, or an elephant were easy trifles to get or keep, a hippopotamus and an elephant Frank would have. His first enterprise when he desires to render himself agreeable to a young lady, is to give her a dog, just as any other centleman’s s would be to present her with a bouquet, “Tot might,’ responded Longworth, “but her mother wouldn’t ; she abhors the canine race.

They were led forth to the portal, where a cuiprits’ cart awaited to receive them, and as rong force of gend armes was drawn up to escort them through the busy streets of Warsaw. The tyrannical director had mounted a noble steed which his groom had led up to the portal, anc d there he sat P roudly over- looking the scene prepared by his direction, little drea iping that his despotic sway rested upon a foundation Jess tenable than Pa id. Just ag the last order had been given for the movement of this formidable escort of the Polizei, loud strains of martial music r, and in another moment the the Imperial Legion of Warsaw wheeled into th e avenue, in ple toons reachi J irb to curb, and mé arched, in quick time, directly toward the escort oe Polizei, the van of which had already advanced & 1e' F A halt of the latter force was or ‘dered, and an a made on the left side of the street, still opposite the Jew’s prem- ises, to allow room for the military force to pass, while the cart containing the three prisoners was backed, in a most unmilitary manner, Oras ifit had been a cart of offal to be dur nped, over the sidewaik, into a vacant space opposite the Jew’s m: unsion, A large concourse of spectators had already assembled, and others were thronging from eyery direction, attracted by the splendid musie.of the band. Kiyow, supposing that the regime! nt of military were merely out Ou a parade, ordered the customary salute to a passing body of soldiers, But to his infinite surprise, the rear platoons formed into one solid phalanx, three lines ‘dec p, directly across the whole width of the street, incl he g sidewalks, while double files of the center. deployed to the right and_left, taking up a po- sition both in front and rear ot the gendarmerie. Three com- panies of the van proceeded on until they had reached the left of the polizef line, when they halted, thus completely hemming in the whole body of the latter, iucluding the chief director, his deputies and stz uff, much to their amazement, if not to their ap- prehension of some great calamnity. They looked on with speechless solicitude to learn the object of this maneuver; for when the gallant Zolinski, on hisnoble war- charger moved slowly by, he recognized not, neither by salute or look, the chief director and his servile de puties. Presently, while martial strai s yet filted the air, voices from the assembled t hr ong, shouted— “The viceroy! the viceroy! Long live Blbikoff ?” The band immediately struck up the national anthem, while two. barouches—the one containing the viceroy and his premier, while in the other were seated two others of his ministry, the whole being escorted by a detachment of cavalry of the yice- roy’s body guard, approached. The cortégé passéd into the in- closure made by Zolinski’s peeiment, and the carriage ef the viceroy halted at the enterance of the Jew’s mansion, where the director and his deputies still awaited the unexpec ted denoue- ment of this unusual scene. Bibikoff arose as the chief director and alighted from his carriage. At the mounted. “To what cause are we to attribute th fore the residence of a private citizen ?” addre sing r the chief director. “Por the:proper discharge of the duties of my office, your high- ness,” repl lied Kiyow. “Why has a cordon of pacing about this peaceful abode?’ isfied with the first answer. “To prevent the escape of convic ts and suspected ‘persons. ” “And who are these that do merit thy vigilance ?” “One Lewis.

This wonderfully expressive and richly poetical gem in Scripture—unapproached in purity, moral beauty, and grandeur by any mortal effusion of an- cient or modern time, though familiar in its text to every man, woman, and child, almost, throughout the civilized world—is really, in its vast comprehen- siveness and unrivaled depth of thought, generally but indifferently appreciated. A correspondent of the New YorK WEEKLY writes us that it was his fortune one day, many years ago, to be present at a little gathering in Cincinnati, O., where the elder Booth (the famous actor) aston- ished the company by reverently repeating this grand prayer for their edification. “From my earliest childhood,” continues our friend, “having been taught it at my mother’s knee, I was, like most other Americans, familiar with its words, and had a common idea of the pathos and wondrgus beauties embodied in this brief but loy- ing appeal to ‘Our FarHer, which art in Heaven.” But until I listened to the marvelous rendering of this grand poem, on the occasion referred to, by Mr. Booth, Ihad never conceived how majestic, how moving, how impressive, is the sublinve lan- guage in which this prayer is clothed! “At the conelusion of its delivery, the listeners were so deeply impressed with this extraordinary performance that no one seemed inclined to move for several minutes afterward. We were spell- bound, astonished, lost in admiration, at the curi- ously effective result in listening to this effort by this actor. “Every sentence, every word, every syllable of the prayer was uttered so fondly, so earnestly, so de- youtly, yet so trustingly, and, withal, so musically, that we were lost in wonder at this surprising ora- torical achievement, “And when one of the party expressed the admi- ration of all present at being permitted to listen to this wondrous rendition of the Lord’s Prayer, Mr. Booth replied, enthusiastically: ‘This grand effu- sion has no equal in the languages of the earth. It embodies the Alpha and the Omega of piety, mor- als, religion, and truth; and, above all, the right- eousness, the forbearance, the goodness, the justice, and the beneficence of Almighty God—Our Father in Heaven. Hallowed be His name!’ And a mo- ment afterward, Mr. Booth observed: ‘I had stud- ied this wonderful prayer in my closet for more than ascore of years assiduously, before I dared trust myself to repeat it thus, publicly. It is too grand, too ample, too majestic, too wonderful throvghout, ever to have fallen from lips or pen not inspired.’ ” Any man who may have once chanced to listen to its reverent and striking rendering ky the natu- rally eloquent and deeply sensitive speaker I have mentioned, (the father of Edwin Booth,) will never forget the extraordinary impression forced upon his mind, of the vastness, the beauties, and the richness of thought embraced in this admired Bib- lical effusion. —————__>-e- Do Women Drink ? It is an undeniable fact that more women drink now than six or ten years ago; and it is an unde- niable fact that in the large cities the subject is one of ever-increasing interest. Many excuses are given for this state of things; some have learned to love liquor from using it as a medicine; others because it was pleasant to know how to take at fashionable gatherings, and some have been the victims of an inherited appetite. At all events, the many have drank, do drink, and there is now what there has not always been for them—a retreat to hide their misfortune in. Near New York, and quite overlooking it, is one great institution where ladies who are given to liquor-drinking find a shel- ter; and doubtless before many years are past, this Home will be but one of many in this locality. If women will drink, they must be taken out of the home cirele (notice here, please, the difference be- tween a man and a woman drunkard), and the subject of their regeneration and salvation is one of peculiar interest to the great masses of people, particularly of women, who, thank God! are not lovers of liquors, or even fond of those who are. ———_—_—_»>— Hope for Fat Men. Men who are overburdened with flesh, and find exercise inconvenient in warm weather, may de- rive benefit from the discovery of a French physi- cian, who positively asserts that liberal doses of sea-water will reduce their avoirdupois. The phy- sician states that sea-water, taken internally, acts like diuretic and purgative salts, with this peculi- arity—that when the purgative diminishes the diuretic effect increases. To be most effective the water should be procured some distance from the shore, allowed to settle six or eight hours, and then filtered. A tumblerful three times a day is the pre- scribed quantity. Sea-water, thus used, facilitates the oxygenation of the blood, and ejects impurities from thesystem. Fat fellows who have vainly tried Banting’s system, have accomplished wonders in reducing their weight by the simple means above described. Butit should be borne in mind that frequent sea bathing and vigorous exercise must be combined with the internal treatment; and to secure the best results fattening food should be avoided, or sparingly used. Men of aldermanic proportions, who wish to decorate their fat with an occasional streak of lean, will now rush to the sea- side, and patiently test the thinning quality of salt- water. —_—__—_>0~ An English exchange informs us that in the Sa- moan Islands the payment of taxes is actually a matter of rejoicing and festivity. A grand holiday is held, and free-will offerings aresometimes added to the legal payment. New Yorkers view this duty in a different light. They march to the tax-collect- or’s office with knitted and gloomy brows, search- ing their memory for hard words to sling atthe assessors, and thoroughly convineed that the country is going to the dogs.

We don’t like them at lectures, or concerts, or at the opera, or theater. They make too much music that is not down on the programme. Music which we have not paid for; and in listening to it, we feel as if we were swindling somebody. “Obtaining goods under false pretenses.” Babies are charming, and when they have pepe clothes, it ie moe natural that their mothers shoul want to exhibit them. They like to take them out, and to imagine that their neighbors are as delighted with them as they are. } This is about the style of greeting with which a baby, and its mother, are received at the public gathering, to their faces: | s “Oh, what a lovely child! Such beautiful eyes! He looks as if he never saw the sun. How do you keep him so white and delicate? Dear little ching I dote on babies. How exquisitely he is dressed. How proud you must be of him. What do you call him if He ought to have such a sweet name,” etc., eto., ete. ; ; The mother is delighted with her reception, and the baby’s reception—and resolves to take him out on every occasion. If she could only hear what is aie behind ner back, it might perhaps change her eeling of complacency. “Mrs. Brown was there, with that baby of hers, odious little fright! I never saw such a nose ona child in my life. And how it did yell! You couldn’t hear your ears. ad a young one, I’d leave it at home. A woman has no right to bring a baby to disturb people. And somebody ought to tell her 80 » The last time we were at the opera, baby was there. He was of the male persuasion, and_ he was pretty, and round, and rosy, and his glothes were of the best materials, and trimmed and em- broidered lavishly. . He didn’t blame his mother for being proud of him, and for wanting to show his fine feathers. If there had only been some piece of machinery by which she could have pumped the screech out of him before starting and left it at home, we should have been delighted with his presence. But unfortunately that contrivance has not been invented. ; So in the first act, at the most tender and thril- ling part, where the handsome fenore is singing his love song to the beautiful soprano, and every breath is hushed to listen, and every ear is strained to catch the melting strains, that baby bursts out with his very loudest and shrillest—“yah! yah! yah!” and runs the sound along till his breath is ex- hausted; andthen,seemingly angry atthe failure of his wind, heculminates in a squeal far higher than the upper C of the gifted soprano, and then sets in for a regular north-east storm of crying, and kick- ing, during the reign of which the tenore’s soft voice of love rises to a defiant snort, and the soprano’s anger shows through all the layers of pearl powder. The manager swears behind the scones ; the “‘supes” laugh among themselves, and the audience, with one accord, are ready to demand the instantaneous execution ofthat baby. | ‘ But the doting mother is unconscious of every- thing except the fact that her darling is crying; and the fear that he may be going to-+have the colic, or thecroup, or that there may be apinstick- ing in him somewhere. And she trots him, and caresses him, and tosses him up in che air, and says: “§-h-sh,” to him in avery audible tone; and itis plain tothe experienced eye that it is with great difficulty she refrains from bursting out with the “by, low, baby,” to which he is accustomed. Of course, our feminine heart deeply sympa- thizes with her, but away down, out of sight, we are conscious of the existence of a wish that she and that baby both were on the other side of the Atlantic. KATE THORN. —_—_——_——_>-9~—_____—_ A Brooklyn political orator, more enthusiastic than intelligent, excited the laughter of his audi- ence, the other evening, by extravagantly praising Rutherford B. Hayes for his Arctic explorations. He acted as if ashower of pulverized ice had been drained through his spine when a friend told him that “that Hayes was another fellow.” LIFE ON THE RAIL. BY CHESTER F. BAIRD. No. 2-—DUTY BEFORE DEATH. Few people in the ordinary occupations of life give a thought to the employees of a railroad over which they so smoothly and safely glide. i if perchance they do, they in all probability think of the engineer as a rough, careless, reckless per- sonage, whose only thought is to get over the road as quick as maybe, and who starts up so abruptly -agto endanger the precious limbs of those who make it a point to alight at every station. They think of the conductor in much the same way as he goes his hurried rounds with his “Tick- ets!” and remark on how abrupt and seemingly erusty his answers are,and the impatience with which he regards every delay. They do not think of the many weary rounds he makes, the many hundred questions he is pestered with—that in addition to collecting tickets and fares he is continually running over his time-card in his mind, and where, judging bythe time his engine can make, he can go for a certain train. ‘or instance, he is late, and has “lost his rights ;” that is, his has become an irregular train, being out of time, and must be kept out of the way ofall trains of the same class that are on time. He cal- culates to anicety what speed his engine can attain with his train,and,to get over the road with as little delay as possible, must figure on how close he can run to the time of another train so that it may not be delayed an instant. A mistake of a few sec- fonds will be his ruin,and cost many lives. He must keep a constant and close watch for signals at all the stations, and for flags carried on engines of other trains. He must keep in mind his passen- gers, and see that they get off at the right stations. He must: so study and familiarize himself with every passenger that he may not be “taken in” by any railroad swindler. His mind is on acontinual strain, and yet he must find time to make a good impression, to answer unimportant and oftentimes unnecessary questions, or be styled quick, abrupt, ill-mannered, and “a rough railroad man.” When next you may have occasion to ask a ques- tion of a conductor on duty, do not be impressed with the idea that he is nota gentleman if you Fre- ceive a hurried,and it may be abrupt, answer, but with the fact that his mind is so occupied with the multiplicity of his duties that he has not the time to answer at more length. : Beneath the gruff exterior of the majority of our railroad men beat as true and tender hearts as may be found the world over. Their sympathies are as great,and their feelings open to distress, and as easily wrought upon. ‘ Iremember a case in point, in which poor Jac Miller, who was the subject of our first sketch, was a prominent actor. One stormy night the night express left C—— with but few passengers. Thetrip would have been an uneventful one enough had not a lady in the second coach fallen suddenly ill. There were only a half- dozen passengers in the car, among them a kind, motherly old lady, who cheerfully did all in her power to alleviate the sufferings of the sick Jady. Asshe grew rapidly worse,the conductor was sent for, and the old lady, taking him aside, impart- ed certain information which visibly enlarged his optical organs, and sent the ehills chasing each other down his spinal column as he stared in dis- may. He, however, immediately cleared the ear of the other passengers, and bethought himself of ge- nial, kind-hearted Jack Miller, who was familiar got sickness, being a husband, and a father to oO ith the assistance of the old lady and Jack, he next made quite acomfortable couch with the aid of divers coats and cushions. Forty miles from the end of the run a bouncing boy was added to the list of passengers, and a shirt taken from the conductor’s yalise constituted its first dress. | Of course it was ‘“‘a dead-head,” although an ex- ceeding live baby, as was attested by the echoes it awoke inthe old coach, which were plainly heard above the grinding roar of the wheels. _ All the employees vied with each other in show- ing kindness and delicacy to the young mother, who was the wife of an honest mechanic residing near Philadelphia. She had been visiting, and was on her return home when the little railroader so unexpectedly put in an appezrance. The conductor made up a purse for her, saw her comfortably situated in the depot hotel, and tele- graphed the husband. The gratitude of the lady knew no bounds, and by way of expressing her appreciation of the kind- ness and delicacy shown her, gave the. little stranger the conductor’s name, with that of Miller affixed in honor of poor Jack. I say poor Jack, because the dear fellow, like his quondam friend Bob, died “a nateral death” while on duty, not a great while after the incident just narrated: and even when the death damp stood thick on his brqw, and life’s current was fast eb- bing, he thought of the safety of others, and his last words were the means of saving many lives. It came about thus: The long and faithful services, and the many ex- cellent qualities and capabilities displayed by Jack had at last been recognized by the company, and he ee promoted to the position of freight con- uctor. His limited education had long retarded his pro- motion, but he had been striving and studying un- til he at last suecessfully passed the examination, and was known as one of the most careful angi re- liable conductors on the road. He was given “ua time order” one day, to makea certain station ahead of the fast line. , About two miles from the station was a coal sid- ing, from which he had orders to take two loaded ears. Being short of time, Jack “cut off” the en- ine himself, and opened the switch for her to ack in. As he crossed the track to the rear of the engine, he caught his foot between the guard rail and the main track rail, and before he could extri- cate himself, or make his situation known to the engineer, the tender passed over him, severing one leg and terribly mangling his body. : hen taken out from under the engine he was thought tobe already dead, and his sorrowing companions were tearfully regarding him, when he SuGaary opened his eyes and endeavored to speak, ) Wiping the blood from the face of the dying man, and placing his ear to his lips, the engineer heard him articulate: ““Send—flag—No. 10!” : His eyes closed, one convulsive gasp, and the dear, faithful fellow had indeed received his last “time order,” signed by Dispatcher Death, and was already lying on that side track, “awaiting the orders of the General Superintendent of us all, for service—let us hope—on the road to everlasting happiness,” as he so quaintly expressed it. is dying words were instantly acted upon. In the midst of their grief they had forgotten the lightning train, which was eyen now speeding to swift destruction. Before they could couple up and get under speed it would be on them. A breakman seized a flag and sped back. There was a ray curye anda deep cut_not a hundred yards to the rear of the train. If he could get around that curve he might stop them in time. Even nowthe roar sounded in hisears. He grew faint from fright and superhuman exertion, but 8 ered on, Thrice he fell, gashing his hands ° e jagged rocks; yet each time he struggled up and blindly fought his way, and thank Heaven! turned the curve just as the train flashed into sight but a few rods away. : The flag was seen by the engineer, who knew by the actions of the flagman that the danger was im- minent, and never did air-breaks do greater ser- vice than then; never did engineer reverse his en- gine quicker, or work his sand-lever more ener- getically, asthe ponderous driver spumed a stream of fire from the rails, striving with mighty power to avert the catastrophe. ; j Not two car lengths separated the trains when it came to a stand-still, pening aad quivering, and strained in every part by tremendous exer- tions. Had it struck, the whole train must have inevi- tably plunged down a steep embankment, sixty feet, to the rocky bed of a brawling stream below. One can imagine the dreadful scene that must have followed; the dead and dying, with crushed and mangled bodies, buried beneath the iron and timbers at the foot of thatdark ravine. | All of which was prevented by the dying words of “one of those rough railroad men.” ___ The wife and children of noble Jack Miller have this consolation ; that even in death he did his duty. Did his family not receive some substantial token oie ae company” because of his noble self-de- votion No, indeed! He had put the seal to ten years faithful service with his life’s blood. But what of that? The company was not responsible for his death. What though he did saye thousands of dol- lars tO them, and many precious lives to loving friends and relatives. He was buried with all honors by the employees, whose loving hearts also made up a purse for the widow and fatherless; and the marble shaft, which marks the lastiresting-place of our dear comrade, was paid for by those same employees. j Not a dollar from the company’s plethoric purse was offered. ‘ Had he beena soldier, wounded in the endeavor to add to the long and bloody list of battle, and with dying breath uttered words which warned his comrades of some movement of the enemy, and thus preserved many from death and all from de- feat, he would have been a hero—his name lauded ie — skies,and rendered immortal in verse and istory. But being only “a rough railroad man,” who preserved the lives, not of soldiers in battle, but of peaceful men, delicate women, and tender children, he is hardly accorded a paragraph in a country paper. ————_>-0+____ Tus meeting between Sam Cary and Peter Cooper jat the Fifth Avenue Hotel, was quite cordial.

In the drawing-rooms of to-day, as in the past, woman isthe petted ornament. In the real work- day world she is oppressed, and will continue to be until she is educated (not in fashionable boarding- schools), but in thought and principle, and by those who respect her right to be educated, It is almost disheartening to consider the kind of education irls are receiving in the popular, or rather fash- ionable boarding-schools of the land. An examin- ation of their essays at these commencement times will satisfy the least exacting that it is high time to nareform. And the reform should be begun by endowing women’s colleges, and putting at the h ofthem the best trained women teachers, If the wealthy women who give their money to Har- vard or Yale, or any already rich college for the other sex, would consider the crying need of uni- versities for women, and help their own sex first, the timewould soon come when these namby-pamby schools for young ladies would cease to exist. There is not a 8tate-endowed school for women in Amer- ica. Byen Massachusetts, boastful as it is of its schools, has never given a cent toward the endow- ment of any school for women. Tell us, then, how can there be any general progress where there are no opportunities given for special training? Asa sex women are poor, but the most thorough edu- eational advantages should be placed in the way of all women, and be pl there by the State which owes her so much. If every State in the Union should endow women’s colleges they would but just be beginning to repay some of the debt due the sex. We want more great women in the land, more minds, mere characters, and until educational advantages are increased we can see no prospect ofadvancément in the cause the world has or should have most at heart—the emancipation of women from error and ignorance, folly and superstition.

TAKING THE PLEDGE. BY MARGARET BLOUNT. Thanksgiving Night in New York! A chilly, windy, sleety night, that droye homeward with ever-hastening steps all who had homes to seek. Alas, for the forlorn wanderers who had none! Only the good God above them could know, and pity, and alleviate the misery that was theirs. | One home there wasin the great city that night that was scarcely more a shelter than the cold and stormy streets. In the cheerless and dilapidated attic of a squalid and crowded tenement-hous¢ crouched a mother and three children on the floor before a grate that held no fire. Their clothes were thin and searcely sufficient to cover tham. A lamp with a broken chimney smoked and flared upon the mantel-piece, and cast a feeble light around the room. There was but one chair, and a tabie with three cone and abroken leaf was propped against the wall. A heap of rags in the opposite eorner served asabed. Its solitary covering was a blanket—thin, and worn into many holes. _ No fire, no food, no comforts, and in the mother’s heart no happiness or hope. Ten years ago that very night she had _ stood at the altar with a handsome, healthful, industrious young man, who had loved her fondly, and made er the happiest of wives—for a time. Now another Thanksgiving Eve was_here, and with her shivering, nae children she awaited with dread the returnof the husband and father, whose passion for strong drink had brought them all so low. Would he return too much intoxicated to abuse them? or must they on the anniversary of her wedding-night fly from his drunken fury as they had often of late been forced to fly? The heart of the poor woman was almost broken as she asked herself that question, and listened anxiously for the expected step upon the stairs. ; 2 “l’m sohungry, mother,” wailed the little girl, who sat at her feet, with her arms wrapped around her brother in a vain attempt to keep warm. ‘Do you think father will bring us something to eat ?” “TI hope so, darling,” said the mother, wiping the tears from her eyes. ; “Why don’tyou havea Thanksgiving like other people ?” asked the boy. The artlessguestion lled tothe quick.

She bent her head lower and lower above the infant thatslept upon her breast, and tried to answer her little s0n—tried to check the sobs that shook her feeble frame. But the tears would have their way. : “Don’t ery, mother dear,” said little Alice, wind- ing her arms around her neck. d “No—don’t cry, mother—don’t ag A added Diek, kissing her. ‘‘We don’t want any Thanksgivings, do we, Alice ?” “Dear good children,” sobbed the mother, “‘Oh ifI could only: give you some of the happiness. used to have! It is hard for you; but Heaven is od, my poor little ones. Perhaps you will see etter days yet before I die.” oe ““There’s father!” said Dick, shrinking nearer to is mother. She looked up. A tall, thin, pale man, shabbily dressed, stood near the door, He had entered, unheard, and some- thing of the old-time love was in his deep blue eyes as they met her own. He was perfectly sober and apparently deeply depressed. “T heard our boy’s question, Alice,” he said. “Why don’t we ever have a Thanksgiving? It is because I am a wretch! It is because I take the money that ought to buy food and clothes for you and my children, and spend it for the drink that is destroying me. You all have good reason to hate me; and I wonder often in nay heart that you don’t. But Alice, tell me. Do youthink there could be one grain of hope for me, even yet, if I should takethe pledge ” “Take the pledge!” said the pale woman, rising § and going up to him. “Oh, Biehard, God has surely put it into your heart! ill you? Will you? For my sake? For the sake of these poor little children who are cold and hungry on this Thanks- giving Evee” j She hung upon his arm and looked into his face as fondly as she had looked at him upon their wedding-day. 2 E The tears came into his eyes and rolled down his cheeks one after another. “Alice—poor Alice,” he said, brokenly. ‘I won- der you haven’t deserted me, long ago.” “Desert you, dear? Oh, never! When I mar- ried you, Richard, I took you for better or worse. Ym not going to fail you, now, because you are down, and low in spirits, and. sick at heart. No Richard, let happen what may, [ will not leave you. I'll live with you, beg with you, if we must beg, and die wid you a last. But I never will desert you— never!” “Not even if Ido not give up drinking, Alice?” he asked, searchingly. + Her sweet face grew pale and sad once more, but her eye met his steadily. “Not even then, Richard.” He kissed her fondly. “You area good, true wife, Alice,and for your sake I will try to give up this habit that is destroy- ing us all.

His lecture willend in a few minutes, and then he is to give the pledge to all who will take it. I came to ask you to leave the children a few minutes and go eee vith me. I have not the courage to go alone. Alice gave one womanly giance down at her shab- by, faded dress, and worn-out shoes. Then she knocked at a neighbor’s door and begged the loan of a decent shaw! and bonnet. When the neighbor heard the nature of their errand she loaned the garments “with a heart anda half” as she expressed it, and offered to take care of the children during their absence. “Heaven bless you, Mr. Endicott, and give you the strength to keep your pledge,” she said, as they went down the stairs together. Richard could not answer her. If he had attempt- ed to speak at that moment, he must certainly have burst into tears. The meeting in the Grocery Hall was a crowded one. A gentleman of great learning, wealth, and eloquence, who, for a year past, had devoted him- self to the cause of temperance, had addressed the people, and, at the end of his lecture, was now ad- ministering oe pierit: Richard waited till the crowd around the lecturer began tothin. ; : : : Then he went up to him, drawing Alice along with him. “Sir.” he said, “I would like to take that pledge. But I’m afraid to trust myself. Whatif I should not keep it?” : , The gentleman looked at him kindly. “Is that your wife ?” said he. “Yes, sir,” replied Richard. “Have you any children?” “Three, sir.” *‘And do you love them?” : “Love my children? Of course I do, sir,” said the astonished man. ““And your wife, also?” “Indeed I do.” é “Then, my friend, for their sakes sign this pledge, and be sure that. will give you the grace and strength to keep it,” said the lecturer, taking him by the hand. That friendly, encouraging touch, those few kind words, braced the sinking nerves, and made a man onee more of the trembling, shamefaced drunk- ard. He took the pen and signed. . Alice looked on through her joyful tears, hardly able to believe hereyes. The lecturer called her aside. “There is my card,” he said. “Let me know how he gets on. You should have plenty of strong, hot coffee always ready for him whenever the craving for drink comes over him. Accept this as froma friend. Nay, you must,my dear madame, Good- night, and Heaven bless you both.” He shook hands with them both and left the hall. Alice looked at the gift he had leftin her palm. It was a bill for ten dollars. - On that slender foundation the ruined man raised once more ahappy and a temperate home.

In selecting presents of that kind the intrinsic value is not of so much im- portance as the sentiment that prompts them—something that may be kept as a remembrance of the friend or acquaintance from whom they are received. There are numerous articles quite appropriate—an autograph album, a card-case, a book of poems from some of the favorite authors, etc. E. E. H.—Your question is rather indefinite. It the young lady is caHing on friends, and it has become later than she had ex- ted to be away from home, she may ask a gentleman, an in- mate of her friend’s family, to escort her home, Whether he is @ relative or not, there would be no impropriety. In any case it would be better than being unprotected at night. J. B. S. asks: ‘‘What a gentleman should say when he is intro- duced to a younglady ?” When introduced he may tee without saying anything, or he may express the pleasure the in troduction affords him, and a desire to become better acquainted with her, but he should never offer his hand unless she make -the first motion toward it. 2d. If a lady asks a gentleman for his likeness, and he has no objection to giving it, providing she will in exchange give him hers, he may express his willingness by asking if he isto have one of hers. 3d. Whether at parties, pic- nics, or in the home circle, when playing games of forfeits, a gen- tleman will never presume to kiss alady to whom he has not been formally introduced. If the task is imposed on him he should ask some one of the oo to present him to the lady, and then he should apologize to her, and in some light, joking man- ner remark that the laws must be obeyed. _ Weddings.—ist. The custom of making presents at weddi is quite genera] among the higher circles, and also the middle classes of society. The presents are selected according to the means of the recipient and not that of the donor. 2d. It would be difficult to suggest an approprite present for a friend as a bridal gift without first knowing what circle she moved in. We do not approve of this custom; we prize far more highly a simple inexpensive present from a true friendly motive than the most costly article from mere form or custom. Among bridal pres- ents there is always an abundant supply of silver ware, bron: goid, diamonds, and lace handkerchieftk, toilet sets of lace, a’ five hundred different articles, all of more or less value and use- fulness. 3d. Congratulations are offered in a few simple well- chosen words, taking care not to wish the bridegroom many re- turns of the joyful occasion. 4th. If unable to accept the invi- ion, a regret should be sent immediately. The usual formula for a regret is something in this style: “Mr. and Mrs —— extremely that they cannot accept Mr. and Mrs. —— kind invita- tion to be present at the marriage ceremony of their daughter.” All letters of acceptance and regrets should be written in the names of both the lady and pe but the envelope should be addressed to the lady only. 5th. When circumstances have been such that a regret has been necessary, the earliest oppor- tunity should be taken to call upon the wedded pair and offer congratulations. 6th. If a present is to be sent, let that be for- warded either with the regret or on the day before the wedding, that it may have its place with other presents. Acard with the name of the donor is all that is necessary. f _ B W.—Ist.

She went to the studio, and there among familiar scenes, she recovered something of the old, bright spirit that had made her father Call her dauntless Diane. The morning on which she first sat for the picture was never-for- Sas eg by her. Lord Ryder came to assist and sug- est; Mrs. Millar was there, pa | she inwardly thought that no queen was ever so beautiful as this girl with the sweet, sad eyes. They dressed her after the fashion of Queen Anne’s time, in a blue velvet dress open to display a white satin petticoat; the wealth of golden hair was unfastened, and, as her head was raised, fell like a golden shower around her. Frank Millar was in a terment of delight; her exquisite grace, her bay ham beauty, the amount of dramatic talent she threw into theinspiration delighted him. There are models and models, some content with»| the mere exhibition of heauby. cone. te sit with a stereotyped smile, without one particle of interest, without ever understanding the subject they repre- sent; not so Diane, her face ‘kindled into wonder- ful loveliness. She was not Diane; as she knelt there she was Anne Boleyn dreaming of-her king lover, going over, in fancy, his passionate love, when he would have scaled the heights of Heayen to win her; remembering the sunny rides through the green forest of Windsor, thinking to herself over and over z1in. he did not mean it; he was only doing it to frighten her; he did not intend that she should die; he would never let the face he had kissed a thousand times, lie on the block; he would never bear that the ax should touch the white neck he had loved and caressed; that the headsman’s rough hand should touch the golden hair he had omg d with; that the mangled form of the woman e had loved, that the white arms, the graceful figure, should lie a slaughtered heap on the block.

Then she laid her hand on the girl’s shoulder. “Let metell you something,”. she said; “‘a secret between us, never’ to be betrayed. My son is falling in love with you.

She had often said to herself that there was no love, no marriage for her; but then she was well content. The short experienceshe . passed through of. “marriage had. piven her an utter detestation of it. Had she been free then, she would not have mar- ried the finest gentleman or the greatest genius in ail the world. It seemed like a system of cruelty to her; it had no charm or attraction. for-her ; she preferred freedom and poverty; but she had not thou ht of the possibility that any one would fall in love with her. She knew ‘that people called her beautiful—how beautiful she was she had not the faintest idea; she did not care; life had no prizes for her, nothing but blanks.

Ishall always love you, ce re keep my interest in you, always be your friend. It will be agreat trouble to me to lose you; but itis for my son’s sake—for Frank’s sake—he must not be unhappy through an unhappy love.” So the matter was arranged between them. If Diane had been offered her choice, she would ra- ther, a thousand times, have remained in the little house, going on with her drawing, and attending the studio, talking art and poetry with Frank Mil- lar; but it was not to be; this pleasant episode in her life was ended. What was the next to be ? Mrs. Millar wrote to her one morning to say she particularly wished eerie that day, as she had heard of Something very likely to suither. Diane went. “I feel sure,” said her friend, ‘‘that you will be pleased. Lady Creighton is in want of a compan- ion; Ltold her that I thought you would suit, and she seemed delighted. She would like to see you at Creighton House to-day.” “What is shelike?” asked Diane. “Iam afraid that no one will seem very nice to me after leaying ou. “You willlike Lady Creighton.

Then when every arrangement was made, she went home. But there was a terrible consternation in the artist’s studio when it beeame known that she was going. Frank looked very hard at his mother, evi- dently suspecting mischief, but not feeling quite sure what to suspect. He was compelled, however, to make a virtue of necessity and say good-by. Then the week. following, Lady Creighton and Diane started for Italy. : 4 oe ’ * OHAPTER XXXL The years passed on in one unbroken dream of peace. Whateyer had been the troubles of tags Creighton’s life, she never .mentioned them, an her gentle nature soon regained its tranquil calm.’ They found a pretty house on the banks of the Ar- no, one that had been builtgora Russian duke who had more money than he knew what to do with, and more capric athan could have been gratified ina life-time. He builtit large as a palace, with spacious rooms, and great overhanging gardens, —they sloped down to the banks of the Arno. The house had been built with every attention to mod- ern convenience and luxury, the long windows opened on the lawn and broad balconies. The house had been especially, built to suit the taste of a Russian arc¢hduchess who loved flowers; she must have a balcony to every room, and each bal- cony se be the size of asmall room; they must be filled with choice odorous flowers—then the gay archduchess was content. The rooms were each furnished with bright steel grates, where English fires could burn in winter; and san-blinds, througk -which the hot sun of summer could not penetrate. hey could hear the pleasant ripple of. the Arno, and the sweet song of the birds}; they could see the gleaming silver and golden fire of the orange trees, the wave of the tall white lilies, the red hue of the rose—ali sweet sights and sounds came to them as they sat in the lofty, fragrant rooms of their beau- tiful abode. Nor, asso often happens, did they— companions in what seemed like solitude—tire of each other. y Creighton was the kindest and most oust of human beings; she was eful that Diane should have time for her own pursuits, time to read, time to study. They always walked out together ; they went on the river together; they | Lady Carter. “Marry!” interrupted Diane. “I pray you, Lady drove together ; if, at rare intervals, Lady Creighton entertained visitors, Diane was always present; if Lady Creighton was tempted by the beauty of opera, or a picture, to leave home, Diane always accom- panied her. a rule, they dined and spent the evening together. Diane answered her ladyship’s business letters, she attended to her books and pa- pers; there her dutiesended. The life was so new, so novel, so beautiful to the girl whose heart had | been broken, that she could not realize it. It was like a dream to her—surrounded by all that was bright, beautiful, and charming, her senses charm- ed with the sweetest sights and sounds, her heart made light by constant kindness, her intellect and mind cultivated by constant association with gifted and well-bred a ‘ ~ it was wonderful how Diane changed ; the crush- ed, blighted, spoiled life, seemed to fall from her; she grew younger, fairer, brighter, the tragedy died out of her eyes, the lines round her sweet mouth relaxed, the dimples began to come into play again; there were times even when she forgot that terrible past, when it seemed to her life had always been the same dream among the roses. As_ time wore on, weaks and months would pass without those little memories; then some night she would wake up from a dream—her lips warm with her baby’s kisses, the touch of his tiny fingers warm on her neck, the clasp of his little arms still round her, wake and remember that he was dead—that he had been killed by those who hated her; then the old sorrow woke and cried; then the bitter, burn- ing pain would return to her, making her life a torture; or she would wake with Hester’s shrill, scolding voice in her ears, uttering some taunt, some scathing insult; or she would wake crying for Heaven’s sake would they let her in to the little one who was moaning for her; then her agony would seem greater than she could bear, and she would cry out, let her die, let her die, rather than sufferso. Butas the years passed on, these dreams grew fainter, and Diane began to look upon the resent as the only reality, the past as a nightmare rom which she had escaped. ; ; There was one view of the question which never occurred to her—one idea that never in its dark truth came before her—she never thought that in running away from her home and her husband:she had done wrong; they had tortured her, they had driven her mad, they had taken her sweet, lovin heart into their cold, cruel hands, and:had crushe it; they had slain in their cruel ignorance the only creature she had ever loved—her little child; and she had escaped from them. She never thought of it in any other light; she would have opened»her beautiful eyes in wonder if she had been told that her plain, honest, honorable duty was to have re- mained and have done her best; she would have argued that. ers all try to escape, that re- maiming at Larchdale would have been slow sui- cide, but she would never have believed that in quitting it she had done wrong. She had not been )well taught, this beautiful, innocent Diane; Her chief idea of religion was a profound reverence for the great God who had created the beauty she loved, ofearth and sky; her father had impressed that on her and she had only been too willing to receive the impression ; but that religion entered her every- day life, th seieon should have taught her to endure the gloomy temper of her husband, the in- sulting impertinence of his sister—that it should have taught her to bear the trials of her lot in lowly submission—she never dreamed, and there was no one. to tell her. The only time that the matter struck her at all in that light was when Lady Carter, an elderly cousin of Lady Creighton, came to visit them; then the conversation turned, one day, when Diane was alone with their visitor, on Lady Creighton. “f am so glad to see her looking better,” said “T have always thought her story one of the saddest in the world. You have been with her for some years, yet I am sure she has never entioned it to you.” “No,” replied Diane. “She told me at first that she had had great trouble, that she had been very umhADp ; but she never told me why.” ‘Nor we who loved her, hers dearest and best friends, ever knew of her trouble, we heard from‘her ser- vants, who at times had to interfere to save her life, and thase who were staying in the house; she never told. She is one of the bravest as well as the gen- tlest cf women; yet I always think ‘hers one of the saddest stories I ever heard.” ane raised her eyes to Lady,Carter’s face; they pasked a question that her lips did not dare to utter. “You would like to hear it?” said Lady Carter. ‘You have such eloquent eyes, Miss Thorpe.” “Yes,” replied Diane; “if it is not a secret, I should like to hear it. I have often wondered what could make such agentle lady unhappy.” | “She was one of the sweeteStiand most winsome girls,” said dy Carter; “not beautiful—you can see she was never a beauty—but she was graceful, intelligent, and of ae amiable and sunny dis- position, the most tender and loving heart. When quite a girl, not more than_seventeen, she fell in love with her half-cousin, Richard Petrell, and he was passionately fend of her. Children both of them, their. pretty, foolish love affair lasted some few months, then the Countess of Dene, Lady Creighton’s motber, found it out. It ended as such things generally do: Lady Creighton was compelled to choose betweem her mother and her lover; to re- tain both was an utter impossibility.she had to choose between them; and her obedient, docile na- ture led her to choose her mother. Richard Petrell was dismissed, and he, poor boy, lost no time in going to the bad as fast as it was possible to go. He lived for afew months in a state of wild dissipa- tion, cursing those who had parted him from his love; then he made some low marriage, and for a time disappeared.” : “That was all through love,” said Diane, slowly. “Yes, all through love, child. Then the, countess completed her work by compelling her daughter to marry Lord Creighton, than whom, between our- selves, a greater, rogue and a greater rowe never ex- isted. He was rich and had an old title, nothing else recommended him. She married him, andI do nof honestly think that any white slave in the world led sucha life. He used to eurse her, to swear at her, to shout at her, he never spoke a civil word to her; the grooms in his stables were better treated, yet she_ never ae Her patience irritated him. Hestruckher, Oh! many and many times he beat her within an inch of her life; if the rons had not interfered, he would have killed er.” e “Did he not like her?” asked Diane, wonderingly. . “T suppose so; he never said that he did not like her. But there are many men who pass as gentle- men who are too cowardly to tyrannize over their Servants, yet take a savagedelight in torturing meek and uncomplaining wives. It was so. with him. Hehad a terrible temper, black, bitter, sul- len, passionate, gloomy; atthe same time, he wasa great coward. The temper he dare not show to others was shown to his wife and vented upon her.” “But,” interrupted Diane, “why did she remain?” “Remain?” said Lady er. “Ido not under- stand you.’ “Why did she not leave his house, leave’ him ?” Lady Carter looked slightly scandalized. “My dear Miss Thorpe,” she said, “I am quite sure you do not mean it; but you are speaking lightly. When peopleare married, there is no such thingas running awayor leaving each other.” Diane looked up with cree eyes. “No such thing?” she repes . Why, people do it; Lady Carter.” : “Not the right kind of people, child. You cannot run away from a life-long obligation, you cannot run away fro6m a solemn contract, from solemn vows; you may rue it, you cannot undo it; the only nine is—to bear it patiently until you die.” “That seems yery hard,” said Diane, slowly, “It is hard, but itis the only right course to pur® sue ; such a course wins for any woman the respect of men and the blessing of God; the opposite loses ”» ¢ o£ ane. ? “No, fortunately,for her, she had no children,” replied Lady Carter. 3 “Suppose that she had—suppose that she had | one little child,*that she loved better than ‘all the world besides, and that when it was dying her hus- band had spurned her, he had forbidden her to come near—would she have liked him then? would she have remained with him?” “T eannot tell,” réplied Lady Carter; ‘you are supposing events that neyer happened. I should say, that considering the natural dignity of her » character, she would not, under any cireumstances, have left him, but would always have endured to the end.” é’ : “Even if he had helped to kill her only child ?” said Diane?’ a, * : “My dear, what a strange notion! What makes you say that ?” - ‘Beeause iT, once heard of such a case, and the with bread stone terraces.and picturesque grounds } wife-ran away,’ “Then she did wrong,” said Lady Carter, grave- ly. “Wrong? Ido not think so. How could she tol- erate eyen the sound of his name after that ?” “Well, I cannot judge. Ido not know the case, but I do this—God has’ made immutable laws—one of them is, marriage shall know no parting save death. I know, also, eet on earth is only a pil- grimage; if we bear patiently any pain that the faithful carrying out of th laws inflict, we are getting ready for Heaven.” : “But, surely,” said Diane, “God would not wish any woman to be utterly wretched. If for instance, you were afraid of your lifé, it would not be needful for one to remain with a husband then.” ‘Perhaps. not; I cannot pretend_to judge. You are very earnest about the matter, Miss Thorpe. I of marriage, the submission and obedience of wives, the patience of women. Lady Creighton is my model.’ eae . And I have done all jhat Lady Creighton did not do,” thought Diane. “I have left my home, my husband, given yb name, his ring, cut myself seth ae as though I were dead. Am [I right, or is she ?” rd oes she ever tell—she never did. All that |w have old-fashioned ideas myself about the sanctity | Then she consoled herself by thinking that, after all, Lady Carter did not understand her case—did not clearly understand. ; That was the only time that anything like a doubt came to her mind asto whether she had acted right- ly or not.

Back numbers can be obtained Ne ma ‘om any News Agent.] CHAPTER XVII. It did nottake Ned Pemberton long to discover that in his new pilot, Josi Hopkins, he had got a real treasure. He knew the coast thoroughly—every cape and bay, every reef, rock, and island they passed, he named. No matter where they were he would telh the soundings before the lead was thrown to verify his words. He was one of those singular men who never forgot a thing once seen or heard, and he hated the Englishmen almost as badly as Doctor La Berte did. __ In the night he took the schooner out to sea, pass- ing close to windward of Fisher’s Island, and with- out waiting for Pemberton or Clewline to look at the chart, gave them the course they must steer to clear the Nantucket Shoals and yet hold well in shoreso asto sight Cape Codand run over the track of British transports bound into Boston Harbor. i They had to take in the square-sail and main- topmast staysail when they hauled out to sea, for as soon as they cleared the lee of Montauk Point. there rolled in a very heavy swell, and they had to trim in sheets to hold their course. The schooner proved to be a fine sea-boat, though. a little wet forward, for the sharp bows wouid. plunge into the seas as she drove through them; ut she was stiff and weatherly, and, as Clewline observed, with plenty of sea-room he would rather lay out a gale in her than in any square-rigged craft afloat. ‘The vessels seen astern were lost sight of entirely when the Rattlesnake got out of the Sound and not until the second day, with the wind moderated down very much, was a sail seen by the officers of ithe Rattlesnake. It was then almost night, and the land on the lee bow was pronounced Cape Cod by Hopkins, when the lookout from aloft announced a large fleet of sail close together hull down ahead. “Them are craft bound in, to Boston,” said Hop= kins. “They’ve gota little to the south’rd maybe, but if it don’t blow where they are eny harder than it does here, we'll be off Boston just as soon as they are, proyidin’ you use them sweeps o’ yourn, eap’n.” , “We will do it, if the wind dies away,” said Pem- berton. ‘‘Meantime, while we have wind we'll take all the advantage of it wecan. How much to lee- ward of those vessels can we steer and be safe? I want to cut them offif we can, an@ cut out a prize or two in the night. if such a thing is possible.” “Til tell you just how much sheet we can start in about a minute,” said Hopkins. “When I git aloft Pil sing out, and you can bear away till I tell you to hold on.” ; : The next second he was shinning aloft, hand- over-hand, as agile asa monkey, and soon stood on the fore cross-trees. “Bear away six points by compass!” he cried. The helm was put up, and the vessel’s bows veer- ed off to leeward the six points, while slackened sheets gave thesails the advantage of the free vind. __she’ll bear two points more!” cried Hopkins. t rare cnoer: clear the cape at that in four fathoms water.” “And where do those*ships bear now? We can’t see them from deck!” cried Clewline. “Almost abeam—a very trifle on the weather bow,” replied Hopkins. “We'll cut ’am off afore midnight, if the wind holds just as it is now.” Good! We’ll have a prize or two in Salem Har- bor or somewhere else before another sun sets !’* eried Pemberton, gayly. “We can carry the stay- sail now.” “Yes, sir, and the square-sail, too, well boomed. forward!” said Clewline. When Hopkins came down from aloft, the two extra sails were set,and the schooner was going all of two knots faster through thé water. The men went to supper cheerfully, for a hope of prize money was warm in their hearts, and atthe canted supper-table there was plenty of merri-. ment. After supper all the small arms were looked to, the great gun loaded with grape and _canister—a, stand of each, and the swivels got ready for use at close quarters. Pikes, pistols, and cutiasses were distributed, and then one watch was told to turn in, for not before midnight, if so soon, could they hope to come up with the strange fieet. very light, but that in the well-sheltered bin- acle, over the compass, was put out, and the strict-. est silence ordered. From time to time, having the schooner luffed up. to deaden her headway for the purpose, Hopkins. }took soundings himself that he might not run too. elose on a dangerous shore. And by the soundings. thus taken he regulated his course. The wind rather lessened after sunset, but toward midnight it increased a little, and there was about a six-knot breeze when Pemberton, who was for+ ward himself, first discovered lights ahead. This occurred soon after midnight, and not ten minutes later—one bell was heard striking on board of some man-of-war, where every half hour is thus struck and noted on the ship’s bell. y It was echoed by three other bells, and Clewline muttered: . “There are only four men-of-war to convoy the whole fleet. There must be atleast twelve or fifteen ee a aa i “Heaven send that we get alongside of a tran- sport loaded with powder and ball, instead of a man-of-war!” said Pemberton. ‘We used up more than half our powder and shot on that corvette.” Cap’n, we’d better shorten sail. Them craft are layin’ too, or we wouldn’t creep up to’em like this,” said Hopkins in a low tone. “He is right. Get in our light sails and our fore- sail as quietly as you can, and then with the jib to windward we'll reconnoiter,” said Pemberton, ad- dressing Clewline. E All hands were now called on deck without noise, and by the timethe sail was taken in, Pemberton, found that the schooner was nearly surrounded by large, lumbering, square-rigged craft, which, though not hove to, were standing in to the nor west, under very short sail—just making stee way, evidently waiting for daylight before tk for Boston Harbor. ae “Luff! Luffout 0’ this, cap’n, or yo iron for supper,” said Hopkinsin a low tone, pointing toa huge-hulled vessel close to leeward of them. Isee light through her port-holes. She’s a two- decker. The red light at her mast-head means man-~ o’-war plain, too!” The schooner was luffed in time, and they did not seem to be keeping a very sharp watch on the frigate, for she was so near that Pemberton could hear men singing old ballads on her foreeastle. Luffing up so that the wind was out of his sails, Pemberton let the frigate forge ahead till she was almost out of sight, and also let another vessel, with a red light, mast-headed, go by, for she, too, evi- dently, was a man-of-war. Then, all at once, a huge oth. )Ship, with no light except a white lantern on each “Had Lady Creighton any children !” asked Di- side of her forerigging, came slowly surging on. “Ready, with the boarders,” said Pombarton in & low tone. “Not agun or pistol must be fired. If we can take this ship and get her out of the convoy to-night, it will be glory and profit too. If we take her, Clewline, you will act as prize-master with half our crew,and follow a green light which I will show astern, for we will steer for Salem harbor if we take her.” é All these directions and orders, given in alow tone, were understood by the men and officers who Erauped around Pemberton, and the boarders se- lected, each with his-naked cutlass in his hand, drew up by the side of Clewline. ‘Not aloud word, nothing to alarm the rest of the fleet, if: it can be helped,” said Pemberton. Hopkins, do you take the helm, and let us creep under her lee.” ; Eacuse me, cap’n, but if we luff up to windward, and then sag down kind o’ natural on her, she'll not be half so aft to notice us,” said the pilot. “Be-« sides, the minute | you get her, you want to square off to the north’ard to get out from among the i : “You are right, Mr. Hopkins. We'll slide up to windward quietly.” It took almost half an hour of quiet management to get the schooner where she should be, to drop unnoticed, asif by natural leeway, down on the stranger. , _ The latter‘looked like one of those huge, lumber- ing East Indiamen, made to carry an immense car- go,and Pemberton saw when it was too late to change his pick in the convoy that she was pierced side. And as he came close up to windward, he heard quite a chorus of voices joining in some jolly song, showing that there must be quite a watch on deek, But his mind was made up to capture the craft at all hazards, and he signed to Hopkins to lay her oooh at once. kK fr ‘Schooner @hoy eep off or you’ll run int eer shouted a yoice from the ship. us “There’s where ’m coming, my man,” said Pem- Oaron: in os oe oe it en as the schooner’s hull grated against the side of the ship, he sprang for her main channels, al \ tw for and carried not less than six large guns ona _ a as ov Be Sar a ; a Bae ee we = coegitie closely ia ali CANS > = é ely foll aS aC ey a a one by P aaomen , re | ya over th eat om OF ad ee } ,eineg he” bow e, Whi ipey, tl ss } 2 ne. to t?

The earl started at this proposition, and for the first time began to consider w hether it might not be best to grant his wife’s petition. Perhaps he was influenced by the memory of the yows they had plighted years before in a abet old echureh at Milan. Perhaps a memory of the love they had once ee each other when both were young, softened his worldly heart. Or perhaps her handsome face, in conjunetion with her’ threats, caused him to conclude jthat the: best course he could take would be to recognize heras his wife.

CRITTENTON, Z responder ithe earl, ina tone of quiet indifference. “If you can bring about her marriage with Lord Rosenbury ,Lshall love you as much as you desire. Thus appealed to in her tenderest point—her de- sire to be loved by her husband—the Italian readily promised to bring about»the desired object. Her countenance expressed both scheming and ecaleu- lation. and the earl felt assured that she: would leayé nomeans untried to effect the estrangement of the lovers,.and the marriage of Lord Rosenbury and the Lady Geraldine. A silence fell between the couple, which was not broken untiltheir arrival o Monttord House. Meanwhile, the page, yi ho shared the box, was engaged relating to his fellow-servant the particu- lars of the strange bridal. When the carriage stopped, the earl helped out his bride with great care, and she leaned upon his arm as they ascended the ste ps and entered the mansion. Several of the servants were grouped in, the wide hall, attracted thither by the unusual occurrence of the mor ning g,.and to these «there ac neat his bride as their future mistress, an “Does the Lady Gera “ding Root of” our mar- riage?” asked Justina,. as they, ended to the drawing-room. “ “Not yet,” respondod the Px. i Shy con aa tell her.

The Li udy Geraldine expressed her congratula- tions to the new-married couple,.adding: “TI wish, unele, that you had made moa your happiness. Itwould have to have attended your marriage.” “*T know it, Geraldine,” replied the earl, ‘ are very kind, but Justina ¢ quiet bridal.’ “But you havemo wedding-breakfast,” remarked Geraldine. “Shall you ma ke.a bridal tour? “No, dear, We shall go on asusual,” said his lordship. speaking for himself and wife, the ques- tion of a tour net having been even mooted be- tween them. Our W -edding will. make no differences in, fas habits.” The Lady Geraldine repressed all expression of the surprise felt :at this declaration,.as well as at the fact of the marriage itself, and turned to pay some attention toher new aunt, and observe her more closely. As she turned she-encountered the ‘steady, seru- tinizing gaze of Justin: Bis * Graldine was much more beautiful than the Italian had even been led to expect from popular report, and the contrast between the two women was very apparent. While Justina’s thair-was of a dead-black hue, Geraldine’s seemed to'be a nest of purple'Shadows flecked‘ here and there with specks of the light that streamed through the windows. While Justina’s complexion was fair, Geraldine’s was a clear olive. While Justina seemed and was awoman of the world, fhere was a halo of girlish purity about the Lady Geraldine, an expression of child-like inno- } cence upon her countenance, and a frankness and impulsiveness in her manner that were inexpr ‘essi- bly charnsing. Tho countess imme diately conceived a jes Laci: sy of Geraldine’s ‘superior beauty. and a feeling of an- tagonism for the maiden herself. But if she hoped to sueceedin her plans against the happiness of Geraldine, it was necessary. to win her coniidence and affection; so the Italian summoned her most honeyedtones and blandest looks, as she said: “And so you are my niece, Geraidine? I hope we shall be frier.ds, for I hayé no one in this country to love save my hushand and you. Weshall spend many happy days together, shall we not, my dear?” She leaned forward, pressing a kiss tipon the maiden’s cheek. Touched by her remarks, and by the earl’s statementof her faithfullove for him through years of separation, the maiden pressed her hand warmly. and promised to be her friend. : We are of e given mo pleasure ‘and you and I preferred a ye ery ter, and their faith in cach other, and Justina de- « The earl noticed with satisfaction the relations so Shrod t hat it ghe heen Bear to oan ites: the edednan | quick! ly ‘este tblis shed between the two la “alee ‘ther wife , and be- gan to indulgé more freely in his hopes for Geral- dine’ s future. | tera while, thé eountess signified her desire to be aoe nto herown apartmenis, and the earl con- | ducted her to them, .

Justina exerted herself to win the maiden’s econfi- denée, pretending the greatest sympathy w ith her, and finally went to. the library, where earl awaited her, and said; Vell, I've made a beginning, Egbert. I find that she intends to receive her letters openly. She is so frank and guileless, thatthe thought has not even occurred to her that they may be intercepted. All that remains to be done is to order all letters to be broughtto you. That is the first step to be taken.’ The earl agreed to this, and complimented h wife on her excellent judgment. The order was S00n aiter given. As the countess had expected, the following morning br “ought a missive to the Lady “Geraldine.

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, Inquirer.—As succinctly stated by an eminent medical writer, that department of medicine which treats of remedies, their doses, modes of using, and influences upon the constitu- tion, is called materia medica. The agents employed in the treatment of diseases are taken from three kingdoms of nature— the vegetable, the animal, and the mineral. ‘The lar; gest portion of medicinal substances are taken from the vegetable world. They consist of leaves, flowers, seeds, barks, and roots. These lose much or all of their medicinal powers unless gathered at the right seasons of the year, and are properly cured. The dif- ferent parts of a plant are to be gathered when their peculiar juices are most abundant in th em, For instance, barks, wheth- er of} the roots, trunk, or branches, must be gathered in autumn, or early in the spring, when they peel off most easily, and the dead outside and all rotten parts being separated, they must be dried in the same manner as roots, The most active barks are gen- erally trom young trees.

BY NATHAN D. URNER. The boat-house stands, as it stood of old, While, swaying the piles that were once so stout, And rocking the beams in their rusty hold, ‘The tides flow in and the tides flow out. Where once in order the row-boats tossed, Unsightly drift-heaps swash and swing, ‘And the steps are ruined, and grimed, and mossed Where the feet of pleasure were wont to spring. But still, as I rest on the rotting rail, And gaze on the silent, neglected stream, ‘With scarce the flap of a lagging sail To disturb the hush of its liquid dream, Sweet memories of the laugh and song, Of the hurrying patter of youthful feet, From the haunts of memory swiftly throng, And around the boat-house gather and meet. "How we laughed at the lassies, and helped them o’er The restless gnnwales, in jest or fear, -And then, wiih frolic and fun in store, Pushed slowly around the moldering pier— Around the pier, and along the tide, To the angling-ground by the little lake, Where the perch, and salmon, and bass abide, And the trout their timid siestas take. “Or we sought an island, serene and hushed, And our picnics held in the groves apart; Pulling back slowly, tired and flushed, But bright and happy in mind and heart. And still in my mind there is one sweet face, Dearer than all, looks out from my dream, ‘Whose gentle beauty and girlish grace Made the boat-house old like a palace seem. But it fades, it melts, and the years of care That have passed since then, roll dark between. I seem to see through the dusky air Soft rows of graves in a church-yard green— The graves of those that so blithely met Round the old place here in the long-ago; And the wind that passes, with tears seems wet, And the billows sigh as they ebb and flow. — A KISS IN THE DARK. BY KATE DUVAL. “*How is this for coal prospecting, Fred ?” “Rough, old fellow, andI for one am about used ap.” E Ditto, to say nothing of our poor beasts,” laugh- ed Harry Brevier, for these young men were wind- ing their way up oneof the valleys among the Pennsylvania hills through a blinding snow-storm, in search of some habitation where they might find Shelter and food. : 3 _ “Hark! sleigh-bells as I live!” exclaimed Fred Holiister; “we must be near some settlement.” He had scarcely spoken when a double-seated sleigh, containing two young couples of pleasure- seekers, went dashing past, with snatches of songs and merry pee of laughter. — ‘ ; ‘i “How is that for sleigh-riding with rustic beau- ies ?” “The jolliest fun alive,” returned his companion, “if one was not pinched with cold and hungry asa ‘wolf.

But, Heaven be praised, I ‘behold the glimmer of a tallow dip!” Soak “You are right, my boy, and here is a habitation of no mean dimensions.” : ‘Halting before a lowand rambling farm-house they knocked for admission. Presently adumpy, middle-aged man stood in the doorway, and a wo- man as short and infinitely more rosy brought up the rear, with the identical tallow dip they had seen an the distance elevated above her head. “Hello, there!” said the man. “Good-eyening, sir,” returned Brevier. far is it to the nearest tavern ?” “Five miles and better.” “So far! I fear we shall be obliged to trespass ‘wpon your hospitality or perish. Our jaded beasts ‘would hardly take us that distance over these roads and through such a blinding storm.” “Jacob Yan et a the one to turn either man or beast from his door, ’specially sich a might as this. Here, Jud (to a great overgrown boy who appeared eect take ther hosses ter me stable and feedthem well. Walk right in, gen- itlemen.” He led the way to the long kitchen, where a great fire, upon the broad hearth, greeted them with its cheerful warmth. “Mother, git some supper; they must be hungry.” The good woman at once began preparations, and wery shortly the tired and hungry fellows sat down ‘to a savory meal. _ That finished, they drew around the fire and en- joyed a social evening with their host and his wife, Martha, and were informed that their only “darter, Mary Ann,” with her cousin Anna Munson, from “Philadelphy,” had gone to a dance. / Finally as the clock struck nine—a late bedtime for the old couple—Jacob led the way to the best bedroom, a combination also of parlor. It con- tained a niche, screened by bright chintz curtains. A cheerful fire shone upon the hearth, and Brevier gavean animated whistle as he looked about after they were alone. : : “A piano, Fred, asIam sinner!” exclaimed he. Lhe that rustic divinity of a ‘darter’ pre- sides—” “Stop your sailing about, Harry, and take a look atthis bed. Talk of snow-banks. .What do you think of this?” s And Hollister swept aside the curtains and re- vealed a huge bed, which reached half to the ceil- “How ing. ““Feathers!’” groaned Harry. “*Yes, a hay-stack of them.” “Let’s take them off!” desperately. “Heavens! no. We should never be able to get the things together again. Let’s give a dive, and pid how they did things ‘in our grandfather’s days.’ ” _ After many jokes at the expense of Pennsylvania feather-beds, they were at last safely landed amid ‘the luxuriant depths. And although Harry insist- ted he would smother, and that he was a fixture for life, they were soon asleep. A few hours later they were suddenly awakened ‘to the consciousness of feminine presence, and as Brevier happened to be upon the “fore-side,” it was an easy matter to draw aside the curtain and peep out. He gave his companion a very compre- thensive nudge, awakened him, and both looked out atthe unexpected tableau. : They saw two young girls in robe de nuit sitting ozily before the waning fire. The younger, with her rosy face, into which was set as bright a pair of black eyes as could be, was braiding her long, dark ‘hair into shining strands. The other, a tall blonde, with creamy complexion, was shaking hers ‘out of twists and plaits, which she prettily tossed bout like a golden vail. “How good of Aunt _ Matty to have this fire made for us. Cousin May. I confess theterrors of your =e room were more to methan the freezing ride home.” “You city people are such hot-house plants, Anna, ‘ ) r.”’ “You darling little iceberg!” and Anna’s arms were flung around her cousin. “You darling little Salamander!” returned May, &issing her cousin’s pink cheek. ‘Please let me finish my hair.” At that moment Brevier groaned, but com- plaining winds and beating storm drowned the sound, or the denouement might have come sooner than it did. But the fire was dying, the hair- plaiting finished, and the girls resolved to retire atonce. | “By gracious!” whispered Harty Fred, “they are coming in here. shall we do?” “Keep still, and make believe asleep,” responded his companion, and they instantly resumed their places upon the pillows. “How are we to reach the pinnacle of this moun- ‘tain of repose ?” laughed Anna. “Oh, as you are the tallest, you will have to ‘boost’ me, and then I will lend you a helping hand.” , After a little more badinage and considerable Jaughter, May began the ascent, Anna lending scarcely a helping hand, for she was shivering so with the cold, and the almost-expired firelight gave her only the dim outline of the white-robed figure . eo cousin hanging upon the side of the in the ear of hat in thunder e The next moment down came May, with a plunge and a stifled scream. man!” she gasped. in the bed!” _ Fiddlesticks and nonsense!” answered her cous- in, and springing up, she dashed to the mantel, struck a match, recrossed the room, opened the curtains, and standing upon tip-toe, flashed the dight~upon the two bearded faces. Then the little taper expired, and she ejaculated, in a smothered whisper: “Good heavens! there are two of them! But thank, fortune! they are asleep, and we can stea eut again without waking them.” ‘Suiting the action to the word, they hastily gath- éred up their scattered wardrobe, and glided out, and up totheir ownftoom, — Scarcely had the door closed upon the affrighted ‘and shivering girls than an explosion of laughter burst from the lips of Brevier. It was timely smoth- ered by a pillow in the hands of Fred, else it would thaye awakened the entire household. eer HOD Still, for Heaven’s sake!” said Hollister. Let the poor things believe us ignorant of this ex- ose. “Oh, Anna, there is aman “One of them, at least,” returned Harry, “can’t be guiled by any such moonshine.” “T should like to know why? It wastoo dark to see anything distinctly, and you heard the city cousin declare we were sleeping.” | “Well, you see, when that little thing was attempt- ing to climb up_ here, one little hand fell directly across my mouth,’’ said Harry, going off in a fresh roar. Fred strangled him again with the pillow, and when hehad reduced him to a degree of silence, answered: ; “Well, in her confusion and fright, how should she be aware that you were cognizant of the fact? Keep quiet, I tell you.” ‘ “That—arn’t—all,” gasped Harry, fighting away the pillow. “You see, when that little par hand dropped so temptingly upon my lips, I could not resist kissing it.” : : “The duse you did!” exclaimed Fred, and still more savagely applied the pillow to keep ‘Brevier from another explosion. ’ It took an hour tosettle themselves to sleep again. Meanwhile, up in the little, low-roofed chamber, quite as interesting a tete-a-tete was going on. The girls were huddled together in bed, both as rosy as eonies, and May sobbing as if her heart would reak, “Why, child, they were both fast asleep, and in entire ignorance of our even having been in the reom,” said Anna, soothingly. ; “I—I—know—better,” sobbed May, covering her tear-swollen face. “My—my—hand fell right across a ere nasty-bearded mouth, and it—it—kissed me!” “You certainly are mistaken.” : “How mother ever came to put those men in her best bed, and who upon earth they can be is more than [I can understand. Of course I supposed mother had ordered the fire made up in the parlor on your account, Anna, and that we were to sleep there. Oh, dear, I shall never be able to get over But she did get overit. As the young wanderers were snow-bound for days at the farm-house they became right good friends, and six months later there was a double wedding, and Harry Brevier claimed the hand he had so warmly kissed in the dark, while Fred Hollister carried off the city belle, and both declared it was the best piece of “pros- pecting” they had ever done. oo THs house stood alone. The young serenader halted beside the gate, gazing expectantly at the window of his lady-love, longing for her to obscure the moonlight by the radiance of her glorious pres- ence. Hetwanged the guitar to rapturous words, hoping the harmony thus evoked would stir her heart with tumult sweet, and bring her forth. Fan- ey the revulsion of feeling he experienced when the window was dashed up by brawny hands, and a harsh male voice roared, “See here, you con- demned young idiot! that gal that you’ve been yowling to for the past half-hour has cleared out. She and her mother left for the city last week, without paying their board.” THE EVIL EYE. A SOUVENIR OF VENICE. BY FRANCIS A. DURIVAGE. During my visit to Italy, in the winter and spring of 1874, I met a Captain Rupert Stanley, an English- man, first at Naples, afterward at Rome during the carnival, and finally at Venice. He interested me strangely from the first glimpse I had of himina railway carriage. It was not a case of ena te at first sight,” however, for I think I was 4s muc repelled as attracted by him. He was tall, and strongly and gracefully built. His features were regular, but his complexion, evidently fair origin- ally, was bronzed and tanned by exposure to the vicissitudes of many climates. is mouth, as far as a luxuriant brown mustache permitted it to be seen, expressed_as much firmness as sweetness. But his eyes! From their dark-brown, well-like depth, flashed a ray fierce, penetrating, vindictive, such as I had never before seen, which froze the blood in my veins, and prompted the irrepressible thought, “Surely this man has the Evil Eye.” _ [had even then been long enough in Italy to be impressed by the universality of the superstitious beliefin the Eyil Eye. I had seen the public story- teller at_ Naples in the midst of one of his romances stop suddenly, shudder, and point the first and lit- tle fingers of his right hand at some person in the crowd, to avertthe deadly influence of some auditor he supposed to be possessed of the evil eye, and casting aspellon him-—+the pointed index and lit- tle fingers constituting the counter-charm and averting the dire omen. ButIsoon forgot the half-superstitious dread with which the Englishman impressed me, and we were talking earnestly together. Stanley had traveled almost all over the world, and had met with a variety of adventures. In spite of his many interesting reminiscences, I did not take tothe captain, for lsoon discovered that he was self-indulgent, hard, cruel, haughty. We were Givilto each other—and he gave me a coer- dial invitation to visit him in Venice, where he had apartments in a palace on the Grand Canal, not far from the Rialto. Here he was to stay, he informed me, until a party of friends from England joined him for a projected expedition to the Tyrol. In due course of time, after several weeks spent in Rome and Florence, our party found itself quar- tered in Venice, in a hotel on the Grand Canal, di- rectly opposite to the beautiful church of Santa Maria della Salute. The first business was to en- gage the services of agondolier and guide. Fortu- nato Martelli,a healthy, robust man of fifty, well recommended for honesty and intelligence, agreed to serve us in both capacities for a moderate com- pensation, and fulfilled his contract loyally. One evening I seated myself in Martelli’s gon- dola, and he propelled me toward the Piazetta. The rays of a full-orbed moon flooded the marble eity of the sea with light, giving it a most picturesque aspect, while the entrancing strains of a fine mili- tary band floated over the water from the Piazza of St. Mark. Landing at the Piazetta, at the base of the column which supports the emblematic winged lion, I hastened tothe piazza, three sides of which glittered with the lights of restaurateurs and con- fectioners, the fourth being ocoupied by the splen- did, half-barbarie church of St. Mark. The even- ing was warm,and as old Martelli, my gondolier, seemed fatigued, I invited him to eat an ice with me outside of a brilliant eafe. He accepted my offer gratefully, and we sat downto a little marble table to partake of the refreshment. _ “Buy my flowers, signor,”’ said a soft, plaintive voice, as a young girl with a basket hanging from her dimpled arm glided up to me. he was very beautiful, and looked as if she had stepped out of one of Titian’s canvases, her fea- tures, hair, and complexion being exactly thosethe matchless master loved to reproduce. As I declined to buy, the flower-girl sighed, and walked away wearily and slowly. “EH mia fa,” said Martilli, in his Venetian patois. “Emia fa Zerlina. It is my daughter Zerlina. Poor child! we are very poor, and she tries to help us by mending, and working laces, and selling flowers. But the flower-trade is overdone. She would be satisfied if she could get a place as cameriera (wait- ing-maid) in some English or American family re- siding in Italy, for she speaks English well. He overtook his daughter, exchanged some word with her, and then bade me good-night, for it had pest, arranged that I should walk back to my] otel. After wandering round the arcades for perhaps an hour, I took a seat at a table and called for acup of coffee. AsIwas slowly supping it, a familiar voice attracted my attention. [half turned my head, and recognised my military acquaintance of the Evil Eye, Captain Rupert Stanley. Beside him sat Zerlina, the flower-girl, listening to him with rapt attention, her red lips parted, her eyes full of eagerness, her beautiful head bent forward. Be- fore them were a bottle of wine, two goblets, and a porcelain dish heaped with tempting fruits. The air reminded me somehow of Mephistopheles and arguerite. tee I listened intently, for I suspected some sinister purpose on the part of Stanley. ; “And you think this lady will engage me, signor capitano?”’ I heard Zerlina say. c “On my recommendation, I know she will,” was the answer. ; ‘“‘And she must see me to-night?” “To-night, mia cara,” (my dear.) “Tam ready.” Both rose and left the square. I followed them, keeping in the shadow of the royal palace, for I did not wish Stanley’to recognize me. Heled the way to the quay of the piazetta, and handed Zerlina into one of the many steel-prowed: gondolas waiting there for passengers. They had no sooner em- ee than it shot away with the speed of a wild uck. I stepped into another gondola and beckoned the young gondolier to my side, pointing out the light craft that heid Stanley and Zerlina. . “Double fare,” I said, “if you keep in the wake of that gondola.” : : “T understand, signor,” replied the young man, and we were soon following the other gondola at the same rate of speed, and as if towed by her. Half.a mile from St. Mark’s I met Martelli in his gondola, and as we passed each other, I gave him a whispered order to follow quietly in my wake. Soon after passing the palace occupied by Lord Byron when a resident of Venice, my gondolier whispered to me that the gondola we had followed was moored to a flight of marble steps, and that the passengers had gone into the palace from which they descended. Ibade Martelli come on board my gondola, and keep perfectly quiet beside me. Meantime my eyes were riveted on the curtain of a window in the second story of the palace, which was _ vividly il- luminated. Acrossthis curtain passed the shadows of two persons, a man and a woman, and I was certain that they were those of Stanley and Zerlina, though Martelli did not recognize his daughter in the black silhouette above him. These two shad- ows enacted quite a littledrama. Themale shadow approached and offered a caress, which the female shadow indignantly repelled, then a female voice, piercing and indignant, exclaimed: “Traditore!” (traitor). ; Instantly the curtain flew up on its roller, Zerlina appeared for one moment poised on the window- sill, and then spreading her arms, gave a desperate leap. Our gondola plunged and rocked furiously as the girl sank beside us, the water dashing all ovar us. Maledizione!” (maledietion)! cried a man’s voice, and for one instant, the fullheight of the man of the Evil Eye showed itself at_the palace window. That instant, however, was sufficient for Martelli’s purpose. The old gondolier drewa pistol from his breast and leveled it at the Englishman. The barrel did not waver. A shark click was followed byajarring report, a jet of flame, a puff of light-blue smoke, swelling up into the moonlight—a groan and then a heavy fall. Martelli hid his pistol, and took his oar, while Zerlina by this time was crouching at his feet, the water pouring from her drenched garments. She looked up at the old man and murmured: “Mie padre, (my father) forgive me, but you taught me © ~< Rev. H. W.

For the benefit of our patrons who have been so much pleased with the cork bosom-pads, we mention another novelty of cork. It is a corset in which cork is used in plaee of whalebone. The corsets are neatly made of French coutille, and are finished with anedge of embroidery or Hamburg. The cork renders them adjustable to the figure, but proves afirm and sure sup- pert, without the disadvantages of whalebone, which often after washing becomes brittle and easily breaks, and also cuts through the cloth at either end of the bone. Medical men have given these corsets their commendation, because they are light, fiex- ible, and yet support the form without injury to the general health ef the wearer. The price is $2 for those now in market, but later we shall be able to seeure more expensive grades. . At present.only one style is made in all sizes, and those are the $2a pair quality.

This waist takes the plaee of “ae ehentise, corset, and corset-cover, and is so arrang that the bandsof the outer skirts do not lay over one another, and, although fitting the form closely, leaves every nerve, vein, and blood-vessel free to act, thus securing the rec- ommendation and indersement of all our leading physicians. “Ina Stanton.’’—Your Dest plan would be to use an adjustable Pompadour collar, which can be worn with anydress. You may use pattern No. 4,530, price 15 cents, as this is the latest style. The possession of adjustable decorations often proves a great re- liet in emergencies, as with a moment of preparation an ordi- nary dress may be magically transformed into a pretty “com- pany” costume. The Pompadour collar is a very stylish capriee, which would beautifully embellish an otherwise plain waist or corsage. A foundatien of silk, or muslin, or better than all, of crinoline, is first required to form the shape, which is made to elose in front, rounded at the neck, sloped to fit the shoulders, and descending deeper over the bust than in the back, with a straight lower edge on each side. The silkis arranged in a series of puffs extending lengthwise over the figure, and matching soW nicely at the shoulder-seams and where they meet at the point of separation in front, that the division does not show. A ruffle of lace berders the bottom. A new standing shape is the silk collar, which is cut with broad square projections toward the ends upon the upper edge, that are turned oa, over against the lower part. This style is appropriate with a black costume, and may be made in black, or any color may be worn, provided the other ornamentations, such as bows for the coiffure and sleeves, correspond with that chosen for the collar. Cream-colored silk may be used with cashmere lace, and blue, white, or pale rose- silk is extremely elegamt employed with either fine white lace, black guipure or Chantilly. This pattern is also applicable for a Pompadour of tulle or Brussels net, with the collar omitted and the neck finished with a lace frill or illusion ruche.

This garment has a deep-rounded front, ad- justed by center-dart and the usual bust-darts, and is perfectly plain. The back, where the basque opens, 1s composed of two forms, designed in the favored French method which fits the figure, The lower edge of the basque is scolloped in the form of. two rounded points, and wide knife-plaitings sewed to them ex- tend to the depth necessary. The neck is rounded and finished with a knife-plaited ruff, adjusted so as to produce a frill stand- ing both ways, the upper section being narrower than the lower one. The sleeves are in coat-shape, with extra width laid upon the upper side and trimmed with piping and buttons which match those fastening the upper side of the basque. “Mary Newell.”—One of the most stylish costumes may be made after the following patterns: Skirt, No. 4,413, price 35 cts. This is stx-gored, and may be pertectly plain, or, if desirable, you may trim with a wide flounce of the material, hemmed at: the lower edge and slightly gathered at the top. Ashort distance above, two bias stripes, doubled and gathered, form pretty stand- ing ruffles, the lower one of which 1s separated from the flounce by a narrow plaiting stitched near each edge so that a bye ing isformed. The effect is charming, and the. trouble trifling. The overskirt, though plain and round, is so arranged that the two sides aré quite different. It has a wide front-gore, at each side of whose center is a short dart, which fits the garment to the figure. Aside gore is also at each side between the back breadth and front gore, and at the left side it is joined to the front gore by a lacing of tasseled silk cords, which tie in a pretty bow-knot at the bettom ofthe gores. At the right side the gores are joined in an ordinary seam; but, while upward-turning folds are made in the seam of the back breadth and side gore at the right side, the corresponding seam of the left side is undisturbed, except by tapes that are sewed underneath, and tied with sim- ilar ones attached to the draped seam, to draw the gores closely to the figure. The back is gathered and secured to a belt, and is also draped. To the left side gore is attached a pocket formed of along, wide strip of material, laid in upward-turning plaits that are stitched to position near the frent edge totorm afrill. The laiting 1s mounted on a lining of the fabric, and the plaits are lind-stitched to position at the back edge under their folds. A handsome ribbon-bow, fastened to the bottom of the pocket, stylishly completes it, and the edge of the overskirt may be finished with a plaiting or bias band. This overskirt pattern is No. 4,528, price 30 cents, and is very fashionable and stylish. The basque 1s exceedingly natty, and fits the figure charmingly. The front is adjusted by two darts and a seam, and is short and round, while the back has a graceful postilion. There is a seam -<@t THE NEW YORK WEEKLY. S2-- through the center of the back, but the postilion is cut on a fold of the goods, and is laid in plaits turning backward on the out- side. The skirt of the whole back is considerably longer than that of the front, and presents a square outline, a tiny slash being simulated by the discontinuation of the underarm seam a short distance from the bottom of the front. The sleeve is in ceat-shape, but the outside seam is left open for a short distance from the wrist, and a plaiting is inserted. The edge of the sleeve is completed with the piped fold, anda handsome bow is added at the top of the plaiting. A military collar, piped with silk, encircles the neck, and a ruching of lisse is worn about the throat and wrists, while a lace tie, drawn about the collar and knotted in front, completes the costume.

This entire suit is new and exceedingly stylish. “Meta B.’—Some of the new shapes in hats are positively to be worn on the head, the moderately wide brims proving pro- tection to the face. A pretty hat of dark straw’has the round- ing crown quite concealed by a loose twist of velvet coiling about the sides and mingling with heavy clusters of currants, together with a full ostrich tip, which commences at the front and floats backward over the top. The brim is nearly flat at the front and sides, butvat the back it inclines toward the crown in a slight toque outline, where it is seemingly held by loops of velvet entwined with fruit and foliage. A very high disposal of the hair upon the crown of the head will be found necessary to locate this hat, but that will not prevent the low arrangement at the neck in the categan braid style, which is so becoming to the shape of many ladies’ faces. ——_>0+_____.

It is not necessary that the articles should be penned in scholarly style; so long as they are pithy, and likely to afford amusement, minor defects will be remedied. | Who is the Mother of Them ? Farmer P., of Long Island, has four turkeys and a gobbler. When the turkeys commenced sitting, the gobbler did not appear to know what to do with himself. After a few days’ wandering around he took up his position bythe side of one of the hen turkeys. Thinking that he would soon get tired of that, no notice was taken of him; but after sitting for almost a week, it was thought best to give him something to do; so fifteen hen’s eggs were placed in his nest. After the usual time he hatched out twelve chickens, and began the task of raising them ; but being a wanderer, he has lost all but seven, but is doing his best to be a mother to them. A Valuable Servant. Basnful Spooner (on his honeymoon):—‘‘Larry, my wife and I have both noticed that the townspeo- ple stare at us very hard. I hope you haven’t been telling any body that we are newly-married ?” Larry (the faithful factotum):—‘Me, tell ’em, sor? Is it likely O’id go agin my express ordhers? Why, whiniver any body thryed to pump me, sor, O’ive towld ’em you wasn’t married at all.” Cutting off the Gas. A vain and loquacious young man, who fills a clerkship in the office of the Brooklyn Gas Compa- ny, visited a witty young lady of that city the other evening, with whom he had but a slight acquaint- ance, and, upon entering the parlor, commenced a stream of talk, which he kept up for about fifteen minutes, without affording her an opportunity to getinaword. He finally rested for lack of breath, and then the disgusted damsel quietly asked: Mr. T—,, what are you charging for gas now— by the thousand feet, I mean ?” Mr, T—— gave the subject a few moments’ silent consideration, and then, rising slowly from his chair, cast upon his fair companion a look of the deepest reproach, and passed softly out “where the stars were shining.” A Considerate Irishman. In asmall town in Ireland, a medical gentleman was one night disturbed by repeated tappings at his door, and, on getting up, found a laboring man soliciting his immediate attendance for his wife. Have you been long here ?” asked the doctor. ““Indade I have,” answered Pat. “But why didn’t you ring the night-bell ?” h Och, because I was afraid of disturbing your onor.” . The Darkey’s Flag. As a venerable divine was riding along down the street he saw a youthful son of Ham displaying a flag of truce in the rear. The doctor being near- sighted, supposed the African was about to lose his handkerchief, and so called out to him. The negro looked amazed, but catching hold of the flag, remarked: ih a ar dat handkerchief is buttoned ’round my neck.” The doctor drove on, singing, “Jerusalem, my happy home.” Didn’t Ask Them. The retort of alittle boy to alawyer in a police €ourt, not long ago, created some amusement. The lad being a witness, was questioned concern- ing a certain cheap novel alleged to have been stolen. “What was the picture on the cover?” asked the attorney. ‘Two Indians,” was the reply, “What were the Indians doing ?” “I didn’t ask ’em,” answered the boy. The attorney suddenly discovered that he had no further use for the young witness. A Lady Wounded. . How delightful it is to walk thus in the quiet twi- light, our two souls holding sweet converse apart from the gazeof that passionless crowd.” Just here astick from a rocket sent up from the mass meeting struck her in the bustle, and she faintly whispered: “George, save these papers; we’ve stop- ped our subscription andI’ve nomore.” The band played the “Mulligan Guards,” and they sat down on a door-step while she reorganized the demoral- ized rear. Why He Didn’t Grow. “How old are ye ?” said Mr. Kilpins to a dwarfish young man. “Twenty.” ‘ _ “I wonder you aren’t right down ashamed of be- ing no bigger; you loek like a bey of ten.” *““All comes of being a dutiful child.” “How so ?” “When I was ten, father put his hand on my head and said, ‘stop there,’ and he then ran away. I’ve never seen him since, and didn’t think it right in me to go on growing without his leave.” The Irishman’s Cat. A poor Irishman applied to one of the overseers of the poor for relief, and upon some doubt being expressed as to whether he was a proper object for parochial relief, he enforced his suit with much earnestness, “Och, yer honor,” said he, “shure I’d be starved long since but for me eat.” ‘ “But for what ?” asked the astonished interroga- or. ‘Me eat,” rejoined the Irishman. “Your cat! how so ?” , Shure, yer honor, Isould her eleven times for sixpence a time, and she was always home before I eould get there meself.”’ Poverty Receives a Pang. “Suppose, Belle,” said a poor but honest Chicago youth to a Prairie avenue girl, one day last week, suppose that a young man loved you dearly—very dearly—but was afraid to ask you to marry him— maybe because he was very timid, or felt too poor, or Sprepiine what would you think of sucha ease _. Think?” answered the girl immediately. ‘Why, if he was poor, should think that he was doing just right in keeping still about it.” The question was dropped right there. A Bad Lawyer. There was a recent trial for murderin Ireland, where the evidence was_ so palpably insufficient thatthe judge stopped the case, and directed the jury to a verdict of not guilty. A well-known law- yer, who wished, however, to do something for the fee he had received for the defense, claimed the privilege of addressing the court. . We'll hear you with pleasure, Mr. B.,” said the judge; “but to prevent accident. we'll first acquit the prisoner.” Shutting Up an Englishman. A Kentuckian becoming incensed at the boast- fulness of an Englishman as to the superiority of British inventions, exclaimed, “Pshaw? They are of no account, Why, a house-painter in my neigh- boorhood grained a door so exactly in imitation of oak, that last year it put forth leaves, and grew an excellent crop of acorns; and another fellow up in Towa has just taught ducks to swim in hot water, and with such success that they lay boiled eggs!” The Englishman from that time forth exhibited a tmoodest and subdued air. Wasted Compliments. “What exquisite preserves. Mrs. Smoothly; how do you have such splendid luck with everything you put up ?” complimented one of the ladies at the tea-table, ““Whatare they, by the way ?” Mrs. Smoothly is taken by surprise, but recovers herself and calls the servant. “T haye not tasted them yet,” she said, ‘and have really forgotten whatI ordered the girl to put on for you. Bridget, what are these preserves ?” “Thim, ma’am? Thorty-five cents a can; sorra the nickel less would the grocer take, and thim big green thingsin the dish beyant is fifty c&hts fur a little glass jar.” Tableau of silence, and a good-hearted, honest girl out of a job two hours later. BURLINGTON HAWEKEYE. A Baby Agent, In a thriving town of Michigan, a year ortwo ago, when the country was full of agents, and almost everybody was agent for something or other, a cer- tain infant of that town, being blessed by the ad- vent of a baby brother, was very inquisitive as to where the little stranger came from. Being in- formed that Dr. 8—— had brought it, he stood in a brown study for a moment, when, with the intelli- pen or of one who has solved a difficult matter, e asked: “Say, pa, is he the agent for them?” SN Ae Me RACE a CRE SL Bae RUE Hl) Torpedoes, A LaDy applying for admission to the junior class of an American seminary, being questioned by the president as to her qualifications, replied, “I ain’t much a an arithmetiker, but I am an elegant gram- marist.” A LEADING maxim with almost every politician is always to keep his countenance, and never to keep his word.

BY BRADDOCK FIELD. There were periods in the Revolutionary war when the hand of Providence seemed clearly to be extended in behalf of the struggling patriots. Washington often recognized what he regarded as the interposition of the Almighty in the events that secured our independence. While General Howe, in March, 1775, was preparing to attack the uncom- pleted American works on Dorchester Heights, a gale, followed by a tempest of wind and rain which lasted for three days, prevented the embarkation of his army in boats from Boston. This delay enabled Washington so to strengthen the Heights as not only to remove all danger of an attack from the British, but also to compel Howe to evacuate Boston. There was great danger, after the American de- feat_at the battle of Long Island, that the British might destroy the vanquished army even within their lines at Brooklyn. Howe, however, delayed to follow up his success, and Washington was thus given time to evacuate Brooklyn and withdraw to New York. On the morning of the day of the evac- uation,adense fog prevailed over the whole of Long Island, while the New York side of the East river was perfectly clear. Before the rising sun had dispersed the fog, the entire American army, with all their stores, artillery, and ammu- nition, had been crossed in safety, and it was then that the British knew for the first time that their prey hadescapedthem. Similar seemingly Providential interpositions saved Gates’ army on October 11th, 1777, from an attack on Burgoyne’s position under circumstances which might have proved disastrous, and preserved Greene’s army in his retreat before Cornwallis me North Carolina in January and February, Onone occasion when the cause seemed most hopeless from the privations that the soldiers en- dured, Washington wrote to Congress, saying that the army was in rags, in want of clothing, and am- munition, and military supplies; that if attacked it had no means of resistance, and would probably disperse, and that, surrounded by secret foes as he was, he had no money even to detect them or to learn the designs of the enemy. Congress was in despair, not being able to do anything to relieve the army from its embarrassments. The distin- oe Robert Morris, the great financier of the evolution, and a man to whom we largely owe the blessings of liberty, was present in Congress when this message was received. He left the hall, brood- ing over the evils that could not_be remedied, re- paired to his counting-house, and there, to his in- expressible joy, learned that a certain laden ship with soldiers’ clothing and military stores had just reached her wharf. The gratification caused by this arrival was all the greater because Mr. Morris had given up this particular vessel for lost. Con- gress was soon informed of the welcome fact. That same day,too,the specie needed by Washington was forthcoming, and was dispatched to the chief. A rich Quaker gave the sum needed, and took no other pledge for its return than the promise of Ro- bert Morris to repay it. After the battle of Princeton, an American officer was found on the field of battle so horribly mutila- ted that in order to satisfy the British officers by ocular evidence of the barbarity of their troops General Washington sent the body under flag o truce to Sir George Osborne, with the request that he would inspect it. Osborne’s reply to this ghastly piece of attention on the part of Washington was regarded by the British as a real bon mot, but every candid man must acknowledge that it was unfeel- ing to the last degree. ‘Tell General Washington,” said Sir George to the truce officer, ‘that I return him his body, as I am no coroner.” The disease known as nostalgia, or homesick- ness, was very prevalent at times among the con- tinental soldiers. An instance is related of a gal- lant New Jersey soldier, named Embleu, who, hay- ing applied for a furlough to visit his friends in that State, was given sufficient reasons byhis cap- tain why it could not be granted. “T know you are right, captain,” Embleu replied, “but I feel that to me your refusal means death.” In three days his prophecy found its fulfillment. It was also observed that the Irish and northern soldiers when sick were most subject to depression, and it was a common remark among the hospital surgeons that “when a Yankee oran Irishman says ‘I will die,’ all medical aid may as well be withheld for die he would.” Colonel Small, of the British army, was a man whose considerateness, gentlemanly bearing to American prisoners and unaffected’ humanity to the unfortunate Americans whom the chances of war threw into the power of the British, earned for him the affection and gratitude of the Americans everywhere. In Trumbull’s famous picture of the “Battle of Bunker Hill,’ Colonel Small is_repre- sented as turning aside the bayonet of a British grenadier which is directed against the breast of the dying Warren. This representation is, however, based on_a mis- take, for, as Colonel Small himself told Mr. Garden, the author of “Anecdotes of the Revolutionary War,” General Warren was already dead when he reached the spot on which the body lay. General Putnam was an old friend of Colonel Small’s before the breaking out of the war, and one of the most interesting episodes of the battle of Bunker Hill was connected with these two officers, At one stage of the engagement, Small, left alone by the retreat of his troops, was exposed to the fire of the whole American line. Seeing his danger and recognizing him, Putnam called aloud: “Kill as many as you can, my men, but spare mall,” and at the same moment pushed aside some muskets that were aimed at him. Thefiring ceased, and Colonel Small, gallantly waving his sword in recognition of the clemency that had spared his life slowly walked down the hill, and rejoined his fugi- tive regiment. Among the many instances of Tarleton’s inhu- manity, at the time that scourge of the Southern provinces was operating in South Carolina, the two following incidents will suffice to show how unre- lentingly he carried on his special style of warfare. A young man named Stroud, living in the neigh- borhood of Rocky Mount, when the yictorious British army advanced after the fall of Charleston into the interior, determined to accept a “protec- tion” from the conquerors, with the hope of saving his PROperty Not long afterward, however, repent- ing of his seeming disloyalty to the cause of his country, he abandoned his home and rejoined his American comrades in the field. He had returned to his duty buta short time, when his command had an engagement with Tarleton, in which he had the misfortune to be captured. Tarleton ordered him to be put to death on the instant. He was hanged on atree on the roadside with an inscrip- tion pinned to his clothing, declaring that any man who should dare to cut him down would suffer the same fate. This cruel threat did not deter poor Stroud’s sister, after three weeks had passed away, from seeking the spot and obtaining the body, to which she gave burial. The other case was that of a youth, named Wade, from the same neighborhood, who was deluded into joining Tarleton’s dragoons, He also soon repented and deserted, with the pur- pose of seeking his home. He was pursued and overtaken, and Tarleton ordered him to receive a thousand lashes. It is hardly necessary to add that he died under the lash long before the ven- geance of Tarleton had been satisfied. —_——-2<—______ Wriim DunuaP, a boy of 13, from Colorado, was found asleep in a threshing machine in Keokuk, having run away from home, made a trip to the Centennial, and got so far back again without a penny in his pocket.
